Chapter 137: Wind and Sand Shadow
It is said that the day of March is the face of the child, and it is said that it will change, when they just went out of the city, the weather was still good, the scenery was beautiful along the way, they rode horses and galloped, very chic and freehand. And just this time, they tasted the dry weather here.
Everyone's face and head were covered with wind and sand, and the originally beautiful scenery suddenly became foggy. The neat and uniform team also became uneven because of the sudden wind and sand.
"Brother, what's going on here? Didn't we follow the map? ”
Seeing Feng Lingyang coming over on horseback, Lingxi stood still and asked loudly.
Feng Lingyang's face was slightly heavy, but even the yellow sand in the sky couldn't hide the heroic vigor on his face.
"Sister, why don't you come and take a look at this first?"
Lingxi knew that his brother had always been cautious, and at this time, they encountered difficulties in the process of marching, and they would definitely not be without a place. So he took the things in his brother's hand.
The parchment was soft to the touch, even a little heavy. With a hint of curiosity, Lingxi slowly opened it. I saw that this parchment was made of black carbon black, and a series of beautiful landscape paintings were drawn.
Lingxi glanced at these paintings, and from her previous experience, she could see that these paintings were not just simple landscape paintings.
"This is the map of Feng Nuanguo?"
Feng Lingyang stood on a slightly higher hillside at this time, looking up into the distance, his gaze was far-reaching. Seeing Lingxi ask, he nodded vigorously and said in a deep voice: "This Lingyun is not a simple little person, he has far-reaching vision, and he is rich in learning. It's just"
omitted the latter words, and Lingxi immediately made up for it. "You think he's suspicious?"
Lingxi's eyes were shining, and she was a little confused about this Ling Yun.
"It's not clear yet. Let's take a look at what you're holding, right? ”
Without speaking, Lingxi carefully observed the parchment in his hand, and realized that this was not just a simple map, but a very, very complete, and even a very perfect map.
On the surface, the map is a landscape painting, and the route maps are divided into several colors, and each color represents a very detailed description of the route. Meticulously depict a map of Feng Nuanguo. But the picture depicted on the map is very clear, where is the flat hilly terrain. There are lakes, there are mountains, what routes are near those places, and where each road leads, there are detailed notes. It's even more detailed down to each mountain range. And where the mountains and mountains have those paths and where they can lead. are all introduced in detail.
And these circuit diagrams are divided into several colors. What the route represents in each color is explained in great detail.
In some densely populated towns, the presentation is more detailed. The size of the area of each region, the distribution of the population, the poor area, the rich area. There are even local forces that play a dominant role, and their strengths and weaknesses are described in detail.
Even the activities of some of the main characters here are usually recorded.
Lingxi couldn't help but be amazed. What is written on this parchment is simply too precious, too detailed, and can catch up with modern navigators, but this is more humane and detailed than navigators.
What's even more amazing is that here is not only a very complete map of Feng Nuan Kingdom, but also a detailed map of Feng Nuan Country and several surrounding small vassal states, which are also introduced.
Presumably, if anyone has this detailed map in their hands, with it, even if they haven't personally traveled to other places, they don't have to worry about anything with this map. This thick parchment has many pages, like a thick diary of a visitor.
What are the customs and customs of each place, there are taverns, there are kilns there, and the gate of the official mansion opens to there, and there is a detailed introduction.
In Lingxi's phoenix space, if she asked Xiaobai for help, she might be able to figure out the general terrain and route of these areas, but if she wanted to be so detailed, she couldn't do two-thirds of it.
After a cursory reading of the records on the entire parchment, Lingxi couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "This thing is from him?" He's just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old hairy kid, how could there be such a thing? ”
"He said that it was handed down from their ancestors, and that it had been the work of several people in their family from his brother's hands to him." Lingxi looked through it and found that there were indeed several different notes from several people on the parchment. And judging from the dryness of some of the pen and ink and the color of the handwriting, it was not written at the same time.
"Since it was handed down from his ancestors, why did he give it so easily to us? We've only just met him, do you think he's such a sloppy person? Lingxi couldn't help but ask the question in his heart.
"It's really a problem. However, from the fact that he said that it was only a part of the parchment in his hand, there are more detailed ones. After Feng Lingyang finished speaking, he looked at Lingxi and fell into a deep thought.
