Chapter Ninety-Three: Shocking Mountain
After the fifth watch, the sun appeared to the east of the earth-shattering city, dispelling the cold and dim night, heralding the arrival of a new day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The morning sun sprinkled on people's bodies, although not as dazzling and warm as at noon, but it is extraordinarily cordial and comfortable.
Under this soft morning sun, the three Chen Feifei brothers headed towards the Heaven-shattering Mountain to the west of the Heaven-shattering City.
In the early morning of the Shocking City, there were no people to be seen on the road at all, but fortunately, the city gate had already been opened at the fifth watch, and the road to the Shocking Mountain was just as deserted, but this did not reduce the interest of the three of them in the slightest.
The distance of four or five miles is not very long for three horseback riders, and the three of them have reached the foot of the Astounding Mountain after chatting for a while on the road.
Fortunately, there were several inns at the foot of the mountain, and the three of them found an inn nearby, and after settling the three horses, they bought some dry food in the inn to be brought to the mountain for lunch, and then they traveled lightly and headed for the Shocking Mountain.
Yesterday, they looked at this mountain from afar, but when they stood at the foot of this mountain and looked up at the peak from the bottom up, the three of them knew that the mountain was terrifying, and they could not see the top at a glance.
The three of them have just asked the inn's little two, there are stone steps at the foot of this mountain that extend to the Wolong Pond halfway up the mountain, and there are no stone steps to go from the Wolong Pool to the Cupola Terrace further up, there is a mountain road but it is very difficult to walk, if you want to walk from the Cupola to the top of the Shocking Mountain, then you need to find a way to go up, because there is no mountain road on it. Ordinary tourists can reach Wolong Pond, and if they have good physical strength, they will reach the cupola, almost no one has been to the top of the mountain, and even local people rarely have the ability to climb to the top of the mountain.
People on the mountain road have begun to climb up one after another, and Chen Feifei and the three of them couldn't wait to join the queue of climbing the mountain when they saw this.
Climbing the mountain in the early morning, listening to the gentle and crisp chirping of the birds, and breathing in the fresh air emitted by the surrounding trees, it is really refreshing. The morning dew moistened the surrounding flowers and trees, and the three of them walked with their backs to the sun, and the surrounding scenery was so bright and dazzling.
"Big brother, where do we climb?" Zhang Xiaohua was the easiest of the three to climb the mountain.
"What do you say? This mountain won't be higher than Eagle Snow Mountain, right?" Chen Feifei raised his head and asked, the scenery in the mountain is very beautiful and attractive, but this stone step is long and steep, and what is even more annoying is that this stone step is cultivated straight up for a while, but it has become a winding mountain for a while, and the mountain that has been climbed for nearly an hour has not even seen the shadow of half of Wolong Pond.
"It should be higher than Eagle Snow Mountain!" Looking at the top of the mountain covered by white clouds, Xiao Mufeng sighed with emotion.
"Then let's climb to Wolong Pond!" Although Zhang Xiaohua was very interested in this earth-shattering mountain, he did not forget that there was an appointment with the Jade Tower at night.
"Forget it, I think we'll climb until noon, and then find a random place to eat some dry food and go down the mountain!" Xiao Mufeng said.
"En!" Chen Feifei nodded, "It is estimated that we will not be able to get to Wolong Pool, if we really have to get there, we will not be able to go to the Jade Tower." ”
"Hey!" Zhang Xiaohua said a little discouraged: "It seems that there is no chance." ”
Xiao Mufeng opened the water bag and drank a sip of water, then handed it to Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Here! Drink some water!
Zhang Xiaohua took the water bag, took a few sips, smiled and handed it to Chen Feifei on the side, "Yes, not today, you can come again tomorrow!"
Taking the water bag handed by Zhang Xiaohua, Chen Feifei also took a few sips and said, "Well, if there is nothing to do tomorrow, we can come again." ”
"Wow!" Xiao Mufeng pointed to a pavilion on the mountain that was still far away, and said, "Let's get there today." ”
"Good!" the other two nodded in agreement.
At this time, the sun got rid of the shyness when it first rose, and the whole earth was illuminated, and more and more people came to the mountain, and the foot of the mountain was already crowded, so that the originally quiet mountain atmosphere was suddenly lively.
It took about another hour for Chen Feifei and the three of them to come to the pavilion they had just mentioned.
The first to meet the eyes of the three people is the "Windward Pavilion" three into the wood three big characters, this Windward Pavilion has a total of four corners, each corner is depicted with a dragon that flies against the wind, and can accommodate seven or eight people Windward Pavilion but only uses four dragon stone pillars to support, these four dragon stone pillars depicted dragon, each has only one, and they are different, but they are all lifelike.
