That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 479

The meeting between Xu Beiyou and Wen Ci was neither enjoyable nor disappointing. Although there was some substance, it was more polite and probing, and it was enough to stop.

Xu Beiyou's attitude is very firm, there are some things that you can't decide with kindness, you can only answer by Zhang Wubing, as the saying goes, if you don't keep secrets, you will lose your ministers, and if your ministers don't keep secrets, you will lose your integrity, some words are destined not to be passed on to everyone.

Wen Ci is also well aware of this, so he can only ask Xu Beiyou to stay in the capital city of central Shaanxi for a while, and he will go back to Zhongdu first to see Zhang Wubing.

Xu Beiyou had nothing to do, and with Li Yanliang's company, he just happened to take a look around the capital of Shanzhou, which he had wanted to come to for a long time but had never been able to.

The two of them strolled down the street and saw a noodle stall. The aroma of the authentic Shanzhou spicy oil made people's index fingers twitch and their tongues filled with fluid. Xu Beiyou became interested and asked Li Yanliang, "Something to eat?"

Since Li Yanliang was accompanying him, he had no reason to refuse the guest, so he nodded.

Xu Beiyou saw that the stall was overcrowded, so he patiently waited in line. During the period, a few women with very tough expressions jumped in line, and they were not angry, which surprised Li Yanliang who was on the side. Although he would not take the initiative to bully ordinary people, But he doesn't have such a good temper. If there are such unreasonable "unreasonable people", he doesn't mind being a playboy who bullies the common people.

After finally finding a vacant table, Xu Beiyou ordered two bowls of Youpo Noodles and two plates of Youpo Lazi, and the two of them sat facing each other across the table.

For ordinary people in Shanzhou, the two most delicious things are spicy oil and pickled cabbage dumplings. If anyone dares to say that these two things are not delicious, they must have never tasted these two good things.

When Xu Beiyou was in Xiaofangzhai before, he could only eat dumplings during the New Year and festivals, and he couldn’t let go of them. They were all rare, but occasionally he could eat some oily and spicy dumplings, especially when mixed in noodles. Extra meal.

Today's Xu Beiyou has set foot in the realm of the earth fairy, eating wind and drinking dew, absorbing innocence, earth beauty, day spirit, and moonlight can also satisfy his hunger, and he doesn't have to stick to his appetite. After careful calculation, Xu Beiyou has not eaten such Shaanxi food for two years. The last time I ate oily and spicy peppers was at a roadside stall with Zhiyun in Longnan Prefecture in Xiliang Prefecture. The taste was really unforgettable.

Xu Beiyou subconsciously glanced at Li Yanliang next to him, feeling a little emotional in his heart, the oily and hot pepper is still the same oily and hot pepper, but unfortunately the people around him are no longer, the little Taoist nun worshiped Qiu Ye as his teacher back then, the two had no fate, Jiangdu After a farewell, we will always be strangers.

Although Li Yanliang is a young master of the general family, he is a member of the army after all. He didn't think there was anything wrong with eating like this, and he didn't pay attention to the idea of ​​eating without talking. He sat at the same table and said while eating noodles: "Mr. Xu, I heard that you have Stepping into the realm of the earthly fairy, I am a monk even if I am not talented, but I have followed the path of martial arts. I heard many seniors in the army say that the realm of the earthly fairy in Wuxiu is very different from other monks, so I dare to ask Mr. Xu, what is the realm of the earthly fairy? What a miracle."

Xu Beiyou poured the oily and hot peppers from the plate into the bowl with chopsticks, and said, "Although there are many similarities between the sword cultivator and the martial arts cultivator, the sword cultivator still comes from the Taoist lineage after all. The means, take what the world often says about flying to the sky and escaping from the ground. We sword cultivators pay attention to controlling the sword, and we can probably fly to the sky with swords in the realm of the third or fourth floor of the earth fairy. Taoist monks are even simpler. You walk with the wind, but your martial arts are not good. Even if you can jump tens of feet, it is not flying after all, it can only be called flying. for."

Li Yanliang frowned, and asked: "What do you mean by taking advantage of the world?"

