Lords of the Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, I throw myself into the mouth of the python

Chapter 23 Return My Brother!

Selling calligraphy and painting for a living sounds elegant, but in reality it is embarrassing.

Lu Ying learned calligraphy from "Chu style", but he has mediocre aptitude and can't learn the method. Chu Suiliang's strength, beauty, bone and rhyme are the same.

As for painting, like Wang Mian in later generations, Lu Ying was self-taught.Of course, it is also like calligraphy, limited by qualifications and low achievements.

Since his achievements are not high and his reputation is not obvious, the market for selling calligraphy and paintings is self-evident.

The two sat in a corner of the market for a long time, and only sold one volume of handwritten "Book of Filial Piety".

Dozens of copper plates are barely enough fodder for two horses to go back and forth.

Lu Ying was in a low mood and lost interest in the discussion, so she packed her things and wanted to go out of the city and go home.

Li Yu hurriedly stopped him.

Don't want to go out of the city. Once you leave, the plot will not go away.

Li Yu persuaded: "Brother, wait a little longer, there will always be someone who knows the goods." But Lu Ying said, if it was later, the itinerary might be missed.If you want to walk at night, you are afraid of being uneasy.

Li Yu said, if so, find a hotel in this city to stay.

Lu Ying smiled wryly: "Ruan Nang is shy and in a dilemma. We can't afford to live in this hotel."

Li Yu was dumbfounded.

There is not much left in the three-day time limit.What Li Yu has gained right now is just the [intellectual] experience gained from talking with Lu Ying.

When he entered [Lu Sheng], what he was looking for was not this kind of experience.

"The Story of the Pillow" has two protagonists, Lu Sheng and Taoist Lu Weng.

Lu Sheng has nothing to say, this Lu Weng is probably Lu Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals.

As long as Li Yu can get a little bit of benefit from him, it's worth the trip.

The true method of cultivating immortals and enlightening the Tao is the best, and the method of exercising and refining Qi is also acceptable.At worst, you have to get a mysterious spell similar to "Secret Record of the Rehabilitation".

Lu Weng is a treasure mountain, and Li Yu is confident that he will never "enter the treasure mountain and return empty-handed".

After all, his "Character Panel" has the additional status of "Xianyuan +10".

Don't immortals like to pay attention to fate, so it's not easy to let him go home empty-handed, right?
It's just that Li Yu's abacus was clattering, but he didn't expect the situation in front of him——

No money!

Can't live in the store!

Can't meet Lu Weng!
Could it be that his first "Moonlight Journey" died on this Adu?
What to do!

Li Yu thought about the countermeasures, but he didn't help Lu Ying pack the bag.

Looking back and forth at Lu Ying's calligraphy works, Li Yu wondered how to sell these things.

Well, ordinary people don't understand it, merchants and wealthy households don't like it, and literati don't even read it...

look look look……

Li Yu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said loudly to Lu Ying: "Bring the pen!"

Lu Ying was taken aback, then looked at Li Yu: "My dear brother?"

Li Yu didn't explain, and said with a smile: "Brother, give me a pen and paper."

Lu Ying stopped asking, nodded in response, opened the cloth bag again, took out the Four Treasures of the Study and handed it over.

Li Yu spread out the rice paper, dipped the ink in the brush, and made a full posture.Under Lu Ying's strange eyes, he wrote down four big characters "Diligence can make up for one's weakness".

Li Yu made a lot of noise, and his demeanor seemed exaggerated, which immediately attracted the attention of three passers-by.After he finished writing, two of the three passers-by shook their heads and walked away with a sneer, while the other stopped.

"My dear brother, you... you..." Lu Ying frowned at the word, but hesitated to speak.

My virtuous brother has a deep chest and is very talented and learned, only this word...

What a mess!
There are many mistakes in writing, wielding the wrist, using the brush, and using the ink; the structure, composition, and charm are even less eye-catching.

Lu Ying even felt that it was better for the schoolchildren in the village to make a few strokes when they came.

However, it was such a word "a mess", the passer-by who was resting saw it, and said yes repeatedly!
He even took out a dozen [Kaiyuan Tongbao] from his bosom and bought the characters.

Lu Ying was dumbfounded.

After that, Li Yu wrote a few more pictures, all of which were bought.

Lu Ying was very puzzled, so she looked at Li Yu's words again.

Length, thickness, shade...

Still a mess!
It is not an exaggeration to say that some words are scribbled by urchins.

For example, when writing "dragon", it winds around, paints the dragon's head and draws the dragon's tail; Draw a little monk with legs crossed and palms together.

It's neither words nor paintings, it's vulgar.

But it is these "vulgar things" that have won the joy of many people, and spent Tongbao to buy them.

It also attracted many individuals to watch, including butchers, farmers, Confucian scholars, and merchants, pointing and giving mixed comments.

