Three years later, Zhang Su was eighteen years old. He was clean and handsome, bright and clear, like the wind under the bamboo and the moon above the pines. He was praised by the people in the mountains as the four beauties of heaven, namely: the gods are beautiful, the clothes are simple and the sword is beautiful, the eyebrows are clear and the eyes are beautiful, and the spirit is perfect.
show.
The Taihuang Shen Tian Jue, which is held every six years, is approaching, and there is a lot of discussion up and down the Qingcheng Mountain, everyone thinks that Zhang Su should participate in the competition. At this time, Li Suifang is still in retreat, so the four elders of Qingcheng make a decision to recommend Zhang Su to fight, and he will be awarded the sword in the Shangqing Palace.
Zhang Su accepted the sword in a daze, and returned to the hospital with Zhang Baoshan to pack his luggage. He asked doubtfully: "Master, why did you choose me to fight the Taihuang Shen Tian Jue?"
Zhang Baoshan said in surprise: "Don't you know?"
Zhang Su said blankly: "I don't know, why?"
Zhang Baoshan scratched his head and said, "Isn't that right? No one told you?"
Zhang Su said: "No."
Zhang Baoshan said with a smile: "Grand Master Tai said that you have a chance, but after all, you have not received Lao Jun's true energy. Our Grand Master Hua Yue has left the purest Supreme Forgetting Sword Realm in the Taihuang Divine Realm. The elders hope that you will realize it first."
Qingyou Swordsmanship."
Zhang Su said in confusion: "Isn't my wife's master also in the Supreme Forgetting Sword Realm?"
Zhang Baoshan said with a smile: "Master Tai is in seclusion. Before going down the mountain, let's go to Laojun Pavilion to say goodbye."
Zhang Su scratched his head and said, "Why did Master Taizu stay in seclusion for so long?"
Hearing this, Zhang Baoshan looked at Zhang Su and thought to himself: Su'er is more stupid than me. Is the opportunity mentioned by Grandmaster Tai right? "Haha, you asked." Zhang Baoshan said with a smile, "Of course it's a secret.
It’s leaked.”
"Oh." Zhang Su was thoughtful, but still confused, and said with a naive smile, "Nevermind, I'll just go to Luoyang."
The master and the apprentice packed their luggage, and it was getting late. Zhang Baoshan cooked a few side dishes himself, and dug out a jar of sake. He said he had brought it back from Fengshen Winery sixteen years ago and had buried it in the yard.
I originally wanted to wait until Zhang Su was old enough to dig it out, but the plan couldn't keep up with the change. Now that Zhang Su is going down the mountain, it is so important that I have to take it out in advance.
Zhang Su smelled the aroma of wine and asked, "Master, what kind of wine is this? It smells so good."
Zhang Baoshan said with a smile: "This is called Tuanlu, and it's Abi... Hi, now I should call you Aunt Feng. Aunt Feng personally brought it to me as my teacher back then. Most people can't compare with it."
Zhang Su drank a few drinks and felt a little dizzy. After a while, he couldn't hold on any longer. Zhang Baoshan laughed and said, "Get some more rest. Get up in the morning and feel refreshed!" A man who was sober seemed lonely, thinking about this.
After eighteen years of grievances and resentments, Zhang Baoshan suddenly raised his neck and took a swig. Unconsciously, his eyes were blurred. He turned the wine jar upside down and poured it on the ground. He murmured: "A Su, Su'er has this opportunity. You know what you know under the spring."
, you should also be happy.”
Early the next morning, Zhang Su woke up and heard a noise. When she walked out of the yard, she saw Zhang Baoshan breathing heavily. After watching for a while, Zhang Baoshan stopped, turned around, and said with a smile: "Master, did you get me drunk?"
"Haha!" Zhang Baoshan smiled brightly and said teasingly, "A person who gets drunk when he smells the aroma of wine dares to say the word 'drink'? Let's go to Laojun Pavilion to bid farewell. We will see you off later."
