Ailao Mountain is located in the deepest part of the snow-capped mountains in the North.
Beyond is the "Ice Wolf Valley" where life is cut off.
It is said that Ran Min, the king of Wu Miao, was defeated and beheaded here.
be honest:
This is made up based on plot needs, epic records:
In April of the eighth year of Yonghe (352), Ran Min was defeated by Murong Jun and was captured.
On the third day of the fifth lunar month, Murong Jun sent Ran Min to Longcheng and beheaded him on Mount Erxing.
All vegetation in the seven miles to the left and right of the mountain withered, locusts swarmed, and there was no rain from May until December.
Murong Jun sent an envoy to offer sacrifices to Ran Min, who was posthumously named King Wu Dao. Immediately, it snowed heavily.
Hua Jiunan and his party arrived at Ailao Mountain and were not in a hurry to enter.
Instead, he stopped where he was and watched from a distance.
I saw layers of thick fog in the mountains shrouded in wind and snow.
It's not so much mist as it is needle-like ice crystals.
The faint light reflected from the snow reflects a huge "chess game" - eight vertical and horizontal gates!
Hua Jiunan couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.
“With mountains and rivers and feng shui as the ‘plate’ and geographical dragon veins as the ‘location’, Mr. Fan Ju is worthy of being a great master of his generation!”
As soon as Hua Jiunan's voice fell, only faint laughter could be heard coming from all directions.
"I don't think that after a thousand years, Fan will be able to meet his confidant again. I am so relieved, my heart is so relieved!"
After the laughter, the thick fog in the mountains automatically separated a road.
On both sides of the road, there are hundreds of bronze Qin warriors lined up.
These Qin warriors all have simple faces, tall bodies, and hold swords, halberds, crossbows, shields and other war blades.
Although there is no mount, standing there is much taller than ordinary people on horseback.
Fan Ju, an old man in ancient costume with a simple face, holding a wat board, and carrying Taoist robe Xu Fu, golden armor and yellow nest, walked out slowly.
Followed closely behind were Li Jinlong with red eyes, half-dressed Tengu and embroidered shoes.
Note: Huban (hùbǎn) is a jade tablet held by princes and ministers when they went to court in ancient times.
Also known as Shouban, Jade Board, Chaowat or Chaoban.
"Fan Ju, a native of Qin, has met all of you."
People are polite, so Hua Jiu Nan cannot lose his gentlemanly demeanor.
So he took the lead and returned the gift.
"After studying in China for nine years, I have met all the seniors."
Chen Daji, who wanted to scold him when they met because the other party had arrested his grandmother, saw that Hua Jiu did not get angry, so he could only endure it for the time being.
But when this kid saw his "old acquaintance" the Big Tengu, he still couldn't help but complain.
"Damn it! Isn't this Brother Dog?!"
"How come we haven't seen each other for a few days and only half of them are left?!!"
"Where's the lower half of the dog? Did another dog eat it?!"
I don’t know what Chen Daji would think if he knew that he and others ate it...
Well... at least I have to get a big tail slap from Mr. Chang...
As the saying goes, "Don't slap someone in the face when you hit someone, don't expose someone's shortcomings when you scold someone."
Chen Daji opened his mouth to reveal the "scar" of the Tengu, which immediately made the other party furious.
"You little beast, you're looking for death!"
Not to be outdone, Chen Daji immediately retorted: "You are so presumptuous as a dog!"
...
Fortunately, Xu Fu and Chang Baye held back one person and one dog like a "fighting cock", otherwise these two guys would have had to fight immediately.
This little episode didn't seem to have any impact on Fan Ju.
He waved his sleeves, and bluestone tables and chairs immediately appeared between the two "people and horses".
Then he bowed his hands.
"My friend is invited."
Hua Jiunan did not hesitate, walked slowly to the stone table and sat down.
"Senior, you're welcome."
Seeing this, Fan Ju smiled a little more on his face.
After I sat down slowly, a maid-like Qin Terracotta Warrior appeared and began to boil water for tea.
Although this Qin terracotta warrior is exquisitely made and lifelike in every move, it is indescribably weird to others.
It feels like walking on a mountain path in the middle of the night and encountering a beautiful paper doll...
"This tea is called 'Qin Shi Mingyue', and I only have this one pot left!"
"If I didn't have such a close friend, I would be reluctant to take it out, hahahaha!"
Fan Ju is different from what everyone imagined:
Not only did he not feel gloomy at all, on the contrary, being with him was a refreshing breeze.
Indescribably relaxed and natural.
Even Chen Daji muttered to himself.
This old man seems to be a decent person and can be dealt with!
After a while, I discussed with him and let grandma go.
If he is obedient, just kick his crotch a few times less...
In fact, it’s no wonder Fan Ju gives people this feeling.
Otherwise, how could he, as a representative figure of political strategists, persuade many countries to realize Qin's strategy of "diplomacy far away and attack near".
This is how we talk to strangers:
If the other person gives a very unpleasant first impression, no one will even bother to talk to him, let alone work with him!
If you encounter someone with a bad temper, you can even start a fight.
When Hua Jiunan saw Fan Ju pouring tea for him personally, he immediately stood up slightly.
Make a fist with the palm of your right hand facing down and tap your knuckles on the table three times to express your gratitude.
"Senior is so polite, I'm flattered."
Although he said this, Hua Jiunan had no intention of drinking tea.
He just looked at Fan Ju with a smile.
You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others!
Soldiers are deceitful! Use every possible means!
Especially when facing a politician, strategist, and military strategist like Fan Ju, how could Hua Jiudian not be cautious?
Reality is not an imagined story:
Enemies on both sides sit together and drink happily, no one cares about the other.
Then a fair one-on-one battle...silly and naive?
When Fan Ju saw Hua Jiu's troubled look, not only was he not angry, but his eyes showed deep appreciation.
After smiling calmly, hold the tea cup between your thumb and index finger, hold the bottom of the cup with your middle finger, put it to your mouth and take a sip.
This is exactly the textbook standard etiquette in my Chinese tea ceremony:
Three dragons protect the tripod.
The three fingers are known as the "Three Dragons", and the tea cup is like a tripod.
“I have admired my little friend’s name for a long time, and today I saw that it is indeed well-deserved.”
"Don't speak falsehoods in front of the real person, don't burn bad incense under the Buddha's seat, I will get straight to the point."
Having said this, Fan Ju paused and carefully observed the changes in Hua Jiunan's expression.
Seeing that the other party was still smiling and could not see any emotional fluctuations, he continued talking on his own.
"There is no grudge between you and me, but I heard that my little friend was entrusted by General Bai Qi to find me to return to the Yin and Yang Realm to confront him. I wonder if this is the case?"
After finishing speaking, his eyes deliberately looked at the killing sword on the back of Hua Jiu Nan, and he smiled meaningfully.
Hua Jiu Nan never lies:
First, the facts are right in front of us. He even carries the personal weapon of the God of Death. Sophistry is meaningless;
Second, anyone who lies in front of a strategist like Fan Ju is almost the same as a joke.
"Senior is aware of everything and this has indeed happened."
After saying that, he took off the "killing sword" very naturally and put it in front of Fan Ju.
"Isn't it because of this incident that senior made things difficult for my grandma?"
"The younger generation is not filial, but it brings harm to her elders."
Seeing this, Fan Ju smiled even more meaningfully.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed the killing knife "naturally".
However, he paused deliberately to observe Hua Jiunan's reaction.
Surprisingly, facing Fan Ju's actions, Hua Jiunan had no intention of stopping him.
It seemed as if what the other party took away was not his own peerless magic weapon, but just a dead branch or piece of rotten wood.
