291 The Depths of Memory
The huge arch bridge was made of grey stone and was extremely wide. It stood above the river that was filled with white fog. No matter how turbulent the waves below it were, it did not move. It was very magnificent.
“This is the bridge of helplessness?” Gu Mingzhou looked at the arch bridge curiously and asked.
He had placed all his attention on the light cocoon imprisoning Jing Wudao, so he didn’t notice that the wide arch bridge was not far from him.
“That’s right. This is the bridge of helplessness. Your luck is extremely good to actually come to the side of the bridge of helplessness by accident!” as Jing Wudao spoke, he had already reached the side of the bridge of helplessness and floated down from the sky with Gu Mingzhou.
“I had no choice. I could only take the risk and rush to the West to take you away,” Gu Mingzhou scratched his head and said.
“You don’t have to be humble. Since ancient times, all young talents have been blessed with great luck. Even though they have suffered, you are the perfect interpretation of this!” Jing Wudao laughed.
Gu Mingzhou smiled shyly.
Jing Wudao’s words made sense. After all, ever since Gu Mingzhou’s parents met with an accident, although Gu Mingzhou’s luck couldn’t be said to be very good, he had always had people helping him along the way.
Even when Gu Mingzhou faced a life-and-death crisis, a mysterious master like Zhou Yuanba suddenly appeared.
Before knowing anything about the situation, he was willing to exchange his life for his.
Another example was the mysterious Master Qin, although he didn’t know why he was sticking to him.
He felt Master Qin was still hiding something, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
However, his luck was still pretty good.
“We’d better enter the bridge of helplessness as soon as possible in case Shangguan Fei and the others catch up.” Jing Wudao changed the topic and pointed at the wide arch bridge in front of him.
The first tribulation was to predict the future, which let them prevent it from happening.
“The bridge of helplessness is for reliving the past and experiencing life.”
“Reliving the past and experiencing life?” Gu Mingzhou frowned and asked.
“Actually, many people would have doubts after seeing the three tribulations of the river of forgetfulness.” Jing Wudao explained.
The three tribulations of the river of forgetfulness were not simple tribulations but tribulations with both advantages and disadvantages.
It was similar to the lightning tribulation.
When cultivators went through it, they would only discover the advantages and ignore the disadvantages.
The three tribulations of the river of forgetfulness had more disadvantages than advantages.
In other words, the danger of the tribulation power of the river of forgetfulness was actually far greater than the benefits one could obtain.
Because in the three tribulations of the river of forgetfulness, there were only two paths to take. One was to sink into oblivion, and the other was to survive safely. There was no other way!
“When you were going through the tribulation of the river of forgetfulness, if I didn’t remind you in time, you would probably still be lost in it, right?” Jing Wudao stopped at the end of the arch bridge and turned back to look at Gu Mingzhou.
Gu Mingzhou did not answer but nodded.
Because Jing Wudao was right. Previously, Gu Mingzhou had been deeply trapped in darkness during his deduction in the river of forgetfulness.
If Jing Wudao didn’t remind him in time, he would have probably chosen to sink into the darkness and be unable to extricate himself!
However, before he had time to think about it carefully, Shangguan Fei and the others turned hostile.
This caused him to forget about this matter temporarily.
Now that it was mentioned again, he was shocked to find that he had escaped from death back then.
The river of forgetfulness tribulation caused one to be lost in the illusion of the future.
As for the calamity of helplessness, it would make you lose yourself in your memories.
“I know that there are some unfortunate things in your memories, but you must remember that the past is the past. Don’t get too caught up in it. The bridge of helplessness targets the soul!” Jing Wudao’s expression suddenly turned serious as he stared at Gu Mingzhou and spoke seriously.
“Targeting the soul? In other words, to you…” Gu Mingzhou looked at Jing Wudao and asked in surprise.
“That’s right, the river of forgetfulness tribulation is useless against me, but this bridge of helplessness is my nemesis.” Jing Wudao retracted his gaze and turned to look at the wide bridge in front of him.
“Don’t worry. I won’t let you down. I still have many things to do!” Gu Mingzhou lowered his head and thought for a moment. He looked at Jing Wudao with a determined gaze and said firmly.
“Don’t be too nervous. Just stay calm. Follow behind me.” Jing Wudao reached out and patted Gu Mingzhou’s shoulder.
Jing Wudao’s feet tapped lightly, and like a fierce tiger descending a mountain, he instantly arrived at the arch bridge.
The entire wide arch bridge trembled slightly, and the White mist that had filled the bridge became thicker.
In the blink of an eye, it covered Jing Wudao’s body.
“Brother Wudao!” Gu Mingzhou looked at Jing Wudao, who had disappeared into the white fog, and stopped talking.
In the end, a determined expression flashed across his face as he stepped onto the bridge.
The moment he stepped on the bridge, the surrounding white fog quickly surged over, blocking Gu Mingzhou’s vision in an instant.
After a few breaths, the white fog slowly dispersed, allowing Gu Mingzhou to regain his vision.
However, when he looked at his surroundings, the scene had already changed greatly.
The wide bridge had disappeared, and in its place were endless green mountains, flowing streams, and running wild beasts.
In the sky, there were white clouds and eagles soaring. It was a peaceful scene!
He did not have the time to be surprised as he was attracted by the black hole not far in front of him. He walked forward in confusion.
Just as Gu Mingzhou approached the black hole, he heard a sharp sound of something breaking through the air behind him.
The incomparably sharp arrow flickered with a bone-piercing cold light as it charged over!
It was extremely fast. With a flash of white light, it instantly arrived beside Gu Mingzhou and attacked the back of his head!
Gu Mingzhou sensed the situation behind him. He circulated his true core strength in his right hand and grabbed at his back.
It caught the sharp arrow without any deviation.
Crack!
He then turned around and threw the arrow on the ground.
He did not feel any elemental energy from the arrow, so he guessed that the person who shot it was not a cultivator.
Although he was filled with doubts, he did not immediately counterattack. Instead, he looked at the source of the arrow.
Several figures darted out from the forest behind them.
They were probably a group of hunters. They were wearing robes made of animal skin, with scimitars at their waists, quiver on their backs, and bows in their hands.
The moment they appeared, they drew their bows and aimed their arrows at Gu Mingzhou.
“Who are you?” among the group of hunters, a strong young man stood at the front. He seemed to be the leader. He pointed his bow at Gu Mingzhou and shouted softly.
When Gu Mingzhou saw the young man speak, he was stunned.
A gust of wind suddenly blew over, causing the fallen leaves to rustle.
Gu Mingzhou’s eyes could not help but turn slightly red.
“Father!” Gu Mingzhou’s lips trembled as he let out a soft cry. His tone was filled with disbelief, surprise, and indescribable excitement.
Once upon a time, this dark but determined face would often appear in Gu Mingzhou’s mind.
Gu Mingzhou had seen with his own eyes that this face had aged from young, from unswerving determination to vicissitudes of life, and had been through many hardships.
It poured into Gu Mingzhou’s heart in an instant, and he could no longer control his reddened eyes. Crystal tears rolled down his face.
