Snake and Simpson had known each other since childhood. Although their relationship was tense for a time due to some competition, in the final analysis they were childhood playmates.
Just now Snake stopped Yeze, partly because he didn't want Yeze to cause trouble, and also because he wanted to save some face for his old friend. If you fight with others, the punishment you receive will not be very serious, but if you lose, the impact on Simpson will be
It's very big. Snake is very aware of Yeze's abnormal strength.
Snake was thinking about Simpson, but it was a pity that Simpson not only did not appreciate it, but also repeatedly touched Snake's negative scales. The clay man is still very angry, let alone Snake.
Facing Yeze's interrogation, Snake hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't be too harsh."
"Understood." Ye Ze bared his teeth.
Until the end, Snake was still thinking about Simpson. But when Simpson heard this, it didn't sound right to him.
"Arrogant!" Simpson said angrily, striding forward: "I will teach you a lesson today! After that, I will apologize to the First Saint."
"You should lie down first and then talk." Ye Ze's figure swayed and disappeared from the spot, and a circle of dust rose up where he stood.
Simpson's eyes blurred, and then he found a face in front of him.
Simpson was startled and his pupils suddenly dilated.
Without waiting for Simpson's next reaction, against the background of Ye Ze's evil smile, a fist quickly magnified in front of Simpson's eyes.
Yeze's speed prevented Simpson from even raising the awareness to dodge and block. He just watched and waited, as Yeze's fist approached the bridge of his nose.
Suddenly, there was only a sound in the air, and a hand appeared out of thin air, lying in front of Simpson's face.
"Bang——"
Yeze's fist hit the palm hard.
The airwaves aroused made Simpson's face painful. Sweat droplets the size of soybeans gushed out from his forehead.
If this punch hit, Simpson even suspected that his nose would be punched into the brain.
Ye Ze frowned and flew back.
Next to Simpson, I saw an old man in white robes. It was the dark gold-level strongman that Yeze had seen on the airship before, John.
John slowly put his hand down, moved his palm, and said with a smile: "What a lot of strength."
Yeze removed his defensive posture, put his hands behind his back, and smiled as if nothing happened: "Mr. John."
"The First Saint has been waiting for a long time and specifically asked me to pick you up." John said, "Please."
Yeze nodded: "Can you please Mr. John to lead the way?"
Both men walked past Simpson as if nothing had happened.
Simpson, on the other hand, had not recovered yet and was still standing there blankly. Helena stood aside in fear, covering her mouth, as if she couldn't believe the scene that just happened.
Snake paused as he passed by Simpson, looked at his friend who had known each other since childhood, sighed, and said: "The man just now is called Yeze, you'd better not mess with him again. Saint Quan
It was he who retrieved the rod, alone!"
Simpson was shocked and looked at Snake in horror.
Snake didn't say anything. He walked a few steps quickly to catch up with John and Yeze, and soon disappeared around the corner.
……………………
The square where the airship is parked is called Travelers Square. Near the Snowy Mountains, there are two thick jade pillars more than 20 meters high.
Here is the dividing line between the Daxue Mountains.
Pilgrims from outside can move freely below, but they must not cross the jade pillar to the other side. Violators will be expelled at the least, or be killed at the worst.
On this side of the square, a large number of pilgrims were kneeling in dense numbers. Some of them wanted to ask for the elixir of death, but there were also some who sincerely paid homage to the saint. However, no one dared to cross the jade pillar before getting permission. Although, no one dared to cross the jade pillar. People guard.
Under countless envious looks, Yeze and Snake followed John through the jade pillars and reached the stone steps.
Ye Ze raised his head and looked upward.
The stone steps more than five meters wide extend along the mountain path and windingly towards the top of the mountain, reaching into the clouds, seemingly without end.
"My dear, there must be a few steps here..." Ye Ze lamented.
"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine." Snake said: "After climbing these stone steps, you can reach the real holy land."
"..." Yeze's eyes were in a trance, and he said helplessly: "Then crawl."
Seeing Ye Ze and others walking up the stone steps, the pilgrims were even more excited, and some even kept kowtowing, hoping to impress the saint and allow themselves to climb the stone steps.
Pilgrims kowtowed, but Ye Ze walking on the stone steps did not feel honored. Climbing these steps would not make Ye Ze tired, but it was extremely boring.
There are similar trees and white snow on both sides. Walking one step after another, it seems like you are standing still, which is quite a test for the human spirit.
After climbing for a while, Yeze got a little annoyed and couldn't help complaining: "It's such a long stone step, you don't have to worry about walking back and forth every day."
"People in the Snowy Mountains rarely go this way." Snake said: "On the other side, there is an elevator that goes straight to the top. If something happens, I usually take that one."
"What?" Yeze stopped and widened his eyes: "Why do you have to climb this when there is such a convenient thing?"
Snake said: "This is the spiritual trial ladder, a test of willpower. We have just started, and as we go up, the stone steps will change. They may be taller, narrower, or precipitous..."
