Chapter 1062: Eight Forks in the Road
Chapter 1062 Eight Forks in the Road
It was not easy to build a pontoon bridge on a raft, and it took another day to survive. If it's just a piranha, it's not such a headache, the problem is that he got the news that the food was robbed again, and now it's really a bit of a mess, so it's better to find the treasure and leave as soon as possible.
In Yangzhou City, Zheng Liwan also pondered hard, who snatched the food, and she could guess it, but now is not the time to fall out, the victims of Taihang Mountain are still waiting to eat. It is unrealistic to completely count on the imperial court, Zheng Liwan does not want the victims to make trouble, because Hedong Road is in chaos, and it will not benefit the Fang government at all. Bringing Qin Guang over, Zheng Liwan picked up the pen and wrote a letter, "Qin Guang, you take this letter and go to Fanyang by water, remember, you must be fast!" ”
"Yes, ma'am!" Qin Guang took the letter and left the house, he estimated that it was because of the food matter, and at this time, he could only count on the nearby Fan family and the Cui family to lend a hand.
A river that is not wide, but it took everyone two days, but fortunately, the tiger fish has not yet had the ability to gnaw wood, otherwise they would not have thought about crossing the river. It wasn't until the other side that Fang Yiai breathed a sigh of relief. Since coming to Wailing Ridge, they have seen strange things one after another, so everyone is also very careful, and only after two groups of people have explored the road will the others dare to continue to move forward.
The topography of Wailing Ridge is very strange, from the nursery village to the north is from the bottom to the top, but after crossing the river, the terrain is steeply lowered, from the river bank to the north there is a narrow mountain road, this mountain road is more like the crustal movement, the mountain is cracked. On both sides of the road are steep mountain walls, the mountain walls are very high, and when you look up, you can only see a gap, and the originally vast sky becomes a blue ribbon here, and it is difficult for even the eyes to shine through.
Fang Yiai is still very worried, if something comes out of front at this time, the whole team wants to run back. It's a little harder. Fortunately, after walking all the way through the narrow mountain road, nothing happened, but after leaving the mountain road, Fang Yiai made a difficulty. At the end of the road there were eight forks in the road, and they were all narrow and dark, just like the previous mountain path.
There are obvious signs of artificial excavation at the intersection here, and there is only one way to survive in it, and there must be many mechanisms buried in the other mountain roads. Fang Yiai never dared to underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, and the monkey spirit taught him enough lessons back then. I couldn't find the intersection, and for a while everyone rested against the stone wall in twos and threes. Ding Laoba and Gou Baotong also came over. "Major General. If you don't let the brothers divide into eight teams, the brothers on that road can come back, and they will take whichever way! ”
Ding Laoba's idea can be regarded as the most effective and fastest, but this method is to gamble with human life. Shake your head. Fang Yiai directly rejected Ding Laoba's proposal, "Laoba, don't mention this, if you really can't solve this game, let's go back." ”
Fang Yiai will not let his cronies die in vain, in the end, he is not interested in the treasures in Hongwen Peak, that is, Li Shimin has been hanging, if he can't break these eight intersections, he will definitely withdraw. It's just a big deal to be scolded by Li Shimin. I can't lose my life.
Wu Cao and Xiao Mu'er got together and muttered something, Wu Cao said as Xiao Mu'er kept nodding her head. After a while, Wu Cao called Fang Yiai over, "Brother-in-law." Do you think the number of intersections is very special? ”
"Special?" After being reminded by Wu Cao, Fang Yiai also came up with a little idea, the number of eight is indeed very particular, according to the gossip, each number represents a direction, but these eight intersections are aligned side by side, how to distinguish the direction?
Fang Yiai forced himself to calm down, since there are eight intersections, there must be a way out. Fang Yiai thought of the word "ugly" on the ink jade, if that ugly word is an indication, then it is easy to say. Now he can only gamble, because there are so many things he knows, a black jade, a jade pendant, and an ethereal word.
With a deep exhalation, Fang Yiai stretched out his hand and pointed to the fifth intersection from the left. Eight road crossings, each road intersection represents a direction, the front four and the back four are separated, then the fifth is the real first, that is, the Xun position in the Bagua, Xun represents the five in the Bagua, but in fact, the ancient Feng Shui masters will regard the five as the real middle palace position. In Feng Shui, there has always been a saying that the north and the south coexist, the north is respected, the east and west are facing each other, the east is the dragon's head, and the gossip in all directions will be in the middle palace. Whether it is a building or a marching formation, they all pay attention to a respectful position, which can also be called the Chinese army or marshal in the military array.
The talents of the ancestors are enough for future generations to learn for thousands of years, but it is a pity that these things are either lost or branded as feudal superstitions in later generations, and there are not many people who learn these.
Fang Yiai pointed to the fifth intersection, but everyone had no objections, and the people who came to Wailing Ridge were all veterans, and they knew what a stupid idea it was to go separately. As long as everyone is close together, even if there is danger, they can deal with it, and if they are separated, they will only be slaughtered.
As the commander of the First Army, it was impossible for Fang Yiai not to follow in, but when he entered the intersection, he still let Li Ke stay outside. Li Ke naturally disagreed, but there were more than a dozen guards looking at him, he just didn't want to, and he had to endure it. Staying outside with Li Ke are Wu Cao and Xiao Mu'er and others, anyway, Wen Luo will not stay, and Fang Yiai will not be a boring nagging Luo woman.
