Central Chapter 8 The Evil of the Ancients Comes

Ever since Xiahou Yi took Han Yue away, Huan Yi has been worried and uneasy

He wasn't worried that Xiahou Yi would do anything bad to Han Yue, but he was afraid that his decision would give Han Yue away to others. However, after these few months, Huan Yi also knew that Han Yue just regarded himself as a good brother and had no other feelings. It's that Xiahou Yi, although he hasn't known him for a long time and his origin is unknown, every time he sees him, he will have a sense of trust. Since he decided to hand over Han Yue to him, he could only pray for a way to cure him. But what are the four of them going to do next? What about three months?

Mengzi said: "Why don't we go to Dian Wei's hometown Jiwu again, it happens to be in the territory of Chenliu, maybe we can find something." "The crowd thought it would work.

"Chenliu, Jiwu City, was originally an ancient city of Qin, and a county was built after the Han and Wei dynasties. With the land of projectiles, it has been experiencing the smoke of history. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was the Battle of Zheng and Song Dynasty, where the Warring States "first stopped the alliance", and the vassal states of Qi, Song, Lu, and Zheng formed a bloody alliance here; and in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao also raised troops here and raised the banner of "loyalty and righteousness" for the first time. Huan Yi stood in front of the Jiwu County Monument, reading slowly, and when he read that Cao Cao had raised troops here, he paused.

"The ancient city of Jiwu was subordinate to the Song State in ancient times, mixed with the land of Chen and Chu, and the Liang State was renamed the Dragon Township. Huan Yi continued reading.

Jiwu County is also related to the Chu State, and it seems that to find out the Yin Soldier Talisman, Jing Chu is an important link. Qin, Chu, and Wei, what is the relationship between these three?

"Liang Guoshi changed its name to Chonglong Township. He saw that there was another line of writing under the monument. Who is the dragon and who is me? Huan Yi muttered like a tongue twister.

A group of four people walked on the streets of Jiwu County, although it was as rare as Chenliu Capital City during the day, but the scene was completely incomparable with Chenliu Capital City. Chen Liudu City is everywhere he goes: "There are high pavilions in the north and south, the door steps are threefold, the sparse knotted Qi window, and there are string songs." ”

And here is indeed a different scene: "The old path loses the Zhu Gate, the empty courtyard is cold and dusty, the ancient wood is deserted, and the ancestral hall is rarely soulful." Huan Yi couldn't help but sigh.

A few people walked a few streets, and the more they walked, the more desolate they became, and before they knew it, they had come to the northwest corner of the county seat, where there was a Gübelin, and there was a path in the forest that had been stepped out. As they walked down the path into Berlin, they saw a majestic temple standing in front of them.

This temple is not big, only one into the courtyard, in the middle is the main hall, next to each row of ear rooms. There are two big trees planted in the courtyard, the left is the Ping Zhong Jun, the right is the pine Zi Gudu, each tree has a person to hug the thickness, the branches are luxuriant, in the late autumn season, one yellow and one green cover each other, it is very good-looking.

The architectural appearance of the temple is not different from the temple, there is no bell and drum tower in the courtyard, but it is like the Guan Gong Ancestral Hall, there is no one else around, but the inside and outside of the temple are clean and tidy, and the cigarette smoke is filled, it seems that there are people to worship all the year round.

The main hall is hung with a plaque with black characters on a white background, and there are four vigorous official books on it: "The evil of the ancients comes", and the word Mengde is mentioned in the final payment. On the doorposts on the left and right sides hang a couplet: "After Chen left the figures, there is only hidden cultivation and slaughter." ”

Huan Yi patted the big shadow bone fan in his hand and said, "It seems that this is the place, Dian Wei Temple." ”

"Where is it written?" asked the gully, looking around.

"The evil of the ancients came, this is Cao Cao's evaluation of Dian Wei back then. Evil is a fierce general under the tent of the king, with infinite strength, brave and good at fighting. "Mozi" once wrote: A person with courage and strength catches tigers alive and kills people with finger paintings. Originally, he was a vicious person, but he was loyal to the king. So when Cao Cao saw Dian Wei, he said that he was an ancient evil. In fact, Dian Wei did not live up to these four words, he was loyal to Cao Cao, bravely crowned the three armies, and savior. After his death, he was named the Marquis of Guan Nei by Cao Cao, and Guan Yu was only a Pavilion Marquis. It can be seen how much Cao Cao loves this person. ”

"I see. No wonder he personally erected a plaque for his ancestral hall. All three nodded.

"This boy is right. "At some point, an old man with a dignified face appeared in the courtyard. Huan Yi hurriedly saluted.

"Listening to the childe's accent, it's not a Chen Liu. I don't know what this wilderness is?"

"The old man guessed well, I am a businessman from a foreign country, I have nothing to do in Pangeng in Chenliucheng for a few days, I heard that the Dian Wei Temple is here, I want to come and see. ”

"It is indeed rare to come here to worship the Wei Temple. The old man looked at the four people, one was handsome, one was burly and mighty, one was thin and capable, and the other was enchanting and charming.

"Old man, this place is so neatly cleaned, are you a temple watchman?" asked Huan Yi.

