Chapter 10: Rainstorm Mountain
"Brother Lu, come over and take a look, we should enter the Rainstorm Mountain immediately, this is a mountain of our collective action, can you see what a good way to do it?" So Shao Hui first asked for his opinion.
"Brother Qian, didn't your father tell you about your second uncle, I seem to remember that you said that your second uncle and they successfully passed the Rainstorm Mountain, you can tell me in detail!" Lu Tong did not answer Shao Hui's words but asked the cash cabinet.
"My father told me about the second uncle, and the second uncle did pass through the rainstorm mountain, but he didn't say anything, just said that it was raining heavily in the rainstorm mountain, and they could only hurry when the rain stopped, and finally they were tired and half dead before they finally passed. Nothing else was said. The cash drawer said to the crowd.
"It seems that there should be no danger in this rainstorm mountain except for the bad weather and heavy rain. Let's each prepare a straw hat to protect ourselves from the rain, try not to waste time, and hurry up! The nineteenth day will be over soon. Shao Hui listened to the cash cabinet and turned to everyone.
Just as everyone was preparing straw hats and other rain gear, Lu Tong took out a red pill that he didn't know how many times he had read, and swallowed it with a of his neck. Although he consciously saved food, he had also run out of food since yesterday, and he insisted on not taking this red pill, until today, he calculated carefully, and there were only eleven days left. Only by eating this red pill could he have enough strength to pass through the two mountains of Zuihou, so he swallowed it without thinking. Everyone looked at him, their eyes full of envy. They had all taken the red pill a day or two before.
The red pill melted in his mouth, and Lu Tong felt a spicy warm current spread throughout his body from top to bottom. The whole body is full of spirit and strength.
"The immortal's pill is different! this is much better than the snake gall snake meat I ate a few days ago. The most important thing is that this pill can last for ten days without eating! It seems that the immortals should still have a lot of good things, immortals...... Immortal ......" Lu Tong was thinking for a while.
"Brother Lu, your straw hat. Let's go. Xu Shizhu handed over a straw hat and interrupted Lu Tong's train of thought.
"Xiexie, Xiexie Brother Xu. ”
"Look at you, what is this! compared to ......"
"Okay, okay, Brother Xu, I know what you're going to say again, don't say it, it's the past, let's go quickly!" Lu Tong said with a slight smile.
Everyone began a new journey.
This rainstorm mountain is really a mountain as its name, since the moment Lu Tong they entered the mountain, the rain has been falling more and more, there is no hope of stopping, they want to find a place to shelter from the rain and then hurry, but in the huge mountain except for a huge piece of strange rocks and not even a big tree. They all stayed in the rain like chickens in soup, and they had to keep hurrying, which was really bitter and bitter.
"Damn, what kind of mountain is this? It's clearly a muddy meadow. Xu Shizhu finally couldn't help but scold.
"Crackling. With this sound, everyone looked up at the sky.
"Why, this rainstorm mountain will also eliminate people?" asked the cash cabinet with a confused expression.
"Maybe someone can't stand the weather anymore. Shao Hui said coldly.
"I think we'd better be careful, I always feel like there's something wrong here. Guo Yang suddenly said. As soon as he entered this rainstorm mountain, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything, just like when Wen Hui felt the wind before others.
"Anyway, we'd better be careful. Let's go!" The crowd continued to move forward in the face of the heavy rain.
After walking a short distance, the heavy rain stopped suddenly.
"The rain stopped, the rain stopped. Wen Hui said happily. She was soaking wet, her rain-soaked clothes clinging to her body. At this time, it can be seen that her figure is concave and convex, the water chestnut is distinct, and a few strands of black hair on her pale face are clinging to her cheeks, black and white correspondingly, she is definitely a beauty embryo. Everyone looked at her in unison. Wen Hui, who was looking directly, lowered her head with a red face, and unconsciously crossed her hands on her chest.
"What's there to see. Wen Hui saw that everyone was still looking at her, and said angrily.
