Chapter 290: Climbing the Mountain

Tianhu Mountain was originally a famous Fangwai holy place in Jindi.

On this mountain, far away, there have been two generations of heavenly masters, one generation, who was canonized as a national teacher by the contemporary Jin Emperor, and one generation, who was once regarded as a guest of the family by the contemporary Wen family, and even let his children worship him as the Taoist father.

Near,

The prince who had sat in the palace of Yanguo for nearly thirty years also walked down from this mountain.

Originally, Tianhu Mountain was full of incense, especially during the New Year's Festival, the believers and tourists who went up the mountain to worship were in an endless stream.

Zhou Whip has always remembered the original grand occasion of Tianhu Mountain, because his family lived at the foot of Tianhu Mountain, and later, he took out his family and borrowed some debts to buy a small wine shop under Tianhu Mountain.

There is a small town at the foot of Tianhu Mountain, of course, the scale is actually not large, much smaller than the average village.

There are less than 20 shops, there are inns, wine shops, teahouses, and those who sell incense and candles.

In those few festivals, there will inevitably be a lot of pilgrims, and naturally it will attract a lot of hawkers to come and take the opportunity to do some small business.

Zhou Whip used to be a small trader, and he often came to Tianhu Mountain to set up a stall, and every time he was charged a booth fee, he would scold this group of outsiders in his heart for being so greedy for money;

When he finally managed to set up a liquor shop, and then encountered the influx of other vendors during the festival, he would hate why the outsiders didn't charge those vendors more money, and let those small vendors sell food steal their own business.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, on that day, the Hou Ye went up the mountain, the palace master was relieved, a fire broke out on Tianhu Mountain, and the ancestral court was burned.

It is true that the mountain is not high, there are immortals, and after there are no people from Tianhu Mountain on the mountain, here, it has really become the foot of the mountain.

Not only will the small traders no longer come to grab business, but even the shops next to him have long since stopped, but Zhou Whip still lives here with his daughter-in-law and son.

Because in order to take down this wine shop, the original house of his family has been sold, and if he does not continue to stay here, his family of three will not even have a place to stay.

Business, that is, to do it improvisedly, and do not deliberately buy any fresh food, basically what you eat at home will be sold along the way, but wine, because it can be saved, there are still a lot of previous unsold out, you can continue to sell.

Every once in a while, Zhou Whip will also take his wife to the terraced fields on the mountain, the ancestral garden of Tianhu Mountain is gone, and the fields that once belonged to Tianhu Mountain are barren.

Zhou Whip planted some things, no one collected taxes and no one cared about it, but it could also add a bite of food to the family.

In addition, it was supposed to renew the shop fee this year, but naturally no one came to collect it, so I thought about it, it was also good, it was just a shop, and now at least I have a house.

Today, Zhou Whip originally planned to go to the terraced fields on the mountain to have a look, but in the morning, two groups of guests came.

The first guests were a scholar, a woman, and a monk.

Very recognizable,

Because a scholar is a scholar at a glance, a woman is a woman at a glance, and a monk is a monk at a glance.

They asked for three bowls of pimple soup, which was supposed to be the lunch of Zhou Whip's family of three, but how could there be any reason not to sell it?

This second group of guests is a drunkard and a bookkeeper.

The drunkard's face was red in the morning, and as soon as he sat down, he shouted for Zhou Whip to drink.

The bookkeeper carried an abacus with him, put it aside, didn't ask for food, but took out a cake from his bag and asked Zhou Whip for a bowl of noodle soup to eat.

During this period, Zhou Whip's daughter-in-law held a small jar of wine and sent it to the table.

The drunkard didn't know if he had drunk too much or if it was his nature, so he pointed to the big cheek of Zhou Whip's daughter-in-law and said:

"Turtle turtle, you guys open a shop with no business in this barren mountain and wilderness, and your mother-in-law can still follow you, tsk."

If you do business, you can't be angry casually, Zhou Whip's daughter-in-law glared directly at the drunkard and scolded:

"Shut your dog mouth and drink your horse urine."

Scolding is scolding,

But the scolding is full of style,

Don't be angry.

