(741) Junior Brother
- Lin Shan has been looking for his junior brother Cen Chi for more than ten years, but he has never found an accurate trace. This matter lasted for a long time, and Chen Jiu also learned a little, because she had a lot of eyes and ears in Kyoto before, and Lin Shan had also entrusted her to rely on her eyeliner to search for a period of time in Kyoto. Chen Jiu was extremely suspicious of the strange scholar he saw in the inn, suspecting that he was the junior brother Lin Shan was looking for.
Originally, even she herself was a little surprised by this speculation, but the misty falling flowers blurred her vision, but the outline of the scholar's actions and demeanor was clearly reflected, which was a temperament that was very close to some of Lin Shan's manners and habits, and it was very likely that he and Lin Shan's sitting, eating, and learning together for several years were the result of polishing.
And if you don't look at the positive face of the scholar who seems to be Cen Chi, just look at his back riding a horse, it is even more like Lin Shan, who was weak at the age of more than ten years ago, when he first came to Kyoto. This image does not refer to physical features, but to behavioral habits.
This is like a veteran who has been in the army for many years, even if he is ordered to unload his armor and blend into the expansion team, the bow and arrow he carries on his shoulder becomes a plow, and the lance he holds in his hand becomes a hoe, but the width of his steps under his feet, and the posture of his shoulders and waist when walking, can still reflect the model of the marching army.
Cen Chi is not from a military background, but he is one of the descendants of the Beili School, the rules of this ancient school are very strict, and if you stay in this school for a few years, both your knowledge and behavior will be more obvious and the traces of this school will be more obvious.
After listening to Chen Jiu's speculation, Lin Shan's expression suddenly became solemn. It seemed that the inference in his mind at this time was close to the same as hers, but because of this, his mind became a little complicated.
Chen Jiu stared at him for a moment, and couldn't help but whisper, "Is there anything tricky?"
Lin Shan didn't say it directly, but said slowly: "Actually, when my injuries were generally improved last year, I received a secret letter from my senior brother from Kyoto, knowing that my senior brother was going to look for me near western Sichuan. As you just said. The young man with the knife should undoubtedly be the head of the ten generals of the Prime Minister's Mansion, with a single surname and a subtext. As for the Taoist man, you don't know him. But I can roughly guess that it should be the descendant of the North Fence School. ”
As early as three years ago, when Hayashi returned to Kyoto. I thought about the hermit alien in the house that the Prime Minister raised in the name of making friends, and now I have investigated most of it, and the information of the ten generals of the Prime Minister is of course the first to obtain.
According to the law, Beijing officials can raise a certain number of private soldiers to protect the house, which is also because of the rules created by the turbulent situation in the last years of the previous dynasty, and there have been no rectification measures until now. However, of course, the details of these private soldiers had to be kept on file in both Kyoto Prefecture and the Ministry of War.
The intervention of the powers on the side of the Governor's Office. It was easy for Lin Shan to find out who had kept which private soldiers. The Prime Minister's Mansion was the place he paid close attention to, and of course he had repeatedly browsed the information of the ten generals who were not weak in comprehensive ability, including their portraits.
Of course, this is also known to the aged wine. Therefore, she was not surprised to see that Lin Shan could easily identify the name of the young swordsman she had just seen in the courtyard of the inn, but she was surprised by the middle-aged Taoist with eyes like electricity.
Why did you see a descendant of the North Fence School again?
Thinking about it a few days ago, the old pharmacist Liao Shi, who had just left, was also a descendant of the Beili School.
It seems that there are not many descendants of this school, but why is the rule of the inappropriate person only firmly tied to Lin Shan's head?
Chen Jiu hesitated. Finally, I couldn't help but knock on the side: "Actually, there are really a lot of your fellow disciples."
"The same door you are talking about, that Taoist you mean?" Lin Shan looked at the old wine, and there was a hint of surprise on his face.
Chen Jiu looked at him, although she didn't speak, her eyes were obviously asking: Isn't it?
Lin Shan shook his head slightly. said: "The heirs of the side door are the side branches of the division, and after the branches are scattered, they will no longer return to the backbone of the North Fence faction." In the future, I may have intersections with these collateral descendants, but there are almost zero places where I can be constrained or interfered with by door rules. ”
He never mentioned the matter of the Shimen school to outsiders, but today in the face of old wine, he has an evil idea to explain it slightly. After pondering for a moment, he slowly continued: "My mentorship school only transmits two formal disciples in one generation, and these two disciples will conduct a revised wisdom and art competition within the school after completing their studies, and one of them will be in charge of the ion token, use all the resources of the school, and will no longer be restricted by the school's regulations. The other disciple sat in the school and did not go out lightly, and the task of staying behind was to teach the next two disciples, and so on, for more than 300 years.
