14.Chapter 14
After Shi Zhixuan and Kongdu, who had just beaten you to death, left, leaving only Ling Chusi himself, and when he looked back, he saw a group of onlookers almost avoiding their eyes at the same time.
The corners of Ling Chusi's mouth twitched slightly, and when he turned his head again, he found that the inn's junior second child was also lying at the door and secretly looking this way, and then decisively performed a great light skill, and turned straight away.
After she disappeared from the crowd and made a big circle in vain, she quietly went back to the inn room through the backyard window - anyway, the room money was paid, so let's stay for one night and leave early tomorrow morning.
As for today's battle, what will it be rumored to be tomorrow, since Shi Zhixuan, who has a family, and the huge Pure Zen Sect behind him, Ling Chusi, who is alone in this world, naturally doesn't care even more.
Anyway, "spreading rumors with one mouth, refuting rumors and breaking legs" is never an empty phrase.
Other people's misunderstandings are actually not important to her, and Ling Chusi is not interested in tossing herself for other people's misunderstandings, rumors, or rumors, after listening to a lot, for people who don't care, there is actually nothing.
The next morning, the sun was shining.
Ling Chusi still jumped out of the window and left the inn without alarming anyone, and in the dining stall at the south gate of Yangzhou City, he changed another restaurant and had a casual breakfast, then left straight from the south gate of Yangzhou City, and followed the general direction in his memory to find the location of Daoxiang Village.
After leaving the city, he found a place where no one was, Ling Chusi directly turned over and got on his horse and walked along the official road.
At a small fork in the road, Ling Chusi pulled the reins and looked at a weedy path leading to the mountains that stretched out next to the official road, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though this rugged and winding path was completely different from the one she had once driven out of Daoxiang Village, the mountain path she saw was very similar when she stood on the official road at this fork in the road.
Ling Chusi knew that this was the path leading to Daoxiang Village, but at this time, I am afraid that this road is rarely walked, so it is so desolate and cold.
The mountain road in front was rugged, and after Ling Chusi stuffed a handful of the remaining imperial bamboo grass in his bag for his horse, he directly put the horse away, and performed the Ten Thousand Flowers Light Skill "Dianmo Mountains and Rivers" to sweep his body, and his toes tapped on the branches of several protruding mountains and trees, and quickly flew to the place where Daoxiang Village, surrounded by mountains, and where only one mountain path could be connected to the outside.
Ling Chusi stood between the silent and uninhabited mountains, except for the sound of the water left by the waterfall washing the rocks, there was also some faint and pleasant bird chirping around him.
A hundred years ago, Daoxiang Village, because it was surrounded by mountains, was like a paradise with no people.
In this remote paradise, there are no water windmills used to irrigate the rice fields under the waterfall, and naturally there is no Jinghu Pavilion built, and even the place that should be the Xiangshan terraces in memory is just a small hillside overgrown with lush weeds and occasional trees.
Ling Chusi followed the direction of the Jinghu Pavilion, through the small hillside where the Xiangshan terraced rice fields were located, until he walked to the Xiangshan Wild Forest, and then walked north, towards the direction of the only flat bottom between the mountain cols, which is the location of the Daoxiang Village village in his memory.
At this time, no one has come to Daoxiang Village, and on the flat bottom, there are naturally weeds everywhere, and occasionally a few small animals that have never seen people but look dull and run through the grass and trees unhurriedly.
Ling Chusi sat on the shore by the water for a while, looking at the mountain scenery here, as the sun began to slope westward, it was already twilight.
At this time, it was the 20th year of the opening of the Sui Dynasty, and it was also the most peaceful and stable period of time in the short history of the Sui Dynasty. However, it was also in this year that Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian deposed the current crown prince Yang Yong and replaced the later Emperor Yang Guang of Sui.
With the change of the crown prince, the political situation of the Sui Dynasty began to gradually become turbulent. Eleven years later, a peasant uprising broke out directly. In the next ten years, the world was full of smoke, heroes from all over the country rose up, and the gate valve families competed in the Central Plains, and it was not until the establishment of the Tang Dynasty that this period of turmoil was over.
Ling Chusi looked at the sparkling water, and his eyes became a little distant.
At this time, Daoxiang Village has not yet been established, this place can be called a paradise between the mountain col without the slightest human population, think about it, the earliest residents of Daoxiang Village, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty "Peach Blossom Spring" as described, with the chaos is coming, the nearby farmers in order to avoid the war, they dragged their families to live in seclusion here, however, unlike the residents in the Peach Blossom Spring, the villagers of Daoxiang Village after the war, although it is only a quiet and peaceful small village, however, the villagers still work hard to open up the road to the outside world in Daoxiang Village, Not isolated from the world.
As for the Tang Tianbao period a hundred years later, the peace of Daoxiang Village was broken, which is another story......
Between the lush trees, the sky is getting darker.
At night in the mountains and forests, the water vapor is quite heavy, and even the ground at the water's edge has a noticeable dampness.
Ling Chusi got up from the bank of the river, patted his clothes, and walked straight towards the flat land north of the Daoshan Wild Forest in his memory. In the deserted mountain col, the grass and trees are luxuriant, and naturally there are no paths, and even those hemostatic grasses have grown a little more prosperously.
