Chapter 144: Southern Emperor
The scholar couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Xiao Jiang's answer, he thought that this anagram was quite difficult to guess, even if the two of them guessed, it would take half a day, on this narrow stone beam, no matter how high the young man's martial arts were, he was afraid that it would be difficult to stand for a long time, so he wanted to make the three of them retreat and go back obediently, but Xiao Jiang didn't seem to think about it, and replied casually, and couldn't help but be surprised.
I thought that these people were really extremely smart, but they had to come up with an extremely difficult topic to make it difficult for them, and looked around, and saw a row of palms on the side of the mountain, and the leaves moved with the wind, like waving a fan. ”
Xiao Jiang said with a smile: "The right pair is not as interesting as guessing the riddle, okay, if we are not right, it seems that you can't let us go, you are right." ”
The scholar waved his fan and pointed to a row of palms and said, "The wind swings the palms, and the thousand-armed Buddha shakes the folding fan." "This link is both impromptu and self-elevated.
Xiao Jiang said in his heart: "If I only take things as relative, without relevant meanings, I am not good at winning. ”
Xiao Jiang looked around, only to see a small temple on the flat ground opposite, there is a lotus pond in front of the temple, at this time July is about to end, the mountains are cold early, the lotus leaves have withered most of them, his heart moved, and he smiled: "Yes, I just offend the uncle, it is inconvenient." The scholar said, "But it's okay to say." ”
Xiao Jiang looked at the scholar and said, "You must not be angry. The scholar said: "Naturally, I am not angry. Xiao Jiang smiled and pointed to the scarf on his head and said, "Okay, my next link is: 'Frost withered lotus leaves, one-legged ghost wears a scarf'." ”
As soon as he said this, the scholar laughed and said, "Wonderful, wonderful! Not only is the battle neat, but also agile." Qin Nanqin couldn't help laughing when he saw that the lotus stalk was holding a withered lotus leaf, and it really looked like a one-legged ghost wearing a scarf.
The scholar laughed and thought to himself: "Ordinary pairs will definitely not be difficult for them, I can get an absolute." "I suddenly remembered that when I was studying in the school when I was a teenager, the teacher had said an absolute, no one could be neat for decades, and I couldn't say it, so I had to make it difficult for them, so I said: "I still have a couplet, please ask a few people to pair the next couplet: 'Qin Se Pipa, the head of the eight kings'." ”
When Xiao Jiang heard this, ordinary people may not be able to figure it out, but Xiao Jiang is from a later generation, so he replied according to Huang Rong: "There are eight king characters in the four characters of Qin Se Pipa, which is very difficult to correct. It's a pity that this is an old pair, and you didn't come up with it yourself. I was idle back then, and I had already come out. ”
The scholar said absolutely, expecting that a few people would not be able to come up, and he was very proud in his heart, but Xiao Jiang and Guo Jing asked him in turn, so he said in the head: "This coupling is extremely difficult, and I am not stable." But let's talk first, since you can't say it, you have to go back. ”
Xiao Jiang said with a smile: "If you want to be right about this, what is the difficulty? It's just that the Yicai Lian has already offended the uncle, and now this Lian is going to offend the four fishermen, woodcutters, cultivators, and readers in one breath, and it is unspeakable." ”
The scholar didn't believe it, and said in his heart: "You can face a thousand difficulties, how can you mock my four senior brothers at the same time?"
said: "But if you want to be right, what's the harm in making fun of it?" Huang Rong smiled: "In this case, I will accuse first, and this next link is: 'The four little ghosts have their own stomachs'." The scholar was shocked, stood up, waved his long sleeves, slammed Huang Rong to the ground, and said, "Bow down." Xiao Jiang waved his hand and smiled: "Agreed!"
In the original work, when Huang Rong was in danger, he remembered that when Huang Yaoshi made this pair, the four disciples Chen Xuanfeng, Qu Lingfeng, Lu Chengfeng, and Feng Mofeng were on the side, and Huang Yaoshi made a joke with the four disciples.
At that time, Huang Rong had not yet been born, but later I heard my father talk about it, but today it is used to transfer it to the four people of fishing, wood, farming, and reading.
The scholar snorted, turned around through the small gap, and said, "Please." Xiao Jiang saw that the scholar gave way, and immediately jumped over the gap, settled a little where the scholar was sitting before, and jumped over the last small gap.
