"Look?" Li Panlong laughed loudly, stroked his beard and said disdainfully: "You can't even recognize a few characters, Lin Sanzi, why don't you go back and ask some teachers to teach you how to read and write, don't come out to make a fool of yourself. With you This kind of knowledge can actually talk about poetry and theory couplets, and Jinling won the first prize, which is really a big joke in the world."
All the great Confucian scholars in the holy square and the scholars and scholars around them all laughed, looking at Lin Wanrong with contempt in their eyes.
"What the hell is he doing?" Xu Zhiqing glanced at Lin Wanrong, not daring to distract him, so she could only whisper to Miss Xiao, with a hint of worry in her tone.
"It doesn't matter!" Xiao Qingxuan shook his head and smiled: "Hasn't my sister seen his ability? From Jinling to the capital, he is the only one who refutes other people's affairs in the world. Few people can match him. The dead are alive, black To put it bluntly, this is my husband's housekeeping skill, and no one can learn it."
Xu Zhiqing chuckled, remembering Lin San's eloquent argument at the flower viewing party that day, and the strange experience of finding silver in Shandong. With his ability, there is really nothing in the world that can stump him. Miss Xu's heart was much more relaxed, she stomped her little foot unconsciously, and said angrily: "This dead man just makes some stunts to fool others every day, but he doesn't know how much others have worried about him."
"Really? My sister is also worried about him? My husband has made a good friend." Xiao Qingxuan smiled slightly, as beautiful as a fairy.
Xu Zhiqing's face was reddish, seeing that Miss Xiao was silent and her expression was flat, and she didn't know what she heard, so she felt uneasy and dared not speak.
Seeing everyone laughing, Lin Wanrong didn't mind, he laughed and said: "It's okay, if I really admit my mistake, then it's okay to ask another teacher to teach me. But, if Brother Li, you admit your mistake, so what?"
This is simply an insult to Li Panlong's wisdom, and everyone in the holy square listened impatiently. Several young scholars booed and said: "Mr. Li is famous for his excellent calligraphy and painting. He once painted on the West Lake for seven days and nights. His writing was full of smoke and waves. It has been passed down as a good story through the ages. Even the emperor is proud of his calligraphy and painting. Misunderstanding? Lin San, let go of Junior Sister Xiao quickly, and I will spare you." Li Panlong glanced at the scholars approvingly, stroked his beard and smiled, his face bright.
Continuous painting for seven days and nights? If it's love, I can think about it, but painting is out of the question. Lin Wanrong laughed and clasped his fists twice and said, "It turns out that brother Li is so strong, and the younger brother admires it. But, as the saying goes, people make mistakes, and horses make mistakes. If he accidentally misreads the words, it's not a bad idea." .”
"It's nonsense." Li Panlong flicked his sleeves and said angrily, "Those three words are so simple that even a three-year-old Huangkou child can recognize them. How can I admit my mistake. Lin San, I will make a bet with you."
"Bet? I'm not very good at it." Lin Wanrong smiled shyly, "Are you going to throw dice, play Pai Gow, or compare big and small?"
Li Panlong said disdainfully: "The love of young people in the world is extremely vulgar. How can Li play with those things. I bet you today that you can read the three characters that the Taizu personally inscribed. If you make a mistake, you will Respectfully bow down to my holy place and be punished by my holy place."
"Then what if you are wrong?" Lin Wanrong didn't mind at all, and said with a smile.
"Hahahaha—" Li Panlong looked up to the sky with a long smile, and proudly said: "Mr. Li has written inscriptions and painted all his life, and he has never read or misunderstood a word. If I am wrong, then I will bow to you three times and nine times, I beg you Lin San is the teacher."
The surrounding scholars were startled, and said in unison: "Master, no."
Li Panlong shook his hand, and snorted angrily: "Don't worry about me, this old man can read at the age of three, and he has never missed it. Today I want to see what Lin San is capable of."
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Lin Wanrong shook his head and said, "This is not very good. I am still young and have no son, so how can I accept an apprentice? Why don't you worship me as the eldest brother, and I will accept you as the younger brother?" Well, alas, it is so rare to see a humble person like me these days."
