Chapter 189: Shu Dao (2)

As far as the five of them are concerned, Leopard II is the fastest;

The body is unpredictable, flickering and flickering, but Cuicui is the best, and it is truly worthy of a phantom.

But with the hand of the ghost shadow as one, it is undoubtedly Xue Nuxia who has the advantage.

Cuicui only practices swords, not palms.

In terms of claws alone, Emerald is not as good as Qingqing.

Cuicui can't be called a ghost and demon palm, and it is more suitable to say that the ghost and demon sword is more suitable.

In terms of the martial arts skills of the five heroes, the leopard is the highest, and the green is the lowest.

Now, all five of them are running through the wilderness with their own fantasies, running so fast and so fast that one thinks they've encountered a troll.

In the five days before and after, they crossed Sichuan successively and appeared at the Qianfoshan Cliff of Daba Mountain on the border between Sichuan and Shaanxi.

Thousand Buddha Cliff is located on the east bank of the Jialing River in the north of Guangyuan County, Baoning Prefecture, Sichuan Province, and is the most thrilling and dangerous section of Shu Road.

There is no road to pass here, in order to get out of the river of Shaanxi, people on the cliff wall of the river, the hole frame wood, lay wooden planks, form a pavilion, also known as the boardwalk.

On this plank road, under the cliff, the abyss, thrilling;

The so-called difficulty in Shu Road and difficulty in climbing to heaven does not refer to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, but refers to here.

In order to protect the safety of the road, people cut out many small Buddha statues on the stone wall.

The large one was more than ten feet long, and the narrow niche was wide and empty, like a temple in which the Buddha sit.

There are also one or two feet small, and the Buddha sits opposite, so it is called the Thousand Buddha Cliff.

Du Fu, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, passed by here and wrote a famous poem: "Qingjiang River under the Longmen, the cliff has no foot of soil, lingering on the way to danger, looking up at the vertical threads." ”

This is the real story of the Thousand Buddha Cliff.

Because there is no Buddha under the Thousand Buddha Cliff, it is called Longmen Pavilion, so Du Fu's poem refers to the sentence "Qingjiang Lower Longmen", not "Qingjiang Lower Buddha Cliff".

In the dispute between Chu and Han, Xiang Yu made Liu Bang the king of Han and forced Liu Bang to enter Sichuan.

In order to paralyze Xiang Yu, Zhang Liang burned the boardwalk, so later there was Han Xin's plan to "repair the plank road in the Ming Dynasty and secretly cross Chencang", and then he returned to Xianyang and created the world of the Han Dynasty for 400 years.

Leopard, Qingqing and Cuicui ran on the cliff plank road for the first time, which was both novel and surprising.

At first glance, the plank road runs along the cliff, like a giant python, coiling around the half side of the cliff.

The leopard said, "How many men and wood do you need to build such a road?"

He couldn't help but slow down and appreciate the miracle.

Cuicui looked at the big Buddha and the little Buddha along the cliff, and said, "Why are so many Buddhas chiseled? A Buddha burns an incense, and it really needs to pick a load of incense to complete, no wonder no one burns incense for them." ”

The leopard said: "Cuicui, don't talk nonsense, be careful if you get angry, you will fall down." ”

"No one has come to smoke them for many years, and they starve to death when they are hungry, can they do it?"

"Cuicui, are you good at cultivating virtues? Be careful not to fall. ”

"I don't believe they have the strength to push me off a cliff. ”

Indeed, when people walk on the plank road, they always carry their hearts to hang on the fat ground, walk on the stone wall, and are afraid that their feet will slip down.

The leopard and Cuicui run on the cliff they jump, and the plank road is already a healthy avenue for them, and they can open it at full speed with their eyes closed.

The five of them, for safety and in case of accidents, went in two batches, Shang Liang and Xue Nuxia as a group, and went first.

Leopard and Qingqing and Cuicui are partners, and what happened to them behind their backs and Wan, their reactions suddenly changed.

They communicate with each other using codes and markers, and only meet at night.

They passed through Sichuan from Yunnan and were uneventful.

Behind the Thousand Buddha Cliff, in front is Qipanguan.

Qipanguan is the dividing line between Sichuan and Shaanxi.

