The grass is smoked, the wind is warm, the sky is high and the clouds are light.
An official road starts from Dingding Gate and stretches along Luoshui to the southwest. It passes through Xianglu Mountain, Lingshan Col and other places, and after traveling for more than 800 miles, you can reach Chang'an.
On that day, Xiaoman kidnapped Yuan Jineng and rode with Li Shaochen at night to rush to Chang'an. They took this official road to the south. This official road is close to Luoshui and has beautiful mountains and rivers.
The scenery is infinite, and boats, ships, carriages and horses can all travel unimpeded.
Later, after the two men successfully threatened Yuan Zai on the Qujiang Pond, they crossed the Wei River, looked at Fenglingdu, bypassed Hangu Pass, and returned to Luoyang along the southern foot of Mang Mountain. This was the first time between the two capitals.
The North Road between the two has high mountains and dangerous valleys, and bandit villages are rampant. On weekdays, few officials and people pass by.
Near midnight, on the official road two or three miles east of Xianglu Village, there were people and dust everywhere.
A gust of warm wind swept by, and the yellow dust flew away, and a stream of people like a giant python appeared clearly on the official road. The crowd was made up of hundreds of congregants, almost all dressed in crimson.
The red lotus robes were all covered with moon-white scarves, forming a winding and mighty red stream.
The red stream cuts through the green mountains and looks very eye-catching.
There are a few stars of purple in the red stream, which are Mage in the three Zoroastrian temples in Luoyang City. Mage is wearing a purple lotus robe and keeps going back and forth in the red stream, checking for any stragglers and singing from time to time.
Chant:
"With the blessing of the Lord God, the saint travels eastward. Only benevolence can be shown, and virtue is the only pursuit. The holy law is Boao, and it is spread to all states. Follow good like flow, hate evil like hatred..."
When Mage sings a sentence, the Zoroastrian believers will follow suit. The sound waves rush to the Luoshui River, drumming in the mountains on both sides, layer upon layer, and last for a long time. It can be heard even from several miles away.
Be clear.
Just as the congregation was singing hymns with great momentum, behind the red python-like flow of people, a figure also wearing a crimson lotus robe quickly approached.
This figure has strong legs and is as light as a swallow. He did not stir up much noise. As he ran, he shouted: "Kangmage, Kangmage! Wait for me! I overslept this morning and just went to the Zoroastrian Temple.
Only then did I know that the brothers in the sect had already left..."
When a man in purple robe heard the shouts in the red stream, he immediately stopped and split the red stream into two streams. It was the Xiuxianfang Zoroastrian Temple Ma Gekang Saiin.
Kang Saiyin waited for the man to arrive, then smiled lightly and said: "Xi boy, I have told you long ago that if you overslept, you don't have to come here."
The person who came was Yang Chaoxi, who was recovering from serious injuries. Because he ran too fast and too hastily, a layer of sweat began to form on his forehead: "How can that be done? My father said that no matter which god you believe in, you must be sincere.
Ling. Everyone came to welcome the Saint, but I didn’t come. Shouldn’t I be blamed by the Lord of God?”
After hearing this, Kang Mage smiled knowingly, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seemed to have deepened a lot: "Now that you've come, just make peace with it and just follow the team!"
Yang Zhaoxi breathed a sigh of relief and consciously stayed at the end of the red stream. As he walked, he imitated other believers and sang hymns loudly. What was floating in his mind was the scene when he got up early today. He couldn't help but
Getting confused again:
Since Tongyuanqu was seriously injured and fell into coma, Yang Chaoxi stayed in Fang Mansion.
In the confusion, it seemed that many people came and went, cleaning his wounds, applying medicine, and wrapping them in white gauze. There were also sounds of exclamation, persuasion, shouting, and crying...
The sound disturbed him.
Later, as my consciousness gradually recovered, I vaguely felt that there was a woman who seemed to have never left the bed. At first, I just fed some soup, and gradually added meat porridge, until I scrubbed and changed dressings, and collected feces and urine... It can be said that she was taken care of carefully and considerately.
He was spared the torture of "golden spasm".
After waking up for the first time, the breath in the body gradually stabilized. Every time he exhaled and breathed in, the innate and acquired Qi surged rapidly along the path of the Little Zhoutian.
