A Clash of Gods

The water is turbulent, the mountains are beautiful in the distance, the clouds are shrouded, and the beauty of the scenery is intoxicating.

A boat is going up against the current, and the boatman is clever and cautious, but also cautious. Here, the peaks on both sides of the water channel are steep and dangerous, the river surface is turbulent, and the water channel is tortuous and has many dangerous beaches. It's strange and interesting, and interesting and interesting. The boat walks like a fish on the waterway. It's very smart.

Dangerous situations are hardships for many people, but for some people they are fun.

Qi Ning stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the mountains on both sides of the bank, coming across, feeling the simple and natural breath, relaxed and happy, although knowing that this trip to Xichuan was not a good job, but at the moment breathing the breath of air, I just felt that it was just this A joy is enough to live up to this trip.

"Qi Feng, I look at the retirement, I can come to Xichuan." Qi Ning took a deep breath and smiled.

Qi Feng stood aside, but his face was sad and weak, and said: "Hou Ye, even if I climbed to Xichuan next time, I won't walk the waterway."

This time, Qi Ning knew that Qi Feng, who jumped up and down on weekdays, turned out to be a dry duck. He was seasick as soon as he got on the boat. If it was not faster from the waterway, Qi Feng had no choice but to say nothing.

A middle-aged man in his early forties pointed to the front and said, "Hou Ye, there is the Goddess Peak, beautiful and graceful. From here, if you don't look at the Goddess Peak, then it's a waste."

This middle-aged man is the chief of Tianjia Medicine, who is responsible for the purchase of medicinal materials, called Tian Mao. This time he took Qi Ning with him to Shu. On this way, Jing Ning and others were taking good care of them. When Tian Ning doesn't have to worry about it, and what path to take along the way, Tian Mao is also very clear.

After Qi Ning and his entourage left Beijing, they traveled westward in a low-key manner. It was not a day on the way. After passing through Yangyang, they continued westward and went north along the Yangtze River.

Everyone went up the river, crossed the Yiling, and reached the Nanjin Pass, and soon reached the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. The thousands of miles of the Yangtze River merged into a large river. From the west, they passed through countless high mountains and dangerous roars. When they reached Wushan, they were surrounded by mountains. Blocking, the vast river cut like a giant axe, dashed a dangerous road between the mountains and the mountains, and traveled eastward all the way, forming the majestic, majestic, dangerous and charming Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.

Infinite scenery is at the peak of danger.

The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River is even more charming because of the steep mountains and tortuous valleys on both sides of the Yangtze River, but the water is fast here and the boats are shaking violently. The other guards under Qi Feng and Qi Ning are spinning on the ship, which is really miserable.

Everyone passed the Xiling Gorge, and soon reached the deep and beautiful Wu Gorge. At this time, the ship was walking inside the Wu Gorge. The twelve peaks of Wushan on both sides of the mountain rose out of the screen. The goddess peak was beautiful and the scenery was magnificent, but it made Qi Ning. Forget to linger.

The boatman turned a blind eye to this magnificent scenery, but he paid close attention to the waterway.

After Wu Gorge, enter the wide valley of Daning River. In front of it is Qutang Gorge. Because the water flow in Qutang Gorge is faster and the boat is more dangerous, even the old boatman may not be able to control it freely. Dare to take risks, for safety reasons, it is recommended to take the land, Qi Ning did not object, everyone abandoned the boat and took the land, took a night in Wushan County, and went over the mountain the next morning.

Badong is mountainous and rugged, and it is difficult to travel. It is known as the folk song of "Two Mountains Across, Looking at the Mountain to Run a Dead Horse".

Qi Ning ’s destination was to go to Chengdu first, but Tian Jia Yaoxing and his party were going to Brazil County. Now that they have entered Chuanzhong, Tian Mao has offered to send Qi Ning to Chengdu Fu Cheng. Qi Ning also knows that the land of Sichuan is rugged In a difficult situation, Tian Mao wanted to send himself to Chengdu and then turn to Brazil. On this way, he had to make a big circle. Politely declined, Tian Mao did not insist, so he sent a guy named Li Tang to lead the way to Qi Ning.

Li Tang is a native of Shudi. He travels between Beijing and Xichuan all the year round. He buys crude medicines around Xichuan, so he is very familiar with the terrain of Xichuan. Tian Mao left him, which left Qining with an extremely competent guide.

Although Qi Ning came to Xichuan as a mission, he and the little emperor were both indifferent. Knowing that the purpose of this time was to investigate the truth of the Black Rock Cave incident, it was most appropriate to be able to subdue the low-key travel. Naturally, it cannot be like the ordinary mission. That's a big fanfare for the trip.

The situation in Nishikawa is complicated, and the forces of all parties are intertwined. If you come over on the shelf of a mission, I am afraid that you will not see anything clearly.

After another two or three days, the distance from Jinguan City is getting closer and closer. However, the middle of Sichuan road is nineteen and eighteen turns, and it is surrounded by mountains. If there is no guide to lead the way, Qi Ning really doubts when and when he will arrive Jinguancheng.

When we walked to dusk on this day, we were not in front of the village and no shops. This situation is very common in Chuanzhong. The road in Chuanzhong is winding, and perhaps the road is crooked. I missed the time and couldn't find the shop.

