Dingzhou capital city, in the Xiangteng Inn.

This person who stood at the door and chanted poetry loudly was three and a half of wine with Liu Ruiying.

When he had finished groaning, he walked straight up to the girl and watched her silent.

"Huh, what's the matter?"

The girl asked.

"It's okay, just looking good. ”

The wine three halves said.

"It's not good to wait for a hungry person to eat...... Go to the back hall to help me urge the fried chicken, and when you are full, the old lady will let you see enough!"

The girl said.

After hearing this, the third half of the wine actually walked to the back hall, but was stopped by Xiao Er.

"This guest officer, you can't go in. ”

The little second brother said with a smiling face.

"But this girl asked me to urge the fried chicken, but I had to go in. ”

The wine three halves said.

"Objectively, it's really not good. Since the delisting of our Xiangteng Inn has been hung up, it is such a rule. ”

The little second brother said, and at the same time moved out of the signboard of the Xiangteng Inn to speak.

But he used this trick to the wrong target.

How can the third half of the wine know what the signboard of the Xiangteng Inn is? He only cares about what he promises, and he must do it.

"Then you can take off the signboard first, and I'll help you if it's inconvenient?"

Jiu Sanhan pointed to the door and said.

"Okay! Well said!

As soon as he heard that the wine was about to tear down the signboard of the Xiangteng Inn, the people in the hall who had not been able to make fun of this girl began to make waves again. Slapping the table, knocking on the dishes, all of them are waving the flag and shouting for the wine.

When the second brother saw this situation, he was also angry, and he rolled up his sleeves and said: "Hey! Why are you so messing around! If you say that you can't enter, you can't enter, what are you yelling about? You also want to take off the signboard of our Xiangteng Inn, do you have the guts? Even if you dare, do you have that ability? Do you know how heavy this signboard is, it can smash you to the ground when it falls, and you can't pick it off! Look at you like this, why are you here? Is this a place where you can enter? Don't you have to go to the back hall to steal swill to eat!"

As soon as the second brother's voice fell, he ended up with a full house.

"Huh!"

No one saw how the three halves of the wine came out of the sword.

In a blink of an eye, the long sword was already on the neck of the little second brother. He was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he trembled, and he couldn't say a word when he opened his mouth.

"This guest officer, please be calm. Xiangteng Inn is not a place where you can go wild!"

The shopkeeper also knew that the words of the second brother were indeed a bit heavy, but he was also for the reputation of this Xiangteng Inn, wasn't it?

"He insulted me, so I killed him first, then took off the sign, and then went to the back hall to urge the fried chicken. In this way, is it in line with the rules? ”

The wine looked at the shopkeeper and said.

"Hey, you're a real man...... Don't rush, take the sword back!"

This girl couldn't stand it, but she didn't expect to say it casually, this person would be so serious. And looking at the momentum and momentum he had just now, it doesn't seem to be fake.

"Brother Three-and-a-half!"

Liu Ruiying greeted from afar.

Tang Zhongsong was very surprised that Liu Ruiying would meet an acquaintance here.

"Liu Ruiying, wait a minute!"

The third half of the wine was also overjoyed when he saw Liu Ruiying beckoning to him.

"Are you sure you don't need me to help you go to the back hall to urge?"

The third half of the wine said to the girl.

"No, no, your friend called you. ”

Obviously, this girl was also frightened by him, and she was going to kill someone in less than three sentences, who wants to entangle with this kind of person too much?

"Then you said that when you're full, let me see enough and count?"

The wine three halves said.

When the girl heard this, she almost choked on a sip of wine...... Hurriedly patted his full chest. This scene made Liu Ruiying look very moved.

"What do you want to see. ”

The girl asked, stunned.

Thinking that he only wanted to dare to say something indecent, he immediately cut out his tongue.

"I want to see you laugh. ”

The wine three halves said.

The girl rolled her eyes, then squinted at him and smirked, and then immediately took it back.

"Enough!"

The girl said coldly.

"The mouth of the show is slightly sipping the nose, and the spring water is condensed with the fragrance of Qing'e. The drunken face and wine are more delicate, and the Dongfeng show bed is crispy. ”

The third half of the wine actually recited another poem.

"Qing'e Xiang...... Show Bed ...... Point Crisp Lady ......"

This girl only remembered these three words, and she always felt a little awkward, especially with the word "E". And the show bed is a little crispy, but it makes her blush rise sharply.

"Dare to ask the girl's name?"

The wine three halves asked.

"Ou Xiao'e ......"

The girl's voice was very quiet.

"Hahaha!

