Chapter 132 A bowl of tribute to the past
Yin Shiniang turned around and her face turned horny.
Gu Liubai smiled so hard that his mouth was tilted.
However, he changed his face in one breath, stopped smiling, and shouted Yin Shiniang with a serious look, "Shi Niang, I have something to ask you for help."
Yin Shiniang also changed her face quickly, turned around and said calmly: "What's the matter?"
Gu Liubai said, "I'm not waiting for time. I'll have to stay in Youzhou for a while. I want you to stimulate Duan Hongxing again."
Yin Shiniang frowned, "What other epilepsy did you get early in the morning?"
"I know that when you fight seriously, she will die if you shoot a sword seriously." Gu Liubai smiled and said, "I didn't ask you to compete with her in swords, but you also know that there are still many talents among the children of the Youzhou family. Even their good teachers in Youzhou are still quite different from those of Duan Hongxing and others in Chang'an cultivation."
Yin Shiniang chewed out his meaning, "Do you want Duan Hongxing to teach them how to practice swords?"
"The practice place in Luoyang, Chang'an, should still have its own set of methods in teaching students. Don't look down on Duan Hongxing," said Gu Liubai.
Yin Shiniang shook her head, "I don't look down on Duan Hongxing."
"I've figured out a way." Gu Liubai knew that he should speak with Yin Shiniang with pleasure, otherwise she would feel that you were unhappy and would not want to work. So he said very directly, "You go and find Duan Hongxing directly, and she said that she can't beat you. Moreover, your sword skills are all killing swords, and you will die if you draw a sword. You can't really use a sword against her. It's better to do this. You each choose a student, teach that student with your own experience and sword tricks, and let the student compete."
"Your method is good, but I'm not interested in teaching other students." Yin Shiniang was a little angry when she said this.
After all, it was just Gu Liubai, who was a student, and she was already a little embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter if you are not interested in teaching other students. Don't you have a ready-made one?" Gu Liubai pointed his nose and smiled. "Among the children of this aristocratic family in Youzhou, who do you think is the least talented person in learning swords? You will deliberately tell Duan Hongxing which one to choose. At that time, I will ask Qiao Huangyun to help me make that person look like that, and compete with the students taught by Duan Hongxing."
"Then no matter how hard she teaches, the students she teaches cannot beat you. She will definitely be more stimulating." Yin Shiniang nodded.
Gu Liubai smiled, "Shi Niang, I think this method can be used when I arrive in Chang'an. Then I will find a few suitable swordsmen to compete with you. If you have a few more methods, these children of the Youzhou family will not lack powerful masters."
He knew that Yin Shiniang could not refuse anything like fighting swords with others.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Yin Shiniang turned around and left.
"Shi Niang, what's wrong?"
He shouted intentionally.
Yin Shiniang didn't look back, "I'll go and stimulate Duan Hongxing now."
Gu Liubai stood up and walked towards the front yard.
Before he could see Zhou Lu'er, he saw Rong Xiu just opened the window and was looking at him.
"Rong Xiu..."
He smiled and said hello. Rong Xiu, who was blushing, had already run over quickly, "Brother...I want me to help..."
She said it was easy, and in my dream last night, Brother Benlang asked her to help give birth to ten, so she almost came over and said, "Do you want me to help give birth to ten?"
Fortunately, she reacted in time and swallowed the second half of the word "Tiger and Wolf".
Gu Liubai smiled and said, "Ask them, if you have time today, I will accompany me to Youzhou City later?"
"I'll ask them immediately." Rong Xiu sighed. She hoped that these people would not have time to let her follow Brother Benlang alone. But even if these people were not available, they would definitely be empty when they heard Brother Benlang's summoning.
"Take us out for a walk?"
"In Youzhou City?"
"I'll go, what earth-shaking event will happen in Youzhou City today?"
When he heard Gu Liubai say he wanted to go shopping with them, the group of children from Youzhou family suddenly had a numb scalp.
The previous time they went out so many people, they saw the Xuanjia Battle. What will happen again when they went out this time?
...
When Hua Cangming and Han Yixuan's scalp also numb when he heard Pei Yunqiu and Gu Ningxi and the children of Youzhou, the family members of the inn were walking in the city.
Hua Cangming was very clear that Gu Ningxi was the source of chaos in Youzhou. Although the group of people in Jitai Pavilion had no definite evidence, they had already confirmed that these people seemed to be unable to afford to offend them.
The Depravity View obviously targeted people like Pei Yunqi, but it seemed to be eaten by the green eyes.
