Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 19 Mountain Temple

The straight-line distance from Luzhou to Yingzhou is actually about the same as that from Xuancheng to Luzhou, but it is far behind in actual walking.

Between these two prefectures, there are many counties and villages with mountains, rivers and lakes, so the roads are also very tortuous.

If you choose to take the official route, then there is no problem with safety and stability, but it will take a lot of detours and delay a lot of time.

Although Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai still have more time to arrive in Luoyang before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Sun Yixie is a person who likes to play tricks in character.

So... After they walked for a few days and came to the foot of the "Qingfengding", Sun Yixie proposed an idea: "Let's go over the mountain, at least two and a half days' journey can be saved."

As for Huang Donglai, although he muttered a few words, he didn't strongly object.

This is also his weakness in character: Huang Donglai can often make the right choice when encountering important life events, but he often worries about gains and losses and is difficult to make judgments on many "little things"; at this time, if he has Sun Yixie by his side If there is someone who likes to give ideas, he will be easily persuaded, and then he will be cheated along with his brother.

So, they just entered the mountain like this.

The mountain road was very gentle at the beginning, otherwise Sun Yixie would not have thought that climbing the mountain was a good idea, but after walking for about half a day, the gentle slope in front of them began to become steeper, and people riding horses... also turned into people pulling horses , looking at this trend, if the slope is steeper, you have to change your back.

At this time, Huang Donglai's afterthought complaints naturally began.

Of course, Sun Yixie has long been used to this, and with his thick skin, he can say, "Isn't it because you didn't resolutely stop me at that time?"

If there is another question: "Are you and my brother the same mind?" This kind of moral torture, then the responsibility for this matter is basically [-]-[-].

In this way, the two relieved their fatigue and negative emotions while swearing at each other, and insisted on moving on.

Before I knew it, it was getting dark.

Barren mountains and wild mountains, people are tired 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 now.

Although Huang Donglai's martial arts are not bad, those martial arts moves are in the final analysis human-to-human fighting skills and are not used to deal with animals, unless he has more than 20 years of internal strength and can break rocks with one punch , otherwise... With just fists and kicks, he might not be able to defeat a beast that is bigger than himself.

Take Wu Erlang as an example. Was Wu Song able to kill a tiger because of how exquisite his martial arts moves were?Obviously not... He can win because his strength, speed and reaction are enough to deal with a cat that is bigger than himself... That is to say, from the book data alone, Wu Song is only as good as Captain America Weak, of course that's off topic...

If Huang Donglai has practiced that kind of longer or bladed weapon, then he may have a little chance of winning when facing jackals, tigers and leopards. After all, tools are the greatest advantage of human beings against animals physically; unfortunately, he uses hidden weapons ... If this thing is not done well, it will not only kill the beast, but also irritate the opponent; even if he can quench the poison on the hidden weapon, the poison is prepared for people, whether it will be effective when used on animals, and how long it will take to work... It all depends Hard to say.

As for Sun Yixie...he does have a weapon at hand, but his physical fitness and martial arts are still a bit short.

In short, the night in the mountains was very dangerous for the two of them.

They had even discussed in advance: in case they were attacked by a large carnivore, they would send the horse away at the critical moment and run away by themselves.

Of course, their horses also thought the same way: In case of an attack by a large carnivore, let's leave these two wastes and run away.

Rumbling--

There is a saying that the house leaks happen to rain all night.

Just when they were about to find a tree to lean against and spend the night, there was a muffled thunder in the dark cloud-covered sky.

This is good, in addition to being eaten by wild animals, they have increased the risk of being struck to death by lightning and getting sick from being drenched in the rain.

There was no way, the two of them could only cheer up, lead the horse, and continue walking, hoping to find a cave or a col or other shelter from the rain.

Just when the rain was about to fall, and the two of them were almost exhausted physically and mentally, suddenly...

A flash of lightning pierced the dark night sky and illuminated the earth in an instant.

In the fleeting light, Sun Yixie narrowed his eyes, and just saw the outline of a lantern with a hook behind the forest tens of meters away.

A few seconds later, when the thunder sounded, Sun Yixie had confirmed that what he saw should be the corner of a certain eaves.

"Brother Huang, there seems to be a room over there!" The next second, Sun Yixie hurriedly called Huang Donglai.

Huang Donglai heard the words, and immediately turned his head to look in the direction Sun Yixie pointed, muttering: "Is it true? Brother Sun, are you hallucinating?"

Sun Yixie did not have hallucinations. After they walked in that direction for a while, there was indeed a ruined temple located in the forest.

The temple door was missing a door panel, but the old plaque on the door was still there, and there were three large characters written on the plaque——Mountain God Temple.

In Dazhu, the small temple called "Mountain God Temple" is probably too small to count with eight hands, and there are mountains all over the place, so the two of them will not delve into what is different about the mountain god on the top of Qingfeng.

Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai only knew that the rain was pouring down like a waterfall, and they would be drowned if they didn't go in to shelter from the rain.

After finally finding a place with tiles to cover them, the two of them 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 wall. After entering, there is a very narrow small courtyard, and further inside is a Buddhist hall. Although the temple is small, the roof of the Buddhist hall is well repaired It is very elegant, it can be said that the eaves are curved, and the four ridges are far away. On the two corners of the top main ridge, there is a ridge beast carved on each side, which looks like Pisces 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 under the cover of the eaves, they walked quickly into the Buddhist hall.

Then, like two dogs that have just had a good time in the rain, they patted their clothes and shook their heads to shake off the floating water from their bodies.

At this time, because the Buddhist hall was also pitch black, only the door was slightly bright, and the sound of thunder and rain was loud, so Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai took it for granted that... before they came in, the Buddhist hall And no one.

Unexpectedly, just when the two of them took out the torch and were about to find some candles to light up.

Suddenly, a voice came from the depths of the dark Buddhist hall: "Who let you in?"
