The two of them came out of Xianyuan Temple and didn't go far when they suddenly stopped again. As if they were attracted by something, they raised their heads and looked into the distance.
It is indeed foggy and rainy in Yishan in summer. The peaks on the mountain spend more time hiding and less time revealing themselves. Today it is rare to have a sunny day, and the clouds and mists blocking the distant sky are suddenly blown away by the wind.
I saw a shadow of a person on the top of the mountain, as if they were playing chess and talking, and there seemed to be a boy standing beside him with a gourd on his back to wait on him.
"Senior brother, look!"
The junior sister raised her finger and pointed in that direction and said to Lin Jue.
"Saw it."
This is the second time the two of them have seen the figure of a god on Tiandu Peak since they went up the mountain.
"Senior brother, tell me, are there real people or phantoms up there?" The little junior sister looked at that direction blankly and asked, "Seventh senior brother told me that some famous mountains and unique places have mysterious auras or mysterious charms.
Because there are other strange things that are difficult to explain, the pictures from the past will be left behind, or the sounds from many years ago will be left behind."
"have no idea."
"If he were a real person, would he be a god?"
"have no idea."
"Senior brother, do you still remember? Not long after we went up the mountain, we also came out of the Immortal Source Temple and saw the immortals on the sky. I told you that they were the immortals on the mountain." The younger junior sister said again.
"Of course I remember."
"We also said that when we become more advanced and have free time, we will climb up the mountain to have a look and look for immortals." The junior sister was a little regretful, "But we never saw the immortals again and never went."
How could Lin Jue not remember?
It's just that compared to the two young girls who just went up the mountain to practice Taoism, and were ignorant and longing for things like cultivating Taoism and immortals, now they already have a relatively low level of Taoist cultivation, and they are more interested in cultivating Taoism and immortality.
I know a lot about him and even saw the True King in Heaven with my own eyes.
After seeing clearly, my state of mind naturally changed. Instead, I was not as excited and confused as before. When I saw those two figures, I was shocked that they were really gods. They were like people from the mountains who were bent on finding immortals.
That kind of simple thought is really nostalgic.
But you can also go and look for it.
Even if the possibility of it being a deity is very low, if it is a deity, it may no longer be as reverent, yearning, exciting and surprising as before. You can still go and look for it, and your original dream will be fulfilled.
"Just today!"
"OK!"
The little junior sister's eyes lit up immediately.
It's still early today, and there's still a lot of time before dark.
Although Lin Jue has been busy with various chores recently, repairing bean soldiers, learning spells, learning Fuji from Sixth Senior Brother, and looking for Jixian, he is not busy today, and there is no need to rush today.
It just so happened that both of them had enough skills at this time.
Looking at the mountain top and misty clouds in the distance, looking at the two figures on the top of the mountain who looked like gods, not sure whether they were real or fake, I found a way and walked away quickly.
…
The two of them, a fox and a cat, passed by the forest sea of ​​strange peaks, walked on the top of a rocky mountain that looked like a fish, passed under a rock that looked like a peacock, walked around the lotus mountainside, and came to the gentler side of Tiandu.
At that time, the Seventh Senior Brother had not yet told them about "the road that ordinary people can climb up there", but the two of them had already traveled through Yishan many times, and they could also find this side.
I saw that this is a nearly vertical rocky mountain slope. Even if stone steps are built in the future, it will probably look like it goes straight up to the sky. At this time, there are no stone steps at all. It is smooth, but the mountain is more or less
There are also some slopes, which can be seen from the weeds growing on it and the old pines sticking out.
The two looked at each other, said nothing, and climbed up.
The junior sister stuffed the colorful raccoon into her arms and crawled at the front, with Lin Jue following behind, and at the back was the fox as if it was walking on flat ground.
A mountain with this slope, even if it is only one foot high, would put most people away. But the end of this mountain cannot be seen at all. It is conceivable that if you step on it and slip, you will be shattered to pieces.
"Brother, be careful!"
The junior sister did not use the stone cutting method to carve out a pit that could be used for stepping on, because the granite looked smooth, but the surface was actually a bit rough, and there was a slope, so they could climb up with their skills.
Occasionally, in really steep places, there are branches of plants sticking out, as if they were specially provided with hands.
I can climb, but it's very tiring.
Physical strength is slowly depleted.
