With three glasses of wine in his stomach, Rao is Chen Ming's Xuanting Sutra was irrigated at night, and he couldn't bear it for a while. So much so that how he ended this drinking game, how he said goodbye to Song Zhongkai, how he got on horseback and galloped all the way away, his mind was pure paste, and he couldn't remember it clearly.

I just vaguely remember that it seemed that the old man in the short shirt had come downstairs and carried himself straight out of the door.

After that, there was a mess of blackness, and a feeling of bumps up and down.

When Chen Mingye woke up again, it was close to noon. The sun was shining brightly, and the horse under him was tossed and turned, stirring his stomach into chaos.

Chen Mingye looked up, but it was the old man who took him on a horse, and on the other side, Xiaohong actually rode a horse alone, looking quite excited.

"Senior, where are we?" he got up, his head still a little dazed.

The old man glanced at him: "How dare you drink like that when the wine is so bad?"

Chen Mingye scratched his head and smiled.

"It's almost out of Jingzhou. "The old man doesn't have a good air.

"So fast. Chen Mingye was slightly startled.

"Hehe, little junior brother, are you awake!" On the other side, Xiaohong saw him wake up, and waved at him very happily, with a smug feeling that could not be hidden between her eyebrows.

"Senior, are you really relieved that she rides a horse alone?" Chen Mingye said helplessly.

"Hmph," the old man snorted coldly, "Why, her level is no worse than yours." ”

Chen Mingye sighed, gave up the idea of continuing to communicate with the old man, and easily landed on the back of Xiaohong's horse on the side with a light jump.

"Scared, little junior brother, why are you here?" Xiaohong seemed to be startled.

"Who allowed you to ride a horse alone?" Chen Mingye stretched out his hand to hold the reins and looked at the little girl in front of him.

Xiaohong stuck out her tongue: "The old man said yes, we are also here to hurry up." ”

Chen Mingye glanced at the old man beside him, and simply chose to shut up.

The north bank of the Nanjiang River went north, and according to the route plan, they had to pass through Yuzhou, and in front of them was Sizhou.

Since Haoming unified the world, the world was divided into thirteen states, the land of Southern Chu is Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, Chengshu is Yizhou, Dongwu is Yangzhou, Lihan is Yongzhou and Liangzhou, Beiliang is Beizhou and Youzhou, Haoming has Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou, Xuzhou and Sizhou, the south is mostly Dazhou, and the Central Plains is clearly divided.

Originally, Sishu was not a separate prefecture, but it was only the division and unification of the seven prefectures near Kyoto that made it easy to manage.

Although Yuzhou is small in area and ranks last among the thirteen states in the whole, it has always been the densely populated place in the Central Plains, and in terms of population alone, it is enough to rank among the top five.

Xiaohong looked at Chen Mingye carefully with wide eyes all the way, and seemed to still have a lot of curiosity about the scene that happened in the inn.

Chen Mingye knew what the little girl was thinking when he saw her expression, reached out and touched her head and said with a smile: "Yuzhou can be regarded as an extremely rich land in the Central Plains, you will definitely be able to see many good things." ”

The little girl's eyes immediately lit up when she heard this.

The old man smiled on the side: "You kid is not good at anything else, but your skills in deceiving the little girl are not bad." ”

Chen Mingye was a little helpless, and always felt that this senior had always spoken a little impulsively since he got drunk on the Nanjiang River.

"Is there any place you want to go, senior?" asked Chen Mingye casually.

"What, can you still accompany me to wander around?" the old man glanced at him, still not angry.

Chen Mingye thought for a while and said: "Although I don't know why my predecessors are willing to accompany me all the way, I have indeed received a lot of care from my seniors along the way, and the kid remembers it in his heart." It's only mid-October, and it's still some time before the birthday ceremony of Dongyue, and if the seniors have a place they want to go along the way, they can indeed go. ”

The old man narrowed his old eyes slightly and looked at him, pouting: "Why do you say that you want to drive me, the old man, away?"

"The seniors misunderstood," Chen Mingye said helplessly, "The juniors just have feelings, and there is no false meaning." ”

"Hey, it's okay," the old man suddenly smiled, "why don't you stop by and take a look at Funiu Mountain." ”

"Funiu Mountain?" Chen Mingye was slightly stunned when he heard this name, and felt that it seemed to be a little familiar.

"Do you know that Yuzhou City has broken tens of thousands of Qiang enemies here to ensure the stability of the Central Plains, so that there will be the prosperous era of the Great Qin. The old man glanced at him and said.

"It turned out to be this Funiu Mountain. As soon as the old man said this, Chen Mingye suddenly had an impression.

According to historical records, the Qiang enemy in the Western Regions once had a short and glorious empire, and after unifying the Western Regions, it was even more intended to get involved in the Central Plains. The great general, known as one of the two walls of the Great Qin, fought to the death in a great battle, and the remaining remnants of the army, under the leadership of the deputy general Wang Chao, carried out an ambush on Funiu Mountain that shocked future generations.

