The ancient poem said: The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River is long, and the ape screams three times with tears.

He also said: Between the white emperor and the clouds, thousands of miles of Jiangling will be returned. The apes on both sides of the strait could not stop crying, and the light boat had already crossed the ten thousand mountains.

The Yangtze River is 10,000 miles, only this section of the water area is the most complicated, from Bashu to Xiangxi, the Songshan Mountains on both sides of the river, nine bends and eighteen bends, sometimes open, sometimes turbulent. There are also several dangerous places, and ships sink all year round.

The next morning, after eating the breakfast made by Fang Ling'er, it was convenient to sail away from the small dock. Not long after, the water flow was obviously turbulent, and undulating hills appeared on both sides, and gradually, the hills slowly rose again, forming a majestic and straight mountain range, and the vast water of the Yangtze River was like a giant sword, cutting through the mountain range.

Cliff cliff, ancient pine and cypress, the mountain stone at the bottom of the cliff is washed by the river all the year round, smooth and smooth, and look up, there are many grottoes on the mountain wall, faintly you can also see that there is a coffin placed inside.

Fang Ling'er saw Yuanbao standing on the deck looking at those stone-walled hanging coffins, walking bare-skinned with white feet like warm jade, and said with a smile: "Childe, these hanging coffins are the burial places of the ancestors of Bashu, the earliest in the ancient Yin Shang period, the closest to today, also has a history of thousands of years. ”

Yuan Bao was speechless and said: "These hanging coffins are all placed in the stone caves of hundreds of zhang high cliffs, how did the ancient ancestors transport the heavy coffins up?

Fang Ling'er shook her head and said, "Maybe it's pulled up with a rope." ”

The old man who was holding the boat behind laughed and said, "Silly girl, it's not so troublesome, do you see those small stone holes in the stone wall? ”

Yuan Bao saw that there were indeed many fist-sized stone holes on the stone wall, and they had already developed lichen over the years, and most of them had been covered by vegetation on the stone wall. Hearing what the old man said, he guessed in his heart and said, "Could it be that the ancients built a plank road on the stone wall and carried the coffin up?"

Lao Fang said: "Childe is really smart, that's right, I heard the older generation say that this is the method, but there are not many hanging coffins here, and Wuyi Mountain is also called." ”

Between the two mountains, there is occasionally a long sound of apes and birds chirping, and the voice is mournful, making people feel like a woman who has lost a child, crying in the middle of the night.

The big yellow dog seemed to be dissatisfied with the ape cry that came, and stood on the deck to pull out the stance, barking loudly.

After most of the journey, the ingots calculated the distance, and there were three or four hundred miles away, and the boat rode the wind and waves under the action of the current, like an immortal flying in the sky, faster than a horse.

In the afternoon, the waterway in front of us was narrow, and the water was even more urgent, and there were only more than ten zhang between the two mountains, and some monkeys with long tails could cross the mountain wall from the branches of the south wall to the north wall.

The old man reminded Yuan Bao: "Childe, this section of water is called Ghost Sorrow, the most dangerous, eighty miles long, you better go into the cabin to rest, so as not to be thrown into the river by the bumpy boat." ”

Yuan Bao smiled secretly in his heart, he was a master of cultivation, and he had already reached the realm of Imperial Space, how could he be drowned? ”

When I turned my head and saw Rhubarb running into the cabin, I wanted to despise it, but I didn't expect Rhubarb to drag an erhu out of the cabin.

Yuan Bao knows that this Fang Linger is both talented and beautiful, and often presents talents for the guests who rent the boat, and there are many musical instruments on the ship.

Yuan Bao looked at the erhu, and suddenly thought of the old man of Tianchi whose whereabouts were unknown, and he didn't know his life and death, it was for himself to fight against the mysterious woman, and his heart was slightly sour.

He sat on the bow of the boat, took the erhu, and said to Da Huang: "Do you miss the predecessors of Tianchi? Hey, it's a pity that I can't play the erhu." ”

In fact, let alone the erhu, he doesn't know any other musical instruments.

Fang Ling'er walked over and sat beside him, her slender feet stretched out along the deck into the cold river water, the water rippled, echoing her warm and fair skin, she was very moving, she said softly: "Childe, the little girl of erhu strings knows a little bit about it, if you don't dislike it, I can teach you." ”

"Really?!" Yuan Bao was overjoyed and said, "I'm not good at singing, maybe I can develop in musical instruments, Miss Ling'er, teach me quickly." ”

Yuan Bao is extremely smart, as he said, he is not full of five notes, but he is quite quick to learn the instrument, and at night he can already pull out some simple tunes under Fang Ling'er's guidance.

This coke broke him, and he sat on the bow of the boat with the erhu in his arms and pulled. Rhubarb probably didn't expect this guy to progress so quickly, lying in front of him, showing an approving look for the first time.

