Chapter Forty-Eight: Climbing the Tower
Home is not particularly unfamiliar to Ye Xingchen.
But as time went by, it also felt less familiar.
is alone in one plane, although there was an old smoker, Ling'er before, and now he is accompanied by Shopkeeper Wen. But I always felt that something was missing.
Maybe for Ye Xingchen, who is now eighteen years old, when he comes home, he can eat the light meal made by his mother, and the four of them are happy, so that they can feel at home.
For a moment, Ye Xingchen lost his mind and regretted a little, he was bullied by Zheng Nan for three years, and he hid it silently in his heart, locking himself in his room after eating every day.
Now, putting aside the so-called plane master, the sect master of the Strange Gate is one of the men standing at the top of the continent, and he says to himself that the Strange Gate is his home. Rao is Ye Xingchen's naughty personality couldn't help but have a sour nose, and his eyes were misty.
Silently wiped his tears, in front of the sect master, Ye Xingchen didn't care about face at all.
Immediately, a choked master shouted and kowtowed three times.
The Rite of Apprenticeship. Men do not kneel to the sky or the ground all their lives, but only kneel to their parents and masters.
The sect master smiled lightly and helped Ye Xingchen up. "It's too hasty now, keep it secret for the time being, after your task is completed, I will set up a banquet to spread the word to the whole world, you Ye Xingchen is my apprentice of Li"
"Li?" Ye Xingchen wiped his snot and said suspiciously.
"Yes, my name is the single word - Li. The sect master said lightly.
There is actually someone whose name is only one word, and Ye Xingchen's three views were almost subverted.
"Advertisement, it's a bit like an advertisement you see on TV" Ye Xingchen snorted and laughed, regardless of his strange expression of crying and laughing now.
The sect master put his hands on Ye Xingchen's thin shoulders and said solemnly, "Remember, you don't need to think too much about your actions in the future, you really can't beat the master behind you." The young man's slightly slower cry almost broke out again, but he held back, and he knelt down again and said, "Thank you, Master, in the future, the disciple will not hesitate to go up the knife mountain and go down the oil pot for the master!"
The sect master suddenly smiled and scolded with a smile, "Okay, okay, you little guy, you are really a little skinny." Immediately, his face turned straight and said, "You go and bring the third lady in, you go out"
"Master sent me away so soon?" Ye Xingchen said. After seeing the sect master waving his hand, he bowed and said, "Disciple retires." ”
Crunch, Ye Xingchen opened the door with his own hands. Although his eyes were a little red, it didn't prevent him from feeling good.
After Wen Ziwei saw Ye Xingchen, she quipped, "Huh, stinky brother, are you crying?" Ye Xingchen pursed his lips and said, "No, your eyes are in the sand, by the way, the sect master will let you in" Wen Ziwei's expression was slightly surprised, and then she finally nodded and entered the room.
Ye Xingchen saw Zhuge Lao Qian, and smiled, that smile was a little ill-intentioned. made Zhuge Laoqian, a person who has lived for hundreds of years, a little hairy. "Stinky boy, what are you doing?" Ye Xingchen's eyes were full of stars, and his eyes were blazing, and he said, "Elder Zhuge , you see that I saved you that day, can you teach me the Dao Heart in the woods to not break that exercise and the Immovable Hades King?"
When Zhuge Lao Qian heard this, his old face shook, and he said, "Do you want to exchange the old man's life for the old man's exercises? ”
"Hehe" Ye Xingchen smiled inexplicably, and took out the Strange Disciple Order from the storage ring. Zhuge Lao Qian's eyes froze, and he said, "Sect Master, Sect Master, he told you?" Ye Xingchen nodded suddenly, this matter is not a shady matter, it is just a matter of secrecy, not to mention that the expression on Elder Zhuge seems to have known it for a long time.
Half-loud, Elder Zhuge sighed and said, "Take it in, it's not impossible for the old man to teach you exercises and martial arts, but the old man's life is more than this, and the exercises and martial arts can be reluctantly exchanged." Ye Xingchen said, "Then what do you want to give it to me?"
