Yulin ran out of the house in a panic, and rushed to the foot of the mountain on the street, the wind whined in his ears, and occasionally heard a few dogs barking, which made Yulin speed up his pace, and the short streets that usually seemed familiar to him seemed to be stretched, and there was no end to it.

Finally at the foot of the mountain, Yulin stopped, bent over and panted, looking back, it was still dark behind him, but there was some light in the direction of his home, but he couldn't hear the sound. Yulin didn't care much, and ran to the hillside again.

Hengshan is not very high, the second half of the mountain road is relatively gentle, people have walked more, stepped out of the path, in the night with gray color, in the mist on the mountain is still vaguely arguable, this road Yulin often walks, usually nothing he and his friends often play hide and seek here, climb trees to dig birds' eggs, or pick mushrooms and wild fruits or something. Yulin is familiar with every grass and tree here, knows the shape and size of almost every stone on the roadside, and does not hesitate to trot up even if he walks this mountain road at night.

After all, when he came out of the house, he ran all the way without stopping, and Yulin was finally too tired to run, sitting on a rock, panting like a bellows. Fluttering..., several mountain birds were startled, Yulin was startled, and when he looked up, he found that he had come to the bottom of Baizhang Cliff.

Baizhang Cliff, is the local people of this cliff a very awe-inspiring name, one word its high danger and unclimbable, two words its god, the so-called God, is therefore this cliff legend is the immortal master Lu Dongbin once practiced meditation place, the old people of Hengshui rumor, Lu Xianshi also once lit a tiger on this mountain, since then the tiger no longer eats meat, but only eats grass, before Yulin often said in the old man on the street said that the ancient times heard this immortal tiger.

There is a stone statue of Lu Xianshi on the Baizhang cliff, which is excavated along the mountain wall, it is more than one zhang high, the bottom of the statue is one person high from the bottom of the cliff, Yulin can climb to the bottom edge of the stone statue by tiptoeing, so Yulin did not hesitate, and it took some effort to climb up with his hands and feet.

Lu Xianren was sitting cross-legged on the sleeping fairy stone, Yulin was already thin, just enough to hide behind the immortal's meditating legs, and saw that there was a shriveled apple and two dried and broken pastries on the offering table in front of the immortal, Yulin took it without hesitation, looked at it, and gnawed it up.

After eating, Yulin remembered that the burden his mother gave him was still on his back, and he hurriedly opened it to see, but it was just a few clothes, three or four dry food, and a small firewood knife wrapped in linen, as well as a fire knife and a fire sickle and more than one or two pieces of silver, Yulin put the firewood power in his hand, leaned on the stone wall to rest, at this time there was a lightning bolt in the sky, reflecting the stone wall and the statue of the gods, the air was still dull, there was a smell of burnt, it was the trees on the mountain that were hit by lightning, right? Yulin didn't think much about it, he was tired and hugged the firewood knife and gradually fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, another strong lightning streaked across the night sky, illuminating the stone wall as white as day, the strong light shook so that Yulin suddenly opened his eyes and quickly closed them, and when he opened his eyes again, his body trembled, grabbed the firewood knife, looked at the surrounding dark mountain walls and cliff caves, relaxed, recalled that a fierce tiger pounced on him in his dream, his heart was still pounding, and his body was a little cold, I don't know whether he was scared or blown by the cold wind.

Suddenly, the thoughts in his mind turned, and Yulin suddenly became sleepy, "On this stone statue that a half-adult like me can go on, it is also easier for the county government to catch heads, no, I have to climb up again!" ”。 Having made up his mind, he poked his head out and looked carefully around the stone statue, up and down, left and right, and looked up to see the wild vine hanging from the high cliff wall, swaying slightly on the high place above the stone statue. At this time, the branch on the upper left side of the cave attracted his attention, and when he saw it, it turned out to be a branch of a tree that grew from the stone crack on the cliff, this branch was as thick as a duck's egg, Yulin calculated the height, quickly packed up the burden of the firewood knife, tied it tightly behind his back, and then untied the belt, and the pants also slid down naturally, Yulin tied the belt and pants together to form a rope. He pulled hard with both hands, feeling that he was still satisfied with this so-called rope, so he found a stone of the right size and tied it to one end of the "rope" by his side, and then threw it hard at the branch, the rope just slid under the branch, and then went back, almost hitting Yulin, Yulin hurriedly dodged, he adjusted his position, and threw the stone out with more force, this time the stone crossed the top of the branch and fell, and the rope happened to wrap around the branch a few times, This technique was learned by Yulin and Li Dali's son who opened a martial arts hall on the street when he played, almost tried and tested, and he didn't know how many wild fruits he picked on the trees in the high places to eat, but he didn't expect that the unintentional actions of those chickens and dogs in the past were to solve today's urgent needs!

Yulin tugged the rope, not moving at all, so he grabbed the rope, kicked on his feet, and his body hung in the air, and then Yulin climbed up and grabbed the branch like a monkey climbing the pole along the rope three or two times, and then turned over and rode on the tree with the rippling momentum of the branch, and when he looked up, the thick vine was hanging in front of him, Yulin took a slight breath, checked the burden again, spit in his hand, grabbed the thick vine, stepped on the stone wall, and slowly climbed up.

There were some protruding stones and small pitholes on the stone wall, and Yulin stood there to catch his breath when he was tired of climbing, but he didn't dare to relax at all when he grasped the vines in his hands, let alone look down. One vine climbed to the end, then changed to another and continued to climb up, fortunately, the vines became more dense the higher they went, Yulin rested a few times in the middle, and I don't know how long it took, and finally reached the top of the cliff with his hand, and Yulin finally climbed to the top of the cliff with the last trace of strength.

