Night.

Gu Ming was routinely completing the daily tasks of the system in the house......

Suddenly, his heart moved, and he whispered out the window: "Since the girl is here, why don't you show up and see it?" ”

"The son is extraordinary, and the little girl is rude."

With a soft voice, the figure of Narcissus appeared in the room out of thin air, and bowed to Gu Mingying.

"Hehe, Narcissus is also extraordinary, she comes and goes freely...... It's just that I'm a little curious, why is the girl in the dust? Could it be that he was coerced? ”

Narcissus hesitated for a moment, and instead of answering directly, he asked, "Childe is from above?" ”

As she spoke, Narcissus raised her hand to the sky.

"Not really."

Gu Ming smiled and waved his hand.

"That'...... Dare to ask which disciple of the great god is Childe? ”

"Narcissus girl, the family teacher is idle and wild, and the name is inconvenient to mention to the public."

"So that's the case, the son's cultivation is absolutely incomparable, and the Lingshi must be even more unfathomable, I'm afraid it is the generation of the ancient gods......"

Gu Ming didn't answer, but smiled incomprehensibly.

From the point of view, in terms of qualifications, the Confucian sages and the Taoist sages were the same powerful people of the same era, and it is not inappropriate to call them ancient gods.

The two chatted for a while, and Narcissus couldn't help but say: "All along, the little woman's heart is like water, and it is difficult to find a sound for herself. I never thought that when I listened to Childe's song during the day, I was shocked.

I took the liberty to visit tonight, but I also wanted to communicate with Childe alone, and I hope Childe will give me advice. ”

"The narcissus girl is polite, in fact, I heard the beautiful sound of the girl's piano, and I couldn't help but improvise a song for a while."

Narcissus couldn't help but ask expectantly, "I wonder if the little girl is lucky enough to listen to the gong play again?" ”

"Why not?"

Gu Ming got up with a smile and walked to the desk and sat down, and then took out the guqin with a thought.

This guqin is produced by the system mall, although it is only cyan quality at present, but its quality has surpassed many famous folk pianos.

"Zheng Zheng Zheng ......"

Soon after, a melodious sound began to flow through the room.

A scene of winter going to spring, the earth recovering, and everything flourishing seems to slowly unfold in the sound of the piano......

Narcissus listened with fascination.

In the world, there are not many piano sounds that can make her ears, and there are only ones that can make her indulge in them.

The song is high and low, bosom friends are hard to find, and the high places are not cold...... It's a portrayal of her.

But now, she has finally found a soulmate, and finally someone can immerse her in the sound of the piano.

The end of the song.

Narcissus was still immersed in the aftermath and did not come back to his senses for a long time.

After a while, he stroked his palms and sighed: "What a song of spring and white snow, the son's piano skills are already superb, and the little woman is ashamed of herself as ......"

What Gu Ming played was a famous song that has been passed down through the ages: spring and white snow.

"Narcissus has humbled herself."

Narcissus said with a straight face: "No, childe, the little girl is not humble. Although the little girl thinks that her piano skills are unparalleled, she is still a little less charming than her son......"

Unconsciously, the two chatted until dawn.

"I'm sorry to disturb Childe, Narcissus will leave first, and then come and ask Childe for advice when I have the opportunity."

Narcissus saw that the window was white, so he got up apologetically and said goodbye.

"It doesn't matter, it's also a great pleasure in life to get a soulmate."

"Thank you, Childe, Narcissus farewell!"

Narcissus gave a blessing, and the figure disappeared in an instant.

Two days later, Narcissus came again in the night...... This time, she finally let down her guard and explained her identity to Gu Ming: Narcissus is not only her name, but also her essence.

Originally, she was a narcissus fairy in the sky, but she was punished by the Hundred Flowers Fairy for being framed by someone and demoted to mortal reincarnation.

But unexpectedly, after reincarnation I, she suddenly awakened the memory of her previous life, and even her mana was restored.

