Chapter 110: Sitting down with Jiao Xian
Jiao Xian's name, Liu Wei heard it for the first time today.
Maybe he hid it too deeply, so he didn't even leak a trace of his reputation.
"Why did the gentleman keep silent when he felt that the Han family was dying?" Liu Wei asked.
He's really curious.
Whether in fiction or in real life, he often hears rumors about these hermit masters.
But this is the first one to see it with your own eyes.
Jiao Xian looked thoughtful, thought for a moment and said, "It's just that I suddenly felt something, but there is no reason." People, no matter what kind of way of life, as long as you live comfortably, it is enough. If I keep my mouth shut, people won't talk to me about the affairs of the world, so will I be able to have a lot less troubles? โ
"For most people, not speaking is just a sin, and it's hard for them to keep their mouths shut." Liu Wei said that even people who are born mute yearn for the day when they speak.
Jiao Xian looked at Liu Wei in surprise, under that dirty face, the eyes that were not big were very clear.
Just like his teeth, at a glance, people feel clean.
"There are many people in the world, there will always be one or two maverick outliers, and perhaps, old decay happens to be one of them. What is seen in the eyes of others is probably the opposite for me. Jiao Xian said.
This explanation can make sense, but Liu Wei doesn't believe it.
The old man was simply telling him over and over again, to believe in science, I was not as mysterious as the rumors suggested.
It sounds exactly like the old way in their village.
In the previous life, there was an old man in Liu Bian's village, who was said to be a Taoist priest, and he was strange all day long.
When someone asks him to go out to make a Jiao or see a doctor or something, he always leaves after the sun goes down.
When others see a doctor and use medicine, he uses a charm to see a doctor.
When others asked, they smiled and said, "It's just a trivial matter, it's just alarmed, you have to engage in these useless things, I don't believe in this old way, what do you believe?"
When asked why he was in a hurry at night, he said it was cool.
The winter is really cool, and the cold wind is swishing.
When others asked if there really were those things that couldn't be explained, he said that there was a fart, and he didn't scare himself.
The words he often says are, "When I do this, I'm just making a fool of myself."
But the people from all over the country believed in the old man very true.
Moreover, people really have some means, although they will never admit it.
"Then sir, why are you talking again?" Liu Wei asked.
Jiao Xian smiled and said: "When I met someone who wanted to speak, the old man naturally spoke." Usually, when no one is around, I will mumble a few words to myself. โ
For this reason, Liu Wei really didn't believe a word.
Just this tone, it is exactly the same as the old man in their village.
"Sir, talking about me?" Liu Wei asked with a smile.
"If the king is silent in front of him, isn't this a crime of deception? Although the old man is alone, he is also afraid of death. Jiao Xian said, "Moreover, sitting with the emperor is a beautiful thing." โ
"I don't understand." Liu Wei shook his head and said.
Jiao Xian laughed, and his two eyes narrowed into a slit when he laughed, "I don't understand it." โ
"But this does not prevent the old decay from discussing with His Majesty."
Liu Wei nodded thoughtfully, "This is indeed true." Then sir might as well ...... Tell me? โ
"Say what?" Jiao Xian asked suspiciously.
"Dao!" Liu argued.
Jiao Xian pouted and shook his head a little exaggeratedly, "The Tao is unspeakable." โ
Liu Wei: ???
"Sir is a funny person, why don't we talk about the world?" Liu Wei reined in his mind and regained his strength.
If this old man foresees the dying of the Han family, he will keep silent from now on.
Now that he is speaking again, there must be a reason for this.
"What is there to say about the world? The barren fields are full of people's bones, the books of the government are full of rich people, the industrious and simple men become thieves when they lift farm tools, and the belongings that plough the fields have become murder weapons, no matter what. Jiao Xian shook his head like a rattle, and his attitude was extremely resolute and affirmative.
Liu Wei only had a helpless depression in his heart, he really didn't like the way he spoke with dumb riddles.
"Then it's better for Mr. to talk about me." Liu Wei said.
met the legendary hermit master, Liu Wei felt that even if he just picked down three melons and two dates, he should have something to gain, and what was going on with some useless riddles.
Jiao Xian stretched his neck, tilted his head, and made a gesture of looking, looking up and down.
What's even more outrageous is that he turned upside down, clubbed his head on the ground, and assumed a frog pose and watched for a long time.
"Your Majesty, it's not an ordinary person!" After sitting upright again, Jiao Xian said.
Liu Wei quietly waited for his next step.
Kejiao first......
It seems that there is no more follow-up.
Liu Wei couldn't help but think of Mr. Movie Tree.
Mr. Nashu is indeed a tall man.
Jiao Xian's words made Liu Wei's expectations plummet, he smiled and said, "Whether it is in terms of identity or status, I should not be an ordinary person. Sir's words don't do me much good. โ
Jiao Xian's expression was exaggerated, with some funny meaning, and he smacked for a while and said: "But the old man doesn't seem to have what the emperor wants to hear, you also know that what good words can be said in the mouths of rough people in the mountains and fields, even compliments are difficult to say." โ
"Sir should know that what I want to hear is not some compliment, my ears are almost calloused when I hear those words, there is no need to let a hermit like Sir talk to me again." Liu Wei said.
