Changle Floating Life

Chapter 51

Just as Gu Su and Gu Tingrang jumped off Luofu Mountain, Ye Jianqing and the others also rushed to the foot of the mountain.Although Er Gu left half a month earlier than them, it took longer because of the long detour to the south.

The mountain is still covered with snow all the year round as before, and there is no one inhabited.Lan Shan remembered that when Su Ying brought her here when she was a child, the mountain was so high that people could break their necks.Although I have grown up now, the snow mountain still looks so awe-inspiring and inviolable.

Xuefeng is straight up and down, steep and abnormal.Ye Jianqing had no idea, and said frowningly: "How do we go up?" Lan Shan thought to himself, going up is not a problem, but going down is really a problem. "Let's go to Grandma Xiang to discuss it." After identifying the direction, Lan Shan took Ye Jianqing's abandoned horse up the mountain on foot.

Different from the small path that Er Gu took, what the two of them walked was the steps with exposed rocks.The steps meandered all the way up, covered with fine ice edges, as if someone had cleaned them specially.

The cold wind blows, and the jet turns into fog.Not long after the two climbed, their eyebrows and hair were covered with a layer of hoarfrost.At noon, Lanshan looked up and saw a pine forest halfway up the mountain, happily urging: "Hurry up, hurry up!"

A wooden house is built in the middle of the pine forest, with smoke curling from the roof, and the aroma of rice noodles in the wind.The two walked to the door and saw a huge broom leaning against the door panel, covered with snow flakes.Lanshan was about to jump up and knock on the door, but the door opened automatically, and she fell inside the door with a "plop", falling into the mud like a dog.

"Where is this little thief from? Tell me your name." An extremely old voice came from behind the earthen stove. "Grandma Xiang, it's me... woo woo..." Lan Shan covered half of his face, and was helped up by Ye Jianqing.A hunched old woman stood up behind the stove, holding a pair of pokers in her hand, and looked at her with a confused expression.

"Grandma, I'm Bai Lan, you forgot." Xiao Lanshan felt aggrieved.The old woman's nose was almost close to her face, she stayed there for a while, and then suddenly realized: "The girl has grown so big, she was only this tall last time." Lan Shan introduced Ye Jianqing to her again.Grandma Xiang heard that he was Pei Yongzhen's grandson, she squinted her eyes with a smile, quickly took his hand, looked it over carefully, and sighed: "Your grandma was still wearing diapers at that time, it was me Pulling the big one with one hand..."

"..." Ye Jianqing was shocked when he heard that she was over 100 years old, and she turned out to be the nanny of her grandmother.

The old woman named Chen Xiang extinguished the fire in the stove, took out a pot of bacon and side dishes from the cauldron, and greeted the two of them with a plate of white steamed buns.The two of them were really tired and hungry, and they stuffed it into their mouths without washing their hands.Granny Xiang smiled until the wrinkles on her face turned into dried chrysanthemums: "Eat first, I cleaned up the mountain road that I didn't finish sweeping in the morning." She said and walked to the door.

How can a centenarian be allowed to sweep the floor? "I'll come..." Seeing that she was hunched over and old, Ye Jianqing wanted to help her, but Xiao Lanshan grabbed her tightly.The girl's mouth was full of steamed buns, and she said disrespectfully, "Listen to me, you can't do it, don't make trouble. Let's talk when you're full."

Not long after, there was a "swipe" sound of snow sweeping outside the door.Ye Jianqing bit the hot steamed bun, feeling a little worried and curious, walked to the door and looked, the steamed bun fell from his mouth.

In the vast snow-capped mountains, there is only a gray stone step connecting to the sky.A small figure floated in mid-air, waving a big broom to roll up the snow and fog all over the sky.Where people and brooms walked, traces of steps quickly emerged from under the snow.

Ye Jianqing was dumbfounded.This old woman not only walks on the steep mountain road like a flat ground, but also can use a broom that is taller than herself.One must know that just now he and Xiaolanshan were able to climb halfway up the mountain, and they fell so many times that their faces were almost flattened.

"I said don't worry, Granny Xiang is much better than you."

Ye Jianqing turned to Lan Shan and asked, "Is this person really over 100 years old?" Lan Shan patted his choked chest after eating and drinking, and began to tell him the story of Chen Xiang.When Ye Jianqing heard that this woman had served Bai Yansheng and Qing Jun, she couldn't help but click her tongue.

The place they were in was a wooden shack.The ground is covered with thick thatch and pine branches, pine wood walls and ceiling, a large stone stove and chimney, and a wooden bed covered with wolf fur.Halfway through the story, Granny Xiang came back and left the broom at the door. Except for a little bit of snow on her feet, there was not even a drop of sweat on her forehead.

