Chapter Eighty-Eight: Spring and Autumn in the Carriage
Many young children who have just entered the Heavenly Capital are all in awe after seeing the long-admired Daomen Holy Mountain. Standing at the foot of Tianfu Mountain, fantasizing that you can enter the two halls to practice by passing the entrance test, it is inevitable that you will be fascinated.
As an annual event of the Daomen, the imperial court will naturally not be absent. Catching up with today's not a great dynasty, Emperor Jingyou, who is rare for half a day, led the Taishi, the head of the civil and military officials, to climb the mountain early when the morning mist was shrouded, and now he is resting on the Fusang tree dot star platform with lush foliage.
As for those court officials, princes and ministers, more than half of them also changed their regular clothes, or accompanied the juniors of the clan who were admitted to the examination, or led their mother-in-law to have a lively time, or they had no choice but to follow the holy will of His Majesty...... Before the official start of the exam, these people, like ordinary candidates, were all crowded at the foot of the mountain.
Fortunately, many disciples and disciples of the two sects of Daomen and the deacons have their own division of labor, and together with the Yunlu general Gu Changting, two hundred armor soldiers were dispatched from the Zhongshan Divine Sword Battalion to maintain order, so that the extraordinary bustle at the foot of the holy mountain will not be chaotic......
Su Hanshan and a few people came late.
When it appears on the mountain road, it inevitably attracts many eyes from the neat and orderly crowds on both sides of the mountain and the carriages.
As the saying goes, the eyes are the windows of the soul, and through those heart windows, Li Tianxia, the crown prince of the Southern Dynasty, saw many words of praise. Handsome and chic, personable, stunning, stunning, shy flowers and so on, and so on, the words that modify their group of five people instantly turned into countless admiration and admiration to bless their bodies.
The shrouded aura dispelled the coolness of the spring cold, leaving the unpleasantness of Fang Cai behind, Li Tianxia closed his eyes and enjoyed the warm feeling in this fantasy, and felt very comfortable.
Very pleasant.
Su Hanshan, who had long been accustomed to paying attention, naturally didn't pay attention to these eyes and the discussions behind him, he turned his head to look at Li Tianxia in white clothes, and said helplessly: "Are you really ready?"
It seems to have invisibly sensed that many eggs and vegetable leaves were secretly aimed at him, and Li Tianxia, who was quite conscious, stopped in moderation, restrained the look of the impulse to kick a few feet if anyone looked at it, and said leisurely: "It's nothing more than looking at the pictures, writing, and drawings, and rudeness is nothing more than a blade against a sword." The level of this kind of Dao Sect assessment is not difficult in front of the three-year-old prince who can write and martial arts at the age of seven. ”
Su Hanshan said: "The content of each Daomen entrance examination is different, but there is one point, the way to judge whether to pass or fail based on the strength of martial arts cultivation has never appeared. Although you have the cultivation of a little grandmaster, you are a layman to Daomen Fu Xiu, so it is always right to be cautious. ”
Li Tianxia suddenly thought: "Why don't you say hello to the dean of the Third Academy of the Mending Heaven Sect?" His Royal Highness the Ninth Emperor is also the future seal holder of the Mending Heaven Sect, but if he speaks, it will not be easy for this prince to enter the Qinglian Palace?"
Su Hanshan looked at the latter in surprise, and saw that Li Tianxia had never looked upright, so he said helplessly: "You didn't say anything to me." ”
While talking, a lame boy got out of the carriage and walked straight towards the five of them.
Su Nuannuan was the first to see it and called out to her brother.
Su Hanshan raised his eyes and looked.
When I first saw the appearance of the child, I felt a sense of déjà vu, so I thought about it. Su Hanshan remembered the old master of the rivers and lakes he had met when he returned north to Luofu Mountain Wenshu Monastery.
This Dao Tong was the disciple who served beside the Xiang Master, and he couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart.
"I've seen Your Highness." ”
Su Hanshan returned the salute: "Brother Dao is polite. ”
He said, "The family teacher wants to ask His Highness to talk about it." ”
Su Hanshan looked up and saw that the curtain of the carriage was raised, and the old master was looking towards this side. Since Luofu Mountain's farewell, Su Hanshan, who had a lot of questions in his heart, paused: "Brother Dao, please first." ”
......
Su Nuannuan called: "Brother." ”
Li Tianxia said: "It's okay, don't worry about him." ”
Chu Nanzhao was puzzled: "You know?"
