Volume 1 Volume 1 Volume 002 The Old Man of the Stone

The octopus had another arm stretched out to Xiao Yi, and at this time he had no way to retreat. Now let go of your hands to save yourself, then the dog meat is bound to lose its life. If it is to save the dog meat, then the new wrist and foot will entangle themselves as well.

"Dog meat, hold your breath!"

Xiao Yi suddenly gave up pulling, rushed forward with both feet and jumped out holding the dog meat. With the strength of their wrists and feet, they rushed directly into a pool of water.

Although octopuses occasionally come out of the water, they are still aquatic animals. Xiao Yi confirmed that the direction of the other party must be in the water, so this rush will not be hurt too much.

The octopus obviously didn't expect the other party to give up pulling, and was a little caught off guard by the momentum. I only heard a sound of falling water, and the wrists and feet wrapped around the dog's body were actually released. But this does not mean that the octopus has given up on the prey in hand, a little of its toe touched Xiao Yi's wrist and directly spread and wrapped up.

"Get out of here...... Grunt...... Go out...... Gollum ......"

Xiao Yi took the opportunity to poke out of the water to warn loudly, urging the dog meat to get out quickly, and without waiting for him to say another word, the whole person was pulled into the water again.

Visibility is low, but it's a rarity for dog meat. Seeing that Xiao Yi was captured, one of the dogs in the sea turned over and rushed back.

Someone suddenly kicked hard in front of him, and Dog Meat saw Xiao Yi desperately preventing himself from rescuing, and his heart was also flustered. It doesn't know what to do is the right thing to do. He wanted to protect his master, but his master ordered him to flee quickly.

"Monkey! only it can help its master!" Dog Meat could no longer care about the pain in his body, and quickly swam towards the entrance of the cave not far away. It forgot that the Seven Spirits were forbidden outside and could not enter to rescue, and it only had this life-saving straw in its heart to rescue.

As he was about to reach the entrance of the cave, a tentacle suddenly reached out from behind the dog, and only wrapped around its flipper-like hind feet. Although it struggled to swim forward, the pull from behind it made it powerless to break free.

Suddenly, its head was grabbed by a pair of hands, and the force of the other party's pull almost broke the dog's backbone, but fortunately, with help, its entire body was finally dragged out of the cave.

A figure quickly dropped the dog's meat, grabbed the wrist and foot tentacles that were wrapped around it, and dragged a huge object out in the blink of an eye.

The dog saw a wrist and foot wrapped around Xiao Yi, and it hurriedly rushed up, but before it could move, it fell heavily to the ground in front of its eyes.

The force of this fall made the dog feel dizzy, and his stomach was tumbling and almost wanting to vomit. Before it could figure out what was going on, a heavy object fell on top of its head.

"Squeak! squeak!"

Seven Spirits stood on the head of a huge octopus and shouted desperately downward, and the dog meat quickly pounced on the octopus to rescue Xiao Yi, who was already unconscious. At this time, Xiao Yi's ears, mouth and nose kept flowing out of the seawater, and the whole person was not a little angry.

"Squeak!"

Seven Spirits jumped down to Xiao Yi, followed by a burst of jumping. At first, the dog meat was afraid that it would hurt Xiao Yi, but when he saw that the owner actually breathed after spitting out a large mouthful of seawater in his mouth, he hurriedly pressed Xiao Yi's chest and abdomen in the same way, and soon heard a familiar word.

"Don't ...... Don't press it...... Re-press ...... Only...... and died......"

Seven Spirits jumped onto the grass and looked at Xiao Yi nervously. Dog meat also pounced in front of Xiao Yi, looking at his face full of seawater.

After a long time, Xiao Yi struggled to get up. The bones all over his body seemed to be broken, and he had to vomit from time to time, although he had nothing to vomit about, but at this time he couldn't stop himself.

"Where are we now?"

"Squeak!"

Xiao Yi looked at Qiling, then turned his head to look at the dog meat on the side.

"Master, the monkey said it was in the spirit beast bag. ”

"I know it's in the spirit beast bag. I'm asking where is the spirit beast bag? You won't let the spirit beast bag sink to the bottom of the sea, right? If it gets stuck in the rock, we won't have room to get out when we want to. ”

Xiao Yi's reminder suddenly made all eyes focus on Qi Ling's body. The little guy let out a strange cry of nonchalant, and in an instant jumped to the top of the hole and disappeared.

