8. Déjà vu
Lu Guanzhong was lucky to pass the test, and the pressure was all transferred to Lu Tongtian's shoulders in an instant, Lu Tongtian racked his brains, and said in his heart: "The second half of this poem is already a mess, even if the words and sentences I came up with are exquisite, I am afraid that it will be difficult to turn the tide, it is better to rot to the end." Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info big deal to fine ten taels of silver. The plan has been decided, and he immediately coughed twice and read: "The Lu family's craftsmanship is the best in the world." ”
Liu Ru was heartbroken, and thought: "The first half of this poem is through Qian Qianyi, myself, Zhang Quandan's hands, and obviously has the potential to be a masterpiece." Who knew that the style of the second half of the text changed abruptly, and it was a pity not to be elegant. ”
But before she let Guan Ning cavalry and Lu Guanzhong pass the pass, she had already set a precedent, and it was difficult to convince the public, so she had to ignore her conscience and sighed: "Okay, Lu is in charge, then count you as passing!"
Lu Tongtian smiled proudly and arched his hand: "Xie Liucai is a talented woman." ”
At this time, the poem had reached the last sentence, and everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Bei, not knowing what he could do to destroy this poem.
Xiao Bei was very entangled, and suddenly he caught a glimpse of Liu Ru's worried look, as if he felt familiar, and suddenly a thought flashed in his mind, and a poem blurted out involuntarily: "I still remember when Liu Village drove the corpse." ”
"What?!" Liu Ru suddenly looked frightened, as if she had heard something incredible, her eyes widened, her body trembled, and she looked at Xiao Jie motionlessly.
Everyone thought it was strange that this poem had nothing to do with the above, and they didn't know why Liu Ru was so nervous.
After a while, Liu Ru calmed down a little, and pretended to be calm: "Master Xiao, your poem seems to be a little off-topic, can you explain it?"
Xiao Bei also suddenly had an idea, and he didn't know why he was like this, so he had to say: "You know the meaning of this poem, and others will not understand." ”
Liu Ru suddenly showed a trance look, her body staggered, and she fell backwards, Wu Sangui hurriedly grabbed it, held her up, and shouted to Xiao Bei: "You demon monk, what did you do to Liu Cainu?"
Xiao Bei shook his head and said, "This is a matter between the two of us, you don't have to worry about it." ”
"You ......" Wu Sangui was angry for a while, and then laughed angrily, and said: "Demon monk, there is a way in heaven that you don't go, and there is no door in hell, you dare to speak disrespectfully to me Wu Sangui?
"Don't ...... General Wu...... I'm fine......" Liu Ru opened her eyes and said softly, and then she stood firm, her face showed a complicated look, her lips were clenched, and there seemed to be infinite thoughts between her eyebrows, after a long time, she seemed to have made up her mind, and arched her hand towards Xiao Bei, and said: "Master Xiao, can you please gather in the little woman's room tonight, the little woman has something to say to you." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and it took a long time to come back to their senses, and they understood that Xiao Bei had become Liu Ru's chosen guest, so they all showed disbelief.
In fact, Qinglou is also like officialdom, divided into three, six, nine and so on, and it seems that Liu Ru is such a geisha, which is undoubtedly the top of the top. It is rare for ordinary people to see her, and even if they do, they are just fortunate enough to be mixed in the crowd and listen to her play the piano and sing.
Only these geisha themselves can be invited by her, become a good guest, enter the boudoir, and be alone with her. However, there is no one in ten thousand such characters, and they are not rich gentry or powerful officials, so they can be close to Fangze.
And Liu Ru is the most special one among the geisha.
Although she is a geisha, she has always been clean and self-conscious, talented, beautiful, and resolute and discerning, so few people can become her customers. And she is also famous all over the world, and everyone is in the limelight, even if you are the emperor Laozi, you can't force her, otherwise you will be drowned in boundless saliva.
And now Xiao Bei just lightly recited a crooked poem that didn't make sense, and actually got the opportunity to be alone with her, how could he not shock everyone present?
Xiao Bei looked at Liu Ru's sad appearance, and couldn't help but gasp, finally knowing where his poem came from.
This Liu Ru is completely indistinguishable from Liu Minshi's previous life when she was a corpse chaser! Whether it is facial features, figure, personality, or that complaining expression, it is as if carved out of a mold. Therefore, Xiao Bei had a strong sense of déjà vu, so he said the poem.
So he put his hand up in front of him, pretending to be solemn, and said, "Amitabha, it is better for the old man to be respectful. ”
"You obscene monk, what kind of demon method did you use? Suddenly, Xiao Bei's ears heard Zhang Zhi's urgent voice.
Xiao Bei sent the voice back, and said with a wicked smile: "The poor monk has his own clever plan. The little Taoist priest Hugh wants to say more. ”
Liu Ru then waved at Qian Qianyi and said, "Husband, please let Liu Ru be willful again." ”
Qian Qianyi stroked his beard and said solemnly: "Don't get in the way, I can trust you." ”
"Wait! I disagree. You are already married to a wife, how can you be so messy?" Wu Sangui suddenly jumped out in anger.
"General Wu, please don't spew blood, since I married into the Qian family, I will never do anything that does not abide by women's morals, I have important matters to discuss with Master Xiao, please don't get in the way. "Liu Ru is the right color.
