Chapter 78: Lust and Soul
Gu Qing is so big, he has never been looked at by a man so "eagerly and affectionately".
If he was just a very handsome young man, Gu Qing would sometimes look at Qi Shao, Zhao Dan and other students, but this Taoist who was obviously completely different from the painting style of the people around him looked like he was in his twenties, and his whole body exuded a cold and inexplicable temperament, which made her a little at a loss.
Here's what chapter to put on.,Wait ten minutes and then look at it.,Good.
'Why does he look at me like this?' Did you see my soul? ’
Why was she so uncomfortable? Could it be that this Heavenly Monarch sensed my sincerity? ’
"You ......"
"You ......"
Gu Qing sighed. If you really see through it, you can only admit it.
"If the Taoist chief has anything to ask, please ask."
Zhang Xuan had already decided in his heart that this was the star monarch of the mortal world, so naturally he didn't dare to slack off. He was a little flattered and said, "Don't dare, how can I be called a Taoist leader, a real person...... Mrs. Qiu can call me Zhang Xuan. ”
Gu Qing looked at it, yo, it seems that he is not here to "exorcise evil spirits"? At the moment, I was overjoyed, smiled and nodded to him.
Zhang Xuan's heart became even more excited.
She smiled at me and nodded three times, what does that mean? Real person, he's just a Taoist priest who has just entered the Taoist Gate for more than ten years, and he really doesn't know how to be sharp!
Zhang Xuan held down his heart that was about to jump out, and respectfully asked Old Taijun Qiu: "May I ask Old Taijun, the disciple has been cultivating in Longhu Mountain and has heard the deeds of Taoism since he was a child. It's just that there were many Taoist priests in the late Han Dynasty who were able to attain Taoism and ascend, why have they never heard any rumors of attaining Taoism in the past thousand years? ”
Gu Qing and everyone who heard Zhang Xuan's question: ......
"Oh my God, didn't this young man read too many immortal cultivation novels and was deeply poisoned, and when he saw that she could be a Kong Ming lantern, he thought she was also a cultivator, right? Gu Qing's cheek twitched a few times unconsciously, and said with a dry smile:
"Daochang Zhang, the old body only knows how to make lamps, not a cultivator, you are wrong to ask the old body this question. This lamp is also simple, everyone can do it, otherwise you will come to my government when you are free in the future, teach you the old body, and you will do it yourself? ”
As soon as Zhang Xuan heard Gu Qing's words, he suddenly felt that the five tones were ringing in his ears, the fairy music was ringing in unison, and there were heavenly maidens scattering flowers even above his head.
'Tianjun asked me to go to the Guogong Mansion, and he decided not to just teach me how to make lamps. Could it be that there are many people here, she doesn't want to reveal her identity, and she has a heart to talk to me, wanting to teach me the art of the Great Dao? I'M I'M I'......'
Zhang Xuan knelt down and kowtowed excitedly.
"Xie Qiu's old lady passed on the grace of art! Disciple Zhang Xuanjing bowed and led! ”
Gu Qing: ......
On the way back, in the carriage.
"Grandma, that Daoist seems to like Kong Ming Lantern very much." Li Ming hugged the goldfish lamp he bought in the West Market, "I heard that my grandmother was going to teach him how to make a lamp, and I was moved to cry." ”
“…… Maybe I look like his grandma? "Other than this, Gu Qing really can't think of anything, and when the Taoist priest sees her, it's like seeing a long-lost relative.
"But Zhang Daochang's appearance is much more beautiful than his grandmother, so I don't think this should be the case." In the carriage, Li Jun joined in the discussion.
As soon as he spoke, no one in the carriage spoke.
Gu Qing leaned against the wall of the car, feeling that he couldn't breathe. Li Ming opened his mouth wide with an expression of "My God, cousin, you actually said it".
Li Rui hurriedly said angrily: "Can this be compared? You're a ......."
When Li Jun saw that Gu Qing and the three of them had changed their faces, he thought of 'broken' in his heart, and hurriedly remedied: "I don't mean to compare my grandmother with Zhang Daochang, Zhang Daochang is a man, grandma is a woman, Zhang Daochang is only in his twenties, and his grandmother is already in her fifties, so I want to come to Zhang Daochang when he is in his fifties......"
"Don't say it anymore, please change the topic...... Gu Qing was stabbed again, vomiting three liters of blood, and he was no longer able to face this sinister world.
The two brothers, Li Rui and Li Ming, saw that their grandmother was so sad to be hit, and looked at Li Jun and laughed strangely.
Li Ming climbed next to Li Rui and said something in Li Rui's ear, and Li Rui nodded again and again.
Gu Qing looked at the two brothers who were chattering and blinked inexplicably.
After the two brothers bit their ears, Li Rui kept looking out of the car, and Li Ming still kept snickering.
