Two: The son of heaven

It's been more than three days since I came out of the village. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The space in the carriage was okay, not too big, and it seemed a little rich with only their seven children, but there were some bumps along the way.

The carriage was driven by the third uncle, and the two Daomen disciples of the Wushuang Pavilion sat beside him, and they did not huddle with the children in the carriage.

The mountain road is very steep, so steep that it is frightening, even ordinary people will be cautious when walking on this road, the two white horses are blindfolded, and the third uncle is concentrating on driving the carriage, without a little sloppiness. Beneath this cliff lies an abyss, where all of them would die if they made a mistake.

The three people outside the car rarely spoke, the third uncle specialized in driving the carriage, and the other two Wushuang Pavilion disciples meditated and cultivated on the other two sides, not asking anything else.

The taste along the way was not pleasant, and they could still bear it silently on the first day. But from the next day, several little girls began to complain in private, that they were too tired to ride in the carriage, and that there were constantly pits or high stones on the mountain road, and that the carriage made violent bumps when it walked on it, which made the children in the carriage cry bitterly.

Especially those girls, they were all clamoring to go home, if it wasn't for the female disciple who came forward to persuade them for a long time, I am afraid that they would have cried a long time ago.

The other boys also expressed their displeasure and complained. Gu Ning sat in the car without saying a word, he sat at the back of the car, huddled there with his legs in his arms, and ate when it was time to eat, when it was convenient, and at other times he buried his head in his legs and did not speak, and he hardly spoke to other children.

When they were in the village, these playmates of the same age hated their poor family and did not play with them, and over time, Gu Ning hardly had any contact with them. Those children often teamed up to bully him, saying that he was actually a wild child, without a father or mother, and whenever this time, Gu Ning walked away alone, stubbornly not speaking, not crying, and for a long time they had little contact with this group of children.

He didn't know how much money his father had spent to create this opportunity for himself this time, and he had to cherish it very much. He had wanted to come in before but was refused, and later learned that they had bribed the village chief and the third uncle to go. He had to succeed, that was his and his father's dream.

The mountain road was as difficult as ever, and the speed was gradually slowing down, and Gu Ning could feel that the car was climbing uphill, and it was a very steep slope, a steeper slope than any before. The other children couldn't help but poke their heads out of the window to look out the window, and the magnificent scenery of the mountains and rivers made those children who had never been out of the mountains exclaim. Even Gu Ning couldn't help but lift the curtains of the carriage, and he was shocked in his heart, is this the outside world? He often heard his father say that he used to mingle outside, and it was a beautiful world, countless times bigger than here.

Since he walked to this place, he has really been able to understand that the dozen or so families in his small mountain village are not even anything.

A drop in the ocean.

At this time, the third uncle's voice sounded in the ears of several children: "We are going up the steepest slope, you should be careful in the carriage." It's much better after this slope. As soon as he finished speaking, the seven children, including Gu Ning, all moved horizontally to the rear of the carriage due to inertia, and the original rear of the carriage became the bottom, and the original bottom almost became the surrounding wall.

It's almost vertical, and how steep the mountain is. Gu Ning thought to himself.

However, he didn't have the heart to think about it now, and the children around him were almost arguing with him to death. This sudden change caused the other children to fall into a panic. The boys cried and screamed for their parents, and the girls screamed loudly, without the atmosphere of looking at the scenery with joy just now.

As if they could see it from the outside, they would be frightened. The hill is not very wide, only two zhang wide, and there are still a few miles to reach the top. The two white horses pulled hard, like an ant holding a grain of rice climbing a thousand-year-old tree, and there was a risk of falling at any time.

The carriage was rapidly rising, the horses were neighing and roaring together, pulling the carriage together, and the third uncle shouted in his mouth, constantly whipping with a leather whip to stimulate the horses' nerves and make them continue to exert force.

Although the road is quite wide, the almost vertical slope makes it seem as if the carriage is hanging in the air. The uneven road made the carriage bounce several times, and everyone's hearts hung over their heads. If the carriage is unleashed or retreats, they will be in a doomed place.

If one step was not taken, the carriage would retreat until they fell off a cliff and were crushed to pieces.

The third uncle, who had been smiling all over his face in the past, also showed a rare seriousness at this time, and the two Peerless Pavilion disciples beside him also opened their eyes and looked at everything around them. His brows continued to furrow, and he shook his head slightly. I don't know if it's because of the dangerous situation that worries them or because of the crying of the children in the car.

The carriage struggled through the clouds, and the neighing of horses and the cries of children in the carriage echoed through the mountain stream.

The other children hid in the back of the carriage and hugged each other and cried bitterly, without a backbone, they were like street children drifting with the tide, without a destination.

