Tianhu Mountain was originally a famous Fangwai Holy Land in Shanxi.
On this mountain, far away, there have been two generations of heavenly masters. One generation was canonized as a national master by the contemporary emperor of Jin. The other generation was regarded as a guest of the family by the head of a contemporary famous family, and even Let your children worship him as their Taoist father.
Nearby,
The prince who had been in charge of the Imperial Palace of Yan State for nearly thirty years also walked down this mountain.
Originally, Tianhu Mountain was full of incense, especially during festivals and festivals, when there was an endless stream of believers and tourists who came to the mountain to worship.
Zhou Bian always remembered the grand occasion of Tianhu Mountain, because his family lived at the foot of Tianhu Mountain. Later, he took out his family wealth and borrowed some debts to buy a building under Tianhu Mountain. Bistro.
There is a small town at the foot of Tianhu Mountain. Of course, it is not very big, much smaller than ordinary villages.
There are less than twenty shops, including inns, wine shops, teahouses, and incense and candle sellers. These are serious shops, and they all have to be rented from Tianhu Mountain to do business.
During those festivals, there will inevitably be a lot of pilgrims, which will naturally attract many vendors to take the opportunity to do some small business. Tianhu Mountain will have a dedicated group of disciples at the foot of the mountain to be responsible for registration, and they all have to pay One tap.
Zhou Bian used to be a small vendor and often came to Tianhu Mountain to set up stalls. Every time he was charged for stall fees, he would curse in his heart that these people from outside the country were so greedy for money;
p>When he finally secured a wine shop and encountered the influx of other vendors during the festival, he would hate those people from outside the country for not charging more money to those vendors and letting those selling food for free. Small vendors took away their own business.
However, the good times did not last long. On that day, the Marquis went up to the mountain, and the princes in the palace retreated. A fire broke out on Tianhu Mountain, and the ancestral palace was burned to the ground.
It is true that if the mountain is not high, there will be immortals and spirits. Without the people of Tianhu Mountain on the mountain, this place will really become the foot of the mountain.
Not only will the small vendors no longer come to grab business, but the shops next to him have long since stopped working, but Zhou Bian still lives here with his wife and son.
Because in order to buy this wine shop, his original house had been sold. If he did not stay here, his family of three would not even have a place to stay.
The business is just making do, and I don’t deliberately buy any fresh vegetables. Basically, I just sell what I eat, and it’s wine, because I can save it, and there is a lot of it. If the previous ones are not sold out, you can continue to sell them.
Every once in a while, Zhou Bian would take his wife to visit the terraced fields on the mountain. With the ancestral court of Tianhu Mountain gone, the fields that once belonged to Tianhu Mountain were also deserted.
Zhou Bian grows some things that no one collects or cares about, but he can also add some food to his family.
In addition, the shop fee was originally supposed to be renewed this year, and naturally no one came to collect it. Thinking about it this way, it’s good. Originally it was just a shop, but now at least it has been paid.Get a house.
Today, Zhou Bian originally planned to visit the terraced fields on the mountain again, but in the early morning, two groups of guests came.
The first group of guests were a scholar, a heroine and a monk.
Easy to recognize,
Because a scholar looks like a scholar at a glance, a heroine looks like a heroine at a glance, and a monk looks like a monk at a glance.
They ordered three bowls of pimple soup. This was supposed to be lunch for Zhou Bian’s family of three, but why not sell it?
This second group of guests are a drunkard and a bookkeeper.
The drunkard’s face was red all morning, and as soon as he sat down, he shouted for Zhou Bian to get some wine.
The accounting clerk carried an abacus with him and put it aside. Instead of asking for food, he took out pancakes from his bag and asked Zhou Bian for a bowl of noodle soup to soak in and eat.
During this period, Zhou Bian’s wife brought a small jar of wine to the table.
The drunkard didn’t know whether he had drunk too much or was just his nature. He pointed at Zhou Bian’s wife’s buttocks and said:
“Guigui, you are here in the wilderness. You open a shop with no business, and your mother-in-law can still follow you, tsk tsk."
Businessmen can't just get angry casually. Zhou Bian's wife directly glared at the drunkard and cursed: < /p>
"Shut your dog mouth and drink your horse urine."
