Chapter 022: The Great Snake Becomes a Human

This is the end of the past, and the book is back to business.

Mrs. Yu said, "That's a distant guest." I heard that Confucius said: There are guests from afar, and they don't say anything. It seems that today is a happy day. ”

Wuyuan continued: "Du Qinglian is the Emperor Wangdi Du Yu of the Shu Kingdom Yuyu Clan, and later the Turtle Ling established the enlightened dynasty of the Shu Kingdom, and Du Yi's ancestors did not want to see this result, so they moved to Huming Mountain.

Du Qinglian has studied Lao Tzu's doctrine for many years, and he has a good foundation, and he thinks that there is no one in Shu who has no right, so he went out of Shu and planned to go to Lao Tzu's hometown Chu to find knowledge.

"More than a year ago, to Jiangzhou, down the river to the capital, and then into the Danfu water, ready to turn from Yushui to salt water into the Chu country, just when our country and the Chu country went to war, can not make the trip, I heard that Wanfeng Linhai has a Guanyun Lin School is Lao Tzu's disciple Xiangzi was a place to retreat and study, he thought that he could not enter the Chu country for a while, so he came to the Guanlin Cloud School, but found that there was no one to read, and he was disappointed. First because of the war, and then because of typhoid fever, he stayed for more than three months.

"Nowadays, the customs of Danfushui are also changing, and I want him to stay, or it will be of great use in the future, such as running a village school, so I tried my best to let him stay in the school house for a long time.

"It's hard to resist the hospitality, and he agrees first. At that time, I promised him to introduce him to his wife, and I was busy for a while, and I couldn't harvest it in winter, and I couldn't plant it, so I happened to be free. This man is well-informed, kind, nearly forty years old, and his face is red, his skin is like a baby, and he is not a vulgar thing, and he dares to ask his wife to see him. ”

Madame smiled: "In this way, the old village owner is worth a thousand gold." Since it is here, there are people who are invited. ”

"Since Madame has allowed it, I will go and invite him. ”

Let's say that this fruit Wuyuan, has passed the sixtieth year, but the hair is not a trace of white, I heard that it is to eat more dried fruits of the fruit clan in his life. The sinkhole is within the territory of the Guo clan, so for generations, the director of the sinkhole prison camp has been the head of the Guo clan.

Because of this, Guo Wuyuan, who is not only the owner of Wanfeng Village, but also the head of the Tiankeng prison camp, Hu'an Palace has a little more respect, so he can directly ask to see his wife. Wanfeng Village has a long history with the nominal Guanyunlin School, and when the museum was built, it was supported by the village.

Between these gossips, Guo Wuyuan had introduced Du Qinglian into the palace.

The lady saw that the guest was about forty years old, of medium stature, slightly fat, and that his body was a white Shu segment (I heard that later generations called it "Shu satin"), as if he was born on his body, and his bright forehead and clear eyes could not hide his wisdom, especially the skin, like that of a baby, and the fingertips flicked lightly, for fear that it would be broken.

Madame stubbornly believes that in Danfushui, and even in the entire country of Pakistan, Deng Lu's literati temperament is like a beautiful scenery independent of the water surface of Pangu Lake than Penglai Island, no one can match, seeing that this person's temperament is similar to Deng Fuzi, and not under Deng Lu, she was taken aback first, and suddenly liked it a little more, and thought to herself: "What does he eat, it is more delicate than a woman's skin, how to stay beautiful? ”

Du Qinglian said: "A certain person who is contemptuous of Xishu grass. ”

Madame replied.

The host and guest sit down.

After a conversation, the lady was full of interest.

Mrs. said: "Du Zi is knowledgeable, and the foolish woman has seen it." According to your request, I should convey it to my husband, and in the future, no one is allowed to go to Guanlinyun School to make trouble. However, it should be explained first that the locals should not be forced to learn books, and Bi Jing is the most respected priest in the local area. ”

Du Qinglian got up and made a big salute, and said, "I don't dare to expect someone to learn Lao Tzu's theory, thank you, madam!"

"Please sit back down. You're welcome. Another day, when I have time, I should go and ask for advice in person. ”

Guo Wuyuan said: "If Madame goes, she will definitely not be disappointed." For many years, the students have not grown, but the trees have grown year by year, and they are already ancient trees, although they are simple, but they are different from other places. It's just that the successive generations of Yijun have ignored the school, leaving it to fend for itself, and there are even more deliberate suppressions, one year said that he harbored a key criminal, and almost burned it down, and now the house is a little damaged. ”

Madame smiled: "As soon as you say this, I will be stingy without any blood." ”

Du Qinglian hurriedly said: "I came to ask to see Mrs., I have no such intention, because I heard that Mrs. is open-minded, not better than others, I listened to the advice of the owner of the village, I dare to ask to see, I just want to be clean in the forest, the locals do not often go to cause chaos, enough." ”

Madame said: "I know that you scholars are high, but my words have already been spoken, so there is no need to refuse." At present, although there are wars from time to time, the consumption is quite large, and there is the general manager of Tho, this little thing can still be squeezed out. The two thanked them and left the palace.

