Volume 1 Chaowailang Chapter 4 The Courtyard Conscience Can Be Peaceful
Tang Li is still thinking hard about who attacked the crown prince, who can be so obscure and has no way to return to the sky? There is a hint of curses, according to his own understanding, curses, witchcraft and other things have never appeared on Chu Guoming's face, which organization has mastered this thing? Tang Li rubbed his eyebrows, shook his head, and cleared his thoughts, not wanting to pay too much attention to it.
After all, the prince, he is really unwilling to cooperate now, he can't afford to provoke someone who is too dangerous, and he knows about the prince today, considering the mastermind behind him, his own figure is not enough.
Pushing open the door and returning to the Sage Village, Tang Li, taking advantage of the night, went to see the master. When drinking, he secretly poured some wine into the wine gourd, and planned to bring it back to the master who also loves wine to taste, after all, if there is no master's acquiescence, he will not be able to get out of this secret realm of his own small world, from the outsider's point of view, this is a quiet and elegant school, but in fact, there is a cave in the sky, and others can not enter this sage village. If he breaks in, the master will throw him out if he is in a good mood, and if the master is in a bad mood, he will seem to have disappeared without a trace, and his life and death are uncertain.
For me today, the height of the master is like mountains and flowing water, and the clouds are deep and I don't know where they come from.
The Master taught in public only five days a month, and at this time only children with the tokens sent by the Master could come in, and the rest of the time the Master used to sit by the well in the east courtyard and drink, and when he got drunk, he sat by the well and muttered, "The general trend is coming... Don Boy... Why don't you go to cook yet?" "In two years, Tang boy, you will have to get married... You're all gone, leaving me with an old bone..." Tang Lizi always stood by the well and said to the master: "Old man, let's talk nonsense, I won't secretly go out to buy wine for you next time!" The master would suddenly jump down from the well every time, and pat Tang Li, squinting his eyes and pacing around the well and shaking his head: "Tang boy is getting more and more uncute, alas, I miss Yin girl a little!"
Although the master was full of wine, every time Tang Li felt that the master was not drunk, and felt like he was looking at the well water and was sad! But even if Tang Li knew that the master was sad, he didn't comfort him much, after all, his heart was broken, so how could he comfort others?
Once, when I saw that my master was so sad when he was drunk, and then I thought back to the tragic end of my time, I couldn't help but take a big sip with a wine jug, but my head was slapped on by my master's big hand, and I almost choked to death with wine! At that time, the master wanted to teach Tang Li's age that he was too young not to drink, but he turned his head to look at Tang Li, who was drunk in one sip, but he was stunned.
Tang Li was half drunk after taking a sip of wine, and when he was done, he looked up at the night sky, and burst into tears, and the sadness in his eyes was like the eyes of the endless sad dragon with plants in its mouth in the endless darkness! The body as tall as a mountain was lying on the ground weakly, its breath was weak, its teeth were shining through, but its eyes were wide open, staring at the Master like that, and it was like looking at everything in the world behind him through the Master, hatred was monstrous and fragile and helpless, so indifferent, so desperate. Many years later, Tang Li's endless conquest went to heaven and earth, leveled the eight wildernesses, and returned to this manor full of exhaustion, and then invited the master to drink, and the master said to Tang Li.
That night was the first time Tang Li's life drank alcohol, and he was so drunk that he couldn't wake up after taking a big sip, but when he woke up the next day, he found that there was a wine gourd given to him by his master, which was dark and a little ugly, but Tang Li's dog had been carrying it all these years, and it had never fallen, and the amount of alcohol was getting better and better, so he had been drinking tonight and had never been half drunk. It's never the pot of wine that is intoxicating, it's the sorrow that makes me drink.
Tang Lixi came to the well in the east courtyard of Zhuangzi, and the master fell asleep on his back by the well, with an empty wine jug lying on the ground at his feet. Tang Li sighed and sat down at the mouth of the well, only to see the master, who had been sleeping soundly before, stretching his waist and getting up. Indeed, this is the Master, when will he not wake up if he wants to wake up?
