Chapter 77: Seven-Story Pagoda
"Are you ready?" The man in white asked.
Su Moyan nodded, she had already made up her mind, even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of her, she would break through.
The white-clothed boy cast a spell to open the magic circle, and a seven-story pagoda appeared in front of him, and the top of the pagoda was written with three big characters "Temple of Light", and the top of the tower flashed with golden light, just like the ** sacred pagoda, the tower was surrounded by clouds and mist, like the fairy temple of the fairy family.
He pointed to a pillar of incense lit in the incense burner and said, "You only have time for one stick of incense, if you can reach the topmost temple of light, you can crack the magic circle, or you can comprehend the magic trick of practicing the gate of time." ”
A white light flashed in front of Su Moyan's eyes, and she was already on the first floor of the pagoda.
The first layer was easy, there were only two Cerberus guarding the door, and Su Mo Rou effortlessly used a spell to solve these two Cerberus, so he went to the second and third floors, and cast the Shadow Flame to deal with the harpy guarding the tower.
When you reach the fourth floor, you start clearing the difficult mode, and a vast sea appears in front of you, and there is only a lonely island above the sea, and on that isolated island, a merman is singing a beautiful ancient song.
The waves crashed against the island, and the merman sang softly with his back to Su Moyan, his long golden hair fluttering in the wind.
It looks like a beautiful picture in front of you, but it hides great danger.
Su Mo Yan flew to the island, the merman's singing stopped abruptly, and he slowly turned around, showing a fierce light, revealing two rows of sharp fangs, staring at Su Mo Yan viciously, like a cannibal yaksha in the deep sea, and a dark iron halberd was conjured in his hand.
When he saw Su Moyan coming, he stabbed at her with a halberd, she turned sideways to avoid the shark's attack, the shark spat foam, and the foam slowly expanded, turning into transparent water droplets, countless water droplets floated in the air, collided with each other, and then exploded together, blooming pink slime.
Once you get on those pink mucus, it will be painful and numb, as if you have been pricked by tens of thousands of needles.
Su Moyan cautiously dodged the dark iron halberd in the merman's hand, and on the other hand, he had to dodge the pink slime that exploded in the air, and when he was tired of coping, he only heard the voice of the man in white coming to his ears: "You only have half a pillar of incense left." ”
In an instant, countless droplets of water exploded, and the isolated island was full of pink slime, emitting an unpleasant smell, and soon there was no place to stand.
Su Morou gritted her teeth and decided to break the axe and sink the boat, she flew into the air, her left arm touched the splash of pink slime, her arm was like a pinprick, bursts of pain struck, her eyebrows frowned, she held back the pain, Bei Yan bit her lower lip tightly, and held the staff of streamer in her right hand, only in this way could she get close to the merman who was foaming at the mouth.
The staff of light bloomed with a dazzling bright light, and the merman was hit by the powerful mana of the staff, screamed, and fell into the sea.
Su Morou's left arm was injured, and he felt that thousands of needles were pierced on his arm, which was painful and numb.
She came to the fifth floor of the pagoda, only to see hundreds of humanoid bird-headed monsters entrenched in the sky, and she cast the spell of Shadow Flame on the monsters above. Dozens of dark flames struck those demon beasts at once.
The dozens of shadow flames caused more than a hundred demon beasts in the air to fly towards her, they waved their sharp wings like blades, and those demon beasts attacked her from all directions, and her face and body were cut by the hard wings of the demon beasts, and blood flowed out of the wounds, dripping all over the ground.
She gritted her teeth, waved the staff of light in her hand, resisted those fierce demon beasts, she cast the Shadow Flame spell, as she cast more spells, the more mana surged towards the more than 100 demon beasts like a huge wave, conjuring up hundreds of shadow clones, she tried her best to shoot down the last demon beast, she was exhausted, due to excessive consumption of mana, she was so weak that she couldn't stand upright.
The man in white reminded again: "There are still two hours before the incense is about to burn out." ”
She was covered in blood, her face was pale with pain, her arms were even more painful and numb, she was covered in wounds, and with every step, the wounds cracked, and the pain was unbearable.
She had only gone through a few battles, she was exhausted, and she had only reached the fifth floor, and there were still two floors, and the higher she went, the more difficult it became, and she didn't know if she would be able to hold out until the end.
"No, I can't give up, I can't back down. If what the man in white said is true, if I am Chu Yao, then I must refine the gate of time, and only by working together with five generals can I save the people of Xuanguo. I can do it. Su Moyan endured the pain and stepped up to the sixth floor step by step.
