The hidden hermit and the nie yinniang who was born with a different bone

Writing chivalry in the Tang legend has become a theme. Among the most wonderful novels, I think there are two, one is "Kunlun Nu" and the other is "Nie Yinniang". Both novels are written by Pei.

Kunlun Nu is a hidden hero, that is to say, he lurks in the folk, if he is not exposed, it is difficult for others to find.

Why is it called "Kunlun Nu"?

"Kunlun" refers to the place name, referring to the southern part of present-day Indochina and the area of the South China Sea Islands, and "slave" refers to identity.

Kunlunnu's name was Miller, and his master's name was Cui Sheng. Cui Sheng's official was not big, but only a minor official in the emperor's guard. However, the status was very noble, and the guards who could be the emperor at that time were all from noble origins.

Once, Cui Sheng was sent by his father to visit a Yipin officer who was ill. Yipin let Cui Sheng enter the inner chamber. Then three very beautiful prostitutes were summoned and invited to eat cherries.

This cherry is very exquisite. The cherries are fitted with a golden bottle, and the cherries inside are pitted and coated with cheese.

Cui Sheng was a handsome teenager, well behaved, and spoke elegantly, but when he saw such a beautiful woman, he was a little helpless, so he sat there and did not eat. The yipin officer must tell him to eat, so he ordered one of the women dressed in red to feed him with a spoon, and Cui Sheng had to eat a few.

Seeing his embarrassed face, everyone laughed at him.

Cui Sheng resigned and came out, and Yipin asked the red-robed prostitute to send him to the door. Cui Sheng walked out and turned back to see the red-robed singer still standing in the doorway. Seeing him turn back, the red-robed singer stretched out three fingers upwards, flipped her palm three more times, and then pointed to a small mirror on her chest and said, "Remember," without saying anything more.

Cui Sheng returned home, thinking left and right, unable to understand, making sleep and food uneasy, and becoming emaciated day by day. Seeing his master like this, Miller asked what was going on.

At first, Cui Sheng didn't believe him at all, saying, How can you people know what is in my heart? Miller said, you might as well talk about it, I can always help you do it. Cui Sheng said this again. After listening, Miller said, how come you didn't say it earlier, it's a small thing.

The three fingers that were erected pointed out that there were ten court singers and prostitutes in the courtyard of the Yipin Master, and she was the third courtyard; the palm was flipped three times, implying fifteen, and then pointed to the small mirror on the chest, referring to the fifteenth moon night, please come over.

Cui Sheng suddenly realized, excited. However, Miller reminded him that things were not so simple, because he had heard that the family of the yipin officer had a vicious dog, which was as big as a tiger and fierce. Hearing this, Cui Sheng was overwhelmed again.

Miller said, it doesn't matter, I have a way to deal with the vicious dog. By the evening of the fifteenth. Trison drinks wine with Miller and eats meat. When he was half drunk, Miller went out and came back in a moment, saying that the dog had been solved and could now go.

Miller let Cui Sheng wear a night-time suit, carry him over the wall, and soon came to the courtyard of the prostitute.

At this time, all the guards in the family of the Yipin grand master were asleep, and the surroundings were quiet. They came to the window of the third courtyard and found that the window was not closed, the red light inside was flashing, and the prostitute in red was sitting inside dressed very beautifully, and was sighing for a long time, saying that his feelings had been aroused, why did Cui Sheng not come until now?

Hearing this, Cui Sheng quickly climbed the window and entered. The prostitute in red was first happy, and then asked, knowing that you were clever, so she hinted in sign language, but the security here was so tight, how could you enter?

Cui Sheng did not hide it either, and told him of Mo Le's plot. The red-robed prostitute heard that Miller had such a skill, and hurriedly called Miller in. Ask him to help escape from here and be willing to live with Choi Sang.

Hearing this, Cui Sheng did not speak, but Miller agreed, saying that this is easy. He first ran back and forth three times carrying the various clothes of the red-robed singer-in-law, and finally escaped from the home of a big member of the Yipin clan with Cui Sheng and the red-robed singer-prostitute on his back.

After dawn, a pin officer discovered the situation, but he couldn't figure it out, so tight that he actually let people escape.

This matter was originally over, and after two years, during a spring trip, the red-robed singer was discovered by the family of Yipin And knew that he was hiding in Cui Sheng's house.

