Chapter 100: The Wonderful Drifting of Fang Qizhang
"Ah Qi, don't go with them! It's a big deal that all the food at home will be handed over to them, and we don't believe that God won't give us a way to live! A middle-aged aunt in Yancheng, Huaidong Road, dragged her son and told him not to be threatened by those people to become a soldier. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Fang Qizhang looked at his mother who suffered from eye disease, she was only in her forties, and her eyes basically couldn't see clearly, and her mother had struggled in this world for half her life, and her body was always bowing, which made people inexplicably bitter. There was no sadness in Fang Qizhang's voice, his voice naturally had a clean and pure taste, although he was bitter in his heart, but there was a smile on his face: "Mother, don't worry, I will be fine with Brother Adao." Although his mother may not be able to see it, he firmly believes that his smiling face can be transmitted to his mother through his voice.
Li Quan's army disturbed the two Huai, wantonly arrested the strong men, and stipulated that if you join your own army, you can be exempted from the collection of food to protect the people, as the name suggests, you can protect you from robbers by handing over the grain, as for the specific bandit is unknown whether the bandit is a soldier or a bandit.
When Fang Qizhang heard him talk about Brother Dao, her face suddenly fell: "That thief has no conscience, when he becomes a soldier, his conscience becomes so ugly, and the disaster is next to him, you said that he voted for the court back then, how did he become a thief?" ”
"It's all a last resort, and everyone is a little hard, mother! I'm leaving, I'll be coming to see you before winter! Brother Jiu, I'm not here, you're the only one left in the family, take good care of your mother. Fang Qizhang explained that he wanted to enlist in the army as soon as possible, so that Li Quan's army could leave the village.
Lao Jiu looked like an old man at the age of thirteen, looked at this somewhat unreliable brother, and said with a sad face: "Seventh brother, don't always smile at people in the future, you will be treated as a fool." ”
Fang Qizhang flicked on Lao Jiu's nose: "Really, just say these words to your brother, I'm leaving!" ”
Fang Qizhang's mother listened to the footsteps of Fang Qizhang leaving, and she couldn't cry, I am afraid that this time I am afraid that heaven and man will be separated forever.

Outside the city of Yangzhou, Li Quan seized a hot air balloon in the arsenal of other counties, although he heard the military master Zong Xiongwu talk about the importance of this hot air balloon in reconnoitring the enemy's situation, but no one dared to sit on it, and the lowly soldiers were afraid that the soul would not come back with the hot air balloon flying into the sky.
And Li Quan was also suspicious of this hot air balloon, afraid that it was Zhao Zheng's demon method and trap, and he was not ready to let the Shandong elite who followed him to experiment with the hot balloon, so he asked the head of each battalion to give a lecture and a heavy prize, and let others get on the hot air balloon to observe the dispatch of the Yangzhou defenders through the clairvoyant.
But those soldiers looked at the dizzying bounty, and they didn't dare even more, if it wasn't for death, why would the king put a heavy bounty, most of the people at the bottom of the ancient world believed in ghosts and gods, and some people might dare to do this head-killing business, but they didn't dare to do things that angered the ghosts and gods and made their own generations uncomfortable.
And when Du Tou was speaking, he happened to look at Fang Qizhang with a smile on his face, so he pulled him out directly: "Are you questioning the king's words?" ”
Fang Qizhang shook his head, there was no fear on his face, only sunshine and a smile: "No!" ”
But the head was enraged by this smile, damn! The morale of the full camp was low, what did you bird man laugh at, so he directly buttoned him a hat: "Okay, since you laughed, it means that you agree with the king's words, it's you, sit on the celestial sphere!" ”
The hot air balloon is the name popularized by Zhao Zheng, and it is only widely circulated in the Baiyun Palace and officialdom, and many people have privately named it the Ascension Ball. This ascension to heaven and ascension to heaven is not a good sign when you hear it.
Fang Qizhang listened to Dutou and said, he can see any place in this world with a clairvoyant mirror on this heavenly ascending ball, he has been away from home for a few months, and he has also seen his brothers in the same camp die on the battlefield, and naturally he also knows that it will be difficult to see his mother and younger brother in this life, and he also wants to use this celestial ascending ball to see his hometown Yancheng and his relatives.

When Fang Qizhang after a short period of training, after understanding some simple flags, he was thrown into the hot air balloon, and at this time the Yangzhou defenders suddenly attacked the camp and rushed into battle, Fang Qizhang looked at the flintlock pistol and plate armor as if he was a demon, and then cut the rope of the hot air balloon with a gentle knife, and then the hot air balloon lost control, as the glass oil lamp continued to add heat to the hot air balloon, the hot air balloon rose higher and higher, uncontrolled turbidity with the wind.
Fang Qizhang stood on the hot air balloon and faced the sudden one in horror, and then he took out his glasses tremblingly to see the situation he was in, and then a strange scene happened, the mountains and rivers under him suddenly became so small, and the awe became small, and the unattainable Yangzhou city wall also became short and abnormal, and why was there a teenager standing at the head of the Yangzhou city wall, hey, he seemed to be looking at me, he was envious that I could ascend to heaven? Fang Qizhang seemed to have suddenly found a novel toy, greedily looking at the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers in this world, but he never found his hometown, maybe he didn't fly high enough, he thought, so he opened the valve of the oil lamp.
