Chapter 178: The Staircase to the Fourth Floor
Qiao Yuan's cultivation time is relatively short, and the exercises and secrets he has learned are not as many as Qu Yunwei, so his knowledge is naturally not as good as her, at this moment, he took back the jade slip and looked at it again, and also found some clues, and after a while, Qiao Yuan looked at Qu Yunwei and said softly.
"That's true, but I don't know where the lower part of this evil wind finger is?"
"It should be on the fourth floor. ”
Qu Yunwei said without thinking.
Qiao Yuan heard Qu Yunwei's words, and nodded after a little thought.
It is not difficult to guess that the second layer corresponds to the practice secrets of the Qi refining cultivators, the third layer corresponds to the exercises and secrets of the foundation building monks, and the fourth layer corresponds to the exercises and secrets of the Jindan monks' cultivation, and the lower part of this evil wind finger is the secret suitable for the cultivation of the Jindan monks.
"The fourth floor?"
After Qiao Yuan nodded, he had a headache, he still relied on Qu Yunwei to come up on this third layer, he didn't have to think about this fourth layer, he definitely couldn't go up, if he was forced to go up, he could only get chickens and eggs, and he would get nothing to do, and he would be injured and return to death.
"Master Ancestor once warned us, do what you can, don't be greedy, it's not easy for you to get this upper wind finger, so don't think about the fourth layer anymore. ”
Qu Yunwei saw Qiao Yuan's sad face, her eyes sank, and she said slowly.
"Don't you want to go up to the fourth level? You didn't get the exercises you wanted, are you really willing?"
Qiao Yuan was extremely unwilling in his heart, if he missed this opportunity, maybe when he would be able to enter this Hidden Scripture Pavilion again, he took a deep breath, looked at Qu Yunwei fixedly, and said with a solemn expression.
"What if you are unwilling? This staircase leading to the fourth floor is full of the coercion of the late stage of Jindan, unless my cultivation breaks through to the early stage of Jindan, it is impossible to resist this coercion and go up to the fourth layer. ”
Qu Yunwei's beautiful eyes were full of helplessness, shook her head, and said slowly.
When Qiao Yuan heard this, he was quite helpless at first, but after a while, his eyes suddenly burst into a dazzling essence, and his face showed a look of ecstasy, and he laughed.
Qu Yunwei was taken aback by Qiao Yuan's sudden change, she looked at Qiao Yuan who was ecstatic, and even felt that Qiao Yuan couldn't accept this fact and was crazy.
"Qiao Yuan, are you okay. ”
"Haha...... I've got a way to get up to the fourth floor!"
When Qiao Yuan heard Qu Yunwei's words, he immediately felt that he was a little out of shape, he forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and said with a smile.
"What's the solution?"
Qu Yunwei looked puzzled and asked softly.
Qiao Yuan continued with a smile.
"You just said that as long as you can resist the coercion of the late stage of Jindan, you can go to the fourth layer. ”
Qu Yunwei looked even more puzzled and nodded.
Qiao Yuan didn't speak again, but raised his hand and patted it towards the storage bag, and a yellow paper talisman appeared in his hand, which was the life-saving talisman treasure given to him by Old Man Zhan.
Qu Yunwei looked even more puzzled when she saw this yellow paper talisman, after all, if this talisman treasure was not activated, it would look no different from an ordinary talisman.
Qiao Yuan saw Qu Yunwei's eyes showing doubts, and he didn't rush to explain, but stroked the white moon next to him and put it into the spirit beast bracelet, and then he looked at the colorful flying bird and said.
"Put your little friends away, let's go to the fourth floor. ”
At the beginning, Qiao Yuan used this talisman treasure to resist Bai Yunfei's coercion, that Bai Yunfei was a consummation monk, and his coercion was many times stronger than the coercion on the stairs leading to the fourth floor, so at this moment Qiao Yuan was extremely confident, and his expression was even more relaxed.
Qu Yunwei looked at Qiao Yuan's confident and relaxed expression, the doubts in her eyes were even stronger, she didn't put away the colorful birds, but asked softly.
"What the hell do you have to do to get to the fourth layer?
Qiao Yuan shook the talisman treasure in front of Qu Yunwei, with a confident smile on his face, and nodded and said.
"Just follow me, and you'll find out later. ”
After speaking, he walked towards the staircase leading to the fourth floor, Qu Yunwei stood in place and groaned for a while, and with a wave of his hand, he put the colorful flying bird into his sleeve, moved the lotus step lightly, and followed Qiao Yuan.
After a while, both of them walked to the top of the staircase, looking at the withered staircase that stretched into the darkness, and the silence stood there, like a huge mouth that devoured everything, and people couldn't help but retreat.
Qiao Yuan looked at the staircase, the relaxed and confident look on his face had long since disappeared, and was replaced by a solemn look.
This staircase was different from the two stairs he had walked before, it made him feel a dangerous aura, and it was quite thick, as if you would have to go through nine deaths if you wanted to walk up this staircase.
Qu Yunwei also had a solemn expression, and after a pause, she looked at Qiao Yuan and said very solemnly.
"This staircase is very dangerous, so we'd better not risk it, or I may not be able to protect you. ”
When Qiao Yuan heard this, he was quite moved in his heart, but he didn't stop because of this, he was not afraid of the extremely angry Bai Yunfei at the beginning, and now he is not afraid of a dead thing.
