"The green sword cooks wine and fights Feipeng, and the ghosts and gods are punished in the mountains of Zhongnan. Drink and sing the feast of the Emperor of Heaven, and fly and dominate. ”

Cheng Chubi looked at the verse, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, this person is crazy enough, even more crazy than me, looking at that person's name, I can't help but be surprised!

Zhong Kui!

The author of this poem turned out to be Zhong Kui!

"No, he may be called Jin Zhongkui, or Zhong Jiushou, not necessarily Zhong Kui." Cheng Chubi shook his head and said, "How can it be Zhong Kui?" It's definitely not Zhong Kui's. ”

"Horse, he said that he is a person from Zhongnan Mountain, surnamed Zhong Mingkui, and the word is south." The maid said.

"Isn't he ugly?"

"He's not very ugly, he's very ugly, like a demon."

"Looks like it's really him." Cheng Chubi was secretly surprised in his heart, could it really be Zhong Kui? The legendary ghost hunter Zhong Kui? What is he doing here? Are you here to get me?

"No, no, it must be wrong, you must have heard it wrong, he must not be Zhong Kui, he must not be Zhong Kui." Cheng Chubi sat on the chair with a look of surprise on his face.

"No, no, isn't Zhong Kui from the Tang Xuanzong period? Did he cross over too? Cheng Chubi's brows furrowed even tighter.

"Don't you see him, don't you see him, if you don't want to see him, then I'll send him away." The maid asked in a low voice.

"Zhong Kui Zhong Kui, legend has it that this Zhong Kui is a Jinshi in the early Tang Dynasty, both civil and military, and he was originally able to win the champion, but because of his ugly appearance and the operation of the prince's group, the emperor directly dismissed his ranking, Zhong Kui was angry, and he died on the pillar of the Jinluan Palace, so as to die Mingzhi." Cheng Chubi remembered the record of Zhong Kui in later generations, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened, could it be that this Zhong Kui knew that he was from a later generation, so he came to catch him?

No, I'm a human now, not a ghost, and his duty is to catch ghosts, not kill people, so he shouldn't have come to catch me.

"Then invite him in." Cheng Chubi said.

"Are you sure, colt?" The maid asked.

"Where are the words? Quickly invite him in. Cheng Chubi said.

"Yes!"

The maid answered, and quickly walked out, and soon led in a man who looked like a scholar. With a green cloth robe, an iron sword at his waist, a burly figure, a leopard head with ringed eyes, and an iron beard, but the appearance is as ugly as it is, no wonder the emperor refuses to let him be the champion.

In many dynasties, being an official not only wants your talent, but also your appearance, and there is a saying in Confucianism, which is called "being born from the heart", so if you look ugly, many times people will think that your heart is also ugly.

That's how judging people by their appearance came about.

"What a strange man!" Cheng Chubi stood up, laughed and said, "Are you really a person from Zhongnan Mountain?" ”

"Exactly!" Zhong Kui said.

"There is also a sister in the family, named Zhong Li, nicknamed Jiao Niang?" Cheng Chubi asked.

"Where did you know about the pony?" Zhong Kui couldn't help but be surprised.

"Do you have a friend surnamed Du Mingpingxi?" Cheng Chubi asked again.

"Where did the colt know?" This time, Zhong Kui was even more surprised.

"I ......" Cheng Chubi almost said, where else can I know? That's what I know from TV! Don't you know how famous you will be? Cheng Chubi couldn't help but be secretly frightened, but he didn't expect that it was really Zhong Kui. Could it be that Zhong Kui really died during the Tang Taizong period? For the sake of his own reputation, Li Er pushed this matter onto his father?

Cheng Chubi feels that with Li Er's urine, Li Er has really done such a thing, since Li Er came to power, he has constantly smeared his father, his mother, his brother and brother, and the most interesting thing is to write that his brother Yuanji was too ugly when he was born, and his mother actually ordered someone to take Yuanji to throw it away. Such a smear can be done, and Cheng Chubi really convinced Li Er.

The newborn baby is like a skinned little monkey, with red and wrinkled skin, not the ugliest, only uglier, Queen Dou, who has given birth to several children, doesn't know this truth?

"Pony, what are you?" Zhong Kui's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and said, "Could it be that the concubine was frightened by this ugly appearance?" ”

"You let me be quiet first, I want to be quiet." Cheng Chubi couldn't help but say, his voice trembled, it seems that Zhong Kui should not be dead yet, at least what Cheng Chubi saw was alive.

"Pony, who is this Jingjing?" The maid couldn't help asking, there is no such person in the house.

"Don't talk, get a chair for Jeongnam." Cheng Chubi glared at the maid and said, and at this time, the maids in the mansion all heard that an ugly man had come to the house, and they couldn't help but want to come to the hall, poking their heads out and whispering one by one.

"This man is really ugly, the horse sits with him, and the horse is as beautiful as a flower."

"Could it be that this man is the legendary evil ghost Rakshasa? I heard that there is a Rakshasa country to the north of the Tang Dynasty, and the people in the country are quite ugly. ”

"I look like I'm from the country of wandering ghosts."

“……”

Zhong Kui heard the words of those maids, but he sat upright, not caring at all, or he didn't care what others thought of his appearance at all.

After a long time, Cheng Chubi opened his mouth and said, "Zhengnan, you came to Beijing to take the exam this time?" ”

"Exactly!"

"You are indeed very talented, but you should understand that nowadays people like to judge people by their appearance, and you are only afraid of difficulties when you look like this!" Cheng Chubi couldn't help but say.

Hearing Cheng Chubi's words, Zhong Kui's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and said, "Could it be that the horse also judges people by their appearance?" ”

"Me? My appearance is like a floating cloud to me, and the pink is also a skeleton. Cheng Chubi pretended to be esoteric and said: "Although my mother-in-law is ugly, she is virtuous and virtuous, although Yan Ying is ugly, she governs the country well, and although she is ugly, she is brave and crowns the three armies." In this world, talent is hidden in the chest, not in the face, if the person with a good face is really talented, those ministers in the court, which one can be compared with the woman in the Qinglou restaurant. ”

"However, not all the ministers of the Tang Dynasty think like this, your appearance is different from ordinary people, you will inevitably be discriminated against, even if you win the top three, it is estimated that you will fall to the ground because of your appearance." Cheng Chubi said, what he said was indeed what happened to Zhong Kui.

"Your Majesty is a saint today, shouldn't it be?" Zhong Kui's brows furrowed slightly.

"Have you taken refuge in Wei Wangtai?"

"Never."

"Can you take refuge in the prince?"

"Never."

"What about the five surnames and seven wangs?"

"Donkey, are you insulting Zhong? Although Zhong is ugly, his heart is upright. Zhong Kui couldn't help but say angrily.

"That's right, every time you are on the imperial examination list, it is either Wei Wangtai's people, or the prince's people, and the rest are those who have entered the five surnames and seven hopes, what ability do you have to fight with them?" Cheng Chubi smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty is certainly holy, but there are some things that Your Majesty can't do if you want to." ”

Listening to Cheng Chubi's words, Zhong Kui's brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

After checking Zhong Kui, some said it was during the Tang Wude period, some said it was during the Zhenguan period, and some said it was during the Tang Xuanzong period, after thinking about it, let him be in the Tang Zhenguan period.
