Xu Weixiong was not surprised by Li Chungang's praise. He looked at Xu Fengnian and asked, "Is there any food on board? I was in a hurry to stop you on the road and delayed my lunch. You owe those people a meal." .”
Xu Fengnian nodded and said: "That's no problem, there are a lot of river fresh fish that have just been caught in the boat."
After finishing speaking, Qingniao went to order the cook and the cook to work. Xu Weixiong turned around and disembarked to bring the 20 or so Jixia Scholars onto the deck. These scholars, young and old, seemed a bit cautious, and only a few military scholars took the initiative to greet His Royal Highness. The grand occasion of family contention has long since disappeared. Nowadays, the empire is in its heyday, but many theories are hard to hide the decline of all horses. Only the Shangyin Academy is struggling to support it, sheltering the poor in the world, and leaving the seeds of study for future generations. Unfortunately, the Academy is a private school. In terms of financial resources, it is far more generous than the Guozijian, which has no gifts from emperors and ministers. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the school palace was funded by wealthy families. Therefore, except for the children of military families who have studied the wars of the past dynasties, most of Mr. Jishang and Bachelor Jixia have a natural dislike for the Xu family in Beiliang.
At lunch, Xu Fengnian and his second sister Xu Weixiong intentionally avoided the crowd and opened a small kitchen. Xu Fengnian gobbled it up, while Xu Weixiong chewed slowly. The two personalities were very different. Xu Fengnian knew that she didn’t like to talk when eating, so he opened the bookcase by himself. , Seeing several bags of soil, I squeezed it with my hand, sniffed it, frowned, put it in my mouth carefully, tasted it, and asked in shock: "This dragon sand was dug from the lung mountain, the blessed place of Taoism. ? It’s true Longsha, but the taste is not the same as what brother Yao Jian said. Why do you feel that the number of paths is a bit wrong?”
His Royal Highness, when he was young, often went to the Beiliang Mountains with his second sister and Long Shi Yao Jian to search for dragon acupuncture points. He was deeply impressed by what he had heard and saw. The ability to survive, but the basic identification of the trend of the dragon's veins is still so-so. Looking at how a dragon is born, changed, walked, opened a tent and crossed the gorge, and then flowed into the first acupuncture point, these can barely be recognized. Digging dragon sand is actually the same as digging winter bamboo shoots by farmers. The test is nothing more than experience and know-how. Xu Weixiong is a master of this way. There are six or seven bags of dragon sand in the box, most of which have been sealed and burned. Xu Fengnian picked up the bag he tasted and sealed it with three seals in Huangfudan, "Sanqing It is undeniable that it was written by the second sister Xu Weixiong, because the seal book is very particular, and the Danfu rules must match the birth date of the person who was unearthed. Unearthing a piece of dragon sand is by no means a trivial matter. No matter whether it is a Taoist dragon scholar or a green bag master geographer, one should not take dragon sand without authorization. A large number of documents allow it, but there has not been any precedent for it in the past twenty years. Xu Weixiong's move is undoubtedly against the court law, but Xu Fengnian is too lazy to care about such details, just curious that Feishan has been the crown of the cave to condense luck since ancient times , how to get out of the dragon? It should be known that in the ranking of Dongtianfudi, even Dao Ting Longhu Mountain is inferior to Difei Mountain by countless places, but Difei Mountain has been a deadly place for hundreds of years without any big real people practicing Taoism. It has been five hundred years since the dynasty closed the mountain.
Xu Weixiong put down his chopsticks, and sighed softly: "This trip to assess Jixia's academician's hopefulness is just a cover. Difei Mountain has recently seen an evil dragon, and Wang Jijiu deduced that it is related to Longhu Mountain, which is in the same lineage of Difei Mountain. It was only because of being suppressed by Tianshi Zhao Danping that Qin Tianjian did not attack the court."
Xu Fengnian's face was cloudy when he heard the words, he gritted his teeth and said: "It must be Zhao Huangchao's vicious method of stealing the sky to change the sky! Sister, if it is as I guessed, Qin Tianjian will not dare to take care of this matter!"
Xu Weixiong looked puzzled.
Xu Fengnian smiled, stood up and said, "Come on, sister, let me wash your hair for you, and talk while washing."
