"That's right. This is not an ordinary monster. According to legend, it was formed by the transformation of the Ziwu Divine Wind on the mountain. The Piaomiao Sect relied on this monster to occupy half of the Gale Tundra." The old man sighed, "According to ancestors, Feng Mo Mountain
The foot of the mountain used to be rich in topaz ginseng, and there was no need for people to risk their lives to go to the mountains to harvest it. But this wind monster caused trouble, and topaz ginseng gradually disappeared, and in the end only a few plants were occasionally found in the high mountains."
"and after?"
"This happened more than 400 years ago. Later, the Bejia Kingdom incorporated this place into its territory. Of course, the Piaomiao Sect refused and released the wind demon to wreak havoc. It is said that there was almost no living person in the entire Gale Wind Plains! Later, there was a treasure tree.
The king couldn't stand it anymore and took action to disperse the wind demon himself! Since then, the Gale Tundra has slowly changed into what it is now."
He Lingchuan asked him: "The Gale Tundra is not suitable for life. Why doesn't the Piaomiao Sect move to other places instead of stationing at the mountain gate here?"
"You have been here for generations, don't you want to change places?" The old man sighed, "In fact, we are not?"
After dinner, news came that the escort team was indeed going to Feng Mo Mountain.
The Soul-Taking Mirror was very happy: "Maybe our chance will come."
He Lingchuan nodded slightly. If given the chance, he wouldn't mind being an oriole.
After dinner, Master Shi Er looked up at the sky: "There are many stars tonight, and there will probably be no clouds tomorrow morning. This is a good opportunity for viewing."
However, He Lingchuan said to Master Shi Er: "From tomorrow onwards, keep a distance from the escort team. Especially when entering the Fengmo Mountain realm, you must be at least ten miles behind the escort team."
Head Shi Er was startled: "Brother He, do you think something happened at Fengmo Mountain?" He then laughed, "Pingshan occasionally collapses or rocks fall, and caravans will be diverted from Heiyan Village to Fengmo Mountain. This is common practice, it's okay."
He Lingchuan shrugged: "That's all, it's up to you to decide whether to listen or not." The caravan is not his, he is just a companion.
Master Shi Er's smile faded slightly.
This trade route has been peaceful for many years, and the caravans coming and going are fine. Could there be something unexpected on this trip? What's more, King Baoshu's escort team is clearing the way in front, and they are not just idlers; however, what is happening in front of them is
Even Zhu Erniang, who cannibalizes people without any calculation in the Devil's Nest Swamp, is afraid of three points. His words can't be pointless?
It was night and everyone went to bed early.
He Lingchuan simply stopped sleeping and took Baishan Pills to regulate his breathing and practice Qigong.
He could feel that the aura between heaven and earth was increasing recently, and his practice was very efficient.
…
Before the fourth watch, the caravan set off for Feng Mo Mountain.
This time the Shimen caravan no longer fought for the lead and was at least fifteen miles behind the convoy. It can be seen that Master Shi Er still listened to He Lingchuan's words.
The gap in the middle will naturally be filled by other business travelers offside.
After all, the closer you are to the escort, the safer people feel.
This section of the mountain road is getting higher and higher, the mountains are steep and dangerous, and the official road has turned into a sheep intestine.
He Lingchuan was so angry that he turned to ice. He turned around and saw a layer of white frost on Master Shi Er's beard.
"Before the road to Heishizhai was opened, everyone could only pass through here." Master Shi Er wrapped his head tightly in a thick blanket, "otherwise it would have been an extra two hundred miles, and it would be worse than this."
The road is much more difficult.”
"Originally, this place was occupied by the Piaomiao Sect. Did you ever think about paying for the road?"
Master Shi Er laughed dryly: "Then I don't know, it happened hundreds of years ago."
On the way up the mountain, he also pointed out several places to He Lingchuan, saying they were the ruins of the Piaomiao Sect.
This Immortal Sect also had a glorious past, with buildings spread all over the mountains. Unfortunately, after four hundred years of wind and snow, not a single tile remains.
He Lingchuan looked at nothing.
Master Shi Er is a veteran at knowing the way and looking at the sky. He said last night that there would be no clouds this morning, and it turned out to be a clear sky.
There was a sudden burst of cheers from the front.
"The sunrise, look, look, look!"
He Lingchuan raised his head and looked sideways, and saw a ray of golden light hitting the dangerous peak opposite, turning the white snow into a red gold color.
Majestic and magnificent, cold and warm, blend into perfect unity on this natural color stone.
Even the escort stopped, stood in silence facing Jinfeng with hands folded, and prayed silently.
Legend has it that those who are lucky enough to see Rizhao Golden Peak will have good luck if they pray in time.
He Lingchuan clasped his hands together, but didn't know who to pray to for luck.
His faith was not entrusted to gods.
However, in this situation, in front of the majestic snow-capped mountains, he could especially feel the power of creation and his own insignificance.
How can I improve my Tao so that I can have the power to open the sky and split the earth?
To this day, can heaven still give the answer?
After two hours of walking again, the mountain peak is still in front of me, still so cold and cold——
Everyone almost walked half a circle around it.
This nine-turn and twenty-eight-turn road around the mountain has no end in sight.
He was also thinking that if someone specifically forced the convoy to take this road, it would be time to take action. With only a few dozen miles to go, the most dangerous part of this journey would be over.
