(There's another chapter in the evening.) ）

The group slowly went south along the Longxu River and the Tiefu River, but they traveled more than 60 miles a day, Li Baohua and Li Huai are children whose foot strength is different from ordinary people, although Lin Shouyi has worn out two pairs of straw sandals, and he is also a child of a rich family, but he does not want to admit defeat in front of the two children surnamed Li, so he just boiled up, and Chen Ping'an taught him the soil method of dressing his feet with herbs, after all, he gritted his teeth and survived, and there were white donkeys and horses in the team to help pack the goods, so it was not too difficult to walk.

Chen Ping'an admired the three children of Li Baohua very much in his heart, so the word study tour, as well as the title of reader, became more and more important in the minds of the straw sandals boy.

Longquan County belongs to Dali Yongjia County, a long time ago, all the dynasties of Dongbao Aquarius issued an edict together, if the counties and counties of the world have the dragon word, they all need to avoid modification, replaced by other words, and now Longquan County is estimated to be stained with the light of Lizhu Cave Sky, so as to make an exception.

The place where the Broken Cave Heaven has taken root, compared to the earlier suspended position, has shifted a lot to the south, and it is far from the Yefu Pass on the southern border of Dali, if the carriage and horses take the official road post road, it is actually only more than a month.

Zhu He is in the Li family on Fulu Street, he should have read a lot of private books and know a lot of things outside the door, Chen Ping'an has nothing to do with Zhu He to ask for advice, on the contrary, Zhu He is also willing to ask the young man about the rules and ways to enter the mountain and water, Ah Liang doesn't know why, he drinks more often, and he talks less, Lin Shouyi has been very close to Ah Liang since he drank the spirits in the silver gourd, and often asks him about things, and at the same time has a tendency to become a little drunkard.

In the small bookcase of Li Baohua, there is a painted version of the county and county atlas promulgated by the Dali Imperial Court, and it stands to reason that only the Prefecture Thorn History Office is qualified to archive the secret. According to the atlas, they will soon climb a mountain range called Qidun Mountain, which is more than 300 miles long, passing through four counties, including Yongjia and Baiyun.

The group rested at the foot of the mountain, Li Huai looked at the path that was no wider than the Dragon Lane, stunned, and then turned his head and scolded angrily: "Ah Liang! This is the post road you are talking about, the official horse avenue specially built by the Dali Imperial Court?

The post road, commonly known as the official horse avenue, connects all the counties and counties of a dynasty's territory with each other, the post road is like a human meridian, once blocked, it will be blocked by qi and blood, and if it is placed on the country, it is not a government decree.

Ah Liang sat on a rotten wooden pier on the side of the road, raised his head and drank wine, and said with a smile: "Post roads are also divided into grades, Yefu Pass on the southern border of Dali, there are three post roads leading to the north, and the Qidun Mountain Post Road is the smallest one, which is mostly used to use porcelain, Tea and refined salt, people used to come and go very lively, now a Lizhu cave sky so to the ground a fall, blocking the original north-south passage, this post road is temporarily abandoned and not used, cut off a lot of people's financial road, many goods are stagnant in the south foot of the Qidun Mountain Range at a water transport wharf, called Red Candle Town, well, the flower boats there, most of them are two or three people's boats, at night, the lights are bright, the sisters on the boat are very pretty, sitting in the bow or stern, a white flower thigh, so deliberately exposed to you, order a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts in the wine shops on both sides of the strait, you can watch a night in vain without spending money。 ”

The maidservant Zhu Lu hurriedly bent down to cover her young lady's ears, so as not to be polluted by the prodigal words of this disciple, and she said angrily: "We are not going to spend the night in that Red Candle Town!"

Ah Liang pointed to Chen Ping'an on the side with a wine gourd, and said with a smile: "If you don't stay overnight, you have to ask him, he is the God of Wealth who manages our money bags." ”

Zhu Lu's eyes were fierce and murderous, as if Chen Ping'an dared to nod her head and she dared to kill.

Chen Ping'an thought about it, and said with a serious face: "I must stay in the town and add some necessary items, as for whether I want to spend the night there, it depends on whether the inn and hostel over there charge money or not, there are many of us, if the price is not fair, we can only forget it." ”

Zhu Lu's face was gloomy and aggressive, "If it's cheap, we're going to live in that kind of dirty place with fireworks and powder?" Chen Ping'an! Have you ever thought about how my young lady, who is half a Confucian child and a student of the Mountain Cliff Academy, can live next to those immoral women, even if you can't see those disgusting pictures, you will always hear some unbearable sounds!"

Chen Ping'an replied stubbornly: "Let's talk about it when we get to the town." ”

Zhu Lu was furious, and Zhu He stopped his daughter, "Just according to what Ping An said, don't jump to conclusions, and look at it when we get there, we don't have to spend the night in Red Candle Town." ”

Zhu Lu stretched out his hand and pointed at Chen Ping'an, and said angrily: "Fortunately, you are not a scholar, otherwise those sage books would really be ashamed of you!"