After half a ring, Lingxi said, "Let him come over, I want to ask him properly." ”
Feng Lingyang nodded and said, "If he can take us to the Southern Clan smoothly and meet with Daddy, without playing tricks in the middle, I think this person can still be trusted." But I don't know what he did it for. Could it be that there is someone behind him who is directing or plotting against us? ”
Seeing that the more his brother spoke, the more complicated it became, Lingxi smiled: "Let's take one step at a time, I don't believe it, we can still be tricked by a little kid." ”
Amused by Lingxi's words, Feng Lingyang couldn't help but look at Lingxi and smiled: "You yourself are a little hairy child, and what about others?" You're right, if you come, you will be safe, we are not afraid of the vicious Nan clan, and we are not afraid of some clowns who jump off the beam. ”
The spirit rhino settled most of them in a leafy wood, which was sheltered by trees, and the wind and sand were indeed much smaller. And the town of Jinhua, which is so far away from them, is still hazy, far and near.
"Hello General Feng!" It was the first time for Ling Yun to have such a close contact with such a beautiful woman. The white face couldn't help but flush a hint of red, and his expression also looked a little nervous.
Although Lingxi is not a real woman in a sense, she is still a little girl who has not grown up. But she is beautiful, which has made ordinary young men blush.
"Sit down here, right? Let's talk for a while. ”
Lingxi sat on the ground very casually, it didn't seem to be the slightest bit of a female general's shelf, Ling Yun's original nervous mood was only slightly better, and when he saw Lingxi motioning for him to sit down, he sat down some distance from her.
"Yes, okay, thank you!" It was the first time to be respected by such a distinguished person. Ling Yun's words couldn't help but become polite.
Lingxi couldn't help but laugh when he saw his face tense and a serious look.
Ling Yun saw that Lingxi looked very good when he laughed, so he couldn't help but smile, and laughed after half a sound.
There was not much difference in age between them. This smile turned out to be between the two. There was originally a layer of estrangement. It has been diluted a lot.
Lingxi raised the parchment in his hand, have you been to all these places?
Ling Yun shook his head and said with a smile: "I have only started to read and write since I was five years old, how can I have so much free time to go to the mountains and rivers. There are many places here that my ancestors visited, and then I wrote them down little by little. My two older brothers made some changes to it."
Lingxi was thoughtful. He nodded and said, "It's already remarkable to be able to make this map so detailed." I admire their high style and brightness, which bring some benefits to future generations. ”
There was a wry smile on Ling Yun's lips, and a contemplative look appeared on his face.
I don't know what that sentence touched Ling Yun's sadness. Lingxi looked a little embarrassed, and the conversation between the two suddenly became cold.
"You know what we're going to do next, right? The situation we are encountering now is not the shadow of the wind and sand that people often say is thousands of miles of wind and sand, and there is no escape? Lingxi took the lead in breaking the embarrassment between the two and took the initiative to ask.
Seeing that the gentleness in Lingxi's eyes was hidden, it was replaced by the ability and sharpness of a female general, staring at his face tightly. As if he had the ability to see everything, Ling Yun couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and nodded honestly.
Then he said: "Fengsha shadow is a very rare weather condition, and when it is severe, it can produce powerful wind and sand, which can fascinate people's eyes and make people unable to see the situation in front of them, so as to achieve the effect of confusing the enemy. However, the specific cause of this is difficult to predict. ”
"I remember the route we walked on, it seems that we didn't have the conditions to reach this wind and sand shadow, but why did we still walk here unconsciously?" After Lingxi finished speaking, he tilted his head and observed Ling Yun's expression.
Ling Yun didn't dare to look at Lingxi's burning gaze, and hurriedly said: "Yes, it's very strange, but this wind and sand shadow, like a woman's heart, is fickle, and I don't know why this is happening." ”
"Yes, the weather is fickle, but if we master its laws, we can easily defeat it. On the contrary, it is the human heart, which people can't see through and touch. After speaking, Lingxi paused and continued: "I remember that yesterday you seemed to say that you would be our guide, if I formally invite you to be our guide now, would you be willing?" If you have any requirements, just say it, and if I am within my ability, I will definitely help you realize your wishes. ”
Ling Yun smiled faintly, the shyness on his face had subsided a lot, and he had regained the look of Lingxi when he first saw him. The arrogant look between his eyebrows returned to his past, and he actually looked much more handsome. "General Feng is polite, I'm just interested. I admire you as a person, so it's only natural that I do my best to contribute to you. ”
Seeing that he insisted on refusing to say his purpose, and his words were always ambiguous, Lingxi could only choose to cooperate with him temporarily.
"Thank you, if you can take us out of here smoothly, if you have any requirements in the future, you can mention it to me."
"Okay, General Feng's kindness, I understand it. Now I'll tell you in detail how to get out of the wind and sand! After Ling Yun finished speaking, he took the parchment in Lingxi's hand, turned a few pages, and spread it on the ground. (To be continued......)
