Chapter 436: Facing Danger
After some days, Yang Xianmao finally received a reply from the emperor. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Song Taizong told Yang Xianmao that he had also been confirmed from other sources that Emperor Daliao was frail and sickly and had recently become sick, but it was the first time they had heard of the fact that Yang Xianmao might be preparing to rebel in the letter. Song Taizong attached great importance to this news, and instructed Yang Xianmao to try his best to promote Xiyin's rebellion as soon as possible if possible, so that they would be in chaos within the Liao Dynasty. At that time, if possible, Song Taizong will once again drive the expedition to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and even go straight to Huanglong.
Yang Xianmao took the letter, shook and smiled bitterly, and said to himself: "Do your best to promote this? To put it lightly, let me go to the Liao Dynasty to add oil and vinegar to fan the flames?"
————————
In the blink of an eye, it is the Chung Yeung Festival.
On the first day, the Yang family discussed going to the summit the next day. It is a tradition to climb a mountain during the Chung Yeung Festival. There are no big mountains near Xuanzhou, but there are a few small mounds, the highest of which is on the opposite bank of the Qingshui River. From there, you can see a radius of tens of miles. Almost all the people in the city have to go there to climb the heights, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going, which is still quite lively.
The Huang Yao Sect Master was already well injured and was about to say goodbye and leave, when he heard that the Yang family was going to ascend, the Huang Yao Sect Master was very grateful to Yang Xianmao, and offered to go to the Ascend together to contact Yang Mingde and his wife. Of course, the Yang family happily agreed.
On the first day, the Yang family prepared sumptuous food, loaded several carriages, and the family, escorted by many guards, marched out of the city to the hill by the Qingshui River outside the city.
Although Han Xue'e was pregnant, she was also lively, and she wanted to follow, so Zhang called a few old mothers to wait carefully, and when she arrived at the foot of the mountain, she was carried up the mountain in a sedan chair.
The crown princess also came out to play with the child in her arms. After the child was snatched away last time, the princess cupped the bow and snake shadow, and was bitten by the snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, and the little guy was not even allowed to touch his personal maid, and held the child in his arms all day long. They rarely even go out of the yard. However, after a few days, everything was too peaceful, and the princess's nervousness gradually relaxed and stabilized.
Before the family set off on the Qingshui River, Yang Xianmao rode a Chiyang donkey, accompanied by Zhizhi and Snake Fairy Gu.
In the distance, I saw the quiet river flowing by. Hongsheng'er suddenly had a whimsical idea and asked Yang Xianmao: "Young master, you said that this water is so clear, will there be fish? This river is called Qingshui River, and the water is very light." Isn't there a saying that when the water is clear, there are no fish? ”
Zhizhi, who was following Yang Xianmao, quarreled with her and said, "That's not necessarily, the water in the fish tank at home is also very clear, how can there be fish?"
Hongsheng'er didn't know the grievances between her and Yang Xianmao, nor did she know how powerful she was, and thought that she was just an ordinary old lady, who followed Yang Xianmao in order to repay the grace of saving her life, so she often played with the two of her, and when she heard her say this, of course she was not convinced, and snorted and said: "You are the one who is foolish! The fish in the big urn at home is put in, not by itself." ”
"How do you know that you put it in? Could it be that you put it in? Since you didn't put it in, how do you know that someone put it in? You can see that you are talking nonsense. ”
Hongsheng'er's face turned red and she said, "I'm talking nonsense? You ask the young master, did the fish in the big urn be put in? How can the big urn grow fish on its own?"
Zhizhi really asked Yang Xianmao seriously: "Brother Xian, did you say that the fish in the water urn at home were put in or grew by themselves?"
Yang Xianmao smiled, this old woman is really rejuvenated. She still has to ask such a simple question, but children are like this, children don't understand anything, and they always have to ask clear when they encounter curious things.
At that moment, Yang Xianmao said patiently: "The fish in the water urn are put in, and the fish in the river grow by themselves. There was a dozen fishing girls in this river, and I used to go with her to catch fish in the river, but it was freezing cold, and the water was frozen, so she made a hole in the ice and went under the ice to catch fish. The water is very cold, and she can actually catch the fish ashore, don't you say?"
Zhizhi's old eyes widened, full of curiosity, and said, "Isn't it frozen in winter?" I heard that there will be monsters under the ice, she goes to catch fish under the ice, isn't she afraid that there will be monsters below?"
"How can there be monsters ...... underwater?"
As soon as Yang Xianmao said this, his heart suddenly froze, and he immediately reined in Chiyang Donkey, and shouted urgently: "Stop! Don't go, stop quickly!"
The Yang family and his party all stopped and looked at him puzzled. Demoiselle and the others looked around nervously, thinking they had spotted the enemy.
Yang Xianmao looked at it, there was still some distance from the river, but he could already see the river, so he quickly turned around and said: "Turn the horse's head, go quickly, go quickly, leave here, go to the city, and walk until you can't see the river." ”
Yang Mingde stuck his head out of the carriage and asked, "What's wrong?
The Yellow Medicine Sect Master and the Snake Immortal Gu both came over to ask what was wrong. Yang Xianmao said calmly: "I don't have time to explain now, retreat one after another! You escort my family to retreat, don't leave casually, in case the enemy sneaks up!"
