Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1684 Yu Kui
"Is this... a dead end?"

Looking at the dark rock wall in front of him, Ji Jiashu frowned and asked.

"No, it shouldn't be."

Li Ji concentrated his energy on his eyes, and with the faint light of the fire, he could see a circle of gaps closing on the rock wall in front of him.

Both in size and shape, they are very similar to the hole they came in before.

"This is……"

Ying Baoyue hesitated for a moment, walked to Li Ji's side, and stroked the circle of cracks on the stone wall with his hand.

"Hold the moon, don't touch it."

Ji Jiashu was a little nervous, looking at the closed hole in front of him, for some reason, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Mingming Cave was unusually quiet, but there seemed to be a kind of agitation in the dark, jumping on the stone wall in front of him.

But Li Ji and Ying Baoyue did not respond to this.

"Jiashu?" Ying Baoyue turned around, "It's okay."

"This hole should be blocked by something."

Li Ji's judgment was correct, this should be the exit of the cave, but unlike the entrance, the cave seemed to be blocked by something from the outside.

Ying Baoyue caressed the edge of the hole carefully, "The one outside is also a stone slab?"

She pushed the rock wall blocked in the circle of the hole, and found that it felt different from the edge of the hole, but they were all the same hard and cold, like stones of different textures.

It looks like there is a huge boulder covering the hole outside.

"maybe."

Li Ji also stretched out his hand and pushed the rock wall blocking the entrance of the cave, but when he couldn't push it, he frowned, "Both of you back away."

Ji Jiashu and Ying Baoyue immediately followed suit, and after the two retreated three steps away, Li Ji drew his sword out of its sheath and swung it sharply at the sealed hole in front of him.

"Whoa!"

Sword lights radiated everywhere, and water splashed everywhere.

Ying Baoyue pressed her hair that was blown tousled by the wind, looked up, and found that the stone wall in front of her was still motionless.

Not only did he remain motionless, there was not even a trace of a sword mark on the rock wall inside the cave entrance.

The rock walls around the entrance of the cave were scratched with sword marks by Li Ji's water method, and stones fell from the roof of the cave.

"What the hell is this?"

Ji Jiashu stepped forward, and couldn't help stroking the rock wall blocking the entrance of the cave, "Could it be that the stone blocking the outside is Longlin Rock?"

It was able to survive the sword of a celestial cultivator intact, even the Longlin Rock that was used to build the stage for the middle-rank ceremony was probably not so hard.

"No, this thing..."

Li Ji's fingers holding the Juque sword moved, and strange emotions filled his eyes.

The feel of the cut just now is inexplicably not like a stone.

"Chunhua, let me go from there..."

Li Ji was about to drink Ji Jiashu back, but there was only a click, and a glimmer of light penetrated the tight opening of the hole.

"Hey?"

Ying Baoyue was a little surprised.

"Is the hole open?"

Sensing the sudden movement of the stone under his palm, Ji Jiashu withdrew his hand abruptly, and opened his eyes wide at the scene in front of him.

The opening of the hole that was originally closed was suddenly opened, and the rising sun shot in from the outside, shining on the faces of the three of them.

Seeing the sunlight suddenly, all three of them instinctively closed their eyes.

Ying Baoyue felt like a black shadow flashed outside, but when she opened her eyes, there was only a snow-capped mountain outside the cave.

"It was Ah Ji just now, did you push the stone down?"

Looking at the hole that opened in front of him, Ying Baoyue asked in a daze.

"probably."

Ji Jiashu raised his hand and glanced at his palm, feeling a little lost.

He just touched the stone wall just now, and it was useless at all. He couldn't be the one who pushed down the stone blocking the entrance of the cave, right?

It is estimated that the force exerted by Li Ji with the sword before has remained on the stone, but the stone is too heavy, and it took a while to be pushed down.

Li Ji frowned tightly and said nothing.

But the next moment, he was attracted by the scenery outside the cave, and his black eyes looked out of the cave.

"We came out..."

The three of them forgot about the weird time difference just now, and looked out of the cave one after another.

