Chapter 11: Shang Lingyun

One month after Chongyang is the beginning of winter, Nanyang City may be because of the high terrain, every time before and after the beginning of winter, there must be heavy snow to cover the sky, this year is no exception.

And this year's snow is extraordinarily heavy, even the two six-zhang high town house Pixiu carved from Mount Tai stone outside the gate of Nanwangfu are half gone, and the people of the entire Nanyang City are hiding at home holding the stove to keep warm, and none of them go out.

Outside the door, three or five small servants were laboriously clearing the half-human layer of snow in front of the palace, and it took a long time to clear out a passable road and connect it to the official road.

Xu Yuntian led Fengyunju out of the palace and signaled that the little guy didn't need to clean up, I was afraid that after cleaning up the snow, he would directly cover it, in vain.

Looking around, except for the occasional wisp of black and red door beams exposed under the eaves, there was no difference in the entire Nanyang City. Fortunately, a layer of fine sand was sprinkled on the official road in advance, so that the official road would not be buried by heavy snow.

Xu Gongzi got on the Fengyun horse, and with a light drive, the horse galloped towards Lingyun Peak outside the city.

Lingyun Peak is located three hundred miles north of Nanyang City, at the junction of Nanzhou and Zhongzhou - on the Divine Cliff.

The Shen Cliff is the dividing line between Nanzhou and Zhongzhou, the whole cliff starts from the foot of Kunlun Mountain in Xiliang, extends all the way to Canghai, divides this continent at once, and the "Heavenly Waterfall" of Qingjiang River is formed because of the cliff.

The Fengyun horse under Xu Yuntian is not an ordinary thing, and it is also the king of horses like the black clouds of Xu Yanshan, although it is an exaggeration to travel thousands of miles a day, but three or five hundred miles is still possible.

His Royal Highness Gongzi Xu is not very famous, ten years ago when he first got this horse, he was silent for a long time, and after thinking about it, he only held back the stupid name of a donkey ball, but he remembered a name that was as majestic as a black cloud and did not lose his identity, but His Royal Highness Gongzi did not have that level, so he would use it.

Two hundred and sixty miles out of the city, the official road is getting thinner, and there is much less sand on the road to melt snow, and there is even a thin layer of fine snow before that.

Two hundred and eighty miles, snow covered the horse's hooves.

Two hundred and ninety miles, the heavy snow had already submerged the horse's knee, and the donkey ball could no longer run, so Xu Yuntian got off the horse and led the horse forward, step by step thigh-deep marks, the sky was already dark.

The morning came out of Nanyang, and the twilight reached ten miles outside Lingyun Peak, and it took one night for the last ten miles to come over, the eldest prince gasped for a while, and the black fox fur coat on his body was warm enough, but when he moved, the heat could not be dispersed, and he was easy to sweat, Xu Yuntian only felt that a layer of fine sweat on his chest and back under the coat stuck the dirty clothes, so it was not uncomfortable.

After a little rest, he felt a little cool and stood up, and walked all the way up the trail, the mountain road of Lingyun Peak was windy, and there was no longer the snow that was as thick as the root of the thigh, but fortunately, Xu Yuntian had more than 140 catties of body bones, plus more than 600 catties of donkey balls, and he was not afraid, and he moved forward against the wind, but the frost and wind sword and snow hit his face like a knife, so he put on the hat on his jacket.

When I turned around, I saw that the donkey ball was blown by the cold wind and couldn't open its eyes, and I couldn't help but say: "You haven't eaten a drop of water this day and night, and you have been wronged." After thinking about it, he tore open the left sleeve of the fox fur jacket, and took out two holes from it that were just enough to expose the horse's eyes, and turned around to put the donkey ball on the horse's head.

Looking at this horse, he could open his eyes, clapped his hands and said, "Okay! Such a delicate 'horse hood' can only be made by this son." ”

Lingyun Peak is like a sharp sword that reaches the sky on the top of the god cliff, one side of the mountain road is covered with clouds and mist, below it is thousands of zhang deep in the Central Continent, and the other end is the snowy South Continent. The mountain road is only one meter wide, and there is no handrail protection on both sides, Xu Gongzi secretly sighed and didn't know which dynasty and which generation of ancestors had such great courage, and actually built the mountain road on this knife-like ridge, if one accidentally fell, I am afraid that the bones will not be found.

After three hours, Xu Yuntian has come to the clouds, there is no more wind and snow here, looking around, surrounded by a sea of clouds, the sky is in the middle of the day, it is a good place like a peach blossom spring.

And Lingyunfeng mountain road is a hundred meters ahead to the end, at the end is a platform of tens of meters square, there is a wooden house on the platform, a vegetable garden, a tree he does not recognize, the tree bears delicious fruits, the vegetable garden is planted with evergreen beans in all seasons, and the smoke on the wooden roof wafts out bursts of green smoke, bringing the fragrance of wisps of food.

A day and a night without a drop of water, at this moment Xu Yuntian's stomach was rumbling, and he took two breaths hard, Xu Yuntian praised: "It's so fragrant!"

Before the person arrived, the dog barked first, only more than ten meters away from the garden, a big dog with a whole body of earthy yellow and half a human height roared and rushed out, standing at the end of the mountain road and barking hoarsely, with its tail hanging low, looking like it was about to pounce at any time.

Looking at this big yellow dog, Xu Gongye chuckled and said, "What's the matter, Ah Huang, I haven't seen you for three years, don't you recognize me?"

