Chapter 281: Phoenix Flower
Early the next morning, Xingzhe and Xi Yao set off for Buzhou Mountain, Xingzhe told Xi Yao his thoughts, Xi Yao was very supportive of Xingzhe's approach, and Qin Qiong, the king of Huai, should be cut by a thousand knives.
This time, Xingzhe went to the carriage shop to buy a carriage, because the matter of going to Buzhou Mountain can't be known by too many people, and the less the better.
And if it is a rented carriage, then they will not send Xingzhe and Xiyao up the mountain, they will stop at the foot of the mountain, and the rest of the way can only be walked by Xingzhe himself on his legs.
Xingzhe's legs are quite good when he runs, and letting him climb the mountain is basically equivalent to killing him.
Xingzhe used to climb the mountain with the school, at that time he was still a very naΓ―ve teenager, he naively thought that climbing the mountain was like what was written in the primary school textbook, looking at the scenery, picking fruits, giggling, and playing to reach the top of the mountain.
But when Xingzhe climbed to a third, Xingzhe already felt the deep malice of the elementary school textbooks, and everything was a lie.
Not to mention picking fruits, giggling, and fighting, Xingzhe doesn't even have the mood to look at the scenery, and the game experience is really poor. If it weren't for the fear of being thrown to death, Xingzhe would have wanted to roll down directly.
At that time, Xingzhe felt that he was an out-and-out brain-dead, which tendon was wrong, and he had to participate in mountain climbing, Xingzhe even clearly remembered that this activity was voluntary, that is, he could choose to refuse.
But the naΓ―ve Xingzhe always thought that climbing the mountain was very interesting, so he did not hesitate to fill in his name in the registration form. Since that almost life-saving mountain climb, Xingzhe has never climbed a mountain again, and he is wholeheartedly rejecting mountain climbing.
So this time is no exception, although Xingzhe's current physical strength is much stronger than his body, but he still instinctively refuses to climb the mountain, maybe not climbing the mountain has become a belief for Xingzhe.
It took Xingzhe and Xi Yao a morning to finally arrive at Buzhou Mountain. Although the sun is not small, the temperature has not gone up, and occasionally a gust of wind blows, and it feels a little cold.
"The stronghold of the rebels is here, and we will be able to reach it soon by driving the wagon. I don't know how the rebels will greet us, though, so be prepared to run away. If they do, I'll get you out of here right away. β
Xi Yao spread out the map, pointing to the dots on the map, and kept admonishing Xingzhe.
"Don't worry, I'm good at escaping, they won't catch me. β
Xingzhe said proudly, as if he was the flying bolt, as long as he runs, the speed is very fast, and he can even catch up with the moving bicycle.
"Let's go. β
Xingzhe drove the carriage up the mountain, although the road did not look very neat, but the road surface was very smooth, even if the carriage drove on the road, it was effortless.
The scenery of Mt. Buzhou is quite good, and in addition to the lush green foliage around, there is a whole forest of red leaves in the distance. Xingzhe didn't know what kind of tree it was, but the leaves of the forest were all red. It's like a burning flame, it's beautiful.
The trees are still thriving in the summer this season, how can there be a fiery red maple forest, so Xingzhe is very curious and keeps staring at the red leaf forest.
"Xianggong, what are you looking at, is there anyone over there?"
Xi Yao noticed that Xingzhe was looking intently in one direction, and she thought that Xingzhe had discovered the rebels.
"I'm looking at the red woods over there, what kind of trees are they, it's so beautiful. β
Xingzhe said.
"It's a phoenix tree, and as for the red you see, it's not a leaf, it's a flower, it's a phoenix flower. β
On Mayday, the mountain flowers are in spring, and the fiery phoenix flowers are like the feathers of the fiery phoenix. It is bright red with a yellow halo, and when the flowers bloom, the trees are full of flowers, and the fiery red is a piece of color, which contrasts with the green leaves. Because its leaves are like the feathers of the flying phoenix, and the flowers are like the crown of the phoenix, it is named the phoenix.
When the flower blooms and falls, the branches and ground are fiery red, and the landscape is very magnificent. It turns out that the phoenix flower and the phoenix have the same poignant and magnificent color, which is pitiful and fascinating.
After Xi Yao told Xingzhe about the characteristics of this phoenix wood and phoenix flower, she told Xingzhe a story about phoenix flowers.
The Western Weiluo Kingdom has a spirit phoenix that can transform into a human form. The king has an eldest daughter, who is called Peiying, and loves this phoenix very much.
A few years later, the princess suddenly had a baby, and the king felt strange, so he angrily cut off the crested head and buried it in the long forest hill. The princess was heartbroken, and soon after, she gave birth to a baby girl, who was able to speak on the ground, but was very loved by the king
γ For many years after that, the princess has been depressed, one day it snowed heavily, the princess because of the memory of Lingfeng, came to the long forest hill, sang a song, maybe the song was too sad, moved the heaven and earth, Lingfeng actually came back from the dead, and flew into the clouds with the princess......
"The spirit of the phoenix, the long return. I think slowly, and it will never backfire. The phoenix flower is a spiritual flower, and since it blooms in Buzhou Mountain, it means that Buzhou Mountain is not a place in general. β
Although Xingzhe is not superstitious, he believes in spirituality, everything has spirituality, just like the puppy you raise, it will think that you are its owner, and your home is its home.
When it can't see you, it will be very anxious, and when you are in danger, it will go out of its way to save you, this is all spiritual.
"It seems that this Zhou Gongjin is still a man who is favored, and even God is helping him. β
Xingzhe spread his hands, he was a little unconvinced, why is it that others are so lucky, but his luck is a little weak? This is not fair.
"Let's go, there is the stronghold of the rebel army in front, if it goes well, we will be able to meet Zhou Gongjin immediately, and see what this favored man looks like. β
Xi Yao stopped the carriage and got out of the carriage herself. In front of it was a tall wooden gate, surrounded by a wall made of rocks, and inside the wall was the stronghold of the rebels.
On each side of the wooden door stood a man with a spear, who was supposed to be a doorman. But with only two people guarding the door, it shouldn't be of much use.
Those who know how to do martial arts will be able to easily settle the two of them, and then enter the stronghold of the rebel army through the gate in a grand manner. Unless these two guards are both strong in martial arts, there are only two of them, which is indeed too few.
"Miscellaneous people are not allowed to enter!"
The doorman pointed his spear directly at Xingzhe and Xiyao, glaring at them with a serious face.
"We're not idlers, we two have something very important to discuss with your commander, so let's send someone to report it. β
The two doormen looked at each other, but seeing that Xingzhe looked serious and didn't want to joke, they finally decided to help Xingzhe report it.
"Wait a minute, I'll report to the Commander. β
