Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 97 – What is a great person?

Chapter 97 – What is a great person?

Su Yun jumped off the immortal rope and held onto the rope as he fell rapidly. Suddenly, he shook the immortal rope, and it spread out in the air once again.

He landed on the immortal rope and continued to move quickly.

After doing this multiple times, he arrived outside the center of Jie Hui City in no time.

Su Yun stopped and looked around in the air. Jie Hui City was extremely large, almost the same size as Shuo Fang City. He stood at a high place and searched for a long time before finding the negative mountain beasts that were transporting the black stone coffins.

At this moment, many negative mountain beasts had already left Jie Hui City and were leaving through another underground passage.

"According to the envoy, Tong Family only started transporting Jie Hui Monsters recently. They hunted and killed the demon in the old uninhabited area of the city last night, so they definitely didn't transport any yesterday. There are already more than ten Jie Hui Monster stone carvings outside the Jie Hui factory, which means that Tong Family has transported Jie Hui Monsters more than ten times, and there are always a few Jie Hui Monsters that escape, causing chaos."

Su Yun's eyes flickered as he rushed on the immortal rope in the air and followed the negative mountain beasts.

The negative mountain beasts below did not have any spiritual masters sitting on their backs, and several spiritual masters were fighting with Jie Hui Monsters, too busy to pay attention to the black stone coffins on the beasts' backs.

"The last time Tong Family transported Jie Hui Monsters should have been the night I entered the city. One Jie Hui Monster escaped from the mine. Master Tu Ming also extorted a few Qing Hong coins from Tong Family at that time."

Su Yun followed the immortal rope past the negative mountain beasts and thought to himself, "So, Tong Family only started transporting Jie Hui Monsters in the last month or two. In the last month or two…"

His face became a bit solemn. The human demons were also released from the Zong Long Tomb during this time, and what was even more strange was that the person who released them was Jiao Shu'Ao, who cooked for the entire village.

That person first used the supernatural power of a true dragon to save Jiao Shu'Ao and sent him to the Zong Long Tomb. The human demons took advantage of this opportunity to bewitch Jiao Shu'Ao, making him think that the human demons were the dragon spirits.

The human demons then attached themselves to Jiao Shu'Ao and instructed him to break the spirit prison's heavenly cage. After that, the human demons entered the city!

In other words, releasing the human demons and transporting the black stone coffins by Tong Family were almost happening at the same time!

"Could Tong Family be related to the leader, Brother Xue? But Tong Family's performance was normal during the big exam night… The water in Shuo Fang City is really black, really mixed, and really deep!"

Su Yun shuddered. He realized that he was starting to become interested in this case! This was a dangerous signal!

Below, the wooden bridge spiraled upward and gradually rose higher and higher. The negative mountain beasts carried black stone coffins and climbed up.

There were Jie Hui lamps emitting dim light on both sides of the wooden bridge. Each Jie Hui lamp was half blocked facing outward, and the other half facing the bridge had dim light shining out.

The bridge was also covered in Jie Hui powder by someone, making the entire bridge extremely dark. Obviously, it was carefully designed, and one could not see that there was a wooden bridge here without careful observation.

The negative mountain beasts continued to climb up along this wooden bridge. After climbing about sixty feet, Su Yun finally saw the hidden mine.

There was a large protruding stone outside the mine, like an eaves, which just blocked the mine. In addition, the wooden bridge was covered in Jie Hui powder, making it impossible to be discovered by anyone passing by!

The negative mountain beasts entered the mine, and Su Yun quietly landed on the back of one of them. Standing on the black stone coffin, the negative mountain beast carried him out of the mine.

This negative mountain beast did not go far when suddenly there was a loud noise, and the mine behind them collapsed."It should be the Ling Shi of the Tong family who used their divine powers to collapse the mine and cover up the traces. I believe that the wooden bridge covered in robbery dust will also be destroyed by them."

Su Yun pondered, "After the chaos of tonight, the Tong family can no longer keep the Robbery Ash Factory. They will also be unable to transport the Robbery Ash monsters out in the future. Most likely, the Robbery Ash Factory will be controlled by the officials and the big families in the city."

Inside the mine, there was a Robbery Ash lamp every few dozen steps, and the mountain beasts turned every few dozen steps, making the terrain extremely complex.

Su Yun remembered the Robbery Ash City map that Qiu Shuijing had given him, and he compared it with the mine that the mountain beasts passed through, calculating the route that the mountain beasts had taken.

"Mr. Shuijing should not have been here before, so how did he get such a clear map of the Robbery Ash City?"

Suddenly, this thought popped into his mind, and his curiosity could not be contained. "So, that envoy is either Mr. Shuijing or someone who has found Mr. Shuijing and got a copy of the map from him. In other words, Mr. Shuijing must know the envoy!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind him, "Who are you?"

