I don’t know if this counts as the two of us having bottomed out, but with this blue light as a guide, the road ahead turned out to be smooth sailing without any trouble.
I don't know how long I walked in the darkness. Anyway, just when I felt like my legs were about to break, the little Taoist priest suddenly stopped.
"Go forward, what are you stopping for?"
Even though my energy was almost exhausted, I still glared at the little Taoist priest.
We are both tired and hungry now. There is no end in sight of this cave. Instead of wasting time resting here, it is better to move forward as soon as possible.
"I, we seem to have arrived..."
The little Taoist priest started to stutter when he spoke.
After hearing what he said, I immediately took a few steps forward and came directly to his side.
Although it was only a few steps away, when I came to the little Taoist priest, I realized that the scenery in front of me had changed drastically.
"Is this the legendary Yunming Terrace?"
When the little Taoist priest spoke, his voice was a little hoarse.
"I'm not dreaming..."
Although I have never believed in miracles, at this moment, I really don’t know how to explain the situation in front of me.
Less than a hundred meters in front of the two of us, a dilapidated tower with a height of several hundred meters and a radius of two or three kilometers was quietly suspended in front of the two of us.
"When the First Emperor set up Yunming Terrace, he found precious trees from all directions, and the world's most skilled craftsmen. In the south, he found Yanqiu green trees, Lishui burning sand, Bendu vermilion mud, and Yungang plain bamboo; in the east, he found green mountains of golden cypresses and wispy dragon cedars.
Stars in the cold river, clouds in the mountains;"
"To the west, we have the floating gold from the sea, the jade from Langyuan, the rosy mulberry from Tiaozhang, and the materials from the Shen Tang Dynasty; from the north, we have the dry lacquer from Mingfu, the script from Yinban, the black spirit from the stream, and the fragrant qiong from the dark sea. This is a collection of rare things. There are
Both of them were flying rafters and carrying heavy axes in the clouds. They started working at midnight and finished at noon..."
The little Taoist priest seemed to be talking in his sleep and kept talking about the records about Yunming Terrace in the Supplementary Notes.
"Look there!"
At this time, the little Taoist priest suddenly pointed to the right hand side crazily and shook my shoulders vigorously.
"Why do I feel like the two of us are in an illusion..."
Looking at the tower hidden in the clouds, I really don't know how to make myself believe that everything in front of me is real...
"Snapped--"
"Damn it, why did you hit me?"
At this moment, the little Taoist priest suddenly slapped me on the face without thinking.
"Didn't you say you were in an illusion? There is no pain in an illusion!"
"I!"
Seeing that guy's natural look on his face, I wanted to kick him down.
"Okay, okay, stop making trouble, let's find a way to go over and have a look! Look at that position, does it look like a big seal character?"
Listening to what he said, I really felt that what he said seemed to make some sense.
"If that is a number, does that mean that the rumor of the twelve Yunming Towers is true..."
Although the Yunming Tower in front of us is very dilapidated, the outline of the main building on it is still clearly visible.
"So what was that blue light we just saw?"
After a brief shock, I suddenly remembered the blue light that attracted us.
Although this is deep in the cave, right above the cloud platform, a light yellow beam of light directly covers the entire tower from top to bottom.
Below is the boundless cloud and mist, and there is no trace of the blue light from beginning to end.
"Wait a moment!"
After being reminded by me, the little Taoist suddenly remembered this problem and immediately took a few steps back while talking.
"What a hell!"
After taking more than a dozen steps back, the little Taoist priest was immediately on the same spot.
"This is the last step where you can see the blue light. If you take another step forward, you won't be able to see anything!"
"How about the two of us go over and take a look?"
I don’t know why, but ever since I saw this Yunming Tower, I always felt like there was a voice in my head, constantly encouraging me to go there.
"I'm afraid it won't be easy to get over it. Look there, the crack is already obvious. This thing is more than two thousand years old now. If the two of us stand on it, we might really be able to destroy it.
It collapsed..."
I don’t know what happened here back then, but just looking at the cracks that were torn apart like spider webs was enough to make people tremble.
"It's only a hundred meters away. With the speed of the two of us, even if something happens, we can still escape back without any problem!"
I don’t know why I was so obsessed with it at that time, or maybe it was because of the weird Dharma image on my back.
Anyway, no matter what the little Taoist priest said, I still insisted on going up and taking a look.
Thinking about it now, if the little Taoist priest had been more determined at that time, there might not have been so many things later.
Of course, there is no regret medicine in this world!
Seeing my persistence, the little Taoist priest was a little embarrassed, but he did not continue to refuse.
"Even if we have to go there, how should the two of us get there? When they built it, there should have been a mechanism. Now that more than two thousand years have passed, can the mechanism still be used?"
The little Taoist priest looked around and murmured to himself.
"Let me give it a try!"
"You try? You try a hammer! The mechanism that was used more than two thousand years ago, and now you..."
"Fuck!"
I don’t know how that complicated set of mudra appeared in my mind. Anyway, I just followed the memory in my mind, took four steps in succession, and then started to form the mudra.
After completing the last mudra, he patted the cliff next to him seven times in a strange posture.
Before the little Taoist priest could finish his words, a long stone staircase slowly rose up amid the shaking of the sea of clouds.
"you you……"
After uttering a curse word, the little Taoist priest looked at me with a strange look on his face, holding the mahogany sword tightly in his hand.
"If I say, I don't know how I got this set of handprints, would you believe it..."
Although this matter sounded strange, I really couldn't think of how to explain it to him, so I told him truthfully.
"If you ask me to cut you with a sword, I will believe you!"
The little Taoist priest hesitated for a moment and then said.
"Cut you! Although your sword is a mahogany sword, it is made of lightning strike wood. If I let you chop me with the sword, you would have to lose your arms and legs? I have been carrying you on my back for so long.
, do you want to kill people and silence them now?"
Hearing what he said, I immediately became angry. This fucker didn't deserve to be beaten!