It is adjacent to the Ningqiang area of Shaanxi Province to the north and the Baoning area of Sichuan Province to the south.

To Qipanling, also known as Wupanling, the scenery is very different.

There are mountains and forests on the road, so Du Fu wrote such a poem: "Although the clouds are dangerous in Wupan, the mountains are more than beautiful." ”

It was getting late, and they spent the night on the mountains of Qibanling.

They lit bonfires in the mountains, in the clouds, and in the sea, roasted the pheasants and hares they caught, and prepared to jump into the trees to rest until dawn.

Just as the smell of barbecue began to emanate, suddenly a stranger sat by the fire.

His ragged clothes, his face dirty, his eyes were unusually bright, like two twinkling stars in the middle of the night, and he grinned and said, "It smells so good! Can I eat something?"

He said, reaching for it.

Shang Liang and his wife, Leopard and the others were all surprised, when did this person come?

Sit quietly by the fire and let no one know.

It was this extremely light merit that shocked Shang Liang and Leopard.

Cuicuiβ€”the sword came out, forced the man's dirty hand back, and asked, "Who are you? When did you come?"

The man said, "I am a beggar and sleep on that tree." The smell of the barbecue made me down. ”

Shang Liang and Xue Hongmei looked at this person in the firelight. He was not more than eighteen years old and had a beautiful face, but his face was covered with dust.

Cuicuichi said: "You use this dirty hand to take it, then do we still need to eat?"

"Yes, then, miss, give me some. ”

"The mountains are full of hares and pheasants. Why don't you catch them yourself?"

"Girl, I can't catch it! Have mercy on me, I haven't begged for food all day. ”

"Do you really want to beg for food?"

"Yes, I'm not called a beggar, what's it called?"

"I've never heard of a beggar in this deserted place. Why do you sleep in the mountains and don't go to the market or the village to beg for food?

"Girl! That's a strange question! If you don't sleep on the top of the mountain, where will you sleep?"

"Can I eat here?"

"Now you understand?"

"Stay away from me!"

"Girl, why are you so ruthless?"

"You see yourself, young and strong, not to work hard to earn a living, but to beg for food, right?"

"If I could make a living, would I still do it?"

"Y-you must be a big slacker!"

"I'm used to eating, and I'm used to doing nothing. ”

"No, no, no! I'm not lazy at all. I had been working for someone else for less than two days before I was thrown out!"

"Why?"

"Because I can't do anything but beg. ”

"Pack up your things, carry your things, you can do it, okay?"

"I can't hold it. Someone had to lift me up on the shoulder, and before I could take two steps, I fell, breaking everything on it. It seems that I was meant to be. Why don't you hire me, miss? I'll be with you. ”

"What do we want from you?"

"Then this girl doesn't want me anymore!"

"What else can I do but beg for food?"

Qingqing said, "Cuicui, give him a hare to eat." Tell him to go away and stop asking him. ”

Called Hua said: "It's still this girl who is kind." ”

So saying, he jumped up, took a roasted hare from the fire, and began to bite it heavily.

The hands and mouth do not seem to be afraid of fire and burns.

Shang Liang and the others were surprised again.

What kind of character is this?

What about the origin?

Is it good or bad?

Can't help him.

Shang Liang smiled and asked, "Little beggar, is the rabbit meat delicious?"

He grinned and said, "Delicious!"

Before he had finished eating the hare, he remembered another pheasant.

Shang Liang smiled and said, "Because we added an aromatic poison to the rabbit. Of course it's delicious!"

Calling Hua was stunned: "You poisoned?"

"Didn't you eat?" he was scared.

"Am I not going to be poisoned?"

"If you don't ask, take it yourself!"

"You, you can't scare me. ”

Cuicui smiled: "You-you'll die of intestines in a while, do you think our things are so delicious?"

When he had eaten the hare, he caught a pheasant and swallowed a piece of meat into his stomach.

He moved quickly, Cuicui wanted to block it too late, and asked, "Do you still eat, aren't you afraid of poison death?"

Eating, he said, "I'm afraid!"

"I'm afraid, you still eat it?"

