Although the days in the mountains were monotonous, these people had a very good time, and another month passed in an instant. In the past few days, Qizi's strength has increased greatly, and his skills have become much stronger, so he tried to reach the peak. After several days of fruitless return, he was not discouraged, thinking that he would improve every day, and one day he would be able to find the way to reach the peak.

On this day, the wind was refreshing, and the seventh son finally found a dangerous road, and he climbed up the wall and climbed to the top of the peak in only half an hour. The top of this peak was full of clouds and mist, and he could only see within two feet, and he regretted it, and turned back to go. It was not easy to go down the mountain, and the seventh son was so dangerous that he didn't fall off the cliff, and he didn't recover until he returned to the cave.

The seventh son saw that Dashan was napping, and it was not easy to call him, so he had to go out to box. When he came back, the mountain beckoned to him from afar, and he knew that there was something delicious again, so he smiled, and went into the cave to eat with the mountain white ape. Qizi swallowed a mouthful of meat and said loudly,

"Brother Dashan, I climbed to the top of the mountain today! Haha, let's clean up and go down the mountain tomorrow!"

Dashan was surprised, shook his head and said,

"Well, this, don't worry, it's not time to go down the mountain, you can practice the boxing stick method well, but not everyone has the fate to come here, I'm afraid that there will be no chance in the future, cherish it." ”

Although the seventh son was puzzled, he also knew that the mountain must have a purpose, not to say more, he stuffed a piece of fat into his mouth, and suddenly his mouth was full of greasy, he swallowed slowly, and a warm and glutinous feeling went all the way down from his throat into the stomach.

Unconsciously, a few months later, although this is the case here all year round, there is not much change, but the seventh son also knows that it is spring flowers outside the mountain, and he is looking forward to it, because the time to go down the mountain is approaching.

On this day, when the seventh son got up in the morning, he didn't see the white ape in the mountain, thinking that this pair of friends had gone outside to have fun again, but he didn't care, and he started boxing alone. It wasn't until noon that Oyama returned alone. On weekdays, the two friends don't leave half a step, and even and pee together, which is strange. The seventh son felt that something was wrong and wanted to come forward to ask, but when he saw that Dashan's eyes were bloodshot, he didn't know what to do.

Dashan looked at Qizi and said with a wry smile,

"It's gone. ”

The seventh son was shocked and hurriedly asked,

"Brother Dashan, what's going on?"

Dashan replied with a face full of frustration,

"It's old, and if it's a human being, I'm afraid it's going to be over a hundred years old. It didn't want us to feel sorry for it, so it left on its own, it must have found a place to hide. You must know that on this snow-capped mountain, almost no one can catch up with it. ”

The seventh son was shocked and said,

"Brother Dashan, you saw a few months ago that Xiaobai didn't live long! We want to stay here until the spring flowers bloom, so we want to send it to the end!"

Dashan nodded slightly, held the mask with his hand, and looked helplessly at the snow and fog.

"Yes, at that time, I knew that it would only live half a year at most. Hey, since it doesn't want to upset us, let's go tomorrow. ”

After speaking, Dashan walked into the cave and sat beside the cave wall, silent. Qizi was also very sad in his heart, he sat beside the mountain, stunned. In the past few months, the white ape has always been by his side, but suddenly he disappeared, and the cave instantly became cold, and both of them had not slept all night.

Early in the morning of the second day, the seven sons of the mountain went up the mountain together, and reached the peak in less than half an hour. The summit is still covered with snow and fog, and it is completely impossible to see the surrounding situation. The mountain stood motionless on a high place, letting the wind and snow lap against his body. Qizi stepped forward and grabbed his hand and said loudly,

"Brother Dashan, let's go down the mountain quickly, the weather here is extremely bad, and I'm afraid there will be trouble if we stay longer. ”

Dashan held the seven sons in his backhand and shouted in his ear,

"Seventh son, let's go. ”

He took the seventh son and walked down the mountain.

