Lanling Ji

"Brother Ba, that's the Phantom Peak." Ji Rulian led the horse and pointed to the peak without a top not far away.

Ye Lanling raised his head, thinking that the imaginary peak that he had conceived in his mind would not be unexpected, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he was still extremely surprised.The looming mountain has always been lofty into the clouds, but its top cannot be seen.A few miles away, a breeze of unknown direction began to blow, like lifting the lid of a boiling water pot, and a large cloud of steam headed up.It's just that one is dry and cold and tingling, and the other is hot and humid.

"Going further is the Great Rift Valley. I want to see how you let us pass." Ji Rulian curled his lips, looking like he was waiting for a good show.

Ye Lanling didn't speak, just smiled, followed Yong and Ji Rulian to the mysterious and unknown peak.

Half an hour later, the three of them finally walked out of the desolate "sub-ecological" forest overgrown with weeds, and their vision suddenly became clear.In front of an open field made of sand and gravel, there is the Great Rift Valley that has never been crossed.As Yu Wenxian described, behind the 50-foot-wide abyss is a phantom peak that rises from the ground. It is covered by this piece of gravel within a radius of [-] miles. What is there, probably only the gods know.

"Okay, here we are. Now I'll sit here and see what you can do." Ji Rulian settled the horse, found a big dry stone and sat down firmly.

Ye Lanling looked around, thought for a while, and planned to walk to the edge of the rift.At this moment, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"I'll go with you." Yong walked to Ye Lanling's side, and the directionless wind blew everyone's hair loose.

Ye Lanling looked sideways, looked at Yong for a while, and then continued to walk forward.When I came to the edge of the rift, I took a closer look at the [-]-foot-wide ravine, which seemed to be split open by a sharp axe.Ye Lanling didn't poke his head to look at the bottom of the valley, because that would be a very stupid thing to do.He tore off a piece of long hair, pinched it in his hands, hung it above the rift, and then let it go gently, only to see that the unbound hair was blown left and right by the airflow from bottom to top, and slowly floated upwards go.Ye Lanling looked up at the hair gradually disappearing into the air, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if everything was expected.He turned his head and met Shang Yong's suspicious eyes, "Help me unload the box, will you?"

Yong frowned, looked at Ye Lanling with a firm expression, after a while, turned around, and walked towards the horse.

Ye Lanling looked at Yong, who seemed to have become a little "behaved", and the smile on the corner of his mouth grew stronger.No one noticed this unknown expression, not even Ye Lanling himself.He slowly squatted down, picked up a small stone by his feet, and began to calculate something quickly on the sand.When Yong returned to Ye Lanling's side again, he had already stood up, rubbed his sore wrist, and said with a relaxed face, "It's all right now."

Yong followed Ye Lanling's line of sight to look at the large inexplicable thing on the ground, which he had never seen before, and seemed to be some kind of special symbol.

"If the measurement of the width of this rift is accurate, then we should start here." Ye Lanling stepped back about 30 meters while talking to himself about his thoughts, then stopped and nodded with his feet The ground, and drew a circle as a mark, "Let's act quickly." After speaking, he immediately turned and walked towards the box of tools, regardless of whether anyone was left on the spot.

Yong pursed his lips, looking at Ye Lanling, who had little energy, for a moment, he seemed to feel his own heartbeat.

Ye Lanling opened the wooden box on the ground and took out all the things inside. After thinking for a while, he waved to Yong who was not far away.

"Hey! What's the matter with you! Brother Ba, you come and go at will?" Ji Rulian, who had been sitting on the boulder with his head on his head, stared at Ye Lanling's every move. He actually waved at Big Brother Ba, who jumped up and roared angrily.

"Ah?" Ye Lanling was stunned by Ji Rulian's unpredictable temper, "That's... I need a long bamboo, but I forgot to bring an axe, so I think Yong will have a solution."

"You! Are you saying that I have no brains and can't come up with ideas?" Ji Rulian rushed in front of Ye Lanling, put his hands on his hips, and glared.

"I'm not……"

"You are! You are!" Ji Rulian saw Yong approaching, and rushed to Yong again, "Brother Ba, he... He underestimated me, he even said that I can't even handle a bamboo."

"Ah...it's just a misunderstanding, I didn't..." Ye Lanling waved his hands helplessly, he didn't know how to deal with such a moody child.

"Then you go get it."

"Eh!" Ji Rulian stopped making noise, and when he heard Yong's cold words, he secretly groaned.It's really bad, Big Brother Ba hates yelling the most, why am I so stupid, I lose my mind when I meet that Ye Lanling, and everything is in chaos, it's all his fault!Ji Rulian turned his head and glared fiercely at the helpless Ye Lanling behind him, "I can bring any kind of bamboo, just tell me, I won't let you look down on me!"

"This... I want to say that I forgot to ask Master Yu to prepare an axe."

"Ax?" Ji Rulian closed his eyes, picked up a small stone with his foot, kicked it up, and grabbed it.The other hand slapped hard, and the palms were closed.When it was opened again, the stone had turned into powder and disappeared.

