Chapter 37: Phoenix Mountain (5)
Han Shou Dong.
Phoenix Mountain.
The floating clouds are not the same as this mountain, and the mountains are misty and confused.
The thick white fog surrounds the top of the Phoenix Mountain all year round, as the remnant vein of the Xuefeng Mountain, although it is not as steep and continuous as the Xuefeng Mountain Range. But this area on the south side of Dongting Lake can really be regarded as a handsome peak and beautiful.
The entire Xuefeng Mountain is called Phoenix Mountain in the local people from generation to generation, and Phoenix Mountain has several towering peaks, which are also known as Jiufeng Mountain. Its main peak is the most of the nine peaks, it is said that there is a white jade temple in the clouds, and there is a vision of a hundred phoenixes singing together, so it is called Fengming Mountain. The mountain is steep and steep, with many strange rocks, and there is no road to the top of the mountain. All kinds of legends are like the crack in the ground under the mountain, and in the hearts of the people who are full of awe, the miracles of the legend cannot be blasphemed.
Therefore, the legend of Jiufeng Mountain and Fengming Mountain has been spread in the hearts of the people in the surrounding villages and towns for thousands of years, and it is the best material for those woodcutters and hunters who rely on the mountains to brag and bluff.
There is also a wonderful script compiled by the storyteller, wandering in the country market town, or in the restaurant tea shop, or in the market street, a small sandalwood table, the table is covered with this dark blue tablecloth, the tablecloth is bordered by a silver dragon, and there is a lonely peak in the center to break the clouds, Qionglou Yuyu, the golden phoenix is flying, and the jade phoenix spreads its wings.
At this time, Jiang Ge quickly climbed the last staircase in sweat, without stopping, without the slightest idea of trying. Bent over, holding your hands on your bent knees, letting the beads of sweat fall from your cheeks and forehead to the ground.
Jiang Ge, who was panting and grinning, looked left and right, and Lian Shanyang, who came up, threw away the wide leather bag he had been carrying, and sat on a bluestone slab naked, tilting his head and snorting the shriveled water bladder.
On the other side, four Kui Kui stones the size of Jiang Ge had already laid on the stone slab in a large shape, motionless, only a rude gasp remained.
I was thinking of looking for Lie Shanyuan, who had climbed to the top of the mountain in advance, but Jiang Ge, who had just raised his head, was shocked by the scene in front of him, his eyes were round, and his jaw was about to fall to the top of his feet.
The top of Fengming Mountain surrounded by clouds and mist, the sky is blue, the sun is shining, the top of the mountain with a radius of about 30 zhang as far as the eye can see is as flat as a knife, the ground is paved with milky white white jade bricks, there is a palace made of pure white jade that is more than five zhang high and occupies one-third of the area of the top of the mountain in the middle of the white jade square, on the white jade eaves of the upturned at both ends of the top of the hall are two lifelike golden eagle divine phoenixes, and in the center is a jade carved divine phoenix that spreads its wings and looks at the world, and is proud of the sky.
The golden phoenix is noble and elegant, the jade phoenix is majestic and domineering, and the jade phoenix seems to be one with the jade hall under him, but the two gilded golden phoenixes seem to be deliberately inlaid with them.
In front of the nine-order jade in front of the hall, there is a white jade tripod that is about the same size as the Kui stone, and there are three viewing platforms that extend out from the square on the top of the mountain, and there is a delicate stone fence made of white jade on the side of the mountain.
As far as the eye can see, all the white jade is pure and transparent, whether it is the white jade stone fence or the jade hall and the jade tripod, there are finely carved phoenix dance patterns, the demeanor is different, beautiful and abnormal.
After a long time, Jiang Ge, who still maintained his jaw dropped, did not have a single sweat left on his face, his trembling arms and hands trembled together, Jiang Ge's eyes were already dizzy, he stretched out his arms as if he wanted to hug something, opened his big mouth with a crystal clear liquid flowing to the stone slab on the ground, and let out a low roar in his throat, and in a blink of an eye, he rushed to the jade ding in the square, obsessively holding the thick Ding legs, his whole face was attached to it, and his hands kept rubbing back and forth.
