Chapter 4 Go to the mountain and pick hawthorns
Xu Shizi threw a few handfuls of bait, tired of seeing the churning picture of the koi, clapped his hands and stood up, originally Jiang Ni was ready to wipe his hands with brocade dipped in warm water, but Xu Fengnian did not pick it up, three years of tempering, it is difficult to move from luxury to thrift, but it also takes a transition from thrift to luxury.
He left the Tingchao Pavilion alone, and after the most reluctance, he didn't forget to turn around and remind:
"Sister Jiang Ni, don't want to sneak into the building and try to take a martial arts secret book, you know the way, any of the pavilion guards in it is not something that you can deal with with with a rune in your sleeve. These old fellows are far less pitiful than I am. Girls' families, how good is the red sleeves and the fragrance of the vegetarian hand grinding. Let's go, don't stare at me, the first time I saw you, I knew that Sister Jiang Ni's eyes were good-looking. ”
Xu Fengnian, who finished ridiculing the maids, walked to the stable that belonged to him and his second sister, and saw the maid of the water spirit along the way, and did not forget to reach out and hug his waist, touch his little hands, and his posture was a little more brilliant, of course, he did not forget to rub their heavy chests, shouted his sister and sister, and then said lightly, "Yo, there are a few more taels of meat here, don't be tired when walking", which caused a series of shy laughter like silver bells.
Xu Fengnian came to the stable, which was more magnificent than the average rich family, and there was only a lonely red lame horse in it for the time being.
Lao Huang, a servant who has been a groom for many years in the palace, was chatting with the horse, and when he saw His Royal Highness the Prince who had been dependent on each other for three years, he habitually grinned and showed a funny situation without two front teeth, Xu Fengnian rolled his eyes and said in surprise: "Lao Huang, where is your box, why don't you carry it?"
Lao Huang is estimated to be a Shu person, and he can't change the Western Shu dialect that is very unpopular in the dynasty.
And the little Xishu, who had no more than 60,000 soldiers in the whole country, couldn't escape the fate of being destroyed by the King of Beiliang like the Western Chu Dynasty, but Lao Huang was much cuter than that ginger mud, and he kept to himself.
In the past three years of bleak and bleak thousands of miles of travel, if it weren't for Lao Huang's ability to fish, climb trees, steal chickens and touch dogs, and teach Xu Fengnian to weave straw shoes, he would have starved to death in this world.
The old servant was carrying a bag wrapped in rags, only containing a long box of red sandalwood, and he refused to open it for Xu Fengnian to take a look at the mystery inside.
At first, Xu Fengnian thought that it was a prestigious Xuanji box used to load divine weapons on the rivers and lakes, and thought that his father would send a peerless master to accompany him, but when he met the bandit for the first time and saw that this old servant was more like a lost dog than him, he was completely cold.
Every time Lao Huang opened the box, the old groom would only shake his head and smirk, Xu Fengnian had to scold and scold, and he didn't want your daughter-in-law to strip naked to show me.
Once, when Xu Fengnian in Qinghe County took advantage of Lao Huang to, he couldn't help but be curious, and secretly studied it, but he didn't know the essentials, he only felt that the box was cold and piercing just by holding it, but Lao Huang's eyes were called a grudge when he saw it, and he was more pitiful than the yellow flower girl who was molested by him on the street of Lingzhou.
After that, I don't know if I suffered retribution, Xu Fengnian was infected with a cold the next day, it was Lao Huang who boiled medicine and boiled water to steal sweet potatoes to bake, and he was very busy, and then the old horseman carried Xu Fengnian forward for half a year, and the biggest impression was that Lao Huang's skinny skeleton made him panic, of course, there was still a little bit of gratitude that did not speak.
Since then, Xu Fengnian has never had the idea of a thief in the box. It's just inevitable that you will faintly think that you can know the little secret of a certain year, a certain month, and a certain day. Of course, it's an innocuous little secret, and it's a joke that an old groom can have a big secret.
