Chapter 143: Sihui
In the middle of March, there is Qingming, which is the day when ghosts live in peace, and every household is filial piety, but I don't want to, the ghosts are against the sky, and the world is not peaceful, and there are not many living people left, so today, the whole place is deserted, so what will be the filial piety people!
Reeds grew all over the ground, growing one meter high, burying the road, blocking people, only to see that in the sky above the border of Quancheng, auspicious clouds appeared, and countless people flew down in the air.
As soon as these people fell to the road, they took a knife and cut the reed, cut the reed, and then cut a place, set up a wax stove, took incense and began to worship, only to hear a voice: "Father, mother, Yan'er is not filial, I can only detain you two here, I hope you will be blessed by God, this time you can return victorious!" ”
It turned out that this person who was shouting about his father and mother, kneeling to serve filial piety, was actually Cheng Yan and the generals who came from Mingcheng, they all wanted to rest here, and they also wanted to kneel down to worship their father and mother, and respect filial piety.
The snow lotus in the back heard Cheng Yan's words, and then also walked forward, picked up three incense sticks, inserted them into the furnace, and knelt down and said: "Dad, the snow lotus is not good, it's all the snow lotus' fault, if it wasn't for my willfulness at the beginning, it wouldn't be the yin and yang now!" Dad, Xuelian is sorry for you, I'm sorry for the people of Wuzhen, if you have a spirit in the sky, bless your daughter and drive the ghost clan out of the world! ”
Meng Po came slowly, walked in front of Xuelian, took three sticks of incense, inserted them into the furnace, and didn't kneel down, then turned to Cheng Yan and Xuelian and said, "Parents all over the world, the one who doesn't want their children to have a better life, you two get up quickly!" ”
After hearing this, Cheng Yan and Xuelian each kowtowed three times, then got up, turned around, looked at the generals, Cheng Yan said: "This is the border of Quancheng, we all need to be careful, so as not to be attacked by the ghost soldiers hiding in the dark." ”
The generals said "yes", then formed a circle, squatted down, and asked Cheng Yan: "General, since we have reached the border of Quancheng, where should we camp?" ”
Cheng Yan didn't think much about it, took out the map, and saw that there were three places marked on it, called 'Tutai, Sihui, Xuanqiao', Cheng Yan looked at it for a while, pointed to the place of Sihui, and said to the generals: "Sihui This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and camping here is the best place to go." ”
Ma Mian said: "Since Sihui is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is inevitable that some ghost soldiers will guard it, if we want to think of it, we must get rid of them first." ”
"Sihui's place is decided, even if there are ghost soldiers guarding it, there won't be many, let's go directly, it's not too late to see the situation first."
Seeing Cheng Yan's decision, all the generals were also worried, and then they all got up, and after seeing Cheng Yan put away the map, the sea shark said: "The boundary of this Spring City is really good, what is not good, you have to grow this kind of reed, it is as if autumn has arrived!" ”
Yu Ming smiled: "The long reed is nothing, everyone will go out with a little effort, but if there are ghost soldiers in this reed and they are suddenly attacked, it will be really unfortunate!" ”
"Okay, don't talk about it, be more careful along the way, it's important for us to hurry!" After Cheng Yan finished speaking, he turned around and took the lead, and said again: "Let's go!" Then all the generals followed, and the 140,000 troops moved together, and those who cut the grass and the open land went to Sihui.
The road was silent, and after an hour, they arrived at the earthen platform not far from Sihui.
Cheng Yan watched, only to see that there was no reed grass, but a flower landscape, the soil is not loess, but laterite, the platform is not a mountain, but a platform, boundless, a radius of 100 miles, no mountains and forests, all are open land.
On the ground, there are bright white flowers on the left, red flowers on the right, shy in the middle of the yellow flowers, blue flowers on both sides, purple flowers open their eyes, and orange flowers shine.
There are thousands of colorful butterflies, there are hummingbird flowers under the flower clothes, there are rabbit flowers to lie down, there are geckos to walk in the flowers, chameleon like flowers, green snakes to pick flowers, dragonfly flowers to dance, thousands of birds to find in the flowers.
After reading it, Cheng Yan exclaimed: "When I passed through Quancheng back then, I only cared about running for my life, but I didn't expect that there would be such a place!" ”
The snow lotus in the back is a girl, seeing such a sea of flowers, it is inevitable that she will like it a little, and before Cheng Yan finished speaking, she happily ran towards the earth platform, in the sea of flowers, running infinitely, very happy!
The horse looked at Xuelian, first surprised, and then smiled at everyone: "This way, it can be regarded as a few months with Xuelian, I have never seen how happy she is in the camp, and today I know that she also has an excited side!" ”
Meng Po said: "There are many miles you don't know, Xuelian, this child, was born with a hard life, and she lost her mother when she was a child, and now it is good for her to release her mood like this." ”
Cheng Yan watched Snow Lotus running in the sea of flowers, and couldn't help but feel more about this woman in his heart, as for what it felt, he couldn't say!
A gust of wind woke him up, only to realize that he was a little out of shape, and then looked behind him and said "Let's go!" He took the lead and stepped into the sea of flowers, and on it, with the pace of 150,000 troops, he walked out of a road, met with Snow Lotus, and then began to go to Sihui.
They walked so fast, stepped through the mountains and forests of Pinglu, and went straight to the periphery of Sihui, Cheng Yan was the first to squat, followed by the generals, and the 150,000 troops, all of them squatted down, waiting for Cheng Yan to give an order.