Sure enough, from then on, the local thugs didn't dare to go to the trouble of the school for no reason. Youguo Wuyuan is the first to come out, plus everyone respects Du Qinglian's character, and he is mainly anti-guest, he is like the boss of the school, and everyone listens to him.

At the end of the spring of the following year, Hu'an Palace allocated a number of money and grain for the repair of the school, and the Zheng, Xiang, Fan, Tu, Ju, Sanmiaozhai and other tribes saw the Hu'an Palace funding, so they naturally understood it and sent some materials. The Wanfeng tribe sent manpower to cut down big trees, dig mountain rocks, repair temples, and look new.

Du Qinglian lives here, not as a gentleman, but as a student, concentrating on study, not caring about outside things, and happy to be a hermit. Coupled with the war, some people took refuge here, and some stayed. The weather in the school house is very different from what it used to be.

Yu Chang, Guo Wuyuan, and Deng Lu are frequent visitors to the school.

Mrs. Gu has also been there a few times, and she has a very good conversation with Du Qinglian, and she is very respectful.

Gradually, Guanlinyun School became famous far and wide, and I knew that there was such a good place in the sea of winds and forests.

The sun and the moon change, time is fleeting, and before I realize it, another cold has passed.

It was summer, and when he got up from a nap, Du Qinglian said to the people in the schoolhouse: "The name of this Guanyunlin School, one is not rich, and the other is very wordy, only Lin Yunguan is enough." So the school was renamed "Lin Yunguan", and since then, people have called it "Lin Yunguan". (Note: Taoism was not flourishing at that time, and the word "view" still means "watch and observe", not the meaning of the word "view" of "Taoism" in the future, don't misunderstand).

Late one night, Du Qinglian meditated in the shade in the largest room, which they called the main hall.

Suddenly, I heard a strange noise, got up to check, and there was no movement.

Du Qinglian stood still, and after a while, he heard that there seemed to be someone under the stone statue of Lao Tzu.

Du Qinglian looked at the lamp, only to find that the sound came from under the stone that had not been touched for many years and was accustomed to under the big incense platform in front of the statue of Lao Tzu, and heard the sound of hitting the stone inside, and was taken aback.

He hurriedly called three old men to carry away the stones, but he saw a hole in the ground, and there were people in it, three times five divided by two, and dragged out, it was a masked man, covered in blood, with a line of bags on his body.

Don't care about anything else, first carry it into the side room, and treat it urgently.

With good medicine, Du Qinglian said: "Who are you, why are you hiding under the statue of the patriarch?"

The man said: "My life is dying, I might as well tell the truth: I was originally a thief, and I robbed the treasure hunt with my brothers at the mouth of the Dream Valley, and I did not get rich many times." This time, a team of people came out, and they really found treasures, but they didn't want to work hard but they were also very good, and the two sides had a big battle.

"I grabbed a burden that seemed very important and ran, was chased by the treasure hunter, struck several swords, ran forward with my life, did not know the path, and ran to the back mountain. Because of the injuries on his body, he didn't dare to hide more, and he didn't dare to take the road for a while, but he stumbled upon a secret passage and arrived here. "The four were unbelievable.

Du Qinglian said: "I have lived here for two years, and I have never found a secret passage. ”

One person went to check the report: "If there is a secret passage leading to the back mountain".

Du Qinglian said: "Don't make a fuss, I think it was a preset passage to escape when it was built, and after a long time, no one knows." ”

At noon the next day, the thief lost too much blood and died in the sky, and Du Qinglian ordered him to be buried. Cleaning his bags, he found five beads of different colors, a bloodstained bamboo slip, and several other items.

One said: "Aren't these beads a treasure?" and the other said: "It's unlikely, you don't see a luster." ”

Du Qinglian took the red bead in his hand, looked at it, it was slightly smaller than an egg, and the texture was heavier, and said: "Look at the color of this bead is dull, what a good thing it is to finish." ”

Du Qinglian looked at the book, and he didn't know any of the words in the book, and said: "I don't know what the content of this book is, I can't understand it for a while, so I'll take it and read it slowly." Store the other items in the Backroom, along with the baggage, to see if anyone can claim them, and then return them to their rightful owners."

Du Qinglian said: "Today's matter, only the three of you know, for the sake of anti-theft or bad people, do not leak it, even other people in the school, don't say it, so as not to cause trouble." ”

The three of them promised.

Du Qinglian returned to the room, looked at the book engraved again and again, twists and turns, like words and words, like pictures and not pictures, still can't understand, and said secretly: "I have some knowledge, before a book is written, it is the first time for a cat to eat a turtle, I don't know where to start."

Du Qinglian put the book on several cases, often figuring it out in his free time, and he couldn't solve it for many days.

The more I can't solve it, the more I am worried.

As time passed, there were three people present at the time, one of whom left, one of whom died, and the other who was older, and who was still forgetting the business from time to time, and gradually forgetting this matter that was not related to his own clothing and eating.

Only Du Qinglian couldn't let go of the book.
