Chapter 22: Phoenix Mountain
Outstanding.
Famous mountains and resorts are always a place to raise people, and they are also the easiest to produce heroes.
Phoenix Mountain.
A name that makes all the people in the rivers and lakes awe-inspired.
Because these three words are closely associated with a martial arts family, that is, the Tang Sect.
On the land of China, there are many Phoenix Mountains.
But in the martial arts, there is only one Phoenix Mountain.
This Phoenix Mountain naturally refers to the Phoenix Mountain where the Tang Gate is located.
This Phoenix Mountain may not be a real famous mountain, but it is a real famous place and a real hero's land. Not only have countless heroes of the Tang Gate walked out here, but Zhang Xianzhong, the leader of the peasant uprising in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, was also martyred here.
On December 1, the 3rd year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong died in the arrow ridge of Phoenix Mountain. The Tang Sect was also suppressed and hunted down by the Qing court for supporting the rebel army to resist the Qing Dynasty, and since then it has been in a slump and has never regained its former majesty. After the masters of the Tang Sect wandered all over the rivers and lakes, most of their descendants regarded themselves as descendants of the Tang Sect, but no one could reproduce the heroic nature of the Tang Sect in the past.
Phoenix Mountain, located in the territory of Xichong County, Shunqing Prefecture, winds for dozens of miles, like a phoenix, hence the name.
There is a beautiful legend about the name of Phoenix Mountain.
According to legend, a long time ago, there was a rich girl who was both talented and beautiful to play in Phoenix Mountain, and met a scholar who sold paintings. When he passed by the Jiajiang River, he saw the river reflecting the gorge, and the fishermen on both sides of the river were fishing, that is, the mouth was suddenly opened, and he hurriedly returned, and the woman said the next couplet, "Two fishermen on both sides of the Jiajiang River are fishing".
Since then, the two have answered each other in poetry and painting, and their love is deep. When the woman's father learned about it, he thought that the scholar was poor, and designed to drown the scholar in the garden lotus pond, and the woman committed suicide after knowing it. However, the scholar did not die, and after escaping, he learned of the woman's death, so he painted her portrait on the signboard and paid tribute day and night, thus moving the heavens, and the woman was able to return to her soul and marry the scholar.
The woman's father regarded the two as demons, and was very frightened, and sent someone to arrest them, just when the two had no way to escape, they suddenly saw the golden light shining, the scholar feathered into a phoenix, and the woman was a phoenix, both perched on the yellow cypress tree, and screamed, and his father cut down the yellow cypress tree, and the phoenix had to fly to the southeast and inhabit a high mountain. This mountain was named Phoenix Mountain.
According to the people of the Tang Sect, this legend is related to Tang Xian, the ancestor of the Tang Sect. It's just that after many years, even the elders in the Tang Sect can't remember the original appearance of this story.
On the east, south and west sides of Phoenix Mountain, there is a stone gate built on each side, the surrounding cliffs, only a sheep intestine path can pass, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is the trend of "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open". The top of the mountain is flat land, covering an area of more than 100 acres, which is the mansion of the Tang Gate, but now it has been covered by dense forests. This was the camping place of Zhang Xianzhong's army, so it is also called "camp land", the peak is also renamed "flag planting mountain", and there is a natural boulder standing, which is the place where the flag is planted, named the general stone. These names were named after the departure of the Tang Sect and the arrival of Zhang Xianzhong.
The destination of the fifth line was Phoenix Mountain, because he was the messenger of King Xiao and first came to the Tang Gate to make an unannounced visit.
Waiting for others is something that everyone is very tired of. If you don't even know when the person you're waiting for will come, you'll be more irritable.
Wu Zhizhi has never had a good temperament, not to mention that she has never waited for anyone at all. Last time in King Xiao's Mansion, even if it was her own imperial brother, she didn't want to wait longer, let alone a fifth line.
In the woods, it was the fifth line that deliberately made her lost. This time, she and Hua'er followed the path pointed out in the fifth line, and sure enough, they came to a market town. They waited there until dawn, but the fifth row did not appear. So they had to find a small noodle restaurant to fill their stomachs first, while continuing to wait for the fifth line.
