Things in the world are complicated, sometimes smooth, sometimes difficult, but time will not speed up or slow down based on anyone’s mood. After all, the sun and the moon will continue to change day by day. As long as you live, you have to go on, hold on, carry on, and enjoy it.
, and watch on.
This incident made the crow and the little fox not in a good mood, but what can they do? They have to continue to live their lives. Soldiers will come to block the water and the earth will cover them up. When they encounter good things, they will be happy, and when they encounter bad things, they will try to get through the difficulties.
, don’t worry too much in normal times, just act as you like, follow your heart, and that’s probably it.
"To sum it up, I can just make do with it."
I came to Lu Dongbin to protect the future "Eight Immortals" from harm. This job is not difficult, but it is also really boring. I stare at the young people reading and writing every day, refining etiquette articles, bird people and swings, and I can't get any interest at all.
, drowsy and confused every day. Only when Xiao Lu Dongbin was practicing swordsmanship, the two rogue animals could glance at each other a few times. The crow fluttered up and pecked at him for a while, and the little fox used its tail to roll up some stones to attack.
, to tease young people for fun. After all, the two hooligans are well-educated. How can the young people stop their messy tricks? Every time, they are scarred, with a bruised nose and a swollen face. But even if she is beaten often, Junyangzi is always studying.
In his spare time, he practiced sword dancing, because only at this time did he have some connection with "him" when he was a child.
As for why he cares so much about himself and his childhood self, Lu Dongbin doesn’t know.
I don’t know whether it is because he is getting older, or because he is studying more and more, or because he has heard too many instructions from his father and expectations from his mother. Lu Dongbin’s thoughts gradually became very different from those in his childhood. When he was a child,
Although Chunyangzi studied hard, she still had a little resistance, a little grievance and dissatisfaction in her heart, and she was not wholeheartedly devoted to fame. However, the young man who grew up seemed to have forgotten the resistance.
He was so aggrieved that he forgot his own thoughts when he was a child. Even if he did not need the advice of his parents and relatives, he would do his best to read and write, put his mind into writing articles, and vowed to obtain fame and honor his ancestors.
But there are exceptions. Every once in a while, Lu Dongbin would have a sense of resentment, doubt and confusion in his heart. He couldn't understand that all the ministers and workers in the court were all big shots. They were rich in knowledge and talents. They were familiar with the articles of saints and studied the Four Books.
The Five Classics know astronomy from above and geography from below. They are good at planning and judgment. They are omniscient. They inherit the ancestors and grandchildren, and are loyal and filial. But why is the world not peaceful? Why don't all the people live and work in peace and contentment? Lu Dongbin is angry that all living beings are suffering and doubts the merits of the articles and classics.
I am confused whether I should study to honor my ancestors or work hard for the sake of the people of the world.
When there is resentment, it is difficult to calm down, when there are doubts, it is difficult to think deeply, and when there is confusion, it is hesitant and stagnant. In order to vent his emotions, Lu Dongbin could only practice swordsmanship, swinging wildly, and throwing everything out through sweat, but the cheap crow
He and the little fox would always take the opportunity to tease and torture him, hitting him with stones from all directions, leaving him covered with bruises and bruises.
After being beaten, Lu Dongbin was able to calm down for a while and lay down on the bed to sleep peacefully. Even though his whole body ached, he felt very comfortable. It seemed that only in this way could he prove that he was still alive and still the same child he was. After a few days, Chunyang
The boy started to make a fuss again and practiced sword practice irritably, while the crow and the little fox continued to beat him happily, and so on, over and over again. As Lu Dongbin grew older, he practiced sword practice less and less frequently, and finally gave up all his random thoughts and focused on the imperial examination.
While studying, I hope to gain fame and honor my ancestors, marry and have children to continue my family.
In addition to reading and practicing swordsmanship, Lu Dongbin's favorite thing is to correspond with Han Xiangzi, communicate in writing, chat about landscapes, talk about each other's recent lives, and talk about life insights for a period of time. Although they are thousands of miles apart, although there are only a few numbers, they
The love is sincere and makes people happy. However, Chunyangzi always writes letters after practicing swordsmanship. If he is not practicing swordsmanship, he almost never sends anything to Han Xiangzi. So as he grows older, the number of swordsmanship trainings decreases. Two
The letters between the "Eight Immortals" also gradually became sparse, and eventually there was almost no communication at all, which was comparable to the breakup of friendship.
Regarding the severance of friendship between Lu Dongbin and Han Xiangzi, Lu's father felt a little regretful, but he didn't particularly care. On the contrary, he was a little happy. According to what Lu's father heard, Han Xiangzi, who burned the "Danshu Qingzhu" because of one sentence, became more and more angry.