Ye Lanling stared blankly at Ji Rulian's martial arts, which seemed to be crushed by a boulder in his chest, secretly surprised.I didn't expect such a thin body at such a young age to have strength that should not be underestimated. "Just on the way, I saw a bamboo forest, so I asked Brother Ji to pick a 12-meter... oh no, I mean about four feet long. bamboo."

"Is this enough?" Ji Rulian shook his braid habitually, "Just wait, it will be ready soon." Turning around, the slender figure jumped towards the bamboo forest.

Ye Lanling looked at the figure for a while, shook his head with a wry smile, bent down, and picked up the sharp dagger with a hollow handle that could fit a fist.He then rolled up the extra long rope, straightened up, and smiled apologetically at Yong, "Please help me get the other tools."

Yong glanced at the pile of messy things, looked at the thick rope wrapped around Ye Lanling's wrist, and frowned.Suddenly, he picked up the dagger and the rope in his hand, put them into the wooden box, closed the wooden lid, picked up the box casually, and looked sideways, "Where do you put it?"

"That... over there." Ye Lanling was slightly surprised by Yong's behavior, and pointed to the place that had just been marked, "Please follow me."

"Bang!" The wooden box was placed outside the circle, Ye Lanling squatted down, opened the box, and began to take out all the things, and put them on the ground one by one.He picked up the rope, measured it with his hands for a while, then picked up the dagger, and cut five sections about one meter long evenly. One end of the remaining rope was tied in the handle of the dagger, and the other end was free.

Standing beside Ye Lanling, Yong watched him concentrate on playing with these things. In this dry and cold air, a thin layer of sweat leaked from his forehead, his flushed cheeks and piercing eyes flickered from time to time. Will show a satisfied smile.These are things Yong has never seen before.

"Crack!" A crisp cracking sound across the silent canyon, followed by the sound of trees falling.Ye Lanling looked towards the bamboo forest in the distance, it seemed that Ji Rulian had already got the bamboo.

After a while, Ji Rulian ran over dragging a long bamboo, and the dead leaves on the bamboo poles that had been completely withered were constantly floating with the wind and sand, "How? If I say yes, I will definitely do it."

"Thank you." Ye Lanling couldn't help smiling when he saw Ji Rulian's proud but slightly childish face.This young man...although sometimes he speaks maliciously and suddenly gets angry for no reason, but towards him, he is not angry at all, probably because he is just a child like Shen Ning.Shen Ning... In just one day, he actually missed him a little. This feeling of missing him appeared a long time ago, when his mother was still there... This kind of missing his relatives...

"Hey, why are you in a daze?" Ji Rulian saw Ye Lanling staring at the bamboo and said nothing, "This bamboo will not fail to meet your requirements."

"Oh, no." Ye Lanling came back to his senses, lowered his head, and carefully examined this crucial bamboo.The section with a large mouth at the bottom is rough but clean, and seems to have been interrupted by Ji Rulian's palm. The bamboo pole has no gaps or cracks and is elastic.He walked towards the top of the bamboo, holding the dagger tied with the rope in his hand.He squatted down, and after comparing his hands, he began to chisel the bamboo pole with the dagger.

Now that everything you need is complete, the next step is...

After chiseling a palm-sized opening, Ye Lanling picked up one end of the rope and put it into the marker, then raised his head, "Can you please stand the bamboo on the rope inside this circle, and insert it into the soil until it reaches this position?" He used his dagger to cut a hole two meters from the bottom of the bamboo pole.

"Hey, don't always tell us to do this or that, but you just talk there." Ji Rulian curled his lips, showing reluctance.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, I really don't have enough strength, this time it all depends on your strength." Ye Lanling stood up and patted the dust stuck to the hem of his clothes.

"I don't want it." Ji Rulian turned his head, ignoring Ye Lanling's request.

"Go away." Yong suddenly said, and after pushing Ji Rulian away, he held the bottom of the bamboo with one hand, grabbed the top with the other, turned sideways suddenly, and fell to the ground, where the bamboo was standing in the circle.Yong did not stop, and continued to insert it under the marked mark according to Ye Lanling's request, and one end of the rope was also brought into the ground.

"Thank you...thank you." Ye Lanling stared at Yong's swift and quick movements, and even his expressionless face without taking a breath. He pulled the strong rope, "However, the next step requires the cooperation of the two of you."

"No way, you really treat us like slaves." Ji Rulian danced exaggeratedly, "You are the only one in the world who can be so bold. If my brother finds out...don't dare to think, don't dare to think about it. Will be laughed to death by him."

"Hehe, if we cross this untouched chasm, then you can talk about it loudly in front of your brother, and he won't make fun of you in the future."

"You are very optimistic. I don't know what your plan is until now, so don't talk big."

"Try everything, if you don't try, how will you know it won't work?"

"And what if it fails?"

Ye Lanling looked sideways, smiled slightly, and said calmly, "If you don't succeed, you will be rewarded."
