Tibet

Chapter 44
There is a common saying called 'the ideal is full, but the reality is skinny. '

Li Ye had never been out of the city. He thought it would be nice to live outside the city, but he was disappointed when he actually went to see it. He didn't like Sanqiao Town at all. There were too many prostitutes and rogues. The personnel composition is extremely complex, a typical urban-suburban junction.

As for the villages in the south, the quietness is very quiet, like a paradise, but he came to Datang not to be born, but to enter the world.

More importantly, since he couldn't find his own home, what was he going to do outside the city?
Li Ye went to the palace in the afternoon and handed Mo Jinma over to Manager Qiao, then got into a bullock cart and went home.

The coachman with a black body is very talkative and knowledgeable.

"What are you going to do outside the city? You don't know that once the city gate is closed, it feels like a child kicked out of the house by his parents. Chang'an City doesn't belong to you anymore. I lived outside the city for 20 years, and it was hard to squeeze in." After entering the city, I have never heard of anyone willing to move outside the city.”

"Do you think the rivers in the city are too dirty? Let me tell you that there are many clean rivers in Chang'an City. You haven't been to the workshops where the rich and powerful live, have you? Go and see the four workshops of Wubenfang, Xingdaofang, Guanglufang, and Taipingfang. , the river water inside is so clear that you can drink it directly.”

"Young man, you are still young. You have to live in the city to have a chance. Outside the city is a place for the elderly, and the people in those villages are very exclusive. You, an outsider, moved there and stared at you like a thief."

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Along the way, Balabala also completely dispelled Li Ye's idea of ​​moving outside the city.

During dinner, Pei Sanniang asked with a smile, "How was your trip outside the city today?"

Li Ye sighed and said, "Mother, I don't want to move out of the city anymore!"

Pei Sanniang and Aunt Mu looked at each other, they were not surprised at all, Pei Sanniang smiled and said: "If you don't go, don't go! Let's buy the land next to the river in the back, the house has an acre of land, and then change the mud wall Brick the wall and you'll be satisfied."

Li Ye quickly added: "Make the courtyard wall a little higher, and fill it with broken glass!"

"What is glass?" Aunt Mu asked strangely.

It was only then that Li Ye remembered that glass from the Tang Dynasty had not yet entered ordinary people's homes. He scratched his head and said, "Glass is colored glaze!"

Pei Sanniang shook her head, "You're talking nonsense, the colored glaze is affordable for high-ranking officials, it has nothing to do with us, but you have a good idea, you can use an arrowhead to stick it upside down in the cracks of the bricks, I've seen people use it before, no one dares to climb the wall gone."

Pei Sanniang never mentioned the matter of studying again. She read her son's handwriting practice manuscript today, and the handwriting was actually very good, even better than her own, and she knew a lot of words, so there was no need to go to primary school again.

After dinner, Li Ye began to sit at the table and practice writing. In fact, he had practiced calligraphy in another world. Although he knew how to write, his hands couldn't control him, so he wrote like earthworms crawling.

Since yesterday, he has tried to use the method of controlling his mind to practice calligraphy, that is to say, let his hands write according to his own consciousness. As long as he controls the stability and strength of his hands, then what structure should a character be and how to write it well? Consciousness is clear.

After he practiced [-] characters last night, his technique became more and more proficient, and he gradually recovered most of the level of his previous life. This is the magical effect of controlling the mind in calligraphy.

Of course, controlling the mind is not a panacea. It doesn't mean that you can practice what you want in an instant. The premise is that you have worked hard and know how to write.

Li Ye had already put away the copybook and began to write some poems he had memorized in his previous life, but he was very cautious and tried to write the poems that had already appeared. The poems and articles he memorized in his previous life were all masterpieces of famous masters, and any one of them could shake the literary world. If it spreads out, it will bring him endless troubles.

The tide of the Chunjiang River connects to the sea, and the moon and the sea coexist.

Yan Yan has followed the waves for thousands of miles, where is the spring river without moonlight!
． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．
Pei Sanniang came over with a plate of snacks. Li Ye was too absorbed in writing and didn't notice his mother's arrival.

Pei Sanniang looked at the handwriting he wrote, and was very surprised. How could it be better than yesterday's handwriting?

"Ah!" Pei Sanniang exclaimed suddenly, "Why is it "Moonlight on the Spring River", Yeer, where did you learn it?"

Li Ye rolled up his sleeves, and said calmly: "I visited a bookstore a few days ago, saw this poem, read it a few times and wrote it down."

"You still have a photographic memory?" Pei Sanniang was even more surprised.

"I didn't have it before. After practicing the mental method with my uncle and the medicine he gave me, I feel that my memory is getting better and better. Practicing calligraphy is also the same. I practice calligraphy with the mental method. I can write well in just a few days. And the more you write, the better."

Li Ye understated it, and attributed everything to controlling his mind. Others may not believe it, but Pei Sanniang firmly believes it.

What the son said was the secret knowledge that their Pei family had lost for many years. For some reason, the cousin Pei Min managed to master it. Could it be that his son also has this talent?

