Chapter 23: Wonderland Awakens

Everyone immediately agreed that because the offensive of the thief army in Qiangtian County was urgent, Lei Gong, Tian Bang, Yu Zhong and others stayed in Shouyang City, and Li Xin and Zhang Baba led 20,000 Shouyang troops to the 'Little Wolf Slope' to help the Black Mountain brothers of Po Liuhan resist the Xiliang cavalry of Yuan Huazi. And Meng Yanchi and Zong Zhao led twenty guards to march towards Wu County with Yu Weiran. The Snow Wolf King's 'Thorn Snow' accompanied Coco Qingqing in the 'Dawn Moon Garden' to wait for everyone's good news. After the discussion was completed, although everyone was reluctant, they still knew the principle of focusing on the overall situation, so they told Yu Weiran a few words and went out to their own things.

Meng Yanchi and Zong Zhao packed up their salutes after a few clicks, urging Yu Weiran to move quickly, Yu Weiran sighed and said: "The general doesn't know, the 'Reunion Mirror' can't even be entered casually by the villagers of Taoyuan Village, let alone us." If we go like this, I'm afraid that the people in the 'Reunion Mirror' will never come to the rescue of General Wei. ”

Meng Yanchi was stunned and said, "Then how is it good?" ”

Yu Weiran smiled and said: "When we parted that day, the owner of the 'Reunion Mirror' gave me a pill and a guqin, and now we have sent that guqin back to her. In fact, there is no way to do it. ”

Meng Yanchi said: "Then without further ado, I will send someone to Mr. Winehouse to fetch the guqin." ”

It didn't take long for Zong Zhao to come back with the black qin. Meng Yanchi ordered everyone to change into the dress of pawns at the suggestion of Weiran, and the group pretended to be a caravan guard to go out of Shouyang to Hanzhong through Chencang Mountain, and everyone took a short rest in Hanzhong to buy some supplies, and passed through Kuiguan and Baidi City non-stop to Yong'an. After everyone entered Yizhou, they could see hungry and skinny people digging wild vegetables and peeling bark to wrap their stomachs, and a large number of homeless beggars shuttled between the city and the countryside just to find a mouthful of porridge soup. ”

Under the leadership of Yu Weiran, the old horse arrived at Wuxian Port in less than two days, Meng Yanchi chartered a bucket boat in the port, and everyone carefully carried Long Yi to the boat and placed it properly. The boatman hangs his sails and goes up against the water, and one day later he enters the Wu Gorge where the river is turbulent, the mountains and rocks in the gorge are steep, the cliffs are steep, and the apes can sometimes be seen grabbing the tree vines and swinging up and down on the cliffs, so unhappy. However, in the eyes of Zong Zhao and others, it is extremely dangerous, as long as those apes are not careful, they will fall off the cliff and die. Slowly, the more you move forward, the more turbulent the river becomes, the reefs in the river are numerous, and the fighting boats will be destroyed and killed if they make a slight mistake. Meng Yanchi and his entourage no longer had the heart to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the Wuxia Gorge, and when they saw that the slender man on the boat needed help, they would help, and they didn't want to die in this Wushui. At this time, the slender man on the ship was also in good spirits, for fear that there would be a slight flaw. After the boat had gone some distance and there was no way to move forward, some of the sturdy boatmen on the boat took off their shirts and disembarked bare-chested, grabbed the ropes thrown from the boat and tied them around their waists, and dragged the bucket boat step by step towards the procession.

After a day and a half, the bucket boat arrived at a small beachhead, and Yu Weiran asked Meng Yanchi, Zong Zhao and others to abandon the boat and land on the shore, and ordered the boatman to wait for everyone to return here. Yu Weiran saw that it was getting late, so he rested in the tree camp on the beachhead flat, and the next day it was a little brighter, Yu Weiran woke everyone up and continued on the road.

Yu Weiran seems to be very familiar with the terrain here, and it didn't take much effort to find a path into Xiaowu Gorge, the scenery in Xiaowu Gorge can be said to be more than Wu Gorge, but the group only cared about the road and did not pay attention to the beauty of the two sides of the strait. After noon, everyone finally saw the peach grove that Yu Weiran said, and when they arrived at the edge of the peach grove, Yu Weiran said solemnly to everyone: "Lao Er has studied the formation of this peach forest, and it is very tight, and it is easy for us to fall into the formation if there are too many of us. After the two adults entered the woods, they must remember not to walk around, they must follow closely behind the little old man, otherwise it will be difficult to save the immortals who fall into the formation. Everyone agreed in unison.

This peach forest is really weird, Meng Yanchi and Zong Zhao followed Yu Weiran around and around behind him all afternoon, turning around, the two were dizzy and didn't know why, fortunately, Yu Weiran stayed awake, about two hours later, the three of them finally stepped out of the peach forest array and saw the waterhole on the three sides of the hanging wall, the three came to the edge of the pool and sat on the ground, Meng Yanchi took out some dry food and divided it among the two, Zong Zhao went to get some water and wrapped his stomach with dry food, Yu Weiran said while eating: "It is impossible for the three of us to enter the paradise of death, According to the temperament of the owner of the 'Reunion Mirror', I am afraid that I will wait and there will be no return, and I will have a full stomach later, General Meng Yan and General Zong will go to cut down some trees to make a raft, and we will put General Wei and the guqin on the raft and flow into the paradise with the water, and the villagers of Taoyuan Village will definitely send General Wei to the entrance of the 'Reunion Mirror' after discovering the raft, and the owner of the 'Reunion Mirror' will not have a reason to stand idly by when he sees the end of the Guqin. ”

Although Meng Yanchi was very worried, he had no other way but to obey Yu Weiran's orders.

