Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 11: The old man under the willow tree

Views:

Before leaving, Qiu Shuijing told him that education was monopolized by the gentry, and it would be impossible for scholars from poor families to catch up with the children of the gentry through official schools.

Qiu Shuijing told him to be wild.

A wildness that the children of noble families do not possess!

When you enter that wonderful world from the Heavenly Gate, although you may be attacked by the immortal sword, as long as you are well prepared, you can reach the immortal picture before the immortal sword attacks and get the skills you want!

Even though there is a risk to one's life, isn't this exactly what Mr. Shuijing meant by wildness

The question now is, how can we open the gate of heaven again and enter that world

"The key to opening the gate of heaven lies on the eight-sided tower facing the sky."

Su Yun fell into deep thought, thinking: "The Eight-sided Sky Tower absorbed my energy, then flew out to the various mythical beasts on the Sky Tower and landed on the Heavenly Gate. Perhaps I only need to use my own energy to stimulate the Eight-sided Sky Tower again, then I can open the Heavenly Gate and enter that world."

He did not try immediately. The world behind the Heavenly Gate was mysterious and unpredictable. The magic sword might not have gone far. He had already obtained the more advanced Crocodile Dragon Roar, so there was no need for him to enter the Heavenly Gate again.

"Brother Hua, your left shoulder is one inch higher."

Outside Huqiu Village, the flower fox and the three little foxes were practicing diligently. Their bodies were like crocodile dragons, and they practiced the six moves of Crocodile Dragon Roar over and over again.

Su Yun stood aside. Although the young man could not see, he seemed to be able to see their movements and gave instructions from time to time.

"Xiao Fan, your waist muscles were too rigid when you were practicing the dragon form. Remember, don't use your waist muscles to generate power, but use your spine to generate power."

"Qingqiu Yue, your Crocodile Dragon Out of the Abyss lacks momentum, it's so limp and doesn't seem ferocious at all!"

Nearly twenty days have passed since he escaped from Tianmen. During this time, he taught Huahu and the others the four great thunder sounds of the Crocodile Dragon Roar, using the excuse that it was Qiu Shuijing who taught them.

As for the fact that he opened the Heavenly Gate and his soul ascended to another world, he did not intend to tell Hua Hu.

After all, this matter is too bizarre, and it contains many terrifying secrets that make people tremble.

For example, why did Qu Bo's body die in that world? Why did he risk his life to steal that strange picture

Why can that strange picture complete the exercises and even surpass the original ones

And where did that magic sword come from

If these strange things were to spread, it might not be a good thing for Su Yun and the others.

"As for the world behind the door and the map, fewer and fewer people know about it. Second Brother Hua and the others don't know about this, but instead they are protecting them." Su Yun carefully sensed the actions of Hua Hu and the others, cultivated his own Qi perception, and said secretly in his heart.

Although he is not very old, he has lived alone for many years, which gives him a meticulous thinking that his peers do not have.

When people stop seeing, they will think more.

Treasures will arouse people's greed, especially treasures like the fairy map.

During these ten days, Hua Hu also achieved the second level of Crocodile Dragon Roar, and Li Xiaofan, Hu Buping and Qingqiu Yue also successfully achieved the first level of Crocodile Dragon Roar.

In the first part of Honglu Transmutation, Huahu successfully cultivated to the third level, and the other three little foxes also cultivated to the second level respectively, making rapid progress.

It was precisely because of the four great thunder sounds taught to them by Su Yun that their progress was so rapid.

As for Su Yun himself, his progress during this period of time is even more amazing!

Su Yun's vitality cultivation is becoming more and more profound. He has already cultivated to the peak of the third level in the first part of the Honglu Transmutation, and is showing a tendency to enter the fourth level.

The first stage of the first part of the Honglu Transmutation is to use oneself as the heaven and earth and ignite the Honglu in the body.

The sign of achieving the second level is that the furnace flame has two colors. The first layer is purple, and the second layer is red, so it is also called the double flame.

In the third stage of Honglu's transformation, there is an additional flame in the furnace, an orange flame.

On the fourth level, there is an additional layer of yellow fire.

There is an additional layer of white fire on the fifth level.

There is an additional layer of blue fire on the sixth level.

After completing the sixth level of Honglu Transmutation, one can enter the Yuandong realm.

Su Yun once saw with his own eyes the divine crocodile transcending tribulation. The crocodile dragon he visualized was more real, more powerful, and more shocking than Huahu and the others, so his cultivation speed was also faster.

He is now activating the transformation of the furnace. The fire in the furnace has three levels of flames. When he practices, his vitality will increase even faster!

However, even though Su Yun had mastered the six moves of Crocodile Dragon Roar to perfection, a sword shadow always appeared in his mind.

That was the sword that killed the divine crocodile that was undergoing tribulation!

That sword directly broke the six moves of the Crocodile Dragon's Roar and killed the Crocodile Dragon. The shock it gave Su Yun was even greater than the Divine Crocodile's tribulation!

The sword kept appearing in his mind again and again, and could not be shaken off.

Every time he made further progress in his cultivation, the shadow of the sword would always reappear and torment his soul. It seemed as if a voice was telling him that no matter how perfectly he practiced the Six Moves of Crocodile Dragon Roar, he could not escape this sword!

Sometimes, Su Yun would even wake up suddenly from his sleep, dreaming that when he was performing the Crocodile Dragon Roar, his head was suddenly chopped off by a sword!

