Chapter 6: Falling off the cliff
After Lao Huang got rid of the giant snake, Zhang Fengmian's next road to the top was much smoother. He finally made it to the top of the mountain, and to his surprise, he found that it was a flat area.
A few weeds were blown by the wind in the rising morning light, swaying slightly, leisurely. The crimson sunlight sprinkled all over the cliffs, shining warmly on people's bodies.
The fatigue formed by Zhang Feng's sleepy night of rushing dissipated a little in the sunlight. Rushing to his face, there was a trace of salty aura on the sea in the distance, constantly blowing on his body, which made him feel a hundred times more energetic.
But Zhang Fengmian didn't have time to calm down and feel this strange feeling carefully. Now he only felt stunned.
Although Zhang Fengmian has seen little of the world, he still knows what Lingzhi looks like. However, he looked around the top of the peak for a week, but found no trace of the existence of Lingzhi.
"What's going on?"
Zhang Fengmian was a little anxious, without Ganoderma lucidum, there was no way to go to the pharmacy to exchange for healing medicine, and there was no way to rescue Li Nian.
Thinking of this, Zhang Fengmian's heart beat hard.
"Impossible, there will be!"
Zhang Fengmian walked around on the top of a cliff that was only half the size of his house, leaning down and searching every corner, but he never found anything.
He searched almost all over the top of the peak. But there was one place he seemed to have missed.
Zhang Fengmian turned his head to look at the almost vertical cliff facing Moon Bay and the vast sea on the north side of the Absolute Peak, swallowed his saliva, and slowly walked over. He looked down at the mist-shrouded stone wall below, and in the white mist, there was a particularly red streak that stood out.
That is the fire Lingzhi, this extremely rare and rare spiritual plant, itself has immeasurable value, and now it grows on this cliff, bathed in majestic spiritual energy for I don't know how many years, it is very likely to have become an immortal herb with primary spiritual wisdom.
But Zhang Fengmian still didn't understand its value at this time, but he just knew that this thing was very valuable. In order to go down and pick the spirit plant, Zhang Fengmian groped around, and found a few dry vines, one end tied to his waist, and the other end tied to a protruding sharp stone on the top of the mountain. Then, he gripped the vine and slid it down.
Due to the long-term baptism of water vapor on the sea, some slippery moss grows on the rock walls of the extreme peak. Zhang Fengmian had to slow down his speed in order to stabilize his body.
After a long climb, Zhang Fengmian gradually approached the Ganoderma lucidum. After finally being able to meet, Zhang Fengmian unceremoniously stretched out his hand.
Seeing that the elixir was about to arrive, but suddenly, the lingzhi was windless, and after a twist, the stem jumped out of the hard stone wall. Its root system is like countless interlaced legs, firmly attached to the stone wall, flexible and strong, Zhang Fengmian reached out to grab it several times, but all failed.
"Damn, what a hell!" Zhang Fengmian was surprised and resentful. The left hand, which had been hanging on the vine for a long time, gradually felt like it was about to lose its strength, and the green tendons on the arm flared up. Zhang Fengmian can't hold on for long, and if he continues to delay like this, once he can't grasp the only "life-saving straw", he will fall from the top of this mountain and never recover.
After Zhang Fengmian tried again and failed, he carefully observed the condition of the stone wall, there was a bulge over there, if he used the right force, he could jump over and suppress the Ganoderma lucidum firmly.
"Fight!" Zhang Fengmian gritted his teeth and shook the vines, wanting to swing himself over. After several thrilling failures, Zhang Fengmian finally seized the opportunity and jumped up. The moment his hands broke away from the vines, his whole body flew out and slammed into the stone wall.
The smooth stone wall was difficult to settle on, but fortunately, Zhang Fengmian grabbed the bulge in time and pressed the Ganoderma lucidum on his chest without danger.
But when he tried to grab the vine and climb back, the vine was cut off by a sharp stone.
Seeing that there was no way out, Zhang Fengmian was worried when he heard a familiar roar from the top of the mountain. Zhang Fengmian looked up and found that Lao Huang appeared at the right time again.
Zhang Fengmian saw the hope, and excitedly shouted to Lao Huang: "Lao Huang, quickly find me two long vines, I want to climb up!" ”
Zhang Fengmian and Lao Huang have known each other for a long time, one person and one dog, and they have already cultivated a tacit understanding. He believed that Lao Huang understood what he meant, but this time, Lao Huang did not listen to Zhang Fengmian's words.
Lao Huang whimpered under his voice on the cliff, turning anxiously in circles, and when he looked at the sky to the south of the mountain, there was a fear and deep worry in his eyes.
Zhang Fengmian looked at the anxious old Huang on the top of the mountain suspiciously, and there was a faint sound of swords, guns, swords and halberds colliding in his ears, and gradually, a bad feeling rose in his heart.
As the sound of the battle got closer and closer, a gust of colorful wind suddenly blew on the top of the mountain, which was fierce, and the flying sand and rocks slanted down like a Milky Way waterfall in the sky, sweeping towards Zhang Fengmian.
Zhang Fengmian had no choice but to stick to the stone wall tightly, grasping the raised stones on both sides with both hands, and did not dare to move.
In the midst of the noise, Zhang Fengmian heard Lao Huang's hostile and vigilant roar on the top of the cliff, as well as an eerie sneer.
"Thank you so much to the Daoist friends of the Shinto Sect, you kindly helped me and others to steal the spirit treasure, and even kindly sent it to the Absolute Peak. The righteousness of the Shinto sect and the Taoist friends should be unforgettable. ”
It was a man's cold voice, with a confident momentum in his tone.
