Chapter 15: The First Mister
Niu Dazhuang's family reunion is lively and celebratory, so there is no need to say more. The new official of Niu Pavilion took office, and the village leaders and village elders of the villages under his rule also came to Woniu Village every day in an endless stream to congratulate. It's been a while. The construction of the village school in Woniu Village has begun. At the same time, the construction of the mountain temple was also started, and the progress was relatively fast due to the full preparation.
On this day, Niu Tianci was practicing calligraphy at home. The text of this Dayan is basically the same as that of ancient Chinese. Niu Tianci, who had some research on calligraphy in his previous life, learned Dayan script very easily. The few books that Yuan Chong gave him have now been memorized, but he is not familiar with the history of Dayan, and he doesn't know what the allusions in the books are. But there's no need to rush. After the village school master comes, just ask the master to interpret it.
After writing a word, Niu Tianci came to the courtyard to meditate and practice. After the Shenlong Jue Xiaocheng, there has been no progress. No matter how hard Niu Tianci tried to accumulate true qi, the dantian was like a vast sea, and he could not fill it up. The Divine Dragon Technique is not easy to cultivate, like Niu Tianci, who reached Xiaocheng at this age, he had almost no in his previous life, so he was not in a hurry. After an hour of cultivation, Niu Tian was full of spirit, and he carried a wooden gun in the courtyard to practice.
Just as he entered the realm of selflessness, the sound of slapping came from the courtyard.
"This brother is good at martial arts, which really makes the younger brother envious."
Tianci stopped his move and turned to look. I saw a child of the same age as himself in a Taoist robe standing in front of him. This little Taoist priest's face is like a beautiful jade, his eyes are like stars, his nose is like a gall, his mouth is like a painted Zhu, and the two sword eyebrows are obliquely inserted into his temples. When I laughed, two dimples appeared on my round face, which was indescribably cute. It's just that the shape of those eyes seems to be the legendary peach blossom eyes, and presumably he will definitely hook up with many beautiful women when he grows up.
The little Taoist priest was dressed in a cyan Taoist robe, and carried a package and a small sword on his back. The whole person looks clean and neat. The little Taoist priest stood there and looked at Niu Tianci with a smile, and the two of them looked at each other for a long time and suddenly giggled.
"This elder brother, poor Zhou Xiaoxian. I don't know what my brother is called? ”
"My name is Niu Tianci, Zhou Xiaoxian, right? Is it okay for you to come to my house? ”
"Oh, my master and I were a little thirsty when we passed by here, and we wanted to ask for a bowl of water to drink."
"Oh, come in, I'll make you tea." Tianci hurriedly ran to the door, only to see an old road standing in front of the door. is really an old man, I saw that his silver hair was tied in the crown of the Dao, and although there were many wrinkles on his face, he was still ruddy. Five strands of silver-white beard fluttered on his chest, and the dust in his hand was on his right arm, and the whole person stood there with a fairy wind. Tianci looked at it carefully for a while, and found that the face of the little Taoist priest was somewhat similar to this old Taoist.
"Old fairy, please come in. Milk, we're here. Tianci let the master and apprentice into the courtyard, and then moved out the tables and chairs and invited them to sit down. After a while, Wang brought tea.
"This Daoist. We don't have any good tea, and the hospitality is not good, so I hope we don't dislike it. After Wang finished speaking, he also gave Lao Dao a salute.
"You're so polite, a glass of water is enough, let alone tea. It's bothering, poor and mysterious. Lao Dao said and returned the salute. Wang and Xuan Jizi chatted without mentioning it, Niu Tianci and Zhou Xiaoxian chatted very happily.
