the enlightener says

The villagers respected him as Mr., and they were willing to let the children go to his house to play more, saying that it would give them a little more smell of books, and he also took advantage of the opportunity to teach the children the ability to read and judge sentences.

And all this made the villagers respect him even more.Because of his reputation, the county magistrate once made a special trip to visit him, and his attitude was respectful, like a good student who is studying.

And when he died of illness, many people could only look sad and sigh when they missed this young and gentle "Mr."

Qin Ke slowly approached the small tomb of Zhuge Wolong, the stele was still silent, as peaceful and peaceful as when he went up the mountain countless times.It's just that because of the mountain-eating ants, there is now a big hole in the tomb, like an open mouth, facing the mountain wind, there are a few scary cries.

"Master." Qin Ke stroked the tombstone, and then walked into the tomb. The log coffin was almost the same as when it was buried a year ago, but there was a thick layer of dust on it, facing the moonlight. She looked a little pale.

Qin Ke reached out and wiped it with his sleeve, and found that he couldn't finish it, so he didn't continue, but lay on the coffin lid, and said quietly: "What do you think I should do?"

No one answered him, the mountain wind still poured into the tomb, and the cry seemed to be ringing in his ears.

After a long time, Qin Ke stood up, stared at the coffin, and closed his lips tightly.He didn't know when he clenched his fists, and his knuckles turned white because of the force, as if he had made a difficult decision. Then, he took a deep breath and took out the prepared bag from the bag he was carrying. The eagle pick aimed at the iron nails on the coffin, and pressed down hard at an angle.

The thick and long iron nails were slowly pulled out of the coffin board by this force, and the hoarse voice seemed to be uneasy in Qin Ke's heart, repeated repeatedly in the tomb.

It wasn't until the iron nail came out completely and fell to the ground that the sound disappeared invisible.

Qin Ke heard his violent heartbeat. He knew that he had done something that he shouldn't have done, but in order to prove one thing, he had to do it.

As he pressed down again, another iron nail creaked and creaked.

When all the iron nails were pulled out, Qin Ke's body was obviously very strong, but at this moment he felt exhausted.

He looked at the coffin board, hesitatingly stretched out his hand.

Do you really want to push it away?What if Zhuge Wanling lied to him?What would Master look like if he was still lying there?

He thought of those dead people who died on the roadside during the famine that year. The blood in their bodies had stopped flowing long ago, and their shrunken skin was covered with dark brown spots. The stench of corruption was released from the inside out, and the empty space Pale maggots burrowed from the eye sockets.

If the master is still lying in it, it should be like this.

Qin Ke suddenly felt a little fearful in his heart, obviously he was only short of this step, but he didn't know whether he should step on that step again.

After a long stalemate, Qin Ke heard a prolonged "cuckoo" sound from the tomb, and finally sighed, and did not continue to open the coffin board.

The cooing noise was of course not from anything in particular, but because he was hungry.

Speaking of which, he hadn't eaten for a day and a night. When he came back from King Ye's tomb, he slept for a whole day without a drop of water. Tianlei, although it is said that mind power is born in the brain, but it still comes from the human body. Under such intense consumption, his stomach naturally began to protest.

After thinking for a while, he sat at the entrance of the tomb and looked at the bright moon hanging in the sky. He reached out his hand into the bag, trying to find out the steamed bread and beef that Uncle Ji had prepared for him that morning, so he could fill his stomach first.

However, I didn't expect that apart from touching the round corn head, there was a cold, long strip of things in the tentacles.

He stretched out his hand and looked in surprise at the little black snake in his hand that was no wider than his thumb and less than half a foot long. With a flick of his hand, he threw the little black snake to the ground.

When did it get into its own baggage?Qin Ke looked at the little black snake who fell to the ground but didn't seem to be very afraid of people. Instead, he looked at him innocently on the spot, and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he thought of something, and suddenly opened his bag in a hurry, only to find that the beef inside, which was not considered much, had been reduced by half, and even the cornbread had several gaps.

"You!" Qin Ke's eyes widened and he said angrily, "You actually ate my food!"

The little black snake raised its head on the ground, as if wondering what "stealing" meant. After shaking, he opened his mouth, revealing his toothless mouth, and let out a short cry like a mouse squeak.

Only then did Qin Ke notice that this "little black snake" didn't have snake-like fangs, and there wasn't even a bulge in its bright red mouth.And its body is not as smooth as a snake with nothing growing on it, but has four tiny feet.

