(66) Fear of heights
Ah Mo's fear of heights is somewhat special.
She is not afraid of things that can be stepped on under her feet, such as going to the house to uncover the tiles, climbing trees and digging birds' eggs, and even soaring clouds and fogging, because there are clouds under her feet, and she can step on them steadily.
But she's afraid of stepping on something that isn't tight, like — uh, a chain bridge like this in front of her.
The feet are empty, there is an abyss below, and the waves crash on the shore.
One foot is on a chain, but it is not fully stepped on, half full, empty, staggering, stumbling.
Ah Mo gritted his teeth and stepped on the iron rope.
Sure enough, as soon as she went up, the iron rope immediately shook, she only felt her head dizzy, and couldn't help but cry out "ah" again, just wanted to retract the foot, but felt that the hand was tight, and the person had been pulled up by Jinghua.
Ah Mo immediately screamed: "Ah, I can't do it! Jinghua, I ...... If you want to go down, let me go down!"
The two iron cables under her feet shook so violently that her heart was pounding, almost jumping out of her throat. She closed her eyes and clung to the railing on the side, refusing to move a single step in her life.
"Momo, why are you afraid of being like this?" Jinghua couldn't cry or laugh, "Momo, I'll pull you and walk like Qinglan and them, it'll be fine." ”
"I didn't! I wasn't afraid...... Don't try to lie to me, I'm going to fall! Let me go down, woo, I'm so scared!"
Ah Mo, whose feet were off the ground, had no heroism, not only desperately grabbed the railing, but also simply squatted down, talking incoherently there.
Jinghua shook his head and smiled bitterly. Needless to ask, he is now very clear about what kind of Achilles heel this lawless woman has.
He secretly pressed his chest and coughed twice in a suppressed manner, which was surging so loudly that his mouth was filled with the smell of blood. And his teammates were still lying on the ground, their eyes closed, screaming.
"Or else, I'll carry you on my back like a big brother. Jinghua rubbed her swollen head and made an offer.
Hearing Jinghua say that he wanted to carry himself, Ah Mo's head shaking with the iron rope finally ran back to some sense, opened his eyes, shook his head and said, "No, you are still sick." ”
Jinghua sighed helplessly: "You refuse to leave, I don't carry you, what else?"
He squatted down, turned his back to her, and said with a smile: "Come on, no matter how bad I am, my princess can always carry it." ”
Ah Mo looked at him with a hint of hesitation.
His back was to her, and from inside his shirt, a cloud of blood oozed from it.
The blood color was reflected on the white snow-like clothes, which was particularly dazzling.
When he arrived in the underworld, the speed at which his spiritual power leaked out was also several times that of the past, although he did not move or use force, but Miao Yuan also said that just maintaining daily respiratory metabolism was already a huge consumption, not to mention that he had to keep hurrying.
This is a burden that his current physical strength simply cannot bear.
Ah Mo gritted his teeth and said resolutely: "I don't want you to carry it, I'll go by myself." ”
Jinghua smiled, he still had his back to her, so he didn't let her notice a hint of cunning hidden in that smile.
I really have to carry it and grit my teeth, it's not impossible to do it, but she always walks well by herself.
He has been deploying troops for a long time, and he can't escape a strategy when doing things. Sometimes habit becomes natural, and in the eyes of others, it may be scheming. But, yes.
This is just the first crossing of the ten-mile soul crossing, if it is not necessary, it is better to try to retain physical strength. Generally, the further back you go, the more dangerous it becomes.
And if through this opportunity, if you can force Ah Mo to completely overcome the obstacle of fear of heights, it will be a good thing once and for all.
He can't say what the future holds. He promised to try it for her, but he wasn't sure what the outcome would be.
Maybe there is no Yinlongyi in the backyin mountain at all;Maybe it will take more than ten years, or even decades to find Yinlongyi, and he can't wait at all;Or, hehe, in fact, it's not maybe, but a big possibility—my father won't agree at all.
He will not change his expectations of her until he reaches the end, he will continue to teach her, help her, improve her shortcomings, overcome her fears, and finally make her perfect.
"Come, you hold the railing with one hand, hold me with the other! Step by step! Jinghua looked at her and encouraged gently.
Ah Mo nodded.
Her big eyes were still filled with crystal tears, like a jar full of spills. But finally he slowly stood up, mustered up his courage, and took the first step forward.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With Jinghua's constant encouragement, Ah Mo finally got a little used to such high-altitude walking.
Although her face was still full of nervousness and her palms were sweaty, at least—
One step! Two steps!
Well, she actually took two steps.
Jinghua visually measured that the total length of this bridge is about three miles, and it is said to be the first crossing of ten miles of soul crossing, which is worthy of its name.
But according to Ah Mo's speed, it is estimated that Qinglan and them have arrived on the other side, and they have only just taken a few steps on their side.
He just wanted to see Qinglan and their situation, when he suddenly heard Ah Mo shouting again!
"Shoes! Jinghua, my shoes are off!" Ah Mo began to cry again.
Jinghua lowered his head, and there was only one shoe left on Ah Mo's feet, and the other had fallen straight into the abyss like a leaf.
"Give me the whip!" he said decisively.
