Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 41 The Taoist Temple in the Deep Mountains
"General!"

"General!"

"Even if I die for the general, it's worth it."

More than 1000 soldiers shouted one after another, but when Liu Jiye couldn't pay his respects, they dropped their weapons and knelt down in front of Liu Jiye.

Seeing this, Li Jixun heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that finally leaving this life behind would be regarded as fulfilling the official's wish.As for whether Liu Jiye is willing to work in Da Song, that's not his business.

In the restaurant, Zhao Kuangyin was also very pleased, thinking that it is easy to get a good army, and it is hard to find a good general. With the help of Liu Jiye, who has never been defeated by the Khitan army, he will attack the sixteen states of Yanyun in the future, defeat the greatest enemy Khitan, and send The thousands of miles of land and mountains in the north have been brought back to our Great Song Dynasty, which increases the odds of winning.

On the other hand, Ye Chen also heaved a sigh of relief seeing this. If it was because of him that the Yang family general disappeared in the long river of history, he would still feel very regretful and unhappy.

At this moment, Liu Jiye straightened up, then turned to look at Song Jun, and threw the iron gun in his hand to the ground.A look of surrender.

But Ye Chen's eyesight was extraordinary, he looked at Liu Jiye's indifferent eyes from a hundred steps away, and suddenly yelled that he was not good.With the fastest speed, he held the hard bow behind his back in his hand, and drew the feather arrow from the quiver, picked up the bow and set the arrow.

Liu Jiye still had a saber in his waist. After he dropped the iron spear, he drew out the saber. Everyone thought he was going to throw the saber down, but unexpectedly he raised it up and wiped it at his neck.

"No..." Li Jixun's expression changed drastically, and he shouted loudly.

"General!" Several kneeling soldiers around Liu Jiye wanted to stand up and stop him, but it was too late.

hum...

In the blink of an eye, the sound of bowstrings came out, and a feathered arrow, like lightning, suddenly shot out from the small window of the restaurant.

"Clang!" Almost at the same time, there was the sound of metal and stone clashing, and the saber in Liu Jiye's hand fell and flew out.

Two generals around Liu Jiye hurriedly embraced Liu Jiye.

"Let me die! I have no face to live in this world." Liu Jiye yelled loudly, Li Jixun led people forward decisively, let several burly soldiers take Liu Jiye from the hands of two surrendered generals from the Northern Han Dynasty, and slashed at the back with a knife At the neck of the latter, the latter fainted.

During the whole process, the rabbits rose and the cranes fell. After Liu Jiye fainted, people realized that Zhao Kuangyin let out a long breath.Only then did the people including him remember the arrow just now, and turned to look at the source of the feathered arrow—the small window of the restaurant.

Ye Chen was also afraid for a while, thinking that if he made a move a little slower, the general of the Yang family would disappear completely.

While putting away his longbow, he found that everyone was looking at him, so he couldn't help but smile.

Zhao Kuangyin saw Ye Chen made another great contribution, and saw Ye Chen nod his head slightly, but he liked it more and more.

"Good archery, so precise and powerful from a hundred paces away!" Dang Jin exclaimed.

Cao Bin was also shocked, thinking that this kid has learned archery in less than 20 days, and his archery skills are so superb, he is worthy of being a disciple of a master.

In Zhao Kuangyin's mind, he continued the thought just now and thought: "I don't know about other skills of this son for the time being. The skill of making salt, not to mention solving the suffering of our army's salt shortage a few days ago, added another method of survival to my Song Dynasty. For my Song Dynasty, it can be said that Ze was the common people. I heard that all the calculations made Jia Xian fall into madness. He lowered his proud head and treated him as a teacher and student. The most important thing is that the collapse of the city wall can be counted. , Now that the arrow is so accurate, it has saved me a good general. Could it be that Ye Chen is really sent by heaven to help me?"

In the middle of the night, the silver moon hangs high.

Yu Daoxiang carried Ye Chen's marching backpack and a long cloth bag with a sniper rifle on his back, and traveled across mountains and ridges to the foot of the highest peak in the Qinling Mountains.

There is a mountain gate erected at the entrance of this high mountain, and there is a climbing path behind it. I don't know where it leads to the mountain?

The mountain gate is not complete, only the left and right round stone pillars are left, and the writing on the stone tablet with the name of the mountain gate engraved on it is blurred and can no longer be seen clearly.

Yu Daoxiang stepped on the path like a car familiar with the road, and walked up the mountain.

The path winds upwards, as if going straight to the peak.

The half-queen moon rises into the gray-blue night sky, and the stars are dotted, adding to the mystery of the trail.

It is not easy to dig such a path in the mountains. The dangerous place is next to the abyss of hundreds of feet, sometimes it goes around the mountain, and sometimes it runs through the old trees and tall forests.

Half an hour later, Yu Daoxiang had reached the peak. After she passed an ancient forest densely covered with strange trees, there was a sudden rush of water, and she saw a waterfall on the left that was more than ten feet high and cascaded down nearly a hundred feet. , forming a cascading waterfall, and in front of it a long suspension bridge crosses the waterfall and connects to the trail on the other side. The suspension bridge hangs in the air, shaking under the mountain wind. Feet are weak, let alone step on it.

