Chapter 18: The Mysterious Danyun Cliff
The mysterious Danyun Cliff
After a few days of tossing and turning, the cultivation of the starry sky that forgot to sleep and eat every day, although there was no breakthrough in cultivation, it was much more consolidated than before, and it was at the peak of the early stage of the ninth order of body refining, and it was only a chance to break through.
This speed is already very fast, and it is impossible for ordinary cultivators to progress so fast without a few months, and even many cultivators have been unable to break through in a few years of cultivation.
All this is inseparable from the powerful star god body of the starry sky, and the most valuable thing is the hard training of the starry sky day and night.
In his spare time, he accompanied the villagers to take care of the medicine garden, and through the continuous introduction of Gu Li, the starry sky also knew a lot of medicinal materials.
In the early morning, the starry sky, as usual, came to the hill early and began to cultivate, and more than an hour passed, and the sun was rising. Looking up at the red sunrise, the starry sky stopped cultivating.
At this time, the village seemed particularly peaceful, standing on the hill and quietly looking at the village below the mountain, the corner of the starry sky outlined a shallow smile.
"When I got up and saw that you weren't there, I knew that the little young master must have come here to cultivate" Gu Li climbed up the hill and walked towards the starry sky.
"Grandpa Gu early".
Starry Sky replied with a smile, and the two sat on the spot.
"Little Young Master, it's been a few days since you came to the village, and I have a question, Grandpa Gu has always wanted to ask you, didn't Little Young Master have an accident a few years ago, and his cultivation has been stuck in the third order of body refining?
Gu Li thought about it for a long time and asked about the starry sky.
"How does Grandpa Gu know that I had an accident in my cultivation before?" Starry Sky asked, looking at Gul.
"Hehe, don't you have to transport the medicinal herbs planted every year to the family, every time I personally send them over, I overheard the clansmen mention one or two," Gu Li replied with a smile.
"It's really hard Grandpa Gu, what you have done for the family, my father and the clansmen will definitely remember it, as for my cultivation, I am now in the early stage of the ninth order of body refining, and I got an opportunity not long ago to make a breakthrough in my cultivation."
Starry Sky bowed deeply to Gu Li, and he respected such a kind old man from the bottom of his heart.
"Little Master is really a lucky man! Congratulations to the young master."
Gu Li saw that the starry sky didn't tell him the reason for the breakthrough of cultivation, so he didn't ask, after all, everyone has their own secrets, in short, watching the starry sky cultivation break through so much at once, his heart was very happy.
"By the way, little young master, Grandpa Gu didn't mean anything else when he asked you about cultivation just now, you must also know the reason why the family sent us here, and now that I am old, I am already a little powerless to manage the medicine garden.
Now that the little master is here, he has such a cultivation at a young age, and he has a firm heart, and the most important villagers also love you very much. I want you to take over as the village chief, that's what the family means," Gu Li said to the stars seriously.
"Grandpa Gu is serious, Starry Sky is still young, and he doesn't know anything about managing the medicine garden. I just want to work hard to cultivate, become stronger, and prove to my father that I am not a waste. At the same time, as Grandpa Gu said, only strong strength can protect the clansmen. ”
Starry Sky's eyes were unusually determined.
"The little young master has this ambition, it is the blessing of the clan, since this is the case, I will take care of the medicine garden for the time being, and the next time I return to the clan, I will send the right person to the head of the family."
Seeing that the starry sky was extremely firm, Gu Li was no longer insisting. On this continent, who doesn't want to become strong and stand at the pinnacle of martial arts.
"Little Master, there is a secret that I didn't intend to tell you, but now that you have been able to make great progress in your cultivation, and I see that you have such a firm heart and a martial arts heart. The decision will be informed to you, and the young master will decide for himself. ”
After being silent for a long time, Gu Li seemed to think of something, and after thinking about it, he slowly spoke. Starry Sky didn't say anything, quietly waiting for Gu Li to continue.
"Behind our Nanyuan Village Mountain, there is a steep cliff, which is smoky and inaccessible all year round. Once a tribesman entered it, he lost his way, and never returned. ”
After Gu Li finished speaking, there was a trace of sadness in his eyes, the starry sky did not interrupt Gu Li, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and Gu Li continued to speak.
"Once I went to the mountains to pick medicinal herbs, but I encountered a group of blood bats in a cave, although the blood bats are generally below the third order of body refining, they are bloodthirsty, and they all live in groups.
At that time, my cultivation was only about the fifth order of body refining. Seeing that the situation was not good, I ran away, and the blood bat chased all the way, and the blood bat saw the blood flowing from my body, which aroused their instinct even more, and in desperation, I entered the cliff, but strangely enough, the blood bat withdrew. ”
Speaking of this, Gu Li had palpitations, and now he feels scared when he thinks about it. After a moment of rest, Gul continued:
"After entering the cliff, I lost my direction, the thick fog filled the entire cliff, I couldn't see anything in front of me, I could only vaguely distinguish the bushes and jungles within a meter around me, I endured the injuries on my body, I carefully groped in the cliff, and walked for a long time without finding the way out.
