Chapter 163: Mountains and Rivers
Deep dark passages, cautious two.
The faint light of the cold pearl couldn't even illuminate the figures of the two of them, perhaps those figures had already blended into the darkness behind them.
However, the further they went, the more determined they became, for they heard the sound of water, albeit small. It seems that there is a real possibility that the front is an exit.
The footsteps of the two of them became faster and faster, and after three turns and two turns, there was slowly water flowing down along the ground, and the water became more and more urgent.
Finally, in front of them was an extremely open field, a dark river, which was flowing noisily into the distance. Perhaps, this is where the water in the mountain gathers.
But these are not the most appealing to them.
Their eyes were fixed on a large stone platform beside the dark river. The stone platform was square, a hundred zhang high and a hundred zhang wide.
This is not something that comes naturally, it's something that comes from man.
But who has such magical powers to turn such a large rock into such a square stone platform?
"I'll go check it out first. Zhao Luojia's figure flashed, and then he floated up and walked towards the stone platform.
Ling Xujing has its own enviable features, and it is really good-looking.
This dark river is still difficult to stop Duanmu Xu. He urged Jin Pan's secret method, and with his own strength, he stepped on the reef that occasionally appeared on the water, castrated like the wind, and soon reached the side where the stone platform was located.
However, this stone platform made Duanmu Xu helpless.
The stone platform was so high that he couldn't jump up with brute strength. The stone wall is unusually smooth, and there is no point in focus, and the idea of climbing is also cut off.
Zhao Luojia fluttered on the top of the stone platform. On the flat stone platform, there are only four stone pillars in the center, and in the middle of the stone pillars is a small altar.
There is such a mysterious place in this mountain, anyone is inevitably curious. Zhao Luojia was a little taller, and then came to the stone pillar.
The stone pillar seemed to have been cut by someone several times, and it was unusually smooth.
However, on that altar, there is a passage, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, and it is written with great spirit.
"I am between heaven and earth, like a small stone and a small tree in the mountains. If you can get out of this heaven and earth, you may sit and watch with heaven and earth. Ling void or spiritual void, void self and no self. ”
It is followed by a line of small words, "Such an altar is reserved for those who are destined." ”
Zhao Luojia looked at these words, as if he had a feeling, not in the meaning of the words, but in the gesture of the words, those words of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, as if they were jumping figures, which was very fascinating.
Those words seemed to be beating one by one, and Zhao Luojia couldn't help but walk to the altar and sit cross-legged.
The originally ordinary altar, after Zhao Luojia sat on it, suddenly shone brightly. But what surprised Zhao Luojia was that she seemed to hear a person's voice, a little old and a little expectant, "Ling Xuan or Lingxu, empty self and no self." There is a true meaning in this, and I have forgotten to distinguish it. ”
Zhao Luojia was confused, but the beating handwriting became clearer and clearer.
Each word is like a person's figure, up and down, like a continuous dance. After Zhao Luojia recorded these ups and downs one by one, the trance sound was gone, and the light emitted by them also dispersed. And the four stone pillars broke in response to the sound and fell.
And the altar where Zhao Luojia was sitting cross-legged also turned into powder.
However, at this time, Zhao Luojia was sitting in the air, feeling lighter than before.
She floated down, her jade feet lightly landed on the stone platform, and then she landed on her knees and kowtowed respectfully to the altar that had turned into powder. Princess Daxian didn't have many opportunities to kowtow, but this time she was willing.
At this time, she already understood that this was an opportunity left by her predecessors to her descendants, and she just happened to let herself meet.
Kowtowing these three heads is to thank the predecessors for the grace of the descendants.
Zhao Luojia turned around and flew down towards the outside of the stone platform, looking at Duanmu Xu, who was already sitting and waiting below.
Duanmu Xu heard the movement of the volley, opened his eyes, and found that his sister seemed to be lighter than before.
"Are you alright?"
"It's fine. The above is some cultivation experience left by a senior, which happens to be in the Ling Void Realm, so it has been delayed a bit. Zhao Luojia naturally has nothing to hide.
"It's good that there's no danger. Then let's keep going. "Duanmu Xu has nothing to worry about about the matter of chance, and he is really happy for his sudden sister.
The river is extremely wide, and it is flowing in one direction without hurry.
One limbo strides, the other moves from reef to reef, one after the other along the dark river.
The land through which the dark river flows is both extremely empty and extremely narrow. What's more, there are those that leave only the dark river to pass through, and there are no other gaps.
As a last resort, the two could only dive into the water and go with the waves.
When they came to the open again, the two men came out of the water. The two of them were wet, and Rao didn't need to eat or drink daily since they stepped into the practice, but at this time, both of them felt hungry.
Picked up two drier places by the dark river and sat down separately. Then the two of them urged the aura and dried the clothes on their bodies.
The next step is to get something to eat. In this isolated place, if you want to find food, you can only look at what is in the dark river.
Whirlpools suddenly appeared in the dark river, but they were bigger and more numerous than those in the pond in the Fenglai Pavilion that day.
