Landscape of Mountains and Rivers of Salted Fish

After Le Qianqiu said goodbye to Qiu Yong, he continued to walk forward. The trees in the forest were very lush, and only a little sunlight came in through the gaps. He walked slowly. The distance that was not far away made him walk for a long time. time.

Finally walked out of the forest, the sunlight outside the forest was a bit dazzling, Le Qianqiu couldn't help covering his eyes with his hands, and it took him a while to get used to it, he took his hands off his eyes, slowly opened them, and what caught his eyes was A mountain taller than any he had seen before.

Le Qianqiu froze on the spot for a while, he looked up, his neck was sore, and he saw the top of the mountain beyond the clouds, and he could faintly see pavilions and pavilions looming in the clouds, and streams of water fell from the mountain, smashing to the ground at the foot of the mountain. In the lake, a stone ladder spirals up from the foot of the mountain and extends to the end of the cloud.

Le Qianqiu turned his head to look at the dark forest behind him, and at the lake and mountain peaks shining in the sunlight in front of him. Because the forest was too dense, he didn't realize that the mountain was so high.

He said to himself: "It doesn't mean that if ordinary people know it, it must be fake. Even if everyone knows it, it may not be possible to go."

The building on the top of the mountain should be the fairy gate in the legend. It is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people to build it in that kind of place. Le Qianqiu suddenly became motivated again. He looked at the endless stairs and saw nothing. It's easy to say, let's go.

Walking on the stairs, Le Qianqiu soon discovered something new. The stairs spiral upwards. On the side of the mountain wall, you can see a stall selling things at intervals. The price is much more expensive than that at the bottom of the mountain. , when Le Qianqiu was resting, he sat by a booth and chatted with the owner.

"It's very hard to set up a stall here, and you have to climb such a high mountain every day."

The stall owner is a talkative person. He said with a smile: "Why don't you work hard? All the stalls here are from our area. We live not far from here, but it is far from the town. Instead of pulling things If you go to a town, it’s better to come here and sell it, and you can still sell it for a price.”

Le Qianqiu asked curiously: "How did it get there? It will take at least a day or two to reach the top of the mountain."

The stall owner waved his hand and said, "It's not just one or two days, but three or four days, but we rarely go down the mountain. Have you seen this?" Then the stall owner took out a frame with a long rope from behind. , "We all use frames to transport things up bit by bit. The people below give it to me, and I give it to the people above. It's much faster than walking."

Le Qianqiu had almost rested, he stood up and patted the dust off his clothes, and asked the stall owner: "Is there really a fairy gate on the top of this mountain?"

The stall owner still smiled, and said to Le Qianqiu: "Go up and have a look and you'll know."

That's right, Le Qianqiu continued to climb up. At the beginning, there were still some people around. Many of the people who climbed with Le Qianqiu went back after climbing for a while. At the time, even the vendors were gone, and when he was about to climb to the top of the mountain, he was the only one left.

Tired from walking, Le Qianqiu found a rock and sat down, beside the abyss, he looked around and could vaguely see a city far away, but he didn't know what it was.

Although you can see it from here, I don’t know how long it will take if I really want to go there: "If only I could fly with a sword, I can go anywhere easily. The world is so big, I really need to walk there by foot When will we go?"

Le Qianqiu sighed, looked at the scenery in front of him for a while, he stood up and continued to walk up, what is the top of the mountain like?

After walking for a long time, the stairs finally disappeared, replaced by a platform, there were some people on the platform, they gathered in twos and threes, some were talking and laughing, some were eating, some were enjoying the scenery quietly, other than that There is nothing else.

Standing on the edge of the platform, Le Qianqiu felt that he had been deceived. How could so many of my houses have disappeared? He looked around and then was stunned again. This time, it was not because of the beautiful scenery he saw, but because he He found that there were several higher mountains behind this mountain, and the pavilions and pavilions he had seen before appeared on another mountain.

Playing, not leaving, Le Qianqiu sat on the ground angrily, now he does not doubt that there is a fairy gate here, there is indeed, and he is not afraid of being found by ordinary people at all, because even if he sees it, he can't find it at all.

Le Qianqiu sat for a while, then walked to the railing, leaned on the railing to look at the scenery, although the fairy gate was not found, but the scenery is really good, I don't know who repaired the stairs and the railing, it is also very powerful, built on such a high on the hill.