Late at night, the sky is full of stars, and the sky is ethereal. Yuan Bao has been playing erhu after dinner, from the initial unpleasant, gradually mastered some tune tricks, practiced for a few hours, there is a feeling of seeing each other late.

The boat is parked under a cliff in the Wuxia Gorge, and there are many small boats with lights hanging around to moor here, and the ingots sit on the bow of the boat and pull the erhu, with the desolate ape roar at night, it really has a bit of artistic conception.

Especially the song "Haoran Righteousness" taught by Fang Linger in the afternoon, which was played hundreds of times, and he was no longer unfamiliar, and he really had a bit of artistic conception.

"I'm really a genius, hahaha, I can finally raise my head and say in the future, I'm also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, right...... The erhu is not a piano, it should be played and sung!"

Fang Ling'er and her grandfather couldn't cry or laugh in the cabin, it was almost time, Yuan Bao was still holding the erhu and pulling, and the two couldn't sleep peacefully at all. It's just that when Yuanbao rescued them at the dock, along the way, he felt that Yuanbao was approachable, not a bad person, and it was not easy to sweep his Yaxing.

A keel ship slowly came, it was a warship of the imperial court, which could accommodate hundreds of people, not the largest, and there was a keel three-sail ship in the Ming Dynasty today, which could accommodate thousands of people and sail thousands of miles in the deep sea.

On the front deck of the battleship, a young man in purple, wearing a black cloak and a long sword at his waist, was quite mighty. And this person is Zhao Chengwen, the son of the general soldier of Qinchuan who was kicked into the water by ingots.

When he and the two playboys saw the Fang family's boat anchored at the dock, they knew that Fang Laohan's granddaughter Fang Ling'er was actually a beauty who had captivated the country and the city, so he wanted to rent a boat to find Fang, but Fang Laohan refused, and he was kicked into the water by a guy named Yuanbao who suddenly killed him.

His father was the chief soldier of Qinchuan, supervising the Qinchuan sailors, and went back to cry to his father, and Zhao Zongbing felt sorry for his son, so he immediately assigned him a warship to teach him a lesson called Yuanbao.

This time, Zhao Chengwen was majestic, and took more than a dozen fox friends who usually spend time drinking and getting on the boat together. After chasing for two days, he didn't see the Fang family's boat, thinking that he couldn't catch up, so he drove the imperial court's warship and swam up the Yangtze River.

It was late at night, and this was the most suitable place to moor in the eighty-mile ghost valley, so Zhao Chengwen let the Feng pipe belt on the ship moor.

Yuanbao, who was pulling erhu, saw a large warship suddenly approaching, squeezing the small boats around him aside, and suddenly felt angry in his heart, but considering that the other party was from the imperial court, and this place was the only docking point, he didn't go up to teach those sailors a lesson.

Zhao Chengwen heard the sound of erhu coming from the boat below, and immediately scolded, shouting: "Do you have a sense of public morality, what kind of erhu is played at night!"

Yuan Bao finally couldn't help it and stood up, and then he saw Zhao Chengwen standing on the deck of the warship. Haha laughed and said: "It's really a place where you don't meet in life, Zhao Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a few days, you are good." ”

Zhao Chengwen squinted his eyes and looked down, because it was too dark, he didn't see Yuanbao's appearance clearly, but he saw the big yellow dog standing next to Yuanbao, and immediately showed joy, and shouted: "Yuanbao, I didn't expect you to hide here, see where you fled this time." ”

It was really nowhere to find the iron shoes, but he didn't expect to meet the ingots here, and the excited Zhao Chengwen immediately commanded the sailors to capture the ingots and vent his anger.

Yuan Bao was stunned, looked at Zhao Chengwen's extremely proud face, and couldn't help but say, "Zhao Gongzi, you won't just come to arrest me with a warship, right?"

"What do you say?"

At this time, Fang Ling'er and grandfather Lao Fang, who heard the movement, also got out of the cabin, and when they saw Zhao Chengwen on the huge warship, their faces changed.

Zhao Chengwen suddenly showed a lewd smile when he saw Fang Ling'er, and said: "Ling'er, I haven't seen you beautiful again, come back with me, be my concubine, and keep you fragrant and spicy." ”

"Zhao Chengwen, you Sven scum, you have read the book of sages in vain, even if I die, I will not marry you, you die of this heart. Fang Ling'er looked anxious, turned her head and said, "Grandpa, what should I do, Zhao Gongzi is chasing after me." ”

Seeing that the other party was overwhelmed and difficult to deal with, the old party wanted to pull out the anchor and set sail, and get rid of the big war ship that Zhao Chengwen was riding with the advantage of a small boat and fast sailing. Now I have a hundred taels of money paid by Yuanbao, plus a few dozen taels saved in recent years, which is enough for me and my granddaughter to go away and find a good in-law for her.

