The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 123 Letter from Kuaiji
Xu Miao's life in Xiao's was full of pain and happiness. He thought that he would be more comfortable when he was freed from his father's shackles. Unexpectedly, Xu Miao was dumbfounded by a letter from Dr. Xu and became the disciple of old man Cui.

Dr. Xu even studied with old man Cui.

When Xiao Qinzhi heard the news, he couldn't help being a little dumbfounded, recalling that he had brought a letter to old man Cui when he was in Wu County, and fell into deep thought.

Xiao Qinzhi's fear of old man Cui came from the bottom of his heart, and he thought he could compete with the patriarch on equal terms, but the patriarch was like a mentally handicapped child in front of old man Cui, and with a casual mouth, he proposed a return to Xiao Gentlemen's plan.

Therefore, Xiao Qinzhi had a feeling in the dark that his Wujun party, Mr. Cui must have done something behind his back through Dr. Xu. Thinking about it this way, Dr. Xu studied under Mr. Cui, can you think that he seems to be mellow, In fact, it is also an old comparison.

From this, Xiao Qinzhi thought that Dr. Xu arranged for Lu Changsheng to come to Wujin to seek medical treatment, and under the pretense of his own hand, made Qian Laodao unable to evade. So what is the ultimate purpose of Dr. Xu's doing so?

A person will not do something for no reason. If he wants to do something, he must have his reason.

Regarding this question, Xiao Qinzhi thought for a long time, but couldn't figure it out. He subconsciously took a sip of hot tea, and glanced sideways at the grass shed not far away. Old man Cui was covered with a thick quilt, his eyes drowsy. Lying on the collapsed bed, Xu Miao was serving before the collapsed. While reading "Spring and Autumn", he was always paying attention to whether the water on the small stove was boiling.

"Stinky boy, it's your turn." The stinky old man roared dissatisfied, with a thin face, staring old eyes, and the little boy who was adding fire to boil water beside him, snickered.

"Oh~" Xiao Qinzhi let out a sigh, came back to his senses, and made a random move, and the old man grabbed his white beard again and fell into deep thought.

Xiao Qinzhi's chess skills have improved a lot, young people have flexible minds, and it's no problem to bully the old man. After all, the old man is also an old man. In the words of his patriarch: "One person lives three generations, you kill me Still there."

Xiao Qinzhi wanted to laugh every time he thought of the patriarch being yelled at by the stinky old man, unable to refute, and could only stare angrily.

Outsiders don't know the exact age of Old Smelly Dao, but Xiao Qinzhi dares to confirm the fact that Old Smelly Daoist was already in the Taoist temple on the mountain when Xiao went to Nandu and moved to Fengqi Lake. From the first year of the first year to the seventh year of Yongjia, it has been more than forty years.

In ancient feudal society, more than 60% of people lived to forty; immortal.

Although the old man's hair and beard are all white, the patriarch is really no match for him in terms of how long he has lived. He is a very old man, but he walks like flying down the mountain, and the rugged mountain road is like walking on flat ground.

Old Man Cui and Old Smelly Taoist are a pair of happy old friends who don’t know each other. According to Qin's observation, the old man played tricks, and he missed the old man Cui by not a little bit.

The old Taoist made a fortune for Xiao Qinzhi, and concluded that 20 years old could not get married, hit three times of flood disaster, and in the future he wanted to find a daughter of earth life to get married, but the old man Cui immediately borrowed the hand of the fat old man to make a fool of himself. Recruiting "Huangnu looking for a husband", bragging about it, the key is that the world will believe it.

In the dispute between the two Confucianism and Taoism, old man Cui stayed at home, and with a small plan, he could calculate the gentry in the north and the south, and let the Xiao family return to the ranks of the gentry stepping on the corpse of Huashi in Wuxi to prove that the "people-oriented" of Confucianism is better than that of Taoism. "Doing nothing means doing something".

Therefore, at this moment, Xiao Qinzhi has enough reasons to believe that even if he went to Wu County, he is still within old man Cui's calculations. Dr. Xu must be a deeply hidden old man, definitely!
"Can you still download it? If you can't download it, hurry back to study." Xiao Qin's indecision again and again made the old man lose his temper.

