Chapter 1: Meet and Greet

According to the original book of the Book of Jin: In May 330, Shi Le killed Liu Zheng Kou Nansha and Xu Ru, the commander of the capital, and entered Haiyu. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, when Xi Jian ambushed Liu Zheng at Nansha Wharf, this period of history of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had changed, and the Haikou Rebellion was small, but the territory of the Eastern Jin Dynasty could no longer be invaded by the Hu people.

Liu Zheng was defeated, Xu Ru was still alive, and Xu Ru's son Xu Ling was sent back safely.

Shi Hu dropped his gun from the bow of the ship and picked dozens of people to come to Xi Jian, although the two were nearly thirty years old, but Xi Jian's majesty was undiminished, the two fought in the moonlight, and finally Shi Hu escaped with minor injuries.

Liu Zheng's right eye was gone, and Shi Zhao's youngest marksman fell.

Liu Zheng vowed to kill the person who had his right eye gone, but everyone didn't know who this person was.

After that, in order to completely pacify Donghai County, Xi Jian received the order of the imperial court and temporarily stationed in Haiyu, and Xu Ru, the commander of Siyan, cooperated with his actions.

This change has gently flowed through the long river of history.

At this time, Xie An and Shen Jin's light boat had rowed through countless rivers of different widths and narrows in the south of the Yangtze River.

Mangqi crops, busy farming in May, insects and flowers bloom in early summer, the return journey is full of gentleness and intoxication of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, but at this time the south of the Yangtze River has not been fully developed, and the uncultivated land can still be seen in the area of Jingkou when the boat ferry.

Jingkou is an important military defense town in the east leading to Jiankang, just because there is a canal between the two cities.

Xie An sat on the passenger boat and suddenly remembered the winter day in the second year of Taining, when he was still sick and returned to Jiankang with his eldest brother Xie Yi, when the snow and fog were boundless, the river weather was misty, and the whole Jiankang City seemed to be hidden in the depths of the picture scroll in front of him, distant and unfamiliar.

Now it's a different story.

Jiankang City in early summer is the most wonderful, on the bank of the Qinhuai River, in the depths of Wuyi Lane, countless early blooming pomegranate flowers are burning like sparks, if you encounter a rain or strong wind, you can also see the falling flowers flying, sweeping over the black tile and white wall, such as the beauty of the lead face lightly falling cinnabar, stunning and beautiful.

Xie An quietly returned to Jiankang, but Jiankang City was still far away from him, Jiankang was surrounded by mountains and cities, and the suburbs extended for dozens of miles, all called Jiankang.

He and Shen Jin got off the boat and rode on the mountain road in the setting sun.

Countless black crows taking advantage of the night like a city, they swept the tail of the setting sun, and the dark wings were not stained with a trace of bright color, Xie An suddenly saw a red crow, flying from the direction of Jiankang City.

Since ancient times, there is a legend of "the crow announces the good news, there is Zhou Xing" to praise the crow, "the crow feeds back, the lamb kneels to the milk" This statement shows that the crow is a filial piety bird, and Sima's "rule the world with filial piety" concept is the same, so when returning, it is a good thing to see the crow flying overhead.

And red jays are even rarer.

The red crow stopped in front of a small Taoist temple in the mountains, Xie An rarely came to the suburbs to seek a Taoist temple before, so this was the first time he moved his mind to enter the Taoist temple.

There was also a handsome young Taoist standing in front of the Taoist temple, and the red crow stopped on his shoulder, and the young Taoist gently stroked the wings of the red crow with his fingers, and his temperament was warm between his eyebrows.

The scholars believe in the Tao of the Heavenly Master, and the mother of the second brother Xie Ju also often lives in the Taoist temple, not to mention the second brother who has been immersed in the Tao of the Heavenly Master since childhood, so he said the names of Xizhi and Hu Zhi next door, and the names with the word "zhi" are all related to Taoism.

He is an atheist and has no faith, although he will often be swayed by the various reasons of Penglai Pavilion.

Approaching the door, the so-called homesickness, Xie An's brain was hot and said to Shen Jin: "Ah Jin, do you want to go in and worship the Heavenly Master?" ”

Shen Jin didn't have much eyes, and said honestly: "I cultivate martial arts, not Xuan." ”

Obviously, one was at the top of the mountain and the other were at the bottom of the mountain, but the voice of the little Taoist priest passed through the layers of trees and fell on the ears of the two, "Xiao Langjun, the journey is tiring, why don't you come here to rest for a while?" ”

Shen Jin was alert and whispered: "This person's cultivation is profound. ”

"He's not very old, and I can catch up with him no matter how much I practice." Xie An sighed, dismounted by himself, and walked towards the little Taoist priest in front of the small Taoist temple with his legs open.

Since tossing at the beach for more than half a year, Xie An's physical strength has gradually grown, the slope of the mountain is not high, as long as the hundred steps are breathed properly, he will soon be able to reach the top, but the stone steps are narrow, and most of them are sandwiched by shrubs.

The children of the family are formally important, and there can be no mistakes in the three aspects of clothing and appearance, although they can indulge in a small gathering in private. Xie An thought of his slightly tanned face at this moment, coupled with the dust of the hurry, and the torn robe, he was really indulgent.

