Chapter 4 The White Crane Cliff Passes Through the Bamboo Forest
Yan Bugui got into the carriage and entered the carriage, but he couldn't help frowning! But it turned out that this small carriage, which could only seat a maximum of 10 people, was loaded with more than 20 children today. Even if the child is small, but there are many people, the space is naturally crowded, and the smell can't be exuded at all, and there must be a peculiar smell.
Yan Bugui cleverly shrunk his thin body into the innermost corner of the carriage, but he didn't forget to squint and secretly look at the other children in the car.
In the middle of the carriage, a young man in brocade clothes who was surrounded by most of the other children was called Bai Song, twelve and a half years old this year, big, fat and dundun, obviously exceeding the specified number of years, but he had something to do with a person in power in the White Crane Cliff, and age was naturally not a problem. Bai Song's family is a martial arts family, the family is wealthy, since childhood every day to practice, even if reluctant to work hard, but after all, it is also a good practice every day has a foundation of 10 years, and then there are more to see and know some fist and foot kung fu, so no matter age, body or skills, it is a trip ahead of other partners, such as dealing with children like Yan Bugui who have never practiced martial arts, 3 or 2 are not a problem.
Obviously, a family like Bai Song, who is rich and powerful, can work a few hands, and is big, naturally quickly became the "big brother" of the children in the car.
As for this group, most of them are children who grew up in towns, and there are only four people from poor rural areas like Yan Bugui, whose family is dependent on the mountains and water, and they are all afraid to speak loudly, huddled in the corner just to watch others laugh, which is in stark contrast to the children who make loud noises from time to time.
The carriage galloped westward, went to several places on the way, picked up a few children, and finally arrived at Longwei Mountain, where the headquarters of Baiheya was located, in the evening of the eighth day.
When all the children got off the bus, they were shocked by the momentum of Longwei Mountain, only to see the mountain full of pines and cypresses, and the high peaks were full of white clouds, which was very beautiful and magnificent. These children watched the rise of the rise, and it was not until the urging of the Dharma Protector that everyone came to their senses and continued to move forward.
Longwei Mountain is the largest mountain in Mizhou, according to legend, it is the true dragon's tail, and the mountains of this mountain are located within a radius of 30 miles. This mountain has more than ten large and small peaks, and most of them are very dangerous, so all of them are occupied by various branches of Baihe Cliff. The scenery of the main peak of Longwei Mountain, "Chaoxia Peak", is even more charming, and it is a flavor to see Chaoxia there. Chaoxia Peak is extremely treacherous, cliffs abound, the most important thing is that there is only one way to go from the bottom of the mountain to the peak, after the White Crane Cliff sets up the main hall here, and in the dangerous places along the way, eighteen bright or dark checkpoints are set up one after another, it is really difficult to open a husband when a man is a pass.
Yan Bugui looked at his surroundings while walking, and the people in front of him walked forward with the flow of people, and the ** he met along the way were all wearing green clothes, and the left chest of the clothes was also embroidered with the same winged white crane as the Wang Protector. All of them carried knives and swords, and occasionally one or two bare-handed people also had pockets bulging around their waists, and these people were agile and agile, and secretly speculated that they should have all the kung fu in their bodies. Thinking that he would be a good kung fu in the future, Yan Bugui's emotions couldn't help but rise.
Yan Bugui thought about it, but suddenly a bold voice came from the front: "Brother Wang, are you back?" ”
"Hall Master Yue, there has been a delay on the road, and you are bothered. The Wang Protector changed his arrogance on the road, respectfully bowed to an old man in a purple robe, and responded flatteringly.
"En!" The hall master glanced at the group of children a few times: "Send them to the guest house, let them have a good rest, and start the selection early tomorrow morning." ”
"Yes, Hall Master Yue. ”
The Protector of the King led the way, greeting from time to time to those who came from the opposite side. From this, it can be seen that he has many acquaintances in the door and a wide network.
Yan Bugui and the others were taken to a mountain peak, but they saw that the top of the mountain was flat and there were two rows of earthen houses, where Yan Bugui and the others were arranged to stay overnight. These days, they are all curled up in the carriage, and it is rare to have a good rest, and everyone has entered the gentle township to see Zhou Gong as soon as they lie down.
After waking up in the morning, the Protector Wang did not let everyone have breakfast, but took everyone directly to the slope of a bamboo forest at the bottom of the mountain. There were five other groups of children, all of whom were thirty or forty people. There were also Hall Master Yue and some other young people in their 20s who were already waiting there.
Hall Master Yue pressed his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then announced: "Listen, everyone, today's selection is from the bamboo forest path behind me to Lu Shang, passing through the bamboo forest, then the grass slope, then the rock wall section, the most Lu is a mountain cliff called Ghost Sorrow, only those who can go to the top of the cliff can enter our White Crane Cliff to become an inner disciple, if you can't reach it before noon, although you can't become a formal disciple, but if you have a commendable performance, you can also be a registered disciple." In addition, if you are in a dangerous area on the way or you can't continue, you can tell the nearby senior brother to give up, and someone will put you in a safe place. ”
Yan Bugui didn't understand the meaning of "registered disciple", he just thought that he had to go forward anyway and climb to the top of the mountain!
Yan Bugui looked at the others, everyone was righteous, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Yan Bugui didn't want to lose to his peers, so he was naturally secretly stunned in his heart, and he would definitely do his best to kill on the top of the mountain.
The sun is beginning to rise, and the morning glow is very beautiful. Hall Master Yue looked at the sunrise and said, "It's almost time, let's go! Don't be afraid, there are senior brothers who will protect you, and you won't be in any danger." ”
Then everyone is scrambling to run forward, Yan Bugui and his friends have been running all over the mountain since childhood, since they are light and flexible, they are far ahead of the curve all the way. But Yan Bugui still knows that Bai Song and a few tall guys must have run away in front of him, and there is no shadow.
When the bamboo forest was coming to an end, Yan Bugui still couldn't keep up with his physical strength after all, and he was a little out of breath. However, every time Yan Bugui passed by with bamboo, he also reached out and pulled himself forward, so that it felt much more labor-saving, and at the same time, taking advantage of the rest time can also be said to adjust himself.
There was a small spring on the slope at the end of the bamboo forest, and although the water was not visible at the bottom of the hillside, it was clearly absorbed by the hillside. Yan Bugui was childlike, stepped forward and took a handful of water to drink, it was very sweet, and unconsciously took another handful to drink. At the end, I washed my face, and I felt refreshed, and most of my previous labor was gone.
In fact, this is the so-called rational conditioning of the body, and the combination of work and rest is more than labor. But how could the other children understand this truth, they only knew that they rushed forward. Even if Bai Song and the others in front of them passed by and saw this spring, even if they were a little thirsty and wanted to drink water, they must have endured it because they were worried about delaying time. In fact, they couldn't imagine that the delay of this breath in this half day could be completely ignored, but the effect of taking a short break and drinking some water was very different.
I think it's also the morning when everyone just opened their eyes to participate in this test, not to mention eating breakfast without a drop of water. This arduous work of climbing up the hill, not to mention climbing to the top of the ghostly mountain, even if you can persist until noon and climb halfway, it is good.
