Chapter 198: Dare to Ask Heaven Is There an Immortality?
"Could it be that the little mouse took out the Yuan Stone from here?" Chen Mo knew that the pale cyan stone in the Dao was not a real Yuan Stone, but the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi contained in it was genuine, and he meditated for five days on the top of it, and his heart moved, thinking that there must be a Yuan Stone in this cave, and thought that if there were really any demons and monsters, how could this little mouse go in and out and be safe and sound, thinking of this, Chen Mo relaxed a lot of vigilance in his heart, and took a few steps to pick up the light cyan stone on the ground.
Brushing aside the rattan and branches and leaves blocking the entrance of the cave, and stepping into the cave, the cool air from the pavement made Chen Mo feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, the cave was pitch black, Chen Mo took out a flashlight, illuminated the road, and followed the little mouse for a distance of about 100 meters, and the sight was open, but it was a stone house of about 30 square meters.
The walls of the entire stone house are made of stone, and the walls are exuding a gloomy and cold atmosphere, which makes people feel a little panicked.
Through the flashlight, Chen Mo looked around the stone room, and couldn't help but be surprised, there were no hundreds of yuan stones or even pale cyan stones as he imagined, and in the corner of the wall three meters to his left, a skeleton was leaning against the wall, wrapped in light blue cloth, tattered, obviously weathered.
"Squeak!" The cry of the little mouse attracted Chen Mo, and the light of the flashlight shone through, only to see the little mouse first kneeling on the ground and kowtowing three times to the skeleton, and then holding a worn-out yellow futon pressed under the leg bones of the skeleton, and leaning towards Chen Mo step by step.
Chen Mo was guessing what the identity of the skeleton was, but he saw the little mouse tear it with his teeth violently. The yellow futon was torn open, and a book and a small iron ring fell out of it.
As soon as the two things fell out, the little mouse immediately jumped to the side and squeaked at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo's heart moved, and he stepped forward to pick up these two things, because the sight in the cave was very bad, he walked out of the cave, at this time, he had already determined that the little mouse should have no ill will towards him. I am not on high alert for it. Stand at the entrance of the cave and look through the book.
This is a thread-bound book, but the appearance is relatively new, except that the material is somewhat aged. I can't tell how old it is. When the first page is turned. Chen Mo's eyes couldn't help but widen, "Dare to ask the heavens if there is immortality?" ”
The eight words were full of unwillingness and regret, but Chen Mo did not savor them too much. In his eyes, immortality is a vain thing, and he is satisfied to live to be seventy or eighty years old.
"For the rest of his life, he cut off the red dust, cut off the cause and effect, cultivated the truth diligently, had no distractions, and only sought eternal life. Three hundred years of penance, originally to obtain the way of immortality, in the end will eventually turn into a pile of loess, now I will record what I have learned in my life here, in the hope that future generations will pass it on. Zhang Yuanyang! The text on the second page reveals a strong unwillingness to be persistent, Chen Mo almost felt unstable when he saw it, the obsession contained in each word was too deep, the desire for immortality, and the unwillingness to die, Chen Mo seemed to be in the experience.
"Such a strong mind, it almost shook my Dao heart, who is this Zhang Yuanyang? Actually a cultivator, and an old monster who has been cultivating for three hundred years, damn, doesn't that mean that cultivation can indeed live a hundred years, but unfortunately, he died at the very end, but he is too pessimistic, three hundred years old, alas, if I live to be a hundred years old, I will be satisfied! Chen Mo thought so, and still couldn't wait to look down, after all, it was marked on it, this book is a record of what Zhang Yuanyang has learned all his life, what Chen Mo lacks now is the experience of cultivating truth, with this book, he can compare himself as a reference.
After some reading, it took two hours, and this still did not have the effect of tasting word by word, at least 30,000 words.
"Whew!" Chen Mo closed the book, looked at the iron ring with a diameter of three centimeters in his hand, and then looked at the little mouse not far from him, and his eyes flashed with complexity.
The book is rich in a lot of cultivation information, although Chen Mo only read it quickly, he felt that it was broad and profound, enough for him to understand for a while, and at the same time, the author of the book, Zhang Yuanyang, that is, the skeleton in the cave, introduced this seemingly harmless little mouse in the book, but ruthless, treacherous and cunning.
"I have a pet, named the treasure eater, with me a jiazi, is the spirit beast of heaven and earth, life span of five hundred years, has the ability to enter the ground through the mountains to find treasure, to feed on the true yuan, I have taken off the spirit beast ring, release it, if there is a fate to see this book and this ring, use it, if you meet my rat, then treat it well!" Thinking back on the introduction of these dozens of words, Chen Mo looked at the little mouse that was paying attention to him, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he really didn't expect that this little mouse was actually a spirit beast.
The word spirit beast, Chen Mo is naturally not unfamiliar, he has read a lot of cultivation novels, and has played a lot of cultivation games, but even after he himself cultivates the truth, he has always thought that this thing is just a legend, after all, he has never seen it with his own eyes, it should be regarded as non-existent, and now Zhang Yuanyang's introduction in this book has mentioned the treasure devouring rat many times, plus the treasure devouring rat itself is very strange, Chen Mo finally confirmed the existence of spirit beasts in this world.
