Chapter Ninety-Three: A Thought of the Hot Summer, a Word of Spring, and a Road Encounter
Holding the little girl who was sleeping loudly, she walked out of the courtyard, and returned to the outside of the village and town in silence.
Qingniu raised his head, his eyes fell on the little girl in Lu Xuan's hand, and a look of surprise flashed on his face:
"Sir, this is."
Lu Xuan smiled and said softly:
"I was entrusted by someone, but this woman is destined for me."
Qingniu nodded thoughtfully and said:
"That's a great fate."
Lu Xuan smiled and didn't say anything, just hugged the little girl in his arms, his eyes glanced around, piercing the void, and his void eyes manifested on the sky, overlooking the ice and snow within a radius of 100,000 miles.
When it comes to the eye, it's shocking.
He sighed softly, his mind shook, and he changed the [Xanadu] and [Primordial Heaven and Earth] to Xia, and immediately opened the two acupoints, reflecting and resonating in the great heaven and earth.
At the same time, Lu Xuan silently urged the great magic power called [Dou Zhuan Xing Xing Shifting], which is said to be changing the stars and changing the moon, but it can also change the four seasons.
Under the resonance of the stars and the two tricks, there was a wisp of summer wind blowing in this 100,000 miles of ice and snow, and suddenly the scorching sun was in the sky, unscrupulously splashing the scorching brilliance, making the ice and snow melt.
Three quarters of an hour later, under the light of the extremely hot sun, within a radius of 100,000 miles, there was finally no longer the same snow, and the snow thawed, revealing the brown earth.
Then, Lu Xuan used [Dou Zhuan Star Shift] again to change the seasons in the Heaven and Earth of the Acupoints, and resonated with the Great Heaven and Earth, slightly drooping his eyelids, and spitting like thunder:
"Spring."
When the words fell, a spring breeze blew, and the eight hundred plants, trees, birds, and beasts not far away all bent their waists or bowed their heads, all of which shook.
A thought of the hot summer, a word of spring.
The spring breeze is long, blowing millions of green shades in this disaster land that has been cut off from scenery for several years,
Lu Xuan hugged the little girl and said sideways:
"This place has been plagued by disasters for several years, and a hundred ruins are waiting to be rebuilt, and you will stay here for a year to help the people here rebuild, but what?"
Eighty-one Jiaqibai:
"Follow Lu Zi's order!"
Lu Xuan bowed his head, looked at the beasts and birds that bowed down to the grass and trees not far away, and asked softly:
"All souls are extinct here, and you may also stay here for a year, the grass and trees will turn into shade, and the beasts and birds will be gods, sheltering here for a hundred thousand miles for a year?"
"Follow Lu Zi's order!"
Eight hundred people who listened to the sermon heard that the grass and tree spirits, beasts and birds with good cultivation spoke out in unison, bent their waists again, bowed their heads again, and did not dare to get up.
The old man smiled:
"Then I will preach the Great Dao in the capital of Chu State a year later."
After that, he hugged the girl in his arms and turned over the green ox, while Zhao Zheng took the lead, and the eighty-one jia and eight hundred grass, trees, beasts and birds waited until the green ox carried the old Taoist completely disappeared.
Only then did he follow the instructions of the old Taoist, or to relieve the disaster, or to reassure the people, or to sprout a shade, or to shelter a place.
All are conscientious and conscientious, and dare not slack off.
………………
After traveling 100,000 miles in three days, and half a year later, it was close to the border of Chu State.
"Miss, it's almost to the border of Chu State, and it is estimated that it will take two days to reach Jiangling."
As she spoke, the maid couldn't hold back and asked curiously:
"Miss, why do you personally escort this batch of goods? I don't know how many times the caravan has walked this road, but in fact, there should be no change."
Lu Niangrong shook her head and said:
"The Lu family firm over there in Jiangling has been impacted, the situation is very bad, and I am going to preside over the overall situation. Of course, there are a few rumors I heard. ”
"Rumors? What rumors? "The maid grew up with Lu Niangrong since she was a child, so she is quite kind and unrestrained.
