Chapter Thirty-Eight: The True Face of the City
Is this also the rule? I looked at all this suspiciously, it seems that the location of this big city is not completely open to cultivators, and it is estimated that powerful cultivators will not be able to break in.
And this secret path, even if there is a more powerful formation guard, they still have to go forward blindfolded, which shows that they don't want this path to be exposed.
It seems that this big city is really not a place where cultivators can come and go whenever they want, maybe it is because cultivators yearn for it so much, although until now, I don't know what the other attractions of it are besides being able to conduct various transactions.
While I was thinking about all this nonsense, the first blindfolded man had the long rope tied around his waist, and the end of the long rope was tied around the waist of the person who was leading it.
This is something that cannot be resisted, and if you want to move forward here, you can only accept this rule, and one by one people stepped forward, took black strips of cloth and tied them to their eyes, and I did so
Finally, we were tied with ropes around our waists, and then the ushers finally began to lead the way in front, and it was dark in front of us, and we could only judge the direction by the pull of the rope around our waists.
It doesn't feel like a real blind person, does it? I thought to myself, and suddenly remembered a method that Jiang Yi had inadvertently told me about training spiritual consciousness before the night he shot me.
Thinking like this, I did this at first, and as with that time, I was a little uncomfortable, but later, I was completely used to this method, and what was even more amazing was that I could roughly feel the route I had taken, and the direction of a winding path in my mind was so clear.
Is this a leak? I suddenly wondered if I was inadvertently getting into trouble again? And the various sensations coming from the rope around my waist also clearly told me that except for me, everyone was not walking so smoothly, staggering, and even falling was a normal thing.
I couldn't help but feel a little nervous thinking about it, but the person who didn't do anything at all, didn't say anything, and I couldn't help but continue this practice.
I don't know how long it took, but when my mind and body were about to reach a limit, the front finally stopped, and then a cold voice came: "You can untie the black cloth in front of you." "I just knew that we should have crossed the secret path.
I almost couldn't wait to sit on the ground, and then I untied the black cloth in front of me, and found that we were still on a narrow path, lined with two towering snow-capped mountains, but judging by the light snow from where we were, we were already above the snow line.
But it's unusually quiet here, and it doesn't look like a big city.
At this time, Su Lao next to me saw my stunned doubts, and whispered in my ear with a slight panting: "This has not yet reached the big market, I have been here a few times, you see, after that corner, you will see magical." ”
His expression was mysterious, and full of a certain yearning, which made me wonder, how many times have I been here like this? If I told him that I had just walked with the method of practicing spiritual sense, and that I had inadvertently memorized the route of this secret path, what would he have done?
But I'm not a fool, I won't say anything like this, because I know that once I say it, there will be more people in this world looking for me! I'm really going to live a peaceful life forever.
At this time, the rare leader took the initiative to help everyone untie the rope around their waists, and when he walked in front of me, he suddenly stared at me, stopped what he was doing, and was silent and kept staring at me.
I was a little hairy in my heart, and this action also attracted the curiosity of the people around me, and the indifferent usher suddenly spoke: "You are far more stable than others, but you also seem more tired." ”
Was it discovered? Of course I am more tired than others, because I am not only walking, but also honing my mental strength, which is a double burden!
However, in the face of his words, if I didn't say anything, I seemed very weak-hearted, and I could only ask, "Is there anything wrong with this?" ”
The usher was no longer staring at me at this moment, but untied the rope around my waist and said, "There is no problem, we can't think of any problems that can bother us at all." ”
This sentence is inexplicable, but when I touch it carefully, I feel frightened, which clearly means that we are not afraid of anyone making trouble and looking for trouble, because our strength is there.
It seems that I inadvertently made this guy have a bad impression of me, and I can't help but smile bitterly when I think about it, but it's not all for nothing, right? At least I know that the aborigines of these big cities turned out to be in the snow-capped mountains.
"Let's go, Xiao Chu, what are you doing here? The big market is coming, huh? "In the back, Su Lao began to urge me, and when I was stunned, the indifferent usher had already untied the rope around everyone's waist and walked straight forward.
And Xiao Chu, Chu Ming is a pseudonym I gave to other people, I take it casually, I'm not the kind of person who has read too many martial arts novels, and taking a fake name also contains the original name, I think it's easy to expose yourself.
At the urging of Su Lao, I answered casually, and walked towards the end of the path with Su Lao and the big monk, Su Lao told me before, as long as I passed that corner, I would see the big market and see a magic.
At the moment, I have something on my mind, and I don't care much about this, and I have experienced ups and downs in my life, but I have seen a lot of magical scenery, whether it is Yueyan Miao Village, Heiyan Miao Village, the real ghost market can be called a wonder, I don't think the big city will shock me how much.
But things are often unexpected, and after I walked around the corner of that path without expecting anything, I really saw a miracle, no, a wonder, or a hidden wonderland?
At this moment, we are in the position where the two snow-capped mountains are connected, which is also the mountainside of the two snow-capped mountains, and there is no way forward in front of us, but it does not prevent us from seeing the scenery in front of us.
In the foreground, there is a snow-capped mountain hugging to form an open space, simply put, like a crater on the moon, with a hollow in the middle.
In the middle of the clearing, there is a large grassland unique to X Province, and there is such a grassland outside the snow-capped mountains, but because of the season, the grass has withered and yellowed, and some places are even covered with thin snow.
In addition, in the grassland, there is a quiet lake quietly embedded in the grassland, clear like a girl's eyes, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, so beautiful that it is suffocating.
That's not all, in addition to these beautiful scenery, the entire grassland hidden in it is also full of life, there are a lot of wildflowers blooming on the grassland, there are a lot of grassland animals running, and even the X antelope has a large group here.
If the typical grassland beauty hidden in it is not enough to shock people, then the tallest snow-capped mountain facing the grassland is enough to make people shocked.
Because the shock is not the snow-capped mountain itself, but the position of the snow-capped mountain from the mountainside to the bottom of the mountain, a huge cave has been artificially dug out, and the lights in the cave are always bright, and I can vaguely see through the lights that there are long stairs in the cave, and on the top of the stairs, there are many exquisite buildings, and huge stone carvings
It's not an exaggeration to describe all this as a fairyland, right? My eyes widened, and I thought I really wouldn't be shocked, but at this point, I couldn't think of any other adjectives than shock.
At that moment, I even had the urge to think, isn't this the retreat I've been longing for? Do I want to live in seclusion here and cultivate?
But the reality was cruel, and I couldn't escape everything at all, and at this moment, the usher who had been standing at the front, who had been silent, suddenly turned to look at me, with a strange smile on his face, and said to me: "Welcome to the city." ”
Was it said to me? Or to the whole people? I always felt a little weird in my heart, but no one else cared about his words, and they were completely immersed in the beauty.
And when I wanted to explore again, the usher had already turned away from looking at me, and was actually walking downward, which was a cliff with no way?
I was shocked, and when I stepped forward, I realized that there was a rope ladder hanging from this cliff!
"Let's go, Xiao Chu, when you really enter the big city, you will feel more and feel why we yearn for this big city so much." Su Lao suddenly said behind me, and then he walked in front of me, and slowly grabbed the rope ladder and climbed down.
