Chapter 115 – Old Rascal Drops Twelve

“The Tao is undoable, there is no Zen to attend, and life is as lonely as a great avalanche.”

“Master, you’re sad again.”

“Stupid north and south, when one day you have a daughter-in-law, you will also be so.”

“Alas, it must be that the master’s wife has gone to the bottom of the mountain to buy rouge again.”

……

“Master, what are you always going to sharpen your kitchen knives for these days?”

“Sharpening it so that I can chop people.”

“What? Master you don’t think about it ah, we are already a monk if we can’t think about it again, what should those Buddhist believers who go up to the mountain to burn incense do? Although the master mother and things always love to spend money ……”

“It has nothing to do with things and your master’s mother.”

“Oh, that’s good. Is that another Abbot you don’t like? I think Huiguang abbot is quite beat up, but the knife is not good, master we still according to the old rules set of sacks to hit the muffled stick it, relatively not hurt the peace.”

“……”

“Ah? Not Abbot Huiguang?”

“It’s for that kid surnamed Xu to grind.”

“Ah? Why? Xu Fenian is quite nice.”

“This bastard dares to steal my daughter. Who else will I kill?”

“Master, I’d like to go to the rosary.”

“What are you afraid of, you have this ability, things let you rob for so many years did not see you snatch away. Besides, cut you, who will do the laundry and cook?”

“……”

“North and south, something every day in your ears to say how that boy how, you have no opinion?”

“No.”

“Adopting such a stupid disciple like you is really Buddha dozing off. Aren’t you afraid that something will run away with someone? Don’t look for Master to cry when the time comes.”

“Hey, it’s definitely Master who cries more.”

……

“Master, do you think things will be sad one day in case I really become a Buddha and burn out relics.”

“North and south ah, you go and cook first, let’s think about this when we’re full, okay?”

“Oh.”

……

“Master, why is it that when you fight with Master’s wife, every time, you’re the one who admits fault first?”

“It doesn’t matter if some things are right and other things are all wrong. Understand?”

“Not quite.”

“For example, the matter of you liking things is right, so ……”

“Master you don’t have to say anymore, I get it all.”

“Hm? How come you’re more enlightened than Master at this moment?”

“Hey, this is the Zen that the disciple cultivates.”

……

“North and south, after going down the mountain haven’t you seen a better looking girl than something? Remember, monks don’t lie.”

“No!”

“Not bad.”

“Master, what are you lifting the wine gourd for?”

“If you answer yes, you’ll know why.”

……

“Master, are you afraid of anyone other than things and the Master’s wife?”

“The presiding officer of our temple who has lived for more than one hundred and fifty years, Master is afraid of that, afraid that he won’t give copper coins.”

“What about outside the temple?”

“None, right?”

“Master, monks don’t lie!”

“Allow the master to think about it, oh, there really is one, back then with your master’s wife robbed your master, quarrel quarrel half a catty, fortunately, the master’s fists are harder than some of his hard, I think the whole world, that old rascal also dare not come to our temple.”

“Old rascal? Wait, what does it mean to have robbed the master with the master’s wife?!”

“The past, let it pass with the wind.”

……

Xiangfan City know Qingzhou the most foxy woman lives in Xiangguo Lane, she is clearly a prostitute who has fallen into the world, but no one dares to regard her as a hooker woman, she called Li Baishi, real name Li Xiaoru, his ancestors are the third-rate official family of Dongyue, not to talk about the country’s collapse of the family, just the father’s generation is not good at business, thank you for the world, leaving a mess to the young children, Li Baishi with his wet nurse to go to the shores of Xiling Lake in Guangling to sell their ancestral property to make a living, live in the Pinewoods, entertain the landscape, grow up to be the most popular in the world, and the most important thing is that they have a lot of money. She lived in a small building in the pine forest, entertained the landscape, and grew up into a beautiful and attractive young girl, with a delicate and extraordinary body, and every time she traveled, there were always a lot of beautiful young men following her. Later, in order to avoid the forcible abduction and robbery by a fierce general under the command of the King of Guangling, she moved to Xiangfan in Qingzhou, thousands of miles away, and became a Taoist nun, and then entered the Xiangguo Lane, and became a famous prostitute in the Three States by virtue of her skillfulness in singing and dancing, and her skillfulness in observing words and observing colors, and she soon jumped to become a famous prostitute in the Three States, and was especially good at Hometown Xiling accent, known as the “sound of the world’s sound, color of the world’s color”.

This rouge evaluation, is the only one to prostitute identity on the list of women, on the sound and color double A statement is to give the affirmation, simply let all boarded the greenhouse Xiangfan men feel happy, rouge evaluation is ultimately to be more convincing than the scholarly evaluation of what the four top ten flower girl to come.

