Chapter 10 "Zhuge Villa"
A team of more than a dozen people lined up on both sides of the carriage to gallop on the road, but it took more than half an hour to arrive at the foot of Dongyue Mountain, and the two maids came down from the carriage first, took off the footstool and helped the people in the carriage out, and it was Xiao Xinyi and Leng Moyan who were sitting in the car.
When Leng Moyan came out of the carriage first, after getting out of the carriage, she straightened her crumpled clothes, and then stretched out her hand to help Xiao Xinyi, who was holding a square box in her arms, to get out of the carriage, Leng Moyan pulled the cloak for Xiao Xinyi, making her look warmer.
Duan Chen came to the two of them and saluted: "We have arrived at the foot of Dongyue Mountain, Zhuge Villa is in front, the mountain road is rugged and the carriage can no longer go in, we can only walk, and look at the two girls Haihan." ”
Xiao Xinyi held the box and it was inconvenient to salute, so Leng Moyan replied: "Please also ask Duan Shaoxia to lead the way." ”
Duan Chen said: "Two girls, please." ”
After saying that, walking ahead to lead the way, Ping'er stepped forward and wanted to help Xiao Xinyi hold the box.
"Don't dare to bother the girl, I'll just take it myself."
Xiao Xinyi bowed to Ping'er to show her gratitude. Ping'er also knew that the contents of the box should be very precious, so she didn't dare to say more, so she returned to Xiao Xinyi with a blessing.
Xiao Xinyi raised his eyes and looked at the mountain, only to see that the mountain road was winding and narrow, only allowing two people to walk side by side, on both sides of the path was a slip of towering trees, stretching for several miles to the left and right, walking along the narrow path for half an hour, the front suddenly opened up, there were no flowers and trees on both sides of the road, but one side was a cliff, and one side was a cliff.
The knife-like cliffs rise from the ground, and the clouds are on the top, and the dangerous peaks stand upright, which is daunting. From afar, the cliff is lush and bottomless. The top of Dongyue Mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, and the mountain peak is like a sharp sword towering between the sea of clouds, and Zhuge Villa is built on the waist of this mountain.
Zhuge Hao was originally from a century-old family of Jianghu and lived in Gusu City for generations, but when he took over as the leader of the Wulin Alliance ten years ago, he suddenly broke away from the family and set up his own door with his wife and young son on this quiet and desolate Dongyue Mountain. For a time, it caused an uproar in the martial arts. Xiao Xinyi has been figuring out Zhuge Haochu's intentions in doing this, but he has not dared to draw conclusions.
The people climbed the stairs carved out of the edge of the cliff, and the mile-long steps were named the Ten Thousand Ladders.
Walked for about half an hour, and finally arrived at the door of Zhuge Villa, Zhuge Villa was built after the war ten years ago, I don't know if it was inspired by the double holy gate, the address was selected in this halfway up the mountain, the edge of the cliff, if a strong enemy came to attack, it will be easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Looking up, I saw five main entrances of the villa, glazed tile loach ridges, four jujube red pillars supported below, a plaque hung in the middle of the main entrance, probably because of Zhuge Haochu's birthday, so it was draped in a new big red silk, the dragon flying phoenix dance Zhuge Villa four golden characters are particularly conspicuous, a color of water mill white wall, green willow protection, two majestic stone lions guarding both sides of the gate, actually for this misty mountains and mountains to add a fireworks.
Xiao Xinyi looked at the villa and unconsciously came to the bottom of the stone steps at the door, the stone steps have a total of nine floors, the three of them slowly went up, Duan Chen walked to the door and said to the guards: "These two girls are the distinguished guests of the Double Holy Gate. ”
Leng Moyan handed over the invitation in his hand, and the guard took the invitation and stroked it with his hand, and then bowed and said, "Please come in." ”
Leng Moyan returned the salute, and the two followed Duan Chen towards the courtyard.
Ping'er hurried to the backyard to report.
The ground of the villa is paved with blue bricks, and on the left side of the courtyard there is a row of landing platforms, which are filled with some long weapons such as spears, axes, clubs, etc., and on the right side there is a row of knife bases, on which are placed some short weapons such as swords, and there is an arrow target next to the courtyard wall, and there is a quiver hanging next to it, except for these, there is nothing else in the courtyard.
