Chapter 66: The Old Man in White
Half a month later, a few people came to the border of Luoguo, but at this time, Bo Yao and Lin Peng resigned.
After asking, I found out that this Bo Tao had always wanted to go to Yue Guo's weapons academy to learn swordsmanship. It's only because Lin Peng is kind to him that he can't bear to leave. The corner of the Wu clan made him reacquaint himself with himself, and he was determined to follow his own path if he could get out of there, so he had this resignation. He handed over the poisonous stone to Lin Peng, not wanting to owe it to himself. Lin Peng confiscated it, encouraged Bo Yao to follow his own path, and took this poisonous stone as an agreement, practiced hard, and met in the upper realm.
Lin Peng and the three of them got on the road, took the map left by Bo Yao, and went straight to the Xuanfa Academy.
After another ten days, several people finally came to Qingmang Mountain, where the Xuanfa Academy was located. After nearly a month's journey, there was no danger and no more accidents.
This Qingmang Mountain is a rolling mountain, and this Xuanfa Academy is on the Luo Peak of this Qingmang Mountain, which is the second highest peak of this mountain.
Lin Peng and the others walked up the mountain road, he looked at the surrounding scenery, the trees were all lush, but there was no sound of birds and insects, nor could they see any trace of small animals, and they could even hear their own heartbeat. The road under your feet is bare, and it seems that because of this academy, there must be a lot of people coming and going.
Lin Peng and the others walked for about two hours, and at this time the sky had begun to get a little dark, but they still didn't see Luo Feng's shadow. Is this mountain so high? It's a little strange.
Lin Peng patted Bai Mo, Bai Mo climbed up the canopy with understanding, looked around, and then turned back.
Bai Mo said: "It's very strange, it stands to reason that we have walked for a long time, and we should have walked a long way, but I took a look at it above, and we should have walked dozens of feet from the beginning of the mountain." ”
Lin Peng frowned suddenly, he thought about it, could it be that there is the legendary formation of ghosts hitting the wall, no matter how you go, you will always stand still? So he used the power of Sumeru to mark a tree in the path, and sure enough, a few people walked and found the tree again.
Lin Peng waved his hand and motioned for a few people to stop. He pondered for a while, the kung fu of a cup of tea will return to its original position, then there must be a place that is the starting point of this cycle, if you break through this starting point, can you continue to move forward?
Thinking of this, he used the Wind Footwork and urged the Wind Stone, first, to feel the starting point position as quickly as possible, and second, to see if he could break through the formation at this speed. So, Yan Qing and the others saw the scene of him whistling in front of them over and over again.
After a dozen attempts, he seemed to have found the location of the starting point. So he slowly approached, and then urged the Stone of Sumeru, and shot out with a finger of "Sumeru's Blade". Just listening to the sound of "bang", something seems to be broken in front of me. He slowly leaned over, and walked forward for a distance of dozens of zhang, he looked left and right, the scene was completely different, and then Yan Qing and Bai Mo also walked over, and finally walked out.
After breaking through the formation, the surroundings seemed to change back to what it should be, with the sound of birds and insects chirping endlessly, and the roar of wild beasts in the mountains in the distance could be heard. Look at the sky, it's already a little dark. So, Lin Peng decided to rest in place and go up the mountain tomorrow.
A few people gathered some dry wood nearby and set up a fire. It is relatively unsafe in this mountain forest, and when you rest here at night, there are some snakes, insects, rats and ants, and the wild beasts of the mountains and forests will come to your door. Although a few people are not afraid, these attacks will always disturb the rest, and lighting a fire saves these troubles.
Lin Peng took out some dried meat, smoked chicken and other food, and took out a jar of wine and three wine bowls, and ate and drank with Yan Qing and a few others.
From the mortal world to this Xuanfa Academy, it can be described as twists and turns, going around and around, and in the end, the three of them have always helped each other to get here.
In the early morning of the next day, after simply eating some dry food, several people began to continue walking, preparing to reach Naluo Peak in half a day.
Two hours later, the academy seemed to be visible to the naked eye, and the rows of granite steps stretched upwards like swimming dragons, and the end of the steps was the Xuanfa Academy that several people had in mind.
Lin Pengzheng and Yan Qing were looking forward to the life in the academy, and stepped on the steps, but they didn't think that there was a force next to the steps, which directly shook him out.
He took a closer look, and there was a thin shroud of light next to the steps, and this shroud seemed to envelop the entire Luo Feng. What's going on, can't you just go in and out? It's the rule here, right?
So the three of them sat down by the steps and waited to see if anyone had come in or out, so that they could inquire about it, but at night there was no one there. That's a good thing.
In this way, the three of them waited from noon to Shen, and from Zishi to noon, and so on, two days passed, but there was still no trace of entering or leaving. Wrong Walk? School Changed Position? One question after another appeared in the minds of several people, and this also made several people more and more impatient.
Early in the morning of the third day, a burst of singing from the mountains woke up Lin Peng and the others, and finally there were people. They searched for the sound, and saw an old man with a bamboo basket on his back, dressed in white, and with gray hair, on the hillside not far away, who was holding a shovel to collect medicine.
Lin Peng hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Senior, senior, is this Xuanfa Academy still here, why can't you enter?"
The old man didn't seem to hear, and continued to dig the herbs in his hand, and never lifted them up.
