The Yongliang Mountains have peaks reaching tens of thousands of feet, and are extremely steep and steep.
In this large mountain, the ground veins are complex and twist and turn. Many of them are deep mountains, deep valleys, and isolated cliffs. Not only that, the vegetation in the mountain is extremely prosperous, and the old forests are overlapping. Let’s not forget about the poisonous miasma in the dense forest, but there are all kinds of unknown
There are countless famous beasts and insects.
The vast and desolate land is difficult for birds to cross. Someone once sighed: "Yongliang Mountain has not been crossed for a hundred years, but the road in the mountain has been paved for thousands of years!"
The mountain road - refers to an ancient road that traverses the mountains. It is difficult to open such a road in a mountain that cannot be crossed for a hundred years, and it may take thousands of years.
The ancient road passes through mountains and ridges, and is full of dangers. The entire road is carved out of cliffs. Ordinary people do not dare to travel easily, and even those warriors with noses raised to the sky are cautious!
It is almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the mountains are full of greenery, with few autumn colors.
Tilting—!
The crisp sound of hoofbeats echoed down the uneven stone road, still maintaining a somewhat leisurely rhythm.
"Uncle Li, it's difficult to walk on this mediocre ancient road. It's in the barren mountains and wild mountains. Why do we have to take this road?"
A group of more than a dozen riders lined up on the mountain road. The people on the horses were all dressed up and had short hair. They were all introverted, with bulging temples. There was a strong aura about them. At first glance, they were martial arts practitioners.
people!
Strictly speaking, the mounts under their crotches are not horses. Instead, they look half like horses and half like deers.
The huge horses have a pair of antlers on their heads, just like the branches of old locust trees and ancient cypresses, and they are full of majesty. Their bodies are also a bit taller than the most powerful horses. They are covered with deer patterns and spots, and they walk with a high posture.
The pace is elegant and cannot be tamed by ordinary people!
"Yes." Someone else echoed, "In recent years, banditry has been rampant. Not far ahead, we should reach the boundary of Qiangren Ridge. These evil bandits are not easy to deal with. Let's leave Yangguan Avenue alone.
Come on, why bother coming here to provoke them?"
The person called 'Uncle Li' is a middle-aged man at the forefront of the team. His name is 'Li Xingpeng', and he is the leader of the group.
Li Xingpeng has a resolute face, and many premature wrinkles have appeared on his cheeks. Years of walking outside have left indelible marks on his face, and he is like a piece of granite standing in the wind!
This is what he is proud of:
As a deacon of the outer sect of Luyang Mountain, I have traveled all over the country. What storms and waves have I not seen in these years? Although I have never dealt with this group of ruthless bandits entrenched in the mountains, I will never be frightened by a few thieves.
"Hmph!" Before the man could finish speaking, he scolded with disdain: "What are you afraid of! They are just a bunch of thieves who can only use some dirty tricks to earn some false reputation. If they are not in the sect,
Those unflattering rules, give me a hundred rock climbers and wall walkers, and I can destroy them in one day!"
"Uncle Master, you are away from the gate all the year round and travel in the north. You don't know much about Yongliang Mountain. This Qiangren Ridge is different from other places. The ruthless bandits in the mountain are the strongest, and the surrounding bandits have to attack them every year.
They surrender!"
"I've also heard that there seems to be a town in this mountain. Those who can get in are all criminal thieves who are full of evil. It is said that the founder of the town is a great master. It's better for us to be careful. This is a serious matter. If something goes wrong
, wouldn’t it ruin the reputation of our Luyang Mountain?”
In the middle of the team, there was an 'antler-striped beast' with no people sitting on its back. Instead, it carried a wooden box on both sides. It was not large in size, but it was guarded by a group of people in the middle.
"Okay, okay!" Li Xingpeng waved his hands in disgust, his tone full of arrogance, "Just by the tattoos on our clothes and the mounts on our crotches, anyone with eyes will recognize that we are disciples of Luyang Mountain. From birth to now.
, I haven’t heard of anyone who dares to make Luyang Mountain uncomfortable!”
Seeing Li Xingpeng's unkind expression, someone learned the lesson this time and hurriedly said: "Yes, Uncle Li is right. The thieves who dare to rob Luyang Mountain have not yet been born!"
The scenery in the mountains is magnificent and varied, and the difference between one step and one step is often a huge difference. The green vegetation covers the halberd-like peaks, and in the haze, it looks particularly unreal.
The ancient road is two feet wide. One side is close to a cliff, and the other side is a dark valley. It is unclear how deep it is. Due to its age and disrepair, it is extremely winding, so the speed of everyone moving forward is not very fast. But even so
, it’s also several days’ journey faster than other major roads!