Just when Jiang Ge was making a mistake, Lie Shanyuan, who came out of the tall jade hall, walked up to Jiang Ge's side, looked at Jiang Ge with disdain, who was in love as if he was treating his beloved, and deliberately shouted loudly: "Patriarch Shibo, why are you here?" ”
Jiang Ge, who was in a daze, heard Lie Shanyuan's words, he stood up suddenly, regained his clear eyes and looked around anxiously, he didn't find his father's figure at all, and then looked at Kui Kuishi and Lian Shanyang who were lying on the ground holding their stomachs and rolling with laughter, and then looked at Lie Shanyuan who was just talking to himself and curling the corners of his mouth.
Jiang Ge, who was embarrassed and very embarrassed, touched the back of his head and laughed and asked, "What was I doing just now?" ”
Kui Shi and Lian Shanyang: "Hahahaha~~~"
Lie Shanyuan curled the corners of his mouth and asked curiously: "The dignified young master of the Jiang family, haven't you seen jade, our three families are all supported by your Jiang family's foreign business to earn money, don't say that you haven't seen money." ”
Jiang Ge, who had never seen the world, nodded like pounding garlic: "It's not your joke, I really haven't seen so many emperor-level white jade, and I've seen a lot of gold, silver and copper coins, compared to this, it's simply worthless." ”
The excited Jiang Ge pointed to the white jade slab on the ground and said: "Believe it or not, if you take any piece of jade on the ground to Luoyang or Chang'an, you don't need to ask everyone to decorate it. ”
After speaking, Jiang Ge lay on the ground and stretched out his hands obsessively, rubbing back and forth on the smooth and delicate jade surface.
The thoughtful Lie Shanyuan asked curiously, "How much silver does the restaurant get?" Sounds very valuable, how about it compared to the restaurants in the middle of our Linyuan City? ”
Jiang Ge glanced at Lie Shanyuan, who had no economic concept, and said, "Can Linyuan be compared with Luoyang Chang'an?" Not to mention far away, can it be compared with Yangzhou Suzhou? Can the current Jinling be compared? This piece, less than 100,000 gold don't need to be talked about, do you know how much 100,000 gold is? ”
The humble Kui Shi interjected with his thick fingers: "Ten taels of silver and a roast sheep in the restaurant, how many are there?" ”
But even Shanyang laughed a few times, breaking the atmosphere of settling accounts and said: "Don't think about it, don't think about it, you can't take away the jade with big fingers, these can't be broken, let alone on the ground, the last time I came, I picked up a piece of walnut-sized broken jade on the edge of the cliff, and it became an ordinary stone when I went down the mountain." It's useless. Let's get down to business. ”
The three of them who were obsessed with settling accounts listened to Lian Shanyang's words to completely end this thought, Lie Shanyuan shook his head with some regret, Kui Kuishi clapped his hands and was not settling accounts, Jiang Gexin, who was still lying on the ground, got up like a knife, sighed and asked, "What are you going to do next?" ”
Lie Shanyuan turned around and walked towards the majestic and dignified and classical white jade hall, Jiang Ge and the three of them followed Lie Shanyuan to the front of the main hall, under the golden sunlight of the entire hall, the transparent jade was dyed with golden brilliance, with a layer of faint halo, looking closely, colorful.
On the main entrance of the huge palace is the jade plaque of the three characters of the Fengming Hall carved by the ancient seal, crossing the white jade door, the nine extremely thick white jade pillars in the hall firmly support the top of the hall with complex shapes.
Each temple pillar is carved with different figures, postures, and expressions of the divine phoenix, which is extremely realistic.
As far as the eye can see, the entire hall is extremely empty except for the nine pillars. There was nothing else, nothing.
Jiang Ge, who was looking around curiously, asked: "This heavenly creation of the palace is too incredible, the splendid Luoyang Palace and Chang'an Palace are not as good as in case, they are empty, why should we come in?" ”
Jiang Ge, who had just finished speaking, suddenly turned into darkness in front of his eyes, and he couldn't see his five fingers, and then, the nine pillars of the temple emitted a white fluorescence mixed with golden brilliance, and the door of the hall had been automatically closed at some point, and the hall regained its sight under the illumination of the nine all-body fluorescences.
