Chapter 38: A Night Visit to Guwen
Hearing Pan Long's transmission, Gu Wen was slightly stunned, but did not look up. Instead, as if nothing had been heard, continue to concentrate on business.
Before he knew it, Shen Shi was about to come to an end (five o'clock in the afternoon), and seeing that the sun was already in the west, he finished all his work, put away the stall, and made a wheelbarrow, with a strap on his back, and pushed the cart out of the city like an ordinary poor craftsman.
In July and August, the gates of Nanxia City were closed around four o'clock in the afternoon (six o'clock in the afternoon). Once the gate is closed, you can only pass through the side door. No entry or exit is allowed unless approved.
An ordinary craftsman, of course, couldn't afford to get a special approval, so he could only hurry up and leave.
At two o'clock in the afternoon (half past five in the afternoon), he lined up in a long line out of the city and slowly walked out of Nanxia City. Pushing the dilapidated cart, we headed further south.
The travel expenses in Nanxia City are very high, and poor craftsmen like this generally choose to stay in nearby places such as Guanmen Village and Wuli Village. Or simply go to the post house for the night, and even save this money.
During this time, the weather is relatively warm, and the night is not cold. As long as you can fill your stomach, it is not impossible to lay a thick cloth on the ground and curl up overnight.
Gu Wen pushed the wheelbarrow and walked slowly, walked through Guanmen Village, and then walked through Wuli Village, walked for most of the hour, until he reached Shili Village, and then stopped and went to the village to stay.
There are many people like him.
Shili Village is a little far away from Nanxia City, and ordinary businessmen will not stay here. Only those travelers who were too late to make it into the city stayed here.
It's a little embarrassing not to go forward or backward here, and it's not easy to do the post house. There is a big shed in the field, although the four walls are leaking, the roof can also keep out the rain, the most rare thing is that the ground is specially raised, and there are fire pits and grass piles, for people who go out, they can sleep on the soft thatched piles, which is already a good accommodation condition.
Gu Wen talked to Li Zheng and gave him five cents. Li Zheng let him into the hut and brought him a bowl of hot batter and two pancakes.
This batter is a bit runny, and there are a lot of wild vegetables in it, so it doesn't taste very good. But with a hard pancake, it can be regarded as a meal.
Gu Wen finished eating slowly, returned the dishes and chopsticks, and then used a thick cloth to cushion the grass and sit on the cloth to rest.
No matter how you look at it, he is just a down-and-out craftsman, and no one can see that he is actually a great master who is a unity of heaven and man, and he can raze this small village to the ground with a stomp of his feet.
Seeing that it was getting late and late, soon the family fell asleep. Gu Wen hadn't slept yet, and sat there in a daze.
Suddenly, with a sigh, Pan Long pushed open the door of the shack and walked in.
"Ancient seniors, why are you suffering?" he sighed, "with your skills, even if you want to experience life, you can't really be so hard, right?"
Gu Wen looked at him and said calmly: "Our Mo family advocates simplicity, and this kind of life is not bitter for me. ”
"You are also the great master of the unity of heaven and man, as for this?"
As for the unity of knowledge and action, only then can we not deviate from the right path. Gwenn replied, then asked, "I don't remember ever seeing you, who are you?"
"My name is Pan Long, I'm from Northland, and I'm in the Gyeonggi area during this time to see what's fun. Pan Long replied.
Gu Wen nodded: "It turns out that I am the number one master of the young generation this year, your name, the old man, I have also heard of it." ”
Without waiting for Pan Long to speak, he asked again: "Your Pan Gongzi is a famous figure in the world, but the old man and I are unknown, why do you know me?"
"The younger generation once had the honor to meet the Mo family giant. Pan Long said, "The giant said that since the death of the previous generation of giants, the number one master of the Mo family today is the descendant of the Tianji lineage, the ancient predecessors of Gu Wen. ”
Gu Wen shook his head: "Even so, you should have only heard of my name, and you shouldn't know me." There is no reason for the giant to introduce me to a junior, and he specially made a portrait of me. ”
"Senior, I saw your portrait from the seniors of the 'weeping scholar' Yan of the Pai Jiao. Pan Long replied, "Senior Yan has made a list, and there are many noteworthy masters in the world. Because he was going to escape from Great Xia with the people in the Pai Sect, the junior transferred the list to his disciples for him, and he saw the information of the senior. ”
Gu Wen nodded: "You have a good relationship with Pai Jiao, I know about this matter." It's not surprising that you've asked you to hand over something...... Who was that list for?"
