lethal arsenal

Chapter 34 Mr.
The name Wenchang Xueshe has no limits, and ordinary mountain leaders can't hold it back. Lin Dong doesn't understand why a school in a small county town takes such a huge name.

Yangchang County has not raised a single person for 30 years, maybe it has something to do with this name, which is too much pressure on the luck of scholars.

It rained heavily and the water overflowed the shoes.

Lin Dong lifted his trousers up high, held up a black umbrella, and went to the school alone to have a look.

Schools and temples are different.

It is the statue of Emperor Wenchang that violated the taboo of the Taiping Army.

The Taiping army believed in the Heavenly Father, and other gods, such as Avalokitesvara, the City God, Confucius, and the sages, were degraded as heresies.

The statue of Emperor Wenchang was smashed, and the schoolhouse was only used as a simple place to study and practice. The Taiping Army did not have to demolish it.

Whether to demolish or not is entirely up to the local general in power.

Zhang Wenxiang saw this, so he fought guerrilla warfare repeatedly with Ma Xinyi, using a trick of dragging.

Lin Dong himself is actually not very happy to do this kind of thing like cutting down mountains and destroying temples.

It has nothing to do with belief.

The main reason is that in this world, gods and spirits don't just appear between brush and ink, but actually exist in an ethereal space.

Maybe one day, the Taoist Lord will send down divine punishment, and a thunderbolt will give him a long memory.

I can't walk fast with an umbrella, the wind has resistance, and the raindrops are constantly beating.

Even an umbrella can't cover it completely, and the clothes are wet again soon.

Lin Dong was thinking about the saber technique in his head while walking, Long Guanyue, after performing it once, even if the saber led people away, the memory of the saber technique was much clearer, instead of a ignorant instinctive feeling.

He likes martial arts, so he will naturally think about it.

thinking over and over...

In fact, he is very dull-he only had two hobbies during college, one was watching hot dance videos and watching pretty girls dance.

The other thing is to browse the library. He likes the scene of fighting against heaven and earth depicted in novels... Now, when he has the opportunity, he naturally cherishes it very much.

Many opportunities in life are very precious, often only once.

I kept thinking about the feeling of grabbing the knife and pulling it out, pondering the strength of the force, the trajectory of the blade, and gradually felt some mysterious and mysterious feelings in my head.

"crack"

Stepped into a large group of mud.

The shoes were lifted up, and they were still stained with silky mud.

Hey!
Lin Dong sighed.

At this time, I saw electric snakes dancing wildly in front of me, rumbling, and thunder came.

The moment the lightning flashed on, a stone statue of a literati appeared in the distant sky!

The eyes are sunken, the bridge of the nose is straight, solemn and majestic, the stone statue looks at him from afar, giving him a strange and desolate feeling.

Lin Dong's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Could it be the statue of Wenchang?"

He was puzzled, but also a little afraid.

However, then the thought changed again.

The Taiping army burned mountains and destroyed countless temples. If the gods and Buddhas in the sky really had spirits, they would have wiped out them long ago.

Besides, if the gods and Buddhas are really effective, how can the Neon Japanese people make trouble in China?

The fear that was not so much became thinner and thinner.

The lightning flashed by.

Disappearing with it is the dreamlike stone statue in literati robes, which seems to have appeared but also seems to have not appeared.

Lin Dong gritted his teeth, but walked quickly towards the direction where the stone statue appeared.

Born with a gall, there are no taboos!

Swish!
It's strange to put the umbrella away.

In this weather, when he went down the mountain, it was like a waterfall.

When I walked to the door of the school, it was raining like pearls.

"What's the matter, the Dragon King looks like the inn servant when it rains, and sees people ordering dishes? How do you classify them?"

Lin Dong said.

He tossed his hair, wiped it on both sides with his hands, raised his head, revealing a sharpened chin, showing a bit of sharpness.

Then, when I looked up, I saw a pair of couplets.

"Sanyu has read He Yanshou, and Wanjuan is proficient and prefers Mei."

Hengbiao EMI romantic.

This is the Wenchang Academy with a strong tone.

