Chapter 291 Legend of Yuezhou

As we walked along the way, the city was filled with solemn and murderous aura.

The soldiers I saw on the roadside often came in and out in groups. Some people often sharpened their swords and guns at the door of the barracks, and some people often pulled carts and were full of military supplies to travel in the streets and alleys.

It can be seen that the war is in front of us.

Think about it, it's the same -

Although the northern border was strong, General Chen had never been afraid of them. Moreover, Da Yan was at its peak of integrity and national strength. The reason why General Chen mainly defended the enemy when he went south for the second time this time was because the army of northern border was assisted by demons. Now that the demons were eliminated, the northern border was panic and the army was in a turmoil. General Chen would not miss such a good opportunity.

"arrive."

Military Secretary Zhang stopped at the entrance of a courtyard.

The courtyard gate was open, and Song You went in with him.

The inside is not as particular as the ordinary houses in the city, but the conditions are much better than the outdoor camping. When you step into the courtyard, there is a large open space inside, and pear trees and vegetables are planted. The entire courtyard is surrounded by loess tiled houses on the front, back, left and right sides of the courtyard, each room is one. I heard that each person has one room, and there is a special room for use as a main hall, which is much better than ordinary soldiers.

There were people coming and going in the yard, and there were people hanging clothes.

"Mr. Jiang."

Military Secretary Zhang caught the most leisurely Mr. Jiang: "I wonder if Mr. Qiao is here?"

"It's in the house."

"Thank you."

Military advisor Zhang led Song You over.

I knocked on the door and someone came to open the door soon.

Mr. Qiao is a tall and thin middle-aged man. I heard from Mr. Zhang that he could draw several kinds of talismans. Some of them could avoid evil spirits when worn on their bodies, some could prevent illness after burning water, and some could prevent evil when applied on swords. He was also a civilian master who was very needed in the army. Mr. Qiao was originally from Yuezhou, but later he had no choice but to join the army. He heard that he knew very well about Yuezhou.

But when Mr. Qiao saw Song You, he was stunned.

"I was so stunned? Was he scared by Mr. Song?" Military Commander Zhang looked at him with a smile, "Mr. Song went down the mountain and wandered around the mortal world. The next place was to go to Yuezhou. I want to ask about Yuezhou. Thinking that you are from Yuezhou, I, Mr. Zhang, also know a little, but I am not as good as you, so I brought Mr. Song to you."

"oh oh……"

Mr. Qiao then realized.

Song You glanced at his expression, looked over him, glanced into the house, and saw that although the house was not big, there were many paintings hanging on the wall, most of which were the scene of military slaughter.

It's a good sentence.

However, although there are often literati joining the army these days, there are many people who like paintings, but there are not many military paintings that can be seen, and most of them are generals who paint. However, this person painted the scene, either the two armies fought fiercely, or the corpses flowed like mountains and blood after the war, or the army marched like long dragons, or the camps ran for dozens of miles, which was a rare style on the market.

There is a table in front of the bed, with paint brushes and a half-painted painting on it.

The painting is the scene of yesterday.

Song You withdrew his gaze and continued to look at Mr. Qiao.

"Mr. Song is a master of immortals. How dare Mr. Qiao be negligent?" Mr. Qiao reacted and hurried out of the room and closed the door. "It should be made a pot of tea for Mr. Song."

"If you want to drink tea? You have to call me." Jiang Dadu smiled and walked over after drying his clothes.

The group entered the main hall.

The strange people camp are all strange people in the world and some folk masters with Taoism. They each have their own abilities, but their abilities are not limited to those strange magical magic, and they often have other hobbies. Many people are still wonderful people even if they are different from those strange abilities.

Jiang Dadu is the most leisurely.

First of all, his abilities are inherited from his ancestors, and he is carried in his womb without hard practice. It takes no time to get it. The world is full of wonderful people, and leisurely and carefree people are also good people.

Secondly, although he is very good at this, he has to use it once every three days. Unlike Xing Wu and Mr. Qiao, if General Chen wants to turn the defense and attack, they have to work overtime to refine alchemy and draw talismans to prepare. Only a few people like Mr. Jiang can continue to stay in the barracks and wash clothes without panic.

Mr. Jiang loves to drink tea on weekdays and has a good tea art.

The conditions in the army were difficult, but whether General Chen or Military Advisor Zhang, they took special care of the strange and powerful people who voluntarily joined the army or came to follow and help. Therefore, in this barracks of Jiang Dadu, there were many noble people in Changjing who also thought it was strange to Longtuan tribute tea.

Jiang Dadu seemed to really treat Song You as a god to entertain him.

I took the good tea, carefully crushed it and sifted it, and then fryed it with good water. Every step was very particular, and I achieved the ultimate in this military camp. Even Military Commander Zhang called him extravagant after drinking it.

"Today I've been blessed by Mr. Song. On weekdays, Jiang Dadu will not treat us like this easily." said Mr. Zhang.

"What does Mr. Song want to ask?"

"I just want to ask what famous mountains and rivers are better than waters in Yuezhou, which are unique customs and humanities, which are demons, and what are magical things. You can go there next to each other."

"well……"

Mr. Qiao sighed, but put down the teacup in his hand.

"Where is there any more time left in Yuezhou now..."

“How to say it?”

