In the winter season, since the camp was set up under Chang'an City in early December, neither the Qin army nor Shihu had made any major moves. Although both sides had tried to cut off the other's food routes, they all failed without exception.

Shi Hu adopted a step-by-step approach, alternating virtual and real methods. He had the advantage of many empty cities east of Chang'an. Each city had varying amounts of grain and grass, which were randomly sent to the camp ahead, leaving Yunfeng confused about the route and often guarding it.

We had just discovered the reward, but before the troops and horses could be mobilized, the transportation had been completed, and we had no choice but to sigh.

There are many forts in the rear of the Qin army, and many cities are congested. They not only have to prevent stone tigers from cutting off grain roads, but also prevent them from destroying wheat fields. Therefore, Yunfeng built many bunkers between Chang'an and Weicheng, each with a radius of five miles.

One, no matter

Hundreds of people guard each fort day and night. Once a small force of the Jie Army sneaks in, they will immediately use the wolf smoke bonfire as a signal and summon a specially established rapid reaction force. After repeated back and forth, Shi Hu failed to make a profit and lost more than a thousand riders, so he gave up.

This thought.

The calmness in recent months can easily lead to misunderstandings. Will the two armies continue to be in a stalemate like this and eventually retreat due to lack of food?

The people of Chang'an carried beautiful expectations and lived half-starved days. In this way, unknowingly, the time came to March 20th. On this day, for Chang'an and Qin Jie's two armies, it was just a

It is an extremely ordinary day, but for Jiankang, it is not a big day nor a small day, and the mountain gate is about to be opened together!

The majestic archway on the main peak of Zhongshan still stands proudly, but it has been transformed into a three-chamber arch made of bluestone. The three door openings symbolize the three realms. Stepping into the mountain gate means jumping out of the three realms and entering the fairy cave. The stone wall of the mountain gate is carved with

There are exquisite decorations such as flowing clouds, cranes, and flowers. In addition, the three characters of Huaxianmen hanging high in the middle of the archway have been replaced by a straight line. From this day on, Huaxianmen will officially withdraw from the stage of history!

On the winding mountain road, there was an endless stream of scholars and civilians who came to watch the ceremony. They had been curious for more than half a year and couldn't wait to unveil the mysterious veil of Zhengdao.

In the bustling crowd, Director Wang couldn't help but praise: "I came to Huaxianmen to visit Master Wu Puzhen a few years ago. How could Huaxianmen at that time be compared with today? This archway alone is amazing.

I couldn't help but have a heart for the Tao."

Xi Jian followed: "According to what my little girl mentioned, the establishment of Zhengyi Road was proposed by King Qin, and King Qin also played a decisive role in the design of the entire mountain gate. Come on, let's go quickly and go in to see what it looks like. Ge Hong

It’s true that that miscellaneous hair won’t let anyone in until the mountain gate is opened, which whets my appetite!”

Director Wang couldn't help but look to the northwest and sighed: "I don't know what happened to the King of Qin. The situation under Chang'an City is strange and unpredictable. If you are not careful, you will be shattered into pieces. Although Shihu is ferocious and cruel, he can use his fingers like an arm."

, this battle will not be easy to fight!"

Xi Jian shook his head and said: "The King of Qin has not been defeated so far since his debut, and he is on par with Shi Hu. To sum up, Shi Hu has defeated Luoyang and Tongguan and occupied the world. Although the King of Qin is weaker than Shi Hu, the whole Qin country is united.

Occupying Renhe, it is difficult to determine the outcome of this victory, but Jian dares to assert that no matter which side wins, it will be a tragic victory, and there will be no hope of being able to move again within three or two years!"

"Huh?" Director Wang turned around and looked at Xi Jian for a while, then asked suspiciously, "Why do I hear that you are taking pleasure in others' misfortune?"