Yipin called Cui Sheng to question, and Cui Sheng put all the responsibility on Mo Le. Yipin said that the real sinners of this matter were the red-robed prostitutes and Mo Le.

The prostitute in red has been following you for two years, that's all, but Miller can't help but punish you. So he sent 50 soldiers to surround Cui Sheng's house and arrest Mo Le.

When Miller saw the armor coming to arrest him, he flew up from the wall like a great eagle with a dagger, and the armor fired bows and arrows together, but none of them could hit him.

Seeing that Miller was so brave, Yipin was also afraid, always wary of Miller's retaliation, but Miller did not come. Until more than ten years later, it was said that someone saw Mo Le selling medicine in Luoyang, and his appearance did not change.

Kunlun Nu Miller was magical enough, but there was an even more magical person, that is, Nie Yinniang.

Nie Yinniang was the daughter of nie feng, a general of the Tang Dynasty. Nie Yinniang was born with a different bone. One day, an old nun came to Nie Feng's house to beg, and saw Nie Yinniang, who was very happy.

Old Ni said to Nie Feng, let me take this girl back to raise her. Hearing an unknown old ni making such a request, Nie Feng was furious and threw the old ni out of the door.

Old Ni said, I will be sure of this girl, no matter how you hide, I will steal her. In the middle of the night, sure enough, Nie Yinniang was gone. Nie Feng's whole family was very sad, but there was nothing they could do.

After five years like this, suddenly one day, Nie Yinniang went home. Her parents, while happy, asked her where she had been all these years and what she had done.

Nie Yinniang said that she had been abducted by the old nun, but she didn't do anything, just chanted the sutra. Of course, Nie Feng didn't believe it. During the persecution, Nie Yinniang told the truth.

It turned out that Nie Yinniang was taken by Lao Ni to an uninhabited cliff, where there were only a lot of apes and two very beautiful girls. These two girls don't eat anything, but it's very easy to fly off the cliff.

Old Ni gave Nie Yinniang a pill and gave her a two-foot-long sword. The sword was unusually sharp and broke when it was blown.

Old Ni ordered her to climb the cliff with the two girls, at first it was not possible, gradually as light as the wind, a year later, the thorny apes were a hundred thorns, and later the thorny tiger and leopard could also cut off their heads.

In the third year, it can fly, an eagle that can stab the sky. So the blade was shortened to five inches, so that when the sword was out, those birds and beasts did not know how to shoot.

In the fourth year, once, Lao Ni took her to the downtown area, pointed to a person, counted his many crimes, and then asked Nie Yinniang to kill him.

Old Ni said that it is as easy to kill as it is to kill a bird. Nie Yinniang was indeed like killing a bird in the daylight, and the ghost unconsciously cut off this person's head.

Back at the residence, he medicated his man's head.

In the fifth year, Old Ni sent Nie Yinniang to kill a high-ranking official who had committed a lot of crimes. It wasn't until very late that Nie Yinniang returned.

Old Ni was very upset and asked her why she had come back so late. Nie Yinniang said that seeing this senior officer playing with his son, this child was very cute and really couldn't bear to do it, so she didn't do it until dawn.

Old Ni said that in the future, when he encountered such a thing, he would first kill his beloved, and then kill him.

Old Ni opened the back of Nie Yinniang's head again, hid the dagger inside, and could be used at any time, and then sent Nie Yinniang home, saying, After twenty years, we can see each other again.

Listening to this statement, Nie Feng was too frightened to say more. After that, Nie Yinniang often went out in the middle of the night and returned only at dawn.

Nie Feng didn't dare to ask her whereabouts.

One day, a young man with a polished mirror came to the house to work, and Nie Yinniang said, This is my husband. Nie Feng didn't dare to ask why, so he let them get married.

This mirror-grinding teenager really only grinds mirrors. Nie Feng let them live outside the house and let them enjoy a good life. Until Nie Feng died. Nie Feng's superior, Wei Bojiedu, knew that Nie Yinniang had a strange skill, so he asked him to be his bodyguard.

Once, Wei Jiedushi sent Nie Yinniang to assassinate another Jiedushi envoy, Liu Changyi. Liu this person will be actuarial, knowing that someone has come to assassinate him, he said to the people guarding the city gate that tomorrow morning a man and a woman will come riding a black and a white donkey, and at this time there will be black magpies making noise.

The man will not hit it with a slingshot, and the woman will grab the bow and shoot it at once. If you meet such people, treat them well and say that I want to meet.