Only heard that the recent Li Bai lion mood is not very good, because the Xiangfan city Taoist priests as if overnight are out of the city, as if it is set down Zhou Tian Dajiao before the Taoist ancestor of Longhu Mountain and the Buddha set up a bet, now it seems that probably the Longhu Mountain lost, the Longhu Mountain has four gods in general, the great masters in the town? Will it lose? A time the rumors of the community, opinions vary, said that the night to see the female bodhisattva dressed in snow-white monk robes, leading ten thousand ghosts out of the city and go, there are also said to be the Lung Fu Shan did not lose, just a few years to ferry the group of devils, Taoist priests have to go to the Lung Fu Shan to receive merit. I don’t know how to talk about the white monks, talked about the white master of the year, the capital hundreds of thousands of people kneeling together to worship the living Buddha, coupled with the small news of the Prince of Northern Liang into the city, these days the people of Xiangfan is to have said endless talk, wine shop tea shop business is exceptionally red hot.

The whole city of Xiangfan knows that Li Shuangjia, the White Jade Lion, incidentally knows that she has an imperial zither master, a young blind man who never shows his face when he plays the zither.

Early in the morning, yesterday has moved into the Jing’an king’s residence of the blind chess player came to the Xiangguo Lane in the middle of the White Jade Lion House, unlike in the past in the night to carry the qin, this time the hands are empty, this building of the backyard of the building of the backdoor of the small servant sleepy crouched in the doorway on the stone steps, to see the building of the goddess Li Shuangjia’s qin master to come, and immediately jumped up, piled up a smile, a smile face, and a few minutes more of the usual welcome to treat the guests of the sincerity of the gentleman, Mr. Lu in the The white jade lion building to play the piano, up and down the hundreds of people know that he has a good temper, very high bones, elegant gas is very rich, and anyone can be gentle and elegant to talk to, some of the bounty to get the real money, always did not go out of the building was sent out by Mr. Lu, he only stayed in some of the coins, so when the dog’s eyes look at people low spit over the blind man spat on the pipe door of the small servant, always boasted that with Mr. Lu do not fight to be acquainted with, doubly attentive, led the The blind zither player who is not carrying a zither today entered the door.

The little handyman said cheerfully, “Mr. Lu, I wrote down the name I begged you to teach me to write last time.”

Lu Dan smiled faintly.

The young servant with a clear face kindly said, “The fairy sisters over at the Red Fish Pavilion like to get up late, so you’ll always have to wait patiently for some time when you get there, Mr. Lu.”

Blind but recognizing the way, Lu Dan nodded and said, “I know, I will go alone, don’t bother little brother Song.”

The servant smiled and led a no, turning back the same way.

Blind qin master to the red fish museum before, meet many morning do the work of the maidservants maids, warblers and swallows are joyfully shouted a few Mr. Lu before giving up, the guts by the building of the red card misses fatten up some, but also with the land boasts of a few words of flirtation, intentionally to ask the gentleman to ask some “a tree of pears pressed the begonias” or “Huayue mountain before see palm traces”. The blind zither player only had to beg for mercy, causing more delicate sounds and laughter. This elegantly spoken and gentle Duke Lu, at first, in the white jade lion building, which is more common than Chinese cabbage for the children of the rich and powerful, was very inconspicuous, and if not for Li Shuangjia, Li’s eyes, who would have looked at him with a straight face? The second year after joining the building one day to play the piano, was he bumped into a city ranked on the name of the rich and powerful to the children of the young actress forcibly broken melon, although the White Jade Lion House than the general brothel brothel to some rules, but the people do not fight with the government, a small qingqingling, just do not have to turn the tables with the Xiangfan snakes, the ancestors of the several generations of the Qingzhou army is a big brother of the guy in the gallery forced to take the young qingling is just, but also afterward to draw a knife and chopped to death, the blind piano player did not care about the danger, but the blind piano master was not a good idea, and the blind piano master was not a good idea. Blind zither master can not care about the safety, carrying the family heirloom zither rushed up, did not hit the villain, but was guards stepped on the feet, a farce, until the Li Bai lion personally intervene to intercede, only to suppress, from the knife to save the life of the blind zither master.

White Jade Lion House many people still remember all covered in blood Lu Yan sitting in the corridor, holding the poor girl who died in his arms, take off the body of shabby clothes gently, covered with that disheveled body.

Today, the Red Fish Pavilion did not know how to learn the news that Lu Fang is coming, Li Shuangjia’s personal maidservant Prayer Fu stood at the courtyard door early to greet, saw the blind zither player, softly smiled and said, “Mr. Lu, Miss has been waiting.”

Lu Dangdan shook his head and said, “Today I just want to come with the Red Fish Pavilion to say in person that in the future I will not come to play the qin, Miss Li borrowed my guqin to paint the dragon back then, I want to earn silver taels every month in the future to pay back some of them one after another, Praying for the blessing of the girl, I won’t go into the pavilion to bother Miss Li.”

The beautiful maidservant whose status in the White Jade Lion House was higher than some red cards sighed regretfully, slightly owed her body, and gave a ten thousand blessings towards the blind zither player, before turning towards the courtyard.

