Qimen Qianwang

There is a small island called Qixing in the sea near Ludong. As the name suggests, the small island is very narrow and long, with seven obvious forks. It seems to be divided, but it is tightly connected.

On the north side of the island is a cliff called Zhaixing, which stretches for dozens of miles, surrounded by white clouds on weekdays, with dense forests, waterfalls and strange rocks, and apes go back and forth between them. A long time ago, people on the island would go hunting on the mountain, but Seven or eight years ago, a strange thing happened. When someone tried to climb the mountain to hunt, they always reached the resting platform in the middle of the mountain and didn't know where to go.Occasionally, there are wild animals such as pheasants and deer on the platform for the people on the island to pick up. Since then, the people on the island have started to say that there are gods living on the cliff.

The people on the island usually make a living by fishing. After a tiring day, because they have nothing to do for entertainment, they climb to bed early at night to sleep.At this time, in the slightly dark night, a thin figure was climbing up the Star Picking Cliff.It may be because he was not careful when climbing, and the palm of his left hand was cut. Although he pressed it from time to time, blood still dripped down.The young man cursed bitterly, "This old guy hasn't given me anything to eat for almost half a month. If you don't give me any, I won't serve you anymore!"

Although he was cursing, his hands and feet did not stop for a moment. When he reached the middle of the mountain, he stood still, took three steps forward, then took a step back, took two steps to the left, and then followed the steps of walking three times and retreating one step. Moving forward, after reaching the edge of the cliff, he tightened his trouser waist, spat on his left and right hands respectively, and then struggled to climb up.

The young man was called Shen You, and the people on the island told him that he was picked up from the sea with a plank.The fisherman who found him was called Niu Ba. He was short in stature, but rather long, black and fat. He had never had a wife. When he found him, Niu Ba was very surprised. On the board, there was nothing wrong with him. On the one hand, Niu Ba had no heirs, and on the other hand, he felt that the child had a lot of blessings, so he took him in.And according to the nameplate tied with the red rope around his neck, he was named Shen You.

However, when Shen You was nine years old, Niu Ba never came back from a trip to the sea. From then on, the young man began to eat hundreds of meals. To eat, after climbing up, you will become a fairy, and you can eat whatever you want.After believing it was true, he spent nearly a day climbing to the platform in the middle of the mountain. It was already dark at that time, and he clearly saw the edge of the cliff from above, but he couldn't walk over it anyway.

While he was crying, he suddenly met a tattered old man.The slovenly old man stared at him carefully, that kind of gaze made Shen You forget to cry for a while.Finally, the sloppy old man brought him to the top of the cliff as if he saw a treasure. On that day, he ate a chicken leg. The sloppy old man told him, "If you come up every other day, you can eat meat."

At that time, he just wanted to satisfy his hunger, so he naturally obeyed the order of the sloppy old man.As he grows older, he gradually takes this as a habit, and he will come up every other day. Naturally, the old man will also teach him some miscellaneous things, including literacy and deciphering, Zamabu, and Kanyu Physiognomy, Breathing, Chess and Go...

Although he is young and playful, he is talented and intelligent after all. After a few years, he can barely learn some tricks, and occasionally he will be praised by the sloppy old man. A chicken leg or a large piece of meat is a possible reward.

With the increase of practice time with the old man, the young man felt that climbing the mountain became easier and easier, but this time it took a little more than a quarter of an hour after reaching the top of the mountain. The young man will not think too much, so he naturally thinks that he is old , the reason for the long strength.

What was extremely out of harmony with the lush forest was an extremely dilapidated wooden house. The boy made a face, then came to the hut respectfully, and said softly, "Master, I'm here..."

After saying it three times, no one responded, "Could it be that you're not here again?" With a little surprise, Shen You gently opened the door and walked in.

