Wandering

Chapter 93 Sixing often asks me, Floating in the Galaxy
"Axiu, thank you so much! You just woke me up, otherwise I really don't know how to go up the mountain!"

Axiu sat there, resting her chin on her hands, and looked at me with twinkling eyes: "Brother Shiye, you are so cute... You clearly have this realm, but you don't know how to use it, and your master doesn't teach you either.  … ...You are actually very savvy, as long as you point out a sentence, you will understand it immediately."

"Thank you for pointing me out today. How did you know? Who taught you?"

Axiu shook her head mischievously: "No one taught me, I was born with it! People are born to know it, and they learn to know it. I was born to know it. As for Brother Shiye, he didn't need to learn, he just realized it.... I almost I forgot to tell you, Liu Yiyi wants you to go to the Green Snow Tea Room tomorrow morning, she has something to ask you."

……

"Yiyi, do you need me? I come here almost every day, why do you need to say hello?"

Liu Yiyi: "I'm afraid my brother is busy these days and won't have time to come, so I want Axiu to call you here."

"What's the matter? You take it so seriously?"

Liu Yiyi: "I heard that brother is going on a long trip recently, isn't it?"

"Yes, it's not too far away. I'm going to Huangshan, and it's only a few hundred kilometers away."

Liu Yiyi: "That also means that Wucheng District has gone to other places. When I was young, my mother often said that poor families have rich roads. It is inconvenient to go out, so it is better to bring more money. I have money here, and I will pay for my brother's travel expenses."

Liu Yiyi is so innocent and cute, she actually thinks that I need to spend money to go out and give me travel expenses!Where did she get the money?It's nothing more than the money from selling tea at Lvxue Tea Room.I was about to say no, but Liu Yiyi gave me a tin box and said in a low voice, "This is the money I earned during this period of time. I put all of it here, a total of 150 yuan. Brother must bring it with you." body."

I really didn't expect that the business in this Lvxue Tea Room was so light, and they actually made so much money in this month. In addition to the 15.00% handed over to Director Gu, there was still more than 4000 left over!I was a little surprised and said, "Yiyi, it's only been open for a month, and that's all it takes?"

Liu Yiyi: "In the first ten days or so, there were very few customers, but gradually there were more. I estimate that next month, I will earn at least twice as much. Is the money enough?"

"Enough, enough!...Yiyi, why don't you spend it yourself?"

Liu Yiyi: "I don't need to spend money. When I go out to buy things, it's Ziying's sister who pays the bill, and Axiu's pocket money is all given by Ziying's sister....Brother, put it away quickly, use it on the road, ...If you have money, you can buy Mr. Feng a drink, and when you run out, you can come to Yiyi to get it."

Seeing Liu Yiyi's lovely appearance, I felt an inexplicable pity in my heart.I still took the money, because she would be happy only if I took it.I made a small fortune just before the Chinese New Year, how about the profit of Zhiweilou?
……

Tiandu, Lianhua and Guangmingding are known as the three main peaks of Huangshan Mountain.Guangmingding is the highest peak in East China, and the geothermal area is relatively flat and open. It is a good place to watch the sunrise.Tiandu Peak is the most dangerous. The mountains on both sides of a cliff are so sharp that people with a weak heart will tremble in their calves when they see the stone ladder between the mountains, not to mention going up.The Lotus Peak is the strangest, its top boulder is like a petal, shaped like a lotus flower.

To the west of Lianhua Peak, there is a Lianrui Peak. On one side of Lianrui Peak, there is a huge stone hanging from each other, shaped like a peacock against the mountain.And in the east direction of Lianhua Peak, there is also a big mountain peak, which is Huangdi Alchemy Peak, and the whole Huangshan Mountain is named after it.Alchemy Peak is in the shape of a steep cone with cliffs on all sides.Mount Huangshan is now a famous scenic spot. Every golden holiday, the mountain roads are crowded with tourists, and the hotels on the top of the mountain are often full.But what is interesting is that many places in this mountain have been inaccessible since ancient times. Although there are many tourists, they can only be crowded on the developed tourist routes.

Huangshan is famous for its grandeur and steepness. Sometimes two peaks are very close, but you cannot go from one peak to the other because there is a deep valley between them.For example, looking at Alchemy Peak from Lianhua Peak, everything on the top of the peak is clearly visible, and there is almost an illusion that you can touch it with your hands.But you can't find your way there.In summer, this is a very lively scenic area, but on New Year's Eve, Huangshan Mountain has already been closed to thank visitors. If it is a big mountain, there is no one.It's not that the tourism department doesn't want to open up to make money, but that after the snow falls and freezes, there is no way to walk on the mountain roads.

