Chapter 666 Tao Qian of the South, Cui Hao of the North [Please vote for me in the middle of the month!]
In response to Xue Zhongzhu's words, Wei Shaoqi smiled and said nothing.
The three of them walked out of the underground stone room.
The underground entrance is at a rockery, guarded by several Wufu and Yue girls.
But at the moment, the Wufu Yue girls coming and going around are packing their things and preparing to evacuate.
The entire villa was in a quiet but busy state, and the women were as light and silent as cats.
Du Shuqing, as dull as a gourd, followed Wei Shaoqi step by step, holding "Peach Blossom Spring" in his hands.
Xuezhongzhu walked in the front, Wei Shaoqi was slightly behind this domineering lady by half a body.
After the three people walked out of the underground hiding place.
The nominal hostess of Xuemu Villa, a reclusive young lady who still retains her charm, and her two personal maids, hung silently not far behind them, following closely behind them. She did not look dissatisfied at being ignored.
The candle in the snow did not look back and continued to ask coldly:
"Seeing the light of day again? Wasn't this "Peach Blossom Spring" painted by Tao Yuanming?"
Wei Shaoqi shook his head:
"Half yes, half no."
The candle in the snow is impatient:
"What do you mean? Don't pretend to be a fool or make riddles for me. Please speak clearly."
Wei Shaoqi turned around, took the scroll from Du Shuqing's hand, and carefully touched the shaft.
He held the painting in both hands and walked forward with his back straight:
"The pictures in the scroll are from Mr. Wu's hand, and the two blood bronze shafts of the scroll were made by Tao Yuanming himself.
"The original scroll is a manuscript called "The Peach Blossom Spring", but it has disappeared long ago..."
Candle in the Snow sarcastically:
"What is it made of? I don't know where it was stolen from my sect."
Wei Shaoqi smiled and said nothing.
Xuezhongzhu said angrily:
"Over the past thousands of years, a lot of things from our sect have flowed down the mountain, and a lot of secret Qi refining knowledge has been leaked from the depths of the Queen's Palace.
"I didn't expect that I could catch someone alive today. Although the thief has turned into a handful of loess, Tao Yuanming, a legendary swordsman of Hanshi, actually did this."
She turned her head and looked at Wei Shaoqi and Du Shuqing and asked:
"So, he found the Peach Blossom Spring before he died? In Yunmeng Ze?"
Wei Shaoqi nodded gently:
"Well, otherwise there would be no need for the piece "The Peach Blossom Spring" written in his later years after he resigned."
The candle in the snow chuckled:
"Mr. Wei, aren't you and Li Zhengyan planning to rebel? Why are you taking this picture and searching for the Peach Blossom Land again and again? It seems there is something important in it."
Wei Shaoqi seemed not to have heard and said to himself:
"As far as I know, the original copy of "The Peach Blossom Spring" was in the hands of the Liu and Song royal families in the Southern Dynasty. During the Yuanjia period, a great battle was humiliatingly defeated. It was used as a trophy by the elite cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty, who plundered it and moved it around.
, into the hands of Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
"Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Xianbei emperor surnamed Tuoba, was indeed smart and decisive, and quite powerful. However, this object left by Tao Yuanming was actually specially made for the Liu and Song Dynasties in the Southern Dynasties. Not to mention Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, including the then
Most northerners and barbarians don't know how to use it and don't know its mystery.
"In fact, as long as this "Peach Blossom Spring" has crossed the Yangtze River and left the southern country, it is no different from waste paper and has lost its function."
Speaking of this, he expressed emotion:
"But fate is so wonderful here.
"At that time, in the court of the Northern Wei Dynasty, there happened to be a scholar named Cui beside Emperor Taiwu, who was a son of the Han family in the north. He noticed this thing.
"This man's name is Cui Hao. He was born in the Cui family of Qinghe, a wealthy family in the north. He was a young prodigy with extraordinary resourcefulness. He served in the Northern Wei Dynasty for three dynasties. He was the most important adviser to Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty and was deeply trusted by him.
