Inside, there was a lot of talk and sword, Kong Lianyu was fighting a group of Confucians, and no one noticed the arrival of Liu Wen and others for a while.

In the end, Lang Yun couldn't stand it anymore, he stood at the door and high-fived, and the crisp applause interrupted everyone's noise, and everyone turned their heads and showed joy one after another:

"Agu is here, it's Agu here!"

"Agu, long time no see. ”

"How does it feel to travel around the world?

Liu Wen didn't have the frame of Wang Shizi here, he walked in and shook off his shoulder, and at the same time, a little guy stepped forward to catch it.

During this period, Liu Wen did not look back, obviously this is a matter of course for others.

Lang Yun politely beckoned Wang Qilin into the house, and the eyes of the big guys were focused on Liu Wen, so no one noticed him for a while.

Except for one person.

Wang Qilin is not the same as these rising stars of the Zhumen, so no one pays attention to him and it is exactly what he wants.

But as he stood still, he keenly noticed that there were eyes staring at him.

So he quickly turned his head and saw a handsome face.

He ran into Li Mao again.

Li Mao smiled and nodded to him.

Wang Qilin smiled politely, but both of them could sense that they were smirking at each other.

A fake smile doesn't cost money or consumes feelings, so Wang Qilin smiled at him again.

The two laughed at each other in the air, and the maids around them sighed secretly, but it was a pity that the two handsome B.

Of course, no one dared to put a strange look on their faces.

Those who are chosen to serve in this place are all professionally trained, and unless they can't help it, they will always have a warm and humble smile on their faces.

Liu Wen greeted the scholars who were familiar with him, and walked up to Li Mao to chat with him.

He also made an introduction between Wang Qilin and Li Mao, and introduced: "When I first entered the capital when I was young, it was the senior brother who introduced me to study and do learning. ”

Wang Qilin suddenly realized, it turned out that this champion Lang was also a student who went out of Guozijian, no wonder he was able to high school Zhuangyuanlang, which is of course related to learning, but it must also be related to human affection.

Li Mao humbly pushed, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Wang Qilin's eyes straightened.

The voice is mellow and beautiful.

There are many men in the world, but there are very few who can make such beautiful sounds.

Wang Qilin happened to hear that a few days ago, Huang Junzi went to the Hospitality Temple to look for him, but was besieged by the guards of the Hospitality Temple, and some people misinterpreted his words at that time and asked the guards to kill Huang Junzi.

He remembered very well that it was the voice of the man who misinterpreted his words!

Li Mao has been quietly designing him!

Liu Wen didn't know these things, and he introduced Wang Qilin to everyone by himself.

Among them, there was no Zhu family brother with Huai Jin holding Yu, which made Wang Qilin deeply regretful, and he wanted to help Xu Da examine the reality and depth of his rival.

A handsome young man said with a smile: "I have already met Lord Wang, and Lord Wang's sentence 'The world laughs at me for being too crazy, and I laugh at the world for not being able to see through it' once attracted praise from the teacher." ”

As soon as he said this, Wang Qilin suddenly recalled that on the first day he came to Chang'an, he had written a poem outside the city gate, but it was heard by the old man outside the peach forest.

At that time, the old man also praised the art of transmitting sound into the secret, and he knew that the old man's identity was extraordinary, but he didn't expect that he was a famous teacher of the country.

The most uneducated person here is Wang Qilin, so when he heard the poem 'Others laugh at me for being too crazy', they all looked strange and urged the beautiful young man Tang You to read the whole poem.

Tang You said: "This poem is written by Lord Wang, how dare I specialize in beauty? Let Lord Wang read it." ”

Wang Qilin smiled reservedly and said: "Since you have entered the Guozijian, you should only have the level of learning, not the size of the official rank, so you don't want to call me Lord Wang, and besides, I am a bronze captain, what kind of adult can I be regarded here?"

"As for the poem, it was not written in Xia, but it was read by a down-and-out Taoist priest when he was drinking, but he had a good memory and thought that the poem was quite flavorful, so he wrote it down. ”

The people here are all talented people who have been reading since their mother's womb, and when they smell his breath, they know that there are a few drops of ink in his stomach.

The poem "Song of the Peach Blossom Temple" is not a famous sentence for the ages, but it is also a good poem that once led the time, and his cultural level can never be done.

Tang You praised him for his modesty a few times, and then coughed lightly and groaned: "Peach Blossom Nunnery in Peach Blossom Dock, Peach Blossom Fairy in Peach Blossom Nunnery......"

The same poem, read by Confucian, who has been immersed in poetry books for many years, is not at all the same as Wang Qilin, who is a night fox Zen.

The words are round, the tone is frustrated, the voice is beautiful, and the aftersound is around.

