Chapter 44: Emperor Guanwu
How did things get to this?
Ah Ku was in the grass, holding a handful of weeds in his left hand, holding a brand new firewood knife in his right hand, looking up at the bright sun in the sky and the birds flying leisurely, his expression was a dull face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
She obviously came to find her Crane Master, how did she become a coolie......
The mint-green gauze had been taken off and properly tucked away in the seabe, and the wide cyan sleeves were rolled up high and tied with a corset, revealing two thin arms that had been sunburned to the wheat color.
Originally, I just wanted to help him make some tea, but because there was no hot water, Ah Ku had to go to the dilapidated grass hut and dig out a dirty kettle from a corner covered with spider silk and dust.
In the process of struggling to wash the kettle and waiting for the water to boil, Ah Ku couldn't stop cleaning the dirty grass house, and when the grass house was cleaned, he couldn't help but start cutting the weeds that grew wildly next to the grass house.
And then there was no then......
The birds flying overhead had not yet flown away, and continued to hover and call above Ah Ku's head, as if urging and supervising Ah Ku's harvesting work.
Ah Ku let out a long sigh and resigned himself to bending down again to mow the grass.
Anyway, she's a toil!
Not far away, a handmade stove is burning with bright yellow flames, and the clean kettle on the stove is steaming.
Ah Ku put down the firewood knife and walked over, although he really wanted to carry the kettle over like this, end the mission, and go home. But after struggling inwardly for a while, she poured boiling water into the wooden barrel next to her, scalded the washed tea set inside, filled another pot of water, and let it burn again.
She poured the water out of the tea set and went back to work by the weeds.
"Looks so well-behaved! That's your new apprentice? ”
On the other side of the peak, which was covered by weeds, a middle-aged man in a yellowed cloth robe was still slumped on a large stone chair, his right hand supporting his forehead, his eyes indifferently looking down at the scene of all beings, without compassion, as if he was a god standing on the top of everything, as if nothing in the world could affect his emotions.
At some point, a man in the prime of life wearing a dark robe, a burly figure, and a long beard appeared next to the big stone chair.
The big man looked about the same age as the middle-aged man, although he had a big belly and a little fat belly, but he stood straight and heroic, and he was mentally many times more energetic than the middle-aged man who was paralyzed.
The middle-aged man sitting like a stone sculpture still didn't move.
The man in Xuanyi continued to ask, "On the way here, I heard that you didn't show up for the apprenticeship, but sent Hebai over?" ”
The middle-aged man still didn't speak, but with a flick of his left hand, a round stone table appeared between the two.
The two have obviously been friends since before, and I saw the man in the dark clothes lift up his robe, sit down beside the stone chair with a golden knife, and said: "Since you don't want to accept apprentices, you just said it directly, why bother to make the little girl think that her master is a crane." ”
The middle-aged man glanced at him, but still ignored him.
The long-bearded man was a little unhappy, and said: "Hey, Qingyuan, I am thousands of miles away, and I have rushed over day and night, and you will treat guests with this virtue as the host!" ”
The middle-aged man who had been sitting on the big stone chair finally moved slowly, he lifted his body, moved his buttocks back, leaned back on his waist, and said, "I didn't call you here." ”
Meaning, you yourself want to come and let me ignore it, who is to blame.
The long-bearded man was not angry, and said: "Qingyuan Tianzun, who is worthy of being the head of the Four Heavenly Venerables, is still so ruthless in his speech. ”
The middle-aged man snorted and said, "Emperor Guanwu came from thousands of miles away, what is it for?" ”
Xuanyi Dajun, who was called Emperor Guan Wu, touched his beard very calmly, and said: "It's nothing, when Qingyuan's documents were sent, I didn't believe it, people like you actually changed their temperament and accepted an apprentice, and they were still a female apprentice." Even the eldest brother suspected that Xiule's writing was wrong, so he asked me to come over and take a look. No, I'll take care of the matter at hand, and I'll rush over to congratulate you. But ......"
Emperor Guan Wu asked the same question again: "When you came, I heard that you didn't even go to the apprenticeship?" ”
The middle-aged man's voice was still cold: "It's just a formality, it's enough for Hebai to go." ”
The long-bearded man touched his beard and said with a smile, "This is not like you!" Why did you suddenly change your character? Could it be that because the other party is a delicate female doll, you love the house and Wu, and your subordinates are merciful? ”
"Jiaodidi?" , the middle-aged man disagreed, and said, "Where is that female doll?" ”
With his bare hands and wounded, he climbed close to the peak, and he didn't see any such child who could be described as "delicate".
The Xuanyi man let out an "oh" and asked, "But I see that this female doll doesn't seem to have started cultivating yet, why are you willing to take her as an apprentice?" ”
Qingyuan Tianzun still didn't answer him, he waved his left hand, and a pair of chess appeared on the stone table out of thin air: "Come to a game, I'll tell you if you win." ”
Emperor Guan Wu, who had never won chess in his hand, smiled helplessly and said: "Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it, play chess, play chess." ”
When Ah Ku finished cutting the weeds and boiling the water, what he saw was the stone table that had not yet been there just now, the down-and-out immortal monarch and a big man in Xuanyi who had never met before, bowing their heads and playing chess seriously.
The down-and-out Immortal Monarch looked quite tall when he sat well, but the yellowed cloth clothes and untidy hair and beard made him look a little sloppy.
On the other hand, the big man opposite him was strong and dark-skinned, but he sat in a straight posture and had an extraordinary bearing, and he knew at a glance that he was a powerful person.
However, his beard is really long, and it is almost hanging to the ground, but his beard is black and shiny, like a girl's hair, which shows that he should have a lot of maintenance on weekdays.
Who is this person?
Ah Ku was a little speechless in his heart.
Could it be that the peak of the Heavenly Peak in this town is specially used to take in outsiders?
This will certainly be one possibility, and there is another.
Could it be that he is Qingyuan Tianzun?
Come to think of it, it's possible!
No matter in terms of appearance, bearing, and demeanor, this man in Xuanyi is more in line with the appearance of Qingyuan Tianzun in the rumors.
"No, no more."
A cold male voice that Ah Ku had not yet heard came from the mouth of the middle-aged and down-to-earth immortal monarch.
Emperor Guan Wu paused for a moment and said, "Why don't you take the second half of the good end?" ”
The middle-aged man waved his hand, and the chessboard disappeared.
He glanced up at Ah Ku and motioned with his eyes for her to bring the tea set.
Ah Ku, who came back to his senses, hurriedly walked over.