The wine sanhan laughed loudly, and then strode towards Liu Ruiying.

It turned out that this girl's name actually had a word for E, and the poem "Spring Water Condensing Qing'e Fragrance" made by Jiu Sanban just now also had a word for E. Isn't this the most strange thing in the world? What else could it be if it wasn't providence?

"Did the third half brother just arrive in the royal city?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

Just now, he had already told Tang Zhongsong about his acquaintance with the third half of the wine. After listening to Liu Ruiying's description and seeing what Jiu Sanban did just now, Rao is Tang Zhongsong couldn't help but be amazed.

"Jiuxing Village...... It seems like I've never heard of it. ”

Tang Zhongsong thought to himself.

"yes, I'm a slow walk...... But he had just arrived. ”

When the third half of the wine saw that there was wine on the table, he looked at it with a blank eye, and replied with a wooden voice.

"Didn't the third half brother come on horseback?"

Liu Ruiying asked in some surprise.

"I sold it, and I drank it in exchange for wine. Later, when the wine was finished, I walked more slowly......"

The wine three halves said.

Liu Ruiying saw that his eyeballs were about to fall out, and rolled into the wine soup, so he hurriedly poured him a full glass, but he didn't expect that Liu Ruiying intended to let himself drink when he saw that the wine was three and a half of the wine, so he took the wine jug and poured it into his own gourd, and then began to drink it "coo".

Liu Ruiying couldn't help laughing, and teased: "Brother Sanhan, these three halves, I'm afraid it's broken this time, right?"

"Hahaha, it's an imaginary number, you don't have to take it seriously, you don't have to take it seriously......"

It wasn't until the gourd wine was drunk that the third half of the wine freed up his mouth to speak.

"I heard that the third half brother is extremely chic all the way!"

Tang Zhongsong said.

"Alas...... It's really embarrassing to talk about chic. ”

"When I went out, the villagers gave me a lot of silver, and I put it in that fur coat. As a result, I forgot to take it out when I exchanged it for wine......"

The third half of the wine said helplessly.

"Since the third and half brothers have silver taels, why do they exchange fur coats for wine?"

Tang Zhong asked puzzled.

"The people in the village said that the silver taels were for me to eat. ”

The wine three halves said.

Tang Zhongsong was speechless.

What this brother means is that silver taels are used for eating, so you can't buy wine. If you want to drink, you have to think of other ways to solve it.

No wonder he was so serious with that little second brother just now, it turned out that his thinking was so simple and straightforward.

"Then what should you do if your fur coat, silver taels, golden turtles, and horses are gone, and sell this sword?"

Liu Ruiying teased.

"It's not going to work......"

Jiu Sanban tightened the azure long sword in his arms and said.

"So I'm not going to go looking for Jiuquan. It's not that you can't go...... I just didn't go first. I'm going to go to Nabo Gulou to take a grade first, and I heard that if you have a grade, you will have two silver taels, and then use this silver tael to buy a horse, so that you can continue to look for Jiuquan. ”

The wine three halves said very seriously, obviously planning repeatedly in their hearts.

"The third and half brothers are talented in reciting two poems, and they are brilliant in writing, I don't know what grade they are going to apply for this time?"

Tang Zhongsong asked.

"What is the highest grade?"

The wine three and a half asked rhetorically.

At this time, even Liu Ruiying was surprised.

He only knew that the third half of the wine did not know his grade, but he did not know how many grades the third half of the wine did not even know how many grades there were in total.

Where did he come from...... What kind of immortal place is Jiuxing Village? It is able to give birth to such a person who is ignorant of the world.

"A total of eight ......"

As a last resort, Tang Zhongsong had to explain to him the grade division of this scholar.

"Oh...... Then let's have an eight-pin golden silk day. If you have money, you should get more money at the higher grade, right?"

The wine three halves asked.

“......”

“......”

Liu Ruiying and Tang Zhongsong didn't know how to continue to say this...... Although he is indeed quick-witted and poetic. But what is the concept of the golden silk day? That is a living sage in the world, and the status in the hearts of the scholars is not known how many times higher than that of the five kings, how can you be quite able to be it?

If others say this, they are either childish and courageous, or they are simply a complete fool.

And this wine is three and a half, but it is the third kind in addition to these two kinds of people, so that Liu Ruiying and Tang Zhongsong can't define it.

Ou Xiao'e's fried chicken has been served.

No more, no less, exactly half of the pepper.

I saw that Ou Xiao'e was going to bring an empty bowl again, and little by little she picked all the chili peppers in it into a bowl, and then took a bite of chili peppers and a bite of chicken, as if eating with rice......

