Chapter 139: Black Knife

The night breeze rustled over the old trees and dead grass on the hills.

Liu Wei slowly opened his eyes, his eyes puzzled. He loosened his fingers, stood up cautiously, and took a few steps back and forth to relax his sedentary numb legs. When the two guards saw it, they just wanted to come over and wait, but Liu Wei waved his hand and motioned for them to retreat. Lang Zhong looked at each other and disappeared.

Liu Wei turned his head and looked at the mountains in the northwest direction, a little distracted.

Xun You, who was awakened by the cold, walked over and couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Liu Wei like this. Mount Cheng is the remnant vein of the southern foot of Songshan Mountain, which is not tall and not steep. It's early spring, and although there are many trees on the mountain, the foliage is sparse, and the scenery is very average. What's more, it's dark at night, no matter how good Liu Wei's eyesight is, I'm afraid he won't be able to see anything.

"Majesty?"

Liu Wei glanced back at Xun Yu and smiled: "Woke up from freezing?" ”

Xun Yu smiled silently, shook Liu Bian's big away, walked behind Liu Bian, and draped it on Liu Bian's body. Although he is in good health, after all, he is a literati, and he cannot be compared with those soldiers. Sleeping in the wild was a serious challenge for him. Even though Liu Wei covered his body with his big coat, he still woke up from the cold of the night.

But there was a different kind of warmth in his heart.

"Nothing, just can't sleep." Xun You disguised: "I can't figure out Xi Zhicai's plan. ”

"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. A qiē plan, in the end, it depends on the fight of real swords and guns to decide the victory. Liu Wei pointed to the top of the mountain in the distance: "What's on there?" ”

"What?"

"I was meditating just now, and my heart was moved. There seems to be something on that mountain. It's like ......" Liu Wei tightened his grip and shrugged his shoulders: "It's like a mare summoning a foal." ”

Xun You raised his eyebrows, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his voice trembled a little: "Your Majesty, really?" ”

"Of course, what did I lie to you?" Liu Wei turned his head and saw that Xun You's face was different, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Gongda, you are ......"

Xun You was a little out of shape, and his eyes showed an irrepressible ecstasy: "Your Majesty." There is a child tomb on the mountain. ”

"The Birth Tomb? Is that Zheng Guoxian? ”

"Exactly."

"Say so. I'm stationed here and I've alarmed this sage? Liu Wei sighed: "Then should I go to worship?" ”

"No, no." Xun You said repeatedly: "This place is a place where soldiers must fight, and I don't know how many people are stationed here. I haven't heard of anyone dreaming of giving birth at night. As far as the minister knows. 陛xià is the first person. This is not a bad omen. This is a good sign. ”

"Good omen?" Only then did Liu Wei understand where Xun Youxi came from. Zi Chuan was a sage of Zheng Guo and a respected politician of Confucianism, and Confucius once praised his merits in governing Zheng. Xun Yu is a Confucian scholar. is also a Yingchuan person, and of course he is also highly respected. He can have an interest in the child, which is similar to Confucius dreaming of the Duke of Zhou, and Xun You is of course overjoyed.

"Gongda, are you interested in taking a night tour?"

"Yes, yes." Xun Yu agreed.

……

The tomb of the child is on the top of the mountain, no more than three zhang high, less than twenty steps wide, it looks very ordinary. The Han people value filial piety, advocate thick burials, and the tombs also advocate generosity and luxury. The tomb of Zichan is obviously shabby, except for the Zichan Temple in the east of the tomb, it is almost impossible to see that a once prominent Dazheng family is buried here.

What surprised Liu Wei even more was that the tomb door of the child's tomb was wide open.

"This is a sign that there are no treasures in the tomb." Xun You explained: "This is also the reason why the tomb of the child has not been excavated for hundreds of years. ”

Liu Wei nodded. In this way, the child is indeed smart enough. The ancients robbed tombs, and even the emperor's heavily guarded tomb was not spared, not to mention this kind of unguarded tomb. Scholars may respect Zi Chuan and not be short of this money, ordinary people can't manage so much, when they are starving to death, who cares that Zi Chuan is a sage.

Liu Wei saluted in front of the tomb, but his brows were still puzzled.

"No, that's not what I'm sensing here." Liu Wei closed his eyes, held his breath for a moment, turned around half a circle, and stretched out his hand to the Zichan Temple: "It should be there, the distance ...... About 100 steps. ”

Xun You opened his mouth wide, and only after a while did he say, "Your Majesty, are you sure?" ”

"Of course." Liu Wei opened his eyes: "What's there?" ”

Xun You swallowed his saliva, and his voice was a little dry: "There is a tomb of Chen Yu." ”

"Chen Yu? Chen Yu, one of the four elders of Yingchuan? ”

"Of course, apart from this Dexing, who else would dare to be buried with the child." Xun Yu regained his composure and led Liu Wei towards the eastern slope. After walking about one hundred and twenty steps, Liu Wei saw a tomb that was much larger than the tomb of the child.

Lang Zhong raised torches and illuminated the tombstone, which was undoubtedly Chen Yu's tombstone.

"The Chen family is here."

"No, the Chen family is not here." Xun You shook his head: "The Chen family is in Xu County, about thirty miles away from here. This is the border of Chosha County. ”

Liu Wei was puzzled. The Han people are very particular about ancestral graves, even if they die in other places, they have to return to their hometowns for burial. Chen's family is in Xu County, but Chen Yu's tomb is in Changshe County, more than 30 miles apart, which is a little weird. Could it be that the ancestral tomb of the Chen family is here? But as far as the eye can see, there are not many graves.

