[012] Exam questions
"Sparrow, you said they entered the teahouse?" The beautiful girl asked crisply like a yellow bird.
Sparrow, a young man in his early twenties, with a hint of wit in his eyes, replied in a deep voice: "Yes! Three people, one of whom was about his age, and the other an old man with crutches. It looked like the old man was closer to him, while the other young man seemed to be being held hostage. ”
"Oh?" Hearing this, the beautiful girl raised her head, and her eyes flickered, and the sparrow's face suddenly turned a little red.
In the private room of the tea room, the fragrance of tea was open, and Shang Yingying also talked to Shen You for nearly an hour, after all, the master died suddenly, and many things did not have time to talk to Shen You, and Shang Yingying talked to Shen You little by little.
Since the Tang Dynasty, the rivers and lakes have evolved into a pattern of "six sects and one religion", which is divided into Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, beggars, Qimen and bandits, and one faction is the Sun and Moon Sect. With the change of the times, Buddhism has evolved into Songshan Shaolin warrior monks and Tantric two branches, and Taoism has always been the land of Maoshan Mountain, Confucianism has always been to Qufu Confucius as the sect, beggars have always been called the world of flowers, the original four largest branches gradually declined, gradually withdrew from the rivers and lakes, to the founding of New China, there are barely disciples of Buddhism occasionally walk the rivers and lakes. Speaking of this, Shang Hero was stunned and tasted tea.
"Why don't you have a thousand doors?" Shen You asked in some surprise.
"Qianmen is subordinate to Qimen, in addition to Qianmen, there are also thieves and poisons in Qimen, of course, the strength of Qianmen has been weak, and the people are not prosperous, but the owners of Qianmen basically have the talent to reach the heavens and the earth, so the general sect does not dare to provoke Qianmen. As for the thief gate, it has always been the most powerful in the Qi Gate, and they are not strict in choosing disciples, so they can basically pay a visit. The poison gate is the most mysterious of them, and now it has evolved into the two families of the Sichuan Tangmen and the Southern Yunnan Five Poison Sect, but when these people walked the rivers and lakes, they had to go back to the time when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China! ”
"And what is a bandit?" Shen You gradually felt a little interesting.
"The bandits, as the name suggests, are the rebellions of every dynasty and every generation, and the court has unified them into the bandits, if the most bitter in the rivers and lakes is them, after all, many people just want to give the people a life of peace and contentment!"
"After the founding of New China, these should be gone, right?"
Shang Yingying shook his head and said with a little contemplation: "The recent people in the bandit sect are Hongmen, the Qing Gang, the Ma Gang and the White Lotus Sect, the Ma Gang and the White Lotus Sect have basically disappeared, but the Hongmen and the Qing Gang are still huge, especially with the Hongmen, they have basically gone to the world realm. ”
Seeing Shen You's somewhat surprised look, Shang Yingying said to him again: "Bandits were just a title of the government at that time, and the people on the rivers and lakes also summarized them with this habit, but there is no shortage of talents for the country and the people!" ”
"What about the Teachings? What is taught? ”
"The religion is Zoroastrianism that originated in Persia and developed to modern times and was renamed the Sun and Moon Religion. But they've been gone for longer! Shang Yingying said solemnly.
What is the current situation in the rivers and lakes?
The rivers and lakes now? The rivers and lakes are basically gone! In addition to the traditional Nanzhang and Beidai, it is estimated that they are the disciples and grandchildren who have been passed down from the people at the top of Sijiu City, as for those old goblins in Sijiu City, it is estimated that they will not go out for a long time!
"What's the matter with the jade piece?" Shen You couldn't help but ask again.
Shang Yingying glanced at him meaningfully and said, the jade piece is related to the luck of a court, when Tang Taizong launched the Xuanwumen Incident, it was actually a bureau set up by our predecessors of Qianmen, and at that time, whether it was Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng or Wei Chigong, Qin Qiong, in fact, their real identities were all from Qianmen, and the main general of Qianmen at that time disappeared after Taizong succeeded in claiming the emperor, and Tang Taizong and the master of Qianmen at that time agreed that if the descendants were not diligent in governing the people, then Qianmen could unite with other doors to assist the new monarch. On the front of the jade tablet is the word "piety", and on the reverse side is a road map, which is said to have buried rare treasures and other precious things. The master of our thousand doors is also very smart, knowing that the Tao is the duty of the courtiers, in front of Taizong, the jade piece will be split into eight, in addition to the bandits and Zoroastrianism at that time, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and beggars, and the thieves at that time because of the power, the ancestors also gave them a piece, and the other three pieces are in our thousand doors. You are like Huang Chao is the master of the door thief back then, and he also informed the master of our thousand doors when he was in rebellion, but the master of our thousand doors is kind and loving, and he is unwilling to put the sword soldiers on the people, so he refused his request.
Listening to Shang Yingying's eloquent words, the pictures in the "Thousand Doors Canon" that had appeared in Shen You's mind came out one by one, and he really felt the weight of his identity for the first time. And the more he knew about it, the more questions he had, he just wanted to ask again, but Shang Yingying interrupted him and said: "Don't want Qiao Liu's matter, it's very good for me to tell you the origin of the jade piece, as for Qiao Liu's matter, I will naturally tell you if you pass my test, and I believe that my old brother in the spirit of heaven will also agree with me to do this." ”
Shen You nodded and said softly, "You say, no matter what, I will definitely give it a try." ”
Shang Yingying didn't say it directly, but first asked: "Do you know what the thousand in the thousand doors mean?" ”
"A thousand is piety, which means that everyone must have a patriotic heart and love the people. And a thousand is not a lie, but a kind of wisdom. ”
"Not bad! The one who has a thousand riches cheats, and the one who has a thousand kingdoms is the king! "This is the essence of our Thousand Gates. The richest man in Yanhai City is called Zhang Haotian, it is said that he has a pair of Wu Daozi's "Heavenly King Sending His Son", which is extremely precious, and in a week's time, you will send that picture to my hands, and then return it to him three days later. After finishing speaking, Shang Yingying's eyes were blazing, and he looked at Shen You fixedly.
