Chapter 171: The Girl Who Follows the Willows
Mao Xiaodong appeared in the Yajing courtyard, and saw the white-clothed young man who was humming a small song, sitting cross-legged on the stone bench, facing the chess game, opening his hands and placing them on the edge of the black and white chess box.
After the tall old man appeared, Cui Dongshan asked softly, "What's the matter?" Did Second Uncle Li demolish the palace?"
Mao Xiaodong came to the stone table, glanced at the chess game where the outcome tended to be clear, and didn't see much Mingtang, so he didn't bother anymore and sat aside, "What are you, or the two of you, planning?"
Cui Dongshan didn't turn his head, and said: "It's only been a few days since I arrived in Donghua Mountain, and I started to worry about the Great Sui River? Xiaodong, I really didn't say you, it's nothing to see the difference, but it's not kind to be kind to the new and tired of the old so quickly." ”
Mao Xiaodong slapped his palm on the stone table.
All the chess pieces jumped up from the chessboard, hovering in the air, black high and white low, like two pictures superimposed up and down, but no matter how Mao Xiaodong looked at it horizontally and vertically, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see more mysteries, and with a cold snort, the chess pieces fell back to their original places in an instant, not bad at all.
Cui Dongshan always maintained his previous strange posture, "The Mountain Cliff Academy should do whatever it wants, but the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the soil, and what do you have to worry about eating radishes and salty radish? Could it be that Da Li annexed the Great Sui, and the Mountain Cliff Academy will be gone? I don't think so, since the Great Sui can't give you the identity of one of the seventy-two academies, you will return to the Great Li in the future, and it will be a big deal to send people under the fence, anyway, it is almost the same." ”
Mao Xiaodong said sharply: "The academy academy focuses on the students and the master, not the four words of the Mountain Cliff Academy! Not to mention those Da Sui students in the academy, they are the children who followed me out of Da Li, and now they are still immature, how can their spirit withstand many tosses!"
Cui Dongshan slowly withdrew his hand, but clenched a chess piece, creaked in the palm of his hand, and turned his head to look at Mao Xiaodong, who was furious,
Cui Dongshan's face was as usual, and he smiled: "It's quite righteous and awe-inspiring, but it's a pity that your Mao Xiaodong has limited knowledge after all, and you think too shallow and too close to things." ”
The tall old man sneered: "It's too far for you to think too much." ”
Cui Dongshan stood up, grabbed the chess piece in his palm, slowly paced around the stone bench, and quipped: "The temple is not in the monks, the monks are not in the Buddhist scriptures, the Buddhist scriptures are not in the Dharma, and the Dharma is not in the Buddha." ”
Cui Dongshan raised his head, took one hand behind him, twisted his wrist lightly with the other, and walked leisurely: "Everything has a way, it should be viewed as such." When you really figure out the meaning of the existence of the academy, the Mountain Cliff Academy can really find an invincible place, as for which family, surname, and country's territory, it doesn't matter. ”
Mao Xiaodong sneered: "When the Mountain Cliff Academy is a school palace, no matter the wind or rain, I can't stand on my own?"
Cui Dongshan stopped, stared at the tall old man across a stone table and a chessboard, and asked, "Why not?"
Cui Dongshan took a step lightly, "Let's take a look?"
Mao Xiaodong's expression was solemn, and he shook his head and said, "You don't have a backache when you stand and talk." ”
Cui Dongshan also shook his head and said, "You really should meet my husband Chen Ping'an." ”
The sun in early winter hung high in the air, and the sun was warmly spread on the tall old man's body, and the old man smiled: "Chen Ping'an is naturally good to be able to let Qi Jingchun entrust him with a heavy responsibility, but you must be a dog who can't change his, and he is calculating something." ”
Cui Dongshan scolded with a smile: "Hey, hey, Xiaodong, you have read all your knowledge to dogs, yes, no problem, but don't take me with you." ”
Mao Xiaodong didn't want to intrigue with this guy here, so he stood up, "Just your little bullshit knowledge, throw it on the ground, and it's not uncommon for dogs on the side of the road to take a bite." ”
Cui Dongshan laughed and said, "Jealousy, jealousy." ”
Mao Xiaodong strode out of the courtyard and turned his back to Cui Dongshan, "Li Er's hard entry into the palace this time, the heat is just right, you don't have to inch in, as long as you cause any trouble later, I will ask you, don't blame you for not greeting you in advance." ”
Cui Dongshan looked at the back and said embarrassedly: "Isn't this okay? What does Second Uncle Li want to do, I'm a little ant of the Nine Realms, can I stop it? If my husband is here, it's really not difficult, calm and reasonable, he is better than me." ”
Mao Xiaodong turned his head to look at the guy who looked embarrassed, and said calmly: "If I can, I really want to smash your head and see what is inside." ”
Cui Dongshan stretched out a hand, cocked his orchid fingers, and pretended to be shy: "I hate it." ”
Mao Xiaodong turned around and left with a dark face, and the old man looked disgusting when he stepped on the shit of shit.
