"Little brother has good eyesight!" The man in white glanced at Ye Feihua and said: "The stone mountain is generally in the shape of a round cake, bordering the Sanssouci River in the east and the Heping Town in the west, and the two ends are seventy-two kilometers and three hundred and thirty meters apart; The north side is against the Mochou Ridge, and the south side is next to the Huanxi Valley, and the two ends are extremely wide and fifty-four kilometers apart from each other, and the radius is just two hundred and four kilometers. As for the outcropping of the mountain, it is 3,330 meters high, reaching into the nine heavens. ”

"The classics say that the stone mountain comes from outside the sky, the four sides are charred as ink, the walls are smooth, and only this small road in the peaceful town leads to the stone town on the top of the mountain, is it true?" Yun asked lightly.

"That's right!" The man in white nodded, then pointed to the path on the mountain wall and said, "Within a radius of two hundred kilometers, there is indeed only one path leading to the top of the mountain, which is the Path of Inquiry!" There are 36 major bends and 286 small bends in the Inquiry Trail, with a total of 9,999 steps, which are steep and difficult to walk. ”

"If you want to find the avenue, you always ask your heart! The rumors are true! Yun faintly stared at the steep path on the mountain wall that winded up to the sea of clouds, and only felt that his heart was tense for a while.

"Not really!" The man in white smiled and said, "The Trail of Conscience is so steep that only a bold person dares to climb it on foot!" You see, the queue in front of you is crowded like ants, but there are very few people on the path of inquiry. When most people arrive at the trailhead, they hesitate again and again, and finally look at the mountain and sigh and leave. ”

Although the rank of the man in white is higher than that of Ye Feihua and the others, the man in white is casual and approachable when he talks and laughs.

Ye Feihua, He Shannon, and Yun Dan chatted with the man in white, the more speculative they became, and the two sides informed each other of their names.

The man in white was named Mo Xiangyuan, and he was also a small principality from a remote western region.

A few people were talking and laughing as they moved forward with the procession, and before they knew it, they came to the trailhead.

There are a lot of people in line, and even more people around the trailhead.

It turned out that some people were afraid of the steepness of the trail and finally lined up to the trailhead, but they hesitated, stopped, and were squeezed aside by the people behind and gathered.

Mo Xiang was far ahead, Ye Feihua followed closely behind, and the two of them lined up in the crowd and embarked on the path of inquiry.

Yun faintly followed behind Ye Feihua, his face a little pale.

Yun faintly hesitated slightly, and then stubbornly climbed the steps of the Conscience Trail.

When Yun faintly climbed two steps, He Shannon grinned and followed.

The Inquiry Trail winds its way up, and everywhere it passes, it is the gentlest part of the mountain wall. Even so, as soon as you raise your arm forward, your fingertips can touch the cold stone wall, but fortunately, the steps are still quite wide, leaving a little room for your feet.

Regardless of whether you go up or down, keep to the right, and there are up to five people standing on one step of the stairs. The people who go up the mountain are also pulled into a line, and the people who go down the mountain are also pulled into a line. Whether it is the person who goes up the mountain or the person who comes down the mountain, they are all cautious and walking on thin ice.

"Where is this mountaineering? It's just heavenly! After climbing a hundred or so steps, Yun sighed faintly.

Mo Xiangyuan raised his eyebrows, looked back at Yun Dan, and said with a smile: "Conscience and conscience, it's not to ascend to the sky, it's sad to ascend to the sky!" Little brother, what you want to climb the path of conscience is to pay attention to the present, look ahead, and don't look back. As long as you climb the 9,999 steps, your soul will be bathed in a new way. ”

"Thank you Brother Mo for your advice! People go to the sky, the earth floats under their feet, how dare I turn back, little brother! Yun smiled faintly.

Having said so, Yun Dan still couldn't help but turn his head sideways and glance down.

Although there are only about 100 steps, only more than 30 meters above the ground, but when I suddenly looked down, Yun was faintly dizzy, and he was shaking.

He Shannon in the back hurriedly helped Yun lightly.

Because the clouds shook so badly, he even took He Shannon to stumble for a while.

Seeing that the figures of He Shannon and Yun Dan were swaying more and more, a big fan-like hand suddenly pressed against He Shannon's back, and then a low and majestic voice sounded: "Calm down, don't look at the sky, don't look at the ground, and keep your eyes on the mountain wall in front of you." ”

This voice seemed to have an extraordinary calming power, and He Shannon and Yun were shocked, and their bodies stabilized in an instant.

He Shannon glanced back, and it turned out to be an old man in a green shirt with an unusually majestic body.

The old man in the green shirt was three meters tall, with big ears and a pair of tiger eyes.

"Thank you!" He Shannon smiled at the old man in green shirts.

The old man in the green shirt had a flat face, ignoring He Shannon's friendly smile and turned his gaze ahead.

