One-two-four: Sitting
When Shangguan Qianye realized the original intention of the Xuan Maze Array being designed, he let go of all his burdens, and at the same time accelerated the pace of his search.
Shangguan Qianye hurriedly walked forward, and didn't go far before he felt another click under his feet. He was instinctively stunned for a moment when he heard the voice, and then secretly said in his heart: "What are you afraid of? After all, it's not a big deal, it's just to suffer a little more." ”
Shangguan Qianye was ruthless, and took another step forward. When his front foot was just standing firm, and his back foot was about to be raised, there was another snap, and the mechanism of the back foot bounced his whole leg up at once.
The force of the bounce this time was very strong, and Shangguan Qianye did not have any mental preparation, so his whole body leaned forward with the elevation of his hind legs, and his body was parallel to the ground, and his whole body stood there supported by only one leg.
Before he could let go of his bounced leg, from the ground around his body, suddenly a hundred and ten sharp knives were raised, each almost the length of his leg.
In this way, Shangguan Qianye was forced to no longer be able to change his posture, and could only maintain the movement of his body parallel to the ground, standing there with only one foot.
Although Shangguan Qianye has many years of martial arts skills, this posture still makes him a little unbearable, and it doesn't take long for him to feel that the leg he is carrying is shaking, and his back hurts so much that he is about to break.
He knew that this was another test of his endurance, but how long would it last, and whether he would be able to sustain it until the last moment. He didn't have an answer to all this.
Shangguan Qianye was sweating all over his body, and his supported legs were shaking, but he couldn't change his movements and rest for a while. Because no matter what part there is, the slightest drop will be pierced by this sharp knife under the body.
He held the torch in one hand and the seven-eyed remnant dragon in the other, and before he knew it, his whole body began to ossify, but he could only grit his teeth and hold on.
It took a quarter of an hour for the knife on the ground to be retracted with a bang, but Shangguan Qianye's body. It's so stiff that it can't be restored.
He had no choice but to use all his strength to let himself fall to the ground, and after a period of adjustment. The qi and blood gradually returned to smoothness.
Shangguan Qianye stood up, didn't think much about it, and continued to move forward. As he passed through a few more caves, a pool of clear water appeared in front of him. blocked the way.
For him, who grew up by the sea. Swimming in the water is not a difficult task. He carried his seven-eyed remnant dragon on his back, and jumped into the water with a torch in one hand.
When he jumped into the water, he felt something strange, it turned out that the water was biting cold, and there was a huge force attracting him. Shangguan Qianye didn't swim far before he was dragged to the bottom of the pool by that powerful force.
Shangguan Qianye, who was submerged in the pool, struggled several times, but could not get out. At this time, he realized that it was not his body that was sucked at the bottom of the pool. It's the seven-eyed remnant dragon behind him.
Seeing that he no longer had the ability to hold on in the water, he had no choice but to untie the knife behind his back. Only then did he emerge from the water and take a deep breath.
However, this knife was given to him by the Tieshan monk, and seeing the knife was like seeing his own master, how could he discard it? Shangguan Qianye dived under the water again, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't lift the seven-eyed remnant dragon under the water.
At this time, he understood that there must be a huge magnet hidden at the bottom of the pool, so he would suck the knife in. Now Shangguan Qianye has been frozen by the icy pool water and shivered all over, and his upper and lower teeth are constantly knocking on each other. But no matter what, I can't abandon the knife and walk away.
Fortunately, the lombok on the knife body helped a lot, although the blade of the knife could no longer be lifted from the bottom of the water, but it could also use steel balls to roll under the water.
When he finally insisted on sliding the seven-eyed remnant dragon from the bottom of the water to the opposite bank, Shangguan Qianye, who fell to the ground and was convulsing, could no longer stand up.
After holding on to the cold water for such a long time, the bone marrow of his whole body was frozen, and he could no longer feel the slightest temperature in his body, so he could only curl up and fall asleep groggyly.
When he opened his eyes again, the pine branches that had been soaked in water were already dry. Shangguan Qianye didn't know that he had been trapped in the Xuan Maze Array for almost three days now.
At this time, his body was severely overdrawn, not only did he have no food, but he also suffered all the way.
Shangguan Qianye lit the torch again, and now the knife in his hand had become heavy, so he had to carry it on his back. Although he became the last of the strong crossbows, he still did not give up, because when he came to find the master this time, the task he gave himself was not to do his best, but to must.
He barely supported himself to continue walking, I don't know how far he had gone, under the light of the fire, he found a back, this back was familiar to him, it couldn't be more kind, Shangguan Qianye shouted in a lost voice: "Master!" He finally found the Tieshan monk.
Shangguan Qianye ran over desperately, only to see the Tieshan monk sitting there, already dying. In his arms, he held Granny Moon, who was covered in blood and had died.
