Chapter 6: Out of the City
About noon the next day, Luo Tangfeng woke up shockedly, the leftovers had already been cleaned up, but the wine in the altar still had a lingering fragrance. His head was dizzy, his stomach was suddenly nauseous, and he got up to look at the bronze jian next to the desk, but found that he looked very embarrassed. looked forward to it, but the shopkeeper was gone.
"Ahh
Luo Tangfeng was speechless, suddenly realized something, suddenly patted his chest, took it out and took it out, but found that the translation of Luoshu was intact.
"Where's the shopkeeper?" Luo Tangfeng asked, and also got up to wash.
"Alas, others are like this, they leave without saying a word, and they deserve to have no business on weekdays - he, he is a very good person, but he has fallen into an eye disease since he was a child, and he does not see much light, and I don't often open his eyes. Wang Chi replied, "But there are still a few good horses in his stable, and you and I will each take one and go out of the city today, how about it?"
Wang Chi washed it, breathed a long sigh of relief, refreshed, and learned that Luotang Feng would emanate and bundle up, which made him even more energetic.
"Take advantage of people's absence. You are really ...... heart" Luo Tang said, "I don't know ...... self-consciously"
"Ahem! Whoever asks him to leave won't say a word!" Wang Chi said with a smile, "You are all in this situation now, what kind of gentleman's way are you talking about there!" After finishing speaking, he pulled Luo Tangfeng's sleeve and ran out.
"Let's go!"
"Hey!wait!"
While pulling, Luo Tangfeng hurriedly put the money on the desk before leaving with peace of mind. After that, it was no problem to ride out of the city.
Because it was a tortuous path to walk, it was not time to go outside the city. During the journey, Wang Chi talked and laughed happily, until he was far away from Yijun City, but he turned over and dismounted, with a rare solemn expression, knelt down in the direction of Yijun City, bowed deeply, and muttered: "Farewell!"
After the salute, he turned over on the horse again, leaned back on the horse, crossed Erlang's legs, looked at the sky, thoughtful, and did not say a word.
"Don't pass the gift as three and five knocks, you ......" Luo Tang said.
"This is not a gift from another country, but a custom of my Bisang, kneeling and bowing to comfort the soul of the deceased. Wang Chi said, but he was a little stunned, and said to himself: "It's been seven years...... Old guy ......"
On the road, the yellow sand is long, the dust is abundant, the west wind is howling, and the sky is gloomy. The sun reflects the sea, and the lonely boat points to the yellow sky. Faintly visible in the little sunlight are barren hills, lonely people.
The forest in the distance is far away after all, and friends in another country are in another country after all.
Luo Tangfeng let out a long sigh, and finally decided to interrupt the young man's rare dullness: "What did you say before?"
Wang Chi woke up like a dream, got up and sat upright, and said, "Do you know the 'Nine Books of Heavenly Machines'?"
"The strange books handed down during the time of the Holy Emperor have reached the pinnacle in different aspects, and the translation of Luoshu is the first of the nine books of Tianji, so I naturally know ......" Luo Tangfeng replied.
"Having said that, do you know that there were only eight of the so-called nine books?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"I don't know?" Wang Chi said, "No wonder, after all, the Luo family is also a member of the imperial court, so there is no need to hide like us...... Heh......"
"Hope for clarity ......"
"Hmph, that's fine...... It's just a matter of living the world in time, and I can't blame you ......" Wang Chi said, "Tracing back to the roots, we have to start with the generation of the Holy Emperor......
Wang Chi paused, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"At the end of Qin, there was chaos, and the people were devastated. The throne of Fusu Gongzi was taken away, and in order to prevent future troubles, Hu Hai followed the words of the traitor Zhao Gao and gave him and General Meng Tian to death. Fortunately, earlier, Jun Fang Fangshi expected that Fusu Gongzi would have such a catastrophe, and told him how to come here, and after several twists and turns, he finally led the people to this place. In addition to Fusu, Meng Tian is the queen of the Eight Clans, that is, the successor of the 'Eight Books of Heavenly Machine'. Since then, the brothers Chen Sheng and Wu Guang have revolted, so that most of the people in the time of chaos have come here. ”
"Fusu's original intention was to recuperate and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, however, not everyone had the same consciousness as him. This so-called great harmony did not last long, and in less than ten years, wolf smoke was ignited in this pure land. For the sake of the common people in the world, Fusu deviated from his oath of never being in government, and thanks to the family of Meng Tian of the old department, he quickly quelled the chaos. The so-called Datong is just the wishful thinking of the sages, the world is peaceful, when the Ming government depends on each other, Fusu will establish 'Zhongzhou', in order to stabilize the overall situation of the world. ”
"Fusu Gongzi is strict in rewards and punishments, which is also the desire of the people, and Zhongzhou is becoming stronger and stronger. It can be regarded as achieving his long-cherished wish of being healthy and prosperous. However, the so-called peaceful and prosperous era only existed when Fusu was alive. After Fusu's death, in order to maintain the prosperity of his family, the former ministers of the imperial court did not follow Fusu's last wish to set up a virtuous person as a saint, and at the same time, in order to stabilize the situation, Fusu's youngest son was put on the throne for drive. Although Fusu had a back hand, he was not able to do so, and even the Mengshi family was implicated and was sent to the frontier, and his family fell into the middle. ”
"But these are all disputes in the imperial court, what do they have to do with my people in the rivers and lakes?" Luo Tangfeng asked.
