The four masters and disciples suppressed their inner fears and uneasiness, walking on thin ice along the way, taking every step carefully.
After walking for an hour, the gravel road under my feet was no longer the same as before.
Instead, there is a smoother, hard road that looks like stone but not stone.
In addition to shock and disbelief, several people couldn't find any more appropriate adjectives. When had they ever seen such a road?
Even the road to Luoyang Palace was only paved with stone slabs, but the road in front of him was a whole without any connection.
The sturdy men dressed as farmers in twos and threes on both sides of the road made the well-informed Sima Hui's legs weak.
Although these people are all dressed in linen, some are herding cattle, some are chatting, and some are collecting firewood.
But those pairs of cold eyes kept scanning them.
The bulging muscles under the clothes and the murderous aura on the body are like wild beasts. Once they find something abnormal, they will open their bloody mouths and tear the enemy into pieces.
Chirp...!
Chirp...!
As the sound of several birds chirping came from the mountains and forests, the big men immediately looked away, each busy with what they were doing, and stopped paying attention to the others, as if they had not seen them.
When Sima Hui saw this, his throat rolled, and he thought to himself, Sure enough, the birds singing in the mountains were the code words used by these people to convey information and issue orders. Although he had guessed it before, he was extremely shocked when he actually saw it.
No longer stopping now, he called the three disciples beside him who were already sweating profusely and continued moving forward.
The valley ahead is getting narrower and narrower, with the narrowest point being only one or two feet.
Two big mountains on the left and right stand like heavenly gates, and behind the left mountain there is a larger peak extending into the valley. At a glance, it seems that there is no way forward, and this is the end of the valley.
However, the road underfoot did not stop, extending deeper into the valley.
Sima Wei not only sighed: "This is really a dangerous pass that is rare in the world!
With this barrier in place, no matter how many troops you have, there is no way you can pass through it smoothly. "
Stepping into the pass, there are more tough men in disguise here, and they can be seen everywhere.
Ding……!
Boom...!
Waves of music came from the valley, the music was melodious and melodious.
It feels like you are placed among peaceful mountains and rivers, making you peaceful.
"Good music, good piano skills!"
Sima Hui listened for a moment and was overwhelmed by the beautiful sound of the piano. He had forgotten their situation at this time and was filled with admiration.
"With such a piece of music and such skill on the piano, the person who plays it must have reached the level of a master. Disciples, there must be a great scholar hiding here. Quickly follow me to pay homage to him."
In ancient times, there was a lot of emphasis on playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the six arts of a gentleman!
Those who know these skills are all rare scholars in the world.
However, the person who can master the piano skills to such a level must be a great scholar in this world.
Sima Hui liked to make friends with elegant people all his life. Now he was walking faster and faster, and Shi Tao and the three people behind him could hardly keep up. !
Several people passed through the 100-meter-long valley mouth, and their eyes suddenly opened up.
What you see is an endless plain, about five miles wide from east to west, and unknown how deep it is from north to south.
A hundred meters ahead, two hundred-year-old peach trees, one on the left and one on the right, were covered with red flowers. On a boulder several feet high, there were three big characters carved with flying dragons and phoenixes.
Letter, "Peach Blossom Spring"
A path of steps on the right leads to the mountainside a hundred meters high.
There were several huts there, and smoke was rising from the cooking pots, and the sound of the piano came from here.
Sima Wei looked around and couldn't help but sigh: "This is really a paradise on earth."
Shi Tao and the other three also nodded repeatedly. They were already fascinated by the scenery here.
Climbing all the way up the stone steps feels like a pilgrimage in everyone's heart!
However, when they came outside the hut, Sima Hui was dumbfounded.
Shi Tao and the other three opened their mouths in disbelief!
The hidden scholar who was originally in their hearts, the person with master-level piano skills, was just a little girl in her teens.
Wearing a beige plain gauze dress with expensive hair accessories on her head, she behaves elegantly and moves smoothly, like a fairy boy in the sky.
In the courtyard, there were also young men in white robes, aged between 13 and 14 years old, dancing with swords.
The exquisiteness of his swordsmanship made Sima Wei, who had witnessed the swordsmanship of many famous masters, couldn't help but applaud and praise him in amazement.
He wanted to go up and talk, but he couldn't bear to interrupt the pair of fairy boys playing the piano and dancing the sword. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and just sat cross-legged on the spot, listening quietly and watching carefully...!
"Grandpa, we have a visitor."
I don't know how long it took, but with a cry, the four masters and disciples who had been listening in rapt attention were awakened.
