Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Strange Passage of the Canyon
Liu Shuangli stood still and looked back with a look of surprise, and just as he had heard, a carriage had appeared on the road behind him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It was a pure black steed, pulling a carriage with a dark purple tassel on a black-brown canopy, which was very solemn and conspicuous under the white sun.
The mountain road in disrepair is very narrow, not as narrow as four horses walking side by side. The wheels on the right side of the carriage were dangerously pressed on the edge of the gorge, and if they missed the slightest deviation or the center of gravity was slightly unstable, they would immediately fall down the valley with the cart and the horse.
In such a dangerous way, the driver did not slow down at all, and rushed to come, which was really bold and reckless.
And the carriage ran from the mountain pass to here, and there was nothing to do all the way, and the driver's driving skills were really superb, which made people have to admire.
But now is not the time to admire.
The mountain road is really too narrow, so narrow that Liu Shuangli, who is standing in the middle of the road, has no way to go.
Seeing the carriage rushing towards me, it was in front of me in an instant. Liu Shuang jumped up in the air in a hurry, and climbed up along the cliff slope on the right. The slope is extremely shaky, the cliffs are smooth, and it is impossible to stand on it at all. On the long slope, there are only a few pine trees growing on the side, and there are no weeds. The pine tree is still small, and the stone is only half an adult's length, and it is impossible to climb between the intervals.
Liu Shuangli jumped up with little force, and as soon as she reached out in mid-air, she grabbed the nearest pine tree. Then with the help of a turnover, the toes skillfully landed on the branch of another pine tree, and swayed away.
As soon as she had settled down in this series of movements, the wide black-brown covered carriage had just arrived where she was standing. Looking back, I don't know whether the curtain on the car was blown by the wind or lifted by someone, and I saw a dark, but elegant and handsome face appeared in front of the window.
On that dark and handsome face, with a shallow smile, he raised his eyes lightly to look at Liu Shuangli standing on the pine branch, with appreciation from afar. Seeing that Liu Shuangli also looked back, the two looked at each other, his sword eyebrows were slightly raised, his forehead was slightly pointed, and the smile in his eyes was even deeper.
Liu Shuangli was tightly knit between his eyebrows.
It wasn't that she was unsteady on her feet, but she recognized it at once, and she had seen this person. It was the day I first entered Xi'an, and I happened to see the master of the two masters and servants with a good temperament from a distance in front of the Governor's Mansion.
What a coincidence, but I don't know if the servant who I saw together that day, the servant who was like a crown of jade and did not look like a servant, was also sitting in this car together. It's a pity that the curtain of the car is only lifted at a small corner, and the speed of the car is too fast, Liu Shuangli can't tell whether there is another person in the car.
The carriage was fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was gone. Liu Shuangli jumped down the pine branch and sighed softly.
It's curious, but it's also irrelevant.
Looking at the sun and near noon, Liu Shuangli walked to the mountain road. After the strange carriage passed, as the day before, no passers-by passed.
The mountain road is very quiet, except for the mountain birds and beasts that pop up from time to time to make trouble, there is nothing else.
All the way forward, before you know it, it is late in the evening. At this time, in the valley, many birds and animals have returned to their nests, and it is difficult to see them again, and the mountain road is more quiet and far-reaching.
and the eyes, but see the sunset on the horizon is half hidden by the cliff, like a half-shy girl, in the blink of an eye, that is, gorgeous, and clear.
After going forward for a while, I saw that on the slope of the hanging wall not far ahead, there was a concave stone wall, which was neither deep nor shallow, which should be able to accommodate her small body, which could be used as a place for her to rest at night.
Reaching out to touch it, but feeling that the stone wall was cool, Liu Shuangli thought about finding some weeds to spread on it.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of horses' hooves from far and near, and heard it in this quiet canyon, as if thousands of huge drums were playing at the same time, and thousands of horses were rushing forward.
Liu Shuangxuan was surprised, what kind of situation is this? Without thinking about it, he listened to the sound behind him that was close to his ears, and he hurriedly performed a light leap, and his body was instantly hidden behind the hanging boulder.
Covering his body, Liu Shuangxuan looked curiously and looked out, and saw that on the narrow mountain road, there were several tall horses, galloping towards them with a half-hidden glow. The sound of the horse was like thunder, fast and fast, only half a mile of effort, and when Liu Shuangli was not in a hurry to see what color of clothes the rider was wearing, several big horses were like arrows from the string, and drove over. Except for the swift wind that blew in front of him, there was no trace left.
What's going on, Liu Shuangli shook his head and sighed lightly, although he was strange in his heart, he didn't know that it was none of his business, so it was better to think less.
Jumping out of the boulder that covered him, according to the original plan, he found weeds, carefully smoothed the concave wall, and then simply ate something, and then lay down to rest.
After a night of silence, when he woke up the next day, Liu Shuangli didn't do what he wanted, and then hurried away.
When I arrived, I had heard from the locals that if you didn't stop, adults could walk for two days to get out of this canyon. She walked slowly along the way, stopping from time to time to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the valley, so it was only on the third day. But even so, if you calculate the distance, you should be able to get out of the valley today.
I heard that after walking out of this canyon and walking for half a day, you can enter the territory of Henan Province. It was three days faster than the detour canyon.
But what's ahead?