"Dog meat, do you see if this big guy is dead?"

Xiao Yat stabbed the octopus on the side with his hand, and then collapsed to the ground weakly. Dog Meat went up to inspect it when he heard this, and finally concluded that the octopus should be dead. Even if he didn't die, he was completely unconscious. Because it can't feel the octopus's breathing, and even if this thing is killed, it will be uncontrollably wound around its wrists and feet.

"No, if it comes back to life, we're going to be ravaged by it again, and we have to find a way. ”

Xiao Yat looked around and finally found a detached rock on the side. Removing a sharp piece of gravel, Xiao Yat cautiously walked back to the octopus.

How can this thing be used to kill it? Before Xiao Yi could make a move, the octopus in front of him suddenly disappeared out of thin air, along with dog meat.

"Hey, Seven Spirits, what's wrong?"

Xiao Yi shouted loudly overhead, but there was no response for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, Xiao Yi felt that the things in front of him changed, and he appeared on the shore of the island again.

"Master, the monkey said that the big octopus crushed a lot of trees in it, so it pulled me and the octopus out just now. Now that it's ashore, it lets you out to breathe. The monkey also said that the octopus had made it smell fishy, and that it would not go in for the past few days. ”

Dog Meat said as he looked back. I saw the seven spirits dragging a bowl of thick wrists and feet from the sea and walking towards the shore step by step.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi hurriedly reached out to help pull, and gradually a several-foot-long octopus corpse appeared.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the clouds on the horizon were also hung with a layer of golden-red light. This night's fierce underwater battle made Xiao Yi and them suffer a lot, but they finally got a rich reward.

Through the relay of dog meat, Xiao Yat successfully opened his storage bag. However, because his storage bag is of a high grade, every time Qi Ling opens it, Xiao Yi needs to use blood as a guide to see the contents inside.

Xiao Yi got a short sword and a few bottles of healing elixir. This time he didn't take out all the things, he was afraid that the Seven Spirits would mess things up.

After cutting the octopus, Xiao Yat hung most of the meat to dry. He is no longer a cultivator, and he has to do more of this kind of farming, fishing, and hunting.

After another five days, Xiao Yat and his party returned to the bottom of the sea. With the experience of the last time, this time when he entered the water, Xiao Yi brought a fluorite pearl with him. This thing is not a spiritual treasure, but it emits a faint glow at night. Ordinary princes and ministers will often decorate a piece in their homes.

Surfacing, Xiao Yi took out the pearl, and the scene in the surroundings immediately became clear.

This is an ancient underwater cave, and it would be more appropriate to say that it is an underwater ruin. It's just that the years have passed, and the four miles have been encroached upon by mussel shells and seaweed, and the stone walls of the buildings on the shore are covered with lichen moss. There is no longer the glory of the past.

After walking more than ten feet, Xiao Yi came to a gate. Looking up at the stone gate, which was seven or eight feet high, Xiao Yi could be sure that he could neither fly up nor push open the stone gate now.

Touching the traces of the dust of the years on it, Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh: "I have the heart to unseal it, but I don't have the opportunity to watch it!"

The sound in the cave echoed continuously, originally just Xiao Yi's words of emotion, but now it sounded like a sigh from this ruin.

Xiao Yi patted the stone door lightly, turned around and was about to leave. Since there is no chance to go in, it is undoubtedly not advisable to delay time here. But just as he turned around, the stone door behind him slowly opened. A ray of light instantly covered the brilliance of the fluorite in Xiao Yi's hand.

Xiao Yi looked back in surprise, and saw that inside the stone gate was a brilliant and dustless square temple, he had just stepped into it with his front feet, and then the stone door was closed, as if it had never been opened.

It was a square square the size of a hundred feet, and the ground was paved with immaculate white stone slabs, each three feet long and one foot wide. The gaps between the stone slabs were not filled, but there was not a trace of dust in them. In the middle of the square stands a ten-zhang tall white jade statue, which looks like an old man with crane hair and a childish face. Xiao Yat found that no matter from which angle he looked at it, the old man of the statue was smiling, giving people a sense of kindness.

