"I'm afraid Luoyang is turning the sky upside down now, right? The Wang family will definitely collapse, the Tianjin army will also be rebuilt, you are really a disaster, no wonder the sage drove you out? Wherever you go, things follow? Nalan Feiya sighed.

"Do you complain about today's events? The conscience of heaven and earth, a certain just wanted to come out of Wang's ugliness and vent his anger to the saint, who knew that there were so many situations? Tianjin Army, does it make sense for what kind of government soldiers exist? The battle can't be fought, and even the guarding of the bridge will occupy the master's territory" Dugu Xinci is very aggrieved.

"Don't blame you, who blames you? What are you doing nonsense in the Flying Incense Hall today? Nalan Feiya asked curiously.

"So-and-so is teaching a saint how to be a saint?" Dugu Xinci muttered as he nibbled on the grilled fish.

"Teach a saint to be a saint? Sage Teacher? ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, there must be my teacher in the threesome, what Sage Kong said"

"Sage Kong? Confucius? ”

"Oh, he's not a saint yet, is he? Sooner or later, he will become a saint, so most of these saints are divided by others and canonized as saints? It is also necessary for people to be obedient."

"You can only say this in front of someone, don't let people hear it, why don't you think about it when the saint hears it?" Nalan Feiya admonished.

"Just talking, what about the saints who have big hearts today?"

"That is, otherwise, even if you send it to Luoyang to find a scolding this time, if you are slightly dissatisfied in your heart, you can't get out so easily, you are talking nonsense in the palace today, and the sage thinks that it will be bad if you want to divide his imperial power?"

"There is indeed a meaning in a certain word to let him delegate imperial power," Dugu Xinci nodded.

"Thou hast great courage"

"Absolute power leads to absolute corruption, and you can only be safe in the cage of the system, but how difficult is that?" Dugu sighed.

"Your heart is so big"

"Don't talk about that, let's go to Hukou Waterfall tomorrow?"

"Hukou Waterfall?" Nalan Feiya didn't know where to think about it.

"It's where is Meng Chuan, the source of Kunlun Yan Daliu, Yuguan nine turns a pot to collect."

"Meng Chuan? Where is Monmen Mountain? Also Yuguan nine turns a pot to receive? If you want to come to the scenery, but do you need to go around so far? Nalan Feiya was a little moved.

"Come out and enjoy it"

"That's too"

After discussing tomorrow's itinerary, everyone put their minds down to enjoy the barbecue, and rested by the carriage and the fire at night.

The next day, we first traveled west along the Yellow River, and the Yellow River at the end of May had a magnificent scene.

The Yellow River, like a lion with its back rising and its head high, crosses the lofty mountains and mountains of Qinggan from the snowy region; the Hetao Plain across Ganning; galloping in the high mountains and deep valleys between Jin and Shaanxi; Break through the "dragon gate" and go eastward at the foot of Xiyue Hua Mountain, cross North China, and rush to the coast of the North Sea.

Looking against the current, it is another scene. Looking at it, I felt that the sky was gradually lowering, and the big white clouds were rolling, flashing with silver light, dazzling, like a flock of sheep, like a wild horse, as if it was rushing in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, borrowing the big river as a springboard, and jumping into the blue sky. The blue sky overhead is clear and transparent, and the distance gradually dims, and at the extreme eye, the water of the Yellow River rises abruptly, and the water and the sky become one in a dim. The majestic momentum of the water of the Yellow River from the sky, accompanied by the roaring waves, swallowed people's souls.

When everyone arrived at Sanmenxia, they saw the human gate, the ghost gate, and the god gate, and did not go to Hangu Pass, but directly crossed the river to cross Yuncheng, Linyi, and Hejin, and went to a small town under Mengmen Mountain in Ji County, on the side of the Yellow River, to rest at night.

The Yellow River flows in the north-south direction here, the river channel is narrow, the Yellow River is here, the stone walls on both sides of the river stand steeply, the estuary is narrow as the mouth of the pot, the name of Dugu Xinci is just like the name of the Hukou Waterfall.

