Chapter 35: Under the Dragon and Tiger Mountain
This parrot brother is Xu Yongzhi's messenger!
Xu Yongzhi's painting is compared with Li Yu, it is one word, miserable.
The proprietor of this pharmacy is best at painting the leaves of various plants, and has never had time to learn figure painting.
But with a few simple strokes, I know that he is drawing me;
He expected me to recognize her as the one who wrote the pen.
Xiaogui's heart was filled with a sense of satisfaction at once:
What his meow's name goes down in history, the girl doesn't care.
Affection is much more important than history!
She looked at the portrait and looked at it.
"I don't have a second person to worry about, only you."
She wrote down this sentence.
No, even if it's true, this person will swell.
"I've met a lot of people lately, but you're the one I'm most worried about."
No, it's too cold.
I don't want to suppress my feelings like that.
Rewrite.
"It's like, but I miss you so much."
No, even I scolded myself.
Over and over again, she only wrote two simple words.
"Very much."
A small "expensive" was written on the corner of the paper roll.
The paper roll was stuffed into the bamboo tube, the small bamboo tube was resealed, the melon seeds and fruits were fed to the parrot, and the bamboo tube was hung for the parrot, and the gray parrot fluttered its wings and went to the sky.
This is the first successful test flight of Xu Yongzhi's parrot "Chirp Ash".
On the way to buy a shipowner, Xu Yongzhi has been trying to train parrots.
Tian Kokou said that training parrots was very simple, and the three of them also felt that it was very simple, and when they really got started, they found that it was not the same thing at all.
"Chirp Ash, you go to Longhu Mountain." Xu Yongzhi said.
“……”
"Ignore me?"
“……”
"Dragon and Tiger Mountain, Le Weng Dragon, Drink Five Tigers, Shi'an Mountain."
“……”
"I'll write it down for you, those three words."
Xu Yongzhi brought the note to the parrot.
I don't bother to pay attention to you at all, stupid human.
"I'll try it," said Crisp, taking the pen and paper, "I think this parrot may not be able to read." ”
"I just said pinyin."
"Pinyin doesn't work."
Of course, neither of them told the parrot which Dragon and Tiger Mountain was, and there was no mountain in the world that had a big name on the mountainside except Hollywood.
"Do you know Jiangxi?" Xu Yongzhi is desperate.
"Hongzhou ......" Xu Yongzhi became more and more desperate.
You must know that even after more than 1,000 years, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Plain are only taught in junior high school.
"Gotta draw it and show it to him!" Crispy took the pen.
Ah Crisp took the pen and remembered that he had never been to Longhu Mountain, so naturally he couldn't draw the appearance of Longhu Mountain.
"Brother Xu, you draw Longhu Mountain and show it to the parrot."
Xu Yongzhi drew an elephant crookedly.
"I think this might be an elephant." Crisp said.
"What does an elephant look like? I haven't seen it. Duan Zishou leaned over to take a look.
"That's right, there is an elephant trunk mountain in Longhu Mountain, it's right to go down there when you see it."
"Fly here!"
"Okay." Chirp Ash finally understood.
"Now that the address is understood, I have to draw a recipient for him."
Master's big face of winter melon and two mustaches appeared in Xu Yongzhi's mind.
"Brother-in-law, I think you painted this as a winter melon." Duan Zishou said.
"Don't talk nonsense, this is my master." Xu Yongzhi hurriedly added a nose and eyes to the winter melon, and then traced his hair, a Taoist priest's bun, secretly regretting why he didn't worship the monk back then.
"Master, Master."
"Master." Chirp Ash repeated.
Xu Yongzhi wrote a letter and put it in the foot tube for Chirp Ash, but Chirp Ash didn't bother to pay attention to him at all.
"Go to Longhu Mountain and give the letter to Master."
"No, no."
Everyone understands these two words.
"Brother-in-law, he doesn't give you face, do you want to let Ah Crisp scare him!"
"How can I scare him!"
"You're pretending to be a cat to scare him!"
"With such a big bird, a cat may not be able to beat him!"
"Stop making trouble!"
"Brother-in-law, do you have any good ideas?"
"You've gone to the market to buy fish."
"Bought." Crisp said.
"What should I do if I meet a fish I haven't seen before and can't do it?" Xu Yongzhi asked.
"Eat it raw." Ah Crisp said simply.
"People can't eat raw fish from the river, they will have diarrhea." Xu Yongzhi said.
"Brother Xu, what are you going to say, just say it, the rhetoric of questions and analogies, the girl who talks fast is not so attractive." Crisp said.
