Four Spirit Scroll Chapter 172 Empty Xia Mountain
The area of Yuzhou is second only to Pingzhou and Huangzhou in the entire eleven states of Longyuan. The topography of this place is dominated by endless hills, bordering the Pingzhou Plain in the east, the Gobi in Lizhou in the west, and the Muzhou jungle in the south, which is the intersection of various topography and landforms.
The desolate, sand-covered picture slowly transitioned to green and hills, and by this time, Xiao Qi had completely lost sight of the yellow sand.
It is almost late autumn, but the mountains of Yuzhou have not been blown into a lifeless yellow-green by the autumn wind, except for some trees that have begun to shed their leaves, there is still a verdant long train from south to north, as if there is no end in sight.
In front of me, there was a mountain peak, rising from between the low hills on both sides, obviously much higher, and there were even clouds and mist around the mountainside. Such a tall mountain peak is rare in Yuzhou. In fact, this is already the southern border of Yuzhou, and over this mountain, it is the western part of Muzhou. There are also vast mountains, stretching all the way to the southern part of Xinjiang.
Lu Xuanxuan made it clear that he would go to this mountain. Xiao Qi couldn't help but ask, "Where is this going?"
"Empty Xia Mountain. Lu Xuanxuan tore the roast chicken in his hand in half, stuffed the whole chicken leg into his mouth, and then spit out the bare bones.
In the past few days of walking with Xiao Qi, he has not caused Xiao Qi to drool as much as he does now. Roast chickens and goose, preserved vegetables and fruits, and spirits, he would get out of the car to buy them everywhere he passed, and then take them with him to continue his journey.
Helplessly, Xiao Qi can't eat anything except water and gruel now, smelling the fragrance and wine that permeate the carriage all day long, except for dry drooling, he can't even stare at Lu Xuanxuan.
Lu Xuanxuan introduced to himself: "Kongxia Mountain, backed by the mountains of Muzhou, although it is not as high as those mountains in Muzhou and Huangzhou, it is already the highest place in Yuzhou. ”
"This is your division? People like you, the division won't be full of drunkards and gamblers, right?" Xiao Qi seemed to distract himself, ignoring his rumbling stomach.
"No, no, Xia Yin is a well-behaved sect of internal strength. Lu Xuanxuan's temper seems to be quite good, and he doesn't care how Xiao Qi collides with him, "But those old guys, I haven't seen them for many years, maybe some people are not as pedantic and boring as before?"
"Xia Yin?" Xiao Qi snorted, "The name is pretentious, but I don't see that you still have the spirit of a chivalrous man." ”
Lu Xuanxuan seemed to hear something funny, shook his head and smiled: "Xiaguang's Xia is not a chivalrous man." But when those old guys came up with this name, they might have had this in mind. Those guys...... You'll know when you see them, they're all pretentious guys. ”
Xiao Qi was silent, listening to Lu Xuanxuan's tone, he didn't seem to think much of the so-called "old guys", and he wanted to entrust his life to these guys, he couldn't help but feel a little weak.
The carriage continued to march until it stopped at the foot of Kongxia Mountain, and Lu Xuanxuan carried Xiao Qi without saying a word, just these simple actions made Xiao Qi dizzy. These days, his internal injuries have not improved in the slightest.
"Dry ...... What are you doing?" Xiao Qiqiang asked with no discomfort.
"Since there is a hidden word in the name, it is naturally not easy to be seen. Lu Xuanxuan jumped out of the carriage lightly with Xiao Qi on his back, and Xiao Qi saw that the carriage had reached the end of the road, and there was actually a bare stone wall blocking the road in front of him, and the slope was very large, except for the narrow gap between the stone walls, there was almost no foothold. And the whole stone wall, with its back against the Kongxia Mountain, along the stone wall upward, is more and more magnificent mountain, the mountain rock opens in all directions, blocking the passage up the mountain.
Lu Xuanxuan carried Xiao Qi on his back, jumped up lightly like an ape, his toes stepped lightly between the cracks in the stones, and his body quickly bounced upwards several feet away.
Xiao Qi had never seen anyone able to climb up so lightly, even Yan Chen was dwarfed in front of Lu Xuanxuan. Facing the almost vertical mountain, Lu Xuanxuan either grabbed the protruding mountain rock with his hands or stepped between the cracks in the rocks with his feet, and soon left the ground far behind.
And Xiao Qi, who was on his back along the way, didn't feel much ups and downs, and didn't feel the pain of shaking out all his internal organs. This place is really matched with the word "hidden" in the name of the mountain, normal people can't cross this road blocked by mountain rocks and cliffs no matter what, Xiao Qi even feels that even Yan Chen may not be able to do it. He began to become more and more curious about the so-called "Xia Yin",
I don't know how long Lu Xuanxuan climbed, but the clouds began to shroud in front of him, and Xiao Qi couldn't tell for a while whether it was the fog in the mountains or the sea of clouds he saw because he climbed too high.