When the waves splash, fish come.
One by one, the fish that broke through the water drew a white line in the air and fell into Duanmu Xu's hands. The fish in this dark river are different from other places, and their bodies are snow-white.
Zhao Luojia on the side watched it with relish, not because of Duanmu Xu's volley fishing technique, but because of the catch itself. She has lived in the palace for a long time, how can she have this kind of fun.
"There's nothing else to satisfy your hunger here, just try these few fish. Duanmu Xu explained.
"I haven't eaten like this yet. Zhao Luojia thought it was novel and fun.
"Maybe it doesn't taste that good. ”
"It doesn't matter. ”
As he spoke, Duanmu Xu wiped his hand on the fish, and the scales fell off one after another. Then use your fingers as a knife to clean the fish inside and out.
To cook the fish, ordinary people may boil it, fry it, steam it, braise it, and grill it. However, for Duanmu Xu, they don't have much to choose from.
"Do you want raw or cooked?" Duanmu Xu asked.
Zhao Luojia had no experience in this area, so he could only answer, "It's all right." ”
"Then some raw, some cooked, and see what you like to eat. ”
As he spoke, Duanmu Xu turned the fish into pieces with his fingers and handed it over, "This is raw." ”
Zhao Luojia took it and tasted it in his mouth, it was very light, very fresh, and very fishy. But luckily, she chewed it little by little.
Duanmu Xu's hand was busy, and he handed it over after a while, "This is cooked." "In this situation, ordinary people naturally can't get cooked food, but Duanmu Xu is not among them. Just like drying a soaked garment, the fish can be cooked in the slightest place.
Zhao Luojia took the baked fish and tasted it again, it was very light, but there was no fishy smell. She also ate little by little.
Most of what she felt in the palace was to fall into each other, but a few fish at this time made her feel extremely warm.
It's nice to have an older brother.
After a short rest, the two began to move down the dark river again.
They didn't know how long the river was, and they weren't even sure if it would lead to the outside, but for now they had only one way.
If the previous trip to the Dark River was relatively smooth, then at this time they encountered a crisis.
Duanmu Xu and Zhao Luojia both stopped and watched vigilantly at the front of the dark river.
It was all the way forward, Duanmu Xu suddenly shouted, "Stop." The two of them stopped moving forward.
When moving forward, Duanmu Xu naturally urged the Ming Micro Realm and perceived the things around him. But when the aura moved forward, not only did the dark river collapse, but there was also something unknown in the water vapor.
Since it is not clear, we can only wait and see.
"I'll go check it out first. Duanmu Xu instructed Zhao Luojia beside him.
"Be careful. Bring the cold pearl. Zhao Luojia admonished, and handed Han Mingzhu over.
Duanmu Xu's figure moved between the reefs, gradually disappearing with the light of the cold pearl. And Zhao Luojia completely fell into the darkness.
Duanmu Xu came not far from the collapse, and his previous perception was indeed correct. There was something uncomfortable in the water vapor.
He urged the aura, captured a trace of water vapor and came to his side, smelling it slightly, the spicy and pungent smell could even make people a little dizzy.
These things seem to have slowly escaped from the collapse and merged into the water vapor. If you want to get through here, it seems that you have to dispose of the contents of the moisture, and maybe you can shield it.
Maybe he urged the secret method of the Golden Pan Realm and could get through it safely, but what about Luojia?
Duanmu Xu turned around and went back, and when he saw the sister who was waiting for him in the dark, his heart moved slightly, she was still the person he wanted to protect.
Duanmu Xu told Zhao Luojia about his discovery, and the two began to think about countermeasures. It is impossible to move forward rashly, and it should be no problem to pass through the collapsed place, but it is quite difficult to protect yourself from those toxic gases.
Breath-holding and stealth may be the solution, but it can't last long. Because Duanmu Xu didn't know how far the poisonous water vapor stretched, once he had to go ashore halfway, he couldn't advance or retreat.
"In that Water Moon Lake, how did you resist those turbidity. Duanmu Xu asked. Earlier, Zhao Luojia mentioned that he was deceived by the people of the Zhengyang Sect and trapped in the Water Moon Lake, so he thought that maybe there was something he could do.
Zhao Luojia is also a smart person, "It was the two-heart recipe taught by the national teacher, but it seemed to use your aura at that time." ”
"Well, let's try it first. ”
Duanmu Xu urged the aura, and Zhao Luojia used the two-heart trick, which was really a tacit understanding.
However, Duanmu Xu found a problem, according to this method, it should protect Zhao Luojia's spiritual sea, but it can't prevent those poisonous water vapors.
Zhao Luojia asked, "How?" She didn't feel the poisonous water vapor in front of the dark river, but when she saw Duanmu Xu thinking again, she felt that these two tips alone might not be enough.
To protect the spiritual sea, but also to protect the body, Duanmu Xu was really thinking.
At the bottom of this mountain, the only way out was filled with poisonous water vapor, but it had to go out from here.
"Perhaps, it could still be like this. Duanmu Xu said with a smile.
