Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 146: The period of land reclamation

Ye Luo told him that Tongtian Pavilion was a mysterious sect established by disciples of Lou Ban after his death, and they sought to have Lou Ban posthumously recognized as a saint.

Ye Luo also said that Tongtian Pavilion had a concept of building a bridge to the sky, to the immortal realm.

At the time, Su Yun didn't take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, the people from Tongtian Pavilion actually came to him, and even called him the Pavilion Master!

He just took a box from Lou Ban and helped him fulfill a wish, so how could he be the Pavilion Master?

Su Yun handed the wooden box to the dumb senior brother and said with a smile, "Lou Ban was my friend, and it's only natural for me to help him. Since this wooden box is something that only the Pavilion Master of Tongtian Pavilion can use, I'll return it to you today and you can choose another Pavilion Master."

The young man was stunned and said, "Don't you want the key? Do you know how important this key is?"

Su Yun shook his head and said, "It wasn't mine to begin with. I only took it to help. Since the key is so important to you, you should take it back."

The dumb senior brother held the wooden box, looking a bit lost.

The young man looked at the wooden box, his face uncertain, and wanted to take it, but hesitated. He chuckled and said, "The key of the great sages and teachers of the past, and you don't want it, I..."

He trembled as he reached out to grab the wooden box, but his fingers suddenly recoiled before touching it.

Su Yun said with a smile, "Since the box has been returned to Tongtian Pavilion, my responsibility is over. Please send me back to Wen Chang Academy, by the way."

He suddenly remembered something and said, "The Tong family in Shuofang took away some of the disaster dust monsters. These monsters may come back at any time, and the god king who rescues them..."

Suddenly, the young man seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth and grabbed the wooden box, and handed it back to Su Yun, saying in a deep voice, "Since Lou Ban has already chosen the next Pavilion Master, then you are the Pavilion Master. Only if you are not kind enough or die can we choose another Pavilion Master!"

Su Yun was taken aback.

Ying Ying on his shoulder whispered, "Su Scholar, I think this key may not be a good thing. Either the key is extremely dangerous, or the position of the Tongtian Pavilion Master is extremely dangerous."

Su Yun was alert.

The young man looked at Ying Ying and said in surprise, "So it's Miss Ying Ying. When did you leave the Wen Yuan Ge and the Tian Dao Yuan?"

Although he said so, he whispered to the dumb senior brother, "Senior Brother, she is the book monster of Tian Dao Yuan. Our Tongtian Pavilion's affairs must not be leaked out. We'll silence her later."

The dumb senior brother nodded quickly.

Ying Ying said angrily, "Bu Qiu Rong, I heard everything you said! I even helped you find books when you entered the Wen Yuan Ge!"

"Miss Ying Ying, I was just joking." Bu Qiu Rong finished speaking, made a gesture, and quietly wiped his neck with his hand.

Ying Ying stood up from Su Yun's shoulder, clenched her fists, and said angrily, "Bu Qiu Rong, I saw everything!"

Bu Qiu Rong made a gesture of invitation. Su Yun walked out of the small building, and Bu Qiu Rong led the way. He saw that there was a passage in the disaster dust mountain that led to the interior of the mountain.

Last time during the turmoil in the disaster dust city, Su Yun used the wooden box to control the dust curtain sky, mobilized the power of the great saint spirit soldiers, and cut off the disaster dust mountain, burying the god king's palace inside the mountain.

Unexpectedly, the mountain was opened up again so quickly.The youth walked ahead, seemingly walking in the air, with stone steps constantly flying towards him and appearing under his feet. Su Yun followed him, and the steps flew with his footsteps, disappearing when he moved his feet and reappearing when he landed.

Ying Ying, the book monster, stood on Su Yun's shoulder, sneering and saying, "The study of architecture is nothing special." Su Yun smiled and lifted her up, placing her in the air. Ying Ying ran in the air, with small steps constantly appearing under her feet, supporting her movements and preventing her from falling.

"The Master probably doesn't know the origin of the Tongtian Tower," said the youth, Bu Qiu Rong. "The Tongtian Tower was built during the period of development, when civilization had just emerged on the earth of Yuan Shuo, cities had appeared, but there was no unified empire, and there was not even an emperor. At that time, something happened. Do you know what it was?" Su Yun shook his head.

"At that time, there was a piece of land from outside of the world that fell onto Yuan Shuo, which is now known as the Tian Shi Yuan. Because it came from the position of the Tian Shi Yuan star field, it was called the Tian Shi Yuan. In addition to this reason, it is said that people at that time saw another strange sight."

Ying Ying didn't know much about this and stopped to draw and write in her book. "Those people saw another world outside of the world, and the fallen Tian Shi Yuan was a city in that world, so people called it the Tian Shi Yuan. The meaning of Tian Shi Yuan is a city in the sky."