Lu Niangrong thought for a moment and replied:
"There are two rumors, one is that the Guiguzi, who has become famous in recent years, lives in seclusion near Jiangling, and the other is that Confucius, who traveled around the world, is also about to arrive in Jiangling.
The maid seemed to understand or not, and asked curiously:
"The top three sons of the world. Then the first should be the legendary Lu Zi, right? Miss is looking for the traces of Confucius and Guiguzi, but it is better to find the traces of Luzi. ”
As she spoke, she blinked her eyes and smiled:
"I've heard before that Lu Zi is followed by eighty-one jia and eight hundred grass, trees, beasts and birds that have become fine, it should be easy to find"
"You, you." Lu Niangrong smiled helplessly: "Who dares to peep into Lu Zi's whereabouts?" ”
After a pause, she continued:
"Mainly because there are some problems with the trading house in Gangneung, someone has to deal with it, and I heard that the two great masters may be there, so I came."
The maid nodded as if she didn't understand.
Looking at the getting late sky, Lu Niangrong looked sideways at the caravan leader and ordered:
"It's getting late, I'm camping nearby for the time being, there are many fierce beasts and monsters in the mountains, be careful."
"Yes, miss."
The leader of the caravan nodded respectfully, beckoned the escort guards and small merchants to move, and soon laid out a simple camp.
After torches had been lit in all directions, the caravan leader piled up firewood in the center of the camp and lit a flame to roast some of the small beasts that were hunted along the way for dinner.
During the period, the guards did not dare to relax their vigilance, in this great wilderness, there were already monsters rampant, especially at night, it was the time when many fierce monsters came out to forage,
That's why they don't dare to go any more at dusk.
The flesh of the beast was scorched, and the aroma came out one by one, and dispersed to the surroundings, attracting many fierce beasts to serve them, but they were all afraid of the fire and a few of the strong breaths, and they only waited around, and did not dare to the former.
"It smells so good."
On the mountain road not far from the camp, there was a soft and glutinous sound, the sound was not loud, but it was particularly noticeable in the silent night.
In addition, some of the people in the camp are a little cultivated, so naturally they all heard the sound.
It's so late, how can there be people in the wilderness?
Some of the guards looked at the past vigilantly, and Lu Niangrong, who was sitting by the bonfire, also looked up curiously.
As a result, I saw a young man in his twenties and thirties, who was walking slowly with a green ox, carrying an old man in a Taoist robe on his back, and the old man was holding a little girl in his arms.
The one who spoke just now was this little girl.
When she saw Qingniu and the old Taoist, Lu Niangrong was startled, but after finding that the legendary eighty-one jia was not followed behind her, she breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest.
At this time, not far away, the little girl in the old man's arms sniffed and swallowed again:
"Grandpa Lu, it's really, really fragrant."
"You kid." The old Taoist smiled helplessly and rubbed Lu Jianxue's little head.
Lu Jianxue is the name he gave, this girl was frozen and her mind was broken, her memories of the past were very vague, and she was on the verge of dying for a while, and she was almost rescued by Lu Xuan when she took the last few breaths, and she didn't know her name at all.
Lu Xuan gave her such a name.
Zhao Zheng, who was holding the cow, hesitated for a moment and said with a smile:
"Father-in-law, why don't I go to that camp in exchange for some barbecue? I had some money with me. ”
'Boom! ’
Lu Jianxue swallowed her saliva again, her eyes were shining, and her voice was milky:
"Yes, yes! Brother Zheng is the best! ”
The old Taoist smiled helplessly again and knocked on the little girl's head:
"I haven't spoken yet, but I'll take it down for me first, Xiao Zheng, go to the camp and change some barbecue."
The ignorant Lu Jianxue laughed excitedly, climbed out of Lu Xuan's arms, leaned on the back of the cow, and grabbed the two horns of the green cow:
"Grandpa Niu, rush to rush! Barbecue, barbecue! ”
"Moo!"
Qingniu was not annoyed, and happily cooperated with Xiao Jianxue's command, swaying the cow's head, and walked slowly towards the camp.
The guards in the camp were slightly vigilant, and the caravan leader pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, but was immediately stopped by Lu Niangrong on the side:
"It's just a passerby, it doesn't have to be that way."
