Xu Tonghui himself didn't seem to be sitting by the official road anymore. He seemed to have reached the middle of the big stone, and then was standing on the stone steps.
The sky and the earth are vast, just like what is shown in the painting.
It was neither day nor night, and the scenery could be clearly seen, but it was all dim and dim. Xu Tonghui stood on the stone steps, completely at a loss.
Looking forward, his vision was blocked by the stone steps. He raised his head and looked upward as much as possible, but he only saw more stone steps. He turned his head and looked back. In his field of vision, there were still stone steps extending downward step by step.
level.
The left and right sides seemed to be empty space.
The stone steps extend in this void.
At this moment, Xu Tonghui felt a chill coming from his body. It was not wind, but something thin and mist-like, falling from the top of his head.
It doesn't just fall on him.
Instead, the space between heaven and earth is filled with mist. They come from the endless place above the stone steps and go to the endless place below the stone steps.
In a daze, I seemed to hear the sound of running water, but it seemed that it was just the mist flowing.
Xu Tonghui subconsciously turned his head and looked back again, looking in the direction in which the mist was flowing, but suddenly he saw below the scene that made his scalp numb and frightened. The stone steps that seemed to extend to an endless distance were beginning to collapse in large areas.
And the collapse was spreading towards the place where he was standing!
Xu Tonghui's whole body was covered with hair and thorns. Perhaps to use that word, it was "creepy." An extremely cold chill instantly penetrated his entire body from head to toe and through his spine.
Xu Tonghui's whole body was chilled, as if he had been thrown into an extremely cold ice cave, but at the same time, his heart was beating rapidly, and power began to surge and boil in his body to break the cold and
sluggish.
Finally able to move, the next moment, Xu Tonghui started walking up.
He wanted to run, but he couldn't. His legs were not only weak, but also weak. A heavy force suppressed him, making it difficult for him to even lift his feet.
So, he had to bend down and use his hands and feet to climb up with all his strength.
During this climb, I climbed to the point of exerting all my strength. My arms and legs, including my whole body, seemed to be no longer my own, and I couldn't move at all.
That's actually not entirely correct, because he could still turn his head, but when he turned his head and looked back again, his eyes suddenly widened sharply.
Upon entering his eyes, the stone steps he was on completely collapsed, and Xu Tonghui fell into the endless void together with the stone steps.
"ah!"
Xu Tonghui yelled wildly, but perhaps all his energy had been consumed by the desperate running before, so this soulless roar was just a low hiss that did not even reach his throat.
It's like a person who is extremely sleepy, nodding off from time to time, but suddenly gets a panic attack.
The person is completely awake.
Not sleepy anymore.
The illusion disappeared, and Xu Tonghui completely emerged from the trance.
Then, he realized that he was still sitting on the edge of the official road.
There are no stone steps, no endless stone steps, no stone steps reaching to the sky, no stone steps that are collapsing in large areas.
However, he did seem to have lost all his strength.
It seems that he did go through a desperate escape.
Because my whole body was covered in sweat, as if I had just escaped from the flood.
"What happened just now?"
Xu Tonghui couldn't understand it at all.
"Am I... having a nightmare?"
But I didn’t sleep either!
Confused by the illusion just now, and also confused by his current situation, Xu Tonghui subconsciously started to get lucky.
m
Even an ordinary person will feel uneasy about being in such a situation and will try to regain his strength as much as possible and as soon as possible, at least to regain part of his strength.
What’s more, it’s a cultivator?
Xu Tonghui instinctively activated the Qi Condensation Technique taught by his family.
But suddenly I realized something was wrong.
like……
Under the guidance of the Qi Condensation Technique, Qi and blood slowly circulated in the body. Xu Tonghui's previous panic and anxiety also slowly disappeared. Gradually, he began to immerse himself in the world of Qi and blood circulation.
But coincidentally, in this state where he should be very attentive, that sentence naturally appeared in his consciousness.
"The distant fragrance invades the ancient road, and the clear dew covers the stone steps."
The smells of the big trees and wild grasses that he was already somewhat familiar with gradually became stronger, and gradually seemed to change from invisible to tangible, becoming something like mist or water.
Then, it becomes "clear dew".
They are like drizzle, coming from far to near, from top to bottom.
Falling, spreading, and spreading.
What is diffuse is not the stone steps, but Xu Tonghui's body.
Xu Tonghui was immediately immersed in such a world.
His body, his consciousness, and his spirit all tried to "let go" as much as possible, trying to let the drops of clear dew pass through unimpeded, giving him cool moisture and seemingly meticulous washing.
In this process, the circulation of qi and blood unconsciously becomes lively and lively...
When Xu Tonghui opened his eyes from the calmness of his body and mind, he found that it was already bright. When he stood up inexplicably, Xu Tonghui suddenly realized that the whole world seemed to be different.
The morning breeze blew gently through the wilderness and around him.
On the big tree not far away, the chirping of birds was very sweet. Xu Tonghui had never experienced that the chirping of birds was so beautiful!
Near where he was sitting, there were a few small grasses that could barely be regarded as a "clump". At this moment, these small grasses seemed to be full of energy, and the drops of dew were showing a quiet but moving world.
Speaking of silence, the grass is still and most of the dew is also still.
Speaking of which, an occasional drop or two of dew suddenly slipped from the tip of the leaf, causing the entire leaf to move gracefully.
Xu Tonghui was stunned.
He had never noticed before that the grass everywhere was so beautiful, and against the backdrop of the dew, these grasses seemed to become so... clear.
Yes, it is clear.
Clean and refreshing.
It's not just grass.
It's like the heaven and earth you hear in your ears, the heaven and earth you see with your eyes, and even the heaven and earth you smell in your nose seem to have been completely washed.
call!
Xu Tonghui exhaled slowly.
A long exhale and a long inhale.
Then in the process, he discovered that even he himself seemed to have become much more refreshing!
It was a wonderful but indescribable feeling.
but!
He clearly and clearly felt another difference!
His Qi Condensation cultivation seems to have... improved a bit?
No!
Not at all!
That’s a lot!
Xu Tonghui thought it was his illusion. How could this be possible?
Then, he instinctively used the Qi Condensation Technique, and then, he felt a wonderful flow.
