Chapter 230: Chaos Shuttle
An Yun smiled slightly, looked at the old man with a shy expression, and gave him a "you know" look.
The old man's expression froze, the corners of his mouth moved, and he pretended to be at a loss: "What are your plans, you might as well tell me about it, I'm just a wisp of remnant soul now, and I can't help you get the strange fruit in the dark forest." ”
An Yun knew that the old man had misunderstood her, she knew better than anyone that the old man was just a wisp of remnant soul, guarding this island for thousands of years, and now it was time to dissipate, otherwise how could the Netherworld Qi erode that spiritual spring and five fertile fields?
She didn't intend to ask the old man to help her, although she admitted that she had planned to do so before coming to Vientiane Realm, but she quickly dispelled the idea.
"Old man, you misunderstood, I didn't want you to help get the strange fruit, I just wanted the stone shuttle." An Yun got straight to the point and directly stated his purpose.
Although there is no stone shuttle, An Yun is sure that he will be able to get out, but how big is the Netherworld Sea, this is a question that no one has given an answer to from ancient times to the present. According to ancient records, the Netherworld Sea has its own heaven and earth, and it has no borders. There are also ancient legends that the Netherworld Sea is equivalent to a day and a night. The so-called day and night refers to the world of God, which is equivalent to 30,000 years on earth.
In the previous life, An Yun and Master Jingxu discussed the Tao, and mentioned the width of the Netherworld, and Master Jingxu said that Buddhism recorded that when there was a battle in the Netherworld, it was equivalent to 1.72 million years. This time refers to the time when light travels through the Netherworld.
Regardless of the concept, there is one thing in common, and that is that the Nethersea is large. It's wide, it's boundless.
At this time, only the fastest magic weapon can cross the Netherworld Sea, and only dare to cross the Netherworld Sea, that is, the shuttle. Without a shuttle, if you want to cross the Netherworld, even if you are a monk in the Tribulation Period, you don't have the courage and courage to do so.
Even if An Yun picked most of the strange fruits in the Dark Forest, he could continue to fly with the flying sword for a long time without worrying about running out of spiritual power. But the monk is still a human being. There are always times when you get tired. It is impossible to maintain the state of the sword for decades, hundreds, or even tens of thousands of years. In addition, there are many crises in the Netherworld, although no one knows what is in the Netherworld, but from ancient times to the present, none of the monks who have entered the Netherworld have gone out alive. That's the best proof of this.
So. An Yun wants to leave the island. The only way is still the old man's natal magic weapon before his death, the stone shuttle that turned into five fertile fields.
"You want my Chaos Shuttle?" The old man opened his eyes, and the light in his eyes skyrocketed. looked straight at An Yun.
The coercion of the stormy waves rushed from the old man's body to An Yun like a sea, and An Yun felt as if he was a lonely boat in the sea, rising and falling in the rough waves, and there was a danger of being sunk to the bottom of the sea at any time.
Her face turned pale in an instant, her expression trembled even more, her knees weakened, and an invisible force pressed on her body, making her crawl on the ground.
An Yun gritted her teeth and resisted the pressure on her body with unparalleled perseverance, her whole body bones kept squeaking before they shattered, her blood was surging wildly, and there seemed to be countless thunderbolts in her mind, which were about to explode all her sanity.
An Yun stubbornly guarded a little spiritual light in his heart, his eyes stared at the old man fiercely, and he didn't give an inch! In her previous life, she cultivated the Tao and went through countless hardships, and she had already cultivated a perseverance that was not afraid of all things in heaven and earth. It was easy to get her life, but it was very difficult to get her to give in. Cultivating the Tao and cultivating the Tao should go against the sky, not succumb to the coercion of heaven and earth, not succumb to the ruthlessness of the years, and seek the avenue of heaven and earth with one heart, and seek eternal existence with the world.
Soon, the old man's expression gradually calmed down under the gaze of her quiet eyes, and the overwhelming deterrence disappeared in an instant.
