The high stream and spring on the Qinling Mountains, the vegetation is luxuriant, and the most peculiar is the lake on the high mountain, which makes people wonder how many years ago, when the glacier receded, it collected water in the cirque trough valley.

The further you go, the colder the climate becomes, the wind is surging and the green pines seem to float in a sea of clouds.

Due to the deep fog and clouds these days, there is no way to refer to it, and I deviated from the original route for many miles, and I actually lost my way at this time.

However, after inflicting heavy losses on the enemy, Li Liang was afraid that the enemy's support would chase him and entangle, so he rushed into the mountain, holding the mood that as long as he crossed the Qinling Mountains, he could reach the Chu realm, and then he would make plans.

Only by borrowing the help of Li Yuan, Chun Shenjun and others from the Chu Realm can Tian Dan have a chance to escape from the halfway interception of Qin, Yan, Wei and other countries.

It is very easy to act alone, but if you are alone in the jungle, you are very bullied, those hungry beasts, but no matter whether Li Liang is strong or not, they can't sleep well at night when they form a group to hunt for food.

Before dusk, I climbed left and turned right before "camping" in a foggy valley.

At night, the beasts are in hordes, away from the pursuers, and the campfire can now be lit, which is the most effective way to keep the beast away.

Li Liang changed into a fur to protect against the cold, split trees to build a tent, and then covered the surface with thin branches and leaves, and a hidden and comfortable tent was set up.

There is no way, those bears can climb trees, rest in trees or even hammocks between trees, they will be harassed at night, but now they can make fires, only this is the simplest and most direct way. You can sleep soundly at night.

I came back with a mountain deer, smoked it on a bonfire, and made a gadget like a fan leaf. Let it rise under the fire of the bonfire, drive the venison to roll and barbecue, and after adding a few handfuls of firewood, Li Liang left here.

During the hunting process, there was a hot spring outside the valley, although it had the cleaning and decontamination function of "Baidouyi", and Li Liang's whole body was clean and abnormal, but the original habits could not be changed for a while. I didn't wash seriously for many days, and I didn't have the patience for a moment, so I went to the biggest hot spring.

Out of the valley. Suddenly the eyes are bright.

Countless mountain peaks are facing each other, plants are vertically divided according to the topography, and a spring flows through the mouth of the valley, and the heat rises. He swims against the current. Less than 200 steps in the old pine surrounded by a large warm pool about half a zhang wide, more than ten feet deep, like the fairy world in the mountains, magnificent and charming.

The hot springs trickle out of the purple-black granite holes, and everyone can see the hearts of the people.

"Ouch!"

Li Liang suddenly retracted his hand into the spring water, it was too hot! Taken aback.

Li Liang knew that he was just going in the wrong direction, and if he went down, the spring water would have another place to gather. Since it has been exposed to the air for a long time, the temperature should be much more suitable.

There is no rush either. Go downstream, go down and walk more than 500 steps, climb over a few piles of well-distributed boulders, an emerald green pool is embedded in a stone platform like a natural treasure mirror, the surrounding woods are deep, the water in the pool is clear, and the heat is greatly reduced.

Li Liang cheered, probed the water of the lake, felt that it was not bad, and it was indeed a temperature that humans could bear, moved to the high cliff on the other side of the pond, sat down leisurely, and enjoyed the magnificent mountain scenery.

At the bottom of the spring, there is a canyon as deep as 100 feet, with cliffs facing each other, and pines and cypresses standing on the top of the cliffs. In the dim afterglow of the sunset, the fog flutters among the peaks, and the beauty of the scenery is intoxicating.

After watching it for a while, Li Liang recalled the history of the Chu State at this stage.

The state of Chu was indeed extremely strong for a while, occupying almost all the rich lands in the south. Ji Yanran's deceased country, the Yue Kingdom, was finally annexed by Qiang Chu.

In the last years of King Huai of Chu, Qin used Shang Ying's law to become stronger, and its policy of successive and horizontal annexations was victorious, but Chu's joint resistance to Qin was a failure. The two battles of Danyang and Lantian were all defeated by Qin, and the heaviest blow was the loss of Hanzhong and Shang in 600 miles, while Wei took the opportunity to attack the Zheng State adjacent to Chu, so that the Chu State changed the entire national policy, and there were gains and losses since then.