After Mao Xiaodong left, Cui Dongshan sat back on the stone bench, hovered over the chessboard with his fist holding the chess pieces, leaked out one chess piece, and dropped seven or eight chess pieces on the chessboard in one go, all of which were white, so this game of chess was very unruly. In the end, Cui Dongshan squatted on the stone bench with empty hands, his chin resting on his knees, not knowing what he was thinking.
Just like Mao Xiaodong said, there are really few people in the world who can figure out what "Cui Yun" is thinking.
Perhaps Qi Jingchun is the only exception.
There was a slight and uniform sound of footsteps from the courtyard gate, thank you for returning from class, put down your objects, and began to sweep the fallen leaves in the yard.
When the broom blows across the ground, a breeze blows up.
Cui Dongshan muttered: "It also starts from the end of the micro, the majestic wind transits, the thunder bursts, the rolling stones and logging, and the killing of the forest, although it is declining and exhausted, the charm still exists." The female wind is just passing through the alleys, moving the sand, blowing dead ashes, and turbidity, although it is in its prime, it is still not worth mentioning. Thank you, do you think Da Li or Da Sui is better?"
This is the first time that the girl has been asked a question by Cui Dongshan, and she was flattered for a while, holding a broom in her arms, and she was uneasy. Fortunately, she was born with a quick mind, and she made up her mind before that she would get along with this son day and night, and never think too much, anyway, it is useless to worry about it, it is better to be straightforward, say what you want to do, and take a beating to save yourself from being laughing and generous, so she replied: "Da Sui is suitable for living and working in peace, and it is very comfortable to live here." Da Li is suitable for careerists and conspirators, and now it is both internal and external, so it is more powerful, vibrant, and full of aggression, and the most terrifying thing is that Da Li is now gradually beginning to control the mountain forces in the territory, getting closer and closer to the veritable lord of a country. ”
Cui Dongshan nodded, he didn't say right or wrong, but it was rare that he didn't say anything to ridicule the girl.
The girl was sure in her heart, this set still works! Yu Lu was really right, when getting along with this person, you have to force yourself to think more about what is in front of you, and force yourself to be short-sighted.
Suddenly, Cui Dongshan asked: "Why don't you hang yourself, I've been waiting to help you collect your body for a long time, and then I'll carry your body down the mountain, while shedding sad tears, while accusing Cai Jingshen's old Wang Ba, it's so shameless that you actually sneaked into the academy, even a black charcoal girl like you who looks like you can do it, and you kill yourself in shame, and then I will fight with him again to avenge you." ”
The girl was stunned.
Cui Dongshan turned his neck, "Because that night, I declared that you were my disciple and had to lend you so many magic weapons, Son, I was upset." ”
The girl with the green bamboo flute hanging from her waist began to continue to clean the yard.
Cui Dongshan glanced at the girl's graceful figure, and suddenly added: "If my grandson Cai Jingshen climbs the mountain at night and breaks into your house, he is actually not at a loss." ”
The girl raised her head and looked at Cui Dongshan in a daze.
Cui Dongshan stared at those beautiful eyes and said regretfully: "You only have these eyes left, worthy of the name Xie Lingyue." ”
The girl was about to cry, bowed her head and continued to sweep the floor.
