Chapter 11: On the Giant Tree
Stepping into the tower, the five elders lowered their bodies to inspect and sighed: "Sure enough, the lord who is not short of money, just the floor, it uses a thousand-year-old iron and wood core, and it is also coated with solid spirit liquid, and it will not decay in another ten thousand years." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Walking up in a circular shape on the plank, Li Lin couldn't help asking: "It's strange, why are there railings everywhere, what are the rusty rings and spikes used for?"
"This is originally a place to test disciples, looking at this layout, it is estimated that it is used for training, the iron ring is tied to the iron chain and connected to the copper shaft, which is hollow, and the iron chain is used by the cultivator to cultivate. As for these spikes, if they fall from the chain, they will be stabbed to death by the spikes, and there is no chance of survival. ”
Li Lin was a little unacceptable and shouted, "What a cruel training method." ”
"Then what do you think? That is, the competition in the Immortal Cultivation Realm is not so barbaric now. If you want to survive, you can only put in 12 points of effort. ”
"Wait! That's not right! As long as a cultivator passes the stage of refining qi, he will be able to control the weapon in the air, and these facilities will not add to the snake? As for the exercise of physical functions, it is even more impossible, and the spiritual energy conceives the body, which is better than all means. ”
"To say that you are unresponsive is really not nonsense. The fifth elder rolled his eyes and said disdainfully. "Don't you feel that since you entered this tower, your spiritual power has been suppressed to the point that it is almost impossible to operate? The environmental avenue here is obviously different from the world we are in, and the spiritual power is almost difficult to operate. ”
"No! everything is normal!" Li Lin said after closing his eyes for a while.
"Could it be that my cultivation is too low, so low that I don't need to suppress it at all?"
"Hehe, maybe. Although the Fifth Elder said this, he had a conjecture in his heart at this time, maybe Li Lin was really the last key factor recorded in the "Dead Sea Documents".
The two of them did not pause, the higher they went, the smaller the spiral circle became, and now they could clearly see the huge copper shaft supporting the inverted hanging temple, and the huge copper pillar covered with patina, standing in front of everyone in an unfathomable posture.
As he was walking, he suddenly heard the five elders in front of him shouting, "Be careful." The ironwood floor under Li Lin's feet suddenly bounced up, and I saw that her arm was long and grabbed Li Lin, and the two of them suddenly flew up and were thrown to the center of the tower.
In the crisis, the fifth elder raised his arm, and the bamboo umbrella flew out and inserted into the tower wall, although Yue Yang was half a beat slower, he quickly came back to his senses, and the flying rope also circled the railing, and the two of them landed on the next circle of planks without danger.
The fifth elder said: "Don't let your guard down, the place where you once exercised the pride of the heavens must have a lot of back-hands, so be extra careful." ”
Walking all the way up the spiral corridor to the top, because the whole structure is an upside-down tower, the space above has become much larger, and the huge copper shaft is within reach.
Out of a small archway, there was a straight avenue lined with incendiary sticks, and in the middle was the branch of the great tree they had seen, and at the end of the branch was the small arch that connected to the top of the tower.
Walking along the Changming guide lamp, before reaching the end of the branch, you can already see that between the huge stone wall, it should be the location of the branch of the giant tree. A heavy palace-like temple pavilion, built according to the mountain wall, faintly hidden in the dark, flickering, although only a scale and half a claw can be seen, but the five elders of Li Lin and the two of them have been forced by their momentum, their breathing is rapid, their heartbeats are also unusually beating, you can feel the power of blood flowing through the whole body, they are surging unprecedentedly.
Qionglou Yuyu, the heavenly palace, this scene should only be in the sky!
An uncontrollable thought was constantly urging anxiously, go, go, hurry up and get there, don't stop, they are not far ahead! I saw that the mountain wall stretched flat, the dark place did not know how far apart, touching the mountain wall, a piece of smooth, I wanted to climb the past but couldn't, and the only way is to dig on the stone wall, like a hanging ladder descended from nine days, I can only climb straight up another branch, into the second inverted hanging temple.
"Is this a metaphor for the road to immortality, like ascending to the sky?"
The Fifth Elder looked up at the hanging ladder hidden in the darkness and asked himself in a low voice.
Climbing up the suspension ladder, the second inverted tower is completely different from the first, the layers are separated by an ironwood core soaked in spiritual liquid, each floor is divided into six triangles, and between the upper and lower floors is the wooden switchback staircase of an ordinary tower, I don't know what the function is, but they didn't encounter obstacles along the way.
"Maybe even this Divine Son Trial Hall won't stand the test of time. Li Lin sighed inexplicably.
At the top of the second place, I saw a scaly branch sticking out, which was very different from the previous branch, and connected to the nine iron cables of the Hanging Temple leading to the dark place.
The nine iron cables were as thick as a child's arm, black and dull, I don't know what was painted on them, two were horizontal at both ends, and seven were side by side at the feet, and it seemed that they were going to pass through another inverted hanging temple, and they passed through this iron cable.
The iron cable can bear the load, and it is not difficult for the two who cannot volley at this time, and then go down the tower, and then climb from the stone wall to the other arm, and so on.
As they entered the inverted hanging temple behind, the places where there were mechanisms on the road began to leave traces of blood that had dried up for an unknown amount of time and some traces of battle, but they were not in danger, maybe it was really time that defeated everything, and many of the mechanisms and facilities were useless.
The cultivation of the five elders was extraordinary, Li Lin's endurance was amazing, and the two of them did not stop all the way, and soon walked nine inverted hanging temples. Until the front of the tenth fallen tower, there is no way! The hanging ladder broke out of thin air, leaving only half of it, and all the places above were smooth stone walls.
"There's no road, the road is broken. Li Lin turned his head to look at the five elders.
"It's so abrupt, there must be some clue we missed. What the hell is it? Is it in these inverted hanging temples?"
"What? Isn't it going to be a round from scratch?"
When Li Lin heard this, he was really stunned, although he had not experienced any danger along the way, but he was very tired of climbing up and down, and at least the endurance of the wild monkeys who could run to death began to be unable to persevere.
"I'm just mentioning it, why are you reacting so much?"
After looking for a long time, the two of them, who still hadn't found a way out, finally decided to return to the nine inverted hanging temples to look for clues.
However, the two who came back again were so surprised that they gasped after seeing the picture in front of them.
The interior of this tower is essentially the same as that of the first one, and it is completely hollow, surrounded by a spiral staircase leading upwards. Not enough now that the strange thing is that they are back to the bottom again, and the spiral staircase around them is gone, as if inside a giant egg, the walls are all artificially polished and smooth. The huge copper shaft in the middle has also changed slightly, turning into more than 30 small copper pillars with a diameter of about one foot, each of which leads straight to the zenith. There was no light inside the tower, and it was impossible to see where the exit was.
Li Lin raised his head and asked, "This, how can this go up?"
The five elders walked to the center of the tower, touched the supporting pillar that had grown patina, and then looked at the black blood stains on the stone wall under their feet, and said in a deep voice: "This floor, maybe we have to climb up." ”
