Chapter 32: Nanhua Mountain
I buried Hou Si's body with Hou San, and Mr. Yangshuo was a good person for the first time, he took the initiative to come out and choose a good feng shui place for Hou Si, and worked for most of the day, until the afternoon to pack up everything, back to the inn, Hou San had no intention of taking care of business, directly closed the inn, and packed up, and decided to return to his hometown to report the funeral to his sister and brother-in-law.
It wasn't until everyone had prepared their luggage that Master came out of the room, handed me the baggage, and said, "It's time for us to leave too." ”
When Mr. Yangshuo saw the master come out, he immediately hugged his fists and said: "Yang Daochang's recuperation for a day and a night, it is really back as before, congratulations, by the way, since you are also ready to set off, then we will go together, in short, around dark tonight, we should be able to reach Liantai Town at the foot of Nanhua Mountain, and when we arrive in Liantai Town, we will completely arrive at the place where we stay, hehe!" ”
Master nodded slightly: "It's really my honor to be on the same road with Mr. Yangshuo, so let's go." ”
On the side of the Tuojiang River, Hou San and I had a bear hug, and then said solemnly: "Hou San, you remember, you still have a brother named Li Ergou, no matter how many years have passed, you can't change it, if there is a chance in the future, I will come back here to see you!" ”
Hou Sanzhong nodded: "Then you take care of yourself all the way, Ergou, I hope you can really come to see me in the future, I'm waiting for you!" ”
And Hou San is sorry to say goodbye, now it seems that this guy is not bad, love and righteousness, worthy of making friends, on the edge of the Tuojiang River, we and Hou San left in two directions, until I saw Hou San's back disappear from sight, I turned around and found that the master and Mr. Yangshuo They had gone away, but Hua Xian, standing in place waiting for me, saw walking back, Hua Xian inexplicably showed a smile.
She is a good girl who is understanding, maybe she knows that I need comfort at this time, but she didn't follow her master away, and waited for me here at the risk of disobeying her master, I was grateful, and my mood was much better with Hua Xian's charming smile, I grabbed Hua Xian's hand, it was still so cold, but I just wanted to take her hand and go together. It's just that the flower fairy paused, didn't push my hand away, but lowered her head slightly, and walked with me.
But when I was very close to Master and Mr. Yangshuo, Hua Xian suddenly shook off my hand and followed Mr. Yangshuo respectfully and cautiously again.
I was depressed for a while, this Mr. Yangshuo, there is no good with him.
We walked down the river for about two hours, until the sky was completely dark, and then we saw a brightly lit scene on the other side of the river. Just thought of Liantai Town, I inexplicably raised my head, under the light of the moon, I saw a towering mountain, standing behind Liantai Town, it seems that it is Nanhua Mountain, but from here, it is all a hazy image.
It was also at this moment that Master saw Nanhua Mountain, and pointed to the mountain and said to Mr. Yangshuo, "Does Mr. Yangshuo know the wonders of this Nanhua Mountain?" ”
Mr. Yangshuo suddenly laughed: "Although I have left here since I was a child, I still remember Nanhua Mountain, which is about 1,000 feet high, and has the reputation of nine peaks and seven streams...... Yang Daochang, you see, although the sky is dark now and you can't see clearly, you can still vaguely see the peak crown of the Tiger Tail Peak, the most famous of Nanhua Mountain is the Tiger Tail Peak and Hibiscus Rock, which is a natural barrier in Nanhua Mountain, well, it is called Nanhua Stacked Cui. The grass on the mountain is deep and the forest is luxuriant, the wild flowers are everywhere, and the ancient trees are towering to the sky, the clear spring is cold, the green trees are reckless, and the mountains and rivers are strange, it is simply beautiful. In ancient times, Tian Xingliu once praised Nanhua with seven of them: 'The green mountains are 100,000 green and heavy, and the first Nanhua is the main peak. Sihe pine waves go continuously, when the bell of Timda Temple comes'. ”
When the master heard this, he smiled slightly: "I have heard a legend that it is said that a long time ago, there was an old man with a childish face, riding a crane passing by here, and saw the fishy wind in the valley, the miasma spreading, and the mountains and forests and wild grasses withered. The old man took out the net bottle and sprinkled a few drops of pure water in the valley, and suddenly the clouds and fog dispersed, and the evil qi disappeared. The dead wood on the mountain spits out buds, the residual flowers bloom vigorously, thousands of red and purple, compete for the strange and gorgeous, the whole mountain presents a spring color again, the scenery is charming. In the end, the world discovered that it was a good deed done by the Antarctic immortals. In order to be grateful to the immortals, later generations named this mountain Nanhua Mountain. Although it is a legend, it is enough to see that this Nanhua Mountain is indeed a beautiful place in Zhongtiandi! ”
Mr. Yangshuo also smiled and nodded yes.
As we spoke, we came to a ferry port, which had a road out of the Tuojiang River to the right, and a pier on the left to cross the river to the other side.
