Dongfang paced there, still hesitating, thinking: Could it be that such an assassination operation is afraid that I will return to the capital and hinder someone? Could it be that my father is really seriously ill and has something important to entrust? In this way, the decree should be true. Also, is the mother okay, will she be held hostage? In that case, even if the capital has become a tiger's den in Longtan, it is necessary to break through to relieve the worries of the father and the queen and the concubine. Thinking of this, it strengthened his determination to rush to the capital.

So, Dongfang glanced at everyone, walked out of the post station quickly, and stepped on the horse. He looked at the ten brothers and said, "The capital is indeed in danger, or it has become a tiger's den in Longtan, are you willing to go with me?" ”

"Swear to follow!" The guards were resolute and replied loudly.

Dongfang nodded, didn't speak anymore, and urged the horse to follow the ancient road and go eastward.

……

The oasis is like an isolated island in the Gobi. Out of it, it's a different story. All the way to the rush, in the blink of an eye, the sun has set westward. Riding on a horse, looking at the desolate world, but seeing, lonely villages, old trees, light smoke..., in the residual glow, a little Feihong shadow, even more twilight, the road ahead is long.

……

When the morning dawned, Dongfang and the guards were already galloping on the post road. When the sky was bright, suddenly, a strange scene appeared in front of me: I saw that on the winding ancient road, from the virtual to the real, a small mountain slowly manifested, just blocking the way to the east.

When Dongfang and the guards saw this, they were taken aback, and they took the reins of their horses and looked up from below.

These days have been a series of strange things, and the ten guards can't help but feel nervous. Then, the hand pressed the hilt of the knife, ready to fight.

East looked up and looked closely. I saw that although the mountain was not high, it was surrounded by auspicious clouds, the sacred birds soared, the butterflies danced, and the spirit of the show was fully displayed, and a piece of lush greenery.

Magical, the scene in front of you, seems to be unreal.

Dongfang and the guards, they were all familiar with this road, and they had never seen an immortal mountain in charge, which made them really surprised.

At this moment, the ten guards looked confused, and they all looked to the east, and their eyes showed questions.

At this time, the guard Long Yunteng had sharp eyes, pointed with his hand, and shouted: "Holy Lord, look, under the pavilion on the top of the mountain, there are old men playing against each other." ”

"That's right, there is a pair of cranes next to the two, it's really strange, it's like meeting a living immortal."

"Abnormality is a demon, be careful!"

Looking from afar, the two old men were childish, contented, and concentrating on the way of fighting. Seeing this, his nervous mood relaxed. Thinking about himself, he is anxious like a spark, and his mouth is dry. Comparing the two, I didn't feel dumb and laughed, and between thoughts, I seemed to have some understanding.

Seeing this, Cui Zhan asked, "Holy Lord, are we going up?" Or a detour? ”

Dongfang nodded and said, "Such a mystery and mystery, there must be cause and effect. Don't be reckless, it's better for me to go up alone and find out. ”

The guards listened and became nervous. Yao Guang was worried, and strongly persuaded: "Holy Lord can't. If it is all an illusion, in the event of a disaster at the post station, in an instant, we will not be able to rescue us, and we will not be in danger of the Holy Lord? ”

"This mountain, the spirit of the beautiful air is natural, it should be fine. If something happens, it's not more than a few hundred steps high, and it's not too late for you to wait for rescue. Besides, I look at those two old men, who seem to be immortals who have attained the Tao, and they must not be disrespectful! After Dongfang finished speaking, he got off his horse, bowed and bowed, and then meandered up the path.

It's a small world of its own, and once you go deep into it, you immediately feel cool all around. And the breath of flowers and plants permeated the air, and the strange fragrance burst into the heart, refreshing people's hearts, so that Dongfang was unconsciously vibated, and the fatigue of the journey was suddenly swept away.

On both sides of the path, strange flowers and fruits make the East feel like stepping into a fairyland. Looking at the fruit, all of them are chic, big or small, red or green, purple or pink, colorful, and there is actually a fairy light looming. He was surprised in his heart, coupled with the dust all the way, he couldn't help but feel a lot of joy in his mouth, and subconsciously picked one. The fairy fruit has not yet been eaten, and it is already fruity, which makes people want to taste it quickly. Dongfang, tried to take a small bite, and immediately felt refreshed and refreshed.

Dongfang stood under the tree, and after eating one, he was still unsatisfied. He looked at the crystal clear fairy fruit, hanging all over the branches, and he was really reluctant. So, I found a rut in my heart and thought: You Xianshan is here for no reason, and I won't blame you for eating your two fruits. Besides, I have ten brothers at the foot of the mountain, so I don't understand how to enjoy the delicious food alone.

Thinking of this, he bowed to the top of the mountain with his fists, then took out a bag, picked it up easily, and picked a big showy one to pick.

