This vine ladder, a total of more than 800 sections, a save is half a foot, there is no fixed place on the vine, all rely on the support of the arms, Qin Chuan remembered that when he was a child, he often had no physical strength, and he was carried down by the old Taoist with a basket. Later, when the height was a little longer, he went up and down on his own, but Lao Dao was still relieved, and connected the waists of the two with vines, every time he went on the vines, Qin Chuan always went up first, and Lao Dao followed behind, so that whenever Qin Chuan's soles slipped and stepped on the air, Lao Dao could always support him in the back, in case Qin Chuan fell off the cliff, otherwise he would not even have a companion to talk to in the future.

About the weather was getting colder, Qin Chuan sighed, stomped his feet to warm his body, watched Lao Dao skillfully wrap the vines around his waist, the sword box was still behind his back, the cloth bag was tightened with a rope, tied a dead knot of straw, and lifted the wine bag and suona on his waist one by one, and was ready to set off for climbing.

Qin Chuan said jokingly: "It doesn't matter if the rest is the sauced beef, you have to take good care of the sauced beef that was brought back from Qingzhou City, otherwise the cloth bag will be open halfway and the sauced beef will accidentally fall, then you have to go down and pick it up yourself, I don't care, master." ”

"Rabbit cub, eat and eat, you know how to eat, if this sauce beef is really so delicious, why do you buy a lot of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and change it to dozens of catties of sauce beef?"

Qin Chuan smiled: "I stuffed the four treasures of the study into the quilt, even if the cold air in the mountains wets me, it doesn't matter, this money-making thing can't have any mistakes." "Every Chinese New Year's Eve, Dragon Boat Festival and other festivals, Qin Chuan always has to write a few couplets for the nearby mountain and wild village households, in exchange for a little oil and salt, although the silver money is not much, but Qin Chuan is happy in it, after all, in addition to game, in this mountain, there are really few people, and the old Tao also knows Qin Chuan's small abacus, but the Tao is just idle and elegant in the mountains, and never stops it."

The two of them were already ready, and they stretched the vines quite tightly, Qin Chuan took the lead and began to climb up, the humidity in this mountain was heavy, and there was already a little dew on the vine ladder, which was already extremely slippery, and because Qin Chuan was carrying a quilt on his back, the weight was not light, for a young child, it was indeed a little difficult to climb such a steep cliff, and he only started to walk a few steps, and his feet were already trembling and trembling, which was quite difficult.

Lao Dao followed behind, and when he saw that Qin Chuan had only walked a few steps, he began to pant and pout, and said jokingly: "Take ten steps as a number, see if you can climb up before the full moon, otherwise one step later, you will lose a sip of osmanthus wine." ”

When Qin Chuan heard this, he came back and smiled: "Don't mind this, if I hadn't thought about this, I would have stayed in Qingzhou City for a few more days, and I heard that Mr. Storyteller talked about martial arts rivers and lakes, and smelled the good wine of various wine shops, it was really uncomfortable, if you dare to miss my osmanthus wine, then I would rather not climb now, turn around and walk towards Qingzhou City, it's really not good, take a carriage to Ningzhou City, after all, Li Xiuyan, he still owes us a big favor, ask him for money, this is not too much, right?"

It's not early, the surroundings are starting to get dark, and the cliff at night doesn't have any light source, so you can only go up along a straight line, climbing this kind of vine ladder, the most afraid is that you are bored halfway, it's a dilemma.

Hearing Qin Chuan's words, Lao Dao grinned: "We didn't go for money to save Li Xiuyan before, otherwise I would have to take care of enough wine money in the past few years." You are in a poor mountain and a bad water, but maybe you have the opportunity to go to Ningzhou City, when the time comes, you will think about it carefully and see if Li Xiuyan can remember your affection. ”

Qin Chuan had no light at the moment, he couldn't see Lao Dao's expression, and he guessed in his heart that Lao Dao must be laughing at him again, but he didn't say angrily: "Didn't you say that I would just go all over the red and white ceremonies of Qingzhou City, why do you have to go to Ningzhou City, when the road is difficult and dangerous, what should I do if I encounter a strong man in the martial arts rivers and lakes? ”

"This martial arts powerhouse is something you can meet if you want to. You really think that the martial arts rivers and lakes are like ponds, where there is water, there are fish. When Lao Dao heard Qin Chuan's words, he couldn't help but laugh.

Lao Dao said before that the road of martial arts rivers and lakes, Qinchuan can't go, Danhai, Two empty mountains, such as the sun and moon brilliance, one yin and one yang, endless, this is the foundation of martial arts cultivators, but the old Tao once spied one or two, found that these two places, Qin Chuan does not have at all, can not contain the aura of heaven and earth, let alone be able to drive the sword; 。 Lao Dao asserted that Qin Chuan is suitable for eating red and white ceremonies, practicing the rhythm well, and skillfully playing "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" and "Death Mantra", if you go to Qingzhou City to set up a stall to sell calligraphy and paintings, and write a Spring Festival couplet during the New Year's Festival, it will definitely not be worse than the down-and-out Xiucai, so planned, Qin Chuan will not be hungry after a hundred years of Lao Dao.

The two of them climbed up for several hours, and the moonlight was already getting brighter, and on the steep rock wall, only two black dots were faintly moving at this moment. Lao Dao was also sweating profusely at the moment, his back was already soaked, the mountains were wet and cold, and his hands were already soaked with dew and were a little cold, if it weren't for the vines around his waist, it would be very dangerous. Qin Chuan was carrying a big quilt on his back, panting loudly, and it was no better.

There is a kiwi tree in a protruding place, and behind this tree, there is a large stone cave, which can rest for a while, such a place, only Lao Dao and Qin Chuan know, otherwise such a long time of climbing, if there is no adjustment in the middle, it is expected that it will be difficult for the martial arts powerhouse to persevere.

Lao Dao shouted to Qin Chuan: "At this moment, when you arrive at Toad Stone, the journey is already halfway there, don't worry, go to the old place and rest for a while." ”

Qin Chuan heard Lao Dao's voice, just hummed, then opened the kiwi tree and got in, Lao Dao saw this, picked up some clean firewood on the small flat ground behind, and then also entered the cave, took out the fire fold he carried to ignite the firewood, Qin Chuan roasted his hands with a sigh, and ate kiwi fruit in his mouth and asked Lao Dao: "You said before, you don't need to climb the ladder vines and go directly to the Taoist temple, there are a few people in this world, these people, have you ever seen them?"

Qin Chuan was probably too tired to climb, and wanted to talk to Lao Dao about some interesting things about martial arts.

Lao Dao was also quite interested at the moment, and he also took a kiwi and said: "Naturally, I have seen it, but I am not familiar with it, although it is very easy for them to enter my Taoist temple, but this real martial arts cultivation path, they still owe some heat." Although these so-called leaders are famous, in my opinion, they are bound and difficult to get rid of. ”

Qin Chuan saw that Lao Dao was so serious, he always felt that Lao Dao was bragging again, and he thought about it a little in his heart, and when he heard Lao Dao say that the strong people in the martial arts rivers and lakes were nothing more than this, he asked closely: "Since you know these people so well, then you must also be famous in the martial arts rivers and lakes, have others ever called you? Don't tell me that you are a Fu Seal Master?"

When the old Taoist heard this, he laughed: "There are not many people in the martial arts rivers and lakes who know me, but there are many people who know my Taoist temple." ”