After his daughter-in-law goes down to take care of the children,

Zhou Whip smiled and said:

"My name is just one word, whip, no way, God appreciates food, and the work below is big, my father called me at the beginning:

Donkey, donkey.

Later, when he wanted to correct his name, he simply made his own decisions and took a whip. ”

When the drunkard heard this, he laughed,

Road:

"I have it, I believe it, I believe it, I don't compare it with you, I don't compare it with you."

"Would you like something more to drink?" Zhou Whip asked with a smile.

"Let's make do with it." The drunkard also knows that there is nothing good to get in this wine shop.

"You wait."

Zhou Whip went to the back kitchen, mixed a wild vegetable by himself, and made two salted duck eggs that were originally prepared for his son, stopped when he came out of the back kitchen, and said to his mother-in-law:

"Daughter-in-law, steam some more rice and scrape the bacon too."

"What's the matter, another visitor?"

"No, but when the business is not smooth, there is no one in this guest, but if he comes, he will definitely come after two waves."

"Got it."

Zhou Whip went out with cold vegetables and salted duck eggs, and immediately saw three people coming down from a carriage.

The man at the front, dressed in white, held a handful of objects wrapped in cloth;

Behind him, followed by a man and a woman, both young men and women.

The man is dressed in a black silk dress with a fishing pendant hanging from his waist, and the woman is wearing a purple long skirt and a plum hairpin on her head, with a round figure and a delicate face.

"Yo, three guest officers, what are you going to eat?"

The drunkard immediately laughed and scolded:

"And ask people what to eat, what else do you have in this store? It's just what you have, anyway, I just want to send the temple of the five organs. Oh, but the wine here is still okay, the wine in the Miaozhuang wine shop in Litian City is a little more mixed with water than the restaurant in Litian City, but after all, at the foot of this barren mountain, it is okay. ”

"That's not it, what we sell here is not as expensive as the restaurant in Litian City, and this water is like the sweat I sweated on the way back with a car by myself."

Zhou Whip is a flexible person.

"Hahaha, you kid."

The drunkard picked up the wild vegetables with chopsticks, put them in his mouth, crisp and refreshing, nodded, and said:

"This dish is well mixed, not bad."

"That's not it, the wild vegetables at the foot of Tianhu Mountain are also stained with aura."

At this moment, the scholarly man from the first batch of guests spoke:

"Now where does the aura come from on this Tianhu Mountain, I think, it's ghostly."

When the drunkard heard this, he said "hehe" twice and took a sip of wine.

Zhou Whip walked up to the new guests, and by this time, the three guests had already taken their seats.

"Guest officer, there is not much food in the shop, why don't you have three bowls of lard bibimbap? How many more side dishes have you poured? The small shop is in poor condition, so it's really not a good thing to go. ”

Uncle Zheng, who was dressed in civilian clothes, nodded with a smile and said:

"You can watch it."

"Okay, guest officer, you wait."

Zhou Whip went to the back kitchen again.

And at this time,

The drunkard's gaze fell on the cloth-wrapped sword beside the Sword Master, and he couldn't help but say:

"Heh, what a good thing, I'm willing to wrap it in such a good material."

The Juggernaut ignored him, sat down, closed his eyes and rested.

And the scholar who had spoken out before stood up, walked over, and said:

"Looks like it's supposed to be a sword, right? Miss Ding, he's just like you, he's also a swordsman. Since it is wrapped in such a delicate thing, it is also a good sword, can you borrow a light and let me open my eyes and enjoy it? ”

Juggernaut still ignored him.

The sword was wrapped in cloth because it was called Long Yuan.

Seeing that the Sword Saint didn't care, the scholar frowned slightly, and his tone suddenly became much stiffer, and said:

"My little sister is also a sword lover, please sit down and give face."

"Yo yo yo, face face, away from home, in the wilderness, face, how much money is it worth? What's more, you didn't put the brand around your neck, who knows how many pounds and taels you can weigh in your face? ”

The drunkard took the bowl and took a big sip,

Then he wiped his mouth,

Road:

"Later life, this table, but three nobles, the son in black clothes, has both form and spirit, and there is a touch of nobility on his body, which is by no means an ordinary person."

The scholar smiled,

Road:

"Can't I see it?"

The clothes on these three people are not good.

