Chapter Twenty-Four: Parade in the Back Mountain
After the second-order trial, there are two days off, which is considered an unexpected benefit. www.biquge.info The first is to let the disciples rest and recuperate, and the other is to reminisce and comprehend the lessons learned in the trial, and summarize and improve.
Generally speaking, most people spend one day for enlightenment and one day for rest and relaxation.
Under the instigation of Lu Zixuan, the four people of Tianzijia No. 1 Courtyard decided to travel together to the beautiful scenery of Lingyun, Zhongnan Mountain is hundreds of miles around, Lingyun occupies half of Thailand, and the range is also very large, and there is no shortage of inaccessible places for thousands of years.
Lu Zixuan grew up here since childhood, and has already seen all the eight beautiful scenery, and wants to explore other places. After some persuasion, she went to the back mountain by her will.
The so-called back mountain, only relatively speaking, is in the north of Zhongnan Mountain. The north of the mountain and the south of the water are yin, and the place of the mountain yin is much weaker, and it is mixed with the power of yin and cold, which is not suitable for cultivation.
There are tens of thousands of years of relics of the dense forest, the depths do not see the sun all the year round, the miasma is thick, there are many snakes, insects and monsters infested, and there are often plots of land to erect forbidden stone tablets to prevent disciples and civilians from entering by mistake and causing casualties.
However, the magnificent beauty of the world is often far away and rarely reached. If it is big and open, the back mountain may not be as good as the eight views of Lingyun, but it is more amazing than the danger, and it is better.
Cruising the back mountains has become a common action for high-level disciples, and it can be regarded as another kind of trial. Moreover, there are many rare treasures in the deep mountains and old forests, and Lu Zixuan, who often encounters thousand-year-old ginseng, hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, and other exotic flowers and plants on the way, how could Lu Zixuan, who has heard of it since childhood, let go of such a good opportunity.
Although Fan Baimi repeatedly opposed, he still couldn't resist Zhang Dazhao, Lin Tianxue, who was gradually moved, yes, and Ling Yanzi who rushed to join in the fun.
Under the lonely palm, several people set off together.
Walking on the fallen leaves that are thick and do not see the ground, one foot deep and one foot shallow, it is difficult to walk.
It's a lot harder to walk than the training ground, and the scenery is very different.
There is no exquisite and graceful scenery, no atmosphere of swords, flowers and fireworks in the south of the Yangtze River, and no ethereal and distant and idle feeling. There were only towering giant trees, branches and leaves that covered the sky, clumps of vines on top of each other, bursts of thick and dense miasma, and indescribable strange screams.
However, at this time, Fan Baimi did not have the slightest fear, and there were layers of expectation in his heart. Adventure and search are also instinctive, and before there is a real threat, the sense of curiosity far prevails.
It is a primitive impulse, just as food is to wild beasts, and beauty is to young and strong.
As it goes deeper, the fallen leaves become deeper and deeper, drifting and rotting year after year, day after day, forming potholes of different sizes, which greatly slows down the progress efficiency.
The person who led the way, who had to watch carefully every step of the way, had already fallen into a hole full of stinking water more than once, and if it hadn't been for more than a year of practice, he would have been covered in mud instead of just dirty shoes and socks. Past pathfinding experience is not suitable here, a one-person tall branch pokes forward on hard ground, but when you step on it, it slowly falls, and then it overflows with muddy water. In just a few miles, it is already hard work.
A few people walked to a dry ground, and all of them sat down and gasped.
"White rice, it's not a way to go on like this, sooner or later you'll be covered in stinky mud, and I won't be able to hold you when I meet a big pit, or think of an individual way. "The Great Summons proposed.
"When we cross the swamp, we will use ropes to connect them, even if someone gets trapped, it is easy to rescue, just make a few ropes, and it is also convenient to be full of vines here. Ling Yanzi said.
"Vines, it occurred to me that since there are vines, we might as well learn from the monkeys, and it must be much faster to grasp the vines and swing them around than to carefully explore the way on the ground, as long as the first person pays attention to the selection of reliable thick vines. "Lu Zixuan is not a ghost, and he makes suggestions as soon as his eyes roll.
The other four look at me, I look at you, and they don't seem to have a better way, so they decide to give it a try. The heavy responsibility of opening the way fell on Ling Yanzi, after all, she was more familiar with this kind of terrain, Zhang Dazhao naturally wanted to be the queen of the palace, lest he fall and break the rope.
Ling Yanzi stood on a thick branch, carefully selected two vine ropes, pulled them a few times, selected the one he liked, and then squatted hard a few times to ensure that he was safe. Then he grabbed the vine and swung away, and with one breath he reached another tree a few feet away.
Fan Baimi followed, grabbed the rope that swung back, adjusted his breath slightly, kicked back under his feet, and flew out. The wind whistled in his ears, and the branches and leaves on both sides quickly retreated as if flying, and he couldn't help but scream loudly, and for a while, the hollow valley was silent, and it was all echoing over and over again.
Unconsciously, the group floated on the branches for about two sticks of incense. The foreground has changed, and it is no longer a dense forest that does not see the light of day, but a relatively sparse woodland, and not far away, there is a circle of barren land. The crowd was curious and stepped forward.
When I got closer, I realized that instead of an open space, there was a stone monument erected, which seemed to be for conspicuousness, and artificially removed a piece of vegetation.
"You see, there seem to be words on the stone tablet, it looks like, well, forbidden... Forbidden land, it's a forbidden land!" Ling Yanzi, who led the way, couldn't help but raise his voice.
I never thought that it was easy to cross a muddy wetland, and the first place where you could enjoy it was blocked by the forbidden stone monument.
"This luck doesn't seem to be very good. Da Zhao still looks happy.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, we just come out to see, there are good things that are naturally icing on the cake, even if we are empty-handed, we should have a trip. Fan Baimi said that he was relieved, in fact, he was telling Lu Zixuan that the little girl had complained that she shouldn't have brought everyone over since she appeared in the mud.
Continue to trek in the other direction, not too far, to a place with abundant water and grass. This place is much better than before, and the water and soil are clearly separated from each other, rather than mixed into a pool of mud. At first glance, the water is clear and prosperous, and it is more like a place far away from people.
Tall trees, low branches, green leaves, red flowers.
Layers stretch and intertwine with each other, contrast with each other, if there are three or two points of smoke, it is a calligraphy and painting pastoral with appropriate shades.
The flowers are vibrant, the grass is dense and vigorous, and it is also a place to produce treasures.
Where yin and yang are harmonized, rain and dew are suitable, and full of vitality, it must be a treasure land of feng shui. Absorb the essence of the sun and the moon and breathe out the treasures of the aura of heaven and earth, often born here. Although it is different from the peerless treasures on the cliffs, it is also rare in the world, and it is very beneficial to practice or strengthen the body.
"Hey, this is not Qitiancao, I remember Wang Feihong said it. This grass has a miraculous effect on stopping bleeding, and after drying and then concocting, it can seal the wound by sprinkling a little, and there is almost no scar, which is very rare!" Lu Zixuan, who likes to run around the most, found a large piece of medicinal herbs under a cluster of flowers, so he greeted a few people.
"It is indeed the holy medicine of trauma to stop bleeding, there are so many, I am afraid that Wang Feihong will be amazed when he sees it. Come, let's hurry up, hurry up and see if there are any other treasures, I'm looking forward to it even more. Zhang Dazhao was not ambiguous, and rolled up his sleeves first.
"Don't move, slow down! Look what it is!" Fan Baimi shouted, pointing to one place.
