Wandering

Chapter 41
Following Feng Junzi's voice, I saw Hei Ruyi trembling in his hand, and two streams of black air were released from the trembling.The black air shot straight into the sky like a rainbow.Hovering and forming in the sky—it turned out to be two black dragons, one big and one small!
Is this the dragon soul sealed in Hei Ruyi?How could there be two?I suddenly remembered that two dragons, one big and one small, were carved on Hei Ruyi's handle and cloud head respectively. Could it be these two?The Big Old Hei and Little Er Hei that Gentleman Feng yelled just now should be these two things, but why does it sound like a dog's name?The larger one of these two black dragons is similar in shape to the white dragon, and the smaller one is about two-thirds as long as the other one.

Two black dragons appeared in the air, and immediately rushed up to surround the white dragon.Three dragons circled and fought in the air, and the clouds in the sky rolled.At this time, the people standing on the embankment suddenly became quiet, not because they saw the dragon, but because the water potential in front of them changed.The waves no longer rushed to the embankment, but circled and surged on the river in front of us!Huge vortices appear one after another on the wide water surface from time to time, and the vortices collide and hit waves several stories high from time to time!
Probably the reaction of the sixth sense, everyone looked up at the sky in unison.These people don't have dark eyes, they can't see the dragon souls fighting in the sky, they can only see the clouds rolling.The clouds in the sky were very strange. White clouds and dark clouds were intertwined and circling each other. As the clouds changed, various changes appeared on the water surface.

At this time, a huge vortex suddenly appeared in front of the embankment, and the water surface suddenly receded, exposing the wet mud bottom.The village chief suddenly yelled: "No! Get out of the way! There's a big wave coming!"

Fortunately, he yelled so loudly that everyone on the embankment ran to both sides.Then I saw a bigger current rushing over, not a wave!It was a high wall of water that overflowed the embankment, and rushed a few people who were walking slowly to the other side of the embankment, but fortunately they were not swept away.

I didn't expect that the three dragons fighting in the sky would make the water surface look like this.That kind of surge is terrible, if the levee comes again a few times, it will be unbearable, and it is very likely that it will be washed away!I hurried to the ruins and reminded Feng Junzi: "Feng Junzi, don't make such a big noise, the embankment can't stand it anymore!"

Feng Junzi: "I can't help it, they are in the sky, and I can't control them!"

"What should I do?"

Feng Junzi: "I can only trouble you..."

While talking, he put away Hei Ruyi, took out two more things from his schoolbag and tied them together.I've seen these two things too. He once used them to fasten Xixiu, which looked like a dog ring and a dog chain—it was the animal lock ring and demon restraining rope stolen from the first gate.He took one of my hands with his left hand, and shouted: "Use your supernatural powers to lock the beast and stop the monster!" At the same time, he raised his right hand and threw the connected beast-locking ring and monster-stopping rope into the air.

The two artifacts were moving like lightning in the air, becoming smaller and smaller and disappearing soon!There was only a thunderous roar in the clouds, and the white cloud and the dark cloud suddenly separated.A white cloud column rose to the sky, rolled away in the distance, and disappeared.At the same time, I seemed to hear a deep tearing roar coming from the distance of Jiulian Mountain.

The white dragon disappeared, leaving only two black dragon souls in the sky.After driving away the white dragon, the two black dragons showed no intention of stopping, they were still hovering in the sky happily, and the river in front of the embankment was still rolling with waves.Feng Junzi looked at the sky and frowned, then took out Hei Ruyi and shouted at the two black dragons: "Use your supernatural powers to seal your soul!"

After he said these words, even I could feel Hei Ruyi in his hand struggling and trembling violently, almost unable to hold it.The two black dragons in the sky seemed to struggle reluctantly, and then turned into two black lights, and retracted into Hei Ruyi.Feng Junzi put Hei Ruyi back into his schoolbag, sat down on the ground and panted heavily.And I felt as if all the strength in my body had been emptied, and I fell limply into the ruins of the village committee.

"Shi Ye, what did you do? When you borrowed the supernatural power just now, you felt that your vitality was weak and your spirit was exhausted too much?"

"It's easy for you to say! You can try to guard the embankment for a few days and nights like me! Then you demolish such a building with the kung fu of a wall-breaker, and then you use your magical powers to fight such a dragon! ... I see you Can you still stand up?"

Feng Junzi: "It turns out that you demolished this building! I said why there are so many human-shaped holes in the wall... There are three yellow bud pills here, you take them back and eat one every day... Be careful yourself."

