Chapter 18: Conversation
Stepping into the alley, what greeted him was a dazzling white light, Ji Yan couldn't help but raise his eyes, and when the white light dissipated, he found that the original bustling crowd had disappeared, replaced by an endless vastness.
It seemed that he was the only one left between heaven and earth, the sky was white, the brown earth under his feet, he couldn't see the edge at a glance, he couldn't help but walk forward, because he couldn't discern the direction, so he just walked aimlessly. After walking for a long time, even he couldn't hold his breath, "Where have I beenβ" he shouted hysterically.
"Is there anyone? I didn't have this level in the exam, so send me out quickly. "I know the third senior brother of the academy, he recommended me here. "Lao Tzu won't take the exam, you hurry up and let me out-" After shouting for a long time, no one paid attention to him, and finally Ji Yan sat down on the ground paralyzed, still cursing the examiner and everything here in his heart, he thought that if he wanted to stay here for the rest of his life, it would be better to die head-on.
Anyway, since he couldn't get out, he just waited, so he took out his handbook from his bosom and began to study. I don't know how long later, he felt weakness in his limbs, and his stomach began to bark non-stop, he looked around helplessly, and found that there was no edible thing or water source, so he swallowed his saliva and slowly closed his eyes.
The human body when sleeping is the time when energy consumption is the lowest, and it is also the only way Ji Yan can think of at this moment, but the feeling of emptiness in his abdomen makes him unable to sleep, and the hot pain caused by the friction of the stomach wall also tortures his nerves all the time, and the pain of hunger is not the strongest but definitely one of the most unbearable feelings. It is said that there was an elderly man who experienced a natural disaster, but he was so hungry that he built a wall with potatoes after the disaster ended.
Ji Yan had not experienced that kind of disaster, but at this time he was indeed almost at the limit, because there was no sun, so he didn't know how long it had been, he only had one thought in his heart, if he had to die, then he couldn't starve to death, at least he had to die decently.
Just when he was about to despair, an abrupt voice sounded: "Do you feel very lonely?" Ji Yan looked up and found an old man standing in front of him, and at this moment, he didn't care about it, and directly hugged the old man's thigh. "Old gentleman, old gentleman" Ji Yan snorted and cried, "It's a coming, if you don't come, I'm ready to break it myself." β
Ji Yan looked at him again, licked his dry lips and said, "That, do you have anything to eat at the old man's house?" The old man looked at him again, and said with emotion in his eyes, "It is indeed very similar." β
"Like what? I just want to have a good meal right now. Ji Yan said: "If you can't save me, you should say something." After hearing this, the old man smiled kindly and said: "Don't worry, I still have a lot to say, you have stayed here for a while, have you gained anything?" "Ji Yan is about to go crazy, he is going to die, this old man still came to chat with him, is there any sympathy.
"With the cultivation that you have just entered the Qi Gathering Realm, you can't break the illusion here at all, and you can't even enter the threshold, let alone the six arts exams in the back, why did you enter the academy. The old man said kindly again, but no matter how Ji Yan looked at it, he felt that he was talking coldly.
"It's my business whether I can get in or not, and I know that there is little hope, but I have to do my best, and if you don't save it, you can leave quickly, and there is no need to say this here. After speaking, Ji Yan felt like he was going to faint. Ji Yan looked up at the calm old man in front of him again, and couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in his heart, "Old manββ, I'll go to your uncle." After Ji Yan finished scolding, he fainted.
The old man was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then shook his head and smiled and said to himself, "The temper of young people nowadays is really stinky, and they don't know how to respect the old and love the young. β
"You old immortal have something to be respected. "Not far away, a black gap gradually widened, and someone had cut through the space. Immediately, a figure walked out, wearing a gray cloth robe, his hair was pulled up with an ebony hairpin, his temples were slightly white, and a jade belt was tied around his waist, he did not look noble, and the goatee on his chin made him look a little funny.
The old man did not get angry when he heard the other party's disrespectful words, but greeted him in a very cordial tone. "It's been a long time, old fellow, but you shouldn't be here. After hearing this, the man in gray laughed loudly: "The world is so big, I can't go anywhere." "Then I'll see if you die. The old man said unhurriedly.
"You are still so fond of fighting for the advantage of your tongue, no matter what, I will not fight with you today, give me that boy, you should know that only I am the most suitable to teach him. The man in gray looked at the old man and said firmly.
"Empty mouth and white teeth, as soon as your mouth moves, you want to ask for someone from me, do you say you are beautiful or want to be beautiful. The old man teased again.
"This kid has the power of space, and there is no one in the world who is more familiar with the space field than me, and who is more suitable to teach him than me. β
"Don't worry, I'll teach him myself. The old man said. You know that this is impossible, time and space are the supreme laws, and getting one is already the favor of God, if you have to go against the sky, you should know the consequences. β
"I naturally know the consequences, but you also know that after solving that incident, there will be a battle between the academy and the Daomen, so I won't hand him over to you. β
"He's probably not dead. After a long time, the man in gray said slowly. "But even if you don't die, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back. β
"It's come to this, I don't want to say more, let's go back. The old man said. The man in gray glanced at Ji Yan, thoughtfully, and then waved his hand, and a crack appeared in the space again, and then flew in and disappeared.
