Chapter 35: The Remnants of the Flood

Ye Shengqing looked at the seven white bones and asked, "Then why are these seven like this now?"

The old Taoist priest sighed: "Time is impermanent, and sometimes the poor road is just a small rest, and some guests become gray-haired. After another big dream, most of the guests have become white bones, and only one guest is holding on to a breath just to say to me, 'Summer insects can't speak ice'. โ€

Shangguan Tingxue opened his eyes and glanced at Ye Shengqing, both of whom saw the shock in the other party's eyes.

"How long has this old Dao lived?How could there be such a monster in the Sword Shrine!" Ye Shengqing's heart turned upside down, but he said calmly on the surface: "If the old seniors had lifted the ban on those seven as soon as possible, they might not have died, and maybe they would still be able to accompany the seniors to talk about the world." โ€

The old Taoist priest raised his eyebrows suddenly, and asked rhetorically, "Who said they were dead?" As he spoke, the old Taoist priest stood up and lifted his robe to reveal his bulging belly in front of the two.

"The poor path swallows their souls into their wombs so that they don't have to go into samsara, and they can be here for the rest of their lives. โ€

He patted his swollen belly, only to hear a few terrible screams coming from his belly, and the hideous and twisted faces stood out on his belly alternately, these faces could no longer see their original appearance, only the twisted and painful expression, which seemed to be eternal and unchanged.

Seeing this terrifying scene, Shangguan Tingxue instinctively shrank back, Ye Shengqing's expression was shocked, and he forgot to continue speaking for a while.

Only the old Taoist priest still smiled, stretched out his palm and patted his stomach, and slapped the hideous faces back one by one, as if he was greeting these former guests one by one.

In the strange silence, only the "popping" sound of the old Taoist priest slapping his belly sounded one after another.

I don't know how long it took, Ye Shengqing coughed lightly, and before the old Taoist priest showed more strange behavior, he spoke first: "Actually, there is also an existence in the sword mound that can communicate normally, haven't you seen it before?"

The old Taoist priest put down his robe, looked at Ye Shengqing and said, "Really, where is it?"

"It's an oasis...... Ye Shengqing originally planned to point in a direction, but when the word "oasis" appeared in his mind, he instinctively sensed the direction in which the oasis was located.

"This should be the Sword Sect's response to be afraid that we will lose our way and stay in advance, and I don't know what kind of magical power this is. โ€

Ye Shengqing thought to himself in his heart, but he continued: "There is a strong man in that oasis, and he guards a stone gate that can connect to the outside world......"

"To the outside world?" The old Taoist priest interrupted, his eyes became hot, and he flipped his wrist to find an extra leather ancient book in his palm, and he asked while flipping through the ancient book: "Is there a dark night and stars in the outside world, and the sky is no longer gray?"

Ye Shengqing saw that the other party's interest was aroused, and although he was curious about the ancient book, he still nodded again and again.

The old Taoist priest continued to flip through the ancient books, and asked, "Is there a spring rain, a fragrance of flowers and birds, and what are the four seasons?"

As he spoke, the old Taoist priest seemed to feel that the language was too weak, so he unfolded the ancient book and showed its contents in front of Ye Shengqing.

"Is everything in this book true? Is that really the outside world?"

Ye Shengqing looked at the ancient book, only to see that the content on it was half a color painting, half a text annotation, this page was drawn a lotus pond, and the text annotation described the nature of the lotus flower, when the flower bloomed, when the flower fell......

When Ye Shengqing finished browsing the content, this page changed by itself, and the lotus in the pond suddenly bloomed, and then withered and withered in the next second, manifesting the life of the lotus in a short period of time.

The corresponding text has also changed, this time explaining what it means to "get out of the mud without staining", and expounding the spirit and connotation represented by the lotus......

"No wonder this old Taoist priest seems to know everything, and he doesn't seem to understand anything, it turns out that his cognition of the world comes from this ancient book, what is the origin of this book?"

Ye Shengqing didn't think much about it, nodded to the old Taoist priest and said, "This is a pool of lotus flowers, there are them in my hometown, and when they bloom, the picture is really beautiful." โ€

The old Taoist priest looked longing, and suddenly turned the ancient book again, so that the last page was presented in front of Ye Shengqing: "What about him? Is he also in the outside world?"

This page depicts a portrait of a man with a blurred face, wearing a dark robe embroidered with auspicious clouds, holding a white jade whisk in his hand, and the starry night in the background, with a bright moon hanging high above.

He secretly speculated in his heart: "The Taoist robe worn by this old Taoist priest is obviously imitating the one on the portrait, and they should have a good relationship with each other, and they should have more respect for the one on the portrait." โ€

"The vastness of the outside world is almost endless, and my fortune is too shallow to meet this Dao Master. Ye Shengqing said.

The old Taoist priest shook his head and said, "You really don't have that blessing, how many people in this world have such a blessing as the poor Dao, can be ignited by the teacher?"

