Chapter 134: Meeting on a Narrow Road (continued)
To the east of Huayin, more than ten people on the official road are galloping horses, they are moving forward from east to west, the first one is about seventeen or eighteen years old, it is Liu Wenjing who met the "Hundred Ghosts Night Walk" a few days ago. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
That frightening night, Liu Wenjing was held hostage by the guy who called himself "Yu Wenwen", and was tied to the pillar of the post station hall with his entourage.
Liu Wenjing and others were tied up and stayed up all night, and were rescued by the Sui army who came to investigate on the morning of the second day.
Later, it was learned that the Zhou army attacked Guangtong Warehouse that night, and a fire burned the granary to the ground, seeing that the war had spread to the vicinity of Weikou, Liu Wenjing, who was originally going to rush home, could only stay at the post station.
It is impossible to return to Luozhou, the Tongguan garrison is like a great enemy, and it is not easy to let one person pass, even if Liu Wenjing has the credentials to prove his identity, the other party is afraid that someone will act as the Zhou army to seize the pass.
Liu Wenjing, who was in a dilemma, lived in the post station for a few days, and later saw that the situation was not good, for fear that Zhou Jun would mix in with the people staying in the hotel, so he simply issued an order to evict guests.
Liu Wenjing, who had no place to stay, could only bite the bullet on the road, and it was rumored that Li Hun was ambushed and killed in Tongzhou, thinking that the Zhou army was active in the same state, and there was definitely no way to go north of Weishui.
His family in Yongzhou Fufeng County martial arts is located in the northwest of Chang'an, because Chang'an was captured by the Zhou army, the family went to Jingzhou to escape the war, Liu Wenjing originally set off from Luozhou to Jingzhou to fight with his family, and now the itinerary is all disrupted.
The original route could not be taken, he could cross the Yellow River to the north and enter the east of the river to join relatives and friends, but if he could not enter Tongguan, he could not cross the river from Jinkou, and the official army in order to prevent the Zhou army from seizing the boat, had moved all the boats along the coast to Fenglingjin on the north bank of the Yellow River, and did not even think about crossing the river in private.
Risking Guangtong Cang to cross Weishui to Pujin, it was easy to meet the Zhou army, Liu Wenjing always felt that Yuwenwen was mysterious, in case of a "surprise attack" on Pujin, he was likely to be involved in the war, which was too dangerous.
It's not safe to go, it's best to stay somewhere and watch what happens, but Liu Wenjing can't find a place to stay.
The other post stations along the official road were no longer open to outsiders, unless they were messengers from the government or the army, and Liu Wenjing and his entourage wanted to stay in the surrounding villages, but they were all refused.
After sleeping in the field for two nights, all of them were blown by the night wind, and if they continued like this, they would get sick sooner or later, and after weighing the pros and cons, Liu Wenjing simply led his entourage to Huayin, Huazhou.
He didn't want to live in Huayin City, because it was too dangerous.
The Zhou army occupied Guanzhong, and the Sui army then approached the city, and it was not known who won or lost in the battle between the two sides, but the Zhou army of the "Hundred Ghosts Night Walk" burned the Guangtong warehouse, and the discerning person could see that the situation of the Sui army in Guanzhong was not good.
If the food crisis cannot be alleviated, the Sui army will inevitably retreat, and the tug-of-war between the two sides in Guanzhong will become protracted, then the city will become the focus of contention between the two sides, and Liu Wenjing feels that only fools will take refuge in the city at this time.
Small chaos to hide in the city, big chaos to avoid the township, on the occasion of the national war, siege warfare is commonplace, the defenders requisition the people in the city to go to the city to assist in the defense of the city is a matter of course, Liu Wenjing does not want to be conscripted to be sent to death in vain.
Even if you dodge this level, there is still a level that you can't dodge, that is, food, this year the siege of the city is half a year or even a year, the defenders are okay to say, the people have suffered, and when the food stock is exhausted, it is not surprising that they will starve to death.
Of course, it's okay to eat human flesh, but Liu Wenjing doesn't want to fall into that kind of fate, the reason why he went to Huayin is because there is a good place in the Huayin realm.
Near Huayin, there is a building on the south side of the official road, which does not look like the courtyard of a powerful family, nor is it a powerful dock fort, the building is surrounded by green trees, and it seems that it is not so much a courtyard as a temple.
