Osmanthus laughed and said: "To tell the truth, fortunately you didn't say anything! If you didn't say anything, I didn't know anything! If you did, I would be in a dilemma: if I didn't report my father truthfully, it would be unfilial, and if I reported it truthfully, I would be a bad friend." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Well, don't worry, I don't want to care about their bad things, just because my father gave birth to me and raised me, and my father's life is difficult! From now on, I will not ask you anything you don't want to say. ”

Ruyan thought to herself, what did she mean by this, did she mean that I had already said it after I was drunk, and she didn't tell the secret? Or did it mean that I didn't say it at all? At the same time, her words could be understood as a heart-to-heart match, or it might be her seemingly casual last resort.

Ruyan felt that she couldn't guess, but for the sake of prudence, she still kept her hand and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, sister, what do I don't want to say?"

"Hahaha! No wonder, people call Zheng Huan Zhiduo, and I can't help you. Well, let them get up, and if they are seen in this sleeping position, the tongue of the woman of the capital will grow again. ”

Since then, a total of peach blossoms, such as smoke and osmanthus and a few maids, live together and work together.

Osmanthus was also in a cheerful mood.

Ruyan interpreted an important message from the words of Osmanthus at the same time: Dream talk to them, they should not be caught.

For her, now in Tongdu Mountain, it is more comfortable than in Hu'an Palace, except for hoping that Du Qunfang, Yu Mengyu and others will never have accidents, and often think of her parents and brothers, and there is not much to worry about.

The situation of the total peach blossom is different. Due to the lack of information, on the one hand, she is more worried about the dream language and the resulting changes in the Hu'an Palace, and on the other hand, her family will not only be anxious, but also more likely to be implicated by the fact that she does not fully understand the reason.

Fortunately, with the financial and material support of the Hubei government, and the preferential treatment of Jiaba Ping'an, in addition to not being able to leave the Tongdu Mountain for half a step, freedom is restricted, and life is not bad.

came and went, Osmanthus Flower, Peach Blossom, Ruyan and the three maids became best friends who "didn't say anything except one thing".

Replay at the time, the entrance to Longshui Gorge.

Hu Benmu Mangzi said: "Take a breath, the cat bends down, follow me, don't get lost!"

Mu Mangzi plunged into the smoke again, staring at Mengyu, Du Qunfang, and Lan Hui on his heels.

The smoke inside was so thick that it was impossible to see how big the hole was. Only the feeling under the feet is the most real, the deep foot is shallow and the foot, and then the feeling is that Mu Mangzi is familiar with the road. No wonder, no wonder, how many summer nights he has lived in.

The road was not long, and in one breath, I arrived at the place called the peach wood five-element board.

I couldn't see what the peach wood that was dedicated to stopping the demon looked like, but I only heard a "bang", and Mu Mangzi sled it away with a short sword.

This door, which was originally thought to be very strong and isolated from the outside world in Longshui Gorge, was easily opened by a fool, and Du Qunfang couldn't believe it.

He suddenly thought that it was Mu Zisan who gave Mu Mangzi guidance.

Indeed, Mu Zisan whispered to Mu Mangzi, but what Mu Zisan didn't expect was that in fact, Mu Mangzi had already studied this door thoroughly, and he could open it with his eyes closed, but it was not for the desperate escape that was impossible to predict today.

Suddenly, a gust of wind came from the entrance of the cave, and a few people who were holding back almost lost their breath of fresh air, feeling more refreshing than drinking cold water!

Following Mu Mangzi, through this gate, he turned a few small bends downward, and then he came out of the rock mass, and there was a cliff outside.

At the bottom of the cliff is the dangerous Longshui Gorge. At first glance, the canyon is bottomless, like a long snake winding into the distance.

The cliffs here are strangely grown, convex and closed, and a natural path bends into the cliff. This road was not made by man, but by nature, and it is suspected that the stone layer was broken.

Strangely, at the bottom of the dam behind Dongtingzhuang, there is a section of terrain that looks like a cave but not a hole and a road is not a road, which is often called "Yanqian" (a place where the rock is recessed), so it is difficult to find this place when you look at it from above.

There are many figurines standing in the "rock Qian", about 100 of them, blocking the way - to be precise, blocking the way to come.

Most of these pottery figurines are terracotta figurines, but there are also stone figurines, as well as wooden figurines, and very few bronze figurines have been found, which are estimated to be provided by the "chiefs" of these warriors or wealthy tribes.

Among these figurines, there are different shapes, some are humanoids, and the humanoid figurines have various weapons in their hands, some are in the shape of animals, some are in the shape of black ghosts, and some are unknown.

The colors of the figurines are red, yellow, black, white, brown, etc., and some of them have several different colors, or lines.