Farmers said that the bird on that word was extremely fat, butchers said it looked refreshing, merchants were thoughtful, and Confucian scholars scoffed.

"[System]: Living in the '[Lu Sheng] world' time limit: 1:59."

Li Yu put away the pen and paper.

The onlookers asked: "Scholar, why don't you write?"

"The power of my book is heretical, and it cannot be considered elegant." Li Yuchao clasped his hands around and composed, "I am poor and hungry, and it is really difficult to sustain, so I use this book power to sensationalize the public and earn some money. Now that I have enough money, I don't dare to pollute the eyes of the elders anymore."

Several Confucian scholars in the crowd wanted to reprimand him, but when they saw that he thought he was "leftist", they gave up.

Everyone dispersed.

Lu Ying and Li Yu packed up and led the horses to the market.

Lu Ying was curious about the origin of his "leftist calligraphy". Li Yu said that he acquired it when he was living in the Jianghu, and named it "Jianghu style".

In fact, this "jianghu style" is a kind of calligraphy font that many people in the calligraphy circle hate in later generations.

This body does not follow the ancient posts, does not talk about the brushwork, but just practice calligraphy by yourself, blindly pursuing the visual impact.

The most criticized part of Jianghu style is its lack of basic composition and pen and ink literacy.

It is also the reason for Lu Ying's evaluation of "a mess".

Lu Ying smiled wryly and said, "There are people who like heresies, but I, who follow the rules, are not welcome."

Li Yu comforted: "The current situation is like this, it's not my brother's fault. It's just a pity that my brother's talents and learning can't be used in the world."

When Lu Ying heard the words, she felt good in her heart, and even regarded Li Yu as "the first confidant in her life".

The two walked and chatted, and came to a hostel.

I have lived in this Sheluying many times and said it is cheap and affordable.

The innkeeper came up to greet him and asked with a smile, "Mr. Lu, do you want to stay at the inn?"

Seeing Lu Ying nodding, he called a servant, sent the horses and gear to the backyard, and led the two of them into the guest house.

The store owner took out the registration information in the [store book]. Although he was curious about how Li Yu left his hometown and came to Gan'an and Shan', but with Lu Ying as a guarantee, there were no twists and turns.

After the registration was completed, the shopkeeper asked, "Is it possible to have a meal", and the two shook their heads.

The store arranged them in the lobby, together with a few other passengers, waiting for the afternoon meal.

Li Yu looked around, and stopped for a moment on a Taoist priest who put away his hat, loosened his belt, and sat leaning against a bag, and then looked away calmly.

"[System]: Living in the '[Lu Sheng] world' time limit: 23 minutes."

Li Yu pinched his eyebrows.

Seeing this, Lu Ying asked concerned: "My dear brother, do you feel unwell?"

"My head hurts a little. It's a small matter. Don't worry, brother." Li Yu said.

After a while, the shopkeeper led another five people into the lobby.There are too many people, and other seats cannot be seated.

The shopkeeper came over and bowed to Li Yu and said, "You two gentlemen, it's convenient."

He wanted to ask two people to share a seat with another, so as to make room for the five newcomers.

Lu Yingji was worried about Li Yu's headache and didn't want to go there.But Li Yu followed good advice and got up immediately.Lu Ying had no choice but to go there together, sharing a seat with the Taoist priest.

During the banquet, Lu Sheng asked Li Yu if he was better. Li Yu was moved and said "it's okay".

"I think the little man is in good health and full of energy, so there should be nothing serious. You don't have to worry about this man." A Taoist priest at the side suddenly interrupted.

The former young gentleman was talking about Li Yu, and the latter one was Lu Ying.

Li Yu's heart tightened, and he said, "I often have headaches when I'm sleepy or nervous. I don't know why. If the Taoist master is good at medicine, can you take a look for me?"

"It's not my job to cure diseases, otherwise I will relieve my worries." The Taoist glanced at Li Yu's left hand and directly refused.

Li Yu's expression froze.

The Taoist turned to Lu Ying and said, "Your Majesty, I see that you look gloomy and frowning, and you seem to have a knot in your heart. I am good at fortune-telling and fortune-telling, and relieve people's worries. I have traveled all over the world for dozens of years, and I have never had any failure. .Can you ask Pindao to make a hexagram for you?"

"Thank you, Taoist priest, for your concern. I have nothing to worry about." Lu Ying ignored him, and instead said to Li Yu, "Since the Taoist priest has no way to cure illnesses, my brothers and I should eat earlier and go to the doctor Hall."

Li Yu was distressed when Lu Ying didn't go on the road.

Lu Daochang seems to have no feelings for [Xian Yuan +10], so what can I do?
That's all, let's go to the plot first and wait and see what happens.

Li Yu persuaded Lu Ying: "Brother, I have a headache that I have been suffering from for many years, so I can't rush it. Now wait until the meal is cooked and there is nothing left and right, so why not let this priest take a look at it for you."

