Chapter 8 The Locksmith
The city of Yangzhou, it is romantic, the morning of Fuchun is early, plus a pot of Yangzhou's city flower jasmine, constitute a fragrant smell, walk in the streets of weeping willows everywhere at night, most of the artists in the store are not to support their families, but for art, the onlookers are also very generous, can be put into the copper plate, a field, cheer.
Cui Hao's Yanbo River did not make people worry, but Du Mu's smoke cage cold water and moon cage sand is certain.
The city does not need the embellishment of neon lights, countless literati have repaid it more appreciation, the night of the bright moon of the twenty-four bridges, the night park Qinhuai is closer to the restaurant, the flowers and the moon are intoxicating, it is the gentle hometown of Wu Nong's soft words, it is the poetic Jiangnan song, just like Dai Wangshuzhong, the girl who walks alone in the rain alley with an oil-paper umbrella, sadness condenses.
During the day, the small lamb intestine alley is very noisy, and there are all kinds of businesses in the alley, and the locksmith is here, which is really inconspicuous.
When the lock king was holding a wire and preparing to point it at the sun, suddenly a shadow blocked his light, and suddenly he lost his temper and was about to scold, but he saw a young man with a smile on his face standing in front of him, and suddenly lost his temper again: he stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiling man.
Forget it, count yourself unlucky.
The locksmith turned in a different direction to the sun, ready to shine again, but the young man blocked his light again, and looked at himself with a smile.
This must have been done on purpose.
"I say, you kid, you-"
The words he scolded had not yet reached Li Reform's ears, and when he saw the old man beside Li Reform, he was dumbfounded as if he had seen a ghost.
"You, you, you, you, you—you, you, you—"
However, "you" have been thinking about "you" for a long time, and there is still no "you" to find out.
"King Suo, come with me."
Li Gai said with a smile, it was still an affirmative sentence, not a question sentence.
The Lone Thorn Iron King glanced at him faintly, and the glint in his eyes matched Li Reform's request, as if he was preparing to salute first and then soldier.
Engineers, ingenuity, labor, and artifacts.
Sometimes it's people who can't understand and imagine that can do things beyond imagination.
To go to Meili Snow Mountain, you need to pass through the land, by the green train, it took half a month to finally arrive, and the waterway, you need to support the boat yourself.
Far away from a water wave, the paddle is placed on both sides of the canyon, are axe and knife like a hundred zhang cliff, green mountains are verdant, clear water surrounding, constitute a very rare ground crack scenery. The water of the river is so clear that the boat seems to be suspended in the air.
The long and narrow and slightly arc topography, surrounded by cliffs and streams, is like a dream nature that returns to the basics, and the river is turquoise and crystal clear, and the mountains on both sides of the bank stand thousands of miles.
There were five people on the boat: the one-thorn iron king sat on the bow of the boat, his legs were crossed, his face was solemn, he didn't know what he was thinking, the lock king and two disciples were in the boat, and Li Reform was the one rowing the boat.
On his own journey, Li Reform only wanted four people, and he didn't want to say anything about the lock king and take his two apprentices with him, otherwise he would not feel at ease.
These two apprentices look like five big and three thick, and they are obviously not the kind of thick and fine, I don't know if the locksmith like the lock king accepts such apprentices, whether he is looking for two free thugs, or he is not ready to find someone to inherit his mantle.
The two strong men, the older one is called the big dog, and the younger one is called the second dog, both of which were brought up by the king of Suo from the countryside, and the rural people are like this, and the cheaper the child's name, the better it is to feed.
Under the strong appearance of the big dog, it seems to be a simple face, but in fact there is a trace of cunning; Ergou is even more calculating, very shrewd, to a certain extent, these two people and the lock king are really in the same vein.
At this time, the three of them sat in a circle, circling the middle of the boat, muttering, looking at the peaks on both sides, not knowing what they were thinking.
After a little more walking, the mountains gradually became clearer, I don't know whether the wind blew eastward along the weeping willows, or the clouds drifted slowly - the emerald foothills became thicker and thicker, and when you looked closely, you realized that it was not the wind or the clouds, but the sun that moved an inch overhead, and half of the foothills cast shadows under the huge blue sky.
There are few houses on the mountain, but I found a lot of temples with red walls and black tiles, and the incense enshrined in the temple is rising, which is quite like cooking smoke.
Go to the center of the lake, the white sun is setting in the west, and the thin clouds in the sky turn from white to red, blurred like a piece of colored cloth spreading the water surface. Three or five green-headed gray-winged water, flying away from the reeds in a row, all the scenery is peaceful, cut a piece of paper at will, it can become a good Song people's painting book.
"Hey, I said, how long will it take for the reform baby?"
"Get out of this waterway first, and then you need to get on the bus and change to the Sichuan-Tibet line."
It was King Suo who asked, and when he got the answer, he immediately lowered his head and muttered in a low voice, "The place where this person is going is Meili Snow Mountain, are you guys ready?" ”
"Master rest assured, he has already been prepared, if he wants to eat black at that time, he will be sure that he will not be able to eat and walk around!"
