Chapter 256: The New Voice is Happy
"Bagua City!" Zhang Liao rubbed his hands eagerly, and immediately ran in to find out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info can see that he still loves his worldly profession.
"Are you sure my father is in the city?" Du Yuan rarely used the written word "father" so solemnly, and the close family affection was timid. It's no wonder that my father, who hasn't seen him for 20 years, doesn't feel strange.
Zhuan Zhu shook his head, "I'm not sure. But we have nowhere else to look for, right? ”
The three of them untied their horse's hooves and slowly descended the slope.
The glorious Bagua City gradually flattened as the perspective decreased, until it was reduced to a black wall.
Only the bonfire burning in the corner tower directly in front of them was blazing, guiding the way for everyone.
Closer, closer.
Phew――
A rocket came with a whistle and landed precisely in front of the feet of the man walking in front of him, and the cluster of arrows slammed diagonally into the dirt. The tongue of fire climbed up the grease on the shaft, already burning the feathers.
As soon as Zhu Zhu raised his hand, all three of them stopped.
"The envoy of Huashan Baiyun Palace asks to see Du Zun-" Zhuzhu's shout was very long, and he was handed over from afar.
He did not report the exclusive name of the underworld inspector of the day tour, and obviously concealed something from the Tang defenders.
Perhaps, this is the name agreed upon in advance by Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng, and Mr. Du? Zhang Liao thought to himself in his heart.
In a moment, there was a creaking sound, and a drawbridge was lowered from the head of the city, crossed the wide moat, and crashed against the opposite bank.
The gates opened, and a small group of light horsemen rushed out almost silently, the white cloaks fluttering behind each of them were very eye-catching in the moonlight.
After three breaths, the team was in front of them.
The first rider stopped at the horse, and the bright light armor on his body reflected the star cold. "Which one is from the White Cloud Palace?"
"It's down there. "Zhuan Zhu is very polite.
"Do you have a token with you?"
"Yes. Zhuan Zhu took something out of his bosom and held it high above his head.
Zhang Du and the others could see it clearly, it was clearly a cloud-shaped cloud, white and warm.
The rider didn't take it, but just looked down and looked at it repeatedly, without saying a word.
Zhuan Zhu was not in a hurry, he still raised his arms high, and whispered, "Burning Gang to Chun, like clouds with the wind-"
The jade pendant suddenly brightened, and a mist burst out within half a foot in diameter. The mist gradually ascended, condensing into a sinuous curve again in the cold air, and the lines were exactly the same as the patterns carved on the jade pendant!
The rider straightened up and didn't get off the horse, but just bowed his hand respectfully, "Du Zun has an order, and all those who come will be strictly checked." The last general will be armoured, and I will not give a great gift—please follow me into the city. ”
When the riders behind him heard the words of the leader, they immediately dispersed and gathered behind the three of them, revealing the meaning of half-escort and half-guard.
Zhuan Zhu didn't care, put the jade pendant back away, and nodded to Zhang Liao and Du Yuan.
The three of them followed the horse team into the city slowly.
Zhuan Zhu coughed, "Dare to ask, Du Zun can be in the city?"
The rider didn't look back, "No." ”
The three of them suddenly felt half cold in their hearts - especially Du Yuan, who had already written huge disappointment all over his face.
"Du Zun is not in the city. But he can see you at any time. The rider added meaningfully.
What does this mean?
Du Yuangang wanted to ask if there was a "video phone" - but immediately realized that this concept seemed very stupid here, so he had to swallow the question.
The bluestone paving in the city is very neat and tidy when splashed with pure water.
The howling north wind seemed to stop at the city gates, and there was no frost condensation inside. In the remaining depressions in the stone crevices, the stagnant water reflects the light of the torches jumping along the street, fluttering and agile.
The lighting here actually uses torches instead of lanterns, which surprised Du Yuan and Zhang Liao, who had seen the demeanor of Chang'an, at the same time.
If you look closely, you can see that the streets are lined with tall stone houses on both sides, and even the roofs are paved with natural stone slabs - no wonder people are not afraid of walking in the water.
Without the wooden houses that the Tang people are accustomed to, it is impossible to see what kind of architectural style it is here for a while.
The horse convoy slowly walked down the street, with only three visitors on foot. Listening to the sound of light hooves in front of and behind him, Du Yuan was a little puzzled, and looked down-
For some reason, the riders' horses were all covered in black gel on all four hooves, which looked tough, hard-wearing, and had a noticeable sound-dampening effect.
No matter how you step on the bluestone road, there will be no crisp impact sound.
"Ahem, why are we walking so leisurely? Also, you horse's hooves are wrapped in—" Du Yuan grinned, unable to hold back his thoughts.
"Don't worry. The leader in front of him glanced back at him, "Are you coming back from the head?" Listen, although this city is big, do you hear the slightest noise?"
"Hmm......" Du Yuan listened attentively, and sure enough, Mo said human voices, and even the wind was banned. None of the horses neighed, I don't know if they were well-trained or what?
"So quiet. There are no residents in the city?"
"Thirty-two thousand. ”
Hiss-Du Yuan took a breath of cold air, this is not normal. Even if it is a curfew in Chang'an, it can't stop pots, smashing bowls, beating wives, scolding children and cats calling spring? Oh, this is not spring...... That dog has to bark a few times, right?
Nothing.
