It was late autumn, and frosting dew was condensed in the morning and evening. The more you walked south, the more you became, the more you became moister, and the breath was filled with a cool breath. On the winding mountain road, the sound of hooves was ticking. Hundreds of strong horses guarded a convoy and moved forward slowly.

The horse was panting, spitting mist, sneezing, and dusty on its body, which seemed to have been a long journey. But it was not because of the lack of people. It was really hard to walk.

The road to Shu is difficult, but it is harder than to reach the sky. Li Mu once used this poem to show off. When he said it, he didn't think it was anything. Now he really felt real. Since he entered Sichuan, the road has been hovering among the mountains. Even the post road is just a few small roads dug out halfway up the mountain. It is extremely narrow. On the side of the steep cliff, you can turn your head and see the cut-cut rock walls and the endless river water. The vehicle can walk here, but Lonely Jiu divided the guards out of the outposts. When encountering bad roads, the result of temporary repairs.

But since I entered this mountain, I am afraid it will be over. Because there is no road ahead, there are only some small paths. Just as Mr. Lu Xun said, there was no road here, and there were too many people walking, and the kind of road I stepped on.

The convoy stopped.

Li Mu, who was squinting his eyes, shrugged and opened his eyes. The Dugu family came to the front of him and said through the curtain: "Brother, I can't get through the carriage in front."

Li Mu lifted the curtain and looked out, and there was no way out. He took out the map, compared it, and frowned and said, "Are we lost our way? Are we walking like this?"

"The direction is right." Dugu Jiu replied: "I asked before entering the mountain. The road here is mostly intermittent, maybe it's better to pass the few miles in front of you, maybe something is right."

"Oh! You still have to build a road!" Li Mu packed the map, got out of the car, and said, "The things on the car are divided into each horse. The empty car turns heading back to the nearest station to wait. Arrange a few people to watch, and take out the horse to pick up the midwife."

These midwifes have already agreed before coming. Although it is difficult to travel through mountains and rivers, the price is high. After all, I don’t have to work for half my life, so I don’t have to complain along the way.

"Report!" The secret guard who was in front suddenly turned around and came to Li Mu and got off the horse: "Marty, a boundary marker was found in front of him."

Li Mu and Dugu Jiu hurriedly walked forward and opened the weeds to check. This boundary marker was old and the handwriting was mottled. It was vaguely identifiable that it was three words, "平台天天".

"What state?" There were too many states in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Mu couldn't bear it. Dugu Jiu had already inquired about it before and said, "It should be Xuzhou."

"Have you arrived in Xuzhou?" Li Mu was a little surprised, but more of a surprise. When he arrived in Xuzhou, he meant that he was not far from his destination - not far from Pangda.

Yes, Li Mu didn't know where Wang Ou was. The coordinate point of his trip was the Taoist stone on Pangda's body. But he was confident that Pangda must be with Wang Ou.

Li Mu looked at the sky. It was almost noon. The convoy was going to return the same route later, so he had to delay a while. He thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "Let's rest and eat something." He said to Dugu Jiu again: "Look for two people and explore the way forward."

Dugu Jiu nodded, took the water bag and pastry from the horse's back and handed it to Li Mu, and went to arrange for someone to explore the way.

Li Mu put the water bag under his butt, opened the silk cloth wrapped in pastries, and started eating it all over. The others ate it all. The food was dry. The mountains were heavy in moisture and they couldn't even find dry firewood. It was basically a delusion to make a hot meal.

Li Mu didn't have the heart to eat, he was almost exhausted.

If this is said, it will inevitably be criticized. Because to outsiders, Li Mu was lying in the car along the way, and he had almost never got out of the car except for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. He could be tired all day long. Is there any reason?

I know that Li Mu’s fatigue is not physical fatigue, but brain fatigue.

The day after leaving, Li Mu, who was sleeping, was suddenly forced to be pulled into the consciousness space by the system. The system informed him that he would be upgraded soon.

Li Mu thought to himself, just upgrade, what did you ask me to do? He wanted to quit and continue to sleep, but a terrible thing happened and he couldn't quit. Then the consciousness space began to collapse, and all the "graphical" things turned into strings. Even Li Mu's body in the consciousness space became characters and integrated into it.

