Chapter 773: It's Hard to Go Up the Mountain
First of all, one thing can be determined, Baili Zhanxiong and they are definitely in this enchantment, but now they can't find anyone, they can only know a little, and the rest of the people have gone elsewhere, as for what place it is, it is self-evident.
Looking at the mountains in front of him, Zhang Yunfan walked forward, did not stop along the way, and went straight to the foot of the mountain, speeding for about ten minutes, and the speed slowly slowed down.
The slowdown was not due to his weakness, but to an invisible force pressing his body, making it difficult for him to move.
The closer he got to the foot of the mountain, the stronger the oppression became, so much so that Zhang Yunfan had to release the Force to protect his body against this oppression.
"I'll go, where did you get such a strong oppression, it's too exaggerated!" Zhang Yunfan was depressed in his heart, but he didn't want to return, so his previous efforts would be wasted.
This place is not far from the foot of the mountain, and according to his estimate, Baili Zhanxiong and his party should have gone up the mountain, so they couldn't find them.
But at the same time, what made Zhang Yunfan deeply depressed was that the pressure here was so great, how did they withstand the pressure and pass through......
After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation, but he firmly believed that Baili Zhanxiong and the others would not disappear for no reason, and they must have gone up the mountain.
But now the situation is so difficult, going up the mountain has almost become a more difficult thing than climbing, according to his current cultivation, it will take a lot of effort to reach the top.
In order to be able to climb to the top of the mountain to take a look and confirm the previous guess, Zhang Yunfan came up with a way that was not a way and took out the Guiyuan Pill in the storage ring.
Before leaving Canglu Academy, he refined a large number of Guiyuan Pills, one to make money, and the other to improve his cultivation.
Because of the physique, it is ordinary but it is ineffective for him, and only the Guiyuan Pill is just right, so he has a lot of reserves, and there are still more than a dozen bottles after removing the consumption along the way.
Due to the lack of realm, Zhang Yunfan's refined Yuan Qi can only be stored in the Yuan Aperture, and the Yuan Qi is usually closed, just to prevent the Yuan Qi from leaking.
And now that this situation has happened, Zhang Yunfan has an idea, if the idea comes true, then the disadvantages of the loss of vitality will no longer be so useless.
According to his idea, after swallowing the elixir, he now refines the elixir into vitality, and stores it in the dantian, allowing it to pass away, so that he can resist the oppression around him without much effort.
It's just an idea now, and whether it can come true depends on the next experiment.
While thinking about it, Zhang Yunfan poured out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowed it in his abdomen, and the pill instantly turned into a stream of vitality, flowing in the veins.
And Zhang Yunfan let go of his body and mind, ignoring the collision of vitality in his body, and let go of his body and mind to carefully feel the loss of vitality.
After a while, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Yunfan's mouth!
As he expected, vitality seeped out of his pores, relieving the oppression, and he felt a sense of relief that he had never felt before.
The pressure was greatly reduced, and he moved forward again, and his steps became a lot lighter, but the consumption was also extremely serious, and when he came to the foot of the mountain, a Guiyuan Dan had been completely consumed.
But for Zhang Yunfan, the most important thing is the elixir, he has been in the other world for so long, he has done one thing, specializing in collecting herbs and refining pills, so that alchemy is improving day by day.
With the assistance of Guiyuan Dan, the rest of the way was relatively smooth, and it didn't take much effort to come to the foot of the mountain.
When I got here, the pressure around me had increased by more than one percent, and the green grass on the ground had been pressed against the soil, but it had not withered, and was still growing luxuriantly.
Looking at the weeds everywhere, Zhang Yunfan couldn't help but think of the old man Baicao, who had taught him a set of boxing techniques called "Jincao Boxing".
The boxing method is based on grass, which is of far-reaching significance, and even involves the exploration of the origin of life, but no one knows the true meaning of life, and can only rely on their own little by little to comprehend.
"I didn't expect that my physique is not as good as these weeds, even they can withstand the pressure here, but I have to use pills to get here, alas, ......"
He smiled bitterly and sighed, and after a long sigh, he seemed to have been hit hard, and he felt a sense of loss of discouragement and disappointment, and his heart gradually became calm.
Glancing ahead, a bluestone step leads straight to the mountain, roughly estimated, there should be tens of thousands of stone steps, the more up, the more desolate the scenery on both sides of the stone steps.
This sense of desolation gave Zhang Yunfan another perception, and he remembered a question from the old man of Baicao - what color represents life?
At that time, his answer was very direct, it was green, but the old man Baicao told him that the answer was golden yellow.
Yellow means withering, falling leaves returning to the roots, withered grass feeding, moistening the soil, creating a spring for the coming year, which is the true meaning of life.
