Chapter 272: The Top of the Pious Mountain
In the evening, as the sun sets, the sky is lit red, suspended in patches.
The red and yellow light shrouded the entire Xique City area, giving the northwest region of the Qiting Continent an extra kind of glamorous beauty.
Xiyun Country is located in the northwest, and most of them are deserts, especially in the area west of Xique City, which is even more rare.
Although it is a mountain range, there is only greenery at the foot of the mountain, and only occasionally you can see vegetation and green trees halfway up the mountainside and above.
At this moment, near the top of Zuoqian Mountain, there are three figures there, overlooking the foot of the mountain, but they can only see the small mountain village houses.
See all the mountains at a glance!
Shen Shifang, Lian Kongling, and Xiao Yang Yu were about to reach the peak after a day of non-stop climbing.
During the period, Shen Shifang resolved the dangers one by one and avoided them safely.
Seeing that it was getting dark, he had to climb the mountain before nightfall and find a flat area to camp on.
"Let's hurry up!" Shen Shifang looked at it and said, "It seems that it is only less than ten zhang high, and if you climb this rock, you will reach the peak." ”
Lian Kongling moved his hands and feet, grinned, and said, "Then come on! ”
Shen Shifang rolled up the used rope, slung it on his shoulder, looked left and right, and decided to jump from a withered tree.
So, he tested the stability of the root of the tree with his hand, and felt that it was feasible, so he propped it up with his bare hands, and his body rose into the air and landed firmly on the root.
But the rock wall in front of me is relatively smooth, and it is really difficult to find concave and convex points. However, I have tried it with a hook before, but there is nothing that can be hooked, and it is estimated that it is also a flat place.
Therefore, Shen Shifang needed to take the risk of climbing this last rock wall.
I can't help but think about it, the longer it gets, the harder it will be for the roots to support themselves. As a result, Shen Shifang's three dantians lit up with a violent red light, condensing the true qi in his feet.
Immediately, a circular rune lit up under his feet, and he jumped lightly, and it was three zhang high. At a position three zhang high, Shen Shifang kicked on the rock wall, and rose again with his strength.
When he reached a place about seven zhang high, Shen Shifang borrowed his strength again and rose to another height.
Seeing that he could grasp the top edge of the rock wall at this moment, Shen Shifang's hand quickly grabbed it, but unexpectedly an accident happened.
I saw that the place where Shen Shifang grabbed was a loose stone, and he didn't grasp it steadily, and the moment he fell down, he yelled.
"Xiao Yang's eyes!"
Xiao Yang and Lian Kongling had been watching Shen Shifang and had also seen the accident happen.
If Shen Shifang fell, not only would his efforts be in vain, but his inertial impact would cause Lian Kongling and Xiao Yang Yu to be knocked down together, which would be more than a hundred zhang high!
And this boulder top, which could only accommodate three people to stand, did not have any space for Shen Shifang to roll at all.
At this moment, the tacit understanding of the three is reflected at this moment.
When Shen Shifang spoke, he saw Lian Kongling quickly kneeling on one knee, his hands overlapping.
Xiao Yang stepped on the palm of Lian Kongling's hand, and then the true qi flowed to his feet, stepping on the snow to find plums, and the diameter of the firework rushed upward.
Even Kongling's hands were thrown, and Xiao Yang's snow treading to find plums, under the two forces, the latter was already at a height of six zhang.
At this time, he happened to encounter Shen Shifang.
Shen Shifang gathered the strength of his whole body to make his body lighter than ever, and this light body technique of stepping on the snow and looking for plum blossoms was indeed very useful.
Shen Shifang stepped on Xiao Yang's shoulder with one foot, and used the snow to find plum blossoms to rush up, and the bright light was very strong under his feet.
And Xiao Yang was also stepped on by Shen Shifang, and the diameter fell back to the same place.
Lian Kongling hurriedly put his weight on his feet, grabbed it with both hands, and fixed Xiao Yang's eyes to prevent the latter from falling.
The two looked up and saw that Shen Shifang was already waving his hand on the edge of the rock wall.
