Chapter 35: Get out of the way, I'm going to fool people
As he spoke, he had arrived at the Drunken Immortal Tower.
Yuan Tiangang looked up, and sure enough, there was a brand-new plaque hanging on the door beam, and at a glance, he knew that it was newly completed.
Xiao Er in the building saw two Taoist priests coming to the door, and hurriedly went out to greet him: "Two Taoist masters, but you are also here to pay homage to Zhang Zhenren's place of storytelling?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Without waiting for Yuan Tiangang to speak, Chen Laohan, who brought them here, said: "Little second brother, these two Taoist leaders are all admired from afar, don't rely on Zhang Zhenren to talk about books here for a few days, and bully customers." ”
The little second brother smiled all over his face, and made a gesture again and again: "Old man, you are joking, our Drunken Immortal Building pays attention to harmony, not to mention, after listening to Zhang Zhenren's book these days, even if we are for Zhang Zhenren, we can't embarrass Zhang Zhenren, right?"
"Like words, like words!" Chen Laohan clapped his hands and laughed.
Yuan Tiangang gave a salute and said: "Brother Chen, after talking about this way, I see that you are also tired, it just happens that it is not early now, why don't we go in and have two drinks?"
Chen Laohan waved his hand and said: "Excuse me, excuse me, old man, I look at the two Taoist masters, and I am afraid that someone will rely on the reputation of Zhang Zhenren to deceive the two." Now that the old man of the drunken immortal building has brought it, as long as the two of you go inside, learn more about Zhang Zhenren, no one in Huayuan County can deceive the two, and I will rest assured that the old man. ”
"Brother Chen really believes in people and is kind!" Yuan Tiangang stretched out his hand and cocked his thumb, and then said: "But brother, poor Dao has listened to my brother's preaching all the way, if you don't invite my brother to finish eating, my heart will inevitably be unhappy." What's more, there are still some things that the elder brother has not talked about, and the poor Dao still wants to ask the elder brother for more advice, and he also asks the elder brother not to refuse. ”
Old Han Chen was not polite, shook his head and waved his hand and said: "Daoist Yuan still don't want to say it again, the old man still has a wife and children at home, and when the old man goes back to eat, he can't accompany the Taoist." Moreover, when the two Taoist elders entered this drunken immortal building, I am afraid that they would not have time to deal with the old man. ”
"What does Brother Chen mean by this?" Yuan Tiangang looked puzzled.
Chen Laohan smiled and only said, "The two Taoist leaders will know when they go in, and they will know when they go in." Then he turned and took his leave.
Yuan Tiangang turned his head and glanced at his apprentice, his apprentice really didn't like to talk, he walked all the way, he didn't say a word, he just nodded at this time, he was unfamiliar, he didn't know what he wanted to express.
It wasn't until Xiao Er came forward to ask: "Two Taoist masters, would you like to go upstairs and sit down?" He turned to look at Yuan Tiangang again.
The corners of Yuan Tiangang's mouth twitched, and he took the lead to go inside, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw that it was full of friends, but there was no one who ate and talked about wine, but looked at the wall for a while, and lowered his head for a while to write, as if he was copying something.
Xiao Er whispered beside him at the right time: "Two Taoist masters, do you eat first, or do you copy the 'Yin Fu Sutra' first? If you eat first, the little one will go down to give you instructions; if you copy the scriptures first, the small one will also arrange a few cases for you, and the four treasures of the study." Dao Ye rest assured, anyone who comes to copy the scriptures left by Zhang Zhenren in the small shop will not be charged for pen and ink. ”
"What scriptures are you copying?" Li Chunfeng, who had not spoken, finally spoke.
These two people are the world-famous Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng's apprentices in the future, and this trip was originally Yuan Tiangang who took Li Chunfeng to observe the world's feng shui, and passed on Li Chunfeng's feng and feng shui skills. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, I heard in Tongguan County that there was a living immortal in Huayuan County, and I was curious, so I turned around.
