There is no end in heaven and earth, and human life is like frost. -----Cao Zhi of the Three Kingdoms, "Two Poems to Farewell the Ying Family"
It is said that Chen Long learned the news about Liu Qian. Although he was heartbroken, he still decided to fight for life or death. Finally, he mustered up the courage to meet the white-haired Liu Qian with the beauty Zhen Mi. In addition to being sad, Chen Long mentioned that one day he could return to the future, be young again, and renew his relationship. Liu Qian ignited a glimmer of hope and could finally face Chen Long calmly.
Chen Long persuaded Liu Qian to move to Lingling temporarily. Liu Qian was hesitant, but unexpectedly Zhen Mi interrupted and said she wanted to go, with a hint of urging in her words. Liu Qian secretly glanced at Zhen Mi and saw her beautiful eyes looking at Chen Long, like gurgling autumn water, and she couldn't help but feel thoughtful.
Chen Long was overjoyed when he heard Zhen Mi's words. He quickly said: "Since Miss Zhen and Mrs. Deng agree, I can set off at any time and personally escort you two to Lingling."
Now Liu Qian had nothing to say and had no choice but to agree. He forced a smile and said: "Mi'er, you write a letter to your father first. Brother Chen still has things to do here, so there is no need to rush to Lingling."
Zhen Mi also felt a little anxious, and a slight blush rose on her face, returning to her dignified and elegant look. She had received a ladylike education since she was a child, and this was the first time she fought for something for herself. As for what she fought for, she was hazy.
Chen Long finally got to see his old friend, and he no longer wanted to be separated from Liu Qian for fear of losing him again. He said shamelessly: "I have nowhere to stay in Zhaojiazhuang. Now I have to meet my grandfather's old friend. I would like to fulfill my filial piety. Can I stay here temporarily? A one-story room is enough."
Zhen Mi's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she didn't dare to make the decision. She just looked at her grandmother, with expectation in her beautiful eyes. In Liu Qian's heart, she really couldn't let go of Chen Long. After missing him for forty years, how could she be willing to be separated like this? Then he saw Zhen Mi looking at him eagerly, nodding and saying: "Mi'er, go ahead and make arrangements." Zhen Mi walked away dignified and graceful like Feng Lunyin, but her heart was full of joy.
Chen Long rode back to Zhaojiazhuang and told his master that Zhending's relatives insisted on letting him live in Zhending for a while, and he planned to go back and forth to Zhending every day to learn skills. Of course Tong Yuan had no objection, but Tong Feifei was very unhappy, so Zhao Yun quickly explained. Tong Feifei's mood improved when she heard that Chen Long came to study every day during the day. Chen Long wanted Tong Feifei and Zhao Yun to be a couple, but he was afraid that Tong Feifei would like him and ruin his relationship with Zhao Yun, so he pretended not to see Feifei's dissatisfaction and went back to Zhending.
In a small side room of Zhen Mansion, Liu Qian and Zhen Mi made Chen Long's bed with their own hands and folded the quilt flatly. Seeing Zhen Mi's happy look, Liu Qian took Zhen Mi's little hand to her bedroom.
Zhen Mi helped Liu Qian finish the work and poured her a cup of tea. Liu Qian raised her glass and said, "Mi'er, you have grown up. When you were a child, you were not even willing to step out of the door, but now you are willing to go to zero, thousands of miles away." Mausoleum.”
Zhen Mi didn't know that Liu Qian was testing her affection, so she said happily: "Mi'er saw that grandma looked better after talking to Brother Chen, so naturally she wanted you to spend more time with Brother Chen. Moreover, Mi'er also wanted to go Look at this world. I heard that the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou are causing a lot of trouble. Lingling is far away from here. Maybe it’s a peaceful world. With Brother Chen’s protection, we can sit back and relax!"
Liu Qian saw that Zhen Mi's beautiful eyes always shined every time she talked about Chen Long, and she thought to herself that since fate had already determined it, let it take its course. She is old and useless. If her biological granddaughter wants to love someone, no matter who he is, let him love her.
Liu Qian exhaled a thick breath, as if a big stone was removed from her chest, and she was finally freed from the pain of not being able to accompany Chen Long to grow old. Since the reality is already so cruel, I cannot fulfill my promise with Brother Long, and my life is about to come to an end. From now on, I can get together with Brother Long as much as possible, and stay together through thick and thin, and let go of this lifelong longing.
If Zhen Mi falls in love with Chen Long, she must convince Brother Long to accept Zhen Mi. Not only because Zhen Mi can accompany Brother Long on her behalf, but also because Brother Long will definitely bring Zhen Mi happiness throughout her life, thus relieving Zhen Mi from the fate of being sentenced to death by Cao Pi.
