Chapter 221: Second Floor of Sword Tomb
When Xiaoxiao stood on the cliff overlooking the zoo, her originally big eyes turned into a pair of copper bells.
"What a beautiful forest!"
Xiao Xiao never imagined that the backside of Blue Rock Peak would be such a wonderful sight.
Xiao Li smiled and said: "When big brother came a few days ago, he had the same expression as senior sister. Come on, the entrance to the second floor of the sword tomb is in the beast garden. I will take you down."
"It's so beautiful here." Xiao Xiao exclaimed and caught a glimpse of Yuan Qing's half-dead face. Her interest immediately dropped by half. She simply ignored him completely and followed Xiao Li down the path.
After entering the forest, Xiao Xiao felt that there were novel things everywhere. There was also a forest under the snow-capped mountains of Maya Mountain. But compared with here, the forest under the mountain was too inconspicuous.
Here, the ancient trees are towering, the forest is green, the branches are shrouded, and the sun is blocked. Every grass is green, and every flower seems to be alive, competing for the breath of spiritual energy.
Xiao Xiao stopped in front of an unknown large flower.
Xiao Li smiled and said: "Sister, if you don't leave, it will eat you."
As soon as Xiao Li finished speaking, the big flower leaned towards Xiao Xiao as if it had grown legs.
"Ah!" Xiao Xiao backed away in fear. Hearing the sound of unsheathing his sword, the big flower broke into two pieces.
Yuan Qing sheathed his sword and said coldly: "This is a man-eating morning glory. It will spit out a stream of liquid at you soon."
Xiao Li said: "Senior Brother Yuanqing is right. This man-eating morning glory cannot hurt the monks. But if it is a mortal, it will be enchanted by the liquid it sprays. It will most likely become its nourishment in the end."
Xiao Xiao frowned slightly. She didn't know why the piece of ice wanted to show kindness to her. She was just thinking about it when she heard Yuanqing say: "The liquid is very smelly. If it sprays on you, you must wash it off. It will waste time."
."
"you!"
Xiao Li immediately came to the rescue: "The liquid is really smelly. I was once a victim. It is the wisest choice not to touch the flowers and plants in the animal garden."
Xiao Xiao cast a sidelong glance at Qianqing and went after Xiao Li.
Because Xiao Li was leading the way, all the spirit beasts along the way would stay away from them when they saw them, but the levels of those spirit beasts were shocking. In just one hour, they encountered four or five spirit beasts whose cultivation had reached the soul level.
There was a snow monster among them, and Xiao Xiao still recognized it. It was the one she had subdued on the snow mountain level to save Pei Feng, and now it had also broken through to the soul realm.
"Could it be that all the powerful spiritual beasts in the snow-capped mountains were brought here?"
"Yes, most of the spirit beasts in the Beast Garden come from the snow-capped mountains, and some are brought back from outside by disciples of all generations."
Yuanqing was completely uninterested in the conversation between the two. He just kept walking. After walking for about an hour, they finally stopped in front of a giant tree.
They could see this giant tree when they were looking at it from the rock wall before. Now they could really feel its magnificence when they actually stood under the tree.
The giant tree is bigger than a hill. Not to mention how tall it is, even its diameter can't be seen at a glance. Each leaf is like a futon.
The huge ancient Qinggu snake poked its head down from the branch and spat out snake letters at the three of them. Xiaoxiao's scalp went numb when he saw it.
"Xiaoqing, go back quickly."
When the big snake heard Xiao Li's harsh tone, it didn't dare to be presumptuous. It shrank back and hid behind those lush leaves.
Xiao Xiao was stunned and asked: "Is this the entrance to the second floor of the Sword Tomb?"
"That's right. There is a tree hole over there. Go straight down from the tree hole and you can enter the Sword Tomb."
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but swallowed. "How many disciples of our Wuji Sect have entered the second floor?"
Xiao Li smiled and asked, "How many Tianlinggen disciples can our Wuji Sect have?"
Xiao Xiao did not hide her pride at all. She snorted softly, "Xia Zhilan, aren't you a genius? Why are you not qualified to come to the second floor?"
