Chapter 22: Southwest trip
www.wuxiaspot.com, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Agarwood like crumbs!
The southwest is originally a soil, but the scenery is excellent: eight hundred miles of green hills, rushing rivers, vast and empty; the wind is cool across the mountain, the peaks are staggered, and the lines are like Beidou purple, and the sky is full of clouds.
Yan Dan held the steamed buns as dry food and looked at Liu Weiyang, who was sitting opposite to him in silence. In her mind, there are two kinds of people who are most unsuitable to travel with when on the road, dumb and gentleman. A dumb person can't speak but only eats, and is boring; a gentleman behaves well and can't do any bad things, and is even more boring. She didn't know if Liu Weiyang was considered a gentleman, but he was indeed a dumb man.
That day, she left Lingxiao Taoist Temple with Tang Zhou, returned to Tang Zhou's home, packed up some clothes, and left Xiangdu City. It was late spring at this time, and only a few red leaves remained on the branches. Liu Weiyang was standing under the peach blossom tree, watching them calmly. Yan Dan didn't know what Tang Zhou had said to him. In short, he became a demon, a celestial master, and an expert who was not in the next year and went to the southwest.
The journey went smoothly, and even the shadow of a ringing horse thief did not come across. Yan Dan was regretful and sighed, saying that the current Emperor Rui of the Great Zhou Dynasty was too politically clear, and there were too few officials who ate idle meals and did nothing. Deprived her of a lot of fun for no reason. And the closer to Zhu Cui Mountain, where the Yi people live, the more silent Liu Weiyang became. When he stopped to rest, he looked straight at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking. When others talked to him, he gave a noncommittal hum at best, and he didn't know if he heard it.
Yan Dan is too leisurely and can only guess what Liu Weiyang is thinking. When a mortal thinks about something nasty, even if he puts on a righteous and awe-inspiring expression, his eyes will still show a bit of despicableness; if he thinks of murder, arson, and no evil, he will grit his teeth and squeeze his fists. But Liu Weiyang's eyes were clear and his expression was indifferent, so he wasn't worried that the sky would accidentally fall a piece?
Yan Dan finished biting a steamed bun and began to slowly send firewood into the fire. Suddenly, with an idea, he pointed to Zhu Cuishan in front of him: "Fengxiu is near to help Yuchan, and the smoke locks the floating clouds in the south, and the Lingyi is winding, why choose victory. High places."
Tang Yiyi choked on his buns and coughed a few times before he said, "Why do you suddenly chant poems and compose lyrics?" This flower demon is indeed so different from the ones he has seen before, except for being coquettish and doglegged. There is still a bit of ink. He turned his head to look in the direction that Yan Dan pointed out, and saw that Zhu Cui Mountain was high enough to support the moon, misty, and winding mountains. Before he practiced the Taoism, he had also been admitted as a child student. In addition to the uneven rhyme of the words, Yan Dannian's words are quite appropriate.
"Auspicious qi goes wrong, evil qi goes straight, mountains surrounded by waters are anger, it seems that Zhu Cuishan must be a land of outstanding people." Yan Dan turned his head and looked at Liu Weiyang, "Mr. Liu, are you right?"
Liu Weiyang glanced at her and looked at Zhu Cuishan's direction.
Yan Dan didn't give up, and said: "But I don't see that the two rivers below the mountain have not gathered together, and the aura leaked out, and it was a failure."
Liu Weiyang shook his head, still saying nothing.
Yan Dan finally gave up, slowly lying on the hay, ready to sleep. She slept very shallowly, and she would wake up with a slight noise. Suddenly she heard a small noise. When she opened her eyes, she saw Liu Weiyang slowly standing up, something in her hand seemed to flash slightly in the moonlight. Yan Dan lay still, saw Liu Weiyang slowly walk to Tang Zhou's side, stood for a while, then turned and walked towards her.
