Datang Fenghua Road

Niujia Town is becoming more and more prosperous, and the shops in the town are already prosperous. This group of bearded people came to the morning dew early in the morning, but they could not find a place to set up a stall for half an hour.

No matter which shop door they go to, they will always be waved and scolded away, and the bearded people will not pray or refute, but will continue to look for it in loneliness.

Unfortunately, still can't find it!

The bearded people are very thin, and their bodies are tightly wrapped. Whether in spring and autumn or winter and summer, they always wear the hood attached to their clothes. Some people in Niujia Town were curious and wanted to open it, but the result was provoked. The beards desperately resisted.

These beards are very timid and rarely resist anything, but the only thing they resist is fierce, that is, no one is allowed to lift their hoods.

Today, they haven't found a place to set up a stall. The bearded people are obviously very lonely, but they are still unwilling to continue their search.

At this moment, the rising sun in the east finally broke through the clouds, and the sky and the earth suddenly became bright, and the vast golden light filled the sky and the earth.

The thinnest leader in the beard turned his head slowly, his blue eyes stared at the rising sun, his big bright eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly let out a lonely sigh.

"The West has been desperate, and the last hope is only here. However, my teacher, Aya did not find the hope you said. I also dare not lift my hood in the East..."

This Aya's sighing voice was a woman.

She let out a loneliness again, and walked slowly towards a corner of the street. There was a very narrow open space. Next to the open space was a stinky ditch with sewage flowing. This place should not be driven away. She decided to let the clansmen live there today Stall here.

No one is driving this place, but no one will come here. When pedestrians pass by, they all cover their noses and walk fast.

Aya laid out the carpet in a lonely way, and then sat on the ground with a face full of piety. She knew that no one would come, but she still looked towards the street with longing.

Perhaps it was her piety that moved the gods of the East, and today two distinguished guests came to Aya's booth.

This is a real honored guest, because Aya knows these two people, although the other party may not recognize her, but Aya knew these two people early.

The two are a man and a woman. The man is the mayor of Niujia Town, and the woman is an economic official in Niujia Town. Aya has also heard people say that the female economic official in Niujia Town has a powerful background, and his righteousness My father was the former King Zhao of the West Palace. Oh, he is no longer King Zhao of the West Palace. I heard that His Royal Highness has established his own powerful empire. He is now the emperor.

The presence of the distinguished guests was very joyful, but Aya's heart did not fluctuate much. She just bowed respectfully, and then asked very quietly and politely, "Excuse me, the two distinguished guests, do you want to divination?"

It has been several years since she arrived in this land, and Aya's Chinese is very eloquent. After she saluted, regardless of whether the other party agreed or not, she took out her own tarot cards.

"Interesting, really interesting..." The woman opposite smiled and said strangely: "You should have heard of my name, and you dare to count tarot cards for me?"

Aya was stunned, as if she didn't understand what she meant.

The woman opposite was Tian Xiu'er, and Li Chunfeng, who was also named a closed disciple by Taoist Yuan Tiangang, suddenly bent down and squatted in front of Aya's booth, giggling and said, "You have been in Niujia Town for eight years, right? , In fact, I paid attention to you eight years ago, you have been in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty for so long, you should know that this girl is a child of the Taoist family in the Central Plains..."

The words have been revealed, and it is useless to cover up, Aya nodded respectfully, then bowed again, and replied softly: "You are right, Your Royal Highness, Aya does know your identity and you. It is the new white lotus root of Taoism in the Central Plains!"

Tian Xiu'er was slightly startled by this, and couldn't help but curiously said, "Since you know that I am a Taoist white lotus, you still dare to continue talking about fortune-telling in front of me?"

Taoism is divided into safflower, white lotus root, and green lotus leaf. The safflower is as delicate as blood, representing fighting and killing. Therefore, the safflower lineage is the protector of the Central Plains, such as the real Ziyang back then, such as Han Yue and Xu Buyan now. .

