"Lingsha, is that you?" Yun Tianhe turned around.”
Lingsha saw that his tone was calm and he was not surprised at all that she suddenly appeared behind him. She was a little discouraged and complained,"Sigh, how boring. You didn't even get a shock when I suddenly appeared. You didn't even move your eyebrows.”
Tian He shook his head and said," Father said that a man is fearless in this world. There's nothing to be afraid of."”Lingsha thought to herself,"Nonsense. If your father were standing in front of you, I'd like to see if you'd be afraid…""Alright, alright, it was just a joke. Why are you so serious like a block of wood…Oh right, let me ask you, have you really thought it through?”
When Tian He heard the words " together with her ", he felt happy for some reason. He couldn't help but giggle,"" Mm, hehe, alright, alright…" Lingsha saw his silly face and was secretly angry. What is this savage thinking…""To be honest, for someone like Mengli, although she doesn't know her background, her adoptive parents treat her so well. It's really a little enviable…Sigh, it's a pity that not everyone has this kind of fortune…However, she's still a rich young miss. Strange, her attitude towards monsters is the same as yours. How interesting.”
"I think so, haha…" Ling Sha rolled her eyes." Humph. One has been a savage on the mountaintop since young, while the other has been a rich young lady at home since young. They have similar thoughts. No wonder they want you to be their son-in-law!”Tian He's face turned red, and he heard Lingsha taunt,""Hmph, Mengli is going to cultivate with us. Why are you so happy? If you don't give up your lust, be careful that the peach blossom tribulation will take your life in the future!”As he spoke, he made a face at Xiang Tianhe.
" Lingsha," Tian He thought for a while and asked," You, you don't like Mengli?”"No, why are you suddenly asking?" Lingsha asked curiously.”"N-nothing," Tian He hurriedly replied.”
The pavilion suddenly fell silent, and Tian He didn't know what to talk about. Bored, he tried to guess what Mengli would give him as a gift tomorrow, but he couldn't figure it out. Suddenly, he saw Lingsha's sorrowful expression, which was exactly the same as that day on Qingluan Peak. He was puzzled when he heard Lingsha say faintly,""Actually…is it really that important to know who likes who and who hates who? Although there were thousands of people in the world, everyone came and went alone. There was no one else to rely on and accompany them. No matter how sincere their feelings were, no matter how deep their worries were, there would still be a day when they would part.”He raised his head and looked straight at the Milky Way." Just like your father and mother. In the end, how could they resist the separation of life and death?"
Tian He was stunned. He had never thought about these things. After a long time, he said,"" No…You're wrong. Although I can't explain it, it shouldn't be like this…" Lingsha was silent for a long time before she suddenly snorted."Hmph, you brat, it hasn't been long since you left the mountain, and you've already learned how to scold me!”His tone returned to its usual stubbornness and pride. After a while, Tian He said,""Hey, what's wrong? Have you become mute?"
" No, no," Tian He said hesitantly," I feel like…sometimes you don't seem like Lingsha…No…like another Lingsha…""You! What this and that? I'm not a monster who can change.”His heart was slightly moved. He wanted to say something, but he could not say it.
At this moment, a maid in red walked forward and said to the two of them,"Young Master Yun, Miss Han, it's time to eat. Madam asked me to invite you.”The two of them could only put down their worries and follow the maid to the dining room. The Liu family was already waiting there. Seeing the two of them arrive, Liu Shifeng said happily,""Come, come, come. Nephew, let's celebrate today!”As she spoke, she picked up a large piece of meat and placed it in Tian He's bowl. Tian He naturally did not refuse anyone, but Lingsha and Mengli seemed to have their own worries. They hastily ate a little and stopped eating. Seeing that her daughter was not eating, Ruan Ci advised,""Li-er, you eat a little more. Walking so much in the morning, you must be starving.”Meng Li shook her head. Seeing that her parents were a little worried, she had no choice but to eat a little more. Then, she stood up and said to Liu Shifeng,""Father, daughter will go to Uncle Zhong's house now.”
Liu Shifeng advised," Li-er, you're too tired today. Go tomorrow morning."”Meng Li shook her head." Father, I'm leaving with Young Master Yun tomorrow morning. There's no time."”Liu Shifeng let out a long sigh." Sigh, then Li-er, you go ahead. Don't tire yourself out."”His tone was very sad, thinking that he would be parting with his daughter tomorrow, and his heart was filled with sadness. Meng Li was also a little sad and said," Father, it's okay. I'll be back very soon. Tonight, I'll accompany you and mother well."”Liu Shifeng waved his hand.”
