Volume 2 Chapter 14, The Last Barrier
They set out at dawn the next day, the sun was still below the horizon, golden in the east, dark purple in the west, and a few stars scattered above the horizon.
The morning air was cool, they gathered under the gently fluttering flag at the door of the Xiliang Inn, Yang Liu wore a green silk skirt, the sleeves and neckline were embroidered with small white flowers, her hair was pulled back, and under her white neck, she wore a light blue gem.
As soon as the morning breeze blew, the silk skirt of the willow fluttered back gently, and the perfect figure was exposed in front of Saruo and Xiaoye.
Saruo only felt a movement in his heart, and once again saw the beauty of the willows, and was slightly distracted.
Yang Liu and Sisi were the prettiest girls he had ever seen, Yang Liu's personality was cold, and Sisi was like a fire.
Saro couldn't figure out why these two girls became such good sisters, and besides, these two girls were actually in love with him, although Sisi was full of hatred for him now, but he believed that deep down in her heart she still loved herself.
"Wow!" Xiao Ye said with an obsessive gaze, "Sister Yang Liu, you are so beautiful, goddess!"
A touch of red instantly rose on Yang Liu's white face, and he turned his head slightly, slightly annoyed by Xiao Ye's frivolous language, but it didn't come out.
"Xiao Ye, what to see!" Seeing Xiao Ye's drooling appearance, looking at Yang Liu Saruo, he was angry, slapped him on the head, and slapped him with a stagger, "Let's go!"
Sa Ruo unfolded the phoenix flying body method, running on the cobblestone streets of Xiliang City, his figure became in a trance, Xiao Ye and Yang Liu followed, Xiao Ye fell at the end, Sa Ruo deliberately lowered his speed, so as not to let them fall too far behind.
Xiliang City is just a small border city, not prosperous, the area is not very large, the scenery and pedestrians on the street are rapidly retreating on both sides of Saruo, and the resistance of the air is coming head-on, the faster you run, the greater the resistance.
Although the speed is fast, Saruo can still see clearly, most of the streets are some old small shops, nothing special, but one of the shops with the words "Qingfeng Pill Shop" written on it surprised him, he didn't expect that there was a place to sell pills in such a border town, he wanted to stop and buy some pills, but he didn't think that he had a lot of money.
Most of the pedestrians were ordinary residents of the area dressed in coarse cloth, and Saro could tell that they were not very cultivated.
However, one of them raised his eyebrows as he passed by, and his eyes showed excitement, this man was an old man, with small eyes, and a short goat's beard, and according to his expression, Saruo deduced that this person must have cultivated something.
As Saro ran, there were fewer and fewer houses and fewer people on Xiliang Street, and there was a white stone arch bridge at the end of the street.
Saro stopped here, the water under the bridge was clear and chirping, and the reflection was twisting and waving in the flowing water, and he didn't know how to go behind him, so he had to wait for the willow to lead the way.
"You're a lot faster. It didn't take long for Yang Liu to come over, and after saying this, he leaned against the railing and said no more.
After about a cup of tea, Xiao Ye also stumbled and almost bumped into Yang Liu, but Yang Liu gently turned sideways and let go.
"This kid did it on purpose. Saro thought to himself.
Xiao Ye panted and said, "When you get here, the shopkeeper shouldn't chase after you, right?"
"Even if we chase here, Yang Liu and I will be able to escape," Saruo said angrily, "I just don't know what will happen when you are so slow?"
"It's okay if you escape, it's a big deal to mortgage me there, you two are so happy, right," Xiao Ye snorted, "Saruo, you guy who is heavy on sex and light on friends, when will you remember that you still have a brother!"
Seeing that Yang Liu's face slowly turned cold, Sa Ruo really wanted to kick Xiao Ye a few times, but he heard Yang Liu say coldly: "Why did you run away, and what trouble did you cause?"
Saruo and Xiao Ye's faces turned red at the same time, and they glanced at each other, they couldn't say that they didn't have the money to accompany the shop's iron rake. "It's nothing, Sister Yang Liu, we didn't cause any trouble!" Xiao Ye hurriedly said.
"It's just that after getting here, how to go to Tianxuan Sect, I have to ask Senior Sister you to lead the way. Seeing the look of disbelief on Yang Liu's face, Sa Ruo hurriedly changed the topic.
"Just call me Yang Liu," Yang Liu said coldly, "Don't be senior sister and senior sister all day long, I'm not that old!"
