On the second day, the empress's Luanjia and all the carriages were left in Yacheng, and everyone set off again.
Those horned cattle were also left in Yacheng.
Except for the empress who rides a unicorn to pray for water, everyone else rides a jumping sheep.
Many jumping sheep still have big leather bags hanging on their sides.
In fact, this is the stomach pouch of a strange beast. It has excellent toughness and can be large or small. It can hold a few people at most. After shrinking, it is no more than the size of a fist.
Ren Baqian had seen them in Lancheng before, but the number was very small.
This kind of stomach pouch has always been very popular with caravans, but now that all the merchants have returned to their respective countries, they have accumulated a lot in Lancheng over the past year, more than 300, and now they are all owned by Ren Baqian. Bought the equipment for flying riders to carry luggage.
It took a long time to get from Yacheng to the entrance of Liuwanda Mountain. The more than one hundred peaks that looked like the pillars of the sky finally showed their complete appearance. The "root" peaks stood there like that. There is almost no angle to the bottom, as if it was inserted there by someone.
From the bottom to the top, it is covered with trees and vegetation growing from the cracks in the rocks. Birds fly around the peak, and from time to time you can hear the chirping of apes from the peak.
I saw overlapping mountains between peaks in the distance before, but they were all behind the peaks.
And these mountain peaks stand in a fan shape outside the 60,000 mountains, like a barrier.
Ren Baqian had inquired in the city before that there were a total of 18 peaks and they were called Zhulinping.
This number made Ren Baqian feel very interesting.
One hundred and eight, it also represents many things in Huaguo.
In Chinese culture, one hundred and eight represents perfection, and many buildings have the number one hundred and eight.
For example, there are 108 railings on the lowest floor of the Temple of Heaven, and 108 stone railings on each floor of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.
In Buddhism, one hundred and eight represents one hundred and eight kinds of troubles, which are called hundred and eight troubles.
In Taoism, this number represents the heavenly gang and earth evil.
The most famous one is the one hundred and eight heroes in "Water Margin", which is the SCO Tiangang Disha.
And there are exactly one hundred and eight pillars here.
This made it hard for Ren Baqian not to suspect that the forest screen of pillars was man-made, otherwise why would there be one hundred and eight? Not one hundred and seven or one hundred and eighteen
But how can these one hundred and eight peaks that rise to the sky be made by humans
If anyone can make it, it is the gods in the sky.
If it is said that this is a creation of nature, it can only be said that it is truly uncanny and amazing.
And there is another strange thing about Zhu Linping.
This pillar forest screen occupies a huge area, I don't know how many tens of thousands of acres, there are dense forests, birds and animals everywhere, and it is close to the outside world, so it is reasonable to say that it is a good place to build a cottage.
But there is not a single village in this Zhulinping.
It is said that a village once moved here, but within three or two years, it fell into disrepair due to various reasons, including natural disasters and man-made disasters. In the end, the people in the village died and fled. After a long time, no one dared to come here. The stockade has been established.
This strange number, as well as this strange rumor, made Ren Baqian feel a certain amount of awe and curiosity towards this pillar forest.
Within the range of this pillar forest screen, there are dense jungles, trees more than ten meters long, and bushes all over the field of vision, and it is almost impossible to see the line of sight beyond five meters.
There are only very narrow paths in the jungle.
The vegetation here grows extremely fast, and it will be covered with new vegetation within a few days after a road is cut out, and a road will gradually form only where people pass by over time.
It seems that plants also know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
If the branches and leaves in one direction are always broken, then this side will not grow again after a long time.
The group took a rest outside the forest, Ren Baqian wanted to touch Qishui's belly from time to time, this obscene behavior made Qishui disgusted, and when he saw him, he lay down on the ground.
Well, I can't touch it like this...
I have to say that praying for water is a good temper.
Even another cat would have to scratch his paw.
After resting, the group plunged into the jungle and approached a pillar peak not long after. Ren Baqian specially greeted the empress, and then jumped onto a branch to pass through to see the pillar mountain.
Then a snake whose tail had been stepped on gave him a bite!
At that time, Ren Baqian had a MM face, like a sun-kissed dog.
Throwing the snake under the tree, Ren Baqian looked behind him begging for help: "I was bitten by a snake, what should I do?"
"Master Ren, this is a king snake, not poisonous." The flying knight who followed behind him was giggling.
"The name sounds amazing!" Ren Baqian smacked his lips, and finally felt relieved when he heard that there was no poison.
"This snake likes to eat other snakes, no matter how venomous it is, and eats snakes, so it is called a king snake." A flying knight laughed.
"Master Ren is going to see Mount Zhu, right? I'm going to open the way for Master Ren." Another flying knight drew out his steel knife and jumped towards the tree trunk in front of him. A blade flashed in the air, and half of the branch immediately fell down.
The half branch was still twisting in the air.
"That's a dead wood snake. It's quite poisonous. If you're bitten, you'll need to find fern sprouts nearby to detoxify it. Otherwise, the bitten place will be swollen like a water tank." Another flying knight said on the side.