"Hugh speaks nonsense. With your ability, you are no match for our mentor." Seeing Lin San's brazenness, Li Panlong's disciples couldn't stand it anymore, and they all cut off Lin Wanrong's words to cheer up their mentor.
Li Panlong's face turned red, and he said loudly: "It's useless to talk too much. The inscription of the Emperor Taizu is here, and you can know it as soon as you recognize it. Everyone present is a well-educated person, and no one can fake it. Lin San, do you have any objections?"
Everyone in the field held their breath, waiting for Lin San's answer. Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "It's a good thing to read and read. How can I have any objections? The words written by Emperor Taizu are very clear, just find someone to come up with it."
"Then you agreed?" Li Panlong sneered and said, "That's good. Today is a competition in my holy square. In order to prevent you from losing and gossiping, I will let you randomly pick a person to come out and recognize these three words." , let you be convinced."
"Choose at random?" Lin Wanrong glanced around, pointed to a 14-year-old scholar, and said with a smile, "Little brother, do you know how to read? What, your master is Li Panlong? Then you, I will I chose you."
The little scholar looked at Li Panlong in embarrassment, Li Panlong snorted and said: "Lin San, you are so brave, you dare to pick on my disciples."
"Who can read it?" Lin Wanrong said with a grin: "Brother Li, you also said that these words are so simple that even a three-year-old child can recognize them. Naturally, if you think about it, your disciple will not admit it wrong. Little brother, Come over and take a good look, but don’t get me wrong, I’m still waiting at the foot of the mountain with an army of tens of thousands and ten cannons. It's none of my business."
When everyone heard that there was a large army of artillery at the foot of the mountain, they were startled. The little scholar looked at his mentor in fear, and Li Panlong snorted, "Yu Yonglian, don't be afraid, just admit it boldly, everything is worthwhile." The master decides for you."
The little scholar named Yu Yonglian cupped his fists to salute, and the more people came out, he walked forward slowly. Everyone held their breath, their eyes focused on Lin San and Li Panlong, the field was quiet, and even the sound of a needle falling could be heard clearly.
The two boys who brought the scroll straightened the scroll and stood it in front of everyone. Although everyone was far away, they could clearly see the three big characters flying like dragons and phoenixes, which were exactly the three big characters "Align with the sky".
Xu Zhiqing was startled, and even Xiao Qingxuan gasped in surprise, his face full of puzzlement. "Yade Xianfang", the crowd had already clapped their hands and cheered, and Li Panlong stroked his beard and smiled. He said proudly, "Lin San, the winner has already been decided, what else do you have to say?"
"The winner has been decided?" Lin Wanrong wondered, "Brother Li, where did you start talking? This little brother hasn't approached or spoken yet. Where did the winner come from?"
Li Panlong thought he had won the game, so he didn't care about it, he snorted and said: "Yong Lian, then you should quickly recognize it, don't keep all uncles and brothers waiting."
Yu Yonglian hastily responded. Just about to approach, Lin Wanrong grabbed him and said with a smile: "Little brother, how old are you this year? How many years have you been able to read and write?"
Yu Yonglian said: "Xiaosheng is fifteen this year, and he has followed his mentor since he was eight years old, and it has been more than seven years."
Lin Wanrong nodded and said: "Fifteen years old, that's not too young, you have to read these three words carefully. Don't miss a little bit, and don't miss it. Otherwise, it will be spread. Get out, and your whole life will be ruined."
Yu Yonglian nodded again and again when he heard it, and approached the handwriting written by the emperor Taizu, carefully watching it, not missing a single bit. At the beginning, his complexion was quite normal, but when he saw the word "Heaven", he took a closer look, and his complexion gradually changed. Beads of sweat rolled down from his forehead. Standing there, his legs were like sifting chaff. trembling.
Li Panlong waited impatiently, and said loudly: "Yong Lian, have you seen it clearly, if you understand it, then tell all uncles and brothers loudly."
