Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 38: Wen Sheng Gong Temple

Views:

Su Yun continued walking forward while flipping through the Immortal Ape Cultivation Chapter. He couldn't help but think of his experience in the other world behind Tianmen. He felt a sense of pride in his heart: "Then I will be the teacher and teach you the Immortal Ape Cultivation Chapter."

Several little foxes looked worried.

Sir, not everyone can do this.

If one has a wrong understanding of the martial arts, not only will he practice it incorrectly, but it will also be passed on to scholars, causing great harm!

However, Hua Hu and the others also understood Su Yun's meaning. Yuan Jialing would find Yuan Wu's body sooner or later and would definitely chase after him.

Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle. Now that you know Yuan Jialing's skills, you will be prepared for any eventuality!

There was snow on the road ahead, making it very difficult to walk on. Su Yun dressed neatly and waded through the snow with Hua Hu and others. After walking a few miles, they were exhausted and out of breath.

The snow was up to the waist, and when they walked, they couldn't see Hua Hu, Qing Qiu Yue and the others at all.

And it started snowing again.

It was a sunny day just now, but now it is snowing heavily. What’s worse is that the sky is getting darker and darker.

"When it snows, we don't have to worry about being caught up."

Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief, took out the magic rope and threw it into the air. Four little kids in the snow jumped up, grabbed the rope, and were taken into the sky.

Su Yun also grabbed the rope and came into the air.

The magic rope is an amazing treasure, but the key is how to use this treasure. He has only figured out one way to use it: throwing the rope into the air.

This rope can take them out of the rope area - the rope flies high into the sky and spreads forward.

When the rope is shortened, it is just a hanging rope, no longer than seven feet, barely enough to hang on a tree and put a person on it, but when it is extended, it is seven hundred feet. Therefore, the distance of one rope is seven hundred feet.

Su Yun and others stepped on the rope and walked forward a distance of seven hundred feet before grabbing the rope end and sliding down along the rope.

It was colder at high altitudes, and they were so cold that they could hardly hold on to the ropes. Qingqiu Yue almost fell down, but fortunately Su Yun caught her.

When everyone landed, Su Yun said in a deep voice: "It's snowing heavily, and it's still snowing. The sky is gloomy. The ape monsters in Yuanjialing will definitely not be able to find our footprints!"

They continued to move forward in the wind and snow. The fox was dissatisfied that he walked too slowly after turning into a human, so he took off his clothes and packed them into his bag, then turned back into a fox.

But the little fox demon hid in the snow for a while, then turned back into a little demon child and put on his clothes silently.

Li Xiaofan asked quietly. Hu Buping was silent for a moment before saying, "It's cold. My butt and ears are frozen."

Flower Fox joked: "It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality. I didn't wear any clothes in winter before, but now I can hardly take them off after putting them on."

After walking another six or seven miles, the sky became increasingly darker. Su Yun was tall, and looking around, he saw a door lintel that was weighed down in the darkness of the wind and snow.

The temple was covered with snow. From a distance, only the snow-white roof could be seen, which was the same color as the surrounding area. There was no snow on the lintel, so it could be barely recognized.

They walked towards the temple in the wind and snow. When they arrived, Su Yun looked up, but the words on the plaque were covered with snow and were difficult to make out.

He opened his mouth and blew a breath, and the snow on the plaque flew up, revealing the three words "Wensheng Temple".

Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief: "The Wensheng Temple enshrines the sage of Confucianism. Confucian sages behave properly, so it shouldn't be a problem for us to stay here for the night."

He reached out and knocked on the door. No one answered for a long time, so he pushed the door open and walked in.

The courtyard of Wensheng Temple is not big. Apart from the main hall, there are two wings, east and west. The east wing is where the temple keeper stores firewood and cooks, and the west wing is where guests stay overnight and rest.

Su Yun took Hua Hu and others to the main hall first, where they saw a Confucian saint enshrined. He was bending over, holding a book in one hand and pointing at the words in the book with the other. It was unclear whether he was asking for advice from others or explaining the words in the book to others.

Su Yun found the incense under the altar, lit it, and inserted it into the incense burner. Everyone bowed to the Confucian saint and then left the hall.

He and Huahu went to the east wing to fetch some dry firewood, while Qingqiuyue, Huping and others cleaned the room in the west wing. There were no bedding here, so they just tidied it up and swept the dust.

Su Yun built a small bonfire, lit it, and then built a simple rack on the bonfire and placed a small pot on it.

The flower fox brought a big snowball and put it in the pot, and the snowball gradually melted.

Su Yun took out Luo Mo from his bag, roasted it by the fire, until the aroma of flour and eggs came out, and distributed it to everyone.

Everyone ate in a hurry. The water boiled again and they each drank some water. Hu Buping opened the door to check the weather outside. He saw that it was getting late, but the wind and snow had gradually stopped.

The sky after the snow is not dark, but you can see dimly in the distance.

"Close the door, close the door!"

The crowd behind them urged, "It's so cold! Don't let the cool breeze in!"

Hu Buping stood in front of the door and turned around and said, "It's so lively outside!"

Everyone was surprised. Su Yun stepped forward and looked outside the temple through the broken wall. He saw that it was bright and lively outside the temple.

About a hundred steps outside the temple is a large house covering an area of more than ten acres. It is brightly lit and there are sounds of stringed instruments and laughter coming from inside, as if someone is having a night banquet and drinking and having fun.

