Tomb Raiders

Chapter 34

After a few days of rest, the group of people entered Yuexiu Mountain at dawn when there was no one in the village.

Yuexiu Mountain is not high and dangerous, but it is a natural barrier to the north of Guangzhou because of its continuous hills and mountains, and because of the legend of Wuyang, it is widely spread that Yuexiu Mountain is inhabited by immortals, so the local people I am in awe of Yuexiu Mountain.

Ayun led Shen Liaobai and others into the mountain from a small path at the foot of the mountain. This is where the villagers go to the mountain to collect herbs and hunt in spring and summer. The path is clear and flat, and there is no danger.

After entering the mountain, he felt more and more damp and cold. Shen Liaobai wrapped his coat tightly around his body, and listened to Ah Yun, who was walking in the front, tell them the legend of Yuexiu Mountain.

It was only two days ago that I was able to speak, and Ayun was still a little fluent in speaking, "During the time of King Zhou Yi, the 'Chu Court' was established in the south of Yuexiu Mountain, which is today's Guangzhou. After the end of Qin and the beginning of Han, after the establishment of Nanyue Kingdom , the king of Nanyue built the 'Renxiao City' here, and later expanded it to the 'Zhao Tuo City'. The king of Nanyue used Panyu as his capital, so Yuexiu Mountain is also called Yuewang Mountain."

Shen Liaobai sighed: "This Zhao Tuo is really a character. The name 'Ren Xiaocheng' is arrogant and domineering, but it does not lose its heroic qualities."

Ayun pursed her lips and smiled, she casually broke off a grass stalk by the side of the path, fiddled with it in her hands, and said: "After all, it was a long time ago, and the people in the village rely on mountains for food, so they have no interest in these things. It’s the story of the five immortals giving away the five goats, which they like to talk about more. Almost everyone knows this story, and it’s the first story that the dolls in the village heard.”

Shen Liaobai has also heard the legend of five immortals giving five sheep. It is said that when Zhou Yi was king, five immortals came to the court of Chu riding five sheep with ears of grain in their mouths. They gave the grain ears to good people and wished them forever. There is no famine, the words are hidden, and the sheep are turned into stones.

Chu Yuyang said: "Yuexiu Mountain seems to be a famous Taoist mountain. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Sanyuan Palace was built here. I don't know where it is?"

The grass stem in Ayun's hand has been folded into a vivid bird, she handed the little bird to Shen Liaobai behind, and whispered back: "Sanyuan Palace is at the southern foot of Yuexiu Mountain, it is more lively than our village There are too many, and during festivals such as the Shangyuan Festival, the villagers will bring their prey to sell there, and they can get a lot of money."

Shen Liaobai thanked Ayun just then took the bird, it was the first time he saw this kind of gadget, he couldn't help looking at it for a while, and said with a smile: "Yingqing also made it up for me when I was young, but never succeeded. , all fell apart, Ah Yun is really skillful."

After being praised, Ayun's cheeks flushed a little, and she said shyly, "The children in the village know how to do it, and sometimes make up some gadgets and take them to the market to sell."

Chu Yuyang glanced at the bird Shen Liaobai was carefully holding in his hand, and suddenly said, "I will too."

He broke the grass stalks from the side of the road, and skillfully interweaved several grass stalks back and forth as he walked, and soon a round bird appeared between his fingers.

He handed the bird to Shen Liaobai and said, "It's made to attract money."

Shen Liaobai took it and took a closer look, and it was indeed somewhat similar to Zhaocai, even the long hair on the head was made with a trace of stems and leaves.

Seeing that he liked it, Chu Yuyang said, "I'll give it off to you, can you return the gift?"

Shen Liaobai was startled, then raised his head and said, "What do you want in return? I don't know such dexterous tasks."

Chu Yuyang took the one that Ayun had made up from him, "Then just give this one to me."

