Eighty-eight: Sword Temple, single-handedly smelling the stars
Chapter 88
Zhuge Lin in Beihai and Langya layout is quite perfect, the two places are adjacent, the west side is against the Wuxing Mountains, this mountain range is a natural barrier, and Langya and Beihai are on the east side of the mountain range, the terrain of the two places is high, easy to defend and difficult to attack, both have natural advantages, and sit on the unique harbor resources. Zhuge Lin has set up a secret sentry in the Five Elements Mountains to guard against surprise soldiers coming over the mountains, and there are many sentry towers on the periphery of the two places, most of which are deployed in post stations, or areas with dense commercial trade activities, so that the sentry towers not only come to observe the enemy's information, but also to supervise the nearby commerce, and in areas with frequent trade activities, there will naturally be markets, which will slowly develop into small villages, and then to small towns, so that the population will slowly become dense. Generally, businessmen from the south want to go to the north to do business, and there are two choices after arriving in Xiapi, one is to go to Xiaopei, and the other is to go to Langya. Why are there two roads from the south to the north? That's why there is a huge mountain range, which is located on the north side of Xiapi, and there are two roads to the north.
Although Zhuge Lin has little land, but this place is well planned, he not only builds water conservancy, the road is also built neatly, surprisingly flat, to ask how flat it is, when the next Pi is about to Langya, this horse is estimated to be able to laugh. The deployment of the outpost has been mentioned earlier, and the outpost can not only ensure the safety of the businessmen, but also play the role that the outpost should have. Zhuge Lin also strongly advocated the people to do business in places with intensive commerce and trade in his own country, not only tax reductions and exemptions, but also encouragement money to receive, so that people who went to the north to do business were more willing to go in the direction of Langya, which was convenient and safe. Most of the merchants who entered the territory of Langya dared to sleep in the carriage for a night.
While encouraging the people to engage in business, Zhuge Lin did not forget to strictly prevent the crime of theft from being beaten to death, and at least he broke his hands and feet to parade on the streets, and at worst he was sent to the salt fields to work as coolies and never get ahead. The robbers and thieves would rather walk dozens of miles to steal in the Northern Zhou Dynasty than do evil in Langya.
Therefore, this Fan Shijin and his entourage entered the territory of Langya, and there was no wind and waves, just enjoy the landscape flowers all the way, plus the special token given by Zhuge Lin, several people can be said to be unimpeded all the way, no matter which county order or Taishou, seeing this line of people, more than seeing their own mother, it is commonplace to invite guests to eat and drink, and I almost didn't take a few people to look for flowers and ask willows.
"Next time I turn back, I'll go to Langya Kingdom!" Liu can be regarded as understanding what a "noble envoy" is. It's a pity that this time it looks like it's about to go out of the North Sea, and the river that was still in the farthest sight before, this time the river water can already shoot on the shore and splash on the body.
Fan Shijin doesn't know the good of Langya Country, this kind of hospitality can be said to be considerate, and everyone is just passing by, this return to Shu must handle the joint matter properly, otherwise there will be no face to see this Zhuge Lin again.
"It's just that I'm afraid we won't be able to go back to this Langya country! When we turn back to the river, and then take a boat all the way to Shudi, but we will go to Wudang Mountain first, if you want to go elsewhere, it doesn't hurt. Fan Shijin sighed slightly regretfully.
"Although it's good to go, I, Wei, will be a companion, and this time I came out to find a blade to take advantage of and go back. Uncle Wei led the red horse, and the river in front of him was the same as the previous river, still surging waves.
However, Fan Shijin and the others were already standing under a large boat, this is the ship arranged by Zhuge Lin before, not to mention the river in front of them, even if it is navigation, this boat is enough.
"Don't say a few, this shipbuilding technology is the same as that of my Nantang. Uncle Wei tilted his head and looked at the unattainable ship, which seemed a bit overkill to carry them.
Fan Shijin also tilted his head and said, "This is indeed a very tall ship!"
"Don't look at the guest officers, let's get on the boat quickly. The little guy under the boat said.
The group no longer tilted their heads up, followed the little guy, and entered the behemoth with their front and back feet.
"Master, I still haven't seen the figure of the star. A man walked into the dimly lit room and said.
The person in the dim room lit a lamp, and because of the lamp, the room where he couldn't see his fingers gradually brightened, and the person's face gradually appeared on the side of the lamp, and the sword sect master, who was over half a hundred years old, did not look old at all, but his sideburns were slightly white, and his hair was paved with a snow-like color by the years. Soon he lit another lamp in the room, and then said, "Don't worry, Xing'er will definitely appear." ”
"What about the wedding between the senior brother and the junior sister?" the disciple asked.