At this moment, not far from the hot spring cave, a white ape lay on the cliff side of the rock, it was covered with snow, leaving only its eyes to look at the mouth of the cave, full of fascination and reluctance. It stood up, shook off the snow from its body, cleared the snow around it, and then sat down on the ground and collected its hair. It is combed with great care, and it is also extremely slow. After packing up, it came to the edge of the cliff and looked down the cliff, but there was no bitterness in its eyes.

Suddenly, a familiar cry sounded behind it,

"Xiaobai. ”

"Xiaobai. ”

The white ape looked back and saw the seven sons of the mountain standing side by side, looking at him lovingly. It was a little frightened, a little puzzled, but more of a glee. The Seven Sons of the Great Mountain stepped forward, and one of them took it by one hand, and led it away from the edge of the cliff and back to the cave. It leaned against the seven sons of the mountain, and the tears kept turning.

After a while, it gently closed its eyes, breathed evenly, and thought it was asleep. Dashan looked at the white ape and said softly,

"It's so old, maybe it's just a few days ago. In this life, most of it is lonely, and it can still be accompanied by the two of us before it dies, and it can be regarded as someone to send it to the end. ”

Qizi's eyes were moist and his head was slightly bowed.

In the next few days, the seven sons of the mountain have been by the side of the white ape, not leaving an inch. The white ape's spirit is a little sluggish, but it always has a smile on its face and seems to be in a good mood. It leaned against the wall of the cave, almost no longer moving, and it was extremely difficult to sit up at this time, although it had long been unable to eat anything, but it was very happy to see the seven sons of the mountain eating the green fruits they had stored.

The seven sons of the mountain sat on the side of the white ape, and the mountain danced and told the story of the rivers and lakes told by Grandpa back then, which was a very ordinary story, but he added oil and vinegar, which was particularly attractive. Qizi laughed when he heard it, and the white ape also smiled slightly, I don't know if he can really understand, the nose is wrinkled, and it becomes more and more white. Dashan amused himself and was laughing, but he felt that the big hand of the white ape on his leg slowly slid down, and there was no trace of strength. Dashan's eyes were red and swollen, and he stopped laughing, and Qizi was also startled and looked at him together. I saw that the white ape closed his eyes slightly, and there were still tears in the corners of his eyes. The skin on its face was sagging and wrinkled, no different from that of an ordinary old man. The mountain rested his head on the white ape's chest, patted it gently, and muttered,

"Xiaobai, let's go! If you have an afterlife, let's be good brothers!"

The seventh son hugged the white ape's arm, tears rolling in his eyes. In the past few months, he has been treating this white ape as a friend and relative, although he has long been mentally prepared, but when the time comes, he still can't accept it for a while.

Dashan patted the seventh son and said softly,

"It's gone, and there's no regrets. ”

The seventh son replied,

"Well, Brother Dashan, shall we bury it?"

Dashan shook his head slightly,

"It has long chosen a cemetery for itself, and on the cliff where it was found, there is a cliff cave, and someone is waiting for it there!"

The seventh son was shocked,

"And one more!"

The mountain was a little distracted, and he said for a long time,

"I'll send it down first. ”

Dashan carried the body of the white ape, these days there is almost no food, the white ape has long been too thin, the mountain will carry it without the slightest effort, the seventh son followed behind to support the white ape. When he came to the edge of the cliff, the mountain tied the ape body with himself with thick vines, faced the cliff, and slowly climbed down. The seven sons were going to go together, but they were stopped by the mountain, so he had to look over and watch the mountain slowly disappear from view. After a long time, the figure of the mountain slowly appeared, and the seventh son also put his mind at ease. The two returned to the cave and collapsed to the ground, and the wind and snow outside the cave began again.

Dashan looked at Qizi and said softly,

"Don't blame me, it's really not easy to get into that hole, I can't let you take the risk, and Xiaobai knows in his heart that you will always be by your side when it leaves, and that is enough. ”

The seventh son nodded and said,

"Brother Dashan, that person ......"

Dashan was not in the mood to say anything now, so he had to interrupt him and say,

"It's the same as more than ten years ago, and the specific reasons will be told to you later. ”

The seventh son didn't force it, but he was more curious about what happened more than ten years ago.

