Chapter 6 Hu Seng
During the banquet, Chang Sihao was a little distracted, and Lu Huangqiao said: "What is the difficulty of the alliance leader, although it is said that it is," Chang Sihao said: "I am ashamed to say it, although I am the son-in-law of the Qin family, I have never been to the Tang Gate, I have no evidence to recognize it, and I am not even familiar with the path, if I want to return to Beijing to find the sound, it will inevitably delay time......"
The man on the hill said with a smile: "This matter is easy, wait for the old man to repair a book, explain everything, the Jiuli Feihua Village of the Tang Gate is rooted on the bank of the Wenjiang River, as for the road, Xiaolin Senior Brother often runs in the southern martial arts, the most clear but, Senior Brother, you have nothing to do, then pack up your things, and accompany the Chang Alliance Master later," Xiaolin Zongqing nodded,
After dinner, Chang Sihao put on the letter, and the two heads of the road goodbye, Qi Zhonghua and others changed the direction, and brought a monk, all felt strange, when staying in the hotel at night, Li Shuangji asked this is clear, Qi Zhonghua said: "Hou Ye, detour to Sichuan, this road is not close, should you inform Lord Wu," Chang Sihao's mind was full of Tang Sect matters, and he reminded him that Wu Shilai was behind, thinking:" This dog official was inserted by Lao Xu An, originally to find an opportunity to find fault with me and General Yu, this matter was caught by him, wouldn't it be a big fuss, but if you want to talk to him, how can you make up a reason, "Thinking about it, I didn't have an idea, and finally twisted my heart, and said secretly: "I'm a fast horse, he's a slow car, I will start to speed up tomorrow, and when I return from Tangmen, I may not be able to catch up with him, even if I am a few days behind, saying that I am on the wrong path, what can he do to me," waved his hand at the moment, Qi Zhonghua knew the interest, and he didn't say much,
The next day, everyone is guided by Kobayashi Zongqing, fast horses and whips all the way to the west, a few days later in the south of Hanzhong into Shu, the ancient people called Shu road difficult, in fact, some areas of the road is wide and close to Zhang, it is not difficult to walk, the difficult is Hanzhong to the sword pavilion line of the rock mountain canyon intermittently, steep and cramped plank road, some of these plank roads are in the mountains to burn stone crack road, some are in the cliff to dig holes and insert wood, build a board into a bridge, walk on it, around is the neighing of the sad bird, the foot is the gravel deep gorge, Rushing stream Huang Tao, the mountain wind pulls clothes, more like a ghost sticking to the embrace, Chang Sihao recalled the day in Hengshan holding hands with Ah Yao and Chun Tao, looking at the cloud scene on the plank road of the Hanging Temple is also like this, thinking that now Chun Tao is dead, Ah Yao's sister is nowhere to be found, and she grabs the soft intestines for a while, and she is unspeakably sad,
It was easy to get to the sword gate, the group of people were relieved, looked up, the two mountains in front of the halberd, such as the door to open a gap, a pass in the middle, like an iron sill across the sky, a suspended plank road on the left side is attached to the stone wall straight through the arrow tower, the plank road under the fog, do not know the depth, hold this male pass as if in the clouds, the mountain people who have passed the pass at this moment, Traders of all colors are in order to accept the inspection of the official army, the queue is long and open, the tail is straight to the plank road, the back is tired, on the side of the stone wall or leaning or leaning, or sitting or squatting, holding the basket flat shoulder to rest, Kobayashi Zongqing is reluctant to take advantage of the situation in front of these mountain people, is about to suggest a temporary rest here, suddenly heard a bell behind him, someone said in a slightly stiff Chinese: "Go forward, go forward,"
Chang Sihao and others looked back, only to see a bearded monk squeezed behind the team, with high eyebrows and a straight nose, wearing gold rings in his ears, wearing red felt, very strong, shaking a big wooden fish bell with a golden water scoop in his left hand, holding a big camel with teeth and inverted knees in his right hand, two humps on his back are towering like hills, there is a camel saddle, and he carries leather bags on both sides, and his bags are heavy, and he doesn't know what to pretend.
