Volume 2, The Journey of the Husband and Gentleman Chapter 34, The Sea of Fire
The girl had come to the shore at some point.
Looking at the girl, thinking of the experience along the way and the previous words, Bai Jiu said clearly: "I see." ”
Ximen Ye smiled: "Is it that I don't match the rumors?" ”
Bai Jiu didn't know who he was mentioning, shook his head and said, "No, just a little surprised." ”
"It is rumored that Brother Bai never practiced when he entered Yong'an, and it has only been a year now, but he has already reached the realm of divine deficiency, and Tianyu was defeated by Brother Bai in the Hidden Dragon Test, as well as the monk of Wuwu Temple from the West."
Bai Jiu became famous in the Qianlong Trial, and his story was widely circulated among the younger generation, and naturally won the admiration of others, and Ximen Night was no exception.
Bai Jiu was silent for a moment, and then said, "I have a problem with my body. ”
Ximen Ye didn't think so, and said with a smile: "The body of a genius is naturally different from that of ordinary people. Uncle Xiao always said a word, although I don't think it's good, but it makes some sense here. If hard work is useful, what is there a genius to do? ”
This sentence is really a hooligan's word, this legendary junior uncle of the Sword Sect, can he still say such a thing?
Aren't legends all dyed with red dust, and the truth is like an immortal guiding the way?
"There are too many people in this world who have secrets, but Uncle Xiao is a great man with the world."
"There are secrets in the Tang Tombs, which are related to the world, the world, and even more so to the young people of our generation. From the Tang Emperor who was trapped for a hundred years and did not die, it can be seen that the secrets are not only on the surface, the other half of the Tang Tomb on the other side of the river, maybe there will be an answer there. There should have been more than one spiritual rain decades ago, and there was such a strange appearance in heaven and earth a hundred years ago, immortality? Elixir? What is the Heavenly Dao that falls with the spiritual rain? And Brother Bai, your body should be related to that spiritual rain! ”
"This time I came here with my junior sister, it was the explanation of the little uncle, there are many hidden, I hope Brother Bai doesn't mind."
Bai Jiu didn't know what to say, because as Simon Ye said, there were too many secrets here, and he himself was a secret.
"This time the Tang Tomb was opened, and among the three dynasties, Xili and Beiyan were all prepared to come, and they had more purpose to act. Only you are Dayu, under the banner of adventure, but in fact, it is to train young people, and there is no purpose at all. ”
"The Meizu who left the west, the strongest young soldier in the north who came from Beiyan, and you are the only ones who are Dayu, and the ones who come are really harmless."
The person who spoke was a young girl, and her tone was calm, but her tone was somewhat sarcastic.
Bai Jiu smiled a little bitterly, a lot of things had happened along the way, he had seen those people in the northern country, he had also seen the cultivators of Dayu die in the Tang Tomb, and he had even seen the Liyang Mei Clan that made the giant snake that had not died for a hundred years have to hide. He thought about this problem, and Tang Chun also mentioned it, and he didn't know what position he was in now when he came to the Dayu Imperial Court, or maybe they knew that the opening of Tang Ling was originally a game within a game.
It's just that all of this is not so important anymore.
...........
In the distance, light rose one after another over the long river.
The three of them looked over and saw that on the bank of the river in the distance, countless cultivators had begun to cross the river, and those rays of light were the exercises or magic weapons they used.
The wind and dust have dispersed, Tangling has returned to its usual brightness, life has to go on, and things have to be done.
Having escaped the Tang Tomb's accident, since there is no danger to life, and those puppet dead soldiers are gone, then the expedition will naturally continue.
What is on the other side of the river? They weren't alone.
A brilliant white light floated from the shore and landed on the other side of the river like dancing snowflakes.
Simon looked there and was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's go." ”
The white light came from somewhere on the riverbank, like a snowflake like a giant peacock's tail feather.
Above the white light, there were many people in white standing, and there was a man and woman standing in the forefront, with fluttering white skirts and sassy white armor.
The people of the north have crossed the river.
Bai Jiu looked at the white light and sighed with some emotion in his heart, if it was really as Tang Chun said, the young man in white armor was Chao Li. It is a pity to be able to earn the strongest reputation of being young and strong with Simon Yeyi now, and to be trapped by love.
The purpose of leaving the Meizu in the west is very clear, in this lost Tang Tomb, to find a way of immortality for the Empress Liyang, who was running out of time at that time. So what are the people of the Northland for? With the temperament of the Emperor of Northern Yan, his daughter is the elder, and if he wants to enter the Tang Tomb, it is probably the idea of the princess of the Northern Kingdom.
Sword light rose one after another on the riverbank, and the cultivators of each family began to show their magical powers, crossing the river and heading to the other bank.
Ximen Ye stretched out his hand and threw the sword in the air, and the girl opened the umbrella in her hand.
The clear light rose from the riverbank, and the sword momentum rose immediately, and a scorching breath instantly enveloped the riverbank, and it was clear that the sun was shining, but it seemed like a sunset.
His figure turned into a red light on the surface of the river in the evening glow, and he reached the other side of the river in an instant.
The girl jumped into the air, and saw a cold wind coming from the river, and the black robe swayed in the air, like a black flower dancing, and drifted away with the wind, and fell on the other side of the river. It looks just right, just right.
Watching the two of them cross the river, Bai Jiu also set off.
The sword light of the dive abyss came out of the sheath, and the river bank suddenly had a fresh breeze, bringing a cold fragrance, and Bai Jiu's body followed the wind, carrying the fragrance of flowers to sway up, turning into the surface of the long river, and falling into the opposite bank.
