Chapter 426: The Top of the Sacred Mountain
Zhang Lingxi and the others are still digging dragon scales.
Zhang Ming and the dragon slave took Xue Mingfei in the direction of the Black Dragon Cemetery. In this Black Dragon Ridge, no one can tell the direction, and only the dragon slave can find a route to the Dragon Emperor's tomb. Led by the dragon slave, the two quickly arrived at the place where they had been before.
When Cao Ying saw Zhang Ming appear, her eyes lit up, and she was pleasantly surprised: "The master is back." ”
"Brother." Zhang Lingxi was holding a large piece of dragon scales in his hand, and he was about to scream, but he found that Xue Mingfei was followed by a few people, so he hurriedly put the dragon scales away.
It's just that there are too many dragon scales on the ground.
One of Xue Mingfei's subordinates looked at the dragon scales, and said with surprise in his eyes: "There are so many black crystals." ”
"The black crystals here are all ours." Zhang Lingxi hurriedly spoke.
Xue Mingfei smiled and said, "Miss Zhang, don't worry, I'm not here to snatch your black crystals." However, with so many black crystals here, you Ancestral Dragon Palace may not be able to use them if you take them back. Instead, we can discuss that I can exchange some of the temple's resources for some of your black crystals. ”
Trade?
Zhang Lingxi looked at Zhang Ming.
Zhang Ming responded: "Let's talk about this later." Now the important thing is that we have to get out alive. Snow Maiden, this time there are a hundred barbarians coming in, and these hundred people should all obey the barbarian royal family. Those people just now are just a part of the barbarians, and now that the barbarians know your approximate location, with the addition of the girl from the Leng family, I'm afraid you will be very dangerous. ”
"I understand." Xue Mingfei nodded slightly, but didn't say much.
Zhang Ming hesitated: "Snow Maiden, I think it's better for us to find a way to avoid the barbarians in the next few days." Especially away from the Black Dragon Ridge, even, we should be active at the edge of Tianshen Mountain at this time, and when the time is almost up, we should go out as soon as possible. ”
This time, Zhang Ming has gained a lot when he comes in, and he has almost found everything he wants.
There is not only dragon blood, but also dragon crystals, dragon scales, and dragon eggs.
The goal was reached, and Zhang Ming didn't need to take too many risks, especially with a few people.
Xue Mingfei was silent for a moment before she whispered, "I'm sorry, Zhang Gongzi, I have to go somewhere." I'll take care of the rest by myself. As for my master, if I can't get out alive, I'll have someone tell her that you've done your best. ”
Zhang Ming was stunned and asked rhetorically, "Where are you going?" ”
"The top of Mount Kinabalu." Xue Mingfei replied softly.
The top of Mount Kinabalu!
Zhang Ming looked up at the peak hidden in the mist in the distance, and that peak was the main peak of Tianshen Mountain, also known as the top of Shenshan Mountain. On the side, the dragon slave pulled Zhang Ming, pointed to the peak, and then shook his head vigorously, obviously saying that he couldn't go to that mountain.
"Senior, is there anything on the top of the sacred mountain?" Zhang Ming asked curiously.
A trace of fear appeared in the dragon slave's eyes, and he opened his mouth slightly and said, "Death, death." ”
Death?
The dragon slave couldn't say too long words.
Zhang Ming could only look at Xue Mingfei and asked, "Snow Girl, why did you go to the top of the sacred mountain?" It should be the place where the poisonous fog is heaviest. If you want to go, it can be dangerous. ”
"I have to go." Xue Mingfei was silent for a moment before she spoke: "This is originally a secret, but it is not impossible to say. There is a shrine on the top of the sacred mountain, and as long as you can step into the shrine, you will have the opportunity to obtain the exercises inside. My master has consulted a practice in it, and all the saints of the past generations have gone to the Divine Palace to comprehend the exercises, and if I want to inherit the position of the next saint, I must enter the Divine Palace to comprehend the exercises, otherwise I will probably lose my qualifications. ”
The top of the sacred mountain actually has something to do with the position of the Holy Maiden?
