Luo Yin failed to pass the Jinshi exam for seven consecutive years, so in the eighth year, he wrote a book by himself, called the Book of Slander, but in this book, there are a lot of satirical reality, sarcastic and satirical content of contemporary officials and magnates, therefore, when Luo Yin wrote this book of slander, the ruling class was very disgusted with him, and even, Luo Yin himself once said, 'Although the book of slander is better than a Hugh,' that is to say, he wrote a book of slander, although it has been affirmed by many people, but his hope of gaining fame is almost gone.

After that, Luo Yin was still a little unwilling, so he took the Jinshi exam for a few years one after another, and took the exam more than ten times in total, needless to say, the final outcome must have failed, Luo Yin, who returned home, was even more depressed, and he admitted that the number of exams was twelve or three times, and the history books called 'ten on the first' were laughed at by many people.

In the last years of the Tang Dynasty, Luo Yin, like many people, also wanted to use the imperial examination to step into the official career and show his ambitions. But although Luo Yin has a great reputation, he failed to pass the exam six times, so he changed his name to Luo Yin. Luo Yin's talent was indeed outstanding, and even the prime ministers at the time, Zheng Zheng and Li Wei, admired him, but because the irony in his test papers was too strong, and he was very arrogant, which made him very isolated in the ancient society that emphasized modesty, and the examiners were disgusted with him. Once, when he applied for the exam, he was experiencing a great drought, and the emperor begged for rain, so Luo Yin wrote a letter to admonish, saying that floods and droughts coexist with heaven and earth, and cannot be eliminated immediately, and he advised the emperor to pray with his heart, so that the people's crops will be grateful to His Majesty no matter how heavy the disaster is. In the end, he said that the emperor and the ministers could not contribute to His Majesty, not to mention that there were a few unknown people who did it, and he thought that this law was not advisable. Luo Yin's words were too straightforward and somewhat ironic, and in the end, the emperor didn't listen to him

For a person like Luo Yin, it is really too unsuitable to be an official, even if it is an upright person like Li An, he often sees the wind and steers, and when he sees a high status, he has to say more good things, and Luo Yin is actually very arrogant, and he will not bow to anyone at all, and in this way, he will naturally offend many people.

Li An remembered that Luo Yin was known as a Jiangdong genius in history, and he was a very powerful person, and there were many stories about him, such as Luo Yin blocking the river, eating pork, road tea shop, sour death, Luo Yin's reincarnation, and so on.

In addition, there are many interesting stories, which are also very interesting, such as flour falling from the sky and falling snow, Luo Yin's drama and so on.

For example, Luo Yin's blocking of the river is very interesting, and there is a south-flowing river in Yulin in later generations, and there is a north-flowing river in the north, which is said to be the same big river in the past. Why did it divide into two rivers later? When it comes to the two rivers that flow from north to south, it has a lot to do with Luo Yin.

Luo Yin came to Guangxi from Guangdong and saw a surging river, like a fierce dragon, flowing from the top of Darong Mountain to the South China Sea. The riverbed is very high, and when it rains heavily, the river rises, often flooding the countryside on both sides and washing away the villages; When there is a drought, the water in the river is low, and it is difficult to draw water up to irrigate the crops. Therefore, the people along the river lived in hardship and had always hated the river. Luo Yin understood the suffering of the people, and was determined to block the river, change its flow, and let the people on both sides of the river live a good life. Luo Yin asked the mountain god for a stone mountain, picked it up and hurried overnight, walked and rested, rested and walked. After walking 7,749 miles, and after 8864 bends, he finally came to the place where the great river was about to enter the sea. He tentatively blocked the stone mountain into the river, feeling that the river was so fierce that it was difficult to change the direction of the flow. So he lifted the mountain and walked back, trying to pick a suitable place and block it again. Walking and walking, he suddenly heard the sound of "oh oh oh" rooster crow, Luo Yin hurriedly stuffed the stone mountain to the river bay, the river was blocked, and the overflowing one continued to flow south, and the other turned to the north. Since then, the river has been divided into two rivers, one flowing south and one flowing north. The flooding has decreased, and the lives of the people along the coast have improved day by day.

