Chapter 8 White Plum and Black Robe
In a hillside somewhere in the south of the Yangtze River, there is a academy, and in the small courtyard in the northwest corner of the academy, a man is lying under a plum tree.
In this season of late summer and early autumn, this plum tree is unseasonably full of snow-white plum blossoms.
There is something strange in the whiteness.
The man was unkempt, his long hair was loose behind his back, and he was bare-chested, wearing only a black robe, and his eyes were always half-open with a decadence that would never fade.
The man stretched out his hand, and a snow-white plum blossom fell without wind and landed on the palm of his hand.
Behind the tree, a black tiger slowly raised its head. The color of its fur is exactly the same as the black of the man's robe.
"If there is no new little brother, the third child is at most to accompany the boss in Chang'an, how can he do such a willful act...... Hawkers, it can be regarded as the third child's high spirits. The man moved the plum blossom in his palm to his eyes and exhaled to blow the plum blossom.
The big black-furred tiger flicked its tail, and it didn't care about it.
The man grinned and said: "The third child is the character of a chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes, and the road is uneven, but it is a pity that when he arrives at the boss, he cares about it, he is not measured, he is at a loss, and he has to take into account the mood of the little brother, so he will go to find the bad luck of the emperor's family." ”
The man sat up and stretched: "The court, the emperor and the heavens don't want Chen Lin'an, who is a 'deviant' but the most orthodox scholar in the world, but it's useless to just kill him, not to mention whether to kill the boss of my family and how many people in the world will protect Chen Lin'an, who has 'two sleeves and a clean breeze', just killing him may be self-defeating." Therefore, the heavens and the world set up a big situation for him, not to kill people, but to punish his heart, so that in the end, his character and integrity were damaged, his literati backbone was broken, and he could not be a Confucian student again. Of course, this game is big, and it will be a little long before that moment. ”
"As long as Chen Lin'an is still Chen Lin'an, he will definitely fall here, after all, he is a person who is dedicated to the world. What if a man who is for the whole world comes to deal with him......? Think of a more appropriate way to put it, by the way, it's like fighting with someone but you can only fight back and scold and not fight back, then he won't be gone. ”
"But the game can be broken, how can it be broken?"
"The breakthrough is not in Chen Lin'an himself, not in Li Qinglian, not in Mr., not in heaven and on earth. The man just got up talking to himself, walked behind the tree, and sat on the black tiger with his ass, "It's me who breaks the game, Xu Lu." ”
"Of course, that's another story, and now it's just a little bit of a show, a fart. ”
Xu Lu threw out the plum blossom in his hand, and the snow-white plum blossom was swaying in the air, swirling, and returned to the plum tree. He looked at the tree, which was both beautiful and ugly. It's the same as he Xu Lu.
So he Xu Lu likes this plum blossom tree, likes the black tiger under his ass, and likes him Xu Lu himself.
There is a bright moon and a clear breeze in the sky, and there is no silt and bed bugs, but there is one in the world.
The black tiger spat out a human sentence: "Get out." ”
Xu Lu didn't obey, but leaned his whole body on the back of the black tiger: "Are you so idle to tell you that you have these things?" The old man's thoughts have always been with me, wanting me to go to Chang'an to persuade the fight, and more importantly, wanting me to get involved in the troubled waters of the boss from now on." Well, in fact, I don't need the old man to say anything, I'll naturally go when the time comes, after all, it's my brother. It's too early to show up in Chang'an now, but my husband urged me, so I could only go, and I already knew a little bit about the reason why the old man urged me, and I didn't bother to think about it, so it was all for persuasion. But I'm lazy after all, how can I be willing to leave without delay?"
"Besides, this kind of thing of persuasion, especially the one who persuades the third child, depends on the timing, and it is better to go early than to go smartly. ”
Xu Lu rubbed his face, he talked a little too much today. A little tired.
Changan.
Ying Tianchang looked at the golden auspicious clouds on the palace in the distance, squinted his eyes, but couldn't see the end. He felt a little wrong, the white fox at his feet was crawling on the ground, burying his head in his trembling body, and the bun in his arms was also a little panicked.
