"I always want to thank you, I didn't have a chance, I finally met today, I'm so happy" Mo Feitian held Zhang Jixiang's hand and said,
"It's been a long time, I haven't seen you, I can't recognize you" Zhang Jixiang also held Mo Feitian's hand tightly, and said happily,
"Feitian, please drink tea!" Zhang Jixiang took out a teacup, poured it full of tea and said,
"Let's have a chat while drinking tea!" Mo Feitian picked up the teacup, took a sip and said, Zhang Jixiang made a gesture of please, and Mo Feitian came to the wall full of paintings, Mo Feitian explained the deep meaning of the painting to Zhang Jixiang one by one, and deliberately pointed to a Dunhuang mural of "Novice Keeping the Precepts**", which is about a novice named Bhikshu who went to a woman's house and asked for alms, but the woman was fascinated by the appearance of the Bhikshu Novice, and wanted to be reconciled with the Bhikshu Novice for a hundred years. There is also the Dunhuang mural of "Sayana sacrificing his body to feed the tiger", telling the story of this painting, once upon a time, the youngest son of the king of the big car country, called Sajuna, once, went into the mountains to hunt, came to the deep valley, saw a tigress, because of postpartum weakness, could not find food, was dying, was about to die, the young son next to him could not live because of no milk to eat, Sayana saw this, thought: although the tiger is notorious, but two lives, should find a way to save them. But if you don't bring food, how can you save them? So he stripped off his clothes and lay down in front of the tiger, and the tiger was dying and had no strength to eat. Satana climbed the cliff, broke a bamboo thorn, pierced the throat, jumped down, and landed in front of the tiger's mouth, the tiger licked some blood, and then he had strength, and the tiger ate the flesh and blood of Sayana, and led the little tiger away. When Satana's parents found out, they were overwhelmed with grief and built a stupa for Satana, and the incense continued, and Satana became a Buddha. After listening to Zhang Jixiang, he sighed, the storyline is touching, the meaning is profound, and the benefits are not shallow, no matter what you do, you must have the spirit of sacrificing yourself to feed the tiger and keeping the precepts, and you are not afraid to sacrifice your life, you will definitely be able to get things done. They talked until dawn before saying goodbye to each other.
Zhang Jixiang and the soldiers set off early with the cargo car, and when they reached the Qilian Pass, Suoyang City arrived immediately, and the shadow of Suoyang City could be seen from afar.
When Li Guang was ordered to march westward, he won victories along the way, and the enemy army he fought fled in the desert and could not form an army, but he reached Kuyu City, was ambushed by the enemy, and was firmly besieged in the city. Although he counterattacked many times, he still couldn't break through the encirclement, and could only stick to Kuyu City. Day by day, the grain and grass in the city was about to be cut off, Li Dang led a team of men and horses, killed a bloody road and rushed out, to Chang'an to move the rescue troops, Li Guang called the soldiers to cut down on food and clothing, and personally led people to dig grass roots and bark to fill the hunger, in order to wait for reinforcements. One day, Li Guang found that a plant growing in the fields around the city was the same as carrots, called Suoyang, which could be eaten, so he ordered the soldiers to dig it out to satisfy their hunger. In order to commemorate the fact that Suoyang saved the lives of the whole army, Kuyu City was changed to Suoyang City.
Suddenly, from the valley on the opposite side, a team of people rushed out, and the white camel saw that it was not good, it was a robber, and came to rob the dart cart. Hurriedly ordered the carriage and horses to stop, and looked around, on the top of the mountain on both sides, there were many people standing, holding swords, shouting loudly, the people and horses on the opposite side had rushed over, blocking the way, Zhang Jixiang drew his knife, ready to fight.
The leader is a black-faced man, holding a big axe, fierce and vicious, as if he was going to skin someone alive. "Stop!" shouted, "Stop! Where to go, leave the goods"
Zhang Jixiang saw that he knew, hugged his fists in his chest, raised his voice and said: "Zhang Qian, hello, in the next Zhang Jixiang, entrusted by others, come here, please give a face, borrow a way, and thank you again in the future."
Zhang Qian said: "General Zhang Jixiang, I have admired the name for a long time, I am fortunate to be lucky, I am also entrusted by others, as long as you press the goods"
Wei Qing, a member of the general on the left behind Zhang Qian, clasped his fists and said, "General Zhang Jixiang, as long as you leave the goods, we will not embarrass you."
Luo Jia, a member of the general on the right behind Zhang Qian, clasped his fists and said, "General Zhang Jixiang, don't toast or eat, eat and drink."
