Chapter 22 Into Mount Tai, the secret of Mount Tai

Mount Tai is not a lonely mountain.

This vast mountain system covers an extremely large area, bordering the sea to the east and the Yellow River to the west, directly dividing the land of Qingxu into two states. As a result, there are dozens of mountain trails, but most of the time, business travelers traveling between the north and the south will only choose one of them. That is, out of Yangcheng into Mount Tai Mangdao, take the three peaks, four ridges and thirteen valleys into the Beihai border. The reason for this is that this road is the gentlest and shortest compared to the others, and it often takes only two days to pass from south to north, at least in the era when the Han Dynasty was still very strong and peaceful. But is it a time of peace? Apparently not.

"Why don't you stay at the bottom of the mountain for one night before you go into the mountain?"

Looking at the sky that was about to completely darken, Liu Mingyi unconsciously felt that the majestic mountain in front of him seemed to be a beast with its claws exposed, and he couldn't help but persuade Sun Qian again.

"No, Cao's army is strong, and it will be sent to Xuzhou soon, although my lord is strong, but I am afraid that I can't hold it for a long time."

Of course, Sun Qian didn't understand the worries in Liu Mingyi's heart, so naturally he would not agree to Liu Mingyi's proposal.

"Sun Sima, what Defu said is also reasonable, after all, the mountain road is dangerous, and there may be accidents when traveling at night." Liu Mingyi's proposal was vetoed by Sun Gan, and at this time Jin Ming also dissuaded, "Since the Yellow Turban, the Taishan thieves have become more and more rampant, often attacking business travelers, we should be careful." ”

"Haha! You don't have to worry, in the early years, when I broke the yellow scarf with the lord Kong Beihai, I had a lot of contact with the head of the Taishan thief, and I guess the other party will not embarrass me for the sake of my face. ”

Unexpectedly, after listening to Jin Ming's words, Sun Gan laughed, his tone was full of confidence, which made Jin Ming and the others really settle down a lot, but Liu Mingyi had an indescribable sense of familiarity in his heart, it seemed that Sun Gan's words had been heard before, but he naturally had no reason to refute Sun Gan, so after that, everyone hurried silently, and soon they entered the mountain in front of them from an ancient road.

The ancient road of Mount Tai is barren and secluded, at this time it is no longer the heyday of the Han Dynasty, most of the roads opened up by the predecessors have been flooded by the barren grass, after all, it is not the army or the bandits who dare to enter and exit from Mount Tai now, but no matter which one it is, it will certainly not often go in and out.

Liu Mingyi looked at the sky, at this time, the moon was rising in the east, and the sun was sinking in the west, but it was already dusk. Looking at the light like blood, Liu Mingyi felt a little sad in his heart, and in the end he was forced to face here. The others did not have so much emotion as Liu Mingyi, at least Sun Gan's previous words still made Jin Ming and the others feel a lot more at ease, of course, this does not mean that they completely let down their guard, after all, no bandits does not mean that there are no jackals, tigers and leopards, so since entering the mountain road, their hands are still subconsciously holding on to the weapon, and the conversation between everyone has obviously become less, and most of the time they just follow Sun Gan closely and silently hurry.

Since entering Mount Tai, the sense of familiarity in Liu Mingyi's heart has become clearer and clearer, and every grass and tree seems to exist in his memory, but it is a pity that there are not many things he can recall other than these. In fact, he has been thinking about this for a while, what is the reason why he did not save his memories after returning from death this time, which may be fatal to him, because he has no way to accurately obtain information to help him judge the situation or avoid danger in advance.

"What are you thinking?"

The sudden sound in his ears made Liu Mingyi, who was trying to recall and nervously guarding his surroundings, break out in a cold sweat on his back, but after calming down, he found that the person who spoke was Jin Ming, who had been following him, and at this time, the other party had already driven his horse to walk side by side with Liu Mingyi.

"Haha, it is said that Liu Mingyi has always been quick-witted, but I didn't expect your courage to be really bad!"

Jin Ming also found that Liu Mingyi seemed to be frightened by him, and he was happy all of a sudden.

