Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Stone Stairs and Iron Cables
Mingyu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, "Immortal ladder?" The village chief put his hand behind his back, faced the north of the courtyard, looked at the clouds and mist enchanting mountains over there, and said, "Yes, immortal ladder." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoIt's a very steep mountain trail, and it's so high that there's no end in sight. Mingyu saw that he was fascinated, so he also listened seriously, "From a long time ago, we had a saying that we climbed this immortal ladder, which is where the immortals lived. ”
"Immortals?" Mingyu asked, "yes, the immortals who ride the clouds. Thinking of the time and the old man of wine, thinking that he should be a high-ranking monk who can "swish" and lead people to fly, Mingyu thought for a while and decided to test it according to his statement. "I know...... Two immortals!" The village chief couldn't help laughing when he saw her hesitation, "Haha, so I guess the Qixia faction you said is the fairy mountain I said." Mingyu was surprised: "You know?" The village chief nodded, "The immortal who came to us today should be the immortal that the little girl knows, right?" Is it time?Mingyu nodded, "That's right." The village chief turned around, pointed to the mountains in the distance, and said, "Do you see those high mountains over there?" Mingyu looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a green area between the clouds and mist, towering majestic mountains, and it was not clear how many there were.
"Go all the way there, and at the foot of a mountain with white stones, you will see a stone staircase that leads to the sky, and that is the Immortal Ladder. Mingyu nodded, raised her feet and was about to walk outside the courtyard, the village chief smiled and watched her walk to the door, and couldn't help but think: "Although the time is very short, but not long ago, he did sense the unique aura of immortals, and he can't sense their breath on weekdays, unless he has something to do for himself." ”
That's why he was unusual, and asked Congliu to bring the people he saw outside the valley over, but he didn't expect it to be a little girl, but since the immortal who came here exudes his own breath, he knows his existence, so no matter where this girl goes, the matter of the immortal ladder must be told to her, as for whether she can climb up smoothly, it is not something she has to consider.
At this time, Mingyu suddenly turned around, hesitated slightly, and said to the village chief, "Thank you...... Fellow Daoists. "Fellow Daoist?" the village chief repeated suspiciously, and Mingyu nodded very seriously, "Don't you also have a cultivation of the first level of Qi cultivation." She grinned at the village chief again, and walked briskly out of the courtyard.
Mingyu looked at the high mountain not far away, and said silently in his heart: "Immortal Ladder, Master, I am about to find you soon!"
At this moment, in the courtyard, the middle-aged Taoyuan Village Chief, thinking about what Mingyu had just said, is he a monk? "Cultivating Qi?" "What is a monk?" He didn't have the concept of this word in his mind, so he could only shake his head.
The village chief of Taoyuan Township is named Han Zhiyuan, who is the person with the highest rank among the people of Taoyuan Township, and he is already in his fifties this year.
Surrounded by dense forests, the clouds and mist are enchanting, out of Taoyuan Township is an endless sea of trees, and at the end of the forest is the edge of this huge valley, where there stand several towering mountains, the peaks stretch for hundreds of miles, and it is a particularly majestic ridge in the Luoxia Mountains.
Mingyu held the black sword in his hand, cut off the roots of the tree vines that blocked the way, and rushed all the way, although there were only three layers of Qi training, but it was not a problem to deal with this kind of difficult and dangerous deep mountain and old forest in the eyes of mortals, it was some fog with an unpleasant smell that gave her a headache, but what annoyed Mingyu the most was that she couldn't fly now, when she just entered this dense forest, she could also control the aura in the air to let her fly against the treetops, but the closer she got to the direction of the ridge, the more difficult this control became, and the aura in the air seemed to be restricted by something, so from just now, she could only rely on her own spiritual power, barely speeding up her speed。
After passing through several huge old trees in a row, Mingyu finally saw the mountain wall at the end of the dense forest, and in the forest, a sheep intestine path also appeared in front of her at this time, and the bluestone paved path had accumulated a thick layer of dead leaves, and the bluestone exposed outside the leaves was also covered with moss.
