Chapter 38: Cloud Steps
The old ape couldn't help laughing: "Terran baby, maybe you're too interesting, maybe it's because I haven't seen a living person for too long, and I don't want to kill you." ”
Lin Xi was not happy about this, and said more calmly: "The seniors should have been able to go out a long time ago, and they stayed just for the things on the mountain?"
The old ape didn't refute his words or agreed, but just said to himself: "Go out, I can't do it now, unless I turn away from hundreds of years of cultivation, but if you climb the mountain, I may consider not using these hundreds of years of cultivation." ”
After listening to the old ape's words, Lin Xi couldn't help but shudder, hundreds of years? Not long ago, he asked Xu seniors how many years of general cultivation is considered a small success, and at that time, Xu Jiayong didn't even think about raising a finger directly, more than ten years, I am afraid that it will take a hundred years to go up.
From Senior Xu, Lin Xi learned that the maximum lifespan of the monks of the Lifespring Cultivation was only two hundred years, including the support of the elixir, and it was barely enough to hold on, if it was not discounted, the average lifespan of the monks of the Lifespring Cultivation could only be one hundred and fifty years.
One hundred and fifty years is too much for ordinary people.
Lin Xi came back to his senses and looked at the old ape in front of him, who had lived for hundreds of years, and felt that the other party was even more unfathomable.
The old ape seemed to see what Lin Xi was thinking, and said, "Didn't you ask what a monk is just now? ”
Lin Xi nodded, his breathing slowing down, for fear of missing something.
"Generally speaking, a monk must strengthen his own well, which is the well in his body, and how deep the well is and how much water it contains is a sign of how powerful you are. The spring of life, the spring of life, flows into the mouth of the well. Later, someone proposed that spiritual power needed to be stimulated, and powerful external objects should be stimulated, and from that person, he no longer strengthened the wellhead in his body, but built tall buildings, and one after another tall buildings were erected in his body, and in the end it was twelve stories high. ”
The old ape said very seriously, where is the old ape and the little baby now, where is the difference between the human race and the demon race, the old ape at this time is more like a learned gentleman, who is teaching his students.
Lin Xi carefully remembered that Senior Xu had told him some things, but Senior Xu knew a little after all, and he couldn't say all of them, Lin Xi had always figured out what a monk was, and now was the time for him to understand.
When the old ape said that he was no longer talking, he muttered, "How much do you understand?"
Lin Xi thought for a while and said: "The monk divides the realm by that tall building, and there are twelve realms in the life spring, and the wellhead provides a steady stream of spiritual power, and the two help each other, both are indispensable?"
The old ape said calmly: "That's basically it. ”
On the twelfth floor of the Destiny Spring, Lin Xi thought that Chu Yifang and Xu Seniors were both masters of the ten-story building, and their battle Lin Xi was very impressive, and he could shake the mountains by raising his hand at will, so what would happen if the Destiny Spring's twelve-story building reached the top? Wouldn't he do whatever he wanted?
The old ape said coldly: "Your lifespring is blocked, the aura is washed away, if you don't treat it in time, I'm afraid you will have to explain here, it's okay, there are many people and demons here, you won't be lonely below." ”
Lin Xi said: "Please also ask the seniors to help." ”
The old ape pressed his hat down a little again, and said coldly: "Five days, give you five days to go up the mountain, if you get on, I will untie all your dead knots, and if you can't get on, you will understand what the end will be." ”
Lin Xi nodded, risking his scalp.
The old ape stretched out his fingertips and scratched, and a long and large character that could not be seen clearly appeared in front of Lin Xi, and after getting the permission of the old ape, Lin Xi dared to figure it out with his eyes, with the help of the breathing method, Lin Xi could understand some words that ordinary people could not understand.
"Step in the clouds?" Lin Xi saw some words, just three words.
Suddenly, the three words of Yun Zhongbu did not enter Lin Xi's eyebrows, and quickly expanded in his mind, and words the size of ants crawled around in his mind, instantly filling his mind.
Although there are many words, these words don't seem to need Lin Xi to see, he pondered carefully, and the words the size of ants are naturally arranged in order, without Lin Xi to see them, the mystery in these words has disappeared into Lin Xi's heart.
