The Ascension of Ghosts
Chapter 83 Bian Shui Liu (7)
It was dark and boundless, and there were faint noises rising and falling.
After the noise gradually weakened and dispersed, only a weak voice remained, erratic, and it came from nowhere.
Lu Sheng listened attentively, and it was the voice of a beautiful woman in a trance. He sang slowly: "Bian River flows, Surabaya River flows, and flows to the ancient ferry in Guazhou. Wu Shan is a little sad. Thinking, hating, and hating will not stop until he returns. Yue Ming People lean on the building."
Lu Sheng was familiar with this song a long time ago, but now the woman sang it, clear and bright, without the sadness of missing the king, but with some joy on the contrary, which is very refreshing.
Lu Sheng sat up slowly, only to realize that he was lying in the wet grass, and now his clothes were soaked in rainwater, and it was cold and wet against his skin, making him very uncomfortable.
You couldn't see your fingers around, only a faint blue light from a distance approached and fell within sight, and Lu Sheng realized that the light was shining, and a person and a cow wrapped in it were walking towards him leisurely.
The green bull was light blue in color, its skin was as smooth as a stone carving, its horns were like knives, and its steps were steady and powerful. A woman in green clothes sat sideways on the bull's back, her long black hair was loosely coiled behind her head, and was fixed with a bamboo hairpin.Her thin lips opened and closed, and she sang happily. She didn't look stunning, but her brows were comfortable, as if she was at ease in her heart, which made people feel good at first sight.
As she got closer, the singing stopped, and the green cow also stopped, quietly lowered its head, and gnawed at the green grass at Lu Sheng's feet.The woman just jumped off the bull's back, and regardless of the muddy ground, she walked up to Lu Sheng with a smile, blessed her lightly, and said softly, "Qingtao, from Dongting, met Lu Gongcao."
Lu Sheng was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly replied, "I've seen Qingtao...madam."
Qingtao lost her voice, burst out laughing, and quickly covered her mouth apologetically, "Qingtao is just a lowly person, she can't be called a wife, Mr. Gongcao, don't let me down."
Lu Sheng saw that she spoke and smiled kindly. Even though she was suppressed by the four evil spirits for more than [-] years and suffered from soul-devouring pain, she still has no trace of resentment. Very admirable.
It's just that no matter how much she smiles like a spring breeze and the sun shines brightly, she is still a ghost, just like the blue bull she rode on, although it looks gentle, but there are still traces of ancient carvings on its back and shoulders, but it is exactly Xie Rong. The Shoushan stone carvings and the Qiongqi paperweight I got from the Huangfu in a few days.
Lu Sheng asked, "I don't know why Miss Qingtao came here?"
Qingtao smiled and said: "I was entrusted by someone to pass on a word for the meritorious Cao."
Lu Sheng moved, "Could it be Xie Rong?"
But Qingtao sighed: "The way of ghosts is dark, so I dare not mention his name. I also ask Mr. Gong Cao not to force others to make things difficult."
Lu Sheng looked around, but still saw the deep darkness spreading, and recalled that he and Hou Yan fled out of the city gate desperately before, and then there was a loud noise, but he couldn't remember what happened after that. He felt his throat tighten, and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that I also..."
Qingtao laughed so hard that her flowers and branches trembled, she bent down, the green bull tilted her head, looked at her indifferently, then lowered her head to eat the grass leaves.Fortunately, she also knew what was going on, and after a few laughs, she restrained her expression, and said solemnly: "Lu Gongcao's blessings are profound, and he will definitely not easily fall into the hands of a group of lonely souls and wild ghosts."
Lu Sheng knew that he was thinking wildly, so he just smiled and said seriously, "I would like to hear what that person wants you to say."
Qingtao also said solemnly: "Say: There is still a thousand miles to go to Jianye, so cherish it all the way."
Lu Sheng clenched his fists and said angrily, "What did he say?!"
Seeing that he was suddenly furious, Qingtao was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Lord Gongcao calm down, Qingtao's words have been brought, so I will take my leave."
