Chapter 108: Peacock
It's just a few steps, Fang Chuanxin found Zhou Fang in the attic, the old drunkard opened his mouth to drink as usual, and when he held the bamboo leaf cup and took two sips, his spirit was vigorous, and there was a trace of a famous man's demeanor in his expression, but when he saw Fang Chuanxin take out the "Southern Dynasty Hairpin Lady Picture", it was like seeing a ghost, a sip of wine spurted out, and said in a trembling voice: "How did this painting get into your hands?" The young man killed the old man! ”
“……”
Fang Chuanxin grinded hard and contributed a few bottles of good wine, and this NPC suppressed the fear in his heart: "The old man has never seen this painting!" If you have anything to ask, hurry up, and leave after asking! ”
Looking at his reaction, Fang Chuanxin felt that he seemed to be in trouble with the painting, but it was inconvenient to delve into it at this time, and asked what the poem on the painting had hidden meaning.
"It's really weird." Zhou Fang calmed down and commented: "This poem is a Wing Chun poem, and the same is true from the scenery written in the poem, Surabaya Shore, the sky is sunny, looking for spring scenery, and the remaining three sentences all describe the scene of spring returning to the earth and the recovery of all things. ”
"If you don't learn and don't know how to do it, even if you have doubts, I'm afraid you won't be able to see the clues."
"I want to hear about it." Fang Chuanxin asked.
"You see that this painting is made, it is made by Jin Fengyuan, who this person is The old man has never heard of, I think it is an unknown person, but the old man knows that he did not paint this spring day, but borrowed it." Zhou Fang said: "This poem is written by the poet Zhu Xi of the Southern Dynasty, and the place where the search for Fang is located is the shore of Surabaya, and this place has long been occupied by foreigners in the Southern Dynasty. This point is secret, knowing it, and those who don't know can't think of it even if they want to break their heads! ”
Zhou Fang stroked his beard triumphantly, his face was full of smugness, Fang Chuanxin hurriedly followed, and asked suspiciously: "Then what?" ”
NPC continued: "Therefore, the "Surabaya" in the poem is an allusion to Confucius, because in ancient times, Confucius had lectured and taught his disciples in string songs between Zhu and Si, so the so-called "seeking Fang" in this poem refers to the way of seeking the sage, and "thousands of purples and thousands of reds" alludes to the richness and variety of Confucius, and the poet compares the way of the sage to the spring breeze that spurs the birth and ignites all things, which is actually a philosophical poem that is interesting in the image. ”
“…… Gone? ”
Fang Chuanxin quickly caught the blind, a good Wing Chun poem turned into a philosophical poem, it was indeed the gospel of the party, but it was of little use to his task, he just wanted to know which woman was in the painting? What kind of poem, what kind of poem, isn't it? I couldn't help but say, "Can you talk about the point?" What is the relationship between this poem and the woman in the painting? What does it have to do with the peacock white hosta on his head? ”
Zhou Fang was very unhappy holding the wine bottle: "How does the old man know who this woman is?" The old man has kindly instructed you, don't be verbose, go quickly, don't say that you have seen the old man! ”
…… Fang Chuanxin sent wine again, this old drunkard didn't want it, suddenly patted his head, and pointed him to the county king's mansion to find "The Hairpin Lady of the Southern Dynasty" It was indeed Zhou Fang, but it was Zhou Fang who pointed him to find Zhou Fang was the shopkeeper in the Bashu Wanqing Zhuhai Inn, it seems that this matter has to find the source, and he has to find the shopkeeper.
Immediately put on the stars and the moon, and rushed out of Xiangzhou City to Bashu overnight, and when he arrived at the inn of Wanqing Zhuhai, Fang Chuanxin simply took out the "Hairpin Lady of the Southern Dynasty" and said: "Shopkeeper, I have taken this painting, please give me some advice." ”
The shopkeeper didn't expect him to be so unrestrained, and his eyes were full of wonder: "This painting was originally in the county king's mansion, hehe, I didn't expect the young man to be so wonderful!" ”
NPC and NPC are also incomparable, Zhou Fang was scared out when he saw the painting urine, but when it came to the mouth of the hotel shopkeeper, it was just a word of appreciation, worthy of being a person in the hanging eye organization, Fang Chuanxin repeated the lines he heard from Zhou Fang, and the shopkeeper smiled and said: "Although Master Zhou Fang is a saint in the painting, he is not a person in the rivers and lakes, and he naturally does not know the secrets in it." ”
"Oh, what's the secret?"
"This poem has another meaning in the eyes of everyone in Shilin, and in the eyes of our martial arts people, it is naturally another meaning, to know this meaning, we must first talk about Jin Fengyuan."
"Who is this man?"
"The painter Jin Fengyuan, in the Shilin is not famous, but in the martial arts is famous, he is a martial arts master in the Southern Dynasty, good at a bunch of judge pens, naturally good at Danqing, this person painted a good picture of beauty, but also borrowed the spring poem to like, with the heart of love, is really a wonderful person."
Fang Chuanxin felt that it was too complicated.
"Master Zhou Fang's 'Surabaya' alludes to the hole gate, which is indeed not bad, but the hole gate here is the peacock gate!"
"Peacock Gate?"
