A team of more than 300 people led the horse to Tianhua Mountain, along the way Xie Tan and Huang Banxian discussed the hexagram, followed by a bunch of people who were stunned for a while, and the others couldn't understand it, but whenever he finished saying a paragraph, all the people applauded and praised him. Meng Crow's mouth hurt all the way, and he started his performance again, reached out and picked the azaleas on the side of the road and ate them: "It's so fragrant, if we are trapped in this mountain, we can get out alive by eating these flowers and plants, how good." Yo, there's a pheasant, there's a wild boar in front, eh, what's that? Chubby fluffy black and white"

"No, it's an iron-eating beast! Everyone, get out of the way," Huang Banxian exclaimed, only to see the iron-eating beast with black circles under his eyes, white head and white body, and black legs, rushing towards the soldiers carrying the flag in front of him.

The soldier carrying the flag was also not afraid of danger, and as soon as he threw the flag to the side, the man jumped into the grass on the side of the road. The iron-eating beast did not pounce, but bit the flagpole and turned and ran back into the mountains.

Xie Tan sighed: "This iron-eating beast is an ancient divine beast, the mount of the god of war Chiyou, today snatched our flagpole, I'm afraid it's not a good omen, let's not drill the mountain"

Huang Banxian also echoed: "The iron-eating beast has a fierce temperament, and even the sword can be bitten off, it doesn't hurt people today, it only robbed our flag, it is a warning from the sky, Lord Xie is right."

Meng Crow laughed: "Dare to love this iron-eating beast to eat a few of us, that's a good thing?" I really don't understand what you readers have in your head? ”

Murong Ling quickly climbed to the top of a ginkgo tree with his hands and feet to look, and soon returned to the ground and told everyone: "The iron-eating beast is eating the flagpole"

Xie Tan and Huang Banxian were stunned: "There has never been a record of the iron-eating beast eating the flagpole in this ancient book, it's weird."

Li Xiaofei waved his hand at this time: "There are so many bamboos in this mountain, and the flagpole will be replaced by another one, as long as our brother does not lose his life, what kind of iron-eating beast and gold-swallowing beast does he care?" ”

Meng Crow patted Li Xiaofei on the shoulder: "This foolish general told me what I said, let's go, maybe there are some birds and beasts in front, and there may be six legs and ten heads."

A group of people along the way with Meng crow and two old scholars, the atmosphere is a lot more active, all the way over the mountains and mountains to set up a tent camping do not feel tired, the top of the mountain in March can still encounter some snow from time to time, at this time poisonous insects and poisonous snakes have not come out, the group also went smoothly.

It took three days for a group of people to finally walk out of Tianhua Mountain, down to the foot of the mountain in the south, the front gradually opened up, and the group rode a horse and walked three miles, and then came to a pass.

The peach blossoms around the pass are clustered, and there are a lot of red azaleas and white azalulins in the middle of the peach blossoms. Everyone got off their horses to watch this sea of flowers, this flower sponge extended to the east, there was a big river flowing roaring away, to the west up is a straight cliff to cut off the mountain where this pass is located and Tianhua Mountain, the cliff can not see the top, only the clouds cover it. The end is the beautiful scenery in the world, and the beauty of the mountains and rivers is in a mountain.

There is a poem as proof:

The spring water in the east returns to the sea of flowers, and the west is connected to the fairyland to win Penglai

The flowers bloom and fall without stopping, and they live in peace and well-being

There is a section of city wall on the pass, and a huge stone crosses the pass, and there are three big characters in seal script "Wannian Village" engraved on it. There are inscriptions on the left and right sides of the pass walled door, the right side is inscribed with "Bird Song, Flowers, Fragrant Fish and Rice are really blessed", and the left side is inscribed with "Moon Star Lang has a good immortal dwelling in the cave". Xie Tan pointed to the gate of the village and couldn't help but comment, and before everyone applauded, a row of arrows flew from the stone wall on the pass. Xie Tan leaned in front and immediately planted his horse.

Li Xiaofei hurriedly organized defense, but he was still a step slower, everyone only cared about enjoying the beautiful scenery, but they never expected that there were hidden arrows behind such a beautiful scenery. Immediately, more than a dozen people were shot to the ground.

Li Xiaofei led people to retreat towards Tianhua Mountain behind him, and retreated for more than ten miles before stopping, but the person who released the arrow did not chase him out. Li Xiaofei counted the number of people and found that thirteen people had died, and Xie Tan was shot to death in the flowers below the pass.

Qin Shun cried: "The Qin State is so dangerous, we have all come out, Lord Xie actually died here, how should we explain to the emperor when we go back?" ”

Li Xiaofei glanced at the pass: "This 10,000-year-old village, we must take it down and see what the dark arrow hurts?" ”

Meng Crow came over: "Yes, we were all shot dead in front of the walled gate, so we can explain to the court."

