He probably would give people a sense of mystery just by lying there and sleeping.
After dusk, the night quickly enveloped the land, and Gu Xiaoxiao discovered that the clouds were indeed floating down from the mountains.
Xiangshan is very steep, and monkeys have difficulty crossing many places. It is impossible to climb out of the mountain. Therefore, even if there is no fog in the mountains during the day, few people dare to go there.
After all, that place is rarely visited and there is also heavy fog at night, which seems even more unreliable than the city.
After discovering that the fog came from the mountains, Gu Xiaoxiao decided to go up the mountain the next day to take a look, especially the "Bishui Temple" mentioned by the official before.
Gu Xiaoxiao learned that there was originally a spiritual sect called "Bishui Temple" on Xiangshan Mountain. However, when the court sent people to invite the people inside to leave the mountain, they found that the temple was deserted and only a dozen skinny and terrifying iron men were left.
They are both iron men, and the fog came from the mountains. Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but suspect that that was the source of the whole strange thing.
The next morning, Gu Xiaoxiao decided to go to the clear water in the mountains to take a look.
The mountain road is rugged and complicated, so naturally someone is needed to lead the way.
There were three officials who went to Bishui Temple last time, and the one who looked the most noisy was brought here.
Gu Xiaoxiao discovered that this person was the one who had chatted with her for most of the day yesterday about the strange things happening in the city.
The woman looked like she was crying, and she wanted to slap herself a few times. She sighed, "I should have kept my mouth shut."
Her leader patted her shoulder and said, "Come on, you're the only one who doesn't want to say anything? There's no point in sewing your mouth shut! Follow the Immortal Master well, and I'll give you a raise when I come back."
At this time, the woman couldn't help but look at Gu Xiaoxiao and said, "Master, you must give me the opportunity to receive my salary."
Gu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, follow me and I guarantee you'll be fine. I just asked you to lead the way, but you're acting like you're going to jump into a sea of fire."
The woman who led the way was called Lu Yao. She was talkative and often ran errands, so her name really suited her.
Although Xiangshan is located in the Jiangnan area, it is unusually steep.
After the two left the city, they headed all the way up.
There is a path on the mountain, paved with stone steps, but it looks a bit desolate.
Because the stone steps are severely damaged, some are completely covered with moss, which shows that few people walk on them.
"When was the last time you saw someone from Bishui Temple?" Gu Xiaoxiao asked.
Lu Yao said, "I've even inquired about this matter. The last time I saw them in the city was two years ago."
Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask, "Don't you think it's strange that I haven't been to the city to buy anything in two years?"
Lu Yao pouted and said, "Your immortal masters are like immortals in heaven. How can we easily guess what they are like? I often hear that immortal masters go into seclusion for many years."
Gu Xiaoxiao sighed, and it was difficult to explain to the other party for the moment.
People who practice Taoism will go into seclusion for a long time and practice fasting, but these are only for practitioners above the Moving Mountains Realm.
Practitioners below the Moving Mountains Realm still need to eat and drink when they need to, otherwise they will starve to death before becoming immortals.
For example, although she has already seen the threshold of the Mountain Moving Realm, she is still a big eater.
Chapter 13: Endless Chains
The mountain road is very difficult to walk on, especially in the early morning when there is rain and dew, it is quite slippery, but this only applies to Lu Yao.
Gu Xiaoxiao never feels slippery when walking.
Because she is a practitioner, and a practitioner who has traveled a long way.
At her age, there are almost no practitioners who can walk more than her.
Not everyone has the experience of traveling around the world with an old world traveler at such a young age.
Lu Yao was already out of breath after only climbing halfway up the mountain.
Seeing this, Gu Xiaoxiao swung his Zen staff and rolled the other person onto the staff.
Lu Yao was startled and asked, "Master, what are you doing?"
Gu Xiaoxiao said calmly: "I'll take you away, you just show me the way."
Lu Yao sat on the Zen stick, thinking that it would be good to walk less on this annoying mountain road, and he couldn't help but hold the Zen stick with both hands and nodded.
So, Gu Xiaoxiao carried Lu Yao on her back and walked briskly up the mountain.
Lu Yao thought it was good at first, but later on she couldn't stand it anymore.
Especially when there was a cliff on one side and a mountain road on the other, Lu Yao felt like his soul was about to disappear.
Her entire body was hanging over the cliff. If she fell, her bones would probably be shattered into pieces.
At this time, Gu Xiaoxiao, who was carrying a Zen stick, looked unbalanced in Lu Yao's eyes. She repeatedly reminded him to walk slower, but Gu Xiaoxiao did not slow down his pace of climbing the mountain at all.
There were several times when Gu Xiaoxiao's feet stepped directly on the moss, and Lu Yao felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
But no matter whether there is moss or not, Gu Xiaoxiao has always been very steady.
Soon, the mountain road came to an end.
When Lu Yao was grabbed off the Zen stick by Gu Xiaoxiao, he felt like half of his soul was gone.
Not everyone has this experience.
This level of stimulation almost made Lu Yao pee, or maybe she had already peed, but not much, so she couldn't figure it out.
At the end of the mountain road is a cliff, at least two hundred feet away from the opposite mountain.
Across the two mountains is an iron chain and a wooden cage hanging under the chain.
This kind of design was the first time Gu Xiaoxiao had seen it, and she found it somewhat novel.
In fact, it is because Bishui Temple has no money. You know, the north building of Nuyi Tower also has this kind of mechanism, which looks much more advanced.
To be honest, Lu Yao really didn't want to ride this thing a second time.