Qin Zhaonan watched this for a long time, tapped Chu Yuyang's shoulder with a fan, and said maliciously: "Hey, Mr. Chu, how can you take away the things that the little lady gave to Mrs. Shen? It's too self-assessing." gone."

Chu Yuyang glanced at him coldly, ignored him, but Ayun said with a smile: "It's okay, if you still want, I can make up something for you."

Even though the mountain road was slightly muddy due to the rain the day before yesterday, and it was unbearable to walk, the few people talked and laughed, but they didn't feel it was hard.

After walking like this for more than an hour, the path became narrower and narrower, and several places were covered by plants.Ayun explained that this is because no one went up the mountain since the end of autumn and the beginning of winter.

"Not long ahead, there is a small house for the villagers who went hunting in the mountains to rest. We can have a meal there before setting off." Ayun pushed the stems blocking the road with a branch, and asked Chu Ji Yang asked, "Are you all going to the top of the mountain?"

Chu Yuyang nodded, Qin Zhaonan gave a "tsk" and said, "Letting you speak something is like prying a clam shell. Little lady, we are going to the highest mountain."

Ayun stopped, frowned and thought for a while, "I'm afraid there is nothing Ayun can do. No one in the village has ever gone up to the top of the mountain. Everyone stopped halfway up the mountain. It’s the end of the path, and there’s no way up, only some signs made by the villagers a long time ago.”

"Where can you take us?" Chu Qianyang asked.

"Yuemo is..." Ah Yun looked back and forth at several people, bit his lip, and said: "Forget it, Ah Yun will give it a try and take everyone to the top of the mountain."

After resting in the mountain hut for a while, everyone continued to climb up the mountain.

If it is true as Ayun said, after leaving the hut, the previously looming path is completely broken. Although Ayun is familiar with Yuexiu Mountain, he will inevitably go astray. Fortunately, Chu Yuyang released Laifu early on. Flying past the dense forest from time to time, making sharp beeps for guidance.

Shen Liaobai pulled his hood, and Zhaocai groaned twice in his ears, then he laughed and said, "Zhaocai, are you going to scout the way for us too?"

Zhaocai lightly pecked at Shen Liaobai's ear, lazily retracted into the hood, squirmed a few times to adjust his posture, and then squatted motionless again.

Hanzhang poked through the hood and said with a smile, "Master Shen, why are you so... ah!"

Hanzhang cried out in pain, it turned out that Zhaocai had bitten him hard through the thick hood, he blew on his fingers, whining repeatedly.

Shen Liaobai patted the hood and said, "Don't plan to speak ill of it, it has a very narrow mind."

Wen Hao took Hanzhang's finger and glanced at it, and said, "There's not even a mark, what's the pain?"

Hanzhang curled his lips, put his hands in his sleeves, and asked Ayun who was in front of him: "Little lady, is there anything that needs attention in this mountain?"

Ayun didn't look back, parted the dense branches and leaves in front of him, and said loudly: "Don't call me like that, just call me Ayun, there are only a lot of poisonous insects in the mountains, and most of the poisonous insects go underground in winter, and our clothes are heavy , nothing serious."

As soon as she finished speaking, Laifu in front of her suddenly screamed, Chu Yuyang narrowed his eyes and made a gesture, Shen Liaobai quickly pulled Ayun back, and they stood still, staring at the surrounding vigilantly.

Soon, there was a buzzing sound from the grass in front of them. Before everyone had time to react, but in the blink of an eye, the buzzing sound was close in front of them.

As soon as Ah Yun saw what was coming, he opened his eyes wide and said in surprise, "How is it possible?"

A dozen or so huge flying insects suddenly appeared in front of them, their belly was as big as a pot, and a sharp long needle at the tail glowed with a faint blue light. One could tell that the poison had been quenched at a glance. These dozen flying insects flew very scatteredly, But when the leader saw the crowd, he screamed a few times immediately, and the flying insects stopped, and surrounded them in a semicircle.

