Chapter Thirty-Eight: There Are Hexagrams in the Forest of Steles

Han Yuehuan and Zhang Xiao continued to walk to the depths of the stele forest in the mountain behind the Nengwu Temple, as they went farther and farther, the style of the stele along the way gradually changed, just like the old man said, the font on the stele also changed from Kai to line, line and became Li, Li and became seal, it seems that the older the later, the older it is, indicating that this is the temple built after the stele that was erected first.

The more you look back, the more carefully you look at the stele one by one, for fear of missing which one is engraved with birds and insects. But after reading all the monuments, I didn't find a similar figure. At the end of the stele forest is a bare rocky mountain, with only a few bushes and grasses growing at the base of the mountain. There is a clearing in front of the mountain, and there is a small house standing alone in the clearing with its back against the mountain, a bit like the mountain god land temple in the countryside. There was a lock hanging on the door that I don't know what year it was, Zhang Xiao pulled it in the past, the lock was rusty to death, and looked through the dusty and dilapidated window lattice, it was dark inside, it seemed to be an empty house, and the shadow was full of incense tables, I don't know what to offer.

The three of them were a little disappointed, and stood in the clearing and looked around, thinking about where to go next. Zhang Xiao seemed to have discovered something and muttered: "Strange." Huan Yi asked, "What's strange?" Zhang Xiao pointed to the last few rows of steles and said, "You see, we have traveled all the way, and it stands to reason that this should be the last row of steles, but the sunny side of these steles is facing this broken house." He looked back at the hut and said, "These are the first rows." Huan Yi and Han Yue listened to him, and also looked at it carefully, and sure enough, many rows of stone monuments in front of them were sunny side chong huts, and the stone tablets were arranged neatly according to the house. That's where it begins.

Zhang Xiao ran to the middle of the stele again, wanting to see where the stele started to rush, until he walked ten zhang away, he turned back and said: "The stele seal characters are all engraved on the yang side of the chong here." Starting from the official book, the sunny side of the stele is facing the direction of the temple. ”

Han Yue looked up at the surrounding rocky walls, which were abrupt and rugged, like a ghost axe carving. Suddenly, he lifted his breath and flew up, his body fluttering like a feather towards the stone wall. I saw that when he was about to reach the stone wall, he stretched out his hand to grab a protruding rock, stepped on a depression with one foot, stood sideways on the stone wall, and looked back at the stele forest. Huan Yi shouted "Be careful" below, he was worried that Han Yue's physical strength would not fully recover. Han Yue looked at it for a while, and then flew down, without a trace of dust under his feet. Immediately after he fell, he broke a stiffer branch, drew a few strokes on the ground, and then flew up again, and fell again, repeatedly. Huan Yi and Zhang Xiao didn't know what he was going to do, so they came over to see that there were a lot of horizontal lines drawn on the ground. Huan Yi blurted out: "Hexagram." ”

Han Yue finally threw down the branch, clapped his hands, and stared at the hexagram drawn on the ground. Zhang Xiao naturally couldn't understand it, he could only wait for the explanation of the two. Huan Yi took out the charcoal pen he carried and read it while copying the hexagram on the ground: "Heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, feng shui, water and heaven, heaven and earth, thunder mountain is too small... After copying and drawing, he silently read it again, and then said, "Strange, why are there only fifty-six?" He looked at Han Yue and said, "There are eight missing, and the order is also disorganized." ”

Han Yue stared at the hexagram on the ground, his face was solemn, Huan Yi knew that he had entered a state of contemplation, and he would not be able to hear others for a while. He made a color to Zhang Xiao, and the two continued to observe the stone tablets.

The two were guessing at the words on the stone tablet, and suddenly a soft voice came from behind them: "Go back." The voice was not loud, but it still startled the two people who were engrossed in reading the inscription, and suddenly looked back to see that Han Yue was already standing behind them at some point, Zhang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Big brother, can you come over in the future, don't be so silent at all." It's scary. Han Yue smiled apologetically. Huan Yi asked, "What did you find?" Han Yue nodded.

