On the side of the road below the slope of Yizhuang Mountain, Sun Lao Er stood there early and waited.

From a distance, he was a little surprised to see Ye Feng and them riding a high-headed horse, and following a carriage full of supplies.

When Ye Feng and the others arrived and greeted him, he rolled his eyes strangely, and said a little sarcastically: "It seems that Ye Gongzi, you don't look like you're going to the tomb, but like you're going to go on a picnic and camp, and have a good time!"

Ye Feng knew that this old man had a strange temper, and he didn't care about his cynicism, but just smiled lightly.

Zhang Fatzi behind him couldn't help but ask at this time: "Old man Sun, didn't you say that you have some strange friends?

Sun Lao Er glanced at him and snorted coldly: "Are you blind?"

Only then did everyone notice that there was an old man sitting in the waist-high grass beside the road.

This old man's gray hair, a handful of goatee, and the most conspicuous thing is the red rosacea nose on his face.

Sun Lao Er walked over, snatched the wine gourd, and said, "Okay, let's drink a few sips, it's not easy for my old man to make this good wine, don't be ruined by you." ”

The old man with the goatee stood up reluctantly, muttering as if complaining about Sun Laoer's stinginess, and slowly walked over with a loud wine burp, and he smelled a pungent smell of wine from his body from a distance.

Everyone couldn't help frowning when they saw that the old man was unkempt, wearing a dirty and torn wide gray robe, and he hadn't been changed for a long time, and many places had turned black, shining like a rag, and sloppy.

Zhang Fatzi asked Sun Lao Er without nonsense: "This old drunkard is the strange man in your mouth? Except that he is dirtier than us, I really can't see where he is strange?"

Sun Lao Er didn't pay attention to him at all.

The old man with the goatee listened, but he was a little unhappy, and walked straight to Zhang Fatman, staring at Zhang Fat Man without speaking.

Zhang Fatzi didn't know what he was looking at, and he felt a little hairy when he was seen.

At this time, the old man with the goatee suddenly shook his head and said: "It has grown like this, fatter than a pig, and he dares to eat braised pork, but I am afraid that fat will not kill you." ”

The people on the side heard the headless words in a fog and couldn't figure out.

Not long after Zhang Fatzi woke up from a coma, Miss Cheng said that he needs to recuperate now, and his diet should be lighter, so what he has given to Zhang Fatzi in the past two days are some porridge and steamed buns, and they are not stained with meat, where is there any braised pork?

Could it be that this old man drank too much and was talking nonsense?

Only Zhang Fatzi was taken aback.

He himself knew that the porridge and steamed buns in the past two days did not have a little oil and water, and he ate it with a sour stomach and a sour stomach.

In the morning, when everyone was not paying attention, he sneaked into the kitchen of the inn alone, and saw a bowl of leftover braised pork.

But this matter is absolutely only known to him, and no one else has seen it, how did this weird and smelly old drunkard in front of him know?

The old drunkard looked at him with a surprised expression, hey

He smiled, pointed to his red rosacea nose and muttered, "Don't be surprised, my old drunkard naturally smells it by this precious nose." ”

Zhang Fatzi was even more surprised, it was a few hours ago when he stole braised pork, and he also had a lunch in the middle, so that he could smell it, could it be that this person had a dog nose?

Looking at Zhang Fatzi's reaction, everyone naturally knew that what this old drunkard said was true, and they were also surprised and inexplicable, Ye Feng couldn't help but ask Sun Lao Er: "Who is this senior, and what is he called?"

Sun Lao Er didn't reply, but replied lightly: "This old drunkard." His surname is Mei, moral virtue, and moderation. ”

Medyong?

Zhang Fatzi suddenly felt funny: "It's useless? Did your old man give you a name when he was drunk? It's useless to have a son?"

The old drunkard seemed to be a little angry, touched his red rosacea nose, did not speak, turned his head and jumped straight into the carriage pulling the goods, lay straight on it, closed his eyes and began to sleep.

Sun Lao Er sneered and said, "It's useless, he's much more useful than those who have a noble name, you'll know later." ”

Hearing this name, Tang Da was stunned for a moment, and only then asked: "Mei Deyong?

Sun Lao Er smiled and said, "Finally, there are still people who have some knowledge, which is more useful than those who can only eat braised pork and fat like pigs." ”

Zhang Fatzi couldn't help but be angry when he heard this, but it was not easy to attack, so he could only snort and say nothing.

Ye Feng had never heard of this sentence, and couldn't help but turn his head to Tang Da and ask softly, "What does it mean to fly snow in the north and stand proudly in Shuangmei?"

Tang Da said: "This sentence is about the famous families in the three rivers and lakes outside the Guanwai a hundred years ago. Saibei Feixue refers to the Feixue Divine Sword that was once famous in the Central Plains and later moved to seclusion outside the Guanwai, and this proud Shuangmei refers to the two families surnamed Mei. ”

This Flying Snow Divine Sword Ye Feng had also heard of it, it was said that a hundred years ago, it once shook the rivers and lakes, and it was almost elected as the throne of the Martial Arts Alliance. It's a pity that for some reason he suddenly disappeared and never appeared in the rivers and lakes again, and it was rumored that he went to live in seclusion outside the gates.