There is a light boat docked at this ferry, on the shore, there is an old man wearing a hat, is holding a bowl of rice and eating with relish, it seems that this light boat is his, the master walked to the ferry, I hurriedly ran to the old man's side, and asked politely: "Old man, we are going to cross the river to the other side, are you free now?" ”
The old man looked up at us, immediately knocked his rice bowl with chopsticks, then put it into the bamboo basket with a smile, got up and said with a smile: "Young man, you want to cross the river?" Okay, okay, little old man, I'm free, let's go. ”
"But you haven't finished your meal yet, or let's wait a while, and it's not too late for you to finish your meal before leaving." When I saw that the old man couldn't even eat, I just felt that something was wrong.
"It's fine." The old man waved his hand, and then got on the light boat, and then beckoned us all to go up, and said with a casual smile: "Little Lao'er, I am old, and the amount of food is also small, but my son is filial, and I can't finish the food sent to me every time. ”
Seeing the happy smile on the old man's face, I was also happy, and the master also smiled and said, "The old man is so blessed! ”
"That's that, that's." The old man shook the oars while nodding and smiling: "Children are filial, this heart is happy, maybe they can live for another ten years and eight years, hehe!" ”
And Mr. Yangshuo, who was standing on the side, glanced at the old man, and immediately said: "The old man has three sons and one daughter, the daughter is the largest, among the three sons, two sons have already married a family, and the second son is also a daughter-in-law who just married last year, and the third son is young. ”
As soon as he heard Mr. Yangshuo finish speaking, the old man was stunned, and immediately exclaimed in shock: "What this gentleman said is really accurate, I didn't expect the little old man to open his eyes this time and meet a few big gentlemen who know yin and yang numerology, hehe, what a good luck!" ”
When Mr. Yangshuo heard this, he smiled loudly, but the master laughed and said nothing, until the old man was about to row the boat to the opposite shore, and the master was just about to get off the boat, so he paused again, smiled and said: "Old man, go home quickly, your family is a double happy tonight!" Hehe! ”
After speaking, under the old man's stunned, Master and Mr. Yangshuo got off the boat respectively, and I followed suit, just after walking a few steps, I suddenly saw a person running down from the embankment, and said with a smile as he ran: "Old Yang Tou, are you still rowing?" Don't scratch, your second daughter-in-law has added Ding to your family, she is a big fat boy! Also, Mrs. Wang also came to your house tonight, saying that she was a matchmaker for your third son, you see that this good thing has been rushed together, you should go home quickly! ”
"Oh good! That's great! When the old man who rowed the boat heard this, he was suddenly surprised, but he ran to the master and blocked the way, and said gratefully: "The two big gentlemen are really gods, just glanced at the little old man, and then they knew everything, thank the two big gentlemen for their guidance, by the way, I can't accept the little old man on this boat, take it back quickly, if I accept it, I'm afraid it will be a long life!" ”
The old man forced the money back into the boat, and saw him and the messenger trotting all the way up the embankment and going home far away.
At this moment, Mr. Yangshuo smiled and hugged his fists to the master and said, "Yang Daochang's unpredictable prophet is really admirable." ”
The master hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Yangshuo's physiognomy is also rare in the world, and he admires him very much, hehe!" ”
I was stunned, these two people, as if they had nothing to do, were actually more polite than looking, and so was Master, how could they get so close to this Mr. Yangshuo, but they repeatedly warned me not to let me get close to them, I really don't understand him. We went all the way up the river embankment, and we saw Liantai Town in the distance, there are still many lights that have not been extinguished, although it is late at night, Liantai Town still seems to be very lively.
Sure enough, it was an outstanding person, and I secretly admired it.
It's just that when I came down from the top of the river embankment, I was covered by a wasteland and woods in front of me, and it seemed that there were still several miles to go in Liantai Town, and I didn't see much far on the other side of the river just now, but when I really got closer, I realized that it was my own vision that deceived me. First of all, we crossed a winding dirt road, that is, across the barren meadow, we walked all the way through the barren meadow, and then we were afraid that we would have to pass through a large forest in front of us, so that we could see the town of Liantai without being obscured by any obstacles.
And Nanhua Mountain, a little farther than Liantai Town, but the terrain of Liantai Town and Nanhua Mountain are higher, the more you stand in the distance and look, the closer it seems, but when you really get closer, you know that there is still a long way to go.
But when he walked to the woods, Mr. Yangshuo stopped, and his expression became much more nervous, and the master saw it in his eyes and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with Mr. Yangshuo?" Could it be that after many years of absence, it is a little uncomfortable to come back again? ”
Mr. Yangshuo barely squeezed out a smile and said, "Let Yang Daochang smile, it's true...... Speaking of which, I haven't been back for more than 40 years, and now that I'm nearly 50 years old, I still feel a little emotional when I see this familiar forest again. ”
I opened my eyes slightly, I didn't expect Mr. Yangshuo to be fifty years old, but he looked so young, I really can't figure out how he did it, and Master is in his forties, but he looks like he is in his fifties, the two people are really completely different, think about it, Mr. Yangshuo has nothing to worry about, and travels the beautiful scenery of the world all day long, while Master is different, first looking for the eight treasures of the Maoshan Sect Zhenshan that were lost in the people, and then looking for the secret of the foundation of the Maoshan Township Sect all over the world, Then there is the need to guard against the evil path and Gu Tan, who is against the master everywhere, with these heavy responsibilities and pressures, the master will inevitably grow old quickly.
Seeing it in my eyes, I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Master.
