All your life is gentle

After everyone was seated, Luo Miao loosened the cable, and the bamboo raft, like an arrow from the string, slanted across the river along the current of the river.

Wu Sanye stood on the handle, holding a long pole in his hand, and moved it left and right, as if a dragonfly touched the water, without any effort.This underwater reef is as familiar to him as the palm prints on his hand.It is clear where to touch, where to hold, and how much strength to use.Occasionally, he shouted: "Three points from the left!"

The four of Zi Shi sat on both sides of the bamboo raft, holding tightly to the big iron hooks on the raft with both hands, thinking of Sanye Wu's instruction: "Hold your hands firmly, but relax your body, otherwise you will be weak in the middle of walking. I’m really scared, you might as well close your eyes and think you’re dreaming.” Sure enough, after the body gradually relaxed, it seemed to be integrated with the bamboo raft, flying through the clouds and waves, flying against the wind, as free as fish and birds, carefree , It was indescribably comfortable and happy.

A wave rushed back, and several people were all soaked.

"Ah-haha..." I couldn't help screaming and laughing.

"Children, be careful!" Third Master Wu suddenly shouted.Lifting the penny under the armpit, the feet seem to be nailed to the raft, letting the bamboo raft rush with the water, hitting head-on at the boulder in the middle of the river.

Several people on the raft forgot to breathe.No one was willing to close their eyes, staring at the big rock in front of them with round eyeballs.In an instant, the stone mouth almost touched the tip of the nose, and several hearts were raised in the throat.Suddenly a strong force hit, and everyone was shocked. The bamboo raft flew up obliquely, passed the reef in mid-air, and fell back to the water with a "crash". Come" the big stone left behind.

"Ah-ah--" The four of them were freed to vent at this moment.I couldn't dance and dance, so I had to shout and cheer.The river wind swept by with the waves, and a trace of it hit the face and body, the pain was cool and refreshing.

The rest of the journey will be easier, just put the raft along the water.Luo Miao let go of the rudder, looking at the four presumptuous smiling faces in front of her, she was a little disapproving, but unconsciously she also showed a happy smile.

Mr. Wu raised his pole a little, the bamboo raft swayed lightly, and it landed.While tying the cable, he said: "This is called "Lingguan Port", and above your heads is the Lingguan."

The halfway was too thrilling and exciting, and the four of them felt numb and weak at this moment.After a little movement, Changsheng drew his sword and cut the rope, and the twins landed first.Zi Shi tried, but failed to stand up.Suddenly his body lightened, and he was brought to the shore.My legs were still sore, so I had to hang on Changsheng's shoulders.Luo Miao couldn't help widening her eyes, but found that no one seemed to think there was anything wrong except herself.

"Lingguan Port" sounds like a ferry, but it is actually a huge rock at the south end of Fenglan Mountain facing the north bank of Lianjiang River.This stone is several feet high, red and black in color, slightly resembling a human being.From a distance, it looks like a spirit official wearing armor and holding a whip, shaking demons and subduing demons.For more than ten miles along the entire north shore, there are continuous torrents and cliffs, and only a small semi-circular water area at the foot of this boulder can be moored.Therefore, no one will land here except those who dare to cross Fengci Beach.

There are iron ropes nailed to Lingguan's body, and he climbs up by climbing the iron ropes. It is the narrow path opened by the beach warriors in the past.In the past, there was no card related to Fenglanshan, so you can enter casually.The natives of Huimengjin occasionally cross the river with special products from the mountains on their backs, hoping to sell them at a good price in Shuzhou.There are always some brave young people who have the dream of going to Sichuan to pan for gold and ride on the bamboo raft to rush to the beach.Those who have nowhere to stay in Chuzhou for various reasons will also come here to take risks.

"Feng Lanshan has increased the sentry and set up checkpoints, which is something that has happened in the past few decades." Wu Sanye snorted, "Isn't it just for the convenience of extortion to make more money? Now that the black barbarians have come, it can be considered a legitimate use. When you enter the customs, I'm afraid you will have to take care of it. Pay what you need, pay more, smile more, and say a few soft words. Don't get angry with Mr. Bing."

