Guan Qianjian kept going, no choice of path, ran straight until dark, his bones were scattered, and his stomach was hungry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
But he didn't dare to stop for a while, and supported to drive out more than ten miles, and saw a small mountain spring on the side of the road, flowing down from the mossy mountain rocks, and being illuminated by the moonlight, it looked even more cool and sweet, and couldn't help jumping off the horse, lying down, and sucking the cow for a while.
When he had drunk his fill, he fell crooked by the spring, never wanting to move again, and when he moved slightly, his stomach rattled, like a water bag. He squinted for a moment, thinking of the appearance of the rabbit spirit and the devil, and his hands and feet regained some strength, and he got up with a grunt and stepped on the horse.
This rush did not stop until dawn.
For half a day and a night, without leaving the saddle, without eating or sleeping, I am afraid that there are few people in the world who are willing to work so tirelessly except for those who flee for their lives, and as for those who ask for their lives, they will not be able to commit it. Guan Qianjian thought so, so he planned to find something to eat first and fill his stomach.
Look at the position you are in, the right is against the cliff, the left is close to the cliff, the mountain road is rugged and narrow, there are a few places, with the flexibility of people's hands and feet, and only the side can barely move over, if you are not careful, there is the danger of falling off the cliff, if you change to a horse, it is difficult to say.
It's really a dead end, if you are caught up here, won't you have to wait for death?
Just as he turned around on this thought, the sound of horses' hooves was heard behind him.
Guan Qianjian thought that he was overtired and his mind did not belong, so that he hallucinated, put one hand on his ear, and listened sideways, which was clearly the sound of a horse's hooves hitting the rocks.
How could he catch up so quickly? He didn't shed tears when he saw the coffin, and thought: Most of them are not rabbit spirits, but they don't know if they are passing by. But in any case, it is not advisable to stay in the dangerous place for a long time, or thirty-six strategies, and go ahead.
He led the horse and decided to cross the cliff and see it again. This horse was originally an old horse, busy for a day and a night, and like Guan Qianjian, he was so hungry that his chest was close to his back, and the hard work was even worse than his. Once you rest, why do you want to go back on the road, let alone such a scary road?
At the beginning, Guan Qianjian walked in front, pulled the reins and pulled gently, the horse only cared about stretching his neck, sending his chin forward, and his limbs were as steady as Mount Tai; he was a little moved, his arms shook a few times, and the horse's temper seemed to follow, and he retracted his nose-for-tat; he didn't believe that he couldn't handle an animal, so he was sitting on the horse with his waist down, opening and closing wide, and pulling out his luck violently, the horse was not to be outdone, his legs leaned back slightly, and his buttocks sat back; he made a desperate bet, carried the reins on his shoulders, turned his back to the old ox pulling the cart, and rammed forward desperately, and the horse was still the same, not giving an inch of landγ
Guan Qianjian couldn't help but get anxious, and scolded bitterly: "If you don't leave, you will kick down the cliff and break your bones!" The horse didn't know what it meant to be broken, and blinked tiredly, looking like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.
Guan Qianjian suddenly felt pitiful again, symbolically kicked it twice on its front legs, hated iron and said: "Okay, if you don't go, I'll go by myself, you just block the road here, see if others don't push you down!"
The sound of hooves behind him approached, like a rattling war drum, and he panicked. Listening carefully, the two sides were only a few feet apart, and suddenly the sound changed from dull to open, and then the eyes lit up, and one person and one rode over the cliff and appeared in front of Guan Qianjian.
Not a rabbit spirit!
He is a Taoist priest.
Guan Qianjian was overjoyed.
Looking at the person carefully, the hair is in a high bun, the robe is light, the plump and handsome, and the heroic posture is vigorous. "What a handsome Taoist! The two of them are monks, and they are both immortals. Guan Qianjian secretly praised in his heart. The difference is that the monk is mellow, the Taoist priest is square, and the temperament is very different.
"Can the turtle son go?" he opened his mouth, his tone was extremely arrogant and rude, and Guan Qianjian's good impression of him disappeared immediately, knowing that this person was not a good person.
"This horse is useless, and when he sees the cliff, he does not dare to step forward or die. He ignored the other person's swearing.
"Since it's useless, isn't it easy to solve it if you have a sword with you?"
"Animals can't understand human speech, so it's useless to scare it......"
"Left and right are useless," said the Taoist priest, and as soon as the sword was raised, the horse did not have time to snort, and it was neatly broken into two pieces and rolled to the bottom of the cliff; β
Although Guan Qianjian admired his chic posture and clever methods, he hated him for acting arrogantly and domineeringly, glared at him angrily, and wanted to swallow him in a mouthful of water.
"Don't give way, do you want to follow the example of this beast?"
"The Taoist chief is extraordinary, and he must be famous in the rivers and lakes, how can he redeem his face and lose his face, and dare not ask for a name?"
"Fame really has a little bit, seeing that your eyes are about to erupt fire, do you want to avenge this beast, and you think that you are powerless to resist the power of my blow in front of you, so you will leave it for later? If you really have the guts, you will not be in a hurry to take your life today, and one day you will take the initiative to send it to the door. β
He boasted to himself, his legs were clamped, and one person and one rode like an arrow off the string, rushing towards Guan Qianjian.
Guan Qianjian had nowhere to dodge, and for a while he looked at the horse rushing in, not knowing what to do.
When he got closer, the Taoist lifted the reins, and the horse's front hooves soared into the air and jumped high, as if it had wings.
Guan Qianjian hurriedly squatted to dodge, the horse's hind hooves were brushing over his head, and in the blink of an eye, the four hooves fell to the ground, and the two sides switched positions.
He walked less than two feet forward, turned over and dismounted, sat down on a rock jutting out of the roadside, and held his sword on the ground, looking around at the mountains, as if there was no one beside him.
In this way, the road was blocked by this man and an animal, Guan Qianjian wanted to continue to move forward, unless he used the horse as a bridge and stepped on its back, but with the horse's divine horse, he must be arrogant, how could he allow a stranger to approach casually? There is also a choice, that is, to step over the head of the Taoist priest. But the arrogance of this Taoist priest is far greater than that of a horse, and even if he crosses it, his legs are not his own.
"It turns out that the chief of the Yuan Governor is not in a hurry, can you get out of the way, I am in a hurry. β
"If you want to live, I advise you to walk a few more steps, go back and take a detour. β
Guan Qianjian hated it so much, but his skills were not as good as others, and he didn't want to kill himself, but he didn't want to return the same way with his tail between his legs. Besides, if you encounter a rabbit spirit, there is still death and no life. He was hesitating, and the sound of horses' hooves behind him sounded again.
This time he had experience, and guessed that it would take only a few tens of breaths to make the passenger appear. If it's a rabbit spirit, you can't avoid it if you move forward or backward, and if it's someone else, just see if Yuandu really doesn't give way to anyone.
His mind was decided, and he stood still, half waiting for death, half resigned to fate. After a while, a person turned out from behind the cliff, and when he saw Guan Qianjian, he saw his biological parents, his eyes were like torches, he sighed, sat on the horse and laughed: "Finally caught, finally caught! This time look at how you run, oops, oops...... laughing continued, his body was crooked, he couldn't sit in the saddle steadily, and fell off the horse.
Yuan Du turned around, saw this person, and frowned secretly.