Huang Banxian was hit by an arrow in his arm, and he kept shouting while holding the arrow: "Calamity, calamity, tell you to go south over the mountain, now it's okay, kill Master Xie." Stupid, reckless people! ”

Li Xiaofei yelled at Huang Banxian: "Shut up, dare to disturb the army's heart again, my eyes recognize you, and the sword in my hand can't recognize you!" ”

After speaking, Li Xiaofei was about to line up to attack the Zhaimen, but Murong Ling flashed in front of him and stretched out his hand to stop him: "The front of the Zhaimen can't be beaten, don't die in vain"

Li Xiaofei and everyone walked over all the way and were very convinced of this Murong Ling, who rarely spoke, so they all waited for Murong Ling's idea.

However, Murong Ling just returned to the front of the team, did not continue to speak, and did not pay attention to the eyes of everyone looking at him.

Everyone looked at Li Xiaofei again, Li Xiaofei looked ahead again, and stretched out his hand to point to the river: "Chop down trees, prepare rafts, and take the waterway to bypass"

Meng Crow shook his head: "Since this village is called Wannian Village, it is not so easy to bypass, anyway, I will die, my grain and grass officer will take people to the waterway to investigate, and the foolish general is still camped to be prepared, I am afraid that the people in this village will come to attack us again at night."

Meng Crow took three people to quietly cross the mountain forest and went to the river, and Li Xiaofei led people to cut down trees and set up camp. Murong Ling dug a hole by himself near the top of the mountain, Li Xiaofei didn't understand Murong Ling's approach, but he knew that Murong Ling must have his reasons, so he followed.

Murong Ling used a long knife to quickly shovel the soil, and in a short time, he dug a hole in the root of a big tree that could accommodate two people. Li Xiaofei asked him, "Could it be that you want to sleep in this tree hole at night?" ”

Murong Ling shook his head: "Make a fire, I need smoke", just said a few words and went to dig another hole.

Li Xiaofei thought for a while and suddenly realized: "I understand, make a fire on the top of this mountain, the smoke is farther away from the enemy, if the enemy comes to sneak attack, it will go straight to the top of the mountain, and we are on the mountainside to be on guard, we can intercept and kill the enemy halfway." You're such a genius."

Murong Ling only replied: "Hmm", and began to collect dead branches into the dug hole.

Li Xiaofei returned halfway up the mountain, and immediately took half of the men and horses to continue digging holes on the top of the mountain to prepare firewood, and the other half dug a ditch and set a trap on the mountainside. In the evening, they began to make a fire on the top of the mountain to cook, firstly because they were really hungry, and secondly because they bluffed, and they could get smoke everywhere to confuse the enemy.

After the group finished eating, they added firewood, left a dozen people to be responsible for lighting the fire, and the rest went to the halfway up the mountain to ambush. 、

When they arrived, there were drums and shouts at the bottom of the mountain, and countless torches were lit, and Li Xiaofei and the others who stayed in the trench all clenched their swords, guns, swords and axes, and waited for the other party to go up the mountain. After a quarter of an hour of clamour, the torches went out and the drumming stopped. Li Xiaofei sweated in the palms of their hands, their breathing slowed down a lot, and the surroundings were still quiet.

After another hour, everyone was a little sleepy, drums and shouts sounded again at the bottom of the mountain, the torches were lit again, and Li Xiaofei and the others jumped up from the trench, thinking that the enemy had gone up the mountain. Everyone polished their eyes and saw that the enemy was still only clamoring at the bottom of the mountain, and did not attack the mountain.

After another hour, it was almost dawn, Murong Ling woke up all the people who had fallen asleep, said four words: "Go to the top of the mountain", and then pulled Li Xiaofei up and ran.

Although everyone was a little reluctant, they didn't dare to disbelieve Murong Ling, so they all followed Murong Ling to the top of the mountain to stay.

When everyone was about to reach the top of the mountain, they faintly felt that there was something unusual in the sky, and when they looked back, a fire had been burned at the bottom of the mountain, and a south wind blew in the morning, and the wind swept the fire, and the fire carried the wind, and rushed towards the top of the mountain together. Everyone ran to the top of the mountain with their lives, and when they ran to the top of the mountain, most of them were lying on the ground panting.

Murong Ling shouted: "Enter the hole" and pulled Li Xiaofei into a big hole he had dug by himself. Although the crowd was puzzled, they followed suit and jumped into the hole.

The crackling sound of fire was getting closer, but no longer forward, but spreading in both directions. It turned out that there were too many holes dug last night, and the excavated soil covered the low grass near the top of the mountain, and the wind had subsided, so the fire did not reach the top of the mountain.

After staying in the cave for two hours, Murong Ling took Li Xiaofei out of the cave to beckon everyone out of the cave, and everyone patted the mud on their bodies and looked down the mountain, only to see many people waiting at the foot of the mountain with pocket ropes.
