Chapter 171 The Abyss Carries the Shadow of the Phoenix
Why haven't you looked for it?
The team that Emperor Qianyuan arranged for Empress Luan Jing was almost unmatched, otherwise she would not dare to go to the southwest like this.
But it is precisely because of this that after Hua captured Anyang and replaced the new emperor, the first thing to do was not to solve the foreign enemy invasion on the northeast border, but to divide the troops to the southwest to inspect the traces of Empress Luanjing when the situation in Anyang was stabilized.
However, who would have thought that after the previous earth movement, there would be a small earth movement in the southwest, and Queen Luan Jing and the people around her disappeared.
It is rumored that because of the Queen of Luanjing, Si Chen, she was punished from heaven, so that she did not even have her bones in the world.
Naturally, no one believed this kind of news, at least Emperor Taizu didn't believe it.
However, it was still impossible to find it after three years of searching, and both the people and the royal family of the Jin Kingdom finally admitted this fact.
Even those who originally thought that Fahrenheit was plotting rebellion had to admit that the decline of the previous dynasty may really be the will of God.
"Only the winning side is qualified to determine the direction of history, and who can say what the facts are?"
After listening to Zhao Yi's story, Luan Ge sighed with emotion.
History has always been a little girl dressed up by people, it doesn't matter what she generates, what matters is what she shows in front of people.
For a hundred years, what do ordinary people and even future generations know?
Zhao Yi was noncommittal to her words, after all, the Zhao family has served Hua for generations, and Hua is his mother's lineage, speaking of which, Jin Taizu can be regarded as his great-great-great-grandfather, so he can't say too much about it.
But out of good intentions, he still reminded Luan Ge: "You can only say this in front of me, and you must not mention it when you return to Anyang." Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will cause death. Even Cousin Chen can't protect you. ”
"I understand that. Luan Ge nodded, no longer talking about the past that can now be regarded as taboo, and turned the conversation and said: "Since you are so familiar with the southwest ground movement back then, then you know that the Huzui Mountain of that year, after the ground moved, was divided into two, and the spout and the body of the pot were their own mountains, and they really became a veritable Huzui Mountain." ”
"Not really. Zhao Yi shook his head, there were mostly personnel records in that book, and the changes in the southwest region were not recorded too much, except that they were cracked and landslides were cracked and houses collapsed.
"Not many people survived in the southwest after the earthquake, and most of them have moved away, and only a few remain. Luan Ge told all the news he had heard earlier.
At the beginning, she surveyed around Huzui Mountain every day, and finally found that a farmer living on the nearby mountain was completely different from the mountain people on the top of the mountain, but also did not have much contact with the people in the town below the mountain.
After several inquiries, I learned that they were the descendants of the mountain people who had not moved after the earth movement, because the ancestral graves at home could not be moved, so they had to stay.
Nowadays, most of the people in Xishan gradually settled down after the Miao people entered the Jin Dynasty and took a fancy to the trade here, and they are not familiar with the affairs of Huzui Mountain.
Thanks to this family, Luan Ge knew that the mountain that had been separated from the original could also climb to the top of Huzui Mountain.
Just to reach the top of the mountain, but you still need to cross an abyss.
Therefore, what is in front of her and Zhao Yi now is not a sheep intestine trail that winds around the mountain like Huashuo Zhou Yang and them, but from another mountain, crossing an abyss several zhang wide.
Looking at the scene presented in front of him, Zhao Yi couldn't hide his surprise and hesitation on his face.
"Are you sure we can get through here?"
After two hours of running, they finally arrived at the top of the body of the Hubi Mountain, which is said to be the top of the Hubi Mountain at that time, and as far as the eye could see, under the brilliant sunset, half of the sky had been burned red, and the burning clouds were like gorgeous splashed ink paintings, paving a brilliant and scorching scenery in the sky.
But ASUS didn't have the heart to appreciate such a different scenery, what they had to do now was to cross the smoke-colored abyss that could pick up the clouds under their feet and lead to the top of Huzui Mountain, which was faintly visible from the clouds.
With such a width, even Zhao Yi, who is good at light body kung fu, also feels that it is difficult.
"If you live like this, you can't do it, but with this thing, there's no problem. Luan Ge was obviously not worried, but took out something from the bag on Zhao Yi's back.
It was the thick hemp rope she asked Zhao Yi to prepare before leaving.
The hemp rope several zhang long was coiled into a large plate, if it weren't for Zhao Yi helping to carry it all the way, Luan Ge was afraid that he would be tired enough.
But then again, if it weren't for the fact that she wanted to take Zhao Yi with her, she wouldn't have used this thing, so she comforted herself, and the guilt in her heart was really much better.