Strange in her heart, she closed her eyes and breathed long, pretending to be asleep. She felt the other person look at herself quietly for a while, and walked slowly into the distance. Yan Dan got up lightly and carefully followed behind him, only to see him walk under a locust tree, and gently dusted the trunk with his hand.
In Yan Dan's view, Liu Weiyang is a person who never procrastinates or does unnecessary things. Every word and every action he makes is unlikely to be meaningless. She was puzzled, and saw Liu Weiyang slowly leaning against the tree trunk, bringing the thing in her hand to the corner of her mouth.
With the silvery white moonlight, Yan Dan saw it really, he was only holding a jade flute. ... It turned out to be a flute, not a weapon, and she was nervous just now.
Moon hanging in the middle. Whose jade flute is blowing horizontally, like heartbroken, like whispering, it is just a teenager who is mad and drunk.
Liu Weiyang's eyes were cold and cold, and he was calm and upset, like a jade tree and green bamboo, with a graceful step. Yan Dan watched him finish playing a song, the blue tune turned, and there was a faint sound of gold and iron, his blue and black sleeves were dancing in the wind, Qinghua thousands of thousands.
Yan Dan stepped back slowly and fell on the haystack. After a while, Liu Weiyang walked gently back to the fire and sat down again. Yan Dan thought in a daze, this time she was really too suspicious.
Early the next morning, I entered Zhu Cui Mountain. I just walked to the mountain pass, and the wet mist came on my face. My feet were slippery and it was not easy to walk, so I could only retreat.
Tang Zhou had to say: "It seems that this mountain road is not easy to walk, I'm afraid I have to invite a local to lead the way." Liu Weiyang was still noncommittal, and Yan Dan smiled and said, "I suddenly thought of a story."
Tang Zhou glanced at her slantingly, and laughed slightly: "What's the story again?" In the past few days, nothing happened except to hurry. You don't need to think about it to know that she must be flustered.
"In ancient times, there was a king who wanted to send troops to attack a neighboring country, so he asked the prime minister if this idea was feasible. The prime minister heard this and only said one word,'ran.' This king was puzzled. The word was good or bad. Later the king became seriously ill, and the dispatch of troops was put on hold. As he died, he also thought about what the prime minister's "ran" meant. The king couldn't bear it in the end. He called the prime minister to the sick bed, told him what he had guessed, and asked him if he meant it. As a result, the prime minister chuckled again, of course. The king immediately died of anger."
Tang Zhou was so angry and funny, it was too bad that she wanted such an allusion to insinuate Liu Weiyang. But Liu Weiyang seemed to have not heard him, and he didn't even turn his eyes.
Yan Dan felt boring, pouting and stopped talking.
When he walked to the entrance of a village outside the mountain, Tang Zhou whispered: "You really like to talk to Brother Liu." Yan Dan frowned and thought about it, smiling: "So you are jealous?"
Tang Zhou said without hesitation: "No."
Yan Dan sighed faintly: "Actually you admit it, it's not a big deal, and I won't make fun of you."
"I do not have."
While talking, I saw two local people walking towards each other. They were dressed in coarse-braided clothes. They were one tall and one short. Seeing three of them in a group, they walked up and said with a smile: "Look at the appearance of the three. Did you visit Zhu Cui Mountain? The weather is just right now, but the mountains are prone to fog, and it’s easy to get lost without locals."
Tang Zhou nodded slightly, and only listened to the local people at the high point continue to say: "In fact, many people come to Zhu Cuishan every year. Our brothers are not the first time to lead the way. The price is naturally easy to discuss."
Tang Zhou took out a small ingot of silver, and said lightly: "At most two hours, we will enter the mountain. Two people see what else needs to be bought, and the rest of the silver will wait for the place."
The man took the money, weighed a few times, and said with a smile: "You can rest assured, as long as half an hour, we can set off, and we are guaranteed to be foolproof!" After that, the short local man walked away, They also muttered there in the native language they didn't understand.
