Chapter 314: The Road to Hanzhong
Sure enough, as Liu He guessed, Monk Benian did not make any stop on the mountain, but took Liu He over the top of the mountain and came to the mountainside on the other side of the mountain.
"To go over the mountain, you have to go to the foot of the mountain, you are a person who has traveled all over the world, you don't understand this reason?" The panting Liu He complained.
Obviously, this mountain road is really nothing to Monk Benian, but he is still breathing steadily, and he said calmly: "When you came out of the city, did you find that the road outside the city was very rugged and difficult to walk? ”
Speaking of the potholed road from Chengdu City to the broken temple, Liu He has a deep understanding. Every time he went from the city to the ruined temple, he was walking with one foot deep and one foot shallow, obviously it was a flat road, but it was even more difficult than the road to climb the mountain.
Monk Benian pointed to the foot of the mountain and continued: "This was originally supposed to be an avenue out of the city, but at some point, many big stones rolled down from the mountain, forming this stone forest here, and since then this road has been blocked. ”
When Liu He heard this, he hurriedly looked around, and sure enough, at the foot of the mountain, there was a stone forest blocking the road, and this road was connected to the road out of the city, but because of the big stone blocking the road, if it was bypassed from the foot of the mountain, it would be blocked on the other side, and it would be impassable at all.
"What do you mean......" After Liu He looked at it carefully, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Monk Benian uncertainly.
Monk Be Nian nodded slightly, "Within a month, you will move all these stones to the open space on the mountain, if you do it, not only can you temper your physique, but also open up this road that originally led to Hanzhong, which can be regarded as benefiting the people of Chengdu." ”
"What do you say, leading to Hanzhong?" Liu He exclaimed.
Monk Benian said calmly: "Exactly, this road was originally the only way for business travelers to go to Hanzhong, after this road was blocked, it was almost difficult for Chengdu's goods to be transported to the north, not only the merchants suffered great losses, but also those people who made a living from it, it can also be said that they lost a livelihood." ”
When Liu He heard this, his face showed an excited look.
Originally, he just wanted to learn martial arts from the monk Benian, but he didn't expect that he could find this road to Hanzhong by mistake.
Liu He had already planned before entering Sichuan, and after taking Yizhou and entering Chengdu, he would go north to capture the gateway of Yizhou, Hanzhong.
However, after entering Chengdu, Liu He, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong studied together, but on the map, there was not a single road leading to Hanzhong, and some were all rugged and difficult paths.
There is a road that is difficult for Shu to go to the blue sky, and those trails can only barely allow one person to pass, but the war horse cannot pass.
Hanzhong is mostly plain, if only infantry is sent to attack, it will be difficult, and if the other side sends a large number of cavalry to fight, their own side will definitely suffer heavy losses.
It was only at this time that Liu He knew that there was no avenue in front of him on the map that the three of them looked at the beginning, and it seemed that perhaps because this road had been blocked for a long time, so the cartographers did not mark this road again.
Now he can not only solve the problem of soldiers going out of Hanzhong, but also temper his physique and rescue Xiao Yuer as soon as possible.
Just don't recite what the monk said about life-threatening practice, is that what you are referring to?
Looking at those stones that were numerous, but there was really no danger at all, Liu He couldn't help but express his doubts.
After listening to this, the monk said in a deep voice: "Have you ever heard of King Qin Wu Yingdang dying from his throne?" ”
Liu He smiled secretly in his heart, nonsense, of course I've heard it, even if I haven't heard it, I've always seen "The Legend of Miyue", who doesn't know the fat man who died to death?
But these can't be said to Monk Benian, Liu He had to pretend to be calm and nodded, and asked, "What does King Qin Wu have to do with these stones?" ”
"The person who pulls out a thousand catties can also be crushed to death by a thousand catties of heavy objects, when you move these stones, once you are exhausted, you may be pressed by it at any time and it will be difficult to get up, and even directly you will have to worry about your life, so I advise you to think carefully before you start."
Don't read the monk's words, which made Liu He feel an inexplicable sense of nervousness.
It seems that I really underestimated this pile of stones, in case I moved halfway up the mountain and lost my strength and was crushed to death by the big stones, wouldn't it be the same as the fat man who died?
At that time, no one knew that they were working for the well-being of the people, and it was estimated that the people should spread that Mr. Tianji, who lacked heart, pretended to be forced and died tragically in the mountains.
After squatting on the ground and pondering for a long time, Liu He finally stood up and said fiercely: "Isn't it just a pile of stones?" Can you really crush a big living person to death? ”
Monk Benian nodded calmly, turned away, and said without looking back: "The poor monk is still waiting for you in the broken temple at the bottom of the mountain, you come to eat and drink at the bottom of the mountain after sunset every day, and then go up the mountain at dawn, and so on, after a month, if you can remove all these big stones, your physique can at least step into the threshold of the realm of ten thousand enemies." ”
Liu He stood there and carefully considered the words of the monk, but he pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Phew! Why do you go down the mountain to eat and drink every day, pretending to care about me, and you're afraid that I'll starve to death, don't you just want to drink the good wine sent by Lao Wei! ”
Don't read the monk's departure, Liu He's heart suddenly had no bottom, and he didn't know where to start.
When he walked to the foot of the mountain and came to the pile of boulders, Liu He gasped even more.
OMG! With so many stones, when will it be a head?
Liu He can be said to have no long memory this time, and he forgot the ancient adage of running a dead horse on the mountainside, looking at the not very spectacular pile of rocks from the mountainside, and when he got closer, he found that each piece was comparable to the big stone on the mountain that was more than one person high.
What's more, there are bigger rocks than that, let alone moving, and it's a little difficult to climb to it.
Liu He held his chin and pondered for a long time, and his eyes finally fell on a pile of rubble that was not much bigger than a fist.
He stepped forward and picked up two pieces of gravel, and said to himself, "The rice must be eaten one bite at a time, and the stones must be moved one by one, well, let's start with the two of you." ”
After that, Liu He held two pieces of gravel in one hand, hummed a little song, and walked happily towards the mountain.
At dinnertime, Liu He, who was covered in dust, returned to the ruined temple, sat on the ground with a slump of his buttocks, and looked at the monk Benian with desperate eyes, with a look of lovelessness.
