Chapter 52: The Giant Tortoise
The next day, Zhao Yuyu really decided to stay for a few more days and go to Dushan to see the maple leaves.
The names of Dushan, Crossing the River, and the names of the mountains and rivers are very interesting, and they are homophonic. Chen Xi asked Zhu He what was the reason, and Zhu He smiled and said that it was just a coincidence.
The road to Dushan, Zhu He obviously had already arranged it, but in the early morning, Ding Zhisheng actually led a team of sergeants early and waited outside, saying that he wanted to protect Her Royal Highness the princess, which made Zhu He's beautiful mood in the morning feel like he had eaten something, and he was extremely disgusting.
A team of people and horses, after grinding for more than an hour, finally set off, and the city lords of several nearby cities also came to accompany them, but these people, it seems that some of them have a good relationship with Ding Zhisheng.
It is always right to be an official in this land and have a good relationship with the military power in your hands.
Chen Xi didn't care, but among the sergeants brought by Ding Zhisheng, there was a young man with eyes like an eagle falcon, and he couldn't bear to bow his head when he looked at several city lords several times.
Chen Xi smiled, leaned over to Zhu He's side and asked, "Hey, Lord Zhu, who is that person?"
Zhu He turned his head to look around, then squinted his eyes, and snorted coldly: "Why is he here?" Son, that person is Jia Qu, the person who occupied Ding Zhisheng's wife back then. ”
"Oh?" Chen Xi seemed to be smiling, it seemed that Ding Zhisheng had a good relationship with this young man.
At the foot of Du Mountain, looking at the mountain, there is a red sea, the fiery red maple leaves, so that the scenery here is excellent, the foot of the mountain past, is to cross the river, the water surface is wide and calm.
Chen Xi noticed that there was an ancestral hall not far from the foot of the mountain, and people came and went, like the peak of incense.
Chen Xi glanced at Zhao Yuyu and blinked, Zhao Yuyu smiled and said, "What kind of ancestral hall is Lord Zhu's side, so many people are incense." ”
Zhu He replied: "It's just the holy spirit of the people nearby praying for good weather and safe sailing, and people making up the Holy Spirit, how can this kind of ancestral hall bother Her Royal Highness the princess to deign to go?"
Zhao Yuyu said: "My brother told me that if you want to understand one side, you must first understand the hearts of the people. ”
The group turned around and headed towards the ancestral hall.
Ding Zhisheng's team of sergeants, after hearing the news, immediately went to the ancestral hall and cleared out the people around him, Zhao Yuyu squinted slightly, and said softly: "Don't disturb the people too much." ”
Ding Zhisheng nodded and said: "Her Royal Highness the princess is benevolent, but those people will inevitably flock to see Her Royal Highness's honor, and it will inevitably be a little troublesome." ”
Zhao Yuyu nodded.
Not everyone entered the ancestral hall, but a few people accompanied them.
Chen Xi looked at the sculpture in the ancestral hall, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, the sculpture on the ancestral hall was leaning on the body, but on the humanoid body, the head of a turtle was carved, and there were two long beards, and the eyebrows were also long.
Chen Xi smiled and said, "Lord Zhu, the people under your jurisdiction worship this turtle spirit." ”
Ding Zhisheng sneered on the side: "Childe doesn't know, not only the people around here, but also Lord Zhu is also extremely faithful, before he arrives in Chongyang Mountaineering, he will come to incense by the way. ”
On the side, Zhu He's face was flushed with anger, but he couldn't speak.
Zhao Yuyu took three incense sticks and inserted them in the heyday of the incense burner, but she didn't worship.
Walking out of the ancestral hall, Zhao Yuyu beckoned gently, summoned a peasant woman on the side of the road, and asked, "The Holy Spirit of this ancestral hall can be effective." ”
The peasant woman was a little nervous and said: "I have seen Her Royal Highness the princess, this holy spirit is indeed effective, every time my husband gets off the ferry to work, I always come to a pillar of incense to bless my husband's safety, if it is a day of great drought, come to two pillars of incense, and keep the rain!"
Zhao Yuyu smiled, turned around and bowed to the ancestral hall three times, the woman was also in a slightly relaxed mood, folded her hands, and followed Zhao Yuyu to the ancestral hall three times, and the rest of the officials had no choice but to worship.
On Du Mountain, look down, you can see the extremely wide crossing river, the water flow is slow, the ferry comes and goes, it is not lively, there is a big boat on the water surface suddenly, above the sail, it is a big Jia word, it is the Jia family ferry, running salt and iron.
The cook brought by Zhu He was already preparing a fire on the side, and this time he was preparing lunch on Du Mountain, which had a different flavor.
Chen Xi looked at the maple leaves all over the mountain, and felt that he was in a good mood, and quietly released the little fire finch from the temple, the little fire finch came out, and the eyes were shining, and this time he came out of the temple, and he was obviously more agile.
It's just that the medicine spirit has been sleeping heavily for the past few days, and Chen Xi sometimes doesn't wake up when he shoots him.
After the little firebird came out, it heard Chen Xi's heart, and fluttered its wings and flew freely on the maple forest full of mountains.
Zhu He looked at the crossing of the river under the mountain, his expression was a little depressed for some reason, Chen Xi leaned over with a smile and said, "What does Lord Zhu think?"
Zhu He shook his head abruptly and said, "It's nothing!"