"You have been in the military all year round, and I am just a little person who got on the throne by luck, so naturally my guts are not as good as yours."

Liu Mingyi was a little unconvinced, but after all, this was not the time to fight, and he didn't want to cause more trouble.

"Brother Liu is too arrogant to say this, the last time you wisely retreated from the Yuan army, it has already spread in the army. To be honest, if it had been me in such a crisis situation, I am afraid that all I could think of at that time was to rely on the defense of the camp, and the result would definitely be the destruction of the camp. ”

Although he didn't know what Liu Mingyi was thinking in his heart, Jin Ming still had a good impression of Liu Mingyi's words, in fact, the reason why Jin Ming laughed because Liu Mingyi was frightened just now was that he felt that Liu Mingyi was too arrogant. The reason is that along the way, Liu Mingyi rarely talks to everyone, which makes everyone's impression of him mostly lonely and arrogant. This is really to blame Liu Mingyi, it's not that he doesn't want to contact people, it's just that the danger makes him not in the mood to chat with others at all, but now Jinming's perception of him has changed somewhat.

"How can there be such a god, in fact, there is really a lot of luck in this matter, if the leading generals of the Yuan army were not too suspicious at that time, but directly attacked, I am afraid that I will not have a chance to stand here at this time."

Liu Mingyi didn't know what everyone thought of him, and he didn't know that his idea of not wanting to have an incident at this time actually changed Jinming's opinion of himself, he said casually, and his attention returned to the dense forest cliffs around the ancient road.

"Brother Liu doesn't have to be so nervous, even if there is really any danger, after all, there are still me and Zheng Wei, not to mention that your eldest brother Lu Ke is also said to be a very brave person, so why worry about a little thief and beast."

Jin Ming naturally found that Liu Mingyi's eyes were always on the mountains and forests on both sides, he stretched out his hand and patted Liu Mingyi's shoulder, intending to let Liu Mingyi relax, after all, it is also a very tiring thing to be so vigilant all the time, but Liu Mingyi just smiled at him and turned his attention around again, Jin Ming had to give up, slowed down his horse speed and chatted with Zheng Wei without a match.

"Hey, Brother Zheng, you are from Xuzhou, you should know a lot about this Mount Tai, right?"

"Well, a little bit of that."

"Speaking of which, I almost went to Mount Tai in the early years!"

"Oh?"

"At that time, the leader of Mount Tai was not Zang Ba today, but Yang Hong, who was a majestic and well-known figure."

"I have also heard a little about this, it is said that this person specializes in robbing the rich and helping the poor, in the years of the Yellow Turban, hundreds of people followed him, and his power was also very great, even Tao Qian had to sell him face."

"But isn't it, so at that time, the heroes from all over the world were proud to devote themselves to Yang Hong's hands, and I also had this plan back then, but then Cao Cao conquered four miles, and I had no choice but to vote under Cao Cao, and I had no chance to go to Mount Tai until I heard that the old village owner Yang Hong died, and I regretted it for a while."

"Haha, it's a pity for this Yang Hong, when he fought all over Mount Tai with a pair of dragon guns, I was successful in my art at that time, I wanted to find him for advice, how did I think that the news of his death suddenly came out, what a pity?"

"Haha, then Brother Zheng is really a pity, if you can get the advice of the Yang Zhai master, I'm afraid your skills can at least go to the next level, but I heard that the death of this Yang Zhai master is also strange, it is said to be related to ghosts!"

"Hey! If there are any ghosts, if you want me to see it, it is Zang Ba's kid who secretly assassinated the master of Yang Zhai. ”

"There is such a saying, but Mount Tai has been a place that leads directly to the underworld since ancient times, and it is said that the secret of life and death is suppressed here, and I am afraid that this ghost theory is not unreasonable."

………

Liu Mingyi had been paying attention to the surrounding mountains and forests at first, and he didn't care about the conversation between the two, but when he heard this, his heart suddenly jumped, "The secret of life and death", could it be that this is the reason why his return to death this time is different from before.