Apart from its slightly elongated body and tail, it looks like a gecko.

Qin Ke stared and thought about what kind of lizard's distant relative this guy was, but after thinking for a while, he realized that he had no research on lizards at all, so he could only sigh.

"When you come here, don't you also want to go to the 'Road to Heaven'?" Qin Ke said.

The little lizard tilted its head, as if it understood something, its eyes looked in one direction.

Qin Ke turned his head and took a look. There was a collapsed cave, through which they walked out from Shenlong.

Qin Ke bent down, inexplicably feeling that the little lizard was cute: "Don't go. You are so small, you will be eaten by those snakes and ants if you go. And you don't even have teeth, how can you go?" Eat the body left by Shenlong?"

The little lizard blinked its round eyes and let out a squeak.

"It's so small." Qin Ke sighed, inexplicably, he didn't hate this little lizard that robbed him of his dinner. After thinking about it, he took out the meat that was as thin as a cicada's wing from the remaining half of the beef in the package. A piece of it was thrown away gently.

The little lizard is very small, but its speed is not slow, and his short four legs can directly prop up the ground at this time, driving his body to move, catching the piece of beef in the air, and biting a few times in his mouth. Next, he swallowed it in one gulp.

Qin Ke picked up the bitten cornbread, took a bite and chewed carefully, then picked out a piece of beef and threw it into his mouth.There is a saying that food is the most important thing for the people. For a small person like him, if he can eat a mouthful of beef with corn bread, why should he think so much?

But when he lowered his head, he saw that little lizard was still lying there quietly, with its head raised, and its two big round eyes were not an inch away from his hand.

Chapter 49 is really empty

Qin Ke looked at it, then at the cornbread in his hand, and said, "Don't look at me, this is mine."

I don't know whether the little lizard understood it or not, but he still looked at the cornbread in Qin Ke's hand, and refused to leave in a daze.

Qin Ke had been watched for a long time, and he couldn't stand it anymore. Although he was very hungry, he still broke off a small piece of cornbread and said to him seriously: "The last point, just this point."

For some reason, Qin Ke always felt that this little lizard understood what he said.He thought for a while, and then said, "Go over there to eat." After he finished speaking, he waved his hand lightly, and the small piece of cornbread flew across the night sky and fell to the outside of the tomb.

The little lizard seemed to be stunned, trying to understand Qin Ke's words, but soon, he came to his senses and started running on all fours, disappearing almost instantly.

Looking at the little lizard disappearing into the grass, Qin Ke felt a little lost. He felt that he might have given it too little cornbread. It is not easy for such a small lizard to survive in this mountain, just like they are not even dusty. People who don't count.

When he sat down, he said to himself countless times: Don't worry, what does those things have to do with you? Even if the master is really not dead, a person like him will shine his own light somewhere, Just like Zhuge Wanling.And you are afraid of everything, you are afraid of pain, hunger, war, death, and even more of things that are far beyond what you can bear.

It's just that when he said that, he didn't feel relaxed and happy in his heart. Instead, he felt as if he had fallen into a deep pool, and he sank before he could hold his breath.

Qin Ke looked at the master's coffin board from which the iron ingot had been pulled out, remained silent, and slowly lowered his mouth, continuing to chew on his rough cornbread.

At least there is beef.

That's right.

And beef.

But the creaking sound sounded again, and he turned his head, only to find that the little lizard that should have left had returned at some point.Under the moonlight, he tried his best to raise his head and looked at him, as if expecting something.

Qin Ke couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Why are you back again?" Looking at the cornbread in his hand, he said helplessly, "I can't give it anymore, you have eaten half of my beef, you said you are so young and you can do it so well." Eat, this is not good."

The little lizard shook his head in doubt, probably unable to understand the sentence, he opened his mouth and squeaked non-stop.

Qin Ke wanted to ignore it, and quickly finished the remaining cornbread and beef. Although the small lizard was small in size, its cry was very clear in the night sky. He was a little annoyed, and looked at it , Said: "What are you doing? Are you following me? Take advantage of me."

Regardless of the little lizard, it still called.

Qin Ke finally couldn't bear it anymore. He was trying to calm down and think about things, but he was disturbed by a small lizard.For this situation, he was a little baffled, but he felt that he was accompanied by something inexplicably at this time, and he felt a little more at ease.

