At the foot of Wufu Hill, there were not only monks from all over Bayuan joining in the fun, warriors trying to climb the Dengjing Peak, but also traders from various villages... Outside the mountain gate to the north, traders had already set up tents and various
With simple buildings, businesses can be found wherever there are many people, and most of the people who come here are very wealthy.
Wufu Qiu, one of the nine hills in Bayuan, at the foot of the legendary and famous sacred mountain, has been as lively as a huge market these days, with all kinds of shouts coming from everywhere. Huwa not only frowned secretly when he came here. Everyone
It was soon discovered that the goods in this temporary market were even more complete than those in Hongjin City. All the specialties in this area, including some rare natural and earthly treasures, were on sale, but the prices were also more expensive.
But this kind of "grand occasion" is only limited to a few days before the winter solstice. After today, the monks on Wufu Hill will clear out the place and drive people away. In the mountains and fields where thousands of people have gathered, there is an obvious dividing line. Next to the avenue
There is a huge stone with a huge sword stuck on it. It is hard to imagine what kind of giant must be to be able to hold such a sword.
Judging from the three-foot sword blade exposed outside the boulder, the sword should be more than one foot long. It is said that General Wufu personally inserted it here. It has been exposed to wind and sun for nearly five hundred years.
But there is no trace of rust. This giant sword stuck on the roadside is where the gate of Wufu Hill is. No matter how many people come and how lively it is, no one crosses this invisible boundary.
Looking south from here, there is a majestic mountain peak rising straight into the sky. There is a straight mountain road in front of it, just like the traces of a giant blade that opened the sky. This mountain is the climbing trail.
Peak, that mountain road is the Sky Trail. If you look from a higher altitude, there are five peaks here, and the Sky Trail Peak is at the northernmost.
The mountain to the east is called Chochai Peak, the mountain to the west is called Shenghuo Peak, and the mountain to the south is called Mojian Peak. These are all very primitive and simple names, and the masters on Wufu Qiu all call them so.
But many years later, these three mountains were called Kancai Peak, Chengqi Peak, and Liren Peak respectively. However, the names of the northernmost Dengjing Peak and the central Wufuqiu Peak have never changed.
Climbing paths, chopping firewood, sharpening swords, and making fires are among the four peaks. There are cable bridges connecting them in the clouds. Only by using incredible supernatural powers can we build cable bridges that are beyond the imagination of the world. Walking on the four cable bridges,
Those who are timid will have weak legs and cannot move at all.
There is no bridge between these four peaks and the main peak in the center. Each of them is connected to a solitary long cable. The material of the long cable is neither bamboo, nor wood, nor gold, nor iron, and each is more than three hundred feet long.
It is about the thickness of the mouth of a bowl. The wind on the plateau is very strong, and the long rope on the clouds is always shaking and trembling. It is said that if the handyman disciples want to go to the main peak, they must step on the long rope.
Just looking at those long ropes will make your heart tremble, and you will want to walk over them. If you are not careful, you will fall to pieces. Wufu Qiu chooses his successor, if nothing else, it takes too much courage, right? But there have always been mistakes over the years.
Countless people want to set foot on the Dengjing Peak within the specified time on the winter solstice, either to prove their skills or to become a handyman disciple on Wufu Hill and one day be able to walk through one of the four long ropes.
Wufuqiu opens its gate every winter solstice, and visitors can climb the mountain via the Sky Trail. The time is from the beginning of the day to noon. If you set foot on the Sky Trail within an hour and a half, you will be considered successful.
Huwa and the others came just in time. Not long after they arrived at the bottom of the mountain, everyone started climbing. Wu Yaya couldn't see how many there were, but he looked up anyway. The one-foot-wide mountain path ahead was full of people. Some people were very anxious.
, when the time came, they ran across the boulder with the sword stuck in it; some people seemed very leisurely, and waited until most of the people had almost walked. Then they took their time and stepped onto the path to the sky, such as Tiger
Wa et al.
Most of the people who are not in a hurry are monks from various sects in Bayuan. They have no intention of becoming Wufu Qiu's handyman disciples. They also have their own magical powers. It is not too difficult to climb this mountain in one and a half hours. They just come here.
It was an eye-opener and a fun way to join in the fun. But that was not entirely the case. Walking with Huwa and others were several local men and women. They were setting up stalls just now to sell specialties, but now they had collected their things and started climbing the mountain.
Listening to their conversation, it turned out that they climb once a year. It is not necessary to reach the top within the specified time. You can also set up stalls on the way to sell drinking water and various foods. According to the rules of Wufuqiu, in addition to successfully climbing to the top and being willing to stay and walk around,
Those who serve as disciples will not receive other climbers on the mountain. They will not provide accommodation or food, but they will give the locals an opportunity to do business.
Huwa secretly observed the vitality of these mountain people and found that most of them were in excellent health. Other climbers tried to carry as little as possible, while they followed behind and carried as much as possible. Some even carried folded tents.
After carrying up the mountain, it was obvious that many of them had mastered the power of climbing mountains.
Miss Xiao Sa whispered: "According to my opinion, many of these vendors who follow the large group of people to climb the mountain are the handyman disciples of Wufu Qiu, and there may also be the main disciples of Wufu Qiu. They take this opportunity every year to join in the fun.
, and make a fortune, otherwise how could this climbing path be so easy to climb?"
Huwa didn't say that Miss Sa was overthinking this time, and he thought so. The Wufu Qiu in the southern wilderness of Ba Yuan in the distance seemed unattainable, but when I came here, I found that it was full of life. I really don't know its sect leader.