The scolding is a scolding,
But there is a sense of style in the scolding,
p>
People don’t feel angry.
After his wife went to take care of the child,
Zhou Bi laughed and said:
"My name only has one word, whip, there is nothing I can do. God rewards me with food, but the job below is big. My father always called me:
Donkey, donkey.
Later, when I wanted to change my name as a child, Just make the decision yourself and get a whip."
Hearing this, the drunkard laughed loudly and said:
"Yes, yes, I believe it. , I believe it, I won’t compete with you, I won’t compete with you.”
“Would you like something more to drink with?” Zhou Bi asked with a smile.
"Let's make do with it." The drunkard also knew that there was nothing good to get in this wine shop.
"You wait."
Zhou Bian went to the kitchen, mixed some wild vegetables himself, and picked out two salted duck eggs that were originally prepared for his son. When he came out of the kitchen, he stopped and said to his mother-in-law:
"Daughter-in-law, steam some more rice and scrape that piece of bacon."
"What's up? , Another visitor?"
"No, but when business is not going well, there will be no one at all, but if they come, there will be more after him."
p>"Got it."
Zhou Bian went out with cold dishes and salted duck eggs, and immediately saw three people getting out of a carriage.
The person walking at the front was dressed in white and holding a handful wrapped in cloth.The object that stood up;
Behind it, followed by a man and a woman, both men and women were very young.
The man is wearing a black silk suit with a fishing pendant hanging around his waist. The woman is wearing a long purple skirt and a plum blossom hairpin on her head. She has a round figure and a charming face.
"Hey, you three gentlemen, what do you want to eat?"
The drunkard immediately laughed and scolded:
"You ask me what to eat, you are a shabby shop. What else is there? Just buy whatever you have. Anyway, I just want to spend time in the Five Zang Temple. Oh, the wine here is still good. The wine in the Miaozhuang wine shop in Litian City is better than the wine in Litian City. It’s a bit much, but after all, it’s not bad at the foot of this barren mountain.”
“No, what we sell is not more expensive than the restaurants in Litian City, and the water we drink is just that. I thought it was because I was sweating hard on the way back by pushing the car alone."
Zhou Bian is a flexible person.
"Hahaha, you kid."
The drunkard picked up the wild vegetables with chopsticks and put them into his mouth. They were crisp and refreshing. He nodded and said:
" This dish is not bad."
"No, the wild vegetables at the foot of Tianhu Mountain are also full of spiritual energy."
At this moment, the first batch came. The scholar man among the guests said:
"Where does the spiritual energy come from on Tianhu Mountain now? I think it is a ghostly energy."
The drunkard heard this, "Haha" he said twice and took a sip of wine.
Zhou Bian walked to the new guests. At this time, the three guests had already sat down.
"Sir, we don't have much food in this small shop. How about three bowls of lard rice? And a few side dishes? The conditions of this small shop are simple. I really don't want to go."
Uncle Zheng, who was dressed in casual clothes, nodded with a smile and said:
"You can figure it out."
"Okay, sir, please wait."
Zhou Bian went to the kitchen again.
At this time,
the drunkard’s eyes fell on the sword wrapped in cloth beside the sword master, and he couldn’t help but said:
" Oh, what a wonderful thing, you are willing to wrap it with such good materials."
The sword master ignored him and sat there, closing his eyes and concentrating.
The scholar who had spoken out before stood up, walked over, and said:
"It seems that there should be a sword wrapped inside, right? Miss Ding, he Like you, I am also a swordsman. Since it is wrapped with such exquisite things, it is probably a good sword. Can you lend it a light so that we can open our eyes and appreciate it? ”
< p>The Juggernaut still ignored him.The sword is wrapped in cloth because it is called Long Yuan.
Seeing that the sword master ignored him, the scholar frowned slightly, and his tone suddenly became much harsher, saying:
"My little sister is also a sword lover, please sit down. Give me some face.”
“Yo yo yo, face, face, out in the wilderness, how much money is it worth?Besides, you don’t have a sign hanging around your neck. Who knows how much you can weigh in terms of face? "
The drunkard picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip.
