Volume 2, The Journey of a Husband and a Gentleman Chapter 1, Spring is like smoke and rain

Spring is not old, and the wind is thin and willow is oblique. Try to look at the transcendent platform, half a trench spring water and a city of flowers. Smoke and rain are dark.

After the cold food, the wine wakes up but sighs. Hugh thinks about the old people and the old country, and will try new tea with new fire. Poetry and wine take advantage of the youth.

........

Suddenly, the spring sun is just right, and the breeze is not dry. There are many tourists strolling on Shuiyun Street, and the young students are very comfortable like a spring breeze, and they naturally meet beautiful women to come here to swim together, so they are naturally waiting for people to come when the wind comes.

However, in my spare time, looking at the pleasant scenery of Yoyo Qishui, I can't help but admire a little, and when I think that the top of this year's Qianlong test is a person from Dayu and a student of Qingfeng Academy, I can't help but feel proud and praise:

Yang Liu Qingqing, Qi level tan.

Spring is boundless, and beauties are waiting.

The morning rises at the beginning, and the night comes by listening to the book.

In the courtyard of the breeze, if you are in full bloom.

........

In the Qingfeng courtyard, a few flowers bloom and dot embellishment, the reeds on the shore of Linze Lake gradually come out of new ideas, the shore is getting wet, the breeze blows, and the green branches sway slightly, bringing a warm breeze, which makes people's hearts ripple.

Qingfeng Temple has been very lively recently, because Bai Jiu has won the top spot in the Qianlong Test, and he has even overwhelmed a young genius like Daomen Tianyu who has been famous in the world for a long time. Therefore, the topics discussed by the students of Qingfeng Academy are naturally these, even if a week has passed since the Qianlong test, the heat is still unabated. But compared to these already known results, what everyone cares more about is actually what Bai Jiu has taken out in the treasure house of Dayu.

Known as the "half of the world", the treasure trove of Dayu, among which there are unknown treasures, or divine weapons that have disappeared in the world for a long time, are too countless. Even as a student of Qingfeng Academy, he still didn't believe the official statement: Bai Jiu, the top of the Hidden Dragon Test, had some insights in the treasure house, and he didn't take out anything.

But even if you don't believe it, it seems that this is the case, and there doesn't seem to be any news inside Seifu-in, so people have to be curious, there is a feeling in the treasure house, what is this feeling?

There are a lot of bamboo forests in Seifu-in, not as lush as the bamboo hills, these bamboo forests are distributed in various places of Seifu-in, which seem sparse, but in fact, each piece of bamboo forest is very dense.

Bai Jiu never knew that there were roads in the bamboo forest, and these roads connected many places, and it turned out that there were so many low houses in the bamboo forest, and it turned out that the big people of my Qingfeng Temple lived here.

In the courtyard of Dean Mei, the plum blossoms in winter have long been completely withered, and the small red flowers on the branches are actually the plum blossoms in spring.

As his name suggests, Dean Mei naturally likes plum blossoms the most.

Bai Jiu stood in the middle of the small red flowers, and in front of him was an old man lying in a rocking chair.

The old man motioned for him to sit down, and Bai Jiu moved a chair from elsewhere and sat down like that.

Dean Mei's expression was very calm, and his eyes were even more tranquil, but in the depths of his eyes, there was a vast and calm ocean. I can't imagine what it will be like when that ocean sets off huge waves.

There seemed to be a lot of words, I don't know where to start, the two of them were silent for a long time, and finally the old man broke the silence and asked, "How long have you been in Qingfeng Temple?" ”

Bai Jiu said: "The disciple came to the hospital last year when he was admitted to the hospital. ”

The old man asked suspiciously, "First in admission?" ”

Bai Jiu said: "It's just a fluke. ”

The old man asked again: "First in the imperial examination?" ”

Bai Jiu said again: "It's just luck." ”

The old man smiled: "It's all luck, so the hidden dragon test is also luck?" ”

Bai Jiu grinned awkwardly and said, "Actually, the hidden dragon has the most luck in the test, and it is because of a few friends that it can win." ”

The old man smiled, and the wrinkles of the old man were the long songs of the years, and they looked very kind.

He was silent for a moment, as if he remembered something from the past, and said: "Now the world seems to be stable, but in fact, under the surface of the country's peace and security, there are various problems that have been lurking for a long time. Less than 100 years after the founding of the new dynasty, the turmoil in the rivers and lakes on the surface has calmed down, and the inner undercurrent is still surging. There were problems everywhere in the government and the opposition, and at this time the iron-clad methods of the military were difficult to maintain, and only by relying on the governance of the literati could the glory of the Tang Dynasty be restored. And today's Dayu is in great need of such national talents, so there is the Tianqi Fourth Academy, so there is the Academy of Liberal Arts. ”

"We heeded the call of Lord Wensheng to provide advice to officials and educate talents in Yong'an City, just to let these hidden undercurrents slowly calm down, but what has happened in the past ten years is really difficult to understand."

