() Li Ling raised his head and looked at the steep mountain wall in front of him. Mountain fog was shrouded in fog and the ice wind was biting. The wall was blown by ice, and its surface had long been covered with a thick layer of thin ice.
Li Ling stretched out his hand to touch the dodge surface, and sighed slightly: "This mountain wall is so smooth, no matter how high your Qinggong is, you can't climb it. What's more, the mountain wall in front of you is more than 300 meters high, which is even more difficult to climb.
Make it more difficult."
"Master, it's true that such a big problem has arisen. Unless you have wings on your body, how can you get through it?" Li Ling nodded his forehead. The cold wind around him became colder and colder, and the sky gradually turned dark.
Go down.
It will be very cold at night in Huashan Mountain in winter. If Li Ling hadn't been practicing internal skills since childhood, he would probably have gone down the mountain as early as possible because he couldn't withstand the cold.
"Master...it's getting dark soon. Come here quickly, old man." Li Ling shouted angrily towards the back of the mountain.
Then the sound is like entering a valley, disappearing and never returning.
"Hey, Master, is it true that the old man fell asleep in this ice and snow?" Li Ling sighed with emotion, then sat cross-legged and breathed in and out to enhance the circulation of his own qi and blood and achieve a constant body temperature.
But after sitting for a long time, Li Ling felt very hungry. He was surrounded by steep mountains and inaccessible people. It was winter again, and most animals had gone to hibernate. The fruits on the trees had all fallen, so there was nowhere to find food.
"Forget it, let's go down the mountain temporarily to find something to eat. Otherwise, it will be really uncomfortable here because of the cold and hunger." Li Ling walked down the mountain road and passed the pine forest in front of him. He didn't see a single living person along the way.
Like Li Ling, they will come out to look for food in winter.
Halfway up the mountain, Li Ling suddenly noticed something moving in the grass in the woods. Out of curiosity, Li Ling pulled away the grass and saw a rabbit that came out to look for food in winter.
Li Ling's hands and feet were very quick. He crouched down and swooped down, grabbed the rabbit's ears, and lifted it up in an instant.
"It's a wild rabbit. I'll strip it off and roast it later." Li Ling smiled slightly, but seeing the fear in the rabbit's eyes, he couldn't bear it anymore. After swallowing his saliva, he threw the rabbit into the snow.
"Forget it, I see how pitiful you are, just like me, let's go." Li Ling threw down the rabbit, and the rabbit quickly disappeared into the snow.
However, his stomach growled again. Li Ling suddenly thought about the Erguotou in his pocket, so he took it out and drank a few mouthfuls. The taste was spicy and warmed his stomach, which temporarily filled his stomach.
Li Ling took two sips of Erguotou and then put Erguotou back into his pocket. He came to a rock and looked out into the distance. He suddenly found a goshawk flying in the sky with a branch in its mouth.
It is flying against the mountain wall. There is a huge nest above the cave on the mountain wall. It is building its own eagle's nest by holding branches one by one in its mouth.
Li Ling was fascinated by the sight and felt that if he had wings, he could fly up the mountain wall like this.
Just as I was thinking about it, an idea flashed in my mind. Since the goshawk can build its own nest on the mountain wall with branches in its mouth, why can't I build a nest that can climb over the mountain wall with a pile of branches?
What about the ladder?
Li Ling made up his mind, and the depressed expression on his face suddenly disappeared, and he began to act according to his plan.
"Visual inspection of the mountain wall shows that it is almost three hundred meters high. If I were to build a ladder to heaven, with my lightness skills, I would need at least thirty branches as thick as my arms." Li Ling was looking for hard wooden branches while testing the branches.
Length and hardness.
"The branches must be able to bear my weight." Li Ling hung on a tree. The branch of the tree was just as thick as an arm. Li Ling hung on it without breaking. It was very suitable. Li Ling used his hands.
With one chop, the tree trunk broke with a snap.
Like this, Li Ling found ten suitable branches within an hour, hugged the ten branches, and walked towards the 300-meter-high cliff.
When he reached the bottom of the cliff, Li Ling put down the branches as thick as his arms and continued to look for suitable branches nearby.
After another half hour passed, Li Ling selected all the branches and checked the hardness of the branches again. Then he spent another half an hour sharpening the front ends of the branches to an extremely sharp point.
"Whether we can cross mountains or ridges depends entirely on you." Li Ling squatted down, picked up an arm-thick branch prepared on the ground, picked it up and jumped up, jumping more than ten meters high. When he was hanging ten meters in the air,
, Li Ling used strong force on his wrist and used his strong Qi to stab the rock wall. With a click, the ice on the surface of the rock wall cracked, and the tips of the branches filled with Qi sank into the hard rock.
