Chapter 4 On the Road to Heaven
At this moment, noticing the subtle change in the young man's expression, he secretly laughed in his heart, "Let you be leisurely." ”
At this time, half an hour has passed since just now, half an hour ago, you can still see a figure on the mountain road in front, but now there is no half of a figure, the young man is already anxious, but someone next to him has a new question: "Young man, how old are you this year?"
The young man was absent-minded at the moment, how could he be in the mood to speak well, and replied casually: "Twenty-eight." ”
"What??" When everyone heard this, their surprise was self-evident, and their faces showed expressions of 'how is it possible'.
"Seeing that you are only fourteen or fifteen years old, how can you be twenty-eight? ”
The young man said with a bitter face: "Grandfathers, grandmothers, uncles, aunts, little brothers, little sisters, I am telling the truth. He secretly said in his heart, "How can I still be in the mood to joke with you, now that I have the heart to cry, what should I do? What should I do? If I don't hurry up, I really can't go up." ”
At this moment, the old man who was talking to the young man at the beginning finally saw the signs, slapped his head, and said: "Look at my memory, you all stop, stop!" As he spoke, he turned to look at the young man and said, "I patronized and chatted with you, and I almost forgot about the big thing, young man, thank you for not disliking us 'old, weak, sick and disabled', delaying you for so much time, you see, there is no one in front of you now." The old man pointed to the mountain road in front of him.
The young man was overjoyed, and said in his heart, "You finally remembered, I was about to cry!"
The old man continued: "I won't say much else, my old man, go, with our wishes, with our expectations, climb this 10,000-step ladder, and complete your goal!"
"With our wishes, with our expectations!" At this moment, the group of people became extremely serious and looked at the teenager!
The young man put away his hippie smile awe-inspiringly, showed a rare serious look, and said: "Don't worry, no matter how tired and hard the road ahead is, I will definitely fulfill everyone's entrustment, take everyone's ideals, and climb to the top of the mountain!"
Hearing the young man's firm answer, everyone smiled and said, "Let's go, one more minute of delay will be one minute less, don't worry about us, if we really move around, we will quit, go." ”
However, at this moment, the young man hesitated, and the old people saw the young man's intentions, and said with a smile: "We don't want to leave now, although this road to the sky is difficult to walk, but I'm afraid it's just like this once in a lifetime, so we have to go a little farther, and then look at the scenery that this fairy can see, hahahaha"
The young man's eyes were moist, although it was only a short time together, but looking at this group of people, I don't know why, there was an indescribable cordiality in my heart, like, sympathy, or fate? The young man didn't know, only knew that at this moment, his heart was a little reluctant, a little unbearable, although his heart was like this, the young man still smiled and said: "Grandparents, uncles and aunts, and little brothers and sisters, I'm leaving, you take care!" After speaking, he arched his hand, turned around and strode away.
"Wait, young man, this is all going to be separated, and we don't know your name yet?" asked the old man as he stretched out his hand to stop the young man.
The young man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "My name is Yuan Ruoyu, Yuan Tiangang's Yuan, Ruo's wise Ruo, and a fish's fish." ”
"Yuan Ruoyu ......" Everyone secretly kept this name in their hearts, and they believed that this name would definitely spread all over this world in the future, and no one would know it, and no one would know it!
In this way, the boy strode towards the top of the mountain, yes, it was running, the boy, that is, Yuan Ruoyu, he had already fallen too far behind, if he didn't hurry up and rush back the part of the road that he had begun to pull, then he would definitely not be able to reach the top of the mountain before sunset.
Just as the young man was hurrying towards the vanguard to catch up, the man in white in the air finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This kid has finally begun to speed up, but if he rushes like this, can his physical strength support him to the top of the mountain?" The man in white glanced deeply at the leading team, and couldn't help whispering: "I only wish that heaven will come to pass, and I don't want to be humane."
Back to the previous team, there was a team of five or six hundred people at the beginning, and now there are only more than a hundred people left, these people are not far from each other, and the speed is much slower, the higher the road, the thinner the air, and the more tired the people, in this case of mountaineering, the two legs are as heavy as pouring lead, and the more you go up the mountain, the narrower and steeper the road, it can be said that the steps are frightening and difficult!
The queue that followed was also getting longer and longer, and it was getting slower and slower, and within the hour that Yuan Ruoyu and the last group of people were chatting, nearly two thousand people had been eliminated in front, and as time went by, this number was still slowly increasing, and I believe that it would not be long before more people gave up...... At this moment, they finally realized what it means to "climb the ladder with 10,000 steps, and it is difficult to walk step by step." ”
The man in white looked at the longer and longer line, looked at the increasingly sparse crowd, and said lightly: "Even if you have the heart to seek the Tao, if you don't have unwavering faith, you are a mortal after all, and everything has just begun." ”
Yuan Ruoyu controlled his breathing and ran towards the mountain quickly, and it didn't take long for him to see the figure on the mountain road ahead, Yuan Ruoyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Whew...... Finally saw people. "Hold for a moment, pick up your pace again and run forward!
