Chapter 392 Behind the Gate of Life and Death
After Bai Ze confirmed that the second door was the living door, he was so excited that he jumped on the spot, wagging his tail like a rattle, and shouted excitedly:
"Ding Zhen, you are so awesome! You actually found the Shengmen! Come on in, we can finally get out of this hellish place!"
Its cat eyes shone with anticipation, as if it had seen the dawn of hope behind the door.
However, Yousu did not act immediately, but turned and walked towards the third door.
The third door is crystal clear, as if it is carved from the purest ice crystals, but it also gives people a very fragile and broken feeling. You Su slowly stretched out his hand and pressed it, as if he was feeling something.
When Bai Ze saw this, he couldn't help being stunned, and his heart was full of doubts:
"Ding Zhen, what are you doing? We have found all the students, why don't we go in?"
It tilted its head in confusion and scratched its head with its small paws, trying to clarify Yusu's thoughts.
"The Gate of Life and Death is a matter of life and death, we must act with caution."
He turned back and smiled at the kitten, with a hint of endearment and determination in his tone.
Bai Ze also showed a frightened expression when he heard this, and immediately looked at You Su with admiring eyes. Even its little brain figured out that You Su wanted to make sure nothing went wrong, and he really couldn't be too arbitrary in the face of life and death.
You Su looked a little pale at this time and rubbed his temples. Casting the Shadow Stream Technique twice in a row made him feel tired. If his consciousness wasn't different from ordinary people, he might have fainted long ago.
Bai Ze was about to speak but stopped when he saw a lifelike 'You Su' emerge from the side of You Su, like a layer of skin he had shed.
You Su took a long breath and slowly opened the third door. Just like before, it was full of darkness and the true face inside could not be seen at all.
Bai Ze was powerless to help with the matter of life and death within the Exploration Sect. He could only watch You Su nervously as he was concentrating on controlling the clone.
After a long time, You Su suddenly frowned and immediately stumbled back. Bai Ze rushed over nervously, but fortunately, You Su quickly stabilized himself.
"What's wrong with you?" Bai Ze moved vigorously, kicking off the wall and jumping onto You Su's shoulders.
You Su shook his head, "I'm fine."
"You should take a rest." Bai Ze sounded concerned.
Yusu smiled and flicked its head, but did not respond to the kitten's suggestion to let him rest. Bai Ze was a little angry at Yu Su's teasing. He jumped from Yu Su's right shoulder to his left shoulder, as if he was impatient.
"Behind this door is the door of death." Yousu said.
When Bai Ze heard this, his handsome face finally became angry again: "That's great! Then let's go through the second door!"
After saying that, it immediately jumped down, preparing to enter the door, but You Su still had no intention of entering the second door, so it urged:
"Why don't you leave? Aren't you most afraid of long nights and dreams? What if something happens again if you stay here?"
You Su shook his head: "Don't worry, this door of life and death looks absolutely extraordinary at first glance, how could it be so simple?"
Bai Ze frowned: "What do you mean?"
"The door of life and death must be a secret restriction used to screen those who enter. But if the door of life and death is always the same door in the middle, wouldn't it be passed down by word of mouth and everyone can enter this door of life and death? Then what else does this door of life and death have? "What's the purpose?" You Su said slowly, and then added, "Besides, when most people are indecisive, they tend to choose the middle door. The door in the middle is undoubtedly the most likely to be fooled. This should be contrary to the location of the door of life and death. The true meaning of this place.”
"So what you're saying is... the door to the living room might be this door sometimes and that door sometimes?"
"Exactly." You Su frowned in confusion.
"Then what should we do?" Bai Ze turned around in a circle, looking clueless.
"We won't know until I try the middle door again." You Su gestured to condense the Shadow Stream Technique again.
Seeing this, Bai Ze quickly jumped up and interrupted his spell casting, "You don't want to die? Look at how tired you are. Try again later."
You Su replied with a smile, "To avoid long nights and many dreams."
Bai Ze was so angry that his beard trembled, "Could it be that you think too much?"
"You think too simply. Seeing that the Lord of the Dragon Palace directed us here, there must be a deep meaning. Perhaps this is a test she deliberately gave us. Matters of life and death should not be taken lightly. You go to the side to look out and wait for my news. ”
Bai Ze scratched his head and ears, as if feeling angry that he was being slighted:
"Then if it is as you said, the door of life and death will change, how can we find the door of life before entering?"
"This is where the test lies. You get out of the way first and wait until I confirm whether it is still safe behind the second door."
