Chapter 546: You're going to cross the river
In the fourth episode of Kaba, Long Aotian chose the "Road of War Heaven and Battlefield" in "I Say Goodbye to Three Paths", and said: "My great desire is rampant", and then his teacher gave him three words-
Know, judge, act.
After establishing the cross practice system, Fang Tian looked back again and suddenly realized that the "consciousness" and "heart" in the cross system were born from these three words.
At that moment, Fang Tian suddenly realized that it turned out that the establishment of any system came from the branches and leaves.
It's really "There is no road in this world, and when you go too much, it becomes a road." ”
Gather sand into a tower, gather water into a sea.
The true meaning of power turns out to be really just a drop of water.
At this time, the stories of Kaspersky's previous episodes gently flowed in his consciousness, and after a while, Fang Tian spoke softly. And it was that soft speech, but in a way that ordinary people and even middle and low-level cultivators could not understand, it sounded at the same time in this Thousand Miles Domain.
The voice sounded, and it was clear for thousands of miles.
There was only one voice, gently wafting between heaven and earth.
With a flick of the old man's sleeves, Long Aotian lost all consciousness. And when he regained consciousness again, he found himself standing in a desolate and lonely wilderness, the heavens and the earth were vast, and the wind rolled up from the distant junction of heaven and earth, bringing all kinds of terrible roars. ”
At this time, it was already dusk, and the remnant sun was like blood, illuminating the western sky red. And in that red, a little bit of the black of the night is spreading. ”
"Soon, it's going to be night. ”
Long Aotian turned around and looked around between the vast world and the world, the desolation, the loneliness, the extreme emptiness, actually made his body rotate. Involuntarily staggered. ”
"'Where is this?, why is there no one else?' Long Aotian said to himself, and in the end, he even shouted loudly without regard to his manners, he was afraid that if he didn't say something, he would go crazy if he stayed in this land that seemed to be desolate for tens of thousands of years. ”
Fang Tian's voice sounded lightly and faintly, and somehow, the entire Thousand Miles Domain seemed to have become the place where the dragon Aotian was located with his words. Thousands of cultivators, at this moment, all felt an indescribable desolation and emptiness, rushing to their faces, and then penetrating into their hearts.
"'Young man. Why are you here, are you lost?' when Long Aotian lost his demeanor. An old woman's voice with a hoarse voice sounded in Long Aotian's ears. ”
"The voice was extremely hoarse and unpleasant. Long Aotian had never heard such a bad sound in his life, but at this time, the hoarse voice entered his ears, and Long Aotian suddenly felt as if he had heard the most beautiful sound in heaven and earth. ”
"It turns out that I'm not alone!"
The dragon jumped up and down like the wind. Ran in the direction from which the voice had just come. ”
It didn't take long for him to see an old woman in black sitting under an old tree that had been dry for an unknown number of years. He asked, 'Senior, where is this?'"
"'Young man, it's strange that you've come here, and you don't know where this is?' The old woman laughed loudly when she heard Long Aotian's words, and her voice was already extremely unpleasant, and now she laughed even more harshly than she could describe. ”
"But Long Aotian didn't care about these at all at this time, and just said, 'Senior, where is this place?'"
"The old woman finally stopped laughing harshly, stretched out a hand that was as dry as the roots of an old tree, and pointed ahead, 'Oh, young man, do you see the river ahead?'"
Following the direction pointed by the old woman, Long Aotian turned around and looked, only to see that far, far ahead, there was indeed a river, a river that was so wide that it could not be seen at all. It's just that I don't know if it's because of the evening or some other reason, Long Aotian only saw that the water in the river seemed to be black, and it seemed to be flowing silently, which looked so weird that it made people feel cold. ”
"'Senior, what kind of river is that, why is it so weird?' Long Aotian turned around and asked the old woman. ”
"'That's the river you're going to cross. The old woman let out a shrill laugh again. ”
"'Why should I cross the river?' Long Aotian asked inexplicably. ”
"'Don't you see, young man, that it's getting dark?' said the old woman. ”
"'What if it's dark?' I'm not afraid of the dark. Long Aotian said, in fact, if he was really not afraid, he would not say so. I don't know what this place is, it's very weird, it makes him feel chills in his heart, and he can't imagine what it will be like here after dark. ”
With Fang Tian's narration, a strange atmosphere also flowed in this thousand-mile domain, and everyone had a feeling of being breathless.
