The straight-line distance from Luzhou to Yingzhou is actually similar to that from Xuancheng to Luzhou, but in fact, it is far from walking.
Between these two states, there are many prefectures, counties and villages, and all the mountains, rivers and lakes, so the roads are also very tortuous.
If you choose to follow the official road, it will be safe and stable, but you have to take a lot of roads and delay a lot of time.
Although Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai still have more time to arrive in Luoyang before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Sun Yixie is a person who particularly likes to take advantage of tricks in his personality.
So... when they walked for a few days and arrived at the foot of the mountain at the top of the Qing Peak, Sun Yixie proposed an idea: "Let's go over the mountains, and we can save at least two and a half days."
Although Huang Donglai muttered a few words, he did not strongly object.
This is also his personality weakness: Huang Donglai often makes the right choice when encountering important major events in life, but he is often worried about gains and losses in many "small things" and it is difficult to make a judgment. At this time, if he has someone like Sun Yixie who likes to make ideas around him, he will be easily convinced and then be cheated with his brothers.
So, they entered the mountain like this.
The mountain road was very slow at the beginning, otherwise Sun Yixie would not think it would be a good idea to cross the mountain. But after walking for about a long time, the gentle slope in front of them began to turn steep slopes, and people rode horses... also turned into people pulling horses. Judging from this trend, if the slope was a little steeper, people would have to change their backs.
At this time, Huang Donglai's hindsight complaint naturally began.
Of course, Sun Yixie has long been used to this, and with his cheeky face, he said, "Isn't it because you didn't firmly stop me?" He could turn the blame to his brothers 30%.
If you continue with a moral question: "Are you and my brothers the same mind?", then the responsibility for this matter will be basically 50% open.
In this way, the two of them relieved their fatigue and negative emotions while slandering each other and insisted on moving forward.
Before I knew it, it was dark.
There are barren mountains and wilderness, people are trapped in the crowd... I won’t mention this.
For Sun Huang and the others who were about to sleep in the mountains, the real trouble was that there were 80% wild animals on the mountain.
Not to mention tigers and bears, even wild boars are enough for them to drink a pot now.
Although Huang Donglai's martial arts are good, those martial arts moves are all fighting skills between people and are not used to deal with animals. Unless he has more than twenty years of internal strength and can break the mountain rock with one punch, otherwise... just by punching, he is afraid that he will not be able to defeat the beast that is bigger than himself.
Take Wu Erlang as an example. Is Wu Song able to kill a tiger because of how exquisite his martial arts moves are? Obviously not... He can win because of his strength, speed and reaction that is enough to deal with a cat that is bigger than himself... In other words, judging from the book data alone, Wu Song is only stronger than Captain America, of course that's off-topic...
If Huang Donglai had practiced a longer or bladed weapon, he might have a chance of winning when facing jackals, tigers and leopards. After all, tools are the biggest advantage of humans in physically fighting animals. Unfortunately, he is using hidden weapons... If this thing is not done well, it will not only not kill wild beasts, but also anger the other party. Even if he can poison the hidden weapons, the poison will be prepared for people. Will it be useful for animals and how long it will take effect... it is hard to say.
As for Sun Yixie... he has a handy weapon, but his physical fitness and martial arts are still a bit bad.
In short, the night in the deep mountains is very dangerous for both of them.
They even had already discussed in advance: if they were really attacked by a large carnivore, they would send the horse to their own way at the critical moment and run away.
Of course, their horses thought the same way: if they really encounter an attack from a large carnivore, we will leave these two wastes and run away.
Rumble
There is a saying that the house is leaking and raining all night.
Just as they were about to find a tree to lean on, just after a night, a dull thunder came from the sky where the dark clouds covered the moon.
This is great. In addition to being eaten by wild animals, they also increased the risk of being struck by lightning and being exposed to the rain.
There was no way, the two of them could only cheer up, lead the horse, and continue walking forward, hoping to find a cave or a valley where they could shelter from the rain.
Just as the rain was about to fall, the physical and mental fatigue of the two was almost at its limit, suddenly...
A flash of lightning cut through the dark night sky and illuminated the earth in an instant.
In the fleeting light, Sun Yixi narrowed his eyes and just saw a hooked outline behind the forest dozens of meters away.

A few seconds later, when the thunder sounded, Sun Yixie had confirmed that what he saw should be a corner of a certain eaves.
"Brother Huang, there seems to be a room over there!" The next second, Sun Yixie quickly called Huang Donglai.
When Huang Donglai heard this, he immediately turned his head and looked in the direction Sun Yixie pointed, and muttered: "It's true? Brother Sun, you're not hallucinating, right?"
Sun Yixie did not have an illusion. After they walked in that direction for a while, there was indeed a dilapidated temple located in the mountains and forests.
There was already a door panel missing at the temple gate, but the old plaque on the door was still there, and there was a three-character mountain temple written on it.
In Daji, a small temple called "Mountain God Temple" may not count with eight hands, and there are them on the mountains everywhere, so they will not delve into the uniqueness of the mountain god on the top of Qingfeng.
Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai only knew that the rain had already been poured down like a waterfall. If they didn't go in to shelter from the rain, they would become chickens.
Finally found a place with a tiled covering the body, and the two of them suddenly felt the strength, dragged their horses and trotted all the way into the temple.
The temple gate outside is connected to the courtyard wall, which is equivalent to a wall. After entering, there is a very narrow courtyard, and there is a Buddhist temple inside. Although the temple is small, the roof of the Buddhist temple is quite exquisitely built. It can be said that the eaves are curved and the four ridges are far away. There is also a ridge beast carved on the two corners of the top ridge, which looks like Pisces, which looks very beautiful.
Of course, Sun and Huang were not in the mood to care about that. They tied the two horses to the pillars outside the Buddhist temple, ensuring that the horses were also blocked by the eaves, and then quickly stepped into the Buddhist temple.
Then, they patted their clothes and shook their heads like two dogs that had just been roaming in the rain, and dusted off the water from their bodies.
At this time, because the Buddhist temple was also pitch black, there was only a little light at the door, and the thunder and rain were loud, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai took it for granted... Before they came in, there was no one in the Buddhist temple.
Unexpectedly, just as they took out the fire note and were about to find a candle to make some light.
