Chapter VI Mourning VI
After a long journey, Ling Hu Chong and the other four finally came to a water beach, and the towering and dangerous mountain on the other side of the water beach was the black wood cliff on the rivers and lakes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 There was a small boat docked at the water's edge, and the captain of the boat had a white filial piety cloth tied to his left arm, and he was lazily leaning on the oars and falling asleep. Linghu rushed to him and asked, "Boatman, can you take us there?"
The captain opened his sleepy eyes and asked, "Do you have a free pass?" If not, you have to give me 100 copper coins each!" Ling Hu said, "I don't have this free certificate, so I'll give you 400 copper coins." However, as a member of the Sun and Moon God Sect, you did not fulfill your duties, and you actually started this kind of business, which is very strange. ”
When the captain heard that there was money to be made, he hurriedly gestured to ask Ling Hu Chong and the other four to get on the boat, while explaining, "Hey, there is no way to do it." The benefits of the Divine Cult are not good, and on the Black Wood Cliff, everyone is hungry with gruel and wild vegetables. If I don't make a little money, I'm afraid I'll starve to death here like the other two captains. Ling Hu Chong and Ren Yingying couldn't help but look at each other when they heard it.
When I came to the opposite bank, I saw a narrow path winding upward, hidden in the depths of the clouds. Ling Hu Chong and Ren Yingying are not afraid, and Ling Hu An is barely a half-sized child, even if he walks more than ten miles of mountain roads, it will not be a big problem. Only that Ling Hu Ning, because he was still young, learned that he was going to climb such a steep hill, and he was immediately frightened and cried. The captain smiled beside him, "It's okay, it's okay." I saw him clapping his palms, and after a while, two people came rushing with bamboo chaise longensis. The captain said to the two of them, "Mountain Tiger, Ah Leopard, you two quickly bow to this uncle and his wife, they are both your food and clothing parents." When the mountain tiger and Ah Leopard heard about it, they hurriedly put down the recliner, bowed to Linghu Chong and Ren Yingying, and said hello repeatedly. Linghu Chong originally wanted to carry Ning'er all the way up the mountain, but seeing this situation, he was embarrassed to say that he would not help them in this business. Linghu Chong hugged Ning'er on the recliner, arched his hand to the two, and said, "It's over." After walking a few steps, Ling Hu Chong saw that the two of them were ragged and haggard, thought about it, put An'er on the recliner again, and told them that the price would be doubled. Looking at the smiling appearance of the mountain tiger and A leopard, Hu Chong and Ren Yingying couldn't help but cry.
When I arrived at the main altar, it was already noon, and the sun was shining on my head, making people drowsy. Look around, a huge archway square, is empty, only the huge archway of white marble stands alone, the four big characters on the archway "Ze is the common people" has completely faded the gold paint, do not look carefully and even can't make out the handwriting. And the stone road leading to the top of the light is even more broken bricks and gravel, which looks tattered and full of weirdness. Linghu rushed to the mountain tiger and Ah Leopard and asked, "Why is there no one to defend the altar?" Ah Leopard smiled bitterly, "Hey, they are all so poor that they are about to run out of cooking, what are they doing on defense? Who will come to steal and who will come to take it? Besides, everyone can't even eat enough, how can they have the strength to stand guard? As early as last winter, all the sentry posts on the Black Wood Cliff were removed. There are thousands of households up and down the Black Wood Cliff, and now it is really the road that is not left behind, the night is not closed, and the folk customs are simple to the extreme. ”
Ling Hu Chong was puzzled, "However, why did the Sun Moon Divine Sect send 10,000 taels of silver as a congratulatory gift at the ceremony of the Jingning Dao Chief of the Kongtong Sect last year, making it stand out among the major sects of the martial arts?"
Shanhu sighed, "Who knows? Shangfeng said that what shows the responsibility of the rivers and lakes, we little minions can't control so much." ”
Linghu Chong also knew that he couldn't find anything from the mouth of the mountain tiger and a leopard, so he gave them some silver money and asked them to go down the mountain first. Then, Ling Hu Chong took his wife and children and walked slowly towards the top of the light. After walking a short distance, a group of half-grown children suddenly poured out from all directions, and as soon as they rushed up, they knelt down and kowtowed to Ling Hu Chong and Ren Yingying, and shouted something, "Hero, okay, we haven't eaten for two days......" Ling Hu Chong looked at their faces, thin bodies, and knew that it was true. But he has always been willing to be poor, how can he have so much money to support this large group of children? As he was hesitating, he heard someone shouting in a hurry in the crowd, "The Holy Aunt is here, go quickly." Linghu Chong followed the prestige, only to see the holy aunt wearing heavy filial piety to the evening, and was hurrying over with Bald Pen Weng, Dan Qiusheng and others. In the late spring of the year before last, when he traveled to the northwest in the evening and passed through Jincheng Anning Fort, he had come to pay respects. Therefore, Linghu Chong knew it at a glance.
Xiang Wan knelt at Ling Hu Chong's feet and kowtowed heavily, crying silently. Ling Hu Chong was also full of emotion, but he didn't know what to say. Instead, Ren Yingying helped Xiang Wan up and comforted her, "People can't be resurrected after death, please be sure to mourn your younger sister." ”
