Luo Fu Chapter 40: Cruel
Chapter 40 Cruel
Wearing a purple Taoist robe, Yu Ruochen, whose hair was casually tied behind his head with a black ribbon, stood quietly on a huge field.
The ground of this flat site with a radius of hundreds of feet seems to be entirely made of gold and iron. .
The height of the terrain here is almost exactly at the same level as the sea of clouds, so that every inch of the ground is floating with a faint mist like a white veil.
The entire square was empty except for Yu Ruochen standing quietly. But around the square, there is a huge square tripod every twenty feet, and light smoke is lit in the tripod, the smell is fragrant and the smoke is lingering.
Due north of the square is a hundred-level staircase, which is also made of gold and iron. There are deep grooves on each level to prevent slipping and guide water. Above the hundred-level staircase is a main building. For the palace of vermilion, huge red and vermilion pillars support the cornices of black glaze, vermilion and black, and the front of the vermilion-dominated palace is all white. The second half of the temple is submerged in the canyon. Against the background of the steep canyons on both sides, the temple is like a pearl in a clam shell, a thin The waterfall sprays down from the gorge wall on one side, adding a bit of agility to the palace.
Although this palace is not as grand and magnificent as the giant palace in the belly of Luofu Mountain, it still looks extremely delicate and gorgeous.
Yu Ruochen stood motionless on the square made of gold and iron, and gradually became one with the twilight of the entire Shu Mountain world, regardless of each other. It's as if the whole person is integrated into the surrounding world.
Heaven and man are one.
Yu Ruochen, who couldn't see the slightest mana fluctuations all over his body, also entered the realm of harmony between man and nature.
Suddenly, a red line rushed into the sky in the distance, and spread out into dozens of red rays. That was the flying flame talisman cast by Dan Lingsheng to call his disciples back to gather.
Yu Ruochen raised his head slightly suddenly, looking at the scattered glow.
With a slight movement, Yu Ruochen broke away from the surrounding world.
The realm of the unity of man and nature has been broken.
"Yuan Tianyi surpassed my current realm thirty years ago, and I'm still not as good as him." Yu Ruochen, who quietly looked at the glow, sighed slowly.
A bright sword light suddenly rushed from the direction of Tianzhu Peak, and fell far to Yu Ruochen's lower head in the square.
"Master!"
Wearing a black robe, the visitor saluted Yu Ruochen, but it was Duan Tianya with the usual cold face.
"Do you think this method is too cruel for them?" Yu Ruochen nodded to Duan Tianya and said suddenly.
"Uncle, do you already know my reason for coming?" Duan Tianya nodded, and said silently: "No one has faults, they have not been tempered, it is normal to be greedy for life and fear of death, maybe given a chance, they can also become The backbone of Shushan."
"Of course it's good for you to say that." Yu Ruochen looked at Duan Tianya gently, and then at the Shu Mountain shrouded in twilight, "Yuan Tianyi died in Kunlun, and even the Chile Sect opened The Great Brahma Mandala Wall, in order to protect itself. Kunlun has made another move in the past few days. It has recruited more disciples since yesterday, and sent hundreds of elite disciples to experience the world. Although I don’t know why, a big change has been made. My Shushan is already on the cusp , it is not because we are cruel, but because of the general trend of the world, we have no choice but to do so.”
Although Yu Ruochen's voice was gentle and flat, Duan Tianya could hear that it was full of brutal killings. Duan Tianya was still silent, but he couldn't help clenching his fists slightly.
"There are still a few days until the Sword Recognition Conference." Yu Ruochen suddenly smiled, looking at the empty square, "When the time comes, this place will be full of my Shushan disciples again, I don't know Will anyone surprise us this time?"
After a pause, Yu Ruochen smiled again and said, "Every year, we in Shushan will usher in such a day, I just hope that every year I can stand here and watch such a day."
In the night, looking around, the sky in the distance is full of wind and clouds.

"Where am I?"
Luo Bei suddenly sat up.
A ray of light sunlight penetrated through the black-painted window lattice, and it was already early morning.
"Where is that black-robed strange man named Lu Yu? Could it be that Master Dan Lingsheng and the others saved me?"
Full of surprise, Luo Bei looked at this empty room with only a bluish-yellow soft mat made of unknown grass and a plate of purple incense burning. He pushed open the window in front of him, But he was taken aback again.
Outside the window, there is a thick sea of clouds!
The room where Luobei is located is actually on a cliff that hangs out in the air! Outside the window is the abyss!
With a "creak", Luo Bei pushed open the door of this room.
Outside the door is a yard with a radius of more than ten feet. The ground of the yard is a natural flat rock.
The courtyard is surrounded by rooms like the one where Luobei is located, overlapping and overlapping, with a total of five floors.
The five-storied buildings around are all simple and heavy. On the heavy building facing a black gate, there is a plaque about four feet long.
"Tao follows nature"
Four wild cursive characters flew out like a broken plaque.