Some of the two qi overflowed from the pores and wandered through the skin of his body. When it encountered a large or small wound, it would wrap up the wound like a swarm of ants attaching a mutton. The purple-gold color precipitated from the two qi and covered the cracked skin.
, slowly warm these wounds.
On the way, the woman and the servants in the mansion worked together to change the golden sore medicine for him twice. Seeing his rapid recovery, apart from being a little flushed, she couldn't help but marvel.
On the early morning of March 15th, after the rooster crowed three times in Fang Mansion, rustling sounds began to be heard in the courtyard. The servants were sweeping, boiling water, decoction, and cooking... everything was busy but not chaotic, and orderly.
.
Yang Chaoxi had been feeling groggy for several days. After hearing the rooster crow, his mind immediately became clear.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the woman in front of the bed was in a panic: her lips were biting tightly, her head was lowered, her cheeks were flushed, and her soft jade hands were hidden behind her back, as if she was grasping something invisible.
.
"Junior sister Qin, I have worked hard for you these past few days! If you hadn't left the bed and looked after me day and night, I...how could I have recovered so quickly?" Yang Chaoxi knew what she was thinking, but he didn't know what to say. But she had been there for days.
He took good care of her, and the gratitude in his heart was beyond words.
"It's all, it's nothing! I also take care of the cats I raise at home like this when they are sick...Senior Brother Yang, are you really okay? Don't try to be brave for a moment and leave the root of the disease." Yue Xiko
Tan Qing then raised his head a little higher, but his eyes looked left and right, not daring to look at him.
Yang Zhaoxi sat up, her mind restrained, her thoughts dispersed, and she "looked inward" carefully before she smiled and said: "They were all flesh wounds, and they are all healed now! It's just your cat,
Que'er, I think it's more expensive."
Hearing this, Qin Qing smiled sweetly: "That's natural! My cat Queer is a strange species brought by Hu merchants from the Western Regions. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it!"
Yang Zhaoxi was about to echo a few words, but suddenly she slapped her thigh: "Junior sister Qin, how many days have I been sleeping? What day is it again today?"
Seeing that he was speaking solemnly, Qin Qing replied smoothly: "Today is March 15th. Senior Brother Yang has stayed with Sister Tang for three days since March 12th. Is there anything wrong?"
Yang Chaoxi kept complaining: "Oh no! Oh no! Luoyang Gongmen has secretly gathered people, and today they are going to go ten miles west of the city to prevent the Zoroastrian saint from entering the city. Once the tragedy of Tongyuan Canal happened, these Gongmen people will not do anything.
Let’s give it up! In addition, Taiwei Palace and the powerful families are adding fuel to the flames, I’m afraid it will be another tragic disaster... No, I have to go and have a look!"
Having said that, Yang Zhaoxi had already gotten out of bed and was about to put on his boots after finding them. Tan Qing grabbed him and said, "Don't go! Senior Brother Yang, you were seriously injured. How can you go to that place of right and wrong again?"
Yang Zhaoxi immediately said anxiously: "There's still time now! We're late, and I'm afraid the rangers on both sides will have to collect the bodies again... Let go of senior brother quickly. Eh? What did you get?"
Tan Qing's pretty face turned red immediately. It turned out that in his panic just now, he had forgotten that he was still holding something in his hands. At this moment, he was suddenly exposed, and he was stammering and speechless.
Yang Chaoxi wondered: "The golden scissors make sense. They can cut the white gauze tied into tight knots. What is this lock of hair for? Why does it look like mine..."
Tan Qing couldn't defend himself for a moment, so he could only stand and angrily said: "Where is your hair? I, I can cut my own hair for fun, can't I? You can do whatever you want, life or death has nothing to do with me..." As he spoke, his eyes
It became red again.
Yang Chaoxi was impatient and did not think about it. Seeing that Tan Qing no longer stopped him, he quickly took off his black leather Liuhe boots, picked up a baggage, and ran out of the guest room like flying. Among the baggage was the bag he had left a few days ago.
The teaching uniform that Kang Magna begged for.
Tan Qing looked at the golden scissors and a lock of hair in his hand, and couldn't help but burst into tears. Large crystal beads fell down, landed on his fingertips, and broke into jade flowers, but they could not relieve the worry and sadness in his heart. "
The bickering and quarreling so early in the morning, you two
They are really enemies. Stop crying! I just saw Junior Brother Yang lively and energetic, I should be happy... By the way, Junior Brother Yang is in such a hurry, where are you going?" Jing Xiko, Tang Juan, wearing a red undergarment and emerald skirt, walked in.
