This was the process of their acquaintance that day, just as natural as when they met Fan Yuntian in Daoxiang Village. Many times An Ran wonders, is this intentional by the system? The people he knows seem to be children who have lost their mothers, and Fan Yuntian has no mother; Xiaobai also has no mother; even learned from Leng Xue's mouth that she and her brother also had no mother; What about yourself? Where is his mother? Does this count as a bunch of unfortunate people huddled together to keep warm? In the dark, the heavens finally couldn't bear to see it fall into the world, and the darling was too pitiful, so he arranged such a gathering? An Ran couldn't figure it out.

"According to the previous online game setting, don't you need any skills to get pets, minions, mounts, or whatever?" An Ran thought, "It's like in World of Warcraft, if you want to have a pet or a mount, you have to do what you do!" What kind of summoner skills do you use? Or buy from a pet merchant or something. How can there be a few words like this, and they take the initiative to give them a hug? This is too nonsense, if I were the pig's foot in the story, then Lao Tzu's pig's foot halo would be too bright. ”

Is this way of getting minions and mounts easy? In fact, it is not easy, after all, it is not easy for a person to gain the approval of others. Of course, our An Ran must wear the halo of the protagonist, looking at all the YY stories, what if the protagonist does not wear a halo? You don't wear a halo for the main character? All right! Then you just wait to make the readers sleepy! So An Ran's growth must be escorted, of course she will let him have some adventures or something, as long as it is not too excessive.

"I know the rivers and lakes," Xiaobai held his chin in both hands and watched his master draw circles on the ground. "Rivers, lakes and seas! That's not far away, that's very big, Brother An Ran, do you adults use the wrong words when you speak? ”

Xiao Bailu has been in the mountains and does not know the world, it is obvious that the rivers and lakes she understands are not related to the rivers and lakes that An Ran said, and the young man did not plan to explain to her what he meant by the rivers and lakes, anyway, she will naturally know if she follows her in the future.

"That's right! The rivers and lakes are not only far but also big. An Ran muttered.

"Brother An Ran, are you looking for bamboo in the mountains to make a small boat to carry it on your way, and when you see rivers and lakes in the future, you can float on the water, how fun it is!" The little girl naively fantasized.

"Brother Enron doesn't have the strength of our Xiaobai, how can he afford to carry a small boat?" The handsome young man was amused by the cute expression of his mount, "I am looking for bamboo to make a crutch, you see that I have not listened to my legs for the past two days!" ”

"That's ......," the little girl looked a little lost.

Although she has lived for a long time, she is still a child's heart, and a child has a great characteristic of fantasizing, in her opinion, if she can sit in a small boat and swing around on the water, blow the wind, bask in the sun, and catch a few fish, it is definitely an interesting thing. So when she heard An Ran's brother say that she didn't use bamboo to make a boat, but to make a cane, she was a little disappointed, but soon the little girl laughed happily.

"It's not bad to make a cane, so that you can limp like an old rabbit." She stood up and walked like the old man, "Huh! No, I have four legs and two more legs than Brother Enron, so I should walk like this. She turned into an elk and limped around An Ran.

An Ran slowly stood up and quietly looked at the elk in the performance, and suddenly the young man remembered a sentence: 'There is a kind of wine called sadness, it begins to brew when you are a child, and when it is brewing, you will be smoked to tears, and then you can't help but bury it in the bottom of your heart and try to forget, until many years have passed, suddenly one day, when you accidentally touch it and taste it, that feeling is really painful." ’

At this time, the little elk became a little girl again, and she looked at her master with a smile and said, "Do I act like Grandpa Rabbit?" ”

"Like! It's very similar," An Ran sighed lovingly as she touched the little girl's head. "It's just that this Luoxia Peak, we have gone where we should go, where have we seen the bamboo forest that Mr. Yu said?"