She closed the door, put out a pot of charcoal fire after clearing the dishes, called everyone to sit together, and said gently: "Tell me, what happened when you came here?" Lan Shan asked her: "Grandma, Has the leader ever come back?" Granny Xiang pointed her fingers and said, "That kid Gu Su hasn't come back for four years, and he went down the mountain in the year your grandma sent the letter. Is your grandma still in good health?"

Ye Jianqing felt sore, and said in a low voice, "Grandmother, my grandma passed away four years ago."

"Ah..." Granny Xiang was stunned.Seeing that Ye Jianqing's eyes were red, Lan Shan whispered something into Granny Xiang's ear.The old woman's complexion changed, and finally she sighed, comforting Ye Jianqing and said: "Your grandma is that hot-tempered. There is no room for a grain of sand in her eyes, and she cannot bear a little grievance. It is the emperor who is too bad. Good boy, don't be sad .”

She told Ye Jianqing not to be sad, but she kept crying.Thinking of the girl he raised with his own hands who died before him, he felt that the world was disgusting, and he felt an inescapable feeling of obsession all over his body.

Lan Shan said a few words of relief, and then asked, "Mother-in-law, where is that Gu Tingrang? Has he been around here recently?"

Mentioning this person who appeared inexplicably, the wrinkles on Granny Xiang's face opened and closed: "That year he said he would come to worship the mountain, but I told him that the leader was not around and told him to come back in a few years. He didn't listen and insisted on breaking into the mountain. , punched my old lady so badly. Why, did he come running again?"

Ye Jianqing and Lan Shan looked at each other, and said happily: "Grandma, is there only one way up the mountain, then we'll just sit here and wait for the rabbit. The leader will definitely come here."

"This..." Granny Xiang pondered for a while, and said, "The leader may not just..." Her words stopped abruptly at this point, and she froze silently.Lanshan still wanted to ask, but Grandma Xiang suddenly got up, opened the door of the wooden house and looked out.

"Come with me." Granny Xiang picked up the big broom and walked out of the wooden house.Ye Jianqing and Lan Shan chased him out and stood on the steps.

Everything is silent in all directions, only the mountain wind whistling, blowing off a handful of snow on the century-old pine trees, making a "click" sound.

"What's wrong, Granny Xiang?" Lan Shan asked suspiciously.Granny Xiang said cautiously: "The leader may have already entered the valley." "What?!" Lan Shan exclaimed, "Where did the leader go down from?"

Granny Xiang raised an arm, signaling her to be quiet, and said: "There is a cliff at the back of the mountain, which is a shortcut. Below the cliff is the pine forest in the valley. The leader may have gone down from there." "Then let's go quickly." "..." "No!" Grandma Xiang interrupted her: "The cliff is so high, and the clouds and mist below are shrouded in it. If there is a mistake, if it doesn't fall into the woods, it will be smashed to pieces."

Ye Jianqing and Lanshan's faces were like gold paper in an instant. "Besides," Grandma Xiang sighed, "I'm afraid the leader is competing with that Gu Tingrang, so don't get in the way."

She has lived in the mountains for a long time, and she is familiar with all the smells and sounds in the mountains.From just now, the entire mountain was trembling, and it was clear that something big had happened.

Ye Jianqing and Lan Shan were dubious.At this moment, a large group of mountain birds suddenly flew in the forest, screaming strangely, and a thick layer of white mist filled the higher peaks, like a sea tide.

Granny Xiang called to the two of them: "Hurry up and go down the mountain." "Huh?" With her belt on, she stepped on the stone steps and rushed down the mountain like flying.

Ye Jianqing was still standing there, too late to react.Granny Xiang turned her head and shouted to him: "Hurry up, Xuefeng is about to collapse."

Until then, the ground under his feet felt the vibration faintly.Ye Jianqing never knew what "Avalanche" was, but seeing that Granny Xiang looked like she was facing a formidable enemy, she had no choice but to use "Hundred Steps, Thousand Tracks" to catch up to the two of them.While chasing after him, he asked, "Grandmother, what's going on? Is it an earthquake?" Lanshan was caught in the hands of the old woman, and tears burst out of the corners of his eyes: "Woo, God is against us too. Crazy when we came…”

Indeed, Chen Xiang has lived here all her life, and there has never been an avalanche in Luofu Mountain.

If they have the knowledge of modern people, they will know that avalanches are most likely to occur on slopes between 25° and 50°.The peaks here are steep, most places go straight up and down, and the slope can reach [-] degrees, so it is not easy to produce enough thick snow.

