107 Nine-Tailed Demon Vine
"I don't know what my name is, if you want, you can call me, Shiren." The twelfth stone sculpture said slowly, although the tone and intonation were still jerky, but he could already say a relatively smooth sentence.
"Stone Man?" Lin Feng frowned when he heard this, looking at the aura of the person in front of him, it was extremely weak, if he didn't use the Spirit Yuan to investigate, if he only observed it with the naked eye, it was easy to think that this was just a stone carving, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a stone man.
"Why are you here? What are your intentions? After Lin Feng said this, even he felt funny.
Looking at the appearance of the stone man, it is obviously related to this cemetery, or that the person is the master, and he is the "guest", so it is indeed a bit funny to ask.
However, Shi Ren obviously didn't notice Lin Feng's speech disease, or he didn't care about Lin Feng's language disease at all.
I only heard the stone man sigh faintly, and then said slowly, "Why am I here?" What can I do? I just want to be here quietly, and I've been here since more than 170 years ago. ”
The stone man's tone was resentful, but with a hint of sweetness, Lin Feng couldn't help but shiver when he heard it in his ears!
"More than one hundred and seventy years?" Lin Feng wondered in his heart, looking at the appearance of the stone man, at most, he was a little monk in the Qi cultivation period, how could he live to be more than one hundred and seventy years?
Generally speaking, no matter how high or low the realm of Qi cultivation is, the lifespan is similar to that of ordinary people, but it can live ten or eight years longer than ordinary people, and it is just that it is healthy, and in the end, it will also die because of the exhaustion of longevity.
And only the monks of the foundation building period can live about twice as long as ordinary people, that is, between one hundred and fifty years and two hundred years, and if there is no further breakthrough and reach the Yudan period, they will also die because of the exhaustion of longevity.
Only when you reach the Dan period can you be said to be an immortal person, but the so-called immortality here also has a defined range, and the Dan period is usually four hundred to five hundred years, and with the improvement of the realm, the lifespan will also increase.
It's no wonder that Lin Feng didn't believe it, although there was a faint outflow of spiritual yuan from the stone man's body, but judging by its strength, it was probably only a monk of about three layers of Qi cultivation period, how could a monk of the Qi cultivation period live more than one hundred and seventy years?
Maybe the stone man is a master of the foundation building period or the knot period, and he deliberately constricts his breath, and it is not impossible for such a situation to occur.
"Yes, I came here more than one hundred and seventy years ago, locked the tomb door from the inside, and never went out again!"
The stone man's low voice came, flickering and disjointed, and the voice seemed a little ethereal, as if he was recalling the past.
Lin Feng saw that the stone man's words were strange, and the silver water sword in his hand was held tighter, and he didn't know why, a strong sense of danger suddenly rose in Lin Feng's heart.
After a long while, Shi came back to his senses and suddenly moved in the direction where Lin Feng was!
Yes, it was not to move, not to come!
Seeing the stone man's movements, Lin Feng's pupils couldn't help but constrict, and he saw that the stone man's entire body seemed to be unable to move, as if it was a stone sculpture, pushed from behind!
The Silver Water Sword connected Lin Feng's mind, emitting bursts of dazzling light, as if it was about to come out of his hand!
"You don't have to be afraid, I won't hurt you!" The stone man seemed to see Lin Feng's hostility, and quickly stopped, and spoke.
However, Lin Feng would not be stupid to really believe the words of the stone man, and he was still on guard as usual at the moment, but Lin Feng was also quite curious in his heart, wanting to see what this stone man would say below.
Seeing that Lin Feng still didn't believe what he meant, the stone man didn't seem surprised, he stopped more than thirty meters away from Lin Feng, and then continued: "Young man, since you have already taken the seeds of the carp lotus plate dragon jade box and the nine-tailed demon vine, then trouble you and do me a favor!" ”
"Nine-Tailed Demon Vine? Could it be that those spirit seeds are actually called Nine-Tailed Demon Vines? But aren't there two spirit seeds? What else is it called? Lin Feng wondered in his heart, and was about to ask, but he heard Qi Luyi secretly shouting: "Oh my God! That kind of sub turned out to be a nine-tailed demon vine?! ”
"What's wrong with the Nine-Tailed Demon Vine? Isn't it amazing? Lin Feng hadn't heard of the Nine-Tailed Demon Vine, so he hurriedly asked Qi Luyi.