Chen Ping'an was literate and literate with Li Baohua and Zhu He along the way, and looking at the righteous and awe-inspiring Zhu Lu, the young man was suddenly a little defeated.

The culprit, Ah Liang, gloated on the sidelines.

Zhu Lu finally glanced at the jasper hairpin on the young man's head, felt that it was really an eyesore, and sneered: "Mu monkey and crown!"

Zhu He shouted lightly: "Zhu Lu!"

Li Baohua and Lin Shouyi frowned at the same time.

Ah Liang took a lazy sip of wine, no matter how good the wine was, it didn't taste much if he kept drinking it, and when he thought of the new brewed Xinghuachun in Red Candle Town, he had some expectations, thinking about how to cheat some money from Chen Ping'an to get over his addiction.

Chen Ping'an wanted to speak and stopped, but finally did not speak, and silently led them up the mountain.

It's just that before entering the mountain, the straw sandals boy still bowed three times as before.

This is an old rule handed down by Old Man Yao, but he never explained the reason to Chen Ping'an, and Chen Ping'an has always followed it all these years.

Ah Liang scoffed at this, even if Chen Ping'an didn't want him to sit on the stump casually, he never paid attention to it, and sat down when he was tired, just like now.

Chen Ping'an is not the kind of person who likes to impose his preferences on others, after persuading him twice, Ah Liang has always gone his own way, so he will no longer dissuade him, and there is nothing wrong with doing it all the way, Chen Ping'an will not talk much.

The next section of the long mountain road, although it is a post road paved with many bluestones, is quite difficult.

In the twilight of spring, the mountains and wild grass and trees have no twilight atmosphere, the grass and trees are deep, the flowers and trees are blooming, and they are full of vitality, like this year's spring is particularly long, and they are reluctant to end.

The mountain road is crooked, spiraling upward, no matter how big or small, the legs are wrapped in cotton cloth to increase the strength of the feet, each holding a wooden cane, of course, there are straw sandals woven by Chen Ping'an himself, and even the father and daughter of Zhuhe Zhulu, who have several pairs of sturdy boots in their bags, are no exception.

Zhu Lu refused to live or die at first, disgusted too ugly and shabby, and then entered the mountain and encountered a rainy day, the mountain road was muddy, often the soles of the feet slipped, Zhu Lu was a martial artist who entered the house, although it was not dangerous, but it was also stumbling and embarrassed, and finally had to take straw sandals from her father's hands, silently put them on, Li Huai was secretly happy, and the girl who was annoyed and angry stepped on the mud with one foot, and the martial artist at the peak of the two realms stepped on it intentionally, and the natural momentum sank vigorously, splashing Li Huai's half of the mud on the spot.

The child was from a poor family, and he didn't bring a few changes of clothes, so he immediately poked at the sad place, crying profusely, and the panting Lin Shouyi didn't want to get involved in this mess, so he rolled his eyes when he stopped to rest. Zhu He is a simple person, even if he is already a martial artist of the Five Realms, he still has the patience to apologize to the child, and promised to go out of the mountain and enter the town, and he must buy him a whole set of new clothes, but the thing that the child cares about is that he is poor and pitiful, and when he sees that the servant girl has such a bad temper, he is still followed by a rich father, the child only feels that he was salted by the wound, crying more heartbreaking, stepping on the muddy ground with both feet, and soon like a little mud monkey, one and two, everyone is upset and irritable, Chen Ping'an went up to persuade, Li Huai did not want to listen, Chen Ping'an was soon involved in yellow mud, fortunately Chen Ping'an did not suffer any hardships, but not in a hurry, just a little helpless.

Zhu Lu took the opportunity to fan the flames, look, kindness is not rewarded, Chen Ping'an, you can quickly leave this heartless thing behind.

Li Huai cried even harder.

Li Baohua's loud scolding didn't work.

Chen Ping'an thought about it, and finally had to ask tentatively: "Li Huai, I'll go back and help you make a small bamboo box, what's the matter?"

The child immediately stopped crying, wiped away his tears and snot, and asked seriously, "How old?"

Chen Ping'an replied: "It can't be too big, you are small, you can't feel heavy on your back, if you don't agree, just when I don't say it, you continue to cry, and then we continue to hurry, follow up with you." ”

Li Huai grinned and said, "It's okay, you must make it beautiful! At least it must be as beautiful as Li Baohua's bookcase!"

Zhu Lu sighed: "The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, at a young age, I learned to cheat and deceive, what is the behavior of my father and mother, I don't know if I don't look at it." It's really a good family style!"

Li Huai, who was about to get the bamboo box, squeezed his eyebrows, and almost made Zhu Lu angry.

Chen Ping'an turned his head to Lin Shouyi and said, "Make a bookcase for you too?"

