Chapter Eighty-Three: The Crane Song

"Seventeen ships...... Self-protection is enough, but it is still far from rampant in the sea. From tomorrow, ten more ships will be ordered to the Zhao family shipyard, and this time there is no need to rush work, and the regulations will refer to the last time. Tell Zhao Sanlang that the hull can only be reinforced with materials, leaving room for modification, and it is not allowed to sneak and slip in the invisible dark. After the boat is built, let Mr. Zu inspect it, and if there is any mistake, I want him to look good. ”

Dong Solstice sneered and said: "Xiao Lang rest assured, that Zhao Xin loves Xiao Lang's poems, even if he doesn't want the boat money, he will use the best wood, how can he offend Xiao Lang and have no way to ask for poetry in the future?" ”

Xu You also smiled, Zhao Xin is an authentic businessman, operating in the largest shipyard in Qiantang, but he likes to be vassally elegant, and has been begging to write poems to his shipyard.

"This time when the ship is delivered, if he still comes to ask for poetry, he should go down first, and then I will talk about it when I come back from Heming Mountain." Xu You thought for a while, and then said: "Selling the price of Yuanbai Paper and Youhe Paper minus twenty Wen to Luo Baiheng can be regarded as making up for his loss this time." ”

"Also, I announced to the public that I was going to write "Spring and Autumn Justice" and retreat for a year. It is not yet known how long it will take to get to Heming Mountain, but it is tentatively set for one year, and if I do not return, the retreat time can be postponed even later! ”

It was cold in late autumn, and he felt the chill when he sat in the house, Xu You wrapped his clothes, put his hands to his mouth and sighed, turned his head to look at the winter solstice, and said, "How is the arrangement over there in Heming Mountain?" ”

"Seven people have been sent to Linqiong County and five people have been sent to Chengdu County, all of whom are shrewd and capable dead soldiers, who can cooperate with any plans of Xiaolang in the two places, and respond to Xiaolang's safe evacuation in case of crisis."

Heming Mountain is in the territory of Linqiong County, and Chengdu County is the seat of Yizhou governance, separated by more than 200 miles. These two places are places where Xu You may have to stay for a long time, so from the winter solstice, he sent people to camp in advance and secretly cover the net in case of emergency.

"The people from Chengdu have withdrawn, and there are only three people left in Linqiong, I will find a reason to stay in Heming Mountain, and I will not really go to Yizhou to take up my post. This time, we tried our best to provoke Buddhism and Taoism, and it was our only chance to sneak into Heming Mountain, if we couldn't catch it...... I went to Chengdu and just sat back! ”

Dong Solstice hesitated: "Will one person be too little?" Heavenly Master Dao is not known for intelligence, and with our current strength, even if more than a dozen people are planted in Linqiong County, they will never be exposed. ”

Xu You smiled: "Could it be that you still want to use force with Sun Guan?" If the destiny is in me, I will steal the five runes in peace; If there is a bad pool, what role can those dozens of people in Linqiong County play? Only one person can be left to deliver the message, and the fewer people are more secretive, but in fact, it is safer. ”

Dong Solstice no longer insisted on his opinion, his eyes were red, and he said, "Xiaolang, you must take care of ......"

Xu You smiled slightly, pointed at He Wei, and said, "You ask Qiyi, how is my trip?" ”

Looking at the past with a blank look on the winter solstice, He Wei had a rare serious face, and said solemnly: "I divined the hexagram last night, and the earthquake under the kanxia was on the southwest, although there were twists and turns, but it could turn evil into good fortune." Shichiro, entering Heming Mountain, is like serving a tiger alone, be careful. If you really can't do anything, get out of it as soon as possible. The world is so big, there may not be only one way to live! ”

Zuo Yan said suddenly: "Otherwise, I will go to Yizhou with Lang Jun, there is really an accident, at least a little more vitality......

Xu You shook his head, stood up and stretched, and said: "This matter is no longer discussed, Fenghu, you are a junior grandmaster, the goal is too big, just stepped into Yizhou, I am afraid that it will alarm the Sili Mansion, and naturally I can't hide it from Sun Guan." Well, we've deduced it countless times, and as long as you are careful, you have a fifty percent chance of winning. Between life and death, the fifty percent chance of winning is enough to fight, don't worry too much! ”

He Wei laughed and said: "Yes, sneaking into Heming Mountain to steal the Five Runes under Sun Guan's nose sounds like the babbling and jokes of madmen, but Qilang only took less than a year to become the sacrificial wine of Yizhouzhi, what else in the world can stump him?" ”

Xu You rolled his eyes and said, "This sacrificial wine is just a puppet, it sounds good, but in fact, it hasn't been a righteous ruler in Yangzhou." Sun Guan transferred me all the way to Yizhou, just to facilitate control and drive, have you ever seen the sacrificial wine available to none of your subordinates? ”

This plan has been decided, Xu You left Tianqingfang from the secret door, and said goodbye to Sha Sanqing and his wife in the evening. The next morning, he returned to Linwu Mountain, and after meeting Yuan Qingqi, Shang Er and Bai Yi led fifty brave troops to escort him along the Yangtze River waterway to Yizhou. Bumpy and tiring for more than a month, many times encountered turbulent waters and bad weather on the way, especially the Shu road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, whether it is land or waterway are extremely steep, fortunately, Shang Er and others have been going back and forth between Yizhou and Yangzhou for many years, with rich experience, all the way to Linqiong County.