Xu Beiyou took a mouthful of noodles, and said in a slightly ambiguous voice: "That is to take advantage of the situation, to take advantage of the power of the heaven and the earth. In this regard, Taoism is the best. It turns rain into a sword and walks against the wind. It can be regarded as taking advantage of the power of the heaven and the earth. And Wuxiu's lineage is the worst, like a stubborn rock between heaven and earth, out of tune with heaven and earth, don't say it's just taking advantage of the situation, and sometimes there will be acts against the sky, so many great monks think that Wuxiu's lineage proves it by force. Tao is nothing but a fool's dream, and it is hard to find eternal life."

Li Yanliang was not in the mood to eat noodles, he was thoughtful.

Xu Beiyou quickly finished his bowl of noodles, put his chopsticks on the edge of the bowl, and said softly, "Actually, it's very simple. The Daoists worship the Taoist ancestors, the Buddhist sects worship the Buddha ancestors, and the Confucian sects worship the sages. One has to respect the heaven and the earth." No matter how powerful you are, you still have fear in your heart, but your martial arts cultivators don't have any patriarchal teachings, and you don't have much awe, and most of them are lawless people. The so-called use of martial arts to break the ban is just you. .”

Li Yanliang felt as if he was going to grab something, but it slipped away from between his fingers, shook his head, and said helplessly: "Let's not talk about this for now, after Mr. Xu has met the governor, do you want to go to God's capital immediately?"

Xu Beiyou said noncommittally: "I just need to arrive at the imperial capital before the New Year's Eve, so I don't have to hurry, and the northwest is my hometown, so it's rare to come back this time, I don't want to come and go in a hurry, it's best to walk around and have a look , I heard that the white hair disaster is severe on the grassland, after winter, I plan to go to the border of the grassland to see how the thousands of miles are so white and uninhabited, and to experience for myself how severe the white hair wind that freezes people to death is.”

Li Yanliang said with emotion: "Speaking of the white disaster in the grassland, I have witnessed it once, and said that we are bitterly cold in the northwest, but I have really seen the heavy snow on the grassland outside the Great Wall, and I know what it means to be crushed by snow. In some places, the snow can almost be as high as Waist-deep, it’s no wonder that the grassland people have to go south with their lives, it’s true that they can’t live on the grassland, if they don’t go south, they will freeze to death and starve to death on the grassland.”

Xu Beiyou sighed.

Li Yanliang changed the subject, "If Mr. Xu didn't speak, I would have thought you were from the imperial capital, and your accent really doesn't look like you were born in the Northwest."

Xu Beiyou said with a smile: "I grew up with my husband. He is used to speaking the official dialect of the imperial capital. I also learned a mandarin. Although I can also speak the Shanzhou dialect, I am not used to it after all. I have learned it in the past two years in Jiangnan. It’s also quite interesting to speak the dialect over there.”

Li Yanliang smiled and said: "It's not a bad thing to learn two more dialects when you are away from home. I once went to the south and suffered a lot. I asked people for directions and talked for a long time. No one could understand what they said. , and in the end it was only with gestures that made it clear."

Xu Beiyou smiled, and pointed to the half-eaten noodles in front of Li Yanliang, "Don't waste this good fortune, you won't be able to eat even if you want to go out."

Li Yanliang smiled and nodded in agreement, gobbling it voraciously, quickly finished a bowl of noodles, not even half of the soup was left.

Taking advantage of this time, Xu Beiyou had already settled the bill, and the two got up and left.

Along the way, the topic turned back to the previous theory of martial arts.

Xu Beiyou said bluntly: "Throughout the past hundred years, only Emperor Wuzu and Murong Yan can be called "holy" in martial arts. I have seen it once or twice, it is really extraordinary, especially the Wufang Emperor Boxing, which is not much better than my Jianzong's Jian 36, and Murong Yan is famous for his swordsmanship. I used to be the personal guard of the late emperor, so I must have learned the martial art of the Xiao family. I have also seen Zhang Dudu throwing a sword, and it seems that there is a bit of the true meaning of the heavenly sword. If Mr. Li wants to improve the way of martial arts, he might as well start from Zhang Dudu .”

Li Yanliang's eyes lit up, he clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you Mr. Xu for your guidance, Li Yanliang will never forget it."

Mr. Xu waved his hand and laughed it off.
