After careful consideration, the master decided to take the route suggested by Orion. Although climbing over the mountain was particularly hard, it was better than encountering wild beasts. Every time they climbed a mountain, the three of them would find a dry and flat place and build a grass shed to rest for a day.

Calculating the days, by stopping and going like this, we can still reach Qianyunzong Station in half a month.

In order to make it easier to climb the mountain, Zheng Qiu came up with a way. Weave a straw rope from thatch. When climbing the mountain, he would tie the wheelchair to a big tree with the straw rope every time he climbed the mountain. This way he could rest and not be afraid of the wheelchair sliding down the mountain.

Ten days later, the bushes at the foot of the mountain rustled and swayed, and then they were chopped down to the side. Three people came out from behind, it was Zheng Qiu, the master and Yunyou. Their clothes were stained with dust, and there was a scratch on the east side and a scratch on the west side. There was a hooked thread. There were still some weed leaves hanging in the hair, messy.

"Master, we are here!" Zheng Qiu pointed to the front and shouted. At first glance, he understood that it was the mountain peak where Qianyunzong Station was located.

It is a very special mountain. The peak rises from the ground and towers into the clouds. The other peaks next to it are not half as high as it. The peak is gray-brown, with only sporadic green shades. When you get closer, you realize that this gray-brown is a large area. Steep mountain walls.

When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Zheng Qiu ran forward and touched the large stone surface of the mountain wall. The stone surface was almost vertical, and when the wind blew, small pebbles rolled down from above. He stepped back about ten feet and looked up at the stone with his mouth open. Above the surface is still a stone surface, and above the cliff is still a cliff.

Zheng Qiu asked blankly: "Master, how can we get up here? There is not even a rope ladder to climb."

The master squinted his eyes and watched for a while, then took out the map and looked at it carefully: "Good disciple, maybe the direction is wrong. Let's go around the mountain and look around. There should be a way up."

They pushed the wheelchair and followed the master around the foot of the mountain to search. After a long time, just as the master expected, they found a mountain road in the north direction of the mountain. This road was cut out of the mountain wall, like a long trough. , spiraling upward.

Zheng Qiu stepped forward and measured it with his feet. The road was only half a foot wide and one foot high, so a wheelchair could pass.

After carrying his luggage, Zheng Qiu wanted to push the wheelchair, but the master stopped him. "Good apprentice, don't be impatient for now. Master, I'll walk up a bit to see what's going on."

After saying that, the master set off on the mountain road. About half an hour later, the master's figure appeared again. "Good disciple, don't go up the mountain today. Let's have a good rest at this intersection and be energetic enough to set off tomorrow morning."

"Master, why can't you go up the mountain today?"

"I just went to see it. The road is all sloped, and the mountain walls next to it are also smooth. There is no place to rest when pushing a wheelchair."

Hearing this, Zheng Qiu's face was full of sorrow: "There is no place to rest! So can we climb this mountain in one breath tomorrow? It is so high."

"Don't be afraid, apprentice. Tomorrow we will leave all our luggage and just bring a few cakes. The wheelchair master can switch with you."

After discussing the solution, the three of them set up a shed on the grass beside the intersection, lit a fire and boiled water to spend the night. During the meal, Yunyou shared all her cakes with Zheng Qiu and the master, asking them to eat more to replenish their physical strength. .

The weather was sunny the next day and the wind was not strong. It was a suitable time to go up the mountain. The master braided two straw ropes and tied them to the two armrests of the wheelchair. Then he tied one around his waist and the other around Zheng Qiu’s waist. . Then he told Zheng Qiu that after going up the mountain, he would pull for a while and Zheng Qiu would push for a while, taking turns to rest.

The mountain road is long. From a distance, the three of them look like snails on a big tree, moving up little by little. There is a cliff at their feet, and with every step forward, sand and gravel roll down due to vibration.

At first, Zheng Qiu was still very scared. He turned his head inward and kept looking at the mountain wall. As time passed, he gradually became more courageous, from peeking secretly at the edge of the cliff to looking down the cliff at trees and streams.

, with a panoramic view of the mountains, Zheng Qiu thought to himself, maybe this is how practitioners feel when they fly.

However, the scenery in front of him could not relieve his physical fatigue. After climbing for a while, Zheng Qiu felt that his legs were getting hotter and hotter, and a tingling feeling in his bones seeped into his muscles little by little. His breathing gradually became rapid, and he was panting.

The more urgent it is, the drier the throat will feel.

He straightened up and looked above his head. Above was a top made of large rocks. He couldn't see how far he was from the top of the mountain. It seemed that this upward road had no end and would go on forever.

"Master..." Zheng Qiu wanted to ask the master to pull it and rest for a while. But when he saw the master's heavy steps, he couldn't say anything. The master had just pulled the wheelchair, and he had only pushed it so far.

I just want to change the route, but I don't care about the master.

Thinking of this, Zheng Qiu lowered his upper body, put his shoulders against the back of the chair, supported his whole body behind the wheelchair, and used all his strength to push up.

Suddenly, the master who was walking in front stopped. He turned around, his face was full of joy, and he was swallowing hard, trying to speak quickly: "Apprentice, apprentice, that's great. ahead.

, there is a section of road ahead that is flat.”

There is a flat road. These words sounded to Zheng Qiu like the rain during a long drought or the charcoal in the cold winter. He suddenly felt energetic, took three steps and two steps at a time, and rushed to the master's position.

It turns out that the mountain road turned inward at this location, stopped its upward momentum, and dug a tunnel into the mountain wall. The tunnel was not long, less than three feet, and was an arc, which happened to go around a section of the outer mountain wall.

After parking the wheelchair, Zheng Qiu and his master sat down to rest regardless of the sand on the ground. When the master sat down, the machete on his waist hit the outer mountain wall, making a crisp sound.

Zheng Qiu moved over and touched it. It was cool. Take a closer look. With the light coming from the entrance of the cave, you can still see the metallic luster on the mountain wall. No wonder a tunnel was dug here. It turned out that there was metal in the outer mountain wall.

Don't move.

This tunnel, which was less than three feet long, gave them great help. After resting for two hours and eating some bread, the three of them continued towards the top of the mountain.

As they climbed higher and higher, the temperature became lower and lower. The road began to become wet, and then snow appeared. The snow slowly became thicker, from a thin layer to the top of the feet. The snow made a rustle when stepped on.

It makes a squeaking sound and makes the soles of your feet feel slippery.

Zheng Qiu glanced at the cliff beside him, and the fear could not help but rise from the bottom of his heart. "Master, this place is too slippery. We can't walk anymore. I'm afraid...what if..."

"Good disciple, don't be afraid. You see there is snow on this mountain, which means we have climbed very high. The top of the mountain is definitely not far away. We can't give up at this time." As he said, the master took off his machete and kept sweeping with the blade.

Driving through the snow ahead, "Master will clear the way for you, don't be afraid."
