Chapter 14: The Origin of the White Peak (I)
Listening to the voices of one or three people in Du Yuan's Guining, Dou Xin sat back on the bed, closed his eyes, and asked on a whim: "Master, if I close my eyes, will you still see?" ”
After a long silence, Dou Xin noticed a slight sound coming from his heart, and his eyes unconsciously opened a slit. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn an instant, Dou Xin seemed to be on a high mountain, the feeling of the cold wind on the mountain blowing on his cheeks was clear and abnormal, and the lush woods below the mountain were accompanied by the sound of the undulating leaves.
"When you open your eyes, I see the world as you see it; When you close your eyes, I see the world in my heart. Guanlanjun's voice actually poured into Dou Xin's ears, if there was a third person in the room, he would definitely be able to detect Guanlanjun's voice.
"What is this?"
"Tianlan Mountain, my former home." Guanlan Jun Road.
Dou Xin had a flash of inspiration: Tianlan Mountain is Guanlan Jun's former residence, and it is not better to directly let Guanlan Jun take him to find it. Dou Xin got up and looked out the window, the courtyard was silent, and Gui Ning's men had dispersed for a long time. Dou Xin's heart was easily captured by Guanlan Jun. "Tianlan Mountain, you can go up if you want to. Besides......" Guanlanjun's voice weakened.
Dou Xin immediately became vigilant and tiptoed to the door. "Master, master......" Dou Xin called several times, but there was no response. Dou Xin hurriedly ran to the mirror and saw that Guanlan Jun's eyes were closed in the mirror, as if he had fallen asleep.
Dou Xinzai looked at the face in front of him carefully, with two thin black eyebrows, and there was always a smile on the corner of his mouth, which seemed to be a bit of a woman, which did not match the arrogant swordsman who had been in the rivers and lakes for a long time and leaned on the world with a sword. Dou Xin tilted his head and unconsciously looked at this face for a long time, and his face flushed slightly.
Unconsciously, Dou Xin collapsed on the table. In the dream, Dou Xin seemed to go back to his childhood, led by an old man through the bustling crowd and to a high mountain. The rock in front of the mountain is engraved with a small seal of Gu Jun, and Dou Xin can see that the first and last characters are "heaven" and "mountain".
Dou Xin was held by the old man and climbed to the top of the mountain in the continuous steps. There was a huge palace hidden in the clouds on the top of the mountain, and at the entrance of the palace stood an old man with a white beard, and beside him stood a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, and the two of them stood silently in the cold wind. The old man holding Dou Xin let go of his hand, "Little boy, the old body will send you here." The lord has instructed you not to get involved in the affairs of the court, not to hurt people's lives, and most importantly, not to take revenge, the lord is looking at you from above, you can't let your father worry anymore. After that, the old man saluted the old man in front of the palace, "Thank you, Mr. Guo, give my little son a place to live, and the little slave will go back to deal with the aftermath and retire first." ”
"This is the blood of the Zhong family, how can I not help, you can go back with peace of mind. Shan'er, you settle him down first, and then order him to go down, and tomorrow will hold the apprenticeship ceremony, he is my closed disciple. Dou Xin was pulled by the young man, and when he turned around, he saw that the old man had disappeared under the mountain. The mountain was covered with thick green, and the cold wind struck, and the young man's hand tightened.
"My name is Yishan, and from now on you can call me senior brother."
Unable to see the young man's face clearly, Dou Xin had already come to his senses, and Guanlan Jun's brows furrowed sharply in the mirror. The sky outside the window was already white, and Guanlanjun still hadn't woken up.
Dou Xin silently drew the word "bell" in his palm, and Du Yuan's voice was already heard in the courtyard outside. "Girl, don't snooze! Pack your things and go! ”
Dou Xin pulled his hair together and coiled it in a bun with a rope in front of the mirror, and the halo floating on his face in the sunlight gradually dissipated. Du Yuan opened the door and Dou Xin walked out. Gui Ning had already pulled his horse to guard the millstone, closed the door of the Westinghouse, and walked slowly with his luggage.
