Qingcheng Mountain is in the dilapidated Taoist temple.

Shen Jin'an and the others gathered around a freshly lit fire.

"Little Wuzi, go catch some game and come back, fight tooth sacrifices, just eat some dry food and rice porridge every day, this stomach is almost out of oil and water." Shen Jin'an whispered to the little five sons next to him.

Xiao Wuzi didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, and then his figure jumped and disappeared into the dense forest.

For the little five sons of the marksman, catching some game live fish is a handy job.

"With such a small deer, you can handle it." Although Lu Jiangnan has been wandering in the rivers and lakes for many years, he is still a daughter's family after all, and he still can't bear to start with some old and young things.

Shen Jin'an made a look, and Xiao Wuzi carried the deer to find a stream next to it and began to deal with it.

"Everything is the survival of the fittest, and for deer, both young and old are just food for the hunter's mouth. Those old foxes and wolves, if they can't catch adult deer, then they can wait quietly to die? Shen Jinan asked rhetorically.

Lu Jiangnan was speechless when asked, and Lu Jiangnan, who knew that he was a little wrong, took out some cooking cakes from the dry food bag and stuffed them into his mouth.

In half an hour, Xiao Wuzi disposed of the deer's corpse, for Xiao Wuzi, a Northern Yan soldier who lives in the frontier all the year round, dealing with a dead animal, isn't it very simple?

Shen Jin'an skewered the venison divided into several pieces with stripped branches, stuffed some wild fruits into it, and hung it on the fire to roast.

"Qingcheng Mountain is steep and steep, and apes are clustered, according to Xu Ke's "Atlas". This wild fruit called passion fruit is the most favorite food of the apes here, this fruit has seeds in the syrup water, once it is stuffed into the meat and is roasted and matured, it will spread out, and the slurry will spread the venison evenly, and the meat has a fresh fragrance, which is not experienced by ordinary people. You'll know it after a while, but remind a few of you, eating too much meat at night is easy to accumulate, be careful of indigestion. ”

Lu Jiangnan was going to refuse at first, because she felt that this kind of thing that hurt the heavens was always bad, but she still couldn't hold on in front of the smell of barbecue, so she had to sit in front of the clay sculpture behind Shen Jin'an with both hands to protect her chest for the sake of face.

Tang Wuxin was fearless, lying on the ground next to the fire, and the two chains in his hands also happened to become his pillow.

Xiao Wuzi leaned against the gate of the Taoist temple with a vigilant face, listening attentively, for fear that something unexpected would happen.

The fat on the venison drips off as the temperature rises, and it makes a stinging sound when it falls on the fire.

For half an hour, none of the four took the lead in speaking.

When the aroma was overflowing, Shen Jin'an cut off a piece of venison with a knife and said, "Don't be idle, come and eat some, the taste is really good, believe in my craftsmanship." ”

Everyone took the venison and devoured it, and Lu Jiangnan's appearance of wanting to eat but couldn't pull his face was completely seen by Shen Jin'an.

Shen Jin'an was not in a hurry to hand Lu Jiangnan a piece of venison, but picked it up and looked at it and said: "It's a pity, there are always people who don't have this kind of delicious barbecue, if it is placed in the Jiangnan area, such a piece of meat will not be sold for a tael of silver?" ”

Lu Jiangnan was only swallowed by his saliva, but he was still indifferent.

Shen Jinan shook his head and said: "Eat, the deer is dead anyway, even if there is a criminal law, when you get to the underworld, we will fight for you." ”

Shen Jin'an had already given the steps, and Lu Jiangnan naturally wouldn't accept it, so he took the barbecue and began to feast.

Shen Jin'an was eating, while pointing to the towering mountain peak not far outside, and said softly: "There should be the main peak of Qingcheng Mountain, according to legend, there is a yellow dragon on Qingcheng Mountain, which will rise to the sky and soar into the sky every August 15, and return from the sky at the beginning of the year, but these are also what I have heard others say, but I have never seen it with my own eyes." But at that time, I was greedy for fun, but I ventured to Qingcheng Mountain alone, and I almost fell into the cliff accidentally, but fortunately, a woodcutter on the side of the road rescued me, and I also tasted half a little venison because of the blessing of misfortune, since that time, I was deeply impressed by this taste, you don't know, at that time, the Northern Yan army was short of food and grass all year round, and the two ends of three days could not eat and drink. ”

The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, the light boat has passed the ten thousand mountains, looking back at the past, laughing and talking about how bumpy it is.

Xiao Wuzi didn't smile, he knew that only after seeing the darkness did he know the preciousness of the dawn, sometimes difficulties always appeared around each other for various reasons, but after experiencing those things, those mountains that he once felt that he was difficult to cross were actually crossed, and those things that he thought he couldn't survive were also over, the choice was full of danger, the danger was full of hope, and hope was replaced by regret.

