Chapter 104: In front of the Blackwater River (3rd Update)
In the secret place, gray-yellow sandy beaches.
The sky was still gray, and it seemed that there was little sunlight to be seen except in the illusion.
Sunlight is a luxury in the secret realm, and the gray and gloomy sky weighs heavily on people's hearts, and after a long time, even people's hearts are crushed and distorted.
Beneath his feet was a fine grayish-yellow stretch of sand that stretched into the distance, with only one or two weeds growing in it.
A golden light rushed into the sky with a huge sharp whistling sound, and Yifeng and Ben Qian looked up, and they couldn't remember how many times this was the first time they emitted golden light.
After the two of them came out of the fantasy town, they slept all the way, and walked for nearly two days, but they still haven't seen the center of the secret realm, and the golden light always seems to be emitting so far away, giving people a kind of unreachable despair.
The wind and rain along the way, the two of them were very embarrassed, and the blood stains on their bodies had been washed away by the dry and cold wind and bitter rain in the secret realm.
The robe on Yifeng's body was full of holes and tattered. Ben Qian is a girl's family, and she often pays attention to avoiding the wind and rain, which is generally better, but in fact, she is also very panicked.
In the two days that the two walked, Yifeng often recalled what happened in the illusion, reminisced about the unforgettable pain and despair, and often fell silent.
Ben Qianchu saw Yifeng's depression and tried every means to make him happy, but then it didn't work, so he walked forward silently like him.
But in fact, her heart was full of entanglement and incomprehension, in addition to saving his life in the town, the illusion she encountered before was actually related to him!
She still hasn't understood why there is a wind in her illusion, and it is closely related to her, is it the heart debt that she slapped him three times in the temple before, or is it some other inexplicable karma?
This made her attitude towards Yifeng change, and at first she tried to make him happy, and then she lost her temper at him from time to time.
Except for Aunt Xiu, Yifeng rarely has contact with other girls, and he was already preoccupied, but later he was even more depressed by Ben Qian's fickle temper.
What the two of them don't know is that it is precisely because of the stormy weather in the past two days and the vagaries of getting along that they have buried an invisible and entangled thread for their complicated lives in the future.
Suddenly, Yifeng stopped, his eyes widened, and he turned to Ben Qian and said, "Senior Sister Ben Qian, listen." ”
Ben Qian also stopped, listened attentively, and a dull noise faintly vibrated in front of her - there is a river!
This made them excited, and they walked for an unknown distance in the sand, although it seemed that the beach must be connected to the river, but they walked for more than a day, and they were almost in despair.
Walking in the fine sand was very strenuous, and some of the larger gravel would often slip into the shoes and wear out the soles of the feet, and the feet of Yifeng and Xiugu were already covered with blood blisters.
They quicken their pace and move forward, the water in the river can quench their thirst, and it is quite comfortable to soak their feet in the river.
When they excitedly walked forward and saw the river, the joy on their faces instantly turned into sadness: the river was too wide, wide to the end of the line of sight, and the river was surging into the distance, but the color was as black as ink, exuding disgusting bursts of power fluctuations, and they also decided that this river of black water was by no means an ordinary river.
When they came to the riverbank, they were surprised to find that there were two monks on the riverbank, who did not look anxious in the slightest as if they were about to cross the river, but as if they were waiting for someone.
Yifeng and Ben Qian walked over, and when the two monks saw them, they had meaningful smiles on their faces.
Yifeng stepped forward and asked, "Two senior brothers, please advise, is there any way to cross this river?"
The two monks were fat and thin, with golden hanging beads, one with a very large nose and a fat body, and the other with a slightly crooked mouth and a thin body, and the two were wearing black and white monk robes, looking at them coming, their eyes dripping and rolling.
After Yifeng finished saluting, the crooked-mouthed monk grinned, showed his black and yellow teeth, and said: "If you want to go over, it's very simple, we have a spirit boat given by the master, and the spirit boat can just carry two people over." ”
Yifeng hurriedly saluted and said, "Please also ask the senior brother for convenience." ”
The big-nosed monk's face trembled, and he squinted his eyes and said, "It's very convenient, as long as you two throw the Buddha card into the river." ”
Yifeng and Benqian were shocked, the importance of this amulet is self-evident.
If they are not selected and enter the top eighty, then the Buddha can use the magic circle to transmit them to the entrance of the secret realm and return safely.
If you lose the amulet, at the end of the selection, there is no teleportation circle, the warning that marks the danger also disappears, and the golden light of the stupa in the center of the secret realm also becomes once a day, if you get lost for a long time, you will have to face the endless unknown dangers in the secret realm, and the probability of breaking into the extremely dangerous trap will also be greatly increased, and life and death are unpredictable.
