    The place where people live is remote, and the traces of tigers pass by their new hooves.

    Wild falcons peep through the grass, and village boats go up the stream.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? How is my hometown now, when we are on guard against bandits?

    In the past, we had few acquaintances, but there were already many battlefields.

    ??How could the Hulu have ever been so prosperous? They refused to stop fighting.

    Yan Yan listens to the boy, talks and laughs and looks for a title.

    Today, if you want to fly Linma, you should drive a drum cart first.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? all all all the generals in Hebei are all in great glory.

    It was Du Fu, a patriotic poet during the Tang Dynasty, who wrote these four poems "Resurrection of Sorrow". A total of twelve poems from this section have been handed down.  "Fu Chou" has been written before, and now it is written again.  Among the twelve poems, there are those who are worried about the things in front of them, and there are also those who are worried about current events.  These poems were written in the second year of the Dali calendar, when Tubo invaded Binling, the capital was under martial law, and there was commotion in all directions.  The poem says that in the past, relatives and friends were separated due to frequent wars and disasters. The situation today is even more unbearable. Because the general is prone to chaos, he is worried about endless wars. It is said that barbarians are easy to pacify, but wars are endless, because the general misses his hometown.  Chaos on the border will lead to glory, which will inevitably lead to war and disaster.  At that time, there were some vassal towns who had high achievements and supported their troops to march towards the central government, but the court blindly used the title and salary as a way to control the arrogance. For example, a horse has no effort to drive, and it is just a good name, which is not a strategy for driving.  After reading these poems, I realize that the poet is always worried about the chaos in the country and Min, and he does not care about national affairs because he is poor and remains in the country.

    At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, wars and disputes continued in the Central Plains. Jin and Mongolia continued to provoke the border areas, and the chaos was even worse than that of the previous dynasties.  Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty fled to the south to avoid trouble and established a small court in Hangzhou to maintain peace in the south of the Yangtze River. However, he still adopted the policy of bowing to the outside world and seeking peace internally, and intensifying exploitation and suppression internally. He always implemented the policy of "be willing to be weak but happy to be safe", and lived a life of luxury and luxury.  A life of luxury and waste.  The emperor was even more "middle-aged because he had many sexual desires, neglected political affairs, and transferred power to traitorous ministers." However, the people were in extreme poverty and famines continued.

    When war breaks out, monsters are born, so all kinds of monsters become more and more rampant.  Among them, the Blood Borer Sect, the Dead Souls Hall and the Caiyi Sect are especially the leaders, causing chaos everywhere and acting wantonly.  And real people from all walks of life also stepped forward to appease the people in troubled times.  Unfortunately, these monsters are extremely cunning, and some of them secretly colluded with the officials. Under the protection, they could not be eliminated and became a cancer.

    There is a large mountain in a very remote place in the southwest. Because the two mountains are connected, it is named Tuo Mountain. Because it is shaped like a camel, it is also called Shuangtuo Mountain.  To the west of the mountain, there is a small county called Tai County.  This place is located in a remote place, with mountains and mountains and inconvenient transportation. It has become a place where you can't get out or get in, but it has become a peaceful land in this troubled world.  Except for the occasional Mongolian troops who went out of their way to disturb some people by pretending to be passing by, it seemed calm and peaceful. As long as the people had food to eat, they didn't have many other requirements.

    There is a low courtyard in the northwest corner of the county. In the heavy rain at night, the dim yellow lights passing through the window look warm and peaceful in this dark night.  The big red "Happiness" characters on the doors and windows have already turned yellow and discolored after being exposed to the sun and rain. They finally couldn't withstand the tossing in the wind and rain, and swayed and fell, becoming mottled.

    The landlord¡¯s surname is Yang Youxuan, and he is the chief arrester of Tai County.  His parents and grandparents were born into poor farmers and died young due to famine. Fortunately, Yang Youxuan had a poor master who learned some boxing skills and survived those hard days.  After the master passed away, he found a job as a headhunter. Although it was hard work, he was still working as an official, and his life was easier than that of the poor people who were facing the loess and being thrown into the sky.

    "But in a job like catching a police officer, if you have a bad heart, there's nothing to say.  It happened that Yang Youxuan had always needed support from his fellow villagers when he was young, so he was naturally grateful. However, when he became the head catcher, he was always worried for fear of causing trouble to his elders in his hometown.  As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, your shoes will get wet, and you will end up offending some people overtly or covertly.  It is easy to offend people, and the danger is natural. If you face the thief directly, you may do it with real swords and guns at any time. It is just like living with your head on your head. If one day you encounter a hard idea,  This head is just gone.  Over the years, this hatred has naturally accumulated.  What Yang Youxuan is afraid of is not that he will lose his head, but that his family will be implicated by him.  Fortunately, Yang Youxuan has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is very thoughtful. He also hangs around the neighbors' houses during festivals and festivals, so he has been safe for so many years.

    The sky was gloomy that day, with layers of black clouds appearing in the distance. Lightning flashed in the clouds and thunder roared. It looked like a thunderstorm was coming soon.  The air became more and more heavy, and the surrounding area was filled with mist and mist.