Li Ling hung on the branch and breathed a sigh of relief. Hanging on the branch, he raised his eyes and looked around. The sky and the earth suddenly opened up, and there was a loud roar.
"It seems feasible, let's do it again." Li Ling loosened his grip on the branch and gradually flew down. Then he picked up the second branch, lifted it up and jumped up, hanging on the first branch with one hand.
, holding the branch with the other hand, and then poured his true energy into the arm holding the branch, squatted with his feet on the wall, and once again soared ten meters into the air. Seizing the opportunity at the highest point, Li Ling put the second branch
Branches stuck into the rock wall.
In this way, he climbed to a height of twenty meters. Li Ling exhaled slowly. Although it was only twenty meters at this moment, the mountain wind was already very strong and biting. If Li Ling hadn't been extremely skilled in internal energy, he would have been there long ago.
Frozen to death.
"The third branch." Li Ling let go and used Qinggong to fall down from a height of twenty meters like an eagle spreading its wings.
After falling back to the ground, Li Ling took two of them in his hand and two under his arm, and jumped up. With Gao Xuchao's climbing skills, Li Ling quickly built a 60-meter-high ladder.
Li Ling was hanging sixty meters in the air, with the cold current and ice wind blowing mercilessly on Li Ling's cheeks. Li Ling wondered in his heart, how could the old man, the master, fall asleep here when the night in Huashan is so cold.
At a height of sixty meters, Li Ling was ashamed. He didn't dare to let go at this moment. He fell down all at once. He could only let go and fall on the next branch. With the help of slowing down the falling speed, Li Ling dared to completely fall on the branch twenty meters high.
Without grabbing the branch, it fell directly to the ground.
After falling back to the ground, Li Ling reduced the number of branches this time. Because of his strength, Li Ling could not use Qinggong to leap sixty meters. He was still able to fill up his energy and insert all four branches into the rock wall.
.
"It seems that the internal strength is still not enough." Although it was a freezing cold day, Li Ling was sweating on his forehead. Moreover, he had been working like this for almost two hours. At this moment, the weather was close to the early morning, the darkest day of the day.
The moment is also the coldest moment.
This time, Li Ling only took a branch and climbed up to an altitude of 60 meters. At this time, the cold wind blew hard, and Li Ling's clothes were covered with thin ice. Li Ling secretly gritted his teeth.
He jumped up and flew ten meters into the air. The branches were filled with true energy, and he used all the power of his true energy to plunge into the rock wall. But something terrible happened. This time, Li Ling failed to plunge the branch into the rock wall, but instead
The front end of the entire branch was completely worn away, so that Li Ling had no point of support and his body fell directly downwards.
"Damn..." Li Ling never expected that as the height increased, the ice scale on the rock wall and the hardness of the rock would actually increase. Even if the front end of an ordinary tree branch was sharpened, it would not be able to penetrate it.
Li Ling's body fell at a very fast speed. In the middle, he relied on a lot of force from the branches to fall back to the ground safely.
"What should we do now?" Li Ling saw that the entire tip of the branch had been flattened, and felt very distressed.
"Nowadays, we can only climb to a height of 60 meters. Unless we can fly over the remaining 200 meters like a goshawk, hey, damn, it would be great if there were more than 20 iron rods.
"Li Ling tapped his forehead, thinking about the law and wanting to climb over the mountains.
"I don't know what kind of suffering Jing Jing is suffering right now. I can't give up casually." Li Ling picked up the branch in his hand and frowned.
"First use stones to smash the ice dirt, and then use spiritual power to inject it into the branches to try." Li Ling made up his mind, picked up a very sharp stone, and skillfully climbed up to an altitude of seventy meters.
, Li Ling filled the stone with infuriating energy and smashed it out with force. With a bang, ice scale splashed on the rock wall, and an ice hole was opened. It was obvious how thick the ice scale was. Li Ling had sharp eyesight and quick hands. He immediately
He stretched out his hand like an eagle's talon and grasped the hole in the ice, and was able to hang it high in the sky.
"Hey, this seems feasible." Li Ling was currently at an altitude of 70 meters above the mountain wall. In fact, the altitude was 570 meters. The cold wind seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.
However, Li Ling knew better that if he did this, the risk would increase, because the ice surface was slippery and difficult to grasp. Also, as the height increased, Li Ling could not predict whether the stone could be smashed.
Crush the thin ice on top.
