052, Wufu's intention (I)

At the foot of Wufu Hill, there are not only monks from all over Ba Yuan, warriors trying to climb the mountain, but also vendors from various villages. Outside the mountain gate to the north, the vendors have long set up tents and various simple buildings, and there is business wherever there are many people, and most of the people who come here are very rich.

Wufu Hill, one of the nine hills of Bayuan, and the foot of the legendary famous sacred mountain, have been lively like a huge bazaar these days, with all kinds of shouts coming around, and the tiger baby not only frowned secretly when she came here. It soon became clear that the goods in this makeshift bazaar were even more complete than those in the Red Brocade City, and that all the specialties in this area, including some rare treasures, were sold, but the prices were also more expensive.

But this kind of "pomp" is only limited to the first few days of the winter solstice, and after today, the monks on the Wufu Hill will clear the field and drive people out. In the mountains where thousands of people gather, there is a clear divide. There was a boulder next to the avenue, and a giant sword was inserted on the boulder, and it was hard to imagine what kind of giant could afford to hold such a sword.

It is estimated from the three-foot sword blade that exposes the boulder, its sword body should be more than one zhang long, it is said that the general of the martial arts department personally inserted it here, and it has been exposed to the wind and sun for nearly five hundred years, but there is no trace of rust. This giant sword inserted on the side of the road is where the mountain gate of Wufu Hill is located, no matter how many people come and how lively they are, no one crosses this invisible line.

Looking south from here, there is a majestic mountain peak rising from the ground and reaching into the sky, and in front of it there is a straight mountain path, like the marks of a giant blade that opens the sky. This mountain peak is the climbing peak, and that mountain path is the climbing path. If you look farther up, there are five peaks in this area, with the summit peaking in the northernmost part.

The mountain to the east is called Chopping Wood Peak, the mountain to the west is called Fire Peak, and the mountain to the south is called Mojian Peak. These are all very primitive and quaint names, and the masters on Wufu Hill call them so. But many years later, these three mountains were also called Kancai Peak, Chengqi Peak, and Sharpening Peak. However, the northernmost Dengjing Peak and the central main peak of Wufu Hill have never changed their names.

Between the four peaks of climbing the path, chopping wood, sharpening the sword, and making fire. There are rope bridges connected to the clouds, and only by using incredible magical powers can we erect rope bridges beyond the imagination of the world. Walking on those four rope bridges, the timid people will have weak legs and will not be able to take a step at all.

There is no bridge between these four peaks and the main peak in the very center, and each has a lone long rope. The texture of the long rope is not bamboo, non-wood, non-gold, non-iron, each is more than 300 zhang long, and it is about the thickness of the bowl mouth. The wind on the plateau was very strong, and the long rope on the clouds was always shaking and trembling, and it was said that if the miscellaneous disciples wanted to go to the main peak, they had to step on the long rope.

Those long cords tremble at the slightest glance at their hearts and livers, and they want to walk over from above. But over the years, there have always been countless people who want to set foot on the peak of the trail on the day of the winter solstice, within the specified time, either to prove their kung fu, or to look forward to becoming a miscellaneous disciple on the Wufu Hill, and one day to walk through one of the four long ropes.

Wufu Hill opens the mountain gate on the winter solstice every year, and all visitors can climb the mountain from the Ascending Trail, the time is from the beginning of the time to noon, and it is considered successful to embark on the Ascending Trail within one and a half hours.

Tiger baby, they came just in time. Not long after arriving at the bottom of the mountain, everyone began to climb the mountain, and they couldn't see how much there was, but they looked up. The one-foot-wide mountain road ahead was full of people. Some were in a great hurry, and when the hour came, they rushed over the boulder with the sword in it, while others seemed to be very leisurely, and when most of them were almost gone. This is the only way to embark on the path to heaven unhurriedly, such as Huwa and others.

Most of the people who were not in a hurry were monks from various sects in Bayuan, and they had no intention of becoming miscellaneous disciples of Wufuqiu. They also have their own magical powers, and it is not too difficult to climb this mountain peak in an hour and a half, just to open their eyes and join in the fun. But this is not entirely the case, there are several local men and women walking with Huwa and others, who were still selling special products in stalls just now, and now they have begun to climb the mountain as soon as they collect their things.

Listening to their conversations, it turns out that they climb once a year, and they don't necessarily have to reach the summit within the specified time, and they can also set up stalls on the way to sell drinking water and various foods. According to the rules of Wufu Hill, except for those who have successfully reached the summit and are willing to stay as a miscellaneous disciple, the mountain will not receive other climbers, regardless of accommodation or food, but it gives the locals the opportunity to do business.

Huwa secretly observed the vitality of these mountain people, and found that most of their bodies were very good, and other climbers tried to carry as few things as possible, and they followed behind to carry as many things as possible, and some even carried folded tents up the mountain, and it was obvious that many of them had practiced the spirit of opening the mountain.

The little sprinkler girl whispered: "As far as I can see, many of these traders who followed the group to climb the mountain are miscellaneous disciples on Wufu Hill, and there may also be true disciples of Wufu Hill. They take this opportunity every year to join in the fun and make a profit, otherwise how can this path to heaven be so easy to climb?"

Huwa didn't say that Miss Xiao Sa thought too much about it this time, and he thought so. The Wufu Hill in the southern wilderness of Bayuan in the distance seems to be unattainable, but when I came here, I found it full of vitality, I really don't know what kind of person its sect master Jian Sha predecessor is?