When the little second brother heard this, he pointed to the wall, and said with reverence: "Two Taoist masters, look, this is the 'Yin Fu Sutra' left by Zhang Zhenren." The small ones don't know the text and ink, and they don't know the true meaning of the Yin Fu scriptures, but I heard the Taoist elders say that once this scripture comes out, except for the "Tao Te Ching" written by the Holy Ancestor Emperor, there will be no scriptures in the world!"
"Knowing or not" is the slang of Huayuan County, which means not knowing; the Holy Ancestor Emperor is Lao Tzu Li Er, Li Yuan ascended the throne and took Lao Tzu as his ancestor.
I am afraid that in the future, Li Zhi will chase Lao Tzu as "Emperor Taishang Xuanyuan", but also because the people call it too much, and set an orthodox title.
Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng looked along Xiao Er's point, and they didn't pay attention to the conversation before, but they saw that the wall on the east side was really densely covered with more than 20 lines of small characters.
"The way to view the sky, the trip to the sky, all the way. ”
"Therefore, there are five thieves in the sky, and those who see them are prosperous. ”
"The five thieves are in the heart, and they are executed in the sky. ”
"The universe cares about the hand, and everything is born in the body. ”
"People are also scheming by nature, and the way of heaven is to determine people. ”
"Heaven kills, the stars change to stay, the earth kills, the dragon and snake rise to land, people kill the machine, the heaven and the earth repeat, the heaven and man are combined, and the foundation is determined." ”
Unconsciously, both of them subconsciously read out loud.
Xiao Er stood beside him, not blocking or disturbing, and the people who copied the scriptures around him looked up and smiled slightly, as if they understood the performance of the two of them.
After a long time, Yuan Tiangang retracted his gaze, suddenly looked back, and said, "Chunfeng, what do you think?"
Li Chunfeng was awakened at this time, was silent for a long time, and said with a straight face: "This article, if it is not deeper than the Tao, it cannot be done!"
"Yes, those who are not deep in the Tao can't do ......it" Yuan Tiangang looked back at the scriptures again, muttering to himself, especially when he saw the opening cross, he couldn't help but secretly say: The way to view the sky, the way to hold the sky...... This alone is worth 10,000 articles!
......
Time flickered, and Zhong Kui finally woke up from his coma.
Because he was worried that Zhong Kui would really have any accidents, Sun Simiao did not return to Green Willow Lane in the afternoon, and Zhang Xuanqing also stayed next to Zhong Kui.
To be honest, although the head of his previous explanation was Dao, he really couldn't tell if Zhong Kui was okay.
Seeing that Zhong Kui finally woke up, he immediately said with a happy face: "Young Master Zhong, it's great that you can wake up." ”
Zhong Kui first covered himself, then his face twitched, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, he sat up, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, Dao Chief...... The 'alcohol' of the Taoist is really ...... Really...... Hehe...... "Although the initial pain has passed, he still feels a burning sensation coming from his back at this time.
Zhang Xuanqing coughed dryly: "No need to thank you...... There is no need to thank you...... "Just Liu Shenwei walked into the room with the boiled medicine, and said: "Uncle, Master estimates that Zhong Gongzi should wake up, let me ......" As he spoke, seeing that Zhong Kui had already sat up, he closed his mouth and stepped forward, put the medicine bowl on the table, and blinked: "Zhong Gongzi, you are awake, how do you feel?"
Zhong Kui was still in a cold sweat: "I feel much better...... Much better...... "It's really better, at least...... The pain is very clear, and I should not die...... Right?
Zhang Xuanqing took the opportunity to say: "Zhong Gongzi don't worry, the reason why you still feel pain now is because of the problems left over from alcohol...... Well, it's not a big deal, since Kamui is here, let Kamui take care of you. Shenwei, you look at the young man, don't let him make a big move, Uncle Shi, I'll go cook with you. After saying that, he quickly fled the room.
If he stays any longer, he will be embarrassed.