Once it fails, Li Ling's body will fall back from a height of one or two hundred meters. At that time, even if Li Ling's Qinggong is used, he will be killed.
However, it is worth a try. This is Li Ling's newly discovered method. There are so many methods on the ladder, so you can adapt to changes. Li Ling secretly decided in his heart and looked at the peak under the night.
"Get up." Li Ling exerted force with his left palm, and squatted violently with his feet on the ice. His body rose five meters. Although the height was not high, it could be regarded as an improvement in the height on the rock wall.
After more than a dozen ups and downs, Li Ling finally climbed to the halfway point of the rock wall. The next step was a hundred-meter cliff. If he fell, the consequences would be disastrous.
At this moment, Li Ling's fingers were almost frozen. The height of 150 meters above the rock wall made Li Ling almost feel like he was in an ice cellar.
"it's too cold."
The night was dark and windy, and it started to snow. Li Ling's hair and eyebrows were dyed white by the snow, and his lips were even purple from the cold.
"Continue." After Li Ling recovered some of his energy, he climbed up again. This time, it was only three meters. Li Ling suddenly felt that the difficulty was getting more and more difficult. Moreover, the most terrifying thing was that the rock in his hand
, because it was smashed too much, and it was broken into pieces the size of a palm.
"I'm happy now." Li Ling knew that the rock in his hand had no effect, so he threw the rock in his hand off the cliff. After a while, there was a bang, and the sound of the rock falling to the ground broke into pieces.
dross.
"Hey, if I fall down in a while, I will probably end up like this rock." Li Ling grabbed the dug cave with all his strength, hung it one hundred and fifty meters above the rock wall, and looked at the mountain stream in the distance.
"Huashan Mountain is really steep. It deserves to be called Mount Huashan among the Five Mountains." Li Ling could only find some boring topics to occupy himself at this moment.
At this moment, it was already three o'clock in the morning, which was also close to daytime. Because it was winter, early in the morning and late in the evening, Li Ling did not expect the master to get up and save himself.
"Now that the stone is gone, we are really at the end of the road." Li Ling sighed, feeling incompetent again. Thinking of the embarrassing situation when An Jing was kidnapped and he was unable to resist, Li Ling felt extremely sad in his heart.
"I wonder what Anjing is doing now. What will those mad scientists do to her?" Li Ling hung in the mountain, but in his mind, the scene of Anjing being kidnapped that day was like a movie.
"Since the stone is gone, I will use my hands. With my iron palm skills, I should be able to make a hole in this thin ice." Li Ling took a deep breath, raised his energy, and jumped up again. This time he took a longer rest.
, unexpectedly jumped out to a height of seven meters, Li Ling seized the opportunity, filled his left palm with true energy, straightened his five fingers, like a blade, slashed on the thin ice, Li Ling's fingers suddenly felt pain,
But he still knocked a hole out of the thin ice and stretched out his right hand to hold on.
"It seems that my own hands are more effective." Li Ling laughed.
Following this experiment, the more Li Ling hit the ice with his hands, the more he felt that his fingers became more flexible and hard, and his hands really felt as sharp as blades.
In less than an hour, at about four o'clock in the morning, Li Ling finally completed the task of climbing the ladder to heaven. He jumped up the 300-meter rock wall, squatted down and jumped to the ground. He stood up and roared to the sky.
"I'm coming up." Li Ling laughed, which was actually a kind of mental release from the difficulty of climbing up just now.
"I don't know where Master, the old man, sleeps." Li Ling took a look around the top of the mountain. In addition to a lot of rocks, there were some pine trees and a lot of snow.
"Where's the master?" Li Ling looked around, but couldn't see the nine-tailed fox.
"No, we're going down the mountain." Li Ling became a little depressed, but just when Li Ling had this idea, he saw a human-shaped snowman sitting cross-legged on the ground.
Li Ling took a look and immediately recognized that it was a person buried alive by the snow. Li Ling was shocked and hurriedly pulled the snow off his face. It turned out to be a nine-tailed fox, the master. Li Ling immediately shouted:
"master."
But the nine-tailed fox just closed its eyes and ignored Li Ling. Li Ling was shocked. Under such thick snow, the master was meditating like this. Could it be that he was practicing some advanced martial arts...
Li Ling sniffed the nine-tailed fox's breath, and it turned out that he was no longer breathing... Damn, what kind of qigong is this? Li Ling sniffed for another ten minutes, but there was still no breath. Damn, I can shut up for ten minutes...
…
An hour later, still not breathing...
No... Li Ling would not foolishly think that the nine-tailed fox died...
