Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Firefly

Di Qing and others crossed the Qinggang Gorge and crossed Hengshan Mountain. After passing the Qinggang Gorge, the crowd galloped for another day, and they had entered Qingzhou and approached Rouyuan Village. Rouyuan Village is an important stronghold in Qingzhou against the Dangxiang people, and the person guarding the village is still Wuying.Di Qing thought of Wu Ying, and felt warm in his heart.When he was thinking about whether to go to Rouyuanzhai to meet Wuying, there was a horse galloping from afar. Han Xiao went up to meet him, and after saying a few words, he turned around and said, "General Di, Mr. Zhong is waiting for you at Rouyuan Village. He asks you to go to Rouyuan Village."

During this journey, Di Qing already knew that Li Ding, Ge Bing and Han Xiao each had their own abilities.Han Xiao's martial arts skills are not good, but his ability to inquire and deliver news is first-rate. With Han Xiao around, Di Qing knows a lot of things while walking on the road. Di Qing was very strange, thinking to himself that Zhong Shiheng was not in Qingjian, what was he doing in Rouyuan Village? Seeing that Di Qing was confused, Han Xiao smiled and said, "General Di..." "Don't call me General Di anymore." Di Qing waved his hand and said, "I'm just an ordinary commander, and I can't bear the word general."

Han Xiao smiled unabated, but his eyes were full of sincerity, and he said: "General Di, maybe you are just a commander, but everything you have done in the past few years is worthy of the word "general". , as for me... I have seen too many people with corpses and vegetarian meals, and I feel that there are not many people worthy of respect in the Northwest. But when the three of us went to Xingqing Mansion to find you, we really wanted to talk to you. Old man Zhong said, Di The general is the only person in the Northwest who can possibly counter Yuan Hao, and it is just a rare opportunity to show his talents. Mr. Zhong believes in you, we believe in him, and we also believe in you."

He said this with a smile, his eyes full of awe. Di Qing looked at Han Xiao, then at the indifferent Li Ding, the sword-bearing soldier.Li Ding just nodded, indicating that Han Xiao was right.Ge Bing said in a deep voice: "General Di, don't look at it. After we heard your story, we all obeyed you. Since you appealed for Xinzhai Ding Shanben, since you blocked the iron kite alone, since you broke the Qiaozhai, when Zhan Ye Li cuts the sky and kills King Bodhi, we will submit to you. In the northwest, if you can't afford the title of general, who can take it?" Di Qing saw the different expressions of the three people, but the same sincerity, and sighed: "How lucky is Di Qing, after escaping from the dead, I was able to know you again. Well, you believe me, I, Di Qing, will not be able to live up to your trust! One day, Di Qing wants the party members to know that with Di Qing around, Huma can no longer wreak havoc on the Central Plains."

What he said was to Han Xiao and the others, and also to Zhong Shiheng, Ye Zhiqiu, Guo Zun and others, and it was a promise to Yang Yushang—a promise that will never change in this life! The bright moon in Qin Dynasty and the pass in Han Dynasty, the people who marched thousands of miles have not yet returned. But let the flying generals of Dragon City stay, and don't teach Huma to go to Yinshan Mountain! For some reason, Di Qing suddenly thought of these four lines of poetry, and his heart arose again, sweeping away his depression.Whether it's alive or dead, since God won't accept him, Di Qing, he will always have a hearty fight.

The three of Han Xiao were all in high spirits, and they said in unison: "We are waiting for the day of General Di!" When Di Qing rode his horse to Rouyuan Village, he couldn't help asking Han Xiao, "Why did Mr. Zhong come to Rouyuan Village?" Han Xiao shook his head and said, "I don't know either. In the past year since General Di left, Mr. Zhong always sighed, saying that you would not die. He was more than happy to hear that you appeared in Xingqing Mansion again, so he ordered us immediately. Coming to find you... His joy seems to be..." Han Xiao couldn't help laughing, and didn't say any more.

Di Qing asked, "Like what?" Han Xiao looked funny, and said, "It's like the creditor finally found the debtor." Di Qing laughed, but Zhong Shiheng's disheveled face, slightly bald forehead, and melancholy eyes appeared in front of his eyes. Between him and Zhong Shiheng, there seemed to be no seriousness, but the friendship between them was as long ago as spring rain moistening things. As he approached Rouyuan Village, Di Qing suddenly fixed his eyes and urged his horse to run.There is also a horse running in the distance, as fast as wind and fire. The man on the horse has a slightly bald head and is wearing a tattered straw sandal in late autumn. Isn't it Zhong Shiheng?

The two got off their horses almost at the same time, and when they came to a place, they couldn't help but stop again, seeing the embarrassment in each other's eyes. Zhong Shiheng's eye circles were red, he wiped the corners of his eyes with his greasy sleeve, and murmured, "It's great that you're not dead." Di Qing laughed and said, "Since I'm not dead yet, why are you crying? " Zhong Shiheng said with emotion: "Of course you can't die, you still owe me a lot of money and haven't paid it back." He wanted to laugh, but he coughed violently.