"Teacher, disciple, disciple see clearly—" Yu Yonglian's face was pale, his voice was trembling and he dared not speak.
Li Panlong frowned, and snorted: "Since you can see clearly, then speak quickly."
Lin Wanrong smiled coldly, and continued: "Little brother, this is a sacred object of Emperor Taizu. Everyone can see it. You can't... edit it casually, otherwise you will lose your head. You have to tell the truth."
Yu Yonglian sweated profusely, tremblingly said: "And-and-and-"
Li Panlong hurriedly said: "What? Read it out quickly!"
Yu Yonglian's knees softened, he knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed continuously: "Men, my disciple dare not recite, my disciple dare not recite!"
The Confucianists in the "Yade Fairy" were all shocked, and the disciples couldn't help making a noise. Li Panlong's face changed drastically, and he said angrily: "What did you say? Why don't you dare to read it?! He has been a teacher for more than ten years. Years of teaching, have you learned it in vain?"
Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Brother Li, this little brother is doing it for your own good. If he reads these three words straight, you will be defeated today."
"It's nonsense. How did the old man fail?" Li Panlong said angrily.
Lin Wanrong laughed loudly, pointed to the two little boys and said, "Put this calligraphy and painting closer so that all the great Confucian scholars can see clearly." It falls on the word "Heaven" in the middle. I don't know if I don't look at it, I was shocked when I saw it, there was a faint ink mark on the original "Tian" character, although it was only a little bit, it was not clear from a distance, but it was a genuine "Husband" character. [Paradise Kiss Hand Slap]
All the Confucian scholars turned pale, and the disciples of Shengfang were even more stunned. They could hardly believe what they saw before them. The inscription of the emperor who had been passed down for thousands of years had changed in an instant. Li Panlong opened his eyes wide as if struck by lightning, and murmured: "Impossible, this is impossible—" He pointed at Lin San and said, "It's you, it's your hands and feet—"
"I do tricks?" Lin Wanrong laughed loudly and said: "Brother Li, with your excellent skills in calligraphy and painting, can't you see that when the emperor made the inscription, there was a little more on the sky? Masters, please take a good look."
Everyone looked around, and sure enough, as Lin San said, when the Emperor Shengzu wrote the inscription, the "sky" in the middle protruded a little, but the handwriting was shallow, and everyone didn't care, thinking that the Emperor Shengzu didn't know it for a while. Be careful what you do, who dares to brush against the tiger's beard? It's just that today coincides with the spring rain, the paper is damp, and the raised point can be seen more clearly.
"This, this—" Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to say another word.
Lin Wanrong sneered and said: "What a 'Yade Fairy', the emperor's inscription is clearly 'with your husband', calling on you to put down your airs and learn from everyone in the world, but you dare to pretend to be like the world. The common people are worthless, claiming to be 'equal to the sky'. This kind of behavior of deceiving the emperor is abominable, and the crime can be punished."
For hundreds of years, "Yade Fairy" has boasted of the inscription "Let's be with the sky" inscribed by the emperor, and this slogan has long been a pillar of their pride. Unexpectedly, Lin San's words today turned the world upside down, from Qi Tian to Qi Min, the difference is so big. Although the Holy Square is full of great scholars of great learning, facing this shocking change, they can't think of any countermeasures.
Do you really want to bow down to this yellow-mouthed child? Li Panlong, who was still eloquent before, had a sallow complexion, his lips pursed a few times, and his expression was gloomy.
Lin Wanrong smiled and was about to speak when Xiao Qingxuan tugged at his shirt. He said softly: "You have to be forgiving and forgiving. I was taught by Shengfang since I was a child, and there is no end to fate. You don't want to make things difficult for the gentlemen here, so we went down the mountain."
Lin Wanrong spread his hands and said innocently: "You have also seen that they are the ones who embarrass me, why am I embarrassing them? But since my wife has spoken, I will let them go. I was going to bomb the Holy Mountain , Alas, I don’t know when and what month I will get my wish?”