King Huai of Chu was deceived into Qin, died of hardship, and the state of Chu was even more devastated. After King Qingxiang ascended the throne, he was no longer able to expand to the northeast. As before, he continued to encroach on the land, turned to open up the southwest, and sent the general Zhuang Jiao to follow the Yuan River into Yunnan, out of Helan, Keyelang, and established a group of vassal states ruled by Chu. Relying on the support of Yunnan, the Chu people continued to expand to the southwest, occupying large areas of land in Ba and Shu, and their influence reached both sides of the river.

This is also why the Chu people have repeatedly retreated from the matter of resisting Qin in various countries, all because they have no time to look north.

The Chu people's land has increased greatly, which is a good thing, but it must be supported by a strong military force, and the Chu people were forced by the Qin people to move the capital three times. After the Qin people occupied the two counties of Wu and Qian, Zhuang Jiao and other Chu nobles called themselves kings, Yunnan, Yelang, Minshan, and Lan and Di waiting for the country were not subordinate to each other, although the king of Qingxiang had counterattacked Qin and recaptured the fifteen towns beside the river as a county, but it was still in a situation of being beaten.

Now King Xiaolie is forced to accept the state in Qin to seek peace, which has lost half of the country, and must move the capital to the southeast to Juyang. After that, although the Lu State was destroyed again, it was still frequently defeated against the Qin soldiers, and the local forces were prosperous, so they had to move southeast to Yushouchun; The land west of Qingyang is in the hands of Great Qin.

Now it can only survive, and it is difficult for any virtuous person to revitalize the Chu State and unify the six countries.

These hundreds of years has been the history of the annexation of small countries by a strong country, if you talk about how many countries are destroyed, the Chu people can be crowned, unified the southeast half of the country, and have the most extensive and far-reaching influence on the culture of the Central Plains.

One of the main reasons why no other country in the Central Plains has a more diverse culture than the Chu people is that the Chu people have annexed dozens of countries and tribes, blending various cultures together through intermarriage. But in politics has become a burden, among the countries today, the local power of Chu is the most powerful, many times King Xiaolie can not say and do, Chu repeatedly swayed in the matter of resisting Qin, there is really an unspeakable bitterness behind it.

Li Liang's Civic immediately expanded to the entire "China-country" that still did not exist at this time. Thinking that Qin Shi Huang, who would win the government in the future, wanted to unify so many different countries, cultures, nationalities and talents under his banner, he suddenly felt that the world was far away. It is quite a sense of grandeur because he single-handedly created Qin Shi Huang to look at the world.

At this time, the dark sky gradually fell over.

Li Liang threw off his thoughts, untied his clothes, and threw himself into the hot pool.

Climb high and fold low. Uphill and downhill.

After walking in Qinling for five days, not only was he harassed by black bears and wild wolves during the day and night, but he also entangled and killed dozens of bears and wolves to deter them for a while.

Although the Qinling Mountains are still full of peaks and peaks, the scenery is amazing, but he has lost the mood of appreciation. In particular, the howls of wild beasts come and go, as if they were watching all the time, and it is clear that they have followed.

The only good thing is that when you meet them, you have a source of meat. The burden of searching for food is greatly reduced.

Li Liang took advantage of the fine night and recognized the sun, moon and stars, and then determined the general direction and headed towards the southeast. Know the day of crossing the Qinling Mountains. It's time to arrive somewhere in the Chu realm.

After another two days of travel. After the death of two horses, the terrain began to stretch downward, the climate became warmer, and the cold primeval glaciers were no longer seen, and the pine trees were no longer covered with snow.

This night, Li Liang found a platform to rest on the mountain, and after dinner, Li Liang listened carefully, and felt that the sound of wolf howling was concentrated on the low slope in the southeast. Feel weird, listen closely. In the midst of the wolf's howl, there was a sudden sound of someone shouting, and it was extremely chaotic.

Li Liang jumped up, left the nest that had just been warmed, picked up a torch, hurried out, and hurried towards the place where the voice came from.

