Chapter 289: The Story of Linkong Mountain

In the end, it was a struggle, but I decided to go and see, since I had come, I was still afraid of a yarn, even if I died, I had to go up and take a look.

Although this place gives people a very empty feeling, and a sense of emptiness emerges invisibly, but I think that I have climbed for so long, I can't come up in vain.

There is also a person living in it, and when the time comes, I won't show my purpose, so that the demon doesn't see it.

Immediately, I stepped up the stone staircase. But when I stepped on the stone stairs with the first step, I instantly felt a cold feeling under my feet, as if I was stepping on a piece of ice, and that feeling began to spread rapidly from under the soles of my feet, and after a while it spread to my leg bones, so cold that I couldn't help but shudder.

I hurriedly pushed it back, and when I went back, the feeling disappeared in an instant, as if all the feelings I had just had were fantasies.

After pausing in place for a few seconds, I hunched over and touched the stone staircase with my hand, and sure enough, when my hand touched the stone staircase, the cold feeling was real, and it was not my mistake at all.

That's amazing, isn't it? I gently stroked this stone staircase with my hand, it was incredible, there was such a wonderful thing in the world, there was such a magical stone.

But what worries me is that this is a staircase, if it is only three or two steps, then it is okay to say, I can rush up quickly, but there are several miles of stone stairs here, can I pass through it?

I'm afraid that before I get halfway there, my legs and feet are already unconscious, and I will become a waste of legs as I walk.

At this moment, I am glad that I did not act recklessly, if I had not been entangled in whether to go up the mountain in the first place, but just stepped on it, I was afraid that when I found out that something was wrong, I would not have been able to come back.

After thinking about it for a while, I thought of a solution.

I took off my baggage, but I had a few pieces of clothing with me, and I tore them into strips of cloth and wrapped them around them, so that the cold feeling on the slate could be prevented from spreading to the slate, or at least lightened a little.

After tidying up, I took out another wine, which has the effect of warding off the cold and can help me keep out the cold.

While drinking, I went up the mountain at the same time, and I was a little vague in my heart, where did I get such a stone, I don't think it was mined on the spot in this Linkong Mountain, this is simply impossible, otherwise I didn't have a cold feeling all the way to the mountain, but I was deceived when I got to this mountain, it was really strange.

As I walked over a hole, I saw a man lying in front of me, lying motionless on the stone staircase, as if he were half dead.

My heart tightened, this is really strange, how can anyone come here? It seems that he must not be able to bear the cold feeling coming from this foot, so he fell here, and if he continues like this, he will definitely die.

I trotted up, but when I got closer, I realized that the man I had just seen was nothing more than a man in his clothes, and inside the clothes was already a dry skeleton, and this man had already died here.

I looked at the skeleton, and I was secretly surprised in my heart, it seems that this stone staircase is really not simple, fortunately, I was prepared before, otherwise I would really follow in the footsteps of this person, and I would definitely die here.

After a few sips of spirits, I continued to walk towards the top, and on this stone staircase, I walked for more than an hour, several miles, and two hours to complete, which was really incredible, and I thought I was fast enough, but I walked for so long, that I felt mysterious.

After stepping on this staircase, the skeletons I saw were not one, but twelve, twelve dry bones, which means that here, I know that there are twelve dead people, and they died on this stone staircase, but I don't know? And how many?

It wasn't until I had walked the last step of the stairs that the cold bones on my body felt like I had suddenly encountered a burst of fire, and it disappeared in an instant.

And the old man Tian also appeared at this time, as soon as this guy appeared, the reality grinned, and said again: "I didn't expect it, you are really smart, if those people can use their brains like you, they will not die on this stone staircase." ”

Old man Tian couldn't help but be surprised by what he said, he knows everything? I even wonder if I was deceived by him, this grandson, most likely disrespectful to the old, told me a lie, deceived me, won my sympathy, and finally tricked me into coming up the mountain.