The Depravity View has no choice but to deal with these people in Youzhou, so what is the solution for their Jitai Pavilion?
Every time the spy sent out would faint somewhere inexplicably.
Recently, Han Yixuan simply stopped sending people to watch Pei Yunqiu and other people.
But at present, these people are making big moves in Youzhou City, and it is impossible not to keep an eye on them.
Shortly after Gu Liubai and Pei Yunqi left the gate of the Youzhou children, Youzhou military practitioners who were facing a great enemy and masters from Jitai Pavilion appeared in the surrounding streets and alleys.
In some streets, heavy armor tremble even began to appear.
"Linyi, tell your brother that nothing big will happen today. I just simply wander around the city so that he doesn't have to be nervous."
Gu Liubai asked Hua Linyi to go and talk to the military figures in the alley.
In fact, today, he really just wanted to quietly stroll around Youzhou City.
Xie Wan is dead, the dust in the headless Bodhisattva Temple has settled, and the leader of the Buddhist sect in the Western Regions has reached the conclusion. In addition, the handling of the Jin family has been completed, and Mrs. Zou is much stronger than he imagined, so his layout in Youzhou has also been achieved.
Next, just wait for his knife quietly.
From outside the pass to Youzhou, along the way, there were bloody storms and conspiracies and murders. At this time, we can finally take a quiet look at the scenery and the city where Liang Fengning had been staying for a long time.
This is just an ordinary city for most people living here, but for those who rarely travel around the cold, desert, wind and sand, which are rarely visited by people, this is a beautiful place that exists in their thoughts.
No one is lonely and lying in the wind and sand, guarding the border city. Where can the calm smoke from cooking in such a city be curling?
He wanted to quietly walk through the streets and alleys like Liang Fengning back then, and then go to see the small wine shop where Liang Fengning drank back then.
Pei Yunqiu could understand Gu Liubai's mood.
Liang Fengning had already stayed on the hillside outside the pass.
He can never return to this city that brought him many memories.
She could also understand Gu Liubai's intention.
After walking outside the pass, especially after seeing the old soldiers of Heishawa who were basking in the sun in the corner of the wall and roasting mice in the granary, she realized that the life that many people despise is something that people dream of.
These children of Youzhou families usually float in the sky like her, and even if they go out, they may not be truly down-to-earth.
Almost no one took them to see the fireworks behind those real heroes.
...
The wine shop is very small.
There are only three tables, and none of them can be placed side by side, they are just lined up straight.
This wine shop is by the river, like an alley between two houses near the river, and a ceiling is added on it.
There is a large apricot tree in front of the wine shop.
Behind the river, there is a pomegranate tree with lumps on the surface, and a small pier that surrounds the pier with a circle of stone railings. Those who drink too much can lie down on the stone railing and spit out.
Of course, there are many people who have fallen into the river, so there are several large pieces of driftwood under the pomegranate tree.
The river is not deep, and adults can only barely cross their chests when they stand inside.
But people who drink too much can make it at any time, and there are really people who drowned in it.
The kitchen is right next to the river, with a stove next to the back wall, and the smoke duct comes out of the wall.
In addition to this stove, there are five or six charcoal stoves on the wall on the same side. The stoves are stewed with various braised dishes. In addition to chickens and ducks, they are all pigs going into the water.
There is no morning drinking atmosphere in Youzhou City. It is still a while before ordinary people in Youzhou City eat. There are only two diners in the wine shop, and there is only an old man working lazily in the shop.
The old man broke one leg and leaned on a wooden stake to make a crutch with his left hand. He almost relied on one right hand to work.
When Gu Liubai and others walked to the door of the store, the old man realized that something was wrong today, and a group of customers who seemed to have never appeared in this small wine shop in the past.
He was a little confused.
But no matter what kind of guests come to the door, you still have to greet him.
He stepped forward with a cane and said, "There are turbid wines in the small shop and new wines. I wonder what the guests want to eat?"
Gu Liubai smiled at the old man and said, "Nothing is good, don't want it."
Not only this old man, but even the two diners in the shop were stunned, thinking that the boy was here to find fault.
But Gu Liubai continued: "If there is any tiger bone wine and the aged amber wine in your attic, you can take it out and drink it."
The old man's breathing suddenly stopped.
His gray hair was somewhat scattered in front of his somewhat turbid eyes. He blinked hard, trying to see something from Gu Liubai's face.
Gu Liubai didn't say anything at this time, but just nodded at him.
The old man immediately turned around and apologized to the two diners: "I'm sorry, I'm here today, and the shop can't greet you anymore. Let's close your business for the time being."
