Chapter 23: Ascension
The official road turned into stone steps.
Xu Tonghui himself didn't seem to be sitting on the side of the official road, he seemed to have come to the middle part of the big stone, and then he was standing on this stone step.
Heaven and earth are vast, as shown in the painting.
It's not day, it's not night, you can see the scenery clearly, but it's dim, Xu Tonghui stood on the stone steps, dazed.
Looking forward, his gaze was blocked by the stone steps, he raised his head, his gaze was as upward as possible, but he only saw more stone steps, he turned his head, looked back, and in his field of vision, there were still stone steps extending downward step by step.
And on the left and right, it seems to be all void.
The stone steps stretch out in this void.
At this moment, Xu Tonghui felt a coolness coming from his body, not the wind, but a thin, mist-like thing, falling from the top of his head.
It didn't just fall on him.
But between heaven and earth, there was a mist that came from the endless place above the stone steps, and went to the endless place below the stone steps.
In a trance, I seemed to hear the sound of running water, but it seemed that it was just this mist flowing.
Xu Tonghui subconsciously turned his head to look behind him again, looking in the direction of the mist, but suddenly saw the scene that made his scalp tingle and palpitating - below, the stone steps that seemed to extend into the endless distance were beginning to collapse in large areas.
And the collapse was stretching towards the place where he stood!
Xu Tonghui's whole body was full of hair, perhaps to use that word, "creepy", an extremely cool coldness, instantly from head to toe, through the spine in the middle, seeping all over his body.
Xu Tonghui's whole body was cold, as if he had been thrown into an extremely cold ice cave, but at the same time, his heart was pounding violently, and his strength began to surge in his body, and he began to boil to break the cold and stagnation.
was finally able to move, and the next moment, Xu Tonghui walked up with his feet.
He wanted to run, but he couldn't, his legs were not only very weak, but also weak, and a heavy force suppressed him, making it difficult for him to even lift his feet.
So, he had to bend down, hand and foot on the ground, and climb up with all his might.
This climb, I climbed to the full strength, my hands and feet included the whole body, as if they were no longer my own, and I couldn't move again.
That's not entirely true, because his head still turns, and when he turns his head and looks back again, his eyes suddenly widen suddenly.
As far as he could see, the stone steps he was on completely collapsed, and Xu Tonghui fell into the endless void along with the stone steps.
"Ahh
Xu Tonghui shouted wildly, but maybe the previous desperate rush had consumed all his strength, so this soulless roar was just a low hiss that didn't even reach his throat.
For example, a person is extremely sleepy, nodding and napping from time to time, but suddenly there is a palpitation.
The person is completely awake.
Don't be sleepy.
The illusion disappeared, and Xu Tonghui completely escaped from the trance.
Then, he realized that he was still sitting on the edge of the official road.
Where there are stone steps, where there are endless stone steps, where there are stone steps that lead to the sky, where there are large areas of stone steps that collapse.
However, he does seem to have lost all his strength.
It seems that it has indeed gone through a desperate escape.
Because the whole body was sweating profusely, as if he had just escaped from the water.
"What just now?"
Xu Tonghui was completely incomprehensible.
"I'm ...... Having a nightmare?"
But I didn't sleep either!
Confused by the illusion just now, and also confused by his own situation at this time, Xu Tonghui subconsciously began to be lucky.
Even an ordinary person will feel uneasy about being in such a situation, and will try to recover his strength as quickly as possible, at least part of it.
Not to mention cultivators?
Xu Tonghui instinctively operated the qi condensation technique taught by his family.
But suddenly I realized that something was wrong.
It seems like......
Under the guidance of the Qi Condensation Technique, the qi and blood slowly circulated and operated in the body, and Xu Tonghui's previous palpitations and uneasiness were slowly disappearing, and gradually, he began to immerse himself in the world of qi and blood.
And on the contrary, in this state of being very concentrated, that sentence naturally appeared in his consciousness.
"Yuanfang invades the ancient road, and the stone steps are full of dew. ”
The scent of the trees and weeds, which he had become somewhat familiar with, gradually became richer, and gradually seemed to change from formless to tangible, to something like fog and water.
Then, it becomes "clear dew".
They are like a drizzle, from far to near, from top to bottom.
Falling, sprinkling, and spreading.
It's not the stone steps, it's Xu Tonghui's body.
Xu Tonghui was immersed in such a world all of a sudden.
His body, his consciousness, and his spirit all tried to "let go" as much as possible, wanting to let those bits and pieces of dew pass through unhindered, and give him cool moisturization, as well as as a seemingly meticulous wash.
And in this process, the operation of qi and blood unconsciously becomes more lively and lively......
When Xu Tonghui opened his eyes from the calm of his body and mind, he found that the sky had already brightened, and when he stood up inexplicably, Xu Tonghui suddenly found that it seemed that the whole world was different.
The morning breeze gently swept through the wilderness and by his side.
On the big tree not far away, the birdsong is chirping, which is very pleasant, Xu Tonghui has never felt it, and the birdsong is so good!
Near where he sat before, there were a few small grasses that could barely be regarded as "clumps", and at this moment, these grasses seemed to be in high spirits, and the drops of dew were showing a small world of stillness and movement.
Speaking of quiet, the grass is quiet, and most of the dew is also quiet.
Speaking of moving, the occasional drop or two of dew suddenly slips from the tip of the leaf, making the whole leaf move.
Xu Tonghui was stunned.
He hadn't noticed before, too, that the grass everywhere was so beautiful, and under the background of the dew, the grass seemed to be so ...... Clear.
That's right, it's clear.
Clean and refreshing.
It's not just grass.
It is as if the heavens and the earth that are heard by the ears, the heaven and the earth that are seen by the eyes, and even the heaven and the earth that are smelled by the nose, seem to have been washed whole.
Call!
Xu Tonghui exhaled slowly.
Long exhale, long inhale.
Then in the process, he found that even he seemed to have become much more refreshed!
It was a wonderful and indescribable feeling.
But!
He clearly and clearly felt another difference!
- His condensation cultivation seems to be ...... A little up?
No!
Not at all!
That's a lot!
Xu Tonghui thought it was his own delusion, how could this be?
Then, he instinctively used the Qi Condensation Technique, and then, he felt a wonderful flow.
like the wind, blowing in the wilderness.
It's like water, flowing in a small river.
Like clouds, circling and scattering in the sky.