She didn't dare to reveal this matter to others, let alone go back to the Heavenly Palace, she just silently waited for the opportunity, waiting for the day when she would be recalled to the Heavenly Palace again.

"I see...... But why did the fairy stay in Fangfei Garden? ”

"That's because when the little girl awakened her memory, she was already in Fangfei Garden. Moreover, most of the girls in Fangfeiyuan are not selling their bodies, which can be regarded as a rare elegant place in the dust.

Qinglian comes out of the mud without staining.

Although the little woman is in Fangfei Garden, she is also clean and has a clear conscience.

If the little girl leaves Fangfei Garden for no reason, it may attract the attention of the above, so it is better to stay here. ”

"Makes sense......"

Gu Ming nodded thoughtfully.

Before leaving, Gu Ming gave a book of poems to Narcissus.

"Narcissus, this is a book of poems that I have written, and the girl can use it to pass the time in her spare time."

"Thank you, Childe!"

Narcissus was pleasantly surprised and accepted it.

……

After another two days, what happened in Fangfei Garden was spread by word of mouth, and almost spread throughout the literati circle of Chang'an City.

Including many powerful people in Beijing, they have also heard of it.

First, Narcissus is very famous, not only beautiful, but also proficient in music, no one can compare.

At the same time, she is also good at poetry and songs, and is recognized as a strange woman, and the entire Chang'an City is known to the dignitaries and nobles, down to the common people, and no one knows it.

Second, this matter also involves a celebrity: Yan Gong.

Yan Gong is an honorific title, his real name is Yan Zhi, a famous calligrapher recognized by the world, and was praised by the emperor as a sage of calligraphy.

All the magnates in Chang'an are proud of collecting Yan Gong's authentic works, and it is said that Emperor Taizong also collected a few.

In order to make profits, there are many people outside who specially imitate Yan Gong's handwriting and pretend to be genuine to cheat money, but they have also deceived many people.

However, those who were deceived were some vassals and elegant laymen, who could only look at the form, but not the god.

And that day in Fangfei Garden, someone actually compared Gu Ming's calligraphy with Yan Gong in public, how could it not attract everyone's attention?

Including Yan Zhi himself, there were also disciples who told him about it.

After Yan Zhi heard this, he just smiled faintly and did not express his opinion.

Perhaps, it is disdainful to express opinions.

After the news spread, Fangfeiyuan became the focus of attention for a while, and many children of powerful people and well-known literati came to see what was so strange about Gu Ming's calligraphy in person.

However, some people simply came to the door directly, wanting to see with their own eyes whether Gu Ming was a dragon crossing the river or a trick.

At noon that day, a group of four people came to the gate of the courtyard where Gu Ming lived.

"Teacher, this should be it."

The man who spoke was a young man in his twenties, and the teacher he called him was about fifty years old, and he seemed to have a somewhat elegant temperament.

Behind the two were two men dressed as subordinates.

"Hmmm......"

The middle-aged man answered, then turned his head and ordered, "Go and call the door." ”

"Yes!"

One of the subordinates answered, stepped forward and buckled the knocker a few times.

It didn't take long for a girl to open the door and ask, "Who are you looking for?" ”

The young man immediately stepped forward and handed over a name sticker: "This is my teacher's name sticker, and I came to visit Gu Gongzi today." ”

"Oh, please wait, the slave will go to report to the son."

Yahuan took the name sticker and hurriedly entered the hospital to report.

"Childe, someone wants to visit you, this is the other party's name sticker."

"Hmm."

Gu Ming took the name sticker and looked at it, and his face couldn't help but move.

Since coming to Chang'an, Gu Ming has also done some homework, and has a general understanding of the current literati circle in Chang'an City.

The name of the person who came was Yu Jingtong, and he was a well-known talent in Chang'an City.

Although there are no officials or positions, there are many disciples, and many of them are officials in the court.

Gu Ming pondered for a moment, and said, "Go, please invite the guests to the main hall of the backyard." ”

"Yes!"

