Chapter Ninety-Five: A Trip to the Valley of Ghosts 1

Out of the imperial study, Zheng Junyan returned to the Ministry of Rites and set off for Guigu after a little tidying up

The Guigu faction is located in a valley in the dense forest of Yangcheng in Yingchuan (near present-day Xucheng Township, Dengfeng County, Henan Province), and it is difficult for outsiders to find it without a guide or a detailed map. Along the map drawn by the pigeon, Zheng Junyan led people to walk through the sheep intestine trail in the secret jungle, about an hour or so, everyone's eyes suddenly opened up, a small village like a fantasy world appeared in front of everyone's eyes, constantly turning the east wind wheel and the waterwheel, a small water wheel in front of the wooden village archway continued to drive the water flow, like a meandering water, slowly flowing through the small bridge in front of the door, looking from near and far, Zheng Junyan They found that the farmers here were actually using the machine ox to work, The lush crops, the rising smoke, and the children running and frolicking all indicate the peace here, and everything in front of him seems to have deeply touched Zheng Junyan's heart

Walking to the entrance of the village, Zheng Junyan waved his hand to stop everyone, he only took his personal entourage and slowly walked across the small bridge at the entrance of the village, and came to an old farmer who was farming. ”

But what the farmer did next surprised Zheng Junyan very much

"Your Excellency is polite, the old man is polite." The old farmer put the hoe beside him and returned a very standard literati etiquette to Zheng Junyan

Zheng Junyan was stunned for a moment, then clenched his fists and asked, "Dare to ask this old man, I don't know if Mr. Lu Cilu, the head of the Guigu faction, is in this village." ”

"You came to find Old Man Lu, he is in this village, you keep walking inside, and you will find him when you go to the innermost." The old farmer said to Zheng Junyan

"Thank you, uncle, I will say goodbye late." Zheng Junyan beckoned, summoned the retinue carrying gifts and ten samurai to accompany him, and went straight to the village

This small village is not big, there are only about 30 families, and the population is only 100 people, but there is a part of the peace that the outside world lacks, and there is a lot of scene in the Peach Blossom Spring written by Tao Yuanming in the Jin Dynasty, the people in the village are very curious to look at Zheng Junyan's team, curious about what they are doing here, and Zheng Junyan is also surprised by the magic of this village, such as in front of him, a few teenage children quickly and neatly assembled some scattered small parts into a small wind mill that is only a person high

Zheng Junyan walked up to a middle-aged man, clasped his fists and saluted: "This eldest brother, dare to ask Lu Ci where Mr. Lu's family lives." ”

"Look at the small circular building in front, where the village chief lives." The middle-aged man pointed to the small circular building and said to Zheng Junyan

"Thank you for this big brother, I will say goodbye to my late life."

After Zheng Junyan finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, when the middle-aged man suddenly stopped Zheng Junyan and asked, "This adult, can you ask what happened to our village chief?" And how did you find this place? ”

Zheng Junyan said to the middle-aged man and the people around him: "Wansheng came to find Mr. Lu this time, and the good news is that first, my Concubine De of the Great Song Dynasty just gave birth to a princess for my emperor a few days ago, and then Chu Lu is about to get married to Lord Chu, and Wansheng specially invited Mr. Lu to attend the wedding. ”

"Chu Luli is going to get married to that kid?? Is it a marriage with peony? At this time, an aunt who was watching asked excitedly

"Peony? I don't know this late life, I only know that Mrs. Chu is the younger sister of Lord Chu, I heard that the two were married by their sons, and they were married by Banzai himself, and Mrs. Chu was also named Mrs. Sanpin. Zheng Junyan said

"Oh, listen, the peonies are all Lady Fate." The aunt said happily to the people around her

"Who is your Concubine De, why did she give birth to a child and come to our village to report the good news, how could she have a map of our ghost valley." The middle-aged man at the beginning said again.

"Today's holy Concubine Niangniang is the younger sister of Lord Chu, and she is also a member of your Guigumen, so she will naturally come to report the good news in her later life."

"Oh, listen to it, listen to it, Yun'er's girl is a concubine, and she is still a second-grade concubine, how about it, the hexagram I calculated back then was not accurate hahaha, and I will see who dares to say that my Lao Luo's hexagram is not accurate." As soon as he heard that Chu Yun had become the imperial concubine, the middle-aged man jumped up excitedly and said

"Who said you were right, your first hexagram back then clearly showed that our Yun'er died unexpectedly, why is it here again now." A middle-aged woman with a well-proportioned figure but a relatively tall and strong figure said

"What nonsense are you talking about, why don't you say my second and third hexagrams, pick my first hexagram and say it, I said that the first hexagram was not accurate." The middle-aged man who called himself Luo Daxian said with a blushing face

"Hey, I said old radish, don't die duck with a hard mouth, your hexagram is really not as good as your eldest son, you better learn how to arrange troops from your wife." At this time, another uncle who watched the excitement said to him

"Hmph, this seat doesn't care about you mortals." As he was talking, this Luo Daxian came to Zheng Junyan's side and said to him: "This adult, aren't you looking for our village chief, go, go, I'll take you there." In order to find a step down, the old radish took the initiative to send Zheng Junyan over

"Then there is the big brother Lao." Zheng Junyan didn't break it, but said to him politely

Zheng Junyan followed the man surnamed Luo and thought as he walked: Is this village really a Guigu faction? Why do people here want to be scammers who cheat money on the streets

"My lord, the village chief's house has arrived, and I will help you shout." Before Zheng Junyan could answer these words, Lao Luo yelled at Xiaolou: "Village Chief, your family is a guest, and you are a friend of Han Qing~"

This loud roar shocked Zheng Junyan and almost bled from his seven orifices, Zheng Junyan didn't understand how there could be such a loud sound, and his blood was shocked

At this time, one of Zheng Junyan's guards saw that his adult was shaken by the shock, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said to him: "My lord, this person uses a lion's roar, hurry up and calm down and breathe slowly." ”

"What lion roar?" Zheng Junyan kept shaking his head and asked loudly

"This lion's roar is the unpassed method among the seventy-two stunts of Shaolin Temple, how can there be people in this ghost valley today." The guard explained to Zheng Junyan with some puzzlement

And where would Zheng Junyan, a scholar, know this, and at this time, a window on the third floor of the small building suddenly opened, and a spirited old man poked his head out of the window and said, "Yes, Han Qing's friend?" It's you, little radish, bring the guests in. ”
