Chapter 42: Sorrow, Sorrow!
Watching the mountains and waters, watching the willows and dark flowers, watching the birds, fish and insects.
Han Fengge and the four of them traveled all the way to read the spring colors, stopping and talking, laughing and laughing. Of course, along the way, Han Fengge did not abandon his cultivation, in the spring, the aura of the thunder spirit became heavier, and his cultivation also rose with the warmer and warmer weather, and there were faint signs of breaking through the foundation building in a few days.
On this day, everyone was led by Han Fengge to a stretch of mountains.
Due to a drizzling spring rain last night, today's mountain road is exceptionally muddy and rugged, and it is very difficult to walk.
The youngest, Ming Ruo Sangsang, pestered Han Fengge and walked on the mountain road with her on his back. Although he didn't have to walk in person, Mingruo Sangsang still shook his calves in the face of such a difficult mountain road and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, I said little brother of the bandit, why do you have to take this road? In the morning, I asked for the road in the small village below the mountain, and people said that it was much easier to walk on the official road than this path, and it was much closer. β
Han Fengge and the others walked extremely fast on the mountain road, and they could have been led by Yunfei and Qin Qing to the sky, but because of Han Fengge's insistence, they chose to walk uphill. Since Han Fengge embarked on the path of cultivation, absorbing spiritual energy and refining the muscles and bones meridians, he at this time was far from being comparable to when he first entered Kunyu Mountain. It's just that this ability to fly in the sky can only be learned after crossing the foundation building realm and passing the Longmen realm. Dragon Gate Dragon Gate, only after the fish leaping dragon gate can it be truly distinguished from mortals, and the fish leaping dragon gate will turn into a dragon.
Han Fengge raised his head and said to Ming Ruosang on his back: "Then over the mountain in front of you, there is a very good-looking, extremely extensive begonia forest, and there is a very interesting academy hidden in the depths of the begonia forest, I will go there to meet an old man and give her a word." β
Fortunately, although the mountains in this area seem to stretch very widely, most of them are low hills, and it will not take long for the four of them to stand on the edge of a begonia forest that is planted all over the mountain as far as the eye can see.
It was mid-spring, and it was another storm last night, and now it was the end of the begonia flowering period, and the ground was full of red petals, which made Han Fengge think of the last time he stood at the edge of this begonia forest. At that time, the two brothers who were in the midst of a famine came to this deeply hidden and famous Shenquan Academy by mistake to eat and drink, and when they were idle, their eldest brother was cheeky to tell the students in the academy some crooked theories that were misguided but very popular with the students. However, after a while, he was beaten all the way from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain with a whip by the fairy sister who was most likely the most learned female gentleman in the world and the only female mountain chief in the world, and drove him out of the begonia forest. Two people, one big and one small, looked at the begonias all over the mountain with a lonely expression, and their hearts were full of remorse. The academy is really good, the mountains and rivers are good, and the people are good, but what makes them unforgettable and reluctant is the canteen deep in the forest. This farewell, the two brothers are going back to the hard days of having the last meal and not the next.
"Brother, can't you accommodate Sister Qingzhao? She is also the head of the academy, you are so angry with her, where can we go now to find a place where we are willing to eat and live without having to work?" Han Fengge raised his head and complained about the young man who deliberately found fault and caused the two of them to be kicked out of the academy.
The young man, who was thin and thin, but carried a large box of books on his back and refused to lose, sell, or exchange them for food, smiled bitterly and slapped Han Fengge on the head gently: "Child, you know what a fart! Let's go, let's go, and we'll come back to find a field when we're developed in the future. β
Han Fengge stood on the edge of the forest and silently looked at the figure that gradually faded away in his memory, and gently hummed a poem written by the talented female mountain chief for no reason: "Last night, the rain was sparse and the wind was sudden, and the heavy sleep did not kill the wine. Try the questionnaire curtain people, but the begonias are still the same, do you know whether you know it or not, it should be green, fat, red and thin. β
Just as Han Fengge was humming and the little girl was fascinated by it, a cow's cry interrupted them.
An extremely large ox walks slowly through the paths intertwined through the forest. As I walked, I stretched out my head from time to time to chew on the begonia flowers that were so fashionable and hung on the branches.
An eleven or twelve-year-old boy leaned on the broad back of the scalper, put his head on his hands, lifted Erlang's leg with one foot, covered his face with a book, and his body swayed with the movement of the scalper.
The young man took the book away on his face, looked at the sky that seemed to be soaked in blue water in spring with a sad face, and said: "Flowers float and water flows freely, a kind of lovesickness, two places of leisure." One lovesickness, two sorrowsγγγγγγ Alas~ What is lovesickness and sorrow? Mr.'s recent words have become more and more confusing. Huh?"
