Chapter 123: Entering the Abyss
The cliff in front of you can't see how wide it is, and you can't see how deep it is, and there are layers of white mist rising up from below. This underground river forms a waterfall and pours down, and it seems that below, at the very bottom of the abyss, there is still an underground river. I thought about it, how deep is this underground Penglai? It's unimaginable. At this moment, Martingale flew up, along the edge of the mountain wall above the cliff, and climbed step by step towards the entrance of the cave above.
The fierce mountain wind, unscrupulously blowing on the body of Martingale Lingzhi, watching him climb up step by step, I swallowed my saliva hard, damn it, this is too thrilling, right? But the target was already determined to be the cave above, and I had no choice but to follow in the footsteps of Martingale and climb up. To say that the only foothold on this is the corner between the cliff and the edge of the stone wall, outward is the endless underground abyss, looking inward is a steep and smooth stone wall, facing the fierce mountain wind, people climb on it, have to be frightened, every step, like walking between the two worlds of yin and yang.
But once you climb up, there is no chance to turn back, and there is no way to stop, because the further you go, the stronger the mountain wind, the cold and biting, it is easy to freeze your fingers, and once the limbs do not obey the call, you will fall down......
The entrance of the cave, from the river bank below, is about five or six zhang high, the body of the martingale is like a spirit ape, the steps are light, three or two strokes are more than zhang, five or six zhang high, for him, it is not a matter at all. Fortunately, I was assisted by a bundle of fairy ropes, and when I couldn't climb, I waved my arms to pull out the bundle ropes, wrapped around the rocks above, stopped for a while, and climbed up again. About half an hour later, I arrived at the entrance of the cave.
But seeing that Martingale Lingzhi had already sat in it leisurely and rested, and saw me panting and coming to it, Martingale Lingzhi smiled proudly: "With your small body, if you fall, I'm afraid you won't even be able to find the body, hehe!" ”
"Shut your crow's mouth!"
I glared at the martingale angrily, and then came to the cave, squatted on the ground, I gasped for breath, and then, I looked down, only to see the straight and straight stone wall, and a "woo" cold wind blowing, listening to my ears, my heart was trembling. It's not like I've never climbed a mountain, I've seen steep mountain walls both in the outside world and underground, but this place is so thrilling!
With his back against the stone wall, with his position, he could see the outline of the Xiantuo Pagoda directly opposite, and I glanced at the Xiantuo Pagoda, and then said, "This place is safe enough, right?" ”
"Humph! Even my master's old thing might not be able to find this place, and even if he could, he wouldn't have any reason to explore this place, because there was nothing he wanted here. Martingale said, turned his head to look at me, and sneered, "What? Are you scared? If you cooperate with me honestly, I guarantee that you will be fine, and what you are worried about will not happen, with me, Gu Tan will not be able to get the "Shangqing Message" no matter what! ”
I sneered, I was skeptical of what Martingale said, I believe that everything must be done on my own in the end! After resting for a while, I looked up at the Xiantuo Pagoda in the distance, thinking if Master and Senior Brother had come to the underground Penglai now? Or are you drifting in an underground river? When I think of the underground dark river, I can't help but worry, in the underground dark river, there are not only terrifying bloodthirsty turtles, but also difficult underwater ghosts, I hope that the master and the senior brother can deal with it.
All the way to this underground Penglai, every step is full of thorns, everywhere is a hurdle, every step is difficult! I didn't want to think too much about the dangerous situation that Master and they were facing, so I shook my head and asked Martingale Lingzhi, "How long do you say we will wait for the outcome of their fight?" ”
"No result!"
Who knew that Yingling Lingzhi casually said an ambiguous word, but then he said: "Didn't the battle between your two secret sects last for a thousand years? Are there any results now? And our war between good and evil has been going on since ancient times, and it will never come to fruition. Therefore, this time the battle for the treasure of the Xiantuo Pagoda, you don't want to wait for any result. But what I can tell you is that we may not have to wait too long to achieve our respective goals, or maybe, it will take a long time! ”
"What do you mean by that?"
I followed up.
Martingale thought for a moment, and said lightly: "It all depends on the Xiantuo Pagoda, if they successfully find the treasure of Zhenshan, they may soon leave the Xiantuo Pagoda and become a mess." But if it doesn't go well and they are trapped in the Xiantuo Pagoda, then, it may be a day, it may be three days, and we all have to wait patiently. Sometimes, if you want to succeed, you must endure loneliness and indifference, if you can't endure these sufferings, then you can only be an ordinary person honestly! ”
After saying the last sentence, Martingale Lingzhi slowly closed his eyes, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate. I was stunned, his last half of the sentence, maybe it was for himself, for the inheritance of the mantle of the old demon Dao, he didn't know how long he waited to wait for such a good opportunity. His city is no worse than the old Dao of the Xuan Demon! In this kind of person, you can't see what is good and what is positive, only the existence of interests, and his eyes and hearts are full of differences between interests.
