Chapter 690 Watchdog(1/6)
The God of Buried River Water led the long-admired Great Sword Immortal through the door, bypassed a screen wall that was involved in the water transport of Buried River, walked through the corridor, and arrived at the lobby. An old cook had just returned from the kitchen, holding a small
The plate contained Liu's shop's Chaotian pepper, which had been boiled in heavy oil. It was bright red and had a spicy taste. The old cook stammered and asked: "Mother...Mother, do you still want Chaotian pepper?"
Previously, the Water Goddess thought that the fried eel noodles tonight were not strong enough, so she asked the old cook to fry a plate of hot peppers. Unexpectedly, the Sword Immortal came to Biyou Palace without waiting.
She glanced at the small dish in the old cook's hand, at the pot of oil-fried eel noodles on the table, and finally turned to look at the Sword Immortal beside her. She felt embarrassed.
It's a rare late-night snack, so I bumped into it. If I had known better, I would have changed it to a smaller bowl.
The left and right said: "Water Goddess, just continue to have midnight snacks, I am not in a hurry to return to Tongye Sect. After eating, I will talk about business."
Take a look, what is an approachable swordsman, and what is a gentle, courteous and thrifty scholar? The direct descendant of the literary sage in front of her is that. She only thinks that scholars of the literary sage's lineage are so considerate.
She asked tentatively: "Want a bowl for Mr. Zuo too?"
He sat down on the left and right sides, glanced at the big basin on the table, and said, "No need."
"Then please trouble Mr. Zuo to wait for me for a moment. I have the biggest belly in the world, haha."
After saying the polite words, she stopped being polite. She took the dish from the old cook, poured it into the noodles, stirred it up with chopsticks, and then began to eat supper. She habitually put one leg on the chair and suddenly remembered
Mr. Zuo was on the side. He quickly sat upright. Every time he took three large chopsticks, he picked up the wine bottle on the table and took a sip of Biyou Palace's home-brewed wine. The wine was strong and paired with Chaotian pepper. After each drink, the short water god
Madam, I have to close my eyes, have a good time, wipe the sweat from my face randomly, and continue to eat that "bowl" of eel noodles.
There are no messy red tapes in Biyou Palace, and there are no strict rules. For example, the old cook never left after arriving in the lobby. The reason is very good. When the Water Goddess has finished his meal, he will take away the dishes.
Some female officials of the Biyou Palace who were buried in rivers and drowned in water ghosts, and maids and divine attendants were also cautiously gathered on both sides of the door. After all, a sword fairy is not common, so it would be good to come over and soak up the fairy spirit of the sword fairy. They
They didn't dare to make any noise, but they all stared wide-eyed at the man who was sitting on the chair with his eyes closed and meditating. It turned out that he was Mr. Zuo who had "visited" Tongye Sect twice. In the words of his own Water Goddess.
, even if I kill Du Mao in the Ascension Realm with one sword, I am the only one in the world, Mr. Zuo. In front of Mr. Zuo, none of us in Tongyezhou can beat him, not even the old Xuntou of the Yugui Sect, nor the new sect leader Jiang Shangzhen.
look.
The Buried River Water God finished eating the noodles and glared towards the gate: "Haven't you seen enough?!"
Floating away with a splash.
She chose to sit across from each other, but she chose a chair closer to the door and sat down. She smiled and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zuo. My Biyou Palace doesn't have many gods visiting me on weekdays. They always complain about me, the Water Goddess.
There are no cards, so let them open their eyes this time."
He opened his eyes left and right and said, "It doesn't matter."
The reason why he went south to the Burial River with his sword and visited Biyou Palace tonight was because there were some things that he wanted to hand over to the Water Goddess in front of him, who was said by his junior brother that "not even a Burial River could contain her heroic spirit." Back then,
Outside the wine shop on the Great Wall of Jianqi, Chen Ping'an said personally that the two gentlemen sitting in the middle were drinking small wine and accompanying the wine with the landscape stories of the disciples who closed the door.
The Biyou Mansion that buried the River Water God had many twists and turns when it was promoted from the Mansion to the Palace. If it had not been for the help of Zhong Kui, a gentleman from Dafu Academy, Biyou Mansion might not have been promoted to the Palace, and would have been recorded by the academy, just because of the burial of the River Goddess.