After a short rest, Shang Er handed over to the Daoist of Heming Mountain, who had been waiting in the county seat for a long time, and after confirming each other's identities, her escort mission was completed. He always listened to Xu You's teachings, from astronomy, down to geography, anecdotes, and ways and means of doing things, and learned a lot of knowledge that he had never heard of.

Heming Mountain is about more than 20 miles northwest of Linqiong County, belongs to the Minshan mountain system, and the peaks are endless. The mountain is majestic and strange, the forest is lush and deep, surrounded by double streams, the shape is like the standing crane that spreads its wings and wants to fly, the pine and cypress become a forest along the way, the verdant wants to drop, the mountain stream flows, there is a sound, the mortal comes here, and suddenly asks for the immortal to ask for the ambition.

Compared with the Linwu Mountain in Yangzhou, the mountains in Shu are higher, more dangerous, more beautiful and stranger, and they are also closer to the nine clouds where the immortals live!

This is the ancestral court of the world's Daomen, and it is the blessed land of Laojun Enlightenment and Zhang Ling's creation, Xu You stood at the foot of the mountain, squinted slightly, looked up, Heming Mountain, he finally came!

"Please see the sacrificial wine, standing here and watching, the red rock mountain is the screen of the crane tail, and the crown mountain under it, the yin rock obstructs the sun, and the forest qi obstructs the sky, which is the tail of the crane. Slightly named Daping Mountain, the top of the mountain is flat, and it is the back of the crane. Is it vivid and interesting? ”

This official is over 30 years old, but his mouth is particularly broken, and he enthusiastically introduces the customs and customs of Yizhou to Xu You, and when he reaches the halfway up the mountain, he is very close to exaggerating when he introduces Heming Mountain, and it seems that only this mountain is the most famous in the sky and on the ground. Xu You wants to find the Five Runes in Heming Mountain, and it is necessary to have good popularity. , he is the honor of sacrificial wine, and he deliberately put down his body to show goodwill, and after a while, he was very familiar.

The Taoist official's name is Ban Yuxing, and he is the five hundred generals of Yangpingzhi, such a position is already a figure in other Zhizhi, but in Heming Mountain, he can only do some work to usher in. As he spoke, he heard a burst of thunder, turned the corner of the mountain, and suddenly opened up in front of him, two mountain streams flew down from the cliff and rock walls on the east and west sides, and converged in front of the valley, and the turbulent water slapped against a red boulder with a thousand momentum, and the splash of water was several zhang away, blowing with the mountain wind, like a daytime downpour.

"This is the most famous scenery of Heming Mountain: 'Crane Handanshu'. Beware of the slippery road for sacrificial wine, the bluestone slabs have been soaked in water for many years, and many Taoist people who come to worship have fallen and injured here. However, everyone was very happy, saying that it was the first knock into the mountain, so as not to be disrespectful to the Heavenly Master and the Daojun! ”

After saying that he was courteous and wanted to come to help, Xu You smiled and said: "It's okay, although I don't know martial arts, I'm not a weak ......" Before the words fell, a roar suddenly sounded in the air: "Who is coming?" ”

If ordinary people are suddenly frightened by this, they will definitely stumble and fall. But Xu Youcheng's mansion is so deep, his qi cultivation is not under the little grandmaster, his body and mind are shaking, his ears are ringing and his eyes are black, but his feet are like nails, and he stands still.

Ban Yuxing looked embarrassed and said in a low voice: "This is Han Yuanzhong, the Taoist official of Sanguan Temple, and he is also a disciple of Han Da Sacrificial Wine. ”

Xu You immediately understood, the seven major sacrificial wines of Heming Mountain, oh no, now it should be said that the eight major sacrificial wines are Fan Changyi, Bai Changjue, Yin Changsheng, Zhang Changye, Li Changfeng, Han Changce, Wei Chang'an and Ning Changyi. Ning Changyi is played by Yuan Qingqi, Xu You knows, Li Changfeng has treated him and seen him, but the other six have only heard of his name and have never met.

Han Changce......

Is this a dismount?

Xu You didn't think that Sun Guan would use such a method, and only Han Changce, the youngest and most vigorous in the Great Sacrifice Wine, would be so unreasonable.

After the book of Hehan Dan, you will arrive at the first Taoist temple after entering the mountain, which is the temple of the three officials of the heavenly official, the earth official and the water official, the mountain gate, the drum tower, the matching hall, all available, the momentum is magnificent.