Yahuan answered and walked out.

"Two guests, Childe is invited!"

Yahuan made an inviting gesture.

"Huh?"

The young man couldn't help frowning: "Your son-in-law didn't come out to greet him in person?" ”

"This ......"

"Ziyu, don't make a mistake!"

Yu Jingtong drank lightly.

"Yes, Teacher!"

In fact, Yu Jingtong has always been arrogant and high-minded, the reason why he has no official position is because he doesn't want to enter the court as an official, if he wants to, he is at least a second- or third-grade official.

However, not being an official does not mean that he does not have status.

Even when a group of senior officials from the DPRK and China met, they were polite to him and polite to him, after all, his reputation was very high.

The young disciple who followed him was named Xia Ziyu, and he was the prince of Xia Houfu.

The prince of the dignified mansion also has to behave in front of him, which shows how high his status and reputation are.

The reason why he took the initiative to visit Gu Ming this time was because one of his disciples was in Fangfei Garden that day and witnessed the whole process of Gu Ming playing the piano and composing poems.

After going back, I hurriedly found the teacher and told the truth, praising Gu Ming's poetry and calligraphy.

At that time, Yu Jingtong didn't take it to heart, and only thought that the students had less knowledge.

But I didn't expect that after hearing about it, I heard about it one after another, and it was quite magical to pass on Gu Ming's piano skills and calligraphy.

I went to Xia Hou Mansion this morning, and Xia Hou Ye actually mentioned this matter, saying that a disciple of Yan Gong personally went to Fangfei Garden to observe Gu Ming's calligraphy, and then left without saying a word.

Come to think of it, I'm afraid it's really outstanding.

Saying this, Yu Jingtong finally moved his heart, so he temporarily called Xia Ziyu to visit the door together, wanting to see it with his own eyes.

"Childe, the guest has arrived."

When Yahuan took Yu Jing and his party to the backyard, Gu Ming was already waiting in the courtyard.

However, he was dancing with a sword.

Hearing Yahuan's voice, he stepped forward with a smile and said, "Mr. Jiuwen's name, I can't greet him in person, I hope Mr. Don't blame." ”

"Childe is polite...... The old man watched Gongzi dance the sword just now, and he seems to have a lot of attainments in swordsmanship, which is really versatile and convincing. ”

"Mr. smiled, he has been adhering to the concept of Confucian sages, cultivating the mind with literature and cultivating the body with martial arts, so he has practiced a few tricks in his leisure time to strengthen his body."

"This ......"

Hearing this, Yu Jingtong was a little embarrassed.

Because, he has always only practiced literature, not martial arts.

Even sometimes I feel that practicing martial arts is a vulgar thing, which inevitably gives people a kind of wind and lakes.

As soon as Xia Ziyu saw the teacher's demeanor, coupled with his youthful vigor, his heart of life was born spontaneously, and he immediately arched his hand and said: "It's just right, I've also practiced swordsmanship for a few years, why don't you take this opportunity to have a fight?" ”

"Ziyu ......"

"It's okay!" Gu Ming smiled and waved his hand: "Since this little brother has this Yaxing, it doesn't hurt to have a discussion." ”

"But this sword has no eyes, in case it ......"

Yu Jingtong was still a little worried.

Gu Ming smiled: "Sir, don't worry, I will never hurt him in the slightest." ”

After all, Xia Ziyu is the prince of the Hou Ye Mansion, so he is inevitably a little arrogant, and he can't help but snort: "This son is not as weak as you think, so you don't have to worry, just go all out." ”

"Ziyu, don't talk wildly!"

Yu Jingtong couldn't help frowning and scolding.

Although he has never seen Gu Ming's true skills, but for some reason, Yu Jingtong has a strange feeling in his heart, he always feels that Gu Ming is unfathomable, and there is an indescribable temperament all over his body.

And this kind of temperament actually made him feel a sense of looking up to the mountains and a sense of self-shame.

