Chapter 175
I went to a city closer to the border, where the wind and sand were stronger, and the melons and fruits were sweeter. There were beautiful girls in bright red dresses all over the street, with tall eyebrows and deep eyes, full of smiles, and exotic styles everywhere.
The houses are not in the style of the Central Plains, and the patterns of the clothes of the Han people also have exotic flavors.The dried fruits sold on the street are huge, boxes piled high, colorful, thick and plump, and there are many interesting little things, such as woven carpets and carved wooden statues.
Mr. Mu didn't like shopping very much, but he just told the maid to buy some of everything, and she wanted to taste the ones that were pleasing to the eye.
I also asked the maid to ask the names of those dried fruits and nuts. A boy in white stood in front of the dried fruit shop and stupidly asked what these strangely shaped fruits were.
Yao Sanlang said enthusiastically, "I'm going too." He didn't feel ashamed, so he ran to stand in front of the stall and pointed his head: "Wrap me a catty for each item. What are these items?"
The shopkeeper told him what it was all about, some local specialties.
Yao Sanlang didn't come out either, grabbed a few and squeezed them open before throwing them into his mouth.
The shopkeeper was in a hurry: "Don't eat!" It's a pity that he shouted too late.
Yao Sanlang was taken aback for a moment: "What the hell!!!" A mouthful of sand!
The shopkeeper explained: "There is a lot of sand in the cracks on the nuts, don't worry, sir, just clean it before eating." He brought a bowl of water to rinse his mouth.
Mr. Mu was sitting next to him in the tea shed, watching the boy go to the inn to ask if there was any vacancy, and watching Yao Sanlang take a mouthful of sand, she laughed so hard that she didn't even want to drink water.
Someone whispered in the distance: "Second brother, do you seem to have a brain problem? Are you wearing white drops in this windy sand?"
"Well, that maid is really enchanting."
Daiyu looked around. On both sides of this long street, there were people coming and going. No one was wearing white clothes. The lightest color was bright red, and the rest were either black, dark blue, brown, gray, or agarwood, just some May be dirty out of color.
Only I wear white, and Yao Sanlang wears light blue.
In the blink of an eye, the boy went in and out of one inn after another, and it seemed that he never rented a house.
Yao Sanlang took a big basket from the shopkeeper of the dried fruit shop, and walked over with it in his arms. The basket was not small, and it was full of things. It seemed... that he had bought a lot.Yao Sanlang said: "Dozens of samples, I bought [-] catties, and after eating, I will buy some to take back."
Daiyu stared at the sky speechlessly: "We are not businessmen here to buy goods!" With so much, it will take a while to finish!
Yao Sanlang rubbed his belly, confident in himself.
The boy came back and reported: "My lord, this place is too close to the border. All the inns are full, and the rented yards have also been rented out. There are still people living in many people's homes. Either clear a few people to go out, and make room for two." I have to come out of the room, or I have to think again." He couldn't continue, and looked into the distance with horror on his face.
There seemed to be a monster in the distance, and the yellow sand that covered the sky and the sun rushed over.
The world is cold and cold, and the yellow sand swirls without shadow or form.
Pass through the forest and fold the ridge to pour the pine and plum, sow the soil and raise the dust to collapse the ridge.
The waves of the Yellow River are completely muddy, and the waters of the Xiangjiang River are surging.
Bitian vibrates the bullfighting palace, trying to blow down the Senluo Palace.
Every household panicked and closed the door with a crackling sound, leaving a gap in the window to see when the storm would come.
The owner of the tea shed hurriedly greeted: "Guest officer, come in and hide!"
Daiyu had never seen such a strong wind before, she felt novel, it was so yellow, the sand was blown by the wind like a monster, she stopped to watch: "Sanlang, do you think there is a goblin here? It's so windy, although there is no monster..."
Yao Sanlang looked up while eating nuts: "Sandstorm, um, to be honest, the demon wind is not so domineering. I really want to save it for those demon kings to see. This is the power of heaven and earth, not their bravado. Comparable."
Daiyu thought so deeply, and looked up at it fascinatedly, it was so beautiful.
The milky yellow sandstorm looks like a cloud, approaching grandly and silently. It looks gentle and soft like a cloud, but the power and shocking power contained in it make people tremble and be dazzled. .
The maids went into the house to hide, and the servants led the horses behind the low wall to hide, and then went into the house themselves.
The shopkeeper stood at the door and yelled again and again: "Guest officer, if you don't come in, I will close the door! We can't delay!"