Time seems to be moving slower and slower.
Lin Jue was surprised to find that his junior sister seemed to have better physical strength than him. He couldn't help but gasp slightly, but she remained calm.
Looking up, I still can't see the top of the mountain, but I can see the blue sky and clouds along the stone slope, as if this is where the stone slope leads. And my junior sister blocks most of the top of the mountain and the sky.
Lin Jue seemed to have discovered just now——
The little junior sister has grown a lot taller.
Maybe it was because of the Taoism and the fact that she arranged the food well for them most of the time in the Taoist temple, so she ate so much that she actually grew a lot longer.
The frail girl who was following the master that I met on the roadside has long since grown up.
I just realized it later.
"Brother!"
The junior sister stretched out her hand from the front again.
"good."
Lin Jue was pulled by her.
I originally thought we were reaching the top, but I didn’t expect it to be just a platform halfway up the mountain. It was an uneven spot on the mountainside when viewed from a distance. There was still a long section ahead, and the top of the mountain was smaller and the slope was steeper.
The two stopped here for a while.
Only the fox didn't know what they were tired of. He looked at them curiously for a while, then walked to the edge of the dangerous cliff and looked up at the overlapping green mountains in the distance.
After a while, continue going up.
Because it was getting steeper and more dangerous, the fox simply walked to the front and was responsible for walking on the mountain wall, looking for a gentler route on the mountain that would be easier for them to climb up.
Junior sister finally used the stone method.
In fact, there are some sections of the road that are completely vertical, with neither stone steps nor handholds. If there are no depressions for stepping on and grabbing, no one except the little fox can walk up them.
Before I knew it, I had entered the clouds and mist.
The sight was blocked and the green mountains in the distance were no longer visible.
Climbing out of the blur of clouds and fog, we walked for a while through the mountain rocks above the clouds, with blades and fish backs, as if we were finally reaching the top.
Because the mountain they are climbing has become very small.
Moreover, I could faintly hear voices:
"Qingsong Dao Friendly Chess..."
"A risky move, a risky move."
After Lin Jue and his junior sister heard this, one raised his head and the other lowered his head, with surprise in their eyes.
There actually seems to be someone on the top of the mountain?
Take a breather and continue climbing to the top of the mountain.
When they were at the bottom of the mountain, they could see the top of the mountain looming, but when they climbed here, the surroundings were already covered in thick fog, and they could only see each other clearly, while the ancient pines on the cliffs farther away were looming.
The fox was also invisible.
"Senior brother..."
Suddenly, the little junior sister who had been crawling in front stood up straight, turned to look at him, and called him in a low voice, as if she was afraid of disturbing someone.
Lin Jue knew that the top was already the top.
It was obvious that I had already made some calculations in my mind before, but when I heard that voice now, I still couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Now you can know whether the gods on the top of the mountain that you saw twice below are real people or phantoms, whether they are Taoist hermits or mountain spirits, whether they are real people or gods.
Lin Jue grabbed her hand again and pressed hard.
The body has reached the top of the mountain.
The fox has been waiting here for a long time.
There is nothing further up.
I saw that the top of the mountain was narrow and dangerous, and there was not much distance. The clouds and fog were still thick, and the line of sight was severely restricted. Only the two of them and the fox could be clearly seen.
However, you only need to take two steps to the edge, and you can see the vertical cliffs and ancient pines growing on the cliffs. If you take one wrong step, you will be facing billowing clouds and mist and an abyss.
But I couldn't see any gods at all.
The wind blows away the fog, and my ears are filled with the sound of wind, but there are sounds of falling stones and voices in the wind:
"Fellow Taoist Qingsong thinks, how many more years can this world last?"
The sound seemed to be coming from the left.
The two looked at each other, took two steps to the left, and soon saw a cliff.
"I'm afraid it will take more than ten years."
The voice came from the right again.
The two were surprised and looked to the right, but they couldn't see anything and instead walked to the edge of the cliff again.
The fox obviously heard it and felt confused. He began to jump up and down the mountain lightly and kept searching, but still couldn't find the source of the sound.
Caili also poked her head out of Junior Sister's arms, her eyes wide open, looking left and right.
Lin Jue stood still, only looking at his junior sister.
Junior sister also looked at him with a puzzled look.
"I'm afraid that even if someone's life is extended, they won't be able to give this world a few more years."
