The two men on the cliff face leaned motionless against the rock, their hair flying, even though the back of their clothes was already wet with moisture, they just looked calmly ahead.

Behind the light mist of water, the original cyan leaves swayed in the wind, and the slight whirling sound formed another special melody in the sound of flowing water, with a vague fragrance.

"Have you rested?" Zhou Xian broke the silence between the two, he looked sideways at the girl with a dull gaze and was obviously in a state of emptiness, and raised his hand to pat her shoulder.

Ji Xiaoran's return to his senses was too obvious. The eyes that had not moved for a long time blinked, then looked at Zhou Xian, licked his lips that were a little dry by the wind, and then said two words that were a little hoarse, "Okay." ”

"However, the road ahead is not easy......"

The voice was full of reluctance. Due to the problem of the order of coming down, Ji Xiaoran stood in front of the direction of travel. Zhou Xian leaned out a little and saw the road in front of her.

Without the protection of the rocks, the water flows directly against the rock wall to form a wide curtain, and the shallow recessed plank road becomes the only space to avoid the impact of the water. The light rays are scattered, casting shimmering ripples in front.

If you accidentally touch the water curtain, you can only be swept into it and rush off the cliff.

"Shall I move to the front?"

"But don't, what if you fall off before you can move it?" Ji Xiaoran gestured with his foot on the ground, "This width is definitely not half a meter." ”

This means that, in addition to being close to the rock wall, there may be places where you have to move with your back to you.

She held her breath in her chest, as if she had gathered her waist and abdomen in this way, and after the whole person was pulled up, she would no longer be close to the water curtain, and began to move forward carefully. After all, it is a naturally formed plank road, and there is no animal footsteps to polish and polish, and from time to time there are gravel under her shoes and knocking on the soles of her feet. Then she threw the stone into the curtain of water with a flick of her foot, and the small splash was swallowed up just as it had just formed.

The plank road extends down with a very gentle slope, although some places are really eroded by the water flow and swallows up half of the road surface, forcing the two of them to move a little bit against the wall without sucking their stomachs.

"You're a little red." Taking advantage of this moment to be able to see the face, Zhou Xian saw that the girl's face and nose were already red. This is not only the sunlight that penetrates the water curtain, but also the reduction of oxygen content.

It is often one to two kilometers away from the water curtain, and although the water curtain can occasionally be seen separated by rocks, not all of the rocks can be directly above the boardwalk. The oxygen content in the air in the plank road covered by the water curtain was relatively low, and they walked in such a high degree of tension that they were forced to breathe deeper and heavier.

"Can the Turtle Breath Pill be used in this environment?" Ji Xiaoran didn't want to be reckless at this time, so he leaned directly against the rock wall and slowed down. She remembered that when she was in Yanzhou, where the aura was so strong that it affected her breathing, the Turtle Breath Pill could have an effect.

"The main reason for that thing to work is that there is not enough oxygen from the outside, so the oxygen is released to feed back." Zhou Xian took a breath slowly, without moving, in fact, the oxygen content in it was still enough, "If you really want to hold it, you may need to hold it all the time." "Recommended Reading TV//

Otherwise, it's just like sugar.

Ji Xiaoran sighed and took another step, "How long will we have to walk here?" You can't really be trapped on this boardwalk tonight, right? ”

With such a narrow road, if she really wanted to sleep here, she was really afraid that she would roll straight down.

"If we come across a wider place again, let's stop."

The two actually crossed a staggered break halfway. More than one story below the fracture, there appears to be a platform of more than one square meter. At that time, they did not choose to go down from there, but walked straight over, because it seemed to be an isolated protruding rock.

But it at least shows that there is a place on the cliff for them to spend the night.

"Why don't we go back." Ji Xiaoran had a bitter face, "How long have we been walking from there?" Half-hour? ”

"Go back now, and go back tomorrow?" Zhou Xian gestured to the bright round spots that loomed behind the water curtain, "The sun is still so high." ”

Ji Xiaoran was a little reluctant, but he could only be obedient. She glanced at the watch on Zhou Xian's wrist, it seemed that it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, "If we get to the next place where there is a gap, let's have dinner, right?" ”

The two of them haven't eaten anything since the two-in-one meal of breakfast and lunch, even if they don't have time to eat, it's for cleanliness and hygiene. At this time, after walking seven or eight kilometers intermittently, Ji Xiaoran already felt that his Five Organs Temple was beginning to react.

"Good. However, you must go to a spacious enough place to rest at night. Zhou Xian is also tired, so he has to consider safety even more. I'm so tired today, I guess it's noon again when I start leaving tomorrow.

It's a coincidence, and after spending another half an hour walking nearly a kilometer, the plank road suddenly disappeared. In front is a cave that is more than five meters horizontally and nearly ten meters longitudinally, this situation is a little similar to that in Kunlun, but this plank road is located in mid-air, from here to the entrance of the cave, it is estimated that there are six or seven meters.

directly followed the morning set, except that Ji Xiaoran pulled Zhou Xian's arm first, and the latter half-suspended his body and inserted the scarlet blade into the stone wall of half a meter in the cave, so as to ensure that the feet could fall in the cave when the two of them fell.