"There's a place we haven't been to yet, it's in the middle of the clouds, and once I just reached the edge of the mountain wall, my mother pulled me back, where do we want to go?"

"Of course," An Ran said, "If there is anything else we haven't gone to this Luoxia Peak, we must not let it go." ”

"Yay!" The little girl jumped up happily, "Brother An Ran, Brother Yuntian follow me." She ran down the hill first.

It's really a child's ability - crying and laughing fast.

But how could they keep up with her? Rough mountain roads, no! It's not called a road at all, it's just a place with relatively little vegetation and no strange rocks. Due to the cold weather and the sunny side, there is snow on the weeds on some of the ground, and thin ice picks hanging from the pine branches. The master and servant could only slowly help each other to walk down, both to prevent the soles of their feet from slipping and to be careful of the ice picks on their heads falling, so the walk was very difficult, and the little girl had to wait and wait.

"Look right there!" The little girl pointed to the mountain wall in front of her and said, "This is the road I wanted to go to, but was pulled back by my mother." ”

They followed her fingers, and some round stones the size of millstones rose from the mountain wall and stretched out into the depths of the clouds in the void. The stones jumped between them, separated by a long distance, like the kind of jumping rocks placed between streams, but at the moment the jumping rocks were floating in the misty air, and below them was an abyss. The stone is dark in color, the size of a millstone, round and smooth, and is connected by a dark blue gas like the string of Buddhist beads worn by a monk.

"How the is this going to be? Lao Tzu hasn't lived enough! Fan Yuntian looked at this road that was not a road and complained.

"It's really impossible to pass," An Ran, who stared at the round stone floating in the air, completely agreed, "Don't say go, I'm afraid it's difficult even to stand on it." ”

The little girl who was an elk tilted her head, blinked her lovely eyes and thought for a moment, she suddenly turned into an elk and jumped, and the white elk easily jumped on the first stone. The stone that had borne her weight sank slightly, Xiaobai did not stop the four hooves to exert force, and her body once again volleyed forward, her front hooves just reached the second stone and stepped down, and the hind hooves followed the hard kick back, and then rushed to the third stone, and then she turned around on the third stone on the spot, and jumped back quickly. The whole process of going back and forth is as light as a dragonfly touching water.

"Isn't that difficult?" The elk transformed into a little girl rubbing her wet hands and said, "If this can't pass...... Then you're big fools! ”

Fan Yuntian couldn't be killed, he would rather be a fool than accidentally fall into the abyss, but of course the NPC kid would not admit defeat, so he glanced at the little girl lightly.

"Childish! What's all the fun of jumping around on this rock? Uncle's time is precious, and he still has to climb the highest mountain! He said.

"It's not fun," An Ran directly pierced the retreat of his servant, "It's to go over and see if there will be the bamboo forest Mr. Yu said, we have searched all over the other places in this Luoxia Peak." Xiaobai is right, we are indeed big fools," An Ran looked at the little girl and laughed at herself, "You can easily jump on the rock, it doesn't mean that me and your brother Yuntian can do it, we can't jump over the gap between the stones and the stones, and we can't maintain our body balance on the round stones." “

"Huh! I see, just like a little monkey, there are many places where I can go and he can't go. The little girl pinched her fingers and muttered, "That's the only way to do it!" You ride on my back, and I carry you there. ”

An Ran was waiting for her words.

"The surname is Fan, are you waiting for us here? Or will I take you back into the servant space and let you out when you get there? An Ran turned his head to look at Fan Yuntian, who was about to retreat and didn't want to lose face.

"How is that possible?" As soon as he heard that he could ride on the back of the white deer to the depths of the clouds, the NPC kid immediately threw away his retreat, "What if there is danger on this rock jump?" You idiot can't win anyone, and it's not at all easy for Lao Tzu to look at you when he's not by your side. Fan Yuntian said shamelessly.

Xiaobai has changed back into his real body again, and a white elk is obediently kneeling on the ground.