Bypassing the stone statue, Xiao Yat came to the main entrance of the main hall in front of him. This is the only building here, and it is snow-white and not half variegated. Xiao Yi stretched out his hand to touch it, but felt that his hand was warm, giving people a feeling that it looked like jade but not jade.

The ground surface of the main hall is covered with gray square bricks, each of which is enough to have a zhang, and thirty-six delicate white futons are lined up on both sides, this kind of material that looks like silk is not silk Xiao Yi has never seen. Twelve dragon jade pillars support the entire building, looking up at the dragon head lifelike, if there is no jade roof to cover, there is a momentum to go straight to the sky at any time.

Directly in front is a platform of three levels and nine steps, which is covered with cloud patterns, and in the middle is placed a huge dragon chair five zhang long and two zhang high, on which the nine dragons are pan clouds, and below it are the rare birds and beasts of the four seas.

"What kind of domineering is this that only an emperor has?" Xiao Yi has been accustomed to the luxury of the emperor's family since he was a child, but compared with here, what he saw in the early years was a hundred times inferior.

Xiao Yi came to the jade platform and sat gently in the middle of the dragon chair. Before he could sigh, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of him. Seeing someone appear, Xiao Yi hurriedly got up from the dragon chair and tried to dodge, but his ass was raised, and the image of those people disappeared again.

"Is this the illusion I just sat down?"

Xiao Yi tried to sit on the dragon chair again, and a group of figures appeared in the hall. They were dressed in white, young and old, and each sat quietly on the futon.

"You're here!"

Suddenly, an old voice sounded, and Xiao Yi hurriedly got up to check. But there was no figure in the empty hall, and there was no sound. As if nothing had ever happened.

Xiao Yi sat down again, and the thirty-six people in front of him reappeared. The voice rang in his ears again.

"Don't panic. The old man's real body is not here. All you hear is the voice of the old man who has been here for a long time. ”

"Senpai is talking to me?"

Xiao Yi asked tentatively, and soon the voice in his ears rang again.

"What Daoyou said is extremely true. The old man's words are for you to hear. ”

People are not here, but they can still ask and answer, which is weird and exciting. Xiao Yi hurriedly cleared his throat and asked out loud: "I don't know what the seniors want to instruct?" ”

"If you can come here, that is because you and I are fated. The old man's Yichen store was originally set up for Taoist friends. ”

The old man's voice didn't seem to be displeased, but comforted Xiao Yi in a kind tone.

"Seniors know that Xiao will come today?" Xiao Yi was a little overwhelmed. If it was really to build such a magnificent temple for himself, it would be too exaggerated.

Daoyou laughed, the old man didn't know when Daoyou would come. But the old man can foresee that one day this gate will be opened, and it will definitely be a Taoist friend. ”

Although the old voice said unhurriedly, the confidence in his tone was undoubtedly revealed.

"Dare to ask the seniors about their names, and Xiao Yi is ashamed of the love of his predecessors. ”

Xiao Yi was already feeling uneasy at this time, could he have been calculated by this master thousands of years ago?

"Don't mention the old man's common name, after attaining enlightenment, the world will call me the old man of the stubborn stone, you can also call me that. The world is changing, the vicissitudes of life, only the most inconspicuous stubborn stone remains unchanged. Because it is not worth a penny, no one will sell it, and even if it is to build roads and houses, it is just a change of form. ”

The old man seemed to be very proud when he said it, and this kind of pride was not a show off, but a sign of contentment.

"I wonder how the elder of the stubborn stone knows that he will be here in the next place, and what is there to accomplish in the next place?"

Xiao Yat really wants to know the reason why he came here as soon as possible, and only by knowing the ins and outs can he find the context of the matter.

"Fellow Daoists came here because of curiosity, and then what you experienced before was what the old man wanted. ”

The old man paused for a moment, and then said, "If it weren't for curiosity, you wouldn't have pushed open the stone door and entered here. Cultivators are cautious, and if they don't have to, they won't rush into dangerous places at all. Although the old man's Yichen Palace has only one stone gate, when a greedy person enters it, he will see a different scene. Besides, there is nothing long in the old man's Yichen Palace, and if he wants to ask for a treasure, he will eventually return empty-handed. The second is that the experience of Taoist friends meets the needs of the old man. If the old man is right, Daoyou was also a monk before, but he has no chance of immortal dao in this life after cultivating to the end of his life, right?"

