There are no roads in the mountains, so it is all on foot.

Walking on mountain roads at night is an extremely dangerous thing after all, and Zhao Da agrees to help, but proposes to take two companions with him to ensure safety.

In this regard, Zhou Tong did not allow it.

Originally, Zhou Tong planned to let the old man of the military doctor wait in the same place, but he insisted on going with him, so he had to bring it with him.

Zhao Da really found two companions who lived in the mountains, who were also hunters, with a full set of hunting outfits, and also led three big yellow dogs to help.

The group deposited all the horses and armor in the Zhao family, and tied pine oil torches, cut down trees, and walked, which can be regarded as really going deep into the mountains.

In the dense forest, there is no road, no stars and moons, and no direction, as soon as Zhou Tong and the others enter it, the whole thing is lost.

Fortunately, there were three hunters to lead the way, although it was time-consuming and laborious to climb over the rugged mountains and rocks, there was no danger, so that they would not accidentally fall off the cliff, or be suddenly locked by the mountain leopard, as for where there were obstacles that could not be approached, where the water could not be drunk, where the mountain spring could be drunk, etc., these hunters were all clear.

As the night passed, the sky cleared, and suddenly I heard the rumbling sound of water in front of me, as if thousands of troops and horses were galloping in the forest.

"Xiao Zhongnan has arrived, and in one more hour, you can go to the Taoist temple." Zhao Daxi said.

Zhou Tong and the others carried Yan Yun down the hillside, and their eyes suddenly opened up, but they were under a waterfall.

About thirty zhang to the left, a large fracture appeared in the mountain made of solid rock, and the stream rushed down into a deep pool below.

This rumbling sound is from the waterfall falling into the river.

On the cliff wall near the water, dozens of zhang high above the ground, there are actually three strong characters of "Xiao Zhongnan" carved with iron and silver hooks, which is obviously not something ordinary people can do.

Looking at the opposite side of the stream and connected with the cliff, there is a majestic and towering mountain, apes and cranes crying, clouds steaming and blue, as far as the eye can see, and I don't know the depths.

The stream is not deep, clear as silver, the water and grass ripple, and the fish fly on the shallow bottom.

Large chunks of exposed rock jutt out of the water, allowing you to jump over them without wading through the water.

"Several, put away all your swords, wash up here, drink some water, and rest a little before we go up the mountain." After Zhao Da finished speaking, he evened out some dried meat from the cloth bag he was carrying to satisfy everyone's hunger.

On the way this night, although it was a cold day, several people were still sweating, and it was naturally much more comfortable to wash it.

However, in the dense forest, not even the nearby households could be seen, and it was too big to rush the sword to the sheath, so Zhou Tong and the others did not do it.

"A few brothers can rest assured, after crossing this stream, there will be no beasts in front of you, and the sword is a murder weapon, or it is better to return to the sheath." Zhao Da explained, "All the beasts only drink water in this stream, but they have never dared to wade through it. ”

Two of his fellow hunters chimed in, wrapping the tip of the fork in a bag.

Zhou Tong said with a smile: "The one who lives in the Taoist temple is afraid that it is an immortal?" ”

Zhao Daze said with a serious face: "It's true that I am a god, anyway, I have never seen who treated him when I came here to seek medical treatment, but after I got better, I appeared near my door, and I don't know who sent him." ”

"And that kind of thing?" Zhou Tong and others were amazed.

Zhao Da asked rhetorically: "Brother Tai doesn't believe it?" ”

Several of the hunters laughed along, as if this were a common thing.

Also, no matter how unreasonable things are, once you see too much, you will not be surprised.

Zhou Tong and the others saw that Zhao Da and Orion were so determined, so they had to do as they said, but they inevitably became curious, wondering if there were really immortals in this world?

The group took a break and walked on a stretcher to the "small end south" mountain road.

It is said to be a road, but it is actually a gully when the mountain stream is rising, and it is full of smooth and round boulders.

Further up, the grass is continuous, the ancient trees are towering, and although it is a mountain without a road, it seems that someone has deliberately cleaned it, and there are almost no shrubs and other miscellaneous trees.

The forest is broken and light, deer, rabbits, chickadees, etc. are foraging in the grass, and when they see someone coming, they do not hide, and they look at ease.

This scene made Zhou Tong and the others stunned and surprised.

After climbing like this for half an hour, several flat boulders with a width of several zhang appeared in front of me, layer by layer, with a total of nine steps, like steps.

In particular, the last step is the widest, and there is a bare boulder in the middle.

Behind the stairs was a mountain gate, with a high-pitched eaves made of bark, covered with moss, without any plaques. The wall is covered with stone, the appearance is ordinary, the door is closed, and I saw the word "Tao" written on the wall.

On both sides of this mountain gate is a cliff, the wind gusts, there is a whistling sound, accompanied by the rumbling sound of water and the smell of water, just like a fairyland.

As for what it looks like behind the mountain gate, because it is covered by moisture, there is nothing to see.

Zhou Tong pondered, this mountain gate should be above the waterfall he saw before, and the specific direction is unknown.

When the group arrived here, they were tired and strange, and they smelled some incense from behind the mountain gate at the end of their noses, and they were immediately refreshed, and their fatigue was swept away.

Zhao Da and his two companions arrived here, smiled happily, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times to the mountain gate.

Zhou Tong and others served in Dayu, no matter how they said it, they could be regarded as people with status, and it was inexplicable that they couldn't obey it, so they stood still.

"A few brothers, worship, if you anger the gods, this night's work will be in vain." Zhao Da said urgently.

The old man of the military doctor and Zhou Tong and the others glanced at each other, knelt down first, and sang, why rush to the fairyland and look at the sea and clouds.

Zhou Tong and the others were helpless, so they deliberately stood behind the stretcher where Yan Yun was placed and knelt down. Although Yan Yun is young, he is the three generals of Longtou Pass, and it is logical that they worship their superiors as subordinates. Of course, they are facing the direction of the mountain gate, and it seems reasonable to say that they are worshipping the mountain.

Zhao Da saw that Zhou Tong and his entourage didn't seem to be in awe, so he only said something to the military doctor.

"Uncle, hurry up and explain your intentions, and ask the gods to treat you!" Zhao Da reminded.

"The immortals, two days ago, the third young master of my family was accidentally injured by a bear while hunting, and he used many medicines, but there was no cure, and he asked the immortals to come to the rescue, and the old man was grateful...... "After the old man finished speaking, he kowtowed a few more heads.

After waiting for about a cup of tea, there was no movement behind the mountain gate.

Zhao Da motioned to the military doctor to continue pleading, and the military doctor understood, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw something flying out of the mist of the mountain gate and landing on the standing boulder.

Everyone looked at it, and it was a black wooden plaque, perpendicular to the boulder, but it did not fall.

Black, that means that the "immortals" in the Taoist temple are unwilling to treat Yan Yun, of course, it may also be that Yan Yun's vital signs have been lost, and there is no meaning to treat him.

"Alas......" Zhao Dagu was warm, and when he saw the black brand, he shook his head and sighed.
