The breeze is gentle, the willows are swaying, and the endless Wolong Mountains are like a magnificent picture scroll coming into view, and the most fascinating thing is the main peak - Longjiao Peak!

No one would doubt that it is a twin peak, and the towering peaks are divided in the middle by a natural fissure, sometimes connected, sometimes separated, like ancient sigils deeply carved in the middle of the main peak.

Every spring when the wind is strong, the hole in the middle of Longjiao Peak will emit a huge sound like a dragon roaring and a tsunami, adding some mysterious colors to this magnificent main peak.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Wolong Mountain got its name.

Over time, people in the vicinity began to have the custom of sacrifice, longing for this auspicious mountain to bring rich harvest and happiness to themselves and their families.

There are countless natural caves in the mountains, large and small, the large ones can only accommodate a few people, the small ones can only allow snakes and ants to walk around, as for what will be harvested in the caves is unknown, and few people will take this risk, because the endless beasts and herbs on the mountain are enough to make their lives extremely rich.

The mountain path is like a golden ribbon, which appears and disappears in the mountains, gradually eroded by the weeds on the roadside, and shows signs of being swallowed up, and if it were not for the occasional passing hunters and woodcutters, it might indeed be covered with this new green.

"Mingzhe, let's go back. Xue Yan looked at Mingzhe with anxious eyes, and the young man beside her smiled at her and said, "Ling Zun's leg injury needs divine grass, and you and I will have to rush to Lushu (ancient school) in the future, so there is not much time to waste." ”

Xue Yan stopped talking, looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late, and there are still many wild beasts in the mountains..."

Mingzhe squeezed her hand and said, "I'm here." ”

So, the two of them quickened their pace and walked towards the mountain.

Xueyan's father's injury was caused by accidentally breaking his leg bone while hunting in the mountain, and he heard from the village priest that if he took the sacred grass of Wolong Mountain, he would recover quickly, so the boy and girl came to this Wolong Mountain with their families behind their backs to collect this sacred grass.

They only heard the priest say that this sacred grass has one leaf and five forks, three large and two small, with red bead-like fruits, and thick rhizomes... But I haven't seen this precious herb with my own eyes.

Looking at the new green, the two of them began to be at a loss, where is the shadow of the divine grass.

_

"Let's go to Longjiao Peak and have a look. Mingzhe pointed to the peak road in front of him.

Xue Yan looked at the blood-red sunset and nodded helplessly.

It didn't take long to walk and there was no road, so maybe people who wanted to see the beauty of the mountain were deterred by the steepness of the mountain.

Mingzhe's pace did not slow down because of this, and Xue Yan, who was behind him, frowned and quickened her pace to follow.

"Rest here for a while. Mingzhe pointed to a relatively flat boulder road in front of him.

Xue Yan wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead with a red handkerchief, "It's okay, I have steamed buns and water in my bamboo basket..."

Yes, in the past thirteen years, only this delicate boy has always been by his side, no matter what difficulties he encounters, it is a trivial matter in his eyes, sometimes he is half angry with him, and sometimes there are endless words...

Thinking about it, seeing him looking at him suspiciously, he slowly turned his gaze to the distant sunset, and a crimson floated on his cheeks.

Mingzhe hurriedly scratched his head and said: "Don't worry, there must be a cave in front of you, which can relieve the pain of sleeping in the open." ”

"I'm not... I'm not worried about this, I'm just ... I'm just wondering if the alchemist is just telling me if he's just saying it. Xue Yan's face turned a little red after speaking.

Mingzhe smiled dumbly, pulled a hard-boiled egg and handed it to Xue Yan, took out a scone from the bamboo basket, and munched on the jerky.

_

After they were full of water and food, they came to the cave, and Xue Yan's eyes lit up, "When did you find this place?" looked at Mingzhe's eyes full of admiration.

Mingzhe grabbed his hair and said, "I've been here before, and I accidentally found that the inside is very flat and not damp, so you can sleep peacefully." ”

Xue Yan's eyes widened and said, "Is it the sixth day of junior high school?"

Mingzhe shook his head, "It's the night of the fifth day of the new year, let's go in." ”

_

After entering the cave, the two of them suddenly became enlightened, and in the depths of the flat cave, the bed made of hay attracted Xue Yan's attention, and he stroked the pillow made of hay in his hand and said to Mingzhe, "You got it?"

Mingzhe smiled and said: "Well, if you come to the mountains, you will naturally have some tricks, you rest for a while, and I will prepare." After that, he took out the firewood knife from the bamboo basket and was about to walk towards the entrance of the cave, then patted his head again, turned around and said to Xue Yan with a smile: "Sins and sins, I will build a bonfire for you and I will leave." ”

In the cave that can accommodate more than ten people, only this small bonfire is the most dazzling, and the fluttering flames turn into wisps of light smoke, as if to take people's thoughts away, accompanied by countless hardships, mixed with endless struggles, and turned into nothing.

Xue Yan looked at the fire and was engrossed, and after hearing the crackling sound at the entrance of the cave, she turned her head and saw Mingzhe coming back from cutting a large pile of thorns, piling them at the entrance of the cave, and hurriedly asked, "What do you want?"

Mingzhe didn't raise his head and said, "Prevent evil wolves." ”

These words added a little paleness to Xue Yan's originally white face, "Will the evil wolf come here?" Xue Yan's voice trembled.

"It's okay, with this thorn here, plus my ancestral treasure, hum, those animals can't get close. ”

Xue Yan's face was obviously more disbelief than agreement, when she saw Mingzhe take out two grass balls from the bamboo basket, the look of disbelief occupied the absolute upper hand, pointing to the grass balls and saying to Mingzhe: "What is this your family's ancestral treasure?"

Mingzhe looked at Xue Yan's red cheeks, smiled, and brought the grass ball in his hand to Xue Yan's nose, "Smell it, it's more effective than knives and guns!"

Xue Yan sniffed, a bad smell came to her face, she hurriedly covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and said vaguely: "This thing really works?"

Mingzhe said confidently: "This is what my father told him when he was young, a sacred object must be used to go up the mountain, I can't remember the specific name, as long as it is lit, the beasts will immediately run away when they smell the smoke, as if they want to kill them." Absolutely, don't believe me to light one and try it?"

Xue Yan hurriedly waved her hand, "It's just two bundles, let's save a little, not to mention the taste..."

Mingzhe smiled, "You rest first, I'll guard for a while." With that, he took his 'ancestral treasure' and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

Xue Yan picked up the fire fold and threw it at Mingzhe, and scolded with a smile: "Without it, would you spit fire?!"

Mingzhe picked up the fire fold, scratched his hair again in embarrassment, and didn't listen to the strange sound of 'don't scratch the bald scoop', walked straight towards the entrance of the cave, found a place to sit down by the entrance of the cave, and looked into the distance with bright eyes, not knowing what he was thinking or looking for.
