002: Heroes emerge from troubled times

Chang An is actually very envious of Fang Jiliu, who can fly above the nine heavens, will be called a person in the rivers and lakes, and a spear, how "chivalrous" it looks, how many women from good families must be favored, there must be three or four catties!

In fact, Chang An is not too envious, his father Chang Fulu said, "There is another year after year, and every year is more than the sky." ”

If you can't be a hero in this life, you have to live as a hero.

Chang An just wants to find medicine for his father, and go home to let his father get better quickly. Pension and inheritance, this is Chang'an's mission in this life.

Chang An could never have imagined that a person's journey to find medicine, a Fang Ji Liu came in halfway, or the so-called people in the rivers and lakes, and the dead face followed him, and deceived him with the so-called word "cultivation".

Chang An didn't ask him why he followed him, anyway, if there was one more person, it wouldn't be so boring along the way.

The fog is thick and the smoke is heavy, the mountains are dark, the clouds are light, the sky is low, and the water is long. This is used to describe Xiyun Mountain.

To the west of Maicheng, over Xiyun Mountain, you will arrive at Huanan City.

And Xiyun Mountain is also known as "Maicheng Natural Insurance", when the imperial court repaired the official road, Nanxi Road could have been directly passed from Xiyun. However, Xiyun Mountain, since ancient times, there is a saying that "even the peaks go to the sky and do not exceed the feet, and the dry pines hang upside down against the cliffs". The route drawn up by the imperial court that year, the three waves of people sent by the imperial court, because of the collapse of the mountain road, many people died. Then the imperial court had to change the route, from the previous straight line, the mountain road that stretched for more than 50 miles added a lot of load to the imperial court.

There is also today's "Thirteen Bends of Wheat City", and the peddlers and pawns generally take this road, and there are some who are bold and in a hurry. There will be rivers and clouds, but there will still be many casualties over the years. As a last resort, the local government set up notices all over Xiyun Mountain to remind passers-by of the danger.

And Chang An and Fang Jiliu chose this route, Fang Jiliu looked at the "Thirteen Bends of Wheat City" and sighed, looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, where is the head. Chang An nodded approvingly on the side: "Unanimous opinion, go over the mountain." ”

Laziness is a good habit!

The eastern mountains of the Eastern Tang Dynasty were undulating and endless. Among them, there is a mountain called Tianqiong Mountain, and there is a temple on the top of the mountain, and the plaque is engraved with two words, called "but".

Because Tianqiong Mountain is the highest mountain in the east of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, it is called "Tianqiong Mountain", and no one knows why the temple inside is called "but".

"Master, the steamed buns have already grown black beans. A small monk in the courtyard held a steamed bun in his hand and looked at the older monk on the steps with tears in his eyes.

The old monk walked down with a smile and rubbed the little monk's head: "Tofu, you said that the steamed bun has black beans and beans are still not steamed buns." ”

The little monk Tofu thought for a while and nodded: "The steamed bun is a steamed bun, but it is not as delicious as the white steamed bun, and it is not easy to swallow." ”

"Master told you that there are a lot of white steamed buns under the mountain, and you see that there are only four of us in this temple. Your two senior brothers have a big appetite, and after a meal, there are few white steamed buns. The rest is the black steamed buns, and you can't snatch your two senior brothers. I can only eat black steamed buns. When the old monk spoke, he always looked like Maitreya and smiled.

"Master, are you going to drive me away?" Tofu is not stupid, he can hear what Master means, and the tears that have just fallen have begun to flood again.

"Master didn't drive you away, Master told you that there are a lot of white steamed buns under the mountain, let you go down the mountain to find more, and then you can send them to Master. The old monk said with a smile.

"Master, you 、、、 you just drive me away. ”

"Master didn't drive you away, when your two senior brothers were as old as you, they also went down the mountain to look for white steamed buns, otherwise where would there be so many steamed buns in our temple. ”

The little monk Tofu tried his best not to cry, not to let the tears fall, and gritted his teeth vigorously. Two small hands, constantly scratching their clothes behind them.

"Well, there are a lot of white steamed buns under the mountain, and if you find a lot, you will come back, okay. ”

At night, the Tianqiong Mountain is extremely cold, the frost falls on the sycamore leaves, and the crackling sound of ice explosion comes and goes.

The old monk looked at the sleeping little monk Tofu and gently stroked his face.

The next day, the little monk Tofu took the only two white steamed buns left in the temple down the mountain, and when he left, he was alone, and the old monk didn't know where to go.

The little monk tofu stomped his feet fiercely, the master and brother were too bad.

In the eighteenth year of Tianfeng, late autumn, frost fell.

The little monk tofu went out of the "but temple" and went down to Tianqiong Mountain.