Meng Li walked to the door of the Liu residence and saw Tian He and Lingsha following them. She asked,""Young Master Yun, Lingsha, are you going too?”Tian He nodded." I have nothing to do anyway. I might be able to help if I follow you around."”Lingsha said," I…I don't know much about medicine, but I heard that the young lady has seen many famous doctors. I also want to go and see them and get to know those doctors. Maybe…Sigh, anyway, it might be useful if I go…" Mengli was also very happy to see that the two of them were willing to go together. "Big Brother Pei, how do I get to Uncle Zhong's house?" he asked Pei Jian, who was standing by the door.”
Pei Jian replied,"It's the second one in the east of the city. Miss, I'll take you there."”Meng Li smiled and shook her head." Big Brother Pei, you follow my father to court all day long. You're also very tired. Today is a holiday, so rest well. We can go by ourselves."”With that, the three of them left the Liu residence without waiting for Pei Jian to reply.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at a small courtyard. There were a few peach trees growing in the courtyard. At this time, the peach blossoms had already fallen, leaving only bare branches stretching everywhere. It was obvious that they had not been trimmed for a long time. Uncle Zhong was standing in the courtyard, sighing and muttering to himself. Meng Li walked up and explained her purpose of coming. Uncle Zhong was extremely grateful. He sighed." Sigh, it's been nine years. I didn't expect that there would be such a thoughtful person like Miss Liu. I'm really grateful for your kind intentions."”
"Uncle Zhong, don't say that. This is what I should do." "However, I only know a little about spells, so I don't know if I can help…" He turned to Tian He and Lingsha and introduced them to Uncle Zhong."These two are my friends and also people with special abilities. If it's convenient, can you let them meet Miss Ouyang?”
"Of course," Uncle Zhong said."Please come in."”After saying that, he welcomed the three of them into the house. She saw that the house was very simple and crude. There were not many decent pieces of furniture. It seemed that Uncle Zhong had pawned most of the valuable furniture in order to treat the young lady. All that was left was a rather luxurious bed. A young girl in luxurious clothes was lying on it. Her eyes were closed as if she was sleeping soundly. Uncle Zhong sighed." This is my young miss. Sigh, she has been unconscious for nine years. Many famous doctors have seen her, but they are all helpless." What's even stranger is that after such a long time, Young Lady's appearance hasn't aged at all. Those famous doctors also can't say anything about it. It's simply too strange…"
Seeing Meng Li staring blankly, Tian He said," Mengli, what did you think of?" Meng Li closed her eyes and thought carefully, saying with certainty,"" Just as I thought, she's not sick. She's just asleep. She's been dreaming all these years…"
"Dream?" Uncle Zhong was shocked. However, how could Miss sleep for nine years?”Meng Li said," She was cast a curse by someone. As long as the curse is not solved, she will continue to sleep."”"Curse!" Uncle Zhong said painfully. Heavens, could it be that ever since the old master died, this house had been haunted by demons? Why is even Young Lady…" He suddenly knelt down to Meng Li and kowtowed repeatedly,""Miss Liu, since you know that Miss was harmed, please save her! I beg you!" Meng Li hurriedly helped him up." Uncle Zhong, get up quickly. Don't be anxious. I'll cast a spell to enter her dream now and see what's going on."”
Tian He was a little worried, Mengli, will you be in danger?”Lingsha also said," That's right, Mengli. Why don't I go in with you so that we can take care of each other?"”Meng Li shook her head and said," No need. You don't know this kind of immortal technique. You can't enter." Don't worry, I have my ways. Nothing will happen.”After reciting the incantation, Tianhe and Lingsha felt a white light flash before their eyes. When they opened their eyes, Meng Li's body had already disappeared.
Liu Mengli entered Miss Ouyang's dream and saw that she was in an empty field. There were all kinds of flowers blooming on the field. They were colorful and cute. Not far away, a woman in luxurious clothes and a man in blue robes stood together. The woman's appearance and attire were exactly the same as the person lying on the bed. It was Miss Ouyang. She looked at the man and muttered,"Husband, were my parents really killed by bandits? Why…I feel like this isn't real…"
The man smiled and said,"Ming Zhu, what's wrong?" Are you feeling unwell? Why are you letting your imagination run wild again?" He put his arm around Ouyang Mingzhu's shoulder and gently embraced her. Ouyang Mingzhu's body trembled slightly. She grabbed his clothes tightly and said in a trembling voice," But, I…I had a dream. I dreamed that there was a person covered in bugs. Those bugs were eating his body. It was so scary…The scariest thing was that person…He seemed to be my father…Although I don't remember seeing his face…"
"Mingzhu, it was just a dream. Don't think too much about it." When I saved you from the bandits, you were already too frightened and lost your memory. How could you dream of the past?”Ouyang Mingzhu held his hand and said uneasily,"I…I'm really Ouyang Mingzhu? "Why is it that every time I want to recall something, my head hurts and my temper becomes irritable…" The man said gently,"I don't know why."Sigh, little fool, isn't this name engraved on the jade pendant on your chest? Even if you're not her, it's just a title. You'll always be my wife, and I'll protect you forever.”
