Chapter 154: The Pillar of Babel (Part II)
Heiwa nodded honestly, and said solemnly: "Li Xianren, can you see the entrance of the passage on the other side?" That passage is the last level to the spiritual mountain, and if we go there now, we will soon be able to return to the spiritual mountain. But actually, we have to jump over these pillars, and it's not that hard, it's the same as when we walk on flat ground! ”
Hearing Heiwa's comfort, I immediately exclaimed bitterly: "This, where is this bullshit flat ground?" This is a bottomless abyss, plus a few broken stone pillars that can be broken, some stone pillars can still get down, but some stone pillars can't get down at all! And it is very likely to fall into it, and fall into the abyss, this is not the worst, the worst, if we don't get it, we will return to the Nine Shadows Realm! ”
"Uh...... Li Xianren, I never thought that you ...... Are you afraid of heights? ”
Heiwa hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help laughing, and then said: "But before, we went down from that cliff to the realm of the Nine Shadows, and we didn't see any signs of fear of heights in Immortal Li, how can we ...... now?" Could it be that Li Xianren was holding on hard before? Hearing Heiwa's words, I immediately drooped my head, this guy is so real, he doesn't save me any face, I really don't want to say anything more to him.
But in the end, I still glared at Heiwa angrily and said, "Are you bored or not?" I, how could I be afraid of heights? I'm not even afraid of those demons, demon flowers, thorn Gu, so much so that the forbidden water demon python we met on the sky-looking ladder just now, what am I afraid of? I'm not afraid of such a powerful monster, how can I be afraid of a high ...... Gao ......" said, and as my feet slowly moved to the edge of the abyss, my legs immediately trembled uncontrollably.
Heiwa's eyes stared at my legs without blinking, as if it was useless for me to hide it. I suddenly took a step back and shouted, "My legs are shaking, that doesn't mean I'm afraid of heights, maybe it's me, maybe I'm too tired!" Just let me rest for a while! After speaking, I sat on the ground under the stunned gaze of the black baby, and my heart was actually already soft.
Maybe the reason just now can only fool the simple and honest black baby, and these simple logics don't have anything to do with it at all.
Not being afraid of those monsters, and being afraid of heights, are completely different things. Some people are not afraid of tigers by nature, but they will make a fuss when they see cockroaches, and some people are not even afraid of snakes, but when they see earthworms, they will get goosebumps all over their bodies. This natural thing, I can't say it clearly, no matter how powerful the monster is, when I really do it against it, I can get out of it, but ...... But in the face of this abyss, there are so many slender stone pillars, and I can't tell why I'm afraid in my heart.
Heiwa also stopped talking, hearing that I was tired before and wanted to rest at the moment, he honestly stayed aside and waited for me quietly. I looked at the stone pillars in front of me, and counted them back and forth, and there were twelve of them, and the gap between each one was either nearly a foot long, or about five or six feet, and the thickness varied, but I didn't know how strong it was. If you measure it carefully...... Well, it should be measured well and make sure that it is okay to pass.
I don't know how long it took like this, but in the end, Heiwa finally couldn't hold her breath and came to me and said, "Li Xianren, you just sit here for another year, we still have to pass, so you don't have to wait any longer, let's go over as soon as possible and rush back to Lingxiu Mountain as soon as possible, right?" ”
"I ...... I don't plan to sit for a year! ”
I glared at Heiwa and muttered, "I'm just meditating, thinking about whether you understand?" Well, anyway, you are a spiritual cultivator, and you don't know what thinking is, I am here to comprehend the Great Dao, and you said it before, I have a lot of doubts in my heart, a lot of puzzles. Now I'm going to think through all those doubts and puzzles, maybe, maybe it will take a little time, just wait a little longer! ”
It is said that it is the avenue of enlightenment, but in fact, it is a fart! As soon as I saw that I was about to jump over those slender stone pillars, and there was an abyss beneath me, my legs couldn't stop drifting. My mind was in a mess at the moment, and I couldn't think of anything, let alone think about anything. Obviously, Heiwa no longer seemed to believe my nonsense, he waited helplessly again, and after a while, he sighed helplessly: "Li Xianren, no matter what you are thinking, but we have no other way to choose, now we only have one way, that is, those stone pillars in front." Unless you want to go back to the Nine Shadows and find another way out. But we can't go back to the back of the waterfall, blocked by the waterfall, we can't reach the ladder behind the waterfall, so if we choose to retreat, it will be a dead end! ”
"I know, I know, I'll give me a little more time to overcome my fears...... Ahh It makes me think about the doubts in my heart, how can I be afraid? How can you be afraid of heights? It's a joke, hehe! ”
With that, I laughed twice, and then sat down honestly on the ground again.
