Chapter 1 Two people who met for the first time
In 1981, the hinterland of Wugong Mountain, Jiangxi. In front of a cave hidden in the blood-red woods, a man dressed in white, looking at a man in his twenties with white hair, squinted his eyes and glanced at the smiling fat man opposite. In an angular tone, he said slowly: "It's a waste of effort for you to find here, but I'm really curious where you got your confidence, and I will definitely follow you to the polling bureau." Just because you say your name is highlight? You're not my son, so why should I worry about you. ”
"It's just a title, as long as you can go back with me, you can call me anything. Even if it's your surname Wu Liang, as long as you are willing, there is no problem for us to recognize a godfather" When he spoke, the fat man named Gao Liang smiled, and then took out a bulging brown paper bag from his pocket, respectfully handed it to the white-haired man, and after looking at the man in front of him to take it, he continued: "Do you recognize this object?" In order to find it, my little polling bureau hasn't done anything else in the past two years......"
When the white-haired man touched the paper bag, he already knew what was inside. After a moment of silence, he pulled out a fist-sized jade figure from within.
The small jade statue is carved vividly, which is exactly what this young man looks like. The white-haired man's eyes were a little distracted when he looked at the jade face, as if his thoughts, which had been silent for many years, suddenly emerged again.
The white-haired young man's reaction was expected by Gao Liang, and he didn't speak, just stared at the man in front of him with a smile. It wasn't until the white-haired man came back to his senses that Gao Liang grabbed his hair with a smile, stared at this person's eyes and continued: "Mr. Wu Mian, I heard that there seems to be a legend about you about this ice jade statue. For example, whoever can give it to you, you will grant him a wish or something, and I don't know if it is really ......."
"Don't talk nonsense, I admit it." Before Gao Liang could finish speaking, the white-haired man Wu Mian had already interrupted his words, and after glancing at the fat man in front of him with the white of his eyes, he continued: "If your wish is to let me go to that polling bureau, then you have fulfilled this wish." But let me remind you that this oath works only for you. If you are not there that day, the oath will be automatically lifted, and even if your poll bureau collapses in front of me, I will not delay for a second longer. ”
"As long as you don't do it yourself, I'll try to live two more years. Mr. Wu Mian, look at ......" After seeing Wu Mian let go, Gao Liang also secretly sighed. Just halfway through this sentence, the young man named Wu Mian had already interrupted him: "Don't say it so politely, but I plan to be born here." Since you want me to re-enter the WTO, then you have to make a complete decision before that. ”
When he said this, Wu Mian paused, and he turned around to take one last look at the cave where he couldn't remember how long he had been staying. Then he waved his arm in the direction of the cave very casually, and just when Wu Mian's arm fell, the cave in front of him suddenly "Boom!" "Collapsed.
When the startled Gao Liang came back to his senses, Wu Mian turned around, looked at the stunned fat man in front of him, and said slowly: "From now on, Wu Mian has disappeared with this cave." Since you are blind and dare to take me into the world again, it will be like a new life. You even took my name in this life. ”
Rao is bright and shrewd, and he was taken aback by such a perverse proposal. At that moment, he blinked his eyes and said tentatively with a smile: "I haven't eaten much meat recently, and my ears are a little hot." I was stunned to let me name you, what a coke you said......"
"Your ears are not deaf," Wu Mian continued in his characteristic tone, as if he despised everything in the world, "Of course, it's not impossible to call me 'Hey' without a name. ”
After confirming that Wu Mian asked him to rename him, Gao Liang smiled bitterly, and a word popped up before he could think of it: "Hey......"
"Are you calling me?" The white-haired Wu Mian glanced at Gao Liang coldly, and when he said this, a layer of hoarfrost instantly hung on the blood-red trees around him. After Gao Liang shuddered, he immediately changed his tone and said with a smile: "Hey...... What the...... You don't have to say any more, I get it. But I don't even dare to change the name and surname to you, otherwise, your noble surname will still be retained, and it will be changed to benevolence and righteousness...... It's not good, so virtuous...... I don't mean that, or it's called Peifu, this seems to have been called ......"