Seeing that Zhong Shiheng's body was bent into a bow, Di Qing patted him on the back and said with concern, "Are you okay? You can't die either." Zhong Shiheng finally held back his cough and sighed: "You are not dead, of course I can't go so early..." Di Qing said: "That's that. You can't die, and I still count on you to make money for me." The two looked at each other, remembering the seamless cooperation in Qingjian City back then, they couldn't help laughing again, the vicissitudes of life in the smile were like sand.Han Xiao on the side saw that there were tears in his smile, Ge Bing held his head up, only Li Ding's face was still ashen, but there was warmth in his eyes.

Some people, some feelings, don't need to be earth-shattering, but when you look back many years later, you will always remember them in your heart. Zhong Shiheng stopped talking and joking, pulled Di Qing onto the horse and said, "Follow me to the village, I will take you to meet someone." "Who is it?" Di Qing asked in surprise. Zhong Shiheng said mysteriously: "You will know when you see it." If Zhong Shiheng didn't say anything, Di Qing didn't ask.Zhong Shiheng and Di Qing walked side by side, got off their horses in front of Rouyuan Village, and suddenly said: "Di Qing, I know what Diema means. I thought... I can't tell you in this life." , very emotional.

Di Qing was a little grateful, and said sadly: "Ye Butou told me that it was the meaning of terma." Zhong Shiheng nodded and said: "It turns out that Ye Butou also found it. Alas... Di Qing, I haven't found a map or Shambhala these days. I... I'm sorry." apologetic. Di Qing sighed, shook his head and said, "Looking for Shambhala, it seems that we have to rely on fate. I know...you have no way to start." Zhong Shiheng seemed to have thought of something, and murmured: "If you want to find Shambhala, you must find a terma. Alas... this terma is not easy to find. Who knows what is going on in other people's heads? Besides, I heard that termas themselves I don’t necessarily know that I’m a terma, it’s triggered by a specific environment. I’ve heard that this kind of person always gets enlightenment in dreams..." Before he could finish speaking, he caught a glimpse of Di Qing's pale face, and Zhong Shiheng asked in surprise, "Di Qing, what's wrong with you?" At that moment, Di Qing seemed to think of something very important, and felt that it had something to do with Shambhala, but he couldn't be sure for a while. At this moment, a cavalry rushed out of the village.The man on the horse came in front of Di Qing, flew off his horse, hesitated a little, and asked, "Di Qing?" That person was Wu Ying. Seeing Di Qing's changed appearance, he was inevitably confused. Di Qing nodded, Wu Ying didn't hesitate any more, punched Di Qing, and shouted excitedly: "Di Qing, you're not dead, it's good!" Di Qing also punched out, and his fists met, and said with emotion: "Don't worry, I won't die so easily." The two looked at each other and smiled with pride in their chests.Wu Ying was even more excited, without asking any more questions, she immediately brought Di Qing into the village and said, "Someone wants to see you, come with me." From the outside, Rouyuan Village looks like a hedgehog, causing headaches.After Di Qing entered, he realized that the army in the village was even more awe-inspiring, with high fighting spirit. Di Qing didn't care about admiration, and went to the camp of the Chinese army with Wu Ying and Zhong Shiheng.Di Qing saw that although the tents of the Chinese army were simple, but the scale was not small, he thought to himself, "Zhong Shiheng wants to bring me to meet someone, and Wu Ying is so eager, so that person must be here. But who is that person?" Wu Ying didn't pass it on, so she opened the curtain and walked straight in, saluting: "Master Fan, Di Qing has arrived." There are two people sitting in the tent.But the first thing Di Qing saw was the man sitting upright on the ground and looking up. The man was staring at the map on the case table just now, and he raised his head when he heard people entering the room.He is undoubtedly the kind of person who blends in with the crowd and can be seen at a glance. The man was a bit fat, sitting in the tent of the Chinese army, he didn't have the majesty of a general.He was not majestic, nor did he deliberately put on a straight face. He didn't look like a general, but a businessman. But anyone who sees him at the first glance knows that he is not a businessman, it is because he has eyes that a businessman does not have. It was his eyes that attracted others. There were quite a few wrinkles in the corners of the man's eyes, each of which seemed to express his ups and downs, unyielding, hardships and hardships.But there was always relief in his eyes. Those eyes told everyone that he was not depressed because of the ordeal, and he was not subdued by fate because of the blow.On the contrary, because of his misfortune, he became more bright, persistent, gentle and affectionate. He was originally a sentimental person, most of which was pity for the common people in the world. Doesn't the sword become