226. Liang Guo does not preach morality
Lan Xin also said: "A long time ago, I heard the second elder of the dark lamp say that the constellation sometimes loses its temper like a human, and the star soul becomes chaotic, at this time it is easy to be used by all forces, if it is used by the fortune teller, it will be used to serve farming or weddings and funerals, and if it is used by the Taoist master with bad intentions, it will be used to seal or cast evil spells, and it has become a sharp weapon for killing." ”
Xia Yulong nodded and said: "That's right, when the Big Dipper changes seasons, it will become chaotic and uncivilized, releasing a large number of star demons, which are taken advantage of by wizards with bad intentions and cast a secret spell, we have to find the source of this secret curse in order to break it." ”
Unconsciously, the full moon on the top of Dushan Village has gradually risen, and the roar of the white tiger is heard from time to time in the deep mountains, and every roar makes the people in the village tremble.
Suddenly, Li Tingchang frowned, clutched his chest and said, "Alas! I'm afraid that the Big Dipper in the night sky will be revealed again. ”
Xia Yulong had an idea and said, "Let's go, let's go out to see the Big Dipper and explore the mystery of this star soul." ”
……
After the four of them carried the drunken beard to the bed in the next room and fell asleep, they went out in the moonlight and came to the entrance of the village together, and everyone in the village was already asleep.
The night sky was clear, the full moon hanging on the eastern mountain was as fiery as a soldering iron, the Big Dipper hung high in the depths, and the three stars in the handle position pointed due north, looking even more dazzling than the other four.
Lan Xin exclaimed, "Brother, it's as beautiful as what we saw on the top of Lingshan Mountain." ”
Xia Yulong nodded and responded: "In the deep sky where the stars are sparse this month, I am afraid that the only one who can compete with the full moon is this Big Dipper......
Suddenly, he pointed straight ahead and asked, "Brother Li, the pass over there looks like a saddle is a saddle, right?" ”
Li Tingchang responded: "Exactly, alas, the back of these mountains is either a cliff or a steep cliff, it can be said that it is difficult to walk, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, only there is a single road leading to the outside world on Ma'an Mountain." ”
Zhang Xian looked around the mountains and said with a smile: "The scenery and mountains and rivers here are excellent, and this Dushan village also has the taste of paradise!" ”
Li Tingchang sighed lightly and said with a wry smile: "I borrowed the girl's auspicious words, although I said that, but the artistic conception between the two is very different, the people in the paradise are leisurely and carefree, while the people of my Dushan Village live a frightened life, hehe, the only thing that is the same is that the folk customs are the same simple." ”
Xia Yulong pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Li, can you take us to the Ma'anshan Pass to have a look?" ”
"This ...... This ......" Pavilion Chief Li became cautious, his face showing a look of horror, looking worried, not knowing whether to agree or refuse.
Lan Xin smiled: "Brother Li, don't worry, with us, nothing will happen." ”
Xia Yulong also comforted: "We will definitely grasp the balance and never let Brother Li be in danger." ”
Seeing that Pavilion Chief Li was still hesitant, Zhang Xian said excitedly: "If you are afraid, don't go, there is never anything in the world to sit back and enjoy it." ”
"Good!" Pavilion Chief Li nodded with a serious face, "I'll take you there, as long as you don't cross the line, it's not a big deal, even if you cross the line, it can save the fate of our people, even if it is worth risking your life." With that, he strode out of the village.
Under the full moon, the whole earth was bathed in this blood-red cold light, and it looked so breathtaking.
In order to prevent accidents, Xia Yulong asked Pavilion Chief Li to follow at the end and be responsible for guiding the way.
Passing through a large area of golden rice paddies, there are more forks in the road ahead.
The trembling Li Tingchang didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he pointed the wrong way, and after tossing in a miscellaneous forest for a while, he entered a mess of rocks, surrounded by heavy fog, and could no longer distinguish between southeast and northwest.
Zhang Xian complained while sorting out the cuffs that were torn by thorns: "Brother Li, we are kind enough to solve problems for your people, but you mislead us, what kind of heart do you have?" ”
Li Tingchang looked helpless, and said hurriedly: "Alas, I haven't walked the road to Ma'anshan for many years, under the flickering moonlight, looking at each road is almost the same, I really don't know where to go, this is about the fate of our people, do you think I'm not in a hurry?" ”
Zhang Xian snorted lightly, and said: "In the end, you see that we are too young and don't fully believe us, we are all honest people, and we never like to beat around the bush when we talk and do things, how can you help you when you do this?" ”
"I ...... I ......" Li Tingchang was so anxious that he couldn't speak.