"Hukou" one, first seen in the Warring States Period "Shangshu Yu Gong", such as "both carry the mouth of the pot, the beam and the disagreement", "the mouth of the pot, the head of the thunder, as for Taiyue", are related to Dayu's water control.

"Mengmen Mountain" is a book, which was first seen in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" between Zhou and Qin, and it is recorded in the book that "three hundred and twenty miles to the southeast, it is said that the mountain of Mengmen has many canopanite on it, and there are many chalk and Dorne stones under it."

In Li Daoyuan's "Notes on the Book of Water", he made a profound description of Mengmen and waterfalls: "Huainanzi" said: Longmen has not been opened, Luliang has not been chiseled, the river is out of Mengmen, the big overflow is countercurrent, there are no hills, Gaofu is extinguished, the name is flood, Dayu is dredged, and it is called Mengmen. Therefore, "The Biography of Mu Tianzi" said: Beideng, the kick of the nine rivers of Mengmen, Mengmen, that is, the mouth of the Longmen, is actually the giant of the Yellow River, and the name of Mengjin. This stone is chiseled by the beginning of Yu, the river is wide, the bank is deep, the cliff is overbearing, the boulder is in danger, if it falls, it is leaning again. Some people in ancient times said that water can enter the stone without being chiseled from stone, and it is believed. Among them, the water flow is balanced, the clouds float, and the remote observers often touch people like fog and dew, and peep into the deep throbbing soul. Its water is still collapsing and the waves are thousands of searches, the suspension is thousands of feet, the muddy flood is the most angry, the drum mountain is like Teng, the wave is declining, until the lower mouth, Fang knows that Shenzi is flowing floating bamboo under the dragon gate, and the chase of the non-horse is also. ”

The terrain of Mengmen Mountain is dangerous, the mountains are rugged, weeds and low trees, but there is no scenery to see.

Dugu Xinci took everyone to rest in the inn, and there were many guests, but Dugu Xinci was generous and rich, and it was quiet to pack a courtyard alone.

In the early morning of the next day, the whole town was actually full of people, and Dugu Xinci was a little depressed, what day is this? How many people come to such a small town?

Called the inn doctor and asked, today is actually the Mengmen Mountain temple fair, and it is also the day to worship the river god.

"Sacrifice to the river god?" Dugu Xinci wondered.

"Worship the god of Mengmen Mountain and River, the god of Mengmen Mountain and River is also called the ancestor of the Yellow River, which is very effective," the inn doctor smiled.

Dugu Xinci sent away the innkeeper doctor, and said with a smile, "They sacrifice their river gods, and they go to see the waterfall."

Nalan Feiya had no objections, and the little lady of the witch spirit dance also applauded, and everyone went north along the river after eating early.

Mengmen Mountain area, the west bank of the Yellow River is steep and gentle, the width of the narrow valley valley is about 200 steps, the slope is about 100 steps high from the valley bottom uphill to the Longwang slope, the cliff bank is very steep, the valley shape above the Longwang slope is widened, the valley slope is gentle, the cross section of the Yellow River becomes the form of the valley in the valley, in the north of the Longwang Valley, the width of the river and the width of the narrow valley are the same, the river water is full of the narrow valley, the water flows to the mouth of the pot below, and rushes into a deep trough at the bottom of the flat valley (a small river trough is set in the big river trough). The small river trough is more than 20 paces wide and 20 paces deep. Above the spout, the water is popular in the wide trough, and when it reaches the upper end of the deep trough, the water surface more than 200 steps wide is poured into the deep trough more than 20 steps wide at once, forming a waterfall. The riverbed here is shaped like a huge teapot, which collects the water of the Yellow River, hence the name of the mouth.

"The source is Kunlun Yan Daliu, and Yuguan is nine turns and a pot is collected." It is a true portrayal of the scene of the spout. Hukou Waterfall is spectacular. The surging yellow water pours down, the torrent is surging, the turbidity waves are rolling, the water droplets are splashing, the smoke is misty, the waves are roaring, the sonic shock is several miles, the height of the waterfall can reach 20 zhang in the dry period, and it can reach 30 zhang in summer and autumn. During the flood, the torrent rolls and gushes out of the deep trough, and the waterfall becomes a torrent and disappears. The river water goes down ten miles along the deep trough is the Mengmen, after the Mengmen, the water surface widens, the water potential slows down, and it returns to the scene above the dragon king's reins.