Because the chain looks a bit old, if something breaks, there will probably be no bones left if it falls.
At this time, Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't wait any longer and signaled to hurry up.
So the two of them stood in the wooden cage, pulled the mechanism, and slowly floated towards another mountain.
Soon, the wooden cage disappeared into the clouds in the mountains.
In order to avoid any accidents, Gu Xiaoxiao still covered Lu Yao with a layer of energy.
Because she couldn't be sure whether the mist was harmful to ordinary people.
The clanging sound of the mechanism stirring could be heard overhead. Thanks to the inclined slope and the support of the mechanism connected to the formation, the cage moved quite smoothly.
Even when Gu Xiaoxiao looked at the gap under her feet, she felt dizzy.
If one falls directly from here, even the body of a saint would probably die, but the magical effect of cultivation prevents practitioners from falling to the ground in this direct way.
For example, by relying on the means of controlling the weapon, she can at least rely on the Zen staff to land smoothly.
Gu Xiaoxiao has been in the spiritual realm for two years, and her flying skills are already quite proficient. However, although she is a natural spiritual being, her sea of consciousness is far from as vast as Gu Jiu's, so it would be very difficult for her to fly with a flying tool, or it would not last long.
The wooden cage was moving through the clouds and mist when it suddenly jolted, scaring Lu Yao so much that he started chattering.
But soon, the cage returned to normal.
Gu Xiaoxiao soon discovered that they were surrounded by fog.
The fog here was very thick, like milk, and she could only see about ten feet away with her eyesight.
Time passes and the wooden cage keeps moving.
After a while, Gu Xiaoxiao felt something was wrong and asked, "How long have we been walking?"
Lu Yao shook his head and said, "I don't know. It feels like a long time. It didn't feel this long last time."
Yes, the distance between the two peaks is about two hundred feet. Although the cage is not moving fast, it is not slow either. According to Gu Xiaoxiao's estimation, they should have arrived earlier.
Unfortunately not.
The wooden cage kept sliding, but there was still no end in sight.
Gu Xiaoxiao and Lu Yao stood inside and felt as if they had entered a void.
There was fog all around, and the only sound was the clanging sound above my head.
Even Lu Yao, the most noisy person in the yamen, was so frightened that he dared not speak. The world was terribly silent.
After about two incense sticks of time, Lu Yao finally couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Master, why haven't we arrived yet?"
Gu Xiaoxiao frowned and asked doubtfully, "Is there a fork in the chain?"
Lu Yao shook his head frantically and said, "There's only one, and it was the same the last time I came."
Gu Xiaoxiao said: "Maybe someone added a chain in the middle, and we accidentally walked into that chain, so it took longer."
This is the most reasonable explanation Gu Xiaoxiao can think of, but it doesn't sound reliable no matter how you listen to it.
They have been in this wooden cage for too long, and the cage has never stopped moving. If there really is such a chain, how long would it be?
Gu Xiaoxiao looked up at the chain above her head and confirmed that it had not gone back, with a serious expression.
Lu Yao was obviously panicking and asked, "Master, if the chain has a fork in the road, where will we go if we don't go to Bishui Temple?"
Gu Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow and said, "You're the one leading the way, but you're asking me?"
Lu Yao's voice was already filled with tears as he said, "Master, I really don't know about this. I don't come to this mountain often."
In the snow-white fog, the wooden cage that Gu Xiaoxiao was in kept moving forward. It seemed like it was on a road with no end, and it seemed as if it could never stop.
Gu Xiaoxiao has repeatedly confirmed that the chain has always been straight and has no bends.
So what does this mean?
The feeling of panic fermented in Lu Yao's heart, and eventually affected Gu Xiaoxiao's mood.
Because this feeling is really bad.
There is no sky above and no ground below, and the scenery around is simply repetitive. You may even forget the existence of time and yourself.
As Lu Yao said, if such a chain does not lead to Bishui Temple, where will it lead to?
Or will it never stop?
Thinking of this, Gu Xiaoxiao became a little nervous and couldn't help but hold the Zen stick tighter.
At this moment, Lu Yao said, "Listen, what's that sound?"
Gu Xiaoxiao listened carefully and found that there was nothing except the clanging sound of the chains above.
But at this time, Lu Yao said nervously: "Someone is talking in the fog."
She held Gu Xiaoxiao's hand, wishing she could become one with her.
Yes, how could anyone talk in such a fog?
But she happened to hear it, and more than one person heard it.
(PS: The fourth update is complete, please vote)
Chapter 14: Mist Head
The vast fog, like a chain that never ends, and the seemingly ambiguous whispers.
In such an environment, even Gu Xiaoxiao, who had seen some of the world, was a little nervous, not to mention Lu Yao who was next to her.
Judging from the situation, Lu Yao was scared to the point of being almost perverted, and kept muttering something.
It seemed as if she could only maintain her sanity by muttering constantly.
This situation is indeed too terrifying for ordinary humans.
To ease Lu Yao's fear, Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask, "If someone is talking, what are they saying?"
Lu Yao looked around, trying to see something in the fog, but in the end he saw nothing.
She trembled all over and hugged Gu Xiaoxiao's arm tightly, saying in a trembling voice, "They said 'be careful with fire.'"
Lu Yao heard many people's voices, but they all said the same thing.
"Be careful of fire? It's dry?" Gu Xiaoxiao asked in confusion.
Lu Yao hurriedly said, "No, it's just 'Be careful with fire', just 'Be careful with fire'."
Gu Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Yao beside her and guessed that he might be hallucinating or his mind was affected by something.
