Chapter 497: Daylight Announcement
There is only one word difference between calling the city and calling the array, but it is the meaning of cloud and mud. Fu Xi didn't dare to disobey, so he could only hold his fists and take his life. Although his face is as usual, his heart is already thundering and thunder, and he doesn't know what will happen tomorrow.
Along the way, Zhou Dewei didn't say anything else, but Fu Xi was preoccupied and a little hesitant. But he didn't follow the official road all the way, but chose the small road, which seems to have the meaning of eunuchs. The short young man was still riding his horse in front, probing and reporting from time to time, and Fu Xi became more and more sure that Zhou Dewei knew the stakes and intended to go to Hezhong Mansion to play an official trick by the way.
was also worried about Fu Xi, as well as the other three captains. Although these three people went out with the army, they each had their own ghosts. At that time, the unknown town made a move, but it was to hide people's eyes. At this time, if you go to Hezhong Mansion, I am afraid that you will show your feet. They had been in contact with the garrison early on, and they had two hands on their minds.
If the army takes Longshou County effortlessly, everyone will naturally be happy. But if not, there is still a way out. But once he arrived in Hezhong Mansion and was seen as flawed, it was hard to guarantee that he would not lose his head like that group of homeless people.
The three of them had different thoughts, but they didn't know what they thought of each other, and their faces sank like water, and they followed behind Zhou Dewei. Zhou Dewei looked young, but he was already over the age of standing and had experienced a hundred battles. I also guessed two or three of the abacus in the hearts of the few people behind me. But the people have been killed and sacrificed to the flag, and they can't make any more big moves. This journey can be regarded as calm.
…………
However, it was said that after Gu Xing and the three of them buried the dust monk, they rushed to Longshou County non-stop. They did not know that the advance army had already taken the route to Hezhongfu, but they had taken the lead. Along the way, the three of them did not dare to take the official road, for fear of encountering the army in front and causing trouble again. Although the trail detours for dozens of miles, it is better than the high mountains and dense forests, and it is also easy to hide.
This is a mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles behind Longshou County, so Zhou Dewei can sigh before, "Easy to defend and difficult to attack." "The elite of Longshou County still exists, but it has already come out of two or three, if it can't block the first three rounds of attacks, the follow-up will be very difficult.
But if it can be delayed, with the grain stored in Longshou County, it is still more than enough to keep it for three and a half years.
Gu Xing and the three of them traveled dozens of miles northwest of an unknown small city, all of which were desolate. For some reason, the three of them felt more and more cold during their journey, only to find that the frost had fallen from the sky, and it was actually early winter. Chen Fusheng raised his hand and calculated, it was expected that today would be the "beginning of winter", and the three of them were all emotional, running for their lives all the way, but they didn't know the day.
At this time, it was still early, but the cold wind suddenly rose, and I didn't dare to stay for long. The three of them found a path for the woodcutter to go up the mountain, climbed the steps, and completely disappeared from the trace. Entering the mountains and mountains, Gu Xing and the three of them felt a little at ease. He found a place in the dry grass and sat down. But the three of them had no food to eat, let alone water to quench their thirst, so they had no choice but to get up again, hoping to hit their luck and catch some game.
After walking for more than an hour, the three of them were already hungry and cold. Gu Xing and Chen Fusheng were still able to use their internal strength to resist cold and hunger. But Tong Hatzhu was already dizzy from hunger, his hands and feet were cold, and he was shaky.
Gu Xing picked him up, Tong Hatzhu's eyes were blurred, and he didn't know when he had a high fever. Gu Xing raised his hand to cover his forehead and frowned. Tong hated bamboo's disease, which is tantamount to adding insult to injury. The two had to find a water source first and practice healing.
After about half an hour, the path of the woodcutter under his feet was blurred and invisible. In addition, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and snakes, insects, rats and ants are endless, and the speed of the three of them has slowed down a little.
Just when Gu Xing and Chen Fusheng were hesitating, they suddenly saw a family in front of them, but the mountains were shrouded in clouds and mist, and it was not real. But there is no other way but to give it a try. If there is no one here, it can also shelter and block the sudden cold.
Chen Fusheng stepped forward a few steps, pushed the weeds away, and turned around to beckon Gu Xing to follow. Gu Xingshun forced Chen Fusheng's footprints, and saw that the snakes and insects in the grass were nowhere to be seen, and he didn't feel a little more attentive. The two of them ran one after the other, but they didn't expect that this seemingly short distance of dozens of zhang could walk for so long.
It's just that the two of them can't tolerate suspicion at this time, Chen Fusheng took the lead in knocking on the door of the courtyard, waiting for the master here to respond. But the two of them stopped for a long time, but they didn't see the sound of footsteps. When Chen Fusheng was about to raise his hand and knock again, the courtyard door opened with a "creak", and an old woman with a stiff figure and a pale face stood inside the door, vigilantly looking at the "uninvited guests" outside the door.
Chen Fusheng saw that someone answered the door, and hurriedly raised his hand to salute, "This mother-in-law, I waited for the barren mountain to get lost and strayed here, I don't know if I can spend the night and ask for some food." ”
The mother-in-law put her hand on the doorframe, and did not invite the three of them in, nor did she move her footsteps. It's just that after a stalemate like this for a long time, a leisurely voice came from inside the door, crisp and pleasant, "Long Po, let them in." ”
The pale-faced mother-in-law quickly dodged and replied, "Yes, miss." ”
Gu Xing and Chen Fusheng were both taken aback, it was strange that there was such a place in this barren mountain and wild mountain, and someone who came could reach out and reach out like this, presumably this place was definitely not a good place. But at the moment, the three of them have nowhere to go, if they can't treat Tong Hatzhu in time, I'm afraid that there will be more than one luck.
