When he walked for nearly two pillars of incense, there was a trace of water vapor in the air, and Xiao Wu stepped into a small puddle with one foot, and when he saw this, he knew that he would not die of thirst because of lack of water. He took a few steps forward, and saw a small puddle in the place where the light was not far away, and his heart moved and walked over there. What appeared in front of me was a round, flattened pool, like a small pool five or six times larger than a plate, and in the middle of it floated a round "stone" on which a yellowish plant grew.

Gu Xiaowu estimated that the small pool in front of him should be located in the center of the stone cave, squatted down and looked down at the water first, the water was very clear, and at a glance you could see the uneven stones at the bottom, it turned out that the bottom was not smooth. I didn't see anything special at the bottom of the pool, so I reached into the water and poked it, the depth of the water was only about a foot, and the feeling of touching it was the same as that of ordinary ground. He poked around the pool again and found no problem, only to look at the "stones" floating on the water.

The "stone" is a black-purple ball with two fist-sized balls, half floating on the water and half hidden underwater, swaying from side to side in the middle as the little five pair of pools stirred. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that although the stone was the same color as the stone they had been digging, it was covered with many fine patterns. If you look closer, you can see that there are small holes all over the surface, and those patterns are made up of these small holes.

Looking at the "stone" directly above, the strange plant is lazily lying on it, its whole body glowing with a faint yellow light, compared with the green plants outside, this plant will give people a sense of listlessness. This poor little plant had only one main stem knuckle long, and three leaves the size of a fingernail on top of it, two of which were clinging to the "stone ball", and one curled leaf that seemed to have not yet grown and was clinging to it. His roots grew on the surface of the "stone", and he grew out of those small holes.

Gu Xiaowu frowned after looking at it for a moment, he couldn't help but imagine that the "stone ball" must be some kind of great treasure, this stone cave should be formed because of this treasure, but what he should care about is how to escape from here. He first suppressed the rush to take this treasure in front of him, got up and probed in other directions, anyway, he is here, and the treasure can't run here, you can take it and see it sooner or later, it's better to find the exit first. This treasure may have been placed by the immortals, and it would be bad if he moved to bring some calamity.

Time passed slowly, and there were already five or six gray-robed men in the same costume gathered outside the blackstone mine, and a bearded man with a cold face and gloomy eyes was listening to the young man surnamed Tong once again report the shaking of the earth's leyline power in the mine, including his beloved disciple who was trapped in it and did not know whether he was alive or dead. Behind him stood two white-haired old men, a middle-aged Confucian and a cold-faced young man.

After listening to the young man surnamed Tong's story, the big man's brows furrowed even tighter, and he glanced at the young man surnamed Tong and turned his head to the person behind him: "You go and transfer all the people at hand here, and open the mine road as quickly as possible." The others hesitated for a while, but they all quickly took the order and left, and no one dared to refute it. The boy surnamed Tong was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but when he thought that even if everyone went together, it would take at least ten days to open up the ore vein, and he didn't believe that Tong Zi could live in it for ten days. The pores of ordinary people are closed, but the pores of monks have been opened, and the damage caused by the Yin power of the leylines is a hundred times and a thousand times heavier.

In less than a cup of tea, the cold-faced young man first took three hundred laborers to the mine, handed over the manpower to the boy surnamed Tong for arrangement, and came to the hundred-meter stone room to reply to the big man. Seeing that only the bearded man was sitting at the wooden table in the room, he asked in a cold voice: "Father, is it worth it to use so much labor to save my junior brother? ”

"He's your junior brother, don't you want to save him?"

"It's a dead man when you dig it up, what's the use. ”

"Your junior brother has advanced to the foundation consolidation stage, and he has my spirit plate on his body, if he uses it skillfully, it may not be a problem to persist for a month. ”

"Father, you even gave him the spirit plate, I asked you several times to no avail, you are really good to that illegitimate child. The cold-faced young man said in shock, and the latter words still carried this jealousy.

"Bastard! The Spiritual Plate was only lent to him to stabilize the realm, and I will take it away when the time comes. After you also advance to the foundation consolidation period, I will also lend you the same to stabilize the realm. Even if I haven't figured out what other wonderful uses the Spiritual Disk has, and you can only use one-tenth of its wonderful use, it's not bad, do you still want to keep it for yourself? You go back, I'll be in charge here. The bearded man rebuked angrily. This son of his, who is in too bad a mood, otherwise he would have advanced a long time ago.

