Volume 1 Volume 1 004 has not yet arrived
Xiao Yi walked outside the cave, looked at the sun that had climbed three poles, and felt that the whole person was refreshed.
After a night of cultivation, although he didn't fail to recover his old strength, now he can perceive his surroundings with divine sense, which is already a big improvement.
"I can't use my divine sense to pick up the contents yet, but I don't have a problem looking at them. Xiao Yi took the storage bag in his hand and observed the contents with satisfaction. Immediately, he stretched out his hand to summon Qiling, and said with a smile: "Little guy, there is a rectangular box in my storage bag, you help me take it out, I want to try it." ”
He cut his fingertips with his nails, and a little blood oozed out. Qiling climbed onto Xiao Yi's arm, quickly found a wooden box from inside, and took out two bunches of grapes.
"Why do you still carry private goods? You don't have a good habit of doing this. Xiao Yi took the wooden box and patted it lightly on the top of Qiling's head. The monkey grimaced at him and quickly jumped to the dog's side.
"Squeak, squeak!"
Qi Ling took a bunch of grapes and stuffed it into the dog's mouth, but he didn't want the dog's meat to resist desperately, as if he was being forced to poison.
"Help, master!"
Dog Meat desperately broke free from the clutches of the Seven Spirits, shouting desperately as he headed towards the waterhole.
"That's grapes, is there such a fuss?"
Xiao Yi saw Dog Meat and Qiling running desperately one after the other, and immediately laughed back and forth.
"I know it's grapes, but it's not as desperate as it is to stuff it into its mouth! I'm a fur seal, not a whale! I'm going to choke to death!"
The dog meat jumped into the water and never dared to show its head again. Only the Seven Spirits were left standing in the waterhole, and they jumped and shouted below. It is also ripe for water, but it thinks that grapes can only be enjoyed on shore. Once in the water, it is disrespectful to the grapes.
Xiao Yi gently stroked the wooden box, and his heart was filled with infinite emotion. This is the arrow box he bought at a high price in the market, although he can only control one arrow at a time, but at the beginning, he said that it was controlled by his divine sense, and he should be able to control it barely if he has no spiritual power now.
His hand gently caressed a red hedron on the case, and he threw his sense into the case, locking onto one of the arrows, which with a cheerful groan of joy pierced through the case and circled around Xiao Yat's body.
"Broken!"
Xiao Yijian pointed ahead, and the arrow instantly hit the target. It was a leaf that fell slowly seven feet away, and the arrow went straight to the past, but there was still a long distance from this arrow that actually lost its accuracy, and went straight through the trajectory of the falling leaves, and was thrown far into the sea. Fortunately, these thirty-six arrows can be re-condensed, and there is no need to worry that they will be lost, but Xiao Yi's expression became gloomy.
I thought that I wanted to shoot a strand of the enemy's hair at the beginning, and I would never shave the opponent's sideburns. But now I can only control it accurately within the range of five zhang, which is undoubtedly a feeling of being overstretched.
"Sure enough, he still didn't come back. ”
"Master, what are you looking at?"
Dog Meat crawled to Xiao Yat's side and looked into the distance in the direction of his gaze.
"I'm looking at the sea. ”
Xiao Yat looked at the undulating sea in the distance, and looked at the sky covered by clouds and mist in the distance.
"What's so nice about the sea? I still think it's good for us to have the island. You can lie down in the flowers and plants with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about your life all the time. ”
Dog Meat lazily straightened up, enjoying the tranquility of the moment.
"I felt like I was facing the sea and I was small. Isn't it a bit greedy to think that I can't control the ocean? How do you feel that a single wave can tear me apart and make me look like myself? ”
"The master is not like himself, what is it like?"
Dog Meat was originally playing with a weed with his nose, and when he heard Xiao Yi's words, he looked up at Xiao Yi curiously and asked.
"Like a piece of driftwood, or a fallen leaf. Those who go with the flow have no control over their own direction at all. I don't know how long it will take to get ashore or when it will sink to the bottom of the sea. ”
Xiao Yat's heart swelled with sentimentality, and the focus of his eyes was gradually replaced by a haze.
