Chapter 18: Killing Hu
Reading Pavilion 『 』, the full text is free to read.
Erzhu'er took us all the way through the entire Black Dragon Prince Temple.
After what happened last night, Huzi and I have become a lot more honest and don't mess around.
But I secretly kept an eye out for clues around me, intending to find traces of some people's lives. But I failed.
The apse is the hall of the Dragon King of the North Sea, and the second pick-up did not take us in, but spared it from the side, and then went back to the back door.
The back door is not large, four meters wide and three meters high. These are two wooden doors, which have decayed after a hundred years of wind and frost, and the doors have been left with a large hole by termites.
Closer, through this hole, you can see that there is a two-meter-wide stone path outside the back door.
The stone pavement is paved with yellow granite, with a gentle slope and steps on the steep slope. The road leads all the way to the mountain range behind.
The second pick walked to the door first, and when he pushed the door open, the door slowly fell down, and shattered on the ground with a thud.
The door fell, disturbing the airflow. At this time, a whirlwind appeared, which rolled up the smoke and dust, and went all the way towards the temple.
Huzi and I dodged to the side, and the whirlwind swayed between the two of us into the temple, and walked for more than ten meters, when suddenly there was a sound, and the whirlwind dispersed. The smoke and dust then dispersed.
Er'er stepped on the fallen door panel, the door panel creaked, and when the foot was raised, the door panel under his feet was stepped on with a deep footprint.
Huzi felt curious, and also went up and stepped on it. In the same way, a deep footprint is also stepped on. This door panel is already as chaff as a turnip.
Behind the Black Dragon Prince Temple is the Black Dragon Ridge, and the Black Dragon Ridge is the Black Dragon Valley. This Black Dragon Prince Temple is also the only way to enter the Black Dragon Valley.
Huzi said as he walked: "Lao Chen, this temple is too well repaired. How about you say that we came here with our belongings to live in seclusion? But I saw that there is a well in this temple, and it is not a problem to cook and drink water. It's a pity that this big house is empty. ”
Er Zhu'er snorted and said, "Think beautifully, don't forget, this is the territory of the Black Dragon Prince." You have to get the Black Dragon Prince's consent. ”
Huzi muttered in a low voice: "Black Dragon Prince, Black Dragon Prince, where is there any Black Dragon Prince." It's just that someone is pretending to be a ghost. I'll pull him out sooner or later. ”
I think so too, I don't believe in ghosts and gods. Ghosts and gods are just things that people come up with, and to put it bluntly, ghosts live in people's hearts.
The stone road is paved to a very high specification, and I know that we are almost at the place.
Half an hour later, we went up to Heilongling. From here, you can see the Black Dragon Valley in the distance, and a thick fog spreads throughout the valley. Directly ahead, a pillar-like mountain rises above the fog and stands tall.
The second picker pointed and said, "That's Bangmao Mountain." ”
Huzi said, "It's so far! What are you waiting for, let's go. ”
The second pick-up said: "The fog has not cleared yet, wait a little longer." ”
At this time, a willow tree beside us swayed, and the southeast wind blew slowly. People suddenly felt comfortable and a lot, and didn't feel so dull.
The wind crossed the mountains and blew directly into the valley.
The fog in the valley dispersed like a flock of sheep being driven.
The valley is long and narrow, and here you can vaguely see many red or gray roofs in the valley.
Huzi pointed and said, "Lao Chen, look inside, it seems that there are people!" ”
Er Zhu'er said: "I did live there before. But now there is no one, and all the people living here are the Yin soldiers of the Black Dragon Prince. Let's go, hurry up, we have to get to Bangmao Mountain before noon. We had to rush back before dark, and at night, only the Black Dragon Prince Temple was safe. ”
We walked down this stone road, which was already full of weeds, and the further we went, the more we felt the humanistic atmosphere. After walking a short distance, I found a stone pavilion on the side of the road.
Huzi and I were curious, so we ran over and sat down in it for a while.
Erzhu'er stood on the road and shouted: "Hurry up, you must go to Bangmao Mountain at noon." ”
Tiger Farts and I haven't been hot yet, so we can only stand up and continue walking.