Although he was still a child when he studied art with his master, Shen You also vaguely remembered that Wu Daozi seemed to be a generation of painting saints, and remembered that the master also said that there was a celebrity who said that poetry was as for Du Zimei, as for the text as for Han Huizhi, as for the book as for Yan Lugong, and as for the painting as Wu Daozi. And the changes of ancient and modern, the world can be done! It can be seen that Wu Daozi's skills are profound. However, looking at Shang Yingying's elegant expression, Shen You still nodded without the slightest hesitation.
The business community of Yanhai City has the saying of "one black, one white and one black and white", and the black is the fourth master of Long Feilong, basically all the underground industries such as nightclubs with gambling properties in Yanhai City are his apprentices and grandchildren, although each area has its own boss, but they all have to give Long Fei a confession, and what is there is also a mediation by Long Fei's people. In a white way, Zhang Haotian, the richest man in Yanhai City, Zhang Haotian's ancestors started as a seafood transportation, and processed and transported the seafood in Yanhai City to other provinces in China for sale, and when it came to his father's generation, as soon as New China was established, all the family property was donated to the country, and he suddenly achieved a relatively good reputation, and when he arrived at Zhang Haotian, he built a 12-story Haotian Building, basically involved in all industries, and several large-scale projects in Yanhai City were done by him. As for black and white, it is between black and white. Pi Xianchao has a legitimate enterprise and his own entertainment city, and his entertainment city and Long Fei have always been well water and river water, and they each operate their own business, which can be regarded as between black and white.
These people in Yanhai City know about the Dao, Shen You took less than an hour to understand clearly, at this moment he is walking around outside Haotian Building, Haotian Building is located on the southwest side of Yanhai City, and many enterprises are loose or even do not have a gate post is different, the gate post outside Haotian Building is unusually neat, and it is also very energetic.
As it says in the "Dictionary of a Thousand Doors", create opportunities when there is no opportunity, and give up decisively when you can't create opportunities! Shen You didn't find anything to break through after wandering around outside Haotian Mansion for a while, and immediately turned around and walked towards the city, Zhang Haotian's home is in the city center, different from traditional buildings, Zhang Haotian's home is a slightly old two-story building, the plaque is impressively written "Zhangfu" two big characters, but there is still a quiet in the downtown area, which makes people feel unusually comfortable.
After Shen You turned around, he found that the place where he buried the box was only a dozen meters away from the backyard of Zhangfu, looking at this, Shen You couldn't help but shake his head secretly, could it be that this was the will of heaven?
Just when Shen You wandered to the southeast of the house, he suddenly found that there was a faint evil aura, according to the Five Elements Bagua, this location should be the Jimen of the courtyard, but now it has been changed to a wounded door, when Shen You saw this, he was slightly stunned and fell into deep thought.
When the beautiful girl was drinking rock sugar lotus seed soup, Aunt Shui walked up to him and whispered to her, "Girl, the helper has sent someone." ”
The girl nodded and asked lightly, "Who?" ”
"It's Lao Mu!"
"Uncle Mu?" A flash of joy flashed in the girl's eyebrows, and before she could speak again, a hearty voice came from outside the door: "Sheng'er? I saw a fat man with a big belly and a suit walking in. Behind him were two sturdy men. Aunt Shui also seemed to know that the two of them had a very good relationship, and when she saw the fat man walking in, she retreated.
"My dad actually let you come?" The girl had some joy that she couldn't hide.
"Well, Longjia Longyi will give you the current person, and your Aunt Huo and I will contribute to you, except for Lao Jin and Lao Tu who can't leave your father's side, I think your father is down this time!" The fat man said with a hearty smile.
Sheng'er naturally knows the weight of these people, the fat man's name is Mu Zhizhou, and the fire unicorn, the water is invisible, the golden finger, and the earth Chengyao are called the Five Elements Iron Guard, all of whom have followed his father for many years. immediately laughed and said: "That's it, with such a strong lineup, Sheng'er is relieved!" ”
"I heard something was lost?"
"Well, it's lost, but I feel like it's going to be continuous again, but with one more teenager and an old lame man......"
"Old cripple?" The fat man was stunned for a moment after hearing this, fell into deep thought, and muttered in his mouth, could it be him?
"Who? Do you know that? Uncle Mu? It seemed that she was very happy to see the fat girl, and asked continuously.
"Well, back then, the old gang leader took the gang leader to run errands with me, and I met him, if it was him, it would be difficult!"
"Who the hell is that?"
"It has to be 20 years ago, the master of the thousand doors at that time was called Lu Tianming, because he was the second, he was called Lu Er on the rivers and lakes, at that time he found five thousand door keepers, and then found two more to open the altar to worship the ancestors, the fire general at that time was called Shang Yingying, and he was invincible all over the world with a drunken monkey fist. However, it is said that after Lu Er was calculated, two brothers died, and he disappeared from the world. It is said that after he left, the fire general kept looking for him, you said that there was a jade piece, and that young man knew monkey fist, could it be that the lame man was still a hero? But how could he be lame? ”
