Volume 1 Yu Yue Continuation Chapter 013 On the Mountaintop

This inconspicuous stream, rushing and turbulent, the drop is very large, although it is only more than three meters wide, but it is impossible for ordinary people to cross the past, and there is a certain drop between the water surface and the shore, all of which are messy gravel, and turn sharply down the mountain.

Sister Buddha went downstream to explore the way, trying to find a narrower place to go over, but the downstream is one after another small waterfalls, the river is full of huge whirlpools, unable to pass, extremely twists and turns.

"Or is it still the old way, cut a few bamboos and tie them together to build them as a bridge?" I came up with a solution, which is very common in mountain villages, where mountain people usually use bamboo to build bridges over streams, which is low-cost, and there is no need to consider safety on some very shallow streams.

"That's it." Ji Weiqi nodded.

"Hey, it seems that we really have to thank these bamboos this time, which can be regarded as helping us a lot."

It didn't take long for a single-plank bridge to be erected, and the whole team was able to cross the river smoothly. However, the next road is even more difficult, the mountains in front of them are extremely steep, surrounded by mountains, like a lone peak reaching into the sky. The top of the mountain is full of clouds and mist, and the bottom of the mountain is full of all kinds of trees and vines, not only is there no way to go, but every step is laborious and difficult.

"Sister Qi, where is this dragon burial pit?" I looked at the mountain in front of me and said worriedly.

"Right on top of that mountain." Ji Weiqi looked at the top of the mountain hidden in the clouds, and her gaze was very long.

"You said the dragon burial pit is at the top of the mountain?" My heart is both surprised and helpless, "since ancient times Huashan road, although this mountain is not more majestic than Huashan, but the steepness is estimated not to be under it, Huashan has a way to go, this is nowhere to climb." ”

"Young Master Cousin, there is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to climb, although this mountain is steep, but the road is out by itself, nothing can stop the footsteps of those who have aspirations." Xu Qian encouraged on the side.

After listening to this, I was also ashamed of my retreat just now, and immediately said: "That's right, as the saying goes, where there is a will, there is a way, this small mountain can't resist us, let's set off now, the goal - the top of the mountain!" ”

In the cold winter season, there is heavy snowfall, and it is very dangerous to go up such a steep mountain at this time, and if you don't put your mind down, you will fall down the mountain. The jungle under the cliff is even more difficult to walk, and there is no road, and it is full of gravel that it is almost impossible to stand on, and it is really unbearable.

A few of us climbed up step by step in the wind and snow, and sometimes the gravel diaphragm was really uncomfortable, but there was no choice but to endure it. The slope of this place is more than 60 degrees, and there is a lot of snow and fallen leaves on the ground, and the snow falls on it very softly, sometimes just one step at a time. After thousands of years of accumulation and decay, fallen leaves contain rancid toxic gases, and if the temperature rises, they will become miasma. However, in places where the sun does not shine, or where the ground is covered with fresh fallen leaves on the high mountains, if people or animals accidentally step on them, these soft places will sink into them, and they will be called "quicksand in the forest", and they will die even if they are not killed by poisonous gas.

"Be careful." She turned around to remind me and said, "You'd better hold your breath and go, don't get caught up in the rancid gas." ”

Actually, I had already twisted my nose and crawled, and the whole person was almost crawling up close to the ground, and my nose was very close to the ground, and the smell was really pungent. At this time, Chen Ziyue behind me suddenly slipped and almost sprained her foot, but fortunately, Xu Qian, who was behind, hurriedly helped her and said, "Climb slowly." ”

After about two or three hours of climbing, we reached the halfway point of the mountain, which was not the steepest part, and further up the road was the more sparse vegetation, and by that time there was no place to help. Seeing that the sun had set behind the mountain, the earth was gradually engulfed in darkness, and the primeval forest was covered with a veil of darkness.

"Let's all stop, it seems that it is impossible to find the top of the mountain before dark, so we can only spend the night in a nearby care place." Ji Weiqi made a movement to stop advancing, turned around and said, "Everyone rest in place, Sister Buddha and I will find a relatively gentle place and prepare to camp." ”

The night in the forest is always full of dangers, this place does not belong to us, and the big snow peak mountain, if you want to camp in such conditions, it is also a big test. In the end, Ji Weiqi and the others found a relatively flat place under the two big trees. Enough for the group to sit down, and then I hurriedly took out the fuel and made a fire, surrounded by small stones. Because the air is too humid, it is necessary to take a little fire to dry the bluestone, dry the moss and moisture in the cracks of the stone, and then spread the sleeping bag, so as not to sleep with moisture into the bones and fall on the root of the disease.