Further on, there are houses on the side of the road one after another, the houses here are relatively small, and the yards are quite large.
As we went deeper/deeper, the house got bigger and bigger. And soon, we saw shops on the side of the road.
Huzi and I were as excited as children who had never seen the world, and we ran over to look in front of the shop, which was covered with cobwebs, but we could vaguely tell that it was supposed to be a butcher's shop. On the wall of this shop, there is also a large word "cow", which is supposed to be sold here.
I vaguely remembered the butcher standing behind the board.
Erzhu'er has no interest in this place and has been walking in front.
The valley is long and narrow, with only one road running into it. But the road is getting wider and wider, and the buildings on both sides of the road are getting taller.
I pulled Huzi with my hand, and then leaned on Huzi's shoulder and whispered: "This should be the capital of Xi Kingdom, and the Tiewa Oolong Hall should be in front." ”
We kept walking on the east side of the valley, and on the west side of the valley was the sand river. The river flows along the mountain, and due to the large height difference, the current cuts the mountain on the west side into a deep cliff.
Huzi nodded and said, "How could this Xiao Han choose such a place to build the capital?" ”
I said, "He called himself emperor, but in fact he was only the head of a tribe. This ethnic group should all live in this valley, which is not small, and can still accommodate 20,000 people. ”
Huzi said: "Where can this be regarded as a country, it is clearly the scale of a market town." ”
Erzhu'er turned around and said, "Don't talk, follow me." ”
The second pick-up walked very fast, and the person seemed to float up from the surface. Huzi and I soon ran out of breath.
But today's leg didn't feel that painful, just a little sore.
Along the way, we saw a variety of shops, which showed that it was still very prosperous at that time. It was war-strife that destroyed this paradise.
Huzi said: "Lao Chen, this place is really good!" If we can't get along outside, we can come here to be the valley master. Change the name of this Black Dragon Valley to the Valley of Despair. ”
I said, "Why is it called the Valley of Despair?" ”
"It's called the Valley of Despair, so it seems to have a story, and it's more bullish."
I said, "I think it's more appropriate to call it Wolong Valley." The valley owners of the Valley of Despair are generally women. ”
"Makes sense."
……
Huzi and I were chatting here, and Erzhu'er suddenly stopped in front. The place where he stopped was outside a large mansion.
Although the gatehouse of this house is dilapidated, the gate is still sturdy, and at first glance it is a good wood that has been treated with antiseptic treatment and painted well.
Huzi said: "This is a big family! ”
Er Zhu'er said: "This is the palace of the White Dragon Niangniang. ”
Huzi whispered: "Lao Chen, isn't the white dragon lady that ......?"
I know what Huzi is going to say, what he wants to ask is whether the white dragon lady is the Yelu Aduo we dug up from the bottom of the river.
I glanced at Huzi, and Huzi didn't continue to ask. After all, there are some things that can't be said as a second pick-up, and this old man has a deep admiration for this black dragon prince.
At this time, Erzhu'er actually knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the five bodies of the house.
I said in my heart that superstition is harmful, where is there a white dragon lady, there is a blood gourd, and it has been washed to Dalonggou a long time ago.
After the second pick-up kowtowed, he stood up and said, "You two also kowtow to the white dragon lady, she will bless you." ”
Although Huzi and I didn't want to do anything that didn't make any sense, we didn't want to go against Er'er's words. After looking at each other, we decisively knelt down and began to kowtow.
"Knock like I did." Er'er said solemnly.
The two of us can only bow down on the ground.
After worshipping, Huzi stood up and said, "White Dragon Niangniang, I have said goodbye to you!" ”
I don't know where this kid learned it, and he even gave a flying kiss to this house. Eighty percent of it is seen from TV.
We were just about to leave when suddenly a woman's laughter came from the house. The sound was like the nasal sound of a human closing his mouth and laughing "hehehehehe......", and after a while, there was another "hahahahaha" laughter.
This time, it stunned me and Huzi.
