Chapter 12: The Madman Lan Qi

When the Iron Blood Army was defeated, Xianjin Fei was protected by Di Xianlan and fled to a small city southwest of Anyun. The defeat of the Iron and Blood Army, the hatred of the country and family, and the bitterness of losing his two sons, have already tortured him. In the end, he returned to Jingshi, and the Iron Blood Army also regained its strength, but Xian Jinfei's last time was short.

It is much better to be able to be buried in a beautiful place on the edge of Heluo City under the sanitation of many cronies than to die in a desolate and desolate border town. Xianjin Fei didn't leave any regrets, if anything, it was that he couldn't see Xian Gu Zhong and become a standalone figure.

Xian Gu got his wish and there were no fetters, and it seemed that the entire An Yun was a place for him to gallop, but his heart full of pride had now become empty.

After crying, Ken Guzhong once again came to Ken Jinfei's tomb, a bunch of grass, which stood out among the many offerings.

"Don't blame Lord Xian, a person came just now, saying that it was Xianshuai's old friend, so I let him in. I didn't want to hit him, so I put a handful of grass in front of Xianshuai's grave, and I took it down. The grave keeper hurriedly explained.

'Slow!' The person who gave this gift must be my father's best friend, and if I guessed correctly, it must be Mr. Gu Ling. When I was a child, he also gave me a lecture, but since the fall of the dynasty, Mr. Guling's whereabouts are unknown, and now it seems that he is still alive. Tell me, where did Mr. Zero go? Xian Guzhong hurriedly asked.

The grave keeper was also surprised when he heard the words of the Tomb Guard, and pointed in one direction. Without any hesitation, Kenya rode after him.

After walking a few miles in the valley, he saw an old man walking in front of him. The old man carried a large basket with some miscellaneous items in it, and a wooden stick in his hand, and walked step by step on the road. looks like a rural villager, and the word "sir" doesn't match at all.

"Mr. Gu Ling, please stay, the junior Xian Guzhong will come to visit." Xian Guzhong came to Gu Ling's side, and hurriedly dismounted and saluted.

"It turned out to be a virtuous nephew. I am glad to hear that you have now inherited the inheritance of the Xian Shuai. Gu Lingyi replied.

"I lost my father, I had no support. Now I can only rely on myself. But the younger generation understands that their wisdom and talent are far from enough. I want to compete with the heroes of the world, and I also want all the people in the world to live a happy life, I don't know if Mr. Gu Ling is willing to stay and help me. Ken Tanaka said.

"I don't know anything about military affairs, and I don't know how to schem, and my nephew wants to dominate the world, but I really can't help anything." Gu Ling excused himself.

"Back then, Mr. Gu Ling was lecturing in Beijing, and the whole street was blocked. Just to listen to what Mr. said. As long as my husband can give me some advice, I am willing to support him for the rest of my life, and it is not impossible to restore the situation of the year. Ken Tanaka persuaded.

"I'm old, I've been tending to the crops for more than ten years, and I've long forgotten what I learned before. Look at these hands, can you still hold a pen? Gu Ling raised his hands as he spoke, his wrinkled skin covered with crumbles. I really can't see that these hands have ever been able to write splendid articles.

Xian Guzhong looked at the hands, and he was speechless.

"I know my nephew's thoughts. I also know that my nephew is newly appointed and wants to recruit some cronies, but I am really not suitable. In the midst of troubled times, living with my own hands is already very satisfying. But I can recommend someone to my nephew, I wonder if my nephew is interested in listening to it? Zero withdrew his hands. Said with a wooden stick.

"Mr. has extraordinary knowledge, the person you recommend must have real skills, and I will definitely use it." Kentanaka said.

"A hundred miles north from here, there's a small town called Sanlu. Among them was one of Lan Qi's men. That man's demeanor is frenzied, and his words are all about the world and the country, claiming that as long as he can reverse the situation in the world with his own strength, what he says is more subtle than ghosts and gods. Because of this, the people in the town called him crazy. But I have carefully observed that in the man's speech, the truth is indeed exquisite, and the attainment of the art of power and scheming is very high. The virtuous nephew can go and ask for a help, maybe he can get a help. Gu Zero said.

