Treasures Down the Mountain Chapter 3

What happened to the place that was said to be inaccessible?! Arthur lied to me!

Under these burning gazes, Felix slowly turned his head and looked at the endless mountains and rivers behind him. The road he came from was hidden in the vast forest and it was difficult to find any traces. However, not far away, a magnificent building that had never been seen before rose from the ground, catching everyone's attention.

Thick ropes stretched out from the bottom of the endless mountain, straight into the peak with a sea of clouds, and connected to the end of the building. On the ropes, a string of terrifying cages filled with people were sliding rapidly in the opposite direction towards the top of the mountain. From the transparent gaps in the cages, one could see the dense crowds crowded inside.

Felix didn't dare to act rashly for a moment.

Suddenly someone approached from the side, and he subconsciously dodged, only to find that the person approaching was the woman who was selling rice cakes just now.

Looking around, all I saw were white arms and legs, and almost everyone was in disarray.

Felix's gaze quickly stopped when it touched the woman's chest. He no longer looked down, but stared at her eyes vigilantly.

"You kid." The woman was not angry when being avoided, but just asked with a smile, "Aren't you hot wearing so many clothes in the middle of the day? And you are standing under the sun, be careful of heatstroke. Come into our shed and hide for a while."

As she spoke, she reached out and curiously lifted Felix's tattered Taoist robe. Realizing that she seemed to have no ill intentions, Felix resisted the urge to open her mouth and was pulled into the cool snack shed.

The woman poured him a glass of water and asked, "Would you like some rice cake?"

Felix's muscles were still tense, and his eyes swept over the rice cakes that were just beaten and displayed on the stall. The steam from the glutinous rice and the fragrance filled the corner. He hadn't been able to hunt for decent food in the past few days, and he was really hungry.

He still remembered what the other party had just said, that food outside had to be paid for. After thinking for a while, he said in a dry voice: "Ten dollars?"

"Yes, ten dollars a bowl."

Felix got an answer, but it was the same as getting nothing. What does ten dollars mean?

He didn't want to appear too abnormal, so after a brief thought, he hesitantly took out a silver ingot from his pocket.

The woman selling rice cakes: "????"

"You took the wrong one." It seemed that it was not ten taels of silver. Felix took back the silver ingot without changing his expression and exchanged it for dollars.

other side:"...?????"

First a piece of iron, then a game coin. The woman glanced at Felix's patched Taoist robe and realized that the young man was really broke. He might be a college student traveling on a budget. She had a headache, but when she saw the other person's handsome face, she couldn't get angry. She had to wave her hand helplessly: "Forget it, forget it. I don't want the money. You can take it and eat it."

It's rare to see such a handsome little boy, and he's about the same age as my son, so it's okay to treat him to a meal.

The moment the other party saw Dayang's expression, Felix realized that he had made a mistake again. He immediately became alert, but he didn't expect that the other party would give him the thing for free in the end.

He pursed his lips and examined her movements, still a little bit unbelieving. But the woman just kept bringing him things while saying something incomprehensible, saying that you can't go out without a plan, and you can't go on a budget so poor that you suffer. Her nagging was as intense as the sound of a mouse.

Felix finally lowered his eyes and silently took the paper bag handed to him. After looking at the soft rice cake in the bag for a while, he suddenly asked: "Aren't you going back?"

The woman immediately laughed and looked at him like a child who didn't know what was going on: "How can you go home so early when you're doing business? We usually close the stall at six or seven. It's hard for adults to make money. You'll understand in the future."

Felix didn't say anything either. He stared at her for a moment and took out something.

The lady boss thought it was money and tried to refuse it, but after a closer look, she realized it was a piece of gray talisman paper, so she accepted it with a smile. She was setting up a stall in front of a popular mountain temple, and had seen many things that were supernatural, so she didn't care much and put it in her pocket: "Okay, okay, Auntie said I'll treat you to a meal, so you don't have to give me this or that, just sit here and rest, and remember to pour yourself some water if you're thirsty."

Someone happened to come over to ask for the price. After she said this, she no longer cared about Felix and hurried forward to greet the customer. When she finished selling the things and turned around, she found that the young man in the shed was gone.

The boss's wife was stunned for a moment, and asked her husband and son, but the father and son were busy working and didn't see when the big man left. She could only laugh and shake her head, putting this little thing out of her mind.