Li Tianxia nodded.
Su Nuannuan also nodded.
Huang Shang'er was stunned for a moment, her face dazed. The messy information in her mind began to flash quickly, like a spring breeze flipping through a book, making her think of the experience of Luofu Mountain in a trance. was about to speak, when he suddenly looked at Su Nuannuan in surprise: "Nuan Nuan also knows?"
Su Nuannuan said as a matter of course: "It's Uncle Xiao." ”
......
In the carriage, Su Hanshan sat opposite to Qin Tianjian Old Priest Jiu Nanhuaizi, and his introverted eyes couldn't help but look at the old man Cangrong, and he was silent for a long time.
He didn't take the lead in speaking, not out of tacit understanding to compete with the other party. He thought that since the old gentleman took the initiative to invite, he should have been ready to confess everything. Then there are many doubts in my heart, whether to say it or not, it is no different.
He'll get all the answers anyway.
Old Mr. Nanhuai, who was dressed in a robe with a star pattern, stroked his beard, he understood Su Hanshan's vigilant psychology.
This kind of caution is the most normal way to face an opponent who sees through himself and doesn't even know his name.
The silence in the carriage lasted for a while, and he personally taught the old sacrificial wine of the Su Tang Taishi and began to perform the monarch's courtesy: "Qintian Priest Jiu Nan Huaizi, I have seen His Royal Highness the Nine. ”
The simple words floated in his ears, and Su Hanshan was surprised.
The hundred-year-old man in front of him turned out to be the mentor of Master Taishi? It's a little incredible......
The old sacrificial wine smiled: "When I first saw Luofu Mountain, the old minister concealed his identity, and I hope His Highness will forgive his sins." ”
Su Hanshan came back to his senses and picked up the other party: "Lord Sacrificial Wine is serious." Luofu Bawen still remembers it vividly, and it has benefited Hanshan a lot. ”
Nan Huaizi sat upright again: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, the minister took the liberty to ask His Highness to move today, just for the eighth question." ”
Su Hanshan said casually: "How many years have you been in the Spring and Autumn Period?"
The old sacrificial wine nodded: "This answer is still in the picture box given to His Highness." ”
Su Hanshan said: "But the painting box can't be opened. ”
"There is only one way to open the painting box, and it is the only way. ”
Su Hanshan was quite curious: "I would like to hear about it." ”
The old sacrificial wine seemed to be nostalgic and said: "That box came from the hand of a certain Taishi Ling of the Qin Dynasty three hundred years ago, and what was hidden in it was a proverb about the life of the Spring and Autumn Period of the Warring States Period. The first half of the Warring States period has been 300 years old, and now it has been verified. ”
Su Hanshan looked at the old sacrificial wine in disbelief.
It is undeniable that it is the first time in 16 years that I have heard this amazing statement. Even on the rivers and lakes, this kind of saying has never been circulated, and the existence of the painting box.
It's like you're wandering the streets and suddenly a person appears telling you that your life is going to end, and then breaks your neck with your own hands. Unless this Qin Tianjian old sacrificial wine has the ability to destroy the Spring and Autumn Period with a gesture, and then raises the words that the Warring States Period is three hundred years old, and the Spring and Autumn Jiazi Year is unconvincing.
Su Hanshan is not an idiot who can be deceived in just a few words, so naturally he will not listen to people's words, saying that one is two.
The old priest Nan Huaizi is familiar with the stars and gossip, and is the messenger of the Sutang Empire who is responsible for conveying the will of the Heavenly Dao. He knew very well what what Fang Cai said meant to Chunqiu, and it was ridiculous to try to convince people with just a few words.
The old sacrificial wine continued: "That Taishi Ling is the ancestor master. ”
Su Hanshan was slightly startled, but still did not speak.
The old sacrificial wine said: "The minister said this, not to make His Highness convinced. Because whoever hears this remark will find it ridiculous, and Chen is no exception. The only way to prove this is to find the key to open the case. ”
Su Hanshan remembered the shape of the groove on the surface of the painting box, and asked, "Dare to ask sir, the key is a picture?"
The old sacrificial wine Nan Huaizi nodded and said: "According to the ancestor master, it is a picture of the rivers and mountains from the hands of the King of Qin. As long as His Highness finds that picture, he will know the life span of Spring and Autumn. ”