"Come in, but you are early, and you have the last class today, so you have to wait a little longer. By the way, you are the parent of a child, why do you just look at it?"

Lin Dong hadn't had time to declare his family name.

A young man with a fair face, old-fashioned clothes and a Zhuge scarf on his head spoke first.

While speaking, the man greeted Lin Dong.

Lin Dong put the black umbrella aside and clasped his fists in return. This action made the young man's eyes fall on him again.

"Is your honor here to expropriate the academy?"

The young man's eyes turned cold, and he scolded and asked, the gentle expression was swept away.

"How does he know what I'm here for?"

Lin Dong was a little curious.

The first reaction was that Zhang Wenxiang revealed the information, but he felt it was wrong.

Zhang Wenxiang couldn't do such a thing, so he immediately attributed it to gods and monsters.

"What's your name?"

Lin Dong straightened his back and asked.

"Xiaosheng's surname is Liu Mingheng. He is a native of the country. His style name is Pingzhi. He was a scholar in the third year of Xianfeng."

Liu Heng said angrily.

Lin Dong raised his eyebrows, this guy has a problem with him.

However, it's normal to think about it. The scholar probably felt that he came to demolish his house. His attitude was not friendly, and he didn't take a big broom to kick him out, which was pretty good.

"Please wait outside for a while, you can also stroll around casually, Xiaosheng still has the last class, I will explain to you the disciples after teaching."

After saying that, Liu Xiucai didn't listen to Lin Dong's self-introduction, turned around and entered the classroom of the school.

Lin Dong stood at the door and peeked in quietly.

There are four rows horizontally and four rows vertically, and there are only eleven or twelve students before and after it is not full.

They are not very old, the youngest is six or seven years old, and the oldest is eight or nine years old. Their immature faces are extremely serious in their studies, and their eyes follow the teacher who walked into the classroom.

Lin Dong was afraid of disturbing their study, so he retreated lightly to the corridor, looking at the gloomy sky outside from a distance.

this time.

Like Zhang Wenxiang, he had to keep this place.

The old horse wants performance, he wants military merit, he wants to show his face in front of the British king Chen Yucheng, and he wants to be successful!

It's all right.

But this kind of place should not be used as a fuss.

This kind of thing can't be solved from the source, only from the details.

The matter of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom cutting down mountains and destroying temples is an established national policy, and it is not easy to change course.

However, fine-tuning of details is still possible.

If we really want to talk about it, even Confucius was not immune to a difficult situation.How can Emperor Wenchang Hede, and why can he avoid it?
There's no right or wrong way to say this.

It can only be a product of a specific era.

A person has a tumor on his neck, the kind that cannot be cured.

At this time, let's get entangled again, why didn't he use the knife on his own tumor, but aimed the spatula at his neck?

Does it make sense?

Could it be possible to live by aiming at the tumor?
Since you can't live, why don't you just die happily!
Lin Dong's mind was far away, he didn't fight these days, all kinds of thoughts in his head were complicated and chaotic, and his mind was restless.

Not only the derivation of desire, but also the miscellaneous thoughts are constantly burning the brain.

Distract his most precious energies.

"Come like wind and rain, go like dust."

"The waves behind the Yangtze River drive the waves ahead, and newcomers in the world overtake old ones."

"The moon is the first to be close to the water tower, and the sunny flowers and trees come to spring early. The ancients did not see the current moon, but the current moon used to shine on the ancients. First come to be the king, and then to be the minister. It is impossible for the king to go early, and more..."

The sound of young children reading aloud came to the ears.

These days of killing, blood, fear, faces of unwillingness or resentment at the moment of death, all seemed to turn into a puff of smoke.

And the voice of children reading is like a faint wind.

As soon as the wind blows, the light smoke disperses.

Lin Dong only felt extremely comfortable, the pressure in his whole body disappeared, and even his bones felt lighter.

With a decision in his mind, he tiptoed to leave.

at this time.

"where are you going?"

Liu Xiucai called him to stop again.

"Call some soldiers over here and tear this place down."

Lin Dong deliberately teased him.