Therefore, the avalanche they encountered was man-made.

Granny Xiang didn't have time to explain, she just said to the two of them: "Listen, it's important to save your life, we'll talk about the rest later."

This is bad luck!Ye Jianqing couldn't help but glance back, only to see that the lump of snow and fog on the mountain had dropped a lot, and it was not far from the pine forest on the mountainside where they were just now.Out of curiosity, Ye Jianqing slowed down.

It seems that the heroic spirit of Luofu Mountain showed its power, urging the internal force to burst the white robe on his body.Layers of snow whizzed down, beautiful and shocking.But before he could sing and worship the divine power of heaven and earth, all the pine forest cabins were swallowed up, and a huge wave of air came oppressing behind them.

All kinds of rocks and pine trees fall from the sky like rain.Granny Xiang held Xiao Lanshan between her arms, and shouted at Ye Jianqing: "Be careful behind you!" He is biased.A huge pine tree that couldn't be hugged by three people was uprooted, passed by the three of them, and slid down the mountain.

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die, it's going to happen to the gods and the little ghosts!" Lan Shan was startled and frightened, and could not stop cursing: "Damn it, I will never go to Luofu Mountain again, nothing good will happen..."

The snow behind him was like a ferocious beast with its teeth and claws open, and the dust and snow flakes splashed into the sky made the three of them suffocate.Granny Xiang looked down the mountain, and there was still some distance from the stable mountain, and the devil behind her was chasing after her.She threw Lanshan towards Ye Jianqing, freed up one hand, turned to face Xueluo's direction, and danced the broom, unexpectedly producing a burst of divine power.

Ye Jianqing had just discovered when she was watching her sweeping the snow that she was using the two moves of "Improper" and "Contesting in the Valley" in the ninth layer of the Cold River Guying Sword.The rapier was replaced by a huge broom, and the attack was weakened and the defense was obvious in the move.Granny Xiang stood up against the snow boulders and air waves brought by the avalanche, and the huge pressure rebounded, causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing that Xue Lang had stagnated slightly, she immediately turned around to chase after Ye Jianqing and Xiao Lanshan.The white demon seemed to have a spirituality. Seeing her turn and run away, the white demon also chased after her.The three of them were covered in snow flakes and ran away desperately.Granny Xiang pointed to a protruding headland not far away, and said loudly, "Go there and take shelter."

As she spoke, she turned around and held the broom in both hands, and with the spirit of "how can you sweep the world if you don't sweep a house", she swung with all her strength towards the snow waves several feet high.

Ye Jianqing led Xiaolanshan to jump down the headland with no time to spare.Before landing, the two were instantly buried by the icy snow waves behind them and lost consciousness.

In the darkness, I don't know how long it has passed.Ye Jianqing only felt that his body was as cold as a zombie, and his heart was torn into pieces.Above his head, there are two groups of warm red lights watching him all the time. Wherever he goes, the red lights will follow him.

At first he was terrified, because the red light was like the eyes of a beast, watching his every move.But gradually, he got used to it and found that the red light didn't mean to hurt him.Instead, Ye Jianqing stopped on purpose and reached out to it...

The sound of someone talking and walking started in the ear. "Why isn't he awake yet?" The noisy female voice sounded like Xiao Lanshan.

This girl is really lucky.Ye Jianqing sighed in his heart, and slowly opened his eyes.

A soft oil lamp was burning in the room.He was lying on a bed with a homemade bed net over his head.He tried his best to tilt his head, and saw Xiao Lanshan dozing on his stomach next to the bed. "You..." He opened his mouth and shouted, almost scared to death by the hoarse voice.Lan Shan woke up and turned around, rubbed his eyes, and said with great joy: "You, you, you, you, you are awake."

Seeing Ye Jianqing struggling to get up, she quickly helped him up and said, "I'll get you the medicine." Only then did Ye Jianqing notice the smell of medicine in the room, and the decoration here is simple, it looks like a small farmhouse Abandon.

Lanshan brought a bowl of warm medicinal soup from the small stove simmering outside the house.After Ye Jianqing took it, he felt that the chest tightness was relieved, so he asked in a hoarse voice, "Where is this? How long have I been sleeping?" Lan Shan said, "It's a village thirty miles away from Luofu Mountain. It's been almost a month."

"Huh?" Ye Jianqing was momentarily stunned.No wonder he felt that the bones were lying in pain.

Xiao Lanshan wiped away tears and said, "I thought you died young."

"..." Ye Jianqing looked at the bed curtain with white eyes, and after a while suddenly remembered something: "Who rescued us? Where is Granny Xiang?"