Ouyang Mingzhu felt a little more at ease. She looked at her husband and whispered,"Husband…you're so good to me."
Suddenly, the blue-robed man turned around and shouted,"Who is it? Come out!"
Liu Mengli knew that she had been discovered. She had noticed that the blue-robed man was acting strangely, so she had hidden herself with the technique of " Wind to Cloud Concealment ". She wanted to listen to their conversation more so that she could find a way to break the curse. Unexpectedly, the blue-robed man was very skilled. Not long after, he discovered that someone was spying on him from the side. Liu Mengli had no choice but to show herself. When Ouyang Mingzhu saw Liu Mengli, she asked curiously,""Eh? It's really rare. Husband, you and I have been living in seclusion here, and no outsiders have ever come.”
"Who are you?" the man asked sternly. Why are you here?" His voice was fierce, but his eyes revealed a trace of fear. "Husband, don't be so fierce. You'll scare this lady…" Ouyang Mingzhu said angrily.
Liu Mengli walked up to Ouyang Mingzhu and asked,""Don't you know that you've been dreaming?”
"What?" Ouyang Mingzhu was shocked.”
"Shut up!" the man shouted sternly.”"Mingzhu, it's getting late. We should go home."”Ouyang Mingzhu was slightly puzzled. She hesitated and said," But this lady…" The man said,""She's just an outsider. You don't have to pay attention to her.”Ouyang Mingzhu was still a little puzzled. When she saw her husband's gentle gaze, she could only say,"Alright, I'll listen to you. Husband, you always have a reason for what you do.”The two of them walked side by side towards the wooden house in the distance.
"Miss Ouyang…" The blue-robed man suddenly turned around and pointed at the sky."Retreat!" Meng Li only felt a strong force surge in front of her and unconsciously cried out,""Ah!"
In a flash, she was back in her room. Lingsha asked anxiously,"Mengli, what's wrong? Are you hurt?" Meng Li wiped the cold sweat on her forehead and shook her head,""I'm fine. I was just careless and was ejected from the dream by a spell.”
Uncle Zhong was very anxious." Miss Liu, my Miss, my Miss, how is she?”Meng Li sighed." I saw her in my dream, but she seemed to only remember the things in the dream. That curse was too powerful. Her consciousness was almost swallowed…"
"Then, then is there any way to save my Miss?" Uncle Zhong asked anxiously.”Meng Li's face was filled with regret and apology as she said,"" To make a person sleep for nine years and spend his days in a dream, such a tyrannical curse must be cast in a formation. If we don't know where the other party is setting up the formation, there's no way to break it…I'm sorry, Uncle Zhong, I couldn't help you at all…" As soon as he said this, Tian He and Lingsha sighed. They didn't expect that the three of them's enthusiastic help would be useless.
Uncle Zhong sighed and said," No, Miss Liu, please don't say that. If it wasn't for you, I would have thought that Miss was sick and didn't even know that she was harmed…Sigh, I'm really sorry for the late Master…""Uncle Zhong, forgive me for being presumptuous, but may I ask if the Ouyang Clan had once formed a feud with someone? And not from the Central Plains? Also, you said that Miss Ouyang's father died suddenly. What exactly is going on?”
Uncle Zhong shook his head and said," Master is a very honest businessman. He has to run all over the world to do business. It's inevitable that he has offended someone in the business world, but it's not to the extent of having a blood feud, right?" His tone suddenly turned sorrowful and he could not help but cry." Speaking of Master's passing, it was as if the sky had collapsed…One night nine years ago, it was Miss who first found Master's corpse…It was simply, simply tragic…Master's entire body was crawling with poisonous insects, bitten beyond recognition…"
When the three of them heard this, they shuddered. To use such a cruel method to kill a person, what kind of deep hatred would that be? If he had offended someone in the business world, then the murderer was too vicious. " This man…" Tian He murmured." He's so pitiful. He's much worse off than my father…"
Uncle Zhong continued," From then on, it was as if Miss's soul had left her body. She didn't eat or drink, and she didn't speak at all…After a few days, she suddenly fell asleep and didn't wake up again…Madam's body wasn't very good to begin with, and she was heartbroken. In less than half a year, she went with Old Master…Sigh, Old Master and Madam both went."Uncle Zhong, I feel that the death of your master and the coma of your young lady are definitely related…Although I can't save Miss Ouyang now, if I see that formation one day, I will definitely recognize it.”
Uncle Zhong thanked her profusely." Miss Liu, this old man thanks you for your great kindness…" He was about to kneel down again when Liu Mengli quickly supported him. The three of them saw that they could not save Miss Ouyang for the time being, so they could only take their leave. Uncle Zhong sent the three of them out of the courtyard and thanked them repeatedly.
