Chapter 179: Falling Flowers Are More Fragrant
Passing through the border of the central continent, above the sea of clouds, the sun shines.
"It's home now. The old man said lightly, took a sip of wine, and pointed to the northwest: "When we get to the devil's city, let's rest first," he patted Snow Eagle's head as he spoke, and he raised his neck and shook off the hand that the old man wanted to continue touching. The old man smiled and said: "If it doesn't rest, it probably will have a temper with me, an old man, hey, he pretended to be honest and entered the Dream Sect, but he didn't expect to be a big temper?"
Lin Futian looked at the snow eagle, and then said: "Grandpa, this snow eagle should have been trapped in the current realm for too long, and the anger in his stomach is so panicked, that's why he is so impetuous, right?"
"Huh? hahaha...... This guy has been trapped in this realm for more than 500 years, and there has been no progress, so he looks like a bear. The old man glanced at the silent Snow Eagle and called out, "Old man?"
"What are you doing?" Snow Eagle finally asked, angrily.
Xinghua suddenly moved a few steps forward and lay on Snow Eagle's neck, the thick snow-white hair cushioned under her body extremely comfortable, Xinghua squinted her eyes and felt it carefully. It was the first time I saw Xue Ying speak for the first time in this way, and I couldn't help but be a little curious. She pulled Lin Futian's hand, Lin Futian looked down, Xinghua squinted and smiled, didn't say anything, Lin Futian nodded lightly, smiled, and then looked at the old man.
The clouds faded away, and the blue sky stretched to the edge of the earth.
The old man carried the flask in one hand and tapped it again on Snow Eagle's head, this time with a little effort.
"What!" said Snow Eagle angrily.
Twilight looked at her feet in surprise, and Snow Eagle's body shook a little, almost not standing still.
"Bai Ge, don't mess around. The old man said in a deep voice.
Xue Ying was silent, and his heart was deprecated: "You hit me in the head first, why is it that it has become my fault now?
When he was about to arrive at the Devil's City, Lin Futian suddenly asked Xue Ying: "Has the Heavenly Burial Tomb of the Northern Yuan Dynasty gone?"
The old man's eyes lit up and he stroked his beard and smiled.
Snow Eagle's huge body suddenly paused in the air, "Do you know where the Heavenly Burial Grave is?!"
The heavenly burial hill of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was once known as the holy land of the Snow Eagle, and it is said that the four seasons are like winter, and it is frosty white all year round, which is the holy place for the Snow Eagle to cultivate. But later, I don't know what happened, causing the celestial burial hill, which is known as the holy land of the snow eagle, to disappear, and later the people who went to hunt the falcon and the snow eagle who looked for the holy land never saw the celestial burial post again.
It was already hundreds of years ago, how did this young man know?!
"Yes. Lin Futian said calmly.
Snow Eagle was shocked, "Boy, you're not kidding me, are you?!"
"No, I'll tell you later, don't worry. Lin Futian clasped his hands on his sleeves.
The guards standing on the walls of Devil City all looked up at the huge snow eagle in the sky, and the forest burial sky standing above.
"Who's coming?!"
Lin Futian walked to the front and took out the Lin family from his sleeve
The family emblem was shown to everyone on the city wall, and said to a general: "Lin Futian." ”
"Childe! Childe is back!"
There was a commotion on the city wall, and then soon they lined up in an orderly manner, opened the city gates, and lined up in two groups to welcome Lin Futian and his party.
The ground was dusty, and the two teams of black horsemen were awe-inspiring.
The snow eagle slowly fell, and they walked down slowly.
Even if he didn't look at the black horsemen on both sides of the line, Lin Futian could feel the heat in the eyes of the cavalry.
The old man was amazed: "The black rider of the Lin family is still as domineering as ever......"
Lin Futian nodded lightly and said with a smile: "I haven't been home for a long time, everyone should know the news of going home now, right?"
"The black rider's transmission speed is still very fast, and it is estimated that your father and mother will know tomorrow morning. The old man said with a smile.
The group slowly entered the city, and the black riders looked at the young man in black who was the leader. Sure enough, it was the young master of the Lin family, and the momentum on his body was unusual! The general in charge of the Devil City was a loyal and honest middle-aged man, with a beard and clear eyes.
