"The divine staff protects you and slays evil spirits to avoid them!"
"The divine staff protects you and slays evil spirits to avoid them!"
"The divine staff protects you and slays evil spirits to avoid them!"
Accompanied by the whispering of God, a young man dressed as a soldier in a gray coiled-collared robe crossed his left and right legs and stepped forward, jumping and jumping comically into the door.
He held a jet black wooden staff over half a foot long in his hand. He jumped with his steps and swung the wooden staff several times into the secret room, just like a witch performing a great dance.
Wu Ma remembered that there were indeed witches during the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
A few witches also caused a lot of trouble, some instigated rebellion, and some used witchcraft to defile the palace.
Wu Ma didn't know if the man in front of him was related to the miko, but the wooden staff in his hand really had a permeating aura, which could very well threaten his life.
So, he rode the gray snake and lay on the ground, motionless.
The light from outside the door followed and Wu Ma saw that the man looked a little tired.
The man looked around for a while, and someone outside said: "Yan Xiaoliu, have you seen a ghost?"
The man named Yan Xiaoliu waved his wooden stick toward the door, "I saw your grandpa."
"Do you really want to fight?"
"There's nothing in there..." Yan Xiaoliu put down the wooden stick, "There's not even a fart."
"Then let's watch some football. Come out quickly. This room is very evil. I'll feel bad all over after just one sip."
"oh……"
Yan Xiaoliu is closing its doors.
not good!
The dancing horse driving the gray snake raised its head, retracted its tail suddenly, darted forward, and got out the moment the door closed.
At the door, Yan Xiaoliu and another man dressed similarly stood side by side.
The gray robes they wore were wide and rough, and they fit them realistically, unlike the exquisite props in movies that exude a modern atmosphere.
The dancing horse looked at the two guards for a while, then looked up again——
The room where he was locked up was not very big, but it had gray tiles and hooked eaves, and was neat and elegant.
The house originally had windows covered with white paper. But there was no light at all in the secret room, so I guessed that there was probably another wall built from the inside of the house.
The dancing horse turned its head, and to the south was a rather spacious courtyard planted with some potted flowers and plants. There was a lush tree in the middle, and high bluestone walls were erected on both sides.
The courtyard is eerie.
To the south of the courtyard is a tall and imposing building, with flying tiles sloping down from the top, majestic red walls, and grandeur, a bit like the grandeur and grandeur of architecture in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Wu Ma looked around and thought that there were only two guards in the yard. As long as they were dealt with, it would be possible to escape. However, there was no good way to do it.
He was crawling around in the yard with the gray snake, and suddenly he thought - since the consciousness can leave the body, it means that he has really entered a fantasy world.
So, do the techniques of controlling people with magic and capturing people's hearts, which are only found in fairy novels, also really exist?
You can definitely do an experiment.
The dancing horse seemed to have seen the door to survival, and with a little enthusiasm in his heart, he picked up the tail of the gray snake and swung it towards Yan Xiaoliu's head like a whip.
The snake's tail passed through without any abnormality.
"Try again."
Wu Ma compressed the snake's tail tightly and drilled through Yan Xiaoliu's temple, through the eyes, nose, ears, mouth, and throat, and then through the chest and heart, drilling through all the acupuncture points on the body.
Let it go - it's no use.
Dancing Horse sighed.
I was about to try another person when I suddenly heard Yan Xiaoliu say to another guard:
"Why are you sighing?"
This surprised Wu Ma - Yan Xiaoliu seemed to be able to hear his voice.
If this is really the case, Wu Ma can try to send a message for help.
He then said something in Yan Xiaoliu's head:
"Brother, it's time to change the guard."
Then he found that when he said the word "brother", there was an invisible ripple in Yan Xiaoliu's head.
When I said "should", the ripples became fainter.
When the word "change" is said, the reverberation disappears.
Yan Xiaoliu raised his head and looked around, then looked at another guard.
"Iron egg,"
Yan Xiaoliu opened his eyes wide, "Did you hear the sound?"
The guard raised his head blankly, "What?" Yan Xiaoliu said, "I heard someone say...brother!"
Wu Ma thought to himself: "I said a whole sentence, but he only heard the first two words. Could it be that he can only pass two at a time?"
He said with some disbelief: "Xiao Liu, Gao Lang will call you over."
The invisible ripples echoed again, but only the first two words were echoed.
