Chapter 329: The Mystery That Plagues Senior Brother Xu
In the second year that Senior Brother Xu guarded here, it was early autumn, and the hot weather gradually became cooler, and now it was the middle of the night, when it was time to fall asleep, Senior Brother Xu woke up from meditation, his eyes were blank, and he walked to the steps of the sky.
It was late at night, and the half-curved moon hung high in the sky, and the moonlight with a hint of chill in the bright light was like a bright street lamp, pouring on the steps to the sky. Suddenly, the staircase seems to be transformed into a stage for people to perform, with bright spotlights and darkness around it, as if it were filled with countless audiences ready to watch the performance, as if only one corner (naturally the horn of the performance) can reveal a wonderful stage play in its entirety.
The steps to the sky are close in front of him, Senior Brother Ran Xu was surprised to have a trace of clarity in his mind, his blurred eyes gradually focused, and he saw that one step ahead was the steps to the sky, and he hurriedly stopped, not daring to take a step forward, the door rules in the door were deeply imprinted in his heart, and he would never dare to violate it easily.
Looking at the 999 stone steps that were close at hand and reflecting the bright moonlight, his slightly pale eyebrows twisted together, and his heart was full of doubts, he was obviously meditating and practicing, how could he come here without half a sense of it, could it be sleepwalking? But that was absolutely impossible, he had never heard anyone say that he had sleepwalking.
In an instant, a cool breeze hit behind him, Senior Brother Xu's heart was stunned, and his whole body trembled, and the cultivation of the fifth layer of Huadan couldn't resist the cold air that suddenly rose behind him, and the cold chill quickly rushed into his brain from the soles of his feet, and just when he wanted to return to his senses, his body couldn't move, as if he had been immobilized.
Senior Brother Xu was taken aback, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly mobilized his dantian Danqi, wanting to break through the shackles that bound him (the shackles that came from nowhere), before he made a move, and the next moment, he felt the changes in his body, his face turned pale in an instant, and the meridians in his entire body were like blocked sewers, and his spiritual power could not be transported at all, and he who couldn't mobilize half of his spiritual power, what was the difference between him and ordinary people.
Racking his brains, Senior Brother Xu's slightly elliptical brain was working frantically, searching for a way to crack it.
In a moment, Senior Brother Xu's body shook, his body straightened in an instant, and the height of the whole person increased a lot in an instant, a pair of dull eyes opened widely, and he turned his head with great difficulty, looking at the faint footprints on his left shoulder, at the same time, he even felt that the storage bag seemed to have been turned over at that moment, but his current state could not be checked at all.
"Who is it?" Senior Brother Xu couldn't speak, and shouted in his heart, but no one heard him, and naturally no one responded, leaving him alone in confusion, mixed with an expression of irritability and anger.
Angry and angry, he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, fainted, and was furious at the disciples who were guarding the mountain gate that night, why was there an enemy invasion, but there was no warning at all?
Now, Senior Brother Xu is stuck in a state where he can't move, and only his head can move from side to side with difficulty.
Suddenly, a dazzling golden light lit up from the front, and even though Senior Brother Xu was only half facing the Ascending Steps, the dazzling golden light still illuminated his eyes, and he couldn't open them.
"Tick Tick"
The sound of crisp footsteps came into his ears, Senior Brother Xu was stunned for a while, and then his face was full of horror, he thought that the person who broke into the Xuanwu Pavilion in the middle of the night was just passing by himself, but now, it seems that he has stopped, and the person who can immobilize himself in the air, his cultivation is by no means something he can compete with.
Isn't it true that his current appearance is no different from the fish on the chopping board? panicked, frightened, anxiously trying to move his body and flee from here, but as if he had been immobilized, this idea was simply whimsical.
"Tick Tick"
There were a few crisp and crisp footsteps, but listening to the sound, the person seemed to be far away from him, which made Senior Brother Xu breathe a sigh of relief, smelling some fishy smell coming from his lower body, Senior Brother Xu's face turned red and smiled, but it felt good to look forward to hope again.
After thinking about it, Senior Brother Xu's face changed again, "Could it be that person is climbing the steps to the sky?" and then recalled the golden light that bloomed in the sky just now, isn't it exactly the phenomenon that will occur when the steps of climbing to the sky are opened!
