Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 76 Journey

Datang's infrastructure level is not bad, but that is only limited to official engineering.

The roads inside Chang'an City are well paved, but the situation outside Chang'an City is hard to say.The maintenance of the official road is not bad, but other parts of the non-official road are both good and bad.The densely populated and affluent areas are better repaired, and the general rural villages and towns only have barely smooth dirt roads, and some places don't even have serious dirt roads. It's just yellow dirt roads formed by people walking a lot.In dry weather, when cars and horses pass by, dust is scattered, and no matter how clean and decent people are, they will become ashamed.If it rains, the whole road will turn into a mudflat, and pedestrians will see yellow mud pits every step of the way, and horses and ox carts must be careful not to sink into the pits.

With the level of carriage repair in this era, it is not a good feeling to drive on such a road.

After Li Lijun left Chang'an City, the road he walked on the first day was fairly smooth.She was sitting in the carriage, and she was also leisurely controlling the drone to observe the situation on the ground from a high altitude, adding many details to the map drawn before.By the way, she also paid attention to the hillside woodlands that she could see along the road to see if there was any spiritual energy in them.However, it was disappointing that she got nothing on the first day, and all she passed were ordinary hills.

The first day's journey was basically controlled by Ding Wulang.He was worried that Si Niangzi would not be able to withstand the hardships of the journey due to her weak body at a young age, so she would not be able to walk quickly. He did not expect that Li Lijun survived without incident, and looked fine.On the contrary, the accompanying maids and nuns all looked disheveled.

That night they stayed in a hotel next to the post station in Sanyuan County.The hotel is very big, and they specially reserved three large yards for everyone to live in.When the store saw the distinguished guests, it served them very attentively. Not only did they serve good meat and vegetables for dinner, but they also prepared hot water for everyone to take a bath.It's just that Nanny Cui and the others were too tired, they ate hastily, scalded their feet with hot water, and urged Li Lijun to rest quickly.When they woke up the next day, everyone's complexions didn't improve much, only the fourth lady, Li Lijun, looked as usual, and her complexion seemed to be better than the previous two days.

Ding Wulang is a serious and serious person. He thinks that he was ordered to escort Si Niangzi to travel, so he only needs to put Si Niangzi first in everything.Since Fourth Lady is fine, what does it have to do with him if the others are unwell?It's impossible for him to slow down Fourth Lady's trip just for the sake of a few servants, right?He knew in his heart that both the prince and the successor planned to bury the successor princess after the "March [-]th".They didn't really have much time to lose.So, for the next day's itinerary, not only did he not slow down, but he even urged everyone to go faster.

However, the road they walked on this day was a little worse than yesterday's. There were still several sections of the road that were not smooth, and the carriage was even more bumpy.Although Li Lijun is already a practitioner, his physical strength has been greatly improved, and he will not feel dizzy due to bumps, but he doesn't want to be tossed all day.So she simply used her dress to cover it up, and took the opportunity to practice. Outsiders saw her sitting in the carriage, but her body was suspended in the air, and no matter how the carriage bumped, it had nothing to do with her.It's just that her current mana is still too low, and with this method of cultivation, she can only last two hours a day at most.For the rest of the time, we still have to continue to endure the bumpy journey.She simply folded the paper crane to distract herself and the people around her.

Li Lijun survived calmly, and the other attendants in the car were not so lucky. No matter how distracted they were, they all turned pale and pale. Few of them could eat at lunch In the evening, even Nanny Cui would confess to Li Lijun, saying that she couldn't hold on to her old bones, she had to go down to rest first, and couldn't serve the little lady for dinner.

Naturally, Li Lijun would not make things difficult for her, and by the way, he also dismissed Mrs. Shao and Erhong.

Erhong refused to leave. She has always been physically stronger than others. Although she has suffered a lot today, she can still hold on. When you grow up, Mrs. Shao is not in good health, so they will rest after rest. But if I am gone, who will be left next to the little lady? You can't ask those poor women to serve you to eat and wash. "

Li Lijun laughed dryly, in fact, she wished she could be alone for a while.

Of course, she wouldn't tell the truth, so she changed the subject: "The place where we live tonight is called Yiting City, right? It seems to be the seat of Fuping County? Is Dingling here?"

Erhong heard something mentioned by the proprietress of the hotel before: "Dingling is in Fuping County, but it is a little north, and there is still a distance from Yiting City. Xianling is in the southwest, maybe it is closer Of the several candidates for the cemetery submitted by the officials of the royal family, one seems to be near Dingling, right? Fengshui should be good. Would you like to visit it tomorrow, my lady?"

No, Li Lijun doesn't know whether Dingling's feng shui is good or bad, but she has heard stories about Dingling's catastrophe in the world of the Republic of China from her elders.Even if the imperial tomb is like this, the attached tombs have not escaped. If the Chen family is buried here alone, God knows what will happen?Even if she can set up anti-theft measures, the validity period may not exceed 200 years, so she should stay away...

Li Lijun decisively crossed off the land near Dingling on the list, and set off early on the third day, heading straight to Fengxian County (now Pucheng County).

This day, although everyone was also very tired, but perhaps after two days of running around, they got used to it a little bit, so the carriage ran faster than the previous two days, and no one was knocked out.In such a hurry, they arrived at the large hotel outside Fengxian County after dark.

The scale of this hostel is larger than the two previous ones, and the interior decoration is more gorgeous.Li Lijun listened to the people around him, saying that the bridge mausoleum is here. At the beginning of the construction, many officials came and went here. After the bridge mausoleum was built, important officials and clans buried the bridge mausoleum one after another. There are more nobles.In addition to the royal family who must send people to sacrifice every year, the relatives, friends and descendants of the buried person will also come to offer incense and worship every anniversary festival.

Fengxian County is more than 200 miles away from Chang'an City, and most of the guests coming from Chang'an City want to stay locally.The scale of the local inn is limited, and they can't catch the eyes of the nobles, so some people specially opened several private hotels inside and outside the county, which are exquisite and spacious.That is, in recent years, there have been fewer customers.After all, almost all the people who can be buried in the bridge mausoleum are almost dead, and those who are still alive are likely to be buried elsewhere.

In addition, the officers and soldiers guarding the mausoleum also have consumption needs.

Li Lijun liked this hotel very much. The place where she lived was on a higher terrain, and the area was much larger than other places, even wider than her courtyard in the Sui Palace.There are three main rooms in the courtyard. Standing on the steps in front of the door, overlooking the north, you can clearly see the rolling mountains under the starry sky.

This evening, her group passed by Qiaoling before entering Fengxian County.Standing here now, she can recognize Fengshan, where the bridge tomb is located, as part of that mountain range.

When she scanned the mountain range slowly and turned to the northeast, she could see several towering peaks in that direction. On the top of one of the peaks, there was a faint aura of spirituality. Compared with the top of Zhongnan Mountain, There is also a layer of golden light faintly revealing in this piece of pure spirit.

Li Lijun feels that she is very lucky. It has only been three days since she set off, and she has already found a mountain with spiritual energy.

But at the same time, she is unfortunate.

Because that mountain obviously has an owner.
