I remember one time I dreamed about my master, Grandpa Xiucai, and chatted with him about Dongzi’s learning of Taoism. Grandpa Xiucai told me that Dongzi had his own destiny, so I didn’t need to worry too much.
It seems that the good fortune that Grandpa Xiucai was talking about was Hao Jingde.
Dongzi reacted, ran to Hao Jingde, and knelt down with a "thud".
He kowtowed three times in a row, looked up at Hao Jingde and said, "Master, please accept my disciple's obeisance."
After saying that, he leaned over and kowtowed three times.
"My techniques are all collected from everywhere, including Buddhism, Taoism, and Jie Jiao, so I don't follow any bullshit rules. I don't care what you do after you learn it, but one thing is, don't kill Orion.
Don't raise imps, otherwise you will deceive your master and destroy your ancestors, do you understand?" Hao Jingde looked down at Dongzi and said.
"Master, apprentice understands!" Dongzi was smart and didn't ask why. He nodded with a smile and kowtowed three more times.
"Okay, get up!" Hao Jingde reached out and gave Dongzi a hand.
Dongzi stood up with Hao Jingde's hand, still grinning.
"Let's go!" Hao Jingde casually put the fairy binding rope he was holding into Dongzi's hand, "Hold it carefully, others let this yellow-skinned kid run away!"
"Eh!" Dongzi took the Immortal Binding Rope, stood still, replied loudly, wrapped the Immortal Binding Rope twice around his wrist, and tied a tight knot.
Hao Jingde glanced at Dongzi, with a slightly satisfied look on his face.
Chen Qizi led us to walk in the forest for about ten minutes. The mountain road became steeper and steeper, and the landform began to change. There were protruding black rocks everywhere as far as the eye could see. The mountain seemed to have been cut, and there were dark clouds on both sides.
A dense abyss.
Even shrubs and creepers are missing, and dwarf ferns and moss grow in the crevices of the rocks.
"Climb up from here and you'll reach the Black Rock Pond!" Chen Laizi said as he led us to stop in front of a huge black rock.
Said to be a rock, it is actually more like a protruding cliff, about ten meters high, diagonally upward, and the top of the cliff seems to be a platform. From where we stand, we cannot see the situation on the top of the cliff.
The surface of the rock is not smooth, there are many pits and there are places to stay, so it is not difficult to get up.
"Let's go up and take a look first!"
Hao Jingde glanced at Chen Laizi, grabbed Dongzi's arm with one hand, grabbed a hole in the rock with the other, and jumped to the top of the cliff.
Within a few ups and downs, Hao Jingde and Dongzi had already stood on the top of the cliff.
Sean also jumped up, his body as fast as lightning, barely using any strength on the cliff.
After swallowing the inner elixir, almost all the hair on its body turned golden, the distance between its ups and downs became significantly larger, and its speed became much faster.
One of Chen Laizi's hands was tied up by the Immortal Binding Rope, and he was dragged into the air by Dongzi. His body was swinging in circles, his face was pale, and his body hit the cliff from time to time.
Hao Jingde stretched out his hand to grab the immortal rope and gently lifted it, pulling Chen Laizi up as well.
"This is right, you all can come up!" Hao Jingde lowered his head and shouted to us.
Lian Ruowei looked up at the cliff, with a slightly embarrassed look on her face.
She is still on the yellow ladder, and she has not yet gathered enough energy in her body. If she wants to go up, she should have to climb up step by step.
Lu Xiaohong looked at me, his lips moved and he was about to speak, but I quickly said: "Xiaohong, go up first and see if Uncle Hao has the rope, and then pull me and Master Lian Tian up!"
Shi Xian hasn't come back yet, so it would be awkward for Lu Xiaohong to take me up first or Lian Ruowei first.
But if I proposed to drag Lian Ruowei up, it would inevitably mean showing off in front of her.
"good!"
Lu Xiaohong understood my intention, smiled and nodded at me, and just as he was about to jump up, a climbing rope hung down from the top of the cliff.
"Hu Ling, my master has prepared a climbing rope. Let me pull you and Master Liantian up!" Dongzi stood on the top of the cliff and shouted to us.
"Master Lian Tian, you go up first!" I smiled at Lian Ruowei.
Even Ruowei nodded without any hesitation and climbed up quickly on the climbing rope.
I actually don't need a climbing rope.
While waiting for Hao Jingde to go up, I stared at the potholes on the cliff, and unexpectedly discovered that those potholes seemed chaotic, but in fact they were hiding something, including the arrangement of the Fuxi Bagua in the "Golden Mirror Treasure Book" that Hao Jingde once showed me.
trace.
If you think back carefully, the places where Hao Jingde stepped on when he went up are exactly the directions where Fuxi Bagua is arranged.
After Lian Ruowei went up, Dongzi lowered the climbing rope again.
I held on to the climbing rope, stepped on the potholes that Hao Jingde had stepped on, and climbed up without even using my breath.
The stone wall is very cold, and you can feel heavy moisture when you touch it with your palms, but it is not slippery.
The reason why I went to pull up the climbing rope was because I didn’t want to show myself better than Lian Ruowei in front of her.
She is about the same age as me, and hiding one's clumsiness appropriately is a sign of respect for her.
Lu Xiaohong followed me and jumped up a few steps.
There is indeed a platform on the top of the cliff, only about seven meters wide. Under the platform is a trapezoidal pool.
The water in the pool is very deep, but crystal clear, and you can even see schools of silvery and plump fish swimming in the pool.
Opposite the pool is a dark mountain, about fifty or sixty meters away.
The entire pool is integrated with the black rock. The entire rock is like a huge water tank. Only the platform we are standing on is seven meters wide, and the width on both sides is only half a meter. It is covered with moss and ferns, and goes straight up.
, like two sharp swords, thrust straight into the mountain opposite the pool.
A miraculous workmanship of nature, this Black Rock Pond is truly worthy of its name.
Apart from us, there was no one else on the platform.
Qian Zhiqi told us that he and Professor Zhang were in Blackstone Pond, but the location we were in was only so large and they were nowhere to be seen.
I took out my phone again, looked down, and saw that there was intermittent signal.
"Brother Qian, where are you?" I opened WeChat and sent a message.
The small circle went around and around, and finally the message was sent successfully.
No information has been sent for a long time.
Location sharing has also long since ended.
"Hu Ling! Hu Ling——"
There was a faint sound coming from the mountain opposite the pool.
Hao Jingde and Lu Xiaohong also heard it, and we turned around and looked across the pool almost at the same time.
A white shirt hung on a branch, waving towards us.
"Lu——Ruowei——"
Another voice sounded from the bottom of the cliff behind us.
Shi Xian's voice.
Lian Ruowei ran to the edge of the platform in a few steps, looked down at the cliff and said: "Shitou, we are here, this is the Black Stone Pond, come up quickly!"
"Dongzi, quickly, bring the climbing rope and pull the stone up!" Lian Ruowei turned around and said to Dongzi.
Dongzi subconsciously turned around and glanced at Hao Jingde.
"Pull him up!" Hao Jingde said expressionlessly. This chapter has been completed!
