[Lotus Lantern] Free Sky

"Wuliang Tianzun, you don't have to stick to the teacher. There are many courtyards in my temple. The disciples and I usually live in the backyard. The temple is always deserted. No one will disturb this side courtyard. It's just a hasty preparation. I feel wronged that the head teacher lives in the guest room." A female Taoist nun in her 30s respectfully extended the ceremony of explaining the teachings, speaking in a calm and authentic manner.

"you are?"

"Pindao's name is Ruyue, and his teacher is Yun Zhongzi. The head teacher can be regarded as the senior brother of Pingdao."

"Master, you are too polite." Yang Jian still greeted with some awkwardness in his heart, but his face was calm.

"Headmaster, don't call Ru Yue like that. Although this is not Yuxu Palace, the seniority cannot be messed up."

"Uh, Ru, Junior Sister Ruyue."

"The hot water has been prepared. The head teacher and his party are exhausted, so let's take a rest first. Ru Yue then ordered the disciples to prepare a fast meal and clean up the dust for the head teacher later."

After sitting in the carriage for a long time, I suddenly soaked in hot water, and I felt that my spirit really relaxed a lot.Yang Jian sat in the bath with his back leaning against the barrel wall, almost falling asleep.

"Master, master?"

"What's the matter?" Yang Jian asked helplessly as he opened his thick black eyelashes that had been stained with mist.

"The little dog found a few more versions of Chen Xiang saving his mother, do you want to read it?" Xiao Tiangou asked flatteringly outside.

"Don't watch it for now." Yang Jian lay in the bath, slowly stretched his muscles and bones, and yawned, and said lazily.

There was a moment of silence outside, but the image of the Screaming Dog was still there.

"Is there anything else going on?"

"The puppy has a little thing to ask the owner."

"what's up?"

"Before I came here just now, a mortal begged me fiercely for this book, and said it was going to be burned. I said it was for the master to read and I couldn't give it to him. In the end, he turned out to be disrespectful to the master, and said he was going to burn it. Board, the little dog was very angry, and was afraid that he would really take the book away, so he bit him. Later, Master Hou Yi arrived, and Hou Yi said that it was the magistrate of Yangzhou and his master. Now, Master Hou Yi is The front court greeted the magistrate of Yangzhou, and the puppy took advantage of the chaos to find its master. Master, please speak, do you want the puppy to give him the book?" Although the mountain forest is a bit far away from the city, the prefect of Qin is a soldier. Soon, there was no muddy water, not to mention that those bandits were all ready-made, they were thrown directly into the prison car, and then hurried back again.Because, he heard from his old servant, that an outsider tried to bring the ban/book into the city, is that okay?

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiao Tiangou finished speaking, there were a few footsteps behind him, and it turned out that it was the magistrate who was looking for this place.On both sides of the vestibule are the left and right side yards. Yang Jian lives in the left side yard. The front yard and the side yard are separated by a wall.Yang Jian, who has always paid attention to etiquette, couldn't even take a bath quietly, and felt helpless at this moment. ——The Qingyuan Palace is more suitable for me.Um?How could there be such an idea?Are you addicted?

"You slave dare to bite me, are you a dog?" Outside the door, the magistrate stepped forward angrily and asked the Xiaotian dog angrily.Then, looking at the red lacquered wooden door behind Xiaotiangou, "Could it be that your master lives here?" He wants to see who it is, his old servant outside the city has already said that he is powerful, but he still dares to go his own way , Bringing books into the city is simply not paying attention to him as the magistrate, so he should be punished more!Hmph, if the old man catches him, he will beat him until he cries for his father and mother, and the shit out of him!

Howling Dog seemed to have woken up from something. He opened his hands and blocked the door. The book in his arms fell to the ground.If there is no problem with its sense of smell, the owner should be taking a bath with the obvious water mist in the room.Don't let this barbaric mortal disturb the master!While the master is bathing, he never likes to be disturbed, so he must drive this bad guy away!

Rather than pointing at the Xiaotian dog, the magistrate pointed at the door, and said word by word: "This old man expressly prohibits all outsiders from bringing those filthy books into this city, no one is exempt!" Then Looking at the Xiaotian dog, he said: "Since you are just a little slave who obeys orders, my lord does not care about you. The people inside come out for me, and if you come out a moment later, my lord will increase the penalty by ten sticks. Don't test my lord I have enough patience, I will count to three, if you don't come out again, my lord will have to guess."

The door opened with a "squeak", and a young scholar in white clothes walked out.Because he had just come out of the bathtub, the moisture on his face had not completely dissipated, his slightly curly long hair was hanging over his shoulders, and a silver pendant hung by a black silk thread hung around his neck. The pendant was still stained with water vapor, and his hair The dew is still there.The handsome face that combines the feminine beauty of women in the world and the masculine beauty of men is neither angry nor happy, and the eyes are so flat that he wants to suffocate. The young man just raised his eyes slightly, and he felt As if his body was frozen, he didn't dare to move any further.When I really saw it, it was more realistic than Qin Sheng's portrait.Compared with the portrait enshrined in the ancestral halls of the ancestors, the description, temperament, and even the eyes of the person in front of him are so overlapping and imprinted together.Except for the black robe in the portrait, there is almost no difference.The silver pendant around the neck, the Floating Cloud Profound Fan opened in the hand, and the slim black man standing beside him, are all exactly the same as in the painting.Are there two people in the world who are so similar?No, probably not.When Qin Sheng drew the appearance of the person who gave him the elixir and asked him to find a benefactor, he didn't believe it at first, thinking that Qin Sheng must have a bad drawing.Even if there were such people, they only looked alike, he thought at the time.But now, he feels that everything in front of him seems to be a very unreal dream, but it can't be real anymore.