This is a strange feeling that has never been felt before, so Yu Jingtong did not allow Xia Ziyu to make a mistake.

"Yes, Teacher!"

Xia Ziyu gave up his hand in response, but he still didn't think so.

Then he took a few steps back, drew his sword and opened the stance: "Please!" ”

"Please!"

Gu Ming smiled, and the long sword was slowly raised, and his movements were quite casual.

Then there was an eerie silence in the courtyard.

Although Yu Jingtong can also play two tricks, it is purely a showmanship, and he doesn't know swordsmanship at all.

Therefore, he couldn't understand what was going on between the two at all.

Xia Ziyu was eager to try and couldn't wait to start the battle before, but now he looks very strange, and he still maintains his previous gesture and does not move.

But his expression was rarely solemn, and he could even faintly see the sweat on his head.

As for Gu Ming, he also maintained the posture of raising the long sword before, and he couldn't see any special thing at all.

In fact, at this time, Xia Ziyu didn't seem to move, but he was as tired as if he had gone through a fierce fight.

He wanted to attack, but he didn't know where to start.

Although Gu Ming's movements were very casual, in Xia Ziyu's eyes, they suddenly became as tall as a mountain, giving him an unprecedented pressure, and even his legs were a little weak.

At this time, Xia Ziyu finally understood that he had met a real master.

The person who taught him swordsmanship back then said that a real master can crush the opponent's psychological collapse without using his hands.

Now, that's what he is.

Defeated before he could make a move.

However, he is the prince of the palace, how can he be defeated lightly?

"Look at the sword!"

Finally, Xia Ziyu gritted his teeth violently, and burst out with all his strength and survived with a sword.

"Bell!"

Gu Ming only moved slightly, and the sword in Xia Ziyu's hand had already taken off his hand and flew away.

"This ......"

Yu Jingtong couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Although he doesn't practice martial arts, he also knows that Xia Ziyu has been cultivating both civil and military since he was a child, and his talent is quite good and he works hard.

No matter how bad it is, it won't be defeated in one move, right?

"Hehe, Xiaoyou agreed!"

Gu Ming put away his sword and smiled.

Xia Ziyu took a deep breath, his face changed, and then he gave a long salute: "The kid has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and I hope that the seniors will not be blamed." ”

This guy is also sensible, he can afford to take it and put it down.

If this were to be replaced by some gentlemen, I am afraid that I would have been annoyed and angry for a long time.

"It's okay, it's good for young people to be motivated...... Two, please talk about it in the hall. ”

Gu Ming raised his hand and made an inviting gesture.

"Please!"

After some salutes, the three of them entered the hall.

As soon as he entered, Yu Jingtong stood in place like a sculpture.

Because there are several calligraphy and paintings hanging in the hall, there are Confucian sayings, there are poems, and there is a long scroll painting.

Look at the money that is all made by Gu Ming.

At that time, poetry flourished, and words did not flourish.

The origin of the word is derived from music, and the lyrics are filled in to match the music, so it is called the song word, long and short sentences, music, songs, and abbreviations are words.

However, Gu Ming's poem on the wall "Fortune Operator. Yongmei" opened Yu Jingtong's eyes......

"Outside the post by the broken bridge, lonely and ownerless.

It was already dusk and I was alone, and it was even more windy and rainy.

has no intention of fighting for spring, and a group of people are jealous.

Scattered into mud and dust, only fragrant as before. ”

Not only the beauty of the words, but also the graceful calligraphy.

Several characters, each of which has a different calligraphy, such as this Yongmei, which tends to be elegant, while another Yongzhi's poem, the pen is strong and powerful.

Look at that painting again...... It also impressed Yu Jingtong.

To say that Danqing is also good at it, although he is not as good as contemporary everyone, but he can be regarded as a famous master in Danqing's attainments.

But when I looked at Gu Ming's painting, I suddenly felt that my level was too far behind.

Even, even the painting saints of the present ...... I'm afraid it's also inferior by three points in the fine style.

