��… What a "wind cannon"... This is obviously the "Fantian Seal", but if that's the case, will this guy be... ）

The kick of the horse was really not trivial, and the emperor elephant who kicked directly was about to crack his bones, stroked his shoulder, inhaled the cold air slightly, and secretly judged the situation in his heart.

(Neither of them is my opponent, but it wouldn't be great if the two of them were together, if all three of them were together...) ）

Although he didn't like it, Emperor Xiangxian had to admit that in the face of these three people, the possibility of "dying in battle" was far greater than "winning completely", since this was the case, it was necessary to consider some other tactics.

(That fat man's spell is suppressed by Yokoe, that blind man...) As long as you're really blind, it's easy to do, but that guy who uses the "Fantian Seal"... ）

Silently calculating, Emperor Xiangxian had already made up his mind in a blink of an eye, and he was determined to turn against the guest, and he was caught off guard by the three of them.

At this time, the two stone statues had staggered to both sides of the chariot, and the horses and the wind cannon occupied the other two places, standing in a triangular shape, surrounding the emperor elephant first.

Without saying a word, the emperor elephant first held the tail of the lance with one hand, slowly raised it flat, and handed it out from his chest. The length of Yokoe is seven feet nine inches, and even if you add the length of one arm, you can't reach three enemies who are all fifteen feet away. Perhaps for this reason, the three of them didn't make any moves, just watched quietly.

Then, the tip of the lance slowly drooped down, touching the ground, but it suddenly accelerated, drawing shallow traces on the ground, and when the emperor elephant began to spin rapidly at the same time, a huge circle centered on him quickly appeared on the ground.

Still didn't know what he was doing, but the inexplicable uneasiness began to attack the three of them, almost at the same time, the "car", "horse", and "cannon" that had already cultivated an incomparable tacit understanding were launched at the same time, the stone statue smashed, the legs were all over the sky, although the wind cannon did not move, the black equipment on the shoulder buzzed lowly, and a faint red light flashed inside, like a one-eyed demon wolf that was watching on the side, just waiting for the prey to be exposed.

… They're all a step slower.

Before the stone statue of the chariot moved, before the horse's legs could kick its target, a gentle white light emerged from the lance marks and rushed straight up, forming a soft but tough wall of light that separated the two of them.

His expression changed suddenly, he waved his hands quickly, the two stone statues accelerated at the same time, and the wind cannon on the other side also launched the magic weapon on his shoulder, and several fist-sized fireballs roared out and attacked the wall of light, but the defensive power of the wall of light was actually extremely strong, and the fireball of the stone fist hit up, just a fluctuation, and did not collapse.

Hearing it again, a clear whistle rose from the wall of light: "See the dragon in the field, see the lord!" ”

The whistling sound was clear, and it was even more obvious that the confidence was extremely abundant, and it was unstoppable, and in the midst of the whistling, the chariot had lost its color and exclaimed: "The Heavenly Dragon Method... You... You turned out to be Emperor Zhao!? ”

Exclamation, only in exchange for a long smile of smugness, only a moment, the wall of light has collapsed, the effect requested by Emperor Xiangxian has been received, the wall of light shattered at the same time, turned into countless small white dots and threw at the wind cannon, seemingly useless things, but it can force it to take a few steps, the black instrument on the shoulder is even rarer not fired, as for the original Emperor Xiangxian in the same wall of light inside the horse, is tightly covering his ears, rolling on the ground, his legs are crazy in the air, but it is aimless.

(It's a pity, if you can have a "complete realm" like the old man, you can just now restrain the sound waves in two ways, and directly destroy this guy's ears..., no, if you can control the power as accurately as the old man, even if you only use the sixth level of strength, you can kill all three guys in ten moves... ）

Knowing that he could not win with "strength", the emperor first used the "art of war" and tried his best to use the Heavenly Dragon Trick to observe whether the opponent really wanted to assassinate the "second prince" or only to get rid of a "forbidden army general", but more importantly, he still hoped to kill three birds with one stone and use blitzkrieg to weaken the opponent's combat power first.

Determined that the horse was the fastest of the three, Emperor Xiang deliberately controlled it first, and waited until he entered the realm of "Seeing the Dragon in the Field" before launching the secret move, although this made him kicked by the horse again, but he finally won the opportunity to isolate him in this "closed space".

With all his might, because of the defensive characteristics of the wall of light, thunder waves surged back and forth in this small space, and the power was doubled, and for the horses who were sensitive to hearing and were more than ordinary people, they were almost stunned at that time.

Believing that what the wind cannon is holding in his hand is the "Fantian Seal", Emperor Xiangxian is sure that his "Imperial Heaven and Dragon Method" born because of Yi will be able to interfere with any Dao Gate magic weapon for a while as the past record has been, and when the cannon and horse are unable to act, with his own strength alone, he will use the fastest time to assassinate the chariot first!

Seeing the dynamics of the emperor elephant rushing first, and also finding that the state of the two comrades-in-arms seemed to be unable to be counted on for the time being, the chariot did not hesitate at all, and quickly withdrew, and at the same time, the two stone statues rushed to the left and right, forming a huge stone wall to block him.

"Hey, it's useless..."

Sneering, the emperor elephant first danced across the river, relying on the power of the female earth bat to suppress the stone statue as just now, and smashed it more quickly like powder, only delayed less than three snaps of his fingers, he had broken through the stone wall, the long lance swirled sharply, and the big flower came out, and the chariot was firmly locked!

"Boy, it's too much of a deception..."

It seems that because there is no way back, a strange light appeared in the eyes of the chariot, and it turned into a dark blue color, screamed, and his hands spun, only to hear a strange sound of "Che Changchang", a huge stone shield flashed in his hand, and all of a sudden, he actually ate the blow of the emperor elephant first!

(It's... ）

Emperor Xiangxian's full force blow is not general. The stone shield was immediately shattered, but it was not scattered, but it flew in a burst, and it was reformed into the shape of armor, and it was draped on the body of the chariot by itself, and the excess part turned into a two-handed sword, which was held by him.

"You can force out our 'second form', boy, you are still glorious even if you die..."