Daiyu came back to her senses, glanced over there, and for a moment she couldn't decide whether to appreciate it for a while or go in and hide. At a glance, she saw that the small hut was crowded with people who were drinking milk tea here just now. , everyone was standing, crowded with nowhere to go.
She gently shook the dust that had never been on her clothes, she was noble and cold: "No need, the scenery here is very beautiful."
Someone in the room murmured: "The brain is broken!"
"It's so coquettish!"
The shopkeeper was speechless for a while, and pointed to the low wall and said: "Guest officer, that place is leeward." Then he closed the door.
The sandstorm was getting closer, like Fourth Sister Wen throwing a small meatball into her mouth, easily devouring the edge of the city.Like a huge wheel running over a praying mantis, exuding a shrill, whistling buzzing wind sound, like countless people roaring in hell, the sharp whistling and low sound of wind, the sound of sand rubbing against every house, clearly ear.
The wind has not yet arrived, but the majesty of heaven and earth has made it impossible to escape.
Daiyu felt her heart beating like a drum, beating non-stop, and quietly glanced behind the low wall, it turned out to be a place for mules and horses, how annoying.There is no way to avoid it, so I fill my body with true qi and wait for the wind to come.
Yao Sanlang laughed cheerfully beside him: "Ahahahaha~"
Daiyu glanced at him: "What are you laughing at?"
Yao Sanlang hooked his hands quietly, pulled her sleeve, and grabbed her hand along the sleeve: "I think it's very interesting to watch the sandstorm with you."
Daiyu's face flushed slightly, Yao Sanlang had just admired this beauty like the most delicate flower bud...
The two of them were covered by the yellow sand that covered the sky and the sun, and they couldn't see each other's face!
There is a gentle and lingering tacit understanding flowing between the blending of true energy.
Daiyu: "Hahaha" the honey juice hit the point of laughter.I can feel the feeling of grains of sand hitting my real qi shield, probably the kitchen knife sharpened by the godmother feels like this.
After a while, she couldn't see anything in the yellow sand all over the sky, she could only see a lot of sand, and her eyes hurt from seeing, so she closed her eyes and waited.Anyway, he won't be attacked at this time, Yao Sanlang is in his hands, so there is no need to stare at him.
Not only are they watching the wind and sand here, but there are also people watching them from afar.
Although the doors and windows are closed, the wind blows from the north, and the windows in the south can be opened.
A lot of people crowded at the window, just wanting to see if the Ersao bag in light-colored clothes would be blown into a gourd by the sandstorm. Although they couldn't see it through the strong wind and sand, they still watched with gusto.
After an unknown period of time, he suddenly felt lighter and the wind disappeared.
Opening his eyes, a big pink tongue licked the real qi mask.
Daiyu saw the bloody mouth, and screamed: "Ah! Monster!"
The bloody mouth took a step back, it was a black and white iron-eating beast, with four paws on the ground, its face was exactly the same height as Yao Sanlang, it was licking people with its head down.
Yao Sanlang said: "Ah! Senior Brother!"
Daiyu looked up, and there was a strong and handsome man sitting on the iron-eating beast. She blushed, "Brother."
Chi Xiu took a deep breath, the smell of the battlefield: "I saw that you two committed the Xun hexagram today, and you thought it was a fight with the yellow wind monster. It turned out to be here to blow the wind." Snacks are quite emotional.
Yao Sanlang was complacent: "Hey hey~"
Daiyu was a little shy, pulled out her hand, and asked softly, "Brother, have you been paying attention to us?"
Chi Xiu turned over and got off Big Bear, smiled without saying a word, and looked her up and down: "I heard that you two changed your name and surname in the mortal world, and you two became a couple. There are many rumors. I don't know what it is. Is it true? Fake?"
You guessed it right, Zi Shu went back and recounted the story of 'Master Mu and his handsome and handsome male favourite'.
Daiyu turned pale with shock: "Can news from the mortal world travel so far?"
Chi Xiu sighed: "You forgot, there are people who like to gossip and spread news."
Seeing that her face was redder than a red rose, Yao Sanlang explained: "We're fine, we stay together normally, but mortals are mostly heartbroken, and seeing a young, beautiful, rich and powerful young man with a The little beauty, that is, me, just wants to dream. If Liu Guan and Zhang Ge are not good-looking, no one will make random guesses."
Chi Xiu laughed: "Who told you that Liu Bei and Guan Yu are not good-looking? A hero has his own spirit, unlike a child like you, you can only see whether he is good-looking or not."