The three of them returned to the Liu residence and had dinner. Mengli accompanied her parents to talk in the room while Tianhe and Lingsha went back to the guest room to rest. The night passed, and the next morning, when Tian He was about to wake up, he suddenly heard the footsteps of a maid outside the door. Someone asked," Young Master Yun, have you gotten up?"
Tian He rubbed his sleepy eyes and answered vaguely. The maid continued," Young Master Yun, Miss guessed that you probably don't like to be served, so she invited you to have breakfast. After you're done, you'll go to the gate of the Liu residence to prepare for your departure."”After saying that, he brought in a lunch box and went out. Tianhe finished his breakfast in a few bites, packed his luggage, and went to the entrance of the Liu residence. Seeing that Lingsha and Mengli were already standing outside, he felt a little embarrassed.""S-Sorry, I woke up a little late and made you wait.”
Liu Mengli smiled. Young Master Yun, look, this is what I said I was going to give you yesterday.”After saying that, he took out a brand new longbow and handed it to Tian He. Tian He took it, looked at it carefully, and said happily,""This bow is not bad. The wood is good, and the grain of the wood is even. The arrow shot out must be strong and the arrow path is not off. Moreover, there are small stones added to the wood. That's great!" He fiddled with it in his hand, clearly liking it very much.
Lingsha laughed." What small stone? It's obviously jade. Savage just doesn't know what's good for you!" However, Mengli, your taste is really not bad. The person who made this bow did not cut corners at all. The jade pieces were all polished with good jade. Such a 'jade waist bow' must be worth a lot.”
Liu Mengli shook her head modestly and said,""It's nothing. I saw that Young Master Yun's bow had been used for a long time and seemed a little worn out, so I wanted to give him a new one. "Actually, I don't know much about the pros and cons of bows. It's all thanks to Boss Liu of Iron Pool House. His craftsmanship is superb, and he's very kind. He really helped us a lot. Before we leave the city, why don't we go to his place and pick out a few self-defense items?" Before he finished speaking, Liu Shifeng shouted from behind him,"I'm not going to go back.""Li-er, Li-er, quickly come and see. Father has already prepared everything for you guys!”
The three of them turned around and saw the Liu couple standing behind them. Ruan Ci was carrying a basket of snacks in her hand. Not far away, Pei Jian was walking over with a horse-drawn carriage. "Father?" Liu Mengli was shocked. This is…?" "Haha!" Liu Shifeng laughed. This is the carriage and horse that Father specially picked for you. The carriage has already been laid with a blanket. Li-er, you can sleep comfortably inside, and when you wake up, you'll be in Chen Prefecture.”
Lingsha couldn't help but smile." I say, Magistrate, this carriage looks good, but if we ride it on the official road, we don't know when we'll reach Chenzhou. I think we should forget about it."”"What?" Liu Shifeng asked anxiously. You don't want a car? He turned around and shouted at Pei Jian,"Pei Jian, quickly go and get three horses. Don't take this carriage for now!"”
Pei Jian responded and was about to turn around to leave when Meng Li waved her hand and said,""Father, although I have never traveled far away, Miss Han is quite experienced. I will listen to her arrangements first. At most, I will bring some silver with me so that I won't be short of money. I don't think we need these carriages anymore.”Liu Shifeng had no choice but to listen to his daughter and let Pei Jian pull the car back.
Ruan Ci walked up to her daughter and said gently,""Li-er, bring these snacks along to eat.”Meng Li took the snacks, knowing that with this departure, she didn't know when she would be able to meet her parents again. Thinking of her parents 'kindness and care for her these years, she couldn't help but throw herself into her mother's embrace and sob,""Mother…you two must take care."
Liu Shifeng and Ruan Ci's eyes were red. Liu Shifeng turned his back and forced his voice not to change due to sadness." Li-er…outside, you must take good care of yourself…" Ruan Ci wiped her eyes and forced a smile,""Old Master, we've said everything we need to say last night. Let's not talk too much now. If we continue like this, we'll waste their time.”Liu Mengli forced a smile and took out a sachet."" Father, Mother, this is a sachet made of fragrant grass. I will carry it with me forever. It is said that the further it is from home, the stronger the fragrance. One day, I will return to your side…"
Tianhe and Lingsha were also a little sad to see their family leave. Lingsha quickly stepped forward to smooth things over and said with a smile,"Magistrate, please relax. Even if I can't do anything else, I know a lot of Jianghu rules. Mengli will be fine if she follows me.”Tian He also said," Yeah, Liu Bobo, don't worry. I will definitely, definitely not let anyone bully Mengli!"”Ruan Ci nodded and sighed." Young Master Yun, Miss Han, Li-er has never gone out before. Please take good care of her outside."”
