Let's not talk about how a few people got to the Five Immortals Mountain, let's talk about my state of mind today.

The little girl Ruan Shuipei is going up the mountain to go home, and I am the same. Last night, I packed my bags to go home, and after I got off work at half past two today, I would take the shuttle bus to Jifeng Mountain home. I haven't been home for a month, and I can't hold back the excitement in my heart. Originally, I thought that there would be some obstacles to Ruan Shuipei's and a few people's way up the mountain, but I couldn't bear it. That being the case, let's set their hardships and hardships in the follow-up plot, and I'll talk about it tomorrow! I heard that it was snowing in the mountains, and when I went home this time, I was going to climb Jifeng Mountain to have a look.

Without further ado, I'm going to begin the narrative of this chapter.

Ling and Yin thanked Jifengzhai again for their kindness and wanted to say goodbye. The three of them also remembered that Grandma Ruan Bing had said bad words about rushing up the mountain, and at that moment, Dai Hu looked at Ruan Shuipei and looked at the smart and clever little doll in front of him, and he was very reluctant. Then, he looked at Yan Bin with both eyes to see what he was planning in his heart.

Ruan Shuipei immediately understood, and said loudly: "The old wounds have not healed, and new ones have been added, not to mention that the wolves have not gone far, and the three of you can't deal with it." Even if you have wolf urine to defend yourself, I am afraid that they will catch you back to the wolf den and sleep and eat with you. Besides, on weekdays, grandpa doesn't like outsiders to disturb, now it's almost the New Year, I see grandpa is in a good mood, a few people go up the mountain to talk, maybe grandpa is happier!"

Dai Hu was very happy when he heard Ruan Shuipei say this, and Yan Bin also knew in his heart that it was impossible to eat and sleep with the wolves, and knew that the little girl in front of him was deliberately exaggerating. He is such a smart person, he has already come out, and this is the granddaughter of the grandmother of the Huanglong Gang, he never thought that there were still people on the mountain who were familiar with his family motto, and his curiosity prompted him to nod his head and promise.

Dai Hu saw Yan Bin nodding in agreement, and glanced at Ruan Shuipei, he was very happy.

Ruan Shuipei rubbed his little hands and said softly: "Since that's the case, let's go!" With that, he walked in the front to lead the way, Yin Jingping carried Duanmu Kang on his back, followed closely by Ling, Yan, and Yang, followed by the leopard and the snow wolf. Dai Hu walked at the back, and when he was leaving, he cut off another horse's leg and carried it on his shoulder, and happily chased after him.

Seeing Dai Hu like this, Ruan Shuipei smiled in his heart and said, "Big doll, are you going to carry it up the mountain?"

Dai Hu nodded and said, "Eat on the way when you're hungry!

Ruan Shuipei laughed and said, "You don't have to plan for anyone, you should take precautions and let your brother teach you well." Dai Hu said: "Yes, your little doll is so smart, it's just planning." It's just preparing for everyone in advance!"

Ruan Shuipei saw that he couldn't explain it for a while, so he said: "Okay, okay, you can resist, and throw it away when you can't carry it." ”

I didn't notice it in the distance, but when I walked in, I realized that the mountain was towering, covered with snow, adding some coldness, making people have the illusion that they were staring at themselves with cold eyes, and they couldn't help but stand upside down and feel cold on their backs.

The mountain can't speak, but it seems to go straight to people's hearts, Yan Bin and others can't help but feel cold in their hearts. Even people like Dai Hu, who usually like to play around, are speechless at the moment, feeling that they are about to be completely conquered by this snowy mountain.

Ruan Shuipei's words broke the silence, and she said, "Let's go up quickly! It won't be easy when the snow falls heavily in a while." After that, he took the lead in climbing the mountain, followed by Ling Fangrui, Yin Jingping tied Duanmu Kang to his back, and the rest of the people also climbed up.

It took about half an hour, even if it was not long, but every step was trembling, and everyone was tired enough. At the top of the mountain, there is an open field, and slowly, several people breathe evenly, and finally, the body and mind relax. Dai Hu was already fat, and he was carrying the whole horse's legs to climb the mountain, at this time, he was lying on the ground on his back, screaming again and again.