"Humph! Silly boy, nine-tailed demon vine, is not only powerful, but also a perverted existence! This nine-tailed demon vine is a plant that is associated with the nine-tailed sky fox, born together, grown together, and matured together. After growing, the nine-tailed demon vine is comparable to the peak existence of the Yuan Infant Stage! Moreover, the nine-tailed demon vine has extremely strong vitality, and once it recognizes the master, it will not change for life! If it's really the seed of the nine-tailed demon vine, then you kid really made a fortune! ”
After Qi Luyi's explanation, Lin Feng knew that the Nine-Tailed Demon Vine still had such a big name, and he was happy in his heart at the moment. However, Lin Feng and Qi Luyi didn't know what the other seed was, so Lin Feng immediately asked, "Eh, that, Shiren, I don't know what kind of nine-tailed demon vine it is?" What kind of seed is the other one? ”
Shi Ren's face was expressionless, and his tone did not fluctuate in the slightest, and Wen Yan only replied in a deep voice: "I don't know what the other three seeds are. It was left by Adago back then, and even Adamgo didn't know it. ”
Slightly disappointed, but Lin Feng was still very happy in his heart, he got a seed of the Nine-Tailed Demon Vine, for Lin Feng, the harvest was too great.
As for the Yadago that Shi said in his mouth, it is Shi Dakai's nickname, and Lin Feng, who loves to listen to the romance of the story, is very familiar with this.
It was finally calmed down the joy in his heart, and Lin Feng remembered that Shi Ren had said before, what do you want to do for yourself?
"It doesn't look like the thing was taken for nothing!" Lin Feng sighed secretly in his heart, and then asked, "What do you want me to do?" ”
Lin Feng knew very well that these two things were rare things, and he would not give up in vain, and the other party was so fearless, obviously what to rely on, he might as well listen to what the other party asked for first, if it was not very excessive, it would be okay to agree to him.
That's why Lin Feng asked rhetorically what needs to be done, not why I promised you.
Hearing Lin Feng's answer, the stone man seemed to be quite excited, and even his tone seemed a little trembling, only to see him take a deep breath, and then said in a low voice: "Trouble you, bring Adago's skeleton back here." ”
"That's what you want?!" Lin Feng was stunned when he heard this, it seems that this is not Shi Dakai's cemetery, at best, it is just a cemetery built by Shi Dakai before his death, ready to sleep after death, as for Shi Dakai's real bones, it is estimated that they are still in Sichuan.
"Shi Dakai has been dead for so long, this person claims to have lived for more than one hundred and seventy years, so why didn't he go and get it himself?" When Lin Feng heard this, such a question suddenly popped up in his heart!
Seeing that Lin Feng was silent, the other party thought that Lin Feng was unwilling to agree, and his tone was full of anxiety, and he hurriedly said: "Young man, as long as you agree to this request, then the Nine-Tailed Demon Vine and the Carp Lotus Plate Dragon Jade Box will be yours!" These two things, any of them, placed in the cultivation realm, are treasures that can cause a bloody storm! Aren't you tempted? ”
Lin Feng slandered in his heart: "Lao Tzu is not a fool, would he put such a good thing?" ”
However, of course, Lin Feng would not say this, but said with a serious face, and his voice was slightly low: "It is not difficult to retrieve the bones of the righteous king. It's just that after the righteous king was killed, where he was buried, few people know, and if you want to find the bones of the righteous king, is it huge! ”
Hearing this, Shi Ren couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and only then did he say slowly after half a sound, as if he was saying to Lin Feng, and as if he was talking to himself: "For this carp lotus pan dragon jade box, Yadago, not only took his own surname, but even the remains were missing, is it worth it?" ”
With another sigh, the stone man said faintly: "Young man, I see that you are also a cultivator, if you want to find the regret of the righteous king, it must not be a difficult thing. I hope you'll grant my request as a dying man, I don't know, can you? ”
The stone man's voice was poignant, and because he had returned to the tone and intonation of a normal person's speech, Lin Feng still understood at this time that this stone man was a woman. Listening to her calling King Yi "Yadago" again and again, the relationship between her and Shi Dakai must be extraordinary.
With a wry smile, Lin Feng naturally had no reason to refuse.
The stone man's plea could not be taken to heart, but the temptation of the nine-tailed demon vine and another spirit seed, as well as the carp lotus pan dragon jade box, Lin Feng could not resist.
Although Lin Feng also thought about forcibly asking for it, but invisibly, Lin Feng always felt that a powerful danger lurked beside him anytime and anywhere, and he could inflict a fatal blow on himself at any time!
And the stone man in front of him obviously does not have much profound cultivation, but he can live to one hundred and ten years (waiting for Shi Dakai for more than one hundred and seventy years, and the stone man must have lived for twenty or thirty years before, so there is a saying of nearly two hundred years), there must be some mystery in it.
