Chapter 7 Chang'an Yayu
On the night of light snow in Wangjia Village, Mrs. Du killed herself; Zhongli Jian is happy to be a teacher. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhong Lijian and Yang Zhang told the story: It turned out that Zhong Lijian had been delivering food to Du Qiao and Li Gu in prison. One day, seeing that the two adults were tortured to the point that the oil was almost exhausted, Zhongli rushed out of the city to find his younger brother Zhong Liquan in Baihe Town. Who knew that when they arrived in Luoyang, the two adults had already been in the north of the city. The brothers were about to snatch the body, but were stopped by a fortune teller. This hexagram seller used to be Li Gu's protΓ©gΓ©, named Wang Cheng, who was proficient in scriptures and did not like officialdom, so he made a living selling hexagrams in the market. Wang Cheng informed the Zhongli brothers that the Du family had fled westward, and asked the two to quickly go to protect them, while Wang Cheng went south to chase the Li family. The brothers traveled day and night, and finally chased to Wangjia Village, but saw that the village was full of fires, and Mrs. Du had killed herself, but fortunately, the baby was unharmed, and the Du family's incense was continued.
The sky is cold and the night is cold and the ground is full of frost, and I only watch the nebula turn with the moon. Everyone agreed to leave Wangjia Village overnight, and they were not driving the carriage at the moment, but walked through Hangu Pass and continued west. Along the way, thousands of trees and thousands of white jade strips, crossing the Lincun Road and the Creek Bridge. When they met a family that had just given birth to a child, Yang Zhang and others went to beg the mother to feed some human milk; When you can't meet a pregnant woman, you have to buy some milk and goat's milk as a substitute; When it is even worse, the rice should be ground into powder and boiled into porridge paste. It's ridiculous that the Zhongli brothers are all big men, and the baby Du Zhen is only more than the size of their palms, but the two of them have to take turns to coax and feed, often drenching themselves with feces and urine, which makes people cry and laugh.
In the old days, Emperor Qin's house was on the Liu, and it fell into the homes of the people of Xijing. The wild goose pagoda cangbailantai willow, Chang'an flying snow all night. On this day, everyone traveled to Chang'an, the winter wind was bleak, the sun was unpretentious, the snow was boundless, the dead wood was springless, and the passers-by were dim.
In the Defu Wine House, everyone was full of wine and food, and Wang Lao was going to take Zhong Lijian to Zhongnan Mountain to cultivate. The two brothers are reluctant, it is exactly: earthly brothers are like siblings, and it is difficult to see them when they enter the mountain gate. At that time, whether it was father and son, husband and wife, siblings, but anyone who had the idea of entering the world and wanted to cultivate in seclusion was tantamount to being separated by yin and yang. How many people have cultivated for decades and then returned to their hometowns to visit relatives, but what they see is that things are wrong with people.
Wang Lao smiled and said, "Your two brothers still have a day to meet, why be sad?" When the master spoke, the brothers were naturally convinced, and they both turned their sorrow into joy.
After his brother Zhong Lijian left, Zhong Liquan looked at the Zhongnan Mountain Range and sighed.
Yang Zhang had just fed the baby Du Zhen, and when he saw that Zhong Liquan was very thoughtful, he said: "Brother Zhongli, as soon as Brother Ling left, you missed it, it is really a brotherhood." β
Zhong Liquan replied: "Brother Yang, my brother worships under the master's door, and my heart is happy. It's this Zhongnan Mountain that reminds me of the past. When I was defeated and fled for my life, I lost my way, and it was in this Zhongnan Mountain that I met the master, who guided me to the Tao in the Ningslow Cave and passed me the Qinglong swordsmanship. When I think about the fact that I have been separated from my master for nearly half a year, I can't help but miss it. β
Yang Zhang said: "Brother Zhongli, now that Brother Ling is going with the teacher, you might as well go back to Wutai Mountain as soon as possible to serve the Lingshi." β
Zhong Liquan said: "Why don't you go to Wutai Mountain with Brother Yang." If you live closer, I can take care of you. Even if the Liang thieves chase them to Wutai Mountain, we don't have to be afraid of them. β
Yang Zhang said: "You are a cultivator, and you are always worried about us in your heart, how can you cultivate?" In my heart, I don't want to lead the Liang thief to Wutai Mountain to disturb your cultivation. β
Zhong Liquan asked, "Could it be that Brother Yang has already thought of a place to go?" β
Yang Zhang replied, "Do you remember the young man we met in Baihe Town? I remember that he once said that the people of the land of Xiqiang are simple and simple, and it is located in the Western Regions, and it is expected that the claws of the Liang thief will be difficult to reach. So I want to continue westward and go to the land of the Qiang people. β
Zhong Liquan persuaded: "The environment over there is treacherous and the materials are poor, so it is really not the best choice. If you don't want to go north to Wutai Mountain with me, you might as well settle down in Chang'an. Chang'an City is big, even if the Liang thief wants to find you, it will not be easy. β
Yang Zhang said again: "Brother Zhongli doesn't have to worry about it, I will take the child to the far area over there, no one will know it, and it will be clean." β
Zhong Liquan was about to persuade again, but Yang Zhang's words were heard by a young man who had just entered the door. The young man stepped forward and shouted, "Bad man, where are you going to abduct this baby?" β
Yang Zhang and Zhong Liquan looked at the young man, but saw that the latter was long, golden-shaped and jade-shaped, phoenix eyes facing the sky, the bridge of the nose was towering, the neck was trimmed and the cheeks were exposed, the instrument was lofty, and the Confucian was wearing a bundle, dignified and extraordinary, carrying a sword on his back and a wine scoop on his waist.