Early the next morning, the two got up and prepared to go up the mountain, and when they left, they loaded a lot of green fruits in their arms. The wind and snow finally stopped, and the snow and fog also dispersed, and it was rare that the sky was blue, reflecting each other with the snow peaks, which was very charming. In the past few months, there has never been such weather in this back, and it is not easy to see such a scene when you leave. Although Qizi practiced outdoors every day, he was much whiter than when he first came, and the mountains were still very dark, in his words, he was black to the bones, if he wanted to come in vain?

The two of them came to this mountain peak in a short time, and the seven sons came up many times, but they were all cloudy and mist, and they could not see far away. It is rare to have such a weather, the fog spreads in all directions, the view is excellent, the rivers and lakes are magnificent, and there is an unobstructed view.

Dashan pointed ahead and laughed,

"Seventh son, look, that's Erhai Lake! It doesn't look like a lying ear? And Dali City at the foot of this mountain, this is much more lively than the cloud dragon. ”

After saying that, Dashan sat down, took out the wood knife, and shaved his beard. In the past six months, his beard has grown long, but he has never repaired it, and now it is more than three inches. He sharpened his knife and shaved at the same time, and cursed in his mouth, which was very funny. Look at the seventh son again, he will scrape every two days, Dashan said that he loves stinky beauty, he just smiled and did not refute.

Qizi breathed in the cold air and looked into the distance, unable to speak for a long time. I think he has lived in Lushui Village for a long time, and in the past 20 years, he has only been to Dali City once, and he still came for delivery, and he didn't turn around in the city after delivering the goods. This is good, once I saw this Cangshan Erhai Dali City from afar. When he looked back, he saw only the mountains, and he did not know where he had come.

Dashan patted Qizi on the shoulder and shouted,

"Seventh son, let's not go back! Go down the mountain and enter the city!"

The seventh son's eyes were full of determination, and he followed behind the mountain, clenching his fists.

The descent was much easier, and when you reached the snow line, you could meet a lot of animals. The mountain suddenly attacked, caught two white foxes, the fur is exceptionally clean and smooth, there is no variegation on the whole body, if it is taken to Dali City, it will definitely be able to sell for a good price. Dashan Feishi is clever in his methods, and he didn't hurt the fox skin at all, he took advantage of the fact that the white fox's body had not yet cooled, and quickly peeled off the skin, and his technique was extremely clever. The seventh son couldn't help but praise when he saw it.

The two of them hit a few pheasants along the way, and the seventh son tied them with thin vines and carried them behind him. After a while, there were already traces of the activities of the mountain people's medicine family, and the mountain searched for a moment, exchanging a few pheasants for two straw hats and a sack. Dashan put on a straw hat and lowered his hair a little, which was not so noticeable, and Qizi put on a straw hat and immediately looked like an ordinary person. Dashan put the fox skin in a sack, and each of the seven sons cut a pile of firewood and carried it on their backs.

All the way down the mountain, I met a lot of tourists. No, the boy in front of him sat on the bamboo chair with a big belly, and the four family members stood in one corner and lifted the bamboo chair to climb up, each of them had a bruised face, which looked extremely difficult. There are four guards in front of this bamboo chair, followed by a few maids, all with ruddy faces, very delicate, and then there are several guards, and the pomp is really huge. The mountain road is not wide, and this chair can only be allowed to pass, and the mountain was about to take the seventh son to the forest to take refuge, when he heard the boy roar loudly,

"These two stupid people, don't get out of the way quickly, sweep this son Yaxing, and want you two to walk around if you can't eat!"

The seventh son was about to leave, but he saw that the mountain was motionless and smiled evilly at himself. I saw Dashan grab Qizi's hands and push them hard towards his chest. The mountain had his back to the bamboo chair, and it looked like the two were fighting. I only heard the mountain shouting in the dialect of Dali City,

"You kid, you dare to beat me, I fought with you, don't think I can't beat you...... Oops, you kid really did it!

