Chapter 20: The Barriers
It was a very simple question, before Xue Jiao and Qing'er accepted the cultivation, Elder Taishang had persuaded them, and at that time they did not hesitate too much, and there was only one thought in their hearts, that is, to accompany Wang Lung into the miracle space and stay by Wang Long's side.
Is the question very simple? Seeing that the other party is not asking casually, is there any mystery in this? Xue Jiao's heart was full of doubts, she did not give an answer immediately, but seeing Qing'er's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, she understood that this little girl's mind was too simple, Xue Jiao was afraid that Qing'er would regret it after giving an answer casually now, so she reached out and pulled the corner of Qing'er's clothes.
Qing'er has never been assertive, before she met Xue Jiao, every word that the old ghost and Wang Lung said could determine her direction, although she had lived with Xue Jiao in Jinan for a period of time, but her personality had basically been stereotyped, and it was not as simple as overnight to change, I felt that Xue Jiao was pulling the corners of her clothes, and what she wanted to say could only be stopped.
Xue Jiao's small actions couldn't hide from anyone present, Sun Xing didn't blame it, but smiled at Xue Jiao and said: "I said, you must think clearly before telling me, I will stay here for the next few days, you can come to me at any time when you want to understand, even if you don't tell me, it doesn't matter, as long as you understand in your hearts." ”
Qing'er just hummed, but Xue Jiao bowed down to thank her.
After talking about the situation of Xue Jiao's two daughters, there was no need for them to serve any longer, and Xue Tian waved his hand to let them retreat temporarily.
After Xue Jiao and the others left, the old ghost Xueren couldn't help but ask: "I don't know what the Great Elder meant by asking Qing'er what they mean by this, I feel that this question is very simple, their cultivation is nothing more than wanting to follow Xiaolong, and they don't want to be a burden to him." ”
"Ha Lu Ha...... You!" Sun Xing didn't explain anything, but pointed at the old ghost with his hand.
The old ghost was full of doubts, and turned his head to look at his brother.
"The Great Elder's question must have a deep meaning. Now that I think about it, I have some doubts. Xuetian's answer was neither salty nor light, and there was no answer at all.
Sun Xing looked at Xue Tian and the two brothers, his black eyes flashed with a faint golden light, making it impossible for others to look at him.
In just a moment, Sun Xing shook his head and said lightly: "My old grandson is a million epochs in the outer battlefield. I remember the first time I saw Yuan Zu, his old man also asked me this question, I was very frivolous at that time, and I was very disdainful of this question, but for many years, whenever I recalled this sentence, I knew that I regretted it. ”
Hearing this, the Xue Tian brothers were slightly stunned, they didn't know that Lu Dao Sun Xing had such an experience. It seems that their understanding is too shallow, although they are cultivators in the god transformation period, but compared to the experience of the Great Elder, they are still children.
"What are you cultivating for?" sigh...... Before becoming a cultivator, I wanted to become a cultivator, and when I became a cultivator, I wanted to make a name for myself in the sect, and as my cultivation continued to improve, my goals became more and more ambitious. When is it a head?What is the ultimate dream in my heart?What do I want to cultivate?" Sun Xing muttered to himself.
Hearing Sun Xingyi's words, the two brothers looked at each other. Their hearts were full of astonishment, even the Great Elder didn't know what he wanted to cultivate for, so what about them? Now that they think about it, it seems that they have no goal, their path is very bleak, and their future is bleak......
"Ahem......" A light cough woke up the two Xue Tian brothers, who had just been caught up in it because of a sentence and couldn't extricate themselves. If it weren't for the Great Elder by his side, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Cold sweat soaked their clothes on their backs, and the two brothers calmed down on a snowy day, closed their eyes and breathed before they returned to normal.
"Thank you Great Elder for being vigilant, otherwise ......" Xue Tian and the two brothers stood up and bowed to Sun Xing. Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Sun Xing raising his hand.
"Sit down and talk, I remember that when you were with me, you didn't have so many stinky problems, why are you learning to be sour and rancid now. Seeing that the two of them were still polite on a snowy day, Sun Xing was very unhappy.
In the face of Sun Xing's scolding, the Xuetian brothers could only hide their embarrassment with laughter.
Looking at the other party's performance, Sun Xing also shook his head slightly helplessly and said: "I was the same as you back then, and when I asked Yuan Zu for the second time to solve this question, I was also deeply trapped in it, and I fell into it for a longer time, fortunately Yuan Zu woke me up, otherwise I would fall into an endless nightmare, unless I can figure it out, I will not be able to wake up in eternal life." ”
"Ahh
"It's okay, they're not cultivators yet, so they won't be as deep as we are. ”
After listening to Sun Xing's words, Xueren breathed a sigh of relief, Qing'er was brought up by him, although he only had a relationship of more than 20 years, this family affection could not be extinguished, Qing'er and Wang Lung were not the same, he loved each other as his own granddaughter, and his attitude towards Wang Lung was only known to him.
After a moment of silence, Sun Xing and the three of them did not continue to discuss this issue, and after the atmosphere eased slightly, Xue Tian talked to Sun Xing about the other five guardians.
Wang Long, who was squatting on the ground to rest, did not delay for long, there were still fifty kilometers ahead to reach the temple, if there was no obstacle, he could move at full speed, and he could arrive within a minute.
It was impossible to go full speed, and in this place, Wang Lung had used full speed except when he was escaping, and the speed was very slow at all times, and this time was no exception.
Maintain a relatively low speed and move forward slowly, this speed is very slow for Wang Lung now, but it is only relative, it is impossible for him to reach it before he cultivates, a hundred meters per second, even if it is a famous martial arts master on the earth, he can only follow his ass and eat ashes.
