Qin Chu Yuhuang

Jiang Jitang bowed in front of his parents' graves, packed his bags and turned his back to leave Chencang, but he was only in his hair.His elder sister has long been married, and has not heard from his family for a long time. From now on, no matter how vast the world is, he can only face the ups and downs alone.

On the eve of leaving for Xianyang, his childhood playmates had a farewell party with him.They were almost drunk at the banquet, and someone tapped a few cases with a cup and said, "Ji Tang, if we can meet again in the future, you must tell us about Xianyang! Once we go, we don't know anything. It's time to come back."

The teenagers put on the leather armor that their mother had just sewed, and weapons were scattered all over the mat.Soon after, they will also go to the battlefield and give their lives for the military merit system that may change their destiny.

Jiang Jitang raised his head and drank a glass of wine.He beat the drums drunkenly, and the sound of the drums was far away, as if he was describing the vague and unknowable future.

The twilight slanted through the window and fell onto the table on the table. Jiang Jitang held up the jade and observed its carving under the light.Seemingly finally satisfied, he walked quickly with the jade bi in his hand, and handed it to an old man with white beard and hair respectfully.The old man looked at it for a long time, nodded in satisfaction and said, "Ji Tang, your skills have improved again."

"Don't dare to be, Ji Tang is still far from the teacher's requirements," said so, but Jiang Jitang still showed a little proud look on his face.He changed his mind, and suddenly asked cautiously: "Excuse me, teacher, I heard that the new jade man from Chu State has made some achievements in jade treatment. I don't know how the students compare with him?"

The old man smiled: "Don't always bully others. Ji Tang, you and him are both geniuses in treating jade, and both can work hard. I dare not say which is better, but as long as you can maintain today's momentum, you can achieve great success." Expect."

Jiang Jitang left the room after paying his respects, turned his back and went to the window to look for the man.It seems that the newly arrived jade people from Chu State were squeezed out of Yingdu, drifting all the way to Qin State, and now they are blocked by the battle between Qin and Chu.At first he was very arrogant and refused to carve jade in the way of Qin State, saying that I just lived here temporarily so how could I forget the craftsmanship of my hometown. Sometimes he always sits at the window and looks towards the southeast, as if he wants to let his soul cross the mountains and return to his dreaming hometown.

Jiang Jitang always can't understand his behavior, what's wrong with our Qin country!Talented people from all over the world are recruited, and the people are united and advocating martial arts. Even the decorations on the jade wares are so simple and practical, which is much better than those gaudy decorations in Chu State that make people look dizzy.However, Chu people's carvings are too beautiful, gorgeous and complex, smooth and flexible, not at all like a young man who has not yet reached the level of the crown, and it has taken away the teacher's attention from him.

Jiang Jitang was very depressed. Every day he was thinking about how to regain his glory so as to re-establish his image as a young genius.He often sat in front of the mound for a whole day, but he was still not as fast as the man's progress.Jiang Jitang was furious, so he would often go to the man's table and stare at him to fix the jade. The man was not annoyed, he looked up at him, and continued to carve the jade pendant, never hiding his craftsmanship.

Hmph, it's not that bad.Hey, that's not a bad way to handle it.What?How can you still cut like this?Looking at it, Jiang Jitang completely forgot his original purpose and devoted himself to studying and thinking wholeheartedly.

When the stars were hanging high, the Chu people finally completed the last process of polishing.Seeing that Jiang Jitang hadn't left yet, the people of Chu were a little surprised for a moment. Jiang Jitang said embarrassedly: "Tian Luli, I was wrong earlier. I was too self-righteous. Here I apologize to you. Your skills are amazing. I don't know if you are willing to teach them." I?"

Tian Luli was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay."

When they were weak crowns, they should have their own characters, but their father had passed away long ago, so they had no choice but to get their own characters.When Jiang Jitang came to find Tian Luli, Tian Luli was writing his own words on the bamboo slips in the Chu language.

"...Zi...heng?" Jiang Jitang struggled to decipher the Chu characters, and asked, "Lu Li, why did you choose this character for yourself?"

"Jade is like Lu Li, and Du Heng is also a common herb in my hometown. Beautiful jade and fragrant grass are compared to the virtue of a gentleman, so that we can live up to the kindness of our family and country." Tian Luli said with a smile, with a firm look in the corner of his eyes, "Ji Don, what about you?"

"Me? My character... Don't be ridiculous when you say it. I have no literary talent. My character is Zinan."

This time it was Tian Luli's turn to be stunned, but after thinking about it, he understood again, and said, ""Qin Feng·Zhong Nan"? When you named it, you also chose the meaning of the text, right?"

"What is there in Zhongnan? Where there is a tree, there are plums. A gentleman is the only one, and he is dressed in brocade and fox fur. His face is like Wodan, so is his gentleman?

What is there in Zhongnan?There is Ji Youtang.A gentleman ends up wearing clothes and embroidering clothes.Peiyu will be a general, and he will never forget his life test. "Jiang Jitang chanted, "Jia Yan hopes that I can have sharp edges and corners like Zhong Nanshan without losing a broad mind. "

"You Ji Youtang is indeed a beautiful character." Tian Luli praised, "Zi Nan, although you were a bit stubborn when you were young, as long as you work hard, you still have a chance to reach the realm of perfection and beauty."