Zhang Jixiang's expression changed slightly, and he said: "Friends, it's funny, the bodyguard is to deliver the goods to the destination without any difference, how can you abandon the goods and flee in order to save your life!" ”
Zhang Qian said angrily: "General Zhang, then I will be offended!" After speaking, with a wave of his hand, a big axe, and slashed towards Zhang Jixiang, Zhang Jixiang easily dodged his attack, only defended and did not attack, but made him more and more difficult to fight. Zhang Jixiang moved his body lightly, Zhang Qian chased him and slashed from side to side, it was expected that no matter how strong his body was, no matter how good his physical strength was, it would be exhausted. Zhang Qian grabbed the big axe with both hands, put all the weight of his body on the big axe, and gasped for breath, "You, don't hide anymore, ...... will only hide everywhere". 764 Wei Qing with a single sword and Luo Jia with a double hammer rushed forward, respectively surrounded Zhang Jixiang and the soldiers, fighting each other, Zhang Jixiang and the soldiers could not break out of the encirclement, Zhang Qian saw that the helper came and took the opportunity to jump towards the goods, snatched the goods, Zhang Jixiang had no intention of fighting, fought hard, looked at Wei Qing and Luo Jia and ten soldiers, the fight was inseparable, Zhang Jixiang rushed out of the encirclement, galloped to chase Zhang Qian, but Zhang Qian and the goods had no shadow at all.
Of the twenty soldiers under Zhang Jixiang, only five soldiers remained, and they got rid of the attack of Wei Qing and Luo Jia and rushed over to join Zhang Jixiang. Zhang Jixiang led five soldiers along the car loaded with goods, left on the ground wheel tracks, looking forward, walked dozens of miles, when the sky was about to get dark, to the Yulin River Gorge, Yulin River east and west banks of the cliffs, there are several caves, on a flat ground far above the canyon, Zhang Qian, Wei Qing and Luo Jia and ten big men are around a pile of fire, eating, the robbed cargo car, parked next to it, Zhang Jixiang, quietly touched the past, three soldiers immediately stepped forward, one pulled up a truck, and ran quickly. When Zhang Qian, Wei Qing and Luo Jia and ten big men who were eating, found that they were catching up and wanted to grab the goods, Zhang Jixiang and the remaining two soldiers stepped forward to block Zhang Qian, Wei Qing and Luo Jia and ten big men went to the road, a fight, Zhang Qian, Wei Qing and Luo Jia and ten big men, retreated, couldn't parry, ten big men were killed one after another, Zhang Qian, Wei Qing and Luo Jia were all injured, they couldn't resist, and if they fought hard, they might be killed, Zhang Qian turned around and fled to a hut in the desert.
When Zhang Qian pushed the door in, he saw a gray-haired old lady with a stack of wrinkles on her face. When she saw me coming in, she suddenly said out of nowhere, "Come in quickly, I'm just missing you ......."
After Zhang Qian entered, he saw that there was a table made of sea buckthorn inside, and there were a group of people around the table, there were seven, all of them with dull and lifeless faces, and only one skinny Wei Qing glanced at Zhang Qian casually.
The white-haired old lady asked Zhang Qian to sit down, and then she gathered around a large pot and stir-fried something. She was busy and close, asking if it was called, what year's birthday, etc. It's just that what she said was completely correct and seemed to know everything about it, which surprised Zhang Qian.
While he was talking, Zhang Qian inadvertently stood up and glanced at the pot, which almost didn't fall out of his soul in fright, it turned out that what was being fried in the cauldron turned out to be a few white skeletons.
The white-haired old lady saw Zhang Qian peeking at her, and suddenly became angry, she grabbed a handful of red powder and sprinkled it into the pot, Zhang Qian only smelled a strong fragrance of flowers, and sat down at the table and couldn't move anymore.
suddenly understood that these people at the table must have been killed by some ghost trick to make their faces expressionless. Then Zhang Qian saw the white-haired old lady coming over with a sharp knife, and smiled treacherously as she walked, like an old devil.
Zhang Qian knew that she was going to cut off her head and fry it in the pot, although she was scared, her body froze there, and she could only watch the white-haired old lady get closer and closer.
At the moment when the sharp boning knife touched Zhang Qian's neck, Wei Qing, who had just been motionless and closed his eyes, suddenly burst out, and took advantage of the white-haired old lady's inattention to slash her pipa bone with one palm.
After that, Zhang Qian and the people around him were able to move freely, and under the guidance of Wei Qing, they hurriedly braved the low temperature of the desert night to go out.
As soon as he walked out of the hut, Zhang Qian heard a sharp cry behind him, like the howl of a female ghost or the roar of some animal. At the same time, the white skeletons around him crackled and smashed into Zhang Qian's face, only to know that there were all skeletons inside.
Wei Qing told us that no matter what we hear, we must not look back, otherwise we will never be able to leave this desert again.
Zhang Qian ran wildly in the desert in the dark, unable to open his eyes due to the oncoming wind and sand, only feeling that the screams behind him were getting closer and closer, almost against his back. At this time, Luo Jia, who ran out together, couldn't hold back his fear anymore, and looked back without listening to the advice.
With just one glance, his posture of looking back froze there, never moving again. Zhang Qian stepped forward and touched it, he was already dead, and he was scared to death.
At this time, the strange sound behind him was getting closer and closer, Wei Qing shouted, Zhang Qian hurried away. Zhang Qian said that he couldn't leave Luo Jia here, even if he died, he had to be brought back. Staying here, he can only be a lonely ghost.
Zhang Qian picked up the stiff Luo Jia and left, I don't know how long he walked, and finally saw the magnificent scenery of the desert sunrise, and at this time he had no intention of appreciating it, Zhang Qian fell to the ground tired and couldn't get up again.