"What's wrong?" Ying Tianchang and Baozi are of the same mind, and he is also a little flustered now.
On top of that, he had never seen a bun like this.
The little black dog clung to the boy's chest, the only place he could get warmth. Baozi licked Ying Tianchang's neck and didn't make a sound.
By this time, the boy knew what was going on, and he seemed more at a loss than some resigned buns. Unconsciously, his right hand had touched the dagger that he had been hiding at his waist.
The dagger leaned against the jade.
When his finger touched Yujue, Ying Tianchang became even more flustered.
"Li Qinglian didn't lose, and now she hasn't even fought yet. ”
Cui Yu, who was originally on the city tower, suddenly appeared next to Ying Tianchang, he picked up the white fox lying on the ground and didn't dare to make any movement, and gently smoothed its fur with his hands.
Ying Tianchang turned his head sideways to look at the white-robed scholar he had thought was a madman before, his skin was as white as ice.
"What's on the clouds?" the boy asked. In fact, the boy didn't care what was on the golden cloud, he just wanted to talk to someone. The morning sun was warm and bright, but Ying Tianchang felt the biting cold of winter.
Even the buns are afraid of the golden cloud or what is above it. Ying Tianchang hugged the little black dog in his arms tightly, and he thought tremblingly.
"On that golden cloud is a heavenly gate, and the heavenly gate leads to the heavenly realm. Cui Yu said, "And at this moment, a group of heavenly soldiers and generals have gathered at the gate of Tianmen, if that one loses to Li Qinglian, these heavenly soldiers and generals will rush out of Tianmen and encircle and suppress Li Qinglian." ”
"Of course, it's not that I look down on Shijiu Sword Immortal, but it is impossible for that person to lose to Li Qinglian. ”
When Cui Yu said this, he was almost crying. Ying Tianchang watched a hot spring slowly gushing out between the ice, but his heart was inexplicably calm, and he said, "Senior Brother Li will not necessarily lose. ”
Cui Yu touched his face with his hand, pursed his lips, and there was a place in his heart that was completely overwhelmed by the boulder. Now everything is not only as Shen Nongyi said in the courtyard, even if Li Qinglian comes to Chang'an, it will not help, and even whether this "romantic and the most proud" poet and wine sword fairy can walk out of Chang'an safely. Ying Tianchang didn't know who the one who came down from the clouds was, he Cui Yuke could see it, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the initiative to quit.
The great god of the Three Altars Sea Society, the third prince of Nezha.
Who in the world can match it? Li Qinglian? In Cui Yu's eyes, it is really not necessarily, and it is almost the same if he is replaced by Li Qinglian's husband. Under Ying Tianchang's surprised gaze, Cui Yu slapped himself, and scolded himself in his heart that he might have too small a vision pattern and couldn't make a conclusion like this.
After this slap, Cui Yu couldn't hold back himself anymore, and hugged the white fox and cried bitterly. He longs for Chen Lin'an, who is a literati, and envies Li Qinglian, who fights the sword rivers and lakes, but the two people he admires so much, even if they are safe now, there will be no good results in the future.
The way of the world should not be like this.
He Cui Yu was walking on the road, and suddenly there was no way. He didn't know what was going on.
Ying Tianchang looked at this white-robed scholar, and didn't think how ridiculous or crazy his behavior was now, in his heart, he inexplicably sympathized with this scholar, and from the moment Cui Yu's tears fell, he had a good impression of this scholar. For some reason, he kind of understands this reader.
At this moment, a monstrous fire burst out from inside the Xuance Gate, and the fire was fierce, reaching straight into the sky, and even forcing the golden cloud hanging in the air to rise a little.
Several fire snakes came out of the shattered Xuance Gate and rushed towards Ying Tianchang and Cui Yu.
Cui Yu, who was crying bitterly, shook his sleeves and drew a white line on the ground, which emitted a warm light and blocked the fire snakes from the line.
Flames and light were intertwined, and Ying Tianchang's eyes were attracted by this brilliant picture.
The bun climbed up the boy's head, and the boy clutched his dagger tightly in both hands, and his heart burned like a flame.
