Where is my home in the Qinling Mountains where the clouds are crossing? The snow is holding the blue gate and the horses are unable to move forward.
As a typical dividing line between north and south, Zhao Changhe flew north and was fortunate enough to see a mountain range separating the north and the south. There was no snow in the south and a snowy scene in the north.
After flying across the mountains, a chill immediately hit him. Even Wu Zui couldn't help but shudder and shrank a little.
Zhao Changhe was quite touched when he saw the snow-covered scenery in front of him.
It was the first snowfall when I came back from overseas. Even now, winter has not completely passed, but it already feels like several years have passed. How many things have happened in the past two or three months...
Situ said with a smile that the deeper some people practice, the more their hair will turn gray...
It was a joke, of course, it is impossible to have gray hair, but there is truth in the joke. In the past two or three months, Zhao Changhe, wearing a cloak and snow, traveled all over China, fighting with swords and swords everywhere, and has been bloody till now, during which time he has also been mixed with
So much thinking, so much planning. An ordinary person would really not be able to bear it.
And the only area that I have never stepped into is now right in front of me.
Guanlong...Chang'an.
This place name is very able to evoke the feelings of this world. Especially when combined with the surname of the Li family, the feeling is even more prominent. Zhao Changhe was not willing to treat them as enemies for a time.
But it is obvious that King Cui Langya of Qinghe in this world is an OEM, and so is Li of Longxi. It is completely different from what he knows, and there is no need for any special feelings.
What remains unchanged is that Chang'an is still the ancient capital of many dynasties in this world. Except for Xia Longyuan, who decided to make his capital the capital of today's Gyeongsang Province because of the spirit of Beimang, most dynasties in the past chose Chang'an. After all, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and whatever is suitable is still suitable.
And...this place is not blind, there are locals leading the way.
Yue Hongling herself.
This is a big girl from Shaanxi. Fortunately, her accent is not Erdi Shenlie.
"Luoxia Villa is not far from the foot of Huashan Mountain, did you know?" Yue Hongling was asking.
Zhao Changhe was a little embarrassed: "I know."
I knew it but never thought of coming over to take a look. I was a little embarrassed to be caught doing something. But I was really too busy, how could I have such free time... She, Yue Hongling, didn't know how long it had been since she returned home.
Speaking of Huashan and having the surname Yue, the lucky draw is not very good. Of course, it does not refer to Yue Hongling, but to her master Yue Fenghua.
Yue Hongling was a disaster victim at the foot of Huashan Mountain. Her family died early and she was adopted by Yue Fenghua. She gave him the surname Yue, and no one knew her real surname. Because of this, no matter how she wandered around the world, Yue Hongling still had a natal family, so she had previously said that she would let Zhao Changhe
Go and propose marriage.
Luoxia Villa is just a third-rate small sect. Yue Fenghua only has seven levels of entrance hall, which is not even comparable to Luo Family Villa, but he became famous because of the birth of Yue Hongling. At the beginning, the owner of Luo Villa told Luo Zhenwu that if he wanted to get Yue Hongling
, maybe we can start from her sect, for example, threaten her sect.
In fact, this was due to the lack of investigation and research by the owner of Luo Village, so he took it for granted.
There are so many people who think this way, but no one implements it, so why? What's more, Yue Hongling is a knight in the world, enemies are everywhere, but no one bothers Luoxia Villa.
Because Yue Hongling had already been "expelled from the school" on the surface. A long time ago, not long after the underage Xiao Hongling debuted, she killed the evil servant of the Wei family in Longxi. Yue Fenghua could not hold back and had to expel him.
After leaving school to separate the relationship, this is the reason why Yue Hongling has never returned home. Since the matter was minor, everyone was evicted. The Wei family did not cause trouble to Luoxia Villa anymore, and it was impossible to hunt down a little girl all over the world.
, the matter passed directly.
However, the so-called "expulsion from the master", Yue Fenghua has said to his disciples from the beginning that this is a preservation strategy, and we will treat you as a disciple before you come back after the limelight has passed. Having said this, Yue Hongling also knows that she has just left the world.
His recklessness brought trouble to the master, so he naturally would not blame the master. After bidding farewell to the master in tears, he still regarded this place as his mother's home.
It is unknown what Yue Fenghua was thinking in his heart. Objectively speaking, Yue Hongling no longer had any worries and became the most famous heroine of the younger generation. The stain of being expelled from the school is not a stain. Everyone knows that it is a knight-errant.
The burden is caused by righteousness, not by doing bad things.