Ren Baqian nodded, it seems that there are many kinds of poisonous snakes in this forest, he should just follow the flying cavalry honestly.
Jumping in the forest along the route of the flying rider, he arrived in front of a pillar mountain in two quarters of an hour, Ren Baqian looked carefully at it.
This pillar peak is mainly composed of a kind of gray rock, the surface is rugged and undulating, with extremely small angles, but from a distance it looks like a pillar reaching the sky.
The most interesting thing is that there is a platform at the bottom of the pillar peak, which is completely made of the same material as the pillar peak. It is roughly oval in shape and covered with various miscellaneous trees.
"This Zhu Linping is also called Jian Linping, that's why the circle of rocks below is like a sword's guard, and every pillar has it." The flying rider who came with him explained to Ren Baqian.
"The ancients don't use swords, right? How did the name come about?" Ren Baqian asked, and Feiqi's words made him feel more and more interesting about this pillar peak.
"You don't need a sword. It is said that this name was passed down a long time ago. In the past, many foreigners entered the Liuwan Dashan to find herbs, and they may have been left behind by those people at that time." The flying knight guessed.
"No one comes in now?"
"Yes, but the ones found turned into corpses. They were left alone at the beginning, and the salt mountain in the mountain was poisoned. Now if we see outsiders again, every village will send experts to hunt them down!" said angrily.
This is about the fact that before the first emperor's rebellion, Emperor Haoguo ordered people to poison the salt mountain in the mountains, poisoning many people in various villages, and almost most of the villages died because of this incident. In a rage, the clan fought out and overthrew the country of Hao.
It can be regarded as a typical self-inflicted.
With a flick of Ren Baqian's hand, a golden gun appeared in Ren Baqian's hand. Holding the gun with one hand, he picked it towards the pillar peak. He wanted to see if there was any secret in this pillar peak.
"Lord Ren, don't move this pillar!" The other two flying knights were startled when they saw Ren Baqian's actions, and hurriedly stopped them.
"My lord, if you move the rock on this pillar peak, you will be in danger!" A flying knight said quickly.
"Then God?"
"It's amazing! Someone threw down a stone before, and then died not long after, and the whole village was affected. However, hundreds of people died in half a month, which made people panic. Later, someone found the stone that was brought back and brought it back. , and the rest are safe and sound." Flying Horse hurriedly said, sweating profusely.
You could tell by his look that he was taken aback. Although these ancient tribes are rough, they are still in awe of certain things. Especially in these 60,000 mountains, their ancestors have lived here for generations, and they know that there are many things in these 60,000 mountains that cannot be touched.
Ren Baqian was taken aback by his reaction, if he really can't move like this, many things in this world are quite weird.
Such as Pyritsch.
For example, the pillar peak in front of you.
Immediately put away the gun, cupped his hands towards Zhufeng and said, "I'm ignorant at first, so please don't blame me if I offend you!"
After the clasping of hands, Ren Baqian felt the wind blowing above his head, and hurriedly dodged back.
A half-human-sized stone fell off the pillar peak and hit the ground, rolling twice.
"It's over! This Zhufeng is angry!" The faces of the two flying knights turned pale. It seemed that Zhufeng did have a very important position in their hearts.
Ren Baqian looked innocent: "It was the one who moved first...it has nothing to do with me, right?"
"It's better to go back and tell His Majesty." The two flying knights said in succession.
Seeing the two of them like this, Ren Baqian felt uneasy, Zhu Feng didn't look at it, and followed the two back to see the empress.
The three of them didn't see that somewhere on the pillar peak, a red fox with fleshy wings was covering his little heart.
After climbing for a while, the stone suddenly fell down, startling it too.
The three of them went back and talked about the matter.
The Empress immediately frowned when she heard the words, thought for a while and said, "Since you didn't bring the stone back, it must be fine. For safety's sake, I'll follow you to have a look. Come and hunt some prey as a flesh sacrifice. "
After a while, everyone took a Hua Diao, a Hei Langjun, and an ape to Zhufeng.
The Empress ordered the prey to be put on the table, and after questioning the flying cavalry, she said something sincerely to Zhu Feng, and left when nothing happened.
After this incident, Ren Baqian didn't want to travel around anymore, and followed the empress step by step.
Fortunately, nothing happened the next day, and the hearts that everyone had been worrying about were finally relieved.
At this time, everyone finally arrived at the first resting point - Pingzhai on Pingliang Mountain.
And at this moment... Pichi was looking at a golden feathered eagle hovering in the air with his body arched and his teeth bared.
In the past two days, as soon as it reaches a high place, this Golden Feather Eagle will appear, disturbing it so much that it can't wait to bite and eat that guy in the sky immediately.
But although it has fleshy wings, it can't fly. It has been harassed by this golden feather eagle many times in the past two days, but it can't do anything about it.
So it simply waited here, and when the golden feather carving came down, it would pounce on it and bite off its neck.