However, as the hot air balloon flew higher and higher, the clouds in the sky seemed to be within reach, Fang Qizhang thought that if he flew to the heavenly court and disturbed the sweet dreams of the immortals, how would he explain it, would he be annoyed that a mortal dared to spy on the heavenly court, and then there was no residue left in the direct bombardment of the gods?
And what is the fairy in the sky like? Is there a village head that pretty widow is pretty?
If that immortal looks at me pleasing to the eye, will he take me as an apprentice and teach me the immortal method?
Fang Qizhang was both excited and frightened, the hot air balloon was already close to the clouds, and then the air began to become cold, like the coldest morning in winter, and then it became difficult to breathe.
Fang Qizhang hurriedly put on the warm clothes in the big frame under the hot air balloon, the highest record of the hot air balloon in later generations flew to a height of more than 10,000 meters, the current hot air balloon will definitely not meet this standard, and no one has experimented, they are all tied with ropes, and the highest is to fly to a height of five or six hundred meters to reconnoitre. However, the temperature on the ground is already much colder, so military hot air balloons will be prepared with warm clothes and a small amount of dry food.
Generally, the low cloud height is also about 3,000 meters, and the hot air balloon in Fang Qizhang is exactly this height, but the cold air, and the glass lamp heating device are not good enough, so that the cold air is poured in, and the fire inside is extinguished, and the air inside the hot air balloon loses heating and begins to slowly decline.
Fang Qizhang stretched out his hand outside the hot air balloon and touched the clouds that were out of sight on weekdays, wanting to see what it was, but he couldn't touch the entity, just like the fog in the early morning, there was nothing magical.
This made Fang Qizhang feel very disappointed, the things in the sky turned out to be so ordinary, he then squatted down, the lack of oxygen in the air made him curl up in the big frame, dazed and a little sleepy.
The process of the hot air balloon descent suddenly encountered a stream of air, bumped, and woke Fang Qizhang up, because the height dropped a lot, the situation of lack of oxygen was greatly improved, Fang Qizhang hurriedly checked the situation in the oil lamp, and saw that there was still a lot of lamp oil in it, and he was relieved, so he took out the fire fold and re-ignited, and then the hot air balloon slowly rose into the air. When it rose to the vicinity of the clouds, the oil lamp was blown out by the cold wind, and the hot air balloon began to fall, and so on several times. Fang Qizhang was completely confused, in this broad daylight, wouldn't the higher he flew, the closer he was to the sun? How did it get colder and colder, and what was the reason for this difficulty breathing? Don't the gods breathe? A series of questions made Fang Qizhang's worldview completely shake.
After two days, Fang Qizhang completely figured out the situation, and no longer rashly increased the ignition switch, but controlled the flame size of the oil lamp, controlled the height, and let the hot air balloon float with the turbulence.
The things on the hot air balloon had already been eaten, Fang Qizhang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and there was a bottle of slow lamp oil in the big frame, Fang Qizhang thought about when all this was a head, and whether he would be starved to death! Every time the oil in the oil lamp burned out, Fang Qizhang thought about it, don't add fuel to it, fall from the sky and die, but every time he obviously felt that the hot air balloon was falling, he still gritted his teeth and added lamp oil to it, in case he was bumped into by a certain immortal and saw that he saved him with sincerity?
Then one night, he completely lost consciousness in the bamboo basket and landed outside Huzhou City.
Huzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhao Zheng's Taoism has long been spread there, both the people and the people in the rivers and lakes know that the heater is a fairy weapon refined by the national teacher, and the Baiyun Taoist Temple is experimenting with the performance of this hot air balloon every day.
Then Fang Qizhang was lucky to be found in the suburbs, when Fang Qizhang woke up, he found himself lying on a bed of straw, Fang Qizhang looked around, and described this house as good as the four walls of the house, the walls built with trees and stones at will, and the half of the roof that was not covered, let Fang Qizhang understand that it was just a poor family that saved himself.
When Fang Qizhang was thinking wildly, a cripple walked in, he covered half of his face with his hair, and the exposed half was extremely stunning, although it was stained.
"Thank you for saving me!" Fang Qizhang struggled to stand up.
The lame man's hand seemed to be a little stiff, and he took out a steamed bun from his arms and ate it by himself.
Before Fang Qizhang could say the words he had postponed, he withdrew his hand with some embarrassment.
"Big brother, may I ask what kind of place is this?"
The cripple didn't answer, and looked at him coldly: "Baiyun Daoist?" ”
Since Zhao Zheng's reputation had not yet spread to Lianghuai at that time, Fang Qizhang naturally had not heard of Baiyun Taoist Temple in his hometown, and shook his head.
"And who are you?" The lame man said that he divided a small half of the steamed bun to Fang Qizhang.
"Soldier."
The lame man sighed, and then said coldly: "Fortunately, you are not from Baiyun Taoist Temple, eat this half of the steamed bun and leave." ”
Although Fang Qizhang's body was still weak, he didn't want to trouble him when he heard the lame man's eviction order: "Please also ask Engong to leave his name, and I will repay Engong for saving his life in the future." ”
The lame man laughed sneeringly: "You can feed yourself first, but the kindness of this thing really has to be paid off as soon as possible, okay, I can do it today, you should thank me for saving my life if you find a hundred times!" ”