Cui Dongshan sighed, waved his hand gently, and put the chessboard and chess box into the square inch jade seal in his sleeve, "Where are you sweeping the floor, it is clear that you are sweeping your son-in-law's interest." That's it, go back to the house and read. ”
When he arrived at the empty main house, there was a thatched futon on a large straw mat, Cui Dongshan waved his sleeves, took out a Confucian classic from a small hill in the corner, and lay quietly in front of him, and then there was a burst of book flipping wind, revolving around the handsome young man in white.
The flip-flop style begins to flip books.
Cui Dongshan began to read.
Whenever this happens, the girl Xie will sit quietly at the door, in a peaceful mood, because only at this time, that guy will not target her. And not only is it the first time she has seen it with her own eyes, but she has never even heard of it, who can read such a strange world just by reading.
Just like today.
After turning the first page of the book, with Cui Dongshan's extremely unique rhythmic soft recitation, the words were like substantial raindrops, falling on the pages of the book, and then between the pages, a lotus flower appeared, swaying and agile.
Page by page, time passed slowly.
Between the lines on the page, there is a picture of the confrontation between the two armies, each military officer is far more subtle than a grain of rice, but the momentum is a golden iron horse, vertical and horizontal, the yellow mist above the page is confused, like the yellow sand raised on the real battlefield.
There was also a woman who was no more than an inch tall, carrying a basket of flowers, and came from the page.
There are also big-bearded and reckless men, with their chests and abdomen exposed, making a singing posture.
On the page, there is an old woman pounding her clothes, listening with her ears up, and she can really hear the mysterious sound of aggressiveness.
There are two children chasing and frolicking on bamboo horses.
There are skeletons fighting swords and swords, walking on the dry mounds of tombs.
There is a master sitting in a precarious position, muttering and twisting his beard, as if he is scrutinizing the words.
......
Thank you to the girl at the door, no matter how much she hated and feared this great national teacher in her heart, she had to admit that the young man in white when she was concentrating on studying was really a romantic man with a clean breeze on his sleeves.
She couldn't understand one thing at all, why was he such a bad person, but he could have the air of a saint when he was studying?
When Xie Xie was stunned, she didn't notice that Cui Dongshan today, at the end of the book, there was something strange in his expression, his eyes were hot, but his face was full of pain and struggle.
It turned out that he had read a scene of three people appearing on the same page at the same time, and all three of them could not see their faces clearly, but there was a huge difference in age.
The old man in a long shirt is on the bank of the big river, contemplating the water.
Nearby, a middle-aged man with a withered nature looked at the other side, his face full of contemplation.
There was a young man riding a green ox, raising his head to look at the sky, the horns of the ox hung a book, and the boy was drowsy.
In the end, Cui Dongshan suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the strange scene on the page disappeared.
The girl looked at Cui Dongshan in horror.
He stretched out his hand to wipe the blood with an expressionless face, and said to himself, "No way, it's too far away." ”
The girl thanked her and asked, "Childe, are you okay?"
Cui Dongshan covered his heart with one hand, clenched his fists tightly with the other, and said in a difficult voice: "Go and bring the "Water Map" I temporarily lent you, quickly." ”
Thank you hurriedly got up, went to his house and got a scroll of ancient paintings, opened it and spread it in front of Cui Dongshan, then got up and ran quickly and returned to the door.
Cui Dongshan's throat moved slightly, he raised his arm gratefully, put the back of his hand against his mouth, and after a long time, he put down his hand and took a deep breath, there are a total of 12 "water maps" in the world, which depict the twelve great blasphemy of the four worlds, and the one in front of him is the "Water in the Sky", taken from the wonder of "a sword breaks through the small hole in the sky, and the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky".
Cui Yun, who was still the first disciple of Wensheng, talked and played a game with the city lord of White Emperor City between Caiyun, although Cui Yun was defeated, he was still honored, and the big devil gave him this precious and extraordinary picture, and Cui Yun also admired this demon giant who sat in White Emperor City.
Cui Dongshan held his breath and looked at the water, but he thought about the mountain in his heart.
Back then, the old Cui Yun used to walk alone, with bamboo canes, walking through the most rugged mountain roads in the world, and it was difficult to climb the mountain.
When the young Cui Dongshan thought of this, he couldn't help but reach out and pat his knee, and said loudly: "Oh, it's dangerous!"
Suddenly, he was stunned.