Seeing his expression, the team leader smiled slightly, pointed to the military horse under his crotch and said, "The hooves are wrapped in the substance extracted by Du Zun in the stone black oil, and mixed with magical resin, he calls this thing 'tires', which is silent and wear-resistant, and the horses like it very much." ”
"Hehe," Zhang Liao smiled, turned his good friend with his elbow, and said in a low voice, "Outer tires - your father is really good." I suspect he's built the car. ”
The team leader didn't seem to hear them ridiculing, and said to himself, "The most important thing is that Du Zun doesn't like to be noisy. He was so wise and clever that he often fell into long contemplations—but at such times no fly in the city dared to fart. He once said that if you meditate for a moment, you will be remembered for a thousand years...... These words are still engraved on the Tower of the Three Realms—"
With that, the leader raised his arm from his white cloak and pointed with his whip ahead of him, and there was a stone tower in the distance, a little high. The dark silhouette stands out against the night sky, with only an orange glow shining through the arched stone windows on each floor.
"Meditate for a moment, and get a thousand years of thought...... What does this mean?" Du Yuan was a little confused.
"I'm ashamed, I didn't understand it either. "The leader is a frank person. "In short, here, Du Zun's words are no less than Chrysostom's words, second only to the existence of the holy decree. ”
When Du Yuan heard that he respected his father so much, he suddenly had a good impression. "Dare to ask the military master, how to call it?"
"Oh, the Left Xiao Guard of the Town Soul Army is under the command of the city patrol servant Xian Changhe. ”
"What Pu Ye?" Du Yuan was confused.
Zhuan Zhu couldn't bear to hear it, but poked out a finger on his side, a line of black mist evaporated from his fingertips, and with a slight shake of his wrist, the word "servant shooting" was drawn in the air, and the handwriting immediately drifted away.
"Oh-" Zhang Liao and Du Yuan suddenly realized at the same time, "I've heard of this, this, it seems that I can't shoot and shoot - Nian Ye!" The two brothers looked like they had gained knowledge.
Zhuan Zhu nodded, frowning at the two of them, wondering how he could have such a group of tourists who had never seen the world.
"Is this official big?" Du Yuan was born fearless, and continued to shake off ignorance.
“...... It's hard to say. Zhuan Zhu shook his head, "Some are very large, and some are average." Similar...... The meaning of 'supervisor' where you come depends on which one you are in charge. ”
Fortunately, this day-traveling inspector has already updated to the 21st century version of the knowledge system in the underworld, and he can still do it with simple puzzles.
"Xian Servant, why did we build this city, and what kind of business do you people live on here?"
Du Yuan asked more and more deeply, but seeing that Xian Changhe's figure was stagnant, he turned around on horseback and stared at him, and asked Zhuan Zhu instead, "Mr. Messenger, what is the origin of these two people around you?
As soon as these words came out, the entire horse team stopped, and instantly formed a circle, and the swords were tense.
Zhu Zhu knew how well he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward and gave up his hand, "Don't doubt it." This Mr. Du Yuan is not an outsider, but the son of Du Zun. ”
It wasn't loud, but it startled everyone.
Dozens of riders looked at each other, and the leader said solemnly, "This is true!"
"It couldn't be more true. Zhuan Zhu nodded again and again.
There was a loud bang of armor, and all the riders rolled their saddles and dismounted, and gave up their hands in unison. "The military order is in the body, I can't bow down in armor! I am lazy, and I ask Du Gongzi to forgive me-"
These respects were all directed at Du Yuan, which scared the teasing young man a lot, but his waist involuntarily pulled up three points. I secretly thought in my heart - my dad is a good mix, I am a typical fox and fake tiger...... Alas, I don't know if I am a rich second generation or a noble second generation at this moment, or both?
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but scratch my ears and cheeks.
Others didn't know his dirty thoughts, and they were embarrassed to worship. I feel that Du Gongzi is simple and honest, and he is down-to-earth. Immediately received a large number of praise......
No one got on the horse anymore, but instead all walked along the street with the three distinguished guests on foot.
In less than a quarter of an hour, they have come to the foot of the majestic stone tower.
As we got closer, the handwriting engraved on the stone wall of the tower became clearer. Sure enough, the line on the left is "Moment of Meditation" and the line on the right is "Remembering for a Thousand Years".
There are only two big characters in the middle - "Three Realms".
These ten characters are cut with axes and chisels, and the penmanship is very sharp.
Zhuan Zhu shuddered, and the Three Realms ...... What a Three Realms. The last time he came here on an errand, the tower had not yet been completed. At this moment, when I first saw it, it was also a palpitation.
Du Yuantong is general thoughts, this--what a big breath! They have already been involved in the human world and the underworld, but where is the third realm? The legendary "fairy realm"? Could it be that my father has already studied it......
"Why are these words big and small?" asked Zhang Liao, who pointed to the left and right lines of vertical fonts. "The big one is so big, and the small one is so small, this kind of calligraphy layout is extremely rare......
The city patrol servant looked Xian Changhe up and down and nodded slightly. "Sure enough, Du Gongzi's friends are not idle. It is said that there is another verse of Du Zun hidden in this calligraphic layout, and I have not been able to understand it so far. That is, 'no matter how long or short, only in size'. ”
Hiss ――――――
This time, it was Zhang Liao and Du Yuan's turn to gasp at the same time!
no matter how long or short , only big or small !
What a familiar sentence, how many times the soul haunts the dream, this is clearly ......
"Dan Lao!" the two blurted out in unison as they looked at each other.
That's right, this is exactly the sentence that the two of them heard in a trance after they first entered the Dan Garden and accidentally ate the Jie Dan, and before their divine consciousness was dragged to the study of "One Dao Fa".
A good "meaningless length, only in size". What does this mean exactly?
Why did Du Xuanyuan and an immortal make key statements together?
Is there anything between them? It can't be......
So what is it for?
-- The two fell into a brief state of stupidity.
"Ahem, three, please come with me!"
