Chapter Seventy-Four: Appreciate the Divine Sword and Ward Off Evil Intentions!
ps: The third update, although it can't meet the enthusiastic request of the book friend "Charlott Haserinck", but it is also a heart!
At this moment, all the guests had different expressions, and then they suddenly realized that the young man with a secret identity in front of him actually knew the old man in front of him.
Shi Yifeng was also surprised in his heart, where would he have thought that his grandfather Shi Yun'an would treat the young man in front of him so much with great courtesy, which made him feel unhappy in his heart.
Shi Wanrou's eyebrows froze, the young man in front of her was dressed plainly, his appearance was ordinary, and there was nothing surprising about it, he could get such a courtesy from his grandfather, his identity must be good, and he was a little curious about the young man in front of him.
But I heard my grandfather call him a Taoist friend, could it be that the identity of the other party was a disciple sent by a certain Taoist master to celebrate his grandfather's birthday?
Looking at the guests again, all eyes were already focused on Zhongli.
Zhongli was unmoved, calmly, and just waited for Shi Lao to speak.
"Well, since Xiaoyou said so, you and I will be called old friends and little friends, what do you think?" Shi Yun'an knew that the young man in front of him was very powerful, and he would definitely not support it.
Zhongli raised his hand and said, "It's all based on what Elder Shi said!" ”
Subsequently, a group of people who offered gifts to celebrate their birthdays took out their own carefully prepared birthday gifts, and there were eight immortals who crossed the sea to show their magical powers, which were more valuable than the gifts they gave and the most attentive.
"Shi Lao, is the kid Xu Mingshuo of the Xu family, or did I take great pains to find the three-hundred-year-old wild ginseng from an old farmer in the mountains. I heard that this mountain ginseng can replenish qi and invigorate qi, which is of great benefit to people's bodies, so I specially found it to give a gift to Shi Lao. Here, Mingshuo wishes Shi Lao Fu such as the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan! After Xu Mingshuo finished introducing aloud with a proud expression, he immediately said a word of birthday wishes.
Shi Yun'an just praised Xu Mingshuo casually, and didn't say too much.
Although the 300-year-old wild ginseng is precious, for the Shi family, there are still two Changbai Mountain wild ginseng of more than 500 years, and they will not be moved by these 300-year-old wild ginseng.
Xu Mingshuo felt disappointed, and immediately retreated into the birthday crowd.
Then there was another gift, such as Shen Yucheng and Ling Moxuan, both of whom offered a pair of calligraphy and paintings, because they knew that Shi Lao liked calligraphy and painting the most.
"Okay, good, this picture of Autumn Mountain asked, although it is not hidden in the Zhongshan Museum, the work of the early Song Dynasty Juran master, but this painting is deeply the essence of the Juran master, plain and innocent, Fang is ethereal and wonderful! Presumably, the painter is also a moral and virtuous person who has a comprehension of the natural avenue. Shi Yun'an's kind eyebrows and kind eyes were full of joy, and they were full of words.
"Well, this painting can indeed be regarded as a masterpiece!" At this time, the crane-haired and child-faced old man standing next to Shi Lao immediately twisted his beard and praised.
Shi Yun'an was even more happy after hearing the old man's praise, and immediately asked people to quickly put away this picture of Akiyama and ask for it.
"Hey, Mo Xuan, this painting you gave to the old man is a bit ingenious, and the sword is on the wrong side!" Shi Yun'an immediately opened a painting that Ling Moxuan had given him, which really surprised him.
When everyone heard this, they all held their breath and waited for Shi Yun'an to explain.
Zhongli also saw the painting clearly, on this picture, there is only a peachwood sword, the wooden sword is about three inches long, the hilt and the body of the sword are golden yellow, painted on a long scroll of paper, but it seems to be extremely discordant.
"Elder Shi, this divine sword to ward off evil spirits is an ancient painting handed down from the generation of the old lady of the Ling family. Although I don't know that it was made by the master, but it has been hidden in my Ling family painting pavilion, my grandfather specially explained to me, let me dedicate this painting to Shi Lao, such as Shi Lao, you are a moral Qing scholar, in order to have the fate to collect this painting. Ling Moxuan's expression was natural, his words were fluent, and what he said was calm and relaxed, but in Shi Yun'an's ears, he was very satisfied; At this time, it can be seen that the three young people of the Ling family are talking and nourishing their energy, and they are by no means idle.