"Alas~" Xiao Qinzhi jumped with a backhand move, and the situation on the chessboard was instantly changed. The battlefield that was originally anxious about each other was cut and divided into two, which completely shut up the old man and fell into an extremely complicated situation. The measurement is in progress.

The wind was blowing, the drowsy clouds were thick and heavy, the water was gloomy and the sky was gloomy. After a while, the fine goose down fell one after another, and the whole world became quiet, only the sound of falling snow and the sigh of the old man could be heard.

"Losed! Lost!" The white piece held in the old man's hand could not be dropped, and the situation on the chessboard was irreversible.

The little Taoist brought a cup of freshly brewed tea, with white steam coming out, the old man walked to the side of the water pavilion, bent down and took a handful of water. The lake water was not cold, but rather warm, and sighed: "Everything is dying to the extreme. , the extreme will return to prosperity, and the recovery will return to the extreme, one year old and one prosperity and decline, mountains, rivers, cities and fields, turn around again and again, there is nothing like this"

Xiao Qinzhi could probably understand the first few sentences, and the obscure and difficult gossip theory of the Zhouyi, he listened to it in a daze. He simply drank hot tea and enjoyed the snow, thinking: "This year, I can lie at home to enjoy the snow, and next year I should enjoy the snow." Where are you enjoying the snow?"

I thought again: "Is she also standing in front of the window lattice, admiring the snow just like me at this moment?"

Think again: "Should it be snowing in Kuaiji too?"

That's right, when she left, it was midsummer, and now it was snowing heavily, but there was still no news of her, like the snow that had been stepped on, and after one night, it was covered with snow again.

She is Chen Yunzhi, not Xie Daoyun after all!

This snowfall made Xiao Qinzhi suddenly feel uneasy, and asked the old man in a strange way: "Is there really any basis for you to say that I will marry a daughter of earth life after my twenties?"

"I want to know, just follow me. You don't want to believe what others say, but you always believe what you say." The old man did not turn around, drinking hot tea, still facing Fengqi Lake, watching the snow fall.

"Forget it!" Xiao Qinzhi refused flatly. To learn that thing, you must first believe in fate. All things and laws do not change, and the rules do not change. It runs counter to Xiao Qinzhi's life creed. A life with variables is interesting. The saying "my fate is up to me" seems to be very correct.

"Boy, in the spring of next year, come with me to Luofu Mountain, I will give you a great opportunity." Smelly old man stroked his beard, suddenly looked back and smiled.

Xiao Daotong suddenly showed envy, there is Immortal Master Ge Hong on Luofu Mountain.

"No." Xiao Qinzhi flatly refused.

"What?" Boss Smelly was stunned for a moment, the smile on his face was gone, countless people visited Luofu Mountain in a year, and one or two of them got their wish, how could someone disdain the name of Immortal Ge?

"No time!" Xiao Qinzhi said, "Next year will be spring, March [-]rd will be ordered, followed by Zhou Zhongzheng, which one would I dare to be sloppy with?"

Although Xiao Qinzhi declined so politely, it was actually giving the old Taoist face, and he couldn't just say directly: "Old Taoist, you are like this, your brother Ge Hong is at best an enhanced version of you. Isn’t it a pure fool to run so far in a month?”

In fact, what Xiao Qinzhi cares more about is that a letter from the south and a letter from the north can stop worries when coming from the south, and open the way forward when coming from the north. The real reason for not wanting to go to Luofu Mountain.

"Vulgar!" The stinky old man glanced at him angrily, waved his Taoist robe, and turned around to continue admiring the snow!
Xiao Qinzhi turned a deaf ear, drinking hot tea, counting the falling snow outside the pavilion, one by one, one, two, three
At the Xijin Ferry, a small boat coming from the south slowly approached the pier. A young boy put his arms around his chilly body, looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky, and complained: "I was originally in Wujun, but now I am in Wujin." , but it happened to be snowing, and I had to be scolded for being late, alas—”

【You sprayed me, I saw it all.】
