The setting sun is slanting

Wild grass flowers by the bridge

Remnants fall and dance with the wind

Xiahui has been slow to shine

Evening Qiao is returning home

However, he said that Chen Su was bent on saving his father, and since Qin Zhong said that the Heaven and Death Heavenly Pavilion might have a way to save him, then no matter how difficult it was, he was determined to give it a try. Yunrou is a woman, and Min'er is young, so she is naturally inseparable from her body, and Chen Yuanhua's injury also needs someone to take care of her. After several discussions, Chen Su was very persistent, so he repeatedly asked Qin Zhong about the location of the Heavenly Pavilion of Life and Death, drew a rough map, made a little dots, and then got up and set off.

According to Qin Zhong, the Heavenly Pavilion of Life and Death is located in the hinterland of Pingya, at the peak of Qingyuan Mountain. Qingyuan Mountain is more than two days away from Jiuli Town, which is not too far, Yunrou hired a carriage to carry Chen Su, and rushed to Qingyuan Mountain all the way. Chen Su was in a hurry, and he kept urging on the way, day and night, and the handlebar Lu Liang always respected Chen Yuan as a person, and he did his best.

After a day and night, Chen Su and the two have entered the Qingyuan boundary, when the morning dew is not dry, a small town store in front of them comes into view, there are about more than 100 households in the town, backed by the mountain, scattered and mixed, red flowers and green willows, dotted in the meantime.

Lu Liang slowed down slightly, "Gongzi Chen, there should be Qingyuan Mountain in front, there is a town store there, we might as well go over and find someone to inquire, maybe someone knows the location of the Heavenly Pavilion of Life and Death." ”

Chen Su leaned out and looked forward, and there was indeed a small town not far ahead.

"It's been hard work Uncle Lu all the way, and when I catch up with it again, I'll ask. ”

"Okay, Childe has never stopped all the way, people are sleepy and tired, so we will also go to the front to drink a bowl of water. Lu Liang's horsewhip flicked, crackling, and the three white horses neighed, bringing up smoke and dust all the way to the town ahead.

After a short time into the town, Chen Su jumped down from the carriage, Lu Liang led the horse to follow behind, the entrance of the town is an inn, a three-story attic, a red lacquered wooden sign is hung on the door beam, with four big characters written, Qingyuan old store.

"Uncle Lu, why don't we rest here. ”

"Everything is at the behest of the childe. ”

Xiao Er at the door of the store was removing the door panel, and when he saw that a guest came to the door early in the morning, he immediately greeted him with a smile, "Please two of you, are you two sharpening or staying in the hotel?"

Chen Su went out for the first time, and he didn't know how to answer the words of the second brother, so he had to smile at him.

Lu Liang traveled south and north, quite insightful, and it was also good to stop here and ask for directions by the way.

"Xiao Er, take our horse to the backyard and feed some good food, our son still has some things to ask you about in a while, so naturally you can't miss it. ”

"Okay!" As he spoke, Xiao Er took the reins, led the carriage and turned to the backyard.

Chen Su looked at Lu Liang embarrassedly, "Uncle Lu, what kind of son am I? ”

Lu Liang smiled, "You are the son of Boss Chen, and it is not too much to call him a son." ”

"Uncle, you still call me Chen Su, I'm not used to it. Chen Su was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, Lao Lu listens to Chen Gongzi. ”

Chen Su and the two walked into the Qingyuan store while chatting, found a seat by the window and sat down, and someone came to serve tea.

"Uncle Lu, I think we should not stay in the hotel, hurry up and ask someone for directions and set off. My father's injury is not light, and I can't let go of it in my heart. Chen Su was worried in his heart, how could he sit still?

"Chen Sugongzi, I know that you are impatient, but sharpening the knife does not mistake the woodcutter, you see the mountain in front of you towering into the clouds, several peaks are continuous, we don't know which place is the Prayer Peak, and the mountain is steep, I am afraid that it will not take far, the carriage will not be able to go up, and even the horse will not be able to climb, and then you can only rely on manpower to climb, you don't eat much this day and night, how can you have the strength to climb the mountain at that time, in case you are exhausted somewhere, who will Boss Chen wait to rescue?"

"This ......" Chen Su sighed, knowing that the other party was right, but at this time, he was upset, he really had no appetite, and he was in a hurry, and it was quite difficult to stretch.

Xiao Er went to the backyard to set up the horses, and rushed back to the front store after a while.

"I wonder what you two want?"

Lao Lu glanced at it and didn't answer directly, "Are you two guys in the store?"

"That's not it, it's just that you two came early, and there are no guests at this time on weekdays, so there is only the small one in front of me, the one who just served tea, or the new one the day before yesterday, and he is not a buddy. ”

This little two also looked smart and clever, "Oh, that's right, we want to ask you something. Lao Lu saw that this little two was quite talkative, and thought that maybe he could ask him.