(You can control the earth like this, but why not just push ten and eight stone soldiers to besiege it?) Wouldn't it be better? And, what is the second form? ）

Theoretically speaking, such as the fire burning, the water swallowing the boat or the driving stone statue like the chariot are only the middle realm of heaven and earth, after the cultivation is profound, the power of the elements can be transported from the heart, not limited by the original form of all things, such as the chariot is now like this gathering condensation armor soldiers, more able to rely on it to fight against the heavenly gods without falling, it is necessary to master the extremely subtle, but, if there is really such a cultivation, it is not difficult to move all the stone statues on both sides of the Shinto just now, so why use only two bodies to tempt?

Surprised in his heart, the emperor knew that this was not the time to think about it carefully, he swung his lance and slammed it, and at the same time secretly used the power of the earth, but this time it was completely useless, but because he trusted the help of the divine soldier too much, he was almost broken by a sword in the chariot.

Fang took a step back, the wind has risen!

If you don't look back, you know that it must be a horse attack, and the emperor elephant doesn't turn back first, so he makes a Su Qin back sword style, sweeping the Hengjiang behind him, Guojue touched twice, hurriedly pulled the situation, the body flipped, and with a mouth, there was an earth-shattering roar.

Unexpectedly, the wheezing was not exhausted, and the shadow of the leg had appeared, sweeping over the sky like an overwhelming one, the emperor elephant was unexpected, and he was in a hurry for a while, and he was attacked from behind by the chariot, and the right flank was injured for a long time. Fang saw the appearance of the horse in front of him clearly, and began to know why the roar was useless: he actually had wax pills stuffed in both ears, but in this way, he was dead in his ears and eyes, but why could he still maintain his speed and accuracy?

Undecided, a few fires swept by, and the Dangerous Sect Emperor Xiang first tasted what it meant to "pierce the heart", and had seen the white light of the wind cannon in the distance extinguished, but instead of it, it was a strange blue light, which was unstable, like a flame shape, and the wind cannon was completely enveloped.

(A practitioner who is not restrained by the stars, a blind man who does not judge with his ears, a Taoist who is not afraid of the suppression of the I Ching...) What the hell are these monsters!? ）

The art of war was useless, but it forced out the opponent's stronger and more fierce form, and the emperor was bold first, and at this time, his palms were slightly sweaty, and he felt very bitter in his mouth.

(Well, there's no other option, but I really don't want to use that trick...) ）

Gritting his teeth slightly, Emperor Xiang made up his mind first, shook his hands, and actually put Hengjiang back on his back, separated his feet, put on a posture, and stared at the three of them calmly, without the slightest fear.

I saw the sword light flickering, the leg shadow was hazy, coming from both sides, the emperor elephant didn't shake first, he simply closed his eyes, and waited until the two of them got close, Fang roared, both fists came out, left fencing, right rejecting legs!

I can smell it, and I howl badly!

With just one punch, it can actually make the two of them fall to the ground with a wail, and they can't stop rolling, obviously there is no injury on their bodies, but they all howl as if they are being cut by a thousand knives.

If you want to break each one, this is undoubtedly the best time, Emperor Xiangxian snorted, suddenly returned his hand, and scratched wildly on his body, immediately blood splashed, and the end was miserable, followed by more flying up, and passed away in the forest, at this time, the two carriages and horses still did not slow down, and the wind cannon was stunned, and he didn't dare to make a move, and watched him go.

----------------------------------------------------------------

The sun was excellent, warm but not scorching, the river flowed gently, occasionally a string of bubbles rolled up, making a mooring sound, the water was clear, and there were small fish and shrimp swimming happily in it.

Yun Chongbo tried to stand up a little, so that the bottom of the bucket was slightly off the ground, and made sure that the bucket of water and the previous bucket were indeed in the right position, so he stood upright, stood straight, trotted all the way uphill, climbed to the top of the slope and stood still, exhaled a long breath, and then ran down a few steps, and poured the water in the bucket into the ditch surrounding the rice field with a bang, so that he could free his hand and beat his waist.

The slope was not high, only about ten steps, but when Yun Chongbo had repeated this action hundreds of times this morning, he couldn't help but feel a little sore. However, there is more joy and pride in my heart.

(It's different with stronger power, if I used to be in the village, I couldn't stand it with fifty trips at most, if I go back to farming now, I can at least open up a few more pieces of land, maybe even the wasteland near the north mountain...) ）

If it is known that Yun Chongbo's "ambition" is just to be a "top" farmer with his own strength, I don't know how many breasts and feet will be smashed and broken, fortunately, this is just an idea of Yun Chongbo, which has never been known to others, and the person standing in front of him now does not have the ability to peek into the minds of others.

"Oh, little brother, it's really hard for you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to water this land in three days."

Praised by the middle-aged farmer with thick hands and black face, wearing a straw hat, and constantly wiping sweat with the rags around his neck while talking, Yun Chongbo couldn't help touching his head and smiled: "It's nothing, it's nothing..."

It has been five or six days since Yun Chongbo and Lu Yan "spoke thoroughly", these days, Lu Yan has been visiting the village with Gan Laohan every day, asking for various ancient rituals, Yun Chongbo has not read much, and he can't understand what they say at all, so he can only mingle with the villagers every day, trying his best to inquire and record some oral songs or legends and other things.

"Three hundred poems, neither promiscuity nor adultery, gentleness and generosity... However, whether the sage is really just a recorder who 'narrates but does not do', or whether he has deleted and changed his pen or even made an independent "creation", there has been a debate in the depths of the academic circles, so I would like to ask Brother Yun to record as many songs and ballads sung by the people in the village as possible when I am searching for ancient rites, of course, if you can hear some ancient legends that are different from what we are familiar with, it will be even more precious..."

Generally speaking, Hua Shengrong's ability to "spy" or "inquire" should be at least ten times that of Yun Chongbo, but in the Peach Blossom Spring, this common sense has been most completely subverted.

It seems that because of this situation, Hua Shengrong's morale is greatly depressed, and every day he just follows Yun Chongbo in a daze, as an ordinary recorder, and when Yun Chongbo is busy, he will find a cooler place to lie down, and from time to time he will ridicule Yun Chongbo a few words, but he always receives no response, when he finally understands that Yun Chongbo and those villagers actually regard "hillbilly" or "life to work" as a kind of praise, even the last vitality is gone, I can only roll my eyes and lament to the sky, why is there such a place in the world.

