The fox demons were already about to set off, but the Taoist priests were getting closer and closer to their destination, "Tianjizi, why do I always feel out of breath?" Long Jingtian breathed heavily. Tianjizi saw that Long Jingtian's face was a little blue and his lips were purple, so he knew that this was altitude sickness.

"Looks like we're going to have to slow down, or you two will be sick. Tianjizi lowered the speed of the carriage and said to Long Jingtian and Nie Yuanfeng at the same time: "Be careful, from now on, when the carriage is carried out, you must maintain a constant speed, do not suddenly accelerate hard, and control the rhythm of breathing." ”

Long Jingtian didn't care to speak, just gulped in the air, hoping to get more oxygen. Nie Yuanfeng's body had no obvious reaction. His face was ruddy, the hair on his forehead was soaked with sweat, and he had a free hand to brush it up.

Tianjizi stopped and pointed to a winding mountain path not far away. "The road ahead of the disciples, is the only way to enter the Persian Secret Realm Fire Worship Altar, you have to follow me closely and be more careful. ”

There are occasional cars passing by nearby. The ground was crumbled by the wheels, and the mud was thrown up by the wheels and splashed on them.

Along the way, Long Jingtian and Nie Yuanfeng had become accustomed to the mud being splashed on their bodies by the passing vehicles, and they no longer made the fuss as they did at the beginning.

Following Tianjizi to the winding mountain path, Long Jingtian and Nie Yuanfeng saw it clearly, and they couldn't help but jump in shock.

It was a road suspended in mid-air, so to speak, just wide enough for a horse-drawn carriage to pass through. On the left side of the road is a mountain peak that cannot be seen when you look up, and on the right side of the road is a cliff that cannot be seen with a bottom in sight.

If it rains heavily on the mountain on the left, loose rocks will fall, and if you accidentally fall off the cliff on the right, you will be crushed.

"Remember, keep your eyes on the road and don't fall down, let alone look down the cliffs. ”

Tian Jizi repeatedly stared at Long Jingtian and Nie Yuanfeng before passing through this dangerous road.

"Tianjizi, don't worry, I will be obedient. Nie Yuanfeng's refreshing voice was like a cool breeze blowing in the heart of Xiang Tianjizi, not to mention how comfortable it was.

Long Jingtian held the carriage tightly with both hands and followed behind Tianjizi. The road surface was uneven, and the front wheels were turned upside down when they passed over these potholes, and Long Jingtian did not dare to slack off in controlling the direction, lest he fall headlong off the cliff.

"Be careful, there's a big rock ahead. Tianjizi reminded the disciples behind loudly. It was a large rock that no adult could hold, and it was probably rolled down from the top of the mountain not long ago. If someone had passed by at that time, the result would have been predictable.

Long Jingtian carefully clung to the mountain and bypassed the large rock. At the moment when he turned the stone, his gaze inadvertently shifted and he accidentally swept down the cliff.

It was this glance that made Long Jingtian's eyes suddenly black and his head dizzy. He felt lightheaded, the carriage lost control, and his body slammed down.

Nie Yuanfeng, who was running at the rear, saw Long Jingtian fall to the ground, and hurriedly stopped and shouted: "Tianjizi, Long Jingtian fainted." ”

Tianjizi turned around and saw Long Jingtian fall on the road so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, because when Long Jingtian fell, the carriage fell to the right, and his body was close to the edge of the cliff, if he was an inch closer to the right, he would fall into ten thousand feet

The abyss is no longer forthcoming.

"Long Jingtian, are you okay?" Tianjizi held Long Jingtian in his arms, only to see that his face was bloodless and his breath was weak. "Long Jingtian will be fine, right?" Nie Yuanfeng asked worriedly.

Tianjizi put his hand on Long Jingtian's pulse, and the beating of the pulse was chaotic and weak, which made him a little worried. However, Tianjizi still said to Nie Yuanfeng: "You Long Jingtian just looked at things that shouldn't be seen, and he fainted because of his high-pressure reaction." ”

What did Long Jingtian see that he shouldn't see? Nie Yuanfeng remembered the words that the day before entering this winding mountain path: "Don't look down the cliff. ”

Yes, Long Jingtian must have seen something underneath the cliff. However, what is there under the cliff? Nie Yuanfeng's curiosity was aroused, and he couldn't help but poke his head to the right side of the road to see what was going on.

When Nie Yuanfeng saw the bottom of the cliff, his heart thumped, as if it had suddenly stopped beating. It's terrifying, it's like a natural graveyard under the cliff. The carriage that accidentally fell lay at the bottom of the valley beyond recognition. What is even more frightening is that the clearly visible white bones are piled up into a hill.

It can be seen how many people have died here. Is it any wonder that Long Jingtian was so frightened that he fainted after seeing the bottom of the valley?

Nie Yuanfeng shook his head vigorously and shook himself back from his fright. He told himself over and over again in his heart to be calm, and not to be as fragile as an egg like Long Jingtian, which would break at the slightest touch.