The old man said good words of gold and jade.Zi Shi dragged the other three people to thank them again and again.

Changsheng raised his head and looked west, and asked, "Can't we just go over the mountain and enter Shu? Do we have to enter through the pass?"

"You can't see it here. To the west of this mountain, "Tianmen Gorge" is next to "Tianmen Gorge", and "Tianmen Gorge" is next to "Bugu Peak"... There are so many mountains and mountains connected. It may not be possible to go out in a year and a half. The cliff facing the official road in the north is like a knife-cut cliff, and even monkeys cannot climb it. There is a plank road up and down until Tianmenxia. I heard that there are now countless troops stationed there, and it has become Fenglan After the pass, it is the second pass to enter Shu."

Changsheng nodded.

Third Master Wu hesitantly said: "Why don't you call it a natural danger? It is this natural danger that allows our emperor to stay in it and sleep peacefully..."

Both sides are neat people, said a few more words, said goodbye and broke up.

Luo Miao sat on the raft and looked back.The four people helped each other, and slowly climbed up the Lingguan Stone, turning into four moving dots.I feel inexplicably melancholy: They... are really strange people... they can't figure it out, and they are unforgettable.

After crossing the mountains behind the Lingguan Stone, we entered the official road to Shu.There happened to be a post pavilion, and the four of them stopped to make some adjustments.The refugees on the road have long since disappeared.Those who could go in had already gone in last autumn at the latest, and those who couldn’t go in probably won’t have the chance to come here again.Watching the red sun set, Zizhou urged: "Brother, hurry up. As soon as the sun goes down, it's time to close the door."

"Feng Languan can't run, so what's the rush?" Zi Shi said, his hands speeding up unconsciously.Shuzhou, which I have been talking about for so long, is right in front of me, how can it not make people excited?

Changsheng thought: Most likely I won’t have time to go in today.Just right.

After turning two corners, it was already dusk.In the setting sun, a three-story archery tower stood in the road, appearing in sight without warning.

——Feng Lan has arrived.

I saw the blue bricks and blue tiles dyed with gold and red, and the red beams and copper pillars glowed with scales, which is magnificent and majestic.The wall is about three feet high, extending from the archery tower to the two wings, and connecting with the side cliffs.The entire checkpoint rises from the mountain, with rocks built on the bottom and crenels built on the top. The barriers are fortified and impregnable.

Such a perfect combination of nature and manpower makes people feel insurmountable.

Zi Shi sighed: "The unparalleled lock and key, the majestic pass of Tianchao. It really lives up to its reputation."

Zigui pointed to the cliff to the north and asked, "Brother, to the south is Fenglan Mountain. What's the name of the one to the north?"

Zi Shi smiled: "Well, I don't know the exact origin. I just remember that it was mentioned in "Biography of the Immortals", that there was a time when Taiyi Tianzun fought with Xuanling Yuanjun, and Taiyi Tianzun "used Xuanyuan sword energy to break off the orchid The end of the mountain is blocked, so this mountain is called "Broken Tail Mountain", haha..."

The two children were attracted by the story of the eldest brother.Changsheng listened absent-mindedly, and began to observe the terrain involuntarily.

The Shu road is narrow, close to the pass, and the two peaks converge. Although it is an official road, it is only more than ten feet wide.On the right side of the road is a long and narrow ditch, which is blocked by a sluice under the wall.Even if there is no sluice gate, the strange rocks at the bottom of the stream are abrupt, and the water color is blue, I don't know how deep it is. I'm afraid no one would dare to dive to steal it.Raising your head, you can see the cliffs and cliffs, straight into the sky, and the peaks are like swords leaning against the sky.In such a dangerous place, if one man guards the gate, no one can open it.

Can't help thinking: "This place is not to be attacked by force, it should be outsmarted..."

Suddenly he said: "It seems that the door is really closed. I'm afraid we will have to sleep in the open downstairs."