"Hehe, I can't see it, Wen Mei is still a beauty, beautiful. The cash box said with a smile.
Seeing Wen Hui like this, Lu Tong was also stunned, he was much more beautiful than Erya. But he didn't have the mood to laugh at the cash cabinet, after a little look, Lu Tong looked at the pools of small water around him, just as Guo Yang said, he also felt that there was something wrong with this place, but he just couldn't tell what was wrong. You can only be careful, be careful, and be careful.
"Okay, okay, while the rain stops, let's have a good rest. Seeing that Wen Hui's face gradually deteriorated, Shao Hui hurriedly diverted the topic.
Everyone had to wring the wet clothes and find a random stone to sit down and rest for a while.
"Brother Lu, you guys take a rest first, and I'll go over there for convenience. Shao Hui said in the direction of Lu Tong, stepping on small water pools one by one, and walked quickly to the back of a big rock.
"Okay, be careful. Lu Tong agreed casually, and then lowered his head and slowly twisted up his clothes.
"No, save me. Suddenly, Shao Hui shouted loudly.
Everyone looked up in the direction of Shao Hui in shock, only to see that his legs had fallen into a quagmire and could not be pulled out, and he was slowly falling. Shao Hui struggled desperately, but to no avail, he couldn't pull out his legs at all.
"Don't struggle, the more you struggle, the faster you fall. Lu Tong hurriedly shouted.
"Don't go over, you might get stuck in it. Seeing Xu Shizhu, he was about to reach out to pull Shao Hui.
Hearing him say this, Shao Hui could only stand there without moving. Xu Shizhu unconsciously took two steps back.
"What should I do, hurry up and think of a way?" Seeing that Shao Hui's body was still slowly sinking, the cash cabinet said eagerly.
"Take off your clothes, knot them into a rope, and pull Brother Shao out. Lu Tong said as he took off his shirt.
When the others saw him like this, they also began to take off their shirts.
"When is it, you get out of it! The next time you fall into it may be you. Seeing Guo Yang grinding, Lu Tong said loudly with a little disdain.
When Guo Yang heard him say this, his face sank, but he quickly took it off.
Everyone picked up the four shirts and threw them to Shao Hui, who had sunk to his thighs.
"Brother Shao, grab it, don't force your legs, let's pull together." One or two...... Three, pull ......" Lu Tong shouted to Shao Hui and turned to the others.
With the shouts of "one, two, three......", I saw four shirtless children pulling the rope made of clothes. But no matter how hard the four of them worked, they could only keep Shao Hui from falling, but they couldn't pull it out at all.
"Quick, hard, let's pull together!" When everyone was helpless, they heard a crisp shout.
saw Wen Hui grab the head of the rope made of clothes and pull it up hard.
Wen Hui was still a little blushing at the beginning when she saw the four shirtless boys, but when she saw them, she was almost successful. I can't care about it so much. Shouting, he grabbed the rope and pulled it up.
"Sister Wen, it's good. Lu Tong applauded. At this time, they really need Wen Hui's help.
In this way, everyone worked hard together, dragged outward, and after a long day's effort, they finally pulled Shao Hui out of the quagmire.
"I'm exhausted. As soon as Shao Hui was dragged out, the cash cabinet leaned back regardless of the muddy water and lay down.
"Crackle, crackle, crackle. Three arrows rang out in the air. Startled, the cash cabinet was clever and sat up.
"Three more people gave up, and I said, is there any danger here except for the rain? Guo Yang said without yin or yang.
"Xiexie brothers and sisters, if it weren't for you, I would have to quit. Xiexie Lu Brothers. Shao Hui climbed out of the quagmire and hurriedly thanked everyone, especially Lu Tong.
"No thanks, I may be the one who falls into it next time. Lu Tong gasped and replied.
"Brother Lu, how do you know how to deal with this kind of quagmire, do you see if there is any way to avoid such a thing from happening again?" asked Shao Hui as he washed his mud-stained pants with water.
