Ordinary people want to go from Mohai City to Yanjing, and there are several means of transportation to choose from: it takes five hours by plane, 16 hours by high-speed train, and even if you take a long-distance bus, it only takes three days.

Among the three people, my uncle was the largest and heaviest, and it was really difficult for him to carry up the mountain, so I couldn't look past it, so I changed it with him, and I thought that my physical fitness was the best, and I volunteered to shoulder the heavy responsibility of exploring the way. My grandfather snorted coldly and didn't rob me, saying that young people should suffer a little in order to learn a lesson. I just think he is old and old, and I don't care.

It didn't take long for me to really learn my lesson.

Danger is always sudden. When I reached out to push away a bush, I suddenly came into contact with a sticky patch, and when I looked at it, I screamed in fright: "Snake!

While jumping to my feet, I unconsciously grabbed the poor snake in my hand and shook it up and down, panicked, I didn't expect that I could actually shake it off as long as I let go of my hand.

The two men stood very calmly to the side to watch me make a fool of myself, and my uncle even laughed heartily: "There is snake meat to eat at night!"

It wasn't until he made me teary-eyed that he would take the snake from my hand - it doesn't matter if I build a foundation or not, women are naturally afraid of such cold-blooded reptiles.

This time, my grandfather walked to the front and took a branch in his hand: "Learn a little!"

My grandfather said that many snakes will not take the initiative to attack people, as long as they are scared away. He showed me a lot of ways to 'scare the snake', which was an eye-opener for me.

There was nothing to say on the first night, and my uncle was so tired that as soon as he set up the tent, he couldn't wait to go in and fall asleep, and he didn't even eat dinner. My grandfather and I took turns keeping vigil, but we survived safely.

The next day we entered the Natural Forest Reserve, which was full of towering trees, unlike the hills where we came, which were mainly low shrubs and weeds. I never knew it would be so difficult to navigate the jungle without a compass, every tree looked the same, and I doubted I would have been going around in circles without my grandfather leading the way.

On the evening of the third day, we finally approached the legendary mountain from which we never returned.

This way, my uncle seemed the most relaxed, and now he actually sang the mountain song loudly. The tune is beautiful, but the lyrics are more infuriating, and every sentence is ridiculing us young people for not having the physical strength of an old man. I was helpless, in fact, it was not that I was physically weak, but that I had to be on guard against snakes from time to time, and I couldn't get down in a dense vegetation place. What's even more terrifying is that there are not only snakes in the forest, but also leeches, locusts, and mosquitoes are our great enemies, although they can't bite my skin at all, but the feeling of mollusks crawling on my body is very disgusting, and those 'buzzing' sounds that seem to be everywhere are simply nightmares. I couldn't bear the drinking water with unknown microorganisms floating around, the mud that stuck to the soles of my shoes and couldn't get rid of it, and the caterpillars that fell on my head for no apparent reason. If it weren't for the belief that 'I must go to Yanjing', I would have fled the forest desperately.

Do cultivators have to live in seclusion in the mountains? Children who grew up in the city tell you: Forget it!

It was true that I was naïve before we set off, and at our pace, it would have been impossible to reach Enron before the end of the rainy season.

Uncle gasped and said, "Uncle Ming, you still have the physical strength to sing, so you might as well carry me for a ride." ”

My grandfather replied to him with a mountain song: "The old man is sixty-seven years old, his head is not dizzy and his eyes are not dazzled; he can fight man-eating tigers when he goes up the mountain, and he can touch a thousand-year-old turtle when he goes down to the sea; you have a thick skin when you are a child, and you actually want me to carry it; I have never seen a person riding a donkey, but no one can carry a donkey!"

I snorted and laughed, "Then take a 10-minute break." ”

The uncle scolded: "Okay, you dead old man, you actually said that I was a donkey." Wait, don't call me to save you when you're in danger!"

"If it's really dangerous, I don't know who will save whom!" my grandfather disdained. Because he had entered no man's land, he was fully armed: two guns pinned to his waist, and in addition to my small backpack, he also had a ** tied to his back. He tightened the cuffs and trouser legs of his homespun clothes, and at first glance he looked like a bandit leader before liberation, which made me speechless for a long time. In comparison, my uncle and I are here to travel, and it is not like Ben is running for his life.

"It's not far away, speed up. It's best to spend the night at the foot of the mountain tonight, and get up early tomorrow to climb over that mountain in one go. ”

The uncle objected: "No, I always think that place is very weird, let me calculate the good luck first." ”

I saw that he was about to throw the dice out of his mouth, so I took his hand first and said, "Don't make trouble, this place is covered with grass and trees, and you can't even see the ground, don't ask us to accompany you to find it when the dice is lost!"

He thought about it and put the dice back.

As the saying goes, the mountain runs the dead horse, and we didn't reach the predetermined place until nightfall. But my grandfather didn't stop and we had to follow all the time, and as soon as he entered the forest, he was as relaxed as visiting his own back garden, like a fish in water. We each had a flashlight, and my uncle was still going to be knocked down by rocks and stuff from time to time, so I had to help him by the side. I didn't have a break at night, so I asked him to put most of his weight on my shoulders, and he didn't walk slowly.

"Alright, let's rest here tonight. My grandfather finally stopped.

At night, the forest was pitch black, and only the sound of our heavy breathing and rain could be heard. We hid in the tent and ordered a few packs of instant noodles, and each of us ate some, and my uncle was still crying out that he was hungry, but there was not much food, and he didn't dare to eat more.

"Uncle Ming, you even have an alcohol stove ready, can't you bring some dry food?"

My grandfather snorted coldly: "There is food everywhere in the mountains, what else do you need to prepare? Bark and grass roots, no matter how bad they are, they can still eat insects and snakes." ”

"Then I'd rather starve to death!" I cried. Along the way, I saw them eat snake meat raw, and I really couldn't accept it.

"Tsk, the little girl is in trouble, and she doesn't eat it. It's a pity that the wolves are now extinct, otherwise we can still taste the game. ”

"I'm worried enough now, don't come out with the whole crime of hunting and killing state-protected animals, and add to the chaos!"

After a few words of laughter with them, I went back to meditating in my tent. These days, my grandfather and I took turns keeping vigil, and my uncle's body that had been hollowed out by wine could not be counted on.

Perseverance is the most important thing in practice, so even if I am tired, I try not to stop. The aura of this place was stronger than anywhere else, and I quickly fell into a state of self-forgetfulness.

I don't know how long later, I faintly heard a gunshot. Rushing out to see, everything was intact, only my grandfather and uncle didn't know where to go!

I was in the meditation just now, and I couldn't tell which direction the gunshots were coming from, so I called out a few times but no one responded. What the hell happened? For no reason, how could these two people walk away in the middle of the night without notifying me? Thinking of what my uncle said about snake spirits and fox spirits, my heart was a little furious: No, there were really ghosts who dragged them away?

I took a few deep breaths in quick succession to force myself to calm down. Gradually, I could feel that the aura around me was converging towards the north, slowly, but continuously. Usually these energies are fluid in the air, and when this happens, it only means that they are being actively absorbed. But to be able to cause such a wide range of aura flow, how many years does that 'monster' have to practice!

"No matter how many people went in, they didn't come back, and it is said that there is a small army that is missing inside, and even the people who went in to rescue have not come out. "My grandfather's words are like being in my ears.

If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you, and you will die!

I tightened my grip on the flashlight in my hand and walked north without hesitation.