Thinking of this, Liu Qian's mood improved, she talked and laughed with Zhen Mi, and the grandfather and grandson looked forward to Lingling together.
Suddenly, more than half a month has passed. Chen Long and Zhao Yun's Seven Coiled Snake Detectives have begun to take shape, and Chen Long's primary internal skills have also made great progress. Zhao Yun finally formally agreed to Chen Long's invitation. In private, the two had a life-long friendship, and Zhao Yun recognized Chen Long as his lord. Only Tong Feifei, a beauty who usually loves to talk and laugh, seems to be a little more worried.
Every time Chen Long practiced, he used an ordinary steel gun. As he became more proficient in the moves, he felt more and more that the steel gun in his hand lacked spirituality, and it seemed that the moves could never be used to their full potential. The gun energy that Chen Long wanted most has never been able to succeed.
Chen Long couldn't help but feel itchy when he thought about the origin of Zhao Yun's Stormy Pear Blossom Gun, the secret realm of Baishi. With the strength of himself and Zhao Yun, it is certainly not a problem to break into the secret realm safely, but I don't know if I will be lucky enough to obtain the magic weapon.
Zhao Yun sighed when he saw Chen Long wielding the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Spear all day long. He had already understood what he meant, and took the initiative to say: "Wen Long, I have learned about the same marksmanship. As long as you practice diligently, you will be successful. Nothing will happen to you. Why not explore the secret realm of White Rock?”
Chen Long was overjoyed when he heard this, and Tong Feifei was also clamoring to go. Everyone agreed to set off early tomorrow morning. Chen Long calculated the time and found that it would take about ten days. Remembering that there had been no news about Zhang Ning, he dropped everything and went straight to Zhaojiazhuang.
According to the development of official history, Zhang Jiaojun can still sustain it for a while. But Chen Long was afraid that if history had been rewritten, and something happened to Zhang Ning, he would have to regret it for the rest of his life. Found Zhou Buyi in the village, Zhou Buyi called Gao Lan, and the three of them sat down at a small tea table in the open air. The surroundings were very quiet.
As soon as he sat down, Gao Lan cupped his hands and shouted in a low voice: "Lord." Chen Long was overjoyed when he heard this. After returning the gift, he asked Zhou Buji: "Has Yuan Zhi told General Gao Lan?" Zhou Buji nodded affirmatively: "Brother Huan is very skilled in martial arts. I have appointed Gao Lan as your deputy commander for you."
Chen Long chuckled and said, "There's no problem with that. From now on, we will be a family through thick and thin." Gao Lan couldn't help but feel happy when he saw that Chen Long had no airs about being a master. He was glad that he was following the right person.
Chen Long continued: "Tomorrow I will go to the Baishi Secret Realm with Zhao Yun to explore the secrets. It will take about ten days. I am worried about Guangzong's situation. Yuan Zhi, you will go back to Guangzong tomorrow to inquire about military intelligence reports. Huanzhi, you will go too. , Yuan Zhi's safety will be left to you." After saying that he was worried, he added: "Huanzhi, we are still officials of the Han Dynasty in name, and our true relationship with the Yellow Turban is top secret. Only a few senior officials of the Yellow Turban know about me. Identity. Don’t say more to anyone, do you understand?”
Gao Lan nodded sternly and said: "My lord, Yuan Zhi has told me about this interest a long time ago. Please don't worry, lord."
Chen Long let go of his worries and asked them and Zhao Ya to take leave before leaving with peace of mind. After riding back to Zhending Zhen's Mansion, he said goodbye to Liu Qian and Zhen Mi. Zhen Mi knew that her martial arts skills were not good and she couldn't go with Chen Long, so she felt a little depressed. Chen Long's heart moved and he wrote down the Qinggong movement techniques on the bamboo slips, thinking that if Peach Blossom could learn it, Zhen Mi could also learn it. Zhenfu happily took it and said, "Brother, I wish you had given it to me earlier. Then I can go with him this time."
Chen Long smiled and said: "Mi'er, if you practice Qinggong well, big brother will teach you other self-defense techniques. In the future, you can also fly over walls and punish rapes and eliminate evil, okay?" Zhen Mi put down her reserve and laughed heartily. At the moment, Chen Long said goodbye to Liu Qian and Zhen Mi and rode back to Zhaojiazhuang.
The next morning, everyone had breakfast together at Zhaojiazhuang. Zhou Buyi and Gao Lan set off straight for Guangzong. Zhao Yun, Chen Long, and Tong Feifei rode horses, each carrying dry food and water, and headed straight for Baishi Mountain in the northeast.
