Chapter Twenty-Eight: Where Does It Come From?
Li Jiawen and Xiaocao hurried overnight, passing through several cities without entering, they did this just to cover up their whereabouts, now they can be careful for a point, and they must not leave anything to chance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the second day, the sun was shining and the spring breeze was blowing, so the two of them took a nap under a cliff and slept at night, which was the safest way.
After sleeping for about six hours, Li Jiawen woke up at noon, he woke up Xiaocao, and the two of them ate some dry food and water and continued on their way.
It's just that in the afternoon, they found that they were lost, although Xiaocao knew where Shu Mountain was, but they had been walking through the mountains and forests, so they were accidentally lost.
"There's no way, we can only go to someone and ask for directions, but once we ask for directions, our whereabouts will be exposed, and there may be trouble." Li Jiawen was extremely helpless.
The so-called careful sailing of the Ten Thousand Year Ship, especially when they are facing the behemoth of the Fire God Temple, if the East Window incident happens, no one knows if they will take advantage of the problem to summon one or two earth immortals to rush over, and then they will really regret it.
Xiaocao said: "I'll ask when I ask for directions, just don't show up." ”
Li Jiawen nodded, he was in a hurry all the way, so the two didn't say much to each other, and now that they were lost, Li Jiawen could instead ask Xiaocao about Shushan: "Your grandfather used to be the alchemist of Sanqing Palace, then he must have been to Shushan, did he tell you what Shushan is like?" ”
Referring to Lao Zhangtou, Xiaocao's expression was depressed, but she had lived in this world of bad competition since she was a child, and she saw Sanqing Palace destroyed with her own eyes, so she immediately cheered up: "In Shu Mountain, there is a sword mountain ten thousand feet high, this sword mountain is connected to the ground, the main palace of Shu Mountain Wanjian Palace is located on the sword mountain, and around the sword mountain, there are three floating mountains, I heard that when Shu Mountain was at its peak, there were a hundred floating mountains, and each floating mountain was guarded by a sword, but now there are only three floating mountains left, because many swords have been taken away, After the sword was taken, Fushan lost his spirituality and fell to the earth. ”
"The three floating mountains are Tai'a, Mo Xie and Chengying, and the names of these three mountains are the names of the three swords, I think you must have heard of the three swords, they are world-famous divine weapons."
Although Li Jiawen was born on the earth in the age of science and technology, he still heard the names of these three swords, and couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that what is written in the book is all traceable, not fabricated out of thin air. ”
"Of course, the immortal cultivation civilization on our earth has a history of millions of years, and in millions of years, how many exciting stories have been handed down, and what we know now is only the tip of the iceberg."
"You said that those swords were taken by someone, but they shouldn't have been taken by our own people, right?"
Xiaocao sighed: "Some of them were taken by our own people, because we had to fight against a strong enemy, but most of them were taken away by force or threat, when the Sanqing Palace was invaded by the Fire God Temple, someone in Shushan went to rescue the monks of the Sanqing Palace who were in distress, and then the Fire God Temple took away a sword for this reason, and the name of the sword was called Twins." ”
"It's really a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, thinking that back then, Shushan flew swords, and all swords returned to the sect, and now, there are ten thousand swords in the air, but they can only let the rain and wind blow and gradually mottle, and the heart of the sword fairy is cold."
Li Jiawen listened to Xiaocao's words silently, and he was also very emotional in his heart.
"Now the head of Shushan is He Zizai, who is free from the sword, and there is only one disciple without intention, and in addition to He Zizai, there are only five elders left in Shushan, and these elders' disciples are withering, and now the entire Shushan has removed some miscellaneous outer disciples, plus there are only twenty-one inner disciples, which is not as good as a branch of the Fire God Temple."
Xiaocao continued: "It is said that He Zi entered the Mahayana when he was more than three hundred years old, and then for a full four hundred years, because the earth monks would be killed by the immortals of the Divine Palace, so He Zizai has been suppressing the cultivation in his body, and now I heard that he is a little unable to suppress it, and I don't know if Shu Mountain is still Shu Mountain after He Zi Zai's tribulation failed." ”
Li Jiawen said: "Let's take one step at a time, we can persist for two thousand years and still exist, there must be our own destiny, the so-called car to the mountain must have a road, the boat to the bridge is naturally straight, if He Zhangmen can't hold on, isn't there still us?" ”
Xiaocao nodded, and then looked at Li Jiawen strangely: "You are quite confident." ”
Li Jiawen smiled: "It's not that I have self-confidence, I just have to be confident, there was a time when I was very unconfident, and then it made a big mistake, now I have to work hard, only in this way can I have the opportunity to make up for my mistakes." ”
Xiaocao didn't ask Li Jiawen what he had done wrong, but said, "By the way, I haven't asked you where you studied here." ”
Li Jiawen was stunned, he studied under Zhang Dao, and Zhang Dao was the elder of the Sanqing Palace, but this elder could not protect his sect and the villages and towns under the jurisdiction of the sect, he could only endure it again and again for the sake of righteousness, carrying humiliation and sorrow, waiting for the opportunity he wanted.
