Immortality: Start Cultivating Immortality From Pingshan Mountain

 Chen Yulou smiled coldly.

 It seems like he is just saying harsh words.

 But his old friend who had been with him for many years felt like a drum beating in his heart.

The back of the hand holding the reins was too hard, and blue veins gradually appeared.

Especially for the group of people who returned from southern Yunnan, at this moment, the words that the leader said outside Anlong City that day seemed to echo in their ears.

 “I will not avenge the government soldiers who surrounded the building.”

“Isn’t it going to make the world look down upon me, Changsheng Mountain?”

so.

 Late late the next day.

The Tusi city gate was broken open, and the fire almost lit up half the sky.

　　The Peng family, which had seven states in the Miao territory, was destroyed by the Yongshun dynasty in 800 years.

They caused such a disaster just because they were greedy and tried to rob them of hundreds of horses. In the end, their family was ruined and their chieftain was imprisoned.

Although almost half a year has passed since this incident.

 But the rumors didn’t stop at all.

On their way west this time, they passed through the northern Guizhou area again. Countless people were still talking about this matter in the markets, teahouses and taverns.

 The land of Qizhou was divided among the Baimadong Anjia, Cili Zhangjia, and Sangzhixiangjia.

Especially Anjia, because he was closest to the Peng family, it was a blessing in disguise. He was the first to break into Tusi City and occupied the largest and most fertile land.

 Originally ranked last among the four.

 Now it has become the strongest company.

However, with the lessons learned from the Peng family, the An family was quite smart and did not mess around after taking advantage.

 On the one hand, we have good relations with both families.

 The other side is to recuperate and quickly accumulate strength.

It is foreseeable that as long as he does not take the initiative to die, Baimadong Anjia will become the strongest existence in the entire southwest of Guizhou within ten years at most.

 Everyone was there that day.

Now that they heard this again, how could they not understand?

Always keep your word and do what you say, not just talk.

Even the eight-hundred-year-old Tusi Mansion fell apart in an instant.

How much more so a group of bandits blocking the way and robbing?

 “Did you hear everything?”

 “They are just a bunch of autumn grasshoppers, they can only hop around for a few days.”

“Stop your murderous aura and wait until you pass here on your way back. Then you can let go and fight!”

Girl Hong walked out with a nine-section whip in hand, reining in the horse, her eyes swept across the group of thieves, her brows were full of heroism, and she shouted softly.

"yes!"

Everyone felt their blood boiling and replied one after another.

 For a time, the response was like thunder.

"Set off!"

Seeing this situation, Miss Hong looked calm.

 Just wave the long whip in your hand.

A loud bang echoed through the air in all directions.

The cold light on Whip's body was like a waterfall, and the demonic aura surged, sweeping away almost all the falling snowflakes around him.

Hearing this, the team quickly set off with the messenger without further delay.

Mozi Valley and Xingxing Gorge are actually not too far apart, but Mozi Valley is too dangerous, with steep mountains, crisscrossing ravines, and rugged rocks.

 In addition, the Black Mountains are in confrontation with the Wenshu Mountains and the Qilian Mountains.

 Form a long and narrow channel.

 Let alone the camel and horse teams, it was extremely difficult for pedestrians to pass.

Another point.

 Mozigou is often visited by wolves and ferocious beasts.

Therefore, except for local herdsmen who occasionally go to Mozigou to look for lost cattle and sheep, it is inaccessible all year round.

Because of this, traders on the Silk Road would rather wait at Yumen Pass or Jiayuguan than cross Mozigou in Heishan.

  But it’s different now.

 Xingxingxia was occupied by defeated troops.

Although it has the word "xia" in its name, it is actually not a canyon, but a pass.

 located at the junction of Hexi and the Western Regions.

 The only way along the Silk Road.

Compared with the narrowness of Mozi Valley, Xingxing Gorge is much wider and can accommodate camel teams to enter and exit easily. However, both sides of the pass are surrounded by dangerous cliffs and overlapping mountains, so it has been known as the Throat of Hexi since ancient times.

I have to say that the group of defeated soldiers did choose a place.

 Blocking the pass is equivalent to cutting off the Silk Road.

Even if there were several times their number of troops breaking into Xingxing Gorge, they would not be able to withstand the attacks of falling rocks, rolling logs, quicksand and fire.

Not to mention the group of defeated troops, even the artillery was moved to guard the area.

It is not an exaggeration to say that one man can stop ten thousand men.

 This is also the reason why Chen Yulou would rather go around.

 He may be safe and sound, but what about his men?

Two hundred guys can be turned into cannon fodder in an instant, not to mention Kunlun, Red Girl and Kidnapper.

Even if we take Xingxingxia, we will eventually pay an extremely heavy price.

The purpose of this trip is to visit the Kunlun Temple and the ancient city of Jingjue, not to throw human lives halfway.

 Less than half an hour.

 The team finally entered Mozigou.

 The sky and the earth, which seemed to remain the same forever, finally changed colors.

 The undulating mountain cliffs look like they have been splashed with ink and are no longer gray sand dunes.

 Except for mountains, forests and vegetation.

