Qiyun said goodbye to Helian and Helianchang, she walked to the stable and picked a good horse, rode to the gate of the imperial city, showed Helianding's gold medal, and the guards respectfully let him go after checking it. Qiyun didn't dare to stay in Chang'an City, and when he went out of the city gate, he immediately rode his horse and whipped his horse, and the horse spread its hooves and galloped all the way to the east.

After a short time, Qiyun bumped all the way, and when he arrived at Tongguan, a sergeant with a beard came forward to investigate. Qiyun got off the horse and took off the gold medal from his waist for him to check, and the beard looked at Qiyun carefully up and down.

When Qiyun was inspecting, she looked around, and out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that near the Tongguan City Gate, there were two men staring at her. The two men saw her eyes sweeping over and hurriedly pretended to bow their heads to drink tea.

Qiyun's heart tightened, her palms were sweating, and she felt that it had been a long time. The sergeant finally returned the gold medal to her, leaned to the side, and motioned for her to let go. Qiyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and rode his horse and slowly left Tongguan.

After hitting the road, Qiyun always felt that someone was following her, but when she looked back, she didn't find a single figure behind her. Not far from Tongguan is Fenglingdu, where you cross the Yellow River, you will leave the range of the Xia Kingdom, which is the fastest way to leave the Xia Kingdom.

When she was approaching Fenglingdu, she saw two men in front of her from a distance, faintly the two suspicious people at the gate of Tongguan City. At the moment, Qiyun was worried in her heart, if those two men were coming for her, if they arrested her back, wouldn't her thoughts be wasted? If you re-enter the customs and return to Chang'an, and disobey Helian Bobo, I am afraid that there will be no place to die.

Qiyun thought about this, and at the moment, despite the exhaustion of his body, he hurried to the Longmen Ferry, which was hundreds of miles away to the north. Looking at her distant back, the two men glanced at each other, and one of them released a carrier pigeon into the air. Qiyun didn't know anything about this, and went straight to the Longmen Ferry.

Since the capital of many dynasties was in Guanzhong, the goods from the north needed to be transported to the capital, and the Yellow River became the main channel, and Longmen was an important ferry connecting the Qin and Jin regions, and ships from the upper and lower reaches of the Yellow River gathered here.

Qiyun got on the boat, and saw that there were loading, unloading, picking, and lifting on the dock, and you were very busy. There are many temples, shrines, theaters, pavilions, etc. on the mountain rocks on both sides of the Longmen, which are magnificent and magnificent. The iron bell on the corner tower shook the sky. The Yellow River laps against the riverbank, and the water is shining. There is a stone gate a few kilometers up the river from the ferry. The water of the Taotao River discharges from the stone cliff that is only a few tens of meters wide, and the canyon channel above the stone gate is narrow, the water flow is turbulent, and the mountains are sparkling, which makes people intoxicated. Below the stone gate, the river channel is wide, the water flow is gentle, and it is vast and magnificent. She couldn't help but chant:

The two sides of the strait are in turmoil, and the sand is flat.

The flat boat depends on the ferry, and it is difficult to go back and forth.

A middle-aged boatman on the side of the side has been at Longmen Ferry all the year round, has seen some of the world, seeing Qiyun dressed luxuriously, handsome and handsome, knowing that Lu Dao is not an ordinary person, etc., he said with a smile: "Childe is so eloquent, although I don't understand what you are chanting, but I know that you must be admiring the majestic scenery of Longmen." Childe, am I right? ”

Qiyun smiled: "Uncle, what you said is very right. I saw that the weather and scenery above and below this stone gate were different, and I couldn't help but admire the magic. ”

"Childe, don't you know that the river above the stone gate is narrow and is called the mountain river. Below Shimen, the river channel is open and is called the Ping River. Not far from the north of this dragon gate, there is Hukou Waterfall, where the scenery is even more spectacular! Seeing that Qiyun was attracted by the scenery of Longmen, the boatman couldn't help but recommend the Hukou scenery to him.

"Hukou Waterfall, you must go if you have the opportunity." Looking at the towering stone gate, Qiyun asked: "Uncle, do you say that this is the legendary place where Dayu opened mountains and controlled waters?" ”

The boatman replied, "Childe is right, this stone gate is also known as Yumen. ”

Qiyun asked again: "That's also the dragon gate that people call the carp jumping over the dragon gate." Did the name of the dragon gate come from this? ”

"Exactly, when I was a child, I heard that every year in the spring of March, when the ice and snow melt, there are yellow carp that gather at the dragon gate and compete to jump. In a year, there are only 72 people who can jump onto the dragon gate. ”

Qiyun remembered that it was recorded in the "Records of Famous Mountains": The Yellow River has come here, going straight down thousands of miles, and the water is undulating, like a mountain and boiling. Both sides of the strait are cliffs and broken walls, only Shennong can be crossed, so it is called "Dragon Gate". She asked again: "Uncle, have you been ferrying in this Longmen for many years?" ”

