Chapter 5: The Encounter in Shushan (5)

Legend has it that at the beginning of the establishment of Shushan, there was no lock demon tower, because there are also stronger demons in this world, and they cannot be destroyed, and the immortals will pull a fairy mountain down to the mortal world in order to help Shu Mountain subdue demons and subdue demons, and the fairy mountain is full of aura and suspended in the air, so the iron chain built by the dark iron will connect this fairy mountain with Shu Mountain. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info There is a Taiji Bagua Array in the mountain, the tower is built in this formation, there is a seal imposed by the immortals outside the tower, there are organs and magic arrays inside, and the ancient artifact Xuanyuan Sword is used as the thing of the town tower. Since then, Shushan has had this famous lock demon tower of the Three Realms. For thousands of years, I don't know how many demonic things have been locked up in the Lock Demon Tower. It is said that the Demon Venerable in the troubled times was also in the tower.

Although as a disciple of Shushan, he should feel quite proud that his sect has such a powerful thing. But because it's a forbidden place, Fengli hasn't even entered the back mountain, let alone seen any lock demon tower. It's like a legend to her, and it doesn't feel much of a thing. Behind the main hall of the precept grid is the stone steps leading to the back mountain, and the wind glass raises its eyes and looks up, and the stone platform of the first step leads straight to the sky and hides in the sea of clouds.

She was stunned as she looked at the ladder in front of her. How long does she have to climb so high, no wonder the senior brother prepared a burden for her when she came. She also wondered why the senior brother had to bring luggage. Of course close to them! They ride the wind with their swords, and it doesn't take minutes to go up, but she uses her legs! In addition, although the stone steps are carved into the mountain wall, there are no cliffs on either side, but if you look down from above, they are also very high. Don't look back for a while, she said to herself as she cried in her heart.

At this time, Elder Suochen and Bai Yinggu had returned, and Bai Qi stood at the door, clasped his fists and saluted, "Master, big brother." What is the important matter today, I want the master to talk about it out of line. "Don't say that Fengli's little girl, even he thinks it's strange.

Suo Yang pondered his beard and said, "Well, it's a bit tricky. With that, he stopped making a noise and walked straight into the grid. Bai Ji looked at Bai Ying in confusion, and Bai Ying said: "You and I both know the battle between gods and demons back then. The demon was created but not removed, but was put into the Haotian Tower with divine power, which had been guarded by Ciming Sect for the first few hundred years, and was pressed in the tower when the Demon Tower was built. ”

"That's right. Could it be that there is an anomaly in the tower? But I didn't feel it. "The three of them have senses with the enchantment outside the tower, no matter if there is any movement inside the tower and outside the tower, they will definitely be perceived.

"We all think that as long as the Demon Venerable is still in the tower for a day, the world will be peaceful for a day. But I don't want to get the news today, the Demon Protector found the Demon Venerable's widow more than a hundred years ago, and they acted low-key and interfered with our hearing and hearing with internal strife. I didn't realize it all along, but now the child is grown up and stronger than his father. I'm afraid I'm about to regain the demon clan soon. Bai Ying shook his head after speaking, it came too suddenly, if this child is as ambitious as his father, he is afraid that another catastrophe is coming.

The three masters and apprentices were silent, each with their own thoughts.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, a figure was dragged on the stone wall, slowly moving upward. "Ginseng has a sweet taste, replenishes vitality, quenches thirst, and whirring...... Nourish the spleen and stomach. Astragalus is warm, solid and guarding, and ...... "Feng Li gasped while muttering about the medicinal properties of various herbs in the medicine book. Although she had memorized it eight hundred years ago, she really couldn't think of anything to distract her at this time.

Just when she was halfway up the climb, she suddenly noticed a problem. She can not look down when she comes up, but what should she do when she goes down, she can't come down with her eyes closed. Thinking of this, she really wanted to cry without tears, and she knew that she should have begged her brother again to punish her for something else, but now she can only go up first.

When Fengli finally climbed to the end of the stone steps, she saw the legendary immortal mountain with haunting aura, which loomed behind the sea of clouds and mist, the distance between the two mountains was about 100 feet, and below was the abyss. There are countless chains crisscrossed between the mountains, and the only way to the back mountain is a dangling chain bridge, the wooden planks on the bridge look old, and there is a huge stone tablet standing next to the bridge with the words "Crossing the Mountain Bridge".

She remembered what Bai Qi said to her: "The Nine Dead Soul Grass is not far after crossing the bridge, and it is windy at night on the mountain, so don't be greedy to smear the bridge." If you are disobedient, don't blame Senior Brother for not telling you in advance. ”

Are you kidding!! Fengli's heart was literally roaring. This bridge is completely different from what she thought! She had expected it to be a sturdy stone bridge, or at least not that long! If she had known that she was facing such a bridge, she would not have come. But if she goes back now, the way down will be dangerous for her and although she didn't cross the bridge, it .......... She looked across the bridge, and the Nine Dead Resurrection Grass was within easy reach. If she went back like this, she wouldn't have the courage to come up again. What to do, Fengli is extremely entangled. If this matter had been placed before she was 10 years old, she would have chosen to cross the bridge without hesitation. It's just that after that incident, the pain of falling to the ground is like going deep into the bone marrow, and she can't forget it.

