A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You
Chapter 150 Lin Yuan
Chapter 150 Lin Yuan (13)
You will call me by my name from now on, with permission from this seat.
"Leaping over thousands of miles of grassland, crossing the desert wind and sand, seeing your gentle eyes, kissing your lips behind the tulle..." Sogt Sabao's throat is rough and clear, and his voice can float several miles away.Sitting on a camel, he kept looking back while singing.
The national teacher's face turned blue and then pale, Lian Deng was afraid that he would have an attack, so he had no choice but to comfort him, "You forgot that you were disguised as a girl, it's all for me!"
"He dares!" He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll kill him! Yellow-haired ghost, I haven't seen a woman in a thousand years!"
She grinned, "Who made you look so good? I heard that people in the Western Regions like strong girls. Big people are in good health and good for fertility. Sabao must not be married yet. He is the leader and needs a capable wife , your appearance is exactly what he wants."
The national teacher was dizzy from the singing, and even listening to her nonsense, he was even more angry.Lian Deng was afraid of making him angry, so she stroked his hand carefully, "You are a man, it's okay to be slighted." Seeing a five baht coin in his fingertips, she quickly suppressed it in horror, " We can't do anything, we can't enter the city after he dies."
The national teacher couldn't breathe out, and hung his head on the camel, "Tell him to shut up."
Lian Deng was helpless, "The mouth grows on someone's body, and I can't care about it." Patted himself on the shoulder, "Are you tired? Sleep with me for a while, and you won't be able to hear when you fall asleep."
When they came, there were three people and three horses, and they entered the caravan to obey others' orders.Horses run faster than camels, and Sa Bao couldn't let the camel team break the rules, so everyone changed to riding camels, and the horses contributed their load.Lian Deng and the national teacher share the same horse, also to protect him from being harassed.
He was unhappy, and Lian Deng tried to persuade him for a long time, but he finally compromised. He lowered his body and hugged her waist, and took a nap on her back. Skin, towering breasts, the whole caravan laughed.The national teacher hissed, planning to teach him a lesson.
Lian Deng also felt that Sa Bao had done too much, but she didn't need the national teacher to come forward. She grabbed the hump and leaned forward, called Sa Bao, cupped her hands and said: "We were paid for our trip, if you don't think so It’s convenient, we can join other caravans, please don’t bully my sister like this.”
All the Sogdians looked here, and that Sabao knew he was wrong, so he stopped singing, folded his hands in front of his chest, bowed and said, "Please forgive me for not being able to help it, I haven't seen such a beautiful girl for a long time. Yes. To be honest, her eyes are very similar to my mother's..."
The national teacher gritted his teeth and scolded Gou Niang, "He can sing this kind of song to his mother, as if I were a three-year-old child?"
The high-ranking national teacher is now being molested like this, and it really brings tears of bitterness to say it.Lian Deng pulled the gauze for him, covered his whole body tightly, and raised his voice: "We Dali people don't like this. Dali people respect Confucianism, pay attention to not thinking in the heart, not speaking in vain, Sa Bao Since we are doing business with Dali, we should do as the Romans do.”
Na Sabao fell silent, anyway, he accepted her opinion, and then he didn't speak out again.
The camel caravan walked very slowly, they could already see the outline of Suiye City, but they could not enter the city even though it was dark.Although there was no curfew in the city, the gates were being cut off, and the Sogdians were not in a hurry, so they camped four or five miles away from the city.
Now that I have a backer, I don’t have to worry about passing the ban anymore. I mix with the crowd and wait around the campfire for Sabao to distribute food.
The national teacher changed into women's clothing, probably really regarded herself as a woman, and her actions became very sticky, and she was with the lotus lamp almost all the time.Lian Deng held his head high and held his chest high. At this moment, he felt that he was responsible for protecting him. He looked around and his eyes were shining.
The national teacher said: "Why are you so kind to me?"
She said: "The national teacher is mine."
He choked, "When did I become yours?" After thinking about it, he didn't reject it at all.So she leaned closer and held her hand in her palm, "There are so many people now, be careful that the walls have ears, and you can call me by my name from now on, with my permission."
She turned her head to look at him, hesitated for a while, and whispered, "Lin Yuan."
His heart couldn't help trembling, this name was not commonly used, and no one dared to call it directly, but now that it came to her mouth, calling it out solemnly moved him indescribably.He hummed, and squeezed her hand tightly, "I'll call it that from now on, don't change it."
She looked at him with a smile, and found that he and herself had kissed a lot again, so he probably wouldn't need to be tied up in the future, and would be willing to stay in the cave with her!Just as he was about to talk to him, he raised his eyes and saw a young Sogdian walking towards them, with a smooth head and a very good appearance.I don't know if it's someone from the caravan, but I haven't seen it anyway.Seeing the woman next to him stare in astonishment, she became more and more confused about his origin.
The Sogdian walked up to them and bowed respectfully, "Beautiful person, please take a step to speak."
Lian Deng was dumbfounded, Cang Pan and the national teacher looked at each other, straightened up and said: "Who is your Excellency?"
The Sogdian rubbed his chin, the circle of mustache had just been shaved, forming a faint blue shadow from under the ears.He was a little ashamed, blushing and said: "This is my caravan, I am caravan Sabao."
Lian Deng got excited, and in order to please the girl, he shaved off his lush beard, which was considered a big expense.It turned out that under the weeds grew a very beautiful face, coupled with a strong and good body, this Sogdian man can be regarded as a handsome man from the Western Regions.
But is Sabao all lustful?Last time, it was Sabao who tried to counteract the misconduct. The Sogdians had no restraints. Sabao was equivalent to the emperor of the land, so what did he want to do?You have fallen in love with the national teacher, and plan to continue pestering?
Their eyes were not friendly and their expressions were disgusted. Of course that Sabao also noticed it, and hurriedly waved his hands and said: "No, no... I don't mean any harm. The girl's fault is my dead sister's, so I have to talk to the girl and deal with it." Tomorrow's interrogation."
The national teacher was disgusted for a long time, and if he really couldn't do it, he could just get rid of this barbarian and lead the caravan himself.Then he got up and pressed down on the shoulder of the lotus lamp, beckoned Sa Bao to lead the way, and followed him to the tent.
Tan Nu came back with the pancakes, looked around, but couldn't find the national teacher.Asking Lian Deng with his eyes, Lian Deng pointed to the distance and said angrily: "I was taken away by Sabao."
Tan Nu didn't seem anxious, gave her the cake in his hand, sat down and whispered: "He is a man, are you still afraid that he will suffer? You just take care of yourself, the national teacher's means are very high, don't worry .”
Lian Deng reluctantly looked back, pulled a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth, and muttered: "This Sa Bao is also a good judge, with the same eyesight as mine. It's a pity that he made a wrong calculation and even shaved his beard. If he knew that he had been duped , why don’t you regret your green intestines.” Thinking about it, he found it very interesting, and he covered his mouth and laughed.
Tan Nu shook her head helplessly, and moved towards the campfire. There were snow-capped mountains on both sides of the valley, and she couldn't stand the cold.
Lian Deng raised his arms around her, rubbed her shoulders, turned around and saw a Sogdian man sitting not far away, met her eyes, and smiled kindly with his lips pursed.She smiled back and chatted up with him after a short pause, "This is the biggest caravan we have seen along the way. Have you been doing business in the Hexi Corridor? Have you ever been to the Central Plains?"
The Sogdian nodded and said of course, "However, the tariffs have increased in recent years, and basically no more than Zhangye. The west of Zhangye is our world. Dawan, Wusun, Shule, and the Turks in the north are everywhere."
Lian Deng raised hope after hearing this, suppressed his excitement and said: "In this case, I must have a lot of knowledge. I have read "The Biography of the Western Regions", and I am very interested in the customs and customs of the 36 countries recorded in the book...Have you been to the Shura?" Le Guo, have you heard of Yabulu?"
The Sogdian thought for a while, "I have heard about it, but I don't know it very well. I only know that it is a very powerful poison. Humans and animals will definitely die if they hear it." After that, he glanced at them, "Why do you ask this?"
Tan Nu squeezed out a smile, "It's nothing, I just heard a Hu doctor talking about it last time, and I was a little curious."
Lian Deng said in a timely manner: "It seems to be more poisonous than the arsenic in the Central Plains, so there is no way to cure it?"
The Sogdian shrugged his shoulders, "How can there be poison in the world that cannot be cured? It's a pity that I just joined the caravan and heard it from hearsay. If you really want to know, you can ask Sabao. He knows all kinds of rare things."
Lian Deng was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled up Tan Nu and ran to the big tent, and called at the door, Na Sabao came out to meet him, and went in to see the national teacher sitting on the Persian rug, eating grapes leisurely.
Lian Deng despised him a little bit, and she was still worried that he would be underestimated by others, and as a result, his life was more comfortable than theirs.It can't be said, the national teacher always has this ability to turn things around, his luck seems to be very good, no matter when he can live so chicly.
Perhaps Sa Bao loves the house and loves his wife, and he is very enthusiastic about them, and without the schemes of profiteers, he invites them to sit down, eat cakes and drink tea.
Lian Deng gave way, without turning a corner, and directly asked him if he could bet.The national teacher raised his eyes and looked over. In order to show off his talent and learning in front of his beloved, Sabao said without thinking: "This medicine is highly poisonous, but it becomes very valuable after being exposed to the sun. For example, you have gangrene on your legs. , to cut off the whole leg, and drink with beetroot powder, it will make people sleepy, and the pain will not be felt."
What they cared about was the antidote, and when they asked again, Sabao said very lightly, "You Central Plains people say that all things grow and restrain each other. The roots of Yabulu grow on the corpse, and the bones are left after the meat is rotten. The bones are ground into powder, too. With wine, drink it for three days in a row.”
They tried their best to find an antidote, but when they came to him, they solved it in a few words.Lian Deng and Tan Nu looked at each other, and it felt like a dream.Now there is a solution, but where can I find the place where the poisonous ginseng is hidden?
Lian Deng licked his lips, and tentatively said: "We are in urgent need of this medicine, can Sabao find it for us? If you can help us, we still have some money, which can be used as a reward."
Yabulu is highly poisonous, not to mention eating it, even a little smell is enough to kill you. Money is a good thing, but you have to be blessed to enjoy it.Sure enough, Sabao hesitated, sat there, hammered his knees with both hands and said: "The last time I saw Yabulu was in the Jingjue Kingdom more than ten years ago. This medicine is naturally formed after the condensed corpse energy , not by artificial breeding, meeting is a chance, and you can’t ask for it. I’m afraid it’s not very expensive to look for it now..." He turned his eyes and saw the beauty in front of the grape plate looking at him, and suddenly he was refreshed. The conversation immediately turned a big corner, "But maybe you can try it. There is a legend in Suiye City that someone twenty miles south of the Huguo Temple once discovered this poison. I guess it is the location of the tomb of the previous dynasty, because it can't be reed. It takes hundreds of years of corpse energy to support it to grow, and when we enter the city, we will know when we go there to have a look.”
