Wuguan is located on the north bank of the Dongwuguan River in Danfeng County, and Hangu Pass, Xiao Pass, and Dasanguan have become the "Four Stops of Qin". Wuguan has a long history, as far as the Spring and Autumn Period was built, named "Shaoxi Pass", and changed to "Wuguan" during the Warring States Period. Guancheng is built on a relatively flat plateau between the canyons, with the lofty Shaoxi Mountain in the north and the dangerous in the south. The city wall is made of bluestone bricks, slightly square, and very strong. A door was opened in the east and west, and the roll hole was covered with bricks and stones. There are four characters of "Sanqin Fortress" on the west gate, two words of "Wuguan" on the east gate, and four words of "Gu Shao Xi Pass" on the forehead of the inner door. The terrain of the western part of the country is relatively flat, only out of the east of the Guan, the mountainside is winding through, the cliff is high and the valley is deep, it is narrow and difficult to walk, so Wuguan is the place where the ancient soldiers must fight.

At that time, Li Shimin suggested that Guanzhong occupy Chang'an, take Chang'an as the base, and dominate the world. Fancy is the Guanzhong is a dangerous enemy, like the Qin State, there is a risk of Hangu Pass and Wuguan, you can sit back and relax and develop and grow, so that the princes of the world compete with each other, but they are resting on the sidelines, waiting for the opportunity to move.

The route Du He decided to take was to cross Wuguan from Shangzhou, enter Dengzhou and go south to Jingzhou, and then go down the river from Jingzhou Jiangling to Jiangnan!

This route has two purposes, one is to appreciate the scenery of Jingzhou and see the magnificence of the Yangtze River in the Tang Dynasty, and the key is that he wants to know how much time it will take to go south from Jiangling down the river and reach Chang'an, so as to estimate the time it will take for Su Dingfang's army to go south.

As the gateway to Guanzhong, even in this peaceful and prosperous era, more than 1,000 guards were stationed in this Wuguan.

After the Wuguan, come to the east, as recorded in the book, the terrain here is gradually dangerous, not close to the Guanzhong when the flat avenue, a small road that only accommodates five people side by side, stretching the mountainside and winding, one side is against the mountain, the other side is a deep valley.

Due to the danger of the road, Duhe dismounted and walked, there were not many pedestrians on the road, most of them were those pedestrians or foot merchants who took shortcuts, they carried large and small merchants, and from time to time they would shout a few words, adding a bit of noise to the long journey.

Walked Lixu, to the most dangerous chain of bends, the terrain here is steep, steep very, a small mountain road, only can accommodate two people, and the angle of the bend presents a ninety degree dead angle, people come and go to see whether there is someone on the opposite side, often collide with each other without paying attention, a careless will have the danger of falling off the cliff, here is the most likely place to happen.

At this time, Du He vaguely heard the boy's crying, looked into the distance, but saw more than a dozen people gathered at the bend in front of him, like a traffic jam, surrounded by one place, and the crying sound came from the crowd in front.

When I was a child, I watched a lot of martial arts dramas, and I had a martial arts dream since I was a child, yearning for those heroes to be chivalrous and righteous.

At this time, his identity is a ranger, and he happened to be a hero, so he couldn't help but speed up his pace and explore to see if there was anything he could contribute.

When I came to a close place, the place was extremely steep, and I didn't dare to squeeze forward, but just asked the people in front of me what was going on.

A footman sighed, "Someone must have fallen." This place is called a chain bend, and it is said that Wuguan lives and dies, and it is the most dangerous place. "He's just here, so he doesn't know the situation, but because he often walks here, he knows a lot about the terrain here.

A traveler in front explained: "A man in his twenties, in order to save a ten-year-old child, fell off a cliff. The child's father is a real person, trying to find a way to go down to see if he can save it, and he is begging passers-by for ropes! ”

Du He looked down the cliff, the cliff is not high, that is, five or six zhang, about fifteen meters or so, you can see that the cliff is low, the cliff is low and there are rocks, this person can not have much chance of living if he falls.

The foot-walking merchant shouted: "This cliff is five feet high, where can a person fall down and have a chance to live." ”

The traveler said: "That's what we say!" The child's father said that even if he died, he would bring the corpse up and bury it properly, and he couldn't let the child's life-saving benefactor just run into the wilderness and let the animals eat it. ”

The footman paused and said: "I have a rope, but there is almost no place to settle on this cliff, and if there is a rope, it may not go down, let alone come up, let alone bring a person?" If even he had an accident, wouldn't I be killing a surname! ”

Du He smiled: "Give me the rope, I will go down, I will do martial arts, I may not be able to bring someone up, but it is not a problem to go up and down by yourself." With his light skills, he flew down directly, and the distance of five or six zhang was nothing at all, but there was nothing he could do when he came up. But only with the rope to borrow power, going up and down will be easy.