And Fang Tian also stopped when he said this, and after a while, he began to continue again.
"'It's dark, you're going to die!' said the old woman, "no one has ever been able to spend the night here until the sun rises again." So, you have to cross the river, cross the river, and survive. ””
"'Huh?' Long Aotian said in shock: "You can't even see the side of the river, how can you cross it?"
"'Come to think of it, it's been too long since anyone has been here. Don't you see, young man, that there is no road here, and where you stand there was a road, and now it is long buried in the grass!" said the old woman, and after a while, she added, 'By the way, I remembered that there was a bridge at the end of the road, on the river. What is the name of the bridge? Alas, it's been many, many years have passed, and I can't remember it! Let's call it the 'Bridge of Life and Death.'"
"'Bridge of Life and Death?' Long Aotian asked strangely. ”
"'Yes, this head dies, that head lives, so it is called the 'Bridge of Life and Death', and the people who cross the bridge, nine out of ten are half dead, so it is also called the 'Bridge of Life and Death'. Don't you think it's a nice name, young man?' ”
"'What are you doing here, old man, aren't you just the river?' Long Aotian listened to the old woman's words, and somehow, his heart became more and more cold, so he asked. ”
"'If you can't cross the river, you'll know what I'm doing when it's dark!' said the woman, laughing again, 'but, young man, I sell books here before it gets dark, and everyone who comes here, young and old, can buy books from me. ’”
"'Books, senior, what books do you have?' Long Aotian didn't dare to think about it, just asked. ”
"'Well, it's all here, young man, see for yourself. The old woman stretched out her hand and patted the old tree against which she was leaning, and it grew like leaves, and many books grew from it. ”
"Long Aotian looked up, and saw that all those books had strange names, such as "The Old Story of the Flood Wilderness", "The Story of the Open Heaven", "The Romance of the Gods", "Lost in Eternity" or something, from the top to the bottom, a total of dozens of books, Long Aotian quickly finished reading the titles, and then asked the old woman: 'Old senior, what is the "Romance of the Gods" about?'"
"'Young man, I can't sue you for this, you have to buy it, see for yourself, you can do it. The old woman said. ”
"'Then how much do these books cost?' Long Aotian asked, thinking to himself, these books are probably very expensive, and I don't know if I can afford them. ”
"'It's not expensive, it's not expensive, you only need a copper plate, and you can buy a copy. Which one do you want, young man?' said the old woman. ”
"Hearing this, Long Aotian was overjoyed, and said in his heart that a copper plate can buy a copy, so only one gold coin is needed to buy all these books, so he said loudly: 'I want all these books!'"
"'Where's your money, young man?' said the old woman. ”
Long Aotian put his hand in his pocket, but immediately froze, now, there was nothing in his pocket, and the only gold coin he had had already thrown away when he chose to 'cut off the crowd'. ”
Long Aotian regretted it in his heart at this time, but he was not very reconciled, and said to the old woman with a glimmer of hope: "Senior, it's only a few copper plates, can I take the book first, and then give you the money when I come back next time?"
"Hearing Long Aotian's words, the old woman raised her head and laughed again, and laughed for a long time before she said: 'Young man, what kind of place do you think this is, you can come and leave when you want?
Long Aotian was helpless, glanced at the tree again, memorized the names of dozens of books from top to bottom, and then said to the old woman: 'Old man, then I'll go, will you still be here next time?'"
This time, the old woman just laughed, but did not answer. ”
Long Aotian had no choice but to give up, bowed to her, then turned around, and walked in the direction of the river according to the old woman's instructions just now. ”
After walking for a long time, Long Aotian suddenly heard the old woman just now singing in a strange tone: "
"'The bridge of life and death, the bridge of life and death, a few people have walked a long way. ’”
"'The bridge of life and death, the bridge of life and death, nine out of ten people who come. ’”
"'The bridge of life and death, the bridge of life and death, the dry bones under the bridge are gone. ’”
"'The bridge of life and death, the bridge of life and death, how many dead souls are calling. ’”
The old woman's hoarse voice kept coming, but it became more and more ethereal, as if it had been blown away by the wind, and she barely finished listening to the fourth sentence, and when the rest reached her ears, it was already completely blurred. Long Aotian couldn't tell the difference at all, and as he hurried, he muttered in his heart: 'What a strange place, such a strange person!'" (To be continued......)
