Dragon Cloud Continent Chapter 34: Tower of Babel
Looking at the broken sword on the ground, Xiao Jing didn't know why the middle-aged man did this.
"No matter how good something is, it needs to suit you. The middle-aged man said to Xiao Jing.
"Senior, I don't know who you are, is this painting equivalent to a small world, or is it all illusory?" Xiao Jing asked as he took his gaze off the broken sword on the ground.
The middle-aged man smiled at Xiao Jing when he heard this: "What is illusory, and what is real? To you, I'm just a passerby." ”
Thundered...
Without waiting for Xiao Jing to speak, suddenly the ground trembled, and on a clearing more than a hundred zhang away, a tall tower suddenly appeared, and the tower slowly drilled out of the ground, until it rushed into the sky and the earth did not stop trembling.
"Babel Tower? Could this be the Babel Tower, how is it possible, how could the Babel Tower appear in this place for no reason, no, this is not the Babel Tower, this should be just a replica, but the whole aura is too similar, why is it here?" The middle-aged man couldn't help but exclaim loudly when he saw the tower, sounding a kind of inexplicable excitement, but after a while, it turned into shock.
"Babel, what is that?" Xiao Jing obviously hadn't heard of it, and asked the middle-aged man.
"Tower of Babel, it is said that anyone who can walk all the way from the bottom of the tower to the top of the tower can directly step into the divine realm, become a true god, and get rid of the shackles of birth, old age, sickness and death, but unfortunately for some reason the Tower of Babel was destroyed, since then people have never seen the true god, and even think that the true god is just a legend, and does not really exist. The middle-aged man explained.
Although it is impossible to see the real Tower of Babel at this time, the degree of simulation is simply too high, how can it make the middle-aged man not excited.
And Xiao Jing seemed to have some sense, and unconsciously walked towards the tower, even muttering to himself, not knowing what to say.
"You can't go in, it always feels like there's something weird here. Just as Xiao Jing was about to step on the steps, the middle-aged man grabbed him.
"What happened, how did I get to the tower down?" At this time, Xiao Jing suddenly woke up, as if an inexplicable force had just controlled him.
"I don't know, there's something strange about this tower!" replied the middle-aged man with some absent-mindedness.
"If you come here, you will be safe, anyway, I don't know how to get out of here now, so it's better to go in and see what the reputation is. At this time, Xiao Jing was able to let go.
The middle-aged man paused, wanted to say something but didn't say anything, and no longer hesitated to step on the steps of the tower first, but when he walked to the door, the middle-aged man didn't walk in again.
Xiao Jing followed closely and came to the door of the tower, the door was open, as if waiting for their arrival, and a warm breath blew out from the door, which was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had felt it.
Seeing that the middle-aged man didn't mean to move, Xiao Jing didn't pay attention to it, raised his leg and stepped into the door.
Rumble...
Xiao Jing just stepped in with one foot, and suddenly felt dizzy, and then somehow arrived in the tower, Xiao Jing looked at himself and saw that he was not the location of the door, but stood in the center of the tower, everything looked very weird, Xiao Jing looked back, where was the existence of the door, and there was no middle-aged man.
"Senior, are you outside the tower" Xiao Jing couldn't help but shout.
All that was answered was an echo, and there was no reply from the middle-aged man.
The interior of the tower is not very spacious, except for a staircase leading to the upper floor at the end, there is not even any furnishings, and it is surprisingly quiet, as if the tower has no connection with the outside world.
Seeing nothing, Xiao Jing simply walked up the steps, but the next floor was still like this, and there was no difference from the layer just now, the third and fourth floors, Xiao Jing walked to the seventh floor in one breath, but there was no change, if it weren't for the fact that each floor had a downward step except for the first floor, Xiao Jing even thought that this tower was completely a labyrinth.
The eighth floor is still like this, Xiao Jing simply didn't stop, and climbed up directly, when Xiao Jing stepped on the last step to the ninth floor, he was suddenly stunned, the first eight floors were empty, not even dust, Xiao Jing had already prepared this ninth layer as well as others.
I saw that the ninth floor, just like the palace, was gorgeously decorated, and there was a layer of carpet on the ground, which was soft and soft to step on, and it was indescribably comfortable, and then there were two rows of seats next to the carpet, and a Taishi chair was placed in the middle position, and there was an old man sitting there at this time, slowly sipping the wine in the cup.
The old man didn't seem to notice Xiao Jing's arrival, and still drank one sip after another with a wine glass, as if he hadn't drunk wine for a long time, but his demeanor was quite elegant, and he looked like a pampered person.
"Senior, in Xia Xiao Jing, what kind of place is this, how can I get out of here?" Xiao Jing politely bent down towards the old man.
Jingle Bell ......
As if frightened, the cup in the old man's hand suddenly fell on the coffee table next to him, and the wine was spilled everywhere.
"I don't know how to be polite, don't you know how to knock on the door first when you come in, why are you talking so loudly, I'm not deaf!" The old man's temper was not small, and when he saw that the wine was spilled, he was almost jumping up in anger.
"It's a presumptuous, please forgive me. Xiao Jing smiled awkwardly, and couldn't help but look back, Xiao Jing was stunned again, the staircase he came up just now was gone, replaced by a wooden door, a finely carved wooden door, and the door was closed.
Even though Xiao Jing was used to seeing this kind of strange thing, it was still a little difficult to accept, he couldn't understand what kind of place this was, it was full of strange atmosphere, but he didn't seem to feel any danger.
"Hmph!" the old man saw Xiao Jing stunned, and snorted dissatisfiedly.