Hearing these words at that time, Zhang Yunfan simply felt that it made sense, but he didn't have a clear concept in his mind.
But now, looking at the half spring and half bleak beside him, the contrast of the obvious grass color, his heart suddenly churned, and he had a glimmer of understanding.
Even though the grass was bent on its back, it still stood stubbornly, and although its posture was not good-looking, it showed a rebellious momentum that did not admit defeat.
And in the barren land on both sides of the stone steps in the distance, there are also tenacious beings that are about to erupt, but this life is looking for an opportunity, and once the oppression above the head is relieved, they will surely break through the ground.
The contrast between the two extremes brought an unprecedented spiritual shock to those who observed carefully, and Zhang Yunfan closed his eyes and immersed himself in this shock, and it took a long time to wake up.
"Jincao boxing is a kind of unyielding boxing, at any time, in any situation, we must always yearn for hope." Zhang Yunfan realized something.
In his opinion, these truths comprehended through the Jincao Fist gave the sublimation of the soul a rare and valuable wealth, which was not comparable to spirit stones and pills.
Looking at the road in front of him, Zhang Yunfan took a deep breath and stepped onto the steps, this time he didn't take the pill, but wanted to resist the pressure around him through personal perseverance, just like the weeds on the ground, unyielding!
Because he didn't take the pill, Zhang Yunfan's steps this time were much more difficult, but he was not so bad that it was difficult to move an inch, and he was barely able to persevere......
Stepping on a difficult step, climbing up step by step, each step refreshed Zhang Yunfan's senses, "Grandma's, this is probably the most difficult mountain Lao Tzu has ever climbed in his life." ”
Ten thousand grass and mud horses galloped past in his heart, his footsteps shook, he gritted his teeth and climbed hundreds of floors, and when he looked up again, the mountain peaks were still out of reach.
After a glance at the top of the mountain, Zhang Yunfan felt a dazed feeling in his heart, and he especially wanted to give up, in order to dispel this thought, he chose to look down at his feet.
It is still feasible to choose to stare at your feet, and after taking a few steps in a row, the feeling of heaviness in my heart that is far away disappears.
Unconsciously, after walking hundreds of steps, the feeling of oppression became more and more intense, and at this moment Zhang Yunfan felt like a big orange that had been put into a juicer, and the pressure pressed his skin almost burst.
He stopped in place, looking at his drooping hands, and a trace of blood oozed from the pores on the surface of the skin, which was a sign that the blood vessels were compressed to the limit, and if they continued to carry it like this, the blood vessels would inevitably burst.
The body reached a limit, Zhang Yunfan didn't force it anymore, and knowingly took out a pill and swallowed it. The pill melts in the mouth, turning into a warm current that swells into the abdomen, penetrates into the blood vessels and circulates, relieving all kinds of discomfort in the body.
With the assistance of the elixir, the pressure on his body was greatly reduced, and Zhang Yunfan's head was much clearer, and he thought of some things.
As far as he is concerned, he has an innocent body, if he were an ordinary person, he would never be able to climb such a high step, and at most he would be squeezed by the pressure at the foot of the mountain.
But this is only for the Quenching Body Realm cultivators, Baili Zhanxiong and the others are already Returning to the Yuan Realm cultivation, and their physical fitness is naturally stronger, but at most they can be compared with the Pure Body.
At this time, Zhang Yunfan relied on swallowing pills to barely climb the five hundred steps, and the rest of the people could imagine that if they wanted to climb so high, it would also be difficult.
It's just that Zhang Yunfan feels confused that Baili Zhanxiong still has two burdens around him, among them, Princess Mingzhu is defenseless because of her coma, and it is impossible to resist the pressure around her.
After thinking about it, Zhang Yunfan couldn't come up with a reasonable reason to explain how Baili Zhanxiong brought people to the mountain, which is not the most critical.
One of the questions that puzzled him the most was why Baili Zhanxiong wanted to go up the mountain, which was the most incomprehensible.
You must know that Baili Zhanxiong had been communicating with him before, and he suddenly disappeared when he cracked the boundary gate.
"Shouldn't they have gone out already......" With the thought, Zhang Yunfan suddenly felt a faint embarrassment in his heart.
After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation, and when I looked back, I was already some distance from the foot of the mountain, and it was not too late to turn back now.
Just when Zhang Yunfan was thinking about whether to withdraw, he suddenly heard an ethereal shout, "Zhang...... We ......"
The voice was extremely ethereal, intermittent and inaudible, as if it had come from a distant world, and it was very indistinct.
Hearing this voice, Zhang Yunfan suddenly determined one thing, Baili Zhanxiong and they were definitely in the enchantment, but the specific location was difficult to judge.
