Chapter 150: Wind and Thunder in the Garden
Xu Fengnian didn't know who the so-called "Snowy Night Returning" in the Monument was talking about, but with his excellent memory, he recognized the old man at a glance. It was the old servant of Qingliang Mountain who temporarily became a stonemason and Wu Jiang, who liked to eat ginger. When he first met, the old man stood in the craftsman team, with a hunched figure and a vicissitudes of face, and was not eye-catching. If Xu Fengnian had not had a big drop in his realm, he might have seen some clues at that time. Xu Fengnian did not retreat but advanced but moved forward slowly. Then he realized that the old man with his back straight and did not pretend to be shrunk, with a very good manner, and actually had the powerful aura of the elders in the center of the palace.
In Xu Fengnian's impression, the purely aged masters and older generation masters, except for Han Shengxuan and Sui Xiegu, which are easy to be intimidating, Lao Huang, the old man in sheep-skin fur, and Zhao Xituan, the old master of Longhushan, was completely incompatible with the noble martial arts master. This made Xu Fengnian confirm his previous speculation that even the old man with a pseudonym Wu Jiang, who was known as the "secret, clerical, cursive, running and regular script, is well-known for thousands of years", Qi Lianhua, who is known as the second best in the Western Chu Dynasty, is also very involved with the calligraphy saint. It is not difficult to hide his shortcomings in people, but it is not easy to hide his shortcomings in calligraphy. Qi Lianhua, who was born in a noble family, was recognized as a talented calligraphy master, but in the Great Chu Dynasty, he was only an editor at the Hanlin Academy, and only did some helping the emperor of Jiang to write imperial edicts.
As for the small matter of inscriptions and sacrifices, more than half of the previous dynasty were compiled without any problems and ended in the history books of the previous dynasty. Therefore, at that time, the nicknames of "Qi Ban Bi" and "Yi Lang". The latter implicitly ridiculed Qi Lianhua to only add icing on the cake and not provide timely help. After the destruction of Western Chu, the family of the Guangling Qi family declined, and Qi Lianhua disappeared, which confirmed Qi Lianhua's statement that Qi Lianhua was increasingly confirmed. At that time, there was a hot case about the thirteenth school of the Spring and Autumn Period. Qi Lianhua was originally a "book Jia" launched by Western Chu, especially for running script. The "Warring States Label" with only 14 characters was praised by the world's second running script as soon as it was born. Later, Nalan Youci, who was officially designated as the double-armor of calligraphy and painting by Liyang, had the first running script in the world, and the first running script in the world, and it was only
People in the world are not willing to buy this statement, and do not recognize Nalan Youci's double-armor theory, and only admit that Qi Lianhua's calligraphy attains are catching up with ancient sages. However, the ownership of the calligraphy of the Spring and Autumn Period is still the Huanglongshi who "leads the world and no one competes in the cursive script. Later, Li Yang couldn't wait to introduce the old master of the Song family as the literary aristocratic, and was also sneered by people at the time. It would be fine if you, Master Song, are the leader of the literary world of the Liyang Zhao family, and if you have the wine of Shangyin Academy, Qiyang Dragon Pearl Jade, how can you get the "Wenjia" in the Spring and Autumn Period, which has no first since ancient times? The Li Yang court was unwilling to accept it. Since there is no first in literature, there is no second in martial arts, so I want to recommend the Wang Xianzhi of Wudicheng as Wujia.
, but he was rejected directly by the old monster Wang, who claimed to be the "secondest in the world". Therefore, many dazzling versions emerged in the Spring and Autumn Annals, including a certain number of Taoist surnamed Zhao in Longhushan, among which the most widely circulated and convincing version was still the earliest version. Although many people missed the Spring and Autumn Annals, no matter what, as long as they could be nominated, they would naturally be the dragon and phoenix among people. Xu Fengnian's master Li Yishan praised Qi Lianhua's calligraphy back then, and called his running script the highest of ancient and modern times. Therefore, Xu Fengnian was naturally affected by the fish in the pond. When he was young, he practiced running script and copied the "Qi posted" that few original works passed down from generation to generation. I wonder how many times he scolded Qi Lianhua.
Xu Fengnian was very curious if the old man in front of him was Qi Lianhua himself, how could he become a Western Chu dead soldier who had escaped the net in Qingliang Mountain? If he wanted to let the Beiliang Palace, which was full of experts, it would not be enough to rely solely on endurance, and he would inevitably need to have terrifying strength as support. Xu Fengnian was not surprised that the old man was dormant in the Xu family itself. As the only bloodline of the Western Chu royal family, Jiang Ni could naturally allow the Western Chu scholars who "the country has raised scholars for two hundred years, and it is not enough to repay the king's kindness without death." But what really made Xu Fengnian fear was that the princess Jiang Si was taken back to Beiliang by Xu Xiao, which was a huge secret. Otherwise, Cao Changqing would not have been secretly visited by Liyang for many years but failed. How did the old man in front of him know?
