Chapter 16 Discussion with the Old Thief
When Dong Ping came to the examination room with his hands copied, Lu Liangmeng had just announced the results of the exam. Dong Ping's eyes swept away, raised his head and said, "I am the first." ”
"Dong Ping, come with me. After Lu Liangmeng finished speaking, he walked out with his hands behind his back.
"Alas, the first. Dong Ping sighed strangely, and walked out with Lu Liangmeng.
The buildings of Luyue Academy are neatly arranged, and Dong Ping and Lu Liangmeng walked all the way without turning a corner. When he reached a small courtyard, Lu Liangmeng stopped. The courtyards of this house are very ordinary, like this kind of courtyard, there are not a hundred places in Luyue Academy, but there are also fifty or sixty places.
Lu Liangmeng said: "Go, the dean wants to see you." ”
Dean of Luyue Academy!
Dong Ping was pleasantly surprised in his heart, he had only heard such a character in other people's mouths. Dong Ping rubbed his hands, smoothed out the folds on his clothes one by one, and then straightened his waist and walked towards the courtyard.
When Dong Ping was three feet away from the door, he stopped.
A vague breath blocked him.
"Aura?" Dong Ping muttered to himself.
Aura is a very wonderful thing, everyone has it, but it is especially obvious in those who are in high positions and martial arts masters. Suddenly, Dong Ping's favor towards this dean decreased a lot, which was obviously giving him a disgrace.
"The dean is well, and the student Dong Ping is here. With that, Dong Ping bent down towards the door.
"Come in. ”
As soon as the indifferent voice came out of the room, the aura that was blocking Dong Ping's body dispersed by itself.
"Yes. Dong Ping stepped forward and pushed the door open.
As soon as the door opened, the calligraphy hanging all over the room flew into the air. In a moment of frenzy, a figure loomed behind the calligraphy.
"Dean. Dong Ping said.
"This "Polemic: Slaughtering Immortals" is from you?"
"Exactly. ”
"In this article, you explain how to guard against and kill the best martial arts masters in the confrontation between the two armies. But do you know that it has become a common rule on the rivers and lakes that the top masters of martial arts are not allowed to participate in the war without permission. The dean said lightly.
"Then can the dean know that the Song Dynasty was defeated in the battle of Song and Liao three years ago because the Liao State sent a peerless master?"
The dean behind the notebook was silent for a moment and said, "Although the battle was huge, it almost decided the fate of the Song and Liao countries. But after the war, both countries secretly sealed the news of this battle, and I only heard about it slightly, and no one knew whether there were peerless masters participating in the war. ”
The moment the dean finished speaking, Dong Ping's eyes seemed to erupt with monstrous anger. But after a while, he calmed down and smiled: "But the dean can't deny that there were peerless masters involved in that battle. Just imagine, if one side of Song Liao fights again in the future and sends a martial arts master who can turn the tide of the battle, how will the other side respond?"
"It is not advisable to go head-to-head, and the host will attack it with a crossbow. In your article, you write in great detail. There was a hint of appreciation in the dean's tone.
Dong Ping continued: "Yes, those top martial arts masters have the ability to be a thousand and ten thousand. If they are allowed to rush into the army, the only way to stop them is to use bows and arrows to block them. ”
"What if the enemy army has several masters?" the dean asked rhetorically.
Dong Ping said with a smile: "The dean also said just now, it is a customary rule that the top martial arts masters are not allowed to participate in the war. Liao Guo just used a peerless martial arts master, so he threw a mouse trap and blocked the news. In this way, no matter which side uses so many masters, it will become a common enemy of the rivers and lakes. Dong Ping said, and the dean, who had been staying in the room full of notes and did not show up, smiled with satisfaction and said: "What you said is good, so I personally rated this article for you first." This year, we have a lot of outstanding students. ”
When Dong Ping heard this, he said seriously: "Thank you, Dean." ”
"No thanks, there are a few of these articles that are excellent, but none of them are as new as yours. You go first, I hope that after the martial arts test the day after tomorrow, I can give you the top spot. Although he didn't see anyone, the dean's tone was genuine. Dong Ping said: "I will live up to the expectations of the dean." ”
By the time Dong Ping returned to the examination room, there seemed to be a lot fewer people inside. The more than 20 people were also divided into two factions, the Liao Youth faction and the Xiao Shanming faction. Dong Ping was quite interested in this Xiao Shanming, he was curious, how could a person who was beaten every day still seem so energetic.
After passing the literary examination of the Martial Arts Academy, he can already be regarded as a student of Luyue Academy. As for the martial arts test, it's just a ranking. Students who pass the examination can spend one night in the library of Luyue Academy. The library building of Luyue Academy can be called a unique collection of books, and even the Wanshu Hall of the Nanxue Palace in the south of the province has to bow down. The library building is located at the rear of Luyue Academy, and is divided into seven floors according to whether the collection is precious or not. On the roof of the library building, there are hundreds of ranking books that affect the general trend of the rivers and lakes.
