Section 396 The Aspirations of the World
Even though it is a cold winter, the Lingnan province of Guangzhou is as warm as spring and the trees are lush and green. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe streets of Guangzhou Mansion are lined with shops and pedestrians, cars and horses. In the Tang Dynasty that is now full of beacons, this place makes people feel like a paradise.
On Xiguan Street in the center of the city, a Liu Ji steamed bun shop is booming, and diners are packed. The proprietress Fu stood in front of the steaming steamer and shouted loudly, while the boss Liu Chong was responsible for delivering the buns to each table and accepting the guests' silver taels at the same time.
At the window on the second floor of the liquor store opposite Liu Kee's steamed bun shop, two drinkers kept looking at the Liu Kee steamed bun shop across the street. Although the costumes of the two are in the style of the Central Plains, their hairstyles are very different from those of the Central Plains. One of the young men had black hair like a waterfall and a long sword scar on his right cheek, and his expression was so indescribable majesty that he did not dare to look at him.
Although the man sitting opposite him was dressed as a Tang man, there were rare traces of a steppe man. This person couldn't speak, so he could only write with a pen on a piece of rice paper between the two, "General, you have been sitting on this floor for thirteen days in a row, and your parents are close at hand, why don't you go down to see each other?"
Liu Yu looked at his busy parents in the shop on the opposite street, his eyes softened, "Fang is in chaos today, I am determined to help Sheji, it is difficult to bind this place for a long time, and I will eventually go north with you." If I meet the second elder at this time, I am afraid that it will only be sentimental, and I hope that they will live happily and freely, and I will feel at ease. ”
Xiao Dada stared at his eyes closely, and then wrote: "When the general entered the Central Plains, he did not bring a single army and horses, I don't know how he will influence the general trend of the world?"
Liu Yu sighed: "The lives of the army have been ruined, and the food and money have been consumed a lot, and the people of the Central Plains have already suffered great disasters, and I am afraid they will not be able to withstand more destruction." I want to pull up such a force, the number of people is not too many, but it can behead the enemy unconsciously, and stop the million army from outside the Xiongguan. ”
Xiao Heda frowned when he heard this, and wrote: "If you want to do this, I'm afraid it's too difficult, where can I find such a person?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly and spit out eight words, "Unify the martial arts, for my use." ”
Xiao Heda was dumbfounded for a moment, and wrote: "It is said that there are many heroes in the Central Plains martial arts, although the generals are strong in martial arts, but I am afraid they are not top figures, and it is probably impossible to make these people convinc." ”
"So I'm going to find a place to devote myself to martial arts for three years. ”
"What place?" Xiao asked reluctantly.
"It is said that in the palace of Chang'an, there is a place called Jiwu Pavilion, and there are 3,000 volumes of martial arts in the world. And according to the news we heard along the way, Li Jing is likely to be taken to Da Nei by King Kui, and I can take the opportunity to find her. ”
Xiao Heda was anxious when he heard this, and his pen flew like a dragon, "The general is going to the Da Nei Palace, but I don't have martial arts and can't follow along, so what should I do?"
He is willing to follow Liu Yu to the Central Plains, but he is ready to do something big, instead of being idle every day and just shopping.
Liu Yu took out a stack of silver tickets and a mandarin character printed iron plate from his bosom and pushed them in front of him, "I'll go to Chang'an to enter the Jiwu Pavilion, and you go to Luoyang to build a hall for me." ”
"What's the name of the hall?"
"Sword Gate!"
After a while, the two of them settled the bill and went downstairs, and rode away to the north.
The two walked north for nine days, and finally said goodbye on the bank of the Yellow River, one went west to Chang'an, and the other east went to Luoyang.
Chang'an City, surrounded by seven waters, even in the war season, still gathers the most prosperous scenery in the entire Tang Dynasty, the market is full of people, the official road is extremely wide, and it can accommodate twenty carriages galloping side by side. It's just that most of the people who are at ease in Chang'an City are the children of nobles in gorgeous costumes, and these people are riding horses and driving chariots on the official road, which frightens the ordinary people on the side of the road to dodge.