"Historical books say that this son's beauty is as white as a beautiful woman, but he has extensive talents and is able to study heaven and man.
"He is also well-read in classics and history, and is involved in all the mysteries of yin and yang, as well as hundreds of schools of thought. He is truly a strange person..."
Wei Shaoqi talked about it with great enthusiasm, Zhu Zhongzhong had a cold face.
After listening to it for a while, she felt vaguely that her head was heavy. She usually hated reading history, and she was most annoyed by those pretty-faced scholars who showed off their talents and knowledge and talked a lot.
It would be great if the second junior sister was here, she could pick up any topic, and she could also talk clearly and understandably... Xuezhongzhu suddenly thought of it.
But at this moment, if she doesn't say anything, wouldn't it mean that the noble Yunmeng is a fool?
Xuezhongzhu interrupted indifferently, grabbed a word and asked:
"The Cui family of Qinghe? Is it one of the five surnames and seven hopes? The wealthy family that ranks at the forefront and is the vague leader?"
Wei Shaoqi was slightly stunned and nodded:
"Yes, Cui Hao is the ancestor of the Qinghe Cui family who is now the leader of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes. He is also one of the most proud ancestral tablets in the Cui family's ancestral hall in Qinghe. In the eyes of the people, the Cui family
There is a reason why women are the most expensive among the five surnames."
"Yeah." Xuezhongzhu's expression was indifferent: "Continue."
Wei Shaoqi nodded halfway, took out a white handkerchief, coughed violently, covered his mouth for a moment, and then spoke:
"Cui Hao noticed the "Peach Blossom Spring" and asked for it from Emperor Taiwu. The orthodox historical materials, including the daily records of the emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty, were here, and the "Peach Blossom Spring" was never mentioned again.
.
According to the subsequent official history, Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, under the strong suggestion of Cui Hao, who admired Confucianism and hated Buddhism, carried out a large-scale operation to destroy Buddhist temples in the North. In the end, in the entire Northern Dynasty, only
Three hundred and twenty Buddhist temples can be operated legally, and these Buddhist temples must be painted with Jataka paintings that promote the miracles of the Buddha caused by the Tuoba royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty..."
Xuezhong Zhu looked sideways and saw Wei Shaoqi paused for a moment when he said this.
"What do you mean? Tell me clearly." She frowned and urged.
Wei Shaoqi slowly stroked the scroll of "Peach Blossom Spring":
"So, from then on, Tao Yuanming's "The Peach Blossom Spring" was gone. No, there was still half of it. Only these two axes made of blood bronze were left."
"No more? Could it be that it was destroyed by Cui Hao? Only the shaft was left in the fire."
Wei Shaoqi slowly shook his head, recalling with his eyes:
"Mr. Wu said that a piece of "Peach Blossom Spring" has a total of three hundred and twenty words."
"I don't care how many words it is..." Xue Zhongzhu subconsciously spoke. Halfway through, the words slowly stopped: "Three hundred and twenty?"
She asked: "Is it related to the remaining 320 Buddhist temples?"
Wei Shaoqi said with emotion:
"What a Cui Hao. Tao Yuanming worked hard and devoted himself to create the "Peach Blossom Spring" scroll for the Liu Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties. He dismantled it into 320 characters and installed it in 320 Buddhist temples.
“What was originally limited to the southern dynasties, became the cornerstone of the Northern Wei Dynasty’s suppression of the national destiny in the scent of incense lingering in hundreds of Buddhist temples in the north.
"Including the rebellion in the Six Towns, which Tuoba clan bloodyly suppressed with the edge of the tripod sword in the late Northern Wei Dynasty, it lingered on for eleven years.
"Cui Hao's move will extend the life of the Northern Wei Dynasty for at least eighty years.
"No wonder the Cui family of Qinghe was extremely favored in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and firmly ranked among the top noble families in the north, laying the foundation for the leadership of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, and the ancestral shadow continues to this day.
