Chapter 57: The Search for the Cloud Flower
Sword Peak!
Up to the top of Jianfeng, there is a sheep intestine path, which is curved and spreading, but it is a little rugged. The entire sect of the Sword Sect is halfway up the mountain, Lan Yun said that because the sword qi in the middle of the mountain is moderate, it is the most suitable for the cultivation of people in their spiritual realm, and further up, ordinary people in the spiritual realm are a little unbearable.
Pu Xuan, Shen Tianlan, Lan Yun and the others looked at me, all waiting for my decision.
At noon every day, because the yang energy is the strongest, and the sword is rigid, the sword qi is the strongest, and the disciples of the Sword Sect usually meditate at this time, and in the middle of the night, the yin qi is the heaviest, and this sword qi will be discounted.
They are just waiting for me, whether to choose the time when the yang energy is at its peak and do things that ordinary people dare not do, or to walk at night in a decent way for the sake of safety.
To be honest, I would rather go up at noon, firstly, to show my strength, and secondly, to experience the sword qi of this sword peak.
However, after a short period of thought, I still prepared to go again in the evening, first find the stepping cloud flower in the middle of the night, complete the task, and then feel the sword qi of this sword peak, otherwise I will always feel that there is something to worry about, and I am afraid that I will not be able to feel at ease.
When Pu Xuan and the others heard that I was going to peak in the evening, they didn't have any opinions, but Na Luo Qifeng and some people around him showed a little disdain in their eyes.
Lan Yun tugged at the corner of my clothes, still a little worried in his eyes.
"Don't be reckless, come down when you find the cloud flower, the senior brothers have also gone up before, the sword qi around the time has basically dissipated, it will last for an hour or so, you can find it carefully, for me, don't get hurt, remember, if you find it, come down immediately, I will wait for you here." ”
After saying that, it seems that I am on the knife mountain, but it seems to be similar, the sword qi is like a knife, and it is very easy to cut the skin of clothes.
"Well, don't worry, don't you have faith in me?
I glanced up, but it was already past the time of Shen.
"Master, Uncle Shen, Lan'er, I'll go. Nodding, I pretended to look back at Lan Yun, who was extremely worried, and resolutely embarked on the road up the mountain.
Women are so strange, knowing that there is not much danger, but when it comes to the people they care about, this worry is magnified too much, but it is precisely because of this that they seem more and more cute.
The mountain road is rugged, but I can't stop the spirit pill to complete me, and in a few ups and downs, it has gone up dozens of zhang.
I didn't feel it after a few steps, but when I reached a certain height, I realized that this sword qi was so strong that it could cut through my clothes. Think about it, as I walked, I suddenly felt a buzzing sound in my ears, and a gap appeared inexplicably in my clothes and cheeks and arms from time to time, and people who didn't know would definitely feel a little weird and terrifying. The spiritual power operated, and after a layer of spiritual kai was placed around the body, there was no longer a situation of being injured by the sword qi.
On the sword peak, although the sword qi is everywhere, there is still lush vegetation, but the trees are mostly a kind of tree called sword pine, this tree is extremely hard, its leaves are like swords, there are feet long, and the width is a few fingers, take a closer look, the leaves still have blades, although they are not sharp, but they are not much worse than ordinary daggers.
There is also a kind of moss, which is spread on the mountain rocks, densely packed, like needles and thorns, and has an inch! I heard Lan Yun say that this is called needle moss, and in the territory of Di Kingdom, it is the same as stepping on cloud flowers, and it is a unique thing of the Sword Sect.
There are also some strange flowers and plants, I don't know much, Lan Yun didn't say it, I don't know, for a while, but I was a little embarrassed to be lonely and unheard, and secretly decided, after I go back, I will stay in the Baiyumen Library for two days, and go through the appearance of these spiritual herbs and elixirs in my mind, not to remember them completely, but to see them later, I won't even know the name.
The mountain road is surrounded by sword peaks like snakes, almost going around in circles, but this is also very good, and you can almost complete the inspection of the places you have walked without missing anything.
Soon it was dark, and I couldn't find a trace of the clouds, but I wasn't in a hurry, there was still about one night, and it was enough.
The more you walk, the more overgrown the road becomes, and it seems that there are fewer and fewer people coming to clean up, which also shows that within the Sword Sect, there are very few people who can reach this height. Roughly calculated, the height I am at is almost five hundred zhang away from the mountainside, and when I look down, it is faintly blocked by the sea of clouds, and I can't see it, and at this time, the Lingkai on my body has faint signs of not being able to support it.
Taking a deep breath, I dispersed Lingkai, laid several qi shields around me, and then walked forward quickly.
Finally, I went up to 100 zhang again, but the road was gone. I was happy in my heart, and no one walked the road after that, and no one picked the cloud flowers, which was extremely beneficial to me.
Just as his mind was ethereal, there was a slight sound of "fluffy" around his body, rags flew, and several feet of blood suddenly appeared on his body. I was so frightened that I hurriedly laid down several qi shields to examine my injuries. Fortunately, the scars are very shallow, under the operation of spiritual power, in the time of half a pillar of incense, all the scars will disappear, pity my clothes, only strips of rotten cloth are left hanging on my body, fortunately I am the only one here, otherwise I am not ashamed.