Wang Qilin was amazed in his heart that the sound of reading could be so good, and he made up his mind to let Black Bean read well, if this kid's reading sound was not so good in the future, he would whip him with a small whip made of eight meow tails!

He applauded in admiration after listening to it, because he had never heard such a beautiful sound of poetry.

But the reaction of other people was completely different, Kong Lianyu directly shook his head and said: "A good poem, Naihe was read crookedly by Tang You." ”

Tang You also said: "I'm just chasing ducks on the shelves, in fact, this poem is better read by Lord Wang, Lord Wang, you don't have to be humble, let alone shirk, you come to read this poem." ”

Wang Qilin was embarrassed, he felt that his taste of reading this poem was too much worse than Tang You's, so Tang You said this, which made him wonder if this kid was going to roast himself on the fire.

Fortunately, at this time, Lang Yuncong pointed at him: "Have you heard that old Taoist reciting this poem, do you remember his demeanor when he recited the poem?"

Wang Qilin understood.

Tang You's voice is very beautiful, and the rhythm and rhyme are also very good, but there is no emotion.

He thinks it's good because he hasn't heard a student reciting poetry, and here a group of students is just the opposite, they themselves read poetry and lyrics like this every day, so that they feel the same, and there is no beauty.

So he looked around, came out and recited: "Peach blossom nunnery in Peach Blossom Dock, peach blossom fairy in peach blossom nunnery." ”

From this sentence, he substituted his emotions into his hometown, a small village called Dawang Village in Torii Township.

There is nothing good about the small village, the houses are small, the fields are barren, the rivers are scarce, and the hearts of the people are oily, but there are peach forests, apricot trees, and cicadas.

That's home.

"The peach blossom fairy planted peach trees and picked peach blossoms for wine money. ”

"When you wake up, you only come to sit in front of the flowers, and when you are drunk, you come to sleep with the flowers. ”

He thought that if he was no longer an official now, but took Suisui, Eight Meow, and Jiuliu back to his hometown together, and when the time came, he would draw a peach forest, buy some land, plant his peach trees and drink his wine, would he be very comfortable?

Reading the poems one by one, a peach orchard spring light was built in his heart.

"If you compare flowers and wine to chariots and horses, he has to drive me to be idle. ”

Until now, Wang Qilin's heart is full of peach, but the sentence 'others laugh at me is too crazy, and I laugh at others can't see through it' changed his mood.

He thought about his own experience since he joined the Heavenly Prison.

In fact, he likes this poem very much, and many people feel that he is not normal, although the establishment of the Heavenly Prison was to protect the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment, but today, most people are just used to support their families or make a fortune.

Even if they are serious about errands, there are only demons and ghosts, and no one is willing to explore why the demons and monsters appear and whether there is any hidden meaning behind them.

Therefore, he is a bit different in the Heavenly Prison, and many people can't understand his thoughts, if you want to be promoted and make a fortune, then deal with the top and make good friends, if you want to protect the people, then kill the demons and monsters.

All in all, why do you have to investigate the case? Why do you have to meddle too much?

It must be in the hearts of many people who listen to the heavenly prison, and he Wang Qilin is a little crazy.

But Wang Qilin couldn't explain his pursuit, he wanted not only to protect the people, but also to give justice!

His original purpose in joining the Heavenly Prison was to find out what was going on in the earth world he had dreamed of at night since he was a child, and what was going on in the furnace of creation.

But as his skills increased, and as his official position increased, his pursuit changed.

He wants justice.

The justice of people, the justice of demons and monsters.

His thinking is not on the same level as the vast majority of people in the Heavenly Prison, and he is not on the same level as the people and demons and monsters in the whole world.

Indeed, no one ever saw through him.

Thinking of this, he was a little unhappy in the end, and left the last sentence alone: "I don't see the tomb of Wuling heroes, and I don't have flowers and wine to hoe fields." ”

His voice fell, and an unexpected cheer rang out: "Good poetry, good poetry!"

Tang You said depressedly: "Is Lord Wang using me as a stepping stone? This poem only tastes when you read it in your mouth." ”

Only Li Mao looked at Wang Qilin strangely and asked, "This poem should be an idyllic poem, but why does it have a taste of gloom and melancholy in the mouth of Lord Wang?"

Wang Qilin said: "It may be that everyone's circumstances are different, and their understanding of a poem is also different. ”

Li Mao said: "Lord Wang should be a proud horsehoe disease in the spring breeze, a handsome man who has seen all the Chang'an flowers in one day, you have stepped on the bluestone road since you joined the Tianjian Prison, and you have been soaring all the way to the sky, how can you ......?"

He noticed that Wang Qilin's gaze on him was wrong, and his words stopped abruptly.

Wang Qilin asked, "How do you know my experience after joining the Heavenly Prison?"