Because the windward pavilion is built against the mountain, it is all made of stone, which is very firm, and there are benches and guardrails around the pavilion in the pavilion for tourists to rest.
Chen Feifei and the three of them sat down in the pavilion, drank some water, and ate some dry food they brought with them, which was regarded as a Chinese meal.
"Big brother, second brother, look!" Zhang Xiaohua lay on the guardrail on the east side of the pavilion and pointed to the bottom of the mountain with an excited face.
Chen Feifei and Xiao Mufeng looked down along Zhang Xiaohua's fingertips, and what they saw was the Heaven-Shattering City! The height of this pavilion was about more than 100 zhang from the foot of the mountain, and the things at the foot of the mountain were already blurry, but the Shocking City in the distance was still so clear, which showed the scale of the Shocking City.
When the three of them were looking at it intently, four more people came to the pavilion, all four of them were dressed as mountain peasants, with thick bodies and dark skin.
The four of them greeted Chen Feifei and the three of them in a friendly manner, and Chen Feifei and the three of them also responded in a friendly manner.
After greeting each other, the four mountain peasants sat down in each of the pavilions and began to eat their own cakes.
After enjoying the beautiful scenery in and down the mountain a little, Xiao Mufeng opened his mouth and asked, "Big brother, I think I should be able to go down the mountain!"
Before Chen Feifei could speak, one of the four mountain farmers in the pavilion suddenly spoke: "Hey, I said three little brothers, why don't you continue to climb up, the most famous scenic spot here is the Wolong Pond halfway up the mountain, most people come to climb this earth-shattering mountain for the Wolong Pool." ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" another mountain farmer, who was the oldest in the country, echoed: "If you haven't been to Wolong Pond, you haven't been to Wolong Mountain." ”
Zhang Xiaohua said discouragedly: "It's not that we don't want to, it's that we really don't have time today!"
A mountain farmer who looked the stout among the four people was afraid that Chen Feifei would not know, and after taking a bite of the big cake in his hand, he hurriedly said: "It's okay! There is a 'Linlong Xuan' not far from the Wolong Pond, you can stay there for one night and go down the mountain the next day." ”
"It's not because of the problem of living!" Chen Feifei knew that several mountain farmers were also kind, but he still had to explain, "It's because we are going to the Sky Shattering City for an appointment tonight, so we won't go to Wolong Pool." ”
The medium-sized mountain farmer who had spoken to them first wiped his mouth, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and smiled, "Oh! Three little brothers, you must go to Wolong Pond to see if you come back in the future, the four of us are working in Linlongxuan, and when you come to Linlongxuan, you will have to help if you encounter anything, even if you come to us, we will definitely help you if you can help. ”
"Definitely! Then the three of us brothers are here first, thank you to the four eldest brothers!" Chen Feifei also smiled, he didn't expect that the mountain farmers here were really enthusiastic.
"By the way, may I ask a few big brothers, since there is Linlongxuan on Wolong Pond that can temporarily spend the night, why are there still few people who go to the rooftop?" The answer to this question has been very curious since Zhang Xiaohua started to climb the mountain, but he has not been able to find the right person to answer it, and now the four mountain farmers in front of him are the best answerers.
"Because it's hard to walk!" finally spoke, the fourth, slightly thin mountain farmer, who had not spoken just now.
"Since there is a cupola on it, why do the stone steps only go to Wolong Pond and no longer continue to be repaired, you can keep repairing to the cupola? This time it was Xiao Mufeng's turn to ask.
This time, it was the eldest of the four who spoke: "Three little brothers, you don't know anything. Although the four of us brothers work in Linlongxuan, they usually cut wood, hunt, and collect medicine, so we are very familiar with this earth-shattering mountain. Why not build to the cupi, it is because it takes more than half a day to reach the cupino from Wolong Pond to the cupizen, where the mountain road is rugged and steep, and it is difficult to build stone steps. Moreover, the cupola is already eight or nine hundred zhang high from the foot of the mountain, where the cold wind is biting, and it is impossible to treat people at all. ”
"Has anyone ever been to the top of the mountain?" Zhang Xiaohua asked again.
"The top of the mountain?!" the four mountain farmers glanced at each other, and finally the oldest of them said, "It's been a long time since anyone has gone up." ”
"Why?" this time it was Chen Feifei who spoke first.
The old man said with a serious face: "This mountain is about 1,800 zhang high, and there are almost no mountain roads from the cupola upwards, and there will be ice roads after that, and the more you go up, the more difficult the road becomes, and there is a danger of losing your life at any time." Actually, these are nothing, but the main thing is that there are dragons on the top of the mountain!"
