Chapter 453: Time Changes
Remember [Pen ♂ Fun → Pavilion in one second.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Ruyan is not a local, and he has never heard of the meaning of "Brother Xianger", so he said with a smile: "The local people who are the most thrifty and reluctant are called Xianger."
Ruyan smiled embarrassedly.
"I mean a joke. Thrift is a virtue, and Brother Mu is afraid of wasting good materials. The last time he was seriously injured, it was because the Chu people occupied a hearth warehouse for making weapons, and there were many good materials in it, and he led people to sneak attack the Chu people in the middle of the night and snatched most of the good materials back, but he was not lightly injured. ”
Mu Zhong said with a smile: "I am a poor family, not as rich as Hu'an Palace, the son plucks a cold hair, it is thicker than my waist, not to mention the dragon's beard, I naturally have to be careful in my calculations." If it hadn't been for the last injury, I would have accompanied my father to the sinkhole. ”
While talking, Mu Zhong invited Meng Long and his party to the reception room.
Entering the reception room, Meng Long asked Mu Zhong to make a simple arrangement, and the food and lodging will be enough; tomorrow when he enters the mountain, except for the people who send the necessary sacrificial items, the miscellaneous people do not use, and do not say to the public that he has arrived at the Mu Village.
Mu Zhong complied one by one.
That night, Meng Menglong, Mu Mangzi, and Mu Zhong curtted their knees and talked until midnight, needless to say, the main content was the war, especially the war that Hu'an Mountain was about to face.
The exchange between the three of them involved many aspects, among which Mu Zhong put forward a suggestion: from the experience of the three major tribes of the Yu clan, the Gong clan, and the Yushui Ba clan, Hu'an Palace should prepare for the worst.
The Dream Dragon was noncommittal, and Mu Mangzi thought it would be difficult for the Dream Dragon to make such a decision, so he did not comment.
The sun returned to the east, and Menglong and his entourage, accompanied by Mu Zhong, went to Baihutou Mountain to worship the white tiger god Bawuxiang and ask the gods to bless them. The process does not say.
Later, when the firewood collectors could also enter the White Tiger Head Mountain at any time, people searched the whole mountain, but they could not find the White Tiger Head Stone, and it is rumored that it was buried by the mountain that collapsed later.
There is also a smart person's saying that back then, Wuzi and Mu Jiu, the leader of the Mu clan, performed a double Huang, one had the right to worship the White Tiger God, and the other was exempt from a large amount of tribute, and it was a suspense that no outsiders were allowed to see the White Tiger Head Stone, including their descendants who had been kept in the dark. The big drama is over, and the props should naturally be collected. Baihutou Mountain has also reverted to its original name "Matou Mountain". - That's for later.
After worshipping the White Tiger God, he left the Mu village at noon that day, took the canoe arranged by Mu Zhong, followed the Daxi River, and entered the Wujiang River at the mouth of the river.
On the way, they passed through a gorge of the Great Creek River.
I saw that the stone cliffs on both sides of the bank were high and majestic, undulating, the vegetation was abundant, the grass and trees were shady, the green pines and green bamboos, and the birds and beasts were singing continuously. If spring comes, the birds and flowers here are fragrant.
They also found that there was a hole on the bank, which was called the Big Fiber Cave by the boatman, and there were dark rivers, waterfalls, stone stalactites, and many branch holes.
Yu Mengyu liked this canyon very much, and said: "This canyon is so beautiful, if only it were on Hu'an Mountain." She wished that all the beauty would grow on Hu'an Mountain.
People call this canyon "Garden Gorge". Later generations called this place "Yajiang Xiaoshan Gorge".
In this canyon, there is a Ba people's eternal mystery, by the way, transcribe a blog post by a local teacher Zhang Zhongqun, which reads as follows:
Below the cliffs on the north shore, there is a dam of several hundred square meters, which is flat and smooth. There are artificially made stone holes on the cliffs, and there are thick traces of cooking smoke, which can be seen that people have lived in it for a long time. In particular, at the two-meter-high cliff of Pingba, I don't know who wrote a treasure poem with red lead, with a total of seven sentences:
"One spring [two springs] [three springs] flowers bloom, two birds [two birds] [three birds] outside, three people [two people] [three people] Yan Gong arrived, the wanton [two guests] [three guests] Shangjiu came, five earth horses [two horses] [three horses] carried, and the door of the land fan dragon door opened. What does that mean?"
