I immediately stood up, moved a chair and sat next to her, and said, "You can speak now."

"Are you just pretending or are you really stupid? Don't you know why? There are a few days in every month where a woman's body will change." At this time, Hu Bing twisted her charming slender waist and slender legs.

, with various charms and charms on her face, she walked slowly to my side, leaned half of her body against me, then hugged me and kissed me on the forehead, then she raised her head with a smile and said, "I want to

Do not want?"

Seeing Hu Bing's watery and charming eyes, I felt a little overwhelmed.

"I'm worried someone outside heard it."

Hu Bing blew gently into my ear and said delicately: "But..."

"Caution is the boat."

"Just once..." Hu Bing snuggled half of his body into my arms and pressed tightly against my arm.

"Be obedient." I said to Hu Bing seriously, "I'm glad you can take the initiative. To be honest, you have really changed a lot, but this time is really not a joke. Once others know that you are disguised as a man, what will happen outside?

Can you still keep calm while helping others?"

When Hu Bing saw my serious face, he put away his flattery, coughed and said, "Yeah, you're right!"

"Let's get down to business first."

As I said that, I opened the map, pointed to our location, and said, "If we take our current location as the origin and Ying Zheng's tomb as the end point, we draw a straight line."

As I said that, I drew a line with a pencil, and then said: "Look at this place, this place coincides with the line on the map. We can regard each overlapping point as a node, which is equivalent to our next journey.

The route is to find nodes one by one and move along the nodes. As long as you can find the route between nodes on the satellite map and walk section by section, you will definitely be able to find it."

Hu Bing nodded and said: "Although the method you mentioned is more troublesome, it should still be feasible to operate."

"There is no other way." I sighed, "If we have the ability to offload the mountain warriors, we don't have to go to all this trouble. We can just go along the shortest route."

"Is there a river here?" Hu Bing pointed to the river between the first nodes on the map.

This river blocked our route, lying directly in front of us, and could not be bypassed no matter what.

"Have you ever heard of weak water?"

Hu Bing looked at me and said in surprise: "Weak water? I know that 'weak water only takes one scoop out of three thousand'. Is this what you are talking about?"

"right."

It is said that "weak water" is the weakest thing in the world, and even goose feathers cannot bear it. Weak water first appeared in "Shang Shu Yu Gong": "Guide weak water to Heli." Sun Xingyan's "Shang Shu Jin Gu Wen Commentary": "Zheng Kangcheng

Said: 'Weak water comes out of Zhangye.'" According to ancient books, weak water can also be found in "Historical Records of Dawan", "Hanshu Geography", "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Dongyi Biography" and Bi Yuan's Notes on "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", etc.

.

In ancient times, many shallow and rapid rivers could not be crossed by boats but by rafts. The ancients believed that the water was too weak to carry boats, so they called such rivers weak water. Therefore, in ancient books such as "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"

"Ten Continents" and other books record many weak waters that are not the same river but have the same name.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" records that there is water in the north of Kunlun, but its power cannot beat mustard, so it is called weak water. This is what it means.

. Some titles are still used today. For example, there is a weak water river on the current map of Gansu Province. Weak water is also used to specifically refer to the Poyi River or Heishui River in the northwest. Of course, it is limited to specific geography.

Works. Later ancient literature gradually used weak water to refer to dangerous and distant rivers. The more famous one is the sentence in Su Shi's "Jinshan Miaogaotai": Penglai is unreachable, weak water is thirty thousand miles away. This is the first sentence of weak water.

Once used together with a specific number. There is also a sentence in Zhang Xiaoxiang's "Water Dragon Song - Looking at Jiuhua Mountain", "The misty beaded building is a foolish guard, looking at Penglai, there is no weak water at the beginning". It is rare to see weak water in other poems

sentence. On the contrary, it is more commonly used in later novels.

In the 22nd chapter of "Journey to the West", Tang Sanzang wrote a poem describing the dangers of the Liusha River when collecting Sha Monk: Eight hundred Liusha River, three thousand weak water depth, goose feathers cannot float, and reed flowers sink to the bottom. This is the first official

The formulation of "Three Thousand Weak Waters". Mr. Lu Xun said in his "Supplement to Collection of Collections: A Brief Treatise on Chinese Geology": Although weak waters are surrounded by weak waters and isolated, what will happen... Chapter 20 of "A Dream of Red Mansions"

It is also mentioned in the fifth chapter: "What does that Taoist look like: one foot is high and the other is low, and he is covered in water and muddy. If we meet and ask where his home is, he is west of the weak water in Penglai." This also refers to a distant place.

mean.

"In fact, weak water refers to shallow and rapid rivers in ancient times. These rivers cannot be transported by boats and can only be crossed by rafts. The ancients believed that it was because the water was too weak to carry boats, so they called such rivers weak water.

."

"What's the point of this?"

"I looked at the nearby topography before coming here and found that there is indeed a river not far ahead, which is basically consistent with the direction marked on the map. What does this mean?"

"This weak water has not changed for such a long time?"

