Chapter 27: Death to Nirvana in the Abyss(1/2)
He could hide it from anyone, but there was no way he could hide Meng Shen Tong in front of him.
After thinking about it, Li Xiuyuan stretched out his little hand and saw a golden flame appear on his palm. Although it was only a small ball, it was still very hot.
The old man was stunned for a moment, looked at him and asked nervously: "What kind of flame is this, and where did you get it?"
In his opinion, his little apprentice was still clamoring to go out to find the legendary divine fire a few days ago. Unexpectedly, just a few days later, a flame appeared in front of him.
"This is the flame of the Phoenix. It is far from the real flame of Phoenix Nirvana."
Li Xiuyuan chuckled and said: "I also thought that Nirvana is far away, so I thought of going out for a walk to see if I could find the chance to find the divine fire."
"What about now?" the old man looked at him thoughtfully and asked.
"Since I can practice under the abyss and cannot die for the time being, I would like to complete the Phoenix Nirvana on top of the Bamboo Peak."
Li Xiuyuan has made up his mind, just like the old Taoist said: "It is better to ask for yourself than to ask for help from others!"
"If you want to complete Phoenix Nirvana at Zhufeng, will there be any danger? How can I help you as a teacher?"
Even the old man understands that nirvana is not a simple thing and can take a long or short time. He does not want his disciple to be misunderstood by other elders of the sect at first.
"No need, disciples have their own ideas."
Since the old Taoist priest did not ask him to find anyone for help, it means that his master has anticipated the progress of this matter, and he still has great faith in his master.
"It's just that if my master comes back from Loulan and can't see me, I have to ask him to cover up for me."
Li Xiuyuan looked at Meng Shentong and laughed: "I don't want this matter to spread in the sect, so that the disciples will never have peace."
"This matter makes me think about how to talk to her." The old man replied with a smile: "It's rare for you to come down here, and you have the phoenix fire in your body, so you have to have a drink today."
...
After learning about the past thousands of years ago from his teacher, Li Xiuyuan finally let go of some of his worries.
In Li Xiuyuan's view, it is impossible for the descendants of those alien races behind the Snow Mountain to cross the Wanli Snow Mountain to cause trouble for Tianyun Mountain and Loulan City.
After all, thousands of years have passed. Could it be that they couldn't understand the truth that their teacher could understand?
Returning to Zhufeng again, he felt a little uneasy.
He didn't even dare to go into the cave to rest, for fear of being accidentally drawn into the endless abyss again.
After all, the abyss is an unknown quantity to him. Even Meng Shentong doesn't know how many layers of the abyss there are under the Bamboo Peak. Even the old man doesn't know why the Bamboo Peak is connected to the abyss.
Sitting blankly on the bamboo peak, looking at the stars in the sky, I thought that I could still practice for half a year in autumn. When winter comes, I am afraid that it will be difficult to encounter a starry night.
Will I practice Phoenix Nirvana to the ninth turn here?
Li Xiuyuan felt that the old Taoist priest had given him an impossible task.
He had to continue to communicate with the stars in the sky tonight. Even if he had to live or die, it would be a matter of tomorrow. Fortunately, Meng Shentong gave him a night pearl and a bunch of torches today.
If he goes into the abyss tomorrow, he won't have to worry about lighting.
Night Pearl is not a new thing to him, but all his treasures have been put away in the Jade Disk Space. He is starving while guarding the treasure mountain.
Li Xiuyuan has two things that others don't have, one is to be serious when dealing with things, and the other is not afraid of hardship.
Just imagine, if he didn't have the determination to endure hardship, he would have died in the belly of the black dragon in the death ruins of the Demon Realm. How could he possibly fly to the nine heavens?
The old Taoist priest said that he had a hard life and had to endure more hardships on his way to practice.
Now that I think about it, I have really been suffering all the time.
What night is it today? In the blink of an eye, it has been almost half a year since I left the Shura battlefield.
...
It was another night of no progress, but Li Xiuyuan was not discouraged. After getting up early, he washed up, cooked a pot of meat porridge and a pot of spiritual tea.
Thinking of fighting those zombies desperately, he specially changed into a set of short and close-fitting linen clothes.
After filling my stomach, I filled the pot with water, took a breath and walked into the cave.
I spent all my strength to kill two zombies the day before yesterday. I wonder if I can kill a few more after death and rebirth.
After entering the cave, he still fell to the ground. According to the previous method, he chanted Buddhist scriptures in a low voice, and the next moment he was sent into the abyss by the magic circle.
Li Xiuyuan knew that there was something weird under the abyss, otherwise the old Taoist priest would not ask him to practice here again, but there was something he didn't understand. Why, after thousands of years, no disciple of Tianyun Mountain could enter here?
Could it be that because he has the body of a divine dragon, he can restrain the zombies here?