Besides, it's just a search for a corpse, and with a little more thought, it must not be a difficult task.
In view of the various appeals, Lin Feng really didn't need to take risks, so he immediately spoke: "Since the senior said so, the junior had no choice but to agree." It's just that after the death of King Yi, the whereabouts of the remains are extremely secret, and it is unknown whether they exist in the world. The juniors should do their best to find it, if they can't find it, please forgive the juniors for not being able to do anything. ”
"Thank you!" Shiren's voice was filled with excitement and gratitude: "As long as you do your best, as for the result, it will be up to fate." ”
Lin Feng nodded secretly, thinking that this woman had been here for many years, and it seemed that many things had been seen very lightly.
I thought that the stone man would ask him to make an oath or something, but who would have thought, after waiting for a while, the stone man actually had no intention of speaking, which surprised Lin Feng even more.
However, Lin Feng still had many doubts in his heart, and since the stone man didn't speak, he had to ask himself.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng opened his mouth and asked, "The juniors have something unclear, and I hope that the seniors will give me some advice." ”
"If there's anything you don't understand, just ask." Shiren's tone was unwavering, and he said lightly.
"The predecessors are people of the same era as the righteous king?"
Seeing Shiren nodding, Lin Feng continued: "Since the predecessor and the righteous king are from the same era, after the righteous king was killed, why didn't the predecessor go to find the remains of the righteous king?" I think my predecessors are just monks at about the third level of Qi cultivation, how can they live to such an age? ”
Shi Ren let out a rare low chuckle, and then said, "You have asked so many questions in one breath, which one do you want me to answer first?" ”
After a pause, he continued: "Since you are so curious, then okay, I'll tell you." ”
"King Yi and I were originally brothers and sisters, but our sect was very small, except for the master, there were only me and the senior brother, and soon after, the master also passed away. Adago is similar to me in terms of cultivation, and he has no talent, so he decided to go to the mortal world to train, and maybe he can break through to the foundation building period. ”
So Adago threw himself into the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and with his extraordinary cultivation and brave surname, he made a great name. It's just that Adago knows in his heart that the master has left a lot of treasures, although it is a small sect, these things are not in the eyes of those big sects, but some of the same small sects and those scattered cultivators have already been red-eyed, especially the spirit seed and the carp lotus pan dragon jade box, so Adago built such a cemetery here to store these things. ”
"But not long after, Yadago was still seriously injured by a loose cultivator, and after not getting the carp lotus pan dragon jade box and other resources, such a loose cultivator became angry and ashamed, broke up Adago's cultivation, and gave it to the Qing army, and then Adago was ruthlessly killed."
"It wasn't until more than half a year later that I knew this indirectly. With my cultivation, it is difficult to fight against that loose cultivator, and I have promised Adago to help him guard the carp lotus pan dragon jade box and spirit seed, and wait for him to come back in this cemetery, so I can't go to find Adamgo's remains. ”
"But my cultivation is only at the third level of the Qi cultivation period, and there is no way to live for long at all, and I will die because of the exhaustion of my longevity. In desperation, I had no choice but to take a petrified fruit left by my master, and then my body slowly began to petrify from the inside out under the effect of the petrified fruit, but it only retained the memory and language of human beings. ”
"The petrified fruit can keep me alive for two hundred years, and now more than one hundred and seventy years have passed, and I hope that in my lifetime, I can see Adago's regrets."
"So, young man, I hope you don't let me down."
Listening to Shi Ren tell so many forgotten things in one breath, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a burst of pity in his heart.
I don't know what the relationship between Shi Ren and Shi Dakai was at the beginning, but it is not difficult to see from the loneliness and loneliness of more than 170 years that Shi Ren has suffered a lot.
If you can cultivate, it's fine, and if you retreat more, time will pass quickly, but those who have taken the petrified fruit will not be able to cultivate, and can only slowly consume their lives in the endless years until they die.
With a long sigh, Lin Feng said loudly: "Senior, don't worry, as long as the bones of King Yi are still there, I will definitely retrieve them and send them to my seniors." ”
"Thank you very much!" After the stone man said this, there was no sound, and he stood quietly next to the stone statue of the righteous king, as if there was no life at all.
Seeing this, Lin Feng didn't say much, and saluted Shi Dakai's stone statue and stone man, then turned around and strode out.
Although he promised to bring back Shi Dakai's remains, after all, he received such a valuable gift, and this courtesy was still indispensable.
Leaving the hall and walking to the passage when he came, as soon as he entered, Lin Feng's face couldn't help but change greatly!