There was still a cliff outside the cave, but just three feet away, a new ladder appeared on the opposite rock wall.This ladder leads straight to the top of Yunshou Peak, and the brightest sunlight can be seen gathering at a place like a lake on the top of the peak.

"There... is Mingguangding, right?"

Ji Jiashu opened his mouth in a daze.

The ladder in front of them is probably the last section of the fourth level of the hundred-mile ladder.And the place where this ladder leads should be the end point of this high-level ceremony.

The fifth pass, Mingguangding.

"Well, that's Mingguangding."

At this time, a familiar voice suddenly came from the ears of the three of them.

"Fei Lan?"

Ying Baoyue was startled, and couldn't help calling out the name.

Murong Feilan was taken aback for a moment, then came back to his senses the next moment, facing the void in front of Chen Zihan, he said softly, "Your Highness, it is as long as you are fine."

Ying Baoyue was brought back to her senses by this name, only to realize that she subconsciously called Murong Feilan's name just now.

Fortunately, no one else cares about this small detail.Chen Zihan breathed a sigh of relief in the wind.

"Thank God, it's finally connected."

Chen Zihan felt the breath coming from the wind method, and finally waited until the three of Ying Baoyue came out of the closed hole.

"Well," Ying Baoyue smiled, "The three of us are fine, thanks for your hard work, Zihan."

Chen Zihan's ability to send the wind method to such a high place is really amazing.

"Then just walk up that section of the ladder, right?"

Listening to the conversation between Ying Baoyue and Chen Zihan, Ji Jiashu also felt relieved and carefully looked at the way ahead.

Although the cliff in front of him looked terrifying, but if it was only three feet away, the three of them could jump over it.

"Shall we jump to the opposite side?"

Ying Baoyue nodded.

Ji Jiashu glanced at Li Ji, "Which one of us will jump first?"

Li Ji clenched the hilt of the sword at his waist, "I'll come first."

He jumped over first, and when Ji Jiashu and Ying Baoyuetiao were next, he could catch them on the opposite side.

"Okay," Ying Baoyue said, "Be careful."

"Well," Li Ji nodded calmly, took a few steps back in the cave, and then jumped forward.

An arc was drawn across the top of the abyss, and the next moment, Li Ji's figure appeared on the opposite ladder.

Li Ji turned his head cautiously, and found that on the last section of the ladder, it seemed that there was no harm in turning around.

He felt relieved, turned around and waved to Ji Jiashu and Ying Baoyue who were standing in the cave.

"Baoyue, Chunhua, come here."

Seeing that Li Ji jumped over safely, Ji Jiashu heaved a sigh of relief, and pushed Ying Baoyue, "You jump first."

He followed behind, and if Ying Baoyue encountered any danger, he could follow to remedy it.

Ying Baoyue nodded, and was about to jump out of the hole with a run-up.

But at this moment, she noticed that the eyes of Li Ji who was standing opposite had changed.

Li Ji's gaze slowly moved up and landed on the top of her and Ji Jiashu's heads.

In the eyes of his mask, the pupils shrank violently.

"Hold the moon, Chunhua! Go back!"

what happened?
Ying Baoyue was taken aback for a moment, but at this moment, a huge boulder with the height of two people suddenly shook down from outside the cave.

The stone looked familiar no matter its color or shape.

Ying Baoyue froze at the entrance of the cave, only to see a huge gray leg attached to the "big rock", hanging down from above like a big pendulum.

"This is……"

The blood all over Ji Jiashu's body was frozen, and only then did he realize that he was being watched by something.

He clung to the cave wall with stiff hands, and slowly raised his head.

An eye the size of a human head hung above his head.

A giant beast that looked like a cow, had no horns, and only had one foot was lying on top of the cave where he and Ying Baoyue were.

It was pale gray all over, and it was almost integrated with the rocks. A pair of huge bull's eyes were quietly watching him.

　Kuí Niu, also known as Thunder Beast, is a one-legged monster in ancient Chinese myths and legends, mostly with one horn, one foot, open mouth and curled tail. "Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Dong Jing" records: "The shape is like a cow, the body is green but has no horns, one leg, and when entering and exiting the water, there must be wind and rain. Its light is like the sun and the moon, and its sound is like thunder. It is called 'Kui'.
