Chapter 3 A Thousand Peaks

Li Xiao couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard the silent old man suddenly shout, "The dragon lizard has appeared", he didn't understand what was going on, and was about to ask, when he felt that the stone room suddenly darkened.

He wanted to look up at the night pearl on the top of the stone room, but he saw a huge snake head, the snake head hung down to the ground, blocking part of the light on the roof, although Li Xiao couldn't see the whole picture of the dragon lizard, but the dragon lizard was too close to him, the big red eyes and the snake-like forked tongue were in front of him, although he couldn't see clearly, but it was very bluffing.

The dragon lizard and the lean old man had a heart, and it deliberately opened its huge mouth that could easily swallow Li Xiao, and jumped on top of Li Xiao's head. Li Xiao stared directly at the white sharp fangs in the dragon lizard's mouth, and was so frightened that he almost collapsed.

When the thin old man saw Li Xiao's expression, he couldn't help but laugh a few times and said, "The dragon lizard lies down." The dragon lizard closed its mouth, shook its head, and leaned down.

Li Xiao saw the dragon lizard on the ground spitting out the letter in his mouth, thinking it was a giant python, and then looked at the dragon lizard's whole body, and found that the dragon lizard's head and front claws were in the stone chamber, and the rest of the body was outside the stone chamber, and it was very elongated. Li Xiao was surprised and puzzled, "What the hell is this? Dragon, Lizard, None of them." Is this a dinosaur? This old man seems to call it a dragon lizard. ”

Thinking about it, Li Xiao's nervous mood finally calmed down. He grinned and said, "Grandpa, this is your pet? I've never seen it in "Animal World" and "Man and Nature." ”

In the mountains, the lean old man had been cultivating alone for a long time, far away from the crowd, and when he saw Li Xiao today, he was just relieved of his boredom, he looked at Li Xiao in surprise, and said in his heart: This kid is so bold, and he can laugh again so soon? He said: "In our world, there are many divine beasts, demon beasts, heavenly and earthly treasures, and divine plants and wood essences that you have never seen. ”

"Really?"

"Of course. ”

"Are there many beautiful women?"

"......" poof.

The thin old man was originally a big official of the country, and he was a serious person in temperament from the inside to the outside, he looked at Li Xiao with deep eyes, and when he saw Li Xiao's still hippie smile, he couldn't help but be angry. He formed a claw shape with his right hand, grabbed the sword on the cave wall out of thin air, and hung it on his waist, then he grabbed Li Xiao's arm, stepped on the dragon lizard, and put the surprised Li Xiao in front of him and fixed it, then ordered the dragon lizard: "Go down the mountain." ”

With Li Xiao's scream, the dragon lizard crawled out of the cave. After the old man closed the door of the cave in the air, the dragon lizard quickly climbed down the cliff of ten thousand thousands, and then climbed straight up along the cliff on the other side, and climbed up to a peak as high as ten thousand thousand.

Occasionally, rocks that have been knocked down by dragon lizards fall along the cliffs with a "booming" sound. The birds and beasts in the mountains roared, and the noise came and went, one after another, which added to Li Xiao's sense of fear.

The mountains in this area are a small part of the "Thousand Peaks and Ten Thousand Mountains". "Thousand Peaks and Ten Thousand Thousand Mountains" stretches for more than 9,000 miles from the westernmost point of the territory of the Great Xuan Kingdom to the east, and the whole mountain range is divided into many sections, and each section has many branches. There are many high and dangerous passes on the "Thousand Peaks and Ten Thousand Thousand Mountains". The westernmost is the "Hongshan Pass" where "one person guards the pass, and a thousand people dare to cross it", and after 3,000 miles to the east, there is the "Format Pass" built in the valley "a line of sky" and the two sides of the city wall are close to the cliffs.

The mountain range where the "format pass" is located is the starting point of the Mocheng mountain range to the east, the Mocheng mountain range stretches more than 1,000 miles from east to west, and the width of the north and south reaches two or three hundred li, it is the dividing line between the middle and southern regions of the Great Xuan Kingdom, there are five major Xiongguan on the dividing line, and the west is the "three passes of Mocheng", which are the "Mo switch" of "one husband when the pass, ten thousand people do not open", "one husband when the pass, ten thousand people do not destroy" of the "Mo Destruction Pass" and "one person guards the pass, ten thousand people do not destroy" of the "Mo Xiang Pass".

