Chapter 52: Searching for the Ancient World

The patrol room of the yamen was silent, and the catchers who should have been noisy were rarely silent.

Of course, this is not because they have suddenly become self-contained, but because they have all been knocked unconscious on the ground, and many of them have written judgments with brushes on their faces.

For example, a strong man who is tall and has arms thicker than ordinary people's legs has the words "unreasonable" written on his face. Next to him, a tall thin man with thief eyebrows and rat eyes was written with the words "pit meng abduction".

Among this group of catchers, the words on the face of the head catcher are the most.

Others were writing a few words, and his face was densely written with a whole article in small letters.

"A heart of compassion, a heart of shame, a heart of respect, a heart of right and wrong...... All these things are available to everyone. A gentleman knows his heart and abides by it, and does not exceed the rules, which is for benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom. The villain knows his heart and abandons it......"

This article is very famous, and it is one of the "Ten Essays on Persuasion" written by Emperor Jiazi in the past, called "Keeping His Character Good".

"Ten Essays on Persuasion" is a Mongolian textbook of the Great Xia Dynasty, which must be learned by all those who have gone to school, and its status is probably similar to that of the first and second grade textbooks of primary schools in another world. In the entire Great Xia Dynasty, there was no one who did things for the imperial court who had not learned these textbooks.

...... As for whether you can memorize it, that's another matter.

Anyway, Pan Long can memorize it, and it is not a problem to write silently, and he can even write a good hand.

When I was in school at the official school in Dingfeng Town, other children had to take a meal of fried meat on a bamboo board from time to time, so that they were willing to honestly endorse and practice calligraphy. Only he was diligent every day, not only memorized all the textbooks early, but also worked hard to practice a good calligraphy, which made the old master very satisfied.

I remember that my mother saw the "Ten Essays of Persuasion" written by him silently, and once sighed: "It's much better than the temporary Buddha's feet, and learning is really more practical than relying on talent by hard work." ”

At that time, he only thought that his mother was sighing casually, but later learned that the person his mother said "relying on talent" was none other than his father.

As for using the power of the fragments of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, whether it is considered to rely on talent to study hard and practice hard...... That's hehehe.

After putting away the pen and ink, he leisurely walked out of the patrol room, leaving behind a group of pig's heads with words written on their faces.

These local catchers don't have any big crimes that need to be knifed, but these people usually do a lot of bad things like stealing chickens and dogs, bullying and dominating the market. If they are not taught some lessons, they may not get worse and worse, and the road will get narrower and narrower, and finally they will end up on the road of death.

Pan Long felt that this was not a matter of picking quarrels and provoking trouble, but of punishing the past and the future, treating the disease and saving people.

After a good supper, he slept peacefully, and went straight to Wolf's Head Mountain the next day.

Wolf Head Mountain is no longer called this name, but "Half Mountain". The mountain has a very strange topography, the left half looks like a wolf's head howling at the moon, and the right half ...... There is nothing on the right half, just a cliff.

From a distance, it looked like a wolf's head had been split in half, half of which had been stewed in the pot, and the remaining half was still there.

Pan Long specially asked Mr. Hua yesterday and learned the current name, general direction and main features of this mountain. After leaving the town, I followed the direction pointed out by Mr. Hua, and it didn't take long to find the mountain.

The mountain is quite steep, tall and majestic, and one peak is at least four or five hundred meters high. But the strange thing is that such a tall mountain has no grass, and the bare mountain is full of strange rocks, which makes people look very uncomfortable.

There are many legends about the origin of this mountain, but they are all nonsense. Its true origin has been lost in the dust of history because of the news blocked by the imperial court. Only in the notes that scholars circulated in secret did the true reason be recorded.

Pan Long walked along the mountain road, came to the half-broken cliff, and stopped.

He didn't just come to nostalgia, but more to observe the ruins of the battle between the two immortals and see if he could learn something from it.

He looked at the cliff wall carefully, and after a while, he found some special traces.

One part of the cliff was exceptionally smooth, as if it had been polished by something, and it was as smooth as a mirror.

"This should be the trace of the demon god Yiwu grabbing the head of the river god and rubbing it on the mountain. ”

The cliff is quite high, and it is close to a hundred feet from the ground. I don't know if the river god was really huge at the beginning, or did he fly in the sky and be hit by the demon god Yiwu with his head?

He was about to walk over when his heart suddenly moved and he stopped.

An indescribable feeling rose from the bottom of my heart, a bit like a warning omen, but there was no sense of danger, just a clear sense that something amazing was coming.

He stopped where he was, and after a while, he saw a man and a woman walking slowly.

These two people are quite handsome in appearance, and they can be called a talent. The two are somewhat similar in appearance, with sword eyebrows, starry eyes, sharp edges and corners, and heroic spirit. It's just that they all have some gloom on their faces, and they look a little worse.

Pan Long noticed that their clothes were very gorgeous, and the materials were all fine silks, bright and soft. The pearls and jade that go with the clothes shine softly in the sun, and you can tell that they are the best quality at a glance.

As the two of them got a little closer, he noticed that their clothes were so delicately made that they were so supple and supple that he couldn't even see a single seam left by the cutting and sewing.

(Seamless?)

His face remained impassive, and his heart became more and more vigilant.

The two approached slowly, and the woman glanced at him, but did not speak, but the man who had not even glanced at him on the road suddenly turned his head and asked, "Who are you, and why are you here?"

The man's tone was rather stiff, with a natural arrogance, as if he was accustomed to looking down on others from above.

In the words of the storyteller, this is called "the temperament of the superior".

Pan Long frowned and replied, "If the noble person thinks I'm in the way, I'll leave here." ”

These two people appeared suddenly, obviously there was something not very good, not to mention that this man's tone was quite expellive, even if this person spoke politely and politely, he was going to leave.

The man's expression was a little better, but the woman suddenly said, "Since we met, we are destined." I have a sentence that I want to ask you for advice. ”

She spoke much more politely than the man, and when she opened her mouth, the man frowned, but he didn't say anything, and it could be seen that among the two, the woman was faintly the leader.

Pan Long took a step back: "If a noble person asks, he should know everything and say everything. However, if you are shallow and have not seen much, I am afraid that you may not be able to meet your wishes. ”

The woman smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to be so restrained, for us, it doesn't matter how high or low our status is, anyway...... Forget it, let me ask you, if you have a loved one killed, do you want to avenge him?"
