The steps were so wide, the steps were so long, and the steps were so far away.
One step at a time, Han Qianqian didn’t even know how many steps he had taken until the end, when he finally went straight up the steps.
He raised his head several times, but every time he saw the endless steps, so he didn’t look or look at them, but kept his head in his hands and walked up them one step at a time, like a machine.
After a long time, he suddenly realised that the steps beneath his feet were no longer ordinary steps, they were crystal clear, resembling stone and jade.
As he looked up, he saw a high platform at the end of the steps, not far away, and steady at the top.
When he looked at his feet, there were already countless steps circling deeper into the earth.
“Whew!”
With a heavy breath, Han Qianqian stepped out and accelerated his speed, heading towards the high platform.
Within a few moments, Han Qianqian had reached the high platform.
At the very centre of the platform, there was an old bell hanging in the middle, which was made up of two large pillars, looking majestic.
“He who rings the bell!”
“One bell for the ringing, seven for the end.”
A voice that sounded like an old man, but was strong and powerful, was illusory in the void.
Han Qianqian looked closely at the old bell, but the bell was as big as a large truck, and its top was rusty, so it was more like a piece of scrap iron than a bell.
The hammer that hangs next to it doesn’t look like it’s going to work either, it’s also rusty and the most difficult part is its weight.
Just by looking at it, it weighed several thousand pounds, and it would be beyond anyone’s reach to hold it and strike the bell.
If Han Qianqian had been in his prime, he would have had no fear of such a bell and such a hammer, and would have been able to hold it at will.
But without the support of his cultivation, it would be as difficult as heaven to move it.
Han Qianqian even laughed at himself, saying that it was not bad enough for him to move the hammer.
“Young man, pick up the bell hammer, you may begin.”
“If the bell can strike once, you are a man.”
“If it can strike two times, then you are a man who has not walked this earth in vain, barely, a monk.”
“If you can sound three times, then you are a man among men and can be considered a man of achievement.”
The words fell, and the voice broke.
Han Qianqian frowned: “Senior, no more?”
“What else do you want to know?”
“I want to know how the four voices should be, and how the five voices should be?”
“These, it seems, you do not need to know, but since you have asked, I will tell you everything, so listen carefully.”
Han Qianqian nodded, “I am all ears.”
“Good, if this bell rings four times, then it is already the pride of heaven and earth, therefore, it is above people.”
“As for the five sounds, it can be called a true god since it can dominate the eight directions.”
Han Qianqian understood in general that one sound could be counted as an ordinary person in the eight directions, while two sounds could be counted as an accomplished disciple of a high school, three sounds as a master, four sounds as a super master who could dominate one side, and five sounds as a true god.
However, this did leave Han Qianqian with a deeper question.
“Just now, I heard the old man say that this bell can ring seven times, so may I ask, what about the six and seven sounds?” Han Qianqian wondered.
“Six and seven sounds?” The old gentleman was not angry, nor was he the least bit impatient, but said slowly, “These are beyond your understanding, so there is no need to ask, nor is there a need to know.”
Han Qianqian smiled bitterly, although the old man did not answer, it was obvious that Han Qianqian could also roughly judge through the front of a posture, this can knock out six or seven sound, is definitely a great great.
Thinking of this, Han Qianqian shook his head, “I was asked to ring the bell, but this senior only said the front and not the back, so I really don’t know whether to ring or not to ring this bell.”
“After all, in case I have to make this bell ring seven times, what should I do then?”
Hearing Han Qianqian’s words, the old man laughed gently, “Seven times? It seems that I should indeed talk to you about what these six as well as seven times mean.”
Han Qianqian smiled gently and waited quietly ……