"Since the gentleman insists on refusing to help me, I guess I am not virtuous enough. I will also visit the person recommended by my husband in person, and maybe I can really get a good talent as I said. I don't know if there is anything else you can tell me, sir? Ken Tanaka said.

"It's better to tell your nephew about something. When Wei Zeng's army arrived, he did not commit any offense against the entire An Yunqiu. And when my iron-blooded army returned, there were many things that disturbed the people. Could it be that my dignified iron-blooded army can't even compare to the Yanbei rebels? Please also ask the virtuous nephew to think about it. Gu Zero said.

"I will keep Sir's words in mind, and I will definitely rectify military discipline when I go back and put an end to all behaviors that disturb the people." Kentanaka said.

After saying that, he left, and continued to walk forward with a wooden stick.

Walking a short distance, Gu Ling glanced at the grass on the side of the road, and then said, "You have followed me all the way, I don't have anything of value on me, why did you come?" ”

"Don't be surprised, sir, I passed through a village and heard of a very virtuous man living there. I wanted to ask the old man for some knowledge, but the old man went to the town to sell something. I chased him to the town, and the old man walked more than a hundred miles, ran to a man's grave, threw away a handful of grass, and went back. I wanted to show up just now, but I was disturbed by the boy. However, when I heard that my husband had lectured in Beijing, I knew that my journey had not been in vain. A woman walked out, although she was wearing coarse cloth clothes, but she had a bit of aura in her eyes, and this woman was Han Taozi, who ran away from home.

"I am but an ignorant person, where can I give anyone what knowledge? Let the girl go so wrong, the old man is really guilty. After saying that, he turned around and continued walking.

"How is this possible, everyone says that you are virtuous, and that son just now also explained your identity. I came out to walk just to ask what real knowledge is, is it really good for my husband to hide his secrets like this? Han Taozi asked.

"I don't mean anything to hide, I really don't understand anything. I've read a lot of books before, but they don't solve the problems I'm having. Gu Zero said.

"Then what problems did you encounter, and what did you not understand?" Han Taozi asked.

"I don't understand that God has allowed so many people to live in the world. But why did they struggle in misery and finally die in agony? I learned a lot. But none of them could answer this question, and I realized then that I had studied all my life and had learned nothing. Thinking too much is just a headache, growing crops, and the body is hard. But the spirit can be better. "Zero replied.

"I don't understand that either. Dad said that he wanted everyone to love the secular world, but there are so many sufferings and so many ugliness in this world, where is it worth love? It seems that the gentleman really can't answer my question, and Momoko interrupted. Han Taozi shook his head after speaking, and left.

Gu Ling didn't say a word, didn't look back, and walked towards the place where he lived.

"After looking for half a year, I finally found a master. But this master can't answer my question. The madman of Sanlu Town, can you answer my question? Normal people can't answer, maybe a madman can, especially a madman who is appreciated by a superior person. Han Taozi was disappointed for a while, and then plucked up confidence and walked towards Sanlu Town.

It's late summer and early autumn, and the weather is still very hot, and the green scenery on both sides of the road can comfort the hearts of passers-by. Baili walked for two days from Han Taozi. In troubled times, there are not many pedestrians on the road. There are also more dangers for a woman to walk. Fortunately, Yaodong people have practiced martial arts since childhood, and Han Taozi can also protect herself, although there were some twists and turns along the way, but in the end she still arrived in Sanlu Town.

Asking the people in the town for news of a madman, Han Taozi soon came to a house. The house was on the edge of the town, and a small tea shed was erected in front of it. A few pedestrians were drinking tea in the tea shed, and everything was normal.

"Does Mr. Lan Qi live here, please? The little girl Han Momoko came to visit. Han Taozi came to the tea shed and shouted.

Several tea drinkers laughed when they heard Han Taozi's shout, and then shouted loudly into the room: "Crazy, when did you become a gentleman." You see a beautiful girl has come to the door, come out and have a look. ”

"There's a pretty girl coming? That's a great thing. Talented people with beautiful women have been widely spread since ancient times. But I'm a madman, and only a fool can look at it. A man came out of the room in a cloth shirt, carrying a teapot, and as he spoke, he poured tea for a few tea drinkers.

