Chapter Seventy-Two: The Mysterious Staircase
"Who is it?" Tang Zhi asked.
Unknown enemies are the deadliest, because you don't know where they will appear from, and where and how they will attack you.
In fact, Tang Zhi had a premonition that he had been being watched.
"It's not human, so you can't perceive me. The voice appeared again, a little ethereal, but listening to the voice, you could feel that he appeared out of thin air.
"Don't pretend to be a ghost here, and have the ability to come out to fight. I don't know how to clench the folding fan with one hand.
"I don't have to pretend, I'm a ghost. ”
Hearing this, Tang Zhi was shocked and asked about the Golden Dragon of Zhihai.
"Brother Long, are there still ghosts in this world?"
"Oh~ Yes, no, he should be a soul like me, but the soul should disappear when it leaves the living body, I haven't figured out what kind of existence he is. ”
Tang Zhi settled down, "Brother Ghost, you've been with us for a longer time, I don't know what Brother Ghost wants to do with us?"
Ghost: "What do you want to do here?"
Tang Zhi did not hide it: "I am the emperor of this land, my army is here, I need them now, I am here to find them." ”
Tang Zhi knew that the other party must know the secret of the Dragon and Tiger Ride.
Ghost: "You're talking about the Dragon and Tiger Ride?"
Tang Zhi: "Exactly!"
The ghost was silent for a long time and said, "Did you bring the tiger talisman?"
Tang Zhi: "No. ”
Ghost: "How can you mobilize the Dragon and Tiger Ride without the Tiger Talisman?"
Tang Zhi turned into the posture of an emperor and said, "I just want to know where they are, what are they doing? Now that the Tang Kingdom is occupied by foreign countries, why don't they, as soldiers of the Tang Kingdom, go to defend the territory and open up the territory, what are they doing in this ghost place?"
Tang Zhi recognized that this ghost must have something to do with the Dragon and Tiger Ride, even if it is not related, this ghost must be a courtier of the Tang Dynasty.
Ghost: "Once you find the ancient temple, you'll find the answer." ”
Tang Zhi asked, "Where is the ancient temple, and who are you?"
But the ghost didn't respond, and the silence around them returned to death.
I don't know that Mai took Tang Zhi's hand.
"Let's go, let's go find the ancient temple. ”
Walking forward in this dark night, there is no other way to go, and there is no way home for a long time.
There's no going back.
Tang Zhi didn't know anything about the ancient temple, but only by finding it could he solve the mystery of the Dragon and Tiger Ride, and only then could he know the purpose of Tang Sanshun letting him come here, or that he could leave this darkness.
If he could come, he would rather have no dragons and tigers in the country, and would not have stepped into this dark place, there are too many unknown dangers, and there are countless powerful fallen places, if you mix well, you can get the inheritance, and if you don't mix it, your life will be gone.
Tang Zhi was an emperor who could not practice martial arts himself, and was not interested in the inheritance here.
I don't know how deep down in my heart I am very satisfied, because in this darkness, she can move forward side by side with her intended person, in fact, she has recovered the strength of the Xuandan Realm, and she doesn't care about any cultivation adventures.
She believed that as long as she found a place to practice penance, she could break through to the Yuan Soul Realm, so now she just wanted to help Tang Zhi and spend more time with Tang Zhi, she knew that there were not many days left for her and Tang Zhi to be together.
After walking in the darkness for an unknown amount of time, they spotted a stream of dark blue flames, and when they entered, they found two rows of dark blue flame candlesticks.
Between the two rows of flaming candlesticks are stairs that are high but have no end in sight.
Tang Zhi was puzzled: "Is this the ancient temple?"
I don't know if Wu can be sure that 20 years ago, there was no such step, and there was no ancient temple, who built this step, and what was it used for?
People are often full of anticipation for what they are curious about, and the more curious they are, the more they want to solve this mystery.
"I don't know, but I think we should go up and have a look, and you're curious, aren't you?"
That's right, Tang Zhi also wanted to go up and have a look, after all, compared to walking in those barren places, this place gave him a direction, and if he had a direction, he would no longer be confused.
INTERVIEWER How many people are lost in this darkness because they have no direction?
The stone steps, illuminated by the faint blue flames, are so white that the stone steps reflect brilliance, like a jade belt.
When Tang Zhi and the unknown dancer held hands and stepped on the first step, an invisible pressure was transmitted to them, as if they were carrying hundreds of pounds of heavy objects, and they were almost not overwhelmed by the two.
A voice rang out from within them.
"Welcome back, my warrior!"
The huge pressure came overwhelmingly, squeezing their bodies hard, just like pressing their fingers into a balloon, and the feeling of the balloon being dented to pop their fingers out, a layer of golden mist appeared around their bodies, and Tang Zhi clearly felt that the true qi in his body began to be consumed rapidly.
Tang Zhi and Wu Wu glanced at each other, nodded again, no one spoke, resisted the pressure, they took another step of their own, and when they climbed the second step, the pressure increased again, about ten percent stronger than when they stepped on the first step.
The voice rang out from the depths of their hearts again.
"Very good, my warrior, I am waiting for you at the thousandth and first steps, do not let me down. ”
At this time, the pressure on their bodies suddenly disappeared, and I don't know that Wu and Tang Zhi looked at each other once.
"Who is talking to us?" Tang Zhi asked.
"I don't know, but one thing is for sure, that person is very strong, it should be a strong person at the level of a god emperor. Are we going to keep going?" asked Shiranui.
Tang Zhi: "Do we have any other choice?"
Yes, they have no other choice, they are like two little ants, if they don't follow the route arranged for them by the man, they may be pinched to death by the man with one hand.
Continuing to move forward, although there is no such strong pressure as at the beginning, but every time they go up a step, they will add about a pound of weight to their bodies, and if they continue like this, it is estimated that Tang Zhi will be crushed to death if he does not walk two hundred steps.
There should be no problem for a martial cultivator in the Condensing Realm to lift a weight of more than three hundred catties, but there is a problem with one holding it, and this gravity cannot be removed.
Even if he will be crushed to death, but Tang Zhi still resolutely climbs up, he doesn't know why, maybe it's just to live, maybe he only has this way to go.
I don't know that Wu and Tang Zhi's situation is the same, and her gravity will increase by about 5 catties every time she goes up a step. The weight that the martial cultivators of the Xuandan Realm can bear is about two thousand catties, which is also not sustainable.
Just like the schoolbag carried by a student, the schoolbag is not very heavy to carry, but it will be tiring and painful to carry for a long time, and Tang Zhi and Zhiwu's schoolbags are constantly put into bricks to increase the weight.
