The hard work of the lottery continues. It's the third day since the post was posted. Master Shu sent someone to give the gift twice, saying that the manuscript was about to be closed, and his house was full of baskets filled with paper, and even the mourning hall was occupied.

Zhu Pingjin ignored Shu Lao'er's call. Zhu Pingjin is the big wrongdoer in this matter, and Shu Laoer is famous and makes money. How can there be a good thing in the world to sit and collect money? It is estimated that in the past few days, all kinds of people who have inquired about the news in the name of mourning have blocked the alley outside Shu Lao'er's door. They will not come empty-handed when they come to mourn, and they will always bring a pound of pork and two handfuls of noodles. Zhu Pingjin smiled when he thought of this.

Shizifu was busy working until the treetops on the moon, and the palace people with backache heard Shizi shouting "stop", and they were relieved. They collected the leftover manuscripts and continued to send them to Master Shu's house, and according to the instructions of the prince, they went out of the house overnight to find the two authors and bring them into the palace.

One of the visitors who arrived first was dressed as a Taoist priest, of medium age, with a white face and no beard, and was polite. After the audit, he first introduced himself according to Cao Sanbao's arrangement. His real name is Hou Dong, his self-name is Hou Sanfeng, and his road name is Yuding. Xindu County, his father is a county student. The thief Chongzhen entered Sichuan for ten years and burned the new capital, except for his whole family. After the catastrophe, the clansmen looked at him stupidly, so they helped sell the remaining land and entrusted it to a passing Taoist priest as an apprentice. He first built a fortune palace in Qingcheng Mountain to alchemy, perhaps because of the peep into the heavens, he was punished by heaven, and the master went to the immortal last year, so he went to the Qingyang Palace in CD Mansion to continue to seek immortals.

"That Jianfu Palace was originally a famous view of Xianshan, why did you transfer from Jianfu Palace to Qingyang Palace?"

"Master alchemy, has reached a great accomplishment. The sun is rising, as evidence. The Taoist priest replied very seriously: "Poor Dao has followed the master to learn the Tao for several years, and has obtained the true transmission of the Wai Dan refining. However, after the master ascended, the senior brothers and disciples ......, so the poor road left Jianfu Palace and came to Qingyang Palace. ”

"What have you and your senior brothers done?"

"They dislike the poor Dao refining Dan is not good, and they can't dedicate it to the palace."

"Which palace?"

"Fushun Palace, every year when Jianfu Palace is built, it must be refined into nine golden pills to be offered."

"Why do they say that the quality of the Dan you refined is not good?"

"Dansha is the first in alchemy." Taoist priest Lang Lang said, "However, the master once said that everything has a way, and you must not go against the way of heaven with human desires. Excessive dansha, although the pill is ruddy and shiny, it is very easy to make the person who takes it evil and dizzy. Therefore, the poor road is not for it. ”

"This sentence 'and be brave enough to chase the poor', but you wrote it yourself?" Zhu Pingjin sat on the throne and asked very seriously.

"Exactly, the poor Dao will never dare to deceive the world."

"That's a good connection." Zhu Pingjin praised the Taoist priest, "This son asks casually, Master Ru is soaring in the daytime, have you ever seen it with your own eyes?" Do you see a big silver-white bird, carrying Master Ru, roaring into the sky? Or a large dragonfly with huge wings spinning up on its back? ”

The Taoist priest was extremely stunned: "The trail is not blessed, and I have never seen it when I went down the mountain to buy that day." The brothers and sisters all said that the master was angry and left, but one of the brothers said that it was a crane that drove the master to the west. How did the prince know that it was a big silver bird, or a dragonfly, and not a crane? ”

"It's just speculation." Zhu Pingjin thought, the answer is wrong, and ten points will be deducted. No, one vote no.

"Since Mr. has been learning since he was a child, why don't he still do his job?"

The student naturally thought so, "I am no longer called poor, but I have become a student," but the career is long, and the student is shy and ......

"Not fundamentalists." Zhu Pingjin thought again.