"Set up an ambush in the retreat, take advantage of the psychology of the Qiang enemy's arrogant soldiers, and attack with a disparity of nearly five times, breaking tens of thousands of enemies in one battle, and defeating the enemy's heart in one battle, which can be described as brave and strategic. Chen Mingye recalled it and sighed.

"A bunch of nonsense, not to mention the most important thing, if it weren't for the special terrain of Funiu Mountain, he wouldn't have been able to win that battle even if he had great ability," the old man pouted.

Chen Mingye smiled: "What the predecessors said is that the Funiu Valley is a typical trumpet-mouth terrain, and Wang Chao attacks from top to bottom with surprise soldiers, cutting off its head and tail, and the Qiang enemy is in chaos, so he can win." ”

Xiaohong suddenly interjected: "Little junior brother, do you know what is delicious in that Funiu Mountain?"

"I really know a little bit about this," Chen Mingye stretched out his hand and pinched the little girl's face, and said, "Funiu Mountain is most famous for its spicy soup, stewed meat and spicy soup, and the meat is rotten and fresh, which can be described as spicy and spicy, with an endless aftertaste." ”

The old man answered: "Also, what about Yuzhou sweet potato vermicelli, can you not say it?" There are also Chuanzi stewed vegetables, fire sandwich cold noodles, and royal stewed ......."

Little Red's eyes sparkled brighter and brighter.

Chen Mingye turned his head to look at the old man, thinking of something thoughtfully.

"What do you want to say, stinky boy?" the old man asked, noticing his gaze and reaching out and plucking his ear.

"Seniors seem to be quite familiar with this place?" Chen Mingye asked tentatively.

"Hmph, say whatever you want. Lao Dao was quite impatient, "Grinding, why don't you clamp your legs tighter and be a little daughter-in-law." ”

"......," Chen Mingye coughed lightly, "Actually, the younger generation has always been quite curious about the identity of the senior. ”

"Nonsense," the old man glared at him, "and you kid has never been honest about your identity." ”

Chen Mingye scratched his head: "The younger generation really has some unavoidable hardships. ”

"Come on, I can guess if you don't say it," the old man said angrily, "Don't worry, I'm really not interested in you stinky boys, when you pay off the few jugs of wine you owe me." ”

"If the seniors say so, I'm afraid the juniors will drag down even if they are cheeky. Chen Mingye said with a smile.

"Do you think you don't have thick skin?" the old man pursed his lips, turned to Xiaohong but looked happy, "Little girl, did you say?"

Xiaohong tilted her head and thought about it, and said, "Yes, you really should be cheeky." ”

The corners of the old man's mouth twitched slightly: "Sure enough, it is a senior brother and sister, it seems that your master is also a not simple talent." ”

"Grandpa, you're not right," Xiaohong shook her head, "Xiaohong is the senior sister, you should say the senior sister and brother." ”

The old man glanced at the little girl, simply turned his head, closed his eyes and went to recuperate.

Chen Mingye suppressed a smile and said to Xiaohong: "Xiaohong, what I said to my predecessors just now, do you want to eat it?"

"Think about it!" Red nodded repeatedly.

Chen Mingye raised his whip and patted it: "Then let's hurry up and meet Xiaohong's wishes." ”

"Yay!"

Funiu Mountain is actually the only peak near the entire Yuzhou City, and it is particularly prominent in the Central Plains where most of the terrain belongs to the plains.

Due to the old man's proposal, Chen Mingye and his entourage deliberately bypassed Yuzhou and did not enter the city, but rushed directly to Funiu Mountain in the east of Yuzhou City.

Funiu Mountain is quite magnificent from afar, the east and west are about dozens of miles longitudinally and horizontally, the winding streams are criss-crossed and intertwined, the layers shade the mountain, the pines and cypresses are luxuriant, but it is a pleasant scenery.

Although it is late autumn, the pedestrians on Funiu Mountain are still weaving, looking at it from a distance, the long mountain road is mixed with the red maple of the mountain, and the pedestrians seem to have entered a fiery red world during their walking.

Chen Mingye saw a large number of people, so he couldn't help but slow down, rode with the old man, and slowly moved forward.

"It's strange, when did this Funiu Mountain become so lively?" the old man muttered as he seemed a little puzzled.

"Seniors, don't you know that the Yuexia Fairy held a sect here decades ago?" Chen Mingye said with a smile and talked eloquently, "This used to be a big regret for the entire rivers and lakes. ”

The old man was stunned.

Chen Ming was slightly frightened at night, this was once a major event that caused a sensation in the entire Haoming rivers and lakes, but he didn't expect this old-timer to really know. But after thinking about it, he also understood that the old man had threatened to be at the bottom of the lake for decades, and it was reasonable not to know about it.

Xiaohong looked at the old man with a wink, as if she was slightly puzzled.

