Qutang Pass, also known as "Kuimen", is the west entrance of the Three Gorges, after Kuimen, it enters the world-famous Three Gorges, has always been known as "Kuimen is the hero of the world", and "Emei is the world's show, Jianmen is dangerous in the world, Qingcheng is secluded in the world" and called the world's four strange. Kuimen is composed of Chijia Mountain in the north of the Yangtze River and Baiyan Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River. The name in the south is "Baiyan Mountain", and the north is called "Chijia Mountain". Jiajiang confrontation, rise from the ground, towering into the clouds, towering and grandiose, the two sides of the gorge river are the walls stand like cutting, just like the gate set up by heaven and earth, showing the state of wanting to merge but not combining, can be called the world's majestic pass. The ancients had a poem about Qu Tang and said: "Lock the water of the whole Sichuan and choke the throat of Bashu". The mountain cliff on the river bank here is more than 100 zhang high, but the river surface is only thirty or forty zhang wide, just like a huge stone gate, it can really be said that "two mountains are sandwiched like a door valve, a hole of strong wind comes out of it", "white salt red armor is male in the world, the ground is abrupt and the sky is rubbed", the soil and stone of the red armor mountain in the north are red, the white salt mountain on the south bank is gray and white, one red and one white, facing each other across the river, just like a red suit, a plain wrap, can be described as a wonder. Qiantang poet Saint Du Fu once had a poem: "All the water will be ten thousand, Qutang will fight for one door", a "fight" word, the scene of ten thousand rivers rushing into the paper jumps onto the paper. Even though Zhu Wenyu has been running a lot of places for more than a year, he is also drunk by the beautiful scenery in front of him. Tang Yun also got out of the cabin, took Zhu Wenyu's left hand, and stood side by side.

"Childe, Miss, stand firm, the water is fast here." That Chen Lian shouted.

Sure enough, the closer the passenger boat got closer to Kuimen, the more the water became more and more urgent, and the boat was like a leaf in the wind, going down with the waves, at this time the penny had long been unable to detect the bottom of the river, Chen Lian and the others could not slow down the castration of the boat except for a little stabilization of the hull with wooden oars and rudders, and involuntarily went down the faster and faster rushing river.

Tang Yun hugged Zhu Wenyu's arm tightly, and Zhu Wenyu had to sit down on the deck honestly, and let the boat take him to sway, at this time, you are the super-first-class master in the martial arts, the first person in the martial arts, and you have the extraordinary magical powers and means to enter the sainthood, and you can only listen to the river to sway you around, like a newborn baby, and there is no room to fight back. A person, even if you are the spirit of all things and the master of this human world, no matter how powerful and powerful you are, in front of this nature, you can only be a pawn who honestly resigns itself to the mercy of nature. At this time, Zhu Wenyu deeply felt the power of nature, and sighed a helpless helplessness that was dominated by others.

Entering the gate, the river is getting faster and faster, the boat is getting faster and faster, the green mountains on both sides are high and precipitous, bare and slippery, the apes are difficult to climb, straight into the water like a pillar, look up, in addition to a small piece of blue sky above the head, even the sun has been blocked behind the cliff, the cold wind on the river hunts, straight into the neck, Rao is Zhu Wenyu's internal strength is pure, but also does not feel a trace of cold, Tang Yun is close to Zhu Wenyu's side, and his body is almost stuck into Zhu Wenyu's arms.

The boatmen were all standing at the stern bow, standing or sitting, or paddle or penny, staring at the surface of the river, not daring to be negligent in the slightest, and from time to time adding an oar to this side, or deflecting a rudder to that side, or avoiding dark rocks, or dodging whirlpools, or far from the cliffs, in such a turbulent river, if there was the slightest carelessness, the ship might be smashed on the reef, or torn into several pieces by the current in the whirlpool, or even directly hit the stone cliffs on both sides, where the water is several feet deep, and the current is rapid, and once wrecked, the body will sink to the bottom of the river. Even the boatmen with excellent water properties are not spared, not to mention Zhu Wenyu and Tang Yun, two people who don't know the slightest bit of water nature? At this time, although Zhu Wenyu was first-class in martial arts, he couldn't help those shipwrights at all, so he could only stay in the cabin honestly, handing over his lives to these shipwrights and this passenger ship, where did he still have the heart to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the high cliffs on both sides of the strait? I wish this amazing journey passed as quickly as possible.

Passenger boats run down the river like galloping horses, almost several times faster than on normal days. It's no wonder that the river has never been wide, always only four or five zhang wide, as if the river is struggling to squeeze out a way in this group of mountains, always surrounded by mountains, unable to show their hands and feet, making this river as fast as a galloping horse, swarming down, making a huge sound of waves, Zhu Wenyu and Tang Yun sat in the cabin, their ears were almost deafening, but no one spoke, not that they didn't want to say, but because they also knew, even if they said each other, they couldn't hear it, and there was only the loud roar of the river between heaven and earth.