The space of consciousness is closed and he can't get out. This scared him. He has been free to move forward and backward before, why are you so scared today? I just had a child, so don't play with me like this!

Li Mu watched coldly in the chaotic consciousness space, watching the changes in the string in front of him. After a while, he finally saw some clues.

Why do these strings in front of him look so much like the development environment of "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty". So he thought, since the graphical interface is gone, can he try to save himself, and create an interface by himself like when the game was developed back then.

As soon as the thought moved, the chaotic string in front of me became more familiar.

Li Mu, who had become a garbled piece of paper, couldn't help but laugh when he saw this situation.

Can anyone please help me? Which powerful person is bored and has made me travel through time? It is ridiculous to bring a system, so why are you ready for me to develop the tools?

Is this so-called system upgrade to let me 'built' my system by myself? Just like "My World"? 'edit' to create a world by myself?

Li Mu felt it was very ridiculous, but a chaotic space of consciousness did not give him a chance to choose. He could only follow the "system prompts" and try to type the code with "mind power".

Not to mention, typing characters in thoughts is faster than keyboards. Almost as soon as the thought moves, a line of code comes out. Moreover, there will be no character errors, so it is not too good to calculate for a programmer.

Li Mu has never felt this way, it was like flying. If he had the ability before traveling through time, what kind of hackers and white customers, what Silicon Valley elites, and which one is the opponent? It would be fine if he fought a company by himself.

Anyway, it didn't take much effort. Li Mu was not tired in the chaotic state and kept knocking and knocking. I don't know how long it took. He finally restored the graphics interface. Almost the moment he recovered, he was "cleared" by the system. The feeling of long-lost breathing, Li Mu couldn't wait to open his eyes. Everything around him was as usual, and less than half an hour had passed.

This made Li Mu a little dazed. Did he have a dream just now?

He checked himself and found that his head was a little hurt, but his stomach was very hungry. He had similar experiences when practicing internal skills. At that time, he found that he could use his brain to simulate the CPU and constantly try the best power lines. The sequelae was a headache. Because he had too many calculations, it was like the CPU overclocking and overheating. After all, his brain could not install a radiator, so he had to have a headache.

Did you really code in your head just now?

Li Mu had enough food and drink, and was determined to try again.

Entering the space of consciousness, sure enough, the ability of ‘programming’ is still there. The graphical interface has not changed at all when he left just now. The system’s so-called upgrade is not visible at all.

Only then did Li Mu realize that the so-called upgrade this time was to give him the ability to program.

The source data of the system is all there. Li Mu tried it, but he did not have the right to modify it. In other words, if he wanted to restore the system, he could only choose to "install" the data back again, and he still had to continue typing the code.

So what is the use of the so-called upgrade?

Li Mu felt it was very absurd. It was like assembling a computer. He did not upgrade the accessories, but just changed the chassis. It turned out to be like this, but now it is still like this, without any substantial use. Instead, it added a lot of trouble, because if he wanted to use the system now, he had to re-tick all the codes himself.

The system is the biggest reliance on the Tang Dynasty. Li Mu couldn't be lazy. Helplessly, he had to hide in the car and type the code. Therefore, people outside saw that he was sleeping, but in fact he was working overtime. The overtime was too long and his brain was overheated, so he had to 'awake up' and cool down. This kind of sleepless work was really afraid that he would "crash" one day.

After typing the code all the way, Li Mu was already a little numb. When he got off the bus just now, he couldn't tell the difference between the south, south, west and north.

Li Mu swallowed his last bite of pastry, looked up at the mountains in the distance, and thought to himself, Sister Ou, your husband, I'm so useless, come here with such great energy. If you don't go back with me, it will hurt my heart-

Just as he was complaining, the person who was exploring the way was back. Dugu Jiu came to Li Mu and said, "Brother, there is no way ahead."

"What?" Li Mu looked at Dugu Jiu blankly and said, "What does it mean, what does it mean to have no way?"

"The cliff was broken down less than three hundred feet in front. We searched in a scattered manner, but we couldn't find the way to go."

"Why is there no way?" Li Mu got up from the ground and said, "Take me to see!"

