Chapter 24 Xihe
After making up his mind, Shao Baiyu re-picked up the Honghu Immortal Sword and returned to the waterway. After a long period www.biquge.info of time, the river flow speed is obviously turbulent, probably because it is raining in the mountains or when the tide is high, no matter which of the two situations, the water level of the mountain stream will rise rapidly.
Although Shao Baiyu doesn't always walk around in the mountains, after all, he lives in the mountains all year round, and he still understands this common sense. Perform the art of flying at the moment and quickly go down the river.
The river swelled, and soon submerged his knees, Shao Baiyu couldn't see the exit for a long time, and his heart was anxious, and a fork in the road appeared not far away, and a bright light shot out, and he got into it at the moment.
The road inside was inclined upward, and Shao Baiyu followed the light to the end. The road in front of me is gone, it is all the way to the edge of the cliff, it turns out, the exit of this fork in the road is just a cave on the cliff, the huge space in front of it is estimated to be the interior of the North Mountain, who can imagine, the whole mountain is not only hollowed out, but also excavated into a labyrinth of complex terrain.
Dare to break ground near the main peak, these people are really bold enough.
At a glance, there is a knife-like stone wall directly opposite, and below is an abyss, reflected by the light reflected by the rare scale armor, I am afraid that it is a strange beast that I have seen before.
Shao Baiyu didn't dare to slack off, the sword flew up, and went straight to the highest place, and found that the stone wall was tightly sealed, and there was no passage to the outside, so he could only turn back. After falling into the cliff, he felt like a headless fly, stuffed in a porcelain bowl, and he couldn't get out of it when he bumped around.
In desperation, he returned to the entrance of the cave where he came, and went down, ready to enter the river, but unfortunately the water was turbulent, and the water had filled the river, and he did not know when it would recede.
The heart said: Is my Shao Baiyu going to be trapped and die here?
He gritted his teeth, decided to seek wealth and danger, and drove the fairy sword to the bottom of the cave, where the monster's body roamed.
This is really a huge determination, if it weren't for being distracted by the words of the man in black, with his old character, he would never have done this.
Such a huge cave can still only glimpse a corner of the body of the beast, it can be seen that its size is huge, the green bull fairy once said that the entire body of the spirit beast is a container for storing immortal power, how huge the body is, how much immortal power is stored. In this way, this mountain monster will at least not be weaker than the Prison Bull Supreme. It has the strength to crush itself.
Therefore, his action is really very dangerous.
Shao Baiyu drove the fairy sword and landed at the bottom of the cliff, a foot above the moving body of the strange beast, and found that there were corridors in all directions, and the body of the strange beast was obviously elongated, piercing out of this hole, penetrating through the hole next door, and back from the next hole, Shao Baiyu was very curious, what kind of prey did such a huge creature have to hunt to maintain the needs of life.
At the same time, he thought that if he entered the same path as the alien beast, then he would probably be turned into meat sauce by the expansion and contraction of its body. But if you enter other corridors, if the head of the strange beast sticks out of it, it will be cornered.
Without frowning, the Eye of the Apocalypse twitched twice for no reason.
Shao Baiyu sensed it, gathered the immortal power on his eyes, and looked at the cave intently, and saw a fairy sword in the cracks of the winding and horizontal body of the alien beast.
This fairy sword is made of unknown metal, the overall black is mixed with purple textures, there is no blade, there is a round ball at the top and a tail, and the center is oval and thread-shaped, and the appearance is extremely strange. It looms, emitting an ethereal fluorescence, suspended in mid-air, like the core of a deep mountain.
"This must be a top-notch artifact. Shao Baiyu was secretly looking forward to it. After all, as of today, all the treasures that could be called artifacts had been taken away by Shen Fei.
He continuously injected immortal power into the Eye of the Apocalypse, and at the same time, he controlled the Honghu Immortal Sword to fly directly above this artifact and jumped down. At the place where he landed, the distance between the bodies and the strange beasts was no more than half a foot.
He didn't dare to slack off at all, and put the qi of the dantian on his right hand, trying to grab the hilt of the sword. On the outside of the artifact, without any seals or prohibitions, Shao Baiyu successfully grabbed the hilt of the sword, and was about to lift it, when the world around him suddenly turned upside down.
