Chapter 42: Coincidental
Jiang Mingcai stepped into this seven-story Qianxun Tower and was surrounded by a dark and depressed atmosphere, there is no light and no fire in the Qianxun Tower, that is, there is nothing that can be burned and illuminated, which makes Jiang Ming can't help but be a little ridiculous, just because Penglai should be regarded as a little higher status than the Jiang family, thinking that his Jiang family from the bottom of Luoxia Mountain to the top of the stairs is full of everlasting lights, and now the dignified Gongsun family is so small that they don't even prepare some lights, aren't they afraid that the descendants of the Gongsun family will stumble and stumble when they enter the tower?
After getting a little familiar with this oppressive darkness, Jiang Ming carefully looked at this Qianxun Pagoda built of black striped stones, the first floor was three feet high, and he stepped into a palace as big as a palace before entering the first floor, but there was no golden splendor.
Jiang Ming could only rely on his intuition to silently pinch his steps, one step at a time, and then according to the size around the tower, he wanted to directly distinguish the location of the staircase on the second floor, and the Qianxun Tower didn't even have a window, but it was bumped and bumped many times.
Jiang Ming knew that those were probably the stone tablets that Gongsun Zhi said depicted with rare documents, but it was a pity that there was no fire, otherwise he would definitely light them to see what was on these stone tablets, and he even suspected that the three ancestors of the Gongsun family deliberately made him hit a wall like this.
There is no light in the first floor, even if all martial arts masters can see a little bit of something clearly even in the dark night, Jiang Ming gradually knows how to avoid these stone tablets in the dark after hurting his knee twice, he wants to go directly to the top floor to see what the mystery is, and he found the entrance to the second layer as he wished, but found that the second floor has been blocked by a stone gate weighing at least a thousand catties, and he can't enter at all.
Jiang Ming's sword heart may have the means to destroy this stone gate before it is destroyed, but now it can only be sighed.
Jiang Ming sat decadently at the entrance of the second floor, his right hand was placed on a cold stone tablet at will, and his hand was cold, as if he could feel the handwriting on the stone tablet that was still intact after many years.
Jiang Ming spent half an hour familiarizing himself with these ancient words, and then spent half an hour organizing these words into documents one by one in his mind.
In the end, all that came out was a story that was mutilated and incomplete.
The inscription on the stele reads.
Heaven and earth are not benevolent, all things are dogs, people are humane, there is a way of heaven, there is a fairy way, each way can return to the six ways, the world is peaceful, and today the road is impermanent, the fairy road is not good, and the saints of the world have risen up to resist the way of heaven.
The inscription came to an abrupt end, and the signature was just a sage.
Jiang Ming shook his head at the self-deprecation of this, what does it matter to me that heaven and earth are unkind? I just know that the rivers and lakes are unkind to me.
Jiang Ming, who didn't know how to go up to the second layer of the tower, could only touch these pieces of cold stone tablets one by one in his spare time, and feel the inscriptions one by one, so that after seven or eight pieces, he could touch an inscription like a sword spectrum.
In terms of sword spectrum, Jiang Ming thinks that the Jiang family's Canglang sword is already a unique sword in the world, and he has not practiced a single sword to the fullest, even if he learns a few more? Martial arts are not much, but fine, but even so Jiang Ming still silently wrote down this sword spectrum, just because the last sword of the Canglang Sword is a sword made by converging the world's swords, if you can find the top group of people in the world's swordsmanship, each person takes out a sword to gather, presumably the means can go straight to the land immortals, Jiang Ming does not know the origin of these inscriptions, but it is expected that the martial arts that can exist in the Qianxun Tower must not be ordinary.
Jiang Ming spent a few hours writing down the seven or eight out of ten sword scores he had read, and never waited until the stone door into the second layer of the tower opened, just when he felt that the Gongsun family would not be so kind, the second layer of the stone door suddenly made a strange sound, and then rumbled open a crack, and he followed this seam to the second layer of the Qianxun Tower, the second layer repeated the previous actions as always, silently wrote down, and silently entered the third layer, the only difference is that he found more and more that the martial arts cheats he touched were more profound and more mysterious than the previous layer, which made Jiang Ming a little hesitant, and people's memory was always limited, where can I remember so many obscure things in a short time? Just thinking about it and couldn't bear to let go of this great opportunity, Jiang Ming gritted his teeth, as if he had made up some major determination, took off the hairpin on the top of his head, took off his clothes, pierced his fingers, used blood as ink, and wrote countless small words on the white and flawless clothes, after the clothes were written, he took off his pants, shoes and socks, and after the pants, shoes and socks were written, he gritted his teeth and endured the pain of hairpins and skin piercing, and wrote down the amazing martial arts on his body in exchange for bruises, Qianxun Pagoda is seven floors high, and each upper layer is getting smaller and smaller, so that Jiang Ming actually wrote down almost everything about the sword, but when it came to the sixth layer, the tower door of the seventh layer could no longer be opened。
Jiang Ming now probably knows why Penglai has walked since it was discovered, and the highest one he has walked through is only the Gongsun Jing, who is known as the second in the world after the Spring and Autumn Period, Gongsun Jing stepped on the fifth layer, not because he could only step on the fifth layer, but because his Gongsun Jing practiced the martial arts in the Qianxun Pagoda to the fifth layer, Gongsun Zhi and his ilk are not as good as Gongsun Jing, and when they entered the first layer, they saw so many treasures and were overwhelmed, where did they still have the heart to continue walking?
