Chapter 3 Wuliu View 1

When Laohan Zhang saw Xu Chong's face, he greeted Li Erzi to come to the basin quickly and said to Xu Chong, "This little brother has worked hard all the way. It's not too late to sit down and drink a cup of tea before leaving."

At this time, Li Erzi also took a basin and a hand towel and greeted him and said, "Sung, wash your face first. Look at the dirt on your face."

When Zhang Laohan heard the scolding, "Second son, why do you talk to the guests at this time?" He said to Xu Chong, "Brother, this boy just can't say anything. Don't mind."

Xu Chong hasn't seen anyone for a day. At this time, he was really happy to see these two people. In addition, he has to ask them for the way, so naturally he will not know them.

At that moment, he washed his face randomly with water, picked up a stool and sat down, talking to Mr. Zhang while siling tea.

When Zhang Laohan learned that he was going to Wuliu Mountain, he looked at the late sky and said with a smile, "Listen to the accent of the little brother, he should not be from Suzhou, right?"

Xu replied, "I'm from Liaozhou."

"Liaozhou? Ha ha, the little brother should not be a native of Liaozhou. There are many old men in Liaozhou. The accent is similar to our Suzhou. They are all hard and can't turn around. I listened to my little brother's speech much better. He should have moved from the Central Plains to Liaozhou.

Xu Chong smiled without saying anything, but stopped talking.

Old man Zhang looked at it and said with a smile, "Look, it's the old man who has a lot of words. It's useless to say something. Don't mind, little brother. It's already late today. If you want to get to Wuliu Mountain, you have to walk at night. If there is much inconvenience, why don't you stay in Liuxia Town in front of you for a night? It's not too late to travel tomorrow. Wuliu Mountain is nearly 40 miles away from here!"

Xu Chong thought about it. He hadn't slept well and had a decent meal for several days in a row. It's better to find an inn in Liuxia Town for a good night's rest.

Seeing that Xu Chong had listened to his suggestion, Mr. Zhang became happy and said, "The little brother came from Liaozhou. The journey is not close. I don't know what the little brother is doing in Wuliu Mountain?"

Xu Zhong was a little impatient and said, "I'm going to see a relative. Is there any restriction on how to get to Wuliu Mountain?"

"No, no, no, the little brother misunderstood. It's the old man who talks too much. The old man thought that the little brother also went to Wuliu Mountain to learn from his skills. Since he didn't, he didn't say anything about it. However, if you have to go to Wuliu Mountain anyway, you must not miss the Wuliu View. The Taoist priest in that view is a living immortal. He asked him to calculate your fortune and see the fortune. It's not a waste of time.

Li Erzi couldn't help interrupting, "What a living fairy, guest officer, don't listen to my boss. That Wang is a Taoist priest who cheated money! Last month, I went to his place to settle a fortune. He said that my marriage was right in front of me, but it has been a month, and there is not even a sow talking to me!"

Xu Chong listened and smiled and asked Laohan, "Do many people go to Wuliu Mountain to learn art?"

Mr. Zhang said proudly, "Isn't it? In the past two months, many of the original juniors have rode to Wuliu Mountain to learn art. They have drunk the old man's tea! Let's talk about it. Why are all those young ladies so handsome?

...It's just that the old man has been here for decades. Why don't I know where I can learn any art on Wuliu Mountain? He scolded Li Erzi again, "Don't talk nonsense. Be careful that the king fairy hears to settle accounts with you!"

Xu Chong drank enough tea and regained his strength. The main reason was that he couldn't stand Zhang Laohan's chatter, so he paid for the tea and left.

It is less than three miles from the tea shop to Liuxia Town, and Xu Chong walked slowly along the only street in the town.

Liuxia Town is said to be a town. In fact, it is similar to a village in the Central Plains. It is sparsely populated and has little contact at ordinary times. It looks very depressed. The houses in the whole town are made of soil mixed with grass, which is different from the Central Plains.

Xu Chong has been walking from the west of the town to the east of the town. Seeing that he was about to leave the town, he finally found an inn, which is also the only inn in Liuxia Town. Although the inn is small, its name is very loud. It is called "Smen's House".

Xu Chong entered the store, ordered two dishes at random, and asked for a few more steamed buns. He ate it like a whirlwind, stunned the shopkeeper and the clerk. After that, I asked for a room to rest.

I was speechless all night. The next day, Xu got up early and left for Wuliu Mountain after breakfast. He had asked in detail about the route of Wuliu Mountain in the inn, and went straight to the northeast from Liuxia Town.

It is less than 40 miles from Liuxia Town to Wuliu Mountain, but only half of the journey has a real road, and the remaining half of the journey is no longer a road. Instead, it is a rather dense forest full of grass and thorns, and from time to time there are beasts and birds singing from the distance, which is very difficult to walk.

Xu Chong hasn't walked out of the forest for about two hours, but he was so tired that he couldn't walk, so he found an empty space to sit down and took out the bamboo tube he was carrying to drink water. He also simply dealt with the cuts made by thorn branches on his body.

After resting for a while, I felt that I had strength again, and then I got up and continued to move forward. After he walked out of the forest and climbed three hills in a row, he finally saw a magnificent building on a towering mountain in front of him.

Xu Chong was refreshed and accelerated his feet. Nevertheless, when he really stood in front of the building, it was already the sun and it was evening. Then the remaining light, Xu Chong looked at the building in front of him.

This building occupies a wide area, built on the mountain and distributed in a ladder-like shape along the mountain. The whole building is made of brick and wood, shining brightly in the afterglow of the sunset. There is a large plaque hanging in the middle of the gate, with five large gold-plated characters: the five willows. Below these five words, there is also a small line, which reads: Daliang Kaiming three years.
