171 Arraignment
The empty town of Heshan suddenly had many unfamiliar faces overnight.
The old people who remained in the town opened the door and could see the people walking through the town, taking shelter in empty houses with no one for a while, coming in and out, as if they were worried that the sky would fall.
These people are all cultivators.
Their accents are mixed between the north and the south, and some may even not speak for a long time, so they can only use their hands to gesture and write to communicate with others, some people wear clothes in the style of decades ago, and some even mention the current era name, which is actually the era name of the last emperor of the previous dynasty.
The town was almost turned upside down, and overnight tall stone pillars were erected outside the town, and the whole town seemed to be protected by an invisible transparent glass cover. The people lived in a big house in the middle of the town, and it didn't look like they were staying for a short time, as if they were going to stay for a long time.
First, this place is located in the heart of the Central Plains slightly northeast, and it is more convenient to transmit news from all directions, and secondly, it is not far from the sealed place, and the spirit birds fly fast, and they will arrive in one day.
Many people who had already left Heshan Town came back one after another, not because they found that Heshan Town had become safer, but because it had become more unsafe outside the mountain.
These people are not walking around aimlessly, people are cheap, they have discussed, elected a person to take the lead, and dragged hundreds of people with their families on the road together. If you are single, you will encounter strongmen, natural disasters, and beasts, and it will be difficult to resist. On the road together, the old and weak women and children walked inside in the car, and the young men walked outside with sticks and hoes, and everything was taken care of before and after.
Their original intention was to move to a village or town about 400 miles away, which was not too far, even if they only walked a few dozen miles a day, these days would be enough for them to get there.
But these people turned back the same way, and many of them were wounded. As for the food and goods that he had brought with him when he left, he had disappeared.
Those who stayed behind inquired carefully. Only then did they know that they had not yet reached the halfway point when they encountered the rebels. They didn't know who was fighting in front of them, but these rebels were defeated and fled, and when they saw the food and property they brought, they pounced on them like hungry wolves. In the end, they had to resist and flee, and the people were finally saved, but all their belongings were gone.
After inquiring about the news, I learned that the world outside the mountain was far from what they originally knew, and it had not been peaceful in the past few months, the prince was vying for the throne, and the generals were in chaos. The place they wanted to go to had already passed the army, and I heard that it had been destroyed.
There was no way, they had to come back.
Words of return. Anyway, there is a piece of tile to cover his head for the time being. If you go further, you have nothing to eat and nowhere to go, so you can only die.
These people who came back didn't expect their hometowns to change a lot.
And they can't get in. The town was right in front of them, but no matter how fast they went. The distance did not decrease at all, but instead watched as the town walked as if it had grown legs, getting farther and farther away from them.
The children in the group were crying with hunger, and the women had no strength to go any further.
At this moment, the man in the lead thought that this matter was not something that ordinary people like them could figure out. He gave an order to let people settle down and rest first, and then led the people himself and walked in the direction of Wulou Mountain.
Anyway, there are children in the town who worship and become disciples in Wulou Mountain. Although it is not a big deal, but the people in my own township and family ask for it, and they can't see death without help.
They are tired and tired. When I walked to the foot of the mountain, I couldn't support it, so I could only sit down and rest first.
The person in the lead turned out to be the chief of the town, who was already fifty years old, and with his age, his physical strength was certainly not as good as that of a young man.
"Second uncle. Why don't you rest at the bottom of the mountain, and I'll lead the two of them up the mountain." ”
"Nope." Du Baochang shook his hand: "Li Shun'er was still young when she went up the mountain. I've seen him, but you haven't seen him at all......" When the time comes, I don't know where to start if I want to climb the relationship.
"Then, let's hold you."
Du Baochang took a breath: "Okay." ”
Both of his legs were heavy and blunt, as if they were filled with lead, and it was difficult for him to walk on flat ground, let alone on mountain roads.
"Where are you going here?"
Several people were taken aback and hurriedly turned their heads to look. There was a very young girl, born like a fairy, and I don't know when she stood by the side of the mountain road.
They hadn't seen anyone on the mountain road just now, and they hadn't heard anyone coming.
Still the chief of the capital turned his brain quickly, and he hurriedly bowed deeply: "Hello fairy girl, the old man is the chief of the capital of Heshan Town, Hong Luo, who went up the mountain this time to ask the immortals for guidance, so that I can return to my hometown." ”
The others were not slow to respond, and they all knelt down and saluted.
Since Qiuqiu started cultivating, she hadn't had much contact with ordinary people, let alone being worshiped like this, and she felt goosebumps crawling all over her body for a while.
That Hong Dubao's beard is white, she can be her grandfather at this age, how can Qiuqiu let him worship himself like this.
"Don't be polite, but I'm not from this mountain, and I won't answer your requests. The mountains can't be easily entered now, so I can help you get a letter. You can get acquainted with the immortals and real people, and I will help you bring the words in. ”
Hong Luo hurriedly reported Li Shun'er's name, and Qiuqiu muttered twice: "Li Shun'er, right?" This is his common name, right? He will go up the mountain, do you know? ”
Fortunately, Hong Luo really knew: "Yes, yes, I heard that he has a Taoist name called Jinting." ”
Qiuqiu was stunned.
