Chapter 2 The Bottomless Canyon
Outside the window, it was white.
The skyboat had descended below the clouds, and in the current season, it was frost and snow, and the mountains were covered in plain water, but there was a huge canyon that spanned the earth and divided the mountain peaks into two sections, and the deep black cliffs stretched endlessly downward, as if there was no end.
This is one of the natural dividing lines between West Mountain and Midstate, the bottomless canyon.
Whether the bottomless canyon is really bottomless or not, the people present do not know, but this is indeed a fierce place, many people who came to explore for this head have disappeared after going down, and Zhenyuan Sect and the court of the new dynasty have only set up some simple formations on this dividing line, and the strength is so low that as long as they are intentional, it is impossible to break it.
It is rumored that there is a great demon in ancient times living in this canyon, just like the dragon god in Qinghai Lake and the beast king in the mountain range, as a great demon who coexists peacefully with humans, the new dynasty and Zhenyuan Sect do not invade each other, and those who have explored and come back alive are also afraid to say that in the dark depths of thousands of meters, there is a strong wind.
It's like there's something terrible there's breathing.
But after all these years, no one has ever descended to the bottom, so the mystery of the bottomless canyon still attracts many people to explore.
Listening to the discussion of the people around him, Gao Chuan became a little interested, he turned his head to Shao Cang, who was frowning, and said, "But wherever there is a canyon, there must be a bottom, it's just too deep, but no one has been able to penetrate the bottom for so many years, and there must be something unusual about it." ”
"This is natural, maybe there are really ancient giant demons lurking in it, but since they don't do evil, the sect and the imperial court don't have much strength to clean up this level of demon beasts, not to mention how many people will die, the drastic changes in the terrain caused by the fight between the two sides are enough for everyone to drink a pot. ”
Shao Cang, who was still thinking, looked out the window, and quickly said, "I came here to play when I was a child, and I am quite familiar with this, but now we are flying in the sky, looking down from a high place, so we don't feel anything, but if you are on the ground, you can feel the kind of courage that the canyon brings you." ”
"Yes. ”
Curiously continuing, Gao Chuan nodded, "Actually, even if you look down like this, it's beautiful enough." ”
The black cliff face is layered, with a few pine trees growing out of the cracks in the protruding rock, and the ice hangs below it, hanging in the air.
There is even a river channel that is completely frozen, like a silver ribbon, turning into an ice bridge and reaching the bottom of the gorge.
"It's a beautiful sight indeed. ”
He commented.
Crossing this canyon, then it is already very close to the location of the Zhenyuan Sect's sect.
Zhenxi Tianguan is in the other direction, and the sky boat walks a straight line distance in the air, so it doesn't care about the terrain on the ground and the direction of the mountains, and it naturally seems to be very fast.
"The speed of the skyboat has slowed down. ”
I seemed to hear someone nearby.
"It's natural, even though it's winter, we still have to be careful of the monsters and birds that are everywhere in the mountains, although we are not afraid, but it is always right to cause less trouble. ”
"Speaking of which, why don't we kill all these monsters? What do we have to keep them for?
Some people seem to be a little puzzled.
"Heavenly reincarnation, natural selection, this demon beast is not an evil demon outside the sky, although it is dangerous, but at least it is also a part of heaven and earth, if you kill them all, the entire natural ecology will be completely unbalanced, and it is not a good thing for us...... This is one of the subjects of the Tibetan lineage, if you are interested, you can go after joining the sect."
"Yes, but I'm not very interested in the Tibetan system, but the Wanhua system is more interesting. ”
The topic changed in an instant, and the surrounding students had already begun to discuss excitedly what direction they should choose to practice after entering the sect, which made Gao Chuan, who was still a little hesitant in this regard, begin to have a sense of urgency.
Although he has always claimed to be a cultivator of the supernatural power, that is, the ancient name of the Ascension Department, Gao Chuan has never had a clear understanding of his talent and cultivation direction, as a half-way monk, he has not received an orthodox education so far, only the materials in the core that have mostly become antiques can provide him with some experience.
Although he is now very powerful as a cultivator of the Divine Power Department, what if he is actually more suitable for the Magic Department, or even the Array Spirit Pattern? Of course, this probability is extremely low, but I have to say that there is still such a possibility.
"Anyway, I've already walked more than half of this supernatural path, even if I'm a formation genius...... Tsk, I don't even believe myself, what the hell are you worried about......"
Suddenly realizing that he was worried about something indifferent, Gao Chuan couldn't help but feel ridiculous, "I really didn't expect that I would be nervous, and I was too much to look forward to what this Zhenyuan Sect was like, and I was a little too much." ”
"Oh, Senior Brother, do you want to know what Zhenyuan Sect looks like? I came up with my father once before. ”
Wang Zheng, who was carving something on a long stick not far away, heard Gao Chuan's self-talk, and responded casually, his eyes did not take off the iron rod in his hand, "The thirteen floating cities of the human race, one for each of the ten major heavenly sects and the three major dynasties, as the location of the mountain gate and the capital of the country, you must know this." ”
"The mountain gate of Zhenyuan Sect is also a floating city, as for what it is......" Wang Zheng was silent for a while, as if he was thinking, but after a moment he gave up, "Forget it, I haven't studied Chinese intensively anyway, I don't know how to say it, anyway, I know." ”
“......”
Gao Chuan didn't know what was going on, but he always felt that he seemed to have heard this sentence many times.
These people in Zhenyuan Sect seem to like to sell Guanzi - love, obviously it's not that they don't know, but they don't want to say it!
"As you ......"
Shaking his head and saying, Gao Chuan sat back on his own actions, Shao Cang was still thinking about the main points of his gathering, and it seemed that he had gained a little, so he didn't frown.
"Speaking of which, where did your sister Zhao Mian go?"
Asked casually, Gao Chuan was also a little bored now, so he casually found a topic, "I want to talk to her about that experiment, although I agreed before, but I don't know what is going on." ”
"This one...... She's supposed to wash her armor now, right? ”
His expression froze, and Wang Zheng's heart tightened--trouble is coming.
Originally, according to estimates, with Gao Chuan's somewhat weird character, it was estimated that he would not ask this question until he arrived at the sect, but he didn't expect to suddenly ask it today without knowing what was going on.
It could have been delayed for a while, but what should I do now, should I tell the truth and explain it all? If I lie, I will definitely be able to see through it quickly...... Although there is no change on Wang Zheng's face, he is actually a little hesitant, although there is indeed nothing wrong with that experiment, but the second sister's research direction is too weird, as long as she is a normal person, she can't accept it...... But it's really hard to divide people like Gao Chuan into normal people...... As for the disadvantages, except that it hurts when the experiment fails, there are no sequelae, and there is indeed some strength growth, but why not tell him in advance?
As for the possibility of success, he didn't think about it at all, not to mention that he would suffer a lot of pain during the experiment, and ordinary people simply didn't have enough spiritual power reserves to complete the experiment.
Gao Chuan didn't notice Wang Zheng's rich inner reaction, and after hearing Zhao Mian go to wash her huge armor, he let out a casual sigh and turned his head to observe the other situations around him.
Recalling the silver-haired girl's words of 'I've seen him before', he couldn't help but feel that this guy was a little familiar.
"When did I see her? Why don't I remember seeing such a beautiful girl at all?"
He muttered in a low voice, his expression a little weird, "Because of my core, my face has indeed become a little younger, and I am even a little shorter in height, is it because of this?" but even so...... I've never met a silver-haired girl like this in my life, but it doesn't seem to be a lie......"
"Well, it doesn't matter. ”
Takakawa gave up thinking.