"Don't go."

Liu Xiucai's voice tightened and he held his neck high.

"Why, order me?"

He thought the scholar was quite cute, but with a grin on the corner of his mouth, a ferocious look crept up his face instantly, trying to scare the scholar.

"Don't go, yes, there is an oracle from Emperor Wenchang for you."

Liu Xiucai gritted his teeth and said.

"oracle?"

Lin Dong raised his eyebrows, just out of curiosity.

"Well, the oracle."

"Wait for me a little longer, I'll finish my work and entertain you right away."

Liu Xiucai nodded at Lin Dong, as if affirming his words, and then he was busy for a while.

……

"Then just wait a little longer."

Lin Dong thought so.

I saw Liu Xiucai rushing into the back room and coming out with a lot of bamboo umbrellas in his arms. There were still some water stains on his clothes. Some umbrellas should have been used in the morning and were not dry at the moment.

He handed out some to the boy, and said softly: "Tomorrow is a holiday, so you don't have to come here, sir, there are some things to deal with here."

A group of children cheered happily.

Those who are a little older are more serious, but the joy in their eyes cannot be concealed.

"Sure enough, children everywhere don't like to read."

Lin Dong felt amused watching this scene.

Liu Heng touched the heads of these children and gave them a gentle hug.

There was a little boy who looked young but had the most serious face. He looked like a grown-up, and asked solemnly, "Sir, shall we start the class the day after tomorrow?"

This question made Liu Heng stunned for a moment, and he glanced outwards slightly, before he regained his composure.

Liu Heng turned his head and told the child solemnly: "Yes, we will continue the class the day after tomorrow."

He smiled and handed the umbrella to the child.

Only then did two dimples bloom on the little baby's face.

Call ~
Lin Dong let out a long breath, feeling very melancholy, and he didn't say that he really wanted to tear it down.

Can you not make the scene the same as parting from life and death?
After wandering around the school, Lin Dong found the real master as he wished—Emperor Wenchang.

The stone statue of Dijun is set up in the center of the courtyard outside the classroom, surrounded by flower beds, and there is an aisle inside, where children can play and play.

If there was no rain, Lin Dong glanced up and could have imagined the scene.

In the morning, Emperor Wenchang could hear the sound of young children reading aloud, the sound was melodious and full of aura.

In the afternoon, if a boy gets tired from practicing calligraphy and takes out a kite to play in the backyard, Emperor Wenchang can also be regarded as children playing, and the fun here is not enough for outsiders.

If the student achieves himself in the future.

Bring some melon and fruit snacks, come back to worship, visit the teacher, visit the emperor, this seems to be a wonderful and joyful thing in the world.

The joy of wanting to be a fairy may not be comparable to watching the seedlings grow vigorously.

Lin Dong clasped his hands together and bowed to Emperor Wenchang from afar.

……

"The general's surname is Lin?"

Sending the last few children to familiar parents gave Liu Xiucai the time to entertain Lin Dong.

"You know everything?"

Lin Dong didn't answer the other party's tricks, but instead answered questions with a playful look on his face.

If Liu Xiucai really knew everything, he should have been let go just now—because Lin Dong would not come to trouble the school again.

"Uh."

Obviously, Liu Xiucai was dumbfounded by this.

Shouldn't you ask - how do you know that my surname is Lin?
Liu Xiucai immediately shook his head and laughed, "I invite General Lin to drink a jar of wine."

As he said that, Lin Dong saw him turn around and take out a jar of fine wine from the cupboard, pouring a bowl for each person.

The color of the wine is like amber, it is rare to meet such a beautiful color.

In fact, as soon as the sealed red cloth cover was lifted, Lin Dong could smell the mellow aroma.

"You don't think I can bribe you with drinks, do you?"

He intentionally teased Liu Xiucai, picked up the porcelain bowl, and wanted to drink it very much, his Adam's apple couldn't help rolling up and down, but his expression was as usual—it's just that the wine smells really good.

coo.

"Please."

Liu Xiucai made a gesture.

