The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 389 Goddess Mount
Within [-] miles of the Three Gorges, there are mountains on both sides of the river, and there is no shortage of places.Heavy rocks piled on top of each other, hiding the sky and blocking out the sun. Since Feiting is midnight, the sun and the moon are not seen.

Every day when the sun is clear and the first frost comes, the forest is cold and the stream is solemn, and there are often high apes shouting and screaming, which is strange, and the sound is heard in the empty valley, and the sorrow will last for a long time.Therefore, the fisherman's song said: "The Wu Gorge in the Three Gorges of Badong is long, and the apes cry three times and tears stain their clothes."

——"Three Gorges" Li Daoyuan (Northern and Southern Dynasties)
……

After sailing for several days, Bai Fu was also exhausted. One day, he saw a small island in the river with a radius of only a few zhang. But the island was full of strange rocks and moss, and the scenery was quite abrupt.

Bai Fu always likes stones, and it is very rare to see strange stones on the island, just like the top Taihu stones.So he invited the Ruan brothers to visit the island.The island is not big, but there are many strange stones. Bai Fu was constantly surprised, and ordered people to bring his backpack, and when he saw the stones he liked, he put them into the bag.

The Ruan brothers didn't know the way of stacking mountains and rocks, so they stacked stones and built a stove beside them, boiling water and cooking tea.The fire is getting hotter and hotter, the pot of boiling water is boiling, and the fragrance of tea is overflowing.

Bai Fu took the teacup Ruan Zhouxing handed over, took a sip, put it aside, and continued to focus on picking.The teacup suddenly shook, fell to the ground, and shattered.

Everyone was shocked.I saw the whole island shaking violently, disturbing.

"No, it's an earthquake!" Ruan Jiangliu shouted.

The island rises from the ground and slowly rises.

The disciples of the Dajiang Gang who were moored on the opposite side seemed to have seen monsters and ghosts, and shouted in horror.The boss of the boat was quite calm, and hurriedly ordered someone to throw the hook and lock to Bai Fu and others.

Bai Fu picked up the Ruan brothers, stepped on the rope and flew across from the hook rope with both feet a little bit, and jumped onto the boat with one leap.

Bai Fu turned his head and looked back, also startled.

At this time, the island has completely surfaced. There is no small island, but a huge strange fish the size of a hill!

The rugged and strange rocks on the island are formed by the erosion of water for many years, just like Taihu stones.I don't know how long this strange fish has been sleeping, and the reefs and shells attached to its body have all dried up.The wind and rain, weeds everywhere, wild growth.

If the Ruan brothers hadn't boiled the water for tea and scalded the fish's back, the big fish might have slept for many years.

The strange fish woke up, its huge body soared up, and jumped out of the water!
Schools of fish in the river ran away one after another.The dorsal fin of the strange fish streaked across, and the river parted from it, setting off huge waves.Bai Fu's boat swayed with the waves, and it was in danger of capsizing at any time.

The strange fish is not afraid of people, with a flick of its tail fin, its huge body slowly swims towards the boat, with its head facing the bow of the boat, intercepting the boat.

The big fish has copper gills and an iron mouth, with a thorn as hard as a spear on each side of the mouth, a tail like a giant oar, and fins as sharp as a knife.

"Fish monster!"

Everyone shouted and took out their bows, crossbows and swords, trembling with fear.The slightest sign of trouble, ready to attack at any time.

The big fish monster rolled its eyes, like turning a pair of agate stone balls the size of a millstone.The fish eyes reveal a luster like golden nanmu, which seems to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

When Bai Fu saw it, he waved his hand and quickly stopped the crowd, telling them to put down their weapons and stop attacking.The disciples of the Dajiang gang were skeptical, if they didn't know that Bai Fu's martial arts were superb, no one would have dared to follow orders.

Bai Fu walked to the bow, took off the python beads hanging around his neck, held it in his palm, and nodded at the big fish.

The big fish let out an earth-shattering roar, and opened its huge mouth, like a cave full of jagged teeth.The breath spurted out, and the stench was incomparable.

Everyone panicked and looked at Bai Fu together.

Bai Fu took it calmly, and flicked the small fish and shrimp that fell on the lapel with his hand.Bai Fu faced Big Yu, took out the golden mask from his bosom, and said with a faint smile, "Don't worry, I didn't let Ba Wang go, and continued to seal him in the coffin."

The big fish monster's eyes were fixed on Bai Fu, Bai Fu did not back down, his eyes were piercing, and he looked at each other calmly.

