One day, two days, three days.

Sun Li walked for three days and nights, and finally came to the front of a mountain forest, and then met a woodcutter who was chopping wood.

The woodcutter was five big and three thick, shirtless, wielding a huge iron axe of more than ten catties, constantly chopping, and there was a domineering spirit in the sawdust splashing, which was unique to the good style of chopping wood for more than ten years.

Sun Li's eyes flashed slightly, and he slowly walked in front of the other party, and asked slightly respectfully, "This big brother, borrow ...... to ask?"

As a result, before Sun Li could say anything, he was interrupted by the woodcutter.

The woodcutter put away the swinging iron axe, turned his head to look at it, and said, "You must be asking for directions, haha!"

"Definitely. ”

"I know, I know what you're going to ask by looking at you, you know, I'm no ordinary woodcutter!" said the woodcutter proudly.

"Oh. Sun Li looked at each other with a strange gaze and asked, "Then ...... here?"

"This is Diaoxi Mountain. The woodcutter replied, and explained very knowledgeably, "Actually, this place was not originally called Diaoxi Mountain, but called Heart Mountain." It was only later that people disliked the name of the heart mountain and changed it to fishing stream mountain, which was based on the heart word puzzle 'half hook bright moon fishing clear stream'. To be honest, people are just seeking a mystery, a freshness and refinement, and there is no need to delve into the truth. ”

"Oh. Sun Li looked at the woodcutter and nodded, then was slightly stunned.

Woodcutter, to be honest, I have seen a lot, but it is the first time I have seen a woodcutter like the one in front of me who is so proud, so knowledgeable, and able to tell things the truth.

The woodcutter seemed to be able to read minds, and when he saw that Sun Li didn't speak, he immediately laughed, "How is it, do you think that I am only eight years old and five cars of learning, so I am frightened?"

It's a bit too much to describe yourself like this, right? Sun Li thought secretly in his heart.

But Sun Li looked at the woodcutter and replied seriously, "It's a little strange, but it's more that it's strange why you're just a woodcutter?"

"What do you mean?"

"As the saying goes, everything is inferior, only reading is high. Since you're ...... Well...... Why don't you get famous?"

"It's not just life forcing it. The woodcutter sighed and said, "Our great country is in the land of ten battles externally, and it is even more demonic and disorderly internally, and it has always been heavy on military force and light on literature." I would like to make a name for myself, but I don't have as much money as I get from chopping wood. ”

Sun Li frowned slightly: "Although it is said that martial arts are valued over literature, no matter how much emphasis is placed on it, governing the country also requires scholars who have helped the people through the world, right? Correspondingly, in the troubled times, scholars are very scarce, as long as there is a little talent to learn, it should be more useful, how can it be inferior to a woodcutter?"

When the words fell, the woodcutter glared at him, and said angrily: "Boy, what do you mean by this?

"It's not ......," Sun explained.

And before he could finish explaining, the woodcutter shouted: "Good boy, since you don't believe it, I'll let you see what it means to be talented and rich." Now, I'm going to show you the ability to make a poem in seven steps. ”

"This ......" Sun Li looked at the woodcutter and was stunned for the third time.

But the woodcutter didn't pay much attention at all, just took one step and recited aloud, "Yellow Spring and Cangming!"

Majestic!

Taking another step, the woodcutter continued: "Hello and I love!"

The artistic conception has been completed, and there is quite a good and vast ancient style.

Finally, the woodcutter took the third step, "Look!"

The word "view" is like a top-notch green bamboo, rising step by step, reaching the sky, and then ......

And then there was no then......

I saw that when the woodcutter was reciting the word "view", he suddenly got stuck, dragging a long tone, and he couldn't pronounce the next word for a long time, and his face was already red, and he didn't know whether he was suffocated or annoyed.

"Look, look, look!" the woodcutter kept shouting, but he really just couldn't see it.

Sun Li looked at the woodcutter and couldn't help laughing, and his bad mood before because the old shipowner was killed was also relieved. Although I don't know if the woodcutter in front of him is really talented and rich, but the other party is indeed a living treasure.

And seeing Sun Li laughing, the living treasure woodcutter was even more angry, his eyes widened, like a copper bell, pulling his neck and shouting, "Boy, what are you laughing at, I can't do it today because ...... It's because I didn't eat in the morning. Yes, it's because I didn't eat in the morning that I can't write poetry, and I'll show you tomorrow when I'm full. ”

"Huh. Sun Li laughed again, and was about to make fun of the other party, but suddenly his mind moved, remembering a poem he had read. Although it doesn't match the other party's pronunciation before, the rhyme is the same, and I can't help but read it directly.