Xiao Qingxuan smiled softly, and rolled his eyes at him. Xu Zhiqing was puzzled and said, "Lin San, is the inscription of the Holy Patriarch Emperor really the same as your husband?"
A small trap, so smart and intelligent Ms. Xu can't tell the truth from the fake. Lin Wanrong smiled, looked around, and said mysteriously: "This Emperor Shengzu is smart. The word Tian is not like the word Tian, and the word husband is not. Who knows what it is like the husband character, it is estimated that it is specially reserved for future generations to guess. I just got the light of the rain and fulfilled the wish of this old gentleman many years ago."
Miss Xu let out a long sigh, and snorted: "It turns out that you really did something wrong. The masters of this holy square are against you. It's really unlucky."
Lin Wanrong laughed a few times, grabbed Qingxuan and was about to go down the mountain, when he heard a light sound in the distance, which seemed to be the sound of knocking on a wooden fish. The sound became more and more urgent, hitting people's hearts like drums.
"Who is this? I have nothing to do during the day to play with wooden fish." Lin Wanrong said with a smile
Xiao Qingxuan's delicate body trembled slightly, and she shook her head and smiled wryly: "This is the master calling me, Lin Lang, hold me tight."
Homeowner? Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, seeing Qingxuan's delicate body trembling non-stop, he hugged her tightly and said in shock, "Qingxuan, Qingxuan, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Qingxuan leaned against his arms weakly, his face was as pale as paper, tears rolled down, and he murmured: "Lin Lang, I will walk this journey with you today, even if I die, I will rest in peace. Only we can't stay My child, I betrayed you, hold me tight, hurry up and hold me tight!"
The wooden fish beat more and more urgently, Xiao Qingxuan trembled all over his body, seemed to have lost all his strength, tears fell like rain, his face was as pale as paper, he hugged Lin Wanrong's waist tightly, desperately trying to melt his body into his arms .
Lin Wanrong was terrified, hugged her body tightly, and said anxiously: "Qingxuan, Qingxuan, what's wrong with you, don't scare me—"
Xiao Qingxuan's beautiful face burst into a flash of brilliance, and he murmured: "Three drums, I am not afraid! I will live and die with Lin Lang, Lin Lang, Lin Lang, take me away!"
"Three drums?" Xu Zhiqing muttered to herself, a trace of surprise flashed across her face.
Lin Wanrong yelled loudly, hugged Xiao Qingxuan's weak and boneless body, and rushed down the mountain. The sound of the wooden fish seemed to know his whereabouts. Xiao Qingxuan, who was snuggling in Lin Wanrong's arms, became weaker and weaker. A faint brilliance shone from his beautiful eyes, and his body gradually softened.
Feeling the coolness coming from Qingxuan's body, life seems to be slowly disappearing from Xiao Qingxuan's body, the corners of Lin Wanrong's eyes are cracked, and the blood in his body seems to be burning, "Ah—" He suddenly stopped, and let out a long roar , took out the musket in his arms, there was a "pound" gunshot, and bursts of gunpowder smoke rose up, Lin Wanrong was full of murderous looks: "Du Xiuyuan, fire, fire!"
Du Xiuyuan at the foot of the mountain heard a gunpowder gun on the mountain. This unique signal was exactly what General Lin had explained before he left. He hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth, waved the small flag, and said loudly: "Fire the gun—"
The eight divine machine cannons spewed out hot flames together, and several shells came at a high speed, and were blasting on the cliff in front of the gate of Shengfang, setting off a burst of violent dust and smoke. The great Confucians who were originally calm immediately turned pale with fright, and panicked with their disciples.
The sound of the cannon sounded, and the harsh sound of the wooden fish stopped. Lin Wanrong gently stroked Xiao Qingxuan's cheek, and said softly: "Qingxuan, don't be afraid, as long as I'm here, no one will dare to touch your hair. You Listen, it’s the sound of cannons. I’m going to smash this fairy house to pieces, and whoever dares to harm you, I’ll ask her to repay you ten times and a hundred times.”
Xiao Qingxuan's body gradually warmed up, two big teardrops slipped from his cheeks, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, he slowly opened his eyes, and softly called "Lin Lang", the tears fell like raindrops.
