Chapter 10 Piano, Chess, Calligraphy, Painting, Poetry, Wine and Tea
The wind passed through the peach forest, the peach tree shook slightly, and under the peach tree, the long-bearded old man was telling stories to Yang Yi and Gu Caiyu. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Since burying those three undead old monsters in the peach forest, these peach trees are really different from before, originally a tree could only produce three peaches, and then slowly there were several more, ten years later, each tree has nine peaches, each one is nine, no more, no less!"
The long-bearded old man smiled, "When he buried people, it was just as the peach trees were bearing fruit, so that the yield tripled, and the old man finally stopped worrying about the peach distribution." ”
Gu Caiyu said: "Divide the peaches, don't you exchange these peaches for poems?"
The long-bearded old man said with a smile: "Usually scattered people come here, if you want to ask for peaches, you have to exchange poems, but if the great grandmaster comes to ask for peaches, will the old man really not give them?
Yang Yi nodded and said: "That's what I said, there are three sects and nine streams, and there are hundreds of schools, which one is not easy to mess with." ”
The old man said: "Yes, even if you can provoke it, why bother to make more enemies? ”
Gu Caiyu said: "You're wrong, this peach is obviously owned by Confucianism, why should you share it with these people?
Yang Yi smiled: "Hello everyone is really good." If you want to win over all factions, this peach must be divided. ”
The old man said: "Yes, although Confucianism was strong at that time, after all, it was not as good as now, and it was still necessary to take into account the ideas of the rest of the factions, and this peach became the best gift for befriending all factions." ”
He sighed: "In the past, when the peaches were ripe, the Confucian people could only account for thirty percent, the rest of the East China Sea was divided into one percent, and the Buddha, Taoism and Demons each accounted for one percent, so that there was still half left. ”
Gu Caiyu said: "This time it will definitely be different." ”
The long-bearded old man smiled, "This time is indeed different. This time, the peach was divided, and the Taishi Mansion monopolized fifty percent, and the remaining peach Confucianism divided fifty percent, which was divided according to the rules of the past years. ”
Gu Caiyu applauded: "That's how it should be, they didn't say anything?"
The long-bearded old man said: "What do you say? Who will say? Who dares to say? If you are not satisfied, you can go to the immortal city to catch the 'fertilizer', and when the time comes, you can bring out the peaches and divide half of them." ”
Gu Caiyu smiled: "It's a pity that none of them have the skills of a master!"
Yang Yi saw that the two of them were more and more speculative, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and asked the old man: "After talking for a long time, what is the peach that ripens once in a thousand years, the old man hasn't said it yet." ”
The long-bearded old man glanced at Yang Yi deeply, "How does it taste, don't you know?"
Yang Yi smiled: "At least, my companion doesn't know. ”
The long-bearded old man said, "Okay, I'll tell you about the effect of this peach!"
He looked at Gu Caiyu and said, "This peach is not easy to bear fruit, and the effect is also extraordinary. People who practice martial arts eat this peach, which can change the root bones and give birth to potential, and a peach can be worth a hundred years of hard work. When it comes to all the gods in the world, this peach can rank among the top three. ”
Gu Caiyu's face showed envy, she didn't care much about the efficacy of this peach, but about another question, and asked, "Old man, how does this peach taste?
The long-bearded old man's body staggered, "What do you care about how it tastes?" The point of this peach is that it can improve the root bones, improve spirituality, and increase strength. What's even better is that the increased power can be deposited inside the body and slowly released, without any risk of harming the body. ”
Gu Caiyu pursed his lips and said: "If it tastes like chewing wax, it's fine, if it tastes like Coptis chinensis, then it's okay not to eat it." ”
The old man scolded with a smile: "Little girl is talking nonsense!"
He said to Yang Yi: "Boy, if you move forward, I won't stop you, but if you want to eat peaches, you have to make poems in exchange, are you ready?"
Yang Yi smiled: "I have a poem here, maybe my predecessors can like it." ”
The long-bearded old man said, "Tell me." ”
Yang Yi whispered: "Peach Blossom Nunnery in Peach Blossom Dock, Peach Blossom Fairy in Peach Blossom Nunnery." The peach blossom fairy planted peach trees and picked peach blossoms for wine money. When you wake up, you only sit in front of the flowers, and when you are drunk, you come to sleep with the flowers. Half-drunk and half-awake day after day, flowers bloom and fall year after year. ”
Reading this, Yang Yi stopped reading.
When Yang Yi chanted the first line of the poem, the long-bearded old man frowned slightly, shook his head and smiled, obviously not very approving with Yang Yi's poem.
