Facing the incense burner is the main hall, and the statue of Nuwa Niangniang is sitting in the center of the main hall, dressed in gold, full of kindness! Directly below the statue there are two futons for people to kneel and worship.

The two knelt down on the futon, folded their hands and kowtowed three times.

Li Yan smiled at the statue and said: "Niangniang is eccentric, I haven't seen us a few times, and I can only kneel here to worship your statue, and I don't know if you can hear it, and please bless us to complete the task as soon as possible, so that the world will not be ruined, it is our supreme merit!" ”

After that, he kowtowed three times in a row.

Li Yi was no longer surprised by this situation, and only at this time could Li Yan show rare seriousness.

Li Yi and Li Yan were born less than an hour apart, although they came from different families, they have been together for almost everything since they started to remember, read and practice calligraphy together, and practiced martial arts together.

They are all from the Rui tribe, the Rui tribe that the old man said was the one who went into seclusion with Nuwa, but many things began to change over time, and the people of the Rui tribe were no exception.

When he went into seclusion with Nuwa, everyone in the Rui clan practiced, and some of them also had very high cultivation, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were Da Luo Jin Immortals according to human standards.

However, some people's cultivation is not so smooth, they are always unable to break through some realms and stand still, although they can slow down the aging of their bodies, they can't avoid death in the end.

After all, the clansmen have already come into contact with the way of heaven and earth, and they also understand the laws of nature to some extent, and they have long looked down on life and death, and they have also accepted this arrangement. He simply took his energy out of his practice and began to enjoy life, experiencing the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of birth, old age, sickness, and death, which is almost no different from the current situation in the world.

It's just that the people of the Rui tribe are organic people in the end, and the environment they live in is transformed by the limbs of Pangu, although they can't make the body reach the point of immortality, but everyone can live a long life.

After an unknown number of years, many people have simply stopped practicing and enjoyed ordinary life wholeheartedly, and even some people who have cultivated high enough have even taken the initiative to give up their achievements and devote themselves to the world.

This once made Li Yi very unintelligible, but Li Yan didn't think so, he said that there is nothing strange about it, people always know that it is not great after having it, and only after losing it do they know how valuable it is.

Li Yi naturally couldn't understand Li Yan's thoughts, and at the same time, he also understood that Li Yan only had such thoughts, which had a lot to do with his life.

Li Yan's parents are those who have not cultivated, originally they wanted Li Yan to grow up to live like them, to enjoy the joys and sorrows of life, to face life, old age, sickness and death in life, and then disappear after experiencing everything, they have already believed that the cycle of life and death is the most perfect.

It's just that Nuwa appeared when Li Yan was born, and although Li Yan's parents did not practice, they still regarded Nuwa as their ancestors, and every family worshiped the idol of Nuwa, and never forgot to worship it every day.

This form is the same as that of the human world, where the worship is mostly for prayer, while the Rui people are completely respectful, and they think from the bottom of their hearts that Nuwa is their family, and without Nuwa there would be no them.

Nuwa appeared directly in Li Yan's parents' house, and naturally sat on the chair next to her, while Li Yan's parents were in the back room, immersed in the joy of being a father. Nuwa didn't bother them, but was attracted by the aroma of the glass of water on the table, so she couldn't help but reach out and check it.

The color of the water in the cup is different from the general water, the general water is clear and tasteless, but the color of the water is much darker, and there are a few leaf-like things in it, Nuwa put it on the side of her nose and smelled it, a fragrance from the nostrils to the brain, and the spirit instantly sobered up a lot.

At this time, Li Yan's parents came out of the back room, Li Yan's mother was still holding Li Yan in her hands, and the two saw that Nuwa was sitting in the house, so they hurriedly knelt down and buckled their heads. Although Li Yan's parents had not seen Nuwa herself, they were only pleasantly surprised.

Nuwa lowered the water cup and told them to get up. After Li Yan's father got up, he bowed to Nuwa and said, "Nuwa Niangniang has not appeared for a long time, I don't know what is going on here today?" ”

Nuwa motioned for him to take Li Yan over, Li Yan's mother hurriedly stepped forward, Nuwa took Li Yan from her hand and looked at him carefully for a while, then handed it to Li Yan's mother and said softly: "I'm afraid that your child will borrow it from me, and I am afraid that there will be another catastrophe in heaven and earth in the near future, and I need the strength of this child to stop this catastrophe."