(Really, I can't convince him, if I want to pull Xiucai out and beat him, force him to find a way, it's over, I have to do farm work here, Lao Tzu didn't run out of the house for farming...) ）

In the negotiation with Lu Yan, Yun Chongbo had told Hua Shengrong that he knew, and at the same time frankly admitted that he had pulled Lu Yan, who said he wanted to go back to the house to rest, because he was too excited that night, but he fell Lu Yan down because he was too strong.

Surprised, Yun Chongbo found that Lu Yan was really just an ordinary scholar as he looked, without any special abilities, it was only because of that academic persistence that he managed to investigate and find a way to enter the Peach Blossom Spring, in the face of Yun Chongbo's anger, he was calm and humble, but said that he would not give in, and he would never take the initiative to leave here until he was satisfied.

was originally quite dissatisfied with Lu Yan's actions, but Yun Chongbo was moved so far, and promised that he would definitely help, and if Lu Yan was inconvenient after coming out of the clouds, he could still send him home, and without waiting for Lu Yan to answer, he ran away, dug the confused Hua Shengrong out of bed, and began to investigate the folk songs in the village overnight.

(It's easy to be moved, and then go to do day work, this guy is indeed a sheep, a sheep with a lot of oil and water, and the identification is complete...) ）

In his imagination, he made a mean comment, and imagined a golden seal, and pressed his name on the beautiful and unreal shark silk, Hua Shengrong showed a wistful smile at the corner of his mouth, until a sentence came into his ear and said: "I'm tired of you, sit down and breathe..." ”

After Yun Chongbo sat down, he first copied his saliva and ate, wiped his face, and didn't mention the ballad, but said: "By the way, I wanted to ask you just now, you have to climb up the slope like this every day in order to hold water and water the ground, why don't you think about it?" ”

The farmer was stunned and said, "What can I do, the terrain here is high, and the water can't be brought up." ”

Yun Chongbo shook his head and said, "No, no, I mean you can make something that pumps water, which can save a lot of effort..." Make it heavy in front and light in the back... It's enough to solve a few similar trees, and it takes two days at most to build it, and I heard that this thing is called a tree, and it can be faster to lift water, much faster than climbing..."After thinking about it, he added: "Actually, I haven't seen this thing at home, but I saw it here with you... Oh, I mean outside the Peach Blossom Garden... You have a lot of cliffs here, and you can save yourself so much hard climbing with this..."Hearing this, Hua Shengrong rolled his eyes, and said in his heart: "Others come out to run to think that there is valuable money there, and if it is not good, they should also look at the beautiful village girl or something, and they are only thinking about how to farm, really..." But he was a little admired, he and Yun Chongbo have been walking, and naturally he has also seen Qingzhou mountain people draw water from wooden trees, but they only glanced at it, and they didn't take it to heart, where they thought that Yun Chongbo actually remembered the structure clearly?

But I heard someone say angrily: "Nonsense! Does the little bunny want to harm people!? The three of them were all startled, and when they looked up, they saw an old man with a white beard holding a jujube stick, and turned out from the other side of the rice field with a grunt, and the farmer was already busy saying: "Mr. Meng, how come you are free... Be careful! He rushed over and picked him up. On the other hand, he also said: "There are young people, and I don't call someone to accompany me when I come out..."

This "Mr. Meng" Yunhua and the two of them also knew him, knowing that he was one of the elders in this peach blossom garden, called Meng Di, the word Ziren, the prestige is very high, but he has always been easy-going, Yun Chongbo once met him with Lu Yanbai, at that time, he was a kind old man, and he seemed to be a little "childlike", although he had goods in his stomach, but he was just teasing the two of them, so he thought of running out suddenly today, and he was still angry like this?

Meng Di was in front of Yun Chongbo in a blink of an eye, he was still angry, stared at it for a while, and said: "I have seen you in the past few days, you are indeed a simple and enlightened person, how can you actually harbor evil intentions and want to harm our Peach Blossom Spring?" ”

Under the cover of the big hat, Yun Chongbo was so stuffy that he couldn't speak for a while, his mouth was open, and he just thought in his heart: "Harboring evil intentions, bad peach blossom source... What am I doing? Fortunately, Meng Di had already continued: "Look at your face... Still not convinced, aren't you? Yun Chongbo nodded in his heart, but he was afraid that he would offend him and affect Lu Yan's great cause--he had already known that this old man might have more goods hidden in his belly than anyone in the village--his face was bitter, and he didn't dare to agree.

Meng Di stared at him for a while, and finally said, "Okay, if you don't know if it's a crime, the old man will enlighten you." As he spoke, he pulled over a bucket, turned it over and sat down, knocked on the ground with a jujube stick in his hand, and said, "Do you think the old man has never seen this thing?" ”

Yun Chongbo was dumbfounded: "What is it..."Meng Di was no longer impatient, and said: "It's the thing you said!" It's still faint, and you still want to make it clear...", and he was a little angry, and he gasped twice before saying: "Let me ask you, do you think it's the hard work of climbing the slope and carrying water to water the ground, or the hard work of cows, horses, or even fish and meat?" ”

Yun Chongbo felt that the old man was crazy, and said, "Of course, I'd rather climb the slope and water the ground... But just install an orange tree, so it won't become beef, horse and fish! As he spoke, he couldn't help but smile a little, Meng Di saw it in his eyes and snorted: "You know a fart!" ”

And he said: "Of course it's not like installing an orange tree... Even the first person who thought of pretending to be an orange tree might live a better life, but in this peach blossom garden, there will be people who will make cattle and horses, and someone who will make fish and meat! ”

Yun Chongbo was slightly stunned, Fang smacked out some taste, but he was a little vague, and couldn't help but arch his hand: "Please speak clearly, okay?" ”

Meng Di nodded and snorted: "You are from outside, you should know what it is like outside, even in the smallest town, there are officials, chiefs, officials, and teachers... Right? ”

Yun Chongbo said: "Yes... But the world is like this..."Suddenly, I remembered that since I entered the Peach Blossom Spring, I have never seen these characters. But he was relieved and said: "What's so strange about this, the emperor doesn't know that there is still here, and they don't know how to go outside, of course there will be no officials, and there is no need to prepare for the exam..."

