Chapter 5 On the Snow Peak
"What Yunnan, is it south of Yunling?" the cold voice asked strangely.
The words in the history books flashed through the hearts of the Tang Dynasty like Nirvana, "Yunnan was called Nanzhao in ancient times." It was not until the Ming Dynasty that the name "Yunnan" came into existence. However, since we are still in the Tang Dynasty, the name "Yunnan" must not have appeared yet.
Another thought flashed through his mind like a meteor: Should I tell outsiders the truth?
But he immediately thought, if I tell, will others believe it? Grandma, these people in ancient times were very superstitious. I said that I traveled to this era, don't think of me as a monster and kill me. I will die soon.
Having made a decision, you can't tell the truth no matter who you tell it. If you do it, it will be unbelievable, and it will not do you any good at all.
Having made up his mind, he didn't worry too much, and replied hesitantly: "Yes, I was wrong, but my master often said this, in fact, this is the boundary of Nanzhao, otherwise there would be no world-famous Dianchi Lake
Yes, you, thank your aunt, right?"
Unexpectedly, after such a climb, the cold voice sounded again: "Who is your aunt? You brat, don't keep yelling!"
Tang Chao was surprised. He didn't expect that Pat Ma actually slapped the horse's tail, so he had to ask cautiously: "Then, what should I call Senior Xie?"
This stern voice said impatiently: "Who wants you to call me? If I hadn't seen you dying, for Lian'er's sake, I wouldn't have saved you? Don't talk too much, you have all the meridians in your body now
Get hit hard or die faster!"
Tang Chao was surprised at this. Guaiguai, it turned out that he fell from such a high altitude. Although he was lucky enough not to die, the huge momentum caused him to collide with the lake water, which still caused serious injuries to his body.
"I, am my injury serious? Will I be able to act like a normal person in the future?" He didn't care whether he should speak or not. Anyway, he was unwilling to die until he understood the problem.
A voice snorted heavily and ignored him, but Xie Lian said softly: "Ms. Tang, don't worry, my master has excellent medical skills. Since she has agreed to save you, you can't die. Just don't say anything."
Don't make my master angry!"
When Tang Chao heard this, he finally let go of his worries. Since he was not worried about his life, he felt very comfortable and began to appreciate the surrounding scenery.
Tang Chao felt that he was walking up the mountain. The further he went, the colder the climate became, but he gritted his teeth and endured it, thinking, could it be that the master and the apprentice actually lived on the top of the mountain above Dian Lake?
When you look carefully at Xie Lian, she walks effortlessly. Her feet seem to be equipped with springs. Her master is walking behind, bearing most of the weight of his body, but he still acts as if nothing has happened, and seems to be light and still pushing.
Xie Lian moved forward. Tang Chao couldn't help but wonder: These two women, obviously, had such physical strength. It was really not easy! He thought to himself that even if he was in good health, he would never be able to walk alone on such a steep snow peak.
Carrying people like them makes walking easier.
"Ms. Tang, please bear with me, we will be here soon!" Xie Lian comforted when she heard Tang Chao's teeth chattering.
"It doesn't matter, I can bear it."
Finally, the three of them reached the top of the mountain. The flat land above the top of the mountain was several miles in circumference. It was far from the needle-like ones seen on the mountainside. In the middle of the open space, there stood a huge snow-covered room.
Xie Lian and her master carried Tang Chao into this room.
As soon as he entered the room, a strange warmth spread throughout Tang Chao's body.
Xie Lian closed the door and asked: "Ms. Tang, are you still cold now?"
"It's not cold. It's really great here. I never imagined that such a good house could be built on such a top. It's truly a miracle!"
At this time, Tang Chao saw Xie Lian's master. In his impression, he always thought that this woman with a cold and stern voice was an old pious woman, or at least a tasteless woman. But when he saw her true face, Tang Chao's
My heart was shocked: "I can't believe, I can't believe that you are as beautiful as your apprentice!"
I saw that she was about forty years old, with beautiful eyebrows and a plump figure. If her eyebrows were not wrinkled from time to time with an evil aura, she would definitely be regarded as a stunning beauty.
His words came out of his mouth at first, but as soon as he said them, he immediately knew that he was in trouble, because Tang Chao immediately saw that the middle-aged woman's face was covered with frost: "Lian'er, I told you that this boy has a long face."
It's not a good thing to make people look less like humans and ghosts than like ghosts. You believe it now, even an old woman like me would say frivolous words, so I might as well kill her!"
As she spoke, she raised her palm, intending to print it on Tang Chao's forehead.
Tang Chao said angrily: "Why are you so unreasonable? Go find someone to comment and ask them to tell you. If you are not a stunning beauty, are there any beauties in the world?" Mom, she is already there anyway.
Even if he risked his life, even if he was beaten to death by her palm, he still had to distinguish between right and wrong.
When the middle-aged woman heard this, her palms raised in the air did not move, but she suddenly lowered her voice and asked Tang Chao: "Is what you said true?"
Tang Chao was ecstatic, knowing that he would not die for the time being, and solemnly said: "I, Tang Chao, swear on this towering snow mountain today that you are a rare beauty in the world who can make any man in the world fall in love. If I
With half a lie, you threw me out of this stone house and let me freeze to death in the ice and snow!"