Feng Junzi handed over a small bottle, which contained three yellow bud pills.I know the origin of the yellow bud pill in his hand. When I eavesdropped on his conversation with sister Ziying that day, he blackmailed sister Ziying for nine yellow bud pills.I didn't want to mention this either, so I just picked it up.

"Gentleman Feng, I was in a hurry just now, so I forgot to ask you. How did you find this place? And you happened to take Black Ruyi to block that dragon? What happened to that white dragon? How is it doing now?"

Feng Junzi: "How can I answer so many questions? Listen to me slowly, this matter is too long... Shi Ye, let me ask you first, do you know why this place is called Liqiao Township? Qingyi Why is that place on the lower reaches of the river called Tianmen Township?"

Liqiao Township?Tianmen Township?This is the place name of Wucheng since ancient times, and everyone is accustomed to it, and does not consider any special meaning in it.However, when he asked, I remembered it—there has been a legend since ancient times that a carp jumping over the dragon gate can transform into a dragon and fly away.This legend is not unique to Wucheng, there is even a Longmen Gorge in the Yellow River.And the two names of Liqiao and Tianmen, don't they mean transforming dragons into the sky?

Thinking of this, I thought of a local nursery rhyme. This nursery rhyme has been widely spread. I also learned to sing it when I was a child. I don’t know when it was passed down.I remember the first four sentences are: from the cloud waterway, no cows and horses, green ripples and long tides, iron trees blooming...I didn't know the meaning when I was young, but now that I have read more ancient Chinese, I should understand.

As the saying goes, the tiger follows the wind and the cloud follows the dragon. The word "congyun" refers to the dragon.Then "Congyun Waterway" refers to the waterway where dragons walk. "No cows and horses" is an adjective, which means that the river is wide and the cows and horses cannot be seen clearly on the other side, which should be the scene during the flood.So I told Feng Junzi this nursery rhyme and my thoughts.

Feng Junzi nodded after listening to it and said: "I haven't heard this nursery rhyme, but I have read "Wucheng Zhoufu Zhi". I think the prefect of Wucheng had a legacy when Jinbaowei was built - the Qingyi River has a wide waterway. But you must not occupy the farmland, otherwise you will cause big harm because of small profits. The big fairs in Wucheng have a history of hundreds of years at least, but the Liqiao Fair and Tianmen Fair were built after liberation. The waterway of the Yijiang River...what's going on here?"

Feng Junzi doesn't know what happened to Liqiao Fair and Tianmen Fair, but I have heard of it.These two large fairs were built when they wanted to "learn from Dazhai in agriculture", and the slogan was to "ask for food from the fertile river beach".At that time, there was a saying that "the revolutionary masses have so much ambition that they dare to turn the sea into a mulberry field!" The two large fairs were completed in a short period of time, and almost all the local labor force was mobilized. Even Grandpa Jin in our village Go up the embankment and pick the soil.The area of ​​the Qingyi River was originally an open tidal wetland between the mountains.Later, after Liqiao Wei and Tianmen Wei were built, Qingyi River left a zigzag waterway.After the completion of these two fairs, it is true that hundreds of thousands of acres of grain fields have been added, but the flooding of the Qingyi River has also become more frequent.

"Feng Junzi, what you mean is that the Liqiao Fair and Tianmen Fair blocked the waterway of the white dragon. ... Where did the white dragon come from? How could there really be a dragon in the world?"

Feng Junzi: "Is there really a dragon? There is no need to worry about it. If you see it, you have seen it. If you can't see it, you really can't see it!... Let me tell you, this chilong came from the Qianlong Yuan in Baimang Mountain. I discovered it when I went to Baimang Mountain in April this year. I didn’t expect it to become a climate so quickly... The Wucheng catastrophe I once told you refers to this flood, so I have to save the black Ruyi to deal with it This chilong...do you understand now?"

"That's what happened, I see. How is the dragon now?"

Feng Junzi sighed, and there was sadness in his eyes: "It just took shape, but found that the waterway was blocked. It wanted to ride the wind and waves to break through the waterway, but it bumped into me again. I didn't kill it, I didn't hurt it, I just put it Locked back into Qianlongyuan again... Shi Ye, if you are free in the future, go to Qianlongyuan in Baimang Mountain, ask this dragon to come out and ask what it wants, and we will try our best to meet it if we can help... ..."

Feng Junzi's actions just now are almost a great hero who saved the homes of hundreds of thousands of residents in Wucheng by himself.However, on the face of this "big hero", there is no trace of pride and ambition, and sitting there looks like a sullen mud monkey.I asked him, "Why?...Why don't you go by yourself?"

