Everyone chatted for a while. Wang Lun leaned against the railing to look at the scenery. He suddenly remembered a word and chanted casually: "Beyond the clouds, the distant mountains are towering green, and the distant water by the river is silvery. There are faint sandy beaches, and a few rows of gulls and herons fly up; you can see the distant lake. , holding back several fishing boats. At the red polygonum beach, a white-haired male fished with a hook; at the mouth of the yellow reed cliff, a boy with green buns herded calves and rode an ox.
The rolling snow waves hit the sky, and the cool breeze blew over the water. Zixiao Peak is connected to the sky, and Xunyang Tower is adjacent to the river cliff. It is spacious all around and exquisite on all sides. The shadow of the railing is soaked in the glass, and the light outside the window is like jade. In the past, Lotte had a great reputation, and Sima had many tears in those days. "
Before Wang Lun finished speaking, he heard someone cheering loudly. Wang Lun looked for a voice and saw three young scholars sitting next to him.
The three scholars stood up and came to the table of Wang Lun and others. They clasped their fists and saluted. The fair-skinned scholar among them said, "I'm sorry for being rude. The three students are all locals. They usually like to recite poems and write poems. See you today." The words this gentleman recited were really exquisite, and the students and others admired him very much. They couldn't hold it back for a moment and couldn't help but praise him loudly. I hope it disturbed their enjoyment, so don't be surprised."
"I just recited it casually, which is not pleasing to the ears. It's really a joke." Wang Lun and others also stood up and returned the courtesy. Wang Lun saw that these three people had come to the table. They all seemed to be in good temper. He had just arrived in Jiangzhou. , also wanted to make more friends, so he said: "Since we are destined to meet each other today, how about inviting three of our tablemates to have a chat?"
When the three scholars saw Wang Lun's elegant invitation, they showed no hesitation. They confessed their sins and sat down happily.
Xiao Wu whispered in Ping'er's ear: "These scholars are really sour."
As soon as everyone sat down, the red-faced one among the three scholars said: "Sitting like this is very boring, how about we make friends with poetry?"
Wang Lun was full of "poetry", so of course he wouldn't care, and he readily agreed at the moment.
Seeing that Wang Lun agreed, the red-faced scholar said to the dark and thin scholar, "How about asking Brother Hou to come first?"
The thin, dark scholar surnamed Hou never spoke, and his face was full of sadness, as if he was unhappy about something.
However, the scholar surnamed Hou did not refuse at this time. He stood up and came to the railing, thought for a while, and chanted: "I came to the Jianglou to take advantage of the excitement, and the misty smoke greeted the autumn. I drank wine and poured out the eternal hatred, and recited poems to purge hundreds of people. Heavy sorrow."
Wang Lun and three scholars met friends with poems. Seeing the excitement, the other guests upstairs also gathered to watch a few people compose poems. At this time, the scholar named Hou finished reciting the poem, and everyone upstairs saw that the poem had some artistic conception. They all applauded and cheered.
The red-faced scholar said: "It's better to have fun when you go out to play. Brother Hou, don't worry about everything at home. I believe that the Hou family will make a comeback."
The scholar named Hou shook his head and said nothing. He silently turned around and returned to his seat. The red-faced scholar said, "It's my turn."
The red-faced scholar stood up, swayed a few steps, and chanted: "The smoke scene in the river is out of the world, and the peaks and ridges on the river are crowded with buns. The bright moon makes people disappear, and the yellow reeds and bitter bamboos return at dusk."
The artistic conception of the red-faced scholar's poem was higher than that of the scholar surnamed Hou just now. Everyone cheered again. After the red-faced scholar finished reciting the poem, he said to the white-faced scholar: "Brother Xiao, among the three of us, your poems are the best." Jia, how about you do the previous one too."
The scholar surnamed Xiao said, "You are ugly." He stood up, held a folding fan, gently struck the joints, and chanted slowly: "The carved eaves reflect the sun, and the painted buildings are filled with flying clouds. The green lanterns are connected low to the windows, and the emerald curtains are high to the windows. Blow." There are all princes, princes and grandsons playing with shengs and flutes; there are singers and dancers holding lamps and pots.