"Huh, someone is catching up behind! Strange, how can this kid run so fast???" This person walked at the back of the crowd, already exhausted and tired, plus the team in front of him had gone farther and farther, and was immediately discouraged, he was going to sit down and rest for a while, and then continue to hurry, but as soon as he turned around, he saw a person below at some point, and he was chasing at a very fast speed! This person is also a strong temper, and when he saw that someone was catching up, he was not convinced, so he dragged his tired body and walked up step by step.
After a while, Yuan Ruoyu caught up with this person, he didn't speak, and continued to walk up quickly.
"Hey, why are you like you've been beaten with chicken blood, aren't you tired from traveling so much? Hey, wait."
Yuan Ruoyu stopped, looked back at the person who spoke, and said, "Have you run out of chicken blood?"
The man rolled his eyes and said, "You're only chicken blood, mine is human blood." As he spoke, he walked towards Yuan Ruoyu.
Yuan Ruoyu tilted his head to look at this person, smiled, then looked around, looked at the mountain, thought about it, and sat on the stone steps.
The man walked up to Yuan Ruoyu, sat on the ground, gasped and said, "I said brother, why did you go there at the beginning, why didn't you come up until now?"
"How do you know I just came up?" asked Yuan Ruoyu suspiciously.
The man said, "Aren't you talking nonsense? I've always been the last one in this group, and every time I look down, I don't see anyone, and when I turn around, I see you running in a hurry, and the fool knows that you're not in our team at first? But then again, how did you catch up? You know, we're not a little bit apart?"
Yuan Ruoyu smiled and said, "I just shot chicken blood at the bottom of the mountain!"
The man gave Yuan Ruoyu a roll of his eyes and said, "The ghost only believes you, don't say it." ”
Yuan Ruoyu said: "Okay, okay, in fact, it's nothing, at the beginning I was chatting with a group of friends, chatting and chatting and forgetting the time, and when I remembered it, I found that you had gone far, so I hurried to catch up, as for why I was able to catch up, because...... In fact...... I used to be a Taoist priest!" After speaking, he showed an expression that he thought was extremely serious.
The man's face was full of surprise at first, and he said in his heart, "There is still such a person who is not afraid of death?" When he heard him say that he was a Taoist priest, he rolled his eyes again, and said: "I said brother, can you be serious and not blind, look at your beautiful appearance, how can you be a Taoist priest? Besides, even if you are a Taoist priest, you can't chase so far in one breath."
Yuan Ruoyu said: "I'm very serious, okay, besides, I didn't catch up in one go, it was a lot of breath, and it almost exhausted me to death." ”
After listening to Yuan Ruoyu's words, the man looked extremely helpless and said, "Okay, okay, you are very serious, very serious, my name is Yu Xinyang, what is your name?"
"My name is Yuan Ruoyu, by the way, why are you still here? How many people are there in front?" Yuan Ruoyu said.
Yu Xinyang said helplessly: "Do you think I want to, those people are like you taking medicine, running fast, I chased desperately, chasing, or falling behind, hey, it seems that I have no hope." You'd better go quickly, seeing you like this, with so much energy, maybe you can really catch up with the people in front. After saying that, he sighed and lowered his head.
However, after waiting for a while, I didn't see Yuan Ruoyu reply, as soon as he looked up, he saw a pair of eyes staring directly at him, startled, and said: "Damn! What do you think I'm doing? It's not any attempt on me, tell you, I don't have that hobby, the heavenly immortals are watching" After speaking, he quickly tightened the clothes on his chest with both hands, as if to prevent flower thieves.
Yuan Ruoyu was extremely speechless, and said: "You are so shameless, where do you want to go, I am that kind of person, I see you very pleasing to the eye, so I want to make you a friend, how can I become a wrong thought of you? In this case, I will leave!" After speaking, he got up and prepared to leave.
As soon as Yu Xinyang heard that he had misunderstood, he hurriedly grabbed Yuan Ruoyu and said apologetically: "I was wrong, I was wrong, hehe, I'm also joking, in fact, I think you are quite pleasing to the eye, even if you don't make me a friend, I will make you a friend." ”
Yuan Ruoyu turned around and sat down, and said with a smile: "Okay, seeing that you are so sincere, I will forgive you, by the way, how old are you?"
Yu Xinyang said: "It must be older than you, seeing that you are so tender, you are not much older, I am twenty-eight, what about you?"
When Yuan Ruoyu heard this, he was suddenly surprised and said, "I'm also twenty-eight."
Yu Xinyang said: "Really fake?
Yuan Ruoyu said: "Of course it's true, can this kind of thing be fake?