Although Gao Liang has a lot of eyes, he didn't think in advance of giving this white head a name, and he didn't have any preparations, and due to the restrictions of the times, he didn't study much, let alone think of a name with any special meaning.
At the moment, Gao Liang could only say the popular names in his hometown, but the white-haired surname was awkward to match these names, and the more he said Wu Mian's face, the more ugly it became. In the end, Gao Liang himself felt that he couldn't go on. At this time, I heard Wu Mian say coldly: "I can listen to your nonsense until now, I admire my good temper a little." But if you still want to continue to test my bottom line, then be careful, maybe you will have to say goodbye to this life in the next sentence. ”
These words were said slowly, but listening to Wu Mian's ears, it made this fat man who was three hundred pounds only break out in a cold sweat. Finally, he gritted his teeth, looked at the white-haired man in front of him and said, "Wu Rendi, do you think this is appropriate?" Even if it's a nickname, it sounds smooth......"
However, the three words that Gao Liang thought of were another meaning in Wu Mian's ears: "Wu Rendi...... Well, that's kind of a name, too. You saved yourself this time......"
As he spoke, it was already dark, and Wu Rendi, who had changed his name, looked up at a fiery cloud in the western sky that looked like a phoenix, and muttered: "The days go by so fast, I almost forgot what it was like before I was born......
In the tenth year of the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty (210 BC), the first emperor ordered Xu Fu, a generous teacher, to lead 3,000 boys and girls to cross Penglai Xianshan in order to seek the elixir of immortality. In order to achieve success, Xu Fu fasted and prayed for blessings for 100 days. On the last day of the prayer, the First Emperor sent Prime Minister Li Sidai to the Son of Heaven to the residence of Xu Fu on the shore of the Bohai Sea, and gave the Son of Heaven a sword, a jade recipe and a bronze mirror to seek good fortune.
When Li Si arrived at the shore of the Bohai Sea, it was already evening, and the ceremony of praying for blessings that day had ended. I just sent the eldest disciple Guangren to greet him. This Guangren is also very strange, he looks less than thirty years old, but he is full of white hair, and he is dressed in a wide clothes, which is even more obvious and a little old-fashioned. Led by Guangren, Li Si and the others slowly entered Xu Fu's dojo.
At this time, the evening class of the dojo had been completed, and the generous master Xu Fu sat on the ground in the center, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, and looked down at the content written on the bamboo slips by the dim oil lamp, and there were three people standing behind him, three people, two men and one woman, but they couldn't tell their age, and they were all about twenty to forty years old just by looking at their appearances, but they all had white hair like Guangren. In front of Xu Fu, there were twenty or thirty close disciples standing on both sides with their hands down, and although there were many people in the dojo, they were quiet, without the slightest sound.
In front of Xu Fu, there was a white-robed monk wearing a high crown on his head. Li Si recognized this person, this person was the chief of the palace who served the First Emperor to consume the pill, and according to the custom, he came to inform the Great Master of the First Emperor's progress in taking the pill and the body's reaction after taking the pill.
Sure enough, I saw Xu Fu close the bamboo slip, looked up at the chief manager of Fang Shi and said, "Your Majesty after taking the pill, do you have any symptoms of drowning?" The chief manager of Fang Shi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Yes, on the day that Dafang Shi left Xianyang, His Majesty the First Emperor had a drowning disease, but Lord Zhao Gao said that this is the medicine of the elixir, but it only discharged a false fire, so there is no need to alarm Dafang Shi ......for this."
