It's getting dark. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Looking at the three black smoke and dust in the distance, Xu Chen suddenly felt a chill in his body, frost gradually froze on his eyelashes, and the clothes on his body became thin and brittle, because he could clearly see the true appearance of the three dark smoke and dust.
It was not smoke, but countless rays of light or fragments of light, and when the black light and the fragments of black light came together, it became the darkest smoke in the world, as if it could swallow all other rays.
Because of the fear in his heart, he subconsciously waved his hand, wanting to use the willow branches in his hand to smoke and disperse the three clouds of black smoke and dust.
On the shore of the Holy Lake, Xu Chen was struggling on the edge of breaking through the realm.
On the snow cliff about dozens of miles away from the Holy Lake, Chen Lujie, who had entered the Six Realms Covenant with Xu Chen at the cost of his entire life, had also stepped on the threshold of the realm of knowing the destiny of heaven.
Stepping on the threshold with one foot on the threshold is not stable, and it may move forward or backwards, as if standing on the dividing line between two worlds, or embracing the divine light, or falling and sinking.
Chen Lujie has been sitting quietly on the snow cliff for a long time, the wind and snow in the mountains are covered with a thick layer on the right half of his body, like armor, and the left half of his body is as usual in the world of the valley, half snow and half new, this picture looks really weird.
Suddenly, he stood up, calmly dusted off the snow covering his body, and didn't care about leaving the cliff of enlightenment, so he slowly walked to the bottom of the cliff and caught a snow sheep.
Then he let the snow sheep goat.
With his back to the verdant and the snow-capped mountains, he thoughtfully and thoughtfully as if he had sensed the greenery of the valley spreading up the cliff like a mountain vine, and the grass grew like stars among the snow under his feet.
If you want to get out of the fence, why bother to be trapped in the fence?
Standing in front of the verdant valley, looking at the barren snow-capped mountains, Chen Lujie was silent, knowing that he was facing a choice again, and the result of the choice was not important, the key was the spirit shown when choosing, so this time he did not hesitate at all, turned around and walked towards the verdant valley.
As soon as the soles of his boots left the remnant snow, the wind and snow on the top of the snow cliff and the peaks behind him suddenly stopped, and he looked up, only to see the thick lead cloud disappear at some point, revealing the clear sky behind him.
The blue and tranquil sky was an objective and real existence, but the sky that appeared in his Dao heart was different, half of it was a quiet black, and the other half was starry and dazzling.
Standing between light and darkness again, he shook his head with a smile after a little silence, and continued to walk on the side of the snow cliff near the verdant valley, and with each step, a few grasses would grow next to his boots, and the grass would magically become more and more lush, gradually covering the entire snow cliff.
At the end of the snow cliff, the fence that had trapped him for many days had already been scattered on the ground, and the top of one of the firewood trees could faintly be seen as starry green. The green, though faint but condensed, was faintly pure, and when he got closer, he saw that it was a leaf about the size of a fingernail, glowing with a faint green.
This firewood is completely lifeless, but at this time it gives birth to new shoots, especially looking at the growth rate of this new shoot, it may not be long before more green leaves will be born, and maybe even a beautiful flower will eventually be born.
Chen Lujie quietly looked at the tender green green sprouts on the top of the firewood, although there was no expression on his face, but deep in his heart he was already warm and extremely moved, the so-called knowing the destiny of heaven is to understand the origin of the world, to grasp the laws of heaven and earth vitality and even the laws of life, only such a cultivator can be regarded as truly attaining the Tao, at this time he is only a line away from the realm of knowing his fate, and there is no obstacle in the heart of the Dao can stop him.
As long as the green leaves are full and the petals are exhausted, they can break through.
However, the expression on his face gradually became solemn, because at the moment of breaking the realm, he was most afraid of being disturbed.
At this moment, the sound of the wind in the clothes sounded.
A red-clothed Daoist Ye Hongyu appeared on the snow cliff, his black Dao bun was slightly messy, and his beautiful face was slightly tired, he should have consumed a lot of energy in the chase with Tang Xiaotang.
She glanced at Chen Lujie, her clear and cold eyes showed a hint of burning and appreciation, but she didn't make any moves, and sat down not far from him without saying a word, looking around indifferently.
Chen Lujie nodded to her to express his gratitude, then sat down next to the firewood that gave off the buds, slowly closed his eyes and waited silently for the moment when the flowers bloomed, calmly and joyfully welcoming the arrival of the realm of knowing fate.
In the depths of the valley, on the shore of the holy lake, Xu Chen hung his head slightly on the stone, as if he had fallen asleep, and the willow branch he held in his hand trembled in the lake from time to time as his body rose and fell.
There was a fish swimming in the depths of the lake, the tail of the fish swaying a little strangely, mainly because the rhythm of the bouncing was not as light as that of its companion, and it seemed to be a little tired, and by the light shining into the water on the surface of the lake, it saw the fluttering willow branch, and swam over, and carefully and gently held it in the mouth of the fish.
The fish knew whether it was a willow branch, or a white, fat, and ugly willow branch blistered by the lake, and there was no meat or insects on it, but it wanted to swim over and hold it, because the fish always felt that it should be there, and that it was born there, because the closeness of the cronies revealed on the willow branch was like a part of its own body.
He lifted the willow branch and found a fish hanging from the branch, the fish kept shaking its tail and splashing in all directions, but the strange thing was that no matter how it bounced and struggled, the fish's lips bit the willow branch tightly and refused to let go.
