Chapter 004: Going to that mountain to pick hawthorns
Xu Shizi threw a few handfuls of bait, tired of watching the image of koi flopping, clapped his hands and stood up, originally Jiang Nai were ready to wipe their hands with brocade dipped in warm water, but Xu Fengyen didn’t bother to pick it up, three years of grinding, it’s hard to go from extravagance to frugality, but going from frugality to extravagance also requires a transition.
He left Hearing Tide Pavilion alone, and finally did not forget to turn around and remind:
“Sister Jiang Nai, don’t try to sneak into the building to try to smuggle in a martial arts manual, you know, any of the pavilion guard slaves inside are not something you can deal with with a divine talisman in your sleeve. These old guys are not as compassionate as I am. For a girl, it’s good to grind her hands with red sleeves. Let’s go, don’t stare at me, the first time I saw you, I knew that Sister Jiang Nai’s eyes were pretty.”
After flirting with the maid Xu Fengyen walked towards the stables that belonged to him and his second sister, along the way he saw the watery maidservant, he didn’t forget to put his arm around her waist, touching her small hands, and the ones that were more colorful, of course, he also didn’t forget to rub their heavy breasts, shouting sister sister and then frivolously saying “Yo, a few extra pairs of meat here, don’t get tired when walking,” which caused a series of silver bells to ring. This caused a series of silver bell-like shy laughter.
Xu Fengyen came to the rich and magnificent degree than the general rich family room is even more excessive stables, inside the temporary only a lonely and lonely date red lame horse.
The servant Lao Huang, who has been a groom for the royal family for many years, was nattering with the horse, and when he saw His Royal Highness, who has been dependent on him for three years, habitually grinning and revealing a comical scene without two incisors, Xu Fengyen rolled his eyes, and said in surprise: “Lao Huang, where’s your box, why don’t you carry it on your back anymore?”
Old Huang is estimated to be Shu people, a mouth in the dynasty is very unappealing Western Shu accent how can not change.
And the country’s soldiers but 60,000 small West Shu, when with the West Chu dynasty, the same can not escape the fate of the king of North Liang destroyed, but the old Huang is much more lovely than that ginger mud, peaceful and self-contained very much.
These three years of miserable and desolate thousands of miles of travel, if not for the old Huang will fish and climb trees and steal chickens and dogs, but also hand in hand to teach Xu Fengyen to weave straw shoes, he this son of the world has long died of starvation in his countryside.
The old servant was carrying a bag wrapped in rags, containing only a rosewood box, killed Xu Fengyen refused to open to see the mystery.
At first Xu Fengyen thought it was the Xuan Gui box which is famous in the jianghu and used to carry sharp weapons, he thought that his father would at least send a great master to accompany him, but when he first encountered the bandits, he saw that the old servant was more like a lost dog than him, and then he was completely cold-hearted.
Every time you try to persuade the old Huang to open the box, the old horseman will only shake his head and laugh, Xu Fengyen had to curse and swear that it is not necessary for your daughter-in-law to take off her clothes and give me a look.
Qinghe County sometime Xu Fengyen took advantage of the old yellow to go to shit, can not resist the curiosity, secretly study a little, but do not know, only feel the box is holding the light will be cold stinging body, the results of the old yellow to see the eyes of that called a grudge, more than the streets of Lingzhou was molested by him yellow girl still pitiful.
After that, I don’t know whether it is retribution, Xu Fengyen infected with wind cold every other day, is the old Huang boiled medicine and boiled water to steal sweet potatoes to bake, busy, after the whole half a decade time is the old horseman carrying Xu Fengyen forward, the biggest impression is that the old Huang’s skinny bones to the bones of their own cackle, of course, there are also a few points of gratitude that did not speak out.
After that, Xu Fengyen did not hit the box of thieves. Just will inevitably shallowly think of a certain year, a certain month, a certain day can know the little secret. Of course, it is irrelevant small secret, an old horseman can have a big secret is a joke.