The window of the second floor, stood a woman of national color, pray for blessing has been regarded as a rare beauty in Xiangfan, just with the upstairs she contrasted, lost all the color.

Unbelievable is the world’s most famous whore flower leader, Taoist nun Li Shuangjia behind the yellow pear wood chair sitting on a low to an erhu tuning old man.

Li Shuangjia waited until the figure of Lu Fang disappeared, turned around and asked with a lowered brow, “Old ancestor, today really do not need to lion slave to go to the reeds outside the city to meet that Northern Liang Shizi a little bit?”

The old man with gray sideburns Erhu just closed his eyes and picked the strings to listen to the sound.

It is reasonable to say that Li Baishi in the rouge evaluation before is one of the ten famous prostitutes in the greenhouse, more than ten years of human resources management, and the gate valve and the scholarly world have a deep friendship, she is almost married to the leader of the Westwood Party Liu Zonghui, these years met many talented poor and poor scholar, have been generous, several of them have been the imperial court noble, all people pick up the firewood, there is Li Baishi double A Jiangnan’s reputation, and now on the rouge evaluation, it is a deserved! The leader of the green house, never heard of Li Shuangjia and who is soft, and even said that so far is still a child, how would let an old man stay in the room? Could it be that Li Bai Lion is good at this? That is also too heavy taste a bit. The world would be shocked if it was spread out.

Being Li Shuangjia respectfully called the old ancestor Erhu old man opened his eyes, still did not speak.

Already knowing that the old ancestor disliked himself for talking more about this topic, Li Baishi changed the question, “Why does the old ancestor need to pay so much attention to the poor boy with the wooden sword?”

The old man raised his head and glanced diagonally at the pavilion in front of the window, but his eyes did not have any feelings, his tone was even colder, “The old man plays chess, the starting hand knows the ending, you this kind of fancy vase that is not inserted, what words are wasted.”

Was humiliated to the extreme rouge woman Li Shuangjia surprisingly did not have any anger, more and more submissive, subconsciously bent down the slender waist, so that the breasts will bulge up a lot, almost broke the clothes, her body is small and delicate, chest scenery is imposing, rumor has it that there is a pair of white lotus feet, learned Taoism room art and Tantric Buddhism joy Buddha, on the bed can be made in a variety of mysterious postures, there is the White Jade Lion rolling embroidered ball of charming sayings! The white jade lion rolls the embroidered ball.

Erhu old man in the face of art, both temples white as snow, clearly is the flower armor or even the old age, but the face is only like a middle-aged man, flexing fingers played a string, said: “Lu Rang’s chess is the old man to teach, this trip to the Red Fish Museum, the old man is to see if the boy will not be rampant once the ambition, but fortunately did not teach him to play chess for nothing, know how to leave the three points of the white, but still left the ancient zither that you gave him! The ancient qin, originally to the old man initially met his nature, is not happy to be favored by others can not go back to the return. Whether he can stir up the storm next depends on his own destiny. The best thing about a chess piece is that even the most skillful players never think that it can become the key to victory or defeat at first.”

Li Shuangjia bowed his head and said, “The Old Ancestor’s ability to talk with his hands is naturally the best in the world. The whole world is the old ancestor’s chessboard.”

The old man with two beards ignored it and said, “That kid from Northern Liang left the city today, Xiangfan will be no more your business, you go to the capital.”

Li White Lion nodded without hesitation and said, “Lion Slave only listens to the old ancestor.”

The old man quietly left the red fish museum, he has to go to a private house in the northeast corner of Xiangfan city, there is a puppet woman he trained, and Pei Wangfei Pei Nanwei has six points of similarity to the shape of the seven points of similarity to the gods, is now Jing’an Wang’s son Zhao Heng golden house to hide, every trip to favor are sneaky, for fear of being the king of the father to know, Zhao Xun thought that the trip arranged seamless, but do not know every time to favor the tempering of that was called by him fondly as South reed woman, behind the hole in the wall are standing a view of two people rolling brocade quilt are treated as a walking dead old man. Zhao Xun’s character is cautious, has long gone to let people follow the vine to find out the background of that little mother’s life, everything is not odd, so that a private house, is his biggest enjoyment in the world, the little beauty is too much like the king’s house every time we meet have to shout mother’s women, a smile, and even frowning demeanor, are almost the same, every time the king’s house by the king’s father reprimanded, or in the garden after an encounter with the princess, he has to come to the private house hard to vent some. He would always come to the private residence to give vent to his anger and love until he was exhausted.

After the end of the Spring and Autumn War, it was a brand new game of chess, and the old man had quietly set down twelve pieces.

Most of them are still taking root, but some of them are going to start immediately.

After a trip to his private residence, the old man immediately left the city and traveled to the reed swamps outside Xiangfan, the best place to enjoy the scenery.