sharper because it is sharpened?Isn't it because of the bitter cold that plum blossoms have their fragrance? When the man saw Di Qing, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, like a spring breeze blowing willows, bringing bright colors to the bleak autumn. He only said softly: "You are here? Very good, I have been waiting for you. Just come back. " Just come back! That person doesn't need to ask too much, because he firmly believes that what should come will eventually come! The voice was full of relief, like a sincere friend who had already agreed to reunite. Although it was as plain as water, the friendship was deep. He and Di Qing have only met once, but this life has been decided, and they are destined to meet again.Two different types of people, one is passionate and the other is dedicated, the other has gone through ups and downs, and has gone through a hundred hardships. If they join hands, will they collide with the brightest brilliance in the world? That person is Fan Zhongyan!Fan Zhongyan came to the northwest! There was also respect on Di Qing's face, Fan Zhongyan - worthy of his respect! But Di Qing was still a little strange, there was still "age" on his face, it was no longer his original face, why did Fan Zhongyan recognize him at a glance? On the way back, Di Qing heard Han Xiao mention the current situation in the Northwest. After the battle of Sanchuankou, the emperor was furious. Not only Fan Yong could not absolve himself of the blame, but almost all the officials of the northwest frontier defense were dismissed.Right now, Xia Song is the appeasement envoy of Shaanxi Economic Strategy, fully responsible for the defense of the Northwest.Xia Song didn't know soldiers, so he was angry and lustful, but what he was smart about was that he handed everything over to Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi. Both Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi are currently deputy envoys to appease Shaanxi Economic Strategy, Fan Zhongyan also knows Yanzhou, and Han Qi also knows Jingzhou.The current status of these two people is similar to that of Fan Yong. Fan Zhongyan, as the deputy envoy of appeasement, now knows Yanzhou, why did he quietly go to Rouyuan Village? While Di Qing pondered, Fan Zhongyan pointed to the mat beside him, motioning for everyone to sit down. Fan Zhongyan was not polite, looked at the map on the case, and said directly: "Di Qing, you have been away for a long time, and you don't know many things. Let me talk to you a little bit." Unfamiliar, he pointed to the map and said: "At the beginning, the Dangxiang people used Hengshan as the commanding height to attack our dynasty. But we formed a bow-shaped defense against the Dangxiang people based on the three prefectures of Huan, Qing, and Yan, plus the Security Army, Tumen and other places. Sanchuankou After the First World War, Yuan Hao took Jinmingzhai, broke the Tumen, and was captured by them in Pingyuan. In addition to the two places they inserted in Baibao City, Jintang City, and the frontier defense near Yanzhou, It can be said to be riddled with holes." When Di Qing saw that several arrowheads had pierced through the Yanzhou area, he felt sorry for him. Fan Zhongyan turned his head to look at Di Qing and said, "What do you think about this?" Everyone was amazed, they didn't expect Fan Zhongyan to ask a warrior for his opinion.It's just that this question has broken Da Song's practice. I think that since the founding of the Song Dynasty, civil servants have been aloof. Whenever they go to war, they will ride on the heads of generals.Although civil servants don't know soldiers and know how to use them, all the strategies have always been decided by civil servants. Fan Zhongyan would ask a commander for advice? Di Qing didn't pay attention to everyone's surprise, but just looked at the map and muttered: "Yuan Haolian took several places in the Song Dynasty, with Jinmingzhai, Jintang City, Baibao City and other places as the back of the bow, with the entire Hengshan Mountain as the string, and the arrow on the string, Yanzhou It's completely passive." There was another person sitting beside Fan Zhongyan, with a fair face, who asked, "Then what should we do now?" Seeing Di Qing's questioning eyes, Fan Zhongyan smiled and said: "I forgot to introduce you, this is Master Yin Zhuyin, the judge of Qingzhou Economic Strategy." Di Qing had also heard of Yin Zhu's name, and knew that this person was Fan Zhongyan's friend.When Fan Zhongyan was demoted several times, Yin Zhu has always stood by Fan Zhongyan's side, followed by being demoted, he can be regarded as an upright person. The economic and strategic judge is mainly responsible for coordinating the affairs of the states, and also participates in military aircraft duties. His official position is far above Di Qing. Di Qing cupped his fists to salute, Yin Zhu said: "Don't be polite, I have the same temper as Fan Gong, if you have the ability, it's okay to offend me, if you don't have the ability to occupy a place, I will inevitably offend you. Come on, tell me what we want to do now." what to do?" Yin Zhu