The sun has set in the west, the sunshine is no longer so intense, and the heat is gradually weakening, but the lingering power is still there.
Everyone thanked the young shepherd and mounted their horses, still leading the way to the south, walking at the front.
The slanting sunlight shines on the hillside, and a group of people and horses drag their long reflections. The golden sunlight casts a dazzling luster on the scabbard.
The desolate and lonely mountain ridge began to have a hint of fireworks due to the appearance of this group of people.
The mountain wind was howling, and the wild grass and flowers on the roadside were swaying in the wind. The mountain road winding down from the top of the mountain was extremely difficult to navigate. The mountain road, which was about three feet wide, was uneven and scattered with large and small rocks. In some places, there were even landslides. .
When everyone came here, their hearts tightened, and they felt a faint fear of the dangerous terrain around them.
Following the shepherd's guidance, they chose to go down the mountain along the cattle trail. Huangniu Road is a wall-mounted mountain road carved out of the cliff, spiraling down the mountainside. The entire mountain is lined with cliffs on three sides. The depth is unfathomable and makes people feel terrified.
Looking south on the road, I looked at a granite tablet not far ahead. On the tablet were carved several elegant running scripts: "Old Yellow Ox Road". The surface of the stele has been somewhat weathered, and it has experienced years of wind and frost erosion. The stone tablet is hidden among the grass on the roadside, showing a deep vicissitude and decadence.
Everyone rode horses and walked slowly for a while, approaching the Yellow Ox Trail on the cliff. The terrain here was dangerous, and there was a thousand-foot cliff next to them. Everyone did not dare to be careless, and everyone carefully observed the surrounding situation.
Lu Xiangnan tightened the reins of his horse and stopped it. He turned around and said to everyone: "Ahead is the Yellow Ox Road. We all need to cheer up and pass carefully step by step. This road is a bit narrow, so we still lead the horse. Let's go! Everyone must pay more attention to your steps and don't step on the ground!" He looked at everyone with a solemn expression. After saying that, he jumped off the horse and took the reins of the horse.
Xu Feng said sternly: "Master Lu is right, this place is too dangerous, we must be more careful." He also jumped off the horse, holding the horse's reins with one hand and stroking the horse's mane with the other. The horse swayed its head docilely.
Liu Ruyan and Luo Xiangxue looked at each other and nodded silently. Liu Ruyan said: "This road seems too difficult to walk. We must not neglect it. Look, at the pass at the corner, if you don't pay attention, you will Roll off the cliff!"
At this time, Lei Zhentian, who had been silent all the time, spoke up: "Don't panic, everyone, we walk next to each other one after another and remind each other at any time!" He was speaking with a lot more energy than before, and his complexion was getting brighter. The more normal he is, the fact that he can recover to such an extent in such a short period of time is obviously related to his deep internal strength.
Liu Ruyan turned to look at Lei Zhentian and said with a smile: "Uncle Lei is getting better and better. It seems that the injury is recovering well!"
Xu Feng also smiled and said: "Brother Lei's decades of internal strength cultivation cannot be underestimated."
Lei Zhentian sighed: "This is all thanks to the old doctor's superb medical skills, the few doses of decoction he took, and the exercise and breath regulation to achieve such results! Hey, if I can meet him to save me, It's my luck! I really should thank him!" His eyes flashed with excitement for the rest of his life, mixed with a deep gratitude.
The sun was setting in the west and the remaining warmth was still there, so no one dared to delay any longer.
The group of people led the horses and walked slowly towards the entrance of the Yellow Ox Ancient Road. The Yellow Ox Ancient Road looked like a long giant python coiled on the cliff.
Several large characters are carved on the mountain wall at the entrance: "The mountain road is steep, so those who come here should proceed with caution." "Entering the Yellow Ox Road is like entering the gate of hell." "The Yellow Ox Natural Chasm is not for the faint of heart."...
These few lines of inscriptions are enough to show that the Huangniu Ancient Road is steep and steep. It is really extraordinary. If you are not completely sure, you really don't dare to enter rashly.
Everyone stopped at the entrance and looked at the lines of carvings on the cliff. They couldn't help but feel uneasy. They had seen many steep winding mountain roads, but although the ancient Yellow Ox Road in front of them was not very high, the terrain was very harsh. It’s complicated and the road is extremely narrow, so walking on it is unavoidable and scary.
Looking at the almost vertical cliff beside me, although the vegetation on the roadside is lush, it cannot weaken the strong visual impact and still shocks the soul.
Lu Xiangnan glanced at the people around him and muttered: "We are about to enter the Yellow Ox Ancient Road, everyone must be more careful! I think I should take the lead, Senior Lei, Liu Shaoxia and Miss Luo will follow closely, and Brother Xu will follow. Let's take care of each other, and if anyone is in danger, we will remind each other to ensure that everyone can pass safely!"
Lu Xiangnan was full of worries about this steep section of the hanging wall mountain road, especially the turning point at the mountain pass, which was even narrower and steeper. It seemed that if he was not careful, he would fall off the cliff and be shattered to pieces.
Xu Feng has been wandering around the world for decades. What kind of dangerous road has he not walked? But the bend in front is really dangerous. The road is less than two feet wide. One side is leaning against the mountain wall, and the other side is an unobstructed cliff. It is scary to walk alone, let alone holding hands. A big horse? I don’t know who risked his life to open up such a dangerous road?
Xu Feng gritted his teeth and said quietly: "This is the only dangerous road I have ever seen in my life. You must be careful. As long as you cross that pass, the road ahead will be much better!"
Everyone, look at me and I look at you. I couldn’t help but sweat in my heart, but this is also the only way to go down the mountain. Since there is no other choice, I can only go through it bravely. .
Lu Xiangnan looked at Lei Zhentian and asked with concern: "Senior Lei, are you sure you can walk over?"
Lei Zhentian smiled lightly and said: "In my early years in the Taihang Mountains, I saw many roads like this. Although it is not as dangerous as this, Lei thinks he can still make it!"
Lu Xiangnan said: "No matter what, it's better for everyone to be careful. It's getting late, let's hurry up!"
Everyone led the horses and slowly walked into the entrance.
