Chapter 134: Encounter on a narrow road (continued)

To the east of Huayin, more than ten people were galloping on the official road. They were moving from east to west. The first one was about seventeen or eighteen years old. It was Liu Wenjing who met "hundred ghosts walking at night" a few days ago.

On that horrible night, Liu Wenjing was held hostage by a guy who called himself "Yuwen Wen", and his entourage was tied to the post hall pillar. That night, an army passed by the post station, but was frightened by the human-shaped paper cut stickers on the window. He was also tossed by the people pretending to be evil outside the post station and turned around and ran away.

Liu Wenjing and others were tied up for a whole night, and were rescued by the Sui army who came to investigate the next morning.

Later, I learned that the Zhou army attacked Guangtong Cang that night, and a fire burned the granary all over. Seeing that the war had spread near Weikou, Liu Wenjing, who was originally going to rush home, could only stay at the inn.

It is impossible to return to Luozhou. The troops stationed in Tongguan are facing a great enemy and do not let anyone pass the pass easily. Even if Liu Wenjing has the certificate of identity, it is not enough. The other party is afraid that someone should take over the pass within the Zhou army.

Liu Wenjing stayed at the post station for a few days, and later, the postmaster saw that the situation was not good, and was afraid that Zhou Jun would be involved in the accommodation, so he simply issued an order to expel the guest.

Liu Wenjing, who had no place to stay, could only go on the road with a ruthless to go on the road. It was rumored that Li Hun, the governor of Tongzhou, was buried and died. It was thought that the Zhou army was operating in Tongzhou, so it would definitely be impossible to go north of the Wei River.

His family is located in Fufeng County, Yongzhou, Wugong is located in the northwest of Chang'an. Because Chang'an was captured by the Zhou army, his family went to Jingzhou to avoid the war. Liu Wenjing originally left Luozhou and rushed to Jingzhou to join his family, but now his itinerary has been completely disrupted.

Originally, the route was not accessible, so he could cross the Yellow River to the north and go to Hedong to join his relatives and friends, but if he couldn't enter Tongguan, he could not cross the river from Jinkou. In order to prevent the Zhou army from seizing the ships, the official army had moved all the ships along the coast to Fenglingjin on the north bank of the Yellow River. He didn't even think about crossing the river privately.

If you venture through Guangtong Cang crossing the Wei River to Pujin, you will easily encounter the Zhou army. Liu Wenjing always feels that Yuwen Wen is mysterious. If this person takes a "surprise attack" on Pujin, he may be involved in the war, which is too dangerous.

It is not safe to walk. It is best to stay in a certain place and watch it happen, but Liu Wenjing couldn't find a place to stay.

Other inns along the official road no longer welcome outsiders, and they could only move in unless they were messengers from the government or the army. Liu Wenjing and his entourage wanted to stay in the surrounding villages, but they were rejected.

After sleeping in the wild for two nights, they were all snotted by the night wind. If this continues, they will get sick sooner or later. After weighing the pros and cons, Liu Wenjing simply led his entourage to Huayin, Huazhou.

He didn't want to live in Huayin City because it was too dangerous.

The Zhou army occupied Guanzhong, and the Sui army then came to the city. It was not known who would win and lose in the battle between the two sides, but the Zhou army that "Hundred Ghosts Walked Night" burned Guangtong Cang, and a discerning person could see that the situation of the Sui army in Guanzhong was not good.

If the food crisis cannot be eased, the Sui army will retreat. The tug-of-war between the two sides in Guanzhong will become protracted, and the city will become the focus of the competition between the two sides. Liu Wenjing feels that only fools will take refuge in the city at this time.

Small chaos hides in the city, big chaos hides from the country, and during the national war, sieges are common, and it is natural for the defenders to conquer the people in the city to go to the city to assist in defense. Liu Wenjing did not want to be conquered as a young and strong man to die in vain.

Even if you escape this level, there is another level that you cannot escape, that is food. These days, the city has been sieged for half a year or even a year. It’s okay that the defenders will suffer, but the people will suffer. It’s not surprising that when the food in the future is exhausted, it’s not surprising that they starve to death.

Of course, eating human flesh is OK, but Liu Wenjing didn't want to end that way. The reason why he went to Huayin was because there was a good place to go in the Huayin realm.

Near Huayin, a building appeared on the south side of the official road. It did not look like a powerful villa or a powerful fortress. The buildings were surrounded by green trees, and it seemed to be a temple rather than a courtyard.