But soon she didn't have time to think about it, because two tourists on the Eagle's Beak Cliff in front of them suddenly started fighting, apparently because they greeted each other's parents while competing for a place to take photos.

Fighting on the top of a mountain is no joke, especially since there are no guardrails on Eagle's Beak Peak. If you fall down carelessly, you will be crushed to pieces. The enthusiastic tourists around came forward to persuade them to stop fighting, but they couldn't stop the two young men who were fighting red-eyed. When the proprietress saw the red, she became anxious and wiped her hands and hurried over to persuade them.

"fcuk your mother! Try to curse me again?!"

"You fcuking squeezed me first, and you still think you're right?!"

"It's not easy to come out for fun. The mountain gods and Bodhisattvas in the temple are watching us. Let's all take a step back. Why make such a fuss?"

"Stop it! That's enough!"

The lady boss also grabbed one of them by the sleeve: "Young man, this place is too dangerous. If you want to fight, you can't choose the mountain! If your family knew, how worried would they be?"

So many people came to persuade them to stop fighting, and the emotions of the two parties had calmed down a little. However, the one in white clothes said something angrily at this time, and the other one in green clothes suddenly became angry and punched the other in the face again.

The man in white kicked back, not wanting to be outdone. The crowd trying to stop the fight seemed to be in the way. The two men impatiently waved away the hands that were pulling them: "None of your business!"

In the chaos, the proprietress was suddenly pushed away by someone. She staggered a few steps with a dizzy head and suddenly her feet felt empty.

A wave of panicked screams broke out in the crowd. She turned around in confusion and saw her husband and son running towards her at the stall, both of them screaming with pale faces. "Juanzi!!!!!!"

"mom!!!!!!!"

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!! Someone fell down!!!!"

The feeling of weightlessness made me dizzy. The blue sky, which I could only see by looking up, now appeared before my eyes. The mountain wind whistled past my ears like a horn to commemorate death.

The proprietress finally realized that the song was sung to her, and she closed her eyes in despair and helplessness.

But the next second, a huge force came from nowhere and pushed her on the back. She felt lighter all over, as if she had grown wings, and flew forward. When she regained consciousness, her feet had already stepped back on the hard ground.

The proprietress opened her eyes in disbelief and stayed in a daze for a few seconds before she realized the fear belatedly. Her legs went limp and she knelt down.

This series of images was so unbelievable and anti-scientific that the screaming crowd was all stunned. The father and son who ran the rice cake stall rushed to the side of the proprietress, their faces already filled with tears of fear.

The sudden change made the two impulsive young people confused. They were frightened by the fact that they almost caused a death and didn't know what to do. They hurriedly surrounded him and asked, "Are you okay? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!!!"

They stopped fighting and came to help the boss lady who had suffered such an unexpected disaster. They also behaved submissively in the face of the angry glares from the father and son. Because they felt extremely guilty, they not only helped the man back to the rice cake stall with their heads down, but also paid for all the things on the stall. Finally, they collected a thousand yuan to give to the boss lady as a comfort fee.

The boss's wife refused to take it. She held her husband and son's violently shaking hands, still in a daze. What happened? She clearly fell down. Her memory would not lie.

Only then did some of the tourists who were watching the excitement react. Several elderly people immediately became excited and said, "This is the Fengyang Mountain God appearing! The Mountain God Bodhisattva has appeared!"

The mountain god appeared? The proprietress looked up blankly when she heard this, but she felt an unusual burning sensation on her legs. She subconsciously reached out to grab it, but only pulled out a handful of light ashes from her pocket.

ash...

She suddenly remembered something, her whole body shuddered, and she looked back at the path down the mountain in disbelief.

"No!" Gratitude and awe surged in her heart. She regained the strength to speak in an instant, spread her palms to show them to the crowd, her throat trembling with excitement, "It was just now!! The master in the Taoist robe just now, he gave me a life-saving talisman!!!"

Tourists watched in amazement at the "life-saving talisman" that had turned to ashes. A few days later, someone leaked the story to the media. Local media came to Fengyang Mountain to interview the boss's wife, which turned the boss's family into a blessing in disguise. Not to mention the sharp increase in the income of the rice cake stall. At this moment, Felix, who had become a hermit master in the eyes of many tourists on the top of the mountain, had already walked to the foot of the mountain.

