Section 41 Night talk, family and country
Seeing Xu Jing's red cheeks and hair stuck together on her wet forehead, Xu Jing still insisted on walking by herself for the past or two days, Jiang Feng was also a little pity.
From Huoshan to Shuzhou, there were more than ten people in this group, riding horses seemed too dazzling. Moreover, for warriors, this trek was actually a polishing process, which was a hard work for themselves, so everyone chose to walk rather than ride horses.
Of course, there is also because we need to cross Mount Huo, that is, Mount Tianzhu.
Huoshan (Tianzhu Mountain) is the remnant of the Dabie Mountains, which lies between Huoshan County and Shuzhou. It was designated as a southern mountain by Emperor Wu of Han. It has always been a famous mountain in the world. The two Taoist and Buddhist families are both incense and are full of temples.
It is not easy to cross Huo Mountain, but it is not difficult for Jiang Feng and his party. Even if Deng Guinian and Gan Quan are both people who have been traveling for a long time, it is no problem. The only one is Xu Jing, his daughter's family. This trek was a refinement, and even if Ju Lu helped each other, it was extremely difficult.
Huoshan has a complex terrain, with mountains, hills, valleys and basins intertwined. Jiang Feng and others walked along the way, but they met many people who entered the mountains to worship Buddha and practice Taoism. They never thought that the incense in Huoshan was so prosperous.
I spent two days traveling through Huo Mountain, sleeping in the valley basin at night.
He set up a bonfire, beat some hares and pheasants, and even caught a few giant salamanders in the stream, peeled off their hair, took out their internal organs, wrapped them with spices and salt, and roasted them on the bonfire. In less than half an hour, the swaying fragrance made people salivate.
Many people came out this time, and they were veterans with experience in traveling, with spices and salt, and were essential for outdoor camping, especially in mountainous areas like Huoshan, where wild birds and small animals are everywhere. When they meet experts like Jiang Feng, Yang Kan, and Tian Chunlai, they are naturally able to capture them and quickly turn into food and drinks.
"I didn't expect that Huoshan would be so beautiful, which is amazing." Yang Kan had traveled in the Central Plains in the past, and had traveled to Hedong and Youyan at the farthest, but he rarely came to Jianghuai. This trip to Huoshan was also shocked by the scenery of Huoshan.
"Huoshan is known as the 36 Cave Heaven and Seventy-Two Blessings, so it is naturally extraordinary. During the day, we meet many pilgrims, who come to the temples in the mountains, devote themselves to practicing Taoism and sincerely worshiping Buddha. I feel that although this expectation of immortality is a bit vain, life in this mountain is also of interest." Zhang Ting followed Yang Kan's words.
"After that, this seems to be inconsistent with your temperament. Can you bear the days of being pure and weak? I am afraid that if you can't live in this mountain for a few days, you will feel that you are about to fade out of your mouth." Yang Kan quipped.
Yang Kan and Zhang Ting were in the city of Bianliang. Of course, this kind of separation does not mean how bad their personal relationship is, but just a meaning of not being convinced by each other.
The Yang and Zhang families are both top military generals in Daliang. Yang Kan is a concubine, but he made a big splash. Not only did he bravely seize the Ice King's Sphur, but he also swept countless times in Bianliang City with his dark frost.
However, Zhang Ting is the legitimate son of Zhang. He is arrogant and has a unique character. His talent in martial arts is also outstanding, but he is always suppressed by Yang Kan. In addition, Zhang Ting's personality is not as popular as Yang Kan, so Zhang Ting's reputation in Bianliang City is still not as good as Yang Kan, which also makes Zhang Ting very angry.
Originally, Zhang Ting had already intended to join Xizhou to prove himself, but Yang Kan stole the head, so Zhang Ting hesitated for a while before finally joining Xizhou.
Fortunately, both of them are pretty good at generalism. Although they often provoke each other in words, they still do not affect the overall situation. No one will act irritably when encountering major issues when encountering major issues.
"In life, we still have to pursue some pursuits. Since we have chosen to practice martial arts and shoulder the expectations of our family and relatives, we naturally have to have a goal of fighting. Whether we have a wife and children, revitalize the family, or master the gods of martial arts, we are pursuing the wonderful process of achieving these goals, but we don't care much about others. When we get old in the future, we find a quiet place to slowly reminisce about what we have done in this life. Wouldn't it be fun? Like this Huoshan Mountain is a place to take care of itself when it gets old in the future."
Zhang Ting's Zen words shocked the warriors surrounding the bonfire.
I didn't expect that this guy who is usually arrogant and harsh in words has such pure pursuits, but it is very surprising that even Ding Man, who has never liked Zhang Ting, couldn't help but change his impression of Zhang Ting.
