Li Xiuyuan, who returned to the house, did not go into the room to sleep, but sat in the pavilion to meditate and practice qi. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the Great Dao of Renshan has not been effective, if you cultivate it on weekdays, if you don't say anything else, you can at least make yourself energetic, and you don't have to sleep all night every day like ordinary people.

This sitting is two hours.

The night faded quickly, and the early morning sun was already falling.

Li Xiuyuan, who had recuperated his spirits, opened his eyes slightly.

"Others say that cultivation is good and that you can live forever, but who can understand the boredom of cultivation, I have only been meditating for two hours and then I can't continue to settle down, I really don't know how those so-called masters of the Tao can sit for a day, or even ten days and half a month. ”

He thought to himself.

Stretching his waist and moving his muscles and bones, he still planned to go back to the house to review the Four Books and Five Classics, lest he fail the exam when he got the show, which would become a joke.

"That scholar who practiced qi, are you the master of this mansion?"

Suddenly, just as Li Xiuyuan was preparing to meet in the study, a voice came.

"Who?" Li Xiuyuan immediately looked at him.

But I saw a burly man standing on the courtyard wall of his house, with a swallow jaw and tiger whiskers, and a leopard's head and eyes.

"I'm just a passer-by, I saw that there was no good wine outside your mansion, and I wanted to ask the owner of this mansion if it was for sale?" said the burly man.

"I didn't have alcohol in front of my house, I'm afraid this friend is mistaken. Li Xiuyuan said.

"Since you are the master of this house, it is easy to do. ”

After the burly man finished speaking, he jumped down from the courtyard wall, and then after a while, he jumped to the courtyard wall again with a large wine jar in one hand, and he shook the wine jar in his hand: "This is the wine placed at the door of your house, why is it not yours?"

"Good skills. Li Xiuyuan didn't care about the wine, but cared about the skills of this big man.

The courtyard wall on his own house is one zhang high, to say the least, and since this big man can jump up with a jar of dozens of catties of wine, this is not something that ordinary people can do.

"Your skills are not bad, there are so many scholars in the world, but there are no scholars like you, and there are such good martial arts at a young age. ”

The big man said: "Look at the way you meditated and practiced qi before, you know that you are taking the path of practicing qi, and you can cultivate a martial art with the way of practicing qi, you are a scholar with a very high talent for practicing martial arts, I think it is a waste for you to continue to study, just practice martial arts, within twenty years, there is one of the martial arts masters in the world." ”

"It's a pity that I'm not interested in martial arts. Li Xiuyuan said with a smile.

The big man nodded and said, "I understand, everything is inferior, only reading is high, reading is indeed an elegant thing, but have you thought about it, scholar, how many scholars have been there throughout the ages? ”

"Each has its own law, and there are some things that cannot be forced. Li Xiuyuan said, of course he knew that it was so happy.

But the current Li family needs to become the home of the eunuchs, otherwise the incident of Liu County's order will still happen that day.

"That's right, each has its own way. , then don't talk about this, do you really not sell this wine?" The big man shook the wine jar in his hand and said, "I will pay a hundred taels of silver to buy you a jar." ”

"This wine is not how I sell you. Li Xiuyuan said.

The big man seemed to smell the smell of wine in the wine jar at this time, and smiled: "Since it's not yours, then I can't care about it, drink it first, if the master finds it, it's a big deal to pay him some money." ”

As he spoke, he lifted the mud seal, lifted the jar, and poured it into his mouth.

The rich aroma of wine emanated, and Li Xiuyuan in the courtyard smelled it.

It is indeed a rare good wine.

But the smell is familiar!

Li Xiuyuan looked at the wine poured out of the wine jar again, but it was scarlet as blood, shining brightly, like the Tang Dynasty Western Regions wine drunk in the City God Temple last night.

Immediately, he understood something.

This wine appeared at his door, and I am afraid that the city god sent a few jars to himself at night to find a ghost.

But then he frowned again: "This city god will not send me wine for no reason, I am afraid that this wine will be sent to me to make amends." ”

"I remembered that this was a wine of atonement given to me by someone else, I didn't want it originally, it seems that the man didn't inform me in advance, so he put down the wine and left, and now I can't return it after you have drunk a jar. ”

The big man put down the wine jar, wiped his beard and said with a smile: "I said earlier that it was your wine, you don't admit it, but I also drank this wine, and you can't let me spit it out, pay you a hundred taels of silver, it's a pity not to drink such a fine wine here." ”

"I'm not short of money. Li Xiuyuan said.

"You don't want money, so what do you want? I'll tell you the truth, if you don't want money and wine, I won't pay you back. The big man said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "I don't want you to change, I see that your martial arts are very high, how about pointing out my martial arts?"

"Pointing you out?"

The big man looked at Li Xiuyuan with a pair of leopard eyes, and grinned, "Where do you still need my guidance, as long as you continue to practice like this, you will be able to become a martial arts master in less than a year, as long as you are strong-willed, even demons and monsters can't do anything about you." ”

After speaking, he looked at the tiger-swallowing golden gun standing in the courtyard.

