222. Taiyuan Li Fuda
After Du Bucheng and a few people crossed the Yellow River, they diverted all the way to the northwest and went to Taiyuan Mansion.
When it was dark, several people entered the continuous Taihang Mountain.
Since it was already close to June, it was inevitable that several people were sweating at this time.
Du did not forget to find a riverside open space and started a fire with Zihan, so Xia Zihan took Yingqin and prepared to go to the river to wash his face.
At this time, he heard Xia Zihan and Yingqin both shouting at the same time, and then ran back in fright, Du did not forget to quickly ask:
"What's wrong?"
Zihan patted his chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and said:
"There's a big python in the river, it's scared to death for me and Yingqin!"
Du did not forget to smile and said:
"It turned out to be a snake, don't be afraid, we just have snake meat to eat!"
At this time, Yingqin on the side also eased up, and looked at Du and said:
"Master, the snake is so disgusting, I can't eat it!"
At this time, Xia Zihan also said:
"Forget it, the python doesn't hurt anyone, just don't kill him, just drive him away!"
Du did not forget to reply:
"Good!"
Then he took the Tai'a sword to the river and directly scared away the python, and just saw that there were still fish in the river, so he caught a few of them, and several people began to grill the fish to eat.
Unexpectedly, at this time, he suddenly saw a loud noise in the water not far away, and Du Bucheng hurriedly looked at it, only to see a bald old man carrying a knife in one hand, and pulling the python directly to the shore with the other hand, and then cutting the python's stomach with a knife.
Du didn't forget to take a closer look, isn't this bald old man the monk of Eagle Disease? Then he quickly ran over excitedly and shouted:
"Master Eagle Disease...!"
At this time, the eagle disease monk had already taken out the snake gall from the snake's body, then turned around and smiled at Du Buyi, and said:
"Who am I, it turns out to be Du Xian's nephew!"
Du Yi did not forget and asked:
"Master Eagle Disease, why are you in this place of Taihang Mountain?"
The eagle disease monk replied:
"It's a long story, but we'll talk about it later!"
Then he took the snake gall bladder and handed it to Du Yi and said:
"Does Du Xian's nephew want to eat this good thing?"
Du Bu Bu hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"Master Eagle Disease, eat it yourself!"
The eagle monk swallowed the snake gall directly, and then carried the python over to the fire, and said to everyone:
"Why don't you come and help cut and roast this snake meat, it's delicious!"
Xia Zihan and Yingqin on the side were startled, but they didn't dare to speak.
At this time, Du Buyi and Yingshu came over to help the monk Yingjian take a knife and sword to divide the snake meat into several sections, and then roasted it directly on the fire.
After roasting for a while, seeing that there was a pungent fragrance coming out, the monk Yingjian took two pieces of snake meat that was close to roasting and handed them to Du Buyi and Yingshu and said:
"You two should come first!"
After Du didn't forget the snake meat, seeing that Xia Zihan's stomach was also growling at this time, he first leaned at him and said:
"Zihan, try it, it's very fragrant!"
Xia Zihan glanced at the snake meat, and wanted to eat it, but he didn't dare to eat it, so he pushed Du Zhi's hand and said:
"I don't dare to eat it!"
Du Buyi took a bite of the snake meat and said:
"It's very fragrant!"
Xia Zihan's stomach was rumbling again at this time, and Du did not forget to hand over the meat again, saying:
"Try it!"
Xia Zihan closed his eyes, took a bite, felt that the taste was not bad, and inadvertently ate it directly.
Yingqin saw that Xia Zihan dared to eat snake meat, and the essence of the food was delicious, so she also asked the monk of Eagle Disease to get up, and the monk of Eagle Disease smiled and said:
"Now you know it's delicious!"
Then everyone ate all the snake meat, and not long after, a big python was eaten by everyone.
After eating the snake meat, Du Buyi took the opportunity to ask:
"Master Eagle Disease, where do you live?"
The eagle disease monk replied:
"The poor monk is the tent in the sky, the earth is the bed, and everywhere is a place to live!"
Then I fell asleep, only to hear a burst of snoring.
At dawn the next day, Du did not forget to wake up to find that Master Eagle Disease had disappeared, and Zihan was cleaning up his clothes on the side, so he asked:
"Zihan, why don't you see Master Eagle Disease?"
Zihan replied:
"He left at dawn, and let me tell you before I left, I will see you again!"
Du did not forget to reply:
"Well, let's pack our things and get on our way!"
Then he washed his face by the river, woke up Yingshu and Yingqin and the others and continued to go in the direction of Taiyuan.
When I was about to arrive outside the city of Taiyuan, I met a group of white-scarf monks who were carrying a large sedan chair towards Du Buyi and walked over, only to see that the sedan chair was in front of several people, and the first monk said to Du Buyi:
"Du Gongzi, our sect leader specially asked us to come here to welcome you and your family into the city, please get on the sedan chair!"
Du did not forget to ask:
"Is your sect leader in the city now?"
The monk replied:
"I'm waiting for Du Gongzi in the city, so hurry up and get on the sedan chair!"
Du did not forget to say:
"But I'm going to send two apprentices to visit a friend!"
The monk continued:
"Is Du Gongzi's friend a good friend? He is also a guest at our Sect Master's Mansion at this moment!"
Du did not forget to reply:
"It turns out that your sect leader also knows He Sheng, that's just right!"
