Chapter 59, the dervishes go to the wind and sand
The poem says:
A kind of infatuation and hatred, full of frost and snow for ten years.
Several twilight clouds envelop the cape, and the sunset shines on the world.
If you want to ask where the fairy town is, you will temporarily accept the depression and look for people.
Looking back at the world like a dream, the dervishes went to walk the wind and sand.
The Taiping army Ma Rong and Chang Sheng, with more than 90 soldiers, as the first batch, flew up the city wall of Pang County with the launch of the catapult, and found that there was no one to defend the city wall, and sure enough, the defenders of Pang County were defenseless.
After a short time, Ma Rong and Chang Sheng led the troops to the city gate, and only then did the second general encounter a little resistance: a small group of patrolling soldiers came over sleepily!
Ma Rong and Chang Sheng didn't say a word, and led the troops forward, and with a little chatter, like chopping melons and vegetables, wiped out a small group of patrol soldiers.
So the east gate of Pang County was opened, and Tian Mengchang gave an order, and the Taiping army entered the city. Most of the defenders of the city were taken prisoner before they could get up.
By daybreak, Pang County had been completely occupied by the Taiping army. Li Shijun and his men arrived halfway when they got the news of Pang County, saying that Pang County had been taken by Tian Mengchang and Ma Rong Changsheng. When Li Shijun heard this, he was very happy and immediately ordered to speed up the march.
When the army arrived in Pang County, Tian Mengchang, Ma Rong, and Chang Sheng went out of the city to greet them, and Li Shijun entered the city.
At this time, after the verification of Xu Xing and Xu Wenhu, Ha Junbao was finally found out from the pile of 80,000 captives.
Li Shijun asked Zhong Junli and Ha Junbao to be escorted to Tiantong Mansion in a car and handed over to the Taiping Khan Emperor for disposal.
Of the 80,000 captive soldiers, nearly 50,000 were willing to go back to their hometowns to farm, and about 32,000 were willing to stay and join the Taiping army.
According to Li Shijun's order, Tian Mengchang, Ma Rong and others guarded Pang County, and set out to attack Jing County in Mumen Prefecture in the south, and inserted themselves behind Xin Junji and Bu Junrui in Namumen Prefecture, so as to echo Lin Heng's army that was attacking Mumen Prefecture.
Xu Xing Changsheng led 30,000 horses and guarded the county. Xu Wenhu was modified and changed, assumed the pseudonym Xu Hu, and sneaked to Xining Prefecture.
Emperor Taiping Khan ordered Li Shijun and Murong to return to Beijing with their whole family.
According to the original request of Murong Gui, at the beginning of August of the third year of the Taiping Khan, the Taiping Khanate announced everywhere that the Taiping Khan Emperor and the Marshal of the Left Army were married on the same day, and the auspicious day was selected as the eighth day of the eighth month of August.
Such a major event, in the Taiping Khanate, everyone knows about it, everyone is happy, especially the eight eastern prefectures, the pacification is early, whether it is the recovery of production, the social order is good, the villages, towns and social markets, everywhere are held to welcome the gods, singing and dancing, in order to celebrate the wedding of the Khan Emperor and Zuo Shuai.
The news inevitably spread to Dadu Mountain.
Cuigu was cultivating in the True Confucian Residence, and when she went down the mountain, she was surprised when she heard the news: The Taiping Khan Emperor's wedding? What about me? What should I do?
Cui Gu couldn't help but feel sad and came to see the dervishes. The dervishes saw that Cui Gu seemed to have tears, so he asked, "What is the matter with my sister?"
Cui Gu said: "Senior brother, my master has not yet come out of the customs, and I myself am so troubled that I can't advocate it." β
The dervishes said, "What's the matter with my sister?"
Cui Gu said: "Senior brother, you sent me to Dadu Mountain to worship the True Confucian Residence as a disciple. The teacher once promised to help me and ask him Li Shijian and me to keep the promise of the doll back then. I don't want him, he Li Shijian, is going to get married tomorrow!
Now in the territory of the Taiping Khanate, who doesn't know about this matter? I also came down from the mountain yesterday to learn about this matter-Senior brother, what should I do?"
At this time, the dervish monk has the feedback of the bowl, and he has entered the realm very quickly, and he has already reached the peak of the innate realm, however, for the sake of the little stick and his wife, he is suppressing and suppressing, and does not break through the current realm.
At this time, the dervishes looked at this earthly world more lightly. For the doll relatives of Cuigu and Li Shijian, the views are different from the past.
At that time, the dervishes heard Cuigu's words, and said: "Senior sister, he Li Shijian is the king of the world, the Taiping Khan Emperor.
It is also normal for a Khan Emperor to accept the original of three palaces and six courts. In my opinion, no matter what, your position in the main palace is indispensable, junior sister, so you don't have to worry. β
Cui Gu said: "When he came to Dadu Mountain, he pleaded guilty, and later he told me that I am the only one in this life and this life, and when the world is peaceful, he should welcome me down the mountain." For example, if it is not completely calmed down today, I have not yet become an artist, I didn't expect him to be so ......"