He never expected that during the period when he took over the position of ascending to the heavens, there would be such a dereliction of duty, if he was blamed from above, he would not be able to escape the blame, and the bitter water in his heart was gushing like a long river and a sea.
But there is one thing, whether it is now or in the future, whenever Senior Brother Xu recalls the night attack on Xuanwu Pavilion, just to climb the ladder of the advanced cultivator, he shakes his head and is puzzled.
The role of the ascending step is only for the disciples in the refining period to quench the body, only a solid and solid pedestal, in order to build a higher superstructure, it is to ascend the ladder to have the 'ascending to the sky' said, it is in order to be able to obtain higher achievements in the future, just like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, only when the dragon gate is crossed, can you be qualified to become a dragon.
However, every opening of the Ascending Ladder requires a huge amount of resources, and the Xuanwu Pavilion simply can't afford such a large expense, so the Ascending Ladder is as helpless as a chicken rib for the Xuanwu Pavilion, but because it is passed down by the ancestral master, it is not easy to abandon it. It is only in recent years that it has been considered as one of the introductory assessments.
It's just that that person's cultivation is so profound, and the Heavenly Ladder has long been of no use to him, so what is the purpose of his climbing the Heavenly Ladder? And this is also the mystery that has plagued Senior Brother Xu to this day.
From the sound of 'tick tock', to Senior Brother Xu's difficult turn to look at the steps to the sky, only a dozen breaths have passed, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is fleeting, and that person is already standing on the eight hundred and fifty stone steps with his head held high at this moment, and the bright and flawless moonlight reflects on him, who is already long
On her, will her
His shadow stretched even longer.
It's just that between the 850th and 851st floors is like the farthest moat in the world, and in the blink of an eye, the man stopped his steps, no, more precisely, he should have stopped.
The man had his back to Senior Brother Xu, and Senior Brother Xu couldn't guess what was going on by observing his facial expressions, but this seemingly distant moat didn't slow him down for long, and he soon climbed again, and then came to a standstill again, and so on.
The sky had begun to glow as white as a fish's maw, the cool night was fading, and the man was only one step away from reaching the top.
After staring for several hours, Senior Brother Xu couldn't close his round eyes full of scarlet bloodshots, and in addition, many expressions such as shock, confusion, and helplessness were also mixed in with each other.
There were so many expressions in Senior Brother Xu's eyes, all because of the change in the momentum of this person who attacked Xuanwu Pavilion at night.
At the beginning, when Senior Brother Xu looked at that person, that person was already standing on the 850th stone step, and the distance between the two could not make Senior Brother Xu really feel the powerful aura coming from that person's body.
However, in the next few hours, the man's breath continued to change, like the notes on the piano, starting from the do, and continuing to advance to the following notes, and now, the man's momentum seemed to have reached the peak (which is also the 'west' in the metaphor), and was preparing to cross the last step.
"Is this about to step out?" Senior Brother Xu stared at the man's raised left foot, and unconsciously said nervously.
"Click" left foot fell fiercely, and in a moment's effort, the person's figure was immediately overwhelmed by half, as if a 10,000-pound sledgehammer appeared out of thin air, and smashed down on the person's body, turning the person into a man who had to hunch his waist to maintain a standing posture.
At the same moment, the momentum emanating from the man's body became more condensed by the sledgehammer that appeared out of thin air, as if loose sand and gravel mixed with water were inseparable into a solid stone.
From such a distance, Senior Brother Xu could even hear the man's gnashing of teeth, although he couldn't empathize, but just by looking at it with the naked eye, Senior Brother Xu couldn't hold on, but the man hadn't rested for long, and the only remaining right foot was lifted up, and he landed steadily on the ninety-ninth stone step.
This time, the hammer still fell, but the man's body was not knocked down, but gradually rose and returned to its original state.
"Boom!" a roar, but it rose from the bottom of the heart, without source and root, and appeared spontaneously.
"Hey, the cultivation of the state of mind is still not enough! If you can start from the six hundred layers, you will be able to sharpen your energy and state of mind, and you will definitely be able to complete the master's task. The man muttered to himself, Senior Brother Xu didn't hear what he said, but after seeing him reach the top, his body was covered with infinite golden light, tea time, and after the golden light dissipated, the man left in the sky in a dashing manner, and the shackles on Senior Brother Xu were suddenly opened.
