Eaglewood Crumbs Chapter 22: Travel to the Southwest

lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Agarwood like crumbs!

The southwest is originally a soil, but the scenery is excellent: eight hundred miles of green hills, rushing rivers, vast and empty; the wind is cool across the mountain, and the peaks are staggered, and the line is like the purple of the Beidou, and the sky is full of mist.

Yan Dan held the steamed buns as dry food, and looked at Liu Weiyang, who was sitting on the opposite side, at the quiet and quiet. In her mind, there are two kinds of people who are most unsuitable to travel with when on the road, dumb and gentleman. A dumb person can't speak but only eats, and is boring; a gentleman behaves well and can't do any bad things, and is even more boring. She didn't know whether Liu Weiyang was considered a gentleman, but he was indeed considered mostly dumb.

She left Lingxiao Taoist Temple with Tang Zhou that day, returned to Tang Zhou's home, packed up some clothes, and left Xiangdu City. It was late spring at this time, and only a few red residues remained on the branches. Liu Weiyang was standing under the peach blossom tree, watching them calmly. Yan Dan didn't know what Tang Zhou had said to him. In short, he became a demon, a celestial master, and an expert who was not in the next year and went to the southwest.

The journey has been very smooth in the past, and even the shadow of a ringing horse bandit was not encountered. Yan Dan was regretful and emotional, saying that the current emperor Rui of the Great Zhou Dynasty is too politically clear, and there are too few officials who eat leisurely and do nothing. , Deprived her of a lot of fun for no reason. And the closer to Zhu Cui Mountain, where the Yi people lived, the more silent Liu Weiyang became. When he stopped to rest, he looked straight at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking. When others talked to him, he gave a noncommittal hum at best, and he didn't know if he heard it.

Yan Dan is too leisurely and can only guess what Liu Weiyang is thinking. When a mortal thinks about something nasty, even if he puts on a righteous and awe-inspiring expression, his eyes will still show a bit of despicability; if he thinks of murder, arson, and innocent actions, he will grit his teeth and squeeze his fists. But Liu Weiyang's eyes were clear and his expression was indifferent, so he wouldn't worry that the sky would accidentally fall a piece?

Yan Dan finished biting a steamed bun and began to slowly send firewood into the fire. Suddenly, with an idea, he pointed to Zhu Cuishan in front of him: "Fengxiu is near to help Yuchan, and he walks south to the distant smoke and locks the floating clouds, the Lingyi meanders, Why not choose to win high places."

Tang Zhouyi choked on steamed buns, and coughed a few times before he said: "Why do you suddenly chant poems and compose lyrics?" This flower demon is indeed a little different from the one he has seen before, except for being acting like a baby and a dog The legs still have a bit of ink. He turned his head to look in the direction that Yan Dan pointed out, and saw that Zhu Cui Mountain was high enough to support the moon, the mist was heavy and the mountain was winding. Before he practiced Taoism, he had also been admitted as a child student. In addition to the uneven rhyme of the words, Yan Dannian's words are quite appropriate.

"Auspicious qi goes wrong, evil qi goes straight, mountains and rivers embrace anger. It seems that Zhu Cuishan must be a land of outstanding people." Yan Dan turned his head and looked at Liu Weiyang, "Mr Liu, are you right? "

Liu Weiyang glanced at her and looked at Zhu Cuishan's direction.

Yan Dan didn't give up, and said: "But I don't see that the two rivers below the mountain gather together, and the aura leaks out, and it's a failure."

Liu Weiyang shook his head, still saying nothing.

Yan Dan finally gave up, slowly lying on the hay, ready to sleep. She slept very shallowly, and she would wake up with a slight noise. Suddenly she heard a small noise. When she opened her eyes, she saw Liu Weiyang slowly standing up. There seemed to be something flashing in the moonlight in her hand. Yan Dan lay motionless, saw Liu Weiyang slowly walk to Tang Zhou's side, stood for a while, then turned and walked towards her.

