Yun Meng groped and walked for a long time in the dark and rainy night, just walking by feeling, walking and walking, feeling that the ground did not seem to be as muddy as just now, it seemed to be walking on a gravel road, but there were more and more stones, but it was getting more and more difficult to walk, and several times Yun Meng accidentally kicked the sharp stones, and it hurt his heart. As he walked, Yun Meng suddenly saw a dark shadow in front of him, which startled Yun Meng and took a few steps back. The black shadow didn't move, Yun Meng was bold, picked up a stone and threw it at the black shadow, hearing the crisp sound of the stone impact, Yun Meng let out a long breath, slowly walked to the black shadow, touched it with his hand, it turned out to be a piece of remnant wall, Yun Meng turned to the other side along this remnant wall, but it was a collapsed house, fortunately, the corner of the house was not completely destroyed, Yun Meng went to the corner with his cat's waist, and leaned against the wall with his soaked clothes and fell into deep painful memories again.

In the early morning of the second day, when Yun Meng woke up from the nightmare, he felt that there was not the slightest chill on his body, but he felt very warm, and when he looked closely, he found that he was not in the ruins of last night, but lying on the bed. His body was covered with a quilt, and he didn't know who had changed his wet clothes. Sure that he was not dreaming, Yun Meng got up and went to the ground, suddenly felt that his feet were burning, and sat down to watch again, seeing that his feet were full of blood blisters, but they had been coated with ointment. Yun Meng reluctantly got off the ground, and then noticed the furnishings in the house, although the furnishings in the house were simple, but they were very neat, and when they raised their noses, they smelled a faint fragrance into their brains, which made people very tranquil. It seems that he was rescued by the owner of this house last night to avoid the cold of the rainy night. Yun Meng pushed the door out, and a scene came into view. Originally, the house here is in a ravine, because the humidity rises, the fog rises, as if in a fairyland, under the distant view faintly about the red leaves dotted in the meantime, the ears can hear the murmuring of the stream, from time to time it seems that there are one or two birds and beasts chirping in the distance. There are three huts here, surrounded by fences, and there are several nurseries in the courtyard, but what Yunmeng is planted is not famous.

"Childe is resting well?" A neutral voice came from behind Yun Meng, Yun Meng hurriedly turned around to look, only to see a middle-aged man standing behind him, this person is about seven feet tall, with thick eyebrows and leopard eyes, a face like a heavy jujube, a short beard under the chin like a steel needle, a short shirt and shorts, at first glance is a person who practices martial arts.

Yun Meng bowed and said, "Thank you for the rescue, please accept Yun Meng's worship." "Then you have to make a big salute.

The middle-aged man hurriedly put his hands together and said, "Son, don't say it's a son, it's a bystander, and you can't see death without saving it." ”

Yun Meng asked again: "I don't know the name of Engongzun?" ”

"Childe doesn't have to be polite, his surname is Xu Minghong, and his words are wide. Anyway, I've been waiting for my son here for some days. The man replied.

Yun Meng was very puzzled when he heard this, and he was busy asking the reason. Xu Hong said with a smile: "Childe doesn't have to be confused, Xu is a rough man in the mountains and fields, and he is straightforward and fast-talking, but he is arranged here by my master." Childe and peace of mind first recuperate in the thatched hut for a few days, and then an old man will come to pick up Childe to see the master, and then everything will be known. "The deceased? Could it be that there are people I know here? Yun Meng was even more puzzled in his heart, so Yun Meng lived in the thatched hut, and Xu Hong took care of his daily meals, so there was no need to elaborate.

Yun Meng's foot injury gradually healed, and when chatting with Xu Hong, he learned that this place was the Hanguguan region, which was located in the Zhongnan Mountains and was one of the veins of the Qinling Mountains. I didn't expect to go so far in a daze. On this day, Yun Meng was thinking alone in the room, and suddenly heard that someone seemed to be talking to Xu Hong, and he couldn't really hear it, and he could only hear Xu Hong call this person "old housekeeper". After a while, there was a knock on the door, Yun Meng hurriedly got up and opened the door, and saw a person standing at the door, with a childish face and an extraordinary bearing, it was Yu Weng who had met before.

Yun Meng was stunned on the spot for a while, and Yu Weng smiled and arched his hand: "Yun Gongzi, you have always been good, and the little old man is so polite." ”

Yun Meng reacted at this time, and hurriedly returned the salute, saying, "Hello old man, old man, why are you ......?"

"Hahaha, Childe is going to ask, why am I here! , why didn't Childe let me into the house! Yu Weng said with a smile, Yun Mengfang felt that he was a little rude, and hurriedly let Weng into the house. After the two sat down, Xu Hong came in and poured a cup of tea for the two, and then stood behind Yu Weng.