This level of appreciation is still present in Jingtong.

The name of this painting is "Qingming Riverside Map", but it is limited to too small a place, so Gu Ming's Qingming Riverside Picture can only be regarded as a fragment and a part of it is drawn.

Moreover, unlike the Qingming Riverside picture in his previous life, Gu Ming painted the prosperous scene of Chang'an City.

At the same time, Xia Ziyu also became fascinated......

Now he finally understood why Gu Ming didn't come out to greet him in person, just with this calligraphy, this poem, and this painting...... If any of them are taken out, how many people in the world can compare?

Not to mention being good at all three...... No, there's the rhythm.

Narcissus's piano skills are recognized as unparalleled in the world.

In Fangfei Garden, Narcissus is the most special one, never meeting guests alone, and always following with two rings around her.

Even so, there are still many people who flock to it.

In addition to admiring her peerless beauty, of course, it is indispensable to listen to her peerless piano sound.

But that day, Gu Ming played a song in public, and even the narcissus girl had to bow down, which shows the high level of her rhythm.

How come such a strange person has never been heard of before?

For a while, the teacher and student seemed to forget that Gu Ming was still in the house, and kept lingering among a few calligraphy and paintings, as if they couldn't get enough of it.

Gu Ming didn't bother them either, and let the two of them admire it.

Of course, these calligraphy and paintings were deliberately hung by him, so it should be good to sell his reputation and reputation.

After all, if he didn't have fame, he wouldn't have been able to fulfill his wishes in this world at all.

Of course, he relied on absolute strength, not those who pretend to be high.

After a long time, Yu Jingtong finally came back to his senses and bowed to Gu Ming: "I really have no eyes in the bottom, but I didn't expect that the son would be the real hidden master in this Chang'an City, it's really disrespectful!"

Although Yu Jingtong is not talented, he has a little thin face, if the son wants to show his ambitions, he is willing to recommend the talent of the son to the imperial court. ”

"Sir, don't be polite!"

Gu Ming stretched out his hand to hold Yu Jingtong's hand, and at the same time replied: "I am very grateful for my kindness, but I have no intention of being an official in the court, I just hope to have the opportunity to communicate with everyone." ”

Official, Gu Ming has long been tired of it.

In the world of Liaozhai, he has climbed to the pinnacle of Renchen: the prince with a different surname.

In the Qin Mingyue World, he was a dignified national teacher.

As an official, he is bound to share his worries for the court in order to fulfill his duties. Therefore, he really doesn't want to be an official anymore.

It's better to be free in the wild.

"I see, since Childe has no intention of being an official, then when I have time, I will ask some friends to ask Childe for advice, and I hope that Childe will give advice."

"Mr. is serious, he can't talk about advice, as the so-called threesome must have my teacher, and it is also a great pleasure for everyone to get together and communicate with each other."

Yu Jingtong laughed heartily: "Hahaha, okay, the son is really a happy person." Then after I go back next time, I will make arrangements, and I will definitely invite Mr. to get together in the next few days, and please don't push Mr. back. ”

"Sir, please, I will go to the meeting when I decide."

"Ahem...... That, the junior Xia Ziyu, wants to ask the seniors for a question......"

Xia Ziyu's attitude changed greatly, and his address to Gu Ming also became a senior.

"Heh, what do you want to ask?"

"I used to compete with my seniors, and my seniors just raised their swords at will, but they made the juniors feel that they had nowhere to make a move...... This, is this really a gap in the realm of swordsmanship? ”

Gu Ming smiled and said, "If you can realize this, it means that your qualifications are not bad."

Of course, there are certain factors in the gap between realms, but the most important thing is your own heart.

If you have been thinking about the word swordsmanship and how to practice swordsmanship well, then you will not have much breakthrough in this life. ”

"Huh?" Xia Ziyu looked surprised: "This ...... Why is that? ”

"Swordsmanship is just a small skill, and it is difficult to become a big one. No matter how you practice, even if you practice to the extreme, it is only a false move.

