Chapter 13, the Stone of Heaven
In the dark, after a long time.
Someone sighed vaguely, and then the oil lamp in the house was lit again. Zheng Ergou stood beside the bed and said helplessly, "Miss, it's been more than a quarter of an hour, why haven't you slept yet?"
He Yue on the bed turned over, and said sadly and helplessly, "Zheng Ming, I don't know why, I can't sleep..."
Zheng Ergou, who was standing on the edge of the bed and holding a small bottle in his hand, burst out laughing. looked at the bed and bent down to help He Yue cover the quilt. "So, would you like to hear a story?"
He Yue closed her eyes, "You can try it." ”
"Just talk about our dungeon, how about it? You definitely don't know, the mending stone that Qiao Gongzi gave you in your hand is actually from our dream clan's dungeon. ”
He extinguished the oil lamp again and said in a soft tone. Then He Yue's surprised voice sounded, "How is it possible?
He Yue's interjection at this time made him feel very helpless, "Hey, Miss, you sleep well, listen to me!"
"Oh, oh. He Yue stopped talking and listened quietly.
"Qiao Gongzi doesn't know us, but has an intersection with Master Sen Dao. A long time ago, when Master Sen Dao had not yet come to Blackwater City, he had stayed in the Dream Clan's dungeon for a while. Sen Qian is his eldest brother, and the age difference between the two is nearly 100 years.
"That guy has only told me a few things, so I don't know much about it. It is said that this sacred stone fell a long time ago, when it rained in the underground palace.
"You must wonder, how can it rain underground? It's a rare spectacle in our dungeon for decades. Everyone calls it the rain. Before the rain occurs, the upper foundations of the dungeon will be shaken.
"At that time, the scope of the rain was very large, nearly half of the underground palace, fully two-thirds of the Qinshan Kingdom, and the foundations above it were violently shaken. Most of the cultivators are all over the ground, and we have divided the whole place into several states. Almost all states have organized large-scale dream-making rituals.
"They use the way of divine consciousness to reduce the damage to the body caused by the shock. Everyone entered a man-made dream, seeking joy and singing night after night, until the whole rain was over, and then they woke up from the dream.
"But some, a few. They have no cultivation, their own divine consciousness is weak, they can't withstand the pull of their divine consciousness entering the dream realm, and they can't participate in this carnival of nothingness with everyone. I can only lock myself in my home to avoid the fall of the huge rain.
"As far as I know, when the rain officially starts, it is almost the same as the rain outside. However, the rain that falls is all some underground materials, most of which are fused with ground grass and rich minerals, and they have a good aura. In fact, if you can make proper use of it and collect it before the rain falls, you can even extract spirit stone resources from it, which are the treasures I showed you that day.
"But that's not realistic. Because the area of ground rain has always been wide, the lethality is far greater than the benefits that can be obtained. And after falling to the underground foundation, the aura will be absorbed quickly. So the basic way to avoid it is to dream, to dream. And the mortal who is weak can only pray for good luck. Hundreds of dead and injured are killed and injured after every rain. But after all, many people don't touch it once in their lives, so we don't pay much attention to it.
"But it was during that rain that there was a person who had not yet cultivated. He volunteered to stay outside. This person is Sen Dao. He was just a mortal at the time, but when the rain and storm gathered, he did not hide at home, but walked out into the street. Sen Qian said that he felt this scene in a dream, and at that time he only thought that his stupid brother was looking for death.
But the most amazing thing is that he was unscathed, after Sen Qian sensed him in his dream, he saw him swallowed up by the rain, but he didn't sense the dissipation of his spirit. Even if Sen Qian knew that Sen Dao was not dead, he would never believe that Sen Dao could escape unscathed. Moreover, after the cultivators came out of the dream realm, they all found that they sensed a powerful power generated in the outside world in the dream realm.
"After that rain, Mori Dao disappeared from the dungeon. As his only relative in the dungeon, Sen Qian only gave up after looking for it for a short time. But in the treasure house of the most prosperous palace in the underground palace, there is an extra treasure, which is the relic of this Tiantian Divine Stone.
"Everyone found a lot of magic from it, and unanimously believed that this was a relic of the ancient five-colored mending stone. And it was later discovered that there were traces of that rain on it. It can be determined that it appeared in the underground palace with the earth rain.
Soon after, several advanced monks, including Sen Qian, confirmed that this thing was received by Sen Qian's missing brother Sen Dao in the rain and sent to the treasure house by fusing the images of their own sensed divine memories. It is believed that this is a wonderful artifact, and its status in the treasury is getting higher and higher. As for Sen Dao, no one sensed any signs of his whereabouts. Over time, he was also forgotten.
But one night more than ten years later, the relics of the Heaven Replenishing Stone suddenly disappeared. There is no emperor in the Dream Clan's underground palace, and everyone lives together, like a tribe in the ancient period, with only a few nominal leaders. But this time, almost all states have banded together and decided to get the baby back. But a year has passed, and the entire underground palace has been searched almost everywhere, but there is no result. Everyone is disgusted and afraid of the outside world, and few people dare to go out and search. So... Over time, the matter became a mystery.