It is indeed against the rules to insist on asking for a classic book by a literary sage as a treasure of the future Biyou Palace. The literary sage has long been removed from the Confucian school, the accompanying statues have been moved out of the Confucian Temple, and all works are prohibited from being destroyed.
Knowing that the mountain lord of Dafu Academy is a person from the Yasheng Palace, Biyou Palace is still promoted to Biyou Palace. In addition to being grateful to Zhong Kui for his righteous words, Empress Buried River Goddess expressed her gratitude to the mountain lord of Dafu Academy.
My impression has also changed a lot, my knowledge is not great, my tolerance is not small.
She seemed to be very embarrassed for the first time, and neither of them spoke, so the atmosphere in the lobby was a bit cold. The river god racked his brains to come up with an opening statement. He didn't know whether he was shy or excited. His eyes were shining, but his teeth were chattering.
, straightened his back, grasped the handle of the chair with both hands, so that his feet were off the ground, "Mr. Zuo, everyone said that your swordsmanship and sword aura are so high that you are the best in the world, so much so that Mr. Zuo has a radius of a hundred miles."
Within it, even the earthly immortals dare not approach. Those sword energies alone are already a small world! It’s just that Mr. Zuo is compassionate and compassionate. In order not to accidentally hurt any living beings, Mr. Zuo went to sea to visit the immortals and stay away from the human world..."
He shook his head left and right and said: "It's not that exaggerated. Back then, as long as you restrained your mind, your sword energy would not hurt others."
She sighed: "Mr. Zuo is really strong!"
Zuo Zuo said: "Water Goddess Empress can just call me Zuo Zuo. I don't deserve the title of 'Sir'."
She shook her head vigorously and said: "No, no, it's tacky to call me Mr. Zuo. It would be tacky to call me Sword Immortal Zuo. There are actually many sword immortals in the world, but not many real scholars in my mind. As for calling him by his first name, I'm not drunk.
, don’t dare, don’t dare.”
Not bothering to worry about this, I stood up, took out a book from my sleeve, and walked towards the buried river god.
She jumped up immediately, rubbed her hands on her clothes quickly, and took the yellowed book respectfully.
Books are the most common material. They were engraved in a small Chinese bookstore in the Middle Earth Divine Continent in the past. Apart from the first edition and the first engraving, there is nothing else to praise. Because the bookseller has mediocre financial resources and the bookstore is not large, paper, fonts,
All aspects of engraving were not top-notch. At that time, the sales of books were not good, so my husband spent his own money and bought nearly a hundred books in one go. He also asked several disciples to go to different bookstores to buy them, because he was afraid that the bookstores would not be able to sell any of them.
When I came out, I felt that I was not qualified to occupy a place in the bookstore, so I threw it into the warehouse and never saw the light of day again.
At that time, Zuo and Zuo were busy buying books separately for several days. Zuo and Zuo would leave every time they paid for the books and go to the next bookstore, so they went back and forth very quickly. Only Xiao Qi had to wait until dark every time.
When I returned to school, I didn't buy many books. When my teacher asked, Xiao Qi answered, and my husband laughed. It turned out that Xiao Qi only bought one book at the bookstore every time, and he would definitely spend a long time chatting with the bookstore owner about the contents of the books.
So much so that most bookstore owners mistakenly think that the book that has been gathering dust for a long time is really a pearl covered in dust. What an amazing sage's work it is in fact? It can be so highly praised by such a talented and intelligent reader.
Therefore, he always had to be skeptical afterward, and then buy a few more books from booksellers he knew well. Then Xiao Qi would remind his senior brother at that time that he would go to the bookstore he visited every few days and buy another book.
He said: "Junior brother promised to Biyou Palace to send a book by my husband, but junior brother is busy now, so I am here tonight just to send the book."
She took the books with both hands and nodded lightly, "I knew Mr. Chen would keep his word, but I never thought that it would be Mr. Zuo who would help deliver the books."
Zuo Zuo smiled and said: "Not only that, the junior brother told our husband many things about the Water Goddess and Biyou Palace. After hearing this, the husband was really happy, so he drank more wine."
She was extremely excited and said in a trembling voice: "Does Master Wen Sheng even know about me?"