After saying that, unfold the method and leave first. Saruo was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xiao Ye, who was also stunned, neither of them expected that Yang Liu could say such a thing.
Yang Liu's body is elegant and smart, the posture is graceful, and there is a layer of hazy green light around the body, like a green leaf being blown forward by the wind, and in the light breeze brought out by the body, Saruo seems to smell some faint fragrance, refreshing people's hearts.
So after the stone bridge, for almost a whole day, Saro didn't want to catch up to the front, their overall speed slowed down a lot, although Xiaoye still fell last, but occasionally he could catch up and walk side by side with Saruo, but Saruo sped up a little faster, he was far behind, and the later he came, the fewer times he could catch up, every time he caught up, he was sweating profusely.
After the stone bridge, the three of them spent the whole day running on a large barren plain, which stretched forward and seemed to have no end in sight.
There was not a village, not a single plant, but a desolate reddish-brown land, covered with gravel, and they were in the middle of this desolate land, with a blue sky above them.
After half a day, Saro began to feel lonely and lonely, and he believed that others felt the same way, because Xiao Ye hadn't yelled for a long time, and Yang Liu's speed slowed down, and sometimes he walked side by side with Saro.
It made their journey strangely boring, and seemed to be more tired, but they persevered all day, and at sunset they finally came to the end of the plain.
Every plain has its end, but the end of this plain is particularly abrupt.
A mountain peak rose in front of them, reaching into the sky, and the terrain changed so quickly that it felt like the mountain had been suddenly placed here.
The three of them stopped here, looking up at the wonder of the world, the sun was blocked behind the mountain, the place where the top of the mountain met with the sky was dyed a fiery red, wisps of golden light shot out from the gap between the mountain, a total of seven peaks, the peaks were connected to the peaks, like seven giants holding hands standing here, the mountains continued to stretch to the left and right, until they were out of sight, like a winding wall at the end of the world.
"These seven peaks are called Jiepai Peak, and they are the last barrier between the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent," Yang Liu seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be talking to Sa Ruo, "After this mountain peak, it is considered to be the Western Continent, the real Western Continent, and you will see that the original world is still so big." ”
"They're so tall," Konoha famously commented, "I've never seen such a tall mountain!"
yes, they're really tall. "Do we have to climb over them to get there?" said Saruo, thinking of the key question.
"This is really a question," Xiao Ye also noticed, "I'm afraid I won't be able to climb over it in ten days and half a month!"
Yang Liu's gaze turned to Saruo and Xiaoye, and said lightly: "This mountain is indeed very high, and sometimes you can see snow on the top of the mountain, if you really climb up, the scenery must be very good, I really want to climb to the top of the mountain when to see the snow." ”
Yang Liu turned his gaze again and looked at the top of the mountain, and when he turned his gaze, he stayed on Saruo for a few seconds, as if he wanted to go to the top of the mountain with you and go to see the snow with you, which made Saruo's heart move again.
"But we don't have to climb up, there is a tunnel in the waist of the mountain that we can go straight through. ”
"You mean that this mountain has been pierced, a tunnel has been pierced?" Saruo could no longer suppress the surprise in his heart, and his voice became a little excited, "How is this possible!"
"How is it impossible?" Yang Liu still said in the same tone, "Sisi and I only learned when we arrived at Tianxuan Sect that this tunnel was dug by the people of Tianxuan Sect five hundred years ago. ”
She said: "At that time, people in the Western Continent wanted to explore this world and get more cultivation resources, and they often needed to climb over mountain peaks, which were strange and dangerous, and people often accidentally fell from them and died. ”
She said: "In order to facilitate people to go to the Fengxin Forest and the Eastern Continent, the first generation of the Tianxuan Sect at that time led hundreds of elite disciples under his sect to spend decades digging such a tunnel connecting the east and the west, which facilitated the communication between the east and the west, and also brought back countless different cultivation techniques. ”
She said, "Therefore, Tianxuan Sect has always had a high status in the Western Continent. Tianxuanzong was built on the other side of the mountain, on the mountainside of the peak in the middle of the seven peaks, as soon as it came out of the tunnel. ”
Saro didn't speak for a long time, and he just wanted to see the tunnel on the mountain earlier.
"Then what are you waiting for, after passing the tunnel, it will be Tianxuanzong, let's hurry up while it's still dark," Xiao Ye said, "I don't want to sleep in the wild every day." ”
