Chapter 018: Heading South (First Update)
Not covered in dust.
But behold, the world was full of filth.
Although he is a Kunlun person, he is different from ordinary people, his demeanor is refined and pure.
A man is generally not described by the word pure, but in his He Zudao, it can.
It's too chaotic......
Clear-eyed people know that the Great Song Dynasty has entered the end of the road, and the current Mengyuan attack on the Great Song Dynasty can almost be said to be a clear carriage and horse, and the invasion of the bright light.
The reason why he was entangled in Xiangyang was because of Guo Jing, the former golden knife horse, who became a thorn in Meng Yuan's heart and had to be removed. In this case, even if He Zudao is far away in Kunlun in the Western Regions and not in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, he can see it.
"Disappointment!"
"What a disappointment!"
Carrying the guqin on his back, He Zudao turned to look at the Mongolian Tatar soldier who fell to the ground, and shook his head, very disappointed. This time, he went west out of Kunlun and went to Zhongnan, the reason why he came here was to find the Quanzhen Sect to test the sword.
It's a pity that the current Quanzhen Sect is not the Quanzhen Sect it used to be, and the chivalrous Quanzhen Sect has actually been destroyed.
It was only a short time to go up the mountain, and after he casually sent a few Taoist priests, He Zudao was finally disappointed in this Quanzhen Sect. As a fellow Daoist, seeing that the former Daomen faction had fallen into such a scene, He Zudao also had to sigh.
It's a pity that in the face of the general trend of the world, Kunlun can only protect itself, and there is no good result in the confrontation between the upper and lower sects like Quanzhen.
The result of the Quanzhen Sect reminded He Zudao of Huashan Chunyang in the Tang Dynasty.
The same is true of that sect.
Although the approach of this sect is admirable, it does not make He Zudao feel worthwhile.
In his eyes, Taoist people should come out of the dust and travel the world.
However, the teachings of the two sides are different, which is also helpless.
The so-called Tao is different, and it is not conspiratory.
This is especially true of such religious sects.
It's just that the original Zhongshentong King Chongyang has obtained the inheritance of pure yang. It's a pity that although Zhongshentong has obtained the spirit of pure yang, he has not obtained the essence of pure yang's Huang Lao's technique.
It is extremely difficult to reverse the general trend simply as a person in the rivers and lakes.
If there is no cooperation from the court, if you want to reverse it, it is no wonder that you will ascend to the sky.
This was the case with the original Shentong anti-Jin, and the same is true for the current Quanzhen Sect.
Although Kunlun is also a Taoist, it is a different mentality.
Although it will meddle in some things in the rivers and lakes, the Kunlun faction will definitely not invest all its strength.
Patting the dust on his robe, He Zudao walked slowly towards the donkey tied to the tree in the corner.
The bell sounds.
He Zudao leaned on the donkey's back, and walked leisurely towards the fork in the road ahead aimlessly, step by step. It was as if he was walking towards a place called Jianghu step by step.
"Drive!"
Just as He Zudao was leaning on the donkey, closing his eyes and recuperating, the sound of horses' hooves came from the end of the road.
The horses are fast.
It's a good horse.
Suddenly opened his eyes, He Zudao on the donkey's back turned his head and looked behind him.
I saw a blood-red horse galloping towards him, and on the back of the horse sat a Huafa Taoist priest, handsome and elegant, and was galloping on a horse. Not only that, but there is not only a Taoist priest on horseback. Behind it sat a young girl, who was pouring wine in the wind with a sword in one hand and a wine gourd in the other.
The wine is poured and sparkles in the sun.
Brilliant and dazzling brilliance. The spilled wine wet the girl's collar a lot, and the action was extremely chic.
As if sensing He Zudao's gaze, the girl looked sideways slightly on the horse's back and smiled lightly. A beautiful dimple appeared at the corner of his mouth, and at the same time, he raised the wine gourd and made a toasting motion, leaving a series of laughter like silver bells.
The girl's smile and movements. and the light dancing hair, all of which made He Zudao stunned.
However, what shocked He Zudao the most was not the girl's smile, but the little girl in red between the Huafa Taoist priest and the girl, although the horse and the donkey staggered past in the blink of an eye, but He Zudao still saw the scene in front of him clearly.
The little girl looks like she is only six or seven years old, in the middle of the two, although there is wind interference, He Zudao can still hear clearly, the little girl is opening her hands and begging the girl for something, listening to the tone and movements as if she wants to drink?
What's going on?
The two sides staggered.
Soon, the little red horse disappeared from He Zudao's line of sight.
But in He Zudao's mind, this time the wrong body passed by, but it didn't end there.
Look back at the way you came.
That is exactly the direction of the Quanzhen Sect of the South of the South.
Could it be that this white-haired Taoist priest is a real person? And the girl ......
Inexplicably, He Zudao actually remembered the word elopement.
Although he didn't like this idea in his heart very much, the little girl between the two just now couldn't help but guess like this. Because in the gaze that had just swept by, He Zudao keenly found that the little girl and the girl had a slight resemblance in their eyebrows.
