The barbarians of the three southwestern provinces are constantly advancing to the north, but the army of the four tribes is retreating, and the most important thing is that the imperial army has withdrawn from the southwest province, and now only the people and horses of the four tribes are resisting the barbarians.

The wolf smoke in the northwest has risen, the border pass is urgent, the wolf mountain has been lost, the people of Daxia have been displaced, from the west to the Central Plains, there are wandering border people everywhere, many places in the northwest are deserted for thousands of miles, the barbarian cavalry is still burning and killing and plundering, the whole Daxia is full of devastation, and I can't bear to look at it directly.

"Gurgle......"

At the beginning of the day after the snow, the sun was slightly warm, and a somewhat frizzy horse was panting and looking very uncomfortable.

"Huh!"

Liu Fa rode on the horse, stroked its mane slightly, and a trace of warmth flashed in his eyes, this horse accompanied him to walk thousands of miles, from the imperial capital all the way to the southwest, and he had experienced a lot.

There is nothing in the city, and there is no news about the city, it is not the right time to turn around at this time, the dust pass is the gateway to the southern prison, which is naturally extremely important, and now the barbarians in the southwest province must know what happened here, although Liu Fa does not know what these barbarians think, but they will not give up.

"General, where are we going?"

Han Ju followed closely behind Liu Fa, and after leaving the house for a long time, Liu Fa just led people to walk aimlessly on the remote path.

Liu Fa shook his head and didn't speak, just silently feeling everything around him.

Heavy snow, the dust pass no longer has the prosperity of the past, the street is quiet, the shops are closed, the door can be full of birds, when the barbarian army is attacking the city, the barbarians in the city are the internal response, breaking the dust pass, the people in the city are variables!

Liu Fa jumped off the horse step by step, stepping on the snow step by step, his steps were like crushing, making a rustling sound, he sighed, and finally stopped thinking about this, it was rare to be so idle.

Although the sunlight is warm, even the snow is difficult to eliminate, the weather is colder than before, slowly, Liu Fa's boots are a little wet, and in desperation, Liu Fa still rides on the horse.

"What kind of mountain is this?"

Liu Fa stopped the horse, there was a little more curiosity in his eyes, in the direction of Liu Fa looking, a mountain appeared, this mountain is magnificent, quite extraordinary, more importantly, today's weather is excellent, cloudless, but on the top of this mountain, there is a cloud, how can Liu Fa not feel surprised.

The surrounding attendants have been drunk, and now in front of Liu Fa, there are only a few Han Ju, Han Ju heard Liu Fa ask, and then stepped forward and said: "General, this place is called Guanfeng, there is a small view on the mountain, the name is Chaoyang, non-Taoist and non-monk, do not sacrifice to the Taoist gods, do not worship the monks and Buddhas of the Western Soil, and do not worship the totem of the South Prison, and the mountain road is also difficult, so no one usually goes here." ”

"Check it out!"

Liu Fa rode forward, his eyes were a little more curious, and when he walked to the bottom of the mountain, Liu Fa's eyes were even more playful, at this moment, the clouds on the top of the mountain, the color changed again, and even the shape became like a dragon, quite peculiar.

The mountain road is difficult to walk, it is difficult to walk horses, and Liu Fa finally walked up slowly.

At the top of the peak, the auspicious cloud is still entrenched there, but directly below, it is a simple temple.

"Chirp ......"

On top of a proud plum, a magpie chirped, the weather was extremely cold, this cry was crisp and bright, and Liu Fa's face showed a smile.

With a squeak, the door was opened, and a figure appeared from inside, only to see the person holding the dust, short body, although he didn't look at Liu Fa, but walked towards Liu Fa step by step.

"If the magpie is singing, you will come!"

The man slowly raised his head, his face was wrinkled, his head was full of white hair, but his eyes were extremely bright, and what was even more strange was that although this person was old, his words were like Hong Zhong Da Lu, which was shocking.

Liu Fa's heart froze, then he looked at this person, bowed slightly, and then said, "Dao Chang is the master here?" ”

The man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again: "Exactly, please in the distinguished guest!" ”

Saying that, this person began to lead the way for Liu Fa, the pattern on the mountain is not large, only a few halls, simple and simple.

