Chapter 18: Hidden Secrets

The guards were very nervous, they were all knives out of their sheaths, Ouyang Xuan waved the guards away, and let them do what they should do. "It's ugly, let the girl smile", Ouyang Xuan said unhurriedly. A moment later, in the bushes at the bottom of the hillside, a little girl in a yellow dress came up, holding the little girl's double bun, and draping her hair behind her, with a yellow rope tied to the bun, hanging down on both sides. Goose egg face, small nose, willow leaf curved eyebrows, big eyes and double eyelids are blazing, smiling and walking up, there are two shallow dimples on both sides of the face, and the little tiger teeth are very exquisite. Ouyang Xuan knew this little girl, and arched his hand to her and said, "I never thought that I could see a girl thousands of miles away, I don't know if Ling Zun is in good health?" Come and sit down".

The guards added a desk next to Sima Xiangru in time, which was very close to the stove and very warm, and tea was readily available. The little girl came to the tent and bowed down, "The people's daughter Gongliang Shihui has seen Engong." "Haha, the word grace has passed, it's all Qihuang Xiaoshu, don't worry, since it's an opportunity, please take a seat. How is Ling Zun's body? ”。“ Xie Hu is worried, his father's health has long been fine, and he wanted to go to the house to thank him, but he was concerned about family affairs, and Hu Hu was busy with military affairs, so it was delayed." Ouyang Xuan took out the Momen waist card from his arms and handed it over to Gong Lianghui by the guards. "Did the girl ever recognize this thing, it was given by an old friend in the Western Regions." Gong Lianghui looked at it, but smiled, "On the streets of Chang'an, the folk girl has seen this thing." Ouyang Xuan's brain was racing rapidly, and he finally remembered the scene on the streets of Chang'an when he rescued the old man in Momen, yes, that kid was really exactly the same as this Gonglianghui, but at that time, he was down, his face was dirty, and he was still dressed as a man. "Where does the girl live now?" , "It's at the foot of the mountain Wujiazhuang, just now where I passed by." "Haha, when I return later, I will definitely go to visit Ling Zun", Gong Lianghui's face flushed and said: "In this way, the people's daughter Yu Jia's father can't ask for it." "Sima engaged, how about you play a song now?"

"The folk girl has heard of the painting of the piano for a long time, can you show it again?" In the lower also has this intention, in the lower qin art and the general is like the world, unbearable to go to the court", Sima Xiangru got up and said. Ouyang Xuan was also excited, "Okay, then it's ugly." In front of the fuqin, the musician taught a song "Mountains and Flowing Water", so that Ouyang Xuan could interpret the clouds and water, high and low orderly, staggered, a hand who is good at holding a sword, and now holding the piano is more comfortable than a sword. After playing a song, "Next, I will present another song, which is newly compiled by Ben Hou, which is still a little jerky, and I am smiling." After speaking, he stroked the song "Liang Zhu", which was improvised by Eurasia Gongxuan, and this piece was only played a few times in the band and at work before. It's been a long time, and it's still a little jerky to play today.,Overall, it's not bad.,The transfer of the inheritance of high and low tones is quite good.。 After playing, Ouyang Xuan arched his hand, "It's ugly, the new song is still a little jerky." "The new music can be played so skillfully, it is like a willingness. This song is tactful and smooth, it seems to have a story, I don't know if you can show it? In addition, the tea I drank just now seems to have a common origin with my hometown." "Haha, Sima is engaged in, this thing is the tea that has been fried for a long time, the newly fried tea is called green tea, and the tea of the cellar is called black tea. What I just played is a story told by the teacher and Ben Hou, and I will definitely engage in the Tao when I am free." "Thank you so much." "Gongliang, please use tea, pour this book a little to make a painting, and give it to the girl." Looking at Gong Lianghui's eyes in a daze, Ouyang Xuan said in time. Summoning the white wolves and letting them go to play with Gong Lianghui.

Under Ouyang Xuan's orders, the guards placed the guzheng on Sima Xiangru's desk, spread two meters long and half a meter wide of calligraphy and painting paper, and the pen and ink were ready. Ouyang Xuan stopped thinking for a while, glanced at the surrounding scenery, picked up the pen and sketched, and spent more than an hour painting "Winter Ganquan Hongze Map", after the painting was completed, this painting Ouyang Xuan used the style of splashing ink that he had demonstrated many times, the shallow mountain reeds are thousands of miles long, the sail shadow is like a show, the weeping willows are still around, the cooking smoke is swirling, the buffalo shepherd boy is singing the flute, and the riverside fishing is a man. , Sima Xiangru also deliberately flirted, and also played a few songs when Ouyang Xuan was painting, and talked with Gong Lianghui about some rhetoric. But this little girl's mind was completely on Ouyang Xuan, she kept staring at Ouyang Xuan, and finally simply walked to the front of the desk, supported her arms and watched Ouyang Xuan paint, the white wolf brothers and sisters were also very attentive to this little girl who was older than the righteous concubine, and even brought their own tiger skin nest and put it in front of the desk, so that Gong Lianghui could sit on it, of course, the sheepskin cushion was also indispensable, and the threatening guards were also put around Gong Lianghui, and the two guys lay on it and felt down.

