Chapter 257: Heavenly Machine Gate
But it is said that Kunlun Mountain, the mountains are as continuous as a dragon, and the strange peaks are stacked one after another, and the strange scenery is full of strange scenes.
Xiao Lei and Miao Yan set off from Nandu, two top contemporary masters, soaring through the clouds and fog, and the distance of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers is only a day away.
Speaking of this, Xiao Lei's ability in this area is far beyond Miao Yan. Although the Bodhi Patriarch's methods of accepting apprentices are too domineering and unreasonable, the ability of teaching disciples is genuine and never hides selfishness.
The legendary Monkey King, who can turn over a somersault cloud of 108,000 miles with a single heel, this kind of mastery, Xiao Lei will naturally not let go. However, the Monkey King is a monkey after all, and he is naturally much better at somersaults than Xiao Lei, a pure human.
Therefore, Xiao Lei's somersault cloud is naturally too far worse than Sun Monkey, although it can't be said that it can turn out 108,000 miles, but in the past, from home to Kunlun Mountain, even if he used the wind control technique, it would take half a day's journey, if he used his current attainments, I am afraid that only half a pillar of incense would be enough. It's just that Miao Yan doesn't have the ability to be so fast after all, the two of them work hand in hand, floating in the sky, thousands of miles away, but they are not lonely.
Seeing the peaks and peaks under his feet, Xiao Lei smiled and said: "Miao Yan, the following is Kunlun Mountain, should we go to Kunlun to meet old acquaintances along the way?"
Miao Yan smiled and said: "Yujizi was calculated by you back then, I'm afraid that when I see you now, my teeth will be crushed, husband, if you want to smash the field, the concubine will naturally accompany you, if there is no intention to provoke, then with the meaning of the concubine, it is better to have more than one thing." ”
The two of them walked for a few more moments, and then they pressed the head of the cloud and landed in a mountain stream.
Miao Yan looked at her surroundings. I couldn't help but sigh and said, "This is it." I came here once, and although the environment has changed a lot, I remember this mountain stream. ”
She stretched out her slender jade hand and pointed into the distance, and said, "Husband, can you see that road? That is the only way to Ziyun Peak." The rules of each session of the Xianlin Festival must stop here, and no longer fly in the clouds. It is necessary to walk up to show respect for the masters of the past generations. Let's just walk up from here. ”
Xiao Lei glanced at the 'mountain road' that Miao Yan pointed to, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You mean there?"
It turns out that next to this mountain stream, there is indeed a peak, majestic and dangerous, like a pen, straight into the clouds, the mountain peak is steep, there is no road at all. Looking up from below, I saw a steep rock, but it was only about a few hundred meters above that I faintly saw green.
There is also a strange thing about this peak, that is, it is narrow at the bottom and wide at the top! It is like an upside-down cone, and the bottom is hundreds of meters of bare rocks, but the top has become lush and densely covered with vegetation.
And the only so-called 'road' that Miao Yan refers to is actually an almost completely ninety-degree ramp!
Where's the road? Just barely a few gaps in the rocks. It's just barely going up.
"This road is called 'Ladder to the Sky', you see, this was originally a cliff, but legend has it that when the first fairy forest event was held, several masters from all over the world gathered here in Kunlun Mountain. One of the skills of everyone to gamble and fight is to climb up with bare hands without any wind control skills from here. At the beginning, everyone said that they were not allowed to fly or jump, and they had to 'walk' up step by step! Look at the gaps on the top, they were the master who walked in the first place in those years, and he stepped out with his own feet all the way! Legend has it that the master man, whose body was almost parallel to the ground in those days, did not need the assistance of his hands, and his big sleeves fluttered, so he 'walked' all the way! Legend has it that with every step he took, his feet were deeply embedded in the rocks...... If you simply step on a rock, then it is not surprising. However, with every step he took, although his feet were deeply sunk into the rock, the rock was not broken! On the contrary, like soft soil, he was 'squeezed' out of footprints one by one! Later generations of masters once counted, from here to above, he walked a total of two hundred and forty-six steps! They were all deeply imprinted on the rocks, and they are still very clear! Miao Yan slowly introduced, her eyes showing a little respect, and sighed: "Thinking about the demeanor of that master back then, it is amazing!"