He was also holding three-year-old Fang Zijian in his hand.
Fang Zijian looked up at his mother, and said timidly: "Aunt, aunt... don't cry, mother said, say... you don't like to cry, you are a man."
Tan Qing suddenly broke down in tears and smiled. She stepped forward and picked up the boy Jian, pinching his pink nose: "Aunt Qing is not crying. There is dust in her eyes. Just wash your face..."
Tang Juan picked up the golden scissors and a lock of hair from the couch, held them in front of Tan Qing, and said with a half-smile: "Where did you learn the witchcraft, junior sister? Do you want junior brother Yang to be devoted to you from now on?"
Tan Qing was greatly embarrassed, and pretended to tease Xiao Zijian for a while before hesitatingly said: "Before leaving that day, Divine Doctor Wang said yes, there was a secret recipe in "Pillow Chinese Prescriptions", all he had to do was... take the one you like.
A person...take twenty hairs, burn the ashes into wine, and drink it while it's hot. Then the person can...change his mind and focus on himself..."
When Tan Qing mentioned "the person she likes", her voice was already weak. After she finished telling the whole story, her heart felt a hint of sweetness after succeeding. It was as if once she took the secret recipe, Senior Brother Yang would immediately return to her home.
She will never leave her side again.
After Tang Juan heard this, she couldn't laugh or cry, and she couldn't bear to expose the junior sister's painstaking little trick. She could only smile and nod her head and said: "Although I haven't read the "Pillow Chinese Recipe" carefully, but I think it's Miao Ying's master Sun Simiao's method.
Does that make sense?"
Qin Qingying pursed her lips lightly and said firmly: "Divine Doctor Wang also said, 'I would rather believe that something exists than believe that it doesn't exist.' How can we compare to the wisdom of our predecessors!"
But he said that Yang Zhaoxi left Tongtuofang, crossed Xinzhong Bridge, and found a large clump of dense reeds by the Luoshui River. After three times, five divided by two, he put on the crimson lotus robe and the moon-white face mask.
, then ran towards Xiuxianfang.
He was recovering from a serious injury, but there were actually several large wounds that had not yet completely healed. At this time, when he used the "One Reed Crossing the River" technique, he suddenly felt that there was still a dull pain in several wounds.
Fortunately, the recovery of his muscles and bones did not affect his running. Yang Chaoxi's body was like an afterimage, and he kept running without stopping. He was getting more and more energetic! In less than a cup of tea, he rushed into Xiuxianfang and went straight to the archway to pay his respects.
In front of the Zoroastrian Temple in the west.
After knocking on the door for a long time, no one responded. Yang Zhaoxi plucked up the courage and jumped up towards the courtyard wall that was more than ten feet high. He saw that the courtyard was neat and tidy, the fire altar was still there, but there was no one there.
While he was stunned, two black figures sprang out from the corridor in the backyard of the Zoroastrian Temple, and struck at Yang Chaoxi as fast as an arrow!
When he reacted, he saw the huge heads of two black dogs already close at hand! The scarlet tongues were hanging on the sharp canine teeth, which was particularly shocking!
Yang Zhaoxi hurriedly turned over, narrowly avoiding the bite of the black dog, and her body fell gently to the ground. She couldn't help but think of the scene when she was chased by a pack of dogs in Xiong'er Mountain, and she was still frightened.
Fortunately, the two black dogs jumped up suddenly. They had exhausted most of their strength and could no longer jump up. They could only be trapped in the wooden door and barked.
Yang Chaoxi knew that the Zoroastrian believers must have set off, so he ignored the two dogs. After running out of Luoyang City with his feet together, he chased southwest along the official road. Finally, when the large group of believers arrived in front of Xianglu Mountain,
Caught up with Kang Mage and others.
Yang Zhaoxi stayed behind the red stream, walking step by step, but in his mind, he recalled bit by bit all the things that Tan Qing had treated him in the past few days. His heart was full of mixed feelings, and he didn't know what to choose...
Suddenly, the team stagnated and seemed to have stopped. Yang Zhaoxi was unable to catch up and almost hit the believer in front. However, he heard a burst of angry voice coming from far in front of Hongliu:
"The Zoroastrian monster! You are completely unconscionable! Kill my father and brother, and you will pay with blood!"
