Chapter 5: Undercurrents
There were many caravans in the caravan, and the young man in the inn had already noticed the movement outside the door, and was overjoyed to see a distinguished guest coming.
The young man hurried out and gave him a warm welcome.
Ning Nian also saw the guy, smiled, and then turned around and left the place directly.
The young man nodded at Ning Nian, which was regarded as a greeting.
This scene happened to be seen by Li Fengyan, so he asked, "Do you know him?" ”
The young man is not very old, shrewd and capable, he saw the guest asking, and hurriedly replied: "The guest officer doesn't know, my two families live in the same alley, and they grew up together." ”
Li Fengyan stared at the young man for a long time.
The young man was stared at by him, and asked cautiously, "Guest...... Did the guest officer feel any discomfort? ”
Li Fengyan didn't speak, but lowered his head and fell into contemplation, and said silently: "The land of square inches, born with the same voice, long and heterogeneous, why not?" ”
The girl smiled, but she didn't see her words, and her voice turned into a thin line and reached Li Fengyan's ears: "A little guy, a little servant, even if his heart changes, how big can it be?" It can't be done to break out of that square inch of land, how can a nest of snakes and rats give birth to dragons and phoenixes, if you want me to see, that little servant is at most a big head. ”
Li Fengyan turned a deaf ear, and stretched out a finger to the young man's shoulder.
The young man did not dodge or dodge, although he did not feel uncomfortable, but he froze in place, a little scared in his heart.
The girl looked panicked, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, but was blocked by the middle-aged Confucian scholar.
Others couldn't see it, but the girl and the middle-aged Confucian saw it clearly, as Li Fengyan's fingers shook, in a moment, a wisp of black line was hooked out by Li Fengyan from the shoulder of the little guy.
The black line was nothing, crooked, and just about to leave the young man's body.
In a flash.
Inexplicably, a wave of fluctuations was inexplicable, and it quickly swept towards Li Fengyan, like thunder!
The black thread seemed to have spirituality, as if frightened, and suddenly burrowed back into the young man's body.
Li Fengyan couldn't dodge, he was hit hard by the invisible wave, he was shocked like a lightning strike, the qi and blood around his body were like a river pouring down, and a wisp of spiritual sense was lost, and his eyes were scattered in just a moment, and his qi was sluggish.
The girl was very worried when she saw Li Fengyan's depressed expression, and called softly: "Little uncle." ”
But Li Fengyan couldn't hear the girl's call.
He could not hear, he could not see, and his limbs could not feel.
Six senses turn into birds, and the flesh becomes a cage.
No matter how much that wisp of spiritual consciousness struggles, it will never be able to escape!
The middle-aged Confucian looked calm and unworried.
But the girl looked anxious, and finally couldn't help it, stretched out a finger as white as mutton fat jade, and gently nodded towards Li Fengyan's eyebrows.
It's just that the fingertips haven't come close yet.
Li Fengyan's eyebrows gave birth to a resistance out of thin air, blocking the girl's fingertips.
The girl's eyes burned, she pursed her lips slightly, a stubbornness sprouted on her beautiful face, and her breathing suddenly became long and slow.
fingertips, one more millimeter.
But it still doesn't help.
At the same time, the invisible fluctuation appeared inexplicably again, rolling in like a tide from all directions.
This time, it was for the girl.
The girl is fearless and wants to give it a go.
The middle-aged Confucian suddenly moved.
He flicked his sleeves, and the surroundings immediately calmed down, and the invisible fluctuations disappeared without a trace.
The girl looked at the middle-aged Confucian scholar, her eyes were helpless, and she had to withdraw her fingers.
If the jade is not cut, it will not be made.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar slowly spoke: "If you don't rush, you can't be punished, Feng Yan is talented, she became famous at a young age, and she is quite favored by teachers in the academy, so that her temperament is too perverse, her words and deeds are dissolute, and her actions are eclectic. ”
The girl's expression was a little gloomy, and she lowered her head and muttered to herself: "It's another set of rhetoric, I really don't understand what that gentleman has to do." ”
The girl's words mean something.
The middle-aged Confucian man heard it, and he couldn't afford not to listen.
Helpless, the middle-aged Confucian sighed in his heart, and saw that it was almost over, so he put his hand on Li Fengyan's shoulder, and said softly: "There is no need to be confused, the teaching is also true." ”
The middle-aged Confucian scholar's voice was gentle, very gentle, and very nice.
The voice fluttered into a trace of spring rain and fell on Li Fengyan's heart, nourishing and nurturing that wisp of malaise spiritual consciousness.
Although the cage is solid, it can't catch the drizzle and spring breeze.
At this point, Fan Cage collapsed.
Li Fengyan finally woke up, gasping for breath, and was terrified.
The girl called happily: "Little uncle......"
Who knew that Li Fengyan didn't wait for the girl to continue, her expression changed, and she said calmly: "Alas, it's just that those eyes are too clear, and I was fascinated by them, and I almost broke my state of mind." ”
The middle-aged Confucian looked at Li Fengyan's shameless appearance, shook his head helplessly, and then walked into the inn.
The girl covered her mouth and snickered, but she didn't break it, and followed the middle-aged Confucian to leave.
Li Fengyan didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the two of them entered the inn, and covered his chest and said secretly: "It's dangerous, it's dangerous!" almost self-destructed the foundation of the Great Dao, this big week is really dangerous and abnormal. ”
The young man on the side was completely stunned, and he was a little stupid.
These three people are crazy in words and strange in their behavior, they can't be three fools......
