Chapter 14: Strange People

Since then, Xiaobao and his party have lived a very fulfilling and busy life. In the blink of an eye, I was about to face the promotion exam. What Xiaobao Zhu Lin thinks is naturally the Sword Pavilion, as for Zi Xin, he is also a direct disciple of the Tingqin Pavilion now, which is already a very good achievement for others, but for the sake of the big plans of several people, he naturally has to prepare for the exam to enter the Sword Pavilion. Speaking of which, this is also due to the example of Xiaobao last time, which made this old calendar of women who have not been able to practice martial arts like Sword Pavilion for a hundred years be abolished.

One day, I listened to the direct disciples of the master of the Qin Pavilion* practice the piano, and then ordered the disciples to play the piano. Sima Yi and Zixin are in a group, Helan Youruo and Ouyang Shu are in a group, Lin Rou is in a group with Yang Bin, Situ Lanting is in a group with Su Zimo, and so on. Xiaobao muttered from a distance that this person was really eclectic, a bit of a matchmaker. If this piano does not come from the heart, it cannot reach the realm of resonance. In the past, I also liked to dispel my boredom like this, but now I am not in the mood. This group of sunny teenagers is really as dazzling as the sun of a newborn. I was secretly glad that I was so young and invincible. Watching Sima Yi skillfully plucking the guzheng, his attitude was chic, and the sound of the piano was like a trickle, clear and moving. Then it became a rush of Jin Ge iron horse, cold and whistling, there is a kind of "the north wind swept the ground and the white grass folded, Hu Tian flew snow in August、、、、 general died in a hundred battles、、、 horse leather shroud returned". At this time, Zixin's piano followed, like a black cloud crushing the city and trying to destroy it, and the enemy was ambushed on ten sides. Shi Kuang frowned and listened patiently. Until the end of the song "Journey". Xiaobao secretly laughed and felt that this Zixin was really an ignorant miss, and this song should have different artistic conceptions between men and women to call out the whole story: the husband went out to fight, and the iron horse Bingge, in the cold wind, held the belief of carrying the jade dragon to die for the king, and regarded death as home; And his wife's thoughts lingered and compassionate, turning into flying snow like pear blossoms in the sky, and going to the border, the song should be sad and moving. But with Zixin's hand, it seems that the enemy and us are competing with each other. Xiaobao secretly thought it was funny, and he was thinking about it blindly, but unfortunately he didn't know what Shi Kuang had to say, and he saw that the two of them had unkind faces.

Xiaobao didn't have the heart to listen to other people's plays, so he found a quiet place to relax, holding a copy of "The History of the Nations" that he had just borrowed from the library and reading it. The shadow of the sun swept by, and before I knew it, it was almost noon, and my stomach began to stir. A pair of cyan cloth shoes broke into sight, and when he looked up suddenly, he saw that the person who came was handsome and extraordinary. Xiaobao was lazy and didn't want to salute, so he pretended to be stupid. The man didn't care much either, and joked: I see you've been here for several hours, don't you have a class today? Xiaobao was supposed to practice dancing in Wutian Pavilion, but Xiaobao didn't pay much attention to this, panicked and said that he had a bad stomach and found a gap to walk. Seeing that Shi Kuang asked about this, he hurriedly changed the topic and said with a smile: Am I not also studying. He raised the book in his hand. Shi Kuang looked at the little doll in front of him, and always felt that those eyes hid an aura that did not match his age. He didn't know why he felt so much about this little doll. "Do you like to play the piano" Shi Kuang's voice seemed to be permeated with some kind of melody, which made Xiaobao can't help but feel that this person has really reached the peak of the realm. "So-so, I'm only limited to a superficial taste of the piano." Xiaobao replied curtly. Shi Kuang didn't show surprise, but just let out a very flat sound, and continued: You little doll, it's really refreshing to me. Xiaobao didn't want to spend more time with this person, and his stomach kept screaming, at this time Xiaobao just wanted to pacify the Five Organs Temple quickly. Hurriedly pulled a big smile and said: Thank you Lord Pavilion Master for your false praise, if it's okay, Xiaobao will leave first. Saluted, the teacher was smiling silently, and his long black and handsome hair was pulled by the smoke and wind, which showed that this person was carefree. Liang Jiudao: Have you heard the story of the Requiem, it is said that "Requiem" can save people from reincarnation when it reaches level 10. Xiaobao also deserves to be patient at this time and answer to this person, "This is just a legend, if you can really play this song to reach the highest level and save people's lives, then the player will definitely suffer a backlash and hurt the meridians and intestines of the whole body." If you don't have enough skills, not only will you not be able to save adults, but you will also die. Yes, Lord Pavilion. Shi Kuang was quite surprised when he heard someone say this for the first time. looked at the little girl in front of him again, and saw that he had such insight at a young age, and sighed in his heart. Waving his hand and saying, "Let's go" Xiaobao was amnesty, smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and hurried to the dining hall. Shi Kuang looked at the little doll, and felt inexplicable emotion in his heart.