Meng Li said goodbye to her parents, and the three of them walked out of the city. The Liu couple stood there and watched the three figures disappear into the endless stream of people. They were extremely sad. "Old Master, I'm back. Eh?" Pei Jian walked over from behind. Where's Miss?" Liu Shifeng shook his head and Pei Jian understood. He looked into the distance and whispered,"Miss…take care…"
Meng Li and the other two walked to the city gate, and Tian He saw a big banner floating in front of a shop by the roadside, with the word " Tie " written on it, and asked curiously," Mengli, what shop is this?" Meng Li looked at it and smiled." Young Master Yun, this is the Iron Pool Residence I told you about."”"That's great! My wooden sword has been used to cut down many wild beasts, and it's almost broken. I can buy a new one…but…" Tianhe said happily."Lingsha, I don't have any money. Can you give me some?”
Lingsha snorted and said," You savage, you're not stingy when it comes to money…Forget it, since, since…since you were still loyal that day. Besides, it's time for me to buy a new weapon. I might as well buy yours as well."”Tian He was overjoyed and laughed foolishly. Naturally, he was ridiculed by Lingsha. Meng Li laughed secretly.
The three of them walked towards the shop. On the way, Meng Li introduced them to Tian He,""The owner of this Iron Pool House is called Liu Debin. He really lives up to his name. Ever since he opened this blacksmith shop here, there has been a lot of traffic and guests in front of his door every day. I don't know why, but Boss Liu's craftsmanship is so good that no other blacksmith in Shouyang can compare to him…"
As they were talking, the three of them had already arrived at the Iron Pool House. Inside the shop, a middle-aged man in a short shirt was hammering a piece of red iron. Every time he hammered, unlike other blacksmiths, sparks flew everywhere. The sound was also much softer, but the iron piece stretched according to his style. It was obvious that he was quite unique in hammering and using strength. It saved energy and reduced danger. The apprentices who were free next to him watched respectfully, not willing to miss a glance. In a short while, a long sword was formed. The man threw the sword into the clear water, and with a "chi" sound, a white mist appeared. He said happily,"It's done."
Liu Mengli saw that he had finished forging the sword and said,"" Boss Liu..." Liu Debin turned around and saw that it was Mengli."Miss Liu, what brings you here? Please sit, please sit." Liu Mengli waved her hand and smiled,""Boss Liu, two of my friends want to pick two weapons. I want you to help them choose.”
"Big Miss Liu, you're my parents. Why can't I?" Liu Debin laughed. The three of you, come and take a look." The three of them walked to the back of the hall and saw that the walls were filled with weapons, from spears to daggers. Tianhe walked to the place where the long sword was hung and looked left and right, not knowing which one to choose.
Liu Debin walked up with a smile. Just as he was about to introduce the sword to Tian He, he suddenly saw "This is a sword" behind Tian He. He was shocked and asked,""Young hero, where did you get this sword?”Tian He told the truth, and Liu Debin said in surprise,""Your father, is your father a master of Qionghua Sect?”
"Qionghua Sect?" Tian He was confused. "I don't understand…" Lingsha reacted."By the way, Xuanji said that they were from the Qionghua Sect. Are your parents also disciples of the Qionghua Sect?”Liu Debin sighed." This sword is exceptionally sharp. It also contains a huge amount of spiritual power. It has the ability to connect with the creation of heaven and earth." If it wasn't something from the sky, I'm afraid that only Qionghua Sect could forge this sword in the world…"
"Boss Liu, do you also know about Qionghua Sect?" Meng Li asked curiously.”Liu Debin nodded and said,"To be honest, I'm originally an outsider." When I was seven years old, my parents sent me to the Yuying Sect on Mount Kunlun to cultivate and become a Daoist child. At that time, I was still young and only felt that the days of cultivation were lonely and boring. I wanted to sneak back home several times, but the sect was very strict and I never had the chance. Twelve years passed like this. When I was nineteen years old, I met Elder Zong Lian of Qionghua Sect on Kunlun Mountain by chance. He saw my strange bone structure and taught me a few ways to forge iron and sword. I returned to the sect and was bored, so I forged iron and played by myself. Unexpectedly, I was scolded by master, saying that I didn't do my job properly and lost the face of the Yuying Sect. In a fit of anger, I expelled myself from the sect and wanted to join the Qionghua Sect. However, I was reported by several elders of the Yuying Sect, and the Qionghua Sect refused to accept me. I had no choice but to return to Shouyang and open my own shop to support myself. Qionghua Faction's sword-making magic is unrivaled in the world. Although I've only learned a little bit, it's enough. I've been living a carefree life in Shouyang these years…"
Liu Debin then looked at " This is a sword " and sighed. He said to Tian He,"" Young hero, this sword is unparalleled in the world and is indeed a rare weapon, but…sigh, although humans have spirits, so do swords. If the two are not compatible, a divine weapon may also be a lethal weapon…""Eh? A sword was a sword, how could it be a weapon?”"Divine weapons are made by nature, how can mortals control them…I'm afraid that the so-called treasures of immortals are not suitable for everyone…" Liu Debin sighed.