"Grandma Xiang..." Xiao Lanshan flattened her mouth, and the tears she had just wiped fell down again: "Grandma Xiang...she died in order to save us... she was frozen into an iceman when she dug it out..."

When Chen Xiang was found on the headland, her body and the broom behind her were frozen together, turning into a huge ice and snow sculpture.She still maintained the "Eternal Green" posture in the Hanjiang Guying Sword before her death, using her body as a barrier to weaken the power of the avalanche and protect the two people under the headland.

Ye Jianqing felt his world spinning for a while, his eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness again.

When he woke up again, the sky was bright, the candles in the room had been turned off, and there seemed to be many people outside the room, with the neighing of war horses and the clanging of armor.Lan Shan was standing at the door talking to a man. After sensing the movement, the two rushed in together, almost cracking the door frame.

Relying on his long legs and great strength, the man took a few steps to get under the bed and knelt down: "Governor of Youyun Xu Shichen, by His Majesty's decree, I invite the Marquis of Anning to return to Beijing."

The memory fragment was too long, and Ye Jianqing thought hard for a long time before he remembered that he was the commander of Pei Zhaoye's guards, so he smiled and said, "Master Xu has been promoted, congratulations."

Xiao Lanshan followed behind and hopped: "Young Master, you can't get out of bed yet..."

Ye Jianqing asked: "Is Your Majesty in good health? Where is the crown prince? Why do you want me to go back?"

Xu Shichen was stunned for a moment, scratched the top of his head, and said, "Two months ago, the first emperor passed away, and the crown prince has already ascended the throne."

So fast... Ye Jianqing was silent for a moment.Xiao Lanshan on the side winked at him like killing a chicken and wiping his neck.Ye Jianqing said to Xu Shichen: "Master Xu please avoid me for a moment, I have something to ask her."

Xu Shichen obediently withdrew.Ye Jianqing knew that there must be someone listening outside, but he couldn't care less, and asked, "What's going on, what about the leader? Who rescued us?" Lan Shan lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, listen first. I said."

It turned out that after the avalanche that day, the Orion at the foot of the mountain was the first to notice the abnormality.After the disaster was over, the hunters went up the mountain to search, found something strange on the headland, found Granny Xiang, and rescued the two of them.Lanshan could only get out of bed after lying down for more than ten days, and Ye Jianqing remained in a coma during this period.

A month later, the birds on the mountain passed the news.Gu Su said that the door has been cleared, and he wants to practice in seclusion. The Lingxiao Palace is temporarily closed, and he is not allowed to go up the mountain without orders.As she spoke, she took out a small note from Zou Baba from her purse. Ye Jianqing snatched it and saw that it was the teacher's handwriting. "Asuka also brought down an antidote pill. The leader asked me to take it for you. The poison on your body has been cured."

"Liar!" Ye Jianqing shouted.He threw off the quilt with all his strength and rolled to the ground.Lan Shan hurriedly came to help him, and he struggled to walk, his legs and feet were no longer his own. "What are you going to do?" Lan Shan lifted him up without much effort, as if lifting a light kite. "I'm going up the mountain to ask the leader to clarify." Ye Jianqing said stubbornly.

While supporting him to go out, Lan Shan persuaded him: "Don't climb it. This mountain is a hell..." Ye Jianqing didn't listen to her: "I'll go by myself, you can stay here "It's not that I don't want to accompany you," Lan Shan said, wanting to cry without tears, "You want to pursue, but the mountain is no longer there."

The mountain is no longer there, what do you mean?Ye Jianqing walked to the door and looked in the direction of Luofu Mountain.

The gray and white outline of Luofu Mountain is no longer the same as before.The mountains are still rolling, but the snow peak they once climbed has disappeared.

Ye Jianqing rubbed his eyes hard, he thought he was wrong.But when he opened his eyes again, the chopstick-like snow peak indeed disappeared out of thin air.

The surroundings of the house are full of soldiers of He Ji, and the huge village has been emptied by Governor You Yun.Seeing the two of them going out, Xu Shichen went up to meet them and explained, "Young Master, the ground has been shaking for several months. There is a fear of natural disasters. The nearby villages within a hundred miles have been temporarily evacuated. Let's leave quickly."

Lan Shan said: "Luofu Mountain used to have nine peaks, but after the avalanche, an earthquake occurred and one was flattened."

Rock without transfer?They fought until the mountains had no edges and the heavens and the earth were in harmony, but they didn't come out to explain.

Ye Jianqing lost all strength and collapsed on the ground.

All the snow in his life fell in that winter...