The old man said it easily, but what he said was the biggest pain in Xiao Yi's heart now.

"If a person has not been exposed to cultivation, then it is very likely that he will live this life in an ordinary way. There is no difference between gain and loss. But Daoists have been in contact with Xiuzhen, and in the end there is no immortal fate, this kind of ups and downs is the most depressing and desperate. The old man's Yichen Palace, mortals can't enter, cultivators can't enter, and in the future, when the bottom of the sea is silent, no one can enter. "Obviously, the Old Man of the Rock is quite comfortable with the ban here, but he seems to have miscalculated something.

"Senior, I found this place at the bottom of the sea, so it should be the future you said, right?"

The old man's speech was paused for a while, and after a while, he continued: "It's been so long? The old man thought that Daoyou would appear in 100,000 years, but now it seems that I have missed it. Ashamed, ashamed......"

"What do the seniors want to instruct? I hope the seniors will say it clearly. As long as it doesn't violate morality, I'm willing to do my best to achieve what my predecessors want. ”

In this world, as long as it does not violate morality, Xiao Yi really has nothing to dare to do. In the past, he wandered the rivers and lakes to hoe the strong and help the weak, and later he mixed up and cultivated the truth and did not forget his original intention. Now that I have nothing, I am not afraid to lose if I have nothing. If you can do something meaningful with the rest of your life, then why not?

"It's not a big deal. The old man had a set of exercises, and Dayan calculated that it should fall into decay soon after the old man left. The old man just didn't want the experience accumulated by his predecessors, and what the old man had learned all his life was finally forgotten by the world. Therefore, I want Daoyou to renew the Yichen inheritance and carry forward our faction. ”

Xiao Yi smiled helplessly when he heard this, what else can he talk about in his current predicament?

"The predecessors are looking for a few Xiuzhen Tiancai light lintels with good qualifications and good character, right? ”

"The Taoist friend misunderstood, the old man wanted the Taoist friend to carry forward the exercises of his own sect, not to ask the Taoist friend to fake others. What's more, the old man, this heaven and earth is not something that everyone can cultivate. ”

"What?" Xiao Yi blurted out in surprise. This well-known exercise in the cultivation world was actually handed down by the old man of the stubborn stone, and he couldn't see any mystery in the exercise, but it really made the imperial grandmother a treasure at the beginning.

"Could it be that Daoist friends have heard of the exercises of my sect?

The old man's tone was full of suspicion, which made Xiao Yi not know how to explain it.

"Senior, the cultivation realm is almost known to everyone about the existence of heaven and earth. At the beginning, I bought a copy from a vendor. At that time, I entered the cultivation of the truth at the beginning of the next year, so I didn't know that it was a remnant of the Heavenly Que. Fortunately, the price was not expensive, only two spirit stones were spent, and in the end, they also gave away the next spirit fruit. ”

When he remembered what happened to him at the beginning, Xiao Yi felt funny. I originally had a volume, but I actually bought one for a spirit stone. However, the Spiritual Enhancement Fruit obtained by accident at that time helped him a lot in the future.

"You can buy two spirit stones, Daoist friends aren't joking, right?Why will my sect practice fall to such a state in the future?" Wait......" The old man was silent for a while, and then asked tentatively: "You said that you bought two spirit stones in Tianque, so how much is the value of the earth que I sent?"

"Senior, the land has long been lost. As for the Tianque Gongfa, because it cannot be cultivated, the price is getting lower and lower. It is more appropriate to say that it is not so much a book of exercises as an ancient book. No one has printed this book for thousands of years. ”

There was silence on the side of the old man for a while, and after a long time, he spoke again in silence: "Sure enough, it finally declined." ”

"Seniors don't need to be too sad, although you can't learn the exercises of your sect, there are still many cultivators who will use them for enlightenment. This is also a book that does not insult your faction. ”

"What is not insulting the classics! In the end, the sect is gone, and no one has studied the classics, isn't this still insulting? Daoyou, the old man helps you cultivate the truth, are you willing to take over the position of the fifth generation of the Immortal Emperor of my Yichen Palace?"

The old man's tone changed suddenly, and he resolutely made Xiao Yi feel a pleading. This feeling is like the helplessness and trust of the dying orphan, which makes Xiao Yi feel like a thousand pounds on his shoulders.