Baishi Mountain is about a hundred miles away from Zhending, but the road is rugged and difficult to navigate, with loops and winding mountain roads. They walked for two days and the towns were sparse, so the three of them had to sleep in the open air. Fortunately, Zhao Yun knew the way well and finally reached a place deep in the mountains on the third day. Zhao Yun pointed to a few huge white rocks exposed on the top of the mountain in the distance and said: "Baishishan is here!"
The three of them saw that the jungle below Baishi Mountain was covered with white rocks, and only the top of the mountain was covered with white rocks. They couldn't help but marvel at the miraculous craftsmanship of nature. The three of them dismounted their horses and let the horses rest while gnawing grass. They walked to the edge of a cliff, where they saw a patch of green trees under the cliff, the faint sound of running water, and a beautiful scenery. Chen Long asked: "Zilong, how is the scope of this secret realm calculated?"
Chen Long picked up a dead branch and drew on the ground while saying: "With Baishi Mountain as the center and a radius of dozens of miles, it is an uninhabited area, which can be regarded as the scope of the secret realm. But there are a few places that are very special. Generally, It is considered a real secret realm." He drew a shallow ditch in the ground and said: "This is the Bailugou Canyon ten miles east of Baishi Mountain. It is deep and long, and poisonous areas gather. My rainstorm pear blossoms are in this ditch. Proceeds.”
Then he drew a circle on the other side and said: "This is a cave at the end of Bailugou. Legend has it that it goes straight into the ground and is unfathomable. My brother and I didn't go in last time."
Then, another winding curve was drawn on the north side: "This is a primitive jungle with tall masson pine trees. Because the trees are so dense, there is almost no light in the jungle. It is called a black pine forest. There are also many beasts and venomous snakes here." No one has ever dared to enter this settlement, and it is also regarded as a forbidden area by many treasure hunters."
Seeing that Zhao Yun had explained clearly, Chen Long nodded and said: "The primitive jungle is too dangerous. Bailu Gou Zilong has explored it again. Let's explore this cave. How about it?"
Before the three people came here, they prepared a lot of climbing tools such as long ropes. According to Chen Long's modern perspective, as long as there are long ropes to tie several people in a string, it is not difficult to drill a cave and there will be no danger. Chen Long found a few more pine branches, cut them into the shape of wooden sticks, cut a piece of rope and wrapped it tightly around one end of the torch, covered it with pine oil, and made several torches. Tong Feifei saw that Chen Long could make these things easily and effortlessly, and couldn't help but marvel at Chen Long's ability to survive in the wild.
The horse passed by a sunny hillside covered with grass. Chen Long asked everyone to dismount, found many branches, and taught everyone to cut them into wooden stakes and nail them to the hillside, gradually forming a fence. Chen Long drove a few horses into the fence, sealed the gap, looked at the original stable, clapped his hands and said: "This way, no matter how long we leave, the horses will not starve to death, nor will they run out. "
Tong Feifei said curiously: "The fence is not very high. Can't the horse get out as soon as it jumps?"
Chen Long explained with a smile: "Horses have grass to eat, so they won't jump around. Moreover, horses have spirituality. Because they have been restrained by the stables since they were young, they think they are insurmountable when they see the stables. This is their nature."
Although Tong Feifei nodded, he still smiled and said: "Junior brother, if we come back and the horses are gone, I will punish you by carrying me back to Zhaojiazhuang." Chen Long said quickly: "Senior Brother Yun should carry it, I think you are too heavy. "The child was so angry that his orifices were filled with smoke, and he was stomping his feet.
A few people were fooling around, carrying equipment on their backs, and walked into the mountains. On the way, we cut roads through mountains and filled bridges when encountering water, and finally arrived at the entrance of the cave before dark.
The cave entrance is halfway up a hill. There is no grass growing within a hundred meters around it, and an oval-shaped cave entrance stands out. Chen Long carefully inspected the rocks beside the cave and saw that the rocks were loose and there was no soil. He understood the reason why no grass could grow. He couldn't help but secretly worry that if the cave was shaken, it would probably collapse.
When night came, Chen Long lit a torch and went a little deeper from the entrance of the cave. Seeing that the entrance was dry and flat, several people prepared to rest at the entrance of the cave. The torches gradually went out, and several people were drowsy. Suddenly, inside the deep cave, there were several green lights flickering, like fireflies floating in the night. Tong Feifei was curious and was about to go deeper when Chen Long grabbed him and said, "It's a wolf!"
