【Outside Xiangmentai City】

From a distance, I saw that the city gate was so lively in and out, especially the people who came out of the city, all of them were full of red light, holding a cloth bag, grinning and almost jumping up: "Go quickly, there is silver, haha~ really money, really, look, white silver!" As he spoke, he shook off the cloth bag and showed it to the people who were about to enter the city gate. The sun shone on the silver, almost dazzling Ling Hougu's eyes.

He subconsciously raised his hand: "What silver?" ”

Qiao San'er hurriedly raised his arm to block Ling Hougu's eyes: "Master Hou, this new city lord is too generous, he actually gave silver!" As soon as the words fell, he saw that someone was holding a gold ingot!

Qiao San'er's eyes were straight: "Hou Ye, Hou Ye, look at it, gold, gold!" Among the people in this group, although only this Qiao San'er was babbling, the others didn't make a sound, and their eyes were still shining. You know, this gold ingot is in their place, but it is really rare, let alone any rare treasures.

Ling Hougu walked forward and pondered in his heart: "What kind of character is this, who will suddenly come to this wild place to be blonde and silver? ”

The group came to the city gate of Xiangmentaifu.

I saw that the city wall was towering, gray and black from afar, and green from close.

There is a city gate number on the door in front of him, and a few big characters read: Wenzhong Gate.

Liang Yong on the side read: "Smell the door." This one has a name, and it's interesting. Hearing the public, hearing the public, it is a guest who views the wide. ”

Ling Hougu said lightly: "North Gate, smell the public." Those who listen to the world know the abyss. All the way to the north. This name is not arbitrary. ”

Everyone heard it in a fog, but they didn't dare to ask, so they could only echo it, yes, yes.

Qiao San'er suddenly saw a flag hanging next to the plaque at the city gate: "Who said that there is no order to enter the city? This old woman has lost a tooth, and she is still smiling from ear to ear, and she is afraid that it will be difficult to weigh a few silver ingots.

"Mother-in-law, did you take this silver from this city gate?" Duan Kun stopped the grandmother who had just come out, and the grandmother squinted her eyes and smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it's in this hole, look, baby! I've never seen such a big piece of silver in my life." After saying that, he hugged him in his arms and walked away. Everyone looked back, it seemed that there were more and more people who came to this money, and there were even people who came on horseback.

Ling Hougu smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed at these people coming and going: "Do you know what this is?"

Qiao San'er said with a hippie smile: "I don't know, you said." ”

"That's desire. But no one can resist this unearned money. Including me. After Ling Hougu finished speaking, he turned around and was about to enter the city, but was stopped by Liang Yong.

"Master Hou, this Lingqi..."Liang Yongru didn't mention it, it seems that this group of people have forgotten to say that there is still this Lingqi.

Liang Yong took a few steps forward and read: "Hanging the door order - all old, weak, sick, disabled, and incompetent laborers can enter the door platform and listen to the door, and reward a certain amount of silver." Hou Ye, this is heard of many people, and only the old, weak, sick and disabled can enter. You see..."

"Master Qiao, go in and try it, and see if his order is easy to use!" Ling Hougu ordered.

"I, Lord Hou, I, I'm not old..."Qiao San'er was particularly afraid that such a dangerous errand would be left to him alone, so the city gate was in front of him, but he retreated.

"Master Qiao, Hou Ye has asked you to try the fire, you have always bowed down to Hou Ye, this is a bone eye, don't be ashamed..."

"Yo, General Xiao, don't make fun of me. I'll go, I'll go. After Qiao San'er finished speaking, he glanced at Hou Ye, and saw that Hou Ye still did not say that he wanted to change people, so he walked to the city gate tremblingly, walked a few steps and looked back at everyone, that posture, just waiting for which time Hou Ye could give a surprise and call him back.

As a result, when they all arrived in front of the city, everyone behind them shouted: "Master Qiao, hurry up, don't grind." Qiao San'er closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and entered the Wenzhong Gate.

There was no one on both sides of the city gate, Qiao San'er walked in with round eyes, and as soon as he saw the crowd of people coming out of the city, he was stopped.

The sword in front of him instantly frightened Qiao San'er. He slowly turned his head to look at the man who had stopped him, who was no different from an ordinary soldier except for his black appearance.

Qiao San'er smiled all over his face: "Hehe, that, I, I went to the wrong door." ”

"Hearing about the crowd, only the old, weak, sick and disabled, what do you think, what kind of do you belong to?" Qiao San'er couldn't help but panic when she heard this. This man looks like a soldier, but the tone of his speech is not what that little soldier should have.

"Yes, yes, didn't I just say it, I, I went to the wrong door. I'm leaving, I'm leaving. Qiao San'er turned around and was about to leave the city. As a result, the soldier took a step back: "You, have you ever seen the hanging order on this city gate?"

"Hanging Door Order?" After Qiao San'er muttered to herself, her eyes rolled around: "I saw it, I saw it, it's what you just said, the old, weak, sick and disabled one, I saw it." ”

The soldier put away his weapon: "It's good to see it." Anyone who enters the door must strictly abide by the hanging ~ door ~ order!" After speaking, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile, turned around and disappeared. Before Qiao San'er could react to what the man said just now, he couldn't find it in the crowd.

He trotted all the way, turning around towards Ling Hougu and his party as he ran. The people waiting outside the city saw Qiao San'er's panicked appearance, thinking that something terrible had happened, and they all clenched the weapons in their hands one by one, waiting for a battle at any time.