"Not bad!" The shopkeeper sighed: "The world is forgetful, the Tang Gate secret weapon, the mechanism is unparalleled, but I don't know that in the Southern Dynasty, there is a door called Peacock Gate in the north, and at that time it was called the secret weapon and the mechanism of the Tang Gate, the road is 'Southern Tang Dynasty North Hole', the Southern Tang Dynasty is the Tang Gate, and the North Hole is naturally the Peacock Gate." ”
"Oh."
"The woman in this painting, surnamed Peacock, is the owner of the Peacock Gate, it was rumored that the peacock shot, thousands of purples and thousands of reds, a hundred flowers blooming, such as the east wind blowing in the face, waiting for idle death! Jin Fengyuan borrowed spring poems, and the allusion was this peacock. The shopkeeper said: "The peacock white hosta you are looking for is pointed, long, and has smooth lines, like a dart?" The peacock's famous secret weapon is the white jade peacock dart on his head! ”
"......" Fang Chuanxin was speechless for a moment.
The shopkeeper's summary statement: "Once the Southern Dynasty died, this white jade peacock dart no longer existed, so what the old man said that day was a characteristic of the Southern Dynasty, and it was not a lie." ”
At this time, Fang Chuanxin had already figured out that the white jade peacock hairpin turned out to be a dart, and it was the famous secret weapon of the female peacock in the painting, and he could also go back to the door owner Han Shouxin to restore his life, but he still had doubts in his heart, because Zhou Taifu, the shopkeeper of Xu Hai grocery store, said that the white jade peacock hairpin was a characteristic of Xirong and was owned by the nobles, which was not the same as what the hotel shopkeeper said.
Besides, the shopkeeper said "The Southern Dynasty is dead, and the white jade peacock dart no longer exists", but the logic of this sentence does not make sense, the Southern Dynasty is dead, the Tang Gate is still there, the hidden weapon of the Tang Gate is still there, and the reason why the white jade peacock dart no longer exists should be the demise of the Peacock Gate.
Now, Fang Chuanxin's curiosity has been raised to the extreme, and he hurriedly smashed the silver: "Shopkeeper, buy the news!" ”
"Young man, excuse me!" After getting the money, the shopkeeper went to work again.
"I've heard that the white jade peacock hairpin is a feature of Xirong and is owned by the nobles, is this wrong news?"
"It's not." The shopkeeper immediately shook his head.
"Then why is it a feature of the Southern Dynasties?"
"These two messages are not contradictory." The shopkeeper smiled and said, "If you want to know the secret, please pay another 3 silver." ”
“…… 3 silver? "Fang Chuanxin is strange, not because it is expensive, but because it is cheap, in the eyes of NPCs, the value of silver is very low, and the general news is 5 silver.
"This news is not secret, if Shaoxia reads more, especially "The Legend of the Southern Dynasties", he will naturally understand the key." The shopkeeper smiled.
"No need, you tell me."
"Peacock, in the martial arts, is the master of the Peacock Gate, but she is also after Kong Sheng, she is a noble daughter of the court, enjoying the honor of nobility, before the defeat of the Southern Dynasty, she was married to the Wusun clan in Xirong, and with the help of the power of the Wusun clan, the peacock's unique secret weapon was naturally brought over, and after a long time, it seems that it has naturally become a foreign characteristic."
“…… Then the Peacock Gate is disbanded? Fang Chuanxin asked one more question.
"No, her sister Kong Ying continues to hold the authority, Peacock and Kong Ying, at that time, they were famous, called Confucius Shuangshu, but Kong Ying's talent is far inferior to that of Peacock, not long after the peacock left, the Southern Dynasty was overthrown, and the Wusun clan was also eliminated by the Yue Clan, the Peacock Gate disappeared from then on, and there was no news of Kongmen Shuangshu in the rivers and lakes."
Fang Chuanxin thought about it, these news floated on the surface, the secret of the white jade peacock hairpin should be far more than that, otherwise it would not have been hidden in the Hanhai treasure by the founding patriarch of Shenwei Castle for decades, and as soon as it was born, it attracted all parties to move, but it was a pity that if I bought the news again, there was no shopkeeper.
To do the task, naturally you have to do your best and get the best reward, Fang Chuanxin decided to dig deeper, there is still a clue about the news about the white jade peacock hairpin, that is, Xu Hai's grocery store owner Chow Tai Fook.
At this moment, Fang Chuanxin's mood is complicated, so he is going to rob the dart, or the robber knows that it is a fake dart, how cruel is this! However, after thinking about it again, it is none of his business to rob the fake, after all, it is done according to Chow Tai Fook's task, and if he takes the fake to hand in the task, he is not afraid that Chow Tai Fook will not obey and repay the debt, it is Chow Tai Fook's own news that is wrong!
Just then, a message arrives: "You have a new letter. ”
Fang Chuanxin is next to the inn, very close to the mailbox, by the way to pick up the letter, look at it is still there, what do you want to come, Chow Tai Fook's flying pigeon biography, the content is very simple, only said that the goal is about to set off, and asked him to go to the grocery store.
It's so formal? Fang Chuanxin thought, the owner of a shop selling stolen goods in Chow Tai Fook District actually learned the formal process of Ma Yishi robbing the rich and helping the poor, and he was not afraid of making too much noise?
It seems that this dart is not easy to move, and Chow Tai Fook must be a task of Guangfa, and the people who want to take over the task will get together before the dispatch, and the intention is naturally to let the players involved in the task study the plan together, find people and form a team, so that they can rush to the task when they arrive.
In that case, we have to take a look.