After climbing a hill and descending a long slope, the sound of the wolf's howl became clear, and he knew who the wolves were besieging him.

I didn't see a human figure in the wilderness for many days, and then I heard the voice of a person, and I felt very kind. What's more, it is now the beast attacking the crowd, and it is certainly not the pursuers who are so numerous that the beast does not dare to provoke.

Li Liang was even more determined to save them.

Before he reached the bottom of the 30-foot slope, more than a dozen wolves smelled his scent and turned around and pounced on him.

They all flew and rushed towards them like more than a dozen electric fires, and Bai Sensen's teeth and green eyes reflecting the light of the fire were terrifying to watch.

Li Liang pulled out a long sword of good quality from the chasing soldiers, and stabbed it out like lightning.

The six wolves fell back to the valley at the bottom of the slope with a terrible hiss, and dozens of wolves still rushed towards him without fear of death.

Li Liang laughed and slashed at the wolves.

Blood splattered, wolves screamed.

Those wild wolves were extremely agile, Li Liang had just chopped off one wild wolf, and the other wolf had already jumped up from the side and devoured his throat.

Li Liang sneered, stretched out his right foot, and hit the wolf in the chest, and the wolf hissed and fell to his death. The sword swung and kicked, taking advantage of the high pressure of the slope, coupled with the torch wielded by Huo Huo, to drive back the other new wolves who had joined and grabbed it.

A vicious wolf rushed over from the side, Li Liang used his ruthlessness, carried his sword, and threw the whole wolf to the side of the slope, crashed into a pile of rocks, fell into minced meat, and blood flowed down the stone wall.

When the sword kept stabbing and slashing, and then kicked over another wolf that was trying to pounce, dozens of wolves were dead and wounded.

The howling of wolves around was significantly reduced, and there was a faint cry at the bottom of the slope.

I didn't expect to meet other people in such a deep mountain and poor valley, and my curiosity and compassion soared, and I thought of the fierceness of the wolf, and drove downhill.

The terrain below the slope is flat, surrounded by mountains, and hundreds of hungry wolves gather at the eastern end, constantly rushing towards the rocky slope.

There was a faint fire at the top of the slope, but it was close to extinguishing.

Because they were hidden in the shadows, they only heard human voices, but they did not see human figures.

When the hungry wolf saw that someone was coming, he dispersed vigilantly, and several rushing heads were stabbed down by Li Liang.

Li Liang kept walking, hunting the hungry wolves that pounced on him one by one.

One by one, the wolves fell, and by the time he reached the bottom of the rocky slope, the wolves had lost nearly half of them, and they scattered far away, not daring to come closer.

Li Liangzhi was frightened, relieved himself, and shouted up: "Who is the friend above, has anyone been injured?" ”

A figure appeared on the top of the slope, hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for the help of the strong man, three of us were bitten by wolves, but none of them were in danger of life. ”

Li Liang listened to his words appropriately, but he seemed to have something unspeakable, or he was wary of his great strength, so he didn't invite him to go up to meet, and he was not surprised, and said loudly: "That is the case, I will drive the wolves away, and my brother will come down to fetch trees and make a fire." ”

Say hello to them. Continue to fight into the wolves.

The wolves had been frightened by the murderer, and in a few moments, the first wolf was killed. Flee and leave......

When I woke up the next morning, the sun had risen for half a day before I got up. While still freshening up, a guest came.

The man was born with big ears, a mighty appearance, a samurai uniform, and a man of great skill, with his left arm bandaged.

It should be the remnants of last night's anti-wolf.

