Leisurely fairy way

Chapter 96 Stone Wall Palace
It was almost dawn at this time, and when viewed from between the two cliff walls, the light of daylight shone through the sky and sprinkled on the dense stone walls.There is a stone bridge connected between the stone walls, with rough carvings, and stone pillars, tall stone gates, and exquisite window eaves are carved out of the stone walls. At a glance, the entire stone wall has been carved into a stone palace mausoleum.What makes people feel even more weird is that there are white lanterns hanging on the stone bridge and stone pillars, and the lights are on, illuminating the bloody flowers painted on the lanterns.Among the dark and cold stone walls, the little yellow light is particularly eye-catching.

The river passed under the stone bridge, the sound of the water was gentle, and there was a large gray mist in front of the stone wall, or because of the heavy dusk, it was impossible to see what was on the other side.

There is also a damp and cold breath in the air, and the place is extremely quiet, as if it has been silent for many years.Xiaochun hadn't recovered from the cold of the river, she only felt a tingling pain in her body, and she used her spiritual power to dry the clothes on her body.Holding Qin Huaitian's sledgehammer in his hand, he walked forward.

There was a stone ladder chiseled on the stone wall, and she walked up the stone ladder step by step. There were still some plants growing on the stone steps, which may have been dead for many years, leaving only skinny vines clinging to the stone steps.Xiaochun approached Shidian slowly, and felt a solemn aura. Shidian seemed to be a sleeping strong man, expressing his dissatisfaction with the external disturbance.

Taking a closer look, the gate of the stone hall is locked tightly, with intricate patterns carved on the door, and strange monsters carved on the porch pillars. Xiaochun only thinks this monster is familiar, but can't remember where he saw it before. The monster had a pair of huge wings, long gray hair all over its body, extremely long fangs, and a ferocious face.The reliefs are lifelike, like living things.

Xiaochun raised her head and glanced at the tall hall chiselled into the stone wall, and did not rush forward. She slowly retreated to the stone bridge and looked around carefully, but there was nothing at the other end of the stone bridge, only the years left on the rough stone wall. ancient traces.She looked up at the lantern above her head, flew forward and stood gently on the rope, looking into the lantern.

Half of the unburned candle, the wax tears kept flowing, and the blood red wax tears slowly flowed to the bottom platform.It's just an ordinary candle. Could it be that this ordinary candle has been burning for several years?

"Friend, please come down. The rope is old, but it can't hold you anymore." A voice suddenly came from behind Xiaochun, flat and slow.Xiaochun was startled, looked back, and saw a black-haired woman standing there, her long jet-black hair tied into a loose bun, with a brown hairpin stuck in it, the woman was dressed in white, holding a lantern in her hand, But it was completely red, even the light that illuminated it was red, which set off her beautiful face with a faint brilliance.

Xiaochun was secretly vigilant, flew down, and said politely: "I don't know where the girl is? What kind of place is this place? Have you ever seen a monster break in?"

The woman said softly: "You come with me." She turned around and walked to the end of the stone bridge, took out the hairpin in her hair, and drew a magic circle on the stone wall. A faint white light floated on the stone wall, and an ordinary portal appeared for a flash. Xiaochun didn't step forward, she stood behind the woman and watched her fight, not knowing what this man was going to do.

"Are you afraid?" the woman asked her flatly.

Xiao Chun said: "This place is strange, and the girl refuses to explain the origin, so I must be more vigilant, don't blame the girl."

The woman said: "Don't be afraid. If I want to kill you, I can do it in an instant." She turned to look at Ji Xiaochun, and said, "Please come in, friends. No one has come in for many years. I lit a lantern to welcome you. Don't let me down." Kindness."

Xiaochun thought again that this woman must be extraordinary if she can stay here alone for several years, so she doesn't have to be so afraid of her.She put the sledgehammer into the sea of ​​consciousness, and followed the woman into her portal.Inside the door is just a general layout, stone tables and benches, stone incense tables, smoke from incense sticks, hanging picture scrolls on the stone walls, ancient pines from Cangshan Mountain, the picture scrolls have turned yellow.

"Please sit down." The woman stretched out her plain hand and asked her to sit on the stone bench. She blew out the lantern and hung it on a branch on the stone wall.With a movement of her hand, she took out a jade bottle, took out two small white porcelain cups and put them on the stone table.

"3000 years ago, when I invited friends here, I still drank tea. Unfortunately, the tea leaves rotted in the end. I invited my friends to a bar. I brewed this wine with Fengdangui not long ago." The woman poured it into the jade pot. The wine was poured out, the wine was light red and full of aroma.However, Xiaochun thought about what Fengdangui was, it was clearly a top-grade spiritual tree at the prefecture level, and it was hard to find Fengdangui in today's Ping Continent, and this spirit tree seemed to have been annihilated for many years.

After the woman finished pouring the wine, she looked at Xiaochun: "Drink it, it will be good for you." She picked up the wine glass and drank it down, and Xiaochun also took the wine glass and drank the light red liquid in it.The wine is too spicy, she can neither drink nor taste tea, it is not elegant at all.Xiaochun was choked and coughed a few times, and the woman looked at her with a smile.

"You are the youngest person who can get here. I like your kindness very much. Many people I have met in the past ten thousand years are cruel, vicious and insidious." The woman sighed, "The kindness is completely annihilated, How can one attain Taoism and become an immortal? Only the person who cultivates Buddhism is okay, the Buddha Taoism is merciful, and he wins my heart the most.”

