On this day, the sky was clear and the wind was beautiful. It has been more than a month since Yu Zijun said goodbye to his parents and left home! Like catkins fluttering in the wind.

Stop-and-go along the way, wandering aimlessly. Until he met a group of pilgrims, Yu Zijun changed from an atheist to a devout believer!

Joined the 'Pilgrimage to the West', which went from being restless and confused at the beginning to finally being redeemed. In order to be a pilgrim of fate, one step at a time, step by step without a sense of guilt! It is to reach the holy place of the heart 'Kunlun Mountain'.

Kunlun Mountain, this is a sacred place belonging to the true, brave, pilgrims, and the last palace of the god of the soul! It stands high above the clouds, serene and confident. Ancient mythology believes that there is a fairy "Queen Mother of the West" living in Kunlun Mountain, with a human head and a leopard body, served by two blue birds, and is the righteous god of Taoism.

However, Yu Zijun doesn't know much about these. The impression of the "Queen Mother of the West" in his mind is a childhood memory. Mid-Autumn Festival, in the small courtyard of his house. Mother will tell stories to herself, and the most she tells is "Chang'e Running to the Moon", and "Queen Mother of the West" did not leave a good impression in Yu Zijun's memory! When I was a child, I also thought that the "Queen Mother of the West" was the culprit who broke up the big heroes "Hou Yi" and "Chang'e", the hard-working mandarin ducks! It's a little childish and ridiculous to think about it now......

At this moment, Yu Zijun has become a devout pilgrim towards the former residence of the "Queen Mother of the West". Along the way, the soul was cleansed. Looking at the beautiful Hoh Xil, my heart was full of emotion. I really want to take my wife and children on a trip! It's a pity that the scenery is still the same, and the beautiful woman has passed away......

I don't know how long it took, and I don't know how many times I kowtowed. Yu Zijun only remembered that he was tired and fainted three times, and he was rescued by a passing truck driver! Every time, some supplies would be left, which allowed Yu Zijun to persevere. Come to the foot of Kunlun Mountain, the holy land in your heart.

Looking at the rough and majestic mountains, Yu Zijun did not stop! In front of him was the checkpoint guarded by the soldiers, and Yu Zijun continued his pilgrimage as if he hadn't seen it!

Until the soldiers in front shouted at Yu Zijun: "Comrade, the front is a forbidden area." Your pilgrimage is over! ”

In the face of the "Death Valley" of Kunlun Mountain, one of the "top ten forbidden places in the world", Yu Zijun did not feel afraid. It's like hearing someone whispering! Tell yourself that you are just one small step away and your regrets can be made up! This made Yu Zijun even more determined to continue his pilgrimage!

Facing the soldiers who defended the country, Yu Zijun silently recounted his experience. Implore the other person to let themselves go one more minute!

Several soldiers were moved when they heard what happened to Yu Zijun! One of them reported to his superiors that he hoped to allow the gray-haired pilgrim to continue his journey for some distance!

After waiting for a while, a commander came to Yu Zijun with the reported soldier and said, "Comrade, I am very sympathetic to your experience, but there is a forbidden area ahead. My duty tells me that I shouldn't agree to your request, but I've seen you go through all the hardships along the way! It's just one small step away from perfect, and I can't bear it. So be it! I followed you with a few warriors, and you continued the pilgrimage in front, what do you think? ”

With permission, Yu Zijun clasped his hands together, and his palms were slightly empty to his heart. A few words of the most pious wishes! Then silently walked forward step by step.

Several soldiers in the back also followed. Looking at the white-haired Yu Zijun in front of him, he also had mixed feelings in his heart! It can be seen from the other party's face that the other party is not too old. But what happened to him hit him too hard! After this pilgrimage, I hope that the other party can live well!

From afternoon to evening, Yu Zijun felt numb! I saw that there was a poplar tree that had been dead for an unknown amount of time in the two mountain passes in front of me, and I was ready to go over and take a rest!