Jiang Feng didn't expect that Zhang Ting was quite conscious and had already sublimated to the point where he pursued the process without seeking results. He was quite interesting and said with a smile: "We are all ordinary people. In addition to ourselves, we also have family members, clansmen, relatives and friends around us. We always have some goals in our hearts. In this life, we are both for ourselves and others. But the so-called family, country and the world are to be upright, to cultivate ourselves and govern the country and to pacify the world. We were born in this chaotic world, so we should not be so limited to narrow-mindedness, but we should work hard and take governing the country and pacifying the world as our responsibility, and do what we do and do not do so. Only then can we live up to God and be born in this era!"
Jiang Feng's words were ordinary in the first few words, but the next few words suddenly increased, linking his personal destiny with the rise and fall of the world. He said it fiercely, especially in the current turbulent environment, which made people excited.
Whether it was Yang Kan, Ding Man, Zhang Ting, Tian Chunlai and others, they couldn't help but show their eyes and were filled with passion. Even Meikuang and others were moved by Jiang Feng's words, and they had the urge to whistle to the sky and express their mood.
The mountain wind was howling, the bonfire was swaying, and the light and shadow were flashing. The group seemed to be excited by the words of Zhang Ting and Jiang Feng and started to talk.
In such an environment, it is often the best time to promote friendship. For example, Qin Zaidao and Huang Anjin are the earliest generals of the Gushi Army, Yang Kan, Ding Man, Zhang Ting, and Guo Yue are generals from the Daliang Group, while Ju Luo and Ju Shen are from Shenzhou, Tian Chunlai and Mei Kuang are from Shouzhou, and although Deng Guinian is from Daliang, he has no contact with Yang Kan and others. Instead, he has a common language with Gan Quan and Xu Jing. At this time, he gathers together and has common topics, so he naturally becomes familiar with them.
Like Yang Kan and Meikuang, Ju Shen, Tian Chunrong and Zhang Ting, Qin Zaidao, Guo Yue and Huang Anjin, they soon became familiar with each other, but Jiang Feng joined the circle of Deng Guinian and Gan Quan.
It was all the time to talk late at night, the bonfire burned out, and everyone was still talking about it. In the end, Jiang Feng asked everyone to rest as soon as possible, arranged shifts to be on duty before resting.
Jiang Feng also realized the effect of this night talk. On the second day, everyone can still continue the topic of the previous eve. The relationship between them unknowingly became much more harmonious and familiar. This effect is far better than meetings and banquets together.
So Jiang Feng simply chose to go to the market town or county town during the day to buy some necessary things, and then continue to rush on the road. Instead, he camped in the wilderness at night, and there were two bonfires every night, and everyone sat around to find some topics that everyone was interested in to spread, so that everyone could talk about it with great pleasure.
After a few days, when the group passed through Shuzhou City and arrived at Wangjiang County, everyone's relationship was much more familiar than when they set out from Huoshan.
*********************************************************
"Is this the Thunder Pool?" Jiang Feng stood at the bridge bridge, looking at the endless water surface, couldn't help but open his mind, and felt relaxed, and said with a sigh: "I dare not step over the Thunder Pool, hehe, today we will arrive at the Thunder Pool, and we want to see what to do if we step over the Thunder Pool?!"
Jiang Feng's words made everyone laugh. Tian Chunlai smiled and said, "Sir, this thunder pool has changed a lot over the past few hundred years. During the Sima family in the Great Jin Dynasty hundreds of years ago, this thunder pool was actually not a lake and swamp. It was basically connected with the river water, also known as the thunder pool. However, there were more mud and accumulated everywhere, so it slowly formed an intermittent swamp, which lies across this large thunder pool. However, these swamps were thick in clouds and miasma, and the plants were very deep. Ordinary people dared not enter. Even local fishermen could only know the situation of their usual fishing. If they were a little far away, they would be difficult to understand. In addition, the mud was floating in the thunder pool and there were a lot of aquatic products. Many people went deeper to explore it, but they did not know the path and were trapped in it. Therefore, the reputation of this thunder pool became greater."
Tian Chunlai traveled out many times during his martial arts practice. He also stayed at Lei Chi, so he is not unfamiliar with Lei Chi.
Of course, the terrain in this thunder pool is vast and has a radius of hundreds of miles. In addition, the river floods every year, and the thunder pool is also unstable. Therefore, except for local fishermen, almost no one can tell the situation in the thunder pool clearly. Even local fishermen can only know the situation in this area of fishing.
"So, this thunder pool really dares not easily overcome it. But this green dragon was born in it. What should I do if I want to subdue the dragon and subdue the dragon?"
Jiang Feng looked around and was filled with reeds. Looking around, the yellow reed leaves and stalks were dense like covers, and there was no energy at first sight. The water was shimmering and the mud was floating in the mud, which really made people feel overwhelmed.