When Zhong Liquan saw that he was a white-faced descendant, he said angrily: "How can the descendant speak? β
If you were someone else, you were already frightened by this big man, but later you said angrily: "You two villains, do you want to abduct and sell this baby?" β
Zhong Liquan was about to have a seizure, but Yang Zhang stopped and said, "Where did this come from?" β
Hou Sheng replied: "I have only seen two husbands and wives or women feeding their children, like you two rough men with children, but I have never seen it, where is his mother?" β
Yang Zhang and Zhong Liquan were asked by him. But such a stranger can't tell him about the child's background, but how can he explain it now?
Zhong Liquan said: "Who are you?" Why meddle? β
Hou Sheng replied, "Who am I?" I am a person from the world, and the people of the world must be in charge of the affairs of the world. Say, "This is the first one you have kidnapped?" β
Zhong Liquan couldn't listen anymore, and shouted: "What first? Yang Zhang suddenly thought about it, stopped Zhong Liquan and said: "Hou Sheng Xiu wants to talk nonsense, his mother is recuperating at home, our brother is hungry, come out and drink a few glasses, and then go home." After speaking, Yang Zhang beckoned to finish paying for the wine and food, and pulled Zhong Liquan to leave the wine house.
Zhong Liquan wanted to eat a few more glasses of wine, but he was disturbed by this afterlife, and he was unhappy, but he couldn't have a seizure, so he had to leave with Yang Zhang. The two hugged Zhen'er, and they didn't know where to go, so they just left the place of right and wrong first. When the road met the car and horse shop, Zhong Liquan said to Yang Zhang: "Brother Yang, from Wangjia Village in Gucheng, we walked all the way for more than ten days, and we held the child in our arms and endured all the hardships. I still have some money, so I'll buy a carriage to get around. Yang Zhang thought for a while and said, "It's okay, Brother Zhongli." It's just that it's not good to buy that luxurious carriage, it's good to be simple. Zhong Liquan replied: "Understood." The two agreed, and were about to enter the carriage shop, when a person behind him shouted: "Bad man, I know what you are doing." "The person who came was the handsome white-faced descendant who I met in the winery.
Zhong Liquan and Yang Zhang couldn't believe that this descendant had followed them for half an hour.
Housheng ran forward, drew his sword and asked angrily, "Didn't you say you wanted to go home?" How to get to the carriage shop? You two don't want to lie to me again. β
That's what traffickers mean. Zhong Liquan's eyelids wrinkled, and he said in his heart: First, I can't tell him the truth, and second, I can't reason with him. After that, I had to teach him a lesson, let him suffer some hardships, and then retreated. Zhong Liquan didn't say much, and put the fan on. Seeing this, Yang Zhang flashed aside with Zhen'er in his arms.
Zhong Liquan said: "Descendant boy, you really look down on people. No matter how down-and-out I am, I won't be a tooth dealer. β
Hou Sheng replied: "Hugh has to argue, wait for me to take you to the official." After saying that, he stabbed with his sword. Zhong Liquan was not in a hurry, and the fire fan flicked. After that, he couldn't absorb Zhong Liquan's strength, and before he could stand firmly, the sword stabbed back. Zhong Liquan turned the fire fan again, and said in his heart: This post-life body method is also sharp, when he has practiced kung fu for a few years, it is a pity that the foundation on his feet is unstable; He has been with us for so long for an irrelevant baby, and he is afraid that he is a tooth peddler, but his heart is excellent. When Zhong Liquan thought of this, he couldn't help but like the next life, but he resisted a little and refused to put down that heavy hand.
