The dream of a lonely hero

Gao Qiong looked at him for a long time and said, "Forget it! If I have to die, I will die before my master." He picked up the iron palladium and ran up the mountain. He was called back by Zhao Guangyi after running a few steps.

Zhao Guangyi said, "Mr. Li Chen! Is it true that there is no way to heaven and no door to the earth?"

Feng Zan looked at the mountains in the south and said, "There is indeed no way to heaven, but there should be a door to the earth. I once heard an old man in his eighties on the mountain say that there is a narrow mountain channel in the south of Tuoluo Valley leading to Dingzhou. He walked through it when he was in his teens."

Everyone's eyes lit up. Yuanda said, "I'll go find it! I'll go find it! Isn't it in the south direction!"

Gao Qiong said, "Yes! Let's find it. Let's find it together. We are not afraid of not finding it."

Feng Zan said, "But when the old man was in his twenties, he couldn't squeeze through."

There was a sudden silence. Zhao Guangyi thought, "Sir! What should we do now?"

Feng Zan said, "Look for it, and we'll talk about it after we find it."

Zhao Guangyi then ordered Yuanda, Ma Yin, Gao Qiong, Dai Xing, Li Jun, Fu Dun, Yang Mao, and Mi Chao to look for the narrow ravine on the overgrown cliffs in the south of the valley. Yuanda and others wielded their weapons and cut through the thorns and searched carefully.

Feng Zan looked at the slowly flowing and winding stream under his feet. The stream flowed from south to north. After thinking for a moment, he walked south along the stream. Zhao Guangyi, Chai Yuxi, Liu Qi, Wang Yande, and Yan Yun followed behind him. After walking more than a mile, a field of weeds as tall as a person covered the source of the stream. Feng Zan asked Yan Yun to cut the weeds. Yan Yun chopped forward with a sword and walked more than fifty steps. He found that the stream flowed out from the cracks in the cliff. Feng Zan approached the cliff. The crack was about one person high and one foot wide. The stream was only deep enough to cover the ankles. He looked up at the cliff that pierced the sky and said, "Can Huailong climb up?"

Yan Yun said, "No problem."

Feng Zan said, "Then I'll have to trouble Huailong to climb up to the top of the cliff to find out where the stream comes from."

Yan Yun then used the light skill of flying on land to do a "swallow drilling into the sky" and jumped up three feet high with his toes. He held the crack of the cliff tightly with his hands, and jumped up three feet high with his toes. He jumped up again with his toes and touched the cliff again. After a few jumps, he quickly turned into a black dot and slowly disappeared on the cliff that towered into the clouds. Zhao Guangyi, Chai Yuxi, Liu Qi, and Wang Yan were all stunned. Zhao Guangyi ordered Chai Yuxi and Liu Qi to go back to the camping place to summon Yuanda, Ma Yan, Gao Qiong, Dai Xing, Li Jun, Fu Dun, Yang Mao, and Mi Chao to catch some prey to fill their stomachs. Chai Yuxi and Liu Qi left as ordered. Zhao Guangyi ordered Wang Yande to wait for news from Yanyun by the crevice. He invited Feng Zan to wander by the stream.

Zhao Guangyi sighed, "Alas! I have so many brave and desperate men with me, but I can't count on any one of them at the critical moment! It's easy to die generously in normal times, but it's hard to die when the time comes. Apart from Chen Congbao, Zhang Baoyang, the "Golden Lion", and Wang Zhao, the only one who can die loyally when the time comes is you. If you hadn't risked your life and moved the huge rock that rolled down the mountain road yesterday, I, Zhao Tingyi, wouldn't be here today."

Feng Zan said, "My lord! Gao Qiong, Dai Xing,Li Bin, Yan Yun and other brave warriors were not untiring. It was normal for ordinary people to be terrified and helpless at that time. Please do not blame me, my lord.

