Chapter 13: Up the Mountain

"Haotian, it's a shame that you have traveled north and south since you were a child, otherwise I would have to get lost."

"Hehe, since I was a child, as long as I can survive, I will naturally do anything. This is the most basic skill. ”

"Not in the future, you have a home, you can return to Yaoshan Town at any time."

"Yes, I not only have a home, but also a mother and a younger brother."

The two people who spoke were Li Haotian and Xu Fan, who went out from Yaoshan Town, and this time Li Haotian was not in a hurry, so the two of them walked all the way sightseeing.

Of course, in order to take care of Xu Fan, Li Haotian couldn't rush forward.

After a journey of more than 1,000 miles, the brothers walked for six days, but fortunately, there was no danger along the way, and they did not encounter robbers or robbers.

"Fly to the mountain to find the tower, and hear that the rooster cries and sees the sunrise. is not afraid of clouds to cover his eyes, only because he is at the top. ”

Looking at the tall and steep mountain peaks in front of him, Xu Fan couldn't help but chant a poem.

"No wonder it is called a thousand peaks, looking up can only see layers of clouds but not the top of the mountain. Compared with this, our medicine mountain is a big thing. ”

Xu Fan shook his head in admiration.

"I heard that the Floating Cloud Sword Sect is at the peak of the Thousand Peerless Peaks, although there are not many rules for entry, but I heard that this generation of Sect Master Su He has set the rules and walked to the True Martial Hall to be qualified to become a disciple of the Floating Cloud Sect."

Li Haotian is also fascinated, after all, what teenager doesn't look forward to the bloody rivers and lakes?

"Hey, Haotian, how do you know so much detail, even the name of the sect master and his old man is clear."

Xu Fan turned his head to look at Li Haotian and wondered.

Li Haotian scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I forgot to tell you, it was the charlatan I found for you at the beginning." ”

Xu Fan interrupted him and said unhappily: "Haotian, the physiognomy teacher is a master outside the world, don't slander him behind his back like this." ”

Li Haotian's expression was a little inexplicable, and he immediately thought of the scene where the physiognomy met him in Qingshan City.

At the beginning, he was in a hurry to go to the doctor, only to feel that there must be a master in the city who could treat Xu Fan, and he recklessly searched for it.

But he completely forgot that he was a beggar, and which medicine hall was willing to look at him, and basically ran into walls everywhere.

It wasn't until he felt disheartened that the physiognomy appeared in front of him and said, "Young man, are you looking for a famous doctor to save people and cure diseases?" ”

At that moment, that voice seemed like heaven to Li Haotian.

Finally, he raised his head and saw a physiognomy master who was wearing a simple compass in his left hand but exuding a Dao bone fairy wind.

Li Haotian hurriedly bowed down and begged, "Master, please save my brother." ”

Xiangshi smiled indifferently and said, "Life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky." Those who are about to die, why bother. ”

Hearing this, the rebellion and unyielding in Li Haotian's bones suddenly burst out, stood up straight, and scolded angrily: "You old bastard, I thought you were a man among the gods, but it turned out that you were just such a liar who pretended to be a god." If you don't save it, you won't save it, why do you curse with your mouth, and where has my brother offended you? ”

In the face of a young man's angry abuse, the phase master didn't care, but said lightly: "You know whether what I said is true or not. Those who have lost their hearts should have died, and one more day of life is also the gift of this heaven. ”

Li Haotian's eyes widened in surprise, and a turbulent wave surged in his heart: he knew, he actually knew!

He lowered his posture, folded his hands, and said, "Master, you are a master, please please be rude and offended just now, or please be merciful and save my brother's life." ”

The squares in the compass in the master's hand kept turning, and the heavenly and earthly branches were rearranged and combined, faintly revealing a purple aura. He was secretly frightened in his heart, but his face was silent.

He asked, "Young man, where did you come from, but you know where your parents are now?" ”

Since he has a request for help, Li Haotian doesn't care about people asking a few more irrelevant questions, and answers honestly: "Master, I was abandoned by my parents since I was a child, and I grew up under the care of a group of beggars, and I am an orphan. ”

The phase master sighed and said meaningfully: "Okay, I'll accompany you to the previous trip, and it can be regarded as a good fate with you in advance." ”

Hearing this, Li Haotian was overjoyed, and regardless of what the other party said, he hurriedly thanked him and said, "Boy, thank you for your wonderful hand to save my brother from fire and water." ”

The speed of changing faces can be seen.

turned around and wanted to leave, leading the way for the phase master in front, but heard the other party say: "It's a thousand miles east from here, the road is far away, don't rush first." ”

Seeing the changing expression on Li Haotian's face, the phase master smiled and said, "Before I go, I have a request that I want to ask the young man to agree." ”

In order to cure Xu Fan, Li Haotian nodded and agreed without thinking about it, and said, "Master just command!" ”

The young man agreed so neatly, which made the master a little surprised, but he didn't show it, he said: "Please answer the young man, and I will calculate a hexagram for you." ”

Li Haotian thought it was difficult, and slandered in his heart: You are a charlatan, isn't fortune telling your old business. Over the years, I have seen a lot of people traveling south and north, which is nothing more than saying that you have a bad omen when Yintang is black, and then cheat some silver to be happy.