Speaking of this, Dean Mei's gaze fell on Bai Jiu, his eyes were kind and kind, and he asked, "You will study in Lingmen in the future." ”

Bai Jiu didn't know why Dean Mei said such a thing, nodded and said, "Mr. San said that there is still a trial. ”

Dean Mei shook his head and said, "It's nothing more than walking up to Zhushan." ”

Bai Jiu twitched, thinking that only a big man like you would use the word "nothing more".

Dean Mei didn't care about his expression, and continued: "It took three days for that kid to go up the mountain that year, and he didn't participate in the Hidden Dragon Test, but he was the first in the literary and martial arts tests in those years, and was accepted as an apprentice by Lord Wensheng. ”

Bai Jiu was surprised.

Dean Mei said, "If you go up the mountain, you can ask Lord Wensheng a lot of questions. ”

Bai Jiu knew that he really had a lot of problems.

Dean Mei looked at the changing look on his face, and suddenly sighed: "Everything in life is eight or nine, there are always unsatisfactory!" ”

........

The yew soldiers outside the West City have withdrawn to the Yew Garden, the Hidden Dragon Test has ended, the Dayu Treasure House has been closed, and Yong'an City has passed that seemingly tense period.

However, Changkong did not leave, because someone had not yet left.

In fact, this morning, the monks under the forest were about to get up and return to the Western Pure Land, thousands of miles away, but before they could leave, a young Taoist priest came to the tree, followed by a young woodcutter.

The leaves split the sunlight and turned into a few broken patches that fell into the forest.

Yulu was bathed in this light, and the fluorescent light on his body that seemed to be absent in the moonlight became brighter and more conspicuous at this time.

The woodcutter's eyes were calm, his expression was gentle, and he said a few words of congratulations.

The monk's face was expressionless, Vajra was silent, and he did not speak from beginning to end.

Today, the leaders of the younger generation of the three Confucian, Buddhist and Taoist families have been talking for a long time outside the west of Yong'an City.

No one knows what exactly they said, whether it was about the road or the future? Changkong didn't know, because his divine sense couldn't get even closer to the woods.

All he knew was that the last monk frowned and left with the man.

The same was true of the Daoist, but his expression seemed to be milder.

Only the woodcutter shook his head as he finally left, and his expression seemed a little heavy.

The joys and sorrows of the world are never connected, let alone the whole world.

The end of this year's Qianlong test, and the opening of the next one, is another sixteen years. And the opening of the treasure house of Dayu, but I don't know what time it is, not to mention the gathering of the three major practitioners of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and the time is even slimmer.

The three families have their own gains in this hidden dragon test, and only the soldiers who are in the middle of the day have no news coming out.

Mingshan did not enter the city, and Changkong did not make a move, there was no dispute, and there was no bloodshed.

Yulu did not make a big fuss in Yong'an City, Chai Le did not stop it, and Yong'an City was still calm.

The results of the Qianlong test do not affect the pattern of the rivers and lakes, but the superiority between the older generations has finally had a clear distinction.

It's a pity that the disciples of the Sword Sect didn't come, otherwise this Hidden Dragon Trial would have added countless excitement.

Surprisingly, it turned out that Mo Kai was not a savage as rumored, but a shy young man.

It turns out that the monks of Wuwu Temple also had a time when they were born, and they did not regard external forces as if they were nothing, as their name suggests.

It turned out that Daomen Tianyu was not the smartest person in the past hundred years, and he also didn't understand something.

It turned out that the young man named Bai Jiu could close his eyes and was so strong.

.........

Walking out of the courtyard, Bai Jiu walked through the deep path in the bamboo forest and came to the shore of Linze Lake.

He didn't make too many stops and went straight back to the house.

Looking at the clean desktop and neat bedding, Bai Jiu clearly remembered that he didn't clean it up when he went out in the morning, but there were two keys to his door, one of which he gave to Ouyang Luo.

The spring sun is clean, like the first snow of winter.

I wonder how many peach blossoms will bloom this year?

Through the window, Bai Jiu looked at the dense crowd, and his heart was full of thoughts.

Fortunately, the secrecy of Qingfeng Temple has been done well, and when I chose a place to live, it was also in a relatively remote place on the shore of Linze Lake. Otherwise, with the attitude of these tourists and the local people of Yong'an City, I don't know how much trouble I will suffer.

From Xifeng City to Yong'an City, from not knowing how to practice to being the first in the Qianlong test, from no one knowing to now becoming famous Yong'an, from Qingfeng Temple to Lingmen Academy, all this took less than a year in vain. And now he is really only one step away from the small goal he set at the beginning.

Dream is like a naughty child, standing in front of you and waving vigorously to you, Bai Jiu is getting closer and closer to this child.

It took Bai Jiu a week to repair his body to the best condition, and then he was about to go to the mountain.

A figure flashed outside the window, and then the door opened, and a cold, beautiful face walked in through the door.

Bai Jiu looked at Ouyang Luo and said with a smile: "Did you take my futon to wash?" ”

Ouyang Luo was stunned by such words and was stunned for a moment. As a girl from the Ouyang family, she has only been served by others since she was a child, where is she like this, blatantly called by others?

Her body stopped, her face gradually became gloomy, and her eyes were as cold as the cold wind of the wax moon.
