Chapter 407: Up the Mountain(2/3)
"drive!"
"drive!"
"..."
Several loud shouts.
The big horse at the front quickly pulled the small carriage towards the mountains outside the county.
When walking, it feels like dark clouds treading on the snow.
If someone observes carefully, they will find that there is a pattern like clouds under the horse's feet.
That's not stepping on the ground at all.
That is truly walking on the clouds.
But now it is to keep a low profile. Although it looks like an ordinary carriage on the surface, the characteristics of the dragon can be seen in the occasional part of this horse.
It doesn't take a while.
The carriage had already driven out of Shannan County, covering an area of hundreds of miles.
Once the carriage left the city, the horse-drawn carriage increased its power and flew away into the distance like a gust of wind.
For a moment, the entire carriage turned into an afterimage.
Less than an hour.
The carriage stopped slowly in front of a high mountain, and even kept pouting there.
The nose also kept ringing.
The whole horse looked very agitated.
It looked like he had encountered something that frightened him, and he was unwilling to take another step forward, either dead or alive.
He glanced at the mountains in the distance.
Uncle Chen couldn't help but sigh:
"I'll leave with the two of us next."
"Your Highness, please get off the carriage."
Uncle Chen put the horse-falling stool down, slowly supported the little prince, and walked off the carriage.
have to say.
Even when the little prince saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel surprised in his eyes.
After all, this is a dragon horse.
A true dragon species with dragon blood.
The only ones who can make him stop so far away are the true ancient beasts, or the top powerful ones.
I glanced at the mountains in the distance.
The little prince couldn't help but say:
"Uncle Chen, do we really want to go up there?"
When he said this, even though he was a prince, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
That's a whole mountain.
In the past, it was relatively easy to go up this mountain, just climb along the road.
But since the imperial court made several renovations to Qingfeng Mountain, especially the changes made after the second prince ascended the throne.
Then the road up the mountain was completely repaired.
It was built tall and long.
Although it looks a bit more majestic, although it looks much taller and more powerful.
But it’s really hard for people going up and down the mountain.
Like this road to the Tianshan Mountains.
Even if a normal strong man climbed up, he would probably be breathing heavily.
Not to mention a young man like him whose muscles and bones have not yet fully grown.
See this scene.
Uncle Chen said quietly:
"Your Highness should understand that most masters need to be tested when accepting disciples."
"If you don't have a firm will, if you don't have impressive deeds, how can you win the heart of an expert?"
Hearing his words, the little prince couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and then he seemed to be energized:
"Uncle Chen, don't worry."
"I will never let you down."
After finishing speaking, he eagerly climbed up the entire staircase.
It should be said that this step of cultivation is indeed a bit anti-human. If you go straight up, it actually doesn't take much effort.
But he just didn't.
It is between the many hills around Qingfeng Mountain that a nine-turn and eighteen-turn staircase to the sky is built.
This is more than ten times more difficult than the original way up the mountain. It's almost like a brain trap.
When he first started climbing, the little prince was in high spirits and looked radiant.
He looks like a person with a goal.
But after he climbed thousands of steps, he could no longer bear the soreness of his muscles.
If he hadn't still remembered his identity as the prince, and if Uncle Chen hadn't been there to support him, he might have collapsed on the ground long ago.
There are two hills in the distance.
Looking at the endless snow-white stairs, especially some of them are already covered with moss, making walking very difficult.
For a moment, the little prince couldn't help but complain:
"When my father wanted to build the Xuantian Temple, which person from the Ministry of Industry did he invite?"
"How could such a project be done?"
He really vomited.
What kind of talent is this that can lengthen a short road to more than ten times?
You have just climbed a mountain, and you still have to climb down. Then you have to climb the mountain again. This time, it really tests one's will!
I don't even know what I thought of, but the little prince's teeth were clenching loudly.
He seems to be suffering from it.
On the other side, Uncle Chen carefully supported the little prince and looked at the little prince who was soaked all over. Although he kept talking, his movements did not stop.
The whole person couldn't help but reveal a smile:
"This is a drawing drawn by Lu Juzi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, in order to serve as an entry test for Xuantian Temple."
"If Your Highness succeeds in your practice in the future, you can go to the Ministry of Industry in Kyoto and discuss this matter with Mr. Lu."
When he said this, Uncle Chen seemed to smile secretly, as if he was gloating about his misfortune.
Hearing this name, the little prince who was gritting his teeth just now couldn't help but froze for a moment:
"It turns out it was his old man who made it."
"This is really his old man's way of doing things..."
At the end, even Chen Bo could hear some helplessness in the little prince's words.
But it's more of a helplessness.
Lu Juzi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was no ordinary person. He supervised the design of most things in the imperial court.
Especially the things in the palace.
There are some things designed that I simply don’t know how to evaluate.
It's a good thing that he has a high position and is powerful. Otherwise, some princes and grandsons would have secretly used sacks and knocking sticks.
After the words fell, the two of them continued to walk forward in silence, or rather, Uncle Chen slowly helped the little prince walk up.
After all, Uncle Chen is a Qi practitioner.
After practicing to this level, I am afraid that the physical potential of some people is no worse than that of some people who have magical powers to enter and exit the physical body.
Although it was with support.
But most of Uncle Chen's role was to keep the little prince standing.
To be continued...