The Sword Sect Master put away the fire in his hand and said, "[Shadow], don't live in this Sword Sect with feelings, otherwise you will be as painful as Xing'er, not only are we waiting for Xing'er to return, but Shenjian has also been waiting for many years." Over the years, I have been recruiting disciples, but none of them are qualified to drive Excalibur, I thought that these people were incapable before, but now I have a new idea. ”
Ying took a step forward and walked to the Sword Sect, as if he was afraid that he wouldn't hear it, and when he was close enough, he asked in a low voice, "What do you think?"
"There should be an order for activating the Excalibur, that is to say, it will not react again until one sword is fully awakened, which is why Xing'er has been gone for so many years, and no one can react with Excalibur anymore. Of course, this is just my conjecture, it's been too long, I can't remember a lot of things, what about you?Shadow?" the Sword Sect straightened the broken hair on his temples and pushed the untidy broken hair back, and this uneasy expression seemed to be pushed back as well.
Shadow stood in front of him and sneered, and said, "Me too, otherwise why wouldn't I have changed my mind and keep calling you master?" ”
"Hahaha! Shadow, you're getting interesting. That's a good thing, a good thing! So go ahead and make the wedding arrangements, and when Xing'er comes back, everything will be clear. The Sword Sect Master waved his hand, and then added as if thinking of something: "Shadow, just don't forget your identity." ”
Shadow didn't look back and walked out of the room, but her mouth kept going up, and it seemed that she had thought of another interesting thing. Walking out of the Sword Sect Master's room, it is the main hall of the Sword Sect, this is the Sword Sacred Temple, not only can there be a secret message about the Sword Sect, but it is also a place to discuss things in peacetime, and the Sword Sect Master also lives here, so it seems that the gatekeeper of this temple seems to be the Sword Sect Master himself. The candles were lit in the temple, and there was a throne behind it, and behind it was a huge statue that was not only symbolic, but also a pillar, and the statue was holding a great sword with both hands, and the great sword was inserted into the floor, and the throne of the temple rested on this great sword. Not only that, there are twelve statues like this in this temple, standing in the main hall in pairs, both hands on the sword, and the sword is inserted in the floor, these statues all act as pillars, and the ceiling of this temple is also carved with a painting, which is the scene of the sword sect master leading the thirteen sword disciples down the mountain, but there are only twelve disciples in the painting, and the sword sect master is thirteen.
Every time the shadow walked out of the temple, he would look around the top of his head, look around again, and finally stop on a statue before walking out of the temple.
"You have to remember it clearly!" Shadow muttered to himself.
The Sword Sect outside the hall is a lively scene, the disciples are all happy, and very busy, just like moving, you come and go, it seems that it takes a lot of effort to arrange the wedding, during this period, it is the greatest luck for the disciples not to practice the sword, this should be the first time that most people have entered the Sword Sect to see the sect hold such a lively celebration.
In the past, the Sword Sect was not only arrogant, but also looked at various sects coldly, with a posture that no one could look down on, and no one could get into it. This martial arts gang and faction have long wanted to visit the Sword Sect, this time the Sword Sect issued a hero post, that is to lead a hair and move the whole body, not to mention the closer sect, it is to see the hero post as seen in the notice, the farther sect has long wanted to see the mysterious sect, the hero post did not continue, so he volunteered to rush here.
"Hello Senior Brother Ying!"
"Well, don't rush, take your time, it's still a few days away. ”
This shadow is very considerate to the little junior brother who comes and goes, observing the busy crowd while reminding everyone to be careful of their step. Looking at the appearance of the shadow again, under the cover of long hair is a delicate face, but he has a habitual movement, like a cat, he likes to squint his eyes into a line to laugh, if it is placed in normal times, he is still the shadow brother who is admired by countless little sisters. Someone once reminded Senior Brother Ying not to squint his eyes like this, it will get smaller and smaller, but Shadow's answer is jaw-dropping, he said that the advantage of squinting like this is that the other party can't see his intention or motive clearly, and he can find the gap as soon as possible and take the other party's head directly.
The disciples of the Sword Sect were enthusiastically building a grand ceremony, and Wen Renxing on the waterway had already disembarked from the boat, and he kept recalling the experience of the Sword Sect over the years in his mind.
"As long as Senior Brother Ying doesn't make a move with the master. I don't care about anyone else. Wen Renxing muttered to himself. Along the way, he changed into a set of clothes for the people in the rivers and lakes that he usually wears, and picked a hat and black gauze, and wrapped the black gauze around his face to expose his eyes, so that it was difficult for anyone to recognize him at a glance.
"I have comprehended the three stages of divine consciousness, and I will die silently in the three stages of divine consciousness of silence, lights out, and buzzing! In this time, I will take away Weige!" Wen Renxing wrapped his face in black cloth, bought some sturdy cloth, tied the handle of the knife with his hand, and then walked slowly towards the Sword Sect with this group of people in the rivers and lakes.