An Ran took the lead in riding, followed by Fan Yuntian, who rubbed his hands and was very excited.

"Haha! I never thought I would be able to ride a horse in this life, it seems that it is still a bit interesting to follow you idiot - drive! He shouted at the coachman.

An Ran knew how thick Fan Yuntian's face was, so he didn't speak or just raised his middle finger at the NPC kid riding behind him.

As the white deer jumped forward, they left the ground that had originally brought people a sense of security, and a slight wind sounded in their ears, and they couldn't see anything under the clouds and mist, but it was certain that it must be high. Fan Yuntian suddenly wrapped his hands tightly around his master's waist.

"Mom! It's so high! The NPC kid yelled, "I'm flying!" I'm going to die! ”

An Ran could only clamp his legs tightly between Bailu's stomach, and the whole person bent down on Bailu's back, "Xiaobai, slow down, try to slow down!" The handsome young man nervously admonished.

Xiaobai, who turned into a white deer, snorted, although it couldn't speak now, it could fully understand its master's meaning, and sure enough, it slowed down.

They came to the first black stone, which was the size of a millstone, but it was round and smooth, so that it did not have many footholds, and the white deer could only stand with its four hooves together.

An Ran, who was lying on the back of the deer, suddenly saw a 'Mo' character carved on the stone, the character was neatly carved in regular script and not in traditional Chinese, and the young man felt that this character seemed to have been seen somewhere.

The white deer jumped forward again, and they came to the second stone, and the stone under them was also engraved with the second word 'listen', and they came to the third stone, which was engraved with the word 'wear', and then every time they arrived at a stone, there was a word on it.

An Ran suddenly realized, isn't this just a poem? He read softly: "Don't listen to the sound of the forest beating the leaves, why not chant and walk slowly." Bamboo cane shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid? A cloud of smoke and rain is Ren Ping's life. The steep spring breeze blows the wine and wakes up, slightly cold, and the mountain is obliquely shining but welcomes. Looking back at the bleak place, there is no wind and rain and no sunshine. “

This poem is called "Fixing the Storm. Don't Listen to the Sound of Forests Beating Leaves" is written by Su Shi, a great lyricist in the Song Dynasty, and it is also An Ran's favorite poem. He can always find himself in life in words, such as: 'Don't listen to the sound of the forest beating leaves' He replaced the wind and rain in the forest with the hardships encountered in life, and then don't be afraid of all kinds of hardships encountered every day, you might as well let go of your throat and loudly encourage yourself to move forward and so on.

When he was very young, he could remember this poem, and when he learned its meaning, he would think of it whenever he encountered unsatisfactory and difficult problems, and sometimes he recited it silently in his heart; Sometimes it was recited aloud. I don't know why every time he finishes reading this poem, his bad mood will be much better, "Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, it doesn't matter!" I gritted my teeth and persevered. Eating coarse tea and light meals and wearing ordinary clothes may not be worse than those who sit in luxury cars and enjoy fine clothes and food, so what are you afraid of? Even if there is nothing, I can still live this life peacefully with my own hands. He thought.

There are a total of sixty-two words in the word, so there are also sixty-two stones in this jumping rock in the air. The white deer jumped on it, and the oncoming white clouds and mist quickly drifted behind him, and when he reached the back dozen or so stones, the clouds gradually faded, and the sound of raindrops hitting the bamboo leaves came from An Ran's ears. Fan Yuntian can feel the 'slightly cold' in the word, but An Ran can't, and the handsome man can experience the freehand feeling in the word with his imagination. The mood of the master and servant has now changed from nervous at the beginning to calm.

System: You've discovered the Bamboo Rhyme Table.

The white deer jumped over the last stone, at this time the clouds and mist had all dispersed, and the front suddenly opened up, and what caught my eye was a purple platform, which was covered with green bamboos swaying slightly in the wind, as if a slender girl was dancing. The bamboo is not too tall, some large and some small, and the roots are crystal clear and glowing green, like jade. The raindrops that fell from the sky hit the bamboo leaves and gathered together, and they shakily and brightly like pearls.