Lian Deng let out a long breath, and finally had hope, which was more joyful than the gold and silver piled up in front of him.As long as the antidote can be found, the national teacher will no longer have to suffer from flesh and blood, Tan Nu will return to his previous life, and he can go back to Chang'an and marry General Xiao.
She stood up, and Tan Nu respectfully saluted Sabao, "Thank you for your help, and we will definitely reward you with a lot of money when things are done."
Now Sa Bao doesn't value money at all, money can be earned to old age, and a good marriage may only come once in a lifetime.He stared at the beauty obsessively, she had a calm expression on her face, he simply loved her alienation to death.So trying to please her and doing things for her sisters is the most practical way to narrow the distance between them.
He waved his hands incessantly, "It is my honor to be able to serve ladies." Then he bowed to the beauty, "May I ask your lady's name?"
The national teacher looked at Lian Deng weakly, and Lian Deng hurriedly said: "Her name is Chang'an, the Chang'an in the capital city of the Central Plains."
Sabao was amazed, "Good name, really grand." Then he couldn't wait to introduce himself, "My name is Shipantuo, I am 29 years old, I am not married, and I have been waiting for someone who is destined. I respect Han culture and hope to be lucky enough to be with Dali When a woman gets married, I..."
Before he finished speaking, the national teacher got up lazily, pulled the lotus lantern and went out.
Tan Nu smiled apologetically at Shi Pantuo, and quickly backed out. Hearing a little dispute between them, the national teacher complained, "Are you planning to sell me?"
Lian Deng said: "The parents are not bad, and they are sincere... In the end, it is not the people who suffer! If you are wronged, Tan Nu will be saved..."
She gradually slowed down and watched them walk away side by side.
The national teacher looked up at the moon in the sky, his eyes were dark, "So I have to continue pretending?"
Lian Deng touched his belt and nodded, "You can do what you want!"
"Then what if Shi Pantuo wants to marry me? How can I condescend to perform such a drama!"
Seeing that he was about to lose his temper again, Lian Deng hurriedly relieved him, "We won't let you marry him, please ask him to take us to find poisonous ginseng, don't let him be busy, just give him all the money on your body I just want to take advantage of his admiration for you, which is very embarrassing, if he knows that he loves the wrong person, he may not be able to cry..." She said, and she couldn't help laughing, "You ate his grapes and cherries just now. If you don't like him, you shouldn't accept his kindness. Why are you complaining now? If you can't do it, you can pay off the debt with me, as long as he likes me."
"Use you to repay the debt? Is your beauty comparable to this seat?" The national teacher snorted, "You are so kind to Tan Nu, and you can make such a big sacrifice for her."
She nodded seriously, "Not only Tan Nu, but also Zhuan Zhuan."
"What about this seat?"
She sighed, "Same. But they are willing to stab me in the opposite direction, what about the national teacher? Maybe they stab me twice."
He didn't respond to her immediately, and accidentally thought of the crooked place, blushing under the night, "I will try to be as light as possible."
Lian Deng was not as impure-minded as he was, and didn't understand the metaphor in his words at all. He only thought he agreed, and said solemnly: "The national teacher will bear with it for two days and wait until we enter the city. If we can find someone to take us there, So it’s okay to say goodbye to Shi Pantuo.”
He rolled his eyes, turned and left.Lian Deng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly chased after two steps, "Lin Yuan..."
Only then did he stop and turn around, with a face full of reluctance, "Is it really enough to endure these two days?"
She said flatteringly, "If you find the antidote for Tanu, you don't have to cut your wrists all the time. I watch you bleed, and it hurts more than you."
The national teacher's face turned bright after hearing this, and he made another request, "I want to sleep with you tonight."
The corner of Lian Deng's mouth twitched, and he nodded his head.
So the two of them set up a tent on the grass a little away from the caravan. Before going to bed, they put their chins on the lotus lamp to look at the moon in the sky, and murmured: "I don't know what happened to Jiu Se, is the old emperor dead..."
"Nine colors will be fine. Among all the deer, it is the most obedient, greedy and lazy. When we go back, it should have grown very mighty." He hugged her and let her lean against her. Over his own shoulder, he said blankly again, "The old emperor... I hope he can hold on for a while. The princes of the Central Plains are fighting. If King Ding enters at this time while taking advantage of the chaos, I don't know what will happen."
Lian Deng fell silent. After a long time, he looked at Tianyu and said, "Is this the purpose of your coming to Suiye City?"
The national teacher was slightly stunned, and looked at her with a little more surprise. It turned out that she was not kept in the dark and kept silent. It did not mean that she did not know. This is very good, and it is easy to communicate with preparations.
He slowly relaxed, propped himself up and said yes, "Dali is the one that I watched to prosper day by day. King Ding supports his own troops and has already posed a threat to the court, so I want to get rid of him, protect the country, and serve as a successor." The king clears the way." He smiled and turned to look at her, "Liandeng, will you help me?"
Lian Deng nodded, "He is my enemy, and I was going to seek revenge from him." After finishing speaking, he paused, "Is what happened in Chang'an City really a plan by Fang Zhou? Or did you co-act it? A play, to disturb people's sight and hearing?"
If it is a joint venture, there is no need to go through such a big circle. Everything in the Supreme Shrine is unknown to outsiders, and how to arrange it depends entirely on his plan.Unless it is to confuse some people, maybe it is Jinshang, or some prince who is spying on the throne.If that was the case, she would have sympathized with him a little bit. The ruler of Dali turned his back on him, but he still devoted himself to this country.
He didn't want to go into details, but just shook his head slightly, "Don't ask so many questions, just kill King Ding."
Everyone has a wound in their heart that they don't want to mention. Although the national teacher is beautiful, he still eats whole grains.It's just that what he misses is much grander than her. In front of the country and ideals, personal grievances are nothing.
Lian Deng said yes, and then asked: "Will the Central Plains fight? The emperor's sons, are you going to fight to the death for the top spot?"
He looked at the sky and murmured: "When the Daming Palace is only one step away, no one can resist the temptation of imperial power."
Lian Deng sighed, seeing the moon climbed higher and higher, and had already reached the mid-heaven, so she laid out a blanket and greeted him, "Sleep, I have to go to the city tomorrow."
A strange smile appeared on his face, and he quickly turned around and climbed into the tent.
The tent is a very small military tent, which can only accommodate one person, and it is a little crowded for two people to sleep together.The lotus lamp moved to the side as much as possible so that he could sleep more comfortably.If the lamp is not lit in the tent, and the curtain is drawn down, it will be dark inside.She was a little nervous at first, after all, he was a man, and he was so close.But after each of them lay down, they felt pretty good. She could smell the vague fragrance of his body, as well as his shallow breathing and calm state of mind.
She called him softly, "Are you asleep?"
His nasal voice was thick, "I can't sleep."
She turned sideways, and there was only a faint figure in the haze.She tried to open her eyes wide to see him clearly, "Didn't he notice that your voice was wrong when you were talking to Shi Pantuo?"
He lazily said: "People in the Supreme Shrine not only change their appearance, but also change their voice."
Only then did she understand, "No wonder Fang Zhou pretended to be you at that time. I didn't realize it at all. It wasn't because I was slow, but because you were so clever."
He sneered, "Aren't you slow? Don't make money for yourself."
Lian Deng thought to herself that she was actually very wise and stupid, and she didn't want to make things so clear, because it was easy to muddle along.
He turned around and faced her face to face, his voice in the dark was exceptionally gentle, "How are you recently?"
She patted her forehead and said it was okay, "It's just that the chest is often tight, maybe it's because I'm too tired."
"It's been hard for you these days." It was rare for him to say such considerate words.
She groaned, "You're getting warm!" As she spoke, she reached into his wide sleeves and climbed up until she touched his shoulders.Although it is still a bit different from normal people, it is already a great improvement for him.
When she was happy, she would mess around, and the national teacher was a little embarrassed, "I am not allowed to touch you, but I touched you. If it is warm, it will be warm, so there is nothing to make a fuss about. I have been with you for so long, and it is still the same. Then this Wouldn't it be a waste of time."
What does this mean?Is it because she likes someone and gradually becomes warm, or because her pure yin blood has a certain auxiliary effect on him?
She still wanted to ask, but he hugged her tightly, "Don't be naughty, if you keep making noise, I will obediently obey you."
This really can't scare her, she struggled twice to discuss, "Then please be good to me first, and then continue talking, okay?"
He became angry from embarrassment, turned over and pressed her down, grinding his molars and said: "You asked for this yourself, you can't blame others."
Lian Deng still wanted to speak, but his lips pressed up.
The fire is burning very hot, and if it continues like this, something will happen.He knew it was time to stop, the time was wrong, and the place was wrong, but it was so difficult to stop.He clenched his hands tightly, and with the determination of a strong man to sever his wrists, he rolled aside in embarrassment.He grabbed her hand, "The lotus lamp..."
She hummed very docilely, breathing unsteadily, just like him.
He said: "I seem to like you very much."
She listened and stood up, "Really? How much do you like it?"
He closed his eyes and said, "I like Nine Colors more, I like it very much."
With his words, Lian Deng was already very satisfied.She touched his shoulder, snuggled into his arms obediently, kept stroking his face with one hand, and murmured: "I won't grow old... Will I be too old to recognize tomorrow... "
He laughed muffledly. After an unprecedentedly fierce battle, he seemed to be exhausted, but he was tired and satisfied.
As for the lotus lamp, I was surprised to find that after being obedient this time, the national teacher has completely changed himself.He helped put away the tent very diligently, and when he looked at her, there was a bright light in his eyes, and he smiled shyly, making her more lovable than before.The caravan was about to set off as a whole, and he carefully put on the curtain for her, and helped her onto the camel, and Lian Deng finally had the feeling that the hardships had all come to an end.This time, the division of labor between men and women is about to change. The national teacher will not continue to be so small-hearted. Maybe he will treat her better and hold her in the palm of his hand...
Because he had already prepared in advance, the national teacher is now busy with Shi Pantuo's love show.Let a man who has no bad habits accept another man, ordinary people will feel that life is worse than death!Lian Deng looked sourly, Shi Pantuo gave him a camel, and personally led the camel rope for him. The national teacher sat stretched between the camel's humps, he must have suffered a lot.
