Unfortunately, the Japanese pirate boy is so powerful that no one dares to provoke him. Even if their hearts are full of hatred, they don't dare to show too much.
Xia Shang looked at the Japanese pirate boy's appearance and was quite moved in his heart.
Although this kind of pretentious performance cannot wash away the sins left by the Japanese pirates, the fact that the Japanese pirate boy can do such a thing is indeed different from other Japanese people.
Even if it's just pretentious, it's still a pretense. I believe other Japanese people would not behave like this.
After spending a long time at the foot of the mountain, the group began to enter the mountain.
Xia Shang was no stranger to the mountains and forests of Dahua, but only after entering Siyang Mountain did Xia Shang understand what rugged mountains are.
There is no mountain road at all. The stones are like huge knives thrust into the soil. The mountains rise and fall suddenly, and there are deep valleys and ravines everywhere. It is very difficult for even Xia and Shang to travel in such mountains, let alone ordinary people.
.
Women like Jizi and sick people like Yu Qing need to be carried all the way up the mountain.
I heard from an old Taoist that the reason why Siyang Mountain is called Siyang Mountain is that there are four dangerous peaks on the mountain, which are called Yiyang Peak, Eryang Peak, Sanyang Peak and Wanghai Peak.
The heights of the mountain peaks go down from here, and the strange dangers go down one by one.
Wanghai Peak is a relatively gentle peak among the four peaks, but it is also very dangerous. Even mountain monkeys do not dare to play on the top of the peak.
Wanghaifeng is like this, let alone the Yiyang, Eryang, and Sanyang peaks above it. It is said that no one has ever been up there, and no one knows what the scenery is like above.
The origin of Siyang Mountain is that if someone stands on Wanghai Peak to watch the sunrise, at a specific angle, the sunlight will be reflected somehow and magically leave shadows on the other three peaks.
One sun and three sun shadows form a very wonderful scene of four suns, hence the name Siyang Mountain.
But this story is just a legend. No one has ever seen such a wonder. Even the old Taoist who has stayed at Qingshui Temple on Wanghaifeng for fifty years has never seen it once.
However, the old Taoist said that it is true to see the sea hundreds of miles away from Wanghai Peak, and it is also a very wonderful sight.
On the way up the mountain, the old Taoist told everyone the legend of Siyang Mountain, making everyone yearn for it.
Jizi on the back asked softly: "Xia, do you like watching the sunrise?"
"like."
"We must go and have a look. Maybe we can see the wonder of the four suns that the old gentleman said."
…
It took another half day to go up the mountain. When we reached Wanghaifeng, the mountain became even steeper. There was almost no trace of human beings in the surroundings. It was as if we were in a world completely isolated from the secular world.
The isolation here is different from the isolation in Zhaori Mountain. The isolation in Zhaori Mountain is an unreal feeling with a fairy spirit, while here is a completely primitive mountain forest.
Seeing that dusk was approaching, Lu Lu could no longer bear the burden of carrying her senior brother on her back: "Master, how long until we arrive? This is really difficult to leave."
"It's here, it's here!"
"Are we there? Where are we?" Lu Lu frowned and looked at the lush greenery above. She could only hear the rustling sounds of birds and animals, and a little bit of the sound of spring water flowing...
But the old Taoist opened a few huge banana leaves in front of him, and his eyes suddenly became enlightened.
This is a small dojo platform, already covered with green grass. The bluestone on the ground has been scattered by the stubborn flowers and plants. In the distance, there is a stone tablet inscribed with Qingquan Temple, which is covered with tree vines.
Covered with moss.
Further away is an old Taoist temple main building, with two floors, very simple, but also very regular.
But it's obviously been there for some time. The upstairs is covered with traces of time. You can clearly see a lot of damage and a thick layer of dust. It's unclear how long it's been since anyone came here.
A huge banyan tree seemed to have been struck by lightning. Half of its trunk fell sideways against the small building. Many tiles on the building fell off, and it felt like it might be crushed by the tree at any time.
Seeing this scene, the old Taoist jumped out of the forest, hurried to the platform, looked around the half-fallen tree, and then bowed to the roots of the tree: "God bless, God bless, please don't destroy your ancestors."
Master’s reputation has been blown away.”
By this time, a group of people behind had also arrived on the platform.
Lu Lu and Yu Qing were the recent disciples of the old Taoist. Neither of them had been here before. They were very curious, so Lu Lu ran to the inner courtyard behind the main building with her senior brother on her back.
04 looked at all this indifferently, closed his eyes as if recalling the route he took when he came, and after thinking for a few seconds, he came to Yoshiko: "Miss, please come down with me."
Yoshiko follows 04
Went to one side and didn't know what to say.
Xia Shangze came to Lao Dao and looked at the banyan tree that had been struck down by lightning at some point, and helped Lao Dao check it.
After looking around, Xia Shang said to Lao Dao: "Don't worry, it's just leaning against the building, not crushing it. As long as it is no longer struck by lightning, it won't collapse."
The old Taoist was still bowing to the sky, looking very pious.
Seeing that the old Taoist ignored him, Xia Shang thought for a moment and said, "Taoist Master, is this useful?"
"Why is it useless? This mountain is connected to heaven and earth. God is always listening to what we say. Don't believe it!"
"Who says I don't believe it? I have always believed it! Believing in Taoist Master is not as unreliable as it seems on the surface."
"My little friend is still discerning, unlike my two stupid apprentices who don't believe anything they say."
"If Taoist Priest is so capable, why is he hiding in the deep mountains and old forests during this national crisis? I heard that your two apprentices want to kill Japanese pirates in Xuzhou. Hasn't Taoist Priest even thought about eliminating harm for the people?"
"Little friend, what nonsense are you talking about? How old am I, the old man? Where can I kill Japanese pirates? It's okay to let the old man sit in a few French games, but he wouldn't dare to fight. Thanks to meeting my little friend.
, let my two ignorant little apprentices know how powerful the Japanese pirates are, otherwise they will not come back with me."
"The Taoist Priest's skills are not limited to just doing some French. The young man's injuries are not serious. The Taoist Priest was able to help him stop the bleeding without borrowing any medicine... This medical skill is quite extraordinary... Also, we
All the way to this place, Taoist Master at this age can actually keep his face unchanged and his breath unchanged, this ability is extraordinary!"
The old Taoist smiled and twirled his beard with a complacent look: "How can I say that my friend has good taste? Only my friend can see these skills, but my two apprentices can't see through them."
"Taoist Priest, I still say the same thing. The world is in chaos right before your eyes. Don't you want to do something?"
"Why do you want me to do this? I've already lost my life this time by taking in this disaster star like you, so you want me to risk my life?"
"Disaster star?" Xia Shang frowned and pointed at himself, "Me?"
The old Taoist said angrily: "Who else could it be if it wasn't you?"
"The Taoist priest is so sure. I guess he already knows the certain number. Why don't you tell me something more to the juniors?"
