Chapter 256: It's Too Late......
For a whole day, she knelt up step by step from the foot of the mountain, in fact, her body could not hold on for a long time, it was all supported by her will, and she could not even feel the pain in her body, probably numb from the pain.
As she climbed the last few steps, she supported her body with her fleshy palms. When she finally arrived, her strength was exhausted, and she fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.
She raised her eyes to look at the towering Thundercloud Temple in front of her, and stood up again.
Presumably, then the monk is inside, right?
As long as she climbs this tower again, she can meet him, right?
Shu Wan couldn't care about the pain in her body, and staggered to the tower in front of her.
Suddenly, the sound of "Ding Dong, Ding Dong" came from the front, until the sound was getting closer and closer to him.
Shu Wan raised her eyes and saw two Buddha beads jumping in front of her, then bouncing higher and lower, and finally Gollum rolled past her and fell down the bottomless steps......
Shu Wan's gaze was stunned along the place where the Buddha beads rolled down, and suddenly a cold voice hovered on the empty mountaintop: "Who is asking to see here?" ”
The sound was empty and distant, as if it had come from far away, like the sound of bells and drums for a long time.
Shu Wan heard this voice, knelt down reverently, and said with great difficulty: "Little girl...... Shu Wan, ask to see the monk. ”
A distant voice came from nowhere: "Go and pick up those two Buddha beads." ”
Those two beads?
Shu Wan turned to look at the steps behind her, only to feel that her knees and palms, which had already been numb from pain, began to hurt again......
I have long heard that it is more difficult to see this high monk than to ascend to the sky, but now it seems that this is really the case......
But she didn't dare to delay, as long as she could see him, let alone two Buddha beads, even a hundred, a thousand, she was willing to ......
As soon as she moved, she saw countless "ding dong" sounds falling into her ears.
She turned her head in shock to see countless beads jumping towards her, gurgling down the steps.
"All the Buddha beads, pick them up......"
Hearing this, Shu Wan suddenly became a little desperate.
It seems that the monk is indeed a powerful master, and he can actually listen to her heart......
Shu Wan didn't dare to delay, and dragged her tired body step by step from the bottom of the steps, picking up the Buddha beads on the ground as she walked.
There were too many Buddha beads to count, and she couldn't get them at all, so she twisted up her skirt and put the Buddha beads in her skirt one by one, very cautious.
But no matter how careful you are, the exhaustion of your body is already beyond the scope of bearing.
She stumbled, fell countless times, and the beads she had just picked up were scattered everywhere.
She had to pick it up again, again and again, during which she was so desperate that she cried, tears and blood merged with each other, but even if she couldn't hold on anymore and her body was exhausted, she still gritted her teeth and persevered.
Until she had picked up all the beads, she climbed the steps step by step and stood under the Thundercloud Pagoda again.
The blood and tears on her face were blurred, her hair was messy, and her whole person looked embarrassed, only her persistent and firm eyes, and she had no intention of retreating at all.
"Monk, the Buddha beads have been picked up......" she spoke, her throat burning with burning pain.
The closed door in front of me suddenly "creaked" open.
It was a little monk who opened the door for her.
The little monk saluted her and said, "Female benefactor, please come with me, my master has been waiting for a long time." ”
Shu Wan didn't care about the pain on her body, and followed the little monk in step by step, and climbed the Thundercloud Tower step by step.
I don't know how long it took, Shu Wan finally came to the highest floor of the Thundercloud Tower.
The pavilion is ventilated on all sides, the windows are wide open, and Shu Wan can see the ethereal clouds outside through the open windows, and the whole pavilion is like being above the sea of clouds.
"In a hundred years, you were the first person to climb the Thundercloud Tower......"
Following this familiar voice, Shu Wan saw an old monk with a gray beard buried in the middle of a pile of books, and if he hadn't spoken out, she wouldn't have noticed.
However, Wei Shi was taken aback by this voice, Shu Wan's hand shook, and the Buddha beads in her skirt pocket were scattered all over the ground, ding ding dong dong, and the beads fell on the jade plate.
Shu Wan hurriedly squatted down to pick it up, but a Buddha bead jumped too high and jumped out of the window.
Shu Wan wanted to reach out and grab it, but she was still a step too slow, she leaned her hands against the edge of the window, poked her head out, and watched the Buddha bead fall from the clouds.
Hearing the movement, the old monk slowly stood up from the sea of books, walked slowly towards her with his hands in his hands, poked his head out, looked at the bottomless tower twice, stroked his white beard, and said, "What do you want?" ”
When Shu Wan heard this, she hurriedly said, "I heard that the master has the elixir to get up and come back to life?" I want to ask for one to save my husband. ”
The old monk smiled: "It's not enough to come back to life, it's just some ordinary pills, which can cure a hundred poisons." ”
When Shu Wan heard this, she was immediately overjoyed: "It's good to be able to cure a hundred poisons, my husband has a strange poison in his body, only the master can save him, ask the master to give him medicine." Shu Wan knelt on the ground with a puff, and her already bloody knees suddenly smashed two blood marks on the ground.
The old monk just laughed and said slowly: "The reincarnation of the world is all seeking a cause and effect, your husband is too heavy to kill, this is his life, if you insist on saving, you will mess up this cause and effect." ”
Shu Wan said: "Then use my life to offset it, use my cause and effect to pay for it, just ask the master to fulfill it, Shu Wan has no regrets......
Her life was exchanged for her by Xiao Yan, even if she used her life to resist, she was willing, no matter what price she was asked to pay, it didn't matter!
"Since you can go up to this Thundercloud Tower, Lao Wei should fulfill your wishes, but you also lost one of Lao Gao's Buddha beads, and you haven't passed the test yet, Lao Gao still can't give you the elixir......"
When Shu Wan heard this, her heart suddenly lifted, of course she knew what he said, she didn't want her efforts to end in vain, so she said, "Master, can you wait for me, I'll go down and get the Buddha bead back now." ”
With that, Shu Wan got up with difficulty and was about to go downstairs.
"It's too late......" The voice behind her paused suddenly.
"The incense is running out."
Shu Wan turned around to take a look, only to find that there was still a stick of incense burning in the incense burner behind her, and it was about to burn to the end now.
"Ask the master for leniency, I'...... I'll pick it up as soon as possible......" Shu Wan was so anxious that tears rolled in her eyes, now she really hated herself, why wasn't she cautious, now she finally climbed this thundercloud tower, everything was in vain because of her mistakes......
The old monk seemed to ponder for a moment, and then stroked his beard and said, "It's not that there is no way, perhaps, you can jump directly from here in time......"