The next day something like this happened. The gatekeeper told Nie Yinniang and his wife the original commission.

Nie Yinniang was shocked and said, Liu Jiedushi is really a god, and I want to meet him.

Liu Jiedu made a banquet to treat them. During the banquet, Nie Yinniang said, I'm sorry Liu Shuai. Envoy Liu Jiedu said, Don't say such a thing, but kiss your master. Hearing such words, Nie Yinniang was even more uneasy, saying that being willing to stay by your side is to admire your divine calculations and open-mindedness.

Liu was of course very happy and said, do you need any reward? Nie Yinniang said that she only needed two hundred yuan a month. After Nie Yinniang finished speaking, she disappeared.

Liu Jiedushi looked around, only to find two pieces of donkey-shaped paper in black and white in the cloth bag next to him.

After a month, Nie Yinniang said to Liu Jiedu that if she saw that I was not returning, Wei Jiedu would definitely send someone to come. The night after that he will send the sperm to come. Don't be afraid.

In the night after, I saw two veils, one red and one white, floating around in front of The bed in Liu Jiedu, and for a while, I saw a person fall from the air, with a different head.

Nie Yinniang appeared and said, "The sperm has been killed by me." After saying that, he dragged the body of the sperm outside and medicated it.

Nie Yinniang said that the night after tomorrow was coming empty-handed. The magic of the magic hand is extremely high, the magic is haunted, my skills are not as good as his, how to escape this disaster, it depends on your creation.

You can wrap your neck in jade and hug you around with a quilt, and I will hide in your intestines as a worm, obeying the call, and there is no other place to hide.

Liu acted according to the plan. By the middle of the night, I hadn't fallen asleep yet. Liu's neck was suddenly slashed violently, and the sound was very loud. Nie Yinniang jumped out of Liu's mouth and said, Congratulations, the great disaster has gone.

This man has a very high self-esteem, is very ashamed of not hitting a blow, will not come again, and is now thousands of miles away.

Liu looked at the jade bib neck again, and sure enough, there were dagger scratches, a few points deeper. Later, Liu went to the capital to become an official and asked Nie Yinniang to go with him. Nie Yinniang was unwilling and said, "You will give my husband a false job, let him have food to eat, and I will travel the mountains and rivers in search of people who have attained enlightenment."

Nie Yinniang disappeared without a trace, and until Liu died in the capital, Nie Yinniang still rode a white donkey to the coffin to mourn. Then it drifted away.

Chivalrous thought was already quite popular in the Tang Dynasty, and chivalrous objects were also highly respected by the people, and the literati praised it as a heroic act.

Li Bai once wrote "Chivalrous Travel", which is a kind of "three cups of Turannuo, five Yue poured light." After the eyes are familiar. The chivalrous behavior of "The Spirit of The Spirit of The Immortals" was greatly praised, believing that this was "the incense of the bones of the heroes who are not ashamed of the world".

Li Bai is a wine man and has this arrogance. Du Fu was a scholar and admired those chivalrous guests. Du Fu highly praised the chivalrous behavior in "Sending Sorrows", so-called: "White blades are unjust, and gold is poured out." In the red dust of killing, the retribution is in Sishu. "

In the Tang legend, the praise of chivalrous behavior is an important theme.

In addition to the above two works, there are also famous works such as "The Biography of The Bearded Guest", "The Red Line", and "The Biography of Xie Xiao'e".

It is precisely because the people are so admired and the literati are so exaggerated, the behavior of chivalrous guests has been deified, they can all fly in the sky, fly over the wall, and can shrink into bones and hide in the invisible. They all became gods.

The transformation of chivalry from man to god is not a good thing for chivalry. Because once detached from the ideas of human society, the behavior of chivalrous guests is only a "skill".

Since it is a "skill", it can only be used by people. Kunlun Nu Miller is thought by the master, used by the master, even if it is betrayed by the master.

Nie Yinniang was first a killer, then a bodyguard, and it was also just an instrument in the hands of others. Jing Ke's idea of repaying favor also has the meaning of birds choosing good trees and perching, and has a certain initiative.

When it came to Miller and Nie Yinniang, they only had to obey the call. That can only be said to be servile. The emergence of servility has laid an important hidden danger for the image of chivalry, that is, the disappearance of the social identity of chivalry.

This hidden danger became a reality in "Water Margin".