"Gui Ning, what about your men! Why are you the only one left? Du Yuan shouted when he saw the empty courtyard.
"They will go back to hand over the errand first, Father Qi still has someone to take care of there, but don't let him send another batch of people, I can't bear it." Gui Ning handed Du Yuan the reins of the fattest horse, and bowed to Du Yuan, motioning for him and Dou Xin to use a horse.
Dou Xin always guarded the sharp edge in Guining's eyes, turned around and walked around the back, and got on the horse. "Master Ning, men and women don't kiss, I'm with a master and a monk, it's not rude." Dou Xin smiled lightly, and lowered his head to catch a glimpse of a tacit look.
By the time it was too late, the four of them were ready to go. One and Dou Xin's horses were at the forefront, Du Yuan and Gui Ning walked side by side, the two chatted lively, Gui Ning led the conversation to Dou Xin from time to time, but he didn't ask anything more after asking for a long time.
One seemed to close his eyes and recuperate, and distanced his horse from the two behind him, "Master, what do you want to say?" Dou Xin asked when he heard the voice behind him drifting away.
"There are two basic routes from here to the Tianshan Mountains, the first is to go west to the White Sandfly Peak in Shudi, and then turn north; The other is from the north to the Qilian vein. Chengtian Pavilion has a post station to the west of Whitefly Peak, and they will normally walk from that side. The Qilian vein is connected to Didi in the north, and the Didi people are barbaric and vulgar, and it is not easy to go from there, but it is much closer. Gui Ning is a treacherous person, not as decent as Du Yuan, you can hide Du Yuan's affairs, I'm afraid you won't be able to hide Gui Ning for a long time. To be on the safe side, we would have parted ways with them at our next stop. He whispered. Dou Xin listened as he glanced back at Gui Ning from time to time, his mind racing. Dou Xin can see the Qilian pulse in the Dou Inn, and if he passes from the Qilian vein, he is likely to find his way home.
Although Dou Xin vomited in Tongyin Temple, he also regretted it faintly from then on. She believed in Master Juehui, but she didn't believe in one. If you talk about a sense of security, it is not as good as Du Yuan. At least Du Yuan is here, and Gui Ning will not be too embarrassed by himself. Guanlan Jun's soul wakes up from sleep, and there is no way to guide Dou Xin, so Dou Xin can only choose a trustworthy one to take him to Tianshan. "Why should I trust you, what good is going to the Tianshan Mountains for you?" Dou Xin said coldly.
Choked by Dou Xin's words, he sneered for a while, "I have what I want, and before we complete your business, our requests are the same." If you are willing to believe General Du, I have never mentioned what I said before when I became a little monk. I'm still going to do my best to protect you along the way. After thinking about it for a long time, I still buried it in my heart. Gui Ning's arrangements for his subordinates the night before were heard clearly, but he didn't expect Dou Xin to be a strong master. A person passing through Di Di still has seven or eight points of certainty to ensure safety, but with Dou Xin is not necessarily. Calculating the danger level of the two roads, it is actually about the same. I thought about it again and again, firstly, Dou Xin had few words, and secondly, he had his own presence along the way, as long as he prevented Guining and brought Dou Xin to Tianshan safely, he would be considered a complete merit.
Dou Xin didn't know how to reply, there was a pure land on the side of Qilianmai that she didn't dare to disturb, from childhood to adulthood, protecting the inn was the last bottom line in her heart. Perhaps there was still a hint of luck for Du Yuan, Dou Xin rejected Yi's suggestion. Dou Xin looked back and glanced at Du Yuan with a solemn expression, Du Yuan was talking and laughing with Gui Ning, turned his head to meet Dou Xin's eyes, and felt the complicated look in Dou Xin's eyes. Gui Ning noticed Du Yuan's hesitation, and glanced at Dou Xin's meaningful expression, and secretly smiled bitterly.