Xu Zhiqing sighed, and said softly: "If you want to save Miss Xu's life, then don't take her down the mountain."
"What do you mean?" Lin Wanrong asked in surprise.
Xu Zhiqing didn't answer him. Glancing at Xiao Qingxuan, he asked in a low voice, "Miss Xiao, the three-pass drum you mentioned just now. Is it the method used by the Tibetan Living Buddha to find the reincarnated soul boy?"
Xiao Qingxuan nodded and sighed softly: "Sister Xu really has a lot of knowledge and memorization, and she even knows the three-way drum."
Lin Wanrong's head got dizzy when he heard that, so he hurriedly grabbed Xu Zhiqing and said, "Miss Xu, what are the three-tone drums and four-tone drums? What do you mean?"
Xiao Qingxuan pulled him back and said softly: "Lin Lang..., let me tell you. I had a rough life in my childhood, entered this holy place, and was selected by the owner as the successor of the next generation of the holy place. The successive owners of the holy place, You must cultivate your morality, lead your hair to practice, and you must not have human desires, if you don't come today, I will be the next head of this holy square tomorrow."
Lin Wanrong was horrified when she heard that, and held her hand tightly and said, "Qingxuan, how is this possible? Didn't you promise me to meet at the Jade Buddha Temple on the seventh day of July? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Xiao Qingxuan shook his head in tears and said: "It wasn't because I changed my mind suddenly, it was only because I had your blood that the world suddenly changed. Originally, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival was the day when the head of the hospital abdicated and I would have a date with you. It's just that The host saw that I was pregnant, so she forced me to abort the baby, but I refused to do so, so she suggested a compromise, let me inherit the mantle tomorrow, and give birth to our baby in the name of retreat, and I will never see you again. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month this year, I have not waited for you. Today, above the Golden Palace, was originally the last face of you and me—”
Xiao Qingxuan burst into tears, choked with sobs and couldn't continue, Lin Wanrong was covered in cold sweat, unexpectedly there were so many twists and turns in the process, if she didn't come today, Qingxuan would have become a sister-in-law.
He hurriedly took Qingxuan's little hand, and comforted him: "My wife, don't be afraid, I won't let people bully you when I come. I'll bombard this Holy Square today, and see who else will force you. Tell me quickly What happened to the tee drum?"
Xiao Qingxuan sighed: "These three-tone drums are taken from Tibetan Buddhist scriptures, and they are specially used for enlightenment. They are secret biography of the master of Shengfang, and they are used to select successors. When I was young, the master recited by my side every day. Once I repeat it, it seems that there is a magic spell trapped in my mind. If I recite the three links a day, my mind will fail and I will go deep into meditation and never wake up, so it is called the three links drum."
Lin Wanrong was covered in cold sweat. The so-called three-pass drum turned out to be an evil hypnotism. I have already read it once. If there are two more passages, Qingxuan and I will be separated forever.
Xiao Qingxuan smiled softly and said: "Since I married Lin Lang, we will promise each other life and death. Shengfang will no longer be my long-term residence. I broke the promise of the past, and Qingxuan made mistakes first. With these three drums, I will live forever." So what if you suffer? Lin Lang, you will definitely support Qingxuan, won't you?"
Can this also be supported? Lin Wanrong felt bitter in his heart, took Xiao Qingxuan's small hand, and said softly: "We are not afraid of three-way drums and four-way drums. I will blow up this holy square today and see how she plays drums again."
"Boom my Holy Square?" A woman's voice sounded in the ears of the three, with a cold majesty: "Is it up to you?"
"See the master!" The disciples of Shengfang who were running in the distance, as if they had a backbone, respectfully clasped their fists and bowed to each other when they heard this voice. Even Shen Shitian and Li Panlong also saluted respectfully.
Xiao Qingxuan held Lin Wanrong's hand tightly, with an unusually beautiful smile on his face: "Lin Lang, this is our last test. In this life and the next life, we will be husband and wife, and we will never be separated!!!"