    Sure enough, in the evening, big raindrops fell in a swipe.  In an instant, dust as high as a person's height was splashed on the dry mud, which was very similar to the surging waves at the seaside when the tide came. In a blink of an eye, they were sent back to the earth by the subsequent raindrops, and finally returned to calm.

    I saw Yang Youxuan standing by the window with the window leaf open, leaning against the platform, holding his new daughter in his arms.His recent wife caressed his beloved wife's shoulders with great affection, and got close to his wife's hair from time to time, greedy for the fascinating body fragrance.

    Yang Youxuan looked at his wife's spiritual eyes and asked softly: "Yan'er, are you cold?"

    Feng Ruyan shook her head and turned to look at the thick black clouds in the sky, but her face was a little pale.

    Yang Lingfeng sighed and said to himself: "I hope you can have a good dream tonight." After saying that, the two looked at each other, but they could see each other's uneasiness in each other's eyes.

    It was a quiet and peaceful night, but a burst of rapid breathing and screaming came from my ears.  "No, don't - go away -".

    Yang Youxuan suddenly woke up, sat up, and held Feng Ruyan in his arms.  "Yan'er? Wake up¡ª¡ª" He gently shook his wife Feng Ruyan's shoulders.  Feng Ruyan opened her eyes with difficulty and looked straight at Yang Youxuan. After a while, the dark figure in front of her gradually became clear.  Feng Ruyan seemed to have just woken up from the nightmare. She looked at Yang Youxuan next to her, then she snuggled into her husband's arms and cried softly, "Youxuan, he's here again, he's here again - I'm here again  I dreamed about him, woo woo"

    For two months, Feng Ruyan would dream of a "person" with a wolf's head and human body crawling out of her belly every night during thunderstorms, standing by the bedside, and calling her mother.  How could a weak woman not be afraid if she had such strange dreams repeatedly?  At this time, it seemed that she could only find a sense of security by snuggling into her husband's arms.

    Yang Youxuan sighed, but didn't say much. He murmured: "It's nothing, Yan'er, don't be afraid. Aren't I still here to accompany you?"

    Feng Ruyan gave a low "Yes" and lay down, her hands tightly hugging Yang Youxuan's neck.

    Yang Youxuan carefully felt the tremors coming from his wife's arms, but he could only use weak comfort and sighs to cover up the uneasiness in his heart. It seemed that he didn't want to sleep peacefully that night.

    The heavy rain is still falling, as if it is going to drown everything in the world; the rumbling thunder is still echoing in the fields, one after another, like a god running back and forth in the angry night, trying to smash everything in the world.

    Suddenly, a ball-shaped lightning penetrated through the gap in the window without any pause, and ran straight towards Feng Ruyan, who was sleeping under the comfort of her husband, like an elf who was familiar with everything here.  Yang Youxuan only felt a burst of white light in front of his eyes, which was elusive and unable to think. He could only stare blankly at this sparkling thing rushing toward him. Then he felt a strong force hit him, and there was a sharp pain in his head, and he fainted immediately.  .

    The heavy rain is still falling, the only difference is that the rumbling thunder seems to have gone away.

    "Youxuanyouxuanget up, it's time to go to the Yamenget up." Yang Youxuan opened his eyes and saw his wife Ruyan lying beside him, but her clothes were already neatly dressed. Yang Youxuan looked around and saw nothing.  Abnormally, the consciousness that had been wandering and frightened all night returned to his body.

    Yang Youxuan calmed down and looked as usual, but he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "What happened last night?" Then he stretched a few times and looked at Ruyan again, only to see her looking at him with a smile.  , she couldn't help but asked uneasily: "Yan'er, did you feel any discomfort last night?" When Ruyan heard her husband's sudden question, she suddenly said with a blank look on her face: "No, just  I just had that nightmare, and I slept very well after that. It¡¯s just that it¡¯s difficult for my husband to take care of me. I guess my husband didn¡¯t sleep well in the middle of the night last night, right? Then I will make it up to my husband tonight.  "After saying that, he threw himself into Yang Youxuan's arms and giggled non-stop.

    Yang Youxuan had no intention of joking at this time. He was puzzled, "Is it just an illusion?" He said to himself, "Maybe I was too tired last night and was confused?" After that, he smiled dumbly and gave him a hug.  Lying in his arms, his wife hastily tidied her clothes and got up.  After breakfast, Yang Youxuan hurriedly changed into clothes and went to the Yamen.

    That day, Yang Youxuan saw that the yamen was quiet and there were no lawsuits. He remembered that his wife had been pregnant for a long time and it was time to buy some things to replenish her health, so he started walking around on the street.  Turning around the intersection, I saw from a distance that a lot of people were surrounding the door of Mr. Huang's house at the end of the street. They were surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. It was hard to see clearly.  I think this yellow member is usually calm and honest. With his rich family background, he often helps his neighbors, so he has a good reputation.  Today, I don¡¯t know what happened that attracted everyone to watch.  Yang Youxuan's curiosity aroused and he walked over to see what was going on.

