Chapter 36: First Arrival at the Base
Lingshan guest, Lingshan guest, go to the sky and the moon alone. I wanted to bring a flower, but I had no choice but to thank the flowers on the mountain.
Lingshan guest, Lingshan guest, who are the immortals going to drum for? I heard the sound of drums in the sky, and the sound of grief and indignation.
Lingshan guest, Lingshan guest, sacrifice and forgetfulness. I don't hear the male boat walking from you, but I see the tide rising and falling.
Lingshan guest, Lingshan guest, since then accompanied only the yellow crane. In the past, there were good bows and horses, but no one can ride and shoot them to this day.
Lingshan guest, Lingshan guest, when will the long hatred be extinguished? Lee Bo wanted to soul the sea, tears and shed into the long night. (turn)
Liu Chang sat comfortably on the back of a camel, drinking wine, chewing on jerky, and humming nursery rhymes.
He followed the instructions of the missing eye, set out from Chang'an, all the way to the west. This section of the road followed the caravan in Chang'an, and at first, the steward of the caravan did not agree. With a child, or a rich and noble son, how much trouble will be added along the way, in case something goes wrong, the anger of the child's parents is not something that they can afford as businessmen.
"Uncle, I'm just going to be with you, and I won't add any burden to you."
Liu Chang stirred his tongue: "We are rich people, not bad for money." ”
"Hey, doll, don't go around showing off your money, do you know who these people are? It's all a knife licking blood," the kind uncle kindly reminded him.
"Thank you, uncle" Liu Chang thanked him, thinking that if he could meet a few groups of robbers, it would be boring to walk with a dull head:
"Uncle, do you agree?"
"Agree to a fart, I was found by the patrol on the road, maybe I thought I was kidnapped. Son, go home, the merchant is not a joke, he wants to die. Obedient ha"
"Uncle, my parents are dead. It's not enough to keep some family business, I can only work hard now, experience and experience with you caravans, and then I can support myself in the future, otherwise I will have to starve to death on the streets in the future, you have pity on me, let me learn from you" Liu Chang said, rubbing his eyes vigorously, trying to squeeze out a few tears, but unfortunately, he failed, but his eyes were red.
"Didn't you say you're not bad for money?" The housekeeper was a little confused.
"I'm not short of money now, but I will definitely be bad in the future, and I still have to make up for my wife's money."
"How old are you to get a daughter-in-law?" The butlers were all amused by him.
"I have a wife who is married to my fingertips, and my father-in-law said that before I was eighteen years old, I couldn't earn 180,000 gold, so he regretted the marriage, and I really couldn't do it, so I sold all the property left by my parents to do business.
How can I do business, I heard that doing your business is the most profitable, uncle, you can take me. Liu Chang said pitifully.
"What, one hundred and eighty thousand gold? Are you crazy? I can't earn it in my life, and we can't do it in this caravan for another hundred years," the vicious old man finally aroused the butler's sympathy.
"It's not, but I have to work hard, and when the time comes, if I don't make any money, I have to let him see my efforts, otherwise there will really be no hope at all."
"All right, poor boy"
"Thank you, uncle" choreographed a bizarre life story, and finally convinced a caravan steward to take him on his way.
The main means of transportation and transportation of the caravan were camels and horses. At the place of departure, Liu Chang bought three camels by himself, one to ride, the one to ride, Liu Chang decorated him extremely luxurious and comfortable, you can sit, you can lie down, shelter from the wind and rain, and the two camels are also full of goods. Seeing Liu Chang's appearance as a gentleman, he hated the housekeeper so much that the roots of his teeth itched, and turned his sympathy into anger and fire, you haven't earned any money yet, so you spend all day drinking, pursuing enjoyment, and you deserve to be a bachelor. You will definitely be a bachelor in the future!!
The caravan steward, the loyal middle-aged man with a dark face and two eyes in his eyes, was so angry that when he saw his goods, he pointed at his nose and scolded him: the two camels were full of all kinds of dried meat, fruit and wine, or wine!! The wine was brought by us people, and you're going to camel him back again!! In the end, Liu Chang still couldn't resist the saliva sprayed on his face like rain in charge and surrendered! The goods of the two camels were gone, and they were given to the caravan, which ensured that he would eat and drink.
The agreement was reached, and both parties smiled with satisfaction.
Through the desert, across the meadows.
