Chapter 209: Monkey Cage
The light shattered the walls of the mountain, shone down, and twisted into an invisible cage.
On the black sarcophagus, a thin figure sits cross-legged.
The "immortal being" trapped in the cage has always maintained a posture with his back to all beings, if it weren't for the breathing tide of life and death echoing around the mountain wall...... Then the scene in front of Ning Yi at this moment is like a still painting.
It's hard to imagine that this senior has been sitting here for so long.
Listening to his tone...... "five hundred years" is just a short time, and the time that passes with a flick of a finger is not worth the slightest sigh and remembrance.
So how many years has he been sitting here?
When Ning Yi had never met Xu Zang and had never understood the cultivation world, he wandered the streets and alleys of Qingbai City for a period of time, and there were ancient legends of gods and spirits in the neighborhood, and at that time, he didn't know what "immortal" meant.
Until stepping into Shu Mountain.
Only then did he know that the word immortal meant a realm that could not be reached, but could not be touched by all cultivators.
Amazing talent is as beautiful as Xu Zang, traveling around.
Cultivated as Tongtian as Taizong, Mr. Ye.
The two worlds, hundreds of millions of living beings, have been thousands of years, or even longer...... I have not seen the existence of an "immortal" monument with my own eyes.
And at this moment.
Ning Yi also understood the reason why Mr. Lu Sheng wanted to guard the back mountain so closely.
Mr. Lu Sheng has been here.
I saw the existence in the "cage of light".
Immortality is truly existing, and it is not a lie!
Ning Yi looked at the lonely figure sitting on the sarcophagus, and countless questions surged in his mind...... About the "cage", about the "cultivation", about the origin of the black-robed man.
And he didn't know where to start.
The formidable thin figure turned his head slightly, and two indifferent eyes were cast in the black robe.
"There's no one you have to find here. Once you've asked the questions, you're ready to go. ”
"Hugh will disturb my purity. ”
After speaking, it regained its silent appearance, like a stone sculpture.
Ning Yi hurriedly stood up and put away the things that had been arrayed before, and he said with a smile: "Senior...... It's been a long time since you've seen a living person, so don't you have anything to say?"
The sarcophagus in the cage of light, and the people on the sarcophagus, did not move at all.
"Then the junior will leave......" Ning Yi made a gesture and asked knowingly: "Senior doesn't want anyone outside to know that you are still alive?"
The god on the sarcophagus sneered: "If you have one more nonsense, believe it or not, I will smash all this mountain." ”
Ning Yi immediately stopped talking, but he still had the same smile as before...... The so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, Ning Yi and Wen Tao and Wu Daozi are equal in the degree of cheekiness, but if the scene at this moment is replaced by the latter, he will never have the courage to talk with a shy face, but the soles of his feet are oiled and he immediately slips away.
He tentatively retreated, but from the sword qi cave, he took out a can of aged wine, placed it on the ground, and slowly pulled out the wooden cork at the mouth of the pot, and in an instant, the aroma of wine overflowed.
Immortals also have mortal desires.
When Ning Yi just came in, he saw the wine jars placed in the cage of light, and the existence that locked himself here should not be able to step out of the cage if nothing else...... Although I don't know why that cage exists, since I can't get out of the cage, I can't see the changes in the outside world, and if I want to drink, I naturally have to rely on outsiders to bring it.
Those wines...... It should have been brought here by Mr. Lu Sheng five hundred years ago.
Ning Yi said softly: "Senior, junior is gone." ”
He was ready to get out of here.
Mr. Ye is not here...... This back mountain is very large, according to the trajectory of the dragon hunt, there is only a safe passage that can lead here, there is no need to deceive himself about the existence of the sarcophagus, Ning Yi can only guess that there are other "singularities" here, and Mr. Ye touched the "singularity".
Ning Yi bent down to put down the wine stopper, but heard a jerky and annoyed voice.
"Bring the wine. ”
His body stiffened slightly, and when he raised his head, a harmless smile appeared on him.
"Okay. ”
Ning Yi held the big wine jar and walked forward quickly, as he expected, this senior who was locked in the cage had no way to reach out of the cage.
With the permission of this senior, Ning Yi finally had the opportunity to spy on the recent situation of this cage.
The black sarcophagus is unpretentious and unpretentious, and there is nothing special about it...... It doesn't look like some kind of immortal gold, what kind of superb material casting, but it is engraved with ancient words, which Ning Yi has never seen before.
Older than ancient Sanskrit!
Those wine jars, wine cans, placed in the corners, the paper seals have long since dried and withered, I don't know how many years they have been placed here, but the senior's heart is excellent...... Ning Yi thought about it for a moment, if he was sitting here by himself, and no one had spoken for five hundred years, under the condition of retaining consciousness, it was very likely that he would go crazy?
Ning Yi wanted to say something, but he immediately thought that if he was that existence, the first person he would see in five hundred years would be a noisy ant......
He sighed in his heart and chose to keep his mouth shut.
Holding the wine jar, he came to the huge cage, and what amazed Ning Yi was that the pillar of light in this cage was thick and thick, and there were countless ciphertexts, which were exactly the same as the words on the sarcophagus...... They are all from extremely distant antiquity, and the years of this immortal birth are too long!