To this day, Xu Fengyen still remembers asking his old servant “Old Huang, are you a master?” after he got out of the pursuit of the grass bandits.
Old Huang nodded his head with the “shyness” that only moves on the face of a beautiful woman.
Xu Fenian asked again, “A very high kind?”
Old Huang seemed even more shy, squirming and slightly skimming his head, nodding again.
Xu Fengyen thought of the tragic scene of being chased by a group of people with wooden spears and wood knives, and forced himself to resist the thought of punching them, and asked again, “How tall is it?”
Old Huang blinked, seems to be thinking, half a minute before reaching out and gesturing, seems to be about the same height as His Highness, followed by a drop in height. Then the lucky Xu Fenian completely despaired.
So Xu Fengyen has every reason to be resentful of the Dazhu country, in addition to forgetting to arrange for experts as escorts, not only did not tell him that walking in the jianghu should not be pregnant with the simple reasoning, but also egged Xu Fengyen to say, “son ah, go out, the first thing to do is to protect your life, here, this sword is invulnerable to fire, water and fire invulnerability of the wu kui treasure armor to wear, this is the silk thread made by the ice worm vomit blood to create a glove to put on, here are three or four books similar to martial arts, and here are three or four books similar to martial arts. Here there are three or four similar to the Wudang town teach “on the clear purple sun secret” of the world’s secret books, all take, good goods ah, you throw any one of them to the rivers and lakes, can cause a bloody storm, you take the time to practice, may be tomorrow is a master, look, dad is really heartache you na. Put the silver tickets on, your waist that a few hanging jade pendant is also worth a few hundred taels of gold, no money to find a pawnshop to sell, eat and drink is not a problem.”
At first Xu Fengyen thought it was really good, this kind of traveling is a straight path ah, not worry about spending money like water, hook up with the beauty of the different charm, get to know the famous heroes, with the martial arts in the loud warrior brother, think about it is happy.
But then he fucking know, he is simply a big fat sheep to be slaughtered, who see who love, who see who pounce, this you a bastard donkey ass, later, the only use of those secret books is to tear it down and use it to wipe the shit.
Only half of the book left to look horizontally, vertically and diagonally like the heavenly book of “Swallowing Gold Talisman”, finally come in handy, on the way back to meet the white fox face than any of the Lingshou Hua Kui is also beautiful, he recognized the goods, promised to accept half of the “Swallowing Gold Talisman”, escort him back to Lingshou.
That half year Xu Fengyen easily ran into a real master without any bad intentions, try to please, but no white fox face to him, even walking to deliberately pull away a large distance, unless encountered unenlightened road blocking robbers, otherwise never nonsense.
Xu Fengnian walked into the stables, took a handful of horse grass for the lame horse, and sighed softly, “Red rabbit ah red rabbit, if the second sister sees a good sweat-blooded BMW being tormented into this behavior, it is hard to guarantee that she will not give me chestnuts to eat.”
In these three years, an eagle and a horse, plus an old servant who was fortunately not so old and dim-eyed, was all he had.
Xu Fengyen fed the horse for a while, and thought that the secret agent in his house had sent a message that White Fox’s face was still lingering in the city, so he was ready to go out of the royal palace to find some long-lost fun.
This guy in his downtrodden times from time to time will stab him with a sentence “if you are a son of the world I am a woman”, Xu Fengyen has no reason not to go to show off show off.
In the past, I only thought it was only natural to rely on the old man’s flag of the king of Xu, and now I still think so, just a few more points to cherish, after all, after more than two years of life is worse than death, only to know that the world’s firewood, rice, oil and salt is not cheap ah.
Old Huang cultivated a tacit understanding with His Highness the son of the world, seems to know that it is going out to spend time and drink, so he rubbed his hands together and made a gesture of drinking.
Xu Fengyen understood and laughed, “Don’t worry, won’t forget to treat you to the best and most expensive flower carvings, let’s go!”