Xiaobao ran all the way and sighed all the way: This person is really strange. While secretly thinking: This person is really pleasant, very weird, and he didn't accuse himself of being rude and told himself so much. Now it is not only necessary to fulfill his wish for Zhu Lin, but more importantly, to investigate the secrets of Emperor Longzhang.

Hurriedly arrived at the dining hall, Zixin had already received the meal for Xiaobao, and she was disturbedly stirring the rice in the bowl. Xiaobao knew why, looked around, and saw Sima Yi, Ouyang Shu and that Su Zimo sitting around and eating silently, Xiaobao hurriedly greeted him, and that Sima Yidao came over with a light smile. Xiaobao hurried to the point, I saw the piano you just now, and they were actually quite excited. "What's so exciting, don't I usually play like this" Zi Xin was very unimpressed. That Sima Yi just smiled, "In fact, playing the same song, the mood is different, and the artistic conception is also different." A true piano player should be able to do this with ease. "Sima Yi, are you saying that my skills are not skilled enough", at this time, Zi Xin seemed to be angered. I don't mean that, I just hope we can do well with the piano." Xiaobao hurriedly said: Can you change to another tune to the piano, at least it won't hinder each other's hearts. "If only we could change it, we won't be trained." Sima Yi said helplessly. Xiaobao asked suddenly; What kind of person do you think Shi Kuang is? "Hey, can't you talk a little more neatly, where is the special", "Bearing like a fairy", "Where is his family, does he have a family, and 、、、is he married?" "Xiaobao, what do you want to ask, why do you feel weird" Sima Yi felt funny. Xiaobao said with a serious face: Ask what's wrong, are you curious, and can all beautiful people and things attract people. I don't believe that others don't have this heart. Sima Yi is not interested in what she said about others, if someone else else would not ask these things so explicitly, I feel that this Xiaobao is not like asking blindly for curiosity, what is the reason, seeing Xiaobao's face is calm and wide-eyed, he is full of interest. "The pavilion owner has not yet married, he is Korean, and his family background is unknown. The pavilion master is not only superb in martial arts, but also can use the piano as a weapon to kill the enemy invisibly. That's all I know. "This man is truly a masterpiece," Xiao Bao praised. The two people next to them felt strange and didn't know what to answer for a while. Zi Xin said coldly: This time, his question is too tricky. I have probably been with Xiaobao, a guy who is yin and yang for etiquette, and I don't even want to bring a title when talking. Sima Yi looked at the two youthful and unruly faces in front of him, completely speechless, and could only mourn silently in his heart.

