Chapter 20: Encounter with Turkic Forces
Reading Pavilion 『 』, the full text is free to read.
Huzi and I were already exhausted, and the struggle in the water just now had exhausted both of us. We lay on the shore and rested for half an hour before we recovered. Only then did he change his clothes and set off at the urging of Erjie'er.
After what happened just now, Huzi and I finally deeply understood that we must be cautious in this Black Dragon Valley. One thing we learned was that if we broke in, we would surely die.
Now that I think about it, I'm starting to get scared. I warned myself that in the future, I must not be clever and arrogant, otherwise I will not know how to die.
Walking further, I saw a lot of yamen one after another, and these buildings are significantly different from private houses. Their gates and courtyard walls were taller. And on both sides of the gate there will be giant/large stone lions placed there.
There is a ball in the mouth of the stone lion, and every time Huzi sees the stone lion, he will go over and pull the ball in his mouth with his hand. Every time he tried to get the stone ball inside, he failed.
Er'er said that the thing was carved out of the mouth, and this ball was the most laborious. But now it's not like that, but after carving the lion, carving the ball on the outside, then cutting the ball, applying glue, putting it in the mouth, and then sticking it on.
Obviously, the approach is really faster and more efficient. But it also loses the spirit of craftsmanship and the integrity of the lion.
Hearing what Er Zhu'er said, Huzi began to study whether the ball in the mouth of the stone lion here was glued or carved in the mouth.
He said, "It's worth a lot of money, but it's a pity that I can't move it!" ”
Er Zhu'er shouted in front: "Hurry up, don't grind/rub." ”
Huzi and I had no choice but to give up our research on lions and run to follow.
The buildings in front of it are gradually decreasing, and there are no more dwellings. However, the road widened, and stone pillars and stone carvings began to appear on both sides of the road, which were very exquisite.
I know that in front of this should be the Iron Tile Oolong Palace.
By this time, we had almost reached the foot of the mallet mountain.
Erzhu'er looked at the sky at this time and said, "Let's go, we can't delay." ”
He quickened his pace and trotted out in front. Huzi and I could only run up and chase him all the way behind.
Er'er ran faster and faster, a pair of legs were like stepping on Hot Wheels, and Huzi and I tried our best to barely keep up.
Erzhu'er has been leading us up the steps to Bangmao Mountain, and when we got to the mountainside, there was an observation deck. When he got here, he took off the shotgun from his body and let it go to the side, and the man sat down on the ground with exhaustion.
He said, "All right, that's it." ”
Huzi and I were too tired to get up, so after sitting on the ground and gasping for breath for a minute, I stood up by the iron fence of the observation deck.
Now, I saw the whole picture of the Black Dragon Valley.
The Shahe River came from the northeast direction of Bangmao Mountain, and after hitting Bangmao Mountain, it circled Bangmao Mountain for more than half a circle, and then went south.
At first, it was not in the shape of a pillar, but after hundreds of thousands of years of river washing, the mountain was carved into the shape of a giant/large pillar.
The river runs through the Black Dragon Valley, flowing out of an estuary and heading straight to the sea. It can also be said that it was this river that carved out the Black Dragon Valley here.
The west side of the Black Dragon Valley is the river, and the east side is the road. The road is flanked by buildings. The buildings are all made of local materials, and the main body is all stone.
Follow this road up until you reach the south of Bangmao Mountain, and when you get here, this road comes to an abrupt end. It is evident that there is a huge/large arch under this mallet mountain.
I call this bulge a dragon arch.
You don't need any knowledge of feng shui, as long as you have a little common sense, you can see what is buried under this mallet mountain.
This road is like a knife, and when you reach the bottom of the mallet mountain, you will directly insert / into the dragon arch. Looking up along the mallet mountain, there is obviously a trace of collapse.
This is the place where the legendary dragon and tiger fought and was knocked down by the black dragon prince. This Tiger General and the Black Dragon Prince are really too powerful.
However, it can be seen from this legend that this tiger general should have led people all the way from the south to kill him, washed the Black Dragon Valley in blood, and finally had a desperate battle with Xiao Han at the foot of this mallet mountain.
