Arriving in Xiangfan, you can see the famous Diaoyutai tower above the city wall.
One pillar of Yutai supports ten and a half years.
The plaque on the gate tower is written with the words "Gu Diao Central Plains".
Xu Fengnian ignored Wei Wei and Huang Toulang, got off the boat straight away, rode on a steed, and galloped towards the ghost city in the twilight, dismounted near the city gate, Jiang Ni seemed to really think that His Royal Highness was carrying a Taoist magic weapon, and jumped off The carriage trotted to Xu Fengnian's side, Xu Fengnian held back his smile, pointed at the top of the city with his Xiudong saber, squinted his eyes and said, "See, the number one defender in the world was there for ten years, and it's only now that he sits firmly Diaoyutai's statement. There are not many guys who can make Xu Xiao grit his teeth with hatred. The scholar of Western Chu who can truly understand the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period can be ranked in the top three. If it falls, the city and the Diaoyutai will not fall down, but unfortunately, no matter how strong Xiangfan is, it will not affect the overall situation of the world."
Jiang Ni bit her lip.
Xu Fengnian led the horse and walked slowly: "When the food in the city is exhausted, the horses will be eaten. When the horses are exhausted, the sparrows will dig the mice, and the sparrows will eat people after exhaustion."
Jiang Ni remained silent.
Xu Fengnian said softly: "A soldier knows he must die, and the defenders of the city fight to the last person. No one lives alone. This is the Spring and Autumn National War. These tragedies are unimaginable for the sharp-tongued generation in the Shangyin Academy. Xiangfan Xiongcheng, The height of the city is eighteen feet and six feet, the width of the bottom is nine feet, and the wall is eleven miles long. The place of manufacture, the supervisor and the name of the brick maker are printed on it. When laying bricks, a mixture of glutinous rice juice, sorghum juice, lime and tung oil is poured into the gaps, and the city is built with steamed earth. The general who is responsible for the Xiangfan city building project The master craftsman held a sharp awl, and if the awl penetrated an inch, he would kill the builders and build it together, so it was as solid as iron, and historians at that time called it cruel and cruel."
Xu Fengnian stopped, did not look at Jiang Ni's face, and said in a cold tone: "Back when Xu Xiao attacked the city, Wang Mingyang defended the city, and each prepared for the battle. All of them were demolished, and the wood, bricks and tiles were moved to the city. In order to prevent Xu Xiao from digging tunnels, a hundred wells were dug along the foot of the city in advance, and large clay pots covered with leather were placed in the wells, so that the deaf can listen to them. The 50,000 guards, and the 150,000 Xiangfan people are classified into three or six or nine grades. Monks, craftsmen, and rangers each perform their duties. The necessary supplies for guarding the city are divided into two categories: official and civilian. Patrol the city to prevent the spies from setting fire to the city. All the tricks have been exhausted, and Wang Mingyang has demonstrated what he has learned from a military strategist in the Shangyin Academy for ten years. Xu Xiao once said personally that if everyone in the Shangyin Academy is like this, it will It doesn’t matter if you want him to become a Jixia scholar.”
Xu Fengnian continued to move forward, "To attack the city, you must first cross the river and cross the moat. Then you can take over the city, and then you have to climb the city. The scene where arrows, boulders, rolling wood and kerosene are climbing up, the monks in the city invented the magic pestle during this battle, and the Ox-nosed Taoist created the furnace gold liquid that would rot when touched. After climbing the city, the street fighting, Xiangfan At that time, a large number of reckless and green forest heroes gathered, vowing to defend this important city for the three kingdoms of the Central Plains. It can be said that they share the same hatred. Three years is enough. The world only knows that Beiliang's army and horse battles are the best in the world, but they don't know that infantry and siege are not bad. During the Spring and Autumn Wars, they have been devastated. Only in Xiangfan, most of the elites were lost. Among them, there were 300 elites The acupoint master who drilled into the ground died. This attack and defense took ten years. As for who is right and who is wrong, God knows. But it was during these ten years that the feud between Xu Xiao, who will always be revenged all his life, and Jianghu was truly forged. .”