Lin Futian naturally saw the man who was looking at him cautiously, and after thinking about it, it seemed to be called "Hu Mountain", although the name was ordinary, but there was "Devil Mountain" in the Lin family army This well-known name, in addition to being in charge of garrisoning the Devil's City, or because of his own iron-blooded means in the army, many soldiers who have been trained by him have made a lot of achievements on the battlefield, and those soldiers who are terrifying on the battlefield have become like children who have made mistakes in front of Hu Shan, and they dare not make a sound.
When Hu Shan saw Lin Futian coming, he said hello to the old man, said hello, and then said to Lin Futian with a smile: "Young master, when you come back this time, you won't leave, right?"
Lin Futian smiled and said, "I will stay for a while, and when I finish dealing with this matter, I guess I will have to go to the imperial capital to do something." ”
Hu Shan sighed softly, a little regretful, Old General Lin is now old, and after returning from the last trip to [Snow Plains], he can obviously see the twilight of the old man. The hero is in the twilight, and he can't help but have a sour nose.
The old man in white stroked his beard and smiled, he understood what the young man meant, the old guy's skills in governing the army were still the same as back then, and the generals under him were so loyal, alas, it was also the blessing of the old man.
Lin Futian and Hu Shan walked side by side, and Lin Futian suddenly smiled and said: "General Hu, don't worry about the snow eagle outside the city, and it will pass by itself when it arrives at the Void Pavilion." ”
Hu Shan nodded: "Okay!" He was a little surprised that Lin Futian would actually remember his name, but when he thought about it, he was from the Lin family, and he didn't feel strange. The style of the Lin family has always been like this, and the same is true for the leaders of the army, even if the old general is much older now, but he still remembers the names of his subordinates clearly, so that every soldier of the Lin family feels very cordial and willing to follow him all the time
。
Xinghua asked curiously, "Why is this place called Devil's City?"
Twilight also looked at Lin Futian. In fact, she is also very curious about the name of the devil's city, and if there is a city that will have a daunting name? The word "devil" has never been a good word, with mixed reviews and few compliments, and people will always think of some bad things when they hear the word "devil". Evil and sneaky, ghostly conjuring, are all reminiscent of something close to death.
Hu Shan explained: "The reason why the Devil's City is the Devil's City, in addition to the old general's original name, is also because the geographical location of this city is located in the northwest border, at the junction of the central continent, in order to deter outsiders and take such a somewhat taboo name, because [Snow Field Us] is in the north, and we are relatively close, so the name of the Devil's City is also to play such a role in deterring the north." ”
In fact, there is another reason that is not known to outsiders, that is, in the middle of the night in the Devil's Town, there will be a ghostly sound similar to a baby's crying, and the wind is gusting, because of this reason, it also scares away many outsiders who want to live in the Devil's City for a long time. Hu Shan whispered to Xinghua.
Lin Futian smiled, the truth of the name of the Devil City will naturally not be so evil, but it is definitely not so simple, every city in the Lin family's territory has its inevitable reason for existence, but these things involve too much, it is estimated that only the old man and his henchmen really know the whole truth of the matter, right? As for his father, although he also has a well-known name in the empire, with Lin Futian's understanding of him, he will not care about these "details" Even if you tell him, it is estimated that he will soon forget about it. The old man is because his son is too unreliable, and it is okay to lead the army to fight, but if he is the head of the Lin family, he is a little unqualified, so the old man has been looking forward to Lin Futian, this young master of the Lin family can become an adult as soon as possible, can shoulder the heavy responsibility of leading the Lin family army earlier, and can also assume the identity of the head of the Lin family. I am old, and it is unrealistic to stay in this position all the time, the truth that the blue is better than the blue, the old man still understands, if you don't want to be rejected by the times, then you can only choose to go on your own.
Lin Futian asked, "General Hu, so now in the Devil's City?"
