Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 657 Invitation (4000)

"This……"

Yang Wanli immediately showed embarrassment, "The young master told the general to keep a low profile, especially not to inquire about the news of the Sima family indiscriminately, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, so the general has not investigated deeply... But please rest assured, the general So I will lead people to investigate secretly, and I will bring back definite news to the young master soon!"

"No, I'm just asking casually, it doesn't matter."

Wu Liang stopped Yang Wanli again, and said with a smile, "Let's go visit the two hot springs first, and you will lead the way."

At this moment, he still doesn't want to enter the Sima family's sight too early, and if the Sima family really has a tomb guard here, Yang Wanli, who is not familiar with the place of his life, will rush to investigate, and he will easily be noticed by the tomb guard. Naturally, the Sima family will soon learn of this news, which will definitely have a great impact on their actions this time.

If the Sima family is accidentally misunderstood that the goal of their trip is their family's ancestral grave, then the problem will definitely become more serious, and it will definitely be difficult to resolve...

However, this did not hinder Wu Liang's eager curiosity.

In addition to sending Yang Wanli to take the risk to investigate, he also had another simple and direct way to find out if there was anything special about the Sima family's ancestral tomb.

This method still relies on Yu Ji, who is good at geomancy.

After entering the mountain, you only need to find a high ground overlooking the panorama of the place and take a closer look. Yu Ji will definitely be able to tell a thing or two about the Fengshui pattern of the Sima family's ancestral grave, so there is no need for close contact at all. The risk is minimal.

"promise."

Yang Wanli responded, and after arranging a few soldiers to stay behind to guard the carriage, he walked ahead and led Wu Liang and others along the stone path to the depths.

But what Wu Liang didn't know was.

Just when they entered the mountain for less than a stick of incense, another very ostentatious carriage team followed one after another.

There were eight carriages in this carriage team. The four carriages in the front were sedan carriages for people, while the four carriages in the back were full of four carts of goods, and were tightly covered with a piece of sackcloth.

Besides.

These carriages also had a small apricot-yellow flag, and on the flag were two black official characters - Sima!
The person who came was none other than someone from the Sima family.

The head of the first domestic servant saw that two carriages and several horses had parked in the open space next to the path, and hurriedly ran to his own carriage to ask for instructions, and then trotted to the front again, quite politely. Shi Li asked: "You are polite, may I ask whose family's guard of honor is this?"

"?"

In addition to the three soldiers of the Huren army, three tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers stayed behind to guard the carriage and horses. They had seen this carriage team early in the morning, and were wondering who it was, but they never thought that the other party was actually He took the initiative to run over to salute and inquire.

Seeing this, the three tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers secretly held down their weapons consciously.

Although they are one-in-a-million soldier kings, they may not be deep-fried dough sticks who have been in the secular world. In addition, when the talented Wu Liang and Cao Chun entered the mountain together, they did not say how to deal with this situation. It made their nerves tense up a little.

Fortunately, the three soldiers of the Tuan Army were all veterans who had been sneaking out with Wu Liang all the year round, and they had quite a lot of experience in this area.

"Courtesy."

A soldier of the Tuan army laughed quite naturally, and said while saluting, "My son came from Leling, the plain, and brought his family to Mei County to join relatives and friends. Why not take a rest via Wen County, my son I heard that there are one or two rather miraculous hot springs here, so I specially came here to visit them."

Pingyuan Leling is the hometown claimed by Wuliang Market.

And Mei County is a county seat close to Chang'an. Dong Zhuo's Meiwu was built here. Not long ago, when Wu Liang went to Shanshan for business, he passed through Mei County and saw the dilapidated Meiwu. Not far from the city, Ma Chao, the son of Ma Teng, and Pang De, the famous general of the Three Kingdoms, were killed.

At that time, the soldier of the Tuo army was also there, so he also knew a little about Mei County, so he was not afraid of being questioned.

"That's why, please wait a moment, everyone."