Fortunately, Li Tang explained that there are tents on this road from time to time. The so-called tents are some well-meaning people who take care of people who miss their heads and prevent them from being blown by the wind and rain, so they occasionally build a shelter on the roadside. The grass shed, and there will be marks in the vicinity, for foreigners, naturally do not know these doorways, but Li Tang is an authentic Chuanzhong, who knows these well.

Sure enough, before the sky was completely dark, Li Tang really found the sign of the wild shed, searched for it, and really found the wild shed in a forest.

This shed is a wooden house built mainly of bamboo. The ground floor is elevated and rises above the ground. The second floor is the place to live.

"This is a wooden shed built by the Ba people." Li Tang explained: "In addition to the Han and Miao people, there are Ba people in Xichuan, but their ethnic groups are now fewer and fewer, and the population is not large, and they are not as good as the Han and Miao people. The forces in Nishikawa. "

Li Tang walked in the front, Qi Feng and others followed Qi Ning, carrying the package and approaching the wooden house. At this time, the sky was completely dark. In addition, there was really no other place to fall, otherwise Can only sleep in the wild.

Li Tang pushed open the door of the cabin and looked inside. He turned back and said, "There seems to be no one here. Let's stay here for one night."

Several people entered the house, and it was dark inside. Qi Ning was about to make a fire, but suddenly felt something was wrong. Looking forward, in the dark, he saw two shadows suddenly appearing in front of him, and took a little bit. Shocked, at this moment, the electric light flashed continuously, and suddenly the thunderbolt hit a thunderbolt in the air. When the electric light flashed, it shone into the wooden house, but Qi Ning had already seen the opposite but what they seemed to hold in their hands. , Staring at himself coldly.

Li Tang couldn't help but say, "This spring thunder came so early this year, I'm afraid the year is not very good." Suddenly aware of the difference, he found that Qi Feng's three figures were shaking and had been caught in front of Qi Ning.

Li Tang was startled.

After the three Qi Feng entered the house, naturally they soon noticed the difference. When the lightning flashed, Qi Ning certainly saw the figure suddenly appearing in the house. The three Qi Feng also saw it. Without saying anything, they immediately protected Qi Ning. .

Qi Ning thought that when he first entered the middle of Sichuan, he did n’t know each other, and there was no need to easily grudge. He smiled and said: "We came to Xichuan to do business and missed the road. It was too late and it was going to rain. Staying one night, a few rest assured that we will not disturb you. "

Li Tang said that this type of shed is not considered to be a master, but for the convenience of pedestrians. It seems that before this, some people have come here to rest.

The two did not speak, and it seemed that they were unwilling to be enemies with Qi Ning and others. They turned around and walked to the west side of the wooden house. Qi Ning saw this and ordered several people to the east side of the wooden house. Don't commit to river water.

Qi Ning sat down in a circle, Qi Feng was about to open the package to take out the dry food, another electric light flashed, and thunder started, and the raindrops that followed the soybeans had fallen from the sky, and the roof only crackled. .

Qi Feng smiled and said: "Hou .... Master, fortunately Xiaoli Jiling, if we didn't find it here, we would be drowned by this heavy rain."

He almost lost his mouth, but responded cleverly, realizing that there was still someone over there, and quickly changed his mouth.

Of course, he knew clearly that as a mission, Qi Ning did not bring too many people to come with a big fan. Naturally, it is necessary to act in a low-key manner. It is best to be able to reveal his identity. What ’s more, now that he is in the wilderness, there are several unknown People in the same room ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Naturally be more careful.

After adjusting for a while in this wooden house, although the inside of the wooden house was still dim, a few people still faintly saw it, and there were four or five people in a group there, similar to the number of people on their side.

Several people opened the package and took out the dry food. Although it was **** the way, they did not worry about eating and drinking, and they had to prepare enough dry food to avoid missing the head.

In addition to flat cakes, there are two ducks that are cooked after being air-dried. That is Qi Feng specially prepared for Xiaohouye. Once the roast duck is taken out, the fragrance is overflowing. Qi Feng also takes out the wine in a bamboo tube. , Laughed: "Young Master, how do you taste this wine?" This is Qifeng specially prepared after entering Xichuan. The wine brewed in many places in Xichuan is filled with bamboo tubes. In this way, the wine smells again Bamboo incense, the entrance is sweet.

Qi Ning has not received it yet, but he heard a voice behind him: "Excuse me, may I ... can I borrow some drinks?"

Several people immediately looked over, and saw a person coming from the wooden house, a pair of eyes looking at the bamboo tube in Qi Feng's hand.

Qi Feng smiled and said, "Do you like drinking too?"

The man shook his head and said, "No, I want wine ...!" After a pause, he said, "Yes, I like to drink too, can you give me half a barrel?"

Qi Feng looked at Qi Ning, but Qi Ning had already taken the bamboo tube and handed it to the man, saying: "Since drinking, how much is enough for the half tube, all it takes is that we still have here."

The man took his hands in a hurry and said, "Thank you." He bowed and turned around.

When Li Tang saw the man walking away, he lowered his voice and said: "He is a Miao, and he is not proficient in Chinese. He can hear it as soon as he hears it." Wearing Chinese clothes, but ... he is obviously a Miao, but he is wearing Chinese clothes to speak Chinese, which is really weird. "