Li Jun's heart suddenly rose a wave of uneasiness, which became stronger and stronger, until Li Rui said "stop", and when the car stopped, Li Rui pulled Li Jun up, Li Ming opened the car door, and the two brothers pushed him out of the car......
Only then did he know what the Tao was for.
This place is a street where rouge gouache and cloth silk are sold in the East Market, and the lanterns hung are mostly ladies' lamps and colorful palace lamps. If they want to return to the inner city, they must pass through here, so the two brothers discussed and left Li Jun here to "fight the grievances" for their grandmother.
When Li Jun saw the two brothers snickering, he knew that the Tao was not good, and he was afraid that they were annoyed by his stupid mouth and wanted to make fun of him. Sure enough, he was grabbed by Li Rui, struggled several times and couldn't move, and was thrown out of the car in an instant.
Li Ming once boasted that his brother could lift a stone drum of more than 100 catties during the Chinese New Year, but he didn't believe it, he couldn't imagine that this Li Rui really had extraordinary strength at a young age.
When he turned around, he saw a whole street of girls looking at the lights with sarongs, and many young people as old as him were pointing and pointing, and hurriedly exclaimed: "Don't make trouble, my cousin will make amends for you, let me go up quickly!" ”
Li Ming stuck out his head from the car window and said with a smile: "You said that my grandmother is not as good-looking as Zhang Xuan, and now there are good-looking girls on the street, you can watch it slowly." Coachman, hurry home! ”
Li Jun saw that the carriage really started to move, and hurriedly grabbed the wheel and didn't let go, but the coachman was afraid of hurting Li Jun, so he didn't dare to drive again.
Gu Qing heard what Li Ming said in the car, and knew what the two children had in mind.
This is also lacking in virtue!
She gave one of the two children a violent shudder, glared again, and hurriedly ordered the coachman to put down the stool and pick up Li Jun.
At this time, Li Junzheng felt that a girl in the market was looking at him who was driven off the carriage, and he was shocked and ashamed, but fortunately, his grandmother was reasonable and did not annoy him, and let him up.
The two children saw that they didn't get to him, and they had regretful expressions on their faces. Li Jun knew that he had said the wrong thing, but these two children teased him like this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, he was a straightforward person and couldn't speak, so he had to sit alone in the corner of the car and sulk at the car.
"Rui'er, Ming'er, go and apologize to your cousin." Gu Qingban lowered his face and shouted to the two children: "What your cousin said is the truth, although it will make people uncomfortable, but it doesn't really hurt people." The two of you know that your cousin is sick, but you leave your cousin in the pile of women, and this is really hurting others! ”
The two children were scolded by Gu Qing, and their faces were flushed, and they honestly apologized to Li Jundao.
Li Jun was redder than the faces of the two children, and hurriedly said that it was my fault, I am not good, and kept shaking his hand.
Gu Qing also sighed when she saw Li Jun's face blushing like this.
She also kindly reminded the child to pay attention to the way he spoke, but she didn't know if he was stubborn or how, although he also listened and suffered, but the next time he spoke, he would still choke to death.
He really didn't know what "euphemism" was.
Such a character is really not suitable for being an official. When he passed the spring exam, he should be persuaded to return to his hometown after gaining a fame, otherwise he would really get into trouble.
Fenzhou, the tribe of the Qianren people.
Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and at this time in the past, he should have finished dinner with the old and young in the house, and after sacrificing at home, he would look at the lights in Dongcheng together.
And now, he can only let Suluk hold him and bow to the moon.
"Master Li, do you also worship the moon?"
"Yes, we also worship the moon. Not only do we worship the moon on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but we also worship the moon on the fifteenth day of the seventh month. ”
"It seems that whether it is a Han or a Hu people, the moon is always the moon that makes people happy."
"yes, the moon is still the moon."
I don't know if the size of the house is good, and if my mother has worked hard, she will worry about him.
Li Mao was already barely able to get off the ground, and this morning he heard a commotion outside, and then asked Uncle Turku, it turned out that the Qiang people were going to hold a "moon worship" on the first full moon night of the new year, and the men, women, and children of the Qiang people were preparing for this.
He was confined to the house, and heard the sound of music and laughter outside coming high and low, today is the Shangyuan Festival, he has many things in his heart, and he really can't be at peace, so he asked Suluk to take him outside to have a look.
Li Mao came out of the tent and saw a bonfire lit between the tents of the Qiang people, and all the men and women gathered around the fire, dancing and singing, and enjoying themselves.
Li Mao thought to himself: 'Although the life of this Qianren is not as good as day by day, and the pasture is gradually swallowed up by the Han people, when it is time to laugh, he still has to laugh. ’
These people are very kind-hearted, and they have a clear sense of grievances. They knew that they had encircled the pasture and expelled them, and it was the officials in the Fenzhou horse farm who did not let them graze, so they hated the people in the horse farm wholeheartedly, and they could see him, but they did not show any contempt and hatred for him as a Han man.
