Chapter 87: The Little Girl Who Escaped From The Temple
Along the stone steps that appeared in the snow and ice, Bitter Lotus, who was still a young man, and Sean, who was full of shock, began to climb up the snowy mountain, and the change of feelings on their faces were finally no longer frozen by the snow and wind, but changed into extremely complex feelings, excitement, relief, nervousness, excitement, and hidden fear.
Bitter lotus face has no fear, there is only incomparable fervor, he is a bitter monk, this life aspires to be able to personally touch the door of the temple, forehead can gently bow on the stone steps in front of the temple.
The great snow mountain that magnificent zuoyu look extremely close, but when the two try to get close to it, only to find that the temple is an extremely distant existence, climbed half a day, and even feel more and more far away from that temple, those black solemn stone walls, just like a vague and ethereal shadow, at any time may be vaporized in the great snow mountain.
Legend has it that the temple will only appear twice a year, Bitter Lotus and Sean are not willing to give up this opportunity, so they used all their strength to climb up the big snowy mountain, I don’t know how long it took to climb, after the robbery, the two of them were covered with mouths cut out by the ice prongs, drenched in blood, dragging out two faint lines of blood on the snowy ground.
With a snap, Bitter Lotus’s palm finally touched the stone steps in front of the temple, and the young ascetic couldn’t help but slap it twice with abandon, expressing his inner ecstasy and unspeakable excitement.
Sean was a bit slower than him, secretly holding the concealed weapon in his sleeve, looking at the main door of the temple with a slight hint of horror. This door was seven feet high, like a book thrown on earth by the God of Heaven, the door of the Wei Palace looked like a scaled down version of the temple’s door, far less grand than the atmosphere of this temple, it really wasn’t a place where mortals lived.
The stone walls of the temple are full of dust, it should be many years that no one has come to visit this most mysterious place in the world.
Sean swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then prepared to find the way to enter the temple, he was entrusted with the important task of his majesty to obtain the wonderful formula for immortality, now he looked at the success is imminent, naturally, he was also a little excited. But Bitter Lotus was different from him, kneeling very reverently before the temple, kowtowing non-stop, blood gradually oozing from his forehead.
He walked towards the temple door, reaching out, but could not touch the huge door, it seemed that as his fingertips reached forward, the huge door was retreating in a strange way.
The temple, near at hand, but far away.
Thirty years later in the cave, a hint of gloom welled up in the dying Sean’s eyes.
“I didn’t make it in.”
Fan Xian loosened his clenched hands and said softly, “It’s a conceivable thing, or else the Four Great Masters should have become the Five Great Masters.”
“Bitter Lotus is stronger than me. Even if I had his luck, there’s no way for me to step into the realm of a Grand Master.” Sean shook his head, “But Bitter Lotus wasn’t able to enter either, that temple seemed to be guarded by a mysterious power, back then, Bitter Lotus and I were the strongest martial artists in the world, yet we weren’t able to enter either.”
Fan Xian came to his senses, amongst the secret stories of this world, Teacher Fei Jie had once mentioned that Bitter Lotus had knelt on the green stone steps in front of the temple for a long time before he possessed the strength to be able to dominate nowadays, so it seemed that there was indeed a bit of truth to this rumor. He suddenly frowned and asked for guidance, “What exactly is a divine temple?”
This was a question that Sean couldn’t give an answer to, and the old man said feebly, “There’s a large plaque at the main entrance of the temple, only it’s so old that it’s hard to see what’s written on it, and I’m guessing that it should be a rune that the heavens have left for the world.”
Fan Xian’s heart trembled slightly as he asked, “What kind of symbols?”
Sean looked at the excited Fan Xian, his eyebrows twitching, as if he felt a twinge of interest born from this young man having such a strong curiosity about the unknown when he was about to die.
“It’s a Do not word ……,” the old man stretched out his finger with some difficulty and gestured in the air.
Fan Xian immediately read it and muttered to himself, “Subterranean dragon do not use?” As soon as the words left his mouth, he lost his own laughter.
“There are three more identical runes.” Sean continued, his fingers drawing two circular arcs in the air one above the other and then one above the other, his fingertips breaking through the air, making people feel mysterious and unpredictable.
Fan Xian was slightly stunned, knowing that he could not discover anything from such simple runes, did the temple have anything to do with his rebirth or not? Did it have anything to do with mom? It seemed that the only way to discover this was to wait for his own future, except that he didn’t necessarily have the same luck as Bitter Lotus and Sean to make it through the long polar night.
“I think the story should not end so simply.”
Sean coughed twice: “That’s right …… when a goal you’ve been pursuing so hard is close at hand and you can never reach it, you will always have extremely strong resentment.”