Meng Di kept squinting at him, and suddenly said, "Wrong! Without waiting for Yun Chongbo to speak, he said, "Do you think that it is because of the emperor that there are these people?" Wrong! Put the cart before the horse! ”

Yun Chongbo was startled, and said, "How do you know what I'm thinking..."Meng Di snorted and said: "The old man has walked more bridges than you have walked, what's so difficult!" Yun Chongbo didn't dare to speak, but whispered in his heart: "There are only a few small deadly bridges in this place, you must be able to walk more than me, unless you are looking at the bridge..."

Meng Di didn't know what was going on in his heart, and continued: "The chief of the officials... These people, they don't farm land, right? Seeing Yun Chongbo nodded, he said, "But their lives are better than farming, right!" ”

Yun Chongbo shook violently and said, "Yes... Right! But there was already chaos in my heart.

He grew up in the village since he was a child, and he has always been accustomed to these things, and he has never seriously thought about them, but at this moment, he was thrown into it by Meng Di with one stone, and he was stunned and just thought: "Yes, their lives are better than farming... But, why? ”

I heard Meng Di hum again: "The better you live, the less you have to work... He doesn't have to work, of course, he can only count on his share of food to be grown... Hey, that's the truth, but you still can't figure it out. ”

As he spoke, he crossed his legs on stilts, and said swayingly: "In fact, in the ancient world, the people cultivated and ate themselves, weaving and wearing themselves, and when there were occasional disasters, the neighbors protected each other, and they rushed over, just because there were always some people who wanted to get something for nothing, and wanted to live more comfortably, so they used their brains to think of some ways to pit other people's food, the best of the pit was the emperor, and the worse of the pit was the civil and military officials, and those who had no ability to pit the pit could only plough the acres and be a common man for a lifetime... Hey, be a people who feed others all their lives! ”

Yun Chongbo was dizzy when he heard this, but he suddenly remembered what he had just said, and said, "But, but, what does this have to do with the orange tree?" ”

Meng Di was furious, slammed the ground with a wooden stick, and said, "Are you a pig's head?" ”

"For a machine, there must be a machine; Those who have organic things will have their hearts! ”

"If you want to bargain, you want to get something for nothing, you want to pour it without picking today, you will want to eat without plowing tomorrow, and if you can't use machinery, you will want to serve people! The wood of the hug, from the end of the millimeter, the ivory chopstick, the introduction of the meat forest... Got it, boy! ”

Yun Chongbo was speechless by his training, his eyes blinked and he was just stunned, Meng Di ignored him, and said to the farmer: "Do you understand? Still have the idea of being lazy? The farmer said yes, and hurriedly put the flat on his shoulders and went to fetch water. Yun Chongbo was bored, and when he wanted to slip away, he was stopped by Meng Di again: "Look at the kid is also obedient, the old man will give you some sweetness..." ”

---------------------------------------

"I work at sunrise, rest at sunset, dig wells and drink, plough fields and eat, what is Dili to me..."

"Hmm."

Raising his hand slightly, Lu Yan motioned to Yun Chongbo to stop reciting, and said: "It turns out that in ancient times, this song was written as 'Di De Ze Quilt' instead of 'Di Li Jiayou', which is interesting..." ”

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, stopped writing and smiled: "What, did someone say to you that it was the virtue of virtue when you copied it?" ”

Yun Chongbo shook his head and said: "That's not it, but it seems to be, because the uncle began to remember that it was the virtue of virtue, and Mr. Meng scolded him for not learning and not knowing, and then I asked him why Dili got it from me, and he scolded me for not knowing anything, so I left with a huff..."

Lu Yan laughed and said: "What a stinky temper, it's really not like a learned person, but it's also straightforward...", and said: "He scolded right, you didn't make a mistake, there was no word 'de' in ancient times, 'de' and 'de' are the same, if you remember the word de, it will be very wrong..." With a sigh, his brows furrowed, and his expression became serious.

Yun Chongbo looked down at the words, didn't pay attention to Lu Yan's expression, and said again: "How are you today, did you ask any story about Wuzhiqi?" Lu Yan shook his head and said: "Not at all, it seems that there is no legend of Wuzhiqi in the era of the Great Flood, and it should be made up by later generations." Yun Chongbo sighed, a little disappointed. Xin said: "Since I was a child, I have listened to the story of the big water demon Wuzhiqi, and Daddy Du told it so vividly, but it turned out to be all fake..." What about the story of the little girl's reclamation? Seeing that Lu Yan only smiled and shook his head, he was very bored, and muttered: "Who is so bored, making up stories by themselves and relying on the ancients..."Lu Yan smiled: "Brother Yun, you still read too little, what is it to make up stories, so the whole scripture book, the whole paragraph of the history book has to be this first-rate work." ”

Lu Yan talked to him casually, and his brows tightened more and more, and then he suddenly said: "Brother Yun, you tell me what Mr. Meng said to you during the day, from beginning to end, carefully and carefully." "The look is extremely serious.

Yun Chongbo told according to his words, he was not good at words, and seeing that Lu Yan was serious, he said while thinking about it, it was significantly slower, and Lu Yan was not critical, he was just listening quietly, and occasionally he also wrote a book, and he didn't know what to remember.

When Yun Chongbo said, "The best thing to do is the emperor...", Lu Yan's face suddenly changed, and he said: "By the way, this is it!" Yun Chongbo was startled, and said, "What's the matter..."Seeing that Lu Yan's eyes were blazing and obviously unfathomable, it was really as if two Nine Heavens Stars were in his eyes, one hand pressed on the table, the other hand touched his chest, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Above Xuanyuan, there is no 'emperor', since he said 'emperor', he is not a person from the Warring States... What's going on?! ”

----------------------------------------------------------

"How could this be..."

It was already the second day when Meng Di's identity was in doubt, Lu Yan, who had always attached great importance to etiquette, had a gray face, his hair was unkempt, his eyes were lifeless, full of bloodshots, he was lying on the desk in a daze, chewing unconsciously in his mouth, obviously he had almost bitten a silver quill into a bald head, and his mouth was dyed black, but he didn't feel it at all.

Because of the doubt that someone in the Peach Blossom Spring, who should have been away from the world since the "Warring States" period, knew the title "Emperor" that appeared from "Emperor Xuanyuan", Lu Yan and Yun Chongbo traveled all over the village, trying to find out the reason, and as a result, they were speechless.