Golden Court ...... She seemed to have heard.
Yes, she did hear that the little maid Jin Er next to Changyang Zhenren seemed to be called this Dao number, but Changyang Zhenren never called him by his full name, always called Jin Er Jin'er.
"Okay, I'll take care of you."
However, Heshan Town's matter is not big, it is not small, now that the mountain is so strict, Jin Er will definitely not be able to be the master, his master Changyang Zhenren is about the same.
Qiuqiu came out of Heshan Town, and she went to the small shop where Fu Jin Zhenren used to stay, but she didn't find any useful clues in it, and she stayed for a long time just to touch the scene.
Of course she knew the situation in the town, and it was normal for the townspeople to move away for fear of a catastrophe. But she didn't know why these people had returned.
She went up the mountain and found a miscellaneous disciple and asked him if he knew where the Jin Ting next to Changyang Zhenren was, and that someone was looking for him at the bottom of the mountain. That disciple usually does this kind of work as running errands and passing on messages. Without even thinking about it, he replied: "Changyang Zhenren is in retreat, as for that Jinting junior disciple may be in Danku, I'll go and see it for you, and when I find him, I'll let him go to see you." ”
"I'm tired of my brother."
"Where, where, don't dare." That disciple is not confused.
This girl is the palm of Jiufeng, although she may be older than others, but compared with others, she has lived to be a dog. People can be regarded as young and promising, and the future is limitless. Myself...... In fact, it's just a little bit better than the ordinary people under the mountain.
He ran to find Jin Ting.
Jin Ting plunged headlong into Danku, he didn't expect that this distinguished guest who was in charge of the real person would be the little girl Qiuqiu he had seen at that time, and he didn't know what this distinguished guest was looking for him for a while. On the way there, he thought. Could it be that the person this guest is looking for is his master? It's just that the master is now in retreat, and it is inconvenient to entertain guests, so he asked himself to ask questions.
He straightened his clothes and straightened the crown on his head, and then respectfully announced that he was invited to enter.
The man inside said, "Come in." ”
Jin Ting responded. He stepped in in a proper manner, saluted first, and then didn't dare to rashly raise his head to look at this palm peak. First, they are distinguished guests with different identities. Second, the family is still a woman, there is a difference between men and women, and he can't let people say that the disciples of Wuloushan don't know how to be polite.
"Senior Brother Jin'er?"
Jin Ting was stunned for a moment.
"I'm Qiuqiu. Do you remember me? I once went to Changyang Zhenren's medicine house with Senior Brother Jingyuan. ”
Of course he remembers.
He also sent a message to Qiuqiu, but there was no reply. This time there was an accident in Xiuyuan Mountain. He thought that Qiuqiu probably had an accident together, and he was sad for several days.
Jin Ting raised his head, and Qiuqiu smiled at him: "It's been a long time, are you okay?" ”
Jin Ting was as stupid: "Okay...... Good...... How are you? ”
"Well, it's me."
"I've sent you a letter. But you didn't reply......"
"Something happened, shortly after I got back to the mountain. Let's go to Jiufeng. ”
There are so many things in between, it's hard to put into words.
Jin Ting couldn't have imagined that the little girl at that time would now become a big man to look up to, life is really full of twists and turns, and everything is unexpected.
Qiuqiu didn't have time to catch up with him: "Someone is looking for you under the mountain, and he claims to be the chief of Heshan Town, called Hong Luo." They had planned to move away, but for some reason they came back. You know, there are many other sects in the town, and they have set up formations, but these people who have come back are blocked by the formation and cannot enter the town. They're looking for you, and that's what they're looking for. ”
Jin Ting was really surprised, and immediately didn't care about asking Qiuqiu about the past: "Really?" I remember Hong Baochang...... At that time, I was going up the mountain, and he went to my house to see ......me off, "But this matter is not big, it is just some ordinary mortal things, it is not small, and now it is strictly guarded everywhere, and it is a trivial matter to let these people into the town, but what if something goes wrong because of this?"
Jin Ting was in a hurry, and he couldn't think of a way.
Qiuqiu persuaded him: "Don't worry, I think there will always be other people on your mountain who also come out of Heshan Town, right?" You might as well discuss it with them, and everyone can be considered to be on the same page. One more person, always one more way. Let's see if you want to ask the real person in charge to call the shots, or think of another way to settle the townspeople first. ”
Jin Ting suddenly opened his mouth, and replied repeatedly: "Yes, yes, then I'll go." ”
The frame he ran out of was almost as if he was going to rush to put out the fire, and Qiuqiu couldn't help but smile.
Shi'er stood by the door, glanced at the young disciple who ran out, and then at the smile on Qiuqiu's face, pursed her lips slightly, and asked as she stepped into the room, "Who is that person?" ”
PS: A more send, sincere star eyes for votes.
My son's eyes were red, and he went to the community hospital today, and the doctor there said that keratitis should be hung with water. But the family couldn't believe it, and decided to go to the specialized hospital tomorrow to have a look, everyone, I will try to find time to make up for the debt.
