Chapter 22: The Ladder to the Sky

The early winter of 968 in the Lu Lin calendar.

Qi and Liang sent 200,000 troops each to raid the border of Wuguo, and Wuguo was caught off guard and lost several places.

At the beginning of the snow of the same year, King Wu was furious and sent black and red horsemen to the battlefield, vowing to clean up the two kingdoms of Qiliang and leave the country.

On the winter solstice, the invasion army of the two kingdoms of Qiliang was blocked in Kangcheng, Donglin County, and Yucheng, Nanyan County.

Xu Xiaoyong, the general of Liang, joined forces with the beasts on the periphery of the Kunwu Mountains, attacked the city strongly, besieged Yucheng for several days, did not break its city, and was blocked by the red cavalry led by Wu Qian, the general of Wuguo, and was defeated, leaving only 50,000 remnants of the army, fleeing back to the territory of Liang.

According to effective intelligence, a new type of military type appeared on the battlefield, covered with black armor, with a single horn on the forehead, and it was not afraid of death, and it could not be killed unless it was strong. There are even more yellow-armored people, with sharp blades all over their bodies, suspected of being congenital, and they are unstoppable.

For a time, the storm was surging, and a large number of secret agents entered Tianyun City to investigate the information of the troops, and Liang Qi and the two kingdoms only knew their names - Martial God Soldiers.

........................

The time cuts back to the third day after Linjia Town was broken.

Lin Feng, who had been in a coma for three days, woke up slowly, and suddenly wanted to get up to take precautions, but he felt weak and his thinking was sluggish.

"It's useless, I've given you the ant liquid of the Zigang Ant, which has sealed your martial arts and mind, and now you can only move slowly and think simply. Li Yishui, who was meditating with his eyes closed, looked at Lin Feng who was trying to struggle, and said lightly.

After struggling to sit up, Lin Feng realized that he was in the air, sitting on the back of a huge flying bird.

"Blue Water Eagle?" As a recruit in Yizhen, demon beast recognition is a necessary training. In this way, resistance can be effectively organized and the invasion of the herd can be prevented.

Ignoring Lin Feng's surprise, Li Yishui closed his eyes again, and the scenery below quickly skimmed, Lin Feng was expected to have reached the speed of the maglev train in his previous life.

But I didn't feel the wind pressure at all, just a breeze. Lin Feng knew that this was the windshield formed by the blue water sculpture's own demonic energy.

Lin Feng looked at Li Yishui, who was meditating, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Li Yishui's opening.

"Don't ask, just wait, and in two days, you'll know. ”

"If you come, you will be safe. Putting away his doubts, Lin Feng began to meditate, preparing to enter meditation. As soon as the consciousness rose, there was a tingling in the mind, and the whole consciousness began to be in a trance.

Lin Feng immediately opened his eyes, he was already sweating profusely at the moment, and he had a headache.

"Don't try to meditate, don't try to cultivate, the purple gang produced by the Purple Gang ant liquid is not something you can break in a small lower three realms. Li Yishui's voice came again.

"Can you explain it clearly at one time? I have to be deflated before I am reminded, Zhuge afterwards?" couldn't help but complain in his heart, Lin Feng lay down helplessly, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

Two days later, Donglin County.

In just five days, Lin Feng and the others passed through several counties and entered Donglin County in the east of the Martial Kingdom.

A long whistle came from the dense forest below, and the blue water eagle who heard the whistle stopped sharply and flapped its wings in the air.

Soon, the second whistle came, and the blue water eagle who was discerning the direction dived and flew quickly towards the location of the whistle.

Following the guidance of the whistle, the blue water sculpture soon came to a cave, and at the entrance of the cave stood two men in black robes, with a silver symbol embroidered on their chests, holding whistles in their hands.

Stopping steadily in front of the entrance of the cave, Lin Feng was pulled by Li Yishui and jumped off the back of the carving. After standing still, Li Yishui crossed his hands in front of his chest, bowed slightly, and saluted the two black-robed people.

"I've seen two beast envoys. ”

"I've seen the Shadow Messenger. ”

The two black-robed beast envoys saluted at the same time.

Immediately, Li Yishui pulled Lin Feng and walked past the two of them to the cave. On both sides of the cave tunnel, a row of crystal ores is inserted, emitting a soft white light, illuminating the tunnel and leading to the depths.

Soon, I reached the depths of the cave, and saw that in the five-zhang square cave, there were only two simple futons and a statue.

The statue depicts a woman who is about to fly into the sky, holding a guqin in her hand, and at her feet, there are two clusters of hand shadows, as if trying to grab the woman and prevent her from flying away.

