Chapter 551: Cave Mansion
The so-called Ancient Altar is located on the highest peak among the thousand mountains.
But Xiao Bai's residence was not there, but on another snow-capped mountain adjacent to that peak.
Its location is very hidden, and Wu Angelica must also be recognized.
On the way, Yuan came to know that Wu Danggui had begun to practice in the thousands of mountains since most of his injuries had healed, eating the wind and dew and snow, and concentrating on penance.
The mountains are huge, and there are not many places where there is a scenery like Merlin, but it needs to be slowly and carefully searched.
Speaking of which, it is also a coincidence that Yuan Lai met him, Wu Danggui happened to walk through Meilin in the past two days and practiced here, otherwise the two would probably pass by.
Xiao Bai, on the other hand, rarely goes out, and usually cultivates in his own residence.
According to the old man, he hadn't seen Xiao Bai for several months.
When the two finally crossed a mountain, through the old man's guidance, Yuan Lai found a small white palace hidden in the snow peak relatively easily.
Its color is white, and it is completely integrated with the surrounding colors, and it is extremely difficult to distinguish when you look at it suddenly.
"That's just the gate. ”
Wu Angelica explained lightly.
Xiao Bai naturally lives in the cave mansion of his inheritance, which has been very old, and it is also a place similar to the blessed land of the cave, and the exposed white palace is only a gateway to the overall building.
"Her abode is almost the whole mountain, or rather, it's bigger than the whole mountain. ”
"What do you mean? is it hollowing out the belly of the mountain?" Yuan Lai was puzzled.
The old man smiled faintly: "Now that you know the origin of this ancient altar, haven't you thought about how it was built in the first place? According to the records, the construction of this altar at the beginning consumed terrifying resources and required a lot of manpower. ”
"Small world?" Yuan Lai was taken aback, after all, there seemed to be only a few of these things in the entire continent.
Even if there is, it is firmly in the hands of the big sects.
The old man explained: "It's just a small broken world, the space should have been the size of a dozen mountains at the beginning, but as so many years have passed, it has become more damaged, and now it is only the size of a few mountains. ”
Yuan Lai was silent, even so, if he could get it, he would probably be robbed.
"This small world should have been the place where those who built the altar rested and lived at the beginning, but now it has only become Xiao Bai's cave mansion. ”
With that, the two of them had already arrived outside the white palace.
Yuan Lai looked up, the palace is indeed in vain, only the outer part of the mountain is exposed, tall and white, the stone is carved with ancient carvings, there are many ice sculptures outside the door, the whole style is completely different from today's Qiguo architectural style, quite a bit of ancient taste.
And in the center of these stone carvings, there is a huge stone gate.
"Let's go. ”
Wu Danggui said to Yuan, then walked to the door and knocked heavily.
He knocked really hard, and his fist landed on the gate with a muffled thud, and the nearby layers of snow trembled.
Yuan couldn't help but be frightened, he was afraid that such a big movement would cause an avalanche, but fortunately, Wu Angelica only knocked three times and stopped.
The two of them waited for more than a dozen breaths, and the huge stone gate was pushed open by some force.
Yuan Lai followed Wu Danggui in, and found that behind the door was a hollowed-out mountain, the space was round, tall, but not dark, and the upper layer of the space was inlaid with a dense layer of luminous spars, so that the whole space was no longer dark.
Yuan Lai began to look at it, but he only felt that the space was vast, and he felt that he was in a boundless hall.
It seems that what Wu Danggui said is true, this cave house has indeed hollowed out most of the mountains.
"Let's go, it's not there yet. ”
The old man didn't stay long, but continued to move forward, Yuan Lai could only follow, there were quite a few buildings in this cave, but it was not inhabited, until the two of them saw an open stone door again, Yuan Lai suddenly sensed the breath of the small world in front of him.
After passing through the stone gate, you will come to the real cave house.
Yuan Lai only felt that the light in front of him changed, and the scene in front of him suddenly turned into a Jiangnan scenery with birds singing and flowers.
He was stunned for a moment, and then he saw that under the blue sky, the green peaks and rivers filled his eyes, and there were flocks of birds flying in the air, the air was sweet, and the temperature was also very pleasant.
"Originally, I thought that Aunt Xiao was also cultivating ......" Yuan Lai looked around and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It seems that I was thinking wrong, where can I see the slightest bit of hardship here, it is clearly a paradise." ”
Wu Danggui smiled faintly and sighed: "I never said that she was also doing penance. ”
Yuan Lai was helpless, and after thinking about it, Xiao Bai's temperament was not like what he could have if he cultivated in a bitter cold place.
While he was talking, a man came from a distance.
Xiao Bai, who had not been seen for a long time, did not bring an umbrella that was inseparable from her, her temperament was still so beautiful that Yuan Lai felt beautiful, like cold autumn water, and when she came to the two of them, she showed a more gorgeous smile.
"Yuan Lai?"
Xiao Bai's clear eyes revealed elegant surprise and warmth.
......
......
Now that he arrived at his destination, Yuan Lai relaxed a lot in a timely manner, and the reunion with Xiao Bai also made him very happy, Xiao Bai pulled him to ask long and short questions, especially when asked about the situation of Xiao Ye and Yo You, Yuan Lai smiled and said, anyway, everything is fine.
Of course, she is not the only one in Xiao Bai's cave mansion, there are many miscellaneous disciples, Yuan Lai was first invited to visit this paradise, and then he took a good meal seriously, and then talked about the purpose of his visit.
"It's unbelievable that you're already about to break through the Four Realms. ”
Xiao Bai didn't care much about the general trend of the world, he just sighed and passed by, but was pleasantly surprised by Yuan Lai's cultivation growth.
"If you want to go to the altar, I can arrange it, but you have worked hard all the way, so you should rest for a few days first, so you can adjust your state of mind, and there is one thing you may need to be prepared. ”
"What's the matter?" asked Yuan Lai seriously.
Xiao Bai looked at him and said slowly: "The ancient altar can indeed help people break through the four realms, but once you go up, it will be a test, and the four realms will test the firmness of the Dao heart, you are young, so the chance of breaking through should also be small, this is one thing, on the other hand, once you step into this test, it is not a short time to end, do you know?"
Yuan Lai was stunned and puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Xiao Bai said warmly: "Entering the altar is actually to let you retreat once, retreat naturally takes time, according to the usual experience, the more talented people need more time, you have reached this kind of cultivation at such an age, and the time required for this promotion must be very long." ”
"How long will it take?" Yuan Lai couldn't help but be a little worried.
Xiao Bai smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, it was only a few months at most. ”
Will it take a few months?
Yuan Lai was a little surprised, but thinking that the battle outside would not change much in a few months, he was not short of this time, in addition, now that the four realms have entered, his own combat power is no longer of much value in the entire battlefield, I believe that Shentu Wojia also knew this, so he will gladly let himself come with peace of mind.
Thinking about this, Yuan Lai nodded and calmed down.