In the middle of the Mocheng mountain range is the "Monan Pass" that is "dangerous and high, difficult to go to the blue sky", the southeast of Monan Pass is a basin surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is a two-character city in the north of the basin - Shuangyang City.

The Mocheng Mountains extend a lot of branches, among which the end of the branch veins extending to the east and south has the first Xiongguan of the Seven Regions of the Great Xuanguo - "Nanmen Pass", the north side of the South Gate Pass is a low hill, hills and plains, and there is a two-character city - Yuanyang City at the junction of the plain and the hills.

To the east of the South Gate Pass is the starting point of another mountain range. After this branch extends to the south-east for six or seven hundred miles, the terrain gradually lowers and the slope gradually lowers and flattens, and there is also a big city and a one-word city - Bacheng in the gentle ground.

The dragon lizard carried the lean old man and Li Xiao, climbed up and down the inaccessible mountains, passing one cliff after another. Li Xiao saw such a huge dragon lizard for the first time today, one moment fell from a cliff of thousands of kilometers like a free fall, and then rose thousands of kilometers like a vertical elevator, the scene in front of him turned upside down, left and right, made Li Xiao panic and shortness of breath, soon, he felt that he couldn't breathe, he closed his eyes tightly, and the uncomfortable feeling of dizziness and nausea was still so strong. The wind whistling in his ears reminded him that the dragon lizard was nimbly climbing the cliff.

The dragon lizard crawled north for another hour, climbing a steep cliff to the top of a mountain. The lean old man stood on the last cliff, and saw the vegetation of the hills and hills in the distance gradually turning from green to dry yellow from south to north. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "Last year, there was a great drought in the northern region, and this year there was a big drought in the central region. Some of the palace scholars of the Great Xuanguo are busy. ”

"The road ahead is long, and its repair is long." Far to the northeast of the cliff are low hills and hills, and at the end of the hills and hills there is a mountain peak seven or eight hundred meters high, which is shaped like a "truncated cone", and the mountain name is "Yuantai Mountain".

Where there are mountains, there is generally water, and there is a river at the northern foot of Yuantai Mountain, and the river is almost dry and has bottomed out.

Many of the woods on the north bank of the river have dried up, and there is smoke rising from the woods, and it is expected that there must be a village in the place where the smoke is cooked.

There are two official roads that cross four or five miles to the northeast of the cooking smoke, forming a larger bazaar, and the name of the bazaar is called: Jinniu Town Market. Sixty miles north of the bazaar, there is a large city, which is Yuanyang City, and the east and north sides of Yuanyang City are vast plains mixed with yellow and green. Thirty miles to the west of Yuanyang City is one of the remaining veins of the eastern edge of the "Thousand Peaks and Ten Thousand Thousand Mountains" - Yuanyang Mountain Range, there are many square caves on the Yuanyang Mountain Range, in addition to many square caves, the highest peak also has a large hall group of five gates and seven courtyards, these halls are the destination of the dragon lizard master's trip - the main hall of the Daozong of Yuanyang Mountain in the Middle Domain.

The Taoist organization of the Great Xuanguo was closely connected to the official state, and was both a cultural and educational institution and a place of cultivation, which was different from Taoism.

Nearby, under the steep cliffs, at the junction of high mountains, hills, and hills, there are several relatively low peaks. The lower peaks form a valley. There are many large trees in the valley that are more than one meter in diameter and thirty or forty meters high, and these large trees see the sun for a short time of day, so they all grow straight and tall.

There are two large trees near the exit of the valley, the upper part of which is sparsely branched, and the lower part is full of foliage. One of the big trees has a tall treehouse built against the trunk between the leafy branches, and the other tree has no treehouse, but there is a "magpie nest" with a diameter of more than three meters at the fork of the largest branch.

The decoration in the "Magpie's Nest" is like a girl's boudoir, clean and tidy, and there is a faint fragrance. The wooden dresser was filled with all kinds of precious rouge gouache, a birdcage hung in front of the pink mosquito net, and two small cyan birds the size of a sparrow were in the birdcage, and a man and woman were eye-to-eye and nose-to-nose on the soft bed.
