Volume 1 The Seven Sects Chapter 20 The Mountaintop Heavenly Palace
In the thick clouds, Kou Shan gradually slowed down, and walked up the steps along the mountain road, and the more he went up, the more he felt the pressure increase.
But for him, it was still within the range of bearing, but he felt a little heavy in his body.
The mountain was shrouded in mist, and when he looked down, he could see nothing but the white mist, and he didn't even know how high he had climbed at this time.
After walking up a long stone staircase, a large clearing appeared under his feet, and he was looking for a step to continue up along the mountain wall when he suddenly felt a faint sound of breaking the air behind him.
He didn't think about it, he pulled out the long sword on his back and slashed back, splitting a piece of spiritual power that condensed into a needle and was dark red.
He quickly pounced in the direction of the attack, rushing to the edge of the cliff, but there was no attacker in sight, he listened carefully to the movement around him, except for the slightly wet sound of the mountain wind sliding through the treetops, there was nothing unusual.
"Already escaped?" Kou Shan couldn't figure out why the other party attacked him, but he retreated with one blow.
Kou Shan, who couldn't find the trace of the other party, had to continue to look for the stone steps to climb the mountain, the scope of this open space was not very large, he quickly found the entrance to the stone steps upward, looked back at the dense fog behind him, secretly raised his vigilance, and stepped up.
Shortly after Kou Shan left the clearing, a young man with a gloomy expression slowly walked out of the thick fog, and if Kou Shan saw this person's appearance, he would definitely recognize him at a glance as the man who had captured the girl in Nanping.
"What a vigilant fellow, I sensed him with my spiritual sense in the mountain path below, and condensed the secret method from afar, but I couldn't even kill him. ”
After he stepped into the range of clouds and mist, in order to prevent people from sneaking attack, he kept unfolding his spiritual sense, although his spiritual sense was limited here, he could also sense the surrounding range of about 100 zhang, in this cloud and mist with a visibility range of no more than three meters, 100 zhang was already quite far away.
When he found Kou Shan's traces, he gathered his spiritual power to suddenly attack, but he didn't expect this guy to react so quickly that he actually detected his attack.
"Hmph, one day you'll die ugly. There was hatred in the man's eyes.
————
Koushan continued his ascent, but was never attacked by anyone else along the way, and the other monks he occasionally met did not attack him.
"It seems that there are more reasonable people. ”
He didn't know that the people who found him couldn't sense the fluctuations of spiritual power in his body, and they all regarded him as an unfathomable figure, how could they dare to provoke him easily.
A few hours later, the sky had turned dark into the night, the clouds and mist in front of him were thinning, and the top of the mountain was already faintly visible under the starry sky.
The last mountain platform appeared in front of me, where only the last stone steps remained from the summit, and where the clouds had completely dissipated.
As soon as he stepped on the platform, his whole body suddenly lightened, and the ubiquitous pressure on the mountainside dissipated, as if he had come to another world. He came to the edge of the stone platform and looked down, only to see the sea of rolling clouds in the white moonlight, which was extremely spectacular.
He had never climbed such a high mountain, and he had never seen such a scene, and he looked at the scene in front of him in a little daze, until Ling Li's shout came from behind him.
"Idiot, have you seen enough, don't come up quickly. ”
He turned his head to look, and at the end of the stone steps, a familiar red figure beckoned to him.
He just stepped on the last stone staircase and came to Ling Li's side, and the scene at the top of the mountain made his eyes widen again-
Behind the two cupola pillars engraved with inscriptions and totems, there are continuous palace buildings, and there are even buildings floating in the air in the back area, and many magnificent buildings are entrenched on the top of this lonely peak, shrouded by stars and moonlight, like a heavenly palace.
Ling Li saw Kou Shan staring at Ling Xiaozong's appearance in a daze, although he knew that it was the first time he had seen such a scene, he still didn't feel good and said, "Don't be like a dirt bun and keep staring at it." ”
Kou Shan turned his head and asked, "Are the dumplings delicious?"
“......”
Kou Shan looked left and right, but he didn't see Han Qingling, so he asked, "Where is Han Qingling?"
Ling Li pursed her lips and said, "As soon as she went up the mountain, she was taken away by her sister." ”
Kou Shan excitedly pointed to the magnificent palace in front of him and said, "Shall we stay there tonight?"
Ling Li smiled: "What you think is beautiful, except for a few powerful sects, everyone else has to wait until tomorrow on the periphery of this mountaintop." As he spoke, he pointed to the many scattered cultivators not far away.
Although it is a little regrettable, but the open-air sitting on the ground has long been a common thing for Kou Mountain, not to mention that the scenery on the top of this mountain is also very good, with starlight and moonlight, rolling clouds, much stronger than the deep mountains and old forests.
Ling Li said at this time: "Before the martial arts have started, follow me to other places." ”
"Where to go?"
"Just follow along, guaranteed to open your eyes to this dirt bun. Ling Li had already walked forward, and he didn't look back.
Kou Shan followed suspiciously, thinking: How did I become a bun?
Half an hour later, the two of them came to the west side of the mountaintop, where a cliff stretched out from the top of the mountain and protruded into the night sky. From where the two of them were, it seemed that they were standing on the edge of the cliff, reaching out to catch the stars and the moon.
As soon as Kou Shan approached the cliff, he felt a strong wind coming, accompanied by the sound of the whistling wind, and looked down the cliff, and the sea of clouds under the cliff formed a whirlpool of thousands of sizes, as if it was stirred by some invisible force.
"It's a lot of air. From the flow of air, Kou Shan sensed that there was an extremely chaotic and powerful air flow near the cliff, and the closer he got to the edge of the cliff, the stronger the air flow became.
Ling Li's eyes flashed, but he focused on something else, and muttered, "This is one of the four elephant treasures of the Ling Xiao Sect, Gangfeng Cliff. That mountain cliff is engraved with a very clever wind gathering formation, which gathers this high-altitude and fierce wind here for the disciples to hone their physical bodies and perceptions. ”
Kou Shan looked at the cliff and said curiously: "What kind of bird can you feel when the wind blows?"
Ling Li gave him a blank look, this person always spoke so badly, she continued to observe the looming formation patterns on the mountain cliff, and no longer paid attention to Kou Shan.
Seeing that Ling Li no longer paid attention to him, Kou Shan picked up a fist-sized gray-white stone from the ground and threw it at the cliff, wanting to see how strong the wind was on it.
If it was an ordinary stone, even the weakest part of the cliff would be enough to turn it into powder. But the stone that Kou Shan threw fell off the cliff and was stronger than steel.
The stones flew up the cliff, and there was a cry of pain from the cliff, followed by a crisp sound from the cliff.
"Which villain sneak attack?!"
Under the moonlight, a figure in a fluttering green coat stood up from the cliff.
Kou Shan turned his head to look at Ling Li, only to see that she was looking at herself with a cruel expression, as if she was silently questioning--What's the matter with you?
The figure in green clothes jumped down from the cliff, green silk flew in mid-air, her skirt was flying, and a cold and pretty face was revealed under the moonlight, it was actually a young woman with a graceful posture, and she would not be more than twenty years old.
The woman fell beside them like a fluttering willow leaf, holding a green sheath sword, and her hand was resting on the hilt of the sword.
"Who threw the stone?"