Xu Fengyen just walked out of the stable with the old horseman, he saw the old Taoist priest who said that he was a fairy and some people believed him, no need to guess, surely this old liar came to beg himself to convince his younger brother to go to Longhu Mountain to learn the art.
Twelve years ago is Xu Fengyen let the dog bite this old Taoist, due to his mother’s life believe in Buddhism, do not believe in the fate of this set of things His Highness the son of the monks are still respect, but once you see the street fortune teller, must smash the mess, this old Longhu Mountain Taoist is also counted as bad luck.
When the old Taoist monk who did not repair all the lice over the first pass, but also almost a did not hold the broken child body, the beginning of that meeting is very unpleasant, but the end is still sloppy.
Children Xu Fengyin parting private not forget to teach Longhu Mountain old ancestor seriously “old man, to cheat people to cheat money, how you have to give up money to get a decent set of clothes, those of the immortal novels on the Taoist masters, can be a yellow crown robe a hiccup will be immediately feathered into the immortal stage of the attire of the high people, you do not learn? Next time you come to the royal palace like this, I will still let the dog bite you!”
It seems that the old Taoist Zhao is a good boy, really changed into a new decent robe, the top of the head of the yellow crown, but also added a simple mahogany sword, usually go where, are the first half of life walking around the countryside can not enjoy the respect of the eyes, which usually in the mountains of the old Taoist priests in the decades of the same several deadpan face is very useful.
Xu Fengyen did not have a big or small arm over the old Taoist shoulder, softly treacherous:
“Niubizi old Taoist, my brother to go to Longhu Mountain that is a good thing, but your Longhu Mountain and my father made this heavenly good karma, you do not have something to show that? Otherwise, my brother to go to Wudang Mountain to learn the art is not the same as learning the art, why take the long way around to go to your place that birds do not shit? The scenery of Wudang Mountain can be very good, and I can still visit every now and then.”
The old Taoist face is difficult, look around to see no one, this is quietly feel into his arms, pulling out an old and yellowed ancient book, reluctantly said, “This ‘Multiplying Dragon Sword Recipe’ ……”
Unexpectedly Xu Fengyi on the spot flip face, not even a glance at the sword book, raised his finger pointed in the direction of the Tide Pavilion, spat: “Straight mother thieves, Zhao Niubizi, you are also too unorthodox, to the secret book, whether it is to practice internal martial arts or to play weapons, I need to go to the other place? You also don’t mind embarrassing yourself.”
Similarly an old man who has lived for sixty to seventy years, Old Huang is very discerning and perceptive, following His Highness with a grin.
Only then did the old Taoist remember that there is a “martial arts arsenal” within the royal residence, listening to the tide of the pavilion, suddenly, a face of embarrassment, retracted his hand, embarrassed, said: “Then how should it be?”
Xu Fengyen lowered his voice and said, “Are there any handsome young Taoist nuns in Longhu Mountain? Age a little older is no harm, but do not exceed thirty-five, any older, it is old, maintenance again, I think there must be no longer Xu Niang half old flavor flavor.”
The old Taoist gave a surprised “ah”.
Xu Fengyen raised an eyebrow and questioned, “What, no ah or not happy ah?”
The old Taoist appeared to be in a heavenly battle, but in fact it was only a few blinks of an eye, he quietly said, “There are, but they are all the disciples and grandchildren of my masters and brothers, poor Taoist I have always preferred a lack of disciples over an abundance of disciples, so my lineage of disciples is very small. However, since Shizi has the idea to study Taoism, of course I don’t mind introducing one or two female disciples of the younger generation.”
Xu Fengyen patted the old Taoist on the shoulder and gave a thumbs up, “On the Tao.”
The old Taoist began to silently recite the “Three and a Fifth Dugong Talisman” to atone for his sins, reciting in his heart, “Ancestor Master, don’t blame me, poor Taoist, this is all for the millennium of Longhu Mountain’s grand plan.”