This is the self-cultivation temperament of the so-called ancient inheritance of the sons of big families, and it is difficult for ordinary squire children to be like this.
Since it is an ancient painting that can be hidden in the Ling Family Painting Pavilion, it must not be a simple painting.
"Well, I didn't expect that your grandfather Ling Beifeng, that old guy, would be willing to give me this ancient painting hidden in your Ling family's painting pavilion, even if his old boy still has a little friendship with me! However, this ancient painting is very weird, since it is a divine sword to ward off evil spirits, but on top of this painting, there is only this inch of small sword, but it seems to be confined to the power of the divine sword to ward off evil spirits, and the power is insufficient. Shi Yun'an's eyebrows froze, and he was puzzled for a moment, and then turned his questioning eyes to the five friends on the side.
The five old men also didn't understand what they meant, and then shook their heads and said nothing.
Even the crane-haired and childish-looking old man was silent, not knowing the true meaning of the painting.
Who knew that at this moment, Xu Mingshuo, who had already retreated to the crowd, suddenly stood up, recommended loudly, and said: "Elder Shi, your appreciation of paintings must be difficult for anyone to match." Now you must be deliberately silent with all the old gentlemen, in order to test our stupid juniors' understanding of paper painting. But Mingshuo only studied for a few more years, and he didn't even get a master's degree. Alas, I will not be here to offer ugliness and comment on this excellent painting! However, Mingshuo felt that this Zhong Dao Chang must be a person who had attained the Tao, so it was better to ask him to tell me the true meaning of the little sword in this painting! ”
At the moment when Xu Mingshuo finished speaking, all the guests looked incredulous, when would the son of the Xu family, whose name was far and wide, be able to say such impressive words.
However, what he said was very heart-wrenching, and in an instant, everyone turned their attention to Zhongli, who was still calm and relaxed.
Zhongli glanced at Xu Mingshuo in front of him in his heart at this moment, although this guy was uneasy and kind, but since then, he has a different opinion on the cognition of these rich children.
Who said that the children of rich families are all unbearable, look at the person in front of you, isn't he just thinking about the dance of the law and making ink, cleverly putting him on the cusp of the storm, and then becoming the laughing stock of everyone?
If other people, even if they can't answer the true meaning of this ancient painting, it doesn't matter much, anyway, no one can explain the true meaning of this painting of the Excalibur to ward off evil spirits.
But he is different, everyone knows that even the previous Shi Lao called him a bell chief.
This Zhong Dao Chief, Shi Lao didn't call it to everyone for nothing, you don't have a real talent to learn, can you still afford the word "Dao Chang".
When the time comes, he doesn't need to be slapped in the face by others, maliciously humiliating him as a pseudo-Taoist, and he loses the chess first, so he can only consider himself unlucky.
"Yes, grandpa, I have long found out that the Zhong Dao chief god Ge Qingqi in front of me must be a moral person who is a mystical god. It's better to ask Zhong Daochang to explain the true meaning of this sword to ward off evil for grandpa and all uncles and grandfathers! Shi Yifeng suddenly followed and stood up, and said virtuously to his grandfather Shi Yun'an.
Shi Yun'an was a little embarrassed, but he immediately had the idea of asking the chief Zhong Dao in front of him to solve the doubts in his heart.
He didn't think much about it at first, only when everyone thought that the chief of Zhong Dao in front of him was a Taoist friend who had to be polite to Shi Yun'an, so he would have the current scene of virtuous behavior.
"Zhong Xiaoyou, I don't know what you mean?" After Shi Yun'an thought about it, he suddenly asked with a look of apology.
In fact, he is not old and stupid, and it is so simple to think about his grandson as a virtuous person wishfully, but he is unwilling to let go of the opportunity to solve the confusion in his heart, so he can only ask the young friend in front of him.
In his heart, he must have Zhong Dao in front of him, since he can cultivate such an unpredictable mystery, he must not be an idle person.
In terms of the true meaning of this Taoism, I also have a unique opinion!