Chen Mingye continued: "The seniors don't know, but the younger generations can talk about it, in fact, this Yuexia Fairy is a famous beauty on the Jianghu Rouge List that year, and more importantly, she is also a master on the martial arts evaluation list. It's a pity that the strange thing is that the Yuexia fairy never married, and she quietly retired soon after becoming famous, until she passed away for many years before it was discovered that this fairy was hidden in the deserted Funiu Mountain at that time. ”

"She's dead?" the old man's voice seemed to tremble slightly.

Chen Mingye finally noticed the abnormality in the old man's voice, turned his head, and only then did he notice the old man's distraction.

"Senior?" he couldn't help but shout.

"She's dead?" repeated the old man, his eyes full of disbelief, "how could she, how could she be dead?"

"Do you mean Fairy Yuexia? She has been dead for many years, don't your predecessors know her?" Chen Mingye said with some incomprehension.

The old man looked up to the sky and laughed, and the pines and cypresses all over Funiu Mountain seemed to swing at this moment.

"She's dead, she's dead, she's dead......" he continued, laughing loudly, but with a clear look of haste that was hiding something.

"Senior?" Chen Mingye was full of surprise, this was the first time he had seen him in such an abnormal state since he had known the old man.

Xiaohong suddenly reached out and pulled Chen Mingye's sleeve, Chen Mingye looked down, but saw the little girl making a silent gesture at him.

Chen Mingye sighed and silently looked at the bearded old man beside him.

The old man suddenly stretched out his hand and gently gestured towards the distant mountain, and in an instant, the red maples in the mountains seemed to start dancing, and the red glow of the mountains was reflected on the already old face, and there was a faint kind of indescribable pathos. And from the top of the mountain, it seemed that something suddenly jumped out and flew towards this side.

Passers-by along the way also turned their eyes to this side for a while, looking at the unknown thing flying from the sky with some horror.

The old man stretched out his hand, looked at the flying object with a gloomy gaze, grasped the object with his palm, and held it tightly in his hand.

Everyone's eyes converged on the old man's hand again.

Chen Mingye also looked over involuntarily, but saw that the old man's palm was slowly unfolding, and in the palm of his hand, there was a pale gold crescent moon earring.

"So it's you......" The old man groaned hoarsely, unable to laugh again. He stared blankly at the small earring lying quietly in his palm, and his body froze there, not moving.

No matter how proud he is, how sad he is, that person, he will never see him again.

Between heaven and earth, there is a faint gathering of wind and thunder.

Chen Mingye suddenly felt that this scene was somewhat familiar, he frowned, and finally remembered.

In front of Anshun City, the towering and upright figure, facing the charging formation of thousands of horsemen, also smiled faintly and took charge of the wind and clouds.

Grandmaster, he finally remembered the name that had been rumored in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and it seemed that even the battle between Nie Yun and the swordsman on the river had not tried his best to reach this point.

Martial arts master, after all, there are very few people who have stepped into this realm, and it was only a moment when he was in charge of the wind and thunder, but at that moment, he was worthy of the words "invincible in the world".

The old man was only a momentum at the moment, but he shook the land within a radius of a hundred miles, and the momentum was so huge that it seemed to turn the whole world upside down.

Everyone watched this scene in amazement, and many people no longer dared to continue to move forward, so they turned around and ran down the mountain.

And at this moment, a coquettish voice suddenly sounded on Funiu Mountain: "Who dares to make trouble here?

The old man frowned and said nothing.

In an instant, dozens of rays of light flew from the side of the mountain, and it seemed that the masters of the entire mountain were still out and gathered here. The tourists finally realized that something was wrong, and did not hesitate any longer, and all of them fled down the mountain in horror, and all of them, even if they fled in a panic, avoided the old man who was only a thunderbolt, and did not dare to approach half a step.

Chen Mingye stood beside the old man with a calm face, stretched out his hand to hold Xiaohong, and felt a little headache.

Xiaohong never cared about the changes in her surroundings, but kept blinking her eyes and staring at the old man firmly.

From the sudden wind and thunder to the gathering of many masters in Funiu Mountain, it can be seen that the old man's formation in a short moment really scared the entire Funiu Mountain.

When a Feihong fell not far in front of the old man, it was a beautiful woman in a Taoist robe, she looked at the old man in a short shirt who was standing quietly, and because of the old man's might, she didn't dare to approach for a while.

"Dare to ask this senior?" she said with some trepidation, her face a little frightened, and it was not until she got closer that she really realized how terrifying the plain-looking old man in front of her was.

She couldn't help but sigh, she didn't know where Funiu Mountain, which had always been content with her one-third of an acre, had annoyed such a fairy.

"Passing by, I just saw the old man. The old man finally spoke, but sighed again, "In this world, without her, it's really boring." ”

So he waved his hand casually, and in an instant, the wind and clouds had dispersed.