Then he wiped his mouth and said:
"The young man , there are three noble people at this table. The young man in black clothes has both physical and spiritual appearance. There is a touch of nobility surrounding him, and he is definitely not an ordinary person. "
The scholar smiled,
and said:
"Is it possible that I can't see it? ”
The clothes on these three people are nothing vulgar.
People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. In this era, what clothes are worn can clearly reflect That person’s status level.
“Oh, you only know one thing but not the other. This young man in black not only has nobility, but also a carefree and easy-going spirit, even if he enters the house. In this shabby wine shop, even if you sit on this dirty stool, you feel comfortable.
When it enters the sea, it turns into a dragon; when it enters the stream, it turns into a fish.
Either, he comes from an extremely wealthy family, nourished by nobility, and cannot get angry;
Or, he has achieved a high position by working hard by himself.
You can't afford to offend the former; the latter, haha, you can't afford to offend someone with ability more than someone with family background. "
"Hahahaha. "
The scholar laughed loudly when he heard this,
said:
"You are so strange, I just want to see a sword, that's not what I'm asking. Why, you are a fortune teller, why do you have to make so many twists and turns for me?
What a coincidence,
The little master accompanying me is also proficient in the art of reading fortune tellers. He didn’t say anything about you being here for so long. "
The drunkard shook his head,
said:
"This young master is wise, but how can I put it, how can he read faces? Did you really learn it by meditating and chanting sutras in the temple? Isn’t it obvious by looking at people?
Look at the human form, observe its energy, and then look at the whole body. In addition, after living in the world for half a year, I have seen a lot of everyone and experienced a lot of things before I dare to say that I am a master of fortune telling. There is something involved;
The rest is laughable. "
When the monk who was eating pimple soup heard this, he immediately stood up, faced the drunkard, clasped his hands and said:
"Amitabha, poor monk, I have received my teaching. "
The scholar was a little reluctant and continued to ask:
"Then tell me, why do you think I can't afford to offend you? Why do you think I can't see this sword? "
The drunkard pointed at the heroine sitting over there,
smiled;
"With the beauty beside me, my heart is anxious and anxious. , you need to know that real arowanas and shrimps do not show their power, and Kunpeng fish sparrows do not spread their wings;
Just take a look,
Your words are rude and disturbing. Life is boring,
Has that gentleman in white ever had anyexpress?
The young man in black still had a smile on his face. ”
“Hehehe. ”
Uncle Zheng was really amused. At this time, Zhou Bian sent the teapot and tea bowl first, apologized and went back to the kitchen to work.
Xiong Liqing poured a bowl of water for Uncle Zheng.
Uncle Zheng picked up the tea bowl and bowed to the drunkard.
" Ouch. "
The drunkard stood up in a panic, holding the wine bowl in both hands, hunched over, smiling, and said:
"Please, please. ”
Uncle Zheng took a small sip and put down the tea bowl.
The drunkard drank the bowl of wine in one gulp, with the mouth of the bowl facing down, indicating that he would not leave a drop. Then he took his seat again.
At this time,
the heroine unconsciously cast her eyes on Uncle Zheng, and then on Xiong Liqing.
Xiong Liqing is not that kind of stunning beauty, but she has a good temperament. This kind of temperament makes the heroine feel slightly unhappy, because at this point, she feels that she is completely outclassed.
The scholar shook his head and said:
"Now that we are out of the house, we cannot judge by family status. I really want to see this sword today. "
The drunkard touched his beard and said:
"I can't see it, I can't see it. Some people live by their family status, which is their only support. When they open their mouths, they are their ancestors. When they shut up, they are their fathers.
Some people become more comfortable and carefree after leaving the family.
Some people think that the same family status is a door panel, while others think it is a prison.
There are chickens and dolphins behind the door, and there are tigers in the prison. "
"Hey, you drunk guy, you just talk about him, why don't you talk about me? "
"You, well, I can't see it. "
"If you can't see it, why do you think I can't see it? "
"Okay, then let me tell you more about it. The beauty next to the young master in black has her hair styled in the Yunliu style, which is an aristocratic hair style. She is wearing perfume at the market price. She is as good as gold; when she walks, her gait is graceful and graceful, which is by no means comparable to that of a favored maid from a rich family. The former can only be decorated with jewels, while the latter, a true noblewoman, can have such dignified manners.
