Chapter 111: Steep Cliffs
The stele is finely carved with some patterns, take a closer look, it is actually finely carved with a landscape pattern, there is a pond and a lotus, the most is bamboo, like a lush bamboo forest. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Meng Qingzhi has never seen such a poetic stele, and looking down, the inscription reads "The Tomb of Concubine Xin Yao", is it the concubine of the palace?
However, looking at the stele again, it is pitted, there are no traces of polishing at all, and it is incompatible with the well-groomed front, and the rough back yin looks a little out of balance.
"This is a stele carefully built by more than a dozen craftsmen sent by the emperor, deliberately without gold and jade, and deliberately making the dark side of the stele rough, just for fear that this stele is too valuable and stolen."
Seeing Meng Qingzhi's curious appearance, He Xuan took the initiative to speak.
"Do you know the owner of this stele?" Meng Qingzhi's words felt strange as soon as he came out, and quickly changed his words, "Do you know this, Concubine Yao?" ”
"She's my sister." He Xuan replied lightly.
"Is she a concubine of the palace?" Meng Qingzhi wondered.
He Xuan nodded, she could see that the relationship between the emperor and Xin Yao was deep-rooted, and Xin Yao had a deep affection for the emperor, and was even willing to give up her life to protect the emperor.
After Xin Yao fell off the cliff, the emperor ordered people to go down the mountain to search, and when everyone couldn't find any traces, the emperor was desperately drunk on the edge of the cliff for three days and three nights, and drank until he finally fell unconscious, and was carried back to the palace by the palace people.
When Meng Qingyi heard that she was really the imperial concubine, he realized that He Xuan's identity might be a little complicated, so he didn't continue to ask, but just quietly accompanied her, guarding a piece of empty tomb.
After a while, the wind was howling on the edge of the cliff, it was really not suitable to sit for a long time, Meng Qingzhi took He Xuan to the back of a big stone in the shade, at this time He Xuan's face gradually eased, it seemed that the sadness had passed, and now his mood was stable.
"So, you're from Jiankang." Meng Qingzhi tried his best to talk about some brisk topics.
He Xuan nodded in acquiescence.
"I heard that the snacks in the south are delicious, by the way, are you used to eating the northern goods of our country?"
He Xuan didn't answer for a long time, Meng Qingzhi looked back, and immediately complained bitterly, only to see that He Xuan stretched out his poisonous claws to the cloth bag he was carrying at some point, and turned out all the persimmons inside, and when Meng Qingzhi found it, there was only half of it left.
He Xuan took two bites and wiped out the persimmons, and she directly answered Meng Qingzhi's question with her actions.
"Ancestor, this is the only snack I have in the past few days, didn't you eat enough just now, why do you still eat my persimmons." Looking at He Xuan's smug eyes to see if you dare to provoke Miss Ben, Meng Qing's pain was unspeakable.
"Others are full after two bites, but you can eat two more bites when you are full." Meng Qingzhi pointed at He Xuan, trembling with anger.
Estimating that the haze in He Xuan's heart had almost dissipated, Meng Qingzhi got up and stretched out his hand in front of her.
"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere."
Meng Qingzhi's face was bright, his eyes were clear and beautiful, and his optimistic appearance made He Xuan unable to refuse for a while, so he obediently got up and followed him.
I thought that Meng Qingzhi would take him to the top of the mountain, after all, only the mountain is beautiful, but Meng Qingzhi slowly approached the bottom of the cliff, He Xuan couldn't help but wonder in his heart, this is a wild cliff below, what good place can I go?
The two of them shuttled one after the other through the steep rocks, which were shrouded in fog all year round. The terrain is steep, the further down you go, the narrower the mountain road becomes, the steeper it becomes, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the cliff once you stumble, and there are no bones.
Meng Qingzhi originally wanted to hold He Xuan's hand, in case her center of gravity was unstable, he could support her in time; Second, He Xuan's skin is like clotted fat, and by the way, he takes advantage of it.
However, He Xuan did not give Meng Qingzhi a chance, she seemed to be quite familiar with this terrain, facing the steep mountain road, He Xuan was not timid at all, and often reminded Meng Qingzhi that there were thorny shrubs in front of her, and there were rough long vines in front of her.
"You look familiar with this place." Meng Qingzhi guessed that He Xuan's calm and relaxed appearance was as if she was walking in her backyard, as if she had opened this mountain.
"I've climbed this mountain more than a hundred times." He Xuan confirmed Meng Qingzhi's speculation.
"That's how your scars came from." Meng Qingzhi immediately realized, he had fought with He Xuan, He Xuan's kung fu was really level, with her strength, she still wanted to be attached to this dangerous mountain road from time to time, but it was not surprising that her body was covered with scars.
Take the situation just now, Meng Qingzhi just roared, He Xuan's feet slipped, and he almost fell down the mountain, with this strength, it was really difficult to challenge such a steep cliff.
"Don't investigate this little injury." He Xuan subconsciously closed her cuffs, the scars on her arms were indeed scratched by the long vines on the cliff, which was already a minor injury, sometimes she accidentally fell on the boulder, and she had to rest for more than half a month in the broken temple before she could move.
He Xuan followed closely behind Meng Qingzhi, and suddenly they came to a protruding stone wall, which was covered with moss, smooth as jade, for He Xuan, the way forward was broken, and he could only continue to go down.
However, Meng Qingzhi didn't seem to have the intention of stopping, he pointed in the direction of the protruding stone wall, and introduced: "Nuo, the place I want to take you to is behind this stone wall. ”
"Oh, here." He Xuan responded calmly, but in fact, there was a dark surge in her heart, this boulder blocked the way, and there was no place to settle around the boulder, she waited to see how Meng Qingzhi would turn over.
Meng Qingzhi smiled elegantly, not allowing He Xuan to react, and picked her up again.
He Xuan was about to break free, Meng Qingzhi had already lightened his feet, leaving the path where the two were standing, he held He Xuan and flew up in the air, He Xuan looked down, there was an empty cliff, a small gravel fell, and soon disappeared from view, not even an echo was heard.
Frightened, He Xuan closed his eyes, but instead hugged Meng Qingzhi tightly, allowing Meng Qingzhi to hold him tightly in his arms.
That is, in the blink of an eye, Meng Qingzhi had already landed firmly on the other side of the boulder with He Xuan, but this blink of an eye was extremely long for He Xuan, obviously she had already gained a firm foothold, she still hugged Meng Qingzhi tightly, and did not dare to open her eyes.
Meng Qingzhi saw her timid appearance, which was very different from the vicious appearance of dealing with strong men before, and the corner of his mouth smiled, but he let go of this excellent opportunity to ridicule, and reminded He Xuan with a positive color.
"It's here, you see."
He Xuan, who was in his arms, slowly opened his eyes, stood still, and then quickly pushed Meng Qingzhi away.
"What's the matter, haven't you found out about this place?"
Meng Qingzhi knew that her first reaction was to push herself away, and it was estimated that it would be a heavy push with scolding, he had already established his footing and was fully prepared, after all, pushing down from here was not a joke.