"I mean, you can't make fish, you ask the fish seller how to do it." Xu Yongzhi said.
Duan Zishou picked up the chirping ashes and was about to go out of the cabin to call the boatman.
"What are you doing!"
"Boaters should all fish."
"This is a passenger boat, not a fishing boat, and besides, I'm using an analogy, it's useless for you to find a fisherman with a bird." Xu Yongzhi said.
"What then?"
"Coco, please write me a parrot training manual, I asked him to go to Zhang Daochang, but he refused to go." Xu Yongzhi wrote the note and stuffed it into his foot.
"Go find Coco."
Of course, the parrot understood, flapped its wings and went.
"It's still my brother-in-law who is smart."
"What's so clever about this, don't we have to give people instructions to sell medicines!"
After half a day, the parrot flew back.
Xu Yongzhi opened the reply letter.
"Cousin: What a fool you are, with such a good messenger, you actually wrote the first letter to a winter melon? I asked Ash and he said he was too lazy to pay attention to you. It's important for you to write to your sister quickly. ”
Xu Yongzhi was dumbfounded, "Is my painting skills really so bad?" That's my master, Daochang Zhang. ”
"It seems that Chirp Ash is the one who knows the best about girls among us." Crisp said.
Xu Yongzhi tried his best to paint Xiaogui like a little bit, and drew the appearance of the studio with his memory.
"Chirp ashes," Xu Yongzhi said, "Go to the studio and find Xiaogui, this girl is my crush." ”
He didn't write any additional letters, so he signed Xiaogui's portrait and stuffed it into the foot, and sealed it.
"What do you mean by someone you like?" Duan Zishou asked Ah Crisp.
"It's the person you like, the sweetheart, for example, I'm your crush." Crisp said.
"And what about my sister?" Duan Zishou asked.
"Sister can't be your crush, of course the relationship between you liking your sister and liking me is of course different." Crisp said.
"I mean, does my brother-in-law still like my sister?" Duan Zishou asked Ah Crisp.
At this time, the Gray of Chirp ate something, accepted the order, and set off for the east.
Xu Yongzhi turned his head and said to Duan Zishou:
"Your sister, I'm someone I always miss."
"What's missing, is it just chattering in the store?" Duan Zishou asked.
"Human emotions...... It's too complicated. Crisp looked at the parrot in the distance and muttered.
When the chirp flew back to the ship, the boat had already arrived near Hongzhou, and it landed on Xu Yongzhi's shoulder.
"It's hard work," Xu Yongzhi hurriedly fed it.
Take down the foot, which is a short "very reading" and a signature of the word "expensive".
Long-distance relationships are really hard.
"Chirp ashes," Xu Yongzhi said, "take a good rest, it's almost time to reach Longhu Mountain, and you don't need to go to the master." ”
The boat arrived in Hongzhou, everyone went ashore together, Xu Yongzhi bought two horses, one by himself, Duan Zishou and A Crisp took one, A Crisp felt that it was still the most comfortable posture as a panda, and sat on Duan Zishou's back, chirping gray sometimes in the sky to explore the way, sometimes fell on Xu Yongzhi's shoulders to rest, everyone set off early in the morning, eat at noon, and then catch two stations after the sun went down a little, there are many pilgrims on this road, so the road on both sides, snacks and food, are quite convenient.
After traveling for two days, it seemed that outside Shangqing Town at the foot of Longhu Mountain, the Heavenly Master's Mansion of Master Zhang Qianren was here.
The chirping ash suddenly became restless in the air, and Xu Yongzhi opened his mouth to ask, "What's ahead?" ”
"Bing."
As soon as this word came out, Xu Yongzhi became vigilant, Ah Crisp climbed a big tree, looked into the distance for a while, and came down to tell Xu Yongzhi and Duan Zishou: "It's the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty, there are about 3,000 people." ”
This is Zhou Zhuocheng's territory, he is the envoy of the Hongzhou Army, and he obviously can't catch Zhang Huan when he mobilizes troops and horses, but this is at least a political act to show his muscles, which makes his master Zhang Qianren, his uncle Zhang Bei and his master Zhang Huan feel real pressure.
As for how many masters there are in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and whether there is necromancy or not, I'm afraid it's impossible to predict.
"Let's go inside."
"Can we climb over the wall and get in, do we need it?" Crisp asked.
"Don't, Ah Crisp, use your trick, I'll go ahead." Xu Yongzhi said.
"Isn't it a little too violent?" Crisp asked.