Zhao Guangyi said: "You can remain calm even when Mount Tai collapses in front of you! Tingyi is really short-sighted. I thought you were a strategist like Zhang Zifang and Zhuge Liang, but I didn't expect you to be a warrior who can rival the Overlord. With just a light touch of a paper folding fan, the boulder rolled down the cliff. Even Mr. 'Qingfeng' Guo Mao might not be like this."

Feng praised: "My lord, you are too kind! I am just a scholar who writes and writes, and I don't know any martial arts. The Overlord of Western Chu was so strong that he hated the sky for not having a ring and the earth for not having a handle. 'Qingfeng' Guo Mao practiced both literature and martial arts and was unparalleled in the world. How can I compare with them! ”

Zhao Guangyi doubted, “The boulder on the mountain road weighs more than a thousand pounds. How could you roll down the cliff with a simple push if you don’t have the strength of ten thousand pounds?”

Feng Zan said, “My lord, you must have heard of the saying of “four ounces to move a thousand pounds”. Pushing with force is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, but it is not unmovable. As long as you observe the point of force of the boulder and follow the trend, you will see the so-called miracle.”

Zhao Guangyi believed it for the time being and said, “What if the shaking boulder rolls down the mountain road before you push it?”

Feng Zan said, “You must not admit defeat before the butcher’s knife falls on your neck. Panic is equivalent to waiting for death. As long as you are calm and composed and respond calmly, even for a moment, you may be able to survive and turn danger into safety. ”

Zhao Guangyi was so shocked that his whole body went cold. He thought: Feng Zan is not a god after all. If the boulder falls before he touches it with his fan, who can survive? He is also taking a risk. After a long time, he said: "Sir, you have great concentration! How did you cultivate such concentration?"

Feng Zan said: "No desire."

Zhao Guangyi said: "No desire?"

Feng Zan said: "Not controlled by desire. When I saw the shaking boulder, I didn't think about life and death, didn't want to work for anyone, and had no distracting thoughts. I just wanted to move the boulder away. If you think too much, the burden will naturally become heavier. If the burden is heavy, it will naturally be half the result with twice the effort, or twice the result with twice the effort."

Zhao Guangyi nodded thoughtfully, changed the subject, and said: "Sir, you are so strong that everyone would think you are brave enough to defeat ten thousand men."

Feng Zan smiled and said: "Just trying to scare people who don't know the details. ”

The two chatted for a long time. Chai Yuxi and Liu Qi led Yuanda, Ma Yin, Gao Qiong, Dai Xing, Li Jun, Fu Dun, Yang Mao, and Mi Chao, who were carrying wild game such as hares, pheasants, and deer, to meet Zhao Guangyi. Yuanda, Ma Yin and others cut some firewood and grilled the game. The grilled game had no salt, so Zhao Guangyi and others could not swallow it on normal days. At this time, they were hungry and ate it like delicacies from mountains and seas. The generals ate it voraciously, and the counselors ate it with relish. After everyone finished eating, Zhao Guangyi ordered Yuanda, Ma Yin, Li Jun, and Fu Dun to replace Li Bin, Sang Zan, Ge Ba, and Fu Qian who were guarding the mountain pass. Not long after Yuanda, Ma Yin, Li Jun, and Fu Dun left, Li Bin, Sang Zan, Ge Ba, and Fu Qian came back to hand over the order. Zhao Guangyi asked: "Li Bin, is there any movement from the Golden Spear Society thieves on the mountain? ”

Li Bin said: “Reporting to the Lord! I didn’t hear any movement of the bandits on the mountain.Quiet. Lord, rest assured, the pass we are guarding is very dangerous——"

Sang Zan said: "We are guarding the gate of hell for the thieves. Even if he has thousands of troops, it will be useless."

What they said made Zhao Guangyi really unbelievable. The shaking boulders on the mountain road yesterday made him feel scared. At that time, many generals were scared out of their wits. I hope it is as they said. Li Bin, Sang Zan, Ge Ba, and Fu Qian saw that their master had a cold expression, and each of them knew what to do and went to the side to eat game. Although there was a think tank Feng Zan by his side, Zhao Guangyi was still anxious. He thought, if Yan Yun found out that the crevice in front of him was a way to escape, how could he squeeze through; what if Yan Yun found out that this was not it? What if the thieves of the Golden Spear Society on the top of the mountain came down to kill him? His heart was in a mess, but his facial expression was as calm as water.