She was strange in her heart, so she closed her eyes and breathed long, pretending to be asleep. She felt the other person look at herself quietly for a while, and walked slowly into the distance. Yan Dan climbed up lightly and carefully followed behind him, only to see him walk under a locust tree and gently dust the trunk with his hand.

In Yan Dan's opinion, Liu Weiyang is a person who never procrastinates and does not do superfluous things. Every word and every action he makes is unlikely to be meaningless. She was puzzled, and saw Liu Weiyang slowly leaning against the tree trunk, bringing the thing in her hand to the corner of her mouth.

In the silvery white moonlight, Yan Dan saw it really, he was only holding a jade flute. ... It turned out to be a flute, not a weapon, and she was nervous just now in vain.

The moon is hanging in the middle. Whose jade flute blows horizontally, like heartbroken, like whispering, it is just a teenager who is mad and drunk.

Liu Weiyang's eyes are cold and cold, and he is calm and upset, like a jade tree and green bamboo, with a full posture and a brake. Yan Dan watched him finish playing a song, the blue tune turned, and there was a faint sound of gold and iron, his blue and black sleeves were dancing in the wind, Tsinghua University.

Yan Dan stepped back slowly and fell on the haystack. After a while, Liu Weiyang walked gently back to the fire and sat down again. Yan Dan thought in a daze, this time she was really too suspicious.

Early the next morning, I entered Zhu Cui Mountain. I just walked to the mountain pass, and the wet mist came on my face. My feet were slippery and it was not easy to walk. I had to retreat again.

Tang Zhou had to say: "It seems that this mountain road is not easy to walk, I'm afraid I have to invite a local to lead the way." Liu Weiyang was still noncommittal, Yan Dan looked around and said with a smile: "I suddenly thought of one Story."

Tang Zhou glanced at her diagonally, and laughed slightly: "What's the story again?" In the past few days, nothing happened except to hurry. You don't need to think about it and know that she must be panicked.

"In ancient times, there was a king who wanted to send troops to attack a neighboring country, so he asked the prime minister if this idea was feasible. The prime minister heard it, and only said one word,'ran'. The king was puzzled. Does this word mean good or bad? Later, the king became seriously ill, and the dispatch of troops was put on hold. As he died, he also wondered what the prime minister's "ran" meant. The king finally meant it. I couldn't help but call the prime minister to the sick bed, tell him what he had guessed, and ask him if he meant it. The prime minister laughed again, of course. The king died immediately."

Tang Zhou was so angry and funny, but she wanted to get such an allusion to insinuate Liu Weiyang. But Liu Weiyang seemed to have not heard him, and he didn't even turn his eyes.

Yan Dan felt boring suddenly, so he pouted and stopped talking.

When he walked to the entrance of a village outside the mountain, Tang Zhou said in a low voice: "You really like to talk to Brother Liu." Yan Dan frowned and thought about it, smiling: "So you are jealous. Up?"

Tang Zhou said without hesitation: "No."

Yan Dan sighed quietly: "Actually you admit it, it's not a big deal, and I won't make fun of you."

"I don't have one."

While talking, I saw two local people walking towards each other, wearing coarse-braided shirts, one tall and one short. Seeing three of them in a group, they walked up and said with a smile: "Look at the three people. I came to visit Zhucui Mountain, right? The weather is just right now, but the mountains are prone to fog, and it’s easy to get lost without locals."

Tang Zhou nodded slightly, and only listened to the local people at Zi Gaodian continue to say: "In fact, many people come to Zhu Cuishan every year. Our brothers are not the first time to lead the way. The price is naturally easy to discuss. "

Tang Zhou took out a small ingot of silver, and said lightly: "At most two hours, we will go into the mountain. Two people see what else needs to be bought, and the remaining silver will be counted at the place."

The man took the money, weighed a few times, and said with a smile: "You can rest assured, as long as half an hour, we can set off, and we can make sure there is nothing wrong!" After that, he pulled the short local man and walked away. , While still muttering in the native language they didn't understand.

