Chapter 177: Izumo Station
Xiao Ganyun echoed: "Miss Jiang's words are my words!" ”
Sleepless nights and looking around at the crowd.
Chu Yan looks like a fairy in the Moon Palace, Jiang Panyan is young, cute and clever, Xiao Ganyun is rough and mighty, and he can't see it for a long time, otherwise it will hurt his eyes.
Everyone is different, but for the time being, they all came together because of him and formed a strange combination.
By the way, I almost forgot the little cutie in my arms.
Sleepless held Yun Sheng and wrapped his swaddling clothes tightly, so as not to let the cold wind blow him.
He is in good health and cannot afford to relapse.
"That is ......"
It's rare to get together in life, this kind of fate is really not easy, and then to say something to break up everyone, but it is a big bad scenery, and even hurts the heavens and the peace.
A smooth smile appeared on Ye Wumian's face: "Then let's head towards Wugong Mountain together!" Goal: Wugong Mountain, above the Golden Dome, Wugong Mountain Golden Dome Gate! ”
“…… Good! ”
Chu Yan smiled happily.
According to the record of "Forgotten Things" written by Mrs. Tai, the sect created by the people of Wugong Mountain is the Jinding Gate, which is located on the top of the Golden Dome.
A grain of ice fell on his face, and the ice melted away.
This kind of ice is strictly known as ice rain, because the temperature is too low, the rain turns into ice. Some areas in the south, such as Huguang, call this kind of ice sand and snow, which is different from the goose feather snow that is easy to pile up in common sense.
Out of the Zhangjiafang market, Wugong Mountain is in sight.
The sky was overcast and cold, the ice and rain were fighting, and the mountain shadow of Wugong Mountain was covered with a layer of gloomy coloring, which seemed to be a dancer from the Western Regions, wearing a black veil to cover her true face.
It lay there quietly, obscuring its view to the east, lacking life in winter, and occasionally seeing a black bird or two, braving the rain, sweeping through the air.
Unfortunately, there are no flies in the rain that can be used as dinner.
The birds chirped weakly, hoping to find some bloody food to satisfy their hunger in some listless grass.
Between the gaps in the mountains, there is a faint red shadow, sleepless squinting eyes into the distance, it should be clear in the distance, regardless of the local rain and snow, do not participate in the joys and sorrows that are close at hand.
Xiao Ganyun said suddenly: "For thousands of years, Wugong Mountain has been a famous mountain that has lived in the two worlds of Huguangjiang and Jiangxi, and has fought against Heng and Lu. ”
Sleepless nights are silent.
The lineage of Wugong Mountain is so important, and the name of the mountain is prominent, but there is such an evil person as Wugong Mountain People.
It's not enough to practice evil skills, but he even secretly manipulated the business of abducting and selling young children, and completely ruined the reputation of Wugong Mountain.
"This person named himself after 'Wugong Mountain Man', which is really shameless."
It is only a reversal of cultivation, and the mental technique is not correct, so it is claimed that there is a suspicion of transgression.
There is also some time to walk the rivers and lakes without sleep, and I don't know how many famous mountains and rivers I have walked through, but I have never seen such a name.
He hadn't seen any "Songshan people", "Laojun mountain people", "Yuelu mountain people", "Yueyanglou people", "Dongting Lake people" and so on.
After mocking himself for a while, several people went up the avenue of mountaineering.
The avenue here is very wide, can accommodate two horses in parallel, comparable to the general official road, the drop is not big, the terrain is relatively flat. There were some gravel on it, which was polished so round that you didn't feel like you stepped on it.
This section of the road is rare to see in the flatland, and it is even more rare to see it in the mountains.
When you meet mountain people along the way, you can go out of the mountain with mountain goods, or buy New Year's goods back to the mountain, or carry a small basket on your back to pick some winter wild vegetables in the mountains to subsidize your meals.
Most of the mountain people were thin, vegetable, and their clothes were tattered. What's more, the clothes are torn into strands, the clothes are not covered, the cold is shivering, the body is bruised, and the chilblains are swollen.
There is a sigh of how difficult it is for the people!
Sleepless asked an old man along the road: "How long is the road as wide as this?" Where do you get to the mountain? ”
The old man was very ear-back, and after listening to it several times, he heard it clearly, and replied, "It's not long, it's only two or three miles." At the end is an official post station called Izumo Station. After the post station, it is a rugged and winding path. ”
It is no wonder that there can be a big road, it turns out that there is a post station ahead.