Then he and Xia Zihan pulled Yingshu and Yingqin into the sedan chair.
Not long after, a few people entered the city, passed a few neighborhoods, and came to the outside of the mansion with the surname Yi.
At this time, Li Fuda and He Sheng had already been waiting outside together, and Ying Nan and Ying Qin saw He Sheng and knew each other, so they hurriedly ran to him.
After Du Buyi saw Li Fuda, he was about to call "Brother Li", but Li Fuda gestured with his hand, and Du Buyi also remembered, so he hurriedly called:
"Brother Zhang!"
Then several people introduced each other and entered the house.
At this time, Li Fuda had already prepared wine and food for a few people, and after entering the house, he pulled Du Bucheng and a few people to start eating on the table.
Du did not forget to ask:
"Brother He Sheng, why are you in Brother Zhang's mansion?"
He Sheng replied:
"So Wang Shangshu has returned to Beijing, I am idle, and Brother Zhang is friends again, so I came to Brother Zhang's house to visit the door!"
Du did not forget to ask Li Fuda again:
"Brother Zhang has been promoted now?"
Li Fuda replied:
"It is estimated that I may have to sit in this Taiyuan command for the rest of my life!"
Du did not forget to say:
"You're not good, being a general, and enjoying happiness, besides, Taiyuan is not as vulnerable to the Tatar threat as Datong Mansion and Xuanfu places!"
Li Fuda also smiled and said:
"Yes, Taiyuan Mansion has indeed not suffered from military disasters for several years!"
Then he said:
"Brother Du, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor has pardoned you, and you don't need to be incognito in the future!"
Du did not forget to smile and said:
"Brother Zhang, your news is very well-informed, I don't even know about this!"
Then he told a few people about the changes in Yingshu and Yingqin's family, and He Sheng couldn't wait to rush to Huangzhou Mansion to find Liu Hong to settle the account, but he was persuaded by Du Buyi and Li Fuda.
After eating, He Sheng took Yingshu and Yingqin home, Du Buyi also relieved himself at this time, and then went back to the room with Xia Zihan and began to pack his luggage.
When the two of them were sorting out their things, they found that there was an extra scroll of calligraphy and painting in the package, and when they opened it, they saw that it was the ancestral treasure painting that harmed Xu Yuanwai's family and died.
Seeing this, Xia Zihan snatched the painting in Du Buxing's hand and said:
"It's this broken painting, and we've started to wander again, this thing is really a bad thing!"
Then he wanted to put it on the side of the candle flame and burn it, Du Yi was about to stop Xia Zihan, but Zihan had already put the painting on the candle flame and lit it at this time.
Suddenly, after one corner of this painting was burned, an old piece of parchment paper was revealed inside, and Xia Zihan also found it at this time, so he stopped burning it again, and then said to Du Yi:
"Xianggong, there must be something wrong in this sheepskin!"
Then the two of them gently pulled the sheepskin out of the scroll, and directly drew a topographic map of the mountains on the sheepskin, and a red dot was shown in the middle.
Then Du did not forget to find that there was still handwriting on the reverse side of this sheepskin, only to see that it was written:
"This treasure map is the place where my late father Emperor Zhongwu hid the treasure, although the first emperor was not my own father and emperor, and there were many heirs, but he was like a parent and son to me, and he even buried the treasure of the expedition to the west and west for him in Qixia Mountain, so that if there is an accident in the future generations, it will be used for urgent needs!"
It goes on to read:
"The red dot in the middle of the parchment paper is the place where the treasure is hidden, and if my descendants Li Yu are lucky enough to get this treasure, they must share half of it with the descendants of my father, Emperor Xu!"
Xia Zihan exclaimed in surprise at this time:
"Xianggong, we have made a fortune!"
Du did not forget to reply:
"This is the ancestor of Yingshu and Yingqin, and it is also written that the descendants of the Xu family and the descendants of the Li family must be eligible to inherit, and it has nothing to do with us!"
Xia Zihan had to sigh and said:
"Say whatever you want!"
Then Du did not forget to quickly put away the parchment and calligraphy and painting, and then suddenly remembered another thing, so he said again:
"Then how could Liu Hong know the secret of calligraphy and painting, he is not the descendant of the Xu and Li families!"
Xia Zihan replied:
"This is not necessarily, there are many people who change their names and surnames in the world, let's go to He Shengna tomorrow and ask him if he knows!"
Du did not forget to say:
"Okay, I also have this intention, just return the painting to Yingshu and Yingqin tomorrow!"
Xia Zihan asked:
"Xianggong, we haven't been together for a long time, stay with me tonight!"
He began to write notes and took off his clothes.
Du didn't forget to look at Zihan and replied:
"I didn't expect you to learn to take the initiative, madam!"
Then he stepped forward and hugged Xia Zihan and kissed him, and began to take off his clothes by the way.
After the two kissed for a while, Zihan was pressed to the bed by Du Yiyi, and only heard Zihan say:
"Xianggong, can you be gentle?"
Du did not forget to reply:
"Didn't you always like me like this? Why did you still make me gentle today!"
Zihan said at this time:
"Which woman doesn't like gentle men, you used to be very gentle, okay?"
Du did not forget and replied:
"Well, my good lady!"
Then all I heard was the sound of rapid breathing and the squeaking of the bed frame.
