Chapter 52: Zhao Ling appears
The next day, Guan Ying and Tang Li took Zhao Jun to the place where the map was.
First went deep into the Taihang Mountains for fifty miles, and then found a stone wall hidden in the lush mountain forest, the stone wall was covered with moss and vines, but at this time they were covered with snow, and the vines were also a little yellow.
Sure enough, Guan Ying walked directly to the vines, and then picked up those vines, and then revealed a mountain crevice path that could only accommodate two people in parallel, seeing this situation, Yu Ziqi and Zhao Jun looked at each other with some admiration Tang Li and Guan Ying, if it wasn't for careful observation and patient searching, it would be impossible to find here.
"Captain, it's inside, let's go inside." Tang Li and Guan Ying walked in front, and Zhao Jun nodded to Yu Ziqi and followed behind.
The crevices in the mountains are about half a mile long, and the feet are full of fine gravel, and the snow melts on the mountain walls on both sides, and it seems very quiet for a while.
After walking to the end of the mountain crack, there is another piece of heaven and earth, only to see a valley with a radius of more than ten zhang come into view, the valley is surrounded by cliffs, and in the middle is a flat and thick accumulated leaves, and a thin layer of white snow has not yet melted on the accumulated leaves, and people walk on it and make a squeaking sound.
"What's that?" Yu Ziqi suddenly pointed to a tombstone erected in the middle of the valley, the tombstone was about four or five feet high, nearly two feet wide, it looked very imposing, and there were big characters engraved on it.
Seeing this, Zhao Jun walked directly to the tombstone, but he didn't know the words engraved on it.
Yu Ziqi pointed to the inscription at this time and said: "This is the text used by the Zhao Kingdom, I recognize, it is written on the tomb of Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains." ”
"Plains County Mausoleum?"
Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment, and then looked behind the mausoleum, but saw that there was a tomb stone door at the stone wall of the valley behind, and there were two stone beasts on the left and right.
At this time, Tang Li explained: "Zhao Sheng is the third son of King Zhao Wuling, has always had the reputation of the four princes of the Warring States, served as the prime minister of the two dynasties, and it was rumored that he had countless family wealth, but he knew that there were many people who had offended him, so he ordered his children to bury him secretly after his death, at that time, even the monarch Zhao Xiaocheng did not know his cemetery, I guess Zhao Gao must be the Zhao royal family, and has an extremely important relationship with Zhao Sheng, so he can have this map." ”
"Well, have you tried to open this tomb door?" Zhao Jun nodded after hearing this, Zhao Gao's close relationship with Zhao Guo is certain.
Guan Ying shook his head and said, "No, we have tried several times in various methods but have not been able to open it, this stone gate is extremely thick and even more difficult to break. ”
Zhao Jun frowned after hearing this, and stepped forward to try, but the result was not pushed at all, and it was impossible to get up, and as for the strong destruction, it was even more impossible, even if it was added to Xiang Yu's divine power, it would not help.
Zhao Jun believes that this stone gate cannot be sealed, because the ancients had the habit of worshipping the tomb, Zhao Sheng died of old age, and at that time there were still children and grandchildren, so it was naturally impossible not to leave a way for children to worship after death.
After thinking about it, Zhao Jun began to knock back and forth with sword stone beasts, tomb doors and tombstones, remembering that in ancient dramas in his previous life, there were often some hidden mechanisms, and then the door opened at will.
It's just that Zhao Jun was very disappointed by the result, and he and Yu Ziqi kept touching for half an hour, but there was still no movement.
"Don't bother with it, I've tried this possible mechanism with the baby, but I haven't been able to find it." Tang Li shook his head, obviously annoyed.
Zhao Jun thought about it after hearing this, and finally said: "Let's go back first, it's not a way to blindly find it like this, go back and think of a way first, it's best to go to a nearby county to find a person who is proficient in the agency to crack it." ”
"Hmm." The three of them nodded, and could only follow Zhao Jun back.
It's just that when he walked out of the stone wall, Zhao Jun looked at the footprints left by the snow on the road and was stunned, and then left quietly.
