C109

< p > Dusk, Setting Sun.

A carriage was speeding down the alleyway.

The carriage was piled with thick blankets, so many that the shaking of the carriage didn't seem to have any effect on the people inside.

An old man with a head full of white hair lifted the curtain to look at the mountain. Beside him lay a young man dressed in fine clothes.

The young man lay there quietly. It was unknown when he had woken up, but when he woke up, he was already on the carriage.

The young man stared absentmindedly at the roof of the carriage. The deep autumn mountains outside the window did not attract the slightest bit of attention.

The wheels rolled past the potholes, and a strong jolt passed through the layers of quilts, causing the young man to feel pain. "Old Doctor Wu, where are we going?"

< p > "You're awake?"

Wu Zhi closed the curtain and returned to Xie E's side, "How are you right now? Is there anything wrong? "

Xie E straightened his body and looked at the pile of blankets beneath him, then looked at Wu Zhi with gratitude. "I'm fine now, thank you so much Imperial Physician."

Wu Zhi let out a long sigh, "Ai, it's such a pity that you suffered such an evil scheme while empty-handed using all your skills."

Wu Zhi had always been straightforward with Xie E, but now that Xie E's mental state had been damaged, Wu Zhi felt that there was no need to hide his words even more.

Xie E laughed bitterly: "I understand the old imperial physician's intentions. Things have already come to this point, I, Xie, have already resigned myself to my fate."

Wu Zhi nodded his head, "It's rare for you to have such a peaceful attitude right now. You don't seem like an ignorant youth who has just started to talk about worldly affairs at all."

< p > "..."

Xie E continued to smile bitterly, how could the so-called revolutionary optimism, the so-called Q spirit, be so clear about it with just a few words with Wu Zhi in front of him?

"I, Xie, have been an orphan since I was a child. I'm used to this kind of sloppiness, but I didn't expect myself to end up like this. Everything was up to fate. The boat would naturally go straight to the end of the bridge. "But, hey!"

Wu Zhi patted Xie E's shoulder. He had wanted to tell Xie E that there was still hope, but if he couldn't even save Huang shang, it would only add to his sadness.

After about four hours, the carriage stopped at the foot of a mountain.

Wu Zhi helped Xie E out of the car, and turned to instruct the coachman, "Go back first, come pick us up here in ten days."

Yes, sir," the groom responded. He turned his horse around and was about to leave.

< p > "Wait!"

Xie E called out to the coachman, "This big brother here will help me inform the Ninth Prince, and ask him to take care of Taibai House for me.

< p > "Save it!"

the groom sang, and raised his whip. "Go! "Giddy up!"

They disappeared into the distance.

Xie E turned around and looked up a high mountain. He was puzzled to see that the mountain was precipitous, towering into the clouds, and so tall that one could not see the top.

"Where is this place?"

"Mo Tianya.

Wu Zhi's expression turned serious, he straightened his clothes, and became extremely serious.

"Mo Tian Cliff?"

Xie E had indeed heard someone mention it before in the palace, but most of them were mentioned by ordinary guards or eunuchs, all of them keeping it a secret.

Xie E had also asked the two princesses of the Zhao Family before. Zhao Zhen and Zhao Ju only knew that there was an omnipotent super existence on the Mo Tian Cliff, but other than that, there was no other information.

And now, Wu Zhi had actually brought him to the Mo Tian Cliff. Xie E's heart trembled, following Wu Zhi's respectful gesture, the two of them slowly went up the mountain.

No one had a clue as to how high his Mo Tian Cliff was. Even Wu Zhi had never truly reached the top of the Mo Tian Cliff, and had only paid respects to Huang shang once halfway up the mountain.

The Mo Tian Cliff were separated into three stages, which were the Heaven Smiting Stairway, the Cloud Sky Pavilion, and the top of the Heaven Smiting Stairway. Wu Zhi was able to receive an audience with Huang shang at the Heaven Shattering Stairway, so there were only a few people in the entire world.

Huang shang also had another rule: The Mo Tian Cliff s must be independent, if other people went along with them, they would definitely be rejected.

As a result, although Wu Zhi and Xie E traveled together, they could not help each other. If Xie E's stamina was insufficient, Wu Zhi could not help them either.

Although Xie E had suffered heavy injuries, it was mostly due to the intense psychological contrast, which did not have much of an impact on his physical strength. Adding to that his physique was extremely tough, and with the help of the true power of the [Eternal Consolidating Incantation], he did not change his expression at all.

Wu Zhi was secretly surprised.

When he went up the mountain, it was already dusk. Xie E did not know about Qing Gong, but he relied on the regular breathing exercises that Wu Zhi had temporarily taught him to speed up his recovery process and sustain the climb.

The two of them walked through some slightly flat and rugged streets until they came to a small clearing that was large enough to accommodate a dozen people. A stone tablet about the height of half a person stood there, its surface as flat as a sword.

Four big words.

The words were like new engravings. The strokes were clear and strong.

Xie E who was familiar with the stone statues stared at the stone tablets for a long time, but he still couldn't find any traces of engravings, everything seemed to be natural, looking at the situation, it was just as the legends said, the stone tablet was actually handwritten!

While Xie E was secretly surprised, he saw Wu Zhi kneeling down in front of the monument respectfully, looking exceptionally pious, as he said, "I am Wu Mingce, a disciple from Daoist Master Qing Ruo's sect in Dian Cang Mountain, kowtowing to Martial Granduncle."

After he finished speaking, he had started chanting. Xie E's hearing was extremely good, but what he heard was a Daoist scripture.

Xie E looked around. It was early in the morning and the sky was dark.

Instantly, he felt uncertain.

It wasn't easy for Wu Zhi to finish reading this passage, so he waved at Xie E, "Little brother, quickly come and greet Old Senior Huang."

felt a chill run down his spine. There was clearly no one around, yet Wu Zhi actually allowed himself to kneel down and kowtow, full of questions as he walked to Wu Zhi's side and asked quietly: "I say, Sir, in this area of ten li, there is no one. How is it possible to say that you're kowtowing to some Old Senior Huang?"

< p > "Shhh!"

Wu Zhi muttered some 'sins' in a low voice.

Confession words like that, he explained it all to Xie E: "Senior granduncle is an unfathomable scholar; it's practically everywhere; how is it possible that with your little cultivation level, you could see through it?! Furthermore, the Mo Tian Cliff paying respects to the Heaven Smiting Stone is a rule that has been passed down for decades. Although Martial Granduncle has never set this rule, we still seek to meet with Old Senior Huang, and paying respects to the Heaven Smiting Stone is the same as paying our respects to him. "

Xie E suddenly realized, even though he did not recite any of the scriptures, he was still extremely sincere. "Disciple Xie E, I have a long respect for old senior Huang's heroic reputation, and have come to pay my respects."

Seeing the sky darken, Wu Zhi didn't have any intention of staying idle. He continued to lead the way, with Xie Chi following closely behind.

Xie E estimated that it should be at an angle of 70 degrees. When he raised his head and looked at the clouds shrouding the sky, there was no end in sight.

Ever since he had visited Mo Tian Shi, Wu Zhi had been silent. He focused on climbing, and had no choice but to follow along.

The two of them somberly climbed up to a relatively wide place, and Wu Zhi came to a stop first.

"This is the Heaven Smiting Stairway?"

With his super strong eyesight, Xie E could see that the mountain road ahead was actually as steep as a ladder.

Wu Zhi, however, shook his head and pointed ahead, "This is the entrance to the Heaven Smiting Stairway. We should rest for the night and only can go up tomorrow morning."

Xie E almost fainted.
