Yanmen Pass, is an important pass on the Great Wall, known for its "danger", known as "the first pass in China", and has the saying that "there are nine stops in the world, and Yanmen is the head".

Yanmen Pass, Ningwu Pass, and Yatou Pass are collectively called "Outer Three Passes".

At this time, the Great Song Dynasty Fu had Middle Earth, and after the Yuanfeng period, the world was divided into 23 roads.

With Daliang as the capital, it is called Tokyo Kaifeng Mansion, Luoyang is Xijing Henan Mansion, Songzhou is Nanjing, and Daimyo Mansion is Beijing, which is the four capitals.

Ye Qianqiu took Dugu Lingsheng out of Luoyang, Xijing, all the way to the north, into Shanxi, through Yuncheng, through Linfen, and then through Taiyuan, it took only three days to reach Daizhou.

Yanmen Pass is in the north of Daizhou thirty miles of Yanmen dangerous road, belongs to Hedong Road.

When Ye Qianqiu and Dugu Lingsheng arrived in Daizhou, they saw that there were already many beggars gathered in the city, and at first glance, they were beggars.

Ye Qianqiu was not in a hurry, and took Dugu Lingsheng to rest in Daizhou City for a long time, and then followed the people of the beggar gang out of Daizhou City and towards Yanmen Pass.

Thirty miles is nothing to Ye Qianqiu, but Dugu Lingsheng's skills are still shallow, and he only knows some superficial fists and feet.

But Dugu Lingsheng does not call tired, nor does he complain of bitterness.

Ye Qianqiu saw it in his eyes, this kid has a lot of resilience, it is a good thing to be able to persevere, where can he practice martial arts without hardship.

Talent is one thing, but if you want to practice solid basic skills, you don't just have talent.

Ye Qianqiu was still afraid that this kid was used to being a rich young master and was not used to walking on the rivers and lakes, but after a few days of observation, he felt more and more that this kid was a good seedling.

Left and right, this trip out, is not a loss.

It was the first time for Dugu Lingsheng to be so far away from home, and at the beginning, he was still a little excited, and he felt happy to see everything.

But after a few days of driving, he was already tired enough, and he felt confused when he saw anything.

Fortunately, there is a master who passed on his exhalation method, so that his body is not so heavy, even if he travels hundreds of miles a day, as long as he practices internal strength for one night at night, the next day is a dragon and a tiger.

I rested in Daizhou City last night, and drank two large bowls of mutton soup and ate five or six cakes, but he was ruined.

At this moment, looking at the mountain road, I also feel full of energy.

The two of them went up the mountain one after the other, only to see the steep rocks on the east and west sides, and there was a road in the middle, which was hovering and rugged, which really made people feel a sense of heaviness.

Along the way, there were a lot of beggars, as well as other characters in the rivers and lakes, all of whom were rushing to Yanmen Pass.

Ye Qianqiu and Dugu Lingsheng avoided these people, but no one knew their traces.

After a short time, they had already arrived at Yanmen Pass, but it was a little difficult for ordinary people to get out.

Yanmen Pass is an important town in the north of the Great Song Dynasty, more than 40 passes in Shanxi, Yanmen is the most majestic, dozens of miles outside the pass, it is the boundary of Liao, there are heavy troops stationed on the pass.

If you pass through the gate, you will definitely be interrogated by the officers and soldiers guarding the pass, so if you don't want to be interrogated by the officers and soldiers, you have to take a detour from the high ridge in the western part of the country.

Ye Qianqiu was not afraid of the officers and soldiers to investigate, but he didn't want to trouble, so he found a high mountain and stopped first, but he didn't follow those beggars to make a detour.

Ye Qianqiu and Dugu Lingsheng stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the outside of the pass, there were already many people and horses gathered in one place, and farther away, it was even more black.

It was as if the sky was completely obscured.

Dust flew up, covering half the sky like dark clouds, and the sound of rumbling and rumbling was non-stop.

Ye Qianqiu stood with his hands in his hands, feeling a murderous aura coming from his face.

Dugu Lingsheng stood beside Ye Qianqiu, looking at the outside of the pass, and couldn't help but feel a little inexplicable in his heart.

It was as if something was blocking his throat.

After a while, Dugu Lingsheng asked Ye Qianqiu, "Master, Yanmen Pass, why is it called Yanmen Pass?" ”

Ye Qianqiu said: "The wild goose travels south and returns to the north, it is difficult to fly over the peak, and it must pass between the two peaks, so it is called Yanmen." ”

Dugu Lingsheng bowed slightly, he liked to dance with knives and sticks since he was a child, and he was not good at reading, so he knew very little about this historical allusion.

Ye Qianqiu looked at it.

But see Fanzhi, Wutai towers eastward, Ningwu Zhushan West area, Zhengyang, Shigu stand in the south, and its north is Shuozhou, Mayi, Changpo Junhan, blank, cold forest desert, scene bleak.

Ye Qianqiu couldn't help but think of him in his previous life, not in the last world, but when he hadn't crossed over, he was actually from Shanxi, and his hometown was in this Daizhou area.

Now that there have been many years of spring and autumn, he recalls his hometown in that world, as if there is some kind of memory, which slowly coincides in his mind.

There are many things, after all, they are imprinted in the heart, no matter how the world changes, how the sea turns into mulberry fields, they cannot be forgotten or changed.

"Master, what are the black clouds over there......

"It seems that there are a lot of people ......"

Dugu Lingsheng looked at the outside of the gate, he couldn't see too far away, but vaguely felt that there seemed to be a lot of people.

Ye Qianqiu said: "Xiao Shengzi, do you know where it is outside the Yanmen Pass?" ”

Dugu Lingsheng said: "I know, outside the customs, it is the territory of Liao." ”

Ye Qianqiu looked inexplicable, and said: "During the Warring States Period, Li Mu, the general of Zhao State, fought against the Xiongnu here. ”

"After Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, he sent the general Meng Tian to lead 300,000 troops, also from Yanmen, attacked the Hu people in the north, collected all the land of the Hetao, and drove the Huns to the north of Yinshan."

"The famous generals of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing, Huo Quai, and Li Guang all galloped inside and outside the ancient fortress of Yanmen, defeated the Huns many times, and made great contributions."

"For nearly 100 years, the area around Yanmen Pass has always been a battlefield fiercely contested by Song and Liao, and there are too many people buried here."

"A small number of people are fortunate enough to leave their names and can be admired by future generations, but many more people died outside this Yanmen Pass without a name, no one knows their names and surnames, and no one knows who they fought for."

"Lingsheng, you have to take a good look at Yanmen Pass, you will come back here in the future."

"There is a kind of swordsmanship that is practiced in the battlefield."

"Anyone can practice the swordsmanship of ten people."

"A swordsmanship genius who can defeat a hundred people can practice."

"But the swordsmanship that can defeat thousands or thousands of people is something that only one in ten thousand can practice."

"The murder brawls on the rivers and lakes are not worth mentioning at all compared to the battles on the battlefield."

When Dugu Lingsheng heard this, he said, "Master, do you mean to say that the black cloud is the army of the Khitans?" ”

Ye Qianqiu bowed slightly, and said, "Yes, Khitan, here." ”

At this time, I saw Dugu Lingsheng pointing to the head of Yanmen Pass, and said loudly: "Master, you see, there are a lot of archers, is this going to war!" ”