Finally came to the ground, the master and servant turned over and stepped on the soft mud on the back of the deer, and the white deer turned into a little girl dressed in white again, she stared curiously at the scene in front of her, the mud was purple, the bamboo was emerald green, and the clouds around the platform were white.

"Wow! It's beautiful. “

After she sighed, she jumped with her hands behind her back and arrived at a green bamboo that was not much taller than An Ran, the size of a little thumb, the girl was ready to reach out to pick a tender green bamboo leaf, but found that she couldn't pick it off, but the little girl was not willing to start competing with the bamboo leaf, she grabbed the leaf with both hands and pulled it back hard, until she pulled the green bamboo out of a semicircle, and she was tired and depressed, but the bamboo leaf still did not leave the bamboo branch.

"What's the matter with your bamboo?" The little girl puffed out her cheeks and said, "I want to ...... You're going to go against this girl, aren't you? ”

In the end, Xiaobai could only let go of the bamboo leaves, and the bamboo bounced back, like a rickety tumbler. She can move 10,000 catties of boulders, but she can't help a small bamboo leaf.

Fan Yuntian put his dagger on the upper bamboo, and with his other hand raised the bone crusher hammer to hit the dagger, hoping that this would cut off the bamboo, but he could only do in vain, the extremely sharp tiger teeth bloodthirsty could not make the bamboo suffer even the slightest scratch.

"How?" Fan Yuntian stood up, hung the dagger on his belt and said, "These bamboos are harder than steel, how can we break them and take them away?" “

"Let's take a look!" An Ran also tried to break the smaller bamboos, but in the end she had to give up. "Ordinary bamboos don't have this green jade-like color, and Mr. Fish's statement that they can be used as weapons is enough to prove that they are extremely tough, otherwise there wouldn't be not a single bamboo leaf on the ground."

The three of them observed and walked between the bamboo forests, the bamboo forest was actually not big and the platform was very small, and after a while they came out of the bamboo forest to the other side of the platform, the edge of the platform was still cloudy and foggy and could not see ahead, so is this platform hanging high in the sky, or is it the kind of dangerous peak like an iron pillar? No one knows.

After walking only a few hundred meters, An Ran and Fan Yuntian felt the exhaustion of their bodies again, and An Ran could also feel this exhaustion, in reality, the body fixation bracket was putting pressure on him, as if there was a rubber band tied between his legs, and each step required much more strength than usual. In the end, they had to stop and sit on the ground to rest. Xiaobai is a little better, although she looks like a little girl, her strength is much greater than that of ordinary people.

"I find that every time there's a thick fog, it seems to make us very tired and tired." Fan Yuntian's chest rose and fell, and he gasped slightly, "Is it really as the two tree demons under the mountain said, the mountain is too strong and ordinary people can't stand it?" ”

"Who knows?" An Ran straightened her legs, crossed her hands on the back of her head and leaned against a bamboo, "Let's rest first and then turn around, if you really can't get the bamboo, you can leave here, don't force anything, the so-called I am fortunate to lose my life." ”

******

At the same time, in the 10,000-meter-high air above the bamboo rhyme platform, the goddess who disappeared in Qionglou Yuyu stood in a colorful auspicious cloud, she seemed to love to peek at this young man in the world, she watched him walk past the poem carved by her own hands, she expected him to remember something, but she was afraid that he suddenly remembered something, the song "Dingfeng Wave" that the man read lightly in his mouth. Don't listen to the sound of the forest beating the leaves" made her slightly distracted.

"What a good one, I am fortunate to lose my life!" She muttered softly with her lips furrowed.

