In the twenty-ninth year of Tang Kaiyuan, one morning in the dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong had just sat down, Tian Tongxiu, a member of the army in Chen's mansion, stepped forward to play, and said: Your Majesty, Weichen had a dream last night, dreaming that the purple gas lingered on the Danfeng Gate of Hangu Guan in Taolin County, and Emperor Xuanyuan (Lao Tzu) floated in it, and the minister was about to come forward to bow down, only to hear his old man say: I hide the spirit rune, Yu Yinxi's old house. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" is gone. The minister did not understand what he meant, and asked His Majesty to make a holy judgment. Xuanzong was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately sent people to Hangu Pass to look for the spirit rune. Sure enough, a "spirit rune" was dug up to the west of the old house of Yin Xi, the original Guan of Hangu Pass, a piece of wood made of peach wood, on which were written: "Ten Ten Ten Wood". Everyone was puzzled, so they had to send the spirit talisman to Chang'an and present it to Emperor Xuanzong. Xuanzong held the spirit talisman and looked left and right, but he couldn't understand it, and the ministers couldn't see any fame. Seeing this, Tian Tongxiu, who was good at tending to inflammation, said tentatively: "I don't know whether Weichen's opinion is right or not, and I don't dare to say anything. Xuanzong said: "Aiqing found that the spirit rune is meritorious, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it. Tian Tongxiu said: "The minister looks at these words together seem to be the word "mulberry" in the ancient book, three crosses, plus a wooden character, and the wood is disassembled into a cross, an eight character, and the total is forty-eight. In this way, the ministers all understood. ”

"Forty-eight, forty-eight, Emperor Xuanyuan blessed my emperor for forty-eight years of prosperity!" a minister actually shouted with joy. Xuanzong was overjoyed and thought that this was Lao Tzu's gift to him, so he changed the name of the year "Kaiyuan" to "Tianbao", and changed the Taolin County where the spirit rune was found to Lingbao County.

Tian Tongxiu, who joined the army, was able to rise step by step because of his meritorious contribution to the spirit talisman.

Since the founding of Emperor Gaozu, the Tang Dynasty has finally won the prosperous era of the Xuanzong Dynasty after the hard work of several emperors. Under the prosperous era, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, with abundant food and clothing, and the population also increased dramatically. In addition, Datang has always been trading with foreign countries, and many foreign businessmen often come to Chang'an to do business. Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, which is the most populous place in the country, and now there are many outsiders, so people come and go all day long, without interruption. Due to the frequent comings and goings of people, there are also many teahouses and inns around the road they pass through for passers-by to enjoy. One of the most famous inns is the welcome restaurant opened by the shopkeeper Su Bantian. The Welcome Restaurant is the largest inn in Chang'an City, and its location is also in the most prosperous market, so it is full of guests every day, and it is very lively.

On this day, for some reason, the welcome restaurant suddenly posted a notice, which read: Wen Sheng's treasure, bless me Datang, the image of the prosperous era, thousands of generations. Only in the prosperous times can the people live and work in peace and contentment. I feel the grace of the prosperous times, and on a whim, I am willing to scatter all my wealth to provide food and clothing for the beggars in Kyoto. Within three days, whoever comes to the door of a beggar will be treated with delicacies and will not receive a penny. After three days, it was the same as before. I have specially posted this notice to hope that the beggars of Kyoto will come to the restaurant to dine, and I will welcome it. ”

When the beggars in the city heard about this, they rushed to eat and drink. It wasn't until three days later that the beggars were driven away by the shopkeeper and left one by one. The shopkeeper Su Bantian thought that there was no one in the store at this time, but he didn't want to, but the appearance of a person made him feel as if he was wrong. This man had been very drunk in the store every day for three days. Now on the fourth day, he still drinks in the shop, and never mentions the bill. Shopkeeper Su taught Xiao Er to test this person, and if this person was penniless, he would immediately drive him away. Xiao Er followed the instructions, holding a jar of fine wine in both hands and walking towards the man. The man was about twenty years old, dressed in a coarse cloth robe and wore an unusual sword at his waist, which was unusual because the scabbard of the sword was made of the finest Hetian jade. Xiao Er walked to the dining table and said aloud to the man: "Guest officer, there is a daughter red that has been treasured here for 20 years, do you want to taste it?" The man said: Since it is a fine wine, of course you must taste it well! When the man spoke, his mood seemed very lost, and his tone was low, obviously he was using wine to dispel his sorrows.