Who knows, when this Qiao San'er arrived at Ling Hougu's side out of breath: "Wait, Hou Ye, that, that city, the order from above, good, good." Hou Ye frowned and looked at Qiao San'er in front of him, this guy was so frightened that there were beads of sweat on his forehead, and he couldn't speak, everyone was waiting for his next step, but as a result, he was almost slow, and he didn't say one, two, three.

"Master Qiao, what about then? What are you afraid of like this, what's unusual in this city?" Liang Yong asked anxiously.

"Ah, no, wait, didn't Hou Ye let me try that order to make it good or not? When I went in, a soldier stopped me and said that I was not old, weak, sick or disabled, and I came out. ”

"Is this the end?" Xiao Song asked him in surprise with a star.

Qiao San'er replied seriously: "Ah, it's over." ”

Everyone sighed for a while: "Eh, I said Master Qiao, where did you go when you can talk in the Houye Mansion in the second place?

"That's it, Master Qiao, this day will take you to the battlefield, you can't even get on the horse!" everyone laughed.

In this group of people, it seems that only Ling Hougu has been silent solemnly. After everyone laughed, he turned his head sideways and asked Qiao San'er, "How many people are there in the city?"

"A lot, a lot. ”

"Soldiers?"

"I didn't see anyone else, so the one who stopped me was a soldier. ”

"What to wear?"

"What are you wearing? Black and silver armor. ”

"What's unusual in the city?"

"I really didn't realize that the city was the same as before, just a circle of walls. ”

Ling Hougu thought for a while: "Let's go, go to the West Gate." ”

So, Ling Hougu led a group of people to the nearby West Gate.

At the foot of the west gate, Ling Hougu looked up, this square city gate from the appearance, it seems that there is no difference from the north gate, but the words on this door plate are black and black, and there are three words on it - Rashomon.

Ling Hougu didn't read it, he thought it silently in his heart. Qiao San'er on the side pointed with his finger and read slowly: "Luo ~ Sheng ~ Men?" After reading, he looked back at Ling Hougu. He saw Hou Ye staring at this door in a daze, but he didn't speak, he couldn't hold it back, so he opened his mouth and asked cautiously: "Hou Ye, what does this Rashomon mean?"

Ling Hougu did not speak. In fact, it was not that he didn't hear Qiao San'er's inquiry, but at this moment, he was trying to recall, where had he seen this Luo Sheng, Luo Sheng's? It's just that I can't remember it for a while.

Liang Yong saw that Ling Hougu did not respond, and whispered: "Could it be that it is all-encompassing, and the meaning of all things is multitudes?" Qiao San'er looked back at Liang Yong: "Liang Qing is really knowledgeable!"

Liang Yong straightened up and ignored Qiao San'er's words. He was stupid and thoughtful, and he also knew that this Qiao San'er was not praising him, yin and yang were weird, and he felt that he was just showing off.

Ling Hougu relieved himself, and he looked up at the Ling flag hanging on the city gate. Liang Yong took a few steps forward, approached and read slowly: "Hanging Gate Order - The following two points are allowed, (1) Viewing the heaven and the earth, the four seas, the use of the Ding Dome, the courage of the earth, and the embrace of the mountains and rivers.

(2) There is a way, there is a release, there is a law, there is a repeatedness, there is a beginning, there is a history, there is a promising, and there is no violation.

Only then can you enter the door of the Rashomon Gate, and reward a number of priceless treasures. ”

After Liang Yong finished reading, this Qiao San'er became active again: "This, what is this? Enter a door, you have to guess to solve the problem? If you can't solve it, you can't get in? If you don't have any culture, just like the north gate we just came over, those people's, this can't get in at all!" Qiao San'er's expression was very exaggerated, and Xiao Song behind him was uncomfortable: "Qiao Zhutang, the people, haven't you already set up a door? What are the people doing here, don't you have a useless heart." ”

"Eh, no, Xiao Jiang, the old, weak, sick and disabled that door is written, what about so many young and middle-aged people?" Qiao San'er turned around and argued.

Duan Kun turned his head and said, "Don't make any noise, Hou Ye is thinking about something." ”

When Xiao Song heard this, he swallowed what he wanted to say again, and he stared at the back of Qiao San'er's head and made a grimace.

Liang Yong approached Ling Hougu: "Master Hou, what does this mean?"

Ling Hougu narrowed his eyes: "This West Gate, there are only two types of people who can enter, one is a strategist and a commander, and the other is a general. ”

Liang Yong asked suspiciously, "How to solve it?"

"This view of the world is to be erudite and talented, to weigh the pros and cons, to weigh the pros and cons, to the top of the head, to accept the courage of the earth, to enter the courage of the pertinent words, to measure the embrace of the mountains and rivers, that is, to have a measure in this chest, but also to have a city. Ling Hou said quietly.

Liang Yong suddenly realized: "Then, Hou Ye, why is this second one a general?"

"Look at what is written above, squareness, courage, discipline, execution, military spirit, enemy combat experience, achievement, do not violate military orders. ”

"Master Hou, this new king from the gate is a bit level!" Xiao Song said jokingly behind him.

"It's not that there is a level, he wrote this hanging door order so profoundly, invisibly, it has already blocked some people from the door. It seems that this is a request to enter through this west gate, and they are all elites. Ling Hougu said thoughtfully.

"Elite?"

"Ordinary soldiers are selected from among the common people, look at this wild land, how many have read books? and those who can understand the words on this door are basically all generals. Ling Hougu said lightly.

"Master Hou, in this way, this doorway, the water, is quite deep!"

"It's okay, it's not deep, we have oars. Hou Ye laughed after speaking. Ling Hougu's smile instantly blew away the tense atmosphere of Fang Cai.
