Chapter Twenty-Six: The Road to Shu is difficult, and the twilight rain is bleak

On the way down the mountain, Hagoromo woke up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info this little guy just woke up and shouted that he was hungry and wanted to eat, and he didn't know anything about what had happened before. The three of them couldn't help but sigh, as the woman said, the feather coat was indeed enviable.

With this exclusive passage down the mountain, they quickly left the mountain. There is a small stream at the bottom of the hill that meanders to the west. From a distance, the tall mountains and rivers stand like giants on the border of China, blocking people's footsteps into Xishu. The stream was like an earthworm at the giant's feet, too small to be mentioned. In the same way, in the face of this behemoth, they are even more insignificant.

Yuqing once heard his grandfather say that if it weren't for the extraordinary natural danger in Xishu, the Yellow Emperor would have occupied this land a long time ago.

"This, so high, can we pass?" Feather was frightened by the sight in front of him.

Wan'er patted Yuyi's head and smiled, "Don't worry, I can bring you over." ”

Yuqing looked at Wan'er, shook her head and said, "No, that would consume you too much." We don't know what dangers we'll encounter along the way. ”

"Well, let's fill my stomach first. Feather Coats and the others stared at the rain and spirit with wide eyes.

"You little one, you know how to eat. Yuqing said helplessly.

Ling smiled and shook his head, didn't say anything, and went to prepare something to eat.

After a night's rest, they walked towards the natural barrier that separated Huaxia and Xishu. Wan'er's proposal was not implemented in the end, and Yuqing knew that her physical condition should not be too hard, let alone have an accident.

As soon as they entered the mountains, they realized that the road was far more difficult than they had imagined. The mountain road is narrow and rugged. The rain is at the forefront, Wan'er is in the middle with a feather coat, and the spirit is broken. Although the first part of the road was dangerous, everyone climbed up with some effort. However, the further you go up the mountain, the steeper the road becomes, and in some places you even need to climb to get up.

After nearly a morning's climb, they were only halfway there. Occasionally looking back, the view below the mountain has become farther and farther away. At this time, when I looked at the stream at the foot of the mountain, it was like a little snake swimming among the grass.

At noon, the sun's scorching energy made them sweat. Coupled with the fact that they had already climbed the mountain for a morning, the three of them were already exhausted. It was easy to find a tree with more lush foliage, and the three of them immediately leaned under the tree, not wanting to move.

Feather Coat jumped off Wan'er's shoulder and looked around. Halfway up the mountain, the trail is steep and the trees are scarce, and if you are not careful, you will fall down the mountain. In this mountain, not to mention wild beasts, even birds flying in the sky are rare. The place where they now rested was a relatively gentle slope. If you want to go any further, you must climb a bare stone wall next to it.

Yuqing took out the spirit chip, drank a sip of water, and handed it to Wan'er and Ling. Yuqing looked at the stone wall next to him and said, "If you want to go up the mountain, there is only this way." Wan'er nodded and said, "It's really difficult. "The stone wall is as high as five or six people, and although it is uneven, it is very dangerous to climb it with bare hands.

Then the spirit spoke, "Leave this matter to me." ”

"What are you going to do?" asked Wan'er.

Ling smiled slightly, and said a little mysteriously: "You will know when the time comes." ”

Yuqing looked at the stone axe in Ling's hand and seemed to guess something.

After resting for a while, Spirit got up and took out a rope made of rattan from his baggage. Yuqing saw Ling take out the rope, and asked in some surprise, "Where did you get this rope?"

"I figured I would be able to climb the mountain, so I went out last night to find something to do. With a smile, Ling grabbed the stone axe and turned around and walked towards the stone wall.

"I can't see it, his heart is quite thin. Wan'er said.

"Indeed, it is. Looking at Ling's back, Yuqing suddenly remembered some things from the past......

What the spirit wants to do is really similar to what the rain wants. He first chiseled some edges and corners into the stone wall with an axe, so that he could climb up on his own. When he climbed up, he used a rope to pull Yuqing and Wan'er up. In this way, security can be greatly improved. Of course, the premise is that his rope must be strong.

In the process of climbing up while digging the stone wall, the people below were very nervous, for fear that he would accidentally fall. It's fine to fall from such a high place, but the terrain here is steep, and if you accidentally roll down the mountain, it can be dangerous. Fortunately, Lingyou climbed up without danger, and Yuqing, Wan'er and Yuyi were also relieved.

When he went up, he looked around and saw nothing but stones. He took a deep breath, lowered one end of the rope, and shouted, "Tie it up." "This rope was made by the Spirit overnight, and it is very strong.

Soon, Ling pulled Wan'er and Yuqing up one after another. As for the feather cloak, she climbed up from the stone wall with ease, and she was still very agile. It seems that I still have some strengths. Feather said to himself proudly.