Now that they were close, the three of them slowed down. Xiao Xiao couldn't help but look up. She really wanted to know what was on the top of this big tree? She secretly made up her mind to climb up after coming out of the Sword Tomb.
Climb this big tree.
Yuan Qing was still following the two of them, although his face was still expressionless. But if you observe him carefully, it is not difficult to find that his position is getting closer and closer to Xiao Xiao. In other words, under his feet
The pace quickened unknowingly.
After burning incense for a while, they heard a heavy and strange sound. In fact, everyone was familiar with this sound, it was just snoring. But the reason was that the snoring was so exaggerated, like thunder in the clear sky, that it made people's ears buzz.
Sound.
Xiao Xiao had goosebumps all over her body. She felt that people who could make such snoring sounds would most likely eat children, or two in one bite.
Sure enough, they immediately saw the owner of the voice, which was an extremely huge body. He was lying deeply asleep between the two protruding roots of the big tree. This person was familiar to both Xiaoxiao and Yuanqing.
He was the one who took Xiao Li to Broken String Peak more than ten days ago. He is Xiao Li's second senior brother, the most powerful one in Blue Rock Peak.
Xiao Li scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed. He was wondering whether to wake up the second senior brother. After all, the second senior brother's duty is to guard the entrance to the second floor of the Sword Tomb. Now that someone has brought it, it would be inappropriate not to inform him. But if
Wake him up... Xiao Li can't forget the scene a few days ago.
Three snow wolves preyed on the spirit deer. The spirit deer had no way to escape and broke into the place, disturbing the second brother's sleep. Then Xiao Li ate barbecue that day. It was the meat of high-level spirit beasts, which was a rare product.
of deliciousness.
Xiao Li was in a dilemma when he looked up and saw that the big tree hole not far away was open. There was not even a leaf to cover the tree hole. He immediately understood what the second senior brother meant.
Xiao Li said silently to Xiao Xiao and Yuan Qing, and then pointed to the tree hole, indicating that they could go in.
"Ah?" Xiao Xiao frowned. She thought to herself that such an important event as entering the Sword Tomb should have a ceremony or something. If she sneaked in secretly, her ability to talk after returning would be greatly reduced.
Xiao Li urged them to leave quickly. He was worried that these two people had woken up the second senior brother and he would also be angered.
Xiao Xiao turned her head and saw that one of Yuan Qing's feet had already stepped into the tree hole. She didn't want to think about those miscellaneous things anymore. She hurriedly followed. At the same time, she turned back and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Li, don't you go in?"
?”
Xiao Li shook his head. Everything on the second floor was very familiar to him. Feng Lan once told him that there was no creation of his in the Sword Tomb.
After Xiao Xiao also entered the tree hole, Xiao Li shook his head slightly. He had no choice but to take on the heavy responsibility for his second senior brother and guard outside the tree hole. He sighed in his heart that his second senior brother was too unreliable. What if the master knew this?
If something happens, he will definitely be punished.
In fact, Hu Da's slackness is not without reason. It has been guarding the entrance to the second floor for countless years. Even if the tree hole is open, no fly will ever dare to fly in.
If a monk wants to sneak in here, he needs to quietly climb Maya Mountain, quietly enter the Wuji Gate, quietly bypass the Medicine Valley, and quietly climb the Blue Rock Peak. How many pairs of monks' eyes must he avoid along the way? And
After climbing the Blue Rock Peak, he still had to sneak into the Boar Beast Garden. It was even more difficult to avoid the detection of all the spiritual beasts in the Boar Beast Garden.
And when he came to the entrance of the cave, he would face an ancient phantom beast in the form-transformation state. Even if Hu Da fell asleep, there was still the bamboo pole of Feng Lan's disciple in the sword tomb. Who would care about it?
Can you escape his eyes?
Of course, in the world of cultivation, there are no monks who can do all this. But, why do monks who can reach that level come to the second floor of the Sword Tomb of the Wuji Sect? Come to kowtow to the dead Taoist priests inside and ask for good fortune?
Therefore, Hu Da, the gatekeeper, was in name only. It was just that Xiao Li couldn't see through this. He didn't dare to relax at the entrance of the tree hole.