After a cup of tea, the big fish's eyes began to soften, he turned around and left, his body slowly dived into the water, and disappeared.

With lingering fears in everyone's hearts, Bai Fu turned his head and said to everyone: "This big fish is the mount of Goddess Yaoji, and it is also a beast that helps Dayu control the water and dredge the river. After the Goddess returned to the fairy garden, she ordered it to guard the Three Gorges and prevent the canyon from being blocked. .At the same time, keep watch over Bawang to prevent him from breaking the seal and getting out of trouble."

As Bai Fu was talking, the big fish surfaced again.On his back was a small two-story building made of bronze, with carved beams and pillars, like a small palace.

Bai Fu was taken aback, communicated with the big fish with the python beads for a while, and smiled to everyone: "The fish god said, our boat is too slow, and it can give us a ride. I don't know who is brave enough to ride with me ?”

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, obediently.In the end, only the Ruan brothers had the courage to accompany Bai Fu on the ride.

Bai Fu ordered the men to move their bags and horses into the palace on the fish's back.After getting settled, with the help of the python beads, he informed Big Fish.

The big fish raised its head and roared, making a low-pitched roar that was soul-stirring.A thick jet of water sprayed out from the back of the fish, like a fountain blowing out, as wide as an umbrella covering a tree crown.

Bai Fu only felt his body sway, the big fish broke through the waves like an unleashed wild horse, like an arrow off the string.Jumping out of the water for a while, and half submerged in the water for a while, galloping like lightning.The green mountains on both sides of the strait could not stop retreating, and the twelve peaks of Wushan passed by in an instant.The speed of the disease, soaring through the clouds and riding the wind!
Bai Fu and the others were extremely nervous at the beginning, relying on the sea and the wind, they grasped the bronze railing on the second floor with both hands.After a few waves rushed down, I felt that although the speed of the big fish was fast, it was actually more stable and safer than the boat, thrilling and exciting, and fun and interesting.

Other boats and boats on the river felt a blur before their eyes, and before they could see clearly, the big fish passed by.The travelers on board wondered, where did the warship come from, the speed of the ship is so terrifying!
Seeing this, only the most experienced boat boss would kneel on the bow of the boat, burn incense and offer sacrifices, and throw pig's head, bull's head and other tributes into the river, praying to the god of the river to bless the boat and sail safely!

The speed of the big fish was astonishing, and it came to Zigui Xiling Gorge in a few days.Xiling Gorge starts from Xiangxikou in the west and ends at Nanjinguan in the east, with a length of more than [-] miles. It is the longest gorge among the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River and is famous for its many beaches and rapids.

The entire gorge area is composed of high mountains and canyons and dangerous shoals and reefs. There are gorges in the gorges, and the big gorges cover the small gorges; there are beaches in the beaches, and the big beaches contain small beaches.

From west to east, there are four gorge areas: Bingshubaojian Gorge, Niuganmafei Gorge, Kongling Gorge, and Dengying Gorge, as well as dangerous beaches such as Qingtan, Xietan, Kongling Beach, and Yaocha River.

Arriving at Kongyu Beach in Kongling Gorge, the peaks and ridges on both sides of the bank are Cuiwei, the river is narrow and the river is turbulent. This is the "crown of dangerous beaches" in the Three Gorges, and the beach is densely covered with rocks.During the dry season, the reefs are exposed to the surface of the river like stone forests; during the high tide season, the reefs are submerged in the water and become submerged reefs. In addition, the channel is curved and narrow, and the ship will sink on the reef if it is a little careless.If you don't come here, even the most experienced ship boss will be extremely nervous and dare not take it lightly.

The Ruan brothers were quite familiar with this section of waterway, seeing the big fish not slowing down, they could not help but secretly complain.

Sure enough, once entering the Kongling Gorge, the canyon twists and turns, turning thousands of times.In front of Pingshan, it was about to crash into the opposite cliff. The big fish swung its tail and drifted past. The road turned around, leaving behind waves of spray.

When I came to Kongyu Beach, it was in dry water, and there were many reefs, like swords, guns, swords and halberds.Not to mention the Ruan brothers, even Bai Fu saw the danger.

Hearing the big fish's dragon chant, it was like a dam breaking in a dammed lake, and a flood of water rushed in behind it, setting off a huge wave that completely submerged Kongyu Beach.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

　In Legend of Tang, there are many weird and exciting things, no less than today's web articles.