Wu Zhiming was at the back, annoyed by this bell, and immediately showed impatience and was about to have a seizure, Chang Sihao stopped him, and said to Hu Seng: "This master, you see that our horses are blocked here, and the package on your camel is so wide that it can't be squeezed in, so let's wait in the back,"
Hu Seng looked at each other, seven horses lined up on the plank road, there were still people standing next to the horse's head, although crowded, but there was still a wide gap for one person left, and said: "Can't wait, it's going to rain, can't wait," Chang Sihao looked up at the sky, the spring sun was warm, the peak was white, how could there be any rain, but he saw that this Hu Seng hung the big bell in his hand on the back trouser belt, turned around and squatted down, drilled his head under the camel's belly, stretched out his arms, caught the camel's front and back calves, and his body was pushed up.
As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention that his horse is bigger than an ordinary camel, not only Wu Zhiming and others were surprised, but the people who were resting on the plank road were also stunned, and they stretched their necks one by one to look,
I saw this monk with low eyebrows and drooping eyes, muttering: "Please let go, please let go," turned sideways, stuck to the edge of the plank road, and carefully rubbed the outside of the horses of Wu Zhiming and others, the camel was also quite honest, let him carry it, and did not struggle, for a while the mountains and all the fields were quiet, and only the sound of the bell on his waist could be heard.
Just as he was rubbing his steps past the head of the Sanhe Lihua horse, suddenly the soles of his feet made a "grid" sound, his eyes were round, and his body was stagnant.
Almost at the same time, I heard the crack of the "click", and the support at the bottom of the plank road was rotten and collapsed.
Chang Sihao was next to him, his feet sank and knew that it was not good, he inhaled sharply and did not retreat, his left hand reached out, grabbed the leather saddle belt on the camel's back, and fell rapidly in the right hand, sliding down against the stone wall, and after the broken beam fell, the bowl was left in the bowl-sized stone recess, the monk grabbed the camel's hooves at the bottom and went out and swung back again, the bell on his waist rang loudly, and the pieces of wood slammed down the cliff one after another, fortunately, the plank road design was unique, and there was no collapse in pieces, but there was a gap five feet wide, and the two of them were connected by camels in a string and hung on the cliff.
Sanhe Lihua stepped backwards, almost missing his front hooves, "Master Hou," Li Shuangji poked his head out on the side of the broken plank road and looked down, stretched out his hand to grab it, but couldn't reach it, Qi Zhonghua also stepped forward to check, and saw that the weight of Hu Seng and the camel was all above Chang Sihao's four fingers, and exclaimed: "Let go quickly, otherwise you will also fall,"
Chang Sihao's whole body was more energetic, he didn't dare to answer, he hooked his feet and inserted it into the belt on the edge of the camel saddle, and then said: "Hurry up and get the rope," Li Shuangji hurriedly turned around to find the rope when he heard this, and the mountaineers at the other end of the plank road saw this scene and hurriedly went to untie the trouser belt, ready to tie the rope to save people, and was busy with kung fu, he saw that the camel was hanging in the air and was a little frightened, and his legs couldn't stop shaking.