The sky is spinning, except for itself, all the surrounding space changes to black, the purple threads divide the black world like a grid, the sky is turning, the ground is turning, the stone walls are turning, all the space is transformed into black, all places are rotating.
What kind of power is this?
There has been a failed experience of seeking a sword in the sky city, Shao Baiyu this time, he is unwilling to let go no matter what, let the world spin around, let the stomach acid gush again and again, and never let go, he is eager for power, he pursues power, the same mistake will not be made a second time, he must be recognized by the sword.
Speaking of which, Shao Baiyu's thirst for power is innate, and he has never wasted his time since he can remember. Reading, martial arts, astronomy, geography, and actuarial science, with his qualifications, he soon discovered the limitations of manpower, so he began to frantically look for ways to escape the constraints of nature.
Until the appearance of Yan Tiantian, his thirst for power reached the extreme, and from then on, in the name of revenge, he embarked on the road of crazy pursuit of power.
From beginning to end, he is a person who knows exactly where his goal is, so after experiencing a painful failure, this time, he will never let go, let alone give up, even if his internal organs are stirred, even if his mind collapses, he will not let go. It doesn't matter if you go to the mountain, or if you go around, at this moment, Shao Baiyu finally understands his own way, and the persistent pursuit of power is everything to him.
As if after an eternity of time, and as if it was just a brief moment, the spinning world returned to calm, and Shao Baiyu stood in the two-color world divided into a grid, raising the fairy sword high. The next moment, the body of the alien beast turned into a black wind and merged into the divine sword, and a black and purple Taiji diagram appeared at his feet, at this moment, in the world of the sword, he was the master.
As if he had lost his mind, Shao Baiyu held his sword high and laughed, the laughter was like thunder, shaking the entire cave.
It wasn't until the world of the grid disappeared that Shao Baiyu regained his calm.
"Whew. Is that me with power, so crazy. He reached out and wiped a handful of sweat. The massive body crisscrossed by the beast was gone, and the entire void was his lone person, and there was a suspended sword. Strange to say, I should have held the hilt of my sword tightly.
He opened the Eye of the Apocalypse and carefully looked at the Earth Immortal Sword that was close at hand, feeling that it was like a divine needle that maintained the stability of heaven and earth.
Unbelievable, Shao Baiyu suddenly didn't dare to touch it, for fear that once he lifted it, the heavens and the earth would shatter.
"I know what's going on in your heart, kid. "Voices that appear for no reason often indicate that powerful beings are on the right side, "After so many years, you are the first person to discover my existence, and the one who is destined to break my seal, and in return, I will give you the power to reach the top." ”
"Are you talking, Excalibur. What's your name. Shao Baiyu asked tentatively.
"Who else but me. Excalibur replied, his voice hollow and lacking confidence, as if he was seriously ill.
"Your name is ......"
"Heaven and earth are the same. ”
"It's so long. ”
"You can call me Xihe. ”
"It turned out to be Xi and his predecessors, Bai Yu was polite. ”
"The young man is very polite, but there is no need to be polite to me, we will get along day and night in the future, and we can just talk directly. ”
Hearing Xi He say this, Shao Baiyu was secretly excited in his heart, and said: "If you can win the favor of Xi and your predecessors, Bai Yu will cherish it as a good life, and it will not disgrace the prestige of the divine sword." ”
"I said that there is no need to be polite to me. Let's be straight, I know that you crave power, and I can give you strength, so I deliberately led you here to complete the blood oath, which can be regarded as an upfront investment. But this alone is not enough, I am different from other immortal swords, I am in a state of sealing, my true body is trapped in the underground of the North Mountain, I can't go outside, if you want to really get me, you need to help me unlock the seal. ”
Shao Baiyu was silent, and said secretly: It sounds like a story about the big demon king seducing the guinea pig, it won't be a trap for himself.
After staying with Shen Fei for a long time, he was somewhat contaminated with some oily air, and asked tentatively: "Dare to ask the predecessor why he was sealed here, where is the seal, and how to unseal it." ”
In fact, Shao Baiyu is most concerned about the first question, that is, why Xihe was sealed here. If that black wriggling thing is its own body, it doesn't look like a good thing. He longs for power, but he also remembers the teachings of the green ox immortals, and will not do anything to pursue power persistently.
