A simple life starts with two steamed buns, two buns, an egg, and a big bowl of porridge. After the unanimous decision of Xia Xiao and Ah Candle, add an egg and a meat bun to breakfast in the future, because an egg is always unsatisfied. The more life is like this, the more interesting it is, because only by taking every small point as a source of happiness can we better endure and achieve great things.

If you can't bear the loneliness, you won't be able to enjoy the prosperity in the future. Xia Xiao and Ah Candle didn't know what would happen in the future, but at least they endured it. After a few more days of practice, Xia Xiao and Ah Candle couldn't bear the truth, and it happened that the process of cultivation was relatively fast, so they decided to go up the mountain.

The senior sister said that if you want to go to the top of the mountain, you can't just walk, so their chances of success are not high. But it doesn't matter, everything has a first step. Only when the first step is taken, the possibilities are endless.

"Are you ready?"

Xia Xiao and Ah Candle looked at each other, saw the persistence in each other's eyes, and were about to step on the stone bricks, but they were startled by the movement on the side. It's a sacred moment like this, and it's not a good thing to be disturbed by other voices. But a white light like a hedgehog quickly rolled down from the direction of the top of the mountain, rumbling through the pine forest and lying not far from them.

This kind of scene can still be seen in the academy, Xia Xiao and Ah Candle are both curious, and run over to help the injured man. But the latter was covered with thorns, Xia Xiao and Ah Candle couldn't do it, and their vitality was like a piece of brittle paper underneath, easily pierced. It wasn't until the white steel thorns softened and turned into a white hair that could be dragged straight to the legs that Xia Xiao and Ah Candle stretched out their hands with kindness.

If it weren't for the Academy, they wouldn't be like this. There are a lot of bad people in the world, some are still young, some are old, and they specialize in blackmail, and when something happens, violence is relatively unreasonable, so you need to think twice about everything. But the academy is different, according to Xia Xiao's judgment, this old man should have failed to climb the mountain.

I heard that there are many people in the academy who are always attacking the top of the mountain, but the thirteen people closest to him have only decreased by one after so many years.

The sound of crying out in pain attracted Xia Xiao and Ah Candle, making them see the pale old face, which seemed to be seriously ill and incurable, and there was endless tiredness and panic, which made Ah Candle extremely surprised and asked:

"Are you alright?"

"It's okay! I'm tired of climbing, go back and rest for a few days, and come back later." ”

The old man got up and patted his clothes, shook off the dust and left, but he was sure that he would come again. He is a warrior who has been cursed by the top of the mountain, and he has to go up no matter what, whether it is three hundred years, five hundred years, or a thousand years. His persistence was not exposed anywhere in his body, and his pace was even the same as that of a little hooligan in the market, but Xia Xiao always felt that he had repeated this process at least a thousand times.

"Let's go. ”

Xia Xiao took Ah Candle out a few steps, but was stopped by the old man.

"Senior, what's the matter?"

Xia Xiao was humble and polite, and Ah Candle followed suit.

"You're Xia Xiao, right?"

Xia Xiao nodded in agreement and said exactly. As long as Xia Xiao's identity is confirmed, Ah Candle next to him is easy to guess. The old man really guessed, then raised his head, glanced at the top of the mountain, and said very mysteriously:

"Even if it's you, it's hard to get up. But try it, it's important to try, but stay safe and don't be pushy!"

"Thank you, seniors. ”

The old man who turned around was reckless and added another sentence.

"By the way, my name is Zhong Wanli, and I will remember my name. ”

"Remember, congratulations to the seniors. ”

In the blink of an eye, the white hedgehog-like old man had disappeared in place, as if far away from this world. Candle stood on tiptoe and looked in the direction of the town, but saw nothing.

"Is this old man also a big man?"

As he walked through the bushes and on the way to the top of the mountain, Ah Candle still asked his doubts. Sure enough, the people you see in the academy are not limited to their appearance, the more they can't be underestimated.

"Senior Zhong was one of the thirteen people closest to the top of the mountain, and he was very strong. ”

"How strong?"

"At the level of asking. ”

In fact, Ah Candle doesn't know where to ask Daoqiang, she doesn't have such an accurate concept, just like the three pots of food in her mouth, others who don't know how big the pot is don't know how much food there is. However, the question is above the young age, in the branches and fruits, in the curvature, above the sky, so it is strong. The pot is bigger than the cup, the bowl is bigger than the scoop than the pot, and it has the name of the pot, so there must be a lot of food that can be held.

Everything is probably like this, but soon, Xia Xiao and Ah Candle's attention is still on the road under their feet. They walked for a long time, and finally came to the edge of the pine forest. There are fewer trees here, and the needles on the side of the stone bricks have become sparse and no longer piled up, but there are more shrubs, but they are all bare and not pretty. But it doesn't matter, they're not here to enjoy the scenery.

"If there's something uncomfortable, just let me know. ”

Xia Xiao reminded, Ah Candle nodded again and again, she didn't dare to joke with her own life, such a strange place made her hair stand on end, and her eyes looking ahead were full of caution and fear.

The bushes are much smaller than the wide pine forests and are quickly traversed, but the brick-paved road is much steeper. Look straight ahead at it, as if it were looking straight into the sky, not at the top of the mountain.

That magical feeling and a faint fear of something far away made Ah Candle stop, but it was too early to stop.

Xia Xiaoru, who had been looking at the other side of the mountain road, had entered the sea of clouds, what kind of scene would it be? He was difficult to guess at present, but he said very firmly:

"Let's go some more distance!"

Whether it was for Ah Candle's life experience or for himself, Xia Xiao wanted to climb to the top of the mountain. What you see from the top of the hill is definitely wider than it is now. Therefore, he took the most important step of leaving the cover of the bush and entering the alpine meadow zone. Ah Candle followed, and the two of them walked forward together.

Xia Xiao had a fluke and felt that he shouldn't think too much, but after coming here, he and Ah Candle's road is still together, and there must be something else, but it is difficult to know what it is.

The meadows in the high mountains were like deserts of the wilderness, and they were deserted, and there was no life at all, and even the bushes, which were a lot worse than the pine forests, were better than them. But in such a meadow, Xia Xiao and Ah Candle walked very vigorously, and seemed to be full of motivation. The previous feeling of wanting to retreat was defeated by the fighting spirit, and it was not difficult for Xia Xiao to do this, but it was too unusual for Ah Candle to do this.

Xia Xiao has his own way, he has been chatting with Ah Candle to attract her attention. When he stopped and took a short break, Ah Candle turned around, proud that he had walked so far, and even wanted to continue walking.

For Xia Xiao, Ah Candle's emotions are naturally a good thing. With a guaranteed safety, they continued upward. Because the steepness of the road gradually became thirty degrees, he did not dare to make Ah Candle look backwards, only forward. When you reach a certain height, you will know that there is no way back except forward, and even if you return to the mountainside for a short time, you are only preparing for the next climb.

The sudden feeling made Xia Xiao feel that he had entered the Dao, but this meadow was too long, and he gradually gave birth to some hallucinations, as if he had already walked for a lifetime, and he didn't know how long he would have to go. That kind of fatigue comes from all directions, fills it in an instant, and makes it unbearable to reincarnate. But the thrust behind him made him turn around, and what he saw was Ah Candle's pretty little face.
