Chapter 20 The Bronze Bell is a Dream for the Eternal
Gou Haodong put the things he bought into his backpack and continued to see if he could buy the right things for his eyes, sometimes he didn't want to make anything, just to have fun.
It was getting late, the setting sun was dyeing this quaint street pale gold, the merchants were closed, and the vendors were ready to leave.
"Young man, I haven't left yet." The old man who sold pens saw Gou Haodong, who was still wandering, and kindly reminded: "Young man, it's dark, let's go!" ”
"Why, can't you do business when it's dark?"
"Come here, I'll tell you." The old man looked around, beckoned Gou Haodong to his side, and said mysteriously: "Young man, you are a person who lives nearby, right?" ”
"That's right, my home is on Shanzhou Road." Gou Haodong scratched his head.
"Do you know what this place used to be?" The old man wondered why such an old child didn't know about the strange things in his hometown.
Gou Haodong nodded, "It used to be a shopping mall, but whoever came to do business was yellow, and then I asked someone to take a look at it and changed it to an antique street." ”
The old man continued to ask, "Then do you know why?" ”
"I don't know." Gou Haodong shook his head.
The old man pulled Gou Haodong's sleeve and walked through the alley to a river. "This used to be our moat, you see there, there is a stone out of the platform, it turned out that there was a Gu Ding suppression, a few years ago, somehow, suddenly gone, at night there are children crying, dare to stay either dementia, or disappear!"
"Why don't I know, if the people are gone, they will definitely report it!" Gou Haodong was taken aback, but he was skeptical.
"There are many things in this world that you don't know, if you believe me, you can go, I earned your money today, it is necessary to tell you, and when it gets completely dark, it will be dangerous." The old man warned Gou Haodong very seriously.
Gou Haodong nodded, it may be something related to the cultivation realm. I don't have much combat power now, and if I encounter an emergency, the expedition will be given away in vain. He was a kind man, said hello to the uncle, and went home.
At this time, in the deepest store of the antique street, a bitter voice sounded: "This taste, it is the descendant of Qingyunzi, I miss it so much, when I can go out, but I have to taste it!" The scarlet tongue slowly licked at her lips.
Gou Haodong returned home, opened his schoolbag and took out today's results, hung the brush on the pen holder, and began to slowly study the copper bell that could see the white light with the Wangqi technique.
The copper bell was only the size of a palm, and it was engraved with a seal script, and before Gou Haodong could take a closer look, a force pulled him into the darkness.
Gou Haodong felt that he was constantly falling, and the strong feeling of weightlessness made him a little nauseous. And it was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
I don't know how long I fell, I fell heavily to the ground, and bounced up, and my muscles and bones seemed to be shattered. It hurts, but I can't make any sound. Consciousness is getting blurred, am I going to die?
Slowly, he felt himself rejuvenated, and the damaged parts of his body were crispy and itchy, and he was recovering. Gou Haodong struggled to get up, saw that there seemed to be light in the distance, and walked towards the light. But the light was too far away, and it was only magnified a little after walking for so long, and there was endless darkness behind it.
I have to get there or I'll die. Gou Haodong gritted his teeth and walked forward, his fists clenched, his nails embedded in the flesh, which made him sober up a little.
For a long time, the shoes he walked on were worn out, and the soles of his feet were exposed and rubbed on the stones. Beads of sweat rolled down and hit the ground. He walked on like a walking corpse.
The light in front of me magnified little by little, until it was full of white light, and nothing could be seen.
Hold on a little longer...... Gou Haodong stretched out his hand and trembled to touch the white light, and suddenly his feet seemed to be tripped over something, Gou Haodong fell out, unconscious again.
It seemed that someone was scrubbing his face, Gou Haodong slowly opened his eyes, but his first reaction was hunger.
"Hey, you're awake! Grandfather! Big brother wakes up! A little girl in a green shirt threw down the towel in her hand and jumped out.
After a while, an old Taoist priest with good spirits came from outside the door. Fortunately, he was not wearing a red sweater, and Gou Haodong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Little friend, what is a sweater?" The old Taoist priest asked with a smile on his beard.
Mind reading? What time is it? Who's this?
"Mind reading? It's concise and to the point, this is a spell created by the old man, which is worthy of people's hearts. As for when, Zhou, it's just that the Son of Heaven is not the master. You can call the old man Yingzi. ”
Oh my God, I've traveled to the pre-Qin period. How can this man be so strong!
"What is crossing? When was the pre-Qin period? For thousands of years, Xiaoyou is the only one who has entered my copper bell realm. When you meet, you can choose any skill and learn from my strengths. The old Taoist priest swept away the dust, and Gou Haodong felt that he had recovered immediately.
He hurriedly got up, bowed and bowed.
"What do you want?"
"The art of self-preservation."
"Escape? Oh, so you want to kill. The old man nodded, "I like your way of speaking very much, it's simple and easy to understand." ”
This is to learn the vernacular? It seems true that the powerful monk in the novel learns things quickly.
"Xiaoyou is interesting, I said a lot of things I haven't heard of, if I hadn't died, I must have a drink with Xiaoyou."
"What are you? I can't see it! "How can the living person in front of him be dead.
"It's just a wisp of remnant soul, no need to mention it. I'll teach you the art of attacking, you will release your spiritual power, and I will see what kind of you are suitable for. ”
"I can't let it go."
"You can just set foot on the path of cultivating the truth, why do you say that you can't do it?" The curiosity on Lao Dao's face was even stronger, "Can Xiaoyou let go of his mind and let the old man take a look?" ”
Gou Haodong hesitated, what if he took away?
"Don't worry, Xiaoyou, after the old man teaches you the technique, it will disappear, and what you think about does not exist. Passing on your spells is just for one thing, my granddaughter's soul is not lacking, and I am sealed in the copper bell, hoping that one day someone can inherit my spells and take her soul out together. ”
"The predecessors are so strong, why are they here."
"Don't mention the miscellaneous things left over from the past. Little friend, can I watch you go by? ”
"Senior, please." Gou Haodong has a heart, even if he has malice towards himself, he can't get out. It's good to just be a favor, maybe there will be benefits.
"Xiaoyou is such a wonderful person haha." The old man laughed.
Embarrassed, I forgot that my predecessors knew how to read minds.
The old Taoist priest closed his eyes and pinched the recipe with both hands, and there were words in his mouth.
Gou Haodong felt that the things he had been doing since his birth were quickly passing through his mind, including wetting the bed by himself, writing love letters to girls and being rejected, the more embarrassing things were, the clearer they were, and finally fixed on the moment before he entered the copper bell.
"I see!" The old Taoist priest sighed, "The little friend has been interesting for more than ten years, and it has been better than the old man for a thousand years." Xiaoyou also has great luck. Time flies, and the world is like this. It's a pity that the old man didn't see this life. ”
Millennium? Is it antiquity? Gou Haodong was about to open his mouth to ask, but Lao Dao shook his head and said nothing.
