Chapter 125: Night and Fire
The Three Kingdoms and the Two Jin Dynasties, the era of the most frequent regime changes in Chinese history, in just over 360 years, a total of more than 30 dynasties coexisted and alternated, sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and like meteors, leaving a fleeting light and falling.
In more than 180 A.D., the signs of the decline of the Eastern Han Dynasty gradually rose, foreign relatives interfered in politics, centralized power was dispersed, and Liu Bei, who personally intervened, took the righteous brothers who pulled out the mountains and rivers, the Wolong military division who planned the world, and the ambition of Kuang Fu Han family to hope to reverse the rise and fall of the dynasty by himself.
In a sense, he may have done it, but instead of reviving the Han dynasty, he had fallen into decline Cao Wei, which might have brought unification.
According to orthodox historical records, although it is difficult to determine whether Cao Cao had blood, his subordinate generals and even Wenchen undoubtedly had a certain concentration of dragon blood, and these heroes met each other on the battlefield with swords and soldiers, and fought each other with their hot and boiling bodies of dragon blood; After the curtain, the temple counted thousands of miles, transported money and food, governed the government and filled the army, and blessed the manpower of the war with a keen brain.
From the collision of chaotic armies to the strategizing, everything determines the direction of history. Liu Xuande, the existence of this outlier, so that Wei Wu still did not see the grand occasion of unifying the Central Plains when he died, but this
"The capable minister who rules the world, the traitor of the troubled times" would never have imagined that about a hundred years later, the Sima family, who usurped Cao Wei and established the Jin Dynasty on their own, would actually send the whole of China into twists and turns and war because of a fool and a woman.
Emperor Sima Zhen of Jin Hui, Empress Jia Nanfeng. When the state situation was completely in the hands of a woman and her puppet husband who had no talent and no virtue, authoritarian power but did not understand political affairs, the collapse was only between the late rulers, and the rebellion of the eight kings completely destroyed the vitality of the Jin Dynasty, and the perished Western Jin Dynasty fled to the south to establish the Eastern Jin Dynasty under the pressure of the southward invasion of ethnic minorities, and the situation of separating the north and the south was formed.
Mixed in with dragons
The Jin Dynasty in the south was gradually controlled by the family lords, and under the imminent deterrence of the dragon clan and the decline of imperial power, orthodoxy for the first time set its sights on the family outside the imperial power.
"Jiupin Zhongzheng system, have you heard of it?"
"There is no poor family in the upper grade, and there is no scholar in the lower grade." Lu Mingfei nodded lightly: "The teacher said it." Li Mingkong's sharp eyes flashed a trace of surprise, and continued: "There are public gates, there are Qing men, there are Qing people, Zhu Zi of the Manchu Dynasty, there are a few of them, this is the biggest drawback of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system of electing officials, and it is also the reason why we choose the gate valve, even if the regime change becomes more serious later, with the dominance of the gate valve, we can also survive in troubled times." ”
"But we lost the most important thing during that time." Before Lu Mingfei could listen intently to history, the girl suddenly stopped: "We have arrived." "Arrived?
Where's it going? Lu Mingfei, who was immersed in a different history, came to his senses, and unconsciously they had climbed all the way up the stone steps to the top of the mountain, but he did not have the fatigue of backache and leg pain at all, looking back, the winding mountain road made people's legs tremble, but the past history was narrated, and now everything is hazy.
There has always been a thick curtain in a long history, I don't know what it is
"Lizard" still
The half-dragon and half-human half-dragon of the "snake" half-blood have been hiding behind the shadows, and Lu Mingfei feels that the world has suddenly become less boring, bringing fun and some black things.
Li Mingkong walked to the side, his palm on the candlestick on the stone lampholder with the wick, the flame ignited, illuminating the blue brick road under his feet, and in front of him was a vermilion wall with a gate, extending outward on both sides, as if breaking the space on the top of the mountain into two sides.
The girl took off the candlestick that was burning with fire, stepped forward with Lu Mingfei, pressed her fingers on the golden bronze beast at the buckle of the door, blood overflowed, and Li Mingkong gently pushed the door open.
The two continued to walk forward, the trees on the fairly flat hilltop were luxuriant, and even a few fireflies with light spots could be seen, these beautiful little insects often love to haunt in summer, and Lu Mingfei was a little happy to see it on the top of the mountain in spring.
Li Mingkong, who was walking in front, pushed aside the dense bushes, and the mountain wind blew through the cracks, blowing the girl's hair that had only crossed her shoulders, and Lu Mingfei, who was following closely, felt that something was blowing on his face, itchy.