The white lotus root hides in the silt and has insight into all things, so the white lotus root represents the study of Taoist calculation, and the research is all about exhausting the principles of heaven and earth.

As for the green lotus leaf, it is easier to understand. Hanging the pot can help the world and save life and death. This is the way of medicine in Taoism. There are many representatives of the past dynasties, such as Bian Que and Zhang Zhongjing. He is almost eighty years old, but he has yet to find a closed disciple.

It is said that the old man was very impatient. Not long ago, he traveled thousands of miles to Lingnan. He found his nephew, Emperor Zhaowu of the Huaxia Empire, and asked Han Yue to help him find an apprentice.

Tian Xiu'er knelt on the ground like Aya did, and didn't seem to care about the dirty ditch next to her. Behind her stood the mayor of Niujia Town, the third son of Niu, who also wanted to learn when she saw his wife sitting on her knees.

Unexpectedly, Tian Xiu'er suddenly turned back and scolded, with a face full of hatred for iron not being steel: "This is a matter of learned people, your brain is not enough, these days the glass sintering factory is under a lot of pressure, if you have nothing to do, you can go there. While doing scheduling..."

Niu Laosan was reprimanded with blood on the head, but his face did not reduce the sullen look, instead he stood up with a smile, and said with a simple and honest face: "What Madam said, I really want to go to Liulichang to take a look. There are also cement factories, brick and tile kilns, and jade processing factories. Oh, there are so many things to do. I’m leaving and I’m leaving. Madam is doing her studies here, and the town’s affairs let me come…”

Saying that, he lifted his foot and walked, and in a blink of an eye, the meteor disappeared at the end of the street.

Neither Tian Xiu'er nor Aya paid attention to Niu Lao San's departure. The two of them still sat on the ground and looked at each other. After a long time, Tian Xiu'er suddenly smiled and said meaningfully: "As a woman, you cover your face all day long. Under the face towel, this girl is really a pity for you, don’t Westerners love beauty? But how do I remember my adoptive father once said that Western women like to show their faces more than Eastern women?”

After speaking for a while, he suddenly leaned forward slightly, stared straight at Aya's eyes, and said solemnly: "If I guess right, you should be beautiful, why cover up your face? , you must know that my Tang Dynasty is no better than the West, especially in Niujiazhen, no one dares to bully men and women..."

After speaking here, he paused again, suddenly pointed his finger at his face, and said with a smile: "Look at me again, this girl is not really beautiful, but I have to take care of my face every day, so that people can always be seen. Can see my face!"

Aya was stunned for a moment, then shook her head with a wry smile, her face was still covered under the hood and face towel, she suddenly looked up at the rising sun in the east, and said very lonely: "We are used to covering up, not accustomed to taking Take down your towel."

Tian Xiu'er was a little curious and couldn't help but ask, "Why is this?"

Aya's language was bitter, and it took a long time before he replied softly, "Because I'm afraid of death..."

This time, it was Tian Xiu'er's turn to be startled.

Aya glanced at her faintly, her tone suddenly became envious, and she whispered again: "Dear Your Highness, you should be glad that you have a powerful foster father whose wings can cover the sky, so any Storms can't blow you, and we people can't, not to mention stormy weather, even a thin thread of rain will wet your clothes."

These words are clearly about the weather, but in fact they are talking about people’s hearts secretly.Tian Xiu'er nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly said, "So your life is in danger in the West?"

Aya suddenly cheered up and explained loudly: "We are not afraid of the danger of our lives, even if we are burned at the stake, we still retain our piety of faith, what we are afraid of is the loss of knowledge, what we are afraid of is the loss of dreams, My teacher told me that if you go to the East, you can only continue your beliefs if you go to the East. In this land of the East, any thought can survive, and any knowledge can be studied..."