"And you are playing with a big gun, a weapon on the battlefield, you can only see it when you ride a horse, I use a sword, a weapon to fight with people, and it is not a road, and it is useless for you to learn my martial arts. ”

"You don't see your sword. Li Xiuyuan asked.

"My sword will come out to see blood, otherwise it will not be collected. The big man said.

Li Xiuyuan said, "Then you wait. ”

With that, he turned and went to the kitchen, took out a live chicken, and threw it into the yard.

"Can this chicken try your sword? Li Xiuyuan said that he was still quite interested in the sword of this big man.

"Haha, yes, since I drank your wine and you didn't take my money, I will show you my sword. The big man laughed, then opened his mouth and spit out, and a white rainbow flew out.

This white rainbow was extremely fast, went straight to the hen, and quickly turned around the hen's neck, only to see that the hen's body was still running forward, and the head had fallen silently, and the chicken blood splattered out of the neck.

"How is my sword?"

The big man opened his mouth and sucked it again, and Bai Hong flew in, turning into a pill and swallowing it in his stomach.

Li Xiuyuan's eyes immediately shrank slightly, he didn't expect that this big man's sword was actually a flying sword.

Legend has it that the sword is practiced into a pill, and the flying sword that kills people by exhaling breath.

"Okay, what a flying sword, fast as lightning, extremely sharp, can behead people thousands of miles away, this is the means of the sword fairy, I really didn't expect you to be a sword fairy. Li Xiuyuan said.

"What kind of sword immortal am I, it's just that I got a little bit of creation and earned a sword pill, don't envy me, this sword pill will see blood when it comes out, but it can't kill people, kill people, and the sword is stained with human blood, it needs to be washed with heaven and earth, otherwise I can't fly if I lose my spirituality, I haven't killed a person since I got this sword, and today I slaughtered a chicken." ”

The big man took another sip of wine and said: "Okay, I won't tell you, I am the catcher of the six doors, and I have to catch another thief today, scholar, you are different from other laymen, I look pleasing to the eye, see you when I have time later." ”

After saying that, he jumped off the courtyard wall and left.

"Since it is fate, I will send you two jars of wine to take away. Li Xiuyuan shouted again.

"Okay, then I'll take it. Dahan's voice came from outside the courtyard wall, and he was not polite.

When Li Xiuyuan walked to the gate of the mansion to take a look, he found that there were only seven jars of wine left outside, but there was no trace of the big man, and he didn't know where he had gone.

Look at this, the city god gave himself a total of ten jars of wine.

"Ten jars of wine should be regarded as atonement, and Chenghuang really sent me away as a child. ”

Li Xiuyuan's face was calm and looked in the direction of the city god: "If it weren't for the fact that I didn't react for a while and was drunk by this man, I would really have to return this wine to the city god." ”

But there is no need to go back now.

Ten jars of wine were sent out of three jars, where can they be returned.

However, it is worth it to make friends with a man who can spit out flying swords with three jars of wine, and if you meet them in the future, you can also have a little friendship.

Shaking his head, Li Xiuyuan turned around and went back to the mansion again, and then ordered the two guards who stayed in the mansion to bring in the seven jars of wine.

Since the things can't be returned, then take them.

"Ten jars of wine understand the grievances between Chenghuang and me, and this Chenghuang has made a lot of money. ”

Li Xiuyuan said secretly in his heart, and then he also put away his mind and stopped thinking about these flies and dogs.

When he returned to the house, he went back to the study and began to study hard.

For several days, he rarely went out of the house, staying alone in his study, and when he was sleepy, he would go outside to meditate, and when he was hungry, he would be taken care of by Fluttershy and Du Chunhua.

Although Fluttershy is the maid next to Qingmei, she also knows a little about pen and ink, and she reads with her on weekdays, and she doesn't look lonely when she grinds ink, but has a bit of red sleeves to add fragrance.

Although Du Chunhua is a mountain village girl, she is diligent in her hands and feet, washing and cooking, and proficient in housework.

The two of them were waiting by their side, which also made Li Xiuyuan feel extra worry-free.

As for going to make friends and attend any literati gatherings like ordinary scholars, he didn't have much interest, lest he meet the mediocre-looking scholar again, as well as the Hedong boy Ye Huai'an, and he would be in a bad mood when the time came.

Let's wait until after the exam.

But not many days have passed since the peaceful days.

About five days later.

Li Xiuyuan played with a big gun in the courtyard in the morning, shot a pot of bows, and ensured that his muscles and bones were not lazy, and then went into the study to practice calligraphy.

"Tranquility and distance. ”

He put pen to paper and wrote these four big characters.

"Fluttershy, look, how does my strength compare to the other day?"

Fluttershy sharpened her ink on the side, her bright eyes moving, and she said with a smile, "The young master's pen is amazing, no matter what he writes, it looks good, and it's much better than the previous days." ”

"Hehe, you know that flattering me, this word has to go to the examination room, and it can't be written well. Li Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled, but continued to practice calligraphy.

But then again, he did feel that his handwriting was much better than the previous days.

I don't know if it's because I have a seven-trick exquisite heart.