After hesitating, Fengli still decided to rest first, but now he can't live, and he doesn't want to go back in vain, no matter how much he wants, it's in vain. She hadn't eaten since she had come to the Precept Pavilion after lunch, and she had been hungry all afternoon. So I found a place where I could shelter from the wind and sat down, and opened the burden given by my senior brother. In addition to dry food and water, there is also an extra windproof pill to protect against the cold, she wrinkled her nose and said in her heart: Hmph, after all, Uncle Mu didn't entrust me to you in vain.

I didn't sleep all night, and the next day the sky was just slightly bright, and the wind and glass got up. She wandered and wandered by the rope bridge, until she finally made up her mind to pass. And give yourself three reasons why you have to pass. This first, if she goes back like this, how can Bai Qi hurt her and not mention it, if Su Mu's old man knows about it, he will look down on her even more, she doesn't care, but it will inevitably affect Uncle Mu. Second, she has been thinking about the Nine Dead Soul Grass for a long time, and now she can't give up easily in front of her. Third, and most importantly. She had to find a way to overcome her fear of heights, it was a long time since she was there, and she didn't want it to affect her for the rest of her life.

She took a breath, reached for the edge of the rope bridge, and moved her feet up the bridge little by little. Tell yourself as you walk not to look down, not to think about its height, it's not so scary. When she was standing on the bridge, the bridge shook slightly as she moved, the planks under her feet creaked, and the sound of her heartbeat was like a spell.

When Fengli felt that the road was endless, she saw the few herbs she had been thinking about swaying in the wind not far from the bridge on the other side, and she quickened her pace with joy.

A crisp sound sounded, and the planks under his feet broke apart and fell into the sea of clouds one by one. What ensues is a familiar sense of falling. When this feeling struck again, Fengli calmed down, it seemed that it was fate, she was going to fall to death sooner or later in her life, and she was even spared the struggle. Fengli silently said goodbye to Aunt Fan and Uncle Mu in her heart, and scolded Su Mu and Bai Qi fiercely. She closed her eyes, the wind whistling in her ears, and waited silently for death. The face of a grim man appeared in front of him. I haven't seen him again in the past six years, this life-saving benefactor, but unfortunately she has no chance to repay the favor.

After an unknown time, Fengli felt that he was suddenly dragged by a force, slowing down the speed of his fall. Slowly opened his eyes and met the deep black eyes in his memory. He was still the same as she remembered, still wearing the same crimson brocade robe. She stared blankly, and when she came back to her senses, she found herself in his arms with one hand, and they were levitating in midair. The tense heartstrings snapped, and she grabbed the man's shirt and cried out in a flash.

"You can come back in time this time, if you are still saved last time, you can only collect my body this time." She said as she cried. She didn't know what his name was or who he was, but he always showed up when her life was at stake. She owes him a lot of money, and I'm afraid she can't pay it back.

He didn't speak, just carried her and flew up. Fengli is now more and more afraid of heights, and the hand that grabbed his shirt refuses to let go. His voice sobbed and he continued, "Six years ago, why didn't you wait until I woke up before leaving?" I don't know where you've been all these years. I asked Aunt Fan to ask everywhere but couldn't find you. Why are you suddenly here now? And... Can you fly? “

She thought he would remain as silent as before, but he said, "Let go." "Loose . . . Pine.. Let go? Didn't he come to save her? Why did you want her to let go? Fengli looked at him with big eyes, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes uncontrollably, but he refused to let go. The man felt that she not only didn't let go, but grabbed it tighter and tighter, looked down at Feng Li, who looked aggrieved and stubborn, and explained, "You caught my hair." Feng Li realized that his long hair that was casually draped and closed to the placket was held in her hands. It turned out that it hurt him, and she let out an embarrassed sigh, gently brushed his hair away, and then grabbed him again.

After a few moments, they returned to the bridge, and as soon as Fengli's feet touched the ground, her legs went limp, and she sat on the ground. Seeing that she was fine, the man turned around and wanted to leave. Feng Li grabbed the hem of his clothes, "You're leaving again?" He turned around and frowned, looking at the little hand that had grabbed him, silent. She didn't know how to keep him, and she didn't know how to get him to answer her questions, so she was in a hurry, and suddenly heard the voice of Senior Brother Bai Qi behind her. She had an idea: "You're not a disciple of Shushan, are you?" This is the forbidden land of Shushan, if you are caught, you will be punished, you answer my two questions and I will let you go. ”

Seeing that he was still silent, and the voice of Senior Brother Bai Qi behind him was getting closer and closer, Feng Li said in his heart, it's over, this threat doesn't seem to work. But she can't really let him be caught. When he was hesitating whether to let go, he said, "Say." Fengli chose the two most wanted to know among the hundreds of questions in her mind and asked, "Your name and how can I find you?" "My name is ambushed, you don't have to look for me, you will save you in case of danger" He obviously didn't want to say much about the second question. Fengli, who got the answer, immediately let go of his hand and said to him, "Okay." Then you go quickly. My brother is coming soon. Although the answer was not very satisfactory, he was already thankful that he could answer.