Facing the scorching heat ahead, Cui Yu calmed down.
"There was a fight. Cui Yu glanced at Ying Tianchang and reminded, "Be careful, this is the true fire of Samadhi, with your current body, a little spark can turn you into ashes, and even your soul will burn out." ”
However, Ying Tianchang had already raised his dagger and slashed at the white line.
After this slash, the flames and light split in half, and then vanished.
Cui Yu closed his eyes, after Chen Yi, Xu Er, and Li San, Ying Si also lived up to his name. This is something he should have known.
Ying Tianchang stood in place, his eyes were almost blank. The fire inside the Xuance Gate became more and more raging, Ying Tianchang felt the rising temperature, and the blank space in his eyes was gradually replaced by a substantial thing, which was an emotion like the flame burning in front of him.
The little black dog jumped from the top of the boy's head and stood on the boy's shoulder, and it roared twice at the golden cloud in the Xuance Gate and in the sky.
The stubbornness in the voice is brought from the boy.
The young man touched the little black dog's head and walked towards the Xuance Gate.
"You can't get in. Cui Yu stopped him, "You can't deal with the samadhi true fire." ”
Ying Tianchang didn't speak, his mind was the dilapidated pavilion in the mountain forest half a decade ago, he stood in the pavilion, and the green grass in front of him was in front of him. But in his hand, he still had a handful of dead blades of grass firmly in his hand.
Those blades of grass exuded suffocating despair.
With desperation, the boy walked towards the flames.
Cui Yu fluted slightly, then turned sideways and made way.
But Ying Tianchang, who was so determined, was grabbed by the collar like a chicken cub after taking the first step. The little black dog roared loudly, and the man grabbed his neck with his other hand and threw him on the ground. In Ying Tianchang's eyes, a huge beast pressed the bun to the ground with its front paws.
It was a big tiger with black fur.
Ying Tianchang turned his head and barely saw the person who grabbed him, a tall man in a black robe.
The man's expression was like that of a cat waking up from a nap.
Ying Tianchang didn't know who he was, but he unexpectedly didn't feel dangerous.
"Late Qinghe Cui Shi Cui Yu, I have seen Mr. Xu. Cui Yu took a step back and said.
The man waved his hand, ignoring Cui Yu, and he twisted his wrist so that Ying Tianchang could face him face-to-face.
"Well, I still look like a literati, but unfortunately I don't have it in my heart. The man looked Ying Tianchang up and down, and then put him back on the ground, Ying Tianchang ignored the man's words, turned around and hurried to see the bun, and the bun was still trampled under the claws of the big tiger.
The man waved his hand, and the black tiger withdrew its front paws.
Baozi surprisingly didn't show a fierce face to the black tiger, and he didn't even dare to call out.
Ying Tianchang glared at the man. The man is very tall, two heads taller than Ying Tianchang today, and Ying Tianchang held his head high and clenched the dagger in his hand.
The man looked down and saw the dagger in Ying Tianchang's hand, his face wrinkled, and said: "The old man's paper cutter, I begged for so long when I was a child, and the old man didn't give it to me, and I gave it to you in a blink of an eye, heh, he is really eccentric." ”
Ying Tianchang showed a strange expression, and the hand holding the dagger moved to the inside of his body.
"Don't worry about me robbing you of your things, how can there be a saying that the senior brother bullies the junior brother. Having said that, the man slapped Ying Tianchang on the head, and the force was not small.
"Well, I don't dare to reason with the old man, that's all I have to do. The man also explained, his expression a little proud.
Ying Tianchang grinned in pain, but he smiled.
He knew who this person was, the somewhat crazy Senior Brother Xu in the mouths of Senior Brother Chen and Senior Brother Li, Xu Lu.
"Don't worry about the third child, although the third child will not win against Li Nezha, he will not lose to him. ”
"Little brother, don't go in, I'll be done with my brother. He said.
Xu Lu, who was wearing only a black robe, stretched his waist and stepped into the Xuancemen Square burning with the true fire of Samadhi in one step, and his voice came from inside: "Li Laosan and Li Laosan, stop fighting." ”