Turning around with difficulty, looking around, the four fields were empty, the grass at the foot of the mountain was lush, there was no half a figure, just when Zhang Yunfan was about to turn around, his eyes suddenly froze.
He stared in the direction where he had landed when he entered, and saw a figure appear on the transparent barrier in midair.
This person is no stranger to Zhang Yunfan, it is the general Sima Yuan who was frightened by him and fled.
"Isn't this grandson so frightened that he ran away, why did he come here again?" Zhang Yunfan was surprised in his heart, and at the same time worried about the safety of Duanmu Xianyue.
Before entering the ice lake, Zhang Yunfan had an agreement with Duanmu Xianyue and asked her to wait on it, but now that Sima Yuan has come to the bottom of the lake, he may have encountered Duanmu Xianyue......
"I don't know how Duanmu Xianyue is now?" Zhang Yunfan was secretly anxious in his heart, but he was powerless to do anything, so he could only pray that Duanmu Xianyue would not have an accident.
Looking outside through a layer of enchantment, the situation was the same as that of Baili Zhanxiong before, and he could see it very clearly, and he saw Sima Yuan constantly circling around the enchantment, as if he was looking for an entrance.
Now Zhang Yunfan and Sima Yuan are hostile, they fought briefly in front of the big tent before, if they meet, Sima Yuan will definitely be able to recognize him.
The so-called, the enemy is very red when they meet, Sima Yuan is a master of the Immortal Realm, just with Zhang Yunfan's current slight cultivation, once he encounters it, he will undoubtedly be defeated, this is for sure.
"If this thing comes in, it will be troublesome, and it will definitely come to chase and kill Lao Tzu, damn, it's a problem for this hellish place to escape!" Zhang Yunfan was apprehensive in his heart.
After thinking about it, Zhang Yunfan's inner anxiety gradually calmed down......
The solidity of the enchantment is unquestionable, and he also relied on the strength of his divine sense, and it took a lot of effort to get in, and he deeply understands the difficulties.
In short, in Zhang Yunfan's view, if Sima Yuan wants to enter, the difficulties he encounters may not be over, and he will even return in vain.
Sometimes ideas are often not equal to reality, just like at this time, Zhang Yunfan thought that Sima Yuan would not break through the enchantment so easily, but he was wrong.
I don't know what magic weapon Sima Yuan took out from his arms, but I saw him shake his hand and throw out something invisible, and then put his hands together, as if he was silently reciting a spell, and then the enchantment began to fluctuate.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yunfan was completely dumbfounded, "Could it be that the thing in his hand is the key to unlocking the enchantment?" ”
The moment he had the idea, Zhang Yunfan also had a deep sense of crisis, which was based on the premise that the enchantment was about to be opened.
Zhang Yunfan's adaptability is very strong, and in this urgent situation, he made a decision immediately.
Now that he is in this barrier, he can't fly up or down, and the only way to ensure safety is to continue to climb up the mountain, and the higher he climbs, the safer he is.
After making up his mind, Zhang Yunfan no longer hesitated, before he still thought of using his own strength to climb the mountain step by step, so as to hone his heart and body.
But now that the situation has changed, this idea was put out of his mind, and he immediately poured out a pill, swallowed it, and then took a step.
With the assistance of the elixir, he climbed more than two hundred floors in one go, and when he looked back, the mist was misty under the mountain, and the fluctuations of the enchantment became more and more obvious, but he didn't look much and continued to climb towards the mountain.
After climbing 900 steps, the pressure around him reached an unprecedented limit, and in this case, it was difficult to take another step up.
Squatting on the steps and resting for a while, Zhang Yunfan wiped the cold sweat on his body, only to find that his skin was extraordinarily cold, like ice.
As someone who has crossed over from the world of science, Zhang Yunfan knows very well what the symptoms of the body represent.
The human body has a limit, and when the blood is not flowing smoothly and the organs are compressed, the body's heat will be quickly lost and become cold.
For example, in the case of a dead person, as the body organs gradually stop working, the heat begins to be lost, so that the corpse will slowly cool down and become a dead body.
The principle is the same, when the human body is suppressed by external forces, the working ability of the organs will be suppressed, the heat will dissipate, and the body will naturally be cold.
At this time, Zhang Yunfan not only felt tightness in his chest, but also because of the extreme consumption, which led to serious energy loss in the body, resulting in a sense of prostration, which must be replenished in time, otherwise, there will be sudden situations such as syncope.
In this case, if he suddenly passed out, it would be tantamount to death, so he wisely took out the food and devoured it.
Before he could enjoy the perfect food, the enchantment shrouded above his head suddenly changed, the surface flow lines shook for a while, gathering in one direction, and a portal suddenly opened in the distance, and Sima Yuan rushed in!
