Anecdotes of Li Yang

Chapter 8 The Geometry of Life

Yang Wensheng squinted for a moment to relieve his fatigue, then turned his head and glanced at Liu Shanghe. His sleeping face was peaceful and his breathing was long, so he got up lightly, took the package of calligraphy and painting, gently closed the door and went downstairs.

Yang Wensheng found the place where he rented donkeys and horses yesterday, picked a strong donkey and ran towards the city gate.The donkey's feet traveled very well, but he arrived at Mowen Lake in half an hour.He originally planned to go to the mountain to find the old man, but he saw the old man standing under the crabapple tree in the distance.

The old man didn't seem surprised to see Yang Wensheng coming, he raised his slightly slack eyelids, and said, "Here we are."

Yang Wensheng bowed and saluted, and said: "Senior, it seems that he knows that Wansheng is coming."

Leaning on crutches, the old man took two steps forward and said, "Your Majesty, don't make fun of me anymore."

Yang Wensheng was surprised, "What envoy?"

The old man raised his eyelids a little higher, with a strange expression on his face, and said slowly, "Then why did the envoy come to see the old man?"

Only then did Yang Wensheng quickly unload the package from his shoulders, "Senior, these are calligraphy and paintings that Wansheng bought at a shop, and they are about General Huashen. I would like to ask senior to help Wansheng palm his eyes."

The old man understood: "Since it is his painting, then follow me."

Yang Wensheng followed the old man and walked slowly up Mount Mo. Looking at the trembling figure of the old man, he was very worried about whether the old man would be able to go up the mountain, and even more worried, what should the old man do if he was tired.

"Senior, if you don't dislike me, can I carry you later?"

The old man waved his hand and refused: "I'm used to it, there's no need for it!"

Yang Wensheng was very surprised, but it seemed that although the old man was trembling, he never showed any signs of tripping, and walked quite smoothly. He reluctantly relaxed, and followed the old man up half of the mountain, through the lush forest , but it became more and more sparse, and walked along the stone steps along the mountain wall for a while, and stopped in front of a rather large mountain crevice.

The old man turned his head to look at Yang Wensheng, smiled slightly, and sighed: "I'm so confused, I thought that the envoy came to end this old matter, but I didn't expect that the envoy didn't..." Before he finished speaking, he stopped It turned into a sigh again, and then resolutely said: "Go in with the old man."

With doubts, Yang Wensheng followed the old man into the crevice of the mountain, and the darkness and coldness suddenly struck. The old man had already lit a torch, and the two of them walked for a while on the mountain path that was only wide for one person, and suddenly it became spacious. All the candles on the mountain wall were lit, and the cave was much brighter.

Yang Wensheng looked around, and saw that the mountain wall was smooth, which must have been done manually, and there were mottled patterns carved on the wall, which looked like a map upon closer inspection.

The old man said slowly: "This is General Luo Tang's former military computer room. At that time, it was also very embarrassing. If it weren't for the envoy, General Luo might not be able to survive."

Yang Wensheng said: "Senior has always called Wansheng the envoy, but I don't know anything about it."

The old man waved his hand, signaling him not to worry, "Although I don't know why you don't remember, but you have found it, it's no problem, let the old man briefly describe it."

The old man told Yang Wensheng that he should be entrusted by the king to stay by Luo Tang's side all the time and protect him well until he is successful and famous, and then he can retire.After following Luo Tang for a long time, Luo Tang talked a lot about the envoy.

Luo Tang had no father or mother since he could remember, begging with the little beggars on the street, it was miserable.Once he was beaten, he was nestled in a corner in pain and hungry, and when he was about to die, a shining white robe came to him. This was the last scene Luo Tang saw before he passed out.

After waking up, Luo Tang felt that his body was not uncomfortable, and the white robe brought him a steamed stuffed bun.Luo Tang finished eating in a few mouthfuls, and the man brought him water again, telling him to slow down.

Luo Tang asked who he was and why he was so kind to him.

The man just smiled, and asked Luo Tang if he would like the world to have no child suffering like him.

Of course Luo Tang was willing, so he nodded emphatically.

From then on, Luo Tang followed him to beg for food during the day, and when there was no one around at night, he followed the man to learn martial arts and martial arts, but the man didn't come often, and he always came and went in a hurry.