What kind of person is Senior Jiansha?
When Huwa passed by the huge stone with the long sword stuck in it, he felt a strange feeling. He seemed to hear the sound of the sword in his consciousness. It was not that the huge sword in the stone was really sounding, but that there was something here.
A huge magic circle connects the five mountain peaks as one, and the giant sword in front of the mountain gate is one of the hubs of the formation.
No one has specifically taught Huwa formations, but the Taihao ruins contain the formations set up by Emperor Taihao. The altars, Langgan, Dragon Blood Treasure Tree, including the distribution of rocks and lotus ponds all contain formations.
It is so wonderful that it was once the Yuanshen world in Huwa's state of concentration. Although Huwa still cannot fully understand its wonders, he can understand the mysteries of many formations to some extent.
There should be a mountain-protecting formation set up and down the Wufu Hill. Normally, it does not show much power, but once it encounters a strong enemy, not only the giant sword in the stone will turn into a sharp blade, but even the peaks will appear like towering swords.
Use the magical power of killing. Regardless of whether Wu Fu Qiu is the most powerful sect in Ba Yuan, its fundamental importance is almost impossible to attack.
Huwa's guess was correct. The magic formation he sensed seemed to be no secret. The vendors who were hiking together also talked about it. It turns out that the formation surrounding the five peaks of Wufuqiu is called the Mountain Locking Sword Formation. It can not only be used when encountering strong enemies, but also
It is activated at any time. In normal times, the world's masters are not allowed to fly up to Wufu Mound at will. Unless they are controlling the Wufu Divine Sword, the sword array will naturally activate to intercept it.
In other words, even a transformation master with the ability to fly cannot directly fly up the mountain without Wufuqiu's permission. For Huwa, who has been used to walking on mountain roads since he was a child, there is nothing special about setting foot on the Sky Path.
But for most people in the world, it is too steep to walk calmly, and almost everyone has to use their hands and feet.
It is best not to look back when walking on this road, otherwise you will feel dizzy when climbing the steep wall. As long as you step on the air, you will fall straight down, and there are many people following you.
Of course, the experts on Wufu Qiu would not let such an accident happen. In fact, there is more than one way to go up the mountain, and the Climbing Trail is not considered a road. It is like a huge crack about ten feet wide that opens in the mountain.
Once someone rolls down, a figure will flash by the roadside to catch him. Not only is he afraid that the person will fall to death, but he will not let him hit the people below.
After walking a short distance, Huwa could see the horizontal mountain road next to it, which was winding and gentle. Some vendors had already unloaded their burdens and set up stalls at the intersection, mainly selling water and fruits to quench their thirst. During the winter solstice, Wufu Qiu is very popular.
On the plateau, you can actually buy sweet and juicy fruits, which are specialties that outsiders cannot name. Hanxiong also bought a lot and invited everyone to try them. They are indeed delicious.
Miss Xiao Sa whispered again: "According to the information I heard, every year on the winter solstice, the disciples on Wufu Qiu will guard both sides of the climbing path, just to prevent climbers from accidents."
Hanxiong took a bite of the green melon in his hand and said: "You just said that there are probably disciples of Wufu Qiu among those vendors, and they are taking this opportunity to make some money. What about the elders on Wufu Qiu? I was just here
An old man bought a cucumber, do you think he is Senior Jian Sha?"
Everyone laughed, and Miss Xiao Sa giggled and said: "Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you! You are thinking too much. Senior Jiansha is such an expert, why would he come out to set up a stall?"
The six of them, headed by Hu Wa, walked leisurely but never stopped. After half an hour, they had already passed many climbers. After all, they all had at least three realms of cultivation. There were many people in front of them.
I ran very fast at first, but after climbing a section of the mountain road I was so exhausted that I retreated to a nearby trail to rest.
Huwa secretly sighed. He hadn't finished half of the mountain road yet. The higher he went, the more difficult it felt. It was impossible for people like these to reach the top within the specified time. Huwa looked at others, and others were also looking at him. There were people beside the road.
Someone commented: "Look, someone even took the dog up the mountain and ran pretty fast!"
Another person said: "What's the point of a dog? Someone just led a monkey there. People who walk this mountain trail every year are so weird that no one is there?"
Before the man finished speaking, Huwa heard the wind. Someone jumped up directly from behind him. When he looked up, he couldn't help but think of the Yu tribe people in his hometown in the wilderness, because this man also had wings on his back. Hong
There are many demon tribes living in the Jincheng area. Just now Huwa heard the comments from others and saw the Minotaur, the Sheep-headed Monster, etc.
Someone shouted: "Look, a Featherman is coming!"
Someone else said: "It would be great if you had wings and could fly. If you have the guts, just fly to Wufu Hill!"
The man from before said: "That person will be cut down by the sword formation."
Another vendor who seemed to be a disciple of Wufu Qiu said: "That's not true. The sword array on the mountain cannot kill flying birds. It can only be triggered by the flying magical power. Even if he flies up directly, it will be fine. But the handyman disciples on Wufu Qiu need to practice
Only those who have mastered martial arts skills can climb the main peak in the future, and it has nothing to do with whether they have wings or not."
Feather people not only refer to the people of the Yu tribe that Huwa has met, but are also the collective name for all the winged demon tribes in Bayuan. The feather people who jumped over just now have their wings spread and are good at gliding and flapping their wings.
It’s no problem to climb this mountain. No wonder I was walking behind Huwa and others at the beginning. (To be continued...)
