Chapter 420: Cultivating all the way to Stone City
readx;? The arrival of the Great Song Dynasty envoys once brought a sensation to the royal capital of Dali, and because the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty envoys combined with the capable people of Dali, forged large artillery and repelled the Mongols, when the envoys left, it caused a scene of 10,000 empty alleys.

In addition, the county lord Gao Caizhi accompanied the Chaohe group and various business groups, and the people were even more excited, and Longguan has now become a must-see attraction for Dali people, touch the cold artillery, as if he is a hero who has personally guarded his homeland!
As a result, many people responded to the imperial court's recruitment and went to Longguan to build the fortress, and young people also enlisted in the army, following the general Gao Tong and carrying firearms, to recover the lost territory in the north.
In contrast, the departure of Yang Jing and others seems a little deserted.
Although Xiangguo Gao Taixiang personally practiced it, and Duan Xingzhi, the king of Dali, also asked the great eunuch Wei Zhibao to bring the imperial meal and express his heart, but still not too many people noticed the departure of Yang Jing and his party.
Because Gao Hongyi's guards did not make a big splash, after all, the real Great Song Dynasty envoys had already been on the road, and Yang Jing and the others could no longer use the banner of the envoys.
Gao Taixiang took Yang Jing to worship the gods as promised, personally sent him out of the guest house, and when he arrived at the Wuli Pavilion outside the city, he said goodbye to Yang Jing and sent Yang Jing and others on the road.
Yang Jing's injuries had just healed, but he still rode his horse for a while before he got into the carriage.
When he turned his head to look, Gao Taixiang's slightly old back inevitably made people feel a little emotional, this old man is the man who secretly controls the entire Dali, but at this time, he is more like a father who can't bear to let his daughter travel, but he can't resist his daughter, and only hopes that Yang Jing can protect his daughter's father.
This kind of humility when he loves his daughter and his true character when he controls the government and the opposition forms a strong contrast, which makes people very moved, but helpless.
After leaving the ten-mile road, the team stopped for a little rectification, and the old monk finally took a few people and escorted a carriage to join Yang Jing's team.
Yang Jing came over to take a look, and sure enough, he saw Duan Chuhe, the lord of Qinghe County, who was a little sick, sitting in the carriage, his face was a little pale and ugly, and he couldn't adapt to the bumps of the carriage.
A county lord like her, who stays at home, is padded in the carriage and a veteran in the handlebar, but she still can't avoid the pain of traveling.
Yang Jing didn't want to say anything, just nodded with the old monk, and asked Gao Hongyi's people to strictly guard the carriage, so he just did it.
After all, the mountains are high and the water is far away, although the weather is warm and sunny after the beginning of spring, but the road is really boring and tight, the deer and white fish go out to forage with the tiger all day long, and the wind Ruochen and Liu Han are exploring the road in front, Yang Jing needs to recuperate, so he stays in the carriage, and the buttocks are grinding out of the cocoon.
He couldn't meditate day and night, and when he had nothing to do, he took out some miscellaneous books to read and pass the time, but he kept thinking about the bloodline theory in his heart.
This secret book was given to him by the old monk, and it is said that the old monk should know the content of the text, but Yang Jing could not figure out the old monk's intentions, and the old monk would not tell Yang Jing.
Yang Jing was also a little confused for a while, since he had the heart to teach, why did he still make trouble with these moths, and tell Yang Jing the translation straightforwardly.
It wasn't until the afternoon of this day, when the team stopped to rest, that Yang Jing understood the old monk's intentions.
Gao Hongyi was dispatching manpower, releasing scouts and guards, and letting people defend themselves, and then burying the pot to make rice, and the county lord of Qinghe finally got out of the carriage.
In fact, in order to take care of the county lord of Qinghe, the degree of the convoy slowed down a lot, and sometimes the county lord of Qinghe was unbearable and vomited, so the convoy had to stop and slowly follow the county lord of Qinghe on the road.
Every time it was time to rest, the county lord of Qinghe had to get out of the car and walk around.
Yang Jing was also suffocated in the carriage, so he leaned on the carriage and looked at the secret book intently, drawing and writing on the ground with a branch, trying to disassemble those strange words.
However, these characters have nothing to do with Chinese characters, and they are really not easy to decipher.
For example, countries such as ancient Korea and Japan also regarded Chinese as the common language of the upper class, and also borrowed Chinese characters from Chinese characters to create their own national scripts.
However, the text on this secret book does not have any traces of Chinese characters, and Yang Jing is also puzzled.
When Yang Jing looked up, he saw that the face of the county lord of Qinghe showed an abnormal flush, so Yang Jing said: "Lord Yang, the concubine knows these words..."
Yang Jing only understood at this time, no wonder the old monk did not pass on his translation, the emotion was to let the county lord of Qinghe go out, so that he could owe the county lord of Qinghe a favor!
This old monk is also cunning, if Yang Jing owes him a favor, with his skills, he doesn't need to pay it back at all, and if this favor is transferred to the county lord of Qinghe, Yang Jing will have to contribute to the county lord of Qinghe.
After all, after arriving in the Great Song Dynasty, many things cannot be solved by force that is invincible to 10,000 people, and Yang Jing will be needed to give advice and even come forward to defend it.
After learning about this layer, Yang Jing couldn't help but feel cold in his heart, does this also mean that as early as when the old monk sent the letter of state, Duan Xingzhi had already decided to let the county lord of Qinghe return to the Great Song Dynasty with Yang Jing?
Even the Buddha has three points of fire, Yang Jing also hates the feeling of being teased, it can be seen that the county lord of Qinghe has suffered in the past few days, and now he sees her taking the initiative to speak, Yang Jing can't bear to refuse, anyway, after returning to the Great Song Dynasty, he can't stand by and watch, so he loosens his heart knot.
