Qingchuan History

Chapter 879
That was the words of the elders, watching him grow from four years old to 24 years old with a sigh.Gu Xinglang's expression was slightly condensed, but his arms kept moving, he lowered his head and said:

"The tacit understanding between the teacher and the students came to Buzhou Mountain, and it was a dispute between gentlemen. Since it is a dispute between gentlemen, the teacher must allow the students to complete all the fighting steps. Don't play tricks."

These are the words of the younger generation, and they are even a bit coquettish.Ji Huanyou remembered that he would be like this when he was very young, and he would say words like cheating, and he stopped saying them after he was six years old.

Then he smiled kindly:

"A gentleman's dispute should be fair. You persuade me once, and I persuade you once. It's even. But now you're going to persuade Li Hongjian again. Your Majesty, it's you who cheated."

"The teacher's eldest son and the student's elder brother are doing their best to fight at Jidu at this moment. In fairness, the students should also have the opportunity to talk with Li Hongjian in this round."

Ji Huan was startled.

Gu Xinglang's good-looking eyes darkened again, "The student's chance of winning is actually not nine points, and the calculation result is only limited to Buzhou Mountain."

The raft has reached the south bank.

When Ji Huan went down, Ji Wanling hurriedly supported him, and then he heard Gu Xinglang call "Uncle Li".

Li Hongjian bowed his hands and performed the ceremony of the monarch and his ministers.

"To this day, even though landslides and caves have collapsed and the miracles have been destroyed, and the aristocratic family that Anatan has been meticulously dealing with for a hundred years has revealed its true colors not only for ideals, but also for selfish desires. Uncle Li is still obsessed with the oracle, thinking that he is benefiting the common people. Is it?"

He wanted to persuade him, but he didn't invite people to get on the raft. Instead, he asked questions and went to the middle of the river with his pole.

"Your Majesty, are you going to force Li Hongjian to answer so that everyone can hear?" Ji Wanling asked in a low voice, supporting her father.

"This is one." Ji Huan was a little tired, and had just used up all his energy for the day on the raft.

"Then the second—"

"My father is a scholar, or an old scholar, who can only talk about Taoism, but can't fight. Li Hongjian, however, has a deadly move."

Ji Wanling blinked, "Father, is your majesty running for your life while asking questions?"

Seeing that Gu Xinglang kept backing away with the pole in both hands, his movements were very fast, but he was still smiling in a graceful manner.

Ji Huan smiled, "It's called saving your life. Your Majesty is truly unparalleled in this world."

Ji Wanling looked at Gu Xinglang, and slowly saw Gu Xinglei who was also looking towards the north bank. "If it's Brother Lei, he will give it a try."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't beat Li Hongjian. In such a situation, being brave is by no means the best choice. Waner, it's not because of his father's favoring his own students. The Crown Prince is not as good as the King Those who are good at fighting are often also good at losing, and courage is certainly worthy of admiration, but looking at ancient and modern times, most of the winners do not rely on courage."

Ji Wanling glanced at her father, showing a dissatisfied little girl's attitude, "Your Majesty was originally taught by my father, and of course my father favors all kinds of ways of doing things."

Ji Huan shook his head, "He hasn't been taught by me for six or seven years. These are his own cultivation."

Ji Wanling had tried to mediate between the two parties since arriving at Buzhou Mountain, and now seeing that her father was in a good mood, she planned to speak again.

But was interrupted by Li Hongjian's voice:
"The miracle will not be annihilated due to the collapse, the oracle is still there, and the fate of the family cannot be violated!"

As he answered, he moved to the water's edge.

"Even if Uncle Li already knows that the so-called oracle has been used as a means of conquest, or lead to chaos in the world and the loss of life?" Gu Xinglang rowed farther and farther, approaching the middle of the water, raised his voice and continued to ask.

"According to the oracle, Haiyan and Heqing will surely be won!" Li Hongjian replied loudly as he reached the water's edge.

"The legendary cave, I brought my Daqi Jingrui hundreds of times to observe it, but I couldn't see it—the theory of collapse is as suspicious as the oracle itself!"

