Chapter 134 Conversation between the mountains and fields
I?
Xia Shang looked around and came to the old man's side in confusion.
The old man smiled and was very kind, giving people a sense of intimacy without being dignified. He patted Xia Shang on the shoulder and said, "Come with me."
After that, he walked aside to a deserted place.
Everyone looked at the old man, no one knew his identity, but his calm and calm demeanor gave people an unfathomable feeling that he must be someone of extraordinary status.
But the situation is critical now, and the bandits at the foot of the mountain may come after them at any time. Those are murderous demons who do not blink an eye!
The fire is burning to his eyebrows, why is this old man so calm?
Xia Shang frowned and walked step by step behind the old man.
Xia Shang had always had a secret secret guess about this old man, but he was not sure about it. Seeing how peaceful he was, he became even more suspicious.
Who is this person?
With your back to the mountain road, in front of you is a place of smoke and clouds covered with thorns. I don’t know what kind of mountains are hidden deep down.
Behind you are the beautiful mountains and rivers of Liuzhuang, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and vast sky and high ground.
In front of us are mountains, mountains and mountains, rising and falling, one mountain higher than the other. As far as the eye can see, there are clouds and mist, and even the scorching sunlight cannot penetrate them.
Who would have thought that there would be such vast mountains and wilderness hidden behind Liuzhuang?
However, an old man in his twilight years was holding his hands in front of him, looking up high, but he remained calm and motionless.
"Old man, the thief at the foot of the mountain..."
"Xia Shang, right?"
Xia Shang was stunned and replied: "Yeah."
"You answered very well just now."
"The old man was joking, 'Confucianism' is an ever-changing thing, but the understanding is different, there is no good or bad distinction."
"I said it was the 'kingdom' in your mouth."
"Jiangshan?" Xia Shang was stunned for a long time, and suddenly realized, "The old man has been listening to us?"
The old man turned around, nodded and chuckled: "Is it reasonable for a young woman to use 'kingdom' as her title?"
"'Jiangshan' is the question asked by the old man?"
The master couldn't deny it, and smiled lightly: "Everyone here uses the theme of 'country and mountains', or praises the mountains and rivers, or expresses their feelings. They are just overlooking the mountains and rivers from the perspective of a king, thinking that their poems are soul-stirring and will shine through the past. Little do they know that this is
How can the word "country" be mentioned by ordinary people?
If you are not in a high position, you will never feel the beauty of the country, the soul of the country, and the weight of the country. How can you express the essence of the word "country"? Only you, a kid, stand in your own position and see these mountains and rivers.
, talking about the ambition to serve the country. If everyone in the Chinese Dynasty is like this, why worry about the world being unhappy?"
At this point, the old servant behind the old man interrupted with a smile: "Old man, you chat here first, I can come back when you go."
The old man nodded calmly: "Don't let anyone disturb my enjoyment today."
The old servant responded and turned around to go to the intersection on the mountain.
At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowded place. The thieves who came down from the mountain were already in front of them, and their indifferent shouts could be clearly heard.
"Run? You like running, don't you? Whoever dares to move again, I will take off his leg!"
The man in white at the head was cursing, shaking his head and exuding an air of hostility, as if he didn't care about anyone.
The road up the mountain was extremely shaky. When the group of people stood on the top of the mountain and were about to arrest everyone, a kind-hearted old man half-crouched in front of more than a dozen men in white.
This old man seemed to be in an ancient well, frail and motionless even as he stood there.
Anyone can easily bypass him and enter the plains full of tea trees.
However, when they saw this old man, all the people in white clothes stopped where they were, dumbfounded for a while.
Somehow, I always feel that there is an insurmountable mountain in front of me, and it is like an invisible barrier that prevents people from taking another step forward!
The old man smiled without saying a word or making a sound. He just stood there like an ordinary old man.
Xia Shang looked behind him, watching the old man's movements, and even he felt an unfathomable sense of pressure. It was like there was a huge black hole hidden under this calm back, and any thoughts that tried to test him would be swallowed up by it.
"Stop looking, let's continue chatting." The old man smiled and patted Xia Shang's shoulder again, then stood with his hands behind his hands and continued to be intoxicated in this undiscovered primitive mountain wilderness.
"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living and the people, carry on the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations. Is this really what you thought of?"
Xia Shang turned around and touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed: "That's right."
"Really?" The old man was confused for the first time. He looked at Xia Shang curiously and then laughed again, "What an interesting person. No wonder Lu Xun chose you."
Lu Xun!
Xia Shang's heart trembled.
What happened to Lu Xun can be said to be the only thing Xia Shang did that made him feel guilty.
Even after a long time, I still can't forget it.
The word "Lu Xun" has become a knot in Xia Shang's heart. He always has a strange feeling when he hears it.
Xia Shang tried hard to restrain himself and prevent the old man from seeing his guilty conscience.
But at this moment, the old man's eyes did not change at all, as if everything was under his control.
"show me."
"Look...what are you looking at?"
"Waist badge."
Xia Shang was shocked and thought that the other party really knew everything. After a little hesitation, he took out his belt card and handed it to the other party.
After getting the waist tag, the old man seemed to have remembered something sad. He turned around and lowered his head, touching the deep and shallow nail marks on the waist tag and sighed softly: "Eighteen marks. In just thirty years, this brand has changed.
Eighteen masters."
"What?!" Xia Shang turned pale, "Eighteen owners have changed in thirty years!"
The old man raised his head and sneered: "What? Are you scared?"
"me……"
Xia Shang didn't know how to answer, but he was complaining secretly in his heart.
"On average, the property will change owners in less than two years. Can we not be afraid?"
It's not what the old man said, but Xia Shang really doesn't know the story behind this waist card.
"Old man, I...can I give it back?"
"Return?" the old man asked back, but he was not angry, "You haven't taken over yet, how can you return it?"
Xia Shang didn't understand and waited for the old man to continue.
The old man reached out to his waist and took out a waist badge. The style and size were exactly the same as those of Xia Shang, but what was engraved on it was a dragon head with an open mouth showing off its power, and the word "一" was also engraved in the mouth of the dragon!
"It is said in the capital that 'tiger is the birthplace of dragon'. In fact, the true meaning of this belt is 'dragon coils and tiger sits'. Those who can bear this belt must be able to bear the word 'kingdom'! Although you were previously
That's a good answer, but it's an escape. You are not prepared at all now."
The meaning of the old man's words was vague, but one thing was clear: I was not strong enough to bear this waist card now.
So just right!
"Old man, since you said it, why not take this sign back and choose someone else."
"This is not a choice between you and me. This is Lu Xun's choice. I believe in Lu Xun's vision, and I also want to see how you will change in the future. You'd better put your cards away and hide in the market first.
When one day you feel ready, come to the capital and find me." (To be continued)
