Chapter 4: The Grave Keeper
Long's backyard.
Dragon Thirteen was quietly soaking in a bathtub full of medicinal herbs, and wisps of green mist came out of the potions in the bathtub, which burrowed into Long Thirteen's body. "Grandpa Wu, what's the use of these medicinal herbs?" Long Hao reached out and touched the potion puzzled.
"Quench bones, enhance vitality, and promote the absorption of elemental energy...... "Lao Wu said a lot at once.
"Stop, stop, stop, Grandpa Wu, don't say it, my head hurts" Long Hao rubbed his head and hurriedly waved his hand.
"I'm not interested in what you're talking about, I want to know what kind of profession an elementalist is?"
"Elemental Master, aren't you not awakened elemental, why do you suddenly want to ask this?" Lao Wu asked suspiciously, stopping what he was doing.
"Well, I just want to get to know it briefly, after all, my parents and you are both elementalists, I'm curious!"
"This ......" Lao Wu was a little hesitant to say.
Seeing Grandpa Wu's hesitation, Long Hao said a little coquettishly: "Grandpa Wu, just tell me about it, I asked my parents, but they didn't tell me." ”
Lao Wu really couldn't stand Long Hao's coquettish appearance, and hurriedly agreed: "Okay, Tian'er, you wait for Grandpa Wu to finish the thirteenth thing first, okay?"
"Really, don't lie to me?" Long Hao said in disbelief.
"I don't lie to you, Grandpa Wu promises," Lao Wu replied.
Actually, Lao Wu is also a little helpless, Long Hao is almost 20 years old, how can he be childish, when will he be able to take care of Thirteen if he continues like this.
Well, it doesn't seem right, after all, the lifespan of an elementalist is generally two or three hundred years old, and twenty years old is indeed quite small, well, it's not too big. Thinking about it like this, Lao Wu felt much more comfortable.
It doesn't seem right, Tian'er is not an elemental master, thinking about Uncle Wu has made himself dizzy. Forget it, let's take a step at a time, see if Tian'er is not interested in alchemy, if you can, it is also a good choice to teach him alchemy. Thinking of this, Lao Wu was finally relieved, and a smile appeared on his face.
After a while, Uncle Wu put the medicinal herbs together and put them in the bath bucket.
"Alright, wait for Thirteen to soak for an hour. Tian'er, you can carry him back to the room again," Lao Wu said with a sigh of relief.
"Got it, Grandpa Wu," Long Tian replied with a hint of Hatche.
"Is it time to talk about the elemental master" Speaking of this, Long Tian instantly refreshed his spirits.
"I can talk about it, but it's ......"
"Why Grandpa Wu, do you want to go back on it? You promised me" Before Lao Wu finished speaking, Long Tian said in a hurry.
"No, eh, Tian'er, you wait for Grandpa Wu to finish speaking" Old Wu replied helplessly, "Grandpa is thirsty, you go and help Grandpa make a pot of tea, okay?"
"Okay, Grandpa Wu is waiting for me, I'll be soon" After speaking, Long Tian rushed out.
"This kid is really an anxious child" Lao Wu shook his head helplessly.
Lao Wu sat on the chair and thought quietly: the energy of the awakening of the dragon vein, I didn't expect that there would be an heir of the dragon clan left here. Since you have met him, help him, after all, the old master is also a dragon. Alas, how many years have passed, and my old Wu still hasn't found a way to go back to the master's dragon tomb.
That's right, Lao Wu not only knew what the energy in Long Thirteen's body was, but he was also familiar with it.
He was once rescued by a very powerful dragonman when he was seriously injured by the enemy. When he was recuperating in the dragonman's cultivation place, he found that all things related to the dragon clan were recorded on the wall, including the awakening of the bloodline, the history of the dragon clan, the secret methods of the dragon clan, and so on. Lao Wu was also interested in these, pondered for a few years, and kept everything he could remember in his heart. He thanked the dragon man and indicated that he wanted to leave. However, the dragonman never answered him.
After a few days, Lao Wu couldn't stay any longer, so he wanted to leave, and he struggled to open the huge stone door.
, but as soon as he opened the door of the dragonman's house, a fierce spatial force struck. Almost instantly, he was seriously injured. If it weren't for the dragon people helping him clean up the spatial power in his body later, he would have died a long time ago.
Later, the dragonman had saved him several times when he had gone mad when he was cultivating the elements. He slowly accepted his fate, and cultivated quietly in the cultivation place of the dragon clan with peace of mind.
Suddenly, one day, the dragonman was injured. Lao Wu originally thought that the dragon man was already the pinnacle of existence in the world, but everything was not as simple as he thought.
During that time, the dragon man would go out every day, and then come back with a wound, all of which Lao Wu helped him heal.