"Huangquan and Cangming, long and self-loving...... Well...... Watching chess is rotten, logging Ding Ding, Yunbian Gukou Xu Xing, selling salary and wine, laughing and self-indulgence. The autumn is high, and the pine roots of the moon pillow are bright. Recognize the old forest, climb the cliff and cross the ridge, and break the withered vine with an axe.

Harvest into a load, in the song market, easy rice three liters. There is no competition, the price is mediocre, there will be no clever calculations, no honor and disgrace, and tranquility will prolong life. Where they meet, they are not immortals, and they sit quietly and talk about the Yellow Court. Where they meet, they are not immortals, and they sit quietly and talk about the Yellow Court. ”

"Huh?" the woodcutter's eyes glared again, almost fell out, stared at Sun Li deadly, and said with some annoyance, "You...... You kid, you make fun of me, I ...... I ......"

As soon as Sun Li saw it, he knew that the woodcutter's temper was not very good, and if he continued to stimulate it, he was afraid that it would be possible to swing an axe and cut people, so he immediately restrained his expression, no longer stimulated, and changed the topic and asked, "That...... By the way, Brother Woodcutter, you said before that this is Diaoxi Mountain, so I want to ask, are there any masters near this Diaoyu Creek Mountain?"

Finding a master is Sun Li's goal.

There are many kinds of high-ranking people, either really high or falsely high, but without exception, they can all come into contact with or are themselves upper-class. And himself, only by borrowing people from the upper class, can he use the fastest speed to get ships and caravans to Datang.

"Huhu, huhu", the woodcutter gasped, obviously still breathing, but he didn't ignore it, listened to the question, and also got off the donkey down the slope, "The master? Of course there is a master, there is a great person who cultivates immortals on the top of Diaoxi Mountain." I haven't seen his true face, but I've seen a few of his very capable disciples, and any one of them can subdue demons and eliminate demons. ”

Well, that's him. Sun Li was sure in his heart, thanked the woodcutter, and walked away.

As a result, at this time, the woodcutter spoke again, "Boy, don't be in a hurry to go, you only know that the real person is on the top of the mountain, but do you know the way up the mountain? Let me tell you, this fishing mountain doesn't look big on the outside, but it is complicated with nine twists and eighteen bends inside, if you walk blindly, even if you can fly, you will get lost!"

"Huh?" Sun Li stopped, looked at the woodcutter, arched his hand and whispered, "Then please tell the woodcutter." ”

"Yes, you can. The woodcutter walked more than a hundred paces, and then pointed to a fork in the road and began, "Do you see the four roads at the fork? But the road to the east is shorter and easier to walk, and I want you to take this road. Of course, if you don't believe me, I'll just say nothing. ”

Sun Li looked at the woodcutter and found that the other party's face was full of evil smiles.

This is a problem for yourself.

To believe or not to believe? to take this road or that way? Or to take none of these paths, to take the middle one?

This is obviously a woodcutter, obsessed with what happened before, and he is stumbling on himself. Sun Li understood very well in his heart.

However, Sun Li did not hesitate much, but simply solved the problem, took a step, and walked up the mountain road to the east.

What are you afraid of!

I am still afraid of taking the wrong road and being tired? Half a year of sea travel has come over, and I am afraid of a little mountain road?

And watching Sun Li's figure disappear into the distance, the woodcutter's gaze was a little complicated, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then he picked up the iron axe with little interest, continued to chop wood, and said to himself while chopping: "Okay, you kid is honest, I think I can be trusted, and I took the road to the east." Otherwise, if you take the western road, it will not be a question of the distance, but a question of whether you will be hurt and sinned by the thorns everywhere!

Sun Li naturally didn't know this, he just walked straight ahead, walked more than 3,000 steps, and the scenery in front of him changed, and a clear and gurgling mountain stream appeared.

On the side of the mountain stream, an old man with fairy wind bones was sitting cross-legged on a huge bluestone, his eyes half-open and half-closed, napping. In one hand, he holds a withered bamboo rod with a long silk thread wrapped around it. At the end of the thread, however, there was no hook, let alone sinking into the water—unusually a few feet above the surface, rippling in the air in the wind.

Mountain stream, old man, fishing, no hook?

Sun Li looked at each other, his eyes suddenly narrowed. Could it be that this is what the woodcutter said, the big real person in the fishing stream and mountain?