Xu Fengnian did not retreat immediately from this tomb, but looked at an old Chu minister, which was actually a great risk. Although Xu Xiao had arbitrarily advocated leaving behind a precious "remnant" of Jiang's surname for Western Chu, after all, the Western wall was defeated by Xu Xiao himself, and he personally led his troops to break open the gate of the Western Chu Palace. The emperor and the empress died in front of him. Xu Xiao could only be private favors and hatred for Western Chu. What's more, the smoke of gunpowder on Guangling Road is everywhere, and the Liyang war is not good. In the eyes of the world, even if the cavalry of Beiliang cannot withstand the southern invasion of the millions of Beimang's troops, if it is said that it is a large-scale retreat from the barren northwest and runs to the Central Plains.
It is definitely more than enough to deal with the rebels of Western Chu. At present, many people in the court and the country think that this is undoubtedly the retreat choice of the King of Northern Liang. Li Yang can not die, one soldier, and Bei Liang also has enough military merit to resettle the generals' retreat. Everyone is very happy. As for the 300,000 border troops, at most, they can be disbanded. Anyway, Gu Jiantang, the two Liao borders of the Dazhu Kingdom, can absorb more than 100,000 in one breath. Therefore, the Western Chu court was very careful about the movements of the Northern Liang border troops, especially Xu Fengnian, because they were afraid that the young vassal king would run all the way to the heartland of the Central Plains one day, and handed them to Li Yang Xinjun with their Da Chu as a letter of surrender.
At this moment, the only masters around Xu Fengnian were Mi Fengjie and Fan Xiaochai, and they were both outside the tombs and were not allowed to enter the forbidden area. The ancestor of the sword-eating sword-eating ancestor Sui Xiegu and the hundreds of Wu family were on the northern line of Liangzhou to prevent Beimang from assassinating Chu Lushan in the Beiliang Protector's Mansion at any cost. Xu Yanbing was still chasing the top Beimang master who had infiltrated Youzhou alone. Dan Tai Pingjing and the disciples of Guanyin Sect were also cooperating with Xu Yanbing, and it was necessary to leave that little thought and the Da Yuefu in Youzhou.
If it were in the past, where would Xu Fengnian go in this world?
The old man looked at the somewhat lost young man with complex eyes. Perhaps his existence itself made the atmosphere around him a little more tense, but for some reason, Old Man Chi Mu seemed to have no hostility. Xu Fengnian's peak realm is no longer there, but his keen intuition is still there. So when Mi Fengjie, who realized that there was something wrong in the tomb, rushed into the garden, Xu Fengnian just raised his hand and signaled the two to withdraw. Mi Fengjie left silently, Fan Xiaochai hesitated for a moment and still stood in the distance. Xu Fengnian did not care about the usurpation of the female death warrior.
After the simple-dressed old man put his hands on his back, he smiled and said, "Xu Xiao has never done anything I like in his life, but he has given birth to a good son."
Hearing this disrespectful tone, Xu Fengnian couldn't help frowning, but he quickly felt relieved. The older literati were already particular about character, otherwise how could they have the confidence to rule the world with the literati and the king? Besides, this person is very likely an isolated minister of Western Chu who was hidden in the name, and it is reasonable to have a lot of resentment towards Beiliang and Xu Xiao. Xu Fengnian asked with a smile: "Do you dare to ask the old man is the saint of the calligraphy of Western Chu Qi?"
The old man's face was a little weird, neither denying nor acknowledged, and just looked straight at Xu Fengnian. If Xu Fengnian, whose face was similar to Princess Wu Su, was a handsome young man in the eyes of the women in the world, then he could vaguely see the old man with a wonderful temperament when he was young, and his appearance was the least effective. Xu Fengnian was a little uncomfortable when he was looked at him. In the past, he was mostly the kind of sacred prince who was wasting his eyes. Later, in Tai'ancheng, he looked at the son of the slaughter. When the result of his battle with Wang Xianzhi was revealed, a huge change occurred. Even the border general of Beiliang, who was famous for his rebelliousness, was like Li Mofan, and Wang Lingbao, had a heartfelt awe and admiration in his eyes, but there was no such inexplicable eyes as the old man in front of him.
The old man whispered: "I saw you writing elixirs on the stele before. I can see that you have worked hard. You can be brave and diligent in martial arts since Wudang practiced swords. I need to thank Li Yishan. Practicing calligraphy and playing chess. When you reach the realm, you can understand one method and all methods. Although not every calligraphy master and the national player in the chess world can become capable ministers in the world, or become a master of martial arts like Li Mi's disciples, it is of great benefit to a person's character shaping. After being named a king and became a vassal, Xu Xiao changed his mind and nature a lot, and he had a lot to do with his later years of learning chess."