Lin Dong couldn't bear it any longer, he raised his head and swallowed the strong wine into his stomach in one gulp. The liquid formed a line and warmed his throat as soon as he entered his throat.

[You have received the blessing of Emperor Wenchang, and the effect is being generated...]

Lin Dong frowned when he heard the voice, he knew it was not an illusion.

"Wine is actually just ordinary wine. After seven days of offering sacrifices to Emperor Wenchang, there have been extraordinary changes."

Liu Xiucai smiled bitterly.

"Back then I was a scholar, and the wine was not amber-like, but slightly golden in color. It was congratulations for the boy under the emperor's seat."

Liu Xiucai also picked up the bowl and sipped it, with a look of nostalgia on his face.

"General Lin, I invite you to drink. I do have the idea of ​​bribery. I only have this jar of wine. However, there is more to thank you. Thank you for removing a big evil in the county."

"How to say?"

Lin Dong raised the jar casually and added another bowl for himself.

Cuckoo.

Another big bowl of swig.

The strong wine entered his belly, his bones seemed to be burning hot, and the connection between the flesh and skin seemed to be closer.

"Old Freak Liu is what everyone talks about, but it's actually my third uncle who ruined my Liu family's reputation, but I'm a scholar, and I can't do anything about him. I asked the county magistrate, but the magistrate didn't care about it."

"I can only watch helplessly as the underground ghost market is established, and Fu Lu's ointment is rampant, poisoning the world. You can get rid of him, and you have done a lot for the people, and for our Liu family, accumulating evil virtue."

Liu Xiucai said so.

Lin Dong's head was slightly dizzy at this moment, and he thought to himself that they are still a family.

"You guys still have this kind of relationship? The three of us asked around before, but we didn't know about it. We thought that Old Freak Liu had entered the county alone."

"Let me tell you a story, would you like to hear it?"

Liu Xiucai suddenly preached.

"Okay, you say."

Lin Dong added another bowl of wine to himself, and the more he drank, the better he got.

He is not a small pickle, the main thing is the wine, which is strong.

"Our Liu family..."

Blah blah blah blah blah.

Lin Dong's drunken eyes were blurred, and the jar of wine soon bottomed out.

Of course, his consciousness is still sober, and he can even sort out the huge and complicated context of his family that Liu Xiucai described.

Before the generation of Liu Xiucai's grandfather, they were all merchants and experts, without the slightest scholarly spirit.

Later, Liu Xiucai's grandfather came across a ruined temple in which Emperor Wenchang was enshrined.

Very old story.

That meeting should still be a matter of the Yongzheng period.

Grandfather Liu couldn't bear to see the broken statue of the emperor, so he wiped the altar clean with a white cloth, and offered three green incense sticks.

That night.

The evil spirits attacked the mountain temple, but the scholar's grandfather survived.

Later, the business of the old Liu's family was booming, and soon a golden body was created for Emperor Wenchang.

That is, the night of reshaping the golden body.

The emperor bestowed a golden seal on them. The title of the seal was "Wendan", which said that it could summon the heavenly soldiers and generals to bless them. Those who were not born with great luck could not hold it, and gave them a task.

Now that he has inherited Shinto luck.

As the emperor's number one dog leg, the Liu family can't just enjoy wealth and do nothing.

In the generation of Liu Xiucai's father, a total of three branches were established, which can be regarded as responding to orders.

His uncle Liu Yuantang is the main family, Liu Xiucai is the second branch, and Old Freak Liu is the third branch.

The main family holds the seal of writing and courage, and the other two have their own keepsakes.

Why do you act like this?

The scholar is unwilling to mention more.

In Liu's father's generation, the ancestors of the Liu family sold all their wealth and distributed it to their three sons, so that his three sons could each open a school in three places.

The most famous one is undoubtedly the lineage of the head of the Liu family, Liu Yuantang.

The Lianyi Academy in southern Shonan is their inheritance, and the name does not seem to be very eye-catching.

But know!

Master Zeng of Xiang Shuai went to school, and the earliest institution of study was Lianyi Academy.

The second branch was the establishment of Wenchang School on the Yangchang side.