… Everyone also knew this term, because, when they escaped here, the emperor had already ruled the land of Great Xia for hundreds of years.

"I can't see Mount Tai, this is me..."

Only hearing the word "great flood" decided that this village must be the remnants of the Warring States Period, even those who were as fine as Lu Yan forgot to ask more information, and indulged in all kinds of ancient customs and rhymes that were only vaguely seen in the classics every day, and he did not think of other possibilities at all.

This person in the Peach Blossom Garden turned out to be in the chaotic times when the rule of the "Qili Ji Family" began to collapse, and the "Yingfeng Chen Family" was launching a challenge, and fled into this place!

"But they did say that there was a great flood in the whole world, and there was water everywhere... Could it be that there were two great floods? ”

Yun Chongbo's doubts may be reasonable, but when I asked all the villagers, none of them knew that there had been a flood in history, although they also knew the names of the rumored saints who controlled the flood, but in their legends, these people were named for discovering the fire or creating the written word, and they did not do anything related to water control.

The rise of the "Yingfeng Chen family"... At that time, it was only a hundred years after the end of the "Warring States", and in any case, the stories in the mouths of these villagers should be closer to the "truth".

"However, the stories I heard when I was a child all said that the Great Flood was before the First Warring States period... No one ever said there would be two more great floods..."

Completely dazed by these things, Yun Chongbo was also a little dazed, curled up on Lu Yan's side, muttering muttering.

"No, there won't be two great floods, that kind of thing... There won't be twice. ”

The voice was still low, but it was a little more energetic, and Lu Yan propped up the table so that he could sit up straighter.

"If this village is just a lie, then the arrangement of this lie is too elaborate and meaningless, in the end, not every era can appear lucky people who enter the Peach Blossom Spring, so there is only one explanation..."

Standing up from the table, but his legs were weak because of weakness, Lu Yan, who was almost falling, stood up straight with his hands on the table, and that deep light appeared in his eyes again.

"The history we know is actually just a lie, the real flood occurred in the era of the alternation of the Chen family and the Ji family, not in antiquity, but, for some purposes, some people deliberately hide this fact and package it as a myth of antiquity."

"But, but, is this kind of thing possible?!"

Never thought that even "history" could be fake, Yun Chongbo was dumbfounded, his heart was in chaos, and he just followed his own train of thought and said: "However, the whole world has experienced a great flood, and the whole world knows about it, who can wipe out such a thing..."

With a wry smile, Lu Yan said: "Brother Yun, the people at that time were like this, but the people of later generations, people a hundred years and two hundred years later, they have not personally experienced the great flood, and their understanding of 'history' can only be through 'history books'... Do you understand? ”

As if he understood or not, Yun Chongbo sighed and said, "History books... Ah, by the way, the people who compiled the history books were all the emperor's people, that is, it was the emperor at that time who revised the history books and concealed this matter... But it's laborious to fix this kind of thing, so what good can it do for him to do it? ”

Absentmindedly agreed, the calculation in Lu Yan's heart was completely different from what he said about dealing with Yun Chongbo.

(It's not that simple, it's not difficult to revise the history books, but that's just something for the people to see, in addition to the official history books, there are many people who will use many ways to record the truth, to be able to modify all the records and memories of the people, and to modify the secret records of all the families, even the Yingfeng Chen family's own information is not mentioned at all...) Even "we" have completely missing relevant records... This kind of "erasure of history" is by no means something that any family with the surname of the emperor can do, even if it is combined with the full strength of our two families, it is impossible... What kind of organization can have such power, and what kind of truth is hidden after such an action?! ）

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The power of the emperor can move mountains, but it must completely 'erase history'... Hey, no family with the surname can do it. ”

In front of the "Xiaolingwei", who had witnessed the death fight only a day ago, there were "traces of people" who had not been seen for hundreds of years, and "the world's first anti-thief" and his "military advisor" were checking the traces of the fight with great interest.

Hearing Tianji Ziwei's exclamation, Sun couldn't raise his eyebrows slightly, and said, "What does Mr. mean?" ”

Tianji Ziwei smiled faintly and said: "I mean, the Nanchu Duan family tried their best to annihilate everything about this underground palace and disguise it like this, but in just a few hundred years, all kinds of clues that seemed to have disappeared have surfaced one after another, so that we can grasp the things here... And now, looking at it, even the Emperor Jing seems to have dug up something..."As he spoke, he stroked the gate that Emperor Xiangxian didn't enter in the end, and said slowly: "Maybe, it's the 'door key' that we haven't been able to find clues... Hey, if you want to erase it, you can't erase it after all, and in the end, it's just a hard work, why bother the Duan family? ”

At this time, it was just the turn of Yin Mao, the sun was rising in the east, and the wisps of sunlight came through the woods, falling on the face of Tianji Ziwei, and there was a slight light reflected, as if shining on the best white jade, Sun couldn't take a glance, and said with a smile: "Mr. traveled thousands of miles west, and he actually gained a lot, which is gratifying..." ”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Now... The second prince should have chosen to make his identity public and went to the Guadu Yamen to ask for assistance. ”

“… Not. ”

It is still in front of the Dehe Palace, and it is still a big chair, and Emperor Shaojing leans on the back of the chair a little lazily, squinting, basking in the rising sun that is not much warm yet. Behind him is the temple gate, and in the darkness behind the door, is Zhong Da standing quietly, an old man who has almost merged with the darkness in temperament.

"You still insist that the old... Will anyone use this opportunity to assassinate the elephant? ”

“… During the night, the city guard reported that the vanguard of the Qucai Wave Army had arrived by water, and had begun to take over the defense of the two ferries of Pujin and Fengyan. ”

“… Hmm"

"Counting the Jing Cavalry Wangyi Army that has been stationed in Nancheng, the Qiancai Lie Army that controls Dongcheng and takes over the grain road, and raises supplies for the Three Princes' troops, the Ou Cavalry Tengge Army that is deployed outside the city like the Rongbo Army and guards the northern road, and the Yue Cavalry Mud Pill Army that roams outside the city and responds to various armies, as well as the Yangcai Tuifeng Army who guards the palace....Two-thirds of the 'Pingnan Nine Dao Military Horses' have come to the imperial capital."

