Chapter 73 Cooking Crane Walk (2)

The order came very urgently, and Heita even directly stated that the whole group should be dispatched together without delay.

Everyone knew that this was a method of adjustment and appeasement. Hunting down the cunning alchemist like Mang Jingang and going to Jiangdong to urge food were two completely different tasks. The former was bitter, hard and even dangerous, while the latter was basically It's a lucrative public fund for tourism.

Although it was a battle of odds, the outcome was determined.

Regarding this, no one in Bai Yousi's inspection team expressed dissatisfaction, and the others were happy if they didn't mention it. The two parties involved, Zhang Xing and Bai Yousi, didn't say anything either.

Even, Bai Yousi didn't think so clearly, Zhang Xing felt relieved here - it's not that he was afraid of anything, in fact, after getting through the confrontation that day, Zhang Xing asked himself that there was no danger, the rest was nothing more than Some political tricks in the hands of big men, and playing political tricks, it is even more impossible for him to say that he will be afraid of those warriors.

The main reason is that Zhang Xing really felt that the political environment here in Dongdu was really bad. That saint just didn’t want to live in peace. He killed a thousand people today, sent out a hundred thousand servants tomorrow, and killed another thousand the day after tomorrow. Man, after a long time, it's strange that people with a little fire in their hearts don't slump like Li Ding with dark circles under their eyes.

The environment will alienate people. Watching such things all day long is powerless. No matter how outstanding the characters are, they will become depressed and indifferent. According to Zhang Xing’s views of some masters in another world, this should be why people always It is because of the lack of talents in the mid-to-late period of the dynasty—it is not that there are no talents, it is not that there is no handsomeness, but that they are alienated and restrained by the environment, and cannot do anything with a pattern.

And the same person, if he survives from the end of a dynasty to the beginning of another dynasty, he doesn't even need to wait until the beginning of the dynasty, and he goes directly to the troubled times, but he will often shine.

why?
Because the environment has changed, the rigid shackles have been untied, and human vitality has been released.

Of course, everything has two sides. No matter how rigid the system is, it will protect people, and it will lend its own strength generously. It is because of this that Zhang Xing chose to join Jing'antai when he first arrived and had no place to stand. inspection.

Only this time and that time, now, after staying in Dongdu for more than half a year, feeling the strength of this force, and also aware of the brutality of this force, Zhang Xing's mind changed a little.

He began to reflect on himself slightly, but clearly, might he have chosen the wrong novice camp?It's just that after that night, there was a subtle change in this way of thinking.

There are two roads from Dongdu to Jiangdong. One is to cross the hinterland of the Central Plains and go down across the Huaihe River. The other is to go down to Nanyang first, and then follow the Han River opened up by the Baidi Lord to go south to the Dajiang River, and then go down the river.

The former is suitable for going north, while the latter is suitable for going south. Under Bai's decision, the patrol team chose the second route without hesitation.

As a member of the patrol team, Zhang Xing could only follow the order and quickly regroup.

Of course, arrangements must be made. There is only one and a half big girls left in the family. In addition to leaving enough money and food, Qin Bao also went to Jing'an Taichung to make a report according to Zhang Xing's suggestion, and asked Taichung to follow the inspection team's field work. According to the rules of time, go to the house regularly to call the door and protect him.

In addition, Qin Bao's tumor-spotted horse can't be left behind. It's too wild, and Yueniang can't take care of it. It's strong enough to ride, so it's easy to take it on.

In the future, there is really nothing to arrange, the two bachelors are the best of the bachelor.

Galloping all the way to the south, the journey was lackluster, and he was so exhausted that people didn't have any extra thoughts. For Zhang Xing, the only two things worth mentioning were: first, he didn't find a large number of new conscripts on the road; He was deeply impressed by the wide, tidy, clear and stable Han River.

Leaving aside the former, there is no doubt that the latter has undergone extraordinary changes similar to Hongshan.

As for the former, the truth came to light after arriving in Xiangyang and being received by Bai Wulou, the governor of Jingzhou.

It turned out that according to the news from the court, the construction of Tongtian Pagoda was actually hindered by the geographical obstacles of Ziwei Palace, Mingtang and Beiman Mountain when Mingtang regulations had been completed, and it was difficult to start the project. I wanted to use more manpower It is not necessary to complete it quickly, and in the end it only needs [-] servicemen per month-for this, the imperial court simply issued official slaves, and directly recruited some servants from the Eastern Capital to undertake this simple task.

Of course, Zhang Xing still doubted that this might not be a problem with the engineering, but that the tower could not be built as fast as he wanted.

Moreover, when the Master Chief of Jingzhou waved his hand and gave his niece a three-story official ship that could carry all the members of the patrol team and the luggage of the accompanying horses, Zhang Xing, who got off quickly, got a gift from his patrol inspector. Some validation.

"There is such a saying."

