Chapter 129: Climbing the Ladder
Li Ling looked up at such a steep mountain wall in front of him, the mountain was shrouded in mist, the ice wind was biting, and the wall was blown by ice, and it had already been covered with a thick layer of thin ice on its surface.
Li Ling stretched out his hand to touch the dodge surface, and sighed slightly: "This mountain wall is so smooth, no matter how high the light skill is, there is no way to climb it, not to mention, the mountain wall in front of you has a height of more than three hundred meters, it is even more difficult." ”
"The master is really, there is such a big problem, unless, with wings on his body, how can he get by?" Li Ling nodded his forehead, the cold wind around him became colder and colder, and the sky gradually darkened.
The night of Huashan in winter will be very cold, if it weren't for Li Ling's cultivation of internal strength since he was a child, at this moment, it is estimated that he would have gone down the mountain as soon as possible because he couldn't resist the cold.
"Master...... It's getting dark. Your old man, come over quickly. Li Ling raised his breath and shouted at the back of the mountain.
Then the sound is like entering the valley, and there is no return.
"Hey, is the old man really asleep in this ice and snow?" Li Ling sighed with emotion, sat down cross-legged, breathed and breathed, in order to enhance his own qi and blood flow and achieve the effect of constant body temperature.
But after sitting for a long time, Li Ling felt very hungry, surrounded by steep peaks, inaccessible, and winter, most of the animals went to hibernate, and the fruits on the trees had fallen, where to find food.
"Forget it, it's better to go down the mountain temporarily to find food, otherwise, it's really uncomfortable to be cold and hungry here." Li Ling walked along the mountain road to the bottom of the mountain, passing through the pine forest in front, and did not see a living creature along the way, and he would come out to look for food like Li Ling in winter.
Halfway up the mountain, Li Ling suddenly found that something was moving in the grass in the woods, Li Ling was curious, pulled out the grass, but saw a rabbit that came out to eat in winter.
Li Ling's hands and feet were very fast, and he squatted and pounced, grabbed the rabbit's ears, and lifted them up at once.
"A hare, after a while, it will be dehaired and roasted and eaten." Li Ling smiled slightly, but when he saw the rabbit's frightened eyes, he suddenly couldn't bear it in his heart, and after swallowing his saliva, he threw the rabbit into the snow.
"Forget it, look at you pitiful, just like me, you can go." Li Ling threw down the rabbit, and the rabbit quickly disappeared into the snow.
However, his stomach rumbled again, and Li Ling suddenly thought about the second pot head in his pocket, so he took it out and poured a few mouthfuls, which was spicy in the mouth, warming the stomach, and it was a temporary stomach filling.
Li Ling drank two mouthfuls of Erguotou, then put Erguotou back in his pocket, came to a rock, looked out into the distance, and suddenly found that a goshawk flying in the sky was holding a branch in its mouth, easily flying against the mountain wall, on top of the mountain wall cave, there was a huge nest, it was holding branches back and forth, it was building its own eagle's nest.
Li Ling was fascinated by it, and felt that if he had wings, he could fly to the mountain wall like this.
Just as I was thinking about it, an idea flashed in my mind, since the goshawk can hold a branch and build its own nest on the mountain wall, why can't I hold a bunch of branches to build a ladder that can climb over the mountain wall?
Li Ling had a certain idea in his heart, and suddenly the dejected expression on his face disappeared for the most part, and he began to act with his own plan.
"The mountain wall is almost three hundred meters high, and if you build a ladder, with my light skills, you will need at least thirty branches the thickness of your arm." Li Ling looked for the woody and hard branches while testing the length and hardness of the branches.
"The branches have to be able to hold my weight." Li Ling was hanging on a tree, the branches of that tree were just the thickness of an arm, Li Ling hung on it without breaking, it was very suitable, Li Ling chopped it with his hand, and the trunk snapped and broke from it.
Li Ling did this, within an hour, he found ten branches that were quite suitable, hugged the ten branches, and walked towards the three-hundred-meter-high cliff.
When he reached the bottom of the cliff, Li Ling put down those arm-thick branches and continued to look for suitable branches nearby.
Another half an hour passed, and Li Ling selected all the branches and checked the hardness of the branches again. Then it took another half an hour to sharpen the tip of the branch.
"Whether you can cross the mountains or not depends on you." Li Ling squatted down, picked up a branch the thickness of an arm that was ready on the ground, lifted it and jumped up, jumping more than ten meters high, when it was suspended ten meters in the air, Li Ling's wrist was forced, using the thick true qi, aimed at the rock wall and slammed it, and with a click, the ice on the surface of the rock wall broke, and the tip of the branch infused with true qi sank into the hard rock.
