Chapter 13: Bloodthirsty Bees
There was a large hall next to the entrance to the ladder, and Wakaba led them inside.
Inside, an old man with crane hair and a childish face sat there drinking tea, and there was a tea boy making tea next to him.
Wakaba walked over and saluted respectfully to the old man: "Elder Hongtong." ”
"Wakaba, are you here to walk the ladder?" Elder Hongtong directly ignored the three people who were following Wakaba.
"Yes, Elder Hongtong, I will bring the three new disciples over to walk the ladder." Wakaba continued to answer respectfully.
"Oh? It turned out that the new disciples walked the ladder, or three. It hasn't been seen in years. Bring the sign. ”
The three of them stepped forward in turn and handed the sign out.
"Well, that's good."
"Good."
"Oh? It's amazing. ”
Elder Hong Tong handed the sign to the three of them again, "The quality of this year's new disciples is really good. In previous years, this year was particularly good. ”
"Yes." Wakaba still spoke respectfully.
Elder Hong Tong put down the teacup in his hand and got up: "Come with me." ”
Following Elder Hong Tong outside, he walked through a door and saw a huge stone standing in front of him, covering the entrance to the ladder. Elder Hong Tong walked to the first boulder, pointed to a long groove on it, and said, "Come one by one, put your signs here, and you can enter." ”
Gongsun Nan, who was the first to walk behind Wakaba, heard the words and walked over. Follow Elder Hongtong's instructions to place the sign in the groove. The green light in the groove shone brightly, and the jade plaque also lit up.
Suddenly, the boulders behind them moved, slowly sliding on the ground, and it took half a pillar of incense to stop. A passage that can accommodate one person is revealed in the middle.
"Alright, take your sign. Remember, no temptation may be left to the right path. Elder Hong Tong kindly reminded him.
Gongsun Nan took his sign, turned around and saluted a few people, and then walked towards the passage. After he walked by, the boulder slowly changed its position, except for the one with the groove, which did not move, and the other boulders were not in the same position they had seen when they first came.
Hidden Feather secretly guessed that this should be a formation.
Sure enough, Wakaba opened his mouth and explained: "This is Stonehenge, and everyone who wants to pass must have the qualification to pass through Stonehenge before Stonehenge will open." If it is a hard break, Stonehenge is a large array that can be used to fall immortals, and it will teach trespassers a profound lesson. ”
"Every year, there are people who don't follow the rules and want to break in, and no one has seen them since."
While listening, Lu Qian stepped forward and put his sign into the groove, and Stonehenge slowly opened Lu Qian and entered.
After Lu Qian entered, Yin Yu also stepped forward and pressed the sign on the groove, and the brand was attached to the groove and shone with green light. Stonehenge opened up again, and Hidden Feather stepped firmly into it.
The boulder slowly ran behind her, obscuring the passage. Hidden Feather walked to a platform inside without any hesitation or pause. That's where the ladder begins!
The platform is in the center of the entire Stonehenge and is protected by Stonehenge on all sides. Hidden Feather believed that even the sky, which seemed to be nothing, must be heavily prohibited.
Looking at the crystal clear staircase in front of him like a work of art, it was hard to imagine that it had attracted so many cultivators. I don't know what kind of challenges there will be on this ladder. Hidden Feather would not be naïve to think that the ladder was really as simple and beautiful as it appeared.
Either way, I'll walk through!
Taking a deep breath, Yin Yu, who had not yet formally cultivated, raised his feet and stepped on the first step of the ladder. By the time Hidden Feather stood on the ladder with both feet, everything would be different.
The stairs beneath his feet turned stone, and the surrounding scene did not look like the previous moment. The scene here is changing, as if Hidden Feather is standing just a stone staircase on an ordinary mountain.
No matter how difficult the path was, Hidden Feather didn't plan to back down, because she had no way out!
I still remember when I was a child, Yin Yu traveled to the mainland with my mother, went to many places, and met many people. She understands that only strong people are qualified to have a life. to be eligible to choose your own life. She was once too weak to save her favorite pet in vain, and in the end she could only watch it be killed and she could not do anything about it. is also because she is weak, she can't protect herself, and she can't help her mother. It is also because of weakness that he will be sealed for ten years to accumulate energy.
Her mother is very good, and she has always told her about the beauty of this world.
She wants to be strong, she wants to be reunited with her family, she wants to climb the supreme avenue. Only when she is strong can she be able to do a lot of things.
Now she has a chance to get a lot of resources to get stronger quickly. She had to do her best!
Hidden Feather resolutely raised her feet and walked up, not feeling any obstacles. The higher you go, the more beautiful the mountain scenery becomes. At the beginning of the road, there are only the most ordinary mountains, rocks, plants and trees, and the further back you go, the more you can see the distant mountains, lakes, waterfalls, mountain streams, and streams, merging beautiful trees, fairy flowers, and sometimes smart little beasts flickering ahead. Yin Yu is not lonely when he walks alone, and even has a taste of enjoying it.