He smiled at Qu Yunwei and shook his head, then his two fingers turned into a sword, and he counted the points towards the rune treasure, and in an instant, an extremely powerful coercion spread out from the rune treasure, like a storm, and instantly swept through the third layer of this Hidden Scripture Pavilion.
The moment Qu Yunwei spread out of this coercion, her mind immediately roared, her delicate body trembled, and her expression changed greatly, and she almost stood unsteadily and collapsed on the ground.
But at the moment when she was about to fall to the ground, a powerful big hand grabbed her wrist, and at the same time, the extremely powerful coercion was also a shock, bypassing Qu Yunwei's side, not adding to her body.
"It's ...... Rune Treasure?"
Qu Yunwei didn't notice that her wrist was caught by Qiao Yuan, her beautiful eyes widened, staring at the yellow paper talisman floating above Qiao Yuan's head, her face was full of horror and shock, and she muttered softly.
Qiao Yuan smiled slightly, nodded, and then he let go of the hand that grabbed Qu Yunwei's wrist and said softly.
"Now you should believe that I can enter the fourth layer, let's go. ”
After he finished speaking, he saw Qu Yunwei nodded, then he turned around and walked towards the stairs, stepping on the decayed and withered wooden ladder, and immediately a thick layer of dust was raised, Qiao Yuan raised his hand and waved, and the breeze blew through, sweeping away the dust.
Qu Yunwei calmed down her fluctuating mood a little at this time, and she looked at the white-clothed young man not far in front of her, with a complicated look in her eyes.
Then she raised her wrist that had just been caught by Qiao Yuan, and her beautiful eyes saw that Qiao Yuan did not use much force, but she still left traces of wrinkles on her white and supple sleeves, Qu Yunwei frowned slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Miss Qu, follow me. ”
When Qu Yunwei was pondering, Qiao Yuan's words suddenly sounded, interrupting her thinking, she looked up, and saw that Qiao Yuan had already stepped on four steps, without thinking, Qu Yunwei moved the lotus step lightly and hurriedly followed.
On the other side, when Qiao Yuan activated the rune treasure and released the coercion within it, in the hall on the first floor of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, the tiger beast woke up again, its tiger eyes were full of irritability, and it looked above and said in a muffled voice.
"Grandma's, these two little dolls can really toss, even Fu Bao has such a thing, so that this king can't sleep, this king will throw you two little dolls out now. ”
After saying that, the carving on the pillar flashed with black light, and the carving of the Macaque Tiger Beast immediately wriggled violently, and then a ghostly light flashed out of the carving, and fell to the ground and turned into a strange little tiger the size of a palm, the little tiger shook its head, roared, and disappeared in place in an instant.
In a corner on the third floor of the Scripture Pavilion, a whirlpool suddenly appeared, this whirlpool was not big, as soon as it appeared, a ghostly light flashed out, and then the whirlpool disappeared in place.
The glow dissipated and transformed into a tiger beast, and at this moment its eyes were bored, and as soon as it appeared, it went directly to the staircase leading to the fourth floor.
However, it had just flown out of the air, and suddenly stopped, with a hint of doubt in its tiger eyes, and whispered to itself.
"Huh, why does this coercion feel familiar?"
After pondering for a moment, the Macaque Tiger Beast decided in its heart not to expel Qiao Yuan and Qu Yunwei from the Hidden Scripture Pavilion for the time being, but to observe it secretly first, and made this decision, its figure flickered, turned into a ghostly light again, and disappeared in place.
Besides, Qiao Yuan, as soon as he and Qu Yunwei stepped on the rotten staircase, they immediately felt an amazing coercion permeating the surroundings, oppressing them a little difficult to breathe, but fortunately, there was the coercion of the rune treasure wrapped around their bodies, so they didn't have much of a problem.
"Hmph! Even if there is a rune treasure, this fourth layer is not so easy to go up. ”
At the head of the stairs, the tiger beast looked at Qiao Yuan and Qu Yunwei, who had already stepped on eighteen steps, with contempt in their eyes, snorted coldly, and said lightly.
As soon as it finished speaking, at the moment when Qiao Yuan stepped on the twentieth step, Qiao Yuan suddenly felt a vibration, this shaking feeling made his heart tremble, and he almost fell down the stairs unsteadily, and then he heard a rhythmic footsteps.
"Kick ...... Step on...... Step on...... Step on...... Step on...... Pedal ......"
This series of footsteps seemed to step on Qiao Yuan's heart, making his face change greatly, and his back was instantly wet with cold sweat, and at the same time, a sense of life and death crisis immediately rose in his heart, and his breathing became short.
Qu Yunwei stood on the eighteenth step, she didn't notice anything abnormal, but she saw Qiao Yuan's expression changed greatly, wet with cold sweat, and short of breath, without hesitation, she immediately shouted.
"Qiao Yuan, what's wrong with you?"
Qu Yunwei's shout, Qiao Yuan didn't seem to hear it, and he was not moved at all, which made Qu Yunwei's expression change.
After a moment of silence, she stepped directly on the twentieth step in two steps, and when she was about to call Qiao Yuan again, a sense of life and death crisis rose violently in her heart, and at the same time, a rhythmic footsteps suddenly sounded in her ears.
