Chapter 21: Lightning strikes
The vast sea of snow-capped mountains and clouds, boundless, snow-white ridges and dark shadows rise and fall together, like layers of waves, mixed with white waves tumbling forward, until they gradually fade away, blurring at the end of the distant sky. The faint cyan smoke in the air shrouded everything in front of him in www.biquge.info ethereal.
In mid-air, on the cliff wall of one of the tallest giant peaks, Yun Shan turned his head, retracted his gaze, and pressed his face and upper body against the rock face, "Whew... Call... As a mouthful of white breath came out, the rapid breathing gradually calmed down. Controlling the slightly trembling right arm, he stretched out his head above his head with a "poof", penetrated the layer of ice and snow on the surface, and steadily inserted himself into the rock, and his right arm tried to hook it a few times to make sure that the rock was very strong, and then the arm pulled his body up.
In this way, the limbs are used together, and each time, whether hand or foot, they are deeply stuck into the rock. Although the climb speed is not very fast, it can even be said to be very slow, but there is no other way. This rock wall is not only covered with ice and snow and smooth and difficult to climb, but also constantly blown by the biting cold wind, which will inevitably stiffen your hands and feet, and if you don't hold on to the rock face, you will easily fall down.
As he continued to climb upward, the cold air around him became thicker and thicker, and finally Yun Shan felt that his limbs were numb, and he knew that he could not continue, so he gritted his teeth and jumped sideways, jumping onto a protruding rock not far away.
Climbing on the platform at the top of the rock to stabilize his body, he took out an emerald green gourd from the storage bag, and quickly poured a few sips, and as the liquor went down, a stream of heat suddenly rose from his abdomen and dispersed into his limbs, and the feeling of stiffness and numbness in his body disappeared.
"This monkey wine is really a good thing, no wonder Uncle Dayong tasted it, every time I went back to the city, I had to ask for some before I stopped, but fortunately I kept it tight, so I left such two gourds. If you don't have this wine to keep warm, it's really troublesome. I didn't expect it to be so cold on this giant peak! The chill on those dwarf peaks below was nothing compared to the 10,000-year-old chill here. β
Yun Shan said to himself as he raised his head and looked up along the mountain wall.
The snow-white mountain walls stretch to the left and right, as if to obscure everything beyond the sky. On the smooth and bright white ice and snow on the surface, there are occasionally gray-black mountains exposed, as if they were black scratches on the white jade.
Such a white jade mountain wall leads upwards to the dark flowing clouds, and at this time, when looking up at the place where the cloud mountain is, the clouds and mist are already very low. Roughly estimated, if he climbed and traveled at his current speed, he would be able to enter the cloud in about a day.
Seeing the hope of reaching the top, Yun Shan couldn't help but feel a little joy and excitement in his heart, put away the wine gourd, put his body and limbs on the rock wall, and continued to climb.
However, the sky did not follow people's wishes, and every time he climbed up, the cold also increased by one point, and the speed of progress became slower and slower, and the frequency of drinking monkey wine became higher and higher. Later, the heat generated by the monkey wine could only barely resist the invasion of the cold outside, and as long as the stomach was empty, it would be cold and stiff.
Yun Shan reluctantly poured the last half of the gourd wine into his stomach in one go, and accelerated the speed of climbing upward. But it didn't take long for the wine in his stomach to melt clean, and there was no heat current, but the cold from the outside seemed to be even more violent, and they poured into his body, and in just a moment, he felt numb all over his body, and he was almost unconscious.
Staring at the clouds and mist in front of him, Yun Shan was very unwilling in his heart, could it be that he was so close to the peak, but in the end he still had to end up in failure?
rummaged through the storage bag for a while, and finally found two fire-type demon pills.
"Hope this helps!" Yunshan Secret Road.
With the idea of trying, I ate the two demon pills, and as soon as the demon pills entered the abdomen, there was a trace of warm current oozing out, although it was very weak, but it was better than nothing.
Yun Shan seemed to grasp the life-saving straw at once, one arm clasped the rock wall, and the other hand kept taking out the demon pill. I didn't care what type it was, so I swallowed it one by one, until I stuffed all the hundreds of demon pills in the storage bag into my stomach, and then I stopped.
At this time, the stiffness on his body has gone for the most part, Yun Shan took this opportunity to climb up quickly, after those demon pills melted, in addition to releasing a faint warm current, more of a strange liquid seeped into the musculoskeletal, Yun Shan felt as if he had inexhaustible strength in his body at the moment, and he advanced several feet away with a vertical leap, as the dark cyan cloud continued to approach, I don't know if it was the reason for being too excited, even the heartbeat became very fast, particularly powerful, and the beating was gradually intensifying.
As more and more demon pills melted in his abdomen, Yun Shan felt that his body gradually began to swell and ache, and then the pain gradually intensified, as if the musculoskeletal body was being torn apart inch by inch.
The kind of sharp pain that seemed to penetrate the soul struck, and even if he was extremely determined, he could not continue to control his body to climb upward. I could only grit my teeth on a rock, and the worst thing was that the pain showed no sign of subsiding but was still gradually increasing.