I saw that on the water map, a small stone cliff appeared out of thin air, which was not very eye-catching, but on the stone cliff, there was a thin young man with a familiar figure, standing in the wind, he stood near the water, pinched his hands and looked into the distance.
The girl in the distance was even more shocked when she saw this scene.
Why did Chen Ping'an take a stone cliff and secretly run to this "Water Map"?
Cui Dongshan had already recovered his stable qi, and at this time, his hands were folded, and he said with a hippie smile: "Mr. is on top, and he is bowed by the students." ”
Then Cui Dongshan fell backwards, rolled sideways a few more times, and muttered in his mouth: "Those who abandon me, yesterday cannot be left." Those who disturb my heart will have many troubles today. Worry a lot of worries, worry about an uncle's worries~"
The girl sat at the door, and couldn't help but look up at the sky, it didn't look like it was going to thunder, which was a pity.
————
A short and sturdy man walked out of Donghuashan Academy, walked all the way, found a quiet house nearby, and began to knock on the door.
No response.
This courtyard has long been rented out, and usually the old man lives in a simple place and almost never shows up, but that night a fairy fight with ups and downs made people realize that there are dragons entrenched here.
Although that fight was a white-clothed young man who claimed to be the ancestor of the Cui family, his shot at the top of Donghua Mountain was even better, and the magic weapon of the whole night was bombarded, which was gorgeous, but the burly old man's various responses were also good, even if he was an expert with a high enough realm, he thought that if he stood in the position of the old man, he would personally face the white-clothed young man who threw the magic weapon like throwing cabbage, and he would definitely not be able to support the dawn.
The man kicked open the door, strode in, and saw a burly old man with a gloomy face, it was Cai Jingshen, a Qi practitioner of the Ten Realms, standing in the courtyard, with a pot of wine on the table, and many exquisite appetizers, mellow wine and delicacies. For a terrestrial immortal like him, in the eyes of ordinary people, this bit of enjoyment is better than nothing, and it is really insignificant.
Cai Jingshen was one of the bystanders of yesterday's palace battle, and at this time, when he saw the foreigner who was at the end of the martial arts, he naturally had no confidence, but he had no confidence, it did not mean that the old man would bow his head and waist, and asked with a humble expression: "I have no grievances with you, you broke into the door, what are you doing?"
Li Er saw Cai Jingshen, and without saying a word, he threw a quick punch, and the old man who was caught off guard crashed into the inner room, vomiting blood on the spot, smashing the door and table, and falling to the ground on the corner of the wall under the plaque in the lobby.
Li Er turned around and left.
Cai Jingshen was a little stunned, sat up against the wall, and thought that he would say a sentence or two before he started, and the so-called disagreement was a big fight, but there was still a "word"? Where is this man so unreasonable? What is this not a domineering battle? The dignified Ten Realms Qi Practitioner, the ancestor of the Cai family, the great Sui lord, couldn't help but scold: "If you have the ability, you can do it again!"
Then the man walked into the courtyard again from the door, which was no longer covered by the gate, and stood there, looking at Cai Jingshen in the house.
The old man swallowed, "I'm talking to the young man in white that day, it has nothing to do with you." ”
After this sentence blurted out, the old man was eager to dig a hole in the ground and drill down.
The man hung an empty wine jug from his waist and asked a strange question, "How much does that jug of wine sell for on your table?"
The white-haired burly old man was a little dazed, and then he was sad and indignant in his heart, thinking that people had to bow their heads under the eaves, but he still replied honestly: "I don't know the specific price, it's about at least thirty or forty taels of silver." ”
Li Er thought for a while, "Then I'll press the realm to the eighth realm, and we'll fight again." ”
Cai Jingshen was completely angry, Lao Tzu just drank a pot of wine, why did he provoke you?
In the end, the old man is not a character who is bullied and does not fight back, but a recognized temperament and outstanding combat power among the great monks of the Great Sui, he stood up and said angrily: "Fight it, I'm afraid of your mother!"
After a while, Li Er left the courtyard and returned to the academy.
The old man was lying in the courtyard, although he was not seriously injured, but he was destined to not be able to stand up for a while.
The old man looked at the sky, for the first time in his life, he was so aggrieved and bitter, he felt that he couldn't live this day.