Xun Yu was not surprised by Liu Wei's doubts. In fact, he has also had such questions, but he has never found the answer.

"Your Majesty, you must be here?" Xun You was a little disappointed. After all, no matter how high Chen Yu's moral prestige is, it can't be compared with the child's birth. If it was Zichan, then he would be quite sure that Liu Wei was not the evil dragon that Xun Yu was worried about, otherwise how could a sage like Zichan have an intuition with him.

"It's here." Liu Wei walked around Chen Yu's tomb and finally stopped in front of the tombstone. He bowed to the tombstone, and according to Confucian etiquette, his body was like a chime, and he did not get up for a long time. Seeing that Liu Wei did not accept the gift for a long time, Xun Yu persuaded him: "Your Majesty respects Chen Taiqiu so much, it is enough." ”

Liu Wei stood up straight, turned his head, and looked at Xun You, his eyes were a little weird: "Gongda, I'...... I had a strange feeling. ”

Even if Xun You believed in the theory of ghosts and gods, he also respected Chen Yu, and when he heard Liu Wei's words, he also felt that the night breeze was a little cold, and he couldn't help but shiver, and his voice was a little trembling: "What strange feeling?" ”

"Here...... There is something that may belong to me, maybe it is ...... Chen Taiqiu wants to give it to me. ”

Xun You looked around and was shocked: "Your Majesty, you don't want to ......"

Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood what Xun Yu meant, and couldn't help laughing: "Gongda, you think too much, will I dig Taiqiu's tomb?" Although the imperial court is short of money, it is not enough to do such a despicable thing. I mean, here'......"

Liu Wei said, walked to the place between the tombstone and the tomb, which was only about half a step wide, and slowly squatted down. He crouched there, motionless, like a stone statue, and as if reading an inscription. Xun You was puzzled, but it was difficult to ask. Wei Guan and the others next to him also looked at each other, not knowing what the hell Liu Wei was doing.

After a long time, Liu Wei suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist and dug it on the ground. When Xun You saw it, he was so angry that he laughed. It is also said that it is not a gravedigger, you are not a gravedigger. Isn't digging a grave with a hip digging a grave?

Xun You was stepping forward to stop him, Liu Wei suddenly stopped his movements, he turned around, glanced at Xun You, and bared his teeth: "I found it." ”

"What is it?"

"I don't know, it looks like a box." Liu Wei stood up, took a step back, and said to Wei Guan while putting away the pats: "Dig carefully, don't touch the grass and trees on Chen Taiqiu's grave." ”

Wei Guan listened, hurriedly agreed, and dug up with a Langzhong. After about a few glasses of wine, they dug out a long wooden box. When the wooden box was opened, there was a long black sheath knife with an ancient style.

Liu Wei took the knife and slowly exerted force, and a dragon groan sounded, and the knife was pulled out in half.

Everyone gasped and shuddered.

The blade is like a sheath, dark and dull, cold and cold.

It turned out to be a black knife.

Not only Liu Wei, but also the onlookers were dumbfounded. No one has ever seen a knife like this. As soon as the knife came out of its sheath, the wind around it seemed to be cold for three minutes, which made people feel an indescribable fear from the bottom of their hearts.

The most surprising thing was Xun You. He couldn't figure out why there was a knife buried behind Chen Yu's tombstone, and it was such a weird black knife. Is this buried by the Chen family, or is it buried by someone else? Is it a treasure, or is it a curse? Liu Wei got this knife, is it a good omen or a bad omen?

Liu Wei smiled: "That's it." ”

……

Xingyang, Xun Yu turned over and sat up, cold sweat dripping.

Xun Chen, who was sleeping opposite, turned over and said in a daze: "Wen Ruo, what's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, suddenly frightened." Xun Yu sat for a while, calmed down, wanted to lie down and fall asleep, thought about it, but got up in his clothes. When he came to the desk, he turned on the lamp, added a piece of incense to the censer, and took out a golden cylinder, from which he poured out fifty purple grasses.

Xun Chen, who was half-asleep, smelled the fragrance, and then realized Xun Yu's abnormality, and hurriedly got up in his clothes, walked to the side of the case, and when he saw the yarrow, he was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his eyes jumped uncontrollably. He sat down without saying a word and quietly looked at Xun Yu's divination.

After a long time, Xun Yu put away the yarrow on the case one by one. His face turned blue, and his slender fingers were dazzlingly white, and although he tried his best to control it, the yarrow in his hand rattled, like a mournful sound.

Xun Chen didn't speak. Although his Yi Xue is not as profound as Xun Yu, he can see that this hexagram is not good. He sat down and looked at Xun Yu, both of whom saw fear and indescribable sadness in each other's eyes.

"Where should it be?"

"I don't know." Xun Yu crossed his fingers, closed his eyes, and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead: "I can't count it." ”

Xun Chen closed his mouth tightly and didn't ask again.

The danger that cannot be calculated is the real danger.

"Where should it be?"

"I don't know." Xun Yu was silent for a long time, slowly opened his eyes, exhausted, and his voice was hoarse: "There are unplanned forces entering the game, whether it is good or bad, it is still difficult to determine." Judging from the hexagram alone, it seems that it is auspicious in the end. ”

Xun Chen stroked his chest and let out a sigh.

Xun Yu didn't say anything more. He looked at his hands, his heart was beating like a drum, and his blood was rushing, and he was about to burst out of his body...... (To be continued......)