Su Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he turned around to see a Confucian scholar leaping onto the back of the mountain beast.

It was this person who had collapsed the mine with his divine powers and concealed the traces of the Tong family stealing the Black Stone Coffin!

Su Yun smiled innocently, "I'm here to collect Robbery Ash..."

"Collecting Robbery Ash?"

The middle-aged scholar, Tong Xuan, sneered, "A few months ago, did you collect Robbery Ash in the deserted area of Tian Shi Yuan? Did you think that you could fool me by smearing your face? The Robbery Ash on your face was wiped off when you wiped your sweat!"

Su Yun touched his face and indeed, there was not much Robbery Ash left on it. He had used too much force when he used the Dust Curtain Sky Slash to break the Robbery Ash Mountain and wiped his sweat with his sleeve.

"Don't you remember me? My name is Tong Xuan, and Tong Fan is my nephew."

Words flew behind Tong Xuan, and each character was as big as a plate. His chanting gradually became audible, and his voice came through, "When we went to the deserted area of Tian Shi Yuan, my family sent three people to capture you, but two of them died unexpectedly. Do you remember my divine powers now that you see them?"

Su Yun saw the characters behind him, and his eyes lit up. He said with a smile, "When the whole village was eating and crossing the Robbery Tribulation, you chased after me with your Confucian divine powers! I remember you. You are the one with insufficient knowledge in the Tong family!"

Tong Xuan's face darkened upon hearing this nickname, and he snorted coldly. Although not only Su Yun, but also Hua Hu, Li Xiaofan, Qing Qiuyue, and Hu Buping knew that he had insufficient knowledge.

Su Yun's gaze flickered, and a small wooden block separated from his sleeve, slowly splitting into a small golden bell.He was cautious and alert. Although the scholar Tong Xuan lacked knowledge, his Confucian magic was extremely stunning, making people sigh in amazement!

The article behind Tong Xuan was the Confucian Great Sage's "Wen Xin Diao Long". Its elegance was incomparable, and the article contained extremely deep mysteries. However, Tong Xuan did not have enough knowledge and did not comprehend it.

But the magic transformed by "Wen Xin Diao Long" was absolutely extraordinary!

The negative mountain beasts began to ascend. The front gradually widened, and huge bronze pillars came from behind and into view. That was the Dinglou Divine Needle of the Shuofang city building, and it was also the spiritual weapon used by the Lou Ban to suppress the Jiehui city.

The team of negative mountain beasts walked calmly through several bronze pillars, only to see many strange patterns engraved on the bronze pillars.

"Last time, I wanted to capture the Poisonous Dragon, but you escaped. This time..."

Tong Xuan was full of killing intent. Suddenly, the words behind him turned into a loud sound like a Hong Zhong Da Lu exploding in Su Yun's ear!

"Practice a thousand songs to know the sound, observe a thousand swords to know the device!"

A line of words flew out from behind him and quickly came to Su Yun, and suddenly the sound of the piano sounded, and the sword light appeared!

Su Yun hurriedly leaped backwards into the air, only to see the bright sword light piercing through the air, stabbing where he had just landed. His Qi and blood manifested, turning into dragon claws and grabbing onto the mine wall, but he saw one flying sword after another attacking him, deeply embedded in the mine wall behind him!

These flying swords were transformed by Confucian magic, and they disappeared quickly if they missed.

But there were too many sword lights, leaving Su Yun at a loss. As he continued to retreat along the mine tunnel, the sound of the piano suddenly became extremely fierce, and a series of piano sounds bombarded Su Yun, disrupting his footwork!

Dang dang dang dang...

Above Su Yun's head, the small yellow bell kept ringing, deafening. Su Yun suddenly slammed into a bronze pillar with a bang, and his Jiehui scattered like black smoke.

Several negative mountain beasts walked past him, their small eyes glancing at him. Suddenly, a series of sword lights shot out, and in the blink of an eye, Su Yun was pierced by a thousand swords, like a huge sea urchin full of spikes, hanging on the bronze pillar!

Meanwhile, the small yellow bell above Su Yun's head kept ringing!

The several negative mountain beasts were startled and ran away in a panic.

Tong Xuan stood on the back of one of the negative mountain beasts and came to the bronze pillar, sneering, and said leisurely, "You have cultivated the Yulin realm, but you don't even know what Yulin means. Yulin has two meanings, the first meaning is abundant and accumulated, and the second meaning is the vessel's abundance. You only have the Yulin realm, but you don't know what Yulin means. In my hands, you will die with just one move, and it will be a fitting death."

He snorted, his face darkening. "Those who are ignorant dare say that I lack knowledge!"