"Mom, I heard it again," Yan Xiaoliu was so frightened that he almost jumped up, "He called me Xiaoliu! There is a ghost!"
Another guard grabbed him.
Wu Ma was sure that no matter what he said, the other party could only hear the first two words.
There is no need to try again later to avoid getting into trouble.
Seeing that there was no point in the two of them fighting, Wu Ma thought to himself:
"No matter how much money I say, I can't ask them to open the door and let me go.
From what I heard from Gao Junya and Tian Deping, we need to carefully prepare for the sacrifice. We might as well go and see where they went first, it would be best to get some information and see what they can do."
Turn around and look at the house to the south.
This room is larger in size, like the main hall of a high-ranking official's residence. There are corridors on both sides of the backyard, leading to the front door and the back door.
Riding the gray snake, he swam to the corridor on the left, passed through the back door, and found a bedroom with exquisite furniture and decoration everywhere, showing elegance.
Going south from the bedroom, I felt an invisible force coming from the secret room at the back, pulling the gray snake to prevent him from moving forward.
It's just that Dancing Horse has always been a stubborn person, and as long as it is something he is serious about, he will definitely do it to the end.
He resisted the pulling force behind him and angrily moved forward. The further he walked, the stronger the pulling force became, so that the whole body of the snake became tense.
Further south, I saw a large wall screen. When I got behind the screen, I heard faint voices.
Bypassing the screen, there is a bright and spacious main hall. The furniture, seats, wall paintings, potted plants and other arrangements are more carefully arranged. Anyway, it has the style of a high official's residence.
In the main hall, there were three men sitting on carved wooden chairs.
The dancing horse controls the gray snake and once he looks attentively, the scene in the distance is clearly visible——
The man sitting in the middle faces south, with his back to the screen and the dancing horse. His face cannot be seen. He is wearing a red robe and a crown that reaches the sky. He has a fat body. This man should have the highest official rank.
To the left of the fat man, there is also a man in a red robe. He looks about thirty or forty years old, with a sad look on his face.
As for the man on the right, wearing a green robe, only the side of his face can be seen, with a hooked nose, sunken eyes, swaying eyes, and an evil aura about him. This official should be the smallest.
Wu Ma watched it carefully and thought to himself: These three people can discuss matters in a grand manner in the main hall, so their status must be noble. Two of them must be Gao Junya and Tian Deping.
As for the other one - I heard Yan Xiaoliu and Tiedan say something before, "Have you forgotten all what Jun Cheng told me?"
That's it, this person must be Taiyuan's deputy left behind, the county's prime minister, Wang Wei.
This is amazing. The three people sitting in this hall are undoubtedly the three most unsociable loyal ministers in Jinyang, no, in Taiyuan at this moment.
In May of the thirteenth year of Daye, everyone in Jinyang was thinking about how and when to rebel. All the heroes in the country were rebelling, so why didn't Li Yuan rebel yet?
Only these three were loyal and worked hard all day long on how to kill Li Yuan and how to nip the rebellion in the bud.
Wu Ma quickly judged that the official in the middle of the main hall was the tallest and must be Wang Wei.
He is currently serving as the deputy governor and county magistrate of Taiyuan. According to the official rank of the Sui Dynasty, he should be from the seventh rank. Sui Dynasty officials below the sixth rank can only wear red and green robes. Wang Wei wears red, there is no problem
big.
As for the remaining two, one is on the left and one is on the right.
In ancient China, from the Warring States Period onwards, the custom of respecting the right gradually came into being. However, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Zhou rites were restored and changed to respecting the left, respecting the right and the bottom.
Then it is clear that the official on the left is a bigger one, and must be the deputy Taiyuan guard, Wu Yalang, Gao Junya.
The young official on the right, the one with evil eyes, is Tian Deping, the commander of the army.
"Now that the three great loyal ministers of Taiyuan County have gathered together," Wu Ma said in his heart, "can we hear some useful news this time?"
————————
Anyway, that’s it for writing here, let me mention one more interesting thing.
Historically, in addition to Wang Wei and Gao Junya in Taiyuan, there was also a famous general who would be powerful throughout the world and also wanted to be loyal to the imperial court.
However, that man probably did not overestimate his ability to murder Li Yuan. Instead, he fled to Chang'an at night to file a complaint, which fully demonstrated the graceful style of a generation of famous generals who assessed the situation, left at the last word, and dared to fight and escape.
