Although Gu Yu, Jin Lanning and others went too far, it was just a joke between brothers and friends, so just laugh it off, and Ji Feng would naturally not take it seriously.***
The road ahead is still long, but everyone has only one goal, which is to keep moving forward until they find the easternmost boulder that can emit light at night, and then wait for the full moon night when the space crack opens and everyone can enter through the crack.
That mysterious and exotic wonderland.
Although the road ahead is long, the five of them are not lonely. They encounter all kinds of strange monsters along the way. Some want to eat everyone, some want to snatch everyone's magic weapons, and some want to make soy sauce.
But for the five people who have now reached the state of distraction, these monsters are simply a spice to relieve everyone's loneliness.
After walking for a few more days, everyone finally walked out of the vast forest sea. After leaving the forest sea, everyone finally experienced the various wonders of Shennongjia.
There is a cháo river on the mountain. The water surges three times a day and rises once in the morning, noon and evening, each time lasting half an hour.
There is a water cave on the other side. As long as the natural temperature outside the cave begins to freeze within 28comg, the water in the mountain crevices seeps along the cave wall to form a crystal clear ice curtain, which extends downward for more than 10 meters and drips on the bottom of the cave.
The water forms icicles in various shapes, with the top generally mushroom-shaped and hollow.
There are also many unique scenery, too numerous to mention.
After walking eastward for several days, everyone finally saw Shennongding.
Shennongding is known as the "No. 1 Peak in Central China". It is foggy all year round, and the rocks are covered with mosses and ferns. On the mountainside, there are arrow bamboo forest belts, fir forest belts and alpine rhododendron forest belts. There is also a beautiful story about these plants.
Folktales.
It is said that in ancient times, there was a young man and woman at the foot of the mountain. The man was handsome and brave, and the woman was beautiful and capable. They loved each other. The mountain bully Ma Huang coveted the girl's beauty and wanted to snatch her back to be the "Mrs. Yazhai". After hearing the news, the two ran away.
, Ma Huang led people to chase them to the top of the mountain and killed them with poisonous arrows. At this time, Shennong happened to pass by. He sown a handful of arrow bamboo seeds, trapping the mountain tyrants in the bamboo forest and turning them into locusts; he also caressed the young men.
After the woman's body was buried, the man turned into a tall fir tree, and the woman turned into a delicate cuckoo. From then on, they will never be separated for the rest of their lives.
The destination of everyone is a group of rocks to the east of Shennongding. It is said that this place is a completely uninhabited land. Not to mention people, even monsters in the mountains dare not enter.
But in order to enter a foreign land, Gu Yu and the others had to pass through this rock group and look for a large lake deep in the rock group. Only when they found the large lake could they find the bright boulder beside the lake.
Now that we have arrived at Shennongding, we are not far from the rock group.
Thinking of this, everyone felt happy and quickened their pace towards the top of Shennong.
Shennongding is indeed Shennongding. Although there are no monsters blocking the road, it is extremely rugged and the mountains are densely covered with thorns and twists and turns.
Many places have gravel slopes that drop 70 to 80 degrees. Walking in such places requires not only firm determination but also a strong body to climb up.
Fortunately, everyone is a cultivator in the distraction stage. Although these roads are difficult, they cannot be troubled.
After two days of trekking through mountains and rivers, everyone finally reached Shennong Peak in the early morning of the third day.
On this highland of more than 3,000 meters above sea level, watching the first ray of sunshine break through the darkness of dawn, everyone felt relaxed and happy, and their spirits were sublimated.
Everyone couldn't help but feel excited in their hearts. They all faced the foggy mountains and started roaring.
The five people roared for more than half an hour before they stopped. After this roar, the fatigue of the ten days of long journey seemed to have completely disappeared.
Gu Yu looked at the surging sea of clouds in front of him and sighed: "Du Fu has the courage to climb Mount Tai to 'see the whole mountain at a glance', but after climbing to the top of Shennong today, I feel that Mount Tai is nothing more than this. Now standing on top of Shennong, I can look around.
The scenery is completely shrouded in clouds and mist, and you feel like you have ascended to immortality."
Jifeng nodded and said: "Yes, Brother Yu, this Shennongding is really not built."
Gu Yu smiled and said: "It seems that we really need to travel more around the world's famous mountains and rivers in the future, so that our horizons will not be limited to this."
"That's true, Brother Yu, do you think foreign lands are the same as our world? Are there famous mountains and rivers, and fairy palaces?" Jifeng asked with interest.
Gu Yu pursed his lips and said, "How do I know? I've never been in."
At this time, Jin Lanning on the side smiled and said: "You two are serious, aren't you about to enter a foreign land? You will know it after entering. Why are you making wild guesses here?"