The rice cake was delicious, and he carefully put away the paper bag containing it.

The way down the mountain was also very easy to walk, because under his feet was no longer the damp and sticky soil in the deep mountains, but the smooth and solid stairs repaired in the scenic area.

It was hard to imagine what kind of power could accomplish such a huge project, but along the way, he saw more incredible scenery.

There were so many people that it was unbelievable. Looking around, they were all naked. A few women were so naked that they even showed half of their breasts or but.tocks. But they were obviously living a leisurely and affluent life, and there was no trace of poverty in their faces. Felix could not find any city with such a bohemian atmosphere from his vague memories and Arthur's previous statements. He, who was dressed tightly, became an outlier among them.

Many people on the road were playing with various squares. Some held them in their hands to admire them, some held them to their ears and talked to themselves, and many more held them high. When Felix passed by, he took a look and saw that the square actually showed the image of the mountains, rivers and people in front of him! And it was vivid and lifelike.

Felix didn't know what kind of magic this was, and wanted to snatch one to study it in detail several times. However, he was not sure about the strength of those who possessed powerful magic weapons. He had also heard Arthur repeatedly warn people not to do evil in the secular world, so he did not act rashly.

In addition, there is a cable that seems to reach from heaven to earth.

He could not imagine what kind of strength it took to lift so many cages on the ropes, with so many humans in the cages, and make them slide in the opposite direction upwards.

Felix secretly analyzed that if the man holding the rope came to fight with him, he would probably have little chance of winning.

Therefore, the mountain king finally restrained his nature and walked very obediently along the way. Even when he saw a squirrel climbing on a tree by the roadside, he resisted the urge to catch it.

Unexpectedly, he did not cause any trouble, but when he followed the crowd to the foot of the mountain, he was stopped by someone.

At the foot of the mountain, there was a huge and solid roof, and under the roof stood a strangely shaped fence. The fence was very low and could not protect people at all. He could easily jump over it, but the pedestrians going down the mountain lined up very neatly at the gap in the fence and then left in an orderly manner.

So Felix also lined up, but when it was his turn, the fence suddenly made a sharp dripping sound.

Felix's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously raised his hand to chop, but suddenly a lazy voice came from the side: "Hey, why are you squeezing! Swipe your ticket and go over."

Felix turned around and saw a middle-aged man wearing a hat walking towards him. At the same time, he saw several people in the fences nearby, each holding a long piece of paper in their hands.

They put the paper on the handrails on both sides of the fence, and then the small gate in front would open quietly to let people pass.

Felix thought about it and seemed to have seen this paper before. It was in the interlayer of the leather pocket that the unlucky ghost offered to him before he was liberated. He flipped through it several times and then threw it away.

The middle-aged man had already walked up to him and scanned him from head to toe. When he saw his strange and tattered clothes, he frowned and asked, "Where's your ticket? Take it out."

Felix said: "It's lost."

The other party's attitude seemed aggressive, and Felix considered the possibility of killing him now or knocking him down and leaving.

However, as soon as this thought came to his mind, he seemed to have heard Arthur's incessant nagging, so he did not move for a while.

The middle-aged man seemed unwilling to give up easily. He pressed his hat and began to ask: "Lost? Where are you from? What do you do? Take out your ID card. What's your name?"

ID card...?

Is it a certificate to prove his identity? Felix suddenly remembered that Arthur seemed to have given him something like this.

With so many people around him, he didn't want to act rashly without knowing his opponent's strength, so he cooperated and took it out from the backpack, then he remembered the other party's questions about where he came from and what he was doing.

To be honest, this question made him a little dazed.

So a moment later, the team leader of the Tourist Security Department of Fengyang Mountain Scenic Area received a roll of worn and yellowed paper.

He spread out the paper in confusion, and what he saw were countless words of different sizes clustered together. Upon closer inspection, they were still traditional Chinese characters.

He struggled to identify a few: "Road...road guide?"

At the same time, the young man in front of him, who had pierced ears and curly hair, but was carrying a backpack and wearing ragged clothes, spoke slowly in a strange, heavy and ethereal tone - "I am the 62nd head of Taicang Sect, Felix."

Security team leader: ...
