004 Luanshan faction
The navy-blue rolling mountains, stacked one after another, like the waves of the sea, stretched endlessly to the far end of the sky, disappearing into the misty depths, and those snow-covered mountains, like a group of gray-haired old men, silently looked down on the sapphire lake at their feet.
The red sun rose from the mountains, and a young man supported an old man to climb halfway up the mountain.
Shen Ming and Yu Ji's grandson hiked for more than a month and finally came to Wutai Mountain.
No one has ever known that somewhere in this lofty mountain range, it will be the road to immortality, and those who are destined to find that through that extremely ordinary layer of mist, you can vaguely smell a faint scent of sandalwood.
"Grandpa Bald, are you not feeling well?" Just yesterday, Shen Ming noticed that Yu Ji was often trembling. And today, Yu Ji's old body trembled even more, and even his eyes had a kind of fear, which made Shen Ming very worried.
Yu Ji stretched his neck and looked ahead, lowered his head with a wry smile, "Grandpa is old, let's rest." ”
"Hmm!" Shen Ming hurriedly helped Yu Ji to sit down against the mountain wall.
"Grandpa Bald, are we almost there?" asked Shen Ming expectantly.
"Soon, Ming'er will be a cultivator in the future, but you have to practice hard. Yu Ji touched Shen Ming's head and said proudly.
"When Ming'er cultivates to great power, he will definitely teach his grandfather the art of immortality, and he will definitely take revenge. ”
Yu Ji listened to the warm words and firm tone, and looked at Shen Ming's resolute and beautiful face, as if he once again saw Shen Yitian's pride when he was fighting for hegemony in the Three Kingdoms.
It was a nondescript hill, and a few footprints could tell that there were people walking around here and there. Because in recent years, the Central Plains has been fighting repeatedly, the people are miserable, and many middle-aged men have been arrested and sent to the military camp to recruit soldiers, so the villagers near Wutai Mountain will often come to the pure heart temple on the mountain to burn incense and worship the Buddha, praying for the children in the army to return safely.
But Yu Ji knelt down on this small dirt bag, leaned down in the direction of the top of the mountain, and stopped moving.
"Get down on your knees. ”
"Oh. As soon as Shen Ming heard this, he knew that he had come to the realm of cultivating immortals, and he was quite apprehensive in his heart, so he hurriedly knelt down like Yu Ji.
A quarter of an hour passed, and there was not the slightest movement, but the cold sweat oozing from Yu Ji's forehead had already wet the ground, and he still didn't dare to raise his head, only heard him choke up and said, "Disciple Qingji came to receive the punishment." ”
When Shen Ming heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head in surprise. Yu Ji once mentioned to Shen Ming that he was a fourth-generation disciple of the Luanshan faction 'Qing', and it was not surprising that he called himself 'Qingji', but Shen Ming couldn't imagine that his grandfather was guilty.
"The sinner Kiyoshi pleaded with the master to punish him. Yu Ji closed his eyes tightly with tears sliding from the corners of his eyes, and his mottled and haggard face was pressed against the ground, and tears were full of dirt.
"Hmph. A cold snort roared in his ears like a lion's roar, and the aftermath was involved in his heart, making people fearful, Shen Ming held his breath and clawed his five fingers into claws and clawed tightly on the ground, for fear that he would fall over.
"This is the strength of the immortals?" Shen Ming was panicked and excited, tilted his head slightly, and looked forward with his eyebrows raised, but there was nothing.
But when Shen Ming raised his head again, the path that had been a long and winding path leading to the Taoist temple at the top of the mountain turned into a wide open space, and in the center of the open space stood a statue nearly twenty zhang high. It was an old man, with a long white beard, thick heavy eyebrows slowly drooping down the tip of his eyebrows, and the dust in his right hand was gently leaning on his left arm, coupled with that loving eyes and gentle smile, which made people look in awe.
Behind the statue, however, was a staircase leading to the clouds, surprisingly straight and suffocatingly steep.
"Ming'er, come and meet Master Zu. Yu Ji pressed Shen Ming's shoulder, knelt down in front of the statue again, and kowtowed three times.
"Grandpa, why is there no one here?" looked at the endless steps and walked slowly.
"If you go up the stairs, you'll have someone. ”
Shen Ming buckled his head, and missed the statue's kind face. "Who did you worship just now?"
"That's the originator of my faction, the real person of the Skyclave. ”
"Wow, isn't that the same as my father?" Shen Ming stared at the big eyes and was very excited, and turned around and arched his hand as he spoke. "Is he dead?"
