Those years of farming in the mountains

Considering the various dilapidated small Taoist temples in the countryside that I saw when I traveled, it has been exposed to wind and rain for a long time, and it is extremely dilapidated.In particular, there are many insects and snakes on the mountain, and if it has not been popular for a long time, it is uncertain what it will look like.So Jiang Qin'an and Yue Haiping contacted the famous carpenter in the city before they set out on the road.

"Ask about the price and construction period first. By then, Daoyou Chen still wants to live on the mountain for a long time, and then let them go up to clean up and repair it."

Yue Haiping nodded, but added: "Do you want to put the accounts on credit first?"

"Let's wait for Chen Daoyou to come back. If it's Yunyou's first return, I don't think there is much money left, and Haiyun Temple will pay in advance."

Even if you don't mention the other party's second-rate dragon and tiger martial arts, but the profound Taoism and the relationship with the two of them, they have no objection to paying a little money for repairs.

The two packed up and went out of the city. As soon as they arrived on the road, they saw a lot of pedestrians on the official road. Most of them were rangers carrying weapons and caravans with billowing smoke and dust.

Jiang Qin'an and Yue Haiping looked at each other, and stepped slightly faster.

……

When the two reached the foot of the mountain, they realized that the place was crowded with people. The forest at the foot of the mountain had been flattened, and there were beds of tents in sight. There were carriages parked on the edge, and pedestrians chatted with each other, and there was a lot of people's voices.

If you look closely, you can even see a few vendors selling candy and snacks pushing wooden wheeled carts, weaving back and forth among the crowd.

"There are many warriors."

Jiang Qin'an judged that at first glance, he saw more than a dozen Lianjiazi, with thick arms, powerful palms, and clothes that did not cover up much, revealing the identity of their origins.

Of course, more people are hiding in the dark, traffickers and pawns are full of vision, it is hard to tell how many people are in front of you at this moment with superb skills and how many complicated thoughts.

Yue Haiping stepped forward, holding a three-foot green sword in his hand, before he was out of its sheath, he took down four pickpockets in just a few tens of steps, and kicked down the rough man with evil intentions written all over his face in front of him with one leg. Don't look, go straight to the mountains.

Jiang Qin'an followed behind, he had already expected the temperament of his senior brother. After all, he had been out for several years, had beaten people, seen blood, and was raped, so he didn't feel that the other party's methods were inappropriate.There are mixed fish and dragons here, and the characters are different in color. If you give up, you will lose your heart and be regarded as weak and deceitful. It is time to cut the mess quickly.

Daoist Jiang passed the gritty man who was screaming for pain, and quickly stepped over.

The two people are on the mountain, and the mountain road is full of people.

In the woods and on the rock walls, there are too many rummaging for elixir and treasures, and there are also a few caves in the stone caves, which are occupied by big families and Jianghu sects, and have planted flags.

But when they walked up a hundred steps, most of them were lost, and at the same time, their feet were wet, and the rock walls on both sides were raised and hung high, which was scary to see.

"It's strange, Pindao is not afraid of heights, no matter what, he feels that his feet are weak when he looks at a place of tens of feet."

"Brother, be careful where you step." Jiang Qin'an looked to both sides while talking, obviously the soles of his feet landed on the mountain path easily and smoothly, but his heart felt cold, and his tailbone felt a chill.

"This road... is so steep."

Is it steep?Listening to the intermittent words blown by the whistling wind, Jiang Qin'an instinctively felt a little strange, and remembered that the road before was not like this.

At this time, a thought came to him, and he expressed his thoughts. Perhaps it was the result of no one walking for a year. The grass was as tall as a person, and against the background, the mountains on both sides of the strait naturally appeared majestic and steep.

Both feet exerted force, and the energy vibrated in the legs, finally calmed down a bit, and the inexplicable sense of danger was slightly relieved.

Looking up, the mountain road is winding, less than halfway through.

"Why don't you come back in the afternoon?"

Just when a wave of retreat lingered in his mind, Yue Haiping had already opened his mouth, and saw this martial artist who was fighting with dragons and tigers use his cuffs to wipe away the seemingly invisible beads of sweat.

tired face.

"It's too high and the road is too slippery. For a long time to come, there will be rocks scattered everywhere on this mountain. If you step on it and don't pay attention, you will fall."