Just now I said that the Taoist is a descendant of the Beili School, because only the disciple who lost in the same competition carries the qualification responsibility of the disciple, and the disciple he has passed down can be regarded as the main lineage of the Beili. As for the one who won the same competition and inherited the ion token, of course, he can also accept disciples, and his disciples can be unlimited in number, but he is no longer the main descendant of the North Fence School, and he is not eligible to participate in the competition to obtain the ion token, so he belongs to the side line. ”
Chen Jiu frowned slightly, this explanation of the internal structure of the Beili School, she heard Lin Shan mention it for the first time, and for a while she felt both novel and confused. She tried her best to analyze what Lin Shan said word for word in her heart, and then she rubbed her forehead and said slowly: "Only two disciples in a generation? What if misfortune happens to one of them? It is a miracle that such a harsh rule can be passed down for more than 300 years. ”
Lin Shan smiled slightly when he heard this, and said: "People like my generation of Beilimen have left the sect to walk around before they have passed the guò wisdom and art competition, which is also the only special case since the twenty-second generation inheritance. As for the kind of accident you mentioned, if it hadn't been for the fact that you had left the protection of the Shimen School and encountered an attack by some evil force outside, and you were beheaded to death, you would never have died unprovoked. What's more, the main disciples of the Shimen School must learn a certain amount of martial arts, and ordinary bandits can't help it. ”
Chen Jiu seemed to suddenly remember something, and said with a smile: "Your master should be good at many skills, right?" Although the old pharmacist is a descendant of a partial sect, retrospectively, he is also a disciple of a certain generation of ion token holders, and the origin of the medicine he learned is still from the Beili School. In this way, although there are few main disciples of the Northern Fence School, in addition to practicing martial arts to protect themselves, it is unlikely that they will suddenly contract a disease and die young. ”
Lin Shan nodded with a smile. He didn't say anything more. As for the structure of the Beili School, he was only willing to talk about this step to Chen Jiu for the time being—perhaps he would only speak to her once in his life.
At this time, Chen Jiu had completely understood Lin Shan's explanation just now, and she gradually adjusted her curiosity in her heart. Suddenly, he was puzzled: "No, you said that there are only two main disciples in the generation of the Northern Fence School. But you seem to have a junior brother in addition to a junior brother, and these are three people. ”
As soon as she finished saying this, Chen Jiu saw the smile on Lin Shan's face freeze, she was slightly shocked, and asked softly: "Did I say something that shouldn't have been said?"
"You're someone who has nothing to do with the North Fence School, so it's normal to say that." Lin Shan's eyes fell to the ground. There was silence for a moment, and then his gaze returned to Chen Jiu's face, his expression had become extremely serious, and he said, "Jiu'er." I want you to promise one thing. ”
Chen Jiu was stunned, because Lin Shan almost never forced her to agree to anything in such a tone, which had no choice but to be unquestionable.
But she didn't hesitate too much, and nodded quickly, although she didn't speak, but her face was already solemn.
"You remember. I only have one junior brother, but I don't have any senior brother. If it is not in the necessary environment, you can't even mention the information of my junior brother. After saying this, Lin Shan suddenly sighed again. He said in a much softer tone, "It's a secret."
"I remember." Chen Jiu nodded earnestly in agreement.
It wasn't until today, listening to Lin Shan's initiative to talk about his school, and when it came to the rules of Na Xinke, more carefully than the information revealed by the old pharmacist Liao Shi a few days ago, Chen Jiu deeply understood why this school was so low-key and almost completely hidden.
If this is not the case, it is easy to break the dynasty by accepting only two disciples in a generation.
But this school of fortune has been able to perpetuate this rule for hundreds of years, and it is silent but in the most convincing way that it proves that it is meritorious, and that it is unlikely to be reversed in the slightest.
Although she still doesn't quite understand why the Beili School doesn't recruit more disciples, the same class of disciples is always limited to two people.
But she only needs to be clear about one thing, which is enough for her to keep her promise to Lin Shan. Regarding this rule, if someone with a heart obtains it, Lin Shan and his junior brother who have not been seen for a long time may be in danger. And if the "secret" that Lin Shan just said is revealed, then even his senior brother will probably be even more difficult to escape.