squinted at Di Qing, vaguely asking questions. It turned out that after Fan Zhongyan arrived in the Northwest, he asked Zhong Shiheng for generals, and Zhong Shiheng recommended Di Qing without hesitation, saying that Di Qing was brave and resourceful, and could be used in a big way.Just as Di Qing was returning, Zhong Shiheng immediately brought Di Qing to meet him. Yin Zhu is a straightforward person, although he is not an expert in military affairs, he is good at discussing military affairs. After hearing Zhong Shiheng's praise of Di Qing, it is inevitable that he would be dissatisfied, so he asked this question. The Great Song Dynasty had always valued literature over martial arts, and although Yin Zhu was not a bad person, he still despised Di Qing in his heart. Seeing Yin Zhu like this, Di Qing felt a little funny, and pondered for a while: "As the saying goes, 'Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles'. Now that we are weak, we must first understand what Yuan Hao wants to do before we can use troops against it." Fan Zhongyan's eyes were full of admiration, and he asked again, "What do you think Yuan Hao should do next?" Di Qing said without hesitation: "Yuan Hao's strategy is to take all the land in Longyou, according to Guanzhong, and take Bianjing in the east!" There is no mistake in what Yuan and Yuan Hao said in person. Everyone was terrified, only Zhong Shiheng smiled at the corner of his mouth, and looked at Fan Zhongyan meaningfully. There was something strange in Fan Zhongyan's eyes, as if it was hard to imagine that Di Qing would have such an idea.Only Yin Zhu was dissatisfied and said: "If you want to take all of Guanzhong, does he treat us as dead people?" Fan Zhongyan sighed softly, and suddenly said: "Recently, the imperial court ordered us to actively prepare for the war, but we are setting up defenses at Tongguan..." He changed the topic, and Yin Zhu said in surprise: "Tongguan is still far away, why are you setting up defenses there? " Di Qing was terrified, and came to his senses: "Could it be that... the imperial court is already afraid of the party members, and wants to give up the Guanzhong land?" Yin Zhu was stunned, and was about to refute Di Qing, but Fan Zhongyan's face was solemn, knowing that Di Qing's guess was correct, he also changed his color and said, "This...how is this possible? Recently, the imperial court asked me to wait for recruiting soldiers, buying donkeys and horses, and building more fortresses. Is it? The imperial court is actively preparing for war, how could there be such negative thoughts?" Fan Zhongyan said worriedly: "Our army suffered a disastrous defeat at Sanchuankou, and the government and the public were shocked. Of course they are not willing to give up Guanzhong, but the Northwest has been suffering for a long time, and the preparations for the Northwest battle will undoubtedly cost a lot. Now we can only win, not lose! If we wait If we lose again, the imperial court will lose confidence, and it is very likely that we will abandon Guanzhong." Everyone fell silent, only then did they realize that they had a heavy responsibility on their shoulders. Seeing the awe-inspiring expressions of everyone, Fan Zhongyan smiled and said, "But Yuan Hao is by no means invincible. As long as I wait and be careful so that he has no chance to take advantage of, I will not dare to send troops lightly. He has no chance, but we are waiting for the chance." Di Qing chewed on Fan Zhongyan's words, feeling that they made a lot of sense, and his hope had risen. However, Yin Zhu understood Cheng's other meaning, cheered up, and said: "That's right, he is human, and we are also human. I don't believe we can't beat him!" Fan Zhongyan frowned inadvertently, as if he didn't agree with what Yin Zhu said, but he didn't say much after all, turned to Di Qing and said, "Do you often read?" Di Qing didn't want Fan Zhongyan to ask this question suddenly, and said with embarrassment: "I have been a humble soldier for many years, and I seldom read books." In fact, there is a book in his arms, which is the Book of Songs that he has almost smashed. Fan Zhongyan said softly: "I don't know the past and the present, I'm Yonger!" After pondering for a while, he took a book from his side and handed it over, "I have a book here, if you have time, you can read it." Fan Zhongyan spoke in a negotiating tone, never wanting to make things difficult for others.Di Qing immediately took the book and said in a deep voice, "Thank you sir." He looked at the page and saw the words "Zuoshi Chunqiu" written on it. "Then these few days, you should stay here first." Fan Zhongyan said softly: "Di Qing, you have been traveling all the way, and it is also very hard. Take a break for a while, and I will talk to you about something tomorrow. Mr. Chong, Yin Zhu, you stay here." Next, I have something to say." Di Qing knew that Fan Zhongyan would probably discuss military plans with Zhong Shiheng and others, so he resigned from the account.It was only after arriving outside the tent that it was getting late.The cold wind is cold, and piles of bonfires have been lit in Rouyuan