The scenery of Mogan Mountain is charming, there are many scenic spots, and the heart-wrenching sword pond waterfall is just a few of them!

Xu Qian took out the dry food in his arms, chewed on his mouth, but chattered in his heart the poems that Liu Bowen gave him: "Day and day hang in the air, and sleep in the stream every night." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info bamboo green is a scabbard, gold frost shade. This 'hanging in the air day and day' should refer to the Xuanyuan sword hanging every day, and 'sleeping in the night and night stream' can be interpreted as the place where the sword is hidden is the edge of the mountain stream and the spring; this sentence 'bamboo green is the scabbard' is estimated to explain that the bamboo forest of Mogan Mountain is like a scabbard, protecting the Xuanyuan sword in it......" Thinking of this, he exclaimed: "That's right, as long as you find a place with a bamboo forest, you can find a place to hide the sword!" After the surprise, there was a sigh: "Hey! But what does this sentence 'golden frost shade' mean?" Could it really be that there is gold that covers the cold light of the sword? He didn't dare to slack off any longer, and hurriedly got on his horse and continued to move towards the mountain.

Xu Qianzong crossed the creek and passed through the dense forest, and there was a verdant bamboo sea in front of him. He said happily in his heart: "'Zhuqing is the scabbard', the bamboo forest is here, and the Xuanyuan Sword is not far from here!"

Xu Qianchi looked closely, the bamboo sea is not only dense, but also particularly thick, three or four zhang high, more than ten inches around, each of which is like a green and cool giant umbrella.

The bamboo forest was too dense for the horses to gallop into normally, so Xu Qianwei tied the horses to the bamboo, untied the steel knife from the saddle, and walked towards the depths of the bamboo forest.

The wind and waves were calm along the way, and I walked about a tea time, but I saw an old farmer in front of me holding a basket in one hand and a shovel in the other, burying his head and digging bamboo shoots. Xu Qian saw that it was getting dark and needed to find a family to borrow a night, and at the same time probe some rumors of the 'Xuanyuan Sword', so as to find relevant clues from it. Thinking about this section, he hurriedly took a step forward and arched his hand: "Old man, can you dare to ask about something?"

The farmer turned his head and saw that it was a young general wearing armor and carrying a steel knife, and he was shocked, and quickly turned around and knelt down and said, "The general forgives the sin, the villain does not dare!"

At that time, the Yuan court was corrupt, the Yuan Emperor was addicted to wine and ignored the government, and the royal family, the government, and local rich people paid heavy taxes and caused the people to live poorly. The peasants in various places revolted and rebelled, and for a time there were many feudal towns in the Central Plains, and there were countless generals, although some of the anti-Yuan righteous people sincerely eliminated violence for the people, but most of them were selfish, burning, killing and looting, and collecting money into their pockets, so that many people were frightened and did not dare to resist. Xu Qian knew the reason for this, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help the old man up and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, the young general is Xu Qian, a small soldier under the account of Zhu Dashuai in Jinling, Zhu Dashuai has always loved the people like a son, governed the army strictly, and never hurt the people." ”

The old peasant will be suspicious, but Zhu Yuanzhang's name is early, and he nodded and said: "I don't know what General Xu commands, if the villain can do it, he will never say anything?"

Xu Qian happily thanked him: "Then thank the old man first...", paused, and said, "I wonder if the old man lives near the mountains?"

The old farmer said: "General, the villain's family lives not far ahead, and the villain's grandfather has been in this Mogan Mountain since then. ”

Xu Qiandao: "The young general wants to borrow the night from the old man because he sees that it is getting late, I don't know if it is convenient for the old man's home?"

The old farmer said: "The villain's family is simple, if the general doesn't dislike it, it's good." ”

Xu Qian thanked him: "There is a tile to cover the dew, there is a bed to sleep, fortunately! Thank you to the old man." "Say goodbye and bow.

Seeing this, the old farmer couldn't help but bow in return, claiming that he "didn't dare", and hurriedly squatted down to get the basket and shovel.

Xu Qian hurriedly stepped forward to help carry the basket and went home with the old farmer.