I don't know how long I walked, but gradually I felt exhausted, and my vision began to blur, and I wondered if I would die here today.
At that moment, a voice came from the top of the cliff: "This is not the place for you to come, go back! ”
I didn't see anyone in this way, and before I could come and ask, I was somehow sent out, and when I came out, I found that I had reached the path not far from the entrance of the village.
The strangest thing is that the injuries on my body, which are close to death, have also healed. The cliff is more than 30 miles away from the entrance of the village!, who has such great magical powers?
"Then what about later, hasn't Grandpa Gu been there?"
The starry sky was full of horror, and instantly teleported people to thirty miles, and the injuries on his body were all healed, but he still didn't dare to imagine what kind of magical power he was without seeing him, could it be an immortal? Is there really an immortal in this world?
Gu Li didn't say anything, sorted out his thoughts and continued to speak.
"Because of the admonition of the master, I have not been to that cliff since, and I have told the villagers not to go there.
It wasn't until later that Yadan's father fell seriously ill and tried all kinds of methods, but he couldn't cure it. Finally, in desperation, I thought of the master, and after much consideration, I decided to go to the cliff and try it, hoping that he would be willing.
There was nothing in the village, so I prepared some precious medicinal herbs and took Yadan's father to the cliff. When we came to the front of the cliff, we did not go directly into the mountain, but in front of the cliff, and I shouted:
"Immortals, the villain has no intention of offending, thanks to the immortals last time rescued, so that he was able to survive, this time it is really helpless, because the villain is seriously ill with the villagers, there is no medicine to treat, in a hurry, I want to disturb, I hope that the immortals do not blame, the village is barren, and there is nothing valuable, thank the immortals for saving their lives, specially prepare some medicinal materials to respect, and hope that the immortals will smile. ”
After I finished shouting, I didn't see anyone respond, and after we waited for a while, because Yadan's father was so sick that I was afraid that I would be delayed for a long time, even if there were immortals who rescued me, I would not be able to return to the sky, so I took him into the cliff.
When we just entered the cliff, a great pressure fell from the sky, it felt like the sky was falling and pressing on our bodies, we were powerless to resist and fell directly to the ground. The familiar and majestic voice sounded in my ears:
"Ignorant villager, I told you that this is not the place for you to come, and you knowingly do it. Do you really think I'm out of temper?"
The voice was a little angry, and when it finished speaking, it became more powerful, and suddenly I felt shortness of breath, my bones gurgling, and I couldn't even think of speaking.
I closed my eyes, thinking to myself that I was too whimsical, like this kind of high-ranking immortal, why would I save an ordinary person whose life is like a mustard for no reason, it doesn't matter if I die, it's just that the girl's father also suffered, and blamed me for being reckless and colliding with the immortal, thinking of this, I actually cried.
However, after a long time, not only did we not die, but we felt that the coercion on our bodies gradually disappeared, only to hear the immortal speak again:
"That's it, that's it, I think you save people's hearts, let me spare your life, I'm not a bodhisattva who helps the world, where do I come from, where do I go back. I will leave one of the medicinal herbs prepared, and I will give you a pill because of your simple heart, and we will not be involved from now on, and if you come again, you will be punished. ”
I didn't see the immortals appearing, but there was a day missing from the basket behind me.
After listening to the immortals, I was about to open my mouth to continue to ask for help, but the girl's father prevented me from begging the immortals, he was afraid of angering the immortals, not only did he not save himself, but took the lives of both of us.
This time the immortals did not send us back, so we had no choice but to return the same way, and shortly after returning to the village, Yadan's father passed away.
Later, I took a closer look at the medicinal materials and found that what the immortals had taken was the lowest value of the medicinal materials I had brought with me, which made me very puzzled.
Later, I took the pill given by the immortals, but I didn't expect that my cultivation would suddenly be upgraded from the fifth order of body refining to the eighth order of body refining.
Since then, no one has been to the cliff behind the village, and the immortal's magical powers have deeply shocked us, although the immortal did not save the girl's father, and the villagers did not complain at all, they can only blame him for his own bad life, hey.
Later, the villagers set up a ancestral hall for the immortals to be ten miles away from the mountain cliff, because of the elixir of the immortals and the perennial fog in the mountain cliff, we named the mountain cliff Danyun Cliff, engraved on the ancestral hall plaque. Every six months, they go to offer incense and pray.
After listening to Gu Li's story, Starry Sky was indignant in his heart.
"What kind of immortal, hmph, I look at the birdman is almost the same, I don't save him when he dies, how like a master of the Tao, I don't think this person is necessarily a good person, he must have offended a more powerful person, so he will hide in this inaccessible place"
Starry Sky scolded.
"I can't do it, I can't help it"
Gu Li hurriedly stopped the starry sky, and looked up at the direction of the cliff, for fear that the immortals would hear and blame the starry sky.