When one day I can so lightly talk about the suffering that once made me miserable, the so-called letting go is nothing more than that.

After all, the time of emotion is short.

In order to prevent any accidents, Shen Jin'an and the four of them also had to take turns on duty.

As Shen Jin'an's personal guard, Xiao Wuzi was originally going to be on duty for his master, but Shen Jin'an said that Xiao Wuzi should rest early.

At dinner, Shen Jin'an and Tang Wuxin respectively talked about some strange things about Xishu and Qingcheng Mountain.

Xiao Wuzi listened attentively, and Lu Jiangnan took care of eliminating the venison in his hands with a serious face.

Although Shen Jin'an is quite happy about the land of Xishu, what he really yearns for is still the kind of water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

That's right, Huayang is really too big, and it takes half a year to run from Beiyan to Qiongzhou Island even if it is day and night.

It is always the soft and glutinous Wu language in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River that attracts the children of the north, and what the talented and beautiful people in the south yearn for is always the thousands of miles of fertile land of the northern Yan, and the snow is flying.

The land of Xishu is mountainous and foggy, and half of the world's famous mountains are in its Xishu.

Shen Jinan said that the highest mountain in Huayang is not in Xishu, but farther away than Xishu, where it is covered with snow all year round, and the peak is about 30,000 zhang high. Lu Jiangnan smiled contemptuously and said that Shen Jinan was just talking nonsense, where in this world would there be a mountain that grew so high.

Tang Wuxin said that there might really be such a place, but it was rarely visited, and no one had ever climbed to the top.

Hearing Tang Wuxin say that there might be such a place, Lu Jiangnan snorted coldly, and he barely lost his temper.

Xiao Wuzi said softly: "Let's take a little bit of the remaining venison?" ”

Shen Jin'an, who was eating venison, said calmly: "No, take it from the people and use it for the people." Put all the rest of the venison on the river. If we take them all, there will always be people who think we are disgusting. ”

Lu Jiangnan knew that Shen Jin'an was sarcastic about himself, so he just snorted coldly, but stopped talking.

"The rivers and lakes are different from the battlefield, the rivers and lakes pay attention to a face, while the battlefield pays attention to life and death. Face is not so important before life and death. ”

It is estimated that Shen Jin'an is always so ruthless when he speaks, and Lu Jiangnan did not talk, just sat in place in a daze.

Tang Wuxin said with some agreement: "There is some truth in what I said, and I can listen to it quite well. Not to mention that the things done in the martial arts will never be right for the government. ”

Lu Jiangnan subconsciously glanced at Shen Jin'an before he was depressed, and he seemed to be a little unconvinced.

Just when the three of them were about to rest, Xiao Wuzi's ears suddenly moved, and he said softly: "Childe, someone is coming, listening to the sound of about twenty people, the steps are frivolous, it should not be a person who cultivates martial arts." ”

There are not many soldiers but fine, and there will be no more but bravery.

If it's just one or twenty mountain grass cowards, the little five sons can solve it alone.

The dark environment, the dense forest, these for a master of arrows like Xiao Wuzi, simple could not be simpler, if Xiao Wuzi is willing, spend a little time to have a cat and mouse, but let these mountain grass cowards not even know how they died.

Shen Jinan said with a smile: "I'm still worried, how to survive this long night, now it's okay, let's have fun, don't ask them where they came from, don't kill the wrong person." Killing a fawn, our Lu Nuxia is worried, if it really takes a few lives, I'm afraid our Lu Nuxia will really be ashamed. ”

As soon as Shen Jin'an's words fell, twenty big men poured into the courtyard together, and the bright weapons were extremely bright in the moonlight.

However, the types of weapons made Shen Jinan and the others laugh and cry, only a small number of weapons in the hands of some people are short knives and spears, and the weapons in the hands of the rest are more like axes, agricultural forks and other instruments.

Qingcheng Mountain is a three-way zone, and there are countless homeless people and bandits of all kinds, and dozens of people can claim the title of king. These people know everything about the grass and trees in the mountains, when Shen Jin'an and his entourage just entered Qingcheng Mountain, they were discovered by these people, and they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune in the dead of night when people were sleepy and tired, but they didn't expect that the identity of the hunter and the prey was always in a thought.

Shen Jin'an, who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, was not a fat lamb, but a hungry tiger.

Of course, the robbers don't know about it yet.

A group of local robbers, who had never seen anything in the world, couldn't help but laugh when they saw the carriage parked in the temple and the venison roasted on the fire.

The leader is a fat man, Xiao Wuzi just looked at it and guessed that this fat man was almost two or three hundred pounds, and the fat on his stomach was stretched down several layers, and even the armor could not protect it completely, at most it could only protect a few more important positions, the fat man's eye sockets were deep, his cheekbones were prominent, and his teeth were grinning like those monsters who could swallow children alive in the book.

"Hey, boys, get ready to mine."