However, looking at the other party, he can only respond to his request.

I saw the master take out a piece of paper and say to him: "My arithmetic is a word of gold, and you have to ask the person who asks the hexagram to ask for the hexagram." Young man, write a random word on it, and I'll take a look at it for you. ”

Li Haotian didn't think about it, and after lifting the pen, he wrote a word crookedly on the paper.

Every!

Although he is talented and intelligent, he can't read a single big character before, so it's good to make great progress in the rest of the month. Writing is something that takes time to precipitate, and so far Li Haotian's handwriting is not good-looking.

The master looked at the word and put the compass on it. He stretched out his index finger and put a little in the center of the compass, only to see that the compass began to rotate densely again.

Li Haotian only then discovered that the hands of the physiognomy master were as white as jade, and his ten fingers were slender, and I was afraid that ordinary women would be ashamed of themselves. But he has long hair, his Adam's apple is fluttering, and he is clearly a man.

Suppressing this messy thought, and waiting until all the heavenly and terrestrial branches on the compass stopped rotating, the phase master picked up the paper. A magical scene appeared, Li Haotian's eyes widened, and the mortal character he wrote was gone!

Eight characters appeared on it, and the font was also crooked, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't put pen to paper, he would even think that those eight words were written by himself.

The golden scales ascend to heaven and go to the mortal dragon!

The phase master looked solemn, stared at Li Haotian, and said: "Young man, your life is unspeakably expensive, and you are full of purple qi from the east. If you go to this mortal according to the annotation, you will definitely fly for nine days and reign over the world! ”

Li Haotian stared at his eyes, only feeling that when the phase master was saying this, his eyes were chaotic, there was the sun rising, the moon setting and the stars were all over the sky, and there were rivers surging and the earth was rising and falling.

took a closer look, but saw that his eyes were distinct.

Shaking his head, the straight was just an illusion.

Immediately, he smiled self-deprecatingly, and said in his heart: "Although this physiognomist has some skills, he can brag too much, and he doesn't even need to hit the draft." A beggar still reigns over the world, dreaming of eating shit. ”

Moreover, what made him disbelieve the words of the master the most was the second half of the annotation: Go to the mortal dragon.

There is only one person he has encountered in this life, and that is Xu Fan.

Looking at the meaning of the annotation on the surface, it is that Xu Fan will be a drag on himself, and only by abandoning Xu Fan can he become rich and rich, patrol the world, and overlook China.

Let's not talk about whether he has that much ability, just abandon Xu Fan, which can't be done even if he wants his life.

For this person who warmed himself, Li Haotian had already made up his mind: I would rather be burdened by the world than by Xu Fan.

So, when he carried the note in his arms, he went to Yaoshan Town with Xiangshi.

There are too many capable people on the rivers and lakes, don't look at the mysterious physiognomy, and don't care that there are a lot of compass patterns.

But what kind of person is Li Haotian, who has lived from being abducted and deceived from a small pit to a big one, but he is a thief in his heart. Maybe these are some strange and clever skills, if they coax Xu Fan and Li Dahu to them, it may be useful, but it will naturally not work well against Li Haotian, not to mention that the other party will blow the cowhide through the sky.

Li Haotian shook his head, threw those thoughts out of his mind, looked at the stone steps in front of him, and said to Xu Fan: "Don't talk about him, Xiao Fan, there are a total of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps in this step, and the first step is about half a step high, and it is not wrong to say that this thousand peaks are about a thousand feet high." You put the burden on my back, and I'll break through with you. ”

Xu Fan shook his head, his eyes drifted to the depths of the steps, smiled lightly, and said, "Since this is a test, it is a test. How can I let you share it for me, you can rest if you can't walk, this step is less than 10,000, I believe I can. ”

Seeing Xu Fan's confident expression and resolute side face, Li Haotian didn't say much.

From a distance, the Thousand Peerless Peaks were like a sharp sword plunging into the sky. There were two black dots on it that kept moving, stop-and-go.

With the gift of the man in black on his deathbed, Xu Fan's body is much lighter, but even with the Bodhicitta Sutra in his hand, the root of his illness is still there. Now that he was halfway up the mountain, Xu Fan was already pale, panting, and coughing constantly.

Seeing that his forehead was soaked with beads of sweat, his lips were white, and his legs were trembling slightly, Li Haotian proposed to carry him up, but Xu Fan vetoed.

If you say that you will go up by yourself, you must go up by yourself.

In the end, the tenacity in the bones has never changed or even decreased!

From dawn to dark, and from dark to dawn, and so on.

Twenty-four hours, just as the sun rose and shone through the clouds on the sky.

Xu Fan and Li Haotian finally stepped on the top of the mountain, looking at the white clouds in an instant, and the glow was everywhere.

The white clouds under their feet, sometimes there are cranes shuttling among the clouds, looking at the huge red in the distance, the two teenagers seem to be in a fairyland, like the immortals.

The top of the mountain was flat and cloudy, and a huge stone stood in the distance, surrounded by swords, some new as the moon, some rusty.

On the top of the stone, there are four big characters chiseled from the axe and stone: Floating Cloud Sword Sect!

The young men glanced at each other and smiled: hard work pays off, they finally came up.
