Go west for 1,300 miles and then turn south. They followed the ancient boardwalk, bypassed the Great Snow Mountain, and crossed the Floating Ring River. They stopped at the relay station for lunch before taking the waterway. After crossing the ferry, they encountered a mountain pass and went straight up into the upper clouds. After walking for 300 miles, they could see a village surrounded by immortal mountains.
This was the number of changes that Nangong Xiaoxiang had experienced along the way. In fact, it had taken her a whole month.
The faraway southwestern border, the paradise that had never been involved in the war. Only the guide of the secret realm knew how to get there. Of course, he had to have a winged mount like her.
There was a small inn at the foot of the mountain. Zhao Xiaomei was obviously a regular customer, so she handed her mount to the waiter. He had finished all the food he had prepared, so he decided to stay here for the time being.
However, there were so many mountains here. Which one was the one that Nangong Xiaoxiang and the others were looking for?
When he asked Zhao Xiaomei, she said she didn't know either. This place was constantly changing. The mountain was still the same mountain, but the mystic qi was often different.
The market of this small mountain village was within a few feet of this small inn. Small traders and traveling doctors were all gathered here.
At this moment, someone carried a patient over and asked the doctor to take a look.
The doctor checked his pulse and shook his head.
"Is there really no hope?" Everyone asked the doctor.
"Unless an immortal descends to the mortal world."
"There are immortals living on the Four Void Mountain!”At this moment, a child said. As soon as he finished speaking, his parents pulled him aside and pretended to beat him up. Children shouldn't talk nonsense!
"Four Void Mountain?" This piqued Nangong Xiaoxiang's interest and she quickly asked around. However, the people here all revered living beings, so no one was willing to say anything.
"Yes, it's only a mile or two from here. It was shrouded in fog all year round, and the peak could not be seen. There was an old man living on it. Someone saw him riding on a cloud and thought that he had divine powers. However, he was eccentric and often went down the mountain to steal wine. How could such behavior be worthy of the word 'immortal'?”An old man said.
He spoke vaguely and didn't dare to blaspheme the gods. In their imagination, immortals did not eat grain, so how could they be greedy for grain wine in the human world?
If there were dates or not, they would go to the Four Skies Mountain.
The residents also said that they needed to bring this patient along so that the immortals could treat him. It would take at least three days to climb up the mountain, but no one had ever reached the top.
They didn't look optimistic about Nangong Xiaoxiang's journey to find immortality. However, he treated them warmly, packed good wine and food, and hired a carriage to send them on their way. The village chief even secretly reminded Nangong Xiaoxiang,""If you're willing to accept it, set a date and we'll send it to you.”
It turned out that these were all filial piety to the "immortals". If he really had the ability, he might as well be a resident god here and guard a region.
"The people of Fairy Water Town are kind, but not pure. They even know how to curry favor with immortals. Look at this cart full of good things.”Jun Xiaojue joked along the way.
"What's wrong with that? Those who are capable work harder and naturally enjoy a generous salary. People without ability only knew how to be jealous.”Zhao Xiaomei said.
This Zhao Xiaomei always spoke with sarcasm and seemed to be targeting Nangong Xiaoxiang.
He was originally just a guide, and a guide to the secret realm. Now, he was involved in so many unrelated people and things.
"I'm sorry to have troubled everyone.”The injured man saw the clues and said on the sickbed.
"It's okay. I'm angry that she didn't fight for it, but I don't want her to be a cold-blooded person who doesn't help.”Zhao Xiaomei said with a smile and shouted outside,"The handle, steady."
"I'm sorry, I'm new to this." Nangong Xiaoxiang slowly raised the reins, and the carriage headed into the clouds.
After walking along the path for two days, the scenery along the way changed from lush green to desolate.
He didn't know when, but he suddenly realized that all the rocks around him were floating in the air.
"We've already reached the Four Void Mountain's force field. Be careful, don't touch these rocks.”Zhao Xiaomei said.
What would happen if he touched it? Nangong Xiaoxiang had always been careful. She tapped on a small stone, and it immediately flew out like an arrow, bouncing off the other stones. Soon, the surroundings were filled with flying stones. The speed was very fast, and the penetrating power was unimaginable.
Jun Xiao quickly raised an earth wall and circled around them, blocking the rocks outside. He finally avoided the danger of being hit into a beehive.
Was this the power of the five spirits after passing the fifth tribulation? It was said that the five spirits were the power of the five elements. This was the first time Nangong Xiaoxiang had seen it, and her excitement was beyond words. "Is there anything else?”
Nangong Xiaoxiang also wanted to see his other abilities because she was going to go through the fifth tribulation soon, so she could experience it in advance.
"Your hands are cheap. It's good to chop them off!" Zhao Xiaomei, who was only a guide and had never thought that her life would be in danger, was actually at a very low realm, only at stage two. The ability to find secret realms should be an ancestral skill. Therefore, she was afraid to dodge at that time. Now, she began to scold Nangong Xiaoxiang.