Liu Weiyang whispered: "There is a fishy smell on these two people."
Yan Dan immediately refreshed his spirits: "I think their eyes are twinkling and they are too diligent. I'm afraid there is something weird in them. This way is really interesting."
"Even if there is something weird, it won't be overwhelming." Tang Zhou looked at the baggage, "There is not much leftover dry food. I don't know where there will be someone when I enter the mountain. Buy more and bring it with you now."
Liu Weiyang shook his head and said lightly: "Since they dared to bring people in, they must be caressed. In short, just be more careful."
Yan Dan's hair was horrified: "Isn't the fishy smell you just mentioned..."
Liu Weiyang gave her a noncommittal look, and then said nothing.
Tang Zhou was a little strange. She wouldn't hesitate like this on weekdays and only said half a sentence, so she asked, "What's wrong with the stench?"
Yan Dan's expression was complicated: "I also guessed it casually. It's better not to know, I'm afraid it will make you unable to eat for several days."
Tang Zhou saw that she didn’t say anything, and didn’t force it. The three of them went to the village to buy some dried steamed buns and drew water from the well. When they returned to the village, they saw the two locals carrying hemp rope and axes. , And waited there with a walking stick to explore.
Zhu Cuishan is densely foggy, layered on top of each other, and it is hard to see anything beyond ten steps. Yan Dan quietly looked at the two locals slanting in front of them who were exploring the road with their sticks. They had similar eyebrows, their faces were yellow and black, and they only twitched when they laughed.
I saw the short local man turned his head and grinned at her, showing her scorched teeth: "Girl, you have to keep up. There is a big python in this mountain, who likes to eat delicate skin and tender meat."
Yan Dan immediately put on a frightened look: "There are big pythons in this mountain?"
"This boa constrictor has the thickness of an arm, so long." The man compared it with his hand. "When it opens its mouth wide, it can swallow the whole person."
"Enough, don't go on!" The taller local man immediately interrupted him and said with a smile, "That's just a rumor in our place. Don't be afraid of the girl. If you really meet a python, we two You can hack it to death." As he said, he patted the axe wrapped around the roll of twine on his back.
Yan Danming smiled white teeth, and said softly, "Then I can rest assured."
After walking out of the white mist for a while, she looked around randomly, but suddenly realized that Liu Weiyang, who had been walking behind her, suddenly disappeared. She knew that with Liu Weiyang's skill, it wouldn't be a big problem even if she placed an order, but she always felt that Liu Weiyang would walk with them, and it should also have his purpose. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, at least for the moment, it is impossible to determine whether he is an enemy or a friend, or whether he has other plans.
She was thinking about telling Tang Zhou about this, but she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a figure. She looked back and saw that Liu Weiyang looked plain and was walking behind her.
Yan Dan rubbed his eyes, wondering in his heart: Did she make a mistake just now? It stands to reason that this misty fog is not surprising for a while. She turned her head and looked back frequently like this, even Liu Weiyang felt it, and asked inexplicably: "What?"
"Did you see anything strange just now?" Yan Dan asked tentatively.
Liu Weiyang shook his head, but the short local man turned his head and said, "It's foggy here, and the mountain roads are difficult to walk. It's hard to be dazzled. But girl, you're too suspicious. You should practice your courage."
Yan Dan wanted to rectify the talkative mortal, but thinking that he would still lead the way, he had to hold back. When she was practicing courage back then, this talkative mortal still didn't know where it was. It was really unreasonable to dare to say that she was timid.
They have not known how long they have been walking in the mountains, but there is still a vast expanse of whiteness in front of them. Tang Zhou couldn't help asking, "How long will it take to walk?" The tall man repeatedly said: "Quickly, soon, when you reach the mountain pass, you can walk up the mountain road and you will be able to climb over the mountain." Holding a file, knocked on a tree next to him: "I make a mark all the way, looking at the direction, even if I walk with my eyes closed, I won't get lost." He was about to take a knife and scratch down the bark. Suddenly the short man yelled: "This, this place we have just been here!"