After a period of time like this, Luo Tang became slightly different from the beggars he grew up with. Once he was guarding his empty bowl on the side of the street, a sedan chair stopped in front of him and asked him if he would like to Go to Li's house.

Luo Tang agreed.In Li's mansion, he was doing all kinds of trivial things during the day, and waiting for the envoy to come to him at night.But after waiting for two years, when Shi Jun reappeared, his expression was a bit wrong, not as calm and elegant as usual.

When Shijun asked him how he had learned in civil and martial arts in the past two years, Luo Tang played vigorously for a while.

Shi Jun nodded in admiration, and told him to join the army if he found a chance, and their fate ended here.

Luo Tang was stunned, although he already knew that Shi Junjue was very human, but he didn't expect that when the farewell came, he would be a little bit reluctant.

Shijun patted him on the shoulder in relief, and said, a hundred years is fleeting, and the origin and extinction are like nothing, I hope you will not be in vain.

Luo Tang really did not live in vain.From an unknown pawn to a general with less than one man and more than ten thousand people, his life has been considered vigorous, but at the end of the day, a big event happened.

Yang Wensheng listened carefully and said, what happened?

There was a spy in the army, and he hid Luo Tang in Liyang Valley. Emperor Gaoyang was furious, and ordered the encirclement and suppression of the spies, and surrounded Luoyang Valley completely. Out of Luotang.

The fire was raging, Shi Jun finally appeared, and he ordered me to retreat back to Moshan, saying that he would come to me after something happened, so he rushed into the fire.I didn't know that Luo Tang would never come back until Emperor Gaoyang put Luo Tang's general tomb in Moshan.And I promised the envoy that I would protect him for the rest of his life, and I finally broke my promise... I should have confessed to myself by destroying Lingyuan, but the envoy asked me to wait for him, and I have been lingering until now.

Yang Wensheng said seriously: "If Wansheng is the envoy you mentioned, I will definitely not blame you, but only feel guilty. There are variables in everything. No matter who is right or wrong about Luo Tang, I am sure that senior is wrong at all. nothing."

The old man's expression changed, "Shi Jun is like a mortal now, could it be that he is reincarnated?"

Yang Wensheng said hesitantly: "Younger Yang Wensheng, a native of Chengtian County. I'm probably not the envoy you said. It's hard for senior to drag me to talk so much."

The old man snorted, he didn't have the sad expression just now, waved his hands and said: "No, although my memory has been bad and my eyes are blurred over the years, I will not admit my mistake, you look no different from the envoy They are the same, and there is a red flower-shaped imprint on the tiger's mouth on the hand."

"It's just a birthmark, it's just a coincidence."

"It's not a birthmark, it's a talisman branded by the fairy world on the immortals who violated the immortal strip. When it is added to the primordial spirit, the state of the primordial spirit is revealed. Although the punished person's immortality is not restricted, the primordial spirit is controlled by the immortal world. Li. This seal is indeed the envoy's."

Yang Wensheng was amazed. He had touched this imprint countless times since he was a child, but he didn't know it belonged to him... Who is he?The beads in Yang Wensheng's arms suddenly changed and became very cold, and he suddenly thought that Liu Shanghe was waiting for him to go to the poetry conference.

So he suppressed his chaotic thoughts, bowed and bowed, and said, "Young man, it's time to go back."

The old man suddenly remembered something, and said, "Farewell, didn't you say let the old man look at the painting?"

Yang Wensheng suddenly remembered the business, quickly opened the package, and unfolded the scroll.

The old man looked at it for a long time, and said: "This painting is for you!"

Yang Wensheng's brain thumped, as if he had been struck by lightning, and the voice of the old man in his ears was faint:

"This is the envoy painted by Luo Tang. I still vaguely remember that he painted such a painting. The signature is also his name. Originally..."

Yang Wensheng was dumbfounded.

Some fragments were squeezed into his mind scatteredly, as if his head was going to be squeezed and exploded, and the beads in his arms became more and more icy. In this cold grotto, he could hardly bear it, and his whole body stiff.

There was a fishy sweetness in the heart, and the sky was spinning, as if sinking into the bottom of an endless dark lake.

At the entrance of the mountain crevice, a man in blue and white was leaning against the stone wall, his knuckles turning white as he held his fan tightly.