"Don't look at me with such eyes, I'm also a test for you to do this, otherwise how can you know if you can deal with that old demon? I've seen what you're capable of when I'm at the inn, but I'm going to have to look at you again, don't I? ”

"And the facts have also proved that you are indeed very smart, good at thinking, and a capable person, and you are not an ordinary person, although you have so many strips of cloth wrapped under your feet, and you drink a lot of spirits to keep out the cold, but this is not enough for you to withstand the cold of the stone steps."

Old man Tian looked at me, and looked at me carefully around me when he spoke, his eyes were incredible, and he was stunned, and I was numb and uncomfortable.

"In that case, then we don't have to go up the mountain first, why don't you tell me the story of this stone staircase first?" I looked at the top of the mountain, there were still two or three miles away at this time, I walked up, I was tired enough, I would rest for a while, and I looked down the mountain here, as far as the eye could see, farther than all the viewing platforms in the world, it was simply beautiful, the whole earth was stepped under my feet, all of them were included in my eyes, I had never seen such a wide earth.

"Okay, then I'll tell you the story of this stone staircase." Old man Tian didn't refuse, helped some of his beard, and said slowly.

It turns out that this stone staircase is called the Southern Ladder, don't look at the name It sounds very good, it is both domineering and meaningful, but this place means death here, and it has the title of the Death Ladder.

The Southern Ladder, with a total length of eight miles, is paved with a total of 24,000 stones, and these stones are knocked out from the bottom of the glacier in the North Sea.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but be surprised, looking at the old man Tian, his eyes changed, and his first reaction was that you brag to me, what's wrong with blowing it, blowing it so mysteriously for me?

What else do you say about coming from the North Sea, or knocking it out from the glacier line, can this be realistic? Not to mention that it will not be shown that you will be allowed to mine rocks from under the glacier, and it is impractical to let you go to the North Sea.

Besides, even if you pick up a stone over there, it's not mined under the glacier, can you bring it over? That doesn't sound like a miracle.

"You don't believe it?" Seeing that my face was full of doubts, Old Man Tian asked, and he didn't blame me, but laughed, as if for him, he had expected that I would not be idle, and his face was full of indifference.

"Regardless of whether you believe it or not, I'll tell you the story of it, so that you can have some understanding of that demon way, if you don't believe it, then think of it as a story!" Old man Tian walked to the top of the stone stairs and sat down, as if he was nostalgic for remembering something, his face was full of melancholy, as if he had forgotten the cold feeling that the stone stairs gave him.

Perhaps, he was just a ghost, and he couldn't feel the coldness of the stone staircase at all.

This southern ladder was built 800 years ago, when there was a Taoist priest who came from the west and walked to this Linkong Mountain, he found that this was a good place to practice, so he settled here, and at the beginning he still lived under this Linkong Mountain, looking up at the top of the mountain every day, and practicing below.

But as the days got old, the Taoist priest felt that practicing at the foot of this mountain could not satisfy his desires at all, so he prepared to practice on the top of this mountain.

But he also understands that on the top of this mountain, there are neither houses nor roads, and with his own strength, let alone building a house on the top of the mountain for his own cultivation, he is afraid that it will be difficult to go up with a piece of wood.

After some hard thinking, this Taoist priest had an idea.

The Taoist priest is a cultivator, knows a lot of time and strange things, and has a great ability, and he came to this Linkong Mountain to practice, after a long time, the seven towns and eight miles have spread, and the Taoist priest's ability is spread to the gods, but they don't know that this is actually a Taoist strategy, what ability is higher than the sky, these are all deliberately released by him, in order to lead these people to come to watch, so as to use it.

Those people didn't have the slightest amount of knowledge, but this was still in ancient times, and they were even more superstitious, and it happened that the Taoist priest arrived.

At the beginning, the Taoist priests were kind to treat, not to mention, it was really a good treatment, not to mention that it was really a good treatment, and it didn't take long for the reputation of the Taoist priest to be even louder, and soon spread all over the country, and the people who came here were countless, everyone had them, and there were strange diseases.

Seeing that the time was ripe, on this day, the Taoist priest began to make requests.

Originally, there were many people who came to see the doctor, and there were many rich people, in their opinion, the Taoist priest's request was nothing more than money, so they naturally accepted it gladly, and immediately let the Taoist priest have any difficulties to say it, and they agreed one by one.