After seeing Li Liang. The man stepped forward and said, "Contemptible Zhuang Kong, I don't know the name of the strong man, I didn't ask for the name of Engong last night." Later, he was heavily reprimanded by his wife, and he came to ask for guilt this morning. ”

Li Liang saw that he still did not reveal his identity, and knew that the other party was accompanied by a female dependent, so he was surprised: "Brother Tai is unwilling to show his identity and hide. Why did you come up again to find out where I came from? It's better for everyone to meet each other and break up. ”

Zhuang Kong didn't expect Li Liang to be so straightforward, and pointed out that he deliberately hid his history, which was very embarrassing, but he was also a very person, and said shamefully: "Engong blames well, he only hates to obey his wife's strict orders, and he is not allowed to show his identity at will." But as soon as I saw Engong. Then he rejoiced in his heart, can he let the contemptible person ask his wife for instructions first. Goodbye Eun Gong. ”

Li Liang smiled at this time: "This matter is avoidable, I also have urgent matters on my body, I have to set off immediately, just forget it!" I wish Brother Zhuang and Mrs. You a smooth journey. ”

Zhuang Kong said earnestly: "Does Engong want to enter the Chu realm?" ”

Li Liang was "stunned" and said: "Isn't this place Hanzhong County?" It should still belong to the land of Qin. ”

Zhuang Kong was stunned and said: "Engong is afraid that he is lost, this is the branch of the Qinling Mountains, across Hanzhong and Nanyang counties, straight to Chu Realm, if the direction is correct, there are still five days away, the contemptible people have gone twice, and they can't be wrong." ”

Li Liang smiled bitterly in his heart, he should have caught up with Teng Yi ten days ago, but now he came to this ghost place. When I remembered the hard hike, I didn't bother to look back.

Now the only way to advance the Chu realm is to try to meet Teng Yi. sighed and said, "Are you also going to the Chu Kingdom?" ”

Zhuang Kong said: "That's right, if the strong man doesn't dislike it, he can go together, and there will be a good one on the road." ”

The other party must have scared the wolves last night, and after seeing his strong skills, he came to him to find a sense of security.

Li Liang pondered for a while and said, "How many of you are there?" ”

Zhuang Kong said: "In addition to the lady, there are five female dependents, a child and fifteen attendants, including the contemptible people. ”

Li Liang thought that with this Zhuang Kong to lead the way, he would not have to embark on a lot of unjust roads. As long as you get out of the Qinling Mountains, you will see you and cherish the road, there should be no problem. Then he nodded in agreement.

Zhuang Kong was so overjoyed that he forgot to ask about Li Liang's surname, and agreed to meet at the bottom of the slope after a while, and hurriedly went.

Looking at this person's clothing style and speaking accent, you can know that this person is a nobleman of the Chu State, and you need to be careful when contacting them.

When Li Liang went downhill, Zhuang Kong and other fifteen men, five women and a child were already waiting.

A small half of the fifteen "attendants" in Zhuang Kong's mouth were wounded, and two of them had wolf scratches on their necks, which was shocking to see. If you just look at it, you can call it a good player, except for Zhuang Kong, there are only two people who can barely be shortlisted.

Most of the women wore cloaks and covered their faces with veils, and although the silhouette was faintly visible, it was not real. The two women without a veil were as thick as oxen, and their faces were not ugly, but they were inconspicuous.

The other three women are all graceful, and at a glance they know that they are noble-born ladies, and there is a kind of hazy mysterious beauty in the half-hidden veil.

One of the women is in very good shape, and she is the oldest, she should be in her early thirties, and it seems that she is the lady in Zhuang Kongkou's mouth.

The child, who was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and was about eleven to twelve years old, saw Li Liang and looked at him with wide curious eyes.

When the five women saw him coming, they all bowed and saluted, and their eyes fell on him to look carefully.

The lady said in a preface: "The concubine's husband's surname is Zhuang, the strong man helped last night, the concubine has no teeth and does not forget, Mr. Unknown has a high surname, so that the concubine can remember it." ”

Li Liang came to her, and after returning the salute according to the number of courtesies, he smiled and said: "Under Li Ran, this trip is to go to Chu State to try your luck and see if you can buy high-quality gold, I didn't expect to get lost, otherwise if I didn't get lost, I wouldn't be able to meet my wife and your family, is this little brother Linglang?" ”

Mrs. Zhuang's eyes stared at Li Liangdao behind the light veil: "It is the little child Zhuang Baoyi, the two of them are the third sister and the fourth sister of the concubine, You Cuizhi and You Ningzhi, and the others are servants from my house." ”

The two women were shyly blessed.

It's just that the scene of rescuing the beauty under the kiss of the evil wolf is a little familiar! (To be continued......)