Zhang Ming frowned lightly and said: "Then to put it this way, all of your saints have been to the top of the sacred mountain, and the top of the sacred mountain is also familiar with the road, and there will not be too much danger." ”
"Nope." Xue Mingfei shook his head and said, "There is only one road to the top of the sacred mountain, and that road is called the road of innocence. Once a person sets foot on that path, every step he takes, he will be disturbed by the demons in his heart, and if he is not careful, he will go mad. That road, a total of 100 steps, every time the Tianshen Mountain is opened, there are people who go back to the top of the sacred mountain, but there are very few who can really step on the road of innocence unharmed. Even, many times, not one. And the women of our Snow Clan Temple, because they have been cultivating since they were children and are not disturbed by the world, they are far beyond ordinary people in their state of mind, so the saints of the past generations can set foot on it. And the road of innocence can be regarded as an experience of the state of mind of each of us who is about to become a saint. ”
Zhang Ming nodded slightly, but smiled noncommittally.
Of course, Xue Mingfei didn't understand what this smile meant.
Live a beautiful life, free from the intrusion of the world.
Maybe Xue Mingfei is like this in front of her, but the current saint is not unaffected by the world, she even has children, obviously this innocent road has nothing to do with whether there is worldly intrusion or not. Or, maybe the state of mind of the last saint is indeed far from being comparable to ordinary people, otherwise it is impossible to pass through the path of innocence.
The top of Mount Kinabalu.
It does seem to be a good place.
Zhang Lingxi was curious on the side: "Brother, should we go up and have a look?" ”
"Let's see. But without my permission, you can't go the way of nothingness. Zhang Ming said.
Zhang Lingxi said urgently: "Brother, why? ”
"I'm going crazy." Zhang Ming responded: "Do you know what will happen if you go crazy? At worst, the cultivation will be damaged, and at the worst, the sanity will be lost. According to your current Heart Sutra, if this path of innocence is as legendary, then you will not be able to pass it at all. Since you can't get through, what are you going to do up there? ”
Zhang Lingxi scratched his head helplessly and said, "That's a pity." ”
"It's not like I can't really let go." Zhang Ming spoke again: "At least this unvain road, you have to see what it looks like to know the result, so I won't let you go up, don't go on it." I'll let you on, and you can go. ”
Zhang Lingxi hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay." Brother, listen to you. ”
On the one hand, it is to protect Xue Mingfei, and on the other hand, Zhang Ming is also to be able to see the top of the sacred mountain.
It took two hours.
A mountain has almost been dug up, and all the dragon scales have been dug up.
Zhang Ming led people to follow Xue Mingfei in the direction of the top of the sacred mountain.
"Zhang Gongzi, I have something to remind you." Xue Mingfei walked on the ground on the road and said, "On the top of the sacred mountain, we will inevitably meet the people of the barbarians. ”
Zhang Ming was mentally prepared and said, "It's okay. I'm going this time, more so that I can see the so-called shrine. The barbarians are also going to kill me, and Snow Maiden's affairs are also a matter of effort, so Snow Maiden doesn't have to feel that she owes me anything. ”
"Zhang Gongzi's life-saving grace is still beyond repayment." Xue Mingfei spoke.
The group marched for most of the day.
It was already dark outside that it was impossible to distinguish day and night, and the poisonous fog in Tianshen Mountain was still very thick, and everyone could only take the antidote pill to resist the poisonous fog.
In a dimly lit environment.
Long Nu pulled Zhang Ming, pointed to Tianshen Mountain, and finally shook his head and said, "Don't go." Death. ”
"Seniors. Since we're here, we just want to go up and have a look. Zhang Ming said to the dragon slave: "Senior, if you wait for me at the bottom of the mountain, I will go up and take a look and come back." ”
Long Nu still shook his head, looked at a circle of people, pointed at Zhang Ming, pointed at Zhang Lingxi, pointed at himself, and said, "We, don't go." They can. ”
This!
Zhang Ming understood.
On the top of the sacred mountain, Zhang Ming, Zhang Lingxi, and the dragon slave are not allowed to go, but others seem to be able to.
Zhang Ming frowned lightly and asked rhetorically: "Senior, you mean that because of our bloodline, we can't go?" ”
The dragon slave nodded vigorously, looked up at the top of the mountain and said, "My lord doesn't like slaves, blame us." ”
My lord?
Zhang Ming was surprised: "You mean, there is an adult here?" ”
"Your Excellency." The dragon slave nodded vigorously.
At the top of Mount Kinabalu, there is a living adult. And the one that can make the dragon slave so respectful is the dragon. In the eyes of the dragon slave, he is the slave of the dragon, and Zhang Ming has dragon blood, and in the consciousness of the dragon slave, several people have equal status.
