Chapter 34: Up the Mountain
A few people are out of line now: "I have to go up the mountain today, what should I do if Gong Ling doesn't wake up?" "That's it, you go up the mountain first, and I'll wait for Gong Ling here." Zhang Rongrong frowned and volunteered.
"This can't be done, we don't worry about you and Gong Ling here, this place is already relatively mysterious, yesterday each of us had a nightmare, and you almost sleepwalked under the house." Liu Yan was the first to object.
"What then? You can't put Gong Ling here alone. Feng Hui scratched his head and asked. In that case, let's take Gong Ling with us. We managed to make a small cart and push him up the hill with us. "Yang Xi came up with a solution." "This method is feasible, let's go to the president first and ask for tools." Zhang Rongrong thought it was a good idea.
Thankfully, they won the game, and now they can have any climbing tools they want.
"It's not impossible for you to borrow a cart, but I warn you. The mountain is not so easy to climb, there is a section on it that needs to be climbed with bare hands, how do you take a person to go up? Originally, there was a nightmare in the game design, if you can come out of the nightmare, it proves that you still have hope of victory, if this person can't wake up from the nightmare, then he has actually been eliminated. So I don't think you need to take him with you, it's his own personal fate. The president said very seriously.
"No," Zhang Rongrong immediately interrupted the president. "I believe him, he must be unable to wake up for some reason now. He's not someone to give up so easily! "Zhang Rongrong is extremely determined." We also believe in Gong Ling, he is our backbone, he is so strong, calm and wise, we believe that he can survive, and we will not abandon him. Yang Xi also said categorically.
The trees on the mountain are very lush, the birds are chirping non-stop, the sun shines obliquely through the dense leaves, everyone is mottled with shadows, they are wearing camouflage uniforms, mixed in this woods is a good protective color, 4 people in a car and the whole forest into one.
They put Gong Ling on a small cart, the small cart is actually a wheelbarrow, Zhang Rongrong spread a layer of mattress on the car, and then asked Yang Xi and Feng Hui to carry Gong Ling up, and then covered him with a quilt and covered him tightly to prevent him from getting cold. Zhang Rongrong took another pillow from the room and stuffed it under Gong Ling's head to prevent him from getting dizzy when he went up the mountain due to the slope and bumps of the mountain.
The road up the mountain is not easy to walk, the mountain is still a primitive mountain, and there is no ready-made road that has been explored by predecessors. A group of 4 of them still has to push this small cart, which is really not easy to walk. Fortunately, the president gave them some tools before they came, including crutches, machetes, and some climbing tools. They were chopping down trees and walking on crutches, one foot deep and one foot shallow. Gong Ling's cart walked at the end of them, and waited until they reached the width of the cart before they barely pushed forward a little bit.
The wheelbarrow swayed, and Zhang Rongrong looked back at Gong Ling from time to time to see if he was awake and uncomfortable. Liu Yan quipped mischievously: "Rong Rong, if I can't wake up, will you take care of me like this?" "Of course, I hung you directly around my neck and kept patting you so that you could sleep a little deeper." "Hahahaha, Rong Rong, I also want to hang it around your neck." Feng Hui was going to die of laughter.
"Why don't you say Gong Ling is still awake, what the president said is so terrible, if he can't wake up by himself, will he be eliminated?" Liu Yan asked with some fear. "I don't think Gong Ling is like this, he is better than us, he is smart, and there are many ways, he must have encountered some trouble in his dream and couldn't solve it, and he should be able to wake up when he gets it done." Zhang Rongrong looked back at Gong Ling and analyzed.
Gong Ling was still trapped in the formation at this time, he could hear the conversation outside and see what was happening. When Zhang Rongrong and the others woke up and went to her bedside, through their conversation, Gong Ling learned that everyone had fallen into a nightmare. There was something wrong with that school, and soon he heard the words of the president, if he couldn't wake up, he would be eliminated, he didn't want to be eliminated, he wanted to make his dream come true in the game with them. No, he wants to wake up, he is very grateful to them, they didn't leave him, they treated him as a friend, they didn't abandon him, they didn't give up, and they took him up the mountain with him.
Especially Zhang Rongrong, who takes care of him so much, but in his current situation, how can he get out of the flying sand and rocks, thunder and blizzard? It's a formation. But this formation, which only appeared in ancient books, he would not understand. He remembered that all the formations were designed according to the Five Elements Bagua. He'd have to find the door. But he couldn't even figure out where the Five Elements Bagua was, how did he find this life? He tried to throw stones at the perimeter. But when the stone was thrown, a new round of wind and thunder and lightning was stirred up. He had to think again......