It was so amazing, Lin Xi felt that there was a magical aura spreading in his body, and as long as he wanted to, those aura would appear on their own.
"Thank you, senior!" Lin Xi hurriedly saluted and thanked him.
The old ape sneered unobservingly: "The guy who can't get on the table is just a small skill of carving insects." It's a kind of footwork that allows you to walk on the water, but of course it's just too humble, and the real wonder is that it can be undisturbed by spiritual power, and it's also very good against enemies. ”
Lin Xi didn't seem to listen at all, he was eager to try this footwork, and the old ape didn't look bored with himself, and waved his hand to look at the lake.
The breathing method operates, the aura no longer appears from the body, they are more attached to Lin Xi's body, Lin Xi stepped out as if ten steps away, and more importantly, it didn't consume a little of his physical strength, Lin Xi felt light and fluttering, what would happen if he was full of strength?
For a while, afterimages appeared on the surface of the lake, there were in the air, there were on the lake, and there were also next to the towering trees, Lin Xi took a few steps upward after stabilizing his steps, and the aura automatically appeared under his feet, and he could go straight to the sky in one step or two?
Lin Xi didn't continue to try, and after the joy, Lin Xi seemed to understand something, walked up to the old ape and said, "Senior, this footwork?"
The old ape said: "It can be seen that it is a good thing, this footwork has a total of three steps, and the first step is that you have already comprehended it, which is Yunbu." In the second step, it can crush the opponent's spiritual power, so that the opponent cannot condense the spiritual power in a short period of time, which is the cloud step. The third step is amazing. ”
Lin Xi snorted, what is the third step? The old ape himself didn't know, and he would only take the second step when he arrived.
"There's a lot of aura here, and I can use it so smoothly, I don't know what it will be like when I go out. Lin Xi said to himself, he found this, the reason why Yun Bu himself can use it is very related to the aura here, in which not only the aura increases exponentially, but even the comprehension of other things is very fast.
Lin Xi thought that if he could leave here, learn some skills in the Xingnan Sect smoothly, smoothly bring Master Yang's letter to him, and then smoothly come back to cultivate for decades, he would at least have to be a master of the ten-story building of the Life Spring.
The old ape waved his hand expressionlessly, and before Lin Xi could react, the outside world all changed, and in front of him was a very tall mountain, and the towering tree returned to his rear.
With a casual wave of his own, he came over?
The old ape obviously didn't want to talk to himself so much, Lin Xi looked at the stone wall in front of him and thought that he had to try everything himself, even if the old ape said something wrong, he didn't know anything about those problems if he didn't try.
The aura gradually attached to Lin Xi's body, making his whole person become lighter.
Lin Xi disappeared at the foot of the mountain, and when he reappeared, he had already reached the previous ten steps, too fast, just one step was so fast?
Ten steps, fifty steps, a hundred steps! In the blink of an eye, there are already a hundred paces away.
Lin Xi felt that his feet were incomparably light, and there was no gap between running on the stone wall and the ground, even if he didn't have any foothold, Lin Xi could walk on the stone wall with skillful footwork.
Yunbu is really amazing.
Lin Xi was very fast, but he didn't rush straight forward, he looked at everything around him.
A knife! There is a knife stuck in the stone wall! Lin Xi walked in front of this knife, he stopped on the stone wall carefully, Lin Xi didn't touch it, he didn't feel anything abnormal just now until this knife appeared, Lin Xi could clearly feel that the aura around him was gradually weakening.
How long has it been here? I heard the old ape say that no one has come in here for decades, so this knife has been stuck in the stone wall for at least a few decades, it has not rusted or broken at all, it is a complete treasure knife.
Lin Xi's first reaction was a monk, the owner of this knife should be a monk, and it is a monk with very unusual strength, you must know that Lin Xi once punched hard at the foot of the mountain, if it is said that the stone wall in the outside world has not been broken, it is not surprising, but this is a place to raise spirits, Lin Xi almost pulled the limit of what he could pull to punch.
But the stone wall was still very smooth, and there was not even a single scratch on it.
The knife in front of Lin Xi was obviously inserted by someone, and it could insert the knife into the stone wall?
Could it be that such a person can't climb the mountain? What is there on the mountain? What is in the clouds halfway up the mountain? Lin Xi felt that it was not the problem of the mountain peak, there must be something strange on it.