However, Ye Feng had never heard of these two families surnamed Mei, but since they could be as famous as the Flying Snow Divine Sword, they must also have some skills.

In the face of Ye Feng's inquiry, Tang Da only shook his head and said: "The time is long, and I don't know the specifics, but I have seen some secrets recorded in the Tang Sect, saying that the ancestors of these two families were originally a pair of brothers, but because of the dislike, they turned against each other, and they set up their own doors, and they did not get along with each other. ”

"Both families have their own skills, but no one knows what they are. I just heard Senior Sun say that this person's surname is Mei, and he is a strange person, so I dared to guess it, but I didn't expect it to be true. ”

Since he is a strange person, he must have a unique skill, and Ye Feng's heart feels a little settled.

Zhang Fatzi on the side listened to Tang Da's words, but he snorted a little disapprehantly: "What a strange person, what a stunt, it's just a dog's nose, what's the use?"

Ye Feng knew that he was ridiculed by the two old men, and he was unhappy, so he didn't care about him at the moment, smiled slightly, and beckoned everyone to go.

A group of people

He slowly walked forward again.

As the carriage behind swayed, there was a faint snoring of the old man like thunder.

Ye Feng couldn't help but smile, the strange man's behavior was really strange.

This old man Mei didn't speak all the way, just slept on the carriage, as if he hadn't slept for a long time and couldn't wake up at all.

When he arrived at Zhendian to rest, he would jump out of the carriage, and in addition to eating, he would drink three full pots of wine. After eating and drinking, he went back to the carriage and lay down on his head, as if nothing else in the world could be put on his mind except drinking and sleeping.

Ye Feng didn't mind his strange behavior, he just smiled silently.

However, Zhang Fatzi was a little unhappy, muttering behind his back, what kind of wine bags and rice bags, and strange words such as sleeping when he was full, and he was also angry with Sun Lao Er.

It can be seen that he is still very concerned about the ridicule of these two old men about him, saying that he looks like a pig.

Sun Lao Er also seemed to be silent along the way, except for leading the way in front, he rarely talked to others, and he always looked thoughtful with his head down.

Ye Feng didn't dare to disturb him easily, but the ancestors of the old Sun family in Guanzhong have been Tufuzi for generations, and they have excavated countless legendary tombs and imperial tombs, and now in the face of this Qin Emperor Mausoleum, Sun Lao Er behaved so solemnly, looking preoccupied, and it was enough to see the danger of this Qin Emperor Mausoleum.

This way hurried and hurried, and two days later, Ye Feng and his party finally saw Lishan from a distance.

Lishan is a lonely mountain located in the fault zone washed out by the Wei River, there are two ridges in the east and west, the mountains are long, the trees are lush, and it looks like a pale horse from a distance. The scenery on the mountain is green and beautiful, just like the splendid general, so it is also called "embroidered ridge".

There is a hot spring on Lishan Mountain, and it is said that it was the place where the emperor was lucky in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it was called "Xingchen Soup" at that time.

It is recorded in the "Three Qin Records": "At the beginning of the first emperor, the stone masonry started the Yu, the famous Lishan soup, and the Han Wu added decoration. "When Emperor Wen of Sui, began to build a house on the mountain, to the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the first to see the scale, Tang Taizong Zhenguan 18 years, the edict of the left guard general Jiang Xingben and the general as a master craftsman Yan Lide, in the Lishan to build a palace pavilion, given the name "Tangquan Palace".

In the second year of Tang Gaozong's Xianheng, it was renamed "Hot Spring Palace". In the sixth year of Tang Xuanzong Tianbao, it was renamed "Huaqing Palace" again, because it was on Lishan Mountain, it was also called "Li Palace".

Bai Juyi, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a poem "Li Palace Gao": "There is a palace on the high Li Mountain, and the purple hall of the Zhu Building is three or four times. ”

In the late Tang Dynasty, Xuanzong favored the noble concubine Yang Yuhuan, lingered in the Huaqing Palace all the year round, and abandoned political affairs, resulting in the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, and the Tang Dynasty rapidly declined.

Later emperors are ominous, since Tang Xuanzong, the later emperors gradually no longer have to visit the Huaqing Palace, the once prosperous scene has gradually decayed and broken.

In the Later Jin Dynasty Gaozu Tianfu years, the already tattered Huaqing Palace was renamed Lingquan Temple and given to Taoist priests. In the Song and Yuan dynasties, it has been very dilapidated here, and only some ruins are left for future generations to hang on, thinking about the prosperous scenery of Huaqing Palace when the Tang Dynasty was in its heyday.

And at this moment, Ye Feng and the others looked at it from afar, the high Li Mountain had long since ceased to be hidden by the trees in Bai Juyi's poem, and the palace was showing a prosperous scene overlapping, which looked like people couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
