Along the stone steps that appear and disappear in the ice and snow, Ku He, who was still a young man, and Xiao En, who was full of shock, began to climb up the Daxue Mountain. The change on their faces was finally no longer frozen by the snowstorm. And it changes into an extremely complex expression, excitement, relief, tension, excitement, and faint fear.
There is no fear on Ku He's face, but only incomparable fanaticism. He is an ascetic monk. He has longed all his life to be able to touch the gate of the temple with his own hands, and to gently kowtow on the stone steps in front of the temple with his forehead.
The huge universe on the Daxue Mountain looked very close, but when the two tried to get close to it, they realized that the temple was an extremely distant existence. After climbing for a long time, they even felt that they were getting farther and farther away from that temple. The majestic stone wall is like an ethereal shadow that may disappear in the snow-capped mountains at any time.
According to legend, the temple will only appear twice a year. Ku He and Xiao En were unwilling to give up this opportunity, so they used all their strength to climb up the Snowy Mountain. It was the opening made by the ice edge, dripping with blood, and two faint lines of blood were drawn on the snow.
…
…
With a snap, Ku He's palm finally touched the stone steps in front of the temple, and the young ascetic could not help but pat twice presumptuously, expressing his inner ecstasy and unspeakable excitement.
Sean was a little slower than him, he secretly held the hidden weapon in his sleeve, and looked at the main entrance of the temple with a hint of horror. This door is seven feet high, like a book thrown by the gods in the world. The door of the Great Wei Palace looks like a miniature version of the door of the temple, which is far less magnificent than the temple. Not a place where mortals live.
The stone walls of the temple are covered with dust, and no one should have visited this most mysterious place in the world for many years.
Xiao En swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and was about to find a way to enter the temple. He had a heavy responsibility on his majesty's shoulders, asking for the magic formula of immortality. Seeing that success was imminent, he was naturally a little excited. But Ku He was different from him, kneeling devoutly in front of the temple, kowtowing continuously, blood gradually oozing from his forehead.
He walked towards the temple gate and stretched out his hand, but he couldn't touch the giant gate. It seemed that as his fingertips stretched forward, the giant gate was retreating in a weird way.
The temple is close in sight, but far away in the sky.
※※※
Thirty years later, in the cave, the eyes of the dying Xiao En showed a trace of sadness.
"I couldn't get in."
Fan Xian let go of his tightly clenched hands, and said softly, "This is conceivable, otherwise the four great masters should become the five great masters."
"Ku He is stronger than me. Even if I have his luck, I can't step into the realm of the Grand Master." Xiao En shook his head: "But Ku He couldn't get in either. There seems to be a mysterious power protecting the temple. So, back then, Ku He and I were the strongest fighters in the world, but there was no way to enter."
Fan Xian came to his senses. Among the secrets of the world, Teacher Fei Jie once mentioned that Ku He had knelt on the bluestone steps in front of the temple for a long time before he had the strength to dominate one side. It seems that this rumor There is indeed some truth to it. He frowned suddenly, and asked, "What exactly is a temple?"
Xiao En couldn't give an answer to this question, and the old man said helplessly: "There is a large plaque at the main entrance of the temple, but it is very old, and I can't see what is written on it. I guess it should be left by the heavens for the world." runes."
Fan Xian's heart trembled slightly, and he asked, "What kind of symbol?"
Sean looked at the excited Fan Xian, his brows twitched, and he seemed to feel that this young man had such a strong curiosity about unknown things when he was about to die, and he developed a little interest.
"It's a word not..." The old man stretched out his finger with some difficulty, and gestured in the air.
Fan Xian understood immediately, and said to himself, "Don't use Qianlong?" As soon as the words came out, he laughed.
"There are three identical runes." Sean continued, drawing two circular arcs with his fingers up and down in the air, and his fingertips pierced through the air, making people feel mysterious.
Fan Xian was slightly taken aback, knowing that he couldn't find anything from such a simple rune. Does the temple have anything to do with his rebirth? Does it have anything to do with mom? It seems that I have to wait for myself to discover it in the future, but I don't necessarily have the good luck of Ku He and Xiao En to survive the long polar night.
"I think the story should not have such a simple end."
Sean coughed twice: "That's right... When a goal you've been chasing so hard for is close in front of you but you can never reach it, you will always feel extremely unwilling."
"Ku He knelt on the stone steps in front of the temple devoutly, but I started to walk slowly towards the high wall on the side of the mountain."
