Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 203 – The moon in the mirror on the same day

The speed of the land candle dragon gradually increased. Su Yun looked back and saw that Shuofang City was getting farther away, while the Tianmu Wall was getting closer.

The next stop of the candle dragon carriage was the Tianmu Wall, and the second stop was the Hexi to the east of the Tianmu Wall.

Su Yun had learned about the geography of Yuanshuo from Mr. Wild Fox before and knew that the Tianmu Wall was a foreign land that fell into Shuofang, separating Hexi and Hedong from Shuofang.

To travel from Shuofang to Hexi, one must pass through the lowest and gentlest place of the Tianmu Wall. Otherwise, one would have to take a detour and run to Hedong, then circle around for thousands of miles.

Therefore, the shortest route is still to go from the Tianmu Wall to Hexi, although the road is steep and dangerous, it takes less time.

.

When the land candle dragon entered the Tianmu Wall, the feeling of time and space disorder came again, but this discomfort disappeared quickly.

The time in the Tianmu Wall was about three hours faster than that in Shuofang. The candle dragon carriage departed from Shuofang and arrived at the Tianmu Wall at noon, but when it entered the territory of the Tianmu Wall, the sun was setting and the sunset was reflected in red.

Su Yun looked at the sunset outside the window, and the wooden box he put on the table turned into flying sand, changing unpredictably in his palm.

Dao Saint was very repulsed by the girl Wu Tong sitting next to him. Whenever he caught a glimpse of Wu Tong, he would slightly frown.

Wu Tong was surprisingly quiet and did not provoke him.

She could see the power of Dao Ancestor, and even dared not have the slightest thought of tempting her Dao Heart to fall.

Li Zhuxian was very excited and kept asking Li Muge about the puppet of Yanshi, planning to help the spiritualists guarding the candle dragon carriage fight against the puppet of Yanshi at night.

"Friend, where will you go after fulfilling the wish of the deity?" Su Yun withdrew his gaze and asked Dao Saint.

The old Taoist's gaze fell on the dust flowing between his fingers and shook his head, saying, "Many people are exploring this matter. Some people say that after their wishes are fulfilled, they will lose their treasures and wealth and enter the depths of the ghost market, forgotten and disappeared. Some people have seen that after the deity has no wishes, they will become extremely light and fly to the outside of the sky. As for the real situation, the old Taoist does not know."

Su Yun played with the wooden box, his eyes deep and profound, "When I was a child, there was an uncle Cen living under the old willow tree at the entrance of the town. He took care of me very much. On the eve of my eyesight recovery, he said he had no wishes and wanted to leave Tianmen Town and the Tianmu Wall, and then he left."

He raised his head, his face calm, "I have never even seen his face and don't know what he looks like. Maybe he was the only person who was kind to me with all his heart in my childhood. It was he who taught me about time and space and let Qu Bo and others take care of me. It was also he who let me meet the stall friends in the Tianmu Wall and have friendship."He put away the wooden box and looked out the window, saying, "The former master of the Tongtian Pavilion, Lou Ban, is the stallmate I met in the Ghost Market. He entrusted me with this treasure. I didn't know how important the key was. Not only do I have to bear the responsibility of guarding Shuofang, but I also have to become the master of the Tongtian Pavilion. He asked me to meet him before leaving Shuofang."

The sunset outside the window sank below the mountain, and the Tian Shi Yuan fell into darkness.

The Jié Huī lamp in the candle dragon carriage lit up, and the Ling Shi on the second floor of the attic urged the supernatural powers of Buddhism, transforming into a bright mirror, shining into the darkness.

In the darkness, the puppet masters hanging in the valley, the dense forest, and even the bodies of the gods and demons all awakened and flew over.

Li Zhuxian immediately jumped out of the window, and Li Muge had no choice but to follow her to prevent her from having any accidents.

"If I go to see him and he has no last wishes, he will probably disappear like Cen Bo and never be seen again," Su Yun said with a complicated look.

Soon, the candle dragon carriage stopped at the Tian Shi Yuan station. The candle dragon mouth held a dragon ball, and the light was like a torch, driving away the monsters rushing towards the station.

Some residents from Tian Shi Yuan were carrying large and small luggage and climbing onto the carriage.

At this time, it was the peak season after the disaster, and many residents of Tian Shi Yuan were preparing to work in Hexi City.

This side of the Tian Shi Yuan station was an old deserted area, and on the other side was the disorderly zone. It was not far away to arrive at the Heavenly Master Temple where Lou Ban was worshipped.

Su Yun hesitated for a moment, looking at the disorderly zone of Tian Shi Yuan in the distance, where the light was shining and ghosts and gods came out to play at night, which was extremely lively.

"If you want to go, there is still time," Dao Saint whispered.

Su Yun shook his head and did not get off the carriage.

Dao Saint stopped talking.

Soon, the candle dragon let out a long dragon chant and slowly set off towards the east.

The night of Tian Shi Yuan was full of lights and colors, and palaces and temples were everywhere, decorated with lanterns and decorations. In the light, there were people everywhere.

The candle dragon carriage drove into the disorderly zone, and the candle dragon held the dragon ball, illuminating dozens of miles ahead.

Suddenly, there was a thunderous sound of horses and carriages in the sky, and a convoy was running in the air, getting lower and lower. Most of the gods and demons in the convoy were towering, surrounding the emperor's carriage.

Dao Saint raised his eyebrows and sneered, "The old thief who steals the world!"

The convoy was the Eastern Master touring Tian Shi Yuan, following the candle dragon carriage forward, as if guarding this treasure carriage. The candle dragon roared and pulled the dragon carriage of the Eastern Master, and the dragon neighed with its head raised.

Su Yun pushed open the window and saluted the Eastern Master sitting behind the curtain.

