The Demons Swallow the Dragon (II) Chapter 83 Jiang Shan
Dogen leaned on the table and glanced at this beautiful scholar with an astonishing vision of heaven and earth, to be honest, he didn't pay attention to it, but after Cui Hathan's successive questions, the more the white-robed young man looked at this beautiful scholar, the more he felt inexplicably familiar.
Pang Beidou opened his mouth and reminded: "Hate the cold, is it that you have drunk too much, your eyes are a little old, a poor and sour scholar, what are you pulling over there, I see, you just drank too much, come, the bottle should not be finished yet, give it to me, don't drink it, otherwise I will not be able to return to the immortal descend after a while." "As he spoke, he was about to stretch out his hand, Cui Hathan was not a fool, Mr. Big hindered himself Wenhua several times, and there must be a demon when things go wrong, but don't say more, and say more about the nectar brew that was finally obtained and will be thrown away before he finishes drinking.
Cui Hathan pretended to rub his eyes, pretended to look at the beautiful scholar a few times, and pretended to say: "Oh, I really drank a little too much, and I can't tell the difference between the glow and the holy light, so let's listen to Mr. Big, don't drink it." After finishing speaking, he didn't hand the wine to the young Taoist, but stuffed the bottle with his backhand, sent it back to his sleeve, looked at his face, and added with a smile, "I'll take it back and drink it." ”
In front of Dao Yuan, there were some things that were not easy to say directly, so Mr. Big said to Cui Hathan with his heart: "Why are you talking so much today, did you eat too much chicken chin when you came." ”
Cui Hathan replied: "Hey, it's not that this beautiful scholar is a little familiar, so I talked a few more words, Mr. Don't be angry, don't be angry, it's not good to be angry." ”
The young Taoist gave the other party a roll of his eyes, and you talked a lot.
Cui Hathan glanced at everyone, and finally glanced at the beautiful scholar with a meaningful look, and said with a smile: "You continue to drink, drink." ”
Dogen couldn't drink more, but this nectar brew seemed to have some magical power, and it hooked his taste buds, and he drank several sips of it, and the young man only felt that his brain was sleepy, and he wanted to take a nap, so he supported his head with one hand, leaning on the stone table, half-squinting.
Pang Beidou drank the last sip of wine in the bottle, and asked Cui Hathan, who had a lot of words next to him: "I heard that a few years ago, I accepted a good disciple, and he played well in boxing, and he has become very famous in recent years. ”
Cui Hathan, the immortal descending city lord, who had not been out of the city for many years, returned to Chang'an a few years ago after returning from his work in Chang'an, and soon returned to Chang'an and took away a boy who was about ten years old.
Cui Hathan said with a smile: "The main thing is that this kid has good qualifications, but if I hadn't discovered it in time, he might have developed well now, and he wouldn't practice boxing every day and suffer this crime." ”
Pang Beidou asked: "Oh, how can I say it, I haven't paid much attention to the things under the mountain in the past few years, and the immortals have not been there for many years, that kid is valued by your Cui Dacheng Lord, I don't know how many generations of blessings he has cultivated, how can he say that he is guilty, when he is free, bring it to see." ”
Cui Hathan smiled: "That's really unfortunate, this kid was sent to the Great Wall by me a few days ago to practice." ”
Pang Beidou took out the melon seeds he took from the bag at the banquet and put them on the table, and asked: "Why, if you want to take the road we walked back then and go to the Great Wall to practice, you can be willing to give up such a small child." ”
Cui Hathan explained: "Mr. Big, this is a misunderstanding, this is really not what I took the initiative to send him, it is that people themselves feel that living in Jiuzhou is too comfortable, saying that going to the Great Wall, one can serve the country, kill more demon clans, and the other can also hone his boxing skills, and promote his cultivation, this kid I feel that I have confiscated the wrong person for this point." ”
"Come, knock point," Pang Beidou scattered the melon seeds to Cui Hathan, and at this point, Mr. Big became interested, "This kid's ideological realm is okay, where did he come from, and what is his name." ”
You just said that people are famous, so here you ask people what their names are, and it won't seem so abrupt if you wait a while and ask again.
