Chapter 457: Kongming Mountain
Kongming Mountain is not far from Mingshan Town, you can see it when you look up, the peaks are different in height, but they are undulating, and the momentum is still magnificent. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It took half a day for ordinary people to walk from Mingshan Town to Kongming Mountain, but Chen Feifei abandoned his horse and walked forward, and it only took an hour to reach the foot of the mountain.
Looking up at Kongming Mountain, the appearance at this time is different from what you see in Mingshan Town, and you can't see the top of the mountain at a glance. At the foot of the mountain, the tourists and the hawkers stand in the open space in front of the mountain, bustling, so lively; from here to go up the mountain, there is only one way to go up the mountain, the stone steps that can accommodate four or five people walking side by side can be accommodated, all the way up the mountain body also enters the clouds, I don't know how many people's blood and sweat were spent on building this mountain road at the beginning; there is a stone tablet erected on the side, and the dragon flies and the phoenix dances and engraves three big characters "Kongming Mountain".
Chen Feifei followed them up the mountain slowly, just as a temporary tour of the mountains and rivers. Walking up the stone steps, the green mountains and white clouds, the mountain breeze blowing slightly, mixed with the unique taste of the mountains, makes people feel refreshed and happy, and the fatigue along the way has also been relieved a lot.
In this mountain, there are many tourists, adults and children, everywhere they go, all of them are laughter, which makes climbing a lot of fun.
The main peak of Kongming Mountain, Taicang Peak, is towering into the clouds, ordinary people have spent half a day walking halfway up the mountain, and generally take a short rest in the middle of the mountain, and then return to the same way to go down the mountain. But those who have a heart will continue to go up to the top of the mountain, and I heard that there is a temple near the top of the mountain, and it takes a day to get to that temple halfway up the mountain.
This led to an inn halfway up the mountain, so that people could rest for the night and set off early the next morning for the temple at the top of the mountain.
Chen Feifei was originally the same as a tourist, walking up slowly, enjoying the scenery along the way, but when he heard others mention the temple on the top of the mountain, he suddenly felt that this seemed to be inextricably linked with Lu Ran, and felt that this matter could not be delayed, and he had to go to the temple to take a look and ask, so he quickened his pace, and when he reached the halfway up the mountain, it was not yet noon.
The inn halfway up the mountain made Chen Feifei suddenly think of the one on the earth-shattering mountain, but there was no connection between the two; after stopping for a while on the halfway up the mountainside and buying some dry food in the inn, Chen Feifei didn't stop, and continued to go up, intending to rush to the temple before dark.
From the halfway up the mountainside, this is different from the Astounding Mountain, here is still a stone step road, but it is much narrower than the previous one, and there are barely two people walking side by side, and the steps up are also high and low, sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, not as neatly built under the mountainside, but this does not prevent Chen Feifei, he is also a person who practices martial arts, and such stone steps are naturally like walking on the ground.
Halfway up the mountain, there is a large wood, through which there is no danger, except for the squirrels and hares, and the occasional wild birds fly in the mountains, and there are no other so-called fierce birds and beasts.
Out of the woods, what I saw was a long grass that was knee-high, strange to say, the grass grew everywhere, but it did not cover the stone path in the slightest, and there was a road to the right of the stone steps, but the path was very narrow, and could only be walked by one person, not paved with stones, and seemed to be a path that was trodden out of the long grass by many people.
Chen Feifei didn't have time to check where the path on the right led at the moment, and continued to go up, past this knee-long grass, it was already half an hour later, and then there was another forest, but this forest was different from the previous one, only the trunk had no leaves.
Without thinking about it, Chen Feifei held the hilt of the sword in his right hand, and continued to walk up, passing through this forest, what appeared in front of him was a snowy field, and the slightest cold air had already hit his face;
Looking back, Chen Feifei could no longer see half of the mountainside, the Mingshan Town in the distance was so small that it could only be vaguely visible, this mountain was not lower than the Shocking Mountain, and he looked up again, the top of the mountain was still out of reach. Not to mention the top of the mountain, even the temple, he couldn't see half a shadow.
No wonder ordinary people have to spend a day to get to the temple, although it is straight up, but this distance is indeed a bit far, and the higher you go, the more difficult this stone step is, fortunately there are no wild beasts on the way, for ordinary people, except for some fatigue, there is no other difficulty.
Chen Feifei is a person who practices martial arts, coupled with the presence of Linggang Sword Qi and Blade True Qi in his body, his physique is naturally different from ordinary people, and he does not have a trace of cold feeling when he walks on this snow.
After the snow, there is another forest, but this forest is low, only more than one person high, and each tree is covered with snow, which can also be called a snow forest.
Seeing the sunset on the western mountain, the sky was about to get dark, Chen Feifei had to speed up his pace, through this snow forest, and then there was a strange stone field covered with snow all around, and when he looked up again, he could vaguely see the outer wall of the temple with yellow walls and black tiles.
After climbing the mountain for a whole day, Chen Feifei didn't feel too tired, and after passing the strange rocky ground, he came to the front of this temple, and then went up the temple, it was a white expanse, and he couldn't tell where the snow was and where the clouds were. Regarding the top of the mountain, Chen Feifei didn't feel any interest for the time being, he came here for only one purpose, that is, to find Lu Ran's whereabouts.
Retract your gaze and look at this temple again, this temple occupies a small area, there is a small open space in front of it, the temple is surrounded by a yellow wall; the stone steps that come up all the way from the foot of the mountain to this open space are gone, the two vermilion gates in front of the temple are closed at this time, there is a plaque hanging on the door, and the three big characters of "Baixue Temple" are written in gold characters on a black background.
Chen Feifei stepped forward and knocked on the door a few times, and after a while, a gap slowly opened in the door on the left, and a small monk poked out from it, about thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed in coarse cloth monk robes, seeing Chen Feifei, he hurriedly clasped his hands together and shouted: "Amitabha." ”
Then as soon as the door opened, the little monk let out his body and said, "Donor, please come inside." ”
Chen Feifei also folded his hands and replied as he walked: "Thank you." It's hard work. ”
At this time, it was getting late, and the little monk regarded Chen Feifei as a person who traveled in the mountains and rivers, and directly led him to a hut, served tea and water, and brought food. Chen Feifei did not explain the purpose of this visit, and after thanking the little monk, he ate fast, used hot water, lay on this ordinary bed, and slept peacefully.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, the little monk still brought hot water and fasting rice, and Chen Feifei hurriedly asked: "Little monk, can the host meet conveniently?" I have something important to ask. ”
The little monk folded his hands and replied: "Amitabha, donor, please wait here for news, and the little monk will come when he goes." ”
Not long after, the little monk knocked on the door and entered the house, clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha." After the donor has eaten the fast, please go to the Tingxue Hall with the little monk. ”
