Chapter 620 Demon Locking Tower
The dining hall in Shushan is divided into two floors. The first floor is where ordinary disciples eat, and the second floor is only for those disciples who can go down the mountain alone, or the elders of the sect.
This is not a hard and fast rule, but a tacit understanding that the disciples follow unconsciously.
Of course, Amber can only be on the first floor. Since he often delivers food recently, he is already familiar with the senior brother who is responsible for cooking here.
"Xiao An, the things are ready and placed in the same place. When you go, remember to bring back yesterday's food box."
The person who spoke was a round guy. He was the disciple who was currently in charge of the work outside the cafeteria. His name was Zhou Qing. He was a very nice person, but he had a very bad mouth: "You are also unlucky. You got such a job just after you started. Go The road to the Demon Locking Tower is not easy, so be careful of being thrown down the mountain. There was an unlucky guy who ignored the plank road in the past and insisted on showing off his newly learned sword-controlling skills. As a result, he fell down before he could stand on it.
It was me, Lao Zhou, who collected the corpse at that time, and the scene, tsk tsk tsk, turned into a puddle of mud. "
"I will be careful, thank you, Senior Brother Zhou."
Amber did not go to get the food box, but was going to get her own breakfast.
"etc."
Zhou Qing, who was busy working, suddenly raised his head, and at the same time looked outside, "Come here, come here."
"Is there a problem?"
Amber asked as she changed direction and walked over.
"Take it."
Zhou Qing chuckled and magically pulled out a small bowl from under the counter, which contained skinless chicken legs. The whole sauce color made it look very delicious.
"Then I won't be polite."
Amber smiled slightly and took it over unceremoniously.
"I just like your refreshing energy!"
Zhou Qing was also very happy: "You are only a little bit old. It is the time when you are growing. It is good to eat more."
Amber did not disappoint him and started eating as she walked.
There is a limit to what each Shushan disciple can eat. If the belly is particularly large, then you have to find a way to solve it yourself. In the early stages of practicing, food supplements are the healthiest and least labor-intensive way, so many people are struggling to think of it. Go to the cafeteria and do chores.
After all, in this state where most people don't have enough to eat, being able to eat freely is a very luxurious thing.
Of course, none of this means much to Amber.
Just when he was almost finished eating, the disciples practicing outside had almost finished their morning classes and were already walking here in twos and threes. The originally deserted canteen soon became lively.
At this time, Amber had already come out of another door and embarked on the path to the Demon Locking Tower.
Shushan is actually just a collective name. It is composed of many different peaks, each connected to each other by iron cable bridges made of iron chains and wooden boards. This is nothing to those disciples who have already achieved success in practice, but for those who are just starting to practice. Soon, it won’t be so easy for a newbie who is just light and healthy.
Every time I step on it, it's like passing through the gates of hell.
Amber was walking on it now, looking at the clouds and mist between the mountain peaks, feeling quite comfortable in her heart.
Sure enough, the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers is much more interesting than the mundane world.
After successfully passing the chain bridge, what appeared in front of me was a winding staircase. Because the mountain peak was too steep, it was almost vertical. If I wanted to go up, I had to use both hands and feet, and I had to carry a food box, which was very challenging to deliver meals. The basic skills of a disciple.
I saw Amber slowly walking up the steps, each step being extremely steady, and the surrounding environment seemed to have no impact on him at all.
"Today is one hundred and seventy-six breaths earlier than yesterday. It seems that you have completely overcome the difficulties on the road."
When he reached the top, a cold male voice immediately sounded in his ears.
Amber turned around and saw a figure in disciple uniform with long hair facing away from him.
"Senior Brother Li, you left your post without permission again."
"Oh, so it turns out that this is who I am in your heart?"
The man called Senior Brother Li slowly turned his head, revealing his ordinary face that was neither handsome nor beautiful.
Especially those squinting eyes, which look very funny.
"Where's the other senior brother?"
Amber ignored him and started looking around. "I'm going to take the food box back later, and then I have to chop wood. I can't wait too long."
"The boy's mother passed away yesterday. I only received the news this morning. I guess he will be home soon."
Senior Brother Li still looked melancholy, "Life is long, and to this world, it is just a mayfly emerging from the water, living and dying. If you don't live forever, you are just an ant after all."
Amber's eyes twitched when she heard this.
These words were just a joke that they accidentally said one night after drinking. Unexpectedly, after being heard, the other party seemed to be a different person the next day. He said it to everyone he met, and every time he said it, he said it It was very shameful to have to pose like that.
"Senior Brother Li, yesterday I heard Senior Brother Zhang and others saying that Senior Sister Qin seems to have found a Taoist companion."
"What?"
The guy who looked so pitiful just now immediately said, "Junior Sister Qin promised to wait for me! Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"If you don't believe me, go down and ask yourself."
Amber put the food box on the ground and said casually.
What he said was true. Senior Sister Qin had indeed found a Taoist companion, and it was the disciple who went down the mountain to attend the funeral of his mother as discussed earlier.
"Junior Sister Qin!!"
After a cry of sorrow, Senior Brother Li stopped eating and threw something like a waist tag over, "This is the key to the door of the Demon Tower. Please help me take a look at it first. If there is any situation, pull the rope immediately." , taught you before."
After saying that, he actually stood up with his sword regardless of it and flew towards the main peak.
Amber looked at the direction he was leaving, then at the badge in his hand, and finally turned to look at the Demon Locking Tower not far away that seemed to pierce the sky.
In his sight, this thing was shrouded in circles of extremely rich demonic energy, exuding ominousness from beginning to end.
It is said that there are monsters caught by Shushan disciples in the past generations. If any one is released, it can bring great harm to the people of the world.
Therefore, only two little guys who were not very successful in swordsmanship were left to guard him. If there were no other back-up moves, Amber would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.
The most likely possibility is that Dugu Sword Master has actually been guarding this place personally, and those outside are just a means to deceive others.
This is not impossible, on the contrary the possibility is very high.
It is said that the old boy has basically not left the mountain since he became the leader. What else can he do here if he is not suppressing it?
Now comes the problem.
Amber's casual words allowed the carefully selected disciples who would not leave even after death to fly away easily. Was this the arrangement of Dugu Sword Master?
What's even more outrageous is that he even gave him the key to the door. Doesn't this clearly tell him that you should go in and take a look?