In the main hall, a huge picture of Zhou Tian Xingchen is on the wall, which is particularly conspicuous.

"Please!"

The man served the fragrant tea, and then motioned for Liu Fa to sit down, and gestured, not at all like an old man.

Liu Fa thanked him and sat down.

"Dare to ask, how old are you?"

Looking at this person, Liu Fa couldn't help but be curious, so he asked.

This person smiled, saw that Liu Fan's cup was empty, and added another one for him, so he said with a light smile: "I was born in the thirteenth year of Da Chu Yuanfeng, and I am already one hundred and thirteen years old. ”

Liu Fa was dumbfounded, it was really unbelievable, he swallowed a sip of tea, and then said with admiration: "Dao Chang Zhenren Ruiye!" ”

"Dao Chief?"

The man chewed on the two words of Liu Fa carefully, and smiled playfully.

Liu Fa saw a deep smile on this person's face, and looked at this person's dress, and was even more puzzled, and then said: "Could it be that the old man is not a disciple of the Dao Sect?" ”

This Taoist is not like an ordinary Taoist person, carrying yin and yang, wearing a Taoist robe, his clothes are very simple, only behind him, depicting a map of the Big Dipper.

"Hehe, Daomen, I'm not Dao, my Gate, I'm not Daomen, alas, the past is not recounted!"

This person seemed to recall something, a little sad, and a few tears welled up in his eyes, waved his hand again, and stopped talking.

Liu Fa saw that this person was so sad, and for a while, he didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only sigh lowly: "Uncle, people have joys and sorrows, the moon is cloudy and sunny, and there are many unsatisfactory things in life, why should it be like this." ”

The man glanced at Liu Fa, and suddenly there was some appreciation in his eyes, and he arched his hand and said, "Childe's words are not bad, hehe, I am in love." ”

After talking for a long time, the man didn't feel a little tired, after all, he was old, and his body was still not as good as Liu Fa.

Seeing this, Liu Fa didn't bother, and was about to go out to watch.

"I have a word, would you like to hear it?"

This person stared at Liu Fa, his eyes were a little complicated, but in the end, he still stopped Liu Fa.

As soon as Liu Fa was about to come out to watch, he heard this person's voice, was slightly stunned, and then smiled again: "What does the public say, just say it, I am willing to listen to the teachings!" ”

"Hehe......"

This person smiled, looked at Liu Fa, beat his spirit, sighed, and then said: "I look at Gongzi's extraordinary appearance, quite elegant, but there is a bloody aura between his eyebrows, and I can know that Gongzi is the leader of the troops!" ”

Liu Fa smiled, and he didn't dare to underestimate it, just after talking in detail, Liu Fa had already comprehended the profundity of this person to some extent, and when he heard him say this, he just nodded and motioned for him to continue.

The man shook his head, but he refused to say more, only dipped his fingers in the water, wrote a few lines, and then laughed lightly, closed his eyes and recuperated.

Zero Ding Yang is alone, and the dream is true.

Eight hundred emperors will end up in ruins, and the clouds of the world will return to dust.

Liu Fa glanced at these four verses, and was puzzled, so he wanted to ask for advice, but saw that this person was already sleepwalking in the sky, and he didn't see the three souls.

"Alas......"

Seeing this, Liu Fa was inconvenient to disturb, lowered his pace, and then slowly came out of the Chaoyang View, and everyone outside the view was already anxious, just wanted to go in to see the situation, but Liu Fa walked out of the inside, and then he was relieved.

"Let's go!"

Liu Fa glanced at this Guanfeng, and the indescribable strangeness in his heart shook his head, and finally went down the mountain.

Above the peak, the auspicious cloud above the temple finally dispersed, not long after, in the sky, there was a black cloud, like a ghost, like a demon, extremely ominous, terrifying, but at this time, Liu Fa has gone down the peak, from the dust pass, it is not far away.

After the man saw Liu Fan leave, he slowly opened his eyes again, there was a little weakness in his eyes, and he no longer looked like Fang Cai's full of energy, suddenly, his face became a little flushed, and the corners of his mouth twitched continuously.

"Wow!"

This person spurted out a mouthful of black blood, crumbling, and finally held on to the armrest of the chair, calmed down, and then wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and sat down again, looking at the Zhou Tianxing map in the hall, his eyes were full of sadness.