After going up to the stone wall, the road after that is easier than the previous one. Towards evening, they finally reached the top of the mountain. However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they were stunned by the sight in front of them. As far as the eye can see, the endless mountains and rivers are entrenched in front of you, and there is no end in sight. The mist drifted between the mountains, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on it. The faint red mist reflects this strange mountain and precipice, which makes it a little more soft and beautiful that is rarely seen in ordinary times.

"Wow, it's so beautiful! I didn't expect it to look like this on the mountain!" said Feather Cloak excitedly as he jumped on the ground.

Except for the feather coat, everyone else felt a little disappointed and helpless at the same time. No one would have thought that the mountain they had just climbed today was just the beginning of their journey into Shu. In the future, more hardships await them.

After being disappointed, Yuqing said: "Since it has come, it is always necessary to face it." Instead of frowning, it is better to enjoy the scenery in front of you. Well, it's really beautiful. ”

Ling smiled when he saw Yuqing, and thought to himself: Yes, don't we all come over together to do so much and do so many difficulties?

Wan'er also noticed the scene in front of her at this time, and couldn't help but admire: "Well, it's as beautiful as the scenery of our Poyang Lake." ”

"Sister Wan'er, why don't you tell us what Poyang Lake looks like. When Yuqing heard Wan'er's words, she suddenly had a whim and turned her head and said.

Wan'er nodded and said, "Okay." Our family has lived at the bottom of Poyang Lake for generations......" As soon as she said this, Yu Yi interrupted her: "Live under the water? Why haven't I heard from Brother Long? Besides, how can people live underwater?"

"We have a way to avoid water, and of course we can live in the water. When you mention your brother Long, I think of a lot of interesting facts about him......"

Three people and one fox, sitting on the top of this cloud mountain, watching the sunset, from time to time there were a few joyful laughter.

The next day, they set off again. Today's goal is to walk to the opposite mountain. After observation, they found that there was a place not far away that connected the two mountains.

When everything was ready, they cautiously walked there. Although the road to the top of the mountain is relatively wide, everyone does not dare to slack off in the slightest. You must know that if you are not careful, what awaits them below is the abyss.

When they arrived at that place, looking at the bottomless cliff below, the legs of the three of them couldn't help but tremble a little. A stone fell, and a dull sound was heard after a long time. Looking at the path with a rock wall, a cliff, and only one person in the middle, everyone's back was a little chilly.

Ling pulled the rain, the rain pulled Wan'er, and the feather coat lay on Wan'er's shoulder. The three of them leaned their backs against the rock wall, moving forward step by step. This journey, which was not far away, took a lot of effort before they finally passed. Everyone's clothes were soaked with sweat, their legs were weak, and they couldn't wait to sit on the ground to rest.

Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the feather coat on her shoulder and covered her eyes with her paws, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, it's already here." Only then did Yu Yi cautiously open his eyes and look at the three of them with wide eyes: "Whew, it's finally over." Seeing such a cute appearance, Yuqing and Ling couldn't help but laugh, and the tiredness on their bodies was much less.

The mountain they were on now had a steeper wall than the previous one, almost plunging straight into the unfathomable depths of the mountain.

It was another day, and several people finally came to the end of the mountain. On two trees near the cliff, two chains were fastened, the other end of which connected to the opposite mountain. I think someone once came here and built this chain passage so that people could pass through. Looking at this chain quietly lying across the two mountains, they couldn't help but sigh at how powerful the people who built it in the first place were.

Feather Cloak curiously jumped onto the chain and asked, "What is this?"

Wan'er pointed to the mountain opposite, smiled and said, "What do you say?" ”

"No, how can you get past such a high place with just these two black things?" said Feather Cloak, glancing at the chains that lay across the mountains, with some fear.

"Let's rest first, how to pass, tomorrow. Yu Qing said.

"Be careful!" Suddenly, Ling reached out and grabbed behind Yuqing. Yuqing hurriedly turned around, only to see a snake in Ling's hand, which was spitting out a letter and glaring at him. Yuqing was taken aback in her heart, and secretly thought that she seemed to be really tired, and she didn't even notice that there was a snake behind her.

"Thank you. Yu Qing said.

Ling smiled and shook his head, looked at the snake in his hand, and said, "Well, it's okay it's not poisonous." Oh, it looks like there's roast snake meat to eat. ”

"Roast, roast snake meat, can you still eat this thing?" said Feather in surprise. Yuqing and Wan'er also looked at Ling with the same eyes.

"Of course, I used to eat it a lot when I was a kid. Spirit blurted out.

"When you were a child?" Yuqing asked in surprise. Could it be that he remembered?

When the spirit said that, he himself was stunned. Why do I say that?