Yao Sanlang: ╭(╯^╰)╮Not happy!
Daiyu smiled and asked: "Eldest brother, I am currently facing a difficult problem, and I can't figure it out. I want to know the answer by doing a divination, but I am afraid that if I cheat like this, I will lose the meaning of my experience in the world. Can I figure it out?" ?”
Chi Xiu smiled slightly: "Daiyu, hahahaha, you can do the math. Fortune-telling is not a method of gods, and ordinary people can use it. But according to my opinion, you have only read "Book of Changes", so you can't say that you are familiar with it, and it is impossible to calculate any results. .”
Daiyu looked at him cutely: "(⊙o⊙) Oh!"
Chi Xiu suddenly took a deep breath: "That direction smells like a battlefield, so don't go there. The sandstorm is about to stop..."
After speaking, he rode away on his giant panda.
He just disappeared without a trace, the wind weakened almost immediately, and disappeared in an instant.
The wind stopped, but the sand and dust were still floating in the air, and it was still a yellow world, as if it was covered with the setting sun.
Daiyu shook her clothes, but the white robe was not stained with fine dust.
Yao Sanlang said: "Xuanyu, in order to set off your elegant demeanor, I should get myself dirty."
Daiyu nodded and smiled, "Okay." She dusted some dirt on her body.
Yao Sanlang threw himself on the yellow sand all over the floor and rolled firmly. His current appearance is clearly the image endorsement of the famous Beijing snack "Donkey Rolling". The yellow sand all over his body is sticky and firm .
Daiyu was surprised: "Hello..."
Yao Sanlang wiped dirt on his face: "Don't forget that I am your weak little boyfriend."
Daiyu said: "Yao Yunqi, why are you always pretending to be weak! Besides, you killed a few people with a sword before, who would believe that you are weak?"
Yao Sanlang coughed: "I'm just weaker than you! Good sister, you don't understand, I'm pretending to be weak, so I can attack others easily."
Daiyu: I can't refute...
The wind stopped, and the onlookers also ran out, gloating and wanting to see those two wind-watching teenagers—I think they are going crazy—should they be blown into gourds?
When the results came out, they were all horrifying!
The white horse of the young man in white has turned into a yellow horse, and the young man's white clothes are not stained with dust, as clean as clothes that have just been dyed.
Even in the dense yellow sand, she could still see that her clothes were white and shiny, and the little weak chicken beside her was sitting on the ground covered in yellow sand, about to be helped up by him.
Outsiders would definitely guess whether it was the little weak chicken protecting the son behind him, but the locals knew that the wind and sand penetrated everywhere.
In an instant, all the people who were hiding ran out.
Several people walked past the white-clothed young man in a hurry, and took a closer look, hey, it's really white, the people are white, and the clothes are also white.
Everyone agreed that this person was really strong internally, but there was so much that there was no place to put it, and he took it out to carry the wind and sand to keep his clothes from getting dirty, could it be Tianshan Child Elder?
Several people went over to strike up a conversation and invited him to drink. The big local tycoon with a speculative vision said: "The houses here are priceless. According to the old man, the young master has no place to stay tonight. If you don't mind, please come and stay temporarily, waiting to be found." It’s not too late to move to the house.”
Mr. Mu readily agreed: "I'm bothering you." With a gentle look, he held the little yellow man's hand without disdain.
At this moment, a group of soldiers suddenly entered the city. They looked exhausted. Many people were wounded and stained with blood. It was suspicious that some of them did not look like people from the Jianghu.
Come here to recuperate, eat and heal your wounds. Those who have good things go to invite the leading generals to drink and ask. Only then did they know that the enemy's rogues crossed the border privately, robbed their property, and met a group of treasure hunters. The two sides fought, and they tracked the rogues all the way Here, the three sides fought, and finally wiped out all the rogues.
Daiyu was drinking next to her, her heart was surging, and she wanted to write poetry very much.Somewhat moved, I asked the maid to quietly buy a few sheep for them to eat. These soldiers seemed to be very poor, so they only bought some naan.Everyone is poor, and the capital is still extravagant and dissipated, alas.
When I went back to my room to write poems, I spread out the pen and paper and felt my heart was surging, but when I picked up the pen, I didn't know what to write.
"On the third day of September, I saw General Xu fighting the bandits" was crossed out, I didn't see the battlefield.
After Yao Sanlang washed and dressed, he came out.Tired of wearing Taoist robes, goose-yellow brocade robes, purple-gold crowns, brocade pouches and jade belts, palace sash and jade pendants are all worn.