"There are no people who look at the shrine, they are all people who watch the shrine. As he spoke, the old man picked up the broom standing at the base of the wall and swept up the new leaves.

"A good person who has no ancestral hall is a temple watcher. It seems that my people have great respect for this general. ”

"By the way, old man, the last time we went to Dian Wei's village, it was already deserted, and I heard that it was slaughtered overnight decades ago. Does the old man know about this?" Mengzi suddenly remembered that he and Yanzi had gone to Dian Wei's village to inquire about before, and asked the old man.

When the old man heard Mengzi talk about Tu Village, a cold light flashed in his eyes, his hand stopped, and he immediately continued to sweep the ground as if nothing had happened, and replied, "I don't know." This momentary change did not escape the eyes of the four people, and they looked at each other: "This old man must know something." ”

"The old man doesn't know. Then we're in trouble. After running so far, I just want someone who knows how to help us see the wordless bamboo slips. Mengzi deliberately threw out the wordless bamboo slips found in the tomb of Dian Wei. Sure enough, the old man continued to sweep the floor as if he hadn't heard, and there were not a few fallen leaves, but at this time he swept back and forth. It stands to reason that when he hears Huan Yi talk about the allusions of the evil of the ancients, he will interject, but he ignores Tu Cun and the wordless bamboo slips, showing no interest, and can only say that he is deliberately avoiding these two topics.

The gully deliberately said: "I said that I must run for nothing." We might as well go to Luoyang and have a look, maybe we can sell it for a good price. With that, he pulled Yumeko and walked out.

Huan Yi was still a little reluctant to say, "Since you're here, why don't we go in and pay our respects?" Mengzi and Yazi are in the courtyard, Huan Yi and Yako are in the main hall, see which one you old man is staring at.

However, as soon as Huan Yi and Yazi stepped into the main hall, a large net fell from the sky, and Yazi wanted to jump out of the net, but Huan Yi grabbed him and whispered, "Let them catch them." Miko immediately understood, pretending to be panicked and struggling. And on this side of the courtyard, Mengzi and Gully were also surrounded by five or six big men on Hula Wai. The old man had already thrown the broom at this time, pointed at the four and shouted, "Catch them for me." Where can they catch it, and in a few rounds, the two of them forced everyone back and flew onto the roof.

Huan Yi and Miko tied their hands behind their backs, covered their heads with a black cloth, and stuffed cloth in their mouths, and were escorted to a carriage by pushing and shoving. In addition to the two of him, there were two other people in the carriage who gasped. The carriage first walked through a section of stone road, thinking that it was the section of the road that entered the Dianwei Temple, and then turned onto the flat road, and made a total of six turns on the road, four left and two right. Then there was a dirt road, then a long bumpy road, as if going up, and then another downhill and another while the carriage stopped. Huan Yi and Miko secretly moved their lips along the way, counting in their hearts, recording the time of each change in the carriage. Miko quietly leaned back on the carriage, her fingers barbed a thorn from the sleeve, and then quietly groped her way into the gap at the bottom of the carriage. The cone is empty in the middle, and it contains colored powder. At each fork or corner, he let the cone leak some powder as a marker.

The carriage finally stopped. The two were pulled out of the carriage and pushed into a room, where they were tied back to back to a pillar, followed by the sound of chains and locks. The two sat on the ground and sniffed a mixture of hay and horse manure, which should not be far from the stable. These people are ruthless enough, and they still don't say that they pull down their masks, and take out the cloth in their mouths to let them breathe.

Miko gently tapped the pillar with her fingers a few times, tuk tuk, meaning to ask Huan Yi "can't solve it", and Huan Yi's fingers also responded a few times "wait". After waiting for about half an hour, no one came, and it seemed that these people were not in a hurry to interrogate them. Miko's wrists began to twist, bone shrinking! After a while, the tied hands were loosened, and after the hands were out of the rope, he pulled off the black cover on his head, then pulled out the cloth stuffed in his mouth, gasped a few times, uncovered the rope on his feet, and tied Huan Yi to untie it.

The two looked around the house, like a utility room, and opened the window to look out, there were indeed more than a dozen horses tied to the courtyard outside, and there were two carriages parked, it seemed that there were a lot of people here. Yumeko and Gully don't know if they're keeping up.

When it was dark, there was a noisy sound of people and horses' hooves, and the two of them hid in the crack of the window and looked out, and several torches had been raised in the courtyard, and seven or eight more people walked into the courtyard. The old man who had captured them during the day walked up quickly, and with a respectful look, he pointed to Guan Huan Yi and Mizi's house, and heard him say: "Two were caught, two were run, and the people were locked up there." They said they had unwritten bamboo slips in their hands. Do you want to force them to hand it over?" Xiahou Yi glanced at Guan and said, "No need, the wordless bamboo slips are of little use to us. So saying, he went into the courtyard. Huan Yi was very surprised, who are these people, how did Xiahou Yi appear here, are they a group of people?

No one paid any attention to them for the rest of the night, and the next day before dawn they heard someone open the door, and the two hurriedly pretended to be still tied. They were loaded into carriages again, and when they entered the county seat of Jiwu, they were thrown into a small street in the middle of nowhere.
