Chapter 93: Going to Fengxi
Six thousand miles out of Hongjing to the west, he entered the last province in the extreme west of the Tang Dynasty - Fengxi.
Since the previous dynasty, Fengxi has always been the gateway to the west of the Tang Dynasty, and it is the first line of defense in front of the Western demon clan.
Although it may sound generous and moving, in fact, Fengxi Province is completely shrouded in the shadow of the demon clan.
For the people of Fengxi, growing up here is just a kind of pain and helplessness.
Yin Ming was sealed as the provincial capital of the west, and the car drove westward and went straight into the west.
The deeper you go into it, the more chaotic the local order becomes.
This Fengxi is worthy of being a land of demons, and even many people have changed their temperaments, and some of them are like demons.
Along the way, Yin Ming saw robbers with turbans, hoes, and old oxpers to rob the road.
There are also old people in ragged clothes who lie on the side of the road and pretend to be dead, and if anyone is kind enough to come forward, they will burst into trouble.
There are also really poor people, the old father knelt on the side of the road, trying to sell the child for money.
Or tragically murdered by bandits, families ruined, and people looking for death and life.
Even more terrible than the wicked are all kinds of terrifying beasts.
A giant python with the thickness of an adult's thigh hovers over the top of the mountain, spitting out letters at the car of the group.
It looks like a giant ape like a small mountain, and its strong muscles are like rocks, and it frantically beats its fists.
The antlers are as sharp as knives, not to mention burly and majestic, and they are actually hunting their prey with their antlers.
All kinds of strange creatures don't need to be told one by one, and they are completely different from the scene of the area near Hongjing City.
This is just an ordinary beast, deeper in the west, where demon beasts are rampant, I don't know what the scene is.
It is no wonder that those who want to suppress Yin Ming are happy to see Yin Ming here.
This is indeed a badland where death is frequent.
Yin Ming sat in a carriage with four drivers, quietly closing his eyes and recuperating.
His party was not very large, no more than five or six in total, but not as many as horses.
For the provincial capital of a province that went to work, it was a bit shabby.
When others go to work, they are all dragging their families with them, and there are dozens or even hundreds of people at every turn.
In the carriage, there were no maids and servants, only Yin Ming, who closed his eyes and practiced, and Yang Ziming, who was sitting opposite him reading.
Yin Ming is reciting the scriptures silently in his heart, and he is dedicated to understanding the Confucian scriptures.
For several hours, the sun was rising, and it was already noon.
Yin Ming slowly opened his eyes, only to feel that his mind was clear, and his perception of the divine soul was more sensitive, and he was one step closer to Wenzong.
Seeing this, Yang Ziming smiled and said, "Brother Ming, you can cultivate the Tao of Literature, which is already unique and enviable. ”
"You are still not slacking off, so I am so envious when I see it. ”
Yin Ming said: "Ziming said and laughed, this learning is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, how can you slack off." ”
Yang Ziming said: "It's a good analogy, but it's really appropriate." ”
Yin Ming glanced at the book in Yang Ziming's hand and said, "Ziming, you are also studious, and you have been reading the scriptures all morning. ”
Yang Ziming said: "This book written by Brother Ming is really a rare book. ”
"There is a world and a country, and there has never been such a book of literature and Taoism. ”
"Reading this book, the beginning is the study of life involving heaven and earth, and the later part talks in detail about the outline, ethics, human nature, royal road, history, ......"
"If this book can be used by every literati to study, I think the situation of my generation of literati will also change. ”
Yin Ming nodded, that scripture naturally deserved such praise.
It was "Spring and Autumn Dew" written by another world Confucian.
Although there are many of them involving theology and feudal dross, Yin Ming has selected them and only takes the essence of them into a book.
Yang Ziming closed the book and said, "Brother Ming, I just don't understand." ”
"Why do you have to say yes above that great hall, or even invite yourself to this barren place?"
"With your talent, as long as this scripture is shown in Hongjing City, you will be able to inherit the Jixue Palace in the future and become the leader of Wendao!"
Yin Ming smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically: "Ziming, although I came by myself, I was also excluded by others. ”
"But you, no one has said anything, you asked to come with me yourself, why?"
On that day, above the main hall, Yang Ziming invited himself to follow Yin Ming.
The emperor named him the governor of the western provincial government, in charge of the provincial government's affairs, which is equivalent to the secretary of the provincial government.
He is the hand-picked Tanhualang this time, and it is reasonable to be the secretary of a party leader.
It's just that the local magistrate he serves is a candidate in his same subject.
Yang Ziming sighed lightly and said, "Alas, Brother Ming, you and I are in different circumstances. ”
"I am a descendant of the previous dynasty, and the emperor will not kill me, it is already an extrajudicial grace. ”
"If I stay in Hongjing City, it will be full of thrills. ”
"You are different, you are Yin Dashuai's parent, who dares to really touch you?"
"Besides, you are friendly with Qinglin Hou and Feng Dashuai, and even the prime minister is desperate to protect you. ”
Yang Ziming lifted the curtain, and there was a barren land outside.
Unkempt weeds, blood-stained rocks, and even the remains of birds and beasts, and the remains of human beings, were scattered among the weeds.
Seeing this situation, it is like returning to the era when human beings drank blood and there was no civilization.
Yang Ziming sighed and said: "Alas, I came here to seek survival in death, but you came here to take risks!"
At this time, outside the carriage, Liu Teng lifted the curtain and said loudly: "Master, I'm hungry!"
Yin Ming said: "Then you go and hunt some birds and beasts, just make lunch." ”
On the side, a sergeant came over and said, "My lord, we have now entered the interior of Fengxi, but I am afraid that we will have to be more restrained." ”
Yin Mingqi said: "How do you say this?"
The sergeant said: "My lord, this Feng Xi is not as good as the Jingshi, there are many monsters infested." ”
"If you hunt indiscriminately here, I'm afraid that you will alarm some big demons, then it's a little bad. ”
As soon as the sergeant finished speaking, he smiled bitterly.
Not far away, Liu Teng turned around, rounded the copper hammer in his hand, and threw it out with his backhand.
The sledgehammer is the size of a human head, and ordinary people can't even carry it, and ordinary warriors use it hard.
However, this pair of big copper hammers seemed to be nothing in Liu Teng's hands, and they were thrown out by him and flew straight into the air.
The four sergeants accompanying him were stunned.
Although they had also seen some of the strongest people, it was the first time they had seen such a fierce young man.
The brass hammer flew high into the air, but it was smashing on the top of a large red bird.
The big bird was swooping in mid-air, as if it was going to hunt something.
Where did you think of it, a sledgehammer flew out of the air, and it was immediately smashed with gold stars in the eye, and his head was bleeding, and he fell headlong.
Liu Teng's copper hammer smashed to the ground, only to see dust rising everywhere, and the earth trembled.
Liu Teng laughed and ran over, picked up the copper hammer with one hand, grabbed the bird's neck with the other, and ran back in stride.
The previous sergeant smiled bitterly: "This, this ......"
Yin Ming said: "That's it, tell him to be careful next time." ”