People rely on clothes and horses to saddle, and in this era, what clothes are worn on the body can clearly reflect the identity level of that person.

"Oh, you only know one and don't know the other, this man in black not only has a noble spirit, but also a free and easy energy that is at ease when he encounters, even if he enters this shabby wine shop, even if he sits on this dirty stool, he is also at ease.

If it really enters the sea, it will turn into a dragon, and when it enters the stream, it will turn into a fish.

Or, it is from an extremely wealthy family, nourished by luxury, and not dry;

Or, it is to rely on your own hard work to achieve a high position.

The former, you can't afford to mess with; The latter, hehe, a person with ability, is more unprovoked than a person with a family background. ”

"Hahahaha."

When the scholar heard this, he laughed loudly,

Road:

"You're so strange, I just want to see a sword, aren't you asking, why, you were born by looking, you have to give me so many twists and turns?

Coincidentally,

The little master who accompanied me was also proficient in the art of physiognomy, and he didn't say anything, you have been here for so long. ”

The drunkard shook his head,

Road:

"This little master has a wisdom root, but how to say it, looking at the face, where is it really learned by meditating and chanting scriptures in the temple? Isn't it visible to people?

Looking at the human form, looking at its qi, and then looking at the whole body, plus half a year after entering the WTO, everyone has seen a lot and experienced a lot of things, so I dare to say that I have dabbled in the art of looking at physiognomy;

The rest are all smiling and generous. ”

When the monk who was eating the pimple soup heard this, he immediately got up, faced the drunkard, and clasped his hands together:

"Amitabha, poor monk, taught."

The scholar was a little reluctant, and continued to ask:

"Then you say, why do you think I can't afford to mess with me? Why do you think that I can't look at this sword? ”

The drunkard stretched out his hand and pointed to the woman sitting there,

Laughed;

"The beauty is on the side, the heart is anxious, and the anxiety is born, you need to know the real arowana and shrimp, do not show its might, Kunpeng fish and birds, do not spread its wings;

Look at it,

Thou hast spoken so rudely and disgustingly,

The gentleman in white, has he ever said anything?

The man in black, but he still had a smile on his face. ”

"Hehehe."

Uncle Zheng was really amused, and it happened that at this time, Zhou Whip first sent the teapot and tea bowl, and after confessing, he went back to the kitchen to work.

Xiong Liqing poured a bowl of water for Uncle Zheng,

Uncle Zheng picked up the tea bowl,

He gave a false salute to the drunkard.

"Ouch."

The drunkard got up in a panic, held the wine bowl in both hands, hunched his waist, and said with a smile:

"You please, you please."

Uncle Zheng took a small sip and put down the tea bowl.

The drunkard drank a bowl of wine, with the bowl facing down, signaling that he had nothing left, and then re-seated.

And at this time,

The woman also unconsciously set her eyes on Uncle Zheng, and then fell on Xiong Liqing.

Xiong Lijing is not the kind of stunning beauty, but she has a good temperament, and this temperament makes the heroine feel slightly unhappy, because at this point, she feels that she is completely compared.

The scholar shook his head and said:

"Since you are out of the door, you naturally can't talk about it, this sword, I really want to see it today."

The drunkard touched his beard and said:

"I can't see it, I can't see it. Some people live by the door, and the door is their only reliance, and opening their mouths is their ancestors and closing their mouths is how their fathers are;

Some people are more comfortable when they go out.

The same door, some people think it is a door panel, others think it is a prison.

Chickens and dolphins are raised behind the door panels, and tigers are locked up in the prison. ”

"Hey, you drunkard, only talk about him, why don't you talk about me?"

"You, well, I can't see it."

"If you can't see it, why do you conclude that I can't see it?"

"Cheng, then I'll tell you again, the beautiful woman next to the man in black, the hairstyle is Yunliu style, it is a noble hairstyle, and what is rubbed on her body is perfume, and the market price is comparable to gold; When he walked in, he had a graceful gait, which was by no means comparable to the favored maid of a rich family, the former only had his jewels, and the latter, a real noblewoman, could have such a dignified demeanor.

and look at sitting in this shabby wine shop, clearly disgusted with the dirty and broken here, but still sit with it;

The tea bowl is sent, with his sleeve kissing it, and then pouring tea into the bowl to serve the son, this is not only love, but also like fear.

