Chapter 45: Climb to the top of the mountain and realize the state of emptiness and darkness
Wenhe Tower, fourth floor, in a wing room.
The young master Bai Di of Liliu Village, after staring at Xu Taiping who was climbing to the top step by step in the spiritual mirror for a long time, suddenly picked up a jade slip and said:
"Steward Lu, help me find out about this casual cultivator named Chu Ping'an and find out where he comes from."
After hearing this, the masked woman on the side warned the young master Bai Di in a cold tone:
"Bai Di, the Zhenwu Swordsman Association will start in ten days. If you cause any trouble, I won't help you clean it up."
When Bai Di heard this, he narrowed his eyes and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Uncle Zijin, I'm just asking about it in advance."
As he spoke, his eyes once again fell on Xu Taiping in the spiritual mirror, and then he said with a hint of envy in his eyes:
"I heard that according to the rules set by Emperor Zhenwu during his lifetime, those who reach the top of the mountain can drink from the spiritual spring in the Star Basin in front of the Golden Palace."
The masked woman nodded and said:
"indeed so."
The masked woman continued:
"Emperor Zhenwu, left a few sword intentions in this basin of stars. The so-called spring water is actually the aura of heaven and earth that was transformed by his sword intentions."
"After drinking it, there is a chance that you will be able to comprehend the sword intention left by Emperor Zhenwu."
After receiving confirmation from the masked woman, in addition to the original envy, there was a trace of jealousy in Bai Di's eyes.
"boom!……"
At this time, a strong wind suddenly roared down from the top of the mountain and hit Xu Taiping hard.
Although it was just an ordinary strong wind, it was very likely to be a fatal blow to Xu Taiping at this time.
With a "click" sound, Xu Taiyuan's feet, which were about to step onto the steps, were struck by the strong wind of sword energy and could not stand firm. He stumbled and slipped down the stone steps, kneeling heavily on the stone steps.
on the sharp corners of the steps.
Seeing this, Bai Di said coldly:
"To be so desperate and to exhaust all the true energy and blood in his body, perhaps for him, these last few dozen stone steps are the real test."
The masked woman on the side did not refute.
Because judging from the current situation, what Bai Di said is actually right. Even if Chu Pingan defeated all the evil people in the Pavilion of Ten Evils by himself, if he could not climb the last few dozen stone steps, he would still be
It's all in vain.
…
"Cough, cough, cough, cough..."
On the Peak of All Evils, after Xu Taiping coughed up a few balls of dirty blood, he punched the stone steps with his still intact hand, and stood up little by little against the strong wind blowing down from the top of the mountain.
"call……"
Xu Taiping stood up, let out a long breath, and then slowly lifted his feet amidst the indescribable pain of tearing his skin and flesh, and then placed them on the stone steps.
Although there is no longer any evil to stop him, because he has not really reached the top of the mountain yet, he cannot yet use the power of true energy or the power of qi and blood to repair this body by improving his physical cultivation.
I can only carry it like this at this moment.
"Crack!"
At this time, Xu Taiping moved his heavy steps up another step.
The afterglow of the setting sun was finally not blocked by the mountain peaks and shone on Xu Taiping's face.
For no reason, Xu Taiping, whose face was covered in blood, raised the corners of his mouth in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Since he started practicing, Xu Taiping has faced situations like today's alone no less than ten times.
But the difference is that the dozen times before today, the reason why he had to face this kind of situation was simply to improve his cultivation or his own survival.
It's more like a choice made due to the situation.
But climbing the Ten Thousand Evils Peak today is different.
Whether or not to climb to the top of the Ten Thousand Evils Peak has no impact on his cultivation, nor will it threaten his survival. It is not a decision made because the lives of relatives and friends are at stake.
The reason why I chose to climb this evil peak.
Just because he wanted to do this, he was willing to take some risks to help the monks who might be caught in the murderous situation of Jiuyuan and Su Chan.
This kind of unfettered decision made his Taoist heart feel extremely peaceful.
And in this situation where Dao's heart was at peace, Xu Taiping suddenly felt like he was out of body.
As long as his mind sinks, he can clearly sense every plant and tree within a radius of more than a hundred miles, centered on the Ten Thousand Evil Peak.
In the past, only the soul could do this if it left the body.
"boom!……"
At this moment, another gust of wind roared down from the top of Wanxie Peak, like a tiger descending from the mountain and heading straight for Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping was already hunched over, ready to withstand the strong wind even if he was lying on the ground.
But for some reason, when the strong wind blew over, he did not lie down, but stretched out his hand and gently moved it to one side against the strong wind.
Then, Xu Taiping pushed aside the strong wind from in front of him, just like opening a gauze curtain.
At the same time, with the Ten Thousand Evils Peak as the center, the mountains within a radius of a hundred miles began to rise in mist, and the extremely pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to converge towards the Ten Thousand Evils Peak.
Just as Xu Taiping was experiencing this strange feeling and walking towards the top of the Wanshen Peak, the voice of Fairy Lingyue suddenly sounded in his mind——
"Taiping, wake up!"
This call, which contained extremely powerful spiritual power, directly awakened Xu Taiping.
At the same time, the mist and the aura of heaven and earth rising from the peaks around the Wanshen Peak all returned to the mountain like an ebbing tide.
Except for a few hermits in the mountains, very few people noticed this scene.
Xu Taiping, who didn't know why, happened to be awakened by the voice of Fairy Lingyue and encountered a strong wind roaring down from the top of the mountain.
But fortunately, there were only four or five stone steps left to reach the top, so Xu Taiping put aside all the confusion in his mind and rushed forward quickly.
"boom!"
After Xu Taiping pushed away the strong wind, he jumped to the top of the mountain.
Then, without any hesitation, he stuffed a Grass Return Pill into his mouth, activated his true energy with all his strength, and displayed the body of an angry lion.
In an instant, a violent aura wave spread from Xu Taiping's body, directly knocking away the strong wind on the peak.
Almost at the same time, Fairy Lingyue’s voice sounded in his mind again——
"Taiping, you were too dangerous just now!" Asked Helou, on the fourth floor, in a wing room.
The young master Bai Di of Liliu Village, after staring at Xu Taiping who was climbing to the top step by step in the spiritual mirror for a long time, suddenly picked up a jade slip and said:
"Steward Lu, help me find out about this casual cultivator named Chu Ping'an and find out where he comes from."
