Chapter Twenty-Eight: Hengshan Waterfall
The white ape led Yang Twenty through the golden flower field and came to a small col in front of the canyon before stopping.
The air here is humid and full of strange rocks.
There was a continuous deafening roar ahead.
The young man looked up and saw that it was a Baizhang waterfall, majestic and upright, flowing down the mountain cliff, and he couldn't help but think of the song "Lushan Waterfall" by Taibai Shixian.
I just don't know if the waterfall in the poem is more magnificent than the one in front of me!
The young man had an idea, and thought of the sloppy man who claimed to be the descendant of the poet and immortal.
Although I don't really want to admit it in my heart, it's already his senior brother's Nine Heavens, so shouldn't the name be taken according to this waterfall?
No wonder the big river in the canyon just now was turbulent, it turned out that this source was spectacular enough.
Under the waterfall of this river pouring down for many years, the bottom of the waterfall is already an unknown deep pool, the water surface splashes with mist, and under the sunlight, a gorgeous rainbow appears in the air like a flyover, which is really magnificent.
This hundred miles of horizontal mountains, although from the outside, are full of dense and dense jungles, it turns out that there is a lot inside, at least the strange and charming scenery in this mountain can make people feast their eyes.
Just as Yang Twenty sighed in his heart, the white ape on the side moved.
In the next scene, let the boy decide once again that he should obediently treat this beast as a human being!
I saw the white ape walk to the edge of a strange rock that was more than ten zhang high and half the size of a house in width, stretched out his arms, hugged the stone pillar at a corner, and just like that, under the young man's stunned eyes, he threw the entire stone pillar under the waterfall.
It's a breeze.
The waterhole splashed like a monstrous wave!
Then the white ape pointed at the boy, and then to the distant waterfall with only a tabletop-sized boulder exposed under the waterfall.
Yang Twenty swallowed a mouthful of saliva, moistened his dry throat, and said in disbelief: "You let me stand on top of the boulder?"
The white ape nodded definitely.
Since last fall, the young man who felt that "there is nothing difficult in the world, but he is afraid of people with a heart", he can't help but feel that this big brother of the white ape is joking with him?!
The momentum of the waterfall is so great that even the boulder at the bottom of the water looks like it is shaking, and if this person stands on it, he can't be washed into the bottom of the water in an instant!
Although the young man felt that this matter sounded a bit incredible, he was not timid, since the White Ape Brother, who was a master grandmaster, had asked him to do this, then there must be a reason for it.
Yang Twenty calmed down, and was about to ask again, "How should I go up?"
The monkey, with a hint of a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, told the boy the answer simply and rudely.
That is, the boy was like a pheasant, picked up by the white ape from the neck and thrown directly into the pool.
Yang Twenty has been familiar with water since he was a child, otherwise if an ordinary landlubber was thrown into a waterhole like this, he might die on the spot.
Not only is the pool cold and biting, but there is also an underwater surging formed by the waterfall smashing down, sucking people down.
Not to mention standing on the stone that was hit by a huge force at the bottom of the waterfall, with the ability of the young man at this time, he couldn't connect to the stone.
But the boy is a stubborn man who never admits defeat.
This can be seen from the fact that Fengyuelou Turtle Gong beat him without saying a word.
Yang Twenty struggled to swim forward, and every time he was about to reach the rocks, he was hit back by the waves washed by the waterfall, and he had to always be on guard against the undercurrent whirlpool under the water.
If it was on the ground, it would be only about ten steps away, but at this time, the boy would suffer so much that he could not get close, it was like a chasm.
Suddenly, the young man faintly understood a little bit of the difficult scene after refining the gods that the sloppy man told him at that time.
Is refining the gods just to hone the mind?
Isn't this a kind of will training!
But it was not wise to be distracted from thinking about it at this time, and it was too early, because an undercurrent had already sucked him underwater.
The teenager tried his best to swim out of the water and exhaled heavily.
At this time, the white ape was already lazily sitting on the branch of a big tree, and ate a wild fruit that I didn't know where it came from.
It no longer takes Yang Twenty over the mountains and mountains, this is the leisure life that a master should have, even if it is an ape, the most important thing is to be smart!