The two didn't seem to understand what Nuwa meant, they looked at each other, and Nuwa continued: "Although you no longer practice, you should also understand the way of heaven, everything in the world complements each other, and this catastrophe in the world will definitely happen, and then the world will be ruined, and it is your son who can stop this catastrophe." ”

Li Yan's parents naturally know the seriousness of this, although they no longer have dealings with the world, and those people in the world may not even know about their existence, but after all, they are born from the same root as the world, so naturally they can't ignore it, and there is also Nuwa's personal instructions, so they have to agree.

It's just that after all, they have just become parents, and they are still immersed in joy, and if they let their son leave at this time, they will definitely be reluctant to give up.

Although he felt a little sad in his heart, Li Yan's father still asked: "I don't know what Niangniang's plan is, when will I take this child away!" ”

Nuwa understood what he meant and said, "Don't be in a hurry at the moment, someone will come to take this child when he is sensible, but don't worry, the child will come back from time to time during his cultivation." ”

The uneasy heart of Li Yan's parents was let go, and Nuwa said that the child did not have a name yet, so she named him Li Yan, and Li Yan's parents were very happy and hurriedly thanked Nuwa.

When Nuwa was about to leave, she asked what was on the table, and Li Yan's father replied that he didn't know what the name of the leaves he had taken from a grass tree in the back mountain at that time, but when he soaked in the water, he would emit a burst of fragrance, and after drinking the soaked water, he would feel a lot more energetic in his brain.

Li Yi and Li Yan are in a similar situation, and it is also the name given by Nuwa, saying that she wants to borrow his strength. The two have been practicing martial arts together since they were sensible, and this is the first time they have come to the world, naturally not to play, but to go to the world to practice.

It was their first task to go up to the hut to listen to the old man's story, and it was also what their master told them, saying that there would be a reward! After Li Yan finished worshipping, he got up and looked around, at this moment the sun had completely set on the mountain, and the sky was rapidly darkening.

There was only one old man left in the main hall who was watching the temple, he should have been very old, wearing a shabby gray robe, hunched over, holding a half-half broom in his hand, and staggering to sweep the dust on the ground.

When he walked to the two of them, he could see more clearly that his hair was gray and his face was full of wrinkles, and when he had finished sweeping it, the old man went to fetch a stool, and put it on the side of the door and stood on it, lighting the lantern on the door.

His thin body seemed to be blown down by the mountain wind at any time, and when the lantern was on, there began to be a swaying shadow in the courtyard, and the old man closed the door after doing all this, walked to the statue of Nuwa, knelt down and bowed, and then walked straight to the back room. The old man naturally couldn't see Li Yi and the two of them when he was doing all this.

After the old man left, the two appeared. The hall was already very dark, only the two candles in front of the statue of Nuwa emitted a faint light, and this light contrasted the things behind the statue even darker, and it was completely invisible.

After making sure that the old man couldn't hear them, Li Yan said: "I think the master is lying to us, saying that if you find the old man, there will be some great gains, but that's it, we have been sitting there for most of the day, but in the end we only got things that have little to do with us, it is better to go shopping and experience the fun of the world!" ”

Although Li Yi didn't agree with Li Yan's statement that the master was lying to them, he also felt that what Li Yan said had a certain amount of truth, and through the old man, they knew some groundbreaking details, and also learned some things about the spirit.

It's just that these understandings are far from enough for them, and I don't know if the old man knows so much or refuses to say it, and this trip to the hut has hardly played any role for them.

Li Yi took the burden from behind his back, opened it carefully, and a mirror-like thing was revealed, it was about a foot square, and from the front it was a bronze mirror, with a smooth surface.

Li Yi picked it up, and his face was clearly reflected in the mirror. The back of the thing was a hemispherical stone, jet-black, and it was hard to see that it was densely covered with small holes if you didn't look closely.

Li Yan touched the surface of the thing with his hand, and the water surface of the thing, which was like being broken by stones, also generated many ripples.

Li Yan smiled and said: "This purple glass is a good thing, no matter how far away it is, it can communicate at any time, but it's a pity that it is not a wishful thing, it is still so heavy, it is really tiring to carry it all day long." ”

Li Yi didn't say anything, and began to quickly swipe on the purple glass with his hand, Li Yi didn't have anything in his hand, every time his fingers swiped it, the same traces were clearly generated on the surface of the purple glass, and when Li Yi was full, the previous words began to slowly fade, and then disappeared.

Li Yan knew that this was Li Yi explaining the situation to the master, and he was also asking for instructions on the next step.

This purple glass was originally a stone when the heaven and earth were not completed, when Pangu swung the axe to split the sky, this stone was just injured by the blade qi of the open heaven axe, and since then it has been divided into two, the purple glass was originally integrated, and the body was the same as the state before the division of heaven and earth, chaos.

