Chapter 93 The green pines are far away and there is no beauty
Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking down——
The white clouds are like the sea and the fog is rolling.
But if you look up——
Yunding Mountain is just above the clouds and mist on the opposite side.
There is only an iron rope as thick as a bowl, leading to the other side of the cliff. In the mist, the scenery on the other side is vaguely visible and yet invisible, as if it is not too far away, and as if everything you see is an illusion.
"This is the Yunding Cable. It was probably built by immortals. In short, if you want to go to Yunding Mountain, you have to climb through this cable." Cui Nanxi said, "The mountain opposite is too steep and impossible to climb. If you want to go to Yunding Mountain, you have to climb it."
The only way to go up is to climb up the mountain from this side, and then use this iron cable to cross. Many people know that they can't pass from here, so they just go back halfway up the mountain and never come here."
"Um……"
The mountain wind is stirring and the mountain fog is flowing.
The iron rope was still swaying faintly.
"This iron rope is very thick, so don't worry about it breaking. However, the mountain wind is very strong, and the swaying of the iron rope intensifies in the middle. It is still extremely difficult to cross even if you have a rope around your waist." Cui Nanxi said, "Every year, people pass through safely.
Some people also fell off the cliff and were shattered to pieces. Sir, have you thought about whether you want to pass?"
"It's natural to live well."
"Okay! Enjoy!"
Cui Nanxi was also very nervous. When he heard him answer so freely, he gave up the idea of backing down.
"You've come here, why go back?" Cui Nanxi encouraged himself, "It's just that the horse and donkey can't get through. Cui will leave the donkey here and Hong Xiu here to take care of him. If you can trust Mr. Cui
You can also leave your horse here with Cui's servants."
"Thank you for your kindness." Song You paused, "It's just that the horse below has no reins, so no one can restrain it. It is very obedient and does not need to be watched. You can just let it graze on the mountain."
"Sir, you are somewhat of a fairy!"
"Don't dare to take it seriously."
"Sir, do you have a belt?"
"Waist rope?"
"Didn't you bring it, sir?"
"What is that?"
Cui Nanxi waved his hand, and the person next to him took out two strong ropes from the package.
"When climbing along the iron rope, one end of the rope is tied to the waist, and there is a mechanism on the other end. It is easy to loop around the iron rope. This way, even if you lose strength or slip on your feet, you will not fall."
"It's quite clever."
"Since you don't have it with you, sir, let me... Xu Le and I go there first. Xu Le is very skilled in martial arts, so he can bring back another waist rope for you to use, sir."
Thinking about it, the iron rope still frightened him a little. When he said that he had to cross first, he obviously lacked confidence.
But I still said it.
Song You smiled: "That's not necessary."
"Um?"
Just when Cui Nanxi was confused, he saw the calico cat at the gentleman's feet suddenly took a few steps forward, with brisk steps, like a trot, and casually stepped on the iron rope.
Then he ran forward.
He ran a few steps and looked back at them.
It's like walking on the rafters.
Cui Nanxi was a little surprised.
It wasn't that he was surprised that the cat was walking casually on the iron chain. The iron chain was much thicker than a normal iron chain, as big as the mouth of a bowl. It swayed slightly at a close distance. It was amazing for the cat to walk on it, but it was understandable. What surprised him
On the contrary, this cat's courage and intelligence made it seem like he was not afraid of the cliff at all, and he seemed to be able to understand what they were saying.
Maybe it really understands human speech.
However, it was only stable in the immediate vicinity. When it reached the center, the sway of the iron chain intensified, making it impossible for even a cat to walk away like this.
Cui Nanxi thought so and looked at Song You.
But I only heard this Taoist say respectfully:
"Miss Sanhua, please go first."
This cat seems to be called Sanhua Empress.
The name is quite interesting.
But didn't he have any idea of calling her back?
Just when Cui Nanxi was surprised, the cat really looked away, took small steps, walked on the iron rope as if it were on flat ground, and walked forward.
The cat itself is small. Once it goes far away, it becomes a small dot on the iron rope. When the clouds and mist blow, it immediately disappears.
Only then did he realize that at some point, the wind here seemed to have calmed down, and the iron rope had also calmed down and stopped shaking.
I'm afraid this cat is really no ordinary cat!
This gentleman must also be an expert in Taoism!
But the cat has an easy life, how will the husband survive?
All three people in the group looked at Song You.
But they saw this Taoist smiling, bowing his hands to them, saying "take the first step", and then he also stepped up the iron rope - as light as walking on flat ground, just walking casually, his feet were steady.
Every step he took was on the iron rope, and he didn't even have to look at the road.
He also carried a small package.
It's as if the iron cables are embedded or painted on the ground, and the cliffs on both sides are just a cover-up, they are actually flat ground.
It's really walking on flat ground.
"..."
Cui Nanxi's expression was stiff for a moment.
The guards beside him were also stunned.
Gradually, the figure blurred in the clouds and mist, and it was vaguely visible that he finally stopped and looked back at them. The mountain wind blew a gust of fog, and he was completely invisible.
"us……"
Cui Nanxi started beating the drum in her heart again.
I originally thought that the other party was similar to me, so I could borrow the courage and calmness of the other party to inspire myself. But now I found that the other party was a really capable person, and problems that I thought were life and death horrors were just ordinary to the other party.
There is only one road, so the courage and calmness that I borrowed just now disappeared out of thin air.