To put it simply, a sword is a sword, a person is a man, and a technique is a technique.

If you want to be successful, then forget the word swordsmanship. ”

"Forget swordsmanship?"

"That's right, forget about swordsmanship and comprehend swordsmanship!"

What is ...... Kendo? Xia Ziyu was a little confused.

"It's up to you to figure this out...... In this way, I will give you a picture of calligraphy, and you can take it back for a good life, and if one day you understand it thoroughly, you will understand what kendo is. ”

Xia Ziyu was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, senior!" ”

"Wait a minute......

Gu Ming walked to the table, spread out a piece of white paper, lifted the pen, dipped it in ink, and then took a breath, moved the pen like a pen, and wrote a word almost the size of a basin through the pen and paper: "Sword".

"Hiss~"

Xia Ziyu looked at it, and he gasped, and his body subconsciously took two steps back.

"What a murderous aura!"

As soon as he heard this, Yu Jingtong also stepped forward and glanced at it curiously......

Then his face changed in fright, and he took a few steps back.

"This ...... Why is that? ”

Yu Jingtong looked surprised.

Gu Ming smiled and said, "If you can only feel its murderous aura, it means that you haven't comprehended the way of the sword at all." Ziyu, after going back, I will definitely gain from the word "Good Life". ”

"Thank you, senior!"

Xia Ziyu respectfully bowed his hand in response.

Although he couldn't understand it now, just by using this word to startle him, he understood that this was by no means as simple as a word, and there must be a secret of kendo hidden in it.

At this time, Yu Jingtong couldn't help sighing: "I can't imagine that the word Gongzi can make people feel murderous, looking at the world, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a second person." ”

"Sir, that's a mistake! There are many talented people in the world, but most of them are hidden. ”

"Taught...... It's ridiculous that a certain person used to be like a frog at the bottom of a well, but now when he sees his son, he knows that the sky is high and the earth is thick.

Childe, please accept a certain worship! ”

Yu Jingtong sincerely saluted Gu Ming.

Xia Ziyu also bowed.

"Mr. doesn't have to be polite, there is no end to learning, and it's just a drop in the ocean."

At this time, a maid walked to the door and whispered, "Childe, the banquet is ready." ”

"Got it...... It's already noon, so why don't you take a few drinks and chat while drinking? ”

"This ...... Haha, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, then it will bother the son. ”

A banquet is not too sumptuous, but it can be regarded as a happy guest of honor.

After enough wine and food, Yu Jingtong got up and said goodbye.

"Sir, wait a minute......"

Gu Ming pretended to go back to the room and took out three books: "These three books were written by myself in my spare time, and I asked someone to print some, one of which is a poem, a doctrine, and a strategy.

Mr. personally came to visit, and there were no gifts to give, so I presented these three books, and I hope that Mr. will not dislike it. ”

"Childe's words are serious, Childe's words are serious, Yu can't ask for it, you can't ask for it!"

Yu Jingtong took the book with some excitement and thanked him repeatedly.

"Okay, the two of you will walk slowly, and it won't be far away."

Looking at the back of Yu Jingtong and the two leaving, Gu Ming smiled faintly.

It seems that the plan is quite smooth, and I believe that it won't be long before he will become a hot celebrity in Chang'an City.

Moreover, it will slowly spread throughout the Tang Dynasty and even foreign lands.

This is Gu Ming's plan.

He wanted to take advantage of the momentum of the Tang Dynasty to promote Confucianism, once he established a firm foothold...... At that time, there will be the capital to compete with the gods and Buddhas of the heavens.

Gu Ming's gift of books to Narcissus and books to Yu Jingtong are both for the same purpose: to use the connections of the two to promote it.

In this condition that there is no network and all kinds of modern communication in the previous life, if you want to become famous, you can only rely on connections, through the mouth of the public, word of mouth, until it spreads all over the world......