He was stunned by everything in front of him, although he had thought about such a scene countless times before entering the Xuan Maze Array, but when he really saw it with his own eyes, he still couldn't accept it.
Shangguan Qianye cried and kept calling, and it took a while for the Tieshan monk to slowly open his eyes, and when he saw his disciple, he also looked very surprised.
The Tieshan monk said in a trembling voice: "Qianye, why did you come in too?, my child, I don't know how much you have suffered to find here." ”
Shangguan Qianye said: "Master, I don't have anything. But how did you and Granny Moon come to be like this? Is it really worth it for you to do this for the sake of Shadow Rulai?"
Tieshan said: "Child, although Granny Moon and I have not been able to be by his side, our feelings for him are the same as for you. There is a reason why we do this, but it is that you have come to us because of the bitterness. ”
Shangguan Qianye said: "Master, the suffering I have suffered is the same as the suffering you have suffered, and I can persist in such suffering." ”
Tieshan Jushi said: "Silly boy, the reason why Granny Moon and I agreed to this condition is that we actually came prepared, because many years ago, I had some understanding of the Xuan Maze Array. ”
Shangguan Qianye said, "Master, do you know how to get out of this formation?"
The Iron Mountain Monk said, "I don't know, and I've never entered this formation. However, I still heard my seniors talk about this formation, so I am still somewhat sure in my heart. There are a total of five levels in this mysterious maze array, which are called: Alarm Bell Ringing, Skynet Restoration, Descending Immortals, Putting Down the Butcher Knife and Rebirth. Now that you've arrived here, it means you've passed the first four levels, and you're only missing the last one. ”
Shangguan Qianye said: "Master, since you know all these mechanisms, why does Granny Moon ...... her?"
Tieshan monk said: "This last level is called rebirth, in fact, it is a hot spring, the temperature of the spring water is very high, as long as you endure the scalding of the spring water, you can find the exit by swimming to the other side." But no one has been in here for many years, so things have changed. As the temperature of the hot spring drops, a giant beast grows in the spring. Hey, it's also because of my carelessness that Granny Moon will be harmed by the giant beast. After saying these words, the Iron Mountain Monk was also secretly sad.
Shangguan Qianye said: "Master, since we have all come here, then you should go out with the apprentices." ”
The Iron Mountain Monk shook his head and said, "Qianye, although I have killed that giant beast, I was also seriously injured when I fought it in the water. I knew I had lost so much blood that I wouldn't have to go out again. ”
Shangguan Qianye said: "Master, don't worry, no matter what, I won't leave you here, I will definitely be able to rescue you." ”
Tieshan said: "No need, I have been defeated by Granny Moon for so many years, and now I can be buried here with her, which is also my greatest wish, let me accompany her here to make up for the debt to her life." ”
Shangguan Qianye still wanted to continue to persuade, but Tieshan Jushi shook his head and said, "Qianye, don't say any more, I know that I don't have much time left, and I'm already glad that you can come here." But before we leave, there's one more thing on my mind, and I hope you can help me with that. ”
Shangguan Qianye said: "Master, you said, the disciple must do his best. ”
Tieshan monk said: "We agreed to this condition of Zhangying Rulai, but we didn't do it. And you are my disciple, and when I die, you will be as if I were alive. This time, even if you leave the Xuan Maze Array instead of us, when you return to the Supreme Peak, you must persuade him with kind words, let him know his way and apologize to the world. Only then can Granny Moon and I be considered to be worthy of death. I hope you will be able to fulfill this last wish of ours. ”
When the Tieshan monk finished saying these words, Shangguan Qianye was in a dilemma. He entered the Xuanmaze this time, just thinking about telling the master what was happening outside, so that they could go back with him. But I didn't expect that Master's life was hanging by a thread, at this time, how could I bear to tell him the news that Zhangying Rulai was dead?
But if you can't tell me directly, then you are deceiving the master, how can you bear it?
The Tieshan monk looked at Shangguan Qianye and said, "Qianye, you don't have to be embarrassed, although Zhangying Rulai's kung fu is extremely high, and he has evil thoughts in his heart. But you have to remember that everyone has a good side, and as long as you treat each other with sincerity, then he will change his mind. ”
After hearing this, Shangguan Qianye didn't dare to look at the eyes of the Tieshan monk again, so he could only crawl on the ground and keep kowtowing: "Master, please rest assured, the disciple will definitely do a good job of what you have explained." ”
After hearing this, Tieshan Monk looked at his disciple with a smile, he was really relieved now, he was able to accept such a good apprentice in the curtain year, and the soul of the old alliance leader would leave very peacefully.
When Shangguan Qianye raised his head, the first generation of Grandmaster Tieshan Jushi, holding the Moon Granny in his arms, with his last smile on his lips, sat there peacefully, and left the world of Suo Po forever. (To be continued......)