The two hurriedly agreed, and Yang Mingde saw that the expression on Yang Xianmao's face was very precious, and it didn't seem to be a joke, so he quickly ordered the handlebar to turn around and go to the city, until he couldn't see the river.
Seeing that his family's carriage was walking away, Yang Xianmao whispered to Zhizhi: "You come with me, pay attention to the possibility that there may be monsters in the river ahead, you can coax it with the most powerful palm, especially to bombard him in the eyes, understand?"
"Is that monster scary?"
"It's a huge crocodile, very large, and its belly can swallow two elephants, do you say it's big? Moreover, it is estimated that it will take up half the width of the river when it dives into the river dozens of zhang long. I'm worried that monsters will appear near the river, so we'll be on guard. If it does appear in the big crocodile, you will attack madly at all costs. But be careful to ensure safety, and try to kill this big crocodile, do you hear?"
Zhizhi's face was a little pale, and nodded, the wound on her forehead was not yet healed, and she was still wearing bandages, and when she heard that she was going to face a monster, she couldn't help but change color on her face, and asked Yang Xianmao tremblingly: "Is that monster scary?"
"It's not scary, it's a big crocodile, it has a big mouth, it's full of sharp teeth, and there are scales on its body, which are generally not broken, so you have to find a way to attack its eyes, which are its weakest points. - Remind you once again that this Flood God Crocodile is very large and extremely agile, so you must be careful. ”
Hearing this, the white-haired old woman smiled: "Don't worry, Brother Xian." Whatever it is, I'm going to smash him to pieces!"
Yang Xianmao believes that although she has lost her memory after the age of five or six, martial arts is a physical skill that has been practiced over the years, and it is stored in the body, not in the head, so the memory is lost, but the martial arts skill will not be forgotten.
Yang Xianmao took Zhizhi down the official road and walked towards a river beach where there were no people. He didn't want to affect the others, and he didn't know if his speculation would come up, but he had to do it, or it would be miserable for his family. He prayed in his heart, hoping that he had guessed wrong. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will not be able to cross the big river in the future, and I will not even expect to get closer.
Getting closer and closer to the river, Yang Xianmao asked Zhizhi and said, "Can you take someone with you when you fly?" I don't think the snake fairy Gu can do it, your level is the highest, you should be able to do it, right?"
Zhizhi shook his head and said, "No, the Imperial Weapon can only fly alone, and you can only carry things when you reach level nine or above." I still have one last hurdle to break through, and when I reach the ninth level, I can fly with you, it's fun. ”
Yang Xianmao was a little disappointed, and said in a low voice: "Then you hurry up and fly first, so as not to want to fly when you really encounter a monster, which will delay time." ”
Zhizhi shook her white-haired head and said, "Don't worry, no matter how fast the big crocodile is, it can't be faster than me." ”
Speaking of which, his demeanor is not like a five- or six-year-old child, but a confident martial arts master.
Leng Yue nodded, patted the Chiyang donkey under his crotch, and said, "Man, be smart, this time we may meet that big crocodile old monster." ”
The Chiyang donkey snorted, shook its head, and then walked forward.
They cautiously reached the river, but there was no sign of the big crocodile in the quiet water.
Yang Xianmao remembered the last time, they encountered the big crocodile twice in a row, both when they crossed to the center of the river, whether it was crossing the bridge or crossing the river, it seemed that if they did not enter the water, the crocodile would not take the initiative to attack. Because the crocodile knows that it will cross the river no matter what, and if it crosses the middle of the river and suddenly attacks, it will be the deadliest.
When Yang Xianmao approached the river, he had already taken out a black miasma pill and held it in the palm of his hand, ready to repeat his old trick at any time, release the black mist, and escape while the chaos was in chaos. At this moment, he was even more nervous, holding the black dagger in his right hand and the black miasma pill in his left hand, and said to the Chiyang donkey: "Old man, let's swim over and see if the big crocodile will attack us again." If that's the case, it's all up to you!"
The Chiyang donkey snorted again, and without hesitation began to flow across the river. The Chiyang donkey is not good at water, so it can only move forward with four hooves, and the speed is very slow.
As soon as Zhizhi stepped on the void under his feet, the whole person had already risen into the air, looked down the river, and said, "It's nothing." ”
Yang Xianmao was very surprised, because the snake fairy Gu had to step on the Emei thorn to fly, even Yang Ye, Yelu Xiuge, Han Kuangsi, these eighth-level high-level powerhouses, all had to step on the blade to fly, but they had never seen anyone who didn't have to step on anything, floating directly in the air, except for the white-haired old woman in front of him.
Yang Xianmao happily said to the old woman in the air: "Zhizhi really has yours, you fly a little higher, and you can see the bottom of the river from a high place." See if there are any big crocodiles lurking at the bottom of the river, and then see if there are any big crocodiles swimming up and downstream. Let me know if so. ”
Looking down from the air, the water of the Qingshui River is very clear, and if there are really big crocodiles swimming at the bottom of the river, you will definitely be able to see it from the air.
Zhizhi agreed, inhaled, and his whole body was raised several feet higher, hanging in the air, looking down.
At this time, the tourists who were waiting to cross the river in the distance looked at this side, and when it was confirmed that it was a person floating in the air, they all thought that they had met the gods. Naturally, they don't know that some good men and women kneel down and kowtow and shout to the gods.
