Yan Xiding was very concerned about Lan Shaofang, and also asked, "Are you uncomfortable in your chest?" Is it painful or stuffy? Still out of breath? ”

"No, no, I'm not bored." Lan Shaofang is not good at describing and is a little anxious.

Yan Xi'an asked, "That's ...... Aren't you happy?"

Lan Shaofang nodded: "Xi'an, I'm not happy, what should I do?" ”

Yan Xi'an pursed his lips and smiled, "Why?" Wasn't it okay just now? Why are you suddenly upset? ”

"I don't know." Lan Shaofang shook her head and said, "I'm not happy when I get here. ”

Lu Yu said: "Could it be because Shaofang came here a long time ago and met something here?" ”

Yan Xi'an said: "It's very likely, but Shaofang must not be able to remember it." ”

"I can't remember." Lan Shaofang shook her head and whispered again: "I'm fine, let's find a place to rest." ”

"Shaofang, are you really okay?" Lu Yu looked around, this was an extremely ordinary forest, and it didn't seem to have the slightest speciality.

Lan Shaofang smiled and said, "I'm really fine, don't worry about me." ”

Lu Yu asked, "Then let's rest here?" Or go downstream? ”

"Here it is." Lan Shaofang paused, and suddenly said, "This river doesn't seem to be long." ”

"Not long? Is it almost the end? ”

Lan Shaofang nodded: "Yes, it seems to be coming to an end." She thought about it.

Lu Yu and the three of them looked at each other, they were all curious, and Yan Xi'an asked, "Shao Fang, how old are you...... Walked from home? How do you remember so much? ”

"I don't remember, I don't remember walking from home, but I remember here, I remember a little bit." Lan Shaofang lowered her head, looked at her feet, and didn't know what she was thinking.

"It's okay, if you can't think of it, you don't want to." Yan Xiding was most concerned about Lan Shaofang, he said: "Anyway, this river is almost at the end, and we can know where this river is in the afternoon." Hehe, it's a little exciting to think about. ”

Because there are no dragon crocodiles in this section of the river, there are fish in the river, and Lu Yu easily got a few of them. As for why there is no dragon crocodile here, and there will be a section upstream, several people can't figure it out. Maybe it's because that section of the river is special, which is more suitable for the survival of dragon crocodiles.

When grilling fish and eating fish, Lan Shaofang always seemed sullen, didn't talk much, and didn't eat much. Yan Xi'an comforted her a few words, and the sorrow on her face eased slightly.

After eating, Lu Yu checked the wooden raft, and the wooden raft was still very strong, and the animal tendons were tied, which was stable. The four of them got on the wooden raft, and Lu Yu spared no effort to support the penny, wanting to quickly hold on to the end of the lower reaches of the river.

At this time, the four of them had no leisure to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the strait, of course, the two sides of the strait were dry yellow and not green, and there was no scenery to see. Lu Yu was concentrating on rowing the boat, and didn't speak much, while the other three people also looked preoccupied, and they didn't have a match.

I don't know how many miles I rowed, the river gradually narrowed, and the mountain walls on both sides were higher and steeper, this river basin was a bit like the section further upstream (the section where Lu Yu had just discovered this river), the water was turbulent, and the cliffs were towering. This section of the river is narrower, but fortunately, the river drop is not large, although the current is rapid, but it will not shake the wooden raft from east to west, not to mention that there is Lu Yu at the helm, the wooden raft will drive faster in the rapids.

This section of the rapid, narrow river is about fifteen or sixteen miles long, and after this fifteen or sixteen miles, the wooden raft burrows into a canyon.

The high mountains on both sides of the canyon are hundreds of zhang high, the peaks and rocks are steep, the mountain cliffs are forested, the canyon peaks, the two high mountains standing opposite each other, it seems that the mountain heads are relatively inclined, and they are almost going to meet together. Therefore, the section of the river at the bottom of the cliff is completely blocked from the sunlight and looks a little gloomy.