The girl crossed the river with light skills, while Ouyang Luo and Bai Jiu used sword momentum.
Seeing this scene, Ximenye's expression also showed a look of surprise, and even the girl who had always been cold was a little surprised.
It seems very simple to cross the river with a sword, but in fact, it has very strict requirements for me, and the person who uses the sword needs to have a fine grasp of the details. They were surprised that if it was really as rumored that Bai Jiu had only practiced for about a year, and his cultivation of the way of the sword was even less pitiful, just so that he was even stronger than the disciples of the Sword Sect who cultivated in the mountain gate.
For himself, whether it is the rapid improvement of his cultivation realm or kendo cultivation, Bai Jiu's understanding has always been a problem with his own system-the Black Sea hidden in the small world. However, Ximen Ye doesn't think so, external forces are only external forces after all, no matter how hard ordinary people practice, they still can't catch up with the casual cultivation of geniuses, Bai Jiu is such a person. It's just that Ximen Ye doesn't understand, does Bai Jiu himself know that he is the so-called genius?
..........
This is a land that is barren compared to green hills.
There are no hills, no peaks, no trees, no grass, just a few patches of sallow dead grass, struggling to live on the land.
The long river runs between heaven and earth, separating yin and yang.
One side is green mountains and green waters, and the other side is barren grass and barrenness.
The world in the distance is endless, but it can also be seen through at a glance, a gray line is horizontal in the distance, separating the heaven and the earth, I don't know what it is.
Walking towards the gray line from here, I don't know how many miles apart, I don't know if it's an illusion or the backdrop of the earth, the sky here is much darker than the green mountains.
"Sure enough."
Simon squatted down and touched the ground beneath him.
As soon as the loess was picked up in his hand, it dissipated like yellow sand, shattered into countless fine particles, and turned into a cloud of smoke and dust.
Bai Jiu didn't understand a little.
"The land is hot, and it's not scorching, it's residual warmth."
Bai Jiu frowned, and then looked at the sky.
I saw that the sun was still shining, but for some reason it didn't seem to have the slightest warmth, and the sky was gray and cloudy, as if covered with a veil.
The sun is not strong, why is the earth scorched like this, and even the sky is no longer the same across the river?
"The Central Plains pays attention to feng shui, especially the dignitaries and nobles, since the Li family is a royal family, the Tang Tomb is a mausoleum, so naturally it attaches great importance to it. This time, it seems that there is a bit of yin and yang of the Daomen. ”
"The sun is blazing in the green mountains, and the twilight in the barren land, but what is the truth of this?"
Bai Jiu looked at the gray line in the distance, and there was no end in sight left and right, like parallel peaks.
"Daomen cultivation has always pursued feathering and ascending, and yin and yang are even more balanced, and after death, in a feng shui cave, you can benefit future generations and accumulate luck for future generations. One yin and one yang, one life and one death, each has its own way and fulfills its duties. “
"But it's a bit far-fetched to say the same as Feng Shui Daomen, there are too many unexpected things along the way, so let's go there first."
The girl put away her umbrella and pointed into the distance.
At this time, many people had already come to the other side of the river, and after a period of confusion, they all began to set off towards the distant heaven and earth.
Ximen Ye smiled: "Senior sister is right. ”
.............
The sky was getting grayer and darker, but there were no clouds, like eyes stained with wind and sand.
As we went deeper, the temperature got higher and higher.
Even if you don't crouch down, you can feel the scorching heat coming from the ground, as if something is burning beneath the ground.
However, the gray line is still in the sky, and it seems that it will never be reached.
In the barren but vast land, people stopped one after another.
What's going on here?
Bai Jiu stretched out his hand and stopped the two.
"What's going on?" The girl asked.
Simon also looked at him at night.
In the feeling of the two of them, the scorching earth under their feet and the gray line in the distance were no different from before.
Bai Jiu said: "Something is wrong. ”
He crouched down, pulled out of the abyss and plunged into the ground.
In the next moment, a crimson color instantly filled everyone's eyes, and an extremely hot wave of fire rushed to the face, and countless red rays of light rushed out from the ground, and instantly came to the ground.
The three of them hurriedly jumped backwards.
The barren earth in front of him turned fiery red, and the flames burned on it so hard that it seemed to reach into the sky. The sky was even darker, like a huge hat over the land.
The heat distorted the line of sight, and in front of him was a sea of burning fire.
The dust that had accumulated on the land for 10,000 years was scorched by the flames, and then turned into invisible dust and disappeared. The black rocks were revealed, but because of the high temperature, they became more and more fiery red, and the temperature around them rose suddenly.
In such a scorching heat, ordinary people would suffer severe burns and then die, and cultivators would not be able to hold on for too long when they ran their True Qi.
The faces of the three of them were a little pale, and no one could imagine what kind of high temperature it was. It's just that fortunately, none of them were in that sea of fire, and Bai Jiu stopped them and let them just be on the periphery of that sea of fire.
The girl didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly opened the umbrella behind her and held it above the heads of the three of them.
The scorching sensation disappeared in an instant, and the world under the umbrella was a refreshing coolness.
Simon glanced at her and made sure there should be no problem, so he ignored it.
Bai Jiu looked at the paper umbrella with old meanings, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, thinking to himself what kind of umbrella this was? It was easy to hide the qi and block the scorching heat of this sea of fire.
The rock was constantly burning, getting more and more red, and even the edges showed signs of melting.
There was a tremor in the earth, and the black rocks made a crisp sound.
The three of them searched for prestige and saw an unbelievable scene.