Xiao Er smiled with him, "It's okay, but you two still ordered food first, and I'll let you prepare later, and then it's not too late to talk to you in detail." ”

Chen Su nodded, "Uncle Lu, there is some truth in what he said. ”

Lao Lu smiled, it seems that Chen Su listened to his own advice, and then ordered a few side dishes at random, Chen Su had no opinion, so he took Xiao Er to prepare.

Lao Lu looked at Chen Su, "Young Master Chen Su, Mrs. Luo (Yunrou) is as careful as a hair, I think she must have prepared water and dry food for her son." ”

Chen Su nodded, I don't know why Lu Dao Lu asked like this.

"Why did that boy enter this Qingyuan store again?"

"I didn't see a pedestrian outside early in the morning, so I had to come here to ask for some news. Why did Uncle Lu ask about this?"

"Childe, forgive Lao Lu for saying something ugly, Boss Chen's injury is not light. Lao Lu said while looking at Chen Su, "And this time, if the son fails to obtain the Divine Pill?"

Chen Su frowned, "Uncle, how can you say that? I came this time, and I asked for good medicine to save my father no matter what." ”

"Even if you ask for it, what if the divine pill can't be effective?"

"Uncle, what do you want to say?" Chen Su listened to Lu Liang's words, and couldn't help but feel a trace of displeasure in his heart, could it be that he was so unwilling to save his father?

"Childe!" Lu Liang paused, "We have not received the benefits of Boss Chen over the years, if it weren't for Boss Chen, many villagers may have been ruined, I naturally hope that Boss Chen can get better, but just in case, if the sky really does not fulfill people's wishes, has Childe ever thought about it, what will happen in the future?"

"No, I must save my father. Chen Su took the teacup and drank it all, looking out the window into the distance, "Definitely!"

"But ......"

"Nothing. Chen Su put the teacup on the table heavily.

"Here's the food. ”

While he was talking, the child held the tea tray in his hand and ran up quickly.

Interrupted by Xiao Er, Lu Liang sighed lightly and stopped talking.

"Little second brother, let me ask you, is Qingyuan Mountain in front of you?" Chen Su looked at the busy child and asked.

"Yes, this is the foot of Qingyuan Mountain, our place is called Qingyuan Town, also called Qingyuankou, which means that if you want to enter Qingyuan Mountain, you must pass through this road, and the other three sides are all cliffs. Xiao Er put down the meal and replied with a smile, "Please use it slowly." ”

"Then I want to ask the second brother, which is this Prayer Peak?" Chen Su continued to ask.

"Prayer Peak?" Xiao Er hesitated slightly, "I wonder what the two of you are looking for this Prayer Peak?"

"I heard that there is a miracle medicine in Qi Nian Peak, and my father is seriously injured, so I hereby ask for it. ”

"Oh, Prayer Peak, Prayer Nian..."Xiao Er Nian muttered, shaking his head after a moment, "I don't think I've ever heard of it." ”

Chen Su's heart couldn't help but darken, what Qin Zhong said was clear, Prayer Peak was in this Qingyuan Mountain, how could it be that when he arrived at the foot of the mountain, the people here had never heard of it?"

"Heaven and Death Heavenly Pavilion?" Xiao Er hurriedly shook his head, "I haven't heard of it either." ”

Chen Su was like being poured a basin of cold water on his head, and suddenly had no idea, and said to himself, "Could it be that Dr. Qin is making up a story to coax me because he can't save my father?"

"Doctor Qin is over seventy years old and well-known in the township, if there are no clues, how can he talk nonsense? Childe, I don't think this young man is very old, maybe he doesn't know what to do, we might as well ask others again. Lu Liang saw that this blow to Chen Su was not small, so he had no choice but to persuade him.

"Hmph" Xiao Er snorted coldly, "I grew up in this Qingyuan Town since I was a child, and now for twenty years, I have been to Qingyuan Mountain no less than 100 times, if there is a Prayer Peak, I will not know the way?"

Chen Su took out his hand-drawn map from his arms, although Qin Zhong said that it was not very clear at that time, he also had a rough route, but now he took it out, looked at it again, and pointed to a place with his finger, "Little second brother, please take a closer look here." ”

"No, no" didn't think Xiao Er didn't even look at it, and hurriedly waved his hand to deny it, "If you say no, you don't have it!"

Cough, a light cough came from the inside room, and then a slightly chubby middle-aged man walked out of the curtain, "Little Wuzi, what are you making noise about early in the morning, aren't you afraid of disturbing the guests?"

When Xiao Er saw the middle-aged man who came out, he shrank his head in fright, "Back to the shopkeeper, these two people want to find ...... prayer."

"Cough" The middle-aged man glared at Xiao Er, "Early in the morning, I made the guests unhappy, I think you have done enough, why don't you go to the account office to settle your salary in a while, and find another job?"

"The shopkeeper, the little one doesn't dare. With that, Xiao Er hurriedly lowered his head and ran into the back hall.