Ruan Shuipei raised his hand to sort out his red lace cotton hat, saw Dai Hu like this, and said, "Big doll, you are really powerful, you really resisted it." ”

Dai Hu exhaled and said, "It's too hard." Since it's for everyone, I'll roast it for everyone now. ”

Ruan Shuipei smiled: "You big doll, why do you want to eat it again!"

Dai Hu made a helpless expression and said, "Eat when you have time, if you are hungry in the future, you can endure for a few more days!"

Ruan Shuipei dissuaded and said: "Don't eat now, I'll treat you to eat well later, I can't say if you're hungry in the future, but when you get to the mountain, you are a guest, and you won't be hungry." Yoyo, and said: "Be careful, under our feet, there is a lake." ”

Only then did several people realize that the open land in front of them turned out to be a lake, and because of the cold winter, the lake was frozen. It is not surprising that many of the mountains have lakes.

Dai Hu reluctantly looked at the horse meat and said, "Okay, I'll treat you now, and this horse meat will be given to your snow wolf leopard!"

Ruan Shuipei instructed the leopard to go over and take away the horse meat next to Dai Hu with his mouth. said to everyone: "This is the Five Immortal Mountain, there are nine caves and eighteen caves, and I will lead everyone to visit them one by one later." Rest for a while, and we'll go. It's been a while, it's time for grandpa to look for me. ”

Along the way, Ruan Shuipei gave everyone a rough introduction to the Five Immortals Mountain, it turned out that there were nine caves and eighteen caves here, all of which were made of nature and not artificially carved.

In this way, while listening to Ruan Shuipei's introduction to the Five Immortal Mountains, he walked without hurry. It's almost noon, the snow has stopped at this time, and a few people have already walked through the lake that has already frozen into ice, and a few rays of sunlight shine through the clouds and sprinkled on the Wuxian Mountain, which is very beautiful.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang not far away. Everyone heard it clearly, but without knowing what was happening, they stopped and looked at each other.

Yan Bin said: "Is it an avalanche?"

Dai Hu shook his head and said, "When I listen, it's more like the sound of huge firecrackers." ”

Yan Bin ignored it, and several people looked at Ruan Shuipei, hoping that the little doll in front of him would tell Fang Cai about the reason for the loud noise. Ruan looked in the direction of the sound, listened carefully, but there was no sound, and said, "No!" There was also a questioning expression on his face.

Immediately, Ruan Shuipei quickly led everyone through a forest, and in front of him was a cave, and said to Ling Fangrui: "Sister, you rest here first, and I'll go over to see what the reason for the loud noise is! When she spoke, her face was a little solemn, and then she rode on the leopard and left with the snow wolf.

Several people believed that the little girl in front of them would not harm themselves, so they walked into a cave and sat on a stone chair to rest. The furnishings in the cave are very simple, but fortunately, the light penetrates and is very bright. And it is this simple furnishing that gives people a sense of naturalness.

Yan Bin was originally a scholar, and he was attracted by the two stone tablets in the cave at this moment, on one side is "The Story of the Five Immortal Caves", and on the other side is "Fuze Temple". Take a closer look.

After checking the information, I learned that it turned out that "The Story of the Five Immortal Caves" was written by Zhao Xiyuan, the first year of Song Ningzong's Kaixi mission, Lang Tong, the military state affairs of Chengzhou, and the seal of Xin Wei. "Fuze Temple" was given by Zheng Zhaoxian, the governor of the Privy Council and the governor of the Privy Council, and Shi Miyuan, the prime minister of Zuo, in February of the eighth year of Jiading. These two steles are important materials for the study of the development of religion and culture in the Southern Song Dynasty. I'm ashamed, I only learned today that the Five Immortal Mountains in our Chengxian County were so famous. There is no need for superfluous introductions, and detailed information about the two steles can be easily found on the Internet.

