Stars fall and locust trees grow

Li Chi was already very hungry and had no strength left. Fortunately, there was no one else on the barren mountain except him, so he didn't have to worry about his image. Therefore, he was too lazy to waste his energy pulling up the big radish. He simply rolled up his sleeves, stuck his butt out, held the radish in his hands and started to eat it raw.

The dozen or so tassels did not taste anything special, but the radish itself was sweet, crisp, juicy, and not at all spicy, and was much more delicious than ordinary radishes.

Before he knew it, Li Chi had finished half of the carrot. As the hunger in his stomach gradually disappeared, his strength was restored a lot. He turned around and leaned against the rock wall next to him, holding his bloated stomach, and burped twice lazily.

"The mountains here are steep and misty. Although it is a bit desolate, it is still a paradise on earth. Moreover... this misty feeling is somewhat similar to the Five Pillars Peak."

The so-called Five Pillar Peaks are actually five mountains of different heights standing side by side. Because they look like a huge palm from a distance, they are also called God's Palm Peak.

Wuzhu Peak is located in Jiangzhou. It consists of five peaks: Bitian Peak, Shiyin Peak, Jiangsong Peak, Huanheng Peak and Weihua Peak. Among them, Jiangsong Peak is the main peak, which is more than 100 feet high.

At the foot of the Five Pillars Peak, there is a vast and deep valley formed naturally. The valley is covered with dense trees, blocking out the sun and shrouded in mist all year round. This is the place where the Juyun Sect, where Li Chi belongs, was founded.

When Li Chi and his cousin Qi Luoxing first entered the sect, they were attracted by the vastness of the valley and thought they had arrived at a paradise on earth. However, they didn't know that this was just the beginning of their nightmare.

Thinking of Qi Luoxing, Li Chi's eyes dimmed uncontrollably.

Xiao Axing's fate was rough. First, his mother died of complications during childbirth, and then his father died in an accident. He became an orphan when he was only two or three years old. Fortunately, his mother Jiang took him home and adopted him, otherwise he would have starved to death.

He and Xiao Axing grew up together. Although they are only cousins, they are no different from real brothers.

When he was five years old, his mother Jiang also died of illness. Before her death, she only took out a letter and asked him to take little Axing to Juyun Sect to find his father's clan to take him in.

Li Chi had no memory of his father. He only occasionally heard his mother mention that he was a collateral disciple of a certain Xuanmen family. He met him on his way away from the sect for training and later married him.

Unfortunately, not long after Li Chi was born, he died in a sect mission.

After Li Chi entered the Juyun Sect, he also asked people in the clan about this matter, but for some reason, he never got any results.

It was not until he and Xiao Axing cultivated to the Xuan Gu realm and were forced by the sect to conduct forbidden technique experiments that he suddenly realized that perhaps his father did not die in the sect's mission, but died in the sect's experiment like him.

At this moment, Li Chi was full of doubts about his resurrection.

He originally thought that after his death, he should have been buried by A Xing within the area where the Juyun Sect was located, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Moreover, in his memory, there were no other mountains in the entire Jiangzhou except Wuzhu Peak, so this place was definitely not Jiangzhou.

Li Chi didn't know how long he had been lying there, nor did he know when and by whom he was placed on this desolate mountain. His mind was a mess.

However, one thing is certain.

That is: no matter what, he would never return to that damn place, Juyun Sect.

But little Axing must be rescued.

As for how to save him, we need to think about it carefully. The most urgent thing is to find a way to leave this barren mountain and figure out where we are before thinking about other things.

Before leaving, Li Chi took some effort to pull out the remaining half of the radish.

As he had no means of storage, he could only stuff the radish into the collar on his chest, and when he felt hungry, he could always lower his head and take a bite.

Without spiritual energy, if you want to go down the mountain, you can only rely on your legs.

Fortunately, the way down the mountain was not as difficult as imagined. The whole way was paved with old bluestone steps. Although most of the steps were damaged or broken, it had no effect on Li Chi.

Going down the steps, one can see many ruins of houses and buildings. Li Chi speculated that this must have been the place where some mysterious sect had its activities, but for some unknown reason it was abandoned, and now only a desolate scene remains.

Although he was a little curious, he only stopped briefly to sigh a few times before continuing on his way. After all, his mind was completely focused on his own two legs at the moment.

We walked non-stop for more than an hour, but there was still no end in sight for the long mountain road.

Li Chi was so tired that his whole body was numb. He felt his legs were straight and stars were appearing in his eyes.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, he really couldn't walk anymore. Finally, he found a relatively flat stone and sat down on it, beating his legs and wailing.

"Ahhh! Why is this mountain so high?! I feel like I'm going to be ruined!"

"Is there any kindhearted person who can save me, the kind and lovely me..."

Just when Li Chi was crying and heartbroken, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a large object slowly approaching not far away.

Ok? !

somebody is coming? !

He quickly stood up, put his hands on his eyes and squinted to identify it carefully.

The thing was about the size of a person, earth-yellow in color, and looked like a gourd.

It looks like a flying magic weapon belonging to some Xuanmen disciple.

However, the owner of the gourd must have just entered the Xuan Gu realm not long ago, and the technique of flying the gourd was not yet proficient enough. Not only was he flying extremely slowly, but he also looked a little shaky.

Li Chi stroked his chin and pondered for a while.

"This person's weapon control technique seems a little unreliable..."

I don't know if he is just a lazy and weakling.

He looked in other directions again, and after making sure that no one was approaching, he finally gave up hope.

Hey! It's you! Something is better than nothing!

Thinking of this, Li Chi finally plucked up his spirits and jumped up from the stone, waving his arms vigorously and shouting loudly in the direction of the gourd.

"Fellow!!!"

"This kind-hearted Taoist friend!"

"It's urgent! Help!"

The owner of the gourd must have heard his call, and slowly turned the gourd around, then continued to fly towards him staggeringly.

Ahhh! I'm finally leaving this damn place!

Li Chi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

But before he could be happy for long, his brows began to frown uncontrollably.

Because he suddenly discovered that the thing he thought was a big gourd was not actually a gourd, but a fat man wearing a khaki robe!

"???"

Li Chi opened his mouth wide.

This fat guy is too fat!

Fatty: Did I eat your rice?!