The sound came from the front again.
Where does this sound come from? And when did it come from?
The two stopped searching and listened intently.
"Why should we extend our lives? The world is already like this, and it is not the prosperous times it once was. People in most places are in dire straits. What's the point of extending your life for another ten or twenty years? It's just repetition and suffering."
"But isn't it much better in the prosperous times? It's all used for conquests here and there."
"If we didn't conquer the east and west during the prosperous times, how could we survive until now?" The voice paused for a moment, seemed to have missed another beat, and sighed, "Isn't this as good as you and me?"
"how?"
"Look, how wonderful it was when I was young. Every day was full of fun. Every new thing I saw was interesting. It was the same with magic and the mortal world. Every moment was like gold. At that time, I wanted to become an immortal, and I wanted to live longer.
, they have spent their golden days practicing hard and praying for a long time. Now it can barely be considered a long time, but fellow Taoist Huangshi, look at us now, one year seems like one day."
"More than a year is like a day. The prosperity and decline of the world for hundreds of years can only be recalled in a dream."
"The wind was more pleasant when I was a teenager."
"But when you and I were young, how could we come here and get such a gust of wind?"
"yes!"
"Huh?"
"Isn't there a young man here?"
When Lin Jue and the two heard this, their eyes suddenly froze.
It turned out that they were still thinking and communicating with their eyes to see if the sound was, as Brother Seventh said, an image and sound of the past left by the famous mountain, an echo from history. They were even thinking about which era they were talking about came from.
Dynasty, how many years ago did their emotion come from.
Only after hearing this sentence did I know——
The two of them are not in history.
Right now!
This voice does not come from the past.
That's it!
The two turned their heads again and looked around, but they still saw only thick clouds and mist.
And the voice started laughing:
"Haha, fellow Taoist Qingsong, tell me, are these two here to find the gods, or are they here to see the scenery?"
The owner of the voice seemed to be on the top of the mountain with them, but also seemed to be far away. He seemed sure that Lin Jue and the others would not be able to find them, and he was talking calmly and calmly.
"Why should we care? The mountains, the wind, the moon, and the magnificent scenery in the clouds have no owner. Let's just leave. Don't block other people from looking for gods and enjoying the scenery."
"It's a pity that the chess game hasn't been played yet, and the fairy fruit I personally picked has not been eaten yet."
"Why should you be so sorry, fellow Taoist? It's still a long time, and the chess will be played next year. As for this fairy fruit, haha, no matter how much you and I eat, what's the use? It's better to leave it to the young people who are destined, haha."
"Oh! That makes sense!"
"Hahaha……"
The two of them smiled and seemed to have left.
Lin Jue quickly looked around. Just when he was debating whether or not to say that the two of them had no intention of disturbing their leisurely game and ask them to continue having fun, and even when he was about to say that he and the two could leave, the thick fog covering the top of the mountain was easily blown away by the high-altitude wind.
Blown away.
Known as the "City in the Sky", this dangerous mountain reveals the true appearance of the top of the mountain, as well as the magnificent sunset view of the mountains in the distance.
Only then did the two of them realize that just three steps away from them, there was a stone table with a chessboard carved on it, and two empty stone chess baskets on it. There were two fruits left on them, and a few fell on the ground.
The fruit core, blown by the mountain wind, rolled down the cliff and bounced to nowhere.
The blue sky above our heads is so vast, and thousands of miles of green mountains are at our feet.
"this……"
The little junior sister was at a loss and could only look at her senior brother.
Lin Jue also stood there in a daze.
Everything I had thought in my mind before was overturned.
After a long time, the little junior sister asked him blankly: "Brother, is this a god?"
"Yeah..."
"Are there really gods on the mountain?"
"yes……"
"But why did the gods give us two fairy fruits?"
"Because he is a god..."
Lin Jue recalled the tone of the two gods before, and felt that they seemed not to leave these two fairy fruits to the young people who met by chance, but to the young themselves.
The feeling in his heart at this time is hard to describe. It's like walking into the most commonly heard fairy tale. It's an accidental encounter, a wonderful fate, and a gift without any expectation of return. And he doesn't even want to use a real person, so
To describe them as being able or as gods, I just want to say that they are true gods.
If this is not a fairy, what can it be called?
Chapter completed!