Jiang Ge, who was a little flustered, looked at the middle of the hall, there seemed to be fluorescent lights on the ground, with beautiful curves, and he walked to the edge to see clearly, it was a picture of a phoenix day by day, and the beautiful line of the phoenix pattern was carved in a circle on the whole piece of jade. In the middle of the phoenix in a circle, the position of the sun floats in the sky, half black as ink, half milky white pure ball.
The strange black and white ball floats in the air and slowly rotates on its own, and there seems to be something circulating in the black and white space. Under the rendering of the nine fluorescent pillars, it also looks a little fluorescent.
Lie Shanyuan stood next to the black and white ball and asked softly, "Which of us will come first?" ”
Lian Shanyang rubbed his hands and looked at Kui Kui Shi who was twisting his arms, Kui Kui Shi looked at Lie Shanyuan who was breathing a little rapidly next to the black and white ball, and Lie Shanyuan looked at Lian Shanyang who was rubbing his hands.
Jiang Ge, who seemed to be ignored, couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted at the three of them: "Who came first?" How? You can tell me, just like a hillbilly who has never seen the world, I have to ask everything, come on, come, who of you will tell me what's going on? ”
was stirred up by Jiang Ge, and the originally weird and mysterious atmosphere also dissipated a lot, Lie Shanyuan exhaled and glanced at Lian Shanyang and said, "Goat, tell me about it." ”
Lian Shanyang cleared his voice and said: "Three years ago, the three of us went to Phoenix Mountain to hunt, strayed into the Qianlong Valley, and then arrived at this Fengming Palace, the surprise at that time was no less than yours, and the later scene was exactly the same as the scene we are facing now." No one dared to touch this ball, but in the end they decided to touch it together to see what this weird thing was. It's okay not to touch it, after the three of us put our hands together, we entered different dreams one after another. ”
Jiang Ge, who had had the experience of a peach blossom dream, suddenly came to his senses, but only his father knew about the peach blossom dream. Could it be that these three people have encountered the same adventure? When I was climbing the ladder before, even Shanyang only said a rough idea, and I didn't listen carefully, so I felt the mysterious natural coercion.
Jiang Ge, who only remembered it at the moment, asked a little excitedly: "The goat said that the breakthrough is this dream?" Just touch this ball? ”
Lian Shanyang nodded and said, "That's it." Everyone's encounter is different. ”
Jiang Ge hurriedly asked, "What have you all experienced?" ”
Lian Shanyang said: "What I experienced was the battlefield, one battle after another, at first there were three or five small thieves, then a dozen thieves, then dozens of bandits, and then a hundred people. I only fought the hundred-man team, and when the next five-hundred-man team was besieged to death, and then I woke up. When I woke up, I was extremely tired and my whole body ached, as if I had really fought a battle. It's just that when I woke up, I had an extra knife in my hand. ”
Lian Shanyang took out the long leather bag he had been carrying from behind him, and after untying it, under the illumination of fluorescence, he was a slashing saber with a total length of about seven feet, a long blade of about four feet, and a blade width of half a foot. The back of the blade has gilded beast pattern auspicious cloud jaws, the blade body is made of stainless steel with finger width, the blood groove is emerald green, the blade is white, and it is not a problem to cut copper and break iron.
Under the long blade, there is a gilded hedgehog beast head knife, followed by a ruler of stainless steel handle, the handle is inlaid with emerald jade blocks, and the tail of the handle has a threaded alexandrite stone.
Under the fluorescent rendering, this knife is like a divine weapon, full of domineering and a natural heroic righteousness, and the three emerald green embellishments add a touch of freshness.
Lian Shanyang couldn't put it down, fiddling with the long knife in his hand, and only after seeing it for Jiang Ge did he carefully put it back into the leather bag and wrap it.
