Chapter 140 The Adventure of Huangshan Mountain

The beauty of spring in the south of the Yangtze River is boundless, the river maple is like fire and the river water is like orchid.Chen Mengsheng, Xiang Xiaotian and Shangguan Yanran were sitting in the small boats with their burdens on their backs, and there were only seven or eight people on the boat going west along the Yangtze River.Shangguan Yanran kept asking about Xiang Xiao Tianyi City along the way, and today Chen Mengsheng was woken up by Shangguan Yanran before dawn.The three of them rushed to the pier after tidying up a bit, and boarded the boat to Xiang Xiaotian's hometown.

Yangzhou Mansion has been infested by evil spirits for these years, and now the waterway is opening for the first time.There are small boats on the pier to solicit customers, and fortunately, there are people who go to Huizhou on the same boat to do business.Chen Mengsheng and the others were able to board the boat. It is said that the boatman does not like to have female relatives board the boat for long journeys.But seeing that Shangguan Yanran and Chen Mengsheng were both wearing Taoist robes, they didn't dare to offend the Taoist, so they let Shangguan Yanran board the boat.

In March and April, when it is misty and rainy in the south of the Yangtze River, the light rain on the top of the black tent looks beautiful at first glance, but it becomes unbearable after a long time.Especially for a girl like Shangguan Yanran who had been on a boat for three days, her body was so wet and sticky that it was really uncomfortable.When the boat travels to both sides of Yanghu Lake, there are steep cliffs splitting like a magic ax and straight into the sky. The majestic momentum makes people fascinated.Shangguan Yanran lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time and had never seen such a majestic and continuous mountain. She asked in amazement: "Brother Xiang, this mountain is so majestic! The dense stone forest and dense walls make people admire."

Xiang Xiaotian smiled and said: "Silly girl, we have reached the foot of Huangshan Mountain now. It is said that you don't see the mountains when you return from the Five Sacred Mountains, and you don't look at the mountains when you return from Huangshan Mountain. After passing this Yang Lake, we will reach the boundary of Huizhou. When we arrive in Huizhou, we will Hire a cart for a day’s journey to Yicheng. Now this is the most beautiful time in Yicheng, the pear trees all over the street are blooming, and the petals are falling down, it’s like snowing.” Shangguan Yanran was told by Xiang Xiaotian What's more, I am yearning to go to Yicheng as soon as possible.

Sitting on the side of the boat, Chen Mengsheng smiled and said, "Junior Sister, your wounds are the ones to be naughty, and you will make sense after you recover."

Shangguan Yanran said coquettishly: "What else should I worry about with my senior brother here?"

"Yes, well said. Girl, your senior brother is more anxious than you about your injury! There is no one who just sits and ignores his wife, brother, you say yes." Xiang Xiaotian's loud voice attracted the fellow on the boat Everyone looked sideways at the three of them, Chen Mengsheng remained silent in embarrassment, Shangguan was flushed with shame, only Xiang Xiaotian looked indifferent.

For a while, no one spoke in the boat and fell into silence, only two elderly couples rowing were supporting the boat. A loud noise from the "canopy" broke the silence, and the couple at the bow and stern of the boat screamed.

People in the cabin rushed to the bow of the boat to see what happened. Chen Mengsheng was crowded behind and didn't know what was going on outside the boat.Xiang Xiaotian shouted: "Brother, someone fell off a cliff..."

Chen Mengsheng protected Shangguan Yanran and squeezed forward, only to see a muscular young man lying on the bow of the boat.A long hemp rope was tied around his waist, and the bamboo beetle on his back was beyond recognition.Shangguan Yanran was so frightened that she quickly retreated to the cabin, the people on the boat were all businessmen who were going to Huizhou to do business, and when they encountered such a thing, they cursed bad luck.

The old couple who were rowing were even more complaining. Not long after the opening of the waterway in Yangzhou Prefecture, a new boat was smashed into a big hole.The boss of the boat hurriedly bowed to the people on the boat and said, "Masters and officials, I am really sorry for everyone today. A big hole was smashed into the bow of the boat by a herb picker, and the boat can no longer go forward. .”

As soon as the boss of the boat finished speaking, several people began to curse, but most of them were looking for money rather than anger.Knowing that it happened because they each went back to the ship's warehouse to pack up the goods, the boat owner and his wife rowed to the shore.

The boat stopped at the beach, and the guests on the boat got off the boat one after another, and went to Huizhou with the goods to find him.The boat boss and his wife and Chen Mengsheng were the only three left in the boat, and the old couple were also charitable people. After the boat drew back, they put the dead body on the bow of the boat on the beach, and piled up three stones beside the dead body.This is to tell people that the deceased died violently, and if anyone knows him, he will tell the family of the deceased to collect the body.After finishing the work, the two couples hurriedly wanted to return the money to Chen Mengsheng and the other three, but Chen Mengsheng waved his hand and declined.

The old couple said thank you for holding up the boat, and they are going to be busy repairing the boat.Xiang Xiaotian looked sideways at the hemp rope on the waist of the dead body on the ground, and Shangguan Yanran asked curiously: "Brother Xiang, what are you looking at? Let the senior brother do a ritual for him to save him from going to six realms, he died in vain too." poor man."

Xiang Xiaotian shook his head and said, "Brother, this man died strangely. Look at the break in the rope around his waist!"

