Shen Feiyang prepared to enter the mountain

It is said that Shen Feiyang got up from the pavilion and stepped into the threshold, the girl in green walked in front, and the girl in red stood behind the door, waiting for Shen Feiyang to go first, Shen Feiyang walked through the wooden door, and the girl in red closed the door of the archway, but it was still not locked.

He followed the two girls from Qimen, just walked behind the boulder, the front suddenly opened up, a zigzag path in front of the left, on the left side of the path is a tall pine tree, and some unknown miscellaneous trees, occasionally there are one or two bird calls in the woods, which seems more green. On both sides of the road are colorful flowers, which are blooming delicately, and in the right foreground is a peach grove with flowers in bloom, and the peach trees are full of peaches, large and small.

There is a small wooden house on the edge of the peach forest, it seems that it can only accommodate one person to move in it, and it is not clear what structure it is, but it is very strange that there is a wire on the roof. It turned out that this wire was connected to the wire in the wooden pillar of the torii, and it may have been a small house that played a role as a security guard, similar to a sentry box.

Looking further ahead, about 200 meters away, there is a bamboo forest, and behind the bamboo forest there is a house, which is a small two-story wooden building. There are a few big characters on the second floor, and I can't read them clearly. In the posterior oblique side of this small building, there are two similar ones, arranged in a stepped pattern, but there are no words on the houses.

Shen Feiyang didn't speak, in order to see the terrain clearly, in case there was any accident so that he could flee immediately, he deliberately walked forward slowly. He walked in the middle, and involuntarily glanced back at the girl in red, who also happened to be looking at him, and both of them felt embarrassed.

Shen Feiyang quickly turned around, in fact, the girl in red was even redder at this time, but there were red clothes against it, and she couldn't see how red her face was. At this time, the girl in red who was walking behind spoke:

"Don't look back, look back again, I'll let your eyes have no eyeballs, and you won't see anything. ”

"I have no grievances with you in my previous life, and I have no enmity in this life, why are you so fierce?" In order to break the embarrassment, Shen Feiyang saw the girl talking, so he began to talk to her.

"Which one is talking to you? ”

Shen Feiyang felt really funny this time, it was obvious that this girl was talking to him, and suddenly said that he didn't talk to him, this girl was too strange, he had to hold back and not dare to laugh, not talking, for fear of really making the girl angry, it was not a joke.

When he was bored, he stretched out his hand casually, wanting to pick a roadside wildflower and play with it in his hand, and as soon as his hand stretched out, the girl behind him screamed:

"Hey, who told you to pick flowers? Don't you want to go?"

But at this time, Shen Feiyang had already picked a small flower, he kept playing with the flower in his hand, and from time to time put the flower on his nose to smell, although the flower was small, but the fragrance was overflowing, at this time, the girl in green who was walking in front did not hear the footsteps of the people behind, looked back, and found the flower in Shen Feiyang's hand, and immediately crossed her hands on her waist:

"Well, don't throw the flowers away, you'll be in for it later." Frightened, Shen Feiyang hurriedly threw the flower in his hand on the side of the road.

After a while, he arrived in the courtyard in front of the two-story building, and at this time, Shen Feiyang saw clearly a few words on the roof, "Taiyuan Lifting Afternoon". The little girl who walked in front shouted:

"Grandpa, grandpa, is Daddy back? ”

"Your dad hasn't come back yet, grandpa is back. After speaking, the door in the middle of the ground floor of the two-story small building was opened, and it opened with a "squeak" to both sides. In the middle of the room stood an old man of his childhood, about eighty or ninety years old, with a red face and full of energy, holding in his hand a long mountain tobacco stick, the upper part of which was in the shape of a dragon's head, and under the barrel was a golden pipe, and a tobacco pouch hung next to the pipe.

This old man is Qi Tianma, the head of Qimen in Shuzhong. On the wall opposite the room was a shrine with a sword placed horizontally on the shrine, and on either side of the shrine was a couplet that read:

Since ancient times, it has been ploughed and read all over the world, and the whole family has always been healthy and happy.

There is a table of eight immortals under the shrine, and there is a set of pottery tea sets on the table, and there is a pottery teapot next to it, which feels a bit redundant. On the left wall, there hangs a long knife with a black handle, the whole knife is more than a zhang long, and the blade is more than two feet long.

Shen Feiyang was still looking at the layout of the room, and at some point, the two girls just now didn't see it, and after a while, the woman in red had poured two cups of tea and sent them to the table of the Eight Immortals.

"Hongyan, you take your sister Honglian to the back first and shout to your father, saying that there is a guest coming, go quickly. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he took a puff of mountain smoke. It can be heard that the two girls who just led the way, the older one is called Hongyan, and the younger one should be called Honglian. The old man stood at the door and raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation: "Please come in and drink tea." Shen Feiyang said that he was disturbed, and followed the old man in, and the guest and host sat down. After Shen Feiyang drank a cup of tea, the old man first asked:

"What's the gentleman's surname, where did he come from, and what is the matter with finding the old man?"