That gentleman is not afraid because he has the ability to walk on cliffs and iron ropes as if he were walking on flat ground.
What about yourself?
That gentleman did not fall to death because of his ability.
What about yourself?
Waist ropes are not necessarily safe either.
Cui Nanxi once again began to struggle with the issue of whether to back down.
After finally reaching this point, do I want to go back? Is the path of seeking immortality that I have imagined for a long time interrupted here like other ordinary people? Then what is the difference between me and them?
If you don’t go back, won’t everything be lost if you fall to death?
"call……"
The wind started to blow again and the iron rope started to sway again.
"Official..."
The guard beside him asked cautiously: "We..."
It's funny to say that there is clearly a conflict between heaven and man in my heart, and the people around me asked this question, but there was almost no hesitation, so I waved my hand and said:
"I'll go first!"
He just gritted his teeth when speaking.
I remembered what my friend said to me when I first heard about Yunding Fairy Mountain -
Those who are timid and hesitant cannot seek immortality.
To put it bluntly, it’s not just that you can’t find immortals?
There are many things that cannot be done!
…
After passing this cliff, you will reach the top of Yunding Mountain.
There is little soil here, and the entire top of the mountain is almost made of exposed stones. Only the most stubborn weeds and the tallest pine trees can grow between the cracks of the stones.
The fog seemed to only exist between the cliffs. After passing the cliffs, it was clear.
The entire top of Yunding Mountain is in front of you.
The cold wind howled, sending a bone-chilling chill.
Song You sat cross-legged on the ground and waited quietly.
The calico cat was licking its fur hard next to it.
There is a faint sound of swaying iron ropes in the fog, and sometimes there are exclamations. Only then can the calico cat temporarily stop licking its fur, stretch its neck and look into the fog to see who is there.
Did he fall or was he simply screamed out of fright?
I hope it fell down and it would be more interesting.
I also hope that I didn’t fall and lived a better life.
Oops, it’s so confusing.
However, figures gradually emerged from the fog.
The two figures were one behind the other, with a rope wrapped around their bodies, and the other end of the rope was looped around the iron rope. They hung upside down on the iron rope, using their hands and feet together, and slowly climbed over.
Every time the iron rope shook, there were exclamations of surprise.
In the middle, Cui Nanxi slipped and slipped several times. If it weren't for the waist rope, he would have been shattered to pieces.
The two finally climbed over.
Cui Nanxi, who was climbing in front, was not only out of breath from exhaustion, but also scared out of his mind. After climbing the iron rope, he only gasped for air with his mouth open and eyes wide open. His face was pale, and he didn't even have the strength to climb ashore. He held the iron rope and rested for a while.
Seeing that Song You, who had already crossed the cliff, showed no intention of helping him, he steeled himself, gritted his teeth, climbed up, and untied his waist rope.
Climbing in a hurry, stay away from the cliff!
Then he sat directly on the ground, his upper body fell down, and he lay down, his eyes filled with the sky.
I don't know what he is thinking at this moment.
After a moment, he actually laughed.
At first, he just grinned, but then he gradually made a sound, and the sound gradually became louder, echoing in Yunding Mountain.
"Hahaha……"
"Those who know others are wise, those who know themselves are wise, those who conquer others are powerful, and those who conquer themselves are strong." The Taoist voice came from the side, "Congratulations."
"Thanks to Mr...."
"It has nothing to do with me. After I pass the rope, every bit of courage left in my heart belongs to myself." Song You said, "If I can pass the rope, what are the ups and downs in life?"
"Then do you think I can find the immortal?"
"Maybe."
"Then if I write an article when I go back, it might be passed down through the ages?"
"Maybe."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Cui Daguan continued to throw his head back and laugh.
Song You also smiled.
Not long after, the laughter stopped abruptly, and the official stood up and looked up at Yunding Mountain.
"Sir, please!"
"please……"
Three people and a cat climbed up the mountain.
There was absolutely no way out at this point.
Moreover, this mountain is very steep, bare, and has a rounded surface. It is more like a huge stone than a mountain. The surface shows a light yellow color, like a stone mountain with ink blurred in a landscape painting.
On such a mountain, Song You can walk naturally, but the others have to use both hands and feet, and have to work hard to find the climbing route. Otherwise, if you are not careful, the top of your head will become vertical, and you will not be able to climb up.
It's annoying to go up and down but not be able to go back down.
What's even more amazing is that there are countless stone carvings on the mountain.
These stone carvings have covered the mountain for countless years. The wind day and night has long blurred its shape, and even blown the outline of the stone carvings into horizontal lines. From these undulating lines,
Another outline full of age is revealed in the horizontal lines. It can be vaguely distinguished, and it is a human figure standing, sitting, flying, or dancing. It seems to have a different charm.
Maybe Feng is also a master of stone carving.
Cui Nanxi admired and sighed while stretching his neck to look around, hoping that if he turned a corner or climbed to another level, he would see the immortal standing in front of him, smiling at him.
Then he invited himself to drink and talk for eternity.
It's a pity that I couldn't see it...
Maybe I'm out of luck.
Cui Nanxi thought regretfully.
But soon I felt——
Even if you can't find an immortal on this trip, it will be a worthwhile trip if you can climb over the iron rope that has stumped so many people looking for immortals and get to know a master of Taoism like Mr. Song.
So I felt better again.
Thank you to the leader of the "qamda" boss, bow and show your chest!
