The green mountains are pink and white, and the twilight is all around.
A solitary grave stood there, a handful of paper money was thrown out, and it was blown away by the mountain wind in an instant. Miao people's funerals are complicated. They first announce the funeral, then hold up the funeral, and then choose a day for burial.
Fu Yunzhao's grandmother was a witch in the village and was not treated favorably by others. Fu Yunzhao was annoyed by those who looked at Ada, so naturally he did not bother to report his death. He restrained Ada that day and kept her spirit inactive for three days. She was found dead early this morning. funeral.
No one to carry the coffin?
It happened to be a cloudy day with a drizzle, so Fu Yunzhao waved the apricot-yellow flag, and six fierce soldiers jumped out from the apricot-yellow flag and carried Ada's coffin into the mountain.
When the Miao people are mourning, they have to walk in a straight line, climb over mountains and wade through water. Even mountains of swords and seas of fire cannot stop them.
Six rampant soldiers carried the coffin, walking all the way through mountains and rivers, as if they were walking on level ground. The cemetery was personally selected by Fu Yunzhao. The hillside faces the sun, with the gurgling Longtan River below. If the mountain road had not been difficult to travel, I am afraid that it would have been circled by a wealthy family and used as an ancestral tomb. .
Another stack of paper money was thrown over, and the paper money that had been blown away by the mountain wind fell on the grave mound one after another.
Fu Yunzhao knelt in front of the grave, his face just blank. He had cried all his tears in the past few days, and some of them only had memories of Ada's past.
"Ada always liked to sit here and watch me pick herbs." Fu Yunzhao suddenly said: "At that time, she said that if she died, she must be buried here."
Fei Jingting sighed, walked over and put his hand on Fu Yunzhao's shoulder.
"Death is like a lamp going out. I don't want to see you so sad, Ada. If you continue to be sad, I'm afraid Ada's spirit in heaven will not feel at ease."
"Ha," Fu Yunzhao smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Jingting, don't forget that I also have yin and yang eyes. I watched Ada's soul dissipate with my own eyes that day. Where is the spirit in the sky?"
Fei Jingting responded in silence, not knowing what to say. He also didn't know how practitioners in ancient times viewed the death of their loved ones, let alone whether the souls of people at that time would dissipate when they died.
The six paths of reincarnation of Buddhism and the five reincarnations of Taoism are presumably worlds created by those with great power. As time goes by, all the six paths of Buddhism and the five paths of Taoism have dissipated, right? It’s like Ada’s soul.
Fei Jingting secretly lamented that without being a true immortal, he would be nothing more than a handful of loess after all.
Fu Yunzhao sniffed and said: "I have practiced Taoism for eighteen years, but in the end I can't even save Ada. Brother Jingting, I only have you left."
Fei Jingting lowered his body, gently held Fu Yunzhao in his arms, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I won't leave you."
"Um."
Zhang Leyao had been standing aside in silence. Hearing the movement below, he turned his head and glanced, then walked over and said, "Your uncle is here."
Fu Yunzhao suddenly frowned: "What is he doing here again?"
"Let me go and take a look." Fu Yunzhao was already confused at this time, and Fei Jingting was afraid that she would do something that he would regret. It would only hurt people's lives, but if it hurts Taoism in the future, it would be more than worth the gain. Already.
Fei Jingting winked at Zhang Leyao, who nodded knowingly and stopped to look after Fu Yunzhao. Fei Jingting quickly walked to the edge of the cliff.
He looked down and saw that the man was indeed Fu Yunzhao's uncle. He floated down, stopped in front of the man and asked, "Do you have anything to do with Yunzhao?"
"Niece...niece-in-law, you see that Luang Po passed away without saying a word, so that I, as an uncle, can help with the work."
Fei Jingting said in a calm tone: "I'm interested, but we can do it ourselves. You'd better talk about it if you have something to say."
"Um..." Fu Yunzhao's uncle hesitated, glanced at Fei Jingting, and swallowed timidly: "No, there's nothing else. Are you and Yunzhao leaving? Come home when you leave.
One trip.”
"Well, let's talk about it later."
Fu Yunzhao's uncle didn't say anything after all, and walked back three times.
Returning to the cliff, it was not until the sun completely set that Fu Yunzhao came to his senses. He kowtowed heavily to the tomb, stood up and said, "Ada, I'm going back, and then I'll go back to Jinmen with brother Jingting. I won't have much chance to come back in the future."
Look at you, when I succeed in cultivation and gain great abilities, I will definitely find Ada’s soul and reshape Ada’s body.”
Fu Yunzhao stood up, staggered, took Fei Jingting's hand, and the three of them returned to the village.
Another day later, Fu Yunzhao took Fei Jingting to meet the Flower Bear. This panda is huge and strong, not comparable to the soft and cute pandas in Qinling Mountains. This guy has evolved into a vegetarian, and is either doing food or on the way to do it every day.
.
Every time to see Fu Yunzhao, Hua Xiong would always bring a bundle of arrow bamboo, because the bamboo in the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain was inedible.
Fu Yunzhao has been with Hua Xiong for who knows how many years. He is very familiar with Hua Xiong. He knows Hua Xiong's recipes very well. He eats young bamboo shoots in spring, arrow bamboo from April, buds in summer, and starts digging bamboo shoots in winter.
While talking, Fu Yunzhao used vines to make a basket for the panda. The basket was big enough for the panda to hold it with one hand.
The panda was very happy after taking the basket. Seeing that Fu Yunzhao was a little sad, he rolled around trying to make her happy.