However, An Yun felt that it was as long as a thousand years, she sat down on the ground dejectedly, her clothes wet with cold sweat, her expression was depressed, but her eyes were still staring at the old man, and she didn't move away for a moment
The old man looked at her like this for a long time, and then sighed long: "Do you know what price our clan has paid to protect this island? Did you know that without the Chaos Shuttle, this island would have become a dead island entirely? Don't you understand the importance of this island to our world? ”
An Yun gasped heavily, looked at the old man and sneered: "Old man, of course I know the greatness of your clan. In order to protect this island, you have been guarding this island for thousands of years at the cost of extermination. I also know that your Chaos Shuttle is the foundation for the Grave Keeper to protect this island for a long time, and the only source that supports the Tomb Keeper to survive. I am even more aware of the importance of this island to this world, without which our world would soon be invaded by other worlds and return to the tragic scenes of the ancient chaos era. ”
"Now that you know it, how dare you! How dare you fight the idea of the Chaos Shuttle? The old man shouted.
An Yun also roared loudly, "Because I have found a better way to protect this island, because you are about to dissipate, and the Netherworld Qi has already eroded the spiritual spring and the five fields. The water that flows from the springs and the corn that grows in the fields is now highly poisonous. No matter who eats it, it will gradually transform into an undead creature in the netherworld. Old man, the spiritual springs and fields formed by the Chaos Shuttle have lost their meaning, so what's the use of staying on the island? ”
"Did you know that there are less than 800 grave keepers left in the second generation, and they are no longer able to produce offspring. On top of that, they have been completely eroded by the Netherworld, and maybe within ten years, they will become undead creatures like zombies. The demon beasts on the island will also become Netherworld Demon Beasts, and in order to absorb the Netherworld Qi for cultivation, they will constantly destroy the sealing formation, and even completely open the 'door' guarded by your clan, and reconnect with the Netherworld Shura Realm. ”
"Isn't there still you? As the third generation of grave keepers, your duty is to protect the island. You can obtain strange fruits from the Dark Forest, and then cultivate to improve your cultivation strength. Those second-generation grave keepers who have just been transformed into zombies are no match for you at all. But once I give you the Chaos Shuttle. If you don't come back, the island will be dead forever. The old man said tremblingly.
"How am I going to survive?" An Yun asked rhetorically: "I obviously have a better way to protect this island, why don't you use my method, but always stick to your ideas?" This island is already a dead island? Those water, those corns, have become poison, old man, do you understand? ”
In fact, An Yun knew that the old man didn't understand what she said. He just couldn't figure it out for a while, the price he paid to protect this island was too great. He didn't dare to take any chances. Don't dare to hand over the Chaos Shuttle to An Yun easily. Even the spiritual springs and good fields that the Chaos Shuttle turned into had lost their meaning because of the gradual disappearance of his remnant soul power.
It was quiet everywhere, An Yun and the old man didn't speak anymore, and the atmosphere around them became extremely serious and heavy.
An Requiem looked at the old man quietly. The old man frowned. The fingers tapping on the knees are getting faster and faster. Clearly, the mind is caught in a complex struggle.
She didn't rush him, she knew that he just needed a little time to accept that their clan would pay the price of the entire clan to protect this island for thousands of years. There are actually better and easier ways to do it, and it doesn't have to be that costly at all. He just needed time to receive it, and the result of their clan's protection was just a joke.
"Old man, the grave keeper is great, and the spirit of your clan is like a golden crow shining on the world, eternal and long-lasting. If it weren't for the sacrifice of your clan, I'm afraid that the current world would have been invaded by the Netherworld Shura Realm a long time ago, where would there be the peace and tranquility now? Your dedication has ensured the growth of all things in heaven and earth for hundreds of thousands of years, so you will be immortal. When I go back this time, I will definitely pass on the spirit of the tomb keeper and carry forward the spirit of the tomb keeper in the monastic world. ”
An Yun saw that the old man couldn't make a decision for a long time, so he couldn't help but add a fierce fire.