For dinner, Xiao Bao pulled Zixin to find Zhu Lin. Zhu Lin was planning to take advantage of the lunch break to practice the sword, and when he heard the sound of the flute, he knew that Xiaobao had an appointment with them, so he came out immediately. Seeing a tall and a short two people hidden in the pine forest, they hurriedly ran over. Xiaobao was a little embarrassed: Zhu Lin, can you call that Lou Cang out, don't we want to investigate the matter of the wrench, we have to ask him something. Seeing that Zhu Lin was hesitant, Xiaobao hurriedly said: The sky will descend on the people, and they must first be moved to forbearance and gain what they cannot. This is the admonition of the sages to us. Sure enough, that Zhu Lin muttered, and immediately went in, and soon Lou Cang, who was about the same size as him, came out one after the other with him, and the two kept a certain distance, and they wanted to break the two ends of the magnet, and there was an invisible repulsive force. Xiaobao hurriedly smiled and said: That's the case, as friends, we want to ask you something. It's not convenient here, or let's go somewhere in the deep pool. Lou Cangjian's eyebrows were slightly raised, but he still followed everyone to the edge of the deep pool. "Do you know about the dragon's blood wrench" Xiaobao didn't want his opening remarks to stutter like this, Lou Cang said with a cold face, "Why are you asking this", "We want to know the beginning and end of the dragon's blood wrench back then" Xiaobao replied with some uncertainty. "I'm sorry, I have nothing to say" Lou Cang didn't give face at all. Zi Xin couldn't hold back, "Hmph, what's the big deal, you need to be so spirited" The corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of disdain. Lou Cang was stunned, but he didn't know how to answer, he didn't know about this matter, and what he knew was all bits and pieces, so he didn't know where to start. I've never been good at words, and I don't like to talk to people. If Xiao Bao had been the same enemy as Zixin before, but now she knows very well that this little boy who loves to pretend to be cool is actually not bad, and it seems that it is better to throw a broad topic directly at him. He smiled and said: How could the dragon blood wrench be in your Jin Kingdom, isn't the legend that it was worn on the hands of the last king of Shang Ye Kingdom. As soon as I finished speaking, I immediately regretted it, I am usually used to being unscrupulous, but this matter is a sensitive event. couldn't help but look at Lou Cang with a little weakness, Lou Cang had never heard anyone ask like this, this matter was a taboo in their family. I'm curious, but I'm just hiding it in my heart. Now I was asked by the person in front of me about it, which is really ridiculous. Liang Jiudao: Actually, I don't know about this matter, when I was a child in the palace, my father didn't let us ask about Emperor Longzhang, and the violators were severely punished.

Xiao Bao's big eyes were slightly dim and muttered: Why. "However, I heard the elders of the court say that the wrench is the most cherished thing of Emperor Longzhang and regards it as more important than life, and my grandfather was his right-hand man during his lifetime. Later, for some reason, Emperor Longzhang suddenly became brutal and unkind, and he went on a killing spree, which led to the rekindling of war among the vassal states that had originally returned to the Shang Ye Dynasty, and the country was in turmoil and the people were struggling to survive. Later、、、、, before Lou Cang finished speaking, Xiaobao said eagerly, "Later, we can imagine." But you haven't told us how the wrench got into your grandfather's hand" Xiaobao saw that Lou Cang was not as angry as he feared, so he was relieved and bold. "This is a secret of our Jin Kingdom, a few of you came here to ask me these rashly, I can also guess the reason." Then he looked at Zhu Lin, "I don't want my father to fall into a stupid name. It doesn't hurt to tell you, that wrench was actually given to my grandfather by Emperor Longzhang, and at that time, Emperor Longzhang suddenly woke up and gave my grandfather a wrench that could mobilize thousands of troops. Then he died. When I was a child, I overheard my father and the old ministers talking. ”

Xiao Bao frowned and pondered: Who is that old minister, and doesn't that Emperor Longzhang have any other last words? It's a strange thing. If a person can suddenly become violent, what exactly happened in between. A generation of Ming monarchs, although everyone said that he was evil, but after reigning for more than ten years, he pacified the chaos between the vassal states. is not inferior to his father at all, and can be said to be an emperor of the ages. How so! Lou Cang said coldly: Why do you bother yourself, this has been more than a hundred years. Even if you know the reason, it will only add to the sadness. Their vicissitudes are beyond our reach. Xiaobao's eyes widened, and he wanted to argue with the little P child in front of him, but after thinking about it, arguing has a P use, and who can tell the past. A serious way: "Although Lou Cang has some truth in what you said, I can't agree with it. This may not be a big deal to us, but if you think about it, if we look back on these pasts in the future, will we feel that our lives are full of regrets? Lou Cang, you have been in the palace all the time before you came here, have you caught crickets, have you ever touched a fish in the water, and have you ever seen bird eggs on a tree? Lou Cang was speechless, thinking carefully that he actually didn't even have a chance to try these ordinary eBay. Xiaobao Lou Cang is getting closer and closer to his goal, so he said sadly: These must be your guess there is no chance, you see that although we are the children of the general, we can ignore the world's views and let our childhood have such an interesting experience. So don't always think about reading books and practicing martial arts, how boring it is. These words seemed to say that Lou Cang's heart went in.