The less he listened to his father's words, he became unruly, paranoid and rude. He reluctantly passed the imperial examination and stopped reading and writing. He had no intention of taking the imperial examination. He spent all day playing around in the mountains and fields with a flute he got from nowhere, wandering around all over the country.
He was addicted to romantic gambling, often got into fights with others, drank too much and was unruly, and squandered more than a thousand gold and silver. This really made Han's father angry, but he could not discipline Han Xiangzi. Lu's father thought that his son would dance happily from time to time.
Jian was influenced by Han Xiangzi, and it was a blessing to break off the relationship with him. He even thought that the two young people should not have dated before.
"How did Brother Han become like that?" One day, before the Spring Festival in the capital, Lu Dongbin talked about Han Xiangzi's current situation. He immediately felt sad and hated him for wasting his talent. "If this is the case, will there be a chance to take the top prize in the future? How can he get into it?
As an official, how can you glorify your family, marry a beautiful wife and have a son? Alas, Brother Han is not working hard enough." For this reason, the young man wrote a letter to Han Xiangzi for the first time without practicing swordsmanship, reminding him that he must
You have to take exams and gain fame.
Letters have crossed the sea of clouds and books have crossed the mountains and rivers. Lu Dongbin's words of reminder to Han Xiangzi reached the Han family smoothly. On that day, Han Xiangzi had just wiped out several groups of bandits entrenched in the mountains and forests of Linxian County and distributed the treasures gathered by the bandits to the people.
, and accompanied by several beautiful village flowers, they played music, gambled, drank, and had a great time. When he woke up, the rich man found that the people were gone, the beautiful girl was gone, and the gold and silver jewelry on his body were also the same.
After throwing it all away, there was only a bamboo flute left with him, but he was not impatient. He stumbled, stumbling, scurrying home in tattered clothes, and just happened to take the letter from the angry Father Han.
"Oh~?" He opened the letter with joy, but was disappointed. The text sent by his friend who had not corresponded for several years made Han Xiangzi frown slightly, not happy, "Imperial examination? Number one scholar?"
"Yes! Exam!" Han's father gritted his teeth and said, "Have you forgotten all about it?! You just ran around and forgot about the imperial examination, right?!"
"Well, I forgot." Han Xiangzi said with a smile, "If you forget, just forget it. You won't pass the exam anyway."
"You have to go even if you don't pass the exam!" Father Han's eyes almost burst out with fire. "I also expected you to be a high-ranking official and show off your ancestors like the Changli clan uncle! It's better for you to play the flute all day long and fight bandits.
, looking for flowers and asking willows, gambling and gambling, not reading any books! Why did I raise such an unfilial son like you!?"
"Father, calm down, calm down. My child is going to take the exam. Go and take the exam. Don't be angry."
If Han Xiangzi doesn't drink or get drunk, he is actually very filial and polite. Although his martial arts skills are high, he conquers all over the county and is powerful in four counties. The green forest tycoons are afraid when they hear his voice and are shocked by his name.
Judging from his body shape and posture, there is really no domineering or mighty one. Instead, he is elegant, beautiful, soft and gentle. Han Xiangzi generally ignores harsh etiquette, but he is polite and courteous to everyone, even if he takes care of himself.
Before attacking the bandits, they had to greet others in advance, and sometimes play a song to heighten the atmosphere, which made the bandits angry and annoyed, and helpless because they couldn't defeat them. At this moment, seeing his father's anger rising to the sky, Han Xiangzi hurriedly comforted him.
, for a while he whispered comfort, and for a while he played the flute and extinguished his father's anger with soft and slow music. Finally, after a lot of busy work, Han's father finally calmed down.
The son was willing to take the exam. Han's father immediately asked someone to prepare luggage, dry food, and transportation expenses. Unexpectedly, Han Xiangzi said: "Be prepared for more transportation expenses. If you meet a poor person, you should donate some money. You don't need luggage and dry food. That's fine."
If you have a desire for mountains and rivers, eat fish and insects, sleep on vegetation, and sleep on crocodiles, you don’t need extra luggage and dry food, but you should bring more wine. In addition, if you can, please collect some locations of bandit villages along the way from the government.
, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the exam, so why not kill some bandits and have a peaceful journey, so it's not a wasted trip."
"You!" Father Han's eyes stood upright, wanting to beat his son, "Are you trying to make me angry on purpose?!"
Han Xiangzi hurriedly explained, "Father, please don't get excited. The son dare not make his father angry. Father, if you don't want to listen to your son playing a cheerful tune for you, just pretend that your son has won the first prize in martial arts in advance."
"You!" Father Han said helplessly, "That's all, do whatever you want. Anyway, you should go to the capital as soon as possible. Uncle Changli has already urged you."
"Yes, father, my child will take the exam for the top prize right away."