Wu Sangui said anxiously: "If so...... Why do you have to embarrass yourself so much? First marry this old man, and then you have to be alone with this demon monk...... It's not that I can't trust you, I ...... I can't believe this demon monk. ”
Xiao Bei walked up to him and pretended to be profound: "General Wu, he is a high-ranking monk in Xia, and he has long been extraordinary, and he has no more feelings. If you pester Miss Liu again, I will write to the emperor, saying that you have insulted outsiders, harassed married women, and damaged the face of the court. He also held heavy troops and colluded with the vassal king to plot against him. ”
Wu Sangui was shocked when he heard this, and Xiao Bei's previous two charges were not enough, and the last one was one of Chongzhen's taboos, and Yuan Chonghuan died on this point. At this moment, he did take the soldiers to be a guest at the house of the son-in-law of the King of Qin, if this demon monk played according to this, he would not be able to deny it, but he was afraid that he would lose his head. So he hurriedly changed his face and said with a smile: "The holy monk said that he was joking, he was just coming here for business, how could he have such an idea, everyone drinking...... Drink...... I salute the holy monk three cups. ”
With that, he turned around and returned to his seat.
Zhang Zhinan's voice came from Xiao Bei's ears again, and said: "What's the matter? It's always right to listen to my righteous brother's words, officialdom is like a battlefield, Wu Sangui, this grandson, who is my opponent?"
Xiao Bei said with a smile: "The righteous brother is a treacherous and slippery, Yan Song is reincarnated, and the younger brother is ashamed of himself." ”
Everyone had their own thoughts, pretended to laugh, pushed the cup and changed the lamp for a while, and finally everyone dispersed and left the table.
Lu Guan Zhong just wanted to lead Xiao Zhang and the others to bed, but Liu Ru walked to Xiao Bei's side and whispered in his ear: "I'll wait for you on the top floor of Guanyunxuan tonight." With that, she passed him casually, and disappeared at the end of the hallway.
Lu Guanzhong and Zhang Zhinan both looked at Xiao Cheap with the eyes of a dog staring at the flesh and bones, and Xiao Cheap said vigilantly: "What are you two doing?"
Zhang Zhinan shook his head and said: "It's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, righteous brother, my brother has always been happy to help others, if you need any help, just tell your brother." ”
Xiao Bei said: "I want you to do me a favor and stay away from me." ”
Zhang Zhinan made a disappointed look, and wept: "I have a righteous brother, named Xiao Bei, pure ice and snow, like a virgin, today is about to disappear in the world, woo hoo lament, the pain of the world, nothing more than the white-haired person to send the black-haired person, today for my brother to make this eulogy, is to pay tribute to my pure and immaculate brother Xiao Bei, to beg the shameless Tibetan mastiff who forgets his righteousness......"
Seeing that Zhang Zhi was difficult to defeat, Lu Guan Zhong stepped forward and said: "Master, I heard that Liu Ru is a geisha, presumably like a wolf and a tiger, with a lot of tricks, although you have a fairy body, but you are still a chick, I am afraid that if you are not careful, you will be eaten alive and turned into a human being." The apprentice had discussed with Haoyue about men and women, so it was better to ......"
Xiao Bei said: "No need, you haven't practiced for many days, don't go out tonight, run the true qi along the yin and yang marks in your body, if you don't go through ten weeks, I'm afraid that all your previous efforts will be wasted." ”
Lu Guanzhong's heart sank, and he immediately put away his thoughts of making trouble. led Xiao Zhang and the others to their respective rooms and went back to their rooms to practice.
Xiao Bei took a break in the room, and when he was nearing Hai, he saw that there was no one else in the corridor. He quietly went out and walked down the stairs to the top floor.
There are no bedrooms on the top floor, only a few studies. Xiao Bei searched along the corridor, and finally found a room in a corner with "Guanyunxuan" written on the door, so he pushed the door in.
There is a small table inside the door, with a green lamp, pen and inkstone, and two cushions next to the table, which is still in a simple style with nothing else. The room has no wall and a balcony, from which you can see the clouds, it is really like being in a fairyland.
Liu Ru sat with the lamp, and when she saw Xiao Bei entering, she got up slightly, gave a salute, and said, "Master Xiao, the concubine is polite here." ”
Xiao Bei pretended to be pretty, folded his hands, and said: "Amitabha, the old man has a lot of trouble, and Lord Liu is not strange." ”
Liu Ru smiled indifferently, elegant and graceful, and said: "The concubine is the first time to meet someone outside the party, it feels a little strange. Master, if you don't dislike it, please sit across from you. ”
Xiao Bei gave another salute and sat across the table with Liu Ru. The two of them were silent after these greetings, and for a while only the lights in the room flickered, and there was no movement.
After a long time, Liu Ru finally hesitated and said, "Master, the reason why the concubine invited you here is to ask why you wanted to read that poem before?"
Xiao Bei said: "The old man remembered an old man, and he felt something, so he occasionally got this sentence, could it be that Master Liu also felt this sentence?"
Liu Ru suddenly became restless, scratched his head, and said, "Touch...... Not really...... It's just that we are describing high-rise buildings, but you came up with such a sentence, which is too abrupt, so it is strange in my heart. ”
Xiao Bei laughed and said: "Then this is the old man's fault, he should have been fined three glasses of wine, but fortunately, Lord Liu was merciful and let the old man escape this catastrophe." Thank you here. ”
Liu Ru is expression was even more flustered, at a loss, the calm and dignified appearance in the past was gone, and after a while, she twisted and asked, "Master Xiao, what is the corpse chasing?"
Xiao Bei was nostalgic and said: "Chasing corpses is an ancient craft, and it is a craftsman who collects the corpses in the abandoned wilderness and embalms them to make them look close to those before his death. Then fix it through some props, so that it can walk in the world with the corpse chaser, and finally let its fallen leaves return to its roots and its soul to its hometown. It is a good deed of immeasurable merit to make the deceased rest in peace and the living to rejoice. ”
Liu Ru suddenly relaxed a lot, and couldn't help but say: "Then I am not killing people in my dream, but driving out corpses?"