"Tong Xuan Shixiong, I understand that abundant and accumulated means accumulation, but I am not quite clear about vessel's abundance."

Under the flying swords, Su Yun's voice came, "May I ask what vessel's abundance means?"

Tong Xuan was stunned and hurriedly looked closely. He saw that the flying swords were actually hovering in front of Su Yun and had not pierced him!

Su Yun raised his hand, and the yellow bell rotated. One flying sword after another shattered with a crackling sound, turning into a stream of Qi and blood that dissipated.

Su Yun slid down from the wall and quickly caught up with a negative mountain beast, leaping onto its back. Facing Tong Xuan from afar, he said embarrassedly, "I have never attended an official school, and I don't know the tricks of the Yulin realm. Therefore, I have to ask for your advice."In the rear, Confucian scholar Tong Xuan moved his mind, and a text hit the back of the Fushan beast. The Fushan beast under his feet was in pain and ran wildly.

Tong Xuan's eyes flashed, and he opened his folding fan with a swish. The fan flew and rotated in the air.

"The so-called instrument potential refers to the degree and capacity of the spiritual master!"

The fan was blank without a single word, but a series of texts flew out of the magnificent article behind Tong Xuan and were imprinted on the fan surface, and columns of characters suddenly appeared!

"Instrument potential refers to the potential of your mind and heart. The greater the degree and capacity of your mind and heart, the greater your magical powers!"

Tong Xuan stepped forward, and the eight characters "Dragon Map Presents Body, Turtle Book Presents Appearance" on the fan surface shone brightly. Suddenly, they turned into a dragon and horse carrying the river map and jumped out of the picture, galloping towards Su Yun!

Another dragon turtle rushed out of the fan surface, and its back suddenly stood up with the Qiankun Luo book floating on it. The Luo book stood up and whistled forward.

Tong Xuan's eyes were cold, and he jumped up. Rows of characters appeared under his feet, and he rushed after the dragon map turtle book in the air, saying in a deep voice: "The greatest degree and capacity of mind and heart in the world is Confucianism, which embraces the universe and holds the country in the heart!"

"Unfortunately, you learned it wrong!"

Su Yun pointed at him and laughed loudly: "Last time I saw you completely misunderstand the classics of the saints, it was all nonsense!"

Tong Xuan's face turned iron blue, and he suddenly urged his blood and magical powers.

Su Yun urged the Honglu to transform, and his blood suddenly became violent. His palms attacked continuously, and thirty-six sun and moon imprints appeared in the small yellow bell above his head, overlapping and surging outward, blocking the dragon map turtle book!

"You talk about benevolence, justice, morality, but you act like a thief and a prostitute, doing all the bad things!"

Su Yun shouted: "So your knowledge is not enough, and you cannot be consistent in words and deeds. How can you talk about the degree and capacity of the mind and heart?"

Boom!

The thirty-six rounds of the sun and moon shattered, and the dragon map turtle book hit Su Yun, and two bell sounds came. Su Yun flew high.

Tong Xuan stepped out from behind the dragon map turtle book, and rows of texts flowed out, flying around Su Yun in the air!

There were continuous explosions, and Su Yun was thrown further away. After this wave of attacks, he fell on the back of a running Fushan beast in the front row.

The Fushan beast rushed out, suddenly hitting the iron gate in front and rushing into the street.

The other Fushan beasts followed, running wildly on the street!

It was already late at night, the moon was bright, and there were no people on the street, only these seven giant beasts carrying the black stone coffin running wild!

On the head of the beast, Su Yun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, suddenly felt a sweet throat, and another mouthful of blood rushed out.

His arms had been injured and couldn't exert his full strength, but even if he did, he was afraid that he could not resist magical powers.

Tong Xuan looked at him from a distance through several giant beasts, and his voice came into his ears clearly: "Is my knowledge not enough? Is the knowledge needed to kill you enough?"

Su Yun laughed sarcastically with blood at the corner of his mouth.

The giant beasts ran wildly, turning at the street corner at a shocking speed. He stood there steadily, tearing off a piece of his shirt with a sneer.He seemed to be speaking to Tong Xuan, but it also sounded like he was talking to himself: "I've always been afraid of becoming blind again, afraid of being called Little Blind Su or Su Blind. I've been trying hard to keep my eyes open, hehe, but I've been deliberately ignoring one fact. That is..."

He covered his eyes with the hem of his clothes and tied it tightly behind his head.

The cool wind of Shuofang blew in the night.

The hem of his clothes fluttered lightly against his cheek like a ribbon.

"That is, when I am blind, I am at my strongest!"

Su Yun extended his hand and smiled, "Come, let me show you what a great talent is, and send you on your way!"