Zhang Baoshan carried his baggage and moved swiftly.
Arriving outside Laojun Pavilion, both master and disciple knelt on the ground and bowed three times. Zhang Baoshan reported: "Grand Master, disciple Zhang Baoshan, has been ordered to accompany his disciple Zhang Su into Luo to participate in the Taihuang Shen Tianjue, and I came here to express my gratitude.
Master, I would like to say goodbye, please give me your instructions."
"Su'er comes forward."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Su turned around and looked at Zhang Baoshan, stood up and approached Laojun Pavilion. When he wasn't paying attention, a burst of true energy suddenly entered his body!
"Mrs., ma'am..." Zhang Su was caught off guard, lowered his head to check his body, and said something offensive.
"It's Laojun's true energy. You can use it."
Zhang Su said happily: "Yes!"
When going down the mountain, Zhang Baoshan touched Zhang Su's body all over and said with a smile: "Outsiders think that all of us Qingcheng Mountain disciples can practice Laojun's true energy. They don't know that what we practice is just the way of practicing the world. I have learned the real Qi."
Xianqi, don’t be shy.”
Zhang Su's face was filled with joy and pride. He raised his head and said, "It's all on me. Master, feel free to touch it!"
"Enough, enough, if you touch it again it will float." Zhang Baoshan walked briskly and came to Shangqing Palace with Zhang Su.
I paid homage to Cui, Tang, Wu and Zhou Lao, and then held a farewell ceremony, accompanied by the four elders. From the Shangqing Palace to the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, there were disciples standing on the roadside to pay attention, which was very grand.
Every time Zhang Su passed a place, the Qingcheng disciples behind him quickly followed him, and soon they started to gather together. The disciples following him jumped up from time to time to look ahead. Some disciples were lively and noisy, climbing rocks and trees, laughing and joking.
It is said that after the people on Qingcheng Mountain learned about such a ceremony, they held a lottery in advance - because the disciples waiting in the Shangqing Palace and at the foot of the mountain would most likely stand in the first row with the elders to watch Zhang Su leave, looking at Zhang Su
Turning back three times a step, everyone waved goodbye to each other, reluctant to leave. The sense of ceremony was particularly strong. All the disciples wanted this opportunity. For the sake of fairness, the four elders of Qingcheng decided to draw lots to select the lucky disciple! Many years later, I was lucky enough to participate in today's farewell ceremony.
No matter where I am or where I am, my disciples always get their eyes shining brightly whenever they mention "Su Zhenren".
"Su'er, let's go. I can't see anyone anymore. Are you so reluctant to leave?" Zhang Baoshan accompanied Zhang Su and turned around frequently, making a meal like he was riding a carriage. He was very dizzy, but with a happy face.
He said teasing words.
When Zhang Su was on the mountain, there were still people surrounding him, and he was in a high mood. After coming down the mountain, he suddenly thought that he would not be able to see the people on the mountain for a long time, and he felt a sense of separation and farewell. He waved his hand and resigned, feeling quite depressed.
"Okay, let's go to Luoyang to win glory for our master. Be excited." Zhang Baoshan comforted him, and he began to admire it, "Speaking of Luoyang City, there are heroes and beauties, strange people and strangers, wine ponds, meat forests, and a colorful world. Su'er has it all.
, you have to maintain a positive and high-spirited spirit at all times in order to get them."
According to Zhang Baoshan's wishes, he stayed one night in Jincheng to let Zhang Su see the world first, then left Shu, passed through Hanzhong, walked to Chang'an, and entered Luoyang.
Hearing that he was going to stay in Jincheng, Zhang Su said: "Master, let's go to Fengshen Winery and get another pot of Turquoise. It's very fragrant."
Seeing Zhang Su take the initiative to mention wine, Zhang Baoshan exclaimed and said loudly: "It's enlightening. If Aunt Feng hears that you have a chance, she will give you a bottle!"
Fengshen Wine Residence is located sixty miles southeast of Jincheng, and stands in the hometown of Peach Blossom. There is a custom that "wine cannot come out of Shu".
