Death, perhaps, is simple.

But it is extremely difficult to overcome the fear in the heart.

And that's what I am now.

Lingzhi is huge, but in my eyes it is not enough, because next to it is the endless abyss.

The wind was fierce, and the whistling sound was like a spell.

I thought that by standing on top of the Lingzhi for a few minutes, I would be able to overcome my fear and leap onto another piece of Lingzhi.

But I was wrong, the longer I stayed outside, the more fear grew in my heart.

I can't describe my feelings in words at this moment, just like when I faced Bai Youlan, which was worth tens of millions, hesitating, hesitating, uneasy, and afraid......

At this moment, I wish that another consciousness lurking in my body would awaken, but it didn't.

Cast a spell to get rid of the female ghost before, but it seems to have consumed too much and has not reappeared.

"Lao Yan, what about your previous arrogance? Is everything that has been said a fart? Jump, what are you afraid of? Lao Fei urged in the crack, so angry that he wanted to rush out several times.

I pouted, this guy was scared to death just now, but now it's like this.

"You really don't have a low back pain when you stand and talk...... Wait a little longer. ”

"Wait for a yarn, you come back for me, get out of the way and let Lao Tzu show you, what a fucking shit."

“……”

"Old fatty, stop urging, let Tianyan come by himself, I believe he will be able to." Yan Xiaoying's scolding sound came from overhead.

Hearing this, Lao Fei cursed in a low voice, but he didn't open his mouth to urge again.

I looked up at Yan Xiaoying and found her standing on it, her eyes firm, encouraging me.

Seeing her like this, I took another deep breath, and then slowly stood up, stared at the piece of Ganoderma lucidum not far away, and jumped over.

This step is like crossing the line of life and death, stepping into the ghost gate, and my heart is beating hard.

Eventually, I succeeded.

Stabilizing my body, I breathed a long sigh of relief, turned to look at the piece of Ganoderma lucidum standing behind me, and felt a little happy in my heart.

As Yan Xiaoying said before, everything is difficult at the beginning, and with the first step, it is obviously much easier to take the second step.

When the wind was a little lighter, I jumped out again.

Soon I came to the bottom of Yan Xiaoying, because I considered that a piece of Ganoderma lucidum might not be able to bear the weight of the two of us, not to mention the limited space, the two of us could only stand separately.

After steady, the two looked down.

The old fat muttered out of the crack, glanced up at me, and said contemptuously: "Lao Yan, you show me a good look!" As soon as the words fell, he jumped out.

This guy is indeed more daring than me, at least in this kind of place.

But I don't have an inferiority complex, because everyone has different fears, and I may not be afraid of others, just as some people are afraid of snakes and rats and some people are not.

"Let's go, be careful. We're not climbing cliffs now, we don't have a safety rope, and if we make the slightest mistake, our lives will be gone. ”

Seeing that we had all climbed the Lingzhi Cloud Ladder, Yan Xiaoying breathed a sigh of relief and admonished.

"Old fat and lighter, you are too heavy, I am worried that these lingzhi under my feet will not be able to bear your weight." She went on to add.

"Say what? We don't weigh much, in ancient times, it was a beautiful man with a good demeanor, and it would hurt my heart when you said this. ”

Yan Xiaoying glanced at him, followed the Lingzhi Cloud Ladder, and continued to climb up.

I followed, trying not to look down and ease the fear in my heart.

Yan Xiaoying is right, this kind of climbing is indeed extremely dangerous, and our lives are at stake, so we have to be cautious.

In this way, every time we climb a piece of Ganoderma lucidum, we need to grasp the timing, that is, after the wind is weak.

After more than an hour like this, I calculated that I had climbed thirty or forty meters, and I didn't know how far it was from the red palace above.

Fortunately, although the process during the period was very dangerous, the three of them were cautious, but there was no danger.

"Wait a while, rest first, my stomach is too hungry to crawl."

At this time, Lao Fei sat on a piece of Ganoderma lucidum, leaning against the wall of the tree, panting and calling for us.

Calculate the time, since we woke up when we met the corpse eaters, we have not eaten for a day and a night, hunger is inevitable, but we will definitely not starve to death.

At least, you won't starve to death for three days, and you can't say for a long time.

After all, we are now climbing the Lingzhi Cloud Ladder, and the physical and mental energy consumed is extremely huge.

"Hold on a little longer, I see a vine hanging down not far above, let's climb up and fix ourselves with the vine and then rest safer."

Yan Xiaoying cheered us on as she continued to climb.

Hearing this, Lao Fei and I had no choice but to lift our spirits and follow closely behind Yan Xiaoying.

After climbing more than 20 meters again, he finally saw the vines that Yan Xiaoying said, these vines were almost as thick as an arm, like geckos climbing on the surface of the tree.

It looks very much like the thunder root I saw in the cave tombs before, the cane is like sugar cane, purple and red, and the knots, like bamboo, and there are rhizomes like claws at the knots, and the thick bark is pierced deep into the tree.

"Great, these canes, like sugar cane, must have a lot of juice to quench your thirst."

After seeing these vines, Lao Fei was overjoyed, and after climbing for so long, we had already had a dry mouth.

At that moment, the old fat planned to break a cane stem and suck the juice to quench his thirst.

