Chapter 49: The Hidden Sword: The Prosperous Tang Dynasty

In the fourteenth year of Tianbao, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, the prosperity of the past was as bright as yesterday, today I only saw the war all over the place, the wolf smoke was everywhere, I didn't see the Zhumen Qihu, I didn't see the bead curtain of the green building, only the ruins and broken walls, and the dying chaotic people.

The disciples of various sects rushed to the battlefield, not seeking to be an official and a knight, not to seek glory and wealth, but to seek peace and tranquility for the people, and to restore the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the peace of the world.

Wanhua Valley sealed the valley and ordered not to help the two, but the disciples in the valley practiced more to save the world, and the medical skills of the body and the world were in mind, although the valley master could not help, there were still disciples who quietly left the valley and went to the battlefield.

From the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers all the way north, the land is barren, the homeless people carry their family wealth, flee with their wives on their backs, and this mighty team all fled, as if Chang'an was a vicious beast that could eat people, and could lose his life.

"Chang'an Avenue is even narrow and sloping, and the green cow and white horse are seven incense cars." He turned sideways to make way, and stood outside the main road and looked at the end, where the sky had changed color and became very ugly.

"Squeak." Yunluo touched his face with a nut.

"I'm fine." He shook his head, waited for the crowd to be almost gone, and returned to the road, continuing on his way.

A young woman with a child in her arms walked in front of her, unkempt and carrying a burden, and hesitated when she saw him, "Is this young man going to Chang'an?" ”

"Exactly." He saluted the young woman, the book between his eyebrows and eyes has not faded, it is still the same as when he came to Chang'an, but unfortunately time has passed, the Qiluo girl who laughed and talked with him has disappeared, and standing in front of him today is a widow who has suffered from the war.

"Shaoxia still don't go." She hugged the child in her hand tightly, as if this would give her the strength to settle down, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Chang'an has fallen, and the Tang army is planning to withdraw." ”

"I always have to go and see, after all, it's Chang'an." He said this with a faint nostalgia in his eyes.

"Shaoxia is really going." The young woman knew that he was from the rivers and lakes, and showed him the way, "Let's go here, it shouldn't be a problem with the skills of the young man, it's just that ......" Her words were a little taboo, and like mourning.

"You will pass through mass graves, where most of the people who died in battle are buried."

He looked in the direction pointed by the young woman, and saw the mountain in the distance, and knew that he was going to climb up with great effort, and the distant mountain was a little darker, which was incompatible with the dim sky, and he didn't know who was wrong whose painting, he saluted the young woman again, and did not look back. "Thank you."

The mountain is somewhat similar to the mountain in the valley, both are lush and green, like a painting by the pen of a disciple of Moyi, only a few strokes are understated, and the demeanor has already been outlined.

There is no shadow of a mass grave at all.

Along the way, he saw people who were injured or sick, and he would often stop to help people see a doctor, so the road to Chang'an was delayed again and again, and he resigned to the villagers at dusk one day and continued to Chang'an.

"Dr. Su won't leave for a night." The old man asked him.

"The moonlight is just right tonight, I will take advantage of this moonlight to rush to the next foothold, so I can continue to hurry tomorrow." He said he had been here for too long.

"In that case, I can't force Dr. Su." The old man gave him a lantern and told him to bypass the mass grave in front of him, where there were so many dead that sometimes the cries of ghosts could be heard at night.

There are no ghosts and gods in this world, it is nothing more than people's hearts, he listened to the old man's instructions with a smile, left by the moonlight lantern, and embarked on a journey.

There were indeed too many dead people in the mass grave, and before he could get there, he heard the old crow monster howl, so frightened that Yun Luo climbed on top of him, and pulled his hair tightly to prevent him from letting go.

"It's the first time I've seen you afraid of the dark." He quipped, his feet did not stop, tonight was the full moon, the round jade plate almost grabbed half of the sky, and the moonlight poured down, illuminating the way forward.

The grass on both sides of the path was overgrown, and it was impossible to see what was lurking inside, so Yunluo looked left and right, and saw two clusters of green fire lit in the wild grass, so frightened that she threw the nuts over.

The thing came over and disappeared without a trace.

Yun Luo was in a hurry, she just threw the nut out of her hand, and it squeaked and asked him to help him get the nut back.

"You really are, too." He stopped, carrying the lantern to the side, just as the dark clouds on the edge of the jade plate were covered, and the night sank, so he could only use the yellow candle flame to squat down and help Yunluo find nuts.

The nuts were small, and the grass was disorganized, and he couldn't see the nuts for a long time, so he had to stand up and say to Yunluo, "I'll buy it for you when I get to Chang'an." ”

Yun Luo didn't follow, rolled on his head and accidentally rolled onto his shoulder, swept his face with a big tail, and didn't give up.

"Okay, good, one bag won't do."