The night outside the cave shrouded the two of them. There was no fire, so there was no light. Sean's indifferent voice narrated the events decades ago, which seemed extremely strange. Fan Xian suddenly said softly, "Are you looking for a sewer?"
Sean glanced at the figure of the young man at the entrance of the cave, and said, "You are also a colleague, so of course you know what I will do at that time."
"You can't even get close to the wall... How could you get into the temple through the sewer? Besides..." Fan Xian frowned. "It's not necessarily true that such a sacred place left by the heavens will have a sewer."
"That's why I failed." Sean said bluntly: "Thinking about it now, I was so daring at that time. Facing the temple, I still thought about these earthly methods."
"and after?"
"Later..." Sean fell into a very weird mood, "Later I walked back to the main entrance of the temple, only to find that Ku He was carrying something in his arms. I was a little curious, and when I was about to ask a question, this when… "
The old man's speech slowed down, and Fan Xian's heart ached.
"The door of the temple... is open."
"Ah?" Subconsciously, Fan Xian moved closer to Sean, as if he wanted to protect this guy from thirty years ago.
There was a ridiculous smile in Xiao En's eyes, and he said in a hissed voice: "The door of the temple opened quietly, I was overjoyed and was about to go in, but suddenly ran out from the biggest door in the world A most wonderful man."
"The most wonderful person?"
"Yeah, that's a little fairy."
※※※
Xiao En stood stupidly outside the gate of the temple, watching a little girl rush into his arms, almost vomited out a mouthful of blood, but from the corner of his eye, he saw Ku He rushing to the gate of the temple like a tiger, Fighting with a black light in the temple.
The young Ku He is already the youngest Ninth-Rank Master in the world. At this time, he did not know what stimulated him to fully exert the ability in his body to the peak, and he was actually entangled with the mysterious black shadow in the temple. At this place, the energy is rushing everywhere, and the mountains and snow are in chaos.
After a few breaths, Xiao En remembered that there was a little girl in his arms, and it was not his turn to react, so he heard the little girl shout to Ku He on the bluestone steps: "Back!"
A very simple word, said from this little girl's mouth, but like a generation of emperors, unquestionable, that kind of natural power made Xiao En's heart tremble, and then he was slapped on the face, slap a sound.
"You retreat too!"
…
…
Ku He drifted away, Xiao En hugged the little girl and rolled down the stone steps in embarrassment, ten feet away from the main entrance of the temple.
The black light retracted into the temple with a bang, and did not pursue it. Xiao En looked at the huge door with lingering fear at this time, thinking that there seemed to be a figure in the black light, he couldn't help being frightened—because Ku He had already vomited blood and fell beside him at this time, and even Ku He was not a part of the other party. The enemy of unity, the people in this temple really cannot be viewed with the eyes of mortals.
He woke up very quickly. It must be that when he was looking for the sewer just now, Ku He, who was kneeling on the bluestone steps, made some kind of agreement with the little girl in his arms to help her escape from the temple.
It's just... who is this little girl
"Hold me, pull him, and go."
The little girl seemed a little afraid of the cold, so she buried her face in Sean's arms and gave orders. Sean didn't dare to neglect, grabbed Ku He's collar with one hand, and ran down the Daxue Mountain.
After running for an unknown amount of time, he finally ran back to his tent. He didn't come back to his senses until he sat in the tent out of breath. Why do you want to run? The elixir of life requested by His Majesty has not yet been obtained, why do I listen to this little girl so much? And it's strange that the immortals in the temple didn't chase after themselves.
Sean turned around and saw the little girl squatting halfway, pinching her nose, looking at the leftover human bones in the corner of the tent.
"What a pitiful and hateful human being." The little girl turned around and looked at Sean. It wasn't until this moment that Sean saw her appearance clearly.
Clear as water, pure as snow, eyes like stars, not the stunning beauty that mortals should have.
…
…
In the dark cave, Fan Xian's expression was invisible, but his voice was a little strange: "How old is that little girl?"
"Four years old, at most four years old." Sean opened his eyes, and seemed to be able to see that clean and beautiful face, "When I held her in my arms, it felt as if she was so light that she didn't exist. "
Fan Xian was a little perplexed and said, "You're also four years old?"
"Why do you say that?"
"It's nothing." Fan Xian smiled, his eyes lit up, "Do you know who that little girl is?"
Xiao En said very confidently: "Of course I know, she is a little fairy who ran out of the temple because she is greedy for the world of mortals!"
Fan Xian laughed, stretched out his finger and shook it: "Believe me, she's just a... little girl who went to the temple to steal things."
