Chapter 103: Kunlun Realm
Fortunately, the more than 3,000 steps are not many in the eyes of their immortal cultivators, and the kung fu of a stick of incense will come to an end.
It's just that the further up they go, the mountain peaks in front of them are already white, and everyone knows where the biting chill comes from.
"Snow, it's snowing. Luo Qingshui, who was stepping on the stone steps with his head covered, felt some cold raindrops hit his face, raised his head, and saw snowflakes falling as light as a lady.
One, two, big patches, just like the scenery she saw in her dreams.
The sky seemed to be the mouth of a beast, and the wind swept countless pieces of ice and snow in the air, dancing and curling wildly, and finally falling to the ground one after another, covering this majestic mountain peak with a layer of military clothing.
There were sparse coniferous forests on the side of the road that were gathering together, and at the moment they were also covered in silver, bent and crumbling by the thick white snow. Occasionally, a few snow wolves poked their heads out of the distant mountain forest, snorting hot smoke from their mouths, snorting and sticking out their long tongues. A pair of ice-blue pupils stared vigilantly at their group, and then let out a deep wolf howl, and the entire heaven, earth, and snow-capped mountains collapsed.
Other than that, there was silence, except for the rustling of feet on the snow and the howling of the wind after the snowflakes. There is no trace of mockery, which makes people feel like a world away.
I don't know why, seeing such a beautiful and moving scenery, Luo Qingshui not only felt at ease, but felt like stepping on the tip of his heart. Because she still can't forget the nightmare she had at Genting Palace, it was so real, it really hurt like the snowflakes that fell on her hands.
At this moment, in the crowd, Yan Qingcheng, who was holding a light fan and dressed as a man, looked into the distance, with a charming and gorgeous smile on the corner of his mouth, happy like a child. She had almost forgotten the purpose and reason for her coming to the Tianshan Sect. There are also more and more immortal cultivators who find that this man does not look handsome and chic, but as intoxicating as fine wine.
More than 3,000 stone steps soon came to an end, Gu Qingling stopped his steps, stretched out his finger and pointed forward slightly.
"That's Kunlun Realm. ”
The disciples followed the prestige, and the broken snow was still raging and flying in the white mist, spreading from the sky to the snowfield, and there was no end in sight, hidden by the surging frost.
A huge curtain stood in front of everyone, rippling like a lake, and a faint emerald green light could be seen in it.
But such a beautiful wave is not safe, even Luo Qingshui can feel that there is an extremely strong power hidden on it, as if it is about to tear apart the trespasser at any time.
"This is the barrier that protects the Kunlun Realm. Gu Qingling smiled slightly, stopping the immortal cultivator who wanted to reach out and touch it.
"The barrier of the Kunlun Realm will block all the demons, so that they can't go beyond half a step. Gu Qingling waved his hand, and the curtain slowly faded, not as fierce as before.
"Disciples of the Tianshan Sect, please come in. Gu Qingling glanced at him and asked Ye Tian'an and Qin Shuxing to take them through the enchantment first, while he waited on the side.
Everyone entered one by one, and they finally saw the true fairyland.
"Senior brother, you see that we have passed the second level test!" Luo Qingshui tilted his head and looked at Gu Qingling who was guarding the entrance of the barrier.
He smiled faintly and didn't speak. Because his heart has long been in a mess, it has started since he knew that Luo Qingshui was Yu Ziqing's apprentice.
But knowing that she was Luo Qingshui's apprentice, he still gave him the demon exorcism pill, is this worthy of the dead fat elder brother? So he was silent.
"Hurry up, don't block the door. Luo Tianyang pushed Luo Qingshui behind and pushed her directly into the enchantment, and then glanced at Gu Qingling beside him resentfully, and followed him in.
Yan Jinyu, Yin Qingxia, and Lin Qing also entered the Kunlun realm together.
Only Chen Yifan stopped in front of the junction, he raised his head, and looked at the endless barrier at a glance and froze.
"What, is there any problem?" Gu Qingling asked softly, the masked man in front of him gave him an indescribable familiarity.
"Nothing. Chen Yifan replied lightly, he withdrew his mind and took a step towards the enchantment.
Unharmed, only a trace of unseen fluctuations, like a stone falling into the surface of the lake, causing ripples in circles.
Gu Qingling saw the handsome young man, tied his hair in a bun with a white cloth, held a fan in his hand, and walked swaggeringly. It seems to be deliberately trying to get out of a personable feeling, but accidentally becomes a prodigal child.
He couldn't help but laugh softly, after all these years, she was still so naughty.
"Shi ......" Yan Qingcheng, who was dressed as a man, was about to speak subconsciously, but suddenly realized that he was a man, and hurriedly coughed twice, trying to make his voice more muddy.
"Senior brother, what are you laughing at?" her eyebrows twisted, pretending to be angry.
"It's nothing, I just think you're a little cute, come on in. Gu Qingling smiled slightly, between his own sister, the frost in his heart dissipated instantly, and he could no longer put on a serious face.
However, Yan Chengcheng is a little blindsided, judging from the past two days, isn't Senior Brother Gu very serious and cold on weekdays? How can he have such a tender side? Could it be that he is?