The master opened his slightly drunken eyes, and Tang Li threw the wine jug and said, "Old man, drink less." ”
The master took the flask and took a sip and said, "Yo, drunken wine and dragon jade wine, Tang boy met the prince tonight, how do you feel?"
Tang Li picked up a stone and sat on the edge of the well, frowned and said to the master: "I am very confused, I feel that Chu has a big net, and now it is gradually preparing to close the net." Then he threw the stone into the well, but there was no sound of falling stones in the well, and it was the same as before.
"Let your kid throw less stones in front of me in the future, and make me annoyed to death by messing up my master's well. The master couldn't help but be annoyed when he saw Tang Li's stone thrown down again, and the wine spilled out with a shake of his hand, which made the master's heart ache.
Tang Li didn't care, and only stopped making trouble after losing another one, and responded with a smile: "Let your old man not tell me what secrets this well has, I'm very curious." ”
As soon as the master was still angry, his anger dissipated in an instant, and he shook his head and said vaguely: "Zi said: 'Don't say, don't say' You, you can't see those strange worlds. ”
Tang Lifu couldn't help but "cut".
This kind of answer has been repeated countless times over the years, and Tang Li's tireless questioning and Master's tireless answer are also quite interesting. Tang Li couldn't help but smile when he heard the master's answer again. Then he looked at the well, and said softly beside the drunken master, "Old man, after a while, I think, go out for a walk." ”
When the master heard Tang Li's words, he shook his half-drunk head and waved his hand, only to see that the well water was crystal clear and a bright moon rose slowly, although the night sky was dark at the moment.
"Don boy. ”
"Yes. ”
"Is the truth clear in the book of the sages?"
"Familiar, not yet known. ”
"What do you think of the world's common life and self-indulgence?"
"Master, I just want to live well. Tang Li's eyes were clear and he replied to this sentence. "If the whole world is opposed to itself, how should we deal with ourselves? Living and living forever is the pursuit of our generation. Then, without waiting for the Master to speak, he replied: "If you want to save the world, you must first save yourself." I don't expect cause and effect in the next life, I only want this life, and I want to be free. ”
The master listened to Tang Li's answer, saw that the bright moon in the well was still bright, nodded, and the bright moon gradually dissipated into the water. Mingyue asked this time, Tang Xiaozi is okay, and his Dao heart is transparent. It seems that he can go to the North Courtyard, and although he has seen it for so many years, although his heart is sad, he will not be evil. Because Tang Lixi seems to be enthusiastic about everything, but in fact he is indifferent to everything and has no feelings, and will not take the initiative to hurt or be a savior saint. But that's fine, if the knife is still cowering when the knife is on the neck, how can it be the character of your own vein?
The master threw a sign to Tang Li, Tang Li took it and looked at it, looked at the master with some shock, and said, "Old man, give me the 'whatever you want' card?
The master looked at this young man who was almost not shocked on weekdays, and couldn't help but laugh when he held this sign with a shocked look: "How can the people who go out of my Sage Village not have a means of self-defense, but I have seen your physique, it is so ordinary that it can no longer be ordinary, and it is impossible to practice, so when the time comes, go and get a little self-defense by yourself, and you can get out of you after reading all the books in it." ”
Tang Lixi smiled and flattered the master, saying that he would definitely bring different wines back in the future to pay respects. The master looked at this little apprentice who was obedient when he got a benefit, and couldn't help but slap him in the void, and slapped Tang Li in the north courtyard-Shupin Pavilion. Tang Lifu rolled in the air and fell to the ground with a "snap", got up with a smile and patted the dust of his clothes, and then bowed deeply in the direction of the east courtyard.
The master looked at the little apprentice who was removed by his own slap, and his eyes narrowed. In his heart, he actually had an answer to the origin of Tang Xiaozi's sad eyes.
Born to know?!Interesting you.