Yu Xinyang said: "The first day of the first month of March!"
At this time, Yuan Ruoyu actually laughed, Yu Xinyang didn't know what he was laughing at, and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Yuan Ruoyu smiled and said: "I'm also on the first day of the first month of March!! No wonder I saw you so pleasing to the eye at first, I didn't expect that we were born on the same day, the same month, the same year! What a surprise." ”
Yu Xinyang was obviously overjoyed, and said with a smile: "This is too coincidental, I can't believe it!"
Yuan Ruoyu said: "Yes, I was also surprised, I didn't expect that there was a friend born here in the same year, the same month and the same day as me, and what is even more rare is that we are so close to each other." ”
The two looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly laughed loudly at the same time, after a long time, the two calmed down, Yu Xinyang said: "Brother, I can see you here today, I am also worthy of this trip, you go quickly, don't be dragged down by me, if you lose this fairy fate, I am afraid that there will never be such a good opportunity in the future." ”
Yuan Ruoyu looked at Yu Xinyang and said, "I said, don't you want to pass this test and enter the Immortal Gate to cultivate?"
Yu Xinyang smiled helplessly and said: "How can I not want to, but I know my own situation, I will definitely not be able to pass this test, but brother, you are different, you have such a good foundation, you will definitely pass the test!" ”
Yuan Ruoyu listened to Yu Xinyang's words, smiled, and said, "Then what if I have a way to help you?"
Yu Xinyang was shocked for a moment, but then shook his head and said, "Don't comfort me, how could you help me with the test set by the immortals?"
Yuan Ruoyu said, "You wait here for me for a while." After speaking, he ran towards the left side of the stone steps without looking back, and in a blink of an eye, he was submerged in the mountain forest.
Before Yu Xinyang could stop him, he disappeared Yuan Ruoyu, and he could only wait helplessly in place, waiting for a while, but he didn't come out, and he was suddenly worried, and said secretly: "Brother, nothing will happen, no, I have to go to him!" got up and prepared to walk towards the mountains and forests.
At this moment, there was finally a sound in the mountains, and Yuan Ruoyu came out of it, with two green vine gourds hanging around his neck, and a bunch of fruits in his hands with big leaves!
Yu Xinyang was overjoyed and said, "Brother, you are back, if you don't come out again, I will go in to find you, by the way, how did you find these fruits?"
Yuan Ruoyu put down the fruit and gourd, and said: "When I went up the mountain, I observed it, and found that there is a waterfall in the mountain forest on the left, so there must be water on the mountain here, and now there is just fruit in this season, since this mountain is where the gods live, there must be mountain fruits, so I went to find it and try it, sure enough, there really is, hehe, you eat quickly, after walking such a long mountain road, and there is no food or drink, you must be hungry and thirsty." This gourd is filled with mountain spring water, I drank it and tried it, but it was sweet, you can taste it quickly. After speaking, he handed the gourd to Yu Xinyang.
Yu Xinyang took the gourd, didn't say much, drank it in a big gulp, Yuan Ruoyu smiled when he saw it, Yuan Ruoyu picked up the fruit and ate it unhurriedly.
Yu Xinyang drank more than half of it in one go, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Happy!" Then he also ate the fruit, and after a while, the fruit was finished.
The two of them lay on the ground and rested for a while, Yuan Ruoyu said with a smile: "How about it?
Yu Xinyang said: "Don't retreat, I'm full of strength now, go, brother, let's catch up with the people in front!"
Yuan Ruoyu smiled, and didn't say much, the two of them were arrogant, and quickly chased after the people in front of them! It is strange to say, after resting for such a while, the energy of the two of them was surprisingly strong, and they walked quickly on this difficult mountain road, but they didn't feel tired, which made the two of them very happy in their hearts. He ran wildly all the way, and soon overtook the group of people who were left behind, and continued to walk upward.
"These two people are blessed by misfortune, there is no problem to go up the mountain, Yuan Ruoyu, Yu Xinyang, hehe, two stupid boys. "The person who spoke was the head of the Yunshan faction, that is, the man in white, and every move of the people who participated in the test was all in his eyes, and Yuan Ruoyu and Yu Xinyang were naturally no exception.
It turns out that this Jiugong Mountain is full of spiritual energy, although the air on the mountain road is thin, but these plants and trees on the mountain are nourished by the spiritual energy day and night, plus the moisturization of the heavenly water spiritual spring liquid flowing down from the mountain, the fruits that bear fruit, although they are not as authentic as the immortal fruits, but they are not comparable to the ordinary fruits in the mortal world.
What's more, the two of them also directly drank the Tianshui Spiritual Spring Liquid, although the spiritual energy in this Spiritual Spring Liquid has already been diluted a lot, but the physique of the two has been greatly improved because of this, and walking on this mountain road will naturally be much easier. However, all this, the parties are still ignorant.