Bidding farewell to the old man, Sleepless and others went forward.
It's dark and early in winter. When it was almost dark, Sleepless Night and the others saw a large post station, located under a high and steep hillside.
The hillside seemed to rise from the ground. Looking up, the mountains spread out into the depths of the dark clouds.
There are seven or eight tile houses in the post station, which is a big post house, but compared with the hillside that it leans on, it is a small bird and a person, which looks small and exquisite.
Outside the post station, there are a few tall solid-colored horses, which can be seen as official horses at a glance; More than a dozen horses of various colors are thought to be ridden by idlers in the rivers and lakes.
As for donkeys and mules, there are also quite a few, which should be used to transport supplies to the mountains. However, the items hanging on it have been removed, and it is impossible to leave them out there.
During this period, it was very popular, and there were many contacts. There are those who wear brocade robes and recite a poem when they see the snow falling, which is a high-ranking official and a rich squire; There are people who come and go, meet friends with swords, and talk loudly, this is a hero; There are those who are dressed in thick clothes, strolling leisurely, hurting winter and looking forward to spring, are talented and beautiful,
There are also grassroots officials who are overwhelmed by the formalism and bureaucracy of their superiors.
Sleepless pointed to the post station and asked Chu Yan and the others: "Since it is late, we will stay here for one night tonight, and after breakfast early tomorrow morning, how about going to Jinding?" ”
Chu Yan nodded and said, "It's all up to the son's orders." ”
Xiao Ganyun and Jiang Pan also had no objections.
Sleepless at night found a post man, asked him to tie the horse, and bought a guest room.
It's really fortunate that there are just two rooms left, and there are two small and small rooms. The asking price is actually one or two silver per night, which is many times more expensive than the mountain.
The postman smiled: "You talented man, how do you know that rice in this mountain is expensive?" Seeing the snow falling, the heavy snow will cover the mountains tomorrow, the materials will be in short supply, and the price will be doubled. ”
Between his words, he didn't have much respect for the sleepless nights dressed up as "Xiucai". I think it's in this post station, and I'm used to seeing officials and soldiers.
Ye Wuxian also smiled slightly, and said: "According to what you say, it is a contradiction: since the mountain is about to be closed by heavy snow and the price is soaring, why are there still so many tourists here?" It stands to reason that you should leave quickly so that you don't suffer sin. ”
The postman scoffed; "You're still a showman, why are you so lonely? On top of this golden roof, there will be a grand event soon, so the handsome people in the nearby states and counties are not afraid of the wind and snow, and they all rush here, so that there is such a situation today. Hey, we're just getting started! On the day of the official rally, there will only be more people. ”
Sleepless at night was about to ask what the event was and what day it would be held, but the postman had already been summoned by a gloomy postman, and had no time to answer his questions.
Chu Yan said disdainfully: "This post man, logically speaking, also eats public meals, why does he look so philistine?" The small guys in ordinary market shops are not as smooth as him. ”
Sleepless shook his head and said, "Who knows? After all, his temple is big, and he looks down on me and other 'little novices'! ”
Chu Yan covered his mouth and smiled: "What Gongzi said is extremely true. ”
Don't worry about such little people, wait for sleepless nights, go and check in. The allocation of the two rooms is one room for Sleepless Night and Xiao Ganyun, and one room for Jiang Pan and Chu Yan.
The two rooms are next to each other, and it is convenient to exchange news at night.
Yun Sheng was brought over by Chu Yan. This made Sleepless Night breathe a sigh of relief, after all, he is not very good at taking care of children.
In the ground room, there are three beds, which are very spacious, sleepless and Xiao Ganyun have one bed per person, and one bed can be vacated. He reluctantly thought that the price of the tael of silver was also worth it.
In the evening, I was thinking about whether to eat a bowl of noodles and sacrifice to the Five Organs Temple, when I suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Sleepless at night asked who it was, and the outsider replied: It was the postman who received him in the evening.
opened the door, the originally proud post man, with a consultative tone, bent down and said with a smile: "Hello Master Xiucai, I have something to tell you." There are two guests downstairs, because they came late, they didn't buy a room, and they don't have a place to stay tonight, so they asked me to discuss with you, and I want to ask you, can you allow the two of them to squeeze a room with the two of you? The two of them are willing to give you two taels of silver. ”
Sleepless at night said: "This is strange, there are so many guests in the Izumo Station, why does he want to come and squeeze a room with the two of us?" ”