Zhuge Lao Qian touched his funny mustache, his eyes flashed, and he said, "The old man knows what you are about to cultivate, so let's do it, if you climb up from the Tower of Babel, the old man will teach you." ”
Tower of Babel, climb up.
Ye Xingchen smiled bitterly in his heart, he felt very tired after walking a few steps below just now, how should this be?
Zhuge Lao Qian sneered suddenly, "Hmph, I also said that I want to learn exercises, martial arts, let me tell you that this is not the exercises of the strange sect, look at your dilemma, I think the sect master is looking at the wrong person."
Ye Xingchen's originally helpless expression suddenly became a little angry. He knew in his heart that Elder Zhuge was for his good.
Immediately nodded and said, "I'll climb"
Zhuge Lao Qian's face eased slightly, nodded, and said, "I'll take you to the guest room, you rest for one night first, I'll take you to climb the tower tomorrow morning, and set off to Dongzhou Daoyuan the day after tomorrow." ”
After a while, Wen Ziwei came out, her face seemed to be good, and the conversation with the master just now was very happy. Ye Xingchen stepped forward and said, "Auntie, why do you seem to be very happy?" Shopkeeper Wen sighed, and said to Zhuge Laoqian, "Elder Zhuge , take us to the guest room."
Zhuge Lao Qian smiled, his old face was slightly red, and he asked mischievously, "Two or one?" As soon as he finished saying this, Ye Xingchen found that Wen Ziwei's face was flushed, very embarrassed, and her appearance was extremely cute. So he rushed to the front of the latter and said, "Two rooms." ”
"Hey," Zhuge smiled.
... ...
After eating, Ye Xingchen sat on the bed and counted his loot, there were a lot of coins that the spirit stone traded with ordinary people, and now Ye Xingchen was no longer the poor ghost he used to be. This made him grin, didn't he want to buy anything in the future? As for the bell, it was hidden and given to him by people who were unhappy with it later.
First of all, there is the plane map, a map of the four seas and eight wilderness that can be drawn during the merger period thousands of years ago. The map is detailed to every village in Dongzhou. This time, Ye Xingchen is no longer a road idiot. Keep the map in your mind.
Then, the four techniques of Sheng Xian are divided into two parts, exercises and martial arts. There are a total of four moves in martial arts. What is particular about the repeated compression of the aura and the attack of the same point or surface situation. As for the exercises, Ye Xingchen glanced at it, he didn't have any interest, and tried the martial arts a little, and it had a small effect, so he burned the four techniques of Sheng Xian with beast fire, and this kind of thing took a place in the storage ring.
Next, the missing part of the four-elephant array. Briefly depicted the Qinglong Array and the Xuanwu Array, and after discovering some effects, I stopped practicing, as for the superposition of the four arrays... Ye Xingchen still shook his head, the consumption of spiritual power was too great. You'll have to find a time to try it with someone who doesn't have long eyes to know how powerful it is.
Next, the Four Chenjing of the Strange Gate Exercises. Ye Xingchen read it a few times and found that this exercise was actually a little difficult. Generally speaking, the Four Chen Sutras are divided into four parts, namely the Heavenly Xuan Sutra, the Earth Xuan Sutra, the Sun Xuan Sutra and the Moon Xuan Sutra. It can be used to improve cultivation in a short period of time. Ye Xingchen tried a few times according to the method mentioned in the book, but it didn't work, so he couldn't help scratching his head and looking down.
It's no wonder that he's in bed, after all. As the name suggests, the Four Mysteries of Heaven and Earth, the Sun and the Moon are not the ceiling under the sky, not the bed above the earth, under the sun, and under the moonlight.
The last one, the illusion. It is possible to imitate the face, body shape, and voice of a person who has been in contact with it for a period of time. Only cultivation cannot be imitated. That is, the premium version of the face-changing. This is amazing, Ye Xingchen's face is overjoyed. In the future, you can change your face and have a guarantee, and the only requirement is after the catastrophe. Only after the tribulation and stepping into the foundation building period can the Qi Sea Cave become more pure.