The size of the figurines is not uniform, some are tall, some are short.

Most consistently, these figurines all face the only junction leading to Longshui Gorge.

One more thing is the same, these "warriors", whether they are in human form, or in the form of beasts, birds, etc., have the same hideous expressions, which makes people daunting.

These figurines are not born, let alone made by gods, they are made by the great leader of Hu'an Mountain, Wuzi, who gathered the wizards of various sub-tribes and spent a lot of time and energy.

In addition to the common beliefs, each sub-tribe also has its own unique worship and unique craftsmanship, therefore, the figurines created have different shapes.

Back then, Wu Wuzi placed the figurines here in order to prevent the demons and monsters in the Longshui Gorge from coming up.

Therefore, when it was discovered in later generations, some people called it "witch warriors", and in the mouth of the old playboy Mu Zisan, it was called "ghost soldiers".

The significance and function of erecting these figurines are similar to the terracotta warriors and horses found in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

It's just that the Qin Tomb figurines are to protect the dead, and this figurine is to protect the living people in Hu'an Mountain.

At the same time, the scale, standardization, artistic level, craftsmanship level, and neat arrangement of these figurines cannot be compared with the terracotta warriors and horses of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.

In Wu Wuzi's view, the role of "them" is far greater than the peachwood five-element gate that was opened by Mu Mangzi.

Whenever the wind blows, the figurines will emit a sound similar to the shouting of samurai, and under the sunlight, the figurines will reflect different rays of light, so that the demons and monsters of Longshui Gorge will stay away.

In fact, there is an important role in leaving the peach wood door: according to the word of mouth of the owners of Dongting Village, every year, the owner of the village opens the peach door to guard the Dongting Village, and it is the heroic figurines who guard Hu'an Mountain, send a blood food (food mixed with animal blood, generally dog blood, they think it has the function of warding off evil spirits), if you want to say that it is a sacrifice, it is okay to say condolences.

This matter, according to the testament of the owners of Dongting Village, can only be secretly gone by the owner of the village. Therefore, in the current Dongting Village, only Mu Zisan has ever walked out of the peach door.

——This just explains the question of Lan Xun and the others afterwards: since the peach wood gate is the gateway to Longshui Gorge, why not use Dashi and other seals?

Of course, if he really wants to ask, Mu Zisan will give him a rhetorical question: No matter how tight the stone is, can it block the ghost?

Later, there were chasing soldiers, and Meng Mengyu, Du Qunfang, Lan Hui, and Mu Mangzi were not in the mood to visit the "Terracotta Warriors", and they didn't have time to express their respects. Only Du Qunfang said: "This is probably the ghost soldier that Mu Zisan boasted about!"

Mu Mangzi "easily" found the best gap between the figurines and the figurines, and took the escapees through the figurine formation smoothly.

After passing through the figurines, the road below is extremely steep.

Mu Mangzi took out the rope prepared earlier, and let the four of them tie it to a rope one by one, Mu Mangzi took the lead, and then Mengyu, in the back of Qunfang, and finally Lan Hui, two "up" and one "down", that is, two "back" and one "front", to protect the dream of the dream, and at the same time prevent someone from falling off the cliff.

They either walked against the wall, or pulled the small trees, grasses, and vines that sometimes came down between the walls.

Because they were too nervous, too concentrated, and there was no sound medium with a straight line above, and they were getting farther and farther away, they could no longer hear the shouts and killings from above, and they had already descended to several small natural caves.

Here, there are more than 20 steps of gentle road, the cave is on the inside of the road, and the cliff is outside.

Clothes can be wrung out of water.

Du Qunfang advanced a hole. This is a "dead cave", in which there are only dead stalagmites and stalactites, indicating that it is very old.

Du Qunfang checked it out and said, "It's almost, just wait for them in this cave." ”

As the guard of Wen Mengyuan in Hu'an Palace, and only received the "last order" of the caterpillar (of course, they didn't know it was the last order at this time), Du Qunfang was not allowed to be the temporary "commander", and ordered Yu Mengyu to enter the cave that had been checked, and Mu Mangzi was responsible for the personal guard;

Temporarily settling down, the three tiger ben drank some water first.

Mu Mangzi asked Yu Mengyu to drink water, but she didn't say a word or drink water.

As the four of them waited anxiously, night completely covered the land.

Mu Mangzi and Yu Mengyu stayed in the cave, and Du Qunfang and Lan Hui stayed outside the cave, no one said a word, as if they were suddenly dumb.

Everyone understands: the five caterpillars, like the pursuers, are no longer able to chase down!

Silence for a long time.

Suddenly, Dream, who was sitting on a hard stone, burst into tears......