Instead of answering the emperor's question, Zhong Da still used that kind of emotionless voice to report to him everything that was happening in the city, hearing this, Emperor Shaojing just nodded slowly.

"Training for a thousand days can be used for a while, the fifth... He is doing a good job, and with his army here, the pastoral wind ahead can rest assured. ”

Zhongda's lips squirmed, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't speak, just raised his head slightly, and looked at the sky that was being dyed a little bit along the cornices on his head.

He never answered the emperor's question, but he didn't cause the displeasure of the supreme person, and gently tapped the arm of the chair with the middle finger of his left hand, Emperor Shaojing squinted his eyes, and suddenly said: "Guadu... The legendary place where the bones of the Qi are buried... Hey, interesting. ”

Zhong Da said lightly: "Legends are just legends, if you want to conduct serious research, it is completely untenable, the Great Xia in the era of the Great Flood... No, it should be said that it is the world, there is no concept of melon capital or Yuanzhou at all, and the entire melon capital did not begin to be inhabited until the later period of the Ji family's rule, so how can it be related to the monsters of the Great Flood era? ”

"Monsters..."

Saying with a sigh, Emperor Shaojing stretched his body and said lightly: "But it may be the strongest monster that has ever existed in the legend, the only monster in the legend that has caused the 'Three Emperors and Five Emperors' to suffer defeat, and the monster that the legend can't even subdue the 'Xiyang', the legend is that no one can control it in the 'human realm', forcing the 'Heavenly Realm' to intervene in the Nether Dispute again since the 'Age of Mythology' to suppress the defeated monsters... Hey, what's the difference between such a monster and the 'gods'? Or, by the time it finally falls, will it already be 'God'? ”

His brows twitched, and Zhong Da said: "Yes, this is also the least known part of the 'Legend of Wuzhiqi', but also the most tempting, Wuzhiqi's hands have the key to the Divine Domain, as long as they are loyal to him, they can step into the Divine Domain under his guidance, and have that unparalleled power... Such a legend is indeed tempting. ”

With a grin, Emperor Shaojing smiled and said, "You don't believe it at all." ”

Zhong Da said coldly: "The old slave is just a eunuch, he has no strength, and he doesn't want to hope for power, the old slave just knows that in the history of Great Xia, there are many other legends, which are equally moving." ”

Emperor Shaojing let out a long laugh and said, "Yes." ”

"The money-loving person imagines that there is ten thousand Yi gold, which is at his fingertips, the lustful person imagines that there is an infinite heavenly concubine, day and night, the reader dreams of having the guidance of the immortals, and climbs the head of the turtle overnight, and the seriously ill dream of having a miracle medicine that can cure all diseases... So, of course, there will also be warriors who dream of being able to gain power overnight, without paying a price, without taking risks, and easily gaining power... In the father-in-law's heart, that's how he views the legend of Wuzhiqi, right? ”

Zhong Da's expression did not move, and said: "The old slave just wants to say two things, first, don't say 'Wuzhiqi', that is, 'Three Emperors and Five Emperors', and they are only legendary characters, there is no information to confirm that they really existed, and more importantly, second, everyone knows that the 'Divine Domain' was only discovered in the 'First Warring States', before that, no one could fly in the sky, no one knew what the Divine Domain was... At this time, it has been a long time since the great flood and the era when Wuzhiqi should have survived. ”

Emperor Shaojing snorted and said, "Everyone knows... As a person in the dark world, as a person who can modify history books or various materials that are more confidential than history books, what do you say, 'everyone knows', is it ridiculous? ”

Zhong Da Zhengse said: "No, Your Majesty. ”

"It is precisely because the old slave knows how easy it is to revise the history books, and it is precisely because the old slave knows that there are all kinds of confidential records, that the old slave knows that the so-called 'everyone knows' is almost equivalent to the 'truth', because when the history book is revised, there may be fifty or a thousand pens that are entering the text before the revision into various secret records or transforming it into official novels, miscellaneous songs... The official history is easy to be believed, and the wild history is difficult to cut into the hearts of the people, Your Majesty! ”

Emperor Shaojing said slowly: "That is to say, do you think it is impossible to really 'erase history'?" ”

Zhong Da nodded and said: "It can be erased for a while, but the real history will eventually hide in all kinds of corners, change into various shapes, and pass it quietly, no one can grasp all the details, no one can monitor all the holes, the more important things, the more impossible it is to erase, unless..."

When he said "unless", Zhongda's face twitched suddenly, full of wrinkles like bitter melon, and an expression of awe appeared on Mu Wu's expressionless face.

Without looking back, Di Shaojing didn't seem to notice Zhong Da's abnormality at all, and just said lightly: "Hmm? ”

His body shook for a moment, and Zhongda said slowly: "Unless... No, there can't be any unless, but in the classics of our Guigu Gate, there is indeed a vague record, boasting that in a certain era, with the concerted efforts of a group of Guigu disciples, a very important thing was completely erased from history..."

-------------------------------------------------------------------

In Guadus, in the dark house, the old man sat motionless.

"Home Lord."

Low and submissive, it was Zifan's voice, and as he spoke, he pushed open the door and came in.

"This morning, the second prince came to the Guadu Yamen alone, reported that his attaché was killed by a strongman, and at the same time disclosed his identity, saying that he had come to Yuan Gong on a secret order and asked the Guadu Yamen to fully cooperate."

"Killed by a strongman, hehe..."

With a low laugh of unknown meaning, the old man asked Zifan about some details about Emperor Xiangxian, and finally said: "So, since the current two princes have personally reported the case and asked for justice for his attaché, how are you, the melon who holds the imperial court, too guarded, how are you going to share the worries of the lord?" ”

--------------------------------------------------------------------

"Dare to directly assassinate the second prince's attaché, Guadu is really unfathomable..."

Standing by the window with his hands behind his back, observing the street below through the fine bamboo curtains, Cao Wenyuan frowned and said, "What do you think about this matter?" ”

It was only an hour before Emperor Xiang personally went to Guadu Yamen to "report", and it is said that this news should not be known to everyone, but the news of the sons of the Cao family was obtained from the mouth of the person concerned, which was naturally fast.

"When he came here at night, I was really surprised, I didn't expect that this time the mission was really headed by the second prince, Fengxiao, how did you guess it?"