He didn't want to say Zhang Dao's name, and Zhang Dao probably didn't want him to say it.
"I studied under a loose man, and he just passed on my swordsmanship and disappeared, so I am also ready to find a sect to rely on, so that I can calm down and cultivate."
"Then you stay in Shushan with me!"
"I also have this intention, but I take an art apprentice, I don't know if it will be inappropriate?"
Xiaocao shook his head and said: "Now is not the past, we must unite to abandon the view of the portal, how can Shushan take in the people of our Sanqing Palace, how can it be possible to turn you away." ”
Li Jiawen put his mind at ease, the two walked in the mountains for more than an hour, but they still didn't go out, seeing that it was getting late, Xiaocao suddenly realized something: "Oh no, we shouldn't be lost, but trapped in the mountain guard!" ”
"Guarding the mountain?"
"That's right, our Yanhuang Dynasty still has a lot of small sects in decline, maybe they only have two or three people guarding the mountain gate now, but their mountain guard array has always been there, if we are really trapped in the mountain guard array and no one finds out, then we may starve to death here!"
"Is it that serious?"
Xiaocao's face was full of anxiety: "Of course, you must know that these declining sects were likely to be the overlords of the Shock Party in the past, and their mountain guarding array is no joke, even the monks of the Jindan period may not be able to escape, let alone us!" ”
"Maybe we're overthinking, let's go further, maybe we'll be able to get out." Li Jiawen comforted.
"We can only keep going, and hope that our luck is not so bad."
The two continued to walk, this time, but they walked all night, but they still did not get out of the mountains and forests.
"I feel like we're going around back, that lake, it's supposed to be the lake we bypassed before, there's no doubt about it, we're really trapped." Xiaocao sat on the ground with a dejected face.
Li Jiawen went to the lake to pick up some water, there is plenty of water here, but the strange thing is that there are no animals, I think it is really like what Xiaocao said, they are trapped in the mountain guarding array.
Xiaocao picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the lake, watching the stone slowly sink into the water, she complained: "The sect protected by these mountain guarding arrays is likely to have long been abandoned, and the current small sects can't accept apprentices at all, even if there are one or two lone seedlings left, they don't understand anything, because there is no master to teach, so they don't know how to lift the mountain guarding array, resulting in many hunters who strayed into it to be trapped and die inside." ”
"If this was in the past, if someone accidentally broke into the mountain guarding array, it would be like digging a spiritual mine, because the defenders would send them away, and they would also give some pills as a hush money, so as not to let mortals always come to disturb their cultivation, but now they are scared and screaming as soon as they enter the formation, afraid of dying inside, it is really a time that changes and is impermanent."
Li Jiawen saw that Xiaocao was depressed, and hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, we are all tired, take a rest first, maybe we can go out after waking up." ”
"I hope so."
The two slept for a while, but when they woke up, they found that they were still in the same place, there was no way, the two had to continue to move forward, and then went back and forth like this, and before they knew it, they were trapped for three days and three nights!
"We don't have much dry food, what are we going to do when we finish eating, do we eat tree bark?" Xiaocao broke all the weeds around her and vented her irritability: "There are no fish in the water, no rabbits in the grass, no birds in the sky, no insects in the ground, we can't live." ”
Li Jiawen also realized that the situation was very bad, and he climbed to the top of a pine tree, but there was no way out as far as he could see.
"I have no choice but to give it a try." After Li Jiawen came down from the tree, he sat cross-legged on the ground, and then relaxed, and relaxed, and relaxed until the whole world was quiet.
"Please, let me hear it, let me hear it!" Although Li Jiawen kept telling himself to relax, his heart was restless.
It's quiet, but it's not that quiet, because there are two living creatures here, Xiaocao and him, so except for the sound they make, the world is absolutely quiet.
"Calm down, don't force it, just go with the flow." Li Jiawen said silently in his heart.
But he couldn't hear it, and even Li Jiawen himself didn't know what he wanted to hear.
Li Jiawen stood up anxiously, and then he looked at the pine tree he had climbed, and suddenly felt something, so he climbed to the top of the tree again, about seven meters high.
He stood on the fragile branches, then spread his arms.
"What are you going to do!" Xiaocao shouted in shock.
The branch snapped and Li Jiawen fell from the tree.
The words of the male protagonist Pete in "Heros" sounded in his mind again.
"Where does it come from, this desire, this need, to uncover the mysteries of life but there is no answer, why we are here, what our soul is, why we dream, it may be better to be indifferent, but this is not human nature, nor is it the heart of human beings, nor is it the purpose of our existence."
Listen attentively, a fairy?
Just trying to hear a way out.
With a bang, Li Jiawen fell heavily to the ground, and the broken bones in his wrist directly pierced the flesh and exposed to the air, hideous and terrifying!
