Chapter 233: Illiterate in his life
Ren Pingsheng followed the direction pointed by Xie Ke and quickly found the lotus pond in the southeast corner of Beihai Lake. The lotus pond is not small, there are more than ten acres, the koi carp in the water swims leisurely at the bottom of the lotus leaf, and the lotus pod hangs down the head of the hibiscus.
On the side of the lotus pond, there is a gentle slope on the bluestone slab steps, and at the end of the gentle slope is the elegant red building that is bustling and clustered. Upstairs window, a light like a bean. The ringed beads and slender shadows reflected on the window paper are obviously a slender woman with a thrush in the mirror.
What kind of woman would still be thrushing and grooming in the dead of night?
Could it be that he was deceived by some old man who told the story with a strange yin and yang? That guy doesn't look very reliable. It's not good that he colluded with those painting boats, and he was misled to come here, which is one of the methods used by the old liar.
It is that kind of yin and yang weirdness that will make people feel that he is more frank and honest, and he has no city.
Ren Pingsheng was very angry when he thought about it, but after all, he had traveled a long night, and if he didn't argue the truth in person, he would be really unwilling.
He walked up the short stone steps, but only about a dozen steps, for fear that if he walked too fast, he would inevitably deal with the loss of his position. So he slowly raised his steps and shouted loudly, "Ren Pingsheng of the Anvil Mountain in Luoma City, I came to visit late at night, and I am really sorry for the sudden beauty." It's just that there are some doubts in my heart, and I need to ask the young lady to explain them. If you don't mind, I beg the lady to give you a meeting. ”
In the small courtyard surrounded by flowers, there was silence, only the sound of ten thousand sounds. Xiao Lou Qianying, still thrushing, even the rhythm of the action has not changed.
This woman is really big-hearted! Ren Pingsheng was secretly vigilant, Rao asked himself that in such a small courtyard, even if it was full of big men in ambush at night, holding sharp axes, and a horizontal cigarette by himself, he could easily deal with it, but because of nervousness, beads of sweat were secreting from his palms.
"Miss see it or not, just give a reply. I am not an uninteresting person in my life, but whenever there is something offensive and abrupt, I will leave as soon as I say a word, and I will never drag the mud and water. Ren Pingsheng raised his voice slightly, but his tone was obviously a little weak.
The sound of frogs chirping in the pond was near, and the crickets in the forest were noisy; suddenly, in the thick shadows of the trees in the dense forest by the pool, which was closed on this day, a flash of lightning flashed, and it instantly crossed the sky! A burst of earth-shaking thunder roared incessantly, and the sound was so loud that it shook the ears and hearts.
Ren Pingsheng was taken aback.
I've never seen lightning bolts that can directly split the sky in half!
I have never heard such a loud thunder that shook the earth and shook the mountains!
He subconsciously covered his ears for a while, until the lingering sound was over, and from the time he let go of his hands, his heart beat faster and he couldn't stop panting.
Now he suddenly remembered that when he was in the capital, he forgot to look at the plaque on the top of the city gate, and he didn't know what the name of this city was.
When I came back to my senses and thought about it again, it was even more creepy.
Walking on the street, passing through every shop, you will naturally know what kind of shop it is, the restaurant, the stable, the pawnshop, the inn, the rouge line, and you will know it when you pass through the door. So I never noticed that there was not a word on the signboard on the door.
In this city, I have only seen eight words, "the workshop is heavy, and idlers are not allowed to enter". Now that I think about it, Ren Pingsheng is not quite sure, has he seen those eight words, or has he already understood the master's warning when he looks at the door?
It's a dream anyway, so let it be!
He could only soothe himself like this.
Even when the thunder exploded, Ren Pingsheng kept his eyes on the window with the lights on.
The shadows in the window are still unchanged! There is not even any panic to hide their ears.
Ren Pingsheng was suddenly ashamed. I had the heart to turn around and leave quietly, but I was not very willing, I always felt that there was something important that I had to meet with the woman in order to find out.
He looked up at the sky, there were no stars and no moon, and from where the low night was suppressed, he could see that it must be a terrifying scene of dark clouds pressing down on the city.
"The sky is about to rain, and the flowers and plants in this courtyard are probably going to be scattered again......" In Ren Pingsheng's impression, he had never had such sentimental words, but at this time, he blurted out, naturally.
Just like the words of some psychic people, or the words of a saint, Ren Pingsheng's words just fell, and suddenly there was a whistling sound in the distance in the forest, accompanied by the crackling trees falling upside down, and then there was a strong gust of wind swept by, and the flowers and plants beside the road, the grass and trees in the courtyard fell to the ground one after another, and even many were uprooted and flew away with the wind.
In an instant, it was a mess.
Ren Pingsheng picked off the grass leaves and flowers stained on his clothes, and the people had already arrived at the firewood in the small courtyard. In the corner of the door, in the messy grass under the bamboo fence, a corner of the stone monument is exposed.
Ren Pingsheng's heart moved, and when he pushed aside the messy grass, he got a glimpse of the whole picture of the stone stele. Ordinary bluestone material, the writing words are square, the strokes are clear, and it is impossible to distinguish whether it is a hand-me-down antiquity or a newly carved handwriting.
The calligraphy font of the inscription is beautiful, and it is obviously written by a woman.
Ren Pingsheng suddenly had a tingling scalp, and a wave of fear that penetrated his body and mind arose!
The words on the tablet, he didn't know any of them!
