Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 11: The old man under the willow tree

Before leaving, Qiu Shuijing told him that education was monopolized by the aristocracy, and it was impossible for poor scholars to compete with aristocratic children through official education.

Qiu Shuijing told him to have wildness.

The wildness that aristocratic children did not possess!

Entering that wonderful world through the Tianmen, although it was possible to encounter the attack of the Immortal Sword, as long as one was well prepared, one could reach the Immortal Map before the Immortal Sword arrived and obtain the martial arts one wanted!

Although there was a risk to life, isn't that the wildness that Mr. Shuijing was talking about?

The problem now is how to open the Tianmen again and enter that world?

"The key to opening the Tianmen is on the Baomian Chaotianque."

Su Yun pondered, thinking, "The Baomian Chaotianque absorbed my vitality, and then various divine beasts and strange beasts flew out from the Baomian Chaotianque and landed on the Tianmen. Perhaps I just need to use my own vitality to stimulate the Baomian Chaotianque again, and I can open the Tianmen and enter that world."

He did not try immediately. The world behind the Tianmen was mysterious, and the Immortal Sword might not have gone far. He had already obtained the higher-level Crocodile Dragon Song and did not need to enter the Tianmen again for the time being.

"Brother Hua, your left shoulder is one inch higher."

Outside Huqiu Village, Hua Hu and three little foxes were diligently practicing, their bodies like crocodile dragons, practicing the six moves of the Crocodile Dragon Song over and over again.

Su Yun stood by, although he could not see, he seemed to be able to see their movements and occasionally gave advice.

.

"Xiaofan, your waist muscles are too rigid when refining the dragon shape. Remember not to use your waist muscles for strength, but your spine."

"Qing Qiuyue, your Crocodile Dragon Abyssal Qi is not strong enough, it's too soft and lacks ferocity!"

Since he escaped from the Tianmen, nearly twenty days had passed. During this time, he taught the four thunder sounds of the Crocodile Dragon Song to Hua Hu and the others, claiming that it was passed down by Qiu Shuijing.

As for him opening the Tianmen and ascending to another world, he did not plan to tell Hua Hu.

After all, this matter was too bizarre and contained many secrets that made people tremble with fear.

For example, why did Qu Bo's physical body die in that world? Why did he risk his life to steal that strange picture?

Why could that strange picture complete martial arts and even surpass the original version of martial arts?

And where did that Immortal Sword come from?

If these strange things were spread, it might not be a good thing for Su Yun and the others.

"The fewer people who know about the world behind the door and that picture, the better. Brother Hua and the others don't know about this, and I am protecting them." Su Yun carefully sensed the movements of Hua Hu and the others, cultivating his own sensitivity to qi, and thought to himself.

Although he was young, years of living alone gave him a meticulous mind that his peers did not possess.

When a person's eyes cannot see, they will think more.

Treasures can arouse people's greed, especially treasures like the Immortal Picture.

In the past ten days, Hua Hu had also cultivated the second achievement of the Crocodile Dragon Song, and Li Xiaofan, Hu Buping, and Qing Qiuyue had all successfully cultivated the first achievement of the Crocodile Dragon Song.

And in the first part of the Honglu Shanchan, Hua Hu also successfully cultivated the third level, and the other three little foxes also each cultivated the second level, making rapid progress.It was only with Su Yun's teaching of the Four Great Thunder Sounds that their progress could be so rapid.

As for Su Yun himself, his progress during this period was even more astonishing!

Su Yun's elemental energy cultivation was becoming increasingly profound, and he had already reached the peak of the third level of the Hong Lu Transformations. There was a trend of breaking through to the fourth level.

The first level of the Hong Lu Transformations was to ignite the furnace within oneself, using oneself as the world.

The sign of having reached the second level was that the furnace flame had two layers of colors, with the first layer being purple and the second layer being red, hence the name "Double Flame."

The third level of the Hong Lu Transformations had an additional orange flame.

The fourth level had an additional yellow flame.

The fifth level had an additional white flame.

The sixth level had an additional blue flame.

After reaching the sixth level of the Hong Lu Transformations, one could enter the Yuan Dong realm.

Su Yun had "personally" witnessed the Heavenly Crocodile Tribulation, and the crocodile dragon he had imagined was even more real, powerful, and shocking than Hua Hu and the others. Therefore, his cultivation speed was faster.

Now, he was driving the Hong Lu Transformations, and the furnace flame had three levels of flame. His cultivation progress was even faster!

However, even if Su Yun had perfected the Six Crocodile Dragon Sounds, the shadow of that one sword would always appear in his mind.

That was the sword that killed the Heavenly Crocodile during the Tribulation!

That sword directly broke the Six Crocodile Dragon Sounds and killed the crocodile dragon, giving Su Yun an even greater shock than the Heavenly Crocodile Tribulation!

That sword kept appearing in his mind, and he couldn't shake it off.

Every time he made progress in his cultivation, the shadow of that sword would reappear, tormenting his soul. It seemed that a voice was telling him that no matter how perfectly he practiced the Six Crocodile Dragon Sounds, he could not escape that sword!

Sometimes, Su Yun would even wake up abruptly from his sleep, dreaming that he was using the Crocodile Dragon Sounds when that sudden sword cut off his head!

