Zhenlongshan is to step into the deep valley in front of Sichuan and Sichuan. The valley is deep and the mountains are high and the road is difficult to walk.
According to legend, a thousand years ago, the dragon rioted the earth, and the Taoist real person was ordered to use a sword to subdue the demons and suppress the dragon corpse to this, and to level the surging river water, hence the name.
In early July, plum rains are continuous and intermittent.
Today, the sky is about to clear up.
However, in a blink of an eye, another magnificent mountain rain trapped passers-by in the tea shed in front of the mountain.
At this time, the curtain was lifted up again, and a faint raindrop welcomed new guests.
The visitor was a man with a big cheek, carrying an extremely thick black iron box, with wide robe and big sleeves, eyebrows, hair and beard all growing randomly like weeds, which was quite messy.
The black iron box was half open and half closed, and I could vaguely see the sword with a bit of blood red.
"Shopkeeper-"
The man sat down casually and gently removed the black iron sword box. The earth trembled a little, as if it weighed tens of millions of pounds.
"Come on a bowl of clear tea. If there is wine, warm two bowls of wine."
The owner was about to agree, but there was a crisp bell ringing outside and the curtain was lifted up again.
The tall and mighty young man was wearing dark gold light armor, like a general in the army and a wanderer in the world. He was handsome, outstanding and masculine.
In his hand, he was holding a good horse that was as dark as ink, white hooves as snow, and like a unicorn, which was quite extraordinary.
"Shopkeeper, have a pot of tea. In addition, my black smoke beast is a meat-eating person. I'm going to order pigs to go into the water. Everything is normal." Chen Xiu spoke indifferently.
The owner of the shop had a hint of embarrassment on his face: "Objectively, there is tea. But the pigs are gone! Nowadays, people are not full, so where can they eat for war horses?"
His tone was very tactful, and there was a little worry in his eyes.
The world is not peaceful today. This man looks like a general in the army, and most of them are not a kind person.
"Since that's the case, then let's get a fodder." Chen Xiu frowned slightly.
Has the country of Tianfu fallen to this point?
At this moment, a scream sounded: "River, there are people in the river"
Chen Xiu raised his eyes slightly, and what came into his eyes was the deep and turbid yellow stream, a small body rolling among the turbid waves.
The water waves swayed, and the corpse turned over, revealing a dark and ferocious little face!
It's a child!
"Ha, it turns out to be a wedding, don't care." The old shop owner exhaled slightly, as if he was relieved.
"Shopkeeper, what does this [favoring for a marriage] mean?" A slightly clear word rang out.
The owner's eyes fell on the tall figure with extraordinary temperament and said slowly: "Young Master, you shouldn't be from me from Sichuan, right?"
"I am an official of the Shendu court. I went to Sichuan and Shu for my orders." Chen Xiu shook the tea bowl gently, as if he had noticed something, and suddenly laughed out loud.
Five fingers swept across the waist, and there was a wine gourd hanging upside down, drinking wine on your own.
"No wonder." The owner of the shop explained: "This is the folk custom here. The river under our feet is called [Jiaoxi], which stretches for thousands of miles, goes out of mountains and water, and reaches the land in Shu. In this river, it is located in the river.
Ah, it is said that the Dragon King is alive, named [Red King of Protecting the Lucky], which can eliminate disasters and prevent fortunes. Therefore, people with power and power will buy children who die prematurely and are difficult to raise and send them to the river.
The name is to regard the Dragon Prince as a relative to the family to resolve disasters. The saying [Send a relative] spread from this."
The old man said it tactfully, but everyone knew it in his heart that it was clearly a matter of doing nothing without reason in the name of ghosts and gods.
"In today's world, it's great to have a saying of [sending off a marriage]." Self-deprecating words sounded.
A scholar in a gorgeous dress had a drunken eyes, as if he was a little confused, showing a helpless and numb smile.
"You all know that there was a severe drought in Shu two years ago, so that there was no harvest! It's a pity that the imperial court still imposed heavy taxes and had a lot of taxes. It even took people from all directions to dig the Grand Canal. So, this huge
The land of Sichuan and Sichuan is empty, with nine out of ten families and life, and only wealthy families are spared from the misfortune. At that time, I wonder how many people sold their children and wives, thinking that there were no children to buy them for you to give away!"
The scholar sneered, and a little despair appeared: "Since last year, refugees have been everywhere, and treasons have risen. [King of Nanyang] Zhu Can attacked the city and broke the pass, killed people like hell, and even ate people and ate their children!
The city, whether it is pond or street, is messy, but it is very clean, nothing, including the corpse! Why? Because it was eaten up!!!”
His words were like thunder, making the huge tea stall extremely quiet.
"Walking out of the city, there were rugged bones all the way. In the water by the river, I often saw corpses carrying them! The boatman caught ashore, guess what it was! It turned out that it was the neat family of old and young people.
, They all jumped into the water and died! We have been here for so long, and there is only a child's corpse on the river, and it is still a [send to the marriage]! You said, shouldn't you be happy?"
After saying that, the scholar laughed almost madly and poured his wine on his side.
There was a bit of hilariousness and joking in his words, but the deep meaning in his words was so heavy that no one could interfere with it.
yes!
Nowadays, rebellions are everywhere and refugees are everywhere. The man-eating demon king [King of Nanyang] dominates the side, such a chaotic situation.
I should really be happy that I can still see [brides].
There was a little silence between the tea sheds.
"Young Master, I remember saying that you are a high-ranking official of the Shendu court. At the order of Your Majesty, you entered our Sichuan. What's the purpose?" Seeing that the atmosphere was quite depressing, the owner of the shop hurriedly turned around.
At this moment, not only the scholars, but also the silent man raised his head slightly.
"Although the emperor's order cannot be passed on lightly, there is nothing worth hiding here. Your Majesty sent me to pass the orders in Sichuan and Shu to suppress the rebels and kill the bandits, and to the [King of Nanyang]
The head, blood sacrificed to the gods in Shu." Chen Xiu spoke with a faint smile.
The huge tea shed was silent again.
"Dao, is the court really going to send troops?" The scholar seemed a little excited.
Chen Xiu didn't say anything, but his eyes fell on the owner who seemed to be in a hurry and said lightly: "Shopkeeper, this is the intersection of ancient roads, and before the mountain road entering Shu. Your tea shed is placed in
I'm afraid I've made a lot of money here, right?"
"Small business is nothing more than a waste of time." The owner sighed softly.
"Is that so? I think it's not necessarily true? The tea here is the famous Qingcheng Xueya. This is a famous camellia, which is dedicated to the wealthy families of the imperial court. In the market, it's about ten gold and half a tael." Chen
Wow shook the tea bowl and said with a faint smile: "There should be some ingredients inside, right?"
"I guess it should be the poison of Fengjue Gangqi."
He said meaningfully: "I am very curious now. Are you from [King of Nanyang] or the wealthy family in Sichuan and Shu?"
