Chapter 20: Accidents
This young man looks about the same height as Shen Shi, and his face is seventy percent similar to the old Hou he saw under the mountain before, especially the same piece of meat on his cheeks, but the old Hou looks like he has a fierce face, this little guy looks much more pleasing to the eye, but he has a bit of a fat appearance, he is a little fat.
But at this moment, this little fat man's eyes showed a fierce light, and he looked like he was going to be angry for his father, Shen Shi also had a headache, and then thought about the black scroll sealed in the small jar at the end yesterday, looking at the little fat man's eyes, he couldn't help but secretly feel a little more guilty, and laughed dryly at the moment, and said, "My name is Shen Shi, is there anything wrong with you?"
The little fat man glared at him and said, "My father said that you cheated him of a good thing at Nantianmen yesterday, call me out!"
Shen Shiyi raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, did he say what that good thing is?"
The little fat man said angrily: "Don't pretend, it's just a small jar." As he spoke, he made two strokes on his hand, roughly drawing the size of the small can.
Looking at the little fat man's angry expression, Shen Shi did not answer his question immediately, but first looked him up and down, as if he had thought of something, and then smiled: "Are you the son of that old marquis, we will be regarded as brothers in the same sect in the future, by the way, what is your name?"
The little fat man sneered and said, "Master, my name is Hou Sheng, don't think that I can let you go if you are close to me, hand over the small jar quickly, lest I beat you up." ”
Shen Shi thought for a while and said, "I did buy a small jar from Nantianmen yesterday, but I don't know if your father told you how many spirit crystals I spent to buy it?"
Hou Sheng choked for a moment, and before he could say anything, Shen Shi had already stretched out a finger and said, "I spent a spirit crystal." Then he looked at Hou Sheng with a smile and said, "What you said a spirit crystal can buy, what kind of special good thing will it be?"
Hou Sheng's chubby face turned red, and it seemed that he still refused to rest, and said loudly on his neck: "My father said that it was a good thing, but you lied to him......"
Shen Shi interrupted him directly, and said, "Your father said that it was a good thing, what is it, you tell me." ”
Hou Sheng was speechless.
Shen Shi sneered and said, "Since it is such a good thing, why is your father willing to sell a spirit crystal, for this reason, did he tell you?"
Hou Sheng was stunned, these things, Lao Hou really didn't mention them to him, after all, this involved the use of citrine to deceive another loose cultivation spirit crystal, although Lao Hou's character is not good, but in the face of his son's self-boasting about this kind of behavior, he really can't do it, so he just briefly mentioned to his son Shen Shi should have deceived a small jar that might be a good thing from his hand yesterday.
Hou Sheng heard these words, and he came to Shen Shi to settle accounts in anger, who knew that he was stopped by Shen Shi's words like this, and the little fat man was not the kind of mentally handicapped boy whose mind was completely made of wood, and he had heard and witnessed his father's usual methods of setting up stalls and peddling at Nantianmen, so he was asked a few words by Shen Shi at this moment, and then he calmed down and thought about it, and he could almost understand what the situation was like yesterday......
Others are seriously spending money to buy things, and you have to reproach people and liars here, this approach seems to be a bit unreasonable, the little fat man frowned, and a little chubby face was a little sneering, just a young man's heart, if he wants to say anything more about this, it is also very difficult. In the end, Hou Sheng stomped his feet suddenly, and he didn't know what to curse in a low voice, so he ignored Shen Shi anymore, turned around and strode towards the Baixian Rock.
Shen Shi, who was left in place, was also stunned for a moment, and glanced at the back of the little fat man, even if he didn't see that face, he knew that Hou Sheng must be flushed and angry at this moment, and he definitely regarded himself as an enemy.
Sighing softly, with a little helplessness, Shen Shi shook his head and walked up again.
※※※
There are more than 100 layers of stone steps, inclined upward, looking up from the ground, like a road to heaven, but in it, when you go halfway, you will find that because there are no handrails on both sides of the stone steps, the inclination angle of the upward chiseling is also a little steep, and there is a bit of thrilling meaning when walking.
When he was about halfway up the stone steps, Shen Shi soon noticed that many of the young boys and girls who came up in front of him had unconsciously slowed down a lot. Standing on the stone steps at this time, I felt that the sea breeze seemed to suddenly become much stronger, as if it was possible to blow the weak body here off the boulder if I was not careful, and once I looked back, the scene was even more terrifying, only to see that the bottom was as steep as a cut, and it was even higher from the ground.
Many of the boys and girls on the stone steps looked a little nervous, some of them were timid, and even their steps seemed to tremble. Shen Shi subconsciously glanced back, a gust of sea breeze blew, and he felt that his body seemed to almost float, and there was a vague illusion of rolling out of control. There was a cold sweat when he landed, and he quickly turned his head back, gasping for breath, and then he got better.
He stared at the stone steps in front of him, didn't dare to look back more, took a deep breath, and after a while, his heart that was beating violently slowly calmed down a little.
......Suddenly, a suppressed and aggrieved and frightened sobbing sound came from not far in front of Shen Shi, Shen Shi looked up and looked forward, only to see that it was a stone staircase on the fifth or sixth floor of his own height, a girl was pale, her body trembled slightly, but she was extremely scared, and she couldn't help crying.