"What do you want me to help with?" Xiaobao heard that it worked, and hurriedly said: I think we have to go to the forbidden place again, the crystal box didn't come to open it last time, I want to go and see. Lou Cang was surprised: The three of you have been to the forbidden land before. "Yes, there's a beautiful world at the bottom of the lake, and there's a big black dragon. By the way, you and Sima Yi are now disciples of the Five Elements Pavilion, I heard Zi Xin say that only after passing the advanced examination of the Sword Pavilion can you enter the Five Elements Pavilion to practice magic, which is really amazing. I think it would be much easier with your help. "Are you saying that Sima Yi has already been to the forbidden land with you once" "No, I just thought so. "When, well, we're going to have to look up the books on how to contain that dragon first. However, the books of the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth are on the top floor of the Library Pavilion, and now our qualifications are not enough, so we can't enter, so we have to ask the two of you. The three of us investigated the history of the Shang Ye Dynasty. Zixin and Zhu Lin were a little worried about Xiaobao revealing the secrets of the three of them like this, and after Lou Cang left, Zi Xin said: Do you think Lou Cang can believe it. Xiaobao smiled brightly and said: My feeling is accurate. Saying that, he jumped up and down and waved his hand at Zhu Lin, and Zi Xin said hatefully behind him: Huan Xiaobao, just by feeling that you are too hasty. Xiaobao retorted: We should be honest with those who can be trusted, so that everyone can work together. Don't worry, I've always been very accurate in seeing people. What Xiaobao said was meaningful, and Zixin was simply speechless.

After dinner, the five of them gathered in the library pavilion. Suddenly, Sima Yi turned back to Xiaobao and Zixin and said, "Didn't you get the Taiping Badge last time?" With this thing, although he was not a disciple of the Five Elements Pavilion, he could enter the top floor of the Library Pavilion. Xiaobao patted Sima Yi and said: Why didn't you say it earlier, now you can come and go freely. After that, he took out the badge with his name engraved on his sleeve, and sighed heartily, I can't imagine that this broken thing still has this purpose.

Suddenly realized something, and turned to Zhu Lin and said: How can there be such a spectacular world at the bottom of the lake in the forbidden land, like what people often went to that place before, let's first go to find out what documents record the most about it during the period when our ancestor established Taihe more than two hundred years ago. Lou Cang and Sima Yi will trouble the two of you to check the books about Lilong. Let's take the sound of the flute as a signal. I'll meet here then.

Xiaobao shuttled through it, as if swimming in a sleeping dream, a kind of tranquility spread in the bottom of his heart, and suddenly the soles of his feet became vain, and he enjoyed the isolation of this tranquility very much. Xiaobao is wandering among the bookshelves, the sunlight is shining obliquely from the carved flower pavilion, and the floating dust in the dim library seems to be particularly active, as if it has not changed for thousands of years, and is still persistently facing the light. Suddenly, his fingers stopped on the black page of the book called "Chuan Yue Note", but he found that the book was resisted and could not be pulled out. used the strength of the milk and gathered momentum, but still fell behind. It turned out to be that Ouyang Shu, and I saw that the person seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and he looked like he didn't care about himself. Xiaobao was a little annoyed in his heart, but in order to prevent Ouyang Shu's conspiracy from succeeding, he had to hold back his anger. Rush forward to say a brief hello, and take advantage of his slack to snatch the book. That Ouyang Shu seemed to have expected her to come with such a hand, and as soon as he turned around, he dodged familiarly. Holding the book in his hand high, with a smug and smug smile on his face, "Why should Brother Ouyang have trouble with a little doll", this voice sounded lazy, as if he had just woken up. Xiao Bao fixed his eyes and saw that the person who came was Wu Zhao. Xiaobao thinks that last time should be regarded as a release of the previous suspicions, and this time it should not add to the blockage of himself. "I saw this book first, and I didn't expect her to pop up. There is always a first come, first come. Listening to the tone, Xiaobao has already concluded that the man is brutal and ruthless, and he will not spit out the meat that reaches his mouth. If it is forcible to take it, I am afraid that I will really have to carry it, so I pretend not to care and say: Then I, a little woman, will let you be a big man. You can read this book by yourself. Deliberately biting small women and big men. Walk away.