Yan Qingcheng didn't dare to think about it anymore, and hurriedly plunged into the enchantment.
She doesn't care if Gu Qingling is like that, but she is not a man in the first place!
However, he is indeed quite handsome, which is a pity. Yan Tingcheng thought so in his heart.
Gu Qingling saw Yan Qingcheng running into the Kunlun Realm in a panic, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more gorgeous, he straightened his robe, and finally stepped into this Kunlun Realm.
Compared with the ice and snow outside in the Kunlun realm, it was a different scene.
If the outside of this barrier is a year-round cold winter wax moon, wind and snow, then inside this Kunlun realm is the four seasons like spring, birds singing and flowers.
There are mountains and flowing water, there are branches with emerald green branches and leaves, and there are small birds soaring in the sky, chirping, but I don't know how they climbed over this snow-capped mountain.
The sixty immortal cultivators were all stunned, looking at this beautiful landscape.
Hundreds of disciples are practicing swords in the square in front of the door, their movements are uniform, the slogans are earth-shaking, magnificent, and it makes people's blood boil to watch.
Seeing that the group had crossed the barrier of the Kunlun Realm, the disciples put away the swords in their hands and saluted them with fists in unison, as if welcoming the arrival of the newcomers.
"Still stunned, follow me to the third test. Gu Qingling smiled at them and led them up the stone steps by the side of the martial arts training ground.
When outside, those stone steps were covered with a thick layer of snow, and every step you took would sink into your heels. But here, in the gap between the steps, there was grass growing and dark green moss growing all over.
If Gu Qingling hadn't reminded them, they would have almost forgotten that there was a third test.
Mu Ran's immortal cultivators suddenly woke up and hurriedly followed Gu Qingling's footsteps, but their eyes were still lingering on the beautiful trees in the mountains and forests, as well as the Qingyi disciple who practiced swords.
Kunlun Realm is full of outstanding people, and the abundant aura is really not only a legend, every breath here will make people feel a lot happy.
"This is Yunshan Pavilion, the residence of the three elders. Gu Qingling walked up along the martial arts training ground and pointed to a mansion in front of him, which was more like the general's mansion in the imperial city.
"In fact, the Tianshan faction did not have Yunshan Pavilion at the beginning, and it was not until Nangong Quan arrived that there was nowhere to live, so he supervised the construction of such a residence. Gu Qingling explained, like a conscientious tour guide.
"Nangong Quan?" Yan Jinyu followed the disciple behind, and when he heard the name, he frowned slightly and thought about it. Will this Nangong Quan have anything to do with Uncle Qian?
Compared with Genting Palace, this Yunshan Pavilion is more like a palace, after all, it is in the territory of Kunlun. The length and width are more than 100 steps, enough to accommodate thousands of disciples. Just from a distance, it looks elegant, there are bamboo trees and pines poking out of the shallow branches, and there are white plums swaggering in the yard.
In the center, a pavilion-like building that looks like two or three stories tall really looks like an attic. It is surrounded by low bungalows that spread out on both sides, revealing only light green bricks, and it looks like a real rolling mountain.
"The highest in the middle is where the three elders live, and the old man always likes to drink tea and play chess on it, and the chess is still stinky, and he won't recognize it if he loses. Ye Qian'an also bared his teeth and smiled, shaking out all the anger of Nangong Quan's little family.
Gu Qingling smacked his lips and didn't bother with Ye Tian'an, who had a broken mouth, but he was telling the truth.
"Ye Tian'an, are you talking bad about Lao Tzu again?"
A black chess piece shot out of nowhere and slammed into the rocks that paved the steps. The disciples lowered their heads and were surprised to find that the steps in front of them were densely covered with black and white chess pieces. They were neatly arranged in rows, of the same depth, and each one was just sunk into the stone. If the disciples hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have thought that someone had deliberately nailed the chess pieces to it.
How many years of cultivation does it take to have such a superb technique and skillful control of true qi, is this the strength of the three elders of the Tianshan Sect? It is really terrifying.
"I said that my chess skills stink so much, as long as you are a kid, it must be fine. "As soon as the chess pieces sank into the stone, I heard a deep voice shouting angrily, but how can chess skills stink?
Ye Tian'an stuck out his tongue and hurriedly motioned for Gu Qingling to quickly take them and flee from here.
At this moment, in the attic of several floors, Nangong Quanzheng and Sikong Yi were playing chess, but the chessboard was always more white and less black, and the only little black chess pieces were shrunk in a corner of the chessboard, trembling and surrounded by the white army.
Sikong Yi was touching the stubble on his chin thoughtfully, but Nangong Quan, who was holding a sunspot, blew his beard and stared, looking like he was doing whatever he wanted.
"Playing chess, the most taboo is impetuous. Sikong Yi spoke slowly, and after careful consideration, he gently hammered the white chess piece in his hand on the chessboard, completely locking the big dragon with the black chess piece.
Nangong Quan's face was pale, his eyes were staring at the chessboard, and he couldn't wait to stick his eyes to the wooden plate.
