Chapter 635 Bodhidharma is removed from his clothes
Xiayang Mountain in northern Huazhou became prosperous because the Tai government set up many blacksmithing workshops here to forge armor, weapons, and staffs for the army.
A group of people were riding horses in the wilderness, and soon they were galloping from the plains into the mountains. Since this place is an important military industrial area, the prevention and control measures are more stringent than elsewhere. Not long after this group of knights entered the mountain, they were stopped and interrogated in front of a mountain pass.
"Stop anyone who comes, no further traffic is allowed in front of you!"
Here, a garrison leader held a sword across his hand, stood on the high wall of the garrison and looked down, pointed at the group of knights and shouted majestically.
Li Tai, who was surrounded by soldiers in the team, did not get angry because of this. He just raised his hand to signal Liang Rui to come forward and briefly show the token of his identity to the other party.
The garrison leader still stood proudly on the wall, waiting for his soldiers to hand over Li Tai's token. He looked down at it for a moment, and his expression was suddenly startled. Then he quickly rushed out like a strong wind rolling down from the wall. He walked through the gate of the fort, paid homage to Li Tai, and said, "I don't know that it's General Li who's coming here, but I'm too far away to welcome him. Please forgive me, General Li..."
Li Tai was too lazy to complain about the rudeness of this garrison leader, so he just said with a smile: "We are not going to Zhuye on this trip, so we are buried in Beishan in Changle Cemetery. Several of the Duke's heirs, Bodhidharma, stayed in mourning here. They have been retired recently. Therefore, if you come to greet us, you must take the road here, and please make it easier for us.”
"Convenient, convenient, how can it be inconvenient!"
After hearing the words, the garrison leader nodded repeatedly. Seeing Li Tai's kind attitude, he boldly stepped forward to lead his horse. However, the knights on the left and right saw him approaching rashly. They each snorted coldly and raised their hands. The hilt of the saber.
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and the garrison leader hurriedly stopped after feeling the change in the atmosphere, and then said with an awkward smile: "The general's feats are amazing, a certain idler stationed in Guanzhong All the soldiers are eager to follow the example of the general and make great achievements. I am so excited to meet the general here today. The general is truly unparalleled..."
Seeing the frightened yet somewhat excited expression of the garrison leader, Li Tai smiled and said: "The men from Kansai are so heroic and strong, it's not a pity that we have not worked together before. The days are long, and there will always be people who will go to the battle with us. The opportunity to fight side by side.”
After hearing this, the garrison leader nodded vigorously, with an excited expression on his face, and immediately led several of his soldiers to walk forward, holding a knife in one hand and a cane in one hand to clear the way for General Li, slashing and clearing those that spread to the mountain road. thorn vines on.
Shuhui Hui passed away in the middle of the thirteenth year of Datong, and was buried in Beishan, Huazhou. Then his son Shuofeng, together with his trusted generals, settled in Lubeishan and stayed beside the tomb. Now he is the sixteenth year of Datong. At the beginning of the year, more than two years have passed.
When Li Tai and his party approached the cemetery, several clansmen were already waiting here, and they were led to continue their journey. After turning around a hill in front, the valley opened up, and a stream ran through it. On the north bank of the stream, there were a row of more than a dozen huts, and in the middle was a huge felt tent.
Building a hut to guard the tomb is originally a Han custom, not a Xianbei custom. After all, nomadic production is inherently risky and the returns are not stable. If we do not work and produce for such a long time, let alone the ancestors, the descendants will also be affected. .
However, with the years of war, not many Han people can actually abide by this etiquette, and small households cannot practice it due to their livelihood. And the families of officials are often forced by the situation to take away the favor and stop the courtesy, and take up their duties.
But there are exceptions to everything. It is a pity and heartache that some Hui died in the prime of life. However, he was fortunate to have made outstanding achievements during his lifetime and earned his wife and children the wealth they need to have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives. His sons, some of whom were pure and filial by nature, were still young and far from the age to serve as officials, so they observed all filial piety and did not leave home to mourn even after a year of filial piety.
"Brother Bodhidharma, I'm here to pick you up! We haven't seen you for a few years, do you miss me?"
Li Ya, who was walking with him like this, galloped straight towards the felt tent, shouting loudly at the same time: "We haven't seen each other for a few years. My body and strength are much stronger than before. Don't let me compare you..."
As he spoke, his tone gradually weakened, just because he saw a tall young man walking out of the tent. Li Ya looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar young man and said with some uncertainty: "You, you are my Da Brother Moa?”
"Boy, please be more honest in my Aye Cemetery. If you make any noise again, I won't recognize you with my fists!"
Who else could this young man be? He raised his fist at Li Ya who was shouting, then turned his eyes to Li Tai who was coming from behind, and then his expression became excited: "Ah Brother, I miss you very much! Living in the mountains is boring, I can only listen to my brother’s deeds to inspire me. Now I can work with him, and I will definitely help him achieve great success again!”
"Good boy, it's been a while since I last saw you, and now you are indeed strong and impressive!"
Li Tai looked up and down at the figures in front of him, and when he saw that his physique had already caught up with his own, and he still looked like the red-skinned shrimp before, he couldn't help but sigh and smile.