The East did not dare to be greedy. Besides, after all, he is the tenth prince of the Huangfu Dynasty and knows the number of proportions. With such a treasure, how dare you make a mistake, but I only picked ten immortal fruits, but I didn't dare to take one more.

After putting away the bag, Dongfang was satisfied and continued to go up. One stone's throw away, I saw that the old man was still playing there, as if he didn't know that the east was approaching.

It was the pair of cranes who had already seen the East, and at this time there was a burst of excited chirps, and then they danced, as if they had seen an old friend they had not met for a long time. The two of them lowered their heads and tilted their wings, as if they were welcoming the East, and as if they were telling the East their longing for a long time.

The two old men, still all right, only focused on the chessboard. When Dongfang saw it, he approached and didn't care. He looked at the two of them, dressed in coarse cloth, and there were even holes, what a casual outfit, a pair of carefree. Looking at their faces again, they are in good spirits and full of immortal atmosphere.

Dongfang didn't dare to slack off, humilly clenched his fists, gave a deep salute, and said: "Junior Dongfang, meet the two senior immortals!" ”

The two of them turned a deaf ear, as if they hadn't heard. Seeing this, the cranes on the side couldn't hold back their inner enthusiasm, one of them came over and rubbed Dongfang's chest with their heads, and the other rubbed Dongfang's back, and the state was particularly affectionate. This made Dongfang's heart warm, and he threw the encounter with the post station and the uncertain future of the capital into the clouds.

……

The ten guards at the foot of the mountain have been tense their nerves, and ten pairs of eyes are staring at the east all the time.

At first, when they saw the East picking other people's fruits, they didn't feel like the holy lord of his house. I couldn't help muttering, where is this guest, it's clearly to my own home. For this reason, everyone couldn't help but be nervous, their palms were about to sweat, and they were ready to rush up the mountain at any time.

Next, seeing that the crane was so intimate with the East, they fell to the ground with a stone and put their hearts at ease.

Dongfang saw that the two old men ignored him, and knew that there must be a reason. Therefore, without saying much, he sat on the stone bench and watched the battle.

When the crane saw it, he actually turned away, each took a fairy fruit, and handed it to Dongfang, his eyes were full of inquiry and love.

Dongfang took it and nodded in thanks, his heart had been moved, and even his head was a little dizzy! And the pair of cranes stood there, tilting their heads and looking eastward, as if they wanted to imprint everything in their minds.

Dongfang was not stupid, he knew how amazing the fruit was, so he didn't twist it, but ate it himself, causing the two cranes to chirp again, fanning their wings, as if Dongfang had eaten the fairy fruit, and was even happier than eating it himself.

After Dongfang finished eating, the two cranes rubbed their heads against him again, as if they had a thousand words.

Seeing the three of them like this, the two old men finally stopped playing and raised their heads to look at Dongfang. One of the long-faced old men said, "Young man, look at this game of chess, who is the final winner?" ”

Dongfang knew that these two people must have great magical powers, otherwise, how could they turn into an immortal mountain? Now, seeing the old man asking, he hurriedly got up and swept to the black and white sides, seeing that the chess game was exquisite, and it had entered the closing stage.

Another old man saw it and said, "Why bother him with such a simple question?" Even if he knows, he still wants to go to Hongjing City! ”

When Dongfang heard this, it was a preface that did not match the afterword, and the meaning was quite profound, and he couldn't help but be surprised. He looked at the old man with long eyebrows. I saw that he was looking at himself with a hint of a smile. He didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted again, "The two immortals have penetrated the world, can you tell the juniors whether it is good or bad to go to the capital?" ”

"You're a smart man, don't you know what to do?"

"Yes. Don't you know that you should be interrupted, but you will be disturbed? ”

Hearing this, which was both mysterious and like crazy words, Dongfang saluted again and said: "The younger generation is dull, please ask the immortal chief to guide the maze!" ”

The two old men ignored him anymore, got up, beckoned, and each rode on the crane. It turned out that the pair of cranes was actually the mount of the two, but it was magical.

Cranes soar into the sky, auspicious clouds swirling.

I only heard one person chanting: "This is thousands of miles away from Hongjing, Sima is already secretly laughing." ”

Another person continued: "Only among the traitorous brothers, who is merciful and small." ”

"In the endless killing ahead, the disaster can be eliminated by turning back."

"Infatuated poetry and painting look for several lifetimes, and the mountains and seas vow to urge people to grow old."

"The erection is desperate and empty, and there are auspicious clouds outside the sky."

"There is only a reincarnation in heaven and earth, how can I know the fate of this world."

……

The two immortals rode away, leaving only a few words that kept echoing in the air.

The ten guards also heard. They first saw the old man go away, and then the small realm of the sacred mountain slowly disappeared until there was no trace of it.