Chen Mengsheng and Shangguan Yanran walked to the place where the long rope broke. Chen Mengsheng squatted down and said, "Brother, the break of the long rope looks like a flower. It should be broken by the sharp stone on the mountain, right?"

Xiang Xiaotian said with certainty: "This fracture is definitely not broken by rocks. The broken fracture should be broken from the top to the bottom. But this fracture is broken horizontally. I guess it was bitten by a small thing. Devoured and broken."

Shangguan Yanran responded, "Could it be the grass rope bitten off by a mouse?

Xiang Xiaotian thought for a while and said: "It looks a bit like but it wasn't bitten by a mouse, and there is no mouse bite mark on the fracture. Let my brother call out the soul of the dead ghost and ask, so as to save us from guessing."

Chen Mengsheng nodded and drew out the man's soul with both hands. The ghost's soul seemed a little scared in front of the three strangers.

Chen Mengsheng asked: "Who are you? Why did you fall off the cliff?"

"My name is Zhang Liugen. I don't know why I fell down."

Chen Mengsheng sighed: "Another fool, is there anyone else in your family?"

Zhang Liugen said dejectedly: "No more, I just collect medicine and sell money in this mountain to make a living."

Chen Mengsheng looked up at the steep cliff and said, "I can save you into the six realms of reincarnation and reincarnation. Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

Zhang Liugen hesitated to speak, and finally murmured to himself: "Unfulfilled wish? She has already gone, I can't give her anything, but I just can't forget her. She will never come back again , she will never come back..."

Shangguan Yanran was shocked to find that she could see Zhang Liugen's soul and hear what he said.He stepped forward and asked, "Brother Zhang, don't you want to see her again?"

Zhang Liugen lowered his head and said: "She is not the original her anymore, I have been waiting for her here..., I only hope that she can live well now, there is no extravagance..." Zhang Liugen finished speaking He raised his head and looked north for a long time.

Shangguan Yanran said sadly: "I envy her so much. Asking what is love in the world is what makes life and death agree. After going through hardships, it has become a thing. It is the saddest thing in the world if you see the person you once loved become a stranger. of."

Chen Mengsheng recited the mantra of rebirth, and Zhang Liugen was put on the soul chain by Bai Wuchang and suddenly shouted: "I will always be the original me, I will never change, I will never want you..."

Shangguan Yanran and Chen Mengsheng heard Zhang Liugen's heart-piercing shouts gradually fade away. Although they don't know what happened to Zhang Liugen before his death, they can only wish him not to live so hard in the next life...

Xiang Xiaotian leaned over and looked at Shangguan Yanran like a monster, and said, "Girl, can you also see the ghost of that unlucky ghost on the ground?"

Shangguan Yanran also said inexplicably: "I don't know, but I just saw Zhang Liugen's dead soul. It's not as scary as I thought, he is a poor man."

Neither Xiang Xiaotian nor Chen Mengsheng thought that in order to detoxify Shangguan Yanran's corpse that day in the Han Ling, how could cutting her wrists and feeding her blood open her heavenly eyes?The two of them pretended not to know, and buried Zhang Liugen's dead body.Since it was something harmful to human life on Mount Huangshan, Chen Mengsheng couldn't ignore it.Xiang Xiaotian was very familiar with Mount Huangshan, and led Chen Mengsheng and Shangguan Yanran up the stone steps at the back of the mountain...

It was almost dusk when we climbed to Emaoling, and the three of us were sweating profusely.Xiang Xiaotian stopped walking and said, "We'll just stay here overnight, and if we go up in the middle of the night, the water will turn into ice."

Shangguan Yanran stopped to look at it and said: "Brother Xiang, there are clouds and mists around here, could it be that we have already ascended to the sky?"

Xiang Xiaotian laughed and said: "Huangshan Mountain is famous all over the world for its strange rocks, strange pines, clouds, seas and hot springs. The white clouds under our feet are the sea of ​​fog. Do you see if the huge rocks there look like monkeys? That's called monkeys watching the sea. On the other side The cliffs are the only way we must go to Tiandu Peak, and only on the steep cliffs can there be such precious medicinal materials as Ganoderma lucidum and Shouwu."

Chen Mengsheng couldn't help feeling apprehensive looking at the towering steep wall, let alone those herbal pickers with a hemp rope tied around their waists.Xiang Xiaotian looked at the two of them looking up at the mountain and shook his head and said: "Don't look at it, this place is still far from the top of the mountain! Brother, if you have good legs and feet, I will trouble you to find a cave for the night or something. Go find it, girl." Bring some pine branches and firewood, we will meet here in half an hour. Maybe I can bring back a Huangshan green sheep, the meat of that thing is delicious." Xiang Xiaotian walked away with Bawang bow on his back.

Chen Mengsheng said to Shangguan Yanran: "Why don't I accompany my junior sister to gather firewood, the mountains and roads here are steep and full of trees, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for my junior sister."

Shangguan Yanran giggled and said, "Senior Brother, you were infected by Brother Zhang in the daytime? The rocky path is not a problem for me, hehe..." Shangguan Yanran ran away with a smile like a cheerful butterfly .

When Chen Mengsheng was told by Shangguan Yanran, he really found that he was influenced by Zhang Liugen invisibly.Thinking about whether I can be Shangguan Yanran?Maybe I can't give her anything. Feelings have been a double-edged sword since ancient times, either hurting others or hurting myself...

The more Chen Mengsheng thought about it, the more he couldn't find the answer, so he jumped up the mountain on the vertical ladder in a daze...