    There was a commotion, and when I walked in, I saw an old monk practicing Buddhism here.

    I saw the old monk sprinkling some white powder around Huang Yuanwai's mansion, then holding a Buddhist beads and a golden staff in the other hand, walking quickly into the hall with seven-star steps.  Looking around, he finally stared at a simple porcelain vase in the closet. He immediately turned the prayer beads in his hand rapidly, recited a magic spell secretly, and pointed at it from a distance.The porcelain bottle shouted: "You monster, why don't you show up yet?"

    Yang Youxuan looked at the porcelain cake, and saw a cloud of black air spreading out from the porcelain bottle. What looked like a human monster was lying on the ground. The old monk struck it away with a staff.  Just before the stick was struck, the monster shouted at Yang Youxuan: "Save me¡ª¡ª".  However, the magic staff was as powerful as lightning, and the monster was immediately killed under the staff, turning into a burst of green smoke and drifting away with the wind.

    When the old monk heard the monster's cry for help before his death, he was shocked and thought to himself: "Is it possible that there is a more powerful monster here?" Then he turned his eyes to Yang Youxuan. After looking at it for a long time, he didn't feel anything was wrong, so he gave up in frustration.  .

    Yang Youxuan had never seen such a monster before, and he was shocked. At this moment, the monster's death glance made him feel hairy all over his body. When he recalled that thunderstorm night, he felt that it couldn't be as simple as a hallucination.

    After the crowd dispersed, Yang Youxuan walked towards the old monk, bowed and asked, "May I ask Master, what kind of monster is this monster? Where does it come from?"

    The old monk looked dissatisfied and said: "This is just a wandering spirit. I don't know where it comes from. There are many in the world."

    Yang Youxuan was startled again, and secretly thought that he might have encountered these wandering ghosts that night, right?  Then he suddenly said: "Master, what was the sentence that the monster screamed before it died? May I ask what the sequel is?"

    At this time, the old monk was startled. He looked at Yang Youxuan with a little surprise, bowed and asked, "May I ask if the donor just saw the poor monk catching the monster with your own eyes? And saw the appearance of the monster?"

    Yang Youxuan felt very strange and thought to himself that so many people were watching at that time. Didn¡¯t they all see it?  He said: "I saw the master's power with my own eyes. I saw the monster fly out of the porcelain bottle and was killed by the master's staff. It immediately turned into blue smoke and went away with the wind. Everyone in the audience outside the door could see it. I don't know why the master had it.  This question?"

    The old monk bowed apologetically and said: "It turns out that the benefactor is very discerning To be honest with the benefactor, no one in the audience outside the door could see the real spirit of the monster just now. They just thought that the poor monk was a charlatan who cheated food and drink.  Many monks are negligent, but I hope the donors will not blame them."

    Yang Youxuanqi said: "It's easy to say. Does the master mean that only I and the master were able to see the monster's true spirit just now, but no one outside the door saw it?"

    The old monk said: "That's exactly it."

    Yang Youxuan had a puzzled look on his face and asked: "Then why can I see this monster but others can't? Master, can you make it clear?"

    The great monk raised his right palm, proclaimed the Buddha's name, and said: "No one can know everything about the world, and even a poor monk has no way of knowing it. As for the benefactor having this power, it is still unclear whether it is a blessing or a disaster. Look at the benefactor.  According to his horoscope, he must be someone who is destined to be my Buddha. If the donor wants to join Buddhism in the future, the poor monk may be able to make a recommendation. It¡¯s time for the poor monk to say goodbye. Take care of the donor, Amitabha~!"

    Yang Youxuan seemed thoughtful, took a quick step forward and said, "Master, please walk slowly. May I ask your master's name and where he lives?"

    The old monk didn't look back and walked forward quickly, leaving only one sentence that came from afar: "The poor monk's name is Jieren. If the donor wants to convert to my Buddha in the future, he can go to the Zhulin Temple in Shuangtuoshan to the east to find me."

    Time passed little by little, and Yang Youxuan, like other people, was repeating what he did yesterday every day. The only difference was that in a few days, he would be a father.

    Feng Ruyan was extremely excited at the moment, along with tension and happiness. After all, only she could know the feeling of being pregnant in ten months.

    When it came time for his wife to give birth, Yang Youxuan still felt that it was too sudden and he was so busy boiling water and washing towels.  Feng Ruyan was in agony in the delivery room, moaning constantly, accepting the difficult transformation from woman to mother.

    Just now, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, but after a while, the sky suddenly darkened.  Yang Youxuan was just wondering when he saw that the sun had disappeared.  "The Tengu is eating the sun, the sky is going to fall -" Suddenly there was a mixture of crying, cursing, and shouting, and soon there was no one on the street.  Yang Youxuan looked at the bits of sun in the sky that had been eaten by the Tengu, and shook his head, secretly cursing that the Tengu was too unrealistic. He didn't know whether he was worried about the chaos in the world or about the child who was about to be born.

    Just when the sun had only the outermost ring of light left, the child was born.