It's not that those words are so rare, and they are all the current common characters in the Xuanhuang world. Each one seems familiar, but if you want to read it, you don't know what the words are, let alone what they mean.
In my life, I haven't read a book for a day, and I haven't recognized a word properly.
In the past, whenever I saw the cliff inscriptions, or the articles in the books, the words one by one were recognized by the eyes, and once I saw them, I could remember them, and I didn't need to learn from anyone at all. Now seeing this messy stone tablet, Ren Pingsheng suddenly became alert, it turned out that he had never been literate in his life!
Subconsciously, he was faintly aware of this inscription, which was very important. Which storyteller with a strange body may refer to the "fate" that may have a lot to do with this inscription.
Ren Pingsheng squatted down, slowly touched the strokes of the words on the tablet with his fingers, searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, and wanted to dig out some clues from his mind.
It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The thunder in the sky became more and more earth-shattering, but there were no raindrops, and the dark clouds gathered and dispersed with the wind, and occasionally the moonlight fell through the clouds, and the figure of the young man in green shirt could be seen, squatting at the foot of the fence, staring blankly at the stone tablet.
Suddenly, a white light pierced through the clouds, blazing as the scorching sun, and shining on the earth as day. The white light was from west to east, and it was just a flash, and then a loud rumbling sound was heard, followed by a great earthquake, and the sound was like a bull turning over on the ground, and the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked!
Ren Pingsheng, who was immersed in the strange inscription, suddenly woke up, suddenly jumped up, and his figure instantly swept forward several feet, crossed the low bamboo fence, and fell into the small courtyard of the red mansion.
Turning his head and looking back, a bottomless ravine had been cracked out of the original foothold, the stone monument was gone, and the bamboo fence wall was crooked and slanted, but it was still intact.
Ren Pingsheng didn't plan to hold on any longer, so he shouted to the window, "The sky is falling apart, I'm afraid that a natural disaster will come, Miss take care; ”
This time, a woman replied from the small window, "Have you written down the content of the inscription?"
Ren Pingsheng smiled bitterly, so he had to tell the truth, "Miss is good at words, if she is in normal times, she will be willing to bow down, not to mention that when I come here, I have become illiterate." I remember the strokes clearly, go back to read hard, and wait until I recognize the inscription, and then come to visit. ”
Then he turned around and left.
"Wait!" I didn't expect the woman's voice to tremble slightly, "You really don't know any of the words on the tablet?"
"I'm ashamed, I'm not a shallow learner. Leave. Ren Pingsheng didn't explain much. In this dream city, there seems to be a rule that someone can control at will, and if you are in it, you can't help yourself, so it's better to leave early.
What's more, at this time, the thunder in the sky was angry, the earthquake trembled and cracked, and the woods by the lake were already full of desolation, and the situation was terrifying.
"Childe and live ......"
Ren Pingsheng lamented, when I wanted to see you, I didn't let a fart go, and now Lao Tzu sees that the opportunity is not good, what are you still talking about? Could it be that a talented woman here in the sky, a peddler who is only happy with illiterate peddlers?
The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, I didn't mean anything when I was here.
"If the son is not in a hurry, why don't you go into the house for a small gathering?" The woman's voice was tactful and tactful, not losing half a point to Li Xilian.
Look, isn't this coming? Lonely men and widows, openly come to visit you and don't see you; when will this be, you say a small gathering, a small gathering
"If the young lady is willing to meet, you might as well move downstairs, and let's get together in the corridor." After all, he took the initiative to come, and although Ren Pingsheng was eager to withdraw, he still responded against his will.
"It's really inconvenient for the concubine to go downstairs, if the son doesn't give up, just go upstairs by himself. That beautiful voice is now a little more ambiguous and soft, even if Ren Pingsheng's heart is like an iron stone, listening to it in his ears, his whole body is numb.
"If the hall door is unlocked, just push the door. ”
Taking advantage of the temporary break of the thunder, Ren Pingsheng was about to speak, when suddenly there was a loud earth-shattering sound in the west, carrying a burst of bright light in the western corner of the sky, as if the heavy clouds suddenly opened a hole and closed instantly.
Ren Pingsheng could perceive a very violent tremor in the sky above his head.
"Heaven and earth are visionary, Miss should hurry up and find a safe place to take refuge for a while. Ren Pingsheng looked at him left and right.
"This wooden building doesn't look very sturdy, and it's too late. ”
There was a sudden sneer in the window, which was an implied mockery, and the voice was still very tactful, "Dare to love is a misunderstanding of the concubine, thinking that since the son dares to fight the sword world, he must be a good man." ”
Mud Bodhisattvas have three points of fire, not to mention that Ren Pingsheng is a young man with blood and blood, how can he withstand such contempt from a young girl.
Of course, whether the other party is young or not is only his preconceived conjecture at present.
"Since Miss is not too abrupt, then you are welcome. Ren Pingsheng walked with his head held high, and pushed open the hidden door as he spoke, "It's just a word of advice, this place is not suitable for a long time, after seeing it, it is best for the young lady to leave with you." ”
Upstairs was silent, Ren Pingsheng was apprehensive, but his steps were not slow at all, and he climbed up step by step along the staircase with the handrail carved railing.
The door with the slightest light in the gap is close in front of you, and it seems to be far away in the sky.
At the age of sixteen and a half, Ren Pingke had never visited a woman's boudoir alone.
What's more, it's such a stormy night, when the night is quiet!
Ren Pingsheng's hand that subconsciously pushed the door changed instantly, and it was changed to three taps on the door panel.
