Go and see the days of the people at the bottom.

What you see is far less tragic than that.

Xia Hua was silent.

In the general's conversation with her, almost all of them revolved around the word "people", as if whatever he is doing now is not for himself, but for the justice of the world.

Xia Hua wanted to help Yan Xinglin.

Yan Xinglin refused with a smile: "Miss, the old man's health is very good now, your kindness, the old man understands it." ”

From her field of vision, Yan Xinglin's physical state was really bad, like a candle that was about to burn to the end, and the lights were dimming.

Yan Xinglin saw Xia Hua's frowning brows, a pair of autumn-like eyes rippled with water, and said with an open smile: "Before the old man didn't escort the princess to southern Xinjiang, he was a big master with a surname on the rivers and lakes, and then he was one year old and one year old, and the martial arts realm did not enter the realm, so it was not as good as a day, and now the old man can briefly recover to his full combat strength, and he is already satisfied, and he will die without regrets." ”

"Grandpa Yan......"

I was about to cry when I saw Xia Hua.

Yan Xinglin hurriedly said: "The eldest lady must not feel sad for the old man, she has lived a long time, and if she is placed in the people's homes, it is already considered a happy funeral, what is there to be sad about? When the eldest lady arrives in the capital and is safe, she will set up a tablet for the old man and bury it in the loess mound in the capital, so that the old man's soul can watch the spring and autumn of the capital day and night. ”

He had a hint of explaining the aftermath early.

Xia Hua just took Yan Xinglin's words to heart.

Zhao Que knew that the two-wound spell used by Yan Xinglin was domineering, and it was said that it could make him live for a longer period of time, and everything had accidents, and it was not surprising that the old man died suddenly when and where.

"Miss, spring and autumn, birth, old age, sickness and death, it is the cycle of heaven, you continue to live a good life in place of the old gentleman, in a sense, it is a great reward. ”

Xia Hua's eyes were dark.

Nodding.

Put your hands over your face and rub them vigorously.

Smiling.

"Grandpa Yan, when are we on the road?"

Yan Xinglin looked at her kindly and said: "Go to the back kitchen of the inn to cook a delicious meal, the eldest lady didn't sleep well all night, make up for a good night's sleep, let's go on the road again and go to the capital! ”

The hometown is even more timid, and he doesn't dare to ask anyone.

"General, let's go and see what the chef in this black shop looks like, right?"

Zhao Que looked at Xia Hua and said, "I'll go with the old gentleman, and the eldest lady will go back to the room and wait, right?!"

Xia Hua was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

Yan Xinglin wondered, "Why?"

Zhao Que replied with a smile: "You and I will go to the back kitchen of the black shop to take a look." ”

Since the general spoke, Yan Xinglin had no choice but to bow his head.

The old man watched Xia Hua walk back to the room, breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and ran to a corner, opening his mouth to spit out a large pool of blood, including minced meat.

Zhao Que frowned slightly: "Is the old gentleman okay?"

"It's okay, let's go. ”

Yan Xinglin casually grabbed the rag of the inn and wiped the blood off his mouth.

"These two injuries spells were passed on to me by the master, in a blink of an eye, nearly a jiazi passed, I thought that I would never use it again in this life, but I didn't expect that there would still be a day to use it. ”

Zhao Que said: "Other two-wound spells, after they are used up, the vitality will pass quickly, the old man's two-wound spell, after using it, can be kept in the peak state, no accident, as long as two months, Zhao Mouwei is unheard of." ”

"Hey, does the general believe in the Mandate of Heaven?"

"When you reach the three realms of the mid-mountain, which master doesn't believe in the Mandate of Heaven?"

If the general wants to learn, the old man can tell the general that he has finished the book, and with the general's amazing qualifications, it will definitely not take long to learn it. ”

Yan Xinglin accompanied Zhao Que and said.

Zhao Que thought for a moment and nodded: "If the old man is not too troublesome, tell Zhao." ”

"Three thousand avenues, eight hundred side doors, this two-wound technique, called "Turning Stars", among the eight hundred side doors, it can also be ranked in the top 100 if it is full of calculations, the old man's master once said that the potential of "Turning Stars" is far more than just a two-wound spell, and if you cultivate to the realm, you may have the means to turn decay into magic. ”

Immediately, Yan Xinglin slowly said the scriptures of the secret technique of "Turning Stars" to Zhao Que word by word.

