Chapter 50 - The old scholar who has traveled thousands of miles
There was heavy rain outside the wine shop. The middle-aged man in armor asked his subordinates to move Liang Shu’s body on horseback, and returned to the Northern Army Mansion. The powerful captain in the Northern Army Mansion did not even Dare to ask about the origin of the old Confucian student. In comparison, it is better to explain to the Northern Army Mansion than to risk being killed by the old Confucian student.
Dozens of pawns left silently in the heavy rain, did not take anything, only lost Mr. Liang’s life and countless crossbow arrows.
In the wine shop, Li Fuyao and the old Confucian sat down and drank, chatting with each other about their parents. The old Confucian was a scholar. At first, he occasionally mentioned that those scholars knew that they would only taste the simple books. He was afraid that Li Fuyao was a monk who was not born in Confucianism. I don’t know anything, but after talking about it, I found out that this young man actually knew a lot, so I completely let go, chatting with him, and even commenting on an article written by a certain saint. Li Fuyao did it. The storyteller for many years, although he has never heard of that saint’s article, he has some understanding of the basic article context, so he is not regarded as listening to the heavenly book.
Finally, speaking of achievements in poetry, the scholar who has traveled through mountains and rivers for many years drank a sip, and then laughed: “Achievements in poetry, these scholars like to respect the past and degrade the present, and think that the poems written by the predecessors are enough. It has been passed down through the ages, so that future generations need to look up, but according to the old man, it is not that, now in this mountain and river, take the four saints as examples, each has a poem handed down, the sacrificial ceremony in the academy The Confucian saint with the third wooden statue in the main hall wrote countless articles before he became holy, and at least half of the articles circulating in the world are written by the saint before he has set foot on the road of spiritual practice. In terms of poems, these saints are not as good as the two.”
Li Fuyao listened with great gusto, and when he heard that the old scholar was about to sell him, he smiled and said, “The old gentleman is not allowed to say it halfway.”
The old Confucian student picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile: “The two people in the mountains and rivers are from Yanling Academy, but now they are not in the Yanling Academy. One of them wrote just one before. The article “Shang Li Yong”, because it contains “Dapeng rises with the same wind in one day, soaring upwards 90,000 miles.” Borrowing allusions from the Taoist classic “Xiaoyaoyou”, I wrote this kind of poem in the first school of Confucianism. He was squeezed out by his classmates in the academy. This young man didn’t even bother to join him back then. He left the academy angrily and traveled around the mountains and rivers. Now he doesn’t know where to go.”
“As for the second place, the end will be much more miserable. The scholar named Li Changgu is from Luoyang City. When he entered the palace, he let the whole academy look sideways. He has studied in the academy for many years. His talent is not low, and his realm has risen. Very quickly, I wrote a lot of poems, but after that I didn’t know why, so I suddenly turned to practice swordsmanship. Back then, I opened the gate of the school with a sword and left unhurriedly. But soon he was taken by the seniors of the school. Now it should be in Luoyang City.”
Speaking of sword practice, the old scholar looked at Li Fuyao, and with his eyesight, he naturally knew that this young man with a sword was actually a swordsman.
In the mountains and rivers, old Confucian scholars have seen a lot of things, not to mention Confucian monks, even Taoism and mountain spirits and wild monsters, in fact, have seen them, now seeing a swordsman again, what is it?
Therefore, he did not say anything, nor did he care.
The only thing that made him feel a little surprised was that he couldn’t see the details of the little girl who was sleeping soundly on the wooden table now, and didn’t know her cultivation level or genre.
According to the old scholar, this little girl in Tsing Yi must have some rather high-grade magical tools to cut off others’ auras, but possessing this kind of magical tools makes the old scholars feel that the origin of this little girl is more mysterious. .
The old Confucian student’s short-term absence was quickly interrupted by Li Fuyao, “Old sir, I haven’t finished talking yet.”
The old Confucian student laughed and said: “The first emperor Yanling mobilized 800,000 people to build a star-catching building, which was claimed to be used for offering sacrifices to the sky, but it was actually not true. This is clearly the Yanling Academy of Yanling Dynasty. A prison building was built to trap Li Changgu, so now Li Changgu is naturally still in this star picking building. After careful calculation, it has been almost 70 years now.”
Speaking of the Star Picking Tower, Li Fuyao couldn’t help but remember the scene he had seen outside Luoyang City before. He was silently wondering that when he was still in Luoyang City, the imperial court did not allow other people to wait near. It was because of this. Going on.