Dugu Jiu had to take Li Mu over, three hundred feet away, and it was in the blink of an eye. This time, Li Mu saw it with his own eyes, and there was no way out. Looking around, the three rivers merged, waves surging, and the ground splashed and hit the cliff, flying straight to the middle of the mountain. On the cliff, there was a lonely tree growing on the cliff stone wall, which looked similar to the Huangshan Welcoming Pine. He stretched out a "hand", as if provoking and mocking Li Mu on the other side for being unable to come.

Li Mu gritted his teeth: "How come there is no way? Can the people here be isolated from the world?"

Dugu Jiu didn't say anything, and it was the first time he came. Seeing Li Mu standing by the cliff in a daze, Dugu Jiu stood next to him silently, worried that Li Mu would have an accident for a moment.

"No, it is impossible to be isolated from the world." Li Mu thought for a long time and finally figured it out. As long as there is a name and surname, it is impossible to be isolated from the world. Moreover, Xuzhou, he said that he had heard of Xuzhou, which was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and hundreds of barbarians appeared, and it was impossible to have no access to the outside world.

Li Mu's eyes sank, landed on the surging river water, remained silent for a while, and said, "Let's cross the river!"

Dugu Jiu's lips twitched for a moment and said, "Brother, I am a bit average. If we do, I'm afraid I can't save you."

Li Mu knew Dugu Jiu's temper. He said this, but he had no confidence to do it. Li Mu looked back at the two secret guards following behind him, and they were also frowning, obviously not agreeing.

Li Mu laughed at himself and thought to himself that he took it for granted. The river water is so turbulent, how can I sail? Even if I can sail, where will the ship come from? Who dares to ferry?

"There is a way!" Li Mu turned around and said, "Disassemble the carriage and make a hot air balloon, let's fly over!"

This method is feasible!

Dugu Jiu's eyes lit up. He had seen Li Mu make hot air balloons during the Lantern Festival. At that time, the hot air balloon spanned Chang'an City and was proven to be feasible. However, the hot air balloon was carried by people, after all, Dugu Jiu thought of this question and said, "Brother, there are so many of us."

"Stupid," Li Mu turned around and walked back, saying, "The road must be blocked, there must be a ferry. Make a hot air balloon first, let's go first, and the others ask them to find the way. Isn't it enough to meet at the agreed place?"

"That's better than finding a way together, so it's safe."

"No," Li Mu insisted on the railway; "I promised Qiaoqiao that I must go back within two months. It has been almost a month since then. If it is delayed, I will definitely not go back for two months. She should worry about me. Just do what I said, let's go first, and the others will find the ferry."

After Li Mu said this, Dugu Jiu no longer stopped him. Back at the convoy, Li Mu directed the dismantling of the car. He used the dismantled wooden square to make a simple frame, and pulled several pieces of silk to ask the mother-in-law to help with the help of the hot air balloons. The mother-in-laws are all women, and the women can do a little more red. Although the stitches are not so neat, sewing a little more can also meet the fine standard.

After Li Mu observed, the river surface was only 30 to 50 meters wide. As long as the hot air balloon could fly, it would float over, and there was no need for the quality to be good. For safety reasons, he specially made two parachutes, one of Dugu Jiu.

The tools were not so handy and were not very efficient. They were barely finished until the night. In the middle of the night, of course they could not take off. Li Mu asked him to cut down trees to clean up weeds, clear out a place, and also found a way to lit branches and simmer out some charcoal, which would be used when they take off tomorrow.

The next day, the charcoal was stewed. After Li Mu had explained the matter, he brought dry food and some money with Dugu Jiu, brought two more clothes to change clothes, carried a bag on his body, and climbed onto the hanging basket of the hot air balloon. The fire was lit, and the hot air balloon took off smoothly. Under everyone's surprise eyes, he slowly floated towards the opposite shore.

It was also the weather that made the wind blowing to the other side today. The hot air balloon floated smoothly and quickly flew halfway out of the distance.

Just as Li Mu was about to land, suddenly an arrow flew over from the cliff on the other side, hitting the rope of the hanging basket.

The hot air balloon tilted instantly and fell straight down!