As the pain intensified, Yun Shan felt that his eyes were gradually becoming blurry, but fortunately, he was in the midst of ten thousand years of cold air, and there was constantly a biting chill stimulating his nerves, so that he could barely stay awake.
Finally, it seemed that the pain had reached the limit of what mortals could bear, and as if he wanted to vent all the unwillingness in his heart, he struggled to open his arms, raised his head to the sky, and let out a loud cry that resounded through the sky.
"Ahγγγγγγh
The sound seemed to pierce the sky and tremble the universe.
This cry seems to have left the world and returned to Hongmeng.
As if receiving a response from heaven, at the same time as this sound was made, a thunder light the thickness of a bucket, accompanied by the electric sound of "Zizi", broke through the sky in the distance, and meandered among the clouds, and in an instant came to Yunshan, I don't know if there was a reason or no reason, facing him as a hood.
Lu Yunshan only felt that he had a dream.
In the dream, he returned to his mother's warm embrace, was gently rocked, listened to the familiar lullaby in his ears, and sucked the luscious milk, gradually, heartily, fell asleepγγγγγγ
In the dream, he returned to Xiaohu Village, and saw the blue water like a mirror, and rode excitedly on the back of Xiao Hei, swimming to the depths of the lake, and the fat whitebait was swaying back and forth at will in front of him, but every time he reached out to catch it, it was goneγγγγγγ
In the dream, he returned to his small courtyard. Under the golden thatched eaves, she sat with her sister on the threshold of the green bamboo, happily watching her sister eat the half of the candy man in her hand, and when she was about to play with her two wobbling pigtails, she "giggled" and ran awayγγγγγγ
In the dream, he drove the leaf boat again, and a green person floated on the surface of Yuquan Lake, she smiled in the golden morning light, and stretched out a slender jade hand to him. He was about to get up to pick him up, but suddenly a big wave hit him from the lake, knocking him down into the lake, and he was carried by the lake, and gradually moved farther and farther away from the green figure.
γγγγγγ
Nanhuang Mountain is a low mountain located in the southern corner of Qingwu Prefecture, and at the bottom of the mountain are mostly lakes and rivers, where many rivers from the north converge to form a torrent of water into the South China Sea.
It is named after the abundance of a type of fish that is large and tender, delicious and loved by the locals. And every spring, the river will swim upstream, arrive at the lake at the foot of Nanhuang Mountain to spawn, this is a good time for fishing.
In early spring, although the sky is clear and the sun is shining, the river is still very cold. Cuicui squatted on the bow of the canopy in a gray burlap dress, rolled up her sleeves and plucked a fish that had crashed into the mesh, threw it into the basket, and skillfully sent the net into the water.
At this moment, the fishing net in her hand suddenly flickered, almost breaking the worn-out hemp rope floating on the surface of the river. When I looked up, I saw a dark thing caught in the river by a fishing net, and if I didn't pick it up immediately, the old fishing net would probably be destroyed.
"Grandpa! Grandfather! The net hung on a black log, and if you don't pick it up quickly, it will be destroyed. Cuicui hurriedly turned around and shouted into the cabin.
"Where?" As soon as he finished speaking, an old man with a white beard ran out of the cabin, and the weather was warm and cold in early spring, but the old man wore only a sleeveless linen shirt, revealing the strong muscles on his arms, and if he did not look at his face, he would probably be recognized as a young man.
"Over there!" Cuicui stretched out a frozen red hand and pointed it to the old man.
The old man immediately skillfully steered the boat and rowed towards Cuicui's point.
As the canopy boat slowly approached, the eyes of the grandfather and grandson gradually changed from the initial anxiety to confusion and surprise, and the old man's eyes were mixed with an indescribable strange taste.
"Grandpa! How does this black wood have hands and feet? Cuicui pulled a strand of hair down from her forehead and asked suspiciously.
"How do I know? Maybe! It's a refinement.,Hehe.γγγ The old man shrugged, blew his beard, and laughed.
"Humph! Grandpa, you're scaring people again! Seeing that the girl pursed her lips and looked unconvinced, it seemed that the old man's nonsense had no effect at all.
Soon the boat came to the side of the pitch-black log, and the girl and the old man looked at each other suspiciously, and then reached out together and dragged the black log onto the canopy boat.
"Ahγγγγγγh As soon as her hands let go of the black wood, Cuicui suddenly let out a scream.
It turned out that when Cuicui held the black wood with both hands and dragged it, she actually peeled off the layer of mud-like shell that was holding it, revealing a piece of smoothness inside, like human skin.
"Grandpa! What do you see going on? Is it really a refinement? Cuicui suddenly remembered her grandfather's previous words and said suspiciously.
"What's the essence, that's all nonsense. This is obviously a person, quickly peel him open and see if he is still alive. At this time, the old man also noticed the exposed skin in his hands, and said very calmly.
After a while, "Ahγγγγγγ A scream swept across the river, and a few ospreys enjoying the sun on the shore soared into the air.
"What are you screaming about, this damn girl! Go to the cabin and bring your grandfather's leather skirt, he's still alive, hehe... The old man laughed and scolded as he covered one ear with his hand.