Feng Junzi: "I'm ashamed to see it!...Think about it, if you finally got admitted to a national key university, and someone insisted that your status is not suitable and your family conditions are not enough, so you are not allowed to go, what would you think? ? If you were that white chinch, would you hate me? From its point of view, it has nothing wrong with it, it is people blocking its waterway... I don’t know what it is that cultivated Jackie Chan, but hundreds of The time of the year and the good fortune of heaven and earth are not easy, but somehow I locked it back..."

The more Feng Junzi talked, the more depressed he became. It could be heard that he looked at the dragon from the perspective of "practice", and felt that his behavior was very sorry for it.Seeing that he was unhappy, I couldn't help comforting him: "Actually, you are also for the sake of hundreds of thousands of lives. You have preserved the homes, villages and fields of tens of thousands of people."

Feng Junzi smiled lightly: "At first I didn't want to care about it. These people don't respect the teachings of their ancestors, occupying waterways, seeking small benefits and causing big harm. It is actually the way of nature not to interfere in this kind of thing. But I still can't bear it." Stop, because I don't know who is at fault?...Besides, I actually have a little selfishness."

"Selfishness! What selfishness?"

Feng Junzi pointed to the distance in the lower reaches of the Qingyi River: "Do you know the Tianmenwei [-] miles downstream? My father is now the commander-in-chief of flood control on the Tianmenwei. He is guarding the Qingyi River with tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians... If I let Bai Long go there, it will be my father! If you were me, what would you do?"

Feng Junzi's father, I heard him say occasionally, is a cadre of the Wucheng Water Conservancy Department.Unexpectedly, this time he was sent to Tianmenwei as the commander-in-chief of flood control.I just heard the call from the senior colonel saying that the situation on the Tianmenwei Embankment is also quite dangerous.Fortunately, there was a gentleman who caught up with Bailong at Liqiaowei upstream.

Junzi Feng rested for a while, and said he was going home.If he doesn't go back today, his mother will be very worried at home, so he packed his schoolbag and left sullenly.Looking at his back covered in mud and water, I also knew that he had worked hard all the way here and did something he was reluctant to do but had to do.Living in the world, one always has to face the choices one has to make, and the more advanced one is, the more important this choice is.For example, I don't have the cultivation level of Feng Junzi, so I don't have to face his kind of problems.

While I was thinking, someone suddenly patted me on the shoulder and said, "Young man, what's your name? You're so handsome! Who did you learn from?" When I stood up and looked back, I found that I was commanding the army on the embankment. The senior colonel stood in front of me with a smile, followed by a few PLA soldiers with admiring expressions on their faces.

"Chief, chief, why are you? Are you okay on the embankment? How did you get down?"

"The rain has stopped, the wind has stopped, there are no waves now, the situation on the embankment is much better, and the fellow villagers are having lunch and rest....Young man, you haven't answered my question yet? How did you practice this hard work?" from?"

It turned out he wanted to ask this.The colonel just saw me go through the wall and break the wall. He doesn't know what a golden dragon lock jade pillar is, let alone what a wall breaker is.But according to his own understanding, he regarded it as hard qigong.Soldiers in the army also practice hard qigong, such as splitting bricks, but he has never seen such a miraculous one as me.I can't answer this question truthfully, so I can only perfunctoryly say: "I learned it from my master when I was young, and my master forbids me to tell others his name."

The colonel smiled again: "So that's the case, I understand, so don't ask. By the way, what's your name, which village are you from? What are you doing now?"

I replied: "My name is Shi Ye, I'm from Shizhu Village, and I'm studying in Wucheng Middle School now."

Colonel: "Wucheng Middle School? That's the key point. I didn't see it, you are both civil and military!... Are you tired, lunch is here, come eat with us."

The lunch on the embankment is very simple, that is, a door panel is used as a table in the thatched shed, and the food is a big pot of vegetables and steamed buns sent from the village. The conditions are very simple.At least there are stools at the colonel's table, and the township head and the bureau chief who came down from the city are also at this table—I've never had dinner with such a large cadre, and I feel a little uncomfortable.But the colonel was very accommodating to me, and the guard next to him was also a martial arts practitioner, and kept asking me questions about hard qigong.I don't know much, and I can only tell him a few words about the half set of golden bell jars that Junzi Feng taught me.

……

The flood came and went back quickly. On the second day after Feng Junzi "locked the white dragon", the flood peak had passed, and the water level of Qingyi River dropped below the warning line.When I got home, I fell asleep all day and all night. I was really exhausted!My father went on the embankment like me, and was also very tired.

