There are bridges! That meant that they passed smoothly through the mountains and rivers in front of them, reached the other side of the river, and continued on their way.

But before Zhao Zixian and the others could cheer, Lu Jie continued: "It's a single-plank bridge, but it's in disrepair and decaying, I don't know if I can go to it." ”

Zhao Zixian hesitated slightly, and said: "Black girl, you go to make lunch, we will go on the road after we are full, no matter what, we can't wait any longer." "I think as long as the bridge is there, there must be a way to get there. At least there is hope.

Not long after, Lin Zhiyin rushed back at lunchtime as promised. When he went to explore the road, he was reminded by Li Yucai not to go too far. The reason is that even if they go astray, they will not deviate too far from the right path.

After everyone had a full meal, they hit the road again. The road was not too rough and bumpy, and it took less than three hours to come to a single-plank bridge.

The single-plank bridge really lives up to its name. It is a tree pole with a true diameter of about 20 centimeters, and the horizontal frame is relatively high stone bridge pier on both sides of the narrow river. The 50-meter-long single-plank bridge has fallen into disrepair and has been weathered by wind and rain, and it is decorated.

Just as Lu Jie was about to lift his legs on the bridge, a gust of mountain wind blew. Everyone saw the rotten powder of the single-plank bridge rustling and falling, and it was possible to be blown off by the wind at any time.

Zhao Zixian's brows couldn't help frowning, "Wait first!" After that, he stared at the decaying single-plank bridge, and then looked at the river about 100 meters below the bridge, and was silent for a long time. If it were in his heyday, he would have only one way to borrow, and it would be useless to cross this single-plank bridge.

"Erhan, find out the rope." Zhao Zixian opened his mouth and commanded.

Erhan responded and quickly brought a slender rope. It is a rope with a true diameter of about 6 mm, which is thin but extremely tensile resistant, and extremely light. Generally, this kind of climbing rope weighs about 4 kilograms for 100 meters.

"Black girl!" Zhao Zixian looked at the black bitter girl and said, "You have the best skills and the lightest weight." ”

The black bitter girl nodded knowingly, tied one end of the rope to a big tree, and wrapped a live knot around Xiaoman's waist before she spoke: "I'll go first!" Then he came to the head of the bridge and walked cautiously onto the single-plank bridge.

I saw her hands raised, and she kept putting the rope with the movement of her footsteps. Because she has a solid foundation in martial arts, in the eyes of everyone, she walked smoothly on the single-plank bridge. But just as she reached the other side, a gust of wind rose into the air, blowing her and almost falling into the river a hundred meters below. She stood firm in danger, and couldn't help but reach out to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead.

In the eyes of outsiders, she is living very smoothly. Only she knows how her heart hangs when she crosses the bridge. With every step she took, the bridge creaked, threatening to break at any moment. It's frightening every step!

Click! The single-plank bridge completed its final mission and fell into the river under the ravages of the strong wind. The black bitter girl turned around suddenly, stared at the falling broken wood, patted her chest and said to herself in shock: "It's so dangerous! After that, he waved to Zhao Zixian and the others on the other side.

The black bitter girl found a big tree, tied the rope tightly and tightened, walked back to the shore, put her hands to her mouth, and cried out loudly, "It's okay, you guys come here." Grandpa, you have to be careful. "With the rope, it's not difficult to transport the bags over. It is not difficult for others to come over through ropes, but only the elderly Zhao Zixian is what she is most worried about.

Li Yucai found a lock, and with the help of Erhan and others, Zhao Zixian was firmly locked on the rope and slowly slid to the opposite bank. Zhao Zixian has experienced a lot of life and death, and his heart is much tougher than ordinary people. However, although his physical condition deteriorated, his mental capacity was much weaker, and when he slid to the middle of the river, he inevitably began to feel frightened.

A rope thinner than a finger hangs between the two mountains, and a hundred meters below is a rolling river and a howling mountain wind. Anyone will feel a little scared, Zhao Zixian is equivalent to an old man in his twilight years at this time, and it is inevitable that he will feel afraid. He slowly slid towards the black bitter girl in mid-air, listening to the whirring wind, and his back was cold with nervousness. He was afraid of death, very afraid of death.

The black bitter girl's eyes were round, and she stared at Zhao Zixian who was crumbling in the air without blinking. Her hands were clenched into fists, and her palms were oozing with sweat. And Li Yucai on the other side was no better, staring at Zhao Zitong's figure intently.

The reason why Li Yucai let Zhao Zixian cross the river first through the rope was because he was afraid that the rope would be worn out or the lock would be loose if the load bearing of the rope was too much. Other young, strong people can react to emergencies or save themselves if they fall into the river. But now Zhao Zixian can't, she is afraid of being unintentional for a long time, and she is even more afraid that he will have an accident.