“While Bitter Lotus knelt very reverently on the stone steps in front of the temple, I began to walk slowly towards the high wall on the side of the mountain.”
The night outside the cave enveloped the two of them, there was no fire, so there was no light, and Sean’s indifferent voice recounting the events of decades ago seemed unusually demonic. Fan Xian suddenly whispered, “You’re looking for the sewers?”
Sean glanced at the young man’s figure at the cave entrance and said, “You’re also a fellow traveler, so of course you know exactly what I would have done at that time.”
“You can’t even get close to the wall …… How could you possibly get into the temple through the sewers? What’s more ……” Fan Xian frowned, “It’s not like a divine site like this left behind by the heavens would necessarily have sewers.”
“So I failed.” Sean said dryly, “Now that I think about it, I was so bold back then, facing the temple I was still thinking about these earthly means.”
“And later?”
“Later ……” Sean fell into a very strange mood, “Later I walked back to the main entrance of the temple, but found that Bitter Lotus was putting something into his arms, I was a little curious, and I was about to ask questions, this time ……”
The old man’s speech slowed down, and Fan Xian’s heart lifted.
“The door of the temple …… opened.”
“Huh?” Fan Xian subconsciously moved closer in Sean’s direction, as if trying to protect this guy from thirty years ago.
Sean’s eyes let out a trace of absurd laughter, hissing, “The door of the temple opened silently, I was overjoyed and was about to go in, but unexpectedly, from the door that was the biggest in the world, the most marvelous personage suddenly ran out.”
“A most wonderful personage?”
“Yes, it was a little fairy.”
Sean stood stupidly outside the door of the temple, watching a little girl rush into his arms, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood, but his afterglow saw Bitter Lotus rushing to the door of the temple like a tiger, entangling himself with a black light from the temple.
The young Bitter Lotus, already the youngest ninth grade master in the human world, at this time, I do not know what stimulation, will be in their own body’s ability to fully play to the peak, actually and the temple of that mysterious black shadow entangled in a place, the strength of the gas rushed in all directions, the mountains and snow chaotic.
Several breaths later, Sean only remembered that he had a little girl in his arms, and before it was his turn to react to anything, he heard that little girl shouting to Bitter Lotus on the green stone steps, “Retreat!”
A very simple word, from this little girl’s mouth, but like a generation of emperors, not to be doubted, that kind of innate might made Sean’s heart flinch, and then his face received a slap, snapping.
“You also retreat!”
Bitter Lotus floated and retreated, Sean wolfishly holding the little girl rolled down the stone steps, leaving the main entrance of the temple ten feet away.
The black light abruptly shrunk back inside the temple and did not pursue. Sean at this time the aftermath of palpitations have not yet disappeared to look at the huge door, thinking of that black light seems to be a silhouette, can not help but be scared – because the bitter lotus at this time has already spit out blood on the side of the collapsed, and even the bitter lotus is not the other party’s enemy, the temple inside the people, really can not be viewed with the eyes of the mortal world.
He woke up extremely fast, must be he just went to find the sewer, kneeling on the green stone steps of the bitter lotus and his arms this little girl reached some kind of agreement, help her from the temple to get out of the trap.
Just …… who is this little girl?
“Hold me, pull him, go.”
The little girl seems to be a little afraid of the cold, burying her face in Sean’s arms, giving orders, Sean did not dare to slow down, grabbing Bitter Lotus’s collar with one hand, and running down the big snow mountain.
I don’t know how long he ran for, but finally ran back to his tent, and he didn’t come back to his senses until he sat down panting. Why did he himself run? His Majesty’s request for the Pill of Immortality had not yet been sought, so why was he listening to this little girl so much? And strangely enough, those immortals in the temple didn’t chase themselves.
Sean looked back, only to see that the little girl was half squatting, pinching her nose, looking at those leftover human bones in the corner of the tent.
“What a pitiful and hateful human.” The little girl turned over and looked at Sean. It was only then that Sean got a good look at her.
Clear as water, pure as snow, eyes like stars, not the stunningly beautiful face that a mortal should have.
In the darkness of the cave, Fan Xian’s expression could not be seen, but his voice was a bit strange, “How old is that little girl?”
“Four years old, at most.” Sean’s eyes were wide open, and it seemed that he could still see that clear and beautiful face, “When I held her in my arms, I felt that she was as light as if she didn’t exist.”
Fan Xian said with some perplexity, “Also four years old?”
“Why do you say also?”
“It’s nothing.” Fan Xian smiled and his eyes lit up, “Do you know who that little girl is?”
Sean said with incomparable certainty, “Of course I know, she’s a little fairy who covets the red earth, so she ran away from the temple!”
Fan Xian laughed, stretching out his finger and shaking it, “Believe me, she’s just a …… little girl who ran into the temple to steal something.”