Lu Sheng couldn't help but stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and asked one after another: "Wait a minute, when and where did you meet him, and what did he look like when you saw him?"
Qingtao didn't say a word and didn't turn around, but Lu Sheng only felt a blur in front of his eyes and an empty hand, and the woman disappeared.
Lu Sheng was anxious, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back. He frowned, and finally woke up.
However, the room was full of bright light, and the sunlight shone into the room through the cracks in the windows and walls, and fell on the ground, splitting into strange light spots.
Lu Sheng was lying face down on a wooden bed covered with hay and coarse cloth. The interior of the house was simple and looked like a farmer's residence. On the rough wooden table, hanging pots were still neatly placed.His upper body was bare and his back was wrapped with a bandage, but his whole body was burning hot, so he had to struggle to prop up the bed and staggered down to the ground.
The wooden door opened with a creak, but it was Hou Yan who came in holding a pottery bowl. Seeing Lu Sheng get up, he hurried up a few steps, put the bowl on the wooden table, helped Lu Sheng sit back on the bed, and said, "Lu Sheng Brother, are you awake? You are badly injured, don't get up casually."
Lu Sheng looked at him carefully. The young man's expression was dull, and there was a thick shadow under his eyes. He was probably suffering from shock and torture, so he sighed after he was not injured, "It's good that you are fine... what is this?" Place? How many days have passed?"
Hou Yan's expression was complicated and difficult to understand, his eye circles were red, but he just wiped it vigorously, and sat beside Lu Sheng and replied, "I escaped late at night the day before yesterday..."
This village is called Huangsha'ao, located only seven or eight miles northwest of Yizhou City.After Lu Sheng fell into a coma, the many headless guards did not dare to chase them out of the city, so the two managed to escape by luck.Hou Yan was short in stature, but flexible in mind. He picked a lot of willow vines and branches from local sources, made a raft, and dragged Lu Sheng to the village.
Seeing that his fingers were covered with scars, Lu Sheng raised his hand to shake it, and sighed, "It's hard for you."
Hou Yan took a deep breath, and said shyly, "I'm the one who got Brother Lu involved, if it wasn't...if it wasn't..."
Lu Sheng couldn't bear to be harsh, but Hou Yan moved his sitting position and carefully leaned against Lu Sheng. Seeing that Lu Sheng wouldn't push him away, he pressed his whole body against his arm, and continued in a low voice: "There are five members of my Hou family, father and brother. All four of them joined the army, and often told me frankly that killing is a serious crime, so my father gave me a long whip and asked me to observe the precept of killing, so as to accumulate a little blessing for the descendants of the Hou family."
He took a deep breath, pressed his cheek against Lu Sheng's hot arm, and said in a trembling voice, "It's just that the monsters are dangerous, I, I don't know how to deal with myself..."
Lu Sheng was also silent for a long time, before he said: "Hou Yan, I dare not speculate on what the commander-in-chief is thinking, but you are in the city of Yizhou, no one dares to hurt you, a whip is enough. But at this moment I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you Zhouquan... You have to adapt to the situation. If you can save your life, let's talk about other things."
This kid's real body was suspicious, Lu Sheng naturally didn't dare to send him back to Yizhou for fear of falling into the hands of Concubine Yu, but Xie Rong hadn't heard from him so far, so he couldn't help but feel worried.It was useless to worry, he simply asked again where he was staying now, it turned out to be the yard of an old couple.
The old couple had no children, they only picked up an orphan to raise, who is only three or four years old now, and there are no other people around.Hou Yan removed the gold beads on his belt as a reward, and lied that the two brothers had encountered barbarian bandits, and now they were looking for a place to recuperate, so it was appropriate to act.
Lu Sheng thought about it for a moment, and could only sigh: "Let's wait for my injury to heal... and then wait for news from Xie Rong."
Hou Yan gritted his teeth, and still responded: "Brother Lu, I can save you. Now let me protect you."
