Chapter 23: The Bridge
Wanhe City, located at the intersection of various countries, is not the most prosperous, but indeed the largest city. Business travelers from all over the world gather, business is prosperous, and it is the largest trade distribution center in the world.
A Jirui River runs through the city from east to west, dividing Wanhe City into two large areas: the North City and the South City. And the location of Wandao Academy is very wonderful.
Wandao Academy is located in the west-central part of Wanhe City, directly above the Jirui River, yes! Yes, it is directly above.
About 500 years ago, the earliest founders of the Wandao Academy used the Gongtian method to create a piece of land out of thin air above the Jirui River, which was called the Hanging Island.
There are two bridges on the hanging island, leading to the north and south banks of the Jirui River respectively, standing at the bottom of the bridge, you can only see more than 100 steps, and then go up to the clouds and fairy mist, the mist is hazy.
Mu Sheng and the three of them entered the city, and Bai Ze took them all the way to the Nanqiao Bridge.
"Alright, here we go. Bai Ze had already changed back into the form of an aries, and suddenly spit out a blue feather from his mouth, which was much smaller than the one that Zhiwei was going to pull before, only the length of his palm.
"Give, take. Bai Ze handed the feather to Mu Sheng and said, "You put away this feather, if you encounter any situation that you can't deal with, inject your true qi into the feather stalk, and I will come to help you." ”
"Hmm, aren't you going with us?" Mu Sheng wondered.
"Hmph! Lord Ben's status is noble, how can I condescend to wander around in this small courtyard, I still have important things to do, say goodbye!" Bai Ze finished speaking, opened his limbs, and left with his head held high.
"Bai Ze..."Zhiwei wanted to speak and stopped, after all, she had been together for a while, and she was a little reluctant to separate.
"Let's go! After all, it's going to the academy, and it's always inconvenient to bring a strange beast. Mu Sheng comforted.
Sheng Yu looked at the bridge that could not be seen at the other end, and then glanced at Mu Sheng Zhiwei, and the three of them climbed the stairs and set off towards the clouds.
After walking for about half an hour, Zhiwei was so tired that she was out of breath. He sat down on the steps and said, "How far is this?"
"Mu Sheng. "Shengyu said.
"Huh?"
"Do you feel anything is wrong?" Shengyu said solemnly.
"Huh?" Mu Sheng pondered for a moment, raised his head suddenly, and said, "Illusion!"
"What?" exclaimed.
"Shengyu, you and Zhiwei stay here, I'll take a look!"
"Okay, be careful. ”
Mu Sheng didn't dare to be careless, he sank into the dantian, mobilized the true qi of his body, silently recited the magic in his mouth, and shouted in a low voice: "Ten Directions!" blessed himself with a qi shield, gave Sheng Yu a reassuring look, and walked forward.
Mu Sheng walked cautiously, but there was nothing around except the bridge, and after walking for half a pillar of incense, suddenly, two figures appeared in front of him.
"Shengyu, Zhiwei?" Mu Sheng said in surprise.
"Mu Sheng!" Sheng Yu was also really startled, Mu Sheng was obviously going to the front before, why did he come from behind at this time?
"What's going on?" said Shengyu.
"I don't know!" Mu Sheng said, walking all the way without any danger, and he didn't feel any discomfort.
"I'll see if I can dispel this fog!" Mu Sheng said.
Mu Sheng put his palms together, his true qi was infused, and he muttered words, and drank: "The evil spirit retreats!"
The surging true qi centered on Mu Sheng, forming a tornado, the air flow vortex became larger and larger, gradually spreading out in all directions, and the surrounding fog retreated into the distance, but there was still no change.
"No, it doesn't seem to be an illusion, it's some kind of mechanism. Mu Sheng gasped and sat down.
"I'll try!" as he spoke, Sheng Yu took off the Silent Bow and condensed his true qi, transforming it into a blue arrow and placing it on the string. Facing the void ahead.
"Seven Styles of Silence - Demon Breaking Arrow!" Sheng Yu shouted, the arrow left the string, and disappeared into the void in an instant, only to hear the sharp arrow whistling from near and far, slowly weakening, and suddenly, the sound became sharp again.
"Oh no! be careful!" exclaimed Mu Sheng.
Sheng Yu also reacted, instantly pulled out the dagger on his waist, and turned to block in front of him. Hearing only a "ding" sound, the blue arrow hit the dagger, and the blade immediately shattered into countless pieces, and Shengyu was also knocked to the ground by this huge force.
"It's okay!" Mu Sheng said hurriedly.
"No... It's okay!" Sheng Yu rubbed his numb arm, looked at the debris on the ground, and said bitterly: "I almost died in my own hands!
The three of them sat on the ground, dying for a long time, not knowing what to do.
"Why don't we go back first, rest in the city tonight, and ask someone?" Zhiwei said.
"Well, it can only be as follows..."
"Wait!" Before Sheng Yu finished speaking, Mu Sheng hurriedly interrupted and said, "Go back?"
Mu Sheng suddenly stood up, looked at the way he came, and said: "Whether this is an illusion or a mechanism, the purpose is just to block people from coming to the door, Shengyu!"
"Huh?"
"Can you still shoot an arrow?" asked Mu Sheng.
"Yes. ”
"Okay, this time you aim the way we came, and listen to me. Mu Sheng said.
"Good. Although he didn't know what Mu Sheng was going to do, Shengyu still did it, holding the bow, condensing the arrows, pulling the strings, and aiming.
Mu Sheng's True Qi rotated, turning it into a slender ribbon and tying it to the tail of the arrow.
"Put!" Mu Sheng shouted.
I saw the arrow dragging Mu Sheng's true qi ribbon and quickly sank into the mist. Mu Sheng and Sheng Yu immediately squatted down and listened carefully to the sound.
The sound of arrows whistling from near to far gradually disappeared, and suddenly, a "pop" sounded and the Mu Sheng True Qi ribbon was no longer elongated.
Mu Sheng and Sheng Yu glanced at each other and pulled Zhiwei up.
"Let's go!" Mu Sheng said happily.
The three of them walked along the True Qi Ribbon all the way, and soon saw a stone archway with the word "Nanyuan" written on it. Passing through the archway, a vermilion gate comes into view, how high is this door? I can't see it, I can only see that the ten zhang upward place is not in the white fairy lan.
"Haha, we found it!" Mu Sheng said happily.
"Why is this door so deserted?" Zhiwei wondered.
"Yes!" Mu Sheng said, it is also the number one university in the world, not to mention the city, but this is indeed too deserted, and there is no one.
"Mu Sheng, take the exercises!" Sheng Yu said.
"Oh" Mu Sheng saw that one end of the True Qi Ribbon was still on the red gate, and the door had been knocked down by a groove at this time.
"Good solid door. Sheng Yu said secretly in his heart.
"How do you get in?" Zhiwei muttered, knock on the door first!
Zhiwei walked to the door and slapped it hard, the red door made a crisp crashing sound, like slapping on a stone, not moving at all, Zhiwei shouted loudly: "Is there anyone?
I shouted for a long time, but there was no response.
Mu Sheng rummaged in the ribbon for a long time, found a stone hammer, and took it out.
"I'll do it!" Shengyu took the stone hammer and slammed it above his head, trying to smash it towards the red door.
"Boy, stop it..."
