Chapter 146: Revisiting the Old Place
Chapter 146: Revisiting the Old Place
The old woman half leaned against the cave wall, and before she died, after explaining her own affairs, she took out a small thing from her arms and held it in the palm of her hand, this is a ring, black and shiny, it is indeed a treasure, she said to Yang Shucheng:
"You go on."
How could Yang Shucheng refuse the dying trust of a nearly centenarian, immediately knelt on the ground, ......and kowtowed three times in a row.
Then he straightened up and took the ring with both hands.
The old woman said: "Boy, you take the ring, you must send the ring to Zhao Xiaolin, and pass on my last words." ”
"Yes." Yang Shucheng said, "I'll go to Hebei right now and hand over the ring to Zhao Xiaolin and Chief Sect Leader Zhao." ”
The old woman smiled with difficulty and said, "Don't be in a hurry now, I'll give you a hexagram, there is a happy event in your family, waiting for you to go home, you will go to Hebei again next spring." ”
Yang Shucheng was about to ask what kind of happy event, was it my sister Yang Yan who walked back by herself?
He was about to open his mouth, but the old woman suddenly became violent, and said loudly: "If you disobey my words, the sky will thunder, and I, I will ......."
Yang Shucheng was about to swear, but he saw that the old woman had closed her eyes and couldn't open them anymore.
Yang Shucheng still looked at her body and said firmly: "Old woman, don't worry, I will definitely do it." ”
Yang Shu also planned to let the old woman calculate the matter between her sister and Zhang Xunmei, now that the old woman is dead, it seems that she is really going to find Zhao Xiaolin in the Golden Persimmon Villa, it seems that all this is providence.
The old woman is dead, and although she does things unexpectedly, she has no ill will towards herself.
Yang Shucheng came to the outside of the cave, ready to bury the old woman, and when he escaped from the Holy Maiden Sect, he had a sword in his hand. So he dug a pit with his sword, and it took him half an hour. He went into the cave again, picked up the old woman, buried her in the pit, and piled up a small grave bag.
He planted a small pine sapling next to the grave, and picked up a few round white stones, which he placed in front of the grave as a sign of future recognition.
It seems that in life, no matter how powerful you are, no matter how prominent your position is, no matter how many gold and silver treasures, beautiful wives and concubines you have, you will die, and when you die, you will become a grave, and you will never be able to take anything with you, and you will slowly be forgotten.
Yang Shucheng stood in front of the new grave and was sad for a while,
The sun has risen overhead, Yang Shucheng listened to the old woman's dying words, saying that there is a happy event at home, waiting for him to go home, he has been out for half a year, and he should go home to bring peace to his family.
Yang Shucheng held the ring on the palm of his hand, for fear of losing it, so he hurriedly tore off a piece of cloth from his body, wrapped the ring, and then carefully put it in his arms.
Yang Shucheng stood halfway up the mountainside, looking at the Holy Maiden Sect, only to see that in the northwest, there are five mountain peaks towering, the mountainside is surrounded by white clouds, these five peaks are like a big lotus petal, supported by white clouds, verdant and dripping, between the lotus petals, the figure of the palace is faintly visible.
Yang Shucheng walked down the hill, bowed his head and walked west, but there were things haunting in his heart, but he couldn't remember what it was?
After walking for half a day, Yang Shucheng remembered that he went to Dabie Mountain to find Zhang Xunmei.
Yang Shucheng immediately turned to the east, thinking that when he found Zhang Xunmei, it would not be too late to rush home as soon as possible.
Yang Shucheng made up his mind, immediately quickened his pace, and ran towards Mingyue Gorge.
After running for a while, Yang Shucheng thought, Zhang Xunmei doesn't know if she is in Mingyue Gorge? It's been so long, if she's out of danger and has waited for herself for so long, maybe she's gone.
Yang Shucheng thought that it would be better to go from the north of the mountain to the east, to Luoshan County, and follow the route that the two had walked again, which is also a memory.
When Yang Shucheng thought of this, he jumped and ran north, ran out of Dabie Mountain, came to the north of the mountain, and came along the foothills of the mountain towards the east.
Along the way, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, hungry and thirsty, and ran on the road for two days. At this time, I only saw a village courtyard in front of the trees.
This is the Xiaoyao King Mu Chang, that is, Xia Changchun's Xiaoyao Villa, which can't help but think of Miss Mulan, she originally had a rich family, but overnight, the family was ruined, she was a weak woman, how could she accept it for a while!
Miss Moulan is wandering alone on the rivers and lakes, homeless, I wonder if she has returned to the mountain villa where she lived when she was a child?
Yang Shucheng begged for some food in a nearby village, stayed until dark, and came to Xiaoyao Villa.
