Chapter 19: The Mountain Road
The cliffs, as if split by the axes of the gods, are so steep that the wild apes cannot climb them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Below the info cliffs is a rushing dark river with a rushing water. Even if you don't fall into pieces, you will be swept away by the river and go nowhere.
"I'm scared." Ji Yayun said tremblingly, just as she didn't know which crack on her head had fallen out of a few gravel pieces, which frightened her and screamed in horror.
Ji Yawen pursed the corners of her mouth, controlled herself not to look down, and grabbed one of her hands, the palms of both of them were wet, revealing uneasiness and nervousness.
At this moment, the four of them were walking on a winding path, with a steep cliff on one side and an abyss full of danger on the other. The trail is less than two feet wide, not enough for two people to walk side by side. And whether it was a cold wind blowing, as if it wanted to blow them away. Frightened, they all chose to lie on the stone wall and move forward.
This mountain peak strangely blocked everything related to spiritual power, and the spiritual energy could not be used normally, and even the divine consciousness was shielded and isolated. The four of them here are no different from children in the mortal world who are powerless.
"Don't look down." Although Jiang Luo's legs trembled, she still raised her voice softly and comforted her: "Look at how steady Ah Li walks." ā
The three of them tried their best to stick their whole bodies against the wall, trembling with every step, always worried that they would not be able to grasp the balance of their bodies and fall down. However, Jiang Li was full of interest in supporting the cliff, walking forward quickly for a while, turning back to find that they were lagging behind, and then walking a few steps back, waiting for them at the same time, he also leaned over to look at the river below with great interest.
Ji Yayun tugged at the corners of her mouth, squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said in a trembling voice: "She is an ignorant and fearless." ā
Jiang Luo smiled bitterly, feeling that Ji Yayun's words were really right. If he is two years younger, he may be like Jiang Li, who only knows how to be fun and interesting, but does not understand the danger, so naturally he will not be afraid. In another year or two, she will know how to be afraid, and naturally she will not be as casual and bold as she is now. It turns out that as I get older, it is my own courage that gets smaller.
She remembered what her aunt and master had said to her: cultivating immortals is to swim against the current, in this process, you must constantly overcome obstacles, conquer difficulties, and most importantly, overcome yourself, make yourself stronger and stronger, in order to truly understand the meaning of cultivating immortals and embark on the avenue.
Thinking of this, Jiang Luo took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, carefully straightened up, and let go of her hands. With your head held high, your eyes firmly on the road ahead, you take the first step slowly but firmly.
"Aluo, you're crazy, why do you let it go?" Ji Yayun was shocked.
Another strange gust of wind blew, Ji Yawen's whole body was tightly attached to the mountain wall, twisted his neck, and said urgently: "Ah Luo, stick to the mountain wall quickly, it will be blown away by the wind." ā
"I did." Jiang Luo smiled with joy, and a faint sense of pride was born in her heart, "I'm not crazy, I just want to defeat myself and bravely embark on the road of the road." After speaking, Jiang Luo took another steady step.
Jiang Luo walked very slowly, but landed firmly on the ground with each step, and then stepped out with the other foot. Her eyes were shining, and there was a strange look that lit up her entire face and made people respect.
Ji Yawen couldn't help but be stupid.
"Come on, there are mountains on both sides of here." Jiang Li's excited shouts came from ahead.
Ji Yawen came back to his senses, blushed, and buried his head, not daring to let Jiang Luo and Ji Yayun see his embarrassment.
The sheep intestine trail turned a bend where Jiang Li saw, and there was no longer a panick-inducing river on the other side of the road, replaced by a steep wall as steep as the other side. The two mountain walls face each other, and a path is sandwiched between them, like a thin line. The falling sunset was completely blocked from the side of the mountain, and the mountain road became dark and deep.
"Do you have to go this way? I don't dare. Ji Yayun hid behind Jiang Luo and Ji Yawen, but she felt that it was not safe behind her, so she quietly moved two steps forward and let Ji Yawen stand behind her.
"Let's go." Jiang Luo relied on herself and didn't hold on to the mountain wall, and her heart was happy and satisfied, making her whole person feel as if she had been reborn. There is no more hesitation or fear for the darkness in front of me.
Ji Yawen helped his sister and said calmly: "Ah Yun, those who cultivate immortals should be fearless. ā
"Hmm." Cultivating immortals has been Ji Yayun's goal since she was a child, as soon as she heard that it was related to cultivating immortals, she could bear anything, even if she was trembling with fear in her heart, she had to be brave. My brother is right, those who cultivate immortals should be fearless. If you are afraid, then what kind of immortal should you cultivate, go back to Yue as soon as possible to be the princess of the stars and the moon, and live a mediocre life.
The path narrowed and narrowed, and then it reached its narrowest point, where only one of them could walk sideways. The cliff was so high that the light from outside could not penetrate at all, and it was so dark that you could barely see the people in front of you. Only when I looked up and saw a glimmer of misty skylight, it was really a veritable glimmer of sky.
"Ah Li, are you in front?" Jiang Luo walked and walked, worried about Jiang Li who was running around in front of her.
Jiang Li heard Jiang Luo's scream and ran back a few steps: "Here, I'm here, it's too dark here, I can't even see you." Ah Luo, do you have a flame charm? ā
As the name suggests, the Flame Fu can produce flames, and with fire, there is naturally light. With the light, they don't have to walk so blindly.
Jiang Luo hesitated: "Yes, yes, but there is no way to drive the aura here, and I don't know if it can be used." ā
"Try it, and don't waste anything anyway." Jiang Li instigated.
Jiang Luo took out a flame talisman from the goodness and entered the spiritual power, and the talisman paper was softly sandwiched between Jiang Luo's fingers, without any reaction.