"Miss." The leader of the caravan reminded: "To be able to walk alone in the wilderness, and with a two- or three-year-old baby, such a character will never be simple."
"I know." Lu Niangrong smiled gently: "But didn't you hear it too?" Just come and get some barbecue for them. ”
As she spoke, she looked at the little girl who was holding the horns of the cow and was full of excitement, and some smiles appeared on her face.
Such a cute little girl carved in pink and jade, Rao is something she also likes.
The green ox approached the camp, and the young man holding the cow said politely:
"I waited for this place to pass by, but the child was greedy. We wanted to change some barbecue, I don't know."
"No need."
Lu Niangrong greeted Shi Ran and said with a smile:
"The meeting of Pingshui is fate, just a little barbecue."
As she spoke, she motioned for the guards to insert a sizzling barbecue, Lu Jianxue's eyes straightened, and the crystal saliva unconsciously flowed down, smashing on the cow's head drop by drop.
"Moo!!" Qingniu snorted.
After inserting the barbecue, Lu Niangrong was a little worried, not to mention that the barbecue was hot, and with this little girl's mouth, it was a question whether she could gnaw or not.
After thinking about it, she looked at the old Taoist on the back of the cow and said politely:
"This Taoist is a little difficult to divide this meat. At night, in the great wilderness, there are many dangers, and it is not suitable for hurrying, if the Taoist chief does not dislike it, why not stay in the camp for one night? ”
On the side, the caravan leader's lips moved, but he glanced at the little girl, but still didn't say anything.
The old Taoist on the back of the cow thought for a moment, and then nodded gently:
"That's what I'm bothering, thank you."
As he spoke, he patted Lu Jianxue's little brain and said with a smile:
"Don't you want to thank them?"
"Wow!" Lu Jianxue sucked up the crystal saliva, smiled, and said crisply: "Thank you, big sister!" ”
Lu Niangrong smiled back.
The caravan guards moved the temporary wooden fence, the old Taoist held Lu Jianxue, slowly turned over from the back of the ox, and the three people and one ox walked into the camp.
After a while, Qingniu dozed off on the edge of the camp, while Lu Xuan and Zhao Zheng took Lu Jianxue to sit generously beside the bonfire, and the latter lay in Lu Xuan's arms, confused by the fragrance in front of him, and kept spitting.
Lu Niangrong covered her mouth and chuckled, cut a small piece of barbecue meat with a knife and handed it to Lu Jianxue, then said with a smile:
"My name is Lu Niangrong, we are here to defend the country and go to Jiangling in Chu State."
As she spoke, she saw the old Taoist who was holding the little girl in her arms raise her head, smiled peacefully, and said:
"Poor Dao's surname is Lu, this is Lu Jianxue, this is Zhao Zheng, we are all from Qin, but we also want to go to Jiangling, it's a coincidence."
"Oh?"
A hint of curiosity flashed in Lu Niangrong's eyes:
"Did the Taoist also go to Gangneung? I don't know where to go."
In the end, she still maintained the most basic vigilance and asked probing questions.
Lu Xuan rubbed Lu Jianxue's head, who was gnawing on the barbecue, and responded softly:
"I heard that Guiguzi lives near Jiangling, and I want to visit one or two."
He is telling the truth, Lu Xuan has always been a little curious, he can change the past of others, can he change his own past?
Grandpa Chu tore off a small world and threw Senior Brother Zhang into it, for people in this era, it is the future, but for himself, it is the past.
Of course, in a sense, it is also the future.
Hearing the old man's words, the caravan leader on the side was obviously relieved, while Lu Niangrong was a little surprised:
"That's really a coincidence, don't hide it from the Taoist, I went to Jiangling, I also wanted to see if I could visit Guiguzi, and I heard that Confucius was going to travel to Jiangling, and I also wanted to visit one or two."
"Confucius?" Lu Xuan smiled a little surprised, well, it's quite a coincidence.
It's been a while since I've seen Kong Zhongni.
When Lu Niangrong wanted to say something, on the side, Zhao Zheng, who had not spoken, said thoughtfully:
"Came from defending the country, traveled business, and took Lu as his surname. If I guessed correctly, Miss Lu should be the daughter of the big merchant Lu Buwei, right? ”