She sighed faintly, turned her head and said to Tan Nu: "I wonder if anyone in the city knows whether the prisoner is going to be reed, it's best to send Shi Pantuo away, don't you think the national teacher is pitiful?"
Tan Nu was also helpless, "I have wronged him, but I have lived in Suiye City for 13 years, and I have never heard of such a thing. I am afraid it will not be easy to ask other people."
"It was hard for you back then, but you didn't have to worry about making a living. The common people are different. It is said that bets are very valuable. If you find one, you will get rich." She pedaled to try to see farther, and said awkwardly, "That Sa It's true, the national teacher obviously doesn't like him, but he still puts on a face."
Seeing her pouting her lips, Tan Nu felt amused in his heart, but after laughing, he couldn't help but feel melancholy, and he didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune that he fell in love with someone who was hiding a lot.
The people in the caravan, together with the pack horses and camels, stretched for a full mile. The camel bells and horse bells intersected, playing a long and ancient tune.When the sun rose a little higher, he arrived at the gate of the city. Shipantuo's caravan traveled all the year round. The sergeant guarding the gate knew him, and he moved the halberd to let him pass without a few words.When they came to them, the lotus lamp was no hindrance, and Tan Nu would deliberately dodge with a guilty conscience.Fortunately, those who guarded the city were fresh recruits. They wore white robes and veils like the Sogdians, and they entered the city smoothly just like that.
After entering the city, there is a different scene. Suiye City is simply a rubbing of Chang'an. Except that there are many barbarians in the market, no matter whether it is shops or control, it is almost the same as Chang'an.Lian Deng sighed softly: "King Ding manages this place to be so prosperous, why would he want to make an idea of the Central Plains? If it were me, wouldn't it be nice to have a place to live in and spend the rest of my life with flowers and grass? Peace is not easy to come by, Why bother fighting again."
Tan Nu said: "Everyone's ideas are different, and sometimes we don't want to fight for steamed buns. King Ding's mother is a queen, and the throne should be passed on to him at the beginning, but it's a pity that he is much older than him today, and at that time he held a heavy army. He has suffered a dark loss and has been unhappy for 40 to [-] years. Now that his wings are full, it is time for his shame. Anxi has lost your Aye guard again, and no one can check and balance him. If he doesn't move now, when will he wait?"
Three years after the death of Baili Duhu, King Ding's preparations were almost done.Looking around at the lotus lantern, there are troops stationed on the street, with iron armor and long swords, as if they are ready to join the war at any time.She turned her head and asked Tan Nu, "Where is Prince Ding's residence?"
Tan Nu pointed to the south, "Tongtuo Street is at the end."
She squinted her eyes and looked into the distance. Although she couldn't see it, she had a direction in her heart and knew that the enemy was not far away.
But right now, we can't make any mistakes. Since they came in with the caravan, they would harm these innocent Sogdians if they acted rashly.Things have to be done one by one, go to Ya Bulu first according to the original plan, and after the poison on Tanu's body is cured, she will have a helper at least, and it will be much easier to do things.
So he still followed the Sogdians and stayed at the station.Shi Pantuo fell in love, hurriedly arranged the goods, and the rest was to go around the national division.The national teacher had no choice but to be patient, sitting on the mat and fanning non-stop, and said in a charming voice, "When will Sabao take us to find that ancient tomb?"
Shi Pantuo said soon, "When I contact the old customers, I will send out this batch of goods. It won't take long, at most three to five days! Ladies, please be patient, wait for me, and prepare some things. If you find Abulu, you can do it right away." He paused, and looked at them hesitantly, "Suiye City has laws, and those who dig graves will turn their bones into ashes. You are really just looking for Abulu , wouldn’t it be for the funerary objects in the tomb!”
The national teacher covered his lips and smiled, "Although we are poor, we haven't fallen to the point of robbing graves. Don't worry, Sa Bao, we only want to keep money. Even if we find money, we don't take any money, how about it all go to Sa Bao?"
Sa Bao scratched his head in embarrassment, "You must not misunderstand. Don't say that you are not doing it for money, even if you really go for the sacrificial objects, I am obliged to do so."
Lian Deng smiled on the face, sighed blindly in the dark, being dazzled by love is like that.A person like Shi Pantuo is straightforward, which is really hard to hate.Other men are desperate after falling in love with a woman. I don't know if the national teacher can do this in the future.Thinking in her heart, she peeked at him, and he lowered his eyelashes, standing still.
During the two days when the Sogdians were looking for their next home, Lian Deng secretly went to the end of Tongtuo Street.King Ding's mansion is of course the most luxurious building in Suiye City, with white walls and black tiles, and a wide gate, but due to the strict guards, it can only be seen from a distance.She stood in the corner and looked at it for a long time, feeling strangely familiar. The cutting stone and dismounting stone in front of the door were very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.Recall carefully, but can't recall, probably because she came to Prince Ding's Mansion with Aye!
Shipantuo was very trustworthy in his work, and he brought back good news three days later, "I found a local in the south of the Huguo Temple, and according to him, there was a faint glow in the tomb at night, which was emitted by Yabulu. It seems that the rumors are very credible. People here don't understand, and they are afraid of being poisoned, so no one dares to dig. I plan to go to explore tonight. There are people guarding the tomb there. I need to act. I need to prepare something to defend against the poisonous gas. Ladies, wait for me for another day..." His so-called ladies are actually only the national teacher, who stared at him with a smirk, "Chang'an, if you find Yabulu, then Our business..."
The national teacher's forehead twitched several times in a row, and he couldn't let it go, so he ambiguously perfunctory, "Let's talk about it when the time comes!"
Shi Pantuo was very happy, and he didn't refuse, which meant he had an idea, so he worked more and more wholeheartedly.When the tools and anti-poison medicine were ready, they were notified that they could go south of the city.
The tombs of the former dynasty have a history of nearly 200 years. The nobles who returned to the country were buried in the tomb. It is said that he was a very good prince who was in charge of Suiye City at that time.After King Ding took root here, he also sent people to protect the tomb group, but the longer the time, the more careless the tomb guards were, so it was easy to sneak in with a little money.
The stars are dim tonight, so it is a good opportunity to do something. Shi Pantuo led them and four helpers into the cemetery quietly, muttering as he walked, "Actually, you don't have to come for such a dangerous thing, just wait for my news at the inn... ..." As he spoke, he turned his head to look under the dim light, and found that his beauty seemed a little different from usual.Everyone changed into night clothes, and there was no special decoration to distinguish between men and women when they were mixed together. The beauty had her hair loosely tied, her face remained the same, but her body shape seemed to have changed, with wide shoulders, narrow waist and long legs. like a man?He wondered in his heart, could it be a hallucination caused by being smoked by poisonous gas?He looked at her suspiciously, the beauty stared at her and gave him a wink, he came back to his senses and immediately cheered up.
This is a family tomb, and the cemetery is arranged according to the Big Dipper. The tomb with the bullu is on the gang position, which is the position of the spoon handle.It looks nothing special from here, but when a ray of light shines on it, distorted colored awns rise up vaguely, which can basically be determined to be correct.
Shipantuo distributed cloth belts soaked in asparagus juice to everyone, and asked them to stay a little farther away, and led his men to find the entrance of the tomb passage.Usually the entrance is between Fangcheng and Baoding, but here is very strange. Probably the Uighurs were afraid of tomb robbers, so they made the entrance very hidden, and they couldn't find it after searching for a long time.
The three people stood aside and watched them go around the tomb for a long time, even climbing to the top of the tomb, they couldn't find anything.Lian Deng was a little anxious, and if the delay continued, it would be dawn, so he tied his cloth belt and planned to go to battle in person.
The national teacher grabbed her, "What are you going to do?"
She said: "Time is limited, and it will be too late at dawn. You wait here, and I will go and have a look."
He frowned, looked up at the sky, it took too long.Shi Pantuo is a very shrewd person, even if he can't find the entrance, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for others.He didn't have much time and had to get things done today.He raised his hand and clapped his hands, and the guards of the shrine who were hiding in the dark appeared from all directions.
Everyone was very surprised and stared blankly at the disciples in brocade clothes who pulled the wires to measure.There are certain rules in the tombs all over the world. It is difficult to find which door is right and which position is found by looking for it with the naked eye.The national teacher is proficient in Qimen Dunjia, in fact, these are not too difficult for him, as long as he has tools and people for him to send, he can quickly find them.
Sure enough, he found something on the screen wall under the Moon City, Xia Guan cupped his hands and shouted on the seat, motioning him to look at the sunken low-lying land.He nodded, and the gunpowder buried in the ground was ignited, because the target range was small and did not cause a big explosion.There was a muffled bang, and after the smoke and dust had passed, a square opening appeared on the ground. It was dark inside, emitting a gloomy air.
Shi Pantuo was almost dumbfounded. The people brought by the beauty were quick and well-trained.He suddenly felt frightened, what is their origin?He only wanted a gentle and affectionate wife, and never wanted to be involved in any disputes.
Since there are so many people helping, he can quit, right?He hesitated, someone behind him pushed him on the back, he staggered, and was forced to follow them into the grave.
The national teacher tied his own cloth belt on the lotus lantern, and complained: "You didn't get that shark bead back in the end, look at it now, and you will know its benefits when you need to put it to use."
She looked at him suspiciously, why did everything seem to be in his expectation?When he gave her the Shark Bead back then, was it just to deal with today?
He seemed a little guilty, he turned his eyes away from looking at her, held a torch by himself, and protected her behind him.
Lian Deng turned around and pulled Tan Nu, Tan Nu walked one foot deep and one foot shallow, the tomb passage was very damp, slipped several times and nearly fell down.The surrounding smell is also not good, and the damp and moldy moisture permeates the nasal cavity through the strands of gauze, making it suffocating.
Shi Pantuo has completely become a tool for exploring the way, with the point of a knife on his waist, he looked back with difficulty, "Chang'an, what is this?"
The national teacher glanced at him lightly, "Shut up if you want to survive, and it won't be hard for you to find Yabulu."
He was disappointed, the beauty's voice also turned into a male voice, which he had been dreaming about for several days, turned out to be a man all along.He wanted to cry but had no tears, his heart wept blood, and he murmured: "How could you lie to me..."
The national teacher turned a deaf ear to it, and there was a tomb door ahead of the tomb passage. The tomb door was a thick boulder, and it took everyone to work together to push it open.
After all, it was a tomb that was hundreds of years old, and the air underneath was very cloudy, and even in the midsummer season, people were shivering from the cold.Lian Deng was worried that Tan Nu would not be able to bear it, so she whispered: "You can't go any further, I'll go find the bones, you stay here and wait for me."