Liu Weiyang whispered: "These two people have a stench."

Yan Dan immediately refreshed: "I see their eyes flickering and they are too attentive, I'm afraid there is something weird in them. This way is really interesting."

"Even if there is something weird, it won't be overwhelming." Tang Zhou looked at the baggage, "There is not much leftover dry food. I don't know where there will be someone when I enter the mountain. Take advantage of it now. ."

Liu Weiyang shook his head and said lightly: "Since they dared to bring people in, they must be caressed. In short, just be careful."

Yan Dan's hair is horrified: "The stench you just said was not..."

Liu Weiyang gave her a noncommittal glance, and then said nothing.

Tang Zhou was a little strange. She wouldn't hesitate like this and only said half a sentence, so she asked: "What happened to the stench?"

Yan Dan's expression is complicated: "I just guessed it casually. It's better not to know, I'm afraid it will make you unable to eat for several days."

When Tang Zhou saw her, he didn’t say anything, and didn’t force it. The three of them went to the village to buy some dried steamed buns to take, and then drilled the well. When they returned to the village, they saw the two locals carrying them on their backs. He waited there with hemp rope axe and a walking stick to explore the way.

Zhu Cuishan is densely foggy, layered on top of each other, and it is hard to see things beyond ten steps. Yan Dan quietly looked at the two local people slanting in front of them who were exploring the road with their sticks. They had similar eyebrows, their faces were yellow and black, and they only twitched when they laughed.

I saw the short local man turned his head and grinned at her, showing her scorched teeth: "Girl, you have to stay close. There are large pythons in this mountain who like to eat small skin and tender meat. Girl."

Yan Dan immediately put on a look of fear: "Is there a big python in this mountain?"

"This large python has the thickness of an arm, so long." The man compared it with his hand, "When it opens its mouth, it can swallow the whole person."

"Enough, don't talk anymore!" The taller local immediately interrupted him and said with a smile, "That's just a rumor in our place. Don't be afraid of the girl, if you really run into a python , The two of us can hack it to death.” As he said, he patted the axe wrapped around the roll of twine on his back.

Yan Danming smiled white teeth, and said softly: "Then I can rest assured."

Walking out again in the white mist, she looked around randomly, but suddenly realized that Liu Weiyang, who had been walking behind her, suddenly disappeared. She knew that with Liu Weiyang's skill, it wouldn't be a big problem even if she placed an order, but she always felt that Liu Weiyang would walk with them, and it should also have his purpose. After all, people's minds are unpredictable, at least for the moment, it is impossible to determine whether he is an enemy or a friend, or whether he has other plans.

She was thinking about telling Tang Zhou about this, but she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a figure. She looked back, Liu Weiyang looked plain, and was walking behind her.

Yan Dan rubbed her eyes, wondering in her heart: Could it be that she had seen it wrong just now? It stands to reason that this misty fog is not surprising for a while. She turned her head and looked back frequently like this, even Liu Weiyang felt it, and asked incomprehensibly: "How?"

"Did you see anything strange just now?" Yan Dan asked tentatively.

Liu Weiyang shook his head, but the short local man turned his head and said: "It's foggy here, and the mountain roads are difficult to walk. It's hard to guarantee dazzling. But girl, you are too suspicious, you should practice. Guts."

Yan Dan wanted to get rid of that talkative mortal, but thinking that he still wanted to lead the way, he had to hold back. When she was practicing courage back then, this talkative mortal still didn't know where it was. It was really unreasonable to dare to say that she was timid.

They have not known how long they have been walking in the mountains, but there is still a vast expanse of whiteness in front of them. Tang Zhou couldn't help asking: "How long will it take to walk?" The tall man repeatedly said, "Quickly, soon, when you reach the mountain pass, you can walk up the mountain road and you will be able to cross the mountain." Holding a file, knocked on a tree next to him: "I make a mark all the way and look at the direction. Even if I walk with my eyes closed, I won't get lost." He was about to take a knife and scratch down the bark. Suddenly the short man yelled: "This, this place, we have just been here!"

