Moonlight and wind

Seeing Shan Zimo's stubborn look, Shan Boyu thought it was impossible to persuade him to go back, so he took the small bag from his shoulder, turned around, opened the bag and looked for something. After a while, he put the small bag back on his back. When he stood up, he had a rope and two pairs of climbing tools similar to mountaineering picks in his hands!

Shan Boyu quickly tied the rope around his waist, walked to Shan Zimo, and wrapped the rope around his waist.

"If one of us slips, won't both of us fall with us?"

"Don't worry, young master," Shan Boyu rolled his eyes, "Even if I fall, you won't fall. This is not the first time you've walked this road!"

"Have we walked here before?" Shan Zimo always thought that the owner of this body was a rigid and dogmatic guy who would not do anything out of the ordinary. "Why should we walk here?"

"To sneak down the mountain!" Shan Boyu did not stop the work in his hands. He checked the buckles on the two men's waists again. After confirming that they were correct, he handed the mountaineering pick to him.

"Young Master, do you still remember how to get there?" Shan Boyu looked at Shan Zimo, who was listening attentively, and said, "Forget it, just follow me!"

Shan Boyu squatted down skillfully, turning two mountaineering picks in his hands, and with two snaps, the sharp blades chiseled into the rocks on the ridge.

"The wind on this ridge is very strong, lowering your body will be safer! Let's go!" Shan Zimo squatted down like Shan Boyu, threw away the pickaxe, stabilized his body, and moved forward. Every step was very dangerous and difficult, the cold wind was not only strong, but also extremely biting!

The two of them moved on the ridge for about an hour. "How long will it take?" Shan Zimo asked Shan Boyu, panting.

Shan Boyu looked around and said, "We are almost at the middle of the dragon's spine. There is still half way to go!"

"Ah!" Suddenly a scream came from the valley!

"What's that sound?" Shan Zimo clenched the pickaxe in his hand, feeling a little nervous.

"It doesn't matter, maybe someone in front fell down!" Shan Boyu said lightly.

"How come there is someone?"

"Young Master, you have a bad memory! Have you forgotten how the stick came in? It went through here! Maybe someone else is taking a risk again! It's a common thing, nothing surprising, let's go!"

There were several times when Shan Zimo nearly fell down. The pickaxe only penetrated the ice and snow covering the ridge but did not embed into the rock. The whole piece of ice fell off, causing Shan Zimo to lose his balance and fall off a six-hundred-foot cliff!

Fortunately, Shan Boyu was extremely responsive, and he could rescue Shan Zimo in time if he showed any abnormality! The two of them trembled as they passed through the dragon's spine!

"Young Master, if we climb over this cliff, we can go around to the back of Grandpa's stable. At this hour, we can quietly lead the horse out!"

The two men stood up from the dragon's ridge. In front of them, there was a cliff that seemed to be cut in half, extending straight into the bottomless valley.

"The little Dragon's Ridge is nothing more than this!" Shan Zimo put his hands on his hips and looked back at the long and narrow ridge hidden in the clouds, "What can this cliff do to me!" Extreme self-confidence swelled in Shan Zimo's heart!

Shan Boyu still didn't untie the rope between their waists, and the two climbed down the cliff side by side. As they climbed, Shan Zimo's desire to win ignited in his heart, and he always wanted to be one step ahead of Shan Boyu. Shan Boyu was worried about him, so he also climbed faster, which made Shan Zimo climb down faster!

Bang! The pickaxe didn't dig into the cliff, so Shan Zimo raised the pickaxe and dug it down again. This time, the force was so great that the pickaxe head was knocked off! Without a fulcrum, Shan Zimo suddenly lost his balance, and one hand frantically groped for a grip on the cliff!

Shan Boyu felt the rope around his waist shaking violently, "What's wrong, young master?"

"It's okay, the pickaxe is broken!" Shan Zimo finally grabbed a protruding rock.

"Young master, you use mine!" Shan Boyu pulled out the pickaxe that was chiseled into the cliff with both hands, jumped down, and fell rapidly. Next to Shan Zimo, two pickaxes were chiseled into the cliff again. He stood firmly, pulled out a pickaxe and handed it to Shan Zimo.

"Wow! That's awesome!" Shan Zimo was stunned by Shan Boyu's agile movements!

"What's this? Wasn't it like this every day when I walked this road with the young master?"

"Oh, you mean I'm holding you back today!"

"That's not what I meant. Come, young master, a pickaxe!" Shan Boyu handed Shan Zimo his pickaxe.

"what would you do?"

"I can use a pickaxe...try it!"

"Forget it, what if you fall again and pull me up with you?"

Shan Zimo hung on the cliff, suddenly raised his legs, touched his boot with one hand, and took out the dagger, "I'll use this!"

Shan Zimo took out a shining dagger and gently thrust it into the cliff. The hard rock seemed to have turned into a soft cake, and the dagger was easily inserted into the cliff!

"It's really an unparalleled sharp blade!" With the help of this dagger, Shan Zimo went down the mountain faster, and Shan Boyu had to jump down continuously to catch up with Shan Zimo.

Finally, the two of them reached the bottom of the cliff, and Shan Boyu untied the rope between them. It was still dark at this time, and Shan Boyu led Shan Zimo to grope his way to the stable.

"Young Master, you got up quite early!" A voice suddenly came from the dark stable, scaring the two men so much that they stood still and didn't dare to move.

After a while, the hunchbacked old man came out. "Are you going out?"

"Yes, the master wakes up quite early!" Shan Zimo smiled awkwardly.

"I'm old, so I feel light!" The hunchbacked old man untied the reins and led out their horses. "Oh, by the way, there's a young man coming down the mountain at the mountain gate, cursing his mother. He's been cursing all night!"

"Don't worry about him. He'll leave when he gets tired of scolding me!"

After bidding farewell to the hunchbacked old man, the two quietly rode their horses towards Wudu. When they arrived at the pass, it was already noon, and after a simple registration, they ran towards Wudu City.

"Miss Yunfang, the informant reported that Young Master Shan has arrived in Wudu!"

"It's finally here! It's time to do our deal!"

"Report! Princess, the guards at the pass are here to report that Young Master Shan has arrived in Wudu!"

"Listen, it seems that your punishment is exempted!" Princess Jinyu left the West Office with the palace maids.

"Young Master, where are we going? Shall we go back to Longyin Villa first?" Shan Boyu followed behind Shan Zimo.

"No hurry, we still have to visit an old friend first!"

"Who?"

"Ms. Yunfang, the top girl in Jinxiufang, has someone held captive there!"

"Bai Yu really doesn't understand, what is the relationship between you and that Miss Que? I don't remember you two knowing each other before?"

"It's a long story. Maybe we met in another time and space!"

"I really don't understand what you are saying, young master!"
