Chapter 38 Endless Stone Stairs
"Ning Xue, do you know the origin of these two sentences?" Bai Cangdong asked Ning Xue, who looked surprised.
Ning Xue said a little uncertainly: "I remember these two sentences should be the representative works of Xinmeng sages."
"The sage of the heart dream? Could it be the sage who disappeared hundreds of years ago in the weeping and mourning sound of the ages, and the sage who lived and died did not see the corpse?" Liu Qiancheng stared at the last two sentences of the stone tablet with wide eyes.
Bai Cangdong wanted to remind them not to look at the stone tablet, so as not to be affected by the stone tablet, but looking at the appearance of Ning Xue and the other three, it seemed that they were not affected, which made Bai Cangdong slightly puzzled.
"Could it be that the sage Xinmeng didn't die at the sound of weeping through the ages, but hid his death here?" Zhu Feng suddenly showed excitement: "If this is the case, the sage Xinmeng has lived in seclusion here for hundreds of years. , I’m afraid he’s already dead, so aren’t all the treasures he carries are here.”
"You mean that sage-level sacred soldier with a thousand-year dream?" Liu Qiancheng's eyes also lit up.
"Even if the Millennium Dream is just a legend, the inheritance of a sage is no small matter. Any item of the sage rank, even if it is only low-grade, is a great wealth for us." Zhu Feng said and wanted to go to the stone steps. go up.
"There may be danger up there." Bai Cangdong stopped him.
"Dangerous? What's the danger?" Zhu Feng stared at Bai Cangdong and asked.
"I don't know, he said it." Bai Cangdong pointed to Ziyi.
"You don't know? Of course you don't know, what do you know? Don't you know that you are Bai Cangdong? Don't you know that someone is chasing you? Don't you know that it will implicate us? You don't know that Lianshan and the others will be killed Die?" Zhu Feng angrily pushed Bai Cangdong away: "If it wasn't for you, Lian Shan and the others wouldn't have died."
The suppressed emotions broke out, Zhu Feng glared at Bai Cangdong angrily and said: "Okay, you said there is danger up there, so what do you think we should do now? Sit here and wait for Fang Jianhao to come and kill us all?"
Bai Cangdong remained silent, what Zhu Feng said was not unreasonable, he was indeed the one who got Zhu Feng and the others involved, and Ziyi said that it would be dangerous to walk further along the stone path, and it would be dangerous to walk up the stone steps. There is no way to go, if you wait here, you will be found by Fang Jianhao sooner or later, and it will still be a dead end.
"Are you going to find the relics of Xinmeng Sage with me, or wait here to die with them?" Zhu Feng stepped up the stone steps, but found nothing, and went up a few more steps, still nothing. What happened, only then did Zhu Feng relax, and turned to talk to Liu Qiancheng and Ning Xue.
Liu Qiancheng and Ning Xue looked at Bai Cangdong, then at Zhu Feng and the two sentences on the stone tablet, and after a moment of deep thought, they walked towards Zhu Feng slowly.
The inheritance of a sage, the temptation is too great for them.
"Dong...Brother Bai, you should come too, Fang Jianhao will come after him sooner or later, it's not safe to stay there." Ning Xue stood on the stone steps and said to Bai Cangdong.
"What do you care about him, it's just right for him to stay. After Fang Jianhao kills him, the chief culprit, maybe he won't chase us anymore." Zhu Feng said coldly.
"Now is not the time to worry about these things. I don't know if the stone steps are the hermitage of Xinmeng sage, and maybe it is really a dangerous place as Ziyi said. We should unite to overcome this difficulty now." .” Liu Qiancheng was also smoothing things over.
"How can we believe the words of that lunatic, if it weren't for him, we would not have fallen into such a dangerous place." Zhu Feng snorted coldly.
"Then let's go up and have a look together." Bai Cangdong didn't say much, and walked up the steps.
Anyway, this place is already a dead end, and there might be another way to survive if you break through.
They walked a few steps along the stone steps, Bai Cangdong saw that Ziyi followed, but he just lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Ziyi, can you think of any danger here?" Bai Cangdong asked as he walked beside Ziyi.
Zi Yi looked at Bai Cangdong with his eyes as black as ink, then shook his head, then lowered his head again not knowing what he was thinking.
"It's useless for you to ask him. I don't know whether he is really stupid or fake. Maybe he deliberately lured us here, maybe what's his idea." Zhu Feng said angrily.
At the beginning, a few people walked cautiously, for fear that there would be something strange on the stone steps, but after walking for a while, they found that there was nothing special about the stone steps, not to mention any hidden weapons, monsters, even snakes, insects, rats and ants. None.
Several people went up in silence, and their pace was much faster, but after walking for a while, they all felt that something was wrong.
They have been walking on the stone steps for at least more than an hour. Although they were slow at first, according to the speed behind, they should have climbed up even if it is a high mountain of several kilometers, but the stone steps are still There is no end in sight, only those shimmering beads meandering upwards, as if they are connected to the star chain and bead lock of heaven and earth, as if they can climb to the heaven as long as they follow it.
"Where's that lunatic Ziyi?" When Zhu Feng stopped to rest, his face suddenly changed drastically.
The expressions of Bai Cangdong and the others also changed. They kept going up in silence, and Ziyi, who was walking at the end, disappeared without knowing when.
"I knew that **** was weird." Zhu Feng said bitterly.
"I think this stone step is very weird. I don't know how far it is on the top. Now that Ziyi is missing again, let's go back and have a look?" Liu Qiancheng felt a little drummed.
"Let's go back and have a look, maybe Ziyi just fell behind due to lack of energy." Ning Xue said.
Several people felt that this place was a little weird, even Zhu Feng didn't insist on continuing to move forward, and everyone returned along the stone steps, but after walking for a long time, there was no sign of Ziyi.
This walk took another hour or two, and at this hour, the faces of Bai Cangdong and the others became very ugly.
When they came down, the speed was much faster than when they went up, but they had walked for more than two hours, which was longer than when they went up, but when they looked down, there were still endless stone steps and The shimmering beads radiated, and the waterway when it came could not be seen at all.
"There is no need to go anymore, we are trapped by illusions and the like." Bai Cangdong said with a frown.
His Jingxinyan has only developed a little fur, otherwise he should have seen that there is a problem with this stone step.
"A thousand-year dream... It must be a thousand-year dream... This stone step must be the result of a thousand-year dream..." Ning Xue suddenly said in surprise.
"That's right, that's right, it must be a thousand-year dream. Wei said that the thousand-year dream of Xinmeng Sage possesses the illusory power to indulge in dreams and illusions. This stone step must have been transformed by a thousand-year dream." Zhu Feng Also cried out excitedly.