village.There were two people standing beside the fire, but they were Ge Zhenyuan and Liao Feng. Di Qing rubbed his eyes and said pleasantly, "How did you come here?" Ge Zhenyuan's beard is still thick, but he looks like he has lost dozens of catties, his eyes are sunken, and he is indescribably haggard.Seeing Di Qing, Ge Zhenyuan had tears in his eyes, he rushed over and hugged Di Qing, and shouted, "Commander Di, you are back." He couldn't help crying, tired and joyful at the same time.Liao Feng stood aside, feeling guilty amidst his excitement. Di Qing caught a glimpse of Liao Feng's uneasiness, and asked strangely, "Liao Feng, what's wrong with you?" He was surprised at Ge Zhenyuan's different excitement, and also curious about Liao Feng's expression, always feeling that something happened between the two of them. Before Liao Feng could speak, Ge Zhenyuan wiped away his tears and said with a smile, "It's nothing. Commander Di, it's good that you come back." He took out a small packet of medicinal powder from his pocket and threw it to Di Qing, "Commander Di, she took you away back then. When I said that you will definitely change your appearance when you come back. This medicine is called time wheel, it can wash away the old flowers and restore your original appearance!" Di Qing took the powder and asked strangely, "Kalacha? Who is she... is it Feixue?" In the light of the fire, Ge Zhenyuan's face seemed to change, and he murmured: "You mean... the girl with the blue ribbon around her waist? Her name is Feixue, I... don't know." Di Qing was even more surprised, "You don't know Feixue? Then why did you let Feixue take me away?" He just asked casually, not wanting Ge Zhenyuan to suddenly change color, took a step back, stared at Di Qing and said, "Commander Di, don't you believe me?" I?" Ge Zhenyuan's eyes were burning, and his eyes were full of grievance and loss. Seeing this, Di Qing trembled in his heart, and said sincerely: "Zhenyuan, we are brothers, how could I not believe you. But I know you are a safe person, since you handed me over to Feixue, you must have your reasons. I just thought you knew Feixue, so I asked. If it's not convenient for you to tell me, just pretend I didn't ask. I haven't thanked you for saving me yet! But... Sima..." Di Qing looked gloomy, thinking that Sima Buqun died because of him, and he would go to Sima's tomb to worship when he had time.Ge Zhenyuan's lips moved, before he could say anything, Liao Feng said loudly: "Old Ge, everything is my fault, please forgive me." Di Qing was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Liao Feng, what's going on?" Liao Feng blushed and said guiltily: "Commander Di, let me tell you the truth. When Sima died, Lao Ge was responsible for bringing you back to Qingjian City for medical treatment. After he returned to the city, he said that you were killed by someone. He took it away. He couldn't tell who that person was, nor did he say where you went, but said that he would definitely save you, and we were all worried, naturally...naturally..." Seeing Liao Feng's hesitation, Di Qing frowned and said, "You naturally suspect that he betrayed me?" Liao Feng sighed, and said: "That's right. I was angry for a while, and I fought with Lao Ge. The brothers even wanted to kill Lao Ge to avenge you... Later, thanks to Zhong Shiheng's guarantee, Lao Ge was killed. Ge was in custody for the time being. Later, when I heard that you were making trouble in the Xingqing Mansion again, and knowing that you were fine, Mr. Zhong hurriedly sent someone to look for you. The brothers knew that they had misunderstood Lao Ge, so they released Lao Ge from prison..." Tears welled up in Di Qing's eyes, and he realized why Ge Zhenyuan was so haggard. It turned out that Ge Zhenyuan had spent more than half a year in prison for Di Qing. Grabbing Ge Zhenyuan, Di Qing blamed himself, "Zhenyuan...I'm sorry for you." Liao Feng also said: "Old Ge, we are all sorry for you, if you beat or scold, it's up to you. But..." "But we are brothers." Di Qing held Ge Zhenyuan's arms tightly, and continued: "When you saved me, you anticipated what would happen next, but you still have to do so. Zhenyuan...I..." "If you really treat me as a brother, don't say sorry again." Ge Zhenyuan said suddenly, although there were tears in the corners of his eyes, but the corners of his mouth were full of sincere smiles, "Brothers...not only share blessings, but also are ready to share pains at any time, otherwise what kind of brothers are you?" He saw that Di Qing believed him , I already feel that all the sacrifices are worthwhile.He is not afraid of being wronged, but he is only afraid that others will not understand. Sometimes, his brother's trust is more important to him than anything else. Maybe they are the same kind of people, so they can get together.If you give sincerely, you can expect sincere returns. "My old family once said that as a brother in this life, I don't know how many lifetimes it takes to cultivate. You must cherish it! People are alive, and no one has a little grievance! Commander Di is fine this time, and I am not dead. Everything