Smiled bitterly, just now it must have been the time when my heart was relaxed, and the control of the Qi Technique was relaxed, and only then was the sword qi broke through, hurting myself, if it was at noon on the top of the mountain, when the sword qi was in full swing, it was undeniable that at that time, I was afraid that there was only a pile of minced meat left.
I stepped forward again, but this time I was very careful, I made a deep cut on my arm, wrapped the stone given by Chengtian and embedded it in my body with spiritual power, and then after the wound recovered, I pulled out the Tibetan knife, and I walked forward step by step.
The stone is embedded in the body, puffing up the boss, it is indeed very painful, but if this stone is damaged by this sword qi and wastes a favor of the Immortal Emperor in vain, I am afraid that I will be distressed to death, but fortunately, on that day, the heart pill was placed in the white jade gate by me because there was no need to carry it with me, otherwise I am afraid that I will have to make a cut and put it in the body.
After walking forward for a long time, I still didn't find that I stepped on the cloud flower, at this time it was already a child, and the yin qi was the heaviest, although the height was getting higher and higher, but under the long and long of the other, there was no sword qi.
I don't know how high it is here, it should be nearly 3,000 zhang from the foot of the mountain, the moon and stars are scarce, the original standing is high, it seems to be really closer to the night sky, under the cool breeze, I quietly feel the silence that I have never experienced, not dead silence, but real tranquility!
The closer you are to the sky, the more you can feel the threshold of the heavenly realm, and the more you can touch this barrier?
Looking at the sky, I suddenly realized it for a long time, I slowly closed my eyes, and realized this quiet, everything in the night sky, but it seemed that it was still in front of my eyes, as if opening my eyes was the sky, and closing my eyes was also the sky gradually, in my ears, it should be said that in the soul, there seemed to be such a voice, full of bewitchment, telling me that the way of heaven is ruthless, give up everything, give up the attachment in my heart, and I will be able to control my destiny and obtain the way of eternal life that everyone expects!
Hatred? Why take revenge? Life and death have a reincarnation, and everything has its own destiny, just like Grandpa Sun said at the beginning, everything is fate! Life, death, and love are so small under this vast night sky that I don't seem to feel its existence anymore! Is it because I have given up the hatred in my heart? Or will even all my emotions be diluted under this tranquility?
I don't want to give up!
I opened my eyes suddenly, how could I give up! The tragic death of my parents, the untimely death of my younger brother, and the dissipation of more than 100 lives in the same village, do we mean that I can give up if I can give up? The murderer is still at large, and the accomplice is still happy, can I be worthy of my own heart?
I can't!
God, you want me to give up hatred, give up family affection, and believe in your bullshit fate, you can't do it!
I looked up to the sky and let out a silent roar, if anyone could hear it, it would feel the sadness in my heart and exhale deeply, I slowly calmed my mood, a little sad, father, mother, and my unborn brother, you can rest assured, I will kill Qiuxi, and the entire firmament faction will accompany you to the funeral!
Now I don't know that the moment I chose to open my eyes, I gave up an opportunity, and the legendary epiphany was just dispelled by my hatred. When I knew, I didn't regret it, and if I did it again, I would still choose to open my eyes, listen to my heart's choice, and embark on the path of fighting fate.
It seems that I am a little disappointed in my choice, there are dark clouds floating in the sky, and the originally bright heaven and earth are so dark and sunny, but this black night can't stop my eyes, let alone my heart!
There is no light in the night, but although it is lightless, it is only the light is extremely dim, ordinary people can't see it, and it can't stop the eyes of our monks' spiritual power.
I was searching, but before I knew it, an hour had passed, and that brief epiphany, because of my abandonment, seemed to be only a few breaths.
After a glance, I turned my head abruptly, and my gaze was fixed on the flowers that shimmered in the night.
Step on the cloud flower, no more than two feet high, the palm leaves are like a sieve, on it is a snow-white thumb-sized flower, with buds to be released. I took a closer look, only to see its petals like silk, stamens like stars, take a deep breath, no fragrance, anti-feeling bursts of cold air, nasal cavity faintly tingling.
This is exactly the same as the Cloud Stepping Flower described by Lan Yun, except that there is no sword qi now, it cannot absorb it, so it has not yet bloomed.
Waiting quietly, a few hours passed, and a dawn appeared on the horizon, as if the hope that pierced the night, shining on this bouquet of flowers, and the flowers gradually bloomed, like the smile of a lover, emitting such a beautiful light!
The sword aura of the whole mountain suddenly became violent, although it was not as high as noon, but at this moment, it seemed to be extremely excited to welcome the coming of the rising sun, cheering, jumping!
When I was sighing at the wonder of this sword peak, my heart moved, and a bold conjecture suddenly appeared!
This sword peak is a sword!
I don't know which great supernatural power turned this sword into such a huge one, absorbing the yang energy of heaven and earth here, this trembling sword qi is clearly the spirit of its sword vibrating!
The Sword Sect, whose strength is mediocre, why has it risen in just a few decades and has been able to survive to this day? Behind it, who is intimidating the Quartet?
