The Lion Bridge has bridges, but it doesn't just represent bridges, it also represents a town – the closest town to Lion Camel Ridge. The fact is that as long as you cross the Lion Bridge in Lion Bridge Town, you will also arrive at Lion Camel Ridge, which is just like China in those years, not only representing the Chinese nation, but also representing the whole world.

The sun is setting again, and there are still withered vines, old trees, and faint crows, but if there is no small bridge, how can there be flowing water! Some are just low walls, fences, people's houses, and the "last stack" of the Lion Bridge Town.

The architecture here is very different from that of Kannai, the houses here are fully excavated from the earth, the courtyard walls are muddy, and the walls of the houses are made of mud and small stones. Some of them are completely in the mud, and the locals simply call it: drilling caves. Such a house had only doors, only windows, only the tables, stools, and beds in the room, and the cutting boards on which they cut vegetables were made of wood, and the rest were made of earth and stones.

There are hardly any trees in the villages and towns, and the houses here have almost no attics......

The terrain here is undulating like a dry seabed, and the mountains are full of rocks dripping from the sun and rain, and there is no unexpectedly dense mountain forest. As far as the eye can see, it is difficult to find a penumbra of a tree as verdant as Kannai, or only one or two intertwined willows and poplars. On the deserted wilderness, there are also spots of bald grass stacks that are stepped on one by one, as if they are a handful of cow hair on the cowhide of scabies. Occasionally, under the lifeless vault, one or two swooping and soaring goshawks would appear, and they would sometimes let out a terrible chirp, as if to warn the people walking on this lifeless land!

Wu Shuang was already very tired when he came to Lion Bridge Town, in order to better deal with all the unpredictable dangers on the top of the Excalibur tomorrow, it was necessary for him to rest for the night in this desolate town tonight.

So, he came to the only inn in the town. The name of the inn is exactly the same as the environment in which it is located: the last stack. In this way, it vividly makes people feel that they have come to the end of the day.

Around the end of the day, people saw a young man wearing a white robe, carrying a black sword, and leading a tall black horse into the "Last Inn" inn.

At that time, there were a few customers eating in this inn, but it did not have the busy and lively atmosphere of a normal inn. The people here, both the visitors and the shopkeepers, have a nonchalant look on their faces—even when they drink and eat.

Seeing Wu Shuang walking into the courtyard of the inn, the shopkeeper hurriedly rushed out, he enthusiastically took the reins in Wu's hands, and said to him: "Please inside the guest officer, I will greet your horse!"

When Wu Shuang walked into the inn, he saw that the people inside looked at him with strange eyes, as if he was stunned by seeing something strange in ancient times, and it was like seeing a certain patient who had been diagnosed by the doctor as hopeless, and before he was about to die, people would cast their sympathy and pity when they saw him.

Seeing Wu Shuang walk to sit down at a guest table against the wall on the right, the shopkeeper ran over enthusiastically and asked, "Guest officer, what do you need?"

"Is there any fresh beef?"

"Yes, a big yak slaughtered when the sun goes down has delicious meat!"

"Okay, then two catties of yak meat and three catties of Lao Baigan," Wu Shuang said, "and bring two of your famous big pancakes here." ”

"Okay! Come soon, sit down, guest officer. ”

"The sky is vast and wild, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep low; Suddenly, someone outside the door composed a song, its words are detached and expansive, its environment is beautiful and natural, its momentum is heroic and passionate, and its feelings are fascinating.

At this time, I saw the innkeeper lift his head from the counter, and he smiled, and while looking towards the door, he pushed open the cabinet door, and greeted him with a beat and the rhythm of the singer outside the door.

Outside the door, Wu Shuang heard the innkeeper say happily when he followed the arrival: "Hao Shenxian, how can you have time to come to the cold house today?"

"In search of a bottle of wine, visit the shopkeeper in the middle of the night, life should be like this, and you will find a soulmate in your dreams!" said the singer laughing.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Then, I saw an old man in white clothes, white robes, white hair and white beard walking into the inn proudly. He is in good spirits, with a childlike beard, and his demeanor is elegant, and his abundance is very different.

Without any orders, the innkeeper personally filled the big gourd in the old man's hand with a gourd of good wine, and quickly put on the dishes of various dishes. The old man, holding a gourd full of wine, raised his head and drank for a rest, then said with a bearded hand: "Year after year, there is no centenarian at the age of 100; ”

The innkeeper and all the guys also heard the song and high-fived, and they matched accordingly, and the atmosphere on the field was very cheerful for a while.

At this time, the shopkeeper came to Wu Shuangduan for wine and meat.

"Delicious food is what people want, and the heroes of the elixir and jade liquid are drunk; don't complain about the lack of spring in front of the flowers, and the wealth and fame teach people to urge!" The old man with kind eyebrows and kind eyes looked at Wu Shuang, smiled and composed a song.

So, Wu Shuang picked up the wine bowl and walked towards the old man's seat. He said: "The old immortals, the abundance of gods are very different, and the talents are brilliant, which really makes the younger generations admire. This bowl of wine shows the respect of the younger generation. Talking and drinking with the old man's wine gourd.

"The young man is very vulgar," the old man said with a smile, "Looking at your outfit, do you have to go to the top of the Divine Sword?"

"Exactly. Wu Shuang said.

The old man sighed and said, "Who stops at the fame and fortune in front of his feet, and it is difficult to turn back with the sword in his hand!"

Wu Shuang smiled indifferently and said, "What the old immortal taught is that Xiao Ke is not here to chase fame and fortune!"

"Oh, then why are you here?" asked the old man in surprise.

"Come for justice!" Mr. Wu said.

"Justice?" asked the old man, "what is justice?"

"Those who follow the path are naturally righteous, and those who are not righteous are naturally evil. Wu Shuang said.

The old man nodded, and suddenly asked: "Then according to what Shaoxia said, what about the way of the top of the divine sword?"

"The evil are muddy, and the righteous are pure. Wu Shuang said.

"Good!" the old man clapped his hands and praised, "the young man is insightful. ”

"That's just one of them. Wu Shuang suddenly said again.

"Oh, so it seems that Shaoxia has more insight?"

"Secondly, it is also for the purpose of destroying one's own cowardice. Wu Shuang said.

"But, in the opinion of the old man, the young man does not look like a cowardly man!" said the old man.

That's because I have faith in victory. Wu Shuangxinran said.

He went on to say, "The most terrible thing in the world is the fear of the unseen, but often the bravest thing in the world is the visible faith." ”

"Whoever has this faith can overcome all fears!" said the old man.

"That's right. ”

"Therefore, a person who fights the sword rivers and lakes, the top of the sword is the fear in his heart. The old man said, "And you are a very confident brave man, and in order to defeat the fear in your heart, you must challenge the top of the Excalibur." ”

"That's right. ”

"I believe that self-confidence can conquer everything. The old man said, "Young man, I wish you success." The old man got up and walked out of the inn.

However, Wu Shuang still heard his singing on the road: "Everything has a law, everything has a way, people have the law of the earth, and the earth is the law of the sky." Heavenly law is the way, and the way is natural. Nature is the way of the world. ”