From a distance, the Black Mountain with its many rocks and peaks is somewhat similar to the countless peaks standing like bamboo shoots they saw behind Pingshan Mountain that day.

 It can be seen that this place is indeed deserted.

There are almost no traces of human activity, but there are quite a few footprints left by unknown beasts.

Furthermore, as soon as he entered Mozigou, Chen Yulou was keenly aware of a strong fishy smell. Occasionally, he could see a few withered bones of cattle and sheep among the rocks.

 “Dismount!”

“The road ahead is rough and difficult, and there is a risk of falling off the horse.”

The guy who came first to explore the road stood on the stone and reminded loudly.

Hearing this, everyone dared to delay. They jumped off their horses one after another, grabbed the reins, and walked forward step by step despite the cold wind and snow.

 “Yuan Hong.”

 “Go to the top and look at the road.”

Chen Yulou glanced at the cliffs on both sides, and then his eyes fell on Yuan Hong.

This way, it has almost no sense of presence.

 Most of the time I practice Qi with my eyes closed.

In addition to refining mandrill bones, Xuan Dao's foundation-building skills of subduing qi have also not fallen behind.

 “Yes, Master!”

Hearing Chen Yulou's order, Yuan Hong immediately jumped up from his horse.

As an ape, what it is best at is mountain climbing. At this moment, it is grabbing a protruding rock on the cliff and gently swaying forward. The next moment, the whole person is running three or four meters away.

 The group of waiters looked up with surprise.

The old man who had dealt with it before was fine, but the newcomers who came down the mountain this time had never seen such a scene before, and they kept exclaiming for a while.

 In the blink of an eye.

Yuan Hongren has appeared on the top of the cliff.

Looking back, across the wind and snow, I could vaguely see the pass in the distance, like a gourd mouth, almost a dead place with no way in or out.

It finally understood why the owner chose to go around.

However, this thought only flashed through my mind and was suppressed by it.

Taking a deep breath.

 Tightened his collar again.

At this moment, he stepped on the cliff and ran forward quickly. After a while, he reached the front of the team.

With him watching from a high place, the team's speed suddenly increased.

Mozigou is about three or four miles long.

 Meandering.

 Looking down from a high place, it looks like a big snake twisting forward.

 With the addition of the Montenegro Mountains, it is different from other places.

These ideas together are like wildfire that cannot be extinguished.

 “There is a huge boulder blocking the road ahead, rein up and go around!”

Just when it was thinking wildly, a huge boulder suddenly appeared in the corner of its eye, six or seven feet high, just across the middle of Mozi Valley. If it hadn't been noticed in advance, the horse team would have easily been in trouble.

"good!"

 It reminds me.

 A response quickly came from below.

The team that was originally moving at a fast pace actually slowed down, and their faces became more alert as they faced the wind and snow. Seeing this situation, Yuan Hong couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

  No more thoughts about moving forward.

The horse team went around the boulders blocking the road in sequence. Once they passed, the road ahead of the originally narrow Mozi Valley suddenly opened up a lot.

 The eyes of the guys who were exploring the road couldn’t help but light up.

They were not just on the road, they also brought a large amount of supplies with them. The journey of just one or two miles took more than half an hour. As you can imagine, the road was rugged.

 As long as this is the road ahead.

 It won’t take so much effort.

The leading man took off his water bottle and took a sip. He was about to call the horse team to speed up their pace a little, and crossed over with all his strength. Then he thought of something and subconsciously raised his head.

 After all, it can make those herdsmen avoid it like tigers and kill those who don’t want to come to this ghost place.

 There must be a reason for it.

 So he decided to ask Yuan Hong for his opinion first.

 After all, you can climb high and see far away.

only…

He just raised his eyes, and a strange look appeared on his face.

"What's wrong?"

 The people on the side saw that he looked wrong and couldn't help but ask.

 “It’s not me, it’s Mr. Yuan...”

The guy frowned and raised his hand to point.

Several people finally reacted and looked in the direction of his finger.

I saw Yuan Hong on the top of the cliff. He had stopped at some point and was looking down at something.

 Some people have good eyesight.

Even if there is wind and snow, you can still see the outline.

On the dark cliff, a huge painting appeared.

In the painting, there are countless hunters with bows and arrows, riding on horseback, surrounding a few strong long-antlered deer with their tails raised and their antlers raised. In addition, there are riders on the outside waiting with their bows drawn. It is obviously a scene. Prevent the horned deer from making a desperate counterattack.

 Although it has experienced thousands of years of wind and sand erosion.

However, the carvings on the rock wall are still lifelike, but the original coloring has peeled off a lot. However, even so, instead of weakening its vividness, it has gained a bit more vicissitudes and realm.

"what is that?"

 “Stone carvings on cliffs?”

“It looks like it must be thousands of years old. This style is at least only found in the nomadic era.”

The guys were full of amazement.

How could they have imagined that in such a remote and rugged mountain ravine, there would be ancient people leaving cliff carvings here.

"what happened?"

 “Why isn’t the one in front still moving?”

Seeing that the people responsible for leading the way stopped in place, which greatly slowed down the team's progress, a sound of dissatisfaction suddenly came from behind.