Cui Hathan didn't care, glanced at the beautiful scholar next to him, and continued: "The little guy's name is Jiang Fan, the name is a little bit, but people are not ordinary at all, every ten years is not once a return to Beijing to report on work, I didn't take it with me before, but an old friend on Baolai Street in Chang'an called me to go back to Beijing to drink two more glasses, and I happened to be fine, so I went, after the debriefing, I went to Baolai Street as usual, drank a little wine, and drank it all night, and the next day I took a break to say goodbye and leave. ”
"I don't have the habit of using my true qi to dissipate the strength of alcohol after drinking, I just thought that I hadn't been to Chang'an for a long time, and it was good to look at the scenery around, so I planned to take a walk alone, so I ......"
Eh, Pang Beidou knocked on the table to interrupt Cui Hathan's long narration, "Can you tell me something about the point, drink a drink, you forced me to babble so much, and directly talk about the point." ”
Cui Hathan said: "Isn't this a little plot foreshadowing, otherwise you won't understand the key points directly, and you will ask me to repeat it, this one, I don't have to say it again, this again, you won't let me say the key point again, this one will say the key point, I will ...... again"
Qingxiu scholar gently tapped his forehead with a folding fan in his hand, "This guy's old problem has not changed." ”
Cui Hathan said that he usually goes back to Beijing once every ten years to report on his work, what he said is good, I don't know how capable I think, I don't go, I don't go, just send a government official to Chang'an to report on my work, I don't know I may really think that this immortal city lord has a high status in the imperial court, but if you really want to talk about it in detail, it is really higher than the status of ordinary city lords, after all, it is the hometown of saints. If you want to say that he doesn't need to go to the capital to report on his work in person, it is still the emperor Li Sheng who personally issued an order, saying that he Cui Hathan can not come to report in person next time, and directly write a report and hand it over to the officials in the palace to send to Chang'an.
When I heard this, do you think that our immortal city lord is more capable, and he can actually get the order of the emperor himself, and he doesn't need to go to the capital to report on his work in person, but in fact, it is really the conclusion that His Majesty the emperor of the human emperor has come to after experiencing several reports by Cui Hehan, and others may report on their work for almost half an hour, and it will only be an hour long. For an hour and a half or so, Cui Hehan was different from others, if Cui Hehan went to report on his work, he would start for a day, in the end, Li Sheng really couldn't stand it, and it hurt to sit in the imperial study for a day, so he stopped it, otherwise this guy could continue to talk.
Pang Beidou immediately stood up and looked at Cui Hathan is brain, "Shut up, let's get to the point, this is not Chang'an's debriefing, talk well!"
Cui Hathan was not in a hurry, he was beaten by a young Taoist, and he smiled stupidly, and he was not angry, he said a series of lines, and said: "I walked on Baolai Street in the early morning to sober up, and walked to the school in Chang'an that was run by the academy on Baolai Street. ”
After that, Cui Hathan wandered around the school, and when he arrived at the garden pavilion where the students walked after class, he was attracted by a doll with a white and quiet appearance and a gentle breath.
The little doll stood next to the flower bed, holding a sage book in her hand, reading quietly, it is worth taking a look at what this guy has on his head and a small bowl, there is water in the bowl, flat and stable, and the water does not fall.
Cui Hathan was interested in the doll at that time, and then walked up to the doll and said, "Little doll, are you studying or practicing martial arts?"
This little guy has a bowl of water on his head, and he is very stable, which is really like a martial artist squatting on a horse and stepping on the basic shelf.
The little doll slowly placed the book in her hand on the edge of the flower bed, so that it would not be stained with any dust. Turning his head, he glanced up and down at Cui Hathan, who had drunk a little wine, and said tentatively: "Naturally, you are studying, uncle, are you drunk and going the wrong way?" Do you want me to invite the patrol master to send you out." ”
Cui Hathan, who was drunk and woke up for seven or eight minutes, waved his hand and smiled: "I didn't drink much, I just drank all night, I got up in the morning for a walk, and I had no intention of walking here, and it was quite comfortable listening to the sound of reading, so I came to take a turn." ”
The little guy turned his head to answer Cui Hathan's words, and after a few movements, the water bowl above his head was still flat and stable, placed on top of his head.
