Chapter 44: The Coiling Dragon Abyss
At the end of the passage is a towering stone platform, in front of the platform is a pitch-black abyss that cannot be seen with five fingers, about 30 zhang apart from the huge abyss, only nine long stone pillars are scattered above this abyss, the bottom of the abyss is not visible, only the sound of turbulent water can be heard, it seems to be like a yellow spring underground.
"Master Ou, what's the solution?" Yan Zhen didn't know what to do, so he naturally pinned his hopes on Ou Dongping.
"The distance between each stone pillar in this level is quite long, and it seems to test the skill of the interlocutor. But that seems like too much simplification. Ou Dongping stood in front of the abyss, holding his chin with his right hand, puzzled.
"You, go up and try it." Yan Jun pointed to an old man in his sixties in the scattered sect and ordered.
"Lord Yan, the old man's skills are limited, I'm afraid I can't jump over." Being named by Yan Jun, the old man suddenly sweated profusely and said in a trembling voice.
"Don't touch my grandfather, let me come." A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy with a resolute face appeared in front of the old man.
"Silly boy, let grandpa do it." A pair of dry old hands pressed the young man's shoulder, the old man looked resolute, turned his head to look at the snow fairy not far away, and begged: "Snow palm order, the people in the rivers and lakes say that you are the most kind-hearted, I am willing to go to the test, if I am unfortunate to be killed, please protect my grandson all the way." This child has been suffering from a life since he was a child, and he is terminally ill, and I am afraid that he will not live to be 20 years old. This time, the little old man dared to bring him over in the hope of finding a magic medicine in this ancient temple to save him. Before he finished speaking, the old man was already in tears.
The snow fairy is a kind-hearted woman after all, knowing that it is quite unwise to give Yan Zhen face to the old man at this time, but her heart softened, her eyes couldn't help but be a little moist, and she couldn't help asking: "Ou Lao, is there no other way?" ”
Ou Dongping smiled bitterly for a while, and said helplessly: "This level seems easy, but it may be difficult, and finding someone to try it out is indeed the most effective way." ”
Seeing that the Snow Fairy had the intention of protecting the old and the young, the other fifteen scattered people couldn't help but take a few steps back, for fear that Yan Jun would let go of the old and the young and find them to come out to test the level.
Yan Jun, the lord of the city in vain, has always said nothing in the rivers and lakes, and when he saw that he was swept away by the junior of the snow fairy, his face suddenly showed displeasure, and he sneered: "The Snow Palm Order is really a compassionate Bodhisattva, but it is only for a while, and there will be only a lot more dangers in the future, and similar situations will recur, how many can the Snow Master protect by then?" Of course, the martial arts of the Snow Master are profound, if you are willing to come forward to try it out in person, this seat has no opinion. ”
Nadro, the lord of the Da Luo Palace, looked at the abyss and frowned and pondered, and the Ximen Wuwei of the Ximen family looked at the excitement with an expressionless face, as if it was none of his business.
Li Tiantu's heart jumped suddenly for no reason, how could he have a premonition that this stupid woman really wanted to go up and take risks by herself.
Fortunately, before the snow fairy could react, Ou Dongping suddenly flashed, stopped in front of the snow fairy, and said urgently: "Master, don't do it." This level may seem simple, but there must be a mystery inside. The first level of the temple is already the Netherworld Ghost Fire, and this second level will only be a little more mysterious than the Ghost Fire, please think twice! ”
Ou Dongping's worries are not unreasonable, this second level is not a maze, only this way, the heavenly machine compass is no longer useful, only to take the oldest method, to test the level with people. But this person should never be the head of the Xuanji Sect, the Snow Fairy.
Under the endless argument, the old man and the young man named by Yan Zhen supported each other and walked to the side of the abyss in a panic, the old man turned around and smiled miserably at the snow fairy, and said gratefully: "The head of the snow is benevolent and virtuous, the little old man feels inexhaustible, my grandson please, or I will go up first." The old man looked resolute, and after speaking, he suddenly pushed the young man to the side of the Xuanji Gate, raised his feet and was about to jump up.
"Grandpa..."The young man who was shaken away by the old man's internal force was full of tears, and his expression was desperate.
It's just that, at the critical moment, a fair-skinned and thin hand suddenly put on the old man's shoulder, pulling the old man's body back that was already tilted in mid-air, which was the Li Tiantu who had quietly touched the edge of the abyss.
"Old man, if you go up like this, you will definitely die, or I will take it."
Li Tiantu cautiously looked at the nine huge coiling dragon stone pillars in front of him that were deep in this bottomless abyss, and his voice was extremely calm, sounding without a trace of nervousness.
In fact, while everyone was arguing, Li Tiantu had been observing the scene in front of him for a long time. It was strange that this bottomless abyss gave him a sense of danger and familiarity at the same time, though he still did not understand where this dangerous familiarity came from.
Nine stout dragon stone pillars that neither of them could hug with their open arms could hug were in a well-proportioned curve, running from one end of the abyss to the other side. The dragon carving skill on the side of the stone pillar is very high, and it can almost be fake, under the shroud of the black and clear mist, it seems that nine giant dragons hovering above the stone pillar, making the momentum of soaring clouds and wanting to soar into the sky.
The whole scene of the abyss is majestic and full of danger and mystery, which makes people feel refreshed and a little more afraid.
Li Tiantu visually inspected it, although the distance between any two stone pillars is far, but it is very even, after all, his cultivation foundation is still there, and the true qi of the heavenly way is not triggered in the dantian, although it is not possible to talk about stepping on the snow without a trace, but ordinary people in the rivers and lakes may not have their own light skills even if they use their true qi. This time, it shouldn't be difficult for him to cross the abyss and cross to the first stone pillar.
It's just that in what form the danger that brings him a sense of familiarity appears, Li Tiantu really doesn't know. Therefore, although his facial expression was calm and abnormal, he did not have a trace of confidence in his heart.
The reason why he stood up and took the initiative to break through this daunting Panlong Abyss was by no means to support the hero, but he was moved by the affection of the old man and the young man, and at that moment he softened, that's all. Li Tiantu said in his heart, I don't know if there is anyone in the world who is so stupid.
Yes, Li Tiantu has the most tragic scene in his life, there is always such a softest place in his heart, once he is poked, even if he faces the danger of life and death, he will move forward without regrets.
"Are you really going?" The snow fairy didn't know whether she was willing or unwilling to let Li Tiantu go up at this moment. This man who peeked at his ice jade body, if he died in an accident this time, it would not be in line with her original intention.
But she had to admit that since she knew this man, although he felt very ordinary and ordinary, Li Tiantu's humble and casual demeanor was really remarkable and impeccable. Because of the hot springs, he usually targets him, but he never seems to care. She had to admit that Li Tiantu had a charismatic personality, and her feelings for him were slowly getting better subtly, and she had unconsciously regarded him as her own.
Of course, Li Tiantu didn't know the emotional changes in the snow fairy's heart at this time, if he knew, he should have an unexpected joy.
Turning back and glancing at the snow fairy deeply, Li Tiantu said lightly: "There should always be someone to pass." At the same time, he glanced at everyone around him, and many people had a sense of shame in their eyes when they were swept by Li Tiantu.
With a leap, Li Tiantu barely flew to the first Panlong Stone Pillar.