The two diners were originally looking at the children of the Youzhou family behind Gu Liubai, and were uneasy. When they heard the shopkeeper say this, the two of them drank the wine from the bowl in a few sips and took out a few copper coins to set it on the table. However, the copper coins were quickly stuffed back into their hands by the old man, "I'm sorry today, how can I still collect your wine money? You come again tomorrow, and you don't need the wine money, so I'll treat you again."
"How can you be so embarrassed?"
Seeing that the two diners were reluctant, they did not stop. After thanking each other, they quickly left.
The old man put away the wine flag and paused for a while, then looked at Gu Liubai who was walking into the shop and said softly: "Who is from outside the gate?"
Gu Liubai nodded and said, "I want to ask if the jar of wine left by Liang Fengning is still there."
The old man suddenly raised his head. He looked at Gu Liubai, unable to speak for a moment, just nodded, but there was tears in the corner of his eyes.
For Yan Changshou and Hua Linyi, the children of the Youzhou family, even if they stayed in Youzhou City for how long they had been, even if they passed by, they would probably not enter the shop to sit down and eat and drink.
The wine shop was greasy everywhere, and the corners were filled with a less pleasant smell. However, at this moment, looking at the look on the old man's face, they felt that the temperament in the shop became completely different.
That kind of extra simple and strong emotion can always easily hit people's hearts.
"Here I am."
The old man climbed up along a wooden ladder.
It is said to be an attic, which is a piece of the roof and roof, and the ladder faces a hole leading to the attic.
The old man climbed up with a crutch in one hand, and the children of the Youzhou family present were worried whether he would fall down.
But he soon walked down the stairs with two jars of wine in danger.
He held a wine jar in his right hand, and a wine jar was stacked on it.
"A jar is tiger bone wine. I drank warm and strengthen my bones in this weather. The jar is a jar of amber wine left by Liang Fengning."
He handed the two jars of wine to Gu Liubai, and then greeted Pei Yunqiu and others behind him, "You all come to the river behind to sit. It's too crowded here. There is no one by the river at this time, and it's pure."
Yan Changshou and others nodded immediately and began to move tables and chairs in a hurry.
These three tables are placed by the river behind, just right by the railing.
Gu Liubai carefully broke the sealing mud of the jar of amber wine, poured a bowl of wine and handed it to the old man, poured himself a bowl of wine, and then said, "Liang Fengning can't come back, I'll toast you a bowl of wine for him."
Although the old man had already expected this jar of wine when the boy mentioned this jar of wine, when he heard what Gu Liubai said and picked up the bowl of wine, the old man still burst into tears.
"Teacher Liang, respect you!"
The old man looked up and spoke, feeling indescribable sadness. He finished the wine in the bowl in one sip.
Gu Liubai drank the wine in the bowl in one sip.
Pei Yunqi and these Youzhou children were all solemn.
"How did Teacher Liang die?" the old man asked.
Gu Liubai said: "At that time, I was still young and didn't know the inside story, but I should have been fighting against the outside enemy, and suffered fatal internal injuries. I died afterwards."
The old man poured another bowl of wine for himself and Gu Liubai. He held the bowl in both hands, raised it over his head, and shouted loudly, "What awesome! Give me to Teacher Liang again! Drink again!"
Gao Yingjie is ready to set off.
Because he was worried that there would be a drastic change in Youzhou today, even though he had the clothes and horses, he still came to the wine shop not far away.
At this time, he was standing in the street holding the reins of the war horse, and he heard the old man's sad voice.
He vaguely guessed what was going on, and his body shook slightly.
He immediately sighed and gave a solemn salute to the old man in the wine shop where he made a sad voice.
Then he turned over and rode his horse and whipped it.
The past has passed away, and future generations should come forward.
...
In the wine shop, Gu Liubai did not tell the story of Liang Fengning’s past over the years.
Shanyin Guard Commander.
The most outstanding Tang Dynasty stake outside the pass.
Intercepted and killed participants in the battle of the Buddhist sect in the Western Regions.
One by one, his past seems to have dissipated with the slowly disappearing of that jar of wine.
The old man with gray hair and a broken leg did not tell his past.
But on this day, these children from Youzhou families who had never experienced real fighting in the border army felt the tragic feeling of laughing out loud and going out to die with a knife.
Those powerful practitioners have more control over their own life and death than others. Their lives are more valuable than those who are mediocre and only know how much they are to complain about destiny. But sometimes, they are not so jealous of their lives.
Everyone who entered the wine shop this day drank a lot.