Without the heartless laughter of the past, Fu Yunzhao just smiled softly, rubbed Hua Xiong's head twice and said: "Hua Xiong, I have to leave. You have to take good care of yourself. Unfortunately, the winter in Jinmen is too long.
If I take you there, you will starve."
‘鞞鞥~’
"You have to be careful from now on. There are many good people in this world, and there are also many bad ones. Don't let anyone catch you and skin you."
‘鞥…’
"Okay, I'm leaving."
The flower bear seemed to understand, and was extremely reluctant to part with him. He followed Fu Yunzhao all the way to the edge of the forest, and then reluctantly waved goodbye.
Before leaving on this day, Fu Yunzhao calmed down and finally went to his uncle's house. When he came back, his expression remained unchanged and unchanged.
The three of them walked out of the village, and Fei Jingting turned back to take one last look at Longmen Village. No one greeted them when they arrived, but when they left, some people who had received the favor spontaneously saw them off.
The Miao people in the village are both simple and depressed. When they are simple, if you treat them well, they will respect you from the bottom of their hearts; when they are ignorant, they deliberately alienate Fu Yunzhao just because of the name of a witch.
I think there is no hope for the Republic of China. After thirty years, I hope that the people in the village will not lose their true intentions after receiving education.
After coming out of the village, Fei Jingting asked, "What does your uncle want from you?"
"What else can I do? Seeing that you are well-dressed, I just want to take advantage of you."
"You refused?"
But Fu Yunzhao said: "I gave him twenty oceans, and I thought that I would no longer have this relative."
Thousands of miles apart, the hardest thing to let go of is hometown. What is hometown? Nostalgia, nostalgic feeling. Without nostalgia, without people to remember, it is no longer hometown. Fu Yunzhao never looked back at Longmen Village, fearing that from now on,
This place of peace of mind is my hometown.
After walking on the mountain road for several days, they arrived at the provincial capital. Fei Jingting bought a newspaper and realized that there was a lot of disturbance from the outside world, especially the land of Bashu, which was reduced to a pot of porridge.
Tang Jiyao's Yunnan Army launched an offensive in late May, which went very smoothly at first. By June 10, they had captured Rongcheng.
Xiong Kewu's Sichuan army retreated to Baoning. It is said that the Yunnan army suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Rongcheng, with no less than 5,000 casualties.
At this moment, the warlords and military leaders don't talk about not taking advantage of the masses. When the Yunnan Army invades Chengdu, they naturally have to collect supplies on the spot. The distributed pay is just that. The Yunnan Army has loose military discipline and bullies men and women.
He did many bad things, causing the people of Bashu to boil with resentment.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will understand that the Yunnan Army, the Guizhou Army, and the Sichuan Army, which are local armies with extremely strong regional colors, naturally fight locally to protect the home and the people, and military discipline will be stricter. Once they go out to fight, they will harm the people.
It's no worse than my Daqing.
It seems that Bashu will not be able to win for a while, and at the same time, there are also war clouds in the north.
After Yuan Shikai's death, Beiyang seemed to have restored its temporary convention, but in fact the real power had always been in the hands of the Beiyang warlords headed by Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang.
The First World War changed the world structure, and China naturally could not live alone. Taking advantage of the fact that the European and American powers had no time to look eastward, Japan borrowed money from Nishihara to support Duan Qirui of the Anhui Clan, and later signed the "Military Agreement for the Army to Jointly Defend Enemy Forces" and the "Navy to Jointly Defend Enemy Forces".
Military Agreement" and continue to expand interests in China.
After the First World War was over, the European and American powers turned around and saw that a country that had lived a good life had swallowed up such huge benefits without saying a word. How could it be tolerated?
Countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States can tolerate Japan's expansion of rights and interests in Northeast China, but they never want to watch Japan's power move south.
At the same time, warlords from other domestic factions had long been dissatisfied with Duan Qirui. After a little encouragement from Britain and the United States, they hit it off.
In late May, Wu Peifu's troops withdrew from southern Hunan, arrived in Hankou on the 31st, and then moved to Henan, stationed along the Beijing-Hankou Railway.
Cao Kun sent troops to monitor the Dezhou Arsenal, and Duan Qirui also hurriedly mobilized Xu Shuzheng's northwest frontier troops to garrison near the capital.
In mid-June, Wu Peifu arrived in Baoding and met with Cao Kun together with representatives from the Soviet and Feng provinces. At this time, the war camps were completely determined. On one side were the Anhui warlords headed by Duan Qirui, and on the other were Cao Kun, Wu Peifu, and others.
The Zhili clique and Feng clique warlords headed by Zhang Zuolin.
There were various opinions in the newspapers, some called for a negotiated settlement, and some clamored for the removal of the warlords' military power, but these people only talked about it. Whether to fight, when to fight, and how to fight all depended on the decisions of the three warlords.
Worried that Tianjin would be affected by the war, Fei Jingting and his party accelerated their formation and headed down the Yangtze River to Jinling. After resting for a day, they took the train north to Tianmen on the second day.
At this time, the situation was already very tense. Duan Qirui organized the Dingguo Army, Wu Peifu began to move north, and Cao Kun's troops moved from Baoding to Gaobeidian.
Zhang Dashuai is still in harmony with Xini, maintaining a neutral attitude on the surface, but in fact, he has been secretly connected with Cao Kun, who is directly connected to him.
The train traveled for a day, and on the second day Fei Jingting got the news from the newspaper. In order to deal with the Dingguo army, Cao Kun directly organized a rebel army in Jinmen.
The war between Zhijiang and Anhui is about to break out.