Although everyone in the Dingxi Domain can eat spicy food, it is the first time to see such a way of eating chili peppers, and they can't help but widen their eyes.

Although Ou Xiao'e asked for two chickens, she only ate chicken heads, chicken wings, and chicken legs, and discarded the rest.

She muttered while eating: "Eat a chicken head, rather be the first than the last; eat a chicken wing, shake the phoenix for a while? Eat a chicken leg, and the three-year return date will be the crown!"

"Does the third half brother have a place to live?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"Anywhere you can sleep!"

The wine three halves said.

Liu Ruiying shook his head and chuckled, this person who can compose poetry is amazing. It's obviously a homeless man sleeping on the street, but it makes him say it so chic, which is quite a bit of the taste of becoming a fairy queen in the world.

However, since the third half of the wine is going to the main building of Nabogu Building, it happens to be with him...... Looking at him like this, he doesn't look like an evildoer, and his martial arts cultivation realm must be outstanding. I don't know much about Bo Gulou, and I can be a companion when I walk with him. No matter how bad it is, it won't be too boring along the way.

So, Liu Ruiying called the shopkeeper to set up a room and gave the wine three halves to live.

The third half of the wine held the key to the door and was silent for a long time...... In the end, I couldn't say any more poems and songs, but just hugged my fists and said, "Thank you."

Liu Ruiying felt a little guilty......

Because his kindness to the wine is mixed with selfishness, and he is not so frank. And for a simple-minded person like Jiu Sanhan, this drop of water will be reciprocated. So at the moment, he bought a few jars of wine and asked the little second brother to send him to the room.

Then Tang Zhongsong and Liu Ruiying drank a few more glasses, and then returned to Dingxi Palace.

————————————

Inside the palace of Dingxi Wangfu.

Zhang Xuexue was standing in the center of the main hall, staring at Huo Wang.

"So, after throwing the sword, you abandoned martial arts?"

Huo Wang said.

Last time, the two of them bumped into each other on the way to Dingzhou from Dingxi Wangcheng, but what Zhang Xuexue said to Huo Wang, he still remembered it very clearly.

"Definitely. ”

Zhang Xuezhi said.

"Then why did you remove the king's list?"

Huo Wang asked.

"Because Tang Zhongsong was already my student when he was in Dingzhou Fucheng. ”

Zhang Xuezhi said.

"How?"

Huo Wang asked.

"We said it was like a dice. I'm small, he's big, and I lose. And the bet is that I will be his teacher. ”

Zhang Xuezhi said.

"Haha, that's interesting...... What did you teach him?"

Huo Wang asked with a smile.

"The first time I ran away and didn't teach anything. The second time I caught up with the wolf rider, I ran into it again, and after two days of teaching me miscellaneous things, I ran away again. ”

Zhang Xuezhi said.

"Then why did you come this time?"

Huo Wang asked with a frown, he felt that Zhang Xuejiu's trip didn't seem to be for Tang Zhongsong.

"I want you to do me a favor. ”

Zhang Xuezhi said.

"What's the busy?"

Huo Wang asked.

"But since you spoke, I'm afraid this thing won't be easy. ”

He already knew who Zhang Xuezhi was, but he didn't break it at the moment. In fact, there are still several similarities in the circumstances of the two, but now they are very different.

One person lives at the height of the temple.

The other person is far away.

However, since it is across the mountains and seas, the two sides will not have any entanglement of interests. But if he helped with this, he couldn't say that he would be able to make such a strong person owe a favor, just like the last appointment with Ren Yang.

"Master, I'll ...... back"

Tang Zhongsong, who returned to the palace, came to report to Huo Wang, and saw Zhang Xuexuan sitting in the main hall, but he didn't even say everything for a while.

In all fairness, Huo Wang is still very good to Tang Zhongsong. The standard of living is even higher than when he was in the Dingzhou Prefecture.

The only bad thing is...... He's too idle.

Thinking about the original life, Tang Zhongsong played two roles, the second ancestor of the scoundrel, and the poisonous snake who was only waiting to deliver a fatal blow. It's just that these two characters are really not so good at setting up a relationship and maintaining a good balance.

For so many years, Tang Zhongsong was like a small sailboat in a storm. He steers the stereo cautiously, not being swept down by the wind and waves set off by either of the two roles.

"What did Liu Ruiying say?"

Huo Wang asked.

"He didn't say anything, he was just excited to see me go. So we drank for a while, and we didn't come back until this time. ”

Huo Wang smiled, he knew that Tang Zhongsong was telling the truth.