To this day, Xu Fengnian still remembers it vividly, and after escaping from the pursuit of Cao Kou, he asked the old servant, "Lao Huang, are you a master?"
Lao Huang nodded with a touching "shame" on the faces of beautiful girls.
Xu Fengnian asked again: "The very tall kind?"
Lao Huang seemed to be more shy, twisted his head slightly, and nodded again.
Xu Fengnian thought about the tragic scene of being chased and beaten by a group of wooden spears and firewood knives, and forcibly resisted the idea of beating people, and asked, "How tall?"
Lao Huang blinked, as if he was thinking, and only after half a sound did he reach out and gesture, it seemed to be about the same height as His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, and then he lowered the height. So Xu Fengnian, who was lucky, was completely desperate.
Therefore, Xu Fengnian has every reason to be resentful of Dazhu State, in addition to forgetting to arrange a master to be a servant, not only did he not tell him that he should not be pregnant when walking in the rivers and lakes, but also instigated Xu Fengnian to say, "Son, when you go out, the first thing you need to do is to save your life, oh, put on this invulnerable Wukui treasure armor, and put on this glove made of silk thread made of ice silkworms vomiting blood and spitting out blood, and there are three or four books similar to Wudang Town's "Shangqing Ziyang Jue" 's peerless cheats, take them all, good goods, you throw any book to the rivers and lakes, it can cause a bloody storm, you take the time to practice, maybe tomorrow you will be a master, look, dad really cares for you. Put all the silver tickets on your shoulder, the few hanging jade pendants on your waist are also worth hundreds of taels of gold, and if you have no money, you can find a pawnshop and sell them, and it will not be a problem to eat and drink spicy food. ”
At the beginning, Xu Fengnian thought it was really good, this kind of travel is a smooth road, don't worry about spending money like running water, hook up with beauties with different charms in various places, get acquainted with famous heroes, and call the heroes in the martial arts brothers, just think about it.
But later, his mother realized that he was simply a big fat sheep to be slaughtered, who loves when he sees it, who pounces when he sees it, this is your bastard ass, and later, the only use of those cheats is to tear them off and use them to wipe the shit.
There is only half of the book left horizontally, vertically and obliquely, like a book from the sky, which finally came in handy, and on the way back he met a white fox face that was more beautiful than any Lingzhou Oiran, he knew the goods, and promised to accept the second half of "Swallowing Gold Treasure" and escorted him back to Lingzhou.
In that little half a year, Xu Fengnian finally met a real master who had no evil thoughts, and tried every possible way to please him, but the white fox ignored him with a face, and even deliberately opened a large distance when walking, unless he encountered a roadblock robber who couldn't open his eyes, he would never talk nonsense.
Xu Fengnian walked into the stable, took a handful of horse grass for the lame horse, and sighed lightly: "Red rabbit, red rabbit, if the second sister sees a good sweat and blood horse being tortured into this virtue, it is difficult to guarantee that I will not be given chestnuts to eat." ”
In the past three years, an eagle and a horse, plus an old servant who is fortunately not so old and dizzy, is all he has.
Xu Fengnian fed the horses for a while, and thought that the secret agent in the palace had sent a message that the white fox face was still staying in the city, so he was ready to go out of the palace to find some long-lost fun.
This guy would stab him from time to time when he was down, "If you are a son, I will be a girl", Xu Fengnian has no reason not to show off.
In the past, I only felt that it was natural to rely on my father's Xu Zi King Qihu fake tiger power, and now I still think so, but I cherish it a little more, after all, after more than two years of miserable days when life is worse than death, I know that the firewood, rice, oil and salt in this world are not cheap.
Lao Huang and His Royal Highness the Prince cultivated a tacit understanding, and it seemed that he knew that the Tao was out of the road to spend time drinking, so he rubbed his hands and made a gesture of drinking.