Yan Bin was looking at the stone tablet and was fascinated, but Ling Fangrui was attracted by the crooked lines of small characters carved on the wall, although these words were a little blurry, they could still be seen clearly. Text:

"The wind and rain are drifting, and the head is white for many years. The flowers are dyed with zero water, and the red beans will never fall in love. Last night, I dreamed of a beautiful woman, and Xiao Lai thought about it again and again. After a thousand years of drunkenness, it is another day to wake up. In the seventh year of Xuanhe (1125), the heartbroken people were unbearable to hate, and finally did the end of the world tired, and when they first arrived at the Five Immortal Mountains, they woke up and felt sexual, and the rhyme was ignored.

A few more lines:

"There is no wind, and the intestines are broken by the lotus letter. The water is cloudy, and the shadows of several peaks are hanging. To the hard work, the cold and heat are tormenting, the fight for immortality, and the dream of autumn hall is quiet. Yu Ji waved the moon, sent a little cool, and did not hesitate to do his best. The sunset under the willows is closed, the water is revisited, the flowers are on the grass, and the snow is cold. Ask the summer resort, there are strange people, but to the lake, who in the world wakes up?"

Ling Fangrui said in her heart: "It is now the fifth year of Shaoxing (1135), ten years. Come to think of it, he is really tired of the world, this place is not far from the Huanglong Gang, and when he thinks about it, his heart is still on his grandmother. ”

Immediately, he saw some small words, bits and pieces, just one or two sentences, Ling Fangrui said in her heart: "These small words should be the title when he was thinking about it endlessly and lovesick and difficult to send." ”

When I saw the words such as "gathering and scattering in a hurry, thinking about hatred and hatred, when will I rest" and "lovesickness to the bones, feeling the white head of Wenjun", I couldn't help but think of what I had experienced over the years, and I really felt the same way, and my heart immediately had sympathy and pity for the person who wrote the inscription, and at the same time, it was also for myself!

Let's say that Nguyen Shui Pei rode a leopard and galloped away, followed the direction of the loud noise, familiarly passed through the pine forest and the cave, and stopped. But seeing that there was still a cave in front of her, of course she knew that it was a Xiangzi cave. Strange to say, at this time, the cave was filled with smoke and vaguely saw an old man in the cave, holding his chest with his right hand and supporting the ground with his left hand, panting heavily, and saying incessantly: "Creation! ”

Ruan Shuipei had already recognized this person, and asked suspiciously, "Grandpa, what are you doing here?"

The old man had already heard the voice of the speaker, and said, "The livestock have let go of the wind, have you ever reviewed your homework?"

Ruan Shuipei was silent, the old man naturally thought that she had already done it as before, and when she walked out of the cave, at this time, she really saw the figure of the whole person, unkempt, her clothes were untidy, and her skin was like charcoal.

Ruan Shuipei saw the old man's appearance, "haha", laughed, and said: "Grandpa, I haven't seen you for a long time, your appearance, haha, your appearance has changed so much!"

When the old man saw his arm, he realized his strange appearance at this time, and he also smiled at the moment, and said, "Then, grandpa will wash his face first and change his clothes." ”

The old man washed his face, and Ruan Shuipei on the side said: "Grandpa, I will let the livestock go as usual today, and I have a big matter to tell you." ”

The old man said: "You little doll, what can you do? At most, your leopard and wolf have hunted something! I understand your new instructions again! Not to mention your 'big deal', in two days, grandpa will give you a gift, I guarantee that you have not seen it!"

Ruan Shuipei hurriedly asked what the gift was, but the old man smiled silently, and then the old man continued to count: "A female doll is not good at reading and reading, and she actually learns to be a male doll." You still secretly learn the art of taming beasts, hey! There are so many books in Grandpa's room, but you don't study them well, and when you go back to your parents in the future, you should blame me for not teaching you well!"

