Although the bridge is short, it is extremely wide and sturdy, and it has not broken until now because there are few passers-by and there are no heavy objects. Although it has no ornaments, no railings, and no artistic conception with the ravines below it. But for many years, Xiaoqiao has sent away a lot of young people who have gone out, and they are also waiting for them to return with dreams.

After seeing too much prosperity, who wants to return to a cramped place? After enjoying wealth and nobility, who wants to be poor again? They have long been poor and afraid and do not want to live a poor life again.

Many rich people let their children live a frugal life, which is called experience. But they are poor and live the life of rich people, without any discomfort, and they don't want to let go at all. But if you want to be rich, you have to sell miserably and pretend. No home, no parents, is the usual means of many people, otherwise who would hire them who have just come out of the mountains? No experience, no ability, no connections, the new generation of three people.

There are also a few old guys in the small mountain village who have gone out to look for their children, but they all failed, the outside world is too big to be compared to the small mountain village. But there was an old man who found his son, he had become the son-in-law of the hotel owner, and even if he knelt in front of him, his extremely loyal son did not recognize his father, and said that I did not know this crazy old man. He took a bite to make the big boss of the hotel believe in himself, and in the end, the old guy had to drag back with an injury.

Xiaoqiao has existed for a long time, more than 20 years, but there are few memories, but it is worth it to meet a girl like A Candle. She's the only one who left here and came back. When he left, he was worthless, but when he returned, he had become a cultivator and became the pride of his grandmother, so that he had a smile on his face when he left.

Grandma is still reluctant to give up on Ah Candle, but she knows that Ah Candle, who she has been worried about, has not been bullied, abducted, or tarnished, but is practicing!

Ah Candle said that she lived in a tiled building. Every day, you can go to the huge canteen to eat, and there is meat in the meal, eggs in the meal, and you can change the tricks. Ah Candle also has an old gentleman who specializes in teaching himself, and he can eat all-you-can-eat peaches in the peach forest in summer, and he can play around with Doudou in winter.

Grandma couldn't imagine that kind of scene, but there was an extremely bright light in her eyes. Wherever Ah Candle goes, it will envelop her. Ah Candle had a bad life and was abandoned at birth, but she was also lucky, because she could practice in the academy and become one of the few cultivators in the world.

The more Grandma thought about it, the happier she became, took Ah Candle's hand, and instructed:

"Practice hard at the academy, perform more tasks, come back less, and everything will be fine with grandma. ”

Ah Candle nodded, and when he walked to the end of the bridge, he hugged his grandmother, who raised him. Ah Candle had tears in her eyes, choked in her throat, and her grandmother patted her back while looking at Xia Xiao. The latter did not avoid his grandmother's gaze, but looked at her. The old man definitely wanted his granddaughter to be taken care of, and Xia Xiao understood it, so he smiled and bowed his head, making her face look kind and grateful when she knelt down in her eyes.

At Grandma's age, every time she and Ah Candle meet, they may say goodbye forever. But she still touched the top of Ah Candle's head and said gently:

"It's all big girls, don't cry, don't cry, get ready to go!"

Ah Candle wiped away her tears and prepared to go. Then, above his head, a golden rune array came out. The talisman array had a golden luster, and the noble and untouchable feeling made Grandma and several old guys in the village look up in incredible disbelief. This was the first time Grandma had seen the talisman array, and her chin was about to drag to the ground when she couldn't take her eyes off it. However, Ah Candle kept rising in it, and finally disappeared from her grandmother's field of vision.

"Come on~"

Ah Candle heard it and said goodbye loudly. The light of Heaven and Earth Jinze disappeared in an instant, and Xia Xiao and Ah Candle also entered the tunnel opened up by the rune array. Li Lunming glanced at Xia Xiao meaningfully, and when the latter nodded, they left together. There was no rune array leading to the nine-story Senran Pagoda here, it was Li Lunming who passed the punctuation and then asked Sun Zhonglei to temporarily cast it, just one day.

And after a quarter of an hour, they arrived at their destination. It's dark and dark, with very little light, as if it is under a cloudy cloud forever. Standing in this world, the cotton clothes on Xia Xiao's body could no longer stop this cold air. Compared to the ice field, the temperature here is not terrifying, and they are not too little dressed, but the cold air wafting in the air goes straight to the bone marrow, which is difficult to resist.

When Xia Xiao felt cold, he subconsciously used his vitality to resist outside his body, but it was useless, so he muttered:

"These guys are really good at finding land, no wonder many people don't know where they are, and this is not suitable for human life. ”

In such a depressing place, how can you be in the mood to practice? But Li Lunming said:

"At least there are records of the Nine-Story Senran Tower, and the one who will really find a place is the Qingtian Sect. We still don't know where it is, and if it weren't for the fact that they've been peaceful and decent, the Academy would have been suspicious of them. ”

Xia Xiao has no impression of the Qingtian Sect at all, but it is not a sin to love mystery, whether deliberately or unintentionally, and there is no need to delve into it. The town in front of it is built around a large tower, which is dark in color, invisibly showing the cold atmosphere of slaughter, like a building that cultivates killing machines. And its purpose is to help the disciples in the tower become familiar with and learn to control the killing intent.

The big tower is straight to the sky, with a total of nine floors, which is not much different from Luo Jing's black tower that Xia Xiao saw that day, but it is higher. The closer you get, the more you know how tall the Black Tower is. Xia Xiao also gradually understood why his predecessors 10,000 years ago chose to build the Black Tower here and did not move away. There is a lot more vitality here than the outside world, and more importantly, there is a natural dark qi here, like a spring, which will continuously spew out dark and cold air.

"Nanshang and Tianmengxi, there is a low-lying place, the earth's crust is extremely thin, and the underworld of the Great Wilderness can be reached under it, is this what you are talking about?"

"It should be. ”

Ah Candle was a little curious and asked:

"Is there really an underworld?"

Xia Xiao didn't know either, and looked at Li Lunming, who thought for a moment and said:

"Not necessarily, you can say yes, you can say no. Because there are people in the world, there are demons, demons, and gods, and naturally there will be ghosts. The concept of ghosts in the Great Wilderness is different, some say that spirits and ghosts are like wild beasts and demons, and some people say that ghosts are fictional things. There are thousands of academics, each with different statements, and it is difficult to summarize. ”

"What do you think?"

"Personally, I think there is, but people are good and well-behaved, and so are ghosts. Ordinary people may not know that the spiritual world of a practitioner is extremely observant, and it has been freed from the ethereal, and even has a reality, just like the spiritual sea in our minds. When a cultivator dies, as long as he has a strong enough strength to support him, and his mind is strong enough, there is no precedent for the appearance of a soul body......"

This kind of academic discussion is what every faculty member loves to do, but Li Lunming suddenly stopped and looked at the big tower to the west. There was a light coming out of the tower, slamming across the sky.