Yu Daoxiang strode towards the suspension bridge without hesitation, looking like a ghost under the night moon.

Walking across the suspension bridge, an ancient Taoist temple with heavy halls appeared in front of Yu Daoxiang.

The entire Taoist temple is built on a natural giant rock, and behind the semicircle is a deep cliff. From the perspective of the suspension bridge, the starry sky seems to be floating behind the strange stone house, which is magical but extremely weird.

There are only three people in the huge Taoist temple, and Yu Daoxiang is only four people.

The person in charge of the Taoist temple is an old Taoist priest with white hair and beard but a rosy complexion, and there are two male disciples who look about 50 or [-] years old.

"Junior Sister! You are back."

"Junior Sister! Is there any gain from this trip?"

The two male Taoist priests seemed to have noticed Yu Daoxiang's arrival a long time ago, so they greeted them attentively and asked respectively.

Yu Daoxiang ignored the two of them, just gave them a coquettish look, and came to the main hall by himself.

It was already late at night, but the old man with white beard and hair was not sleeping, but was meditating.

In fact, since Yu Daoxiang could remember, she had never seen this old man, that is, her own father had slept with her.I have always used sitting instead of sleeping.

"Daddy! My daughter is back!" The coquettish look on Yu Daoxiang's face was gone, and she knelt in front of the old man with a cute look on her face.

Hearing the sound, the old man slowly opened his eyes and looked at Yu Daoxiang, his eyes like a cold pool were indifferent, without any emotion.It was as if what she was looking at was not her own daughter, but a passerby.

"Yu'er! Your trip failed. You didn't get the Heavenly Star Jade Pendant." The old man glanced at Yu Daoxiang, his eyes became more indifferent, and said lightly.

Yu Daoxiang resisted the soreness and bitterness in his heart, lowered his head and did not speak, but moved Ye Chen's tactical backpack and the long cloth bag containing the sniper rifle to the old man's eyes.

"Father! These things were snatched from the person who was carrying the Heavenly Star Jade Pendant. My daughter has carefully looked at the contents inside, and she has never seen or even heard of them. These things seem... as if they are not in the world." Yudao Xiang said softly.

Immediately afterwards, she pointed to the backpack and said, "Look, Dad! The material of this backpack has never been seen before by my daughter, and it is amazingly detailed and firm. And this...thing is even more peculiar."

When she said this, she began to pull the zipper on the backpack over and over again with great interest. She really couldn't figure out why the two rows of small teeth closed by themselves when this little thing was pulled, and it was still quite strong.

After the old Taoist priest looked at the backpack, she took out another dagger and said: "This dagger can be said to be cut like mud, with snow patterns on the surface of the knife, like pear blossoms in full bloom. I don't know what kind of treasure this knife handle is. Jade is not jade, it looks like stone but not stone. There are also strange characters on it, it feels like it is not engraved on it, as if it grew on it."

While talking, he handed the dagger to the old man.

Then, she took out a beautiful little red box from her backpack, opened it, took out a ring from it, put it on her hand, and said, "I have never seen such a delicate box, the most important thing is the ring inside. The body of this ring is silver and white, it has the color of silver, but it has the characteristics of gold, and it is much harder than gold. The most important thing is that there are some gemstones on the ring, yes... it is long, as if from It looks like gemstones grow out of the ring, and when the fire shines on, the transparent gemstones will shine as if they were alive, colorful and extremely beautiful, besides, my daughter has tried it, and this beautiful gemstone is harder than gold, stone and steel."

"The most important thing is this treasure!"

Yu Daoxiang took out the sniper rifle from the cloth bag, and continued: "My daughter has studied it for nearly two months, but she doesn't know what it is for, but judging from the workmanship, it doesn't look like a worldly thing at all. No matter how you look at it, it is A treasure."

The old man took the things Yu Daoxiang said one by one, and after carefully examining and playing with them like lightning, his expression changed, and he didn't know what to think about.

"Yu'er! You will tell me in detail what happened after you met this son, and don't miss any link." The old man said solemnly.

Yu Daoxiang said: "Daughter is going to tell Daddy."

"Four months ago, Dad suddenly sensed that the Heavenly Star Jade Pendant had reappeared in the world, and appeared near the Yongle Border City. My daughter came to Yongle Border City according to Dad's instructions..."

After a stick of incense, the old man held a sniper rifle in his hand, frowned in thought, and remained silent for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, the old man took out a pitch-black token from his sleeve, handed it to Yu Daoxiang, and said, "Yu'er! Take this token and go to Chang'an Tianxia Commercial Bank to find their shopkeeper. He will come out to meet you, and you ask him to mobilize all the forces under his command to investigate all the information about this son. Well... take Yuyan with you when you leave! If the past birth history of this son is clearly investigated, you will Bring this son to the Taoist temple. If the investigation of this son's past history can't be found out, as if it appeared out of thin air, you let Yuyan fly back to the Taoist temple, and I will understand what is going on, and you will try to get close to this son, and find a way Gain his trust. I will make a decision after I think about it and make a guess."

When Yu Daoxiang heard that she had just come back, her father asked her to go out again, lowered her head, bit her lips and did not speak.
