I immediately stood up, moved a chair and sat next to her, and said, "Now you can speak." ”

"Are you pretending to be stupid or are you really stupid, don't you know why? There are a few days in a woman's house every month, and her body changes. At this time, Hu Bing twisted her amorous willow waist and slender legs, her face rippled with all kinds of charm, slowly walked to my side, snuggled half of her body against me, and then hugged me and kissed me on the forehead, then raised her head with a smile and said, "Do you want it?" ”

Seeing Hu Bing's watery eyes, I felt a little broken.

"I'm worried that someone outside will hear it."

Hu Bing blew softly in my ear and said delicately: "But ......"

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years."

"Just once......" Hu Bing snuggled half of his body into my arms and clinged to my arm.

"Obedient." I said to Hu Bing seriously, "I'm glad you can take the initiative, to be honest, you have really changed a lot, but this time it's really not a joke, once others know that you are a woman disguised as a man, can you still control these people outside?" ”

Hu Bing saw that I had a serious face, so he put away his flattery, coughed, and said, "Well, you're right!" ”

"Let's get down to business first."

As I spoke, I opened the map, pointed to the direction we were, and said, "If we take the current location as the origin and the Yingzheng tomb as the end point, draw a straight line." ”

As I spoke, I drew a line with a pencil, and then said: "Look at this place, this place coincides with the line on the map, and each overlapping point can be regarded as a node, which is equivalent to our next travel route, which is to find one node after another, and move along the node, as long as we can find the route between the nodes on the satellite map, and walk one by one, we will definitely be able to find it." ”

Hu Bing nodded and said, "Although the method you said is more troublesome, it should still be feasible to operate." ”

"There's no way around it." I sighed, "If we have the ability to unload the ridge wrestlers, we don't have to be so troublesome at all, just go straight to the shortest route." ”

"Is there a river here?" Hu Bing pointed to the river between the first nodes on the map.

The river intercepted our path and lay straight ahead, which could not be avoided in any way.

"Ever heard of weak water?"

Hu Bing looked at me and said in surprise: "Weak water? I know 'only one scoop for 3,000 weak water', are you talking about this? ”

"Yes."

It is said that "weak water" is the weakest thing in the world, and even goose feathers cannot bear it. Weak water was first seen in "Shangshu? Yu Gong": "Guide the weak water to Heli." "Sun Xingyan's "Annotations on the Ancient Texts of Shangshu and Modern Texts": "Zheng Kangcheng said: 'Weak water comes out of Zhangye. According to the ancient books, weak water is also found in the "Historical Records? The Biography of Dawan", "Hanshu? Geographical Chronicles, Later Han Books? The Biography of Dongyi and Bi Yuan's Note "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", etc.

In ancient times, many shallow and turbulent rivers could not be used for boats but could only be used for raft transition, and the ancients believed that the water was weak and could not carry boats, so such rivers were called weak water. Therefore, in ancient books such as "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "The Records of the Ten Continents", many weak waters with the same name are not recorded in the same river.

There is water in the north of Kunlun contained in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and its strength cannot defeat mustard, so it is called weak water, which is what it means

。 Some of these terms are still in use today, such as the weak river on the map of Gansu Province. Weak water is also used to refer specifically to the Poyi River or Heishui River in the northwest, and of course is limited to specific geographical works. Later ancient literature gradually used weak water to refer to dangerous and distant rivers. The more famous is Su Shi's "Jinshan Myokotai" There is a sentence: Penglai is unreachable, and the weak water is 30,000 miles. This is the first time that weak water has been used in conjunction with a specific number. Zhang Xiaoxiang's "Water Dragon Yin - Looking at Jiuhua Mountain" also has a sentence "Ethereal beads and foolish guards, looking at Penglai, there is no weak water at the beginning". In other poems, there are few sentences with weak water. On the contrary, it is more common to use it in later years.

In the twenty-second episode of "Journey to the West", when Tang Sanzang collected sand monks, there was a poem describing the danger of the quicksand river: 800 quicksand realms, 3,000 weak water depths, goose feathers could not float, and the reeds sank at the bottom. This is the first official mention of the weak water three thousand. Mr. Lu Xun said in his "Supplement to the Collection of Extra-Collections: A Brief Treatise on the Geology of China": Although the weak water is surrounded by four corners and isolated, how will it ...... in the twenty-fifth chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions": "What kind of person is that person: one foot is high and the other foot is low, covered in water and mud. If you meet and ask where your home is, you are in the west of Penglai. This also means distant.

"In fact, weak water in ancient times refers to shallow and turbulent rivers, these rivers can only be used rafts to transition because they can't use boats, the ancients believed that because the water is weak and can't carry boats, so such rivers are called weak water."

"What's the point of that?"

"Before I came, I looked at the nearby terrain and landforms, and found that there was indeed a river not far ahead, which was basically the same as the direction marked on the map, what does this mean?"

"For so long, this weak water hasn't changed?"

"Yes, so we can boldly assume that the forest is very limited because it is inaccessible, and it still retains its original appearance."