Then the old Taoist who is honored as one of the three great celestial masters of Longhu Mountain anxiously said, “The acceptance of an apprentice has to be picked at an auspicious time, if you don’t get up and rush to Longhu Mountain today, you will miss it, and this is not good for the young king.”
Xu Fengyen frowned: “Have to immediately?”
The fiery looking Zhao Tianshi nodded his head heavily and said, “Immediately!”
Xu Fengyen, who wanted to take his brother on a hunting trip, took a deep breath and instructed Lao Huang to wait outside the mansion on the street, and took the old Taoist with the bull nose who did not look like a Heavenly Master to his beloved younger brother Xu Longxiang, a hundred paces away from the stables, the old Taoist intentionally or unintentionally twisted his head to look at the old horseman who stayed by the side of the stables with a silly grin and the original heavy footsteps finally lightened up by a couple of points.
Xu Fengyen came to his younger brother’s compound, angry and amused to find that this kid is squatting on the ground to see the ants again, walked over and patted his head, said bluntly: “Do not look at it, the ants there in the Longhu Mountain is much bigger, go there to look at it, learn the art of going down the mountain early, bring a bag of wild hawthorns to my brother, hear me?”
Noble Little Prince is really stupid fool stood up, nodded heavily, and laughed again, of course, no less than drooling again.
The old Taoist’s jaw dropped, this heavenly difficult task was so easily taken care of? That day that once single-handedly turned the whole jianghu upside down, but the great pillar state had not been able to convince this disciple with all his efforts.
Xu Fengnian wiped his saliva while cursing with a laugh:
“Silly yellow barbarian. Here, see, this will be your master, to Longhu Mountain, beat anyone, this old man don’t hit is, if anyone dares to bully you and call you a fool, you will fight to the death, if you can’t fight, let your master write to you, brother with our Northern Liang iron cavalry run two thousand miles to kill on Longhu Mountain, go to the fucking Taoist orthodoxy! Remember, don’t be bullied! In this world, only we brothers and our two sisters bully others!”
Xu Longxiang probably seemed to understand and nodded.
The old Taoist, on the other hand, listened in shock.
Xu Fengnian, Xu Longxiang did not have any resistance, the royal family did not drag the mud, led by the righteous son Qi Dangguo, forty elite iron horsemen escorted, secretly there are several Beiliang royal family bred able to keep an eye on the people, coupled with a Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master, think no one dares to move the earth on the head of the Taiyangtou.
Leaving soon, son Xu Fengnian stood in front of his younger brother and said softly: “Silly yellow barbarians, in the future, brother will not be able to help you wipe your saliva. But brother promises you, will also continue to help you find the world’s most beautiful woman as a mother-in-law, she is not willing, tied also tied into the cave.”
Being favored by God to get the power of the dragon and elephant of the teenage stupid, the mind does not open, but does not mean that there is no any feelings, on the contrary, a certain aspect, extraordinarily strong, such as treatment of the world in addition to the mother after the second will wipe his saliva for his brother’s heavy dependence.
Fourteen years old, Xu Fengyen broke into a big trouble, has always been on the children do not hit not scolded the big pillar country almost took out the iron whip towards the most heartbroken son smashed down, no one dares to persuade no one dares to stop, it is stupid yellow barbarians dead in front of his brother, do not let go.
Xu Fengyen red eyes, turned his head to the old Taoist priest and said with a single word: “Zhao Niubizi, I said, don’t let anyone bully Huang Ban. Although I, Xu Fengnian, am an unscrupulous dude with no power in my hands, you should understand what the consequences will be.”
The old Daoist smiled and nodded bitterly.
The team gradually traveled far away, neither Xu Fengyen nor his father Xu Snapdragon sent them all the way out of the city.
Xu Fenian found old Huang standing by the jade lion and laughed softly, “Not in the mood for a drink today lo, later?”
The old servant smiled very simple and bright, an old face like a large reed bush that can only be seen when you go out into the wilderness, it may not be charming or magnificent, but it has its own feelings. Like a jar of old wine that has been sealed for many, many years.
