The sound of horses' hooves is particularly loud in the canyon, like rolling winter thunder.

After a while, a man and two horsemen appeared in the eyes of everyone, and the horse's hooves flew up, stepping on the dead branches and leaves on the ground, and galloped forward.

Sun Jingluo glanced at the scene in front of him, saw a group of strangers, many of whom were injured, he looked up at the lazy swordsman on the boulder again, and had a little calculation in his heart, tidied up his clothes, turned over and got off the horse.

When the group saw that it was a young scholar, the nervous expression on his face eased a lot, and the old man stepped forward, bowed, hesitated slightly, and shouted "Sir."

The old man turned his head and glanced at the swordsman on the big stone, and when he saw that he didn't come down to greet the young scholar in front of him, he hesitated a little in his heart, wondering if the young scholar in front of him was the "adult" in the swordsman's mouth.

Sun Jing generously returned the salute to the old man, and said: "It's polite, my surname is Sun, I want to go to Wuzhou City in the south, passing by here." ”

After finishing speaking, he went to see the black strange snake coiled on the ground but no longer alive, Rao is his Sun Jingluo has read a lot of books, and traveled to most of Kyushu, but he can't recognize the strange snake in front of him.

When he saw the girl beside the old man, his eyes lit up, and he saw that although the girl was dressed in cloth and hairy, and her face was full of dust, it was difficult to hide her beautiful face.

What attracted Sun Jingluo was that she seemed to be a weak girl, but there was a little less gentleness between her eyebrows, more heroic spirit, and a warrior's temperament.

Seeing that the girl was staring at her with a pair of big eyes, Sun Jingluo smiled at her and forehead, and her eyes did not hide her appreciation.

For Sun Jingluo's scorching gaze, the girl did not show shyness and avoidance, but met Sun Jingluo's gaze generously, with a trace of curiosity in her eyes.

When the old man saw the young scholar in front of him speaking kindly, a smile appeared on his face, "We are also passing by this canyon, and we don't want to meet this beast, if this young man hadn't rescued him in time, we would have been more than lucky." ”

When everyone heard the old man talk about the strange snake on the ground again, they still had palpitations in their hearts when they remembered the thrilling scene just now, and the remaining knives in the hands of Xiao Yuewei were still tightly held and unsheathed.

At this time, the witch knife on the boulder flew down, walked to Sun Jingluo's side, faced the old and the young and those young men holding the odd-shaped knife, and said: "You don't have to be so nervous, if I want to do something to you, I won't save you, this is my family, and he is very good." ”

Wu Dao's sentence "others are very good", listening to Sun Jingluo's ears, the meaning was a little obscure, nothing else, he smiled and nodded: "Yes, we have no malice, we just happened to pass through here." ”

The girl stretched out her hand and touched the old man, and said softly: "Grandpa Wu, I don't think this son and this young man are bad people. ”

After the girl finished speaking, she saluted generously to Sun Jingluo's master and servant, and the tone in her mouth was sincere, "Xiyue thanks the son and the young man for saving their lives, if it weren't for the young man's action, I and the clansmen would have died here." ”

Although the girl said the elegant words of the Gale Dynasty, her pronunciation was not very pure, but in Sun Jingluo's ears, it had a different flavor.

Sun Jingluo also saluted: "The girl is not polite, she just happened to pass by." ”

Wu Dao glanced at Sun Jingluo, his eyes were full of complicated emotions, but he didn't make a sound, but turned around and walked towards the strange snake on the ground.

I saw the witch knife look at the pitch-black strange snake back and forth, and finally took out a small exquisite brocade bag from his arms, put it on the palm of his left hand, and then pinched the fingers of his right hand, muttered a few times in his mouth, only to see a black light flash, and the black strange snake coiled on the ground disappeared.

When the old man saw this situation, his eyes that were originally a little dizzy flashed a fine light, and when he looked at Sun Jingluo again, his expression obviously changed, a young scholar's entourage, not only strong in martial arts, mysterious knife skills, but also with the legendary Taoist "close to the square inch" magic weapon.

In the vigilance, he had some thoughts, so he said: "I heard Mr. just now that he said that he was going to Wuzhou City, it just so happened that our group was also going to Wuzhou City, if Mr. didn't dislike it, how about we have a companion?"

