Chapter Fifty-Six: A Chance Encounter with a Cliff
Seeing the Ten Books for the first time, Xu You couldn't help but be stunned for a moment!
It's not that she is so beautiful that she can be so amazing that Xu You loses her mind, on the contrary, Shishu's appearance is very ordinary, so ordinary that she can almost ignore her gender, walking on the road, even the famous stinky hooligan Teddy in later generations will not notice the existence of this person!
Since his rebirth to this era, Xu You has seen too many beautiful girls. Not to mention Yuan Qingqi, Zhan Wenjun, these noble people, not to mention Song Shenfei and Lu Shuang, who are singers who serve people with talents, are their own autumn equinox, Guo's hundred paintings, thousands of qins, ten thousand chess, as well as Yuan's Shui Xi and Shui Yi, these lowly maids are also rare and beautiful.
Of course, it doesn't mean that all women in the world are so beautiful, not to mention that Xu You has a unique quality that attracts beautiful women, and he can attract Yingying Yanyan wherever he goes.
The reason is nothing more than what he has come into contact with since his rebirth, whether it is the Xu family, the Yuan family, the Zhan family or the Guo family, they are all powerful families above ordinary people, rich and powerful, and the secular habits at that time are the most important style and color, and it is reasonable for the maids in the house to choose beautiful people.
Therefore, when Xu You saw such a bland Ten Books in the mansion for the first time, it was like finding a husky in a group of Labradors, which seemed so out of place.
Shishu was dressed in plain cotton clothes, much thicker than everyone else, sitting cross-legged on the futon, with a table full of various account books in front of him, his face was a little haggard, as if he was suffering from the cold, he covered his mouth with his hands, coughed lightly twice, and saw that Xu You did not get up, he was very rude, and said, "Is there something wrong with Xu Langjun?" ”
Xu You didn't think it was a pestle, arched his hand, and said: "Mrs. Fang Cai is in a hurry, I forgot to ask where Baihua went, I don't know if Xiao Niang can tell me?" ”
"Hundred paintings?"
Shishu looked at Xu You and said, "She was confined in the room by her wife, I'm afraid she won't be able to come out for more than ten days, if Lang Jun has something to say, I can tell you on my behalf." ”
Xu You frowned and said, "This is strange, Baihua was fine yesterday, why was he grounded today?" ”
Shishu shook his head, coughed again, his eyes were even more tired, and said: "I don't know the specific reason, if Lang Jun has a heart, it is not too late to inquire after Mrs. comes back." ”
Xu You heard the meaning of sending off the guest in her words, smiled, and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I won't bother much." ”
"Don't send it!"
Seeing Xu You leave, the ten books put their hands on their cheeks, pondered for a moment, and pulled out one from the messy account book seemingly at random, the cover page has been yellowed, and it can be seen that there are many names densely recorded inside, and each person has written his origin and background comments in extremely short words under his name, etc., some are less, maybe a few words, some are more, and they can be half a page long.
Turning to the end, I liked the new blank page, and Shishu wrote two words at the top of the page:
Xu You!
Everything else, all left blank!
When I returned to my residence, I came to invite Xu You on the autumn equinox and said, "Xiaolang, Sister Shuang wants to come out for a walk......
Although it is necessary to avoid the wind, it is also necessary not to be stuffy in the house for a long time, and breathing fresh air in a timely manner will actually help the recovery of the condition.
Xu You nodded and said, "Go and help her out!" Wind Tiger, move the Hu bed! ”
Lu Shuang's face was much ruddy, and the old covenant floated between his eyebrows and eyes again, and he bowed to Xu You's chin, and sat on the Hu bed that Zuo Yan had moved, looking up and feeling the warm winter day, and was a little intoxicated for a while.
Xu You stood aside, smelling the good smell coming from the frost, and said, "Do you feel better?" ”
"Well, after going up the mountain, the medicine used by Guo Fu is much purer than that outside. Last night, the Zhan family girl also specially ordered someone to send one or two ginseng to make a guide, and when she woke up this morning, she felt more transparent. ”
"Hu Shen?"
"Ah......" Autumn Equinox's face changed, and he said hurriedly: "Don't Xiaolang know?" But the person who sent it said that with your consent, I went to the kitchen to boil it for my sister......"
After all, she grew up in a wealthy family like the Xu family, and she remembered the rules, if she didn't have Xu You's permission, she would have received such a big gift for nothing, and she didn't know how much trouble she would have caused.
Xu You flicked her forehead and said with a smile: "What's the panic, Mrs. Guo informed me, but I just forgot it for a while." Since it's getting better, I'll ask for some more tomorrow......"
Zhan Wenjun is a good person, Hu Shen is a good thing to hang his life, no matter at any time, she sent it over without a sound, and her heart is really atmospheric.