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget to invite you to drink the best and most expensive Huadiao, let's go!"
As soon as Xu Fengnian and the old groom walked out of the stable, they saw the old Taoist priest who said that he was a god and some people believed it, no need to guess, he was sure that this old liar had come to persuade his younger brother to go to Longhu Mountain to learn art.
Twelve years ago, it was Xu Fengnian who let the dog bite this old way, because of his mother's belief in Buddhism before his death, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, who did not believe in the Mandate of Heaven, respected the monks, but when he saw the fortune teller on the street, he must have smashed the mess, and this old road of Longhu Mountain is also considered unlucky.
The old Taoist priest who was unkempt and full of lice passed the first level, and almost broke the boy's body without holding it, and the beginning of that encounter was very unpleasant, but the end was sloppy.
The child Xu Fengnian did not forget to teach the ancestor of Longhu Mountain a serious lesson in private: "Old man, if you want to cheat people and cheat money, how can you give up your capital to get a decent set of clothes, those Taoist heavenly masters in this fairy and strange novels, but they are all yellow-crowned Taoist robes, a burp will immediately feather into the high-ranking costume of the immortal platform, don't you learn? Next time you come to the palace like this, I will still let the dog bite you!"
It seems that the old Taoist surnamed Zhao has learned to be obedient, and he really put on a new and decent Taoist robe, with a yellow crown on his head, and a simple peach wood sword.
Xu Fengnian hugged Lao Dao's shoulders and said softly and treacherously:
"Niubi Lao Dao, it's a good thing for my brother to go to Longhu Mountain, but you Longhu Mountain and my father have formed this great good fate, so you don't have anything to say? Otherwise, my brother went to Wudang Mountain to learn art, which is not the same as learning art, why take a long detour to go to your place where birds don't shit? The scenery of Wudang Mountain is very good, and I can still visit every other day. ”
The old Taoist priest looked embarrassed, looked around and saw no one, then quietly touched into his arms, took out an old and yellowed ancient book, and said reluctantly: "This "Chenglong Sword Book" ......"
I never thought that Xu Fengnian turned his face on the spot, and he didn't even look at the sword book, raised his finger and pointed in the direction of Tingchaoting, and spit on him: "Straight lady thief, Zhao Niunose, you can't get the way anymore, you want cheats, whether it's practicing internal skills or playing weapons, I need to go to other places? ”
is also an old man who has lived for sixty or seventy years, Lao Huang has a lot of eyesight and understanding, and he pouted and smiled with His Royal Highness the Prince.
Only then did Lao Dao remember that there was a "arsenal" in the palace, and suddenly, with an embarrassed face, he retracted his hand and said embarrassedly: "What should I do?"
Xu Fengnian lowered his voice and said: "Is there a handsome young Taoist aunt in Longhu Mountain, no matter how old you are, it doesn't matter, but don't exceed thirty-five, no matter how old you are, you are old, no matter how well you maintain, you must have lost the taste and style of." ”
Lao Dao let out an "ah" in surprise.
Xu Fengnian raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong, no, or unhappy?"
The old Taoist priest seemed to be fighting between heaven and man, but in fact, it was only a few blinks of an eye, and he whispered: "Yes, there is, but they are all the disciples and grandchildren of my senior brothers. However, since the prince has the idea of studying Taoism, of course Poor Dao doesn't mind introducing one or two junior female disciples. ”
Xu Fengnian patted Lao Dao on the shoulder and gave a thumbs up, "Go up." ”
The old Taoist priest began to silently recite the "Three or Five Gong Gong" to atone for his sins, and muttered in his heart, "Master Zu don't blame you, the poor Dao is all for the millennium plan of Longhu Mountain." ”
Immediately, the old Dao, who was respected as one of the three great heavenly masters of Longhu Mountain, said anxiously: "When the apprentices have to pick auspiciousness, if you don't get up and rush to Longhu Mountain today, you will miss it, which is not appropriate for the little prince." ”
Xu Fengnian frowned and said, "Right away?"