Although Nangong Xiaoxiang was not convinced, she was indeed the one who caused the trouble. She could only apologize profusely,""I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm curious.”
"Curiosity will kill people here. Listen to me in the future!”
Nangong Xiaoxiang had learned that she had to listen to the professional guide in an unfamiliar and dangerous area.
After listening to Zhao Xiaomei, they arrived at the entrance of the mountain safely.
There was a row of floating platforms here, and below and on both sides was a pitch-black abyss. There was a small floating island on the other side. There was no other way up a row of stone steps.
"This is all I have to do. The floating platform needs to be completed eighty-one times. Every time, there are six steps. Every step is in accordance with the Eight Trigrams of the Book of Changes. And…"
"I don't understand what you're saying at all. If you don't accompany us in, what if I take a wrong step?”Nangong Xiaoxiang interrupted Zhao Xiaomei's explanation.
"One wrong step and you'll fall."
"Then don't even think about it. I'll definitely fall down at the first step. Do you want to see me die?" Nangong Xiaoxiang said.
" But..." Zhao Xiaomei looked troubled." This is only the entrance. You can't come back after you go there." We only act as guides and never step into the secret realm. This is the rule of our clan.”
"The rules have to change with the times. If you return now and ignore the safety of our group, isn't this against your professional ethics?”Jun Xiaojue also started to persuade him.
Zhao Xiaomei thought about it and walked up to the floating platform. The distance was only a dozen meters, but they had walked for more than six hours. The job of being a guide was really not something an ordinary person could do.
At the foot of the mountain, there was a stone staircase that stretched as far as the eye could see. The mountain was steep, and the carriage could not go up.
"How can we go up with so many things?”Nangong Xiaoxiang sighed.
"There's a second pick here." Zhao Xiaomei said.
That's quite thoughtful. Wait a minute, this is a trap!
Then the question was, who was the most suitable animal here? In other words, who here needed to be a livestock when they needed help from others?
Thus, Nangong Xiaoxiang took the pole and carried the wounded on one end and the dishes on the other. Fortunately, even without mystic qi, he was still born with a good body, so he could still bear the weight.
Jun Xiaojue wanted to help her, but Zhao Xiaomei stopped him.""This is her own trial. If you help her, she can forget about ever rebuilding her dantian.
Jun Xiao decided to give up.
Nangong Xiaoxiang stepped onto the first step and suddenly felt a force pressing down. Nangong Xiaoxiang almost fell to the ground, but she barely managed to hold on and stammered,""Oh? There's something wrong with these stone steps!"
"Is that so?" Zhao Xiaomei also walked over and frowned." No, it's normal. You must be thinking about it."”
"Hey, your legs are trembling."
"Hmph, if you don't believe me, come after me." Zhao Xiaomei led the way. As she climbed to the tenth level with Jun Xiao, she turned around and looked at Nangong Xiaoxiang, saying,""You should train!"
She couldn't let her look down on her, so Nangong Xiaoxiang followed her step by step. As long as that little girl was still in front of her, Nangong Xiaoxiang had no reason to retreat. This was a kind of unyielding spirit. Not only was she unyielding, but she was also determined to climb ahead of her.
Nangong Xiaoxiang was not willing to admit defeat. She caught up with them and said with a smile,""It's not that great. It's quite easy.”
However, when they were one-third of the way…The only one who remained calm was Jun Xiaojue. Zhao Xiaomei walked slower and slower, and her breathing was heavy." Only at the second rank, it really can't be done! That's why I'm only suitable to lead, not to go with you.”
Nangong Xiaoxiang walked to her side, wrapped her arms around her waist, and carried her on her shoulders.
Zhao Xiaomei panicked." You, you, you, put me down!”
"Don't move! It was already heavy enough. My mortal body is also much stronger than your half-baked Rank-3!”Nangong Xiaoxiang had completely reversed the situation. As for whether she was trying to be brave, only she knew.
They had traveled two-thirds of the way. Jun Xiaojue walked slowly, his expression still unchanged. He was waiting for those behind him. He turned around and saw Nangong Xiaoxiang's face was so tense that it looked like it was about to split open. She was panting and her sweat was dripping on the ground.
"Don't force yourself. Let me carry it.”Jun Xiaojue said.
"No, this is my own trial. I carried her on my back so that she wouldn't nag me again, as if I had harmed her.”Nangong Xiaoxiang's body couldn't take it, but her willpower was still very strong.
"Then why don't we rest for a while? We've walked for so long and we can't see the end!”Jun Xiaojue looked into the distance.
"You must not rest. This stone step has been cursed by an immortal. Once it stopped, it would be endless!”Only then did Zhao Xiaomei say it. It turned out that it wasn't an easy task to visit immortals and ask for Dao. This long flight of stairs had to be completed in one breath. This was not just a test of physical strength and willpower, but also a test of determination.
"If you have anything else you haven't said, tell me as soon as possible. There was something wrong with the stone steps.”Nangong Xiaoxiang panted. Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120183:43AM