The voice was heard, and Jiang Qinan, who didn't feel tired at first, felt numbness in his legs and feet. Yue Haiping continued, saying that he didn't see any traces of celestial medicines and treasures along the way. Presumably the dense fog before was just caused by the sky, an accident.

The fog has just cleared, and it will be easier to wait for the water vapor to dry before going up the mountain in the past two days.

The two of them were talking, and at first they walked slowly, but gradually they felt more and more sore and weak. It was extremely difficult to walk on the apparently gentle slope.

A dim light flickered, floating beside the two of them.

They didn't realize it was intentional, and thoughts kept pouring out of their minds, making people feel withdrawn.

After a while, they finally stopped to rest. There were several people resting not far from the mountain road, and they listened closer. It turned out that most of them were old hunters, and some came from other counties, wanting to collect immortal medicines and fight for wealth.

They are complaining at the moment, or say that the forest is deep and steep, or that they are kicking stones, or that their feet are sharply cut.

The more they listened, Jiang Qin'an and Yue Haiping also felt that this was indeed the case, and they all began to agree with each other, making the idea of ​​"mountain climbing" in Deshensi more dilute.

"Come back in two days! Even if you really pick the elixir from the mountain at this time, you will definitely be besieged and attacked after you go down the mountain, and you need to make a plan before you move."

Someone started, it was a martial artist, carrying an epee like a door panel, he had reached the level of viscera training, and he walked like a dragon and a tiger with great momentum.Right now, it seemed that Bai Bai was a little more cautious, so he stopped here and was the first to turn around.

The rest of the people looked at each other, maybe they were calm in this mountain forest with their own strength, maybe they relied on their ability to find medicine, they boasted that they could come and go freely, or maybe they were worried about other people down the mountain.They all feel that there is no need to fight for this moment.

So they left one after another, and the side gradually became quiet.

"..."

They just leave?
Jiang Qin'an frowned, followed Yue Haiping to rest for a while and then got up to continue.

One step, two steps, three steps...

"Did you bring the kettle?"

"Bring it."

Another few steps.

"Chen Daoyou is keen on the scriptures of Taoism, can you prepare them in the package in advance?"

"Senior brother personally selected the ancient scriptures, why are you asking me now?"

"Oh, the road is too dangerous, I feel flustered, so I forgot."

There was a moment of silence, and he continued to walk about ten steps.

"Senior brother..."

Jiang Qin'an was the first to speak, "Brother, I'm a little tired, why don't you take a break before leaving?"

Yue Haiping blinked and nodded in agreement.

The effort of two sticks of incense, at the foot of the mountain.

The two Taoists stepped on the stubborn stones of the grass platform and flew down.They came back after all.

Failed to go up the mountain.

The moment I lifted my foot off the last rock and landed on the lawn, I felt my body light and light, which was very different from the inexplicable depression when I was on the mountain, and I felt relieved and comfortable.

After a while, before they could feel this strange gap in detail, the crowd gathered around and swarmed up, almost drowning the two of them.

"Master Dao, how is it on the mountain?"

"Is there a blessed land? Is there a fairy medicine?"

"People say that there is a fairy dancing in the sky, have you seen it?"

"Is the mountain road really that difficult to walk?"

There are too many problems. No matter what the people who go down the mountain really feel, it is impossible to weaken their prestige at this time. Therefore, the steep mountain road and the difficult road have become the consensus of the people who go down the mountain. Add oil and vinegar.

Jiang Qin'an and Yue Haiping are no exception, the lingering charm of the formation has not gone, and the two still feel the extraordinarily difficult and dangerous mountain road from the bottom of their hearts, and have lingering fears in their hearts.

……

Crowds come and go, go and come.

Going around, under the influence of the invisible formation, no one succeeded in climbing the mountain, and no one got the elixir.

Gradually, the atmosphere began to slump, and no one preached that this place was a blessed place for Taoism, and only regarded last year's thick fog as astronomical scenery.

The turmoil on Qingtai Mountain didn't last long, the thick fog cleared for a moment, and the ripples rippled through the world, and the bustle and bustle caused by it lasted for more than ten days before it began to subside.

At this time, Chen Yu finally refined the ancient well into a spiritual weapon, a self-generated spiritual tool.

"it's time."

After several months of combing, the springs have been accumulated for several months, and the spiritual weapon is already there, and the grand formation is completed!
This day, May fourteenth.

The sky is dazzling, bright and gorgeous in the night sky, caressing thousands of households in the north and south, just like the day.