The wooden house was still very chaotic, a door panel of unknown age fell on the ground, covered with straw in a mess.It's just that in stark contrast to it is the other side. I saw a portrait hanging on it. I heard from the master that this person is called Xia Yu. The first thing I do every day when I come up and the last thing when I leave is to kowtow to him.It's just that at this moment, unlike the master's piety, what the young man cares about is the few plates he visits in the open space under the portrait, including the fruit and snow-white steamed buns that make him salivate.

The last few times he came up, the sloppy old man was not here, and only some wild fruits were left in the house. Every time he came to eat, he began to practice according to the technique of breathing and breathing taught by the old man.After practice, I went down the mountain.After eating the wild fruit last time, the boy finally turned his attention to the plate in front of the portrait.

Seeing the snow-white steamed buns on the plate, the boy couldn't help licking his lips, his eyes filled with a different kind of scorching heat.Once this idea was born, it would naturally grow wildly like mushrooms after a spring rain, and I couldn't help stretching out my hand.

Many things are difficult to think about, but it becomes much easier in an instant after taking the first step. When the boy got the steamed bun, he no longer hesitated before, and stuffed it into his mouth all at once.The sweetness produced by the softness mixed with saliva gave him a different kind of enjoyment all of a sudden.

After a while, one steamed bun had already been swallowed, and there was no slightest hesitation when reaching out to the second one. It seemed that something was going smoothly.When he was holding it, he didn't notice that the blood dripping from his left hand dripped onto the somewhat gray scroll of the portrait. The gray scroll was moistened by the blood, like a meld of veins, some veins thinner than a hair. The son rushed over the portrait.

Before he got the second steamed bun, Shen You suddenly felt that something was wrong. When he looked up, he saw the eyes of the person on the portrait suddenly lit up. Shen You was so frightened that he quickly put down his hand reaching for the steamed bun and rubbed his eyes vigorously. , staring at the portrait.

I saw that the eyes of the person in the portrait were really bright and dark, as if they were opening and closing, at that moment, Shen You was frightened into a panic.Even though he is naturally courageous, he has never encountered such a strange thing.Immediately, his legs softened and he knelt down.

The boy kneeling on the ground kowtowed and said, "Grandpa Patriarch, I will never dare again, I don't know... I will never dare again..."

He kowtowed to the portrait like pounding garlic, but he didn't realize that the light on the portrait was getting stronger and stronger.

When Shen You looked up again, he suddenly felt that the portrait in front of him was covered with a golden light, that light was so soft, but also so dazzling, as soft as the amniotic fluid wrapping a baby, and as dazzling as the The sharp awl when inserting the sole.

Before he could react, he saw that the golden light had already condensed into a bunch, and this bunch of light like a needle, a thread, and a rope penetrated into the center of his eyebrows in an instant, and the young man suddenly He felt that his mind was about to split apart, like countless small needles bumping into it, finally he couldn't bear it anymore, he let out a loud cry, and passed out.

In the groggy state, Shen You seemed to feel that one picture after another appeared in his mind, and different people flashed through his pictures one by one. There was a majestic monarch in it, and there were wanderings. Travelers in the world, there are courtiers in the court, scholars who laugh and scold, and men who gather in the mountains and forests. They are either majestic, persistent, resolute, unruly, or domineering, but there is one thing that has never been seen before. What has changed is the part in my heart when I think of the people, piety!

In this way, the different screens switched back and forth, and at the end, like a torn curtain, a pair of golden animal skin scrolls suddenly appeared, and four very abrupt flashes appeared on the animal skin scrolls. A large golden character - "Thousand Gates"!

Those four words are so dazzling that people dare not look at them closely.

But at this moment, a word as black as ink suddenly appeared: "Humans do not have the claws and teeth of tigers and wolves, nor the strength of lions and elephants, but they can bind tigers and capture wolves, drive lions and elephants away, without it, only wisdom!"

After this passage appeared, for a while, the countless pitch-black characters were like moths rushing to the flames, following one another without hesitation.Coming towards Shen You's mind.Shen You, who had passed out, stretched his legs, and the illusion in his mind disappeared, as if he had completely died.