Xiao Er said again: If you want to taste it, it is not difficult, you only need the guest officer to pay for today's wine first! The man was stunned for a moment, and said: Why do you still have to pay? Doesn't it mean that you can eat and drink for nothing? Xiao Er's face sank, and he said: This store only stipulates that you can eat and drink for nothing for three days, and now that the three days have passed, it is time to pay for today's wine! The man was stunned again, and only after a while did he hesitate to say: Yuan, so this is the case! Seeing this, Xiao Er decided that this person was penniless, so he said arrogantly: If you want to repay the debt, we will arrest you and go to the official! After hearing this, the man untied the saber from his waist and said, "The scabbard and the body of this sword are all made of high-quality Hetian jade. Seeing this, Xiao Er couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he had to go to discuss with the shopkeeper. Soon, Shopkeeper Su rushed over when he heard the news. Fortunately, the shopkeeper Su is a person who knows the goods, he saw at a glance that this sword is by no means an ordinary thing, and his heart was surprised and happy, but he asked in a somewhat puzzled tone: The guest officer is really willing to use this sword to settle the bill? The man said expressionlessly: I Pu someone never tells lies, although the shopkeeper can rest assured! The shopkeeper Su was overjoyed when he heard this, and said in his heart: This thing can be used as two or three hundred taels of silver if it is not said, and today is considered to be rich!

Just when the shopkeeper Su was complacent, he heard a person say: "Such a good sword, if it is lost, wouldn't it be a pity?" The shopkeeper Su was broken by a word, and his heart was so unhappy, he wanted to scold the person, turned his head to look, and the person who spoke was dressed in an official uniform, and he was actually a person in the public gate, and he was really startled in his heart, and he was busy at the moment: I don't know if the official has arrived, and the small one is far away, and I hope to forgive the sin! The man in the official uniform smiled: The shopkeeper Su doesn't need to be so polite, there are other important things in this seat, and the shopkeeper Su only needs to take care of the guests! Shopkeeper Su nodded yes. Then he said: If the official wants to eat something, the little one tells the kitchen to do it. The man in the official uniform said, "The contemptible man just wants to have a few drinks with this brother surnamed Pu, so go and prepare some wine and food!" The brother surnamed Pu he said was naturally referring to the drunken man who was going to pay off with the jade sword. After a pause, the man in the official uniform said again: "Give back the jade sword to this benevolent brother!" The drunken man said coldly: Even if I starve to death on the street, I will never accept the favor of others! When the man in the official uniform heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I, Nie Sanjiang, just want to make a friend, Your Excellency won't even give this face, right?" It turned out that the name of the person in the official uniform was Nie Sanjiang. The drunken man said with a smile: Zai Xia is just a drunkard who drinks all day long, how can he be worthy of befriending Lord Nie?

Nie Sanjiang said solemnly: I Nie never distinguish between high and low when making friends, as long as the other party is a good man, then that is my Nie someone's friend! When the drunkard heard this, he laughed and asked rhetorically: A person who is so poor that he can't even afford to pay for wine is also a good man? Nie Sanjiang said solemnly: A person can be ridiculed by others, but he must not be ridiculed by himself, and if he even looks down on himself, then this person will never be able to turn over! The drunken customer was stunned and couldn't speak for a long time. After a while, a yamen catcher hurried to the inn, and when he saw Nie Sanjiang, he immediately kowtowed, and then reported: Back to the chief catcher, the person you asked your subordinates to check has been found by your subordinates. Nie Sanjiang nodded and said, "Very good, quickly tell me about that person!" The head catcher was about to speak, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the drunk sitting on the side. Nie Sanjiang also glanced at the drunken man and said: Come quickly, don't have any scruples! The catcher nodded quickly and said: That person's surname is Pu Yunyang, and he was originally the eldest disciple of the former head of the Shushan faction, the Jianmei Daoist, but because later, the Jianmei Daoist did not pass on the position of the head to Pu Yunyang, and Pu Yunyang left the Shushan faction in a fit of anger, so he fell so far. As he spoke, the catcher stared at the drunken man surnamed Pu from time to time.

