Chapter 584 [Only in this mountain]
Hearing Renhuang's words, Lu Shaoyuan's thoughts changed, and he knew that the other party was shrinking.
In his mind, he weighed the pros and cons of various response methods in an instant, and then chose one of them. From Lu Shaoyuan's point of view, even if the Emperor retreats this time, he will definitely not give up the matter of seeking immortals. I'm afraid it will be more laborious and expensive, so it's better to just go to the end once.
So he encouraged: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, 'one who travels a hundred miles takes half ninety', we have all reached this position, so we have no choice but to keep moving forward, maybe not too far away will be the Immortal Cave. If it is only a few steps away If you go back, you may not have such a good opportunity next time."
Renhuang has always been a person with ideas, he received this encouragement, and immediately pushed the scale in his heart to another direction, so he gritted his teeth, continued to climb up without saying a word.
Clouds and mist rolled around, seemingly endlessly.
The road under the feet, after being covered by this cloud, seems to have no end. The climbing time seems to be long and difficult, and the sense of unknown forward and upward constantly impacts the climber's heart.
Finally, the clouds and mists lighten up.
Gradually, you can see the sunlight slanting above, but the darkness is like a bright moon, but this moment gives people great encouragement, and the steps under their feet become brisk. In the end, the surrounding clouds and mist have been thrown to the feet, standing on the plank road, you can see the horizon in the distance.
"It's a beautiful view!" The Emperor seemed to have come back to life, and he said to Lu Shaoyuan in high spirits, "It's just that I can't visit the immortals this time. It's worthwhile to see such scenery."
"It's really wonderful. The ancients loved to climb high and look far, and I think it's the same reason." Lu Shaoyuan echoed.
Under the feet is a large group of tumbling clouds and mist. Although the area is not large and cannot be called a sea of clouds, it is also magnificent. And the air here is clear, even though they only have the eyesight of mortals, the mountains, rivers, villages, farmlands, roads, and woods in the distance are displayed in ways that are not usually seen.
"It's really picturesque..." Human Sovereign said with a little fascination.
Lu Shaoyuan is trying his best to engrave all this into his heart. Although it is not the time to recite poems and paint pictures, he must use words and brushes to record this scene after returning home.
After a while, the two reluctantly looked away and continued to climb upwards.
The edge of the cliff can already be seen vaguely here, and it is indeed not far from the end of the plank road.
The road under his feet suddenly changed from a wooden plank road to stone steps, and the scene in front of him made people suddenly excited. The plank road passes through a groove on the cliff from a slightly protruding place, and there are several caves with doors and windows beside it. Between the doors, windows and stone steps is a large and flat stone surface, which is quite high-end.
The Human Emperor looked around and said happily: "This must be the place where the immortals live!"
Then he was about to go up and knock on the door, and Lu Shaoyuan quickly followed.
But immediately Lu Shaoyuan saw that the Emperor's outstretched hand to knock on the door stopped in mid-air, and soon became depressed.
"Alas... no."
Lu Shaoyuan went up, looked in through the glass on the door and window, and immediately understood why the Emperor had such a reaction. Although the place is clean, spacious and dry, if you look through the glass of the doors and windows, you can only see some rattan boxes, sacks, reed mats and the like, which seem to be places for storing food.
The two of them continued to walk a few steps forward without saying a word, and the Emperor asked: "Lu Qing, why do you think there is a granary here? Do the immortals still have food?"
"Perhaps... After all, the rumors in the world are mostly untrue, but I have never seen what a real immortal looks like."
Fortunately, this place is very close to the final location. After a while, they came to the edge of Xianqi Cliff, and the unpleasant memories of finding the wrong place just now were instantly thrown out of the sky.
There is a stone ring in front of you, and the cliffs on both sides are low walls with shrubs growing on them. There are several tea trees, pines and cypresses stretching out from the edge of the cliff. Lu Shaoyuan also saw two huge birds, one big and one small, which seemed to be eagles or the like, standing on the tree, watching a stranger climbing the cliff, and making two ugly calls.
Through the stone ring, you can clearly see the scenery inside.
The most attractive one is the largest hall among them. Although the hall is average in size, it is magnificent and full of aura. In front of the hall are stone tables and benches, placed under a ginkgo tree.
The crops in the far field on the left side of the main hall stand upright, there are melon stands and large pieces of vegetables, and behind it is a dense jungle. On the far right there are several buildings, and several furnaces with tall chimneys. Directly behind is the foot of a higher peak. The top of the peak is shrouded in clouds and mist and cannot be seen clearly, but there are gurgling water flowing down from the peak, converging into a gurgling stream.
There is a small lake between the main hall and the entrance of the cliff. The water surface in the lake has been covered with new lotus leaves, waiting for the summer flowers to bloom. The mountain stream is rushing and flowing into the lake. There are two huts in front of the hall, and a road and a trestle on the lake lead to their feet.
However, none of them had much energy to enjoy the scenery.
Because the Emperor and Lu Shaoyuan saw together that a man in white was sitting on the steps in front of the hall, weaving something with bamboo strips. The two immediately knew that this was the target they were looking for, so they walked forward quickly. They passed the small pavilion next to it, crossed the small lake covered with lotus leaves, and walked straight to the front of the main hall.
Lu Shaoyuan also carefully looked at the plaque on it, and confirmed that it was the word "No Name". It turned out that the name of this hall.
"The mortals have come to bother me, and I want to ask the elder fairy some questions."
The movements of Fang Chang’s hands did not stop, and he quickly edited the bamboo baskets in his hands into rows. Hearing what the Emperor said, he said without turning his head:
"You two, wait a moment, and wait for me to make this bamboo basket better, so that it will have a beginning and an end."
Neither Ren Huang nor Lu Shaoyuan dared to speak, and stood quietly aside, waiting for Fang Chang to weave the bamboo basket in his hand.
While waiting, they kept observing to see what the surrounding scenery was like. Although they didn't go out much, they learned a lot. Such a beautiful cliff is really a rare blessing, but compared to ordinary people, it is a bit too much.
After working **** the last bamboo buckle, Fang Chang got up and put the bamboo basket aside, and then said:
"You two, please come with me and sit in the room."
At the same time, Fang Chang shook his head slightly in his heart, and thought with a little sigh: "I hope I am not the kind of emperor who'doesn't ask the common people and asks the ghosts and gods". If this is the case, then for the sake of the old people, I have to help no matter what. He put the cups and tilted the teapot to fill the cups of the three.