Legend has it that this is a spring in the Warring States Period, in order to avoid the war, the Baguo Fuling Taishou sent people to use five donkeys to carry gold and silver treasures and bury them here, leaving this poem. During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, a person surnamed Dou did not know where to get this poem, came here to look for three years, but returned in vain, and left this poem on the stone wall when he left.
Interested friends, after cracking, go to Garden Gorge to hunt for treasure and make a fortune.
Without further ado, the book gets back to business.
When the group returned to Hu'an Mountain, it had already snowed for the first time. When I arrived at the gate of Hu'an Palace, there were already maids Ruyi and others who braved the snow to pick them up.
For the daughters on Hu'an Mountain, this snow is not the thickest they have ever seen, but it is the first time that Gongpeach Blossom has seen such a thick snow and such a beautiful snow scene.
Yu Menglong said that he had something to do, and accompanied by Lan Hui, he went back to Hu'an Palace first.
A few others played in the snow, had snowball fights, and built snowmen.
Mu Mangzi looked at the beauties in the snow and thought: Will there be such a wonderful scenery next year?
War, for the Ba people, is both a numb topic and a sensitive topic, Mu Mangzi knows that as soon as he says it, he will sweep everyone's interest, and immediately have fun, what's wrong, join their game.
At this moment, the red-faced tiger and Longteng general Fan Yuntong is on the Tongdu Mountain (Yutai Mountain).
Before the Menglong and his entourage set off to Baihutou Mountain in Daxi River, the red-faced tiger Fan Yuntong thought that he had not been home for several years, especially after his mother passed away, and he had not gone to worship, and he was very ashamed, so he made an appointment with Chu Wei (Chi Wuxing), a tiger warrior who was also from the capital, and went back to his hometown to take a look together.
Mrs. Ba Yongqiu heard that Fan Yuntong was going back to the capital, and especially reminded him to go to the mountains of the capital, see the osmanthus flowers, and hoped that the two could renew the old friendship, but one of his own matters was also an explanation to the late Fan's mother.
Fan Yuntong has not returned to the capital for several years, and the main purpose of returning to the capital this time is to worship his mother, to be precise, his adoptive mother, and of course, he also worships his father Fan Zhen, his brother Fan Jin and the spirits of other ancestors of the Fan family.
Next, Fan Yuntong specially went to pay homage to the former lieutenant general Ba Xiu and the old doctor Manzhi, who died of illness during the recent Ba Tong war, to thank the two benedicts for saving their lives.
Then, Fan Yuntong walked up the Tongdu Mountain alone and in a nervous mood.
Along the way, I saw the red-faced tiger who often came to play when I was a child, and I didn't like nostalgia very much.
What made him even more melancholy was that when he saw him, he was not as surprised as he hoped, but was given a special reception by Osmanthus in a sneering manner, and was teased so much that he wanted to find a crack to get into the ground, and he didn't say what he wanted to say.
From morning to afternoon, Fan Yuntong stayed on the mountain for more than two hours, and Osmanthus accompanied him for more than two hours, almost walking the essence of the entire Zongdu Mountain together. For every special attraction, even every special tree, the two of them have to stop and observe, discuss what has changed compared to before, and talk nonsense.
Fan Yuntong found that whenever Osmanthus was about to be "carried away" by the happy past, she seemed to return to the unhappy things, and Fan Yuntong never had a chance to say what she wanted to say.
During this period, the lord and servant of the osmanthus also specially entertained Fan Yuntong with the fruits of their own labor (the grain, vegetables, poultry, fruits, etc. they planted).
It was only at this time that Fan Yuntong had the opportunity to thank E Guihua for saving his life, and directly expressed his regret that he had no eyes in the past.
However, Fan Yuntong felt that E Guihua seemed to have forgotten the past, and his expression was quite calm, so he didn't need to say more.
He felt that Osmanthus had completely lost the coquettishness of the past, just like an immortal who had cultivated to a very high level, coldly watching the joys and sorrows that happened in the world, but his heart was as calm as water.
At the same time, Fan Yuntong found that the osmanthus flower, who was slightly thinner than before, had white and tender skin as before, fresh and refined, and did not have the haggard complexion and resentment in his eyes that he thought of before he met, which seemed to be more moving than before.