After looking at the scenery, Le Qianqiu opened the map and planned to see where to go next. Since the fairy gate could not be found, he could only do the mission first, but being unable to fly is really a flaw. Far places are enough for him to walk for a long time.

When he opened the map, he found a sign nearby that was different from the others. He searched the list of signs below and found that this sign turned out to be the sign of a cultivator. Suddenly, the sign moved, and Le Qianqiu looked at it nervously. He followed the sign on the map, and then saw that sign and walked to his side.

Le Qianqiu turned off the map, and cautiously looked to his left from the corner of his eye, where the sign was located. He saw a young man wearing a bamboo hat, holding a branch in his mouth, and wearing a commoner suit. He is more like a chivalrous man than a cultivator.

He leaned on the railing in the same posture as Le Qianqiu, looking into the distance.

So here comes the question, how can he persuade him to take him to Xianmen, Le Qianqiu is very nervous now, if he can't say well, he will fly away, and the next time he meets a cultivator, I don't know when it will be.

But if he keeps silent, he will definitely leave after a while, so let's try to strike up a conversation first.

After making a draft in his heart, Le Qianqiu turned his head to look at the man, he shouted "Hi", the man turned his head to look at Le Qianqiu, Le Qianqiu's nervous brain went blank for a moment, and he forgot what he was going to say just now He swallowed, and said, "Why are you here." It sounded like a question.

Seeing the man's doubtful eyes, Le Qianqiu thought about making amends, and then he said again: "Don't you feel that I am out of place with other people here? You shouldn't be here." You should appear in Xianmen inside.

What am I talking about!Le Qianqiu, who was expressionless when he was nervous, couldn't tell from his appearance that he was in a mess in his heart. From the outside, he seemed to be questioning that person.

The man looked around, and then looked at Le Qianqiu again. Le Qianqiu couldn't say a word, but just stared at him blankly, wondering if the person opposite was angry, although there was nothing on him. With a sword, but maybe he has a storage ring, maybe he will take out a sword from it in a while to kill himself.

The imagined murder did not happen, the man raised his eyebrows and laughed: "It really shouldn't be here, I need a reminder from fellow Taoist, so why did fellow Taoist come here?"

The man's mouth didn't move, the voice directly reached Le Qianqiu's mind, it felt so advanced, but what did he mean, did he think he was also a cultivator?This is a big misunderstanding, but Le Qianqiu didn't intend to explain it, this is a good opportunity, let him pretend to be a true decorator first, let him take him to the fairy gate, and when he arrives at the fairy gate to worship the teacher, isn't he a real cultivator.

Le Qianqiu thought for a while, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I am in penance, and everything I do and think is no different from ordinary people."

The man widened his eyes, as if he heard something very strange, he said: "Aren't you afraid of being contaminated with karma? I thought I was outrageous, but I didn't expect there to be even more outrageous like you, so you suppressed it." With all your cultivation, you can make yourself look like a real mortal? I admire this kind of willpower." The man did not transmit the sound again, but said in a very low voice like Le Qianqiu.

Le Qianqiu was a little dazed, he didn't quite understand what that person said about cause and effect, but it seemed that he should have passed it by. Now that his identity had been passed by, the next step was how to let him take him to the fairy gate.

Since this person appeared here, there is a high probability that it is related to the fairy gate in this mountain range. Do you want to deceive him first? Just when Le Qianqiu was thinking about what to say, the person spoke first: "Fellow Daoist? I also came here for this Elder Yunqingshan Qimai."

No, I want to come to learn from a teacher to cultivate immortals.Of course, Le Qianqiu couldn't say that.Although he didn't know what he was talking about, Le Qianqiu still responded: "Exactly, I just came here on foot, I don't know how long it will take to get there, it would be bad if I missed it."

The man asked: "Could it be that fellow Taoist came up from the bottom of the mountain?" Le Qianqiu nodded, and the man continued: "It's really a lot of perseverance. If there is a chance, I would like to try this kind of penance. Maybe there will be something wrong. Same payoff."

The man suddenly turned his head and looked up at the sky: "Fellow Daoist, if you keep walking like this, you will definitely miss it, why don't you let me take you fellow Daoist for a ride."

Le Qianqiu didn't expect him to bring it up on his own initiative, but this is naturally the best. Although he was about to jump up for joy, Le Qianqiu showed embarrassment on the bright side: "In terms of practice, it's really not good, but if you mistakenly It’s even worse if something big happens, then fellow Daoist Lao will give me a ride.”