The little monk didn't know that the day he walked, the road down the mountain from Tianqiong Mountain was much better.

He didn't know that the old monk took his two senior brothers all the way to send them far, far away.

The old monk looked at the back of the little monk Tofu leaving, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, this late autumn day was a little bitter.

In late autumn, especially in the evening, there are almost no people in the mountains. This makes the original dangerous mountain even more mysterious.

Fang Jiliu was also happy to see the beautiful scenery of late autumn, and talked and laughed with Chang An.

"Have you heard of this matter of Maicheng County's Ling Hu Jinjiu? Because you, a flower thief, have investigated and dealt with the Lin family's dismissal. Fang Jiliu thought of the drama of Chang'an that night, and a burst of joy came to his heart.

"I use my right to urinate normally, what's wrong? The toilets in Maicheng are all opened by his Lin family, and I can't make it convenient yet?" Chang An glared at Fang Jiliu angrily, it wasn't because of you kid that I would be misunderstood. The dignified little overlord of Shijing Lane has become a flower thief in Maicheng, if this is spread to his hometown, wouldn't the little ladies of Shijing Lane cry and red-eyed.

insulting my reputation as Chang'an, it is true, giving birth to a son as a eunuch.

"It's cheap and good, and when I look at Lin Huazhi's body, I'm still unhappy. Do you know how many people think about that little lady day and night, you are always safe, don't be in the blessing and don't know the blessing. ”

"Fang Jiliu, you gave birth to a son to be a eunuch!"

"Little Brother An、、、 you have a fever. ”

、、、、、、

Xiyun Mountain stretches for more than ten miles, and if you want to go out overnight, it is difficult for ordinary people to climb to the sky. In the darkness of the night, a team stalked, speeding away, looking at nothing in the mountains. The leader is a big man with a scarface, followed by more than a dozen people.

"The third one, you lead a team to play forward, the second one and my palace outflank, remember, one blow is fatal, don't drag the mud and water. ”

The second and third children who followed closely behind nodded their heads, and the formation split into two and disappeared into the night.

Chang An doesn't understand this good Xiyun Mountain, but the road is easy to walk, and the road of the government can't be built. When the two of them crossed the third mountain, they finally understood.

Even if there is a ladder to climb the clouds, it is difficult to cross Xiyun Mountain, this sentence comes from the Liang poet Jiang Kezhou's "Xiyun Mountain Travels", which has a detailed description of Xiyun Mountain, and there are many local terroir characteristics, it is rumored that the valley of Xiyun Mountain was originally inhabited by a tribe, but in the early years, some people entered the mountain, and the tribe has all moved away from Xiyun Mountain, and there is no whereabouts so far, and no one has ever seen it again.

The first three mountains are one after the other, even if it is a bit difficult to climb up and down, it is easy to walk. There are no too difficult sections. But when you climb over the third hill, you can get on the opposite side of the road.

Mountains and mountains, long and horizontal. Peaks and valleys are followed by ups and downs, and there are bottomless cliffs in between. There is a reason why the government couldn't get over it at the beginning.

"Let's rest here at night. Fang Jiliu glanced not far away, Xiyun Mountain, also known as "Xiyun Mountain" in the early years, and the clouds lived here.

Chang An glanced at Fang Jiliu, carefully took out the wheat brew that he had hidden all the way, and was about to take a sip. Fang Jiliu's eyes were quick, and he snatched it away: "Little Brother An is not kind, he actually did some things to steal chickens and dogs." ”

"Fang Jiliu, let me tell you, if I can beat you, you will now estimate that you will go fishing under Xiyun Mountain. Chang An said as he stood on tiptoe and went to grab the wine in Fang Jiliu's hand. But Fang Jiliu blocked Chang An with one finger, leaving Chang An's hands to grasp weakly in the air.

"Junior Brother An, give you a hundred years, and you are not your opponent of Brother Fang. After Fang Jiliu finished speaking, he raised the pot with one hand and poured the wine, so that he could not be free and easy.

Tonight I fell asleep with the west wind, ate and drank and fell asleep, and the clouds dwelled in the sky.

Fang Jiliu is still humane, and at the end he left a small sip for Chang An, in Fang Jiliu's words, ordinary people drink less alcohol, and getting drunk is not good for your health.

Little Brother An, this is your brother Fang, and I care about you!

Chang An greeted Fang Jiliu's ancestors no less than ten times, giving birth to a son to be a eunuch is a small crime, and having no queen is a big sin.

Helplessly, Chang An can't fight, and he can't win against the scoundrel of Fang Jiliu.

For the first time in his life, Chang An had the urge to practice, but he just wanted to beat this kid Fang Jiliu. It's too shameless and dirty.

