Dialogue between ancient and modern: I create programs, national treasures have spirits

Chapter 218 Poet Immortal?Sword fairy?
"Wei'er, try this candied haws."

Lu Ze handed the candied haws that he had eaten to Wei'er behind him. Seeing that Wei'er opened her small mouth and took a small bite, and then her palm-sized face wrinkled into a bitter orange, he couldn't help laughing. stand up.

"My lord, it's so sour."

Wei'er sticks out her tongue, and as soon as the hawthorn with the size of a thumb enters the mouth, the sweetness has not yet spread out, the sour taste contained in the hawthorn meat has already surged to the tip of the tongue, and the sour tongue is trembling.

Just now Lu Ze didn't know, so he dried one directly, and it was almost so sour that it didn't deform. Wei'er was not bad, but just took a small bite.

"This candied haws is not sweet at all!"

Wei'er complained, pinching the candied haws, not daring to eat any more.

"Indeed, it's too much, throw it away, it's really hard to say."

"The son is wise."

Wei'er breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to eat the sour hawthorn anymore, but it was given by Lu Ze after all. It was really inappropriate for her to throw it away like this. She could only wait for Lu Ze to give the order.

Fortunately, Lu Ze is not the kind of person who has too many bad tastes, and it's not too much after teasing Wei'er. It's better to eat less of this sour candied haws.

After walking for a short while, all I saw was a bustling scene, somewhat similar to a commercial street in a big city in later generations, very lively.

"Wei'er, how does this place compare to Nanyang?"

"My lord, it's more lively here."

Wei'er replied honestly: "It's just too noisy, my ears are buzzing."

“It’s naturally lively when there are so many people.”

The commercial street is very long, but it always ends. After passing through this bustling commercial street, there is a quite broad square.

There are quite a few people here, but compared to the bustling scene of the previous commercial street, it is finally much quieter.

The square is large in area, and the ground is paved with gray-white stone tiles. In the center is an eye-catching stone statue, carved with the appearance of a man, holding a sword in both hands, and wearing a cloak, looking majestic.

Lu Ze naturally didn't know who this sculpture was, but there were quite a few people watching and admiring it. Jiangdu, as a fortress connecting the north and the south, had constant business and travel, so it also supported a lot of people who made a living by explaining the local customs. This No, seeing the look of doubt on Lu Ze's face, someone immediately came up to him, it was a young girl.

In ancient times, there have always been sayings about deep boudoirs and those raised in deep boudoirs who are ignorant. It is said that girls are in families, and generally they will not come out to show their faces, but this obviously refers to wealthy households with some wealth like the Zhang family. Well, ordinary people don't pay attention to this much, most of them drowned immediately after giving birth to girls, and the kind-hearted girls are raised by boys, and they have to suffer a lot since they were young.

The folk customs in Daliang are open, but girls are still not valued as much as boys, and the custom of drowning female babies is still maintained in many places. Although Jiangdu is prosperous, the atmosphere is only slightly better. If you want to come out to do things, if you don't have money, there is no such thing as raising it in a boudoir. I am afraid that you will starve to death at home.

The girl who came up to her was a bit dark and thin, not fair and cute like Weier at all, but her voice was still crisp and she didn't sound very old, but she looked a little older and looked much older than Weier.

The black and thin girl came forward and said crisply: "Master Wanfu, this is your first time in Jiangdu, right?"

"Yes."

Lu Ze nodded, looked at the timid girl in front of him, glanced at Wei Er, Wei Er nodded, took out a coin from her sleeve pocket, stuffed it into the girl's hand, and pointed Pointing to the tall statue: "My son wants to know who that is."

The black and thin girl accepted the money, smiled more on her face, and said a few blessings, and then began to talk about the story of this statue, which is probably a set of heroic deeds, and the name is also very interesting, It has the same name and surname as a person Lu Ze knew in his previous life.

Its name is Li Bai, and it has the same name and surname as Li Bai, the Poetry Immortal in Jiujiamian in Chang'an City, but his deeds are different, and the age is much older. He is the designer and supervisor of Jiangdu.