Liu Shenwei stiffened when he heard this: Uncle Shi can also cook? Why don't I know? Licking his lower lip, he shivered, but don't boil the herbs.
It turns out that Liu Shenwei's worries are superfluous, Zhang Xuanqing, as a liar who walks the rivers and lakes, has no one to take care of, if he can't even cook, he will simply starve to death.
When the sky was slightly dark, Zhang Xuanqing walked out with a table of stir-fried vegetables, and Liu Shenwei was almost shocked to drop his eyes.
At this time, although there was already stir-frying, most of them were in the hands of the big families, or the unique skills of big merchants and restaurants, which were basically the kind that were not passed on to men, but not to women. The reason why Zuixian Lou can be the first restaurant in Huayuan County is that it has mastered the unique skill of stir-frying.
However, at this time, although there are few stir-fried vegetables, there are many types of oil. In the late Northern Wei Dynasty, Jia Sixian's "Qi Min Yaoshu" mentioned that there are seven kinds of animal and vegetable oils, including hemp seed oil, sesame oil, Su seed oil, turnip seed oil, lard, butter and mutton fat. It's a pity that oil is very expensive, and ordinary people can only use it for lighting, and it is too luxurious to use it for stir-frying.
Although Jishitang is a medical hall and has a good reputation, to be honest, it doesn't make much money, and it can even be said to be very little.
Guy Sun Simiao generally does not charge money for the treatment of the poor, or only charges money for medicinal materials, and what is not given is enough to pay back.
I don't know if Sun Simiao is really compassionate and benevolent, or Sun Simiao is reluctant to give up those "guinea pigs" who gave him medicine.
In short, what Jishitang usually eats is only coarse tea and light rice, and the oil he buys is only used for lighting. And due to Liu Shenwei's craftsmanship, the dishes are only edible at most.
Seeing Zhang Xuanqing bring a table of stir-fried dishes that could only be eaten in the Zuixian Building, Liu Shenwei couldn't believe his eyes, and stumbled: "Master...... Uncle Shi, you kidnapped the cook of Zuixiang Building?"
"If you give it to eat, you will eat, what do you say!" Zhang Xuanqing glared at this kid fiercely, what is this called, is he that kind of person? But...... It seems like a solid idea.
At this time, Sun Simiao also ended the matter of the front hall medical hall, and couldn't help but praise when he saw this: "Brother Dao is really a pedantic celestial, he knows how to use medicine, he can cook, I don't know what else in this world Brother Dao can't do." ”
"Give birth to a child...... Zhang Xuanqing subconsciously replied.
Sun Simiao: "......"
Liu Shenwei: "......"
Zhong Kui: "......"
You're really not modest!
After eating, Sun Simiao arranged a room for Zhong Kui and asked him to stay in the hospital first, and wait for a few days when his injuries are almost healed, and then it is not too late to leave.
When night fell, the sky became darker, Liu Shenwei and Sun Simiao went back to the room to rest one after another, but Zhang Xuanqing followed behind Zhong Kui and arrived at Zhong Kui's room.
"Is there something wrong with the Taoist chief looking for Zhong?" Zhong Kui looked puzzled, not knowing what Zhang Xuanqing was doing with him.
Zhang Xuanqing looked outside, closed the door, touched his chin and groaned for a while, before he said: "Young Master Zhong, Poor Dao won't hide it from you, it is indeed Poor Dao who is not thoughtful at noon today, so this is ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhong Kui: "The Taoist chief doesn't have to blame himself, the Taoist chief is willing to save him, Zhong is too late to be grateful, how can he blame the Taoist chief?"
Zhang Xuanqing shook his head and waved his hand: "You don't have to comfort Poor Dao, Poor Dao came to you, and that's not what you want to say...... Let's put it this way, Poor Dao feels guilty because of the daytime, so I come to advise you not to enter Beijing this time. Otherwise...... I'm afraid that not only will it be difficult to pass the imperial examination, but I will also worry about my life!"