Tannu grabbed her tightly, and the national teacher smiled, "Are you afraid? Lian Deng is right, your body can't stand the cold, so it's better to stay here." Turning around, he appointed two people and asked them to Accompany her here to guard the entrance.
They continued to move forward, the torches were shining on the road ahead, and the ground was mottled with greenery.Look carefully, it turns out that the corridor is full of coins. After years of corrosion, the copper coins have a thick layer of green moss.
Shi Pantuo was still muttering, the fire that the national teacher had been accumulating for a few days was about to erupt, and the end of the corridor was the front room, he kicked Shi Pantuo on the buttocks, "Go in and investigate, if you talk too much, I will kill you!"
Shi Pantuo had no choice but to shrink back into the cave with a torch in his hand.
The front room is equivalent to the hall of a family house, and it is luxuriously arranged. There are a large number of colorful murals painted on the curtain wall, and the four corners of the tomb are filled with burial objects and sacrificial ritual vessels.However, Shi Pantuo found that they did not come here for the funerary objects. Although Hui Hui was not a very rich country, the nobles lived a life ten thousand times better than the common people.You can't enjoy it while you're alive, and you have to take it underground when you die, so the burial of returning home is much more solemn than other Western Region countries.They dismissed the gold and silver utensils that were placed everywhere, and they seemed to be used to seeing big scenes.The beauty only urged him to go into the back room, Shi Pantuo looked back at him, "Abulu is just ahead, don't cover your mouth and nose, be careful of poisoning."
He raised his chin, "You don't need to worry about it, just lead the way."
Shi Pantuo had no choice but to walk forward by touching the wall of the tomb, passing a white marble gate, and in front of him was the tomb room where the coffin was placed.The back room is more ornate than the front room. The sun, moon and stars are painted on the high-arched tomb roof. The corners of the wall are filled with music, chess, calligraphy, paintings and daily necessities. Everything is as usual, but the coffin of the tomb owner looks very strange.
This tomb is not the tomb of a single person. The Hui nobleman brought seven martyrs with him before leaving. The seven coffins surrounded the golden coffin in the middle like stars and moons. A thick stalk protruded from the inside and gathered to feed the huge strange thing that resembled a human head on top.
Lian Deng was taken aback, the stench of the rotting corpse almost made her vomit, even the national teacher couldn't help it, and raised his sleeve to cover his nose.She had the courage to look out from behind him, the thing only looked like a human head, but in fact it should be a huge fungus, the roots underneath were similar to ginseng, but more than a hundred times bigger than ginseng.
That is the bet!She was happy, and planned to go to visit, but was stopped by Shipantuo, "It is highly poisonous and hurts people, so you can't touch it directly. The medicinal properties will disappear after the rhizome leaves the coffin and soil."
The people in the Jingu Palace did not need to be instructed by the national teacher. The rope was thrown back and forth several times, and the part exposed outside the coffin was tied tightly. More than a dozen people gathered together and dragged the coffin in one direction, dragging the coffin. With a soft sound, the poison was finally pulled out by the roots.
Lian Deng has never seen such a disgusting thing, its rhizome pierced through the bones, and its thin and transparent whiskers squirmed under the firelight, like thousands of gnatflies.Everyone took two steps back, a little at a loss, but Shi Pantuo stepped forward to burn it with a torch, and when he touched it, a large area was immediately scorched black, he is not afraid of fire.
After the roots were burnt, Shipantuo clapped his hands happily, "My big poisonous ginseng is indeed a good thing. If I sell it in the Central Plains, I don't know how many houses I can buy!" Picking it up and handing it to Lian Deng, he said with a smile, "Here, it's yours."
Lian Deng shook her head, knelt down and picked a leg bone and broke it, raised her hand and said: "This is what I want, if you don't bet on it, it will be yours, as the reward for these few days."
So to a large extent, everyone got what they deserved, and Shipantuo suddenly felt less sad. Losing love and getting money, the business is not considered a loss.The Sogdians were like this, they would never miss a chance to make a fortune, and the people who came with them took the opportunity to grab a few handfuls of jewels, pocketed them in their arms, and left happily.
Lian Deng didn't pay much attention to money, and walked back with the severed bone in his hand. After walking two steps, he found that the national teacher was gone. He hurriedly looked around and saw a light in the ear room. Pre-trance.
The lotus lamp followed his line of sight, and there was a iron coupon of Dan Shu in the box, written on the red iron with gold leaf and cinnabar, densely packed with two kinds of characters, one is Chinese, and the other is probably similar to Khitan or Uyghur. .Without knowing it, she looked up at him, and his face showed an expression she had never seen before, a little crazy, as if she had been yearning for it for a long time and couldn't restrain her urgency.
He took two steps forward, stretched out his hand carefully and piously, touched the corner, and immediately retracted as if he was burned, his face full of astonishment.
Lian Deng tilted her head to look at him, "Lin Yuan, what are you doing?"
He turned around and put his hands on her shoulders, "Lian Deng, I want that."
She nodded, "The owner of the tomb has been dead for hundreds of years, you can take it if you want."
But she didn't understand, she didn't open her eyes, all she saw was a piece of red iron.From his point of view, the iron coupon was burning with raging fire, and his pure yang blood would boost its power, if he dared to touch it, he would be burned to ashes.
So now it's time for her to reciprocate. He took her hand and stroked the skin on her wrist. At some point, a cut was made, and blood flowed out.She was terrified but obedient, he didn't look at her, didn't speak, just pressed the wound on the edge of the iron coupon with all his strength.She began to tremble all over, and he knew she was in pain, and the iron stick would suck her blood, and if he was unlucky, it might drain her dry.He was inexplicably sad, but he couldn't look back.It took so much effort to bring her here, and now what he longed for is in front of him, and he can't give up just because of the kindness of a woman for a while.
His master once told him the method, "You need a person with pure yin blood, and feed it willingly. Even the moment before death, you can't carry any resentment."
He stroked her face, bowed his head and kissed her, "Lian Deng, I love you." I don't know if these words are comforting to her, if she will die, I hope she won't hate him.
Lian Deng is a silly girl who is willing to sacrifice for her Mrs. Yazhai at any time.She thought dazedly, Aibi liked it again, it was strange that he said he loves her, it turns out that the national teacher can also love.
She smiled reluctantly, cold sweat streaming down her temples, she was a little ashamed, she must be ugly now.
The dizziness was severe and his face was doubled.She turned her head to look at the iron coupon, like a rising tide, all her blood had actually been poured into it.The red iron slowly became dull, covered a large area of writing, reached the end, and almost covered the corners... But she couldn't open her eyelids, and suddenly a huge wave hit her, and she fell into the boundless darkness.
When it was all over, he stood there with his sleeves hanging down.Looking down, she was pale.He raised his finger and pressed it on her neck, the arteries were only beating slightly.He put her down, took out the iron coupon of Danshu from the box, and laughed mockingly.Just now the flames were raging, but now they are just a lump of iron.
He stepped over her to the door of the ear room, and told Qiu Guan, "Push Tan Nu in when closing the door of the tomb, and let them have a companion."
Qiu Guan said yes, leading him back to the front room.
The soles of the shoes stepped on the endless copper coins, making a soft clicking sound.He walked very slowly, obviously he should be very satisfied, but he felt as if he had lost something, and his heart was in a state of turmoil.The lotus lamp stays here, and his hazy love also stays here. Is this really necessary?Step by step, he walked more and more heavily, suddenly stopped, grabbed a torch and walked back.He didn't know what fear was before, but now he felt scared.Running into the ear room, the distance of ten feet is so far, and I am so anxious to run.Fortunately, she was there, and he picked her up and held her tightly in his arms.Regardless of whether she can live or not, she should not be abandoned.
He took her out of the underground palace, and Tan Nu was shocked when he saw her, but didn't say a word.She is a smart person, no matter what happened in the tomb, the most important thing for her to do now is to keep silent.
Of course, the post station can't go back again. The people from the Jingu had already infiltrated Suiye City and arranged a place to stay in a corner of the city.There is no need to worry about the Sogdians leaking the news. They got benefits after participating, and the soles of their feet were oiled at dawn the next day.
Tan Nu didn't know who to blame, Lian Deng was lying there dying, she had no other choice but to cry.
In fact, the culprit is still her. If she hadn't been poisoned by Yabulu, the lotus lantern would not have entered the tomb, nor would it have become what it is now.She couldn't find out the reason for her injury, and her wound was bandaged up, but she couldn't forget how shocking it was at that time.
The national teacher didn't say anything, he should be very anxious, and asked someone to boil blood-enriching medicine to feed her himself.When he was desperate, he cut his wrist and asked her to drink blood, but she couldn't drink it, the blood flowed everywhere, he fainted from blood, staggered and fell down in front of her couch.
But he couldn't stay for too long after all, he still had things to do.After three days, the lotus lantern still hadn't improved, so he led the crowd to leave.
Looking at the unknown lotus lamp, Tan Nu almost shed tears.She had lost too much blood, and she was like a piece of paper with almost no weight.She is used to seeing her alive and kicking, busy taking care of them along the way, riding a horse and singing Red Fox is the happiest time for her.Now that she is so lifeless, what can she use to treat her?
Sometimes I feel that human relationships are as thin as paper, the national teacher is so good with her, and at most he only guarded her for three days, as expected, men are the most unreliable.Fortunately, with God's blessing, Lian Deng was very upbeat, persisted for a few days, and gradually regained consciousness.
She said: "The scourge has lived for thousands of years, I must be a monster."
But Tan Nu couldn't laugh, and took care of her more conscientiously.She leaned on her shoulder and sighed: "Fortunately, I have sisters." At the same time, she was worried about the poison on her body.Tan Nu said that she had been relieved a long time ago, and she was in a coma for seven days.
After her health improved, she began to plan how to enter the Ding Palace.Regarding the national teacher, she just feels disappointed, what is not yours is not yours after all, he will fly very high, she can't trap him.
Tan Nu was brooding about her injury, "How did you get the gash on your wrist? As long as it gets deeper, your hand will be useless."
She was very sad, but she didn't intend to tell Tan Nu the truth, she was still facing him, wanting to defend him.He vaguely covered it up, saying that it might have been accidentally scratched when picking a bet.Asked how she left the underground palace, Tan Nu said that the national teacher brought her out, and she felt a little comforted, at least he didn't abandon her, which is not bad.
She turned her head to see the wind blowing on the banana tree outside the window, the leaves were beating like waves.I don't know where he has gone now, or if he is still in Suiye City.He wants to deal with King Ding, but King Ding has great power, and there is no other way but to assassinate him.She promised to help him, and she could not go back on her promise.Besides, when he said he loved her, she might be a little silly and already believed it.
