When I was a Taoist

Chapter 658 Sharpening
"Is this the real Fangcun Mountain?" I looked at the boulder in front of me, and couldn't help feeling a sense of excitement and awe in my heart.

"No, Fangcun Mountain is actually the mountain you saw outside. This is another space. To be precise, it should be called Samsung Cave."

Shangguanmu shook his head, and said: "There are so many ancient legends, but I don't know that the exact location of those legends is in Sanxing Cave, not Fangcun Mountain. And this secret, until now, not many outsiders know. Little guy, in the future you You must keep it a secret, otherwise the people here will silence you at any time."

I quickly covered my mouth, shook my head and swore that I would not talk nonsense.

Shangguanmu couldn't help laughing, and then said: "Come with me, don't intrude. It's an exception for me to bring you in. If you anger the seniors here, no one can say no." Get them to rescue you."

Walking carefully behind Shangguanmu, this place is almost exactly the same as the outside world, with singing birds and fragrant flowers, high mountains and flowing water, it is a rare and rare paradise.Although Shangguanmu told me that this is another space, I still couldn't hold back my curiosity and asked: "Senior, is this an independent space, or is it just hidden within the square inch mountain?"

"You came through the passage just now, don't you know the answer?"

Shangguanmu asked back, and then slowly said: "You don't understand those things I tell you now, and you will naturally know in the future. But I can tell you now that this is no longer the space we live in. It's like the world It is completely different from the underworld, and it is impossible for ordinary people to shuttle back and forth between the two spaces. It is the same here, only those who know the entrance of the passage and are allowed to come here. With you, you still can't come in."

While talking, we have come to a magnificent tower.After the two towers on the left and right, there are countless steps leading directly to the clouds above the head.

"There are a total of 99 steps here. If you don't have the perseverance to climb these steps, even if you are a Da Luo Immortal, you don't even think you are qualified to step into the Three Star Cave."

As soon as Shangguanmu finished speaking, I nodded and said confidently: "Senior, don't worry, since you have worked so hard to bring me here, how could I give it to you? It would be embarrassing to give it to us! Even if it is [-] a step, and I will climb it too!"

After finishing speaking, I had just stepped onto the first step when a thunderbolt suddenly fell from the sky and hit me directly in front of me, less than half a meter away from me!I was startled, subconsciously took two steps back.On the other hand, Shangguanmu's face was solemn, he cupped his hands towards the clouds above his head, and said in a deep voice: "Seniors, this junior knows that this time he broke the rules and shouldn't bring unauthorized outsiders up the mountain. But Dazhi is my apprentice, All his cultivation has been sealed now, and only the seniors in the Three Star Cave can crack it. If the seniors are willing to help, Shangguanmu is willing to go through fire and water for the Three Star Cave in the future!"

"Boy Shangguan, you clearly know that our rules are going to be broken, and you really don't give us old bones any face."

Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from above my head, directly descending on me with a thick wia.I just felt as if I was being pressed on my body by a sandbag weighing several hundred kilograms, and I gradually bent down, and my legs couldn't help shaking.But I knew that this was their test for me. In order to let them make a move and not to embarrass Shangguanmu, I gritted my teeth and carried it down. Even though the weight on my body was getting heavier, I didn't say a word of begging for mercy.

Shangguanmu took a deep breath and said: "This time there is a reason for the incident, and this junior has no choice but to break the precept. If there is a punishment, let me, the master, take the punishment."

After finishing speaking, Shangguan Mu raised his hand and patted his chest.Although I couldn't look up to see his condition, I saw him spit out a big mouthful of blood and splashed on the ground.I couldn't bear the pain in my heart, and said in a hoarse voice: "Senior, don't do this for me. This is all my business, and it should be resolved by myself."

"Shut up, apologize to seniors!" Shangguanmu's voice was still cold, and he shouted at me.

"There's no need to apologize, your apprentice didn't do anything wrong, but apologizing would make us seem unreasonable."

The voice spoke again, and said slowly: "You know how much we value you, but this is not a reason for you to break the rules. Well, we are not heartless people, it's just that Sanxing Cave hid from the world hundreds of years ago It's fixed, only the people we like are eligible to enter and leave. If this little guy shows the capital we can like, of course what happened today will be past the past, and I can also consider unlocking the seal in his body."

After hearing these words, the light of hope flashed in my eyes, and the weight on my back seemed to be much lighter.However, Shangguanmu's mood didn't seem to be so joyful. Instead, he smiled wryly and said to me in a low voice: "Dazhi, I'm the one who hurt you. I may not be able to help you in the future. No matter what happens, I can only rely on you." Went in by myself."

After finishing speaking, Shangguan Mu took a few steps back and said, "Seniors, please test, success or failure is his own fate, I will never force it."

"Don't worry, we are not unreasonable old monsters."

The voice came again, and then asked again: "Are you ready?"

I knew this was asking me, so I nodded quickly and said in a deep voice, "Please enlighten me, seniors!"

"It's not teaching, but tempering."

This sentence made me a little puzzled, but soon I didn't have the time to think about it, because I found that the weight on my back suddenly increased a lot.I didn't pay attention, and I staggered, and my legs gave way and I almost fell to the ground.

When I barely stood still, the voice sounded slowly again: "The next thing you have to do is to kneel under the steps with this weight on your back until tomorrow's dusk. No rest or movement is allowed in the middle." Otherwise, go back wherever you came from.”

This is the first time I have heard such a strict requirement!Although I don't know why there is such a terrible weight on my back, what I know now is that if I kneel in this state for a day and a night, the whole person will definitely be disabled!
And more importantly, how could I kneel inexplicably in such a place!Until now, only my parents and master are qualified to let me prostrate three times and nine times!