But when Yang Yi chanted the third sentence, the old man sighed softly and said with a smile: "It's a bit interesting." ”
Seeing that Yang Yi suddenly stopped, the old man said, "Why did you stop?"
Yang Yi smiled: "I don't know if this poem might buy a peach?"
The old man scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, you keep reading." ”
Yang Yi laughed and continued to chant poetry: "I hope that the old man dies before drinking, and he is not willing to bow in front of the carriage and horse." The dust of the car and the horse are full of obvious things, and the hermit of the wine cup and flower branches is ......"
This Tang Bohu's peach blossom poem was read out by him in one breath, and when he read the last sentence "I don't see the tomb of Wuling heroes, there are no flowers and no wine to hoe the field", the long-bearded old man was finally moved and sighed: "This peach money is enough to buy a peach, and there is still a surplus!"
He said to Yang Yi: "Wait a while. ”
Turned around and entered the peach forest, and after the tea time, he walked in front of Yang Yi with a peach in one hand, and handed the two peaches to Yang Yi, "Your poem is good, the old man values two peaches, what do you think?"
The two peaches in his hand were the size of a sea bowl, red and white, and fragrant, and he felt unspeakably comfortable just by smelling them.
Gu Caiyu's saliva almost flowed out of his mouth, "Wow, is this the peach that ripens once in a thousand years?"
The old man nodded and said, "Not bad!"
Brought the peach flat in front of Yang Yi and said, "Here you go!"
Yang Yi said with a smile: "The old man cherishes the younger generations, and the kid is sincerely grateful." He said to Gu Caiyu: "I haven't thanked the old gentleman yet." ”
Gu Caiyu hurriedly took the two peaches, bowed to the old man, and said, "Thank you, Mr. for giving me the peach." ”
The old man waved his hand and said, "Go!"
Yang Yi took Gu Caiyu's hand, nodded to the old man, turned around and continued to move forward.
After walking a few steps, Gu Caiyu looked at the two peaches in his arms, his eyes lit up, and he salivated, and said to Yang Yi: "Third brother, I'll take a bite first." ”
Without waiting for Yang Yi to speak, he took a bite of "Ahhh
After she finished biting, she was about to leave her mouth, when Yang Yi's voice came, "Don't leave your mouth, this peach must be eaten in one go." ”
Gu Caiyu was stunned when she heard this, and said in her heart: "How can I eat such a big peach in one go?"
As soon as this thought turned, I felt that the peach flesh in my hand suddenly turned into juice, and from the place where the tip of the peach was bitten to my mouth. She was so surprised that she hurriedly swallowed it, and drank the juice of the peaches as if she were drinking water.
When the peach is put down, there is only one peach skin left.
Yang Yi said: "Eat this peach skin too." ”
Gu Caiyu took a few bites of the peach skin as she said, and found that the taste of the peach skin was unusually delicious, which was different from the juice just now.
After she finished eating the peach skin, she found that she had already followed Yang Yi out of the peach forest.
Looking ahead, the path under your feet continued to stretch, and a small pavilion appeared at the end of the path. In the pavilion, a man in white stood in the middle, holding a wine glass and looking at the two of them.
After seeing the two of them, the man in white in the pavilion raised his wine glass and saluted the two of them, and drank all the wine in the cup.
Gu Caiyu wiped her mouth and asked Yang Yi, "Third brother, is this person a drunkard?"
Yang Yi saw the man in white in the pavilion holding a glass of wine, and laughed: "You haven't reacted all the way, girl?"
Gu Caiyu asked, "What's the reaction?"
Yang Yi said with a smile: "Qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea, this is the good of Yashi, we have traveled all the way, first listening to people playing the piano, then the chessboard blocking the way, and there are scholars leaving words, and then there are poems and paintings that are difficult for people." It seems that the so-called seven levels and three dangers, the first seven levels, must be the seven disciplines of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea. ”
Gu Caiyu said: "So that's the case!"
She said to Yang Yi: "Third brother, these seven disciplines, any of them will take a lot of effort to achieve something, if it is an ordinary person, it will be difficult to pass the first level, they actually set up seven levels for you, this is a bit deceitful!"
Yang Yi shook his head and said: "This is a literary fight, and the test is an elegant thing, even if you lose, no one will laugh at you." Besides, as a Confucian, there are some things that I should really know. ”
He smiled at Gu Caiyu and said, "Wipe the corners of your mouth clean, and drink a few glasses of wine with me." ”
