Chapter Twenty-Six: The Crossing of Blood and Souls
However, Xu Xiaojing naturally didn't know what was happening, but when the voice sounded, he seemed to feel the Zichen Sword in his body tremble slightly, and then there was no movement, Xu Xiaojing thought it was his own illusion, so he ignored it.
The three of them walked all the way, and the first two places were marked as dangerous areas, but several people did not find any dangerous places, and the journey was smooth and smooth. But the next place they were going to was the Blood Soul Ferry, which was standard as extremely dangerous, and several people couldn't help but raise their vigilance a little.
As they walked, they noticed that the color of the land in front of them was getting darker and darker, showing a dark red, and the smell of blood wafted through the air.
After about half an hour or so of walking again, until the ground beneath their feet had turned completely blood-red, a cave appeared in front of them, and a stone tablet stood next to it. The three of them stepped forward, only to see the four big characters "Blood Soul Ferry" written on the stone tablet, and a few lines of small words attached to it: "Once you enter the Yellow Spring, you will pass through the Nine Shadows, and the Blood Soul Ferry will not look back." After a lifetime in the past and this life, don't worry about the cycle of life and death. ”
The three of them were a little confused, and finally Xu Xiaojing gritted her teeth and took the lead into the cave, while Lan Qing and Bai Bai followed behind Xu Xiaojing left and right, and the three of them were holding a thunder bead in their hands in case of emergency.
When I walked into the cave, I found that there was only a stone bridge in front of me, and below the stone bridge was a river of blood flowing here, and on the opposite side of the stone bridge was a black and red flower, but there was not a single leaf on this flower. Xu Xiaojing looked at this flower and remembered a legend she had heard on the earth: "The flowers on the other side, the flowers bloom on the other side, the leaves do not see the flowers, the flowers do not see the leaves, the flowers and leaves are never seen, and life is intertwined." ”
"This is the flower on the other side, then this bridge is the Nai He Bridge, and the river flowing below here is the Lechuan River. Xu Xiaojing's heart became uneasy, this kind of thing that only existed in ancient legends really appeared in front of him. Xu Xiaojing's heart at this time was full of mixed feelings, including curiosity, fear, panic, and uneasiness.
I have to say that it is by no means out of thin air that this Blood Soul Ferry can be marked with an extremely dangerous mark. However, compared to others, this place is actually more of a creation, although one step into the abyss, but if you walk through, your own soul and will will also be refined, which will also be of great benefit to future cultivation.
Xu Xiaojing looked at Lan Qing and Bai Bai beside the voice, and told them the details of the situation in front of them.
"That's the case, it's up to you to decide whether to step on it or not. Xu Xiaojing put away her usual joking expression and said with a serious expression.
Lan Qing didn't hesitate to take Xu Xiaojing's arm, looked up at Xu Xiaojing gently, and said, "Where you are, I'll be there." ”
Xu Xiaojing looked at the day when she was still hesitating, but she didn't urge, after all, this is a major matter related to life.
Xu Xiaojing looked at Bai Bai, only to see Bai Bai's fists clenched, and his eyes also changed from the initial struggle and hesitation to slowly turned into decisiveness and resoluteness.
Xu Xiaojing just turned around and said to the two: "No matter what, don't turn back, I'll wait for you in front." With that, he turned around and stepped onto the stone bridge.
The moment Xu Xiaojing's feet stepped on the stone bridge, the scenery in front of him immediately changed.
The scene that appeared in front of him at this time was when he was just in elementary school. At that time, the family was poor, and his father went out to work and took him to study outside, and at this time there was his mother's most affectionate cry: "Xiaojing ......".
Xu Xiaojing knew that this was an illusion, but she still had the urge to turn back, and Xu Xiaojing finally persevered.
However, this is not the end, but just the beginning. With Xu Xiaojing's steps, various scenes appeared in front of Xu Xiaojing's eyes, the ignorance in junior high school, the reprimand of the teacher, the youth in high school, the light call of his first girlfriend, the righteousness in college, and the call of his roommates. The scenes are so familiar and real, even if Xu Xiaojing clearly knows that these are fake, he still wants to turn back and look back at his most beloved, beloved and dear people.