Lao Tzu's surname is Cai, not a dish that goes with alcohol.
After the cultivation is good, Lao Tzu will go to the palace to face the saint, and he will leave this unfortunate Donghua Mountain, far away from the Mountain Cliff Academy, and the capital of the Great Sui will not stay.
————
Li Er said that he wanted to go around the academy casually, Li Huai went back first, and found that Li Baohua and Lin Shouyi were there, not long after the two arrived, Li Baohua was chatting with Li Huai and his mother, "Auntie, how long do you want to stay in the academy? Do you want me to accompany you to visit the capital? I have carefully studied the map of the capital of the Great Sui, the study building is not easy to find, I have been turning over for a long time, where do you want to go, I know the route." ”
After Li Baohua arrived at the academy, the first thing he did was to understand the cumbersome rules of the academy, what he did and how to punish him. The second thing is to check the layout of the capital of the Great Sui, thinking that in the future, when the little uncle comes to the academy to find her, he can take him shopping together.
The woman smiled and praised: "The little treasure bottle is smart, and thanks to you, our Huaizi didn't give people much bullying." ”
Li Huai almost stared out his eyes, this way Li Baohua bullied himself the most, not to mention that he was calling for wind and rain on Ah Liang's side, and calling him a brother and brother, even if it was Chen Ping'an, he had never suffered a loss.
Besides, Li Baohua was first in his hometown school, how did he throw his pants up the tree, mother, don't you know? At that time, you also dragged me to Fulu Street, wanting to quarrel with the elders of Li Baohua's family, but when you saw the pair of big lions, you didn't dare to knock on the door of the Li family.
Li Baohua chatted with his mother for a while, in short, Li Huai's brain hurts, the two of them are simply talking about chickens and ducks, why can they still talk like they are very close to each other? One asked Bao Bottle, how many houses are there in your big mansion on Fulu Street, and the other replied that there are many academies and schools, more than hers......
The girl Li Liu was annoyed by her younger brother, so she had to agree to sew a new pair of cloth shoes, she sat quietly on the edge of the bed, and was holding the soles of her shoes with a needle and thread, occasionally tilting her head and biting off the thread, before she smiled and looked at her mother and brother, if she met with Lin Shouyi's eyes, she smiled and nodded, and the young man would blush, and there was some unspeakable embarrassment in his heart.
This is the second time that the boy is so glad that he chose to leave the town and follow Chen Ping'an and Li Baohua on a study tour after drinking Ah Liang's gourd wine.
Li Er returned to his residence, Li Baohua just left, and when he saw the man, the little girl who was whistling away like the wind suddenly stopped her figure, and greeted with a smile: "Hello Uncle Li!"
The clumsy Li Er sighed and sighed, very happy. In his early years in the town, he didn't go to the school much, and at that time Li Huai would complain that his father was ashamed, and Li Er didn't dare to go, but this little girl who wore red clothes all the year round was the only student who would shout Uncle Li when he saw him.
The little girl sighed, a little discouraged, her thoughts have always been very wild, and she apologized for no reason: "Uncle Li, I'm sorry." ”
Li Er was honest but not stupid, and immediately understood what the little girl in the red cotton jacket meant, she must have felt that she didn't take good care of Li Huai, and the man quickly shook his head and said, "Don't say that." ”
Li Baohua said seriously: "Uncle Li, Li Huai is actually more attentive than me in reading now, Mr. said that diligence can make up for clumsiness, and he is a late bloomer, so don't be disappointed in Li Huai, reading, it's a lifelong thing, don't worry!"
Speaking of this, the little girl raised her fist and said in an accentuated tone: "Don't worry. ”
Li Er was so happy, such a little girl was really likable, the man nodded and said, "Li Huai is not in a hurry to study." ”
The man meditated in his heart, but there is one thing that can be done, and as for where his son can go in the end, he can only rely on himself.
Li Baohua grinned and rushed away.
Like a cheerful yellow finch.
Li Er stopped to look at the little girl's back, and waited until it disappeared from view, then turned around with a smile.
When he arrived at the door, he happened to meet Lin Shouyi who had left the house, and the young man shouted Uncle Li and left.
