The straight-line distance from Luzhou to Yingzhou is actually about the same as the distance from Xuancheng to Luzhou, but in actual walking, it is far different.
Between these two states, there are many prefectures, counties, villages, mountains, rivers and lakes, so the roads are also very winding.
If you choose to take the official road, it will be safe and stable, but it will take a lot of detours and take a lot of time.
Although Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai still have plenty of time to arrive in Luoyang before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Sun Yixie is a person who particularly likes to take tricks.
So... after they walked for a few days and came to the foot of "Qingfengding", Sun Yixie came up with an idea: "Let's go over the mountain. We can save at least two days." Half the journey."
Huang Donglai muttered a few words, but did not object strongly.
This is also a weakness of his character: Huang Donglai can often make the right choices when encountering important life events, but he often worries about gains and losses and has difficulty making judgments on many "little things"; at this time, if With someone like Sun Yixie beside him who likes to give advice, he will be easily persuaded and then be tricked along with his brothers.
So, the two of them entered the mountain.
The mountain road was very gentle at first, otherwise Sun Yixie would not think it was a good idea to climb over the mountain. But after walking for about half a day, the gentle slope in front of them began to become steeper, and people on horseback... It has also become a person pulling the horse. Looking at this trend, if the slope is steeper, it will have to be changed to a person carrying the horse.
At this time, Huang Donglai’s afterthought complaints naturally began.
Of course, Sun Yixie has long been accustomed to this. With his own shamelessness and saying: "Isn't it because you didn't stop me resolutely at that time?" he was able to blame Sancheng on his brother. .
If another sentence is asked: "Are you and I, brothers, of the same mind?" This kind of moral torture, then the responsibility for this matter is basically divided 50-50.
In this way, the two of them relieved their fatigue and negative emotions while scolding each other, and persisted in moving forward.
Unconsciously, it was dark.
Desolate mountains and ridges, people are trapped and horses are exhausted...not to mention this.
For Sun and Huang, who are about to sleep in the mountains, the real trouble is that there are probably wild animals on this mountain.
Not to mention tigers and bears, even a wild boar is enough for them to drink a pot at the moment.
Although Huang Donglai's martial arts skills are not bad, in the final analysis, those martial arts moves are fighting skills between humans and are not used to deal with animals. Unless he has more than twenty years of internal strength, A punch can break the rock, otherwise... with just his fists and feet, he might not be able to defeat a beast that is bigger than himself.
Take Wu Erlang as an example. Is Wu Song able to kill a tiger because of how exquisite his martial arts moves are? Obviously not... He can win because his strength, speed and reflexes are enough to deal with a feline that is bigger than himself... In other words, based on the book data aloneLook, Wu Song is only stronger than Captain America. Of course, that's beside the point...
If Huang Donglai had practiced a longer or bladed weapon, then he would have faced a jackal and a tiger. Leopard Shi may still have a chance of winning. After all, tools are the biggest physical advantage of human beings against animals; unfortunately, he uses a hidden weapon... If this thing is not handled well, it will not only fail to kill the beast, but also anger the opponent; even if he can use the hidden weapon To quench the poison, the poison is also prepared for humans. It is hard to say whether it will be effective on animals and how long it will take for it to take effect...
As for Sun Yixie...he does have a handy weapon, but his physical fitness and martial arts are still a bit behind.
In short, the night in the mountains is very dangerous for the two of them.
They had even discussed it in advance: if they were attacked by a large carnivore, they would give up their horses at the critical moment and run away on their own.
Of course, their horses also thought the same way: If they were really attacked by a large carnivore, we would leave these two losers and run away.
Rumble——
You know it’s because the house is leaking and it rains all night.
Just when they were about to find a tree to lean against and spend the night, there was a heavy thunder in the sky covered by black clouds.
This is great. In addition to being eaten by wild beasts, they also have the added risk of being struck to death by lightning and getting sick from being exposed to the rain.
There was no other way, so the two of them could only cheer up, hold the horses, and continue walking forward, hoping to find a cave or a mountain col where they could take shelter from the rain.
Just when the rain was about to fall, and the physical and mental exhaustion of the two of them was approaching the limit, suddenly...
A bolt of lightning pierced the dark night sky, and there was also a flash of lightning. The earth was instantly illuminated.
In the fleeting light, Sun Yixie squinted his eyes and happened to see the outline of a hook behind the forest dozens of meters away.
Click——
A few seconds later, when thunder sounded, Sun Yixie had confirmed that what he saw should be the corner of a certain roof.
"Brother Huang, there seems to be a room over there!" The next second, Sun Yixie quickly called Huang Donglai.
When Huang Donglai heard this, he immediately turned his head and looked in the direction Sun Yixie was pointing, muttering: "Is it true? Brother Sun, are you hallucinating?"
Sun Yixie did not have any hallucinations. After they walked in that direction for a while, they found a ruined temple located in the forest.
The temple door is missing a door panel, but the old plaque on the door is still there, with three big characters written on it - Mountain Temple.
In Dashu, I can probably count the number of small temples called "Mountain Temple" on eight hands. They can be found on mountains all over the place, so they will not go into details about what the mountain god of Qingfeng Peak has to do with it. Different.
Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai only knew that the rain was pouring down like a waterfall. If they didn't go in to take shelter from the rain, they would be drowned.
Finally found a filmWhere the tiles covered their bodies, the two men suddenly regained their strength, dragged their horses, and trotted all the way into the temple.
The temple gate and the courtyard wall outside are connected together, which is equivalent to a fence. After entering, there is a very narrow courtyard, and then inside is a Buddhist hall; despite the small size of the temple, The roof of the Buddhist hall is quite elegantly repaired. It can be said that the eaves are curved and the four ridges are far away. There is also a ridged animal carved on each corner of the main ridge at the top, like a pair of fishes facing each other, which is very beautiful.
Of course, Sun and Huang were not in the mood to care about that. They tied the two horses to the pillars outside the Buddhist hall, and after ensuring that the horses were also covered by the eaves, they quickly walked into the Buddhist hall. Hall.
Then they patted their clothes and shook their heads like two dogs that had just had a good time in the rain, brushing off the floating water on their bodies.
At this time, because the Buddhist hall was also dark, with only a little light at the door, and the thunder and rain were loud, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai both took it for granted... Before entering, there was no one in the temple.
Unexpectedly, just when they took out the fire folder, they were about to find a candle to get some light.
Suddenly, a voice came from the depths of the dark Buddhist hall: "Who let you in?"
