Hetale and Xiao Yanzhen chatted until late at night. Before I knew it, Hetale had fallen asleep.

In the dream, Hetale and Xiao Yanzhen walked together through a deep canyon. Hetale wears a blue and white striped tracksuit suit and a pair of white basketball shoes; Xiao Yanzhen is wearing a dark cyan robe, black boots, a black leather belt tied around his waist, and hair on his head.

A long and narrow river rushed past the two of them, and the rushing water washed over the riverbed, hitting the rocks on the shore with a roaring sound. Above the heads of Heita Le and Xiao Yanzhen, the cliffs on the left and right sides of the canyon cut a sky like Bai Lian.

At the moment, they don't know where they are, they just follow the direction of the river's flow, aimlessly.

The road under their feet is sometimes rough, sometimes smooth, sometimes muddy, and sometimes dangerous.

For Hetale, a teenager with no experience in the wilderness, such an environment made him almost collapse, his beloved white basketball shoes were already stained with mud and covered in sweat. If it weren't for Xiao Yanzhen to accompany him all the way, he would really be desperate.

I saw that the path ahead was cut off by a large area of low trees that were more than one person high. The low trees grew directly into the water on the bank of the river, close to the cliff face, blocking the way forward. How good is that? Hei Tale looked at Xiao Yanzhen.

Xiao Yanzhen scratched the top of his bare head, "Let's be a housekeeper to open the way." Go and pick up some branches, the more the better, the longer the better, the thicker your fingers. After that, Xiao Yanzhen and Heita Le looked around and started to use tools to open the way.

I saw Xiao Yanzhen fold the branches he picked up from the front to the front and fold them into a "V" shape, but they were not completely broken. The branches were then woven together with slender green vines to create a shield that could be folded from side to side, as tall as a man. The outside of the shield is covered with large leaves, which protects the branches and people inside. The shield folded in half just forms the shape of an arrow.

"I'll open the way. Just follow me and hide behind me. With that, Xiao Yanzhen held up the shield with both hands and walked all the way towards the bushes. Hetale clinged closely behind Xiao Yanzhen. The two men walked forward slowly, one after the other.

Through the gap in the leaves, Xiao Yanzhen tried to discern the direction of the road. Every time you pass a tree, you have to stop and correct your direction. Although the pace of progress is very slow. But in such a mobile fortress, Hetale was much more at ease.

When they finally broke through the bush, the leaves covered by the shield had already been scraped by the knife-like branches of the bush, and even the finger-thick branches on the outside of the shield had been scraped to reveal the white phloem inside.

Throwing away the shield in his hand, Xiao Yanzhen's hands were already red, and sweat soaked his hair. Hei Tale looked at Xiao Yanzhen with admiration on his face, and thought, "If only I had a brother like this." ”

Take a break. Xiao Yanzhen and Hei Tale continued to move forward.

The two of them seem to have gone through four seasons along the way. The canyon has its own unique microclimate, sometimes the wind is angry, sometimes it is unbearable, sometimes it is hot like fire, sometimes it is bitterly cold. From time to time, there seemed to be a sound of a wild beast around him, which couldn't help but make people's hearts beat faster and their hairs explode. However, there was no living creature on the way, and the river was crystal clear, and there was no shadow of fish, not even aquatic plants.

Not far ahead, you can already see a little bit of green. Hei Tale and Xiao Yanzhen seemed to see hope, and couldn't help but speed up their pace.

The forest was silent, and in addition to the sound of the wind, there was the rustle of feet stepping on fallen leaves.

"Ahh......h Not good! I saw that Xiao Yanzhen had one foot deeply embedded in the fallen leaves, and the other foot also stepped on it involuntarily due to inertia, and he was also deeply trapped in it.

Seeing Xiao Yanzhen's body sinking little by little, Hei Tale quickly reacted, there must be a quagmire under this fallen leaf. He remembered that his teacher in physics class had said that in the case of falling into a swamp, the stress area should be increased and the pressure per unit area should be reduced. "Lie down, quick! Lie back. Fast! Hetale hurriedly shouted.

At this moment, the fallen leaves were already approaching Xiao Yanzhen's knees. Hei Tale sat on the ground and pulled Xiao Yanzhen's body back vigorously, but he couldn't pull it. Xiao Yanzhen's two calves were still stuck in the fallen leaves.

What can I do? Hetale suddenly thought of the slender man pulling the boat. He then took off his tracksuit jacket, took it to the river, wet it, and twisted it into a rope shape. Hetale handed one end of the "rope" into Xiao Yanzhen's hand, and the other end was tightly held in his hand, and put the "rope" on his shoulder, pulling it vigorously in the opposite direction of Xiao Yanzhen.

In a few moments, Hetale was out of breath, and beads of sweat the size of beans fell from his forehead and cheeks. Sweat flowed into my eyes, killing my eyes so much that I didn't dare to open them.

