Chapter 144: Up the Mountain
Chen Luo didn't want to give up, so he walked all the way to the left along the fog wall.
After walking for about an hour, the white fog wall was still uninterrupted. He also tried several times to enter the fog wall to explore the way, but the result was the same as before, and it was difficult to withstand the suffocation.
However, as he walked, Chen Luo suddenly realized that the terrain under his feet began to rise, and he seemed to be climbing the hill.
Soon, another hour passed, and the sinking still found nothing.
Just as he was about to give up and returned to Changshou Village, he suddenly made a "click" under his feet and stepped on something.
When Chen Luo lowered his head to check, he found that there was a corpse under his feet.
He moved slightly in his heart and walked forward a hundred steps. The fog in front suddenly began to fade a lot, but the scene in front of him surprised him.
There was about dozens of feet in front of it, and the ground was covered with dense white bones of humans and beasts.
Chen Luo looked at the familiar scene in front of him and couldn't help but frown slightly, but after a little hesitation, he continued to walk towards the center of the bones.
When he got closer, he soon saw the hollow about ten feet on the ground, which was pitch black inside, which was exactly the hollow of the sky he had escaped from before.
"It's true that it's here, I've gone back again..." Chen Luo pondered.
He walked to the edge of the hollow and looked inside for a moment, but could not see anything.
Chen Luo knew that if there was no protection of the other side of the flower, once he entered Yinming, his body would definitely turn into powder, and there was also a terrifying Black Mountain old demon in it.
"If you want to go this path again, I'm afraid that the strength of the Soul Condensation Stage is not enough, at least you have to do it in the Out-of-body Stage." Chen Luo murmured.
After saying that, he turned around and left here and continued to explore in another direction.
...
It was almost noon that Chen Luo returned to Changshou Village, and he was unable to find a way out in the fog.
Yingluo was waiting on the wall early on, and was extremely happy to see him coming back safely.
Chen Luo frowned slightly and told her about her discovery in the fog, but she just kept the discovery leading to Yinming's empty hole.
"Thank you Brother Shen. Since you can't get out of the fog, you'll plan to continue fighting against the monsters." Yingluo said firmly after hearing this.
"There is no way out in the fog, I plan to search for it on Fangcun Mountain." Chen Luo turned his eyes and landed on the towering peak behind the village, saying in a calm tone.
"No, no! Absolutely no, it's too dangerous!" Yingluo immediately shook his head like a rattle when he heard this.
"I know you have a ancestral teaching and don't let you enter the mountain, but there is no way out now. Only by going up the mountain may you have a glimmer of life. Look at the children, do you really hope that their last days will be spent in the fear of constantly fighting monsters?" Shen Luo looked at the children playing aside and said earnestly.
Yingluo looked over when he heard this, then fell silent and fell into deep thought.
"Okay, Brother Shen. If you really plan to go up the mountain, I must go with you." After a moment, she raised her head and said decisively.
"You don't have to take risks with me, you have to take care of the village. Besides, your injuries have not yet healed." Chen Luo smiled and shook his head.
"Brother Shen, I'm not acting irritable, but if you don't lead the way, you'll be afraid it's difficult to find the entrance to climb the mountain," Yingluo shook his head and said.
"Why is this?" Chen Luo asked in confusion.
"The mountains of Fangcun Mountain are steep and the mountaineering paths are mostly hidden. If I don't lead the way, you will probably have to work hard just by finding the mountain pass." Yingluo said.
"But in the village..." Chen Luo hesitated.
"Brother Shen, don't worry, you just killed those monsters yesterday and suffered heavy casualties. They will definitely not dare to commit it again in a short period of time. I have some skin injuries on my body, which is not a problem." Yingluo said with a firm look on his face.
"Okay. Without further ado, we will set out now." Chen Luo hesitated for a moment and said.
"good."
Yingluo found the young and strong man in the village named Qingniu and told him to guard the village. Then he went to remind Grandma Ma, then left with Shen Luo and went to Fangcun Mountain.
Fangcun Mountain seems to be behind Changshou Village, but in fact, the journey to the mountain is quite long.
In addition, the original mountain road has not been taken for many years, and it has been covered by dense weeds and shrubs. It is quite difficult to walk. It took the two of them an hour to reach the foot of the mountain.
When I arrived at the foot of the mountain, Shen Luo realized why Yingluo insisted on coming.
On the mountain in front of him, he could only see the mountain walls hundreds of feet high, and there was no road at all.
It was also Yingluo who found a huge raised rock based on the terrain characteristics mentioned by the old man in the village before, and then discovered a hidden cave from below.
They walked up the cave and walked hundreds of feet through the mountain before they penetrated through a hole on the wall behind Fangcun Mountain.
The two of them walked about two or three miles along a small path in front of the cave entrance before they arrived at a slightly wider mountain path, which was considered to have found the way to truly climb Fangcunshan.
"You are right. If you don't come to lead the way, I'm afraid I may not be able to find the way until night." Chen Luo couldn't help but say, looking at the dense ancient trees around him.
"In the past, there were many legends about the gods of Fangcun Mountain in the village. What I still remember was the story of the butterfly guided the way and the woodcutter. The butterfly guided the way was that a man crossed the sea from Biezhou and wanted to go up the mountain to become a disciple and practice Taoism. After he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he got lost and could not find the entrance to the mountain. He searched around the mountain for three years, but he still refused to give up. In the end, he moved the gods on the mountain and sent a butterfly guided him to lead the way, so that he could climb the mountain and found the gate all the way." Yingluo said kiddingly.
"Maybe the hardships in the past three years have not been able to get the path. Is it the gods on the mountain who are testing him?" Chen Luo said with a smile after hearing this.
"I thought so when my father told me this story. Even when I was a child, I was thinking that these hardships I encountered in the village were also tests for us by gods?" Yingluo said with a smile, but his tone was a hint of sadness.
"What is the legend of that woodcutter?" Chen Luo saw this and asked instead of the question.
"This story is even more bizarre..." Yingluo said, but stopped when he heard this.
Chen Luo, who was standing beside him, also stiffened his whole body and stood there.