Xiao Lei's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said: "The master back then, how long did he walk from bottom to top?"
Miao Yan showed a smile of appreciation in her eyes, and said, "Husband is really smart......! Legend has it that the master walked for a full hour from the bottom to the top!"
"An hour?" Xiao Lei's face finally showed shock!
In fact, if the master only used a pillar of incense or a cup of tea, then Xiao Lei would not be surprised.
You know, since you don't need the ability to soar the clouds and fog, go up step by step, then all your own mana cultivation, the more solid the foundation is, the deeper the mana, then you can walk on the ground as if you have taken root under your feet!
But there's a trick to this, that is: the shorter the time, the more advantageous!
This operation mana, the whole * a mouthful of natal true yuan, that is, the so-called breath of true qi, Taoists pay attention to the practice of qi to nourish the spirit, if this qi is not cultivated to the home, then it will not work.
To use the simplest analogy, a weightlifter in modern society asked him to lift a 100-kilogram pole bell and hold back his strength, and in one fell swoop, there was naturally no problem, but at most he lifted that short moment. If he were to stand still for an hour or two with the pole bell in his hand, it would be absolutely impossible! That is to say, the longer he lifted the ground, the more powerful it became!!
In the same way, it's like in 100 meters and so on, everybody can run all the way down at the speed of a sprint, but what about 10,000 meters? Can you still run at the speed of a sprint in one go?
Therefore, the master back then was powerful here!
Those who can participate in the Xianlin Festival must not be mediocre, and they are naturally a little capable. From the perspective of the mana cultivation of a master cultivator, if he wants to lift a breath of natal vitality, in a short period of time, rushing up in one breath, although it is a little difficult, it is not too difficult. But it is necessary for people to carry a mouthful of natal vitality, the vitality is not discharged, and the mana is not dispersed, so that they insist on the most peak state for an hour...... That kind of cultivation is enough to laugh at the world!
Even if it's a small mine now. Although his mana cultivation three years ago had already ranked among the top in the world, plus three years of training in the Bodhi Patriarch's sect, and he had obtained the immortal golden body of the red bead, so many conditions added together, he didn't dare to say that he was completely sure that he could do this!
Xiao Lei glanced at Miao Yan with a smile: "Good Miao Yan, then when you participated in the grand event, how did you go to the ground?"
Miao Yan pursed her lips and smiled: "I didn't have a great mana back then, and I only lasted for one meal. It's already the limit. However, it has been thousands of years since the first Immortal Forest Festival, and not many people have cared about this rule back then...... So now everyone doesn't care much about how much time they can walk, they often come early to go up first, and come late to go up, and some people simply don't need to climb with their feet, and simply soar all the way to the top of the mountain. This allusion is just a legend left behind, and it is no longer used as the official competition standard for the Xianlin Festival. ”
Xiao Lei pursed his lips and said, "No wonder today, the cultivation world is not as good as the generation. The people's hearts are not ancient, the ancient gods and goddesses have come out in large numbers, and all sects have masters who have ascended. To this day, it is rare to hear of any faction that has soared. Alas, that master back then, with such a mana cultivation, I guess he must have broken through the barrier and attained the right result, which is the realm of immortals. There are only two or three people who have achieved positive results and can soar today. ”
Miao Yan sighed and said, "Yes, compared to the ancient era when there were many gods and men, the current Xuanmen has degraded too much. ”
While the two were talking, they heard a voice behind them cheering loudly: "It's a good place! The people's hearts are not ancient, and the Xuanmen is weak." We cultivators are working hard to revitalize my Huaxia Immortal Arts!"
The voice was loud and thick, slightly old, Xiao Lei Miaoyan looked back, only to see a tall figure striding from afar. The man was extremely tall, and from a distance he saw that he had long, half-black hair and a thick beard, two feet away. When I got closer, I felt that this person was even more extraordinary. But I saw that his face was like copper, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he was a little old and had a lot of age. But the real age, then I don't know, anyway, cultivators live a long life.