"In the past few days, the students have been on vacation for the exams in the college. The library building is also clean, and the books on the first floor of the library building are for you to read tonight. But remember, be quiet. Don't disturb the retreat of the seniors of the Wind Pavilion. Lu Liangmeng led everyone to the library and said.
Those Liao people didn't seem to have heard Lu Liangmeng's words, they had been shocked by this magnificent library. The Liao people have been nomadic for generations, and although they have settled in recent decades, when have they ever seen such an exquisite and perfect building?
The person who guarded the door of the library was an old Confucian student in his sixties and seventies, and when the old Confucian saw Lu Liangmeng coming, he hurriedly greeted him and saluted: "Superintendent Lu." ”
Lu Liangmeng replied: "Teacher Song is polite, these students will be handed over to you tonight, you should be more responsible, don't go wrong." ”
"Superintendent Lu rest assured, this is natural. Teacher Song said and smiled at everyone: "Gentlemen, please come in, the library building." ”
The first floor of the library building is extremely vast, and the bookshelves are several feet high, and the collection of books on this first floor alone can be described as vast.
Dong Ping didn't look dazzled, he went straight to the area where the martial arts method was stored, and pulled out a book called "General Guide to Martial Arts" at the bottom of a bookshelf. This martial arts scripture is a book of martial arts basic mental methods that has been widely circulated in the rivers and lakes, and seven of the ten martial arts practitioners are used to lay the foundation with this mental method. Dong Ping glanced at it casually, and then said to himself: "The collection of books in Luyue Academy is really authentic, and this "General Strategy" should be the original. It is only two pages, and the method recorded in it is more than a dozen places different from the "General Strategy" circulated in the rivers and lakes. ”
Dong Ping closed the book, found a small single room specially built for quiet reading, and sat down. Although Dong Ping has an understanding of martial arts, he really has never cultivated. This look at it made sense.
I don't know how long I watched it, Dong Ping suddenly heard someone behind him talking: "The mulberry field is fixed, and the sea is gone." Qi comes out of the palace, and the six veins run through. Good apprentice, I didn't expect you to still read such a broken book. Hey. Dong Ping looked back and saw that it was the old thief Li Ren who was drunk, and he saw him holding a wine jug in his hand, sitting in the air with nowhere to borrow.
"Master, when are you here?" Dong Ping asked in surprise.
"Hehe, I was here an hour ago, but the good apprentice was fascinated and didn't notice it. The old thief grinned and frowned: "This Luyue Academy is really a little family, with countless books, but I only let you see this broken thing, wait, Grandpa will bring you the top collection of books in the building!" As he spoke, the old thief turned over and fled.
Dong Ping smiled helplessly, this old thief acted unrestrained, I just hope he doesn't break out of any baskets.
Dozens of acres of bamboo are planted behind the library building, and a slightly lonely attic stands quietly in the bamboo forest. At this time, the bamboo forest is also covered with a thin layer of snow. Its scenery is elegant, and it is called a fairyland outside the world.
In the attic, a faint incense burns.
The boy with red lips and white teeth is playing with the sycamore qin in front of him, the sound of silk and bamboo is melodious, and a song of mountains and rivers is slowly rippling.
Suddenly, the man lying on his side in front of the child opened his eyes and yawned softly.
"Master, Xiaodouzi has woken you up. The boy cramped.
The man smiled faintly: "Xiaodouzi continue to play, it's the rats in the library building, and I've woken up as a teacher." ”
"Yes. ”
......
"Good apprentice grandson, grandpa is here!"
By the time the old thief entered the cubicle again, his arms were already full of books.
Seeing him throw the handful of books in front of him, Dong Ping smiled and said: "Master Lao bothered, but my realm is shallow, so it's better not to read these books first." ”
The old god stole down in front of Dong Ping, and after taking a sip of spirits, he smashed his mouth and said, "Hehe, it doesn't matter what books you read, the main thing is to look at your mood." If the state of mind is high, the realm of martial arts will naturally be able to rise up. ”
"Oh, please explain in detail. ”
The old god thief grinned and said: "Martial arts cultivation, the Tongmai realm is the foundation, there is a refining state of mind on it, and refining the state of mind is a heavenly moat, I don't know how many people who practice martial arts are planted on this hurdle." Even the more than a few Tianjiao on the master list have never crossed it in their lives. ”
Dong Ping had some understanding of the martial arts realm, and he was slightly stunned: "Master list? I thought that the master list was all martial arts masters above the realm of refining the mind." ”
As soon as Dong Ping's words fell, the old thief laughed wildly as if he had heard the funniest joke, and the wine that had just entered his throat also spurted out.
"Eh, good apprentice grandson, the realm of martial arts has ascended to the sky one by one, and no realm has its own ranking book. Refining the state of mind, hehe, can barely be regarded as a master. "The old god stole it.
