Cloud Steps
Dawn.
Faint frost climbing up from end of dark night. Crossing over pure white snowy mountains. A moment then fainting full more than half of sky.
A figure draped in red clothes. Stepping void coming from peak of snowy mountain. As if stepping on formless stairs. Step by step returning to grassland surface full of morning dew.
"Hu..."
Thin and weak white steam floating out from Chen Ling's mouth corner. He looking at that qipao figure still standing in front of snowy mountain. Bowing body a worship. 【Great Crimson Theatrical Robe】 lightly brushing under dawn,
"Many thanks 【Senior Sister】 teaching."
"No need to thank me. Is you yourself comprehending extremely fast." Luan Mei expression complexly looking at Chen Ling.
Although saying previous two days Chen Ling faintly groping out 【Cloud Steps】 embryonic form's time. Luan Mei then had premonition. But when she with own eyes looking at Chen Ling between one night then thoroughly grasping. Still incomparably shocked.
Luan Mei looking towards a metal pull cart slowly approaching in distance. As well as the small mountain covered by black cloth on top. Calmly opening mouth:
"You should set off."
Chen Ling turning head looking over. Only seeing 【Third Senior Brother】 Wenren You already pulling that cart. Arrived in front of his eyes. Perhaps is things loaded on cart too heavy. Two ruts leaving behind deep deep print marks on grassland. Good in cart itself enough solid. Moreover didn't have signs of collapsing.
Chen Ling walking to front of cart. Looking at towering black small mountain in front of eyes. Hard to believe opening mouth:
"These... all all are..."
One side's Wenren You. Lightly a pull black cloth. Following 【Fabric】 slipping down. A golden mountain made of countless gold treasures exposed under dawn. Like light bulb generally dazzlingly bright!
Gold crown. Gold scepter. Gold carved flowers. Gold wine cup. Gold necklace. Gold armor...
Chen Ling looking at dazzling golden mountain in front of eyes. Shocked opening big mouth...
Since two lives. He never seen such magnificent scene. Inside here any one gold treasure placed before 【Great Cataclysm】. All are as "corporate slave" he entire life all unable to contact arriving's precious treasure. And right now yet like garbage generally piled in front of him...
Even if is in movie inside separated by screen. All never felt passing such concrete impact force. He between a moment was shocked to couldn't speak words coming out.
"We initially calculated a bit. Here probably has four hundred kilograms." 【Mo Jue】 patted cart full of gold wares, "You transporting to Red Dust 【Main City】 going. Exchanging into 【Copper Coins】's words. Selling a above ten million problem ought to not big..."
"Four hundred kilograms??"
Chen Ling looking at golden mountain in front of eyes. Expression suddenly somewhat weird.
According to gold price before 【Great Cataclysm】. Four hundred kilograms of gold absolutely not only ten million. Furthermore these still aren't ordinary gold. But is gold supreme treasures. Inside any one piece taking out. All are existences can give Cleopatra burial goods...
"【Little Junior Brother】. Selling how much money doesn't matter. Safely returning only then is most important's." 【Mo Jue】 supplemented one sentence, "Necessary time all throwing away also can. Anyway to 【Ancient Vault of the Drama Path】 speaking. These things fundamentally don't count as anything."
Chen Ling nodding head. Like thinking of something. Doubtfully asking:
"Right Senior Brother. I should how to enter 【Red Dust Domain】?"
Last time's Chen Ling. Exactly is because didn't know method entering 【Red Dust Domain】. Losing self in white flower bushes inside... This time again wanting to return direction entering from 【Gray World】 inside. Cannot again issue error.
"This simple." 【Mo Jue】 explained, "You from here all along heading east walking. Meeting a piece of white flower bushes. Finding the most inconspicuous that 【Small Flower】 inside. Then stay at its side... Waiting until high noon time. Circling it left right each turning three circles. Then both hands a clap. Then able to enter."
"...Ah?"
Chen Ling's eyes inside full of astonishment.
Last time hearing so outrageous entering method. Ought to still is in "Journey to the West"... But others that is placed confusing formation. Could it be 【Red Dust Domain】. Also has confusing formation protecting?
If really is like this. Then last time oneself exactly is how entered's?
"【Red Dust Domain】's existence relatively special. Wanting to enter from 【Gray World】. Only able to walk this back door." Ning Ruyu supplemented, "If 【Little Junior Brother】 your 【Rank】 enough high. Then can like us directly using curtain entering. Saving trouble... But this to you speaking. Still somewhat early."
"...Alright. I know."
Several people exhorting Chen Ling for a long time after. Sky color also gradually brightening up. Chen Ling seeing time not early. Then taking black cloth anew covering back on cart. Pulling it slowly walking towards 【Ancient Vault of the Drama Path】 outside going.
This cart is pure four-wheeled trailer. Not having power system. Only able to purely rely on Chen Ling's strength dragging. Good in using his nowadays' strength. Dragging away four hundred kilograms of gold is not problem.
"【Little Junior Brother】. From here going a trip to Red Dust 【Main City】 again coming back. One week definitely is enough."
"No need too nervous. Then treat as one time of tempering descending mountain. Money able to earn how much earn how much. Safety first."
"【Little Junior Brother】. We waiting for you returning fully loaded."
"..."
Several Senior Brothers 【Senior Sister】s at 【Ancient Vault of the Drama Path】 door mouth. Watching Chen Ling pulling a cart of gold leaving. Waiting until that figure thoroughly vanished in Ancient Vault inside. Everyone still didn't go back. But is in place distantly observing something.
"Making a bet ma?"
"Betting what."
"【Fifth Brother】."
"【Fifth Brother】 ah... He almost never left passing 【Clown Peak】 ba?"
"But I bet he definitely would follow passing going."
"I also bet he would go."
"I also am."
"..."
"Forget it. Then still betting what. Go back earlier sleeping ba."
...
Formless curtain being brushed open.
Chen Ling a suit of red clothes. Dragging a black small mountain walking out from 【Clown Peak】 top end. He passed that short and small stone house. Looking inside one glance. Didn't see any figure.
"This guy... exactly wanting to do what?"
Chen Ling couldn't guess through 【Clown】's thoughts. This baffling guy. First is risking life chasing killing oneself. Then again night after night delivering flowers. Being discovered by oneself then like seeing ghost generally fleeing for life. Then consecutively several days all not appearing... Right now Chen Ling already basically familiar with 【Ancient Vault of the Drama Path】. But towards this 【Clown】. Still is not knowing anything.
He shook head. Simply no longer going to think. But is continuing pulling cart walking towards down mountain.
Waiting until he left 【Clown Peak】. Following black earth slowly moving towards 【Red Dust Domain】's direction. On 【Clown Peak】's halfway up mountain. A short and small figure only then sneakily popping out head. Blinking eyes looking at Chen Ling leaving's direction.
He scratched head. That small face smeared with 【White Ash】 full of tangling. Anxiously beginning turning circles in place.
"...Just in case being beaten to death beaten disabled. We substituting him taking revenge exactly is." When 【Master】's words again echoing beside ear. 【Clown】's body abruptly a shock.
He like made up mind. One hand clenching up fist. Making a cheering encouraging posture at chest!
"Iya!!"
His figure leaping outside. Leaping down from halfway up mountain. Four limbs opening in midair. Like flying bird generally gliding towards distance. Transforming into a black point vanishing at end of horizon.