This is rather interesting. Looking at this tall statue, Lu Ze saw that thousands of years of wind, frost, snow and rain did not bring much change, but instead covered him with a thick layer of time. It is just that Li Bai in this world is the same as that in that world. Li Bai, is there any connection?
Counting the time, the difference is not much, it's just a few decades, but isn't Li Bai a poet?How did you become a designer?

Swordsmanship is quite famous, but what Li Bai is proud of, shouldn't it be the poem "The emperor can't get on the boat, and he claims to be a minister of wine", which is a bit unpredictable.

"This Li Bai, can he write poetry?"

Lu Ze glanced at the tall statue of Li Bai, and asked with some doubts.

"Returning to the son, this servant girl has never heard of it, but Lord Li Bai has a very good friend who is very good at writing poems, and is respected as the poet of the cottage."

"Thatched Poet Sage?" Lu Ze muttered, "Could it be Du Fu?"

"My son is well-informed, and the sage of thatched cottage is indeed Master Du Fu. The two adults have a very good relationship. It is said that after Master Li passed away, it was Master Du who personally buried him and left behind a treasure legend about Master Li. "

"Treasure legend?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze's interest increased greatly. This was something he had never heard of before.

"The young master is new here, so you may not know it. In Jiangdu, it has been rumored that Master Li has a treasure, which is buried in the North Ridge. It is said that in this treasure, there are martial arts secret books about Master Li's unique swordsmanship. A lot of people are keen to find it."

"Has anyone found it?"

"I don't know about this servant girl. There probably isn't one, but the legend has been circulating, because there are too many people who want to go to Beiling, and Jiangdu is the best transit point, so many people from Jianghu have gone to Jiangdu. Come, it brought a lot of trouble. The adults in Guiyi Bo’s Mansion have held a Taibai poetry meeting in Jiangdu every ten years for the past 200 years, and the final winners can enter the legendary treasure place to search for it. .”

"Then the latest Taibai Poetry Contest will be just a few days ago?"

"Young master already knows?"

"My guess."

"My lord is amazing, that's true. Three days later, the Taibai Poetry Fair will be held. Now many people from the Jianghu have come to Jiangdu, and it is much more lively than before."

Lu Ze was a little silent when he heard the words, and just sighed, this could hit him, and there really was a special power guiding him.

I inquired some news with the black and thin girl again, and gave some more money, and the two of them turned around the statue of Li Bai.

The Li Bai in this world did not leave popular poems as in his previous life, but a thorough chivalrous man with superb swordsmanship and a good reputation for being a chivalrous man everywhere.

According to the folklore, the seven swords cut off the river, the three swords cut off the evil dragons in the water, and then Jiangdu was established here, which is a bit of a fantasy. No one knows whether Li Bai is so strong after thousands of years.

As for Li Bai's treasure, it is said that the secret place where the peerless swordsmanship is buried is really exciting.

Wrapped in a thick layer of historical aura, Li Bai is like a god-man as in the legend, or an ordinary drunkard, who can say for sure, but this statue has stood here for thousands of years, and it still does not fall down. , also seems to be a strong proof.

"Wei'er, do you think Li Bai's Qinglian swordsmanship is really so magical?"

"Naturally, it can't compare with the secret knowledge passed down by the prince's family."

"That's not necessarily true. Thousands of years ago, there was no Lu family."

Wei'er curled her lips and stopped talking, and Lu Ze didn't care. After this vast square, it was Gui Yi Bo's mansion in style.

Like the Lu family, the Wang family is also at the "Bo" level, but the specifications are slightly worse.

The Lu family was granted the title of first-class Zhongyongbo, while the Wang family was only granted the third-class Guiyibo title. However, no matter how big or small, they were still "bo" at least, but there were some differences in etiquette.

In terms of strength, the Wang family is not weak. Relying on the existence of such a dangerous place like Jiangdu, coupled with the important geographical location connecting the north and the south, the wealth accumulated by the Wang family is absolutely no problem if you say that it is as rich as an enemy. .

As for who is stronger or weaker in terms of force, no one can tell without a violent collision.

"Let's go, it's time for dinner, let's go back to the inn first."