Cui Hathan put his hands behind his back and stared at the water bowl above the other party's head, "I also have some friends who have also studied in the school, but I have never seen a water bowl on the head while studying, isn't it that the school has changed its rules now, or is it that the Chang'an Academy will be like this?"
was mentioned by the middle-aged man to the water bowl above his head, the little guy smiled embarrassedly, glanced at it a few times, then pointed to the direction of the top of his head, and said with a smile: "This, this is my fight and was punished by the master to study outside for an hour, plus a water bowl hanging above my head, afraid that I will be lazy." After saying this, the little guy smiled embarrassedly.
Cui Hathan said with a smile: "I said how to go all the way, it is the morning class time, the students are all studying in the classroom, you are standing here to read, and there is a water bowl on your head, so good." ”
The little guy just smiled, "If Uncle can't find the way, ask the ranger master, if you don't see the master, you come back to the garden to find me, and I'll take you out." After speaking, he turned around with the water bowl on his head, picked up the book again, and read it attentively.
Cui Hathan saw that the other party was driving people, and then asked: "If I can't find the master who patrols the school, I ask you to send me out and show me the way, you are not afraid of delaying the master's punishment, and then punish you for another hour on the top water bowl?"
The little guy's eyes did not leave the writing, and he replied softly: "Someone asks for help, how can there be any reason not to save it, which is more important, or lighter, as for the punishment station outside the head with a bowl of water, it is also commonplace, I have long been used to it, and it is not in the way." ”
Cui Hathan had no alcohol strength at this time, and he was interested in this kid with a bowl of water on his head, and said that scholars basically don't know how to fight, and it's not that they can't fight, but they don't take the initiative to fight, or they often fight, but listening to this kid's tone, it's a big deal to punish again, it's just commonplace, so it seems that he is a master who often fights.
It's been a long time since a person with a gentle appearance and an ethereal and gentle temperament actually likes to fight so much.
So Cui Hathan asked, "What's the name of the little master?"
The little guy didn't think it was annoying for this middle-aged man from where to disturb his reading, so he couldn't take his eyes off it, and replied softly: "Jiang Shan." ”
Cui Hathan admired and said with a smile: "Good name!" Then thinking that this is the school on Baolai Street, he asked again: "The Jiang family on Baolai Street?"
The doll named Kang Sun nodded in response.
Cui Hathan nodded, his right hand was scrubbed, thinking that the Jiang family on Baolai Street was special in the entire Chang'an, firstly because the Jiang family was a big family in the entire Tang Dynasty, and secondly, it was also the most special point, that is, the Jiang family was full of martial artists. Thinking about it, this kid said that he often fights and is punished, and he hasn't been expelled yet, which is understandable.
At this moment, Cui Hathan didn't want to go around, the wine was awake, what else was going around, and he happened to meet such a wonderful person, so he chatted a few more words.
Cui Hathan walked to the opposite side of the flower bed and stood still, and said: "I know the Jiang family on Baolai Street, if my guess is right, your father should be Jiang Xiwen, a military general of the Tang Dynasty." ”
Speaking of this name, Cui Hathan found it interesting, Grandma Te's entire Jiang family is a martial artist, and none of them are scholars, but in terms of choosing a name, it is always so civil.
Jiang Shan still didn't look up, just hummed softly, his father is the youngest king with a different surname in the Tang Dynasty, and it is not strange for someone to know his name.
Cui Hathan inadvertently felt a little funny, he and Jiang Xiwen knew each other, and they also attended his wedding banquet in his early years.
Speaking of this marriage, it was also a sensation back then, the youngest king with a different surname in the Tang Dynasty, the Jiang family is a martial artist, including his brothers and sisters are all martial artists, and even his brothers and sisters are married to martial arts generals, and everyone thinks that his wife will also be a heroic female general, but the result is that it is the opposite of what the world thinks, Jiang Xiwen married the daughter of a Confucian in the world. This was a very popular talk at the time, the husband and wife were both literate and martial, and after marriage, they also raised their eyebrows, and the husband and wife were harmonious, which was a rare story in the world.
At that time, Jiang Xiwen's father, that is, Mrs. Jiang, also jokingly said, in the future, I will see who dares to say that my Jiang family is a martial artist and does not understand knowledge!
Now that he knows Jiang Shan's identity, it is not uncommon for this child to study and practice martial arts and fight, half with his father Jiang Xiwen, and half with his mother Ye Lingyun, practicing martial arts and reading, all of which are not negative.