"My virtuous brother, I hit it off with you as before, and we are inseparable. If there is any entanglement, how can I not tell you?" Lu Ying didn't think so, then frowned and said to the old Taoist priest, "If the Taoist leader lacks entanglement, then he is looking for the wrong person. No. We brothers don't have much money."

Well, Lu Ying took the old Taoist priest as a charlatan.

Taoist Lu Weng felt depressed.

He is a master of Taoism, as long as he reveals his identity, he will be enshrined as a living god wherever he is.Even if he doesn't show it, everyone respects it. Why is it Lu Ying's turn to be so unwelcoming?
There is also this Li Langjun, who has a predestined relationship, possesses strange treasures, and is unclear about his foundation, but he is a mortal womb.

It's strange anyway.

Doubts abounded in the Taoist priest's heart.

He had a hexagram half a month ago, and the hexagram suggested that the person who had a destiny was Lu Sheng, Shezhong.If you get enlightenment, you can enter the mountain gate.

On a whim this morning, I made a hexagram again, but it is already very different.

Not to mention one more person, this journey of attunement has become blurred.

Li Yu was also speechless when he saw the trend of the plot.

Shouldn't it be "Taoist priests come to ask each other, scholars tell their hearts, and then sleep on yellow beams"?
Brother... why don't you follow the routine!
"Ahem!" the Taoist cleared his throat, and asked Lu Ying, "May I ask if your surname is Lu?"

Lu Ying was taken aback: "It's Lu, how do you know? Oh, you just heard about it from the store?"

"It was calculated by divination." The Taoist stroked the goatee under his jaw, and said slowly, "Not only did I figure out your surname Lu, but I also know that you have been frustrated in the examination field and have no official career. You have been busy for most of your life."

"what!"

Lu Ying was surprised that this old Taoist priest was actually capable.

Li Yu on the side also expressed surprise: "The Taoist priest is really lucky. My elder brother has his own hills and valleys in his chest, but he is trapped in his parents because of his lack of fame. The Taoist priest probably refers to this."

The Taoist cast a glance at Li Yu, thinking in his heart that although this person is a mortal man, he also has a destiny.If the trip goes well, I will give him a magic touch to ensure that he will be rich and have no worries about food and clothing throughout his life.

After Li Yu turned her around, Lu Ying's attitude became better, and she said to the Taoist priest in doubt, "Since the Taoist master knows my knot in my heart, is there any way to solve it?"

The Taoist took out a celadon pillow from the pouch behind him, handed it to Lu Ying, and said: "Use this pillow, you can realize your ambition of going out to the generals, and eating like a tripod."

Lu Sheng took the celadon pillow suspiciously, and asked the priest, "Really?"

Taoist: "You can try it."

Lu Ying was still hesitating, but Li Yu couldn't wait any longer.

"[System]: Living in the '[Lu Sheng] world' time limit: 12 minutes."

Li Yu said to Lu Ying: "Brother, you and I have neither wealth nor treasure, and there is nothing worthy of being deceived by Taoists. Why not just try this solution?"

The Taoist looked at Li Yu more pleasingly, but he shook his head when he heard Li Yu talk about "no treasure".Although this baby is pregnant with strange treasures, he can't recognize and use them, what a pity.

Forget it, he has the fate method in his body, so it's better to take it into his family.Even if you can't be a disciple, you can still be an alchemy boy who fans the wind and ignites the fire.

Lu Ying here was finally persuaded by Li Yu.Under the smiling gaze of the Taoist priest, the two went to the reserved house.

After entering the door, Li Yu kept pinching his brows.

The truth is gone, the method is gone, and the spells are gone.

What?

Can you give me the title of [Xuanpin] for this trip?

It can't be just that little [intelligence] experience, right?
"My dear brother, did you have another headache?" Lu Ying asked with concern.

Li Yu nodded, and Lu Ying said: "I've been wasting so much time because of this old Taoist priest, no matter what, I don't need to try this pillow. Brother, let's go to the medical center now."

"This headache happens for a while, and it will be better after a while." Li Yu thought about it, and suddenly said to Lu Sheng, "Brother, I think this old Taoist priest is also a good person, I don't know if the pillow is right or not. My disease? Can I have a try?"

"Of course you can try it, but didn't the old Taoist say that he can't heal himself?"

"I'm just trying."

"Okay, here it is."

Outside the guest house, the Taoist felt something in his heart, and always felt that something was missing.I pinched my fingers, but I didn't figure out why.

……

A moment later, there was a sudden howl in the house!
"Brother!!"

The Taoist was taken aback, what happened?
I just accept a disciple, is it easy for me!
Before he finished sighing, he saw Lu Ying running out of the house with red eyes and a ferocious face, grabbed the old Taoist by the collar, and cried, "Demon! Give me back my virtuous brother!!! "

"Return my good brother!"