After going back, a few people discussed ways in the house, but after thinking about it, none of them could work, it seemed that they really went to find someone who knew how to crack the mechanism, and finally Zhao Jun didn't think much about it, and slept with a few people when it was dark.
Until the middle of the night, Zhao Jun suddenly woke up, and then quietly walked out of the door, walking alone into the valley during the day.
The moonlight in the sky and the snow on the ground illuminate the mountains, otherwise Zhao Jun is really not easy to walk, but the mountain wind whistling at night blows a little gloomy feeling, although Zhao Jun is not afraid, but he is very cautious into the mountain crack during the day.
Before entering the valley, Zhao Jun heard a knocking sound, and he couldn't help but stop, leaning against the mountain wall and quietly looking into the valley.
I saw that in the moonlight, a white figure was holding a sword to beat back and forth to measure, while touching the mountain wall and the ground with her hands, as if thinking about something, sometimes it was really cold, she stopped, rubbed her hands with her hands and breathed hot air, and then continued to measure and think back and forth.
Seeing this, Zhao Jun was excited in his heart, and accidentally stepped on a small pebble and made a slight sound.
However, the woman in white was very alert, turned her body to face Zhao Jun, and at the same time touched the hilt of the sword with her hand, and reprimanded vigilantly: "Who? ”
Zhao Jun didn't speak, but walked into the valley in a daze, approached the woman in white, and said a little after a while: "Ling'er, is it you?" ”
The woman in white waited for Zhao Jun to approach, and when she saw his face, her body trembled, and finally when she heard Zhao Jun's words, she suddenly turned around and wanted to run away, but there was only one mountain crack in this valley, and Zhao Jun was blocked on the opposite side, how could she run away.
Zhao Jun approached step by step, she couldn't help but tremble and retreated step by step, but Zhao Jun still saw her face clearly, melon seed face and willow eyebrows, white and tender skin, and a pair of big watery eyes were full of complex expressions such as panic, longing, and grievances at the moment, and finally a mist gradually rose, and her delicate body continued to tremble.
Retreating all the way to the side of the mountain wall, she really had no way to retreat, only to watch Zhao Jun approach step by step in panic and trembling.
"Ling'er" Zhao Jun stretched out his trembling palm, stroking the girl's cheek little by little, and the joy of the charge almost rushed out of his tears.
In the end, Zhao Junzai couldn't help it, threw away the Wushan Sword in his left hand, and instantly squeezed the girl tightly into his arms, and shouted excitedly: "Ling'er, it's you, it's really you, it's great, it's my brother I'm sorry for you, it's me who failed to protect you, where have you been all these years, do you know how much my brother misses you?" Haha, it's good to come back, it's good to come back. ”
In the end, Zhao Jun was a little incoherent.
"Brother, it's me, I'm back." Zhao Ling returned to the embrace, the timidity and hesitation before, and the panic disappeared without a trace in an instant, only the excited joy remained, and tears flowed inadvertently.
"It's good to come back, my brother won't let you have any accidents in his life." Zhao Jun hugged Zhao Ling tightly, and his heart became more and more steady.
Zhao Ling leaned on Zhao Jun's shoulder, nodded, and said softly: "Brother, I really want to cry." ”
"Then cry out loud." Zhao Jun gently patted Zhao Ling's back.
"Woo" Zhao Ling was still choked softly at first, but the more he got later, the more difficult it became to control himself, as if he wanted to vent all the loneliness and grievances of these years, until Zhao Jun's clothes were all wet.
"Where have you been all these years, have you been avoiding me?" Zhao Jun waited until Zhao Ling stopped crying, and then asked, since he came out of Xianyang, he felt that someone had been secretly following him, and now he finally determined that it was Zhao Ling.
"I" Zhao Ling lowered her head, unable to say anything, and finally she mustered up the greatest courage, raised her head and asked with a little trembling: "Brother, do you like me?" ”
"I like it, of course I like it, you're my good sister, I don't like who you like?" Zhao Jun smiled, and habitually scratched Zhao Ling's nose with his hand.
