Chapter 207: The Ninth Layer Jiao Palace
At this moment, the most touching person is probably Zhang Xuan's predecessor, after all, he has memories that belong to this place and old friends who belong here. But the deceased friend has passed away, how can the living be safe? Senior Zhang Xuan walked to the front of the big garden with a complicated face, bent down and pinched a pinch of dried charred black pollen, and then Senior Zhang Xuan took out a pure white handkerchief from his arms and wrapped the pinch of charred black pollen. After a long time, Zhang Xuan's predecessor whispered: "Maybe I owe you, when I return home, I will bury you under my roof, and we will practice together in the future, and we can never be separated." ”
Master silently glanced at Zhang Xuan's senior, and then looked at me suspiciously, I was about to tell Zhang Xuan's senior and Hua Lingzi's emotional entanglement, but Master took the first step to speak: "Clean up, let's enter the last layer of the cliff immediately!" After saying that, Master turned around and walked away, I opened my mouth, then nodded, and acknowledged, Master didn't seem to have any interest in the world's children's affections, and he didn't even bother to listen.
I packed my luggage here, and Senior Zhang Xuan also walked slowly, and said seriously: "Ergou, I'm going to say goodbye to you." As he spoke, Senior Zhang Xuan solemnly hugged his fists and saluted.
"Senior Zhang! But you, can't that ghost cultivator of yours not find it yet? Aren't you looking for it? Now that I've found my master, I can help you find that ghost cultivator, and besides, my master will help you too! Saying this, I hurriedly looked at the master, and desperately glanced at the master, hoping that the master could respond, to be honest, I really didn't expect to be separated from Zhang Xuan's predecessors so suddenly at this moment.
Senior Zhang Xuan smiled with relief and said, "That ghost cultivator's anger has almost been dissolved by me, but I practiced alone and felt lonely, so I refused to let it go." It wasn't until this moment that I realized that things in the world have their own laws of development, and if you force yourself to reverse the laws of nature, you will be rewarded by nature. Alas, I accompanied you to this eighth-layer Jiao Palace, but I was actually tired. Now that you have found your Master, I can rest assured. Ergou, there is no feast in the world, the fate is gathered, the fate is scattered, we cultivators, we should not be persistent. ”
After that, Zhang Xuan's predecessor didn't wait for me to say anything, he turned around and saluted the master with a fist, and finally gave me a fist salute. Master and I responded with our fists clenched. Then, I stared in a daze at the back of Zhang Xuan's predecessor turning away, and disappeared from my sight little by little. Zhang Xuan's predecessor just left, all the way to the eighth layer of Jiaodian, his care for me, his care for me, and even had a few life-saving graces for me, but all this, before I could repay him, he just left.
In my heart, Zhang Xuan's predecessors have become my elders, almost like my master, and they are the people I respect the most. Reluctant, deeply reluctant. I suddenly stretched out my hand to keep it, but unfortunately the master grabbed my wrist and pressed my raised hand down again, and then, the master said lightly: "What Zhang Daoyou said, do you understand what Ergou said?" His task has already been completed, but he is bound by his inner attachment, and now he is completely let go, so why do you have to keep him? ”
"Uh......"
I scratched the back of my head, thinking about what Zhang Xuan's predecessor said, what natural laws seem to have nothing to do with everything here! I was stunned for a moment, and in the end, I couldn't help but ask Master: "Master, some of Zhang Xuan's predecessors understood what they said, but some ...... For example, what kind of natural laws do I always feel that they have nothing to do with the topic itself......"
Master shook his head with a wry smile and said, "You will understand in the future, when you reach Zhang Daoyou's realm, your vision will also reach the level of his, and at that time, what you see will not be the slightest bit in front of you." But between the subtle ends, you can see the root of the avenue of heaven and earth, this is the real enlightenment, Ergou, your road is still very long! Dropping these words, the master turned around and walked towards the exit of the Jiao Hall on the eighth floor.
I stood there for a long time, why did Master understand the words that I could understand, but I couldn't? After hesitating for a long time, I hurriedly caught up with the master.
