Chapter 12 The country is in the cabinet
Vertical and horizontal, black and white.
Where there is sunshine, there is shadow.
Some live in the sun, others only in the shadows.
Everyone is a pawn, black or white, playing their own role, fighting or continuing.
No piece can jump out of the horizontal and vertical circle.
This frame is life, but also rivers and lakes.
In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight shone on Jiegan City, and the maid quickly moved the position of the parasol, and he wrapped his black robe tightly in the shadows on the couch.
He, who desperately longs for the sun, can only live in the shadows.
It was a terrible white, a whiteness that permeated people's hearts and cooled people's blood.
The whiteness is his skin, his beard, his eyebrows, and his eyes.
He is a person who has been forgotten by time, and he has also forgotten time. The years are long, empty and helpless.
This unraveling city is the cage he has built for himself, and the prisoners are forbidden.
Overnight strong tea, astringent and bitter, a game of stalemate, no solution.
"Old friend, I know you're still alive. Old adversary, I know you're alive too, so I'm alive too. ”
He thought and smiled, the scars of the years did not carve the rings of old age on his face, except for the sick white, he looked only in his twenties.
At this moment, the black-robed man enjoying the sunshine under the shadow of the parasol of the Jiangshan Pavilion pointed out by Jiegan City is the mysterious master of Lianyun Seventy-two Villages.
Xiang Meng, who was full of alcohol, ran in recklessly.
"Big boss, I overthrew the second prince who left the country last night."
"You're the only one who gets drunk." The big boss said calmly.
"I watched him get drunk before going back to his room!" Xiang Meng said a little unconvinced.
"What do you think of this Zheng Xuan?" The voice of the big boss was extremely low.
"Hasn't he passed all your trials?"
"Wisdom, courage, strength. This is just the initial trial. The big boss shook his head.
"Still trying? I can't play anymore, I think this kid is good. Xiang Meng was a little anxious.
"The next trial is not something I can control. Don't try, let him go down the mountain. The big boss waved his hand and coughed dryly.
"Then you don't see him?"
"It's gone. When he truly has the world in mind, we will naturally meet. After speaking, the big boss covered his black scarf and stood up.
"Big boss, we have been stuck in this Jiegan City for more than ten years, it's time to go out and muddy the waters. If you go down again, when will it be a head. Xiang Meng helped the big boss and walked back from the rooftop to guide the Jiangshan Pavilion.
"If the general trend comes, you won't be able to nest when you want to."
"Then why don't I go down the mountain and help that kid first?" Xiang Meng had a sincere smile on his face, testing the tone of the big boss.
"No, I don't. You convey two sentences to him for me, the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. At the end of the road, I remember another village on the bank of Yangliu. ”
"Understood!"
The big boss looked at the back of Xiang Fierce Wind and pointed out the Jiangshan Pavilion, and sighed: "Lord Renwang has never been a savior from heaven. ”
Yesterday, Xiang Meng said that after sunrise today, he would send Chongsheng down the mountain. So the three of Chongsheng prepared their luggage and waited in the guest room early
"Noble! It's a pity that the big boss is not here because of something, and he can't meet the nobles. But the big boss had something to convey to the nobleman, he said that the mountains and rivers are heavy, and he said that when he was at the end of the road, he would go to another village on the bank of Yangliuan. Xiang Meng picked up the tea bowl in the guest room and drank it in a big gulp.
There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. This Shiyuan teacher once mentioned it, does this big master also know? Chongsheng thought to himself in his heart, and then asked: "What is another village?" ”
"The hell knows what the place is! Anyway, what the big boss said, you just remember. You'll know someday. Noble, I'll send you down the mountain! ”
"Then there will be Lao Xianger in charge."
"I took you to the mountain and tossed for a day in vain, and I felt very embarrassed to Xiang Meng. I know that you are going to the Holy Dynasty Hao Heavenly City, so I will give you a ride as a way to make up for it! Xiang Meng walked out of the guest room without looking back.
Going out of the city was much smoother, and the four of them came to the square in front of the gate of Jiegan City after a while, and saw hundreds of green forest mountain bandits fiddling with something in the square.
"Xiang Boss, the way down the mountain, we know, you just send it here." Chongsheng said politely.
"Nope! There are still more than 1,000 miles from here to Haotian City in Kyoto, and I can send you directly to Longxialing, Tianguonan County, and there are only 600 miles left from there to Kyoto. After Xiang Meng finished speaking, he strode to the square and commanded the mountain bandits.
"Isn't that going to be sent five hundred miles? To the master, don't bother you so much! Chongsheng shouted at Xiang Meng's back.
Xiang Meng didn't look back, waved his hand behind his back, and said to the mountain bandits in the square: "A few over there come over there to hang up the chariot, and a few of you quickly unfold your skins!" ”
Chongsheng and the three looked at Xiang Meng in confusion, didn't they say that they were going to be sent down the mountain? Why is Xiang Meng only busy with himself?
After about a stick of incense, a large, friendless white sheepskin pouch was propped open, and a large aluminum stove hung from the particle. Under the stove was a wooden box without a roof, on which hung a row of sandbags, surrounded by beautiful drawings of ladies.
"Make a fire!" Xiang Meng shouted, only to see the attendant make a fire in the aluminum stove, and under the raging fire, the sheepskin bag actually flew up.
Hundreds of green forest mountain bandits vigorously pulled the leather rope connecting the sheepskin sac, controlling the height of the sheepskin sac.