Hearing the bag of nuts, Yunluo quieted down and urged him to hurry on the road so that he could see its nuts as soon as possible.

He was about to leave, when he suddenly heard a cat meow, and the dark clouds were just leaving the moon, and he saw a lynx jump up on the stone pile and put down the contents of his mouth, which was the lost nut of Yunluo.

This lynx was born beautiful, with two tufts of hair on the tips of its ears and a bell around its neck, and it was supposed to live a leisurely life, but its fur was dirty, and it was not good to see it under the moonlight.

Seeing that he turned his attention to himself, he grabbed the nut and jumped down, took a few steps away, and looked back at him.

"Squeak." Yunluo wants to get its nuts back.

"You're leading the way." He understood what the lynx meant, it was only the owner, and it would come to him for help, afraid that its owner had an accident.

Who would keep a lynx as a pet, he followed the lynx's footsteps and nodded Yunluo's little head with his finger.

is also a disciple of the Hidden Sword Villa.

After walking a few more steps, I smelled a corpse smell, which enveloped this mountain field, making people subconsciously stay away from here, and the crow cry I heard before also came out of here, and when I saw someone coming, the sound was louder, but I was afraid that people would fly away.

The lynx's footsteps are extremely light and fast, and if he hadn't learned it well, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to keep up with it, and when he caught up with the lynx in front of him, he found himself in a mass grave.

Not even the moonlight was here, it was gloomy and gloomy, the air was filled with rancid smell, and there was a broken bone under his feet, which was terrifying.

Misguided, still here we are. He sighed and asked the lynx in front of him, "What about your master?" ”

The lynx flicked its long tail and jumped to a small dirt slope to look at him, and there was no expression on the cat's face, but he could see a hint of mockery.

Stupid human, find out my.

"It's really." He was about to say that you have too much temper, when suddenly something grabbed him on his ankle, and he threw the lantern out of his hand in fright, and the wolf fell to the ground, and happened to meet the skull of a dead man.

The two holes in his skull were facing him, and for no apparent reason there was a resentment, and the cold hairs on his back stood on end, because a hand was pressed on his waist.

Something came out of the earth and crawled on him little by little by his feet, with the moisture of the ointment and the smell of the dead.

Yun Luo fainted directly, he closed his eyes and didn't dare to move, only felt that the thing was very heavy, and he couldn't breathe, until the cold hand pressed on his shoulder, and someone sighed in his ear.

"But I see pity, and it makes people rejoice."

"I beg my sister to let me go." He panicked, and said anything to save his life, "It's good to have Longyang in the bottom, it's not to my sister's appetite." ”

The lynx, which was grooming its fur, stopped, and the cat's eyes reflected the face of its owner, and he didn't understand why the shoveler didn't continue.

"Don't deceive me, Wanhua Valley really has many broken sleeves."

"You are not allowed to slander my Great Ten Thousand Flowers Valley." He didn't know where he had the strength, grabbed the hand on his shoulder and pressed the person to the ground, so that he could see the other party's appearance clearly.

It was a young girl, with a neat ponytail, wearing bright yellow clothes, and carrying a giant sword behind her back.

was discovered, she didn't panic, she just tilted her head and asked, "Brother Hua, do you want to save people?" ”

**

The plan to go to Chang'an was stopped again, because he had an extra sick number in his hand, and he was still sick to death.

"It's not good to learn anything at a young age, and it's scary to learn to pretend to be a ghost." He chattered, crushed the medicinal herbs in his hand, applied them to the cloth, and the lynx on the side sneezed several times in a row, and finally couldn't stand it and ran to his master, holding his master's hand and begging for hair.

"I didn't." She rested her head on the shrine, and they were in a ruined temple with nothing left but to sit under the shrine, barely having a chance to catch her breath.

"I woke up in the dirt and thought I was dead." She said as she touched the lynx's head with her hand.

He beat her down, guessing that she was faked death and was treated as real death, and buried directly in the soil.

"Later, when I heard Mingyu's voice, I realized that I was still alive." Mingyu is the lynx, which will stick to her and meow, very affectionate.

"It's good to be alive." She said.

After applying the cloth, he turned around and said, "Take off your clothes." ”

She sat motionless, with a dead look on her face, and seeing that the other party had not moved for a long time, she said lazily, "I am from the Hidden Sword Villa." ”

"So what?" He said.

"Rich."

"And then?"

"It's a life of clothes to stretch out your hands and food to open your mouth."

"So you won't take off your clothes." He came back to his senses.

"The children can be taught." She moved forward, and naturally raised her hand.

"I'm a man." He endured.

"Aren't you broken sleeves?" She wondered. "What is there to be shy about."

Even if I have a broken sleeve, I am a man, don't I know if men and women give or receive kisses, not to mention that I am not a broken sleeve!