"It didn't work." Jiang Luo couldn't hide the disappointment in her tone, she didn't want to try just now, she just knew that there was little hope and didn't want to be disappointed. But in this strange place, there is more hope if you can use spiritual power, so I still have hope, but unfortunately I failed.
Suddenly, a warm orange fire lit up behind them, and the two of them turned their heads in surprise, only to see Ji Yawen holding a thin long fire fold in his hand. There was only a soybean-sized fire on the fire fold, and in this dark place, the fire seemed to be full of hope and warmth.
Ji Yawen said embarrassedly: "I always carried it, but I forgot to take it out." ā
"Yes, my brother is used to carrying fire folds." Ji Yayun was stunned, and then complained dissatisfiedly: "You didn't take it out just now, causing me to hit the stone wall a few times." ā
"Didn't I say I forgot?" Under the firelight, Ji Yawen's face was still an unstoppable flush, could he say that all he was thinking about just now was Jiang Luo's firm and persistent appearance on the cliff? The light in his eyes seemed to be engraved into his heart.
Jiang Li didn't know what he was thinking, and said with a big grin: "Forget it, forget it, don't be embarrassed, the road ahead has become wider, let's hurry up, maybe we can go out." ā
Ji Yawen: ......
Sure enough, beyond the narrowest place, the sheep intestine path slowly turned into a wide flat avenue. The cliffs were gradually left behind by them, far away from them.
"Oops, I finally came out, that place was so depressing, I would never dare to come alone." Ji Yayun touched the sweat on his forehead.
Jiang Luo smiled: "If I have the chance, I would like to try again, such a place may be a good place to cultivate." ā
Ji Yayun was puzzled: "I don't even have much cultivation of aura here, brother, don't you say?" ā
"I think Ah Luo is right, you can exercise your mind here, most of the monks' minds are very strong, and they are all slowly trained, Ah Yun, you also have to train yourself well, right." Ji Yawen said word by word.
"Oh." My brother has become a cultivator, it's really boring, I'd better go find Ah Li. Alas, I'm now down to a common topic with a little doll.
The afterglow of the setting sun has been retracted by the sun, and the night covers the land.
The four of them were depressed to find that there was no way in front of them.
What is the most unlucky? It's not about spending a dark and helpless night alone, or walking over a cliff that can be shattered at any moment, but when you're ready for everything, you look back and find that there's no way out.
Jiang Li and the others are facing such a situation now, there is only a thick stone wall in front of them at the moment, which just blocks their way.
"It's like a stone door." Jiang Li touched it up and down, left and right, and finally determined that this was a stone gate.
"So there must be a cave behind this." Ji Yayun asked.
Jiang Li nodded.
Ji Yawen was puzzled: "However, who would build the cave mansion in a place that hinders the aura?" ā
That's right, the most important thing in cultivation is to have a smooth flow of aura, and aura here has almost no effect, who established the cave here, isn't it purely for himself to find trouble. I can't even get out.
"Huh? There are words here. Jiang Li pointed to the top of the stone gate in surprise.
Ji Yawen hurriedly leaned over to look at the fire fold, and after a while, he turned his head embarrassedly and said, "I don't seem to know him." "He is the prince of a powerful country, since he was a child, he has to know astronomy and geography, and he must know the words of all countries, and he can speak the words of all countries, which is his basic homework, but he has really never seen these three words in front of him.
"Stupid, I'll take a look." Ji Yayun snatched the fire fold and stood on tiptoe to look. After a while, he turned around awkwardly and said with a dry smile: "I don't seem to know each other." ā
"I'll take a look." Jiang Luo sighed secretly and took the fire fold, Jiang Li was still young and had limited literacy, so he didn't count on her.
Jiang Luo stared at the words on it, looked at it carefully for a while, and thought about it in her heart for a while before she said: "This is an ancient text, and few people know it now." ā
In ancient times, there were not 10 million years from now, but 8 million years, which belonged to the old ancestors. Now I don't know how much processing and evolution the word has gone through to form the current font. If you are used to seeing the words of the present, who will study what the words of the past were like.
"What's that written?" Jiang Li asked.
Jiang Luo looked at the words and read them word by word: "Tianji Cave." Then he was surprised again: "Ah, it's actually Tianji Cave." ā
"Huh?" Jiang Li then showed a look of disbelief: "Is it really Tianji Cave?" It turns out that there really is a Tianji Cave. ā
Ji Yawen and Ji Yayun were surprised to see the two of them singing and harmonizing, and they were confused.
"What's wrong with Tianji Cave, is there anything special that makes you so surprised."
"Of course, the Heavenly Machine Cave is a place where you can spy on the Heavenly Machine." Jiang Li said mysteriously.
"Really?" Ji Yayun was skeptical.
Ji Yawen's steady face also showed a look of suspicion, he heard the story of the "Tianji Cave" told by the national teacher. The "Tianji Cave" in the story always appears in that dangerous and dangerous place. The protagonist in the story always has to go through many levels, fight with monsters, fight wits with heaven and earth, and finally get his wish after a lot of hardships.
In comparison, they seemed too simple and smooth, so they fell and walked a mountain trail.
Jiang Luo also said: "There has always been a rumor in the sect that Tianji Cave is in the Kunyue Mountain Range, and every year there are many other sects that have heard of this rumor, and they send people to come in to find it, but unfortunately no one has been able to have this opportunity, I didn't expect us to break in by mistake so much." ā
Jiang Li curiously put his hand on the stone door as black as black iron, the cold touch was a little longer, as if the temperature had warmed up a little.
"Hey, this hole is alive."
