Jianchou originally thought that he would follow Wujian into the darkness and get broken headed, but he never expected to see such a vast scene before him.
Fudao Shanren came all the way from the temple gate and went straight to the back of the temple. After crossing the mountain stream, he saw a cave and rushed in without hesitation!
After a brief period of darkness, Jianchou's heartbeat suddenly stopped and he held his breath.
The darkness, which was as thick as a substance, was gradually dispelled by the flowing five-colored light.
Soft, bright, but not dazzling.
It seemed like it was in the belly of a mountain, and at the bottom of the mountain was a pool of water with a radius of one hundred feet.
A steep stone wall rose up in front of them, as if it was cut by a knife, and it was high above the dome of the mountain which was more than 30 feet high.
There are two tightly closed golden doors at the bottom of the stone wall. About ten feet above the doors, there is a huge sphere sunken deep in the stone wall, which takes up one-third of the size of the stone wall!
It was a sphere that was half protruding outwards. It was made of stone and had a bumpy surface, as if there were ancient hollowed-out patterns. Inside, there was a bright white light that was gently rotating, as if it was flowing and rotating within the sphere.
The white light scattered and somehow turned into five colors.
The brilliant light almost took away all of Jianchou's attention.
She was still standing on Wujian, with a whistling sound in her ears, and she was getting closer and closer to the stone gate!
The closer you get, the more you realize how insignificant you are.
brush!
The tip of Wu Jian's sword dropped downward, and Fu Dao Zhenren landed on the ground and stood in front of the huge stone gate.
Jianchou followed him down, and the moment she looked at the stone gate, she realized that she had to crane her neck high to barely see the top of the two golden doors.
Further up, the huge sphere seemed like it was about to fall down at any time, it was extremely thrilling!
Light continued to scatter from the sphere, plunging into the thick darkness around it and suddenly disappearing.
Everyone who saw Jianchou felt terrified.
"Juniors are waiting to meet the hermit!"
In the empty and strange space, the voices of four people talking in unison suddenly rang out.
Jianchou was startled and turned around, only to find that there were two men and two women standing under the cliff. They seemed to have blood on their bodies. At this moment, they all bowed to the Fudaoshan man who was standing beside them.
She couldn't see the expressions on their faces, but she felt that they seemed too respectful.
Fudao Shanren seemed to sense Jianchou's surprise. He held a large sword in one hand and a broken bamboo pole in the other. He turned towards Jianchou and raised his eyebrows proudly.
At that moment, Jianchou, who already knew the character of Fudaoshanren, immediately understood what he meant -
How is it? Isn't the master awesome? Are you scared
Jianchou seemed to have heard what Fudaoshanren said. He couldn't help but twitch his lips, but didn't say anything.
snort.
Little girl.
Fudaoshanren was a little unhappy when he saw Jianchou ignored him, but he couldn't ask the younger generation from other sects to bow for too long, so he turned around and said in a tone, "No need to be polite, everyone, get up, nothing happened while I was away, right?"
The four men then breathed a sigh of relief, put away their stances and raised their heads.
"After we came out of the Hidden Realm, we never went back in. But that evil beast had tried to ram the gate of the Hidden Realm many times, but failed every time."
A clear and gentle voice sounded from the side, with a little bit of lingering fear.
Jianchou looked over and saw that the person who was speaking was the taller of the two female cultivators.
The woman also took the opportunity to glance at Jianchou.
She was wearing a water-blue gauze dress with strange patterns embroidered on the four corners, which looked like two closed windows at first glance. She was thin and slender, with an intoxicating halo when her eyes moved, her lips were fuller and more shiny, and there was a faint sense of exploration in her narrow and long phoenix eyes.
Jianchou felt a little awkward and didn't say anything.
On her left was a male cultivator in a dark red robe, carrying a long sword in a red scabbard. He looked ordinary, with dark brown bloodstains on his body. On the left was the second male cultivator, who had a simple and honest face, thick black eyebrows, eyes as big as copper bells, and a black axe on his shoulder. The fingers of his right hand were covered with new and old scars, and he wore a black metal wrist guard.
Jianchou had no idea what it was made of, but he felt it was heavy at first glance.
Finally, there was a little girl about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a timid look on her face. She was wearing a red dress and had a round face. She was very cute and was blinking her curious eyes at her.
Jianchou also blinked.
The little girl seemed frightened and looked away.
Fudao Mountain Man took in this scene and said without further ado, "There is no time to waste. Delay will lead to changes. You have come all the way here to take the test. Although you overestimated your abilities, it is not your fault. It is all because of your elders who did things without thinking. Since I have seen what happened today, I will not abandon you."
When he said this, the people standing in front of him seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Jianchou felt it was amazing and listened with his ears perked up.
Fu Dao Shanren continued, "The teleportation array requires five people to activate, and now I have found the fifth person. You don't have to continue your trial. You can directly activate the teleportation array and return to the Nineteenth Continent."
"Thank you, mountain man."
The four of them finally put their minds at ease and thanked him in unison.
However, they also became curious about the "fifth person" mentioned by Fudaoshan people.