Xue Ping quickly returned to Chengtian Pavilion, and at the same time, Gui Ning's men also hurried back to Chengtian Pavilion.
"You didn't kill Du Yuan, what are you doing when you come back?" Lord Qi didn't raise his head, but only checked the secret reports from all sides, and sure enough, no one found the whereabouts of the Guanlan Sword.
"Lord Hui, the Du family and the Xue family are world friends, I ......" Before Xue Ping's words fell, he was interrupted by another voice.
"Daddy Qi, what are you doing for Ping Boy? Since you ordered him to go, could it be true that you really wanted the life of your eldest brother? ”
Lord Qi put the stack of letters in his hand on the fire, and the flames suddenly became bright. Xue Ping looked up to find the source of the sound, but found no one.
"Don't look for it, up there." Master Qi stood up and stretched out his arms, turned his sore neck, and stopped in a posture of tilting his head. Xue Ping also looked up, only to find that there was a person lying on the beam, and the color of his clothes was the same as the beam.
"You go back and tell your father Lord Lang that you are safe, and go up to Tianshan with me tomorrow." Also, I heard that the little son of the Yiwei General Zhong Xu family did a good job in Zhongwutang, right? After Lord Qi said that, the people on the beam of the room were stunned for a moment, guessing what Lord Qi was about to say.
Zhong Xu's wife is the sister of Mrs. Xue Shilang, and that little son is Xue Ping's cousin. Chungmudo was a place for the emperor's internal guards, and every year children of appropriate age were selected from the families of various military commanders to learn martial arts from an early age, and those who could make a name for themselves there could be reused in the future. Xue Ping was dug by Lord Qi from Zhongwutang, Xue Ping's father, Xue Shilang, was only six grades at that time, and Lord Qi's power could be as high as one grade. Although Xue Shilang was unwilling to let his eldest son enter the Chengtian Pavilion, he had nothing to do. Xue Ping has been able to do things properly in the past few years, and he is very much used by Lord Qi. Lord Qi said a few more good words in front of the emperor, and Xue Shilang has risen to this day, from a sixth-grade official to a third-grade waiter. Today, Lord Qi has to repeat his old tricks, and even the son of the Zhong Xu family is unwilling to let go. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is selfish, Lord Qi played good chess, and he was obviously promoted to the officials of the two families, but he really controlled the two families firmly in his own hands, and it was difficult to turn over again.
"Master Hui, that's my cousin, and I didn't come and go often in the past." Xue Ping replied cautiously.
"How old is he?" The man on the beam blurted out. He knew that the weight of this question in his mouth and that of Lord Qi was completely different, and it was inconvenient for Lord Qi to ask directly, he still had to carry a small black pot for Lord Qi.
"There are still four years to reach the weak crown, just an impetuous hairy child." Xue Ping became cautious, Xue Zhong and the two families had him trapped in Chengtian Pavilion, he really didn't want his cousin to end up like him.
"You were only a year older than him when you entered the pavilion, you can bring your cousin tomorrow, go on the road with you, and I'll just say a word to the people of Zhongwutang." Lord Qi blurted out casually, "Go on the road tomorrow and bring your little general." What is his name? ”
"Back to the adult, the younger brother is named Huan, and the word is Ge Hong." Xue Ping whispered, seeing that Lord Qi smiled and waved his hand, he bowed and retreated.
Before he came out of the Chengtian Pavilion, Xue Ping seemed to have a thousand chaotic vines around in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel sad when he thought that the painful choice he faced a few years ago was about to reappear.
The man on the beam was silent for a moment before jumping down. "Dad, is it so important to go to Tianshan this time? What if you can't find Yishan-kun? The people in the court are about to be emptied by you, and if there is another enemy, the court will not be able to send decent people. ”
"What are they? If you let the Anya people come back......" Lord Qi shuddered and didn't continue. "Dog son, it's rare to come back, drink with my father."