"Mr. Shui Jing said that the first part of Honglu Transmutation is a foundation-building technique with only six levels. If you practice to the sixth level, you will be considered to have successfully built your foundation. Then, I will be able to force away the sword shadow in my eyes."

Su Yun thought to himself: "Tomorrow I will be able to cultivate to the third level of Honglu Transmutation. By the end of the year, I will definitely be able to cultivate to the sixth level!"

His mood gradually stabilized and he no longer thought about the magic sword.

Qiu Shuijing told him that building the foundation was a hurdle for him. Once he passed this hurdle, his eyes would be healed, and then he could cultivate his spiritual nature and spiritual supernatural powers like a normal person.

But Su Yun never thought that Qiu Shuijing was hiding something from him.

Qiu Shuijing did not tell him that he had actually already cultivated spiritual supernatural powers.

Huang Zhong is his spiritual power, but when he cultivated Huang Zhong, not only did he not cultivate it to the Yuan Dong and Yun Ling realms, he didn't even build a foundation!

This is exactly the reason why Qiu Shuijing values him.

A young blind man lived for six years in Tianshiyuan, a place full of monsters, and in Tianmen Town, where there were no living people except himself. Moreover, he relied on his strong willpower to visualize his own spiritual supernatural powers in six years!

Not to mention talent, this kind of perseverance alone is rare in the world!

As the sky gradually darkened and the sun was about to set, Huahu and the three little foxes were tired from practicing and stopped to rest. Su Yun said to Huahu, "Brother Hua, there is a night market in Tianshiyuan tonight. We can't miss it. Do you want to go to the night market with me?"

The spotted fox and the three little foxes shivered several times and shook their heads in panic.

Qingqiu Yue stood up like a squirrel and waved her fox tail: "Brother Xiaoyun, we won't go!"

"That's fine. There's nothing fun to do at the night market. People rarely talk."

Su Yun thought for a moment and invited again: "Huqiu Village has been destroyed. Why don't you move to Tianmen Town and live with me so that we can take care of each other."

The three little foxes turned to look at the flower fox, and the flower fox quickly shook his head to refuse.

Su Yun left alone dejectedly and returned to Tianmen Town.

The four fox demons stood up and watched the blind young man leave in the night. Li Xiaofan hesitated and said, "Second brother, are we really not going to tell Brother Xiaoyun that he is the only human in Tianmen Town?"

Huahu shook his head and said, "Mr. Yehu once told us not to tell Xiaoyun the truth about Tianmen Town. During the few days that Mr. Shuijing came, he didn't tell him the truth about Tianmen Town. The truth is too cruel. If we tell him, he may not be able to accept it. It's better to let him slowly discover it himself."

The three little foxes nodded silently.

Seeing Su Yun walking forward alone, Hua Hu felt even more lonely. He couldn't help but feel soft-hearted and chased after Su Yun, saying, "You three stay in the village. I'll accompany Xiao Yun to the ghost... Ugh, to the night market!"

The three little foxes stood on tiptoe to look around. Hu Buping asked, "Do you think Brother Hua will be eaten by ghosts?"

The other two little foxes glared at him fiercely. Hu Buping quickly tucked his tail between his legs and said with a smile, "I was just kidding!"

"Brother Hua, let's go back to Tianmen Town first!"

Su Yun and Hua Hu walked through Huang Village and around the Snake Stream. Su Yun was very excited and suggested, "I have some treasures at home. Let's take them to the night market. If we can't sell them, we can go around the night market. I haven't been to the night market yet, maybe I can buy some good things."

Huahu's face turned pale, and he tried to keep his voice calm: "Xiaoyun, what good things can you have at home? Let's not go to that damn... Tianmen Town, let's go directly to the night market."

Su Yun thought for a moment and said with a smile, "I have been setting up a stall for the past few years, but I really haven't sold a single thing. I guess the things in my house are really not good. Well, let's go directly to the night market!"

He pointed forward: "Brother, the house under the willow tree in front is Uncle Cen's house! Uncle Cen is a very good person. He is always waiting for me at this time! Can you see him?"

Flower Fox looked from afar and saw only a small desolate grave under the crooked willow tree. Apart from that, there was an old man with his neck hanging under the willow tree. The wind blew, and the old man's limbs hung down, and his body swayed.

“I can see…” The fox chattered its teeth, hugged its tail tightly, and staggered behind Su Yun.

"Uncle Cen, Uncle Cen!"

Su Yun called from afar: "I brought a friend!"

The flower fox stuffed its tail into its mouth to prevent itself from making any noise, and followed Su Yun with one foot high and one foot low, thinking to itself: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I am a monster, monsters are not afraid of ghosts and gods..."

A crescent moon appeared in the night sky, and the moonlight was dim. Huahu saw from afar that the old man hanging under the crooked willow tree took his neck out of the rope and landed lightly on the small grave mound below without making any sound.

The fox felt scared and followed Su Yun to the willow tree.

Although Su Yun couldn't see, he seemed to see the old man sitting on the grave. He bowed and said, "Uncle Cen."

Cen Bo's eyes flashed with a faint green light in the night as he stared at the flower fox behind Su Yun, like a will-o'-the-wisp in a cemetery.

The spotted fox held its tail and bit the tip of its tail so hard that it almost fainted.

"It's Xiaoyun."

Cen Bo's voice was cold and indifferent, and he said indifferently: "You came a little late today. If you come, why bring a gift..."

Boom.

The spotted fox fell on its back, unconscious, but was still holding its tail and its limbs were twitching.