Not far away there is a mansion that looks like a palace, with singing and laughter everywhere. You can vaguely see people coming and going, and carriages and horses like dragons.

In the distance, among the snowfields and mountains that were extremely desolate during the day, palaces and mansions rose from the ground, brightly lit and bustling.

There were also people like maids and young masters who came out to enjoy and play in the snow at night, and there were also naughty children having snowball fights in the snow, which made the foxes around Su Yun restless and they wanted to run into the snow to have fun.

However, during the day, this kind of scenery and these houses cannot be seen at all. At night, they appear out of nowhere and look extremely strange.

"It's the big tombs we saw during the day."

Su Yun looked around and guessed, "It's probably night time, and the spirits are out playing."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the temple, and someone asked outside the temple: "Shenggong Wen, Shenggong Wen! Are you home?"

"What's the matter?" A voice came from the east wing.

The fur of the four little demon children around Su Yun stood up. Hua Hu said in a trembling voice: "There is obviously no one in the east wing..."

I could vaguely hear the sound of a door opening, and heard someone talking outside the temple, "I'm from Dongling. The owner of the house said that it's a rare sight to see snow, so he invited Lord Wen to come over as a guest. The owner of the house has prepared fine wine and delicious food, and the table is empty. Please inform him."

"Wait a moment, I'll go and report it."

The sound of footsteps came closer and closer, passing by the west wing. However, Su Yun and others did not see any figure, but only heard the footsteps gradually going to the main hall.

There was a sound of a door opening in the main hall, and it sounded like someone was whispering inside.

After a while, footsteps were heard again, gradually approaching and reaching the temple gate.

"The Holy Lord said that my family has guests staying in the west wing. If the host leaves home to attend the banquet, it would be neglecting the guests and violate etiquette. Therefore, I have to decline. I hope the master of Dongling will forgive me."

"That's a pity. The master of the house has also invited several other saints this time."

“Who are these saints?”

"What other saints are there nearby? They are nothing more than good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"Let me go and report again."

Not long after, a voice was heard again in front of the temple gate: "Brother, please tell the owner of Dongling that the Holy Lord will be here soon. We can only ask the guests in the west wing to be more patient."

"As long as the fire is not extinguished, who else would dare to cause trouble in the Wensheng Temple?"

“That’s true.”

In the west wing, Su Yun and the four little fox demons looked at each other.

At this time, the door of the main hall opened, and Su Yun hurriedly closed the door of the west wing. He heard the footsteps coming to the door of the west wing and paused. The one person and four foxes in the room had their heartbeats accelerated, and they guarded the campfire and dared not move.

A deep and gentle voice came from outside the door: "The guest is staying overnight. The host should not leave for a banquet, but we are all close friends and cannot leave. Please do not put out the bonfire at night. As long as the flame is still on, I can identify the direction of the temple at night and arrive in an instant."

Footsteps were heard, and then the temple door was opened and closed.

By the campfire, the man and the four foxes stared at each other without saying anything for a long time.

Su Yun said, "I've been studying the Immortal Ape Cultivation Chapter on the way, and I've almost mastered it. You guys go to sleep first, and I'll read it for a while. Whoever wakes up in the middle of the night can take over for me."

Qingqiu Yue, Li Xiaofan and Hu Buping each turned into a fox and slept beside the fire. The flower fox took care of them. After a while, the three little fox demons fell asleep, and the flower fox also gradually fell asleep.

Occasionally the bonfire would crackle and emit a spark.

Su Yun took advantage of the firelight to finally read the Immortal Ape's Qi Cultivation Chapter. His heart moved slightly, and he mobilized his vital energy, carefully controlling the qi and blood to enter his eyes.

Ever since he cultivated the sixth level of Honglu Transmutation, his Qi and blood forced away the imprint of the Immortal Sword and Tianmen Town that were blocking his pupils. However, neither the Immortal Sword nor Tianmen Town disappeared, but still appeared in his field of vision!

If you don't look carefully, you can't see the abnormality of his eyes. But in Su Yun's view, what he saw, in addition to the surrounding world, there were also flying immortal swords, the magnificent North Sea, and the Tianmen Town that had never been destroyed!

Of course, there are also the eight towering Chaotianque towers!

"Another world, here I come!"

Su Yun urged his qi and blood to surge towards the eight-sided palace facing the sky.

Last time, he was unable to see the shape of the Heavenly Palace, nor how it opened the Heavenly Gate. This time, he finally saw it clearly.

There were reliefs of mythical beasts on Chaotianque. When his blood and energy came forward, they were absorbed by the reliefs on Chaotianque, and those reliefs actually turned into flesh and blood little by little!

Before Su Yun had time to take a closer look, the Eight-sided Sky-facing Palace had already been activated!

All kinds of strange and divine beasts on Chaotianque were resurrected, flew into the sky and landed on the Tianmen of Tianmen Town!

The Sky Gate changed strangely, and light flowed out from each door and gathered on the central door.

Buzz!

Su Yun felt a strange vibration, and everything in front of his eyes turned white. When his vision gradually recovered, he found himself in another world behind the Tianmen again!

In the distance, there are vast fairy mountains, fairy platforms floating in the clouds, and long stone bridges winding and undulating among the clouds like a dragon.