You Su made a move to pick up the back of Bai Ze's neck and throw him aside.
Bai Ze nimbly dodged it and said angrily: "Why are you as timid as a mouse!"
You Su was slightly surprised, but then calmly replied: "Because I don't want to die, and I can't die either."
He walked forward, took a long breath again, and suddenly turned back and asked:
"It's you, weren't you frightened by this gate of life and death just now? Why are you so bold now?"
Bai Ze turned his head and said angrily like a angry child: "You are the only one who is great, I don't care!"
You Su knew that Bai Ze didn't want him to overdo the technique, but he didn't intend to give up. The situation was urgent at this time, and he was lucky enough to have this ability that was almost like a second life to try the gate of life and death. Otherwise, he could only make blind choices in front of the gate of life and death. He has never been a person who likes to leave his life to fate. people.
He closed his eyes again and concentrated on performing the spell. This time the shadow took much longer than before, obviously after a longer period of brewing.
You Su now has a deeper understanding of the nature of this shadow flow technique. It is said to be a shadow, but it is actually a part of the spiritual consciousness that has been materialized through the power of the Black Sea Moon. Although this ability is heaven-defying, in the final analysis it is still another self controlled by oneself.
When fighting with swords, he didn't need to specifically control it. The subconscious mind was enough to make the clone behave in the same way as he usually did, so he wasn't so tired at all. But at this time, you need to control him to perform specific behaviors, so it takes a lot of effort.
Like thousands of threads, You Su's consciousness slowly separated from his body and merged into the lifelike shadow. Immediately afterwards, he shared a new vision, which was already before the black curtain of the second door. The reason why he closed his eyes and performed the spell was precisely because he wanted to avoid confusion about the environment he was in, and this was also a major reason why he was particularly tired in the first two times.
"Yusu" cautiously stepped into the darkness like a night walker. It's a pity that the clone is still a clone after all, and the world he sees is all black and white. Because the essence of the clone is divine consciousness, and divine consciousness does not ignore the power of things, the surrounding environment is actually explored with his differentiated spiritual consciousness, and then embodied into a picture. Therefore, it is even less likely that he has hearing and perception. Therefore, You Su did not dare to judge easily whether there was any danger behind the door. And just when Yousu adapted to the clone's field of vision and tried to see clearly what was behind the door, a burst of rapid shouting suddenly woke him up from his wandering mind.
The voice was full of anxiety and panic. It was Bai Ze calling him: "You Su, wake up! Wake up!"
You Su opened his eyes suddenly. The first moment he returned to consciousness, he heard a huge roar. He suddenly looked back and saw that the tunnel made of ice crystals behind him had begun to collapse. Huge ice blocks fell from above, making a deafening roar. roar.
Those ice cubes hit the ground and splashed countless ice shards, like the most splendid fireworks in winter, breathtakingly beautiful. However, behind this beautiful scene is a fatal crisis, the collapsing ice channel is about to spread to their heads!
"Why did it suddenly collapse?!"
You Su's heart trembled, but there was no time for him to delve into the cause of the collapse of the ice tunnel. The situation was imminent. He knew that he had to make a decision immediately, otherwise even the chance of survival of the Gate of Life and Death would be lost.
He quickly withdrew his consciousness, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
He didn't have time to verify whether the second door was still safe, so he could only rely on his own intuition and judgment.
He took a deep breath, rushed towards Bai Ze and picked him up, while shouting loudly: "Don't run around!"
With that said, he dodged with Bai Ze to avoid a falling ice brick, and then rushed towards the first door without hesitation!
"Hey, hey, hey! Why is this the first door!" Bai Ze exclaimed in You Su's arms.
The latest chapter of this book
Take a look at the 16-9 book bar!
You Su didn't respond, but his eyes were extremely determined.
The door he first identified as the door to death became his last choice.
The moment You Su walked through the first door, he was extremely shocked by the sight in front of him.
Outside the door is still a cold world of ice and snow, but inside it seems to have stepped into purgatory. The raging fire was like a roaring sea, tongues of fire licking every inch of space, turning everything it touched into ashes. The scorching heat was like substantial waves, attacking him layer by layer, as if trying to engulf him.
You Su was wrapped in a thick winter coat. It was already unbearably hot, and now it was even more like being in a steamer. Sweat fell down his cheeks and soaked his clothes. He subconsciously wanted to take Bai Ze out of his arms for some air, but Bai Ze in his arms seemed to be frightened. He curled up tightly in his arms, motionless, and even his breathing became rapid and rapid. It was weak, obviously it was extremely uncomfortable due to the sudden high temperature.