Xu Weixiong did not refuse, so Xu Fengnian asked the blue bird outside the door to bring a pot of hot water and a piece of jade soap. Poor people wash their hair with cheap and rough saponins, while rich and noble people pay more attention to the pearls that are ground in the soap. Xu Fengnian held the second sister's soft black hair, warm eyes, and said softly: "One night in Kuanglu Mountain, I was like a dream but not a dream. I saw my mother, and my mother came with a white python. , Bless my unlucky son. Zhao Huangchao, who looks like a middle-aged Taoist priest, said that he practiced in Longhu Mountain. In all likelihood, he is the old ancestor of the one in the capital. He acted lawlessly, saying that he wanted to do justice for the heavens. It happened that a few days ago in Daxueping, Huishan, a scholar named Xuanyuan Jingcheng entered the realm of Confucianism and sages. The Daoist Immortal in the book, condenses luck on his own, and should not easily come out of the world to interfere with the operation of the secular world. Zhao Huangchao's actions are somewhat unreasonable in Taoism. Otherwise, it would be tantamount to forming a bridge with Longhushan Tianshi Mansion, and the movement is too loud, which does not conform to his style of acting like a turtle. I don’t understand, we in Beiliang will definitely not be full. To rebel, what is Zhao Huangchao worried about?"
Xu Weixiong said calmly: "Of course I am worried that their Zhao family will not be able to survive forever."
Xu Fengnian sneered and said, "Which dynasty can be passed on for thousands of generations? They keep saying that the emperor is long live and the queen is thousand years old, but who really lives to be a thousand years old. Eat radish lightly and worry about it!"
Xu Fengnian said gloomyly: "With the realm of Taoist priests, if you don't fly, don't you just stand in the latrine and don't shit? That is, in Longhu Mountain, if you are in Beiliang, you have to pull ten thousand cavalry to grind this old bastard into powder. "
Xu Weixiong tilted his head, curled up the corner of his mouth, opened one eye and closed the other and smiled, "Toad yawns, what a big tone you have. Not to mention whether the Taoist in that day's realm can be killed, just say you are now Can you command 10,000 cavalry? Don’t say 10,000, just say 1,000, can you do it?”
After washing her hair, Xu Fengnian picked up the silk scarf and gently wiped Xu Weixiong's hair. The two sat down. His Royal Highness Shizi was a good person and helped her comb her hair. He was a rascal who was not ashamed but proud of the second sister's sarcasm. De Xing laughed and said: "Borrowing soldiers from heroes like Chen Zhibao Dianxiong, of course, is just asking for trouble, but there is Fatty Chu, it really can't be done, borrow from Brother Yuan Zuozong Yao."
Xu Weixiong asked with a half smile but not a smile: "Are you sure Yuan Zuozong and Yao Jian will borrow you? Are you afraid of Xu Xiao's military law? You must know that no matter how close we are in Beiliang, as long as we violate the military regulations, we must act according to the law. If you are killed, you will be killed, and you will be punished." punishment."
Xu Fengnian still didn't have a proper appearance, "Brother Yao has a temper that admits death, it's really hard to say, but Yuan Zuozong's words are really urgent. With a force of two thousand and two thousand, it might be worthwhile to spit on me. Borrow it."
Xu Weixiong asked: "Are you sure?"
Xu Fengnian nodded and said, "Sure."
Xu Weixiong took the red sandalwood comb, and said with a soft smile, "You and Yuan Zuozong had just drank a few times, and you thought that your friendship was so good? You must know that Yuan Zuozong's eyes are the worst. He and Chu Lushan are both Xu Xiao's adoptive sons. But the situation is like fire and water, so it can be seen that you, a dandy of a young boy, are confident that you can fall into Yuan Baixiong's eyes?"
Xu Fengnian curled his lips and said, "Believe it or not is up to you."
Xu Weixiong said ironically, "It's really disappointing that you didn't fight at Longhu Mountain."