Li Mao smiled freely: "It's not a secret, Lord Wang is now the number one celebrity in the Heavenly Prison, and he is also a topic of conversation in the Hospitality Temple, and I have already understood your experience clearly in the Reception Temple." ”

Wang Qilin didn't believe it.

Because most of the high-ranking officials in the hospitality temple are well versed in the truth that trouble comes from their mouths, they all close their mouths very tightly, and they will not gossip about each other's news about a certain official.

Even if everyone wants to gossip, it is not their turn to gossip about him, and Tongwei is really not on the stage in the hospitality temple.

Li Mao investigated himself, and he immediately understood this.

At this time, a scholar pulled him away and said with interest: "Lord Wang, I have heard of your prestige, although our holy master has left the words of 'the son does not speak strange power and chaos gods', but "The Mean" also has words, erudition, interrogation, prudence, discernment, and practice, and I have made five contacts with ghosts and gods, and found that there are indeed ghosts and gods in the world, right?"

Wang Qilin nodded and said, "Yes." ”

The man was very happy and said with a smile: "Great, I told my classmates and friends about this, and they were not interested, and some even doubted it, because they had lived in Chang'an City for many years but had never encountered demons and monsters. ”

Wang Qilin secretly said This is normal, what demons and monsters dare to come to the capital to make trouble? It is rare for ordinary people to come into contact with them, not to mention the delicate flowers who are protected by the family in the greenhouse?

He responded to the young man, and the young man introduced himself: "My name is Zhuang Mengdie, because when my mother gave birth to me, my father really dreamed of butterflies, and then he has always had a very mysterious attitude towards me. ”

"He thinks I'm a fake, his fake son!"

When he said this, Wang Qilin could almost see a few black lines appear on Zhuang Mengdie's forehead.

It's really interesting to get this name, and it's also interesting for the dad who can take it out for his child.

He wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.

Among the high-ranking officials of the imperial court, there is only one surnamed Zhuang, the imperial historian Zhuang Feizi, who is a high-ranking official who can supervise hundreds of officials and restrain the prime minister.

Zhuang Mengdie was very talkative, and said to him with great interest: "Lord Wang, you must have seen many interesting tricks in Tingtianjian, can you tell me one or two?"

"Let's talk about the case of Liu Bo, the former county guard of the former and county guard, who tampered with the fate of the nobles and disrupted the academic politics of Pingyang Mansion. Another young man said with a smile.

A young man next to him who was pouring himself a silver wine jug raised his head and looked at them.

Zhuang Mengdie pushed the young man who was talking away and shouted: "Yu Er, Aman owes you five glasses of wine at the last banquet, I remember it clearly, don't you let him pay off this wine debt today?"

The young man fled in despair.

Zhuang Mengdie shook his head and walked over, and said, "Lord Wang, let's continue to talk about ours, you can tell me one or two tricks." ”

Wang Qilin guessed that the young man who poured himself was related to Liu Bo, and the young man Aman should be a little dirty with this person, so Aman wanted to use his own hand to provoke the opponent.

Fortunately, Zhuang Mengdie diverted the topic in time and drove Aman away, otherwise he would be quite embarrassed.

He was grateful to Zhuang Mengdie for his help, so after thinking about it, he told the first case he encountered after joining the Heavenly Prison.

That case made him remember it very deeply, he misunderstood the gas eater and was deceived by the half-skull, the case has development, there are twists and turns, and the best effect is to tell the story.

Sure enough, Zhuang Mengdie was attracted by his story and listened to it with relish.

After listening, he high-fived and said: "The first case that Lord Wang encountered when he joined the Heavenly Prison was so strange and strange, this must be the will of heaven, God used a strange case to open the way for you to listen to the Heavenly Prison." ”

Wang Qilin asked, "Mr. Zhuang seems to have experienced a strange thing as well?"

Zhuang Mengdie sighed, and her brows suddenly furrowed: "Alas, it is indeed a strange incident, and this matter has not been resolved until now." ”

He explained in detail: "You know, we all had companions when we were young, some of these companions were scholars, and some were quick and agile little showmen, and my companion was the latter, a little showman that my father invited from Bayi, named Tao Chan. ”

"Tao Chan's family has been in business for generations, and he is in the business of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but he has never been a famous scholar, but Tao Chan is very talented, and he was admitted to Xiucai at the age of twelve. ”

Wang Qilin grinned secretly, this capital is really an outstanding person.