It was soon dark, and the snowflakes seemed to be about to float again, and the man shrank back, tired, but he still refused to close his eyes.

After coming over for a long time, there was a sound outside the temple, and a glimmer of brilliance suddenly appeared in the eyes of this person, and he was about to get up trembling, but his hands were weak, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't even sit up, and at this moment, the door was opened, and a white-robed scribe walked in.

"Master, Master, why don't you hold the lampstand?"

The voice was elegant and clear, and he frowned when he saw that it was pitch black in the audience, and then he lit the lamp again, and the candle flame was faint, but it lit up the whole hall.

"Ahem, you're back!"

The man coughed, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he was hoarse, and when the scribe heard this voice, he was suddenly startled, and then he threw himself in front of the couch, only to see that the man's eyes were dark, and the hall was black, and he saw that he was dying.

This person's eyes lit up, the lampstand has been palmed to his couch, he glanced at this scribe, smiled slightly, if Liu Fa is here at this time, he will be surprised, although this scribe is not familiar with Liu Fa, but he really has a relationship with Liu Fa, it is when he was hunted down and killed in Pingnan, the person he met in the Ye family, that night, Liu Fa was almost captured by him.

"Master, what's going on, Master?"

This scribe is really incomprehensible, the master is in excellent health, why he hasn't seen him for a few days, and it is already the day of the limit, looking at this person, tears instantly welled up.

"It's okay, people will die, it's just a matter of time, why be a child crying?"

The man shook his head, with only a hint of warmth on his face, and there was no blame.

"Master, it's okay, I'll borrow ...... for you"

The scribe couldn't stop crying, shook his head, and wanted to say something, but was grabbed by this person, this person glanced at the scribe, slowly frowned, patted him on the shoulder tiredly, and then said: "I know that you know filial piety, but, everything must not go against the sky, do you know, if it is not for the ancestor to act against the sky, how did my door fall to this, do you understand?" ”

This person remembered the past, his voice trembled a little, the great religion of the past, overnight, became a thing of the past, he burst into tears, choked up: "Heaven determines personnel, people are considerable, irreversible!" ”

As he spoke, the man sat up suddenly, grabbed the scribe, his eyes were full of anticipation, and he seemed to have a lot of strength to speak at this time, and he said loudly: "I have a word, you must remember!" ”

The scribe was shocked, and his heart was even more sad, he knew that the master was returning to the light, he nodded with tears, and helped the master on the couch, and then knelt on the ground again, listening to the last words of the master.

This person looked at the zenith and said in a deep voice: "It is the will of heaven that my sect has fallen to this point, if he has the day to revive my sect, he must find the great seal of the master and treasure the mountains and rivers, remember, you must find the mountain...... River ......"

Speaking of the back, he unconsciously raised his hand, there seemed to be unwillingness in his eyes, but he didn't say the last word after all, and then closed his eyes and returned to the netherworld.

At this moment, the scribe finally burst into tears, and he cried with tears: "Master rest assured, I will revive the scenery of my door, find the great seal of mountains and rivers, and reopen the three stations!" ”

The snowflakes finally floated, and the dark clouds on the peak also dispersed, and the scribe slowly walked out of the view, his eyes blank and full of depression.

He looked up and looked at the day, the snow was so heavy and so cold!

Liu Fa finally returned to the city, cleared the snow from his body, then jumped off his horse, and entered the house, where he sat on the seat, and the hall was already lit with a stove, and there was still warm wine on the side, which was very warm.

"It's snowing again, hehe, what's the news?"

Liu Fa smiled, sat by the fire, roasted his hands, and looked at Xin He who also hurried into the house, Xin He nodded, took a bottle of wine, and his stomach warmed, so he smiled and said: "Great joy, Luo Xingtian's soldiers went to Chongcheng, and Nangong suppressed the barbarians under the city, and now Chongcheng, there is no war, and the barbarians from the dust pass to Chongcheng are almost swept away by Luo Xingtian alone, haha!" ”

"Haha, good!"

Hearing the news, Liu Fa also patted the table excitedly, and also took a bottle of warm wine for himself, and drank it comfortably, feeling very comfortable.