"I really didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to participate in such a meaningful camping activity in my life." I took out a pack of ham sausages, handed it to Chen Ziyue, and said, "Come, you're hungry, eat quickly." ”

"I don't want it, you boil some hot water, I'm almost freezing to death." Chen Ziyue squeezed her eyebrows at me and said.

I leaned into her ear and said, "Mother, why do you say you are doing this, and what are you guilty of bringing your child to suffer?" ”

After hearing this, Chen Ziyue twisted my arm vigorously and said, "I just teach children to be as brave as her mother, don't follow his father's example, hum!" ”

"Hey, you're so angry." I looked helpless.

After eating, take turns to watch the night, after all, this primeval forest is full of dangers, who knows what poisonous insects and beasts will run out at night. Lin Kun was on the first shift, sitting not far from the fire, wiping the flying knife to pass the sleepiness, and at the same time alerting the dark jungle around him.

But at this time, I suddenly saw a fire flashing in the forest not far away, although it was extinguished in a flash, but I was sure that I didn't look away, in this deep mountain and old forest, if there was anyone else, it must be Ye Heping, or someone who came to hunt him down.

I immediately woke up Cheng Yiyun and Sister Buddha on the side, and said softly: "There is movement, you come with me." ”

When they arrived at the place where the firelight appeared, they didn't find anything, and at this moment, Sister Buddha suddenly asked, "Lin Kun, do you smell anything?" ”

I sniffed it, but it was still the same sour smell, and said, "Isn't this the smell on the ground, it's okay, it can't kill people." ”

"No, it's an aroma, very faint and light."

When I heard it, I thought it was Sister Buddha hallucinating, but after thinking about it carefully, Sister Buddha's nose is smarter than that of a police dog, and it is my fault if I am wrong, and Cheng Yiyun on the side is not sensitive to smell, and I will definitely not notice it, so I sniffed it carefully, and sure enough, I found that there was a sweet aroma in the air.

"Strange, it really smells." At first, I thought it was the smell of wildflowers in the woods, but how could flowers bloom when it was cold?

Then, for some reason, I suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell. Immediately afterwards, Cheng Yiyun also stumbled a few steps, I hurriedly helped her, thinking that it was bad, maybe it was poisoned, so I quickly slapped myself a few times, and the pain spread from my face.

"Yiyun, Yiyun, are you okay?" I panicked.

At this time, Sister Buddha slapped her face twice, Cheng Yiyun was finally woken up, slowly came back to her senses, and asked, "What's wrong with me?" ”

"Damn, this smell is poisonous! Let's go! ”

"Stop talking, cover your mouth!"

Sister Buddha handed over a handkerchief and said, "It must be the fragrance of some flower, the flowers with a different fragrance are generally colorful, and it is not difficult to find them in a white background." ”

As I spoke, I also tore off a corner of my clothes, covered Cheng Yiyun's mouth and nose, and said, "What is it, an accident or a trick?" ”

The forest was silent, there was not a hint of wind, all the animals and plants seemed to be asleep, and only occasionally a few strange bird calls came from a distance. The chaotic branches, under the foggy white curtain, stretched out in a daze, dull, monotonous like a simple oil painting.

"Look over there." Sister Buddha pointed with her hand, and a fresh flower appeared on the snow.

The flower plant is not very tall, similar to the potted plant grown at home, but this flower is very special, and it seems to be the only one in the world. For the sake of life safety, we did not get close to the past, but since it is a natural plant, we can rule out the possibility that someone deliberately designed it to frame us.

After a while, the flower was blown by the wind, and suddenly a fluorescent pollen floated out and fell into the snowdrift in the distance. It was then that I realized that the light I had just seen was a grain of pollen, a foreign flower that bloomed on a snowy day and emitted a certain aura that could anesthetize people.

"Nature is really magical, the most beautiful of all, but also the most poisonous flower." I sighed, "It's not good to stay here for a long time, let's leave quickly." ”

I was just about to leave, but I found that Cheng Yiyun and Sister Buddha involuntarily stopped at this time, and asked each other invariably, "Hey, do you think there is anything wrong here?" ”

Sister Buddha nodded angrily, and Cheng Yiyun also had the same expression, but these two people saw that there was something wrong with this place at the same time, which was a noteworthy thing in itself.

"What's wrong?" My heart hung again.

"I don't know, it's just a feeling."

"Has anyone been here?" I asked.

"I can't tell." Cheng Yiyun shook her head.

Sister Buddha looked into the depths of the jungle trail behind the poisonous flower, although the ground was covered with snow, and there was no path at all, but this glance could be seen very deeply, like a guide in the dark.

At this moment, there was a "click" sound in front, and as soon as the sound came out, all the birds nearby fluttered their wings and flew away, and the sound echoed in the valley, and the atmosphere was indescribably weird and scary.