"Childe, don't you know, I'm a local, an old man who has been ferrying for decades. At this point, all ships and cargo had to be handed over to local boatmen, because some of the Longmen rivers were very narrow, with fast currents and many undercurrents. Ordinary people can't control ships. ”

Qiyun's heart was shocked, "Sailing in the rapids, isn't it very difficult for you to do this work?" ”

"Don't hide it from the son, in this mountain and river boat, the boat breaks and people die often, and ordinary people can't do it, but it's okay to be careful. What's more, in this troubled world, because Longmen is a transportation artery, people have to rely on us boatmen to ferry. No matter what general calls, he will not embarrass us, but will treat us well. Therefore, although the Central Plains is in turmoil, our ancestors can still sail here for generations. "The boatman who is accustomed to the wind and rain looks indifferent, and only gossip.

"This is really a blessing for Seon to lose his horse." Qiyun sighed.

The boatman smiled honestly, "Yes, there are two sides to everything. In the troubled times, it is not easy for people to live, everything is good to look at, people are happy, and they earn a day when they live, hehe. ”

"Uncle, what you say is very reasonable, and your knowledge is better than that of many scholars."

"Thank you for the compliment, although we are vulgar, we also have the joy of life and the spirit of living." As he spoke, the boatman raised his voice and began to sing the boatman's horn, and the other boatmen sang in unison. The sound of the boatmen's horns resounded throughout the Longmen Canyon, and the singing flew for a while, which echoed with the sound of the Lang waves of the Yellow River, and it was an extremely majestic and beautiful movement in Qiyun's ears.

After leaving Longmen, he entered the territory of Shanxi in Wei State. Leaving the Xia Kingdom, like a bird leaving the cage, Qiyun felt a lot more relaxed, remembering what the boatman said to her, along the Yellow River to the north is Hukou Waterfall, can't help but be fascinated, so she rode a horse to Hukou.

The road was light and fast, and before I reached the edge of the canyon, I heard the earth-shattering roar of a beast in the distance, which resounded through the sky. Qiyun dismounted and approached, a burst of white water mist came to his face, only to see the Yellow River flowing here, and the Cangshan on both sides of the river confronted each other, confined the water of the Yellow River in the narrow canyon, making the river water gather. The water of the Yellow River is like tens of thousands of cattle roaring down, splashing like jade pulp.

The waterfall roared and roared, the mist rose into the air, and the rushing river leaped into the deep pool, and the waves rolled like hot water boiling in a giant pot. The giant Lang poured into the valley floor, stirring up clouds of smoke, the sun reflected the mist, and a rainbow lay on the waterfall, the scenery was extremely magnificent and strange.

Qiyun stood on the shore, feeling the coolness brought by the bursts of mist. Her mood was agitated, she tore off the mask on her face, threw it into the Yellow River, took off her hood, and her hair danced wildly in the wind. Towards the rushing waterfall, he put his hand to his mouth, clenched it into a trumpet shape, and shouted loudly. The wind was too strong, the waves shook the sky, and Qiyun couldn't hear what he was shouting, only that the heaviness of fear that had been stuck in his chest for months had dissipated.

After Qiyun waved and shouted, she noticed that she was not the only one on the shore of the canyon, and not far away stood a young man in white, looking at her quietly. She smiled at him shyly, and Qiyun couldn't help but smile when she looked back.

Before the turbulent waves of the Yellow River, there was such a man standing quietly, making Qiyun suspect that he was an immortal. I saw that his facial features were all beautiful, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a nose like a shaved jade, and lips like a young man. In the faint sunlight, the skin is as white as jade, like the morning glow. He wears a jade crown on his head, with satin-like black hair, and a white tunic brocade robe reflects his tall and extraordinary figure.

Qiyun thought that he knew all the beautiful men in the world, and left home when he was young to Jiankang and grew up with the Liu brothers.

Qiyun silently compared in his heart, the Liu brothers were gentle and elegant, handsome and beautiful, like a heron standing alone in the water town. The Buddha is noble, deep and intelligent, like a wolf king who elusively appears in the snowy region; The prince of the Helian clan is heroic and vigorous, like a goshawk soaring on the grassland; Then this person in front of him is like ...... Just like a phoenix, the white phoenix that is alone in the world on the iceberg is handsome and beautiful.

Not far behind him stood two women, both dressed in white dresses, with light veils, graceful figures, and noble temperaments.

When the man saw Qiyun looking over, his clear eyes glanced coldly and looked at the waterfall. Qiyun's mood was open at this time, and he didn't feel embarrassed. After a while, I saw the man Shi Shiran turn around and leave, followed by the two women, and the three of them fluttered away in white clothes, like a picture. Qiyun silently admired it for a long time, and slowly left the mouth of the pot and went to the important town and state.