The soldiers who followed behind looked at Yu Xijun and continued to move forward. He stepped forward to stop him: "Comrade, I really can't go anymore!" It's really not safe to cross the mountain pass ahead! ”

Yu Zijun looked at the other party and said, "Don't worry, my destination has arrived." I just wanted to rest under that poplar tree. ”

Hearing the other party's reply, several fighters did not say much! Silently follow behind, in case this pilgrim can't think of rushing into the valley of death to die!

Come under the tree and sit down on a raised stone next to you. Yu Zijun took out water and food and distributed them to several dutiful warriors in front of him!

However, the other party only drank some of the water he brought, and stood silently to the side, staring at the pilgrim in front of him! Fear of unexpected situations on the other side!

Yu Zijun saw that the other party had been holding himself tightly, and then comforted him. "Don't worry, I've come out of the shadows of the past! This pilgrimage is the path of salvation for me! ”

The servicemen silently look at each other and be a faithful listener! I didn't bother the other party with my words.

Yu Zijun didn't wait for a reply, he immersed himself in his own world, and Li continued to talk to himself. Silently tell the bits and pieces of his lover and children!

One will cry and the other will laugh, like a madman, yelling and screaming!

A little warrior who wants to step forward. But he was stopped by the non-commissioned officer and said: "Don't bother him, this pilgrimage is just salvation." Now is the time to vent the pent-up sadness! The little warrior understood as soon as he heard this, and gave up his reckless behavior.

Just such a madman venting his emotions loudly at the dead poplar! Several servicemen listened silently.

I don't know how long it took, Yu Zijun came back to his senses. Looking up at the starry sky, I knew it was time to go back! Parents should be in a hurry at home!

He said to several soldiers: "Let's go!" Let's go back! I've let it go, and my parents are still waiting for the wanderer to return. ”

Hearing his words, the non-commissioned officer's heart relaxed, and he ordered: "Stand upright, take a break, salute, and finish the salute." Turn back and walk in unison. ”

Yu Zijun didn't know what reason he let these soldiers salute him? But he still stood up and returned a standard military salute.

Looking at the soldiers who were walking back to their posts, I couldn't help but feel a sense of respect in my heart! They are like poplars that have died for thousands of years! No matter what hardships they encounter, they stick to this barren land. Their posture is as tall and strong as a dead poplar!

Relax and start packing up your food and getting ready to go home!

At this moment, the unexpected came, and the nerves that had been tense for a long time relaxed. Coupled with the fatigue along the way, I only felt that my legs and feet were weak. Leaning forward, his head just hit the raised stone he had just sat on and he passed out! The blood on Yu Zijun's head kept flowing out, but it didn't flow everywhere. Instead, it was like being guided, quickly absorbed by the raised stone, but only a few breaths! Yu Zijun was sucked off half of his blood, and just when Yu Zijun's life was dying, the stone slowly emitted a nine-colored light! At the same time, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and lightning flickered. A thunderbolt slashed down! The nine-colored stone quickly revealed its true face and turned into a foot-long nine-colored jade Ruyi. Wrapped in Yu Zijun's soul soared away!

The soldiers heard the movement and quickly returned to save the people, but unfortunately only a charred corpse was left in the same place! The non-commissioned officer saw that everything on the deceased was no longer visible! Directly ordered to be buried on the spot, as for whether to inform his family? This made several people hesitate! Through the description of the deceased, this family is already full of holes, if this bad news is passed back again, I don't know if the only remaining two elders can withstand this blow!

In the end, the non-commissioned officer ordered to hide it for as long as he could. At least the elderly parents in Yu Zijun's family still have hope and hope to live! If it had been announced directly, the non-commissioned officer really could not imagine what would have happened!

Several soldiers looked at the lonely grave under the poplar and couldn't help but sigh with emotion! A simple military-style funeral that saw off a devout pilgrim! Here he should be able to sleep peacefully!

A few people looked up at the stars in the sky, and the little soldier asked, "Captain, did you say that their family was reunited in the sky?" ”

No one answered his question, and it was as if a few people acquiesced to his statement. ......

The captain ordered: "Stand upright, take a break, salute, and finish." Turn back and walk in unison. "This time, I'm really going back, but there is one less sad and frustrated person than when I came! A few people gradually drifted away, leaving a lonely grave in the wilderness with poplar as a companion!