"Ziheng, you are laughing at me again..." Jiang Jitang seemed a little embarrassed when he thought of all the things he did back then, and he was a little reluctant to bring up such old things again.Tian Luli thought for a while, and a smile gradually appeared in the corner of his eyes.Jiang Jitang glared at him, but it was his own fault, so he had no choice but to look back regretfully.

A few years later, Tian Luli received a letter with the news of his brother's death, and returned home without hesitation while the war subsided.After the master retired, the brothers' jealousy towards Jiang Jitang could no longer be concealed, and one day it finally broke out through Qin Ying's arrangement.

Jiang Jitang didn't care, he had already seen through the nature of these villains, and it was only a matter of time before conflicts broke out.Over the years, he often discussed jade carving skills with Tian Luli, and the skills of the two became more and more exquisite.Even if he leaves Xianyang, he can still gain a foothold.

Jiang Jitang suddenly thought, didn't Tian Luli leave Yingdu because of villains?Although you should always be broad-minded and don't care about villains.But being surrounded by rumors and gossip is really a boring thing.Recalling Tian Luli's lonely demeanor at that time, Jiang Jitang couldn't help feeling distressed.

Following him all the way through the Dongting and Youyunmeng to Yingdu, Jiang Jitang finally understood why Tian Luli missed Chu so much.Although the countryside has withered due to the war, he was amazed by the beautiful mountains and rivers, the fragrant Lanzhi Duruo, the simple rural folk customs, the gorgeous palaces and exquisite utensils in Yingdu.And Qu Zi who visited by the bank of Yunmeng Lake is really a real gentleman with a gentle heart, and his heart shines brightly, which is truly unforgettable.

During his time in Yingdu, Jiang Jitang was able to enjoy the scenery of Chudu.He was intoxicated by this fairy capital on earth with towering pavilions, and couldn't help but linger.Both he and Tian Luli have reached the Dacheng state. If they want to make progress at this time, they must improve their self-cultivation.He often discussed the Tao with Tian Luli. Tian Luli admired Qu Zi since he was a child, and he also dabbled in Lao Zhuang.Jiang Jitang compared the legalist thought he had learned with Confucianism and Taoism, and gradually gained a lot of understanding. From now on, the carver is like a pen running like a dragon and a snake, as if he is swimming indefinitely without waiting for anything.

The peaceful and beautiful years are always short-lived. The war broke the peace of Yingdu, and this kind of disaster was brought about by his mother country.Seeing the people in the city fleeing in a hurry, Jiang Jitang remembered how proud he was of the mighty Qin army when he was young, and most of the friends who went off in armor all died at a young age in successive years of battles.The flames of war have been going on for so many years, how many lives and civilizations have been devoured, when will the world get long-term peace?

He took Tian Luli and escaped from Yingdu on a boat. He heard that Qin general Baiqi destroyed the entire city not long after.The state of Qin is determined to completely destroy the state of Chu, and let her army, wealth, and culture be dissipated in the long river of history.

The mountains in Dongting County are gentle and soft, as if they want to keep guests and call them back.Although the years in the mountains are hard, the peaceful days are something that many people dream of but cannot get.Tian Luli was always guilty of letting him stay in the mountains and not show his talents, but how could he be willing to return to that cold-blooded capital all alone.

He had carved a piece of jade huang for Tian Luli, hoping that Tian Luli would carve his own ornamentation on the jade huang.Now that he received a gift from the beauty, he couldn't bear to disappoint the beauty's wishes and teachings over the years, so he used uncut jade to re-carve a jade huang with Qin and Chu patterns.Jade huang can ward off evil spirits, but these two pieces of jade huang should be our tokens?Jiang Jitang thought so.

Qin Chu fought and made peace, Tian Luli took him to see the mountains and flowers blooming like brocades, and finally stood by the river and let him leave reluctantly.

How many years has he been guilty in his heart.Jiang Jitang thought.I have no relatives in that cold-blooded country, and Chu has a philosopher I respect, a beautiful scenery, and people I have depended on for many years. How can I be willing to leave?

Seeing Tian Luli shed tears after hearing the words, Jiang Jitang felt that his heart had never been so peaceful.

After returning to the courtyard side by side, Tian Luli suddenly took out the harp that he played "Ji Chu" with Jiang Jitang from the room, stroked the strings and sang: "What is there in the end? There are plums in the tree. A gentleman is as good as he is, and he is dressed in brocade and fox fur. Yan Like Odan, who is his king?

What is there in Zhongnan?There is Ji Youtang.A gentleman ends up wearing clothes and embroidering clothes.Peiyu will be a general, and he will never forget his life test. "

After that, he glanced at Jiang Jitang tenderly, and continued to sing: "General Peiyu, I will never forget my life test."

Jiang Jitang played the beat for him, and suddenly felt that his life was like his own words. He came from the Qin Kingdom, kept the right path and broadened his mind while he and Tian Luli forged ahead, and eventually grew old in the south of the Yangtze River.

Thinking of this, he smiled, leaned over and hugged Tian Luli in his arms.