Tian He was confused, but Meng Li was deep in thought. After a while, Liu Debin said,"Alright, let's not talk about this." Dare I ask, are you going to Qionghua Sect to cultivate?”Tian He nodded, and Liu Debin said,""In this case, it can be considered as the will of the heavens. I have been grateful for Elder Zong Lian's kindness all these years, but I have no chance to meet him again. If you can enter the Qionghua Sect, please express my gratitude on my behalf.”As he spoke, he walked into the inner room. After a while, he came out with a long sword and handed it to Tian He.""This is the best sword I've forged over the years. It's called 'Heaven Frightening'. I'm fated with you, so I'll give it to you.”
Tian He thanked him profusely. Liu Debin picked two short swords from the wall and gave them to Lingsha. Lingsha insisted on paying, but Liu Debin had no choice but to accept it.
The three of them walked out of the shop and became more curious about the path to immortality. Walking out of the city gate, Tian He saw a carriage by the roadside with a piece of paper stuck on the back of the carriage. Curious, he walked forward. On the paper, there was a woman who was twisting her waist and shaking her head as if she was dancing. However, her head was big and her body was small. The top was thick and the bottom was thin, which was extremely out of proportion.
The more Tian He looked, the more puzzled he became. Lingsha walked up from behind him and asked,""Hey, let's go. What are you looking at?”Before he could finish his question, he was also attracted by the picture. He saw a poem inscribed beside it and read,"Where Hibiscus dances, she swings left and right like a duck. I'm so happy to see you waving your sleeves and twisting your waist…"Before she finished reading, she couldn't help but laugh."Ha, haha ~ This is too funny. Who would write a poem like this?‘Swaying left and right like a duck ', was he praising or insulting her? And this woman, could it be that 'Furong'? "She looks so unique…" He laughed so hard that he couldn't even straighten his back. He had never seen Lingsha so happy before, so he couldn't help but laugh as well.
Suddenly, an angry child's voice came from behind.""How dare you! How dare you mock my calligraphy!" The two of them turned around and saw a boy in satin with his hands on his hips staring at them angrily. Lingsha smiled,"Mo ~ Bao ~?" Where is it?" "Damn it!" the boy said angrily. Didn't you just read it? You're still talking nonsense!"
Lingsha was shocked. Are you talking about the piece of paper stuck on the back of the carriage?”"Of course!" the boy said proudly. I must announce my outstanding literary talent so that everyone in Shouyang can see it!”
Lingsha held back her laughter and said to Tian He,""Tianhe, let's go. Don't let Mengli wait too long.”The boy saw the mocking look on Lingsha's face and said angrily,""Wait, stop! How dare you underestimate me! Let me tell you, my father won three consecutive victories in the Golden Roll and is now the Minister of Rites! Although I, Jing Yang, have no achievements, who doesn't know that I am the number one scholar in Chen Province?”It turned out that the boy's father was an important official in the court. His family was a scholarly family. This child had read a lot of books since he was young, but he was quite arrogant. He always thought that he was talented and did some ridiculous things.
When Lingsha heard this, she was a little surprised.""Your father's surname is Jing? The Minister of Rites again? Is your father Jing Huan or Lord Jing?”His words were filled with respect. " That's right," Jing Yang said happily." I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable. You know my father's name."”Lingsha looked at the painting again and shook her head."I say, Little Young Master, your father is not you. Don't show off your little ability, okay? If this is the number one talent in Chen Province, then I'm the number one beauty in the Central Plains…"
"Nonsense!" Jing Yang said angrily. What number one beauty of the Central Plains? Do you dare to compete with me in poetry?”Lingsha laughed." Don't give me that. I don't have time to play with children." Tianhe, let's go." "Coward!" Jing Yang refused to let it go. Are you afraid?"
Before he finished speaking, a maid walked over and said,"Young Master, Madam said that we are going back to Chen Zhou!”" Humph! Mother is waiting for me," Jing Yang said regretfully." I'll let it go today. Come to Chen Province when you have time. We'll have a competition again!"”With that, she was carried into the carriage by the maid and left.
Seeing the child leave, Lingsha couldn't help but laugh." Hehe, I didn't expect that such a capable official like Lord Jing would have such a useless son…" He turned to Tianhe and said,""Let's go. When we reach the Chen Province, we can see if this young master has become the number one scholar of the Chen Province.”The two of them returned to the city gate and saw Mengli smiling as she stood there waiting. They were both a little embarrassed. Meng Li saw the two people's embarrassment and said with a smile,""Let's go. The official road is in front.”