"The people of the eight clans are all decent people, and they think of the old kindness of the son of Su, so naturally they can't sit idly by. But he never thought that the imperial court had already taken action, and even did not hesitate to use the power of the treacherous sect to greatly damage the vitality of the eight clans, and since then, the pursuit and killing have continued for more than ten years, with countless casualties! One clan was completely wiped out, one clan changed its clan and moved south, and the rest of the six clansmen were almost slaughtered. Fortunately, the chaos soon ended due to party disputes within the imperial court, and this history was also hidden by the imperial court. But at this point, the heirs of the 'Eight Books of Heavenly Machine' were single, and soon the rivers and lakes were in turmoil, and in order to ensure the inheritance, the Qin family, the Luo family, and the Ou family were attached to the imperial court from then on......"
Luo Tangfeng took a deep breath, thoughtfully, and continued to ask, "Then what is the 'Nine Books of Heavenly Machine'?"
"In the midst of the turmoil, a general secretary (the name of the official in the Peach Blossom Spring, the fourth division, in charge of historical records, that is, the historian) for the integrity of the official history, risked death to write the "Zhongzhou Tongjian" to disclose the crimes of Zhongzhou, entrusted someone to bring it out, and his whereabouts are unknown, and then he died generously. Because according to rumors, this book not only records the shamelessness of Zhongzhou's behavior, but also records an important secret about the Eight Tribes and Fusu. Since then, it has been called the 'Nine Books of Heavenly Machines' together with the Eight Books. ”
The sunlight pierced through the fog, making it even more hazy, as if it was hiding the desolation underneath. The flowers beside the horses' hooves are delicate, like blood blooming on the water, rippling and blooming. That long history came wearing gold armor, tigers and tigers, but under its golden armor, there were filthy bloodstains.
"After all, these are passed down by word of mouth from my Wang family, and there may be discrepancies, but they are generally not bad. Wang Chi said, pointing at himself, and then at Luo Tangfeng, "After being the same eight clans, you still have relatives and friends to worry about, but I'm afraid I'm already alone, isn't it ridiculous?"
Without waiting for Luo Tangfeng to answer, Wang Chi laughed wantonly, but he seemed to laugh with tears in his eyes: "You still have the reputation of a gentleman after being hunted down! And I, the first to mess with the evil son, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed! The same is wronged, is it not ridiculous?"
"Don't be ridiculous......," Luo Tang said, "Even if the catastrophe is gone, even if you are infamy, you are you, I am me, vigorous, full of life, to death, can have a clear conscience, let the song go, how is this ridiculous?"
"It's not natural disasters and man-made disasters that are ridiculous, but people who revel in their pain......" Luo Tang said in the wind, his eyes looking straight ahead.
"Heh......" Wang Chi came back to his senses, and then showed a relieved smile, "I don't need you to teach me a lesson......
"As I said, after all, I help you for my own selfish desires, so we don't need to die for each other, understand?" Wang Chi continued.
"Sit back and don't care?" Luo Tangfeng smiled knowingly, "I can't do it......"
"Heh, when will it be your turn to come to the rescue, take care of yourself, and don't cause me more trouble......" Wang Chi said with a smile.
The two were silent for a long time, as if they were reminiscing, as if they were melancholy.
"Then according to what you said, what kind of force is the Qin clan and the Ou clan?" Luo Tangfeng opened the topic first.
"Yueren Immortal Valley, Langquan Pavilion. Wang Chi said, "All are attached to the imperial court, except for the internal affairs of the sect, everything is subject to the dispatch of the imperial court." In addition, I heard that the Hundred Machine Gate that has recently emerged in Xiqi is also a means for the Eight Clans to lose one line......"
"Do you know the specific name of the Nine Books?"
"It is not widely circulated, except for the translation of the Luo book of your Luo family, the rest is unknown. Once the Nine Books reappear in the world, it will be even more bloody. ”
"What is the book of the Wang family?"
"Turn gas into the sea, the Great Immortal Pill ......" Wang Chi said, "Stop here, after all, it is a family heirloom, and I can't give it all ......"
The canopy will close, and the white light will be revealed. The earth swallowed up the red sun, snuffed out the day, and shed bleak blood. Wang Chi stared at the sunset and said, "Where do you want to go?"
"Zhiqu City - Ji Nan Mountain. Luo Tang said, "According to the family letter, there is an old friend of my father's there. ”
"Is it a false way?" Wang Chi said, sneering, "yes, it's indeed a good place to go......"
The evening breeze came in the east, the rain was approaching, and the sound of water was approaching, and the two seemed to have crossed the desolate desert.
"There are still ten miles in Zhiqu City. There is a shelter from the rain in front of you, so you might as well rest tonight. "Luotang Wind Duct.
The wind carries the fallen leaves, drifting like catkins, scattered like smoke and rain, and the rain brings pear blossoms, falling like glass, and shining like meteors. In the night sky, the sky is full of stars. In the mountains and forests, the faint light of fire. The two sat opposite each other, one tea and one wine, and leaned on half a peach blossom.