"What is this?" Chongsheng asked in surprise.
"This is a flying chariot made by the big boss." Xiang Meng said with a smug face.
"Flying Wheel?" Chongsheng didn't understand Xiang Meng's words.
"I don't understand, Zhang Laosan, come over and explain this flying chariot to the nobleman." shouted to a green forest mountain bandit who was rushing into the square.
"Yes!" Zhang Laosan ran over quickly: "Nobleman, this flying chariot was made by my master, and it can be said that it is very creative." ”
"Pick up useful and say!" Xiang Meng interrupted Zhang Laosan's words with a look of disgust.
"Yes, second master. The master said that the air rises when heated, and this huge sheepskin sac is filled with heated air, and when the fire heats it, the air is constantly heated, and the sheepskin sac will fly. The size of the sheepskin sac determines the weight of what is carried underneath. As soon as these soldiers let go of the leather rope, the sheepskin bag will rise with the wooden box. Honorable, you see. Zhang Laosan pointed to the flying chariot and continued.
"The moving sail on this sheepskin bag is used to steer the direction. And the function of those big sandbags is to change the flight altitude. The big boss said that the direction of the air flow is different at different altitudes, so as long as someone who is familiar with the direction of the air flow in the four seasons can control the flying chariot, the chariot can fly anywhere it wants. Zhang Laosan said endlessly.
"Don't blow it!" Xiang Meng interrupted Zhang Laosan with a dissatisfied face.
"Yes, second master. Because of the relationship between the size of the sheepskin sac and the burning time of the aluminum furnace, we can only fly more than 200 miles in the air at present. Because you need to know the direction of the air flow in the air, you can only go anywhere. However, Longxialing, Tianguo South County, was personally tried several times by the big boss, and there was no problem at all. ”
"Is there such a miraculous thing in the world?" After hearing this, Chongsheng suddenly became interested.
Xiang Meng opened the wooden box door on the flying chariot: "Noble! Do you dare to come! ”
"Why don't you dare!" Chongsheng smiled and walked onto the wooden box.
"Childe, I don't dare! If you fall, you die. Wang Zuo resisted with a frightened face, and Xiang Meng was not used to it, so he flew up from behind, kicked Wang Zuo to the ground, and then grabbed his ears and dragged him onto the flying chariot.
"You little coward! I really don't deserve to be by the side of nobles. Xiang Meng cursed, and when Kurong got on the flying chariot, he closed the door of the flying chariot wooden box.
The space in the wooden box is huge, two rows of wooden chairs are placed side by side, and the three people who worship the sheng, plus Xiang Meng and the three mountain bandits who operate the sails, a total of seven people are seated.
"Pull the rope!" Xiang Meng shouted to the mountain bandit outside the wooden box.
The mountain bandits were ordered, and slowly let go of the leather rope in their hands, and the flying chariot gradually rose into the air.
The person who was pierced by the sun couldn't open his eyes, and the flying chariot swept through the layers of white clouds, facing the morning sun, and rising straight to the sky.
The earth gradually faded away, the people on the ground were as tiny as ants, and the mountains and rivers were slowly unfolding like a picture.
The magnificent thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are endless, and the sublime in the clouds only feels that the rivers and mountains are fully embraced, and a heroic and majestic emotion infects the blood in every part of his body.
At first, Wang Zuogui shrank in the corner of the flying chariot and shivered, but now he is actually lying on the window of the wooden box, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window happily.
"What kind of person is the big boss?" Chongsheng asked suddenly.
can make a hero like Xiang Meng stoop down to serve, can build such a majestic Jiegan City, set up the trial of ingenuity alone, and this ingenious flying chariot, Chongsheng admires from the bottom of his heart, within the scope of his cognition, no one can do this. Although he doesn't know what the big boss means to himself, Chongsheng can be sure that the big boss is a friend and not an enemy.
"The big boss is a person who can hold the country into the palm of his hand, and he is a person who can change the color of the world. The third child of our family said that the big boss is a god, a god who is immortal and immortal. Xiang Meng looked at the blue sky outside the clouds and said seriously.
"God?" Chongsheng also had a serious face.
"Lianyun Seventy-two Village, with 200,000 soldiers, 100 warships, brokering the black market transactions of half of the Holy Dynasty, this strength is no less than a feudal country, we are under the nose of King Jun, and King Jun can only turn a blind eye. But the big boss is only willing to bear the name of mountain bandits and nest in this uncovered city. Xiang Meng sighed after speaking.
"The big boss is so capable, why is he willing to be just a mountain bandit?" Chongsheng asked suspiciously.
"The big boss is waiting for someone!"
"Waiting for someone?" Chongsheng was even more puzzled and asked.
"That's right! Wait for someone who can stir up the storm and make this old face new. Wait for someone who can rise up for it. ”
Chongsheng didn't say a word after listening, looking at the sky in the distance, and the Holy Dynasty Haotian City was in front of him.
Under the blue sky, Jiegancheng pointed to the long column outside the Jiangshan Pavilion, and the big boss was looking up at the flying chariot that was far away.
"Big boss, the second child automatically used the flying chariot, and you don't care." A handsome young man said with a pretended disgruntled smile.
"When the dragon flies into the sky, the tiger that falls from the mountain finally returns to the forest. The rising light is not destined to be a flickering meteor. Old friend, you raised an interesting young man. After the big boss finished speaking, a smile spread on his white face.
"We'll see!" After the young man finished speaking, he looked up at the flying chariot that was flying away.