"Little Sage, is your sword real? Can I pull it out and see? ”
"My name is Zhou Xiaoxian, not Xiaoxianzi. Of course, my sword is real, but it was forged by my master with extraterrestrial meteoric iron, which took 7749 days and thousands of tempers. This sword cuts gold and jade, sharpens iron like clay, and is extremely sharp, and is worth ten thousand gold. It is a rare magic weapon. It's a pity that the sword body is shorter, so it's called fish intestines. If you like it, Brother Tianci, ten taels of silver will be yours. You and my brother are destined to see each other, and the younger brother thinks that your brother is the second most beautiful man in the world. So this sword is a little brother who reluctantly cuts his love and gives it to you. ”
Tianci felt that he had met a salesman, and he grinned and drew his short sword. A tooth-souring sound came, and Niu Tianci looked at the short sword in his hand and couldn't laugh. I saw that this sword was covered in rust, and Tianci trembled the sword body slightly, and the rust fell down. Is this the sword that Zhou Xiaoxian said just now? No one picked up this thing on the road, and it was worth 10,000 gold, it was purely a lie.
"Brother, is the sword you said cutting gold and breaking jade, sharpening iron like clay, extremely sharp, and worth 10,000 gold divine weapons this rusty egg?" Tianci sent the sword to Zhou Xiaoxian.
"Ah, I've been in a hurry for the past few days and it's raining again, and I've forgotten to sharpen my sword. Brother Tianci, since you and I are destined, I will give you a discount. Five taels of silver, no less. Zhou Xiaoxian stretched out his chubby little hand and shook his five fingers back and forth.
"Brother, be kind. You've made this sword shiny, and you've got to cheat a few more bucks. You can't do it like that. Tianci shook his head and looked at Zhou Xiaoxian.
"Then what is my brother's plan to teach me?" Zhou Xiaoxian asked with a wink.
"I think you might as well get a peachwood sword with a talisman drawn on it, and tell people that this is the light of the gods. You can kill demons and demons, drive away evil and avoid evil. It is really a supreme magic weapon that is necessary for every family to protect the safety of their home. If you say this, some people may believe that some people will buy it. ”
"Oh, Brother God, you are so genius. Wait, I'm going to write down everything you just said. The little Taoist priest muttered with his fingers for a long time, as if he had memorized it. I saw him take back the broken sword, turn around, take out a peachwood sword from his baggage, and hand it to Niu Tianci with both hands.
"Brother Tianci, you see that this peachwood sword is made of hundred-year-old peachwood. It's really the gods who have opened the light. You can kill demons and demons, drive away evil and avoid evil. It is really a supreme magic weapon that is necessary for every family to protect the safety of their home. You and my brother are quite fateful, and you are the second most beautiful man in the world. Therefore, the younger brother endured the pain and cut his love, and sold it with tears, as long as he tattooed twenty taels of silver, you will take it. ”
"There's no hurry, I'll ask you. You say I'm the second most beautiful man in the world, so who is the first in the world? ”
Zhou Xiaoxian combed his sideburns with his chubby hands, squeezed his eyes at Niu Tianci and said, "This is the most beautiful man in the world." Naturally, it is the handsome and chic, graceful, jade tree in the wind, people are ashamed, and the flower sees the flower to commit suicide, I am ~~~~. ”
Niu Tianci looked at Zhou Xiaoxian, who was blinking at him with a pair of peach blossom eyes, he couldn't hold it back, and hugged Zhou Xiaoxian and smiled.
"Hahaha, brother, did you wear it too? Where's your hometown? ”
"Big brother, what do you mean? My little brother has been wearing clothes. Do you want to see your little brother look like he doesn't wear clothes? That's not going to work, I'm principled. Selling fakes, uh no, selling swords doesn't sell your body. The younger brother would rather die than get out. However, if you take five hundred taels, it's not that you can't negotiate, hehehe. ”
Niu Tianci lay on the ground with a smile, and after Xuan Jizi scolded Zhou Xiaoxian, Zhou Xiaoxian honestly drank tea there.
Niu Tianci stood up, patted the soil on his body, and talked to Xuanjizi. It turns out that this mysterious man has also been an official. His original name was Zhou Ruhai, the Taoist name Xuanjizi, and he used to be the doctor of Guozijian, and he was an official from the fifth grade. Because of his support for King Yan, he was ostracized and driven out of the court by Emperor Long Yanhei of Suzheng. In addition, his son, daughter-in-law and old wife died of illness, and he was disheartened and took his grandson Zhou Xiaoxian into the mountains to cultivate. This time, I plan to find a suitable place to build a Taoist temple and live a stable life.