Shocked, almost dripping with sweat and tears.

After taking a look, he stopped and said, "The door is indeed closed. Don't go any further, just rest here." On the left side of the cliff, a big tree with a crooked neck lay across the top of the head, which happened to be a natural tent.Further forward, there is only a row of wooden stakes left.I knew that the Xia garrison had cut down all the trees on the side of the road for the convenience of surveillance.

"Why are there no trees in front?" Zigui asked.

Zi Shi said: "Do you still remember the tactic of the soldiers of the West to "pull out the city and clear the country"? It has a meaning." Unpacking the burden, "I can't go forward. The sky is dark, and the guards on the wall will shoot arrows if they don't bother to ask. Let’s talk about it tomorrow.” Shake off the wet clothes that were changed earlier and hang them on the branches to dry.

Over there, Gui has already taken out the oiled paper bag containing dry food.Zizhou took the water bag and climbed to the bottom of the ditch from a gentle slope to fetch water.

Zi Shi yelled, "Be careful!"

The boy responded to his elder brother nonchalantly: "Don't worry—"

Chang Sheng quietly sat aside, watching the three brothers and sisters busy.

"Maybe...without me, they can live well..." He was relieved and sad at the same time.

At night, the mountain waves are blowing and the cool breeze is blowing.The four of them huddled in the lee behind the tree, tearing off their dry clothes and covering them.

After the two children practiced, they pestered the eldest brother to tell a story about the fighting of the gods, and fell asleep contentedly.

Zi Shi lay down next to Chang Sheng: "Since the beginning of summer this year, I have been walking in the mountains almost all the time, and I haven't felt too hot..."

Changsheng took him into his arms.An ordinary sentence evokes endless thoughts.

Traveling west into Shu, traveling thousands of miles, who knows that he has traveled for more than a year.

The dead are like this, how can autumn flow to the end of winter, and spring flow to summer?

The past came up one after another, and everything came to the end, but it was Li Zishi who met Gu Changsheng, and Gu Changsheng met Li Zishi.

At the time, it was only common.

Gently hold his wrist, rubbing his fingertips on the acupuncture points of Shenmen, Neiguan and Hegu.It seems very casual, but there is a rhythm implied, a warm current slowly spreads along the veins to the limbs and bones.

Zi Shi relaxed all over, lying limply on Chang Sheng's chest.His mind also became dull, and a thought came to him after wandering around for a long time: "Just based on the kung fu of identifying acupoints and selecting acupoints, I know that his master must be a master of masters...Speaking of which, this guy is really strong and talented. background……"

"Zi Shi."

"Um……"

"Do you remember the acupuncture points I pressed for you?"

"..." Too comfortable, too lazy to answer.

"You're so smart, you must remember it... When you're free, I often rub it to soothe my nerves and nourish my energy, and strengthen my body."

This one thought: Why should I knead by myself?Can't you rub it for me?I vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he didn't have any strength left after being rubbed by him, I couldn't even open my eyes, and my consciousness sank uncontrollably.

In a daze, I heard him say: "I have something to do. After finishing, I will go to Xijing to find you. You wait for me in Xijing obediently. Don't run around, you know..."

Immediately anxious: What does he mean?Is there anything that cannot be clearly stated?Hello!You tell me the truth...but you are really sleepy, so sleepy that the sky is dark and chaotic, so you say to yourself in your heart: "I'm dreaming...it doesn't matter, it's just a dream..."

morning.

Zi Shi woke up from the dream and sat up suddenly.I got up too quickly, and my eyes were dark.

"Brother, what's the matter?" It was Zigui's concerned voice.

"It's nothing, dizziness. It will be fine in a while."

"Who told you not to slow down." The girl said angrily.Suddenly surprised: "Huh?! Brother, your hair..."

With clear vision, I saw my sister gesticulating at her sideburns.Stretching out his hand to touch it, a strand of hair behind the right ear was cut off shoulder-length, and the tip of the hair more than two feet long was gone.With a jump in his heart, he immediately asked, "Where's Gu Changsheng?"