The moat is extremely wide, the suspension bridge on the river has not been put away, Xiangfan is strictly forbidden at night, but the suspension bridge has been laid flat all these years, and even the main gate has never been closed overnight. After Zhou Tian, who performed the good deed of saving the Nine Nethers and eradicating sins, did not close the gates of ghosts and let the ghosts leave Xiangfan, the capital of Feng. Legend has it that before leaving the city, Huang Zi Tianshi of Longhu Mountain personally went around the city to draw talismans, scripts and seals. Finally, there was a Taoist celestial talisman hanging on the top floor of Diaoyutai. When Xiangfan's wandering souls are gone, this talisman will burn out.
But the Tianfu book has been written for many years, but it has never disappeared. Undoubtedly, it has become a lingering haze in the hearts of hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangfan City.
Xu Fengnian led the horse, with two young Kui under his feet, and Jiang Ni with a complicated expression beside him. Xu Fengnian subconsciously glanced at the Diaoyutai on the top of the city. The moon and stars were scarce, and the city tower was a magnificent sight.
Xu Fengnian turned his head and said softly to the little clay figurine, "Don't be afraid."
Jiang Ni, with sweaty palms, bowed her head and hummed.
His Royal Highness could not see the people in the building when he looked up, but the people in the building could look down and see Xu Fengnian.
The people in the building are slender, wearing ordinary Taoist robes, hemp shoes on their feet, wooden hairpins in buns, and dust whisks in their hands. The top floor of Diaoyutai is a forbidden area, and there are several highly respected old Taoist priests stationed in Longhu Mountain. Even King Jing'an is not allowed to enter . When the Great Heavenly Master left the city, he clearly stated that no real person in the Tianshi's Mansion should set foot here.
If the little girl from Dongxi and the little monk from the north and south who went to the Tianshi Mansion to smash the scene, they would recognize this Taoist priest as the one who led them into the inner courtyard of the Tianshi Mansion. It was a trick of an arrogant yellow purple Taoist priest to personally introduce Mr. Bai Lian.
The surname of this little celestial master on Longhu Mountain is Qi, which has the same surname as Qi Xuanzhu, the great real person, and the same appearance as an ancestor ancestor of Longhu Mountain.
Holding a whisk in his hand, he was praised by the national teacher who is in charge of Taoism in the world, "The Grand Duke sits in Kunlun".
After he descended from Longhu Mountain, all kinds of legends snowballed, as if the whole world was praising him. But he was indifferent, because he didn't care about these things. To him, those great truths, things that most people couldn't understand, were not truths. In the world, brothers are on blind date, children are filial, and husband and wife are loving, that is the truth. Those university questions are just the knowledge that is competed in the pile of books and classics, and they are not knowledge. Old farmers work hard, hawkers bargain, and merchants chase profits day and night. This is knowledge. He thinks that the roots of Taoism are shallow, so he does not seek the way of heaven, but only wants to use martial arts to help the world. He went down the mountain only for two things. One is to enter Xiangfan. Then we will go to Wudang to determine whether the young headmaster is really carrying the way of heaven on his shoulders. As for how to judge, it is very simple, the whisk in the hand can be used as a sword, and if it can be killed, it is a fake. If you can't kill it, it's true.
He turned around and looked at the celestial talisman connecting the sky and the earth with a red rope, and frowned.
The talisman is shaking.
Xu Fengnian narrowed his eyes and saw a strange woman walking out of the city gate.
Thirty-three thousand threads of troubles were picked out of her head.
Wearing a snow-white monk's robe, a white pot is bitten by a white snake on the wrist as a rope.
Bare feet, a pair of jade feet do not disturb the fine dust.
She walked briskly onto the drawbridge.
The ghostly aura outside the city gate of Xiangfan was as heavy as snow, but she was the only one who was like a Bodhisattva of Avalokitesvara, saving all living beings.
In the Diaoyutai, the talisman burned into ashes.
"Ten thousand ghosts leave the city."
The Taoist priest of Tianshi Mansion sighed: "Longhu Mountain lost. Lan Tuo Mountain won."
