Chapter 9 The Bridge of Living
"Sansheng Bridge, one life is an insect, two lives are pawns, and three lives are dragons. All life and life are freedom. ”
At the head of the Sansheng Bridge, the simple and vicissitudes of life are engraved with several big characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, and a strong breath of freedom is coming. Xiao Yi stood in front of the monument, as if he saw that hundreds of millions of years ago, there was a heroic and uninhibited monk who was singing all the way to pursue freedom.
"What is freedom, is freedom an unrestrained hero, a tyrannical son, or a dignitary with power?"
Not only Xiao Yi was like this, but the other teenagers were puzzled and amazed by the mysterious vicissitudes of the Sansheng Bridge from a distance.
Sansheng Bridge is located on a small lake on the first layer of Wuji Mountain, the lake is rippling, the breeze blows slowly, and the green mountains and green trees move. It can be said that there is a lake in the mountain, and the lake is surrounded by mountains.
But the strange thing is that the scenery on both sides of the bridgehead of Sansheng Bridge is completely different, the bridge head bank is spring, the flowers and plants are flourishing, lush and lush, and the bridge end bank is winter, snow-capped and boundless.
From a distance, it looks like a strong crossbow galloping on the battlefield, full of murderous aura, and when you get closer, it looks more like a crescent moon with a soft glow.
The winding Sansheng Bridge crosses the lake close to the water, and the heat continues to rise from the lake, glowing with dazzling silver light, as if the bridge and water are connected into one, like a rainbow in the sky.
"The Sunshine Bridge is the last level of this test. The rules are very simple, the first 10,000 testers to come out of the Sansheng Bridge are the new disciples of this sect, and the rest are eliminated. The old man reminded everyone that as soon as you enter the Sansheng Bridge, there are strange things everywhere. Remember, remember. Zhang Keqin's melodious voice remembered again, and then gave an order, and the final test began.
100,000 testers were ready to go to the bridge, and many teenagers rushed forward for fear of falling behind.
"Brother Xiaoyi, let's go quickly, don't delay. Cui Renming was also full of curiosity, urging Xiao Yi, who had been standing in front of the stone tablet.
"Don't worry, I always feel that this inscription has a great effect on our customs clearance. Xiao Yi stared at the stone monument with both eyes, and he still had no clue until most of the crowd poured into the Sansheng Bridge. Rubbing his sour eyes, he said lightly, "Let's go, let's go and break through." For things that can't be thought of, Xiao Yi won't keep drilling the horns, he likes to pursue the freedom of the heart casually.
On the Sansheng Bridge, 100,000 teenagers gathered at the head of the bridge and ran briskly towards the end of the bridge. Strangely, the bridge seems to be only about ten meters wide, but it doesn't seem crowded at the moment. Obviously, the teenagers were running and walking with their eyes fixed on the end of the bridge, but when they looked down from the sky, they spread forward in a huge fan shape.
"Zhu Lao, the ten people you selected are the best choice in terms of qualifications and foundation, and they are also considered Tianjiao among their peers, it seems that Zhu Lao has done his homework in advance. Yuwen Taiqi stood with his hands in his hands, and the corners of his mouth outlined a faint smile.
The sect master smiled, this third stage assesses the state of mind, comprehension and soul power, but it is difficult to see these things in a short period of time. It's a bit of luck, otherwise the old man wouldn't have lost to the sect master nine times in a row, maybe there will be an inconspicuous kid this time who happens to have all three. Zhu Tianqing smiled faintly, although the selected people were all famous families, but whether he won or not, he was not very sure in his heart.
The show has finally been staged, and the best thing about the sect event is the third stage test, which is also the most suspenseful.
The Sansheng Bridge, as the name suggests, is divided into three sections: front, middle and back. A period of life, three stages of three lives, only the enlightened can come out. Otherwise, there is no external force to rescue, and they can only sink into endless illusions, forever spinning in the same place.
This is the terrible thing about the Sansheng Bridge, whether it is an ordinary mortal or a martial artist monk who has cultivated to a high level, even if it is a legend, if you enter it, you will fall into the fantasy of being fake and real. Those who are a little weaker in mood and those who lack understanding will indulge in it and forget themselves.