To kill the drunken eyes, lean against the blue sky and thousands of clouds and mountains; to seduce the soul, turn over the auspicious snow and smoke in the river. At Baiping Ferry, I often hear fishermen singing their tangerines; at the beach of Red Polygonum, I often see fishermen hitting their tangerines. The green locust trees beside the building are singing wild birds, and the green willow trees are growing in front of the door. "
The scholar surnamed Xiao’s work was even better, and everyone cheered loudly. When all three of them finished their poems, Wang Lun saw that one of the poems of these three people was higher than the others. He thought that it would be impossible to suppress him without using some unique tricks. He paused, pondered for a moment, and remembered an eternal masterpiece.
Wang Lun walked slowly to the railing, facing the mighty Yangtze River, and chanted casually: "The rolling Yangtze River passes eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes; right and wrong, success and failure are all gone, but the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. The white-haired fisherman and woodcutter On Jiangzhu, I am accustomed to watching the autumn moon and the spring breeze; I am happy to meet each other over a pot of turbid wine, and many things in ancient and modern times are laughed at and talked about."
After finishing the word, the entire Xunyang Tower was completely silent. Everyone upstairs was so affected by the artistic conception of the word that they forgot to cheer for a moment. After a while, everyone realized what they were saying and immediately clapped in unison and cheered loudly. .
"Sir, you are a great talent, I will give you my respect!" The three scholars looked at each other and came to Wang Lun together, bowing and saluting. After saying this, the three of them bowed and fell to the ground, and said in unison: "I haven't dared to ask you, sir." Name?"
"Uncle, I'm back." Wang Lun bowed in return and was about to say a few polite words when he heard a sound on the stairs and someone talking loudly downstairs, but it was Dai Zong who came back in a hurry.
When Wang Lun saw that it was Dai Zong who had turned around, he thought in his heart that according to the Water Margin, Dai Zong was with the black whirlwind Li Kui every day. He didn't know if he had brought Li Kui with him at this time.
Just as Wang Lun was thinking, he saw Dai Zong turning his head and shouting downstairs: "Tieniu, hurry up."
"Coming, coming." A rough and majestic voice answered from downstairs, followed by the sound of the stair board, like beating a big drum, and everyone upstairs was attracted and looked at the stairs.
When the people downstairs came upstairs, the people upstairs were all startled when they saw what looked like a black bear climbing upstairs.
Ping'er screamed in fright and hid behind Wang Lun. Xiao Wu was not afraid, but she was stunned, as if she had seen a monster.
When Wang Lun saw the man going up the stairs, he thought he was seeing an African brother for a moment. He saw this man with a body like a black bear, skin like an iron bull, eyes as big as lamps, red-yellow eyebrows, and hair and beard like steel brushes. Generally, the roots are erected, three parts look like ghosts, seven parts look like monsters, but none of them look like human beings. They are really ferocious.
When Wang Lun saw this person's appearance, he knew that this person must be Li Kui. Although Wang Lun had seen countless images of Li Kui in later movies and TV dramas, when compared with the real Li Kui, those Li Kui all became Li Gui. .
Dai Zong led the black man to the front. He first saluted Zhou Tong, then Wang Lun and others, and finally smiled at the three scholars and said, "Brother Xiao, Brother Jin, and Brother Hou are also here." Here, I was about to go to invite you, this is the best place to meet me, I'm here to introduce you to my uncle."
Everyone introduced each other. Dai Zong was very happy when he knew that Wang Lun had arrived. Dai Zong was a disciple of Qilin, so he naturally knew Wang Lun and had admired Wang Lun's reputation in the world for a long time. Although it was his first time with Wang Lun today. They met, but they were also very affectionate towards Wang Lun. Wang Lun also had a good impression of this magical eunuch, and the two of them felt that it was too late to meet each other.
The three scholars introduced by Dai Zong were white-faced Xiao Rang, red-faced Jin Dajian, and dark-skinned Hou Jian.
Xiao Rang and the others had just competed with Wang Lun in poetry, and they were already in awe of Wang Lun's talent. As for Wang Lun being the owner of Xiaowang Village in Liangshan, Shandong Province, they didn't pay much attention to it. However, according to Dai Zong's introduction, Wang Lun was not only extremely talented, In terms of martial arts, he is a top-notch master in today's martial arts world. He can be said to be both civil and martial arts, and he can't help but respect Wang Lun even more.
When they knew that Zhou Tong was right in front of them, Xiao Rang and the other three were even more surprised. They immediately knelt down and knelt down. It was truly a blessing to have the chance to meet the senior master today.