Zhang Xian spoke straightforwardly, never afraid of offending people, her words really poked at Li Tingchang's weakness.
In fact, Li Tingchang was also deeply entangled in this matter, in his opinion, in order to lift the seal and evil curse, he must first observe the celestial phenomena and then set up an altar, while the Long brothers were hastily inspected the celestial phenomena, and then they had to go to Ma'anshan to see what passes, which seemed to push him into the fire pit......
Moreover, they were chased and killed all the way by the Zephyr mage, what kind of grudge do they have with the Zephyr people? Are they really the three young men mentioned by Starlight Passers-by? This can't be a trap they have set, right? The bearded man has not been seen for many years, and he suddenly appeared in Dushan Village, is what he said true and reliable?
A series of questions overwhelmed Li Tingchang and disturbed him.
Xia Yulong saw Pavilion Chief Li's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Brother Li, you may be thinking too much, if you are really afraid, you can go back first, and then come back to discuss with you after I check the mystery on the pass, hehe, I don't know if I can help your clansmen, let's do our best......"
After he used the Heavenly Eye to inspect it, he led Lan Xin and Zhang Xian to the right front, and Li Tingchang did not dissipate his worries, and followed behind the three of them.
After passing through a thorn, they took a shortcut and went straight to the pass of Ma'anshan.
The road into the mountain sometimes passes through the valley and sometimes around the ridge, and is a winding bluestone slab official road, which is relatively flat despite being overgrown with weeds.
Xia Yulong held a shovel in his hand and cleared the obstacles on the road one by one.
Lan Xin smiled: "Brother Li, the official family has really worked hard to dig such an official road into Dushan Village. ”
Li Tingchang responded: "That's natural, no matter which dynasty or generation, as long as the war in the west is tight, grain and grass will be requisitioned from us, and the official road will naturally be cultivated to a certain level......"
He pondered for a moment and continued: "I heard from my ancestors that during the Warring States Period, in order to destroy the Bashu State, the Qin State defended on Qingmen Mountain for two months, and then the grain and grass ran out, and the Qin army was about to be trapped and died on Qingmen Mountain, the Qin army transferred more than 100,000 loads of grain and grass from Dushan Village, and the Bashu State was dragged down in less than a month, in order to help the King of Qin unify the six countries, our Dushan Village supplied a large amount of grain and grass, which can be said to be indispensable......"
Speaking of this, Li Tingchang's face was happy, he wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said: "Since then, the King of Qin ordered the troops to guard this treasure land, although the people in the village can't go out, but the Qin soldiers often come to the village as guests, and the people in Dushan Village come and go in an endless stream, every day is like a market, and the Qin army is strictly disciplined, never harass the people in the village, and also repairs the official road into the village, in the long history, this is the proudest thing for our people, and the most worthy of showing off......"
Li Tingchang paused for a moment, sighed, and said: "One year, the Qin State granted amnesty to the world, and our clansmen jointly called the King of Qin to lift the seal for us, and the King of Qin ordered Li Si to look for a Taoist master in the whole country, but Li Si was extremely law-abiding and told the King of Qin that this was the will of heaven, and if it violated the way of heaven, it would probably lead to chaos in the world, and the future of the whole country would be ruined for the sake of peace......"
Xia Yulong answered: "Li Si is deeply trusted by the King of Qin, because of his words, the seal has been delayed for a long time? ”
Li Tingchang nodded and replied: "Alas, yes, Li Si's words have put this matter on hold, and this delay is hundreds of years!" ”
Xia Yulong asked again: "Brother Li, what happened later?" ”
Li Tingchang replied: "When the Qin State fell, the soldiers on Ma'anshan ran and fled, and Dushan Village was deserted, and when it came to the Han Dynasty, with the expansion of the territory, the Ma'anshan Pass still needed the troops, but the supply of grain and grass for the official family has never stopped, and the official road is naturally getting better and better, but the life of our people is getting more and more tormented, hmph, now the Liang State does not talk about morality, and has captured so many of our men and killed so many of us!" ”