Lao Wu also had the idea of leaving here while the dragon people were injured. Still, he didn't go. One is that I don't know how to get out of here, and the other is that I can't bear to see the dragons die of their injuries.
Until one day, the dragonman died.
On that day, a spatial crack appeared.
However, unlike in the past, dragonmen came in afloat.
Quietly, the dragonman has long since run out of breath.
Old Wu tried to look into the memories of the dragonmen, trying to see if there was a way to get out of here.
However, the results were unexpected. The dragonman's mind went blank, there was nothing.
Old Wu Gang put the dragon man into the coffin in the hall. Suddenly, the whole place trembled. A white light flashed in front of him, and Lao Wu fainted.
When he woke up again, Lao Wu only had a stone door in front of him. No matter how Lao Wu pushed, how to attack Shimen, Shimen did not move at all.
On the stone gate, the six big characters of "Tomb of the Void Emperor" are very dazzling.
It wasn't until that moment that Lao Wu really understood. He was captured by the dragonmen to be the grave keeper.
Can't say it?
After all, if it wasn't for the dragonman who saved him, he would have died a long time ago. After Lao Wu figured it out, he sat down cross-legged at the Pu Kui next to him and cultivated quietly.
Ten years, fifty years, a hundred years have passed.
Lao Wu found that he didn't seem to grow old, and the power of the Dragon Tomb was constantly repairing his aging body and even his soul. He couldn't stand the loneliness anymore.
Ever thought about committing suicide? It's not that he didn't think about it, but he couldn't hurt himself at all. The power of the Dragon Tomb repaired his body and imprisoned him at the same time, he could only cultivate, and could not use the power of the elements.
After another hundred years, Lao Wu chose to fall asleep.
Every 100 years, Lao Wu wakes up.
I don't know if it was the first time he woke up, he found that the power of the Dragon Tomb seemed to be weakened. He burst into joy and tried to connect with the elemental powers. As a result, it was empty again, and it was true that the power of the Dragon Tomb had weakened, but he still failed to release the Dragon Tomb's confinement.
He fell asleep again with disappointment.
More than ten years ago, the Dragon Tomb suddenly trembled again.
Lao Wu woke up from his slumber and looked at the trembling Dragon Tomb, he knew that the opportunity to leave had come.
He tried to connect with the elemental powers again.
It worked.
At that moment, Lao Wu felt indescribably comfortable in his heart.
He slowly summoned his wood element, and slowly, the place where Lao Wu was located was overgrown with plants, and the plants soon spread throughout the Dragon Tomb. What Lao Wu didn't know was that in the Dragon Tomb, the seeds of those dangerous plants collected by the dragonmen were also slowly taking root and growing.
With the interference of his own wood element, Lao Wu could clearly feel that the Dragon Tomb's confinement on him was slowly weakening until it was gone. Relaxed, he knew it meant he could leave.
"Hahaha, how many years, I'm still leaving, Dragonman, I'm sorry, although you saved me, but I also helped you guard the tomb for hundreds of years, let's clear the two" Lao Wu knelt down and bowed three times to the stone gate.
Although the dragon man did not say a word to Lao Wu, and even regarded Lao Wu as a grave keeper, Lao Wu never hated the dragon man. From beginning to end, he only repays the favor to the dragons, and has no hatred.
Lao Wu got up slowly, stroked the stone door and said, "Goodbye, old friend! ”
Lao Wu looked at the endless space in front of him, he didn't have the fear in his heart, and he just had an urgent desire to leave here.
He stepped out of the Dragon's Tomb.
In an instant, without the protection of the power of the Dragon Tomb, Lao Wu knew the horror of the power of space, and he summoned his own wood element
to protect yourself from the forces of space.
Old Wu drifted aimlessly into the distance, he didn't know where he was going, and he didn't know when he would be eroded and die by the power of space due to the exhaustion of the elemental power.
However, these are much better than staying alone in the Dragon Tomb.
I don't know how long it took, but Lao Wu sensed that his elemental power was about to be exhausted.
"After all, didn't you escape death?" Lao Wu opened his eyes that had been silent for a long time.
"Alas, well, maybe death is also a relief," Lao Wu sighed.
Hundreds of years of experience had exhausted him physically and mentally, and he closed his eyes again, giving up resistance, letting the power of space slowly erode his body.
At this moment, a pitch-black spatial crack suddenly appeared in front of him. However, Lao Wu had already closed his consciousness and couldn't perceive the situation outside, and his body could only drift forward with the power of space until he entered the crack.
As for why Lao Wu was not eroded to death by the power of space, this may be related to the power of the Dragon Tomb, the nourishment of the power of the Dragon Tomb gave him a strong physique no less than that of the Dragon Clan, even without the protection of the wood element, Lao Wu could survive for an hour under the erosion of the power of space.
