Chapter 167: The Bald Monk
Because in his impression, he had seen in an ancient secret book that although the taste of skull fruit is dry, it can almost be said to be the most bitter food in the world, usually people eat skull fruit without realizing it, and they will be suddenly killed by its strong taste.
So later, in the outside world, almost everyone believed that the skull fruit was a poison.
But this matter could not fool Ling Tian, the skull fruit would only grow under extremely specific circumstances, it was said that it was a spiritual plant, able to predict the future, whenever it foresaw that someone would return, it would return to bear fruit a year in advance.
"This fruit is definitely not a poisonous fruit. ”
Ling Tian said with almost certainty.
It's just that I don't know why the skull fruit is here, could it be that someone lives in the Infinity Tower?
As soon as the question came to his mind, suddenly, a dark shadow appeared around him.
"Who is it?"
Ling Tian was stunned in his heart, and quickly tightened his legs, controlling the griffin to prepare for battle.
Griffins are monsters that are born to fight, and whoever can tame them and make them obedient can use them to fight.
Ling Tian was naturally very familiar with this.
In this way, Ling Tian and the mysterious shadow looked at each other more than ten meters apart.
"You, it's Ling Tian?"
At this moment, the shadow suddenly spoke, and his first words shocked Ling Tian incomparably.
"How would he know?"
After pondering for a few seconds, Ling Tian asked,
"My name is Ling Tian, but I don't know how you learned my name?"
"I am the Guardian of the First Floor of the Infinity Tower, and your name appeared in my Spirit Mirror a year ago," the Shadow said.
"Psionic Mirror?"
Ling Tian suddenly realized, it turned out that the rumored Spirit Wave Mirror that could predict the future was in the Boundless Tower.
"Huh?"
At this moment, the shadow suddenly let out an exclamation, and then said, "Isn't your soul not of this world, or rather, not of this era?"
“······”
After Ling Tian heard this, his eyes widened, and he was very surprised, the secret that he came from a previous life was only known to him, but why did the Shadow know this?
"What do you mean by that, I don't understand what you mean?" Ling Tian said tentatively.
"Hahaha, that's right, you really don't belong to this world, Brother Ling Tian, please rest assured, the Boundless Tower has always only allowed people who are destined to enter, if not, the trespasser will definitely fall into an infinite loop of dreams, and eternal life will never be able to get rid of, so you don't have to worry about me telling this secret to anyone," Shadow said after laughing a few times.
Only then did Ling Tian realize that the dream just now was not an accident, but a test.
"Anyway, I've seen a lot of missions with very special backgrounds in this Boundless Tower, but this is the first time I've encountered a special identity like yours," Shadow smiled.
"Dare to ask the senior's name?" Ling Tian was quite interested in this mysterious figure, so he asked.
"I've been here for hundreds of years, and I've almost forgotten my name, so you can call me a bald monk. ”
As soon as the words fell, the dark shadow began to slowly approach Ling Tian until Ling Tian could clearly see the other party's true face.
It turned out that this mysterious figure was a monk, dressed in a dark brown robe, holding his hands behind his back, with a plain face.
"Senior, how did you know my identity," Ling Tian asked.
"Haven't you noticed anything wrong with me?" the monk asked rhetorically.
"Huh?"
Ling Tian only noticed at this time that under the light and shadow of a trance, the monk's figure loomed, and he seemed to understand that the other party was not a living person.
Although in the previous life, Ling Tian had also seen this kind of situation, but it was only once, which could be said to be extremely rare.
There are very few people in the world today who allow the soul to exist on its own after leaving the body.
"Senior, could it be that you have practiced some kind of mysterious technique, causing your soul to leave your body and not be able to return to the Yuan Shen?" Ling Tian asked.
"You are indeed not simple, it seems that you must have been a famous person in the past, could it be the reincarnation of the Great Emperor?" said the monk.
Ling Tian was asked what he couldn't tell the most, so he was silent.
"Even if you don't say it, I can guess that in my current state, I can see that your soul is very unstable, different from ordinary people, so I think you may not belong to this world. The monk said.
"Actually, I'm curious, how did you manage to keep yourself in this state all the time, and still keep yourself conscious," Ling Tian wondered.
"At the beginning, because I was obsessed with martial arts, in order to practice martial arts, I forcibly forced my soul out of my body, but unexpectedly, the soul after leaving the body has always been in a state of confusion, I struggled to get a trace of consciousness, and returned to the original body, and then I found that the Boundless Tower can avoid this, so I decided to stay here, because there is no sun here all day long, so there is no day and night, and I don't know how many years I have stayed," the monk said.
"It seems that he is a martial idiot again," Ling Tian couldn't help but say secretly in his heart.
"Ling Tian, do you know why I appeared in front of you?" the monk asked.
Ling Tian shook his head simply and said, "Could it be that if I want to move forward, I must first pass the test?"
"That's right, this is the first level of the Boundless Tower, and you must defeat me first before you can be qualified to move forward," the monk said.
"But, senior, there is one thing I don't quite understand, the Boundless Tower is clearly vertical, why do I have to move forward?"
This question had been bothering Ling Tian since he discovered the cave.
"Hahahaha, you don't know, this is also the magic of the Boundless Tower, you seem to be walking forward, but in fact you have been moving upwards, that is to say, the ground you are standing on now is actually the wall of the Boundless Tower, I have been in the Boundless Tower for so many years, and I can't understand the mystery of it," the monk smiled.
"I see," Ling Tian suddenly realized.
"Well, I don't know what you're here for, but if you want to keep going, you have to beat me first," the monk said.
"In that case, the juniors will be offended!"
It was not difficult for Ling Tian to know from the other party's tone that the other party had been here for at least a hundred years, and with his current age, it was not an exaggeration to call the other party a senior.
"Hahaha, Ling Tian, don't be too careless, although there is no one else in this layer except me, but I have been cultivating here for more than two hundred years, so I still advise you, retreat in the face of difficulties, while you haven't penetrated into the second layer yet, it is still possible to escape from the Boundless Tower," the monk said.
