Chapter 41: The Golden Boy
As soon as the old man left, Liu Banxian hurriedly asked me, what did the old man mean?
I smiled and said, "He said that a general who had been dead for more than a hundred years was looking for me, as if he wanted something to give me." ”
"General? Something for you? Liu Banxian was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed, obviously feeling a little surprised.
Actually, I was also surprised that there would be a general looking for us, and, listening to the meaning of the old man's words, the general should have given me a sword.
Yes, in the old man's words, the sentence "There is a general on the back of Yin Mountain, who has lived in this mountain for a hundred years, and you will be able to protect Taiji tonight, so I will give you a gentleman's treasure!" It means that a general who has been buried behind Yinshan for a hundred years knows that I have saved the Taiji acupoint tonight, so he wants to give me a treasure, and this so-called gentleman's treasure, the gentleman is a sword, so what he wants to give me should be a sword.
When Liu Banxian heard me say this, he became interested for a while, saying that the general was going to give me some kind of sword, which made me so mysterious.
I'm also curious about how a general would come to give a sword.
At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves and armor colliding behind him.
I knew that the victim had arrived, so I quickly turned around and looked behind me, and sure enough, I saw a group of men and horses not far ahead.
Seeing this, I knew in my heart that this should be the general that the old man said, that is, the master who will keep me tonight.
I saw that in the black fog, there were two black flags faintly erected in front of the team, because there was still some distance, so I couldn't see what words were written on the two black flags.
I asked Liu Banxian if he could read the words on the flag clearly, and he shook his head and said that he couldn't see clearly from too far away.
Although the flag can't be seen clearly, it also proves that what the old man said is true, it seems that he is really a general who came to us, otherwise there would not be such a strong battle.
Soon, the group of Yin soldiers had begun to march directly in front of us. I saw two generals on war horses at the head, carrying black flags in their hands.
In the middle of the two banners that opened the way, there was a big general riding on a tall horse, as for why he recognized them as generals at a glance, it was because his armor was completely different from the armor of the soldiers, it was thicker and more majestic, and the figure was extremely majestic, just like the general image in everyone's previous film and television works.
Take a closer look, this person is more than eight feet long, his waist is ten girths, his appearance is majestic, his courage is unparalleled, he has a sword pinned to his waist, he looks fierce and vicious, and his face is extremely ugly, which makes people afraid to see it.
At this time, the big flag in the black fog can also be seen clearly, and the big flag has a big "Xu" written on it. Obviously, the general who came this time should be a general surnamed Xu.
Behind the general was a group of soldiers on foot. They were all wearing black armor like black iron, and each of them carried a green and faint lantern in their hands, and those green and faint lights flashed in this black mist, flickering and dimming, adding a strange and terrifying atmosphere to this team of yin soldiers.
What's even more terrifying is that the soldiers in these ranks don't have heads! Yes, there were no heads, because when we saw through the faint green light emitted by the light of their hands, each of them was holding a head armor in their hands, but the top of their necks was bare and flat, and it was obvious that these people had no heads, so they held the head armor in their hands.
Seeing this scene clearly, Liu Banxian was frightened first, turned his head to look at me in horror, and whispered, "He...... They don't have a braincase! ”
To be honest, seeing this strange scene, I also felt a little terrified, how come these soldiers are all headless ghosts?
But I still told him: "Maybe they all had their heads cut off before they died, because in ancient times, military merit was important, and if you had military merit, you could get a reward and get an official promotion, and this military merit was calculated according to the head, so in ancient times, the enemy's head would be cut off on the battlefield, strung with a straw rope and hung on his body, waiting to go back to record military merits." ”
We didn't go into the headless question anymore, because this was not the time to discuss it, and the other party had already come to us.
Raise your eyes and look, good guy, why does this majestic general look like the legendary Guan Yu, his face is red, as if he has a high fever, and he is red.
As soon as the general arrived, he immediately dismounted, and then said: "This surname is Xu, and he is the chief soldier of the Qing Dynasty. ”
The chief soldier of the Qing Dynasty was a powerful official, and he was a second-class official, and his official position was only one grade lower than that of the admiral. You must know that there are only three high-ranking officials now! In modern terms of the division of official positions, it is equivalent to the position of commander. Their status is not ordinarily high, they not only lead troops to fight, but they are also responsible for all internal affairs in the barracks, and it can be said that they have great military power, which is not comparable to ordinary officials.
Seeing that the official position in the future was so great and so polite, I quickly replied politely: "The general is polite, I don't know what is the matter with the general staying here?" ”
Mr. Xu saw that I asked directly, so he didn't detour and asked directly: "Sir, can you lend me an umbrella and lend me a piece of clothing." ”
As soon as I heard this, I was immediately confused, and thought to myself, what is he playing on us?
I tried to reply, "General, I don't have an umbrella, I don't have any extra clothes. ”
When Mr. Xu heard this, he was so angry that he picked up his sword and hit me at my feet, so frightened that I hurriedly dodged. I thought to myself, why did this general have such a hot temper, and he was polite to me just now, saying that he admired my righteous deeds, why did he pinch my feet with a sword now?
Moreover, it is not raining now, why do you still ask me to borrow an umbrella, and if you don't lend it to him, you will beat someone.
Mr. Xu didn't hit me a few times with his sword, and he was a little angry, so I hurriedly said: "General, why don't you wait for Ming'er, I'll burn an umbrella and a few clothes for you to be old?" ”
Mr. Xu glared at me and said, "I want to accommodate an umbrella and willow clothes, is it feasible?" ”
I was stunned when I heard this, what kind of umbrella is the umbrella? What kind of clothes is Yanagi clothing? Clothes made of willow wood?
I glanced at Liu Banxian behind me, he seemed to understand, and immediately whispered to me: "Xiao Fei, the umbrella refers to the Yin Mansion that accommodates the body, and the willow cloth refers to the willow coffin, it seems that this general wants you to find him a Yin Mansion and re-bury him elsewhere." ”
As soon as I heard this, it dawned on me that the general had asked me to help him move his grave.
Sure enough, after hearing Liu Banxian's words, Xu Zongbing immediately nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, I asked him, "Why did the general move the grave?" ”
Xu Zongbing immediately said with resentment: "I have made meritorious contributions in my life and established a career, once the power of heaven has come to the head, I will be turned upside down by copying my family and asking for the monument, and I will not be superborn in all directions!" Now that it has passed four jiazi, the predicament of the eight directions has gone to two, and we dare to come and talk to Mr. ”