After all, he is the spirit of the snow-capped mountains, how can he withstand such high temperatures.
You Su's heart tightened, and he couldn't think too much. He could only hug Bai Ze and run forward desperately, trying to escape from this purgatory where magma filled the ground and flames shot into the sky.
The ground under his feet seemed to be red-hot from the high temperature, and every step was like stepping on a red-hot iron plate. The hot pain shot straight from the soles of his feet to his forehead, forcing him to grit his teeth and endure the severe pain to continue moving forward.
The surrounding rock walls were twisted and deformed by the fierce fire, and magma spewed out from the cracks from time to time, like fire snakes, chasing You Su's footsteps. He could only dodge left and right, carefully avoiding these fatal attacks, and at the same time, he had to be alert to the falling flints above his head. Those flints traced fiery trajectories in the air, and then fell to the ground, splashing countless Mars, if you are not careful, you may be hit and cause fatal injuries.
However, just when You Su thought he was about to be swallowed up by the endless fire, a miracle happened!
You Su only felt a cool air coming from his face and instantly enveloped his whole body. The cool air was like a gentle breeze, blowing over his skin, taking away all the heat and pain, making his body that was originally overheated instantly become extremely comfortable.
He looked down at Bai Ze in surprise, and saw Bai Ze slowly opening his eyes, as if he had come to life.
At this moment, the scene ahead also changed rapidly. The originally burning fire seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force. The fire gradually weakened and its light became dim. Then it seemed as if the sky and the earth were hanging upside down, and turned into a bright cave full of ice and snow.
Yousu blinked in disbelief, thinking it was his imagination, but it was indeed the case.
He suddenly looked back and saw that there was no scene of raging fire. There was only a mountain wall covered with ice crystals, standing there quietly, as if all the burning was just an illusion.
The rapid changes in the surrounding environment in a short period of time made You Su feel that he had completed the transition from summer to winter in just an instant.
Only then did Bai Ze stick his head out from his arms, and when he saw the surrounding environment, he exclaimed:
"What...what's going on?"
Bai Ze was not as worried as You Su, and had no idea to delve into the reasons for the changes in the environment. Instead, he jumped out of You Su's arms and said in surprise:
"You are so awesome Ding Zhen! How do you know that the first door is the birth door?!"
You Su only came back to his senses at this time, but for some reason, there didn't seem to be much surprise on his face.
"Actually, I don't know either." You Su replied.
"You don't know?! Then how dare you rush in! This is the door of life and death!" Bai Ze looked frightened, but soon changed to a look of joy, and said with an air, "But fortunately, this divine beast is blessed. Do you know that I am so lucky because of you?”
You Su pursed his lips and looked around, as if he completely ignored Bai Ze's words.
"Let's move forward first."
With that said, You Su walked forward on his own. When Bai Ze saw this, he quickly followed him.
You Su and Bai Ze walked hard through the winding passages of the Ice Palace, and every step seemed to be stepping on the echo of time. The ice beads condensed on the ice wall shine with a faint blue light under the weak light, like stars falling into the world, or like the teardrops of ancient glaciers, telling the vicissitudes and silence of the years.
The chill in the passage was overwhelming, and you could feel the biting coldness with every breath you took. It was as if even the air was frozen, solidifying into invisible ice edges, cutting into their skin and making their movements stiffer and stiffer every time. Every step was like a silent fight against the cold.
Bai Ze unconsciously leaned towards You Su's legs, trying to attract the other party to hug him into his arms so that he could get some warmth. But You Su didn't seem to notice it and just kept walking.
Finally, the ice path took a turn.
After turning a corner, the sight in front of them shocked both You Su and Bai Ze so much that they were speechless.
The huge ice palace is filled with huge dark stones, rising from the ground like small mountain peaks, and looking like the bones of ancient giant beasts lying across it. The surface of these aphrodisiac stones is as smooth as a mirror, but it also has an inexplicable rough texture, as if it has been sharpened by countless years of wind, frost, rain and snow, but has become harder and harder under the precipitation of time. They stand quietly in the ice palace, exuding a solemn atmosphere that makes people feel awe.
Bai Ze's eyes widened and his tail waggled excitedly: "Wow, there are more big rocks here than at my house!"
However, Yousu remained silent, which made the atmosphere a little delicate.
Bai Ze raised his head and asked cautiously: "You Su, are you tired?"
You Su took a deep breath and spoke slowly, but his voice was extremely cold:
"What is the purpose of bringing me here?"
