Chapter 35: Crossing the Nai Ho Bridge
readx;
This turned out to be an active volcano standing on a snowy field. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Su Qi's eyes widened in disbelief, looking at everything in front of him. Behind him was a huge crater hundreds of feet high, with thick smoke billowing and lava flowing, and from time to time charred black stones collapsed due to the high temperature, rolling into the magma, and white smoke "sizzled". The slaves climbed up the winding mountain trail and carried huge rocks on their backs, stretching from the mountain pass to the bottom of the lava cave like a long dragon.
Standing on the top of the mountain overlooking the vast snowfield, I saw the cold wind howling, the granular snowflakes fluttering in the air, and the north wind rolling up a snowstorm from time to time. The temperature at the top of the volcano is high, so there is not much snow, and the snow line begins to form about ten feet down from the cave entrance on the top of the mountain. The boulder-carrying slaves struggled out of the crater and on a path to the other side of the mountain, placing the boulder on a smooth black stone path and pushing it hard down the long black stone path to the bottom of the mountain.
When he was in the crater, surrounded by smoke and the pungent smell of sulfur, Su Qi was overwhelmed by the large stones, and he did not bother to look closely, until now he found that the stones carried by the slaves were divided into two kinds, one black and one white. The black stone looks extremely hard and has some small honeycomb holes on it, while the white stone is as smooth as jade and has no lines.
This black stone path is a few feet wide, with a gentle slope and a smooth surface, and I don't know what material it is made of, but there is not a trace of snow on it. There are two low walls on both sides of the stone path that are more than three feet high, which can shelter from the wind and snow, and the other can ensure that the boulders will not roll out of the stone path. The stone path stretches far away, and at the end is a small town. Looking beyond the town and into the distance, there is a majestic city faintly in the wind and snow, and the shadows are not clear to see, only the top of the city, which is full of color, like an aurora.
When Su Qi saw these lights, he instantly thought of the record he had seen in a classic, and couldn't help blurting out: "Streamer City!"
At this time, Su Qi had also come to the side of the stone road. He put down the big stone on his body, only to feel a sudden lightness on his body. With a gentle push on the side of the stone path, the white stone rolled in the direction of the town. At the moment when Su Qi rolled the big stone down, the scene in front of him suddenly changed, like a wave of water, and the smoke, slaves, and wind and snow all disappeared. Su Qi opened his eyes again and found that he had returned to the ancestral land, he turned his head to look, but the bridge was already behind him.
After crossing the Nai He Bridge, Su Qi didn't feel happy, and the scenes he saw in the illusion made him feel heavy. Smoke, brimstone, lava, whips, blood, stones, cities...... The strange scenes made him feel extremely uneasy.
"Streamer City...... Is this the legendary Streamer City? But this lava pass, these slaves, these stones...... What's going on?"
Streamer City, Ethereal Mountain, and Biluohai are known as the three major cultivation holy places in the world, but these three places are extremely mysterious, and they will only enter the world after a few years. There are very few records about these three places, and there are no exercises or classics that have flowed out, so for the world, many people have regarded these three places as ethereal immortal mountains, and they only exist in legends.
I saw Streamer City in the illusion of the Su family's ancestral land, what is going on?
Su Qi thought for a while, but he still didn't understand the point, and decided to ignore it for the time being and move on. He turned to look at the other end of the Nai He Bridge, only to see a big river rolling under the Nai He Bridge, slapping the river bank violently, the river was full of fog, and he couldn't see the scenery on the other side clearly, and could only vaguely see one or two vague figures. Su Qi guessed that the time in this illusion was probably much longer than in reality, and he had the impression that he had stayed in the illusion for an hour or two, and it was only a quarter of an hour in reality.
Time was pressing, Su Qi no longer thought about it, turned around and walked towards the medicine field.
At this time, Su Qingyun was meditating by the river, breathing quietly. When he first entered the ancestral land, he saw that Jiang Shui didn't think much about it at all, and jumped over and wanted to jump directly. But I didn't expect that I was in the middle of the air and suddenly the fog was filled, and a wide river lay in front of me, the river was turbulent and the water was turbulent. Su Qingyun was shocked, and was about to turn back, when the monstrous waves just hit and slapped him back to the shore. Fortunately, Su Qingyun's body method is fast enough, otherwise he will be swept into the river, and he doesn't know where he will be washed away. Rao is like this, Su Qingyun was still hit by the huge waves and suffered internal injuries, so he could only breathe quietly on the shore.
Not long after, the air above the clearing where Su Qingyun was located was as light as water waves, and the third person entered the ancestral land, which was Su Lang. At the same time, Su Qi's figure appeared out of thin air at the other end of the bridge. I saw Su Qi turn his head and look, and immediately walked towards the medicine field.
Su Lang looked at Su Qi's figure thoughtfully, and then cautiously walked towards the Nai He Bridge.
Su Qi walked along the field path and soon came to the entrance of the medicine field. I saw a one-person-high stone tablet in front of me, with three large characters written on it: Elixir Garden! There are several kinds of exotic flowers and medicinal herbs planted around the medicine field, although Su Qi basically doesn't know it, but he can also know it just by smelling the medicinal fragrance, these medicinal herbs are extremely precious treasures. There are already so many heavenly treasures on the periphery of the medicine field, and the herbs inside the medicine field must be even more rare, which is a great temptation for any cultivator.
However, Su Qi did not stop, and walked directly through the medicine field, without even looking at those medicinal herbs that could be sold for a few gold.
For the other disciples, these herbs were undoubtedly the biggest temptation, but since Su Qi already knew that there were sword furnaces and many other treasures behind the ancestral land, he was no longer so persistent. For him, although the medicinal herbs are precious, they are insignificant compared to the divine weapons and the inheritance of the exercises. The time to enter the ancestral land is limited, if you delay too long here in the medicine field and be caught up by Su Qingyun and his party, it will be a big mistake.
Su Qi walked through the elixir garden and continued to walk, the road ahead was getting narrower and more rugged, Su Qi looked up and saw that he had come to the foot of a small mountain. This mountain is not high, only about 100 zhang, and it looks more like a rockery artificially built in the garden. But after Su Qi passed through the Nai He Bridge, he already knew that nothing in the ancestral land could not only look at the appearance, and there were many illusions in it, and it must not be taken lightly. Su Qi took a deep breath and walked along the trail towards the mountain.
Seeing that everything was as usual in front of him, without any illusion, Su Qi breathed a sigh of relief gently. The experience in the lava pass was a great torture, and few people could afford to do it again. Su saw that there was no illusion, so he was bold and climbed up quickly. After breaking through the second realm, he was in light and healthy health, and he walked like a fly, and soon reached the top of the mountain.
Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, I saw that the clouds and mist were shrouded in the middle of the mountain, and the pines and cypresses loomed in the meantime, which actually gave Su Qi the illusion that this mountain was ten thousand feet high.