"The source is Kunlun Yan Daliu, and Yuguan is nine turns and a pot is collected." Nalan Feiya was also relaxed and happy, and couldn't help but think of her lover's poems.

"It would be better if there were no idlers" Dugu smiled bitterly, both sides of the waterfall were full of people at the moment, it was good to say that the locals would sacrifice to the gods, and they would play their own, and the two would not interfere, who knew that the place where they sacrificed to the gods was this Hukou Waterfall?

"It's good to look at the state of worshipping the gods," Nalan Feiya comforted.

"I want to see how this Yellow River Ancestor works?" Dugu Xinci snorted.

The ceremonies of the gods in the world are much the same, nothing more than a few chief priests wearing strange clothes, saying inexplicable words, taking two inexplicable steps, a group of believers kneeling down a few times, and then throwing down some sacrifices, and finally all the people go back to eat and drink and finish their work.

It's just that the ritual of sacrificing the ancestors of the Yellow River is a little different in that their sacrifices are boys and girls, which are real boys and girls, not paper-tied paste, and can eat, drink and talk alive.

Dugu Xinci didn't pay attention at first, and when she saw that the eyes of the two little ladies Nalan Feiya and Wu Lingwu were wrong, she noticed that a few pairs of pink boys and girls on the altar couldn't really throw these pairs of boys and girls to the Yellow River to worship the gods, right?

Dugu Xinci quietly asked an old farmer beside him, "Uncle, it's polite, you won't throw a living person to sacrifice to the river god today, right?" ”

"This year, I want to send four pairs of boys, boys, girls and ancestors," the old farmer replied hesitantly.

"How so?" The little lady of the witch spirit dance was immediately annoyed.

Nalan Feiya looked at Dugu Xinci.

"You wait to look at it first, and go to see if there are any people in the official mansion" Dugu Xinci nodded, and immediately squeezed into the crowd with the big bear and dog.

Wu Lingwu and Empress Nalan watched first, and the process of sacrificing to the gods was getting closer and closer to the end, and they had already begun to throw pigs and sheep into the Yellow River.

"What should I do?" The little lady of the witch spirit dance said anxiously.

"Go up first" Nalan Feiya saw that there was no movement on Dugu Xinci's side, and said decisively, and jumped more than half a mile away and fell on the altar.

Then the Witch Dance and Tussa followed.

The three little ladies fell like fairies, and the bluffing priests and believers were stunned and at a loss.

"Who are you? So what's going on? Why are you blocking the festival of worshipping the river god? "The leading priest is a thin Taoist who wears an apricot yellow robe.

"You're from that Taoist temple? Why kidnap children? "Empress Nalan's momentum is terrifying.

"A certain is the ancestor of Mengmen Mountain, a certain is sacrificing the river god, you and the others dodge, otherwise you will miss the time and provoke the ancestors, and you can't afford it" The thin Taoist shouted.

"Ancestral view? Can you know Wang Xuanfu or Chang'an Jinglongguan Hanguang Dao? Empress Nalan also shouted.

"A certain person is the messenger of the ancestor of the Yellow River, and the few secular people you said don't know something, get out of the way quickly, otherwise you and a few others will also be sent to the ancestor as a sacrifice," the old Dao Dun still shouted.

"If you wait for the crooked ways of the evil sect and take children captive, aren't you afraid of the king's law?" The little lady of the witch spirit dance also shouted.

"Come on, drive these women away, and send the sacrifices to the ancestor as soon as possible, don't let the ancestor wait in a hurry" Lao Dao shouted, and several Daoists with hideous faces rushed up.

"Bold" Empress Nalan was annoyed, and with a wave of her sleeves, a strong wind rolled up, and all the Taoists who came up also staggered down the altar.