The scholar seemed to think of something, and said from a distance: "I don't know, little brother, what do you think of what the sage of Confucius and Mencius said?"
"What?"
"There is a cloud in the book Mencius: "Men and women do not kiss, and they are courteous." ”
Xiao Jiang smiled and said, "I think Master Meng is talking nonsense, how can you believe this?"
The scholar was furious and said, "Master Meng is a great sage, how can he not believe his words?" Xiao Jiang couldn't help but sneered and said: "At that time, there was Zhou Tianzi, why did you talk about Wei Qi?" The more the scholar thought about it, the more right he became, staying in the local area, he couldn't speak for a long time.
It turns out that these two sentences said: During the Warring States Period, Zhou Tianzi was still alive, why didn't Mencius go to assist the royal family, but went to King Liang Hui and King Qi Xuan to ask for officials? This is inevitably a great violation of the way of the sages.
The scholar thought to himself: "These two sentences are only afraid that Master Meng will be underground, and it will be difficult to defend himself." At that moment, he stopped talking, led Xiao Jiang and Guo Jing, and the two walked forward. When passing through the lotus pond, when I saw the lotus leaves in the pond, I couldn't help but look at the Xiao River. Xiao Jiang smiled and turned his head.
The scholar led Xiao Jiang and others into the temple, Xiao Jiang took Guo Jing to sit in the east wing, and Xiao Shami served tea. The scholar said, "Three of you wait, wait for me to tell the teacher." ”
The scholar said and rushed out. Guo Jing was asking, "Brother Xiao Xian, I don't know why we are here?
Xiao Jiang replied: "The person who is just now is fishing, woodcuttering, farming, reading, and reading, they are the master of a lamp, that is, the Southern Emperor, we are here to call him." Only then did Guo Jing understand, nodded, and did not ask again.
Xiao Jiang smiled bitterly, he didn't have the blank paper in his bag now, but he drew the picture of Aunt Ying's flowers.
Xiao Jiang held the tea in his palm. About another tea hour, only to hear the footsteps in the palace, a little novice walked in, folded his hands, bowed, and said: "Three people have come here from afar, I don't know what you are doing?" Xiao Jiang said: "I have come to see Emperor Duan, and I am troubled to report." ”
That Xiao Sha Hehe said: "Emperor Duan is no longer in the world, and the three of you are tired of taking an empty trip." And please use vegetarian food, and wait for the little monk to send him down the mountain. Seeing this, Xiao Jiang smiled slightly and said: "I hope that Master Zunzun will read the love between the nine-fingered beggars and the people of Peach Blossom Island, and give me a face." Tell the master about the trouble.
Xiao Shami looked at Xiao Jiang, saluted, and turned to enter. This time, he returned soon, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Respectfully please, two." Xiao Jiang got up with Guo Jing and followed Xiao Shami inside.
I saw that although the temple looked small, it was very deep. Xiao Jiang and Guo Jing walked along a bluestone paved path with Xiao Shami, and then passed through a bamboo forest, only to feel that the green shade was forested, extremely quiet, and it was annoying.
There are three stone houses hidden in the bamboo forest. Xiao Shami gently pushed open the door of the house, let him aside, and bowed down to invite Zhang Feng and the three of them into the house. Xiao Jiang saw that Xiao Shami was polite and polite, and he had a good impression of him, smiled at him and thanked him, and then walked in side by side with Guo Jing.
I saw a stove of sandalwood lit on a small table in the room, and a monk sitting on each of the two futons on the side. A dark-skinned, high-nosed and deep-eyed person is a native of Tianzhu. The other was dressed in a coarse cloth monk's robe, with two long eyes hanging down, his face was kind, and although there was a hint of sorrow between his eyebrows, his graceful and noble look was clear at a glance. The scholar stood behind him.
Seeing this, Xiao Jiang gently pulled Guo Jing's hand, and the two walked up to the long-eyebrow monk together, bowed and saluted: "Junior Xiao Jiang, take Guo Jing, see the predecessor of the 'Southern Emperor'." The long-eyebrow monk smiled slightly, stood up, and said with a smile: "Seventh brother has received two good disciples." Listen to him," he said, pointing to the scholar, "The three literary and martial arts are far superior to my inferior disciples, haha, congratulations." ”