Xu Chen thought to himself, this fish is really stupid.
Thousands of miles in circumference, Haohan is like a starry sky at night, and that verdant valley is just a very inconspicuous small place in the Heavenly Forsaken Mountain Range, and there are more strange snowy peaks and chaotic cliffs.
Two extremely straight and dangerous cliff peaks, relatively silent for tens of millions of years, in the middle is a bottomless terrifying canyon, two people sit silently on the two cliff peaks, just like the cliff itself is relatively silent.
On the cliff peak to the east sits a Taoist priest, with quiet eyebrows and eyes and a thin figure, wearing a thin light shirt with no collar in moon white, carrying a thin wooden sword without sheaths, and still combing his black hair into a Taoist bun, with a very ordinary ebony fork, not as unshakable as a green pine, but more like a cloud attached to the beautiful sky and scenery.
On the cliff peak to the west sat a man, with calm eyebrows and eyes and a strong figure, wrapped in a winter jacket made of animal skins and cotton skins, his hands were empty and there were no weapons, the muscles bulging slightly under his clothes seemed to contain infinite strength, and his bare legs were casually put on boots that he had picked up from nowhere, as if he could trample the sky with one foot.
Tang Xiaotang, who had clear eyebrows and eyes, stood behind the man, holding the blood-red giant knife tightly with both hands, and looked vigilantly at the negative sword Taoist sitting between the cliff peaks opposite, and his body felt a little cold.
She knew who the Taoist priest on the other side was, and she knew even more that the two cliff peaks were separated by a deep canyon, which seemed insurmountable, but whether it was her brother or the Taoist priest between the cliff peaks opposite, as long as they wanted, they could meet at any time.
A cold wind blew in the canyon, and the Taoist priest on the cliff peak in the east moved his clothes lightly, and slowly spoke, separated by a distance of dozens of zhang, but the voice was so clear, as if it sounded in everyone's ears.
"I haven't seen you for fourteen years, and you're still as cautious as a stone. ”
Shen said: "The proud Ye Yao doesn't seem to be so proud anymore. ”
"You have watched me for three days and three nights, do you plan to keep it all the time? ”
Shen said, "This is our place. ”
Ye Yao shook his head and said, "But the Book of Heaven is our Book of Heaven. ”
Shen shook his head and said indifferently: "This book of heaven is our book of heaven. ”
Ye Yao said: "The Demon Sect has withered, the rest of the tributaries have disappeared, your teacher has not appeared in the world for a long time, I am afraid that it has already disappeared, only your brother and sister are left, how can you stop the torrent of fate?"
Shen said: "There are pillars in the middle. ”
Ye Yao looked at him quietly, and suddenly said, "You don't make a move because you have a reason why you don't make a move." ”
Shen looked at him indifferently and said, "If you don't make a move, naturally there are reasons for you." ”
After Ye Yao was silent for a moment, he said: "I waited for fourteen years before I had an opportunity to ask him for advice, if I fought with you before that, it would be too disrespectful to this opportunity, myself and him." ”
Shen said indifferently: "It's not reasonable, you are not qualified to shoot at him at all." ”
Ye Yao smiled slightly and said, "You always have to give it a try, are you interested?"
Shen shook his head and said directly: "I'm not his opponent, and my reason is not him." ”
Ye Yao raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Have you seen him?"
Nod cautiously.
Ye Yao said: "Since there is a reason not to make a move, do you really want to continue to look at this cliff peak?"
Shen raised his eyes into the distance, looked at a place in the vast mountain range, and said, "Which of these two children do you think will break through the realm first?"
Ye Yao followed his gaze and said calmly: "Daomen is in the same vein, I naturally believe in that prince." ”
Shen said: "I trust Xu Chen, because he is a disciple of Xuanwei and a disciple of Lu Yin. ”
Ye Yao stopped talking.
Shen also stopped talking.
The two were silent on their respective cliffs, and the bet had been made.
Xu Chen didn't know whether he had broken through the realm or not, it was no longer just a gambling contract between him and Chen Lujie, but a more important external plate was derived, which indirectly affected the two truly powerful world walkers.
His demeanor and behavior didn't even show any anxiety and nervousness, as if he was not affected by this boundary breaking covenant at all, took the stupid fish from the lakeside, and then waved his hand to Duanmu Rong to get out of the way, and took out all the spices and animal oil he could find in his luggage, and prepared to cut a fish to eat.
The fish in the sacred lake are delicate, fat, and scaleless, especially the abdomen seems to be transparent, and when he puts it into the frying pan, with a sizzling sound, there is a strange fragrance.
Xu Chen held a branch, stood by the fire, looked at the color of the fish skin in the pot very seriously and attentively, frowned, and seemed more serious than when he cultivated the realm of enlightenment, and only after a long time would he turn it.
He did not choose firewood, but chose the Fu fire very extravagantly, the temperature control was extremely accurate, while carefully frying the fish, while explaining to Duanmu Rong: "Frying fish is such a thing, the heat is the most critical, and it must not be turned casually, this thing is like governing the country and cultivation, strategically we can despise it, tell ourselves that frying fish is a, tactically we must pay attention to it, we must be cautious." ”
Duanmu Rong was begged by him to give up the two fire talismans, thinking about cooking with the talismans, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable and distressed, and then listening to his explanation, he felt that it seemed to be the case.