Her enemies generally don't want to cause trouble at Luoxia Villa. Who knows if she hates her master, but looking for trouble is just helping her to vent her anger? So Luoxia Villa has been peaceful and comfortable so far, and nothing has happened.
Later, the higher Yue Hongling's practice became, the more famous she became, and everyone's relationship became different again.
When Yue Hongling was in the seventh or eighth level of the Mysterious Entrance and ranked in the top ten of Qianlong, he was already a world-renowned martial arts master. You must know that there were only a hundred or so secret breaker in the world at that time. The head of the Wei family was also at the ninth level of the Mysterious Entrance.
Yue Hongling is almost on an equal footing with him at such a young age, and her potential is still high. Of course, a head of a family with a normal IQ will not dwell on such trivial matters as killing a servant a few years ago (in fact, he may not have known it at the time).
On the contrary, it should be expressed through "affiliation", which means that you are generous and win over, and you can form a good relationship with a Qianlong genius.
So Wei Changming, the head of the Wei family, began to call Yue Fenghua brothers, saying that this is the sect supported by our Wei family. Yue Fenghua no longer had any worries and began to spread the word to the world that he was a disciple from our villa. Yue Hongling also gave him face and began to call himself a disciple to the outside world.
"Luoxia Villa Yue Hongling", Luoxia Villa has really become famous since then, and people who come to learn from it are like crucian carp crossing the river, and it has developed into the first sect in Huashan. Due to the skyrocketing resources, Yue Fenghua himself has gradually built up the entrance hall in recent years.
Nine levels, true master and disciple are valuable.
When Master Luo thought he could threaten his master's sect, the family had already changed from what it used to be, and Master Luo really couldn't threaten him.
If things go as usual, Yue Hongling can return to her hometown in fine clothes, and the villagers will just beat gongs and drums to welcome her.
But now it's a bit subtle - Zhao Changhe is the King of Zhao in the Han Dynasty and is hostile to Guanlong. The relationship between Yue Hongling and Zhao Changhe usually does not necessarily affect the situation of Luoxia Villa, which has never returned home, but once he returns, then
How it will unfold, no one can say.
The two sat on horseback and looked at the Huashan Mountain in the distance. Yue Hongling pondered for a long time and whispered: "You and I are in love. It seems to be widely spread, but in fact it is basically just a 'rumor in the world'. Only few people know that we are really together.
Not much. Not to mention my temperament, even if we fall in love, we may run away tomorrow, so the binding to me in the eyes of others may not be as deep as we think."
Zhao Changhe's mouth twitched when he heard this: "You are quite proud, right?"
"Hmph. I haven't been caught by you now...are you very proud?"
"..."
"Oh, anyway, what I said is that if I go back, I can get rid of my relationship with you. I can really go back boldly and help you find out the current situation in Guanlong."
Zhao Changhe was a little worried: "Are you going alone?"
Yue Hongling laughed dumbly: "Hey, I am Yujing, don't you know this concept?"
"I don't have any idea. I can beat Yu Jing to the ground with the palm of my hand."
"...I'm afraid that the Yu Jing you hold in your arms can be counted in the palm of your hand. You have no respect."
Zhao Changhe counted them secretly: "Not that many."
"You really counted, right?" Yue Hongling was angry and funny: "Okay, we break up."
"?" Zhao Changhe, who was sitting on the horse with her waist in his arms, raised his hands directly after hearing this: "Say it again?"
Yue Hongling went weak as soon as she was caught, panting and leaning on him: "Don't... I will say the same thing when I go back. Get used to it. If we meet in public, don't reveal your secrets. It's just a show. You and Xiu Sisi are not very close."
Are you familiar with this trick?"
This is indeed the most intuitive and effective way to quickly understand the current situation. Zhao Changhe thought a little unhappily: "If we explore the situation separately, we have to find a place to meet."
Yue Hongling smiled and said: "There are many scenic spots in Chang'an, just pick one...or the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Yuan Cheng said they were in Chang'an before, I guess it is there. It just so happens that I can go and see what Buddhism is like in Chang'an."
"
Zhao Changhe thought about it, and it was feasible. Indeed, Yuan Cheng said before that they were originally in Chang'an, but because they were not trusted, they had moved out to fight in Xiangyang. So are there still monks in Chang'an now? If so, is Yuan Cheng a bit duplicitous?
Suspicion? Or, can the power of Buddhism be introduced into this matter? What happened to their Buddha before?