Qin Ke hesitated for a while, stretched out his hand, broke off a bigger piece from the nest, and slowly handed it over: "This is the real last piece, you should leave as soon as you finish eating."

The little lizard stopped crying, looked at the cornbread in Qin Ke's hand, jumped up, and jumped onto his shoulder in the blink of an eye.

Qin Ke was shocked, thinking that the little lizard was going to rush up to bite him, and he fell down on the dusty floor of the tomb, reaching out his hand to grab this little thing that would avenge him and throw him to death.

But halfway through his hand, he suddenly froze.

The little lizard didn't bite him, on the contrary, he even lay down on his neck in a very docile posture.As its eyes slowly closed, it fell asleep just like that.

Qin Ke stared blankly for a long time, not knowing what was going on, so he patted his buttocks and stood up.The little lizard's feet were firmly attached to his shoulders, and it didn't fall down, but swayed along with his shoulders.

Shocked, Qin Ke stuffed the cornbread into his mouth, chewed it a few times before he calmed down, and said vaguely with food in his mouth, "Are you...relying on me?"

The little lizard turned a deaf ear and just slept peacefully.

Qin Ke looked up at the sky and starry sky helplessly, and muttered, "What's the matter? It's even been cheated by a gecko."

As if hearing the word "gecko", the little lizard flicked its tail in dissatisfaction, and patted his neck lightly.

"Say you're not happy anymore." Qin Ke glared, "It's you who depend on me, not I who depend on you."

The little lizard called softly, but it seemed to be really sleepy, so the sound was extremely lazy.

But Qin Ke was inexplicably happy. At least for now, he can be sure that this little lizard can really understand what he said. Although...it has its own way, it is still a kid who can talk about annoying things, isn't it? what?

And no matter what he said to it, even if he poured out all the fear and panic in his heart, he couldn't tell others about his embarrassing things about him.

"Wait. Are you sure you can't speak?" Qin Ke hesitated.

The little lizard was already sound asleep and didn't even bother to move.

"I think so, I've never heard of a gecko that can speak human language." Qin Ke hummed softly, completely unaware that a lizard that can understand human language is a shocking thing, "Look at your size, It is estimated that they will be eaten on the mountain, otherwise how can they steal my beef?"

After a pause, Qin Ke sighed: "It's the same as me, I can't do anything."

Qin Ke slowly finished his cornbread and beef, finally stood up again, and walked to the side of the coffin.

The iron nails were quietly displayed around the coffin, and Qin Ke's hand was placed on the coffin board.

"But I still don't like the feeling of being kept in the dark." The coffin board was slowly pushed away, Qin Ke closed his eyes tightly, feeling his own strength constantly moving forward, and pushed the coffin board halfway He drilled his head, sniffed, and confirmed that there was no stench of rotting corpses in the air.

Qin Ke took a deep breath and opened his eyes.

The coffin was empty, Zhuge Wanling didn't lie to him, the things that had been settled in his mind suddenly changed at this moment.

He didn't know whether he should be happy that his master was not dead or sad that he had been deceived by his master for so many years, and he slumped weakly on the side of the coffin, leaning his back against him.

"dong dong dong"

Qin Ke knocked on the coffin with the gesture of knocking on the door, and said, "Master, what do you think you lied to me for?"

After a while, he asked himself and answered: "That's right... If you don't do this, I will definitely stick to you like mud and refuse to let you go."

But he raised his voice again: "Then do you want me to leave here or stay here?"

He cried and laughed, laughed and cried.

After a long time, his firm voice came from the tomb: "Since you won't tell me, then I'll ask you."

A pure black cavalry galloped on the barren wasteland, and the sound of horseshoes sounded like war drums.And when the cavalry stopped, all the horses fell silent in just a few breaths, acting as if they were one.

"General." Ding Mo, who had a scar on his body, rode beside the leader Wang Xuanwei, and said in a low voice.

However, Wang Xuanwei stretched out his right hand and stopped Ding Mo's words. He looked at the sky, and saw a pure black crow quacking. When it swooped down from the sky, its sharp eyes and swift posture were like a goshawk bravery.

Wang Xuanwei's right hand stretched out and raised up, the crow fluttered its wings to stop the dive, just flapped its wings, and it easily stood on Wang Xuanwei's arm.

