Chapter 12 Xiantuo Mountain
Calm down and watch the surrounding scenery. It can be described as a wonderful place. The mountains and rocks on both sides are beautiful, the moonlight above is gentle, and the deep water below is also green and clear. The cold mountain wind is coming. There is not much ice and cold, but only more refreshing, lingering in my heart, making people feel relaxed unconsciously.
"Master, senior brother, look at it."
The ghost widow suddenly pointed at the air directly in front of her and shouted in surprise.
My master and I looked at it at the same time, and we were indeed shocked. We saw an upside-down rock between the cliffs on both sides, with a sharp head below, while the honest bottom was placed horizontally on both sides. In addition, a faint white breath lingered around the top of the mountain below, like a fairyland, beautiful.
The master hesitated for a moment and said, "Is that the Xiantuo Mountain we are looking for?"
I couldn't hide my excitement and touched around, staring at the huge rocks, and staring at the huge rocks, eight iron chains as thick as arms were dragging tightly. The height of the rocks was about fifty feet, and the length of those iron chains was only ten feet long. Not to mention how skillful these iron chains were built by a skilled craftsman, just how these iron chains were fixed to such an upside-down rock is a huge problem. If it weren't for the help of gods and ghosts, it would probably be a rare extraordinary person in the world.
Since we have seen something artificially built, it is not difficult to imagine that this upside-down rock must be the Xiantuo Mountain we are looking for.
Judging from the scenery in front of you, there seems to be a mist of fairy air below, and there are cliffs on both sides carrying it. Such a wonderful scene of ingenious craftsmanship is enough to be called the name of "Xiantuo Mountain".
But when he saw the scene in front of him, the master's face did not feel any joy, but became more serious.
I asked carefully: "Master, why are you...unhappy?"
The master glared at me angrily, pointed to the water flow in front and said, "Looking at the front, I'm afraid I won't be as happy as a teacher."
I just looked at the Xiantuo Mountain above, and forgot that we were still on the bamboo raft. We were currently going downstream. Following the master's instructions, I couldn't help but open my mouth and look at the sudden surging waves in front of me. If I were to be happy, I would really not be happy. If we go downstream like this, we might enter another underground river along this deep river. At that time, let alone Xiantuo Mountain or even the Xiantuo Pagoda, even the lives of us will be worrying...
Just as we were gradually approaching directly below Xiantuo Mountain, and it was also the place closer to the steep slope of the water flow, the master suddenly stared at the mountain wall beside him and said, "We only have one way to go now."
When I saw the "road" pointed by the master, my voice trembled slightly, "Master, should you, please... want us to climb this steep mountain wall,"
The master's expression did not change at all because of my question. He nodded lightly and said, "That's why we find a way to get close to the mountain wall and then climb up one by one. As long as we grasp the iron chain above, we have the hope of reaching the entrance of the Xiantuo Pagoda."
"Uh..." I floated on my legs. I had just experienced a difficult journey and was about to start a new adventure. The mountain wall was as steep as straight and 20 or 30 feet away from the huge iron chain in the air above. Maybe I had the chance to climb up, but this opportunity can only be once, and it is only once in my life.
The master's face turned solemn and said, "Why, I'm afraid when I encounter this difficulty. Didn't I even shout to kill into the ghost forest before? I've admitted my conscience now."
"I..." My old face turned red, I lowered my head silently and said, "Master, that was certain before, but now I am trying hard to go without returning. How can I compare it?"
The master snorted coldly: "Why not that much nonsense?"
“…”
I was speechless for a while, and I didn't expect that my master still had this bad temper and always talked the same thing. He turned around and threw a helpless look at the ghost widow, but the ghost widow laughed secretly.
turn out to be……
The master walked to the ghost kid, tied it to his back with a rope from the bamboo raft, and said, "I will walk on the ghost kid, you can do it yourself."
After saying that, the master jumped up. Although he was carrying someone on his back, he still soared into the air. He instantly grabbed two raised stones with both hands. I turned around and glanced at the surging waves that were about to face. I felt anxious and gritted my teeth. Just fight...
The bamboo raft was sharply tapped, and his whole body jumped up, just to the place where the master was leaving. He looked up at the backs of the master and the ghost kid. He was climbing up step by step. I smacked my lips and looked down at the bamboo raft that was floating away quickly. Soon, the bamboo raft was swept away by a ball of water. It appeared again and fell downstream.
I sighed softly, at this moment, the only way out was to follow my master to climb the cliff hundreds of feet...
The mountain wall is steep, and the place where I land is a little weak and often slips. As a last resort, I had to make sure that I was safe and then climbed up for a while. On the other hand, my master was shakingly climbing Lao Gao with his ghost kid on his back, and his steps were extremely steady.
I have to say that this is a very labor-consuming physical work. Soon, sweat broke out all over my body, and countless beads of bean sweat rolled down my cheeks on my forehead. I didn’t have time to wipe it, but I was afraid that I would fall into a dilemma of life and death if I was a little distracted. However, with the master leading the way in front, the way I took was relatively safer. However, the master was about to grab the iron chain above my head.
"I asked you to practice hard skills on your legs, but now I know the consequences of being lazy. Come on quickly."
The master's reproach voice was conveyed in time, and the ghost widow also smiled and said, "Senior Brother, hurry up."
"I know."
I gave the ghost baby a blank look and it was better to be injured. I could still be treated like this. If I had known this would happen, I would rather be the one who was sucked by the turtle in my blood, energy and essence. After following the master for a while, I learned to flatter, hum.
Finally, just as my strength was about to be exhausted, I finally saw the iron chains bound on Xiantuo Mountain approaching in front of me. I reached out to my hand enough, but I didn't expect that when my feet slipped, my whole body fell down suddenly...
"ah,."
It fell three or four feet at once. Fortunately, I grabbed a crack in the rock in time and struggled to stabilize it on the hillside. I took a look up. This time, I was a few more feet away from the iron chain.
I panted and wiped the sweat off my forehead with difficulty. I didn't know where the strength I got, so I moved up again, and my master and the others were less than two feet away from the top of the cliff...
I finally breathed a lot of relief when I grabbed the chain, and I stepped on the lock ring with both feet and climbed up again. However, this time it was much easier, and I could quickly recover my strength while climbing. After a while, just as my master walked up to the top of the cliff, I reached out and touched the edge of the cliff.
Just now standing on the top of the cliff, a ball of black gas surged like lightning. I quickly swung my sword and slashed, but the black gas seemed to have no concerns about the loss under the evil sword. From a distance, the black gas was so much that it could twist out water, but the source of the black gas was a bit strange.
It was not elsewhere, nor did it come from the ghost forest, but two evil stone statues emerged on both sides of the entrance of the Xiantuo Pagoda.
"The two stone statues are strange, let's hide first."
The master stared at the two stone statues and then ordered to hid in the forest quickly, then stopped behind a huge rock.