Seeing that this rough magistrate actually stared at him without blinking the moment he opened the door and appeared, as if his whole body was fixed there, Yang Jian felt strange for a while.I had no choice but to speak lightly first: "What is the prefect looking for?"

Qin Zhifu just came back to his senses, opened his eyes in astonishment, closed them several times, and said: "What's the matter?" He seemed to be asking himself, and then he seemed to finally recover from the stupefaction Come, "Ah, it's okay. It's okay. Excuse me. Excuse me." Saying this, she turned around and wanted to go back home.General, it's really hot and fast!

"My lord, are you confused? Didn't we come here to burn banned books? These outsiders read banned books and bring them into the city, shouldn't they?" The yamen servant said, making a movement of hitting the board, "Look at this kid is very weak, he should be able to improve his memory after a few strokes." These days, a few yamen servants followed the magistrate, hitting people with a board every day, and they were almost addicted.

"Shut up!" Prefect Qin yelled in a low voice while walking outside.

"Qin prefect."

Behind him, the young man called out lightly, the voice was like ice and jade hitting each other, it was extremely pleasant, as if it came from a distant sky.Zhifu Qin felt as if his feet were covered with paint, but he still turned around, but he didn't dare to stare at Yang Jian as unscrupulously as before.Trying to suppress the nervousness and awe in his heart, he took two steps forward and said, "My lord called me, what else can I do?" Surprised by the inconsistent attitude of the magistrate.

"I don't know if the magistrate can stop the ban/book order? The people in the city are already in panic. If this continues, I'm afraid it will cause public resentment. It's really unwise for the lord to mobilize the teachers and mobilize the people for a vain story. , not the blessing of the common people."

"Qin Mo understands. Qin Mo has withdrawn the ban/book order." His attitude was modest and sincere, without the slightest recklessness as when he came here before.

"Your Excellency, please be polite. Then I will thank you, Your Excellency."

"Don't dare. The young master rests, and Qin Mo takes his leave." Saying this, he arched his body, took a few steps back, turned and left.

When approaching the circular arch between the two courtyards, he happened to run into Hou Yi who was rushing over.

"Hey, my lord, where are you going?" In fact, Hou Yi had been standing outside the circular arch, watching the situation here.

Prefect Qin just bowed his head and gave a "huh" before passing by without stopping.

Seeing that the prefect of Qin just now had a gunpowder bucket and had eaten gunpowder, but now he suddenly stopped, Hou Yi suddenly felt bored.Facing Zhifu Qin's seemingly stable but hasty back, he shouted: "Master Zhifu, is this book still burning?"

Prefect Qin didn't stop on his feet, pretending to be deaf and dumb, and continued to walk forward, but his steps were faster.Hou Yi shook his head boredly, and started to walk towards Yang Jian, "This prefect of Qin is really funny. Tell me, don't you, second brother?"

Yang Jian glanced at Hou Yi, turned around and went back to the room without speaking, the door was closed again unexpectedly by Hou Yi.Even Xiaotiangou picked up the book on the ground and prepared to give it to the owner, but before he could open his mouth, he was blocked from the door. "Lord, master?"

Xiaotiangou touched his nose, turned his head and growled viciously at Houyi, the meaning of that expression was very clear, "I blame you!"

Seeing such a howling dog, Hou Yi said very wrongly: "Hey, don't look at me like that, I also forgot that he was taking a bath. Don't you have any responsibility? If you leave the vestibule, you will I don’t know how many turns to make, so I ran straight to this side. The unlucky magistrate saw you coming this way, so he followed your figure and insisted on searching this courtyard.”

"According to you, is it still my fault?" Xiao Tiangou felt guilty in his heart, but his mouth was still stubborn, "You are a god, but you let a mortal walk around here, you are still a witch, I am!"

"Xiaotiangou, I don't think I'm as knowledgeable as you for the sake of my second brother. If you piss me off, I'll stew you!"

Xiaotiangou stopped arguing with Hou Yi when he heard it, and cried "wow", turned his head to the two closed doors, and sat on the ground without any image, still holding his hand in his hands. Those books, "Master, look! Houyi bullied me, master, you have to make decisions for me——, woohoo, ah!" He said, and stomped the bluestone slab under him ground. "I'm not going to live anymore, I'm not going to live anymore, master—ah! Woo——, master, you have to decide for the puppy! The puppy is about to be stewed, master, you can't leave me alone..."

"Xiaotiangou, I didn't mean that." Xiaotiangou's appearance was so sudden that even Hou Yi felt a little uncomfortable, "Well, I'll go first, Erlang, watch your dog, don't let it be stewed .”
