Chapter 73 (Seventy-three) Desperate Situation
While hesitating, Yan Moying saw the words on the stone tablet changing again: "Don't miss this opportunity, it will never come again; if you are a moment too late, it will be too late to regret it!" Seeing this sentence, he suddenly understood that this was a good opportunity. If he misses it, , maybe he wouldn't be able to reach Guiying Peak, so he didn't say anything, no longer thought about it, jumped over the stone monument, and walked towards the clouds and mist.
As soon as he was in the clouds and mist, he immediately felt his body sinking into the deep chasm, and felt bad, but there was a belief that supported him to stand firm and move forward. He practiced Qi Yun Gong to steady himself, and sure enough, he didn't fall, nor did he fall directly into the abyss, but his feet were soft and his body was slowly sinking. However, such a slow sinking was enough to make people despair. The clouds and mist gradually covered his knees, waist, and chest... getting lower and lower. He felt a little tight in his chest and it became more and more difficult to breathe, but he always kept moving forward. Go, walking hard. When he reached the ninth step, the mist had already covered his nose and was about to cover his eyes. He felt as if he was suffocated. His body was extremely uncomfortable, and he felt as if he was about to explode. He had a splitting headache and was about to give up due to persistence. He couldn't stand and fell to the ground. At this time, an ominous premonition naturally came to his mind - he might be about to be buried here. However, at the same time, what arises spontaneously is the infinite strength and courage in my heart - don't think about the past or the future, put everything aside and take the last step! These two thoughts occurred almost at the same time, and even he himself had no time to sort out such thoughts. He only knew that at this moment, he had exhausted all his strength - it seemed to be his last strength - and took the tenth step with difficulty! When the clouds and mist reached his lower eyelids, he took the tenth step!
In an instant, he felt something under his feet quickly lift him up until the clouds and mist could only reach the height of his ankles. In an instant, he not only felt refreshed, his breathing was extremely smooth, and his inner strength was deeper than before. Even his eyes suddenly became brighter, and the night turned into day in an instant! I saw the mountain peaks over there standing tall in the sky-blue world, giving people a feeling of stability and peace. Going through this process, he felt like he was reborn after a painful struggle. Breathing freely turned out to be such a happy thing.
Looking down at his feet, he saw that what was holding him up turned out to be a white stone bridge. There seemed to be a rainbow at the end in front of the stone bridge. Although the rainbow was not very long, it was in the shape of an arched door, showing the color of life.
On both sides of the stone bridge are clear rivers. The slow flowing water sings softly and creates slight ripples. The water looks very deep and clear, as deep as the true feelings revealed from the bottom of the heart in the eyes of lovers when they look at each other, and as clear as a heart without complicated thoughts. There are no fish in the water, and there is no reflection of the surrounding scenery. It is always flowing slowly and persistently in one direction. Looking from a distance, it's hazy, and you can't see the river's distant past or long time to come. You don't know where the source of such a river is, and you don't know where it is going. You just watch it flow under the bridge you are standing on. Bring nothing, leave nothing, and take nothing away. It is so clear.
Yan Moying walked to the other end of the bridge and passed through the rainbow arch.
There was a burst of birds chirping and the fragrance of flowers ahead, and there was greenery all around. Although there was no one around, Yan Moying did not feel lack of vitality at all in this sunny world. (End of chapter)