Maybe the vast majority of people will be like this, they only care about the present, so in fact, they don't go far, he Jiang Ming is different, Jiang Ming is just a waste now, and he doesn't care about any amazing martial arts, because even if he gets it, it may not be useful, before the sword heart is not reshaped, even if it is the land immortal himself to guide it, it may not be able to do it, this is like a broken stool, tinkering can still be the way it used to be, if a stool in the heart is broken, how can it be repaired?
Jiang Ming already felt the feeling of fainting due to excessive blood loss.
If you think about the upper floor, you can only know what is left on that floor if you are on the previous floor.
Jiang Ming already roughly knew where this Qianxun Pagoda came from back then, but now he was dizzy, and he finally couldn't help fainting.
To his surprise, before fainting, he seemed to hear a faint roar from the seventh floor of the tower, whether it was a man or a beast.
I must have misheard.
Jiang Ming closed his eyes in a bloody suit that had dried up.
......
"You're going to find it incredible. ”
The old man who was injured by the sword of the old sword god said.
"It's clearly the treasure of Penglai Town, how can it suddenly become a demon tower, right? Don't say it's you, I'm afraid we won't believe it even if we hear it, but it's true, when my grandson's family came to Penglai, I found Qianxun Tower, at that time Penglai indigenous people were far from being so civilized now, and now Penglai can become today, my grandson's family is indispensable. It's just that now no one in my grandson's family knows that when we came to Penglai to go to Feilai Peak, Penglai aborigines refused, because there is a Qianxun Tower on Feilai Peak, and Qianxun Tower is not a holy place, but a ghostly place, even now it can be seen from this pitch-black tower body, but I want to say that when we came to Penglai, the tower body is not black, but dark red, there have been people who are proficient in medical science to personally identify this dark red, not color, but human blood dyed, Penglai aborigines said that there are ghosts here to make trouble in the world, every month when the black wind is high, the ghost cries wolf howls on the Qianxun Tower, at first my Gongsun family did not care, only when it is some speculation of the aborigines who are far away from human civilization, and then my grandson's family kissed the tower of Qianxun only to know that the ghost and god are not groundless, the tower is seven floors high, before an ancestor did not believe, he had to go up to the tower to see, the first six floors were safe and sound, but when he arrived at the sixth floor, he found that there seemed to be a living person in the seventh layer, the ancestor did not believe in evil, and shook the seventh layer of the tower door with force, but saw that the tower door did not move at all, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly saw that the tower door was loosened, and a cloud of black gas wrapped his body, and soon after he was pulled into the seventh layer, and never came back, my grandson's family was going to leave Feilai PeakHowever, the treasures in the Qianxun Tower are really rare in the world, so they took root, and let the descendants always guard the seventh layer of the Qianxun Tower, every year they need to instill their own strength into the tower body so that the seventh layer of the stone door can never be opened, at first it was to convey power every year, but then a year is far from enough, so from a year to once a quarter, and now it has become a daily need to transmit a large number of true elements to the tower body in order to maintain the seven-layer peace, I have been guarding here for nearly a hundred years, if it is not for the existence of this Bodhi to continue to live, will never live to this day, and now the son wants us to die has to weigh the consequences of our three old men after death, Although I don't see anything on the seventh layer, but I don't think about it, we people can stop it, so please think twice. ”
"What the three seniors said may be true, or maybe it is false, but almost all of them are the words of the three seniors, please forgive me for believing it. ”
Sima Yun didn't believe in such a mysterious and terrifying thing, in fact, it was not just him Sima Yun, even the Gongsun family himself was at a loss.
This seems to be something that the three old men under the Bodhi tree had long expected, they said.
"It's understandable that Childe doesn't believe it, I should have asked Childe to go up and take a look, but now my three old men have already reached the time when the oil is exhausted, and they can no longer maintain the peace of Qianxun Tower, I'm afraid that it won't be long before those things will escape, but it's a pity that my Penglai luck has long been out of Penglai, otherwise there will be no successor to the dignified Gongsun family, and now Qianxun Tower, destined to be unable to save, those things, will soon escape, before that, if Childe doesn't want to save your friends, I'm afraid it will inevitably end up with a similar fate with the ancestor of my Gongsun family, whether it's true or false, you will know when you go upIt's just that we have to remind a few people that it's easy to get in alive, but it's not so simple to get out alive. ”
"Isn't that right? So whether you have the courage or not, I'm afraid a few people really have to weigh it carefully. ”
Gongsun Jing's eldest brother, Gongsun Long, reappeared, and as soon as he appeared, he couldn't hide the sarcasm in his words.
Sima Yun laughed.
"Coincidentally, my dog said the same. ”