This is the temple, the famous Xiyue Temple, a temple for emperors of all generations to worship the gods of Huashan, Xiyue.

The mountains and rivers are yang in the north. The so-called Huayin is the city located in the north of Huashan. During the Western Han Dynasty, it was the god who worshipped Mount Huashan.

The imperial court built Jiling Palace in Huayin's territory, but it was too close to the mountains, making it difficult to walk on the road and it was inconvenient for the emperor to lead the ministers to sacrifice.

The place that moved to the current state during the Eastern Han Dynasty was renamed Xiyue Temple. It is located near the official road from Chang'an to Luoyang. It is the building in front of Liu Wenjian.

Liu Wenjing has been to Xiyue Temple. Temple Zhu has some friendship with his father, so he plans to stay here for a while and then make plans after the situation is clear.

The group left the official road and walked towards Xiyue Temple along the road. There were many pine trees planted on both sides of the road, which were lush and green. This was planted by Zhou Taizu Yu Wen Tai, who ordered people to be planted at that time, with about 2,000 plants.

After the Yongjia Rebellion, the Xiyue Temple went through wars and renovated the dilapidated Xiyue Temple during the Yuan and Wei dynasties. During the Western Wei and Zhou dynasties, the Xiyue Temple had to be repaired several times before it became what it is today.

This is all due to the appearance of God Hua Yue.

In the third year of Baoding in the Zhou Dynasty, Guan Yong ordered Taibao Da Xiwu to worship the god Huayue. Because the temple was at the foot of the mountain, Da Xiwu felt that he was not sincere enough and decided to climb Mount Hua for sacrifice.

Huayue is tall and steep, with a wall of thousands of feet high. Da Xiwu, who is over 60 years old, leads several people, climbing vines and supporting branches and leaves to sleep at night on the top of the mountain. It is said that he meets an old man in his dream. The old man holds Da Xiwu's hand and praises his devoutness in worshiping the mountain god.

After waking up from the dream, Da Xiwu wondered if it was the God of Hua Yue who showed his spirit. Sure enough, soon after, the nectar dropped to relieve the drought in Guanzhong.

Since there are such benefits to worship Huayue, the incense of Xiyue Temple is naturally becoming more and more prosperous. Even when the Sui Kingdom was established, the Sui Emperor personally went to Xiyue Temple to worship, and repeatedly sent important officials to worship Huayue God.

But now there are frequent wars, and the popular Xiyue Temple in the past has become much quieter.

The group came to the temple but found the main entrance was open. wwuukashucm) Several servants were sweeping the floor. Liu Wenjing explained his purpose. The servants said that the temple was praying for you. He got off Ma Ang and came to the courtyard behind the main entrance.

What caught my eye were several stone tablets, which were of great origin. Liu Wenjing had heard his father explain it one by one.

The most famous stele is the stele repaired by Duan Weigeng, General Zhenyuan of Han. The inscription was written by Zhang Chang, the minister of Huangmen. Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi and Zhong Yao each engraved two thousand words behind this stele.

Zhong Yao was the founder of regular script. Later Wang Xizhi and others copied his calligraphy. Later generations were called "King Zhong" and Zhong Yao's calligraphy was praised by people as "the best grade".

The calligraphy of Zhong Yao that Liu Wenjing copied since childhood was obtained by rubbing.

Looking at the stone tablet, he remembered that his father had led him to print it. Now more than ten years have passed, and the past is vivid in his mind, but things have changed.

While Liu Wenjing was sighing, she saw several people walking between the stele forests. Some were holding white paper and pens and ink in their hands, and some were holding basins and brushes in their hands. It seemed that some man from the family was leading his followers to print the inscription.

Because of the original works of Zhong Yao in Xiyue Temple, many literati and poets will come here to copy and take them back to copy calligraphy. This is nothing, but now it is in chaos and there is still such leisure and elegant style. I don’t know if it is bold or...

It was rumored along the way that Yanzhou army heading south rebelled and surrendered to the Zhou State and took the opportunity to seize the Wuxiang of Tongzhou Prefecture. This is not far from Huayin...

Thinking of this, Liu Wenjing thought it was not good. He thought that this group of people was afraid that there was something wrong with their origin, so they made a quick decision and turned around and left, but it was too late.

"Oh, isn't this Liu Langjun? I've been separated for a few days at the post station. I've met again today. I'm really destined to do it!" 8