"You won't be ...... with this thing"
Zhao Yi watched her begin to wrap one end of the hemp rope around a big tree at her feet, and suddenly an idea came to her.
But as soon as the idea popped up, he quickly denied himself.
It's completely impossible, how can such a wide abyss be possible?!
If it could, how could ASUS take people to the sheep intestine path, and let people build a bridge here long ago.
However, Luan Ge did not stop the movements in his hand because of his doubts, but after tying the knots, he pulled hard, and after making sure that it was very tight, he tied several dead knots on the nearby trees next to him.
After all this was done, she clapped her hands and walked to Zhao Yi's side and said, "Now I'm not afraid of letting go of this end." ”
"You don't really have to set up ropes at both ends, do you?! At such a distance, even an eagle claw hook can't throw that far, and even if it's far enough, the rock hook is not strong, and it will fall straight down. ”
Although he didn't want to dampen Luan Ge's enthusiasm, when he saw that she really wanted to do this, Zhao Yi couldn't help but state the current situation and dissuade her.
If she really came like this, it would be no different from sending her to death.
"It's not a hook. Luan Ge shook his head, took out the other end from the coiled hemp rope, and held it in his hand, "Don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure of." ”
As she spoke, she straightened up and motioned to Zhao Yi to pay attention to her feet: "I will go to the opposite woods from this side." I've surveyed it before, and the trees are thick, so they're solid, and because they're close to the cliffs, they're not approached by anyone on weekdays, so they're safe. Later, when I go over, in order to avoid knotting the hemp rope, I need you to help me smooth the hemp rope. ”
As she spoke, she kicked the hemp rope coiled in front of her: "It's already coiled, and it stands to reason that it won't be knotted, but just in case, you still need to pay attention." ”
Zhao Yi looked at her indifferent to her worries, and couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Then how did you get over?"
"Huh?" Luan Ge was stunned, and then smiled at him: "Of course I flew over with my strength." ”
Seeing that Zhao Yi still had a sad face, she patted him on the shoulder and said: "The light body kung fu is practiced to the extreme, in addition to flying the eaves and walking on the wall and stepping on the snow without a trace, it can also be like a flying fairy outside the sky, come and go freely, don't believe me, I will use it for you for a while." ”
As she spoke, she squeezed her eyes at Zhao Yi: "Be careful, don't step on the rope." ”
After that, he stepped on the ground under his feet, and the whole person really rushed straight forward as he said before.
Zhao Yi was in a hurry and almost kept up, but after seeing the clouds and mist not far away, he still stopped on the edge of the cliff.
In just a blink of an eye, the hemp rope in front of him was like a long snake in a hurry, squirming towards the depths of the fire cloud ahead.
And in front of the long snake was the familiar and delicate figure.
I don't know if it's his illusion or the light of the sunset, he only feels that Luan Ge's distant figure seems to have a faint, but vaguely recognizable shape.
Like a bird, like a phoenix.
The clouds are full of flowers, and they are as brilliant as huge fireworks in full bloom.
But now, there are people who are like moths to fire, and like nirvana golden phoenixes, flying straight towards the place where the sun is at its peak.
Zhao Yi suddenly remembered the words recorded in the book of Nuwa's gods.
At the beginning, after Gonggong angrily touched Buzhou Mountain and made the entire sky dome break a big hole, when the god Nuwa sent fire against the sky and made up the sky cave with colorful stones, it was also so shocking, right?
For some reason, his heart suddenly felt a little empty.
But the feeling didn't last long.
Because the hemp rope coils that were originally placed on the ground have become fewer and fewer, and finally they are brought up from the ground.
Looking at the hemp rope floating in the air in front of him, Zhao Yi knew that Luan Ge must have reached the other end at this moment.
And from the shaking degree of the hemp rope, it can be vaguely seen that she is winding and tying at the other end.
The hemp rope is too long, the falling force in the middle will be very heavy, and it is not easy to straighten it, and it is not easy to straighten it from Zhao Yi's end, but he still tries his best to flatten the rope and try to make it tighter on Luan Ge's side.
After a while, the shaking of the hemp rope gradually decreased, only because of the slight tremor brought by the mountain wind.
Zhao Yi stepped back a bit, leaving a large open space in front of him.
Standing where Luan Ge tied the knot, he looked far away and looked at the end of the rope.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the figure that had just gone away to step on the clouds in the glow, like a fairy of the Nine Heavens.