When I woke up, I smelled the smell of chicken soup.I got up and went to the main room to see that my mother had already stewed the chicken soup, and it was the old hen that laid eggs at home.There are still fresh shiitake mushrooms picked from the mountains floating in the chicken soup. My sister just picked them today. After the rain, it is a good time to pick mushrooms.This is to nourish our father and son, and the mother and sister eat very little.

I do feel a little weak. What I have exhausted is not just physical strength. I may not be able to make up for it with chicken soup. Fortunately, Junzi Feng specially left three yellow bud pills for me.I discovered a secret, that is to dissolve the yellow bud dan in the chicken soup, and the taste of the chicken soup will become particularly good.That was when I was drinking chicken soup, I quietly put half a grain of Huangya Dan in a bowl for an experiment. As a result, even my mother in the kitchen could smell the strong aroma coming from the main room. It was chicken soup but not ordinary. Chicken soup can come out.My sister asked me curiously: "Brother, why does the chicken soup in your bowl smell so good? It smells very pleasant?"

Sister Ziying once told me that ordinary people can also take Huang Ya Dan, as long as it is not excessive, it has the effect of nourishing qi and calming the nerves.But when practitioners give Huang Ya Dan to ordinary people, it is actually a waste of the most important medicinal power.I can't control that much. Seeing that the chicken soup is so delicious, I quietly put half a grain of Huangya Dan into the earthen pot of chicken soup, and now the yard is full of fragrance.After drinking this chicken soup, the parents and younger sister felt refreshed, their fatigue was swept away, and they were amazed. They almost thought that the old hen that laid eggs had become a sperm.It's just me, but I don't feel anything special. It seems that I need to recuperate for a few days.

After two days, I felt that I had basically returned to normal, and it was time to practice the "magic pill" and the method of inner breathing again.However, another accident occurred on this day.It was around ten o'clock in the morning, and a yellow-green jeep drove up from the entrance of the village.When the driver entered the village, he asked the children playing on the side of the road, and drove the car directly to the gate of my yard and stopped.

It was a BJ Jeep 212, a small jeep with a canvas top that was common in the old days.Most of the cadres from the city to the countryside take this kind of car, because the mountain roads are difficult to walk and cars cannot pass.When this kind of car comes to our village, it usually stops at the gate of the village committee. Why did it arrive at my house today?The village chief and the village accountant saw a car coming into the village from a long distance, and they were already waiting at the gate of the village committee, but they found that the car didn't arrive at the village committee, so they came over curiously to see the situation.

A person got out of the car, went straight to the gate of the courtyard, and shouted: "Excuse me, is this Ishino's house? Is student Ishino at home?"

"Director Fang, don't shout, I'm right here, why are you here? Is there something wrong with the school?" I just stood in the yard, and opened the gate while talking.

As soon as the person who spoke was speaking, I recognized that it was Fang Zhouzi, the dean of our school.Director Fang Zhouzi doesn't usually deal with students much. If he calls a student away, it usually means that the student has made a mistake and will be criticized or punished. Anyway, he has never praised anyone.The students secretly call him the God of Plague. Why did the Lord God of Plague come to my house during the summer vacation?I didn't make any mistakes!

A little uneasy, he opened the door and let him into the yard, and his parents also came out after hearing the sound, asking who was the guest.As soon as I heard that it was the leader of our school who came, I quickly politely asked him to come to the house to serve tea and water, thinking that it was a home visit.After sitting down, Director Fang exchanged a few words with my parents, looked at the environment of my home, and praised me as a scholar from the mountain village, I should study hard and cherish opportunities, etc., talking about it is irrelevant.

Looking at Director Fang, I was a little puzzled.I haven't heard of him visiting any student's home. Even if the dean wants to visit the home in person, it won't be my humble student's turn, right?Our Wucheng Middle School is a division-level unit, so Director Fang is a deputy division-level cadre.But this person thinks very highly of himself and always thinks that he is a great intellectual. Even Principal He doesn't think much of him, and he only respects him superficially.

Director Fang is in his thirties and is said to have graduated from a prestigious university.I usually like to write and write, and publish dried bean curd articles in various newspapers. I also got involved in the Wucheng Writers Association through my relationship. Recently, I don’t know why I joined the Science and Technology Association of the Wucheng Committee.Judging by his speech and behavior, it seems that he regards himself as a writer and scientist.Wucheng Middle School has a long history. In the 30s, two school leaders later served as instructors of Huangpu Military Academy. Director Fang obviously put himself on the same level as his predecessors.

I was chatting with him, and my father noticed that the jeep was parked outside my house, and there were many people watching, and the driver stayed in the car.They reminded Director Fang: "Principal Fang, the driver is still in the car, it's hot, please come in for a cup of tea?"