Lingsha thought for a moment, then shook her head." It's too slow to take the official road. Huaishuo and the others 'sword control technique can travel ten thousand miles in an instant. I'm afraid they've already arrived in Chen Province. We can only try our luck and hope that they'll stay in Chen Province for a few more days. We have to speed up on our side to have a chance of meeting them." I have a shortcut that can take us directly to Chen Province.”
Tian He remembered what he had said that night and asked curiously,""Right, Lingsha, where is that shortcut?”Lingsha smiled proudly and said," Hehe, I've actually thought it through. This time, we'll take the underground palace of Huainan's royal mausoleum. If everything goes smoothly, we'll be able to reach the Bowlmound Mountain near Chenzhou in no time. Compared to taking the official road, it'll save a lot of trouble."”
Meng Li was shocked," Huainan King's Mausoleum? But…it wouldn't be good to enter that place rashly with an illegal order. "Besides, your wanted notice has just been removed…" Lingsha smiled."Don't be afraid. There's always room for change. Besides, we're not going to plunder artifacts, we're just borrowing someone else's territory to be a passageway. The King of Huainan is a dignified king, he shouldn't be so stingy, right?”Seeing that Meng Li still had a hesitant look, he said,""Sigh, actually, I don't want to run around in other people's mausoleums, but time is really tight this time. If I don't take this route, I might never catch up to Huaishuo and the others…Tianhe, don't you think so?”"Yes, you're right!" Tian He nodded.”
Meng Li said," Since you all think so, then take this path."”"Good!" Lingsha said happily. Actually, the mausoleum is very spectacular. If you don't go and broaden your horizons, it's really not worth it!”The three of them walked along the mountain path. Bagong Mountain was lush with vegetation. It was said that during the battle of Fei River between Qin and Jin, Fu Jian, the commander of the Qin army, stood on Shouyang City and looked at Bagong Mountain from afar. He saw the vegetation on the mountain swaying in the wind and was afraid. He thought that the mountain was full of soldiers of Jin army. Therefore, the idiom of "every tree and grass is afraid of soldiers" was passed down. Wherever the three of them went, they were almost all covered by the shade of trees. It was very cool, and it reduced the pain of walking.
Not long after, the three of them came to a flat open space at the waist of the mountain. In front of them was a huge tomb. On the tombstone in front of the tomb were engraved the words "Tomb of King Huainan of Han". Beside the tombstone stood two soldiers. Seeing the three of them arrive, the two of them went forward and shouted,"What are you doing? This place is impassable! Hurry up and get lost!"
"How dare you!" Han Lingsha was furious. Do you know who this lady behind me is?”A soldier looked at Liu Mengli and said with a smile,"" Yo, this girl is pretty good looking…" Another person said disdainfully,""No matter how beautiful she is, she's still a woman. Get lost! This is not a place where you can walk around casually.”
" Hmph!" Lingsha said angrily." This lady is the daughter of Shouyang County Magistrate. She is here to patrol on behalf of her father. You two have eyes but don't recognize Mount Tai. Hurry up and move aside!"”The man laughed." I knew it. She's really a fairy. How could she come to this damn place?" Second Brother, I think you've gone crazy thinking about women.”"Boss, aren't you the same?" The man beside him laughed. "You complain every day, blame the officer for not giving you time off to pick up chicks…" Turning to Meng Li, he said with a smile,""Go away, go away! No matter how beautiful you are, I won't let you pass! But…if you want to stay and play with me, you can consider it…"
Liu Mengli's face turned red and she said angrily,""You-!" She had grown up in a deep courtyard, loved by her parents and respected by her servants. She had never suffered such humiliation before, so she was so angry that she could not speak. Lingsha, who was standing at the side, was also furious and shouted,""Shut your stinky mouth! How dare you offend the daughter of the county magistrate!”
"The daughter of the county magistrate?" The older soldier sneered. So what? Her father was incompetent. A while ago, grave robbers actually appeared here. The emperor had issued an imperial edict. Now, the royal tomb of the previous dynasty was under the direct jurisdiction of the capital. It had nothing to do with the county magistrate!”Another person also cursed,"Damn it, I heard that the thief is a woman. I wonder what she looks like." Pah! If it weren't for that woman, why would we have come to guard this damn place? Not only did we not get any benefits, but even demons have appeared recently. It's really a f * cking hard job! Damn it, that female thief would definitely not have an asshole when she gives birth to a child in the future!”
When Lingsha heard this, anger surged on her face." What did you say?!" Tian He was also angry." You guys, don't curse!" he said angrily.”Seeing that the two of them dared to retort, the two soldiers raised their weapons and said,"So what? Are you courting death?"