"The county lord is really knowledgeable, and since this is the case, Yang is not ashamed to ask and hopes that the county lord will not hesitate to give advice. ”
The county lord of Qinghe was not modest, he just smiled, but he didn't make any moves.
Yang Jing saw that her smile was a little embarrassed, and immediately understood that he was a rough man, and it didn't matter if he sat on the ground casually, the lord of the county had received etiquette education since he was a child, and he couldn't squat next to him, let alone bend down to talk to you all the time.
Yang Jing hurriedly got up, moved a Mazar from the carriage, and invited Duan Chuhe, the county lord of Qinghe, to sit down, while he sat back in his place, listening to the county lord of Qinghe read the translation word by word.
The county lord of Qinghe didn't say what kind of text it was, let alone the origin of this text, but only said that this text had been lost, and she had also read it in some unique books.
Because everyone in Dali worships Buddha and has a hobby of collecting Buddhist scriptures, the Buddhist scriptures in the Dali palace are full of sweat, and the lord of Qinghe County naturally dabbles in a lot.
And some great masters of Buddhism, when they have a feeling, often write down some images that look like words but are not words in the epiphany of mysteries, and some masters will also leave similar things before their death or nirvana.
This kind of writing is called Hongwen, and it is said that Buddhists can get the perception of the life of the great Zen master by observing these Hongwen, which can be called the treasure of Buddhism.
Of course, these are just legends, just like the shopkeeper will use some special symbols to count, in order to facilitate the record, will increase or decrease the text, just like the secret inspectors of the Imperial City Division, in order to transmit information, often disassemble the text, and form a set of words that only the spy can understand.
There are such examples in all walks of life, and people in Buddhism also have such rainbow texts to inherit the feelings and thoughts in the process of participating in Zen.
Yang Jing knew that this was an old monk who was helping the county lord of Qinghe to ask for favors, so naturally he would not pursue these again, no matter what, the county lord of Qinghe was still helping him, and this favor was also real.
With the translation of the county lord of Qinghe, Yang Jing also suddenly enlightened, and evolved from the foundation building method of the blood theory of the Bodhidharma patriarch, washing the marrow and cutting the hair, so that he could feel comfortable all over his body, Yang Jing naturally practiced diligently.
When it was time to eat, the county lord of Qinghe stopped, and his own personal female official master brought the food to the wide carriage for the county lord to eat alone, while Yang Jing and Gao Hongyi and others ate a big pot of rice with the guards.
Seeing that the meal was about to pass, Liu Han and Feng Ruochen did not come back, and Lu Baiyu and Kui Hu were nowhere to be seen.
These few of them were all old men who followed Yang Jing, and they knew that they needed to be extra cautious on the way, and after experiencing the attack and killing of those elite assassins in Yun Duchi, everyone became more vigilant.
It is precisely because of this vigilance that they usually rush back in time at the appointed time to avoid Yang Jing's worries.
However, after a few days of traveling, this was the first time, and they did not return to the camp as promised!
There is still some distance from Shicheng County, and if you want to enter the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, it will take several days, that is to say, the remnants of the Mongols may still be lurking in the shadows and eyeing Yang Jing, so you can't take it lightly!
After Yang Jing had eaten, he discussed with Gao Hongyi, and then asked a few guards to go out to look for him, after all, the old monk couldn't leave the county lord of Qinghe, and Gao Hongyi's people couldn't all disperse at once.
Not long after the guards went out, Lu Baiyu returned to the camp with Kui Hu, and Yang Jing was a lot more relieved, Lu Baiyu was safe, saying that Kui Hu had touched a big prey, and it took some time.
With Kui Hu in charge of the camp, Yang Jing was also relieved, and after another meal, Feng Ruochen and Liu Han were also recovered.
It turned out that the secret inspectors of 6 Chang'an had some abnormalities in front of them, and Feng Ruochen and Liu Han rushed over to confirm it, so they delayed some time.
But in the end, it was just a false alarm, and it came back.
After this incident, Feng Ruochen and the others also paid more attention to this aspect, and would not delay for no reason, and when the time came, they would all come back to report, Yang Jing also felt that he was too timid, and gradually devoted himself to the cultivation of the bloodline theory, and after the arrow sores on his body scabbed, Yang Jing began to practice the sword technique called Jiufutu.
Because of the internal and external cultivation, Yang Jing did not feel bored, and after resting, the county lord of Qinghe also came to talk, and the days passed quickly.
Seeing that he was about to enter Shicheng County, Gao Hongyi felt like he was returning to his own territory, and set up camp at night, and the guards were also happily humming a little song.
Feng Ruochen and the others all returned to the camp, and even 6 Chang'an and those secret inspectors also shrank their defense lines and stood guard around the camp.
Because they know very well in their hearts that the more they should relax, the more they must not relax, because the enemy often chooses such an opportunity to make a move!
However, it turned out that 6 Chang'an and others were still too cautious, Yunduchi's dead guard failed, the Mongols withdrew their troops to the north, and the envoys left, where would the Mongols think that Yang Jing was here?
The night passed peacefully, and at noon the next day, the team finally entered the stone city, Gao Hongyi was entertained, and Yang Jing and others were settled in the county guard mansion at night.
At this time, even 6 Chang'an and the others were relieved, after all, Shicheng was Gao Hongyi's territory, heavily guarded, and the night before was the best time for the assassins to make a move, but there was no situation, indicating that the danger could be initially ruled out.
It's just that none of them thought that the really clever assassin wanted the unexpected, and what he wanted was to assassinate him when everyone thought he wouldn't make a move!