At the beginning, Liu Chang was still very happy, seeing all kinds of strange animals and strange flowers and plants, and he couldn't see the vast grassland at a glance. I saw a desolate desert, with no birds on it, no beasts below, and no grass on the ground. The excitement at the beginning slowly disappeared as the road extended, and the whole camel team became lifeless, only the jingling camel bells proved that the team was alive, no one spoke, Liu Chang also lost interest in speaking, except for drinking, Liu Chang couldn't find anything to do.
Even the legendary robbers didn't see a single one, and when they were resting at night, they asked the steward, and the steward said that now this is the Han land, and the robbers in the past were mainly Huns, and the Huns were beaten away. The robbers of the small group did not dare to rob the large caravan, and it was difficult to say when they got out of the Yumen Pass.
When they arrived in Longxi, most of the team continued to follow the Hexi Corridor and the road opened by Zhang Qian to the Western Regions. Liu Chang's caravan separated from the main army and headed southwest, entering the Qiang region (now Tibet).
After crossing the huge mountain pass canyon, Liu Chang also parted with the caravan. The caravan headed to the southwest of the Zhangxiong gathering area, Liu Chang, and set off towards the Great Snow Mountain. Of course, Liu Chang kept his promise and paid off the commission.
Set off with three yaks, the original camel, soon after crossing the Yellow River, was replaced by yaks, because camels are afraid of cold and not afraid of heat, yaks are the opposite, afraid of heat and not afraid of cold. Of course, it turned out that the goods of the two camels were exchanged for food and wine, and the black-faced uncle was so happy that he thanked the five fairies again and again, and met a stupid and rich master.
"Just like this, I still earn 180,000 gold. Be a single for the rest of your life" despised Liu Chang from top to bottom in his heart, three back and forth.
So far, the road has been relatively smooth, and there has been no trouble. Riding a yak, the yak is not as comfortable as a camel, or all the way to the west.
"I said, you don't have a heart, haven't you been home for too long, and you have forgotten the way? What kind of broken place is this, icy and snowy" Liu Chang walked on the white snow-capped mountains, full of ice and snow worlds, and the cold wind shouted. Not only was there no human being, but not even a living creature was missing. Liu Chang didn't react much to the cold, but he was lonely. This road is more than 7,000 miles, and it has taken nearly 100 days, and it was okay when I was in the caravan, after all, there are many people who are not lonely, and now, there are only three cows! The lack of heart eye is the lack of heart eye, and talking to him is better than talking to the cow... Uh, chat!
"The top of the snowy mountain is the first base" I don't know if it is frozen, and I don't have many words.
"What's wrong with you?" Liu Chang found that he was silent all the way and didn't like to talk.
"I think you're full of lies and dishonest," he said, and finally explained the reason.
"When did I lie all the time, why was I dishonest" Liu Chang was unhappy, this is about his character, and it must be explained.
"When did you have a father-in-law?" It turned out to be this, Liu Chang was funny in his heart.
"Can I have a husband in the future?"
"Later, not now"
"How long have you been on this planet, have you ever heard of the term "future father-in-law"?"
"Of course I did"
"Do you know what the future husband means?"
"Of course, the future husband is the future...
"Now, can you say I'm dishonest?"
"It seems that I can't"
"It's not like, it's resolute, I'm the most honest. No bullying! ”
Three days later, Liu Chang finally climbed to the position of a hundred zhang below the top of the north peak of Cuiyan Fairy Peak, and stood in front of a crack in an oblique moon-shaped cliff. The north wind outside the cave is howling, the sky is full of clouds and snow, but the wind and waves are calm inside the cave.
Liu Chang originally thought that the cave must be very dark, and the air must have a strong rancid smell, but when he got inside, he saw a light blue dim light, and this light, like air, did not just shoot from the entrance of the cave he had just entered, but penetrated through the cracks in the rocks.
These could not be seen outside the cave, but when they entered the cave, they saw the branches and leaves of ivy, tendrils and weeds that grew in the crevices of the stones. Liu Chang stood in the cave for a few minutes, the air inside was not cold, but very warm, and only now did Liu Chang notice that his eyes were not affected by the light, and could pass through the barrier woven with black like ink in the night.
His eyes see in the dark, so he can see even the deepest corners of the cavern. The cave is made of granite, and the walls are like diamonds. Walking along the dry slope made of stones, the stone walls on both sides gradually receded, and the road became wider and wider, and the road became smoother and more wide, but there was not the slightest trace of man.
Finally we came to a cave made of stones, which was the end, and looked around, it was not big, only a little wider than the way in, and there was no second fork except the way in. The green in the pinnacle has completely disappeared, without the slightest life, and it seems to be a forbidden area for life.