A man walked out behind the mountain gate, eight feet long, as strong as a mountain, and had to fight with the sky. Ban Yuxing stepped forward quickly, and Shi Li said: "Han Lingguan, this is the new Yizhou Zhi Sacrificial Wine, I am ordered by Fan Da Sacrificial Wine to take him up the mountain to meet the Heavenly Master." ”

"You're Lintong?" Han Yuanzhong staggered, his whole body was full of wine, he glanced at Xu You, and said: "I heard that Lin Sacrifice Wine is from the birth of the Zhengzhi and Zhengzhi, from the Zhengzhi and the sacrifice of wine, the promotion is so fast, I have not seen it in a hundred years, I must be invincible in martial arts, do you dare to compete with me?" ”

Ban Yuxing smiled and said, "Spirit Officer, the Heavenly Master is still waiting to see Lin Sacrifice Wine, if you want to compete, can you delay it for a few days?" ”

"The competition will not take a few breaths, you are less noisy, stand by the side, otherwise you will be beaten together!"

Ban Yuxing was still about to plead, Xu You pulled him behind him and said coldly: "Han Yuanzhong, you are so bold!" I am Yizhou to treat sacrificial wine, you are just a little spirit official, you dare to commit a crime, are you not afraid that I will tell the heavenly master and be punished by the Tao? ”

The corners of Han Yuanzhong's lips overflowed with a trace of disdain, and he snorted coldly: "I ask you for martial arts, and I can't count it as a crime." Lin Saijiu, aren't you an unweaned child, who has been bullied and wants to confide in your parents? Oh, I forgot, both of your parents died in the water of the White Thieves' Rebellion, and you can't find a place to cry even if you want to! ”

Ban Yuxing's face changed greatly.

humiliated his parents, or both died tragically in the war, undoubtedly forming an inextricable mortal enemy. What medicine did Han Yuanzhong take wrong, and why did he offend Lin Tong so ruthlessly?

Ban Yuxing couldn't figure it out, but he was loyal by nature, and he couldn't see the two of them clashing, so he rushed to the front from the rear and said sharply: "Han Lingguan, Lin Xijiu is a great sage specially invited by the Heavenly Master, how much wine have you drunk, dare to be so presumptuous?" Why don't you go back to the temple to sober up, and don't make trouble again! ”

Han Yuanzhong was so angry, naturally he had his reasons, because just before Xu You, the position of Yizhou to treat the sacrificial wine had been vacant for half a year, and the previous sacrificial wine died of a sudden serious illness, and who would take over caused a huge controversy in Heming Mountain.

In fact, Sun Guan has not personally dealt with these trivial teaching affairs for five years, and most of them are in charge of the daily management of the Heavenly Master Dao by Fan Changyi.

But the state is different, after all.

Yangzhou Zhi sacrificial wine Ning Changyi is Sun Guan's decision to break the practice of the past five years, and the Qiangang arbitrarily designated the candidate for sacrificial wine, no one dares to question it, and no one dares to make a stumbling block.

Yangpingzhi sacrificial wine has always been led by the heavenly master, and naturally no one dares to covet and beak it. As a result, Yizhou Zhi has become the only remaining fragrant gluttony in Shangsanzhi that can cultivate power, reward his subordinates, and show his prestige.

The seven great sacrificial wines, except for Li Changfeng, who has practiced in retreat, Bai Changjue, who does not ask about the world, and Wei Chang'an, who has not seen the end of the dragon, the rest such as Yin Changsheng, Zhang Changye, and Han Changce, are all staring at the position of this sacrificial wine.

Fan Changyi is not Sun Guan, he is ranked first among the seven great sacrificial wines, and he also has the right to kill and take it, but he still doesn't dare and can't be arbitrary, balance and compromise are still the only way for him to control the Heavenly Master's Dao!

This time, after countless transactions behind the scenes, he threw this piece of fragrant dumpling to Han Changce. The reason is very simple, Yin Changsheng and Zhang Changye are both stronger than Han Changce!

Han Changce got a definite answer from Fan Changyi, and immediately told the news to Han Yuanzhong, who was looking forward to wearing it. In order to wait for this day, Han Yuanzhong paid too much.

But no one expected that when Fan Changyi was about to hand over the list of Han Yuanzhong to take over the Yizhou Governing Sacrificial Wine, Sun Guan unexpectedly issued an edict again and beckoned to Lin Tong, who was far away in Yangzhou.

Han Yuanzhong's hatred in his heart can be imagined, he has been drinking day and night in the past few days, I don't know how many times he has scolded in secret, and the anger in his stomach has reached the point where it will explode if he doesn't vent.

Therefore, when he saw Xu You, the Heavenly Master and the Dao Ring were all left behind, and their scarlet eyes were like hungry beasts!

Devour, everything!