"Girl, I'll eatβ€”I'll die if I eat just by eating, and I'll die if I'm full, and I'm better to be a full ghost than to be a hungry ghost." ”

Shang Liang shook his head and said, "Little brother, if you eat one, I still have an antidote to save you." If you mix two, two different poisons together, even if I have an antidote, I won't be able to save you!

He asked, "Did it hurt when I died?"

"Not only pain, but also an ugly death. ”

Yuhua listened, didn't say anything, got up and left.

Cuicui shouted, "Why did you go?"

"Girl, I'm dying, how about not leaving? I don't want you to see what I'm like when I'm dead. I want you to go away and listen to me cry. ”

After that, he really went into the depths of the forest and said, "I'm dead! I'm dead! I don't have to beg for food anymore!"

Xue Nuxia didn't know whether to praise or wonder: "This is a strange little scream." ”

The leopard asked Shang Liang, "Uncle, did you poison the hares and pheasants?"

Shang Liang asked rhetorically, "What do you think?"

"It's not directed at us, it's just asking us for food. Uncle wouldn't poison hares and pheasants, would he?"

"How do you know he doesn't mean anything against us?"

"Did Uncle really poison him?"

Xue Nuxia said: "Brother, this little beggar seems to be much smarter than you. Knowing that there was no poison in the food, he secretly rejoiced. He pretended to be stupid, ate a full meal and left. ”

"Aunt Xue, who is he?"

"Who he is, I don't know. We see the wonders of the rivers and lakes from time to time, and we better not pay too much attention to these people, otherwise we won't know what trouble they will cause. ”

"Isn't he angry when we scare him like this?"

"He's going to be angry, he's already angry!"

"But he saw that we didn't mean anything and just wanted to scare him, so he smiled and walked away. ”

Shang Liang said: "I can't help but admire the ingenuity and courage of this little caller. ”

Cuicui said, "I'll go see him." ”

Xue Nuxia: "Girl, don't mess with him." It's better not to annoy such a weirdo. Besides, he's done so well, how can you find him? I don't know where he's gone. Let's get some rest – sleep at night and leave tomorrow. ”

That night, after eating hares and pheasants, they jumped up a tree to rest.

Because of such a strange name, I don't know if it's a friend or foe, we have to take precautions, so the leopards, Shang Liang took turns to take care of them, and they left in the deep stream to the territory of Shaanxi.

Soon, it appeared in the dangerous Wuding Gorge.

The so-called "Shu Road" is a dangerous road located in the middle of the mountain, passing through Dabus Mountain, also known locally as Moliang Mountain.

In fact, it is the entire Daba Mountain Range, the east is called Daba Mountain, and the section on both sides is called Moliang Mountain.

The high mountains of this region are dotted with a number of historical places of interest.

It was once the place where Zhuge Liang, the famous prime minister of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period, came into play.

Zhuge Liang's Six Qi Mountains, the Nine Central Plains, and the ancient battlefields are all this mountain.

Therefore, there are many historical relics of the Three Kingdoms period, such as Zhuge Liang's tomb after his death, Zhang Fei's place against Ma Cao Guowei, the top of the mountain, Jiang Wei's army gathered, Zhuge Liang's wooden oxen and horses, and so on.

Leopard Er and others were in a hurry to go to Xuejia Village, Longmen, Shanxi, to appreciate the places of interest and historic sites in this area, and they didn't have the heart to inquire.

They saw mountains, rugged roads, palaces and roads, magnificent mountains, strange rocks, clouds all around.

No wonder the great poet Li Bai passed by here and left this sentence: "The mountain rises from the face of man." Yun Pang Ma firstborn".

As you can see, the mountains are high and the mountain roads are dangerous.

According to legend, in ancient times, there was no road from Sichuan to Shaanxi or from Shaanxi to Sichuan, let alone this Shu road.

The mountain is steep, straight into the sky, birds cannot fly, and apes are difficult to climb.

During the Warring States Period, King Qin Huiwen was poor and had no passers-by in order to attack Shu.

He heard that the king of Shu was very greedy for money.

He deliberately had five stone oxen dug up, placed them on the road, and sprinkled them with golden beans on the back.

The king of Shu sent someone to see it, and sure enough, he found it.