(End of this chapter)
You will call me by my name from now on, with permission from this seat.
"Leaping over thousands of miles of grassland, crossing the desert wind and sand, seeing your gentle eyes, kissing your lips behind the tulle..." Sogt Sabao's throat is rough and clear, and his voice can float several miles away.Sitting on a camel, he kept looking back while singing.
The national teacher's face turned blue and then pale, Lian Deng was afraid that he would have an attack, so he had no choice but to comfort him, "You forgot that you were disguised as a girl, it's all for me!"
"He dares!" He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll kill him! Yellow-haired ghost, I haven't seen a woman in a thousand years!"
She grinned, "Who made you look so good? I heard that people in the Western Regions like strong girls. Big people are in good health and good for fertility. Sabao must not be married yet. He is the leader and needs a capable wife , your appearance is exactly what he wants."
The national teacher was dizzy from the singing, and even listening to her nonsense, he was even more angry.Lian Deng was afraid of making him angry, so she stroked his hand carefully, "You are a man, it's okay to be slighted." Seeing a five baht coin in his fingertips, she quickly suppressed it in horror, " We can't do anything, we can't enter the city after he dies."
The national teacher couldn't breathe out, and hung his head on the camel, "Tell him to shut up."
Lian Deng was helpless, "The mouth grows on someone's body, and I can't care about it." Patted himself on the shoulder, "Are you tired? Sleep with me for a while, and you won't be able to hear when you fall asleep."
When they came, there were three people and three horses, and they entered the caravan to obey others' orders.Horses run faster than camels, and Sa Bao couldn't let the camel team break the rules, so everyone changed to riding camels, and the horses contributed their load.Lian Deng and the national teacher share the same horse, also to protect him from being harassed.
He was unhappy, and Lian Deng tried to persuade him for a long time, but he finally compromised. He lowered his body and hugged her waist, and took a nap on her back. Skin, towering breasts, the whole caravan laughed.The national teacher hissed, planning to teach him a lesson.
Lian Deng also felt that Sa Bao had done too much, but she didn't need the national teacher to come forward. She grabbed the hump and leaned forward, called Sa Bao, cupped her hands and said: "We were paid for our trip, if you don't think so It’s convenient, we can join other caravans, please don’t bully my sister like this.”
All the Sogdians looked here, and that Sabao knew he was wrong, so he stopped singing, folded his hands in front of his chest, bowed and said, "Please forgive me for not being able to help it, I haven't seen such a beautiful girl for a long time. Yes. To be honest, her eyes are very similar to my mother's..."
The national teacher gritted his teeth and scolded Gou Niang, "He can sing this kind of song to his mother, as if I were a three-year-old child?"
The high-ranking national teacher is now being molested like this, and it really brings tears of bitterness to say it.Lian Deng pulled the gauze for him, covered his whole body tightly, and raised his voice: "We Dali people don't like this. Dali people respect Confucianism, pay attention to not thinking in the heart, not speaking in vain, Sa Bao Since we are doing business with Dali, we should do as the Romans do.”
Na Sabao fell silent, anyway, he accepted her opinion, and then he didn't speak out again.
The camel caravan walked very slowly, they could already see the outline of Suiye City, but they could not enter the city even though it was dark.Although there was no curfew in the city, the gates were being cut off, and the Sogdians were not in a hurry, so they camped four or five miles away from the city.
Now that I have a backer, I don’t have to worry about passing the ban anymore. I mix with the crowd and wait around the campfire for Sabao to distribute food.
The national teacher changed into women's clothing, probably really regarded herself as a woman, and her actions became very sticky, and she was with the lotus lamp almost all the time.Lian Deng held his head high and held his chest high. At this moment, he felt that he was responsible for protecting him. He looked around and his eyes were shining.
The national teacher said: "Why are you so kind to me?"
She said: "The national teacher is mine."
He choked, "When did I become yours?" After thinking about it, he didn't reject it at all.So she leaned closer and held her hand in her palm, "There are so many people now, be careful that the walls have ears, and you can call me by my name from now on, with my permission."
She turned her head to look at him, hesitated for a while, and whispered, "Lin Yuan."
His heart couldn't help trembling, this name was not commonly used, and no one dared to call it directly, but now that it came to her mouth, calling it out solemnly moved him indescribably.He hummed, and squeezed her hand tightly, "I'll call it that from now on, don't change it."
She looked at him with a smile, and found that he and herself had kissed a lot again, so he probably wouldn't need to be tied up in the future, and would be willing to stay in the cave with her!Just as he was about to talk to him, he raised his eyes and saw a young Sogdian walking towards them, with a smooth head and a very good appearance.I don't know if it's someone from the caravan, but I haven't seen it anyway.Seeing the woman next to him stare in astonishment, she became more and more confused about his origin.
The Sogdian walked up to them and bowed respectfully, "Beautiful person, please take a step to speak."
Lian Deng was dumbfounded, Cang Pan and the national teacher looked at each other, straightened up and said: "Who is your Excellency?"
The Sogdian rubbed his chin, the circle of mustache had just been shaved, forming a faint blue shadow from under the ears.He was a little ashamed, blushing and said: "This is my caravan, I am caravan Sabao."
Lian Deng got excited, and in order to please the girl, he shaved off his lush beard, which was considered a big expense.It turned out that under the weeds grew a very beautiful face, coupled with a strong and good body, this Sogdian man can be regarded as a handsome man from the Western Regions.
But is Sabao all lustful?Last time, it was Sabao who tried to counteract the misconduct. The Sogdians had no restraints. Sabao was equivalent to the emperor of the land, so what did he want to do?You have fallen in love with the national teacher, and plan to continue pestering?
Their eyes were not friendly and their expressions were disgusted. Of course that Sabao also noticed it, and hurriedly waved his hands and said: "No, no... I don't mean any harm. The girl's fault is my dead sister's, so I have to talk to the girl and deal with it." Tomorrow's interrogation."
The national teacher was disgusted for a long time, and if he really couldn't do it, he could just get rid of this barbarian and lead the caravan himself.Then he got up and pressed down on the shoulder of the lotus lamp, beckoned Sa Bao to lead the way, and followed him to the tent.
Tan Nu came back with the pancakes, looked around, but couldn't find the national teacher.Asking Lian Deng with his eyes, Lian Deng pointed to the distance and said angrily: "I was taken away by Sabao."
Tan Nu didn't seem anxious, gave her the cake in his hand, sat down and whispered: "He is a man, are you still afraid that he will suffer? You just take care of yourself, the national teacher's means are very high, don't worry .”
Lian Deng reluctantly looked back, pulled a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth, and muttered: "This Sa Bao is also a good judge, with the same eyesight as mine. It's a pity that he made a wrong calculation and even shaved his beard. If he knew that he had been duped , why don’t you regret your green intestines.” Thinking about it, he found it very interesting, and he covered his mouth and laughed.
Tan Nu shook her head helplessly, and moved towards the campfire. There were snow-capped mountains on both sides of the valley, and she couldn't stand the cold.
Lian Deng raised his arms around her, rubbed her shoulders, turned around and saw a Sogdian man sitting not far away, met her eyes, and smiled kindly with his lips pursed.She smiled back and chatted up with him after a short pause, "This is the biggest caravan we have seen along the way. Have you been doing business in the Hexi Corridor? Have you ever been to the Central Plains?"
The Sogdian nodded and said of course, "However, the tariffs have increased in recent years, and basically no more than Zhangye. The west of Zhangye is our world. Dawan, Wusun, Shule, and the Turks in the north are everywhere."
Lian Deng raised hope after hearing this, suppressed his excitement and said: "In this case, I must have a lot of knowledge. I have read "The Biography of the Western Regions", and I am very interested in the customs and customs of the 36 countries recorded in the book...Have you been to the Shura?" Le Guo, have you heard of Yabulu?"
The Sogdian thought for a while, "I have heard about it, but I don't know it very well. I only know that it is a very powerful poison. Humans and animals will definitely die if they hear it." After that, he glanced at them, "Why do you ask this?"
Tan Nu squeezed out a smile, "It's nothing, I just heard a Hu doctor talking about it last time, and I was a little curious."
Lian Deng said in a timely manner: "It seems to be more poisonous than the arsenic in the Central Plains, so there is no way to cure it?"
The Sogdian shrugged his shoulders, "How can there be poison in the world that cannot be cured? It's a pity that I just joined the caravan and heard it from hearsay. If you really want to know, you can ask Sabao. He knows all kinds of rare things."
Lian Deng was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled up Tan Nu and ran to the big tent, and called at the door, Na Sabao came out to meet him, and went in to see the national teacher sitting on the Persian rug, eating grapes leisurely.
Lian Deng despised him a little bit, and she was still worried that he would be underestimated by others, and as a result, his life was more comfortable than theirs.It can't be said, the national teacher always has this ability to turn things around, his luck seems to be very good, no matter when he can live so chicly.
Perhaps Sa Bao loves the house and loves his wife, and he is very enthusiastic about them, and without the schemes of profiteers, he invites them to sit down, eat cakes and drink tea.
Lian Deng gave way, without turning a corner, and directly asked him if he could bet.The national teacher raised his eyes and looked over. In order to show off his talent and learning in front of his beloved, Sabao said without thinking: "This medicine is highly poisonous, but it becomes very valuable after being exposed to the sun. For example, you have gangrene on your legs. , to cut off the whole leg, and drink with beetroot powder, it will make people sleepy, and the pain will not be felt."
What they cared about was the antidote, and when they asked again, Sabao said very lightly, "You Central Plains people say that all things grow and restrain each other. The roots of Yabulu grow on the corpse, and the bones are left after the meat is rotten. The bones are ground into powder, too. With wine, drink it for three days in a row.”
They tried their best to find an antidote, but when they came to him, they solved it in a few words.Lian Deng and Tan Nu looked at each other, and it felt like a dream.Now there is a solution, but where can I find the place where the poisonous ginseng is hidden?
Lian Deng licked his lips, and tentatively said: "We are in urgent need of this medicine, can Sabao find it for us? If you can help us, we still have some money, which can be used as a reward."
Yabulu is highly poisonous, not to mention eating it, even a little smell is enough to kill you. Money is a good thing, but you have to be blessed to enjoy it.Sure enough, Sabao hesitated, sat there, hammered his knees with both hands and said: "The last time I saw Yabulu was in the Jingjue Kingdom more than ten years ago. This medicine is naturally formed after the condensed corpse energy , not by artificial breeding, meeting is a chance, and you can’t ask for it. I’m afraid it’s not very expensive to look for it now..." He turned his eyes and saw the beauty in front of the grape plate looking at him, and suddenly he was refreshed. The conversation immediately turned a big corner, "But maybe you can try it. There is a legend in Suiye City that someone twenty miles south of the Huguo Temple once discovered this poison. I guess it is the location of the tomb of the previous dynasty, because it can't be reed. It takes hundreds of years of corpse energy to support it to grow, and when we enter the city, we will know when we go there to have a look.”