The kitchen is in the backyard of the inn.

There is also a small door.

The small door went out to the horse shed, and the jujube red thin horse ate the best forage in the manger, and when he saw Zhao Que, he hummed a few times.

When you don't get to the back kitchen, you can smell the smell of blood.

Push open the door to the back kitchen.

The guy is messy, but the pot is clean.

The jar containing oil and water is divided into two, one jar contains rapeseed oil, and the other is like lard, which is clearer, perhaps human oil.

The vegetables that can be harvested in winter are piled aside, and the Chinese cabbage that survives the winter is the main one, and there are some other vegetables.

The bacon was hanging, and Zhao Que sniffed it closely, it was indeed bacon, not human flesh.

"In another room. "Strictly follow the forest road.

Zhao Que hummed softly.

Then, Yan Xinglin continued to talk about the scriptures of "Turning Stars".

The scriptures go from shallow to deep, the front is a two-wound spell, and the back is like a secret of cultivation.

Zhao Que listened and paused.

"This secret technique is incredible. ”

Yan Xinglin stopped again, and the words and sentences of "Turning Stars" had already been familiar to him, and he was reciting them like a stream.

"Master once said the same thing to me, but the old man's qualifications, this is the end, and he can only use "Turning Stars" as a two-wound spell. ”

Zhao Que thought for a while: ""Turning Stars" to this paragraph you recited, it has turned into a cultivation method for qi refiners, the strange thing is that martial artists can also practice, and the old man can use the two-injury technique, thanks to this, if not, I am afraid that even if the old man uses the two-injury technique as a hole card, the effect will definitely be greatly reduced." ”

Yan Xinglin shook his head and said, "This is what the old man doesn't understand. ”

Zhao Que pondered for a while, but didn't speak, just pushed open the door of a room next to the back kitchen.

The smell of blood immediately flourished, with the stench of decay.

Iron hooks hung from the beams, and three corpses hung upside down.

Two were middle-aged and one was a teenager.

Some parts of the corpse have decomposed.

Similarly, the bodies of the three were mutilated.

"This ......"

Yan Xinglin was used to seeing strong winds and rains, and when he suddenly saw such a miserable scene, he just sighed.

If Xia Hua saw this scene, she would definitely be frightened.

"Thank you, General, it's the old man who didn't think about it. ”

Yan Xinglin sighed.

It turned out that there was indeed a reason why the general did not let the eldest lady accompany him.

Zhao Que said: "One thing for another?"

"Huh?" Yan Xinglin was puzzled.

Zhao Que asked, "When did Tan Fu join the Xia family?"

Yan Xinglin lowered his head and pondered, and then said: "Not long after General Tan led his troops to southern Xinjiang, the head of the family personally brought a generous gift to visit General Tan. ”

"Please?"

"Exactly. ”

"Hmph, the courtesy is thoughtful, and there are generous gifts, no wonder Tan Fu took refuge in the Xia family. ”

Zhao Que asked again: "How did you find out?"

Then he smiled.

"The old gentleman is Princess Zhaoyun's person, so Princess Zhaoyun must have asked you to listen to it, right?"

Yan Xinglin clenched his fists and said, "The general is wise." ”

"There's nothing else, the technique of "Turning Stars" can be regarded as my reward for interfering in your battle with those four people. Zhao Que said.

Just now, Yan Xinglin finished reciting the scriptures of "Turning Stars".

The last four words are "Jingxing Linfeng".

It appears extremely abruptly.

"Is the name of this technique given by Lingshi?" Zhao Que asked.

Yan Xinglin nodded: "Exactly, when Shizun got this secret technique, he didn't have a name, and this technique mentioned the stars many times, and the secret technique was preceded by a two-wound technique, so Shizun named it "Turning Stars", which means that he used the two-wound technique as a last resort, and he died, and he also turned into a star in the sky." ”

Zhao Que once searched a book from a great master of the Hanshan Dynasty on the battlefield of Xisai, which recorded the introduction of eight hundred spells in the side door, although there was no way to cultivate, Zhao Que still left it and read it carefully.