Xu Fengnian shook his head and said: "The movement is not too small, by the way, Xuanyuan Jingcheng, who read a land fairy by reading, has some cultivation experience, which is not very useful to me at present, if you read it, it means you didn't read it, you can take it later. There is also a copy of "Moral Forbidden Thunder Curse" that I secretly picked up, and you should also use it to ponder over it. His mother's Xuanyuan Jingcheng attracted countless thunders from the sky on the snowy plain. That battle was nothing compared to being a general. It’s not as good as a few thousand cavalry. I have checked many Taoist Qi refining classics along the way, and I feel that none of them are as down-to-earth as this "Moral Forbidden Lightning Curse". The "Dongyuan Shenmantra" seems to be more mysterious, and it is not very practical. After half a month of research, I can't figure out how to curse mountains and landslides and curse water to boil. This lightning ban curse is really like According to the records in the book, if you have practiced to the extreme, you can use the celestial phenomena to unleash the power of the sky like Xuanyuan Jingcheng. It's a pity that I practice swords and I'm not on this road. Sister, you know everything anyway, so you should take this lightning banning curse? By the way, when I was studying the talisman with the old celestial master Zhao Xituan in Longhu Mountain, I checked it by the way. It seems that the refining of qi into a spell first came from the ancient barbarian land where the Shangyin Academy is located. I may not be sure. The academy will have the rare books you need, and according to the guidelines of the banning thunder curse, I will help you snatch a few secret books of the Ministry of Thunder from Longhu Mountain, which are probably some formulas to guide the heavenly generals of the Ministry of Thunder and their martial arts Originally, according to the old heavenly master, all the ascended real people in Longhushan would leave their essence formulas to appear in Longchi. Unfortunately, I have no ability to steal these treasures for you. Also, the female tiger Kui, nicknamed Bodhisattva, is called Bodhisattva. I have already given the King Kong one to Huang Maner, and the Bodhisattva will give it to you, otherwise you will be full of benevolence, righteousness and morality everywhere you go in that palace, it would be boring to think about it... "
His Highness Shizi rambled endlessly.
Xu Weixiong interrupted Xu Fengnian's thoughts, and said with a smile: "All the good things are given to me, what should you do?"
Xu Fengnian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and pointed to the two knives on his waist, and said as a matter of course: "I want those external things, what's the use of them, Chunlei Xiudong is enough."
Seeing that the second sister was silent, Xu Fengnian knew that she didn't like to practice swords and become a brave martial artist, so he changed the subject and asked: "I saw the famous Jixia scholar in Shangyin Academy today, so I know that there seem to be many poor people." ?”
Xu Weixiong smiled and said: "Scholars go on study trips, and rangers travel with swords. These are the two major trends nowadays. The former started when Old Master Zhang traveled around the world. It's just that those poor gentry who have obviously fallen into ruin, for the sake of face, still very He pays attention to traveling with heirs and crown princes, so he does not hesitate to make up for it. Think about it, if a weak scholar travels, it will be hundreds of miles at worst. There must be a book boy who takes care of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and a person who is familiar with the world. My old servant, these three people's expenses, can't the family of the small family rack their brains? So some of the gentry families who are already no different from the Han family, the so-called study abroad, dare not expect to travel thousands of miles, it is nothing more than Walk a few more counties in a state, try to visit as many famous scholars as possible, drink tea and discuss the Tao with them, that is to say, that is the end. Many families of scholars, in order to be able to enter the Shangyin Academy, did not hesitate to lose their family property. In my trip to Feishan this time, there was a Bachelor Jixia in the team who had stayed outside the academy for eighteen years before he passed the examination. He was already in his fifties. Most of them are younger than him, and in order to save money to buy more sage books, they only eat steamed buns and pickled vegetables all year round, so the Shangyin Academy is not as useless as you originally imagined. Talking about talent and learning, it’s not bad.”
Xu Weixiong stretched out his hands to pinch Xu Fengnian's cheeks, tugged, and said with a smile: "It seems that the two trips have benefited you a lot. I was wondering if I would advise you to go to Beimang again."
Xu Fengnian said dully: "Sister, do you really think so?"
Xu Weixiong increased his strength, and said: "Since you can't stop you from practicing swordsmanship, and it seems that you don't just develop a well-developed limbs, I can't just stop it. But let's make it clear in advance, since you want to practice swordsmanship, At worst, you have to train a land immortal, right? No one has done this for hundreds of years."
Xu Fengnian had a bitter face, and said vaguely: "Sister, why don't you become a sword fairy when you practice swords?"
Xu Weixiong let go of his hand, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "My sister is a woman, she is not a lady."
Xu Fengnian said helplessly: "Sister, you are really reasonable."
Xu Weixiong got up and said: "Let's go, since I've made up my mind not to stop you from practicing swordsmanship, so I won't stop you from going to Wudi City, just be careful yourself."
Xu Fengnian walked out of the cabin with his second sister, and there happened to be a poor old scholar leaning on a fence nearby looking at the river, muttering to himself: "My lost dog also has homesickness."