A group of people walked very slowly, very slowly, and those small steps were almost catching up with the old man in his seventies and eighties. didn't walk for a while, Tie Jin would throw a few stones forward, and only continue to walk forward after making sure there was no movement, Fang Yiai kept worrying, but fortunately, he walked all the way to the intersection, and nothing happened. didn't encounter any danger, of course Fang Yiai was happy, Luo Nuxia couldn't hide it, and jumped and jumped holding Fang Yiai's arm, "Fang Jun, you are right, nothing happened." ”
"Luo girl, are you boasting about being a husband or scolding a husband?" Fang Er Gongzi felt very unhappy, but Luo Nuxia smiled neatly, "Of course I praised you, I can't understand it so simple, stupid!" ”
was despised again, and it was the most unreliable Luo Woman who despised him, hey, bear with it. Without Fang Yiai's instructions, Qin Hu went back to pick up the rest of the people, this time Qin Hu went fast and came back quickly, when Qin Hu led the others to the intersection, he found that Fang Yiai was gone. I couldn't help asking, "Old Yun, where is the young master?" ”
"It's okay, it's up ahead!" Heavenly Dao held a kettle in his hand and moistened his throat, Qin Hu didn't ask much, left the others and went to the front.
At this time, Fang Yiai was sitting on a stone looking ahead, although he couldn't see clearly, but he could still see that there were two mountains in front of him, because they were too far apart, those two mountains were like two pitch-black ink stones. I don't know if it's a hallucination. Fang Yiai felt that the mountain in the distance seemed to be glowing. There's also a hazy taste.
Mountains in the shape of the word "from". Isn't it the pattern projected in the jade pendant, I've been in Wailing Ridge for so long, and I've finally found my destination. Although the zigzag mountain is in front of him, Fang Yiai is not happy at all. He thought it was too quiet, and as soon as he entered Wailing Ridge, he encountered a strange mist, followed by a large tiger wasp, and piranhas in the river. If there is no danger just now because you chose the right path, then what about the front, according to the previous situation, there must be something hidden in the front.
"Fang Jun, what are you looking at. Now that it's almost here, why are you sad and sad? Wen Luo couldn't understand Fang Yiai's thoughts, she felt that she should be happy, maybe the road ahead would not be too easy to walk, but it is better to be optimistic than to worry.
"You. It's just a heartless one, and you see, it's too quiet here. When we're outside, there's still birds flying overhead, and you can't even hear the birds chirping here, don't you think it's strange? ”
"Hee-hee, strange is strange, it's impossible to go back anyway. There is a way where water comes to cover the earth, and soldiers come to block, you have experienced so many battles, why are you afraid? ”
Reaching out to hug Wen Luo's body in the crook of his arm, Fang Yiai couldn't help laughing, "That's right, Luo girl, it's in danger for a while, you have to block it for your husband, okay?" ”
"Okay, Fang Jun, don't worry, this girl will definitely protect you!" Luo Nuxia was really able to answer, and as she spoke, she reached out and patted the face of the second son.
When Qin Hu came over, he was seeing Fang Yiai flirting with Luo Nuxia, he coughed twice before he asked in a low voice, "Young Master, are we going to rest on the spot, or continue to hurry?" ”
"Uncle Tiger, tell the brothers to rest, there is a canyon ahead, deep and dark, let's wait until tomorrow!" If the color has darkened today, it is really not suitable to go forward, not to mention that the canyon is constantly making gurgling sounds, who knows what is inside. So the safest way is to camp on the spot and wait for tomorrow morning to go again, otherwise you will have to spend the night in the canyon tonight.
Late at night, strong gusts of wind blew from the valley, mixed with piercing howls. This is the voice I heard in the nursery village before, but now I hear it more really, because the howling in my ears does not stop, and the group of people do not rest well. Especially the soldiers who kept vigil, all tensed their nerves, for fear that something dirty would rush out.
"Brother Huan, you said there wouldn't really be a ghost!" A younger soldier kept scratching his head, and the man next to him reached out and knocked him, "You kid is stupid, aren't you, there are not seven but five people who died in your hands, and you are still afraid of ghosts?" If there were ghosts in the world, you should have entered the Hades Hall a long time ago! ”
The soldiers on the front page were in good spirits, and Fang Yiai couldn't close his eyes, and he was afraid of any emergencies. Until midnight, Xiao Mu'er, who had been sleeping, also opened her eyes, rubbed her eyes, and saw Fang Yiai sitting next to her to pick up a fire and play. At this time, it was too difficult to sleep again, Xiao Mu'er fortunately wrapped her cloak and sat up, "Fang Jun, why don't you sleep for a while!" ”
"No, I can't sleep, I'm always a little restless" Fang Yiai stretched out his hand to let Xiao Mu'er sit here, Xiao Mu'er was not hypocritical, and then leaned on Fang Yiai's lap, "Fang Jun, I actually regret it a little, I really shouldn't have gone into this Wailing Ridge with you in the first place, I haven't slept well these days, this is a killer bee and a piranha." ”
Xiao Mu'er felt that she still knew too little, the things she had seen in the past few days were enough for her to reminisce for more than ten years, the chicken cage bee, she had also heard of it, but what kind of piranha was really unheard of. In the past, if someone told her that there were piranhas in the river, she would have scoffed, and it would be too hard to believe if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.
Luo Nuxia slept quite comfortably, and the bursts of crying outside didn't seem to affect her at all. I don't know if it's okay to dream about something, Luo Woman's small mouth is closed one by one, and she smiles a little from time to time.
Fang Yiai is very envious of Wen Luo, it would be nice if she was like Luo Woman, in a way, Luo Woman and Cheng Linger are really similar, both of them have the same nerves.
The night was so long and so depressing!
