Ximen Qing and Wu Song and their entourage of four people went out of Qinghe County and traveled all the way to Mengzhou City, Henan. The two dukes, Wang Wu and Zhao Liu, waited carefully on the road, lest they would slow down the star lord and the tiger heroes. Ximen Qing and Wu Song saw that he was cautious, and they didn't treat them with a low eye, they ate together when they ate, and drank together, Wang Wu and Zhao Liu were secretly grateful in their hearts: "The star lord and the big officials also regarded us as people!" ”

Along the way, Ximenqing and Wu Song competed in some martial arts, and the brothers got along very well. Ximenqing only discovered at this time that Wu Song was really a genius in martial arts. Originally, the flail on his hand and neck was only worn in a place with many people, and picked it off in a place with few people.

In May, I left the Qinghe, rushed to the state, and unconsciously entered June, it was the scorching summer day, the day of the umbrella, Ximenqing and his party, no matter how great their skills, could not fight against the big sun of the stone, so they had to hurry up and walk in the cool night.

On this day, before coming to a mountain range, when Ximen Qing and Wu Song looked at it, the mountain was not deep. But I saw that the mountain shape is steep and the ridge is grand. Between the rocks, the bird road is cut out; On the steep wall, pull down the wisps of dead vines. The two cen are sandwiched between the east gully, who can guess the depth? A mountain across the western sky, high and wide is difficult to measure. The trees are easy to hide, and there is a little forest weather brewing during the day; The cliff is hard to complete, and countless jagged ghosts breed in the dark night. When you look up, the flowers bloom in the middle of the clouds; At the pole of the eye, the smoke gathers and the fog peaks. Let's talk about the difficult road of the mountains and mountains, we must keep in mind that the red dust and the world's vigilance bell rest teach people's hearts to be more dangerous than the road, and don't let desire win the mountains.

When Wang Wu and Zhao Liu saw such a high mountain, they first cried out bitterly: "Oh, this mountain is so high and dangerous, how can you get by?" ”

Wu Song glanced at them and didn't bother to answer. Ximen Qing said with a smile: "Since the two Duangongs have said that it is not possible, we might as well take my second brother back to Dongping Mansion!" Wouldn't it be easy to ask the prefect to send it to Qinghe County nearby? ”

Wang Wuzhao looked at each other on six faces, and the public escorted the prisoners, but gave up halfway, and there was no such reason since ancient times. The second duke had to sigh with a sad face: "Let's go!" Here today, our brothers gave up their lives! ”

Although the words are ruthless, when you really climb up, it is not necessarily so difficult, and you don't have to give up your life. Thanks to Ximen Qing and Wu Song, there is that steep place, as long as the two of them carry a handful, they will take Wang Wu and Zhao Liu over, so this mountain can be climbed with effort.

And there is an advantage, because the sun does not shine in the deep mountains, so the heat does not come to annoy, although Ximenqing and his party climbed high and low with difficulty, but it is also rare to go happy. There was also the sweet gurgling of the clear spring, and I drank two sips in my stomach and poured two handfuls on my face, which was really comfortable to the bones.

When he stopped halfway, Wang Wu and Zhao Liu rubbed their ankles and said: "It turns out that although the mountains in the world look high, they are nothing if they climb it in person!" ”

Ximen Qing stroked his palms and said, "Why not climb the mountain? This is the truth of everything in the world! As he spoke, he and Wu Song looked at each other and smiled.

After walking along the mountain road again, I saw that the sky was gradually darkening, and the mountains gradually became dark, and there were some wild beasts crying in the deep trees and dense forests, and it became more and more difficult and cold to see the wind and fog between the two mountain walls, and it was terrifying and cold. Every minute of twilight deepened, the ghostly aura of the forest doubled.

Wang Wu and Zhao Liu couldn't help but be creepy, and just said: "Ximen official, Wudu head, when will this mountain road be a leader?" If there is no store in Buba Village before, if it is...... If it is ......" hesitated and looked around, but did not dare to say the "if" in his heart.

Wu Song sneered: "It's just jumping out of the tiger and leopard, which of us can't beat it?" Why should you two look ahead? ”

Wang Wu and Zhao Liu glanced at each other, their faces became bitter melon, and they said in their hearts that you are a hero who fights tigers, and the great officials of Ximen are the stars of the heavens, and they are all masters without taboos, but we are two mortal mortals, and we can't compare with you!

Just in my heart, I only heard the sound of "Tuo", and a black and swarthy thing jumped out of the roadside, and Wang Wuzhao and Liu only made an "oops" sound, and they made a bunch of soft piles and fell there, trembling all over.

When Ximen Qing and Wu Song squinted, it was a woodcutter who jumped out, because he was carrying a load of firewood on his shoulder, and in the twilight, he looked like a dangerous god, no wonder Wang Wu and Zhao Liu would be wrong for a moment and fall to the ground in fright.

The woodcutter looked at the four of them and shouted, "How many of you have eaten the bear's heart and leopard's guts?" The sun has already reached the mountain, and you dare to hang out here? Hurry up, hurry up, go away! If you provoke that man and bear to come out, it's not a trick! ”

When Ximenqing looked carefully, he saw that the woodcutter was rough and big, with a sharpened axe pinned to the belt of the nine-strand vine around his waist, and two bundles of dry firewood piled up as high as a hill on the burden of black oil. The most surprising thing is that on his arms, from the shoulders to the elbows, from the elbows to the wrists, there are also two long green bamboo tubes, and the image is very different from the woodcutter he is used to.

At that moment, he clasped his fists and saluted: "Brother woodcutter, but I don't know what mountain this is?" What is the name of the place? And the man-bears you just mentioned, what is that? ”

When the woodcutter saw that Wang Wu and Zhao Liu had already returned to their souls and were getting up from the ground, he urged: "Hurry up, hurry up!" Where is there room for small talk. If you want to hear it, let's talk as we go. ”

Wang Wu and Zhao Liu saw that the person who came was a human and not a ghost, and finally let go of half of the heart he was carrying, but as soon as he heard that there were some people and bears doing strange things, the heart that had just been put down immediately raised again, even higher than Fang Cai. The flexibility of its changes is better than the price of goods under the care of the Development and Reform Commission of Ximen Qingna.

At that moment, the woodcutter led the way, and complained as he walked: "Fortunately, you have met someone, if you can't turn out of the mountains along this mountain road when you go into the depths of the mountain, how can it be good?" ”

Wu Song said impatiently: "Man, did you hear what my brother asked you just now?" ”

The woodcutter didn't look back and said, "You are also anxious, but you are not in a hurry to walk, you only care about the work of your mouth." Okay! Let's talk to you. This mountain range is the remnant vein of Bear's Ears Mountain, because it is close to Mengzhou, for many years, people have a smooth mouth, and it is pronounced as Mengzhou Road, and the edge of the big forest in front of the ridge is the famous cross slope. ”

As soon as he heard the name of the cross slope, Ximenqing was surprised and delighted. This is exactly what it is:

Climb mountains and mountains to open up old roads, and pour out your heart and courage to recognize new knowledge. But I don't know what happened after the cross slope, and listen to the next decomposition.
