Chen Pingan thought that if he touches stones during the day, he can start from Liu Xianyang started upstream and went upstream until he reached the covered bridge, so tonight he chose the spot further upstream where he first entered the water, so he would stay away from the covered bridge and the blue stone cliff known as the Green Oxback in the local dialect. , the place where Chen Ping'an first met the girl in green, and he also missed the meeting with Song Jixin and the supervisor.
On the other side of the covered bridge, there is a plaque with the four characters "Wind and Water Rise" hanging high.
The man in the white robe and jade belt was nominally the governor of Long Kiln, but in fact he was the most powerful vassal king of Dali. Under his leadership, Song Jixin came to the bottom of the steps of the covered bridge. Before coming, Not only did he bathe and change clothes in the official office, he also hung a sachet and a dragon-shaped jade pendant made of ordinary material. The color was dull and unremarkable. On the contrary, the Laolong Buyu jade pendant, which was more outstanding in terms of texture, appearance and meaning, was forced to be taken off by the man and was absolutely not allowed to be worn.
Song Jixin held three sticks of incense in his hands, and the young man stood at the foot of the steps, at a loss.
Song Changjing, the king of the Great Li vassal, turned around, stretched out his hand, and lightly twisted the tops of the three incense sticks with his two fingers, and the incense was lit.
The man said casually: "Kneel down, face the plaque, kowtow three times, stick the incense on the ground, and that's it."
Although Song Ji's salary was full, Feeling suspicious, he still followed the instructions of this "uncle" who descended from the sky, held incense, knelt down and kowtowed three times.
Although the man spoke calmly, after the young man knelt down, his expression was solemn and extremely complicated. He looked at the ground where the young man was kowtowing, revealing deep-seated hatred.
Putting three sticks of incense on the ground, and after getting up, Song Jixin asked: "Is it okay to burn incense here?"
The man smiled and said: "It's just a walk. It’s just a ceremony, don’t take it too seriously. From now on, learn to play it by the occasion, otherwise you may be too busy in the future.”
The man stopped smiling, “But don’t forget it. This covered bridge is your...Longxing Land."
Song Jixin's lips were blue, probably due to frostbite due to the cold spring. The young man pretended to be relaxed and said: "These four words are not good. Can you use it casually?"
The man patted his belly with one hand and held the white jade belt around his waist with the other. He laughed and said: "It's natural when you get to the capital. It doesn't matter here. There are no temple dogs. There is no wild dog in the world. No one will catch me and bite me." Song Jixin asked curiously, "Are you afraid of being criticized?"
The man asked back. Said: "In the Great Li Dynasty, I have defeated invincible opponents all over the mountains and mountains. If there is no moreWouldn't something that is a little scary feel more comfortable than the person sitting on the dragon's throne? Boy, do you think this is true? "
Song Jixin thought for a while, and after hesitation, he still made up his mind and asked: "Are you hiding your strength and biding your time?" Or do you want to raise the bandits to respect themselves?
The man laughed dumbly, pointed at the sharp-edged young man, shook his head and said: "You really dare to say these rebellious words, you don't know the importance of the pros and cons. No matter if you go to the capital in the future, you should go there." There is a certain fairy mansion on the mountain to take a break from the limelight. I would like to advise you not to be so careless in your words and deeds, otherwise you will definitely be in bad luck. "
Song Jixin nodded and said: "I remember it.
The man pointed to the golden plaque, "The wind is rising and the water is rising. The wind is rising and the water is rising. I ask you, how do you do it when the water rises?" "
Song Jixin said simply: "I don't know. "
The man muttered, "Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, that is knowing. What nonsense are you talking about? Scholars are so frivolous that even when they fart, they have to make twists and turns.
However, facing the young man, this man had to be a little more elegant, "If I remember correctly, in the past three thousand years of your town, no matter how big the flood has been, the highest water level of this creek has never been higher." The tip of the sword is rusty. "
Song Jixin said puzzledly: "The old man who lives over the iron lock well in Xinghua Lane does often talk to us about this statement under the locust tree. Is there really a mystery in this?
The man pointed to the far distance, where the creek exits the mountains, and said with a smile: "Snakes have their own paths among the mountains and forests, and rats have their own paths within the houses." As for the rivers and streams, there are dragon paths. "
The man retracted his fingers and patiently explained: "In many other places in the Great Li Dynasty, there are actually many customs of hanging swords under bridges, but those copper coin swords, peach wood swords or talisman swords are often blocked. Once the mountain dragons and forest pythons entered the river, they could not stop them the second time. Even the people who hung the magic swords were shallow and could not withstand the power of the river once. Instead, they angered the dragons in the flood. , so once the flood passed, the bridge that might not have collapsed collapsed, and the sword disappeared. Only this sword in this place..."
Halfway through his words, the man fell silent.
Song Jixin resisted asking further questions.
< p>The man sighed and said: "Only this sword, from the first day it was hung under the bridge, was not aimed at any dragon crossing the river, but was used by the saint to suppress the exit of the dragon-locked well. The so-called exit is the deep pool under the bridge, which prevents the dragon's energy from overflowing and dispersing too quickly, so as not to forcefully burst this small world. "Song Jixin pointedly asked: "Is the last true dragon in the world dead?
Song Changjing smiled and said: "In that dragon-slaying battle three thousand years ago, countless Qi practitioners died. Even the saints of the three religions and the masters of the hundreds of schools also fell. Do you think they are the best?" Is everyone out of their minds, or have the saints lived a lot of years like dogs? Deliberately saved for lastA real dragon should be raised like ordinary flowers, birds, fish and insects? "
Song Jixin retorted: "Maybe it's impossible to completely kill the real dragon? The only way to do this is to delay the attack and use cannibalization. Although I don’t know the original intentions and plans of the saints thousands of years ago, I can guess that the real dragon is definitely not simple! "
After the man shook his head, he also nodded, "You are half right. The real dragon is undoubtedly dead. As for its true identity and symbolic meaning, the word 'not simple' can be said. Absolutely unbearable. "
Song Jixin hesitated to speak.