"Master, I don't understand what you said, but I also feel that I can't control myself when I am being carried on the sea. So every time I entered the water, I got underwater. There are a lot of currents that I have to dodge constantly, but I use their power when I go downstream. This sea is as complicated as you say, and every time I enter the water, I tell myself that this is my sea. I know I'm slow on land, so I'm always bullied by monkeys. But when I went down to the sea, no matter how strong I was, it couldn't catch up with me in speed. Master, do you say I like the sea or not? If the owner has such a sea where he can play his strengths, do you think the master will still feel pressure?"
In the heart of the dog, this sea is simply the best battlefield for himself to escape from the monkeys. So far, at least, the dogmeat battle has managed to escape every time.
"I don't have your skills right now, you are like a fish in the sea, but I can't. The last time I went to the cave, I almost didn't choke to death. ”
Xiao Yat turned around and walked to the door of the cave, when he suddenly stopped, and an arrow flew out and levitated in front of him. He stared at the arrow, watching it sway from side to side, and his mind grew alive. But the corners of his mouth curled, and the arrow spun and began to move around him.
"So you can still use it like this? This thing is not only a weapon for attacking, but also a good weapon for protection. The arrows around Xiao Yat swam faster and faster, gradually turning into afterimages. After a while, he was enveloped by a layer of phantom.
"In the future, you will be called a talisman arrow, within five zhang, it will be your world!"
"Squeak! squeak!"
Qiling looked at Xiao Yi and screamed, and its dancing behavior made Xiao Yi look inexplicable.
"Dog meat, what do you mean by the Seven Spirits?
"The monkey said, "It's not good at all." You can use it to protect yourself with a stone and you can break it. It's going to throw two stones, and you're going to be punched out of a big bag. ”
Xiao Yi's heart moved, and the talisman arrow disappeared out of thin air, he sighed lightly, and said casually: "How many are as perverted as it? ”
"Yes! Monkeys are perverts!"
Dog Meat nodded in agreement, and seeing the Seven Spirits looking at him with bad intentions, it hurriedly crawled towards the waterhole, and hid in an instant.
In the cave, Xiao Yat sat cross-legged on the couch, and when he tried to call the old man again, the other party did not answer.
According to what Master said, his contemplation technique is only cultivated to the first level, and it is still a superficial method at the entry level. In the future, if you want to make more progress, it will be thousands of times more difficult than the previous cultivation of martial arts. The Divine Condensation Technique itself is the control of spiritual power, and it cannot be tempered according to the operation of the meridians, so every time it is cultivated or used, it is an extremely exhausting thing for Xiao Yi. Every day he would sleep soundly for a long time, and even so, when he regained his energy, he still felt that his cultivation had not improved at all.
After half a month, Xiao Yi woke up from his deep sleep in the early morning, and a familiar voice suddenly came from his mind: "Thirty-three, are you looking for an old man?"
Xiao Yi's original confused sleepiness disappeared in an instant, and he hurriedly asked, "Master, why did it take so long for your old man to contact me?"
"What did you say? The old man just went out to help you......
The old man of the stubborn stone said halfway, and then he remembered something, and suddenly changed his words: "The time flow here for the teacher is different from yours. So it's not always possible to find an old man. But you can rest assured that as long as the old man is there, he will help you answer your doubts. As long as it's not about the future, you can feel free to ask questions. ”
Seeing that the old man seemed to be hiding something, Xiao Yi's interest was aroused. So he asked, "Master, does your old man have something to hide from the apprentice?" If you don't say this, the more itchy I will be, so if the apprentice doesn't ask for clarification, he won't give up." ”
Xiao Yi is unrelenting, and this habit of bluntly asking for answers is estimated to only show in front of the master. No matter how complicated things are, Xiao Yat will find the answer by himself. He doesn't believe the results given by others, because many times what others give them is part of the results that they deliberately conceal, which is far from the truth. But the answer given by the master is different, if he is not careful, he will be wiped out of the whole world by himself, and he does not dare to deviate from this matter at all.
"Actually, there's no problem, it's just that the time on the teacher's side is a little different from your time. The first time we contacted was synchronous, when the first time the master successfully refined and used the time disk, it should be when you opened the Jade Palace. But then you communicated with the teacher a few times......"