    The baby's powerful "wow" cry made Yang Youxuan stunned for a moment. Then he jumped and laughed like crazy, muttering incessantly. Then he quickly walked into the room and saw the midwife holding the baby.  After soothing her, she saw that Feng Ruyan's previously rosy face was now as white as a piece of paper, and she was so angry that Yang Youxuan just felt distressed, but didn't know which one to hug first, and stood there blankly.  Until the midwife came forward and asked: "My lord, I am a young master."

    Yang Youxuan then realized what he was doing, stepped forward, and gently picked up the child, lifted up the wrapping and took a look, and then hurriedly picked up the child.Wrapping it up tightly, she carefully looked at the child from head to toe, then carried the child to Feng Ruyan's bedside and laughed out loud: "Yan'er, our son, I'm a father, -  ¡ª¡ªI'm a father, haha, I'm a father¡ª¡ª." Feng Ruyan was unable to speak, she looked at her son and then fell asleep.

    The next day, the small county town was abuzz with the birth of the Yang family boy, and everyone used various excuses to go to Yang Youxuan's house to see the child.  It's not that they haven't seen anyone giving birth to a child, but that there is a sign from the sky when the child is born, so the people also want to have fun and like to talk about weird things to prepare for future conversation.

    For several days in a row, Yang Youxuan did the same thing, which was to keep repeating to his neighbors and friends that his child was a normal person, no different from other children.  The so-called heavenly sign that appeared yesterday was just a coincidence.  ,

    Fortunately, the people are the people after all, and they are always kind. After almost a month, the storm was finally calmed down.

    The child was almost one month old, and Yang Youxuan had finally survived the storm, but now he became sad again.  The full-moon wine must be held, and of course you must give your children something so that they can grow up safely. Parents all over the world also have such thoughts.  At this time, Yang Youxuan's mind came back to the figure of the monk who performed the ritual at Huang Yuan's house that day. He was like a god. It would be great if he could draw a peace charm.  Thinking of this, Yang Youxuan was overjoyed. He quickly settled down with his family, packed his bags, took a leave from the Yamen, and headed to Shuangtuo Mountain.

    Shuangtuo Mountain is well-known to everyone in Tai County, not because it is a famous mountain and holy place, but because it still maintains the appearance of a virgin forest and is rarely visited all year round.  Although there are countless rare and exotic animals in the mountains, no one is willing to enter them because of the complex terrain.  These are also things Yang Youxuan understands.  Unfortunately, the residences of experts are all so weird and dangerous, otherwise they would be called experts in vain.

    Yang Youxuan saw that the mountain was so high that it could reach into the clouds, and it was not so easy to find someone. He saw that there were several households at the foot of the mountain, but they were hunters. He saw that one household had smoke from the cooking pot. There must be someone there, so he walked closer.  He knocked on the door and asked, "Is anyone home?"

    There was just a clang, and then someone came to open the door.

    As soon as the door opened, it was a young hunter with bright-colored fur. It was obvious that he had just hunted a fine bear skin.  Orion looked at Yang Youxuan, then at the official sword on Yang Youxuan's waist, and asked: "I wonder if you are here to find someone or -?"

    Yang Youxuan saw that this hunter was polite to others and seemed to have a unique temperament. He was neither humble nor overbearing. He was very decent and different from ordinary hunters. He said, "I am the head catcher of Tai County. I need to go to Shuangtuo Mountain to find a friend because of something. I don't want it to be late."  , I wonder if I can stay at my brother¡¯s house for one night?¡±

    When Orion heard this, he smiled and said: "I have never heard of anyone living in Shuangtuo Mountain. There are empty rooms, as long as this eldest brother doesn't dislike it. Please come in." After saying that, he let Yang Youxuan into the room.

    This Orion¡¯s home seems to be very tidy. Although there are not many furniture furnishings, it is well laid out and looks very comfortable.  The house is built with a mixture of bamboo and wood and is very strong.

    Orion took the teapot, brewed two cups of tea, gave one to Yang Youxuan, sat down, and asked, "I wonder what your surname is, this eldest brother?"

    Yang Youxuan took the teacup, took a sip carefully and said, "My surname is Yang, but I don't know what your surname is?"

    Orion smiled and said: "What's expensive? My surname is Yu, my name is Guantang." After that, he loudly said to the kitchen inside: "Hongye, there is a guest at home, please cook more food."

    Yang Youxuan heard a reply from the inner room, saw a woman looking inside, and asked in a low voice: "I wonder who is the one in brother Yu's house?"

    Yu Guantang said: "Oh, that's my wife. They are all villagers in the mountains and have no exposure to the world."

    Yang Youxuan said: "Oh? In that case, it would be inconvenient for me to stay overnight with you. Why don't I go stay overnight at the house next door. I wonder if Brother Yu is familiar with the neighbors?" After that, he got up and left.

    Yu Guantang quickly stood up and grabbed Yang Youxuan and said, "What's the inconvenience? Brother Yang, don't worry, if it was really an inconvenience, I wouldn't have let you in just now. Besides, none of the neighbors were at home, and there was no one there. Yang  Brother, you should just drink tea and rest here peacefully."

