Chapter 144: Up the Mountain
Shen Luo was unwilling to give up, so he walked all the way to the left along the fog wall.
After walking for more than an hour, the white wall of fog still did not stop, and he tried to enter the wall of fog several times to explore the way, but the result was the same as before, and it was difficult to resist the feeling of suffocation.
But as he walked, Shen Luo suddenly found that the terrain under his feet began to rise, and he seemed to be climbing.
Soon, another hour passed, and Shen Luo still found nothing.
Just as he was about to give up and return to Changshou Village, there was a sudden "click" under his feet and he stepped on something.
When Shen Luo looked down to check, he found that there was a corpse under his feet.
His heart moved slightly, and he took another hundred and ten steps forward, and the fog in front of him suddenly began to fade a lot, but the sight that appeared in front of him surprised him.
In a range of about dozens of zhang in front, the ground was full of dense white bones of humans and beasts.
Shen Luo looked at the somewhat familiar scene in front of him, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, but he only hesitated for a moment, and then continued to walk towards the center of the white bones.
When he got closer, he soon saw the hollow on the ground that was about ten zhang long, and it was pitch black inside, which was the void of the heavenly dome that he had escaped from before.
"Sure enough, it's here, and it's coming back again......" Shen Luo muttered.
He walked to the edge of the hollow and looked inside for a moment, but saw nothing.
Shen Luo knew that if there was no protection from the other side flower, once he entered the underworld from here, his body would definitely turn into powder, and there was also a terrifying old demon of Montenegro in it.
"If you want to go down this road again, I'm afraid that the strength of the Soul Condensation Period is not enough, at least you have to get the trick stage. Shen Luo muttered.
With that, he turned away from the place and continued to probe in the other direction.
......
Approaching noon, Shen Luo returned to Changshou Village, and finally failed to find a way out of the fog.
Yingluo had been waiting at the wall early, and was overjoyed to see him come back safely.
Shen Luo frowned slightly, and told her what he had found in the mist, but he just hid the discovery of the dark and empty hole.
"Brother Shen has worked hard, since he can't go out in the fog, then he is ready to continue to fight against the demon beasts. After listening to this, Yingluo was a little disappointed, but still said firmly.
"There is no way out in the fog, I plan to go to Fangcun Mountain to find it. Shen Luo turned his gaze and landed on the majestic mountain behind the village, and said in a calm tone.
"No, no! absolutely not, it's too dangerous there!"
"I know that you have ancestral teachings to prevent people from entering the mountain, but now there is no way out, and only by going up the mountain may there be a glimmer of life. Look at those children, do you really want their last days to be spent in fear of constantly fighting against monsters?" Shen Luo looked at the children playing on the side, and said earnestly.
Hearing this, Yingluo also looked over there, and then fell silent and fell into deep thought.
"Okay, Brother Shen. If you really want to go up the mountain, then I must go with you. After a moment, she looked up and said categorically.
"You don't have to take risks with me, you have to take care of the stockade, and besides, your injuries are not healed. Shen Luo smiled and shook his head.
"Brother Shen, I'm not acting rashly, but without me leading the way, you are afraid that it will be difficult to find the entrance to the mountain. Yingluo shook his head and said.
"Why is that?" Shen Luo wondered.
"The mountains of Fangcun Mountain are steep, and most of the hiking paths are hidden, if I don't lead the way, you will have to work hard just to find the mountain pass. Yingluo said.
"But ...... in the stockade," Shen Luo hesitated.
"Brother Shen, don't worry, you just killed those demon beasts yesterday and suffered heavy casualties, and they will definitely not dare to commit it again in a short period of time. I have skin injuries all over me, and they don't get in the way. Yingluo said with a firm look in his eyes.
"It's fine. Without further ado, let's go now. Shen Luo hesitated for a moment and said.
"Good. ”
Yingluo found the young man in the village named Qingniu and told him to guard the village, and then went to tell Granny Ma to tell him, and then left with Shen Luo and went to Fangcun Mountain.
Fangcun Mountain seems to be behind Changshou Village, but in fact, the distance into the mountain is not short.
In addition, the original mountain road has been no one to walk for many years, and it has long been covered by dense weeds and shrubs, and it is quite difficult to walk, and it took Shen Luo and the two of them an hour to come to the foot of the mountain.
When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Shen Luo knew why Yingluo insisted on coming.
On the Fangcun Mountain in front of him, he could only see pieces of mountain walls hundreds of zhang high, and there was no road at all.
It was also Yingluo who found a huge raised mountain rock according to the topographical features that the old man in the village had said before, and found a hidden cave from below.
They walked up the slope of the cave and walked through the mountain for hundreds of zhang before they passed through a hole in the mountain wall behind Fangcun Mountain.
The two walked along a sheep's intestine path in front of the cave entrance for about two or three miles before they came to a slightly wider mountain road, which was considered to have found the way to really climb Fangcun Mountain.
"You're right, if you don't lead the way, I'm afraid that I won't be able to find the way until the evening. Shen Luo looked at the dense ancient trees around him and couldn't help but say.
"In the past, there were many legends about those immortals in Fangcun Mountain in the village, and I still remember the stories of the butterfly and the woodcutter. One of the guide butterflies said that there was a man who crossed the sea from other continents and wanted to go up the mountain to apprentice to the Tao, but after he arrived at the bottom of the mountain, he got lost and couldn't find the mountain pass. I went around and around the mountain for three years, but I never gave up. In the end, he moved the gods on the mountain, sent a guide butterfly, and led him the way, so that he could climb all the way up the mountain and find the mountain gate. Yingluo said in a sassy voice.
"Maybe the past three years have turned around and he can't find a way, and the gods on the mountain are testing him?" Shen Luo said with a smile after hearing this.
"That's what my father thought when he told me this story. Even when I was a child, I wondered if these tribulations in the village were also a test for us by the gods?" said Yingluo with a smile, but with a hint of sadness in his tone.
"What is the legend of that woodcutter?" Shen Luo asked after changing the subject.
"This story is even more bizarre......" Yingluo heard this, but stopped when the words came to his lips.
Shen Luo on the side also stiffened and stood in place.
On a huge rock dozens of feet away in front of them, a yellow figure silently appeared.