"And that world outside is called the fairy world. Unfortunately, the appearance of the fairy world was very short-lived, and it disappeared as soon as it appeared. At that time, many strong people tried to rush into the fairy world, but these people disappeared without a trace. Later, people saw their spirits in the ghost market of the Tian Shi Yuan."

Su Yun suddenly felt a creepy feeling. The people who rushed towards the fairy world disappeared, and when they were seen again, they were already ghosts in the ghost market.

"At that time, the smartest spiritual masters formed the Tongtian Tower in an attempt to explore the secrets of the fairy world, thus it was called the Tongtian Tower. Later..." They arrived at the interior of the Jie Hui Mountain, where several strange people with covered faces stood in front of a wall, waiting silently.

"After Yuan Shuo unified, a great emperor of Yuan Shuo went on an expedition overseas and saw the barbarians living in caves and trees, which made him lose interest and return. However, the spiritual masters of the Tongtian Tower also followed the army to the sea and discovered the first Jie Hui City underground."

"There is also a Jie Hui City overseas?" Su Yun was surprised.

"After the Tongtian Tower discovered that Jie Hui City, they tried to explore its secrets and accidentally alarmed the underground Jie Hui monsters, and then they discovered more secrets." Bu Qiu Rong stood in front of the dusty sky and stopped, saying, "If you want to know this secret, you have to become the master of the Tongtian Tower."

Dumb Senior Brother had already come to the wall and smiled, waving at Su Yun and the others. Dumbly, Su Yun felt the eyes of those strange people with covered faces fall on him.Ying Ying stopped recording, stood up, and whispered in Su Yun's ear, "He said so much just to tempt you to agree to become the master of the Tongtian Pavilion. If there were any benefits to becoming the master of the Tongtian Pavilion, they wouldn't bury the key with the floor panel, and they wouldn't wait so many years to select a master."

Su Yun coughed and asked tentatively, "Hasn't the Tongtian Pavilion selected a master in these years since the death of the floor panel friend? "

"We have."

The young man Bu Qiurong sighed and said, "After the floor panel master died, we buried the key and selected the smartest young people from all over Yuanshuo and sent them to the Tianmen Ghost Market. But none of them were qualified. In the first year, we sent forty-two young people to the ghost market. These forty-two people included sixteen from the Yuanshuo Academy, and the other twenty-seven were from the people or overseas."

At this time, another voice came, whispering, "To become the master of the pavilion, you must pass the tests of the previous masters. The masters of the Tongtian Pavilion are all geniuses with extraordinary wisdom. The tests of the previous masters are not easy, so it is natural that the scholars of the Tian Dao Academy cannot meet the standards of the previous masters."

Su Yun looked at the person and remembered his voice.

Bu Qiurong continued, "Naturally, we can't just accept anyone to be the master of the Tongtian Pavilion. Ten years later, the Tongtian Pavilion selected another group of young talents to enter the ghost market, but..."

Su Yun frowned and asked tentatively, "But none of them were selected?"

Bu Qiurong frowned and shook his head, "No. The Tongtian Pavilion selected a new master. This generation of the master was extremely talented and wise, even more so than the previous masters! However, foreign countries overseas attacked Yuanshuo, and the young master participated in the war and died..."

Outside the dust curtain sky, everyone in the Tongtian Pavilion fell silent.

Bu Qiurong said, "The last time we selected was ten years ago, and we sent another group of young talents to the ghost market. But no one could match the last master's extraordinary talent. From then until now, the Tongtian Pavilion has not selected a new master. Until last year, when we offered incense to the floor panel master, he said he had selected a new master."

The book monster Ying Ying whispered in Su Yun's ear, "Did you pass the exam from the master of the pavilion?"

Su Yun shook his head and whispered, "No."

The book monster Ying Ying was puzzled, "Then why did the floor panel say you were the new master he selected? What if the previous masters don't recognize you?"

"The floor panel said that all the previous masters had nodded in agreement."

Bu Qiurong looked at Su Yun and said in a deep voice, "All the masters in the ghost market have tested you and are very satisfied with you. And the floor panel master was the last one to nod."

Su Yun's heart shook, and he remembered the stall owners in the Tianmen Ghost Market.

Could it be that many of these stall owners were masters of the Tongtian Pavilion?

But where did their tests come from?

At that time, he was just a blind boy, climbing the fairy rope day after day, year after year, and setting up a stall in the ghost market, hoping for a chance to see the light again.

Su Yun didn't remember going through any tests.

"I am not your master."

Su Yun put the wooden box in front of the dust curtain sky and shook his head, "I just became friends with the previous masters and set up a stall with them. You should choose a better master. I don't think I have the qualifications or talent for it."

He took a few steps back, turned around, and walked away.

"If you don't agree, the entire Shuofang will become a disaster area!" Bu Qiurong shouted after him.