"You guys are really shameless, you guys are on a first-come, first-served basis. I didn't expect to use this kind of calculation to kill people and sell more goods! ”
This familiar voice is the man in black. Zhang Fengmian's heart suddenly tightened, how could the man in black be chased here, is Li Nian okay?
But before Zhang Fengmian could think about it, the man's cold voice just now came again.
"Alas, Daoyou said this. It's a skill to steal it, isn't it a skill if I can grab it? Besides, the rule of each according to his ability is still useful now, as long as you can escape from my hands again, I will definitely not be entangled again. ”
The grim man smiled and continued, "But the question is, can you?" ”
The man in black gasped, and after a moment of silence, he changed the subject: "It's just an imitation remnant sword, it's worth your Jade Xiao Sect's great effort?" Do you not hesitate to completely stiffen your relationship with my Shinto sect? ”
"If it's really just an imitation of a broken sword, whether or not it can lead to the birth of a craftsman, it's certainly not worth it. After all, it's just a high-level spiritual weapon, and it's not like we can't afford it. But the point is that this sword is not ordinary, its value is much more important than a craftsman. ”
The man in black was puzzled and said, "What do you mean?" ”
The cold man smiled and said calmly: "Anyway, Daoyou is about to become an immortal, so I might as well explain it to you later." According to the reliable information obtained by our sect, there is a great possibility that this remnant sword is the sword of the person from thousands of years ago, and it is the real artifact that has the strongest sword spirit in the world and has not been shaken for tens of thousands of years......"
The cold man paused, his tone trembling with excitement.
"You must also know how fierce the battle to the sky was a thousand years ago. That person is just alone, only a sword to accompany him, but he can beat the gods and Buddhas of the sky, and no one can defeat him, if it weren't for the fact that they were seconded from another heavy heaven to help, now the first heavy heaven should be the world we are waiting for. ”
"But that person is dead, and even the divine soul has been sealed in the underworld by the soul suppression nail, and there will be no reincarnation forever. The sword spirit of that sword was also heavily forbidden and cast on the ......"
"Where?" The grim man looked at the man in black with a smile, as if to encourage him to continue.
"Cast in EAST!"
"Yes!" The cold man clapped his hands with satisfaction and said, "I have invested in the East Corner Continent, this East Corner Continent under our feet." The first person to discover it was a fool who didn't understand its value and sold it cheaply. went around and entered the treasury of the Xuanwu Kingdom, but none of those fools with eyes and beads could see the difference between this remnant sword. In this way, it was given to a newly promoted craftsman, and then the craftsman gave it to the local vulgar and wealthy merchant. I thought that you were a knowledgeable person, but I didn't expect it...... You're so rude too."
A flash of light flashed in the cold man's hand, and a long sword suddenly appeared.
"In that case, it is best for this kind of treasure to fall into my hands, so as not to bury its value." After finishing speaking, he stabbed out with a sword, and the cold sword qi pierced the heart of the man in black like a white rainbow piercing through the sun.
At the critical moment of life and death, the man in black did not dare to hide. He first threw out all the talismans on his waist, and then the corresponding positions of the five internal organs on his body were circulated with five-colored fluorescents, turning into five magic weapons of different shapes, smashing towards the sword qi that was like a rainbow.
"In the five realms of Yunling, Daoyou's vision is not very good, but his cultivation is quite powerful. However, how can it be compared to my Quenching Yuan Realm. Daoyou still obediently hand over the remnant sword, I can make your death a little more happy. ”
"You're dreaming!" The man in black naturally wouldn't give up an immortal soldier for nothing. In order to escape from the cold man's hands, he actually forced out a mouthful of essence blood and sprinkled it on the five magic weapons before.
The magic weapon suddenly shone brightly, and its power increased again, and there was a faint tendency to suppress that sword qi.
"Hmph, it's not enough!"
The cold man's left hand swept across the slender sword body, and the sharp sword qi burst out, crisscrossing and crisscrossing, like a large net of sword qi, enveloping the man in black.
The man in black is at the end of his rope at this time, and he no longer has any hole cards. He looked back at the abyss behind him, and then stared at the cold man who wanted to approach him step by step.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said angrily, "You want this sword, don't you?" Then let's see if you, a person who is less than Jindan, can catch up with the speed at which it falls! ”
Then he put his hand out of the cliff and let go when he sneered. Suddenly, a white light flashed, and the arm of the man in black was broken off at the shoulder. Before he could react to the pain of his broken arm, two more sword lights struck, cutting him off at the waist.
Seeing the dead body of the man in black falling down the cliff, the cold man said lightly: "This is not bothering Daoyou." ”
He stretched out his hand and restrained the wooden box that was originally tied to the back of the man in black, and was about to open it, when suddenly an earthy yellow figure appeared, bit the wooden box, and then fell to the bottom of the cliff.
——--------------
Zhang Fengmian, who was originally attached to the cliff wall, saw the broken body of the man in black, and slowly breathed a sigh in his heart, but when he saw the familiar earthy yellow figure falling down after him, he panicked instantly.
At that moment, Zhang Fengmian had no time to care about his own safety, whether Lingzhi would run away. He subconsciously pounced and grabbed one of Lao Huang's dog paws tightly. In Lao Huang's eyes that were quite happy and excited, they fell down the mountain together into the clouds.
"It's over, it's really going to be over this time!"
