Chapter 101: Entering Youzhou (4000 words)
The autumn wind blows coolly and the leaves turn yellow.
Youzhou Pass is a little far away from Xuzhou. On the way, he has to pass through several mountain peaks and several long rivers. It took him some time to see stone walls connected with stone walls, and soldiers with soldiers.
There is an open space behind this level. At this moment, Zuo Chen was sitting on the back of a donkey and said to the young soldier in front of him:
"Brother Bing, why are there not many people at Youzhou level?"
"Young gentleman, what are you saying? Who are we putting so many troops here to defend against? Is it possible to defend against the refugees from Xuzhou?"
The young soldier guarding the gate laughed and shouted from the side He poured a bowl of water out of the bottle and handed it to Zuo Chen:
"Kang King has made Xuzhou uneasy, and so many people have been displaced. If we continue to stop him here, wouldn't we be too disrespectful? No matter how many refugees there are, our King Wei will accept them! As long as you are willing to work, you will never die of hunger in Youzhou!"
Zuo Chen drank half the bowl of water and handed the remaining half to Cai! clothes, and after hearing what the young soldier said, he raised his brows slightly.
When he arrived at the Youzhou border just now, Zuo Chen discovered that the defense here was indeed very lax, and it was more than a bit worse than the one in Qingzhou.
There are not even a hundred soldiers outside the entire pass. There is a small village in the distance, which should be the logistics for this group of soldiers.
When Zuo Chen came to pass the customs, these soldiers first came up to check if there was anything dangerous inside the truck. After discovering that he and Caiyi were indeed clean and did not look like bad people, they changed Be extremely enthusiastic.
They were even invited to rest here.
If nothing else, the enthusiasm far exceeds that of Qingzhou.
Zuo Chen even felt like he had entered a fellow villager's home and was being entertained.
"With such a loose defense, aren't you afraid that King Kang will send troops over?" Zuo Chen asked doubtfully.
"Hahaha, little sir, don't tease us with your jokes!" Unexpectedly, the soldier burst out laughing after hearing Zuo Chen's words:
"Who doesn't know the power of our family? The king has eight thousand cavalry, and the elite soldiers are all good in their own way. The army and the people are united, and the generals are tyrannical. No one in the world can be a match for King Wei.
"If King Wei of ours cannot move now, then that's still the case. They care about the friendship between relatives and are unwilling to attack the younger generation with iron cavalry. If King Kang really didn't have the foresight to send troops and angered King Wei, I'm afraid it wouldn't take seven days for King Kang to be tied up directly and thrown to Kyoto to be punished! "
Looking at Zuo Chen and Caiyi again, he said curiously:
"You two are from Xuzhou. I don't think you are starving. Didn't you come here to escape?"
The time was still short, and the soldiers did not receive much detailed information. They thought Xuzhou was Original appearance.
"It's really not the case. Xuzhou is not in such a big disaster." Zuo Chen smiled, but did not reveal too much about Xuzhou: "King Wei is such a good man."
" That's right!" The young soldier no longer cared about Xuzhou: "Now that the world is in such chaos, I dare say that even Kyoto can't compare to our Ansheng in Youzhou! As long as King Wei and Liu Daxian are here, the people can live a good life. Days!"
Caiyi, who returned the bowl next to him, perked up after hearing the word Daxian: "Liu Daxian? Who is this master in Youzhou? ”
"You two are really from out of town and don't know anything about our Youzhou affairs." The young soldier seemed to like showing off the things in Youzhou. He simply set up a big bench and sat on it, planning to talk to the two of them. .
The veteran behind him glanced at him, but did not stop him. He just wiped his weapon and gently tapped the dent in the armor with a small hammer to flatten it.
I think what happened to Liu Daxian was not some hidden secret.
"Liu Daxian is a close friend of our King Wei. It is said that he was originally a mountain god in the mountains. He is very capable! He can ascend to the sky to catch stars, and he can go into the sea to catch the moon. This is the realm of land gods. He used to live in Living a fairy-like life on Qiubai Mountain in Dabeitou.
< br>"Later, when the world was in chaos, King Wei was troubled by the people of Youzhou and heard about Liu Daxian. After that, he made a special trip to Qiubai Mountain and talked secretly with Liu Daxian for three days. After three days, King Wei went down with Liu Daxian. After leaving the mountain, the Immortal officially became King Wei's guest, helping King Wei to benefit the world.
"Now you two can go to any city, town, or even village in Youzhou and find a few eloquent people to ask. They will tell you: 'Youzhou has two saints who are enough to level the world.'"