Director Fang seemed to remember that there were still people waiting in the car, and waved his hand: "He doesn't need it, he said he was waiting in the car, don't worry about it." I noticed that car, the license plate of that car It's on a white background, it should be a military vehicle, not our school's vehicle.Probably because he didn't want people outside the door to wait too anxiously, Director Fang finally got to the point. He said to me: "Student Shi Ye, I'm here to pick you up. You were selected by the school to participate in this year's Eagle Summer Camp."

"What? Summer camp? Me?"

Both my father and I were amazed.I thought I made a mistake and Director Fang came to the door, but I didn't expect such a great thing to happen to me.I had heard of summer camps before, but only in juvenile books. I thought it was far away from students like me. I didn't expect Director Fang to come and tell me that the school selected me to participate in the summer camp.At that time, my understanding of the so-called summer camp was to organize a group of related students to go out for sightseeing.

Director Fang smiled and said to my parents: "Student Shi Ye has performed very well in school. He has developed in all aspects. The school leaders and teachers often praise him. This summer, the municipal party committee and the Wucheng local garrison jointly organized a military-civilian joint construction project." Our school has only one place for Eagle Summer Camp, and everyone recommends Ishino."

Director Fang's expression was extremely sincere when he spoke, and my parents looked at me with gratified and moved faces, as if their faces were also brightened.Only I know that Director Fang's words are too false, I can't even believe it!My performance in school is average, let alone the school leaders praise me, I'm afraid they won't even be able to name me when they meet, why is there only this one spot, and it falls on me?

At this time, my mother asked a very practical question: "Leader Fang, how much does it cost to participate in the summer camp?"

The father quickly interrupted the mother's words: "Fucking mother, don't say such embarrassing things... This is a good thing, and we will pay as much as you want. Principal Fang, do you need to prepare anything for the child?"

Director Fang frowned slightly, but still replied with a smile: "There is no need to pay, and there is no need to prepare anything. Meals and lodging are all free, and clothing is also distributed free of charge, as long as people from Shiye go. ... This is also The superior leaders care about the growth and exercise of middle school students!"

The more I listened, the more confused I became. As the saying goes, being cheap is not a good thing. How could a good school give me such a big deal.I was a little puzzled and asked Director Fang: "Director Fang, did the school really choose me? There is no mistake, right?"

Director Fang: "Of course it can't be wrong. I, the teaching director, have come here in person....Two parents, don't you worry about your child going out? Don't worry, the People's Liberation Army will take care of you!"

Of course, it is hard for parents to say that they are worried about the leader.It's just that I didn't expect the matter to be so urgent. Director Fang came with a car and was about to take me back to school to report.There is nothing to pack, but I still brought a few things - a schoolbag and a few books, including the two boxing books Feng Junzi gave me.

Although I have doubts in my heart, I can't figure out why?But in this case, I still drove away with Director Fang.The school leaders came to pick me up in person, and it was hard for me to go.The driver didn't speak when getting in the car, and drove off after seeing us close the door.On the way to downtown Wucheng, Director Fang chatted with me a few more words, intentionally or unintentionally asking me who are the important people I know or who are the relatives with status in my family?
It turned out that the school received a notice from somewhere in the municipal government two days ago that Wucheng Middle School would send a student to participate in this summer camp.The school recommended several students, including Yang Tong from our class and He Jun, the son of Principal He.Unexpectedly, the leaders above didn't look at the school's selection at all, and directly named me Shi Ye, and even sent a military vehicle to the school to find the leaders to pick me up.Even Director Fang himself doesn't know what's going on!Director Fang is obviously trying to trick me, a kid, but unfortunately I don't know.

The car did not drive back to the school, but stopped at the side gate of the Wucheng government.A middle-aged man in a Chinese tunic got into the car, showed Director Fang his ID, and introduced himself as the director of the government's No. [-] department.Then he said: "Director Fang, you can go back!"

Director Fang opened his mouth to say something, but didn't say a word. He opened the car door and got out.Later, this man was so powerful that he didn't even send Director Fang back to school, and asked him to walk back by himself!The car started immediately after Director Fang left, and the middle-aged man sitting in the front passenger seat turned around and extended a hand to me: "Student Shi Ye, hello! My surname is Gu, so you can call me Old Gu." !"

"Gu, Director Gu, hello!...What's going on with this summer camp? Why did you find me!"

Director Gu chuckled: "Xiaoshi, you'll know the place when you get there. There's an acquaintance waiting for you."

The jeep passed through Wucheng all the way, and came to a compound of a local garrison on the outskirts of the city.Before it came to a complete stop, a loud voice shouted outside: "Old Gu, did you bring that kid?"