Lian Kongling breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I almost fell here." ”
Xiao Yang also patted his chest, and said with palpitations: "It's good that I can do seven stunts, otherwise I can't believe that I will do this." ”
Lian Kongling scolded with a smile: "Won't you do this because of the Seven Martial Arts?" That's your Shifang brother, you want to watch him fall into meat sauce?"
Xiao Yang smiled awkwardly and said, "Hehe, I'll just talk about it." ”
It's not just talking, even if Xiao Yang Zhen hasn't practiced the Seven Halls, and he has a fear of the sky, he will save Shen Shifang without hesitation.
While the two were talking, Shen Shifang was looking for solid trees, stones, and other things around, but it backfired, and he didn't find it.
This rock wall is a bit big, and after walking more than 50 steps from the edge, I saw that it was dirt, and it was all small grass and flowers, and there were no huge trees and stones at all.
There was no way, Shen Shifang had no choice but to take out the green sword, go in and out with all his strength, and use his true qi to submerge the green sword into the ground, leaving only the hilt of the sword.
If there is any knowledge from Taiqian Quanxia and the heir who knows his swordsmanship treats the second famous sword in the world like this, I am afraid that he will lift the coffin board and have to scold Shen Shifang.
Shen Shifang didn't care, if the green sword couldn't be used to seek justice for the people, even if it was the first in the world?
Shen Shifang checked the solid state of the green sword, and felt that there was no problem, so he firmly tied the other end of the two ropes.
He then threw the rope down.
Soon, Shen Shifang saw that the rope was tight, and he knew that someone was climbing.
So, Shen Shifang pulled people up in order to make a contribution.
Fortunately, the rope that Xue Fei was looking for was of good quality, otherwise it would have been worn out by the turning point.
For a moment, Xiao Yang's head was exposed next to the rock wall.
As soon as he came up, he sat on the ground and muttered to himself: "Whew~ It's finally here, but I'm tired to death." ”
Shen Shifang ignored him, so he asked him to rest first, and threw the rope that Xiao Yang Yu took to Lian Kongling.
Subsequently, even the empty tomb came up.
"Aha! All living beings are at my feet. Lian Kongling raised his arms and cheered, and said, "Well~ This feels so wonderful." ”
Shen Shifang said with a smile: "I heard that the first peak of Xiyun Country is the Immortal Peak, and it is not the turn of this pious mountain. ”
Lian Kongling said at this time: "I said Shifang, as the saying goes, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down." I've gone through a lot of hardships to come up, so ...... down the mountain But how?"
Shen Shifang took the rope and said, "I asked people to explore the mountain range here before, and that person is a resident near Qianshan Mountain. He said that there were often people hunting in Xique City, and there was a way to go up to the halfway point of Zuoqian Mountain.
As long as we follow the ridge diagonally, we will definitely find a good place to go. The length of the rope I asked Xue Fei to prepare was enough for us to go down halfway up the mountain. ”
With that, Shen Shifang threw the rope onto Xiao Yang, who was lying on the grass, and he looked at the ridge from afar, observing the terrain.
Their current terrain is sloping, and there is a forest below, and I don't know if they can continue to go down.
Lian Kongling was lazy and said, "It's getting late, let's go down the mountain while surveying tomorrow!" Now, hurry up and light a fire to prevent some eagles from attacking." This kind of place is their nest. ”
After that, Lian Kongling kicked Xiao Yang's foot and motioned for the latter to go with him to the forest to find firewood.
Seeing this, Shen Shifang took out some dry food and water from the condensing jade on the spot, stacked them on the ground, and waited for the two of them to come back.
Then, he used his true qi again and pulled out the green sword vigorously.
When the green sword came out of the dirt, it was still as usual, faintly emitting a blue light.
Shen Shifang wiped off the mud on the stick, and the secret path was worthy of being a peerless famous sword, not only was the hardness enough, but it was still not dull at all after dozens of battles.
Soon, Lian Kongling and Xiao Yang came back with a large pile of firewood, and after a few people's efforts, the spark slowly grew larger, and fireworks rose at the top of the mountain.
At this point, it was getting dark.