The girl stepped over the barrier of the trees and stepped aside, and the night breeze from the top of the hill blew the boy's face into a crumpled ball, and also blew the heart ape horse away to the western sky, and he walked up while rubbing his face, and his eyes widened for a moment.
The girl raised her hand, and the surging firelight spread out on the edge of the dim mountain peak, and in the light of the candle, Lu Mingfei could clearly see the lifelike stone statue, and the carved man stood upright on the top of the mountain, with his left hand behind him, and his right hand on his waist, facing the distance.
He wore an intricate but extremely noble dragon robe, with a five-clawed golden dragon and an ornate figure painted on the front hem, and the sleeves and back were almost unadorned, but they were full of majesty.
Lu Mingfei immediately remembered the strange dream on the bus, the man standing on top of the pure black dragon and confronting the giant beast with wings and limbs.
He walked to the side with curiosity, as if he wanted to see the face of the stone statue, just as he wanted to see the man's face in a nightmare.
Lu Mingfei had to praise the vividness of the stonemason's carving technique, the bridge of the nose in the dragon robe was slightly higher, the face was heroic and ruthless, and the narrow eyes looked ahead, but Lu Mingfei, who was hindered by enlarging the statue, could always feel the contempt in that gaze.
"Which emperor is this?" Lu Mingfei asked, "Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu?" ”
"No, this is the First Emperor." The girl replied softly. Lu Mingfei's eyes remained motionless on the statue, staring at it as if he was fascinated, pacing to find an angle in the hope of seeing more details.
Li Mingkong didn't look at the statue, just at him. Watch him lean back with one foot in the air. This itself is the top of the mountain, and it is the height that it is difficult to save the gods if they fall, and the statue of Ying Zheng is molded on the edge of the cliff on the top of the mountain, without looking at the foot
The tragic death of "tourists" has happened in many scenic spots. There are no guardrails like scenic spots.
"Don't you want to die?" Knowing that he was going to fall down like that, the girl who didn't mind teaching him a long lesson grabbed Lu Mingfei's hand in time, and the explosive power of the half-breed pulled the bamboo-like boy up, and Lu Mingfei sat on the ground with a big gasp for air.
"Not to mention falling into flesh at this height, the total loss of internal organs is basically certain," Li Mingkong sneered: "I thought you were afraid of death when I looked at you." ”
"I'm really afraid of death." Lu Mingfei cried with a sad face: "But I don't know what's going on, that statue is even more ghostly, I haven't been so attentive to playing games!" "It's like, like a moment and a half ago, when you put on those glasses.
"You're right," Li Mingkong actually nodded: "That statue does have a ghost, and it is a ghost like you who fell to death." She walked to the edge of the cliff and sat down, her curvy and graceful calves swayed at will in the night breeze, her long skirt danced, and the skin under the skirt seemed to glow slightly in the dark, Li Mingkong held a candle in both hands, and looked at a distant place through a small candle flame, the mountain was dark, as far as the eye could see, there was only a small fire in an extremely distant place, which was a village in the countryside.
Lu Mingfei silently watched the girl sit there, staring closely at the flame of the candle, as if there was a world inside.
"Have you ever been to the Demon Capital?" Li Mingkong suddenly asked, "The scenery on the Oriental Pearl is very beautiful. ”
"Haven't been." Lu Mingfei scratched the chicken coop on his head, the memory of his life was limited to that small coastal town, and he had the impression that his parents, uncles and aunts had never taken her out of that city.
"I haven't been there either." The girl laughed, "It was said to be very beautiful, and there were all flowing lights underneath, and I wondered what it was like through the candles." Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect to hear such an answer, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but Li Mingkong didn't speak, he felt that the girl in front of him might be a little sad in his heart, he had seen a lot of this kind of thing in Chen Wenwen, but he never thought that Li Mingkong would say such a thing before.
"It's fine." He patted his chest, which was not meaty: "There is nothing to see in that place, we are at night and some people can't see it." ”
"You really don't please girls," Li Mingkong sighed helplessly: "This ghost place is so dark, where does the night come from, you haven't been there, how do you know if it's good or not?" She put down the candlestick, supported the ground with one hand, and swung in a very vigorous posture, as if Lu Mingfei had seen the gymnasts in the Olympics, but those athletes were not wearing long skirts, and they were not as beautiful as the girl in front of them.
Li Mingkong patted away the dust with his hands alternately, shook off his beautiful long skirt, looked directly into Lu Mingfei's eyes, and said, "Didn't you think about going to see it?" ”
"Huh?" Lu Mingfei replied suspiciously.
"Whether it's the Oriental Pearl or the Oriental Pearl, other things are the same, what others say, or even what you see in the shop window," Li Mingkong said slowly: "Five-star restaurants, big houses, beautiful girls, luxury cars, haven't you thought about these things?" "Have you ever thought about it?