"Your Majesty can deny the oracle, but you can't deny the Heluo map in the Jizhao Pavilion, the obsidian banners and the mountains and rivers! The phenomena that people can't explain at the time are what my family calls miracles!"

Ji Wanling no longer knew what the two of them were going to do with this communication, they clearly shook the valley and confronted each other, but they were neither angry nor annoyed, just talking.

When he was about to ask his father, he suddenly saw Li Hongjian pointing his toes, stepping on the water and striding towards the river.

At this time, Gu Xinglang had already crossed the middle of the water, a little closer to the north bank, but he still had a way to go, and he was determined not to be as fast as Li Hongjian who was walking on flat ground.

But at the moment when Li Hongjian's toes touched the ground, a black shadow stepped on the water to the west of the Tianhe River and the lower reaches.Everyone's attention was too focused on the center of the river and the two banks within the field of vision, and they didn't notice at first—Ruan Xueyin watched Li Hongjian's actions, and hurriedly ordered the secret guards to escort him, but she didn't even know if these guards were also treading water. Kung fu on flat ground!
At the moment when the order was issued and anxious, he heard the movement and saw Shen Ji in a blink of an eye.

Her eyesight wasn't good enough to see his face directly.But that figure and posture are really deeply rooted in people's hearts, just one glance made her feel relieved.

The distance is different, Shenji is farther away.But she didn't know if it was an illusion, she always felt that Shen Ji was faster, and she must be able to catch up, and in an instant, she saw the two of them stepping on the raft at the same time.

The raft swayed suddenly, and was fixed in the next moment by a tacit position adjustment.

The four dark guards went into the water silently and began to dive to where the raft was.

Gu Xinglang is in the north, Li Hongjian is in the south, Shen Jishan is usually in the middle, and the picture is still for a while.

Then Ruan Xueyin encountered Shen Ji for the first time, and began to speak in a local accent.

Of course I can't understand a word.

Because she couldn't understand, she let out some thoughts to look around: there were no more aborigines on both sides of the river bank, and they were probably all at home, but cattle and sheep were scattered on the nearby hillside, and shepherds could be seen.

It was too far away, and I could only vaguely discern that the shepherd was also watching the excitement—it really seemed to be watching the excitement, standing alone on the grass slope, concentrating but without the slightest intention to move.

The three or five sentences were pleasant to the ear, but Ruan Xueyin suddenly felt a little regretful that Chunfeng was not there, and suspected that Shen Ji might have spoken his accent to her, especially when expressing his heartfelt affection.

With Shen Ji's thin skin, he had to give away peonies quietly, I'm afraid he has said it.

She knew it was ridiculous to think about it now, but either because the outcome was decided, or because she was still nervous deep inside, staring at the heads of several hidden guards who were gradually approaching in the river, she couldn't hold her back. thoughts.

Then Li Hongjian's words sounded, also in the local language, and very loudly, making people feel that they were arguing for the clansmen under the doors and windows of the cottage.

Is it Shen Ji's persuasion strategy?

The heads on the hillsides farther around hadn't lowered since they appeared just now. At this moment, because Gu Xinglang was in danger, they began to move towards the valley little by little.

Shen Ji's voice was louder, as if he was refuting, but also as a warning, if he didn't surrender, he would lose his life.

At this time, the dark guards came to the back of the raft, and one of them reached out to the water and gently pulled the corner of Gu Xinglang's robe.

Gu Xinglang turned his head, showing an inexplicable expression.The dark guard gestured boldly, and Gu Xinglang had a look of "what are you kidding"—entered the water and swam with you, and then landed like a drowned chicken?

Knowing that it must be Ruan Xueyin's order, she looked at her by the river again: It's too embarrassing.

Ruan Xueyin understood it at a glance, she was speechless, winking and persuading.

I haven't finished my work yet, how can I continue when I'm wet?Gu Xinglang winked and turned back.

This is where this person is inferior to Jing Tingge!Ruan Xueyin cursed inwardly, sooner or later it would be due to her obsession with cleanliness and demeanor!
There were rustling sounds on both sides of the river bank at this time.

From small to large, from broken to dense, the aborigines in the cottages stepped out one after another, with dignified expressions—not dignified, but more pious. When they stepped out, they were messy, but when they approached the river bank, they began to be neat and arranged in a line.