The person who compiled this book simply arranged the various techniques from strong to weak, and Zhao Que remembered that among the top ten techniques, he forgot how many they were ranked, and there was a technique called "Jingxing Linfeng".

The writer annotates on the side.

"Jingxing Lin Phoenix" a technique, inherited for thousands of years, so far this technique has not been found, should be disappeared from the world, it is rumored that this technique is practiced to the fullest, anytime and anywhere can burst out of the power of immortals, it is really not a fairy art that should not appear in the world.

Zhao Que exhaled.

If Yan Xinglin's "Turning Star" is actually the "Jingxing Linfeng" that has not seen the world, then the old man can still have more than a month of life after performing the two-wound spell, which shows its magic.

Of course, the aftermath is also extremely serious, and no martial artist or qi refiner wants the luck and fate accumulated in a lifetime to come to naught.

"The general thinks there's something wrong?" Yan Xinglin asked.

Zhao Que shook his head: "This technique is really magical, Zhao thinks it shouldn't be called "Turning Stars". ”

"Yes, the name is still given by the respected teacher, old man, when I was wandering the rivers and lakes, I asked the master many times, but unfortunately everyone didn't know what the name of the magic was. ”

"Then they didn't get greedy?"

Yan Xinglin said with a smile: "The old man just talked about someone on the rivers and lakes who performed this technique, and it happened to be seen by me. ”

Zhao Que smiled and bowed his head.

"General, please rest for a while, I'll stay in the back kitchen to cook some meals, and I'll call the general and the eldest lady to eat later." ”

"Bring the food to the room, this inn is not a place to eat inside or out. ”

"Obey the orders of the Great General. ”

Yan Xinglin clenched his fists.

Zhao Que just walked to the door of the room.

Xia Hua pushed the door and walked out.

I hadn't looked at her closely.

Zhao Que found that Xia Hua had a red rope tied to her right wrist.

"Miss Xia has a favorite boy?"

Before Xia Hua could speak, she heard the general say this, and suddenly blushed rarely.

She is precocious and trapped in the Xia family for a long time, so she should not meet the person she likes early, but after the year of Jilu, the Xia family will find a suitable family for her.

To be able to compete with the Xia family in southern Xinjiang is not a gate valve family.

"How can the general see it?" Xia Hua, such a smart girl, asked with a twist.

Zhao Que said: "Zhao has heard that the old ginseng farmers in the northeast mountains of Daxia will tie a red rope to it after finding ginseng, not only to tell the ginseng farmers found later, the ginseng has belonged, and the red rope also has the saying of driving away evil spirits and avoiding disasters.

And Miss Xia tied a red rope on her right wrist, with Miss Xia's mind, it must not be to drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters, she must have a favorite boy. ”

Xia Hua's cheeks were ruddy, and she nodded faintly.

"Is he in Southern Xinjiang?" Zhao Que asked.

Xia Hua nodded.

"How different from who you are?"

She nodded.

Zhao Que sighed: "You left Southern Xinjiang, does he know?"

"I told him before I left. ”

"How did he react?"

He only said a vague verse. ”

The eyes of summer flowers are like autumn water, and they are suddenly extremely sentimental.

"He said, 'Every family begs to look at the autumn moon and wears tens of thousands of red silks'. ”

Zhao Que only sighed, "Red beans are born in the south, and a few branches are sent in spring." May you pick more, this thing is the most lovely. ”

Immediately, he said: "The old gentleman is cooking in the back kitchen, Miss Xia will go back to the room and wait for some time." ”

Xia Hua, who was sad, went back blankly and closed the door.

I forgot all the words I wanted to say to the general.

Yan Xinglin invited Zhao Que to their room for dinner.

Zhao Que happily went.

Mo said that Yan Xinglin's craftsmanship is not bad, with all the color, fragrance and flavor.

"The general didn't know, when the old man walked the rivers and lakes, he did the work of a cook, and the craftsmanship was really good, and many well-known restaurants on the rivers and lakes competed to spend a lot of money to invite the old man to their restaurants as a cook, if it wasn't for the coincidence that he entered Long Tiewei, the old man may still be incognito in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Jianghu people have their own way, free and unrestrained, as long as they don't make big mistakes, they can be completely hidden in the city. Zhao Que sighed.