Cui Gu was sad and couldn't go on. The dervish monk couldn't say anything, so he had the intention to change the topic, so he asked, "Senior sister, have you asked your brother what your opinion is?"
Cui Gu said: "My brother is drunk all day long, and he is only accompanied by Ah Sui, and it is difficult to say a word on weekdays. Sometimes as soon as he opened his mouth, he kept saying that he wanted to seek revenge on Li Shijun.
In fact, Li Shijun is now the generalissimo of the Left Army of the Taiping Khanate, and his martial arts are stronger than my brother, and my brother is just talking about revenge. He himself knew that there was no hope of revenge, so he would be depressed to such a point, and it was useless for me to persuade him.
- Even if I ask him what his opinion is, what good can he do? He will only oppose the matter between me and Li Shijian, and will never agree. I really don't know, how could he have such a big hatred with Li Shijun?"
The dervishes said, "Otherwise, let's wait until after Li Daoyou comes out of retreat." At that time, your teacher came forward, and Li Shijian naturally had nothing to say. β
Cui Gu said: "Senior brother, the news I heard is that Li Shijian and the Murong clan will hold a big wedding ceremony tomorrow;
Senior brother, your cultivation is superb, and the Taoism is wonderful, why don't you send me to see him Li Shijian, and I will only ask him face to face, why do you want to ignore me and marry someone else? I just ask him, and I will come back. β
The dervishes said, "It's fine." Senior sister, my bowl can be big or small, and there is space in it, why don't you come to my bowl, and I will take you there. β
Cui Gu said "um", so the dervish monk put the bowl on the ground, Cui Gu took a step, sure enough, it was a step, and the person was in the bowl.
At that time, the dervishes took the bowl, walked against the wind, went down to Dadu Mountain, and went straight to Tiantong Mansion.
said that Cuigu was in the bowl, tossing and turning in her heart, secretly thinking about how she should talk to Li Shijian when she saw him. However, I can't always think of how to meet and how to talk. For a while, I was worried and confused.
At dusk, the dervishes came to the Xijing Palace in Tiantong Mansion, and the dervishes asked: "Senior sister, I am now on the Xijing Palace, how do you go to see Li Shijian?"
At this time, the whole Tiantong Mansion is a fire tree and silver flower that never sleeps, and the people on both sides of the street are also dressed in red and green, with colorful lights, and a festive atmosphere.
Inside and outside the palace, not to mention.
Although Cuigu was in the bowl, she had already seen the scene outside, and her heart couldn't help but be gloomy, so she said to the dervishes: "Senior brother, can you sneak into the palace?
The dervishes said, "Senior sister, do you mean to look at him and not talk to him? Are you sure you don't want to reproach him to his face? Didn't you say that you would ask him face to face?"
Cui Gu said: "Yes, senior brother, I said so when I came here before. It's just that I don't want to ask him now. I just looked at him again, and I went back. I didn't come to him to make trouble.
I don't know how many obstacles there are between me and him, but thanks to your efforts, senior brother, I resumed my marriage contract with him and came to this day;
Everything is fate! My own fate is inferior to others, so why should I complain and blame and make newcomers unhappy? From now on, he is him, I am me, he will be his emperor on earth, and I will take my road to eternal life. β
At this, Cui Gu almost burst into tears.
The dervishes sighed in his heart, and as soon as his mind moved, he threw the bowl he was holding down, and the bowl flew straight into the palace with Cuigu, but no one could see it.
After a short time, the bowl flew into the palace, went straight into the first hall, and hovered in the void in the hall. Here, Li Shijian, Li Shijun and their two grandmothers are here, and Murong Gui's whole family is also there-the Murong family has no mansion here, so they temporarily live in the side hall of this palace.
Li Shijian, Li Shijun and the two queen mothers naturally came here, and the two families were a family, intimate and affectionate, chatting with each other.
Cuigu was in the bowl, but she also saw this scene clearly, and her heart was even more sad, and she couldn't help but think of the correspondence she exchanged with him that day, and the small words sang and made peace, and she couldn't help but be sad and sad:
ββThe spring on the stone is singing, the warbler in the forest is singing, and the double swallows are light in the wind. Say anything, fly over the old pavilion. How many whispers, discuss and see, Daishan is deep and green. Flowers are like fire, burning dreams to wake up, and looking at the stars of last night alone. ......
In this side hall, Li Shijian suddenly heard it, and his heart was shocked! He couldn't help but look up at the sound from the beginning. Everyone also looked at the top of the side hall, but when they saw that the palace lights were faint and bright, where was there a human figure? When they looked again, there was no sound.
- But it was Cuigu who asked the dervishes to take back the bowl, and with the dervishes, she sadly turned back to Dadu Mountain.
Not to mention the people in the temple here, they were surprised and puzzled. Let's say that Cui Gu returned to Dadu Mountain with the dervishes, sad and speechless. The dervish monk said: "Senior sister, the road to immortality is what you should pursue." If you and him Li Shijian really have an unbroken fate, you will wait for him on the road to eternal life!"
Cuigu nodded gloomily.
The next day was the eighth day of August. On this day, Cuigu is not dripping rice.
At noon, Li Wenshan just finished his retreat and came out to meet the dervishes.