The young man on the back of the cow who didn't know lovesickness and sorrow, just glanced at her lightly, only glanced at her in the crowd, and never forgot the red dress on the edge of the begonia forest in this twelve-year-old spring. It wasn't until many years later that he could no longer find that red dress in the world, and the down-and-out scholar who returned to the academy and changed his name to "Mr. Zhichou" would chant this poem every time he was drunk, but if he knew the taste of sorrow, why bother to look at it?
Just as he sat up straight and looked at Ming Ruo Sangsang who was wearing a red dress, smiling and smiling, Han Fengge stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Doudou, do you remember me?"
The young man then took the book and jumped off the back of the cow, looked at the sixteen-year-old boy in front of him, and stared at it for a while before finding the name that could match the number in his mind: "Oh! Brother Han! You are Brother Han!"
Immediately after that, he looked carefully at Yun Fei behind Han Fengge, and made sure that it was not the other person in his memory, so he asked again, "What about Mr. Ji, isn't he with you?"
Han Fengge shook his head and said, "Big brother has very important things to do, and he can't leave if he stays in Jingshi for the time being, so this time only I came to visit Sister Qingzhao." β
The young man who was called Doudou by Han Fengge grabbed Han Fengge's hand and said, "Let's go, come with me to persuade Mr., it is estimated that she has not sobered up yet." As he spoke, he slapped the scalper on the ass and let it wander around the begonia forest by itself. Then he secretly glanced at the petite figure dressed in red, and pulled Han Fengge towards the mountain.
Although Yunfei and the others didn't know what Han Fengge's old relationship was here, they saw that the begonias all over the field were very cute, so they followed them towards the depths of the mountains and forests.
In the begonia forest halfway up the mountainside, there are houses one after another. The sound of chirping, birdsong and reading aloud is intertwined, which makes people feel calm.
The academy gets its name from an ancient spring hidden in the mountains, and the spring water meanders in the mountain forest. The academy occupies a small area, and there is no magnificent building, but the elegant and quiet of the academy and the admirable names that have walked out of this academy make the word "deep spring" very famous in the Confucian forest of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Yun Fei and the others were led by the disciples of the academy to tour the beautiful scenery in the mountains, while Han Fengge was dragged by the young man named Doudou to the small courtyard in the deepest part of the academy.
Han Fengge and Doudou walked across a small wooden bridge and came to the door of the small courtyard built on the edge of the ancient spring.
A graceful figure was resting on the stone table in the courtyard with his back to the courtyard gate, and there was a delicate jade wine jug on the table.
As soon as Han Fengge and the two entered the door, the young man Doudou rushed over, shouting as he ran: "Sir, sir, wake up, look who is coming." β
The beautiful figure was disturbed by the young man's dream, woke up slowly, straightened the hair that was stained at the corners of his mouth, sat up straight, stretched his waist, and then turned around to reveal a delicate face that was not beautiful, but had a pure breath that is rare for women in the world.
This talented gentleman, who embarrassed the men of the world, turned to glare at the young student who woke her up, and said angrily: "You kid, you know all day long what is bothering me when you are startled? Is it that the master is going to call me over to lecture again?"
The young man Doudou hurriedly said: "No, the ancestor said, I don't have the time to grind my teeth with Mr. today." It's Brother Han who is back, look at it!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the gate of the courtyard, for fear that his husband hadn't woken up yet.
The female mountain chief with an extraordinary temperament straightened her scattered hair, and looked at the gate of the courtyard along her disciple's hand in a hazy sleep.
When she took some difficulty to see Han Fengge, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, who had grown a lot taller but could still vaguely see his past appearance, his eyes were moist. Immediately after that, her eyes skipped over to Han Fengge to find the figure that often made her angry and made her miss for several years, but she was full of hope, but in exchange for disappointment.
Han Fengge walked quickly towards the woman in the courtyard and smiled happily: "Sister Qingzhao, do you remember me?"
Although she was full of disappointment just now, she immediately hid it again, smiled and touched the top of the head of the young man who was already taller than her, and said, "How could my sister forget that you stinky boy who likes to steal food in the middle of the night." Oh, I haven't seen it in a few years. β
As soon as the woman's words fell, she suddenly reached out and grabbed Han Fengge's neck, picked him up and jokingly said, "Although I have grown a lot taller and have some skills, I can still afford it." Tell me, how long are you going to stay when you come back this time? What about that annoying guy? Why don't you see him coming?"