"The junior is surnamed Shen, coming down from the snow mountain, I want to ask the old gentleman a question, I don't know if it's okay?"

"As long as the old man knows, he knows everything, and he says everything, just say it. ”

"Thank you, sir. ”

Shen Feiyang was about to take out the plum blossom needle he was carrying to testify with the old gentleman, when footsteps sounded outside the door, and a man's voice came:

"Father, I've picked up all the ripe medicines from the mountain, do you still put them in the old place?"

The old man said to Shen Feiyang: "Mr. Shen, wait a minute, I'll come when I go." With that, he walked out. Shen Feiyang looked at this room again, there were still a few inconspicuous small bottles on the shrine, at first he didn't see it, he was attracted by the sword, so he didn't put the small bottle in his eyes, there was a small room behind the wall of this room, and the door was open on the right side of this room.

It turned out that this was the old man's fourth son, Qi and his entourage, came back from the appointment, he was relatively young, and he didn't know how to deal with some medicines, so he put the medicine hoe in the corner of the wall, put down the medicine in the bamboo frame on his back, and asked his father for advice.

The old man went out to negotiate with his son, what medicine to put where, which medicine should be steamed first and then dried, which one could not be dried directly, it should be dried in a cool place first, and which one should be mashed immediately. After negotiating this, he walked in and said to Shen Feiyang:

"I'm sorry, I just made you wait for a long time. "The old man seemed to have to take a puff of mountain smoke every time he said a word.

"It's okay, I'll show you something right now. With that, Shen Feiyang took off the package with plum blossom needles on his body and handed it to the old man. I didn't see the old man use any complicated movements, but I saw him gently pick up the pipe of the cigarette stick in his hand, and the package handed over by Shen Feiyang was opened.

Seeing the two needles exposed inside, his face changed slightly, he pressed the two needles with his pipe, and asked coldly, "Where did you get the needles? What are you doing here?"

"I want to ask, are these two needles from your Qimen? Because these two needles killed my master. ”

At this time, Shen Feiyang had nothing to hide, and he needed to be polite, and he also raised his voice and replied.

At this time, Qi Tianma gently placed the cigarette pouch hanging under the pipe on these two needles, which was using this cigarette pouch to test whether the two needles were toxic.

After a while, Qi Tianma took the pipe away, then grabbed one with the index finger and thumb of his left hand, looked at it carefully, put it down, grabbed another one, also looked at it, turned around and said to Shen Feiyang in an affirmative tone:

"I'm sorry, these two needles are not our Qimen embroidery needles, Mr. Shen, you should be mistaken. If there's anything else going on, then please go. ”

At this moment, two men came in outside, two of them were somewhat similar, they were about the same age, but the latter one was a little fatter, the former one was Qi Yixing who had just come back from digging medicine, and the latter one was Qi Tianma's third son, called Qi Yiyan. Qi and his entourage, who were walking in front, saw a stranger, and as soon as they entered the door, they asked:

"Father, here are the guests?"

"What kind of guest? This is not a guest. Give me a fare!"

Shen Feiyang had no choice but to stand up, turn around and walk out. As soon as he turned around, Qi Yiyan, who was walking behind, said in surprise:

"You, your surname is Shen, what's your name?"

This made everyone wonder, why did Qi Yiyan ask him what his name was as soon as he came in? Qi Yiyan continued, "Don't leave yet, it's not too late to leave when I ask clearly, you can sit down first." ”

Shen Feiyang thought that it was a big deal to explain things clearly, and I didn't have any unpleasant things with Qimen in Shuzhong, so I wouldn't be unable to walk, so I sat down.

"This gentleman, are you surnamed Shen? I think you really look like a person. ”

"My surname is Shen, who am I like?" Shen Feiyang had never been here before, and he also felt strange.

"I see that you are very similar to a person, his name is Shen Lang, may I ask, who are you?"

"Shen Lang, he is my father. ”

"I'm honest, you look so much like him, it turned out to be his son, I really didn't expect it, his sons are so tall. Where is he now, is he okay now?" Qi Yiyan asked Shen Feiyang a few questions in a row. As soon as Shen Feiyang heard him ask about his father, his eyes immediately turned red.

"Father, he...... He died fourteen years ago. ”

"What? Died fourteen years ago. Qi Yiyan listened to Shen Feiyang's words, with a completely disbelieving expression, "Okay, you sit down and talk slowly." ”

Shen Feiyang told Qi Yiyan everything he had learned: Fourteen years ago, he was only five years old, and he only had a general impression of his father, listening to his master, his father was hunted down by the enemy and died outside, and now he doesn't know where his father's bones are.