Gu Yu smiled and nodded and said: "What Lan Ning said makes sense. Okay, after everyone has had a rest, we will continue on our way." After that, he continued walking along the east side.
After not walking far, I saw a huge rock with eight powerful characters carved on it.
Stop here, no one is allowed to enter!
Gu Yu could tell that these eight characters were carved entirely with one stroke, and that they had been carved for a long time. After being exposed to wind and sun, they were still clearly visible, which was enough to show the profound skill of the person who carved these characters.
Naturally, everyone will not really stop because of these eight words. After all, their purpose is to find the rock group.
"Everyone, be careful. This place is probably a group of rocks." Gu Yu turned around and greeted everyone, then walked inside.
Seeing Gu Yu entering, everyone quickly followed him without hesitation.
As soon as he stepped into the rocks, Gu Yu felt a strange atmosphere spreading, but he didn't know what was wrong.
Although he didn't know what was going on, he felt more cautious in his heart. Gu Yu still understood the principle of sailing a thousand-year boat with caution. After all, when you arrive in a completely unfamiliar place, you should be careful.
After entering the group of rocks, everyone was quickly lost in the group of rocks.
There is nothing visible in this place except for the mottled rocks, let alone animals, and there are very few plants. Except for some ferns that can withstand the harsh climate, there is nothing else.
After wandering among the rocks for several days, Gu Yu made no progress at all. Originally, Gu Yu thought he used the sun as his navigation. Watching the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, as long as he walked forward in the direction of the rising sun, he could find the easternmost point.
lake, but after several days of trekking, he found that this decision was completely wrong.
Looking at the blood-like setting sun on the horizon, Gu Yu sighed: "Another day has passed, and we still haven't found that big lake."
Jifeng sat down on the ground, flexed his ankles and said, "Brother Yu, take a rest. I'm exhausted after walking all day."
Gu Yu hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, I've been here for the past few days, so I don't care about this moment. Let's all take a rest." After saying that, he took advantage of the situation and sat down on a huge rock next to him.
"Brother Yu, are you saying that big lake is really in this group of rocks? Why have we walked for so many days and we haven't seen even a shadow of water, let alone a lake?" Jifeng said with some resentment.
said.
Gu Yu shook his head and said: "Didn't the master say that entering a foreign land is not easy, and you can only enter a foreign land by finding the boulder of light, and that boulder is next to the lake. As long as you find the lake, you can find the boulder of light.
And the lake is among these rocks, but we just didn’t find it.”
Jifeng sighed and said, "Then it's too hard to find. It's been so many days and I haven't even seen a shadow of the lake."
Gu Yu smiled and said: "If it is so easy to find, why is there anything mysterious about it? Just be normal."
At this moment, Jin Lanning, who was standing on the top of a huge rock, suddenly exclaimed: "Yu, there seems to be a reflection in front of me."
"Reflection!?" Gu Yu was shocked, and quickly jumped up to the boulder where Jin Lanning was, and looked in the direction Jin Lanning pointed. Sure enough, he could see a bright reflection not far away.
"How can there be reflection in this place, unless it is the reflection of the sun's rays refracted by the lake." Gu Yu was overjoyed, and hurriedly jumped down from the boulder, saying loudly: "I think the lake is not far away, everyone.
Cheer up and we'll go over there."
The people who had been wandering among the rocks for several days finally saw a bit of light, and their original decadence was instantly wiped away. They stood up from the ground one after another, and under the leadership of Gu Yu, ran towards the place where the light came out.
But things were not as simple as Gu Yu thought. Everyone ran all the way until the sun went down and the moon rose, but they did not get out of the reflective place.
However, under the bright moonlight, the reflection not far away became increasingly brighter.
Gu Yu just kept reminding himself that the lake was not far away. As long as he persisted, he would be there.
Gu Yu could persist, but those who followed him could not. They were all breathing heavily and moaning in agony.
Seeing that the people following him couldn't bear it anymore, Gu Yu could only stop and panted: "Okay, since everyone is tired, let's just walk here today."
When Gu Yu said this, everyone immediately collapsed to the ground like mud.
Seeing everyone's appearance, Gu Yu could only shake his head helplessly, found a boulder that looked more comfortable, and lay down on his back.
The sky is still as dark as ink, and the moon hanging in the sky is almost full. If we don't find the bright boulder by the lake, we may have to wait another month before we can enter the foreign land.
However, there was nothing that could be done about it. Everyone had been searching among the rocks for more than half a month, but they still could not find the lake in the rocks. Even if they missed this full moon night, they could not blame anyone.
After working hard for a while, Gu Yu soon fell into a dream!
But what he didn't expect was that not far from him, a lake reflected a pool of glittering light against the bright moonlight.