Behind the curtain, the spirit of the emperor bowed, and a ghost and god flew over, saying, "The master said that Lou Tian Shi is waiting for his stallmate ahead."

Su Yun was stunned, and the convoy immediately accelerated.Li Zhuxian and Li Muge were standing on the carriage of the Candle Dragon Sedan. Looking up, they saw the Eastern Master's caravan passing over them, with various exotic beasts leaping and shining with colorful light.

Suddenly, the road ahead was brightly lit, and the Candle Dragon Sedan rushed forward along the road, entering a town that seemed like a stack of wooden blocks. The town was constantly changing, with arches, bridges, galleries, bookstores, palaces, and temples extending endlessly in front of them.

Towers and buildings rose from the ground, and the road turned into a cloud bridge. The Candle Dragon carried carriage-like compartments and ran between the brightly lit high-rise buildings.

The giant bird, Tianfeng, which had been sitting quietly on the back of the Candle Dragon, pretending to be a carriage, stood up involuntarily. Its eyes shone, its beak opened, and it exclaimed in surprise.

Inside the Candle Dragon Sedan, everyone looked out the window at the incredible and magnificent buildings rising from the ground. The Candle Dragon ran along the cloud bridge, moving through the night sky of the city.

The city, streets, and cloud bridges grew higher and higher, like pearls in the sky, magnificent and spectacular, yet beautiful. The Candle Dragon Sedan was like dust in a pearl.

Although the Candle Dragon Sedan was moving forward, it was walking in the pearl.

Outside the pearl, a huge palm slowly opened, holding the heavenly city in its hand.

"Su Sect Master, let's go see him."

Dao Saint looked up at the divine face of the heavenly being outside the sky, his eyes flashing, and said with a smile, "Master Lou has divine powers that are vast and boundless. He has been unsurpassed in his achievements in the New Learning for a hundred years. If you don't go see him, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of the Heavenly City Wall."

Su Yun hesitated for a moment, pushed open the carriage, and walked out.

The dusty sky flew out of his spiritual realm, constantly changing, and lifted him up, making him walk in the clouds.

The Candle Dragon Sedan was running below him, but its speed was much slower than that of the dusty sky. Soon, Su Yun came to the head of the Candle Dragon and saw a dark area ahead. Countless bricks and tiles flew towards him, and a cloud bridge was laid at the feet of the Candle Dragon.

On both sides, dust and sand flew up, turning into heavenly buildings.

Su Yun bowed, "Master Lou, I'm here."

Suddenly, a palace appeared in front of the Candle Dragon, and the door of the palace opened. The Candle Dragon rushed into the palace, and a cloud bridge appeared under its feet. The Candle Dragon carried the people in the carriage and climbed up, circling upwards all the way.

The palace seemed to have countless floors, reaching out into the sky.

Su Yun got off the back of the Candle Dragon, and the dusty sky turned into a cloud platform, on which a small Heavenly Master Temple appeared.

The Candle Dragon Sedan was still above, climbing higher and higher, getting further and further away from here.

Su Yun pushed open the door, and Master Lou was standing in front of his temple, lighting the lamps.Su Yun followed his gaze and saw the thousands of lanterns shining brightly, the flames soaring high, and the bright moon sweeping away the stars, leaving only the lights and the round moon in the sky.

Although they were in a great hall, the space seemed to change at this moment. They could not see the hall, nor the candle dragon sedan.

The bright moon in the sky was exceptionally bright, and the thousands of lanterns were like stars, forming a road that led straight to the other side of the world.

"The Master of Tongtian Pavilion is going to build a bridge that leads directly to the fairyland on the other side of the world."

Lou Ban stood in front of the door of the great hall, looking at his own golden statue inside the hall and smiling as he looked at the lights in the sky. "When I first became the Master of Tongtian Pavilion, I vowed to find this fairyland. In this life, I will build a fairy palace and a divine city in the mortal world. My ambition is to make mortals live like they are in heaven."

Su Yun stood beside him, looking up at the sky with his gaze and whispered, "I'm not ready to be the Master of Tongtian Pavilion yet..."

"In this world, you will never be ready for anything."

Lou Ban laughed, "Su Master, as you grow up, you will find that the more you try to prepare, the more you find yourself unprepared. And time will slowly pass you by as you prepare, so go ahead and do it."

A bridge appeared under his feet, spanning across the sky.

Lou Ban stood on the bridge, rising from the Heavenly Master's Temple. The bridge hung between the bright moon and the Heavenly Master's Temple, and the flames of the lights illuminated the bridge.

Lou Ban turned around and waved to him, "I have found the next Master, and it's time for me to fulfill my original intention and find the fairyland on the other side of the world. When I find it, Su Master..."

The bridge continued to spread into the void, and Lou Ban gradually disappeared.

"You come to build this bridge!"

Su Yun looked up at the lights in the sky, and Lou Ban was nowhere to be found.

"Moo..."

The candle dragon's cry came, and Su Yun rode on the candle dragon, passing by rows of small buildings under his feet.

He quietly landed on a small wooden building. The candle dragon was running along a steep cliff in a deep canyon, with a bottomless abyss beneath his feet!

That was the boundary between the Heavenly Market Enclosure and the Hexi.

Finally, the candle dragon carriage arrived at a steel bridge and rushed down it.

Below, the river was rolling, and the surging river water was like thousands of galloping horses.

Su Yun returned to the carriage and took out the bright mirror that Qiu Shuijing had given him, which had a bright moon in it, carrying his longing.

At this moment, he was stunned. He saw a thin bridge spreading out from the moon in the mirror.

Su Yun rubbed his eyes and opened the Heavenly Eye of the Taoist Door to take a closer look.

There was indeed a bridge next to the moon in the mirror!

And Lou Ban's spirit was walking on the bridge!
