Chapter 34: The South
All the way to the south, according to the route stipulated in the palace before, it is also considered peaceful.
Every important town and prosperous place should be stopped. In order to let the prince feel the great rivers and mountains and fortress towns of the Great Calendar according to the map.
For Hongshu and Wuluo, they have seen a lot of local customs and customs along the way. After passing through the mountains, forests and rivers, the group has lived in prosperous towns and wilderness thatched shops, and they also have an understanding of the difficulty of traveling.
They may not be aware of the difficulties of life, because Xiao Nanyou is by his side and has experienced a rare warmth.
Wuluo and the prince have changed from the active jumps when they just traveled, chic and casual, calm and stable. I tried to complete all the things that were prescribed to travel in the palace, and I didn't have much time to hang out.
Most of them accompany the southern tour, watching the southern tour lively and cute day by day. Sometimes there is plenty of time, and Hongshu will also go out to hang out in the market town with Nanyou and Wuluo.
The sons of the two gods and horses are walking around the street with a two-month-old toddler in their arms, which is quite eye-catching. Finally, one day I had troubles in the enthusiastic conversation of an aunt.
In the evening, the riverside in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful and clean, and the sun shines orange in the distant mountains.
The green shade is picturesque, and the clear water is like jade.
Hongshu and Wuluo finally opened the trick of beautiful scenery. They hugged Xiao Nanyou by the river and looked at the tranquility and beauty of Jiangnan, pointing around, and talking to Nanyou who didn't understand anything from time to time.
They met a welcoming aunt.
"Two sons, this baby is born so dignified. Is it your younger brother or junior? ”
Wu Luo was stunned for a moment and said, "It's a junior." ”
"It can't be your children, can it? The two sons are still so young. The aunt said with a smile.
"Yes, my sister's child." Or the object falls on the answer. He wasn't wrong. The county lord is good, and in his eyes, he will always be the mirror sister.
Returning from the river, Hongshu fell into a rare silence.
"What's bothering?" Wuluo asked.
"Nanyou, what is the right thing to call us?"
"Uncle? Uncle? "The thing fell to ask for his meaning.
Hongshu didn't speak, he generally didn't object to Wuluo, it seemed that he was dissatisfied with the title of uncle and uncle.
"If it's called a stepfather or father, the age difference is too small, right?"
Hongshu glanced at him and didn't speak.
On the way, the people of the Imperial City Division were in charge of liaison, and the local government officials seemed to have heard the rumors, lest there be a mistake in their own territory, and they strengthened security one by one, so the road was peaceful.
On the day I first arrived in the south, it was raining lightly, because I arrived a little late, and the water was bright everywhere, and the light and shadow were quiet and magnificent.
They had to spend a few days in the town before heading back to Pingjing.
The southern border is a small border town, which is different from the small towns in the northern part of the Great Calendar, which is more humid and mild. People also seem to be more gentle.
The street is full of items and has more different styles.
The southern border is also regarded as the border city of the Great Calendar, why did you choose to rest in the border city that looks dangerous, it is not that there are no neighboring countries on the southern border, nor is it that the neighboring Wu Kingdom and Dahao Country are not aggressive.
It is not that the defenders of the southern border are stronger than the northern border, and the generals are more courageous.
Naturally, there are no insurmountable natural barriers in the south. There are mountains that are not dangerous and water is not turbulent, and the surrounding fields are fertile and prolific.
There is only one reason why they can choose to stay in the south, and that is that the south has always been peaceful. The garrison of the southern border city has always been clear, and the official government of the southern border city has always been loved by the southern people.
Why is this so, there has always been a legend in the Great Calendar that there are gods in the south, and gods live on the mountains in the south.
The South, on the other hand, has a cruel name, the Graveyard.
As long as anyone launches a war to invade and attack the southern border, no matter whether they win or lose, they will be killed and wounded in less than ten days, until they leave the southern border.
Because of the countless dead people, it is called the Southern Frontier and is called the Southern Cemetery.
And the teams that went out of the southern border to fight abroad will never be able to return to the southern border. It is said that it is necessary to bypass the southern land within a radius of 100 miles in order to keep the team safe.