Lian Deng let out a long breath, and finally had hope, which was more joyful than the gold and silver piled up in front of him.As long as the antidote can be found, the national teacher will no longer have to suffer from flesh and blood, Tan Nu will return to his previous life, and he can go back to Chang'an and marry General Xiao.
She stood up, and Tan Nu respectfully saluted Sabao, "Thank you for your help, and we will definitely reward you with a lot of money when things are done."
Now Sa Bao doesn't value money at all, money can be earned to old age, and a good marriage may only come once in a lifetime.He stared at the beauty obsessively, she had a calm expression on her face, he simply loved her alienation to death.So trying to please her and doing things for her sisters is the most practical way to narrow the distance between them.
He waved his hands incessantly, "It is my honor to be able to serve ladies." Then he bowed to the beauty, "May I ask your lady's name?"
The national teacher looked at Lian Deng weakly, and Lian Deng hurriedly said: "Her name is Chang'an, the Chang'an in the capital city of the Central Plains."
Sabao was amazed, "Good name, really grand." Then he couldn't wait to introduce himself, "My name is Shipantuo, I am 29 years old, I am not married, and I have been waiting for someone who is destined. I respect Han culture and hope to be lucky enough to be with Dali When a woman gets married, I..."
Before he finished speaking, the national teacher got up lazily, pulled the lotus lantern and went out.
Tan Nu smiled apologetically at Shi Pantuo, and quickly backed out. Hearing a little dispute between them, the national teacher complained, "Are you planning to sell me?"
Lian Deng said: "The parents are not bad, and they are sincere... In the end, it is not the people who suffer! If you are wronged, Tan Nu will be saved..."
She gradually slowed down and watched them walk away side by side.
The national teacher looked up at the moon in the sky, his eyes were dark, "So I have to continue pretending?"
Lian Deng touched his belt and nodded, "You can do what you want!"
"Then what if Shi Pantuo wants to marry me? How can I condescend to perform such a drama!"
Seeing that he was about to lose his temper again, Lian Deng hurriedly relieved him, "We won't let you marry him, please ask him to take us to find poisonous ginseng, don't let him be busy, just give him all the money on your body I just want to take advantage of his admiration for you, which is very embarrassing, if he knows that he loves the wrong person, he may not be able to cry..." She said, and she couldn't help laughing, "You ate his grapes and cherries just now. If you don't like him, you shouldn't accept his kindness. Why are you complaining now? If you can't do it, you can pay off the debt with me, as long as he likes me."
"Use you to repay the debt? Is your beauty comparable to this seat?" The national teacher snorted, "You are so kind to Tan Nu, and you can make such a big sacrifice for her."
She nodded seriously, "Not only Tan Nu, but also Zhuan Zhuan."
"What about this seat?"
She sighed, "Same. But they are willing to stab me in the opposite direction, what about the national teacher? Maybe they stab me twice."
He didn't respond to her immediately, and accidentally thought of the crooked place, blushing under the night, "I will try to be as light as possible."
Lian Deng was not as impure-minded as he was, and didn't understand the metaphor in his words at all. He only thought he agreed, and said solemnly: "The national teacher will bear with it for two days and wait until we enter the city. If we can find someone to take us there, So it’s okay to say goodbye to Shi Pantuo.”
He rolled his eyes, turned and left.Lian Deng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly chased after two steps, "Lin Yuan..."
Only then did he stop and turn around, with a face full of reluctance, "Is it really enough to endure these two days?"
She said flatteringly, "If you find the antidote for Tanu, you don't have to cut your wrists all the time. I watch you bleed, and it hurts more than you."
The national teacher's face turned bright after hearing this, and he made another request, "I want to sleep with you tonight."
The corner of Lian Deng's mouth twitched, and he nodded his head.
So the two of them set up a tent on the grass a little away from the caravan. Before going to bed, they put their chins on the lotus lamp to look at the moon in the sky, and murmured: "I don't know what happened to Jiu Se, is the old emperor dead..."
"Nine colors will be fine. Among all the deer, it is the most obedient, greedy and lazy. When we go back, it should have grown very mighty." He hugged her and let her lean against her. Over his own shoulder, he said blankly again, "The old emperor... I hope he can hold on for a while. The princes of the Central Plains are fighting. If King Ding enters at this time while taking advantage of the chaos, I don't know what will happen."
Lian Deng fell silent. After a long time, he looked at Tianyu and said, "Is this the purpose of your coming to Suiye City?"
The national teacher was slightly stunned, and looked at her with a little more surprise. It turned out that she was not kept in the dark and kept silent. It did not mean that she did not know. This is very good, and it is easy to communicate with preparations.
He slowly relaxed, propped himself up and said yes, "Dali is the one that I watched to prosper day by day. King Ding supports his own troops and has already posed a threat to the court, so I want to get rid of him, protect the country, and serve as a successor." The king clears the way." He smiled and turned to look at her, "Liandeng, will you help me?"
Lian Deng nodded, "He is my enemy, and I was going to seek revenge from him." After finishing speaking, he paused, "Is what happened in Chang'an City really a plan by Fang Zhou? Or did you co-act it? A play, to disturb people's sight and hearing?"
If it is a joint venture, there is no need to go through such a big circle. Everything in the Supreme Shrine is unknown to outsiders, and how to arrange it depends entirely on his plan.Unless it is to confuse some people, maybe it is Jinshang, or some prince who is spying on the throne.If that was the case, she would have sympathized with him a little bit. The ruler of Dali turned his back on him, but he still devoted himself to this country.
He didn't want to go into details, but just shook his head slightly, "Don't ask so many questions, just kill King Ding."
Everyone has a wound in their heart that they don't want to mention. Although the national teacher is beautiful, he still eats whole grains.It's just that what he misses is much grander than her. In front of the country and ideals, personal grievances are nothing.
Lian Deng said yes, and then asked: "Will the Central Plains fight? The emperor's sons, are you going to fight to the death for the top spot?"
He looked at the sky and murmured: "When the Daming Palace is only one step away, no one can resist the temptation of imperial power."
Lian Deng sighed, seeing the moon climbed higher and higher, and had already reached the mid-heaven, so she laid out a blanket and greeted him, "Sleep, I have to go to the city tomorrow."
A strange smile appeared on his face, and he quickly turned around and climbed into the tent.
The tent is a very small military tent, which can only accommodate one person, and it is a little crowded for two people to sleep together.The lotus lamp moved to the side as much as possible so that he could sleep more comfortably.If the lamp is not lit in the tent, and the curtain is drawn down, it will be dark inside.She was a little nervous at first, after all, he was a man, and he was so close.But after each of them lay down, they felt pretty good. She could smell the vague fragrance of his body, as well as his shallow breathing and calm state of mind.
She called him softly, "Are you asleep?"
His nasal voice was thick, "I can't sleep."
She turned sideways, and there was only a faint figure in the haze.She tried to open her eyes wide to see him clearly, "Didn't he notice that your voice was wrong when you were talking to Shi Pantuo?"
He lazily said: "People in the Supreme Shrine not only change their appearance, but also change their voice."
Only then did she understand, "No wonder Fang Zhou pretended to be you at that time. I didn't realize it at all. It wasn't because I was slow, but because you were so clever."
He sneered, "Aren't you slow? Don't make money for yourself."
Lian Deng thought to herself that she was actually very wise and stupid, and she didn't want to make things so clear, because it was easy to muddle along.
He turned around and faced her face to face, his voice in the dark was exceptionally gentle, "How are you recently?"
She patted her forehead and said it was okay, "It's just that the chest is often tight, maybe it's because I'm too tired."
"It's been hard for you these days." It was rare for him to say such considerate words.
She groaned, "You're getting warm!" As she spoke, she reached into his wide sleeves and climbed up until she touched his shoulders.Although it is still a bit different from normal people, it is already a great improvement for him.
When she was happy, she would mess around, and the national teacher was a little embarrassed, "I am not allowed to touch you, but I touched you. If it is warm, it will be warm, so there is nothing to make a fuss about. I have been with you for so long, and it is still the same. Then this Wouldn't it be a waste of time."
What does this mean?Is it because she likes someone and gradually becomes warm, or because her pure yin blood has a certain auxiliary effect on him?
She still wanted to ask, but he hugged her tightly, "Don't be naughty, if you keep making noise, I will obediently obey you."
This really can't scare her, she struggled twice to discuss, "Then please be good to me first, and then continue talking, okay?"
He became angry from embarrassment, turned over and pressed her down, grinding his molars and said: "You asked for this yourself, you can't blame others."
Lian Deng still wanted to speak, but his lips pressed up.
The fire is burning very hot, and if it continues like this, something will happen.He knew it was time to stop, the time was wrong, and the place was wrong, but it was so difficult to stop.He clenched his hands tightly, and with the determination of a strong man to sever his wrists, he rolled aside in embarrassment.He grabbed her hand, "The lotus lamp..."
She hummed very docilely, breathing unsteadily, just like him.
He said: "I seem to like you very much."
She listened and stood up, "Really? How much do you like it?"
He closed his eyes and said, "I like Nine Colors more, I like it very much."
With his words, Lian Deng was already very satisfied.She touched his shoulder, snuggled into his arms obediently, kept stroking his face with one hand, and murmured: "I won't grow old... Will I be too old to recognize tomorrow... "
He laughed muffledly. After an unprecedentedly fierce battle, he seemed to be exhausted, but he was tired and satisfied.
As for the lotus lamp, I was surprised to find that after being obedient this time, the national teacher has completely changed himself.He helped put away the tent very diligently, and when he looked at her, there was a bright light in his eyes, and he smiled shyly, making her more lovable than before.The caravan was about to set off as a whole, and he carefully put on the curtain for her, and helped her onto the camel, and Lian Deng finally had the feeling that the hardships had all come to an end.This time, the division of labor between men and women is about to change. The national teacher will not continue to be so small-hearted. Maybe he will treat her better and hold her in the palm of his hand...
Because he had already prepared in advance, the national teacher is now busy with Shi Pantuo's love show.Let a man who has no bad habits accept another man, ordinary people will feel that life is worse than death!Lian Deng looked sourly, Shi Pantuo gave him a camel, and personally led the camel rope for him. The national teacher sat stretched between the camel's humps, he must have suffered a lot.