"Really? I think it's too gentle. ”
The soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty would never have seen such a terrifying scene in their lifetimes.
Xu Yongzhi, who was about ten zhang tall, held a five-zhang long giant sword in his hand and slowly walked straight to the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
"Mom!" Hundreds of soldiers at the gate and around the wall dispersed without being beaten.
Walking to the gate, Ah Crisp put away the projection, Xu Yongzhi and Duan Zishou walked into the gate and found that the situation in the courtyard was not so simple.
The enemy of Longhu Mountain is not Zhou Zhuocheng's army, at least not only this army.
To the west are hundreds of soldiers led by Zhou Zhuocheng, as well as hundreds of people of different shapes and colors.
Dongshou is a disciple of Longhu Mountain, and the master Zhang Qianren is lined up behind, and the number is much smaller, only forty or fifty people.
"Brother-in-law, great, today is a group fight." Amormo shook his hands.
"A-Shou is cautious, today is a fierce battle."
"Disciple Xu Jin, come to work for the master of Longhu Mountain, and greet Master Tai." Xu Yongzhi raised his breath and shouted, the two figures rose and fell, and gently fell in front of the master, bowing down, not to mention the senior brothers in the east, and even many people in the rivers and lakes in the west also secretly praised "good handsome light skills".
Master Tai gently flicked the sleeves of his robe, and a gentle air flow lifted Xu Yongzhi's elbow.
Show.
What does it mean to show your face?
No one has me, and no one has me.
Everyone practices light exercises, you Xu Yongzhi comes in quickly, this is not fast, you show your face more than others.
Every family has apprentices and grandchildren, you Zhang Qianren is more beautiful than others, and your image and temperament are good, so you will show your face more than others.
"Yongzhi," Zhang Qianren said, "Today, a group of friends from the rivers and lakes came to visit Longhu Mountain, I will talk to them first, you came ......just in time."
Zhang Qianren's words, there is a lot of leeway, "friends on the rivers and lakes", is not ready to go to war with everyone, but if the other party is not willing to be friends, then there is no way, so I have to fight.
"Let's talk" shows that the old man has a high status and has no reason to do it with the other party.
said that the other party came to visit "Dragon and Tiger Mountain", which also shows that the Zhang family is willing to use the rules of the rivers and lakes to solve the problem, and did not use the Heavenly Master's Mansion to suppress the opponent.
You must know that Li Yu is now serving the Zhengshuo of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the year name is "Xiande", on the territory of the Great Zhou, Li Yu is the "Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty", just a king, not an emperor, the emperor is closed the door and sits inside.
In other words, Zhang Tianshi is the Heavenly Master canonized by the Great Zhou Emperor, and Li Yu should be polite when he comes here.
Let you lose face, the other party has no good intentions.
"Yo-he!" Zhou Zhuocheng shouted, "You actually threw yourself into the net, that's right, I'll arrest you back." ”
Zhang Qianren frowned, and few people interrupted Zhang Tianshi's speech.
In the land of China, there are two families that are still in the lineage after the change of dynasty, one is the Yan Shenggong of Qufu, that is, the descendants of Kongqiu Kong Zhongni; One is Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain, that is, the descendants of Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang, who stayed in the Han Dynasty and assisted Liu Bang in the destruction of the tyrannical Qin.
The emperor changed casually, and the Sheng Gong of Yan was still surnamed Kong; The prime minister will be changed casually, and Zhang Tianshi's surname will always be Zhang.
The Jade Emperor was also surnamed Zhang and was also a relative of his family.
The emperor and the general, who doesn't have a vixen at home, right?
One day, you will be able to ask for Zhang Tianshi.
In the past dynasties, Zhang Tianshi talked and laughed with the emperor and gave advice to his mother.
It is very rude for a Hongzhou military envoy to dare to interrupt Zhang Tianshi's speech unscrupulously.
Of course, one of the characteristics of the five dynasties of the remnant Tang Dynasty is that people with big fists speak hard.
Despite this, being disrespectful to such a family, this beam can be regarded as the end.
Zhang Qianren is in the name of forbearance, so he is naturally very well-cultivated, but Xu Yongzhi's uncle Zhang Bei is not polite.
"Zhou Zhuocheng, Master Tian is talking to his grandson, so it's better not to talk to him."
"Hahaha, I took the liberty of it, let me ask, this person was fired by you a few days ago, right, is he still your person today?" Zhou Zhuocheng asked Zhang Bei.
This time Zhang Bei was stopped.