Ye Shengqing nodded quietly and continued to induce: "The old-timers have a lot of magic to the sky, presumably Lingzun Shi is even more immortal, and he should have a great name among the world's ten thousand clans, if the old-timers go to the outside world, it should be very easy to find Ling Zunshi." โ€

The old Taoist priest was really moved, and he smiled and said: "I don't know what to call Xiaoyou, if you help the poor Taoist master and apprentice meet, then Xiaoyou, you will be the first-class guest of the poor Taoist mansion!"

Ye Shengqing was shocked when he heard this, he didn't want to be this bullshit guest, he forced a laugh and said his name.

"Okay, okay, Ye Xiaoyou wait a while, the true body of the poor road has not been active for nearly a thousand years, and when the poor road stretches its muscles, we will immediately set off to meet the gatekeeper. โ€

As the old Taoist priest spoke, his figure disappeared abruptly, and the entire tortoise-shaped hall began to vibrate continuously, making a loud noise.

......

In the gray sky, Lu Li's hair flew wildly, and the wind hovered.

He unfurled his dark robes, crossed his hands on his hips, and let a jet of yellowish water depart from under him and fall far into the clear lake.

Lu Li whistled, his body shook suddenly, and the pale yellow water column also stopped abruptly.

At this moment, the earth trembled violently, and in the loud boom, the giant trees toppled over, the earth flew, and the waves on the lake surged, and the green hills surrounding the lake faded their disguises, revealing their original appearanceโ€”gray and white fangs!

"No, it's just a soak of urine, so it's urgent?" Lu Li was taken aback, and his figure suddenly disappeared in place, flashing a hundred miles away.

Ang โ€”โ€”!

In the thunderous roar, a wave of qi struck, and Lu Li, who was a hundred miles away, was affected, and finally stabilized his body, he stared intently, and a pair of sword eyebrows became tighter and tighter.

In the dust, the pitch-black head slowly lifted, its dark eyes were like two pools of secluded springs, and the huge mouth opened and closed like a gate to hell!

When the giant turtle fully showed its shape, Lu Li could no longer express the shock in his heart in words, he only saw that on the back of the huge turtle shell, there were still two strong peaks......

"What else is this fighting...... Lu Li sighed, stretched out his black robe, and quickly fled into the distance.

The giant tortoise took heavy steps, leaving a terrifying pit on the ground with every step, and the tremors trembled everywhere it passed, and almost all the Sword Sect monks felt that terrifying aura.

"That'...... What's that?"

"Dragons, no, dragons aren't that big!"

"That momentum...... The Sword Sect threw us here to murder us!"

......

In the primeval dense forest, next to the stone gate, the sword shrine guardian who was sitting lazily suddenly rose to the sky, his gaze piercing through the dense fog and boundless space, and landed on a huge giant tortoise of unrivaled size.

The dark-skinned guardian of the Sword Sect stretched out his scarlet tongue and licked his lips, revealing a wicked smile.

"It's interesting and interesting, there is still a remnant of the desolation hidden in the sword mound......" he was muttering to himself, his body suddenly rushed forward, as if he couldn't suppress the desire to kill in his heart, and wanted to kill the so-called "remnant of the desolation".

The Sword Shrine Guardian was at the edge of the forest in an instant, but then, an illusory chain appeared on him, leading straight to the stone gate.

Choke!

The Sword Shrine Guardian's body froze suddenly, and he glanced at the illusory chain bound to his body, and sneered.

Without struggling, the Sword Shrine Guardian was suspended at the edge of the dense forest, waiting for the arrival of the "remnants of the flood".

......

In the canopy, on a bronze giant sword as big as a house, the three Vincents and the newly joined Ace all held their breath, looking not far away, looking at the terrifying thing looming in the thick fog with solemn expressions.

"I kind of regret getting closer. Lin Xi lowered her voice and said, there was a hint of trembling in her cold voice, a pair of slender hands tightly grasped the corners of the robe, trying her best to restrain her sword qi, for fear of alarming the huge existence in the dense fog.

Although Vincent on the side also looked solemn, the curiosity in his heart was still slightly better.

The dark golden pupils turned slightly, and under the skin of Vincent's eyes, mysterious and complicated runes resurfaced, and he looked intently, and finally saw the whole picture of the existence in the thick fog.

"Shhh

I saw that the thick mist suddenly dispersed, and a huge deep eye like a dark spring appeared in front of him through the mist.

This extremely frightening picture is like an ant looking at a human in the front view, and this "human" has excellent eyesight, and can clearly see the horror, awe, and shock in the ant's eyes.

The golden vertical line between Ace's forehead flashed with golden light, allowing him to get rid of the terrifying and unspeakable coercion first, Ace didn't say hello, turned around and fled, and the robe fluttered out of a distance of nearly 100 zhang.

Ace's sudden action brought the three Vincent back to their senses, either following the wind, turning around with the bronze greatsword, or turning into several silver streamers and fleeing in all directions.