After hearing what the Huan army soldier said, the head servant ran back to his carriage again, talked to the people inside through the curtain, and then turned back again, saluting again and said to the Tuan army soldier, "My master said that this mother-son spring is indeed the most peculiar sight in Wen County. Since your son came from a long way, it is natural that you should not miss it. You should take a closer look at it."

"That's right, my young master has now entered the mountains for sightseeing."

The Huan army soldier said with a smile.

"My master also said that guests come from afar. My master likes to make friends with people of insight in the world. Now that we have arrived in Wen County, after the end of the tour, can you ask your son to condescend to wait here for a while? After my master has paid homage to the ancestors, and then invite your young master to the mansion to have a talk, it can be regarded as a little fulfillment of the landlord's friendship."

The head servant went on to say, "In today's world, it's time to make more friends with insightful people in the world. Many friends can have one more way out, and maybe we can help each other in some places in the future."

"This……"

The soldiers of the Tauren Army saw the flag on the opponent's carriage, and because the opponent said that he was here to worship the ancestors, it was not difficult to judge that the person who came was the Sima family that Wu Liang had specifically mentioned before, but he did not expect the Sima family to come. People are so "enthusiastic" that they just met by chance, and they want to show their friendship as a landlord, and even express their intention to make friends in their words.

But if you think about it carefully, this is actually not without reasonable reasons.

Although the soldiers of the Tuo People Army stated that Wu Liang was going to Mei County to "seek refuge with relatives and friends", which seemed to be a gesture of fleeing, but even if he was fleeing, the servants need not be said. People are not as good as horses these days. Those who fled in the team must have some prestige and power in the local area, at least they should not be from poor families.

From this, the Sima family believed that Wu Liang still had some energy, so it was not completely unreasonable to try to make friends with him.

of course.

Only the members of the Sima family know what they think.

But the soldiers of the Tau army knew that Wu Liang did not want to provoke the Sima family during this trip, and in his capacity he was not qualified to decide this matter for Wu Liang, so naturally he couldn't answer for a while.

But he has also realized it.

The Sima family may not be completely well-intentioned, and if he rejects the matter now, there may be other consequences, which is definitely not something he can decide.

So after hesitating for a while.

"Forgive me, I'm just a servant, how dare I make a decision for my young master, otherwise, I will send someone to the hot spring to find my young master and explain this matter to him. As for whether my young master will accept your master's invitation , that’s out of my control.”

The soldiers of the Tuan army returned a salute with a low eyebrow and a pleasing expression.

"It's natural."

The head servant laughed indifferently when he heard the words, "My master just wanted to invite your young master to go to the mansion to have a talk, so how can you force your young master to be invited or not, wouldn't it mean that you would not be able to make friends but would instead become grudges? "

"good."

The Huan army soldier also nodded with a smile, then winked at another Huan army soldier behind him and said, "Go and find the young master, and explain the matter to the young master in detail, without any slight Mistakes."

"promise!"

The soldier responded, and then glanced at Sima's carriage team, then ran quickly along the stone path into the mountain.

And the head servant didn't say anything more, and immediately directed the servants of Sima's family to drive the carriage, and parked the carriage team in the open space next to the army's chariots and horses.

After such a stop.

The members of Sima's family got out of the carriage one after another, and the servants also carried the goods from the carriages behind, which were indeed common items used for sacrifices.

……

at the same time.

Wu Liang and others have already arrived near the hot spring named "Zi Shui".

It is still deep winter, and a thick layer of white mist rises near the river bank. Although walking in it is not as exaggerated as flying through the clouds, you can still feel the obvious moisture in the air and the temperature transmitted by the river surface.

It's just that the moisture hit Wu Liang and the others, but they didn't feel the slightest sense of comfort. On the contrary, because of the season, what they felt was bursts of damp and cold.

"Wow—"

Wu Liang came to the river and put his hand into the water to shake it.

Now he finally felt the temperature of the hot spring. Indeed, as Yang Wanli said before, the water temperature is about 40 degrees. Putting his hands in it will only feel warm and comfortable, but it will not feel burning. hot.

This water temperature is most suitable for bathing.