The mountain pushed himself, and then fell to the bamboo chair. The four guards in front hurriedly grabbed it, but they were bounced away by the mountain one by one, and he screamed and fell straight to the fat boy. The boy was shocked, the bamboo chair swayed even more, and the chair lifter was so frightened that his face was pale. The guards behind the chair couldn't come over for a while, so they jumped up in a hurry. Dashan carried a hundred catties of firewood, and pressed directly on the fat boy. The four family members couldn't hold their hands and let go one after another, and everyone behind the chair also dodged to the mountains and forests beside the road. The mountain pressed the fat boy, and he slid back more than ten zhang before stopping.

The guards of all the families were stunned, and looked straight at the mountain and the fat boy, but no one stepped forward. Dashan turned up, turned his head to look at the fat boy, and saw that his fat face was full of tears, and he actually cried with a big face, and Dashan looked at him with a wry smile. After a while, the fat boy raised his hand and wanted the guard to come forward and arrest the villain. Dashan grabbed the fat boy's hands and shouted to the people,

"Childe is frightened, what are you doing, why don't you come and serve Childe!"

After speaking, he looked at the fat boy with a smile, and the fat boy was interrupted by him every time he said a word, and his eyes were so angry that he only heard Dashan say affectionately,

"Childe, at first glance, you are a blessed person, and you can turn evil into good fortune in such a danger just now, it's really not easy!" The boy just said the word "you", and was interrupted by the mountain,

"Childe, boy, I've been practicing for thirty years, it's rare to meet an opponent, ordinary people give me such a pressure, how can I break my tendons and fractures, I'm afraid I have to recuperate in bed for half a year. Tsk, look at you, it's like you're fine, it's really amazing!" the boy's face changed, and he slowly squeezed out a smile. The people trembled, not knowing what to do. The mountain rushed forward and helped the fat boy up,

"Childe, be careful on the ground, it's a little slippery, don't fall. He patted his head, as if he had suddenly realized, and said,

"Oh, look at my thoughts, son, you are so powerful, how could you fall, I'm really worried, I'm really worried. ”

After hearing this, the fat boy laughed and laughed, thinking that he really didn't fall anywhere,

"You kid is really interesting, who's the name, I have a big reward!"

Dashan hurriedly stepped forward to support the fat boy,

"Childe, the boy's name is not enough to worry about, it is a blessing to see you today, and I can also have a good time with the child, and it is to make the boy admire the five bodies, where can I ask for your reward!"

When all the people heard what he said, they were disgusted, and they squinted at him from time to time. Unexpectedly, this fat boy was extremely useful, with a wave of his hand, a subordinate handed over a large ingot of silver, and Dashan pretended to shirk, but he took the silver ingot into his arms and shouted loudly,

"Childe, you are really a living Bodhisattva, you really torment the people! If Childe has an order in the future, Childe just says, Childe will definitely go to the soup and fire, and he will not give up!"

The fat boy laughed, thinking that he liked this poor boy. When Dashan saw that he was happy, he said loudly, for fear that the group of subordinates would not hear clearly.

"Childe, you see it's not early, look at the clouds, maybe it's going to rain. Do you want the kid to accompany you down the mountain, and I can talk to you along the way for fun. ”

The fat boy laughed and said,

"You still tell stories?!"

The mountain bowed his head and said,

"Childe doesn't know, I'm a well-known story king, and I can talk about it for a year and a half all day long, and you will like it if you listen to it. ”

The fat boy was overjoyed,

"Then you and I sit on the chair together, let's talk as we go!" After saying that, he was about to walk towards the bamboo chair.

Dashan grabbed him and said with a wicked smile,

"Childe doesn't know, this storytelling is still good on the ground, this is the confidence, I think Childe is extraordinary, this mountain road must be no problem, it is better for us to talk while walking, and let the boy have a good look at Childe's outstanding demeanor. ”

The boy laughed and said yes, and the mountain carried him slowly down the mountain, telling new stories in his mouth, which made the fat boy laugh. With a little exertion in his hands, the fat boy walked for a while without panting, and he was very satisfied with himself and the mountain. Dashan stretched out his hand high and made a gesture, and the seven sons understood and followed behind. The sedan chair everyone watched the three of them walk away, and then slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, the fat boy had already made them unbearable, if they added the mountain, they would not be tortured half to death. Although everyone said that they didn't like this chaifu, they also admired his sycophants, and everyone didn't have to lift the son, and he was in a good mood when he went down the mountain, and a bold guard secretly sent a few spring flowers to the quiet ring.