At this time, the sky has been twilight, the red sun without a little luster is lazily hanging on the top of the mountain, the twilight bell in the temple has sounded once, and the three of them stepped on the second bell and walked out of the stele forest.

Ji Nancheng is naturally not as good as Jingzhou City, there are only a few inns, and they chose a relatively clean and spacious one, and there happened to be a small cross-courtyard, so they simply covered it all. When dinner opened, Zhang Xiao and Huan Yi sat at the table and waited for a while but didn't see Han Yue, Zhang Xiao was hungry early, and couldn't help but call him, hearing a soft bell, Han Yue had already come in with a faint fragrance. But seeing that he had already bathed and changed his clothes at this time, his long black hair was scattered, and he only tied a ribbon at random to wipe his forehead, and he was wearing a wide robe of a new water pink robe that did not fit well, and the fat neckline exposed half of his white neck and shoulders and deep collarbones. is a beauty who "has a bandit gentleman, such as gold and tin, and gui and bi".

After he sat down, Huan Yi quietly kicked the charcoal stove in the house to Han Yue's side, and whispered, "Aren't you wearing socks again?" Zhang Xiao then moved his gaze from Han Yue's face to his feet, and sure enough, Han Yue's robe loomed under the corners of his two bare ankles, dragging a pair of bast shoes with mille-feuille soles. Zhang Xiao grinned and said: "Luo Chuanjun is really a beautiful son who is worthy of his reputation, he looks good in any clothes, and he looks good without wearing them." ”

"Eat silent!" Huan Yi kicked Zhang Xiao under the table, meaning that if you look at it again, I will be welcome. may have inherited the style of Ji Kang, whether it is as quiet as a virgin or moving like a bird, whether it is sitting upright or untidy, whether it is brocade clothes or plain clothes, Han Yue can always give people different surprises.

After eating, both of them followed behind Han Yue and followed him to the door of the bedroom, Han Yue flashed into the door, closed the two of them out of the door, and said in the house, "Sleep." Zhang Xiao thought that he would hear something to discover at night, but he was locked out. The two had to go back to their room.

That same night, in another inn not far away, in a suite on the second floor, the heat filled the whole room. There was a large wooden barrel in the room, and a man was soaking naked in it. Long silver hair was tied around the barrel. Dusty and tattered clothes were thrown on the floor, and a crumpled mask.

The man stood up from the water, his sleek and thin back, and a string of character tattoos stretched along his spine from the waist to the neck. This person was the man in blue who was fighting on the ninth floor of Jingxiang that day. He stood in front of a bronze mirror in the room, and in the flickering candlelight, he showed a more mysterious figure, with a thin waist, broad shoulders, long legs, and hips, and he admired and wiped it, warmly, carefully, as if he was rubbing a delicate jade.

He was immersed in the wonderful sense of touch, when he heard someone sigh softly, and the man instantly picked up the robe hanging on the shelf and wrapped himself in it. He said as he tied his belt, "Have you seen enough?" A person flashed out of the suite, his black robe covering his whole body, and he couldn't even see his face.

The voice of the man in black was dry, and he also had a Henan official voice: "I don't know from which generation the Xiahou family started, and they couldn't help but produce beautiful women, and they also began to produce beauties." ”

The man ignored the man's words, and still had a smile on his face: "Have they gone to the monks?"

The man in black said, "It doesn't seem to be yet." ”

"It's a heavy breath. ”

"I heard that the Jingzhou County Government is offering a reward for the capture of a silver-haired young man, saying that he killed the Xia family and made it into meat. ”

The silver-haired man chuckled lightly and said to the man in black, "If you have something to say, say it." ”

The man in black said: "The general has sent a message that the lord will be resurrected on July 15 next year." Order you to find the main cemetery and the Yin Soldier Talisman within three months. You've got to hurry. After the man in black finished speaking, he prepared to open the window and leave.

The man in black said in a hoarse voice: "Xiahou swears, I'm leaving." I'll come back to you when I want to eat meat. ”

The silver-haired man replied faintly to his disappearing back: "Cao Ti, let's take care of your living dead." ”