Cui Hathan had a thought in his heart and asked: "I have known your father for many years, but I haven't been to the capital for many years, and I wanted to visit you after eating, but I didn't expect to meet you here, do you say this is fate." ”
Jiang Shan slowly raised his head this time and said, "If my uncle is my father's acquaintance, it is just right at this time, my father is at home, and there is no official business, so my uncle can go to my father to catch up." ”
Cui Hathan wanted to follow this routine so that he could chat with this kid and talk about his thoughts, but he didn't expect Jiang Xiwen to be at home at the moment, so if he knew that he had the idea of beating his son, he wouldn't have to fight with himself, and he wouldn't dare to eat it raw with the fist of the martial artist of the Eleventh Realm.
I beat you up, not your father.
So Cui Hathan continued: "When can't you drink with your father, do you say yes, but it's the first time I've seen you and my eldest nephew, the more I look at it, the more I like it, what's the matter, are you interested in going out with your uncle, and your uncle will take you to play." ”
Cui Hathan plans to use the trick of coaxing the children under the mountain to abduct Jiang Xiwen and Ye Lingyun's baby son.
Jiang Shan said: "Uncle, I don't like to play, if you want to play, you can try to find my father, you can accompany my father to practice boxing, and pass the tricks, my father's hands are itching for the past two days, uncle can try his luck." ”
After the little guy finished speaking, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised.
Cui Hathan understands it, this little bastard is ghostly, I'm afraid I don't want to believe myself, I want to drive myself away, see if I don't leave, I will move my father out to scare myself, good boy, my mind is active, I respect my elders, and I understand etiquette This aspect is with his mother's ice and snow smart.
Cui Hehan pondered for a while, then had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Jiang Shan, do you like to practice boxing?"
Jiang Shan flipped through a page of the book, spoke without delaying reading, and said slowly: "I like it, because I think practicing boxing is similar to reading." ”
Cui Hathan leaned on the edge of the flower bed with his arms and said: "Then you can talk to your uncle about how reading and practicing boxing is the same meaning, reading can make people understand knowledge, educate future generations, know books and etiquette, learn to be rich and rich, full of economy, and teach the world many truths, but these things, boxing can not be done." ”
Cui Hathan's sudden words made Jiang Shan interested, and he slowly raised his head to prevent the water bowl above his head from spilling, and said, "Uncle, what you said makes sense, but Jiang Shan asked you, what is the purpose of studying?"
Cui Hathan said: "Teaching others the truth, but also reasoning. ”
Jiang Shan continued: "We took out the word from it, that is, reasoning, what is the purpose of practicing boxing, my father and I said that practicing boxing is to protect the family and defend the country, and to share worries and solve problems for His Majesty, but I don't think so, in my opinion, practicing boxing is to reason with others in the future, others don't listen, I will beat him with my fist until he listens, read and practice boxing, complement each other, complement each other, uncle, what do you think." ”
After hearing these words, Cui Hathan slapped his palms and said three good words in a row, worthy of being the sons of Jiang Xiwen and Ye Lingyun, both literary and martial, so that the city lord of the saint's hometown didn't know how to answer, saying okay, but it was a little wrong, saying that it was not good, and he couldn't find anything wrong.
After Jiang Shan finished speaking, he stared at Cui Hathan, and took the opportunity to take off the water bowl above his head and put it aside, put his hands in fists on the edge of the flower bed, and kept his eyes off for a moment, waiting for the other party to answer.
Cui Hathan looked at it and thought, what's the matter, I said that your reasoning is wrong, you still wait to jump up and hit me with your fist.
Cui Hathan applauded and said: "Yes, nephew, what you said is true that there are no ancients before and no one after you, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is shocking, good, good!"
Finally, when he finished saying this, the young Jiang Shan seemed to be satisfied, stretched his brows, slowly released his clenched fists, and finally picked up the water bowl on the edge of the flower bed and put it on his head again.
Cui Hathan secretly said in his heart, I am obedient, this is too similar to his father, he will do it if he doesn't agree with him, and he doesn't ask if the other party is better than him, he is simply the ultimate martial artist, which is also a reason why Jiang Xiwen was thrown into the army by Old Man Jiang from a big-headed soldier all the way to the youngest king with a different surname in the current Tang Dynasty.
Cui Hathan asked again: "How old is my nephew this year?"