In a short time, there were dark clouds in the sky, and in a short time thunder was rolling. The fat boy was so afraid of the thunder that he had to cover his ears every time the thunder sounded, and he couldn't help shaking. The mountain shouted in the fat boy's ear,

"Childe, you follow my example, every time lightning scolds him, you won't be afraid!"

As soon as he finished speaking, lightning pierced the sky, and the mountain stared at the sky and roared,

"You bastard, you have a kind of to split Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is not afraid!" The thunder then rang out, and Dashan burst out laughing.

The fat boy also felt strange when he saw it, and at this moment, another lightning bolt fell, and the fat boy pointed at the lightning and shouted,

"How fucking dare you scare Lao Tzu, your grandmother!"

The thunder rang out in unison with his scolding, and the fat boy was stunned, but he was no longer afraid. He laughed and patted the mountain on the shoulder,

"Good boy, it's really useful, it's really yours, haha, haha!"

Lightning kept flashing across the sky, and I heard the two of them scolding and scolding, and then looking at each other and laughing. I only heard the compliments of the mountains keep coming,

"Oh, Childe, you're scolding so much!"

"Haha, this heavenly Lei Gong is only afraid that he will be half angry!"

"Childe, who did you learn from, it's really domineering. ”

“......”

Yahuan, who came to deliver the umbrella, was so frightened that she didn't dare to step forward, but followed silently behind. Qizi smiled bitterly, and the Yahuan went down the mountain side by side, and from time to time to say a word to her, the Yahuan was so ashamed that her face was flushed, and occasionally peeked at the Qizi, and saw the handsome face of the Qizi, presumably the spring heart has also been moved.

The thunder hit for a long time, and finally it rained, and the pretty girl stepped forward to deliver an umbrella, and Dashan took it, and made an umbrella for the fat boy, and deliberately wet his clothes, and the fat boy looked at him and nodded. The seventh son gave the girl ring an umbrella, and the girl ring clasped her hands together, not daring to raise her head. Qizi smiled bitterly, and he didn't know what to do.

It was getting dark, and the mountain and the fat boy went down to the foot of the mountain first, and the mountain pretended to be out of breath and said,

"Childe is so good, he doesn't look tired at all after walking this way, if I didn't have Childe by my side, I wouldn't be able to hold on for a long time. ”

The boy laughed and patted the mountain on the shoulder,

"It seems that you still have to practice hard, haha, haha!"

The mountains don't stop at the waist,

"Childe, this place is not far from the Chongsheng Temple, why don't we spend the night in the temple tonight?"

When the boy heard this, he hesitated a little, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by the mountain,

"The prince can send someone back to inform him of the situation, just say that he has accumulated good fortune in the temple, I think the lord will not blame, and there is a lot of fun in this temple, and the fast rice is simply delicious, every time I have to eat a few bowls, I also know a few hidden stories in the temple, and it is not interesting to tell their stories under the nose of the monk!"

The fat man's eyes lit up, his face was retracted, and he said softly,

"Nonsense, nonsense, the temple is a sacred place, how can you have such an idea. Hum. ”

Then he shouted backwards,

"Little four, you take someone back to report to the master, and say that my son wants to worship the Buddha in Chongsheng Temple, eat a few meals, and live in the temple today, and don't go back. ”

When the little guy heard this, he took a few maids back to the city, and the pretty girls next to the seven sons looked reluctant, and when they didn't walk long, they looked back at the seven sons, and the seven sons were a little embarrassed.

The fat boy squeezed his eyebrows at the mountain, and the two of them walked into the Chongsheng Temple with the rest of the people.