The middle-aged man looked at Chen Su, an ignorant young man, his clothes were not luxurious, and he could even be said to be a little shabby, the man opposite, with a horsewhip pinned to his waist, looked like a coachman, hesitated slightly, but still came to the table of the two with a smile on his face, "Two guest officers, the young man is not sensible, don't worry about him, the next is the shopkeeper of this Qingyuan store, Zhu Mo, if the two of you are willing to appreciate the light, I will invite this meal." ”

Chen Su looked at the shopkeeper, who was at least forty or fifty years old, and immediately stood up, "Shopkeeper Zhu, have you ever heard of Qi Nian Feng?"

Zhu Mo smiled, "The Five Finger Peak of Qingyuan Mountain, in this town, women and children all know, there is indeed no Prayer Peak." ”

"What about the Heavenly Pavilion of Life and Death?"

"No, there isn't. Zhu Mo always maintained that kind smile.

"Zhu Shopkeeper" Lu Liang also stood up and hugged his fist at Zhu Mo. "Then may I ask what temples and sects are there on this mountain?"

"This..."Zhu Mo hesitated for a moment, "On the middle finger peak, there is a Taoist temple. ”

"Which is the middle finger peak?" Chen Su hurriedly asked, "Does the Taoist temple have a name?"

"That view has no name and no number, it has been abandoned for many years, and it is above the peak of the middle finger peak, and ordinary people can't go up, so I advise the two of you not to waste your efforts. Zhu Mo said, his expression began to become serious.

"Why is this?" Lao Lu began to suspect that the two shopkeepers must have something to hide.

"Qingyuan Mountain is a secluded place, inaccessible, there are many monsters in the mountains, in the early years, there were people who went into the mountains to hunt for mountain treasures, but basically they were not killed or injured, and few people returned. That temple was originally also a cultivation dojo for masters, and later it was said that the master traveled the world, and the disciples dispersed, and within a few years, the Taoist temple was abandoned. So I advised the two of you not to go, first, the mountain road is dangerous, and secondly, it is a waste of time, it is better to go elsewhere as soon as possible, and then seek a good solution. ”

"Thank you Shopkeeper Zhu, you can settle the meal money for us. Lu Liang sat down as he spoke, and when he saw that Chen Su was going to ask again, he shook his head at him and signaled to stop.

"No need, I'll take care of this meal. Zhu Mo turned around after speaking, "If you still need anything, you can just ask for it, but I advise you to listen to my kind words." Then he walked into the inner hall.

"Uncle Lu, why don't you let me ask clearly. As soon as Chen Su sat down, he began to ask questions.

"It's useless, they deliberately hide it, we can't ask. Leave these questions and ask the masters of the mountain, eat quickly, and when we are full, we will set off. ”

Lu Liang has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he can see that the two shopkeepers are jealous and refuse to say it clearly, but the more they are like this, the more suspicious they feel, if there is really nothing, why hide it?

Chen Su and the two had eaten, Xiao Er had taken care of the carriage in the morning, Zhu Mo insisted on not accepting the silver taels of the two, and he no longer disputed, Lu Liang asked the location of the middle finger peak again, Zhu Mo was also vague, and had no choice but to continue to move forward, walking less than seven or eight miles away, only to see the ancient trees in front of him, thorns covering the road, Lu Liang got off the carriage, carefully checked for a long time, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Childe, if you go any further, the car won't be able to go. ”

Chen Su jumped out of the carriage, "Uncle Lu, thank you for your hard work all the way to this place, Chen Su is grateful." As he spoke, he bowed and saluted.

Lu Liang stepped forward and helped Chen Su up, "Childe is too polite, otherwise, you wait for me here, I also went to the Qingyuan store just now, deposited the carriage, and came back to go up the mountain with you." ”

"Uncle, you and I are here, life is sparse, and we have the courage to store the carriage, if something goes wrong, what will we do in the future? Uncle's kindness, I understand it, why don't you wait for me in the town, at least three or two days, at most four or five days, as soon as I get the magic medicine, I will come here to meet you." After Chen Su finished speaking, he looked back at the mountain peak that plunged straight into the clouds, and then took off the package from the car and carried it on his shoulder.

"Childe, that Lao Lu is waiting for you in the town, be careful, you must pay attention to wild beasts and poisonous insects, especially at night, you must build more bonfires, one is to avoid fire, and the other is to drive away the cold, the mountain is not better than the mountain, it will be cold at night" Lao Lu explained a lot ......to Chen Su, Chen Su nodded and agreed, kept it in his heart, and checked the water and dry food before walking towards the forest.

"Childe. ”

Chen Su stopped, turned around and looked at Lu Liang, "What else does the uncle have to say?"

Lu Liang hesitated for a moment, "I know that these sons may not like to listen to it, but Boss Chen is already like this, and it is also appropriate for the son to do his best to seek medicine for his father, and Boss Chen will be very relieved if he knows it." It's just that Childe does his best, don't force it, Boss Chen definitely won't want Childe to have an accident. ”

Chen Su nodded, knowing that Lu Liang was for his own good, "Uncle's earnest words, Chen Su remembered them. After speaking, he bowed to Lu Liang again, turned around and left, and did not look back.

Lu Liang watched Chen Su until Chen Su's figure disappeared into the dense forest, and then he drove the carriage alone and returned to Qingyuan Town.