Zhuang Mengdie continued: "But the interesting thing is that Tao Chan's fame is only Xiucai, he is a very talented person, but he is not interested in taking the fame, originally he wanted to continue to take the fame under his father's compulsion, but about six years ago, his father died of a vicious disease on the way to business, and he went back to inherit the ancestral business." ”

"You must already know that Tao Chan is now a master of Wenzhai, dealing with pen, ink, paper, inkstone and ancient books all day long, not only can read books but also does not have to be forced to take the test to gain fame, and also married a wife, living a really fairy life. ”

But on the day of the Lantern Festival, Tao Chan suddenly couldn't sleep, and I don't know what happened to him, alas, in short, he couldn't wake up. Lang Zhong said that he had sleeping sickness, Tao found the Jianghu stranger said that he lost his soul and could not wake up, and the master from the Southern Wilderness said that he was repaired to a wooden stupor, in short, he tried all means, and this Tao Cicada did not wake up. ”

Wang Qilin said, "Do you hope I can have a way to wake him up?"

Zhuang Mengdie nodded happily: "Yes, compared to those who sell their fame and reputation, you are a serious master, I think you may have a way to save him." ”

Wang Qilin smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Zhuang thinks highly of me, there are many talented people in the people, and the talented people who dare to come to the capital are even more genuine, if they are helpless about the situation of your old friends, I may not be able to help." ”

Zhuang Mengdie showed a disappointed look.

Wang Qilin said again: "But I'm willing to go and see what's going on, if God blesses him, maybe I can help a little." ”

Zhuang Mengdie was happy again, his temperament was like a child, he clapped his hands happily and smiled: "Great, you are a person with real skills, as long as you are willing to go, Lao Tao will be saved." ”

There was no program at the dinner, only a group of dancers came up to dance every once in a while, and the other time the second generation drank and chatted together.

Wang Qilin didn't expect that he was quite popular, almost everyone came to chat with him for a while, and it could be seen that these people were still very interested in demons and monsters and tricks, and they were especially interested in fox witches and demon girls.

When mentioning the witch, a young man named Mu Sha quietly laughed: "Do you know? There is an island in the South China Sea called Guzhou Island, which used to be entrenched by a group of pirates, and the pirates were exterminated by a group of Jianghu people two years ago, and the Jianghu people occupied the island and built a city, saying that it was called an overseas city, but there are also people who call themselves ...... outside the law."

A student from a public family stepped forward and said: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the king's land is the king's law, and this group of people built their own city and called themselves a city outside the law, which is really unreasonable!"

Impassionedly, the student looked at Liu Wen and said: "Ah Gu, let King Zunhuan guard the southwest, hold the male soldiers, and the warriors under his command are like clouds, why don't you go and exterminate the thieves in this outlaw city?"

Liu Wen, who was drinking, was stunned, he blinked his peach blossom eyes and said, "Yes, why didn't my father go and exterminate them?"

"How far?" the student asked.

Liu Wen said seriously: "From our Dian County to the South China Sea, it is almost two thousand miles. ”

The student was stunned: "Ah, so far, isn't it all south?"

Lang Yuncong said helplessly: "Brother Jun, the southeast and southwest are both south, the tiger and the gecko are both tigers, and the bull and the heavenly cow are both cattle?"

The others finally couldn't help it and started laughing.

The student knew that he had made a joke, so he had to sit down stupidly, muttering things like 'knowing is knowing what he knows, not knowing is not knowing is knowing', 'a gentleman is born on his own'.

Mu Sha was also laughing, and after laughing, he said: "There is no yamen in the outer city, but there are strict rules, and this rule is that whoever has a hard fist is good." ”

"Now there is a mysterious gang that rises very quickly, called Haitian Pavilion, their pavilion master calls himself a mad saint, and there is a golden boy and jade girl in the pavilion, among which the jade girl looks like a fairy and means like a snake and scorpion, so people call her a witch in private. ”

Liu Wen nodded with interest and said: "Yes, there is indeed such a thing, I have traveled to the Southern Wilderness, there is a sea in the south of the Southern Wilderness, the sea is unbelievably clear, the Lonely Boat Island is located on that sea, there are many people on it, and it is already like a small country." ”

"Where did they get the development resources?" asked Lang Yuncong curiously.

Liu Wen said simply: "Plundering at sea." ”

"Didn't the imperial court take care of it?"

"There are many ships in the overseas city, and we need sailors to deal with them, but the sailors in the south are dealing with the ronin and pirates from Fuso, so they are not skilled for a while. ”

"Ah, there are more pirates on the sea? These people are very bad, cruel and inhumane, and every time they land in my Kyushu, they will leave a lot of blood debts. A student whose family background is in the south sighed worriedly, "Is there another famine in Fusang?"

Liu Wen shook his head and said: "No, it was the Central Plains Martial Arts Grandmaster Sun Chan Master who went east to Fusang, and after he went, he educated the people and dealt with the traditional hegemonic forces on the island, drove these people out of Fusang, and forced them to invade everywhere." ”