"Master, we just communicated for the second time, did you remember wrong?" Xiao Yi hurriedly explained when he heard this.
"Didn't you say that after listening to the teacher, didn't you say that? The timeline of your side is a little different from that of the teacher. Just now, I wondered why you asked the teacher to do those things for you, but now it seems that the old man forgot to remind you. It's not too late, it's not too late. ”
After the old man finished speaking, he sighed again, which made Xiao Yi's truth-seeking heart more and more unbearable.
"Master, what have you done, and how long has it been since I first contacted you?"
"How do you say this? Master Wei remembers that the first time I talked to you was more than 9,000 years ago, and then I was busy teaching your three junior disciples, and I spent 9,200 years in the palace. But you should also understand that when you are a senior brother, you won't be jealous with your junior brother, right? ”
"Master, why do I have three more junior disciples?"
"This is not the point, the point is that the teacher has been helping you deal with things for the past hundred years, so it can be seen that the teacher is ......" The old man of the stubborn stone wanted to say more, and suddenly changed his words: "It seems that the teacher can't talk to you too much, after all, this is not good for you." ”
"Master, you have done something for me for a hundred years, and now you remember to remind me. Can I understand that you are tired and regretful, and you want to dissuade me?"
Xiao Yi was almost mad by the words of the old man of the stubborn stone, this kind of old man actually helped himself run away for a hundred years in the future, and now he told himself that he still had the face to say that he forgot to say it.
"Thirty-three, as the teacher said, the timeline here is different from yours. You said that the teacher deliberately harmed you, and the teacher is now telling you not to let the teacher do things for you, so do you remember?
Xiao Yi was dumbfounded, because if the old man was helping him to do things in the future, then he was deliberately letting him do things knowing that he couldn't do anything. Is this chaotic flow of time due to the mistake I made first or the teacher telling me that it was too late?
"Alright, don't worry about these things. What I have done for my teacher before is the fate of our master and apprentice, but it is right that I will not help you do things for my teacher in the future. Anyway, what questions are you asking the old man this time?"
Regarding the attitude of the old man, Xiao Yi was completely speechless. Why do you find it difficult to accept the problem, and the other party actually says to put it down?
"Teacher, can you ask two questions outside of studying? You can help me answer them, or you can refuse to answer them. ”
"Say, I'll see what the problem is. ”
The old man replied helplessly. It seems that if these two problems are not solved, maybe Xiao Yi will have to struggle for a long time.
"Master, how many apprentices do you still have to take? Even if my senior brother is older than me, why is my junior brother so much older than me? They have been dead for hundreds of thousands of years, and I haven't even been born yet. If they knew that their senior brother was in the distant future, wouldn't they feel absurd in their hearts?"
Xiao Yi paused and quietly waited for the old man's reply. It took a long time before the other party's voice came slowly.
"Thirty-three, I remember that you once asked how many more disciples you would accept as a teacher. Now I have good news for the teacher, I just set up an immortal banquet for the teacher, and the mountain has been officially closed. Except for you, all the disciples of the teacher came. ”
The old man's tone revealed joy, and he seemed to have let go of an important matter.
"Master, why did it take half a day to contact me this time? How long has it been since you got there? You said that all the disciples are here, so how many people are there? How many more junior disciples do I want to have?"
"It's definitely not going to be a problem. I remember talking to you 10,000 years ago for my teacher, and I realized the seriousness of the problem at that time. Therefore, in order to complete the teaching to you, a warning palace was specially built for the teacher. Every time you ask a question about being a teacher, it is recorded on the jade plaque. The time, the problem, and the teacher were all recorded on the jade plaque one by one. If you were someone else, these more than 17,000 jade plaques would have to be used for a lifetime just to check them. Let me look at the question this time, you ask yourself how many juniors and disciples......" The old man was silent again, but this time he only stopped for a cup of tea.
"You have five juniors. ”
"Master, why are there two more people? Then my second question is ......."
"You may have been a little delayed before you wanted to find a teacher for advice, but after the teacher returned to seclusion, he devoted himself to studying the law of time, so he specially built a warning palace for you. Just now, the teacher has answered all your cultivation questions one by one in a timely manner. ”
"But, Master, I haven't asked you yet. ”
"This ...... Aren't you asking if I'm always ready to answer my cultivation questions?"