His companion is like this, so what about this man in black?

Remind you a little more,

When this son came in before, his steps were amplitude and his shoulders were slightly slanted, which was caused by riding a war horse, and on the war horse, he often needed to flash and move, and made a dojo in the screw shell, so he had this habit;

Looking at the previous time when Gongzi picked up the tea bowl and drank tea, although the position of the tiger's mouth and palm was trimmed, there was still a layer of fine light cocoon.

Bow horses and long knives,

This son must be a man in the ranks.

again

This son is not wearing armor, but traveling in plain clothes, but he is still dressed generously and decently, golden, not wearing armor, he doesn't want to be eye-catching, he doesn't want to be simple, but he is comfortable and comfortable, he doesn't want to be eye-catching, but he is not seen, such a bearing, hehe.

At present, there are many leaders of the Jin army, but the Yan people are the real masters of the land of the Three Jin Dynasty now, and the generals from the Jin people basically have to live with their tails between their legs now.

So

This man in black must be a nobleman of the Yan Kingdom. ”

Saying,

The drunkard clasped his hands together and said:

"Your Excellency."

Uncle Zheng was noncommittal, and he was wondering in his heart whether this drunkard really guessed his identity.

"Yandi noble? General of the Yan Kingdom? Hahaha. ”

The scholar suddenly laughed,

laughed so much that tears were about to flow out,

Road:

"In this way, I can really see this sword this time."

The drunkard stopped talking, but just looked at the scholar coldly.

The scholar turned around, looked at Zheng Fan, and said:

"Take this sword for me."

Uncle Zheng put his hands together, supported his chin, looked at the scholar, and said:

"Why?"

The bookkeeper who was sitting next to the drunkard stood up suddenly,

Time

The monk who had just sat down also stood up suddenly.

The qi on the two people collided in an instant.

The bookkeeper turned around with the abacus, and the abacus pushed forward.

At the same time, the young monk also smashed the Buddhist beads on his wrist, and after colliding together, there was no sound, but the two were attracted to each other and stuck together.

however

At this moment,

The young monk stared at him and let out a low snort.

"Buzz!"

Mr. Bookkeeper was forcibly pushed down and sat back in his chair.

The young monk took advantage of the situation and pulled the Buddhist beads, and even took the other party's abacus into his hand, fiddling with it casually.

The drunkard narrowed his eyes,

Admired:

"The double cultivation of Buddha and martial arts, one is positive and one is strange, which can't help but remind me of the Nanhou of Dayan.

Back then,

Outside of Gyeonggi in the Jin Kingdom,

Nanhou once fought with the Jindi Sword Saint, and the Sword Saint was defeated!

I went to that forest afterwards to look for the place of battle, checked the traces, and found that Nanhou was not only physically strong, but also good at the art of extraterrestrialism.

Therefore, I infer that:

The defeat of the Sword Saint was not a crime of war, but Nanhou regarded the duel between the two sides as a confrontation between the two armies, and he had a backup move, so he won.

This little master, a double cultivator of Buddhism and martial arts, can't say that he will be able to embark on the same path as that Nanhou in the future. ”

"Amitabha."

The young monk recited the Buddha's name, waved his hand, and the abacus fell back to the bookkeeper, who reached out to take it and put it back on the table.

The drunkard pointed to the bookkeeper and scolded with a smile:

"If you don't learn more fighting skills, I'm embarrassed now."

This bookkeeper should be a qi refiner, in the first round of confrontation, he fought with the young monk with the art of the outside of the square, but then, when the monk revealed his martial arts physique, it became a force to reduce ten meetings, and directly pressed it back.

Seeing the end of the brief conflict here,

The scholar looked at Zheng Fan again,

Asked:

"Why did you just ask me?"

Uncle Zheng nodded.

"Okay, then I'll tell you, in fact, we are all the way, and it's normal that you don't know me, because I don't usually show up."

As he spoke, the scholar took out a token from his arms and showed it to Uncle Zheng,

At the same time:

"I am,

The first guest under the command of Dayan Pingye Bo,

Zheng Fanli. ”

Good night.