The Han people rejected the Hu people and did not want them to enter the city, believing that they were barbarians and robbers, so they did not enter the city, and peddled things far outside the city in exchange for salt, iron pots and other items. They also often rescued Han people who were lost or wandered outside, and received them warmly, and the reason why Suluk knew Chinese was also because the tribe had rescued a wandering Han Chinese.
In their hearts, they are really not as good as these karma.
Many disasters and hardships have created their open-minded temperament, allowing them to face life with optimism and positivity every day.
Li Mao found an inconspicuous place to sit down, because it was cold outside, he wrapped himself in the clothes his mother had made for him. By the fire, men and women sang love songs to each other, those were all dialects, Li Mao couldn't understand them, but he also felt very enthusiastic and unrestrained, which made people have great confidence in life.
Suluk sat down beside Li Mao, smiling at a crowd of young people singing around a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl. This girl may be a beauty in the tribe of the Qian, but in Li Mao's opinion, her skin is a little dark, her facial features are too deep, and her figure is too tall, and she has lost the softness of a woman.
Only that temperament is very unique, and there is a kind of arrogance that is not common in women.
She threw her neck up and didn't even look at the boys.
Li Mao glanced at the young girls by the campfire and nodded knowingly.
It's really the most beautiful.
Soon, several teenagers caused friction because of their dedication to this girl, and friction and friction, and the young men began to fight together.
Several of the teenagers were knotted together, and one of them raised a fist and slammed it down on the other's shoulder, and the man stumbled under his feet, fell backwards, and when he fell, he hooked up and tripped the man, and the two jumped up together, glaring at each other, and twisting their bodies from side to side, looking for the other's flaws, and neither dared to strike first.
Li Mao watched it interestingly and asked Suluk: "Nothing will happen in such a fight?" ”
"As long as one of them wins all their opponents in an open gladiatorial fight, they may win my daughter's heart." Just think about it, and they'll try to win. That's how I took my wife. ”
He pointed to a woman roasting a sheep not far away, "That's my wife, and she's a beauty, right?" ”
Li Mao glanced at it and felt that the woman's appearance could only be regarded as average. But he felt that he was afraid that in the eyes of the world, his wives were the best-looking, so he smiled and nodded in agreement, "Mrs. Zun is very beautiful." ”
husband and children, housework, although the woman looks average, in terms of women's morality, she is by no means inferior to the Han women in the Central Plains. The wife of the Han leader did not have to roast the whole sheep herself.
Li Mao looked at the bearded Suluk, and then at Suluk's wife, and felt that their daughter looked like that, which was already beyond their level, and the Qiang people might like sturdy women, just like their Han people like white-skinned and slender beauties, and his daughter He didn't think it was good-looking, maybe in the eyes of the Karma people, she was indeed a first-class beauty.
He himself is not good-looking, but his son is very handsome, and he has always been very happy. But if someone says to him, "It's good that your son is not like you," he will still be angry.
So in his heart, he was really a bit too much to judge the girl like this.
Li Mao put these thoughts behind him and concentrated on watching the gladiatorial fight.
Suluk was also very happy to see Li Mao praising his wife's beauty, and smiled very happily. Li Mao saw that this person was very interesting, and the boredom in his heart was finally a pastime.
At the side of the fire, the gladiatorial fight between the two teenagers continued. Suluk said that these two teenagers are the most outstanding young men in recent years, and they can also speak Chinese, Li Mao took a closer look, one of the two is strong, the other is thin, the sturdy man is a typical Qianren boy, but the slender man looks like a Han.
"The skinny one is a Han?" Li Mao pointed to the slender one and asked Suluk.
Suluk looked at what Li Mao was pointing at, shook his head and said, "Rummo's father is the Han who taught us Chinese, but my mother is our Qian. His Han name is Lu Mo, and according to our karma algorithm, as long as his mother is a karma, she is a karma. ”
"Are the Han people still here?" If the Han man is still there, maybe he can help him go back to the interrogation.
"Dead. The Han man named Lu Yu said that he was a sinner who had run away and did not dare to return to his hometown, and that he had lung disease and died after seven or eight years of living here. He is good-looking, and knows many things, and the women in our tribe like him, and the child is eighteen this year, and his father has been gone for more than ten years. Suluk sighed.
"How does he speak Chinese?" Li Mao looked at Lu Mo, this young man named Lu Mo was very calm and calm, and his steps were also very flexible. Although his opponent was a sturdy young man, he did not fall behind in the slightest.
I saw him flash in the east and avoid in the west, and the sturdy young man tried to reach out and grab him several times, but he avoided it.
