The mountaineering festival, of course, is for mountain climbing. Therefore, the sedan chairs, carriages, horses, donkeys and other means of transportation taken by tourists are all parked at the foot of the mountain, and they are specially guarded. And everyone went into battle lightly to experience the fun of climbing the mountain.

Although the mountain was not high, Yan Yue climbed a little out of breath. It's no wonder that Yan Yue's body in the 21st century is very good, but when she travels to this Darong Dynasty, the owner of the body she uses is very weak, and she has been riddled with things these days, and Yan Yue has neglected to exercise. This small Darong Mountain is said to be less than 400 meters above sea level, but Yan Yue has only climbed half of it but has no strength.

When Yan Yue had no strength, the first person to compare with was Rong Shengren, after all, that guy had a fat head and big ears and a big belly, so it stands to reason that he should be the first to crawl. But at a glance, although Comrade Rong Shengren was sweaty, he was full of energy, and he didn't look tired at all. Yan Yue's second person to compare with is Murong Yan, thinking that he is an emperor who is pampered all day long, the palace is so big, he has to sit in a sedan chair from one palace to another, he shouldn't be able to climb the mountain. But at a glance, Murong Yan's face was calm, as if he was walking on flat ground. This is true for both of them, let alone the others.

Yan Yue tried hard to hold on for a while, only to feel that her chest was really breathless, the sweat on her face confused her eyes, and she could barely keep up at first, but then the sweat became more and more, stinging her eyes, and finally every time she rubbed her eyes, even tears poured out. Later, there was a strange scene on the mountainside, where a young man dressed as a scholar stood there crying aggrievedly, and around her, there stood a circle of old men with strange faces.

"Kid, what's wrong with you? What have you been wronged by? An old lady's kind voice sounded in Yan Yue's ears. Everyone was dumbfounded for a while, and Yan Yue over there finally wiped away her tears and tried to open her eyes.

An old lady standing in front of Yan Yue, with a blue blouse and black pants, her age was at least 70 years old, but her waist was very straight. Silver hair, wrinkled face, drooping eyelids make the eyes squint slightly. At this time, she stared at Yan Yue up and down with her mouth half-open, and from Yan Yue's angle, she just saw that there were not a few teeth left in her mouth.

"I'm not wronged, it's me...... Grandma, did you climb the mountain on your own? Yan Yue didn't say anything about her can't climb after all, and there is no sedan chair behind the old lady, let alone any support, everyone can climb to this time, and she is so tired that she cries, this is to say, Yan Yue herself feels ashamed.

"Yes, kid, you can't go, can you? Or, my old lady will hold you! The old lady's caring tone was so thunderous that Yan Yue had the urge to vomit blood, if she was an eighteen-year-old person and let the eighty-year-old lady hold her, wouldn't it make everyone laugh and lose their big teeth. If the grandfather of the 21st century knew about this, he might try to travel to this time and space to punish himself.

"Grandma, I'm definitely not tired, I can climb the mountain. Grandma, if you're tired, I'll help you! Yan Yue's face was full of smiles, and this remark only made Murong Yan and the others laugh. But what is called heaven is forgivable, and self-inflicted sins cannot be lived, Yan Yue quickly experienced it. Because the kind old woman said something that made Yan Yue want to touch the wall, she said, "Okay, child, you can help me, the old lady, up the mountain." ”

This time, Yan Yue is words spilled water, and it is impossible to take it back. Yan Yue never thought that her casual and polite words would be accepted by the old lady, so that Yan Yue opened her mouth wide and was stunned for a long time without speaking. Everyone in the audience wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and they all twisted their faces to the side, all of them paying attention to Yan Yue's next step with oblique light.

Yan Yue really wants to cry without tears, a typical self-digging trap. At this moment, even if there are thousands of unwilling, Yan Yue can only bite the bullet! Yan Yue squeezed out a smile that was even uglier than crying and said, "Grandma, let's go!" ”

The onlookers scattered like birds this time, and Yan Yue helped the old lady to climb up the winding path step by step. Fortunately, after a delay of some time just now, Yan Yue was much more relaxed this time. And the old lady said to let Yan Yue support, but in the actual climbing process, Yan Yue was not tired at all. On the contrary, the old lady was quite talkative, and in the face of the mountain of maple trees, she told a touching story.

Legend has it that this red maple was originally an amorous girl. One year, a young man walked under her tree. The man was born handsome, and at that moment, he attracted the obsessive gaze of Maple, and at that moment, she found the direction of her life. When the man left, she prayed to the gods almost every day, that the Almighty God would give her a human body, and that the Almighty God would fulfill her love. Finally, one day, the gods heard her prayers, and on a starry night, the gods appeared under the maple trees. At the begging of the maple tree, God promised to give her 500 years of life in exchange for five days for her to take on human form and spend time with the man. So she turned into a woman with star-like eyes and a beautiful appearance like the moon, dressed in red, and came to the man's side. Although five days is short, they love their bones deeply, and they are unwilling to be separated every minute. When the fifth day came, they decided to live and die. Before the fifth day was over, the two drank the wine of martyrdom. Later, their love touched the gods, and since then there has been a pair of affectionate red maples on the mountain, and the fiery red leaves symbolize their fiery love.

