Chapter 9: The Seven Bitter Paths
Di Yun followed the route indicated on the map and walked for two days before reaching Hengshi Mountain. From a distance, this Hengshi Mountain is divided into two peaks, the middle of the two peaks is only a few dozen zhang wide, and there is a stone bridge in the middle of the two mountains. From a distance, it looks like a large stone lying across it, hence the name.
Di Yun carefully studied the map and found that the place marked on the map was on the mountainside of the mountain on the left. So he got up and flew up the hill. As soon as he flew to the foot of the mountain, he felt a strong force surging from below, and he was dragged to the ground. Fortunately, Di Yunfei was not high, and he was not injured after falling, but it scared him.
After going to the ground, I tried to fly again, but I couldn't fly anymore. Di Yun carefully studied this mountain peak, and finally determined that there was a huge forbidden air prohibition here, maybe it was a formation or some magic weapon guarding it.
The danger of the ancient ruins, Di Yun naturally understood. He didn't break through, but spent most of the day, and after going around the mountain, he found that if he wanted to go up the mountain, he had to go up the mountain path on the right and pass through the stone bridge to reach the left.
In desperation, Di Yun had to make a detour to the foot of the mountain on the right. Although this Hengshi Mountain is not low, and the mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk. But this is a piece of cake for Di Yun, who grew up in the mountains. After an hour's work, Di Yun climbed to the top of the mountain and found the stone bridge.
The stone bridge lies in the middle of the mountain peak, and the head of the bridge is carved in the shape of a tiger's roar. It is particularly spectacular in the midst of the cold mountain peaks. Coming out of the bridge, Di Yun turned around and looked at it, it turned out that the bridge body was extended from a tiger head more than three feet high on the mountain peak, and walking on the bridge was like walking on the tongue of a tiger.
Di Yun was secretly surprised, it was indeed an ancient ruin. This kind of handwriting is really not human. Di Yun turned and walked to the other side of the bridge, and when he was about to reach the middle of the bridge, an angry roar came from the other side of the bridge. The sound was so loud that even the stone bridge trembled. Fortunately, there is no tofu slag project in the ruins, and although the shaking is severe, the stone bridge does not have the slightest trace of cracking.
After a few moments, the roar stopped, and out of the hole on the opposite side of the stone bridge stepped out a man almost a foot tall. Dressed in heavy armor and holding a spear, he looks like a warrior of an ancient royal court.
Di Yun was shocked, how could there still be ancient people in such a place, and he would inevitably be more auspicious this time. At this moment, the voice of gold and iron rang from the opposite side: "I am the puppet of the guards of the Forbidden Palace, you can retreat quickly, you can avoid death." Immortal Venerable Divine Power is inviolable!"
Di Yun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that the other party was just a puppet and not a real person. Although I am still a little apprehensive in my heart, since I have come here, there is naturally no reason to retreat like this. So he took a step forward and said, "The kid didn't intend to offend, but he had a deep blood feud and wanted to come here to accept the inheritance of the Immortal Venerable. Help me succeed in revenge, and I hope you can make it easier. ”
"The inheritance of the Immortal Venerable cannot be obtained unless it is destined. There are three levels in this forbidden place, and those who pass all of them can obtain the inheritance qualification. I am the first way, and if you insist on entering, you just need to knock me down. The golden sound on the other side made Di Yun's eardrums buzz, but Di Yun understood this.
Di Yun saw the solid warriors wrapped in armor on the opposite side, but the battle spirit in his heart continued to rise.
"If you want to fight, then fight. ”
Di Yun picked up the black stick and threw it at the other party, and the landing point was chosen where the opponent's only bare was the forearm. I saw that the puppet was motionless in the face of Di Yun's attack. Di Yun was overjoyed and smashed it with a stick.
There was a loud bang. The puppet didn't move, but Di Yun's hands were numb, and he flew back to where he had stood, and then took a few steps back to stand firmly.
Bastard, it turns out that this puppet is not only armor of iron, but the whole person is iron. It's just that I don't know how to put on a layer of human skin on the surface.
Di Yun rubbed his unconscious wrist, and was about to speak, when the puppet on the opposite side shook slightly, and the spear in his hand stabbed over. Di Yun was just about to get up and dodge, but the spear turned into a sweep and smashed heavily on Di Yun's back, hitting it directly on the white jade guardrail of the bridge. Di Yun spat a mouthful of blood on the guardrail, who knew that the guardrail was made of extremely special material, and there was not a drop of blood left on it, and it all slid to the ground.
Di Yun stood up and rubbed his chest, although he was knocked away, but according to Di Yun's current physical strength, this kind of attack would not cause him any harm.
"This puppet is just durable, and its attack power is average. I fought hard to get him a few hits, and I was going to beat him back. Di Yun thought hatefully.
The first change of the God Emperor - the God Emperor is now. Di Yun thought silently in his heart, and the phantom behind him suddenly became larger, but Di Yun didn't notice that the weapon in the hand and the armor on his body held by the phantom behind him were so similar to the puppet opposite.
Although the puppet on the opposite side could feel Di Yun's growing momentum, it still stood still. Di Yun held the stick in both hands and jumped violently, this time the target of the attack was the head of the puppet.
I saw the puppet raise the spear and slash towards the sky with an expressionless face. Di Yun only felt a heavy force coming. This time the puppet's offensive was more than ten times stronger than the last one. Di Yun felt that the bones in his body were about to break, and his muscles were also smashed by the puppet's strength in many places.