I must have thought about it, when I saw someone else's family driving a BMW to pick up my classmates. No, it's not the car that I envy, it's the person sitting in the driver's seat.
He really doesn't have any ambitions, he always likes to flip through magazines when he helps Lu Mingze buy paintings, and he doesn't care about him after getting acquainted with his uncle, he just looks at it with his head bored, and sees car appreciation from game journals, so he should pass the time, and by the way, he looks at his cousin at home in a hurry, Lu Mingfei thinks that he is bad.
He looks very hard at car appreciation, and even memorizes some data when he is bored, he has one? I really didn't think about it.
Not motivated! The head teacher said that he was like this, and he also felt that he was like this, how to say it? The mud can't hold up the wall.
The only thing I care about is a little bit of vanity and emmmm, a little lust, no, no, no, how can love be called lust?
Although there will be vulgar jokes in our poor Lu Mingfei's mind, he doesn't dare to do the real vulgar things at all.
"Okay," Li Mingkong picked up the candlestick from the ground: "I probably understand, take it." Lu Mingfei took the candlestick with a confused face, and then, the girl went around his back and grabbed his hands, and Lu Mingfei subconsciously struggled.
"Don't move!" Crisp and slightly neutral sounded behind him, the boy subconsciously stopped struggling, and the breath touched his neck, and Lu Mingfei shook his whole body.
"Look at it." Li Mingkong said: "Look at the fire. So the boy stared closely at the candle flame, and behind the candle flame was the darkness at the foot of the mountain.
Everything was frozen in the firelight, like a dream. The girl's voice sounded again, but it was no longer intelligible words that came out of her mouth, and she began to chant in a solemn voice, and small candles tossed and surged in the voice.
[To tell the truth,Recently chased more,Change the source switch,Read aloud with more timbre,.yeguoyueduAndroidApple can be.】
In the ancient dragon text, the flames seem to dance in front of Lu Mingfei's eyes, and a beautiful girl seems to appear in the candlelight, wearing a scarlet flowing dress, looking between Chen Wenwen and Li Mingkong, beautiful enough, and with that gentle temperament.
Lu Mingfei's eyes widened, and he devoted himself to staring, watching the silhouette of the girl in the candlelight become clearer and clearer, and then ...... The little devil in the evening dress jumped out of the flames and slammed a violent slam on Lu Mingfei's head.
"Ahh Lu Mingfei rubbed the place where he was knocked: "Why are you beating me?" He suddenly noticed that the girl behind him had also disappeared, exactly like the previous nightmare, this time he was not asking, just casually talking to the little devil.
It's just a nightmare.
"Hit you because brother, you're so angry!" Lu Mingze had no guilt and was extremely justified.
"I'm not your brother." Lu Mingfei raised his fist: "What the hell are you?" ”
"I'm not a thing, I'm Lu Mingze." The little devil straightened his scarf and replied in a straight voice. Lu Mingfei thought he was joking, Lu Mingze was the most familiar with him, his cousin who slept in the same room with him all day long, the little fat man who seduced the little girl with a repaired sticker in his blog, the boy in front of him couldn't get along with Lu Mingze's eight poles.
"I've worked hard for thousands of years, but brother, you're still the same way you were, which makes people angry." The child shook his head helplessly, his expression was a little funny in Lu Mingfei's eyes, and his tone was a little like an aunt who had finished scolding, but it was also a little different.
It's like no matter what you say, he won't be angry at your bad things. Lu Mingze raised his hand and pointed into the distance, Lu Mingfei followed his gaze, and a ray of sunlight erupted along the rolling mountain ridge, inlaying a thin layer of gold on the black ridge.
"The night will usher in the dawn." The boy in the suit snapped his fingers. So the next moment, the eyes were full of brilliant dawn light, and the sun that had just sunk below the East Mountain seemed to flash out, and most of the Phnom Penh made Lu Mingfei almost unable to open his eyes.
Lu Mingfei blocked the direct morning sun with his arms in front of him, and he took advantage of the sunlight to take a good look at the boy who claimed to be his younger brother.
He had never seen a boy of seven or eight years old as pretty, with a round face, with a childishness between a boy and a girl, and his every move was gentle, so elegant that he had never stepped on the dust, and a heart of love and pity arose unconsciously, and on the top of the mountain where the sun rose, he looked back at himself, and his golden eyes were more dazzling than the rising sun in the east.
The boy stretched out his hand to him, his fingers were pale and slender, like a small and delicate work of art, his lips moved, but Lu Mingfei seemed to be deaf at that moment, he couldn't hear anything, and looked at the boy in the light in a daze, like a god who had come into the world.