The so-called "wine does not come out of Shu" means that it only does business for merchants from Shu. Merchants from Shu such as Jincheng Sanhualou can purchase and stock up goods, but they must strictly follow the rules of the wine house when selling wine. If they violate the rules,
, the consequences are serious; if a visitor from other provinces buys a pot of wine, he can dispose of the purchased wine as he pleases. If he buys two or more pots of wine, except for one of the pots, which can be disposed of at will, the other drinks must be consumed on the spot.
Visitors from other provinces come to Sichuan because of its reputation, so naturally they will not cause trouble. Shu people are proud of Fengshen Wine Residence, and they will not waste their own treasures.
This "proud" has a deep origin.
There is a rumor among the people of Shu: The saint wanted to drink the wine from Fengshen Winery, so he sent an imperial envoy to get it, but he could only bring a jug! Later, there were rumors that the best tasting wine was to drink it in the drinking room outside Fengshen Winery.
, more and more people went to Fengshen Winery to buy wine and drink it.
The merchants of Jincheng Sanhua House were anxious and came forward to ask the big shopkeeper of Fengshen Wine House, the owner of Fengshen Wine House, to negotiate. The owner of Fengshen Wine House was also afraid of the coming and going of people, so he announced to the public the seventh and fifteenth days of every lunar month.
, on the 23rd, wine will be released for these three days, and the limit will be limited. After three hundred bottles of wine are sold, the guests will be sent away behind closed doors.
I have to say that this is a good idea that kills three birds with one stone. Firstly, the merchants waiting for Jincheng Sanhualou are happy; secondly, the owner of Fengshen Winery does not have to be disturbed by drunkards every day; thirdly, drunkards
We come here three times a month, which is a ritual.
Today, the bluestone wine transport path leading to Feng Shen Winery was crowded with pedestrians more than usual.
A few days ago, Fengshen Wine House released news - on the fifteenth day of this month, Aunt Feng will not only sell wine as promised, but also sell 300 more pots. Not only will she sell 300 more pots, Aunt Feng will also perform a sword dance to entertain!
There were people A and B on the road, talking about something they had heard from hearsay. A said: "Have you heard that the boy who plays drums and cheers for Aunt Feng is the young master of the Wen family in Huanhuaxi! Mr. Wen!" B said: "Wen is a shovel, Wen.
What a great family? He is lucky to be able to play drums for Aunt Feng!" A said angrily, "That's right. Although the Wen family is rich, if you give me a choice, I would rather play drums for Aunt Feng than be a guest of the Wen family.
.”
Suddenly, a voice came from behind and said, "What if the Wen family gives you one thousand taels of gold and guarantees that you can drink wine from Fengshen Winery three times a month?"
A and B both turned around and saw a middle-aged Taoist priest with a smile on his face, and a quiet and handsome young Taoist priest next to him. They both sighed in their hearts: Oh my god! A still wanted to reply, and said with an apologetic smile: "
As the saying goes, we are blind when it comes to money. Since we are common people, how can we avoid it?" Looking at the middle-aged Taoist priest leading the young Taoist priest to the front, he snorted coldly and said: "Where did you come from, such a stinky Taoist priest, showing such a face?
Come out and let me see what you can do!"
The two Taoist priests were Zhang Baoshan's master and disciple. Zhang Baoshan led Zhang Su to the front, smiled and said to his disciple: "Su'er, Aunt Feng's real name is Wen Rubi, she is the aunt of Mr. Wen that the two people mentioned just now.
You just talk nonsense when you don't know anything, haha." The master and the apprentice walked to the main entrance of Feng Shen Winery and walked to the right. There was an archway with a big word "Drink" on the top of the archway. Under the word "Drink" there was a horizontal plaque that read "Meet friends with wine."
"Four words, there are two long wooden plaques on the left and right, with a couplet written on it:
The swordsman came out of my house and became famous all over the world; the wine god came into my fight and was heard all over the world.
