Chapter 4 The Tomb of Chai Xing
Next to the sentry, a young man in a Taoist robe sat cross-legged on the back of a maroon horse, with his right hand on his cheek, and his head hung down to read the book in his hand. Xu Heng came on horseback, the sound of horses' hooves woke up the young man, and when he looked up, he saw the man in Tsing Yi with a surprised smile on his face: "Big brother, you are finally here!"
"Huangchuan?!" Xu Heng was also very happy to see this little brother who had been born and died at first glance, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled when he was happy: It seems that the little Taoist priest is waiting for him here, but how did he know that I would come here?
"Are you waiting for me?"
The little Taoist priest carefully wrapped the ancient book in a bag and stuffed it into his arms, raised his head and said, "Yes, I am here to greet Heng Gongzi by the order of the teacher." ”
"Zhang Tianshi?" Xu Heng touched his chin, but felt that this answer was reasonable, he glanced at the imperial mausoleum building looming behind the sentry, "Since you are here to greet me, and you are still riding a horse, you must not have to enter the imperial mausoleum." ”
"Big brother is so smart!" Zhang Huangchuan gave Xu Heng a thumbs up, "Master asked me to take my eldest brother to a place first, and then go to see them." ”
Xu Heng nodded: "Well, then let's go quickly, I still have something to do when I come back this time, and the time is relatively tight." ”
Zhang Huangchuan smiled, stretched out his hand and patted the neck of the horse under the seat, and the jujube red horse moved its four hooves and began to run slowly. Seeing the little Taoist sitting cross-legged on the galloping horse, still as smooth as the ground without saddle, Xu Heng waved his horsewhip and followed closely, and at this time, he confirmed the promotion of the little Taoist.
Whether it's the mind or the cultivation.
He patted his horse to catch up with the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, stood side by side with him, raised the burden in his hand and said, "Huangchuan, are you hungry?"
The little Taoist priest touched his lower abdomen, thought about it, and replied honestly: "Hungry......" After a pause, he looked at the burden in Xu Heng's hand, revealing a yearning expression, "I really want to eat the hand-rolled noodles made by my eldest brother again." ”
Xu Heng smiled dumbly: "It's a pity, no, but this is made by one of my elders, and it must be better than what I made." ”
"Hey...... Since I ate the eldest brother's hand-rolled noodles in Leijiabao, it is really the eldest brother, and there is no hand-rolled noodles since then......"
Xu Heng listened to the little Taoist's habitual nagging, and waved his hand, the gray shadow in his hand flashed, and it instantly extended into a long sword. Xu Heng used Chengying as a bridge, erected between two galloping horses, and put down the burden on the spine of the sword less than two inches, the mountain road was not rugged, but it was impossible for the horses to be without bumps as they advanced.
It is difficult to stabilize the delicately wrapped baggage on the narrow spine of the sword, let alone eat. Xu Heng picked on the little Taoist, Zhang Huangchuan leaned over and patted the horse's neck under Xu Heng's crotch, the pace of the two horses was synchronized, and the burden on the spine of the sword suddenly became much more stable.
"It's not okay, why don't we just pick it up and eat it."
"It's okay, I've learned a spell recently, and I'll make something out of nothing, look at it!"
“?”
Zhang Huangchuan saw the man next to him flick his fingers at Chengying, and after a blink of an eye, the long sword became a low table, smoothly resting between the two horses.
"Hey?!!"
There was no mana fluctuation, no spell anthropomorphism, the Chengying Sword became a dwarf table like this, Zhang Huangchuan couldn't believe his eyes, he stretched out his hand and touched the dwarf table in surprise, and he couldn't tell the real from the fake!
Ren Xiaodao was dumbfounded, Xu Heng couldn't help laughing, opened the baggage, and took out the four dishes from the food box in the baggage one by one, the food box made of Chu Yun's wood porcelain has good thermal insulation performance, the shortbread and rice wine are still hot, Xu Heng poured a full cup of rice wine for Zhang Huangchuan, and drank a big sip directly to the bottle, moistening the stomach bag that had been destroyed by a good meal in the past seven days.
When Xu Heng was halfway through drinking and eating, Zhang Huangchuan was still struggling with how Xu Shi cast his "spell".
Hey, it seems that he has matured a lot after retreating, and the idea is a little early. Xu Heng picked up a piece of sauced beef and stuffed it into the little Taoist's mouth: "Eat it quickly, if we are going to the ancestral tomb of the Chai family." ”
Zhang Huangchuan was very surprised by Xu Heng's uncertain prophet: "Big brother, you even guessed the ancestral tomb of the Chai family!"
Xu Heng raised his finger expressionlessly and pointed to the shadow of the tall tree that could already be seen faintly. The tree is a mulberry tree, and the mulberry trees planted in the ancestral grave of the Chai family are lined up, which is very easy to identify. Xu Heng, Chai Xing and others have come to play many times, and they are already familiar with it, and they know that they are coming here halfway through with Zhang Huangchuan.
It's okay to cover up. If it weren't for the time constraints, he would have come over to take a look.
After all, Chai Xing is still alive, and no matter who is lying in that grave, he has to be invited out.
After Zhang Huangchuan's gobbling up, all the lunches prepared by Aunt Ye for Xu Heng were eaten, Xu Heng put away the shadow, and stopped outside the entrance of the ancestral tomb of the Chai family.
Tie the horses well, Xu Heng and Zhang Huangchuan walked in. The Chai family has been an official for generations, the ancestors have been out of Confucianism, the classics have meritorious, and the second emperor of Dayang Emperor Wen has been rewarded, outside the Shenjing City, there are large fields not far from the imperial tomb. Because of the Tianshou Mountains because of the imperial tomb, the eunuchs inside and outside Shenjing City have set up their ancestral tombs here, and the ancestors of the Chai family are still a few on a large scale because of the reason for appreciating the fields.
It's just that the four generations of the Chai family have been passed down alone, and although the ancestral tomb covers a wide area, there are not many tombs in it. Counting generations, I soon found the lonely tomb.
To his surprise, but not so much to his surprise, there were two other people in front of the grave.
The other was sturdy, carrying a long black shovel with a swallow's jaw and beard, and it could be seen that he was middle-aged.
Dozens of paces apart, the two groups had already spotted each other. The two people in front of the grave were not surprised by the appearance of Xu and Zhang, and they should have been waiting here, while Xu Heng turned his head to look at Zhang Huangchuan, and the little Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain was surprised for a moment when he saw the two of them.
Zhang Huangchuan approached Xu Heng: "Big brother, the master just sent a message to me to take you to the ancestral tomb of the Chai family, and didn't say anything more......
"Well, it's fine. ”
Xu Heng nodded, and Zhang Huangchuan came to the two of them, and just as they were about to salute the two of them with a fist, they heard the sturdy man snort: "You guys are too late, I can't help but do it!"
After speaking, as soon as he turned around, he took a long shovel as a hoe and unceremoniously dug up the grave of Chai Xing.