"Hmm, what did you say?"

was sitting quietly and pondering, Cao Fengxiao's train of thought was interrupted, stunned, and said casually: "It should be his, the third prince has already led the army north, of course, this opportunity can only be left to the second prince, after all, internal and external troubles are combined, and all forces are sharpening their knives and aggressively attacking, and the emperor must also think about what is behind him, so that the two princes can accumulate some prestige as soon as possible..."

Cao Wenyuan was slightly stunned and said, "What did you say?" What happened after the death? ”

Cao Fengxiao's tone froze, Fang Jue was speechless, paused for a moment, and then said, "Yes." ”

Cao Wenyuan frowned, suddenly closed the window, pulled a chair to Cao Fengxiao and sat down, while Cao Zhongkang had already stood up, moved to the door silently, and did not take the chair, so he sat cross-legged on the ground, staring at the door.

Cao Fengxiao sighed and said: "Actually, I have discussed this matter with Zhongde several times, but because the matter is big, and many related things need to get accurate information from the south to be conclusive, and the south direction is not our land, the situation is very unclear, and I am not very sure, so I have only asked my father-in-law once, and I am ready to take the opportunity of this time to gather some more information and contact the people from the Sun and Liu families before making a judgment..." ”

"Feng Chan battle, the emperor was seriously injured, it is difficult to have any hope of recovery, although it is not hindered for the time being, but in the long run, chaos will arise, so it is necessary to take precautions, in case Sun can't go south yet, has already broken the situation by himself..."

Fang Dao: "For the sake of the aftermath, the emperor has begun to deal with us." ”

Seeing Cao Wenyuan's face change slightly, Cao Fengxiao smiled and said, "But it won't be a direct move for the time being, and it won't be us who will bear the brunt, it should be Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Sun, so we still have a lot of room to maneuver." ”

He said word for word: "This time, the leveling of the Southern Nine Dao Army Horse and the Northern Return is actually the first stab against Taifu Liu and Taibao Sun. ”

The Pingnan Nine Dao Army Horse is the collective name of the Qu Cavalry Rongbo Army, the Qian Cavalry Lie Army, the Luo Cavalry Jiaoyuan Army, the Yue Cavalry Mud Pill Army, the Yang Cavalry Tuifeng Army, the Ou Cavalry Tengge Army, the Jing Cavalry Wangyi Army, the Red Cavalry Qi Guo Army, and the Yuan Cavalry Menghong Army, totaling about 15 to 200,000 powerful troops.

"The terroir of Songming and Songming is different, the people are fierce, the wealthy are divided, and the local fish and dragons are mixed, in fact, it is a very restless place."

The terroir of the two states of Songming in the south is very different from the Central Plains, hot and humid, the mountains and rivers are continuous, the miasma of snakes and beasts, the degree of development is naturally far lower than that of Sanghantang Prefecture and other places, although the place connected by the official road also has no less than the huge metropolis of the central states, but as soon as it leaves the post road, it is full of mountains and forests, often there is a small city in the mountains and forests for dozens of miles, except for each other in the middle of the mountain road to rely on waterway traffic, it is extremely inconvenient, the people also have many different races, the language and customs are very different, since ancient times it is a place that is difficult to govern, and the people are in turmoil frequently.

"The total number of military horses in Pingnan Jiudao is not large, but what is valuable is that they have extremely high motivation and are familiar with the southern terrain, not afraid of mountains and rivers, and not afraid of evil miasma."

For many years in Tunnan, the nine military horses have been slowly transformed and reshaped according to the local terroir, which is almost the same as the local aborigines. The Yue Cavalry Mud Pill Army is one of the three major cavalry in the world, running like lightning, it is said that it can travel more than 500 miles in one day and night, and it can still attack without sleeping; The red cavalry ruler Guo Jun is good at walking mountain roads, climbing rocks and mountains like flat ground, and has had the experience of rope down from the cliff of 100 zhang, striking the heart of the chaotic army, and winning a big victory; Yuan cavalry Menghong army is good at dispersing for war, the ability to survive is very strong, a team of three people, a group of five people sneaking into the mountains and forests, it is not a little nourishing, but also dozens of days without harm, although it is not very able to gather together to fight a big battle, but when it comes to the ability to detect and destroy, the end is unsurpassed; There are craftsmen in the army of Qu Cai, who can build giant loach ships, and there are capable sailors who are not calculating, driving away like royal war horses, and I don't know how many water victories have been fought...

"Therefore, in the past ten years, the two states of Songming have been relatively peaceful, but under the Taiping, there are countless bloody battles guaranteed, at this point, it can be seen from the imperial court's newspaper, and, it is precisely for this reason that if the main force of the Nine Dao military horses is transferred back now, there will inevitably be a vacuum in the south, on the one hand, the mountains and forests will sprout different aspirations again, on the other hand, the Taiping Dao has long been ready to move, and when it comes to such a stimulus, even if the people above are still sober, the middle and lower Daoists are afraid that they can't hold back..."

Speaking of this, Cao Wenyuan couldn't help but say: "I've thought about this too, but Sun can't keep an eye on it in the north, peeping day and night, if the south regenerates and becomes chaotic, wouldn't it be the enemy on the back of the belly, the emperor... What's in it for you? ”

With a wry smile, Cao Fengxiao said: "Wenyuan, I know that you don't bother to ask about the matter of money and grain, but how much money is spent by the Jingshi every month, and where do they come from, do you always have a number?" ”

Cao Wenyuan thought for a while and said: "Well, I've only seen this list, and now the money and grain of the Jingshi are mainly used in the two states of Sangtang, accounting for nearly half, and then the order is Yuan Hanqinsong, which is eighty or ninety percent, and it is the three states of Qingming and Jin again..."

Cao Fengxiao laughed astringently: "Understood, Wenyuan, at present, the entry of the two states of Songming does not occupy the needs of the imperial court, and it can even be said that they will lose the income of the two states, and within a year and a half, they will also support it." ”

Cao Wenyuan's face sank, and he said, "But, some people can't hold on, right?" ”

Cao Fengxiao nodded slowly and said, "Yes." ”

"If the chaos in the south arises, the three families of Liu Sun and Li and even other southern clans will no longer have the nine military horses as a screen, and they will inevitably show their strength to confront the rebels of the Quartet or the rebels of the Taiping Dao, in terms of the strength of the families, at most it is to suppress the rebels again, but it is impossible to defeat the Taiping Dao, but it will not collapse and be invincible, and as long as the momentum is complete, no matter what the final result is, the emperor is the winner!"

