Chapter 165: A fork in the road

After walking the straight steps, there were immediately one fork in the road after another, and I couldn't count them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoPeople will encounter many choices in their lives, and some of them are very important to know without looking, and they should be cautious when choosing, and the paths of different lives are very different. It's more about those choices that seem trivial and inconsequential.

With so many choices and so many uncertainties, it's no wonder that so many people get lost in them and live their lives in mediocrity.

The blue wolf reopened the small box in his hand and let the map flow out and spread it overhead, and it was literally a shining guiding light. The map has been studied thoroughly, so every time it encounters a fork in the road, the wolf looks up, and then looks at the road in front of him, and then points to one of them and says, "Go this way." ”

Whether the road splits in the road, there are only two or many intricate ones, and his strain speed is so fast.

Helian Xiaojiang learned the same thing, pondered the map for a long time, and walked through more than ten forks, but he couldn't figure out which one was which. In the end, Helian Xiaojiang shrugged his shoulders and followed the wolf with peace of mind.

No matter how glittering and beautiful the "Milky Way" map is, it is not as good as a "living map" that does not need to use your brain.

It began to fog again, and the gray hard stone was decorated with a thin white veil, and I didn't realize how beautiful they were. The mountain road spiraled upward, the ground was full of potholes, and the two of them unconsciously gradually slowed down the pace of the road, turning it into a casual mountain climbing activity. Then the excess lung capacity Helian Xiaojiang can be used to chat.

"Hey, did your master really raise you from a young age?" Helian Xiaojiang could hardly believe that the selfish and ruthless old man had the patience to raise a child.

The more you go up the mountain, the wider the road becomes, so that the two of them can walk side by side without walking one after the other. It is also convenient to speak. According to the map, there were as many as ten roads branching out from the fork not far ahead, and the blue wolf held the wooden box and stared at it while answering Helian Xiaojiang's question.

"Strictly speaking, that's not raising...... Ah, he just grabbed me in the mountains and stocked me. I don't have to worry about pets than ordinary people, so I started to eat occasionally in the first few days, and it didn't take long to forget about it. ”

"Forgot ?!!" Helian Xiaojiang was so surprised that he almost forgot how to walk, and when he stepped forward, his feet stumbled over each other, and he stumbled a few steps to stabilize his body.

"It seems that before me, Master also used to arrest other people up the mountain, but every time he forgot that there was this stubble, when he went to look for them again, these people disappeared from the world. I don't know if I starved to death or escaped down the mountain and ran away. Fortunately, it wasn't in a bald mountain like Penglai at the time, or I would have starved to death. The blue wolf said in a narrative tone as he walked.

From the limited description, Helian Xiaojiang used his imagination to fill in the image of the little blue wolf. The image of a dirty, lonely and skinny child living in the deep mountains and dense forests. A wave of acidity rushed to the tip of the nose.

The man who had just started to speak suddenly fell silent, and the blue wolf looked away from the map and turned his face sideways. The white mist made Helian Xiaojiang's originally ruddy face look sickly pale.

"What do you want?" The blue wolf reached out and pinched Helian Xiaojiang's pointed chin.

Helian Xiaojiang came back to his senses and found that he was sad after just imagining it, and his eyes were wet, probably red. She disguised herself as she pushed away the wolf's hand, pressed her eyelids, and swallowed. I felt almost like I was curious and continued to ask, "I wasn't thinking about anything, hey, why don't you run away?"

"I ran at first. But it's probably because I'm always contradicting him and not being soft, so I'm looked at very closely. Every time he escaped, he was caught and taught a hard lesson. It's just deliberately finding fault with me. Later, I found out that although this old man was not a good person, he had real skills, so he stayed. ”

The reasons for staying are arranged in one, two, three, four...... One of them was because the wolf had nowhere to go at that time.

While talking, the two have come to the fork in the road, which may be the most complicated and dazzling fork in the road on Penglai Mountain. It was as if a dragon had stepped on a solid rock, leaving behind paw prints of various sizes that spread outward. Helian Xiaojiang lowered his head and counted them one by one, plus the road under their feet that totaled thirteen.

Half of them are long or short, time-consuming and laborious, and the result is a dead end that needs to be turned back. There are also roads that are actually connected together in circles, and from this end you go around and around to the same intersection. And some are descending. The rest have no idea where it will lead you to Penglai Mountain. The blue wolf took Helian Xiaojiang's hand, and the two walked towards the inconspicuous road in the middle, which was also the only correct path to the top of the mountain.

Helian Xiaojiang let him lead him, and his heart was soft. The fog in the mountains flickered and grew, and two slender figures flickered in between.

Eighteen days later, I finally reached the top.

Helian Xiaojiang stretched out his arms and stretched a long lazy waist, and the blue wolf put the map back into his duffel bag, and then untied the ice release knife that was temporarily wrapped in a rag on his back.

When looking up from below, Penglai Mountain stands tall and upright like a big chimney. Now standing on the top of Penglai Mountain and looking down is a completely different scene, the sea of clouds dyed golden by the sun is close in front of you, almost within reach. Below the sea of clouds are oval-shaped islands, buildings smaller than a little thumb hidden in lush vegetation.

As far as the eye can see, the blue waters are filled with clear blue water, encircling the green island beneath you.

The sun is above the sea of clouds and is visually parallel to them. It's a wonderful, spectacular sight.

"Ah, it's so beautiful!" Helian Xiaojiang couldn't take his eyes off it.

"Hmm. The blue wolf whispered.

Not only is the landscape magnificent outside, but also the top of Penglai Mountain is very different from the front. The place where they stood resembled a large square, open and level, and the area was large.

And it was unexpectedly lively, people gathered in this place to set up camp directly in simple tents, and in front of each tent was the remnant of the bonfire that had burned last night. But there are still many people who directly hit the simpler floors. The floor beds made of this fabric are lined up one after the other. Helian Xiaojiang saw that several people lying on the ground were all dressed decently, well-proportioned and healthy.

People who come all the way to seek life are people who are satisfied with their own state of life. People who suffer do not wish they were immortal.