The Zi Gao immediately scolded: "What are you talking nonsense, don't scare yourself! We have walked no less than seventeen times in this mountain. Didn't we go out soon?"

"But look at the mark on the bark, isn't it the one you made before?"

The Zi Gao's face suddenly turned pale, and he muttered: "How could this happen? It's never happened before, could it, could it...it's a ghost hitting a wall..."

Yan Dan lowered his body and looked at the marks on the trunk, and then carefully looked at the surrounding vegetation. He had indeed been here before. But if a ghost hit the wall, she wouldn't feel it at all.

Just listen to Tang Zhou speaking calmly: "Then walk again, if you still go back to the original place, think of another way."

The two locals immediately re-identified the direction and walked in the front to lead the way.

Yan Dan looked at her surroundings quietly as she walked. In the aftermath, she saw Liu Weiyang move away a few stones on the ground with her toes every time she took a few steps. At first she thought it was his nature. Be cautious and make some marks along the way. But after a long time, I started to feel something was wrong. Marking must be easy to identify, but the stones he arranged are disorderly and without any regularity. It seems to be just to kick the stones away.

After walking in the vast white fog for about half an hour, the short local man turned his head excitedly and pointed forward: "This is the mountain crossing. It seems that I just took the wrong direction. Big circles."

Yan Dan glanced at Liu Weiyang quietly, only to see that he did not squint, his eyes were calm, and he did not even have the common sense of being afraid of worry.

When she thought about it carefully, she found something strange: the two locals said that they had walked seventeen or eight times in the mountains, and there was no reason to identify the wrong direction, unless they were playing mystery. But looking at their pale and uncertain faces just now, it would be too powerful if they all pretended to be. But when she wanted to, this approach was too redundant.

Since this path can't be figured out, there is another reason. And this reason should be Liu Weiyang. She saw Liu Weiyang disappear with her own eyes, but then saw him appear out of thin air in the next moment. Is this dazzling for a while? If not, how long has he been away, and what is he going to do? Also, why did Liu Weiyang remove those stones intentionally or unintentionally?

She suddenly remembered that a long time ago in Kuanglan Mountain, the weather was sultry and she couldn't sleep, so she wanted to go to the lake to get some breath. As a result, Yu Mo didn't sleep either, standing under the moon with his positive and negative hands. Yan Dan approached, only to see that the ground was full of small stones, dotted all over. The placement of each stone seemed unremarkable, but it seemed to have some kind of mystery. Yu Mo turned his head and glanced at her, then looked down at the ground. Yan Dan was very strange. He wanted to come closer and was held by Yu Mo: "These stones are arranged according to Fuxi's gossip. There is no return."

Yan Dan didn't believe it, but when she walked in, the foreground of her eyes suddenly changed, and the surroundings were murderous, and she wandered around where she left. Fortunately, Yu Mo finally pulled her out. After half a year, she saw Yu Mo cautiously, for fear that he might provoke the Lord of the Mountain, and threw her into the stone formation.

If the reason they were walking in the same place just now was because they walked into a Fuxi gossip array, then who was it? Liu Weiyang noticed that someone had put up a formation there and wanted to trap them, but why didn't he mention anything? She wanted to ask him directly, but suddenly changed her mind. Since he didn't say anything, she should have his reason. If Liu Weiyang had no intentions, she would have started asking like this instead; if he was really kind, her question would probably have broken his business.

Yan Dan raised his head and looked forward, only to see a drizzle of rain floating in the mist, blowing head-on on his cheeks, and there was a shallow figure coming from the mist. The man lifted his clothes with one hand and stepped on clogs, his face blurred, every step seemed to be walking in the clouds, his body was light and elegant, and there was such an indescribable breath.