Immediately, Heiwa couldn't help it, jumped up to me, and said solemnly: "Immortal Li, although we can't calculate the time in the Nine Shades Realm, but we have now left the Nine Shades Realm, and there is time to calculate this." If my calculation is correct, we have entered and exited the Nine Shadows Realm, and it has been nearly two days now. In other words, the birthday banquet on the Ninth Old Lady's side has begun, and you also want to leave the spiritual cultivation mountain as soon as possible, saying that there is something important, do you have to put these aside and sit here alone to think and meditate? ”
"Huh?"
I stumbled to my feet, and after hearing Heiwa's calculations, I couldn't be calm anymore, I didn't expect that two days had passed since I went in and out of the Nine Shadows Realm. Well, I'm still meditating on a fart! What the master told me, not only did I not do it now, but trapped myself in the spiritual cultivation mountain, and went to the realm of the Nine Shadows in the middle, trying to prevent Gu Tan from getting the task of "Shangqing Edict", I haven't even touched a shadow now, as for whether Gu Tan got the "Shangqing Edict" or not, I don't know now, in case Gu Tan has already succeeded, then wouldn't I just sit here and waste time?
No way! I have to get the devotional card right away and leave the devotional mountain! Then observe Gu Tan's movements, as well as the master of Martingale Lingzhi, Xuan Demon Lao Dao, by the way, I don't know if Martingale Lingzhi is dead or alive now, if I don't have him by his side to help him, then he naturally won't help me stop Gu Tan. Of course, according to the normal logical analysis, he intends to get the mantle inheritance of the Xuan Demon Old Dao, which will naturally include the "Shangqing Edict" in the hands of the Xuan Demon Lao Dao, so he must get it before Gu Tan, but what about after?
With the scheming of Martingale Lingzhi, what he gets will become a bargaining chip for him to get more benefits, if Gu Tan can provide him with what he wants, as for the "Shangqing Edict", it is not impossible for him to let Gu Tan get a manuscript. And sending out a manuscript is not a big deal for Martingale Lingzhi, but what the master means is that the "Shangqing Edict", whether it is a solitary copy or a manuscript, cannot be touched by Gu Tan, so in the end, I will not only have to stop Gu Tan, but it is very likely that I will also stop that Martingale Order.
Fortunately, the current goal of Martingale Lingzhi is only the inheritance of the mantle of the Xuan Demon Old Dao, and the most important thing is not the "Shangqing Edict", so I still have a certain amount of cooperation space with him. But no matter what, I have to leave the mountain as soon as possible now! And the path out of the spiritual mountain, is the stone pillars in front, turn around, but I just want to stretch out my foot and step on the first stone pillar, only to feel my legs and stomach immediately tremble violently!
Li Ergou, Li Ergou, can you still have some interest? You're not afraid of demons, so why are you afraid of heights? My mind was racing, inexplicably recalling the experiences I had in the past, why could I calmly get through the difficulties at those times? Well...... I understand that in those days, I barely had a chance to think, and my brain rushed up as soon as it was hot, so I didn't care about what fear of heights or not.
But after going through so much, gradually, I have more and more things in my head, and after overcoming the ** disease, new problems will appear, and now my fear of heights has become a stain on my life. It's just that I don't know how to overcome this problem yet...... After thinking about it, I still retreated and said to Heiwa: "If you can pass, maybe I can go too!" ”
Heiwa opened her mouth in a daze, then smiled and said, "Okay, Li Xianren, I'll guide you in front, but you have to hurry up and keep up, once I pass, you will be left alone here, you can no longer sit on the ground and meditate!" Hearing Heiwa's words, I immediately waved my hand, urging Heiwa to hurry over, stop rambling, time waits for no one.
However, just as Heiwa was about to jump onto the stone pillar, inexplicably, we were all stunned, this, in this cave, I don't know when, from the abyss below, layers of pale white mist floated up...... Soon, those pale white mist surrounded those stone pillars, setting off those stone pillars like real pillars of heaven, and below, it was more like the fairy Nine Heavens Immortal Palace!
It's just that these pale white mist are still rising little by little, and it seems that all those stone pillars are about to be buried in them, if that is the case, we will not see where the stone pillars are, and we may fall into the abyss. Thinking of this, I hurriedly urged Heiwa: "Heiwa! Come on! Once these strange mist completely envelop the stone pillars, then we will never be able to get by! ”