Yu Weng took a sip of tea and said to Yun Meng with a smile: "Does Childe ever know what kind of place this is?" ”

Yun Meng replied, "Isn't this in the Zhongnan Mountains?" ”

Yu Weng said again: "No, the son only knows one but doesn't know the other." Did Childe remember the verses on the stones in the forest that day? ”

Yun Meng replied: "Of course Yun Meng remembers the four-line poem. I don't know what the old gentleman means by this? ”

"It's good to remember, but Childe knows what 'Tianyi' means?" Yu Weng asked again.

Yun Meng replied again: "Yun Meng has been thinking about it for a long time, but I still don't know. Please also make it clear to the old gentleman. ”

The old man smiled: "The old man doesn't go around in circles, this Zhongnan Mountain is also called Tianyi Mountain." Yun Meng woke up like a dream when he heard this, and it turned out that he was also in the place pointed out in the poem, could it be that the master was also here? So he asked Yu Weng so.

Yu Weng said: "When the opportunity comes, everything will come naturally." My master has already calculated that Gongzi will suffer from this, so he specially arranged for Xu Hong to rescue Gongzi here, and the master that Gongzi is looking for is naturally my master. ”

Yun Meng was amazed in his heart, and thought to himself, "What kind of master can this person know so well about my experience?" ”

Yu Weng saw the doubts in Yun Meng's heart, so he said: "Childe, this time the old man was sent by the master to pick up the son, and the doubts in the child's heart will be clear when he sees my master." Yun Meng didn't ask any more questions when he heard this. In fact, there was nothing to clean up, so they left the hut with Yu Weng and Xu Hong and walked towards the valley.

At this time, it is the morning, the fog in the mountain is gone, the red leaves on both sides of the mountain are like fire, the layers of forests are impregnated, the stream beside the road is clear and visible, and the beautiful scenery in the middle is inextricable. The three of them went straight forward along the trail at the bottom of the valley, about an hour, came to a ridge, this mountain ridge is not very high, but there is spirituality, the winding mountain stone steps are surrounded by the ridge, like a silver snake, the plants on the ridge are dense, colorful, there are fiery red, there are golden yellow, there are dark green, and there is sauce purple, there is a building at the waist of the mountain, I can't see a few layers of courtyards clearly, but the blue bricks and gray tiles can be seen clearly. The three of them went up the stone steps, and they came to the front of the building, and they saw a lot more clearly when they got closer, the building was surrounded by blue bricks, how high the two of them were, and there were two stone beasts in front of the door that looked like unicorns, but there were single horns on their heads, Yun Meng knew that the stone beast was called the hedgehog, which was the legendary ancient beast, which could distinguish between good and evil, and distinguish between loyalty and treachery. There are nine steps in front of the door, the wood-colored door is closed, and there is a pair of door couplets engraved on both sides of the door. It is difficult for immortals and Buddhas to become, and they do not read the common people in the temple. In the middle of the door beam, a plaque is hung on the letter, "Jing Zhai".

Xu Hong took a few steps forward and knocked on the door knocker, and from time to time the door opened, and a young man dressed as a twelve or thirteen-year-old scholar greeted him, and when he saw Yu Weng Shili, he said: "Old housekeeper, you are back, the host is still inquiring just now, has the guest received it?" ”

Yu Weng replied: "Yun Gongzi has already received it, this is it." Saying that, he pointed his finger at Yun Meng, and the scholar hurriedly stepped forward to salute Yun Meng, and Yun Meng returned the salute.

Yu Weng said to the scholar: "Qingyao, where is the master now?" The scholar replied: "The master is now in the study, and I just explained that if the son arrives, please come to the study to see him." ”

So it was led by the scholar Qingyao, accompanied by the fisherman, along the way Yun Meng briefly browsed the courtyard, the whole house is about four into the courtyard, across the house door, around the shadow wall, is the hanging flower door, there is a verandah around, the painting is the sea of clouds, the fairy mountain, the flying crane, enter the courtyard, there are rockeries, turquoise, left and right are the east and west wings, there are two across the courtyard next to it, the master study is in the back house, next to the bedroom, there is a row of purple bamboo next to the door, the whole house is not very big, but it is very chic, and the mountains behind it can be used as a foil, it is just like in the painting.