Looking at what he was wearing, it was even more strange, dressed in coarse linen, but as if he was a farmer living in ancient times, with a wide yellow belt around his waist. The trouser cuffs rolled up, revealing a pair of hairy calves and a pair of bare feet. He had a pair of large hands with thick bones, as if he had been doing rough work for many years, and what was even more peculiar was that he also carried a burden behind him, and many things were inserted diagonally in centimeters, including axes, rulers, wooden saws, and so on. It looks like a carpenter.
"The two of you are polite!" the man walked up to him and laughed: "I was abrupt, but I couldn't help but interject when I heard this little friend's incisive words." He laughed loudly and wiped his long beard at the same time: "Little Lao'er Tianjimen Jiang Daya!" Just because he has a big beard, most of the immortal forest Taoist friends call Xiao Lao'er a big beard, haha! Dare to ask the two immortal friends which sect and which school?"
Miao Yan squinted her eyes at this person, and said with a smile: "It turned out that the head of the Tianji Gate has arrived, well, Your Excellency's surname is Jiang, so it must be the master of this generation of Tianji Gate?" After a pause, he couldn't help but sigh: "In this way, the ghost workers of the previous generation of the sect masters of your sect must have gone to the immortal ......" After that, he shook his head and sighed.
The bearded Jiang had a grim face when he heard this, and he took a closer look at Miao Yan, and when he saw Miao Yan's stunning appearance, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised, and then said cautiously: "Yes, the previous generation of sect masters of this sect has passed away a hundred years ago...... Dare to ask if this fairy is ......"
Miao Yan smiled faintly and said, "I had a meeting with the previous master of your sect at the last immortal forest event. It's a pity that the old man has gone, and I can't see the wonderful magic skills of the old man Ghost Gongzi anymore, alas, alas!" She immediately took half a step back, stood behind Xiao Lei, and said with a smile: "This is my husband, surnamed Lei." Our husband and wife are just immortals. Sects, don't talk about it. ”
The bearded Jiang looked more and more respectful.
Participated in the last Xianlin Festival?
Isn't that a predecessor?
Jiang Bearded Seeing Miao Yan's cold and glamorous appearance, shaking like a fairy, Jiang Bearded couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and suddenly remembered someone!
Immediately, he secretly said in his heart: "No, no, that person has always been dressed in white, and this girl is dressed in black, so naturally it is not her."
Xiao Lei participated in this event for the first time, and he was quite interested, and said with a smile: "This Jiang ......"
"Daoyou just call me Jiang with a big beard. ”
"Ahem...... Xiao Lei smiled: "Well, Old Man Jiang, you are also here to participate in the Immortal Forest Festival?"
"Hehe, I'm ashamed. Jiang Dabeard showed a trace of pride in his eyes, and then said with a straight face: "Originally, a few months ago, Monk Guzhong sent a disciple to send a mystical jade plate to the sect, thinking that it was for the immortal master, but the immortal master has been immortal for a hundred years, and this quota will be filled by the little old man, ashamed, ashamed!"
Later, Miao Yan smiled a little, looked at Xiao Lei and said softly: "Husband, you must not know about this Tianji Gate." They were disciples of Lu Ban during the Warring States Period, and legend has it that Lu Ban created this heavenly machine gate. Lu Ban is the ancestor of the world's craftsmen, and then ascended to heaven as an immortal, and naturally passed down the immortal law, but when it comes to this Tianji Gate, the most commendable thing is the learning of their organ news, which is really unparalleled in the world, the creation of the land, and the essence of all things!"
When Jiang Dabeard heard this, he laughed: "The fairy has won the prize! I Jiang Dabeard understands very well in my heart, is the position of these five high-ranking people, I don't even think about Tianjimen in another thousand years, it's just this grand event once in three hundred years, I must always come to see it, otherwise I will cut wood at home all day long, sit in the well and watch the sky, wouldn't I lack knowledge? Speaking of the learning of this organ information, it is just a craft passed down by our ancestors, and we as disciples can only do our best to pass it on. ”
Xiao Lei nodded, with his cultivation, from the Jiang beard floating from afar just now, as well as the divine light in his eyes, he could already see that he was only at the middle level of the cultivation period. Naturally, I'm not good at spells, but I'm here to see this fairy forest event. But since he is the descendant of Lu Ban, he must have his own mastery, that is a certainty.
As he was talking, he suddenly heard a long howl in the sky!