This ghost place is cramped and suffocating.

Now the team suddenly stopped, and an uneasy mood spread unconsciously among everyone.

“Shopkeeper, let me go and have a look.”

Hong girl frowned slightly, stood up and went to check in front.

 “Let’s go there together.”

“Yuan Hong is not the kind of person who acts randomly. He must have encountered some unexpected situation.”

 Chen Yulou shook his head.

 In fact, I already have a guess in my mind.

 It was also for this reason that Yuan Hong was specially asked to go up the mountain.

Otherwise, if you really want to lead the way, who can compare with Luofu who is deep in the sky and high in the sky.

"yes."

 Since the shopkeeper has spoken in person.

How could the red girl refuse?

Handing the horses to the assistant next to him, the group of people drove lightly and easily, passing between the horse teams, and after a while they appeared at the front of the team.

"what happened?"

“Do you know that it’s easy to get into trouble if you’re crowded in a long and narrow valley like this…”

　　Looking ahead.

  There is no danger as expected.

The others acted as if they had not heard anything and still stood where they were. Miss Hong couldn't help but frown.

This kind of wind-eroded rock looks solid, but is actually the most fragile.

 You can tell something about it by looking at the mountains of fallen rocks along the way.

 Ten thousand steps back.

Mozigou and Xingxingxia are less than a few miles apart.

Once the opponent is alerted, block the exit first and then occupy the high cliffs on both sides. At that time, you will be catching turtles in an urn, and no matter how many lives you have, you won't be able to fill them in.

 These people are all old men on the mountain.

 Having traveled around the world for many years.

 It stands to reason that this shouldn’t be the case.

 “The general leader…the red leader.”

　It wasn't until a light scolding came from behind that several people suddenly woke up, with a look of panic on their faces.

"what happened?"

 Chen Yulou waved his hand to indicate that nothing was wrong.

"The boss is Mr. Yuan..."

Following his explanation, several people discovered the mosaic rock paintings on the steep cliff.

 “No, there’s more!”

Yang Fang's eyes were sharp and he suddenly reached out and pointed to the other side.

On the cliff opposite the hunting picture, there was a pagoda with a simple shape. Countless ascetic monks sat cross-legged and chanted sutras in front of the pagoda with their eyes closed.

 “Here too.”

Huamaguai, who was a few steps behind, couldn't help but think deeply when he saw this situation. He gently wiped away the wind sand accumulated on the rocks beside him with his fingers, and several stone carvings were actually revealed from the wind sand.

 “The dust in the northern desert is clear.”

 “During the Wanli Year of the Ming Dynasty… Guo Shi’s ancient book?!”

Huamaguai read out the words on the cliff stone word for word.

 After a while, three or four stone carvings have been discovered, but none of them are as good as this line of ancient characters on the cliff.

 Clearly recorded the time and characters.

Although the origin of this person is unclear, if he can reach here, he is most likely the guard of Yumen Pass or Jiayuguan Pass.

　　It’s just four words.

But he made his wishes clear.

The vast yellow sand in the Northern Desert stretches for thousands of miles, and it is extremely difficult to clear it.

Hundreds of years later, when they first set foot on this land, they were shocked and speechless, let alone the ancients of that era.

 “Pre-Qin, Northern Qi, Ming Dynasty.”

“These stone carvings span a really long time.”

Yang Fang has excellent eyesight. After observing for a moment, he can accurately tell the age of each rock painting.

“Everyone, three hundred years ago the Ming Dynasty’s guarding generals had such ambitions.”

 “Today our means are a hundred times greater than his.”

“It’s just a desert, shouldn’t it be a big deal, right?”

From beginning to end, Chen Yulou was the calmest. When he decided to take a detour from Mozigou, he thought about the possibility of encountering the Black Mountain stone carvings?

did not expect.

 In the end, it gave him such a big surprise.

It is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for both him and the exhausted team.

 Just a few words.

Everyone felt their blood boiling with excitement, and there was no trace of fatigue and confusion. Their eyes were blazing, and their faces were filled with anticipation.

There are countless colleagues who fight against each other.

 But how many people have the opportunity to go to the Western Regions to fight?

This is not just about gaining glory, but a reputation that people in the world can only hope to achieve!

Just like when we passed Jiayuguan before and looked at the ancient city, what everyone thought of was the high-spirited young general who attacked the Huns from the north two thousand years ago.

 They may not be able to leave their names in history in this life.

But if you can leave a big name in the fighting world, you will be able to brag about this trip when you get old.

 Feel the rekindled fighting spirit and momentum of everyone in the team.

Yang Fang and Partridge Whistle on the side couldn't help but be amazed.

It's no wonder that he was able to command tens of thousands of green forest bandits in Changsheng Mountain at the age of ten. With this eloquence alone, they probably won't be able to learn it in their lifetime.

 Especially Yang Fang.

At this moment, he only felt hot with blood, and he had the urge to join Changsheng Mountain and die for them.

 “We will reach the West Sea in a few days.”

“Although it’s not the North Sea, it’s enough to experience drinking from the Mahan Sea!” (End of this chapter)
