What Shu Kang painted on Jiao Yue's back was a crescent moon, and Yao Qiao had never seen the moon before, so she asked curiously. The superstars she had seen had their whole faces sliding across the horizon, and there was no such crescent moon. shape.
Similarly, Jiaoyue also stared at the pattern on Yaoqiao's back and asked Shukang: "Master, is there a branch painted on junior sister's clothes?"
"No, it's lightning. Has there never been lightning here?" Shukang asked.
"I've never seen it before. Does lightning also come from the sky?" Jiao Yue asked next.
"Yes! It's not right in the sky. It should be said that it's in the atmosphere." Shu Kang felt puzzled by this world without lightning.
After wondering about the clothes, the moon and lightning, the master and the apprentice, guided by the light beam of the mobile phone flashlight, walked forward along the road, talking and laughing for about half an hour, and finally saw what the passerby said. "rockery" and "five-story pavilion".
The light there is bright enough, especially the rim lights of the five-story pavilion, which makes the graceful shape of the pavilion particularly eye-catching in the night. Shukang also turned off the flashlight function of his mobile phone, carefully installed it, zipped it up, and found the target ahead: the pavilion!
At this point, although not a single bird was seen on the road, the pavilion and rockery were full of tourists, which was strange.
"Looks like I'm not the only one who's full of food! There are so many like-minded people here, haha!" Shukang saw what a "peaceful age" means from the flow of people laughing and having fun. Such a popular place is really reassuring.
Seeing that we are almost reaching the rockery, the stone-hardened road under our feet seems to have turned into a soft "cotton road" like semi-soft river mud. Every time we take a step up, we will sink half a foot without any reaction force. , walking forward becomes much more strenuous, making moving forward very inefficient.
This is a very strange feeling. Every time I step, I cannot accurately estimate my own weight and how to take the next step safely. There is always a danger of being sucked in at any time on the soft mud road here. Similar.
"Be careful!" When Shukang turned around to remind his two beloved disciples, he realized his negligence. He only focused on drawing sweatshirts and pants, and forgot to draw shoes. Now the two children fell into the mud as soon as they walked. Half of the legs were missing, and it was very difficult to pull them out and take the next step, which was really "scaring every step of the way."
"Stop, you two wait a minute!" Shukang stopped the trio, took out the wooden hairpin again, quickly drew two pairs of sports and outdoor running shoes, and also set the time limit at 48 hours.
After putting on new shoes, the two sisters walked much faster. Of course, Shukang would not fall behind. The three of them accelerated their pace toward the increasingly larger rockery covered with a five-story pavilion.
Finally arriving at the foot of the mountain, there are only two ways to go up the mountain. One is to follow the stone steps and the spiral staircase of the pavilion, climbing up layer by layer; the other is to climb alone from the rockery next to it, all with hands and feet. The marked path for direct climbing goes straight up. Obviously, the detour is easy but far away; the straight path is difficult to climb, but close.
Shukang saw that most of the tourists were lining up there, huddled together and slowly circling up. However, she and her two apprentices decided to take a small path and climb straight up the mountain path.
It’s not because of fear of crowds or time saving, it’s actually such a rare climbing route. How can a “rock climbing” master not feel the desire to experience and conquer?
How long has it been since you practiced martial arts? Shukang thought about her last experience in the tiankeng in Guangxi. Although she almost died, the feeling of finally crawling out of the tiankeng made her excited every time she thought about it.
Here, compared to the slipperiness and width of the sinkhole, there is another challenge: softness.
Similar to the feeling of the soft base road we just came all the way, although this hill bun is hard-core, its surface is like the texture of a meringue hard chocolate ice cream: it is unclear what is underneath this layer of "merry". How deep is it that you can grab a hard force-bearing point that can bear the weight? Every time you reach down, you will dig deep into a pile of soft soil, and then you can dig out some hard rocks, and then use your hands to dig out Feel the shape of this stone, judge its texture, and then trust it with your life.
This kind of digging, stepping, and guessing the ascending route turns this area into a playground: because there are constantly people who cannot catch it from above and slide down, and they have to get out of the way quickly, otherwise they will be A fate.
While slowly tentatively climbing up, while carefully guarding against the "Forerunner" falling, Shu Kang felt that every cell in his body was extremely excited.
The two apprentices seemed to be climbing such a mountain for the first time, and they both looked very clumsy. It seemed that they had never practiced "rock climbing".
Every time, it penetrates deeply, and the feeling of having the entire arm and palm wrapped is wonderful. It is a bit laborious when inserting, but when pulling out, the skin becomes moister and fairer, as if it is doing a massage for the hand. It's like "dry cleaning". This kind of experience is unprecedented.
However, no matter how much fun it is to plunge in and pull out, once the hard core inside is not grasped well and the foot slips again, all previous efforts will be wasted and the slide will be unstoppable. Many times, it takes a long time to return to the starting point. But here's the fun. The more times you slide down, the more you want to go up again, and the stronger your desire to conquer this loose and slippery mountain road becomes.
I have failed several times, but this time I was closest to the top of the hill! However, there was an angle of almost 120 degrees of inclination. The whole person had to hang down. He could only rely on swinging to move the point of force of the other hand to the protruding rock edge above the inflection point. .
This is the time when technique and endurance are most tested.
Shu Kang carefully judged the only possible route several times, then turned his body sideways and tightened his core muscles. He only needed to make a final throw and use his right hand and foot to grasp the protruding position at the same time.
The closer she got to the top, the harder the rock became, and there was less loose skin in the front section. This gave her great confidence to complete this last critical jump.
Adjust your breathing! Shu Kang had rehearsed the movement of going up several times in his mind, and transferred the corresponding force to the limbs, and then began to recite silently in his mind: "3, 2, 1 jump!"
The two apprentices below have slid back to the starting point for the Nth time. They have to stand at the bottom, staring with envy and admiration at the master who is conquering the most thrilling corner of the top. A beautiful leap in the air, successful!
The two of them couldn't help but cheer loudly for the master from the bottom!
"Master is so amazing! Amazing, amazing!"
Shukang waved down from the top, looked at the two apprentices who were still there, shook his head, and then took out the wooden hairpin...