Now that the coincidence was cut by the sharp blade of the Open Heaven Axe, although it was divided into two parts, it was not as clearly divided as the yin and yang of heaven and earth, and the chaotic qi was still mixed together.

That is to say, the form of the stone is divided into two halves, but the chaotic qi of itself still complements each other, as long as half of what happens to the other half is manifested in the same way.

It was also due to a coincidence that Zili was obtained by the master of the two, so it was named Zili. Although cultivators can soar through the clouds and fog for thousands of miles, in the final analysis, they are only very fast, and if the distance is long, they will not be able to arrive in time.

At this time, the characteristics of purple glass were revealed, so it played a vital role in the war against demons and monsters, and was one of the most important magic weapons of Master Li Yan.

After Li Yi explained everything, he began to sit on the futon and wait for the master's response, Li Yan also sat down and said, "Do you think we can complete the task this time?"

Li Yi shook his head and said, "I don't know, but since Master let us come to the world according to Nuwa Niangniang's instructions, it naturally has a deep meaning, and we just need to do our part." ”

Li Yan snorted and said, "That's right, it's a pity that today's time is wasted, we must have a good look tomorrow." ”

As soon as his words landed, Zili moved, and the two of them saw that there were only four words on it, "let it be". Li Yan smiled a little helplessly and said that this must be the master's laziness, which is what he has always done.

At this time, the two of them were sitting on the futon, with their backs to the statue of Nuwa, and under the statue was a yellow cloth, one end of the cloth touched the ground, just enough to enclose the bottom tightly, but they didn't know that the back of the cloth was empty, and there happened to be a young man hidden inside, he was about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing an already rotten dress, unkempt.

Originally, he was sleeping here, and when he woke up, he happened to see Li Yi take out the purple glass to use, so he didn't dare to move, where was the nest trembling all over, and thought that Li Yan and the two of them were monsters.

Originally, it was impossible for Li Yan and the two of them to cultivate without knowing that there was another person under the statue, first, they were happy to see the statue of Nuwa Niangniang, and secondly, it was also the will of heaven that they should have met.

The two of them still didn't notice the child's presence at the moment, and they still talked about this mission.

Li Yan said: "Nuwa Niangniang said that there must be a spirit born to harm the world, and said that the two of us were born for this, this time let us come out to experience the experience first, but first, we don't know what the spirit is like, and secondly, there is no specific location for them, which is very difficult to do, and the old man in the hut doesn't say everything, what do you say we should do tomorrow." ”

He looked at Li Yi very seriously, as if he could get the answer from Li Yi's face, Li Yi couldn't help but smile when he looked at him: "What can I do, I"

Before Li Yi finished speaking, the young man who was hiding under the statue rushed out, saying that the gods help, the two reacted quickly and stood up in an instant, and at the same time, the two of them had two more weapons in their hands, Li Yi held a short sword in his hand, and Li Yan had a long stick in his hand.

The two looked at the young man vigilantly, and when they saw that he was a mortal, they put away their weapons. The series of actions from standing up to appearing the weapon and putting away the weapon was only a momentary thing, and the young man didn't notice it at all.

The young man was about to kneel down, Li Yan instantly moved to his side, stretched out his hand to support him, and said with a smile: "Although we are tens of thousands of years older than you, but seeing that we are the same age, don't kneel for people with the same appearance, we can't afford it." ”

The young man didn't understand how Li Yan came over to help him, the expression on his face was obviously panicked, and then it turned into joy, and he couldn't help but kneel down and shout for help.

Li Yan grabbed him again, put his hands around his shoulders to straighten him, and then patted his clothes and said: "It's not that you can't kneel, you can tell us if you have any questions, although we are not the immortals in your mouth, but we do good deeds like the gods, but you can't kneel anymore, or we will leave." ”

Li Yi also walked up to him and said, "If you have anything to say, we will try our best to help you." ”

The young man seemed extremely excited, and his words were not good, "I?? My name is Wang Ming, and I live fifty miles west of here, and I have been waiting for you here for a long time."

Li Yan and Li Yi began to get confused, listening to Wang Ming's words, it seemed that they wanted to know that they were coming, but both of them came out for the first time, and it was the first day they came here, why did he say how much he had waited. Just when the two were puzzled, Wang Ming took out a piece of cloth from his body and handed it to the two.

Li Yi took the cloth and opened it, and wrote two lines on it: Follow the young man to make his wishes come true, and Lao Rui will do his best. The two of them looked at it and knew that it was left by the old man in the thatched hut, Li Yan couldn't help but say, "This old man can't say anything to his face, but he wants to make it so mysterious." ”