Ruan Xueyin, Gu Xinglei, the female soldiers, and the rest of the hidden guards still held Xia Yaoyao on the grass.

The villagers at this end seemed to be unable to see them. They lined up along the water like the other side of the river, knelt down together, clasped their hands together, and muttered something in their mouths.

Nearly a hundred people recited the incomprehensible language from beyond the sky, like scriptures and magic spells.And the two sides of the Tianhe River quickly became a huge buzzing sound, which made people's headaches split.

The heads on the hillside have already moved down, infinitely approaching the river bank.

The twilight became softer, and the golden round sun began to turn red. Ruan Xueyin looked at the red sun but found it extremely glaring, and turned to Xia Yaoyao for no reason.

"Your Highness, didn't you look at the obsidian curtain last night?" Seeing her looking over, Xia Yao said something strange.

I really didn't look at it last night, because of various reasons, I deliberately kept away from the object in the corner.

Ruan Xueyin was puzzled for a moment, lost in thought for a while, and wasted some time, and when she turned back, her eyes suddenly darkened.

She first saw the blue of the river turn into dark blue.

The villagers kneeling on the bank had already crouched deeply, but the chanting continued, getting louder and louder.

The speed of the light disappearing is like flowing water passing through the fingers, and then moving the line of sight, the raft in the middle of the water and the three people on the raft are also gradually blurred.

"Jump into the water! Gu Xinglang!"

She yelled loudly, but she didn't know why she yelled like this. Perhaps it was just because the sky was getting dark, and many soldiers who approached the river bank began to jump into the water.

After shouting this sentence, she had the time to look up.

The bright red sun is like a piece of cake being eaten slowly and perfectly.

solar eclipse.

In the past 24 years, I have only read books, but never observed it with my own eyes.So much so that she couldn't judge whether the eclipse was partial or not, whether it would be completely dark, whether among the soldiers who jumped into the Tianhe River, there were any dead soldiers who were waiting for the opportunity to hit them with one blow.

Just now on the raft, Ji Huan told Gu Xinglang that Xue Zhan is not from the family camp, and Ruan Xueyin can't hear him here.

Can only count as the worst.

But the glare of the red sun made it impossible for her to look straight at all. If she couldn't look directly, it should be a total eclipse, and the sky would be completely dark. Because it was still dusk, there must be no one burning lamps in those village houses, and there would be no light.

This black cup of tea is enough to kill people.

She listened to the sound of falling water, plop, plop, one after another.Whether it was escort or assassination, whether Gu Xinglang jumped or not, I couldn't see clearly.The humming sound continued, making the valley roar. She squinted her eyes to look at the sun, which was only left with a very thin golden rim, and she saw the stars.

-Sister-in-law, Uncle Li told me that the stars are always hanging in the sky, and that they cannot be seen during the day because the sun blocks them. 【1】

-good.

- So the stars seem to belong to the night, but actually exist in every moment.

-indeed.

- Is it really impossible to see the stars in the daytime?
At that time, she stared at Xiao Mo's face and thought for a while.

-possible.During a solar eclipse, if the sky is completely dark, you can see the stars.My teacher said it.

In terms of knowledge, the teacher really never lied to her.

Ruan Xueyin continued to squint and stare at the stars, unable to see the complete context, let alone grasp any clues, instead, a historian's words came out in her mind:

Japan, Germany also.Therefore, a solar eclipse cultivates virtue.

Nothing is more supreme than the sky, and nothing changes in the sky more than a solar eclipse.

If the country has no government and does not use kindness, it will be relegated to the disaster of the sun and the moon.

The sun is the image of the king, and the ancient metaphor is that the king is the scorching sun, and the sage supports the sun and respects the king.

She became more and more confused, and subconsciously went to the water's edge, but was grabbed,
"Siblings can't go."

She had heard the undercurrent churning in the river that day.

Despite being separated by the humming sound along the coast, the ears became more sensitive in the dark, and it was very clear to focus on it for a while.

"If Shen Ji is fast enough, he will bring him across the river. Now the river is probably full of soldiers who are good at water." Gu Xinglei said again in a deep voice.