"He grew up speaking Chinese with his father and his mother, and he spoke both fluently."
Li Mao was overjoyed. If this kid can send a letter for him, let the magistrate of the Fenzhou Racecourse stalemate with the racecourse for a while, and then he is looking for someone to report to the Western Army in Liangzhou and seconded the army to come over, maybe the matter will turn around.
The Liangzhou generation used to live with Hu and Han, and there were many Hu and Han mixed blood in the Liangzhou army, so they were not so repulsive to the Hu people. It is definitely not as difficult as going to Fenzhou to let the people go to Liangzhou to report the news.
There is Li Rui's little uncle in Liangzhou, and he has a token entrusted by the emperor when he leaves, which can be used to mobilize a border army to act cheaply. He originally wanted to mobilize the Northern Army, but now it seems that there are ghosts in the Northern Army, so he can only go to the Western Army farther away.
It's just that I don't know if the kid has the wit to deal with the situation, and whether he is willing to send this letter for him.
Li Mao had an idea in his heart, and it looked like the gladiatorial fight was even more relaxed, and he wished that they would quickly divide the victory and defeat, so that he could call the slender Lu Mo over and ask him.
Lu Mo and the sturdy young man wrestling, the onlookers shouted happily, Li Mao saw that Suluk's daughter's face flashed with concern and excitement, one moment worried, the other joyful, and couldn't help but laugh.
It seems that this girl looks cold and arrogant, but in fact her heart is not calm, I am afraid that she has already promised one of these two young men, but she just made that arrogant appearance.
He thought about it and couldn't help but laugh out loud. He had very little contact with women since he was a child, and later made a marriage with the Fang family, which was also a family affair set by his mother. His father was worried that his daughter-in-law would not look down on him, and he tried to let him have all kinds of chance encounters, which was shocking.
But even so, he didn't sing and courtship for a girl like this, let alone fight.
Hu Ren's love affair is really extremely cute.
Suddenly, there was a loud cry from everyone, and Lu Mo and the young man fell down together, Lu Mo flipped over on top of the young man for a while, and was suddenly pressed down by him, and the two rolled around on the ground, only the sound of heavy breathing was heard.
After a few more moments, a slender figure staggered to his feet and walked up to the maiden.
Suluk's daughter had tears in her eyes and shook Lummer's hand.
Li Mao twisted his beard and smiled, it turned out that what she liked was this thin mixed-race boy.
Everyone cheered and shouted around the pair of young boys and girls, and the sturdy young man got up from the ground, and he was also smiling heartily, looking unwilling.
Suluk's daughter looked very touched as she cried and laughed. Li Mao touched his body, but his purse was not lost, so he turned out a few gold bills from it.
He had only gold and no jade on him. Although it is cheesy to send gold, but his mother's gold bills are specially made by his mother, he is a pig, this pair of honest and cute pigs are very cute, and it is not embarrassing to give away.
His mother sent him the money in advance, hoping to bring good luck to this couple.
He stood up, ready for Suluk to help him and deliver gifts to the young man, but he saw several horses appear in the distance on his right, and the men on the horses were dressed in black and looked around.
Today is the full moon, and in the moonlight, the clothes of these people are faintly visible, and the hand crossbow wrapped around their arms is even more conspicuous.
It was the unknown Chu army that pursued him.
Li Mao was taken aback, and hurriedly turned his back and let Suluk's body cover him for him.
"That's Han? What do you do with us at night? ”
Li Mao whispered to Suluk: "These people are the army that is chasing and killing me, and they are afraid that they are worried that I will interfere in the affairs of the horse farm and want to kill people, so they scattered everywhere to search. ”
Suluk watched as the Han people rode towards the camp, and was about to pull out their knives, but was stopped by Li Mao.
"I'll find a place to take refuge first, and you can trick them off the horse before you do it. None of these people can leave, or I and your tribe will be in danger! Li Mao nodded solemnly when he saw Suluk, and pulled out the dagger on his waist again.
"This is for me to defend myself, you can go quickly."
With that, he drilled into the small tent next to him.
In the middle of the rap and singing, the few people arrived near the tent, and they didn't go in, but asked from a distance: "Are there any people who can speak Chinese?" Da Chu officials are on errands, and find someone who can speak. ”
Suluk hurried to the midst of the reveling men and women, and sang a long series of sentences in the dialect, and the boys and girls were stunned for a moment, and then sang in the dialect to cater to them.
Loomer pointed to the fire and sang something, and then the girls laughed out loud, and the men sang along.
The group sang a few times, and the knights were impatient, so they were about to drive their horses into the tent, but they saw a group of maidens rushing over with wine, singing and dancing around them.
The group of knights looked at each other, but they couldn't figure out the situation, and they didn't know whether it was better to dismount and rescue them, or to break them away.
