Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 785 Who told me to be a painter?
Li Shabai's words gave Xu Zhiqiong a new definition of the breadth and depth of a close friend.

Who is this best friend?

Could it be Hong Juncheng?

Xu Zhiqiong's heart tightened, but after thinking for a moment, he denied his speculation.

First of all, as the number one spring painting master throughout the ages, Li Shabai's orientation is obviously normal, and he is unlikely to share the same bed with Hong Juncheng.

Secondly, he and Hong Juncheng have completely different positions. It can be seen from Li Shabai's distaste for Qiancheng Kingdom that it is impossible for the two to form a bond with Jinlan.

This best friend is someone else.

"Can you reveal the name of this dear friend?"

"Name..." Li Shabai blinked and said, "When I met her two days ago, I wanted to ask about it, but I really forgot her name.
But between the bed and the bed, if you can't even remember your name, won't you become that heartless person? "

Just met two days ago...

"Is this best friend a woman?" Xu Zhiqiong asked tentatively.

Li Shabai replied with a firm expression: "When she admitted that she was a daughter back then, I recognized her as a woman, no matter what the world thinks of her."

Xu Zhiqiong smiled.

This close friend is obviously not Hong Juncheng.

There is only one person who has mastered the special tea art, has disputes about gender, and has close contacts with Li Shabai.

This person should be Canrou Xingxiu.

At the beginning Liang Yuyao got the skill of sealing the orifice, but Li Shabai failed to resolve it several times, Canrou Xingxiu came to help, opened Liang Yuyao's orifice and saved her life.

Xu Zhiqiong knew that Li Shabai and Canrou Xingsu had a good friendship, but he never thought that they had been brothers and even lovers.

Even though they shared the same bed, Li Shabai still couldn't remember the name of Canrou Xingxiu.

This incident caught Xu Zhiqiong's attention.

Xu Zhiqiong respected Li Shabai's character very much, and always felt that he shouldn't be such a scumbag.

Maybe it was because Can Rouxing's personality was too high at that time, which affected Li Shabai's memory and deliberately erased his name.

"Painter Li, when you met that close friend, was she already a star official?"

Li Shabai shook his head: "When we first met, he was still in the mortal world."

From this point of view, Can Rouxing's time away from the mortal world is not long, at least not longer than Li Shabai's life.

And Canrou Xingxiu is the ancestor of the eunuch family, which proves that the history of the eunuch family itself is not that long.

According to some historical records, the history of eunuchs can be traced back to the beginning of creation, which is obviously a fallacy.

"Painter Li, would you like to talk about your past with this close friend?"

When talking with Li Shabai, one must be very cautious, and no one can force him to mention the things he doesn't want to mention.

Li Shabai was in a good mood today. He ordered two cups of tea and pushed a cup of tea to Xu Zhiqiong: "Why do you want to ask this dear friend? Is it just for the tea ceremony?"

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "This dear friend of the painter has helped me a lot in Qiancheng Kingdom, I just want to know her a little better."

Li Shabai shook his head and said: "Some things, I can't remember, like I forgot her name,
Some things, I can think of, but can't tell you. "

This was within Xu Zhiqiong's expectation. With Li Shabai's character, he would never reveal the secrets of his best friend to others.

If Li Shabai refuses to answer the question directly, he can only try in a roundabout way.

"When did the painter meet this dear friend?"

"I can't remember the exact year and month. When I met him on the battlefield, it was a life-or-death situation.
As for how the fight was resolved, I don't remember clearly, and I don't even remember why I went to the battlefield. "

Li Shabai and Can Rouxing once met on the battlefield.

Will it be the battle of Quanxiang?

If it really was the battle of Quanxiang, it would prove that Canrou Xingxiu had not left the mortal world during the period of Daxuan and Dagan.

When we talked about meeting on the battlefield just now, scenes on the battlefield kept flashing before Li Shabai's eyes.

He seemed to see the handsome and bright general in the past again, riding a war horse, carrying a spear, fighting with the sergeants in front of the battle, the sound of hooves, shouts, and drums lingering in his ears.

Li Shabai rubbed his forehead, waved his hands and said, "Stop talking about my best friend."

He didn't want to bring up the matter of Canrou Xingxiu again, so Xu Zhiqiong took the opportunity to change the subject: "Have you heard of Quanxiang, the artist?"

Spring Township!

These two words touched Li Shabai's heart.

The Battle of Spring Township!

Some memories were brought back.

Li Shabai suddenly raised his head and said, "The water in Quanxiang is very slippery."

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "So Quanxiang is Huazhou?"

Li Shabai nodded and said: "There was a fierce battle in Quanxiang, between Daxuan and Dagan. Daxuan had a strong general, known as General Shengwei, and his name was..."

General Shengwei!

Xu Zhiqiong confirmed the identity of this person!
"His name is Ray, isn't it?"

瑞！
This word touched Li Shabai's heart again.

Li Shabai rubbed the center of his brows, and said two words: "King Rui!"

He remembered another identity of General Shengwei.

Xu Zhiqiong said a name: "Is his name Liang Zhenrui?"

Liang Zhenrui!
These three words flashed in Li Shabai's mind, and more memories were touched.

How could Xu Zhiqiong think of the name Liang Zhenrui?

This stems from what Liang Jixiong said.

At the beginning, Xu Zhiqiong was sure that Hong Juncheng had a domineering cultivation base, and his cultivation base was extremely high. The first thing he suspected was that an elder ran out of the Canglong Palace, and he jokingly called him "fourth brother".