"Don't drink the juice of this vine, it's poisonous!" Seeing this above, Yan Xiaoying hurriedly stopped it and said coldly: "This is the legendary Purple Star Vine, the juice leaves and fruits are poisonous. Although the poison is not fatal, if it is ingested into the abdomen, it can cause paralysis of the whole body, lack of consciousness, and it takes half a day to recover. ”

In such a place, if the whole body is paralyzed uncontrollably, it is almost like sending you to death.

When the old fat heard this, he was so frightened that he almost couldn't stand steadily.

"Purple Star Vine? How come I've never heard of this plant? "I sat down on a piece of Lingzhi to rest and asked Yan Xiaoying.

"There are thousands of animals and plants in the world, and there are many things that have not been recorded in books, and there are even some things that the world has never seen at all, you know the "Compendium of Materia Medica", right? The book contains a wide range of animals, plants, minerals, and many other things. But even if Li Shizhen is well-informed, what is recorded in his book is only one-tenth of this vast world. ”

"The purple star vine is a rare species, its rarity is like a white orchid, it is rare to see in the world, and my grandmother and I have never seen it in the mountains countless times, but I have heard her mention it."

"This plant is extremely tenacious, but it is very rare, and a single purple star vine has tens of thousands of branches, and its huge scale is unimaginable. It depends...... The top of this tree must be covered with this purple star vine, and its rhizomes absorb the sap of the tree to survive and live in symbiosis with it. ”

"When we looked up, we saw that it was densely packed with vines hanging down from the wisteria, and with these vines, even the Ganoderma lucidum was much less."

"What then? There is no village in front of this place, there is no shop in front of the village, there is not even anything to quench our thirst, and I don't know when we will see that palace, and if we continue like this, we will die of thirst, even if we don't starve to death. ”

Lao Fei doesn't care what the purple star vine is or not, now he just wants to find saliva to quench his thirst.

Not to mention the old fat, I am also dry now, looking at the purple and transparent cane in front of me, the juice in it is full, but I can't bite, this feeling, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

"How can it be? Bear with it, it's better to talk less and save your energy. ”

"Why doesn't it rain when this thief?"

"You think beautifully, it just rained heavily last night, and now you want it to rain again, do you really think that you are God, let it rain and it will rain for you?"

"Isn't there a kind of magic in the Dao Gate that can call the wind and rain and scatter beans into soldiers? Lao Yan, will you give it a try? “

", that's a fairy spell, don't say that I don't know how to do it, even if I can, I can't use it, don't dream."

"Damn, weren't you very good before, why can't you do it now?"

"You say it again? Who can't? ”

"Alright, you two don't quarrel, save some effort. It's going to get dark, and in the evening, the wind may be stronger, and the temperature is cold, so we have to find a safe place to spend the night. ”

As soon as Yan Xiaoying spoke, we all fell silent.

She's right, the temperature difference between day and night is huge, and we're high up right now, so it's very cold even during the day, let alone at night.

Before it gets dark, we have to find a place where we can perch, preferably around a fire to keep warm, or we have to freeze into popsicles.

"There may be a tree hole in it, so climb it after resting."

Seeing that the dusk was late, we didn't dare to delay too much, gritted our teeth and continued to climb.

This time, with the help of the hanging red star vine, we climbed a lot easier, and we climbed nearly fifty or sixty meters in only half an hour.

As Yan Xiaoying said, the higher you climb, the more purple star vines there are. By the end, there was no bark to be seen, and it was covered with dense canes and palm-sized green leaves.

Its vine stems are like purple snakes entwined with each other, and they are very tough and difficult to break.

During this time, I found a lot of wood chips between the entanglements of the canes, and the wood chips looked fresh, as if they had just been dug up.

Lao Fei and Yan Xiaoying also noticed these broken wood chips hanging between the vines, these wood chips should have been left by the group of people who came up before us, maybe it was Lu Ji and them.

We all wondered in our hearts, what are these people doing digging for wood chips when they have nothing to do? Aren't you tired of climbing and can't break the whole tree?

This doubt was not answered until we climbed dozens of meters up again, and the night was about to fall.

Because we saw a tree hole, a fresh, tree hole that had been dug up in the tree.

This tree hole is about three square meters, and can accommodate four or five people to sit in it without feeling crowded.

After entering the hole, I saw a fire inside, in addition to empty bottles such as food bags and canned Coke.

The old fat picked up a Coke bottle and shouted angrily: "Damn, hateful!" There is really no comparison between people, people drink Coke and eat canned food here, and what about the two of us? I didn't even have a sip of water to drink...... I'm so angry. ”

"Come on, what's the use of complaining too much? The strength of others is superb, and we can't compare. Now that we can pick up the hole in the tree they left behind and spend the night safely, this is a blessing in misfortune, what more do we want? ”

"Lao Tzu is just angry, isn't this a show off with the three of us?"

Lao Fei scolded while throwing all the cans and food bags down from the hole in the tree, as the so-called out of sight is clean.

"These people really have the strength to dig such a big cave."

I walked around the cave and felt a little emotional.

"The strength of each of them is above the spiritual realm, and if they want to dig such a cave, they won't waste too much effort." Yan Xiaoying sat down on the side and said in a deep voice.

"We should be prepared, maybe we will encounter them soon."

"What can I do to prepare, we are like this now, we can only see one step at a time......" I smiled bitterly: "The three of us, except for you to reach the spirit realm, Lao Fei and I will be on the right with them, and it is estimated that we will have to be chopped up by them in less than a round." ”

"There's no way, the disparity in strength is huge, the difference is too big, and there is no chance of winning."

The old fat, who has always boasted about himself, is also depressed at the moment.