She sighed faintly, turned her head and said to Tan Nu: "I wonder if anyone in the city knows whether the prisoner is going to be reed, it's best to send Shi Pantuo away, don't you think the national teacher is pitiful?"
Tan Nu was also helpless, "I have wronged him, but I have lived in Suiye City for 13 years, and I have never heard of such a thing. I am afraid it will not be easy to ask other people."
"It was hard for you back then, but you didn't have to worry about making a living. The common people are different. It is said that bets are very valuable. If you find one, you will get rich." She pedaled to try to see farther, and said awkwardly, "That Sa It's true, the national teacher obviously doesn't like him, but he still puts on a face."
Seeing her pouting her lips, Tan Nu felt amused in his heart, but after laughing, he couldn't help but feel melancholy, and he didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune that he fell in love with someone who was hiding a lot.
The people in the caravan, together with the pack horses and camels, stretched for a full mile. The camel bells and horse bells intersected, playing a long and ancient tune.When the sun rose a little higher, he arrived at the gate of the city. Shipantuo's caravan traveled all the year round. The sergeant guarding the gate knew him, and he moved the halberd to let him pass without a few words.When they came to them, the lotus lamp was no hindrance, and Tan Nu would deliberately dodge with a guilty conscience.Fortunately, those who guarded the city were fresh recruits. They wore white robes and veils like the Sogdians, and they entered the city smoothly just like that.
After entering the city, there is a different scene. Suiye City is simply a rubbing of Chang'an. Except that there are many barbarians in the market, no matter whether it is shops or control, it is almost the same as Chang'an.Lian Deng sighed softly: "King Ding manages this place to be so prosperous, why would he want to make an idea of the Central Plains? If it were me, wouldn't it be nice to have a place to live in and spend the rest of my life with flowers and grass? Peace is not easy to come by, Why bother fighting again."
Tan Nu said: "Everyone's ideas are different, and sometimes we don't want to fight for steamed buns. King Ding's mother is a queen, and the throne should be passed on to him at the beginning, but it's a pity that he is much older than him today, and at that time he held a heavy army. He has suffered a dark loss and has been unhappy for 40 to [-] years. Now that his wings are full, it is time for his shame. Anxi has lost your Aye guard again, and no one can check and balance him. If he doesn't move now, when will he wait?"
Three years after the death of Baili Duhu, King Ding's preparations were almost done.Looking around at the lotus lantern, there are troops stationed on the street, with iron armor and long swords, as if they are ready to join the war at any time.She turned her head and asked Tan Nu, "Where is Prince Ding's residence?"
Tan Nu pointed to the south, "Tongtuo Street is at the end."
She squinted her eyes and looked into the distance. Although she couldn't see it, she had a direction in her heart and knew that the enemy was not far away.
But right now, we can't make any mistakes. Since they came in with the caravan, they would harm these innocent Sogdians if they acted rashly.Things have to be done one by one, go to Ya Bulu first according to the original plan, and after the poison on Tanu's body is cured, she will have a helper at least, and it will be much easier to do things.
So he still followed the Sogdians and stayed at the station.Shi Pantuo fell in love, hurriedly arranged the goods, and the rest was to go around the national division.The national teacher had no choice but to be patient, sitting on the mat and fanning non-stop, and said in a charming voice, "When will Sabao take us to find that ancient tomb?"
Shi Pantuo said soon, "When I contact the old customers, I will send out this batch of goods. It won't take long, at most three to five days! Ladies, please be patient, wait for me, and prepare some things. If you find Abulu, you can do it right away." He paused, and looked at them hesitantly, "Suiye City has laws, and those who dig graves will turn their bones into ashes. You are really just looking for Abulu , wouldn’t it be for the funerary objects in the tomb!”
The national teacher covered his lips and smiled, "Although we are poor, we haven't fallen to the point of robbing graves. Don't worry, Sa Bao, we only want to keep money. Even if we find money, we don't take any money, how about it all go to Sa Bao?"
Sa Bao scratched his head in embarrassment, "You must not misunderstand. Don't say that you are not doing it for money, even if you really go for the sacrificial objects, I am obliged to do so."
Lian Deng smiled on the face, sighed blindly in the dark, being dazzled by love is like that.A person like Shi Pantuo is straightforward, which is really hard to hate.Other men are desperate after falling in love with a woman. I don't know if the national teacher can do this in the future.Thinking in her heart, she peeked at him, and he lowered his eyelashes, standing still.
During the two days when the Sogdians were looking for their next home, Lian Deng secretly went to the end of Tongtuo Street.King Ding's mansion is of course the most luxurious building in Suiye City, with white walls and black tiles, and a wide gate, but due to the strict guards, it can only be seen from a distance.She stood in the corner and looked at it for a long time, feeling strangely familiar. The cutting stone and dismounting stone in front of the door were very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.Recall carefully, but can't recall, probably because she came to Prince Ding's Mansion with Aye!
Shipantuo was very trustworthy in his work, and he brought back good news three days later, "I found a local in the south of the Huguo Temple, and according to him, there was a faint glow in the tomb at night, which was emitted by Yabulu. It seems that the rumors are very credible. People here don't understand, and they are afraid of being poisoned, so no one dares to dig. I plan to go to explore tonight. There are people guarding the tomb there. I need to act. I need to prepare something to defend against the poisonous gas. Ladies, wait for me for another day..." His so-called ladies are actually only the national teacher, who stared at him with a smirk, "Chang'an, if you find Yabulu, then Our business..."
The national teacher's forehead twitched several times in a row, and he couldn't let it go, so he ambiguously perfunctory, "Let's talk about it when the time comes!"
Shi Pantuo was very happy, and he didn't refuse, which meant he had an idea, so he worked more and more wholeheartedly.When the tools and anti-poison medicine were ready, they were notified that they could go south of the city.
The tombs of the former dynasty have a history of nearly 200 years. The nobles who returned to the country were buried in the tomb. It is said that he was a very good prince who was in charge of Suiye City at that time.After King Ding took root here, he also sent people to protect the tomb group, but the longer the time, the more careless the tomb guards were, so it was easy to sneak in with a little money.
The stars are dim tonight, so it is a good opportunity to do something. Shi Pantuo led them and four helpers into the cemetery quietly, muttering as he walked, "Actually, you don't have to come for such a dangerous thing, just wait for my news at the inn... ..." As he spoke, he turned his head to look under the dim light, and found that his beauty seemed a little different from usual.Everyone changed into night clothes, and there was no special decoration to distinguish between men and women when they were mixed together. The beauty had her hair loosely tied, her face remained the same, but her body shape seemed to have changed, with wide shoulders, narrow waist and long legs. like a man?He wondered in his heart, could it be a hallucination caused by being smoked by poisonous gas?He looked at her suspiciously, the beauty stared at her and gave him a wink, he came back to his senses and immediately cheered up.
This is a family tomb, and the cemetery is arranged according to the Big Dipper. The tomb with the bullu is on the gang position, which is the position of the spoon handle.It looks nothing special from here, but when a ray of light shines on it, distorted colored awns rise up vaguely, which can basically be determined to be correct.
Shipantuo distributed cloth belts soaked in asparagus juice to everyone, and asked them to stay a little farther away, and led his men to find the entrance of the tomb passage.Usually the entrance is between Fangcheng and Baoding, but here is very strange. Probably the Uighurs were afraid of tomb robbers, so they made the entrance very hidden, and they couldn't find it after searching for a long time.
The three people stood aside and watched them go around the tomb for a long time, even climbing to the top of the tomb, they couldn't find anything.Lian Deng was a little anxious, and if the delay continued, it would be dawn, so he tied his cloth belt and planned to go to battle in person.
The national teacher grabbed her, "What are you going to do?"
She said: "Time is limited, and it will be too late at dawn. You wait here, and I will go and have a look."
He frowned, looked up at the sky, it took too long.Shi Pantuo is a very shrewd person, even if he can't find the entrance, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for others.He didn't have much time and had to get things done today.He raised his hand and clapped his hands, and the guards of the shrine who were hiding in the dark appeared from all directions.
Everyone was very surprised and stared blankly at the disciples in brocade clothes who pulled the wires to measure.There are certain rules in the tombs all over the world. It is difficult to find which door is right and which position is found by looking for it with the naked eye.The national teacher is proficient in Qimen Dunjia, in fact, these are not too difficult for him, as long as he has tools and people for him to send, he can quickly find them.
Sure enough, he found something on the screen wall under the Moon City, Xia Guan cupped his hands and shouted on the seat, motioning him to look at the sunken low-lying land.He nodded, and the gunpowder buried in the ground was ignited, because the target range was small and did not cause a big explosion.There was a muffled bang, and after the smoke and dust had passed, a square opening appeared on the ground. It was dark inside, emitting a gloomy air.
Shi Pantuo was almost dumbfounded. The people brought by the beauty were quick and well-trained.He suddenly felt frightened, what is their origin?He only wanted a gentle and affectionate wife, and never wanted to be involved in any disputes.
Since there are so many people helping, he can quit, right?He hesitated, someone behind him pushed him on the back, he staggered, and was forced to follow them into the grave.
The national teacher tied his own cloth belt on the lotus lantern, and complained: "You didn't get that shark bead back in the end, look at it now, and you will know its benefits when you need to put it to use."
She looked at him suspiciously, why did everything seem to be in his expectation?When he gave her the Shark Bead back then, was it just to deal with today?
He seemed a little guilty, he turned his eyes away from looking at her, held a torch by himself, and protected her behind him.
Lian Deng turned around and pulled Tan Nu, Tan Nu walked one foot deep and one foot shallow, the tomb passage was very damp, slipped several times and nearly fell down.The surrounding smell is also not good, and the damp and moldy moisture permeates the nasal cavity through the strands of gauze, making it suffocating.
Shi Pantuo has completely become a tool for exploring the way, with the point of a knife on his waist, he looked back with difficulty, "Chang'an, what is this?"
The national teacher glanced at him lightly, "Shut up if you want to survive, and it won't be hard for you to find Yabulu."
He was disappointed, the beauty's voice also turned into a male voice, which he had been dreaming about for several days, turned out to be a man all along.He wanted to cry but had no tears, his heart wept blood, and he murmured: "How could you lie to me..."
The national teacher turned a deaf ear to it, and there was a tomb door ahead of the tomb passage. The tomb door was a thick boulder, and it took everyone to work together to push it open.
After all, it was a tomb that was hundreds of years old, and the air underneath was very cloudy, and even in the midsummer season, people were shivering from the cold.Lian Deng was worried that Tan Nu would not be able to bear it, so she whispered: "You can't go any further, I'll go find the bones, you stay here and wait for me."