"The general returned to Nanyang from Xisai, do you have the heart to experience the way of life of the people of the rivers and lakes?" Yan Xinglin asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zhao Que took a mouthful of food into his mouth.

Yan Xinglin collected the best drinks in the inn again, and he took another sip of the wine in the cup.

Said slowly.

"I did have such an idea at the beginning, but I have come all the way to the present, and I can't help myself with many things. ”

Yan Xinglin nodded silently.

He cooks a lot of food, and Xia Hua gobbles it up.

It's as if you want to sprinkle the sadness in your heart into your meal and eat it into your stomach.

Some people, if they meet, it is better not to meet them.

What brings only sorrow is brought.

Zhao Que glanced at her.

Enough to meet.

Xia Hua went to the capital, and then reunited with the boy she had been thinking about, and she didn't know how many lives she needed to waste on the reincarnation.

Ate the meal.

The three of them walked out of the inn "chicly".

Zhao Que found Brother Ma and wanted to give up the jujube red thin horse to Yan Xinglin and Xia Hua.

Neither of them agreed, and both said that the general was no longer what it used to be, and a thin horse replaced the foot strength, although it was better than nothing, but it could also save some physical strength for the general.

The three of them hurried together and walked for about ten miles.

It has gone out of the boundary of Nanyangzhou.

There was a fork in the road.

Head northwest to Meitang Prefecture.

Head north to the capital.

Yan Xinglin bowed deeply: "In this life and this life, I can't repay the great favor of the general, just wait for the next life, the old man will be a cow and a horse for the general." ”

Xia Hua said seriously: "The agreement with the general in the inn, the little girl remembers it in her heart!"

Zhao Que said: "The rivers and lakes are far away, and life is complicated, so I will leave!"

Let's talk about it.

He led the red thin horse and turned straight away.

Xia Hua asked Yan Xinglin: "Grandpa Yan, what is the general like in your heart?"

Yan Xinglin looked at Zhao Que's back and said with a low smile: "Who dares to cross the sword immediately?

......

Inaccessible.

Ahead is a mountain of mountains.

Zhao Que rode on a thin red horse, and encountered the cold and sudden winter rain.

Poured on the body, it was chilling.

Where there was no place to hide from the rain, he shuttled through the mountains and forests.

I finally walked out of the mountain forest, and finally saw a small hillside under the mountain, which seemed to be a house faintly.

Hurriedly urged the thin horse to spread his hooves and go to shelter from the rain.

The old temple in the mountains.

Half of the temple collapsed.

With this place to shelter from the rain, Zhao Que Mo said that he was disgusted, and he simply needed to thank God for remembering his past military exploits and guiding him to find a temporary place to live.

Fortunately, the fire fold did not get wet.

Shrinking in half of the ruined temple, Zhao Que gathered the weeds and ignited them with difficulty.

He threw his brother on a fallen stone, and by the back of the horse, he took off his wet clothes and dried them over the fire.

Such winter.

Winter rain falls heavily in the mountains.

Zhao Que, who had little clothes left, sat by the fire, curled up and waited for the rain to stop.

I don't know if he lost his mind because he had been in a hurry for too long and didn't rest, or if there was really that fox spirit in the dark......

He actually saw a beautiful woman in a wedding dress suddenly in the rain, and Shi Shiran came over.

As the stunning beauty approached, the fragrance was fragrant.

He couldn't tell what kind of floral fragrance or the body fragrance of a beautiful woman was, but he felt dizzy, like falling clouds.

When you come back to your senses.

The beautiful woman was seated across from him.

The firelight shone on her face, and Zhao Que suddenly wondered.

This beautiful woman in a wedding dress is not her, but Qi Sheng, who Zhao Que thought about in the evening.

Qi ...... Qi Sheng?!"

Zhao Que muttered.

I can't believe it.

When it rained on the way, she went to half of the ruined temple to take refuge, lit a fire, and Qi Sheng found her.

The beautiful woman smiled.

Moonlight.

This smile, Bai Meisheng.

"The general has been injured so far, and he has suffered from the cold rain, I am afraid that he has suffered from the cold, and he is slightly delirious, which is Qi Sheng's concubine......"

Zhao Que shook his head, clenched his fists and asked, "Dare to ask Miss, who is your surname, where is she from, and where are you going?"