And just like that, there was no word all night. Ye Xingchen pondered until the weather was cold. As soon as dawn broke, Zhuge Lao Qian came over to find Ye Xingchen in a hurry.
Wen Ziwei got up relatively early, and was already waiting for Ye Xingchen at the door of the courtyard. Ye Xingchen hadn't slept all night, and he was still very excited. He was looking forward to getting Zhuge Laoqian's exercises and martial arts after he passed through the Tower of Babel.
However, Ye Xingchen needs to eat, after all, he has not yet reached the Jindan period, so he can't Bigu. Zhuge Lao Qian had to wait for Ye Xingchen to finish breakfast before sending the two of them out of the door.
After the sparrow landed, Zhuge Lao Qian immediately jumped down, and made a gesture, "Please!" to signal Ye Xingchen to start. After Ye Xingchen turned his back to him, Zhuge Lao Qian waved his palm. A dark blue light shield dissipated, and suddenly revealed the entire Bagua Center Square full of disciples of the shape of **. Shopkeeper Wen frowned slightly, "Elder Zhuge , what is this?"
Zhuge Laoqian smiled and said, "It's rare to have an "outsider" who wants to climb the tower, so you have to tell these stinky boys that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world who are not. Otherwise, they always think that they are very strong, and they can't climb up the Heavenly Tower. Wen Ziwei chuckled, this Zhuge Lao Qian is also an old fox. Then he was surprised: "I don't know how Elder Zhuge thinks that my stinky brother can succeed?"
"With this kid's body cultivation realm and soul realm, it is already enough" Zhuge Lao Qian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said leisurely.
I saw Ye Xingchen's emaciated back, taking every step with difficulty and slowly. Every step he takes next represents his persistence. Even though each step was heavy and seemed to be overwhelmed, the boy persevered.
For a long time, a warm sun rose in the east. Ye Xingchen finally walked into the interior of the Tower of Babel. "It's so hot" Ye Xingchen muttered, sweat sliding down his face along the temperature. He took off his black robe and exhaled softly. Take the first step.
Next, he kept walking. I can't remember how many floors I've climbed. His mind was empty. Step by step like a machine.
A few outer disciples outside the tower said, "Elder Zhuge , mentor, is this kid okay? Not even a disciple of my Strange Sect, can he still climb the tower?"
I don't know when several mentors also appeared beside Zhuge Laoqian.
Another hook-nosed disciple said, "That's right, Elder Zhuge , can you make fun of us again?"
"It's impossible to climb up, the disciples of the outer sect can't go up, how can he be an outsider?" Zhao Wuji said as he looked at the back that occasionally appeared by the window in the tower.
seemed to be very unhappy when questioned, Zhuge Lao Qian snorted coldly and said, "Shut up, give me peace of mind!"
A few hours later, Ye Xingchen's figure finally appeared by the window on the highest floor. There are nine hundred and seventy-eight floors.
At this moment, Ye Xingchen's legs were already starting to weaken. His face was sweating.
The hesitation position is too high and is already invisible to the naked eye. Elder Zhuge had already waved his robe, and a mirror with a diameter of two meters appeared in the square.
The boy in the mirror is half-propped up on his knees with his arms on his feet, and his steps are full of mountains and continue to move forward.
Many disciples in the field have already begun to count.
"Twenty-two floors!"
"Twenty-one layer!"
"Twenty floors!"
...
The last layer. Ye Xingchen's body was already crumbling. His mind was already starting to get groggy. It seems that there is no way to take that step.
His feet were like stones weighing several tons, and he couldn't even lift his legs.
The boy's face had begun to distort.
"Come on!"
I don't know who shouted in the square.
Then the cheering began to be shouted in an orderly manner.
Even Wen Ziwei covered her small mouth lightly and bit her lower lip tightly with her teeth. Her beautiful eyes kept flickering, looking at Ye Xingchen's figure in the mirror.
"Stinky brother, do you want to come on?!"