If I stay with this kind of person for a long time, I am really worried that I will become a person like him, constantly calculating this and that, living like that, I think it will be very tiring!
I was lazily lying on the stone wall, but when I was about to close my eyes, I opened them suddenly, because I seemed to see a strange light in the inside of the cave. And at this moment, Martingale Lingzhi also opened his eyes, and I hurriedly asked, "You also saw it?" ”
"Nonsense! You have eyes, I have eyes, and although I have my eyes closed, the strange light still makes me aware of it instantly! As he spoke, Martingale stood up slowly like me, and looked at the inside of the mysterious cave in unison. Just now, I was just staring at the Xiantuo Pagoda, but I haven't paid much attention to the scene in this cave since I came up. Martingale Lingzhi slowly walked inside, and said in a deep voice: "If you don't want to die, stay where you are, I'll go in and have a look!" ”
Naturally, I wouldn't be stupid enough to listen to him completely, and the white light flashed just now, and I suspected that there were probably treasures hidden deep inside this cave. And how could Martingale Lingzhi be so kind to let me stay where I am, it would be ridiculous if I was afraid that something would happen to me, completely because I was afraid that I would compete with him for the treasures inside. It is not surprising to think that this kind of mysterious cave blessed land, even if there is any treasure hidden, maybe there was a high road to live here in ancient times, and the Xiantuo Pagoda can live in people, let alone other places.
Underground Penglai, it is impossible for only Xuan Chan Zhenren to discover that there are so many high roads in ancient times, maybe there are many high ways of cultivation in this underground Penglai retreat and cultivation. I didn't listen to the words of the martingale, and walked forward slowly. Martingale turned his head to look at me, hesitated, but didn't say anything, he should understand that I was not his subordinate, let alone listen to his dispatch, so we had nothing to say many times.
When Martingale and I came to the interior of the cave, we were all stunned, only to see that the scenery inside was extremely dim, as if it was filled with a thick dark atmosphere, and if we went further inside, we would not see anything. I frowned, took a closer look at the black qi in front of me, and then murmured, "Could it be that these dark qi are from ghosts and evil things?" There are demons in this place?! ”
"You can see clearly!"
Martingale Lingzhi looked at me like an idiot, and then pointed to the condensed yin and black qi and said: "These yin and black qi are condensed and cannot be dispersed, and there is no trace of yin wind, what does this mean?" It shows that this is not yin, but ...... Demonic aura! This kind of place, how can it be that ordinary ghosts and evil things can enter, if there really is, it will only be the kind of ghosts and demons that have been cultivated for thousands of years, or ghosts and ghosts, otherwise ordinary ghosts and demons will not even be able to cross the underground dark river when they come in. Anyway, the demonic aura in this is very heavy, and we now have two choices, one, stay at the exit of the cave honestly and wait for news from the Xiantuo Pagoda, and second, continue to explore inside. Which one do you choose? ”
"Do you still need to guess?"
I smiled strangely, but I laughed knowingly when I saw that the martingale was following suit. With the flash of white light just now, I am afraid that if I want to stop the pace of Martingale Lingzhi's continued exploration, it is absolutely impossible, he will not stop, or even turn back, and I will not lag behind. As the saying goes, if there are treasures and don't take them, it is a fool, if there are really any rare treasures, they will definitely not all fall into the hands of such evil ways as Martingale Lingzhi, no matter what it is, as a righteous descendant, I have to fight with him.
Undoubtedly, he continued to explore deeper, and Martingale stopped talking, and immediately walked in with me. The demonic aura in front of him seemed to be static, and it didn't even move, and it was even like a real mist, flowing very slowly, at least it couldn't be discerned by the naked eye. It's strange here, what kind of ability can completely fix these demonic qi?
"Ahh
I didn't know that when Martingale and I just stepped into the place shrouded by demonic aura, we only felt that our feet were suddenly suspended in the air, and immediately after, I and Martingale Lingzhi both kicked and picked, and screamed, and fell into the unknown abyss together. I never imagined that the deepest part of this cave would be suspended in the air, and if I were given another chance to choose, I would rather stay at the exit of the cave honestly...... "I regret it so much!" ”