However, she didn't know that the word "secret" mentioned by Lin Shan, in addition to the ones she had deduced, really contained another secret. However, fortunately, she hadn't thought of so much, otherwise she would have doubts in her heart, but Lin Shan might not be willing to continue to answer, which only added to the trouble.
……
On the way back to Dongfeng Tower, Shi Yi and Yi Wen didn't say anything.
When he just left that courtyard, Yi Wen's mood was still a little complicated and uneven, he was just using reason to control his feelings, making him look calm on the surface, but this did not mean that his reluctance to Xie Lianyi would be shallower than Xie Lianyi's reluctance to him.
At this time, he really didn't have any mood to chat.
Shi Yi originally wanted to say something to tell Yi Wen to go early and return early, but when these words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back. Go early and come back early? Didn't Yi Wen know it himself? Seeing that this guy lost half of his soul as soon as he saw the fifth aunt, it was equivalent to answering this question more than a dozen times.
This evil doesn't need to be reminded by his junior, although his actual mental age is estimated to be Yi Wen's eldest brother.
When the two of them returned to Dongfeng Building, the music on the first floor had stopped, Yan Yu and several entourages he brought with him stood at the gate of Dongfeng Building, almost standing in a line, Shi Yi who saw this scene was surprised, Yi Wen also pressed a trace of worry under his eyebrows, thinking that he had delayed a little more in that small courtyard, and the young master of the Yan family had been waiting for a long time.
But this kind of thinking of the two of them actually can't stand scrutiny, there is everything in the Dongfeng Building, Yan Yuruo is really in a hurry to leave, sitting in the house and waiting, which is not much different from standing outside.
A group of people who don't sit on a chair and want to stand at the door to blow the wind are naturally for the sake of things.
Knowing that Yan Yu and his party were standing in a row at the door because they had just bid farewell to Ruan Luo, Shi Yi and Yi Wen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't expect Ruan Luo to walk so fast, Shi Yi was surprised in his heart.
Seeing that Yi Wen was back, Yan Yu and his party did not return to Dongfeng Tower, and said goodbye directly at the door. Taking off the delicate golden abacus hanging at the door, counting the number of people in the carry, and the things they brought with them, the Yan family's style was just like their family's true colors, and they just left.
Looking at the group portrait of the back of the dozen or so people walking away, I don't know if it was a psychological effect, or if there was a person who was indeed obviously different from other people in terms of clothing, Shi Yi felt that no matter how he looked at it from that angle, he could see where Yi Wen was at a glance.
He seems to be ...... with the people of the Yan family Some are difficult to fit into.
Maybe it's because he's already half of the people in Dongfeng Tower, so he looks at him differently?
Thinking of this chaotic and incomprehensible place, Shi Yi couldn't help but reach out and scratch the back of his head, and shook his head again.
There was a sudden yellow shadow in front of him, Shi Yi calmed down, and saw that it was Sanniang who came over. The relationship between Sanniang and Wuniang in the building is the closest, Shi Yi also knows this, I thought she was going to use his mouth to care about her sisters, but unexpectedly, the first sentence she said after approaching was something related to eating, and she didn't take Wuniang Xie Lianyi at all.
"Also mentioning 'Sihailou', you have eaten so many pine nuts today, if you go to eat seafood again, you are not afraid of being paralyzed." Hearing Sanniang's words mention the special seafood buns in Sihailou, Shi Yi didn't buy it at all, and criticized it.
"If you are paralyzed, what does it matter if you lie down for three days." Sanniang didn't care at all about Shi Yi's warning words, and then the arrogance in her words gradually rendered a somewhat strange ruffian, "With the three thousand taels left by the young master of the Yan family, even if everyone in our building is paralyzed for three days, it is not a loss." ”
Shi Yi laughed twice without sincerity, and said, "I haven't cashed it yet, don't be in such a hurry to get complacent."
"Yan Yu signed the order, can you run?" Sanniang looked disappreciative, and then she stared at Shi Yi for a while, as if she was not looking at a person, but a novelty, and said after a while: "Xiao Yi, you have said something like this more than once today, it seems that you doubt the sincerity and character of the Yan family?"
"This is called the indispensability of guarding against others." Shi Yi distinguished, "The ups and downs of the business sea, the ups and downs of people's hearts, shouldn't we keep an eye on it?"