"But Sen Qian told me before that he had a premonition that Sen Dao had come back and took it with him, and it was actually his own. Many years later, more than ten years ago, he learned that Sen Dao had appeared in Blackwater City. And it wasn't until the last month or so that I discovered that this Heavenly Replenishing Divine Stone actually appeared in Qiao's Mansion, and then in your hands, Miss......"
Zheng Ergou coughed lightly and slowly approached Heyue, his eyes still without visual impairment in the dark. It was clear that the eldest lady seemed to have been asleep for a long time, and a pair of eyebrows swayed slightly with steady breathing. He laughed, am I telling stories so hypnotic...
Zheng Ergou slowly opened the vial in his hand, dropped two drops on the sides of his nose, took off his clothes, raised his arms, and sat on the chair. A faint light surrounded him, and Zheng Ergou's armpits gradually emitted a strange fragrance. Soon he pouted and fell asleep.
......
noon
On the edge of the woods not far from the Silver Creek Bridge, He Yue sat cross-legged on the ground. Zheng Ergou also sat cross-legged behind her. Upon closer inspection, there was a blue light connection between the two.
"Let the aura circulate a few more times in the next plate!" Zheng Ergou instructed. This time, Heyue's breath must be strong, even beyond the body's tolerance range, in order to achieve a breakthrough in a short period of time.
In the practice of the dream clan, there are more acupuncture points in the lower plate to control the dream. Because what He Yue learned from the beginning was the secret method of the Dream Clan, Zheng Ergou wanted her to arouse the resonance of the acupoints by activating these acupuncture points, so as to send the absorbed heaven and earth aura to the dantian evenly and to complete the real Great Zhou Tian cycle. As long as the dantian is activated, there is hope for a breakthrough from self-cultivation.
"Zheng Ming! pain..."He Yue, who was sitting in front of Zheng Ergou, had her delicate facial features almost distorted. Although it was in a dream, the pain was unabated. She had never tried such a quick and large spin before. A large amount of heaven and earth aura that entered the body through Zheng Ming's help was forcibly pressed into the lower plate by himself for circulation. These acupuncture points, which are usually not very active, are placed there, and the continuous impact causes severe pain.
"Bear with me!" Zheng Ming was very unbearable when he heard this, but he could only silently increase his help. The blue light became more obvious, and he continued to transmit the aura used by the imperial body to the acupuncture points on her body. Fortunately, He Yue gritted her teeth and persevered for a while. Under his preliminary observation, all the unique acupuncture points in the lower plate have been activated.
"Miss, well done!
Zheng Ergou suddenly raised his head. Because, before he could finish speaking, a stone fell from the tree above his head and fell on his head. He glanced at the trees beside him, and just as he was about to continue his instruction, two larger stones fell. He was a little angry. At the same time, an old voice had just come from the air, and the wind from its sleeve had already drifted across the faces of the two men and fell between them.
"If you want to hurry, you can't get there. Besides, your method is too stupid and too hard, this is my apprentice! Let the old man help!"
"Mori... Why, old man, are you... What are you doing here?"
"Apprentice, you continue to keep your breath on the lower plate, stabilize it, and don't worry about being a teacher. I'll take the time to figure it out. After the rare Sen Qian appeared, after saying this, he picked up Zheng Ergou and threw him aside with a slight flick, and fell not lightly. The blue light dimmed dramatically as Zheng Ergou left. A purple light flashed from the old man's body, and the light was three times brighter than before. He sat down cross-legged, and Zimang entered Heyue's body.
She was unprepared for a moment, and her whole body shook violently. Zheng Ergou got up, patted the dust on his body, glared fiercely at the old man while he didn't look at him, and squatted down to look at He Yue.
This is the second time that Sen Qian has shown his true face in front of He Yue. It's just that this time his face has aged a lot, and he no longer has the same crane hair and childish appearance as before. He Yue felt strange, but he felt normal for the changes in them cultivators.
"Master...""You concentrate on cultivating qi, you don't have to think about anything else. Master is here to help you today, so you can just do what I say. That stupid boy's method is too quick to achieve quick results. ”
“.. Hmm!" He Yue didn't look back at the master he hadn't seen for a long time. Try your best to control the breath in your body at the bottom plate. As the Mori Hidden Spell penetrated deep into his body, the pain gradually disappeared.
She was not surprised that Sen Qian was able to enter the dream realm, but his arrival this time surprised He Yue a little. It turned out that he was here to help him break through. It seems that Sen Qian is very clear about her every move on her side. And Heyue did not worry about this, but felt the love of master and apprentice that she had never felt before. It turns out that she is not a mere registered disciple, but the master is still thinking about her!