Although the cold-faced young man was annoyed in his heart, he didn't say anything more, and turned around and walked out directly. This mysterious figurative disk was accidentally discovered by him in a dangerous place many years ago, but ended up in his father's hands. The father had the opportunity to advance to the acupuncture period with the help of the Fixing Disk, so the effect of the Fixing Disk has also become a big secret of the father, and he has never mentioned it to anyone, and he also inadvertently peeped at it, but he didn't expect to tell the illegitimate son this time.

Two months ago, the boy found him and said that he had just advanced to the solid foundation period, but it was still unstable, and he hoped that he would lend him the spirit plate to stabilize the realm for three months. The bearded man didn't want to borrow it, but when he thought that the stabilizing realm effect of the Spiritual Plate was still leaked to the boy after a drunkenness, he decided to lend it to him for three months. I didn't expect the boy to be so reckless, go to explore some cave, and then dispose of him when he finds the spirit plate. With his current cultivation, he should be safe and sound, right?

Just when everyone on the ground was in full swing to rescue the boy, Gu Xiaowu sat cross-legged by the small pool and held his cheeks, looking at the strange grass in the water and pondering something. He had already turned around the cave two or three times, and there was still a small half of dry food left in the sack, and it was estimated that another three days had passed. No matter how you look at it, the dry food did not last for ten days as expected, and now the rest is enough for more than two days. Rubbing his eyes, now he had just woken up, and he was not hungry.

After turning around for the past few days, he tried a lot of ways but did not succeed, he completely gave up searching, and even if there was an intersection above his head, he couldn't go up. He didn't expect someone to save him, because they were so insignificant.

Two days ago, when he turned around and returned to the pool, he once reached out to take the small "stone ball" in the water to look in front of him, but he did not expect that the "stone ball" floating on the water was so heavy that he could not pick up a single cent. At first, he thought that the bottom of the "stone ball" was connected to the ground, but he lowered his head and swept down several times, shaking his hand back and forth in the water under the "stone ball", and found that there was nothing dragging underneath at all, and came to the conclusion that "this treasure is not something he can hold". In this way, after Xiao Wu checked all around, when he didn't find the way to escape from the ascension, he died of his heart to get out of trouble. The only curiosity left is insignificant in this lonely world.

Gu Xiaowu decisively regarded the "Stone Ball" as his friend, and in the past two days, he told it his own stories, his dreams, and his relatives as soon as he had the spirit. Sometimes laughing, sometimes crying, sometimes silent.

Today, Xiao Wu told Shi Qiu a large story about becoming a fairy in a dream, where he not only had enough food and clothing, but also omnipotent, traveled everywhere, and also married a wife and had children, and smiled proudly all his life.

Gu Xiaowu ate a piece of dry food, picked up the water in the pool, drank a sip, looked at the dry food in the cloth bag, and smiled bitterly, there were still two meals to run out of food, and after working hard for so long, he was starved to death in the end. When he stared at the "stone ball" and wanted to sleep, he whispered to the waterhole, "If only you could take me out, I'll take you to see how wonderful it is outside", and slowly closed his eyes.

When Gu Xiaowu fell asleep again, he didn't know about the "stone ball" The grass on it suddenly exuded three different colors of red, green and blue, one of the leaves turned fiery red and seemed to burn, one leaf turned green and a lush vine flickered around it, the curly leaf turned into turquoise blue and slowly stretched out a part, in the curly leaf you can vaguely see a mini scroll being rolled inside, the scroll flashed, and a black and white pillar of light shot out from it into Xiao Wu's body. Immediately after that, the blue leaves shrank again, and the other two leaves immediately returned to their original shapes. If Xiao Wu saw Xiaocao's appearance just now, he would definitely be shocked, seeing that the wilted grass had such a brilliant side.

In Gu Xiaowu's dream, he dreamed that he was standing in the military formation waiting for orders, and suddenly the people around him turned into powerful ghosts, looking at him viciously one by one. He screamed in fright, but there was no one to save him, so he turned around and ran desperately, and the faces of countless people passed in front of him, some of whom recognized it, some of whom did not, and they all suddenly turned into powerful ghosts and pounced on him one by one. He ran desperately, and suddenly a few people appeared in front of him, and it turned out to be ten people who had lived in the same house with him, bangs, enthusiastic big brother, old man and others waved at it, and he rushed over happily. But when he got in front of them, these people turned into ghosts and roared at him, and Xiao Wu had to turn around and run away again, but saw that the boy had turned into a ghost and was blocking the road.