Tianjizi had already carried Long Jingtian to the foot of the mountain. He had long thought that his disciples might have altitude sickness, so he carried a small oxygen cylinder with him.

Nie Yuanfeng saw Tianjizi insert a thin rubber tube into Long Jingtian's nostrils. Oxygen is exhaled from the nostrils into the heart, into the bloodstream, and then carried to every cell throughout the body, along with Rampum's breathing.

With sufficient oxygen, Long Jingtian's mental state was quickly restored. He opened his eyes and saw himself lying in Tianjizi's arms, so he asked, "What's wrong with me?"

"Long Jingtian, don't pretend. Have you forgotten all the things that scared you?"

"I see you're back to normal, so get up from my arms!"

Only then did Long Jingtian find that he was still lying firmly in Tianjizi's arms, his face was slightly red, and he quickly escaped from Tianjizi's arms.

The sound of a carriage came from behind him. Looking back, a small carriage was heading this way. Tianjizi pulled Long Jingtian and Nie Yuanfeng tightly to the foot of the mountain, so as to make way for the carriage to pass.

The carriage came to the crowd, and the coachman suddenly braked and stopped the carriage. A big head poked out. "Are you going to the altar of worship?"

Tianjizi replied politely: "Yes." At the same time, I looked carefully at the coachman and saw that he was a middle-aged man with a long beard and an accent.

"It just so happens that I'm also going to worship the fire altar, so I'll take you all the way by the way. The bearded man took off his sunglasses to reveal a pair of panda eyes.

"No! No!"

"Forget it, forget it, kindly take you for a while, you still don't appreciate it. I see that you city people are enjoying too much, and you have nothing to do here to find excitement. ”

The bearded man closed in anger and slowly drove the carriage forward. Long Jingtian and Nie Yuanfeng watched the pony cart driving on the mountain road, and really sweated for the bearded coachman.

Although the carriage was clinging to the foot of the mountain on the left, it was only a step away from the cliff on the right. Is it any wonder that there are so many broken carriages under the cliffs?

Under the leadership of Tianjizi, Long Jingtian and Nie Yuanfeng ran the carriage more carefully, and no longer dared to look under the terrifying cliff.

Finally ran through this road of death without danger. After traversing a tropical rainforest, they are about to reach the mysterious realm of the Altar of Worship.

"Tianjizi, how can there be a tropical rainforest in Persia?" Nie Yuanfeng was very curious when he heard Tianjizi say that he wanted to walk through the tropical rainforest, because in his knowledge base, there were only tropical rainforests in the south like Xishuangbanna in Yunnan.

"It's really better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles!" Long Jingtian listened to Tianjizi's introduction and moved this sentence out.

Nie Yuanfeng looked at Long Jingtian and shook his head, looking like he was crepe, as if something was about to gush out of his stomach. He expressed his disgust for Long Jingtian by pretending to vomit.

The earthworms crawl out of the ground because they sense the change in the weather, and maybe there will be a heavy rain here soon. ”

"Nie Yuanfeng is right, the reason why the earthworm climbed out of the ground is because of the weather. And that makes sense. Tianjizi looked at Long Jingtian, who had a face. "Before it rains, the moist air increases the moisture content of the soil, the ground warms, and the earthworms crawl out of their holes to find a suitable environment," he continues. ”

"If we don't speed up, we will have to catch a heavy rain today. Tianjizi urged.

"Tianjizi, do you really believe that the appearance of these earthworms will indicate heavy rain?" asked Long Jingtian suspiciously.

"Of course, it is important for Taoist priests to learn to judge the weather according to the reactions of various animals and plants in the field. ”

Tianjizi said and sped up. Long Jingtian and Nie Yuanfeng needed to pedal hard to keep up with Tianjizi's speed. "Tianjizi, wait, I still have questions for you!" Nie Yuanfeng sped up and chased after him, "You just said that many animals and plants can predict the future weather, is this really the case?"

Seeing that Nie Yuanfeng was very studious, Tianjizi was very happy. "Of course! Dogs, for example, have a knack for predicting the weather. "What, dogs still have this ability?" Nie Yuanfeng looked at the stray dogs around him in amazement, as if he had discovered a new continent.

"There is a proverb that says, 'The dog washes his face, the cat grazes, and in less than three days the rain comes.'" These are the experiences that people have summed up after years of observation of the living habits of animals. ”

"Haha! Nie Yuanfeng laughed heartily, "Are there any other proverbs?" "There are many!" Tianjizi said casually: "The dog bites the grass, the cat bites the grass and rains, the dog lies in the ash pile, the sky is cloudy and rainy, the magpie branches bark, and the sky is sunny when you go out, and the beecomb barks, and the heavy rain comes to the ......."

Nie Yuanfeng listened to Tianjizi's series of proverbs about animals and weather, and felt extremely novel. In the past, he only knew that humans used weather satellites to predict the weather, but he didn't expect that there were so many ancient and practical methods.