He nodded his head and said: "My husband said that the Water Goddess is really heroic and discerning. He also said that his knowledge is still inferior to that of the Holy Master."
The literary sage of the past had beautiful words, but his writing was rigorous, his reasoning was thorough, and his context was clear. Even those who were not proficient in writing could easily understand it if they had a little understanding of the meaning of the text.
Therefore, the old man, whose reputation is no more than that of an old scholar, is known as "the harmony of the three religions and the great achievements of all the scholars".
The Water Goddess didn't know what to say anymore. She felt a little dizzy, as if she had drank ten thousand kilograms of the best wine in the world.
Zuo Zuo said: "It's just that my husband reminded me of this book. It's fine for you to keep it as a private collection for the Water Goddess. Don't enshrine it. There's no need."
She said: "Since it is the teaching of Master Literary Saint, then I will follow it."
Zuo Zuo then took out several bamboo slips, stacked them together, and handed them to her one by one. On the first bamboo slip, six characters were written. Zuo Zuo explained: "This is the word '神', but it was written by my husband in six fonts."
As written, the initial word "神" created by Li Sheng has both pictographic and pronunciation. Since then, it has changed over the years to seal, official, running, cursive and regular script. The general meaning is that it is hoped that the Water Goddess will not forget her duty and continue to protect the water and soil. As for the
These bamboo slips were once owned by my junior brother."
The Buried River Water God took the first bamboo slip and felt that it was a small bamboo slip with six characters. After taking it, it weighed thousands of dollars.
The left and right people suddenly laughed, "My husband was drunk at that time, and my junior brother insisted that he send a few words to Biyou Palace. In fact, my husband has not picked up a pen to write for a long time. My junior brother was there... to supervise.
Sir, I need you to write more energetically, otherwise you won't be able to give it away, which will in vain damage your majestic image in the heart of the Water Goddess."
Some things can be said, but some things cannot be said. For example, Zuo Zuo felt that Chen Pingan was too unruly and did not have the etiquette that a disciple should have. As soon as Zuo Zuo recited a sentence, Chen Pingan called sir, and he slapped him.
Keep up.
Complaints from classmates and beaten from left to right, just get used to it.
He handed out the second bamboo slip to the left and said, "This is the high hope that Mr. Sir has placed on you. I hope you will have success in the future."
When water accumulates, a deep abyss is formed, and dragons are born; when good deeds are accumulated, virtue is formed, and the gods are satisfied with themselves, and the holy heart is prepared.
After handing out the third one, he said to the left and right: "Sir, Biyou Palace and the Buried River God are worthy of this sentence."
If you cultivate your will, you will be arrogant and wealthy; if you are moral and righteous, you will despise the princes.
He handed out the fourth bamboo slip to the left and right, "Before I picked up the pen, I said that I had a big responsibility, so I had the audacity to give a few words to the younger generation as an elder. I hope you don't mind. He also said that as the god of the buried river, in addition to upholding his own integrity, he also
We need to feel more about the joys and sorrows of the people under our jurisdiction. Nowadays, the gods all come from people."
Those who despise etiquette and righteousness but value bravery and strength will become thieves if they are poor and thieves if they are rich.
The last bamboo slip was handed out from the left and right, "He who knows himself will not blame others, and he who knows his fate will not blame God. These words are spoken to you, sir, but in fact, they are spoken to all the scholars in the world."
After receiving a book from a literary sage and five bamboo slips, the Goddess of the River buried her as if in a dream and murmured: "I can't afford it."
Zuo Zuo said seriously: "There is only one thing, I must say a few more words. If you feel that you know Chen Ping'an, and Chen Ping'an is my close disciple, so you are so 'favored' by my husband, then you
Wrong, I just underestimated my husband’s knowledge. The sequence theory of our literary sage lineage should not be understood in this way. First there was the burial of the river water god and Biyou Mansion, and then there was the meeting of the water god empress and the junior brother.
Your sincere recognition of the knowledge of the Literary Saints is why my husband reciprocates the courtesy."
She said cheerfully, "Of course!"
After delivering the books and bamboo slips to the left and right, we will return to Tongye Sect immediately.
She glanced at the night and said, "Mr. Zuo, why don't you drink some wine? Biyou Mansion's wine is quite famous."
To be continued...