Tannu grabbed her tightly, and the national teacher smiled, "Are you afraid? Lian Deng is right, your body can't stand the cold, so it's better to stay here." Turning around, he appointed two people and asked them to Accompany her here to guard the entrance.
They continued to move forward, the torches were shining on the road ahead, and the ground was mottled with greenery.Look carefully, it turns out that the corridor is full of coins. After years of corrosion, the copper coins have a thick layer of green moss.
Shi Pantuo was still muttering, the fire that the national teacher had been accumulating for a few days was about to erupt, and the end of the corridor was the front room, he kicked Shi Pantuo on the buttocks, "Go in and investigate, if you talk too much, I will kill you!"
Shi Pantuo had no choice but to shrink back into the cave with a torch in his hand.
The front room is equivalent to the hall of a family house, and it is luxuriously arranged. There are a large number of colorful murals painted on the curtain wall, and the four corners of the tomb are filled with burial objects and sacrificial ritual vessels.However, Shi Pantuo found that they did not come here for the funerary objects. Although Hui Hui was not a very rich country, the nobles lived a life ten thousand times better than the common people.You can't enjoy it while you're alive, and you have to take it underground when you die, so the burial of returning home is much more solemn than other Western Region countries.They dismissed the gold and silver utensils that were placed everywhere, and they seemed to be used to seeing big scenes.The beauty only urged him to go into the back room, Shi Pantuo looked back at him, "Abulu is just ahead, don't cover your mouth and nose, be careful of poisoning."
He raised his chin, "You don't need to worry about it, just lead the way."
Shi Pantuo had no choice but to walk forward by touching the wall of the tomb, passing a white marble gate, and in front of him was the tomb room where the coffin was placed.The back room is more ornate than the front room. The sun, moon and stars are painted on the high-arched tomb roof. The corners of the wall are filled with music, chess, calligraphy, paintings and daily necessities. Everything is as usual, but the coffin of the tomb owner looks very strange.
This tomb is not the tomb of a single person. The Hui nobleman brought seven martyrs with him before leaving. The seven coffins surrounded the golden coffin in the middle like stars and moons. A thick stalk protruded from the inside and gathered to feed the huge strange thing that resembled a human head on top.
Lian Deng was taken aback, the stench of the rotting corpse almost made her vomit, even the national teacher couldn't help it, and raised his sleeve to cover his nose.She had the courage to look out from behind him, the thing only looked like a human head, but in fact it should be a huge fungus, the roots underneath were similar to ginseng, but more than a hundred times bigger than ginseng.
That is the bet!She was happy, and planned to go to visit, but was stopped by Shipantuo, "It is highly poisonous and hurts people, so you can't touch it directly. The medicinal properties will disappear after the rhizome leaves the coffin and soil."
The people in the Jingu Palace did not need to be instructed by the national teacher. The rope was thrown back and forth several times, and the part exposed outside the coffin was tied tightly. More than a dozen people gathered together and dragged the coffin in one direction, dragging the coffin. With a soft sound, the poison was finally pulled out by the roots.
Lian Deng has never seen such a disgusting thing, its rhizome pierced through the bones, and its thin and transparent whiskers squirmed under the firelight, like thousands of gnatflies.Everyone took two steps back, a little at a loss, but Shi Pantuo stepped forward to burn it with a torch, and when he touched it, a large area was immediately scorched black, he is not afraid of fire.
After the roots were burnt, Shipantuo clapped his hands happily, "My big poisonous ginseng is indeed a good thing. If I sell it in the Central Plains, I don't know how many houses I can buy!" Picking it up and handing it to Lian Deng, he said with a smile, "Here, it's yours."
Lian Deng shook her head, knelt down and picked a leg bone and broke it, raised her hand and said: "This is what I want, if you don't bet on it, it will be yours, as the reward for these few days."
So to a large extent, everyone got what they deserved, and Shipantuo suddenly felt less sad. Losing love and getting money, the business is not considered a loss.The Sogdians were like this, they would never miss a chance to make a fortune, and the people who came with them took the opportunity to grab a few handfuls of jewels, pocketed them in their arms, and left happily.
Lian Deng didn't pay much attention to money, and walked back with the severed bone in his hand. After walking two steps, he found that the national teacher was gone. He hurriedly looked around and saw a light in the ear room. Pre-trance.
The lotus lamp followed his line of sight, and there was a iron coupon of Dan Shu in the box, written on the red iron with gold leaf and cinnabar, densely packed with two kinds of characters, one is Chinese, and the other is probably similar to Khitan or Uyghur. .Without knowing it, she looked up at him, and his face showed an expression she had never seen before, a little crazy, as if she had been yearning for it for a long time and couldn't restrain her urgency.
He took two steps forward, stretched out his hand carefully and piously, touched the corner, and immediately retracted as if he was burned, his face full of astonishment.
Lian Deng tilted her head to look at him, "Lin Yuan, what are you doing?"
He turned around and put his hands on her shoulders, "Lian Deng, I want that."
She nodded, "The owner of the tomb has been dead for hundreds of years, you can take it if you want."
But she didn't understand, she didn't open her eyes, all she saw was a piece of red iron.From his point of view, the iron coupon was burning with raging fire, and his pure yang blood would boost its power, if he dared to touch it, he would be burned to ashes.
So now it's time for her to reciprocate. He took her hand and stroked the skin on her wrist. At some point, a cut was made, and blood flowed out.She was terrified but obedient, he didn't look at her, didn't speak, just pressed the wound on the edge of the iron coupon with all his strength.She began to tremble all over, and he knew she was in pain, and the iron stick would suck her blood, and if he was unlucky, it might drain her dry.He was inexplicably sad, but he couldn't look back.It took so much effort to bring her here, and now what he longed for is in front of him, and he can't give up just because of the kindness of a woman for a while.
His master once told him the method, "You need a person with pure yin blood, and feed it willingly. Even the moment before death, you can't carry any resentment."
He stroked her face, bowed his head and kissed her, "Lian Deng, I love you." I don't know if these words are comforting to her, if she will die, I hope she won't hate him.
Lian Deng is a silly girl who is willing to sacrifice for her Mrs. Yazhai at any time.She thought dazedly, Aibi liked it again, it was strange that he said he loves her, it turns out that the national teacher can also love.
She smiled reluctantly, cold sweat streaming down her temples, she was a little ashamed, she must be ugly now.
The dizziness was severe and his face was doubled.She turned her head to look at the iron coupon, like a rising tide, all her blood had actually been poured into it.The red iron slowly became dull, covered a large area of writing, reached the end, and almost covered the corners... But she couldn't open her eyelids, and suddenly a huge wave hit her, and she fell into the boundless darkness.
When it was all over, he stood there with his sleeves hanging down.Looking down, she was pale.He raised his finger and pressed it on her neck, the arteries were only beating slightly.He put her down, took out the iron coupon of Danshu from the box, and laughed mockingly.Just now the flames were raging, but now they are just a lump of iron.
He stepped over her to the door of the ear room, and told Qiu Guan, "Push Tan Nu in when closing the door of the tomb, and let them have a companion."
Qiu Guan said yes, leading him back to the front room.
The soles of the shoes stepped on the endless copper coins, making a soft clicking sound.He walked very slowly, obviously he should be very satisfied, but he felt as if he had lost something, and his heart was in a state of turmoil.The lotus lamp stays here, and his hazy love also stays here. Is this really necessary?Step by step, he walked more and more heavily, suddenly stopped, grabbed a torch and walked back.He didn't know what fear was before, but now he felt scared.Running into the ear room, the distance of ten feet is so far, and I am so anxious to run.Fortunately, she was there, and he picked her up and held her tightly in his arms.Regardless of whether she can live or not, she should not be abandoned.
He took her out of the underground palace, and Tan Nu was shocked when he saw her, but didn't say a word.She is a smart person, no matter what happened in the tomb, the most important thing for her to do now is to keep silent.
Of course, the post station can't go back again. The people from the Jingu had already infiltrated Suiye City and arranged a place to stay in a corner of the city.There is no need to worry about the Sogdians leaking the news. They got benefits after participating, and the soles of their feet were oiled at dawn the next day.
Tan Nu didn't know who to blame, Lian Deng was lying there dying, she had no other choice but to cry.
In fact, the culprit is still her. If she hadn't been poisoned by Yabulu, the lotus lantern would not have entered the tomb, nor would it have become what it is now.She couldn't find out the reason for her injury, and her wound was bandaged up, but she couldn't forget how shocking it was at that time.
The national teacher didn't say anything, he should be very anxious, and asked someone to boil blood-enriching medicine to feed her himself.When he was desperate, he cut his wrist and asked her to drink blood, but she couldn't drink it, the blood flowed everywhere, he fainted from blood, staggered and fell down in front of her couch.
But he couldn't stay for too long after all, he still had things to do.After three days, the lotus lantern still hadn't improved, so he led the crowd to leave.
Looking at the unknown lotus lamp, Tan Nu almost shed tears.She had lost too much blood, and she was like a piece of paper with almost no weight.She is used to seeing her alive and kicking, busy taking care of them along the way, riding a horse and singing Red Fox is the happiest time for her.Now that she is so lifeless, what can she use to treat her?
Sometimes I feel that human relationships are as thin as paper, the national teacher is so good with her, and at most he only guarded her for three days, as expected, men are the most unreliable.Fortunately, with God's blessing, Lian Deng was very upbeat, persisted for a few days, and gradually regained consciousness.
She said: "The scourge has lived for thousands of years, I must be a monster."
But Tan Nu couldn't laugh, and took care of her more conscientiously.She leaned on her shoulder and sighed: "Fortunately, I have sisters." At the same time, she was worried about the poison on her body.Tan Nu said that she had been relieved a long time ago, and she was in a coma for seven days.
After her health improved, she began to plan how to enter the Ding Palace.Regarding the national teacher, she just feels disappointed, what is not yours is not yours after all, he will fly very high, she can't trap him.
Tan Nu was brooding about her injury, "How did you get the gash on your wrist? As long as it gets deeper, your hand will be useless."
She was very sad, but she didn't intend to tell Tan Nu the truth, she was still facing him, wanting to defend him.He vaguely covered it up, saying that it might have been accidentally scratched when picking a bet.Asked how she left the underground palace, Tan Nu said that the national teacher brought her out, and she felt a little comforted, at least he didn't abandon her, which is not bad.
She turned her head to see the wind blowing on the banana tree outside the window, the leaves were beating like waves.I don't know where he has gone now, or if he is still in Suiye City.He wants to deal with King Ding, but King Ding has great power, and there is no other way but to assassinate him.She promised to help him, and she could not go back on her promise.Besides, when he said he loved her, she might be a little silly and already believed it.
