The morning sun was scorching, the white clouds almost stayed awake all night, and it was almost the fifth watch before falling asleep in a daze, and when he woke up, he found that Dou Changan was sitting by the extinguished bonfire with his eyes closed, and the bun of balls on his head was untied by him, like catkins fluttering in the wind.

"Awake?" Dou Changan opened his eyes and tied up a high bun of balls again.

"I thought about it all night, but I still didn't go back to Yunmengze. Dou Changan said coldly.

Bai Yun snorted in surprise.

"How about I make a deal with you?" said Dou Changan with a slight bow.

The second monk of Bai Yun Zhangzhang was at a loss, and said generously: "The seniors have something to say, and Bai Yun will naturally do his best if he can help." ”

Dou Changan nodded, and said with a very rare face: "You go to a place with me, and I will send you down to Jiangnan, how about it?"

"Good. Bai Yun said happily, that middle-aged man with a strange temper had saved him twice, even if he wanted him to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, he would never give up.

"Without further ado, let's go. Dou Changan straightened his face again and took the lead in getting up.

Bai Yun was very curious about where Dou Changan was going to take him, but seeing Dou Changan's solemn expression, he didn't speak much for a while, so he just silently followed Dou Changan all the way.

After walking for about two hours, the two finally walked out of the dense forest, and the water of the Yangtze River poured for thousands of miles

Dou Changan walked in front, changed his previous words, and was silent along the way.

"Senior, where are we going?" Bai Yun couldn't help but ask.

"Go and worship an old man. Dou Changan didn't look back, but said in a calm tone.

The sound of the waves ups and downs, involved in the ear curtain, the terrain on both sides of the Yangtze River changes very quickly, just out of the dense forest, the two banks began to become rugged and difficult to walk, the size of the stones piled down from the upstream is piled up on the shore, the further you go, the more so, the terrain gradually becomes a ravine, a steep cliff of about ten zhang in front of you blocks the way, Dou Changan turned a blind eye, raised his sleeves and stepped on the swallow, and easily floated along the cliff to the top of the cliff, although the white clouds were not as chic and relaxed as Dou Changan, but it did not take much effort to climb to the top of the cliff。

After climbing to the top of the cliff, Baiyun found that there was a continuous cliff in front of him, and the peaks and mangs joined together to form a series of steep mountain gorges, and scattered huge gravel fell on the river surface, dividing the vast and flat Yangtze River into several pieces, and countless undercurrents were born.

Dou Chang stood with his hands in his hands, looking down on all living beings from above, stopping and looking down at the mountains and valleys, his brows stretched slightly, and his steps were like walking on the clouds and the sea of clouds, passing through the ravines, and so repeatedly turning over seven or eight mountains and valleys of all sizes.

The white clouds followed like a shadow, and Dou Changan finally stopped at the peak of the eighth gorge, and there was curling smoke in the distance.

There is a chain bridge in front of you, which leads to another hill.

The two walked across the chain bridge, and Bai Yun was shocked to find that on the other side of the chain bridge, the mountain was no longer as intermittent as the peaks and valleys that had just skimmed, but a piece of undulating peaks, a mountain road made of stone slabs, like a long snake hovering between the peaks, running through this connected mountain range, which was similar to the Panlong Ancient Road in Jixia Mountain.

People walk through mountain streams, from time to time there is fog drifting, and the distant towns flicker, like a paradise mirage hidden in the clouds.

Approaching the town where a tiger is hovering on the waist of the mountain, the white clouds are like a world away, and behind the town, there is a peak like a sword into the sheath, and above the mountainside is a mist in the sky, which has become a unique scenery in the town.

The rock-hewn city tower checkpoint is the gateway to enter the town, and the top of the city tower is engraved with three big characters of Hengshan City, which is about the reason that it has been weathered for many years, and has faded the original pen and ink vermilion paint, making the whole town look old.

Dou Changan stopped slightly, looked up at the three words of Hengshan City, and walked into the city expressionlessly.