Cheng Yan looked ahead, only to see Sihui, it was not a mountain, but a forest, which grew very regularly, they were separated by a big tree of one meter, one hundred and ten miles wide, thick and large, and the land covered did not see the light of day, and it was humid and dangerous.
At a glance, there are thousands of big pine trees, there are more than 100 locust trees, half a hundred willows, half a thousand cinnamon trees, there are vines and grass ropes under the trees, white flowers, there are tigers walking in the forest, wolves are barking in the forest, ants are moving, wild monkeys are playing, squirrels are busy looking for homes, crows are in a hurry to drink water, and pythons turn over and out of the nest.
In the middle of the forest, there was originally a wide area that might hold 10,000 people, but now there are hundreds of ghost soldiers stationed there, and even if they can camp, it will be a lot of work!
After reading it, Cheng Yan frowned for a while, this place is already easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you rush out like this, it will inevitably be blocked, so he had an idea, turned his head and ordered: "Yu Ming, you lead 10,000 bird soldiers, incarnate in their original appearance, fly in, and wipe out all the ghost soldiers in that land for me." ”
Yu Ming said "yes", then got up, walked behind the generals, made a hint of starting, and then in the army of 150,000, 10,000 bird soldiers walked out, all turned into birds, Yu Ming took the lead, and flew towards the land.
After a while, on the edge of the field, Ben was quiet and clear, and a few ghost soldiers were chatting, when they suddenly heard a strange sound, and they immediately turned their heads, only to see that a group of small birds flew in.
The ghost soldiers were all dressed in white, and they didn't feel anything at first, but when the little birds got closer and closer, they realized that there was danger, and when they were about to take weapons to correspond, these little birds became human shapes with scriptures, and there were 10,000, and the leader was Yu Ming, and the ghost soldiers fought fiercely.
10,000 bird soldiers against the hundreds of ghost soldiers who are not ready, it is really vulnerable, surrounded by all the bird soldiers, and then the more they kill, the more exciting it becomes, the sword goes in and out, the soul is scattered and the ghost howls, and the eagle has no sympathy at all, until all of them are annihilated, and then it stops.
Then he called a soldier and ordered him: "Go to the forest quickly, and ask the general to bring the army in." ”
The bird soldier said "yes", and he turned into a bird here and flew out, but for a while, he arrived in front of Cheng Yan.
Cheng Yan looked at him and asked, "How is the battle?" ”
The bird soldier replied truthfully: "General, the ghost soldiers have been annihilated by all, and the Eagle Ming Pioneer asked me to tell the general to lead the army into quickly." ”
Cheng Yan was excited, said "Okay", and then ordered loudly: "All the soldiers listen to the order, follow me into the forest as soon as possible and set up camp." When he had finished shouting, he took the lead and followed the bird soldiers, followed by an army of 150,000 men, and went into the forest.
After a while, Cheng Yan led the crowd to the forest, and after a look, Yu Ming cleaned up the wide land very cleanly, then walked up to Cheng Yan and said, "General, according to what you said, everything has been arranged." ”
"Now that it's set up, let's start now and set up camp!"
After listening to what Cheng Yanzhi said, the generals all dispersed, only to hear each of them shouting: "Camp, camp and rest!" When he had finished shouting, the soldiers moved.
After a while, but in three hours, the land was in vain, hundreds of tents were all set up, and the soldiers were tired for a day, and then they all returned to the camp and rested early.
And Cheng Yan, knowing that the generals were also tired, dismissed them, let them enter the account to rest, and left him alone, and went into the main account in the middle.
Standing in front of the table, he then took out the map and looked at it, sorted out his thoughts, called two bird soldiers in, and ordered them both: "You two, immediately turn into birds, go to Quancheng to inquire about the enemy, see who the guard is, how many ghost soldiers there are, and report immediately after you know it!" ”
The two bird soldiers said "yes", and they did not rest, withdrew from the account, and immediately turned into two little birds, and flew towards the spring city.
Cheng Yan saw the two of them leaving, looked at the map, then thought deeply, and pointed out every route to Quancheng with his hand over and over again, and there would be some assumptions, thinking about attacking here and ambushing there, all in his mind.
Suddenly, he pointed to the map, saw a route, and laughed, and said: "Map, map, the paper, is small like home, but in such a small place as you, it is several times bigger, I am convinced!" It's just that this Sihui, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it's not a good place to camp, but somehow, I just want to stay here! ”
After Cheng Yan finished speaking, perhaps because of the long-term battle, he put away the map, and behind his hands, he looked like a big man's demeanor, so he closed his eyes, thought on the wall, and didn't speak.
At this moment, Xue Lian came in at the tent, she was carrying a can of soup and a bowl, seeing Cheng Yan's appearance, she didn't want to disturb her, she just walked gently, and after slowly putting the soup bowl in her hand on the table, she didn't say anything, and walked out gently.
Cheng Yan may have felt the wind of lifting the curtain when he came out of the tent, opened his eyes suddenly, turned around and saw that there was an extra soup bowl on the table, and sighed: "Godmother is really hearted, the bowl of soup is handled gently, so I haven't even seen anyone!" Then he went to the table, poured the soup into the bowl, drank it quickly, and saw that it was getting late, so he didn't think much about it, and went back to rest in the tent.
