ask the mirror

Chapter 395 Qingge

The hustle and bustle went away and things got back to normal.

Yu Ci and Yu Zhou flew unhurriedly. On the way, they asked Yu Ci a few words about what Yu Ci had learned in the past year's retreat, and Yu Ci answered them one by one.But what surprised Yu Ci was that the old man really looked like he was flying aimlessly and talking aimlessly. Could it be that he was just "chatting" as he said?

Does not look like.

Slowly, the old Taoist changed the subject: "You have been in Zongmen for so long, you should be familiar with this place?"

Yu Ci didn't understand, so he let out an "uh" as a response.

The old Taoist smiled and pointed to a mountain peak on the side: "Where is that place?"

"..."

"Ha, that's Mount Kiga. The place with the strangest name in the mountain gate is the place where a senior from the Western Buddhist country passed away, so it got its name. You should pay attention to this kind of information, Ci. yes."

Yu Ci couldn't answer, since he came to the mountain gate, apart from practicing and retreating, he only had a little free time, just memorizing the complicated paths in the mountain gate is enough to cause headaches, how could he have the leisure to care about this.

In fact, Yu Zhou didn't care about it, he seemed to be in a good mood, and continued walking with a smile on his face, pointing to a few remote places, testing Yu Ci's memory, and taking pleasure in Yu Ci's embarrassment.

After several times, Yu Ci finally couldn't help but beg for forgiveness. He felt strange when the old Taoist came out like this, as if he was out of touch with the Lichen Sect's mountain gate, and he was completely an outsider.The old man laughed, and finally stopped teasing him, and changed the topic to the conflict with Xia Boyang and others.

"That Xia Boyang is impetuous on the surface, but in fact he is calm, and he has a good grasp of the scale. Don't let him fool you."

"Yes."

Yu Ci was not surprised at all. Xia Boyang was certainly not a light-hearted person. Back in the Sword Immortal Secret Realm, he escaped from the control of the master of Shenjian Cave early on. Ci will never underestimate him.

Old Taoist Yu Zhou reminded him: "Since the marriage between Qianshan Sect and Feihun City in the last catastrophe, one of the two families has vented their anger. Waiting is different."

"The disciple understands."

Yu Ci calmly replied: "After today's show, it's nothing more than a sword garden incident. I thought of 'breaking the surface with a point', opening a breakthrough here for the disciples. Unfortunately, they made a wrong calculation..."

"If you can think of this, I'm relieved."

Yu Zhou nodded in approval, then he suddenly lowered his sword light and waved to Yu Ci: "It's rare to go back to the mountain gate today, I'll take you to see the most interesting scenery here."

Yu Ci blinked, and the Talisman hurriedly followed.

All the way down, Yu Ci estimated that there was a distance of two hundred miles, and he arrived at the foot of the Optimus Mountain Pillar.

Although the main building of Zhaixing is high in the air, almost thousands of miles away, the actual height of the Optimus Mountain Pillar has to be reduced, because there is a considerable distance between itself and the real earth.Even so, when people look up and see this gigantic monster that is as tall as the clouds and seems to be connected to the sky and the earth, they can still feel awe.

If you look at it more carefully, the detours up the mountain road, the stairs are densely stretched, and you can only see the end, but it is difficult to see the end. It is also an amazing work of magic.

However, the old Taoist Yu Zhou brought him here just to see this?Yu Ci didn't dare to confirm, so he specifically asked again:

"Ask your heart?"

"Yes, ask your heart."

Yu Ci gave a dry laugh, and looked up. The path of the stone steps dug on the Optimus Mountain Pillar was no more than five feet wide, and it was a bit narrow for the two of them walking side by side. At first, this section was straight, but slowly it began to circle around, and it was narrow. The path appeared and disappeared from time to time, and finally disappeared completely in layers of clouds and mist.

At this time, Yu Zhou said softly: "When I was young, the sect didn't set restrictions on this place. It was really lively at that time. There were dozens or hundreds of fellow sects who came here every day to practice in the name of 'asking the heart'. .All day long, you can watch them shuttle up and down, or simply occupy the mountain road, and if you are not careful at night, you dare to step on one."