Xu Xiaojing restrained the impulses and desires in her heart, bit the tip of her tongue, and made herself slightly sober with a tingling pain. Xu Xiaojing didn't stop and took another step.
And what appeared in front of him this time was the scene where he was hit by a meteor and his mother called behind him, this time Xu Xiaojing couldn't restrain it anymore, this was the despair between life and death, he wanted to look at his mother again before he died.
Just when Xu Xiaojing was about to turn back, suddenly the Zichen Sword in his body shook slightly, and a purple light appeared in Xu Xiaojing's eyes. Xu Xiaojing suddenly felt clear, and all kinds of illusions in front of her disappeared in an instant.
Xu Xiaojing opened his eyes, and tears had already soaked his clothes. And at this time, he saw that he was only one step away from the bridge. Xu Xiaojing did not hesitate, and took the last step, but with this step, there was no illusion.
Xu Xiaojing got off the bridge, but found that Lan Qing was already waiting for her at the other end of the bridge. Xu Xiaojing couldn't help but be a little shocked, but he clearly knew how difficult the test of the stone bridge was.
"Qing'er, how did you get here, how did you do it so quickly?" Xu Xiaojing's tone was incredible.
I only heard Lan Qing laugh and said to Xu Xiaojing in a glutinous voice: "Come over, Xiaoqing thought about Brother Xiaojing in her heart, and Brother Xiaojing said to wait for me in front, then I will come over directly." Who knew that Brother Xiaojing walked so slowly, not only did he fall behind me, but he even cried his nose."
Xu Xiaojing immediately jumped up when she heard this: "Who do you say is crying nose, you are crying nose." How could someone as powerful as your little brother Jing cry his nose, it was just sand in his eyes just now. In order to fool the past, Xu Xiaojing had to come up with this extremely old-fashioned excuse.
"By the way, what about the day?" Xu Xiaojing had to divert from the topic in order to spare it.
"It's still up there. Lan Qing's eyes showed a worried look.
Xu Xiaojing looked back and saw that he was standing in the middle of the stone bridge at this time, his whole body trembling, and his forehead was already covered with beads of sweat.
took another step, and the whole person knelt on the stone bridge during the day, and his whole body trembled even more, and sweat continued to drip down his forehead, and fell on the stone bridge with a crackling sound.
Xu Xiaojing and Lan Qing all showed anxious looks in their eyes, but they couldn't do anything now, everything could only rely on him during the day.
During the day, he knelt on the stone bridge and did not move for a long time, but as time passed, his body gradually calmed down. About a quarter of an hour later, in the surprised eyes of Xu Xiaojing and Lan Qing, the aura on Bai Bai's body actually rose steadily.
Lan Qing exclaimed, and said in some incredulity: "Brother Xiaojing, during the day, he broke through?"
Xu Xiaojing nodded, looking at Bai Bai, there was a hint of relief in her eyes.
I saw that in the day after the breakthrough, his eyes suddenly opened, his eyes showed a sharp look, he stood up and took step by step, and the distance behind seemed to have no effect on him.
Finally took ten steps, stood in front of Xu Xiaojing and the others during the day, and bowed deeply to Xu Xiaojing: "Brother Xiaojing, thank you." ”
Xu Xiaojing helped Bai Bai up, and Bai Bai didn't explain much, and Xu Xiaojing didn't ask much, just raised his fist and hammered it into Bai Bai's chest, everything was silent.
Xu Xiaojing glanced at the current state of the day, and asked, "Are you still going to walk with us on the next road?"
"No, I just broke through the foundation building period not long ago, and now I have broken through the middle stage of foundation building, and the realm is not yet stable, I am afraid that I will break away from you at that time. And there is a bridge to guard it, so there will be no danger, so I will stabilize my realm here," replied Daytime.
Xu Xiaojing heard what Bai Bai said, nodded, and said: "That's fine, then you can cultivate here well, and after this ruin, you and I brothers will have a good time drinking and talking." ”
After saying that, he threw a few thunder beads to Bai Bai again, and then pulled Lan Qing to turn around and walk out of the cave.
