One night passed, and when Lan Qiao opened his eyes again, what he saw was the sky full of sunset.

The rolling clouds in the sky, illuminated by the fiery red sunset, turn into brilliant colors of gold, orange, red, or purple. The magnificent scene of intertwined light and dark makes the Blue Bridge feel like entering another dreamland.

In a daze, he and Bai Xueyin seemed to be dancing with swords on the Liuxiantai of Tianlian Peak. Bai Xueyin stepped on the vast sea of ​​clouds, and she looked like a fairy on the Nine Heavens Qiong Tower. The scene changed, and Yueyang City at dusk appeared in the sky.

In front of him, Li Jingshu walked beside him in a charming way, the bells at the end of her hair making a clear and sweet sound. The scene changed again, and he came to the bank of Shandan River in Hexi again, where Ling Yufei was holding the unconscious Li Zhuer.

, walked into the dazzling glow.

"You're awake?" Feng Yeling poked her head out from the side with concern, her soft hair hanging on Lan Qiao's neck, tickling.

"How long have I been sleeping?" Lan Qiao, whose throat was so dry that it was almost smoking, sat up suddenly and said, "Where are we?"

Feng Yeling handed him a water bag, unplugged it and said, "Drink some water, this water is a bit sweet."

Lanqiao drank a few sips and then realized that he was at the bottom of a canyon. The canyon ran north-south, with the valley road to the north sloping slightly to the west. The cliffs on both sides were dense black basalts, dozens of feet high.

, each one is in the shape of a thick hexagon, inserted like a sword, it is extremely spectacular, making people marvel at the uncanny craftsmanship of nature, but also can't help but feel an inexplicable chill.

The bottom of the valley is a grassland more than three inches long, with a few large trees here and there. Because of the cold weather, everything you look at is yellow. A small stream flows out from a crack in the cliff on the west side, gurgling through the grass and winding

Go north.

Langya Army soldiers were in groups, sitting on the grass to rest, nibbling a few mouthfuls of dry food, or chatting a few household chores, while the war horses gathered by the stream, greedily chewing dry grass and drinking the sweet stream water.

"We escaped from Zhuangjia Village last night. We traveled all night, climbed over an unknown mountain peak, and walked more than a hundred miles of mountain roads before we arrived here half an hour ago." Feng Yeling sat quietly aside.

, explained: "Both this place and Zhuangjia Village belong to the Heitie Mountain Area. My brother asked the hunters nearby and said that this place is called Heishi Gorge. As long as you cross this gorge, you can reach the south bank of the Huaihe River."

"Then why do you stop here? Is it because you are too tired to walk or the road ahead is difficult?" Lan Qiao looked around the surrounding environment and said, "I always feel that this is a dangerous place."

"You are right on both counts." Feng Yeling said with a wry smile, "Because of the rains in the past few days, the accumulated water poured into the valley. The canyon to the north is full of mud. If the horse's legs step on it, it will not be able to pull it out. It must be used.

Only branches or gravel can be used to pave the way. But we didn't get a good rest last night. We have been traveling day and night, and we are really tired, both people and horses."

Lan Qiao looked at the valley road to the north, and sure enough he saw many Langya Army soldiers standing in the muddy grass, laboriously cutting down trees or carrying stones to pave the way for the army that was heading north.

Feng Yeling followed his gaze and continued: "My brother sent a scout to look at it. The scout spent an hour before he came back and said that this silt valley road is more than ten miles long. Even if we all invest in paving the road,

It would take three or four hours to finish the job. However, everyone was already tired, and Lan Zuwang didn't know when he would catch up. He had to maintain his fighting strength, so my brother asked the soldiers to take turns paving the road, each time going 150 times.

Ten people will take turns every half an hour, while the others will rest where they are."

Lan Qiao thought about his side's operation deep into the enemy's rear. He looked at the flags, swords, spears and armors lying casually on the grass, as well as the soldiers slumped on the ground listlessly. He suddenly felt a sad mood and blurted out: "

The red clouds cover the sun, and the rainbow hangs from the sky. The valley water is gurgling, and the trees are falling gracefully. A lonely bird has lost its flock, and its mournful cry is among the clouds."

"So what if we lose the flock?" Feng Yeling spread his fingers and made a gesture of an eagle catching someone, and said with a smile: "Even if we are lone birds, we are still a fearless eagle."

Seeing that Feng Yeling still maintained his confidence and fighting spirit, Lan Qiao felt moved and blamed himself: "So I slept almost all day, why didn't you wake me up earlier?"

"That's what my father ordered." Feng Yeling said nonchalantly, "He said this would help you recover from your injury."

Lan Qiao then remembered that he had been stabbed last night. When he reached out to touch it, he found that it had been bandaged.

"Does it still hurt?" Feng Yeling asked with concern.

Lan Qiao felt a warmth in his heart, shook his head and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

"I can't help it if it hurts. I'll rub it for you at most." Feng Yeling smiled slyly, and was about to ask him if he wanted to eat something when he suddenly saw Wu Yi and Xie Xuechu running towards her one after the other.

With excitement and excitement on their faces, the two people almost stumbled to Feng Yeling. When Xie Xuechu stopped, she staggered and almost hit the blue bridge.

"Why are you so reckless?" Feng Yeling scolded softly, "You are indeed young. Others are taking the time to rest, but you still have time to chase and fight."

Although Wu Yi was blamed by Feng Yeling for his youthful character, he didn't take it to heart at all. He raised his hands that were red from the cold and said, "Miss, guess what's in the crevice over there." He stretched out his hand and pointed.

Point to the crack on the cliff on the west side where the stream flows out.

"If you have something to say, guess what?" Feng Yeling scolded with a smile, "You two got in."

"There is a big waterfall there," Xie Xuechu said with his eyes shining, "Although the rock crevice is narrow, there is a cave like no other after entering. Not only is there a waterfall, but there is also a huge clump of flowers, which is very beautiful.

Sister Feng, Senior Brother Lan, let me take you to see it."

Seeing Wu Yi, Feng Yeling nodded again and again, frowned and said: "Your senior brother still needs to rest, wait for him first." Before she could finish her words, Lan Qiao patted her butt and stood up, took her hand and said with a smile:

"Let's go and have a look."

The four of them walked along the stream to the narrow rock crevice, and the rumbling sound of the water could be heard clearly. Lan Qiao stepped forward and tried, and found that he had to turn sideways to move into the rock crevice little by little. He turned to Feng Yeling and said

: "You won't be able to get in, right?"

Feng Yeling rolled her eyes at him angrily and said, "Look at what you said, I, a fair lady, will not be able to get into this."

She took off her boots, stepped into the ankle-deep stream, took a breath and said, "This water is so cold."

The four of them waded into the rock crevice and walked about twenty or thirty steps before their eyes suddenly opened up.

This is a pear-shaped space with a circumference of several hundred steps. A curtain of waterfall pours down from a rock gap more than ten feet high, forming a clear pool on the ground, and then flows along the rock gap into the canyon outside.

A clump of orchids bloomed along the water, some lavender and some pure white. The petals were moistened with clear water drops, and the fragrance of the flowers was intoxicating.

This space is not a closed mountain belly, but a deep pit with four walls that are almost straight up and down. The rays of light fall from the sky, scattering into dreamlike colorful colors in the vast mist splashed by the waterfall, and then projected onto the water pool, orchids, and the axe-cutting