Xihe has lived for thousands of years and experienced all the vicissitudes of life, how could he not see through him, and said at the moment: "My seal is a formation composed of the six main peaks of Shu Mountain, and the eye of the formation is the North Mountain where we are now, if you want to unlock the seal, you must get rid of the seal prohibition on the top of the six peaks in turn, and then shatter the North Mountain Body, only in this way can I get out." As for why I was sealed in the first place, this is still a secret at this stage, and you will know when the time comes, so I can't say it for the time being. Seeing Shao Baiyu's complicated expression and the intention of retreating, Xi He added: "You must now think that I have done something unforgivable to be sealed here, thinking that I have provoked the plague god and wants to escape immediately."
You have this kind of thinking, which proves that you are decent in thinking and upright in heart, which is very good, and it also indirectly proves my vision. But you also have to understand two points, first, the secret that cannot be said does not necessarily mean evil, and there may be unspeakable hidden; second, my power spans the ages, unparalleled in the world, and I can tell you clearly that the power is even higher than that of Wang Jian Jiulong and Shoujian Star Soul, which can be seen from the several layers of seals on my body, and I need to use one of the six peaks of Shu Mountain and one of the main peaks to suppress me, and the power of my heyday can be seen. And you just need power to the extreme, so you need me. ”
"I crave power, but I won't do anything to pursue it, and I won't break the seal on you if you can't give me a reasonable explanation. ”
"You lie. You're lying. When you hold me tightly, if you don't have the ultimate thirst for power, you are already trapped in a spinning world, and you will never come back. Do you think you can avoid the "Dao" chosen in your heart, even if you avoid it, how can your realm break through? Young man, only by following your heart and following your instincts can you gain the ultimate power, I think you should understand this truth. ”
Shao Baiyu was speechless, remembering that when he was in Sky City, the hidden master who didn't know his identity also guided himself to follow his instincts and exert his strength to the extreme. Now that Xi He is saying this, is it really wrong to pursue the right path? If that is the case, why can the head of the sect be so strong?
Shao Baiyu fell into the paradox of "thought", unable to extricate himself, and his originally firm belief was resolved by the other party's words.
Xihe saw that it was the right time, and said with added vinegar: "What's more, I could have made up a story to deceive you, but I didn't, why do you think it is, I have a hard time, Bai Yu." ”
Xihe's words penetrated people's hearts, setting off turbulent waves in Shao Baiyu's heart, causing him to stand on the ground powerlessly.
This situation should not have happened to Shao Baiyu, because he had always had a clear goal, and it was the deviation between what he thought and reality in the other space that disturbed his judgment.
Excalibur emitted a fluorescent glow alone, suspended not far away, as if sneering. The eye of the apocalypse was faintly painful, Shao Baiyu was clear, sat upright, exhaled, inhaled, inhaled several times, and finally stabilized, and when he looked up again, a sharp light shot out of his eyes.
"You're bewitching me. ”
"I'm helping you see your heart. ”
Shao Baiyu looked at him deeply, and the divine sword did not move.
"What about your true body, don't you dare to show your true face?"
"You haven't seen the real body. ”
"Black Snake?"
"Earthworms. ”
"I evolved step by step from the bottom, the weakest earthworm in the food chain. ”
"Earthworms?"
"I can't imagine that a chance and perseverance have made me where I am today. ”
"But in the end, he was sealed as a sword spirit. ”
"Huh. ”
"It seems that you and I need each other. Shao Baiyu's tone changed abruptly.
Xi He had expected this to be the case, and when this man climbed the North Mountain, it had already expected the current result.
The relationship between Shao Baiyu and himself will maintain a balance between intimacy and alienation, until someone presses a heavy weighing stone at one end of the scale, breaking the original balance, at this time, he will need himself immensely, and he will see the light of day again.
"Alright, I'm leaving. Shao Baiyu was ready to leave.
"Take me with you. Excalibur spits.
"Your body can leave Kitayama?"
"The sword body can, the real body can't, but even so, it's much stronger than the little bird named Honghu. The bird flapped its wings and protested angrily, but was shot down by an unknown force, and its golden feathers were scattered all over the ground, and immediately tightened its neck in fear, and chirped in good faith, "Take me with you, even if you can only exert one-ten-thousandth of your strength, it will be enough to save your life at a critical moment." ”
"Hehe, I haven't promised to break the seal on you. ”
"You're going to do it sooner or later. ”
"Are you so sure?" (To be continued.) )