Going round and round, many of the things I learned before ultimately do not correspond to Kunlun in the Western Regions, but may be fully integrated in Chang'an.
"Stop pinching..." Yue Hongling turned around and kissed his lips: "Be good, we've only been together for a few days and you can't bear to separate..."
Zhao Changhe hugged her slender waist and kissed her fiercely.
Indeed, I always act on my own on weekdays, but it is rare that my sister-in-law stays with me throughout the entire journey. Even if the troops are separated for a short time, I always feel empty in my heart.
The two kissed passionately for a while, and Yue Hongling pushed him away panting, straightened her messed up clothes, took off, and flew towards Huashan.
Halfway through, he suddenly looked back and smiled: "If you want to be happy together every day, it depends on when my great hero will put things in order. At that time, the red feather sword will be sheathed, the horse will be released in Nanshan, and I will wash your hands and make soup for you."
The voice was whispering, and the person had disappeared into the mountains.
Zhao Changhe looked at the disappearing figure in red clothes, took a long breath and rubbed his head.
Yes, if we stay together, we will have a lifetime in the future.
What kind of soup should you make when washing your hands? You can make Roujiamo at most. Well, how about your waist and leg strength?
Zhao Changhe pondered for a moment, then took out the makeup materials again, randomly applied a new look on himself, rode his horse to the outside of the city, and honestly led the horse to dig the road into the city.
He had a lot of fake road signs prepared on him. The identities of Zhao Wangtang and Zhao Shouyi were still there. This time when they arrived in enemy territory, Zhao did not dare to use them. He picked them randomly and chose one called Qin Jiu.
Yes, the surname Qin matched the location, so I took it out and used it.
"Qin Jiu from southern Shanxi has been doing business for generations..." The guard glanced at him: "Why is there such a person doing business?"
Zhao Changhe sighed and said: "The world is in chaos and the family is in decline. Come to Chang'an to try your luck."
The guard didn't take it seriously and waved his hand: "Go in."
Zhao Changhe was stunned: "No city entry tax?"
The guard glanced at him sideways: "You really want to hand it over, right? Just give it to me."
"No, no." Zhao Changhe quickly led his horse into the city, feeling shocked in his heart.
This Li family really has the flavor to compete with the world. This single move can at least double the prosperity of Chang'an and give it a good reputation.
In many cases, things like the "city entry tax" can indeed be abolished. The original Daxia did not always have this thing. The reason why it still exists now is that some are local bureaucrats to make money, and some are expedient measures when they are really short of money.
So far, the capital has not canceled it because everyone is really short of money and has no choice.
Unexpectedly, Changan has canceled the cancellation... Are they so rich?
Zhao Changhe slowly entered the city, looked at the bustling traffic around him, and sighed secretly.
This place is more prosperous than the capital, and it is already comparable to what I saw when I first entered the capital before the world was in chaos. After the chaos, especially after Lu Jianzhang and others committed suicide, the capital was in a state of decline, and it has long lost its original glory. Now compare
Under the circumstances, Chang'an is more like a capital city than a capital city.
It seems that the so-called "leading the barbarians into Guan to plunder" was not to rob Chang'an. The Guanlong nobles were not that stupid and would not touch their own foundation. There is a high probability that the people who were destroyed by the barbarians were die-hard loyalists.
The city of Daxia.
On the contrary, the various wars that have caused chaos in the world in recent years have destroyed Jingxiang in the south of the Yangtze River, Qingxu in North China, and the Miao border in Bashu, but they have basically not touched Guanlong. At this moment, Guanlong is almost like a human being compared to Guandong.
Heaven.
And they also have the Silk Road. According to Hong Ling's knowledge, there is still a lot of trade in the Western Regions. This trade has not flowed into Daxia and has been basically cut off by Guanlong, let alone the Han Dynasty.
No wonder he has money.
If he hadn't quickly defeated the Cui family and pacified Langya. Once the tug of war started and the Guanzhong cavalry swept out, the situation would have almost replicated that of the late Sui Dynasty.
Zhao Changhe walked forward with his heart full of thoughts, and subconsciously headed in the direction of the tall tower in the distance, which is the famous Big Wild Goose Pagoda. According to current knowledge, it seems to have some relationship with Tang Sanzang, but it is not too clear.
This place should have nothing to do with it. It was a famous spot before the Buddha was destroyed. After the Buddha was destroyed, the Li family still accommodated Buddhists here. It can be seen that there was rebellion at that time and they were accumulating their own strength.