You can visit Guiyibo Mansion casually, and Lu Ze has no intention of revealing his identity to make friends with people in Guiyibo Mansion. Naturally, he chose to return, but compared with when he came out, he was a little more concerned. I guess I heard about Li Bai's treasure.

For these characters who were somewhat similar to those in his previous life, but with different characteristics, Lu Ze's feelings were very complicated. It was similar to the feeling of meeting an old friend in a foreign land, but the old friend quietly changed. Lu Ze could not talk about this kind of feeling. Whether the change is good or bad, but the desire to explore has really risen a bit.

He is not a person with too much curiosity. On the one hand, because of his status as a cleaner, and on the other hand, the educational experience he has experienced since childhood, all of which have prompted him to solve problems neatly, but after coming to this world, The low-speed and gentle living environment is also subtly changing his way of thinking.

Of course, the most important thing is that in this life, there is a big tree with luxuriant branches protecting him, otherwise life would not be so peaceful.

Even if he wants to enter the Ning Palace, the protection around him is not weak. It is really difficult for ninety-nine out of ten people in this world to break through the defense around him.

A comfortable and peaceful life will bring about changes in mentality, which is unavoidable. As for the inquiring mind, it is indeed something that happens after you are full and have nothing to do. You have to find some fun, right?

Back at the inn, after dinner, Lu Ze went straight into An Xuanye's room, ready to ask some questions.

Of course, this was done with An Xuanye's consent. Otherwise, if the black spear was hit casually, he would probably have to lie in the carriage for the rest of the journey.

I told An Xuanye what I saw and heard this morning. I thought An Xuanye would speak more, but I didn't expect her to be so indifferent. I just reminded a few words: "The son is backed by the Lu family. Are you still worried that you won't be able to get any secrets? What's more, the martial arts that the prince is now practicing is already top-notch in the world, so why bother to acquire some uncertain swordsmanship."

"It's just that I'm interested. Isn't General An interested? This is a character from a thousand years ago. Maybe there is something hidden in it."

"Martial arts are more sophisticated than they are, and miscellaneous is not good for future development, not to mention that there are many competitors, how does the prince know that he will definitely win?"

"This...Although I haven't made any achievements in martial arts, I still have some research on poetry and poetry."

Lu Ze told a lie. If it were the original Lu Ze, he might be able to say a few words of research. The current Lu Ze can only say one thing: I'm cheating.

It was indeed cheating. It was simply a copy of the articles written by everyone in the previous life. However, people in this world didn’t know or understand it. Lu Ze didn’t feel guilty about borrowing it like this.

"Just being confident is a benefit."

An Xuanye glanced at Lu Ze indifferently: "It's just that the son's information is not accurate."

"Does General An know more?"

"Your Majesty wants to know?"

"I would also like to ask General An to inform you one or two."

Lu Ze was a little surprised, but when he thought that he was a general after all, he could be regarded as a person with great hands and eyes, and he naturally knew more than himself, so the surprise was much less.

"If the prince wants to know, it's not difficult, as long as you agree to one condition."

"What conditions?"

"I can't say yet, but don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely not let you go up mountains of swords and seas of fire."

"Um……"

Lu Ze thought for a while, and added another sentence: "If it is aimed at the Lu family, then I can't agree."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, it won't involve any family."

"That's fine."

The two agreed verbally, but did not perform any other rituals.

They are all people with identities, so naturally they won't do anything superfluous. With their identities, they are not enemies. The constraints of rules and regulations are actually empty. They both understand each other's tempers, and naturally feel more at ease.

Of course, what Lu Ze was worried about was An Xuanye's temperament, and what An Xuanye was most worried about was the comparison of strength.

Seeing that Lu Ze agreed, An Xuanye naturally didn't mean to procrastinate, and directly told Lu Ze the secret.

After all this, Lu Ze had a better understanding of the whole matter in his heart. Compared with the information he got from the outside world, what An Xuanye provided was more accurate and more credible.

As for the truth, Lu Ze is not worried. An Xuanye is not enough to deceive herself. If there is a mistake, it means that the mistake happened when the matter was recorded. But speaking of it, there are quite a lot of differences, and All key differences.