Mingyu slowed down her breathing, just now through the dense forest has consumed most of the spiritual power in her body, and her physical strength is also a little overdrawn, the closer she gets to this bluestone road, not only the aura in the air is uncontrollable, but even the spiritual power in her body has become obscure, Mingyu found a vacant space between a few old trees, sat down, and wanted to recover some spiritual power, and when she entered meditation, the aura that filled her body did not show the slightest sign of entering her body, as if the connection between her and the aura between heaven and earth was cut off.
Mingyu tried to settle down for a while, but only a few traces of almost negligible aura penetrated into her meridians, since there was no effect, Mingyu had to get up, she glanced at the bluestone path in front of her again, and walked up. When Mingyu stepped her feet on the first moss-covered bluestone slab, she felt as if she had completely become a mortal, and the only connection with the aura between heaven and earth seemed to have disappeared, and even the divine consciousness that she had been letting go of to guard against her body was compressed to a little outside her body, except for a little more detail, it was not much different from her own mortal body perception ability.
"I can't feel the spiritual power at all......" The inability to let go of her divine sense made Mingyu faintly uneasy, since the last time she was in Taiping Town, it was the first time that she couldn't grasp the situation around her like now.
She had to walk along the bluestone road, and after going around a few large mountains, she finally saw a mountain with gray rocks.
I saw that the bluestone road leading to that side winds upward, at the foot of the peak not far away, climbing a huge mountain rock, turning into a staircase leading to the top of the mountain, Mingyu raised his head, through the dense canopy, the majestic peak faintly revealed its huge figure, the clouds and mist are entangled, the gray-white huge mountain body in the mountains of the entire Luoxia Mountain Range is particularly eye-catching, the thick rock wall is coiled with dense shrubs, and the whole mountain is embellished with more magnificent atmosphere between the clouds and white stones.
The afternoon sun fell from the clouds, and between the clouds, colorful light and shadow were refracted, Mingyu narrowed his eyes that were a little sour, "Is the master on top of that? It's so high, it turns out that the master is an immortal, and I am also an immortal, haha~" She came back to her senses, looked at the long mountain steps again, and said silently in her heart: "It's finally here, Qixia faction." ”
Following the bluestone path, Mingyu walked to the foot of the giant peak. The long stone steps appeared in front of her, this staircase that seemed to lead to the sky was extremely steep, and it was not too wide, and at this time, Mingyu could not use her spiritual power, so she had to press her body down, clinging to the stone steps, and climbed up. Fortunately, the stone steps were clean, and there was nothing slippery like moss, otherwise she wouldn't have dared to climb up like that.
Mingyu cautiously sped up her speed, although she was no longer able to use her spiritual power, her body that had been nourished by spiritual power was much stronger than ordinary people in all aspects, and it didn't take long for her to climb down the stone steps to a very high place.
Gradually, Mingyu found that the higher the whole stone staircase, the steeper it became, and the narrower the stone steps, if it went down like this, she would definitely have to stumble and fall, she stopped to stabilize her body, peeked down, and saw a dense jungle under a layer of faint clouds.
She has already climbed very high, and if she misses her current situation, I am afraid that she will only die. It would be nice if there was a strong iron cable that could be used to maintain balance, Mingyu thought to herself, but how could it be, she shook her head, it seemed that she had to be a little more careful.
She turned around, intending to continue climbing, and suddenly found that a dark iron chain appeared on her right hand, how could it be?! Mingyu raised her head and looked up, this iron chain hung down along the mountain ladder from the clouds above, and every other section there was an iron cone firmly fixed to the mountain next to the stone steps, which was very strong. Obviously there was nothing just now, Mingyu was stunned in place for a few seconds, then reached out and tried the iron cable, it was indeed very reliable, no matter what, there was no need to worry about falling down now, she grabbed the iron cable with one hand, and began to climb up cautiously, but the speed was obviously much faster.
Mingyu glanced down with her peripheral vision, the iron chain hung down along the mountain ladder to the foot of the mountain, it seemed that this immortal ladder was not a simple mountain ladder, and she couldn't help but be vigilant in her heart.