Moreover, the water is very clear, without any strange color, and there is no obvious pungent smell like sulfur, so it should not be harmful to the human body.

After all, Yang Wanli had never heard of any incidents of hurting people in this hot spring.

However, taking a bath these days is a very private matter. Now among the people accompanying him are men, women, old and young, as well as Cao Chun and a few tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers, it is more or less inconvenient, even if Wearing a "swimsuit" to go to the bath is still an unfashionable thing, and not many people can accept it.

This is a bit of a pity, otherwise Wu Liang would really not mind turning this place into a hot spring villa, it would be a good choice whether it is to open the door for business or provide for his own retirement in the future.

"Where is the spring?"

While watering the water, Wu Liang turned around and asked Yang Wanli.

"It's at the bottom of the water over there...the last time I came here, there were a few villagers who went into the mountains to collect herbs. I only found out the location of the spring after asking them."

Yang Wanli said in detail, "My lord, please get up and take a look. The water over there is slightly fluctuating. You can only find it when you look closely. The spring of this hot spring is located below."

"Um……"

Wu Liang looked in the direction Yang Wanli knew, and he saw the water pattern he said.

Judging from the current situation, except for the peculiarity of "cool in summer and warm in winter", other aspects are like ordinary hot springs, while hot springs in Tianchao are not uncommon. Nothing surprised Wu Liang.

"Chamu, can you see anything unusual?"

Wu Liang called Prince Chamu over again and asked.

"Never saw anything."

Prince Chamu shook his head and said.

It seems that not only normal people's naked eyes can't see anything unusual in this place, Prince Chamu's "yin and yang eyes" can't see it either.

After getting this answer, Wu Liang felt that even if he went to the "Mother Water", it would be difficult to see anything unusual with the naked eye, so referring to his previous thoughts, he went straight to the topic and said, "By the way, Yang Wanli, you Do you know where is the best place to observe the whole picture of this place?"

"The highest mountain here is called 'Taifeng', and the 'mother water' is located at the foot of 'Taifeng'."

Yang Wanli quickly replied, "In addition, there is a 'Taiyi Temple' built on the top of 'Taifeng' during the Emperor Wu's time. Every fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the gentry and common people in Wen County would move to that 'Taiyi Temple' to worship the 'Taiyi Temple'." God's blessings, there will be an endless stream of people on this small road at that time, but it is a pity that we came a little earlier, and we should have the opportunity to see this grand event if we come one month later."

Taiyi Temple...

"Taiyi God" is a god representing the vitality and stars of the universe in the pre-Qin period, but it really became popular in the Han Dynasty.

To be precise, it should be Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He was the first person to worship the "Taiyi God". It is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year... Later, Sima Qian created the "Taichu Calendar" and also set the fifteenth day of the first lunar month as the Lantern Festival. Since then, it has been passed down from generation to generation in the Celestial Dynasty.

Therefore, the "Taiyi Temple" on the "Taifeng" was built during the period of Emperor Wu, and the gentry and common people in Wen County would go to worship and pray for blessings on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so there is no problem.

"If there is a 'Taiyi Temple' on the top of the peak, the gentry and common people in Wen County will go to worship it every year. That is to say, there is a way to go up the mountain?"

Wu Liang asked with a smile, this undoubtedly saved him a lot of energy, and going up the mountain was justified.

"exactly."

Yang Wanli replied.

"Lead the way ahead."

Wu Liang said immediately, then turned around and came to Yu Ji's side, and said in a low voice while walking, "Old man, you have to keep your eyes open for this journey, and you must figure out the feng shui pattern of this generation, I suspect The feng shui of this place is not simple, and I am afraid that there will be some big shots in the future."

"What is the basis for this suspicion, my lord?"

Yu Ji asked puzzled.

"intuition."

Wu Liang smiled mysteriously and patted Yu Ji on the shoulder.

"..."

Watching Wu Liang communicate with the Huan Renjun, Cao Chun couldn't understand it any more.

At least for now, it seems that Wu Liang and Huan Renjun really didn't just come to visit the mountains and rivers, but seemed to have mastered some unknown secrets.