In a forest in the distance, Ding Zhisheng glared at a lazy young man in front of him and said, "Jia Qu, you'd better not brush some tricks, if you dare to do some tricks, the one surnamed Chen will pinch you to death." ”
Jia Qu sneered and said, "Ding Zhisheng, why are you still so timid now, how is Chen Xi?" It angered the Jia family, and made him disappear in Qicheng, so that people could not find a trace. ”
Ding Zhisheng sneered: "Yelang is arrogant, what kind of sect is Wangyunmen, even if Wangyunmen doesn't care and Chen Xi disappears in Qicheng, His Majesty today will be thunderous and angry, and when the time comes, ...... Hmph, and what kind of pearl is Zhao Yuyu, and what kind of pearl can you covet?"
Jia Qu laughed and said: "The surname is Ding, just give you some face, who do you think you are, if you don't have the support of my Jia family, how can you gain a firm foothold here, let alone Mingzhu?...... Isn't that fox also your former pearl?"
Ding Zhisheng's face turned pale.
Jia Qu continued to sneer: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, give Zhao Yuyu such courtesy, don't you still expect her to take a fancy to you and support you, Ding Zhisheng, let me remind you that if you want to get rid of our Jia family, what you have done together with our Jia family in the past few years is enough for you to lose your head many times." ”
Jia Qu patted Ding Zhisheng's shoulder, and his face turned into a smile: "Okay, let's go back, I still expect that Zhao Yuyu to be a beauty, in fact, it's just that, you see, even if you know that I used your future to threaten that fox Meier to sleep with me, don't you also cooperate with my Jia family well, do big things, how can you be involved in these small things." ”
Ding Zhisheng's chest rose and fell, and it was obvious that his anger had not been suppressed.
The two walked out of the forest and returned to the top of the mountain, but they didn't pay attention, and a small firefinch was tilting its head to look at them.
Zhu He noticed that Chen Xi's face was gradually becoming more and more colorful, and it seemed that he was thinking about something, Zhu He was slightly uncomfortable when he saw it, thinking to himself, this kid, sitting next to me, remembered his sweetheart.
Chen Xi raised his head and couldn't help asking, "By the way, Lord Zhu, is there a Yan family in Qicheng?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhu He's eyes lit up, thinking that this kid was really thinking about his sweetheart, "That Yan family is also doing some water transportation business, and their family has a daughter, who was lucky to enter Wangyun Gate, but the son is the same family." ”
Chen Xi nodded, that person was Yan Yi.
Zhu He looked at Chen Xi with frowns and said, "Don't worry, son, I will take care of the Yan family in the future." ”
Chen Xi looked at Zhu He's face, a little helpless, knowing that Zhu He wanted to be crooked, but he couldn't tell Zhu He anymore not to take care of them, so he had to say haha helplessly.
The next day, the team escorting Zhao Yuyu hit the road again, this time indeed on the boat along the river crossing dozens of miles, and then turned to the land.
On the boat are the entourage arranged by Zhu He, and after entering the next section of the road, these personnel will turn around.
So although Zhao Yuyu didn't have many entourages when he left Qingcheng, there were not many escorts who came and went along the way.
In the shipbuilding during the day, Zhao Yuyu seemed to have taken off a layer of skin, chattering around Chen Xi to ask questions, and Chen Xi was helpless.
However, Zhao Yuyu asked how those people in Qicheng were doing, and Chen Xi asked Zhao Yuyu how they looked at those people with a smile.
Zhao Yuyu said: "I don't know, I just don't know why I hate that Ding Zhisheng, so I'm a little glad that my sister didn't marry him back then." ”
Chen Xi said with a strange face: "To be honest, you sisters, this fate is ......"
Zhao Yuyu pouted: "Hey, can you get ...... out?"
Chen Xi coughed, a little weak-hearted, and really ran away.
After all, although her sister didn't get married that time and had nothing to do with Chen Xi, this time Zedong withdrew from the marriage, and Chen Xi was still slightly involved.
Looking at Chen Xi's back as he went out, Zhao Yuyu unconsciously felt a little annoyed in her heart, and secretly wrenched her skirt.
The night was slightly cool, the boat was quiet, most people fell asleep, except for a few vigilant people, Chen Xi sat at the stern, shaking his feet, because Chen Xi said that he came to watch the stern, so the vigilant people rarely came to the stern.
In the distance, a small boat, a woman, sitting in the bow of the boat, shaking her feet, and three other people on the boat, leaning against the wall of the boat, taking a small break.
Chen Xi shook his head, the remaining dragon qi and medicinal power in his body were almost consumed, and the last wisp of purple qi absorbed in Mocheng was left, it seemed that it was time to cultivate the purple qi east, thinking of the two purple pole fruits in the temple, Chen Xi's heart flashed with a ray of heat.
The shadow dragon body is to make Chen Xi's body strengthen and gain the power of the dragon body, and although the effect of the Shadow Dragon Body is similar to that of the Shadow Dragon Body, it is to lose the body in minutes to transform it into a powerful combat power, which is to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.
But with the blessing of the purple qi from the east, you can balance the idea of no delusion, and the purple qi from the east is an exercise that can instantly repair the body and make the body reach the best state, and Chen Xi also found that when the purple qi comes to the east to bless the eyes, he can see the essence of things clearly, so when he was in the suburbs, Chen Xi saw at a glance that the woman demon fox had transformed into a shape, and she also blinded her face.
At this moment, Chen Xi looked at the smoothly moving boat, smiled slightly in his heart, purple qi appeared in his eyes, and under the ferry, a giant turtle as big as a boat was protecting the smooth movement of the boat.
Chen Xi smiled and said softly, "Please show up." ”
The giant tortoise disappeared, and a young man in the stern of the boat was dressed in white, reflecting the bright moon in the distance, a folding fan, gently inciting, and the young man was like an immortal, standing in the stern.
The boat in the distance, the woman with her legs shaking, couldn't help but shout, "Boss!"
The three people in the boat opened their eyes instantly, and a man in a black robe looked into the distance with a secret method, and then ordered to speed up the ship!
