Chapter 41: Nightfall
The sky in Shengjing City gradually darkened, the whole city was darkened, and the whole Shengjing City gradually lit up again, and the palace was the brightest, and the lights were brilliant.
Although it is located in the north, but backed by the Wolf Juxu Mountain, the cold wind blowing from the extreme north can not blow through the Shengjing City, and the entire imperial city has become the warmest and most lively place for the Xiongnu.
Although the grassland people don't like this dark city, and they hate the king of the northern courtyard in the palace, Zhongxingshu, but there are still many people who frantically pour into this flowery city, even if the nomadic customs are rooted in the blood, the grassland people will occasionally imagine that settling in a certain place, establishing a city, and living like the Central Plains people is also a good choice.
This idea gradually consolidated and strengthened, and the grassland people would look to the south from time to time, where was the Central Plains, and heard that the land there was fertile, there were no buriesard in winter, and there were no wolf plagues, and the grain was planted on the land, and there was no need to water it, and the next year would be a bumper harvest, enough to eat for a whole year.
That's reading, alas, the superior can do things, I can't imagine it.
In Shengjing City, in the palace, on the royal road that leads directly to the north and south, a woman dressed in Central Plains is pushing a wheelchair and slowly walking towards the light.
In the wheelchair sat a ghost-like Zhongxing book, with deep sunken eye sockets, only a crumpled soft skin left on the face, wrinkles spreading to the depths, and gray and messy hair, even if carefully groomed, still jumped out messily and flew in the night wind.
Zhongxingshu's hands and feet were shattered, and he could only sit in a wheelchair, he had no intuition, and he couldn't feel the pain or heat, but the woman still covered the king of the Xiongnu North Courtyard with a velvet blanket.
The woman slowly pushed the wheelchair, the wheels creaked and creaked, as if someone was grinding her teeth, and when she reached a step, the woman stopped the wheelchair and turned back.
Zhongxingshu couldn't help coughing a few times, the cough became louder and louder, and the corners of his mouth drooled, like an old dog left on the side of the road waiting to die.
The woman squatted in front of Zhongxingshu and wiped the saliva from the king of the North Courtyard with a snow-white silk handkerchief: "Sir, let's go back." ”
Zhongxingshu shook his head and refused, and motioned for the woman to stop the wheelchair: "Celadon porcelain, what do you look like in that star?"
The woman's celadon looked at the eyes of the Zhongxing book, although her husband had taught her how to look at the star map, but the sky was full of stars, countless stars, she always couldn't figure it out, and shook her head: "The slave is stupid, I don't know." ”
Zhongxingshu smiled, and there was another endless cough, and he eased his strength for a while: "That's Sirius, what is the place under the stars, do you know?"
Celadon remembered that Mr. had said that this star, the wolf was located in the well, the brightest star in the whole day, and under the star was: "Hanzhong, the hometown of Mr." ”
Bank of China squinted his eyes, and seemed to have infinite emotion: "Hometown." After a pause: "Celadon porcelain, do you know why the old woman of the Northern Wei Dynasty poisoned me back then?"
Celadon thought about the wording: "That snowy night, the people of the world and the heavens entered Tai'an City, the Shuanglong Great Array was not opened, which created the slaughter of that snowy night, Mr. was in charge of the needle eye of the Shuanglong Great Array in Tai'an City at that time, and afterwards the old woman dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, not only blaming Mr., but also blaming Mr.'s family, and executing the appalling Zhu Shi clan. ”
The weather-beaten king of the Xiongnu North Courtyard thought that he had seen the events of the year very lightly, and said it through celadon, and his heart still ached faintly: "It doesn't matter if the old woman kills my Zhongxingshu, but she is too ruthless, and she will behead my Zhongjia, this kind of blood and hatred, I Zhongxingshu will not report in this life, and I will not be a person!"
In the end, the words were already full of hatred, slowly closed his eyes, calmed down, and opened his eyes again, and the book of the Bank of China returned to its usual calmness: "Actually, I also received the oracle of heaven back then, not an image, nor a sound, but a feeling, constantly rippling in my heart, faintly affecting my mind, the Double Dragon Great Array is not not activated, but it is late." ”
"It's late?" Celadon frowned, puzzled.
"Tai'an City is not Shengjing City, Tai'an City has long been out of scale, I went to just tinker, some mysteries, so far I am particularly puzzled, that night the heavenly people entered the city, the Shuanglong Array according to the original deployment, but did not start, can not stop the heavenly people from entering Beijing collectively, and then the Shuanglong Array opened, the people in Tai'an City could not escape, and the Forbidden City became the Shura field of the dead, so the fall of the Tang Dynasty, I have an unshirkable responsibility. Zhongxingshu shook his head and stopped the celadon who wanted to open his mouth to defend himself: "You haven't experienced what happened back then, so you don't need to excuse me, if I don't dare to admit this, I will be your husband." ”
"Afterwards, I thought about it for a long time, and after I got to the grassland desert, I still wondered what happened that night. First of all, it is certain that the heavenly people entered Beijing, the Xiongnu went south, the Southern Liang went north, and the Western Chu established the country, all of which were caused by the so-called providence. I haven't figured out what providence is, maybe only the Tang Emperor Li Mocun and Yan Shenggong Kong Shangren can give the answer, but unfortunately, these two people are no longer alive. Bank of China said.
Celadon slowly pondered Mr.'s words, and asked, "Could it be that the Double Dragon Great Array has not been opened, and it is also because of the will of heaven that it is causing trouble?"
"At the beginning, I also thought so, Providence not only wanted to destroy the Tang Li Clan, but also wanted to use the Li Clan to reduce the number of heavenly people, but after thinking about it a lot, I denied it, what Providence really cared about was Li Mocun and Kong Shangren, and those so-called heavenly people were just that. This is what I don't understand, those two have never practiced, let alone martial arts, and they rely on what to threaten the will of heaven. The vast way of heaven cannot be speculated, the world is small, and the white horse passes through the gap. Zhongxingshu smiled bitterly and moved his fingers slightly, that was the only place where the king of the North Courtyard could move.
Celadon had a heart, pushed the wheelchair and turned a corner, and walked back.
At this time, the night is getting deeper and deeper, and the sky is full of stars.
Pointing to the acacia tree standing in the palace, the Bank of China said in a leisurely tone: "There are too many things in the world that cannot be explained, such as this acacia tree, rooted in the earth, can be seen everywhere in the world, and it is magical enough, maybe this is the handiwork of Heaven, used to monitor the world." Over the years, in addition to fighting against the Northern Wei Dynasty, in order to avenge my family, I have also continued to think, and finally gained something, and I feel more and more clearly that maybe after the will of heaven, there is still one person standing, and that person is the fundamental reason why the Double Dragon Great Array has not been opened. ”
Celadon looked shocked, and felt a suffocating heat, someone stood behind the providence, that didn't mean that someone was playing with the providence?..