……
The four main streets of Chang'an City, that is, the four main streets in the mouths of the common people, are named after the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, the Xuanwu, and the four elephants, and each street is dozens of miles long.
These four streets are centered on the royal palace, connecting east and west, north and south, and dividing Chang'an City into four large pieces like cutting tofu.
For thousands of years, this pattern has not changed in the slightest.
Among these four major plates, the southwest region is called Tai'an.
It means that the government is harmonious and the country is safe and secure.
There are no less than hundreds of thousands of people living here, and there are naturally not a few wealthy businessmen and nobles.
It is in the most central and prosperous area of Tai'an District.
There is a luxurious mansion here, which occupies a vast area and attracts attention.
From the outside, the mansion has red walls and blue tiles, the courtyard is deep and the wall is high, and there is a pair of stone lions standing in front of the door, which is vivid and lovely.
The street in front of the mansion is very wide, but there are few pedestrians, and occasionally people pass by and avoid the gate and leave the place in a hurry.
In the night.
A small sedan chair stopped steadily next to the corner door on the side of the main entrance.
The sedan chair man pressed down the sedan bar, hung his head and bent down respectfully: "My lord, it's here." ”
The curtain opened, and a young waiter stepped down.
He pinched the orchid in his hand, looked arrogant, pinched a stack of copper plates and threw them forward, and the copper plates clanged and spilled all over the ground.
The sedan chair man dared not speak angrily, so he hurriedly lowered his head and squatted on the ground to pick up the copper plates one by one, and when he looked up again, he was already smiling.
"Thank you, sir!"
Finally, the palanquin driver thanked the waiter.
The young waiter smiled brightly, his eyes became more and more contemptuous, and he nodded contentedly, and then turned and entered the corner door.
The palanquin drivers looked at the back of the waiter, with a smile on their faces, but they cursed in their hearts: Phew! This castration!
Immediately, the two rolled down their sleeves and were about to carry the sedan chair away, but they didn't expect that a sturdy man dressed as a guard suddenly came out of the corner gate and beckoned to them.
The two hurriedly stopped the sedan chair and asked with a smirk: "This adult, take the sedan chair?" ”
The strong man was expressionless, nodded and said coldly: "Well, out of the city." ”
When the palanquin man heard that the other party was going out of the city, his heart moved.
From here to the outside of the city gate, the remuneration is not low, but the sedan chair man is still a little embarrassed, and said cautiously: "The city gate is estimated to be closed at this hour, and the adults choose to go out of the city at this time, I'm afraid it will be ......."
The sturdy man directly interrupted the sedan chair man, took out a silver ingot and threw it into the other party's arms.
The sedan chair man hurriedly caught the silver ingot and checked it, at least ten taels.
He immediately smiled and invited the sturdy man into the sedan chair.
It seems to be a fortune.
As everyone knows, if something goes wrong, it will be a demon!
The sedan man is obsessed with money, but he only cares about his immediate interests, but he doesn't know that this is a lot of bad luck, and there is no chance of survival.
Inside the mansion.
Brightly lit and resplendent.
Pavilions and palaces, layers of mountains.
The young waiter came to the main hall with a familiar car, changed his arrogant look, and became cautious in his words and deeds.
At this time, in the main hall, there are two people sitting on the upper seat.
On the left sat a young man, dressed in an indigo ramie silk coat with a straight green silk draped over his shoulders, his complexion was fair, his temperament was feminine, and an old butler stood beside him.
In the right position, there is an old monk, dressed in a gray linen monk's robe, holding a rosary, looking like a dragon bell, closing his eyes to recuperate, and a small novice standing beside him.
There was a square eight immortals between the two, and two fragrant teas had just been brewed on the table, and the tea smoke was curling and the fragrance was overflowing.
The young attendant walked into the main hall, and none of the people present spoke.
On the main seat, the young man sat in a casual and free manner, and when he saw the waiter enter the hall, he stared at him as if he was smiling and thoughtful.
The old housekeeper walked a few steps, stepped forward to stop the other party and asked in a low voice, "On the way to and fro, can you pay attention to your whereabouts?" ”
The young waiter didn't dare to slack off, and bowed his head respectfully and replied: "The little one is very cautious, coming and going in a sedan chair, picking old streets and alleys to walk, and not finding the slightest abnormality along the way. ”
The old housekeeper nodded with satisfaction, and said casually: "The master has important matters to discuss, you come with me." ”
After saying that, the old butler left the main hall with the young attendant.
When the young man saw the two of them leaving, he turned his head to look at the old monk and said politely, "This is a big matter, and I hope that the master will help me." ”
The old monk folded his hands and recited a Buddha name, but did not answer, but silently recited the Buddhist secret scriptures of the Yan Hua Sutra.
The same is true of the little novices.
The young man looked calm and not in a hurry, and took a sip of the teacup.
The fragrant tea is refreshing, and the young man feels comfortable and refreshed.
After a long time, the tea was cool, one old and one young, and the two monks finally finished reciting the scriptures.
The old monk stood up and bowed to the young man, and without waiting for the other party to return the salute, he directly led the little novice out of the place.
The young man was silent.
It wasn't until the two of them left completely that the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and there was a hint of sarcasm on his face.
Then the old butler went and returned.
He came to the young man and said respectfully, "Back to the prince, everything has been dealt with." ”
Since then.
There is no such thing as a young waiter in the world
The young man looked at the inky night sky through the temple door and whispered, "Oh, close your eyes and listen, such compassion is nothing more than the heart of a Buddha." ”
The young man's tone was cold and sarcastic, but he never thought about how ruthless he was.