"Don't, I'm not seriously ill, and I'm much better, Lang Jun doesn't have to beg for me." Frost turned his head and looked at Xu You's eyes full of emotion. She knew that she had a humble status, and if she could get Zhan Wenjun to send one or two cucumbers, it was already for Xu You's sake, where would she let him beg for her own sake again?
Xu You smiled, didn't say much, saw that the sky was bright today, and said, "Everyone has been bored for a few days, go wake up their wings, let's walk around." It's been two or three days since I went up the mountain, but I haven't seen the handsome scenery in the mountain yet. ”
He Wei is not used to getting up early, but he is used to staying up late, and when he was pulled up from bed by Zuo Yan, he held his stomach and said to Xu You: "Aren't you going to be a beautiful woman, why did you come back so early?" Could it be that he didn't speculate and was kicked out? ”
Xu You said angrily: "You, a fake monk, have been a monk for ten years, and you haven't learned any health care at all. What time has it been, and you are still asleep? Don't you know that going to bed early and getting up early will prolong your life, I think, I have to set a schedule for you in the future! ”
He Wei sneered and said, "If you don't learn, you can't do it!" Who told you that Buddhism renews health? Haven't you heard Zhu Daorong's words, 'Buddhism is an image, containing Hong and quiet, lingering, and silent'. The existence of the skin is meaningless, even if you can live to be 100 years old, you can't escape death. ”
Xu You was speechless and said: "Aren't you very annoyed by Zhu Daorong, why do you use his words to make annotations?" ”
He Wei said: "It's true that I annoy him, but as long as it can be beneficial to me, don't say a few words from him, what if you call him a monk?" I have nothing to lose! ”
Xu You stretched out his finger, pointed at him and smiled: "You, not only have sharp teeth and sharp mouth, but also are extremely shameless!" ”
"It's not shameless...... He Wei smiled and said: "Zhu Daorong is the suzerain of Ben Wuzong, Ben Wuzong is the head of the six families and seven sects of Shamen, and now he is the black-clothed prime minister of An Zidao, and his power is all over the world. ”
Xu You naturally knows the statement of the six families and seven sects, but history has changed, but he didn't expect that the sect master of this life is Zhu Daorong, and has entered the palace and has become an important think tank of An Zidao.
If the Bodhisattva Buddha Buddha Buddha is aware of this, I am afraid that he will jump out of the grave in anger!
Xu You stretched the sleeves of his robe, squinted his eyes and said, "Since you don't even want a skin, I'm afraid you're not interested in the scenery outside the skin...... I'll go to the mountains later, you go back to sleep! ”
"Touring the mountains? I'm interested! ”
He Wei looked at Xu You's face and said proudly: "Tan Qian said that he is pure and comfortable. Traveling to the mountains can get a pure heart, I have to go! ”
The status of the famous monk Tan Qian at this time is similar to those who have the right to speak in later generations, and any sentence can be passed down to the world and become a famous quote quoted by everyone.
Xu You laughed: "You, right and wrong, all kinds of reasons are between your tongue!" ”
Mingyu Mountain is indeed as rumored to say, strange flowers and plants, green mountains and mountains, there is no place that is not a pleasant and beautiful place. Xu You and his entourage also had no purpose, doing as they pleased, slowly walking along the trail, sometimes up, sometimes down, sometimes turning, sometimes meandering, and the wonders of the mountains were unobstructed.
Frost was tied with a cloth and carried behind him. She is as light as a swallow, and she has not become a burden, and she grew up in Wu Land, and knows many unique animals and plants here. Moreover, Wu Nong's soft language and clear sound are around the ears, which is a unique enjoyment.
When he reached the west side of the mountain, he suddenly heard the deafening sound of water, and the autumn equinox was curious, so he went forward first, turned a corner, and shouted violently.
Xu You and the others were afraid that she would lose, so they hurried over, and saw that the autumn equinox was pointing ahead, and turned around and shouted in surprise: "Xiaolang, look, there is a waterfall here!" ”
Xu You stopped and looked at the huge white Lian in the distance that seemed to be pouring out of the Milky Way, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
The sound is like thunder, surging and surging, turbulent churning, and pearls splashing!
It's no wonder that when Baihua first entered the mountain, he invited himself to watch the waterfall here, which is really spectacular!
"I didn't expect there to be such a place in the mountains."
He Wei was very interested, and said to the autumn equinox: "Do you have the courage to go to the edge of the cliff to see?" ”
Autumn Equinox was about to nod excitedly, but turned to look at Xu You. Xu You smiled: "Go ahead, but be careful." Then he gestured to He Wei with his eyes, meaning to let the autumn equinox take care of him a little, so as not to stumble and fall under the cliff.
No matter how amazing and brilliant he is, He Wei is an ordinary person after all!