"Since Sir has refined the golden pill, why do you need to ask for that worldly fame? For three hundred years, my Shu Wangfu has had a fate with seeking immortals and seeking Danduo. Zhu Pingjin pondered for a moment and said, "If Mr. can let go of vulgar thoughts and devote himself to alchemy, this son is willing to help Mr., find the depths of the clouds, sit in the palace, and then pick up some boys, and specialize in gold, stone, water and fire, okay?" ……”

Since the dedication of King Zhu Chun, there is a legend in Shu that the palace has the secret refining method of gold and silver, so it is rich in the world. This is a great thing for the unsuccessful people in the alchemy world, Yuding Daoren, who can't ask for it, so Yuding Daoist happily performed the first salute, and Shi Shiran waved his hands and feet and went out.

The second contributor was late. Zhu Pingjin summoned an immediate audience, but it was Li Sixian, a little eunuch, who rolled into the palace gate first.

I saw that the minion's hat flew away, his belt was scattered, his cloak was scattered, and his face was covered with blood. As soon as he saw Zhu Pingjian, he howled loudly first.

"But the thief has returned to the CD?" Zhu Pingjin stood up suddenly, "Speak, speak quickly!" ”

"It's not a thief," no matter how stupid the little eunuch was, he knew that his embarrassed image had led the master to misunderstand, "The slave went to ask for someone, and as a result, he was beaten." Li Sixian howled again.

It's not like Butcher Zhang came back. Zhu Pingjin dropped the boulder in his heart, returned to the throne and sat down, "Why are you so embarrassed?" ”

It turned out that Li Sixian took a few guards to invite the contributors, because it was late at night, Li Sixian was afraid that he would miss the master's time, so he asked a guard to ride a horse to call the door first, and he arrived later. As a result, when Li Sixian arrived, the courtyard was already scratched. Li Sixian rushed into the courtyard gate, and before he could speak, he was grabbed by a woman inside, and he was beaten violently.

"The woman was especially fierce. The wounds on the slave's face were all inflicted by the woman. Master, look at this opening," the little eunuch howled dryly, and at the same time brushed away his messy hair, revealing half of his bloody face, "Master, you see, it was the tigress who dug it with her fingernails, and there were four bloody paths in a row, from the nose to the neck. Master, the slave and maid have already tied up the dominatrix and asked the prince to be the master of the slave and maid. ”

"Confused! This son wants you to bring back the person who submitted the manuscript, not a tigress or a dominatrix. ”

"That tigress is the one who submitted it." Li Sixian hurriedly explained.

"Oh?" Zhu Pingjin involuntarily touched his face and neck, and a familiar feeling welled up in his heart. You have to find out the reason for the beating first, Zhu Pingjin thought about it, otherwise there might be chaos.

"Where is the guard who knocked on the door first? Ask me! ”

"The last general CD left guard deputy Qianhu, Chong Yi Wei master of ceremonies Song Zhenzong, has seen the son. After Gonggong Li passed the order, the last general was ordered to enter the house first, and then pulled with others, if the prince wanted to blame, the last general would bear it all and not do the business of Gonggong Li. "The kneeling guard was dressed in half-worn armor, young, but tall, loud, and responsible. The Honor Guard Division is an empty shelf with officials and no soldiers, and the honor guards are generally drawn from the CD left guard, the only directly governed army in the Shu Palace, about two or three hundred people, who usually enter the city on duty and go out to raise the flag as a guard of honor.

"You tell me the reason for the pull." Strange thing, there will be a fight when you come to the door. There is no love without a reason in this world, and there is no hate without a reason.

"Yes. The last general dismounted and first called the door of the family, and then asked if so-and-so was at home. It said that the last general asked that so-and-so to follow the general to the palace quickly, and then the family began to scold the last general......"

"Do you call the door with your hands or feet?" Zhu Pingjin interrupted the guard.

"The last general has also read a few books, and he also knows etiquette, righteousness and shame!" The guard blushed and protested in a stiff voice, "The last general made it clear to the family that it was the palace that asked her to talk about it." ”

"You don't have any scars on your body," Zhu Pingjin asked, "didn't that family do anything to you?" ”

"Naturally, it moved. The last general was the first to go in and was beaten the most. But the last will be people who have practiced martial arts since childhood, and they can't beat me. The guard then added, "The last general didn't fight back. ”

"Why don't you fight back?"

"I don't hit women."