But his son is Li, not Pei!Thinking of the surname Li, Pei Sanniang suddenly thought of the handsome and gentle young man more than ten years ago.

She walked out of the room slowly, sat on the well platform, and looked at the golden full moon in the sky. For a while, she fell into the memories of the past.

. . . . . . . . .

At one o'clock, Li Ye came to the backyard of the temple, and saw Zhang Xiaopang hacking like crazy. He was going to move tomorrow. He didn't know if he could learn martial arts again, so he vented all his anger on chopping. middle.

Pei Min still gave advice to Zhang Xiaopang as usual, but Xiaopang has already practiced very well.

"I heard from Xiaopang that you are going to move to Sanqiao too?" Pei Min asked in a deep voice as he walked to the side.

Li Ye shook his head and said, "I don't want to leave the city, nor do I want to move."

"why?"

"No reason, I don't like outside the city!"

Pei Min was silent for a moment and asked, "Are you still going to practice swords in the well?"

Li Ye still shook his head, "I'm planning to go to Wubenfang. I heard that the water over there is very clean. I can dive into the workshop from the bottom of the river."

"No! The water over there is too shallow to be seen easily."

Pei Min thought for a while, and said to Li Ye: "Go down the well, then climb up and show me!"

Li Ye took off his coat and jumped into the well. After a while, he threw the cue up first, and then climbed up the well wall. At the beginning, when he practiced sword underwater, he couldn't climb up at all. It is smooth and can only climb up to the mouth of the well by pulling the well rope.

But after practicing for a month, he gradually found that climbing the well wall is not difficult. As long as there is a little gap to lend him strength, he can easily climb up with his bare hands.

Seeing him climb up, Pei Min said again: "Climb down again, don't jump!"

It was easier to climb down, and Li Ye went down after three or two strokes.

"Okay, come up!"

Li Ye climbed up, Pei Min pointed at the clothes, "Put on the clothes and follow me."

"Uncle, where are you going?"

Pei Min ignored him, turned around and left.

Li Ye had no choice but to put on his coat indiscriminately, and followed Pei Min with a cue.

Not long after, Pei Min brought him to the city wall. Yonghefang was close to the city wall, and he could see the inside of the place from the top of the city.

The city wall of Chang'an is not considered high, only two feet, that is, a six-story building. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the city wall has only been repaired once, and it is more than 50 years ago.

More than [-] years of wind and rain have made the city wall very old and damaged. It looks magnificent from a distance, but when you look closely, you will find that it is full of scars and vicissitudes.

Li Ye already understood what Pei Min meant, and went out of the city over the wall, but there were no guards on the top of the city?
Pei Min seemed to understand his worry, and said lightly: "There are soldiers patrolling the top of the city during the day, but at night the soldiers are looking for a place to sleep. There are only soldiers standing guard above the city gate. It's far away from here, so don't worry!"

He drew out his sword and struck the city wall. The city bricks shattered and a hole the size of a fist appeared. He flew up and walked on the city wall like clouds and flowing water.

Zhang Xiaopang may be stunned, but Li Ye can understand it. This is the same as climbing up the wall of a well. As long as there is a little bit of leverage, he can step on it, and the city wall is slightly A little lopsided, and he has just the right balance in the air.

Of course Pei Min is much smarter than himself, but Li Ye has seen the direction. He feels that in another year, he can also achieve Pei Min's step.

Pei Min had already gone to the city, standing on the top of the city and said, "Climb up!"

Li Ye put the cue stick behind him, and with the help of the hole Pei Min made on the wall, he climbed extremely quickly. The hole in the wall is very large, which is much easier than a little corner on the wall of the well. Li Ye climbed in just a moment. went to town.

It was very quiet on the top of the city, and there was not a single soldier in sight, and they all went to sleep, he looked back again, the lights in the city were dotted, and under the moonlight, the houses stretched as far as the eye could see, which was quite spectacular.

"Let's go down town!"

They walked quickly to the other side, there was no need to drill holes, there were many damaged bricks on the city wall, Pei Min flew down the city like a sword, Li Ye didn't have such ability, he had to climb the damaged parts to go down the city , but it was also very fast, and he went down the city with two strokes.

Outside the city was a moat, about three feet wide, and there happened to be a few abandoned broken boats by the river, and the broken boats were connected together, taking up half of the river.

"Follow me, you can do it!"

Pei Min jumped onto the wrecked boat, ran a few steps, jumped up, spread his arms out like a falcon's wings, then retracted his wings in an instant, and landed gently on the opposite bank, a foot or five feet away.

'At worst, just fall into the water! '

Li Ye threw the cue over first, he rubbed his hands, followed Pei Minyi's example and jumped onto the boat, galloped a few steps and jumped up, instinctively opened his arms, he could feel the lightness of his body, He even jumped a foot and five feet away, and landed on the other side with ease.

Pei Min's face was expressionless, but a complicated expression flashed in his eyes. Li Ye had only practiced for more than a month, and it was equal to the effect of his hard training for half a year. Could this be talent?
"Let's go! Go to Fengshui."

Pei Min ran into the darkness, and Li Ye picked up the cue and followed with all his strength. The figures of the two gradually disappeared into the night.