Besides, when Luo Yin heard the rooster crow, he knew that Shishan could no longer be picked up, and he felt that it was not appropriate to block the river bay, and he was very unhappy. Looking at the night sky, he pinched his fingers and calculated. The time has not yet arrived, why does the chicken crow? Luo Yin felt strange, so he asked the uncle of the community in the nearby village and asked, "Whose chicken was crowing just now?" The uncle of the society replied: "No one's chicken is crowing!" What's that weird sound?" Luo Yin asked. The uncle of the society laughed "poof" and said, "I learned to crow." Luo Yin was very angry, tasted two slaps on him, and shouted: "You are usually a powerful and blessed, and you want the people to offer sacrifices in vain, but you don't accumulate some merit for the village, but after you are drunk and full, you scream in a weird way, almost bad for me." Listen! From now on, there is no place for you to eat and stay in the village, and you can live at the end of the village and the road. Later, the social uncle finally repented, and he patrolled the village day and night to drive away evil spirits and uphold righteousness for the people, and bless peace. The villagers read his accumulated virtues, so they built a community altar at the edge of the village, and offered three animals and wine liquor during the New Year's Festival, but they never built a temple for the community altar Bogong.

The story of eating pork is also quite interesting, it is said that one evening, a group of villagers were eating and drinking, and suddenly saw Luo Yin coming, and some people were afraid of causing trouble, so they scattered and ran away. Luo Yin felt strange, and stepped forward to ask an uncle who hadn't left yet, "What were you talking about just now?" Uncle said: "The harvest has been poor year after year, and everyone has not eaten meat for a long time. We were just talking about a meal of pork that would be enough. Luo Yin smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this, you told you to wait tomorrow." After the uncle left, Luo Yin walked to the corner of the road to: it happened that the county lord was beaten back to his home, and when he passed by the bend and saw that someone dared to and block the way, he couldn't help but be furious, and immediately ordered the official to catch the heavy responsibility of the forty boards. Luo Yin argued: "I'm your, eat it and leave!" The official was so angry that he jumped like thunder, and he beat Luo Yin with a stick. Luo Yin squatted to the side, and the official pounced into the air, stumbling, and fell into a "hungry dog grabbing".

Luo Yin saw that the servant was chewing on a mouth full of, and said with a smile: "It's really useless, I can't eat my Luo Yin's." As soon as the county magistrate heard that it was Luo Yin, he hurriedly got off the sedan chair and stepped forward to make amends, nodded and said: "Luo Yin, we didn't know Mount Tai just now, please don't be surprised, I hope you will bear with me!" Luo Yin straightened his face and said: "You are limited to sending five big fat pigs to the village tomorrow, otherwise it will ......" Before Luo Yin finished speaking, the county master rushed to say: "Ouch, I beg you not to say it, just a trivial matter, you must do it." After the county magistrate went back, he was afraid that Luo Yin would speak ill of him, so early the next morning, he sent someone to send five big fat pigs. In this way, the men, women and children of the village all had a delicious meal of pork.

The rest of the small stories are also quite interesting, all of them are very interesting stories, but they are just stories, at first glance they are not real things, they are false, they are artificially compiled, and the picture is to amuse people and make people who see and hear happy in their hearts.

After reading the two poems, the sunset had sunset, the sky had become darker, and it was time to go back, but Ang Lee didn't want to go back yet, and wanted to stay for a while.

In order to prevent danger, Guo Ziyi saw that it was dark, so he asked a guard to mobilize the three hundred cavalry who had just been trained outside the city, and asked them to come to protect them immediately.

Just before the sun sets, the old city of Shiben looks a little majestic under the light of the setting sun, and after the sun disappears completely, the environment here seems a little solemn, if you stay here alone, you will definitely feel a little scared, even if a group of people stay here, you can also feel the solemn atmosphere here very obviously, and people's spirits can't help but tense up.

"Quack ......"

When night fell, a flock of crows flew over, and there were a small number of large trees, some of which were so old that most of them had died, and only a few branches could still spit out a trace of young shoots, and the dead branches could be blown off by strong winds, and even a few crows could not support their weight.

"Click...... quack quack ......"

A dead wood branch broke because it could not bear the weight of several crows, and as the dead wood broke, several crows squatting on it flew up in shock, and after circling around the tree three times, they landed again on another branch not far away.

These crows are very bold, even if the three hundred elite cavalry under Guo Ziyi's command are rushing at a gallop, they do not panic at all, they still stay quietly on the branches, only a few timid crows fly to the trees farther away.

The courage of crows will certainly not be innate, but ordinary people are more taboo about crows, no one will go to fight crows to eat, and they are not even willing to go to places where there are more crows, thinking that this is very unlucky, so that crows will feel that humans are not a threat at all, no one will hurt crows, so, why do they fly away when they see people coming? Why don't you stay and watch the excitement and see what these horseback riders are doing.