When the moon is full, it is lost, and when it is full, these dignitaries and nobles of the Tang Dynasty ride on the heads of ordinary people all day long, but they don't know that the end of their own is quietly coming. Under such a corrupt situation, the collapse of the Tang Dynasty is only a matter of time, and the prosperity of Chang'an City will surely disappear with the decline of this dynasty.
Liu Yu had no intention of nostalgia for the glory scene in front of him, he passed through the wine streets and alleys, and heard the singing of the women in the green mansion from the roadside fence. He tried to find Li Jing from the long sea of people, but a day passed, and he found nothing.
That night, he entered the palace. I saw that this palace was not so much a palace as a city, and there were tens of thousands of palace houses alone. From these many houses and palaces, it was not easy for him to find the world-famous Jiwu Pavilion.
The palace was heavily guarded, and at night there were more guards patrolling than during the day. These people wandered around with lanterns, refusing to pass a single corner. However, this was not a difficult task for him, and he used his light body to run between the walls and houses of the palace.
He first went to the boundary of Xingqing Palace, which was originally the residence of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji when he was the vassal king, and after Li Longji ascended the throne, it was convenient to build a thousand palaces here, and he lived here with his concubine Yang Yuhuan. After the Anshi Rebellion, Xingqing Palace gradually faded its prominent status and became the residence of the empress dowagers of previous dynasties. It is because there are many women in this place, and even though it is night, it is difficult to hide the smell of fat powder in the air.
He thought that the world-famous Jiwu Pavilion would definitely not fall in this gentle fat powder township, so he turned around and looked elsewhere. He leaped between the eaves and roof tiles, but after a while, he came to a large palace city, and the main hall had several gilded characters on the main hall.
This Taiji Palace is the palace of the Sui and Tang dynasties, originally called Daxing Palace, changed to the current name when Tang Ruizong, there are palaces, pavilions, pavilions, pavilions thirty or forty, plus the East Palace still has more than 20 palaces and palaces. Outside the north wall of Taiji Palace is the West Inner Garden, the north of the Inner Garden is the Forbidden Garden, and the east and west sides are the East Palace and the Yeting Palace where the prince lives.
He searched here for a long time, and he still didn't find the whereabouts of the Jiwu Pavilion until the third watch, so he turned around and came to Daming Palace in the second half of the night. This Daming Palace is the place where the emperor of the dynasty is located, the main hall is the Hanyuan Palace, there is the Xuanzheng Hall in the north of the Hanyuan Palace, the Xuanzheng Palace has the Chinese book, the two provinces under the door, and the Hongwen and the history of the two halls.
He happened to catch a glimpse of an inconspicuous old building behind the Hongwen Pavilion, so after dodging a patrol of people, he flew and jumped over, only to see the handwriting on the plaque before the moonlight went downstairs, and only after taking a closer look did he recognize the three big characters of "Jiwu Pavilion". He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, flew upstairs, and saw that the window was closed, so he broke the bolt with his internal strength and jumped in.
He took out the fire fold from his bosom and lit the candles that had been prepared, and the rows of bookshelves under the firelight flickered and dimmed. A few inches of dust had accumulated on the shelves, and it was clear that the place had not been cleaned for a long time. He took a book from the shelf, blew off the dust on the cover, and the words "Tang family bullet legs" came into view.
At this moment the shouting of the guards came from outside the window, and he was vigilant, hurriedly blew out the candles, and put his ear to the window to listen for a moment. When there was no movement, he took the strange head out of the skin pouch around his waist and placed it on the windowsill to keep a sentry. The monster smirked, then turned his head and stared hard at the moon in the sky through the crack in the window.
At the same time, he himself went into a windowless room with a book in his hand, lit a candle, and read by the candlelight. The paper of the book is yellowed and slightly brittle, and it looks old. He flipped through the pages and read them, comprehending the subtlety of the Tang family's legs. After reading a few sections, I couldn't help but follow the moves in the book to rehearse between the narrow shelves. Time passed quickly, and by the time he turned the last page, it was already dawn.
