Chapter 9, The Skeleton Gives Fate
When Xu Yufeng was in despair, he felt as if there was a breeze below him holding him up.
He fell slowly, and eventually, he landed on top of something soft.
"This is..." he opened his eyes and grabbed down, and he caught a clump of hair!
He let go of his hand and groped in the darkness, unable to see anything clearly, but still alive, and that was the best thing for him.
"Smack...."
Just as he was concentrating on groping, there was a sudden sound behind him, apparently something had fallen.
"Who is it...."Xu Yufeng whispered.
"Click... Click...."
Hearing such a voice, Xu Yufeng's heart was completely desperate, and the terrifying skeleton did not stop Li Zide, but also fell.....
"If you have something to do, you can find that fat man, what kind of ability is it to bully the weak!" Xu Yufeng slowly squatted down, picked up a stone, and prepared to attack.
"Click.... Click...."
The skeleton was getting closer and closer, the speed was extremely slow, and the distance of these few steps seemed to be several years long, and just when Xu Yufeng couldn't help but be about to make a move, he heard a sigh.
"Ugh...."
The sigh became more and more real, there was no one else around, only himself, and a skeleton, so this sigh .....
"Can you speak?" Xu Yufeng asked tentatively.
"It's ironic that a little Qi cultivator dared to break into the place I was guarding, and it turned out to be successful.....
Xu Yufeng was startled, jumped back, and sat on the ground with a soft foot: "You.... You ....."
"Boy, what are you doing here as a mortal?" the skeleton sat down slowly, not moving.
Xu Yufeng didn't say a word, and it took a long time before he came to his senses, and he asked slowly, "You... Are you a human or a ghost?"
"I'm not human, I'm just a remnant of thoughts that should have dissipated. The skeleton didn't look like it, but deep regret could be heard in his tone.
After a brief conversation between the two, Xu Yufeng also felt that the skeleton was not malicious, but just a sentimental skeleton that gave up on itself after failing the mission.
"Can you tell me about it? Xu Yufeng didn't feel so scared anymore, and after chatting like this for a while, in the pitch-black environment, he forgot that what was in front of him was not a living person, but a skeleton.
"I don't know if I practice qi, the way of the world has changed greatly....." After the skeleton said this, he was silent for a long time, Xu Yufeng was not in a hurry, and he didn't dare to urge.
"People in the world are all on the way to cultivate immortals, the beginning of cultivating immortals is to forge the body, and after the physical body reaches its own limit, it can breathe out the aura of heaven and earth, this step is to practice qi, and you don't need to know the next road, just a mortal. "The skeleton is also clearly bored," explained.
"He can throw out a non-extinguishing ball at will, and his speed is like a ghost, so he should be an immortal, right?" Xu Yufeng asked again.
The skeleton had no expression, but it laughed humanically, and although the laughter was mechanical, it had a different flavor.
"Immortal, practicing qi is just to understand aura, if it was placed in the past, I can make it disappear with one look, what kind of immortal is it." ”
"Then can I practice qi?"
"Oh, are you interested in cultivating immortals?"
The skeleton didn't have this idea before, but after hearing Xu Yufeng say this, a thought suddenly appeared.
"Everyone in the world aspires to become an immortal, and I naturally want to too!"
"That's good, you and I meet is fate, it's not impossible for me to help you, it's just that I've lost my senses, and I can't find out if you have immortal assets, but I don't want to cheapen that fat man, even if you don't have immortal assets, as long as you have the idea of becoming an immortal, I'll help you!"
Xu Yufeng's eyes were full of yearning.
"I'm going to ask you a question, and you're going to answer me truthfully, and you're going to answer me from your heart!" the skeleton said.
"Yes. ”
"There are demons in the world, what is the difference between demons and humans?"
"Demon.... I don't know, I haven't encountered it. ”
"There are beasts in the world, but what is the difference between beasts and men?"
"A beast is a beast, and a man is a man, so why do we have to compare ourselves with man?"
"Although the human race is weak, it knows how to use the power of the Great Dao, and is not afraid of ten thousand demons, but can suppress ten thousand beasts, why not compare with people?"
"I don't know about the demon, but if it's a beast, I still know a little bit about it, if you take a dog as an example, the dog's sense of smell is inherently sensitive, but we have never envied it, do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Human nature is arrogant, although people are good at the beginning, but the acquired heart is inevitably arrogant, dogs are domestic animals, people will not envy the ability of domestic animals, let you have a keen sense of smell, if you envy the human race, willing to be inferior, you will be pressed under your feet for the rest of your life. ”
"As a Terran, you say such things as you do as a Terran. ”
"Although I am a human race, I never like to talk about people, people's hearts are too complicated, I dare not talk about it, it is not easy to talk about it....."
"I read a lot at a young age, in that case, I would like to ask you a question at the end, cultivating immortals or cultivating the Tao?"
Hearing this question, Xu Yufeng was silent, he didn't know how to answer, don't say it was him, even if those Qi cultivators came, they couldn't find the answer.
But the skeleton was not in a hurry at all, as if he had decided that Xu Yufeng could answer, and waited quietly for Xu Yufeng's answer without saying a word.
Time passed minute by minute, Xu Yufeng's mind flashed through a lot of thoughts, all kinds of ancient scriptures and ancient books flashed, but he vetoed them one by one.
After a long time, Xu Yufeng licked his dry lips and slowly spoke:
"The avenue reproduces all things, but all things want to become immortals, and those who step into the immortal road chase the avenue, in the end, the avenue is all things, and the immortals are the avenue, in the end, all things are their own body, and what they cultivate is not the way, and what they cultivate is not immortals, and what they cultivate is their own body, and what they cultivate is the heart of the world!
The skeleton let out a mechanical laugh again, and it couldn't believe that such words could come from the sixteen-year-old boy in front of it.
"I won't teach you any anti-heaven spells, I'm guarding a creature here, it's been so long since I've forgotten what I'm going to protect..... I'll give you a chance, but it can be fatal, are you afraid?"
Xu Yufeng nodded: "I'm afraid, but I want to try, Li Ziqiang's strength is too strong, even if I can get out alive, I don't have enough strength, I will definitely die if I meet him." ”
"It's about living in death!"
Then, the skeleton kept chanting the incantation, Xu Yufeng's body slowly floated, and on the side, the red light expanded again, and it actually flew over.
Then, the red light submerged into Xu Yufeng's left eye, and the strong stinging pain made Xu Yufeng faint directly, but his physical body couldn't bear it, and his own divine sense would not faint.
The intense tingling was still there, and it was stronger than the physical sensation.
A strong sense of rejection appeared, Xu Yufeng couldn't control his body at this moment, this was the body's instinct to reject this red light.
Several drops of blood and tears flowed from his left eye, and if he hadn't fainted, he would have let out a heart-rending scream.
In his mind, the red light slowly took shape, and a red-haired man slowly appeared in his mind.
The man's long red hair was windless, he was dressed in a black robe, his left eye was red, he was handsome and martial, but he was evil, standing aside like an abyss, people couldn't help but be attracted by it, but once they were attracted to it, it would be a catastrophe!
The man stretched out his right hand and spoke slowly, his voice seemed to be extremely vicissitudes, and there was an atmosphere of time, which made people feel that they were aging a few years: "Come, fight with me!"