Rhubarb seemed to like Fang Ling'er very much, and seeing her anxious face, she immediately raised her head and barked at Zhao Chengwen on the warship.

Yuan Bao smiled bitterly and shouted: "Zhao Gongzi, I have seen a lot of wicked people, it is the first time I have seen such a shameless person as you, you should go quickly, otherwise I will be angry." ”

"Hahaha......" Zhao Chengwen and more than a dozen of his fox friends laughed, and many people threw a few torches down, almost burning rhubarb, and rhubarb was even more furious.

Cheng Guan looked at Zhao Gongzi with a frown, his face was unhappy, and said: "Gongzi, these three people are ordinary people, don't make a big deal about it, if it is known by the imperial court......"

"What are you afraid of? My father is the chief soldier of Qinchuan, who dares to make a time, become a pipe belt, you just do what I say, go down and catch that little lady, as for that kid and that hateful big yellow dog, they will be thrown into the river for me. ”

Chengguan frowned again, sighed, and ordered his soldiers to lower the soft rope hanging ladder.

Yuan Bao saw that this guy was blatantly robbing the people's daughter, Fang Ling'er's tears came out quickly, and he was immediately furious, he walked the world to support justice, if this matter is not cared for, is there any heavenly reason?

He sneered, "I'll give you one last chance, go quickly." ”

"Hahaha......" replied to him with a few torches.

Yuan Bao turned his head to Lao Fang and said, "Uncle Fang, you hold the boat and go first, and I'll come when I go." ”

"Childe, what are you going to do? Zhao Gongzi is a member of the imperial court, we can't fight!" The old man's face changed slightly, and he said: "That big ship can't catch up with our small boat, Childe must not be rash." ”

Ling'er had untied the cable, and the boat's banner was raised and went down the river.

Zhao Chengwen saw Yuan Bao and the others fleeing, so he hurriedly ordered the big boat to chase after him, and asked Cheng Guan to put down a few clippers.

Yuan Bao saw seven or eight clippers chasing after him, and knew that this old party's boat would definitely not be able to outrun those assault boats dedicated to the imperial court, so he rose up in the air and shouted, "Miss Ling'er, you go first." ”

He stepped on the clear water, and at once swept to the fast boat that rushed to the front, and with a shake of his legs, the whole fast boat was suddenly torn apart, and seven or eight soldiers on the boat fell into the water.

In the dark, the ingots were like a huge owl, flying silently across the night sky, and with more than a dozen breaths, all the clippers were destroyed. Fortunately, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty Navy Division are familiar with the surname Shui, otherwise they would have drowned a few.

Zhao Chengwen turned pale with fright when he saw that the ingots were so powerful, and at this moment, the chengguan belt around him was worthy of being a battle-hardened veteran, and he was busy organizing the soldiers to bend bows and arrows and shoot at the ingots.

These mortal arrows and feathers couldn't hurt the ingots at all, and with a little tiptoe, the whole person rose into the sky and landed on the deck of the warship.

Dozens of sailors drew their swords and slashed, and the sword in his hand flashed, and the swords in everyone's hands were broken, and they all retreated.

Yuan Bao looked at Zhao Chengwen and said with a smile: "Zhao Gongzi, you have angered me, I am very angry." ”

Zhao Chengwen's legs were weak, and when he saw the ingots walking in the air, like an immortal, he lost his voice and said: "You, you are a true immortal?"

"Yes, you're not too stupid, but you're a little late. ”

"Immortals spare their lives, immortals spare their lives......" Of course, Zhao Chengwen knows that there is a kind of cultivator in the world who is known as an immortal strange person, who lives in the early famous mountains and rivers, eats and drinks dew, cultivates the truth, and practices the Tao.

Yuan Bao sighed and said, "You scoundrel, why don't you know what to do, do I kick you or do you jump off yourself?"

"Myself, I jumped on my own, and I didn't work for the immortals. Zhao Chengwen got up in a panic and jumped from the deck to the river with his nose pinched.

Yuan Bao nodded with satisfaction, turned his head and glanced at the dozen or so sons, and the faces of the dozen or so people suddenly changed greatly, and without saying a word, they all followed in the footsteps of Zhao Chengwen.

Cheng Guandai's face was pale, he looked at Yuanbao, and said: "Childe, even if you are a person who cultivates the truth, I am a great Ming water master, and insulting my water master is insulting my court!"

Yuan Bao said: "This general, since you know that you are a sailor of the imperial court, why do you want to do evil for Zhao Gongzi?"

Cheng Guan's face was ashamed, and he said after a while: "He is the son of the chief soldier, and the chief soldier has an order, I am just a small sailor pipe band, how can I disobey the order?"