"I don't have any special preferences in my life, but I love wine, and I love wine like my life, and I am reluctant to waste half a drop, but I was just shocked by you, but I spilled so much, what do you say?" said the old man couldn't help but look at the wine sprinkled there, and his face was distressed.
"Please forgive me, but I don't have wine with me, please punish my seniors. Hearing the old man say this, Xiao Jing seemed to feel that he had committed some serious crime, and he didn't know how to deal with it.
"Hehe, no wine, it's okay to have blood, it just so happens that I haven't drunk human blood in many years!" The old man suddenly let out a sharp laugh, which made people sound a little creepy, and even his good demeanor just now was gone, and the whole person was full of evil spirit.
"Don't be kidding, senior, when I go out here, I will definitely find the best wine for you. Seeing this, Xiao Jing couldn't help but be vigilant.
"Go out, don't leave since you're here..."The old man suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Xiao Jing.
Fast, too fast, Xiao Jing didn't expect that this old man would suddenly attack, even if he was ready in his heart, but the old man's speed was too fast, and he didn't give Xiao Jing the slightest chance to react.
Xiao Jing saw that the old man suddenly attacked, and came up with a fatal move, and did not give himself the slightest chance to dodge, so he had to cross his arms to protect the vital place in a hurry, and the moment he came into contact with the old man, Xiao Jing only felt that his arms were in great pain, as if they were broken, and his whole body was also hit by the old man and flew up, and hit the door frame behind him with a bang.
Ahem......
This blow was really not light, Xiao Jing felt that all his internal organs were churning, extremely uncomfortable, just stabilized his body, but the old man rushed over again, every move was extremely ruthless, it seemed that Xiao Jing's life was necessary, and while making a move, there was a fried laugh in his mouth, which made people extremely uncomfortable.
This is not over, the old man did not stop because Xiao Jing was attacked, but became more and more violent, and all kinds of strange tricks continued to hit Xiao Jing's vital points. And Xiao Jing couldn't do any effective counterattack at this time except for passive defense.
Angry, Xiao Jing was really angry when he encountered such an unreasonable old man, and immediately burst into a shout, skillfully dodging the old man's moves, and instantly counterattacked with a heavy punch, this punch should not be unpleasant, not bad, but I didn't see any movement of the old man, and he dodged it very lightly.
"The kid still has some skills, but his strength is enough, but his accuracy is a little worse. The old man didn't forget to joke a few words while fighting.
But his words did not make Xiao Jing angry again, but calmed down, walking around the room with the old man, while thinking of ways to make a move.
Xiao Jing suddenly thought that when Shen Yun was fighting the demon before, he demonstrated the body method to him, although he had also done some cultivation in the body method later, but after all, he did not have a complete system, let alone really use it in battle.
"Boy, you can't get distracted in a fight, hehe..." The old man saw that Xiao Jing seemed to be distracted, and immediately found a flaw and wanted to take Xiao Jing down with one blow, but he didn't notice it, Xiao Jing smiled very imperceptibly.
Sure enough, at the same time as the old man's full strength, Xiao Jing's body suddenly stopped, followed by his legs slightly bent, his hands were round, and he actually pushed away the old man's full strength, and then the old man found that he seemed to be sticky, and with Xiao Jing's movements, he was also involved in moving, which made him startled, and raised his legs to attack Xiao Jing's lower plate, which got rid of Xiao Jing's shackles.
At this time, Xiao Jing seemed to be more and more courageous, and there was no disadvantage of a completely passive counterattack just now, and even Xiao Jing himself did not find that he seemed to have entered a realm of selflessness.
"Don't play, don't play, I didn't expect to meet a more perverted one this time, it seems that human blood can't be drunk again!" The two of you went back and forth, and after fighting for almost an hour, the old man suddenly flashed back to the Taishi chair, and said a little scoundrel, and at this time, where did he still have a ruthless and weird appearance just now, looking like an old naughty boy.
Seeing that the old man suddenly stopped fighting, Xiao Jing also stopped moving, and exhaled lightly, the state just now was simply wonderful, it was really unsatisfying, Xiao Jing could feel that if he could maintain this state for a longer time, I am afraid that his own strength would definitely be able to go to the next level.
"I really regret that I promised that old guy back then, there were a hundred people before and after, each more perverted than the other, not fun, too not fun!" The old man seemed to be very uncomfortable when he saw Xiao Jing's relaxed look.
"A hundred people, dare to ask the seniors, what the hell is going on, can you tell me?" Xiao Jing saw that the old man really didn't seem to have any more malice, so he asked.
"I can't tell you, you just need to know that everything here is a test for you, but even if it's a test for you, don't take it lightly, if you really can't beat me just now, I'll really drink your blood, hey, I haven't drunk human blood for too long, I really miss it." The old man said, and couldn't help licking his lips with his tongue, but it didn't have the evil aura just now, but looked a little naughty.
"Okay, boy, you're very good, at least I feel that you have a stronger understanding than the first ninety-nine, but where you can go and how high you can reach depends on your own creation, and the only one who can help you is yourself. Without waiting for Xiao Jing to ask again, the old man left an inexplicable word, and suddenly disappeared, and even the surrounding scene became the same as the first eight layers.
"Dare to ask the seniors' names, will we still meet?" Xiao Jing couldn't help but shout loudly when he saw that the old man had suddenly disappeared.
"Work hard, and if you can reach that height, we'll see you. The old man's voice seemed to come from a very distant place, but it seemed to be close to his ears.
Xiao Jing shook his head, didn't ask anything more, and continued to run to the next level, he faintly felt that this might have great opportunities for his future direction and development.
