Chapter 247 The Immortal Bridge on Yunding Mountain
"It is rumored that thousands of miles to the south, there is a mountain in Yuefu called Yunding Mountain. It is said that it stands on the top of the cloud. No one knows how high it is, and no one has ever been able to climb it. There is a bridge on Yunding Mountain. The bridge was built by the gods, called the Immortal Bridge, and you can see the immortals after crossing the immortal bridge, and you can ask the immortals for the technique of immortality.
As soon as the words fell, a smart child couldn't help it.
"Old man, you said that no one can climb this mountain, so how do you know there is a bridge on the top of the mountain?"
The old man in tattered clothes blushed, and said angrily: "You kid still listen to the story, don't interrupt me if you want to, and I won't say it anymore!"
"Stop making trouble, little tiger, sit down, old man, go ahead and talk about it, what happened next?"
"I said don't call me Xiaohuzi, I have a name..."
The child muttered in a low voice, but was covered up by the old man's voice, until he was attracted by the story again, and there was only the old man's calm voice all around, as if the wind had subsided a lot.
"There was a man who heard this legend, he wanted to become an immortal, so he resolutely set foot on Yunding Mountain, determined to see the immortal and seek immortality, so he left his wife and children and started to climb the mountain. He left at the foot of the mountain. Ten years, the mountain wind is warm and the scenery is just right, but the years have left marks on his face, he began to miss his wife and children, but thinking of the technique of immortality, he gritted his teeth and continued to climb."
"Walking on the mountainside for another ten years, the scorching sun was scorching like hell, and even the wind was scalding like boiling water. He wanted to go home, but thinking of the dream of immortality and immortality, he still chose to persevere and go up again. After walking for another ten years, the flowers and plants are gone, the world is like a desert, he can't walk anymore, but he can't see the way down, there is only a white cloud, so he can only continue to walk forward."
"He walked to the top of the peak for another ten years. There was a heavy goose feather snow in the sky, the ground was covered with a thick layer, and every foot was deeply immersed in the snow. He finally reached the top of Yunding Mountain and saw the legendary Shenxian Bridge. At this time, he has changed from an ambitious young man determined to become an immortal to an old man with white hair. He wants to step on the fairy bridge, but his legs are shaking and he can't get down. He only hears the sound of the fairy bridge. Immortal music bursts, as if the immortals over the bridge are welcoming him, but he can only barely stand with all his strength, and can't take even a single step."
"In a trance, listening to Xianle, he thought of his beautiful wife, his lovely daughter, and his son who was just walking, but now his wife and children don't know where they have gone, so he looks like Standing like a statue on the bridge for ten years, the cold wind swept across his face like a knife, and the snow was flying. I don’t know where the strength came from. He gritted his teeth and stepped over the fairy bridge. At that moment, his white hair instantly turned black. His withered face became rosy and full, his already sour clothes turned into a white robe, cranes flew around him, and his ears were filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants."
A few children were confused, but it was this vague feeling that attracted them and gradually opened their eyes.
"Sir, has this person become an immortal?"
"Old gentleman, has this person stood on the bridge for ten years without eating?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, and looked at the child who spoke the last word with a dark face. He shrank his head and did not dare to speak. There was no doubt that it was the one who made trouble before.
"This person didn't become an immortal, he turned around and left, and it took another 40 years to go down the mountain. At that time, he became an old man and disappeared from the world!"
The children were immediately puzzled!
"what?"
"Why, he has walked to the Immortal Bridge, why can't he become an immortal?"
"Sir, you lied, you said that you can live forever if you walk across the bridge of immortality!"
The old man pretended to be smiling, but didn't answer.
When Anyang heard this story full of loopholes, he couldn't help laughing, and casually interjected: "Because he has already awakened at the head of the fairy bridge, he has no wife and children, so what is the meaning of immortality!"
The old man was stunned for a moment, then turned his head: "You scholar has broken a word, and it's not too pedantic!"
A few children suddenly looked at Anyang, and the mischievous little kid pointed at him and said, "So it's you, a useless scholar!"
Anyang was stunned: "You know me?"
The little boy said, "Of course I recognize you. You are the son of the fourth An Lao Si who sells tea at the gate of the city. My mother said that you can't get into the fame. It's embarrassing to ask your father to cook and do laundry for you when you are so old!"
Anyang touched his nose, and his expression suddenly became helpless, who said that the system is set like this.
Seeing that he didn't speak, a group of children were quickly distracted and continued to struggle with the previous story.
"Sir, is it really what he said?"
"How do I know that the person who asked for immortality is not me, and I just listened to others."
"Then I will also seek longevity when I grow up. I will also climb that mountain and cross that bridge, and I will become a fairy!"