Just the day before yesterday, Zhang Huan's father sent a notice to all the gates of the rivers and lakes, saying that he had exempted Xu Yongzhi from the status of a disciple of Dragon and Tiger Mountain.
The idea is very simple, that is, I want Xu Yongzhi to let go of revenge, and not to care about the identity of the disciple of Longhu Mountain.
But this letter also made the current Xu Yongzhi unable to stand out for the teacher.
Of course, you can indeed say a sentence, "one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father", father and son did not have an overnight feud, yesterday I was proud of the master, today the master is proud of me, and then forcibly went over to beat people, but the word Jianghu, a good horse is out of the legs, a good man is out of the mouth, the teacher is nameless, and the reputation of the Zhang family will be damaged in the future.
"Master, is that so?"
"Yongzhi, Longhu Mountain has indeed exempted you from being a disciple, it is an exemption, not a revolution, the difference between the inside, you are a smart child, you can understand." Zhang Qianren said.
Xu Yongzhi immediately understood that this was Master Zhang Huan's kindness.
Zhang Huan is not in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, he usually lives in the Tushi Palace, on the mountain, it will take time to come to the rescue, before he arrives, Xu Yongzhi himself is the most powerful fighter in the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
"My status is very low, but these people are coming for me today, I don't come out, I can't say it." Xu Yongzhi thought to himself.
"Temperance envoy, are you here today for the public or for the private cause?" Xu Yongzhi asked.
This sentence immediately asked Zhou Zhuocheng's key point.
He laughed dryly:
"How do you say it for public and what do you say for private reasons?"
"If you have official affairs, you need the holy decree of the Southern Tang Emperor to search the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and if you let the Heavenly Master's Mansion check itself, you need at least an official document from the Ministry of Rites."
"If you come here for me with a personal vendetta, I'll kill you, a thief, on the spot with you, one-on-one." Xu Yongzhi said.
When this sentence was released, the more than 100 Jianghu heroes on the opposite side were also in a commotion.
Xu Yongzhi is not an unknown person, the young owner of the Xu family in Shanzitang, the tall foot of Zhang Erdaoye, the best of the younger generation in the rivers and lakes, if the people of the world are open to free attack, Xu Yongzhi before the injury can be ranked in the top 50 in the whole rivers and lakes.
Zhou Zhuocheng is a military man, he is an expert, but if you want to test swordsmanship, there is a chance that you will die in the hands of Xu Yong.
The atmosphere was awkward for a while.
"No, no." Among the heroes, a middle-aged scribe of fifty-eight or nineteen years old came out to answer.
"Sun Yijin, the director of the Huanyu Library in Lower Jinling City," the scribe introduced himself, "Sun is not aggressive, and he is good at fighting." Brother Yongzhi, you can't help but misunderstand the festival. ”
"Oh, I want to hear about it." Xu Yongzhi said.
"The Jiedu envoy is a local parent official, an upright official, although he was born a military general, but he respects Shilin, which is a rare healthy force."
"Today is a gathering of our decent martial arts people, we represent the martial arts power of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and together we hope to help the Heavenly Master Mansion remove dirt and dirt, and cut some negative energy." Sun Yijin said.
"After hearing about this large-scale mass event, the Jiedu envoy mobilized soldiers and horses, and was responsible for maintaining local order, which was also his responsibility to defend the territory."
"In addition, there may be some friction in the negotiation with the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and at this time, there is an official government, so it is easy to judge and solve it."
"That's probably the case."
"Young man, I have always advocated complex martial arts, complex Southern Tang, not everyone in the world is like your fantasy, they are enemies of you, many people are actually healthy, and they want Datang to progress, everyone is right."
A group of rough people responded together, "Yes! Curator Sun is really the words of the old man who seeks the country. ”
This move is too clever, in a few words, Zhou Zhuocheng has changed from a planner to a conflict arbiter, if Xu Yongzhi accepts the rules of the other party's game, then he will face the situation of a mortal enemy as a referee.
If Xu Yongzhi does not accept the rules of the other party's game, the other party will rush up and beat him in groups, if the Heavenly Master's Mansion at that time makes a move, it will be a large-scale tragedy, if the Heavenly Master's Mansion does not make a move, it will be watching Xu Yongzhi be killed.
Sun Yijin, Sun Yijin, in fact, is an iron cable across the river, so that people can't retreat, and they can't advance.
What a vicious fake reader!
Xu Yongzhi saw through this, opened his mouth gently, and said something to Sun Yijin, and taught:
Split the road of life and death with both hands, and cut off the root of right and wrong with one knife!