He closed his eyes tightly, held his breath, his body and mind were one, his left knee was slightly bent, his right shoulder leaned forward, and finally he felt the tight "rope" behind him loosen in an instant. Hettal realized that it must have worked. He looked back at Xiao Yanzhen, who smiled and made a "six" gesture towards Heitale.

With the efforts of Hetale, Xiao Yanzhen finally broke free from the shackles of the quagmire. "This kid really has two hits!" Xiao Yanzhen sighed secretly.

In order to avoid the mud under the layer of fallen leaves, Hetale found two long and thick branches, and held one with Xiao Yanzhen, as if holding a mine detector, and continued to move forward tentatively step by step.

After a long journey, Heita Le and Xiao Yanzhen finally came to the end of the canyon. Here, the river is divided into three strands by two sandbars. One on the left and one on the left, along the rock walls on both sides of the canyon. The larger one in the middle, which extends all the way to the vast grassland outside the canyon, resembles a vein of green leaves, and then divides into many small tributaries that spread throughout the grassland.

In this prairie, as far as the eye can see, an old yellow-and-white building stands out.

"I don't know if there's anyone in that house. Brother Xiao, let's take a look? Hei Tale looked at Xiao Yanzhen beside him.

"It's all here. Check it out! After walking for so long, Xiao Yanzhen and Hei Tale were already exhausted.

They walked through patches of meadows, crossed streams, and got closer and closer to the yellow-and-white building, and saw more and more clearly.

The yellow-and-white building is made of polished stones, about three feet high, and is slightly dilapidated under years of weathering and erosion. It has an arched doorway, but it has no doors; There were no windows, only a cross-shaped hole in the wall about six feet diagonally above each side of the doorway. The roof of the yellow-and-white building is like an edged awl, piercing straight into the sky, giving people a solemn sense of oppression.

When Hetale and Xiao Yanzhen arrived at the yellow and white building, a sense of mystery made Hetale stop.

"Brother Xiao, do we really want to go in?" Hetale was visibly hesitant.

"This is supposed to be a temple. I think I've seen something like that in my memory. Don't be afraid, I've got you. With that, Xiao Yanzhen walked straight into the dim doorway. Although Hetale was a little scared of the unknown, he still followed closely behind Xiao Yanzhen.

The temple was dimly lit, and the shattered stone slabs on the ground were covered with dust, and when you stepped on it, smoke and dust rose everywhere. Through a cross-shaped hole in the wall, two white beams of light shine on a humanoid statue inside the temple.

Xiao Yanzhen looked towards the statue. The statue was about nine feet high, and the dust on it was like a black veil that obscured the statue's original appearance.

Xiao Yanzhen came closer. I saw that the statue stepped on the lotus platform, and its right hand was a lotus finger. The palm of his left hand is facing up, and he is holding a stone in the shape of a droplet. Behind the left and right arms and on the back, there are three arms, each holding a different weapon.

Xiao Yanzhen was stunned for a moment, and finally recognized that this was an eight-armed Guanyin statue. Although most of the glaze on the statue of Guanyin has fallen off, it is still kind and graceful.

Xiao Yanzhen and Hei Tale stood in front of the statue of Guanyin for a long time, as if they were deeply attracted by some mysterious power. Suddenly, Guanyin flew up like a drop-like stone in his left hand, and the dust attached to it was like golden sand, scattered all over the ground. It was restored to its original form, crystal clear, like a sparkling crystal, emitting a dazzling light that illuminated the entire temple.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the legendary Divine Stone, the Tears of Bodhi." Xiao Yanzhen said to Hei Tale. The two men were deeply shocked by the sight in front of them.

I saw that the divine stone slowly rose to the highest point of the temple, and suddenly it flickered with a blinding white light. With a piercing cracking sound, the stone split in two from the middle. Then, the two fragments of the Divine Stone rotated at high speed and shot out a dazzling white light lock at Xiao Yanzhen and Hei Tale respectively.

Xiao Yanzhen and Hei Tale seemed to be frightened, and they were stunned for a moment, unable to move a bit, and let the light lock lock firmly lock their bodies.

The fragments of the divine stone rotated at high speed, dragging Xiao Yanzhen and Hei Tale into the air. Streams of glittering golden energy poured into Xiao Yanzhen and Hei Tale's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose through the light lock.

As the energy of the two divine stone fragments gradually depleted, they finally turned into a wisp of dust and smoke, which dispersed in the temple, and the light lock disappeared with it. However, Xiao Yanzhen and Hei Tale were surrounded by layers of golden light.

When the two of them landed back on the floor of the temple, they felt full of strength, and the fatigue of the previous journey disappeared in an instant. They looked at each other, and a sense of intimacy and trust that had never been felt before. At this moment, it was as if they had merged into one and become one person.
