There are two roads from the boundary of Pucheng to Heming Mountain in Anshun Prefecture. One is a waterway, which is a bit far away, but it is more leisurely and free from the hardships of carriages and horses. As long as you are willing to spend money to buy a wine boat every day, there are
The scenery of the lake and the pretty boat girls...
The other is the land route, which goes directly through the state and county, taking the shortest route, but the journey is more difficult. One or two days is fine, but few people can persist after a long time. Travel also requires experience and skills, and it is not something you can do all at once.
It can be solved by running hard, but you also have to consider where to rest, where to hit the tip, the horse's endurance, and the wind and rain along the way, all of which need to be arranged.
But for practitioners, especially those like Lou Xiaoyi who have practiced physical skills, this level of hard work is not hard at all. It is far worse than running wildly in the Gobi every night for months.
But there is no need to run all the way, and no one is chasing him from behind. Going south out of Pucheng, it is getting more and more prosperous and there are many pedestrians, but it is not like there is no human habitation for hundreds of miles in the Gobi.
When traveling, identity is an issue. In theory, Zhaoye Country does not prohibit the free movement of civilians, but in practice, it is very troublesome to check the checkpoints!
Lou Xiaoyi had a document, which was the best and most effective qualification for customs clearance, but he didn't use it. Instead, he used a fake identity obtained from the black market. This is what businessmen like to do the most. It allows people to touch him.
Not clear about their trade secrets, sources of supply, and routes;
For Lou Xiaoyi, he just doesn't want people to know his roots, and he doesn't want people to know that his hometown is in Pucheng, where there are two defenseless old ladies.
He must give the Lou family a relatively quiet environment so that they will not be affected by his right and wrong in the spiritual world.
In other words, when it is necessary to take action, there is no need to be taboo about it.
There were no words to say all the way, just talking and staying overnight, just like a truly normal traveler, showing nothing out of the ordinary.
Lou Xiaoyi did not appear as a scholar, but dressed as a Jianghu man, with a bamboo hat, a coir raincoat, a long sword, and a silk scarf around his mouth and nose. He was sunny and handsome, and he dressed so politely like a young knight walking around the world.
, in fact, in order to satisfy the inner yearning for this kind of life, it also attracted the attention of many village women. At least, every night when they stayed at the hotel, there would always be people passing notes through the cracks in the door.
He doesn't dislike this kind of behavior, but it's not appropriate for him to do this now, and the key is that he doesn't know if his current physical condition can resist those unspeakable diseases?
There were also calls coming from the woods when passing by, "Young hero, help me!"
Isn't this too fake? With his ability as a practitioner, he can't see through the moving figures in the woods, but the people inside can see the outside clearly? Do you still know that he is a young hero? Not an old hero? An official?
So he responded loudly, "Don't be alarmed, little lady! I'll teach you to be a good boy. If you can't resist, then just enjoy it quietly!"
As the horse passed by, vicious curses came from behind,
"Enjoy your hammer! Little bastard, if you fall into my hands one day, you will be unable to live or die!"
All these are also rivers and lakes.
Facts have proved that if you really don’t want to cause trouble, then there will be no trouble! Those who are eager to make ten pitfalls along the way must be just trying to get into trouble...
Along the way, he only stayed in Anshun Prefecture for three days, and found the most famous local craftsman to make clay dolls for the two old ladies. However, this thing would not be completed for a while, and it needed to be fired in a kiln, which would take time.
It will be just right when he returns to pick it up.
Lou Xiaoyi arrived at Anshun on the 16th day. He ran so slowly for thousands of miles. It was not because he traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, but because the road became more difficult as he went south. There was no straight line at all. When he encountered lakes, there were only
Going in a big circle, when you encounter a river, you have to go back up and down to find a ferry. There are more and more paddy fields, and it is impossible to run on horseback.
This is a good lesson. If you can't fly, it's better to choose the mode of transportation based on the environment, not just your own preference.
Heming Mountain is very famous in Anshun Prefecture, so famous that almost no one doesn’t know about it!
It is also the most famous Taoist mountain in Anshun Prefecture. There are countless Taoist temples and incense, which are said to be very efficacious.
However, Heming Mountain is not just a mountain, but a mountain range, with countless fronts; the southern and northern foothills are popular and crowded scenic spots, but only the remote western foothills are rarely visited. There are rumors that this place
The beasts are lurking, the poisonous mist is lingering, the mountains are high and the ravines are deep. It may be true or false, or it may just be the sound emitted by the hidden world.
There is a small town under the western foothills, with a nearly isolated environment and a self-sufficient economy, which is Xianlai Town, Xiuzhenfang City.
On this day, a young hero came to the town. He was a man with two horses. He wore a bamboo hat, a raincoat and quick boots. His mouth and nose were covered with a silk scarf, leaving only a pair of bright eyes outside. He carried a long sword on his back and had a slender figure.
The handsome appearance of a young man who is a heroic and righteous deputy!
The young man knew the rules very well, but he did not ride into the town. This was the self-restraint he practiced every time he went to a strange place, especially a small place in the countryside. It didn't matter in a big city, it was already very noisy, and no one would care about you whether you rode a horse or not.
, but small places are different, because small places are very quiet, the villagers stick together and hate outsiders riding horses, the streets are narrow, bumping into people, kicking dogs and disturbing people's sleep are all annoying behaviors.
As the sun sets, Lou Xiaoyi leads his horse in, and his long back appears in the afterglow. He is mysterious, free and easy, walking alone, and a faint melancholic temperament spreads, just like a picture scroll!
Several girls in the town smiled and pointed, chirped slang, and walked away laughing. Their voices were clear, Oona was healthy, this was the taste of the original ecology, and Lou Xiaoyi liked it very much...
In the evening, smoke rose from every house, and the aroma of food wafted over this late autumn town. Lou Xiaoyi realized that he was hungry!
There is only one main street in the town, and the others are small alleys, which can be seen at a glance; there are also several farmhouse restaurants, with half-lifted curtains rippling in the breeze, one of which suits his heart very much.
writes,
“You don’t need eight prayers, just one prayer!”
Very elegant slogan!
I walked over with my horse, but no one came out to greet me in the small place. I had to find a stake outside and tie the horse up. I took the most important small baggage on my shoulders, lifted the curtain and went inside, and said:
"Staff, one bowl of noodles! If you want more sesame seeds, ask for a bigger bowl, and don't want coriander or garlic!"
Several chuckles rang out in the store, but with his strong hearing, he couldn't tell where they came from. There were men and women, both very young!
Late autumn, small town, sunset, smoke... plus a pretentious boy!
Lou Xiaoyi didn't care, he was a cheeky man. After getting used to the dim lighting in the store, he sat down at the only empty table. Next to him was an old man, alone. Watching him sit down,
Then he raised his glass to say hello,
Before Lou Xiaoyi could reply, he had already said: "Young man! Maybe you can understand the fairy dialect?"
Lou Xiaoyi shook his head blankly, wondering what the old man meant?
The old man said sternly: "The local girls on the street just now, their laughing dialect means,
When the sun is not scorching in late autumn, why use a bamboo hat to protect yourself from the sun? When there is little rain in late autumn, why do you need a raincoat to protect your body? There are many waterways in the south, and it is difficult to get rid of muddy boots! It is not the pollen season, so it is ridiculous to cover your face with a silk scarf!"