"In short, all Da Li's plans and countless efforts were just to "make things happen" and for the great cause of going south in the future. "
The man walked up the steps first and said slowly: "If you ask me why the saints of three thousand years slayed the dragon, I will not be able to answer you. But if you ask why you are left here, and why you are the noble prince who is the direct descendant of Da Li, I can tell you the truth. ”
Song Jixin lowered his head and couldn’t see his expression clearly.
If the boy didn’t ask, the man would naturally not be sentimental. When he reached the top of the steps, he turned around Facing the small town, "In the future, if you are more ambitious and have a dispute with Liu Xianyang and others, and even have murderous intentions, don't you think the price will drop?" "
Song Jixin sat at the top of the steps, looked north with the man, and asked an irrelevant question, "Our Dali is at the northernmost point of East Aquarius Continent? "
The man nodded and said: "Well, he has been regarded as a barbarian in the north for nearly a thousand years. Nowadays, it's just a hard fist that earns a little respect. "
Song Jixin still lowered his head, but his eyes were hot.
The man named Song Changjing said calmly: "When you arrive in the capital, be careful of a man nicknamed 'Xiuhu' people. "
Song Jixin was confused.
Song Changjing smiled and said: "He is now our Dali Imperial Master, and he is also the mentor of your compatriot brother. In the past fifty years, Dali has been able to grow from 70 counties and 800 cities in the founding of the country to 140 counties and 1,500 cities today. This person has half of the credit for such a huge territory expansion. "
Song Jixin suddenly looked up.
The man smiled, "Boy, you guessed it right. ”
The man was also sitting on the steps, with his hands on his knees, looking up into the distance.
Another man’s contribution to the expansion of Da Li’s territory was obvious, far away in the horizon. So close.
At this moment, Song Jixin was trembling all over and his scalp was numb.
After a long time, Song Jixin suddenly said: "Uncle, I am. He has murderous intentions towards Liu Xianyang, and he even considered making a deal with Fu Nanhua from Laolongcheng before, asking him to find a way to kill Liu Xianyang. However, I have never felt that Liu Xianyang is qualified to be equal to me, even if he has a long-standing family inheritance. I killed him because I thought I wouldn't have to pay a high price for killing him, that's all. ”
Song Changjing had someInterested, "So, you have other concerns?"
The young man touched his neck and remained silent.
————
In the middle of the night, everything is silent.
There was actually someone walking on the street in the small town. Her figure was slender and her clothes were thin. When she walked through the iron lock well in Xinghua Lane, she gritted her teeth. When she passed the archway, she was still fierce. After kicking a stone pillar, she finally came to the leafy old locust tree. According to what the old man said, this tree had lived for who knows how long, and no matter when dead branches fell, they would never be hit. People are very spiritual.
Of course, the girl who swaggered under the tree was quite dismissive of these remarks.
She opened the ancient book she borrowed from her young master and began to "search for it according to the pictures."
She called out names one by one, like a general preparing troops on the battlefield.
When her mouth became dry, she stopped the roll call, holding the local county chronicle that Song Jixin called "the book outside the wall" in one hand, pointing to the locust tree with one hand, and raising her head to curse Said: "It's shameless to show your face, isn't it?!"
Quietly, there was no reply.
The girl immediately stamped her feet and yelled, "There are four surnames and ten tribes, let's start with the four surnames, Lu, Li, Zhao and Song. You four surnames, please be more knowledgeable. Hurry up and drop at least three locust leaves for each surname. One less locust leaf, and I, Wang Zhu, will never end up with you in my life! After I go out, I will take care of you one by one. It doesn’t matter whether you are young and strong, or you are women and children. Anyway, you are all a bunch of ignorant wolves, ungrateful and reasonable. !”
The girl was panting and holding her waist with one hand, still cursing, “Who is the biggest contributor to the Great Li Dynasty’s surname? Are you pretending to be stupid with me? Believe it or not, as soon as I go out, the surname of Da Li will be anything, but not Song!"
"Two surnames for each of the ten major families? Huaiye, other common surnames, at least one, of course, if anyone has the courage to bet, the more the better, I will definitely let him make a lot of money later!"
"The Cao family among the ten clans, the more the better! Yes, it’s the Cao family that gave birth to the bastard Cao Xi! This bastard didn’t do anything disgusting back then, but he was full of bad things when he wore crotchless pants! In addition to the two locust leaves, you must give me one more as a supplement. , otherwise I, Wang Zhu, will make Cao Xi extinct after leaving! How dare you urinate into the well? How did such a wicked man become the true king of a country?"
"Also! That Xie family, there is a guy named Xie Shi in your family, right? Well, I have some friendship with him. If it weren't for me, he would have been washed away by the flood, so you don't give me an extra locust leaf. Does that make sense?"
In the distance, Qi Jingchun quietly looked at the scene under the locust tree without saying a word.
For example, a strict father who only knows how to teach his children feels helpless when dealing with a child who gets older and becomes more arrogant.
Just when he saw the girl flipping through the book, he suddenlyThe last pieces of locust leaves that left the branches fell one after another to the pages of the book, and Qi Jingchun felt a little relieved.
Thousands of words were said, but Qi Jingchun finally just murmured: "Be good after leaving home."
The girl seemed to feel something and suddenly looked back.
There was no sign of anyone.
The girl felt lost, shook her head, stopped thinking deeply, and turned back to scold Huai.