"I, I don't know. Spirit shook his head.

Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he didn't remember. For some reason, Yuqing always had a feeling in his heart that he didn't want Ling to be reminded of his past. Just like now, how nice.

In the end, Yuqing, Wan'er, and Yuyi still didn't try to eat Ling's roast snake meat.

When night fell, after a tiring day, everyone went to rest early. The spirit tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and kept trying to recall something in his mind......

After the night, the spirit got up very late, and was awakened by the rain.

"What's wrong, are you feeling unwell?" asked Yuqing with concern.

Ling shook his head and said, "It's okay." So saying, he stood up, looked at the two chains, and said, "Do you think of how you got there?"

"Not yet. Yu Qing said.

Ling smiled slightly and said, "I've already thought of it." ”

"You got it in mind?" Rain couldn't believe it.

Ling said: "Yes, I ate roast snake meat yesterday, and my head suddenly opened up, and I thought of it. ”

Yuqing glanced at Bai Ling and said, "Don't be kidding, let's talk about it, what can you think of?" ”

"Follow me. With that, the spirit walked over to the chain, took out the stone axe, and poured spiritual power into it. I saw that the stone axe slowly grew larger, and when it was almost bigger than the tree next to it, it stopped. Then the spirit placed the enlarged stone axe on the two chains and said to the two, "Let's stand on it and urge it to carry us through with our spiritual power." ”

Wan'er's eyes lit up and praised: "Yes, why didn't I think of it!"

Feather Cloak jumped up at once, and said with a dance, "It's so fun to sit on the axe." "I don't have the same fear I used to have.

Yuqing said: "It's just, can we support such a long distance?"

Ling said to Yuqing: "Believe me, you can definitely do it." ”

Yuqing looked at Ling's determined eyes and nodded, "Okay." ”

So, the three of them got on the stone axes one after another, and together they used their spiritual power to urge the stone axes under their feet to move forward. Beneath the chains, layers of clouds drift through it. Feather looked at the scene under his feet, as if he was no longer as scared as before.

After the efforts of the three of them, they finally crossed the chain bridge, which was not a bridge, without danger.

The road after that is roughly the same as before. There are thrilling cliffs, steep rock walls, strange rocks, deep ravines, and of course, the beautiful scenery that coexists with the danger.

After a few days, the mountain finally eased, which made them feel more happy than ever. It's finally time to get out of here!

But at this time, the sky became gloomy. Seeing that it was about to rain, the three people walking halfway up the mountain hurriedly looked for a place to shelter from the rain. Perhaps they were really lucky, and they found a cave very quickly. It seems that this cave must have been inhabited.

The sky grew darker and darker, and occasionally a bolt of lightning struck, followed by the rumbling of thunder.

Inside the cave, they had already made a fire.

"Phew, it's good we found such a cave, otherwise it would have been terrible. Feather Coat lay down in front of the fire and said happily.

"yes, I don't know who dug it up, we really have to thank that person. Yu Qing said.

Soon, the sound of rain could be heard outside. Raindrops fell on the stone walls and leaves, and at the same time, lightning and thunder followed, as if the heavens were angry.

Listening to the sound of rain and thunder, everyone stopped talking, and Wan'er was even more irritable.

Suddenly, in the midst of the thunderstorm, there was a faint sound of blades intersecting. When Wan'er heard this, she immediately got up and went to the entrance of the cave to look. Ling and Yuqing got up one after another and followed, Yuyi looked up and saw that the three of them had walked away, and she also ran over curiously.

At this time, it was very dark, and a group of people could be faintly seen in the distance. On closer inspection, it turned out that two people were surrounded by a group of people. Yuqing looked at the group of people, suddenly his face changed slightly, and said, "Could it be that it is from the Jiuli tribe?"

"How do you know?" asked Ling.

"Grandpa told me that every Jiuli people, since birth, will have a so-called 'demon god' pattern printed on the left side of their face. I just vaguely saw that one of the people in that group seemed to have a ...... on his face."

Before Yuqing's words were finished, Wan'er suddenly said excitedly: "Yes, it's him!

Yuqing looked at Wan'er and asked a little puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Wan'er pointed to the group of people in the distance, and said in a trembling voice: "It's Long Jing!" Although it's just the back, I know it must be him!"

Hearing the word "Dragon Mirror", Yu Yi suddenly became interested: "What? is Brother Long, where is it?"

"No, he must be in danger, I'm going to save him!" said Wan'er, and was about to go out. Yuqing hurriedly grabbed her and said, "It's raining now, your body ......"

Without waiting for Yuqing to finish speaking, Wan'er couldn't wait to break free of Yuqing's hand and ran into the rain.

Yuqing and Ling glanced at each other, nodded at the same time, and followed.