"It's already tied up over there. Standing still on the edge of the cliff, Luan Ge stepped forward and said, "Although the distance here is wide, it will be much more convenient now that there is a rope to borrow strength." With your previous skills in the battle against Fusheng in the Cloud Pine Forest, although there is a void under your feet, it should not be difficult for you. ”
Zhao Yi nodded.
Luan Ge is right, if there is no hemp rope, he will go to the opposite side with his kung fu, and there is no place to borrow strength halfway, but he is afraid that he will fall directly under the cliff.
But now, it's different.
Although it is just a hemp rope in front of you, it can't make people walk like a steel chain bridge, but it is more than enough to move forward with its strength.
"But the wind is strong between the cliffs, and the hemp rope will tremble, just in case, you still hold this head in your hand. As he spoke, he saw Luan Ge take down the soft iron whip wrapped around his waist and hand it to Zhao Yi.
In this way, as long as no one on both sides lets go, it will be a glory and a loss.
Zhao Yi didn't take it, but took a few steps forward and said, "It's not necessary." With this thing, you're going to have to be as fast as I am, and you're too restricted. Besides, this distance is not difficult. ”
Luan Ge was stunned for a moment, and understood the meaning of Zhao Yi's words, so he no longer insisted and tied the long whip back again.
Zhao Yi, the son of the Hou Mansion, has never been a pus-filled soft egg who needs to be taken care of by others. Although he is not very old, if he really does the right thing, it is not something that others can underestimate.
These days, she is used to asking him from time to time when he has something, and she can't help but have a little more care in mind.
And because when he was in the Chu Palace before, he had Xiao Yan by his side and was used to taking care of him, so he couldn't help but treat him as an awkward child like a younger brother.
But the person in front of him is clearly not a child.
Therefore, the flesh and blood that a teenager should have is not less than half a point.
Zhao Yi is still different from Xiao Yan.
Luan Ge knew this, so he didn't worry about it anymore, nodded and said, "In this case, you should be careful." This time you go first, and I break back. The rope on this side has to be put away. ”
Zhao Yi did not hesitate or be reckless, after Luan Ge made arrangements, he exerted his strength under his feet, lifted his breath and stepped forward, like a dragonfly dotting water, a harrier turning over, and after borrowing strength on the hemp rope several times, he walked forward.
I didn't feel difficult before, but when I really jumped on the rope, Zhao Yi realized that things were not as simple as he thought.
The hemp rope is much lighter than the steel rope, so even if he lifts his breath forward, when he falls on the hemp rope and borrows his strength to get up again, he still needs to exert a lot of strength, and the hemp rope that originally looked stable shook violently.
In addition, the clouds under his feet are swirling, and the endless bottom of the abyss is dizzying, so his body is constantly shaking the previous few times.
It wasn't until he got used to this amplitude and stopped paying attention to the scene under his feet that his body gradually stabilized.
Finally, when he stood firmly on the edge of the cliff opposite and stepped on the ground, he breathed a long sigh of relief and brushed off the sweat from his forehead.
Luan Ge stood on the edge of the cliff behind Zhao Yi, staring intently at his figure, and his right hand was always on the long whip on his waist, so that he could strike in time in case of an accident.
It wasn't until her phoenix eyes, which were beyond the power of ordinary people's eyes, saw Zhao Yi fall steadily on the opposite side, that she breathed a sigh of relief with his movements, turned around and untied the knots wrapped around the tree one by one.
Holding one end in her hand, she used a little force, and the string of wooden beads on her wrist glowed with golden light, and with the golden shadow looming on her body, it carried her to the other side of the cliff.
As the twilight grew, Zhao Yi finally saw the phantom behind Luan Ge flying towards him.
That's, the phoenix motif.
He suddenly remembered the legend that he had never heard of and Luange.
The legend about the former Empress Luanjing.
"What's wrong? ”
A crisp voice sounded in his ears, disrupting Zhao Yi's thoughts.
"It's nothing, I just didn't expect you to be not much older than me, but your kung fu is better than me, I'm just a little unconvinced. Zhao Yi pouted at her.
As the saying goes, 'Heaven will descend on a man, and he must first suffer his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, and empty his body.' "So let's start with the muscles and bones" Luan Ge patted Zhao Yi's shoulder with emotion with a bit of pretending to be old, and at the same time handed him the hemp rope in his hand: "-Recoil it up, I'll go untie the knots over there." There wasn't much to come, but it wasn't good to be discovered. ”
Zhao Yi responded, took the hemp rope, and coiled it up one by one.
At the end of the action, before he could turn around, he only felt his arm tighten, and he was pulled to the side of the mountain rock and squatted.
was just about to speak, but he heard Luan Ge squatting beside him with a solemn face and pointed to his mouth:
"Shh ”