Di Yun flew back again, but he retreated a few minutes faster than when he had rushed over. After hitting the guardrail behind him and stopping, Di Yun checked his body and was surprised to find it. Although I felt extremely injured just now, the injuries in my body have healed.
In just a few seconds, how did such a serious injury heal? Di Yun was wondering to himself, but the puppet on the opposite side stood on the side of the road, and said in a hoarse voice: "Since you have learned the Tao of the immortals, you have a fate, I can't stop you, you can go in." ”
After listening to him, Di Yun's heart beat wildly, could it be that the owner of this ruin was actually the creator of the God Emperor Transformation?
Di Yun walked up to the puppet and bowed deeply before getting up and walking across the bridge. The golem followed him. On the other side of the bridge is a black gate, and although there is light on it, there is no luster on it.
In the great wilderness, iron is very rare, but here, even the gate more than three zhang high is made of iron. It's the first time Di Yun has been so rich!
The puppet tapped the door a few times, and the door slammed open. Di Yun walked straight in. After entering, Di Yun realized that this ruin was so small. The radius is only dozens of zhang, and in the innermost part of the room, there is a stone stele. Between the stele and oneself is a pool, on which there are seven stone piers, presumably for the feet.
The puppet said to him, "If you go to the stone tablet, you will pass this second level. ”
Di Yun nodded, his heart raising his vigilance. Although there are only seven stone piers, you only need to take seven steps to reach the stone monument. But it's not that simple.
Di Yun walked to the edge of the pool, and saw the wooden stake by the pool written: "The seven hardships of life: birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment, love and separation, and unwanted." After the seven bitter paths, you can experience the flavors of the world and prove the six reincarnations. Be careful, be careful!"
Di Yun savored these words. He lifted his feet and walked up to the first stone pier.
The moment his feet stepped on the stone pier, his eyes suddenly went blank. He only felt that in the blink of an eye, Stratus clouds had returned to the foot of the mountain.
......
Lin Lan, who was sweating profusely, looked haggard, but looked at the baby with a happy face. Outside the door was Di Jian's anxious voice: "Mother Wang, have you given birth? is it a son, thank you so much, thank you so much!"
He saw Di Jian rushing to the open space at the door, knelt down suddenly, and raised his head to the sky with tears streaming down his face: "Childe, you have a back, you have a back!"
Behind him, Lin Lan stood by the door with himself in his arms, crying silently!
......
"Mother, Grandpa Di," he muttered......
......
"Young master, come here, there's a wild boar here. Di Jian shouted excitedly.
"I'm coming, haha. I've got him, and we're going to have another good meal today......"
Di Jian watched his growth day by day, and his eyes gradually turned red.
"Yun'er, you don't want to take revenge. Just stay in this mountain. Spend your life quietly, okay? Lin Lan hugged herself and said emotionally.
"Mother......
Lin Lan's warm embrace made Di Yun gradually intoxicated. I really want to be in my mother's arms like this, never leave her......
......
No, it's not right. My life was not destined to be so mediocre. I still have a blood feud, and I still have the expectations of my mother and Grandpa Di, and my mother can't let me stay in Bishan.
Fake, hallucination, it's hallucination.
Di Yun bit the tip of his tongue hard, and the whole person came to his senses.
It turned out that everything was an illusion, he was still on the first stone pier, the puppet was still standing silently behind him, and his goal was only the stone monument in front of him.
"The pain of life. It turns out that it does not mean that you are born with a kind of pain, it turns out that the real meaning of the suffering of life is to let yourself find the life you want. And in the pursuit of this life, suffering will follow. A comfortable life is destined to be unfathomable to you, Di Yun, you have to work hard, and don't forget what you are carrying. ”
Thinking of this, Di Yun exhaled lightly, took a step forward, and went up to the second stone pier.
......
The old self, whose cultivation is extremely high, has broken through the ninth stage of body refining, and Emperor Ming has already been killed by himself. But watching his children and grandchildren leave him one by one. What's the point of living alone?
......
The third stone pier.
......
If you fail to cultivate yourself, your qi will be destroyed. You can no longer embark on the path of revenge. Di Yun saw here that he was poor and destitute in his life. The illness on a rainy day, the hatred of his father and the expectations of his mother, and Grandpa Di's angry eyes before he died......
I lived up to their expectations, and every rainy night, I just struggled with the disease......
......
The fourth stone pier
......
On the road of cultivation, everything is dangerous. Di Yun saw himself pierced through his body by Duan Shangwu's ice spikes and died in his mockery.
Di Yun saw that he was alone in Mingshan to save his mother, and was trampled on the ground by a person wearing golden armor and kicked off the cliff.
Di Yun saw that he was in the middle of the mountain, fighting with the fierce beast, and was bitten to death by it......
Di Yun saw ......
It turns out that death is so simple and so real.
What is the joy of life, and what is the pain of death......
......
Diyun woke up on the fourth stone pier. His clothes were already soaked with sweat.
Birth, old age, sickness, death. The natural law of this life, in Di Yun's mind, slowly emerged, and his experience in the illusion just now was so real. Although at the last moment, he relied on strong perseverance to survive, but the fear in his heart slowly increased little by little. If you have no desire, you are strong, you have asked so much in your life, how can you live up to them......
Di Yun stood on the fourth stone pier and could not move for a long time......