Out of the eighth floor of the Jiao Palace, around the corner, the master stood there quietly, I walked forward quickly, looked at it, and suddenly frightened my legs weak. I saw that between the eighth layer of Jiao Hall and the last layer of Jiao Palace, where was there any passage, it turned out to be ...... It turned out to be an extremely steep stone wall, and when you looked down, it was pitch black, and there was no end in sight. Swallowing hard, I asked Master in a trembling voice, "Master, did your old man climb up from this steep stone wall when he came up from the Cutting Cliff?" ”
"What? Are you scared? The master turned his head to look at me, and then said, "Go down for the teacher first, you look at the foothold of the teacher everywhere, and then slowly follow it." But be careful, this stone wall is really steep! As soon as he finished speaking, Master turned and jumped down, grabbed the protruding rock on the top of the stone wall with both hands, and finally looked at me again, and Master didn't say anything more, but slid down little by little.
Seeing Master fall down so hard, I didn't know if I could do it, if my fingers slipped, or my feet slipped, the consequences could be imagined. But now I'm already riding a tiger, and even if I don't want to go down, I have to catch the ducks on the shelves. Seeing that Master had fallen to a depth of five or six feet, I hurriedly turned around, carefully grasped the rock wall, and after stepping on it hard, I slid down little by little.
Just down to the distance of three or four zhang, I coldly looked up at the top, and then looked down at the bottom, I have to say, this, this is too scary, the top seems to be as far as the moat, difficult to cross, and below, it seems to be like a bottomless abyss, difficult to land. Master, Master, you old man is really good at finding things to do, and I am speechless to go wherever there is danger.
"Don't be cranky!" Master's voice suddenly came from below, and then, between the empty cliffs, it echoed endlessly: "Don't look east and west, pay attention to the foothold, and hold on tightly!" Hearing this, I wanted to respond, but I kept swallowing my saliva and gave up. There was a lot of sweat on my forehead, and the cold sweat on my palms seemed to lubricate the rock I was holding.
As a last resort, I had to slow down the speed of the fall. But doing so was even more dangerous, and it was difficult to descend five or six feet deep, and I could already clearly feel a cold breath that was slapping my back unscrupulously. Trembling slightly, I gritted my teeth and slid down little by little. If it goes on like this, I don't know when it will be the end.
What's more, Master didn't tell me how deep this stone wall was, and it was pitch black underneath, so I couldn't see it low at all. Even if I opened my eyes to heaven, I could only see a distance of more than ten zhang. But Master's figure seemed to stop at a distance of seven or eight feet from me, and seemed to be waiting for me. I slid down little by little. But just after a kilometer of distance, I suddenly realized that the rock that my fingers were grasping was slippery and trying to get out of my grasp.
"Huh?" I screamed in horror, and suddenly, my body leaned back violently, and then, suddenly, my feet slipped, and my whole body fell heavily, and at the same time, I screamed and shouted, "Master! ”
When I landed in front of Master in an instant, Master actually held me up, but I could clearly hear a crisp cracking sound coming from the rock under Master's feet. At this moment, Master's face is flushed, and it seems that he has used his greatest strength, if my weight and impact force are greater, I am afraid that Master will not be able to bear it. As soon as I stabilized my figure, I looked in front of me sweating profusely and grabbed the protruding rock on the stone wall, so that Master's hand was instantly withdrawn.
Immediately after, the master's body changed positions to the side lightly, and the rock he had just stepped on was silently broken, falling into the bottomless abyss. Looking at that thrilling scene, I really pinched a cold sweat for the master, and even more for myself, if the master hadn't supported me in time just now, I am afraid that I would have fallen into the bottom of the abyss now and turned into a mass of flesh.
"Thank you, Master." I looked at Master with a guilty face.
"Don't talk nonsense! Be careful! Master frowned, and continued to move down little by little, this time I was more cautious, and every step I took was accurate to the route left by Master. And he didn't dare to let go of his hands anymore. But the height of this stone wall is really unimaginable, it is so slow, almost half an hour, about thirty zhang deep, I can finally vaguely see the location of the last layer of the cliff.
That, it was really a strange place, a huge stone, like a ghostly axe, was inserted across the steep stone wall, presumably that was what the master called the Jiaojiao Cliff, right? However, when I looked down at the Jiaojiao Cliff, it was pitch black again, and I didn't know how deep this underground cliff was. I cautiously descended for about two quarters of an hour before I saw Master jump off the cliff, and I quickly slid down to Master's position, and I also jumped.
The feeling of finally stepping on a solid cliff is beyond words. I even want to lie on this cliff and kiss it, as if everything in this solid place is so kind!