If this psychic white ape is a little more ruthless and can speak human words, he will definitely remind the young man in the water loudly at this time, that the playful man surnamed Yu, when he came to Hengshan, was already a martial artist of the four realms about twenty years old, and he climbed in this waterhole for more than half a month before he touched the stone for the first time!
As for the first few of them, they have also gone through a lot of hardships!
It depends on how capable you are now.
This afternoon, the boy in the water was desperately swimming forward for a while, and then he was swept back, and then he continued to swim forward, and he continued to wander in the endless cycle of being washed back, but he couldn't get close to the stone.
After dusk, the boy climbed onto the grass on the shore, and his whole body was as cold as a stone in the water, but he didn't feel any cold, and he unusually felt a hot breath emanating from his body.
The boy felt that since he came to this mountain, he had become a little abnormal.
As the saying goes: rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to eat the water.
The climate is slowly getting hotter, and the teenagers in the mountains and rivers are becoming more and more worried about eating and drinking, not only the white apes can catch pheasants and hares, but there are also a large number of white fish under this pool, and the meat is fragrant and tender.
There are also some early-maturing wild fruits in the mountains that can also satisfy hunger.
In fact, with the current running speed of the teenager, it is naturally not a problem to go out and catch two mountain jumping hares and come back, but since he shoulders the important responsibility of touching fish and barbecue, then the physical work of catching rabbits and catching pheasants is still handed over to the white ape to do a good job.
Anyway, this vigorous guy has nothing to do now, and he either sleeps on the trunk of a tree all day long, or just watches him Yang Twenty desperately digging in the pool water!
For the next few days, the boy tirelessly swam to the boulder below the waterfall, but again and again in vain, the most recent one was three steps away from the top of the rock, and his strength had already failed.
Although the dress on Yang Twenty's body was full of holes and tattered, the boy still took it off, folded it and put it on a stone on the shore, the weather was getting hotter, and it seemed that he would not need it for the time being.
So a shirtless boy walked back and forth like a duck on the water below the waterfall every day, and the cycle continued.
Later, the white ape was too lazy to watch his boring performance, so he simply found some wide leaves, covered his head and fell asleep.
But these days, because the young man was bare-chested and soaked in water all day long, the skin on his body slowly became white and soft, and it was no longer so dark and rough.
On the eighth day, the boy finally touched the stone.
It's just a touch.
But for the teenager, it has already made great progress, and victory is in sight.
Not only is his swimming skills becoming more and more exquisite, but more importantly, he is washed back by the wandering head, and after resting for a while, there is an instantaneous explosive power that accumulates every time.
Helplessly, although the boy can touch the stone every time now, the moment he touches the boulder in the water, he will be swept back by the tail of the waterfall in an instant.
Even so, when this scene was inadvertently seen by the awakened white ape, it first looked up and thought, as if calculating time, and then looked at the young man in the water, and finally there was a look of approval in its eyes.
And the white ape began to observe the water boy from time to time.
The boy rushed forward as always, and was beaten back by the waves again and again!
A look of anxiety slowly appeared in the white ape's eyes.
Day 10.
When Yang Twenty was knocked back by the splashing waves of a waterfall again, he was no longer in a hurry to step forward, and floated on the surface of the water and began to think.
The master once said, "Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety", and Yang Twenty is facing this situation at the moment.
Is it true that as soon as you reach the edge of the stone, you lose your strength in an instant?
No!
If he was able to touch the top of the stone at the beginning, he was still exhausted and weak, but now, two days later, after being washed back by the current, he still has residual strength in his body.
The young man woke up instantly, not because he had no strength in his body after touching the stone, but that after reaching the goal in his heart at that moment, his mind suddenly relaxed, and he lost the spirit of being vigorous, and naturally he had no strength.
It turns out that the biggest enemy at the moment is not the waterfall, but him Yang Twenty himself!
Thinking of this, the boy leaped forward again.
This time, he didn't have the boulder in front of him, so he just swam forward in one go.
Or failed.
Ten times later, he finally managed to grasp a groove at the top of the boulder.
The white ape was already standing on top of the trunk, majestic on all sides, and it nodded slowly.
But now another problem is in front of the teenager.
Although he grabbed the stone trough at this time and stabilized his body, he was in the water and had nowhere to borrow his strength, so how could he climb to the top of the stone!
Soon after, the boy was swept back into the middle of the waterhole by the waterfall again.