Although Han Fengge was used to being carried like a kitten by her before, it was a little embarrassing to be carried by her like this now. At the moment, I couldn't break free, so I had to be cheeky and said: "Sister, let me down first, I've grown up, and then I will be carried by you like this, and people will laugh to death when they see it." β
When the woman saw him arguing with herself, she made a move to throw him out of the door, so frightened that Han Fengge begged for mercy again and again: "Sister, don't throw it, I said it's not okay." β
After the woman put him down, Han Fengge took a breath and said, "This time I am the only one who comes, the eldest brother has something very important to do in Jingshi, and he can't get out." On my way here, I received a letter from him saying that I must come to the college to visit his sister on his behalf. β
The woman named Qingzhao listened to him, and her eyes were full of loss: "That guy is so busy, or does he not want to see me at all?" Is it because I am too fierce?"
Since Han Fengge had the girl from the East China Sea in his heart, he also felt a little bit about the love between men and women and the pain of lovesickness. Seeing her so sad, he opened his mouth and said with relief: "Big brother does have very important things, and he can't leave for a while, don't say that he came to the academy to visit his sister, but I'm afraid it's not easy for him to sleep peacefully now." β
Han Fengge saw that her face softened a little and continued: "Actually, the eldest brother has a sister in his heart, but the eldest brother said that he is difficult to eliminate the grace of beauty. β
Qing Zhaoqiao's face flushed, and she raised her hand and slapped him lightly on the head: "At a young age, you can also learn some ghost deception words from that guy, you know how difficult it is to eliminate the beauty grace of a fart." β
Han Fengge was told by her without refuting this, so she could only smile awkwardly.
Qingzhao then turned around and asked him, "Stinky boy, how long are you going to stay when you come back this time?" β
Han Fengge said embarrassedly: "I apprenticed to the Luoyun Peak of Kunyu Mountain last year, and this time I still have the master's life on the mountain, and I won't stay long." β
At this time, a faint voice came from outside the courtyard gate: "What? Is it better to study than to practice? When I asked you to enter my door, you refused to do anything, so you had to go to Kunyu Mountain to learn the Tao of Nalaoshzi." You go back and ask Gu Qingping, where is my well moon not as good as him?"
With the voice walking in, a thin but very tall middle-aged scholar stood behind Han Fengge.
Han Fengge heard this voice and hurriedly turned around and said, "Han Fengge greets Mr. Jing." β
The middle-aged scholar Jing Zhongyue is Qingzhao's master, the previous mountain master of Shenquan Academy. Everyone knows that he has great knowledge and ability, but they don't know that he was in the prime of life, but he suddenly stepped down and passed the academy to his female disciples.
Jing Zhongyue looked at the young man who had once taken a fancy to him and wanted to be accepted as a closed disciple and said, "Well, fortunately, although I learned those so-called immortal Taoisms, I didn't forget to study." Whether it's serious learning or miscellaneous novels, it's beneficial to open the book, as long as you can read it carefully, it's good. β
Han Fengge said respectfully: "What Mr. Jing said, Fengge has never forgotten in his heart. β
Jing Zhongyue looked at Han Fengge, who was full of aura, and sighed: "The people of the world still look down on the scholars, if it weren't for the hard work of the readers, what would the world be like in this mess? Why? Didn't he come back with him?"
Han Fengge had a big head for a while, so he had to re-tell Mr. Jing what he had said to Doudou and Qingzhao before.
Jing Zhongyue said indifferently after hearing this: "It's okay if you don't come back, you can also read in that small room in the capital, not to mention that the reader originally studied to govern the country and secure the country, and it is much better in the capital than hiding in this courtyard." β
Shenquan Academy is not big, and there are not many students, but the scenery in the begonia forest on this mountain is very good. The begonias on the mountain are very luxuriant, and now it is also after the Qingming Festival, the flowering period will pass, and every time the mountain wind blows, there are pieces of petals falling with the wind, such as snow in winter.
Han Fengge and Doudou led Yunfei and the others to all the scenic spots on the mountain to enjoy the flowers, and in the evening, they ate the braised fish that Han Fengge never forgot in the canteen of the academy. That night, they stayed in a small courtyard by the spring, and the next day they set off down the mountain to continue their journey.
Qingzhao just told Han Fengge to take good care of herself and come to see her again when she had time, but she didn't go down the mountain to see her off.
The one who sent Han Fengge and the others to the edge of the begonia forest at the foot of the mountain was still a young man riding a bull, Doudou.
Although the young man named Doudou talked more about his childhood with Han Fengge along the way, he secretly squinted and peeked at Mingruo Sangsang in a red dress from time to time.
Han Fengge and his entourage of four left, and the young man leaned on the cow and looked at the red figure that could no longer be seen, but he never remembered that Mr. Shizu Jing had given him a divination, and Jing Zhongyue only said one sentence when he explained the hexagram for him: "When I see the red costume, I will mistake it for life." β