Yang Shucheng has been here, everything is very familiar, he flew over the wall, jumped into the courtyard, there was a figure inside, Yang Shucheng flew and jumped onto a big camphor tree.
I saw a patrol walking by.
Yang Shucheng waited for them to walk by, flew into the room, came to the backyard, and observed inward, although it was the middle of the night, the guards and patrols inside were in order.
It turned out that Chen Jiagui led the family members of his old subordinates to kill Xia Changchun, and after taking revenge, Yan Min and his wife, who invited the "Taihang Monster" to help, and their apprentices, the "one-armed swordsman" Shang Anbei's master and apprentice, left one after another.
Chen Jiagui's side, most of the people have taken revenge, and they will also leave and return to their hometown, anyway, there are a lot of gold and silver treasures in the villa, and Chen Jiagui took out most of them as a pair of silver to let them return to their hometown.
There were more than 200 people left, and when they saw the chaos in the world, they did not want to go back.
Chen Jiagui was originally a general in the army, and he organized more than 200 people into an army and guarded Xia Changchun's Xiaoyao Villa, practicing every day, preparing to do a career in the troubled times.
They first went to ransack King Shen's mansion and robbed a lot of treasures, but King Shen had already received the news and escaped from Xinyang City, so he didn't catch him.
Later, when I went to attack Mingyue Village, I felt that it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it could be used as a way for myself to retreat. Helplessly, Mingyue Village defended with danger, although Chen Jiagui's side was stronger than them, but he attacked for several days, and he didn't attack it, so he had to give up.
Chen Jiagui led more than 200 people back to the villa, and managed the villa in an orderly manner.
Yang Shucheng hid on the roof, hoping that Miss Mulan would appear, but after waiting for two hours, he didn't see her figure.
Yang Shucheng ran out of the village, came to the back mountain, and walked to the place where he met Miss Mu Lan for the first time.
It is a canyon with a spring flowing from the ground and a white mist floating on the water. At that time, he was pushed off the cliff by Chen Jiagui, and he met Miss Mu Lan with a ring to admire the plum blossoms.
Yang Shucheng walked by the stream, the snow had not melted, the plum blossoms had fallen, and the shadow at that time had never appeared, and there was a wisp of fragrance in a trance.
Yang Shucheng sat on the stone bench by the stream, it was cold, he had been sitting for a long time, and the whole person was cold, but he had no intention of standing up and leaving, he hoped that Miss Mulan could come here.
By this time, the chickens in the cottage had already crowed.
Yang Shucheng had been waiting here for half the night.
It was about to dawn, and Yang Shucheng had to fly up the cliff, jump off the other side of the cliff, and walk out of the mountain from the path.
Walking out of the mountain, the sky was bright, and there were already walking figures on the road.
Yang Shucheng slowed down and walked forward.
Walked to a market town, had breakfast, slowly walked out of the town, and inquired all the way, it was not far from Xinyang City.
It was not far from Luoshan County that he came to the south of Xinyang City until late in the evening, and his first meeting with Zhang Xunmei was in that county. If you want to go to that city to see and trace the footprints of the past, you won't enter Xinyang City.
Yang Shucheng thought about it, and ran towards the southeast for a while, about twenty miles away, and it was dark that day.
Seeing a large village with more than 100 households on the side of the mountain, Yang Shucheng found a neat house and borrowed the night.
In the early night, Yang Shucheng thought that he would be able to go to Luoshan County tomorrow, and he was so excited that he couldn't sleep.
At this time, I heard the sound of people walking in the house. Yang Shucheng sat cross-legged on the bed, the night was silent, the sound in the room could be heard clearly, only the family walked into the hall, and only heard them murmuring:
"Mother Buddha, I've given you a snort."
Then I heard a kowtow of "dong dong dong...... and I thought that this family was still very devout to the Buddha mother.
After hearing the prostration, he began to pray:
"Mother Buddha, I have kowtowed to you for a few nights, and your old man can hear it."
"Mother Buddha, I can't help it, I'm going to trouble your old man, I have no other way."
"Mother Buddha, I only have to trouble your old man, as long as you help my family, we will burn incense for you for the rest of your life and worship you."
Speaking of which, it is to ask the Buddha's mother for help, Yang Shucheng listened to it in the next room for a long time, and he didn't know what they were going to do when they asked the Buddha's mother?
After listening for a while, I heard:
"Xiaoli was robbed by the prince for three or four days. This child has a stubborn temper, maybe the prince beat her, Buddha Mother, you have to bless this child. ”
Yang Shucheng heard them say: Lord Wang, I thought that this place is only twenty miles away from Xinyang City, if this prince is not King Shen, who else will it be?