The old lady said slowly, Yan Yue listened carefully, which made Yan Yue forget the hard work of mountaineering, and unconsciously climbed to the top of the mountain.

The top of the hill was much more lively than the top of the mountain, and a tall temple was crowded with people, and the long line turned in a circle with hundreds of people. Outside the temple, there are seven or eight sheds, and under each shed there are waiting visitors. Tea and food are also served in the shed. The people inside were not in a hurry, eating, drinking, chatting, and waiting. Anyway, everyone has a common purpose, which is to buy a bowl of spiritual spring water to keep them healthy and safe in the coming year.

"Grandma, let's go to the side and rest, let's come back when we're ready!" Yan Yue greeted warmly. I am really grateful to this old lady in my heart, if it weren't for this old lady, Yan Yue would probably still be swaying halfway up the mountain at this time. It was the old lady who gave Yan Yue the strength to climb the mountain. And the so-called immediate arrival is peace, Murong Yan and his party came to the mountain, of course, they had to wait here to buy some water to drink. So Yan Yue warmly greeted the lonely old lady with her.

"No, old lady, I am the one who burns the fire in this temple, and I have been used to climbing up and down for so many years. You're waiting to drink the spring water, a little girl like you, after drinking it, you will definitely find a satisfactory husband. The old lady said with a smile, waving goodbye to Yan Yue. Yan Yue was originally curious about why this old lady was so strong, and she was also answered at this moment. It's just that when this old lady saw that she was a little girl, Yan Yue didn't know.

Just witnessing the old lady's departure, Yan Yue suddenly felt that this old lady's life must be very interesting. She must be a person who believes in love, otherwise she would not have told such a beautiful story. And she must have gained a happy love, otherwise she would not have such a mentality at such an old age.

Drink the spiritual spring water! Be sure to drink the spring water! And Murong Yan must also drink this spiritual spring water, so that the gods will bless their love! Yan Yue thought about it, only feeling that the sky was so high, the temple was so **, the air was so fresh, and the mood was so pleasant! The gods have given themselves a second chance to survive, so they must firmly grasp this rare happiness!

At that moment, Murong Yan and his entourage had already sat down under a shed, and Yan Yue only found out that there was still Xuanyuan Yaohui in this shed at this time. Feelings, he has already come up to play the vanguard. Fortunately, there is this arrangement, otherwise so many people really don't know which shed to squeeze into. As soon as everyone sat down, the simmered fresh tea was served, with the best walnut crisp, almond crisp, sesame crisp, peanut crisp and so on. Sitting and eating and drinking like this, enjoying the scenery in front of you, it is really indescribably elegant and happy.

After sitting down for a long time, Yan Yue found that there was not only one more Xuanyuan Yaohui in this crowd, but also one more stranger, a man in his twenties, with a chubby face and a chubby figure, which was simply a miniature version of Rong Shengren. It's just that Yan Yue didn't have to be confused for long before she was relieved. The man in front of him is a capable person recommended by Rong Shengren. It's just that because of this person's experience, it's a bit unbelievable, and it's not appropriate to ask in the court, so Murong Yan asked Xuanyuan Yaohui to take this person to the mountain.

This person's name is Yang Zifang, and it is said that when he was making the county order, a fire suddenly broke out in the county one day, and the fire was large and the situation was very dangerous. Just when everyone was panicking, Yang Zifang knelt down in front of the raging fire, and then kowtowed respectfully. And what happened next was even more stunning, the fire was gradually extinguished. And the second thing is that not long after Yang Zifang was promoted to Taishou, the tigers under his rule actually crossed the river with their cubs on their backs for some reason.

Therefore, Yang Zifang got eight words in the folk. It is said that he is "sincere heaven and earth, benevolent and beast". In a word, it means that Yang Zifang has the blessing of benevolence, and he has such a reputation, which is why Rong Shengren recommended him.

"What the hell did you do to make things like the fire go out and the tiger cross the river happen." Murong Yan asked with a frown. Everyone held their breath and waited for an answer, only the corners of Yan Yue's lips were slightly pursed, Yan Yue would never believe such a legend, and it reminded Yan Yue of the two words commonly used in the 21st century, "hype". Yan Yue has therefore defined this chubby young man in her heart, a man who uses hype to climb up. And then, Yan Yue wanted to hear what this person would say, and if possible, Yan Yue wanted to kindly expose his lies. also frustrated the spirit of that Rong Shengren, it is said that after he came out, he almost became Murong Yan's favorite, and almost all of his suggestions were adopted by Murong Yan.

The crowd waited with bated breath for the young man's answer. After a long, long time, the man finally spoke, his demeanor was very honest, his tone was very simple, but he just said lightly: "Back to the master, it's just a coincidence." ””

Everyone wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh out loud, only Murong Yan stared at Yang Zifang in surprise for a long time before he breathed a long sigh of relief and spit out: "Rong Aiqing is really wise and knowledgeable, and her recommendation is meritorious!" ”

"It is God who blesses our dynasty, and the emperor's benevolence attracts virtuous ministers." Rong Shengren's face did not have any pride or joy, and he was still as calm as ever. Yan Yue only felt a trace of inappropriateness, but she didn't know where to say. At this time, the spiritual spring water had arrived, and Yan Yue's attention quickly shifted elsewhere.
