Chapter 19: Luofu's Eight Questions
Wenshu Monastery is close to the mountains and rivers, and the small buildings in the village are quiet and chic.
Chen Danqing is half a literati and ink writer, and has been influenced by the picture scrolls of the Manchu Courtyard since he was a child, so he naturally knows how to entertain Su Hanshan and Li Tianxia, two princes who are accustomed to seeing the Jade Palace Golden Tower in different dynasties but of the same age......
There is a mirror lake with lotus flowers blooming all over the backyard of Zhuangli, there is no lotus pavilion in the center of the lake, but there is a tower around the eaves hanging a thousand lights dancing in the wind, that is the Wenshu Monastery Tibetan Painting Building. Many famous painters in the rivers and lakes of Jiazi Nian have ink treasures hidden here, which can be described as a veritable holy place of small buildings.
Chen Danqing, the owner of the courtyard, stood at the foot of Qiandeng Tower with his hands and sleeves, and saw Su Hanshan and his group of five people from a distance, so he hurriedly shook his spirits, turned around and said hello to the old master and apprentice in the building, and quickly greeted him.
I learned from the Xiangshi that the Nine Emperors of the Sutang Empire grew up in the Taohuashan Temple outside Gusu City since he was a child, and now he is returning to the north for the first time. Chen Danqing stepped forward to salute and looked at the five people slightly.
Old man Huang Mei and Huang Shang'er don't need to say much. Gu Changting is heroic and wears a Qiutang knife on his waist, although his appearance is handsome, but he lacks the spirit of noble Confucianism. He looked at Li Tianxia, the prince in white and holding a sword, and Su Hanshan, who was wearing a green shirt with a wooden hairpin.
Chen Danqing has studied countless paintings in half his life, and has his own eyesight that ordinary people can't reach, and after distinguishing the respective identities of Li Tianxia and Su Hanshan, he wants to bow down.
Luofu Mountain Wenshu Monastery is located in the rivers and lakes, but Chen Danqing, who was admitted to the Xiucai when he was young, is not a person from the rivers and lakes, so he is a scholar.
Li Tianxia's eyes were fast, and he stretched out his scabbard to support Chen Danqing's arms and said, "Excuse me." ”
Chen Danqing was slightly stunned.
Thinking that this is the rivers and lakes, he is no longer restrained: "Thank you to the two sons." ”
Li Tianxia nodded and said, "How does the master of the Chen courtyard know the itinerary of the prince, and he specially instructed the scholar to wait under the mountain?"
Chen Danqing turned sideways to give way.
In the Thousand Lamps Building, a lame young Taoist boy walked with the old master in his arms.
Chen Danqing explained: "Don't dare to deceive Your Highness. It was the old master who told him kindly, so he learned that the two sons had arrived at the foot of Luofu Mountain. I'm really ashamed to be slack. ”
When Su Hanshan heard this, he looked at the master and apprentice.
Li Tianxia was also extremely curious.
There are two kinds of people who know everything about their return to the north, one is the companion, and the other is the killer who wants to take the head of Su Han Mountain.
I don't know which kind of master and apprentice this pair is.
Of course, he will not be as direct as asking Trumenke, usually most of the old rivers and lakes are like carp in the river, too slippery.
can only listen to the side: "The old gentleman is really a senior master, and he can predict the itinerary of the younger generation." Li Tianxia rarely has admirers in this life, but he throws himself to Mr. ”
The so-called thousands of wears, sycophants do not wear.
The noble prince has been complimented since he could understand people's words, and this kind of rhetoric that can make people flutter more than the wine of the rivers and lakes comes casually, without the need for a draft.
Originally, Huang Shang'er and Old Man Huang Mei despised Li Tianxia's shameless behavior one after another, and there was really no prince who should have looked like once. But after listening to the old man's answer, he knew that there were mountains outside the mountains and people outside the people.
"Childe's words are true. The old way travels the rivers and lakes, astronomy and geography, medicine and astrology, even if the world is pushed back and forth for 300 years, there may not be anything that the old man does not know. The old physiognomy in the robe with the star map was extremely proud, and he was very proud of his long beard, which seemed to be very flattered by Li Tianxia.