The foot merchant was startled and hurriedly said, "This matter has nothing to do with you!" ”

Du He smiled: "It's really irrelevant, but I don't want to see a person who sacrifices himself to save others like this, if you can do your part, just do your part, not to mention that for me, this matter is just a gesture." ”

The foot-walking merchant listened to Du He's self-confidence, and also knew that there were countless strange people in the world, believed his words, and took out a thick hemp rope from the merchant's burden. This was originally bought by him to be used to tie up the roof, quite strong, before giving it to Du He, he emphasized: "Little brother, we have said okay, in case of an accident, are you not allowed to come to me?" ”

Du He smiled: "You can rest assured, it will be fine!" He took the hemp rope, tried the toughness, nodded with satisfaction and tied a slipknot that was tighter and tighter, and loosened if not pulled, jumped off the cliff, in order not to shock the world, he dotted on the cliff wall, and then went down to the bottom of the cliff.

He tried his best not to shock the world, but with such a hand, several people on the cliff were dumbfounded.

Du He went off the cliff, and saw a pile of white bones under the cliff, no less than 30 bodies at a glance, deliberately smelled it, in addition to a dry smell of corpse decay, there was also a smell of blood on the left, and walked along the smell of blood, only to see a person in the pile of rubbles not far away, about twenty-five or six years old, with a bloody face, no face, and a large pool of blood under him, knowing that he should be the person he was looking for, he stepped forward and probed his snort, more breath, less breath, and the person was already unconscious, Loss of consciousness.

Du He put his palm against his chest and injected some internal force into it: since he cured Qin Qiong's old illness with internal force, he has also studied the techniques of internal force healing, and has some experience, using internal force to protect his heart and want to help him recover, but he found that his internal organs have been broken and he is unable to return to the sky.

Perhaps stimulated by internal force, the man "poofed", vomited a mouthful of blood, and the blood also contained some meat scraps, seeing that Du He's eyes revealed a different kind of look, as if returning to the light, he actually spoke: "This brother, I can't do it." I have thirty silver cakes in my arms, you take ten taels to the widow of Du Fei of the Du family in Jimo County, and keep the rest for yourself, tell them that the eldest brother Du Xiang is sorry for her......" After he finished saying this, before Du He said yes or no, his head tilted and died.

Du He scratched the back of his head, as if he had picked up a trouble, and recalled Du Xiang's pleading eyes before he died, and said in his heart: "Okay, let's go this way." Jimo is near the sea, and it is a big deal to take the sea route and go directly to Yangzhou. Thinking about carrying the money bag in Du Xiang's arms, he helped him and planned to take him to the cliff.

"Ding Dong", I don't know what I kicked at my feet, I made a strange crisp sound, I looked down, there was a slap waist card at my feet, it seemed to be black, and I picked up the waist card curiously, and it was very heavy to start, and it was actually made of dark iron.

Dark iron has existed since ancient times, and it comes from the sky, and it is a strange metal contained in meteorites outside the sky, which is ** times heavier than iron. As long as the weapon contains dark iron, the texture will rise several grades, if there are many ingredients of dark iron, it is a divine weapon. The coiled dragon sword that Li Shimin gave him contained some dark iron in it.

Du He is in charge of the Academy of Science and Technology, and he has heard that the craftsman has said that there is such a thing as dark iron, but even the entire palace is rare, there is such a large piece of dark iron under this cliff, is it printed in the book, there is a treasure under the cliff?

Thinking like this, he didn't rush up, hid the Xuantie token on his chest, and scraped it under the cliff.

There are no martial arts cheats, and there are no magic weapons, but there are a lot of things such as silver coins, jade pendants, jewelry, and most of them are the property of the dead.

Du He is not a pedantic person, he has always believed that the dead are gone, and it is best to benefit the living. He was not short of money, but it was better to give it to the poor than to rot on a cliff!

Carrying Du Xiang on his back and climbing the cliff, everyone saw that the person was dead, they all sighed for a long time, they all hated that good people don't live long, and they also sincerely appreciated Du He's ability.

Du He and the father of the rescued child buried Du Xiang on the hillside not far away.

The father and the child thanked Du He again and again, and Du He smiled disapprerovingly, led the horse and walked away.

Out of Wuguan, Du He rested in an inn in Shangnan, lying on the bed, but playing with the Xuantie token he picked up from under the cliff in his hand, the token showed a long age, and it was carefully carved with strange patterns, on one side was a graceful woman wielding a double sword, and on the other side was a graceful woman but not dancing swords but dancing Changling. There is a sentence below each of the two patterns. Which side of the sword dance is engraved with "The sword shocks the world through Changhong", and the side of the dance Changling is "Dancing in all directions silently".

"The sword shocked the world and ran through Changhong, dancing silently in all directions, so arrogant a poem, I don't know what sword, what dance, so good, can it be compared to the sword dance of Gongsun Auntie?" Du He's song "Watching the Disciples of Gongsun Lady Dance with Swords" came to Du Fu's mind, and he whispered: "In the past, there was a beautiful woman Gongsun's family, and a sword dance moved in all directions. The spectators are depressed like mountains, and the heavens and the earth are low for a long time. Yao Ruyi shoots nine days and falls, and he is like a group of emperors and dragons. Come like thunder to restrain anger, and let it be like the river and sea condensing the light. …… It's a pity that Aunt Gongsun was born in the Tang Xuanzong period, otherwise you can enjoy this legendary sword dance! ”

Set the Darkiron Token aside and fall asleep.