With Liu Ruiying's friendship with herself, she won't say anything good about herself at all...... It is already heaven to have the word "thanks".

"This ...... And you're an old friend. ”

Huo Wang pointed at Zhang Xuexue and said to Tang Zhongsong.

"Well, we're old acquaintances...... To this day, I don't know where the dice that I swallowed went to. ”

Tang Zhongsong said teasingly, but in his heart, he began to figure out what happened during his absence...... This long-lost feeling made him very excited, and the pent-up emotions for so many days were alleviated at once.

"You said you wanted this king to do you a favor, but what is it?"

Huo Wang turned to Zhang Xueyu and asked.

"Help me find someone, just grab it and give it to me. ”

After Zhang Xuezhu finished speaking, he depicted the appearance and image of the broken lover.

The image of a broken lover is too distinct...... It's the kind of thing that you can't forget when you walk down the street and glance at it for three days and three nights.

The reason why Zhang Xuejiu didn't look for it himself, in the final analysis, was because he was soft-hearted and couldn't do it...... But if Huo Wang is allowed to come forward, then this matter will be much easier.

He waved his hand, and the king ordered, and there was no hiding place for this broken lover. As long as Huo Wang sends a few more hard hands and takes it down with a large army, it will be done.

"Give the king a reason to help you. When we met, I gave you 5,000 gold. I can't just do you this big favor again. And I know it's easy to say, but this man is certainly not going to be an easy person. ”

Huo Wang said, but he wanted to hear Zhang Xuexue's bargaining chips first.

"You posted Wang Bang, Mr. Xun taught Tang Zhongsong Wendao, but for the sake of the literary dragon and tiger fight held in Zhongdu this year?"

Zhang Xuezhu avoided answering Huo Wang's question.

"Exactly. ”

Huo Wang said directly.

"If I can let Tang Zhongsong win the top three in the literary world, then are you willing to help me with this. ”

Zhang Xuezhi said.

Huo Wang smiled contemptuously.

Zhang Xuezhen will finally be wrong...... Just now, he still had a sense of loss that his mind was seen through, but now he has returned to the pride of turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain and laughing at the heroes of the world.

"After all, you're still inferior to me......"

Huo Wang thought in his heart.

"How could this king covet that sour name? But if you can let Zhongsong enter the main building of Bogu Building, and successfully obtain a high-grade grade, your affairs can also be discussed. ”

Huo Wang changed his words and said.

——————————————————

Inside the Xiangteng Inn.

Liu Ruiying returned to the room, ready to break through his two loose air pockets, thanks to the epiphany when he saw Tang Zhongsong during the day.

If you want to talk about this breakthrough, the two schools of ascetic cultivation and freedom are still debated to this day.

The ascetic school believes that breakthrough is a process of accumulation, and that it is impossible to reach thousands of miles without accumulating steps, but only by taking one step at a time, and walking through it in a down-to-earth manner. If you skip a certain step, or rush to pull out the seedlings, then even if you are lucky enough to break through, it will be like a pavilion, and the foundation will be unstable.

The Loose Sect, on the other hand, has a very different perception of this. They do not deny the necessity of cultivation, but they believe that in addition to cultivation, they should increase their knowledge and knowledge, understand life, and understand human nature. The accumulation of cultivation and the accumulation of mental nature go hand in hand, waiting for an opportunity at the same time, and there is an epiphany like Liu Ruiying did before.

But there are extreme exceptions, and extreme ascetics give rise to the concept of "self-sacrifice." They use self-mutilation to increase their cultivation in a perverted way, and because of the worship of death, they use slaughter to combine the evil forces between heaven and earth, which is ultimately intolerable by the world. Time has passed, but the vein of "sacrificing one's life" has gradually disappeared.

Comparatively speaking, the method of the Loose Sect seems to be more subtle, after all, it is the cultivation of the mind that can determine how far it can go in the future.

However, any epiphany has a premise, and it will not appear in a vacuum. It must have been the inspiration that can only be obtained after a long period of serious thinking and feeling, so countless martial arts sages divided it into three stages according to the depth of the epiphany.

The first stage is "the thought arises in an instant".

It means that when you are experiencing a bump or stagnation, a lot of thoughts suddenly come to you. These are ideas that have never appeared before, and the fundamental solution to the problem is hidden in these various ideas, and you need to pick them out yourself.

The second stage is to "see the truth of one's nature."

