Chapter 603: Yuxi Carpenter
Sometimes it is not necessary to be merciful to the wicked, but to make them fearful, knowing that there are more powerful people in the world than them, and to make them wary of doing evil. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Yanshi of the stone forest is also a group of guys dressed in moon white clothes and stepping on flying swords, these people are all from Qingcheng Mountain, Sichuan, Zhang Daoling entered Qingcheng Mountain in the early Han Dynasty to cultivate immortals, after a thousand years, left a large group of disciples and grandchildren, but these disciples and grandchildren were not able to become immortals, but with the ability to fly with the sword, they began to break into the rivers and lakes, but their head brother was beaten by Duan Yu of Dali State in the swallow dock outside Gusu City, and then these disciples and grandchildren scattered in a hurry, and there were people who fled everywhere.
However, these guys came to Dali to seek revenge on Duan Yu at the instigation of a leader, but they failed miserably again, so they had to accept Zhao'an, they had no face to stay in Dali, so they came to the Stone Forest.
Ah Zhi, who was cut off by the Yang Mandarin Duck, is a small leader, and he can be called a tyrant in the stone forest.
The big boss no one knew his name, and fled to Yuxi with Li Ruoshui and Gu Lichi, where was his lair.
As soon as they entered Yuxi, they felt that they had entered another world, which was different from the salty and humid smell of the Baisha Salt Pit, and different from the mountains and stones of the Stone Forest, there were mountains and rivers here, but the scenery was exceptionally beautiful, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants.
When they first arrived at Yuxi, it was dark, and they found a sheltered place from the wind, for fear of attracting the attention of the enemy, so they did not make a fire, but Lane ordered these chivalrous women to take turns to be on duty at night, and he himself meditated cross-legged, and used his original spirit to wander around to investigate.
He found that there were many spiders here, and they were large, and their backs were covered with spots, which showed that the poison was not small.
Han Hemiao and Xu Xiaoyu caught spiders and soaked wine while watching the night.
Ryan's mind wandered along the ancient path, and soon he saw a house at the bottom of the hillside, but the lights were still on in the middle of the night, and the sound of the husband and wife talking and the wooden shaft turning could be heard from the stone house.
Through the window, Ryan saw two carpenter couples in short clothes building some puppets, and couldn't help but be curious.
The man was in his early fifties, without a beard, with piercing eyes and sharp hands and feet, and was using adzes to build a horizontal axis, and his wife was using a chisel to cut holes in the wood.
There was a molded puppet on display in the room, and Ryan wondered what the couple was making for it.
The old woman said: "Boss, let's wait, the big boss didn't come back yesterday, but he didn't mention the matter of asking for goods, I asked him, but he had a straight face, like something happened, and it was a big deal!" ”
The old man said: "I can also see that the big boss with these subordinates looks hurried, as if he is running for his life!" ”
From the conversation between the two, Rien had already guessed that the "big boss" in their mouths should be the commander of the Yanshi, and it seemed that Ding Bolang did not lie to himself.
The old couple chatted about some trivial matters again, and then turned off the lights and rested, leaving only the puppet wooden man still shaking his head to himself.
After entering the jade stream and descending a mountain range, two paths appeared, one to the south and the other to the west, and Rien's divine sense did not go any deeper, but he had decided to stay where he was and wait for the two inspectors to come and meet.
Early the next morning, they used some dry food indiscriminately, and Lien asked Wang Junping and Xiao Xiaojie to go down the hillside to the carpenter's house to inquire about the situation, and Han Hemiao and Xu Xiaoyu were responsible for getting some food for dry food.
This time, I was in a hurry from Baisha Village, and I didn't bring dry food and water.
There were not many wild beasts in Yuxi, but there were many wild fruits, and the two beggars helped their disciples collect a large number of bananas and sugar cane as rations nearby.
At noon, the four heroines sent out by Rien all returned, and Xiao Xiaojie reported: "We have confirmed that the leader of the Yanshi has fled back here, but we have not seen any trace of Gu Lichi and Li Ruoshui, will they use the same trick as Elder Shui to lure us here, but he himself fled to Nanzhao or Erhai?" ”
Li En also had this concern, so he asked Ren Jianhua for advice, Lu Zhenqing was gone, and she was the only one with the most experience in the rivers and lakes.
Ren Jianhua said with certainty: "Li Ruoshui may flee to Nanzhao, but he will definitely not stay in Nanzhao, but flee to Miaojiang, if Li Ruoshui escapes to Miaojiang, Gu Lichi may also flee there, in order to rescue Gu Han!" ”
Rien was worried: "If the two of them really fled to Miaojiang, then they would be in danger!" ”
Ren Jianhua said: "The alliance leader doesn't have to worry, now Miao Jiang and Nanzhao have our companions, if they are in danger, Ah Hu and Yang Ming will definitely send someone to contact us!" ”
After they had used bananas and sugar cane, Feng Chendong led the Broken Wolf Clans to follow and join them.
Rien said: "After getting down this hillside, there will be two roads, one to the south and one to the west, but these two roads are connected, every morning in the east, you lead the heroine team to search due south, and let the seniors lead the wolf team to the west, if you meet the Yanshi, don't be in a hurry to do it, follow them secretly, find out the traces of Gu Lichi and Li Ruoshui, and then send someone back to report to me, I will stay here and wait for Yi Sanxi and them." ”
Feng Chendong received the order, and then asked, "Is it safe for you to stay here alone, Alliance Leader?" ”
Ren Jianhua also said: "Do you want to let Dong Jing or Xiao Jie stay to protect the alliance leader?" ”
Rien said: "No need, I am also an old man, even if I encounter a strong enemy, I will hide, but you have to be careful, remember that if you encounter this group of Yanshi, don't rush to do it first!" ”
As the two groups departed, Ryan picked up a stone, carved a mark on it, and went down the hill to the carpenter's house, which saw that he was a little puzzled, but invited him to his house for tea and rest.
Rien asked, "What are you doing with these wooden puppets?" ”
The old woman replied, "Sell it to the owner of the salt pit?" They use puppets to draw water and dig salt, saving labor! ”
Ryan nodded and said, "I see, I came from the salt pit, but the Yanshi and Gu Lichi there were wanted by the imperial court for selling illicit salt, and I heard that they fled here!" ”
After hearing this, the couple's faces changed, and the old man was worried: "Will the Baisha Salt Pit continue to work?" ”
Li En comforted them and said, "Of course, salt and iron are a national event, how could Emperor Duan abandon the salt pit?" As you continue to make wooden figurines, there will be people buying them from you, and there will be more of them than before! ”
The couple breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and Rien continued to ask, "Do you two have no children?" ”
This sentence was a bit abrupt, but the couple didn't mind, and the old carpenter said: "No, although my old woman is ingenious and beautiful, she just can't give birth, but it doesn't matter, our old couple has always taken this puppet wooden man as their son!" ”
Ryan looked at the wooden man, this puppet was made lifelike, round face and big eyes, short and fat, can grind its own flour, the old woman grabbed a handful of soaked rice and threw it into the stone mill, the wooden man's arm turned, driving the stone mill, and the rice flour flowed out.
It's amazing, it doesn't need wind power, it doesn't need running water to move on its own, Ryan asked, "What is this puppet powered by?" ”
The old carpenter said: "This wooden man is powered by a spring clockwork, and he has to tighten the spring for it every once in a while, while the big wooden man needs to use running water to follow the trend as a power." (To be continued.) )