"What the current puppet Zhou Dynasty, Si Tianjian, and the four imperial guards are playing are all leftovers from Cui Hao's play."
Candles in the snow move forward silently.
"Cough cough cough cough..."
Wei Shaoqi coughed violently and covered his mouth with a handkerchief for a while, but there was a smile at the corner of his mouth:
"One Tao Yuanming and the other Cui Hao are representatives of scholars in the Southern Dynasties and Northern Dynasties respectively. It's a pity that the two lived in the same era, but they had never met due to the estrangement of the Northern and Southern War. As for the confrontation in "Peach Blossom Spring",
I still don’t think it’s satisfying, but it’s still groundbreaking...
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Yunmeng Jianze has always been far away from the world. You are independent and hidden from the world. You are the number one sword sect in the world. You have specially created the position of hidden monarch that matches the sword holder's lineage.
It should be the most original and authentic school of sword holders and sword protectors.
"What do you think of the new school of swordsmen created by these two scholars from the north and the south?"
Xue Zhongzhu in front could not clearly see her specific face, but her tone was a little dull:
"I only have three words."
"What three words?"
"No disciples."
Wei Shaoqi:......
Du Shuqing:......
Wei Shaoqi was startled for a moment, and his eyes fell on the back of Xue Zhongzhu's hand that was tightly grasping the hilt of the snow-white sword at his waist.
This slender hand squeezed the hilt of the sword for a while, and suddenly relaxed for a while. Between the squeezing and loosening, the back of the hand turned white due to blood loss.
Wei Shaoqi laughed dumbly.
This eldest queen is too arrogant, but without arrogance she cannot be the chief eldest queen of Yunmeng Jianze, and she cannot intimidate and suppress the somewhat distracted Tiannan Jianghu.
Moreover, at such a young age, she has reached the highest level of purple energy cultivation. After Tao Gu asked the sword the year before last, she is now recognized as the leader of the sword in the world, and she has proud qualifications!
Du Shuqing, who had been bored all the time, suddenly asked:
"Mr. Wei, since the original manuscript of "Peach Blossom Spring" with 320 words has been dismantled and lost, the original manuscript of "Peach Blossom Spring" now collected by Jingzhao Yuanshi, except for the two missing bronze shafts,
, what happened to the remaining manuscripts that were replenished with shafts, and who wrote them?"
When Wei Shaoqi heard this, his eyes were meaningful, and he glanced at Du Shuqing, who was observing carefully:
"What do you think? How many hands has it passed through?"
Du Shuqing nodded: "I understand."
Xue Zhongzhu's face was not interested, and Wu Fu waved his sleeves:
"Don't praise the dead anymore. You are both scholars, so you sympathize with each other. However, Second Junior Sister has a saying that we should favor the present over the past. This is the way to make progress. I give it to Mr. Wei."
The tall Hu Ji with blond hair reaching her waist suddenly changed her tone:
"By the way, the Mr. Wu you're talking about sounds pretty powerful. He should still be alive, right?"
Wei Shaoqi nodded: "In my opinion, Mr. Wu is as good as Tao and Cui from the Southern and Northern Dynasties."
As he spoke, he lowered his head and gently touched the blood bronze scroll that was restored as "Peach Blossom Spring".
"Oh? Really." There was a sarcastic smile on the corner of Xuezhongzhu's mouth: "Then why didn't he come over by himself? Why did he give this "Peach Blossom Spring" to you, a sick man?"
Wei Shaoqi asked with curiosity on his face: "Who said Mr. Wu didn't come?"
Xuezhong Zhu raised his chin and said loudly: "Where are the people?"
Without waiting for her reaction, Wei Shaoqi casually opened the scroll of "Peach Blossom Spring", pointed his index finger at a little old man on the paper with "yellow hair hanging down and enjoying himself", and asked doubtfully:
"Isn't Mr. Wu right here?"
Xuezhongzhu turned around and took a look.