Yulin's hands and feet were sore, and he didn't have any strength, so he lay motionless on the ground and gasped! For a moment, it seemed as if the world was empty, and all he could hear was his heartbeat and gasps.

When Yulin woke up from his near-collapse, he felt something strange around him, and when he propped himself up and looked up, he was stunned by the sight in front of him: directly in front of him was a huge object, shaped like two joined cymbals, tall and heavy in the middle, with thin edges, and a dark green light throughout.

Yulin heard a low sizzling sound coming from there, and smelled a slight smell of burnt in the air, he calmed down his panicked mood, stabilized his breathing, slowly walked to the behemoth, touched it with his hand, and the warm and hard feeling was like a clay pot in the dark light at noon. Just when Yulin wanted to get closer and take a closer look, suddenly, the light flashed in front of him, and a square hole appeared on the dark green object, and the strong light shot out from it, Yulin's eyes couldn't be opened, and he saw a short "person" with a head like a gourd, eyes like copper bells, and slender limbs in a trance, Yulin exclaimed in his heart: "Did I meet a ghost?" "I just felt warm on my body, my head hurt slightly, and then I didn't know anything.

In a daze, Yulin felt as if he was lying in the warm sun, basking in the sun, and his whole body was relaxed, an indescribable sense of pleasure, except that his head was a little hot.

He wanted to touch his head with his hand, but his hand couldn't move, his head didn't seem to move, and it seemed to be wrapped around something, soft but firm and unable to break free, and there was no sound other than that, and the sizzling sound he had heard was gone, and there was silence in his ears, and the sun above his head was much bigger than usual, but not very hot, and there was no dazzling light, just a soft and comfortable light.

Just as Yulin tried to move his feet, he suddenly heard a tick and lost all his senses, like falling into boundless darkness.

I don't know how long it took, when Yulin came to his senses, he found himself lying on the stone on the top of the cliff, and when he looked around, he found that there was nothing but some low dead grass on the top of the cliff, and there was still a faint smell of burnt paste around him, and the wind was only slight, and the sky was still gloomy and sunless.

"Nothing! What the hell?! Yulin thought as he slowly propped himself up, stood up and looked up at the sky, and then looked down at his feet, and saw the dark bottomless valley, and suddenly his head felt a sharp pain, and he suddenly felt that the sky was hanging and the earth was turning, and he couldn't help himself, and he actually fell from the top of the cliff - he fell straight down from the top of the cliff...

Hengshui City is located at the foot of Hengshan Mountain, there is a cross river bending in front of it, across the river is a stone arch bridge, it is called Ji'an Bridge, the local people commonly call it the old stone bridge, the old people can not remember which year the bridge was built, just look at the mottled marks on the stone carving lion on the top of the bridge stone stall and the deep ruts on the big bluestone on the bridge deck to know that it has indeed experienced countless wind and rain, and has gone through the long Cangsang of history.

There are many shops along the river on both sides of the old stone bridge, among which there are many wine-making workshops scattered among them, especially the local relatively large eighteen wineries are quite prosperous, and the liquor produced is collectively referred to as Hengshui Laobaigan to the outside world, because of its sweet and strong liquor, the unique taste of the qu, widely respected by people. And because the river flows into the Ya River in the north, it flows into the sea, communicates the river transport and shipping, so that the merchants from near and far gather, it is the prosperous place of the thoroughfare of the nine provinces, every day the river is full of boats and boats, the goods on the wharf are piled up, the crowds are crowded, and a busy scene.

Yan Nier sat on the bench outside the Fudron Wine Workshop, looking at the water of the Henghe River in a daze, and the guy Changchun carried the wine jar and Yan Nier had a sentence without saying a word: "The old shopkeeper said that the old guest from Haijin is coming today, saying that he wants to buy two boats of wine, and the second lady will help calculate the account when she arrives?!" Yan Nier tilted her head and muttered: "You guys do it yourself, people have been annoying for the past two days", Changchun put down the wine jar, wiped his sweat, leaned next to Yan Nier, and looked at Yan Nier with a smile, "Is it because of Xiaolinzi?" Yanni said: "No, it's all that Hu swords and scatters wildness, and puts such a high profit, so vicious!" This time I finally got retribution, I was suffocated by Brother Yulin, and if I didn't die, I would have to lie down for half a year, I deserved it! Changchun smiled, gritted his teeth and said: "It's not that the time has not come, God is pitiful, he still cheated me for two dollars last month, I didn't expect the news to come quickly... It's a pity, why didn't you die clean?! Yan Nier said: "Brother Yulin is thin and has little strength!" Changchun was about to speak, Yan Ni'er's father, Fudron's Zhao shopkeeper came out and urged Changchun: "Changchun, don't grind your teeth there, hurry up, Haijin's old guest will be here when he speaks, move the wine!" Sharp! ”。 Changchun ran away again and again. The old shopkeeper called Yan Nier, "Second girl, don't be idle, take the fifteen taels of silver to Aunt Yang's house, persuade him not to worry, let's go into the mountains together to find Yulin when we are busy today", Yan Nier jumped up in response to the sound and took the silver and turned around and ran, the old shopkeeper shouted behind him: "Go and go back quickly, and when you come back, you have to help Changchun them keep accounts!" ”