When the two were talking, Cao Zhongkang suddenly sighed, and the two of them sounded at the same time, seeing Cao Zhongkang stand up, push the door open, and see someone hurrying upstairs to come.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

"You actually put the second prince in the Pilu Courtyard?"

The future has been sent away, Cao Fengxiao frowned, thinking hard about what this news meant.

Pilu Courtyard, about 30 miles away from Guadu City, in the Bang of Huaishui, half according to the mountain, belongs to the "Pure Land Sect" among the four sects of Buddhism, this is the famous jungle of Yuanzhou, the incense was once extremely prosperous, but since the decline of Guadu, it has gradually declined, only because of its excellent location, and the magnificence of the river, the depth of the bamboo mountain, it has an unusual taste, and far away from the city, not stained with hustle and bustle, it is the first resort in Guadu, the current Guadu Taishou "Kang Zifan" will be placed in the emperor first with this, it can be regarded as quite a knot.

"However, the second prince's entourage was all assassinated, which has made it clear that someone dares to do something disrespectful, what does it mean to put him in the suburbs at this time?"

According to the news inquired, Kang Zifan is actually careful, a total of only about 2,000 people in the Guadu garrison, half of them were transferred to the area around the Pilu Courtyard, and even transferred the slightly more capable capture and fast officials in the Guadu Yamen, and the battle was considered to be huge, but in the eyes of generals like Cao Wenyuan and Cao Zhongkang, who had really fought in the sea of blood, those lazy soldiers who could be regarded as "regimental training" at best had no combat effectiveness at all. If there are really masters to stab, even if there are a thousand people, I am afraid it is better to bring all the masters who came to Guadu this time together.

"Of course, we were all single-lined, and we didn't disclose our identities when we entered the city, and even now, we don't know how many people have come here this time. The second prince is the only one who knows best, but at least he didn't ask us to go with him, so is he still not wanting the forces in Guadu City to know how many cards he has, or is the artist bold enough to believe that the killer who can assassinate his attaché is not yet a threat to him? ”

The more his brows furrowed, Cao Fengxiao took his hands and paced slowly in the room, muttering in his mouth: "Guadu Yamen... They have two possibilities, either they have something to do with the person who assassinated the second prince's attaché or at least have some information, or they are really innocent and spotless. ”

"If it is the former, arranging the second prince like this is likely to create another chance for the killers, however, the consequences will be quite serious, once the second prince dies here, the responsibility is unshirkable, and it will definitely give a lot of people who 'desire' or 'need' to express their stance a chance, unless he is ready to abscond or rebel, otherwise, at most, in a month, the imperial army will inevitably crush him to ashes... Oh, by the way, of course, there should also be people who have sent people to Guadus, and they also need to 'atone for their sins'... Unless it's because of 'hatred', no one will play such a certain deathly move..."

"And if it doesn't matter at all, if it's innocent, it's almost stupid... Judging from the resume of the ministry, Kang Zifan has been awarded the "Pingcai", "Honest Shou", the most "Pingzheng", and has been "diligent government" three times, and six years ago he was awarded the "Zhuo Yi" twice in a row for his meritorious service in arresting and stealing and the place of discouragement, he is a foreign official from a poor family, and he can do the job of Taishou is also because of this, if it seems like this, he should be familiar with the criminal name and public security, and know some things about the army, and it should not be like this..."

Cao Wenyuan hadn't read these materials carefully, and when he heard him say it, although it was clear, he also felt that there was a blur in front of him, and he said casually: "Oh, he turned out to be a Hanmen, I thought he should have something to do with the Xie family of Chenjun, so that he could be a stable guard here..." Unconsciously stretched out his hand and slapped it heavily on the table next to him, and said: "I said why did I always feel that there was something I couldn't think clearly, it turned out to be the Xie family of Chen Jun, and I actually forgot about them!" ”

When he spoke, his expression was quite excited, his face turned a lot redder, and the faster he walked, he said as he walked: "Xie family... Yes, that's right... They have been called the 'Langya Wang Family' for thousands of years, and their roots are far deeper than those of a family like ours that are only a few hundred years old, even if there is such a heavy blow, it is impossible to exhaust their inner bag, and there must be at least enough power to control the Guadu area, Kang Zifan can be stable here, it is impossible not to cooperate with them, and they should also have a very good reason to show loyalty to the imperial capital..."Before he could say it, he was intercepted by Cao Wenyuan and frowned: "Fengxiao, what are you talking about?" ”

Cao Fengxiao smiled and said: "I mean, even if the mountains and seas outside are dry, but the hundred-legged insects are dead but not stiff, a thousand-year-old family like the Xie family will definitely retain a considerable core combat power, and why, in the power that Kang Zifan mobilized to go to the Pilu Courtyard, there is no shadow of the Xie family at all?" ”

Cao Wenyuan thought for a while and said: "Maybe they really don't have the capital, maybe they just don't want to be exposed, so as to save the fear of the killer and not come to grab the credit..."

"Yes, and there's another reason, if it's the Second Prince's own request to lure those assassins out, we should at least get a clear signal about when we can start heading towards the Pilu Courtyard... Therefore, I dare to assert that this time the matter must not be the meaning of the second prince, but there must be someone from the Xie family behind! ”

Looking at the categorical Cao Fengxiao, Cao Wenyuan still had doubts, and said: "However, Fengxiao, according to what you said, this is not right, and that is not good... So, what is the role of the Xie family? ”

Without answering, Cao Fengxiao walked quickly to the corner of the room, picked up a palm from a basin of clear water and wiped it on his face, which was even more energetic, and said: "Wenyuan, Zhongkang, call up the wine and rice to eat, and rest early after eating." ”

Cao Wenyuan said strangely: "It's still far from noon... What exactly are you going to do? ”

Cao Fengxiao smiled and said: "Eat early and go to bed early, take care of your spirits, and as soon as it gets dark, we will set off and go to Pilu Courtyard..."

As he laughed, his eyes gradually sharpened, but his smile was still the same, and even more obviously free and amiable.

"Let's go to the rescue."