Xu Fengnian didn't say anything. When Xu Xiao became famous in Jinzhou, Liaodong, he was just an illiterate gossip. It can be said that Xu Fengnian's ancestors and scholars from the school of the school were not even a big fight. After Xu Xiao arrived in Beiliang, he became a big chess basket. He was able to drink wine with his second sister Xu Weixiong's master Wang, and the two chess baskets were able to kill them happily. At first, Xu Fengnian's mother wanted Xu Xiao to play more chess, and grind her impatient temperament. When she was old, it was time to cultivate her nature. At first, Xu Xiao always fished for three days and had two days to dry the net. If she could escape, she would not say much. Over time, the princess would not say much. Later, Xu Fengnian fell in love with chess. Perhaps after the princess passed away, the relationship between Xu Fengnian and Xu Xiao was a terrible one. Xu Xiao should think about it. When he was a little more with his son, he finally started to learn chess seriously, but he was soon blocked by the talented prince. From then on, Xu Fengnian and Li Yishan would not like to play chess with Xu Xiao. No matter how much he was, he could kill Xu Xiao, even if Xu Xiao wanted to humiliate himself, it depends on whether the only master and apprentice in the world who could not sell his face today was in a mood? Xu Weixiong was always able to play chess with Xu Xiao, but perhaps in the heart of Xu Xiao, who never concealed his preference for boys over girls, it was still more interesting to play chess with his son. Even if Xu Fengnian was killed on the chessboard, he had a few pieces left, and had a horse to take on the Spring and Autumn War Tribulus, the Xu Laizi, who was recognized as the most loyal winner in Liyang Chao, would also be very happy.
The unparalleled achievements of pacifying the Spring and Autumn Period made Xu Xiao and the father of the late emperor Zhao Dun sit on equal terms when they met the king and his ministers, and later they were able to enter the hall with swords when they went to court. However, in Qingliang Mountain, many scenes always made people feel absurd, especially outsiders. Xu Xiao was chased and killed in Wutongyuan, and the young prince was sitting on the host seat of the prince's house. Not to mention the family of the Duke and Generals who were the Zhongming Ding Food, even in the small family, the one who was the son should not be so doting on his son, and the son should not be so disobedient. In the end, Li Yang took the opportunity to find an impeccable reason to attack Beiliang, and the upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked.
Xu Feng shook his head lightly, and let the abandoned person go quickly to concentrate. Although the old man in front of him had no murderous intention, he was a first-class hidden master. The battle between Liangmang was about to break out. If he died here, the place where he died was still a good place, but time was very wrong. Not to mention anything else, Beimang might have at least tens of thousands of people less.
The old man asked with a smile: "Do you think I am the Qi Lianhua of Xi Chu?"
Xu Fengnian nodded.
The old man slowly stretched out a palm, "When he lifted his pen, he should concentrate on his mind, just like the sages, saints, and immortals in the previous dynasty, and the hearts were upright and harmonious, so that he could understand the mystery and close to the great way. The way was like a heavy weapon in the country and temple. If it was empty, it would be full and covered, and only if it was middle, it would be flat."
The old man's gesture changed, "The ancients said that the ghosts were hidden in the wrist, and the writing was like a god's help. Therefore, if the tip is straight, the momentum is complete. Second, the finger is heavy, the finger is solid, and the joint force is even. Once the palm is empty, the palm is empty, the use of Ruyi..."
"Hele Chule, the word "Shi" is also the name. The Great Chu raised scholars for two hundred years and the country was destroyed for twenty years, and there was still a sense of morale that could not be humiliated."
"If the ring is bound to be slump, the wave is bound to be fertilized."
"If you have to work hard, you must work hard and then come out with your pen."
As the old man told the story, the garden was filled with wind and thunder!
Mi Fengjie outside the tomb looked pale, and the sword in the box behind him kept trembling, as if he was struck by lightning, and was sobbing and wailing.
In the garden, Fan Xiaochai's face was bloodless and was shaking, but she still gritted her teeth and stubbornly did not take a step back.
The old man's palm slowly turned over, as if he was just holding up a pen and sketching it slowly, like a pedantic old man teaching a private school child how to write with strokes, but in Xu Fengnian's eyes, there were storms, which even reminded him of the way that Gu Jiantang used the world's number one talisman "Nanhua" to return Cao Changqing with a single thunder. The two came to the same path, and both turned decay into magic and reached the realm of transformation. The wind and snow were swaying, and Xu Fengnian's expression was heavy. Previously, he and the master of swordsman Mi Fengjie thought that the remains of the stone tablet were the sword energy carved from his fingers, but now it seems that it is a slight difference and a thousand miles of error.
This old man uses a knife.
Xu Fengnian didn't go to see the shattered wind and snow in the sky, and asked, "Mr. Qi turned out to be the thirteen sword armor among the Spring and Autumn Period?"
The old man did not answer this question, but instead bent his five fingers slightly and made a closed position, and asked, "Meijing?"
Xu Fengnian, who stood as the center of the circle and had no snowflakes within a few feet of the surrounding area, replied helplessly: "The word 'nian' is the same."
The old man stopped and sighed: "Yes, the word Nian is Xu Fengnian."
The wind and snow in the garden finally came back to normal, and snowflakes fell on Xu Fengnian's head and shoulders.
