Chapter Thirty-Four: The Illusion on the Bridge
readx;
Su Qi entered the whirlpool, only to feel that the sky was spinning, the true yuan in his body was scattered like a turbulent current, and his whole body seemed to be floating at will in the void, dazed. The sudden weightlessness of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info made Su Qi's mind chaotic, and he couldn't concentrate at all.
Before Su Qi had time to think, everything had already returned to normal. The True Yuan in his body was no longer wandering around, and the feeling of whirling around the world had disappeared. Su Qi rolled down from mid-air and landed on all fours in the shallow grass. The chaotic lights and shadows were all gone, and his eyes were bright.
Su Qi looked up and saw that this was no longer the Su family's martial arts arena.
There is no sun in the sky, but it is extremely bright, as if it were in the afternoon, and the light source from nowhere illuminates the scenery clearly. In the distance is a field of lush trees, green grass, picturesque scenery, without any birds and beasts, it looks calm and peaceful. Su Qi took a deep breath and found that the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi here was more than ten times richer than the outside world, and it had even condensed into substance, slowly drifting at his feet like mist, looking like he was in a fairyland.
Su Qi grabbed a handful of soil from the grass and crushed it finely, finding that the soil here was also much more fertile than the outside world, obviously because it had been nourished by the vitality of heaven and earth for a long time. It is precisely because of the fertile land that rare and exotic grasses can be cultivated.
Su Qi calmed down, examined his body, and found that everything was fine. At this time, only he entered the ancestral land, because he was the first place in the big competition, so Su Qingyun, who was in second place, would not be able to enter after a quarter of an hour. This quarter of an hour was enough for him to get a lot ahead, or to make some good preparations.
Su Qi had already made up his mind in his heart, and rushed forward without any hesitation.
In the lush woods ahead, there is a huge medicine garden, in which the flowers and plants are fragrant and beautiful, and they are extraordinary at first sight. Su Qi knew that it was probably the strange medicine field he had speculated before, full of heavenly and earthly treasures. At this time, there was a small river in front of him, and if he wanted to reach the medicine field, he had to cross the river.
The river is clear and the water is not fast, so there should be no problem in wading sideways. But Su Qi felt a little strange, and he didn't recklessly attack the groundwater. First, there is not a single swimming fish or aquatic grass in the river, which makes him feel a little weird; second, there is a small wooden bridge on the river, and a stone tablet is erected at the head of the bridge, on which the words "Nai He Bridge" are engraved.
"If you can cross the river by wading through the water at will, why bother building another small bridge? Moreover, the name of this bridge is 'Nai He Bridge', which obviously has the meaning of a test, and since it is a test, there can be no possibility of any opportunistic shortcuts. ”
Thinking of this, Su Qi did not hesitate and walked towards the bridge. As soon as he stepped on the small bridge, Su Qi felt the bridge body shake. The scene in front of me suddenly disappeared, as if the world had changed. That inconspicuous river had turned into a raging river, the waves were turbulent, the turbid waves emptied, and the violent force kept slapping against the shore, exploding a puff of white foam. Su Qi was frightened, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "It turns out that this ancestral land is full of illusions, if I just crossed the river without thinking about it, I am afraid that I have been slapped back to the shore by the waves at this time, even if it does not hurt my life, most of them will suffer some internal injuries, and the future competition will definitely be very unfavorable." ”
After a breath, the scenery changed again. The small wooden bridge in front of Su Qi had disappeared, and he was in a terrifying lava mountain pass, where bright red and hot magma gushed out from cracks in the ground, making a "sizzling" sound and emitting wisps of white smoke after contact with the air. Su Qi only felt that his body was extremely heavy, and he found that he was carrying a heavy white boulder on his body, and his entire spine was completely bent. He looked up with difficulty, and saw a very long procession ahead of him, a group of ragged slaves, all carrying large boulders, crawling along the path that had been carved out of the mountain pass to the lava pass. As far as the eye could see, at the end of the trail above, the slaves had become the size of ants, and the procession went straight from the ground into the sky, with no end in sight.
Su Qi couldn't help but be horrified, he looked down at his body, and found that he had also become a slave, his whole body was covered with black charcoal ash, his skin was scorched black and red, there were several scabbed wounds on it, and a few new whip marks that were still bleeding. After a little hesitation, Su Qi couldn't keep up with the team immediately, and with a loud "whoosh", a black shadow of a leather whip rolled straight from behind and slapped his left arm.
"Smack!" There was a bang, and Su Qi only felt a sharp pain in his left arm, his skin and flesh opened, blood burst out, and he let out a hoarse scream.
"Keep up, you filthy pariahs, now that you have been sent here to atone for your sins, give me a serious job!" a tyrannical roar sounded behind him, Su gritted his teeth, and hurried two steps to keep up with the slave in front.
The team was not walking fast, but the lava was constantly coming out all around, and the air had become extremely hot, and with each breath, you could feel the black smoke with sparks entering the lungs, and the hot smoke burned the nose and throat with a stinging pain. The ground beneath his feet was also extremely hot, and his bare feet were numb, but he could still feel the terrible temperature from the ground. As slaves fell to the ground from dehydration or exhaustion, the menacing overseers would step forward and kick the slave off the mountain and into the lava, which was still tumbling and bubbling.
The screams of the slave falling were endless, Su Qi was frightened, gritted his teeth and carried the boulder on his back, closely following the footsteps of the slave in front of him, and did not dare to lag behind a single step.
"What a real illusion...... I just don't know where exactly this is? The outfits of these overseers don't look like the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms of Qin, Jin, and Yan, could it be some hidden sect? How many years ago was this? Anyway, this is just an illusion of the Nai He Bridge, I am just experiencing someone's journey, not really immersive, as long as I grit my teeth and persist for a while, this illusion will naturally be self-defeating!"
Su Qi made up his mind and decided not to pay attention to the tragic situation in front of him, but gritted his teeth and walked step by step.
The road ahead looked extremely long, and Su Qi didn't know how many whips he had received and how much blood he had shed. Now, he felt that the boulder on his body weighed more than a thousand catties, and every step he took would exhaust the strength of his whole body. The wounds on his body were still bleeding, and the blood evaporated in the scorching air as soon as it came out, and the sweat stains and blood stains were mixed together, and the itching was unbearable. He also wanted to use the True Yuan in despair, but found that his body was empty, I don't know if it was because this body was just an ordinary person, or because he was banned from cultivating.
Just when Su Qi was already groggy and about to give up, he suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing. Su Qi perked up, looked up, and found that he had come to the top of the mountain. As far as the eye can see, there is an endless snowfield in the distance.