"Ah? How can there be?" Xi Jian quickly denied: "Jian really hopes that King Qin will defeat Shi Hu and take advantage of the situation to sweep the northern kingdom!" Then they started fighting: "Come on, let's go faster, the time is almost up. "

Director Wang looked back suspiciously and snorted coldly: "Don't think that I don't understand what you are thinking. In fact, you are not the only one. I am also very conflicted. If the King of Qin wins, he will dominate the world in three to five years. If the King of Qin is defeated, everything will be destroyed." Go back to your original shape, well, we can't help you in Jiankang, let's see what God's will brings and let's go!" As he said that, he waved his sleeves and quickened his pace, and Xi Jianze followed closely.

Following the mountain, not far past the archway, there is a screen wall. On the wall are embedded the four big seal characters of Eternal Green, with powerful calligraphy and the inscription is Xun Song.

Many people in the Eastern Jin Dynasty were good at Dharma, such as Wang Dao, Xun Song, Xi Jian, Wen Qiao, etc. They used Dharma to cultivate their personal cultivation. Unfortunately, no calligraphy treasures have been handed down for future generations to appreciate. In fact, when it comes to style and writing power, These people each have their own strengths, and it cannot be said that Wang Xizhi will definitely be better than them.

After passing the Zhaobi wall, our eyes suddenly opened up. A majestic hall stood on the mountainside square with its back against the mountain. The square was nearly a thousand feet in diameter. There was an altar in front of the hall, which was a high platform built of rammed earth. On the altar stood three clear statues. There are five types of offerings to the statue: incense, flowers, lamps, water, and fruits. On the plaque in the main hall are the two characters Taichu, with two vertical banners hanging on the left and right, which are: Be quiet and do nothing, leave the country and sit and forget!

These characters are all Li, which is the official official script. Kai, Xing, and Cao San are used for scholars' hobbies and daily interactions. However, this Li is not a pure Han Li, and the twists and turns of Li's strokes have tended to be straight. , with obvious regular script marks.

In the square, nearly a hundred distinguished guests shuttled back and forth, guiding the guests who came to watch the ceremony to the arranged seats. There were also many casual seats in front of the square, specially prepared for those who did not have a name card. At this time, the casual seats were already overcrowded, and they were late. I could only stand and watch.

As expected, Wang and Xi were led to the front of the palace by the guest. Just as they were admiring the Taichu Palace, a greeting came: "Maohong, Dao Hui, you two come here and sit down. "

The two of them turned around and saw that Xun Song, Xun Guanniang, Yu Liang, Huan Yi and Yuan Dan were already sitting at the table, so they both laughed and walked forward.

After greeting each other and taking their seats, Director Wang asked, "Why don't you see Zhenren Ge Hong?"

Xun Song looked at the hourglass in the corner of the hall and said casually: "It's coming soon. Huh? Look, what a coincidence, they came out of the hall."

Master Wu Puzhen walked in the front, followed closely by Ge Hong and Concubine Pei, one on the left and one on the right, and then followed by hundreds of male and female disciples holding various ritual vessels. Concubine Pei's aura was extremely good, with strands of black hair in her hair. Although the white hair showed no sign of returning to black, the crow's feet at the corners of the eyes miraculously disappeared, and the complexion became much rosier. It seems that one of the reasons is that he followed Ge Hong to practice Jindan Taoism, and the other was that he had Xun Guanniang as his close friend. , the body and mind are completely relaxed.

As this group of people stepped out, the noise in the square stopped for an instant. A group of Taoist priests stepped onto the altar. Ge Hong stood out and said loudly: "Today is the day when I am opening the mountain gate. I am a poor Taoist." I would like to thank you all for coming to watch the ceremony. Taking advantage of today's good time, I will hold a prayer ceremony together. Firstly, I pray for all the people in the world. I hope God will bless the world with good weather and good harvests. Secondly, I pray for the King of Qin. Now the King of Qin is with Jie Zhao Shihu fought fiercely at the foot of Chang'an City. May the immortals and gods protect King Qin from defeating the Jie thieves and restoring our mountains and rivers!"

As soon as these words came out, the square suddenly became filled with people and the noise started again.