Xiao Xinyi and Leng Moyan were taken to the main hall by Duan Chen, and on the wall in the center of the hall hung a huge number of shou characters, red and gold characters, and below the shou character was a long case, and there was a table of eight immortals in front of the desk, and a circle chair was placed on the left and right sides of the table, and there was no one on the chair.
However, there were many people who came to celebrate their birthdays sitting on the circle chairs on the left and right sides of the hall eating tea, and the three of them became the focus of the field as soon as they entered the door.
Before the three of them spoke, a few people hurried from outside the door, the first one was in his forties, wearing a red brocade robe, embroidered with gold thread on the picture of longevity, walking with a momentum of not being angry and mighty, a national character face star-eyed sword eyebrows and nose bridge high, black beard and long hair fluttering on the chest, black hair mixed with white hair, although the years carved spots on his face, but can still see the handsome and chic of youth.
Duan Chen hurriedly saluted and said, "I've seen the alliance leader." ”
This person is the owner of Zhuge Zhan, the owner of the martial arts alliance, Zhuge Villa, the word Haochu.
"So he's so old." Xiao Xinyi thought in his heart.
Zhuge Haochu hugged Duan Chen and said, "It's hard work this time. ”
Xiao Xinyi and Leng Moyan saluted and said, "The disciples of the Double Holy Gate have seen the alliance leader. ”
Although the two of them are juniors, they are disciples of the Double Holy Gate, Zhuge Haochu naturally did not dare to hold it up, and said: "The two girls can come to our village today, it is really a blessing for Zhuge Villa!" Although the two of them are young, they represent the attitude of the Double Holy Gate, Zhuge Haochu stroked his beard with his hand and laughed twice, which shows that he is really happy in his heart.
Xiao Xinyi sorted out his emotions and replied: "Promoted by the leader of the alliance, the family teacher once said that the leader of the Zhuge League is a true hero in the world today, and it is an honor for my generation to come to congratulate the leader of the alliance on his birthday today."
Zhuge Haochu sighed: "Zhuge is ashamed, I can't afford such a false praise, I think I haven't seen the two saints for ten years, I don't know how the two seniors are doing."
Xiao Xinyi replied: "The alliance master is concerned, and the family teacher has always been well." Zhuge Haochu said: "This is very good, the Double Holy Gate is the mainstay of my martial arts, and the health of the two saints is the luck of the rivers and lakes."
At this time, the woman who came with Zhuge Haochu took a step forward and said, "The road up the mountain is very difficult, and the two girls are tired."
Xiao Xinyi looked at the woman, and saw that the woman was about forty years old, very beautiful, with curved eyebrows and apricot eyes that were kind and gentle, with a faint vermilion on her lips, a goose egg face with thin powder, although there were faint fine lines at the corners of her eyes, but she added a bit of style to her autumn-like eyes, with a pair of eight-treasure jade ruyi hairpins on her head, wearing a set of red gilt dresses, rusty brocade peony balls, and a very graceful and noble atmosphere.
Zhuge Haochu looked at the woman and said to Xiao Xinyi and the two, "This is clumsy."
The two hurriedly saluted the woman: "I've seen Mrs. Zhuge ."
Mrs. Zhuge held the two of them and didn't let them salute and said, "The girl came after a long journey, and she couldn't meet her in person, so please don't blame the girl." Invite the girl to take a seat. ”
The two looked around at the seats in the field, and several elderly people in the upper seat stood up and were about to give up their seats, Xiao Xinyi hurriedly saluted and said, "Seniors, please take a seat." Then he walked towards the end of the right, the current atmosphere is respected on the right side, although the two are the youngest, but they represent the double holy gate, naturally they can't be too humble, but they can't ignore the difference between the old and the young, and they sit at the end of the right side of the choice.
When Zhuge Hao first saw the two of them walking towards the seat, he couldn't help but smile and seemed relieved. Last night, the servants came to report that two young female disciples had come, and Zhuge Hao was very disappointed in his heart, thinking that the Double Holy Gate had no intention of interfering in the rivers and lakes, and only sent two young disciples to deal with him. Today, when I saw these two disciples sent by the Double Holy Sect, most of my heart had been put down, and I saw that these two people were talking and speaking like dragons and phoenixes among people, and they must be first-class characters in the door.
