78, the dream of the black dragon

Shi Siming's words just started, stopped, and looked at Li Mi, Guo Ziyi, and Dugu Huan one by one, looking thoughtful.

He seemed to enjoy the conversation.

"Tsk-brother, when is it, it's still appetizing, hurry up and talk about it. Li Mi saw his intentions and urged.

"Everyone in the official face knows that An Lushan is actually a mongrel, his father is Sogdian, his mother is Turkic, according to common sense, he should consider himself Sogdian, and the Sogdians are good at business, whether in the Western Regions or in the two capitals, they have considerable wealth and status.

However, he still obeys his mother clan and considers himself a Turk, because his mother's clan has been the great shaman of the Turkic tribe for generations and has a great influence among the Turkic people.

Moreover, his mother is indeed proficient in witchcraft, when his mother could not have children for many years, she prayed to the Turkic god of war - Zha Meat Mountain, and the divine inspiration gave birth to him, so his nickname is Zha Meat Mountain, Kang Zha Meat Mountain.

Later, fate twists and turns, when An Lushan was in Youzhou, he met Shi, hahahaha, once he went to steal sheep and was caught, and was taken to Youzhou Jiedu Zhang Shouju for interrogation, but he didn't expect him to release a bold statement, saying that he could help Zhang Shouju annihilate the traitor in one fell swoop, so he invited me to work for Zhang Shouju and catch the traitor's captive.

It can be regarded as the luck of our brothers, every time they shoot, they can always capture a prisoner alive, Zhang Shouqi saw that he was brave and resourceful, so he appointed him as a partial general, and later accepted him as a righteous son.

After An Lushan developed, he took his mother over. The year after that, for a while, his mother would have the same dream every day. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Siming suddenly habitually stopped again and glanced at everyone.

Li Mi and the others were already fascinated by his story, and they couldn't see any change in their expressions, only Li Mi instinctively poured a glass of wine for Shi Siming and served it to him.

After Shi Siming finished drinking, he smiled slightly, raised his face, looked at the void above his head, and continued to speak.

Her mother dreamed that in the clouds and mist above the Yanshan mountains, there was a black dragon that kept waging its head and tail at her.

The dragon is originally an auspicious thing, and it is a symbol of the true son of heaven, but the dragon she dreamed of was Hesse, and the layers of clouds and mist were also very cloudy, and even obscured the sky.

At first, she was so frightened that she thought it was a bad omen, and she didn't even dare to do divination about it, but this dream haunted her all along.

Later, she finally made up her mind to divinate for it, the first time she used yarrow for divination, the grass burned out of thin air, the second time she used copper coins for divination, those copper coins were erected on the ground one by one, and the third time she used tortoise shells for divination, those tortoise shells burned in the fire for a long time, and there were no cracks at all.

As the descendant of the Great Wizard, she naturally understands that this matter is very important, and the secret of heaven cannot be revealed.

She told An Lushan about this and asked An Lushan to send a team of 100 people to Yanshan to inspect, but what was even more strange was that the team of 100 people never came back, and sent three teams in succession, all of which were the same.

Although An Lushan respected his mother, he was just using her influence among the Turkic tribe to gain benefits for himself, he was brave and resourceful, and he didn't believe in those ghosts and gods, but he believed that man would conquer the sky.

However, the third team still went and did not return, which had to make An Lushan panic, the Yanshan area was already under control at that time, and no bandits dared to intercept and kill the official army. Moreover, he had already instructed in advance that in the event of an abnormality, he must retreat quickly and return to the camp to report no matter what.

That strange dream still comes up every night.

In desperation, her mother decided to go to the mountains to find out herself, and she also believed that it was arranged by God. So, under the escort of An Lushan, she brought three sacrifices to the mountains of Yanshan. ”

Shi Siming stopped again and looked at everyone, as if he was deliberately waiting for the other party to come up with any ideas.

"Did they find anything?"

"Did you really find the black dragon?"

"Is there really a dragon in this world?"

Sure enough, several people quickly asked.

"They walked for about half a month before they came back, and when they went, there was a huge team of 500 people, and when they came back, there was only An Lushan's mother and son. Shi Siming said solemnly.

"Ahh

"Well, not only that, after An Lushan's mother and son came back, it didn't take long for him to dismiss all his mother's slaves and maids.

When the mother and son had just returned, I felt that something was wrong. So, after the servants were dismissed, I secretly investigated. In fact, those people were not dismissed, but killed. ”

"What? How could this be? What happened at that time? Brother Shi, what the hell is going on?"

He was as calm as Li Mi, and there was an impatient expression on his face. After all, this thing is just too strange.