Lu Sheng smiled softly, stroked the top of the young man's head lightly, turned his hand to fetch the outer shirt on the bedside, touched the flat box hidden in the secret pocket, and swallowed the pills in the box.Seeing this, Hou Yan quickly got up and poured him a glass of water.The pill was a gift from Xie Rong, after taking it now, he only felt the cool air rising from his abdomen, spreading to his limbs and bones, and even his mind became clearer.
He felt a little better, so he put on his clothes.
Hou Yan brought the pottery bowl again, filled half a bowl of goat's milk porridge, which was made by substituting goat's milk for water, submerged in rice grains, and boiled slowly over a low fire. The crystal clear bird's eggs are like white jade, and the fragrance of milk blends with the fragrance of japonica rice, which is quite appetizing.Lu Sheng also lived up to Hou Yan's kindness, and ate up the porridge from the big pottery bowl. Seeing that he had a good appetite, Hou Yan was also happy, took the empty bowl and said, "I'll ask the old lady for some more."
Lu Sheng said: "No need." He had a lot of worries in his heart, and finally said, "Hou Yan, you are hiding here, I..."
He was about to say that I would go to Yizhou City to explore, but suddenly there was a loud noise outside the window. I don't know who was yelling, which attracted the villagers to gather. Lu Sheng vaguely heard "Yizhou City" mixed with the noise. After three words, he stood up, got up in a hurry, and suddenly felt a tearing pain in his back, he took a deep breath, Hou Yan hurriedly grabbed his hand, and said in a panic: "Brother Lu, you are seriously injured , Sit down for a while, I'll go find out the news."
Lu Sheng smiled and said, "It's all right, I took the elixir, and I'm fine now." He straightened up, waited until the pain subsided, then slowed down and walked out the door.
He was dressed differently from the villagers, so it was naturally inconvenient to show up rashly, so he just hid in a corner not far away, listening attentively.It turned out that a few villagers were going to deliver firewood to the big households in Yizhou City as agreed, but unexpectedly they saw an earth-shattering event.
This was too unbelievable, so Lu Sheng frowned, and all the villagers showed utter disbelief.
The villagers looked serious and vowed, "Yizhou City is gone!"
The huge city disappeared, but instead, there appeared a lake with no limit. The lake was shrouded in mist and rain, making it hard to see clearly.The villagers were terrified by the vision, so they dragged their firewood carts back.
But even if such a miracle happened, what everyone is arguing about now is that the firewood carts sent were returned as they were, and half a penny was never earned back, so everyone was worried.
After hearing it for a while, Lu Sheng returned to the room and said in a deep voice, "Hou Yan, wait for me in the village."
Hou Yancai was about to shake his head, but seeing Lu Sheng's serious expression, which was unprecedented, he could only lower his head in frustration, and replied, "I, I will wait for Big Brother Lu."
Lu Sheng grabbed the hanging pot, and when he saw Hou Yan staring at him eagerly, he forced the corners of his lips to curl up, but his heart was so heavy that he couldn't smile at all, so he stroked the top of Hou Yanrou's thin hair again, "Don't worry, Brother Lu will come back as soon as he goes." , will never abandon you.”
Hou Yanchi nodded hesitantly, laughed slowly, and repeated softly: "I'll wait for Brother Lu."
Lu Sheng stepped out the door, and the scorching sun shone on his body, but it was icy cold. He couldn't help speeding up his pace, and rushed to Yizhou City, and couldn't help whispering: "Ah Rong, Ah Rong...what are you doing? Heart, what are you talking about?"
There is still a thousand miles to go to Jianye, so cherish it all the way.
Previously, he only thought that Xie Rong was still holding his breath, but now it sounds like a farewell message.
What is Xie Rong's intentions, and where has she gone now?
After the noise gradually weakened and dispersed, only a weak voice remained, erratic, and it came from nowhere.
Lu Sheng listened attentively, and it was the voice of a beautiful woman in a trance. He sang slowly: "Bian River flows, Surabaya River flows, and flows to the ancient ferry in Guazhou. Wu Shan is a little sad. Thinking, hating, and hating will not stop until he returns. Yue Ming People lean on the building."