The beautiful woman turned sideways and avoided it, not being worshiped by Zhao Que.

"General, the concubine's surname is Hua, and her single name is a ruizi, from Nanyangzhou, to Meitang Prefecture. ”

"Oh, you actually came from the same place as Zhao and went to the same place?!"

Hua Rui covered her mouth and smiled, looking at Zhao Que stupidly.

Speechless for a moment.

Zhao Que was abruptly dazed.

Wait a moment.

This beautiful woman got up and took off her wedding dress, walked to Zhao Que's side, and draped it on him: "General, the weather is cold, don't dislike the concubine's rough wedding dress, put on a batch for the time being." ”

Zhao Que touched the wedding dress and asked, "The girl put the wedding dress on me, and the girl is not cold?"

Hua Rui smiled: "The concubine was originally from a poor family, and she was a little cold, so she couldn't hurt the concubine. ”

"Why do you cloak me?"

Hua Rui sat beside Zhao Que and said softly: "What the general has done for the people in Nanyangzhou, the concubine sees it in her eyes and admires it in her heart. ”

Zhao Que wanted to speak.

Hua Rui interrupted: "General, look at the direction of the concubine's finger, there is a mountain stream path, although it is not easy to walk, it is still the only road that can cross this mountain, which is not so steep.

Fifty miles to the east of this place, there was a city called Shanjia City, and the merchants of Shanjia City would transport goods from this mountain stream to other places every once in a while.

The general can rest assured that a merchant who regards his property as his own life will not harm his own life, right?"

Zhao Que hurriedly got up and thanked him.

I didn't think about it.

Hua Rui grabbed Zhao Que's arms and pulled him down to sit down.

"You are the general Zhao Gou Chen who no one in the world knows the king, and he sat in Xisai to send peace to the people of the world, and then gave the people of Nanyang a chance to live. ”

Zhao Que suddenly fell asleep, only said the word girl, curled up and fell asleep.

Winter rains continue.

In the second half of the night, there were snowflakes.

It wasn't until early in the morning that the rain dissipated.

The Great Sun leaped out of the east.

Zhao Que woke up.

The back of his shoulders was covered with a layer of withered grass.

When he fell asleep, he was not exposed to the cold because of the dry grass.

After shaking off his body a few times, Zhao Que looked up and saw that the withered grass was growing in the cracks on the top of the temple, and somehow fell on his body.

The fire has long since been extinguished.

The clothes on horseback were still half wet and half dry.

Zhao Que was born in the military, so he wouldn't care about this.

Get dressed neatly.

led the jujube red thin horse, and naturally walked towards the mountain stream path.

After walking dozens of feet, he suddenly looked back at the half-collapsed ruined temple.

I wondered.

As if there was something unspoken.

Ultimately.

Zhao Que let go of the reins.

Get dressed in order.

With the Confucian courtesy, respectfully bow down to half of the broken temple.

After that, holding the reins, find a mountain stream path that is not easy to find.

Across the mountain.

As for the half of the ruined temple.

It should have rained heavily overnight, and the foundation was completely unstable, and after Zhao Que walked out of the continuous mountains, it collapsed quietly.

......

The situation of not being able to find a store in front of the village and behind it has been more than half a month.

Zhao Que was gray-headed, and the clothes on his body were dirty.

The jujube thin horse was even thinner, and the reins were held in Zhao Que's hand, dragging them from time to time, but they still walked falteringly, like an old man in his last years.

When you see a small farm that appears not far away.

Zhao Que smiled.

"Brother Ma, Brother Ma! Look! There's a farm in front, and we've got something to eat!"

Rao is the general of the auxiliary country of the dynasty, and his mood is almost flawless on the battlefield, but he has been on the road for so many days in the barren mountains and mountains, and he has been thinking about how long the dry food he carries can last, and when he is reluctant to eat, he is looking for wild food all over the mountains to satisfy his hunger, and when he sees the farm, his mood is also rippling, and he is happy like a child.

Haven't entered the farm yet.

He heard the laughter of children and the reprimands of adults.

"Where do the guests come from?"

The first to spot him was a kid with pigtails, who asked with a smile.

Zhao Que, who was leading the thin horse, let go of the reins and said, "Zhao is from Nanyangzhou." ”