Ruan Shuipei smiled and replied: "Grandpa, don't you often teach me that there are all kinds of ways in the world, and they can all be learned? This taming leopards and wolves can be regarded as knowledge! What's more, my father and mother only go up the mountain once a year, and in this mountain, apart from the two of us, there are also the farmers you entrusted to go up the mountain on time to sell grain, rice and clothes, and there is no one else, only to play with leopards and wolves! With them, Shui Pei is also very happy. You said that, you can't be sad about this disease right now. ”

The old man had washed his face, changed into clean clothes, and said, "You have sharp teeth, I can't talk about you!"

Ruan Shuipei threw herself into the old man's arms like a coquettish, and said in a low voice: "Grandpa, you can rest assured, there are so many books in your house, even if Shui Pei can't memorize them all, he has already been proficient in reading." If you don't believe me, you'll test me?"

The old man said, "It's okay! As long as you're happy, it's the best." ”

Ruan Shuipei smiled and swirled in the old man's arms, and said in a sincere tone unique to children: "Grandpa is happy, and Shuipei is naturally happy." What does Grandma look like, Shui Pei would like to see it when she arrives. He looked up and asked, "Grandpa, have you seen Grandma?"

The elder looked up at the sky, pondered for a long time, and said categorically: "Naturally, I have seen it, I have seen it decades ago. After a pause, he added: "Don't do it, slowly, you can let go of anything." It's like saying to yourself, "Yes, I can let go of everything, but I can't let go of you after all." ”

Ruan Shuipei saw that the old man's face became serious, so he didn't ask any more. In the past few years, every time I asked about my grandmother and my parents, the old man always refused to say. But one thing is very clear, Ruan Shuipei knows that because she is weak and seriously ill, someone went up the mountain to entrust her to her grandfather for treatment, and the old man told her more than once that although she is commensurate with her grandson, she is not related by blood. However, these things don't matter to her anymore, because she can't remember what her relatives were like, and she can't remember what happened with them. In her heart, she has long regarded the old man in front of her as her own grandfather. Ruan Shuipei has read a lot of books, and the old man often tells her interesting miscellaneous books and wild histories to make her happy. When she was bored, she would also guess the reason why her grandfather and grandmother never met, and thought about it many times. Sometimes I think: they were husband and wife many years ago, but for some reason they ended up separated. With grandpa's conversation knowledge, Grandma must be a peerless beauty, or she is not a good match.

It turned out that this old man was Huang Shang, and the little girl next to him was naturally Ruan Bing's granddaughter.

Ruan Shuipei is smart and clever, since grandpa refuses to say it, he has his reasons or difficulties, so he changed the topic at the moment and said, "Grandpa, what is the 'unseen gift' to give Shui Pei?"

Seeing that he refused to say it, Ruan Shuipei knew that except for the matter of his grandmother, his grandfather couldn't help himself, so he rolled in Huang Xiang's arms.

Huang Shang smiled bitterly, helpless, and said, "Okay, okay, you get up first, grandpa will take you to see it." ”

Ruan Shuipei really got up, stopped crying, pulled the corner of the old man's robe with his little hand, and the two walked towards the Xiangzi Cave

Huang Sheng took out two bamboo tubes with chopsticks and wrist thickness from the cave, smiled, and said, "I haven't seen the gift I prepared for you this year!"

Ruan Shuipei saw that his grandfather took out two bamboo tubes, his heart was half cold, and he said in his heart: "Grandpa's mysterious and mysterious spirit turned out to be only two bamboo tubes." Suddenly, she seemed to have discovered something, and it turned out that a tail grew out of the firecracker port, and exclaimed: "Grandpa, this bamboo tube is very common, but the one in your hand has a tail, is it possible that it will be tricky?"

Huang Shang was very proud, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, the bamboo tube in Grandpa's hand can do tricks! This bamboo tube contains saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal and other things." Pointing to the "tail" of the bamboo tube, he continued: "You see, these two 'tails' are called leads, and if they are lit with a fire fold, the bamboo tube will fly up to the sky by itself! ”

Ruan Shuipei said: "It turns out that this little bamboo tube is so powerful! Grandpa, let me try one first." After that, he was going to get the bamboo tube in Huang Shang's hand.