As he spoke, he even became a little excited: "At that time, there was a legend that said that if a disciple walked up one step at a time without any other means, only with physical strength, the sect would grant his wish, or Realm improvement and the like—remember, you can’t rest in the middle!”

Yu Ci grinned.

Yu Zhou smiled happily: "Of course it's a lie, and I don't know which wicked guy thought it up, but at that time, it was hidden from many people. Lu De, Qian Bao, and Hai Yang were all fooled and worked hard Climbing up the ground, I just wanted to get some benefits from the Zongmen. Haha, at that time, everyone had already calculated the itinerary of Wenxin Road, with a vertical height of 870 miles and more than 450 million steps.

"If you want to climb up purely by your body, it will take a few days of hard work, but the most exciting thing is that you have to go up step by step, without rest at all in the middle, almost maintaining a rhythm. Who can bear this? You can only have one A fiasco that kept that lie going for a long time."

Yu Ci also became interested: "Then Yu Guanzhu...has he walked by?"

"To tell you the truth, I passed by."

Yu Zhou stroked his beard and shook his head, as if nostalgic, but also as if he was feeling emotional: "I walked with people a few times, but I didn't achieve perfection, but the scenery on the road is very memorable and quite unique."

As he said that, he became emotional, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Come on, let's walk again today!

"what?"

"Ha, don't be afraid, we're just going for a walk, there's no limit, it's fine to run around or something."

Yu Ci scratched his head, thinking that it was because old Taoist Yu Zhou had a problem today.He had such thoughts in his heart, but he still readily agreed.

The two immediately climbed the mountain road, and they didn't speed up deliberately. They just let the horse rein, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.Generally speaking, the speed is quite fast, but the more than 400 million steps are still too scary. With such a walking method, the two of them only walked a little more than half of the distance until dark.

Probably because Yu Ci still had more than ten days to practice in the main building of Zhaixing, the Zongmen's ban on Wen Xinlu was not implemented, at least no one came to disturb them, and there were only the two of them on the long mountain road.During this period, old Taoist Yu Zhou said a lot, but Yu Ci could not remember much, most of them were what he had seen and heard on the mountain road with those friends Lu De and Qian Bao.

On both sides of the mountain road, the talisman aura occasionally flickered, but most of the time they were far away.On the Way of Asking Heart, like the vacuum area of ​​talismans on the Optimus Mountain Pillar, according to Yu Zhou, it was designed to calm the climbers.

The night was already very deep, and after a while, it would be dawn, at some point, Yu Zhou stopped talking, and the two of them just hurried on the road in silence, the mountain road was silent, not even the singing of birds, so Yu Ci felt a little nervous. Not used to it, after a long silence, he wanted to initiate a topic.

At this moment, Yu Zhou pressed his fingers to his lips and said in a low voice, "Listen!"

Yu Ci was startled, thinking that something had happened, immediately pricked up his ears.However, there is nothing but the soft sound of the grass blades rubbing and swaying when the mountain wind blows.

He was so puzzled that he could only look at Yu Zhou, asking for an answer.

"A person like you is called Wuhuigen."

Yu Zhou slapped him on the back of the head, not very hard, but Yu Ci was still a little embarrassed.The old Taoist shook his head, stretched out a finger, and gestured up and down: "Listen carefully, listen carefully, there is actually a tune here."

"..."

Yu was completely dizzy, and saw the old man looking up at the stars above the mountain road, his fingers moving in the air according to a certain rhythm, and humming the tune softly.Yu Ci seemed to be clear, but under the leadership of the old Taoist, he gradually felt that the sound of the wind seemed weak but strong, and under the dancing of his fingers, he really had some rhythm.