Pan Long smiled: "The seniors are joking, saying that the seniors are now criminals in the imperial court, and if they are caught, they will be beheaded all over the house." He trusted me, so he told me the identity of his disciples. How could I say that again?"
A smile finally appeared on Gu Wen's sleek, haggard face.
"Well, do you have something to do with me, old man?" he asked, "if you just want to see me, now that you have seen me, you can go." I am also a criminal of the imperial court, and it is not a wise move for you to have a relationship with me. ”
Pan Long said: "I specially chased my predecessors here, of course, not just to meet them. I admire the ideas of the Mo family a lot, and I want to ask my predecessors for advice. ”
Gu Wen was slightly stunned and asked, "Do you want to learn the skills of the Mo family?"
"If my seniors are willing to give me some advice, of course I would like to learn. ”
"Do you know that the hundred schools of thought are now a big taboo, especially the two Confucian and Mo families, once they are involved, it will be a disaster to destroy the door!"
"People in the rivers and lakes, there are risks every step of the way, where can you worry so much?" Pan Long smiled, "If you are also afraid, that is also afraid, then don't venture into the rivers and lakes, go home as soon as possible, your wife and children are hot on the kang, and live a peaceful life." ”
“...... If so, it's not bad. ”
"Senior, you are still running around the rivers and lakes at your age. I'm only in my early twenties, so it's far from time to retire!"
Gu Wen smiled again: "If I can, in fact, I also want to be as young and promising as you." It's just that I'm unlucky, and I don't have the opportunity to walk the rivers and lakes until I'm almost 200 years old, that's all. ”
He sighed and said, "Confucianism has no class, and my Mo family is similar. If you want to learn the skills of the Mo family, I should have taught you some seriously. It's a pity...... You didn't come at the right time. Now I'm preparing for a big event, to completely seal myself, and I'm just an ordinary old man for the time being. If this matter is over and I still have my life, then let's talk about it. ”
Pan Long frowned and asked, "Are the seniors going to take action at the Autumn Festival or the Moon Appreciation Conference?"
"You don't have to ask for details. Gu Wen said, "With your martial arts, as long as you don't rush towards the dangerous place in a daze, you shouldn't be in danger." In short, since you are here to see the excitement, then you can watch the excitement with peace of mind. ”
Pan Long frowned and persuaded: "Senior, the masters of this Gyeonggi land are like clouds, especially since the Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor family has some rumors that the grass and trees are soldiers, and almost all the masters who can be drawn have been mobilized to the nearby area - it's not that I look down on people, don't say it's you, even if it's the 'Yiwu' predecessors who are powerful in the Dragon Boat Festival, if they don't hit the iron head, I'm afraid they won't be able to please......"
Gu Wen laughed: "Boy, your knowledge is still too little! There is also a big difference between a master and a master. If Yiwu is here, where does the old man need to hide! But the Emperor of Great Xia needs to find a hole to hide, so as not to be killed by her arrow!"
(...... I think you may have some unrealistic false illusions about my teacher's force...... )
Pan Long also witnessed the battle at the beginning, of course he knew that his teacher was very skilled, even if he was in Longtan Tiger's Den, he could break through. But now that the masters of the Great Xia court are really almost gathered in the Gyeonggi area, this place is simply safer than the copper wall at this moment.
The teacher might really be able to break in and make a fuss in this situation and run away, but it was absolutely impossible for her to kill the Great Xia Emperor in this situation.
If she was really so powerful, she didn't have to set up an ambush in the first place, and then ambush and kill after luring the emperor firmament out of the divine capital.
Rush in directly and shoot the Great Xia Emperor with one arrow, how simple!
But these words are just for thought, and not for words.