It turned out that the sound of the piano had stopped at this time, and the little girl playing the piano was running happily towards the house, while the young man dancing the sword was holding a sword in one hand, right in front of them.
Following the little girl's shout, an old man in green clothes in his fifties came out of the house.
This man has a ruddy complexion and although he has white hair on his head, he is in high spirits.
When Sima Wei saw this person, he hurriedly stood up and bowed from a distance, his expression extremely respectful.
"Junior Sima Wei, courtesy name, moral conduct, greeting sir!
The younger generation didn't know that the master was here to perform religious activities, so he broke in rashly, hoping to pray for forgiveness. "
In his opinion, the person in front of him can train a pair of grandchildren so well. He not only knows the piano skills, but also is proficient in swordsmanship. He must be a great scholar in the world.
However, when he finished speaking, the old man in front of him was a little stunned.
Then he laughed!
Said: "The guest misunderstood, even though the little boy has read a few books.
But, how can I bear the title of "Mr."
Guests don’t need to be polite, please come inside! "
Several people came to a pavilion and sat down one after another.
Sima Hui was sizing up the old man, and the old man was also sizing up Sima Wei.
Shi Tao and other juniors are also watching each other!
"This place was originally a viewing place built on a whim by a young man. Sometimes he never visited it once a year. It was very simple. Guests who have come from afar, I think you are thirsty, so please have a bowl of water!" "
"I don't dare. I have rushed into your place. Please forgive me for disturbing you."
Sima Hui took the water and was already thirsty and tired after walking such a long way.
After drinking a bowl of water, I immediately felt refreshed and regained a lot of energy. Then I cupped my fists at the old man and asked, "May I ask my father-in-law what your name is?"
Hearing this, the old man looked towards the north with a respectful expression! A look of remembrance on his face!
He said slowly: "The original surname of the second child is Qin Mingzheng, because the Banzhen barbarians in Bajun rebelled against the Han, and the second son, daughter, and daughter-in-law of the younger brother all died in the war.
I fled with a pair of young grandchildren. When my grandfather and grandson were about to starve to death, I was fortunately saved by my young master.
Master Meng did not give up and gave me the word "Yi" and named me Qin Yi. The young master said that with the word "Yi", our family can live a comfortable life from now on. "
As the old man Jun Yi spoke, he pointed to the girl who had already run away to read a book and introduced to Sima Wei: "That is my granddaughter, Nian Fang is nine years old. The young master gave her the name Qin Wuyou.
Because Wuyou loved learning, the young master taught her chess, calligraphy, painting, and poetry recitation.
He then pointed to the young man who was talking quietly with Shi Tao and others. This was his grandson Qin Wushang, who was now fourteen years old. Wushang liked to dance with guns and swords since he was a child, so the young master taught him martial arts and military skills. "
Speaking of his grandson and granddaughter, Qin Yi showed a happy smile on his face. After the young master's careful instruction, his grandson's martial arts skills have improved day by day, and his art of war has not fallen behind.
Granddaughter Wuyou is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has great literary talent.
Sima Hui looked at Qin Wuyou and Qin Wushang, and finally gave only two words of evaluation: "Genius...!"
While several people were talking, there was a sound of rustling and tinkling sounds coming from outside the courtyard.
Sima Wei listened to the sound and knew that it was the sound of soldiers wearing armor colliding with their bodies when walking.
And with those steady and powerful footsteps, the person coming must be a warrior general on the battlefield.
as expected!
A moment later, a tall man with a height of two meters and a burly build, wearing black armor and looking like a general walked in.
The feeling of oppression is full, and the murderous aura on his body makes people feel as if they are in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
And the dozen or so soldiers who followed behind were covered in black armor, with long swords hanging from their waists, and even their faces were wearing hollow masks connected to their helmets, and their bodies were wrapped in iron armor. They also had murderous intentions.
From a distance, people dare not look directly...!
Sima Hui looked at the people getting closer and closer, feeling a little panicked!
Such a proud and powerful general is much stronger than the most elite troops in the imperial court.
And what kind of person is he who can control these arrogant soldiers?
He rushed into this place with his disciples. If the other party came here because of him, then the four of him and his disciples would be in bad luck.
The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became. My fists were so clenched that they turned white, and my nails were almost embedded in my flesh without feeling anything!
Qin Yi was also looking at the person coming. He didn't understand why this person brought troops here?
This morning, the young master said he wanted to retreat to study something, so he went to the back mountain alone. Only then did he have time to take his two grandchildren to visit this hut that he had not been to for more than a year.
Now that the young master had just left, this man came to him with armor and soldiers, fully armed, which made him think of a terrible thing!
Could it be...could it be...!
…mutiny….
