Chapter 884 Daqin Tianling
The boundary between Dawuzhou and Lingtianzhou is a mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles. It is known as the "Daqintianling". There are 1,300 steep mountains in it, each of which is amazing and daunting.
Outside the Daqintianling, there are villages scattered around. Those who enter the mountain from other places will seek help from local guides. Because the mountains, water, dense forests, insects and animals... never separate. The Daqintianling stretches for thousands of miles and is a huge natural maze, which is extremely dangerous.
When Li Changxiao wanted to enter the Daqintianling, a farmer took his hand and persuaded him not to enter. Even if he wanted to enter, he had to bring a few men from the village. Otherwise, he would never return.
The man was kind-hearted, and Li Changxiao thanked him for his kindness, but didn't care much. The next morning, he entered the mountain alone. The mountain was very cool because of the lush trees and dense leaves.
It was November and December, Lingtian was in the cold season, but Dawuzhou was in the hot summer. Dawuzhou was in summer all year round, and it was very comfortable to step into the green bushes at this moment.
Although Daqin Tianling was dangerous, it was not completely without human traces. Li Changxiao was not far away when he saw a stone pavilion at the foot of the mountain. The surroundings were full of weeds, and the stone chairs were crawling with tiny caterpillars. Li Changxiao liked to go into the dense forest, but he didn't like insects. Thinking that he had been walking for a long time, he sat in the pavilion to rest for a while.
He heard the sound of "ding dong" and "ding dong". Li Changxiao suddenly saw a gurgling stream on the right side, about seven or eight feet away. This pavilion is so cool, mostly because of this stream. Li Changxiao thought that if he built a small wooden house in the depths of Daqin Tianling in the future.
It must be a summer resort.
The road ahead was long, and after a rest, he started again. He crossed dozens of mountains in a few days. As we went deeper into the hinterland, there were no more traces of people. This was the first time for Li Changxiao to walk through the Great Qin Tianling Mountains. In the past, he traveled back and forth between the four southern regions while following the caravan. It is not necessary to cross the Great Qin Tianling Mountains to get from Dawuzhou to Lingtianzhou. It only takes a little more time and a detour.
The road in the Great Qin Tianling Mountains is difficult to travel, and crossing it is not necessarily faster than taking a detour. Li Changxiao suddenly saw a naked fruit on a tree. At first glance, it looked like a banana, but there was no need to peel it. When you bite it, the flesh is very tough and spicy. But after chewing it, it tastes sweet.
Li Changxiao took two bites and threw it on the ground. Although this fruit has its merits, it tastes too boring. It is unpalatable, but it is also okay to say that it tastes good.
A group of monkeys live in the Great Qin Tianling Mountains. They are covered with white hair, have red eyes, and are about half a person's height. They are called "Bai Kui". This kind of monkey has very sharp claws and a bad temper. Whenever they encounter people passing through the Qintian Mountains, the white kuei will come in groups of three or two to harass them. Their sharp claws scratch people's faces. They like to eat children.
Li Changxiao mistakenly entered the group of white kuei. He was besieged by hundreds of white kuei, and the scene was chaotic for a while. Li Changxiao was not polite, and the Qingping sword on his waist turned into a monkey-beating stick. He fought against hundreds with one, and there were more than enough. He beat the monkeys all the way with a stick, and taught the monkeys that were feared by passers-by to obey him.
The monkey king was scared by the beating, and knelt down to recognize Li Changxiao as his king, and presented a leaf of nectar, which was the essence of plants and trees. Li Changxiao drank it in one gulp, and it was cool in the mouth. This thing is not simple. If a mortal drinks it, he will immediately become extremely powerful and all diseases will be cured.
It's a pity that Li Changxiao drank it, which is not even icing on the cake. Thinking about it, it's just a waste of nature. After leaving the monkey group, he walked about a hundred miles and met a caravan passing through the mountains. There were about seventeen people in the team, six of them were martial artists with great martial arts attainments. There was one local civilian, and the rest were all members of the caravan.
Li Changxiao sighed. This caravan traveled all over the country to make some money and went deep into the forest. It was too hard. The caravan chopped trees and pulled weeds along the way to open the way. They could go deep into the mountains, which showed that the martial artists were quite strong.
But they were trapped in a layer of poisonous miasma and could not move forward. Li Changxiao helped them. He blew quietly, and the wind swept away the poisonous miasma. Everyone in the caravan was overjoyed and immediately stepped up to cross this place.
Li Changxiao went through another road. There were constant strange things in the Great Qin Tianling. There were endless strange and ghostly scenes, but it was very interesting to walk. Sometimes when he saw one or two things, Li Changxiao couldn't help but let out a light "eh" and stopped to watch.
In the Great Qin Tianling, there was a unique mountain leopard. It is not big and moves very quickly among the trees. The hair on its chest looks like the face of a middle-aged man.
The villagers outside the Qintianling Mountains call it the "God of the Mountain" and have built a temple to worship it. Li Changxiao thought it was a fabricated creature, or it was just another monk playing tricks. When he got here, he found that it really existed.
But this leopard is just an ordinary beast. Except for the hair on its chest, which looks like a human face, there is nothing special about it. The "God of the Mountain" was hunting a black-maned wild boar. With a pounce and a bite, the wild boar struggled a few times and gradually lost its breath.
Li Changxiao was like a mantis catching a cicada, but the oriole was behind. He drove the "God of the Mountain" away, removed a wild boar's hind leg, and roasted it over the fire to eat. From then on, the God of the Mountain remembered this man. He followed him all the way and attacked him several times.
Li Changxiao scolded it for being narrow-minded. Once, a mountain god flew over, and Li Changxiao was annoyed. He grabbed it by the back of its neck and lifted it up. This leopard, which was deeply respected by the people and looked very strange, was slapped seven or eight times by Li Changxiao. Finally, it left wailing, and from then on, it dared not harass Li Changxiao again.
Li Changxiao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. After another three months, he finally crossed the Qintianling Mountains. Gradually, he saw people's homes in the mountains. Li Changxiao passed by a high mountain and was surprised to see a village on the mountain.
So he stayed in the village. He found a family to stay in for a night. The family was quite simple and warm, and brought good fruits and good food to entertain him, and also let Li Changxiao stay in a clean house for one night.
Li Changxiao walked around the village and found it was not a place where humans lived. The mountain was steep, the paths up and down were narrow and dangerous, and it was isolated from the outside world.
So he asked the family why they settled in the mountain. The family told Li Changxiao that his family had lived in the mountain since ancient times. It was said that several families fled to the mountain to escape a terrible flood. Year after year, they gradually settled in the mountain and were isolated from the outside world.