The southern realm has become a divine realm, whether it is true or not, this legend is said to have been around for nearly a hundred years.
It is said that the southern border has also been quiet for nearly a hundred years.
There is also a legend that as long as the army covets the southern border and passes through the mountains and forests around the southern border, you will never see the road ahead. It is always blocked by fog, and only by turning back and leaving can it be suddenly enlightened.
Of course, there are many soldiers in the south of the Great Calendar, and the peace of the south cannot be maintained by legends alone.
This legend that is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood has greatly touched Thirteen. Others may be in awe or believing. But for him, he believed that there must be something true in this legend, and that there must be people like them in some places.
Maybe there are people who have fallen soberly from the Nine Heavens. Otherwise, they wouldn't have such divine powers.
If you are like him and erased his memory and thrown into the world, he can only become a person with extraordinary power in the end, not a god who changes his fortune.
He wanted to find out what was going on in this place.
Now he can see through the obstacle, so it's still possible to find out.
After settling down in the south to rest, the guards were divided into groups and rested in turns.
On a night when no one is around, Thirteen plans to go out for a walk. Looking at the rich part of the South, he plans to find a place to have a drink if he can. The ultimate goal is to be able to spot anomalies.
Walking on the lonely street, I suddenly felt a trace of melancholy in my heart, as if I remembered someone, and I didn't seem to think of anything, in short, there was a trace of inexplicable loss.
Has he ever been to such a place? Did he have someone he once knew to accompany him when he didn't fall?
Does this mysterious place really evoke his past?
Looking at the lights of the house, he had a gratuitous melancholy.
Walking alone on the street, the slight drizzle seemed dense and fluttering in the light, as if it were snow. After walking a short distance, I smelled a familiar aroma of wine, which seemed to be the aroma of Pingjing's wine. He unconsciously entered the restaurant.
As soon as I found a secluded table and sat down, I heard an argument from the second floor that was not fluent in art. The people arguing are clearly drunk.
"Do you think that the small restaurant is inhabited by fairies and demons, what do you want? Huangfeng wine is only drunk by the adults of the palace, here the sky is high and the emperor is far away, there is no such expensive wine, it is good to have white flowers. ”
"The words of the third brother underestimate our southern border, what is there in the southern border of the Great Calendar? What's not like that? There is no shortage of places where gods live. ”
"I heard that the place where the gods and ghosts live opens the mountain gate once every thirty years, and some people have entered it."
"Who went in?"
"One of my distant relatives went in. I heard that the people who have entered have become immortals, and they all have spirits. Immortality......"
"Which of your uncle's distant cousins ...... you?"
There was a burst of laughter from upstairs.
Although it was just drunken nonsense, Thirteen was moved, and he somewhat believed the rumors of several people upstairs.
But where to find it? It's just a place of legend.
The bartender smiled and told him that he couldn't take those words seriously. The owner obviously didn't know much about these places either.
Thirteen hundred bored after wandering around the street for a long time, he felt that it was better to go back to the inn and sleep than to wander around the street. Tired of walking, he sat down alone in a dimly lit little teahouse, the rain was not heavy, and he wanted to stay outside longer.
Far away in the snowy drizzle, he saw an old man. The old man is ordinary, and no one will ever look at him more than he will suspect him. It looks like he went to the southern city to buy household utensils.
The old man is very old, and the old man cannot tell the age. On such a rainy day, such an old man going out at this hour is somewhat abnormal. The moment the old man turned his head, the eyes hidden under the broken hat were indescribably clear.
Thirteen's heart moved, looking at the old man, he had a strong intuition, this old man was not an ordinary mortal.
The old man also seemed to see that he was unusual, and quickly looked away from the old man, turned around and left.
Thirteen didn't want to miss him, so he got up and came out, not thinking that the old man was gone.
This sudden disappearance is even more problematic. The moment he waved his sleeves, the figure of the old man who was speeding away appeared. Such an old man, moving so quickly. I don't know why, at this time, he can freely break the obstacle, and can see the human form outside the obstacle.
The old man soon noticed that Thirteen had broken through the barrier and followed, but he slowed down, as if he was deliberately trying to guide Thirteen.