"This is a matter that the Son of the World already understands." Zhu Pingjin said, "You didn't know that so-and-so was a woman at the time, and you didn't mention the fact that Ben Shizi offered a reward for continuing the poem." In the middle of the night, let a woman come to the palace, what do you want that woman and her family to think? ”

"Gonggong Li didn't tell us about the prince offering a reward for the continuation of the poem, and we stood guard every day, so we didn't know anything." The guard was still unconvinced, and turned his head to look at Li Sixian.

Li Sixian, the little eunuch, is not stupid, he already knows where he went wrong, and his head is lowered on the floor tiles.

"Alright, let's invite the girl in. Remember yes please! Zhu Pingjin sighed.

When Luo Yuhong crossed the high threshold of the main hall, it was like stepping into a ghost gate. A big-faced boy of about his own age, who he didn't recognize, was sitting on a tall chair in the center of the hall, staring at him with a pair of ghostly eyes. Luo Yuhong complained to herself again in her heart, she had a good time these days, and after listening to her younger brother who came back from school told the story of the reward for continuing the poem, why couldn't she hold it when she heard it. "Mengzhen is not afraid of difficult expeditions, thousands of rivers and mountains are just waiting for leisure." Was it changed from Mao's poems? At the Spring Festival Gala of several units that year, Luo Yuhong and Zhu Pingjin were in the chorus together, and the two sang this song at that time, and the two also held hands after that. Luo Yuhong suddenly realized that this was a joint code issued by Zhu Pingjian, so he immediately filled in a "The most beautiful mountain is a thousand miles of snow, and the three armies will be happy after the end." "Let my brother go to the Huangcheng Dam to vote. The little kid still refused to go, saying that the law was wrong, and shook his head and argued with himself for a long time. But the boy sitting above him has no shadow of his husband at all, if it is really the prince of Shu, who beat the palace people just now, will he pull it out and cut off his head? Does it hurt to cut off a head? Won't it look miserable? Luo Yuhong trembled in her heart. No, since I'm here, I have to try it and figure it all out, Luo Yuhong clenched her fists.

Zhu Pingjin was observing the visitors and thinking about it at the same time. The person who came looked ordinary, but he was very tall, anyway, he must be a little taller than himself, maybe the girl developed earlier than the boy, and he clenched his fists and raised his eyes to look at himself. The key is to say something in your next joint codeword, and you must not cause misunderstanding between the other party and the palace people...... After 0.01 seconds, Zhu Pingjin finally remembered one of the most well-known incisions:

"Heavenly King Covers the Tiger!" Zhu Pingjin asked.

"Admitted to 985!" Luo Yuhong replied with lightning speed. Except for Zhu Pingjin, no one knows what she said.

"The answer is wrong!" Zhu Pingjin roared first, "Come on, pull it out and kill ...... Can't be killed! ”

"Pagoda Town River Demon!" Luo Yuhong asked loudly without showing weakness.

"All into the second one!" Zhu Pingjin replied and asked again:

"Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron!"

"Carbon, nitrogen, oxyfluorone!"

"Core Values!"

"The old lady doesn't know!"

In an instant, it's all over.

"Leave it all to this son!" Zhu Pingjin ignored Luo Yuhong's changing face and bright eyes, and ignored the confusion of the eunuchs to probe their brains, waved the back of his two hands forward, and said sharply: "Close the door of the palace, this son wants to discuss poetry with this girl." Thirty steps away from the main hall! Cao Companion accompanies you to stare at it, and if you dare to approach the eavesdropper, you will immediately take it down and beat it to death! ”

Cao Sanbao had just heard the news of his godson's beating and hurried over, and before he knew what was going on, he heard a series of urgent shouts from the prince, so anxious that he even changed his voice, and hurriedly responded. He waited for everyone to retreat, closed the door of the palace with his own hands, urged the palace people to leave quickly, and circled around the hall twice, making sure that no one was really nearby, and then called the two godsons to give careful instructions, and stood far away outside the palace gate with floating dust and stood guard.

The main hall is very high, very quiet, and you can't hear a sound. Up and down are carved beams and painted pillars all around, and the candles shine high; The caisson is coiled with a golden dragon and a jewel. On the sandalwood throne sat a young man in a gorgeous robe and a golden crown, without saying a word. Luo Yuhong felt that the air around her was so unfamiliar, her breathing was so stagnant, everything didn't seem real, and her tears suddenly poured out uncontrollably.