Sun Jingluo was looking forward to the opportunity to stay with the girl for a while, and when he heard the old man say this, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and said happily: "It's so good, I can't ask for it below." ”

Fortunately, he still has some rules and demeanor of a scholar, and he didn't take advantage of this to pay attention to the girls around the old man, but Sun Jingluo already had some "spring breeze pride" in his heart, and even he didn't know how to do this.

Naturally, the witch knife had no opinion, and the two of them did not ride horses, but only held them in their hands.

The witch knife walked in the front, Sun Jingluo led the horse and the old girl side by side, walking in front, and those young men with odd-shaped knives walked at the end.

Since then, the mysterious and dangerous Tiger Rush Grand Canyon has calmed down a lot.

When a golden touch of gold in the sky disappeared under the western sky, the group came to a large river.

The surrounding mountains are vast, and there is no trace of them, only the white river and the mountains reflect each other.

In early summer, the evening in the wild is very lively, and before the tired birds return to their nests, they frolic to their heart's content at the end, and some unknown insects and pigs compete to run out and sing loudly.

"Mr. Sun, it's getting late, let's rest here for one night, and cross the river tomorrow, how about it?" the old man asked Sun Jingluo.

Sun Jingluo was raising his eyes to look at the river, feeling comfortable and happy, hearing the old man asking, he said loudly: "Okay, staying by the river at night, the sky should be used as a bed, there are insects to sing, and the bright moon and breeze are companions, it must be a beautiful thing." ”

The girl not far away smiled reluctantly: "Sir is really a scholar, and he talks about sleeping in the wilderness so poetically. ”

Hearing the girl's praise, Sun Jingluo was overjoyed and in a better mood.

After receiving the old man's instructions, the young men began to collect firewood and grass, catch fish and make fires, and so on, and everything was as if they were often done.

The Witch Knife tied the two horses to each other, and then sat leisurely with the knife on the side, not joining the crowd.

In this regard, Sun Jingluo also let him, in the past few days, all living arrangements have relied on him, and Wu Dao really only acts as a personal guard in a regular manner, except for being responsible for his safety, he does not interfere in other things.

Sun Jingluo originally wanted to help, but he looked like a scholar who didn't touch fireworks, and the old man seemed to respect him very much, and didn't let him interfere, just pulled him aside to stand.

Sun Jingluo looked at the busy figures of everyone, appreciating the scenery of the wilderness after the sunset, and his heart gradually became extremely peaceful.

This state of mind, in the high-gate compound of brocade clothes and jade food, can not be comprehended, only by putting aside all the fetters of the world, in this far away from the prosperous countryside and mountains, can we achieve such a heart and scenery.

At this moment, Sun Jingluo felt that he seemed to be much closer to heaven and earth.

Not far from the river, the girl squatted by the water to wash, and the color of the landscape reflected the exquisite back, revealing a beautiful picture.

Sun Jingluo felt that this girl named Xiyue was more fit and aura than the young ladies in the big families of the Chu Kingdom.

After the girl washed her hands and face, she opened her hair again, and a bunch of cyan slid down her shoulders, looking extremely soft, making Sun Jingluo, who had always been far away from women, look straight at it.

When he accompanied His Royal Highness to the soft embroidery street in Junshan City, there were many flowers and warblers, which once dazzled him and made his heart ripple.

When he saw the girls by the river at this time, he suddenly felt that the women he had seen before were just canaries who had been locked in cages and deliberately dressed up in fancy clothes, with neither life nor aura.

Now in this comparison, there is a feeling that the phoenix birds are in front of me and the chickens are discolored.

Dinner is grilled fish, Sun Jingluo felt strange, those men who looked at the five big and three thick, but the grilled fish meat was really delicious, he ate three in a row alone, and then embarrassedly pushed away the grilled fish handed by the girl, although his mouth was full, but his heart was still unfinished.

After dinner, the young men began to take turns to keep watch, and the witch knife stepped aside and sat down on the river, holding his thunder in his arms.

This area has been cleared by the young men and used as their camp for the night camp.

Sun Jingluo and the old and young sat not far from the fire, and the riverside on a summer night was very comfortable.

A bright moon hangs in the sky, the bright moon shines on the earth, and the mountains and rivers appear gray, like a light white veil.

The girl bent her legs against her chest, leaned on her legs with her hands, supported her chin with her palms, and stared intently at the river in the distance, and her big eyes looked unusually bright in the moonlight.

"The river is so beautiful in the moonlight. The girl whispered.

Sun Jingluo nodded slightly and agreed: "Yes!"