Before the manager's words fell, Xu Fu's face had already sunk. With a "snap", he threw the bamboo slip to the ground: "Zhao Gao...... What is he? When did a eunuch become a priest? Symptomatic ...... Whether he is a deer or a horse can't tell the difference, know what a medicine is? Speaking of this, Xu Fu paused for a moment, stared at the chief Fang Shi, and when he spoke again, his tone was gloomy a few times: "Do you think that if you change my Dan prescription and change Your Majesty's medicine stone syndrome record, I won't know anything?" ”
As soon as Xu Fu said these words, the air in the entire preaching hall suddenly froze. The head of Fang Shi's face turned white with fright, and he fell to the ground, kowtowing to Xu Fu who kept stopping, and said: "Master Fang is merciful, this is all Lord Zhao Gao's idea, and the small officials and lowly officials really dare not disobey." Dafang Shi, you are merciful, Dafang Shi ......"
At this time, Li Si had been watching at the door for a long time, he didn't let Guangren go in to report, just looked at the scene in front of him with a sneer. After the head of the Fang Shi frightened the stall, he sneered, walked into the dojo with his hands behind his back, looked at Xu Fu and said directly: "Is this how Master Dafang treats guests?" Although Li Mou is not talented, he also represents His Majesty the First Emperor, so there is no need to use Zhao Gao to give Li a horse, right? ”
Suddenly, one more person spoke, and almost everyone in the dojo looked at Lis. Xu Fu smiled slightly, his body bowed slightly in the direction of Li Si, which was considered a half-salute, and then said: "Treat the Prime Minister slowly, I was originally going out to greet the adults with courtesy, but I didn't dare to leave the place of prayer for a hundred days, and I hope the adults will forgive me" Saying, Xu Fu waved his hand, pointed to the futon in front of him and said: "My lord, please sit" The chief priest who was originally prostrate in that position climbed back a few steps and gave up his position.
Seeing Li Si sit down reluctantly, Xu Fu smiled slightly, took a clay pot from his side, and said, "It's not as good as Xianyang here, there is really nothing to entertain adults." That is, this sweet wine mixed with honey water can still be considered to enter the throat, my lord, please ......" Xu Fu said that he had already raised the clay pot. Dafang Shi personally poured wine, which was unheard of before today. Even if he drank with the First Emperor, he had never heard of Xu Fu holding the pot, and although Li Si was the prime minister, he still hurriedly took the wine glass next to him to the bottom of the clay pot.
The pale yellow wine syrup was slowly poured into the water glass, seeing that the wine was getting fuller and fuller, but Xu Fu didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, Li Si raised his eyelids and glanced at this generous master coldly, and didn't say anything to stop it, just waiting for Xu Fu's joke to be seen when the wine was full.
To Li Siwan's surprise, Xu Fu did not stop when the wine was full. With the tilt of his hand, a steady stream of sweet wine poured into Lis's glass. The wine in the cup was more than twice as high as the wine glass, but not a drop spilled out, Li Si was shocked in his heart, but he had been sitting on the position of prime minister for many years, and he had already been unsurprised by anything, although he was surprised in his heart, but his face was not the slightest revealed.
At this time, Xu Fu continued to pour the wine as if he didn't see the wine full. In the blink of an eye, the wine was several times higher than the wine glass, like a nine-story pagoda, trembling and looking at the time to tilt down, but Li Si was stunned, and his hands began to tremble slowly, but not a drop of wine splashed out.
It wasn't until half a pot of sweet wine was completely poured into Li Si's wine glass that Xu Fu stopped, looked at Li Si and said with a smile: "This kind of sweet wine has to be drunk in one breath to be happy, please use it." ”
After the shock, he was furious, and Li Si couldn't care about the prestige of the prime minister, so he suddenly stood up from the futon, stared at Xu Fu and said, "Although Li Si is not talented, he is also a disciple of Gou Zi and a disciple of a saint." Why would the generous master use such a trivial trick as illusion to test Li! With that, Li Si raised the wine glass high and slammed it towards the ground. Syllable! There was a crisp sound, and the glass was shattered.