He Wei went first, picked up the corner of his clothes and walked to the edge of the cliff, poked his head to look down, and it was more than 100 zhang high. The clear water below is bottomless, giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression.
The autumn equinox came to his side, and was swept away by the water vapor that filled the sky, Rao is she learned the strength of the white tiger, and still felt a biting chill penetrate deep into the bone marrow, and then looked at He Wei, but his face was indifferent, as if nothing happened.
Autumn Equinox felt strange in his heart, but he didn't say anything, he looked down like him, and suddenly felt dizzy, and with a bang, he hurriedly took two steps back.
He Wei turned around, smiled gently, and said, "Don't be afraid! ”
Autumn Equinox was infected by his smile, calmed down, and said, "He Langjun, aren't you afraid?" ”
"No matter how high the mountain is, it's a dead thing, so there's nothing to be afraid of." He Wei said softly: "As long as no one pushes you behind you, standing on the edge of the cliff is actually safe!" ”
The autumn equinox seems to understand whether he understands it or not, and he has the courage to take another look, but his feet are like sticky, and he can't move a single inch no matter what.
Xu You's laughter came from behind him, and the autumn equinox was slightly red, and said, "The maid is useless, the guts are too small......"
"It's not that it's useless, it's that you're afraid of heights...... Well, fear of heights is fear of heights, it's an innate instinct and has nothing to do with boldness. ”
Xu You stepped forward, stood side by side with He Wei, took a deep breath, pointed to the cliff waterfall, and said with a smile: "Is there such a majestic beauty in the north?" ”
"Well frogs can't speak to the sea!"
He Wei sneered: "Don't talk about the scenery of the landscape, just talk about the Yongning Temple, the nine-story floating slaughter in the light temple, it is more than 90 zhang high, go to Beijing for a hundred miles, it can still be seen, that is the real magnificence, breathtaking......"
"Huh? Ninety feet high? Don't go to heaven? ”
Hearing the surprise of the autumn equinox, the frost that came from the back heel asked Zuo Yan to let her down, and continued: "Buddhism seeks the supreme magic method, naturally it is higher than all living beings, the closer to the sky, but the better!" ”
He Wei's gaze swirled on his face, and he suddenly said, "Has the girl read the Buddhist scriptures?" ”
The frost was inconvenient, so he had to bow slightly, as a courtesy, and said, "Don't dare, just turn it over a few times." ”
He Wei stared at her again for a moment, then looked back at the waterfall again, and said, "It's a pity, you have a bit of wisdom......
The frost was unknown, and the big watery eyes looked at Xu You. Xu You shook his head at her slightly, and was about to speak, but Zuo Yan walked to the edge of the cliff on the other side at some point, with a solemn expression, and said, "Lang Jun, you come here!" ”
Xu You didn't know what he had found, so he walked over and looked down at his hand, his eyes suddenly converged.
On the side of the waterfall where they stood, the cliff was covered with thick moss, but on some of the raised rocks, it was very smooth, as if something had been walked over often.
But the cliff is vertical, and the perennial water vapor invades, smooth like a copper mirror, it is impossible for animals to climb up and down.
Xu You and Zuo Yan looked at each other, and thought of a possibility in their hearts at the same time!
He Wei also looked solemn and said, "Wind Tiger, with your skills, can you walk back and forth on this cliff?" ”
Zuo Yan shook his head and said, "If the place is bigger, you can recover your breath and rest, and it can't be so smooth, you can still try it." But here, I'm not sure. No, it's absolutely impossible! ”
At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed behind the waterfall, quickly leaving behind an illusion similar to an afterimage, and then jumped up and landed on the bottom of a smooth rock, a little on tiptoe, not listening to the sound of exhalation, jumping to another rock like a leisurely stroll, and so on, and swaying straight up.
In the blink of an eye, he has tossed and turned, rising more than 30 feet, and his skills are terrifying. Xu You didn't know whether he was friend or foe, and this person's behavior was really strange, so he immediately made a decision and said, "Retreat!" ”
Zuo Yan was in the forefront, and the autumn equinox hugged the slender waist of the frost with one hand, easily hugged it in his arms, and followed Xu You and He Wei to retreat inside. Before he could walk away more than ten steps, the man had already turned over the cliff and stood still.
Xu You and the others knew that they couldn't get out in time, so they all stood still. However, the sword in Zuo Yan's hand was slightly raised, and he made a defensive posture.
The man had white hair, he should be sixty years old, but his complexion was very ruddy, like a young man, and the clothes on his body were exquisitely made, very luxurious, and with Xu You's previous status, I am afraid that there were few such extravagant clothes.
His eyes were introverted, calm and profound, looking at Xu You and the others, and said, "Today's lunch was sent by you?" What about the old slave who was in charge of this? ”