Finally had a spacious place, Ji Xiaoran collapsed directly to the ground, looking at the high cave roof and the small bell leaning against the rock wall.

This cave is indeed peculiar. The rock at the top of the cave seemed to be a little protruding, like a row of teeth stiffly dividing the water flowing through the mouth of the cave into several wisps, some of which continued to fall downward, while the other part of the water flowed along the rock wall into a stream, flowing down the uneven rock to the cave that was a little deeper.

"Don't lie down, let's get something to eat first." Although Zhou Xian was also sitting on the ground, he did not collapse at will like Ji Xiaoran. He pushed the girl's shoulder, "Eat something hot at night, give me something and you can lie down again." ”

Ji Xiaoran didn't want to move, so he directly stuffed the ring into Zhou Xian's hand, and then opened the authority of the Sumeru ring. She just lay there, tilting her head sideways to see him take out a small stainless steel pot that looked like a round lunch box from the ring. The lid of the pot was opened, and what was taken out of it was really a plate for two people, as well as spoons and chopsticks.

The metal buckle that originally fastened the lid of the pot was hung with a metal hook as the ear of the pot, and then it was directly dropped ten centimeters above the ground with an iron frame. Zhou Xian took out the newspaper and flint again, and began to make a fire.

A bottle of mineral water was poured into the pot and boiled until it boiled, and after scooping two cups of boiling water, Zhou Xian knocked two eggs into the pot, put the noodles in, and bit open the package of crispy sausages, and poured all the round crispy sausages into the pot.

In the end, when the pot of fragrant noodles was placed in front of Ji Xiaoran, she was already stunned. The chopsticks rummaged through it, and even fished out a few vegetables, "All the greens?" ”

"Dehydrated vegetables, the taste is not as good as fresh, let's just take it." Zhou Xian glanced at the time, "It's almost seven o'clock, hurry up and eat." ”

At this time, although the hour hand had passed the seven o'clock position, the sky had not yet darkened.

Yesterday this time they were both sleeping and the other indulging, neither of them noticing that the night was coming so late.

At this moment, on the high cliff, the two of them guarded the small pot with plates, looking to the west through the window framed by water.

The evening clouds formed a sea of clouds, gilded by the setting sun with a beautiful gold rim, and a few rays of light shot out from the clouds like golden wisps. The sun was constantly setting, as if this was really the end of the world, and when the earth was covered in night, it stayed there until it rose tomorrow.

The light turned from gold to orange, and then turned into flames that ignited the sea of clouds, spreading from the distant horizon to below them, reflecting the red branches of the wood.

When the fire burns out, the last rays of light in the sky are swallowed up by twilight, and night falls, with a hint of coolness.

Ji Xiaoran drank the last mouthful of noodle soup, and felt the warm soup flowing in her stomach, although it was so light that she could only taste a little salty and egg taste, it still made her feel so comfortable that the pores of her whole body were opened, and then she handed the chopsticks to the person next to her, "This scenery is really not strange that people thought the sky was round in ancient times." ”

Doesn't the sun that has just been setting in the sea of clouds look like it is bathing and relaxing in the sea after a long day of work?

"If there really is an end to the world, it might really be like this." Zhou Xian took the tableware and pointed to another cauldron hanging behind, "The water is boiling, you can wash it with some cold water, and you can soak your feet and relax." ”

In the middle of the meal, Zhou Xian hit a bucket of stream water in the hole and boiled it on the fire, and was boiling in the pot at this time. Although the water is not drinkable, it does not cause any significant discomfort when touched, so it is enough to use it as domestic water.

Ji Xiaoran rinsed his mouthwash twice, and then wiped his face casually twice without a towel, and couldn't wait to put his legs into the basin, and the person lazily fell on the sleeping bag.

"Senior, how tall do you think we've come down today?" The hot water soothed Ji Xiaoran's feet and relaxed her nerves, "How many days do we have to stay here?" ”

Even though it was only the next day, she was already missing her bed.

"It's almost a kilometer." Zhou Xian estimated and touched, "It is said that if the wood is a thousand feet high, then it will be about three or four thousand meters, if everything goes well, we will be able to reach it in about three or five days?" ”

After all, it's too far away, and it will take a day to walk through it.

But no one answered him. Zhou Xian put down the pot and turned around, only to find that the girl had fallen asleep with the water basin like this, and the flickering firelight dyed her sleeping appearance with a thin orange light.

"I'm really not afraid of spilling over the water." Reluctantly, he fished the girl's feet out of the basin, wrapped the towel around both paws, and began to wipe them gently.

Zhou Xian felt that although Ji Xiaoran was quite tall, his feet were not very big, and he seemed to be a few centimeters longer than his palms.

Carefully moving her body into the sleeping bag, Zhou Xian rubbed her messy hair, "Good dreams." ”
