Chapter Seventy-Eight: Zizhu River
Shennong Valley and Shennong Ding echo each other from afar, one high and one low, this is the masterpiece of the earth's crustal movement, protruding to form a high mountain range, and the gap between the ridges becomes a valley. The mountains are towering and the clouds are high, and the valleys are close to the abyss.
At this time, the weather is gloomy, the clouds and mist in the valley are diffuse, extremely mysterious, give people the impulse to go down to the bottom of the valley to find out, stand at the mouth of the valley and look around, but see the mountains rise and fall, ten thousand thousand trees stand up, the strange stones are craggy, like pillars and bamboo shoots, the scenery is quite spectacular.
Lao Li Tou pointed to the edge of the valley and said: "This is the way down the valley, compared to the Shennong Valley walking plank road, it is much faster here." "But look at the road down the valley, it is like a giant dragon hovering between the cliffs and mountains, nine twists and loops, winding the valley, endless.
Lao Li Tou urged a few people again: "Hurry up and pack up your things and go down to the valley, and rush to Luanying Village before dark, otherwise you can only risk your life to take the sky as a quilt and the ground as a bed." ”
The car couldn't move forward, so Brother Kan drove it to a hidden mountain, and the four of them were ready, carrying their respective bags of shaved potatoes, and Long Ziyan took out a piece of cloth wrapped in something and carried it on his back.
"Brother Zijing, what are you doing?"
"Little Dragon King, this can't be?"
Long Ziyan smiled and said, "That's right, it's the jade-handled bronze sword of Panlong Mountain." ”
Brother Kan, who was carrying a thick backpack again, said, "You're not too heavy, why don't you help me share some of it." ”
Long Ziyan shook his head and joked: "Don't, this is just right, otherwise it will become the last straw that crushes the mule." ”
"Alas," cried the purple kite, "I'll leave you at the mill." Purple Kite and Long Gang had already followed Lao Li Tou and started to go down the valley, and Long Zijing and the others quickly followed.
The green fir and bamboo trees between the rocks in the valley, the tenacious weeds that drill out of the rock crevices, and the trees swaying in the wind give infinite vitality to this deep canyon and the bare rocks in the valley.
However, these plants and trees grew wildly unscrupulously, and the original mountain trail was also ruthlessly buried, and Lao Li Tou, who was walking in the forefront, opened the way with a short sickle.
The more you go down the valley, the cooler the air, the cool mountain breeze blows in your face, you can't help but be a chill, the temperature at the foot of the mountain is two days, and it really responds to the sentence "the foot of the mountain is in midsummer and the top of the mountain is spring, and the foothills are bright in autumn and the top of the mountain is icy".
Although it took a while to cut down the weeds that blocked the road, it still saved a lot of time compared to walking on the plank road, and before reaching the bottom of the valley, the sound of the turbulent stream of the Zizhu River was already ringing in my ears.
It didn't take long for a group of people to go down the mountain path to Shennong Valley, the weather in the valley is thousands, the clouds and fog are around, and they are in it, they want to be immortals, and they are so uncomfortable. Raise your eyes and look at it, the mountains are standing, the ravines are deep, and the strange stones are numerous.
Around the valley, deep and dense, unfathomable. A cluster of stone pillars abruptly rising at the bottom of the valley, with different thicknesses and uneven heights, such as optimus jade pillars; If there is a pillar in the south sky, the strange rocks on the pillar are craggy, and the strange pines are entangled, and it is like Penglai Wonderland; Looking up at the clouds, the weather in the valley is changing rapidly, and the clouds and mist add infinite charm to the strange rocks in the valley, and it also makes people a little timid.
Lao Li pointed to the south and said: "Okay, we have gone down to the bottom of the valley, and we can reach the Zizhu River less than four hundred meters to the south, and then we will go southwest along the Zizhu River, and strive to arrive at Luanying Village before dark." ”
The purple kite asked Lao Li Tou carefully, "Are there any wild beasts here?" Or what other bugs lizard's? ”
Lao Li Tou said with a serious face: "This girl is right, it is forbidden to enter here, it is not a big deal to encounter any fierce beasts, it is better to pray that it is better not to meet wild people." ”
"Savages!" The four of them couldn't hide the fear on their faces.
Long Ziyan asked, "Old man, are there really savages in this valley?" Have you seen it? ”
"It can't be fake, it can't be fake." After the old man finished speaking, he beckoned the four of them to follow.
Brother Kan, who was confused and sweaty, complained: "What is this old man talking about? I would like to give you an accurate word. ”
"Don't complain about Brother Kan, it's too late to turn back."
"Who said I was going back, look at the joke! Brother Kan, what have I been afraid of, Hades didn't dare to accept it when he saw it, not to mention that it was a little savage. ”
"Hearing you say that, aren't you ready to clean up the savages?"
Brother Kan coughed twice and said: "For the sake of everyone's safety, it's better not to meet if you can, don't touch it, it's not good to hurt everyone by mistake." ”
Purple Kite couldn't listen to it and said, "Have you two finished talking, it's really enough, hurry up after talking,"
Under the leadership of Lao Li Tou, who was familiar with the road, the four of them walked to the Zizhu River Basin, which came from the mountains and was a river without too many marks and annotations, so it showed a simple, simple and natural beauty, just like a woman in the mountains without decoration.
The Zizhu River is about four meters wide, the water level is not deep, and the depth can only submerge the knees, the water is crystal clear, full of smooth stones washed by the current, left along the river, when you approach the Zizhu River, the surroundings are so quiet, the river meanders like a silver thread, it is shining, like snake scales, full of water, tenderness, clear waves, tactfully lingering.
Lao Li Tou explained: "This is the Zizhu River, the water of the Zizhu River is cold to the bone, and it will emit cold air like fog. ”
Hearing Lao Li Tou say this, the four of them suddenly felt that the air had become thin and cold, and if they were close to the river, they would be forced to breathe by the cold air emitted by it, burrowing into the blood vessels and penetrating into the bone marrow.
Several people moved to the shore, and Longgang asked, "Old man, this Zizhu River is so cold, does it originate from an underground river, or does the ice water from the top of the mountain melt gather here?" ”
The old man shook his head and said: "I don't know, I have been back and forth in this valley many times, I have never seen the source of the Zizhu River, and I have never thought that I have to see it, hurry up, we have to go upstream, since I have collected money for you to be a guide, I will tell you about the good treasure in this Shennong Valley along the way, and you can't come in vain, I'm afraid I won't be looking for my bad old man as a guide." ”
Brother Kan looked at it from the side and said: "Little Dragon King, this old guy really thinks that we are here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and he is so greedy for money, who will look for him as a guide." ”
Lao Li Tou led the four people to go upstream, it was the alternation of spring and summer, the river beside the nameless flowers, it is not an exaggeration to say, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple everything, after all, the layman looks at the lively, the insider looks at the doorway, and the road begins to show off the incomparably proud of his hometown and says: "Shennongjia is named after Shennong's taste of herbs, the reserves of Chinese herbal medicine here are very amazing, for example, you can pick up a small grass school flower on the side of the road may be a precious plant, the most legendary is the "four one", thirty-six return to the yang, Seventy-two-seven. ”