The old farmer's house is a thatched house, there is a bamboo fence outside the house, several chickens and ducks are raised on the left side of the fence, vegetables and grains are planted on the right side, dry firewood and groceries are piled up on both sides of the house door, and several strings of pickles and dried meat are hung under the eaves. Xu Qian sighed in his heart: "In such a troubled world, it is rare to have such a comfortable farm life. "When I entered the house, there was a shabby square wooden table and two small stools in the living room, and there was a door on each side of the living room, presumably a master room and a guest room.

The old farmer invited Xu Qian to sit down and shouted, "Wife... Wife, come out and meet the guests. ”

The old woman stepped out of the room on the left and looked at Xu Qian in surprise. Seeing this, the old farmer hurriedly touched his wife and said, "Don't meet the general yet." Only then did the old woman wake up: "The general forgives the sin, the general forgives the sin." "I want to kneel. Xu Qian hurriedly got up and held on, and said, "No need to be polite." ”

The old farmer pulled his wife and said, "Why don't you cook for the general." The old woman walked playfully towards the kitchen. When the old farmer saw his wife leaving, he poured a glass of water and handed it to Xu Qiandao: "The country woman has never seen the world, and if she is rude, please forgive the general." ”

Xu Qian took the teacup and said, "It's still early, I'll go out for a walk and come back." As he spoke, he raised his glass and drank it and left the house.

The peasant couple slaughtered their chickens and ducks and boiled them, although they were reluctant, but they were afraid of offending the people in the government and causing trouble, so they had to harden their hearts. It was getting dark, and the couple had already made a table of dishes, waiting for Xu Qian to come back to eat.

After a short time, Xu Qian entered with both hands full of things. It turned out that Xu Qian went here, first rode a horse to the town to buy a lot of wine and meat marinade, and then hunted several pheasants and hares in the mountains, and then returned with a full load. Xu Qian saw that the old farmer and his wife had made a table of dishes for themselves, and his heart was moved, so he put the wine and meat marinade on the table, handed over the game to the old woman, and invited the two to sit and eat together.

Xu Qian took the opportunity to chat: "The old man lives here, I don't know if you have heard of any legends about the sword in Moganshan?"

The old farmer pondered for a moment and said, "There is such a legend about the sword. After a pause, he said: "Legend has it that in the late Spring and Autumn Period, there was a couple named Gan Jiang Mo Ye, who were expert in sword casting. The cadre has an eight-foot body and is extremely heroic. Together with the light of the brothers, worship the real person of the sword ancestor as a teacher, learn the method of mining and refining the iron essence of the five mountains and the six alloys, and practice the skills of melting, forging, shoveling, filing, carving, quenching, and grinding. After returning to his hometown, he married Mo Xie, the only daughter of the old man Lu Hua's father. Mo is charming and beautiful, smart and hardworking, and after getting married, he took sword casting as his business at the foot of Shandong. As he spoke, he presented a bowl of chicken soup to Xu Qian with both hands: "At that time, the heroes were competing for hegemony, and King Wu wanted to be the leader of the alliance of all nations. The cadres and Mo Xie were hindered by their power, so they had to pick the copper essence in the mountains, and chose the deep mountain waterfall as the place for casting the sword. Hire a few mountain people as assistants and ask Daddy Luhua to burn high-quality green charcoal. After the furnace is opened, the red flame soars into the air, day and night. As he spoke, he also filled his bowl with chicken soup, drank it and continued: "After nine hundred and eighty-one days, I met Weiguan who did not boil the golden juice. Mo Xie took the loess in the mountains, adjusted it to the clear spring in the mountains, then cut off his hair, cut off his nails, stirred it into a mud ball, and according to his reflection in the water, he made a portrait and threw it into the smelting furnace. Suddenly, there was a sound of thunder, the flames suddenly blazed, and a cloud of white smoke rose into the sky, rising into the air, and turned into a white treasure cover, which did not disperse for a long time. Xu Qianben listened attentively, but when he heard 'the thunder exploded, the flames suddenly blazing', his heart was agitated. I only heard the old farmer say: "At this time, the gold juice in the furnace is boiling, and it will soon be cast into a sword blank. The couple was beside the waterfall, quenching, shoveling, grinding, and finally casting two swords of yin and yang: the sword is one, and the division is two, dipping the clear spring in the mountain, grinding the valley boulder, the sword is sharp, the blue light is wet, and the cold is pressing.