Ten thousand years?Xiaochun was surprised, this woman has been here for ten thousand years, and her cultivation should be extremely high. She remembered that the lifespan of Zhuji was 500 years, that of Jindan was 1000 years, and that of Nascent Soul was 5000 years, but she didn't know the lifespan of Huashen. How long did it take, this woman's cultivation base should have surpassed the Nascent Soul Stage, but the aura on her body was extremely weak, and it seemed that she was only at the top level of Qi Refining.As for the Buddhist cultivator, she must be talking about subjugating demons, right?Xiaochun thought that the elves of the Lost Lake seemed to have said that the demons had come.

Not long after drinking the wine, Xiaochun felt a hot current rising from the dantian and pervading the whole body. The heat of the wine dissipated the coldness in the meridians, the faint tingling pain disappeared, and the whole body felt extremely warm and comfortable.

"The water in the Heishui River can frostbite the meridians. Drink this glass of wine and it will be fine." The woman said.

Xiaochun said: "Then I have to thank Miss for giving me the wine."

The woman shook her head lightly and said, "Don't thank you for this glass of wine, this wine should only be practiced for you."

Seeing Xiaochun looking at her, the woman said, "Come outside with me." She led her to the outside. At this time, it was already dawn, but there was no sunlight coming in. The palace carved out of the stone wall seemed like It's not any brighter, it's still so heavy, majestic, oppressive in front of Xiaochun.The gray mist dissipated, and Xiaochun could see the river passing through a small forest, falling from a high place and turning into a waterfall, and the mountains on the opposite side were continuous, black and black in the indifferent autumn scenery.

"Where is this place?" The woman walked up the stone bridge, the wind blew her white dress, and the candles in the night were extinguished, leaving only pale paper lanterns shaking in the wind, the woman did not look back, As he walked, he said to Xiaochun, "This is a cemetery, and I am a cemetery keeper."

Xiaochun asked: "Since it is a cemetery, whose cemetery is this?"

The woman smiled, and she put her hand on the stone railing, that hand was pale and slender, without the slightest color of blood. "This is my grave, and I'm guarding my own grave."

Her own cemetery?Xiaochun felt weird, people came to guard his tomb before they died?
Before Xiaochun could say anything, the woman went on to say, "That's not right. I'm guarding the cemeteries of many people, not only your continent, but all the continents. I'm guarding a huge cemetery. I watch it every day. When it comes to life and death in reincarnation, no one can prove Taoism and become immortal, he is so cruel."

"People who come here call this place the place of seal." The woman turned to face Ji Xiaochun, and said to her, "Have you seen the Lost Forest and the Lost Lake? The forest above is called the Lost Forest, Test a person's strength, perseverance, spiritual power, wonderful formation talent, extraordinary wit, courage and carefulness. The Lost Lake should contain everything underground in the Lost Forest, and test a person's mind, perseverance, and Dao heart. You It's just luck, you can enter through the Lost Lake, if you go through the Lost Forest, you will never come out."

With a movement of her hand, she held out a monster, but it wasn't Xiaoyi!

"Fortunately, you have it, hold it well, it won't be long before it wakes up." The woman touched Xiaoyi's head, handed Xiaoyi to Xiaochun, Xiaochun held Xiaoyi in her arms, and asked her, "Why did the girl summon it?"

The woman said: "I didn't summon it, it just felt a familiar aura and ran over. If I hadn't stopped it and settled into the stone palace, it would be difficult for you to save it."

The woman suddenly looked up at the sky, and slowly covered her eyes with her hands. Xiaochun saw a faint smile on the corner of her mouth: "The time is coming, you can enter the stone palace."

Why do you want her to enter the stone palace?Xiaochun asked suspiciously: "What's in this stone hall? Why does the girl want me to go in?"

"Don't you want to leave here?" The woman said, "This is the rule of the sealed place. When you come here, you can only leave from the stone palace. There is no other way to go." With a wave of the woman's sleeve, Xiaochun only saw A jade slip shot at her, she held the jade slip in her hand, glanced at the woman suspiciously, and poked her spiritual sense in, inside was a map of the stone palace.

"I have another request." The woman said: "Follow this map. It shows the location of the transfer formation that leaves here. You can leave here through the transfer formation. This route should be the safest route. You have already passed the lost road." Hu, don’t worry too much. There is a seal next to it, I want you to help me break that seal, if you can’t, don’t force it.”

Xiaochun saw that a line was marked with spiritual power in the jade slip, and the transfer formation was at the end of the line, and there was indeed a faint white dot marked beside it, which should be the seal that the woman mentioned.She smiled and said, "Young lady thinks highly of me, I'm not very skilled in formation."

"It's okay, you just need to try it. There is no ordinary person who can get here, and none of them can break the seal." The woman's expression was dull, "It's just my wishful thinking." She received a few friends, expecting them to help her break the seal in the stone palace, but no one was able to break it.She lived alone among the lonely stone walls, accompanied by mountains and forests, and she had long thought of her own life.But that mighty one tied her life with the seal, and if the seal was not removed, she would never die.

Immortality, to her, is really a big joke.

"If possible, I'd like to give you a try." Xiaochun nodded and agreed, she had long wanted to leave this ghostly place, and it would be nice to be able to leave the stone palace.

"Then thank my friend first." The woman said.She pulled out the hairpin from her hair again, and drew a magic circle on the stone gate. Suddenly, a white light shot down from the sky, driving the magic circle into the stone gate. Xiaochun heard the dull sound of the stone gate, and hadn't opened it for many years. The stone gate opened.

She looked inside, but saw nothing, only felt that the inside was pitch black, after nodding to say goodbye to the woman.Xiaochun cautiously walked into the stone gate slowly.Xiaochun's back disappeared behind the stone gate, and the heavy door closed again.The woman in white stands on the bridge and looks at her, the wind blows her skirt, her expression is neither sad nor happy.

Outside the huge stone-walled palace, the thin figure of the woman, together with the paper lantern, was extremely pale in the black world.