They had been talking just now, not daring to challenge Fudaoshanren's authority and not looking away. But now, after breathing a sigh of relief, they all looked at Jianchou.
As soon as these gazes fell on him, Jianchou felt uncomfortable all over.
She thought to herself, is it time to introduce myself
The words were already at his throat, but Jianchou was still a little nervous and was about to speak.
Unexpectedly, Fudaoshanren waved at her and said, "Jianchou, come here. I have something to tell you."
See sorrow
Her name is Jianchou
The four of them were listening with their ears pricked up. The young man carrying the sword didn't have any special reaction, but the one carrying the axe smacked his lips, as if he was repeating the name in his mind.
The woman in blue looked at Jianchou for a moment longer, her eyes shifting.
As for the little girl, she seemed to have overcome her fear and looked at Jianchou curiously.
The four of them had the same question in their minds: What is her relationship with Fudaoshanren
It’s a pity that Jianchou doesn’t have the ability to read minds and can’t know what other people are thinking.
When she heard Fudao Shanren calling her, she was surprised and looked at him.
Fudao Shanren walked to the side.
Jianchou had no idea how this huge space in the belly of the mountain was formed. The ground where she was standing now protruded from the deep pool in the belly of the mountain, expanding outward in a semicircle.
The semicircular platform is surrounded by a circle, with its back against the stone wall and facing the surrounding pool of water.
Fudao Shanren walked all the way to the water's edge, some distance away from where the four men were standing.
Jianchou also followed and was about to speak, but he saw Fudaoshanren raise his hand and flick it, and a curtain of light lit up from behind Jianchou, separating the master and disciple from the four people behind them.
"Don't be surprised, it's just isolated from the noise and sight."
If you talk here, those four can't see or hear you.
Jianchou understood, but was puzzled: "Master, do you have anything to tell me?"
"I was worried that something might happen to them, so I was in a hurry to get on with my journey. I didn't have time to tell you many things. This place could be dangerous at any time. I want you to leave with them and go directly through the teleportation array to the Nineteenth Continent. When you get there, you will appear on an island. Don't wander around. Take this thing and wait for me where you are. I will come to find you in two days at most."
As he spoke, Fudao Shanren handed the broken bamboo pole that he always carried with him to Jianchou.
The broken bamboo pole was dirty, with nine sections in total and about four feet long. It must have been tossed around badly by the mountain people, and its green surface seemed to have many white scratches.
It looks ordinary and has no characteristics at all.
Jianchou hesitated for a while, but finally took it and held it in his hand.
"Thank you, Master."
"You have also read the 'All Things Are One Method' that I gave you. It contains the most basic methods of controlling magic weapons. You have an outstanding talent, so you can just learn from it and use it to scare people. It's just a matter of teleporting over there, so there probably won't be any danger."
As Fudao Shanren spoke, he glanced at the huge gate that was completely motionless, and there was a deep fear in his eyes.
"But the Nineteen Continents is a place for cultivation, and these four people are not from my Yashan monks. After all, people's hearts are hard to predict. Master thinks the man carrying the axe looks like a fool, easy to deceive, but maybe he can be trusted at a critical moment."
People are evil
Why…
A little different from what you thought
Jianchou held the broken bamboo pole in both hands and nodded. His impression of the man carrying the axe was consistent with that of Fudaoshanren.
"I think so too. By the way, Master, does this broken bamboo pole of yours have a name?"
"… "
Broken bamboo pole? !
Fudaoshanren was almost irritated by her!
"Do you know how precious this thing is? This is the nine-section bamboo I cut from the South China Sea! Do you know how many people cry but can't even get half of it?! And a broken bamboo pole? Don't hold it, give it back to me!"
“No, no, no!”
Seeing that this unreliable master was actually trying to take back the broken bamboo pole, Jianchou was extremely surprised and hurriedly protected it.
"Master, you have given me everything. How can you take it back? Thank you for the reward, Master!"
"You're smart!"
Seeing that she had finally behaved herself, Fudao Shanren felt relieved.
I thought there were a lot of things to explain, but when I think about it, there is nothing much to explain except this broken bamboo pole. As long as Jianchou still has some brains, nothing should happen to him when he gets there.
If he could solve the problems in the hidden world of Qingfeng Temple as soon as possible, he could return to the Nineteen Continents to report.
So, Fudao Shanren stretched out his hand, removed the light curtain, and walked back towards the four people with Jianchou.
The four of them all looked at Jianchou, or rather the broken bamboo pole in her hand.
The little girl blinked her eyes, the man with the sword on his back remained silent, the man with the axe widened his eyes, somewhat unable to believe it, and the woman in blue's eyes twitched wildly and she had a slight twitch.
She hesitated and looked at Jianchou for a long time before she said to Fudao Shanren: "Shanren, this is the fifth person you found, right? Please forgive Lan'er for being rude. I don't know your name or your master's school."
Fudaoshanren raised his eyebrows, glanced at her, and then looked at Jianchou.
Seeing sorrow, I understand.
She held the long green nine-section bamboo, took a half step forward, clasped her hands together and clasped them in front of her, while lowering her head slightly with a faint smile.
"Under Yashan Gate, I see sorrow."
