Chapter 7: A Love Story
"If you want to get there today, you have to get there before dark." Kuroko said.
I squinted at the sun, "Wouldn't it be too late for us to go down and up again?" ”
Xiu'er happily flipped up the book that looked like a travel guide, and suddenly said happily, "You see, there is an introduction here, there is a road between the two mountains, there is no need to go down the mountain and go up the mountain, if we are faster, there should be enough time." ”
Kuroko glanced at it, "In that case, let's go." ”
As the three of them walked forward, I noticed that the wave of tomb robbers had also begun to move forward under the guidance of the feng shui master, and it seemed to be different from our destination if they were walking in the same direction as they were walking. That's fine, as long as you don't run into it again, the likelihood of trouble is much smaller.
Somehow, I always felt in my heart that this trip would not be so easy.
The sun moved slowly, almost above the heads of several of us, and the heavy hiking bag was pressed on our backs, and after a while, the sweat soaked our clothes, and it seemed that we could see the heat on everyone's heads. There are few people on the top of the mountain, and people who want to travel and exercise normally will not run up like us. Then, when we started to descend from the top of the mountain into the road connecting the two mountains, there were only three of us in the middle of nowhere.
However, if you look carefully to the left and right, you can still see a few teams of seven or eight people, shuttling forward a little lower.
Kuroko looked at those people, "This time it's interesting, it seems that all the teams that came to rob the tomb only knew that there was a treasure here, but they didn't know the specific location." ”
I was so tired that I couldn't breathe, and I didn't have the strength to answer him, and I just wanted to find a cool tree to drink and eat.
Xiu'er's state is slightly better than mine, but it shouldn't last long, Kuroko saw me in such a state, and hurriedly stopped, "The next road is not far, take a break and eat something to replenish your strength." ”
Food and water are the most precious things in such an underdeveloped mountain, so on this trip, they were the ones that were most packed in their respective hiking bags, but at this moment, I was tired and my shoulders were sore, but I wanted to throw them all away and travel lightly.
Xiu'er found a piece of ground at random, leaned on the bare mountain behind her, raised her arm and wiped the sweat on her face with her sleeve, and then drank water and ate bread in a big gulp, but her eyes looked at the unknown place through the thick tree trunks in front of her that were hundreds of years old, and only after a little smoothing out her breath did she speak, "I saw another landscape, where the huge stone on the steep peak looked like a monkey, and it was a monkey watching the sea." ”
I can't laugh or cry, this girl really thinks she's here to travel. Who knew that Kuroko seemed quite interested, catered to her and looked over, and said with a smile after a while, "It's really, quite vivid." Nature's work is truly remarkable. ”
"The book also records allusions and legends about this attraction, hey, it seems to be a romantic love story." Xiu'er lowered her head, couldn't take care of the bread in her hand, and read intently.
Kuroko looked at me with a smile, "Mosquito, don't think too much, unless Pang Qinghe's father is a flying thief who hides countless treasures somewhere on this place, the chance of us encountering those tomb robbers will be very low." I finally came here, so I made Xiu'er happy, isn't it good to think of it as a trip? ”
Hey, it's really rare for Kuroko to see so much, could it be that ten days of rural life have made his mood change so much? He used to be serious and calm, and he would behave so easily.
But that's fine, I also felt that I was a little too worried, so I opened my mouth and said to Xiu'er, "I just have to rest for a while, you tell me what that story is, and then set off on the road." ”
Xiu'er nodded happily when she heard this, cleared her throat and said, "Monkey watching the sea is also called monkey looking at peace, why do monkeys want to look at peace?" There is a story in this: the original Taiping County is called Xianyuan Village, and there is a scholarly family named Zhao Delong in the village. The daughter's name is Zhangzhu, and she was born smart and beautiful. Not far from Xianyuan Village, there is a cave in the depths of the Beihai Sea in Huangshan Mountain, where there is a spirit monkey who has cultivated in the mountains for 3,600 years and will change thirty-six times. One day, the spirit monkey saw that the palm beads were handsome, and suddenly fell in love. The spirit monkey turned into a white-faced scholar, claiming to be Sun Junwu, the prince of Sun Guangwen, the owner of Huangshanzhai, who came to Zhao's house in the evening and asked to spend the night on the grounds that it was late. When the old couple of the Zhao family saw that he was handsome, richly dressed, and polite, they believed it and happily left him to stay and set up a banquet to entertain him. After drinking three glasses of wine, Sun Gongzi stated to the old couple his admiration for Zhangzhu, begged to be accepted as a son-in-law, and swore to serve the second elder for a long time. When the old couple heard these sweet words, their hearts were very happy. After discussing with his daughter, Zhangzhu was also eight points early in his grandson's talent. Early the next morning, the old couple replied to Sun Gongzi's words. Sun Gongzi was overjoyed when he heard this, and almost revealed his true form. The spirit monkey returned to the cave, missed the palm beads, and hurriedly turned the big and small monkeys into people, forming a mighty team to go to the Xianyuan Zhao family to welcome relatives. The palm beads were carried to the cave, and I saw that the furnishings were rich and the guests were full. The banquet dispersed late at night, and Sun Gongzi was hugged into the cave room by the guests. When he woke up, Zhangzhu was surprised to find that Sun Gongzi had grown a body of fluff. It turned out that Sun Gongzi was drunk and showed the original form of a monkey. Zhangzhu was very angry, and took the opportunity of the spirit monkey to get drunk and asleep, and fled outside, and went straight to his home. After the spirit monkey woke up, he knew that he had revealed his original form, and fled the palm beads, so he drank and ordered the monkeys to go out of the cave to look for them, and chased them to the Furong Ridge at the bottom of the mountain, and there was no shadow of the bride. Since the spirit monkey lost the palm bead, he thought about it for a long time, but there was no magic method to think of, so he had to climb the hanging rock behind the cave every day, sit on the stone, and look blankly at Xianyuan Village in Taiping County in the northeast. After a long time, it has become the stone scenery of Huangshan today. ”
"It's really interesting, okay, it's time for us to go. Hey. I stood up and looked ahead, "Why is it foggy all of a sudden?" ”
Kuroko glanced up at the sky, the dazzling sun was hanging high, "The fog in the mountains and forests indicates that the water vapor is strong, and there may be a rain next." "Rain? Once it rains on the peaks of such high waves, it is not a joke, it will cause the road to be more slippery, and the heavy will cause mud and rocks to slide, everyone realizes this situation, immediately picks up their bags, pulls their legs and runs forward, who knows that after running for a while, the fog around the body rises suddenly, and the layers are permeated, and the thick half point can not see which side is the mountain, which side is the abyss, let alone know which direction is the front.