He Shannon laughed again, then turned his head and shouted: "Dan Ye, Brother Mo is right, pay attention to the present, look ahead, don't look back, wait for us to climb the stone mountain, and then look down enough!" ”

"Actually, it's nothing, but I'm always worried that this is a no-fly zone, you can't fly, you can't fly, and as a result, I was overly nervous and a little afraid of heights, I'm really ashamed!" Yun smiled faintly.

In the early morning, the humidity was heavy, and the dew trickled into a trickle on the stone wall next to the Asksin Path.

Wherever the stream passed, many scratches and scratches could be seen, as well as holes pierced by sharp objects. Obviously, those are the traces left by people who have stumbled.

Yun faintly stared at the front with his eyes, and he didn't dare to be careless anymore.

The higher you go, the steeper the trail becomes, and in some places you even need to use both hands and feet to climb it with difficulty.

The higher you go, the heavier the moisture becomes.

When we got to the back, the heavy humidity turned into mist. The surroundings are gray and foggy, and you can see the steps and figures within two meters from the front and back.

Ye Feihua knew that several people were passing through the cloud and mist they had seen on the ground before.

Ye Feihua slowed down and became more careful.

I don't know how long I climbed, but it suddenly became clear that I had passed through the clouds and came to the clouds.

Ye Feihua stopped and watched.

But the sky was blue and exceptionally clear. The white clouds in the distance are white and flawless. The clouds and mist are shrouded underfoot, and they are surging with the wind.

Ye Feihua turned her head to look at the mountain wall again.

But I saw that the left side was wide and boundless, and the right side was wide and boundless, and when I looked up, the end was still in the distant sky.

The mountain wall, which is almost perpendicular to the earth, is like a cliff that is beyond imagination, and the pedestrians on the path of inquiry are like ants clinging to the cliff, as if the mountain wind blows and blows it down.

Ye Feihua was awe-inspiring and trembling.

At this moment, Ye Feihua only had one feeling, how vast the world was, and how small she was!

A group of climbers marched silently, Ye Feihua was inconvenient to disrupt the rhythm, and after a slight pause, he started climbing again.

The heart is twisted and turned, and it is difficult to reach the sky; Stop one step at a time and ask his heart.

Three hours later, when Ye Feihua silently counted "nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine" in his heart, Ye Feihua and the three of them finally climbed the stone mountain.

After climbing the last step and taking a few steps forward, Ye Feihua, He Shannon, and Yun Dan involuntarily paused.

In front of me is a huge city, a huge black and white city, with dark ground and white buildings.

Due to the high terrain of the place where you climb, you can see it from the pan to the eye. But I saw an open avenue sixty meters wide that started from the bottom of my feet and stretched straight to the east, and there was no end in sight.

On both sides of the avenue, there are criss-crossing streets and alleys. All kinds of white courtyards are scattered among the streets and alleys, and the houses are quaint and the plants and trees are beautiful.

As far as the eye can see, in the center of the city, stand several magnificent buildings.

Above several magnificent buildings, the air is full of green.

A hanging of silver Lian hung down from the green air, even if it was dozens of kilometers away, but the sound of "rumbling" water was heard.

Built on top of a stone hill, this huge city is busy but not noisy, ** but not dull.

Ye Feihua and the three of them stood tall and opened their mouths slightly.

At this moment, the words are pale, even if the most magnificent words in the world are captured, they can't describe the kind of amazement in the hearts of Ye Feihua and the others.

Mo Xiangyuan glanced at Ye Feihua and the three of them, and said with a smile: "Three little brothers, Stone City is magnificent and deep, and it is wonderful, you experience it slowly, I am one step ahead." ”

"Brother Mo, please take care of yourself! If there is fate, we will meet again one day! Ye Feihua woke up and hurriedly owed a debt.

Not far away, there were sedan chairs and mules and horses waiting for passengers, Mo Xiangyuan stopped talking, stretched out his hand to hail a carriage, and went away.

Climbed the 9,999 steps all the way, without stopping in the middle, Ye Feihua, He Shannon, and Yun Dan Although their clothes were slightly sweaty, their eyes were calm and their breath was even.

When the majestic old man in green shirt passed by Ye Feihua and the three of them, he inadvertently glanced at the three of them, and a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes.

Stone Town occupies almost the entire top of Stone Mountain, with a radius of 200 kilometers, and some houses on the periphery are even built to the edge of the mountain.

After the people who went up the mountain reached the top, they all attracted cars, mules and horses, and no longer hiked.

Ye Feihua also called a four-wheeled carriage, and the three of them sat on it and went straight to the center of the city.

The goal of Ye Feihua and the three of them is very clear, that is, the magnificent buildings in the center of the city, that is, the Nebula Library, which is famous throughout the Star Continent.

The sound of hooves "gets", and the rotation is "lulu".

Although the road is full of pedestrians and cars, it is all orderly and peaceful.