There is no darkness in the passage. The stairs at the foot are also paved with luminous blue rocks. There are luminous spiritual stones on both sides of the passage every ten meters. Even mortals can see clearly through the soft light when they come in.
Environment, let alone a monk.
The passage is very spacious, and the space inside is much larger than the tree hole at the entrance. Xiao Xiao calculated based on the number of stone steps up and down that she was actually walking straight ahead. Her current position may also be
It's about ten meters below the ground at the entrance.
"Could it be said that Blue Rock Peak is empty?" Xiao Xiao said to himself.
The footsteps in front were getting farther and farther. Xiao Xiaoma followed them. She gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart. She really couldn't understand how there could be such a weirdo like Yuan Qing in the world. He had no concept of pity for girls at all in his mind.
They are all regarded as his burden and encumbrance.
She extremely regretted that she was blind before. How could she have a crush on such a person? She decided to never see this person again after leaving Sword Tomb. But at the moment, she still dared not stay too far away from Qianqing. Because she knew that she was
What kind of place was she going to? This was a cemetery that had existed for thousands of years. As long as she thought about the countless dead people buried in it, she would feel that everything around her was eerie.
The footsteps in front suddenly disappeared. Xiao Xiao quickened her pace. Soon she saw Yuan Qing standing at the end of the passage holding a sword. They came in.
The interior of Blue Rock Peak was indeed empty. The empty space in front of her was as big as the Mayan Palace. Many huge tombstones several feet high were neatly arranged from behind. Each tombstone was very far apart. There should be a total of
There are dozens of large tombstones. After all, the leaders of Wuji Sect and cultivation giants of all generations are buried here. The number cannot be too many.
The tombstone is glowing with golden light. There are densely written small characters on it. There are also countless runes. There is a stone door engraved with runes below the tombstone. That should be the tomb door.
When Xiao Xiao really stood here, the faint fear in her heart disappeared instantly. It was replaced by shock. She couldn't help but want to kneel down. Every word on those tombstones seemed to contain great laws. Every symbol
They are all worthy of countless years of understanding for a low-level monk like her.
Xiao Xiaoyi turned his head and saw that Qianqing beside him had begun to kowtow. His face showed piety, which was completely different from his usual face.
Xiao Xiao also immediately knelt down and bowed. Now was not the time to be angry with Qianqing. She would never dare to lose her temper in front of the tombs of these giants. After three kowtows and nine bows, Xiao Xiao saw a thin and thin pavement on the ground.
A long shadow. Her eyes followed the shadow, then turned upward at a ninety-degree right angle, and then she looked at the "bamboo pole" she had seen in the Mayan Palace.
Xiao Xiaoxian lowered his head. The look of this man could definitely scare a child to tears. What's more, he had a terrifying cultivation level. Xiao Xiao was also afraid of this "bamboo pole" in his heart.
Qianqing naturally turned his body towards the bamboo pole and saluted.
Zhugan spoke, concisely and to the point. "Choose a tombstone each to comprehend. Once you understand, the tomb door will open."
Xiao Xiao regretted her impoliteness just now and thought about whether she should give the bamboo pole a monk's gift. But when she looked up again, the bamboo pole disappeared like a ghost. Only the living person in the entire cemetery was the scariest.
Xiao Xiao was very unconvinced. She actually lost to the most rude person in terms of etiquette today. She was worried that this would affect her success here. But she did not dare to speak willfully anymore, and just pursed her lips.
, glared at Qianqing fiercely.
Unexpectedly, Yuanqing took the initiative to speak to her. There was a little tenderness in his tone.
"gentle?"
Yuanqing said: "Xiao Xiao, go and understand that tombstone."
Xiao Xiao looked with resentful eyes. The tombstone he pointed to was the leftmost one in the first row.
Xiao Xiao turned around, her eyes full of doubts. "Why?"
Qianqing said: "Do you know whose three tombstones in the first row belong to them?"
"I don't know, do you know?"
"From left to right, they are, Grandmaster Qingyunzi, former head Tianjizi, and Grandmaster Yulingzi. You will benefit the most from studying the tombstone of Grandmaster Qingyunzi."
"Why?" Xiao Xiao suddenly felt like there were ten thousand question marks popping up in his mind.
Qianqing just smiled lightly and said, "Just believe me."