"But this is only the first paragraph, and it's hard to say what will happen later."

"There will be changes in the latter point, change is the norm, and no change is abnormal." I smiled, "It's hard to get started, but it's a good start." ”

"Uh-huh."

"I'm just worried that the river might not be easy to cross."

"Rest assured, we carried a state-of-the-art rope ladder and crossing a river shouldn't be a problem." Hu Bing said.

"Don't make it too simple."

Early the next morning, before dawn, the troops had already assembled. After a night's rest, everyone was in good spirits and eager to try the turbulent river ahead.

I'm not optimistic.

"Boss Hu, where do you think our rope ladder should be piled?" I pointed to the soft dirt in front of me and smiled, "This river is only twenty meters wide, and there is really no problem with building a rope bridge on it, but this riverbed is soft mud, and there are no trees next to it, unless we dig piles more than a meter long, this bridge will not be able to support us to cross safely." ”

Zhang Liqun was also puzzled: "Yes, I have seen it, the embankments on both sides of the river should be all silt, and there are no rock layers. ”

"Isn't there any other way? Can't you kayak or wade across a river? Hu Bing asked.

"Of course there is." I pointed to the forest behind me and said, "Take local materials, cut trees from the forest behind you, and then dig a pit one meter deep, and drive the stakes firmly, maybe there is a way." ”

Just do it, everyone

The flame was high, and in a short time, we cut down five or six stumps, and then drove them one by one to fix them. The rope gun easily throws the rope ladder to the opposite bank, and this is when a warrior needs to risk his life to slip over the rope ladder and use the original method to secure the rope ladder.

There is no shortage of warriors in the ranks.

It's just that it's too time-consuming.

By the time we finally set up the rope ladder, it was dusk.

But in the end, the hard work paid off.

The large army crossed the river smoothly.

More surprises are yet to come. After we crossed the river, the first person to cross the river immediately reported a news, saying that when he was cutting down tree stumps in the forest, he accidentally found a stone tablet on the ground, and there was a phoenix totem on it.

Zhang Liqun was overjoyed and immediately went to check. I saw that the inscription was buried deep in the soil, and the body of the stele was dilapidated, and the traces on it were blurred, but it could still be distinguished as a phoenix.

"Chu Xianmin took the phoenix as a totem. In the eyes of Chu Xianmin, the phoenix is a kind of sacred bird. ”

"This should just be a Chu State tomb, and it has nothing to do with the tomb of Ying Zheng." Zhang Liqun judged.

"Spring and Autumn Drama Confucius": "Phoenix, the essence of fire, Shengdan acupoint, non-sycamore does not live, non-bamboo does not eat, non-Liquan does not drink, the body is equipped with five colors, the five tones in the song, there is a way to see, and the birds are flying." "This phoenix is the spirit of fire, and it is actually the god of fire. Qu Yuan's "Far Travel": "I wish to melt the ring and step on the royal Xi, and tell the bird to welcome the concubine." "White Tiger Pass: Five Elements": "Wishing the Melter...... Its essence is a bird, and it is separated from a luan. "Luan bird, Luan, that is, the phoenix, it can be seen that Chu Xianmin regarded Zhurong and the phoenix as one, which is a reflection of totem worship.

"The ancestor of Chu is Zhu Rong, and many people think that it is Dou, that is, Danzhu, which is the god of the sun, that is, 'the bird in the sun', and 'Dou' and 'Danzhu' are also bird names, so the Chu people seem to be the totem of the bird."

Because the Chu people regard the phoenix as the embodiment of Zhu Rong, the phoenix's abilities are vast, giving people great spiritual power. The cultural relics unearthed in Chudi, the image of the phoenix is also very many, such as the tiger seat bird drum unearthed in Yutai Mountain, Jiangling, the tiger seat standing phoenix, the phoenix dragon and tiger pattern embroidery unearthed in Mashan, Jiangling, and the bronze statue of the phoenix dragon unearthed in Shou County, Anhui.

"Okay, let's camp here today, every part of the next journey will face the situation like today, it is very likely that we have worked hard for a day, and we have only advanced a few tens of meters, everyone must be prepared for a protracted battle."

"Here, let's have a cookie." I took out a compressed biscuit from my backpack and handed it to Wu Honghong, "You have never eaten this kind of bitterness in your life, have you?" ”

Wu Honghong looked at me with tears in her eyes and said, "Brother Lin Kun, I'm so scared here......

Chen Yina smiled and comforted: "Honghong, you can't retreat now, so many people are looking at you, if you are afraid, you will be ridiculed." ”

Although Chen Yina comforted Wu Honghong out of kindness, from my heart, I hope that Wu Honghong can take the initiative to quit, this kind of life is not something that a little girl like her can bear.

Immediately afterwards, I thought of Chen Ziyue, and remembered how she grew step by step from an ignorant female student to an excellent disciple of the Mountain Moving Sect.

But I am also afraid that Wu Honghong will repeat the mistakes of the past and add unbearable pain to my life.