No one seems to be worried except him. After all, this is the territory of Baoshu Kingdom, trade is safe, and there are escorts in front, so what else can happen?
At this time, the distance between the official road and the dangerous peak has been greatly shortened, and there are even several natural stone beams hidden in the bushes intersecting each other. Master Shi Er pointed to a biased path and said: "You can go up to Fengmo Mountain from here. I went up there ten years ago
We passed by and saw the ruins of the Piaomiao Sect. If you walk fast, you can go down the mountain from the other side and you can still get back to the official road."
"The predecessor of Piaomiao Sect is also the Ancient Immortal Sect?"
"From what I saw on the mountain, it should be." Master Shi Er sighed, "That place looks like Guanghan Palace, but it doesn't look like it could be inhabited! The ancient immortals were really capable."
He Lingchuan immediately said: "Come up with me for a walk?"
Those are the relics of the Immortal Sect. I should have gone there to pay my respects and see if there was any demand for the sacred bone necklace.
Besides, Fengmo Mountain is the highest point within a radius of thirty miles, and it should be very clear to overlook the entire convoy's journey from there.
If someone really planned it secretly, they would not miss this commanding height.
He Lingchuan has been silently observing the terrain of the snow-capped mountains.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! To be honest, as a foreigner, he is not familiar with the mountain topography here, which is a big disadvantage.
The time, place, and people were favorable, and he took advantage of none of them.
If he wants to benefit from the chaos that may occur in the future, he needs to be more careful and thoughtful.
"Okay, okay." Master Shi Er tightened his cloak, "But I won't be leaving right away."
It was not an official road. The slope reached 45 degrees and the rocks were rugged.
He Lingchuan patted the big horn of the blue sheep: "What do you think I'm riding?"
He pointed to the snow-capped mountains and asked the blue sheep: "Can you carry us up there?"
The blue sheep bleated twice and nodded repeatedly.
"It's not a big deal." He Lingchuan gave Master Shi Er a hand and helped him climb onto the sheep's back.
Sitting quite securely, Master Shi Er asked the waiters to meet at the front, and then took a breath: "Okay, let's go."
"Let's go!" He Lingchuan shook the reins, and the blue sheep jumped high into the sky, jumping onto the path two or three times.
It’s really bouncing.
Master Shi Er was so shaken that his buttocks were numb. He looked down and saw that he was already on a cliff. He was so frightened that he grabbed He Lingchuan's shoulders: "Slow down! We are not in a hurry!"
This blue sheep is born to forage in the mountains, and can climb mountains much more efficiently than other animals. After becoming a demon, its strength increases, and it is no problem even if it is carrying two people.
The most important thing is that it has built-in agility and buffering talents. It can walk on cliffs as if it were flat ground, and it is not much slower than running on the ground. Newton was angry when he saw it.
It can fit all four hooves into a space as big as a palm.
The mountain wind blew Shi Er's family to the point of collapse, and he regretted so much that he almost vomited out:
This sheep actually doesn't follow the road and likes to take shortcuts! It leaps into the air several times and is so happy that Master Shi Er happened to look down and saw that it was an abyss.
The mountain wind is so strong that if one of the blue sheep stumbles, all three of them will be dead!
Soon, the large army was left behind and out of sight.
"This, this, this, right here, you can come down!" Master Shi Er pointed to a stone mortar, his face was numb from the cold wind, and he couldn't open his mouth.
The blue sheep jumped into the stone mortar with a light leap, and then returned to the planned route.
Climb up from here to reach the top of the mountain.
This section of the mountain road is quite wide, the steps are not narrow, and it is quite comfortable to walk on. For two thousand years, the disciples of the Piaomiao Sect have been walking up and down the mountain on this mountain road.
Master Shi Er couldn't help but sigh: "It's very tiring to go up and down the mountain every day."
The mirror spoke again, and he said with a strange tone: "Don't you think that in ancient times, the children of the Immortal family walked in and out of the mountain gate?"
Of course, Master Shi Er couldn't hear it.
He Lingchuan patted the mirror: "Then how to go, flying with a sword?"
"Of course!" Jing Jing said matter-of-factly, "Look at the paths in the mountains that are so well built that they look like they are often used by people."
If it is a must-pass road, then of course it should be built as wide and straight as possible. However, the few paths He Lingchuan saw were uneven and dug very randomly. No matter how you look at it, they all mean "build it casually, and it will be good if there is a road."
Now the two of them are following the natural cracks and drilling into the heart of the mountain.
According to legend, this Fengmo Mountain is the main peak of the Immortal Sect.
Of course, when it was at its peak, there were too many disciples, and not all of them might live here.
The road actually got wider and wider, and the two of them soon reached a huge natural platform. There was a rocky mountain above, which was particularly majestic. The rock surface was so smooth that even blue sheep couldn't climb it.
The wonder of "Rizhao Golden Peak" worshiped by thousands of people is the sunlight hitting the peak of this huge rock.
The platform underneath is huge, with at least three football fields side by side.
Standing here, you can not only overlook the mountains, but also clearly see the guards on the opposite side!
The wind here was so strong that the two people and the sheep were almost blown down by the mountain wind.
"Hurry up, get in there!" Master Shi Er pointed forward and shouted into the wind, and He Lingchuan discovered that there was a path leading inward.
