"Grandpa also said that there must be an explanation for the Tong family's spiritual root awakening in the future. This time it is a greeting in advance." Tong Shan repeated the old man's words.
"I didn't expect that it would be convenient for us to apply for the certificate." Tong Yi admired her grandfather's shrewd decision.
"We have to prepare starting tomorrow. The best season lasts for 6 to 10 days. Around the winter solstice is the coldest weather, accompanied by extreme weather. Just in case, we can only prepare as early as possible. "Tong Yi reported some useful information she learned today, and then said:
"Brother, when you first called us, our plan was to leave on the day the pass was issued. Now we have to take safety classes, so we can only leave the next day."
On the next Sunday, Qi Guanyu and Yan Feiyue packed their luggage at home according to the list given by the consultant, while Tong Shan and Tong Yi went out to buy the things they missed.
When everyone was having dinner together in the evening, both Yan Feiyue and Tong Yi received a text message from Loongson in City C. The content was as follows:
Dear friends, I will not take the postgraduate examination this year. I have been recruited by a special department here in City C, which can be regarded as an iron rice bowl. During the mission, I couldn’t get through the phone. When I go on vacation, I’ll go find you. Don’t miss me too much!
Apparently both of them had forgotten about the postgraduate examination. Yan Feiyue had received this text message in her previous life and was a bit confused about time and space. Tong Yi knew that Longxin had some miraculous abilities and now she had come into contact with City S. Department of Abnormal Affairs, so there are some guesses.
"I learned in my previous life that Xinxin has a single spiritual root of the fire element, and most of his family members are monks. I think that no matter in the previous life or in this life, their family joined the abnormal affairs department in C City because of the tense situation." Yan Feiyue explained to Tong Yi.
"Then, did their family also encounter unexpected events in their previous lives?"
Tong Yi didn't expect that Xinxin's family was so special. After living together for more than ten years, everyone kept their secrets well hidden. Because she also has secrets, she knows that not telling her is not because she doesn't believe it, but out of protective psychology. After all, the less she knows, the safer she is.
"Yes, but the matter of Xinxin's family is not urgent yet. Something happened to their family the year after tomorrow. I plan to go to City C after the crisis on your side is resolved." Yan Feiyue didn't intend to say it at first, but Tongtong With their spiritual roots awakened, the three of them are now truly teammates who can fight side by side. When the great revenge is avenged, they can still be inseparable and make progress together as before.
"Okay, I'll go with you then." Tong Yi didn't hesitate at all. The three of them will be together forever.
"Okay!" Yan Feiyue said happily with tears in her eyes, "That's great!" This life is indeed different!
On Monday, the four of them got up early and rushed to the office. They thought that applying for the certificate would be slow. Unexpectedly, the one-stop service went smoothly. Instead, the safety class was held from morning to three o'clock in the afternoon, and then it took a lot of time for the staff to help check the equipment. Two hours. It was finally agreed that the staff would drive them to the starting point on the next day.
On December 7, Yan Feiyue, Qi Guanyu, Tong Yi, and Tong Shan started to get up and clean up at 7:30. After breakfast, just at 8:30, the pick-up vehicle arrived.
The teacher who attended yesterday's class was sitting in the co-pilot, and I heard him worry and say: "You guys are too brave. You dare to climb the mountain without experience. Your life is still at stake. If you can't, please retreat immediately."
"Yes, yes, thank you, teacher." Only Tong Shan is the most comfortable in this kind of situation.
The car drove for about two hours. After it stopped, the instructor made the last inspection and saw that several people were covering their heads tightly. Then he said with confidence: "I have said everything that should be said yesterday. This is the hydrology of the mountain village." Once you stand, the road ahead is up to you."
"Thank you, teacher." This time, the four of them spoke in unison, sincerely thanking each other, waving goodbye, and then set off.
After passing the corner and losing sight of the car that brought them, the four of them stopped.
Qi Guanyu put the luggage on his back on the ground and said to the three of them: "Everyone, redistribute the things on your back. Put the things that are not needed at the moment into A Yue's storage bag first."
Tong Shan looked at the notes and warned: "Just carry the walking stick, kettle, call station, and flashlight in a small mountaineering bag. Tent, sleeping bag, moisture-proof mat, cooking utensils, oxygen bag, camping lamp, etc. are not needed at the moment. , Ah Yue, please put it away first!"
Yan Feiyue waved her little hand, and everyone picked out the remaining large bags and put them into storage bags.
"Our destination today is Sheeppen No. 1." Qi Guanyu put away the map, picked up his cane and led the way forward, followed by Yan Feiyue, then Tong Shan, and finally Tong Yi.
After the four of them entered the Sancha Valley, the light suddenly became dim, and all they could see were the poplar trees that blocked the sky. They turned on the flashlight and walked forward along the looming path in the forest. There was snow and branches on the ground, and the road was slippery and had bumpy spots, making it extremely difficult to walk. Fortunately, it is winter now, and animals are basically hibernating. If one suddenly comes out, it will really scare people to death.
They stopped for lunch and then set off. It took the four of them seven hours to travel five kilometers, and the sun was almost setting before they arrived at Sheeppen No. 1.