Bai Yun's gaze also stayed on the three words of Hengshan City for a long time, thoughtfully.

The scene in the city is not as steep as it is seen from a distance, and it is not a desperate place to survive by clinging to the steep cliffs with the cornices and walls.

The road in the city is quite open, and I don't know who has such great ability, and the whole steep peak is cut in half, and the high and strange mountain suddenly seems to be on the ground, like a col in the mountains, from which this town was built between the cliffs and ravines.

Dou Changan slowed down intentionally or unintentionally, and when Baiyun walked side by side with him, and came to this small town of Hengshan with good scenery by mountains and rivers, his mood seemed to be a lot brighter, and he took the initiative to open the conversation as always: "Have you ever heard of Hengshan City?"

The two walked side by side on the sparsely populated street, and Bai Yun shook his head and said truthfully, "I haven't heard of it." ”

Dou Changan stopped talking, and Yun Qingfeng laughed lightly.

Dou Changan led Bai Yun to a roadside tea house, and a crooked Song Ji tea house flag was dashing in the wind.

The business of the tea house was very deserted, Dou Changan and Bai Yun found a table and sat down, and when they saw that there was a business opening, the shopkeeper hurriedly came over.

"Do you want the two guest officers to eat something?" said that it was the shopkeeper, but in this tea house the size of dried tofu, the second shopkeeper was kicked, and when he was a father and a mother, he naturally couldn't be lazy when he saw a guest coming to the door.

"Two bowls of sake, three catties of beef in sauce and two catties of chicken tips. Dou Changan didn't ask if there were any of these dishes in the store, so he blurted out.

Bai Yun thought to himself, it is obviously the flag of the tea house here, but why is Dou Changan ordering sake, could it be that this tea house is selling dog meat on the head of a sheep?

"Okay, come right away!" said the shopkeeper with a smile, and when his eyes fell on the middle-aged man with his balls tied up and his hair in a bun and his face full of stubble, his eyes rose and fell without a trace, but then he returned to the back kitchen to prepare the dishes.

Before the tea was served, the shopkeeper brought hot sauced beef and chicken tips to the table, and hurriedly walked back to the back kitchen to bring out two bowls of wine, which was a little relieved, for fear of neglecting the two guests.

The shopkeeper put the tablecloth in his hand back on his shoulder, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a bright smile: "Please use it slowly, two of you." ”

But the shopkeeper's eyes still secretly glanced at Dou Changan from time to time.

There are not necessarily dishes and chopsticks on the table, Dou Changan directly rolled up his sleeves, reached out and stuffed a piece of sauced beef into his mouth, and suddenly his eyes bloomed like fireworks, and after a wolfing meal, he picked up a piece of oily and greasy chicken tips and feasted on it, and finally did not forget to suck his fingers stained with chicken fat.

"Speaking of chicken tips, it's still the taste of your old Song family!" Dou Changan raised his head and smiled.

The shopkeeper surnamed Song was stunned for a moment, and finally recognized the idea in his heart, and said with joy: "Old Dou?"

"I haven't seen you for too long, you can't recognize me?" Dou Changan straightened his waist and said.

The shopkeeper of the tea house, who was about the same age as the middle-aged man, immediately frowned, shook his head and sighed: "Why haven't you seen you for too long? It's been more than 20 years in the blink of an eye, and I haven't heard from you, so where have you been." ”

"I've traveled all over the world. Dou Changan laughed.

"When I come back today, I want to settle all the wine accounts from 20 years ago?" quipped, the shopkeeper surnamed Song.

Dou Changan smiled and said nothing, he looked at the street with few people, and was puzzled: "Eh, why has the popularity of Hengshan City become so thin?"

"Well, it's a long story... The shopkeeper was about to confide in him when another guest came in.

"Old Dou, I'll talk about it later. With that, the shopkeeper bent down again to greet the guests.

