Linfen smiled: "Yes, it's been so long, hehe, do you think I've become an old monster?"

"Why, I see that my brother is about the same age as one of our doctors there, and he is ten years older than me. "Prunella was shocked.

Linfen nodded with a smile: "I see, I haven't looked in the mirror for a long time, this is the reward we get after doing our best, how many people cultivate immortals for immortality, but none of the real immortal cultivators go for this purpose, and they have achieved them at an age." ”

Xia Kucao actually smiled when she heard this: "What you said is very right, the emperors of Southern Chu have been dreaming of cultivating immortals, but none of them can really succeed, and they haven't even started." ”

Xia Kucao couldn't help but sigh at the ridiculous life of the first half of his life, the people of the entire Wu clan were kept in captivity in order to survive, just to refine some peerless elixir for the emperor who was cultivating immortals, but it was like this for generations, but he couldn't achieve one, as everyone knows, the path of cultivation is definitely not something that can be facilitated by external forces.

"Why do you sigh like this?" Lin Fen wondered.

Xia Kucao hurriedly shook his head: "No, I heard about the folk gossip by chance, but I just sighed that they should want to live a long life." ”

Linfen was a little lonely: "I've been in the mountains for too long, I've long forgotten what mortal looks like, I entered the mountains at a young age, fortunately, I have no father and no mother to care, otherwise it's a sadness for a black-haired person to send a white-haired person, what about you?"

"Me too!" said Summer Withered Grass smiled indifferently.

Linfen didn't expect that there would be people who would sympathize with him, and he felt sorry for himself.

The two of them walked for a long time, and the mountain road became steeper and steeper, and in some places it almost became a right-angle plane of 90 degrees, and their hearts trembled.

Fortunately, after walking through the plank road, there is finally a house on the top of the mountain, and the summer grass is shocked in his heart, and it is really ingenious to be able to build a plank road house on this steep mountain.

When the plank road crosses the cliff, it is only one person wide, hanging in the air, fortunately there are handrails on the cliff wall, the wind is whistling in the ears, and the summer grass is soft, fortunately only this time.

Finally standing on the top of the mountain, the sunset printed red half of the sky, so beautiful, from the top of the mountain down, the ravines are staggered, the rolling mountains, spectacular, here is really the place where the aura of heaven and earth is the most vigorous.

Xia Kucao looked at Linfen, who was panting slightly, and said, "Senior brother, this is the light sound platform?"

Linfen pointed to the sky and said: "It's still far away, this is the Great Chifeng, the disciples of the club are practicing here, and the Kaitai Hall below is set up to welcome foreign guests, and it is also the first barrier." ”

Xia Dry grass opened her mouth wide in shock, looking up at the sky, and there were only a few birds in the sky except for the blue sky, white clouds and sunset.

Xia Kucao muttered, "Senior brother, are you kidding, isn't this already the top of the mountain?

Linfen chuckled: "This may not be seen until you open your eyes of heaven." ”

After speaking, he handed over a black cloth strip and said, "Why don't you go with me blindfolded?"

Xia Kucao was a little flustered: "Senior brother, are you afraid that I will see some secrets that I can't see?" I promise that I won't talk nonsense, I can't see anything blindfolded, and I'm full of fear of the unknown." ”

"In that case, keep your eyes open, and promise not to back down, and tell me if you need this strip of cloth later. Linfen smiled helplessly.

Xia Kucao didn't understand what he meant, and her heart became inexplicably nervous.

Linfen sleeves waved, suddenly two pillars appeared in front of him, he stood in front of the two pillars and paused, Xia Kucao looked at the two pillars, it was very abrupt, the pillar carved with a lifelike unicorn, this unicorn was exactly the same as the golden unicorn she had seen that day, staring at it for a long time, I don't know if it was dazzled or an illusion, its eyes seemed to be rolling, and it also looked back at Xia Kucao.

Xia Kucao hurriedly looked away, the evil gate is just a statue, how can it move, isn't it alive?

Xia Kucao stepped forward and approached Linfen and said, "Senior brother, what are these two pillars for?"

"This is not a pillar, this is the door to the light sound platform. Linfen chuckled.

"Huh?" Xia Kucao couldn't believe her ears, she stepped forward and touched the pillar, this is obviously a pillar, how is it a door, even if it is a door, what is this door doing on this empty ground, is it difficult to enter another world after passing this door?

"Is it past this door to reach the light sound platform?" Xia Kucao was suddenly overjoyed and longing, it would be nice to be so simple, don't go up the steps again, her legs and feet are about to be wasted.

Linfen shook his head: "You can understand it this way, or you can't understand it like this, can't you see anything now?"

"Out of sight, it's empty land. "Prunella is very sure.

"Then you step through this door and try. Linfen gestured with his hand, and the summer grass was entangled, is it a light sound station behind the door?

But she didn't have a choice, she had to go to the light sound station, no matter what.

Prunella cheered herself up, nodded and mumbled, and passed through the middle of the pillar.