There are also many hotels on the top of Huangshan Mountain, distributed in Qingyun Linhai, Guangmingding, Beihai, etc. It is said that the cost is much more expensive than that at the bottom of the mountain.Liu Yiyi gave me money, probably for me to spend it like this.But when I came here, I found that I didn't need to spend a penny, because all the hotels were sealed, and all the service personnel went down the mountain, and there was not even a person on duty.I can choose any room to live in, even the presidential suite, no one will collect the money, the fly in the ointment is that there is no room service.I stayed at the Yupinglou Hotel next to the Yingke Pine, and I lived in the best suite very chicly.

On New Year's Eve, thousands of families were reunited, but I was sitting alone on the reclining Buddha stone at the highest point of Yuping Peak.There is no moon in the sky, the stars are extraordinarily brilliant, and there are clouds under the feet, layer upon layer like the sea.I looked down at the sea of ​​clouds under the night, but saw the starry sky in the sea of ​​clouds!This is a very strange reflection phenomenon of water and mist crystallization in the clouds. The sea of ​​clouds actually reflects a piece of starlight, making people feel that the sky and the earth are hanging in the air, and they don't know where they are.

……

I made a mistake, I went to Lotus Peak first and then to Alchemy Peak.Looking at Alchemy Peak from Lianhua Peak, it feels very close, but the road to go there is extremely long.I almost went down the mountain first and then went up the mountain again, from the pine forest at the bottom of Qianzhang Valley to climb the Alchemy Peak again.When it was about to dawn on the first day of the new year, I was walking on the mountain wall, and the surrounding pines gradually turned into Huangshan pine.Huangshan pine is a variant of masson pine. Its root system can secrete an acidic substance to decompose rocks, so it can take root on cliffs.Its growth is extremely slow, and an inconspicuous small pine tree may be hundreds of years old.

If it were a deserted mountain, I would actually meet a group of robbers blocking the way in the bushes on the mountainside.Don't get me wrong, these "thugs" are not human beings, but a group of chubby Huangshan macaques.I probably violated the territory of the monkeys. These guys bared their teeth and yelled at me, and some of them even wanted to come over and tear my clothes.I'm not in the mood to tangle with the monkeys right now, so I quicken my pace over the treetops.Going up again, there are bare cliffs, and even monkeys can't climb up this kind of place.

The sun rose with me, and when I got to the steepest part of the cliff, I saw it just in time.At that time, the sea of ​​clouds had dissipated, revealing the green and green mountains all over the mountain, and there was still snow between the green.The remaining snow and thin ice on the rocks and pine branches reflect the Danxia in the east.Half a round of red sun came out from the mountains in the distance, and the rays of light made my face golden red.I stood on the pine branch protruding from the cliff, looked back at the sun, but saw a person at a glance.

This is an ordinary person, wearing a gray-blue Chinese tunic suit, with a calm and slightly sad face.I just saw his profile from my point of view, a man in his 30s.If such a person is usually encountered, there may be nothing special about it, but seeing him on the cliff of Huangshan Alchemy Peak, one immediately knows that his origin is extraordinary.

He sat cross-legged on a rock protruding from the cliff, facing the direction of the sunrise.The rays of the sun shone on him, and the surrounding stone walls emitted a hazy halo of seven colors, enveloping him.This is a very artistic picture: the people sitting in meditation, the steep mountains, and the sky full of red clouds, almost melt into one without distinguishing each other.I could tell from his appearance that he was doing exercises. Maybe the Taoism he practiced was similar to my "gathering the sun", meditating in the sunrise.

This person is probably Dan Xiasheng.I was not in a hurry to say hello. Practitioners refrain from being disturbed by others when they perform the exercises.I stood quietly on the pine branch and waited for him to finish his work.I didn't wait long. About half an hour later, the sun had already risen above the mountain, and the rays of light turned into a golden sun.The man stood up with a sigh.

I made a bow from a distance, and said respectfully, "Excuse me, are you Danxiasheng of the Xuanyuan School? Ishino is visiting."

Dan Xiasheng heard someone talking, his expression changed, he seemed a little bit surprised, he turned around suddenly and saw me: "Shi Ye? Shi Xiaoren from Wucheng! Why did you come here during the Chinese New Year?"