The man laughed heartily: "Fellow Daoist, it's very troublesome to call you fellow Daoist. My name is Zeng Xingzhu. I don't know what your name is."

Le Qianqiu also smiled: "My name is Wan Qianqiu, you can just call me Qianqiu."

"Okay, let's go, Brother Qianqiu."

"You don't need to add brother, just call me Qianqiu. Brother Qianqiu sounds awkward, so I'll call you Xingzhu."

Le Qianqiu saw Zeng Xingzhu wave his big hand, and a long sword appeared in front of them, but the people around did not respond at all, it must be Zeng Xingzhu used some kind of blindfold.

Next, Le Qianqiu encountered another problem. Standing on such a thin sword and flying, would it fall off? Soon he had an answer, the answer was that it would fall off. This sword is long enough for two people to stand on it. Zeng Xingzhu asked Le Qianqiu to stand in front and himself to stand behind.

At the moment when the sword took off, Le Qianqiu almost fell down. He steadied his body and said with a forced smile: "It's been a long time since I have used the sword, so I'm a little rusty." Seeing himself getting farther and farther away from the ground , Le Qianqiu regretted more and more, what fun is there in Yujian, it's better to be down-to-earth.

A trace of inquiry flashed in Zeng Xingzhu's eyes: "Qianqiu dares to use his feet to walk all over the world of mortals, his perseverance is indeed extraordinary."

Le Qianqiu could no longer hear the sound of the outside world at this time, he devoted himself to maintaining his balance, it was too high, and the wind whizzed past him, he no longer wanted to cultivate immortality.

Le Qianqiu, who was afraid of falling, did not realize that Zeng Xingzhu was not heading towards the side where he saw the building, but flew towards the other side. He didn't know when he would be able to reach the depths of the mountains when he walked. Yujian arrived in a short while. .

Although the flight time is not long, Le Qianqiu feels like a century has passed, his clothes have already been wet with cold sweat, Zeng Xingzhu looks at Le Qianqiu with more doubts in his eyes, he doesn't look like a monk at all.

Le Qianqiu has no time to care about other people now, he only feels how happy it is to be down-to-earth.It was quite a while when he found Zeng Xingzhu looking at him, but he wasn't panicking at all now, he was already there anyway.

But thank you is still needed, after all, he brought himself up: "Thank you Xingzhu, you helped me a lot, if there is anything I can do in the future, just say it."

Zeng Xingzhu said: "It's just a trivial matter, nothing to worry about, let's go, let's go in."

They stopped under a stone gate, and Le Qianqiu followed Zeng Xingzhu and walked inside. After walking a small path, his vision suddenly opened up. Le Qianqiu finally saw the real fairy gate, but it was a little different from what he imagined. It's more grand, but it's not as fairy-like as he imagined. It's now covered by dark clouds.

What they came to was only a platform at the entrance. There was a person standing in the middle of the platform. Le Qianqiu couldn't see his specific appearance clearly. That person was standing directly under the dark clouds, or the dark clouds gathered because of him. of.

There were a lot of people around the platform, most likely monks, Le Qianqiu heard two monks not far from him talking.

"This is the first floor of the gathering."

"It's already the seventh floor."

"I'm afraid it's not about gathering up to the ninth floor. Let's go first. If we really gather at the ninth floor, not to mention going to Xiantai, the entire Yunqing Mountain will be destroyed."

The two left with their swords after finishing speaking, and then many people flew away, and the surrounding area of ​​the platform was instantly emptier.

Le Qianqiu looked at the dark clouds, could this be the legendary nine-story sky thunder, the one where only one person survived the calamity?

It seemed that the sense of oppression was quite strong. Le Qianqiu suddenly felt one of the three swords on the back of his waist vibrate. It's not the time.

Zeng Xingzhu looked over, Le Qianqiu pressed the sword with his hand, smiled at him, didn't know what to say, he could only smile, he just wanted to make the sword quiet down quickly.

Zeng Xingzhu glanced at the sword that Le Qianqiu was pressing, and the doubts in his heart were finally dispelled. This sword is obviously spiritual, and a spiritual sword cannot be suppressed by ordinary people. If you can carry three on your body, it must be a monk. As for Yu Jian's strange behavior when he was flying just now, it's not a big problem because there are too many weirdos among the monks.

Le Qianqiu, who didn't know that he almost fell off the horse just now, found that this sword seemed to be a reaction to Lei Yun. At that time, the system said to give him three powers. Could it be that one of them is related to Lei?