The old Confucian said a lot of things that didn’t touch the edge, and he really got interested, and he talked about why he wanted to stay here and no longer continue to travel the mountains and rivers. The reason was probably that the old Confucian who had seen too many scenery was unwilling to just Seeing the monks of the three religions, I went deep into the mountains and forests to see the few demon cultivators in the mountains and rivers. I just met the transformed middle-aged woman and a snake eagle that had transformed for many years fighting in the mountains. The snake eagle was originally the natural enemy of snakes, and the time for the middle-aged woman to transform into form was too late, so she was really not an opponent. There was no way she could only retreat out of the forest while defeating the snake. The eagle wanted to come only to get the nest of snake eggs that the middle-aged woman transformed into the first time, so he did not rush to kill them. In fact, even if it is a demon cultivation, it is rare to use a demon pill to improve his skills, except for a few wicked people. , So after the middle-aged woman quit the forest, she no longer thinks about catching up.
The middle-aged woman who was injured in her foundation came here to open a wine shop. She had no intention of attracting customers. Therefore, the wine flag and wine shop were deliberate. How did she meet old scholars who have traveled here? I’ve seen her fight with the snake eagle before. After I met again here, I didn’t even think about killing the demon. I just wanted to see if this woman was a wicked person, so he drank dozens of altars. If you don’t check out the wine, you just want to see this person’s reaction.
It was just an accident that he eventually developed to live here.
The old Confucian students always abide by the Confucian sages who have no kind of religion, and do not see whether they are humans or demons, Confucian monks or Taoist monks, but only look at good and evil.
Otherwise, Liang Shu would not die so simply.
After taking a sip of wine, the old scholar slapped his lips, “Since the kid surnamed Liang knows that there is a chance for this border, it seems that you, the treasurer, will not be too peaceful in the future.”
The middle-aged woman was annoyed and said: “It’s not you, don’t forget that you still give me so much money!”
The old Confucian student said as a rogue: “When have you ever seen such a yellow and white vulgar thing?”
The middle-aged woman smiled and said, “Then you, a scholar like you, want to fall back on the bill?”
The old Confucian said with a serious face: “When have you ever seen a scholar so shameless?”
The middle-aged woman pointed to the old scholar, knowing it clearly.
The old Confucian student was defeated, and said helplessly: “Well, the quarreling old man can’t tell you, and I don’t know what’s going on with your girl. A mouth is so sharp.”
After a moment of silence, the old scholar took out a seemingly ordinary brush from his arms. In fact, it appears to be half-bald from a closer look. He smiled and asked: “I will write a beautiful article. How about the money for wine? It’s definitely worth the price.”
The middle-aged woman didn’t even think about it, and said categorically, “No!”
She is not a fool. Since this place is no longer secret, there will naturally be more people looking for the door. She herself is a wounded body. It is hard to deal with a Liang Shu who has not yet set foot in the Green Silk Realm. When something more powerful came, what would she do? Naturally, she wanted to keep the old scholar. Not to mention other things, she would have to prevent several disasters, right?
The old scholar smiled without saying a word. Since he was rejected, he put his bald pen away and turned to look at Li Fuyao. At this point, he finally had to ask what he had accumulated for a long time.
“Go to that sword mountain?”
Li Fuyao was suddenly surprised.
“Your swordsman’s cultivation base of the first stage has nothing to cut off the old man’s aura. There is no way to see it. In fact, after you set foot on the third stage, all the auras in the meridian spirit house are transformed into sword aura. At that time, the sword energy will leak. Anyone who can see can see your details. After all, the swordsman among the mountains and rivers is the most disdainful to cover up. Even the spells are so straightforward, but you sword The soldiers seem to be too mixed, the one who taught you the sword practice didn’t even give you the sword. Oh, yes, most of your swordsmen are going to climb the sword mountain to get their swords. Going to Jianshan is to get the sword.”
The old Confucian student talked eloquently, as if he was very familiar with this swordsman.
Before Li Fuyao spoke, the old scholar sighed again: “You went a little bit late. The sword fairy was still at Jianshan a few days ago. If you were amazing enough on the way to the mountain, maybe the sword fairy would He has passed you a few methods, but now he has left Jianshan to go to the northern demon land, and he doesn’t know what to do. Is it possible that the sword immortal still wants to kill a great demon? The character of this guy, It’s really hard to figure out.”
Li Fuyao couldn’t bear it, and asked, “Why does the old man know so much?”
The old scholar took a sip of wine into his throat, and said with a smile: “Walk a lot and see a lot of scenery, so how difficult is it to know more?”