Along the way, there is always a lingering aroma around, and wisps of it flow into everyone's nose. It clears their minds and fascinates them. This aroma is not as charming as that of the osmanthus tree, nor as enchanting as the scent of roses. It is a light, soothing fragrance that calms your mood. Although climbing the mountain is very tiring, the heart will beat very fast, and the physical strength will be quickly lost, but with the nourishment of this aroma, it seems that the whole person's spirit has improved a lot. "I see, it's an aura. There are many such descriptions in the immortal cultivation novels I have read. We should have arrived at a spiritual mountain, which is full of spiritual energy and is a good place for cultivation. Liu Yan suddenly shouted.
"You traversal brain, you believe everything in the book, then you can stay here and cultivate." Feng Hui couldn't help but despise her. Yang Xi instead defended Liu Yan: "What she said has a certain truth. This kind of aura has a basis in this kind of deep mountain and old forest. Because of the growth of perennial trees, this place has become a natural oxygen bar. The oxygen emitted by so many green trees makes the air here fresher than the surroundings. You will feel a slight sweetness when you breathe, and it will also make you feel refreshed, in fact, you will breathe more oxygen in your head. ”
"Look at what I said right, Brother Yang said that I was right, this is not made up in a book." Liu Yan began to frustrate at Feng Hui. "Then you might as well take this opportunity to take a few more breaths. We're at a place where the altitude isn't too high, so the oxygen is still relatively abundant, and I guess if we climb to the top again, we will have difficulty breathing, so now take this opportunity to recharge our batteries. Zhang Rongrong analyzed.
"Generally, there will be spiritual objects in places with sufficient spiritual energy, such as spiritual plants, or small animals, if you can meet one, it would be good if the spiritual objects could be sold for money or used as pets." Liu Yan made a fantasy shape. "You're really whimsical, if you had this, you would have been poached by the president." Feng Hui raised his eyebrows and said. "What do you think is the origin of this president, and why did you become the president here?" Zhang Rongrong asked. "It's hard to say, I think it's the incarnation of the navigator in the game, waiting to torture us!"
"Then should we sit cross-legged, sit here and breathe a little more, and then go later." Liu Yan said playfully. "Time is already tight, let's hurry up, you are not an ancient, what can you cultivate by sitting cross-legged?" A few people chatted and chatted, slowly moving forward.
Zhang Rongrong was on crutches in one hand and struggled to cut through the branches in front of her with a knife in the other. The branches are some years old, some tall and some short. The low bushes are their biggest obstacle. Yes! Accidentally, a branch scratched Zhang Rongrong's wrist, the branch was very sharp, and blood was cut out in an instant, the mouth was quite deep, and a few drops of blood dripped down the wrist on the ground. The scar on the white wrist of the right hand is about 4 centimeters long. Liu Yan hurriedly ran over and asked, "What's wrong?" Oops, Rong Rong is bleeding. "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a scratch from a branch." Zhang Rongrong licked it with her tongue, licked the blood clean, and found a band-aid and stuck it on her wrist.
The temperature of the sun gradually rose, and the woods were not as cool as they were when they first started climbing the mountain in the early morning, but they were gradually getting hotter, and the four of them were oozing sticky sweat. Coupled with the fatigue of continuous mountain climbing, everyone's faces were red and tired. Zhang Rongrong was on crutches with her left hand, and wiped the sweat on her head and neck with her right hand, her hands were full of sweat, she shook it off, but she accidentally touched the wound, and it seemed that blood was oozing out again. Although the smell of blood is not heavy, the smell mixed with sweat is also far away. Zhang Rongrong always felt that there was often a sound behind her. She looked back at Gong Ling and took off the quilt on Gong Ling's body to make him cooler. Gong Ling still hadn't woken up, but unlike before, he was calm and expressionless, but now he frowned slightly. Zhang Rongrong looked back again, but she didn't see anything else.
Zhang Rongrong's intuition became stronger and stronger, she felt that something was observing them, she kept looking back but saw nothing, she sometimes suddenly turned her head to look in the direction of the voice, but she didn't find anything. She reminded the other people that there seemed to be something behind them, but Yang Xi didn't see anything either, so they could only remind everyone to be careful and observe their surroundings more.
Slowly, they stopped talking, just kept moving forward, cutting off the branches around them. The shade of the trees was dappled and the road was rough, and they twisted and pushed Gong Ling's car and slowly moved forward.
Gong Ling sat in his array, his eyebrows and eyes did not move, but he kept thinking. He is recalling all the ancient books he has read, what kind of principle is the Five Elements Bagua? But after all, it was a long time, and he didn't study it particularly thoroughly at that time, so he didn't know where the birth gate was. He heard Zhang Rongrong's conversation with them, could it be that they were in danger? Gong Ling was a little anxious, and Zhang Rongrong was injured, so he was also a little anxious. His eyebrows furrowed, and suddenly he heard a loud roar. Oops! They met the bear!