Some traders exclaimed: "Gold, it's gold," this shouted out, and suddenly there were several times more people coming down, all hulala piled up towards the edge of the broken plank road, watching a large piece of real gold fall off the cliff, one by one distressed, some hawkers shouted while untying their trouser belts: "Monk, you don't want to be vain, we use Soso to pull you up, give a few pieces of gold as a thank you gift," a person next to him untied his trouser belt and said: "Yes, twenty will pull it," another person said: "Twenty, the asking price is too high, he may be able to die, I will pull two pieces," The former said: "You are precious, you don't wait for him to pay back, your own family has dropped first, it's strange that you can't do business,"
At this time, I heard that there was gold to take, more and more people came down, the back squeezed the front, the plank road became more and more overwhelmed, the front two people found that the feet were swaying, the planks creaked, scared, turned around and wanted to push back, but did not shout out, the body was squeezed crookedly, the pants slid down and stumbled, and fell down on the back, the people behind found that the momentum was not good, and hurriedly retreated, and the plank road collapsed again,
Chang Sihao watched the two fall, knowing that he would definitely die, but he couldn't go up and down, and he was even more embarrassed, and he was anxious in his heart, and suddenly felt that the mountain wind around him was strong, and he looked sideways, but he was a person holding a mountain vine and swinging over,
When the man's strength was exhausted, his body turned around, and then he reverted, and the hundred or so pigtails that were tied all over his head spread out in the wind, and each braid was braided with colorful ropes and ribbons, and it was a girl.
The girl was barefoot, her trouser legs were only up to her knees, her skin was as pale as chestnut and her teeth were as white as jade, her eyes were crooked, she smiled and swayed to the vicinity, her feet stretched out against the stone wall, she rubbed and slowed down, she reached out and grabbed the camel's skin, and she stepped on the vine under her feet, and her hands rummaged in the bag.
Chang Sihao's heart was on fire, thinking that this mountain people were too unscrupulous, such a life-and-death juncture, a girl's family only recognized gold and silver, regardless of the lives of the living, but she picked the stone holes, grabbed the saddle below, and almost lost her strength, and there was nothing she could do about it, but she saw that the girl had pulled out all the gold and jewels like a cat scratching a dog, and let them fall in strings, and she didn't look at them, and she still turned over to find them, and couldn't help but feel strange, and thought: "Look at her wearing this look, this is a wild person, looking for something to eat," hurriedly shouted:" Girl, bring the vines closer, and pull us up, and we will give you something to eat," but the girl did not respond, as if she had heard nothing.
Ni Honglei saw that the clothes on this girl's body were complicated, and the layers were full of messy threads, and he also guessed this section, so he hurriedly turned around and found dry food and ham, and shook at the girl.
The girl's nose was upside down, she smelled the smell of meat, raised her pair of black and white eyes, saw the ham, smiled silently, her hand was still rummaging in the skin, suddenly she touched something, and pulled it out, it was a sheepskin handscroll, she smiled happily, rolled her hand into her arms, kicked the stone wall, her body opened to the right, and reached out to copy Ni Honglei's ham in her mouth, and she swung back and stepped on the stone wall and ran a few steps, threw the vine and shook her body, and when she reached the opposite side of the broken stack, she turned her head and smiled, and ran towards the gate with her braids,
Hu Seng grabbed the camel's hooves underneath, and saw everything in his eyes, he was not distressed by the scattering of gold beads, and when he saw that the handscroll was robbed, he became irritable, and shouted in his mouth, and freed up one hand to scoop up the mountain vines that swung back backwards, and followed the posture of the girl to swing around, and increased his speed to pedal and run a few steps on the stone wall, jumped up, and jumped on the opposite side, and hurriedly chased after him.
Chang Sihao was already unable to support it, seeing that Hu Seng was saved, his body strength was also slackened, his hand was loosened, and the camel fell down the valley, but at this time, his fingers were numb, and he was unable to grasp the rope with his hands, and when he stretched out his arms to reach, he couldn't hold it up, and he slipped and slipped, and the whole person went down, at this moment, he was wrapped in the wind from the stone wall and swept a person, and he grabbed his wrist when he reached out, and shook him, throwing him in the air, and he ran along the wall by habit, throwing vines and jumping, catching up with Chang Sihao in the air, and lifting him to the opposite plank road like a bird's nest,
Chang Sihao glanced at the small half of this person's side face in the air, only to see that he had a black face and short beard, a middle-aged appearance, a messy body with a messy body, and a dress similar to the girl before.