Zhao Tianshi, who was in a hurry, nodded heavily and said, "Right away!"
Xu Fengnian, who wanted to take his younger brother to take time to hunt once, took a deep breath, and told Lao Huang to wait on the street outside the house first, and took the bull-nosed old Taoist who didn't look like a heavenly master to find his beloved brother Xu Longxiang, a hundred steps away from the stable, the old Taoist priest intentionally or unintentionally turned his head to look at the old horseman who was smiling on the edge of the stable, and his original dignified steps finally became a little lighter.
Xu Fengnian came to his younger brother's courtyard, and was angry and funny to find that this kid was squatting on the ground to watch the ants again, walked over and patted his head, and said bluntly: "Don't look at it, there are bigger ants in Longhu Mountain, go there and look, learn the art and go down the mountain early, and bring a bag of wild hawthorn to my brother, do you hear?"
Guiwei is a really stupid fool who stood up, nodded heavily, and smiled again, of course, he drooled again.
The old Taoist priest was dumbfounded, this great difficulty was so easily solved? That day, the Great Pillar Kingdom, who had single-handedly turned the entire rivers and lakes upside down, failed to convince this apprentice with all his might.
Xu Fengnian scolded with a smile while wiping his saliva:
"Silly yellow barbarian. If anyone dares to bully you and scold you for being a fool, you will be beaten to the death, if you can't beat it, let the master write a letter, brother will take our Beiliang Iron Cavalry to attack two thousand miles to kill Longhu Mountain, and go to his mother's orthodoxy! Remember, don't be bullied! In this world, only our brothers and two sisters bully others!"
Xu Longxiang probably seemed to understand and nodded.
The old Taoist priest was shocked when he heard it.
With Xu Fengnian out of the horse, Xu Longxiang did not have any resistance, and the palace did not drag mud and water, led by Yizi Qi Dangguo, escorted by forty elite iron horsemen, and secretly there were several capable people raised by the Beiliang Palace, plus a dragon and tiger mountain heavenly master, no one dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head.
The parting was imminent, and the prince Xu Fengnian stood in front of his younger brother and said softly: "Silly Huangman, my brother will not be able to help you wipe your saliva in the future." But my brother promised you that he would continue to help you find the world's first beautiful woman to be her mother-in-law, but she didn't want to, so she had to tie it into the cave room. ”
The young man who was favored by God and got the power of the dragon elephant was stupid, and his heart couldn't be opened, but it didn't mean that he didn't have any feelings, on the contrary, in a certain way, it was extraordinarily strong, such as the heavy dependence on the second brother in the world who would wipe his saliva for him after his mother.
When he was fourteen years old, Xu Fengnian broke into a catastrophe, Da Zhuguo, who has always been unbeatable or scolding his children, almost took out an iron whip and smashed it on his most distressed son, no one dared to persuade and no one dared to stop him, it was the stupid Huang Man who was dead in front of his brother and refused to give an inch.
Xu Fengnian's eyes were red, and he turned his head to the old Taoist priest and said, "Zhao Niubi, I said, don't let anyone bully Huang Man." Although I, Xu Fengnian, am an unscrupulous man and have no power to restrain the chicken, you should understand what the consequences are. ”
The old Taoist priest smiled and nodded with a wry smile.
The team gradually traveled far away, and Xu Fengnian and his father Xu Xiao did not see them all the way out of the city.
Xu Fengnian found Lao Huang standing next to the jade lion and chuckled: "I'm not in the mood to drink today, later?"
The old servant smiled very simply and brightly, and his old face was like a large area of reeds that could only be seen when he went out to the wilderness, and he might not be charming or magnificent, but he had his own feelings. Like a jar of dusty wine that has been sealed for many, many years. My QT room is open!Beacon Opera Princes Official QT Room No.[1655]