In front of the statue there is an incense table, on which there are objects for worship, and there is a tablet with the words: "Nine Heavens Venerable - Jade Linglong." ”

Li Yishui let go of Lin Feng, walked quickly to the incense table, lit three incense sticks, and bowed respectfully. As Li Yishui finished worshipping, the guqin in the statue's hand lit up a string.

"Zheng-" A sound wave rippled, and soon Lin Feng was surprised to find that in the originally empty hole, a silver magic circle suddenly appeared, slowly spinning.

Li Yishui, who got up, pushed Lin Feng into the magic circle, and then stepped into it in one step, took out a silver token from his arms, pinched the trick with his right hand, and punched out a magic seal, the token was immediately suspended in the air, and in Lin Feng's dull gaze, the same magic circle was reflected under his feet, and then pressed down on the top of Lin Feng's two heads.

"Ahh

The tearing sensation lasted for three breaths, and when Lin Feng no longer felt torn, just dizzy in his head, Li Yishui's voice came from his ears.

"It's here. ”

Lin Feng, who struggled to open his eyes, saw the most shocking scene since his rebirth.

The circular platform was suspended in the air, and at this moment, the magic circle under the feet of the two of them was just now, but it was no longer light and shadow, but it was actually depicted.

Several light gates surround the entire platform, and behind the light gates are bands of light, connecting the suspended temples in the distance. Each temple was shrouded in a transparent shroud of light, like bubbles floating in the air.

In the light strip connecting the reticle, there are also figures shuttling back and forth. The most central light shield is the most huge, like the sun guarded by the stars.

"Let's go"

Li Yishui stepped out of the magic circle first and walked towards one of the light gates. Lin Feng, who was following quickly, came to Li Yishui's side and asked a little excitedly, "Lord Li, is this the teleportation array?"

"Hmm" Nodding slightly, Lin Feng glanced back at the patterns of the magic array, as if he wanted to write it down, but even if he felt a burst of dizziness, the part he had just remembered became blurry and quickly forgotten.

"This ......"

"The pattern of the magic circle cannot be memorized until the will is cultivated. Li Yishui on the side said with a different face.

Shaking his head slightly, Lin Feng, who got rid of the dizziness, hurriedly withdrew his gaze and followed Li Yishui to the light gate.

Li Yishui pinched the trick with his right hand, drew a symbol in the void, and with a guide of his right hand, he pointed at the forehead of Lin Feng, who had just returned to his senses, and then took the lead and stepped into the light gate.

Touching the forehead printed with the symbol, Lin Feng buried his head and followed into the light gate.

What caught my eye was the scene of a streamer shuttling, like a space tunnel, and directly in front of him, Li Yishui had already flown out more than ten zhang away. At this time, Lin Feng felt as if his whole person was weightless, and the symbol on his forehead was emitting a wave of fluctuations, which soon spread to the entire channel.

Immediately after, Lin Feng felt a traction force around his body, pulling himself forward slowly, faster and faster, towards the huge light shield in the center, galloping away.

Lin Feng couldn't describe his mood at the moment, as if he had returned to his previous life and took a transparent sightseeing elevator to the skyscraper. The surface is not alarmed, but the heart is already surging.

"Where is this Kewu World, this is simply the Super Martial World. ”

Soon, Lin Feng saw the light gate at the end of the passage, and at this moment, Li Yishui was already suspended in front of the light gate waiting for him.

Stopping steadily beside Li Yishui, Li Yishui turned around and carried Lin Feng, stepped out of the passage in one step, and appeared in the light mask.

A huge square appeared in front of him, occupying almost three-quarters of the entire light mask, and in the center stood a huge stone monument. A group of men and women dressed in white were gathered around the stone monument, looking up to see what was happening. At the very edge of the square, the remaining quarter of the light mask, is a splendid palace suspended in mid-air, descended by a twelve-step platform, connecting to the square from the temple gate. Between the platforms and the platforms, they are connected by eighty-one steps, forming a chain and leading directly to the palace gate.

The staircase formed by the interconnection of these layers of platforms is the famous staircase here.

Li Yishui dragged Lin Feng and walked straight through the square and towards the ladder. The white-clothed people along the way saluted Li Yishui one after another, and praised in their mouths: "I've seen the Shadow Envoy." ”

Lin Feng, who was being dragged all the way forward, looked at this place that seemed to be a sect and an organization very curiously, and watched a man in white who seemed to be a disciple or a member saluting Li Yishui, and the curiosity in his heart intensified.

Finally, when he came to the ladder, Li Yishui let go of Lin Feng and let him face the ladder. Feeling bursts of coercion coming from the stairs in front of him, Lin Feng's face turned pale, and he involuntarily stepped back, but was gently patted on the shoulder by Li Yishui, removing the pressure on his body.

