Chapter 232: Nine Plains North (16)
The group followed the water upstream, and followed the meandering river upstream, and when they reached the depths of the grassland, they found a continuous mountain range, and the river flowed from this continuous mountain range.
"This time it's time for the real thing. Wu Yan looked at the mountains, and a long-lost nostalgia rose in his heart again. She was brought here by two shamans, and the surprise she felt when she first saw this good place was still fresh in her memory, as if it was not so long ago, but in fact more than 400 years have passed.
The old man at the beginning was only herself.
No, and Wu Jiang, he's been waiting here all along.
Wu Yan squatted down by the riverbank, stretched out his hand and scooped a handful of cold and clear river water, raised his hand and threw it out, facing the mountain range, and shouted Wu Jiang.
"After I left him here, he never returned to his clan. I've spent my whole life guarding this place. Wu Yan explained to the rest of his companions.
In fact, after the end of the war, more than four years have passed since Wujiang stayed behind in this treasure land, and then Wu Yan remembered that Wu Jiang was still guarding this treasure land in this mountain range. She immediately sent her henchman Wu Feng, one of the few people who knew the inside of the secret place, who had survived the war, to call Wu Jiang back.
Who knew that not long after Wu Yan left, this Wujiang actually fell in love with a Mongolian girl here and got married. Wu Jiang liked that girl very much, four years later Wu Feng came here to find him, the two colleagues and partners have not seen each other for a long time, naturally it is inevitable to reminisce, when he learned that Wu Lin was killed in the war, Wu Jiang was shocked and heartache, raised the mare's milk wine and drank more than once, and was drunk all night. When the two of them were drinking and catching up on the old days, the Mongolian girl who had been waiting beside her was extremely virtuous.
Early the next morning, Wu Jiang asked Wu Feng to intercede with his master on his behalf, if he could let him stay here all the time and protect this treasure land for his master. Although it is not allowed to settle down in a different place without the permission of the clan, but for the sake of years of friendship and understanding of the master, I believe that the master should not break up the two of them. So Wu Feng agreed, and after returning to Xiaodongtian, he told Wu Yan the matter as it was.
"Is that girl as good as him?" Wu Yan asked calmly after listening to Wu Feng's narration.
"Perfect match. You can see that she is a very good girl. Wu Feng knelt on the ground and pleaded for Wu Jiang.
"That's good. Wu Yan couldn't help but think of herself and Xu Guan, losing someone she liked was really a very painful thing, so she had already made a decision in her heart.
"Master, how am I going to call him back?" Wu Feng waited.
"Passing on this secret order, Wujiang will permanently garrison the secret place in the depths of the grassland for me. Wu Yan waved his hand.
"The subordinates thanked the master on behalf of Wujiang. If he hears this secret order, he will be grateful and inscribed. Wu Feng completed Wu Jiang's entrustment.
The subordinates of that era did not have the right to make decisions about their own lives, and everything they had was given by their masters. Wu Jiang wanted the girl he loved, wanted to be permanently stationed in the secret place for his master, and decided whether to do or not to do such a thing, he didn't have it, but he asked Wu Feng to ask his master for such a right. Therefore, in the final analysis, everything about him is still given by Wu Yan.
Therefore, in any case, it didn't matter whether he wanted to garrison this secret land or not, but it was important that Wu Yan ordered him to garrison it for himself.
More than a hundred years later, Wu Yan, who was meditating in Xiaodongtian, received a report from his subordinates and opened the letter that was presented, which turned out to be sent by Wujiang Tuo, who said in the letter that his limit had reached and his life was short. I can follow the master in this life, and I have no regrets. More than 100 years ago, after entering the grassland, he stayed in the local area and never left. Nominally, he was stationed in the secret land of the grassland by the secret order of the master, but in fact, it was the master's compassionate heart that fulfilled his wish. He knew that he had received a great favor from his master that he could not repay, and that he had also owe a great deal to his fellow citizens. But now that the person is about to pass away, he is concerned about the water and soil in the clan, so he wrote this letter with a cheeky face, hoping that the master will allow him to return to the clan for burial after his death.
"Master, I heard that Wu Jiang has sent a letter. Wu Feng didn't know where he heard the news, so he walked in and saluted Wu Yan. Because he stayed in the clan for many years to cultivate, he didn't age as fast as Wujiang, and his cultivation also made some progress.
Wu Jiang said that his limit was approaching and he wanted to come back. Wu Yan handed the letter in his hand to Wu Feng and asked him to take a look. At this time, Wu Feng was already an old man, among the living people, except for Wu Jiang, he followed Wu Yan the longest and experienced the most wars with him, so Wu Yan didn't have too much coercion on him, and the two got along a lot more casually.
Wu Feng took Wu Jiang's letter, his face was heavy, he didn't expect that his partner, who was far away in the northern border, had neglected his cultivation for so many years, and his cultivation had not made an inch, and he had reached the limit so quickly: "Master, what do you mean?"
"Let him come back, of course. Wu Yan said as he should, and then hurriedly changed his words: "No, where can he come back himself?" ”
"I'll pick it up myself. Wu Feng said hurriedly. According to his current status under Wu Yan, this kind of thing does not need him to do it himself. The reason why he took the initiative to apply was because of his friendship with Wujiang for many years.
"Okay, there you go. Wu Yan agreed without hesitation, and did not forget to tell him: "Be careful not to leak the news, the secret place in the north, it is better not to let others know." ”
"The subordinates understand. Wu Feng knelt on the ground and bowed, and left.
Providence always seems to like to make people, and when Wu Feng came to this secret place on the grassland, he found a new tomb on a high mountain somewhere between the mountains.
He heard from Wujiang's great-grandson what had happened after the letter had been sent.
It will take at least half a month for the letter to be sent to Xiaodongtian according to the foot strength of ordinary people. But on the fifth day after the letter was sent, Wujiang couldn't hold on. That night, there was a large circle of children and grandchildren around, and everyone stood in front of Wujiang's bed, and heard the last words he said before he took his last breath: Providence is like this, I still can't wait for a reply after all. Master, Wu Jiang will survive as your servant.
After speaking, Wu Jiang was devastated by anger. Children and grandchildren cry together, and after crying, they still have to prepare for the future.
Generally speaking, people are buried when they die, but because Wu Jiang wrote a letter a few days before his death, and said that if the master agreed to him to go back to the clan for burial, he would go back to the clan for burial. If the owner does not agree, he will be buried there.
However, after the letter was sent, he did not hear back until his death. After everyone summed up, they decided to wait for another three days, if no one came to pick up Wujiang's grandfather back, they would bury him according to the funeral rites of the Central Plains.