"Everyone is a grave keeper, and everyone is a Buji!" An Yun's words full of pride and respect made the old man wake up from his contemplation. His vicissitudes of life looked at An Yun with some unconfidence: "How can I trust you?" ”
An Yun looked at the old man steadily, and said categorically: "Old man, you have to believe me." Do you have any other options but to trust me? If you don't believe me, of course I will die on this island, but this island will inevitably become a gathering place for nether creatures again, who will guard the sealing formation on the island at that time, and who will prevent the opening of the 'door'? When the Netherworld Shura Realm reopens the gate of the Qingying Yue Hengtian, the sacrifice of your clan will really have no meaning. ”
"Since I have accepted the key to the grave keeper, I will naturally fulfill my duties as a grave keeper. Once he returns to the Blue Netherworld Continent, he will inevitably try his best to let the cultivators, even the demon cultivators, and even the demon clan, come to this island together. This island has changed from a waste island to a treasure island, but I'm afraid that everyone is fighting for it, are you still worried that no one will protect it? ”
"That's it, that's it!" The old man let out a long sigh of exhaustion, looked at An Yun and said, "If everything goes as smoothly as you say, I'm not worried about no one to guard this island." But what if something happens? Did you die in the Netherworld, or did you have an accident and no one came to protect the island? However, as you said, my remnant soul power is already at the end of the tree, and I am afraid that it will not last for ten years. Even now, I am powerless to stop the Nether Qi from eroding the Chaos Shuttle. Anyway, the ending is the same, so I followed your advice. ”
An Yun was overjoyed, clasped his fists and said loudly: "Thank you for the old man's success!" ”
The old man shook his head and said: "The Chaos Shuttle is not a thing of our Qing Ying Yue Hengtian, but the magic weapon of the Ancient Giant Witch Clan. The Chaos Shuttle is extremely powerful, and there are hundreds of six legal array turrets inside, which can kill the peak monks of the Tribulation Period with a single shot. The Chaos Shuttle is made of strange materials, able to withstand the cutting of spatial cracks, constantly running teleportation formations, and shuttling through time and space. The space inside is huge, and the warriors of our clan were brought to this island by me using the Chaos Shuttle, destroying the last trace of power in our world. ”
An Yun listened carefully, his eyes getting brighter and brighter. Originally, she knew that the Chaos Shuttle was a great treasure, but who knew that the truth was even more exaggerated than she imagined, a hundred doors and six legal formations, and a salvo could even kill a monk in the Tribulation Period, which ...... An Yun felt that this time it was really hairy, and it was big!
"The reason why I was able to preserve a remnant soul for hundreds of thousands of years is also because I lodged the remnant soul in the Chaos Shuttle this time. The Chaos Shuttle isolated the power of heaven and earth, and it was I who did not receive the influence of the laws of heaven and earth and disappeared. For so many years, it was not my power that fought against the Netherworld's energy, but my power that operated the Chaos Shuttle against the Netherworld's energy. But I'm going to disappear eventually, powerless to control the Chaos Shuttle. Before I disappear, it's not impossible to hand over the method of operation of the Chaos Shuttle to you, but ......"
The old man said this, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he looked at An Yun deadly: "An Yun, the Chaos Shuttle is handed over to you, you must make a heart curse in front of me, protect this island in this life and this life, and the duty of the tomb keeper must not be forgotten one day." You also need to ensure that your plan must be successful, otherwise ......"
"How else?" An Yun continued.
"Otherwise, in this life, your soul will not be at peace for a day, your cultivation will not move forward an inch, and your soul will not be extinguished after death, and you will be burned by the wind and fire day and night, and there will be no end to it!" The old man paused word by word, and his words were vicious and fierce. After speaking, he stared at An Yun without blinking, waiting for her answer.
"Okay, I promise!" An Yun did not hesitate at all, directly pointed to the sky and repeated the old man's words. Then, he bit the tip of his tongue and forced out a little blood on the tip of his tongue, which spurted out with a "poof".
"Good!" The old man smiled with relief: "Remember my words, An Yun!" ”
An Yun suddenly felt that the earth began to shake, the sky was frantically cracking, and everything around him collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye. She thought that it was time to enter the Old Man's Vientiane Realm this time, but she felt different from the previous times.
The figure of the old man gradually dissipated in front of her eyes, and only the voice was still echoing, and it did not disappear for a long time.
In an instant, An Yunfu felt to her heart, and understood that this was the last time she saw the old man, and it was also the last time she entered the Vientiane Realm. The remnant soul of the old man disappeared completely, and the Vientiane Realm collapsed. Because of the little blood on the tip of her tongue, she became the new owner of Chaos Shuttle. The remnant soul of the old man has lost the protection of the Chaos Shuttle, and finally ends his tired and persistent life of duty.
An Yun woke up from reality, was silent for a long time, and bowed deeply to the sky. (To be continued......)