Daiyu's eyes lit up: "It's so pretty!" You don't have much of a fairy character, but you are full of playful and mischievous temperament.
Then she was a little depressed: "Brother Sanlang, change it, there are a group of soldiers eating"
Yao Sanlang said: "They can't rob me."
Daiyu sighed slightly: "They have gone through hardships to defend their home and country, which is more difficult than I imagined."
Yao Sanlang understood, this is because seeing ordinary people's life is not easy, and seeing me dressed so richly and richly felt unbearable.Sister Daiyu is so kind, so gentle, so cute~
Before he could say anything, there was a burst of cheers from a distance: "Meat!!"
"mutton!!!"
"Pig head!!"
"Give it to me!"
There was also a gruff and irritable voice: "Don't snatch it! Everyone has a share! Snatch what you want, haven't you seen meat!"
Yao Sanlang continued to change the texture, color and pattern of hairpins and robes, trying to find a low-key luxury.
Daiyu picked up her pen and pondered for a long time: "I'm not good at writing frontier poems." So I had to write a nostalgic poem.
After the fall, the scenery is different, and the geese in Hengyang go without paying attention.The sound from all sides rang up.Qianzhangli, Changyan, sunset solitary city closed.
A glass of turbid wine is home for thousands of miles, Yan Ran is not reined in, and there is no plan, and the ground is full of frost.When people are insomnia, the general buries his bones and solicits his husband's tears.
After a while, Yao Sanlang finished dressing up, gray-blue soft robe, golden hairpin, and a pendant carved with white jade dragons around his waist: "Is that okay?"
Daiyu nodded slightly: "Not bad. It's very beautiful."
Yao Sanlang looked at her a little embarrassed, and said after consideration: "The general trend of the world is the war of swords and soldiers. Once you fight, you will stop fighting, and you will start fighting after you rest. Heaven has its own way. It does not survive for Yao, nor perish for Jie." Don't be sad, the ancients buried their bones, today they are fighting hard, and the future people will follow their tracks.
Daiyu looked at him tenderly and sadly for a long time, then sighed: "I know, I understand the truth, but..."
Yao Sanlang's tone was even softer and weaker: "It's just that they are all living people, meeting by chance, parting by chance, to the gods, all mortals are just a fleeting moment, only immortals like them are real, but, not No. Except for my master and others who cultivated in the prehistoric period, the immortals who became immortals later had seven emotions and six desires, and they all had their own ignorant attachments, but they were able to become immortals. It was only because of chance, You can live forever, play and play all day long."
A certain emotion in his heart was aroused: "In their view, mortals are ephemeral and almost unreal. It seems that everything in the mortal world is vulgar and ridiculous, and all the struggles for power are gnats fighting for small profits. The snail’s name is stolen from the horns. It’s hard to calm down. If a person can only live for 30 or 60 years, then everything that happens in these years is everything! There are many demons who take pleasure in manipulating people’s life and death, how inferior it is Ordinary people spend their entire lives, putting in unimaginable efforts, just to survive, but many people regard this as a game."
"I have lived in the mortal world for a long time. Ordinary people live very seriously. They are really living and working hard to live, instead of living like a walking dead like many pampered immortals. I like Fourth Sister Wen because She lives very, very hard, practices martial arts, eats, and sleeps every day. Apart from killing people, she only treats cooking as entertainment. She strives to improve herself and is very serious. Things can bind her soul."
Yao Sanlang sniffled, a little sad: "I have never understood how ordinary people can work so hard and endure so much in order to live. Stick to an extremely difficult place, don't move, don't give up, insist on living in the most difficult way, generation after generation Generation. They don't kill themselves, they don't give up on themselves."
Daiyu looked at him, and many things came together: "Sanlang, because you are dissatisfied with the behavior of many people in the fairy world, so you change your appearance in the mortal world and observe others?" You,,, have a personality!So chic!
Yao Sanlang blushed and wiped the corners of his eyes, and lowered his head: "Stupid, right? But I just want to know why they work so hard."
Daiyu looked at him, stared at him, making his face redder.She suddenly laughed: "Let's go eat, I'll ask them to roast a leg of lamb, it's spicy."
Yao Sanlang's heart was still agitated, but at the same time, he was drooling, swallowing, and explained with some embarrassment: "I'm not wandering around the world for delicious food."
Daiyu: "Haha, I know."
"Not really."
"I know, I trust you." You're a foodie, but not just a foodie.
