The huge sea of clouds seems to have no boundaries, and the clouds and mists are extremely thick, so I can't see what is inside? It is thousands of feet away from the ground, as if a god is tall and looking down at all.
There is a huge pressure in the floating sea of clouds, and even walking under the clouds requires a strong magic power to support them. The edges of the clouds are constantly surging, just like a murderous thing hidden in the world, constantly tearing,
I want to rush out of the cloud group's package and be reborn.
The closer you get to the clouds, the more desolate the ground is, and no grass grows. Below the clouds are full of wasteland, hundreds of miles wide, and the vitality is forbidden on it, and no trace of the breath of living creatures can be sensed.
On the dark brown ground, facing the direction Zhu Jiu and others walked over, a quaint bluestone platform stood. The stone platform was about the size of a mile and was over 100 meters high, giving people a sense of desolation, solemnity, and heavy depression.
.
At this time, the group had arrived more than 100 meters away from the stone platform, and there was a staircase under the stone platform leading directly above the stone platform.
The entire stone platform and the stone steps are undecorated, square and extremely simple. It seems that they are just made to climb to the top of the stone platform, so they do not need exquisite carving. It also seems that time is in a hurry, and when the stone platform is not finished
The work was over hastily, which made the stone platform seem incomplete, as if the later finishing steps were missing.
The team came to the ancient stone steps and climbed up the steps without stopping.
Zhu Jiu used a secret force at his feet as he stepped up the stairs. He wanted to try the solidity of the stairs, but he didn't expect to exert a little force, and the stairs suddenly cracked and a crack broke out.
The Yaksha Ghost Clan warrior next to him said softly when he saw Zhu Jiu's actions:
"There is one such stone platform in each of the three directions of this wasteland, as if it was specially set up for our three major races, one clan. There is a mysterious formation rune inside the stone platform, although you can
It is easily destroyed, but soon after, the damaged position will be repaired by mysterious power, slowly returning to its previous appearance. Even if the stone platform is completely destroyed, it will absorb strength to repair itself, and eventually become
As it is, you don't have to waste your energy."
Zhu Jiu nodded without saying a word, followed everyone to the top of the stone platform. There was still no fancy decoration above the stone platform, just a simple platform, with only a raised base in the middle of the large stone platform, which was slightly different.
.
After everyone took the stage, they walked towards the base in the center, and no one spoke during this process.
The raised ground of the bluestone base is one person tall, more than ten meters in size, and is square. It seems to have nothing special except spotless.
Zhu Jiu watched quietly. At this time, the leader of the ghost clan, the high priest, who was called the old charlatan by Zhu Jiuan, sighed softly, walked to the bluestone base, and slowly took the one from his wrist.
The inner space is full of bone bracelets with treasures.
The old guy looked reluctant, but he still took things out of the bracelet one by one and placed them on a stone platform like a pedestal.
Every time he put something on the stone platform, many small and trivial blue symbols suddenly burst out from the stage. These symbols were wrapped around the things placed on the stage, and then the light flashed, wrapping the things sacrificed on the stone platform.
Disappear without a trace.
Every time I see the light flashing on the stone platform disappearing, the old guy standing on the edge of the stone platform and putting things on the stage will mumble, and the corners of his eyes twitch slightly, which seems to be something that I am very reluctant to sacrifice.
After taking out the things and putting them on them many times, the old guy seemed to be getting more and more angry. He put something up and kept cursing, putting something and cursing the ghost tribe, and his mouth flew everywhere!
Later, there were constant swearing and cursing, and the light on the stone platform illuminated continuously.
When the old man's face turned pale and even his hands that were putting sacrifice items on the stone platform trembled slightly, the green light symbol that absorbed the treasure was becoming brighter and brighter, gradually forming a cylindrical light that extended towards the sky
Go, echoing the gradually growing sea of clouds that cover the entire sky.
Zhu Jiu was always staring at the treasures that the old guy kept taking out of his bracelet. Seeing the mysterious changes in the huge clouds in the sky, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. There were several things in the old guy's bracelet for Zhu Jiu.
Although the things that I covet may not be able to get by the old guy, I am not much better than offering sacrifices than offerings. Fortunately, I have never seen these things sacrificed.
At this time, the violently churning clouds in the sky and the cylindrical light on the stone platform below were finally connected together. The clouds rumbled and rumbling, and the edges began to churn and change, and finally condensed into a stepped form composed of clouds and mist, extending downwards.
The clouds and mist accumulate thicker and denser, and the steps that extend down become clearer and more solid. Finally, the steps extend thousands of feet long, falling from the sky across the void, and the edges of the steps are steadily set.
On the stone platform where everyone was standing.
Just as the stairs falling from the sky and the stone platform were in contact with each other, a huge thunder suddenly erupted in the distant sky, and raindrops as big as beans fell all over the sky. For some reason, there was a sad aura filled the world.
Seeing that the stairs in the sky were finally connected to the stone platform, the old man from the ghost tribe breathed a light tone and immediately put away the bone bracelet in his hand. It seemed that there was still some inventory in it. Zhu Jiu took a quick look and saw the old man put it in.
The bracelet was put on the wrist again.
The old guy turned around and said to Zhu Jiu and others:
"We have to walk up the ladder. The ancient sacred mountain is in the sea of clouds at the end of the ladder. According to past experience, we may face dangers from the beginning of climbing the ladder, but not every time, sometimes all the way.
If you are in a turbulent way, you can reach the top of the sea of clouds. Sometimes you will be attacked as soon as you step on the stairs."
The old guy turned to look at Zhu Jiu and another couple, and said with a smile:
"The dangers that are about to be faced are particularly dangerous for those living on this land, so three people need to be cleared out, and who will take the lead?"
The two men and women looked at each other, then turned their eyes to Zhu Jiu together, which contained a bit of threat, obviously trying to let Zhu Jiu take the lead and walk in the front.
When Zhu Jiu saw the two of them, he smiled and said:
"The three of us have already drawn lots. When we reach the foot of the sacred mountain in the sea of clouds, it is the end of the first section. We will draw again to decide who will lead the way in the second stage, and so on. If you are not lucky, you will draw the lead lottery every time.
Then I admit it, and I will never deny it, how about it?"
The other two looked at each other, and there was no other way. They both nodded in agreement. The ghost clan elders were supervised. The result of the lottery was that Zhu Jiuzhao led the way. The man and woman immediately looked over gloating.
Zhu Jiu already knew that the man among them was surnamed Zhao and the woman was surnamed Wu. He didn't care about the annoying faces of the two. He took big steps and walked directly towards the falling ladder.
The man and woman smiled proudly and followed Zhu Jiu and walked towards the stairs with the other soldiers. Zhu Jiu seemed very careful. Before he stepped on the stairs, he summoned the sea of consciousness talisman and hung it above his head. Then he took the first step.
.
There was no abnormality afterwards. Zhu Jiu took more than ten steps in succession, but no crisis occurred. His pace became faster and faster, and there was no attack or other dangers.
Those who climb the ladder are very careful and no one speaks.
Although the stairs are long, there is always an end. Zhu Jiu is ahead and never encounters any danger. After climbing more than 10,000 steps, the end of the stairs is already far away.
When Zhu Jiu was the first to step over the last step, step to the top of the ladder, and look up, the clouds and mist have gradually become thinner and you can vaguely see. There is a tall peak in front of you that seems to be able to penetrate the nine heavens.
[I love Buddha's book" and 'Mountain-Ghost' were filled with joy and praise, haha!]