There is not so much friendship between him and Gu Wen, and it is a taboo for people to speak lightly and deeply.
So he smiled, made a gesture, said "juniors retire", and turned to leave.
Gwenn walked to the door of the hut and watched him leap away in the wind before closing the door again and sitting back down.
After a while, he said, "What do you think?"
The car suddenly deformed, twisted and twisted in the air, and in a moment it turned into a chubby child. It is the treasure of the Mo family, the treasure box of the heavenly machine "thinking about it".
This crate has long been psychic and can change freely. The heir of the Mo family's Tianji lineage is not so much Gu Wen as him.
Facing Gu Wen's question, he smiled and said, "Although this person has a secret method to cover his breath, but when he is close, he can still feel that he has a deep merit on him, and he should be a good person." ”
"Pan Long, alias 'the penny hero', fought injustices and acted chivalrous and righteous, killing many bandits and bullies who were full of evil, and he once squandered money between Jing and Yang, and rescued tens of thousands of victims. It is a matter of course that such a person has deep merit. Gu Wen said, "There have always been legends in the rivers and lakes, and some people suspect that he is the reincarnation of a Buddhist monk. ”
"He does look like he's been reincarnated by some kind of big man. The Heavenly Treasure Crate said, "His skills are so profound and his cultivation is pure, it is unimaginable in people of this age." ”
As he spoke, he smiled again and said mysteriously: "By the way, Xiao Gu, you must not have noticed, in fact, his cultivation of kung fu ...... It's special!"
"Oh?" Gu Wen was a little curious, "What kind of kung fu does he practice?"
"That kung fu, you haven't seen it, and no one in the Mo family has seen it today, but a long time ago, when Great Xia was not established, it was once very famous. The child who changed the treasure box said in an old-fashioned manner, "That's the Great Xia National Teacher, the teacher of Emperor Jiazi, the sect master of the Legalist family, and the peerless school of the immortal 'Lanling', called 'Law Cangsheng'." ”
"Lu Cangsheng?" Gu Wen frowned and asked, "Why haven't I heard of it?"
"There was a big problem with that kung fu, and then something happened. The Heavenly Machine Treasure Crate shook his head and said, "Lanling himself uses the Legalist family to join the path of immortality, and this exercise is the core of his path to immortality. However, when later generations practiced this exercise, they didn't feel it at first, but when they reached the depths of cultivation, they became more and more selfish and selfish, and they only thought about themselves everywhere...... It is said that the reason why Emperor Wu Wenxiang turned against him had a lot to do with this kung fu. ”
Gu Wen was taken aback and asked, "Then Pan Long's cultivation of this kung fu will not cause an accident?"
"Not necessarily. The Heavenly Machine Treasure Crate said, "A thousand years have passed since the incident, maybe Lanling has figured out a solution to the problem." Or maybe...... Pan Long has deep merit and can dissolve anger. After all, he is not like Emperor Jiazi, who learned from scratch. He is the reincarnation of a Buddhist monk, and the problem of the mind may not be a problem for him. ”
Gu Wen frowned, thought for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "If I can still see him alive after the Mid-Autumn Festival, I must talk to him about it." The path of the birth of the Horizontal and Vertical Dharma Patriarchs has already been occupied by the Lanling Immortals, so there is no need for him to take this path again. Although there are many shortcomings in the Dharma of the Golden Body of Meritorious Virtue, it is also a real method of immortality. Why should he be so far away?"
"Xiao Gu, don't think about it so much. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, even if you live, you will die in the world, and maybe you will never return to Daxia in this life. Do you think you'll ever get a chance to see him again?"
The Heavenly Treasure Crate shook his head and said, "Even if you can see him again, why bother to have anything to do with him? He is old and young, and he can't be involved in this kind of family matter!"
Gu Wen was stunned for a moment, then remembered the difference in each other's identities, and couldn't help but sigh again.
"You're right, we...... It's better not to have a relationship at all. ”
After speaking, he lay down, looked at the roof of the shed above his head, was silent for a while, and asked: "Feifei, do you think that I am looking for death when I come to the capital to make trouble this time?"
"People are going to die, is it important to look for death?"