When he left the wine shop, Gu Liubai asked the half-drunk old man, saying, "Liang Fengning left hastily, so he couldn't take care of you. When he left this world, he left me a message and asked me to come back to ask you if there is anything to help, and whether these brothers have been angry and cannot be satisfied."
"Young man, since Teacher Liang said that, it means you are really a capable person." The old man put some braised dishes in a food box and stuffed them to Gu Liubai, saying, "But, half of our lives have passed. Even if we have some anger, what else can we have to think about now?"
If ordinary people hear this, they may not go into it further.
But Gu Liubai is not an ordinary person. While taking the food box, he exclaimed and said, "Old man, half a lifetime of cowardice should also be punished for half a lifetime?"
The old man smiled at his empty trouser legs, "This is right, but in our Tang Dynasty, someone bullies someone, and others can't bully him."
Pei Yunqi's face changed suddenly.
Even though her face was even redder than hawthorn, the sudden sharp look on her face could not be concealed.
Gu Liubai said seriously: "Is it the one on the dragon throne?"
The old man waved his hand and said, "I won't say it, it's boring to say it."
Gu Liubai looked terrified, "Old man, you said this is boring. I want to hear what's going on. If you don't say it, I'll be drunk and smash your store."
Of course, the old man knew that he was just talking casually when he broke the shop, so he pulled two bamboo chairs and sat down at the door of the shop.
He hadn't drunk so much wine for a long time, and his body was so burning, but he didn't have much strength and was really old.
"This is a fucking conspiracy, oh no, it should be an unreasonable plot."
"When Teacher Liang was there, the one who had the final say in Youzhou was the Jiedushi Ouyang Zhucheng."
The old man said slowly, "Ouyang Zhucheng was originally the emperor's confidant, but he also liked to tell the truth. He had been in the border for many years, and he felt that although he was pursuing the Turks, it seemed that the result of the war was gratifying, but in addition to giving people some military merits and giving the emperor more great reputation, there was actually no benefit. The little gold, silver and treasures of the Turks and the little wealth of the family had long been divided by the Uighurs. He also felt that it was useless to put pressure on Goguryeo.
Li was so scared that all the cities were built on the hills. I didn’t know how many people would die after the battle. It would be better to find a way to win over the Turks and prevent the Uighurs from establishing the country. After a few moments, the emperor disliked him more and more. However, it is said that there were many people in the court who supported Ouyang Zhucheng, and some people in the military interfered, and the emperor could not replace him even if he wanted to change it. But in fact, when Ouyang Zhucheng was asked to come here at the beginning, the emperor had already laid the groundwork before he was allowed to become the governor."
"A saint is a saint. The person who can come out of the intrigue of those princes is really extraordinary."
"He has long given Shanyin Wei Dragon Raising Art. Although this Dragon Raising Art is powerful and is a number of methods in the previous dynasty, he deliberately did not give it all. A considerable part of it was replenishing energy and conditioning. He kept all the secret methods that would not reduce their life because of practicing this method."
"This part of the secret technique also concerns the secret of the magical powers of the seventh-grade advanced to the eighth-grade. When he wanted to deal with Shanyin Guard and Ouyang Zhucheng, he deliberately let the news go out, and then created an opportunity for Shanyin Guard to get this part of the secret technique."
"There are so many people in Shanyin Guard, and many of them are strong people who have survived many big battles. There are inevitably some people who are brave and dare to sacrifice their lives. So some people couldn't help but rob the people who were deliberately released by the emperor and robbed those secret techniques. Then the emperor used this reason to deal with Ouyang Zhucheng, and Shanyin Guard was dismembered beyond recognition. Teacher Liang was forced to leave Shanyin Guard and went outside the pass, because only by using this method to atone for the merits and atonement can the lives of many old brothers."
"Teacher Liang couldn't be dissatisfied back then. The lives of so many old brothers and so many people are still with their families. Who would have to bear the wives and children of so many of their subordinates being sent to slaves?"
"Who should I go to to argue with?"
"If the saint doesn't give it to you, you have to rob it. This is your fault."
The old man finished one sentence after another, slowly stood up and patted Gu Liubai's shoulder, "Young man, we all have already walked almost the whole life and can see the end, but your road is still long, and you don't need to do meaningless stupid things."
"I see."
Gu Liubai smiled, revealing his white teeth.
Gu Liubai stood up and said goodbye and left.
He walked away and the old man burst into tears again, "Young man, see you!"
For some reason, he looked at the boy and seemed to see Liang Fengning's shadow back then.
Pei Yunqi followed Gu Liubai.
She never thought that Miss Pei Er, who was the absolute protagonist everywhere, would be so willing to follow someone behind her.