Seeing that the four of them were about to fight, Liu Mengli held back her anger and pulled the two of them over." Young Master Yun, Lingsha, ignore them, follow me…" He pulled the two of them to the shade of a tree in the distance."At least you know what's good for you! If you say any more nonsense, I'll capture all of you and lock you up! Motherf * cker!"
Lingsha was so angry that she sat down on the ground, her anger still lingering."I'm so angry! Those two bastards are full of nonsense!”Meng Li sighed and said," It's all some crazy talk. Why bother with them?"”Lingsha was so angry that she slapped the ground repeatedly." The most hateful thing is that now that they already know Mengli's background, we can't just knock them out directly! Sigh, what a miscalculation! I thought I could easily pass the test by revealing Mengli's identity…"
"Lingsha, I still don't understand. Isn't Liu Bobo the boss?" He had so many subordinates, why should he be afraid of these two people?”Lingsha said angrily," Of course we don't have to be afraid of these two bastards. But their boss is much more powerful than the county magistrate. That's why the county magistrate doesn't dare to provoke them!" Sigh, it looks like we can only find another way around…"
Liu Mengli thought for a moment and suddenly said,""Lingsha, I have an idea. Come with me." As he spoke, he walked towards the mausoleum. When that soldier saw Meng Li walking over, he smiled roguishly and said,""What's wrong? They saw Mengli wave her right hand, and the two of them only felt a wave of dizziness in front of their eyes. They said anxiously,"" What are you doing…" Before he could finish, he fell to the ground and fainted.
Lingsha and Tian He walked forward. Seeing this scene, they were both surprised. Meng Li explained," They were hit by a spell and will only wake up after a while. After waking up, they won't remember what happened just now. Of course, they won't remember us either." Let's go."
"Really?" Lingsha said happily. It was too wonderful, there was actually such a spell in the world! Good Mengli, you're really amazing!" Meng Li shook her head and said," Actually, this spell isn't as powerful as you said. It's only useful for ordinary people. If there's someone who cultivates or has strong mental power, it's useless at all." "Moreover…" He sighed and said a little sadly,"" Memories are the most important thing in a person's heart. It's too cruel to take them away so casually…"
"Mengli, your heart is really good," Lingsha comforted her. However, it was obvious that these two fellows were used to being tyrannical and weren't good people at all, so what you did wasn't a bad thing!”" Yes, yes, yes," Tian He said." My father said that we must be hard-hearted when dealing with bad people!" Mengli, you did the right thing!" Liu Mengli nodded slightly and whispered,""Thank you, I feel much better now…Let's go before the guards wake up.”
"Wait!" Lingsha laughed. In my opinion, these two guys just said a lot of bad things about Mengli and me. Even the county magistrate was humiliated by them. It would be too unreasonable not to teach them a lesson!”Then, he went forward and untied their money bags. He smiled and said,"Hmph, let them spend some money so that they can know how good their mouths are in the future!”Tianhe and Mengli both laughed.
Lingsha walked to the side of the grave and pointed at a large rock.""Here, this is it. The celestial river will push it away, and we will have a way in!”That stone was nearly as tall as a person. Meng Li looked at it and said somewhat worriedly,"" It's such a big rock. I think it's better for us to go together,""Don't look at it just because it's big, but it's not heavy. Even I can move this stone, but it will take a little more effort. With Tianhe's brute force, it's definitely not a problem! We'll just cheer for him from the side. Right, Tianhe?"
"Hehe, yeah, count on me!" Tian He laughed foolishly.”He went forward and pushed. As expected, the huge rock was pushed nearly ten feet away. He saw that there was a tunnel with a radius of several feet on the ground that was originally covered by the huge rock. The entrance of the tunnel was neither big nor small, just enough for a person to enter and exit. Lingsha said," Alright, that's it. There's no need to push it too far. There's a bush covering the side. Even if someone passes by, it won't be easy to find them."”
"The people here are really weird. They didn't open the door, but they insisted on opening it under a rock…" Lingsha said angrily."What door? I dug this hole myself! But I personally dug it out with a shovel! Humph, don't look down on just digging a hole, there are many things to pay attention to! "You have to be careful when choosing the location, and you have to shovel evenly. If you don't dig well, it will be terrible if the surrounding collapses…" As he spoke, he gestured proudly.
Tian He hit a snag and suddenly had an idea. He said to Meng Li,""Mengli, between Lingsha and Mouse, who is better at digging holes?”Meng Li couldn't help but laugh out loud. Lingsha didn't hear what Tianhe said clearly and asked suspiciously,""Hey, what are you mumbling about?" Tian He was just about to answer when Meng Li smiled and waved her hand, saying,""It's nothing. Lingsha, let's go in now.”