As soon as the words fell, a voice came from the wooden house: "How many times have you said it, rhubarb, don't drive those migratory birds that fall to the ground, they are just tired and resting, let them rest." ”

Its sound is like a breeze blowing on a lake, but it does not ripple.

Although it was not the first time he had heard this voice, every time he heard this voice, Xu Yuntian felt that a pair of hands had soothed the boredom and unhappiness in his heart, and even the fatigue of going up the mountain was much less.

immediately stretched his neck and shouted, "Aunt Yun, I'm coming to see you!"

As soon as Xu Yuntian's voice came out, he heard a clattering of pots and pans from the wooden house, followed by a scream of suppressed excitement, and then he only felt a breeze blowing, and there was already a person standing in front of the god master.

A heavy bear hug directly lifted Xu Yuntian half a meter from the ground, and at the same time, there was a burst of chattering complaints in his ears.

"Ouch, it's counted, I want to die to your Aunt Yun and me, you don't know how boring I have been alone in the mountains all these years, every day except counting the passing geese and watching the sunset of the sea of clouds, there is nothing to do... ”

Xu Yuntian couldn't cry or laugh a little, his hands were restrained by the bear's hug, his feet were off the ground, and at this moment, there was no way to break free except for a few movements of his head, so he had to smile bitterly: "Aunt Yun, I'm hungry, you let me go first." ”

"Oh, look at my brain, it's hard to be old and old。。。。。。 Saying that, 'Aunt Yun' put Xu Yuntian on the ground again, and while continuing to babble about the trivial things that happened every day, she took him to the cabin.

Xu Yuntian had a chance to take a look.

The acquaintance with "Aunt Yun" started sixteen years ago, when he was only five years old, but he secretly rode a homemade large trap bird, wanting to go to Zhongzhou under the cliff of God to have a look, just because the fragrant pears in Zhongzhou are crispy and delicious, and Nanzhou is rare.

But the road between Nanzhou and Zhongzhou is only more than 27,000 miles away from Xiliang Kunlun in addition to the natural danger of the god cliff "Jiuwei Pass", and the rest of the place is more than a thousand zhang of cliffs, and there is no way to go.

But how did the young Xu Yuntian know this, it was just a bag of dry food, a few pieces of gold cakes on his body, and he jumped off the cliff with a trap bird.

The most famous of the god cliff is not the Qianzhang cliff, but because of the difference in the terrain of the two continents, the wind from the bottom of the valley, vertical for nine days, there is no lack of gravel and broken branches in the wind, if someone stands close to the next then I am afraid that I will end up with a broken bones.

Xu Yuntian only remembered that at that time, he jumped down on the trap bird, and then the sky was spinning, and the trap bird Ding Dang completely fell apart in a few clicks, and the cold wind poured into his ears, and he simply passed out.

When he woke up again, he was lying in the cabin on Lingyun Peak, Aunt Yun was holding a bowl of thick soup that smelled extremely sweet, and even coaxed him to drink it, which was so bitter that he almost vomited out his gall.

Aunt Yun is a woman who looks to be around forty years old, but her body is a little strong, strictly speaking, she is a little too lucky, I am afraid that it is not less than three hundred pounds, but when she walks, she does not have the form of one step and three shakes, but is extremely light, how many times has Xu Yuntian felt that there was a woman in front of him who had to float up as soon as the wind blew. If you look closely, you can see that Aunt Wan was also a beautiful woman when she was young, maybe she was at the top of this mountain, and she didn't care about the changes in her appearance and posture.

The only thing that puzzled Xu Yuntian was Aunt Wan's appearance, except for the occasional change in fat and thinness in the past sixteen years, it can be said that she has not shown any old age, and Master Xu can't help but wonder if this Aunt Yun has taken some legendary elixir that locks her old face.

immediately praised slightly: "Aunt Yun, I haven't seen you for three years, you seem to have become beautiful again." ”

"Haha, is it? Little Tianzi, your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter. ”

As if doing a trick, he took out a box of good 'Xiliang Carmine' and stuffed it into Aunt Yun's hand as if to invite merit, and said, "Oh, I brought it to you, I usually have to dress up myself, maybe when I go down the mountain, I will be taken by which handsome master." ”

"Okay, you little guy, is Aunt Yun only worthy of those old things that are half-footed in the ground?" Although Aunt Yun said this, her hand took the box of rouge powder without slowness, and did not forget to open Meimei and smell it.

The rhubarb on the side came over at this time, sniffed at Xu Gongzi's trouser leg, and then as if he had just recognized it, he wagged his tail and rubbed wildly on Xu Yuntian's trouser leg. But I didn't know that I bumped into Aunt Yun's heel in the friction, and when the owner was unhappy, he kicked the dog's buttocks, kicking it out several meters away.

Xu Yuntian glanced back for a moment, only to see that the rhubarb was running away and mingling with the donkey ball, and the donkey ball ignored it, only lowered his head and concentrated on dealing with the weeds on the ground.

Peach blossom paradise in the clouds, there are dogs, flowers and plants, vegetable gardens and wooden houses, Xu Yuntian doesn't understand very much, how can he not be bored if he goes on like this, he is a very cheesy person, without good wine and meat, and a beautiful girl is afraid that she will not be able to live for three days, not to mention that she will not know how to stay for decades.

Turning his head, Xu Yuntian whispered to Aunt Yun, who was still talking, "Aunt Yun, I want to learn martial arts." ”