When she came to the sixth floor, she saw a white expanse under her feet, each step seemed to be walking on the clouds, her feet were covered with white clouds, and there were seven golden feathers floating on the vast clouds, she looked up to touch the smooth and soft feathers, and the moment she touched them, the feathers avoided her touch like a shy girl.
The white clouds pulled away from her feet, she stepped on the air, and fell down in mid-air, only the seven feathers floated in front of her eyes, she was scared into a cold sweat, and there was an abyss under her feet, she hurriedly flew to the nearest feather in a hurry, and the feathers could carry her in mid-air.
I saw that the feather flew very fast and disorderly, and there was an abyss under her, and the feather carried her to fly at great speed, and she was about to vomit, but the feather suddenly turned a sharp turn in mid-air, and she stepped on the air and fell off the feather.
In a panic, she closed her eyes and grabbed another feather and stopped falling.
She squinted and saw that she was holding the feather firmly in the air, and then she opened her eyes, and the feather flew in the air for a while, and was about to throw her down.
With the lesson of Fang Cai, she took the opportunity to fly and leap onto another feather, and in this way she flew on all seven feathers for a while, and the seven feathers finally gathered together and became a golden spirit bird, which carried her for a while and landed steadily on the seventh floor.
She raised her eyes and saw that she had arrived in the Temple of Light, the white-clothed boy had been waiting in the hall for a long time, seeing that she was covered with injuries and her legs were trembling, but she was still not afraid, looking at herself with a firm face, he had a little admiration for her, and said: "I haven't seen her for a few months, but Miss Su is impressive." ”
The white-clothed boy pulled out five booklets from the wooden shelf behind him, the first with the blessing of the gods, the second with the blessing of the gods, the third with the sacred ring, the fourth with the hymn of light, and the last with the gate of time.
The white-clothed man handed the five booklets to Su Moyan's hand and said, "You need to memorize these mental methods within an hour, and this is the last test for you." ”
Su Moyan has the ability to never forget, these thin booklets are not difficult for her, and she has written down all the contents of the booklet when the incense in the incense burner is burned out.
The boy in white taught her all those spells, and she learned the light spells one by one, and said to her: "You have learned the light spell and the shadow spell, you can fuse the two spells according to what is written in the booklet to see if you can open the gate of time." ”
Su Moyan cast the spell according to the mental method written in the booklet, tried many times but was unsuccessful, only to see the man in white shook his head, sighed and said: "I have taught you the method, but I still can't understand it, it is really a natural waste material, I must practice diligently in the future, remember." ”
The day gradually dawned, Su Moyan woke up from the dream, remembering everything that happened in the dream, she still clearly remembered the mental methods of the light spells recorded in the five books, she cast spells according to those mental spells, and was surprised to find that she had learned all the light spells, she was busy casting spells to summon the gate of time, but she could not succeed.
Last night, Mu Qingyun saw that Su Moyan was so sad, so he didn't mention leaving Xuanguo, and came to the side hall early this morning to ask her to have dinner together, taking the opportunity to persuade her to leave Xuanguo with him.
Su Mo Yan also happened to be confused about the Gate of Cultivation Time and wanted to ask him, they each had their own concerns, and after eating, Mu Qingyun put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and said, "Yan'er." ”
Su Moyan also had a question about spells, so he spoke, "Qingyun." ”
They looked at each other and smiled, and Mu Qingyun said, "Is there something wrong with Yan'er?" ”
Su Moyan smiled: "It's better for Qingyun to say it first." ”
Mu Qingyun saw that Su Moyun was only wearing a thin coat today, so he took off his cloak and draped it on her, and said: "Although the wind and snow have stopped today, it is still extremely cold outside the house. ”
After Mu Qingyun finished speaking, he held her hand again, and said softly: "Why are Yan'er's hands so cold, I will cover Yan'er, and it will be warm after a while." After saying that, he held her hands again, put them to his mouth, and exhaled a hot breath.
Su Morou's face turned red, and he hurriedly pulled out his hands, but Mu Qingyun held them hard, he looked at her affectionately, and said gently: "Yan'er and I will go back to Jingguo together, okay?" ”
Su Moyan had long known his identity as the second prince of Jingguo, knew that he would return to Jingguo sooner or later, and knew his intentions, but her heart had already been given to Xuan Huaiyu, how could she deceive herself and deceive him.
If what the man in white said was right, if she was Chu Yao, then she would not be able to leave Xuanguo, she would complete her mission and work together with the five generals to save the people of Xuanguo.
She pulled out her hands vigorously and said to Mu Qingyun, "Qingyun, I'm sorry, I can't go back to Jingguo with you. ”