Driving here, Lan Shaofang suddenly stood up and said softly: "I also remember here, it's not good here." ”

"Revisiting the old land", Lan Shaofang obviously vaguely remembered something, and it seemed to be a bad thing. Yan Xiding hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Do you think what happened here? ”

"I can't remember." Lan Shaofang shook her head gloomily and said, "I can't think of anything, it's just a little bit ......" She couldn't accurately describe the feeling in her heart.

Lu Yu said: "It's okay, don't force yourself to think about it, this canyon is not very long, we can pass it soon." "Lan Shaofang seems to be a little uncomfortable here. In fact, Lu Yu doesn't like this kind of dark and gloomy place, and it seems that there will always be some danger hidden in a place that can't be seen, and he will wait for an opportunity to attack at any time.

So Lu Yu used a spell, and the wooden raft drove a little faster, and the mountain walls on both sides quickly retreated, and the stones and shrubs on the mountain walls were a little blurry in their eyes.

Soon, Lu Yu propped up the wooden raft to draw out the canyon, and the vision brightened again. The river is still the same as before, with rolling hills and dense but lifeless forests on both sides.

Lan Shaofang sat down again, Yan Xi sat beside her, and said: "This Yangshan is so big, it's so big, any river in it is hundreds of miles long. ”

"Hundreds of miles? I'm afraid it's more than that. "In the past two days, the four of them have traveled more than 300 miles on a wooden raft, which is still one of the sections of the Wudu River. The upstream source is far away, and the downstream end seems to be approaching, but it is still not visible, at least dozens of miles away.

Yan Xi'an said: "Yangshan is so big, so there will always be some strange things in it, which we haven't seen before." ”

Yan Xiding said: "Yes, such as dragon crocodile." ”

Yan Xi'an said: "Maybe I'm wrong. ”

Yan Xi'an suddenly said, "It's my own mistake", and the other three people felt inexplicable, so Yan Xiding asked, "What's wrong with you?" What went wrong? ”

"It's not that I made any mistakes, it's that I shouldn't have forced my uncle to kill the dragon crocodile this morning." After a pause, Yan Xi'an said quietly: "I think that for this Yangshan, the dragon crocodile is the same as us, and all the creatures in the mountain, we have no reason to deliberately kill all the dragon crocodiles, and not all of them went to the village to harm people." ”

Yan Xiding was a little puzzled and said, "Is this this?" I don't quite understand this truth, why are we the same as dragon crocodiles? ”

"Of course." Lu Yu smiled, he was very happy that Yanxi Anhui suddenly had such an awareness, he said: "Flowers and trees, birds and animals, insects, fish, snakes, and pigs, all these creatures live in Yangshan, and they are part of Yangshan. Since they can survive, there will always be a reason for them to survive. Even though we are cultivators, even if we have that ability, there is no reason to exterminate all of our souls. He turned his head to Yan Xi'an and said, "Xi'an is very remarkable, I suddenly understood the truth of 'all beings are equal', has your recent cultivation increased a little?" ”

Yan Xi'an's face flushed, and she smiled: "I don't know yet, besides, what you said about 'equality of all beings', I just figured it out." ”

Lu Yu nodded: "That's good, it's rare." ”

Yan Xiding didn't agree with Lu Yu's opinion, he said: "Brother Da Yu, if you think that 'all beings are really equal' in this world, then we still eat fish and meat, isn't it unequal?" ”

Lu Yu smiled and said, "When I say that all beings are equal, it doesn't mean that you can't eat fish and meat. For pig-like chickens and cows, being eaten by others is their fate, just like the grass, grain, and other things that they eat, which are all fateful and difficult to escape. Even if we are human, although we are rarely eaten by jackals, tigers and leopards, we will have all kinds of natural and man-made disasters, birth, old age, sickness and death, that is also where human life lies. But this is not to say that all beings are not equal, and the existence of each life has its own meaning. ”

Yan Xiding still didn't quite understand, and Lan Shaofang was even more confused. Seeing that the two of them looked puzzled, Lu Yu said again: "Okay, you continue to practice, and one day you will understand this truth." Anyway, you remember, if this dragon crocodile really shouldn't live in this world, then they will naturally die one day, but it shouldn't be us who let them die? ”

"Who could that be?"

I had something to do today, I came back late, and I almost didn't get better.