In the face of others, even the father of the girl Li Liu, Lin Shouyi also didn't know how to deal with it enthusiastically.
Li Er walked into the house, and the woman was mentioning her face to her son, "This little girl is not bad, but she is too big and arrogant, not like she can take care of people, I think that the one called Shi Chunjia is quite good, although the family is not as rich and expensive as Li Baohua's family, but in the end there is such a big shop in his own family, and our family is barely a good match, Li Huai married Shi Chunjia, and she will not be blinded in the future, Shi Chunjia's girl, looking at the joy, two small pigtails are tied ......"
Li Er smiled and said, "I still like Miss Li more." ”
Li Huai said helplessly: "Daddy, have you ever thought about whether people like me or not?"
The woman said angrily: "How can you not like it? Those two little girls are not stupid!"
Li Huai slapped his forehead, "My mother, don't say this kind of thing to the outside world, otherwise I will really be beaten to death by Li Baohua, although Shi Chunjia doesn't dare to beat me, but with her crackling stomach and little abacus, she will definitely hate me for the rest of my life." She holds a grudge the most, just pull her braids once, she can sue Mr. Qi ten times, every time it is as if she is telling the truth, what Li Huai didn't do well in schoolwork today, and was slapped by Mr. You, see me laughing at him, just pull my braids, what Li Huai is late today, I kindly say a few words to him, he will pull my braids, and what Li Huai can't beat Li Baohua, so he will pull my braids...... My God, if Shi Chunjia becomes my daughter-in-law, I will cry to death. ”
The woman quipped, "Then what kind of daughter-in-law are you looking for?"
Li Huai thought for a while, "It's so troublesome to marry a daughter-in-law, I'd better forget it, when I'm older, I'll talk about it when I meet the right girl one day." ”
The woman smiled and asked, "When the time comes, my mother will bully your little daughter-in-law, who will you help?"
Li Huai said: "Of course help my daughter-in-law, don't you have my father to help you, it's not enough?"
The woman feigned anger and said, "You have no conscience!"
The woman got up and stretched out her hand to twist her son's ear, and Li Huai ran around the house.
The woman glanced at the man, "Where have you been?"
Li Er said in a low voice: "I need to urinate urgently, go to the toilet." ”
The woman's eyes were sharp, and she immediately found the wine jug on the man's waist, sniffed closely, and said angrily: "It takes so long to pee? You fell into the pit? And the pit does not contain feces and urine, but wine?"
Li Er was dumbfounded, turned his head to look at his son, and prayed for relief.
Li Huai fell into the well and said: "Dad must have seen the little vixen with flowers." ”
"Look at your thief-minded virtue. ”
The woman glanced at the frightened man, and for the first time did not ask the bottom of the matter, she sat next to her daughter, touched Li Liu's hair, and sighed, "You have all grown up, and your father and mother are also old." ”
Li Liu put down the soles of her shoes and gently held her mother's hand.
Li Huai patted his ass and said: "Mother, you are still old, what was it like when you gave birth to me, and what are you still like now! If you go out with Li Liu, you will be treated as a sister." ”
The woman laughed and trembled, "Go, go, this kind of thing will be saved for your daughter-in-law in the future." ”
Li Liu suddenly said, "Mother, I want to buy a box of rouge." ”
Although the woman chattered and disliked her daughter as a loser, she still got up and went out with her daughter.
Only the father and son were left in the house, and Li Erxiao asked, "Son, do you want to drink some wine with your father?"
Li Huai's eyes widened, "Can you drink?"
Just drank half a bowl of wine, and soon Li Huai was dizzy and dozed off on the table.
Li Er stretched out his hand to hold Li Huai's wrist, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said silently: "Divine Monarch opened the mountain and built the cave sky!"
————
When the woman led Li Liu down the mountain, she passed by a young man in white under the archway at the foot of the mountain.
The girl looked back and just met the boy's eyes.
She has always given people the impression of being a soft and weak girl with willows clinging, at this moment, she quickly restrained her smile, and secretly made a secret and terrifying warning gesture to the big Li national teacher who she had been in the town from her master's side for a long time.
Slender palms across the neck.
Cui Dongshan, who came here to see her on purpose, was amazed and sighed: "There are freaks every year, and there are a lot of them this year." ”