Tong Shan walked around the brick house, looking around inside and outside, and then said with confidence: "It's what the teacher said, the house is empty, the people are empty, the sheep is empty."
"Actually, it's good that the weather is cold, so there are only four of us, so we don't have to carry big bags to cover up." Tong Yi has always been a down-to-earth person, but now she finds that taking shortcuts is actually quite good.
A few people had a hasty dinner and were about to take a rest. In fact, Qi Guanyu and Yan Feiyue were fine, mainly because Tong Shan and Tong Yi hadn't exerted their energy like this for a long time. Because girls do have less calories, and Yan Feiyue is not afraid of the cold due to her cultivation, so she and Tong Yi share a sleeping bag to serve as a humanoid heater, while Qi Guanyu and Tong Shan share a sleeping bag each.
The next day, after lunch, the four of them prepared to set off for Summer Ranch. The slope on the way increased sharply and the climb was indeed strenuous. After arriving at Summer Ranch, they had to pitch a tent and stay here for one night.
On the third day, the four of them continued to go up, and when they felt like they were about to reach the end of the world, they finally saw the sheep pen No. 3 in the campsite. Sheeppen No. 3 is located at an altitude of 2,500 meters. There is a clear spring here, and there are many rock paintings left by ancient nomads on both sides of the hillside.
Qi Guanyu saw that Tong Yi and Tong Shan's condition today was obviously not as good as the previous two days, so he suggested: "Let's stay here for two nights! The road ahead will be very hard, let's gather our energy before setting off."
"Okay." Tong Yi and Tong Shan said in unison.
The altitude has been low these past few days, the climate has been normal, and the wind and snow have been within the tolerable range. However, everyone knows that the road ahead will become increasingly difficult. Now is not the time to show off. As long as you recover well, the rest of the road will be difficult. The road will be smoother.
On the fifth day, the four people left sheepfold No. 3 and climbed to higher ground. The four of them first climbed a long and dry ravine to the top of the ravine. Standing on the top of the slope at an altitude of 3,000 meters, they looked at the majestic Bogda Snow Mountain not far away.
Then proceed south and continue to climb three mountain passes with a vertical height of 300 meters and a slope of more than 40 degrees. Even Qi Guanyu and Yan Feiyue found this section of the road strenuous, let alone Tong Shan and Tong Yi, so The formation slowly changed to Qi Guanyu leading Tong Shan, and Yan Feiyue leading Tong Yi.
After finally climbing up, the four of them were amazed by the beautiful scenery here. The flying snow reflected in the sunset looked like pure petals falling in all directions, cheering for their arrival.
On the sixth day, the four of them finally set off towards the base camp. Following the ice lake, the four of them finally arrived at the Bogda Mountaineering Base Camp, which is 3,550 meters above sea level. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, there is the tombstone of Ms. Baishui. The campground has a lot of artificially filled ground, which is perfect for camping.
The road behind is a road that only the national mountaineering team will explore, so it will be more difficult and dangerous. The four people decided to spend two days here to repair it and eat hot pot to warm up.
At this height, Qi Guanyu felt an obvious change. He said to A Yue, who was nestling in his arms, "A Yue, the spiritual energy here has become stronger. Do you feel it?"
Yan Feiyue sat up, felt it, and said in surprise: "Guanguan, if you didn't tell me, I really didn't notice it."
"Ah Yue, take out all the spirit beads you have accumulated during this period and distribute them. Tomorrow's rest will be a good time for practicing."
"Okay." Yan Feiyue waved her hand, and a small pile of spirit beads appeared in front of the two of them. One for you and one for me. The last person got 11 beads.
The next day, after breakfast, Tong Shan and Tong Yi walked around together, while Qi Guanyu and Yan Feiyue began to concentrate on practicing. Yan Feiyue practiced until the afternoon. After running five great heavens and absorbing five spiritual beads, she was unable to do anything.
Erqi Guanyu, on the other hand, practiced from morning to night and only stopped after absorbing the tenth spirit bead. When he opened his eyes, he saw A Yue putting his spirit beads in. His heart instantly became warm and he said helplessly: "Ten is already the limit."
"Ah! Guan Guan, you're awake!" Yan Feiyue retracted her spirit beads one by one with a guilty conscience, and then pretended to be nonchalant and excitedly said: "Guan Guan, plus the daily stress during this period With hard work, my cultivation has stabilized at the first level of Qi training, and I can start towards the second level of Qi training tomorrow."
Qi Guanyu held the naughty person on his lap, kissed her soft and delicate cheek, and praised: "Ah Yue is great. I also feel that I am getting closer to building the foundation. Maybe I will be able to build it smoothly when I can." Gay."
Yan Feiyue couldn't believe it. This was really good news. She quickly asked: "Does that mean that you will not be shackled by this place? As long as you absorb enough spiritual energy, you can naturally return to the Nascent Soul stage?"
"It should be like this, my baby." Qi Guanyu held the little jade-white face of the person in his arms and placed a gentle kiss on the tip of his nose.
On the eighth day, the four people will set off from the 3,550-meter Bogda Mountaineering Base Camp to the C1 camp.