Jiang Ge pretended to be extremely envious and asked, "It's just a fantasy, is it so amazing?" Such a good knife appeared out of thin air? ”
Lian Shanyang replied unhurriedly: "This Cuilan is the knife I held in my hand after waking up from my dream, but it was picked up on the battlefield after I killed the hundred-man team. ”
Jiang Ge, who was constantly amazed, looked at Lie Shanyuan's leather bag more than a foot wide behind him and asked curiously, "What is Sanyuan?" ”
Lie Shanyuan's face was as cold as ever, and after opening the wide skin, his face was also full of love.
After Lie Shanyuan was completely taken out, Jiang Ge saw it completely, it was a bow of more than five feet, the bow surface was carved from unknown materials, the shape of the double dragon playing with beads carved from unknown materials, the dragon body was green armor and green claws, the body was flexible and vigorous, like a swimming dragon, and the bowstring was like a dragon's tendons.
Jiang Ge was about to touch it when Lie Shanyuan quickly put away the longbow, and said with a little disgust: "You can't touch it casually, the dragon bow doesn't look as domineering as the goat's Cuilan, but it also has its magic." The power is huge, and it is more than a hundred steps stronger than ordinary war bows. ”
Jiang Ge, who was a little helpless, had no choice but to look at Kui Kuishi, who scratched his face and said embarrassedly: "I don't have anything, I just work to eat and sleep in my dreams." ”
Jiang Ge, who was a little puzzled, said: "Both of them have something, you don't have anything, and you still work?" What are you doing? ”
Kui Kuishi, who was even more embarrassed by Jiang Geyi's words, whispered: "Just move the stones, the more you move, the heavier and heavier the move, the more delicious things will appear, and you will never see anything you have never seen." Later, he moved a rock and crushed himself to death because he couldn't stand firmly. Later, after waking up, I recovered after a few days, only to find that my strength was much stronger, and it didn't hurt so much. ”
Jiang Ge was looking at Lie Shanyuan, and Lie Shanyuan said: "I am just hunting, all kinds of prey, after killing a black bear, I picked up this bow and arrow, but I was bitten to death by a wild boar." ”
After figuring it all out, Jiang Ge kept pinching his chin, and his mind was rapidly recalling the process of entering the peach blossom dream in the Peach Blossom Forest White Tower not long ago. And compare and analyze the content described by the three people around him.
Jiang Ge thought in his heart, they came three years ago, so they got an unknown adventure, probably the same situation as they obtained Xiaohei Xiaobai, except that Lian Shanyang and Lie Shanyuan were the weapons they got, and Kui Shi was a real increase in strength. Only I met two lives and brought them out. The top of the White Tower is supposed to be the place where the Taoyuan Dream Realm is opened, but it hasn't been tried to open it again. Jiang Ge also didn't know if it was a one-time or if he could come and go at will, or if there were any constraints. And this place has been determined not to come as soon as you want, and it has been impossible to enter it for two years in a row, and this year is the third year. So, will it be opened once every three years?
After quickly figuring out the joint, Jiang Ge said: "No matter whether you can go in again today, the four of us together, according to what you said, I will definitely go in." But whether you can get in or not depends on your luck. ”
The other three, although they were excited and wanted to try the experience in the dream again, maybe a new miracle would happen, but they were afraid that they would not be able to enter like countless attempts before, and the sense of loss after each attempt was ineffective was extremely uncomfortable, after listening to Jiang Ge's words, the three of them also cheered up, originally pulling Jiang Ge to come in the hope that the descendants with the blood of the family head would definitely go in once, and would they have the opportunity to take the three of them into it again.
When Jiang Ge stretched out his hand and put it in the air above the black and white ball, the other three also put their hands next to Jiang Singer, and after Jiang Ge counted down to the three~two~one~, four hands of different sizes pressed the black and white ball floating in the air at the same time.
Immediately, the black and white ball quickly rotated, and the phoenix pattern on the floor tiles quickly shone brightly, and with a phoenix chirp, the images carved on the ground and the nine temple pillars turned into virtual shadows, wrapping Jiang Ge and the four people.
For a while, in the main hall, it was full of light, like a fairyland.