Suddenly, the mountain road ahead turned and became narrower. And at that turning point, there was a three or four-year-old Loli sitting on the cliff, fiddling with the corners of her clothes in boredom.
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned for a moment. Li Xingpeng frowned slightly, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and waved his hand to stop the team.
In the wilderness and distant mountains, he wouldn't be surprised if he ran into a robber, but how could there be a... child here?!
The little loli looks cute, with a face as tender as porcelain, and two braids on her head. After seeing a group of people approaching, she hurriedly clapped her hands and stood up, her big eyes flashing with excitement!
She cleared her throat, and then said to everyone in a sweet voice: "I opened the Chi Mountain, and I picked the Chi trees. If you want to cross the Chi," she said, paused, "Yes, if you want to cross the Chi,
"The ruler has passed..." It seems that he has forgotten the words.
Li Xingpeng's eyes bulged, and his expression immediately became a little weird. The faces of other people were also very exciting, as if they had bumped into a ghost in broad daylight, or even worse than bumping into a ghost. Some people were even dumbfounded.
: "Isn't it?"
This little loli that everyone loves is actually a... robber?
He was full of arrogance when he ran into some ignorant robbers!
Still a tongue-biter.
What she wants to say should be "I built this mountain, I planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, leave money to buy the road". But if you want to imitate people to block roads and rob, you must first learn how to speak.
Come on, why are you so anxious? Besides, there are no trees on the roadside.
"If you want to cross a foot..." Little Loli couldn't remember the last sentence for a moment, and her big eyes turned anxiously. Finally someone couldn't stand it anymore and reminded her: "Could the last sentence be 'leave the money to buy the road'?"
The little Lolita stamped her foot: "Yes! Just keep it to buy road wood (money)!" She wrinkled her little nose as she said that, pretending to be fierce.
"Hahaha! People say that children who grew up in the Yongliang Mountains will cut off paths and rob people when they are born. I didn't believe it before, but now I have learned a lot!" These words caused a burst of laughter, which echoed throughout the mountains.
stop.
The little Loli's face suddenly became a little confused. She was actually ashamed and said angrily: "Laughing, why are you laughing? Be serious, we are robbing now!" Her childish voice made everyone laugh even more wildly.
Li Xingpeng shook his head slowly and couldn't help but smile: "Little baby, where are your adults?" Sure enough, there are many strange things in the mountains and many stories in the wilderness!
Such a scene is probably something he has never dreamed of. Some people hurriedly threatened: "If you don't learn well at a young age, if you stay alone on this wild road, you won't be afraid of being bitten by a bobcat, jackal, and tooth sacrifice?"
The little Lolita was about to say harsh words when suddenly a high-pitched tune sounded in the distance, like a triumphant folk song, which attracted everyone's attention:
The Yongliang Ancient Road has a lot of right and wrong~
A den of robbers since ancient times~
Those who have hands and feet don’t work~
If you don’t eat fast, you won’t recite Buddha~
Be careful, you poor guy running around~
Be careful, travelers coming from north to south~
——
Her voice can't be said to be moving, but it is very immersive. She is howling at the top of her lungs. The lingering sound is vast, melodious and sad, coming from nowhere. In this vast mountain, it doesn't have much charm. Little Lolita
Hearing this song, he burst into laughter.
"It came from above!"
Looking up, I don't know how high the straight cliff is. Unless that person is a great master of martial arts, there is absolutely no way he can get down here from above!
Moreover, it sounds like the person singing is not very old. The melody is nondescript, and the lyrics are even more playful. Gradually, the singing became much closer, and everyone didn’t know how to react:
The Yongliang Ancient Road has a lot of right and wrong~
A refuge for ruthless bandits and thieves~
The King of Heaven is bullshit~
Master, I’m not hungry even after I’m full~
Run quickly, you poor guy walking from the northeast to the west~
Run quickly, travelers traveling from south to north~
——
Looking far into the distance, I found a black spot diagonally above the cliff approaching quickly, and the singing was coming from that direction.
Li Xingpeng first said "Huh", as if he felt something was wrong, and then his expression changed drastically, and he felt as if he had been struck by thunder. Others still didn't know what was going on, but with a "scratching" sound, the saber on his waist was already gone.
He took out his sheath and roared with all his strength:
"alert--!"
Because he gradually saw clearly that the so-called black spot on the cliff was actually a black mountain tiger!
The tiger's body is as strong as that of a bull, and it is more than one circle larger than an ordinary tiger. Its limbs are extremely flexible. It prances on the nearly vertical cliffs like flying, as if walking on flat ground, and attacks here, making the viewer tremble with fear!