The stone wall in front of it, two zhang high and one zhang wide, slowly moved forward, and gradually revealed a bright white light around it, which gradually widened from thin as a hair. Liu Chang watched curiously, and when the stone wall was completely protruding, it moved to the left, gradually revealing the scenery behind the stone wall. It was a space two feet deep, and it shone on all sides and back, and the light was soft and not dazzling.
"Should I go in?"
"Yes"
The lack of heart eyes is much better: "There are surprises in it."
After Liu Chang walked in, the stone wall was slowly returned to its position, and when the return was over, Liu Chang suddenly felt that his body was slightly lighter, and immediately returned to normal. After standing firm, Liu Chang began to look up and down, left and right, front and back, no way! No windows! There was no passage to get out, and there was no sound of silence, left knocking. Knock knock, empty. Right knock, knock, also empty. The front knock, knock knock, also empty, the back knock, knock knock, also empty, knock down, knock knock is still empty, up, well, forget it, it's too high, can't knock.
What's going on, being hung up? It's still in a box and hanging. Just when Liu Chang was secretly wondering if he would smash it, his body sank again, and the door opened.
"Huh?"
Just when the door opened, a beautiful figure appeared in front of the door, it was his aunt Liu Ling, turned around, and the environment behind it was different from just now, it was obviously a cave just now, but now it has become a hall, a bright hall, and there are things like night pearls hanging everywhere, bright and shining.
"Little San, you're finally here," the aunt spoke first.
Xiao San didn't answer directly, but stretched out a finger and gently poked his aunt's sleeve, huh? There are feelings. Poke it again, it really feels good.
"Okay, this time my aunt is real," he said, taking Liu Chang's hand and saying, "You touch it"
Liu Chang took his aunt's hand, touched it left and touched it again, like a little villain who took advantage.
"Isn't it?"
"Hey, it's true, it's really you, auntie."
"Of course my aunt is real, can she lie to you?"
The aunt pinched Liu Chang's face, Liu Chang was unhappy for a moment, and reached out to pull away his aunt's hand.
"I'm an adult now, I'm not allowed to pinch my face."
"Yes, yes, the junior is an adult, my aunt is wrong, I won't pinch it in the future. Let's go, my aunt will take you to the room. Liu Ling took Xiao San's hand and left.
Liu Chang turned his head sideways again and looked at the small room that had brought him here, the door of the small room had been closed and turned into a wall. This thing is really strange, Liu Chang touched his head and turned his head, ignoring it, there are many strange things, I don't care about these two things.
Following his aunt around and around, through two corridors, Liu Chang came to the so-called room that his aunt said, which is a space carved in the stone wall, and the house is relatively simple, just a stone bed, and the bed is neatly covered.
"Auntie, why is there no one here? Just you? What about them? "Liu Chang followed his aunt all the way, but he didn't see anyone, except for his aunt, there was no one here, what was going on?
"There are two people in this base now, aren't you human? You are here, my aunt is so happy" Liu Ling exuded excitement and happiness: "Now, I not only have someone, but also my nephew, and I envy them to death." ”
"They? Who are they? Didn't you say nobody? Liu Chang sat on the stone bed, the stone bed didn't seem to be very hard, and he sat hard a few times, and it was a little elastic. Liu Chang looked down and didn't see any clues.
"The other four bases, some have been looking for hundreds of years, they have been looking for several generations, but they haven't been found, I found you as soon as I took over, isn't my aunt very lucky." You don't know. When they found out that I had found you, their eyes were red and they were jealous. If there are no racial restrictions, they will definitely come and grab people. Seeing their appearance, my aunt died of joy. ”
It seems that it is really not a family that does not enter the door, Liu Ling is deeply rooted in the genetics of the Liu family, and has the potential of Liu Chang, as soon as the conversation box is opened, it is endless.
Liu Chang, who was also talking in a stomach, had no way to speak, it was not that he didn't say it, he wanted to say it too much, the questions and curiosity that had been held in his stomach for several years, he had long wanted to ask after seeing his aunt, but now it's good, Liu Chang didn't find a chance to interject.
"Maria from the white base, I still have to look for it, saying that if I can't find it, I won't come back. It's so easy, don't find an old man and an old lady to come back, it's a lot of fun, hahaha"
Is this still my aunt? That aunt who is royally educated, suave, and knowledgeable? Doesn't it mean that my aunt is an eldest princess who is quiet and graceful, shows off her wisdom, is loved by everyone, and blooms when she sees flowers?
Liu Chang's jaw smacked and smashed on the surface of his foot.