Dong Ping's eyes lit up, and he then asked, "What kind of realm is it above the realm of refining the mind?"
The old god thief said proudly: "Above the refining state of mind, it is the twelve-layer Heaven Stealing Realm, if you can reach the peak of the Heaven Stealing Realm, then you can be regarded as a peerless master." ”
"What kind of realm is it above the Heaven Stealing Realm?"
"Hey, hey. The old god snickered twice, but was speechless.
Dong Ping knew that this old thief was selling Guanzi, so he grinned and shouted, Master Grandpa.
The old thief rejoiced, stretched out his hand and said, "Knife here!"
When he landed, a black blade flew out of Dong Ping's waist and landed steadily in the hands of the old thief. "Good apprentice, you can watch it!" As soon as the words fell, the old thief's figure was startled, and in this square inch, he used his sword technique.
Dong Ping was dazzled, this old thief didn't know what kind of knife technique he used, and he played tiger and tiger in this small compartment, and his moves were like antelope hanging horns, and he couldn't find a trace. There are thousands of variations in style, and they are unpredictable.
The knife rises, the knife falls.
Dong Ping clapped his hands and said, "Okay!"
Suddenly, I heard Teacher Song's voice outside: "Silence." ”
Dong Ping knew that he had lost his voice, and calmed down and said, "What kind of knife technique is this?"
This is not a sword technique, but a meaning! This is also the unique meaning of the Creation Realm warrior above the Heaven Stealing Realm, when it reaches that realm, the warrior's moves are not limited to moves, but the moves are all the intention of the samurai! The Creation Realm warrior is not a master, but a real land immortal!" The old thief's eyes were full of essence, but there was a sense of pride in his indifferent tone.
Dong Ping only knew that the old thief had been famous for a long time, but he didn't expect his attainments to have reached such a level.
Suddenly, Dong Ping smiled and said: "Mo Fei's iron catch is also a land immortal, otherwise how can he turn the group of ancestors around." ”
"That's just the old thief who is really boring, deliberately teasing him. The old god took a sip of wine.
Dong Ping raised his eyebrows, he suddenly thought of the old thief when he was young, and asked: "Back then, the ancestor was also romantic, and he actually stole Concubine Shuyun from the palace. ”
The old god eavesdropped, and a mouthful of liquor squirted out, and he muttered: "Hey, the old thief became famous at a young age, and he often bet with his friends in the rivers and lakes. That day, the old thief actually made a bet with an old friend to steal the emperor's crown, and the old thief had already succeeded. But when I was young at that time, I saw the prosperity of the palace, and I inevitably wanted to go around. At this turn, the old thief turned to Concubine Shuyun's residence. At that time, as soon as the old thief entered, he saw that Concubine Shuyun was not sleeping. The two of us stared at each other for a long time, but Concubine Shuyun suddenly opened her mouth and said I love you!"
As soon as the last three words were finished, the old thief rolled on the ground with joy, laughing and saying in his mouth: "She said she loved me......"
Dong Ping didn't laugh, he felt that Concubine Shuyun's reaction was also normal. Although the old thief is unkempt, his facial features are upright, and it is not difficult to look that he was also a handsome man when he was young.
The woman, who lived deep in the palace compound and might not have seen the emperor for several years, naturally reacted enthusiastically when she saw a handsome man suddenly appear.
"So, she pestered you to get her out of the palace. Dong Ping said.
The old thief slowly calmed down, and said with a wry smile: "At that time, I considered myself a prodigal son of the rivers and lakes, and I could always carry a drag around me. After stealing her out of the palace, I regretted the old thief. ”
Dong Ping frowned slightly and said, "So, you killed her?"
"Phew!Phew!" The old thief hurriedly shook his head and said, "At that time, the old thief wanted to find a good place for her, but Shen Feiyang of the Yellow River Cao Gang was to my liking. But at that time, whoever dared to marry a concubine in the palace was afraid of getting into trouble. So the old thief stole his family's big ship and threatened him to marry Concubine Shuyun. ”
As soon as these words came out, Dong Ping said that it was impossible not to be surprised, but he didn't expect that there was such a secret behind the two most widely circulated deeds on the old thief.
"It turns out that the old lady Shen of the Cao Gang is the concubine Shuyun back then. Dong Ping said with emotion.
"It's been a lifetime of wandering. ”
The old thief sighed and said, "If the old thief really wanted her back then, maybe the old thief is teasing his grandson at home now." Hehe, but now that the old thief has a good apprentice, it's not lonely. ”
Dong Ping smiled and said, "It's time to drink!"
"Okay, good apprentice, it's time to drink, but forget it today. Grandpa, I still have something to do. After the old god finished speaking, he took out a book from the pile of books and said, "Since the disciple is a sword, let's practice this one." Throw away the broken "General Strategy", how can Hong Yan be with the sparrows?"
Dong Ping picked up the book, stroked the light blue book cover, and said, "Supreme, domineering." ”