The white expanse, the summer withered grass was stunned on the spot, just saw the real land on the other side of the door, inexplicably reassuring, but how did he step a foot and arrive at this white and foggy world?

She didn't know what prunella grass she was stepping on, she couldn't see it, she couldn't even see it with her fingers outstretched out, it was like entering the dark night when she couldn't see her fingers, but it was daytime again.

She didn't dare to move, panicked in her heart, her eyes dodged, and she whispered tentatively to ask for help from the senior brother: "Senior brother, are you there?"

"I'm here. Linfen's voice relieved Xia Kucao, and her heaving chest told others how scared and helpless she was just now.

"Senior brother, where are you, why can't I see you?" Xia Kucao tentatively groped for two steps, and suddenly hit the protrusion in front of him, his feet hurt, and he subconsciously let out an "ah".

"Don't be afraid, you hit the steps, you can't see me, but I can see you, are you afraid, do you dare to walk up this step? I'll wait for you on two steps. Linfen's voice was not far from her.

Xia Kucao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, so nervous, her voice trembled: "Senior brother, are there only steps here?"

"Yes, didn't you just ask me if I walked through this door is a light sound platform, and I replied that you are and no, because you can only reach the light sound platform when you go up the steps, and this step is a full ten thousand steps, and you can't see it, but as long as you keep groping up, it's the light sound platform, how about it, do you want to consider blindfolding, I think this way you will be less nervous, and you can't see anything anyway. ”

Linfen guided carefully, he could feel the feeling of prunella, and the first time he came back to the light sound station, he was also at a loss.

Xia Kucao refused and shook her head: "I...... I'm afraid that I'll be even more scared if I'm blindfolded, senior brother, can I have a small request?"

"You say!"

"I, I want to borrow your strip of cloth for use, you hold one end, I hold one end, can you hold me, I know this request is excessive, but I ...... I'm not sure ...... the road underneath my feet."

Xia Kucao's lips trembled as she said this, and since she entered the Immaculate Mountain, there had not been a day of fear that she had not lived.

Linfen nodded, handed one to Xia Kucao and said, "It's okay, you take it, I'll hold you." ”

Xia Kucao cried with joy: "Senior brother, thank you!"

Every step of the prunella grass has to be tested with her toes, and she dares to change steps only when she steps steadily, although someone is holding her in her hands, she can't relax and let herself be careless, so every step is difficult.

Although Linfen felt that the task was difficult, but seeing Xia Kucao's serious and nervous appearance, he could only admit it, and the head wanted to train her, so he could only accompany her.

Shi Hanshui stood in front of the ice mirror, looking at the woman who followed the same steps, full of stubbornness, not begging for mercy, not crying, not giving up, walking steadily every step, and the appearance of calming down to do things was still very in line with his criteria for choosing an apprentice.

It's just that...... This woman must stay by his side, her identity is not yet clear, and it seems that she cannot teach her any of the exercises for the time being, and if you want to find out, it will take time to investigate carefully.

If it's different, it's good to make a decision in time, hopefully...... Don't have that day.

Prunella grass has been unable to distinguish the time, can not distinguish day and night, the sky here has been foggy, can not see the direction, can not see people, if Linfen does not speak, Prunella grass does not know where he is, only the cloth in his hand keeps moving, reminding her that there is someone in front of her to guide the way.

She was still counting the steps at first, and when she had reached the first step, she couldn't count them anymore, so she had to give up, but she was still happy, and solved at least a tenth, and nine more were successful.

Fortunately, she met Senior Brother Linfen today, otherwise she would not have been able to find this light sound platform, Xia Kucao remembered Shi Hanshui's back when he left, so resolute, and disappeared in an instant.

Such a treacherous road, he didn't give a word of hints, let her break on her own, and said that strict teachers make high apprentices, is this the case?

No matter how sore her legs and feet are, she can't stop when she sweats, she can't drag her brother down, it's not easy for him to hold her, Xia Kucao is very grateful in her heart, and she doesn't want to trouble others, but now she has to trouble others, she doesn't have the ability to do it alone.

The world is so big that there are no wonders, at that time, she was like a frog at the bottom of a well in the Wu clan, she had the heart to go out to see, and by chance she became a saint again, and as a result, she killed Aunt Bai, and Bichen didn't know what happened.

If she had been a shovel officer and not set foot in the antechamber, then maybe Lei would not have hit her, but someone else, and the result would have been different today.

Xia Kucao shook her head, she didn't know, she might be able to live a life in a muddy way, and it seemed that she would find the world wonderful when she took a step forward, it turned out that the world outside the Wu clan was so colorful and so sinister.

The mind is not on the road, but the road is much easier, and it is much faster, the fast Linfen was surprised, he asked in a low voice: "You are not afraid, you have overcome your fear?"

Xia Kucao heard his voice and suddenly came back to his senses and exclaimed, "I'm sorry, senior brother, I was distracted, did I go the wrong way?"
