Qingping led Niu Hao through a large field, and a forest appeared in front of him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The woods are dense, and a wall stretches in front of you.

But it's not a tall and straight tree.

Dense woods, all shrubs more than two people high. Niu Hao wasn't sure if it was wicker, or something else. Branches as thick as little fingers sprout from the roots, in large clumps. Lots of greenery.

Under the large bushes, thorns are entwined.

Thorny branches, which look soft. Climbing on the branches, entwined with each other. There is no gap left in the dense turns.

If you want to pass through the middle, you can't help but carve a path with a hatchet.

Niu Hao was in the bamboo basket on his back, except for the lunch for two people, there was only a bundle of big ropes, and there was no firewood knife.

Niu Hao stretched out his hand to grab a thorny branch and tear it off, but was held down by Qingping.

Qingping picked up a dead branch from the ground, hooked the thorny branch in front of him and pulled it.

The thorny branches, as if suddenly awakened, rolled the slender branches and entangled the dead branches that Qingping poked out.

The nearby branches, like beasts that smelled blood, swayed their delicate young leaves and swooped up, wrapped around the dead branch and pulled in their direction.

The seemingly weak branches are fiercely revealed in an instant. From under the petiole where the young leaves grew, inch-long spikes poked out, like steel needles, piercing the dead branch.

If there were flesh and blood on the dead branches, they must have been drenched in blood by this time.

This thing, it's so vicious!

Niu Hao was dumbfounded.

Qingping said to Niu Hao:

"This is the baby vine. The spikes are venomous, bleeding from the stabbing and then becoming red and swollen. The only cure for ...... ”

When Qingping said this, he suddenly lowered his voice and said to Niu Hao in a very small voice:

"Own urine flushing. ”

Niu Hao looked at Qingping, and Qingping nodded at Niu Hao with certainty.

Turning his head to look at the thorn bushes in front of him, Qingping said again:

"From here, two miles away, is the territory of the baby vine. They are actually the magic barriers that protect the borders of Kongming Mountain. People don't dare to trespass. ”

Qingping said, patted Niu Hao, and said:

"Follow me. ”

Then, the two hands were folded together, and the hand shape of the spell was pinched, and the incantation was recited with words in the mouth. Raise your feet and walk forward.

The dense infant vines, which did not leave the slightest gap, swayed their branches and retreated to the sides as Qingping stepped forward, making way for a narrow path.

It turns out that you need the key to open the door to pass through!

Niu Hao didn't dare to slack off, and followed closely behind Qingping.

The branches of the infant vine that retreated to both sides were densely woven together again as the two people walked by, becoming an insurmountable barrier.

The use of baby vines as a barrier, of course, is to prevent someone from sneaking across the border.

But didn't Qingping say that Kongming Mountain is in the sky?

Kongming Mountain is in the sky, how can anyone sneak across the border?

No matter how great a person's ability is, it is impossible to go to heaven.

What is the purpose of planting baby vines?

Niu Hao didn't suspect that Qingping was bragging to him.

Niu Hao just didn't want to believe that there was really no path on Kongming Mountain where he could go down the mountain privately.

Qingping, who was walking in front, suddenly pouted at Niu Hao, and pointed to the direction on the left to signal Niu Hao to take a look.

On the left, far away, a person can be seen in the vine bushes.

It was actually a dried corpse. Stuck in the depths of the baby vines, I don't know how long it has been.

One of the guy's arms poked out desperately, his shriveled face tinged with pain and horror. The gaping mouth seemed to be wailing in pain until death.

Niu Hao couldn't imagine what kind of pain that guy had experienced.

The limbs of the body are tightly entwined with the branches of the infant vine. Inch-long spikes pierced into his flesh, even though his body had long since dried up.

Niu Hao followed closely behind Qingping, staring at the corpse.

Unexpectedly, there are really people who dare to smuggle into Kongming Mountain.

It's just that these guys don't know that there is a strict hierarchy on Kongming Mountain. Even if you come to the mountain, you can't enter the Futian Lower Courtyard and be a student of the lower courtyard, so you won't have a chance to be favored by the tutor of the Taoist Academy.

Without the guidance of famous teachers, how can you cultivate Taoism and learn immortals?

Passing through the sidewall-like bushes, suddenly there was a sudden light in front of me.

At the foot is a cliff, more than 10,000 feet high. The steep cliffs stretch out on both sides, making you feel as if you are standing on top of a straight city wall.

Qingping took out a big rope from the bamboo basket, tied one end to a raised rock not far away, and then summoned Niu Hao, holding the big rope in his hand like him, and drooped down along the edge of the cliff.

"You can only believe that we are in heaven if you see it with your own eyes. ”

Qingping said, grasping the big rope with both hands, and slid down the cliff neatly. With his dexterous skills, he can't tell that he is a fat man with a whole body of flesh.

Niu Hao learned to be peaceful, grabbed the big rope with both hands, and slowly slid down the cliff.

A strong mountain breeze blows along the steep cliffs. picked up the Taoist clothes on Niu Hao's body, and bragged that Niu Hao swayed back and forth.

Niu Hao clenched the rope in his hand, really worried that he would fall down and fall into the bottomless cliff if he missed.

Qingping's voice came from below:

"Don't be afraid, go any further down to the end. ”

In the end?

It's only a few feet away, how can it be to the end.

I just stood on the top of the cliff and looked down, but I couldn't see the bottom.

Qingping pulled the rope that was swayed by the mountain wind and helped Niu Hao slide down.

Kiyohei is talking about it in the end, it is a platform jutting out of the cliff. The narrow platform can barely accommodate three people, and they have to keep their backs against the stone wall to prevent themselves from being accidentally swept away by the mountain wind.

Qingping pulled the big rope in one hand, leaned out, pointed to the bottom of the cliff and said:

"Where do you see that?"

Niu Hao looked up at the big rope hanging down, and grabbed it with one hand. Leaning out of the body in a calm manner.

The direction of Qingping's finger, under the bottomless cliff, is......

Niu Hao turned his head to look at Qingping and widened his eyes.

Qingping looked at Niu Hao with a smile, with a look of "you believe it now".

In the midst of the clouds, it was barely possible to make out that there was a boxy outline on the ground, just below the slope of the cliff.

Because there is no sun, Niu Hao can't judge the specific direction. But by feeling, it should be in the south.

Niu Hao opened his mouth and tried to say the name several times. It's already on the lips, but I just don't want to blurt it out.

Qingping turned his head, with an obvious look of overlooking all living beings, and said lightly:

"That's Qingyang City. ”

Niu Hao actually guessed it, and almost said it.

But when he heard Qingping say the words "Qingyang City", he couldn't help but say:

"How is this possible!"
