Chapter 62: Zhuge Kongming?
Liu Bei and the others were on horseback, and soon caught up with the villagers in front.
Liu Bei hurriedly dismounted and stopped a villager who was behind.
"Uncle, I don't know why you're really in a hurry?" Liu Bei saw that the man was older, and called the old man.
The old man looked at Liu Bei and a few people, and saw that a few people came on horseback, and they were dressed extraordinarily, and Yu Ban and a few people were still wearing armor.
"Who are you? What are you doing here. The old man was the first to ask. But there was no hostility.
"I'm Pingyuan Ling Liu Bei, Liu Xuande. I came here to find Mr. Zhuge Kongming. Liu Bei saluted the old man and said with his fists clenched.
"Then you're late, Mr. Kong Ming is missing, it is said that he suddenly disappeared on this mountain, and we are going to Mr. Kong Ming's grass house now, because Mr. Kong Ming's grass house is on fire!" The old man was very anxious in his tone.
"If you're okay, I'll go first!!" After the old man finished speaking, he didn't care about Liu Bei and the others hurriedly ran over.
"Let's go!! Come on!! Liu Bei also hurriedly followed those villagers, and his face was forbidden to Zhao Yun.
Several people were riding horses, so the speed of running was relatively fast, except for the first few villagers who ran fast, only Liu Bei and Zhao Yun arrived.
As soon as he arrived at the bridge, Liu Bei saw the flames rushing to the sky, "Fight the fire!! Liu Bei hurriedly said to Zhao Yun. I ran down first, but fortunately it was winter, so the fire didn't ignite the forest next to it.
Because there was a river below, Liu Bei hurriedly looked for a few wooden barrels, and then began to fetch water and extinguish the fire. Liu Bei and Zhao Yun walked to the grass house to extinguish the fire, and they saw a scholar who was also fetching water to extinguish the fire.
However, the situation was anxious, and the scholar didn't have time to pay attention to Liu Bei and the others, nor did he say hello.
Soon all the villagers had arrived, and it was not long before the fire was extinguished.
The scholar thanked him one by one, and the villagers who received the thanks left.
There are only three left, Liu Bei and Zhao Yunyu.
"Thank you, thank you for saving our cottage!!" The scholar kowtowed to Liu Bei and the others.
"What's going on? And what happened when Mr. Kong Ming disappeared? Liu Bei looked at the grass house in front of him, the few beams left had not been burned, and he clearly knew just now that Zhuge Liang was missing!
This is completely different from what I know.
"This ...... Are you Liu Bei, Liu Xuande? The scholar asked suddenly.
"Exactly!" Liu Bei was shocked in his heart, this scholar must have never seen him, how could he know.
"Last time, my husband said that there was a person who would come to look for him, and that person was Liu Bei, who was already waiting here, but yesterday, Mr. Kong Ming had asked me to wait for him this morning, and he would come to explain things to me, but he hadn't come yet.
As for the rest, I don't know. ”
Liu Bei was puzzled, Zhuge Liang knew that he was coming, it was really nothing, but he asked the scholar to wait, but he didn't greet him, which was strange, and there was ......, "Then why did this grass house catch fire?" Liu Bei asked again.
"Because...... Because ...... "the scholar is stumbling."
"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Liu Bei didn't care.
"Because of my husband!" The boy shouted.
"Your husband? What do you mean? Liu Bei was still puzzled.
"It is said that there are spirits in this mountain, and those who have seen it with their own eyes, and who have seen it, if they are not crazy, then they are inexplicably ruined. And my husband said yesterday that he was going to meet these spirits in the mountains for a while, which is why he is like this......" The scholar suddenly cried:
"I have been admonishing my husband yesterday not to go into the mountains to look for the spirit, but he will not listen......... I really regret it, I should have gone with my husband. In this way, the husband will not be missing, and he may be more than lucky now. The boy squatted on the ground and began to weep, as if he regretted it.
Zhao Yun smiled: "Little brother, what kind of monsters are there in this world?" No matter how powerful things are, they are man-made. Zhao Yun comforted the man.
"In this way, you tell me, where is the spirit you said, and I will go and find Mr. Kong Ming back." Liu Bei gently patted the scholar on the shoulder.
"This ........." The scholar stopped his tears and looked at Liu Bei. It's true? ”
"Really......" Liu Bei nodded.
"Since you are Liu Bei, looking at you like this, you must be a general, you must be able to take a lot of soldiers to defeat that spirit and save my Mr. Kong Ming, right??" The scholar's eyes were full of longing.
"Just ......" Yu Ban was just about to speak, but Liu Bei stopped him.
"That's nature." Liu Bei gave up.
The scholar then told Liu Bei and a few people about the legends of the spirits in the mountains, "It is said that there have always been spirits in this mountain, they are trees and people, and the back of this mountain used to be a battlefield, because there were too many people who died, and the grievances were too heavy, the blood of those soldiers dripped into the woods, and those tree spirits received the wishes of the soldiers and became spirits."
It is said that those spirits can make wishes for others, but each wish costs lives, and if you strayed into the territory of the spirits, they will also be killed by the spirits. ”
"Hey...... There are no spirits in this world, at most your Mr. Kong Ming is lost. Zhao Yun was disdainful.
"You're really, but someone here has seen that spirit with their own eyes, how can you say no?" The scholar pointed at Zhao Yun and scolded.
Zhao Yun just wanted to refute, but Liu Bei raised his hand to stop him.
Seeing Liu Bei shaking his head, Zhao Yun stopped talking, and planned to listen to what the scholar said.
The scholar then drew a simple map of the route in the forest and gave it to Liu Bei and a few others.
Liu Bei took the map and saw a place marked by a red dot, which was just a red dot on the map, and it seemed to be in the deep mountains.
Liu Bei took it, then said goodbye to the scholar, and took Zhao Yun and Yu Ban into the mountains and forests.
Zhao Yun is not a loss, he can find the existence of the dragon soul, and he thinks a little more than Liu Bei and Yu Ban. I found some things to sleep on, as well as items to repel snakes, insects, rats and ants, before I followed Liu Bei away.
Come to the mountains and forests.
"It's really a deep mountain and old forest......"
Liu Bei looked at these big trees, and he didn't even get a place to get a road.
In addition to their own weapons, Zhao Yun and the others also wore a sword, which was to cut down those bushes that stood in the way, so that they could forcibly build a road.
"Someone !!" Suddenly, Zhao Yun's exclamation called Liu Bei and Yu Ban over at the same time.
"This can't be Mr. Zhuge Kongming......... Zhao Yun said with a little hesitation, pointing to the corpse.........