Gao Qiong couldn't help but stare at Feng Zan and questioned him, saying: "Black charcoal head! You asked us to find a path to Dingzhou. We were so tired that we cut through thorns and thorns. Our clothes were torn. We couldn't even find a path, but you acted as if nothing had happened! I ask you, where is the path? Where is the path? "

Feng Zan said calmly: "Gao, brave man, please be patient. There will be a path when you reach the mountain."

Gao Qiong said: "Bullshit! I have already reached the mountain. Where is the path? Where is the path?"

Zhao Guangyi was in no mood to listen to his noise. He glared at Gao Qiong fiercely, and Gao Qiong dared not say anything. Zhao Guangyi turned his head to look at Feng Zan who was calmly waving a paper folding fan, and was about to say something but stopped. Suddenly, a faint voice came from the crack of the stone "Li Chen! Li Chen!" Feng Zan walked quickly towards the crack of the cliff, and Zhao Guangyi followed closely. Feng Zan put his ear close to the crack of the stone, and the voice became clearer and clearer "Li Chen! I am Yan Yun, I am Yan Yun, do you hear me? ”

Feng Zan said: "Huailong! I heard it. Can this crack lead to a way out of the valley?"

Yan Yun said: "Yes! As long as we pass through this crack, there will be a way out."

Feng Zan said: "You take a rest for a while, and we will go out together after the crack is opened."

Zhao Guangyi heard it carefully. After a brief excitement, he felt even more helpless. He patted the stone wall without saying a word.

Feng Zan turned around and walked slowly back to the barbecue place, fanning himself with a paper fan and thinking. Zhao Guangyi followed slowly.

Gao Qiong, Li Bin and other generals were thirsty and lay down by the stream to drink water. Gao Qiong said: "It is better to die of fullness or bloating than to die of hunger or thirst!"

"Gurgle gurgle" after drinking a full stomach, he lay down by the stream.

After drinking the water, Li Bin said: "We are thirsty, how can the master not be thirsty? ”

Gao Qiong got up and said, "We are both from the outlaws. You are more considerate than me. Please give the master some water!"

Li Bin said, "Gao Dachi! How can the master drink water like an animal when he is of such status!"

Gao Qiong said, "Yes! What should we do?"

Li Bin said, "You forgot! We saw many wild gourds when we were looking for the way."

Gao Qiong said, "What are the wild gourds?"

Li Bin said, "Gao Dachi! Gao Dachi! What else can you do besides eating! Isn't it a gourd when you split the wild gourd? Use the gourd to get water for the master."

Gao Qiong slapped his forehead and said, "Yes!" After that, the two of them hurriedly looked for wild gourds. Soon, Gao Qiong and Li Bin found a wild gourd.Each of them held a bucket of water, one in front and one behind, and asked their master Zhao Guangyi to drink. Zhao Guangyi was really thirsty, but he was too worried to drink, so he pushed it away. The water in the bucket spilled on the pebbles at his feet, and pungent green smoke rose. When grilling game, the pebbles on the ground were roasted hot. Zhao Guangyi pushed. Gao Qiong stepped on the pebbles that had been poured with water, and jumped back because of the heat. It didn't feel like stone but clay. He accidentally fell and rolled up in a hurry. Li Bin joked: "Gao Dachi! You are so lucky to say that Mr. Feng is a drunkard." Gao Qiong said: "I-I-" I was speechless.

Feng Zan looked at the clay-like pebbles that Gao Qiong had stepped on, thought for a moment, laughed out loud, and said, "Haha! Who said that Gao Zhuangshi was a good-for-nothing? If it weren't for Gao Zhuangshi, I don't know when we would be able to get out of the Gyro Valley!"