Suddenly, Liu Fa seemed to think of something, and fell silent again, and then whispered again after a while: "How much grain and grass is there in the army?" ”

When Xin He heard Liu Fa ask, he also frowned, lowered his head, and frowned a little: "During this time, there are thousands of mouths, and there is not much food and herbs in the army, and now it is almost exhausted!" ”

"Well, how much longer?"

Liu Fa pondered for a moment, looked at Xin He again, and asked in a deep voice.

"At most, it lasts for ten days, and after ten days, I can only go hungry!"

The heavy snow is still falling, the sky has completely darkened, in the dust pass, there is silence, Liu Fa military law is strict, there are no Han people in this city, only some barbarian people who have lived here for a long time, although the sergeant is very resentful of these barbarians, but still dare not do anything excessive in the city, after all, when the dust pass is broken, if it is not for the barbarians in the city as the internal response, the inside should be combined with the outside, with the solid of the dust pass, how can it be so easy to be broken.

The people of the city saw that these soldiers did not make any excessive moves, and then they all made a list and continued to do business in the market, and Liu Fa had entered the city for many days, so that the dust pass had some vitality, and it was no longer as lifeless as when he entered the city.

"Whoa......

The north wind was blowing, there was no one in the market, in Liu Fa's residence, Liu Fa was still chatting with Xin He boringly, suddenly, Liu Fa smiled, looked at Xin He, and had some doubts in his eyes: "Where is Qingyunfei, why is he not here these days, and why is the woman he brought not here?" ”

Xin He was stunned for a moment, then smiled playfully, looked at the cold move behind Liu Fa, shook his head, and didn't say anything, Liu Fa saw Xin He looking at the cold move, as if he had thought of something, and then turned his head again, and asked with a smile: "Do you know what Qing Yunfei has been doing in the past few days?" ”

Han raised the corners of his mouth and said in a low voice: "I don't know where General Qing Yunfei has been these days, but I can probably guess that there is one of his fathers-in-law in this city!" ”

Speaking of the back, Han Ju also smiled, and then closed his mouth again, in front of Liu Fan, he was still very cautious.

"Uncle Yue?"

Liu Fa smiled strangely, and then looked at Xin He again, only to see that Xin He was also smiling incomprehensibly, his heart moved, but he had a heart of playing, and then said loudly: "Go, Hanju, you lead the way in front, let's go and see what is going on?" ”

As he spoke, he put on a big hat again, patted Xin He's shoulder, and motioned for Han Ju to lead the way in front.

Han Ju was stunned for a moment, then nodded, where is Liu Fa, where is he naturally, he walked in the front, thinking about Shui Yao's home some time ago, and then led the way in front.

"Father-in-law......

As soon as Liu Fan walked to the door, he heard a familiar voice, who was it not Qing Yunfei, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was happy, he still remembered the first time he saw Qing Yunfei, Qing Yunfei turned his head coldly, at this moment, listening to the voice, it was somewhat flattering, even flattering.

Immediately afterwards, an old voice sounded: "Meng Rang, I've worked hard for you today, hehe!" ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard, hey!"

Qingyunfei's flattering voice sounded again, Liu Fan was stunned for a moment, and then played with the taste: "Meng Rang? ”

At this time, the corners of his mouth moved and he smiled very writhingly: "This is the name that Qing Yunfei gave himself when he lived in the city, and the woman he brought has always called Qing Yunfei like this." ”

Liu Fa suddenly realized, laughed, pointed to the inn, and then said, "Go, go in!" ”

As he spoke, Liu Fa pushed open the door and strode in.

In the past few days, the city has returned to its former calm, that is, the city lord's mansion, which has also been repaired almost, but Liu Fa likes to be calm, and he is not used to living in that kind of big place, and he always feels that the place is too big, and there is less taste.

Today, there are a lot of customers in this inn intermittently, and many shops are slowly opening, which has a bit of a prosperous taste.

"Squeak", a gust of cold wind blew in, the shopkeeper's eyes narrowed, and then he came up, saw Liu Fa and his party of three, piled up a smile, and said very politely: "Are you eating or staying in the hotel, the stove in the small shop has been turned off, there are still many in the upper room, it is late, you guests might as well rest here with me!" ”