Chen Fusheng walked in first, and Gu Xing followed with Tong Hatzhu in his arms. When the two of them walked past the mother-in-law, they both felt a piercing coldness, and muttered in their hearts.
When the two stepped into the courtyard, they were stunned by the scene in front of them. The dilapidated exterior walls I saw just now covered the flowers of the inner courtyard tightly. The two of them were surprised, and suddenly felt a little warmer, as if this was a paradise and incompatible with the outside world.
The mother-in-law saw that the two of them were a little stunned, and hurriedly reminded her, "The three of you, please ...... here" After speaking, she strode forward, and did not have the sense of decadence of the old man.
Chen Fusheng and Gu Xing hurriedly followed, and when they walked up the steps, they saw a winding old pine, its trunk spiraling upward, and the needles were luxuriant, which was in line with the climate at this time. There is a lamp pole on the opposite side of the old pine, and instead of hanging a lantern, a wooden sign is hung on it.
The wooden sign swayed in the wind, and the two looked at it casually, but it was not real. However, Chen Fusheng's eyes were quick, and when he was approaching, he suddenly reached out to support him, and saw clearly the three small seals of "Leaving the Human Habit", and he was even more confused.
The pale mother-in-law did not stop urging, but walked unhurriedly, keeping a distance from the three of them, and guiding Gu Xing and the others forward. Walking through the entrance of the trail, you will see a lot of prosperity in front of you. The wonder of the daytime lantern can be seen here.
This "daylight proclamation" is a palace wonder. However, it is said that in the first year of Tianbao, the court chose the name of the concubine to move the world, and the beauties from all parties came to the court. For a time, Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty was crowded, and there were countless people in all kinds of clothes. On the day of the election, the sky was not beautiful, and the torrential rain soaked those show girls.
But because he was in the palace, he didn't dare to move easily, so he could only let the heavy rain pour, but he didn't dare to make the slightest move. The eunuchs who chose the concubines did not receive the holy will to reschedule, so they could only introduce these soaked show girls into the palace, but they found that they were all disheveled and smiling generously.
Inevitably, Tang Xuanzong blamed, and the palm print eunuch ordered the lantern to be baked here, and the appearance was sorted out on the spot, so that there was this "allusion". It's just that later generations gradually degraded this extravagance, until the late Tang Dynasty no one mentioned it. However, there are still storytellers in the market who quote scriptures, and every time they are applauded.
Gu Xing naturally didn't know what the allusion was, but Chen Fusheng knew it clearly. It's just all kinds of visions that come on foot at this step, and I don't know what awaits them.
Walking through the wonder of this "daytime lantern", the eyes suddenly opened up. I don't know if I am already in the belly of the mountain, or on the top of the mountain, as far as the eye can see, it is all pine and bamboo, and there is no one else. The pale-faced mother-in-law still walked among the pine and bamboo, without the slightest stop, and it seemed that there was still a long way to go.
But when Gu Xing and Chen Fusheng stepped into the threshold just now, they clearly heard the voice of the "young lady", why did they not see it after walking for so long.
The mother-in-law, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and looked at the two of them, "Miss remembered that you were tired of driving and horses, and asked the old man to take you to the guest room to rest first." After the little girl has been healed, I will take you to the meeting. ”
Chen Fusheng and Gu Xing glanced at each other, and they both saw a hint of vigilance in each other's eyes. But Chen Fusheng was not an ordinary person after all, so he hurriedly clasped his fists and said loudly: "Please thank my mother-in-law for me, thank you for the master here, and go to visit later." ”
The pale mother-in-law nodded, turned and continued walking. Chen Fusheng leaned over to Gu Xing's side and said softly: "The five elements gossip here is secretly combined, and you need to be careful." ”
Gu Xing nodded, then slowed down his pace, deliberately keeping a distance from his mother-in-law in front of him. And so he walked a little further, and saw another house, unsheltered, standing alone on the top of the mountain. The pale-faced mother-in-law raised her hand and pointed afar, "You guys go over by yourself, and you'll come here to pick you up later." ”
The two visited again, and the pale mother-in-law immediately turned around and left quickly. The two didn't dare to delay in the slightest, and quickly stepped forward and pushed the door in. Gu Xing put Tong Hatzhu on the couch in the room, took out the cold jade golden needle from his arms, and began to treat the disease.
Chen Fusheng walked back and forth in the room several times, and was amazed, "Wake up, do you know that this is the pre-Tang Dynasty system, and it has been more than 100 years since today. ”
"That means that we have strayed into the Peach Blossom Spring, and I don't know Wei Jin?" Gu Xing pricked the third and cold jade golden needles, and only after turning around did he raise his head and look at Chen Fusheng suspiciously.
"I don't dare to say it at this time, but this place is so weird, I don't think it's a safe place. If the master here is not embarrassed and waits, it is better to pretend not to know. Chen Fusheng touched his nose and said softly.
"What if it's difficult?" Gu Xing still asked with some unease.
"If it's difficult, then you can only take one step at a time." Hearing what Chen Fusheng said, Gu Xing looked back at Tong Hate Zhu on the bed, and unconsciously felt uneasy in his heart......