There was only one best restaurant on the whole street. The young man in white was carrying a knife and brought his little weak chicken in. The maid had already ordered dishes according to the taste of the young man, and the leg of lamb was roasting in the backyard.
The little general in the arm cheap restaurant followed him: "Hey, I heard that you sent our sheep? Why?"
Daiyu: Huh?Giving you sheep to eat is still so arrogant with me?
Looking at this man, he is unshaven, dirty, bloodstained on his face, smells of gold sore medicine on his body, and is covered in wind and dust.
She said lightly: "If you have money, you will be happy."
"I heard that you are good at martial arts, have you ever killed someone?"
Daiyu sneered, "I've killed quite a few." The way you speak is so disgusting.
The little general sat down by himself, took the jug on the table and got himself a bowl of wine: "I think you are not bad, you are also an idiot who came to find the treasure? You shouldn't be."
Yao Sanlang woke up from his excitement and sadness, and looked at the little general opposite him vigilantly. It was obvious that this person also had six-pack abs!Really annoying!
Daiyu raised her eyebrows slightly: "Oh? How is it? So what if it's not?"
"No." The little general smiled and said, "I just want to know the answer."
Yao Yunqi: Boy, you have a lot of personality.
Daiyu saw that although this person's attitude was rude, he was not very offensive: "I want to see if these people can find the treasure. Also, who told the news."
The little general laughed hahaha: "You are really interesting, your surname is Mu?" Asking, he stretched out his hand and gestured a two.
Daiyu was terrified: "Why... what do you mean?"
The little general was also a little puzzled: "The surname Zhuo told me that when he saw a person who was almost like you, he could scare you just by doing this. What are you afraid of? Did you sneak out from the house? Forget it, don't care about that much, if you need help, ask me." After speaking, he stood up and was about to leave.
Daiyu stopped him: "Wait a minute, who are you?"
"Wen Jiying."
"Same surname as General Wen?"
The little general curled his lips: "My father let me take his old general's surname in a rage, which made me very embarrassed. Why do you ask so many people! If you want to kill people, come to the front line. I ask you to kill enough, I'm afraid Just go home, no one will care about you when it gets messy." He ran away angrily.
Daiyu blinked: "This man has such a temper." If he collides with my godmother, there will be a fight!Mr. Zhuo knew him and wrote to him in advance?
She suddenly jumped up and chased after him: "Wait a minute!" She asked in a low voice on the side of the road: "Who released the news?"
Wen Jiying grinned, "Guess."
Daiyu said immediately, "I guess it's you!"
Wen Jiying's complexion changed, and he smiled awkwardly: "You really know how to joke, haha. I don't have time to talk to you, so let's go. Don't talk nonsense, if others hear it, it will kill me No! No treasure, it's a hoax."
Daiyu was stunned, did I say something casually to him and guessed it right?
The general left in a hurry.
Hongtao chased after him: "My lord, what happened?"
"It's nothing, go back to eat." Mr. Mu went back to eat, went back to the house to rest, and heard a news the next day.
The fact that there are treasures in the frontier was first spread by a three-bag disciple of the beggar gang, but the beggar disappeared in the desert.
Daiyu tossed several six lines in a row before admitting dejectedly that what the elder brother said is right, I really don't understand Zhouyi.Still learning, but from the immediate point of view, the possibility of quickly investigating the results is more reliable than quickly learning the Book of Changes and then calculating the results.
Could it be that this is a conspiracy by the beggar gang to unify the martial arts?Yes, but the beggar gang dominates the martial arts and commands the world, what can they do?
Or did Wen Jiying really say it?But he should know it's fake, why did he say it?Simply say nothing?
Going downstairs today, the atmosphere is very solemn, different from yesterday.I saw a few acquaintances, such as the abbot of Shaolin Temple, the old Taoist of Wudang Mountain, the head of a certain sect, and an old local tyrant whose status is obsessed. They were still grandiose yesterday, but today they are embarrassed to steal things and meet their own family.
But there are many mysterious big men in black in the city. They wear the same standard clothes and the weapons they use have the same markings. They seem to be waiting for the arrival of their masters here.
The author has something to say: I lived in the Northwest when I was a child, and I could see sandstorms in spring. I like to stand in front of the window and watch the sandstorms approach... I feel that this scene is very romantic.
Thank goodness the foreshadowing of Yao Sanlang's wandering into the world has finally been drawn out!
I gave up writing a grand scene, and I couldn't write it out. Just look at things from Daiyu's perspective, and the story is very complete.
Guess whose conspiracy this is!
