Chapter 40: The Road to Heaven
A mouthful of sweet and cool spring water passed through Yuan Jia's throat, moisturizing his dry and weak body, and also making Yuan Jia feel unprecedented comfort. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It's like a traveler who has been lost in the desert for a long time, and finally has a sip of water when he is thirsty!
Yuan Jia drank the spring water, feeling that the fatigue on his body was swept away, and even his bones may be a little itchy because of excessive comfort, which made Yuan Jia's dantian feel a trace of warmth.
But it's also a little strange, Yuan Jia drank and drank, but he kept feeling thirstier and thirstier, and he didn't seem to be able to stop this action at all, and now all he was thinking about was drinking water constantly!
After a long time, Yuan Jia felt that he was out of the uncontrollable state just now, and his mood also returned to calm, he realized that something was wrong with this spring, and quickly stood up and looked at the old man with a smile beside him.
The old man closed his eyes tightly at this time, and he didn't seem to notice Yuan Jia's actions just now, but at the next moment when Yuan Jia looked at him, he suddenly said: "Young man, don't drink so much at once when you're thirsty!
Yuan Jia wiped the water on his face and said to the old man with a smile: "Senior, why is this spring water always thirstier and thirstier the more you drink?"
The old man smiled slightly, and then glanced at Yuan Jia and said, "That's because you're thirsty! It's like when you've been hungry for a long time and suddenly can't eat enough!"
Yuan Jia felt that there seemed to be some reason, nodded ignorantly, and didn't ask any more.
He continued to take a few steps forward, and suddenly he felt that something was wrong, although the gravity around him still existed, but what was surprising was that Yuan Jia found that the gravity had become much weaker, originally he needed to pay more physical strength every time he lifted his legs, but now although he can still feel some resistance, he can be able to walk like normal, it is almost relieved!
Yuan Jia asked this question to the old man behind him, and the old man said with the same expression: "You are used to it! It's like you see things in the dark, at first you can't see anything, but soon you can see again, because your eyes are used to the night! Now it's your body that is used to this gravity, so you don't feel too many obstacles!"
Yuan Jia let out an "oh" like a mouthful, no wonder he was not as hard as he was when he first went up the mountain! However, he now finally knew the reason why the old man Huoxiao was as light as a swallow here, maybe he had long been used to it, right?
Yuan Jia took a few steps forward with anticipation, and found that he was really much lighter, so he continued to take a few steps forward with excitement and some forgetfulness.
Watching Yuan Jia's figure slowly disappear into the clouds, the old man sighed with some joy and said, "Oh my God! I don't even believe in these two reasons, he actually believes it, how sunny this kid's heart is! Really, I didn't expect it to be so troublesome to help this sensible young man!"
After that, he shook his head helplessly, limped away from the stone he was leaning on, and walked towards the depths of the clouds.
And just as he was leaving, the words on the stone that were covered by his body were also shown because of the departure of the old man who laughed at fire, although the glyph had become very rough because of the baptism of time, but the handwriting still showed his original appearance very clearly, and the vigorous and powerful pen on it scribbled four big characters:
Fairy Spring!
After walking a few steps, the old man saw Yuan Jia standing aside, it seemed that he was waiting for him, and the old man couldn't help but laugh: "What's the matter, lost?"
Yuan Jia shook his head and said: "No, the seniors have inconvenient legs and feet, and the juniors can't help but take care of them!"
For Yuan Jia, who has learned etiquette and politeness since he was a child, even if gravity has no effect on the old man Huoxiao, but after all, he is still limping when he walks, and he really has no way to leave him there alone, this is a habit he has developed since he was a child in Meng Kao, and it may have become a part of his life and cannot be changed!
The old man snorted, and said with some disdain: "Don't look at the inconvenience of the little old man's legs, but I am much tougher than you, a young man! At least I didn't climb a mountain and I was out of breath!"
Yuan Jia didn't get angry after hearing this, but asked with a smile: "Senior, how many ways do you have to get to the place where you pick the colorful Lingzhi?"
After the old man took a sip of the wine in the wine pot on his waist, he burped and said, "Why are you in a hurry! The colorful lingzhi grows in the 'pestle field' at the top of this Chiwu Peak, and we have just started to climb now, and you are tired?"
Yuan Jia hurriedly denied: "No, no." It's just that my friend needs Colorful Lingzhi, and I really don't want to delay too much time!"
The old man laughed and said, "That can't be helped! I remember that it took me two days to climb this damn mountain for the first time, and this time it might take three days because you only have the cultivation of the True Qi Realm." ”
Chiwu Peak is known as "Tongtian Peak", it is a giant peak that cannot be seen at the foot of the mountain, and the time spent climbing such a peak is extraordinary.
After hearing this, Yuan Jia subconsciously counted the number of days, and it took him more than a day to climb Chiwu Peak from Baiyu Zhai to now, and it seems that there is still plenty of time, which reassures Yuan Jia.
Although there were clouds and fog blocking the vision and gravity interfering with the movement on the next road, this road was still walked in an orderly manner, because Yuan Jia was no longer too restrained by gravity, so his speed of climbing the mountain had also increased significantly.
And the old man Huoxiao seems to be disabled, but in this cloud and mist, he is as light as a swallow, and he always walks in front of Yuan Jia, even if Yuan Jia wants to catch up, he can only look at him.
Slowly, maybe the air above has become a little thinner because of the high altitude, and the clouds have become much lighter, and the road under their feet is slowly visible, and there is no need to worry about falling down with one foot, so the speed of the two of them has increased again, and the old man has been showing his extraordinary figure, each time it turns into a red light without Yuan Jia noticing, and then waits for Yuan Jia a few hundred meters away.
The two of them walked for a long time, and Yuan Jia looked at the sky, wanting to know what time it was, but the color of the sky was always the day he saw when he first came in, and there was no change at all, as if there was no change of sun and moon here.
"What a daze! There is still a long way to go, and we will soon arrive at the 'Fang Caozhuang', where there is no cloud interference, but you can go there to rest. The old man with a laughing smile interrupted Yuan Jia's thoughts and said calmly.
Yuan Jia asked, "Senior, what is that 'Fang Caozhuang'?"
The old man smiled and said, "Fang Caozhuang is used for mountaineers like us to rest and transition, because some people who climb this mountain are just like us for the Colorful Lingzhi, some people come for cultivation, and some people come to collect medicine. Of course, there are not only colorful lingzhi on this mountain, but also some other medicinal materials, so some people have built a small manor for people to rest, some people will come here to exchange medicinal materials, exchange all kinds of information on this mountain, and some people need a room to temporarily refine medicine, all of which can be done in this square grass village!"
Yuan Jia asked suspiciously, "Then who would have thought of building a manor here?"
The old man pouted and said, "It's a person with a sick brain, and one of those crazy people who hold the Colorful Lingzhi but want to do experiments! But if you want to get the Colorful Lingzhi directly from him, then you should change your mind as soon as possible!"