Dou Changan picked up the wine bowl and spilled it on the ground without hesitation, and there were words in his mouth: "Drink wine first and respect the ground, and it will definitely become a great tool." ”

This weird middle-aged man usually seems to be a profligate wreck, if you talk about drinking, you can pay attention to it, always to drink to the ground to sprinkle a pass, a bowl of wine to serve, a good hand to pour half of it, look at this white flower sake all ruined on the ground, Rao is not familiar with the way of the white cloud can not help but feel distressed.

"Boy, there is a spirit in this heaven, and there is a spirit in the earth, if you drink wine and don't respect the heavens and the earth, it will not be spiritual. Dou Changan raised his hand and took a sip of wine, and said: "If you drink first, you will definitely become a great weapon, especially those of us who practice swords." ”

Bai Yun couldn't cry or laugh after hearing this, drinking first respectfully, it will definitely become a big thing, where does this come from?

Dou Changan had to waste his tongue to explain, and seeing that Baiyun did not move, neither drinking nor eating meat, he said to each other with white eyes: "Do it yourself, have enough food and clothing, you kid shouldn't expect me to feed you, right?"

"Eh, you don't have any habits, okay? Come on, I'd better sit farther away. Dou Changan has always been open-mouthed, but this time his expression became more and more strange, and he moved his buttocks to the other end of the tiger chair a little, and said in a low voice: "I can't find a little husband in this poor country." ”

Bai Yun realized it later, knowing that he couldn't compare to Dou Changan if he practiced for another ten years, so he simply rolled up his sleeves and took a piece of sauce beef and sent it to his mouth.

Bai Yun's gaze fell on the yellow and greasy chicken tip again.

"Senior, what is this plate?" Bai Yun asked.

"That's good stuff, chicken tip. Dou Changan was rare, and stuffed a piece of chicken tip into his mouth, and he took a big sip of wine and a large piece of meat.

"What's the tip of the chicken?" Bai Yun asked again.

"A chicken tip is a chicken tip. Dou Changan said angrily, and then took a sip of sake to himself, squinting his eyes and enjoying it very much.

Bai Yun hesitated for a moment, reached out and picked up a piece of chicken tip, felt that his hands were greasy, put it in his mouth according to the gourd painting scoop, chewed gently, and suddenly the oil juice splashed, wrapped in a smell of smoldering on the tip of the tongue, Bai Yun not only felt that this smell was disgusting, but felt that the flavor was unique.

"Taste?" said Dou Changan with a comfortable face.

Bai Yun nodded and replied, "It's chewy, and it has an evocative taste." ”

Tasting this kind of human delicacy for the first time, Bai Yun also learned from the middle-aged man to take a sip of sake, and raised his eyebrows: "Sake with chicken tips is a perfect match, sake is not as strong as spirits, and it enters the throat and tongue, just neutralizing the greasy texture of the chicken tips, which makes people have a sweet aftertaste." ”

"That's!" Dou Chang'an said proudly and said without paying attention: "It is very particular about making chicken tips, first of all, you have to choose a fat chicken butt... ”

Before Dou Changan could finish speaking, Bai Yun was surprised and hurriedly interrupted: "Chicken ass?"

Dou Changan nodded again and again, and said truthfully: "The tip of the chicken is the butt of the chicken." ”

"Why didn't you just say that. Bai Yun looked confused.

"Do you still eat it? I'll eat a big plate of chicken tips by myself, it's so boring. Dou Changan said again: "Where is there so much attention to the delicacy in the world, you don't care if it's made of chicken buttocks, this is called delicious." ”

At this time, the shopkeeper of the tea house finished his work and sat down with a bowl of sake.

"This Hengshan City has changed so much. Dou Changan no longer paid attention to Bai Yun, and pushed the tip of the chicken to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper took a piece of chicken tip and put it in his mouth, sighed with a sip of sake and said, "Since the head of Hengshan is gone, the sky has changed here." ”

While the two were talking, a group of sword-bearing disciples dragged a beautiful woman from the street, the woman cried loudly and was extremely desolate, but the passers-by just avoided one after another, and no one dared to come out to obstruct them.