Tang Chao originally wanted to let her kill him with one palm, but after thinking about it, it was better to be safe. It would be better to throw me out of the stone house than to be killed immediately.
The Tang Dynasty originally expected that women like to hear compliments. Besides, this woman was also very beautiful. He thought that as soon as he said these few words, he would immediately treat him differently. Who knew that after he said this,
The middle-aged woman was furious and slapped him hard on the face: "Okay, I will fulfill your wish and throw you out of this stone house!"
Tang Chao's body was weak after the injury. How could he withstand such a slap in the face? He only vaguely felt his body being lifted up, and then fell into the cold snow with a "bang".
He was originally in a coma, but he didn't expect the coldness of the snowy peaks. He suddenly woke up from the cold, and he screamed in his heart: "Hey, dear, don't you have to fulfill your vow and really freeze to death in the snow?"
At the same time, I was also depressed: There is such an unreasonable woman in the world. Do you want me to tell her that she looks ugly to make her happy?
Xie Lian wanted to rush out to save Tang Chao, but the middle-aged woman stretched out her hand and tapped somewhere on her body. She immediately stopped moving. Tang Chao was surprised: Could it be that this middle-aged woman was actually a martial artist?
Are you a master? Looking at the finger she just tapped on Xie Lian, it seemed like the legendary acupuncture skill. A tap on an acupuncture point on a human body would immediately render the person unable to move.
Ouch, why am I becoming more and more unbearable?
Cold! Tang Chao only felt cold now, and the biting coldness made his body quickly feel as if it was about to freeze.
Oops, it looks like I’m really going to become a zombie! I couldn’t help but think to myself, I wonder if explorers who come to this snowy peak thousands of years later will study my bones as fossils?
While she was thinking wildly, the middle-aged woman suddenly spoke: "You bastard, why don't you beg for mercy?"
Only then did Tang Chao remember that he should beg for mercy. He was about to beg for mercy, but suddenly he felt that something was wrong. He thought that since he was stubborn, he would simply fight to the end and said: "Senior Xie, you have underestimated me, Tang Chao. I admire you all my life."
He is a hero and a good man. One person does what he does and the other takes responsibility. At worst, he will die. Eighteen years later, he is a good man again, but he was killed by his senior for no apparent reason. He really did not die in peace!"
When the middle-aged woman heard Tang Chao's words, she initially felt admiration, but what he said next immediately made her angry: "What, kid, are you saying you don't deserve to die? Humph, you deserve to die?"
Tang Chao cried out that he was wronged: "Then tell me clearly, how come I deserve to die?"
"Okay, brat, if I don't tell you the truth, you still think you don't deserve to die, right?"
"Yes, yes, you must tell me, otherwise the ghost will come and ask you after I die."
The middle-aged woman said coldly: "Boy, what did you just say? You said that I am a rare beauty in the world who can make any man in the world fall in love. This is a lie. He, he, in short, what you said
It's a lie." As she said that, her eyes turned red, as if she was thinking of the sad things in her life.
"Master, although Li Gesang is sorry for you, you, shouldn't you vent your anger on Mr. Tang?" Although Xie Lian couldn't move, luckily she could still speak.
"Shut up! It's okay if you don't mention him. As soon as you mention him, I want to ask this brat. He just said clearly that I can, can make all the men in the world fall in love, but why can't, can't..."
After all, she is a woman after all. At this point, she can no longer say it. The Tang Dynasty also understood in an instant that this stunning woman liked this Li Gesang, but for some reason, Li Gesang fell in love with her.
Intentional, ruthless, don't like her.
"Haha, I know!" Tang Chao laughed twice.
The middle-aged woman's almond-shaped eyes widened, as if she was about to kill someone as soon as she spoke. Tang Chao did not dare to neglect, knowing that this woman's personality was very different from others, and quickly said: "Although I don't know what happened between you and this Li Gesang
What, but I guess he will never dislike you. Is it because he doesn’t marry you to be his wife? That’s why you hate men so much. In fact, it’s him you hate. It has nothing to do with me. It’s really a battle between gods and goddesses.
, Mortals suffer, I, the Tang Dynasty, have become your cannon fodder for no reason, do you think I am unjust?"
This middle-aged woman's name is Xie Xiaoyi. She was originally the daughter of the chief of the Yi people in Nanzhao. She fell in love with Li Gesang, the leader of Nanzhao and the king of Erhai County. Originally, three wives and four concubines in the Tang Dynasty were nothing, but the Yi people were weak at that time, just because
Most Yi women are white, tall, and naturally beautiful. In addition, Yi men are not good at martial arts. This has led to many ethnic groups competing to rob Yi women as concubines and even trade them in the market. Li Gesang is the leader of Nanzhao.
, I like Xie Xiaoyi's beauty, but when it comes to marrying a woman from a weak ethnic group as his wife, that is not possible under any circumstances. But Xie Xiaoyi wants him to marry her, and Li Gesang wants her to be his wife. Just because
At this point, there were constant disputes because of Li Gesang's flirting with women. Finally, he couldn't stand her entanglement and had to send someone to expel Xie Xiaoyi from the Erhai Palace.

However, considering the vividness of the story, we took Li Gesang as the ancestor of Nanzhao and placed him in the same era as Li Longji. The time is slightly different, but it is also Confucius who wrote about the Spring and Autumn Period to serve the novel's fiction!