Zuo Chen nodded, feeling relieved.
After resting for half an hour, the donkey cart pulled the two of them toward the depths of Youzhou. The soldiers guarding the gate also gave them a map, specifically marking several major cities in Youzhou. location.
The car was swaying on the road. Zuo Chen held the map and showed it to the donkey. After making sure that the donkey understood it, he let the donkey drive automatically while he chatted with Caiyi:
"I heard from the soldiers that this mighty king is quite good."
"Not necessarily." Caiyi shook his head while teasing the golden boy: "There is always a rumor in Qingzhou that King Shou is a great good man, but in fact he has done a lot of things in private. A bad river breeds evil people, as anyone who has been involved in the world knows!"
When he said this, Cai Yi had a disgusting expression on his face, as if he had seen some of King Shou's troubles before! human operation.
King Shou attaches great importance to his reputation, and even has a group of bachelors under his command who write tabloids for him.
However, in fact, if the tabloids did not cover up what King Shou did in private...
I am afraid his reputation would not be much better than that of King Kang.
As for what kind of person King Wei actually is, we still have to visit him in person to find out.
And that Liu Daxian.
Zuo Chen still remembered that Liu Lezi said that Xian'er was worshiped in the vassal prince's home. If King Kang did not offer it, then it should be said that King Wei was the one to offer it.
After learning that his foundation building was different from conventional foundation building, Zuo Chen did not expect Liu Daxian to have any exquisite methods of cultivating immortals, but from the description, he was indeed a capable person. When the time comes to meet him, if he is indeed a good person, we will make a cup of tea and have a good discussion about Taoism.
The wheels were squeaking, Cai Yi was flipping through his little notebook, which was filled with things Zuo Chen had said, reviewing the past and learning the new.
Zuo Chen counted the number of times the wheel turned, looked at the distance he had just walked, and calculated his speed.
Estimating that it would take some time to reach a nearby county, and there was nothing to do on the way, Zuo Chen took out the ice stone and played with it in his hand.
Putting this thing on the fingertips and rubbing it twice, a slight chill passed into Zuo Chen's palm. If you hold this thing in summer, it should be quite comfortable.
Immediately afterwards, Zuo Chen found two little dolls, the Golden Boy and the Beautiful Girl, approaching him, lying on Zuo Chen's wrists, staring at the stone curiously.
I wanted to reach out and touch it, but I didn't dare. I could only look at Zuo Chen helplessly.
He laughed dumbly and said: "You two, be careful, it's very cold, don't get frozen."
Put the small stone next to the golden boy and beautiful girl.
The golden boy blinked his big eyes, stretched out his finger, and touched the stone.
His golden little fingers touched the dark blue ice jade. The next moment, the entire small stone turned into a cold current from the iron stone and flowed directly into the golden boy's body!
Seeing that the golden boy stood up unsteadily as if he was full and drunk, he spun around in Zuo Chen's palm and sat down on it with a snap.
A faint blue light also appeared on his golden body, and wisps of cold air flowed outward from his body.
The golden boy showed a satisfied smile on his face, and then shrank his body.
Asleep.
"Huh?" Zuo Chen was probably slightly stunned by the scene in front of him.
Can they both absorb this thing?
After using Ling Qi to feel it, I found that there is indeed a pure cold current in Jintong's body. If he uses it well, he can make the north wind of the twelfth lunar month and cover the whole place with snow.
After getting the golden boy and the beautiful girl, Zuo Chen really thought about whether to let these two little babies practice to make them stronger. However, he tried to teach them several skills, but the two The little baby seemed to not understand, and would often turn his head to the left or right or fall asleep when Zuo Chen reached the third sentence.
Zuo Chen gave up after trying it twice. But he didn't expect that these two dolls could strengthen themselves by devouring treasures.
After witnessing everything, the beautiful girl next to her grabbed Zuo Chen’s thumb and began to shake Zuo Chen’s thumb to act coquettishly, pointing at the golden boy and saying, “Give it to me. Get a whole one too" expression.
Zuo Chen rubbed Jade Girl's head with his index finger, and could only reluctantly promise: "If I encounter a ball of innate fire in the future, I will remove it for you."
After receiving this promise, Jade Girl was satisfied. He nodded, then squatted next to the golden boy and started singing a lullaby.
The interaction between the two little ones was interesting. Zuo Chen just smiled and didn't care which little stone he lost.
It is also a good thing to improve the moral conduct of the golden boy and the beautiful girl, so that at least if Caiyi is too busy, these two little ones can handle any chores in the future.
