Chapter 057: A Little Test (Part II)
Yo...... Which one is this? Guan Xiao's heart blossomed. He is a thief, and Ding Yi educated him as a child: "Let's be honest and honest in our old business, but we can't go to the pit to cheat and deceive, how lacking in virtue it is." "Ding Yi has three teachings and ninth-rate people around him, and he is really afraid that his apprentice will learn badly, so he is tightly admonished.
Guan Xiao didn't go to the pit to be abducted, it was thanks to Ding Yi's good education when he was a child, otherwise there would be nothing to do with Deyun's class master.
"Thank you so much, Senior Brother Pang. Guan Xiao hurriedly got up and served tea to the senior brothers with a smile on his face, and after thinking about it, Guan Xiao did not waste a cigarette from the immortals.
"Where, where, yesterday we only found out that you are the number one among this year's disciples, and your performance is really excellent. Pang Dong praised without words: "Then we remembered that Senior Brother Zhang Yuan was a flower." ”
While speaking, Pang Dong took out two red pills the size of soybeans from his arms: "This Divine Qi Pill is a little bit of senior brother's heart. ”
Guan Xiao didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Pang Dong's gourd, so he reached out and took the pill, and immediately smelled a fragrance: "Junior brother is shallow in knowledge, I don't know what this Shenqi Pill is for?"
"Oh, when the disciple entered the mountain gate, among the first three pills he studied, there was this Divine Qi Pill, which was used to consolidate the dantian breath, and it was the most effective. As soon as Pang Dong's voice fell, a few junior disciples behind him echoed in a row.
There shouldn't be any big problem with this elixir, no matter how bold Pang Dong is, it is impossible to pull a group of disciples to send fake medicine to himself. Guan Xiao has already figured out this layer, but Guan Xiao is not prepared
"Look, Senior Brother Guan is still angry with me because of what happened last time. What's wrong with not believing me?" Pang Dong stood up suddenly: "You take one casually first." ”
Guan Xiao picked up one with a smile, Pang Dong threw the other one into his mouth in front of Guan Xiao, and sent it down with a mouthful of water: "Senior brother, do you still suspect that this is poison? ”
"Then I'll laugh it off. In front of everyone's eyes, Guan Xiao really couldn't push it away, and with a push of his palm, the red pill jumped up and fell into his mouth, which was also sent down with a mouthful of water.
Pang Dong and a few other disciples obviously relaxed, chatted with Guan Xiao for a while, and left with their fists clenched.
When the door was closed, Guan Xiao opened his mouth and spit out the red pill - not only the thief sect, but all the lower ninth-rate Zhengzhi disciples knew how to hide things in their mouths, not to mention a red pill, even if it was a dozen sharp blades, hidden in their mouths, they could still talk and eat normally.
Guan Xiao put the pill in a small porcelain bottle, and when he had the opportunity, he would consult Yan Caiju or Ping Mei Zhenren.
Just about to sit quietly, the door was pushed open again, and this time it was six or seven junior disciples who were the same age as Guan Xiao, Guan Xiao knew each other, and the leading one was Yang Zongyan, the precious child of the Yang family, and the other little boys were all between seven and thirteen years old, all of whom were children of the family in the sect.
If these children had nothing to do with Pang Dong just now, Guan Xiao wouldn't believe it, he had a headache, if it was Pang Dong, then no matter what method he used, he would have no shame, he wouldn't be able to do it in the face of a few little kids.
"Guan Xiao, you are shameless!" Yang Zongyan pointed at Guan Xiao's nose and yelled.
"Senior Brother Yang, what did you say about Mei Zhenren, do you treat Senior Brother like this?" Guan Xiao immediately sank his face.
"Senior brother, where do we have such a shameless senior brother?" said an older child in the back.
"What are you doing here?" Yan Caiju heard from Mei Zhenren that Guan Xiao had woken up, just in time for this scene.
"Hmph, uncles talk, you can't seem to interject. Yang Zongyan rolled his eyes and looked at Yan Caiju like a little adult, he was much younger than Yan Caiju, he knew very little about this nephew, and he had no scruples when he spoke.
"Guan Xiao, are you embarrassed to say that you are a senior brother, do you have such a teacher?" Yang Zongyan continued to accuse Guan Xiao, righteous and awe-inspiring: "At the exam banquet, you must know that those tigers and lions are controlled by orcs, pretend that you are very bold, and then kill the controlled beasts, what kind of ability is this? What's even more shameful is that Senior Brother Zhang Yuan values you so much, and when you choose the treasure, you can do whatever you say, and what will happen to you?" actually deceived Senior Brother Zhang's feelings, deceived Qiankun into a bag, and then forced Master Tianshi to take out a heavy treasure to exchange with you, do you still want to be embarrassed?"