Who knows, Zhao Ling turned his head and stood up, and suddenly said with some excitement: "I don't want it, I don't want to be your sister, I don't want it." ”
"Huh?" Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment, looking at Zhao Ling's excited expression and a little puzzled.
After a while, Zhao Ling seemed to realize that he had lost his temper, lowered his head and desperately suppressed the pain in his heart, raised his head and said, "Brother, are you cracking this tombstone, I have a way, give me a day should be able to do it?" ”
"You know that, too?" Zhao Jun was surprised.
Zhao Ling smiled, his eyes curved like crescent moons, "That's nature, this aspect can't be difficult for me." ”
Zhao Jun laughed after hearing this: "Haha, it seems that you have a long ability, I don't know if the inner fist I taught you has been lost?" ”
When Zhao Ling heard this, he raised his head confidently and said, "Naturally not, maybe I'm better than my brother now, or let's compare?" ”
"Okay, but you have to tell me first, who intercepted you back then, are you related to the Mo family now, if they persecuted you, you tell my brother, I will kill him!" In the end, Zhao Jun's face suddenly rose with anger, he had been separated from Zhao Ling all these years, and he definitely couldn't understand it easily.
After hearing this, Zhao Ling hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, brother, don't get me wrong, the master was very good to me, and he didn't force me, I also volunteered to stay back then, and if I was looking for you at that time, maybe it would have become a burden to you, how could I help you now, last time I asked you for Juziling in Pei County, Le Rui, you know, he is my master, and he has been teaching me skills and the principles of life all these years, I am very grateful to him." ”
Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What's the matter, you tell me in detail." ”
"That's right." Zhao Ling slowly told the story, it turned out that it was the Mo family who robbed her at the beginning, but they were not malicious, but Zhao Ling's identity was special, it turned out that Zhao Ling's parents, that is, Zhao Jun's adoptive parents were from the Mo family, and his father was the Mo family giant of the previous generation, who had received the favor of a Qin person back then, and was later entrusted by him to raise Zhao Jun.
However, even the Mo family didn't know for what reason, the giant husband and wife were killed, but according to the rules, the daughter of the giant should be cultivated into the holy daughter of the Mo family, but Zhao Ling was too young at that time, and the Mo family adhered to the concept of hardship and simplicity, so they intended to sharpen Zhao Ling, but they just sent someone to take care of her secretly, and did not interfere too much in her life.
It's just that I didn't expect Zhao Jun to kill the county order angrily, and there was a escape, and they were even more caught off guard when they entered the mausoleum of the first emperor, so after Zhao Jun escaped, they rescued Zhao Ling in time, afraid that she would be in any danger, and the last few years were when Zhao Ling learned skills in the Mo family.
The first mission, that is, to repay the kindness of the Xiang family and assassinate the emperor in Xianyang Palace, of course, when he met Zhao Jun in the middle, Zhao Ling ran away because he was afraid that Zhao Jun would be difficult to do, and later came to Pei County Zhao Ling originally planned to meet Zhao Jun, but after seeing Lu Pheasant, I don't know why she was timid.
After listening to the whole course of events, Zhao Jun was silent for a long time, and finally nodded lightly and said firmly: "Ling'er, no one can separate us in the future." ”
"Hmm." Zhao Ling lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
In the end, overnight, Zhao Jun took Zhao Ling to a nearby county seat, found a hostel to rest, and rushed back to the thatched house the next day to join Tang Li and others.
It's just that when he took Zhao Ling to see a few people, several people were dumbfounded.
Tang Li and the others were a little obsessed when they saw Zhao Ling, who was dressed in white and looked like a little sister next door, this girl was like a water spring pool, full of a strange peace.
After a while, Yu Ziqi suddenly stretched out his thumb and said: "High, really high, I didn't return overnight, and I brought a big beauty back during the day, which is terrible for my sister to know, I want my Yu Ziqi to be pretentious, but it is far worse than you." ”
Zhao Jun shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Officially introduce to you, this is my sister Zhao Ling, who will help us solve the mechanism of the cemetery today, let's go, let's go." ”