This is the temple, the famous Xiyue Temple, a temple that worships the god of Xiyue Huashan for the emperors of the past dynasties.
The south of the mountain and the north of the water are for the yang, the so-called Huayin, this city is located in the north of Huashan, the Western Han Dynasty is to worship the god of Huashan (Huayue God), the imperial court built the spiritual palace in the Huayin territory, but it is too close to the mountain, the road is difficult to travel, and it is inconvenient for the emperor to lead the ministers to worship.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the place moved to the present place was renamed Xiyue Temple, which is located near the official road from Chang'an to Luoyang, which is the building in front of Liu Wenjian.
Liu Wenjing had been to Xiyue Temple, and Miaozhu had some friendship with his father, so he planned to stay here for a while, and then make plans after the situation was clear.
A group of people left the official road along the road to Xiyue Temple to advance, there are many pine trees planted on both sides of the road, lush, this is the Zhou Taizu Yuwentai people planted in that year, about more than 2,000 trees.
After the Yongjia Rebellion, the Xiyue Temple went through war, and the Xiyue Temple that had been dilapidated was rebuilt in the Yuan Wei Dynasty, and the Xiyue Temple had to be repaired several times during the Western Wei Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty, so that it had the current appearance.
This is all due to the manifestation of the god Huayue.
Zhou State Baoding three years of Guanzhong drought, Zhou Emperor Yuwen Yong ordered Taibao Da Xiwu to worship Huayue God, because the temple is at the foot of the mountain, Da Xiwu felt that the sincerity was not enough, decided to climb Huashan to worship.
Huayue is high, the wall stands thousands of thousands, the Da Xiwu who is more than the age of the sixtieth armor leads several people, climbs the vine to help the branches and leaves to stay on the top of the mountain at night, it is said that the dream meets a white-haired old man, the old man holds the hand of Da Xiwu, praises the heart of his worship of the mountain god is very pious.
After waking up from the dream, he didn't see the old man, and Da Xiwu wondered if it was the manifestation of the god Huayue, and sure enough, soon after, the nectar was sent to relieve the drought in Guanzhong.
Since there are such benefits of sacrificing Huayue, the incense of Xiyue Temple is naturally becoming more and more prosperous, even if the Sui State is established, the Sui Emperor also personally went to Xiyue Temple to worship, and repeatedly sent important ministers to worship Huayue God.
It's just that now there are frequent wars, and the Xiyue Temple, which was popular in the past, has fallen silent a lot.
A group of people came to the temple but found that the main gate was open, a few miscellaneous servants were sweeping the floor, Liu Wenjing said that the temple was in the house, please take care of yourself, he got off the horse and entered with his head high, and came to the courtyard behind the main gate.
What caught my eye was a few stone tablets, these stone tablets have a great background, Liu Wenjing once listened to his father explain them one by one.
One of the most famous tablets is the monument of the Han Zhenyuan general Duan Xuan, the inscription is written by Zhang Chang, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, and the Wei Emperor Cao Pi and Zhong Xuan are each engraved with two thousand words behind this monument.
Zhong Xiang is the originator of regular script (small Kai), later Wang Xizhi and others all copied its calligraphy, later generations and called "Zhong Wang", Zhong Xiang calligraphy is known as "above the top grade".
And Liu Wenjing copied Zhong Xuan's calligraphy since childhood, one of which was obtained from this inscription.
Looking at the stele, he remembered that his father led him to rub here, and now more than ten years have passed, and the past is vivid, but it is no longer human.
Liu Wenjing was sighing, but saw several people walking around the stele forest, some people held white paper and pen and ink in their hands, and some people held water basins and brushes in their hands.
Xiyue Temple because of the true handiwork of Zhong Xuan, many literati and ink writers will come here on weekdays to rub and take back to copy calligraphy, which is nothing, but now the war is in chaos, there is still such leisure and elegance, I don't know if it is bold or...
Along the way, it was rumored that the Yanzhou army in the south rebelled and defected to the Zhou State and took the opportunity to seize Zhiwu Township in Tongzhou Prefecture, which is not far from Huayin...
Thinking of this, Liu Wenjing secretly said that it was not good, he felt that this group of people was afraid that there was a problem with the way they came, so they immediately decided to turn around and leave, but it was too late.
"Yo, isn't this Liu Langjun? The post station was only a few days away, and we met again today, which is really fateful! (To be continued.) )