"This is the honey of the tailed bee, which can dissolve the ant fluid of the purple ant in your body, from now on, you need to climb this ladder step by step, and you must reach the first platform. He handed Lin Feng a small porcelain vase, and Li Yishui commanded softly.

took the porcelain bottle, raised his head and swallowed the honey, there was a fragrance in his mouth, and then turned into a stream of heat that swept through his body. Lin Feng only felt a lightness all over his body, and his head became clear and aura, as if the whole person had jumped out of the quagmire.

"What happens if I don't reach the first platform?" Tentatively asking what was in his mind, Lin Feng stared at Li Yishui tightly.

"Will die. The voice, which was so flat that there was no emotion, came out of Li Yishui's mouth, and although he had already guessed the answer, Lin Feng still couldn't help but shrink his pupils.

"Can I refuse to climb this ladder?" asked Lin Feng, who did not give up.

"You can try. Li Yishui moved a few steps to the left and fell to the edge of the ladder. The coercion emanating from stepping on the ladder once again enveloped Lin Feng.

"Hmph-" With a muffled snort, Lin Feng only took half a step back, then forcibly resisted this coercion, and then meditated cross-legged on the spot and began to breathe.

After the time of the half-pillar incense passed, Lin Feng, who was under duress, slowly opened his eyes and slowly stood up. At this time, there were already many people in white gathered around the ladder, looking at Lin Feng and talking in a whisper.

"This person was brought back by Lord Shadow Envoy, and it seems that he is going to be admitted to the sect. A diminutive disciple whispered.

"Aren't you talking nonsense, otherwise why bring the ladder to the sky, clearly see what the qualifications are, and then make a decision. A man next to him, who was also short, glanced at the former with contempt.

"How many steps do you think he can go up?" asked a woman with a bit of a look of curiosity.

"Heh, junior sister, according to my brother, at most, he will be able to support the thirtieth order, and the meridians in his body are empty, and at first glance, there are only the lower three realms. Being able to go up to the thirtieth level is already considered a medium talent. Holding a folding fan in his hand, the man with a bit of literati temperament laughed softly.

Feeling the discussion of the white-clothed people around him, Lin Feng seemed to be in another space, and he couldn't hear any sound at all.

With a long exhalation, a momentum burst out from Lin Feng's body, resisting the coercion emanating from the stairs while adjusting himself to be in the best condition. With a slight arch towards Li Yishui not far away, Lin Feng raised his head and stepped towards the first step.

"Bang" seemed to hit an invisible wall, Lin Feng's tears flowed from the collision, and his momentum was even more shattered, and he was pushed back a few steps by coercion to stabilize his body, covering his sore nose, Lin Feng looked at Li Yishui in puzzlement.

The white-clothed people around him laughed even more, although he couldn't hear the sound, but from the other party's movements and demeanor, it was almost just a word like laughing and scolding stupidity and mental retardation.

"The shadow envoy Li Yishui, with Lin Feng of Linjia Town, entered the Shadow Heavenly Palace, followed the ancestral law, stepped on the ladder, and performed the entrance ceremony. Li Yishui crossed his hands across his chest and bowed towards the half-empty palace.

"Boom"

The sound of the temple door ajar came from the half-empty palace, and then an ethereal sound rolled down from above.

"Quasi"

As the sound fell, I saw a streamer of light on the ladder slip from above. The entire ladder is shrouded in a layer of mist, which seems extremely unreal.

At this time, Lin Feng looked at Li Yishui with a bitter face, and his heart was speechless.

"You said that you didn't do this procedure earlier, you have to bump into the eyes of Venus, you take your time, are you born with a heart with less eyes?"

"Are you alright?" Turning around and waving to the white-clothed people around him, Lin Feng stepped on the first step with his other foot.

"Bang", Lin Feng, who had just stepped on the first step of the ladder, was so pressed by a huge coercion that he lay on the stairs, feeling that the whole person was pressed by a big mountain and couldn't move.

The surrounding onlookers shook their heads one by one, and most of them slowly dispersed, as if they felt that such a waste of wood that had been pressed down on the first step was a complete waste of time.

Lin Feng didn't have time to care about everyone's reactions at all, he was facing tremendous pressure at this time, and the bones in his body made a gurgling sound, as if he couldn't bear it anymore and was about to shatter.

There was no way, Lin Feng could only fight for fate to cast heavenly skills, hoping to use this to drive the power of the bones in his whole body and break this pressure.

"Giggles".

The sound of bones became louder and louder, and Lin Feng obviously felt that he had reached his limit, and his whole person seemed to be like a dehydrated prawn.

Consciousness also began to become blurred, and at the moment when Lin Feng's whole person was about to fall into a coma, at the center of his eyebrows, a furnace-shaped symbol flashed, and in his mind, an incense burner appeared, and a powerful force gushed out from the incense burner, penetrating Lin Feng's mind, overflowing out of his body, forming a repulsive force, enveloping Lin Feng's whole person.