Liu Shuangli looked at the front more than 100 zhang away with a stunned expression.
If you're not mistaken, it's the exit of the canyon trail. Because the pole eye looks ahead, you can clearly see the entire blue sky, and half of it is no longer obscured by the towering rocks.
But at this time, in that already open place, there were seven or eight people lying horizontally. Seven or eight big men dressed in uniform dark purple suits. Dark red blood stains were sprinkled all over the small valley exit.
Liu Shuangli's hand slowly rested on the hilt of the sword at his waist, hesitating. Suddenly, a big man lying on the edge of the hanging wall suddenly moved, she hesitated for a moment, still holding the hilt of her sword, and walked forward lightly.
The man on the ground who barely shook his hands, looked like he was about to completely swallow his breath at any time, his eyes were dim, he noticed that someone was approaching, he struggled to turn his head and looked, and a faint voice came from his pale mouth: "Little ...... Little brother ......"
Liu Shuangli half-squatted down, frowned, and said, "This big brother, you, well, you ......"
The big man opened his mouth and moved, wanting to say something, but he didn't catch his breath, and coughed up two mouthfuls of blood in succession.
Liu Shuangli stretched out his hand to soften his dantian, and patted it according to the acupoint, so that the qi in his heart and mouth was smooth. But this is only to make people hang their last breath, and the effect is only to allow him to hold on to the last words before he dies.
The anger in the big man's heart was temporarily smoothed, he barely supported half of his body, reached out and took out something from his clothes, handed it to Liu Shuangli, and said in a trembling voice: "Little brother, please, please ...... Give this token to ...... Give it to Lord Ye.
Liu Shuangli wondered: "Which Lord Ye?"
"Henan patrol according to the imperial history, Ye Zhiqiu, Lord Ye. The big man gasped and continued with all his might, "If you want him, you must ...... Be careful. That white boy is very ...... It's not easy, he ...... He and his retinue, like, as if with Yama Ladian...... There is a ...... with the Yama shop About ......"
Liu Shuangxuan was startled, and was about to ask again, but saw the hand handed out by the big man hanging, and his body twitched twice before he fell. Look at it again, and the man has already closed his eyes and died.
Liu Shuangli sighed, looked at the object handed by the man, and saw that it was a copper token with stains of blood on it.
On closer inspection, the token carving is very good, but it is an old thing that is some years old. In addition to fresh bloodstains, dark cyan rust stains were clearly visible.
The front of the token is simply engraved with the word 'tiger', and the back is outlined with a delicate line outlining a tiger with a wide mouth and sharp teeth.
Liu Shuangli was stunned for a while, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and he sighed softly again in his heart.
Even if she didn't know what it was, she could still think that such an old object would never be an ordinary thing. I don't know what kind of power this copper tiger token represents.
And what she didn't expect was that at this moment, at this point, she would hear the name Yama Luodian again.
I don't know who this white boy in the man's mouth is.
Liu Shuangli was unable to restrain this terrifying scene, and only put away the tiger copper token. Then carefully avoiding the blood stains on the ground, he slowly walked out of this valley with pleasant scenery, but finally breathless.
Out of the valley pass, I took a brief rest and ate something more. Liu Shuangli didn't think about it, and continued to move forward.
Going to Henan Mansion was not in Liu Shuangli's itinerary plan.
Because the purpose of coming to Xi'an is because I have heard that there are many girls from the south in the tooth market around Xi'an City recently, but Henan Province has not heard of this.
Unable to find Lian'er, Liu Shuangli himself has no clear place to go. At this time, the one who had ascended to the Ninety-Five Venerable had a request to enter Beijing.
Liu Shuangli wanted to follow Qin Siyang's wishes, and after looking for people in Xi'an City to no avail, he went north directly to Beijing.
However, after leaving Xi'an City, she did not ask for directions clearly, but just followed the most preliminary official road all the way to the east, and then followed her heart into the scenic canyon plank road, and then, naturally, turned a corner and entered the boundary of Henan.
At this time, it was too late to see the sky, but the city gate of Henan Mansion was within sight. Liu Shuangli quickened the pace of his feet, wanted to take advantage of the sun's brightness, and hurried into the city.
Suddenly, I heard a broken cry from behind: "The person in front, you stop for me." ”
The voice is sharp, and it is difficult to distinguish between men and women for a while.
Liu Shuangli instinctively stopped his steps and looked left and right.
There are no weeds or trees on the left and right of this forest road, and there are no pedestrians and carriages ahead, so there is no second person to be found here except her.
Behind that......
Liu Shuangli turned around helplessly.
It was an official road that anyone could have walked on, and even if she heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching behind her, she no longer looked back curiously when she was in the canyon. However, now, the voice that is difficult to distinguish between men and women has made her have to turn back.
Behind him, there were six tall horses, and the two leading horses were riding two young men in gorgeous costumes and jade crowns. Looking at the expressions, the indistinguishable shouts of men and women obviously came from one of the two young men in fancy costumes.
Liu Shuangli looked left and right with a puzzled face, obviously not sure that people were calling her.
Jianli's voice sounded again: "Hey, what do you see, I'm calling you, you're deaf, don't you hear?"
There is no doubt this time, it was her Liu Shuangli who was stopped so rudely. (To be continued.) )
