After the fifth watch, the sun appeared in the east of Jingtian City, dispelling the cold and dark night, heralding the arrival of a new day. [No pop-up novel website]
The morning sun shines on people. Although it is not as dazzling and warm as it is at noon, it is extraordinarily kind and comfortable.
The three Chen Feifan brothers were heading towards Jingtian Mountain to the west of Jingtian City under the soft morning sun.
In Jingtian City early in the morning, there was no one on the road at all. Fortunately, the city gate had already been opened at five o'clock in the morning. The road to Jingtian Mountain was equally deserted, but this did not reduce the interest of the three of them at all.
The distance of four to five miles did not take long for three people on horseback. After chatting for a while on the road, the three of them had reached the foot of Jingtian Mountain.
Fortunately, there were several inns at the foot of the mountain. The three of them found an inn nearby. After settling the three horses, they bought some dry food in the inn to take to the mountain for lunch. Then they packed lightly and headed towards Jingtian Mountain.
Yesterday, they looked at this mountain from a distance, but today, when they stood at the foot of the mountain and looked up at the mountain peak, the three of them realized that this mountain was so terrifyingly high that they couldn't even see the top at a glance.
The three of them had just asked the waiter at the inn. There are stone steps at the foot of the mountain that extend to Wolong Pond halfway up the mountain. There are no stone steps to go from Wolong Pond to the cupola further up. There is a mountain road but it is very difficult. It’s difficult to walk. If you want to walk from the Sky Tower to the top of Jingtian Mountain, you need to find a way to go up by yourself, because there are no mountain roads up there. It is enough for ordinary tourists to reach Wolong Pond. If they are in good physical condition, they can only go to the rooftop. Almost no one has been to the top of the mountain, and even local people rarely have the ability to climb to the top of the mountain.
People were already climbing up the mountain road one after another. Seeing this, Chen Feifan and the other three couldn't wait to join the queue.
Climbing the mountain in the early morning, listening to the melodious and crisp calls of the birds, and breathing in the fresh air emitted by the surrounding trees is really a refreshing feeling. The morning dew moistened the surrounding flowers, plants and trees, and the three of them were walking with the sun behind them. At a glance, the surrounding scenery was so bright and dazzling.
"Brother, where will we climb?" Zhang Xiaohua was the easiest climber among the three.
"What do you think? This mountain can't be higher than Yingxue Mountain, right?" Chen Feifan raised his head and asked. The scenery in the mountain is very beautiful and attractive, but the stone steps are long and steep. What's even more annoying is that the stone steps are very long and steep. The steps were straight up for a while, but turned into a winding mountain for a while. After climbing the mountain for nearly an hour, I didn't even see half of Wolong Pond.
"It should be higher than Eagle Snow Mountain!" Xiao Mufeng sighed as he looked at the top of the mountain covered by white clouds.
"Then let's climb to Wolong Pond!" Although Zhang Xiaohua was very interested in Jingtian Mountain, he did not forget that he had an appointment at Jade Tower in the evening.
"Forget it! I think we should climb until noon, then find a place to eat some dry food and go down the mountain!" Xiao Mufeng said.
"Yes!" Chen Feifan nodded and said, "I guess we won't be able to reach Wolong Pond. If we really get there, we won't be able to go to Jade Tower."
"Hey!" Zhang Xiaohua said a little discouraged: "It seems there is no chance."
Xiao Mufeng opened the water bag and drank some water, then handed it to Zhang Xiaohua and said: "Here! Drink some water! If you can't go to Wolong Pond today, then we can come again tomorrow!"
Zhang Xiaohua took the water bag, took a few sips, and handed it to Chen Feifan with a smile, "That's right, if you can't do it today, you can come again tomorrow!"
Taking the water bag handed over by Zhang Xiaohua, Chen Feifan took a few sips and said, "Yes! If nothing happens tomorrow, we can come again."
"Here!" Xiao Mufeng pointed to a pavilion on the mountain that was still relatively far away and said, "We'll get there today."
"Okay!" The other two people nodded in agreement.
At this time, the sun lost its shyness when it first rose and illuminated the entire earth. More and more people came to Jingtian Mountain. The foot of the mountain was already crowded, making the originally peaceful mountain atmosphere suddenly lively. stand up.
It took about another hour before Chen Feifan and the other three arrived at the pavilion they just pointed to.
The first thing that caught the eyes of the three people was "Wind Pavilion", which was written in three words. The Wind Pavilion had four corners, each corner was engraved with a dragon flying in the wind, and it could accommodate seven or eight people. However, the Yingfeng Pavilion is supported by only four Coiling Dragon stone pillars. Each of the four Coiling Dragon stone pillars has only one dragon, and they are different, but they are all lifelike.