Judging from such a long-term arrangement, Li Gongsi, the head of the Li family, has always been just a local leader. Isn’t it a bit unmatched? Moreover, the Li family is not the only one in Guanlong. For example, the Wei family, who is involved with Yue Hongling, is also a powerful one.
clan, the Li family was still able to firmly occupy the top position of the Guanlong Group after the death of Li Gongsi. Is there something wrong here?
Is there another strong person within the Li family, such as the ancestor from the previous generation who is still alive? If he is not dead and is not on the list, is he blind?
If the blind man is right, then what is wrong...
Zhao Changhe suddenly shuddered, what if his ancestor crawled out of the ground?
"Dang!" A bell sounded near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
Zhao Changhe stopped at the edge and saw many monks hurriedly returning to the temple, seemingly doing their homework.
He casually ordered a bowl of steamed buns to eat at a small shop outside the temple, and casually asked the waiter: "Buddhism in Chang'an is so prosperous, unlike ours in southern Shanxi."
"Your guest is from Jinnan?" The waiter said with a smile: "Buddhism in Chang'an has always been very prosperous, and many big shots believe in it. Recently, it has been a bit worse. If in the past, we could see many dignitaries coming to pay homage, now
Less."
Zhao Changhe asked: "Why is it missing?"
"I don't know, Master Yuancheng seems to have been away for a long time, saying that he went to preach elsewhere... As a result, a few days ago, Master Yuxu came out and argued with Buddhists in public. Master Yuancheng is not here, how can anyone else argue with Yuxu?
Real person? The monks were so cross-examined that they were speechless, and now they are all introspecting behind closed doors."
"Then since they have a strong foundation, do they just give in? Will they invite Master Yuancheng back to have another argument with Master Yuxu?"
The waiter sighed: "I don't know. I hope Master Yuancheng will come back soon. Master's Buddhist teachings are superb. He can't beat Yuxu in a fight. He shouldn't lose in an argument."
"From what you say, do you want Buddhism to win?"
"Of course, our whole family is Buddhist."
"Amitabha." Zhao Changhe made a seal and recited in a low voice: "Buddha is compassionate and will not sit back and watch its decline. He survived the bleakness of the era when the Buddha was destroyed, how can he fail in this matter?"
The waiter was overjoyed: "Is your guest a Buddhist too?"
"That's natural." Aren't our Dharma seals standard? Do you want me to recite a piece of bliss to you... Oh, Diamond Sutra, we are very familiar with this now.
The waiter immediately became overjoyed and lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Actually, we don't necessarily need Master Yuancheng to come back. It is said that there is a new Buddha in the temple, and the Dharma is boundless. Let alone arguing, I am afraid that I will not lose in the competition.
oh."
Zhao Changhe narrowed his eyes: "Do you all know about such a big thing?"
"Hey, the masters didn't hide it. They need to boost their morale." The waiter said, his face suddenly became excited: "Look, aren't the big shots coming?"
Zhao Changhe raised his eyes and saw a middle-aged man in royal robes leading a young man into the temple, surrounded by a group of servants. The monk Zhike put his hands together and saluted, and took the man inside without much greeting. He looked familiar.
This young man, Zhao Changhe, looked very familiar. He didn't think about it for a moment and asked, "Who is this big shot?"
"Second Master Dai of the Dai family in Jingzhao... Oh, this place is no longer called Jingzhao, but they still like to call themselves that."
I think you also like to call it this. I can understand the past glory of my hometown, and I am the same. Zhao Changhe looked at the back of Dai Erye entering the temple, and secretly thought in his heart that Chang'an does have a royal aura.
But it seems that there is more than just Wang Qi here, it is so complicated. It is really a gathering of all the forces, plus the major forces within Guanlong, it is really like a lump...
The Dai family... This one is relatively honest and does not refer to the ancient times. The family in this era is about the same level as the Tang family. It is not very glorious, but it is okay in the local area. The young man Zhao Changhe also remembered
, isn’t he just Mr. Dai? He is also a figure on the Hidden Dragon List. I met him at the Langya Hidden Dragon Banquet. When I first entered the capital, my identity was revealed by these idiots at the city gate, which caused a storm when I entered the capital.
.
Although this guy is a bit dandy and naive, he is not bad at heart. Does it seem like we can get in touch with him secretly?
As a final promotion, my buddy Full Metal Shell has opened a new book in the city. The title is "The Leader of the Beggar Gang Comes to America." It tells the story of a homeless man who becomes the leader of the Beggar Gang and uses Chinese martial arts to fight against Western supernatural forces and dark evil organizations.