is over, okay? Okay?" When Ge Zhenyuan asked, he was looking at Liao Feng. Liao Feng was at a loss, rubbed his head, and said after a while: "Okay, of course!" "But you wronged me, you have to make up for it." Ge Zhenyuan pretended to be serious. "Say it, tell it." Liao Feng said hastily.Seeing that Ge Zhenyuan had suffered so much grievance, he was willing to write it off, of course he was willing to do anything. Ge Zhenyuan looked at Di Qing, then at Liao Feng, and said in a deep voice, "I want you guys to drink with me tonight, if you don't get drunk, you won't come home, do you have the guts to agree?" Liao Feng didn't expect Ge Zhenyuan to make such a request, so he said after a while: "Okay, whoever doesn't drink is the grandson!" When he turned his head away, he almost burst into tears. Di Qing looked at Ge Zhenyuan with a lot of emotion. Maybe getting along is easy, but understanding is always too difficult! The three of them sat down in a restaurant in Rouyuanzhai. In the autumn night, a big fire was ignited in the restaurant hall.The three drank happily around the fire, Ge Zhenyuan drank like water, as if he wanted to wash away his mood for many days. Di Qing was full of thoughts, and wanted to ask about Feixue, but Ge Zhenyuan was drinking happily, and didn't want to interrupt his interest, so he suppressed the thought. I don't want Ge Zhenyuan to drink a few bowls of wine, facing the fire, and suddenly murmured: "I really don't know her name is Feixue. I can say I know her, but I just met her by chance. I don't want her to remember me." Di Qing was startled, not knowing whether Ge Zhenyuan talked about the past on purpose or not, so he listened carefully. Ge Zhenyuan whispered to himself, as if recalling something, "At that time, she was still a child. One day, a mother-in-law in our Gejiaji fell ill and was dying. The most famous doctors in the village shook their heads and said there was no hope. The family was preparing for the funeral... The girl came suddenly, she was still a little girl at the time, and she was crying very sadly in front of the old woman's bed, as if the old woman was her relative..." He spoke in a trance, as if he was telling a dream.The flames danced like spirits jumping in the dark. Ge Zhenyuan's expression was blurred, making it difficult to tell if he was drunk, and he said: "At that time, I was watching from the side, and couldn't help asking, 'Little girl, is this your relative?' The little girl glanced at me, and that glance... ...like falling into a dream..." Di Qing recalled the scene of meeting Feixue, and felt a little sad.He had an impression of Feixue also because of her pair of clear eyes that seemed to be untouched by human fireworks. Ge Zhenyuan looked disconcerted, and said in a low voice: "The little girl only looked at me, then turned her head and said, 'Don't cry anymore, I can save her.' Naturally, the mother-in-law's relatives couldn't believe it. She was still young, and they all scolded her. I said by the side, 'Anyway, both sides are dead, so what if I let her try?' At that time, I still had a little reputation in the village, so they reluctantly let the little girl try. The little girl took out something that looked like a stone. The stone was originally translucent white, but there seemed to be fluorescent lights flowing in it, just like...flying fireflies in the vast grassland." When he said this, he trembled slightly, remembering that snowy night, Feixue also took out the stone, so he believed Feixue and let Feixue take Di Qing away. Di Qing thought to himself, "This kind of stone is rare, no wonder Ge Zhenyuan can't forget it when he sees it." Ge Zhenyuan said again: "The little girl fetched a bowl of well water and soaked the stone in it. After waiting for a while, she took back the stone and gave the bowl of water to the mother-in-law to drink. I don't want to..." He showed an unbelievable expression on his face, "The mother-in-law woke up soon and was able to move around." Liao Feng held back his silence all the time, at this moment he was extremely surprised, and said in a broken voice: "There is such a thing in the world?" Ge Zhenyuan ignored Liao Feng, took another sip of wine, and murmured: "If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't believe this kind of thing. I also know... After I said it, many people didn't believe it. On the contrary, they would feel I'm making up a lie." Liao Feng felt a little ashamed and was speechless for a moment. Ge Zhenyuan smiled, and murmured: "The mother-in-law's family is naturally grateful to the little girl, but the little girl said coldly, 'It's none of your business for me to save her.' After she finished speaking, she left I didn’t even look at the mother-in-law again. Everyone was surprised, but they didn’t dare to catch up, but I saw two idle men in the village muttering a few words, and followed the little girl.” Di Qing frowned and said: "These two have bad intentions, I'm afraid they fell in love with the stone in the little girl's arms." He was thinking again, "Feixue is weak, she must be defeated by the two strong men, could it be that Ge Zhenyuan