Long Yi felt that his eyelids were extremely heavy, and he wanted to open them but couldn't. Through continuous efforts, Long Yi seemed to have used up all the strength of his body before he slowly opened his eyes, and the dazzling light stabbed Long Yi's eyes painfully, and Long Yi couldn't help but murmur softly. "Childe has been asleep for too long, and he can't get used to the dazzling light for a while, you slowly open your eyes and become familiar with it a few more times, and you'll be fine." An unfamiliar voice came into his ears, Long Yi didn't feel a little stupid, this person's voice was as clear and beautiful as Huang Que's first throat in the morning, the voice did not have the slightest impurity in the ears of the human ear is so relaxed, consciously and unconsciously, it seems to have forgotten all the troubles of the world, and the chest is empty. Long Yi was sure that this voice had never been heard before, but it felt so familiar in his heart, as if he was born familiar with the person's voice. Long Yi's curiosity was aroused, he hurriedly opened his eyes and blinked a few times, and then opened his eyes again after a while, only to see that he was lying on a strange bed, and there was a woman sitting in front of the bed, who couldn't tell her age, because she was wearing a white cloak on her head, and the white veil of the cloak hung down to her chest to cover her whole face tightly, and she was wearing a white dress like a light veil. I don't know what kind of herbs are burning in the incense burner on the windowsill next to the bed, and the faint smoke fills the whole room, making the white-gauze woman feel like she is in a fairyland. The white light outside the window fell on her body through the pane, like a ray of light. Behind the white-veiled woman stood two old women, one in blue and the other in purple. The white gauze woman stretched out her bare hand, and the white jade-like fingers pressed on the pulse of Long Yi's left hand, and after a short while, the white gauze woman said: "Childe's injury is getting better very quickly, and it should be healed after some time." Long Yi also remembered at this time that he killed himself when Shouyang was besieged by Shan Xingzhang, how could he come here? It should be that at that time, if they were injured to death, the brothers asked for a good doctor to heal themselves, and it made sense to think about it, and they wanted to sit up and thank the white gauze woman, but the action was too big and the wound was affected, and the painful "ouch" fell back again, and the white gauze woman's sleeve gently brushed Long Yi and said: "The son is injured in the body, so you don't have to be so polite." Long Yi saw that the white gauze woman waved her sleeves lightly, and a light fragrance rushed into her nostrils when she brushed it, the fragrance smelled so good, Long Yi couldn't help but take a few more sips greedily.

"You stinky man, so shameless, in this 'reunion mirror', how can you be disrespectful to Miss, see that I don't split you." The mother-in-law in purple clothes saw Long Yi's small movements in her eyes, and she was furious. Long Yi was so ashamed when he heard the scolding, he couldn't help but blush, and he couldn't stand up and had to bow his hand and say: "Senior Long Yi, thank you for the life-saving grace of the three seniors, such a great favor should have kowtowed to thank each other, but he was seriously injured, so he had to kowtow to his seniors after the injury was healed." ”

"Hmph, kowtow is over, how can it be so cheap, Miss, I said that men outside the world are so unkind, you don't believe it, now you can see it. That day, I said that you can't save this kid, let him fend for himself, you are soft-hearted, and try your best to save his life, so even the words of the old master were left behind, which made the old woman feel cold. The purple-clothed mother-in-law said with a pause. The blue-clothed mother-in-law next to her echoed: "Miss, I usually rely on you, but this time you treated this kid but committed the old master's deathbed request, the 'reunion mirror' must not take in people from outside the world, do you remember that you made an oath." ”

The woman in the white gauze said a little lonely: "I don't know, it's just that the book says that saving someone's life is better than the seventh-level Buddha slaughter, and I also know that the master repeatedly explained that outsiders are not allowed to enter the 'reunion mirror' when he is leaving, but he can't bear it, alas! I will never forget the oath I made in front of the portrait of my patriarch, and if that happens, I will do it. ”

"Alas! Injustice, injustice, Miss also saw the fate of the old master with her own eyes, and the old body didn't say much if she said more. After speaking, the purple-clothed mother-in-law stared at Long Yi fiercely and walked out of the house. The blue-clothed mother-in-law also sighed and followed.

Long Yi heard it in a fog, and stayed on the bed with his mouth open, and after the two mothers-in-law left the house, the Baisha woman had no intention of talking to Long Yi and sat alone. Long Yi thought about it carefully and finally understood a little, he didn't know how his brothers sent this "reunion mirror" to let the white gauze woman heal her injuries, and this "reunion mirror" was not allowed outsiders to come in, the three seniors saw that Long Yi was not yet dead and quarreled, the two mothers-in-law according to the ancient precept is to let Long Yi fend for himself, and will never approve of the white gauze woman to save her life, but the white gauze woman is a bodhisattva's heart, and she can't bear to save Long Yi's life, but the white gauze woman seems to have made some vows in front of the portrait of the ancestor master, which makes it difficult for the white gauze woman to be born.

Long Yi thought of this, and cautiously said to the white gauze woman: "Senior, junior makes it difficult for you. ”

The woman in the white gauze came back to her senses and said lightly: "Childe doesn't need to be polite, although I live outside the world, I also understand some truths from the book, saving people's lives is always a good thing to accumulate virtue and do good, that is, it is a little contrary to the rules in the 'Reunion Mirror', which makes it difficult for people." ”