He coveted gold, so he took the stone ox to Shu and ordered Wu Dingli to dig a road on the mountain to lead the stone ox to Shu.

Later, the Qin army entered Sichuan along this road and defeated the Shu state.

This Wuding Gorge, legend has it that it was opened by Wuding Lux.

Therefore, there is also a Shu road and a boardwalk between Sichuan and Shaanxi.

Therefore, Shu Road is also known as Jinniu Road and Shiniu Road.

Bao'er, Qingqing, and Cuicui were running along the steep mountain road of Wuding Gorge, when they suddenly found that there was another person among their clansmen.

At first glance, it turned out to be the little screamer who was begging in Qipanling last night.

He didn't know when he would be able to come to him and run with him.

Cuicui shouted first, "Ah, why did you come to us?"

The leopard rushed to the point where it was the feat of the Phantom, and its speed was like flying, and even some first-class martial arts masters would find it difficult to catch up, let alone walk on their own.

But this little beggar, not only caught up with them, but also accompanied them, why didn't they call the leopard and they were all stunned?

"I think I must have died last night, but I don't know how, so I'm here to ask you why your poison isn't so effective. Why can't poison kill?"

"You want to kill me?"

"I don't want to!"

"Then why are you following us?"

"I want to know, where did the poisoned uncle go last night, why is he gone?"

"He's in front. You go and ask him. ”

"Why don't you go together?"

"What does it matter to you that we are together or not?"

"No, no, don't be so angry, girl! ”

"Do you still have time?"

"No, no. No, no! Yes!"

Cuicui is going to attack again.

The little beggar hurriedly looked at it and said, "Girl, don't be angry. If a girl gets angry, she will easily grow old and ugly!"

Cuicui was almost by this little scream.

Qingqing and Leopard couldn't help but fight.

Leopard asked, "Big brother, who are you?"

"Am I not called to melt?

"Big brother, I ask your name. ”

"Hee-hee, what's the name?"

"How can there be no name?"

"Why, I want food. People call me nameless, and they don't use my name. ”

"Because you didn't say your name. ”

"No wonder people see me and call me Huahua!

"Won't my brother tell us the name of that beast?"

"No, no, my surname is Wu. ”

"It turned out to be Angkor. ”

"No, no, no! My name is not Big Brother, but Shadow. ”

"Wu Shadow?"

"Yes, I'm Wu Yingzi. What about you?"

"My name is Wanli Leopard, and you call me Leopard. ”

"Hee-hee!"

Wu Yingzi smiled.

Cuicui asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"Aren't you going to make me cry, are you?"

"Yes, I want you to cry!"

Qingqing said, "Cuicui, how do you want others to cry?"

How can people cry for no reason!"

The beggar said, "No, no! I cry easily and laugh easily." But I'm going to cry, it's going to be very ugly, and it's going to scare you away!"

Qingqing was trying to persuade Cuicui not to be embarrassed by this call, and to say good things, but she was called to say such things, but she didn't know how to say it.

Cuicui said, "Really, why don't you cry and see if we can escape?"

"Do you really want me to cry?"

"You're not going to cry, are you?"

"Who says I can't cry?"

"And then I cried!"

"Okay! I'll cry for you. ”

It's called real crying, crying together, it's awe-inspiring, it touches the heartstrings.

It was a terrible cry, emitted by a powerful internal force, heartbreaking, tearful at first, and then unbearable.

The leopard was shocked when she heard it, and Qingqing couldn't stand anymore.

Cuicui was startled, she heard her master say that there is a terrible martial art in the forest, which can make people cry, called "ghost crying and god crying", if you don't go far, it will make people crack open and die.

She eagerly said to Leopard and Qingqing, "Please stop pretending to be deaf. Don't be moved by his cry. ”

The leopard's internal force is very deep, so it can get to the leopard in time, and Qingqing will give a warning.

Cuicui's face took on the color of sadness and pain.

Seeing Qingqing's expression, Shadowless stopped crying and smiled.

They laughed, and immediately stopped the sad sobbing, freed the person from their grief, and restored their spirits.

Xiao Xiaohua grinned and asked, "I'm just crying hard, okay?" Do you want me to cry?"

The leopard hurriedly said, "Don't cry!"