Through Dai Zong's introduction, Wang Lun also knew the origins of Xiao Rang and the others. Although Xiao Rang and the others were also from Water Margin, the life trajectories of the three people in front of him were slightly different from those in Water Margin. .
In this era, all three of Xiao Rang were locals in Jiangzhou. Among them, Xiao Rang was good at writing calligraphy of various calligraphy schools, and was especially good at copying the four unique characters of Su Dongpo, Huang Luzhi, Mi Yuanzhang and Cai Taishi. The writings he imitated were the best in the world at that time. No one can tell the truth from the false. Su, Huang, Mi, and Cai Sijue can't tell the difference even if they see it. He can also wield a gun, wield a stick, dance a sword, and wield a knife, so he is called a scholar with a master's hand.
Jin Dajian was good at carving stone inscriptions and carving good book seals. His metal and stone skills were unparalleled in the world, and he also had solid martial arts skills that ordinary people couldn't get close to. Just because he was the best in jade carving, he was famous in the world. He is known as the Jade Arm Craftsman.
And the sad-looking Hou Jian was the eldest grandson of the famous "Duanyu" Hou family in Jiangzhou. The Duanyu Hou family was the best at making clothes, armor, banners and flags, and all of them were used by officials of the Song Dynasty. It is said to be the leading official businessman in Jiangnan.
Hou Jian, as the eldest grandson of the Hou clan, not only inherited the ancestral skills of needlework, armor and clothing, but also used the hidden weapon of flying needles, and was good at arm boxing, so he was known as " Brabrachia'.
Originally, the Hou family's official and commercial business was going smoothly and steadily. However, in recent years, the Yuan family suddenly appeared, also specializing in the robe and armor business. This Yuan family has a deep relationship with the powerful people in the DPRK. In order to monopolize this business, During the royal special confession, the Yuan family actually colluded with each other to frame the Hou family for fraud and passing it off as good.
The Yuan family was also very knowledgeable, and in the end they convicted the Hou family of a serious crime and took away the Hou family's exclusive right to serve the court. All the elders of the Hou family were imprisoned and all members of the clan were dismissed. They were never allowed to engage in the clothing business again. Hou Jian's Both of his parents died in prison.
Since then, Hou Jian has been thinking about reviving the prestige of the Hou family and restoring the family's past glory. However, the world is so difficult, and several years have passed, but there is still no hope of reviving the family, so Hou Jian is worried every day.
Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian were good friends of Hou Jian. Seeing Hou Jian's worries, they often took Hou Jian around to relieve Hou Jian's worries. By chance, they met Zhou Tong, Wang Lun and others in Xunyang Tower today.
Wang Lun saw that Hou Jian's experience was very similar to his own. They were both responsible for reviving their families and struggling in this troubled world. He couldn't help but feel sympathy for Hou Jian, and he felt comforted by Hou Jian at the moment.
And that big black bear-like man was none other than Li Kui. According to Dai Zong, this Li Kui was from Baizhang Village, Yishui County, Yizhou. He was born with an abnormality, as strong as an ox, and loved to wrestle with oxen. Such a strong cow, no cow can be Li Kui's opponent. The cows in Hexian County all turned around and ran away when they saw Li Kui. Therefore, people in the village called Li Kui the Iron Bull.
This Li Kui has also learned some martial arts, and he likes to use two axes. Although his martial arts are not very high, he is the most brave. No matter how good you are, you still dare to compete, but this Li Kui's character is too reckless. He had a bad temper, got into an argument with someone in his hometown, accidentally beat someone to death, and had no choice but to run away from home. Now he just works as a small cell leader in this prison city and spends his days.
However, although Li Kui is bold and rude, he is also the most loyal and upright, and he is the most averse to bullying the weak. He usually selects those villains who bully good people in prison, sets them against him, and often beats those villains into a state of inhumanity. , just to relieve the anger in his heart, and because Li Kui was black, the people he beat were even darker, so he got a mixed name, and people in the world called him "Black Whirlwind".
Li Kui was often reprimanded by his superiors for this, but Dai Zong admired Li Kui's determination to fight against injustice and always protected him. Although Dai Zong was also implicated by Li Kui for this, Dai Zong never changed his original intention for the sake of his brothers. Only by working hard for Li Kui did he keep Li Kui safe all these years.
And Li Kui also knew that Dai Zong was kind to him. Although Li Kui was confused and stupid, and his temper was as stubborn as an ox, and he didn't take anyone's words to heart, Dai Zong was the only one who could listen to what he said.