"Yes, so we can boldly assume that because it is inaccessible and the forest development is very limited, it still retains its original appearance."

"But this is just the first part. It's hard to say what will happen next."

"There will be changes later on. Change is normal, but staying the same is abnormal." I smiled, "Everything is difficult at the beginning. I have to say this is a good beginning."

"Uh-huh."

"I'm just worried that this river may not be easy to cross."

"Don't worry, we have brought the most advanced rope ladder, so crossing a river shouldn't be a problem," Hu Bing said.

"Don't make the problem too simple."

Early the next morning, before dawn, the troops had already assembled. After a night's rest, everyone was very energetic and eager to face the rapid river ahead.

Only I am not optimistic.

"Boss Hu, where do you think our rope ladder should be piled?" I pointed to the soft soil in front of me and smiled. "This river is only twenty meters wide. There is really no problem in building a rope bridge on it, but this river bed is

It is made of soft soil and there are no trees nearby. Unless we dig piles more than one meter long, this bridge will not be able to support us safely."

Zhang Liqun was also puzzled: "Yes, I've seen it. The river embankments on both sides should be filled with silt and no rock layers."

"Is there no other way? Can't we kayak or wade across the river?" Hu Bing asked.

"Of course there is a way." I pointed to the forest behind me and said, "There may be a way to use local materials, cut down trees from the forest behind us, then dig a pit one meter deep, and drive the piles firmly."

Just do it, everyone

The flames were high when gathering firewood. In a short time, we chopped down five or six tree stumps, and then drove and fixed them one by one. The rope gun easily threw the rope ladder to the other side. At this time, a brave man was needed to risk his life and sneak across the rope ladder.

, use the original method to fix the rope ladder.

There is no shortage of warriors in the team.

But this is too time-consuming and energy-consuming.

By the time we finally set up the rope ladder, it was already dusk.

But in the end, hard work pays off.

The large army successfully crossed the river.

More surprising things are yet to come. After we crossed the river, the person who crossed the river first reported the news immediately, saying that when he was cutting down tree stumps in the forest, he accidentally discovered a stone tablet on the ground with "

Phoenix totem.

Zhang Liqun was overjoyed and immediately went to check. He saw that the stele was buried deep in the soil. The body of the stele was dilapidated and the traces on it were blurry, but he could still tell that it was a phoenix.

"The ancestors of Chu took the phoenix as their totem. In the eyes of the ancestors of Chu, the phoenix was a sacred bird."

"This should be just a Chu State tomb and has nothing to do with Ying Zheng's tomb." Zhang Liqun judged.

"Spring and Autumn Playing Kong Tu": "The phoenix, the essence of fire, produces elixir points. It will not live unless it is a sycamore tree, it will not eat anything but bamboo, and it will not drink from a sweet spring. It has five colors in its body, and five tones in its song. If you have the way, you will see, and if you fly, you will fly.

Birds flock to conquer it." This phoenix is ​​the essence of fire, and is actually the spirit of fire. Qu Yuan's "Yuanyou": "Zhu Rongjie and the imperial concubine are flying, and the luan birds fly to welcome Mi Fei." "White Tiger Tong·Five Elements":

"Zhurong...the spirit is a bird, and its spirit is a luan." Luan bird, Luan, is also a phoenix. It can be seen that the ancestors of Chu regarded Zhurong and the phoenix as one, which is a reflection of totem worship.

"The ancestor of Chu was Zhu Rong. Most people in recent times thought that Dou, also known as Danzhu, was originally the god of the sun, which was the 'bird in the sun'. 'Dou' and 'Danzhu' were also named after birds, so the Chu people seemed to be the original ones."

The bird is the totem of the people.”

Because the people of Chu regard the phoenix as the incarnation of Zhu Rong, the phoenix has vast magical powers and gives people great spiritual power. There are also many images of phoenix in the cultural relics unearthed in the Chu region, such as the tiger-seat bird unearthed from Yutai Mountain in Jiangling.

Drums, tigers and phoenixes, the phoenix, dragon and tiger pattern embroidery unearthed from Mashan, Jiangling, the bronze statue of phoenix and dragon unearthed from Shouxian, Anhui, etc.

"Okay, let's camp here today. Every step of the way will be like today. It's very likely that we have only advanced a few dozen meters after a hard day's work. Everyone must be prepared for a protracted war.

.”

"Here, eat a biscuit." I took out a compressed biscuit from my backpack and handed it to Wu Honghong, "You have never experienced this kind of bitterness in your life, right?"

Wu Honghong looked at me with tears in her eyes and said: "Brother Lin Kun, there is a panic here, I am so scared..."

Chen Yina smiled and comforted: "Honghong, you can't back down now. So many people are looking at you. If you are afraid, you will be laughed at."

Although Chen Yina comforted Wu Honghong out of good intentions, from the bottom of my heart, I hope that Wu Honghong can quit on her own initiative. This kind of life is not something a little girl like her can bear.

Immediately afterwards, I thought of Chen Ziyue and how she grew up step by step from an ignorant female student to an outstanding disciple of Banshanmen.