Xu Fulisi looked at each other, and neither of them spoke. All of a sudden, no one in the dojo dared to speak out to persuade them, and the atmosphere instantly became tense. It wasn't until half an hour later that Xu Fu smiled slightly, looked at the prime minister of the Great Qin Dynasty and said, "My lord, you say this is an illusion?" Li Si sneered and said, "Not bad! Zi is silent, and the power is confused, but if the generous master deceives me with illusion. Then Li can only report to His Majesty according to the truth and ask His Majesty to adjudicate. ”
After Li Si finished saying a few words, he didn't expect Xu Fu to laugh, and then looked at the Prime Minister and said, "If your lord thinks that it was an illusion just now, then you can see what it is?" When the last word came out of his lips, Xu Fu waved his hands, and a bowl-thick fire snake burst out of thin air from his hand, and after the fire snake spun around in mid-air, it opened its fangs and galloped straight towards Li Si's front door.
Li Si hurriedly raised his hands to protect his head in horror, when he saw that the prime minister was about to die in the mouth of the fire snake. Xu Fu silently changed his gesture, and the moment the fire snake was about to touch Li Si's face, it turned into countless sparks and splashed around, and then disappeared without a trace. However, the hair on the prime minister's forehead was still slightly burned, and the whole preaching hall was filled with a scorching smell.
Looking at Li Si's embarrassed appearance, Xu Fu said with a light smile: "May I ask the Prime Minister, do you still think it is an illusion now?" Li Si stared at Xu Fu, and after slowing down for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you let the sun and moon turn upside down, the stars are dull." It's just an illusion to deceive the world! It's a pity that Li is not a fool. Dafang Shi has found the wrong object this time! ”
After speaking, Li Si flicked the sleeves of his robe and turned around to leave. But at the moment when he turned around, Xu Fu had already appeared behind Li Si. Li Si was stunned for a moment, he couldn't figure out how Xu Fu could appear behind him in a moment, just when the prime minister was stunned, Xu Fu's hand had already been raised, and his hand was like a knife, and under the eyes of everyone, he inserted it into Li Si's heart.
Li Si was completely defenseless that Xu Fu would be like this, he watched Xu Fu's right hand insert into his chest, and the strange thing was that Li Si's chest did not shed a drop of blood. Lees could even feel the hand scratching at his body, as if he was looking for something. Li Si wanted to retreat and break free from Xu Fu's control, but his limbs were stiff and unable to move, as if he was no longer under his control.
A moment later, when Xu Fu's hand withdrew from Li Si's chest, there was a bloody heart in his palm. This heart was beating in Xu Fu's hand, and at this time, Li Si also felt that something was missing in his chest, and a sense of oppression hit, he stared at the heart in Xu Fu's hand with wide eyes, and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, they could only turn into "quack" syllables popping out of his throat.
Xu Fu's gaze shifted from holding the heart of the ground in his hand to Li Si's face, Gege smiled, and said to Li Si word by word: "Prime Minister, is this also an illusion?" When the last word came out of his lips, Xu Fu suddenly grabbed his heart. The beating heart is clenched to a standstill. Li Si felt his heart tighten suddenly, and then the whole person shrank into a ball, and wanted to reach out to grab the heart, but before his hand could be stretched out, he had fallen to the ground uncontrollably, shaking like a convulsion.
Xu Fu looked at Li Si coldly, and repeated what he had just said again: "Does the Prime Minister still think that this is also an illusion?" ”。 Li Si wanted to speak but couldn't make a sound anyway, and finally he used all his strength to shake his head slightly.
Xu Fu smiled slightly, and pinched his heart hard in his hand. With the stimulation of an external force, the heart, which had stopped beating, started beating again. Xu Fu squatted in front of Li Si and returned the heart to Li Si's chest. After this toss, Li Si was sweating profusely, wetting three or four pieces of clothes inside and out, looking like he had been drenched in heavy rain.
Wu Mian, a friend of women, wishes the great March 8 Women's Day a happy holiday