    Yang was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "In this case, it would be rude if I continue to be wordy. Well, I won't bother my brother anymore."

    Yu Guantang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "They will not come back for five or six days after they go up the mountain. In these few days, I can't sit still and want to go up the mountain to have a look. But my wife is pregnant and needs my care."  , I can¡¯t go. It¡¯s just a good time to talk and keep company with Brother Yang tonight, so as to relieve our fatigue.¡±

    Yang Youxuan smiled, responded, and asked: "Brother Yu, I wonder what kind of tea this is? It's sweet and refreshing, but it also has a?The bitterness returns, and this is the first time I have tasted such a good tea.  "

    Yu Guantang smiled and said while wiping the table: "I made this tea myself, and I don't know the world. It is fried with wild tea leaves collected on Shuangtuo Mountain. The taste is quite good. But if you want to say it is top-grade, brother  The fruit wine I brewed will definitely satisfy Brother Yang." After saying that, he smiled and went to the kitchen inside, bringing out four plates of food and a jar of wine.  In an instant, the whole room was filled with the aroma of meat and wine.

    A young woman walked out following Yu Guantang. She was Yu Guantang¡¯s wife, the one she called Hongye.  I saw this woman with crescent-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes. She was wearing a loose leather jacket. Apart from her protruding belly, she was still a beauty.

    Yang Youxuan looked at it and praised: "My brothers and sisters are so good-looking, and their cooking skills must be good. I never thought that Brother Yu would be so lucky. Brother Yu will also be a father soon, hahaha."

    Yu Guantang pulled Hongye to sit down and said with a smile: "Where is it? Madam-in-law must be very popular with Brother Yang. I wonder if Brother Yang is a young man or a girl?"

    Yang Youxuan was embarrassed and said: "Brother, please don't laugh at me, the eldest brother. My wife is quite up to date. She gave me a son in her first pregnancy. He is not yet one month old. This time I go up the mountain to find an expert."  , asking for a talisman to come back.¡±

    Yu Guantang raised the jar of wine and opened the mud seal. The aroma of the wine suddenly became stronger.

    Yang Youxuan was surprised and said: "It turns out that it hasn't been opened yet. I smelled the aroma of wine just now and I thought that this wine has a lot of background. I didn't expect that the aroma of wine could be so powerful and passed through the seal."

    Hongye listened to the two talking and smiled: "That's natural. I'm afraid he is the only one in the world who can make wine as good as him. Brother Yang will have to drink a few more glasses today." He took the wine jar.  Pour wine for them both.

    Yu Guantang said: "It's not that powerful, it's just that the materials are a bit special."

    Yang Youxuan said curiously: "I wonder what materials can make such good wine?"

    Yu Guantang shook his head and said proudly: "This wine is called Baiguo Niang. Although there are not hundreds of varieties, it is not much different. There are only a few common ones, and the rest were picked by me on Shuangtuo Mountain.  , I brewed dozens of jars randomly, but I didn¡¯t expect it tasted so good.¡±

    Yang Youxuan picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. A strong aroma lingered in his throat. It was sweet and fresh, then spicy, and then there was a fire in his stomach, steaming.  At the end, there is still a hint of bitterness lingering on the back of the tongue.  He couldn't help but praise: "Good wine, good wine. I'm afraid that after today, if I drink another wine, it will be like white water, without any taste."

    Yu Guantang laughed loudly and said: "Brother Yang, don't worry, I will give you a few more jars tomorrow. If you want to drink in the future, just come. Brother, I will be the host. I guarantee that Brother Yang will drink enough."  "

    After talking and laughing for a while, the two of them got to know each other quite a bit.

    During the conversation, Yu Guantang suddenly remembered that Yang Youxuan was going to Shuangtuo Mountain. He couldn't help being curious and asked: "Brother Yang, I just heard that you said that you wanted to go to Shuangtuo Mountain to find an expert?"

    Yang Youxuan put down the wine bowl and said: "Exactly. But I haven't been here yet, and I don't know where the master I'm looking for lives. These two piggyback mountains are really quite big, and it's really a troublesome thing.  "

    Yu Guantang frowned and thought for a while, then said: "I and several other hunters also hunted on the border of Shuangtuo Mountain and did not dare to go deep. There were many poisonous insects, snakes and ants in the forest, but we never saw anyone coming or going. Brother Yang should  You won¡¯t remember the wrong place, right?¡±

    Yang Youxuan was stunned for a while and thought to himself that he had made a mistake. After calming down and thinking about it, he found that he was right.  He said, "The one I'm looking for is a great monk. He once said he wanted me to come to Shuangtuo Mountain to look for him, but he didn't leave an exact address. I'll go up the mountain tomorrow to see what's going on."