Xiao Han should have activated the mechanism that had been prepared for a long time, collapsed the Bangmao Mountain, and buried General Hu's people and the Iron Tile Oolong Hall below.
But Xiao Han was already heavily surrounded, and he could only lead people to the west over the mountains and mountains to flee all the way. This Black Dragon Valley has completely given up like this.
After Xiao Han escaped from the Black Dragon Valley, there were obstacles in front of him, and there were pursuers in the back, and finally in Lulong's place, he died at the hands of his own people.
Huzi pointed with his hand and said, "Old Chen, it should be there." ”
Even Huzi can see it, which is enough to show how obvious it is here.
Er Zhu'er said: "There is the place where the Black Dragon Prince sits in the palace, and there are a large number of Yin soldiers guarding it, and if you go in, you will be sent to death." ”
Huzi said: "Second father, it seems that you were stupid by the Yin soldiers. ”
Er Zhu'er scolded: "Being talked nonsense, don't say bad things about the Black Dragon Prince, he can hear it." ”
As he spoke, he picked up the shotgun from the ground, and after carrying it on his back, he said: "The people who came to explore before didn't believe my words like you, and they didn't believe that there was a black dragon prince and a white dragon lady, and in the end, none of them came out. ”
Huzi said, "Second Dad, what will happen if you spend the night here?" ”
"Anything can happen, and you'd better not do it. The dead are not persuaded, do you know? Er Zhu'er said, "When we get there, our physical strength will not be good, we will walk very slowly, and we must go back." ”
After getting off the observation deck, he shouted at us, "Don't look, go quickly." ”
Huzi said: "Lao Chen, it has only been half a day since we walked here from the Black Dragon Prince Temple, and after we arrived, we had to go back immediately." Is this a day trip? We can't do anything! ”
"Either you engrave a few words and write that Comrade Huzi is here for a visit!" I said, "It seems that this is the only way to do it, and we must find out the situation of the mausoleum keepers." ”
Huzi whispered: "It would be nice if Hu Xiaojun and Hu Junjie came, I regret it a little now." They should have been brought along. ”
Erzhu'er shouted at this time: "What are you still grinding/rubbing?" Walk! ”
We didn't dare to delay for a moment when we walked back, and went back the way we came. Before dark, we just arrived at the Black Dragon Prince Temple.
After entering the back door, Erzhu'er finally breathed a sigh of relief, he turned to look at us and said, "Come out." Do you want to go in tomorrow? ”
Huzi said: "Second father, can't you really spend the night inside?" ”
Er Zhu'er looked at Huzi and said sternly: "If you don't want to die, you have to listen to me." I don't want your kid to become a yin soldier, and I still expect your kid to give me a pension. ”
Er Zhu'er took us back to the Black Dragon Hall again, and after entering the house, he lit the lantern.
At the end of the day, we were all tired, and after eating something, we got on the kang and rested against the wall.
I wanted to chat, but soon my eyes couldn't be opened, and I fell asleep.
As a result, as soon as I fell asleep, I suddenly felt a lot of people coming into the room, and when I opened my eyes, the light of a large number of flashlights shone on my face, and I blocked it with my arm, not daring to show my eyes.
Huzi said loudly on the side: "Don't take it, who are you?" ”
Then I heard a familiar voice. I heard Hu Junjie laugh and say: "It's really not easy to find you!" ”
Someone shouted outside: "General Hu, the generator is ready." ”
The moment the generator outside turned around, the lights suddenly came on in the room.
Then, the flashlight went out. I lowered my arm to block the light and saw the room clearly.
At this time, there were more than a dozen people standing in the room. Standing in the middle is Hu Junjie, followed by Bai Hui in a blue mountaineering suit and Grandpa Bai in a Mao suit.
At this time, Er Zhu'er suddenly raised his shotgun and aimed it at Hu Junjie.
At the same time, seven or eight gun barrels were aimed at Er'er's head.
Hu Junjie looked at me and said with a smile: "Chen Yuan, I didn't expect to meet here." ”
I looked at him and smiled, and I said, "You're just in time!" ”
Huzi also said: "Indeed, it is not early or late! Just right! ”