On the contrary, Gu Ning never made a sound, he tried to stand firm in the carriage, and put his body by the window, he wanted to see the scenery outside, and he didn't want to be a bird trapped in a cage.

He looked out the window at the misty mountain scene, his small eyes were clear and transparent, and his mud-stained face was full of longing. He had an idea in his heart, he did his best to be selected, only then could he live a good life, live in a big house, have clothes to wear in warm winters and cool summers, have rice and meat to eat for three meals a day, and let his father live a good life.

Since he can remember, their family will go to fetch some meat and come back to make some meat dumplings every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year's Eve, and the father and son will eat enough. Every year at that time, it is Gu Ning himself who is the happiest. The concept of eating meat in his heart is the happiest thing. Other times, if you want to eat meat, you have to spend a day catching pheasants and hares, and you may end up in vain.

He didn't know how big the outside world was, how wonderful and colorful it was. He also knew that he might not be chosen, but he was still sent back, and he was an ordinary and useless person again for the rest of his life. In fact, he was very scared in his heart, but the strength that he had been tortured since he was a child made him a little perverted and mature at the same age. He doesn't show his pain, he doesn't show his things to others, and almost all the weeping and joy he bears in his heart alone.

The carriage slowly climbed upward, and they had almost reached the top of the slope. After another 300 meters, everyone could clearly feel that their carriage was coming back again, it was really coming back, and it had stopped.

At this time, the third uncle's voice sounded again: "Children, come out and breathe." ”

They shouted with joy that they could finally come out and play.

They are very excited, although they live in the mountains all year round, they are only at the foot of the mountain, how can they see the infinite scenery above the mountaintop.

Just like the poet cloud in ancient times: it will be the top of the mountain, and the mountains will be small.

The wind at the top of the mountain was very strong, and the fingers of the male disciples of the Peerless Pavilion emitted a little light, enveloping everyone's heads, and suddenly they felt that they had entered another space, as if they were wrapped up, and there was not a single wind blowing.

The eyes of all the children widened, and they looked at him in amazement.

A girl had starlight in her eyes and said with a look of fascination: "Big brother, you are so powerful, can you teach me." ”

The male disciple smiled and said, "Yes, as long as you can be selected." Don't call me big brother, just call me senior brother, and the one on the side is called her senior sister. ”

"Senior brother, senior sister!" For a while, several children chattered as if they had been coated with honey.

"Okay, we have come all the way here, brothers and sisters, you are also fortunate, and your senior sister and I have also evaluated your achievements after a long way of inspection. Luckily, one of us will be able to walk with us now, while someone else will follow your third uncle to the town and come back after a while. The male disciple said with a smile on his face, like a warm wind, blowing on everyone's faces, and the voice was very good, even Gu Ning, a child, was intoxicated.

But when he said that someone could be lucky to be chosen by them this time, all the children's eyes were shining, and they couldn't wait to gather around the senior brother, gossiping: "Big brother, it's me, it's me!"

"It's me, it must be me!"

"It's not necessarily me, it's me, I'm the best. ”

"Don't rob it, of course it's me. ”

All the children gathered around him, hoping that the lucky one would be him. However, Gu Ning didn't, he stood aside, looked at it quietly, and continued to look at the endless mountain scenery.

His father once told him that he had to go out for a walk no matter what he lived, otherwise he would always be a frog at the bottom of the well, not knowing the beauty outside.

At that time, he didn't know what this sentence really meant, but now he is a little ignorant.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, kids, it's not you who disappointed you, it's not you, it's the kid, Gu Ning. The senior brother looked at him with a smile on his face.

The other children looked at him in surprise with shocked expressions. Zhang Dahu said: "No, how could it be him, he was born as a poor baby, why is he." What qualifications does he have!"

Even Gu Ning himself was stunned, didn't he only go to the Wushuang Pavilion to screen? Why did he choose here? And he was lucky to choose himself.

He knew that it was not a dream, it was real.

"It's not up to you whether he is qualified or not, little brother, young people can be proud, but they can't be domineering, you can't practice like this. There is a reason why he was chosen by us after a hundred years. ”

"Why, why him, I don't believe it. Why can't we?" said the girl.

Although they grew up together, they didn't care about anything at all for the sake of their future choices.

The senior brother didn't pay attention to their words, turned his head to look at the third uncle and said, "You take them well, we will meet the sect first, and when you come back to report, I will take him back first." ”

After speaking, in the shocked look of everyone's eyes, the two disciples of the Wushuang Pavilion waved their hands, and the blue light enveloped Gu Ning and disappeared into this place with them.