"We didn't see it when we got up. Probably... went climbing?"

Sit for a while.

It turns out...it's not a dream...

he's gone.He said he had something to do.He told me to wait for him in Xijing.

——What is it that you can't talk about in person, and you have to hide it like this?Don't go here with you after all the hardships and lives, why can't you go in together?

Suddenly he was furious: This guy must have planned it for a long time with such a thought and such a method.Fortunately, he couldn't bear to speak out, kept lying to me for an unknown amount of time, and still had the nerve to tell me to go to Xijing to wait for him!After thinking about it carefully, in fact, the clues have already been revealed.If he was not sure that he would not lie to himself, and was too lazy to pursue it, how could he have let him go so thoroughly...

My heart sank suddenly: I really... am I too lazy to pursue it?Or... afraid of being held accountable?It seems that a long time ago, subconsciously, I felt that there was a problem that had to be faced but was difficult to face, waiting somewhere ahead.Turning a blind eye and procrastinating again and again, I thought I could at least reach Xijing—who knew that it came so quickly and so unexpectedly...

"Brother?" Zigui saw something unusual and tried to intuit the reason, "Brother Changsheng should be back soon."

"he's gone."

"what?!"

"He told me last night. I fell asleep and didn't think about it for a while. He has other things to do, so he won't leave with us." His tone and demeanor became flat.

The girl was shocked.Seeing the face of the eldest brother, he held back.Just an "oh", without further questioning, and handed over the comb.

Zi Shi held the comb and headband in one hand, and grabbed his hair with the other, he was in a daze without being on guard.

This person... became more and more sullen. "Black silk knot hair" - follow me this set...

Not to mention, talented people from the south of the Yangtze River will only eat this set.My heart softened: If he doesn't say anything, there must be some embarrassment that cannot be said.If he wants to leave, there must be a reason why he must leave.Anyway, we have decided to go to Xijing, let’s see if we can run into each other by the way—we, brother and sister, have had a wonderful three days, Cousin Gu, would you like to come or not...

Pulled half of her hair inside, tied it in a bun, and asked her sister, "Can't you see it?"

"I can't tell."

Looking at his younger sister, he suddenly smiled: "Zigui, you already knew, didn't you?"

"Yeah." The girl also smiled, a little embarrassed, and added, "Brother doesn't have to keep it from us."

"I don't know Zi Zhou."

"Him?" He snorted lightly, "He's blind."

"Ha ha……"

Zigui felt that his eldest brother needed comfort.I wanted to ask "Will Brother Changsheng come back", so I changed my words: "When will Brother Changsheng come back?"

"Who knew..." Looking up and seeing the brilliant and beautiful Fenglan Pass in the morning glow, he hated him: Gu Changsheng, you are ruthless.

Look around, there is nothing to vent.Thinking of the stone on his neck, he took it off and held it in his hand, turned around and ran towards the roadside ravine, raising his arms as if to throw it.

"Brother!" Zigui exclaimed.

Before she finished speaking, she saw her eldest brother retract his arm, put the thing in his hand on the ground, and stomp his feet viciously.Pick it up, blow on it, wipe it off with your sleeve, and put it around your neck again.The girl's eyes are straight.

After Zi Shi finished venting, his mood improved: Dare to ask me to wait for you - don't come if you have the guts.If it comes... hum!

Remembering whether he saw his younger brother, just about to ask, the boy over there climbed up from the bottom of the roadside ditch with a water bag.

Explain in a few words.

Brother Changsheng left?This news was too unexpected. Before Zizhou had time to be sad, he heard the eldest brother say: "He will come to Xijing to find us. This guy is very capable, so don't worry." After a little disappointment, the boy began to look forward to Xijing with hope Break into a new life.

After breakfast, Zi Shi said in high spirits, "Pack up your things and prepare to enter the customs!"

"Hey!" The twins were full of energy and agreed in unison.

Changsheng stood on the Duanwei Mountain whose name was ridiculed by Zi Shi, and watched the three figures arrive at the Fenglan Pass.