"A letter from Boling." Wang Xuanwei's face was somewhat tired. After so many days of chasing, he only slept for two hours a day, and even he couldn't take it anymore.In contrast, the horse under his crotch is in better condition because it is a two-horse transfer.

It's just that if it continues like this, it will inevitably show a decline.

Chapter 50 Giant Order

Mohist territory, Pengcheng.

As an important military town for the defense of Jing and Wu by the Mohists, it can be said that the Mohists spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. The construction work has continued to this day. The rammed earth wall of the whole city has reached a height of two feet, and the gate tower on it is also majestic. The silent hill, together with the surrounding defensive towers and high platforms, and sulfur, kerosene, and straw placed beside the crenels, are in a state of preparation for battle almost every day.

And Wang Xuanwei, who suggested the establishment of Pengcheng at the beginning, resisted all opinions and moved [-] people and countless livestock here from the interior. The surrounding land was still fertile and opened up countless farmlands, which not only solved part of the military food problem for the city. , It also added countless civilians to the city. These civilians can raise horses and transport food and grass for the army on weekdays, and can become an auxiliary defense force in wartime.

If Jing Wu wants to cross the north-south channel one day and invade the Mohist territory on a large scale, the first difficulty to overcome is Pengcheng, and such a city that is almost impregnable will naturally make Jing Wu pay a big price.

On weekdays, because it is located at the border, this place is much more rigorous than the hinterland of the Mohist family. Countless sergeants patrol and change shifts on time, walking in an orderly manner.

But these days, the atmosphere in the entire city is more tense than usual, just because everyone knows one thing: the Mohist military strategist Sun Boling, who can be said to be under one man and over ten thousand, is in the city right now. .

Two sergeants walked down the tower slowly following the patrol route, whispering to each other.

The shorter sergeant said: "Hey, do you think the military division is really born with a disability?"

"Is it fake? When the giant was parading, I was lucky enough to see it from afar. Everyone was standing on the high platform, except the military division. He was sitting in a wheelchair and never moved. If the military division He is a man with sound legs, so the giant should not ask him a crime of disrespect?" The tall man glanced at the short man contemptuously, but he was extremely proud of his ability to speculate in his heart.

"Oh...that's it." The short sergeant showed a look of reverence on his face, "It's really amazing to be able to become a military adviser of our Mohist army of more than 20 troops despite being born with a disability."

"Isn't that true? I heard that Junshi Sun and the General's division are from the same family. Think about it, General Wang's master was the No. This! And the person he can fall in love with, how can he be an ordinary person? I heard that although he is disabled, he can already write a thousand-character essay at the age of four, and he can recite dozens of classics at the age of eight. Under the general's master's sect, it has only been six years, and he has used soldiers like a god. Although he can't practice martial arts in this life, he has achieved a lot in Taoism just like the general." The tall sergeant smashed it mouth, "What kind of talent is this?"

"What achievement?"

"I don't know... No one has ever seen him make a move."

Just at this time, they felt a burly figure holding their shoulders from behind, they were suddenly startled, and turned their heads quickly, the eunuch looked at them with piercing eyes.

"Speak! You know what to say!" The prefect shouted in a low voice, "You don't know how to restrain yourself while patrolling, be careful to rot your tongue!"

The two of them fell silent immediately, the Mo family's military law was strict, although this was not a very serious mistake, but it was inevitable to receive more than ten or twenty lashes. Thinking of this, their expressions couldn't help but look a little ugly.

But the prefect obviously didn't care about them today. He waved his hand and motioned for them to continue patrolling. The two of them saw it as if they had received an amnesty. But the back view doesn't look very imposing, on the contrary, it looks as funny as two thieves who have stolen something.

The prefect also didn't care about the military appearance of these two men, he raised his head and looked at the tower on the city wall, his eyes flashed with worry.

I don't know what happened, why did the Mohist giant suddenly send someone over with a giant order?To know.There are several kinds of tokens used by the Mo family to send orders, which are divided into heaven and earth, black and yellow, and are matched with different levels according to the urgency of the matter. When these levels are lowered, the tokens will naturally be selected and issued on time to convey the truth. the meaning of.

However, Juzi Token is completely independent of these four kinds of tokens. This kind of token is only owned by Juzi. Dictation, starting at the fastest speed, conveying his meaning.

If it weren't for some major event in the country, Juzi would not use it easily.

In the city tower, there was a bronze bell with a voice as clear as the morning: "Mr. Sun listens to the giant and asks three questions!"