That Ouyang Shu knew that he was being tricked, and he was angry. The dignified man was humiliated by such a little doll, snatched it with an arrow, grabbed Xiaobao's arm, was young and frivolous, and was the most impetuous age, and he didn't care about the difference between men and women. Roared: What did you just say, say it again. "How do you want to kill someone" Xiaobao did not show weakness. Wu Zhao put his hands on his chest, looking like he was watching a good show. "You, it's really hard to raise villains and women" "P, I said you're a P worm. No matter how reasonable what those saints say, how can you know that it is absolutely correct if you have not practiced it? Like you, in the future, you can only be a crowd of people, a conformist guy, at most a sour scholar. Or just a simple-minded monster with well-developed limbs. This time, that Ouyang Shu was enraged, his handsome face was already purple and swollen, and the flying palm struck, Xiaobao was not a vegetarian, so he took this palm steadily, but that Ouyang Shu was too strong, and the tiger's mouth was numb. That car is getting ready to go, Xiaobao feels that it is not good, if it is too big, he will definitely eat the board, and in front of the whole Taihe morning training place, he will be criticized by Kuang Zhe, who is full of sap. Xiaobao thought to himself: This is not fun, I don't want to become a tree and just keep doing it. That Ouyang Shu thought that Huan Xiaobao was scared, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. was about to chase, but was stopped by Wu Zhao, only to see that Wu Zhao said idly: Stop chasing, your anger should be gone. There's no good fruit to eat with her. I've suffered at her hands before. Ouyang Shu listened to what his companion said, and his heart was a little more balanced, and then he looked at Wu Zhao in surprise, Wu Zhao's cat eyes didn't seem to fluctuate much, so he believed it and was embarrassed to ask, so as not to arouse the sadness of his companion. secretly swore in his heart that he must make Huan Bao ugly and see what she would be like when she was embarrassed. This desire is like a flame, and it rages wildly on all limbs and bones with lightning speed. I didn't feel a mischievous smile on my lips. That Wu Zhao saw Ouyang Shu's performance, and he was very proud in his heart. Both of them have a common purpose at this time: how pleasing the troublemaker's embarrassment will be. I don't know how many years have passed, but I remember the past. Will they feel that their younger selves are the most innocent!

