Chapter 5 Wangnu Gorge Peak

"One word: 'escape'. ”

"What? ......?" said the princess.

Wang Laohan put away his mysterious face and said slowly: "Princess, don't worry, wait for the old man to speak slowly." The princess did not know that the Mount of God, including the Grand Canyon, which you see now, was once an ocean. At that time, there was a fisherman living by the water, and the old couple depended on each other. They had no children, and they were looking forward to it. Perhaps the Emperor of Heaven was moved by compassion, and finally grew old and had a daughter. The couple was so overjoyed that they named the girl a famous girl. This lady has been delicate and beautiful since she was a child, smart and capable, and she is very diligent in housework, she can jump down the river to catch fish, and she can also go up the mountain to chop firewood. She not only takes care of her own family, but also often helps the neighbors of the village, so all the villagers praise the old couple for being blessed. It's just that she often stands alone on the big stone bag on the riverbank, her eyes looking into the distance, as if she has been looking forward to something. I never heard her say it, but I just looked at it like that, quietly looking into the distance. The standing appearance and demeanor are very handsome and beautiful, which makes people feel a little more pity. Someone paid attention and wanted to find out, so they quietly listened, as if she was talking to the Emperor of Heaven while looking. Oh, many people laughed, for the sake of Sazi to talk to a god in heaven? Even if there is a god, it is also in heaven, how can he know the sufferings and sorrows of the world? It may also be that this girl is too smart, and what she thinks and thinks about is not what ordinary people know. Hey, how can we not have some hope in this world? With hope, can't we take care of ourselves, or chatter and chat with a heavenly god? Think about it, the same is true. If it is a coincidence, some passers-by will say something when they see a woman standing like a stone. 'Wangnu, Wangnu, are you thinking about the Sazi again?' Wangnu generally does not answer, but just looks at the passers-by, smiles again, and turns her head to think about her own thoughts, and hopes for her own hope. Some passers-by even joked, saying that you are looking at your lover. Wangnu just smiled, didn't pay attention to it or explained, and no one told jokes anymore. ”

"In those days, there were many monsters living in the river, and among them was a guy called a dragon. They are long and strong, with four legs and a hard tail. If they are in the water, they are overlords, who can afford to provoke them? They also like to make trouble, especially in big pools, and make a pool dark. Therefore, as soon as they go down to the river, they swing their bodies and crash into the stones and cliffs on the shore. Those cliffs can withstand many tosses, and the mountains and rocks will fall down one after another, blocking the river, and many large pools are formed here and there. These waterholes and weirs made the dragons happy to death, but they only harmed the people on the shore, and those houses and fields were flooded into the country because of the blockage of the river. If you wait until the flash flood breaks out and the water is stronger, it will become a festival for dragons. They rode rampant in the midst of the raging floods, and washed away their houses as amusement for their own amusement. Some dragons also invite each other to take a credit and try each other to see who is more capable. At such times, only the common people suffer. In addition, these dragons have another great feature, that is, they are so versatile that they can transform into human form. After the change, they are all tall and big, and they look good. However, it is not human-like to do some things, and often do some evil deeds of bullying and dominating the market and robbing people's daughters with ferocity and barbarism. On this day, the dragons came to Wangnu's village, and they had already inquired about Wangnu's reputation. So he exerted his power to the villagers, as long as he obediently sent twelve village girls to the dragon overlords, he would not disturb the village. The villagers left and right their minds, and there was no other way. The dragons are used to bullying people, and many villages have been destroyed by them. They had no choice but to cry and cry, tie their hands together with the twelve village girls, including the wangnu, and send them to the bank of the river. The twelve girls are all teenage yellow flower girls. Some are still waiting to get married, and some also have their own crushes, even the princess, in fact, she has already taken a fancy to the stone brother in the neighboring village in private. It's just that the elder brother often goes out on the boat, and he doesn't know life and death when he is outside, so he often looks at the river bank because of this reason. The girls were tied up by the river, and a few of them just cried by themselves, and a few of them were clever enough to ask the female sister what to do. 'It's impossible to die, do you want to wait and watch them spoil us?' thought to herself. You must know that this girl has grown up in the countryside since she was a child, so she is not an obedient and weak woman. 'Look, run away!' said the girl again as she looked into the distance of the river. 'Where can you escape?' the sisters asked in surprise. Look at the mountains and valleys, aren't we used to climbing these cliffs! Maybe these dragons can climb up too! I guess they can only get away with it in the water. The lady looked at the gorge by the river. 'Okay!' Wait here to die, it's better to fight them. We're not easy to bully!' These sisters are also born in the mountains and water, and they are all very skillful, and they are not afraid of jackals, tigers and leopards. So I made up my mind and started to act. They quietly untied each other's ropes, but they pretended to be tied, crying and waiting. ”