The dervishes said: "Congratulations to the Taoist friends for getting out of the customs, this time it is a great entry!"
Li Wenshan said with a smile: "Mingchen Daoyou, I can make such progress, and it is thanks to your help! Hey, Mingchen Daoyou, I have finished reading the second volume of the "Fish Watching Sutra" before I left the retreat. It turns out that in this volume, there is also a brief introduction to the method of refining magic weapons!"
When the dervish monk heard this, he asked, "Can you master the use of it?"
Li Wenshan said: "Not yet." However, the scriptures say that in the north of this North Sea, there is a place on the other side called 'Wanlisha', if you can cross over, you can be with the real immortal cultivators, over there, according to the scriptures, there are many immortal cultivators!"
The dervish smiled and said, "In that case, why don't we go over and have a look?"
Li Wenshan smiled: "I want to too, but I can't get over." β
The dervish smiled and said, "How about I take you with this bowl?"
Li Wenshan smiled: "If you can, then you naturally have to go." β
I didn't want Cuigu to come at this time, and when she saw this scene, she said, "Hello Master, you're out of the customs!"
Li Wenshan said: "Cuicui, I want to go north across the sea with your senior brother Mingchen to find people in the same way." After I leave, you will be in charge of this true Confucian residence!"
When Cui Gu heard this, she said, "Master, the disciple is also willing to follow you and Senior Brother together!"
It turns out that Cuigu has a smart heart, has always been diligent, and has already entered the realm, and after feeling the operation of that breath in the body with that bowl that day, she silently remembered and practiced hard, at this time, her strength can already be said to be no less than that of a famous general on the battlefield - if you take the martial artist as a martial artist, Cuigu at this time, she really has the cultivation of the eighth order of a martial artist.
Today's Cui Gu is sad in her heart, and she just wants to embark on the road of immortal cultivation and immortality.
Li Wenshan felt that Cuigu's expression was different, so he said: "Cuicui, what's the matter, you don't look very good today!
At this time, Li Wenshan did not know about the wedding of Li Shijian, the Khan of the Taiping Khanate, so although he was concerned, there was inevitably criticism in his tone.
Cui Gu didn't tell the difference, but said: "Master, the disciple has made up his mind to take the road of immortality! This time, you want to cross the sea and go north with Senior Brother Mingchen, and the disciple will resolutely follow, and there is no ambition!"
Li Wenshan listened, and said to the dervishes: "Mingchen Daoist, I am now an innate fifth-order cultivator, I can't compare to you, you can already step into the spiritual realm at any time." Cuicui is only equivalent to an eighth-order martial artist now, it seems that if you want to go to Wanlisha, my master and apprentice will drag you down!"
The dervish monk groaned slightly, and said: "Li Daoyou, I think so, in my bowl, it is enough to accommodate everyone in the true Confucian residence, otherwise, everyone will come to my bowl, and we will go over together, looking for immortals, seeking to cultivate the true scriptures of immortals." β
The dervishes said this, in fact, he also wanted to take his son and daughter-in-law away with him.
Li Wenshan said: "Okay!"
Liu Xiaobang'er and his wife didn't need to say anything, so Cuigu went to ask Shi Qiangsheng: "Brother, we are going to go with Senior Brother Mingchen, cross the sea to the north, and go to find people who cultivate immortals." Come with us!"
Shi Qiangsheng listened, but this time he quickly spoke: "Sister, you go, I won't go." β
Cui Gu said: "Brother, let's go together to find the road of cultivating immortals, what's wrong? β
Shi Qiangsheng said: "Sister, the longer I live, the longer the pain will be, what do I want to learn from that immortal life?" Just wait until Huanhuan and Lele and the two of them grow up, I can go underground and tell Yuyu that the child has grown up, and I have come to see her." β
Cui Gu said: "Brother, don't you do this! Brother, we are leaving, who will help you take care of Huan Huan Le? You drink every day, and you don't wake up." β
Shi Qiangsheng said: "They put up a Abba like me, that's also fate, who told him that he can't choose his own Abba?"
While he was talking, Li Wenshan asked the little servant to tell him: In the future, the Dadu Mountain True Confucian Residence will temporarily ask Shi Qiangsheng to manage it, and all the scholars will listen to Shi Qiangsheng's orders.
The little servant asked Cui Gu to return to the True Confucian Residence quickly, and Master Mingchen and the teacher were waiting there.
When Cui Gu heard this, she said, "Brother, since Master has asked you to manage it, you must also cheer up." β
Shi Qiangsheng said: "Sister, you go." β
Cuigu returned to the True Confucian House with the little maid, and went to see Mother Wu, who was in charge of the diet of the True Confucian Residence, and asked her to help take care of her two nephews.
So Cuigu, Xiao Bang'er and his wife, the dervishes monk held the black bowl in his hand, and together with Li Wenshan, went down to Dadu Mountain, drove the prepared boat, identified the direction, and headed all the way to the north.
ββI don't know how hard it was, and I went out of the North Sea. On the other side, blowing in the breeze, it is inevitably the sea rain and wind, and as far as the eye can see, it is just a long yellow sand.