Here, Zixin and Zhu Lin were holding a few books and reading them in the corner. Xiaobao made sure that Ouyang Shu had stopped, let out a long sigh of relief, and sighed in his heart: It is really impossible for people to look good, and the sea water cannot be measured. That guy seems to be gentle and elegant, but in fact, his personality is strong. I really don't know how lawless it is to be at home. Xiaobao raised his voice slightly and asked, "Have you gained anything?" This library is really big. The two of them seemed to be deeply attracted to something, and this matter was exactly what was outside the fugue. Xiaobao thought that they didn't hear, so he leaned over, and the two of them came over together, with bright eyes. Xiaobao estimated that there must be a major discovery. Sure enough, Zixin was the first to take the lead: I found in several books about longitude and latitude, mountains, and rivers that there were a lot of stories about how the last emperor of the Shang Ye Dynasty once came here, and later built pavilions and pavilions here. From a distance, it looks like a mirage, and it's really beautiful. However, apart from the pavilions and temples we have seen under the lake, we have not even found any traces of piercing. What is going on here, such ingenuity, such a strong and heavenly building will go under the water, it is still the essence of literature, and the carved beams and paintings are the same. Zi Xin gushed endlessly, and said such a big string in one breath, without even hitting a stumble. Zhu Lin on the side also listened attentively, and when he saw Xiaobao passing his eyes to him, he hurriedly took over: Actually, what I want to say is similar to Zixin. Did you notice that? This made Xiaobao a little embarrassed, but he was also embarrassed to tell what he had just done, which made the two of them worried, so they had to agree. Xiaobao touched his chin and said: Can you pick tea around here? These words did not come to the village before and behind the store, which made Zhu Lin confused. Zi Xin thought for a moment and asked, "Are you saying that this may be the place where Emperor Long Yu met Empress Liuguang in the past." Xiaobao nodded silently. That Zhu Lin was even more puzzled, and said: The mountains here are continuous, and that forbidden place can be said to be surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is an absolute treasure of feng shui. I heard the servants privately say that the dean likes to drink the tea made from the tea leaves on the Yao Mountain that night. And listen to the pavilion master too. And Xiyao Mountain is just south of the forbidden land. When Xiaobao heard this, he became interested and hurriedly asked: Have you seen the dean? We've been here for almost three years, and we haven't even seen the shadow of the dean. Could it be that it has been ancient, Zhu Lin knotted his eyebrows when he heard it, and his vague bun face made Xiaobao feel that this young man was really straightforward, isn't it just a matter of words. But everyone has their own personality and their own view of things. Zhu Lin and the two of them are typically not like a first-road person in this regard, and more specifically, He Huan Xiaobao is not a first-way person. Zhu Lin Zhengse said: Don't you know, Lord Dean has been practicing the Five Elements Technique in retreat all along, so many things are handled by Lord Vice President. When will I be able to meet the dean? Xiaobao originally wanted to ask, but it can be seen that the sky outside the window has appeared. Busy "ah", the time is not early, I don't know if they are in a hurry.

Out of the library pavilion, he hurriedly took out the bright moon flute and played the streamer song created by Xiaobao himself. Usually just repeat the blow three times at the beginning. I saw that the two of them appeared on the edge of the deep pool like ghosts, and their expressions were unknown. Xiaobao saw that the speed of the two of them was so amazing, and he admired it from the bottom of his heart. I saw Sima Yi say straight to the point: That Lilong is fierce by nature, and the only way to stop it at present is to wait until it is the weakest. But even so, I was not sure that I would be able to contain him. Then he looked at Lou Cang, and Lou Cang said in a very light tone: I also see it this way, although its spells are greatly reduced every New Year's Moon, but with the Lizhu under its chin, it can still cast powerful spells. Sima Yi then asked, "How did you get to the bottom of the lake last time?" Xiaobao's big eyes lit up, and the bright shadow reflecting the moonlight was particularly smart, "Maybe it's asleep." Turned to Zhu Lin and said: Xiao Zhu is so dangerous, if it hadn't fallen asleep last time, we don't know how many times it died. Zhu Lin felt a sigh in his heart, except that his mother had never called herself so affectionately by a female doll, and his face suddenly turned red, and he was extremely embarrassed. But for no reason, my heart is quite warm. Fortunately, the sky was dyed like ink at this time, and the sporadic brilliance was not enough to reveal the young man's naïve. Xiaobao didn't care, and said with a smile: Actually, that Li Zhu had already been pulled out by our Xiao Zhu Tongmen. Everyone, let's get ready to go. The rest of the people were also excited, but in the boundless darkness, they were so hidden. It's like the wind blowing inadvertently, but everyone feels it. Regarding the use of Lizhu, the two masters said that it is currently unknown, Zixin directly, put his hands on his chest and teased Xiaobao: I'm afraid they don't know either. Xiaobao felt in her heart that this Zixin was really a lovely iceberg lady, cold on the outside and hot on the inside, only when the sun came out and the iceberg melted in the future, she would believe that the cold isolation was just a habit, and the feeling of living in her heart in spring was the most vigorous.