Li Ling hung on the branch, breathed a sigh of relief, hung on the branch, raised his eyes and looked around, the world suddenly opened up, and there was a long roar.
"Looks like it's doable, come again." Li Ling's hand that grabbed the branch and let go, his body gradually flew down, then picked up the second branch, lifted the flying body and jumped up, hanging on the first branch with one hand, holding the branch with the other, and then infused the true qi into the arm hanging from the branch, squatted on the wall with both feet, and the body took off ten meters again, seizing the opportunity of the highest point, Li Ling inserted the second branch into the rock wall.
In this way, he climbed out of a height of twenty meters at once, Li Ling slowly exhaled a breath, although it was only twenty meters at the moment, but the mountain wind was already very strong, very cold, if it weren't for Li Ling's superb internal skills, he would have frozen to death a long time ago.
"The third branch." Li Ling let go of his hand and used light power to float lightly from a height of 20 meters, like a goshawk spreading its wings.
After falling back to the ground, Li Ling took two in his hand this time, clamped two in his armpits, and flew up, relying on the climactic climbing technique, Li Ling quickly built a sixty-meter-high ladder.
Li Ling hung in the air at a height of sixty meters, the cold and ice wind blew Li Ling's cheeks mercilessly, Li Ling wondered in his heart, the night in Huashan was so cold, how did the master and his old man fall asleep here.
At a height of sixty meters, Li Ling was embarrassed, he didn't dare to let go at the moment, he landed at once, he could only let go and fall on the next branch, with the help of slowing down the speed of the fall, when he reached the twenty-meter-high branch, Li Ling dared not to grasp the branch at all, and fell directly back to the ground.
After falling back to the ground, Li Ling reduced the number of branches this time, because, due to the strength of his strength, Li Ling could not use light power to leap sixty meters, but he was still able to fill it with true qi and insert all four branches into the rock wall.
"It seems that the internal force is still not enough." Although it was a freezing and cold day, Li Ling's forehead was sweating, and it had been almost two hours of working like this, and at this moment, the weather was even closer to the wee hours of the morning, the darkest time of the day, and the coldest time.
This time, Li Ling only took a branch, and then flew up, to a height of sixty meters, at this time, the cold wind was blowing, and Li Ling's clothes were covered with thin ice, Li Ling secretly gritted his teeth, jumped up, and vacated ten meters to a height, the branches were filled with true qi, and he used all the power of true qi to plunge into the rock wall, but something terrible happened, this time Li Ling was not able to tie the branch into the rock wall, but the front end of the entire branch was completely submerged, so that Li Ling had no support point, and his body fell directly down.
"Lean on the ......" Li Ling never expected that with the increase in height, the ice scale on the rock wall and the hardness of the rock also increased, and even if the general branches polished the front end, they could not penetrate it.
Li Ling's body fell rapidly, and halfway, with a lot of strength from the branches, he fell back to the ground safely.
"What should I do now?" Li Ling looked at the entire tip of the branch that had been smoothed out, and his heart was very bitter.
"Now, I can only climb to a height of sixty meters, and the remaining two hundred meters, unless I can fly over like a goshawk, hey, damn, it would be nice if there were more than twenty iron rods." Li Ling tapped his forehead, thinking about the law and wanting to go over the mountains.
"Quiet, I don't know what kind of suffering Lu Dao is suffering now, I can't just give up." Li Ling picked up the branch in his hand and frowned.
"First smash the ice scale with stones, and then pour spiritual power into the branches." Li Ling made up his mind, so he picked up a very sharp stone, skillfully flew up, to a height of seventy meters, Li Ling filled the stone with true qi, smashed it hard, Peng's sound, on the rock wall, the ice scale splashed, and even broke an ice cave, it can be seen that the thickness of the ice scale, Li Ling's eyes were fast, and immediately, he stretched out his hand like an eagle's claw, grabbed the ice that broke the hole, and could hang it high in the air.
"Well, that seems to work." Li Ling was at a height of 70 meters above the mountain wall at the moment, but in fact it was 570 meters above sea level, as if the cold wind was getting stronger and stronger.
However, Li Ling knew that if he did this, the danger would increase, because the ice was smooth and not easy to grasp, and as the height increased, Li Ling could not predict whether this stone could smash the thin ice on it.
Once he fails, Li Ling's body will fall back from a height of one or two hundred hundred meters, and at that time, if he falls, even if it is Li Ling's light skills, he will be thrown to death.