Huang Sheng hurriedly said: "I can't do it, I can't do it now, I have to wait until the evening, light it, and the colors and patterns can be seen! Moreover, the amount of materials used by Grandpa is not sure for the time being, so he tried to order one, you heard it! Think about what Grandpa looked like at that time." ”

Ruan Shuipei hurriedly retracted his hand and said, "This little thing, it's so loud, what is the name of the grandfather going to give it?"

Huang Shang said: "It has long been famous! It is called 'firecrackers', during the New Year, many households under the mountain will light it, but at night it is the time for you to heal the injury, has been in the cave, naturally I have not seen it." However, most of today's firecrackers have been replaced by paper tubes instead of bamboo, and grandpa has tried many times to make firecrackers with paper tubes, but without success. Therefore, follow the example of the ancients and try to make it with bamboo tubes. ”

Ruan Shuipei said: "Since this is called 'firecrackers', others will make it, and grandpa naturally has no reason not to know." ”

Huang Sheng stroked Ruan Shuipei's head and said, "Interlaced lines are like mountains, I have been making this thing for more than a year, but the amount of various raw materials is always not well grasped." However, Grandpa will try to make it this year. When spring dawns and your illness is cured, go down the mountain, and your parents will naturally buy you a lot of new things, including these 'firecrackers'! However, grandpa wants to do a good job for you this year. ”

Ruan Shuipei said: "Grandpa is so good! But, you said to go down the mountain? Where will Shui Pei go after coming down the mountain?"

Huang Shang said: "Naturally, when you return to your parents, you will have different friends, know different people, and then, grow up happily, find a man who is happy again, and live your life." ”

Ruan Shuipei seemed to be in tears when Huang Sheng said it, but she didn't cry, and choked up: "After the New Year, Shuipei's illness will be cured, and grandpa will drive me down the mountain." Hey!"

Huang Shang saw Ruan Shuipei crying and sad, so he naturally couldn't bear it, and said: "It's not to drive my grandson down the mountain, just go back to your own home, live the life you should live, stay in the mountain all the year round, be with my old man who is about to die, be with leopards and wolves, it won't work after all." ”

Ruan Shuipei cried out with a "wow" and said: "Grandpa, Shui Pei really doesn't want to go down the mountain, the two of me who come up to the mountain every year to see it, you say that they are Shui Pei's parents, Shui Pei naturally believes it." It can also be seen that they are not bad people, and they treat me very well, but they are not familiar with them after all. ”

Huang Sheng comforted: "Okay, let's not cry first, if we don't want to go down the mountain, let's not go down the mountain! Mountain people naturally have the joy of mountain people, and they don't have to envy its worldly fireworks." ”

Ruan Shuipei's crying gradually became quieter, from choking to calm, and said: "This crying and crying, I forgot to say what Shui Pei encountered when he was letting the livestock wind today." ”

Only then did Huang Sheng understand that Ruan Shuipei said at that time, "Tell me something", it was far more than a leopard and a wolf. At the moment, he asked softly: "What's the matter, speak slowly, grandpa listen." ”

Ruan Shuipei said: "Grandpa, I went to let the livestock go today, and I saw a pack of wolves besieging a few people under the mountainside in the mountainside, and I saved them. So, Ruan Shuipei briefly said what happened this morning, but he didn't say that he had taken them up the mountain, nor did he say anything about Duanmu Kang.

After hearing this, Huang Sheng often sighed and said, "Oh, it turns out that this time it's not a matter of leopards and wolves." Although you didn't do anything wrong, but grandpa didn't sing to you, people are unpredictable, and you never know what they think through your belly. ”

Ruan Shuipei argued: "No, they don't seem to be bad people, and they still invite me to eat horse meat." ”

Huang Shang said, "What? You still eat with them, it's just nonsense!" was obviously a little angry, but he held back the anger in his heart and said in a tone as calm as possible.

Ruan Shuipei saw that his grandfather, who was usually soft-spoken, was a little angry at the moment, and it was not easy to immediately say that he had taken a few people up the mountain.

However, I was really afraid of something, and a voice came from not far away: "Little doll, where are you?"