The goddess stretched out her jade arm, and slowly raised her palm upward, and a bamboo slightly larger than her thumb in the bamboo forest suddenly rose from the ground and flew into the sky, and it passed through the clouds and came to the goddess in an instant. She grabbed it in her hand and gestured at it, then pulled out the Optimus Sword hanging from her waist and sharpened the bamboo.

Bursts of white light and hissing suddenly appeared in the sky, the white light was the sword light in the goddess's hand, and the hissing was the sound of the goddess cutting off the bamboo branches with her sword. In a few moments, an emerald green bamboo cane three feet three inches long appeared in her jade hand, and around her were bamboo branches and bamboo stalks that had been cut off in the air.

"Where should the essence of bamboo go?" She thought for a moment, "Little fish, you deserve some rewards too." ”

The goddess jade fingers circled and made a grasping motion, and then she turned her palm into a fist and gently clenched it, and the bamboo branches floating beside her were all pinched into dust. With a wave of her hand, the crystal green bamboo dust floated down from the sky, and the bamboo dust fell into the pool where Mr. Yu was, making the pool of water shine.

"What shall I call you? The goddess looked at the bamboo cane in her hand and said to herself, "Bamboo Dragon, um~ It's not too cheesy...... Bamboo cane shoes are lighter than horses, bamboo horses? That's right, it's called a bamboo horse - a childhood sweetheart! “

She suddenly thought of this word, and her heart warmed, and the goddess couldn't help but smile slightly, and her peerless face was beautiful. She carefully used the long sword in her hand to engrave the word 'bamboo horse' on the bamboo cane, sometimes curling her mouth and sometimes frowning, as if she was caressing her lover's chest, her long autumn eyes appeared blurred, like a girl who fell in love, where is there still half a point of the goddess fan.

After carving the words seriously, the goddess reluctantly threw the bamboo cane to the bamboo rhyme platform. The bamboo cane turned into a green light in the long air, and finally quietly landed not far from An Ran and them.

"Give you another broken bowl, and my brother An Ran can be a carefree little beggar in this Huaxia!" The goddess smiled mischievously, and suddenly a word came that should not have appeared in her mouth.

Above the nine heavens, there was a handsome god wearing a high crown and a face like white jade, with a gloomy face.

"Humph! The dignified goddess of the temple moved her mortal heart, did she really want to give up the good gods and immortals? “

Above the nine heavens, there was a white-bearded old man shaking his head and sighing.

"Hey! This little girl is only going to be a mandarin duck and not a fairy! “

******

Besides, An Ran and the three of them rested in the bamboo forest for about half a pillar of incense, and the handsome man stood up and moved his muscles and bones, and walked around the forest again. He was making one last attempt to see if he could find a bamboo in the middle of the bamboo forest that was relatively tender, and then find a way to break it and take it away, or pick up one that was blown off by the wind; Bamboo that has been cut by lightning will also do. But he walked around and around, rested for a while, and finally found nothing but to leave the place.

Just as he was about to get back on the white deer, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a bamboo stick lying quietly on the left side of his side—on the ground behind a bamboo. An Ran walked over quickly and picked it up, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: "It's really hard to find a place to step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!" “

Then he saw the properties of the bamboo stick, and the young man froze in place as if he had been hit by the Assassin's stick.

Fan Yuntian saw the strangeness of his master, leaned over and asked, "How is it?" Is Brother Enron a magic weapon? ”

"See for yourself!" The young man was a little disappointed and threw the bamboo cane to Fan Yuntian.

Bamboo horse (no rank)

Defense 0; Attack 0; Occupation-limited: All occupations; Wearing level: Level 1.

Fan Yuntian was surprised at first when he saw the attributes, and then he closed his mouth tightly and his cheeks bulged, trying to control himself.

"Laugh if you want!" An Ran said, "Don't hold back the internal injuries. ”

The sound of a teenager's laughter came from the bamboo forest.