Wu Zhizhi waited impatiently, and said hurriedly: "Is the stingy ghost not coming?" He won't leave us alone again! ”
Hua'er replied, "No." The fifth young man is a hero in the rivers and lakes, and he naturally speaks with all his words. He told us to wait, and it will come. ”
Wu Zhizhi said angrily: "What kind of hero is he?" It's just a stingy ghost, and he shakes his face at every turn. ”
The three of them were ashamed of her and said, "Since he is not a good man, why does the young lady still follow him?" ”
Wu Zhizhi quibbled: "I...... I just want him to take me on a walk or they won't let me out. The "they" in her mouth naturally referred to the Queen Mother and King Xiao, she almost suffered a loss, and her tone became tighter.
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.
They were talking about the fifth line, and the fifth line was there.
Wu Zhizhi was the first to notice that the eyes of the fifth line were bloodshot, and the eye sockets were also swollen so big, and he immediately said with schadenfreude: "Stingy ghost, why are your eyes so red?" Are you crying? Ah! You're going to cry too! Were you beaten and cried by the thief? ”
The fifth line failed to catch Shen Yue, and he was angry in his heart, but at this time, he was provoked by her, and his anger suddenly exploded, and he said fiercely to her: "Isn't it funny?" If you laugh again, get out of here. ”
Wu Zhizhi had been reprimanded like this, and even the tone of the Queen Mother and King Xiao had never been so heavy. But because the person who reprimanded her was the fifth line, although Wu Zhizhi was unhappy in her heart, she could only endure it. She only said "stingy", and then pretended to be angry, and tilted her head to the side, but the fifth line didn't seem to be seen at all.
Of course, Hua'er knew that the fifth line would not cry, so she said: "Fifth young man, don't be angry, my young lady also cares about you!" What's going on with your eyes? ”
The fifth line also felt that his tone was a little heavy just now, but he was embarrassed to apologize to Wu Zhizhi in front of the three of them, and only whispered three words: "Lime powder." ”
The three of them immediately sighed: "This lewd thief is so despicable, he actually uses this kind of indiscriminate hand breaking." ”
Wu Zhizhi complained: "If we were here, we would be able to take the thief." ”
The fifth line retorted: "If you were here, you would have been taken away by him at this moment and sold in the kiln as the number one card!" ”
Hua'er also agreed: "Miss, the fifth young man is right. The prostitutes are not only high in martial arts, but also unique in the world in terms of escape skills. Although the fifth young man's martial arts are above him, he can't outrun him. If you're here, you're probably in real danger. ”
The fifth line does not deny it, because he really can't run the application.
After this incident, Wu Zhizhi finally understood that the kung fu he had learned before was all fancy fists and embroidered legs. When it comes to the critical moment, it is useless.
Thinking of this, she didn't feel funny herself, so she said angrily: "I'm just bad, not so bad!" ”
When the three of them heard this, they all laughed. The fifth line is indeed happy in his heart, but he does not show it on his face. He said lightly: "If you don't have any skills, who dares to come out and break into the rivers and lakes, you think they are all like you!" ”
The fifth line whispered to Hua'er: "I didn't expect you to be King Xiao's person." ”
Hua'er was wrong, and only said: "The prince didn't believe in the young man very much that day, so he asked the slave to test it." ”
The fifth line said: "Understand, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years!" When you're done eating, everyone is on the road. ”
Wu Zhizhi and the others had already eaten, so they continued to drive the horse west with the fifth line.
The fifth line took the lead and deliberately said to Wu Zhizhi: "Follow up this time!" If the thief takes off your clothes again, I won't care. ”
Wu Zhizhi said: "As long as you don't make it bad, you won't lose it." What I thought of was another sentence: "I am naturally afraid of being taken off by others, but I am not afraid of being taken off by you." She suddenly came back to her senses and found that she had moved her heart again, and her face couldn't help but turn red immediately.
The fifth line galloped wildly, but there was another thing in his heart: "Shen Yue is just a flower thief, then his target is naturally Zhizhi and Hua'er and others, that is to say, after they appeared, Shen Yue began to target us." But who were those eyes before this? Who is the person on the roof of King Xiao's Mansion? He's been with me for so long, I can't even find him, this man must be very good. ”
With these questions, the fifth line and Wu Zhizhi and his party rushed to the Tangmen Gate in Sichuan, and the destination was Phoenix Mountain.