"I'm leaving just like this... what will he think?" Leaning against the rock, the strand of blue hair stuck to his chest, causing his heart to throb in pain.I had no choice but to look further away, forcing myself to shift my target.

In the middle of the night, he sneaked under the closed wall to take a closer look, and carefully studied the data such as the height and thickness of the wall, the number and location of crenels, the watchtowers and the changing rules of the guards on the wall-maybe he will revisit the old place, how to decide the victory, and now he will be able to win the battle. It's a godsend opportunity for scouting.

Three years ago, when the Jinxia court had just moved into Shuzhou, from top to bottom, there was a lot of noise and panic.In just a few months, 10,000+ civilians were mobilized to expand and strengthen Fenglan Pass and Xiabei Pass on the north side of Tianmenxia, ​​and they were heavily guarded and ready for battle.After that, three passes were successively set up on the road leading to Xijing, and an auxiliary city was built near the pass tower to garrison troops and store food, so as to protect Xijing tightly.

It's just that over time, people's hearts will inevitably slack off.When the refugees flooded in last year, I heard that Xirong was about to take Chuzhou, and the government and the army were nervous for a while.After more than half a year, there was no movement, and I relaxed again.The master of Changsheng Yi was bold, slipped a long circle along the base of the wall, and finally climbed up the Broken-tail Mountain in the north, the other party didn't notice it at all.He felt itchy in his heart, and could hardly bear to find something to climb up the wall to have a look.Of course, in the end, I gave up this crazy idea rationally.

At this moment, he is hidden behind the rocks on the top of the mountain, condescending, and he can have a panoramic view of the situation in the pass.He secretly thought that with his own skills, it might not be impossible to sneak in without disturbing the guards.But this kind of behavior is only limited to masters with martial arts, and it is also limited to pass the level, and cannot be used to rob the level.It may be okay to sneak in to visit your lover occasionally, but it is really meaningless for war.

While watching and contemplating, suddenly the three people who walked outside the gate of the watchtower seemed to be stopped.After a while, another group of soldiers poured out from the door, surrounding them not knowing what to do.Changsheng used his eyesight and stretched his neck, but he could only see a pile of dusty Xia soldiers, and the three of them were completely covered.

My heart tightened: "Although entering the customs at this time is very eye-catching... However, these three are also very pleasing to the eye. Fenglan Pass has a "three prohibitions" rule, like them, just like teenagers, With a skill, he is the most welcome object of the Xijing court, so it should not be..." Panicked, "It won't be too pleasing to the eye..." He raised his breath and wanted to jump down, but saw the soldiers suddenly disperse, a general A person who looked like appeared at the door.The three brothers and sister Zi Shi followed him in and disappeared.

——Watching him disappear just like this, there is no time to prepare mentally.

Changsheng leaned on the stone and slowly bent down, finally sat down on the ground, lying on his back.

The sky is above, and the earth is below.

Relying on the support of the mountain, I am so small and powerless.

"Zi Shi, I actually... have no choice but to do this. I actually... can't do anything..."

The wind blows from the top of the mountain and penetrates the body.It seemed that there was only an empty skeleton left in the whole person, and nothing could remain.Changsheng suddenly understood: this is the taste of loneliness and loneliness.

——It turns out that this is the taste of loneliness and loneliness.

Instant repentance, overwhelming and overwhelming.

What the hell did I do?How could I... put him out of reach?

I should go with him.I should take him away.As long as he is by his side, what kind of conflict between the Rong and Xia Dynasties, the hatred of the country and the family, and the chaos in the world——don’t care about him...

who cares……

— After all, we can’t ignore it.

Clenched your fists and told yourself: You can't ignore it.

If there is no peace and prosperity to belong to me, how can I give him a pure land?

Because, I am not someone else, I am Fu Sheng.

I am Fu Sheng.

Standing up, looking at the Fenglan Pass standing between the strange peaks and valleys, Fu Sheng said: "Zi Shi, wait for me." He jumped to the north without looking back.