"Who is so-and-so? Empress Nalan? The old man in the apricot yellow robe did not panic, sneered indifferently, raised the peach wood sword in his hand, and began to chant words in his mouth.

"Untie the child, let's go" Nalan Feiya instructed Wu Lingwu and Du Shasha, and she turned sideways to stop the old man in the apricot yellow robe.

Wu Lingwu and Du Shasha untied the ropes that bound the four pairs of boys and girls, but they felt a vision behind them, and when they looked back, a water dragon appeared in the sky.

Nalan Feiya pinched out a trick, and a light curtain stopped the water dragon.

The water dragon was blocked, turned into water droplets and fell into the Yellow River.

"You have offended the Yellow River Ancestor, waiting to die, right?" The apricot yellow robe old Taoist drank wildly, the peachwood sword connected the dots, and several water arrows shot over.

Nalan Feiya waved her hand, and the water arrows scattered.

"Hurry up and get out of the altar" A voice sounded, and Nalan Feiya couldn't help but smile when she saw Dugu Xinci riding a big bear and shouting in the crowd.

"The ancestor is going to be powerful, don't you leave quickly" Dugu Xinci was still shouting loudly, but how could the surrounding believers believe it? A few stout men almost wanted to be caught at close range, but they were swept away by the legs of the big bear and a dog.

"You don't hurry up and evacuate the crowd," Yuandong Hou shouted to a green-robed official.

"How can you, a murderer, disturb the festival? Hurry up and take it down," the green-robed official shouted.

"Ah Dog, catch it" Dugu Xinci commanded, Ah Dog grabbed the official's neck with a dodge and threw it over.

Dugu Xinci caught it and shouted, "If you don't listen to a certain word, you will be thrown down the river to sacrifice the ancestor."

The green-robed official was about to struggle, but when he saw the gloomy eyes of the Far Eastern Hou Dugu, his heart was great, and the cruel words he thought about turned into a continuous shout, "Get out of the river"

You and the others shouted together: "Dugu Xinci instructed the people around him who looked like they were hunting."

"Come on, it's really chaotic, you and the others will all die here today," Dugu Xinci roared.

So the group of trappers looked at the Shangguan who was being held, and shouted in unison, "Get out of the river"

A clever catcher also rang the gong, and the sound of leaving the river was everywhere.

It's a pity that the water of the Yellow River Waterfall shook the sky and covered the shouts of the crowd.

"Roll up the water column and drink back the crowd," Dugu Xinci shouted at Nalan Feiya again.

Nalan Feiya frowned, but obeyed the orders of the lover, a complicated trick was pinched out, and a yellow dragon suddenly flew up in the Yellow River, and the surrounding crowd suddenly made an uproar, and the yellow dragon flew up a sweep, staggering the crowd on the shore.

Believers on both sides of the strait suddenly rushed to the ground.

"You and the others will all die here today" The apricot yellow robe old Taoist was stubborn, the peachwood sword was still waving, and the water arrows were fired in succession, harassing the Empress Nalan.

"Sasha, throw this old way into the river," Dugu Xinci shouted.

Du Shasha dodged, that is, she came to Lao Dao's side, pinched his neck, and shook his hand, Lao Dao flew like a stone into the Yellow River.

Lao Dao kicked his hands and feet in the air, and was trying to stabilize his body and fly to the opposite bank, when Du Shasha raised his hand, and a water arrow hit her back, and she immediately fell like a falling stone into the surging Yellow River.

"Hurry down," Dugu Xinci still shouted anxiously, but the altar was on the edge of the cliff, and the half of the platform was almost sticking out of the water.

Wu Lingwu didn't know why the Far Eastern Hou was so anxious today, and hurriedly dragged a few boys and girls out of the altar.

Nalan Feiya also smiled, suddenly her heart throbbed, and she turned around suddenly, only to see a water injection rising into the sky in the middle of the Yellow River.

The water column is the size of a grinding plate, and the apricot yellow robe old man who has fallen into the water stands upright on the water column.

The source of Kunlun Yan Liu, Yuguan nine turns a pot to receive. The double soaring shallow straight fight, the three drum whale scales dare to carry the boat.