It’s just that the zombies in the abyss are not afraid of me, are they?
He lit the huozhezi and put the torch given to him by Meng Shentong on the incense burner.
He didn't stop to observe, but walked straight into the depths.
The abyss at this level is irregular, with overlapping detours and twists and turns that make it difficult to see the end.
He lowered his head slightly and walked silently, walking slowly on the passage paved with bluestones.
Boom boom, he not only heard his own footsteps, but also heard his own heartbeat.
Even though he had been here before, he still felt unspeakable fear when he came back today.
You must know that the human zombies here were monks who were much higher than themselves a thousand years ago, not to mention how far the zombies have evolved after thousands of years.
Seeing two pairs of green eyes staring at him not far from him... zombies, Li Xiuyuan screamed in fright.
In the winding passage, the zombies smelled Li Xiuyuan's scent...then they both jumped up, grinned and screamed strangely, and chased towards the place where Li Xiuyuan escaped.
Suddenly there were cool winds blowing all around, making a whistling sound, and there was an eerie and inexplicable smell.
Li Xiuyuan ran in front, and the zombies chased behind.
Li Xiuyuan's face didn't look as shocked as it did the day before. He wanted to try using the Samsara Sword in his hand to see if he could chop off the zombie's head with one sword.
After a life-and-death struggle that day, I finally realized that the weakest point of a zombie is its neck.
Looking back at the zombies one after another behind him, Li Xiuyuan turned a corner, looked at the passage he had run through, and silently clenched the Samsara Sword in his hand.
He must kill the two zombies that rush towards him in a short time, otherwise he will continue to run for his life.
Looking at the scene of zombies chasing after him... he thought of some possibility, cutting the snow with one sword, and then using another move to hide the dragon in the abyss.
Only then did he remember that he should find time to practice the third form of Shenlong Sword Technique.
Because Meng Shentong's star sword technique has not yet been passed on to him, because he has not yet been able to bring the stars into his body and complete the transformation of the star veins.
Standing silently at the corner of the passage, holding the Samsara Sword in his hands, he quietly felt the breath of change in the passage.
Closer, closer still.
Tap tap tap! The footsteps of zombies sounded in the passage.
Li Xiuyuan, who was holding his breath, rushed out of the passage at the moment when the zombies were about to rush over, and slashed out the Samsara Sword in his hand with the speed of cutting snow and rain!
This sword is a sword technique from Tianshan Mountain. It can cut the snow with one sword!
With one slash of the sword, the wind and snow will be cut off without mercy.
"Click!" a sound sounded!
The zombies that rushed forward rushed forward violently, just like the day before, they rushed forward two or three feet before they fell heavily to the ground.
But a head fell at the corner of the passage.
The Samsara Sword cut off the zombie's head in a weird arc.
It was unimaginable that the sword slashed out by Li Xiuyuan was horizontal, but it did not follow a straight line, but cut through an arc, severely cutting off the zombie's head.
Cut off the head with one sword, cut the snow with one sword!
Kicking the zombie's head away, Li Xiuyuan stared at the other zombie that was rushing towards him, roared and rushed towards it. At this time, he had to use the momentum of a hidden dragon in the abyss to fight quickly.
"Hooo!" The zombie groaned and grabbed Li Xiuyuan with both hands.
Li Xiuyuan lowered his body, trying to avoid the zombie's grasping hands... but unexpectedly he slipped and fell on the stone slab of the passage. Unfortunately, the zombies that rushed towards him were also knocked down by him, one for each zombie.
They hugged each other in an instant.
"Hooo!" The zombie holding Li Xiuyuan was overjoyed, roared, lowered his head, and bit Li Xiuyuan's neck.
Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation, this is Li Xiuyuan's thought at this time.
Between life and death, he put the Samsara Sword in his hand on his neck, twisted his body, and rolled to the side of the passage.
The zombie bit down on the Samsara Sword, then roared, pulled Li Xiuyuan back with one hand, and lowered his head to bite again.
At this time, Li Xiuyuan was face up, while the zombie lowered his head and bit down.
Li Xiuyuan, who did not let go of the Samsara Sword, roared and swung the Samsara Sword upwards with all his strength, but this time he slashed out while lying on the ground.
With a "ding!" sound, the Samsara Sword struck the zombie's neck, penetrating three-thirds of the flesh, but did not cut off its head.
The zombie didn't know the pain, so he hugged Li Xiuyuan and continued to bite him.
In desperation, Li Xiuyuan put his head on the zombie's neck, pulled out the Samsara Sword with all his strength, and cut off the zombie's head along the back of the head.
One sword, two swords, three swords... Li Xiuyuan, who was holding the zombie on his head, didn't know how many swords he had struck until the zombie's head rolled to his feet, until the zombie fell heavily beside him.