    Yu Guantang advised: "Brother Yang, you can't do this. Although the mountain is not high, it may be difficult for people to live there. What's more, I heard from some of my neighbors that these two piggyback mountains have not been peaceful recently. They came here for no reason.  There is a group of big wolves, but no one dares to hunt them. If we kill one of these wolves, we will definitely suffer the revenge of the entire wolf pack. So my neighbors are careful and slow down their travels, which is why it takes so many days.  Only then can we go back and forth.¡±

    Yang Youxuan smiled, but his heart started to tremble, and he said: "I, Yang Youxuan, can't fly over walls and fly over walls, but climbing a tree is no problem, right? If I meet a wolf, I will climb up the tree with a chirp and see how this wolf cub eats me."  .¡±

    Yu Guantang also smiled and said: "That wolf is very smart. If they see Brother Yang climbing up the tree, they will definitely surround the tree. When Brother Yang is so hungry that you are dizzy, your limbs are weak, and you fall down with a plop,  I just came here to eat you."

    Yang Youxuan picked up the wine and drank it down in one gulp. He suddenly felt heroic and said with a smile: "If this is really the case, then it is my destiny to be like this, Yang Youxuan."

      Yu Guantang said seriously: "This is impossible. If Brother Yang really wants to go, how about I accompany you? I should at least be familiar with this mountain, so as to avoid encountering too many wolves."

    Yang Youxuan thanked you and said, "Brother, I don't have to worry about you anymore. My brother and sister are pregnant. Brother, you should take good care of your brother and sister at home. If something goes wrong, I can't afford it."

    Yu Guantang waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter. Brother Xie and the others should be able to come back later tomorrow. They will be there by then. If anything happens, just call Hongye and they will come to help. Brother Yang, on the other hand,  Even if you go to see the mountains and woods and don¡¯t plan to go in, it¡¯s best to have someone accompany you.¡±

    Yang Youxuan was about to refuse, but Hongye stopped him and said, "Brother Yang, just let him accompany you. What will happen if I just stay at home? As for him, after staying at home for a few days, he can't sit still for a long time."  Stay here, I'm afraid he just wants to go out for a walk."

    Yang Youxuan laughed loudly when he heard this, looked at Yu Guantang and said, "Well, in that case, I can't thank you enough for my brother."

    But Yu Guantang looked innocent and said: "Who said I can't sit still? In fact, I also have some selfish intentions. It doesn't take long for Hongye to give birth. If Brother Yang and I really find that expert  , thanks to the glory of Brother Yang, I also ask for a talisman."

    Yang Youxuan laughed loudly after hearing this and said: "This is easy to say."

    The next day, it was still early, with calm clouds and light wind, but it was a good weather.

    The two of them packed their dry food and walked along the road to the outskirts of Shuangtuo Mountain.  I saw that this mountain has rugged rocks and tangled vegetation. There are towering giant trees above and lush green grass below. However, it is an area that is rarely visited by people.

    Yu Guantang led the way, but he didn't encounter any poisonous insects or beasts along the way. There were only hares in the forest, chickens jumping by from time to time, and occasionally a bird song could be heard.

    Yang Youxuan asked: "Brother Yu, where is this part of Shuangtuo Mountain?"

    Yu Guantang whispered without looking back: "The two Tuo Mountains are divided into Qian Tuo Mountain and Hou Tuo Mountain. We are now on Qian Tuo Mountain. In the past, Qian Tuo Mountain was not afraid of anything, and there were no big beasts.  Now it¡¯s that pack of wolves that always appears at the junction of the front and back Tuo Mountains. Fortunately, we never enter the Houtuo Mountains and only move around the front Tuo Mountains, so it¡¯s pretty safe.¡±

    Yang Youxuan thought for a while and asked: "So, the monk I am looking for must not be here to carry the mountain?"

    Yu Guantang turned around and said, "Maybe that's the case, but now that we've come to Qiantuo Mountain, if Brother Yang has nothing urgent to do, why not stay in the mountain for one night to have some fun?"

    Yang Youxuan was disappointed for a while after hearing this, but then smiled and said: "It's nothing urgent. It's not a big deal to stay in the mountains for one night. I'm just sorry that I didn't bring any drinks this morning."

    Yu Guantang laughed heartily, patted the baggage on his back and said, "Brother, how do you know I didn't bring some water and wine? It would be great to hunt some game in the evening and roast it to eat."

    Yang Youxuan suddenly realized it and said: "Brother Yu, you have already had an idea, haha, well, what's the harm in just staying for one night."

    In the evening, the two of them searched for the whole day but found nothing, but they did catch a lot of game.  Yu Guantang saw that the sky was getting dark and said: "Brother Yang, there is still more than half of this mountain to be found. Let's rest for the night and wait until tomorrow to search again."

    Yang Youxuan nodded and said: "I originally wanted to go up the mountain today to have a look at the terrain. If it's hard to find it, I'll go back. In this case, I'll stay with my brother tonight and go down the mountain tomorrow to find some.  "

    Yu Guantang said: "It's okay. Brother is not used to living in the mountains. It's okay to go back as soon as possible so that my sister-in-law won't worry about it. Fortunately, we come here often and are familiar with it. No, there is a cave not far ahead. We  I used to rest there at night when I was hunting.¡±

    Yang Youxuan looked in the direction of Yu Guantang's finger, and sure enough he saw a cave that was as tall as a person. It was surrounded by weeds and was a bit dirty. It didn't matter, but it was dark and scary.  Fortunately, I am not afraid even if I have fire folds on my body.