But no matter how beautiful the scenery was, she never stopped to look at it, nor did she deviate from the stone staircase beneath her feet. As Hidden Feather walked up, the surrounding scenery began to change.
The vegetation slowly disappeared and only the rocks remained, and then the rocks disappeared into a desert scene, and the temperature around them began to rise, and the sun above suddenly became more powerful. Sand began to appear on the rocky path beneath his feet, and the further back he went, the more sand there became, and finally the stone path was completely covered. With every step he took, he had to check if there was a stone mountain path under the sand under his feet. Hidden Feather walked hard in this desert, and after a while, he was sweating like rain, and his physical strength was consumed quickly.
Hidden Feather walked for a while, and the sweat that flowed was quickly evaporated and dried. Hidden Feather felt a little hungry. She hadn't felt hungry for a long time, and she had been eating Bigu Dan, each of which could provide an ordinary person's normal consumption for a month. Hidden Feather wanted to open the packet and take out one to swallow, but:
The small package can't be opened!
It seems that there is a prohibition in this ladder that prevents the secondary space from opening. There was no way, Yin Yu had to rely on his physical strength to move forward. She's not hungry, and she's still able to endure it.
Walking, walking, walking, Yin Yu didn't know how long she had been walking, she felt that it should have been several hours. After exerting a lot of physical strength and sweating a lot, Yin Yu felt hungry and thirsty. It's okay to be hungry, you can bear it, but it's a little hard to be thirsty, and the body is extremely hot as if the whole person has become a furnace, whirring and steaming outward, and it will soon burn.
But Yin Yu didn't stop, didn't deviate from the right path to find food and drink, she kept insisting on moving forward. The abilities that her early travels had given her finally came in handy: she was more able to walk. But the ladder obviously didn't intend to let Hidden Feather go like this, and the worse finally happened, and the stone path was gone! Instead of a road paved with sand, the sand on the road is more solid than the sand of the desert next to it, and you will be dazzled if you are not careful.
Just kept walking, and slowly Hidden Feather felt that his legs were weak as if they were floating. According to the time they came in today, it should have been dark after so long, but the sun in the sky was tirelessly spewing out its fury, as if it would not stop until the earth was set on fire.
Yin Yu didn't dare to stop and rest, she was already very tired, but it was so hot in this desert that she was afraid that it would be more difficult to get on the road if she stopped, and resting under the scorching sun was also an exertion. The body's energy is limited, and it is necessary to use the limited energy for more meaningful things.
Hidden Feather just walked, and time seemed to stop. If it weren't for the fact that the sand road under his feet was still a little different from the sand next to him, Yin Yu would have thought that he had accidentally walked into the real desert. Her lips were dry and cracked due to the lack of water for a long time. She had gone black under her eyes because she hadn't rested for a long time. The whole person has lost a lot of weight.
Finally, after walking for two days and three nights according to normal time, Hidden Feather's stumbling footsteps finally stumbled.
"Whew, whew......" Hidden Feather lay on the ground panting. She tried to stand up, but her legs were too limp. She was so tired that she felt weak after walking for a day and a night without eating. But she still remembers her goal, and the road behind is all about perseverance. Especially in the end, it is already a mechanical way to identify the road under the feet, and the mechanical lifting of the foot forward, but I feel a little easier.
But that's just a self-deception of the body. Once you stop, you can't get up again. Yin Yu decided to sit like this and rest for a while, his legs could not stand up now, and his body needed to rest.
Yin Yu was lying on the yellow sand road like this, and suddenly Yin Yu felt something, raised his head and didn't move, as if he was feeling something. Just now she seemed to feel a small breeze blowing. She felt right, the wind was indeed rising.
But is the ladder so easy to walk? Will there be a breeze to cool you when you are tired? Apparently Hidden Feather was not so naïve. The wind slowly became stronger, blowing more and more violently, rolling straight up the yellow sand towards the hidden feather. Slowly, the overwhelming wind swept the yellow sand. Hidden Feather encounters the most common disaster in the desert - sandstorms!
She thought back to what other people had seen before do in this situation, while taking off the outermost layer of clothes, wearing only the middle coat, covering her head, curled up on the yellow sand road, resting while waiting for the sandstorm to pass.
Hidden Feather curled up like this, and fell asleep unconsciously. I don't know how long it took, but Hidden Feather was finally awakened by the heat. The sandstorm has passed, but the sun is still high. Hidden Feather woke up with a sweat on his face. Hidden Feather sat up with her clothes on her head, and she planned to just use her clothes to cover the sun a little bit, and feel a little cooler.
Having just rested, Hidden Feather is now in a better spirit. She couldn't help but be a little grateful that the sandstorm just now had given her a little cool rest. After resting, the body regained a little strength. Hidden Feather immediately stood up and planned to move on, but as soon as she stood up, she found that the road was gone!
It must have been the sandstorm just now, which swept up the sand and covered the poor yellow sand path. Hidden Feather's tanned little face had a serious expression. She shaved through the sand with her hands and finally found her way.