Dan Lingsheng stood in the middle of the four buildings, in the middle of the courtyard.
Dan Lingsheng's face with terrifying scars still looks shocking, making people feel chills, but there seems to be a hint of warmth in his eyes.
"Picking beans?"
When Luo Bei pushed open the door, he stared blankly at the place before him that he had never been before. Cai Shu of "color" also looked at himself with the same eyes.
"Uncle Dan Lingsheng, what's going on, I met a black-robed strange man on Tianzhu Peak, and he said that he is Lu Yu from Beiyin Mountain..."
Luo Bei, who was in the room on the ground floor, came out, and then asked Dan Lingsheng who was standing not far from him.
But Dan Lingsheng just waved his hand, telling Luo Bei not to say much.
Standing in the morning sun, Luobei and Caishu couldn't help but glanced at each other. At this moment, the doors of the surrounding rooms opened one after another, and in some of the rooms that hadn't been opened, there was a sound. A nightmarish exclamation.
"Brother Lin Hang!"
Among the people who came out, Luobei saw Lin Hang with a pale face at a glance, and couldn't help but hold Lin Hang, and asked secretly, "Brother Lin Hang, what happened?" something?"
"No... I don't know..." Lin Hang was a little surprised, but also shook his head in a daze, and stammered the explanation, "I... I... I met a person at Tianzhu Peak, He said he was from the Beiyin Gate..."
"What, you also met Beiyin Gate?!"
Although Lin Hang stuttered, it was as if a gunpowder barrel exploded in the hearts of Luobei and Caishu who heard it!
"What's going on?!" Luo Bei couldn't help turning around suddenly, and asked Dan Lingsheng loudly.
The sound was so harsh that it attracted everyone's attention, and they all focused on Dan Lingsheng and Luo Bei.
"If you are not stupid, you should have figured it out by now." Dan Lingsheng just glanced at Luobei, then lowered his eyes, and said calmly, "How can people from Beiyinmen sneak into Shushan. This so-called North Yin Gate is just a test for you."
With a bang, there was an uproar!
Looking around and looking at the expressions on other people's faces, Luo Bei knew that they must have met the so-called Lu Yu from the Beiyin Gate just like himself.
"What will happen to those who have not passed the test?" Suddenly someone couldn't help but ask, Luo Bei's eyes swept over, and it was Ling Dongshan who was also pale.
"He also didn't agree to poison Dan Lingsheng. It is obvious that Senior Brother Lin Hang is here..."
As soon as this idea came to Luobei's mind, Dan Lingsheng said coldly, "Those who have not passed the test will not be Shushan disciples from today on."
"Expelled directly!"
Luobei's fist tightened suddenly, at this moment all the people had gathered, but he saw that including himself, there were only six people left, not even Zixuangu among them.
The fate of these people can be imagined.
"Is this punishment too severe?" Luo Bei couldn't help but looked at Dan Lingsheng and asked.
"Too heavy?" Danling said silently without raising his head, "Why are you here and they aren't? Yesterday you were familiar with the laws and regulations of Mount Shu. Don't you know that everything is greedy for profit and participates in harming fellow disciples?" Everything about it is a taboo in Shushan?"
Luo Bei was speechless.
Indeed, he couldn't find any reason to refute Dan Lingsheng. But his chest couldn't help but feel a little empty.
Because he is also like Duan Tianya who pleaded with Yu Ruochen ~IndoMTL.com~ suddenly felt that although some people were wrong, they should be given another chance.
"It's a good thing to have a kind heart."
Dan Lingsheng's eyes swept across Luo Bei's face again, and the voice without the slightest emotion sounded again, "But you have practiced for a long time and have experienced it, and you will know that cultivating the Tao is not Flying around in the sky with the sword light at will! Shushan has achieved today, do you know how many seniors have died for it! Sometimes it is just a single-minded mistake, and it will be forever!"
"Those who pass the trial this time will be awarded the "Da Dao Zhi Zhi Cui Xu Jue", my Shushan sword art is unparalleled in the world, and "The Dao Zhi Zhi Cui Xu Jue" is the foundation."
"The pills you have taken this time are not erysipelas, but the real Yu Ning Dan. The last medicinal herb of Yu Ning Dan is hard to find. In general, stick to your heart, otherwise, even if you learn my Shushan formula, you will go astray! It is a waste of my Shushan teaching, a waste of my Shushan elixir!"
"Luobei" watched Dan Lingsheng take out from his bosom the volume of black leather classics that Luobei had seen in "Luyu" before, spread out the words on it that directly pointed to Cuixu Jue, stood Cai Shu who was beside Luo Bei suddenly asked Luo Bei softly, "One day, if someone "forces" you to kill me like Lu Yu, will you agree?"
Luo Bei was startled, then shook his head, "Of course not."
On the way to ask him this question, the corner of Caishu's mouth, which had never turned to look at him, showed a smile at this moment, and said softly, "Me neither."