As a result, Liang Jixiong firmly insisted that there is no "fourth brother".

Xu Zhiqiong didn't believe it, so he pestered Liang Jixiong to send all the elders of the past, until he found the first elder Shengwei.

The first elder of Shengwei fell into heavy siege in the first battle of Huazhou, and finally died of exhaustion. He was Liang Zhenrui.

The exhaustion of Qi machine is almost the same as the exhaustion recorded in Nu Zulu.

Rui and exhaustion, the two key words match.

If Huazhou is replaced by Quanxiang, and the third keyword is matched, this period of history is almost exactly the same as the record in "Nuzulu".

Rui is Liang Zhenrui.

Liang Zhenrui defeated the king of Qian Kingdom in Huazhou three times in a row. He was invincible on the battlefield, but he was defeated by a general.

Painter!

From the name alone, Xu Zhiqiong was the first to think of Li Shabai.

From the conversation just now, Li Shabai has indeed been on the battlefield.

It's just that he is reluctant to bring up this battle.

But under Xu Zhiqing's tortuous temptations, Li Shabai seemed to present the fierce battle back then.

What is the reason, why did Li Shabai avoid talking about this past?
He didn't want others to know that he was a former general?
This is not in line with Li Shabai's temperament.

Li Shabai is an upright person. He has always supported He Fang's proclaiming himself emperor, and even made a ten-year agreement with Emperor Changle.

With his cultivation base and strength, it is a matter of course that he was a general in the previous dynasty, and it is even more unworthy to hide this matter.

"Painter Li, there are no six ears here. Xu just wants to know one thing. Is there a general in the army?"

Li Shabai directly admitted: "I am a painter. I am a craftsman who paints. At that time, the world called me a painter."

Xu Zhiqiong blinked his eyes, there was a misunderstanding here: "It's not the craftsman who made the painting, but the general who made the painting."

"Painter general?"

These two words, like a switch, completely detonated Li Shabai's memory.

A gust of wind blew, and Li Shabai's hair fluttered.

The ink in the inkstone turned into dots of ink beads, flying into the air little by little, hovering in the studio.

Xu Zhiqiong was a little worried, if he was hit by Li Shabai's ink, it would cause unimaginable harm.

"Painting general!" Li Shabai repeated again.

A huge scroll slowly unfolded from a corner, gradually covering the entire wall of the studio.

The flying ink beads moved quickly on the scroll, and soon formed a picture scroll.

On the west and east walls of the studio, in the center of the scroll is a frail man standing alone in the cold wind.

On the east wall of the studio, which is opposite to the man, are full of banners and thousands of troops.

Li Shabai was still talking to himself: "It is true that someone calls me a painter, and that person is..."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Is that person Liang Zhenrui?"

Li Shabai shook his head and said, "Liang Zhenrui called me the enemy of fate."

"Is it the king of Qian?"

Li Shabai still shook his head: "Mr. Gan called me Salvation Humerus."

"Is it the Remnant Rou Constellation?"

Li Shabai still shook his head: "Can Rou XingXiu called me a beast."

beast...

What did you do to Can Rou XingXiu?
Judging from this sentence alone, one thing can be confirmed, Canrou Xingxiu and Liang Zhenrui are definitely not the same person.

Xu Zhiqiong pursed his lips, and seeing Li Shabai's expression trying to recall, he confirmed his previous speculation.

Li Shabai didn't want to hide his identity as a former general, he really couldn't remember it.

Someone had interfered with his memory.

Is it Ye Ansheng?
Ye Ansheng interfered with Li Shabai's memory, but Li Shabai's cultivation level was too high, so he soon noticed it and recovered his memory.

Is it Canrou Constellation?
Li Shabai was still trying to remember, and the flying ink beads continued to draw a magnificent picture scroll on the wall.

Xu Zhiqiong looked around, and gradually saw the scene of the battle in Quanxiang.

Among the thousands of troops on the east wall, a strong general with dark skin, wearing heavy armor, holding a long knife, and riding a horse stood in the center of the army. Shengwei" two words.

This is the Shengwei General of the year, Liang Zhenrui.

Liang Zhenrui's facial features are a little fuzzy, which means that Li Shabai's memory is also a little fuzzy.

On the left and right of Liang Zhenrui, there is a general with a handsome face, one holding a long dagger and the other a long spear.

Li Shabai muttered to himself: "Hussars, chariots..."

These two generals are General Hussars and General Chariots, which are exactly the same as the description in "Nu Zulu"!
"They call me a painter? It's not them..."

Li Shabai's cheeks twitched.

Xu Zhiqiong noticed that Li Shabai's condition was not right.

He had seen this state in Liang Zhenjie.

"Painter Li, if you can't remember it, then you don't have to think about it."

"It's not him, it's not him..." Li Shabai shook his head frequently, and a picture scroll appeared on the north wall.

A vague figure, wearing a long gown, stood with his hands behind his back in the dust, as if he was watching the battle with cold eyes.

"It's him..." Li Shabai raised his head suddenly, "Confucian star."

Confucian star!

The ancestor of Confucianism!
Xu Zhiqiong was stunned for a long time.

"He can't be called Confucian star yet, he is still in the mortal world." Li Shabai still whispered to himself, and Xu Zhiqiong was even more astonished.

Suddenly Li Shabai raised his head slowly, looked at Xu Zhiqiong with a smile on his face and said, "Your Honor, are we close friends?"