After finishing the painting, Ouyang Xuan was also in good spirits, looked at his masterpiece, and said to himself: "How rare this kind of fairyland on earth should be." After finishing speaking, he wrote a poem: the willow curtain bends over ten thousand strips, and the thin branches reflect ten thousand points of white; Thousands of miles of rivers and rivers enter Hongze, and 10,000 people and rice come from the sky. The shadow of the sail enters the world, and the reeds and reeds paint the sky. Hu Hou Ouyang's Xuan Zheng Wu Chu and Ganquan Mountain in Dongyang County, the first month of the year of Wuzi has been ugly. Put on your own seal. Looking up at the desk, he smiled slightly. Just this smile has made Gonglianghui's soul fly out of the sky. Look at the sky, the sun has been hanging at a 60-degree angle to the west, Sima Xiangru, Gong Lianghui and Zhao are around this painting carefully scrutinized, Sima Xiangru is full of praise for the way the inscription is written. Ouyang Xuan writes in line letters, which is very easy for literate people in this era to identify. After the ink was dry, Ouyang Xuan rolled it up and handed it to Gong Lianghui and said: "If you go back to Chang'an, you can go to Nie's shop to frame it, and this painting will be given to the girl." "The people's daughter thanked her father for her great kindness," Gong Lianghui said with a flushed face. "This candidate has spoken, the word grace has passed, and I will give you another thing, and this thing can walk with the Xiongnu Western Regions and this Hou fiefdom." After speaking, he took out a red monster tooth with crossbow arrows from his waist bag and handed it to Gong Lianghui. "The people of the feudal provinces, the Hou Mansion and the Nie family shop will be convenient with the girl when they see this thing, and the Xiongnu and the countries of the Western Regions will also treat it as guests when they see this thing." "Hui thanked Hu Hou", said Yingying bowed sideways.

"Sima is engaged, Ben Hou is giving you a thing, if you need help, you can find the person of Ben Hou or Nie's shop to show it." After speaking, he took out a crossbow arrow and gave it to Sima Xiangru. At this time, the guards reported that the food had been prepared, "Start the meal, and have a special pleasure eating on the top of this Ganquan Mountain." "It's rare to have this Yaxing, and the beauty of this landscape really makes your appetite great." Zhao Zhou said in a timely manner.

In a moment's effort, all kinds of food prepared by Ouyang Xuan's chef were placed on the table, and the meat was mainly grilled, with cumin and chili peppers as condiments. There are no green vegetables, only some winter bamboo shoots and mushrooms and other vegetarian foods with glutinous rice, several people eat very sweet, especially Gong Lianghui, completely ignoring the image of the little girl, a meal of gobbling up, the dishes on the table are swept away.

The sun is westerly, the temperature also dropped suddenly, looking at the sunset dyed red in the east, in the red sunset in the northwest, there are faint cirrus clouds looming, and said to Zhao Zhou: "Fight the horse and return quickly, inform the battalions to prepare for heavy snow at night, any soldier after the snow must be dyed with ink sheep intestines out of the account, this is estimated that there will be heavy snow at night." "No, the last general will give the order", Zhao Zhou got on his horse and galloped down the mountain. "All set off to pack up their equipment and return to the camp." "No", the guards were ordered to go out and go to Zhang Luo to return to the camp.

On the way back, Ouyang Xuan's team sped up and returned the same way. The white wolf's special carriage is now invited by the showy Buick to invite Gong Lianghui, one person and two wolves keep playing in the car, and they have not stopped along the way, and Guli also threatens the cook with bared teeth from time to time, and takes out a few roasted leg of lamb and sends it to the car. If you don't understand it, so outsiders have to see it, the owner of this team of people should be the people in the car. When I walked to the village, I saw Gongliang Shu leading a group of people at the intersection at the entrance of the village. Ouyang Xuan dismounted, walked up to Gongliangshu and said, "Old man, how is your health now?" ”。“ The old and wrecked body is very grateful." "You're polite, please take Ben Hou to your home for a while. I have some old friends, maybe they will be old acquaintances." "Please wait, the grass people's house can be patronized, and it will shine." Gongliang Shu made a gesture of please. Listening to him, he is now very confident, full of alto, and light in his feet.

The team stopped in a courtyard with blue bricks and green tiles not far from the main road, and Ouyang Xuan did not let the guards enter the courtyard, but asked them to guard in a ring outside the courtyard. Only took the white wolf brothers and sisters and Gonglianghui into the courtyard with Gongliang. The courtyard is not large, with two entrances, and the front yard is clearly inhabited by servants and guards. Bypassing the front yard, in the reception room of the main room in the backyard, the guests and hosts are seated. Ouyang Xuan's guest was on the left side, and the white wolf followed Gong Lianghui to the backyard to make tea, and the tea sets were all brought in the car.

"Gongliang Gong, if you are not mistaken, it should be a person from the Momen, right?"

"Exactly, the sixth generation of Momen, made Hu Houjian smile."