Fortunately, he didn't expect Jiao Xian to give him some warning words or prophecies.
He was just curious about the man.
But now it seems that this is the case.
"Yes, yes." Jiao Xian muttered, looked up at the sky again, suddenly turned over, and shouted with dancing hands, "It's time to eat again, it's time to eat." โ
Liu Wei: ???
Seeing Jiao Xian staggering to the back of the grass house as if he was drunk, Liu asked Yinglin, "This person's reputation among the people is really high?" โ
Yinglin was also a little unsure now, and said with a sad face: "There are indeed a lot of rumors, but when the minister looks at it now, it seems to be ...... It doesn't look like it. The minister has never seen a real master, and I don't know if the master is like this. โ
Liu Wei listened a little depressed.
Although he had never seen a master, he knew that the real master should not be like this.
This master, that's simply the ancient version of Mr. Tree.
Maybe he might have some skills, but they were all overshadowed by that crazy talent.
After a while, Jiao went first and returned, and when he came out, he was holding a pottery urn in his hand.
Amazingly, the blackened pottery urn exudes an alluring fragrance.
Smelling it, like the fragrance of flowers and plants in the mountains, there is a hint of refreshing meaning.
"It's eaten, eaten!" Jiao Xian shouted in his mouth and placed the pottery urn in the open space not far from Liu Wei.
Then he rolled up his sleeves and grabbed a handful of ...... from the urn with his bare hands. White stones?
Liu Wei was stunned.
Those things look like white stones, a lot like Go pieces.
Yinglin next to him suddenly became a little excited, and whispered to Liu Wei: "Your Majesty, that's Baishi, it's Baishi!" โ
"What is Shiraishi?" Liu Wei felt that he was in a big confusion.
Yinglin explained: "Your Majesty, the white stone is rumored to be the food of the gods, and it looks like a white stone, but it tastes soft and glutinous and sweet. The minister had also heard rumors about it, and today was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes. โ
As he spoke, Jiao Xian had already held the white stone in both hands and came to Liu Wei, "The emperor might as well taste the coarse grains in the mountains." โ
Liu Wei looked at the relatively clean hands, hesitated for a while, and out of politeness and curiosity, he took three and put them in his hands, "Thank you, sir!" โ
"The emperor is so kind!" Jiao Xian showed a mouthful of white teeth, laughed, held the white stone, and came to Yinglin again, "Come, those who see have a share, and they have a share." โ
Yinglin saw that the emperor had only taken three, so he reached out and took one.
Jiao first held the handful of white stones, and then continued to the front of Xiahoudun and fifty criminal guards.
This lap was sent down, no more, no less, just finished.
Liu Wei couldn't help but be a little surprised.
This man looks crazy, but he inadvertently does something amazing.
"Did you count, sir?" Liu Wei asked.
"Huh? What has old decay counted? Emperor, are you talking about arithmetic? Jiao Xian shrugged his brows, looked at Liu Wei exaggeratedly and asked.
Liu Wei nodded.
He has never seen other too miraculous means, and he doesn't know whether they are true or not.
But those who have practiced mathematics to the extreme can really calculate very accurately.
Jiao Xian shook his head with a smile, "For this kind of thing, the emperor should find Zheng Xuan." He is the master of Yishu, and the old man doesn't know these methods. โ
It's Zheng Xuan again......
Liu Wei muttered in his heart, this is the only thing that has something to do with what he has experienced.
"Sir, do you think I should recruit Zheng Daru?" Liu Wei asked.
Jiao Xian sat cross-legged on the ground again, grabbed a few white stones from the black pottery urn, slowly peeled off the outer layer of skin as thin as a cicada's wings, and put it into his mouth.
He enjoyed his meal so much that he completely forgot to answer Liu Wei's question.
Seeing this, Liu Wei also peeled off the white stone in the same way.
It tastes like taro, but it doesn't.
It's got a bit of an orchid scent.
As for what kind of fruit he is, Liu Wei is really difficult to tell.
He had never seen anything like it in his two lives.
Jiao Xian didn't eat much, and he didn't know if it was a coincidence or intentionality, he also ate three.
It wasn't until he hiccuped comfortably that he said to Liu Wei: "What kind of person does the emperor use, who he doesn't need, depending on the current situation and mood, just use it when it should be used." Zheng Daru, but he is really rich and rich, and he doesn't have so many charming thoughts, and he is still very fascinated. โ
This time, Liu Wei finally heard Jiao Xian's voice.
This is obviously trying to make him use it.
And this matter, the DPRK and China have argued several times in recent days, but Liu Wei forcibly pressed it down.
Liu Wei hesitated and put the last white stone into his mouth.
He still felt that Jiao Xian's burping action was really redundant, just three white stones, how could he be full?