Xiaodaoren seemed to think the same way, seeing that Xie An's forehead was not sweaty, and he came to him refreshingly and cleanly, he couldn't help but praise: "Energetic, vigorous and flying, and his posture is like a cloud, Xie Jiasanlang, it is better to meet than to be famous." ”

Xie An was so praised that he blushed and asked, "Do you recognize me?" ”

The little Taoist priest didn't speak, and was called twice by the red crow, and then he seemed to understand the crow's language, nodded and said: "Because someone asked the star last night and knew that you would come back, I was specially ordered to wait here to wash away the dust for Xiao Langjun." ”

The tail of the little Taoist priest was clear, Xie An only felt that countless flying flowers were raised around him, and for a while, the flowers were charming, and he seemed to be in a state of indulgence, and as far as he could see, how could there be any Taoist temples and Taoist priests, only the vast mountains and seas and clouds stood in the flying flowers, and the mountain, which was originally only a few hundred meters, was thousands of feet high for a while.

The real and the fantasy gradually merged, Xie An frowned, and decisively decided to capture the red crow that had not disappeared. Just as he chased a cunning fish in the sea, he discerned the path of the crow that he wanted to fly away, caught it in mid-air, and firmly choked its neck.

At the same time, Xie An said coldly: "There is nothing originally, where can I cause dust?" ”

The red crow crows ugly, the tail rises and falls several times in the illusion, the flowers fall and the clouds disperse, the mountains and seas are closed in the sleeves of the little Taoist priest Xuan and white, the sunset is scarce, the night is rising, and the three people who stop in front of the Taoist temple are dyed with a layer of ghostly light.

Shen Jin stepped forward and wanted to beat this little Taoist, Xie An pinched the red crow that was fluttering by himself, and smiled modestly at the little Taoist: "If you have something to say, otherwise you want to fight?" ”

The little Taoist priest was probably frightened by his barbaric behavior, and pinched the bird with his bare hands, he must have never seen this thing, and this is a red crow artifact that is too auspicious to be auspicious!

The little Taoist priest was stunned, and hurriedly put away his unfathomable expression, "Don't, don't get me wrong, Xiaodao just came to try Xiao Langjun's talent, and now it seems that he is really talented......"

Xie An threw away the red crow that was pinched to the point of dying, and the red crow regained his life, not daring to scream or peck him, but hid in a tree on the side to comb its feathers with great grievance.

Shen Jin said angrily: "Lead us up the mountain, what are you doing?" ”

The little Taoist priest pointed to the direction of Qingyun Pagoda, the most obvious tower in Jiankang City in the distance, "The family teacher will wait for Xie Jiazaburo in Qingyun Pagoda ten days later." ”

Xie An asked, "I don't know which master your master is?" ”

The little Taoist priest pointed at the red crow with a mysterious expression, "I can't say it now, but when the time comes, Xiao Langjun will naturally know." ”

Xie An was speechless, "You Heavenly Masters, don't you all like to try before speaking?" In case the next time I go to see your master, and he lets me enter the Xuan Realm again, I have to be mentally prepared, you must know that I am still a child, and I will be very tired if I use my Xuan power at every turn. ”

The little Taoist priest was dumbfounded.

So Xie An and Shen Jin went down the mountain empty-handed and inexplicably, they didn't drink the tea, they were still stained with blue ears, and their robes were even more torn by thorns.

"Am I stupid? I would have listened to you if I had known, what kind of mountain to go to. ”

Xie An looked at Jiankang City in front of him, leaving his hometown timidity behind, Shen Jin shook his head with a wry smile, and the two of them spurred their horses,

In front of the Taoist temple, the little Taoist priest wrote down what Xie An had just said in the illusion "There is nothing originally, where to stir up dust" on a piece of paper, and then let the red crow fly back to Jiankang City with it in his mouth.

"One sentence can break the sea of clouds illusion taught to me by Magu, this son's future is limitless, but Jiankang City is like a cage, it depends on whether you can break through the barrier!"

The little Taoist priest sat in front of the deserted Taoist temple, his legs crossed, breathing in the wind, as if waiting for the moonlight to come.

In Jiankang City, Xie An and Shen Jin stepped on the grass when the city gate was about to close, and if they didn't report their home, naturally no one would recognize the ragged and dusty Xie Jiasanlang.

To the north of Suzaku Bridge, the prosperity will not be weakened by the arrival of night.

The ox carts of the returning taxis were busy, and the people on horseback were naturally very abrupt.

Xie An rode into Wuyi Alley, and was so shocked that the guard brother wanted to raise the whip to stop him, but he saw Xie An turn around and smile, "It's me, Brother Zhu Chang!" ”

The guard Zhu Chang was stunned for a moment, firstly, he was amazed by Xie An's hearty smile in the sunset, and secondly, he was frightened by the tone that Xie Jiazaburo had never had.

Because usually, doesn't Xie Jia Saburo only smile gently? He didn't speak loudly, and how could the children of the family remember the name of one of his little guards? Do you still call him "Brother Zhu"?

Can Xie Jia Saburo be called a big brother? On weekdays, even the young master of the Huan family didn't wait for treatment!

Zhu Chang was flattered and stood in place, seeing that the young man's posture of turning over and falling off the horse was really beautiful...... No, this Xie Jia Saburo...... Haven't you been missing for more than half a year? Is it rumored that he has died outside?

Zhu Chang watched Xie An fall off the horse and tidy up his clothes from a distance, as if he was no longer a child who was like a glutinous rice dumpling when he first met a few years ago, but a tall teenager like bamboo shoots.

It's just that I haven't been gone for more than half a year, and when I come back, I seem to have changed from a child to a teenager.

"Still alive...... That's nice. ”