After walking for dozens of miles, I felt that the river suddenly widened a lot, and the river eased down, just as from a reckless hero suddenly became a boudoir show girl, and the rushing waves suddenly calmed down into a slowly and gently flowing river, and the voice suddenly lowered.

Zhu Wenyu felt strange and poked his head out of the cabin: "Brother Chen, where are you?" ”

"Childe, after passing Qutang Gorge, there is Wushan County in front of you." Chen Lian turned around and said.

"So fast?" Zhu Wenyu was surprised, looking at the sky, it was not yet noon, and only an hour and a half had passed.

"Yes, Childe, today is fine, nothing went wrong, the brothers are working hard, and the weather is good. So it's pretty smooth. ”

"Is that smooth? What about when things don't go well? ”

"When things don't go well, the boat is stuck in the whirlpool and is spinning, but it can't turn out, people can get dizzy, and if you don't pay attention, you have to fall into the river. If it goes into the dark again, then it can only be blessed by the Bodhisattva, and no one can guarantee whether there is a life to come out, touch it on the reef or knock it on the cliff, and it will be ironclad to go to the water dragon king as a guest. ”

Tang Yun listened bluntly: "I knew this, I really didn't dare to sit down." ”

"Today is the blessing of Miss Tuo Gongzi, smooth sailing, smooth and smooth, I came over, nothing was delayed, Miss Gongzi can have a good rest in Wushan County today, tomorrow we will anchor and go to Wuxia, it will be much better."

"Brother Chen, isn't it early today? Not leaving? "Zhu Wenyu saw that it was still early, and he thought that this Chen Lianhui would also pass Wuxia today.

"Childe, after entering Wuxia, there is no anchor place for more than 100 miles of waterway, you have to go in one go, if you go now, you won't be able to get out of Wuxia tonight, the boss is not here, and the small one doesn't dare to take a night boat in Wuxia. Tomorrow morning, the day will be over. Chen Lian said honestly.

"Oh." Zhu Wenyu was stunned.

"Is Wuxia also like this Qutang Gorge? What's so nice about that? Tang Yun still had lingering palpitations about the Qutang Gorge that Fang had just passed.

"Miss, this Wuxia is different from Qutang Gorge, it is beautiful, the water is wide and stable, and the Goddess Peak and Feifeng Peak on both sides are all excellent scenery. Miss sure I like it. Chen Lian said with a smile.

"Really? Brother Yu, then let's take a good look tomorrow. ”

"Hehe, okay, listen to you, but I have to rest tonight, and I won't be sleepy tomorrow, hehe." Zhu Wenyu felt sorry for Tang Yun when he had just crossed Qutang Gorge, and when he heard Tang Yun say this, he was full of promises.

"Brother Yu, where are we going to rest tonight?"

"Let's find an inn on the docks." Zhu Wenyu thought about it. During these days, the two of them always slept in the cabin, and they did not rest well, but it was a good opportunity to go ashore and rest for one night.

"Then let's dock." Tang Yun said happily.

When the passenger ship docked, Tang Yun couldn't wait to jump up the stone steps, but suddenly stumbled under his feet and almost fell, Zhu Wenyu jumped up, and he couldn't help but fall, and he was busy calming down before he stood firm.

"Childe, miss, it's like this to stay on the boat for a long time and go ashore, it'll be fine for a while." Looking at Tang Yun's confused eyes, Chen Lian on the boat smiled.

Zhu Wenyu knew that it was because the two of them were used to the shaking deck on the ship, and as soon as they stepped on the solid soil, they were not used to it, as if they had just stepped on the deck from the shore, and they were also easy to fall. He had seen this in a book a long time ago, but today it was the first time he had encountered it in person, and sure enough, it was so.

This Wushan county is located in the Three Gorges, there are few tourists, there are not many inns, Zhu Tang and the two finally found a slightly cleaner inn and booked two rooms.

As soon as the room was booked, Tang Yun clamored to go out for a walk. Zhu Wenyu saw that it was still early, Tang Yun was very interested, and felt sorry for her injury, besides, this is a riverside town in the Three Gorges, located in a remote area, and he will not meet anyone from the Tianyi League again, so he also smiled and agreed, and the two walked out of the inn again.

Who knows that this place is very remote, except for the surrounding mountains, there is no famous scenery, and even the only Taoist temple is in tatters, and there is not much to see. It's just that Zhu Wenyu was born in the palace from the Central Plains, and such a thousand mountain scenery still looks interesting, as for Tang Yun, although he is a person from Sichuan, he is used to seeing mountains and obstacles, but as long as the lover is by his side, he is also affectionate and sweet, and he has no sense of boredom.

The two walked side by side, talking and laughing, and for a while they really forgot the troubles of the world, leaving only the spring waves and green grass, willow leaves and peach forests. "The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom." Zhu Wenyu couldn't help blurting out when he saw the new buds on the peach tree first blooming, and the cool breeze revealed the inexhaustible spring.