Looking at this shabby wine shop, he clearly dislikes the filth here, but he still sits there;
The tea bowl is given to him, and he touches it with his own sleeve. , and then pouring tea into a bowl to serve the young master, this is not just love, but more like fear.
With his company like this, what about the young man in black?
To remind you,
When the young master came in earlier, his steps were wide and his walking shoulders were slightly slanted. This was caused by being used to riding war horses. He often has to move around and do the dojo in the screw shell, so he has this habit;
Look at the young master's tiger mouth and palm position when he picked up the tea bowl to drink tea. Although they have been trimmed,, but there is still a layer of fine light cocoon, he must be practicing arrows constantly on weekdays, and at the same time, he is good at using the weapon as a sword.
With a bow, horse and sword at his side,
This young master must be a member of the army.
Furthermore,
This young man is not wearing armor and travels in plain clothes, but he is still dressed generously and decently. He is rich and expensive. He does not wear armor because he does not want to stand out. Comfortable and at ease, not wanting to stand out, but not being seen either. Such magnanimity, haha.
There are many leaders of the Jin army in the current Jin region, but the Yan people are the real masters of the three Jin areas now. Generals born in the Jin people basically have to live with their tail between their legs.
So,
This young man in black must be a nobleman of the Yan Kingdom. "
Said,
The drunkard clasped his hands together and said:
"The noble man is blessed. "
Uncle Zheng was noncommittal, thinking in his mind whether this drunkard had really guessed his identity.
"Nobleman from Yandi? General of Yan State? Hahahahaha. "
The scholar suddenly laughed,
laughing so hard that tears were about to flow out,
said:
"In this way, I can really see this sword this time. "
The drunkard stopped talking and just looked at the scholar coldly.
The scholar turned around, looked at Zheng Fan and said:
"Take this sword for me. look. "
Uncle Zheng put his hands up, supported his chin, looked at the scholar, and said:
"Why? ”
The accountant sitting next to the drunkard suddenly stood up.
For a moment, the monk who had just sat down also stood up suddenly.
Get up.
The energy of the two people collided in an instant.
The accountant turned around with the abacus
At the same time. , the young monk also smashed the beads on his wrist, and after they collided together, there was no sound. Instead, the two were attracted to each other.
However,
At this time,
the young monk’s eyes narrowed and he shouted lowly: “Buzz! ”
The accountant was forced down and sat back in his chair.
The young monk took advantage of the situation and pulled the beads, and also took the other person’s abacus into his hand, playing with it casually. .
The drunkard squinted his eyes,
praised:
"Buddhism and martial arts, one is righteous and the other is strange, this reminds me of Dayan's That Nanhou.
Back then,
outside the Jin capital,
Nanhou had a battle with the Sword Master of Jin, and the Sword Master was defeated!
I went to the forest afterwards to find the place where the battle took place, checked the traces, and found that the Nanhou was not only physically strong, but also good at the art of foreign affairs.
Therefore, I infer:
The defeat of the Sword Master, it is not a crime of war, but Nanhou regarded the duel between the two sides as a confrontation between two armies, and he had a backup plan, so he won.
This little master is a practitioner of both Buddhism and martial arts. There is no way he will be able to follow the same path as the Marquis of Nan in the future. ”
“Amitabha. ”
The young monk recited the Buddha’s name, waved his hand, and the abacus fell to the accountant again. He reached out to take it and put it back on the table.
The drunkard pointed at the accountant and laughed and cursed. Said:
“I asked you to learn more fighting skills but you didn’t, which makes me very embarrassed now. ”
This accountant should be a Qi practitioner. In the first round of confrontation, he and the young monk fought with foreign skills, but then, when the monk revealed his martial arts physique, It turned into a force to defeat ten groups, and directly suppressed him.
Seeing that the short conflict here was over, the scholar looked at Zheng Fan again.
p>Ask:
“Why did you just ask me? ”
Uncle Zheng nodded.
“Okay, then I will tell you, in fact, we are the same people. It is normal that you don’t know me, because I am not ordinary. Will show up. "
As he spoke, the scholar took out a token from his arms and showed it to Uncle Zheng.
At the same time, he said:
"I am,
p>The first guest minister under the command of Ye Bo of Dayan County was Zheng Fanli.
Zheng Fanli. ”

Good night.