This cry is not tight, in the blink of an eye, it seems to be contagious, there seems to be a similar sound faintly coming out of the front and back, although everyone is trying their best to suppress themselves, but the body is extremely nervous, these teenagers, boys and girls are still young after all, and some children with good backgrounds have never seen such a thrilling scene since they were young, and they can't accept it for a while.
However, after being shocked by the sudden crying around him, Shen Shi was in good spirits, and it seemed that even the original tension had been relieved a lot, and he didn't think it was a little funny in his heart.
Xu was when he was young, in Naxi Lu City, he followed the butcher and saw blood, killed life, and didn't dare to say much about other skills, this courage was thicker than that of ordinary teenagers.
Turning his head to look around, he saw that several girls were rolling with red eyes and tears, in contrast, although there were many pale boys, but there was not a single one who really cried.
Far below the Worship Immortal Rock, the crowd of people who gathered around to watch did not disperse, and it was either relatives and friends or family followers who came here to give people away, and no one was particularly relieved to see these young boys and girls really worship the Immortal Rock. It's just that at this time, some eyes are keen, and they see from a distance that there seems to be something strange in the middle of the immortal rock steps, and many teenagers have stopped for some reason, and some children are shaking their shoulders and look very scared. This situation suddenly caused a commotion in the crowd under the stone, and many people were worried, and subconsciously approached the stone steps of worshipping immortals.
At this moment, suddenly a thick male voice came down from the top of the Baixian Rock from afar, the tone was flat and quiet, but there seemed to be great power invisibly, and it suppressed all the stupid movements at once, making the boulder up and down, and at this moment it seemed that only this one voice was echoing:
"The immortal road is long, there are countless hardships and dangers, how can the cowardly person be competent? ”
The sound faded, and there was silence on and under the stone, and countless people looked up into the distance, all of them anxiously staring at the teenagers on the stone steps.
As for the stone steps, the atmosphere at the moment was even more calm, and all the young people on the stone steps naturally heard the rich and flat voice, and the meaning of those words could not be clearer.
After the sound died down, some of the boys snorted suddenly, as if they had made up their minds, and continued to climb up without saying a word. And these boys took the lead, and among the remaining children, whether boys or girls, they naturally understood that there was only one choice left in front of them, and they all cheered up, even if their legs and feet were still a little weak, they still gritted their teeth and insisted on walking up.
Shen Shi is also an inconspicuous one in the crowd, his face is quite calm, and he continues to walk upward at the moment, and occasionally looks up, but he sees that among the boys at the front, one of them is the little fat man Hou Sheng.
However, at this moment, the stone steps are higher and steeper, and the angle of inclination is getting bigger and bigger, which looks more and more terrifying, even if the person who walks in the front, although he musters up the courage to continue to move forward, he still can't help but be afraid. At the same time, people are in high places, the sea breeze is getting stronger and stronger, and the surging and never-ending tide rushes in waves, slapping against the boulder cliff, as if every time, the boulder shakes slightly, and there is a terrible illusion that everyone will fall in the next moment.
In order to maintain his balance, the young man in front of him had already leaned down, put his hands on the stone steps, used his hands and feet together, tried his best to get close to the stone steps, and then climbed up step by step.
Shen Shi was the same, and at the same time, he secretly scolded in his heart, this Lingxiao Sect is really very well-behaved, and even the last Immortal Rock to guide the disciples, he had to engage in such a big battle. At this moment, there was a heavy gasp around him, and the physical strength of these teenagers was also rapidly depleting because of excessive tension.
Gradually, the teenagers were divided into several levels before and after, the first one was about seven or eight people, the fastest walking, and the face was also the best, among them was the little fat man Hou Sheng; the middle was the largest, about thirty or forty people, all of them looked nervous, but they still continued to climb up, and the speed was okay; as for the dozen or so people who fell behind, it seemed that the situation was the worst, and the girls who cried out in front of them, as well as a few thin and even timid boys, were all in this level.
Shen Shi's situation looked quite passable, although he didn't seem to climb very fast, but he still kept up with the middle team, which was because he came up late before, and was caught by the little fat man Hou Sheng and quarreled for a while, so he was delayed. Now he walked slowly, although his speed seemed average, but along the way, he kept overtaking many people, and gradually came to the middle of the group.
"That little fat man, I can't see that my legs and feet are quite sharp......" Shen Shi squinted, glanced at the little fat man who was climbing fast at the front, shook his head, and walked up another stone staircase, not far in front of him was a girl, looking a little pale, stopping on the road ahead of him to rest, gasping for breath, looking very tired.
Shen Shi glanced at her, only to feel that this girl seemed to be quite delicate, as for the rest, he didn't think much about it, and then he was ready to pass by her and continue to move forward. The girl glanced at Shen Shi in a breath, as if she was a little reluctant to be surpassed, so she gritted her teeth and continued to walk forward.
Who knew that at this time, the girl's footsteps had just stepped on the stone steps one level higher, a gust of wind blew suddenly, and I don't know whether it was physical exhaustion or a slip on the soles of her feet, the girl's body shook, and she was unstable on her footing, and after letting out a terrible scream, her body actually fell towards Shen Shi's side!
At that moment, the entire stone staircase seemed to be stunned, and Shen Shi's mind was also blank for an instant, only to feel that a heart was about to jump out of his chest at this moment. He watched in amazement at the somewhat delicate body, and just like that, he fell from in front of him, with a terrible sound of wind and an overwhelming shadow.
With such a steep stone staircase cliff, is it going to fall down next, and then everyone will die together......