Coming to the door of the study, Qing Yao asked Yun Meng to wait a while, to go to the temple first, and after a while, Qing Yao came out of the study and said to Yun Meng with a smile: "Childe, my master invites you to enter the house." ”

Yun Meng said a please, then cautiously walked into the study, the furnishings in the room are very elegant, against the wall is a row of bookshelves, the shelves are full of books, bamboo slips, a desk with sandalwood, on the table is a book "Liangdu Fu", as if the master has just read, there is no one sitting on the chair. Yun Mengzheng wondered if this master was not in the study, why was there no one in sight? Suddenly, a person came out from behind the screen next to him, wearing a white robe and a feather fan, with a very handsome face, deep eyes, and a high nose, but he was a young man. This person looked at Yun Meng and smiled without saying a word, the two looked at each other for a long time, and after a moment, Yun Meng was afraid of being rude, so he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Yun Meng is polite in Xia, thank you Mr. for rescuing." ”

The young man arched his hand and said, "You are Yun Meng, and you are indeed a hero." The two sat down separately, and Qingyao offered tea.

The young man said again: "Let me guess if Childe is full of suspicions now." I wondered why the owner of this place was a young man. ”

Yun Meng arched his hand and replied: "Don't dare, don't dare to hide, Mr. is famous Yun Meng has been fascinated for a long time, I really thought that Mr. is a fairy wind and Dao bones, I never thought that Mr. is so young and promising, blame Yun Meng for not knowing Mount Tai." ”

The young man laughed and said, "Don't blame Childe, I'm not actually the person Childe said." In Xiafu, the surname Gongsun, whose name is Ziyang, is the young master here. The person who Childe wants to see is the father, but unfortunately the father has not returned, so I have to receive the Son today. ”

Yun Meng suddenly realized, but there were too many doubts in his heart, so he asked: "I see, the young master is polite, dare to ask Lingtang's high name, when will he return?" ”

Gongsun Ziyang replied: "My father's name is Xiu, and I have been out for a month, and Ziyang doesn't know when my father will return. ”

Yun Meng's face was embarrassed when he heard this, and Gongsun Ziyang said again: "Childe has worked hard all the way, don't worry first, the guest room has already been cleaned up, please stay, there are still some things to discuss with Childe later." After that, he asked Yu Weng to settle Yun Meng to live in the East Cross Courtyard, and asked Qing Yao to send some food.

Yun Meng stayed alone in the room until the palm lamp, and no one came, Yun Meng's heart was anxious and restless, it was strange to say, except for Qingyao who came over, Yun Meng never saw anyone again, and what was even more strange was that there was no movement in the Gongsun family, and it was surprisingly quiet. Yun Meng thought that he still took the initiative to go to Gongsun Ziyang to ask clearly, so he went out of the East Cross Courtyard, and all the houses of Gongsun's house had been lit up, but no one was seen in the courtyard or the middle hall, Yun Meng called a few "Yu Weng" and "Qingyao", but no one answered, and went straight to the study, the door of the study was hidden, the lights in the house were shaking, as if someone was flashing, Yun Meng knocked on the door softly, and said: "The young master is here, Yun Meng asks to see." No one answered, Yun Meng raised his voice and asked the house again, but still no one answered, Yun Meng thought to himself, "It may be that Gongsun Gongzi still has something to deal with, and he has no time to take care of me, so he will wait outside for a while." So he stood outside the door and waited, but there was no movement on the left and no movement on the right, Yun Meng couldn't bear it anymore, so he wanted to turn around and return to his room and come back in a while. As soon as he turned around, he heard a light cough from the study, Yun Meng immediately walked to the door, called the door again, this time the door of the study opened by himself for some reason, Yun Meng took a step forward, one foot outside the house and one foot inside the house, but also saw the situation in the house, there was no one in the house, but he clearly heard the cough, but found that there was a wooden box on the desk, the wooden box was open to the lid, and there was a pearl like a chicken egg in the box, which was shimmering and shining, like a lamp, and what was even more amazing was that there seemed to be mountains and rocks in the pearl, and the shadows were sufficient, it must be a treasure. Seeing this, Yun Meng didn't think about it, so he quickly retreated and closed the door again. Suddenly I heard a noise from the front yard, and hurriedly came to the front yard, and saw that there were already many people standing in the courtyard that was empty just now, led by Yu Weng, the housekeeper of Gongsun Mansion, as well as Xu Hong, Qing Yao and a few domestic servants, a group of people seemed to have something going on.

Yun Meng walked a few steps to Yu Weng and asked, "Old man, but what happened in the house?" Do you need Yunmeng's help? ”

Yu Weng glanced at Yun Meng and said, "Childe doesn't have to bother, it's just that there are thieves in the house, and we are arresting them." Yun Mengxin said, "It's really strange that this Gongsun Mansion is up, there is no one for a while, and there is a thief for a while." I don't know which one it was sung. "Don't look at Yun Meng's young age, but he is really old, Yun Meng didn't speak, just watched from the sidelines. After a while, I saw a little guy running out of the inner house in a panic, and when he saw Yu Weng, he shouted, "It's not good, it's not good." The eyes also quietly glanced at Yun Meng's side a few times, and this look told Yun Meng that "there must be something wrong in it."