    After a while, the two came to the cave, but it was dirty.

    Yu Guantang said with a smile: "Every time we come, this place will be occupied by some animals, so we will drive them out, haha. When we leave, this place will be returned to them. But every time we come, the animals inside  The masters are all different, I don¡¯t know who the master here is this time.¡±

    Yang Youxuan looked inside. It was so dark and dirty that he couldn't see to the end. He couldn't help but feel anxious and asked: "Brother Yu, is there some ferocious beast here?"

    Yu Guantang shook his head and said with a smile: "Where is it? There are no powerful things in Qiantuo Mountain, they are all the kind that run away when they see people."

    Yang is out of breath againHe said in a tone: "That's good, that's good."

    Yu Guantang also looked around and listened for a while, but there was no movement. He said, "Brother Yang, please wait for a while while I get a torch."

    Yang Youxuan looked at the surrounding environment, but there was nothing strange about it, and said, "Let's do this. Brother Yu, you go get a torch, and I'll just pick up some dry firewood nearby."

    After Yu Guantang finished making the torch, Yang Youxuan also picked up about a hundred kilograms of firewood, but the long knife was blunted a lot.

    Then the two of them lit torches, picked up their long knives, and walked into the cave together.  I saw that the cave was full of animal excrement, and the stench was unpleasant. I wondered how anyone could live here, but when I looked again, I couldn't tell that anyone had lived here.

    Yang Youxuan asked as he walked: "Brother Yu, didn't you say that several of your neighbors have come up the mountain a long time ago? Why can't you see that anyone has lived in this cave? It still smells so bad, how can it be lived in?"

    Yu Guantang pointed to a pile of black things in the corner and said: "Look, that's where we made a fire before, and there were still ashes. They went to another place this time, a cave like this, this Qiantuo Mountain  There are still about ten of them, that is, they just live in a nearby cave. How can we live in a cave every day? We are in a hurry. The smell doesn¡¯t matter, once a fire is lit, the smell will be gone.¡±

    While they were talking, the two of them suddenly heard a sudden strange noise deep in the cave, and saw something burst out with electricity. Yang Youxuan suddenly shouted: "Be careful." Then he took a step back, leaned against the cave wall, and held the knife in front of his chest.

    But Yu Guantang was just stunned for a moment, burst out laughing, and said: "Brother Yang, there is no need to be nervous, this is just a small beast. It's a pity that I didn't see clearly what kind of beast it was. Let's go and take a look inside."  "

    Yang Youxuan said "Oh", relaxed, and quickly followed.  His face turned crimson, but fortunately the torch light was cloudy and he couldn't see clearly.

    As he was walking, Yu Guantang stopped and shouted: "Not good."

    Yang Youxuan immediately became nervous. He stepped forward and saw a dead wolf cub. He asked, "Why is there such a wolf cub? Could it be that the one that ran away just now was just a female wolf?"

    Yu Guantang was about to speak when he heard a wolf howl outside the cave. Immediately, the mountains echoed, the wolf howled continuously, and it felt like it was getting closer and closer.  So he quickly shouted: "I'm afraid that's the case, brother, hurry up." As he spoke, he pulled Yang Youxuan and quickly escaped from the cave.

    The two came out of the cave, measured the wind direction, and quickly fled downwind, so that the wolves could follow them slower and give them more time to escape from the wolf's mouth.

    However, things went against their expectations. After running for more than ten miles, the two of them fell over a cliff. It seemed to have risen out of the ground. It was extremely smooth. It was not easy to climb, but the wolves behind them were chasing after them.  Seeing the wolves following him, Yang Xuan was careless, anxious and angry, and said to himself: "I didn't expect that I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a father, and I will die in the belly of a wolf today. God will treat me like this. Why?"  It will hurt others. Brother, if there is a chance later, you will take the opportunity to leave and ignore me. If there is no chance, you and I will die here together. In the next life, I will be treated as livestock to repay you."

    Yu Guantang said angrily: "Brother Yang, what are you talking about? What if I, Yu Guantang, am a cowardly person who lives in vain? I'm going to say this to Brother Yang today. If I want to escape, I can't accompany him."  Once he dies, he is a bastard."

    Yang Youxuan was so worried that he was sweating profusely, and quickly explained: "I don't mean that. Brother Yu, hey, I have really hurt my brother. If you have any shortcomings, brother Yu, who can you ask your brothers and sisters to rely on? Yang is so  The crime is too great."

    Yu Guantang was stunned for a moment, silent, obviously worried that no one would take care of his wife at home, as well as the unborn child.