"When I was with the Western Regions, I also met the Momen Ren Crane, and the disciple Master Father Hong. It's quite a chance, and the armor of this candidate is from Ren He's hand."

"Momen is now in decline, squeezed out by Taoism and Confucianism, and the three Momen are all successors."

"The meaning of Momen, and the Buddhism that arose in Tianzhu Guizi, seems to have something in common, all of them are good and loving, but Momen is simple for the common people. Buddhism is held up on the top, and the heart is open. Learning is the success or failure of today's world."

"Hu Hou, I know this door very well, but the order of the Mo family can only be taught and cultivated with the common people."

"Don't talk about this, why did Gongliang come here?"

"I wanted to come to the door to thank Hu Hou for rescuing the little girl and curing the disease, but because the Sanmo memorial was coming, he did not make the trip, and led his disciples to Lushan. After the Seven Kingdoms rebelled, they could only go south to join Deng Lingmo here, and Dongmo fought with Luan Bu and the kings of Shandong, but did not arrive."

"Oh? This Luan Bu is also a person from Momen? ”

"Hu Hou is quite related to Momen, you might as well tell it, Luan Bu and Ju Meng are all Xiangfu's five Hou Oriental Mo, Jinan Qu's many injustices, betrayed the door, and feared Luan Bu and Ju Meng's power to plunder the little girl as a hostage."

"I see, it doesn't matter, this Jinan Shan clan is going to be dealt with, please be relieved. There is another question in this wait, Gongliang Gong can know where Yunmeng Mountain is sacred."

"I heard that Hu Hou killed Shi Shuo in the Huns, Tu Qu Gong and his disciples, and the day before yesterday and the day before yesterday, the thunder killed Huaiyin Hou's distant nephew Han Wei are all descendants of Fu Xuan, the third generation of Guiguzi in Yunmeng Mountain. This person is quite mysterious, and the old man has also sent someone to contact him, but he can't get through. Later, I heard that this person is one hundred and fifty years old, and his Yin and Yang skills are like those of Master Hong."

Good guys, there's such a layer of mystery here. "The family teacher did not say anything about his past, and Ben Hou did not know what his origin was."

"The respected teacher and the family teacher once had a relationship with Tianshui when Gaozu founded the country, and there was no news after that."

"Please use tea." Gong Lianghui didn't know when he led the white wolf out of the back hall with the tea, and put down the tea with his head down in front of Ouyang Xuan. Turned around and sat down beside Gongliangshu.

"Gongliang is the only one under Gongliang's knees?"

"The old man has three sons and two daughters, both sons died in battle with Yanmen, one son went out of the East China Sea, so far there is no news, the eldest daughter is now married to the disciples of Hanzhong, and only the young daughter is by his side to accompany the old man."

At this time, there was a report outside the door that there was a military visit to Malay. Ouyang Xuan hurriedly got up and went out, kneeling on one knee in front of Ouyang Xuan: "General Yu, a hundred miles northwest of Dongyang City, there are 70,000 cavalry soldiers and 30,000 infantry soldiers stationed in the Wu Chu coalition army, and the leader is Tian Lubo, the general of Wu State, and his subordinates have notified the deputy general, and he is now communicating with the general." "Re-explore and report again". Ouyang Xuan sent away the exploration horse, returned to the house and hurriedly said goodbye to Gongliang. "I am waiting for military affairs, so I will say goodbye here, and I will return to Chang'an in the future and live in the house." "In this way, please wait, and the old man will leave for Chang'an the day after tomorrow, and he will definitely visit him."

Ouyang Xuan gave up his hand and took a large team of men and white wolves back to Dongyang County. "Daddy, why didn't you tell him just now about my sister marrying Nie's young son." "In the observation of a paragraph, to see how this person is, my father now suspects that the two murders in Chang'an are related to this person, listening to Xu Shanyou's words once, this case happened on the second day, Zhang Shan must know another murder case related to his enemy, both cases are caused by the people around this person. When I return to Chang'an this time, I must get in touch with the Zhang family no matter what." "Daddy, Hu Hou gave me this." After speaking, he took the monster tooth inlaid with crossbow arrows to Gongliangshu. This is a fang, half a catty, five feet long, the root of the tooth is made of a special wood to make a support, there are round holes, tied to a special rope, can be hung on the neck, the tip of the tooth is inlaid with a three-edged hollow crossbow arrow, the tooth body is engraved with the appearance of a giant beast, and there are two lines of small characters Ouyang Xuandong Gui and Shajing to cut the monster, keep the teeth to read. "How did I give this thing to you?" yes, there's a painting." After speaking, I went back to the back hall, took the painting, removed the things on the desk, and unfolded it. Gongliang Shu held a bronze oil lamp on the desk and carefully observed the painting, nodding while looking at it. "This son is a pedantic celestial, and it is also the will of heaven that this painting and the magic tooth are so easily given to you. Do you know that this tooth can be exchanged for a city in the Western Regions, and this painting is hard to find in Chang'an. It is so valuable, it should be kept in a safe place. Go pack your things and leave for Chang'an the day after tomorrow."