Just stepping on Gu Liubai's shadow, she felt very warm.
When the old man burst into tears and shouted goodbye, she did not look back, but couldn't help but ask softly: "Have you drunk too much?"
Gu Liubai said, "Not yet."
Pei Yunqi sighed, "I seem to have drunk too much."
Gu Liubai was stunned, "Do you want to vomit?"
Pei Yunqi shook his head and said, "No, I'm drunk, I actually want to kill the regicide."
Gu Liubai, who was in a bad mood, was successfully amused by her.
"You can't easily think of killing the lord after drinking a lot." Gu Liubai couldn't help but smile, "The emperor has made too many plans, and it's not just Shanyin Guard who suffers. Although he bullies people, he hasn't done anything at all. We can't do things at once. What's more, in the world of Li, if you really want to kill him, you really have to change the dynasty. It's not that simple, and we are not so powerful."
Pei Yunqi nodded, "I'm not that comfortable."
Gu Liubai said lightly, "You may not be able to vent your anger. This old man is right. We have a long life. Maybe the slap he slapped out at that time will return to his face in the future. Even a crazy man like Xie Wan dares to use this, and it is easy to have problems with it."
Song Qiu's eyes were a little red when he drank.
I just took a few steps and spit out in the fountain.
The most hateful thing is that he is a practitioner and he has fallen asleep like an ordinary person.
My mind is still very clear.
The more I vomit, the more I want to vomit.
He is also the one who dares to speak the most among these people.
"I love you as well as one, is it so love? You still play with your own people!" he said while vomiting.
"It's heard from you, forget it if you sober up."
Gu Liubai took a deep breath and activated his true energy to easily suppress the smell of alcohol. "But you must understand that some great principles are often just to others and to fool people's hearts. After drinking Liang Fengning's wine today, I will say something to you Liang Fengning said. He said, don't listen to the voices of people outside. When people live, listen to the voices in their hearts."
"Teacher Jingliang! Brother Jing Ningxi!"
Wei Yu suddenly shouted loudly.
“…”
The group looked at the person in amazement.
Wei Yu's expression was as normal as he was, and he looked the best among the group of people, and the least he looked like he was drunk.
But after a long time, this person was actually the most drunk.
His eyes were a little straight at this moment, and his hands were holding a non-existent bowl, extremely solemn.
...
"This girl is OK, she is better than when we were younger."
"The soles of your feet and ass are worn out, and you don't even frown!"
"You don't understand. The butt egg that is polished is tough and elastic at that time, and you will bounce it when your fingers touch it!"
In the wind and sand, several riders who were wrapped tightly with various rags on their bodies looked at the girl bumping on the horse's back not far away in front of them and said jokingly.
Their laughter overwhelmed the wind.
Although their words were vulgar, their eyes were not as lewd as they looked at the girl's back.
First of all, this is the person Gu Shiwu sent him.
Secondly, this girl is indeed worthy of their respect.
Even Han Shan likes this girl very much.
The only thing they couldn't understand was that Han Shan didn't pass on his own practice method to her, and he didn't know what he was fighting with Gu Shiwu.
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and rode his horse to the front of the group.
The climate of this desert is very harsh. From time to time, strong winds are rolled up, and a large amount of yellow sand is wrapped into the air. The sand surface is like a dragon and a snake. Under the sun, the sand shines with strange white light everywhere. Pedestrians often get lost inexplicably and cannot walk out.
This is the White Dragon Pile in Loulan.
At this time, Loulan had already disappeared. Although the White Dragon Dune was a must-pass place for many caravans, it was usually deserted, and only a horse thief called Loulan Ghost Rider hid in it.
It hasn't been long since Lin Yiyi became a member of the Loulan Ghost Rider, but she will no longer get lost in this area and can even be used as a guide for the team.
This talent is naturally moving, but the leaders who can most impress the Loulan Ghost Rider are even the worst. Even some of the environments that are unbearable in the Loulan Ghost Rider cannot bear.
Her trait easily attracted Han Shan's interest.
This big leader of the Loulan Ghost Rider, a strong man outside the pass, deliberately pretended to be an enemy, controlled her, and buried her in the quicksand for many days.
Only one head is exposed outside, and no water is given.
But she held on for five days without begging for mercy.
Han Shan rescued her back until she really had only one last breath.
In fact, these people who have followed Han Shan for many years know that this is a test of Han Shan's admission of disciples.
In the past many years, only this girl has passed this test by Han Shan.
But for some reason, Han Shan did not teach her how to practice.
Chapter completed!