Just like that, the old man hummed vaguely, and the two walked up again. The distant tune and the mountain breeze lingered in their ears, and finally at a certain moment, it blew up to the sky, gradually high-pitched, and even the long song was loud and clear:

"The sky connects the clouds and the morning mist, and the galaxy is about to turn into a thousand sails. It's like a dream soul returning to the emperor. Hearing the words of the sky, Qin Qin asked me where I belong... Qin Qin asked me where I belong!"

Yu Ci was stunned when he heard this song. This song was widely circulated. It was composed by a Qingzhao female fairy in ancient times. Yu Ci had also heard it before. , the meaning is unclear.But there is a feeling of desolation and distantness, wrapped in the heart, throwing the human soul into the endless starry sky.

Unconsciously, Yu Ci also looked up at the sky, inexplicably thinking: The starry sky is deep and endless, where is the destination?

Immediately, his heart skipped a beat, and he shouted suddenly: "Yu Guanzhu!"

Yu Zhou was surprised, turned his face to look at him, Yu Ci was immediately stunned by this look, could it be just an illusion?Soon, he found something different, with his mouth open, staring at Yu Zhou's head, not knowing what to say.

On that, time is turning back.

The beard and hair slowly mixed with some gray and black color, and the old face gradually erased the traces of wrinkles, and became smooth and youthful, just like at the source of the Jiehe River.The conversion is not that drastic, but the step by step is even more thrilling.

Yu Ci was both surprised and delighted, he could clearly feel that the vitality surging from Yu Zhou was so strong that it made people feel suffocated.

"Guanzhu Yu, you, you..."

Before he finished speaking, a strong light tore through the sky in the distance, and there was a faint whistling sound, which attracted the echo of Wan He.

Old Taoist Yu Zhou signaled Yu Ci to take a look: "Xifeng has been lying in bed for many years, and finally became a blockbuster. Now that he has stepped into the sky, the sect has another strong opponent."

How could Yu Ci have the mood to take care of that? It was only natural for Huaxi Peak to break through, but what was Yu Zhou showing now?

The old Taoist smiled and didn't answer, but continued to move forward. On his body, the phenomenon of backflow of time has not stopped, his beard and hair have gradually turned black, his skin is compact and smooth, and even his steps are much more vigorous, making Yu Ci's pursuit very difficult.

Suddenly, the old Taoist stopped: "It's almost dawn!"

Yu Ci looked up, it was indeed dawn, but with the cover of the mountain, the mountain path was still very dark.But before rushing all the way, the peak was not far away, so the old man just stopped.

When Yu Ci was puzzled, he suddenly heard the old Taoist chanting softly, which was a continuation of the previous words: "I report that the road is long and the sun is setting..."

This should not be the case.

The old way's lyrics are not diverted from his will, but continue to follow. On the already heroic and youthful face, the smile is profound and incomprehensible:

"I report that the road is long and the sun is setting. If you learn from immortals, there will be real people crossing."

Yu Ci's chest suddenly became very stuffy, and he opened his mouth to speak, but Yu Zhou's hand stepped on his shoulder first, his eyes fixed, and the strength on his fingers was so strong:

"Ninety-thousand miles of wind and roc is moving. The wind stops, and the peng boat blows three mountains... The peng boat blows three mountains!"

The singing was long, followed by a long laugh, a sword light appeared in front of Yu Ci's eyes, Yu Zhou turned into a long rainbow, and went straight to the Star Picking Tower.

Yu Ci was startled, and chased after him with all his strength, but his speed was a bit behind, how could he catch up?

When he gritted his teeth and rushed to the top of the peak, and there was no sign of anyone, he went upstairs again, but today, the main building of Zhaixing, no one worked hard, it was empty, which made people feel cold.At this moment, Yu Ci suddenly felt an unreal dreamlike feeling, looking at the already familiar scene, he felt inexplicably, could it be that everything just now was a dream?

Suddenly there was a sword's "chanting" in his ears, his heart tightened, he jumped out of the fence, and then went up.

Above is Juxingtai, a place he has never set foot in.

When he turned up, what caught his eye was the long sword with a sheath in the center of the platform that stuck straight to the ground.The name of the sword is:

Gone!