That Zi Gao immediately scolded: "What are you talking nonsense, don't scare yourself! We have walked in this mountain no less than seventeen or eight times. Didn't we go out soon?"
"But look at the mark on the bark, isn't it the one you made before?"
The Zi Gao's face turned pale suddenly, and he muttered: "How could this be? It's never happened before, could it, could it...it's a ghost hitting a wall..."
Yan Dan lowered his body and looked at the marks on the trunk, and then carefully looked at the surrounding vegetation. He had indeed been here before. But if a ghost hit the wall, she wouldn't feel it at all.
Just listen to Tang Zhou speaking calmly: "Then walk again, if you still go back to the original place, think of another way."
The two locals immediately re-identified the direction and walked ahead to lead the way.
Yan Dan walked and looked at the surroundings quietly. In the aftermath, she only saw Liu Weiyang move a few stones away from the ground with her toes every few steps. At first, she thought he was cautious by nature. Make some marks. But after a long time, I started to feel something was wrong. Marking must be easy to identify, but the stones he arranged are disorderly and without any regularity. It seems to be just to kick the stones away.
After walking in the vast white fog for about half an hour, the short local man turned his head excitedly and pointed forward: "This is the mountain crossing. It seems that I just went in a big circle just looking in the wrong direction. ."
Yan Dan glanced at Liu Weiyang quietly, and saw that he did not squint, his eyes were calm, and he didn't even have the common sense of being afraid of worrying.
When she thought about it, she found something strange: the two locals said that they had walked seventeen or eight times in the mountains, and there was no reason to identify the wrong direction, unless they were trying to make a fuss. But looking at their pale and uncertain faces just now, it would be too powerful if they all pretended to be. But when she wanted to, this approach was too redundant.
Since this path cannot be figured out, there is another reason. And this reason should be Liu Weiyang. She saw Liu Weiyang disappear with her own eyes, but then saw him appear out of thin air in the next moment. Is this dazzling for a while? If not, how long did he leave and what did he do? Also, why did Liu Weiyang remove those stones intentionally or unintentionally?
Suddenly she remembered one night in the Kuanglan Mountains a long time ago. It was so hot that night, and she couldn't sleep, so she wanted to go to the lake to breathe. As a result, Yu Mo did not sleep either, standing under the moon with his positive and negative hands. Yan Dan approached, only to see that the ground was full of small stones, dotted all over. The placement of each stone seemed unremarkable, but it seemed to have some kind of mystery. Yu Mo turned his head and glanced at her, then looked down at the ground. Yan Dan was very strange. When he wanted to look closer, he was grabbed by Yu Mo, "These stones are arranged according to Fuxi's gossip. There is no return."
Yan Dan didn't believe it, but when he walked in, the vision in his eyes suddenly changed. The surroundings were murderous, and they kept turning around no matter how they walked. Fortunately, Yu Mo finally pulled her out. After half a year, she saw Yu Mo cautiously, for fear that he might provoke the Lord of the Mountain, and threw her into the stone formation.
If the reason they were walking in the same place just now was because they walked into a Fuxi gossip array, then who was it? Liu Weiyang noticed that someone had put up a formation there and wanted to trap them, but why didn't he mention anything? She wanted to ask him directly, but suddenly changed her mind. Since he didn't say it, she should have his reason. If Liu Weiyang had no intentions, she would have been stunned by asking like this; if he was indeed well-intentioned, her question would probably have broken his business.
Yan Dan raised his head and looked forward, only to see a drizzle floating in the mist, blowing head-on on his cheeks, and there was a shallow figure coming from the mist. The man raised his clothes with one hand and stepped on clogs, his face blurred, every step seemed to be walking in the clouds, his body was light and elegant, there was such an indescribable breath.