It was early winter, Bai Yousi stood on the bow of the boat, slightly released his true energy, held his long sword and looked around against the wind, but he didn't turn his head, and answered simply. "When the first emperor was not enthroned, the sage was already born. At that time, he had a lot of friends in the western capital, and it was well known that the young man embarked on a journey of cultivation. Later, when he was in the south of Chen, he was the marshal of the king. He was more than 20 years old, and he was already a great master. A consummated master... It is almost [-] years now, there is no reason not to condense pills into pills, and become a master... Some people even speculated that when the orthodox emperor reigns, he will naturally inherit the vitality of the world and go straight to the master , even the realm of a great master...it's just that this kind of thing cannot be verified."

At this point, Bai Yousi finally turned around: "But in any case, there is no doubt that the saint's cultivation is extremely high... The twelve great masters may not be false."

Zhang Xing nodded again and again, and couldn't help but ask again: "What about the pagoda? Did the grand master start building the pagoda, or did the grand master start building the pagoda?"

"Some grandmasters started to build it, and some great masters started to build it, but basically after reaching the grandmaster, they rarely ran around like Ningdan and Chengdanqi. If you don't build a tower, you have to start to settle in one place, or interfere. General affairs, or doing some business, so that the reputation will be spread in one place... It seems that there are some who don't build pagodas. My master has been around Taibai Peak all the year round. The governor of Dongyi simply built a huge sea ship, and the governor It's not a foregone conclusion, he likes to go out to sea to fish for whales when he has nothing to do."

"I think that's also considered a tower." Zhang Xing smiled for a while, then hesitated a little, but looked back at a few young people in the group who were also listening well, and then continued to ask. "In fact, someone told me that the pagoda is the outer body of the grand master, and it is used by the grand master to operate and maintain the true energy? If so, the pagoda should not be restricted by shape or form?"

"It makes sense." Bai Yousi said it made sense, but shook his head directly. "But that's not necessarily the case, because most of the grandmasters still simply erect the tower... This shows that the erection of the tower is not just a simple operation of true energy, it may have other effects, but it's just a matter of that level. It's impossible to explain clearly... But no matter what, I understand what you mean, it's really a relief, and I'm very happy."

Zhang Xing nodded, no longer talking about this matter, but like the other party, he set his eyes on the wide and frightening Han River under his feet.

Bai Yousi understood, and simply took the initiative to explain: "It is said that Emperor Bai expanded the Han River and occupied the upper reaches of the Huaihe River, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the real dragon Huaiyang Lord who was entrenched on the Huai River. The world-famous real dragon once fought a deadly battle with Emperor Qing. He came to Hanshui to trouble Lord Baidi, but was beheaded here by Lord Baidi. After the dragon fell, Lord Baidi laid out the dragon corpse Since then, the Han River has a wide passageway, neither drought nor flood, making Jingxiang a beautiful place in the world, and making the north and south more smooth. Guanzhong, which holds the upper reaches of the Han River, can easily restrain the big river The middle section, and then overwhelmed the back section of the river."

Zhang Xing became more and more aware that this was almost half of the Grand Canal.

Besides, in the early winter season, the bow of the ship was cold and windy, Hu Yan and other old adults went to the ship tower early to drink tea and recuperate, but because Bai Yousi was here, Qian Tang, Li Qingchen, Qin Bao and others gathered early... At this time, after listening to Zhang Baishou's boring conversation with the inspector for a long time, they all became impatient, but seeing that the inspector was in a good mood, and actually in the mood to talk about ancient times, he wanted to come forward to make fun of it and chat some gossip.

Unexpectedly, without waiting for everyone to open their mouths, Bai Yousi suddenly turned around and asked: "Zhang San, you have nothing to do, such a beautiful scenery, and you are outstanding in culture, do you have any good poems?"

Like everyone else, Zhang Xing was taken aback for a moment, but then smiled bitterly: "Where can I find a good poem in a hurry?"

A few young people, especially Li Qingchen, who boasted that he had some literary talents, hurriedly thought about it, but Qian Tang and Qin Bao had already realized something, so they simply avoided talking.

Qin Bao even hesitated whether to go back and take care of his tumor-spotted dragon colt.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Xinggang declined, Bai Yousi replied immediately with a rare smile: "I have seen that after getting on the boat in Xiangyang, your mood gradually became brighter. It should be because you have suppressed many troubles in Dongdu. In fact, I Ordinarily, since this is the case, why not borrow a poem to temporarily forget about those annoying things, and then express the comfort in my chest?"

Now, Li Qingchen also came to his senses—wouldn't you dare to feel sorry for us, wouldn't you?
At this point, Zhang Xing was not easy to evade. After thinking for a while, he thought of a poem, and then simply took a step forward, coming to Bai Yousi's side, holding his knife and looking at the Hanshui River in front of him, whispering And chant:

"A boat stacked a hundred feet divides the waves like a long whale."

"It's nothing special." Li Qingchen was a little impatient. "Besides, the patrol inspection asked you to chant aloud, expressing the comfort in your chest, why are you so low?"

Zhang Xing was waiting for this guy, and immediately turned his head and smiled, and with his fingers, he recited again in a low voice:
"The boats are stacked hundreds of feet, breaking the waves like long whales.

Don't dare to speak loudly, fearing the dragon in the river. "

Li Qingchen was slightly taken aback, but Bai Yousi smiled with his sword in his arms.

PS: Ashamed, I can't concentrate all the time... I'm really old.