Half an hour later, Wang Lung had advanced about twenty kilometers, very close, and he had not found any more villages along the way, and his heart was full of life, could it be that there were no more villages in front of him, and he could go directly to the temple?
Puzzled, Wang Lung continued to move forward, and after about ten minutes he saw several scattered buildings in front of him, each of which was far apart, and he couldn't confirm how many there were, because he couldn't see it clearly at any distance.
What kind of place is this? How can a house occupy a place, and the distance between them is more than a kilometer, the village? No, there is no such layout in other places.
The shape of the house was similar to that of the village that had just fled, and it must be strange that the people who lived here were so close to their gods.
The terrain around here is flat. There was no hill where he could hide, and Wang Lung could only lie on the ground to observe in order not to reveal his whereabouts.
As before, no one was outside the house, and all the buildings in the Underground World were inhabited by villagers, and none of them were idle. There must be someone inside these strange buildings in front of them, but Wang Lung doesn't dare to confirm the identity of the other party now, and he doesn't know what the other party's attitude is.
Looking at the buildings that were more than a kilometer apart, Wang Lung made up his mind that he was still one and a half kilometers away from the front, and if he was moving at full speed, he could completely rush through. It is impossible for this building to live in many people, he doesn't have to worry about being surrounded, the only thing he needs to watch out for is the strength of the villagers living inside, according to his observations along the way, the further inside, the stronger the cultivator.
Hook's strength has reached the soul stage, and if he is unlucky enough to meet a strong person who has cultivated in the distraction period, the probability of being killed is more than nine out of nine. Even if he violated the rules to let Han Yan fight, he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to get out of the way. There wasn't just one house, there were many.
Now there are still twenty-five kilometers away from the temple, if you don't look ahead, Wang Lung is very unwilling, since he has made a decision, he can't retreat, and it is not the cultivator's action to hesitate.
Wang Lung slowly got up. He didn't get up completely, but took the position of a 100-meter athlete to start, and kicked the ground under his feet with both feet, stepping on it even harder, and he was ready to sprint with all his might. I don't want to cause trouble with the start.
Looking down at the position of his feet, and then looking up at the direction of the building in front of him, Wang Lung twisted his eyebrows, gritted his teeth, kicked his left leg hard, and his body rushed forward like lightning.
Boom......
Wang Long, who had just raised his speed, ran out of a distance of one kilometer and was knocked back, it was an invisible barrier, how strong Wang Long's impact was, how heavy it was when it rebounded.
The back of the knocked Wang Long slid against the ground for a long time, the rocks on the ground were crushed into pieces, and a hundred-meter-long chasm was crushed by Wang Lung's body.
Burst......
A mouthful of blood spurted out directly from Wang Lung's mouth, and he was injured, although it was not very serious, but his internal organs were churning in his abdomen, and a lot of blood flowed out of the corners of his mouth.
Getting up from the ground with difficulty, Wang Lung felt sore all over, since he was tempered by the cold rouge, this was the first time he was injured in the real sense, the skin was not damaged in any way, but the internal organs could not be compared with the flesh and skin.
Wang Lung, who had just stood up, didn't bother to check his injuries at all, the clothes on his body had slowly slipped off, and in the direct contact between his back and the ground just now, all the clothes on his body were damaged, leaving only a pair of underwear that could be worn to protect his crotch, and half of his buttocks were exposed.
The war knife lay on the ground and did not move, and the rope that bound the war knife was also broken, Wang Lung picked up the war knife with a short body, raised his left arm to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked ahead.
The moment Wang Lung was bounced away, the villagers in the house were alarmed, in fact, before Wang Lung saw this area, they already knew that Wang Lung was walking towards this place, and the invisible barrier could not only block the invading enemy, but also serve as a barrier between them and the residents of other villages.
Without the instructions of the gods, the invisible barrier would not open on its own, and it was impossible for either Wang Lung or their bodies to step over the barrier, and the barrier was formless and substantial, like a wall of air.
Three, five, seven...... Wang Long stared at the villagers who appeared in front of him, he silently counted the number of the other party in his heart, it was impossible for him to make such a big move without alarming the other party, there was a formation in front of him, he had encountered it more than once in the territory of the old urchin, he didn't think about this problem at all just now, and he couldn't complain about others in his confusion.
Fifteen villagers, it seems that the one in front is the leader, and the cultivation is obviously higher than the others, the feet do not touch the ground between walking, and it turns out that their clothes are in the style of the Qing Dynasty in China, gray long shirts, bald forehead, and a long braid hanging from the back of their heads, although the other villagers are dressed differently from him, but they are all dressed as Han Chinese, and their faces are also normal.
These people should be the powerhouses of the Divine Servant Clan, and it may be the so-called sacrificial identity, and the communication between them and the Heavenly Gods is conveyed by them, Wang Lung is just guessing, and he can't confirm it yet.
Fifteen villagers walked towards Wang Lung in unison, and only stopped very close to the invisible barrier, their expressions unkind, and they were obviously hostile to Wang Lung.
Wang Lung didn't move half a step, a distance of 100 meters is enough to talk to the other party, if he can't talk about fighting, he has the distance to escape, Wang Lung feels that he shouldn't be the leading opponent, the other party looks dangerous, he can't even parry a move in front of the other party, this idea came out of Wang Lung's heart automatically, without any basis.
"I want to see your gods, and I don't know if I can be accommodating. Wang Lung was the first to ask.
"Do you want to see our gods?" said the leader who had been identified by Wang Lung with contempt.
The other party's tone was obviously not good, but Wang Lung was not angry, he had to pass through the barrier if he wanted to see the so-called gods, he didn't have any ability to break through it now, there might be a way for the two brothers to be around, he could only solve the problem through communication.