"Put the wine ...... Place it horizontally on the outside and let it roll in. ”
The ancient being on the sarcophagus was still facing away from Ning Yi, and his voice sounded short and impatient, "Don't touch the cage pillar." ”
Ning Yi squatted down and did as he said-
The round mound wine jar slowly rolled through the cage of light, but it was not damaged, and the soft light shone on the jar...... There was not the slightest burst of murderous intent.
Rolling into the cage, the senior suddenly raised his hand, and the jar rose to the ground, crushed by the huge suction.
At this moment, Ning Yi retracted the opinion that "this senior has a good heart", the wine in the sky, like a dragon and snake dancing wildly, was sucked into the abdomen by the thin figure on the sarcophagus, the wine jar was shattered, and the altar body was shaken into tiles, turned into powder, and completely annihilated!
Whale Swallow!
The smell of wine turned into a long snake, and with the withered figure, it evaporated into a mist.
White wine mist shrouded.
The black-robed man on the sarcophagus turned his head and saw Ning Yi about to stretch out his finger to touch the pillar of light in the cage, and said hoarsely: "If you want to try the taste of the soul flying...... Then give it a try and see if this cage can annihilate you. ”
Ning Yi was so frightened that he hurriedly raised his hand.
Out of one's wits?
He plucked a strand of hair and presented it to the light-encased pillar of heaven, the strand of hair fluttering in the soft shimmer.
The black-robed man sneered: "All dead things will not trigger the formation, you reach out and hold the pillar." ”
Ning Yi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The junior is just curious...... I've never seen such a mysterious formation, this is the work of the predecessors?"
Cautious temptation.
This senior is locked in here...... Or locked here by something more powerful.
If it is the latter, then Ning Yi can't accept it for the time being.
on the sarcophagus
The black-robed man didn't answer Ning Yi, but just sneered and said, "Who in the world dares to lock me, and who in the world can lock me?"
He paused slightly, and said indifferently: "I just don't want to go out." ”
Ning Yi scratched his head.
This senior speaks...... Pretty good.
Interesting.
Between the lines, there is a sense of vicissitudes of time, and the tone of his voice does not sound like a person of this era...... But when Ning Yi really approached him, he didn't have too much fear, and for some reason, there was some kindness.
Ning Yi smiled: "Do you still want wine from your predecessors?"
The black-robed being snorted coldly and did not speak.
Ning Yi took out the remaining jars of wine from the sword qi cave and put them in front of the light cage, he did not rush to push these wines forward, but said sincerely: "Senior...... My surname is Ning, and my single name is a Yi character. ”
The black-robed man frowned, "What are you saying this to me?"
Ning Yihan said with a smile: "Five hundred years ago, Mr. Lu Sheng came here to deliver wine, and five hundred years later, I will also come to deliver wine...... After so many years of loneliness, seniors will always find it boring, right? If you don't mind, Ning Yi can come here often in the future, talk to seniors, and bring more wine by the way...... Tiannan Haibei, as long as the seniors want to drink, Ning will definitely send it, and it will be enough. ”
Ning Yi paused slightly.
He paid attention to the reaction of the black-robed man, and made sure that the other party was not angry, so he said respectfully: "Senior can you answer a few questions for Ning...... These jars of wine are to be used as thanksgiving gifts. ”
The black-robed man on the sarcophagus looked at Ning Yi coldly and said, "Are you negotiating terms with me?"
Ning Yi directly sent a few jars of wine in, and said seriously: "I have no intention of doing this...... If the seniors don't like it, the juniors will never talk to them in the future, and they won't disturb the purity of the seniors. Whatever alcohol the seniors want to drink, they will still be delivered regularly. ”
The black-robed man frowned.
Ning Yi smiled helplessly: "The prosperity of Shushan back then was all due to the lord of Lu Shengshan...... It's just that the mountain lord has disappeared from the world for 500 years. This back mountain has also been desolate for 500 years, and I am the only disciple who has entered this place in these years. ”
The black-robed man was not in a hurry to drink, but raised his brows, slowly turned his face, and said, "Lu Sheng disappeared from the world?
The wind blows.
The "thin figure" sitting on the sarcophagus turned slowly.
At this moment.
Ning Yi looked at "him".
Ning Yi's pupils contracted slightly, reflecting a cheek full of withered yellow hair, which was not a human face at all...... The sharp-beaked monkey's cheeks were upside down, the tips of his eyebrows provoked two touches of rebellion, the withered yellow hair of his sideburns flew in the wind, and the black robe was thrown backwards by the wind.
This exists.
Not human at all.
"Bang", "bang", "bang" three times!
The monkey in the black robe, his movements were vigorous, his hands supported the sarcophagus to the ground, and the three wine jars were shattered in an instant, and the wine was inhaled into his abdomen, the sky was full of tornadoes, and water droplets splashed, and he came to Ning Yi in an instant, a pair of fiery eyes full of murderous intent.
The boiling sound of "snort".
The monkey held the two pillars of light with both hands, and the light that was enough to burn the souls of all beings only burned in the palms of his hands, igniting a cloud of white smoke.
Enduring the intense pain, he screamed: "Lu Sheng said that he would retrieve the weapon for me, and it would be five hundred years if he left!"
There is only a millimeter between the two.
Near Ning Yi, he could see the hair on the forehead of that "immortal" senior.
The "big yang thing" in his hands is his hair.
"Five hundred years ago, I was deceived once. ”
The monkey stared at Ning Yi and asked word by word, "Now...... How can I trust you?"