"My partner and I sometimes go to the lotus pond in the village to pick lotus seeds, and when we encounter dry water, we will inevitably sink into it, which is similar to this situation. Lu Tong replied.
"That's right, why didn't I think of it? Brother Lu is just amazing. Xu Shizhu slapped his thigh with his hand and gave a thumbs up.
"There's nothing you can do about this situation, you can only be careful and careful. Lu Tong looked into the distance and continued: "This rainstorm mountain is said to be a mountain, but it is actually similar to a quagmire swamp, look at the arrows rising in front, many people have been eliminated, and it is even more dangerous here than the snake and mouse mountain." Only a few of us can work together and twist into a rope to pass through, and sometimes we can't do it without one. When he said this, he looked at Guo Yang. I saw Guo Yang turning his head to look in other directions with a gloomy face.
Shao Hui clenched his fists and didn't say anything in the end.
"Alright, let's put on our clothes, let's go quickly, everyone be careful. Lu Tong looked into the distance with a melancholy expression and said casually. Everyone didn't know what the little brother was thinking. They admired him from the bottom of their hearts, if it weren't for him, someone would have been eliminated.
At this time, Lu Tong's psychology was also not calm, it seemed that this "immortal apprentice" was not so simple, definitely not as simple as the red-faced old man said. If it weren't for Wen Hui, Shao Hui wouldn't be able to come out this time, and he was talking to the master on the high platform, the fewer people there were, the more difficult it would be to pass. But thinking about the reward of a thousand taels of silver, Lu Tong's eyes showed a determined look. He has long understood the truth that "people die for money, and birds die for food". But he understands better the truth that life is the origin of everything. Life is lost, and everything is nothing. Although he had been mentally prepared for all the hardships and dangers in this expedition, he was also afraid and thought of retreating when danger came again and again. But when he thought of his parents who had no worries about food and clothing in the second half of their lives, and when he thought of the expectant eyes of his parents, he felt that these were worth his life. In the face of difficulties, he can only deal with them with the spirit of 12 points. As for becoming an immortal, it was still unknown to him. But as long as you pass this assessment, it is not a dream to become an immortal.
"Immortals, what about immortals? I'd like to see what the immortals' shijie is like. Lu Tong secretly made up his mind.
Soon after everyone left, Zhong Yunhai appeared.
"What is this kid thinking?" especially when he saw Lu Tong's eyes shining in the distance. I can't help but ask such questions. Deep down, I was full of curiosity about this child. It seems that I can't wait to see how he performs next.
"Hey. Zhong Yunhai sighed, it seemed that his state of mind cultivation had indeed not yet reached a higher level. There are not a few children like Lu Tong in the Qingquan Sect, so why bother? He smiled bitterly, and then disappeared from the spot.
In the following journey, Lu Tong and them were also in danger several times, and the money cabinet, Guo Yang and even himself had fallen into the quagmire, but fortunately, everyone understood the principle of unity at this time. One person was in distress, and several other people vigorously rescued her, and even Wen Hui, who was covered in mud, never gave up lightly, making them wonder if she was a girl. In the face of everyone's doubts, perhaps only Wen Hui herself only knows the motivation to persist until now.
The arrows that rang in the sky from time to time constantly reminded them of the seriousness of this test, but the persistent dreams in everyone's hearts did not make them give up on themselves, and they kept persevering, and the drifting rain had already numbed them, and they were not afraid of the quagmire that appeared from time to time. They walked forward step by step, exhausted, Lu Tong fell down several times, but every time he struggled, gritted his teeth and stood up, and continued to hurry, Xu Shizhu wanted to come over to help him several times but he refused, seeing Lu Tong like this, the money cabinet was constantly inspiring himself in his heart to never lie down, everyone was very tired, but everyone was full of respect for this brother, respecting his fearless courage, indomitable perseverance, endless wisdom, Tarzan's unmoved patience and excellent team cohesion.
And so they finally collapsed at the foot of a mountain in Zuihou on the twenty-sixth day, and everyone fell asleep from exhaustion. Until the next morning, the harsh sun woke them up.