Lu Xuanxuan finally stopped, and between the white mist, a winding path appeared under his feet. There is no need to climb on top of the cliff, Xiao Qi, who has always carried his heart, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before he could finish his breath, beyond the clouds, there seemed to be a glow rising. The mist, like an orange-yellow arrow of light piercing through the veil, fell towards Lu Xuanxuan, who had just set foot here.
Lu Xuan snorted, and didn't see him make any moves, the flame-like red burst out from under his feet and shot out in all directions, like a blood-red ball of light, as the ball of light spread, the mist shook away along with the light arrow.
Xiao Qi heard a soft "huh" from someone outside the fog.
"Who is it?" asked the man over there, cautiously.
Lu Xuanxuan swaggered inside: "Who is your master?"
The man hesitated for a moment before replying, "My master is the disciple of the current head of the sect, ranking third......"
"Who are you in charge now?" Lu Xuanxuan asked impatiently.
The man was stunned for a moment, and then said quite proudly: "Today's head is Changyun Zhenren, Luo Jiansheng!"
This time, it was Lu Xuan's turn to be stunned for a moment, and he muttered: "I didn't expect that the senior brother in charge chose this kid......"
He froze, his steps were faster, and an exclamation sounded in the mist: "Stop! Who are you?"
"Miscellaneous people, etc. Lu Xuan was windy step by step, and with his steps, the long-lasting mist separated along the direction he was moving as if avoiding him.
With a crackling sound, Xiao Qi saw orange or yellow light rising in all directions, but Lu Xuanxuan didn't squint, and suddenly stopped when he walked to a place. Then he jumped to his feet, leaving everyone behind.
Only Xiao Qi on his back saw it most really. He clearly saw the cliffs between the mountains approaching rapidly, as if he and Lu Xuanxuan were about to fall on these jagged mountain rocks in just a moment, crushed to pieces.
But soon, an iron chain as thick as an arm crossed Xiao Qi's eyes. Lu Xuanxuan suddenly landed on the iron chain, and the entire iron chain shook violently, and the two fell down quickly, until the entire iron chain was straightened by the weight of the two, Lu Xuanxuan stabilized his body, and the iron chain made a soft clicking sound.
Lu Xuan didn't look back, his feet were lightly on the chain, but he seemed to be holding on to the chain tightly, his body did not shift, and he walked quickly along the chain.
"Tell you boss, I'm back!" Lu Xuanxuan's figure gradually disappeared into the clouds, and only a few people on the cliff looked at each other.
"Who's back?"
......
Xiao Qi didn't dare to breathe on Lu Xuanxuan's back, and his eyes didn't dare to glance up at the abyss below. Lu Xuanxuan seemed to sense Xiao Qi's nervousness, and occasionally deliberately shivered under his feet, swaying as if he was about to fall. Xiao Qi's face turned pale with fright, and he couldn't hold back his screams, but he couldn't move at all, and he couldn't even hold on to Lu Xuanxuan, and there was no way except to wait for Lu Xuanxuan with a gaze that seemed to be able to kill.
It's a pity that Lu Xuanxuan couldn't see Xiao Qi's gaze, and he smacked his tongue and sighed in front of him: "Alas, it's not interesting, you guy can't make a sound no matter how scared, it's so boring." ”
Xiao Qi no longer had the strength to speak, so he only rolled his eyes vigorously. That was the only way he could express his displeasure.
Lu Xuanqiu hadn't taken a few steps when suddenly a light passed by the chain, leaving a dull arc. Soon, there seemed to be an orange-yellow light bursting out in front of him, but only a little bit of light came through the white mist, as if there was a glow behind the clouds not far ahead. Xiao Qi understood that it was the way of the people he had met before to convey the message.
With this dim light, he also saw that there was an abyss inside Kongxia Mountain, surrounded by stone walls on all sides, and then up, the whole mountain peak was divided into two halves, one high and one short, the highest point of the south side was only to the mountainside height of the north peak, and the whole iron chain extended from the south upward, and the other section was connected to the north peak. Under the iron chains, there is no bottom in the mist.
Lu Xuanxuan carried Xiao Qi on his back and walked without a cup of tea, the outline of the peak on the opposite side gradually became clear, and the clouds and mist gradually dispersed, as if he was finally about to come to the end of this iron chain, but Xiao Qi didn't have time to be happy, because the first thing he saw was that the peak connected to the iron chain was already densely packed with people, and there was no place for Lu Xuanxuan and Xiao Qi to stay.
