Chapter 149: Ladder
Xu Ming looked at the expressions of the crowd, but no one dared to respond.
Before, they wanted to steal the treasure.
Now they are like a turtle hiding in its shell.
All I can say is that no matter where you are, most people are the same, they all bully the weak and fear the strong.
But to be honest.
If hundreds of Guanhai Realm cultivators and the demon clan besieged Xu Ming together, Xu Ming felt that he would be in great trouble and would most likely be surrounded and killed.
After all, he is not a god. His martial artist realm is only the Heroic Soul Realm, and his cultivator realm has not even reached the Cave Mansion Realm.
As long as these hundreds of cultivators and demons work together, they will definitely be able to kill Xu Ming.
But fortunately, Qin Qingwan and Yu Wenxi stood by Xu Ming.
Qin Qingwan and the others were really strong, and they helped relieve Xu Ming’s pressure to a great extent, allowing Xu Ming to breathe a sigh of relief.
In addition, these hundreds of cultivators and demons are not like the Blood Pagoda of the Wu Kingdom.
The discipline of the Xuefutu of Wu State is one of the best in the human kingdom. As long as the Xuefutu can kill the enemy, they don't mind even if they are torn to pieces.
And these people all have their own selfish desires, and everyone will subconsciously hold back.
There were also some morally upright monks who did not participate in the siege of Xu Ming. Even if they wanted to seize the treasure, they would rather fight a fair one-on-one duel like Zhuang Yan. They would not take advantage of someone's misfortune and bully Xu Ming with many people.
So this kind of "alliance" is really not strong enough.
Especially when Xu Ming seized a few typical examples and killed one with one punch, the scene was extremely shocking and exaggerated, which frightened them for a while.
These people all cherish their lives.
They saw Xu Ming killing everyone he saw with one punch, so how could they have the courage to go there?
Having said that.
In fact, Xu Ming really didn’t have any big ideas about this so-called rare treasure.
Xu Ming never cared whether he became the master of Baiwa City or not.
So Xu Ming never forced it. Xu Ming just wanted to leave this place.
In Xu Ming's opinion, the most important thing in spiritual practice is to rely on oneself, rather than on external things.
I can open the sky with one punch and break all laws with one sword. What does it matter if you have many treasures?
However, Xu Ming does not force the opportunity of treasure, which does not mean that Xu Ming does not want it.
As long as there is an opportunity, everyone wants to get it, and this is normal.
Rather, it means that Xu Ming will not lose his mind and will get whatever he can get.
But if it was a situation like this, where they surrounded a person to rob him of his treasure, and used any means necessary to get the treasure, even at the cost of their reputation, Xu Ming would not do such a thing.
"Frog~"
Just when Xu Ming and these monks were in a stalemate, suddenly, a frog croaking sound came from not far away.
Everyone looked into the distance.
In the direction of the Toad Temple, a golden light pierced the sky and a toad jumped out.
In just a moment, the golden toad sat high above the clouds, and golden light bloomed from behind the toad's head.
You know what, this toad really does have a sense of solemnity and holiness.
Xia Donghua and others were facing a formidable enemy.
Xu Ming put his hands behind his back and looked at the huge toad.
This was the first time Xu Ming saw the toad leave the temple.
"It seems that the selection has been made." The golden toad put his palms together, and the toad's cross eyes glowed with a faint golden light. He looked directly at Xu Ming, "Donor, it's been a long time since we last met."
Xu Ming bowed and responded with a smile: "I didn't expect that you still remember me."
The golden toad smiled and said, "Do you want to become the master of Baiwa City?"
Xu Ming smiled and said, "I do."
"Oh?" The golden toad looked at Xu Ming with interest. "No, actually, you don't want to, but you don't seem to be interested in Baiwa City. At least, your desire to become the master of Baiwa City is not as strong as others."
“If there are treasures to fight for, then fight for them. If there is nothing to fight for, how can a cultivator practice?
But if you force yourself to get a treasure once you have it, and lose your principles and your reason, then how is that different from a monster?"
Xu Ming expressed his thoughts.
The golden toad smiled and nodded: "This is what the donor really said."
Xu Ming: "Since I have spoken the truth, shouldn't you treat me with sincerity as well? I wonder what exactly is going on in this Baiwa Secret Realm? Now that things have come to this, I wonder if you can tell me."
The golden toad raised its mouth corners:
“Most of your guesses about the Baiwa Secret Realm are correct.
Baiwa City was indeed a border city in the past, but the laws of nature are unpredictable, and the spiritual power between heaven and earth converged towards Baiwa City, which is why Baiwa City was gradually torn apart.
But at this moment, an old monk came to Baiwa City and threw a scroll towards Baiwa City.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6-9!
The scroll unfolded, stretching for dozens of miles, completely covering Baiwa City.
The gradually torn apart Baiwa City was bit by bit integrated into this blank picture.
The old monk lived in Baiwa City for a while.
One day, the old monk walked to a small pond and saw a toad dying, so he saved that toad.
The old monk saw that the toad had some spirituality and felt that they had a connection, so he taught it Buddhist teachings.
After the old monk left, he entrusted some things to Toad.
The old monk told the Toad that when the Baiwa scroll was formed, someone would come to fight for it, and they just had to let them fight for it, and in the end there would be someone with a destiny who would get the scroll.
Toad asked, "Who is the destined one?"
The old monk smiled and said, "Why are you talking nonsense like that? Isn't the person who fights to the end the one who is destined to be with you?"
The Baiwa painting is about to take shape.
All the monks who died in the Baiwa scroll will become nutrients for the Baiwa scroll.
And each of you may be the destined one.
As for the white lights falling in Baiwa City, I really don’t know what’s going on.
However, in my opinion, the formation of a painting scroll cannot have the presence of external objects, so outsiders should be excluded.
But in recent years, I felt that there was another magic circle outside the Baiwa scroll.
As for who created that magic circle, I have no way of knowing.
But I don’t need to worry about those things.
Toad just wants to do what the old monk taught him to do."
The toad stretched out its hand, then covered it down, and golden threads floated down from the night sky.
The silk threads were woven continuously, finally forming one step after another.
Stairs lead up to the sky.
At the top of the steps, there was a wooden platform, and on the shelf of the wooden platform was a bundled scroll.
The Golden Toad put his hands together, and his voice echoed in everyone's heart: "At dawn, those who hold the magic beads can walk on this ladder.
If he gets the scroll, this world will belong to him.
If you don't get the scroll, it will turn into nourishment for this world.
If no one takes the orb and walks up the ladder, everyone will die."