"You are Mr. Lan Qi, the little girl has some questions to ask, I don't know if you have time." Han Taozi stepped forward and said.

"I don't have time, I'm busy! Ask for advice or something, how can it be better to drink tea. A little bitterness makes people sober; A sweetness that makes people linger. There is sweetness in suffering, so it is unforgettable; There is sweetness and astringency, so you can't slack off. Lan Qi poured a bowl of tea as she spoke, placed it in front of Han Taozi, and then went into the house to make tea.

Han Taozi sat on the seat and looked around, although the grass house in the village was simple, it was clean and neat; The tea bowl in his hand is a little rough at any time, but it is more thick; A sip of tea is drunk, a little bitter, a little sweet, the tea enters the stomach, and the mouth is still full of aftertaste.

"This madman usually talks crazy, but his tea is really delicious. It's a big bowl for a penny, and it's not expensive. The girl came here to drink tea, but she was in the right place. But if you want to ask him a question, you're looking for the wrong person. The teacher of our town is just east of the town, and you can pay a visit. After a few people finished drinking tea, they left a few copper plates, got up and left, and walked to Han Taozi's side and said.

At this time, Lan Qi walked out of the house, picked up a few copper plates, and then shouted to a few people: "Thank you for the rewards, when my Lan Qi is famous all over the world, I will definitely repay it well." ”

He was greeted by a burst of laughter.

Lan Qi didn't care, packed up the tea bowl, and went into the house.

Han Taozi drank a bowl of tea, and saw that Lan Qi hadn't come out for a long time, so he entered the house. I saw Lan Qi sitting by the stove, fanning the fire with a fan in his hand, his eyes staring at the teapot, and his focused look seemed to have nothing else in heaven and earth except this teapot.

"The taste of the tea is okay." Lan Qi didn't look back and said.

"Sir's tea tastes good, just like the whole life, bittersweet and bittersweet." Han Taozi replied.

"If you think it tastes good, the girl can drink two more bowls, and then Lan Qi will invite you. But life ...... Hehe, the girl shouldn't be too old, so it's better not to talk about it casually. Lan Qi smiled.

"I came all the way to find the university question of life. I watched Mr. make tea, and listened to Mr. Gentle's remarks, I knew that Mr. must have some understanding, and I asked Mr. to give advice. Han Taozi said.

"I have nothing to teach you. You must have sneaked out. Go home, find a good man to marry, and pray for a lifetime of no illness or disaster, and this is your greatest blessing. Lan Qi said coldly.

"I did sneak out. But I am determined that I will never go back until I find the true knowledge of life. I came from Yaodong to Xu Huai, and from Xu Huai to Anyun, although there were many difficulties and obstacles along the way, I firmly believe that I can definitely find it. Since my husband didn't want to teach me, I had no choice but to leave. I want to go to Kansai, to Jiangnan, even if it is a deserted place, I want to explore. I just hope to meet someone who can answer my doubts and calm my heart. Han Taozi just sighed, then exited the door, and was about to leave.

"Yaodong is not close to here, and there is a lot of war during this time. If you have friends from afar, you should naturally welcome them. The girl just left, and others would say that I Lan Qi didn't understand hospitality. Lan Qi's stiffness came from the house, and Han Taozi stopped and looked back at the room.

I saw Lan Qi walk out of the house, with a thoughtful expression on her face, and then said with a smile: "The girl came thousands of miles away, just to find something that doesn't exist, it's really a bit crazy. Maybe the girl can listen to the crazy words of a madman? ”

"Is the gentleman really willing to solve my doubts for me? Thank you Momoko here. Han Taozi said with a salute,

"Sir doesn't dare to be, the girl will call me by my name directly in the future. The girl is looking for true knowledge, and I am also looking for this. But I may be able to answer one or two of the doubts in the girl's heart. Please explain it to the girl. Lan Qi said, and invited Han Taozi to sit down, and he also sat opposite Han Taozi.

"I want to ask how to love this world, there are so many disasters in this world, and there are so many ugliness in this world, how can I really love it, and let so many people fall in love with it?" Han Taozi asked.

Different people will give you different answers, but most of them are just self-deception. I will only say four words to you: good luck and bad luck. Lan Qi replied. (To be continued.) )