Jiang Shan continued to answer: "Twelve years old. ”
Cui Hathan glanced at Jiang Shan, who was just a martial artist in the Three Realms, and said secretly, it is worthy of Jiang Xiwen's doll, and it is still very fast to be able to walk on such a difficult martial arts road at such a young age.
Cui Hathan said: "Have you ever thought about going out to see and see the outside world." ”
Jiang Shan no longer reads books, and feels that he still has something to talk about when he meets this uncle who rarely feels that he is reasonable, "I think, my father promised me, and when I reach the age of sixteen, he will take me to the Great Wall with him to see, I heard that there are a lot of powerful monks and martial artists over there, and no one cares how to fight, and there is no need to be punished for beating people." ”
Cui Hathan felt amused: "You kid is also interesting, but when you go out, you have to remember that you can't beat people at will if you have the strength, even if you are in the Great Wall of the Dragon, you can't do this, being a man is to obey the rules, you know." ”
Jiang Shan said: "What my uncle said is not much different from what is said in the book, Jiang Shan knows." The little guy nodded after speaking.
Cui Hathan said: "Then do you want to go to the Great Wall quickly and meet those powerful monks and martial artists?"
Jiang Shan said: "Uncle, is it possible that there is a mountain spell that makes people grow up quickly?"
The two chatted quite familiarly, and Cui Hathan smiled: "You idiot, how can you talk nonsense, how can there be any magic in the world that can make people grow up quickly, the method I said is very simple, I just don't know if you will agree." ”
Jiang Shan, who was full of infinite yearning for the Great Wall, asked: "Uncle, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Cui Hathan smiled and said: "That's to be my disciple, you can go with me then, then your father won't be able to control you, I will allow you to go to the Great Wall, how about it?"
Cui Hahan's meaning was completely exposed.
Such a martial arts wizard, it is also fate to meet him because of a walk, and Cui Hathan, who has never accepted apprentices, is also moved by compassion.
Jiang Shan's eyes turned dexterously, and said: "But I don't even know your name, as the son of Jiang Xiwen, the king of the Tang Dynasty, I can't be too bad at worshipping the master, but I can't lose my father's reputation." ”
Oops, this doll, Cui Hathan said secretly, fortunately I came prepared, then straightened his sleeve robe, and said, "Zhang Xianjun, have you heard of Pang Beidou?"
Jiang Shan said: "Confucian manifestation, now the youngest saint in the Temple of Literature, Tianji Hexagram Immortal Pang Beidou, a thousand years ago, a hexagram counted all the eighteen cities of the demon clan, such a character, how could I not know, besides, these two people are all people I worship from the bottom of my heart, there are portraits of the two of them in the book, and there are statues of the saints in the temples in the city who are worshiped by the world, how can I not recognize them." ”
Cui Hathan smiled secretly, hehe, the little guy took the bait, and then said, "Then do you know where these two people come from?"
Jiang Shan, who was full of poetry and classics, said slowly: "From Lizhou Immortals. Then he added, "And I also know that the Immortal Descent was originally called Chaoshan City, and later because of the two characters of the Manifestation and Mr. Big, it was renamed the Immortal Descent, which means the arrival of the immortals." ”
Jiang Shan straightened his chest after speaking, meaning that he knew so much, full of pride.
Cui Hathan said, "Then do you want to see them?"
Jiang Shan was not calm, and said: "Of course I have met them, but one of these two people is a saint, far away in the Outer Heaven Astronomical Temple, and the other has lived in Tianji Mountain in the north for a long time. ”
The little guy has some regret at this. The saint has lived outside the world for a long time, and the north and the mundane have been separated by a day of Yanjiang, how can they see it if they want to.
Cui Gehan sorted out his appearance and said, "You worship me as a teacher, and I can take you to see them." Cui Hathan's words were not low in his heart.
Jiang Shan was happy at first, and then suspicious, "You haven't said who you are, how can I believe you." ”
Cui Hathan said: "I am the city lord of the saint's hometown immortal descending, Cui Hathan." ”
At this time, Jiang Shan is not calm, according to him, he is not at a loss at all, and he can go to the Great Wall in advance, and he can see the Confucian Temple and Mr. Big.
Jiang Shan immediately thought about it, and wanted to apprentice on an impulse, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong, and said: "I'd better go home and talk to my father and my mother about such a big matter, so that they can also be happy and happy, I can see the saint." After saying that, he jumped up three feet high.
You can see that the little one is happy.