I just don’t know where to find the flame that I promised Yunu.
......
"Hiss? Where did you come from? Is this still Xuzhou?"
When the young man riding the white horse saw the rejuvenated Xuzhou, he felt a little confused for a moment. Don't know where I am.
After receiving the order from King Wei, he set out from Youzhou and came to Youzhou and Xuzhou to handle some chores. At that time, he saw that Xuzhou was really noisy, so he came in and took a walk, thinking about how many people he could save. personal.
After going around in a circle, he led several families to Youzhou, and then put his own peach core on it to protect a whole city of ghosts.
Now that the matter is done, I want to go back to the ghost town to take a look.
I didn’t expect that when I entered Xuzhou again, I found that this place suddenly changed!
The mountains and rivers are beautiful and beautiful. Where is the desolate look like before?
The young man came back to his senses after not being shocked for too long.
It is estimated that there is some master here in Xuzhou who took care of that shit basin.
What about ghost towns?
Wouldn’t he be easily eliminated as well?
Thinking of this, the young man rode his horse in the direction of Luoshan. His white horse was also a divine horse. The journey that should have taken a long time was completed in just a few days.
When he arrived near Luoshan, he found that the entire city was gone.
Before the young man could recover, he saw a peach tree on the flat ground where the mountain should have been.
This peach tree is basking in the sun. The warm sun falls on the peach tree, and the light passes through the leaves and falls on the ground, turning into pieces of gold, lazily.
The young man just took one look at the peach tree and realized:
Isn’t this my peach core?
It was actually planted!
He spent so many years, consulted so many famous experts, and studied day and night with his master, but in the end he failed to plant this peach stone into a peach tree.
The result is now?
What kind of skill is this?
He was shocked, and there was a fanatical joy on the young man's face.
“Great! It’s planted!”
During the great joy, the young man actually cheered, flew directly off the white horse, and ran towards the peach tree.
The white horse seemed to be used to its master's surprises. After walking around in place for two times, it started to eat grass.
It was the young man’s attitude that shocked Little Peach Tree!
The little peach tree saw that the young man did not have any evil aura on his body, and was thinking about whether to open the gate of Luoshan for him. When he saw the young man rushing over like this, he was so frightened that he lost his mind, and the two branches swung. When it was round, he whipped it towards the young man.
Like a little girl throwing bastard punches with her eyes closed.
But the young man didn’t stop even after being slapped. Instead, he laughed:
"Very energetic! Very energetic! What a good thing!"
After being hit several times, he grimaced in pain, but he still smiled.
It even made the tree tremble with fear!
Is this... is this the pervert that the Taoist priest told himself to be careful about before he left?
"Stop fighting! Miss Peach Tree, stop fighting! Good guy, this is a good guy!"
Finally, a familiar voice helped the young man get out of trouble. When he looked up, he found that the old man in the city was standing next to the peach tree and trying to persuade him.
Taoshu just stopped moving and still hid behind the old man timidly, just like a little girl who had seen a vicious thief.
After appeasing the peach tree, the old man came to the young man, his face full of embarrassment.
"Old man, long time no see, which immortal is helping the peach tree bloom." The young man's eyes were shining, and he kept rubbing his hands, looking eager to try.
The old man wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead with his hand.
This reaction was different from what he imagined.
"You go to the city first, it's a long story."
......
Walking for a whole day, I took in all the scenery of Youzhou.
At this moment, the weather has entered autumn, the wind is blowing coolly, and it is also mixed with a bit of coldness. Unlike Xuzhou, Youzhou has many mountains and mountains.
Some are steep and towering, some have rugged peaks and rocks, some are like turbulent waves, or some are cut into sharp cones, creating a vast momentum.
Some peaks are high enough, and a pure white line is painted on the top. The bottom is not green, but light red and yellowish. It looks like the setting sun has been painted in ink, or like the mountains have been worn away by old clothes. Colorful.
Suddenly the wind picked up, it rained lightly, and thick fog gradually appeared on the road. Zuo Chen drove the donkey cart to find shelter from the rain.
I found a tea shed on the side of the road. After entering, I found that many travelers were resting here, including those cutting wood, those on the road, and some scholars.
When Zuo Chen arrived here, he found that there were a lot of people, especially a group of woodcutter who seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, with anxiety on their faces.
Then he looked sideways at the thick fog outside.
There seemed to be strange shadows moving in the fog.
The brows moved slightly, understanding in his heart.
No wonder.
There is something in this mist!
