Chapter 499: Mountain Keeper
Crossing a mountain stream stone bridge, a cliff suddenly appeared in front of it, almost upright, and the stone steps went up the cliff, leading to the junction between the cliff top and the sky, which looked like there were thousands of stone steps. What a heavenly path!
Ding Cheng looked at a rock beside him, and there were three big red characters engraved on the rock, "Thousand Feet Building".
At this time, a few rain stars suddenly fell from the sky and hit Ding Cheng's face. Sure enough, it rained!
Ding Cheng's body leaned forward, protected Rong'er in his arms, and then took a breath and climbed the stone steps of the "Thousand Feet Building".
The stone steps of this "thousand-foot building" are completely different from the stone steps elsewhere, and its biggest feature is that it is narrow, only half the width of the sole of the foot, which can only accommodate the forefoot to touch the ground, but the heel is completely empty, unless it is sideways, the foot can be firmly stepped on. Fortunately, there are two iron chains on both sides of the stone steps that can be handrailed, otherwise ordinary people would not dare to climb up.
But Rao is like this, it is still thrilling, not careless at all, and if you are not careful, you will fall down the mountain and become crushed.
Ding Cheng had just climbed more than a hundred steps, but suddenly stopped. Because all of a sudden, he sensed something was wrong. This feeling came from above him.
He looked up and saw a man standing in the middle of the trail, about two hundred paces away from him. Due to the viewing angle, he couldn't see the man's face clearly. I could only faintly see that this person was slender, dressed in a gray cloth robe, and holding a long sword in his hand.
Moreover, this is a very dangerous "thousand-foot building", and he thinks that he is standing on the stone steps above, obviously trying to block Ding Cheng's way.
Ding Cheng thought to himself that this person's appearance here must have something to do with the Tianlongzi seniors, so he politely said loudly: "This gentleman, I want to ask to see Tianlongzi, Xuanyuanzi and Taibaizi seniors on important matters in the next time. I also hope that Mr. will make it convenient and guide the maze. ”
I only heard the man say: "Shizun and the two Immortal Venerables have never seen outsiders, young man, you better go back." ”
Ding Cheng was anxious in his heart, and secretly shouted: "Come here again!" It seems that if you want to see the three old immortals, you will have to go through a lot of trouble." ”
Ding Cheng continued to walk forward, and said loudly: "This girl is seriously injured, her life is hanging by a thread, I hope that the Venerable Master can save her life, and I hope that Mr. will be successful, I am grateful!"
The man said in a loud voice, "Since this girl is seriously injured, Your Excellency should take her to the doctor, why did you run up the mountain to find my master instead? ”
Ding Cheng said as he walked up: "This girl is very seriously injured, it is difficult for ordinary famous doctors to save her life, only a land immortal like Venerable Master has such ability." Since the Venerable Master is a cultivator, and the cultivator should have the heart of a Bodhisattva who helps the world and saves people, he dares to go up the mountain to see the Venerable Teacher. ”
As he spoke, Ding Cheng was already less than ten stone steps away from that person.
I only heard the man say: "I have studied medicine for a few days, and since this girl is seriously injured, I will not let me take a look at it." As he spoke, he saw that the figure seemed to move slightly, and he had already come to Ding Cheng's face and looked at Rong'er in Ding Cheng's arms. Rong'er's face was calm at this time, and she didn't see any anger. He stretched out his right hand again to check Rong'er's pulse.
Ding Cheng only saw this person's face clearly at this time. I saw that he was also emaciated, with a long jade face, and at first glance, he had long eyebrows and starry eyes, and he had a chic atmosphere. But if you look closely, you can see the wrinkles between his eyebrows. It can be seen that this person must be over sixty years old, but he still looks so young, it seems that the Dao Law must be extraordinary.
Ding Cheng thought to himself that since this person was a disciple of Tianlongzi and like a man of the Tao, he did not stop him.
The man frowned and said to Ding Cheng: "This girl has long been out of pulse, I'm afraid even if she takes Taishang Laojun's elixir to eat, it will be useless." You'd better take her down the mountain quickly. ”
After the man finished speaking, he flashed again and came to the position where he had been standing.
Ding Cheng was shocked, thinking that Rong'er was really out of gas, he quickly reached out and touched Rong'er's neck, and found that there was an extremely faint beat, and although Rong'er's hands were cold, her heart was still hot, indicating that Rong'er still had a glimmer of life.
Ding Chengjue would not give up, he vowed to meet Tianlongzi and the other three seniors and beg them to heal Rong'er.
He took off his robe, tied Rong'er in his arms with his sleeves, and then pulled the placket to cover Rong'er's body as much as possible, although his clothes were almost soaked by the rain. Then he raised his head and said firmly: "No matter what, the juniors must see the three old-timers today, and I hope Mr. will give way." ”
But the man stood motionless, as if he hadn't heard Ding Cheng's words.
The road on Huashan is already narrow, and the thousand-foot mountain road is even narrower. That person stood up the stone steps like this, where could he allow others to go up?
But at this moment, Ding Cheng couldn't care about these anymore. He hugged Rong'er in his arms and walked straight forward. When he was about to get in front of the man, Ding Cheng suddenly flew out to the right and pounced on the bare cliff on the right, intending to borrow strength from a slap rock one zhang away on the right, and then flew up and stepped on the steps behind the man.
He looked at it before he threw himself out, and estimated that with his own skills, he should be able to do it.
That Dao man didn't expect Ding Cheng to make such a risky move. stabbed the long sword in his hand with the scabbard and stopped Ding Cheng on the right side.
Ding Cheng didn't expect that this person would be so fast with his sword. If he continued to pounce forward, he would have no place to borrow, and he would fall under a cliff of thousands of feet.
At the critical moment, Ding Cheng stretched out his hand to look at the man's long sword and pressed it lightly, and his body leaped upward, wanting to leap over the head of the man.
The man's wrist flicked, and the long sword was drawn and sent, pointing at Ding Cheng's chest. Seeing that the acupoint on Ding Cheng's chest was about to be hit, he pointed out the tip of the man's sword with a finger sword.
Although he was not hit in the chest, in this way, Ding Cheng failed to take a step forward and fell back to the same place.
Ding Cheng didn't stop after landing, and threw himself out to the left.
When the man saw Ding Cheng flying out to the left, he stabbed the long sword in his hand to the left.
At this time, Ding Cheng had already seen that this Taoist's swordsmanship was smooth and smooth in one go. And the swordsmanship is sharp, and the speed of the sword is as fast as lightning. His swordsmanship is very similar to the peaks on this Hua Mountain, the strange peaks fall out, and at the same time, they are natural and smooth, without being abrupt.