Hu Shan said with a smile: "It's all the Lin family's army." ”
Lin Futian nodded and said, "Yes, it's better not to let outsiders stay here, it's too much trouble." Lin Futian raised his head, looked at Hu Shan, took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Hu Shan, and said with a serious expression: "General Hu, you go back and take a closer look at this letter, after a while, um...... If it's fast, it's a year, and if it's slow, it's within three years. ”
Hu Shan carefully accepted the envelope and kept it close to his body. "The Admiral knows. ”
Lin Futian nodded and said with a smile: "The Devil's City was handed over to General Hu, it was the right decision made by the Lin family, and the days ahead are still very long, so it will be hard for General Hu." ”
Hu Shan was flattered and hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare,
That's what the last general should do. ”
Lin Futian smiled and patted Hu Shan on the shoulder: "Okay, don't be modest, I'll take the black horse back to the city later, everything will be as usual, and ...... in the future There is no need for this, don't think I'm too special, I'm a member of the Lin family's army, there's no need to be so excited, the next time you come, remember to treat everyone equally, don't engage in these special treatments. ”
Hu Shan nodded nervously, worried that Lin Futian would be angry because of this.
Lin Futian patted Hu Shan's shoulder again and said with a smile: "I don't mean to blame you, I just hope that I don't treat a person who hasn't made military merits like this." ”
Hu Shan breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion: "I understand the words of the young master, if the Lin family army is handed over to the young master in the future, I believe it will not be bad!"
Lin Futian waved his hand and said: "Don't talk about things so far away, let's go first, remember to take a good look at the letter, if there is any problem, go to the Void Pavilion to find me." ”
"Okay!" Hu Shan said in a deep voice.
The dust was slightly raised, rolling up the robes of Lin Futian and his party, and the sun just came out from under the dark clouds.
Hu Shan stood in place, his right hand sticking to the envelope handed to him by Lin Futian, looking at the back of Lin Futian and his party, stunned.
He suddenly remembered the appearance of the old general, and inexplicably overlapped with Lin Futian's back. Hu Shan rubbed his eyes and said in a trembling voice: "It's really like ......"
————
Void Pavilion.
A simple small courtyard, with a few flowers and trees growing in the courtyard, no complicated decorations, everything is simple.
In the courtyard, the huge body of the snow eagle occupies most of the courtyard.
"Boy, do you really know where the Heavenly Burial Grave you talked about before is?!" Snow Eagle asked, leaning his head against the table.
Lin Futian didn't talk nonsense, and took out a roll of maps out of nowhere and spread it out on the table.
The old man put down the flask and looked closer.
Lin Futian pointed to a certain place in the Northern Yuan Dynasty and said, "This is the Heavenly Burial Cave, and only the pure Snow Eagle clan can find it." ”
Xue Ying looked in the direction pointed by Lin Futian, his eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice: "Really?"
Lin Futian said indifferently: "Really, but this place is not easy to find, if you are in a hurry, take this drawing and go over ......" Lin Futian drew a red circle on the map of the place of the heavenly burial post, and continued: "The place has been drawn for you, as for whether you can find the place, it depends on your luck, after all, a legend is a legend, and the story of hundreds of years ago has been passed down to the present, and most of it has become a half-truth." ”
Snow Eagle opened his mouth and took the map away. It looked at Lin Futian and said, "I owe you a favor, if there is anything I can help in the future, call me casually." ”
Lin Futian smiled: "Let's talk about it when I find it." ”
The old man smiled and took a sip of wine, "Lin boy, you are a little similar to the old man, no wonder the general named Hu Shan just now has been peeking at you from time to time, probably thinking that you are a little similar to him." ”
Lin Futian smiled and said, "Then I have to go back quickly and see how similar it is." ”
The old man laughed, leaned on the table, glanced at Xinghua and Twilight, and said to Lin Futian, "What do these two girls say?"
”
Xinghua and Twilight looked at each other, and then looked at Lin Futian.
Lin Futian said without hesitation: "Take it back to the Lin family, there are just enough houses, and there is nothing to worry about." ”
The old man smiled playfully and said, "You know that's not what I'm talking about. ”
Lin Futian seemed to understand something, shook his head with a smile, walked under the tree, pinched a piece of red flowers that happened to fall between his fingers, sniffed it close to his nose, Lin Futian smiled and said, "The falling flowers are more fragrant......"
The snow eagle's wings spread out, filling the entire courtyard with a white patch.
The white-clothed and white-haired old man crossed his legs and drank his wine with a confused look in his eyes.
Starflower and Twilight looked at the white feathered wings that shielded them from the sun, and smiled and thanked Snow Eagle, and the flowers and trees in the courtyard of the Void Pavilion bloomed, and the flowers were fragrant.
Lin Futian also inevitably fell a petal on his shoulder, he glanced at his shoulder, and then shifted his gaze to the distant sky, silent for a long time.