"What the did I think this was some kind of awesome weapon?" Fan Yuntian finally couldn't hold back a laugh, "It turns out that it's not as good as even the worst iron sword!" The old man still swore that 'bamboo is a sword', how can he use bamboo as a sword? Is it to knock on people's heads with it? Oh! No, no, it's called a horse, not a sword, Brother An Ran, you might as well be like this," the NPC kid clamped the bamboo stick under his crotch to make a horseback riding motion, he slapped his ass and shouted: "Drive! Drive! Drive! And then you look more like an idiot. He couldn't help but throw away the bamboo stick again to cover his stomach hahaha laughed.

"Your uncle!" The handsome young man was angry and kicked his servant's ass, picked up the bamboo stick and looked at it and stuck it in his waist. "Let's go Xiaobai, don't pay attention to this little madman."

They returned the same way, compared to the curiosity and fright in the process of coming, An Ran is still a little lost, even if he is an open-minded person, he still hopes to find some good equipment in the game, which is also one of the attractions of many online games.

"Could it be that as Fan Yuntian said, will he really use this bamboo stick to knock on people's heads in the future?" An Ran didn't dare to imagine that kind of picture.

However, loss is loss, An Ran also feels that this bamboo stick is not unacceptable to him, at least it is green and bright, crystal clear and looks good, and it is not bad to make a bamboo stick in your hand! This is one of the advantages of a handsome young man, who can think openly and does not deliberately force it.

After returning to the place where they were standing earlier, Bailu turned into a little girl, "Brother An Ran, can I take a look at your bamboo stick?" Xiaobai said timidly.

"Absolutely." An Ran took off the bamboo stick and handed it to the little girl.

The little girl touched the smooth and round bamboo stick and looked at it carefully, then grabbed one end of the bamboo stick with one hand, first gently broke the bamboo stick and did not move, and then she put more pressure on her knees and pressed down with both hands, and the bamboo stick was only slightly bent.

"It's so hard!" The girl said, "This is a good weapon!" ”

Xiaobai looked around, and finally found an ancient pine the size of a basin, and the little girl gestured twice with a bamboo stick to the pine tree, and then made a horse step with a 'ah' sound, and she slashed the bamboo stick in her hand diagonally towards the pine tree. With a loud bang, ancient pines the size of a basin were cut down at waist length, and towering trees fell to the ground with icicles and snow.

The little girl returned the stick to her master, and touched the cut in the trunk with her chubby little hand, and found it smooth and flat, as if it had been cut not by the stick but by a sharp object.

"It's very sharp, you can't use it to knock people's heads like Brother Yuntian said." The girl cautioned.

At this time, An Ran suddenly thought of a word, 'turning decay into magic', some seemingly ordinary things can play their due role in the hands of capable people, just like the wooden sword in "The Condor Heroes" that An Ran watched in junior high school, Dugu sought defeat, it completely lost the sharpness and hardness that a sword should have, but the wooden sword in his hands could divide gold and break stones, and the sharpness was abnormal. Is the wooden sword very powerful? No, the person who uses the wooden sword has reached the martial arts realm where grass, trees, bamboos and stones can be used as swords, and picking leaves and flying flowers can hurt people.

"And what about yourself?" An Ran thought, "Lao Tzu is not Dugu seeking defeat after all, naturally he doesn't dare to hope that he can be invincible in the world with a fucking wooden sword, and I don't know that Ouyang Zhishan, who is known as the 'Sword God' in the Chinese game, and 'Mr. Jin Yong's 'Sword Demon' Dugu is more powerful?" Anyway, Lao Tzu doesn't have that kind of ability, this bamboo stick is indeed not an ordinary bamboo stick, at least it is not easy to break, and it can be used as a weapon, but that is in the hands of this little girl, for example, Lao Tzu! I'm afraid I can only use it as a crutch when climbing mountains! “

"Bamboo horse! Bamboo horse! One day, if your green plum appears, go find it! The handsome man quipped: "It's a bit of a shame to follow Uncle Ben." ”