Can a six- or seven-year-old say that? A child on earth who watches soap operas and Japanese tattered scout cartoons every day can't say it. Guan Xiao had already guessed that this must have something to do with Pang Dong and the little pill, and of course Guan Xiao would not expose them - it was not fun to do that.
Therefore, Guan Xiao decided to cooperate, cooperate well, and see which one of the children of the new Tushi family sang: "How can you say that? Since Senior Brother Zhang Yuan said it was for me, of course it was for me. ”
"That's not good, the master is a treasure, how can it be handed over to a person of unknown origin like you?" Yang Zongyan grimaced, and walked a few steps on the ground like an adult: "In this way, I won't bully you." ”
As he spoke, he took out a pair of ivory cards from his arms and put them on the table, the card body is ten centimeters long, three centimeters wide, the whole body is white, one piece is carved with a black turtle, and the other piece is coiled with a cyan dragon, the carving is simple, and it looks like there are years of things. It is estimated that if you throw it at the auction house, it will definitely sell for a good price. Guan Xiao numbered this object tooth card in his heart.
"Why did you bring the things of the ancestor?" Yan Caiju took a look, this ivory card has a great origin, Zhang Daoling's ancestor fought a thousand-year-old elephant when he preached in the southwest, and got a single tooth, more than four meters long, weighing more than 600 catties, Zhang Daoling and Zhang Heng father and son used some, and the rest was passed on to Zhang Lu, Zhang Lu at the beginning of his cultivation, carved this pair of ivory cards, took the four elephants, the turtle was the main defense, the green dragon was the main attack, and there were originally Vermilion Bird and White Tiger.
Zhang Lu has been guarding Hanzhong for so many years, why the ethnic minorities in the west have not been able to attack, and there is a credit for this tooth card. Later, Suzaku and White Tiger were shattered when they resisted the Sixty-Nine Thunder Tribulation, and when Zhang Lu soared, he gave the treasure he carried to the disciples, and the Yang family got the tooth card.
Yang Zonghan glanced at Yan Caiju, snorted, and continued to say to Guan Xiao: "This pair of tooth cards is the treasure of my Yang family, at least it is also a magic weapon of the Zhou level. Guan Xiao, you are also a cultivator now, according to the words of several uncles and uncles, you are already about to enter the Bigu period. Then you senior brother...... Oh, does the so-called senior brother have the guts to gamble with a kid like me?"
"Oh, what to bet on? How to bet? What is the bet? Why don't you dare to bet, you are a child, and you still bet with me? Aren't you afraid that your pants will be gone if you lose?" Guan Xiao seemed to be excited by a few words, but his heart was happy.
Unspeakable Master:
An explanation that has to be made about the relationship between Cao Cao and the Cao family and the Xiahou family.
Readers who ask such questions are mainly because they don't know much about the ancient Chinese succession system. In ancient times, the most important thing was to pass on the ancestry, the so-called: unfilial piety has three no descendants for the great, a thousand tilts of a seedling, etc., are all this truth. As the name suggests, the inheritance is to pass on the surname and tablet of the ancestors, unlike what paternity test everyone understands now, to pass on the "bloodline" - there was no such technology in ancient times.
If there is no son in your own family, especially if the official eunuch family does not have a son, then it will be troublesome, and it will be called cutting off children and grandchildren and collapsing the ancestral temple. There are two solutions, one is to pass on a son to inherit the family for himself; in addition, if there is a daughter in the family, then you can recruit a son-in-law, and the child must be surnamed her maiden name, why does the son-in-law have no status, the reason is this-you can't even keep your surname, what status do you have?
Once the adoptive relationship is established, then the child's father has become the adoptive father, and his biological father and mother have become outsiders. There is a modern example is Yuan Shikai, he was passed on by his father to his uncle, and since then, when he sees his father again, he has to be called uncle. The same family and surname are so particular, let alone different surnames.
This is also the reason why Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms wanted to accept Kou as his righteous son, and Guan Yu was very unhappy. After accepting this righteous son who is older than Liu Chan, who will the country pass on to in the future?
Therefore, from the perspective of ancient Chinese surname inheritance, no matter whose child Cao Cao was originally from, as long as he passed on to the Cao family, it was naturally the Cao family, and from the day of the succession, all his children and grandchildren were the old Cao family, not other families.
In addition, many readers have not understood two points, first, it is not Cao Cao who was adopted, it is his father Cao Song who was adopted, so, to Cao Cao's generation, that is 100% of the old Cao family - the ancestor of the old Cao family is famous, it is the Han Dynasty Xiangguo Cao Shen, there is an idiom in ancient times "Xiao Gui Cao Sui", Xiao is to say that Liu Bang's three important ministers Xiao He, Cao refers to Cao Shen.
Second, Cao Cao is not directly related to the Xiahou family, and many things written in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are plausible.
