Chapter XVIII Tombstones
Luocang Mountain in Chu has a long history, and in the long years of the past, because it has always been far away from the war-torn land in the Central Plains, it has been able to maintain the most primitive state of life. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Until the Spring and Autumn Period, the state of Chu won Shenzhou in the east, and the state was established in the south. All kinds of waste are revived, and the construction is carried out,
The mountains and rocks of the earth rise from the plain land, the hills are fertile for thousands of miles, and the undulating mountains are located on the bank of the Qishui River, the soil quality is excellent and fertile, and the residents of the surrounding counties have already reclaimed the high-quality fertile land.
The people's livelihood is healthy, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and it is at this time that the law of the state of Chu also stipulates that the townships and counties need to establish private schools, and the counties must set up schools and Taoist institutes, so that the monks of the Chu State can continuously strengthen the national strength.
Luocang Academy is a college established in Luocang Mountain in the name of Nanshan and Chenliu County.
The mountain road is winding, and at the end of the road is a bamboo house and a bluestone alley. What the academy in the depths of the alley looks like, Xu Qingyun has not seen it yet.
He only knew that at the end of the mountain road, there was another mountain road that could lead directly to the main peak of Luocang Mountain.
The two of them crossed the misty mountain road, and Su Ke was dressed in a simple cyan robe and walked alone in front.
Xu Qingyun followed behind her, looking at the way she walked, her waist was very straight, and her jet-black ponytail was constantly shaking behind her head, looking young and lively. A silk ribbon woven with Yingluo was tightly tied, making it look more slender and graceful.
"Senior sister, where are we going? He thought for a moment and suddenly asked.
Su Ke didn't speak, just walked along the quiet river, taking care of himself in front. This small river is left from the mountains, and at this time, at dusk, the bamboo waves are rolling in the distance, and the river is rippling.
Xu Qingyun yawned a little tiredly, running around all day, walking up the mountain non-stop, this level of consumption is a little unbearable for him, who is only seven or eight years old this year.
"Sticking to March in Siguo Cliff may be an opportunity for you. Su Ke walked and said suddenly.
Xu Qingyun was slightly stunned, and he was a little puzzled: "What is the place where Siguo Cliff is?"
"Think about yourself, be sensible, and break black and white. Su Ke raised his head and said seriously: "This is just the meaning on the surface, when you think about it and come back, you may understand what kind of place it is." ”
Xu Qingyun nodded, still very incomprehensible, and asked: "Senior sister asked me to think about the cliff, it doesn't seem like I was deliberately embarrassed, otherwise I wouldn't lend me something as valuable as a jade talisman." ”
"You're right. ”
Su Ke stopped, she turned around, looked at him with burning eyes, and said, "I really didn't misunderstand you, you are careful and scheming, I am looking forward to you." ”
"Senior sister, what the hell are you asking me to do? Xu Qingyun was a little nervous, he knew that this was the case, and he should have gone home directly with Zheng Danyang in the first place.
"It's nothing. Su Ke shook his head and said, "I just want you to help me find something." ”
Xu Qingyun said, "What is it?"
Su Ke raised his head and looked at the vast sky in the distance, the clouds were steaming, the silhouette of the looming mountain peaks, and his gaze became more and more deep and lonely.
Her voice was soft, a little sad, and she said, "Tombstone." ”
"Tombstone!" Xu Qingyun was shocked and said, "What is it, you asked me to carry a tombstone out in that 'Siguo Cliff'?"
Su Ke nodded seriously and said, "Yes." ”
"I'm not going, why don't you go to this kind of thing yourself?" Xu Qingyun shouted loudly, thinking about looking for the tombstones of the dead in the barren mountains and mountains, it felt a little terrifying to think about it.
"I can't go. Su Ke shook his head and said with some regret: "If this is the case, I would have gone to find it myself a long time ago, so how could I ask you for help." ”
"What's the matter? Thinking about a place like the cliff, there is a difference between men and women?" Xu Qingyun sneered at the corner of his mouth, obviously not believing it.
"I want you to pay attention to the tone of your voice. Su Ke's speech was still as plain as water, she stared at Xu Qingyun's eyes, and said seriously: "It's not that I don't want to go, but I don't dare to go." There are things in 'Thinking Over the Cliff' that I can't face, even beyond my life and death. ”
"You don't dare to go, how dare I go?" Xu Qingyun exclaimed.
Su Ke's cold cheeks, which had not changed for thousands of years, suddenly laughed, she was actually very beautiful when she smiled, and she smiled lightly, as if the ice and snow in the nine heavens began to melt, making people feel like a spring breeze.
She pursed her lips and said, "You haven't enlightened your spirit, you don't cultivate the Dao Fa, you don't have vitality, and there is not the slightest danger to you there." ”
Xu Qingyun was suspicious and asked, "It is said that you only recently came back from Yingdu Taixue?"
Su Ke nodded and said, "Well, it's been a while since I've been back." ”
"You didn't come back to Cang Academy for this, right? Xu Qingyun looked at him suspiciously.
Su Ke thought about it, his eyes were a little complicated, but he still nodded and said, "There is a big reason, it's because of this matter." ”
"Then why did you choose me?" Xu Qingyun couldn't laugh or cry.
"It's not just you. Su Ke shook his head and said, "It's been more than three months since I came back, and I've seen a lot of people scattered and observed for a long time, but in the end, I found out that the most suitable person for this matter is you." ”
Xu Qingyun didn't know whether he was happy or sad, he glanced at him angrily, and said, "Then I really thank you." ”
"Maybe it's three months, maybe it's just a few days, it depends on how good you are. I can't provide you with food, you can only hunt for wild fruits yourself. Su Ke handed him the celadon medicine bottle in his arms, and patiently instructed: "Here is the elixir for treating colds, fevers and diarrhea, you put him away, if there is really any danger, I will find a way to pick you up." ”
Xu Qingyun held the celadon medicine bottle in his hand, he looked at Su Ke's careful instructions, as if he remembered the distant Dahezhou, a very distant woman's face, and his heart was suddenly a little moved.
"Thank you. He bowed his head in silence, his voice soft.
Su Ke was a little stunned, she looked at Xu Qingyun, and after a long time, she pulled the bun around her ear and said very seriously: "It should be me who thank you." ”
......
......
The sun sinks in the west, Luocang Mountain in the twilight, the river is murmuring, and the mountain road is winding.
In front of the bamboo house, there are students reading aloud with books and scrolls, and girls wearing long blue clothes of the academy strolling on the path of ancient trees in the mountains. Chen Qun was boiling medicine in the kitchen, and the dancing fire light of Yingying illuminated his dark cheeks.
Zheng Danyang sat alone on the stone bench in front of the door, his hands on his cheeks, and his eyes were a little trance-like. Looking at the bluestone alley in the distance, quiet and deep, inside is the main courtyard of Luocang Academy, sometimes noisy, sometimes quiet, but let him haunt his dreams, and he can't let go of it for a long time.
In the distance, on Luocang Mountain, along the end of the winding path, Xu Qingyun finally saw the cliff with a wall like a thousand feet.
"Think about the cliff. ”