He smiled, "It's casual anyway." ”

Lin Shouyi was about to shake his head in refusal, but after hearing the words behind him, he hesitated and nodded.

The scene on the top of Qidun Mountain is extremely bizarre, like a huge threshing field common in a small town, the ground is flat, and when it rests here, it is like an immortal cutting off a towering mountain with a sword.

The children were excited, and even Zhu He looked at the north in the distance, and he was quite relaxed and happy, and he couldn't wait to let out a few long howls.

Chen Ping'an is a person who is used to seeing mountains, especially the last trip into the mountain, walking through the mountains step by step, but at this moment he looks relatively calm.

Tonight to spend the night on the top of the mountain, Zhuhe Zhulu began to set up tents, Li Huai and Lin Shouyi ran to pick up flammable firewood, Chen Ping'an and Li Baohua used stones to build a stove to cook, now a few bags of rice and dried vegetables have been eaten almost, it is indeed to find a downtown supply, Chen Ping'an for this to see medicinal materials along the way, so he took them off and put them in the back basket, because he is familiar with the road over the mountains and mountains, and his legs and feet are neat, even if he needs to detour to climb the cliff, he can quickly keep up with the team and will not delay the trip。

After eating rice with a few plates of pickled pickles, Ah Liang rebelled, and took Li Huai to knock on the white bowl with chopsticks, shouting that he wanted to eat meat.

Chen Ping'an nodded, and said that he would go to make a few traps tonight and see if he could catch a few mountain-jumping pheasants tomorrow morning to open the meat.

Snakes have snake roads, rats have rat roads, and animals on the mountains are like this, Chen Ping'an is no stranger to this, as long as you observe carefully, it is easy to find some routes for wild beasts in the mountains and forests to forage and drink, and small traps made of trees and stones are not complicated, practice makes perfect. In the dusk, the sky is full of colorful clouds, after the boy left the mountain top Daping alone to try his luck, it didn't take long to see the colorful clouds around the top of the mountain gathered and scattered, the speed was extremely fast, like the face of a naughty child, and everyone did not feel that the mountain wind was rapid, at the same time, the original dignified and refreshing mountain and river scene, to the heart of the people brought a haze of gloomy feeling.

This made Zhu He's mood heavy immediately, trying not to disturb the three students who gathered to recite books, and did not go to say hello to his daughter who was sitting alone on the cliff in a daze, Zhu He thought about it, came to no one's place, took out a yellowed ancient book in his arms, turned to the middle of the "mountain" page, his fingers stopped near the "Soil Trick", carefully browsed those bright red words that were as subtle as a fly's head, and turned a page, there were two patterns, one painted with the appearance of a hill, but the bottom of the mountain root was like a bamboo shoot, and the blank space next to it was annotated as "Taishan Fu" , a mysterious gesture of the seal of the hands.

Zhu He's expression was solemn, intermittent and silent, and constantly deepened his impression, "Take the east and south of the mountain, the soil of the east and south of the mountain, twist the word is the best, and the word twist the mountain can also be", "Burn a mountain rune, step on the word Kuigang, take a breath, you can borrow a mountain from the mountain god and the land, and the air and the earth are connected ......"

Closing the ancient book and carefully putting it back in his arms, Zhu He took out a piece of yellow paper from a stack of yellow talismans in his sleeve, and began to follow the records in the book to grab a handful of soil from the east and south of Shiping, and twisted out an ancient Yue character, that is, 嶽, and went up the mountain to prison. Zhu He was about to rub the yellow talisman given by the ancestor of the Li family in his hand, and was suddenly startled, it turned out that Ah Liang squatted next to him at some point, the latter carried the wine jug, and said with a smile: "The ordinary material in your hand is still good, but the talisman is not bad, and the paper material is as important as the root of a person, so it can not bear the weight of the word '嶽', so I advise you to write a Yue character on it, so you don't have to ask the god to succeed, and it annoys the mountain god." ”

After all, Zhu He was a little nervous when he came into contact with the legendary mountain spirit monster for the first time, and said softly: "Senior Ah Liang, does this Qidun Mountain really have that land or mountain god entrenched?

Ah Liang took a leisurely sip of wine and sneered: "Who told you that the land of the mountain gods must be people with good temperaments?"

Zhu He's face was full of astonishment, "Otherwise?"

Ah Liang said: "I just said it casually, God knows if the host's family here has a good or bad temper in hospitality." ”

Zhu He suddenly woke up and said, "It's not good, Chen Ping'an is not on the top of the mountain alone!"

Ah Liang nodded.

Zhu He hurriedly said: "Senior Ah Liang, you go to Chen Ping'an, I will continue to complete this trick of making a mountain, how about it? I, Zhu He, am only a martial artist of the Five Realms, and I am confident that I still have the strength to deal with worldly masters, but I really have no bottom in my heart to deal with those strange things." ”

Ah Liang got up with a smile, swaggered away, and said lightly, "Then be careful yourself." ”