In the late autumn season, the frost falls, and the old mountain is even cooler at night. The starry sky is thousands of miles, and the Xiyun Mountain stretches for more than ten miles, but it is also picturesque. Chang An is just an ordinary person, building a simple nest next to the grass at the leeward outlet, wrapped in thin clothes, still a little cold.

Fang Ji Liu, who was lying on the boulder at the tuyere, looked sideways at the sky, and glanced at Chang An from time to time.

This wind can help Chang An block two or three layers, can't I be a big man holding you?

Fang Jiliu thought about it and quickly shook his head, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Fang Jiliu had a habit that was passed down by his master, who didn't know his name. If one foot is stepped into the rivers and lakes, then don't think about retreating. There won't always be a light to guide you along the way, your weapon is your lamp. How you treat it, on the battlefield, when you are in a game of life and death, it will treat you as well, and how powerful it is.

Fang Jiliu's gun is his wife.

I have to hold my wife when I sleep.

Fang Jiliu lay on a large rock, and the north wind whirred in his ears. The endless sky is also a lot quieter. In the current Eastern Tang Dynasty, everyone is proud of practicing swords, and there are many sects on the rivers and lakes that practice swords. In the western Liang country, knives are popular there, and the Liang people advocate force, and the knife is straighter! The knife is fast and kills people quickly!

It was very simple that Fang Jiliu didn't want to practice swords, because the person he wanted to defeat practiced swords. There was another reason, when his master asked him to choose a weapon, when he passed by the spear, Fang Jiliu could hear someone calling his name, attracting him one by one and picking up the spear.

Since then, the flow of the square has been with the spear, the stars and the sun and the moon have been with me, and the spear has walked with me.

One of the teams in Xiyun Mountain, the leader called the third child, was leading the four of them to gallop in the night. Someone had already found out that their target was on the top of a mountain not far away. The third child ordered a few people to come around: "This mission is related to the prestige and future of our Qian clan, if we mess up, everyone will not live." So everyone cheered up and shot ruthlessly, and the above also ordered that if you can't bring it back, you will wipe it on the spot. After speaking, the third child made a movement to wipe his neck.

Just a few days ago, there was an uninvited guest in Maicheng Qian's Villa. The big boss Qian Wenzhong, leading the whole house, knelt on the side to greet him. Even Qian Bingchang, the second boss who doesn't want to go out on weekdays, came out. The third man who came didn't know him, and he had never seen him. After Qian Wenzhong dismissed his subordinates, he immediately knelt to the side again. When the third child saw that person at that time, he could feel that this person's cultivation was definitely not low, but it was strange that he didn't remember what this person looked like later.

The man brought a portrait and said, "It's better to be captured alive, or else you will bring back the body."

The luncheon prepared by the whole house was prepared by the whole family, and the nobles left directly without asking.

Qian's Villa started with darts, and in the early years, it was a dart game that no one cared about in Maicheng. Raising a few people, sometimes even food and clothing have to worry. Qian Wenzhong, the big boss, is an old man and a scheming man, and later because of his relationship with Maicheng Hu and close to wine, he personally sent someone else's bed to his niece. Only today is there Qian's, although Hu Jinjiu is poured, it does not affect the operation of Qian's Villa at all. Over the years, Qian Wenzhong and Qian Bingchang have had countless relationships.

In the past two years, Qian's Villa has been in charge of the private salt business in Nanxi Road, and the family is dominant. Outsiders can't intervene at all, and the big boss said that if this task is completed, then the boss will give them the Qian family to take charge of Maicheng's private salt business, such a big piece of fat, who doesn't want to? However, if it can't be completed, however, Qian Bingchang said that it can't be completed.

This is the situation of the third child at this moment.

The person to be killed is called Chang An, just an ordinary person who has no cultivation. So this time the big guy came out, some people still felt a little strange in their hearts, such a simple task, does it require so many elites to mobilize the laborers? Qian Fu even used the bottom of the box to move out the family money, and he did everything to complete this task, and he must take down all the private salt business in Maicheng in one go.

However, there was a slight change in the middle, and when Mai Cheng was about to assassinate Chang An, a spear boy appeared. Chang An was involved in it because he was watching the excitement from the sidelines. Later, he and this boy with a spear left Maicheng together.

This kid is just a first-class person in the Yellow Order, and it stands to reason that he is not a powerful person, but he can be regarded as a person who can practice and understand martial arts. But the big boss Qian Wenzhong spoke, he was not allowed to startle the snake, take a step by step, find out the situation of these two people first, and make a conclusion.

The third led the four of them to a few feet away from the target, and based on the gestures, everyone launched an attack together, striving to take the target in one go.

Just when the third child wanted to make a gesture, something unexpected happened.

Don’t wait for prosperity to care for the things important to you.