Niu Tianci's eyes lit up. The doctor of Guozijian is the equivalent of a professor at a modern national university. From the official rank of the fifth grade, the county order has to salute him when he sees it. Talent must be retained. Niu Tianci launched an offensive around Xuanjizi, but after saying all the good things, Xuanjizi nodded when his chest crackled. Tianci was very depressed, knowing that it was because he was young and people didn't believe him.
At this moment, the old lady of the Wang family spoke: "Dao Chief, don't look at my grandson's young age, but we are also famous, and even our county respects him as a disciple." If you're not bothered, I'll tell you? ”
Xuan Jizi became interested, and hurriedly asked Wang to speak carefully. This Wang carefully told Xuan Jizi about Niu Tianci's deeds, and Xuan Jizi couldn't help but nod his head. He took a closer look at Niu Tianci's face, asked about his birthday, and touched his bones. He closed his eyes and counted for a long time, and when he looked at Niu Tianci again, his eyes were no longer the same.
"Okay, we're at the foot of Woniu Village. But I don't know if Muramasa is there? Xuan Jizi looked at Tianci and asked.
"Yes, my father is the village chief or the pavilion chief, I'm going to call him." After Niu Tianci finished speaking, he ran out to find Niu Dazhuang.
"Hey, Brother God, wait for me, I'll go with you." Zhou Xiaoxian followed him closely before running out. Xuanjizi stroked his beard and nodded and smiled.
"Yes, Niu Tianci is very good." Watching Xuanjizi talk to himself, Wang thought that Xuanjizi liked his grandson, so he didn't ask in detail. She didn't know that Xuan Jizi was not only good at learning, but also proficient in metaphysics, and the conclusion she came to was extremely amazing when she secretly touched Niu Tianci's face just now, that is, the words "unspeakably expensive". After careful calculation, Xuan Jizi found that Niu Tianci actually had the righteousness of a monarch and a minister with his grandson Zhou Xiaoxian. Xuan Jizi was shocked and didn't dare to calculate anymore.
Niu Dazhuang, Niu Shan and Chun Niang hurried home, and Tianci had already told them about the situation of Xuanjizi. Niu Dazhuang knew what his son meant, and he was also willing to keep the mystery. Of course, I will never let Xuanjizi be a Taoist, but let Xuanjizi go to the village to learn to be a gentleman. As long as Xuan Jizi agrees, even if Niu Dazhuang goes bankrupt, he will do it.
When several people met, Niu Shan and Niu Dazhuang begged Xuanjizi to stay, and they almost knelt and kowtowed. Xuanjizi sighed: "I think I, Zhou, can also be regarded as a talented and ambitious person." I don't want to be an official for half my life, but I understand me in this rural village. Anyway, if you can't govern the country, let's educate people. The two of them were invited, and the old man stayed. ”
Niu Dazhuang happily arranged for Chun Niang to buy wine and food and clean up the room. Niu Shan went to inform the villagers to come to Niu Dazhuang's house to celebrate the first gentleman of Woniu Village. Niu Shan proudly said to the villagers: "This gentleman of ours is the most learned gentleman in the world. Those masters in the county school are not comparable to Ben, and the children of each family must go to study in the future. Our old Niu family will also produce a lot of learned big people in the future. ”
For a time, Niu Dazhuang's family came and went. The villagers led the children and respectfully came to Xuanjizi with various gifts. The villagers greeted him warmly, and the childish voices of the children called Mr. moved Xuanjizi, and his eyes slowly moistened.
"My grandfather will definitely stay, brother, don't worry, come and have a drink with our brothers." Zhou Xiaoxian and Niu Tianci hid in the kitchen and secretly drank. This is home-brewed local sake, and it tastes sweet and silky. The two brothers held the pig's trotters while eating and drinking.
"Xiaoxian, do you want to get rich?" Niu Tianci began to fool people again.