Before she could hand it over, he had already taken the whip directly from her waist and threw it straight under the bridge!
The long whip is made of the horns of the Xiqi unicorn prince as the bone joints, and the tendons of the cow cows in the East China Sea Liubo Mountain are used as the whip body, which can be long or short. Now that he has been cast by Jinghua, it is like life, growing steadily, and it extends infinitely in an instant!
The shoes swirled and fluttered, and finally when they were about to fall into the waves of the sea of blood, they were swept up by Jinghua's long whip!
"Fool, but if you drop a shoe, you're scared like this. He lowered his head and coughed lightly, crouched down, and carefully dressed her.
"I ...... I still can't. Ah Mo said with tears in her eyes, "I really can't do it, I have tried." I can do anything, but this is really something I can't do. ”
There was sweat and tears on her little face, her eyes were red, her face was red, and she said pitifully: "Jinghua, you spare me...... Woo, the shoes will fall off, and so will I. ”
Jinghua had no choice but to coax her: "Momo is not afraid, if you fall, I will also roll you up with a whip!" He came to grab her hand again.
This stupid Momo really cried like a helpless child!
Alas...... He taught her all kinds of kung fu and placed such high expectations on her, and maybe in the future, he would support her to take on the heavy responsibility of being the commander of the military department, how could there be such a commander who was afraid of heights? Wouldn't this make the officers and men in the army laugh off their big teeth?
He made up his mind that he had to make her change!
But no matter what he said, Ah Mo was like a scale, and she was determined not to be deceived by him, she firmly pressed herself to the cold railing, and refused to go forward with him if she said anything.
The moment the shoe fell just now, she only felt that her soul was about to fly away. And the shoes were picked up, but her soul has not come back until now, and the whole person is still dizzy and has goosebumps all over her body.
"If Momo refuses to leave, do you want me to carry it?" Jinghua looked at her, and had no choice but to take her again.
"No, no, I don't need you to carry it, you go first, I'll wait for Brother Qinglan to send the Yin Key to the other side, and then turn back and carry me. She was so frightened that her soul was not possessed, but her mind was very clear, "Brother Qinglan has great strength, it's no problem to carry me." ”
These words made Jinghua uncomfortable to listen to.
How unreasonable is that my own woman should trouble others to carry it!
"You either go by yourself, or I'll carry you over, you choose!" Jinghua dropped two sentences lightly, and stopped looking at her.
Ah Mo raised his eyes and glanced at him secretly, but he leaked his mouth for a while, and annoyed this stingy ghost again.
Hmph, you go and annoy you!
Anyway, this broken bridge, I said that I wouldn't cross it by myself!
Ah Mo's nasal voice was heavy, and she was crying, but she said categorically: "I don't want you to carry it, I want Brother Qinglan to carry it!"
She had just finished saying this, but she heard Yin Key shouting in panic: "Come on, Qinglan vomited blood!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stepping on it, there is a little shaky feeling, but there is no need to be afraid.
He was born in the military and was used to climbing high mountains, but he didn't know if the young monarch of the underworld could afford this thrill.
Qinglan thought about it and looked towards the Yin Key, but found that she also happened to be looking at him, and couldn't help but smile at each other, holding the other party's hand a little tighter.
When he walked for about three or four feet, Qinglan looked back and saw that Xuanhua had already carried Miaoyuan on his back to the end of the road, while Jinghua and Ah Mo were still deadlocked at the starting point.
He smiled and sighed, turned back to Xuanhua and said, "Jinghua and Ah Mo are afraid that there will be a lot of trouble, why don't I go back to pick up the two of them after I get to the other side with you." ”
Xuanhua smiled and agreed.
The road was too smooth. Qinglan secretly said, but it was just an iron bridge on a cliff, plus the blood and water tumbling underneath, and there was nothing else to be afraid of. It's not even as steep and difficult as the previous mountain roads.
This is simply a terrifying name like "Ten Miles of Soul Crossing the Road to Death"!
But he still didn't dare to take it lightly.
Following Jinghua to conquer many places in the north and south, knowing that the most dangerous traps are often placed under peace and leisure, he always maintained 120,000 points of vigilance, and even secretly made several plans in his heart to deal with sudden emergencies.
For example, if the iron cable suddenly breaks, or a sharp blade suddenly appears under the foot......
But none of this is true.
All the way unimpeded.
The wind blew on the bridge, causing his robe to tremble and flutter, and his black hair to fly.
It's just that the blood red is getting more and more dazzling, and the sound of water is getting more and more noisy, Qinglan actually feels a little top-heavy.
A sudden onset of vertigo.
This is a very unfamiliar feeling for Qinglan. He has been in good health since he was a child, he has lived for 2,800 years, and he never knows what illness is, even if he went to the battlefield later and was injured several times, it was a hard problem, bleeding and losing flesh, and some pain.
For the first time in his life, he felt dizzy, had difficulty breathing, and even felt a little nauseous.
Is it because the anger here is too heavy? But if his own cultivation is so greatly affected, will the Yin Key be even more uncomfortable?
Qinglan looked nervously at the Yin Key, but gasped!
The little hand that I hold is not the yin key at all-
It's a claw!
