Chapter 394: White Mist Lonely Village
The task of vigil is not difficult, Zhou Xiaolong, Ouyang Lei and Dai Xiong each keep watch for three hours, and after a cycle, the sky will be bright.
The first vigil was Dai Xiong, Ouyang Lei was in the middle, and Zhou Xiaolong was the last, because the last few hours close to dawn were the most sleepy.
Before going to bed, Zhou Xiaolong, in order to be cautious, sprinkled some five-colored beans and cinnabar around the tent, in case something dirty in the mountain stepped on, those five-colored beans and cinnabar could catch fire.
After all, the five-colored beans and cinnabar were limited, Zhou Xiaolong was still not at ease, picked up some peach tree branches, erected seven branches around the camp, and pasted yellow table paper and copper bells on the branches, and finally circled with red thread.
This is a small formation, even if there is nothing dirty, and the small animal is close to the camp, it can alarm the copper bell to make a sound, which can be regarded as an alarm.
After everything that needed to be done, Zhou Xiaolong was relieved to get into the tent and go to sleep.
The simple tent brought by Professor Cui, although it is called a tent, is actually similar to a sleeping bag, because it is summer, so there is no thick quilt, a thin layer, and it also takes up space when folded.
Maybe he was a little tired from the journey, and not long after climbing into the tent, Zhou Xiaolong fell asleep.
……
When he was sleeping, Zhou Xiaolong seemed to hear the mule outside suddenly hissing, and suddenly, he woke him up.
Ah, what sound?!
Zhou Xiaolong immediately rushed out, in addition to the blazing fire outside, there was also Dai Xiong napping against the fire, everything was very normal.
After settling his mind for a moment, Zhou Xiaolong opened his yin and yang eyes and felt the aura around him, but nothing unusual happened around him, and there was no trace of the small traps and small magic circles he arranged.
Zhou Xiaolong glanced at it again, the mule tied to a small tree, silently lowered his head and gnawed on the grass, and now there was no movement.
Could it be that you are too cautious and too careful?!
Zhou Xiaolong walked over and knocked on Dai Xiong's shoulder, and Dai Xiong woke up.
Dai Xiong touched his head embarrassedly and said, "Oh, I'm really sorry, maybe I'm a little tired, and I fell asleep while sitting." ”
Zhou Xiaolong pointed to his simple tent and said to Dai Xiong: "Brother Big Bear, if you are tired, go and rest, this time is also time to change shifts, and then I will take a rotation." ”
Originally, Ouyang Lei was supposed to be on the second shift, but the little fat man never woke up, and until the second half of the night, Zhou Xiaolong didn't wake him up, it seems that Zhou Xiaolong really felt sorry for his stupid apprentice.
Anyway, this place is relatively safe now, and there is no movement except for the mountain wind.
When Professor Cui woke up, it was almost dawn, and he stepped out of his sleeping bag to find that Zhou Xiaolong was still on duty at night.
Looking down at the time, Professor Cui asked Zhou Xiaolong to sleep in his tent for a while.
Blown by this mountain wind, Zhou Xiaolong also had no sleepiness, looking at the extinguished fire, the two of them sat together and chatted a few words, and before they knew it, it was dawn.
After Gu Lili got up, she kicked Ouyang Lei, and Ouyang Lei rubbed his eyes and opened his eyes.
Ouyang Lei asked stupidly: "What's the matter, it's time, should I be on duty all night, hey, why is it dawn?!" ”
Gu Lili scolded: "Go and make breakfast for everyone, you lazy pig!! ”
Gu Lili and Ouyang Lei prepared the morning food, Dai Xiong fetched some water to wash everyone's faces, Zhou Xiaolong and Professor Cui rested for a while, and the five of them began to eat breakfast.
To say that the air in this mountain is really good, it is simply full of heaven and earth aura, a few people who get up breathe the air of this mountain, suddenly feel in good spirits, and the fatigue of yesterday's rush is also swept away.
Professor Cui stretched his waist, twisted his neck, and walked to the side of the mountain to exercise a few times.
Professor Cui also has this habit at his own home at Jinhai University, so Zhou Xiaolong didn't pay much attention to it.
However, Professor Cui had just exercised a few times when he suddenly screamed.
"Ah...... Oh my God, little dragon, come and see!! ”
Zhou Xiaolong hurriedly stood up and ran over, standing on the edge of the basin and looking down, only to see that the small village that was still in the moonlight last night was gone, replaced by churning white clouds.
And at this moment, the feet of several people seem to be standing in the clouds, which makes people feel shaky and dizzy.
There is a high mountain in the distance, faintly visible, towering into the sky, it must be Python Mountain.
Gu Lili clapped her hands and shouted: "Wow, this is simply a fairyland on earth!" So beautiful! It's so beautiful! Da Lei, hurry up and bring me the camera!! ”
Ouyang Lei took out his camera and ran to Gu Lili's side in a hurry, Gu Lili began to tinker with the SLR camera to take pictures, and Ouyang Lei was also dumbfounded by the beautiful scenery in front of him.
Dai Xiong looked into the distance, but he was not as excited as these people in the city, he said to himself: "The weather has been very dry recently, there was no rain last night, why is there such a big fog this morning?!" ”
Zhou Xiaolong was also shocked by the scene in front of him, and stood there excited.
Professor Cui said with great interest: "This place is really to gather the aura of heaven and earth, enjoy the essence of the sun and the moon, ride the clouds, and fly the dragon, I didn't expect that there is such a wonderful place in the world......"
Everyone sighed for a while, but they didn't take action, because the clouds and mist were churning under the mountain, and they couldn't find the way down the mountain for the time being, and all they could do was to wait, wait for the sun to come out and blow the clouds away.
In this way, I waited until the first rays of sunlight appeared in the sky, but I didn't expect that this ray of sunlight caused more wonderful changes in the scenery here......
When the golden sunlight shone into the clouds, it stirred up a brilliant rainbow, and that rainbow, across the entire basin, seemed to change into a fairy bridge.
At this moment, everyone is standing at the head of the Rainbow Bridge, and the other end leads directly to the faintly visible Python Mountain!!
With such a beautiful scenery and such a miraculous workmanship, Professor Cui was able to discover such a great spectacle in his lifetime, and his heart was surging to the extreme, and even his whole body was trembling, as if he was about to go crazy.
If the clouds and mist are the zenith, then isn't this rainbow just a fairy bridge at this moment?
So, what's on the other side of the bridge?!
As the sun had risen, the clouds had become more and more intense, and they had begun to roll towards the camp.
In an instant, the five of them fell into a white mist, and it is no exaggeration to say that they could not even see each other, and could only rely on their voices to distinguish their respective directions.
Zhou Xiaolong, like Professor Cui, felt that the village under their feet was even more mysterious, and they couldn't wait to go down the mountain to investigate......