rescued her? ?” Ge Zhenyuan nodded and said: "Yes, anyone who sees that stone is so miraculous must have the intention of possessing it. I saw those two people sneaking around and followed them. I lost those two when I left the village. The whereabouts of the hooligans. I couldn't help being anxious, and shouted loudly, "Don't be fooled, little girl, where are you?" I searched everywhere. When it was dark, I arrived at the cemetery outside Gejiaji Village. There were two people kneeling there, and I braved up my courage to walk over, only to find that those two were hooligans following the little girl, and the little girl had long since disappeared." Di Qing was startled, "How about those two...?" Horror suddenly appeared on Ge Zhenyuan's face, and the hand holding the wine bowl trembled violently, as if he had encountered a ghost.After a long while, he said hoarsely: "It was summer at that time, and fireflies were flying around like phosphorous fire in a cemetery. The two of them knelt there like dead bodies. I was afraid in my heart and shouted, 'What are you doing?' I didn't want to After yelling, the two jumped up suddenly, and one of them cried loudly, "I deserve to die, I deserve to die." He slapped his face so hard that his face was torn apart and the blood spattered without feeling it. He laughed and said, "Hey, stones. Hey, the sky is full of stones." He pointed at the fireflies in the sky, laughing wildly, like crazy people. Those two people who were fine during the day suddenly went crazy! And since then After that, I never woke up again!" The autumn wind blew, and the fireworks flickered. Di Qing and Liao Feng saw that Ge Zhenyuan also looked crazy, and they couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines. Why did those two guys go crazy? Could it be because of Feixue? Suddenly a gust of wind blew, blowing a piece of firewood on the fire, sparks flew in the sound of "huh". Ge Zhenyuan suddenly jumped up, pointed at the sparks in the sky, and shouted: "Yes, it is this kind of fire. The sky is full of this kind of fire..." His expression was astonished, as if he had gone mad.The situation back then obviously gave him a great stimulus. Shocked, Di Qing suddenly held Ge Zhenyuan's hand, and shouted: "Zhenyuan...you wake up!" He stopped drinking, and Ge Zhenyuan's body shook, and he sat down softly, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he looked at him blankly. Di Qing said, "Commander Di, what's wrong with me?" Di Qing was very surprised. Seeing Ge Zhenyuan's expression was in a trance, he was afraid that he would lose control again, so he shook his head and said, "It's nothing." He handed over a bowl of wine, and Ge Zhenyuan drank it in one gulp. After a while, he regained consciousness. Seeing Di Qing and Liao Feng's astonished expressions, Ge Zhenyuan's body trembled again, and he said in a low voice: "Every time I recall that incident, I don't know why, it always happens like this. I drink with you because I want to use wine to strengthen my courage. That’s why I dare to say this.” Di Qing was very surprised, he didn't want that incident to give Ge Zhenyuan such a terrifying memory. After Ge Zhenyuan drank two more bowls of wine, he calmed down and said to himself: "After that, I was overly terrified and became seriously ill. But those two bastards never lived normally again. Until now, sometimes in dreams, I can still dream about the scene at the cemetery, and I am always terrified. Later, I went to the barracks and never saw Feixue again." Di Qing said slowly: "Feixue came to Xinzhai later. She is the granddaughter of the old blacksmith there, don't you know?" Ge Zhenyuan was startled, "There is only one blacksmith's shop in Xinzhai. Are you talking about that old man Lin? He does have a granddaughter, but...it's not like the little girl I met. That little girl has a face like Xue's." Bai, the granddaughter of the old man Lin, seems to have a yellow face, is she really alone?" He frowned, thinking hard. Seeing that Ge Zhenyuan was full of distress, Di Qing comforted her, "It doesn't matter if she is..." Ge Zhenyuan stopped thinking, sighed and said: "She is always so mysterious and incomprehensible. Commander, you were injured in Pingyuan. On the way I took you back to Qingjian City, I met that little girl. Of course, she She has grown up. I didn’t recognize her at the beginning. She said she could save you, but she had to take you away. I was really embarrassed. But she later took out a stone, and that stone... was the one that glowed with fluorescent light back then. Bai Shitou, I remembered the past and realized it was her. I know that there may be someone who can save you, but at that time, only she can save you, and I can only bet once!" Liao Feng said in shame: "But we asked you at the time, why did you die without saying these things?" Ge Zhenyuan said shyly: "I told you, will you believe me?" Liao Feng was stunned, speechless.At that time when Di Qing disappeared, everyone was suspicious of Ge Zhenyuan, and this matter was so secretive, even if Ge Zhenyuan told the truth, Liao Feng would not believe it if he asked himself. Suspicion