Before Snake could finish his introduction, Ye Ze turned around and walked down.
"What are you doing?" Snake asked curiously.
"Nonsense, of course I'm going to take the elevator!" Yeze said matter-of-factly: "If you don't take it when it's convenient, you have to climb this, I'm sick."
"This..." Yeze ran down quickly. Snake couldn't stop shouting and looked at John with some embarrassment.
John's face also looked a little unnatural, and he said helplessly: "Then let's go take the elevator too."
Climbing the trial ladder of the Snowy Mountains is a test and an honor. Everyone who is qualified to enter the Holy Land will automatically climb this stone ladder without being reminded by others. People like Yeze give up the stone ladder and take the elevator , this is the first one in John's memory. However, there are indeed no hard and fast rules for this in the Snowy Mountains. Even if Ye Ze is unwilling to climb, John cannot force him.
Just like that, under the puzzled and surprised eyes of the pilgrims, Yeze ran down again and turned to the other side of the stone steps. On the other side, there were eighteen elevators. Surrounded by solid wooden frames, in the middle They are hung by thick chains and raised and lowered at a uniform speed.
"How convenient this is." Ye Ze turned around and called Snake: "Hurry up, one of them is coming down soon."
Snake smiled bitterly and quickened his pace. John, the old man in white robe, shook his head helplessly.
The elevator has an area of six meters square. I don't know what drives it. It is very fast but very stable. It rises at a constant speed despite the whistling of the wind.
Yeze looked at the scenery around him happily and kept praising himself for his wisdom. But Snake had already lowered his head in shame.
After less than half an hour, the elevator reached the top of the mountain.
After stepping out of the elevator, Yeze was shocked by the sight before him before he could express his gratitude for his wise decision again.
On the top of the mountain, there are countless tall trees standing hundreds of meters high, and hundreds of gorgeous and dazzling white palaces are scattered among them. Various birds fly in groups among the palaces. The sun shines,
Surrounded by mist, it really feels like a fairyland on earth.
Ye Ze couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Regardless of other things, just based on the appearance, this place is enough to deserve the name of a holy place.
"Let's go, the saint is waiting."
John led the way, followed by Yeze and Snake.
On the way, Ye Ze saw some men and women walking in twos and threes on the forest path. They were all dressed in white robes, handsome men and women, and they all looked like otherworldly people. When they saw Ye Ze and others, they looked at them indifferently at most.
, and then continue to go their own ways. Only when they pass by the three of them, will they bow slightly to John.
Yeze watched for a while longer, then focused his gaze on Snake's face, looking at it carefully as if he were looking at an alien.
Snake felt very uncomfortable when Ye Ze looked at him and asked, "What do you think I'm doing?"
"Do you look like someone from the Snowy Mountains?" Yeze said, "Although the people here look cold, they are all good-looking. But you... have dark skin and are ugly..."
Snake coughed twice and did not answer Ye Ze's words. Snake understood that even if he explained, Ye Ze would not be able to say anything nice later.
"arrive!"
In front of the highest and largest palace, John stopped and said: "The First Saint is inside, you go in."
Ye Ze and Snake looked at each other and walked into the palace side by side. Snake held the scepter in his hand tightly, his face flushed and he was extremely excited. Even Ye Ze was much more honest.
No one knows how many legendary powerhouses there are in the Snow Mountains, but among them, there are only ten people with the title of saint, and they are all awe-inspiring beings. The first saint is even more mysterious, like a god-like figure. It is said that
, the First Saint was not only proficient in the lost art of divination, but was also hundreds of years old.
Yeze has always scoffed at this. Although Yuanli has the effect of prolonging life, it is also limited. One hundred to twenty years old is already considered a human spirit. How many years old? In Yeze's opinion, it is completely the product of the old fool's deception.
.
However, Yeze still maintained a certain degree of awe for this top magician in the Zerbist continent. Even if the others were fake, the legendary strength would not be fake.
The interior of the palace is extremely empty. Except for the rows of white jade pillars, there is no decoration at all. The empty hall gives people a solemn and solemn feeling.
When they reached almost the middle, Yeze and Snake stopped.
In front, there is a stepped white jade platform, more than ten meters high. At the top of the platform, an old man in white robes sits cross-legged.
The old man had a ruddy complexion and closed his eyes. His silver-white hair and long beard were spread evenly down to his feet.
The first saint.
"I have seen the first saint." Snake knelt down on one knee, covered his chest and lowered his head.
All the saints in Daxue Mountain have names, except the first saint. The first saint is both a title and a name.
Ye Ze followed Snake's example and knelt down on one knee, but quietly raised his head and took a peek.
The first saint slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were clear and without any power.
However, when Ye Ze and the saint met their eyes, they trembled inexplicably, and couldn't help but feel a warm and comfortable feeling in their hearts. It seemed that the old man in front of him was an elder who doted on him very much. (To be continued. If you