    Yang Youxuan patted Yu Guantang on the shoulder and said: "Yang also knows that brothers value affection and righteousness. He is a man. Yesterday he met his brother. When he saw that he had extraordinary conversation and extensive knowledge, he knew that he was the queen of a famous family. Obstruction and privacy  , Yang didn¡¯t dare to ask any more questions. Even if Yang spells out his name today, he can¡¯t make things easier for these beasts. I¡¯ll lure the wolves away later, brother, it¡¯s only right that you take the opportunity to leave early, don¡¯t look back.¡±

    Yu Guantang paused for a moment and suddenly said: "Brother Yang, you and I are very close to each other. How about we become brothers today?"

    Yang Youxuan was stunned for a while, and after a moment he said happily: "That's fine, but without money for incense candles and paper, Yang is still reaching a high level."

    After saying that, Yang Youxuan and Yu Guantang knelt together in front of the stone wall, grabbed a few branches, and said in unison: "The yellow sky is above, the thick soil is below. Today I, Yang Youxuan (Yu Guantang) and Yu Guantang (Yang Youxuan)  As brothers with different surnames, we will share blessings and share hardships in the future. If there is any violation, this will be the case." After saying this, he used both hands to split the branches into two.

    After the two of them saluted, they stood up and looked at each other and smiled.

    Yang Youxuan said:?According to age, how many years older I am than you, I will just tell you to go to jail.  "

    Yu Guantang nodded and said, "That's right. Brother."

    After Yang Youxuan heard this, he laughed loudly: "That's very good." He turned around and saw that the wolves were already about twenty feet away. He drew out his long knife and held it across his chest. He pulled Yu Guantang behind him, but kept talking.  He said: "Guan Tang, I'm dragging them, do as I just said, you be careful." After saying that, he was about to rush towards the wolves.

    Hearing the sound of steel behind him, Yang Youxuan turned around and saw that it was Yu Guantang who also drew out his long sword and stood with it in hand.

    Yang Youxuan was puzzled and said: "Guantang, what are you doing?"

    Yu Guantang looked at Yang Youxuan, then at the knife in his hand, and said: "Brother, have you forgotten what you said when we swore our vows just now? Since we are brothers, there is no reason for you, eldest brother, to be in danger alone while I, my younger brother, are alone.  Stay alive. Big brother, please stay back. Let's stick to this stone wall to avoid being attacked from behind. If we just talk about sword skills, I think I'm no worse than the big brother. We brothers join hands today and it's worth dying together."

    Yang Youxuan felt a rush of heat rushing to his forehead, and his vision blurred uncontrollably.  He looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "Okay, I am really honored to die with you Guantang." After that, he walked to the stone wall and stood with his back to Yu Guantang.

    I saw more and more wolves, but they were strangely tight. They only surrounded the two of them, but they didn't come forward to bite them. When they got to a place about ten feet away from the two of them, they sat down, not knowing whether they saw the two of them back.  Standing sideways, fearful of having a long knife in hand, or some other reason.

    After a while, Yang Youxuan saw that the wolves did not attack, and his heart gradually relaxed, but he heard Yu Guantang say: "Brother, don't take it lightly. These wolf cubs pretend to be careless at first. If the prey is even slightly relaxed, they will  Violent and injured."

    Yang Youxuan immediately did not dare to let down his guard at all, but he also secretly asked: "Then how long will it take to wait like this?" It seems that he is still expecting the moment of killing to come soon. After all, such an atmosphere can easily make people collapse.

    The two men were facing each other for an hour, and the sky was getting darker. There were stars on the treetops in the moonlight, and there was a cool breeze in the mountains. It was a beautiful scene.  However, the two of them were not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery at the moment. Not only were they hungry, but they were also sweating profusely.  The tense atmosphere made the two of them sweat profusely, and their backs were already soaked through.

    But the wolves were still motionless, except for the flashing wolf eyes and howling one after another, but there was no fierce attack like the two people imagined.

    But Yu Guantang couldn't help it anymore and said in a low voice: "Brother, something is a little strange today. I heard in the past that once the wolves encounter prey, they always attack in groups. Why are these wolf cubs attacking you and me today?"  People are surrounding us but they don¡¯t come to eat. Doesn¡¯t it mean that we are disgusted with the stinking sweat of you and me?¡±

    Yang Youxuan was also beating a drum in his heart. At this moment, when he heard Yu Guantang's words, he burst out laughing. He quickly held back and said: "You still want to joke at this moment? But it's really strange to say it. If they don't want to eat you and me,  You two, what¡¯s the point of surrounding us?¡±

    Yu Guantang, however, suddenly took a step forward and shouted at the wolves: "A bunch of beasts, kill them if you want. What tricks are you playing?"

    I saw a commotion among the wolves, and then calmness returned again, but they still did not attack.

    Seeing that the wolves did not respond, Yang Youxuan boldly stepped forward and said: "Dear wolf brothers, if you have no intention of harming my two brothers, please leave quickly and don't hinder my journey."

    After saying that, there was another commotion among the wolves, and then the wolves howled continuously and slowly left, as if someone was conducting a military parade and it was very orderly.

    In a moment, all the wolves were gone. The two of them were overjoyed and felt relaxed. Only then did they realize that their whole bodies were sore and numb. Without paying attention, they both collapsed to the ground.