By running upwards, there are more things stuck in the stone wall, and these are the weapons left by the monks.
Lin Xi didn't dare to touch them, even though it had been decades since they had passed and the residual spiritual power on their bodies had not completely dissipated.
When Lin Xi passed by the last weapon, all of a sudden, the entire mountain peak underwent a great change. Lin Xi immediately looked at the foot of the mountain, and there were patches of clouds below!
No way. Lin Xi secretly screamed in his heart, he was obviously still some distance away from the mountainside, how could he have already entered the clouds.
When Lin Xi came back to his senses and was about to go down the mountain, everything in front of him changed again, a large area of jungle!
A jungle that grows on a stone wall!
Lin Xi stopped walking, his breathing gradually became regular, there was not much aura, this area was completely isolated from the outside world, and Lin Xi could no longer pull the aura here.
Lin Xi looked at everything around him, those trees were as big as dragons and snakes coiled, but they were all short, not as tall as Lin Xi, and there were wisps of spiritual energy around them.
Wrong. Lin Xi reacted, only the flowers and trees around him were surrounded by aura, and those trees did not have any aura in the distance.
Lin Xi quickly judged that these trees and flowers were not producing spirits, but absorbing his aura!
"Everything is born from the heart. The same is true of the fluttering grass, the falling leaves, and the clouds in the sky. If I want, I can imagine the fallen leaves floating in the air and the clouds falling a few feet in the sky!"
There was a sound as loud as a bell in the towering tree, and it ended when it floated to the lake.
A small world began to spread around the towering tree, and gradually controlled the sound around the towering tree.
The old ape took off his hat and put it beside him, and a figure of the same size as him walked up to the old ape, and sat down naturally, but the old ape ignored him.
The man put on the old ape's hat and said to himself, "After decades, something interesting has finally come." ”
A small monkey sat next to the old ape, and when he looked closely, it was the little monkey that led Lin Xi into the cave.
The little monkey transformed, and an old man appeared on the trunk of the tree, looking much older than the old ape.
"Mo Ju, haven't given up yet, can the covenant between you and me still count?" the old man asked.
The old ape smiled faintly and said, "Is it necessary for me to break the contract? There are still five days before the agreement between you and me arrives, so you won't think I'm going to lose." ”
The old man shook his head and said leisurely: "No, I am determined to lose." ”
The old ape glanced at him and said, "You did it on purpose?"
"No, gambling games, the key is a gambling word, what does it mean to do it deliberately?"
The old ape watched as the clouds on the distant peaks grew thicker and thicker, and pointed his finger in front of him, and the scene he sketched appeared in front of them.
However, the scene inside slowly disappeared before it could be seen clearly.
The old man smiled: "What, think he can break the game?"
The old ape glanced at him and said calmly: "Then what if you lose?"
The old man placed the hat on the trunk of the tree, and the strange thing was that the small trunk not only allowed the old man to sit on it naturally, but also did not fall down the hat. You must know that neither the old ape nor the old man is interested in doing things on the hat.
The old ape's expression slowly became less leisurely, and he wanted to reach for the hat but was stopped by the old man.
The old ape asked tentatively, "Something's wrong?"
The old man said nonchalantly, "That's why I don't want myself to win." ”
The old man smiled bitterly, and his whole body drifted away in the wind.
The little monkey rubbed his head, not knowing what was happening, as if he were out of his body.
The old ape retracted his mind and looked quietly ahead. On the mountain peaks facing the towering trees, the word "forgiveness" looms in the clouds.
Lin Xi hid his aura and constantly left a small part of his aura in other places. The boy seemed to be back in the town, grasping the branches with his left hand and plunging the dagger he was carrying into the trees with his right hand, so that the ascent was slow but safe.
These are all skills that Lin Xi learned on several large mountains next to the town.
It didn't take long for Lin Xi's hands to start trembling, and without using the breathing method, the physical strength of an ordinary person to climb the mountain alone was limited after all.
The trees that Lin Xi walked by below were slowly disappearing, as if they were not there in the first place.
Lin Xi had already noticed this, he could only climb up desperately now, if he didn't pay attention, or he couldn't get through, falling half to death would be a result.