The offspring jumped left and right, slashing up and down, but he couldn't hurt anyone in the slightest, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. But seeing that his left hand was mutated, two or three fingers were bent, his thumb pressed the middle of the four fingers, and his right hand stabbed the sword again. Zhong Liquan looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Wow, I'm angry with me!" A move" green dragon in the sea "like the green dragon in the sea noisy, suddenly the sea rolls over the waves, the fire fan is called, and the descendants of the people with the sword fan are turned out.
At night, in the guest room of the wine house, Hou Sheng slowly opened his eyes and saw the two tooth wretchs looking at him. "Tooth Guy Run!" He wanted to jump, but found that he was numb and had no energy.
Yang Zhang said: "Don't toss in the future life, Brother Zhongli thinks that you are warm-hearted, and you have already been merciful to your subordinates, so don't annoy him again." β
Hou Sheng shouted: "I will fight to the death, and I can't let you abduct and sell babies." β
Yang Zhang said worriedly: "In your later life, have your heads been fanned?" If we were tooth dealers, how could we still be in front of you? β
Hou Sheng said: "This is also true. But where is the mother of the baby? β
Yang Zhang replied: "His mother just passed away a few days ago. It's a long story, so rest assured, we're not the kind of people you think. β
Hou Sheng said again: "Your brother, so much strength. β
Zhong Liquan didn't want to speak, but when he heard this, he said angrily: "Let me ask you, where did you learn the trick of chasing ghosts?" β
Hou Sheng was surprised: "What ghost chasing trick?" β
Zhong Liquan bent his index finger and middle finger with his left hand, and pressed his thumb around the middle of his ring finger, making a gesture towards the afterlife.
Hou Sheng said: "This? Is this called ghost chasing? I don't know. β
"And how do you learn it?" Zhong Liquan was even angrier.
Hou Sheng replied: "I am from Guangdu, Shu County. In our Shu County, there is a popular sect, called Zhengyi, which is designed for people to catch ghosts and cure diseases. I've been fond of Taoism since I was a child, so I learned a thing or two from them. Actually, I don't know what this means, but I think maybe it will increase my strength. β
Zhong Liquan shouted: "You don't understand and still use it indiscriminately? It's me today, and if you were another cultivator, I would shoot you to death. This ghost chasing trick is specially designed for chasing ghosts. When you used this trick on me, you saw me as a ghost, and it really blew me up at the time. β
Hou Sheng replied: "I really didn't know so much exquisiteness. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to look down on you. You say you're a Taoist? β
Zhong Liquan replied: "If I am not a Taoist, how can I know this trick? Besides, Taoists never say big things, don't you believe it? β
Hou Sheng thought for a while and said, "Then you said that the child's mother was at home before, but now you say that his mother just passed away a few days ago, may I ask which sentence is true and which sentence is false?" β
Zhong Liquan was stunned, and Yang Zhang was also happy. Zhong Liquan said angrily: "Then again, I was about to ask you, why did you say that we were tooth dealers when you saw us today? β
Hou Sheng said: "I heard this brother say that he wanted to take the child to some remote area to hide and be clean. In this Chang'an City, more than a dozen people have been lost in the past half a month. I can't help but think about it. β
Zhong Liquan asked again: "What exactly do you do?" Is it official? Look at you, it's not like that. β
Hou Sheng said: "I'm not an official. My surname is Ishiwa Tong, and my father is a county magistrate, and he wants me to be filial and honest and serve the imperial court in the future. Unfortunately, I have been uninhibited since I was a child, and I have ambitions in the mountains. When my parents passed away two years ago, I left home to take care of the injustices I saw while visiting the high-ranking people. β
Yang Zhang said: "I see. β
Shi Yantong said: "That person, you haven't answered me yet, does this child have a mother now?" β
Zhong Liquan looked at Yang Zhang and said, "This, can this be said?" Yang Zhang was helpless and nodded. Zhong Liquan told all about the baby's life experience.
β¦β¦
Shi Yantong listened to it for a long time and said, "I see, this kid is Zhongliang's queen." The two brothers are also good people, and the younger brother is clumsy. β
Zhong Liquan said: "You are also a warm-hearted person. It's just that I really think you're troublesome today, so I deliberately deceived you. β
Yang Zhang said: "Brother Shi, what did you say about the missing people in Chang'an City just now?" β