As for the last family, Old Freak Liu’s elder brother was asked to go north to establish a school, but the fate was ill-fated, and the third bloodline of the Liu family, which was very popular, failed to live up to the hope.

Some of the ideas of Liu's ancestors were reduced to nothing.

As for how Old Freak Liu became the master of Monkey Fist in the end, that was another opportunity in the north, so I won't mention it here.

……

"If you don't tell me the secret that the Liu family is guarding, I will send someone to demolish your school."

After getting drunk, Lin Dong opened his mouth to threaten.

"Emperor Wenchang responded to my family. He said to me in a dream that the school house is not good and cannot be broken. If you have the guts of a dog, just come and have a try and see if the emperor will punish you?"

Liu Xiucai was also a little drunk, and he opened his mouth to talk nonsense.

"Really? Could it be that you lied to me."

Lin Dong asked suspiciously.

"Dang, of course it is true. Can a scholar speak falsely?"

Liu Xiucai couldn't speak clearly.

"Then I have to dismantle it?"

Lin Dong raised his brows, and his tone was arrogant.

"You got rid of the three evils in Yangchang County. You went to Zhou Taotie and Zhou Papi. I respect you as a hero, a hero. However, there are so many students behind me. You demolished the school, where are they going?"

"They're not rich, and they can't afford to hire a separate teacher. Wouldn't it ruin their lives?"

Liu Xiucai put a hat on Lin Dong's head and said.

"Ha ha."

Lin Dong smiled lightly and reasoned with him.

"First, I can't be called a hero, even if I get rid of the three evils you mentioned. In this county, it's just a jackal in the front and a tiger in the back."

"Secondly, you are an enlightenment gentleman, and you don't teach the Four Books and Five Classics. Where do you have such a big face, you can ruin other people's lives at every turn. Besides, I have inspected your students before, and the conditions at home are not bad."

"Some of them sell cloth, some run gold and silver jewelry stores, some run inns, and some of them have fish farms in their homes, and the worst are some small and medium landlords. How can they say something that will ruin their lives!"

"And the real poor people—will not appear in the school of a great scholar like you. Those people will exhaust their minds just for two meals a day."

Lin Dong rolled his eyes and retorted with reason.

"you you……"

Liu Xiucai was impatient.

"What are you?"

Lin Dong smiled but wasn't smiling.

"Then let's make a bet. If you win, I will dismantle it for you! I don't want the statue of Emperor Wenchang. I just want to give these children a haven to practice writing."

"If you lose, the Taiping Army won't be able to make plans here, and you have to stop the people outside who want to demolish the school building for me, how about it?"

Hahaha!
Lin Dong laughed.

"How can you bet? If you compete in poems and songs, wouldn't I just admit defeat?"

"No more than that, don't you claim to be extraordinary in martial arts? Let's compete in martial arts."

Liu Xiucai gritted his teeth and said.

"You can?"

Lin Dong glanced at him sideways.

Liu Xiucai's physique doesn't look like someone who knows how to practice martial arts.

"I don't know martial arts, but I can invite gods to come to me. Don't you believe in oracles? I'll let you see and see."

"Later, I will draw a circle on the ground. Let's not compete with fists. As long as you can force me out of the circle with your legs, you will win. On the other hand, if you can't do it, I will win. How about it?"

Liu Xiucai asked provocatively.

Lin Dong somewhat believed what the oracle said in the scholar's mouth, how could he dare to contradict himself like this if he had no real skills.

Immediately, Lin Dong thought for a while and smiled, "God fight? What kind of god are you inviting, Emperor Wenchang? Can you please come down?"

Liu Xiucai patted Lin Dong on the shoulder, and the two of them hooked together, their faces almost pressed together and said: "Although I can't invite the emperor, but the boy under him is deaf and dumb, so there is no problem!"

"Scholar, my Nine Palaces Chain Walk, no one has been able to break it so far! If you don't believe me, let's make gestures."

Liu Xiucai said excitedly again.

Lin Dong rolled his eyes on him, and after a while, he said in a deep voice, "Okay, there's no more competition, you win."