The big dog said viciously, ushering in a soft drink from the lock king, "You dog thing, who let you say this, I am the guy who asked you to eat, this reform kid can actually invite the single thorn iron king, it is really beyond my expectations, this proves that this trip to the lama, must be a great lama, and he also specially brought me, indicating that this kid in that place has been here, and he can't handle it himself, so he turned around and brought me with the single thorn iron king." ”
King Suo didn't guess wrong, there Li Reform did go there once, with his means, the big tomb in the world, there is no place where he can't go, but the reason why he turned around and recalled the Iron King and the King of Suo, in addition to the reason that King Suo said, there is another reason-
"Then master, you said that this one-thorn iron king is very powerful, then it would be good for him to take the one-thorn iron king, why did he take you? Master, don't you only know how to pick locks? Ergou asked again, and the lock king slapped his brain with a grunt.
"You stupid dog, he has been there once, and he came back to find the Iron King of the Thorn, proving that there is a danger there, and he needs the help of the Iron King of the Thorn, and he found me again, which means that there are some difficulties there, and only your master and I can solve them, otherwise how could he go to the Iron King of the Thorn first, and then let the Iron King of the Thorn come to threaten me?"
But what kind of method did this kid use to invite the one-thorn iron king who had already washed his hands? Money is the most useless thing for people who insist on washing their hands in a golden basin and living in peace, and the Iron King is a lone ranger, and his parents and relatives are dead, and it is impossible to threaten him with a child or something?
If it is considered from the perspective of life safety, this one-thorn iron king is alone in the world, and the people in the world who can walk a few steps in his hands still dare to threaten him, it is simply too long, so, what is the method?
However, this is enough to prove that this kid is not simple, although I have not heard of his name, but just from the fact that he can afford to invite the Iron King of the Lone Thorn, this kid must be unfathomable.
And this kid is also very smart, knowing that when he comes to invite himself at first glance, he will definitely not agree, and he will blow him away, so he went to invite the Iron King of the Lone Thorn first, and then himself.
"Master, is this Iron King of the One Thorn very powerful?"
"It's amazing." King Suo whispered, "Do you remember that the master told you before that in the Plum Blossom Temple, the group looked like monks, but in fact, they were fake monks who dug graves and dug graves behind their backs?" There are many of those monks, there are more than 200 of them, each of them is a practitioner, but they are so good that they don't die, and they actually took a bead on the tomb circled by the Iron King of the Duthorn, and there is no longer a plum blossom temple on the road. ”
"Then master, how do you compare with him?"
"You shit bum-" King Lock snorted at him, "He's fighting, I'm lockpicking, interlaced like mountains, how do you compare?" What to compare? Is it to compare him to pick the lock, or to compare who has more strength than him, aren't you talking nonsense? ”
The two of them were rushed by the lock king, hung their heads in a huff, and said nothing, and the original noise of the boat was much quieter.
The boat goes to the opposite end for about two or three miles, the mountains on both sides of the bank are getting smaller, no longer standing on the peaks, the mountains are already relatively flat, and the river is much milder.
There is no fog on the mountain, although the sunset is appropriate, the climate is still dry, the sky is clear and clear, every mountain is as real as gilding, the oars float on the lake, the fishing boats sing late, the water and the sky are the same color, the glow is warm, and the years are quiet.
"The lake on the shore is strange, and the mountains and rivers are suitable. I don't know if I am enjoying the picture of West Lake at this time, or if I have become a scene in someone else's painting.
However, the West Lake is full of poetry, the hull of the ship is slightly shaking, and you can see the twilight when you look up.
Meili Snow Mountain, is located in the east of Chayu County, Tibet, and Yunnan Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Deqin County in the west of Yunling Township, a huge north-south direction of the snow mountain group, it is called Kawagebo Snow Mountain in Tibetan areas, the word "Meili" is the Chinese translation of Deqin Tibetan mainri, which means medicine mountain, because it is rich in various precious medicinal materials and is named. At the same time, it is also the holy place of Yongzhong Bon, and Kailash in Tibet, Anima Qing Mountain in Qinghai, and Gaduo Juewo in Qinghai are known as the four sacred mountains of Tibetan Buddhism.
Because its geographical location is in the eastern part of Chayu County in Tibet and the western part of Deqin County in Yunnan Province, several people want to go to Nameili Snow Mountain, and they must first go to Tibet.
During the Songtsen Gampo period, it is said that Kawagebo was once a local demon mountain that did all kinds of evil, and the tantric patriarch Guru Padmasambhava went through eight tribulations to drive away all kinds of suffering, and finally subdued the god of Kawagebo. Since then, he has been ordained by laymen, reformed and turned to righteousness, converted to Buddhism, and became a fierce god under the command of Gesar, the son of a thousand Buddhas, and also became the patron saint of Gesar, the son of a thousand Buddhas. Kawagebo is the first of the eight sacred mountains, and leads the other seven sacred mountains, 225 middle sacred mountains, and various small mountain gods, maintaining the harmony and tranquility of nature.
The Tibetans believe that the mountain gods of each high mountain in the Meili Snow Mountains rule over one part of nature, and Kawagebo rules over the whole of nature. At the foot of Kawagebo, you can't talk about the beauty of all the subtleties, because any verbal praise for the beauty of any imperfection that comes from nature is only a very small part of the whole of nature that is ruled by the god Kawagebo, and these are disrespectful to the god of Kawagebo, and to the vast and harmonious nature.
When the five of them stepped on the Sichuan-Tibet line and came to the front of the Tibetan Yixi Tsering, the Yixi Tsering opened a pair of black eyes, looked at Li Reform, and the plateau red face accumulated over the years, suddenly showed incredible, "You are really here, you are really back?!!! ”
The eldest dog and the second dog whispered, "What the master said is right, this kid has really been here." ”