Behind him, where Wei Shaoqi had been standing, there was a contented little old man with narrowed eyes, standing hunched over with his hands behind his back.
Wei Shaoqi disappeared without a trace, and Du Shuqing turned his eyes to the side unbearably.
"Is the eldest lady looking for an old man?" the little old man asked with a smile.
Xuezhongzhu was suddenly startled, and the snow-white sword energy filled the corridor. The little old man and the painting were motionless, and Du Shuqing took a few steps back.
He immediately reacted, restrained his sword energy, and the blond Hu Ji Yayan cursed harshly:
"Wei Shaoqi, do you want to die? It turns out that your tuberculosis is your own fault!"
…
Evening, sunset.
Snowwood Villa.
The Yunmengyue girls, Wei Shaoqi, Du Shuqing and other guests have all moved away.
But the villa is the same as before, clean and peaceful, with drums at dusk and bells in the morning.
A tall orchid figure with blond hair reaching her waist returned. Respectfully greeted by the young widowed Mrs. Xuemu and a group of maids, she walked into the villa with a cold breath.
After a while, Zhu Zhongzhu's figure appeared in front of the lush grass beside a pool halfway up the mountain.
Her eyes scanned the grass in front of her.
There was a little lolita sitting on the floor dozing off with a floral bundle in her arms.
I got a lot of red envelopes bitten on my neck. Mosquitoes in the wild in spring and summer are still very poisonous. Unfortunately, I met a more ruthless master.
From time to time, Li Shu would raise her hands to scratch her itch, her little head drooping down like the plump ears of rice in the fields in autumn.
She didn't know whether it was something that happened during the day that caused her bad mood, or whether she was annoyed by the niece who was hiding with her.
Xue Zhongzhu's expression was very unkind, he raised his foot to kick...and touched Li Shu lightly.
"I asked you to evacuate with the junior sisters. Why are you hiding here alone?" She asked in a low voice with a cold voice.
"Um... Wuwuwu, Master, Master, you are back... You don't know, the master pretended to move and brought the whole village to act, trying to trick me into leaving, but he said he couldn't take Dabai with him, hehe, Xiao Shucai
If you don’t want to be fooled, why didn’t you bring Dabai? The master is really deceiving a three-year-old child. He just wants to eat it alone behind our backs and the little master’s back..."
Li Shu had a dazed little face, and her mouth was missing her front teeth, so she couldn't speak clearly. She smiled stupidly and hugged Xuezhongzhu's legs.
Candle in the Snow:?
She took a deep breath and shook her legs a few times, but did not get rid of the calf candy.
"You...you..."
Xue Zhongzhu's face looked impatient.
"Shifu... Shifu... I knew you wouldn't abandon Xiao Shu..."
When she heard this, her expression gradually calmed down, and she looked down at the little Lolita who was hugging her thigh.
The eldest daughter slowly squatted down, opened her thin arms, picked her up, put her in her arms, turned around and left.
Li Shu rubbed herself against "Shi Fu"'s arms habitually for a while, and while half asleep and half awake, she muttered strangely:
"Hey, why did the master's ax become bigger and softer..."
Xuezhongzhu tried hard to resist the urge to hit others.
"Well... Master, don't forget Dabai..."
Li Shu rubbed her eyes with one hand and pointed to the pool with the other.
The candle in the snow didn't even look back.
The insect lady swooped down from the sky and snatched a white sturgeon spinning in the water.
Li Shu was satisfied then, but after resting her little head lazily on Xue Zhongzhu's shoulder for a while, she twisted her hips and acted coquettishly:
"Master Axe, when will my uncle come back? Dabai can't wait any longer. Look at him, he's so anxious this afternoon..."
The corner of Xuezhongzhu's mouth twitched.
"It's strange, why is Shifu wearing the clothes of the great uncle? Uh-huh..."
Xuezhongzhu's expression was indifferent, and he raised his hand to cover his small mouth with missing front teeth.
"Uh-huh, wait! I...where is my master's axe?"
"Oh."
Li Shu:……