Because Yingfeng Pavilion is built against a mountain, it is made of stone and is extremely strong. There are also benches and guardrails around the pavilion for tourists to rest.
Chen Feifan and the other three sat down in the pavilion, drank some water, and ate some dry food they had brought with them, which was regarded as a lunch.
"Big brother, second brother, look!" Zhang Xiaohua was lying on the guardrail on the east side of the pavilion, pointing down the mountain with excitement.
Chen Feifan and Xiao Mufeng looked down along Zhang Xiaohua's fingertips, and what they saw was Jingtian City! The height of this pavilion is about one hundred feet away from the foot of the mountain. Things at the foot of the mountain have long been blurred, but the Jingtian City from a distance is still so clear, which shows the scale of Jingtian City.
While the three of them were looking at it, four more people came to the pavilion. All four of them were dressed like mountain farmers, with thick bodies and dark skin.
The four people greeted Chen Feifan and the others in a friendly manner, and Chen Feifan and the others responded in kind.
After greeting each other, the four mountain farmers found a seat in the pavilion and sat down, and began to eat the cakes they brought.
After appreciating the beautiful scenery in and below the mountain, Xiao Mufeng asked: "Brother, I think we can go down the mountain!"
Before Chen Feifan could speak, one of the four mountain farmers in the pavilion suddenly said: "Hey! I said to you three little brothers, why don't you continue climbing up? The most famous scenic spot here is Wolong halfway up the mountain. Pond, most people come to climb the Jingtian Mountain just for the Wolong Pond."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Another relatively eldest mountain farmer agreed: "If you haven't been to Wolong Pond, you haven't been to Jingtian Mountain."
Zhang Xiaohua said discouraged: "It's not that we don't want to, it's just that we really don't have time today!"
A mountain farmer who looked the thickest among the four was afraid that Chen Feifan and the others didn't know. After taking a bite of the big cake in his hand, he quickly said: "It's okay! There is a 'Linlong Xuan' not far from Wolong Pond." , you can stay there for one night and go down the mountain the next day.”
"It's not because of the accommodation problem!" Chen Feifan knew that several mountain farmers also had good intentions, but he still had to explain, "It's because we have to go to Jingtian City to keep an appointment tonight, so we won't go to Wolong Pond."
The medium-sized mountain farmer who was the first to talk to them just wiped his mouth, showed his white teeth, and said with a smile: "Oh! So that's it. You three little brothers, you must go to Wolong Pond to see it again in the future. , the four of us all work in Linlongxuan, and when we come to Linlongxuan in the future, if you need help if you encounter anything, just come to us, and we will help you if we can."
"Definitely! Definitely! Then the three of us brothers are here to thank the four eldest brothers first!" Chen Feifan also smiled, and he didn't expect that the mountain farmers here are really enthusiastic.
"By the way, I would like to ask some brothers, since there is Linlong Pavilion on Wolong Pond where you can temporarily stay overnight, why are so few people going to the Sky Tower?" Zhang Xiaohua wanted to know the answer to this question since he started climbing the mountain, but he kept looking for it. There is no suitable person to answer it, and the four mountain farmers in front of me are the best ones.
"Because it's difficult to walk!" The fourth, slightly thin farmer who had been silent just now finally spoke.
"Since there is a cupola above, why do the stone steps only go to Wolong Pond instead of continuing to build them? They can go all the way to the cupola." This time it was Xiao Mufeng's turn to ask.
The one who spoke this time was the oldest one among the four: "Three little brothers, you don't know something. Although the four of us brothers work in Linlongxuan, we also cut firewood, hunt, and gather... Medicine, so I am very familiar with this Jingtian Mountain. Why not build to the Cupola Tower? That’s because it takes more than half a day to reach the Cupola Tower from Wolong Pond. The mountain road there is rugged and steep, making it difficult to repair it. Stone steps. Moreover, the rooftop is already a hundred feet high from the foot of the mountain. The wind there is biting and it is unbearable to treat people at all."
"Has anyone been to the top of the mountain?" Zhang Xiaohua asked again.
"The top of the mountain?!" The four mountain farmers looked at each other, and finally the oldest one said: "No one has been up there for a long time."
"Why?" This time it was Chen Feifan who spoke first.
The old man said with a serious face: "This mountain is about 1,800 feet high. From the rooftop, there are almost no mountain roads, and there will be ice roads after that. The higher you go up, the more difficult it will be, and there will be ice roads at any time." There will be a risk of losing one's life. In fact, these are nothing, but the most important thing is because there is a dragon on the top of the mountain!" ..