At the end of the afternoon, Fan Yuntong said goodbye to E Guihua, because that night, his younger brother Fan Ju and Zheng Rong, the general of the former Shicheng military camp, arranged a small banquet, that is, fifteen or sixteen small gatherings from childhood to adulthood.
The osmanthus sent Fan Yuntong for several miles, until the only passage in and out of the Zongdu Mountain, Zoumaling.
When parting, E Guihua said in a deep voice: "Look below, the rolling river has taken away how many heroes of Pakistan have been taken away." The world is in turmoil, the national disaster is at the head, you are the first sword of Pakistan, there is no place to go, only the battlefield! If the gods do not bless, when you die in battle, it is the day when I will accompany you!"
When Fan Yuntong heard this, she understood that although she still had no chance to say it until this time, she was completely clear about the purpose of her coming this time, and a long-lost feeling rose sharply from her heart, and she was very moved, and thanked her: "Thank you for not giving up, no tooth is unforgettable! With your words, the red-faced tiger has no regrets! However, when the time comes, you don't have to do stupid things." ”
"Hahaha! A few years have passed, and you are still so self-righteous! You can rest assured, E Guihua is no longer the fifteen or sixteen-year-old little woman, and she will no longer die or live for a ruthless and unrighteous man!"
Fan Yuntong was indulging in the good mood of the rekindling of the old love, but she didn't expect that Osmanthus Hua's words suddenly changed, and she was teased again, secretly thinking that she had let go of herself, and she was ashamed to leave, and when she was about to leave Hu'an Mountain, Mrs. Ba Yong Swing told her to say to Osmanthus that she would rebuild the old and return to the Hu'an Mountain grassland together, and finally spit it in her throat for the last time, and swallowed it back into her stomach again.
Farewell to the osmanthus flower, Fan Yuntong had all the flavors in his heart, walked slowly, and returned to the capital, Fan Ju, Zheng Rong and others had already prepared wine and meat, and waited for a long time.
At the banquet that night, Fan Yuntong and Chu Wei (Chi Wuxing) were the guests of honor, so they naturally wanted to drink more wine.
Returning home this time, whether it is accommodation, or ancestor worship activities and other arrangements, Fan Yuntong found that his younger brother Fan Ju, who has been hated and suppressed by himself since he was a child, has only been a few years, especially after the death of his eldest brother Fan Jin, he has already taken on the heavy responsibility of the family, and he is also sincerely welcome to his home;
If it was before, Fan Yuntong would definitely be unhappy in his heart, and even angry, but tonight, he felt very relieved, and drank with Fan Ju continuously, reminiscing about the past, but declined Fan Ju's suggestion to him to stay in the capital.
According to Fan Yuntong's previous flamboyant habits, when he returns to his hometown, he will definitely call friends and eat and drink, so that the whole fang knows that he is back. But this time, he was quite low-key, and found that many of his childhood friends had died in battle; some were married, and their wives and children were hotly bed; and some had no news.
Fan Yuntong is an out-and-out military general, or martial artist, but he grew up in the general's mansion since he was a child, and he has his military ideals, to a certain extent, it can also be said to be political ideals, but he understands more and more that after leaving the political sub-center of Pakistan (the old capital) for a few years, he has been far away from the special attention of the highest level of Pakistan.
His dream when he was a teenager was to rely on his martial arts (now he understands that he must also borrow the influence of his father Fan Zhen) to one day serve as the commander of the Huben army in the capital Jiangzhou, and become the chief general of the strongest military force in Pakistan. Now he knew that the dream had been shattered.
In addition to going home to visit his mother, younger brother Fan Ju and other family members, Fan Yuntong only visited a very small number of friends such as Zheng Rong, and courtesically visited a few dignitaries such as the eighth prince Ba Yuan'an and the doctor Zheng Huan.
These two famous Pakistani warriors seem to have suddenly found that time has passed, and those who once cared about it do not care now; those who once did not care about it now care; those who once took the initiative or had to give up will not come back, and they no longer belong to the noisy and complicated old capital of Pakistan, but completely belong to Hu'an Mountain, which has unique scenery and relatively simple interpersonal relationships, and belongs to the lower reaches of Danfu River in the lofty mountains.