Ling Chusi found a fairly quiet place, directly spread a large piece of giant beast fur on the grass, and took another piece from the package as a quilt cover, and directly stayed here for the night.
The mountains and fields are always filled with all kinds of lively sounds, the spring water tinkling, the tired birds returning to the forest, and the faint sound of the grass making a rustling when the pheasants and hares run......
However, in this Daoxiang Village, which was still inaccessible and uninhabited at this time, this night, accompanied by those natural shallow singing and chanting, Ling Chusi slept exceptionally peacefully.
It's early morning again, the morning light is faint, and the birds are chirping.
Ling Chusi lifted the fur of the giant beast covering his body, sat up and gently rubbed his eyes, and after putting the things away, he felt refreshed and relaxed.
The mountain air is fresh, and the dew-moist vegetation is mixed with it.
Ling Chusi walked briskly to the river, picked up a handful of water, washed his face, sat on the drinking bank and took out some prepared dry food from his bag and ate a little casually, and finally glanced at Daoxiang Village, which had not been noticed at this time, before turning around and leaving.
Daoxiang Village has already seen it, and Ling Chusi's Yangzhou trip, the only purpose will naturally be achieved.
When he came, Ling Chusi had imagined what Daoxiang Village would be like in the years of a hundred years ago, but he never thought that now this place was just an undiscovered piece of jade......
Perhaps, a few decades later, when the old place is revisited, Daoxiang Village will vaguely reveal a little bit of what it will look like a hundred years later......
Coming out of Daoxiang Village, which was surrounded by mountains, Ling Chusi passed through a small village not far from the foot of the mountain, and happened to meet a family in the village who had a happy event. There are not many people in the small village, and when I heard that a family had a child, the whole village seemed to become jubilant, and they rushed over one after another with some things to congratulate them.
The villagers were holding a basket of eggs to nourish themselves, a piece of soft cotton cloth to make clothes for their children, and some dew-stained wildflowers picked by children in the morning.
It's just some ordinary people, but it's the most peaceful and peaceful people's fireworks.
Having just come out of the still uninhabited Daoxiang Village, Ling Chu Si'an sat quietly on the tree, her petite body hidden among the dense branches and leaves, looking at the villagers coming and going, and suddenly felt that she had never missed Wanhua Valley so much as she did now......
Also located in the mountains, compared to Daoxiang Village, which is just a rugged mountain road, Wanhua Valley, which is located in the depths of the Qingyan Mountains of the Qinling Mountains, is hidden in the cliff and surrounded by cliffs, and can only be reached through a secret tunnel.
Don't think about it, at this time a hundred years ago, the valley owner Dongfang Yuxuan had not yet been born, and Wanhua Valley was a quiet and deep valley that was not inhabited.
However, even so, after Daoxiang Village's trip, Ling Chusi, who was inevitably a little complicated in his heart, still wanted to go there to see.
Thinking of this, after Ling Chusi made up his mind, he naturally did what he said!
After coming down from the rugged mountain road and arriving on the official road, Ling Chusi rode his horse and went directly to the southwest away from Yangzhou City.
Ling Chusi took a boat to Danyang on the dock by the Yangtze River, and after arriving in the city, she learned that a few days ago, a three-way melee between her, Shi Zhixuan, and the monk Likong seemed to have become a story that the storyteller of the restaurant teahouse often tells recently.
It is also interesting to say, the "evil king" Shi Zhixuan is a top master who is very jealous of the demon gate and the righteous path, among them, Cihang Jingzhai did not hesitate to send the best contemporary disciple Bi Xiuxin to "sacrifice himself to feed the devil", however, such a genius Shi Zhixuan, if it were not for the relationship between him and Bi Xiuxin, I am afraid that in the eyes of ordinary people, they would not know who this person is.
As for Ling Chusi, although everyone doesn't even know her name, however, the majority of working people like to gossip, and the "old witch" with the appearance of a young girl is quite legendary as soon as she is born, and there are people who mistakenly think that Ling Chusi and Shi Zhixuan are the same cannibalistic Yin faction who cannibalize each other and secretly add fuel to the fire, Ling Chusi has really been famous recently.
However, even if this is the case, the combined reputation of the "evil king" Shi Zhixuan and Ling Chusi may not be as good as the Pure Nian Zen Buddhism in the southern suburbs of Luoyang that is worshiped by the people of the world.
Ling Chusi was in Danyang City, and casually picked a teahouse where the storyteller was talking lively, because there was no separate private room here, Ling Chusi had to choose a location close to a remote corner, and instructed the guy in the teahouse to move the screen style next to him, and after making sure that his figure would not be seen, he ate a snack and listened to the storyteller talk dryly about the three-way melee a few days ago.
This time, the storyteller's focus was on the righteous deeds of the Zen Monastery's Master of Enlightenment to eliminate demons and defend the Dao, even though the void actually didn't have any upper hand at all. As for Ling Chusi and Shi Zhixuan's rebuttal of the empty words, they were all regarded as the crooked words of the evil sect without exception, and they were just internal strife and clamour.
Some people in the rivers and lakes may be aware of the danger, however, there have long been rumors of the Yin Sect, and Ling Chusi and Shi Zhixuan's rebuttal is naturally quite thin and unconvincing......