Li Tianxia said with a smile: "In this way, the junior really has some questions to ask Mr. ”
"The old way must know everything. ”
Chen Danqing, the head of the Wenshu Monastery in Luofu Mountain, saw that the prince and the old master were talking happily, and looked at Li Tianxia with a look of hatred in his eyes.
Hurriedly invited a few people into the Thousand Lights Tower......
The old man Huangmei has no interest in the so-called old physiognomy who knows each other for 300 years, this kind of warlock who can eat all over the rivers and lakes with one mouth, how can he see less in his hundred years of experience in the rivers and lakes?
simply carried the chessboard on his back and went to play chess alone.
Gu Changting, who never left the Qiutang knife, was vigilant at the beginning. Ordinary people, etc., who would be interested in the itinerary of His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes?
But when he saw the old master, it was really difficult for him not to associate with the magicians who were abducted and deceived in the rivers and lakes.
So far, he has only entered the court once because he received an errand to escort the Nine Emperor Princes to the north, and he doesn't know the name of Mr. Nanhuai, the Qintianjian Eunuch, let alone knows his face.
Gu Changting, who relaxed a little but still didn't dare to take it lightly, followed, stopped in front of the door of Qiandeng Tower, and stood outside the door.
The fragrance of tea in the lamp tower is overflowing.
Chen Danqing is not a vassal and elegant, he really took out the seabed pearls that he had treasured for a long time when he was entertaining distinguished guests, where would he give it on weekdays.
Invited to sit down, Su Han Mountain looked around.
Seeing that there were some ink paintings hanging on the four walls of the building, I was attracted to my eyes for a while.
Huang Shang'er knelt next to Su Hanshan, the greedy girl couldn't see the fragrance of tea, and hurriedly picked up the tea cup in front of her and took a sip while it was steaming, showing surprise on her pretty face.
Pulling the corner of Su Hanshan's sleeve, he carefully handed over the teacup: "Brother Su, taste it." ”
Li Tianxia, who was always thinking about business, glanced at Su Hanshan.
Then he rinsed his mouth with the best pearls under the sea, and looking at his posture, he was bound to stage an eighteen-mile apricot altar debate with the old master.
This extravagant scene was seen by Chen Danqing, and his heart was dripping blood. But because of the prince's noble status, how dare he show a little painful look.
was serious, only to hear Li Tianxia speak: "The junior first question, ask the senior, can you know that the century-old martial arts cultivation in the rivers and lakes is the most invincible?"
As the host, although Chen Danqing is not from the rivers and lakes, he has also heard the name of Murong Xuanxu, the demon tower of Beiyan Town, and thinks that His Royal Highness the Prince's first question is really equivalent to asking in vain!
The old phase master looked calm: "The old man of Beiyan." ”
Li Tianxia continued to laugh and said: "The second question is the first person to talk about Zen in the Southern Dynasty of my Li clan. ”
The old master looked at Su Hanshan with introverted eyes, and took the tea handed by the disciple beside him: "Far away in the sky, close in front of you." ”
Li Tianxia continued: "Oh?
The old master handed the tea back: "It is indeed the prince, not the prince." ”
When Huang Shang'er heard this, she found that her eyes were rolling like a new continent, staring happily at Su Hanshan...... Another advantage of digging out the future husband, good eloquence!
In this regard, Su Hanshan moved his body very unnaturally and squeezed to Li Tianxia's side.
The crown prince glared at Su Hanshan with kindness, and then continued to ask: "Third question, which is the highest pavilion in the rivers and lakes?"
"Lingyun Pavilion. ”
"What about the deepest mountain?"
"Shifang Mountain. ”
Li Tianxia smiled weirdly: "How many years do you guess this prince can live in this life?"
The first four questions are just a small test.
This fifth question is the beginning. Thinking that Rao is old guy is well-informed, he can't guess how old this prince can live.
stared at the old physiognomy with a look of watching a play, and Li Tianxia was extremely satisfied with his own intelligence.
Who would have thought of asking this, the old master blurted out without thinking: "Seventy-nine." ”
The two looked at each other, and the old master laughed sarcastically in his heart: As long as you don't die now, how old will you live?
Li Tianxia was about to debate, but only to realize it later, and found that there was no way to argue.
Suddenly the words ended.
On the side, Su Hanshan couldn't bear to look at the loss of the prince who was worried about his safety, and hugged his fists: "Next, can Su Hanshan ask on his behalf?"