He stopped abruptly at this point, his tone suddenly changed to disappointment, and then he said: "So we came all the way to the East, only to find that what the teacher said was completely wrong, what the teacher said was the era of the East hundreds of years ago. , that was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period of your Han people, and it was only then that a hundred schools of thought were allowed to resonate."

There were tears in her eyes, and she suddenly grabbed the delicate tarot card on the ground, and said loudly: "Dear titled princess, do you really think we can't put down the tarot card? The reason why we insist on using it every day is actually because I am reminding myself not to forget our origin. The land of Datang is too beautiful, and the people’s life is too rich. If we can’t remind ourselves with tarot cards from time to time, we may be influenced by the culture of Datang and forget our origin. It's a very scary thing, more scary than being tied at the stake..."

The tone of these words was very excited, causing the sentences to be somewhat long-winded, but Tian Xiu'er was awe-inspiring, and suddenly saluted solemnly: "Today, Fang Zhiyifu is right, no matter in the East or the West, there are respectable people. You have come all the way, and I, Tian Xiuer, would like to solemnly apologize here. I’m sorry, I’ve followed you for eight years, but I haven’t been able to lend a helping hand. I’m sorry, this is not respect for knowledge. If my adoptive father Knowing this, he must be very disappointed with what I did."

Tian Xiu'er also did not follow her words, but learned from Aya that she generally used Western-style vernacular. Although it sounds a bit long-winded and not as beautiful as Chinese, doing so can make Aya feel the respect in her words to the greatest extent.

Tears were clearly overflowing from her eyes, and she held her tarot card tightly in both hands. She held the tarot card on her chest and muttered to herself, "Only the East can continue her dream. Years passed, and I finally met someone who respected me for the first time!"

She stopped here for a while, stretched out her hand and wiped the corner of her eyes, and said sadly: "The only pity is that this is no longer the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period where a hundred schools of thought contend, but I still want to thank you, Your Highness, the honorable titled County Master, you The encouragement from me is very timely, so that the light of hope that is about to be extinguished will no longer shake..."

However, just no more shaking!

Aya doesn't know how long she can hold on, or how long her companions can hold on.

Tian Xiu'er suddenly reached into her arms, and then took out a letter very solemnly. She opened the letter with a serious face and handed it forward, and suddenly she smiled and said, "Look at the letter written by my foster father, inviting you to go to Lingnan. He's going to build a bigger institute there..."

Aya was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to react, and exclaimed: "King Zhao of the Western Mansion... Oh, no, is it the Emperor Zhaowu of the Huaxia Empire?"

She was very excited and reached out and grabbed the letter, but saw a line of poems written by the dragon and snake on it: It is difficult to live in China, and it is better to watch the fish than the Danube.There is no stake in the East, I love erudition in my heart.

Aya exclaimed again, attracting the companions next to her in a panic. Aya pointed to the letter with trembling hands, and said with a shocked face: "Look at this poem, this is our text..."

The beards looked shocked, their eyes staring blankly at the letter.

Tian Xiu'er suddenly smiled and stood up, then she waved at the street not far away, then she turned around and winked at Aya mischievously, and said with a smile: "Go to Lingnan, the foster father is there waiting for you, but you Don't seduce my adoptive father, or our friendship will turn to ashes..."

Chapter 822 Second Master, a good way to go

Tian Xiu'er beckoned and called out a carriage. The wheels of the carriage were actually made of rubber. There were no more than ten such carriages in the Tang Dynasty.

She turned her head and glanced at Aya, then pointed to the carriage with a smile on her face, and said, "Here, you all get in this carriage, and then start from Niujia Town and go all the way south to Jianghuai. fleet, when you get there, take out this letter from my adoptive father, and you can take any ship at that time..."

Aya was a little surprised, and the group of beards beside her, whose faces were covered by hoodies, were also surprised.

Aya stood up timidly, and carefully looked at the carriage that Tian Xiuer had brought, her eyes were filled with wonder and envy.