Ayun firmly grabbed the corner of Shen Liaobai's clothes, and murmured: "Xuan Feng...this is Xuan Feng."

Chu Yuyang frowned and said, "What is Xuanfeng?"

Ayun took a few breaths, and said: "This is the name my father gave them. This kind of poisonous bees are very rare in Yuexiu Mountain. In winter, they lie dormant underground, raising larvae, and will not come out at all. Now they have entered It's time to land, why would it still appear here?"

Qin Zhaonan had already opened the fan, and he didn't know where to press it. Sharp blades popped out from the top of the fan bone. He squinted his peach blossom eyes and said: "When they first came, they moved in a panic, probably because they were frightened by something."

Chu Yuyang pushed Shen Liaobai and Ayun to the back, and quickly said: "No matter what, kill them first."

As if feeling the prey's resistance, the buzzing of the black bee became louder and louder. Chu Yuyang whistled, and Laifu let out a cry in the air, then swooped down and grabbed a black bee's belly with one claw , took it into the air, although the black bee was big in size, Laifu was a large raptor after all, when the sharp claws were clenched tightly, the belly of the black bee was already hooked out, and the black bee was swinging At the tail, he tried his best to stab Laifu, but before struggling twice, he was thrown to the ground by Laifu. The broken wings shook twice, and then there was no more movement.

Shen Liaobai heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this, thinking that although the black bees are powerful, they are no match for the natural enemies of birds, but just as he finished thinking about it, he saw the leader of the black bees screaming, and the three black bees left the encirclement. Xiang Laifu rushed over.

Laifu, who was hovering in the air, was suddenly stretched. He couldn't get rid of the three poisonous bees after several sharp turns. He also had to avoid the tail needles of the black bees. He couldn't be as good as before in a short time.

At this time, the remaining ten black bees vibrated their elytra more rapidly, and two of them rushed towards the crowd like a tentative. It entered the body of a black bee, because the force of the hedge was too strong, it cut the black bee in half at once, the venom in the poison sac splashed out, fell on the lapel of Chu Yuyang's clothes, and immediately hissed Hissing burning sound.

The other one was also cut in half by Qin Zhaonan with a fan. His fan was made of unknown material. The venom and venom of the poisonous bee slid down like mercury beads on the fan. No stains.

Chu Yuyang whispered: "Keep a distance from them, their speed is too fast, if we get closer, we may be stung before we can react."

The remaining eight gradually weakened their buzzing and approached the crowd slowly. Chu Yuyang and others protected Ayun and Shen Liaobai and retreated cautiously. During the period, Chu Yuyang also tried to attack with a blade, but Xuan The bees were extremely fast, and few of them could hit them. After a long stalemate, they only killed two of them.

Occasionally, Laifu's cry came from the sky, Shen Liaobai suddenly felt the hood move, Zhaocai pecked at his ear, spread his wings and flew out from the hood, to help Laifu.

Zhaocai is petite, almost the same size as the black bee, but Sheng is far more flexible than the black bee in turning and moving, so he often disturbs the movements of the three black bees in the air, and occasionally pecks twice with the red beak, although there is nothing big However, it finally gave Laifu a chance to breathe, the two birds cooperated, and within a short while, the three black bees fell one by one.When Laifu was free, he began to dive from a high altitude to grab the black bee with his sharp claws as before.

I don't know if it's because of nature, it's hard for the nimble bees to avoid Laifu's claws, Chu Yuyang disrupted the movements of the bees with a blade, and after a while, all the bees died.

Qin Zhaonan put away his fan, smiled and said: "It's not a big deal to have such a loud name."

Ayun breathed a sigh of relief, and said after hearing the words: "That's not the case. The black bee never comes out to move around in winter. Apart from feeding the larvae, it's also because the action is slower in winter, which is not conducive to survival. So now I can see the black bee. There must be some reason."

Hanzhang was speechless: "Is this still called slow movement?"

Ayun looked forward worriedly, and said, "I just don't know why...