"Mr. Shuijing said that the Hong Lu Transformations is a foundation-building technique with only six levels. When I reach the sixth level, I can get rid of that sword in my eyes."

Su Yun thought to himself, "Tomorrow I will be able to refine the third level of the Hong Lu Transformations. By the end of the year, I will definitely be able to practice to the sixth level!"

His mood gradually stabilized, and he no longer thought about the matter of the Immortal Sword.

Qiu Shuijing had told him that foundation building was a hurdle for him. Once he crossed that hurdle, his eyes would be healed, and he could practice spiritual power and spiritual abilities like a normal person.

However, Su Yun had not thought that Qiu Shuijing had concealed something from him.

Qiu Shuijing had not told him that he had already refined his spiritual abilities.

The Yellow Bell was his spiritual ability, but when he refined it, he had not even reached the Yuan Dong or Yun Ling realms, let alone foundation building!

Qiu Shuijing valued him precisely because of this.

A blind youth, in the demon-infested Tian Shi Yuan, in the Tian Men Town where there were no living people except himself, not only survived for six years but also used his strong willpower to visualize his spiritual ability in six years!

Regardless of talent, this kind of perseverance was rare in the world!As the sky gradually darkened and the sun was about to set, Hua Hu and the three little foxes were tired from practicing and stopped to rest. Su Yun said to Hua Hu, "Hua Er Ge, the night market will open in Tian Shi Yuan tonight. Do you want to come with me?"

Hua Hu and the three little foxes shivered and shook their heads in a hurry.

Qing Qiuyue stood up like a squirrel and waved her fox tail. "Little Yun Ge, we won't go!"

"Well, there's nothing interesting at the night market, and people don't talk much."

Su Yun thought for a moment, then invited again, "Hu Qiu Village was destroyed, why don't you move to Tianmen Town and live with me? It's better to take care of each other."

The three little foxes turned to look at Hua Hu, who shook his head and refused.

Su Yun left alone and returned to Tianmen Town. The four fox demons stood up and watched the young blind man leave in the night. Li Xiaofan hesitated and said, "Second Brother, should we tell Little Yun Ge that he is the only human in Tianmen Town?"

Hua Hu shook his head. "Wild Fox Master instructed us not to tell Su Yun the truth about Tianmen Town. When Shui Jing came, he didn't tell him either. The truth is too cruel, and if we tell him, he may not be able to accept it. It's better for him to discover it himself."

The three little foxes nodded silently.

Hua Hu saw Su Yun walking alone and felt sorry for him, so he chased after him and said, "You three stay in the village, I'll accompany Little Yun to the...night market!"

The three little foxes tiptoed and looked around. Hu Buping said, "Will Hua Er Ge be eaten by ghosts and gods?"

The other two little foxes glared at him fiercely, and Hu Buping quickly apologized with his tail between his legs. "I'm just joking!"

"Hua Er Ge, let's go back to Tianmen Town first!"

Su Yun and Hua Hu walked past Huang Village and around Snake Gorge. Su Yun was excited and suggested, "I still have some treasures at home. Let's bring them to the night market. If we can't sell them, we can still look around the night market. I've never been to the night market before, maybe we can buy some good things."

Hua Hu's face turned pale, and he tried to keep his voice calm. "Little Yun, what good things can you have at home? Let's just go straight to the night market and not go to that...Tianmen Town."

Su Yun thought for a moment and smiled. "I've been selling things for years and haven't sold anything. I guess the things at my home aren't good. Never mind, let's go straight to the night market!"

He pointed ahead. "Er Ge, the house under the willow tree in front is Uncle Cen's house! Uncle Cen is a very good person and he's always waiting for me at this time! Can you see him?"

Hua Hu looked into the distance and saw only a small barren grave under the crooked-necked willow tree. In addition, there was an old man hanging from the tree, swaying in the wind with his limbs hanging down.

"I can see him..." Hua Hu's teeth chattered loudly as he hugged his tail and followed Su Yun unsteadily.

"Cen Bo, Cen Bo!"

Su Yun called from afar, "I've brought a friend!"

(Translated by: Lanny Lin)Hua Hu stuffed her tail into her mouth to prevent herself from making any noise. She followed Su Yun, one foot after the other, thinking to herself, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I'm a monster, monsters aren't afraid of ghosts and gods..."

A crescent moon appeared in the night sky, its light hazy. Hua Hu saw the old man under the crooked-necked willow tree from afar. He pulled his neck out of the rope and floated down to the small grave underneath without making any sound.

Hua Hu's heart was pounding as she followed Su Yun to the willow tree.

Although Su Yun couldn't see, he seemed to have seen the old man sitting on the grave. He bowed and said, "Uncle Cen."

Uncle Cen's eyes glowed green in the darkness, staring at Hua Hu behind Su Yun like a ghost fire in the graveyard.

Hua Hu held her tail and bit it hard, almost fainting.

"It's Xiaoyun."

Uncle Cen's voice was cold and indifferent, as if he was rejecting someone from a thousand miles away. He said, "You're a bit late today. Since you're here, what gift did you bring..."

Thud.

Hua Hu fell to the ground, unconscious, still clutching her tail as her limbs convulsed.