together, the facts are also pale! Di Qing uneasily said: "Zhenyuan, this incident... really hurt you." Ge Zhenyuan suddenly laughed, "Commander, everything is over. It's like getting drunk. Although you have a headache the next day, the wine is always gone. You don't have to take responsibility for them, and I won't blame anything. At the beginning I gamble just once, if you die, I will die too. If you live...hehe, I got what I wanted, and I am not ashamed of my heart. Well, the wine is exhausted, it's time to rest. " After saying that, he stood up, staggered away, but fell to the ground with a somersault. Di Qing hurried over to help Ge Zhenyuan up, and saw that he was drunk and unconscious.His face was covered with water droplets, and he didn't know whether it was wine or tears! Di Qing carried Ge Zhenyuan back to the camp, and Liao Feng offered to take care of Ge Zhenyuan.For some reason, Di Qing thought of Zhang Yu and Li Yuheng back then, and felt emotional, letting Liao Feng stay by Ge Zhenyuan's side.After leaving the tent, Di Qing thought about Feixue's weirdness and didn't want to sleep. How could Feixue's stone be so strange?How did Feixue drive two strong men crazy?Why is it that Ge Zhenyuan is still so horrified when he recalls the scene of that year after all these years? How many secrets does Feixue still have?Does she really know where Shambhala is?If she really knew Shambhala, which is the holy land of Taoyuan, why didn't she stay there, instead, she kept wandering around? Di Qing couldn't figure it out, so he reached into his bosom to take the time wheel.It was the medicine left by Feixue, which could wash off last year's flowers. Time Wheel, a very strange name, Di Qing thought to himself. Di Qing reached into his bosom, did not take out the medicine, but touched the scroll of Zuo's Spring and Autumn given by Fan Zhongyan.With a slight thought, Di Qing took out the book, flipped through it casually, and saw a page that read: "Sheng Bo Meng She Huan, or with his own rosy, eat it, weep and become a rosy, fill his bosom... Since Zheng and Renshen, as for the raccoon to occupy it, he said: I am afraid of death, so I dare not occupy it. Now there are many people, but I have been with Yu for three years, and there is no injury. In other words, I will die at dusk." Di Qing understands these words with a rough proficiency, and knows that the article is about a man named Shengbo who crossed Huan River in a dream, and someone gave Shengbo a jewel called Qionghun to eat.After Shengbo ate it, all the tears he cried turned into pearls and jade.After Shengbo woke up, he didn't dare to divination, because he had pearls and jade in his mouth, which is a funeral only after death, and this is probably an ominous dream!Three years later, Shengbo returned to the state of Zheng, and said to the people around him that he was afraid of death, so he dared not divination, but now it has been three years, it should be all right.I didn't want him to say this, and he died that night. Di Qing thought, "I don't want ancient books to record such absurd claims, but...the things that happened around me, aren't many of them very weird?" Looking around, he saw a few more words written next to the page. Comments, the font is dignified and majestic, but also with artistic conception. Those few words are, "Worthless to the heavens, why fear death?" Di Qing didn't know who wrote the comment, but he already thought of those persistent and affectionate eyes.If it weren't for such a person, I wouldn't be able to write such a mighty comment. Don't be ashamed of the sky, why be afraid of death! Di Qing stared at the seven characters for a long time before letting out a sigh of relief.After closing the book, thinking about Sheng Bo's dream, Di Qing only felt some vague thoughts in his mind, as if thinking of something important, but couldn't figure it out for a while. The bonfire was raging, and Di Qing was a little tired, so he slowly closed his eyes. The light of the fire gradually dimmed, as did the light of the stars, and the world fell into boundless silence.After an unknown amount of time, Di Qing suddenly opened his eyes and stood up, with sweat dripping from his forehead. He had a dream. A dream that made him palpitate! The dream is a grotto, the walls of the grotto are full of ancient paintings, he remembers being here, he has been here in a dream.He still remembered that those ancient paintings were supposed to depict faceless Buddha statues.可这次那些古画不是无面佛像，而是一团光！ 光芒极其艳丽，竟有七彩，光芒的下方，是苍茫的大地。 他见过这团光，但不是在梦中，是在永定陵彩云阁的那道石门上，他本来以为已经忘记，但梦中却是那么的清晰。 那团光，是什么意思？狄青梦中错愕间，突然见四壁起火，有五箭射来。 箭分五彩，是五色神箭，元昊的定鼎五色羽箭。狄青大惊，正要闪避时，霍然惊醒。将醒未醒之际，他听到了一个如天籁传来的声音，“来吧！” 狄青惊醒，眼角不停地跳动，甚至耳朵都在抽搐。 来吧，去哪里？ 他第四次听到了这个声音，陡然间脑海中有白光闪动，狄青心口痛楚，不知为何，想起叶知秋说过，“当很多佛传经典或咒文在无法流传下去的时候，佛就会将这些经典藏在一个地方……藏在一个极奇特的地方！” “佛将这些经典藏在一些人的意识深处，也就是藏在一些人的脑海中，以免经典失传。等到了时机成熟，神灵就会开启这些人的意识，取出这些经典流传于世。” 狄青身躯已颤抖，不解自己为何做梦都是和永定陵元昊有关？ 难道说，这些梦不过是日有所思，夜有所梦？ 陡然间又想到了种世衡的一句话，“听说伏藏自己也不见得知道自己是伏藏，要靠特定环境激发的。我听说，这种人总是在梦中得到启示……” 狄青身躯一颤，脑海中如紫电划过，额头滚滚汗水流淌，心中只有一个声音在叫喊，“我为什么总做这个怪梦，难道说……我是伏藏，我就是伏藏！那梦，是引导我去香巴拉吗？” 一念及此，思绪繁沓，不可遏制。 狄青霍然想到什么，伸手从怀中掏出五龙，见五龙幽幽沉沉，似有光芒流动。陡然抬头，晨光破晓，晓雾轻寒，原来……已天明。