The old man's face changed slightly: "How can you do it! Have you forgotten what I told you before the story, you can't learn from the people in the story!"
The child doesn't care about him: "I want it, I don't care about it, I just want to become an immortal!"
Anyang laughed softly and said, "Child, where are the stories of becoming immortals, they are all fake, maybe you finally managed to go to Yuefu, thousands of miles away, and you don't even have Yunding Mountain! "
He originally wanted to persuade the child, but unexpectedly, it caused the old man's dissatisfaction.
"Hey, young man, don't believe anything, Yunding Mountain is so high, and it covers thousands of miles. You just need to go to Yuefu and ask anyone, and you will know whether there is this mountain, and the legend of Yunding Mountain is in Yuefu. It can be heard everywhere, maybe only when you climb Yunding Mountain, you will know whether this is true or not!"
Anyang was stunned when he heard it. To be honest, the system sent him to this ordinary and ordinary world on the surface. He believed that this world had extraordinary power. Otherwise, what was the point of the system, but if you want to climb a mountain? He would never believe that if he could become an immortal and cross a bridge, he would be able to live forever.
"Could it be that there are still immortals in this world?"
The old man let out a long laugh: "Does anyone know, even if there is one, who can see it except the one who stepped on the bridge of immortality?"
Listening to his specious answer, Anyang twitched the corners of his mouth: "I don't believe it anyway."
The old man's face suddenly became serious again: "It's a good thing for young people not to believe in gods, but it's not good to blindly oppose it. I don't know if there are gods in this world, but there are ghosts and Taoists everywhere. Haven't you seen it? As for the end of Yunding Mountain Whether it's true or not, you can see it when you go to Yuefu, if it weren't for Xianshan, how could there be such a high mountain?"
How tall is it, higher than Mount Everest?
Anyang is a little unpredictable when he thinks about it.
In this era, Mount Everest is not something that ordinary people can climb, not only Mount Everest, but also many Daxue Mountains that ordinary people cannot climb. Even in the real world, there are many mountains that are difficult to climb, such as Gongga Mountain in Yizhou Province and the famous K2. Wait, I don't know how many national mountaineering teams have been damaged, and the climbing mortality rate has been high for a long time. Without oxygen tanks, high-end jackets and other equipment, it is absolutely impossible to conquer it.
No one can climb it. This Yunding Mountain is also deified like Gongga Mountain, but he doesn't know the specific difference between the two, but it really needs to cover a thousand miles as the old man said, and it needs to be climbed. It takes 40 years to climb up, so he doesn't quite believe it. The gravity, animals and plants of this world are the same as the earth, and they are also ruled by humans. If you think that the other differences are not big, then some problems are simple.
Because of the geology and the strength of the stone, it is impossible for such a high mountain to appear in this world. Even if the gods really squeezed such a mountain, it would collapse due to various reasons, and the place so high, not to mention whether there is a rush Out of the stratosphere, the oxygen content and air pressure at such a high altitude can make an unprotected person die instantly, and who can climb up?
Seeing that he stopped talking, the old man started to pick up the remaining cake and nibbled it, completely ignoring the eager eyes of a group of little kids around him.
"Sir, say one more thing, one more thing."
"No, I can't get enough of these two cakes."
"Wait, old man, I still have two sweet potatoes at home, I'll get them for you!"
After half an hour.
"Hiccup, your sweet potato is so sweet, what do you want to hear, say!"
A group of children learned to be smart this time, and they all turned their attention to the little girl who brought the sweet potatoes.
"Sir, I want to hear about love."
"Okay, let me tell you a story about a fox demon who came to a human city and fell in love with a scholar!"
"Yeah!"
...
Anyang has no intention to listen to the rest of the story, even if the voice came into his ears, he didn't care much, it was nothing more than the fox demon who met the scholar by chance, and then made a promise to him. Classical magical love stories naturally didn't interest him. At this time, his mind had been stuck on the unpredictable Yunding Mountain. Hearing the old man's words made a lot of things, what people in Guangdong Province knew, he really wanted to see experience.
Anyway, Bingzhou and Yuefu are only a thousand miles apart, that is, five hundred kilometers. At the speed of armor, it is time to eat a meal.
Thinking like this, there was a commotion on the other side of the stone arch bridge, and there was a faint shout of juggling.
Anyang got up and glanced in front of him, and suddenly became interested, patted the leaves and dust on his body, looked at the old man who was a little unhappy, and ran towards the bridge. These few days are really boring, and there is absolutely no entertainment to pass the time. It's good to watch the tricks of this world. How can it be boring than lying under a tree and basking in the sun?
When I got closer, I saw that it was a trick, and the man was actually a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe.