"yes. ”
"What's that? Repeat the question. ”
"I'm going to ask you if you encounter problems with your cultivation, Master, will you always show up in time. But I didn't ask, and you gave the answer. ”
"Thirty-three asked, will the old man appear at any time to answer the cultivation questions. This one is a bit of a hassle, you wait. ”
Xiao Yi was speechless for a moment. Some say putting the cart before the horse may be derogatory. But this matter is placed in the hands of his own master, and that is the truth. He didn't bother to ask now, and this time it was tens of thousands of years later, because he couldn't accept the answer if he asked.
"Master, I have an answer here, but it's not a problem. ”
"Tell me about it. ”
"I'm thinking, since I have asked Master so many questions, you have helped me do a lot of things. Does that mean I'll live a long time?"
Xiao Yi's eyes were clear, and the corners of his mouth hung a trace of curvature. Although the old man of the stubborn stone does things upside down, he often loses everything. But the message he conveyed also revealed part of his future trajectory.
"Thirty-three, I warn you for the teacher. Some unknowns are uncontrollable. Once the Heavenly Dao sends down the punishment, then all your future will be wiped out from this world. The easiest way is for the Heavenly Dao to erase you through something, and then find some divine thought to replace your existence and continue to talk to the teacher. In this way, history will not change, but the future will return to the control of the Heavenly Dao. So don't think you can do whatever you want when you see the future. Because the future is coming, that is, it is not yet to come. ”
Hearing the explanation of the old man, Xiao Yi suddenly felt a chill. If you are replaced, it is really the easiest. It seems that the doorway of this time is really not something that can be mastered with a little cleverness.
Now that I think about it, my master is so powerful, didn't he fall in ancient times? If he accidentally lost his life in vain, then in order to repair the trajectory of time, Heavenly Dao is afraid that he will make another self. Besides, Master said that there are more than 10,000 jade plaques that record his own problems, and two jade plaques have been recorded just now. In this way, I don't have many opportunities to ask Master for advice. After all, no matter how rigorous your questions are, who knows how many times the master will record them, no matter how many times you control the number of questions you ask?
"Master, can you teach me the Heaven and Earth Que. In this way, the disciples can easily find the problem and ask the master for advice at any time, so as to ensure that every question will not waste a piece of the master's painstaking efforts. "This exercise can be said to be the most important thing for Xiao Yat. If you record the entire set of exercises at one time, you can save a lot of questions. Although this is very demanding of himself, fortunately, he has been good at memorizing books since he was a child. As long as he concentrates on one thing, he has the confidence to record it in one go?
When the old man heard this, he was silent for a while, and after a long time, a voice came from Xiao Yi's mind.
"Now that the teacher will teach you the Heaven and Earth Que, remember that this exercise should not be taught to others lightly. ”
The wind is howling on the sea, but if you look down from the sky, you will find that there are two patches of fog on the sea that will not collapse and move in the slightest regardless of climate change.
On one of the islands, a young man is retelling an awkward passage of ancient text. Hundreds of thousands of words of exercises were memorized in his mind word by word, and no matter the storm in the outside world, it never shook him in the slightest.
After three days, the clouds opened and the fog dispersed.
Seven Spirits and Dog Meat were pleasantly surprised to find that Xiao Yat appeared at the entrance of the cave. In the past few days, Dog Meat was still worried about Xiao Yi, for fear that something would happen to him. But several attempts to enter were forcibly stopped by the Seven Spirits. Now that Xiao Yi has come out, Dog Meat is glad that he listened to the monkey's words and did not go in to disturb Xiao Yi when he was cultivating.
Qiling regretted blocking the dog meat, because Xiao Yi, who came out at this time, had a gloomy face and a tired expression. His lips were already chapped and bloody, and his bloodshot eyes were surrounded by heavy dark circles.
"Seven Spirits...... Help...... Help me...... ...... food"
Xiao Yat fell. After three days and four nights of sleepless recounting, he used up all his energy. It didn't matter if he didn't eat, but he didn't even drink a sip of water during this time. Because he was afraid that if he interrupted once, he would waste the opportunity to seek advice. Now that it's all recorded, he's finally able to sleep......