"Not long ago, there was news that the King of Qin was in the southern suburbs of Shanggui to worship heaven and ascend the throne of Qin. How come he reached Chang'an so quickly? It seems that Liu Yao is not far away from destroying the country!"

"Didn't you listen to what Master Ge Hong said? King Qin's opponent is Shi Hu. Who is Shi Hu? He is the most cruel person in the world! This blessing is well done. We would rather not have good weather and have a good harvest than hope that God will

All blessings are given to the King of Qin, help him defeat the stone tiger!"

"I really don't know when King Qin will come again. Now that King Qin is not in Jiankang, I always feel empty and uneasy in my heart."

Similar discussions abounded. Among the people who came to watch the ceremony, most of them were ordinary landowners, wealthy businessmen, female gentlemen and people from all walks of life. They knew that Zhengyi Yiyi was closely related to Yunfeng, so they came to support him one after another.

.On the contrary, none of the nobles surnamed Wu came. They have a deep hatred for Yunfeng and acted in unison to boycott Zhengyi!

As for the Sima clan, only one Nanton Wang Zong came. The situation was similar to that of the Wu clan. What purpose the Nanton Wang Zong had in coming was unknown to outsiders.

Now the court has been completely divided. The nobles surnamed Wu have formed a group and fought against their little ninety-nine. The nobles surnamed Qiao are led by Wang Dao, Xun Song and others. On the surface, they don't care about anything, but because they hold military power, they are in the court.

The Sima clan has a huge say in the government, which makes many Sima clans who have been awarded high officials only have empty names and cannot do practical things.

After a short while, seeing that the noise in the square was getting louder, Ge Hong immediately pressed his hands and called out again: "Everyone, everyone, please be quiet. The auspicious time is coming, and the prayer ceremony will be held immediately. Please keep quiet!

"

As soon as Ge Hong finished speaking, he heard a cold snort: "Huh! Pray for the rebellious ministers and traitors, where will Ge Zhichuan set up the court?"

Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Nanton Wang Zong who said this. They frowned unconsciously.

, could only glare at him bitterly.

Concubine Pei couldn't help but said: "Sima Zong, the King of Qin has sent a letter to the court. He passed the Shangtai to ask the Lord to make plans and agree. The messenger set out for Shanggui not long ago. The King of Qin was granted the title by the court. What does it mean to be a traitor and a traitor?

?Please be more articulate, you shouldn’t speak in a hurry or talk nonsense!”

Sima Zong continued to groan: "The emperor is the son of heaven, and only the emperor can sacrifice to heaven. The traitor dared to brave the world and brazenly went to the southern suburbs to worship heaven. Isn't this a rebellious minister or a traitor? You, Heavenly One, blatantly pray for the traitor,

Could it be that Yu is following along to rebel?"

Concubine Pei had a bad temper. When she heard this, she immediately said angrily: "The people in the world only know that King Qin is fighting a bloody battle with Shihu. They only know that King Qin is going on an expedition alone to regain his homeland. You, Sima Zong, are just flattering and bullying."

What qualifications do you have to evaluate the King of Qin? Finally, I would like to tell you, if you are here to watch the ceremony, just keep your mouth shut. If you are here to cause trouble, get out now!" With that, he pointed at the mountain gate fiercely!

"Okay, okay!" The square suddenly burst into cheers, and the people all looked at Nanton Wangzong with disdain.

"This group of traitors have rebelled, come here, arrest them!" Nandun Wang Zong's beard and hair trembled all over his body, and he shouted back repeatedly.

However, the entourage showed bitterness one after another. Is there anything wrong with the mind of the old highness? There are tens of thousands of people crowded in the square, and who are we going to arrest with just a dozen people? Don't commit public outrage and your life will be in danger. Everyone will be in trouble at once.

Eyes wide open, no one moved.

"Did I support you in vain? Go quickly!" Before the roar of Nanton Wangzong had dissipated, Concubine Pei couldn't hold it in any longer and walked quickly down the altar. With a crisp "pop!", she waved her hand to Nanton again.

Dun Wangzong slapped him hard!
Chapter completed!