The temperature at the top dropped a few points as soon as the night fell, but fortunately there was a fire to keep warm, and after the three of them had eaten and drunk enough, they took turns keeping vigil.
When eating, Xiao Yang wanted to take advantage of the quiet night and wanted to drink two sips to keep out the cold, but was scolded by Lian Kongling.
"If you get drunk and fall off the cliff, I don't think you will become meat sauce. ”
After hearing this, Xiao Yang lay on the ground and fell asleep with a little fear.
At the same time, Su Muxin and his generals were discussing the affairs of the Taishou Mansion, and although Xuan Ye was deeply injured, they also participated.
Su Muxin took the lead in praising Xuan Yi and Gongsun Jie, who had a great deal to contribute to defeating the rebels' cavalry camp lying in ambush outside the city.
The two of them recorded a meritorious service, and after the class teacher returned to the court, they were rewarded together.
In this raid on the enemy, 1,242 enemy soldiers were captured, 2,015 horses were seized, more than 2,000 weapons, and dozens of stones of grain and grass were collected.
More than 800 enemy troops were killed, 170 were killed and wounded in the cavalry battalion of the expeditionary army, 68 were killed or wounded in the vanguard battalion, and more than 1,000 enemy troops were estimated to have fled.
Such results are already very fruitful.
After praising Xuan Yi and the others, Su Muxin said again: "They have been gone for a day, and they don't know what happened." ”
They here naturally refer to Shen Shifang and the three of them.
Among those present, only Xue Fei guessed what Shen Shifang was doing. At that time, I was shocked, thinking how bold I was to dare to climb over the Qianshan Mountain.
Since Shen Shifang asked him for ropes and other items, he had guessed one or two.
He said: "My lord, there are some things that I don't know whether to talk about or not. ”
Su Muxin said, "What's the matter? But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Xue Fei said respectfully: "I think the military advisor is a little reckless, he is taking risks. Once he fails, the strategy in the bag will be useless, so let's think about the best strategy for attacking the city as soon as possible!"
When the words fell, Situ Jie said curiously: "Deputy Commander Xue, how do you think that the Ten Directions will fail?
Xue Feixian said: "It's not that I can't believe it, it's just that Zuoqian Mountain has no road, and there are cliffs and strange rocks everywhere, except for the fairy powerhouse, I really can't think of anyone who can climb it." ”
"What did you say?" Situ Jie panicked in her heart, and she asked, "Ten directions, they want to climb over the Qian Mountain?"
Xue Feixian nodded and said, "Last night, he asked for three days' worth of rations, medicine, water, and some war knives and ropes. The last general guessed that the military division was going to climb the Qianshan Mountain, enter the Xique City, and join us inside and outside. ”
Situ Jie stumbled and almost lost his footing.
Hua Qingyu hurriedly supported her and said, "It's okay, others can't believe it, can't you still trust Shifang?"
At this time, a lieutenant said: "The danger of Qianshan, I'm afraid they will die for nine lives, we should really prepare a good strategy for attacking the city." ”
As the words fell, the temperature in the chamber seemed to drop a little.
Everyone looked at it, and the four people led by Situ Jie were murderous, staring at the captain coldly.
"Zhang apologizes!" Situ Jie said coldly.
Zhang apologized and instantly understood what was going on, the little lieutenant, dared to curse the landlord, was he impatient?
I saw that Zhang Qiao arrived in front of the captain at an extraordinary speed, and a set of thousand-hit combat skills beckoned over.
Seeing this, there were one or two Zhonglang generals who couldn't see it, and actually recklessly beat a court official in front of the lord of the country.
"Stop!
Zhang apologized and stopped, and the captain was caught off guard and was beaten like a pig's head.
But it's not over, Zhang apologizes for carrying out Situ Jie's orders to the letter, and no one can stop him.
For him and Song Wenruo, Shen Shifang was not there, and Situ Jie's words were the words of their landlord.
Therefore, Zhang Apologize approached the person who opened his mouth to stop him step by step, and said coldly: "You are in my eyes Zhang Apologize...... 10,000 is not as good as the landlord, curse my landlord, you should be killed!"