"At that time, I suspected, and only suspected, that the servants who were killed were all people who knew the dream of An Lushan's mother, the black dragon, so they were killed.

I almost forgot about this matter, twenty or thirty years have passed, until the eve of An Lushan's army, he told us that he was actually the true dragon son of heaven descended to earth, and there is a dragon's lair in the mountains of Yanshan, and there is a dragon in the dragon's lair that can sense him, and he is the son of the dragon who descended to the mortal world. ”

"Oh, how did he convince everyone?" asked Li Mi with a frown.

"Because of his mother. His mother was proficient in divination and prayer, and every time there was a big or small war, An Lushan had to ask his mother for good luck, and his mother had become the de facto high priest in An Lushan's army, and the high priest's divination was very effective, and over time everyone naturally believed it.

His mother once again mentioned her dream of the black dragon, as well as the matter of the dragon's den, and what was even more shocking was that An Lushan actually took off his clothes in public, exposing his upper body, and sure enough, there was a black aura winding around his chest, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was a young black dragon. ”

"I see, probably something mixed with illusion or something, I mean the black dragon?" Li Mi looked at Shi Siming intently, waiting for his answer - was his guess correct?

"Hahahaha, this Shi doesn't understand, how do you think that a person like me who has only today with his head pinned to his trouser belt is interested in that kind of strange and chaotic thing.

It's just that the behavior of their mother and son verified my suspicion back then, that they might really have found something, which made his mother think that it was indeed some kind of auspicious omen, even about the fate of An Lushan's son of heaven.

It's just that An Lushan was just a partial general under Zhang Shouqi at that time, and such an auspicious omen, under the circumstances at that time, must not leak the slightest rumor. I think that the 500 people who escorted them into the mountain must have been killed by their mothers. ”

"So—what happened in the mountains? Brother Shi doesn't know?"

Li Mi could see that Shi Siming was more speculative about what happened back then.

"I don't know," Shi Siming shook his head vigorously, "Their mother and son have always been tight-lipped, even with me, in the days that followed, they never mentioned half a word again." ”

"Oh. Brother Shi said just now, this matter is related to one of your requests?"

The things about the dragon vein, that's pretty much it. However, what does this have to do with the request that Shi Siming said?

"Yes, on the eve of the army, I, some other generals, and our family members were all taken away by An Lushan in the name of protecting everything. ”

"Is this a hostage? ”

"Well, at that time, everyone didn't think about it, that is, the thieves wanted to fall into the grass, and they would meet to kill their wives and daughters to show their determination, not to mention such a major event as rebellion, everyone was a martial artist, and they didn't think there was anything wrong. However, things are different today, right? ”

"Well, we will definitely find a way to rescue Brother Shi's family, but does this have anything to do with that dragon vein?"

"I have followed An Lushan for so many years, and he has several nests, I know very well, but the family members who were picked up have not been heard from, no matter how I find them.

Then, I remembered that after An Lushan's mother and son returned from Yanshan, the next year, he had quietly gathered a group of craftsmen, more than 3,000 people, however, there was no construction in and out of the city at that time, and later, I found that the craftsmen were brought into the mountain.

Therefore, I suspect that An Lushan once overhauled civil engineering in Yanshan, and combined with their later dragon vein theory, I am even more convinced that they built some large altar or other buildings in the so-called dragon vein in that mountain. ”

"Your suspicions are very reasonable, so it is very likely that An Lushan put those family members under house arrest in the dragon vein. Li Mi echoed.

"Well, Shi Mou does think so, and it's more appropriate for you to do it. ”

"That's true, if Brother Shi sends someone, he will definitely be recognized, and everything we have done will be in vain. ”

"I'm afraid it's going to be very dangerous, so you'd better be prepared. When the time comes, once you succeed, you can send people to Fanyang, where all my men and horses are stationed, and it will be very safe. ”

"It's just, how are we going to find that place? Brother Shi hasn't explored that place for so many years, right?"

Shi Siming shook his head helplessly: "No." At that time, I didn't know the present day, although I was curious, it was just speculation, after all, An Lushan and I were brothers who worshipped the son. ”

"Oh, this Yanshan is so vast, even if we send thousands of troops and horses, and when we find that place, I'm afraid that this Luoyang City will be full of white bones. ”

"......" Shi Siming was thoughtful and silent.

"What is Brother Shi thinking?"

"At the confluence of Taihang and Yanshan, there is a valley, and a few years ago I took people on a tour and went up the stream in the valley. ”

Shi Siming paused for a moment, but this time it didn't seem to be to arouse anyone's appetite, only to see that he was in a trance, and his thoughts were far away.