Aren't all real people abstinent?
How......
Shaking his head, he recalled again in his mind that the inexplicable eyes of the Huafa Taoist priest who looked at him just now reminded He Zudao of the women who set foot in the Western Regions more than ten years ago.
Especially the woman in the robe.
"Forget it!"
"Don't think about it anymore!"
With a mutter, He Zudao left this matter behind him, after all, what he needed to do next was not this, but to be entrusted to Shaolin to spread the word. This time, I came to Zhongnan by the way, but I just wanted to meet my fellow practitioners.
Otherwise, he would not be willing to go out of the Western Regions.
……
"Wow!"
After burping, Guo Xiang put the wine gourd back on his waist and said loudly: "Big brother, that Taoist priest just now was so leisurely!" ”
The little girl Yang Nianxi couldn't help but wrinkle her nose because of her aunt's wine burp, and her little face was full of dissatisfaction.
I don't know if it's the smell of wine that Lu Dao is dissatisfied with, or if he hasn't drunk wine just now.
“……”
Yue Yuan in front did not reply, but remained quiet.
The mistake just now, the Taoist priest's approach, couldn't help but remind Yue Yuan of that he was so leisurely at the beginning. It's a pity that after experiencing so many things, Yue Yuan found that he wanted to be so leisurely again. is unlikely.
But this doesn't mean that Yue Yuan doesn't sigh.
"Take it easy, smile proudly!"
"This is what all Jianghu people yearn for, and the Taoist priest is undoubtedly one step closer to this!"
After a while, Yue Yuan spoke up and said, "Your eldest brother and I were like this at the beginning, but now I can't go back......
"The rivers and lakes kill both people and themselves!"
"As the saying goes, if you are stabbed in the rivers and lakes, and you want to be stabbed a second time, this is those of us who wander the rivers and lakes!"
"Big brother, I don't understand!"
"It's good if you don't understand! Got it. It's not good! ”
The conversation between the two was left in the air, except for the sound of horses' hooves that startled countless birds in the woods, but there was no trace left.
"Childe! Son! I don't understand the past! ”
The little girl reached out and pulled Yue Yuan's hair left behind, and also expressed her opinion, indicating that she could not be ignored.
"You're going to call the master!"
Guo Xiang corrected her little niece's words, although she usually does it herself, but in terms of master and apprentice, Guo Xiang still thinks it is better to be a little more serious.
"Master Childe!"
The little girl is really face-saving, but this title sounds a little weird.
That's it. One big and two small people just talked to each other casually, and rode away on the little red horse as they spoke.
Meanwhile.
Xiangyang.
Guo Mansion.
With a city, it has fought against the Mengyuan army for decades.
This is not only the ability of Guo Jing and Huang Rong and his wife, but also the help of people in the rivers and lakes, as well as the help of patriotic people.
Even if it's to defend the city. War is war after all, and it consumes money and food.
"I don't know when this attack will be ......"
"It's impossible to counterattack!"
Withdrawing his gaze from the map, Guo Jing's tone was a little low.
A few years ago, Xiangyang could even gather people to counterattack Meng Yuan's camp. But not anymore. Once the army out of the city was known to Meng Yuan, what awaited was encirclement and suppression. What the current Mongolian Great Khan Kublai Khan wanted to do, Guo Jing knew very clearly.
The other party is consuming Xiangyang's vitality.
"Brother Jing......"
Huang Rong on the side saw this. couldn't help but stepped forward and tied up the slightly gray hair on Guo Jing's sideburns with pity.
"That's right!"
"How's our money?"
As if remembering something, Guo Jing asked again.
Now, even with the help of fellow Taoists and patriots, it is still extremely nervous for Xiangyang. In particular, the court has recently slowly reduced its support for Xiangyang, and the money and food have been tilted towards other military forces.
Guo Jing naturally felt this.
If Meng Yuan really launched an all-out attack with great fanfare, Guo Jing knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to hold Xiangyang. You must know that at present, Tubo in the southwest of Dali in the south has been wiped out, and the Great Song Dynasty has basically become a piece of fat in the eyes of Meng Yuan.
How to eat, where to eat, the other party is free.
At the moment, Guo Jing knew that this was just Mongolia's last preparation.
"It's still ruthless!"
Huang Rong lowered her head and pondered, and then replied: "The good man of Shang Da gave away another batch!" ”
Good people of Shangda!
Guo Jing couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this name.
Over the years, I have received sponsorship from this person more or less every year, but I don't know who this person is and what he looks like.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong have never seen this person's appearance.
It's just that every time, these money and food were stored in the Yuelai Inn by the good man, and Guo Jing's people took them.
Intermittently, over the years, this has been a huge number.
The husband and wife had privately deduced that this man's wealth was probably rivaled by the wealth.
But no matter what, the other party's attitude towards the country and the people is self-evident.
This has also become a secret that cannot be explained in the hearts of the two. (To be continued......)