Yifeng stabilized his mind and asked tentatively: "I still want to invite Senior Brother, after crossing this river, will it be the center of the secret realm?" ”
The crooked-mouthed monk said: "No, but it's almost, the other side of the river is the unknown area around the center of the secret realm, and if you break through there, it will be the center of the secret realm." ”
Ben Qian was puzzled: "Then why do you want to do this? If you go over there early, won't you be able to successfully select it? at least you will return to the entrance of the secret realm safely, why spend time here?"
The crooked-mouthed monk pouted and said, "You think we don't want to, if it weren't for our lack of cultivation, Senior Brother asked us to wait here for you who came after, I ······"
The big-nosed monk glared at him, and the crooked-mouthed monk hurriedly stopped.
In fact, he was also very aggrieved in his heart, who didn't want to go over early? But he was a little scared when he thought of Senior Brother Benyuan's fierce eyes.
Senior Brother Benyuan said to them that their cultivation is too low, and they have been selected, and they will only be beaten when they go to the ring, so it is better to guard here, let the people behind them lose their Buddha cards and fall into the unknown zone, and it will be valuable to help him drag others down, and when he becomes an elder in the temple in the future, the benefits are many.
The crooked-mouthed monk didn't dare to say anything, Senior Brother Ben Yuan was the eldest disciple of the Faxiang Academy, and he was also the most proud and powerful disciple of the Fa Elder Academy, and the other disciples of the Faxiang Academy usually looked at him as the horse, and did not dare to comment more, if he didn't listen to him, his life in the Faxiang Academy would be very sad in the future.
After they met Senior Brother Benyuan in the secret realm, they had been waiting for his dispatch, and after sending him away with a spirit boat, they waited here for the others according to his words.
There have been more than a dozen people who have been thrown away by them to the black river, the resentful eyes before they went ashore, he still vividly remembers, yes, how dangerous the unknown area is, there is no Buddha card, once lost, it may be death, at this moment to lose the Buddha card, no less than to ask them to discard the most important talisman magic weapon.
Yifeng's heart moved, and he asked, "I still want to ask which place the two senior brothers are disciples?"
The crooked-mouthed monk said casually: "Faxiang Academy······ !”
With a crisp sound, the big-nosed monk slapped the crooked monk in the face, almost correcting the crooked mouth.
The big-nosed monk scolded: "Are you a stupid donkey reincarnated? Can you say anything?!"
Yifeng and Benqian thought to themselves, just with your appearance, they can find you out in half a day in Nanzong Temple.
The crooked monk had blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, and he didn't dare to speak again.
The big-nosed monk asked, "You guys can't get through it!?
Ben Qian snorted coldly and said, "What's the big deal, it's a big deal that we just fly across this river!"
The big-nosed monk sneered: "Hmph, do you want to fly? I inquired before entering the secret realm, this black river in the secret realm is very famous, as long as you accidentally fall into it, you will definitely be drowned." Even if you can swim, it can strip your soul from your body and drag it to the bottom of the river to corrode and bury, leaving you as a soulless corpse that rots in the river.
"What's more, can the river in the secret realm allow you to fly over it so easily? Have you cultivated so profoundly? Can you replenish the consumed spiritual power in time? Before you could fly to the opposite side, your spiritual power would have been exhausted and you would have fallen into the river!"
Ben Qian blushed and argued, "Then can't we go around?!"
"Don't even think about bypassing, unless you're on the other side of the secret center, but don't think too much about it now. ”
The big-nosed monk said so much, and felt that he seemed to have said too much, so he stopped talking, his face sank, and he wanted to come over and search for their Buddha cards directly.
He walked up to Ben Qian, stretched out his hand to grab her, and forced her to hand over the Buddha card, Ben Qian's palm emitted a golden light, and a palm slashed towards him.
But he didn't expect him to be prepared, turned over and took out a one-foot-long black short stick, and pumped it into Ben Qian's palm.
The golden light of Ben Qian's palm trembled violently, and she screamed in pain and retracted her hand in pain.
Yifeng's figure flashed, clenched his fists tightly, and his golden fist flashed, blasting towards the big-nosed monk.
The big-nosed monk didn't have time to react for a moment, but he felt the terrifying power contained in Yifeng's fist, and when he hit this punch, he was either killed or seriously injured!
But at this moment, a flower suddenly appeared in front of Yifeng's eyes, and a figure flashed, and he saw the emaciated body of the crooked-mouthed monk blocking in front of the big-nosed monk in an instant.
There was still blood from the corner of his mouth from the big nose monk's slap, but his eyes were surprisingly determined.
Yifeng's fist couldn't be contained, and a punch slammed into the chest of the crooked-mouthed monk, and the crooked-mouthed monk crashed into the arms of the big-nosed monk, spitting out a stream of blood from his mouth, and the two of them were unsteady on their feet, and fell backwards violently.