The Wuji Sect took this three-life bridge as the last pass, just to assess the understanding and state of mind of the future disciples. Because of cultivation, one cultivation and two cultivation, "cultivation" is still in front of the word "refining". In addition to refining the body and strengthening the body, it is more important to cultivate the mind and soul. Only with a good state of mind and understanding, and a strong soul, can we fly higher and go further.
Xiao Yi stood at the head of the bridge, and as far as the eye could see, the Sansheng Bridge was foggy and misty, and he couldn't see the front clearly. Take the first step steadily.
Wow –
The heavens and the earth rotated, and the next moment, a blue sea appeared in front of them, and a few seagulls hovered in the air did not make a cheerful call.
Little Don, a fisherman, lives in a small village by the sea.
Don Jr. was a happy and contented fisherman, and although his parents died early and he was alone, he was able to support himself every day from sunrise to sunset.
He is a simple and kind young man, and he takes the initiative to help anyone who has any difficulties at home. After a long time, the villagers are accustomed to it, and they like to call him when there is anything to do. Every time he didn't care, he happily agreed.
On this day, Xiao Tang went out to sea to fish as usual.
Crash.
Don's thick arm quickly retracted the fishing net, and when he opened it, there was nothing but some shell corals. Today's luck is not good, and he hasn't caught a big fish for a long time, and Xiao Tang can't help but be a little annoyed.
Looking at the sinking sunset, Xiao Tang said secretly: "It's not too early, cast the net three more times, if you haven't yet, you can only go home empty-handed today." ”
The first time the net was cast, and a moment later the net was closed, and there was none.
The second time it still didn't.
The third time, Xiao Tang cast his net deeper and farther with hope, estimated that the time was up, and then dragged the fishing net to recover. The fishing net shook in his hand, and it was heavy, and Xiao Tang hurriedly withdrew the fishing net. When I opened it, there were still a few shells scattered around, and there was not a single big fish.
Annoyed, he threw the fishing net on the board, and a loud "bang" startled Xiao Tang, who was still annoyed just now.
"What's the matter, why is it so loud, isn't it just a few shells?" Xiao Tang secretly muttered to himself, and then thought again, "No, it was very heavy when I closed the net just now, and it can't be just a few shells." ”
At this time, Xiao Tang quickly opened the fishing net and searched carefully.
Sure enough, in the corner of a patched fishing net, a small fish with a blue glow was about to break free from the net. Xiao Tang held the fish in his hand and looked at it carefully.
This fish is very strange, the size of a palm, but with Xiao Tang's strong and powerful arms, he can only hold it with the help of waist strength. The small fish has a total of seven golden tails and emits a strange blue light.
"Strange, what kind of fish is this, how I have never seen or heard of it. Xiao Tang muttered to himself, and he couldn't recognize it after watching it for a long time.
"This son, please let go of the slave and maid, and the slave and maid are grateful. Xiao Yu suddenly opened his mouth to speak.
When did Xiao Tang, a common man, see this kind of thing, he had never heard of it, he was so frightened that his hands trembled, and the little fish fell down.
The little fish kept struggling on the board of the boat with foam, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't jump into the water.
"What kind of fish are you, what are you called?" Xiao Tang couldn't bear to watch Xiao Yu keep struggling, and boldly stepped forward to ask.
"I'm a seven-colored blue shellfish, it's okay for Childe to call me Xiaobei, and ask Childe to send me back to the sea, I'm grateful. Xiao Yu begged, tears as if they were about to fall.
The kind-hearted Xiao Tang didn't think about it, and picked up Xiaobei with both hands to send him back to the sea.
As the sun set, Don Jr. rowed home in a small boat and found nothing.
The next morning, Don woke up and was dazzled by a large box of glittering gold and silver jewelry beside his bed. On closer inspection, there is a note on top of the jewelry.
Xiao Tang took it and looked at it, and there were a few words written on it: "Thank you for the benefactor's life-saving grace, a little wealth, Wanwang benefactor smiles, and Xiaobei respects." ”
Since then, Xiao Tang has lived a rich life, and he no longer needs to sleep in the open and fish. If a family in the village is in need of money, he has contributed generously and generously. Slowly, it was rumored in the village that Xiao Tang had made a windfall and was very rich.
One day, the second girl of Da Niu's family at the head of the village was seriously ill, and Da Niu had no money to invite Lang Zhong, so she knocked on the door of Xiao Tang's house in the middle of the night and asked Xiao Tang for help.