However, it's worth a try, this is Li Ling's newly discovered method, there are so many ways to ladder, adapt to the situation. Li Ling secretly decided in his heart, so he looked at the peak under the night.
"Get up." Li Ling's left palm was forced, and his feet squatted on the ice for a while, and his body rose five meters, although the height was not high, but it could be regarded as an improvement in the height of the rock wall.
There were more than a dozen ups and downs, and Li Ling climbed halfway up this rock wall, and below was a hundred-meter cliff, and if he fell, the consequences were unimaginable.
At this moment, Li Ling's fingers were almost frozen, and the one hundred and fifty-meter rock wall was in the air, making Li Ling almost feel like he was in an ice cellar.
"It's too cold."
The night was dark and the wind was high, and it began to snow, Li Ling's hair and eyebrows had been dyed white by the snow, and his lips were even more purple from the cold.
"Go on." After Li Ling's true qi recovered a little, he climbed towards the ground again, this time it was only three meters, Li Ling suddenly felt that it was getting more and more difficult, and the most terrifying thing was that the rock in his hand was broken to the size of a palm because it had been smashed too much.
"Now I'm happy." Li Ling knew that the rock in his hand had no effect, so he threw the rock in his hand off the cliff, and after a while, there was a sound from Peng, and the sound of the rock falling to the ground was broken into slag.
"Hey, if I fall in a while, I guess I'll end up like this rock." Li Ling grabbed the cave that had been dug out with all his might, hung it one hundred and fifty meters high on the rock wall, and looked at the mountain stream in the distance.
"Huashan, it's really precipitous, it deserves to be the west of the five mountains." Li Ling can only find some boring topics to pass the time at the moment.
At this moment, it was already three o'clock in the morning, which was close to the time of day, because it was winter, early and late, Li Ling did not expect the master to get up and save himself.
"Now that the stone is gone, it's really a dead end." Li Ling sighed with emotion, once again felt that he was incompetent, remembering the embarrassing plot of being quietly abducted and his powerlessness to resist, Li Ling was extremely sad in his heart.
"I don't know what Lu Dao Jing is doing now, those crazy scientists, will they do anything to her?" Li Ling hung in the mountains, but in his heart he kept the plot of the quiet abduction that day in his heart like a movie.
"Since the stone is gone, I'll do it, and with my iron palm skills, I should be able to make a hole in this thin ice." Li Ling took a deep breath, lifted the true qi, and jumped up again, this time the rest was long, and he actually jumped out of the ground to a height of seven meters, Li Ling seized the opportunity, on his left palm, filled with true qi, his five fingers were straightened, like a blade, and slashed on the thin ice, Li Ling's fingers suddenly hurt, but he still knocked the thin ice out of a hole, and stretched out his right hand to climb.
"It seems that my own hands work." Li Lingha smiled.
With such an experiment, the more Li Ling hit the ice with his hands, the more he felt, the more flexible and hard his fingers became, and he really felt that his hands were as sharp as a blade.
In less than an hour, at more than four o'clock in the morning, Li Ling finally completed the task of climbing the ladder, jumped up to the 300-meter rock wall, squatted and jumped to the ground, stood up, and let out a long roar at the sky.
"Lao Tzu is here." Li Lingha's laughter was actually a kind of spiritual release for the not easy climb just now.
"I don't know where to sleep." Li Ling glanced around the top of the mountain, in addition to a large number of rocks, there were some pine trees and a large amount of snow.
"Where's the master?" Li Ling looked around, but he didn't see the nine-tailed fox.
"No, let's go down the mountain." Li Ling was a little depressed, but just when Li Ling had this thought, he saw a snowman in the same shape, sitting cross-legged on the ground.
Li Ling glanced at it, and immediately recognized that it was a person buried alive by the snow, Li Ling was shocked, and hurriedly pulled out the snow on his face, it turned out to be the nine-tailed fox, it was the master and his old man, Li Ling suddenly shouted: "Master." ”
But the nine-tailed fox just closed his eyes and ignored Li Ling, Li Ling was shocked, under such a heavy snow, the master meditated like this, could it be ...... What kind of advanced martial arts are you practicing......
Li Ling probed the nine-tailed fox's snort, but he was no longer breathing...... Damn, what kind of qigong is this, Li Ling snorted for another ten minutes, but still didn't breathe, wow, you can close it for ten minutes......
For an hour, I still didn't breathe......
No way...... Li Ling wouldn't be stupid enough to think that the nine-tailed fox had hung up......