When the tiger baby passed by the boulder with the long sword, there was a strange sense, and the sound of the sword seemed to be heard in her consciousness. It's not that the giant sword in the stone is really ringing, but that there is a huge magic circle here, connecting the five mountain peaks together, and the giant sword in front of the mountain gate is one of the formation centers.

No one has specifically taught the Tiger Baby Formation, but the Taihao Ruins have the magic circle laid out by the Taihao Heavenly Emperor back then, where the altar, Langji, Dragon Blood Treasure Tree, including the distribution of mountain stones and lotus ponds all contain the magic of the formation, and it was the Yuanshen World in the Tiger Baby Realm. Although the tiger baby can't fully understand it now, she can also understand the mysteries of many formations.

The top and bottom of Wufu Hill should be arranged with a large array to protect the mountain, and it is usually not very powerful, but once it encounters a strong enemy, not only the giant sword in the stone will turn into a sharp blade, but even the mountain peaks will manifest the killing power like a towering sword. Regardless of whether Wufuqiu is the strongest sect in Bayuan or not, its fundamental location is almost impossible to attack.

Huwa guessed correctly, the magic circle he sensed didn't seem to be a secret, and the vendors who climbed the mountain together also talked about it. It turns out that the formation that surrounds the five peaks of Wufu Hill is called the Lock Mountain Sword Formation, which can not only be launched when encountering a strong enemy, but also in normal times, the masters of the world are not allowed to fly up Wufu Hill at will. Unless it is to control the martial arts sword, the sword array will naturally activate to intercept it.

In other words, even if he is a master of the Transformation Realm with the ability to fly, he cannot fly directly up the mountain without the permission of Wufu Qiu. For the tiger baby, who has been accustomed to walking mountain roads since childhood, there is nothing special about stepping on the path to the sky, but for most people in the world, it is too steep to walk calmly, and almost all of them have to use their hands and feet at the same time.

It's best not to look back when walking on this road, otherwise you will have a feeling of dizziness when you climb the steep wall, and as long as you step on the air, you will roll straight down, and there are many people below.

Of course, the masters on Wufu Hill will not let this kind of accident happen, in fact, there is not only this road to go up the mountain, and the path to heaven is not a road, it is like a huge crack that splits between the mountains. Once someone rolls down, a figure on the side of the road flashes over to catch him, not only for fear that the person will fall to his death, but also because he can't hit the person below.

Every time she walks a short distance, Huwa can see the horizontal mountain road next to it, winding and gentle, and some vendors have unloaded their burdens and set up stalls at the intersection, mainly selling water and thirst-quenching melons and fruits. At the time of the winter solstice, in a plateau like Wufu Hill, you can still buy sweet and juicy melons and fruits, and they are a specialty that outsiders can't name. Hanxiong also bought a lot, please everyone try it, it is really delicious.

The little sprinkler whispered again: "According to the news I heard, every year on the day of the winter solstice, the disciples on the Wufu Hill will stay on both sides of the Ascending Heaven Path, just to prevent climbers from having accidents. ”

Hanxiong took a bite of the cucumber in his hand and said, "You have already said that there are likely to be disciples of Wufuqiu among those vendors, and they will take this opportunity to make some money by the way, so what about the venerable elder of Wufuqiu? I just bought the cucumber in the hands of an old man, do you think he will be the predecessor of the sword?"

Everyone laughed, and the little sprinkler girl giggled: "You be quiet, don't let people hear it!" You also think too much, what a master the sword slash predecessor is, how can he come out to set up a stall?"

A group of six of them, led by the tiger baby, walked unhurriedly but never stopped, and after half an hour, they had already surpassed many climbers, after all, they all had at least three realms or more cultivation. There were many people in front of them who ran fast at first, but after climbing a section of the mountain road, they were tired and out of breath, and retreated to the side path to rest.

The tiger baby sighed secretly, the mountain road is not half completed, the higher you go, the more difficult it feels, it is impossible for these people to reach the top within the specified time. The tiger baby looked at others, and others were also looking at him, and someone on the side of the road said: "Look, someone even brought a dog up the mountain, and he ran quite fast!"

Another person said: "What is a dog, just now someone led a monkey over, who walks this mountain road every year, who is strange?"

Before this person's words fell, the tiger baby heard the wind, and a person jumped up directly from behind him, and then looked up, he couldn't help but think of the people of the Yu people in the wilderness of his hometown, because this person also had wings on his back. There are many demon clans living in the area of Hongjin City, and the tiger baby heard the discussion of others and saw the bull-headed monster and the sheep-headed monster...... Wait a minute.

Someone shouted, "Look, there's a feather people!"

Someone else said: "It's great to be able to fly with wings?

The man from before said, "That will be cut down by the sword array." ”

Another peddler who seemed to be a disciple of Wufuqiu said: "That's not going to happen, the sword formation on the mountain doesn't cut the birds, only the flying supernatural power can trigger it, even if he flies up directly, it's fine." But the miscellaneous disciples on Wufu Hill will only be able to climb the main peak in the future after practicing Wuding Gong, which has nothing to do with whether they have wings or not. ”

Yumin, not only refers to the people of the Yuzu people that Huwa has seen, but also the general name of all the winged demon clans in Bayuan. The feather man who jumped over just now, his wings spread out and he was good at gliding, and it was no problem to encourage his wings to climb this mountain, no wonder he was still walking behind Huwa and the others at the beginning.