Zhao Zixian glides slowly on the rope. After about five minutes, the nervous black bitter girl finally took him in her arms, and he passed safely. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yucai crossed the mountains and rivers through ropes. Everyone else crossed the river unharmed.

When everyone was cheering, Zhao Zixian once again took out the map left by Li Linqiang to check and set the direction, and went on the road again while it was still dark. He really can't afford to delay, he just wants to find his destination as soon as possible, and get the Fire Spirit Ginseng in the hope that a miracle will happen. He also felt that as long as he could find the Fire Spirit Ginseng, his body's problems could be solved.

In fact, the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are mutually reinforcing. As long as he gathers and fuses the five great spiritual ginsengs, the five elements of true qi will continue to grow in his body, forming a seamless and integrated circulation chain. The lost Five Elements True Qi can be quickly replenished.

On a hazy day, it gets dark very early. Before Zhao Zixian and the others arrived at the pre-set halfway destination, it was completely dark. It was also foggy, with visibility of less than a meter.

"It stands to reason that we should have reached the cave. Hey—" Zhao Zixian sighed. The map shows that there will be a cave not far from the mountain river. He had planned to spend the night in the cave, but it seemed impossible now. Walking in the deep mountains and old forests in the eyes of the fog is tantamount to asking for a dead end, otherwise you will lose your way.

As a last resort, everyone set up camp again. The late autumn nights were cold and the air was extremely humid. Zhao Zixian couldn't withstand such a harsh environment at all, and his body trembled while feeling difficult to breathe.

Li Yucai looked at Zhao Zixian's bloodless face, and couldn't help frowning, and extremely worried came from the depths of her heart. There was a campfire outside the tent to keep warm, but the mountain breeze was howling and the fog was heavy. The temperature of the tent was extremely low, and Zhao Zixian's whole body trembled coldly.

Li Yucai and Hei Kumei glanced at each other, and then said, "We will take turns to warm him." As he spoke, he began to take off his clothes. Hei Kumei nodded silently, and reached out to remove the clothes on Zhao Zixian's body.

Li Yucai was lying in the tent with her body half-naked and holding Zhao Zixian. She warmed him with the temperature of her own flesh, which was the only solution at the moment.

The black bitter girl got up silently and walked to the door of the tent to guard.

Although Zhao Zixian shivered coldly, his consciousness was still sober. He felt that the beauties were half-naked hugging each other to keep himself warm, and in addition to being moved, there was no trace of evil thoughts in his heart. He knew very well that he was in a bad old man, no different from a bad old man who had nearly a hundred years of life, and that the skin of his whole body was like the bark of a dry and cracked pine. But Li Yucai did not dislike and disgust, and warmed him with his body, how could he not be moved? How can you have evil thoughts again?

With Li Yucai's physical warmth, Zhao Zixian obviously felt a trace of warmth. Not only the warmth of the body, but also the warmth from the depths of the heart. He secretly swore in his heart that he would never leave his women in the future. Many beauties began to appear in his mind, and the red sorrow was also impressive.

With the passage of time, Zhao Zixian's condition has improved significantly, and his face has recovered a lot when he is not trembling. He fell asleep comfortably and had a sweet dream. As for what he dreamed about, he couldn't remember it when he woke up.

Zhao Zixian slowly opened his sleepy eyes, felt two soft things staring at his back, and immediately realized that it was a woman's chest. He didn't dare to think wildly, for fear of triggering the emotional Gu in his body. He concentrates his mind on feeling his condition in order to achieve a distraction effect.

How so? Zhao Zixian was happy and puzzled at the same time. The four major and five elements true qi in his body had all been restored to a great extent. Although the True Qi of the Five Elements per share had only returned to the state of twenty percent of its heyday, it was many times more than the sum of the recoveries in a few days.

For him, this is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow. He immediately sat up cross-legged and saw Li Yucai standing vigil at the door of the tent. He didn't dare to look back at the beauty behind him, but Li Yucai, who rushed back, smiled slightly, and said softly, "I'm fine." I'll adjust my physical condition first. ”

Zhao Zixian mobilized the three five elements of gold, wood, and earth in his body to transform and strengthen his body. After about an hour, I opened my eyes again, and two rays of light shot out of them. Although his appearance is still the image of a bad old man, his body has undergone drastic changes.

He used the true qi of wood to replenish his life essence to stop aging; The true qi of the earth strengthens the strength of the cells of the whole body; He also strengthened his eyesight with the true qi of gold, although it did not achieve the effect of fiery eyes, but it was many times stronger than the eyesight of ordinary people.

Zhao Zixian's current physical condition is tantamount to a strong man, although his appearance is still a bad old man.

When he finished transforming his body, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he couldn't figure out how the four major and five elements true qi could recover so quickly overnight. Such a strange recovery was something he had never had before.