After a while, the river became waves, and suddenly there were huge waves. Under the waves, the dragons took on human form and walked out with a grin. When I saw the girl on the shore, I was even more happy not to be on the ground. The women had already prepared, and when they saw them go ashore, they ran down the cliff and valley in three or five together, luring them away. Dragons are not afraid, they are just children's games. But after a while, they found that the girls were climbing up the cliff with their hands and feet, and they froze. You know, dragons are used to living in waterholes, and their hands and feet have never climbed. Even when they were running on the shore just now, some dragons had to retract back into their original form for convenience. But now if you want to catch the female doll, you have to go up the mountain and climb the cliff. 'What a little girl, see if we don't catch a good life and torture!' The dragons had no choice but to shrink back to their original appearance and climb up the cliff with difficulty. The girls saw that the dragons were also climbing, but slowly and with great difficulty, and they relaxed a lot. Someone took a stone or a stick and threw it down one by one. It also happened that the dragon that went ashore was a dryland dragon, and he had no ability to call the heavens and the earth. Several dragons were beaten down the cliff with the stones, and they died with a whimper. Gradually, Wangnu discovered a secret, as long as she took a stone and hit the dragons on their heads, the dragons would turn over and die. It turns out that there is a big bag on the dragon's head, called the 'big dragon bag', which is the death hole of the ever-changing dragon. Seeing the reason clearly, Wangnu jumped a few times and turned over to a leading dragon's head. Holding a bamboo stick in his hand as a 'dragon stick', while knocking on the big dragon's bag, he shouted loudly: 'Good dragon, good dragon, hurry up and be obedient, tell your friend to roll down the cliff!' The dragon let out a long roar, and suddenly the dragons on the mountain obediently turned their heads, and stopped chasing, and gathered one by one to the big dragon ridden by the woman. The goddess rode on the dragon and told the dragon to go east, but they did not dare to go west, and they did not dare to roll their eyes when they asked the dragon to bow their heads. When the sisters saw it, they were shocked, it turned out that Wangnu was the goddess of dragon training. The villagers also rushed to thank the lady for her rescue. ”

From then on, the dragon did not dare to run rampant anymore, and only obediently moved around the waterhole. And the Shenren Mountain and the Grand Canyon are still a country. Fortunately, the Emperor of Heaven happened to send Dayu to deal with the flood, and saw the river go to the canyon and be blocked by the rocks that the dragons knocked down. How can we use to open up a river channel? I am so worried that I can't do anything. Wangnu also saw this difficulty on the waterfront, so she and eleven sisters rode a dragon to see Dayu. The Dayu who controlled the water was like seeing a man of God, and they knelt in front of the woman. Wangnu explained her intentions, and was willing to help Dayu in the depression. Wangnu commanded the dragon army, along the route determined by the water control team, pushed the blocked stone bank, all the way to the East China Sea, and dug a waterway from the river to the sea. The dragons rarely visit the canyon because they see the ocean bigger than the waterhole. As for the Wangnu and sisters, because they were homesick, they wanted to say goodbye to the flood control army and return to the township. Parting Dayu also sighed: "You are stronger than my Dayu, I have been in the house three times in order to control the water, you control the water is just to go home!" On the way home, Wangnu has been looking for the stone brother in her heart, but the river is hitting the shore, where is the figure of the stone brother? After returning to her hometown, Wangnu is still often alone, standing on the big stone on the river bank, looking at the river, thinking about her thoughts. As for the eleven sisters, they may have been infected by the hopeful girl, and they all pinned their expectations, depression, and worries and unfreedom that only the girl herself knew, in the distance where the river could not be seen at a glance. After a long time, I don't know if it was their own changes, or those stone cliffs that stood were influenced, or whether they were created by nature when the Emperor created the riverbank, anyway, on both sides of the gorge where Wangnu was located, twelve strange and beautiful gorge peaks appeared handsomely. They each cling to the water's bank, like warriors who open a great river, guarding the waves under their feet. It is also like a variety of angels and fairies, looking forward to the people on both sides of the river. Be safe, travelers on the way! The flams seem to remind passing ships. In particular, Wangnu Peak is the only one, fluttering and fluttering. Occasionally, birds and birds flew in, calling non-stop, as if reporting the strange things of the goddesses who were training the dragon and opening the river. And it seems that they greeted the goddess: 'O maiden, maiden, are you thinking about the Son again?'"

"So the princess, even if she is a miraculous woman, will have a worry because of the difficulties of life on earth. What's more, if you are a princess, you have to think about it more. However, if you can look forward to a woman, you can hope for everything and find someone to rely on. Maybe I can regain my strength and have another extraordinary journey. Wang Laohan said that he persuaded the princess. Maybe it was too long, Wang Laohan said goodbye to Princess Yu'e and went to continue to drive the boat and paddle. Before leaving, I will be able to see the twelve famous peaks of the Xiajiang River soon tomorrow.

The princess was also tired of hearing this, and fell asleep. Suddenly, I felt that there were clouds and mist covering the mountains in front of me, and the abyss under my feet was the long river, and I still vaguely saw my own wedding boat. The princess was looking up, and a radiant fairy floated not far away, and the fairy stepped on a beautiful cloud, and her dress was fluttering. Without speaking, she took the princess affectionately and flew softly to a mountain. Between the eyebrows, I could catch a glimpse of the fairy's loving and gentle face. The princess only felt that she was surrounded by the soft body of the fairy, as if there was a sweet power from the bottom of her heart. I can't tell what kind of strange feeling it is, but it seems to be a little connected with the fairy.

"Princess, I am a princess. You are an angel of the river, what hope do you have?" said the fairy slowly.

"I'm ,......," said the princess, when she heard a commotion in her ears.

"Wangnufeng! Wangnufeng......" The princess was awakened, and a chaotic voice rang in her ears.