Suddenly, the drunken guest said with a smile: I, Pu, have arrived in Chang'an, and it is only a few days at most, and Mr. Nie will find out Pu's origin so clearly, and the six doors are really powerful! Nie Sanjiang smiled and said: I, Nie, plan to make a deal with you, and since it is a business, then the two sides should no longer hide their heads and show their tails, right? The drunken man said: " Yes, below is Pu Yunyang, an outcast of the Shushan faction, but Pu Yunyang died a year ago, and now the person sitting in front of you is Pu Luochen, not Pu Yunyang!" Nie Sanjiang nodded and said, "It turned out to be Brother Luochen!" Pu Luochen said "um" and asked; I don't know what deal Mr. Nie plans to talk to Pu Mou? After hearing this, Nie Sanjiang asked Xiao Er to prepare tea, and then he pushed the catcher away, and then asked in a low voice: Pu Shaoxia, Lingbao County has a spiritual talisman hidden in it, presumably, you have heard about it, right? Pu Luochen said: This matter has spread all over the world, how could Pu not know? Nie Sanjiang asked tentatively: I don't know how Pu Shaoxia thinks about this matter? Pu Luochen said with a smile: Mr. Nie catches the head, if Pu answers the truth, he will definitely offend the people in the public family, even if Mr. Nie doesn't care about the headcatcher, but if other catchers hear it, Pu will only drink in the prison. Therefore, for the matter of the spirit rune, Pu still did not answer. ”

Nie Sanjiang laughed when he heard this, and said: Pu Shaoxia can rest assured, how about I change to a quiet room and discuss it in detail? After Shopkeeper Su left, Nie Sanjiang asked: This room is not bad, right?" Pu Luochen saw that the desktop was full of dust, smiled faintly, and said: Yes, compared to the beggar house where Pu lived, this room is already a first-class room. Nie Sanjiang said with a smile: Now, Pu Shaoxia can truthfully answer Nie's question! Pu Luochen said: Listen to it! Nie Sanjiang said: It's still that question, how does Pu Shaoxia view the matter of the spirit rune? Pu Luochen said with a smile: It's just a trick used by some people to get promoted and make a fortune, and it is not believable! Nie Sanjiang unconsciously showed a look of approval, and said happily: Pu Shaoxia can understand things so well, and Nie will be relieved. Pu Luochen said: Mr. Nie is in a high position, and he must be busy with official business, so he made a special trip to find Pu today, presumably for official business, right? Nie Sanjiang replied: Yes, then let's get down to business!

Nie Sanjiang quickly asked: "Recently, it has been rumored in the rivers and lakes that Lingbao County not only has a treasure of spirit runes, but also a magic weapon left behind when he praised his father to chase the sun. Smiled and said: Since Pu Shaoxia already knows that this rumor is absurd, why don't you go with Nie to debunk this lie? Pu Luochen suddenly said: It turns out that Nie Zongtou and Zai Xia intersected, and there is such a reason! Nie Sanjiang smiled reluctantly and said: If Pu Shaoxia is unwilling, Nie is not reluctant. Pu Luochen said with a smile: Mr. Nie, how do you think that this matter is not as simple as just to expose a lie? Nie Sanjiang's face turned grim and said: Could it be that Pu Shaoxia has already noticed something? Pu Luochen said with a straight face: You and I tacitly understand that I will not ignore this matter! Nie Sanjiang was overjoyed and praised: Pu Shaoxia is really a chivalrous person, please rest assured that after the matter is completed, Nie will definitely have a heavy reward!

When Pu Luochen heard Nie Sanjiang say this, he couldn't help but ask: Then how does Mr. Nie plan to thank me when the time comes? Nie Sanjiang smiled and said: At least I won't let Pu Shaoxia fall into the streets like he is now! Pu Luochen smiled and said no more. After a while, Nie and Pu walked out of the room and left the welcome restaurant separately. After the two of them left, the shopkeeper called the shopkeeper to his side, whispered a few words, and the second nodded lightly. I saw that the shopkeeper hurried to his residence and stayed in his room for about half an hour before coming out. By this time, he had an extra birdcage in his hand, and a pigeon was held in the birdcage. Xiao Er came to the backyard, took advantage of the time when there was no one around, gently opened the bird cage, grabbed the pigeon with one hand, tied the written letter to the pigeon's calf with the other, and then, with both hands, the pigeon was held high, and the pigeon spread its wings and flew. Fly to that unknown corner......