When Yu Ji heard this, he hurriedly raised his hand and pressed Shen Ming's mouth, "Don't talk nonsense, the ancestor has been involved in life and death two thousand years ago, and he has been defeated. ”
Shen Ming muttered, "I've been talking for a long time, and I'm not dead." ”
Yu Ji was already tired and panting, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were dripping down like raindrops, and Shen Ming was particularly distressed when he looked at it. "Grandpa Bald, Ming'er will carry you up the mountain. ”
Yu Ji shook off Shen Ming's hand and said sternly, "Absolutely not, this step has 9,999 floors, called 'Nirvana Platform'." It is intended to be 'ninety-nine to one', that is, to come from where you come from, to go to where you go, to return to ninety-nine to one, to finally realize the avenue, but also to sublimate, to recreate, and to be reborn. If you climb this Nirvana platform with external objects, it is a blasphemy against the Master. ”
"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine floors?" Shen Ming couldn't help but be embarrassed when he heard this, and quietly turned around and looked at Lu Xia. "Ah!" Shen Ming sat straight to the ground, cold sweat broke out in his palms from time to time, only to see that the steps he had just walked had been entangled in thick clouds, and there was a vast white ocean in front of him, and even the sculpture under the steps could no longer be seen.
"Hmph, you sinful person, why do you have the face to talk about the word 'blasphemy' in front of the Sky Realm Master. ”
Shen Ming looked at the scene in front of him, and suddenly felt that his heartbeat had stopped, a person in a Taoist robe, a black hairpin passed through the high convex bun, looking at the head shape like a gourd, I saw him standing straight on top of a long sword, flying through the clouds.
"Senior Brother Qingshu. Yu Ji bent down slightly, looked up at the man who stepped on the sword in the sky, and said. This surprised Shen Ming, in his memory, Grandpa Bald had never respected anyone so much, even the emperor from above.
"Hmph, what about Ning Yuan Dan?" the person on the sword was not very friendly, and roared sternly.
"Qingji has seen the master, so he will naturally say. Yu Ji replied resignedly, the two of you, you and I said a word, and Shen Ming was ambiguous, and he didn't understand what it meant.
"See what you do, Lord's Chamber. After that, the man wanted to leave, but suddenly glanced at Shen Ming who was standing behind Yu Ji, he squinted his eyes slightly and closed his lips as if he was sniffing something, "hiss" The man couldn't help but widen his eyes, took a breath of cool air, and then broke through the air with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Grandpa Bald, why is that person so fierce to you?" Shen Ming looked at Yu Ji's haggard face, a little worried. You must know that although Shen Ming is about to enter the year of the crown ceremony, he has never been in contact with any practical matters since he was eight years old, and when he suddenly encounters such an arrogant character, he will inevitably feel cowardice in his heart.
"Don't be afraid, grandchildren, everything is with grandpa. ”
~~
Liuyun Mountain, looking at the side of the ridge into a peak, the height of the distance is different, the spring water that can be seen clearly flows slowly to the bottom of the mountain along the top of the mountain, the refreshing fragrance of flowers, the heartbreaking bird language, it is really beautiful.
A muscular man walks on a forest path.
"Ou Ou Ou. A large bird covered with black-brown fine lines, with white and brown spots on its head and back, fell on his shoulder with a cry of joy, and when he looked closely, the bird's face was pale grayish-brown, densely mixed with slender black lines, and its huge eyes were glowing red.
If someone with a discerning eye can surely find out that this bird is the ancient beast that helped the Blood Devourer to defeat the righteous people thousands of years ago, the owl.
"Mei'er. The man touched the tip of the owl's nose dotingly, and the owl also enjoyed it, as if he was intimate with the man.
The man walked into a cave with the owl and his fingers were missing, and suddenly, two red lights pierced from the depths of the cave like sharp swords without warning.
"Boom. "Words without the slightest emotion, creepy.
I saw that the man who was still leisurely hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The disciple is here." Even the owl on his shoulder was frightened by the fierce red light, and secretly lowered its head.
The two red lights vibrated faintly in the air like ghosts, getting closer and closer, and suddenly realized that the two red lights were actually a pair of eyes.
"Have you ever found the mark?" the man who was called the master hooked the chin of the owl, sneering as if he was ** a woman.
"Back to the master, the disciple is incompetent and can't pass through the seal"
"Hmph. Don't quibble, give you another three years, and the imprint and Shen Ming will be brought back. ”
After saying that, I saw that the man's lips floated slightly, and in an instant he floated back to the depths of the cave, and stood there with his hands behind his back. Suddenly, a strong smell of blood came to his face, and when he looked down, there was actually a well of blood under his feet, and the blood water was like boiling magma one by one, but it made people feel cold.
The man closed his eyes and took a deep breath of cold air rather intoxicated, "Shen Yitian, if you die, why do you have to struggle?"
(Did you vote today???)