I only heard rumors in the rivers and lakes that he was killed by people who specialized in assassination on the rivers and lakes, but I don't know who the other party is. After his father's death, he was sent to the Tien Shan Mountains. It wasn't until he was eighteen years old that the Tianshan master sent him back to the Snow Mountain Sect, but he didn't expect to run into it when he went back, the Snow Mountain Sect was sacked by the enemy, and now the Snow Mountain Sect was left alone, and when he said this, he couldn't stop crying. Qi Yiyan listened to it and said:

"Virtuous nephew, my name is Qi Yiyan, you can call me Third Uncle Qi. Your father and I were good friends when he was alive, and we haven't seen him since we broke up in Guilin, Guangxi Province eighteen years ago. I rarely walked around the rivers and lakes, and I didn't know that he had been killed by the enemy. Now it's imperative to find out who your father's killer is. ”

"Hey, Hongyan and Honglian, go and tell your mother that you can make dinner early tonight and get some more vegetables. Qi Yiyan thought that Shen Feiyang hadn't eaten, and now it's too late for lunch and too early for dinner, so let the family cook a meal earlier, and eat two meals together; Eighteen years, I haven't seen my old friend, I have seen my old friend's son, this is also a kind of fate, why do you have to leave Shen Feiyang for a meal before leaving, so that you can count as a little landlord friendship of old friends.

"It's rare to see you, don't leave today, rest here for a few days before leaving. ”

"That bothers Third Uncle Qi. "Shen Feiyang was really hungry when he came, and he wanted to stay and listen to Third Uncle Qi tell him about his father's situation. I only heard some of my father's previous situation, and everything I heard was fragmentary, maybe asking Qi Yiyan to talk about his father's previous affairs would help him to a certain extent.

"Third Uncle Qi, my father was good friends with you when he was alive, how did you meet him, please tell me, maybe it will be helpful to find the cause of his death. ”

"Well, I'll tell you if it helps in this matter, well, it's a long story. ”

So Qi Yiyan gave a general idea of the process of his acquaintance with Shen Lang:

Eighteen years ago, Qi Yiyan was just twenty-nine years old, when Shen Lang was thirty-one years old, that summer he believed that his martial arts were strong and wanted to go out to practice, so he begged his father Qi Tianma to go to the outside world to take a walk, take a look, hope to see the outside world, his father couldn't stand Qi Yiyan's torture, and finally agreed to Qi Yiyan.

Qi Yiyan heard that Guilin's landscapes are the best in the world, and Yangshuo's landscapes are the best in Guilin, so he set his first stop in Guilin, Guangxi.

I played all the way, and on the third day, I arrived in Guilin, Guangxi. For several days in a row, Qi Yiyan visited Longji Terraced Fields, Changfa Village, Huangluoyao Village, Duxiu Peak, Elephant Trunk Mountain, Mulong Lake, Ancient Song City, Night Guilin, Yinziyan, Yulong River, Xanadu, Jingjiang Palace, Yangshuo West Street, Night Guilin, and Gudong Forest Waterfalls.

He left his last stop on the Li River.

The Li River is the essence of the landscape in Guilin - the Elephant Trunk Mountain Li River originates in Huajiang Township, Xing'an County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the highest peak of the Yuechengling Mountain Range of 400 miles, the northeast of Mao'er Mountain is 1,732 meters above sea level, and the south side of the old mountain boundary is based on the base of the Yellow Sea.

Surrounded by mountains, the bamboo sea is vast, the main source of the Li River, the turtle river and the Shamu River, meet in the ten-mile canyon of the Gaozhai village area at the foot of the mountain - the ten-mile canyon of Mao'er Mountain, connect the Longtang River in the south and west, the Heidong River in the east, call the Liutong River after the confluence of the three rivers, flow south to the front of the Simen and the Huangbai River, the confluence of the Sichuan River is called the Da Rong River, and the confluence of the Ling River near the Rongjiang Town, it is called the Li River.

The Li River passes through Lingchuan County and passes through Guilin City, and joins the Gongcheng River in the north of Pingle Town, Pingle County, with a total length of 164 kilometers. Pingle Town is hereinafter referred to as Guijiang. The river continues south to Wuzhou and joins the Xijiang River. The scenery of the Li River has the reputation of "four wins" of green mountains, beautiful waters, strange caves and beautiful stones.

The 83-kilometer section of the Li River from Guilin to Yangshuo is the essence of the Li River, as well as the beautiful scenery of "deep pools, dangerous shoals, flowing springs, and waterfalls", which is a typical, rich and concentrated area for the development of karst terrain, and concentrates the essence of Guilin's landscapes, making people have the feeling of "traveling on the blue waves in a boat, and people are swimming in the painting".

The depiction of the scenery in this area is evidenced by several poems:

Tao Qian, Peng Ze, five willows

Panyue Heyang county flower

How are the two places as good as Yangshuo

There are people living in Bilian Peak

---- Tang Dynasty school secretary Lang Shang Shulang Shen Bin

Since ancient times, the mountains are picturesque

Now the painting is like a mountain

Matu presents nine songs

Strange things are in the world

----- Qing Dynasty, Xu Yunyangshuo can be called Guilin

The peaks reflect the mountains and float in the water

No water, no mountains, no distraction

----- Wu Mai