Dan Xiasheng has heard of my name, so it seems that I am quite famous.But looking at his expression, he was not very happy.I can think of this, the ordinary master said earlier that the couple collected the world's elixir and wanted to refine the Nine-Turn Purple Gold Pill, this is a very secret matter, and they don't want to be disturbed, and they are afraid of being vying for it.At this moment, I couldn’t misunderstand him, so I respectfully said: “It’s me. There’s a reason for interrupting today. A few days ago in Wucheng, I ran into an ordinary master who was the head of Xuanyuan’s sect, and was entrusted by the ordinary master to send me four vermilion fruits. I hope Fellow Daoist Danxia doesn't think I'm presumptuous."

Dan Xiasheng's expression changed from surprise to surprise: "So that's the case, I said how did you find this place, it turned out to be the senior brother... I heard the movement just now, and I thought it was the naughty and bold monkey king down the mountain ...I'm sorry, I was rude just now." As he spoke, he got up and leaned against the mountain wall to take a few steps in the air, and when he came closer, he also raised his hand to salute me.

"Fellow Daoist Danxia, ​​don't be polite, here are four vermilion fruits, please accept them." I handed over a wooden box as I spoke.Dan Xiasheng looked a little ashamed, but she didn't refuse, she reached out to take it, opened it, and found that it was four vermilion fruits.

"It really is vermilion fruit! Master Shi, if you give away such a precious thing, you'll get four of them, so call me..." Dan Xiasheng stammered a bit.

"No matter how precious something is, it has to be useful. This vermilion fruit is not very useful to me, but I heard from Sect Master Fan that you need it urgently, so I sent it here."

Dan Xiasheng looked at me with a very grateful and embarrassed look: "Ren Shi is generous, and I am very grateful. It is just a treasure in this world, how dare Dan Xiasheng ask for it empty-handed, I don't know what Shi Ren has to do, please go ahead Speak."

I smiled: "Actually, I really have something to do with you, otherwise ordinary masters wouldn't point me out....Let's not just stand here and talk all the time. Is there any place to sit?"

Dan Xiasheng patted her thigh: "Yes, yes, how could I forget, Master Shi, please follow me."

Dan Xiasheng led me to turn around the mountain wall, and saw him pointing his feet in the air. Obviously, he also used the same skill of climbing the cliff as me.What would this cave in the mountainside be like?My guess was that it was a big cave, but it turned out not to be.When the mountain turned around, it turned out that in the middle of the cliff, a piece of the cliff was sunken inward, forming a very special space.Looking up, it is a semi-circular dome, at least seven or eight feet high, and there is a platform below it, which is tens of meters wide.On the hinterland platform sunken by the mountain wall, there is actually a house made of rocks, with two front and back entrances and a complete courtyard.It would be fine if such a house appeared in other places, but hidden in this deep mountainside, it can really be called a miracle of good fortune.

The door was not closed, it was ajar.Dan Xiasheng walked to the door and shouted: "Ma'am, a guest is here!"

A woman's voice came from inside the door, and there was a bit of panic in her voice: "Why would someone come to this place on the first day of the new year? Could it be that someone discovered our hiding place." Then she left When she came out, she was a delicate and beautiful young woman, but her face was a bit tired, and she was a perfect match for Dan Xiasheng's tall and elegant figure.But her expression was a little nervous, and she still held a handful of golden things in her hand.

Dan Xiasheng took a step forward and said: "Madam, don't panic, put away the magic weapon, there are indeed guests coming. My senior brother asked this Master Shi Ye to bring us four vermilion fruits, look..."

She put away the magic weapon and took the wooden box from Danxiasheng's hand, her reaction was much more intense than Danxiasheng's just now: "Zhu Guo, it's really Zhu Guo! Four pieces, that's great. Where did they come from!"

I stepped forward and cupped my hands: "I got these four vermilion fruits by chance. I heard from the head of the Xuanyuan Sect that you and your wife are in urgent need, so I took the liberty to send them here. ... My name is Shi Ye, from Wucheng, I don't know what to call my sister-in-law ?”

"Marry your husband and obey your husband. Don't use your common name anymore. You can call me Mrs. Danxia....It turns out that it is the famous real Shi Xiaoren. Our husband and wife are really grateful. I was too excited just now, so I was rude." Mrs. Danxia Only then did he notice me, and hurriedly put away Zhu Guo and greeted me.

Dan Xiasheng: "Let's not stand here and say, come in and sit down, Madam prepares food and drinks, and entertain guests well."