After the first screening, you will always get some ideas that can solve the problem. But these ideas are not the end result, nor do they achieve the ultimate goal. And the second level of epiphany is to make people grasp the essence of the problem with certainty, and at the same time understand whether their own objective conditions can completely solve it. It's like a worm can't swallow a tiger or a leopard, and a giant fish in the East China Sea can't eat a worm on land. No matter how strong the strength is, there will always be a direction.

And the highest third order is called "is for the great master".

It means that no matter what kind of cause and effect, what kind of opportunity, what kind of ups and downs, what kind of setbacks, as long as there is a third-order "for the great master", then everything will be solved. There is no need to choose, there is no need to introspect, and it has nothing to do with the nature of the problem or its own conditions. Everything is like a matter of course, like raining to collect clothes, and it is commonplace to solve every day, and the breakthrough is completed.

Liu Ruiying only felt the air pockets loosen, indicating that he was already between the second level of "Suddenly Seeing the True Nature" and the third level of "being a great grandmaster".

Just as he was about to gather his spirit and focus on the breakthrough, there was another knock on the door......

"Hmm, may I ask the girl?"

As soon as Liu Ruiying opened the door, she found that the person who came was Ou Xiao'e, the "sword heart" of the Ou family.

"Are you going to Bogu Building?"

Ou Xiao'e was not polite at all, nor did it mean that she was called, so she asked on the spot.

"Uh...... Yes, I don't know ......."

"Count me in! I'm going too!"

Ou Xiao'e held the Bauhinia short sword, and her right arm was stretched straight and high, which suddenly made the fullness of her chest even more upright.

"Okay, Miss Ou is going with you, we happen to be three people on the way!"

Before Liu Ruiying could answer, the third half of the wine next door suddenly opened the door and said.

However, Ou Xiao'e always has some awkwardness when she sees the three halves of wine...... He always felt that this person was not literate, and he said that he was not martial, and he casually recited a few lines of obscene poetry and even carried his own name, which made her quite uncomfortable.

ignored him at the moment, let alone answered, just quietly waiting for Liu Ruiying to speak.

"So...... That's good, so let's go with us!"

Liu Ruiying had no choice but to agree.

After hearing this, the wine on the side laughed happily and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to get you two drunk once along the way!"

"Hehe, do you want to get drunk old lady, let's go to the next life! If you coax it then, it's useless to lick the soles of this girl's shoes!"

Ou Xiao'e chatted with cruel words and left angrily.

Liu Ruiying returned to the room and sighed deeply, it seems that it is impossible to say what kind of chickens and dogs are jumping along the way......

"Oujia 'Kenshin' ......"

He thought to himself.

Ou Xiao'e returned to her own arrows and went to a booklet from her personal place. The four bright red words on the cover, "Wei Family Tree", seem to be written in blood.

As soon as she opened it, she turned to the page she read most often, the page was wrinkled, the ink was smeared, and there were tears everywhere...... But she had to read it every day.

Ou Xiao'e trembled, took a deep breath, and then read softly:

"The soul of the soul is thick, the ghost and the ghost swallow eight hundred princes, the gods and ghosts are unpredictable and worry-free, the withered flowers and leaves are splendid, and the corpse smells of the corpse, and there is no softness when it enters the pass, so it is vigorous and vigorous.

The brothers and uncles of Ji You ran separately, and the white fish entered the boat and then climbed the hundred-foot dangerous building, so they put a knife in the two ribs.

Surrounded by no freedom, the most difficult to leave the sorrow, choked throat and choked in the heart, sisters and brothers are still young, and they can only worship Yin Shou every year, only to meet again in their dreams, so they put three relatives and six relatives together.

The flowing water peach blossom is in the heart, it is difficult to leave the soul of the Chinese girl, and who is the new and the old, the twilight and the red step on the star, once disgusted with the slang and shallow, the love is more than Jin Jian is invincible for half the day, so the sea vows and mountains are hooked.

How can Chunhui be rewarded for inches of grass, how can he help his hands when his flesh and blood are connected, and his blood is thicker than water? But it is an all-encompassing thing in the world, and grace is as heavy as a mountain, and he suffers from it, and Yin and Yang are forever separated only by tears and humility, so he hooks up the loyal daughter Shun'er.

There is no need to become famous, wandering and indulging in wine, drunk and blowing the wind and hugging willows, waking up and recovering sorrow, and having no friends with drooping yellow hair, so he is uninhibited and uninhibited.

The bright moon is in the arms and let the wandering, the family is not stupid, the country is not invested, the mountains are firewood and fishing, the rotten Ke people have spent the cold and summer spring and autumn in vain, crying blood and breaking the intestines and the heart is secluded, and the sweet and simple is to spread the flat boat, so the red dust and the world are hooked. ”