After the arrival of the three hundred cavalry, the atmosphere of the ancient city of Shiben became less solemn, because there were a large number of voices and neighing horses, full of lively atmosphere, which could naturally weaken the atmosphere of slaughter here, and the dilapidated ancient city, the reason why there was a solemn atmosphere, the fundamental reason was because there was no popularity here, because there was no human activity, and there were broken walls and ruins everywhere, which caused the atmosphere of slaughter here, and once a large number of humans entered this area, it would gradually be full of popularity. The atmosphere of slaughter will gradually decrease, and if someone runs here for a long time, it will become a popular metropolis again.

Soon after the sun set, the sky darkened completely, and the moon and stars began to appear in the sky, making the night sky not so monotonous, especially the bright moon, so that the night was not too dark, and it seemed to have a special mood.

"Li Shilang, it's already dark, why don't you go back early! The dinner is probably ready. ”

Guo Ziyi opened his mouth to persuade.

"Dinner, forget it! I won't go, help me push. ”

Li An doesn't want to see too many officials, in Xiazhou City, the fewer people he sees, the better, so that it is easy to hide himself, if everyone knows what he looks like, it will not be easy to do, he will be recognized when he goes out, then how to make a private visit, how to go to the teahouse to listen to people chatting, how to secretly investigate the eyes of horse thieves, so, it is better to rarely see local officials, as if he did not come, and as long as Li An does not see these officials, these guys are not in a rut, and no one can force Li An to meet.

"Alright! Li Shilang doesn't want to go, then don't go, anyway, these entertainments are not interesting, if you don't go, don't go! ”

Guo Ziyi said.

Li An nodded, looked at the night, and said, "It's okay to go back at the moment, why don't you stay a little longer!" Shall I tell you a few little stories? ”

"Good! The story published by Li Shilang in the Tang Daily is the most interesting, and the soldiers like to read it, so tell us about it! ”

Guo Ziyi said excitedly.

Li An shook his head and said: "Those are long stories, and I can't finish one for three days and three nights, so I'll tell you a few short stories!" It's just in time. ”

"Okay, then it's a little story, soldiers, come and listen to the story!"

Guo Ziyi opened his mouth and shouted.

Among the large group of soldiers, half of the men and horses have come, and half are on guard in place.

Li An looked at the audience with more than 100 meters, and immediately had the spirit, looked at the crowd, and said: "Everyone, the first story I want to put is about flour and falling snow, both of which are white, the story is like this, a long, long time ago, taught that one winter, a scholar named Luo Yin went to the capital to participate in the imperial examination, he repeatedly entered Beijing to take the examination and failed, this time it is naturally not bad, it is also lost, and after the list, Luo Yin's mood is of course very bad, the worst situation, It's that the coils he was carrying were about to run out, so he had to sell words in the Chang'an Street Market to make a living.

One day, he didn't even have the money to buy ink sticks, so he wandered around. At noon, my stomach was really hungry, so I walked into the store to beg for food, but when I entered several stores, the shopkeeper seemed to owe him more and pay him less in his previous life, and said: "The court is full of money every day, and I can eat without a meal, and the young lazy man goes out!" After Luo Yin walked out of the fourth snack bar, he raised his head and shouted to the sky: "Oh my God, what did I do in my previous life, God, you can put some flour for me to eat." As soon as the words fell, but the north wind was howling, and the gray sky suddenly floated down the white flour, which was fine and white, and for a while, the people on Chang'an Avenue took the dustpan and broom, and walked out of the house to snatch the flour given by God. The bosses were all holding guard sticks and commanding their respective servants, "Hurry up! Hurry up!" Within a dozen minutes, the flour grabbers began to fight, and suddenly there was a chaotic situation of fighting on the street.

At this moment, a group of officers and soldiers on white horses came, brandishing whips in their hands, and jerked at the chaotic crowd. The leader of them shouted to everyone: "Listen, all the people, the flour that falls from the sky is the imperial grain, and you must give it all to us." Otherwise, shoot and kill. Seeing this, Luo Yin regretted that he had opened Chrysostom, which was about to cause a catastrophe. So, he shouted to the sky: "God, I'd rather be hungry and the flour will soon fall." It's really amazing, Luo Yin's words, the flour that fell from the sky immediately turned into melting snow. It turned out that God had taken Luo Yin's "good fall", and heard it as "It's snowing." ”