"The last time the people from the north of the border went south, I was still young. The court's defense was in Hezhou, Yanzhou. Yuezhou was sparsely prepared. The people from the north of the border were crossing. It might be a bit exaggerated to say that nine out of ten rooms were empty, but it was not much worse. However, after the people from the north of the border retreated, the demons were in chaos. Then it would be absolutely not an exaggeration to say that nine out of ten rooms were empty." Mr. Qiao couldn't help but sigh, "There was a big demon king in the south of Yuezhou. He was called the White Bull King by the locals. Almost half of Yuezhou. Compared with the demon kings in Yecheng and Heyuan, they treated the people in the territory as animals. Who would dare to stay there? Even if there were people who survived the war disasters and plagues, they moved out early under the torture of demons. That's why I left my hometown and followed General Chen."

Song You's expression was very calm after hearing this:

"What about now?"

"It seems that shortly after the spring of this year, Zhang heard rumors that the White Bull King in Yuezhou was also beaten to death by the gods." Military Secretary Zhang said from the side, but the divine light could not help but dim. "But there are almost no people in the south of Yuezhou. I have died almost the same before, and no one dared to move there in a short period of time. I am afraid that I can only wait for a few years to stabilize the north and the court will send people to fill it."

"When I left, there were very few people living in the southern part of Yuezhou, which was occupied by the White Bull King. Now there were probably few people." Mr. Qiao also said.

"There are some people in the west of Yuezhou, next to Yanzhou, and there are still people in the Long Spear Gate that is right there." Mr. Jiang said, "The Long Spear Gate is all good men."

"But apart from the Long Spear Sect, there are not many people left." Military Commander Zhang said again.

“…”

Song You couldn't help but feel a little silent.

There are very few people left in a state, and it seems that there is such a power at any time when a war is plagued. It is also a common thing in troubled times, but it still makes people shocked.

Fortunately, the gods of the Heavenly Palace are still capable. In recent years, they have focused on suppressing the northern demons, but have really destroyed several great demon kings who have accumulated their strength for unknown reasons and have taken advantage of this troubled times to emerge.

"If sir wants to go to the Long Spear Gate, Zhang can write a letter and take General Chen's name. The Long Spear Gate will not dare to neglect sir." said Mr. Zhang.

"There are several good scenery in Yuezhou. When I was young, I liked painting and went to many places, such as Tianzhu Mountain, like the colorful pond, like the Yuelong Waterfall. In the past, when Yuezhou was not affected by military disaster, there were also many literati and scholars who went to visit idle. I heard that Tianzhu Mountain, at its peak, could collect 100,000 taels of silver every year when it was collected in the 'mountain tax'."

The so-called mountain tax is equivalent to the tickets these days.

But don’t think that transportation is inconvenient these days, so few people love traveling. In fact, countless literati and scholars in all dynasties have been keen on landscapes. Due to the developed economy, some ordinary people from wealthy families sometimes go to nearby places to travel. Although life seems ordinary, as long as you have spare energy, some ordinary people will try their best to make it shine.

So an official surrounded the mountains and collected taxes.

Some people like Genting Mountain do not collect taxes, and some people like Tianzhu Mountain do not collect taxes.

The situation is different from place to place.

When Mr. Qiao saw that Song You was interested, he told him in detail.

Including the locations of these places, how to go, and which one is close to which one is all arguing with Song Hao.

Song You listened carefully and remembered.

Mr. Qiao looked at him quietly from time to time.

After recording it, Song Youcai asked again: "I heard that there is a green tung tree forest in the north of Yuezhou. You can see the phoenix. I wonder if it is true or false?"

"I was about to talk about the green tung forest to Mr. Qiao then said, "There is indeed this legend in Yuezhou. In the original Ningjun, there was indeed such a green tung forest. The ancient green tung trees growing there are thousands of years old and as tall as clouds. The biggest thing is that dozens of people can't hold it together. They are bigger than this room, and just the branches grown on the trees can leave. However, it is said that only phoenixes can go up. It is unlucky for ordinary people to climb up, so no one dares to climb up or cut down."

Have a quick meal:

"I heard that every winter solstice and summer solstice, I may see phoenixes there. Someone has seen it. I also heard that someone had taken the bark of the green tung tree there to make paper. The things drawn can even come true. I have been there, but I have never seen phoenixes. I don't know how to make paper with the bark of the green tung tree. I only know that the scenery there is beautiful. In addition to the frequent clouds and miasma, even if there is no phoenix and magic, the scenery of the green tung forest is worth visiting."

"Zhang has also heard of it." Zhang Junshi said, "I heard that the firebirds that went to the summer solstice were seen, and the icebirds that went to the winter solstice were seen. Some said it was a phoenix, some said it was a mysterious bird, and some said it was a divine bird. Even if it was really, it was called by ordinary people who had seen by chance. Which one can tell what the divine bird is really called."

"rational."

Song You nodded and said.

"Zhang has heard a saying," said Zhang Junshi, "Some people say that this divine bird will take away the dead souls in the world when flying by, while others say that only when there are great sages and great virtues on the ground will the divine bird come, otherwise even if it goes on the winter solstice, the summer solstice, it will not be seen."

"That's how..."

Song You showed a thoughtful look.

"Sir, are you going?"

"Of course I have to go."

"It's summer now, and it's not long before the summer solstice. Mr. Zhang passed by now and should be able to catch up..." Military Commander Zhang paused and quietly glanced at Song You. "If Mr. still wants to stay in the army for a long time and see more different scenery in the army, you can wait for the winter solstice, which is only a few months."

As he said that, Junshu Zhang immediately added: "Although the demons in the northern army were eliminated, there were still hidden ones, or there were other troops in other troops. If you are willing to stay in the army, we will be entertained with us."

Song You couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