He wanted to say two lines of poetry to respond to the scene in front of him, but he didn't know why, he usually had a quick mind, but now he became stupid, and he didn't come up with a poem that matched the situation for a long time.

As a result, the more I thought about it, the more irritated I became, and finally I had to give up with a sense of loss.

I heard the girl ask again, "Sir, do you know where the river in front of you comes from and where it flows?"

This is known to Sun Jingluo, who is familiar with astronomy and geography, he cleared his throat and introduced the girl to the girl: "The river in front of me is called Yuanshui, and the Jingshui in the north are both from the depths of Yunmeng Mountain, and finally flow into Junshan Lake, do you know Junshan Lake?"

The girl nodded very seriously, "I heard my father say that it is the largest and most beautiful lake in Chudi, and I heard that there are many legends about Junshan Lake. ”

The old man on the side listened to the conversation between the two silently, and did not speak, nor did he stop the girl.

Sun Jing tidied up his clothes slightly, and then sat upright, as if listening to lectures and discussing books in the academy, "The large and small rivers of Chu, whether north or south, will eventually flow into Junshan Lake, which is the place where the white streams of Chu converge, and Junshan Lake is north of the big river and east to the sea. Therefore, according to legend, there is a dragon from the sea along the river upstream, into Junshan Lake, and finally entrenched at the bottom of the lake. ”

Sun Jingluo's words not only aroused the girl's curiosity, but also aroused the old man's mind.

"Mr. Sun, is there really a dragon in this world?" the girl sat up straight, turned her head to look at Sun Jingluo and asked.

Sun Jing smiled slightly embarrassedly and said, "I don't know much about this, I also read it from a book and listened to the old man." ”

"Can you tell me about it?"

The girl's request, Sun Jingluo was unwilling, and he was 100% willing to serve, he took a breath, and then narrated: "Qianli Junshan Lake, since ancient times, in spring and autumn, the lake will be flat and rippling, wind and rain, the lake water pours into the river, causing monstrous waves, overturning countless fishing boats in the lake. The villagers who live near the lake have lived here for generations, and their ancestors have lived by fishing for generations. It is often said that relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water. That's what I'm talking about. ”

A gust of wind blew, with a hint of watery smell, and the sound of unknown insects rose and fell, as if it was cheering Sun Jingluo's narration.

"Legend has it that since Jiaolong entrenched in Junshan Lake, fishermen who went out of the boat often disappeared and never returned. Finally one day, there was a village surnamed Xu, and the eldest son and second son of a family went out to the lake to fish, and they went out for more than a month and did not come back. The father of the family sat and waited at the entrance of the village every day, facing the vast lake, a pair of old eyes were looking at it, seeing that he was getting thinner and older, and the already gray hair on his head was gradually turning white.

In the end, the old man did not wait for the two sons to come back, and lay on the bed before he breathed, grabbed the little daughter's hand tightly, and did not even close his eyes when he swallowed.

The youngest daughter of the old man, with the help of the villagers, buried the old father, and on the second night after the first seven, the little sister of the Xu family silently put on the clothes she wore when she got married, dressed up beautifully, rowed out of the lake alone at night, and never returned to the village. ”

The girl waited for a pair of big eyes, and looked at Sun Jingluo without flashing, and her expression became a little nervous.

"And then?" asked the girl excitedly.

Sun Jing sighed lightly, and continued to speak with a somewhat low face.

Since then, the lives of the fishermen have returned to peace, and the fishermen who went to the lake to fish have not disappeared for no reason, but sometimes the fishermen who have been killed have been mysteriously rescued.

The villagers all think that it is the blessing of the little sister of the Xu family, in order to thank the little sister of the Xu family for the kindness of sacrificing herself to eliminate harm, the villagers press the god position for the little sister of the Xu family in their respective homes, and they will worship incense every New Year's holiday.

At that time, the Kyushu co-owner patrolled the world, and when he passed by Xujia Village, he was moved by the deeds of the little sister of the Xu family, so he ordered the local state capital to build a temple next to Junshan Lake for the little sister of the Xu family, and set up a golden body, and named her Mrs. Junshan, enjoying a side of incense. ”

After Sun Jingluo finished speaking, he glanced at the girl, and saw that she bowed her head and was silent, so he didn't bother, and raised his eyes to look at the river under the moonlight.

After a while, the girl whispered, "It turns out that this is how the Junshan Lady Temple came. ”

Then she recited in a low voice: "Tears in Junshan Lake, sadness through the ages." ”