Although Zhang Yuanyang did not indicate what era he was, judging from the dry bones in the cave, especially the dry bones with a long braid, it is certain that it should be a person from the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty? It was a hundred years ago, so this Zhang Yuanyang has been dead for at least a hundred years.
For a hundred years, the treasure devouring rat has not died, or is the little mouse in front of him not Zhang Yuanyang's treasure devouring rat at that time, but its descendants? But Zhang Yuanyang's book clearly mentions that the lifespan of the treasure devouring mouse can reach five hundred years, so that nine times out of ten, the little mouse in front of him was left by Zhang Yuanyang back then, but it didn't leave, Zhang Yuanyang obviously released it, but it has been staying here for hundreds of years, this kind of loyalty to the master, Chen Mo was also moved.
"No wonder this treasure devouring rat was very hostile to me at first, and even attacked me secretly, wanting to kill me, but after being attacked by me with the true element, it hesitated, presumably to judge whether I was a cultivator, and attacked me again for the second time, and I launched the true element to attack it, although it caused it pain, but it was very excited, and there was no resentment, it turned out to confirm my identity as a cultivator." Chen Mo finally understood why the treasure devouring rat had lured him here.
"No wonder you can understand human language, it turns out that there is a master named Zhang Yuanyang, right? Do you know that I am the same kind as your old master, so you brought me here to let me inherit your old master's inheritance? Chen Mo thought for a while, put the thread-bound book into his school bag, held the iron ring in his hand, and asked the little mouse who was already jumping on a tree.
"Squeak!" The little mouse nodded at the rat's head.
"Well, I have already received your old master's things, and I will naturally help him pass them on, you don't have to worry about this, but you have to promise me in the future to recognize me as the new master." If Chen Mo didn't know the origin of the little mouse, since he knew that Lu Dao was a spirit beast, how could he let it go easily, and this spirit beast would also hunt for treasures, with it, all kinds of treasures would be available.
"Squeak!" The little mouse hurriedly shook the head of the mouse, then quickly jumped down from the tree, turned around and got into the hole, and ran out again after a while, holding a piece of pale cyan jade in his mouth, it did not give it directly to Chen Mo this time, but jumped on the branch, gently put the pale cyan jade on the branch, and then pointed at Chen Mo, gestured with his front paws to the pale cyan jade, made a cross-knee meditation and cultivation action, and then made a feeding action.
After reading it for a long time, Chen Mo contacted Zhang Yuanyang's multiple introductions to the treasure devouring rat in his book, and finally understood its meaning, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
"You old fellow, you are really a lord who can't afford to make a profit, you are bargaining with me, you want me to absorb the vitality in this stone into my body, and then turn it into pure true yuan, and then feed it to you, isn't this the truth?" Chen Mo asked with a funny expression on his face.
The Treasure Eater actually made a look like you finally understood, and then nodded quickly.
"But all the spirit beasts of heaven and earth like to feed on the vitality of heaven and earth, and the true yuan of the cultivator is the essence of the change of the vitality, and it is the favorite of the spirit beast, the real purpose of this treasure devouring rat is not to let me inherit the inheritance of its old master, but after seeing the identity of my cultivator, he quickly gave me a big gift, hoping to follow me, but the premise is that I have to feed it the true yuan from time to time, which is really a tangled thing!" Chen Mo knew that the true yuan of the Dao was not easy to come by, he only had the amount of true yuan in the middle stage of enlightenment, and it was still a big gap from his cultivation in the late stage of enlightenment, if there was no supply of a large number of yuan stones, he would really not be able to raise this treasure devouring rat with the true yuan of the body.
Seeing Chen Mo's expression became serious, and he was very hesitant, it couldn't help but get nervous, the Treasure Eater Rat is a very low-level spirit beast, not only can they not be compared with the legendary dragon, unicorn, phoenix, fox and other super advanced spirit beasts, even survival skills can not be compared, some high-level spirit beasts, innately will suck the vitality of heaven and earth to provide the body's nutritional balance, but the treasure devouring rat cannot, they can't absorb the vitality between heaven and earth, can only rely on devouring some treasures with the vitality of heaven and earth to supplement the needs of the body.
Treasure Eater and Cultivator, with an inappropriate analogy, seems to be an adulterer and a silver woman, as soon as they meet, they are the master of dry wood and fire, a very simple example, Treasure Eater Rats can find some Yuan Shi or elixir through their sense of smell far beyond other spirit beasts, and it is good to say a little bit in the face of the elixir, they can be swallowed directly, but between heaven and earth, the elixir is made by sucking the essence of the sun and the moon, not much, how can it be found every day, so the Yuan Stone is also a necessity.
But the heaven and earth vitality in the Yuan Stone, the treasure eater rat can not suck it, the surface of a piece of the Yuan stone, it can be said that it is harder than the diamond diamond, with the teeth of the treasure eater rat, even if the mouth of the mouth is lost, it can't bite the surface of the Yuan stone, not to mention, even if some of the harmful treasure devouring rats can bite off the Yuan Stone, but the moment the Yuan Stone is broken, the vitality in it will instantly melt into the air, and the treasure devouring rat will still get nothing.
