Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After selling for a while, the pedestrians on the street gradually dispersed, and the old man quietly got into the gourd.
Fei Changfang saw it really and concluded that this old man was by no means an idle person.
He bought wine and meat, and respectfully greeted the old man.
The old man knew what he was coming and led him into the gourd together.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that Zhu Lan painted a building, magnificent, strange flowers and plants, just like the Qiong Pavilion of the Immortal Mountain, and there was no cave.
Later, Fei Changfang learned magic with the old man for more than ten days, and before leaving, the old man gave him a bamboo cane and rode it like flying.
When he returned to his hometown, his family thought he was dead, but more than ten years had passed.
Since then, Fei Changfang has been able to cure all diseases, drive away plagues, and bring people back to life.
This is called the heaven in the pot.
Wan Wan had read this allusion, but she didn't understand why Wang Dong mentioned it.
Wang Dong lowered the curtain and turned his head to look at Wan Wan's snow-white and crystalline jade face, without a trace of flaw, and the latter's cheeks turned crimson at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Wang Dong praised the little witch's acting skills again, and said slowly: "This story is spread in the market, and ordinary people just think that it is an interesting talk about the gods and monsters imagined by the ancients, and they just laugh about it." ”
Wan Wan blinked and asked, "Isn't it?" ”
"Yes and no, it's up to you how you interpret it." Wang Dong chose a comfortable position, lay down on his back, and unceremoniously rested his head on Wanwan's soft and elastic slender jade legs, his eyes half-open and half-closed, and the fragrance lingered in his nose.
Wan Wan was secretly annoyed in her heart, but her delicate face was infinitely shy, and she was timid and didn't dare to resist, and said softly: "What did Childe think?" ”
Wang Dong said: "This allusion actually contains the secret of the Immortal Dao, if you regard Fei Changfang as a person who cultivates the Heavenly Dao, you can understand why he is drunk!" If this piece of heaven and earth is likened to a gourd, each of us is trapped in this pot of heaven, it is difficult to get rid of the shackles, and we cannot get rid of it. ”
Wanwan's eyes glowed with a blurry luster, thoughtful.
"But Fei Changfang was lucky to meet the 'old man who sells medicine', this is his chance, this old man who sells medicine may refer to people, or it may be the key to Fei Changfang's detachment, in short, it is where his immortal fate is, and Fei Changfang also firmly grasped this immortal fate, broke through the last one, and jumped out of the sky in the pot.
Wanwan's beautiful eyes were confused, revealing a puzzled look: "What Gongzi said is too mysterious, and Wan'er can't understand it." ”
Wang Dong smiled, what he didn't say was that Fei Changfang jumped into the pot from the outside world, and then jumped out of the pot, and he was in the pot for more than ten days, and he had spent more than ten years in the world, how similar is this to his situation?
He came from outside the sky and entered the heavens of many pots, just to achieve the magnificence of the immortal path.
Wang Dong seemed to say to himself: "We are all people who cultivate the Tao of Heaven, the beginning is the starting point of everything, the changes in the appearance of all things are attributed to the beginning, and the beginning is both one and the Tao!" And the Great Luo Heaven is both supreme and infinite, encompassing the heavens, with no end and no beginning, who doesn't want to achieve the Origin Great Luo Heaven? ”
When the sun was setting in the west, and it was nearly dusk, Wang Dong and his party finally arrived outside the city.
Under the sunset, but seeing the steel guns at the head of the city, the armored soldiers patrolled back and forth, guarding the airtight, and the tense and murderous atmosphere of the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.
Feng Ge and Tie Yun glanced at each other, both dismounted and came to the front of the Wang EMU, bowed down and said, "Qi Qi National Teacher, the Lingcheng has arrived, and we have something important to report." ”
Wang Dong's calm voice came from inside the carriage: "Who are Fang Zetao's loyal henchmen?" ”
Feng Ge and Tie Yun showed a wry smile on their faces, knowing that this national teacher had already seen through the thoughts of the two, and since they had taken refuge in Wang Dong, the next process would inevitably be to "betray" the old master's ironcore.
Feng Ge sighed in his heart, knowing that it was impossible to turn back, he simply turned his heart sideways and came to the road one by one.
There are about 20,000 soldiers and horses in Jingling City, and the most courageous of them is the Black Flag Cavalry, but unfortunately the number is too small, not even 2,000 people.
Among the more than ten famous generals, there are about five people who are really willing to work for Fang Zetao, one is Fang Zetao's younger brother Fang Zeliu, the other is the right pioneer Fang Daoyuan, who is also a relative of the Fang clan, and the remaining three are completely Fang Zetao's cronies!
"Got it! Let's get into town! Wang Dong's tone was indifferent.
He never wanted to compete for the world, and the 20,000 soldiers and horses in Jingling would not make him have some waves, and the reason why he came here was just to intercept Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.
But if anyone dares to jump out and hinder him, there is only one word for 'chopping'.
Hundreds of cavalry roared across the border, rolling up dust and sand, and arrived at the bottom of the city in a blink of an eye, and an officer on the city wall had already seen Feng Ge and Tie Yun, and shouted: "It's Commander Feng, Commander Tie is back, hey!" What about the generals? ”
Feng Ge deliberately glanced at the carriage in the center and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm a little tired, hurry up and put down the city gate!" ”
The sergeants at the head of the city did not suspect him, they all thought that Fang Zetao was in the carriage, and hurriedly opened the city gate to welcome everyone in.
Feng Ge asked an officer why the guards of the city wall had suddenly strengthened several times, only to learn that there had been a spies reporting earlier, and the remnants of the Iron Cavalry Society, under the leadership of the three disciples of Qu Ao, had made some changes again, and they might attack Jingling in the near future!
Feng Ge, Tie Yun was anxious, walking along the street, only to see that the street was depressed, most of the shops were closed, and there were pedestrians in a hurry, a big war was coming, and people were panicked.
Suddenly, the sound of hooves shook, the long street paved with bluestone slabs buzzed and trembled, and a cavalry team of four or five hundred people turned around the corner in front of them, all dressed in black, with steel swords hanging from their waists, carrying quivers, sitting on horsebacks, their bodies were stable and unmoving, revealing their skillful and exquisite riding skills.
The leader was covered in black armor, with a cold face and bright eyes, it was Fang Daoyuan, the right vanguard, and next to him, he was dressed as a Confucian student, and it was Fang Zeliu who was a vassal and elegant.
"Feng Ge, Tie Yun! Whether the eldest brother is in the carriage or not, please come out quickly, the iron cavalry will resurrect, and he is about to attack Jingling, and he needs the eldest brother to command us to defend against the enemy! ”
Fang Zeliu glanced at it, and immediately screamed impatiently, looking extremely worried.
Feng Ge, Tie Yun's eyes flickered, a fierce color flashed, his hand pressed the steel knife on his waist, and when he was about to step forward, more than a dozen knights suddenly rushed out of the hundreds of cavalry behind them, sneering at the arrows towards the two, and several people used the steel knife as a hidden weapon to project it at the carriage, and shouted: "Feng Ge, Tie Yun has surrendered to the enemy, help the enemy kill the general, the right vanguard, the commander of the party should not be fooled, quickly release arrows to kill the rebels."