Without saying a word, Xiao Tang took out two gold ingots from the treasure chest under the bed, handed them to Da Niu, and braved the heavy rain to send the second girl to Lang Zhong's house.
Soon, Erniu's illness was cured. But the next day, Xiao Tang did not welcome thanks, but ushered in Da Niu with a village of villagers to ask Xiao Tang for treasures.
Although Xiao Tang is honest and honest, he is not stupid, he neither stole nor robbed this treasure Xiao Bei thanked him for giving it, so he naturally refused.
The villagers forgot Xiao Tang's kindness to them on weekdays, and the big cow took the lead in brandishing farm tools to knock Xiao Tang to the ground, crossed the door of Xiao Tang's house, and moved out of the treasure chest, and the villagers rushed up to grab a good light.
At night, with a wounded heart and full of resentment, Xiao Tang left the place where he had lived for more than twenty years, and walked aimlessly.
He was thirsty, tired, hungry, and wounded, and finally collapsed when he couldn't hold it anymore.
When he woke up, he learned that he had been saved by an evil monk. Seeing that he had some qualifications, the monk saved his life, took him back to his house, and taught him alchemy and cultivation.
The monk did not really teach him, but drove him to enslave him. Teaching him alchemy is to help the monks to help, and teaching him to cultivate is to improve his efficiency in doing things.
Xiao Tang was beaten almost every day, and the monk who was slow to learn to whip him, and even beat him when he was in a bad mood. Anyway, the monk carried a leather whip with him, and he crackled and whipped at Xiao Tang at every turn.
Xiao Tang often adds new injuries when the old injuries are not good, the scars are layer by layer, and the skin of the whole body is not good.
But Xiao Tang gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, his heart was already full of monstrous hatred.
He hates heaven and earth, hates the injustice of heaven, and hates good people for not being rewarded. He hated the monks who tortured him, and even more hated the villagers he had helped for beating him and robbing him of his treasures.
One day, the opportunity finally came, and the monk said that he would dig out hundreds of living human hearts for alchemy. So Don Jr. took the monk to the small village where he had lived.
The monk was demonic, killing the entire village and digging out ninety-nine bright red hearts.
Look at the familiar figures, wailing under the monks. The thrill of revenge made Xiao Tang's eyes red, and his originally honest face became distorted.
The monk counted, and there was still a living heart left. At this time, the second girl appeared at the entrance of the village, and she had just returned from out of town. The monk lunged at him and grabbed him, about to dig out the last of his heart.
The second girl struggled powerlessly, looking at Xiao Tang in front of her with teary eyes.
The face that had become distorted and arrogant because of the revenge was stunned when he met the eyes of the second girl, it was a complicated look, and the initial joy and then the shock, sadness, disappointment and other emotions were all contained in the eyes of that glance.
Xiao Tang suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and swung his knife towards the monk. The monk was caught off guard, and his move was fatal. In fact, Xiao Tang's talent is really high, and he has learned a skill in just a few years, but he has always been afraid to make a move by the monk's obscenity.
Xiao Tang rescued Erniu, and Erniu's words made him stunned on the spot.
"Little Brother Tang, I'm looking for you so hard. ”
It turned out that since she recovered from her illness, she heard that her father Da Niu took the whole village to rob Xiao Tang's treasure and beat him severely, causing Xiao Tang to run away from home and run out like crazy to find it. It was a few years in a flash, and I heard that my father was seriously ill and rushed back to the village, but I didn't expect to encounter this scene.
Xiao Tang was like an electric shock, a cold heart gradually melted, it turned out that there are still people in this world who are thinking about me, thinking about me, and caring about me, it turns out that I have not been abandoned by the whole world.
Xiao Tang suddenly raised his knife - killed himself, and a round head fell to the ground, blood splattered everywhere.
Slash the demon with one sword, break the hatred with one sword, the old hatred and new hatred, and be reborn in the afterlife.
Click.
Xiao Yi took a step, this is not an ordinary step, this step means that he has walked out of the first section of the Sansheng Bridge, and as far as the eye can see, countless teenagers are lost in the illusion and cannot extricate themselves. Some swing their knives wildly, some whip themselves, some howl wildly, and some ......
On the contrary, he was the first tester to walk out of the first section of the Sansheng Bridge.