"Hmm... I have a general understanding of the teacher. In vain, it is not recommended that you try to break through directly for the time being. ”
Sen Qian's voice came from behind him, He Yue thought that he would provide him with a shortcut to break through self-cultivation, but he didn't expect Sen Qian to let her stop?
"The dantian is still too fragile. Since one month of cultivation, he has been able to cultivate to the fourth level of condensation, and his speed is already very fast. But if you want to pursue a further breakthrough, it will be too fast, so even if you are cultivating the Dream Clan's Dao Method, you can't escape the fact that the Dao foundation is unstable. It will not be easy to cultivate next. But..."
"But what?" He Yue controlled her emotions after hearing this depressing news, and tried her best to keep the aura of the next plate. Hearing something in Sen Qian's words, he immediately asked.
"From the mouth of the second dog, I learned that you have a precious spirit stone on you. If what he told me is accurate, this is the ancient five-color mending stone relic. Since he has recently told you about the affairs of the master and the Dream Clan's underground palace, I will no longer hide it. After all, I took you as an apprentice for the sake of my own mantle inheritance and your future. It has nothing to do with race. We dream people don't like to come out in the world by nature, so you don't have to worry about these things for the time being, or care about the identity of the people around you.
There is no way to know how this Heavenly Replenishing Stone relic was taken out of the underground palace, then to Qiao's Mansion, and finally into your hands. I was saddened by the theft of such treasures. As a result, many years later, it actually appeared in the hands of the old man's apprentice. Ahem..."
"What I want to say is that this divine stone can bring infinite possibilities to your cultivation. The world, with tens of thousands of opportunities, is also as ethereal as smoke. Since it is in your hands, the teacher will take it upon himself to give you the treasure that should belong to the underground palace. Such a great opportunity can make the impossible possible. For example, if you can make good use of the power in the Divine Stone and break through the shackles of self-cultivation, it will be nothing at all. ”
Zheng Ergou on the side could hear it. Since the last meeting in Yinxi, Sen Qian has never forgotten Heyue's five-color mending stone, and said so much nonsense that she can't forcibly break through, and finally doesn't want her to obediently take out the treasure for herself to study?
"I... I understand. It's just that this divine stone seems to contain very powerful abilities, and Zheng Ming and I only use it as a jewel decoration... Moreover, it itself is something in your underground palace, Master, otherwise, let you take it back......" He Yue was very cramped when he faced Sen Qian, and he just wanted to please this rare master, become his real disciple, and cultivate to become a person like Master Sen Dao.
"You're stupid!" Zheng Ergou was anxious. looked at Sen Qian, and almost promised Heyue. After a moment's hesitation, he spoke, "That, Master Sen, I told the eldest lady all the stories you told me about this stone before. You..."
"Don't worry. In vain, there are things that are destined to be given to people who are destined. There is no need to bring it back to the underground palace as a teacher. Moreover, the reappearance of something that has been missing for so long will only break the peace of the underground palace. However, the old man knew a little about the sacred stones that were kept in the rain of this land. The old man came to your dream realm this time to stimulate the power in the Divine Stone, so that it can help you complete the quick cultivation task. ”
"And. Since Ergou has already said about the theft of the Divine Stone back then, you should also know that it has been with my younger brother Sen Dao for so many years. Therefore, my younger brother knows more about this sacred stone than the old man. Not... The old man specially invited him to enter the dream realm with him to help you understand the relics of the Heaven Replenishing Stone. ”
As soon as the words fell, footsteps sounded on the Silver Creek Bridge. Wearing a long-brimmed hat and a robe, Sen Dao walked up to Heyue, smiled kindly at her in surprise, and sat cross-legged beside her. And Sen Qian didn't speak, and continued to maintain the purple light between the two.
"Child, that divine stone was given to them by the old man five years ago when the Qiao family was revived. has been waiting for a destined person. Good words, that child chose you. Today, because of your affairs, our brothers were able to meet and sit here, and there was no big fight. It's amazing, I now kind of admire Qiao Sigongzi's vision. ”
"Hmph..."The forest dive behind let out a cold snort. In Heyue's thoughts, Sen Dao took the five-colored mending stone out of the dungeon and disappeared for a long time, so it caused tension between the brothers. She smiled, not taking it all seriously.
Only Zheng Ergou's eyes were full of consternation. He knew the depth of the hatred between the two brothers. It's definitely not just about mending the sky. It was a thousand-year-old feud between the alien race and the orthodox race in the Long Night City. And in order for He Yue to better understand the Mending Heaven Stone and use it, Sen Qian was actually able to pull down his son and invite Sen Dao, who had just met not long ago. You must know that Sen Qian, this old guy has always had a strong and obedient temper, and this time he actually took the initiative to invite Sen Dao.... Oh my God, it's really the sun coming out in the west.
Or does your eldest lady really have a card?
"Child, let the old man see how it has been in the past five years. Sen Dao's voice was older than Sen Qian's, and it sounded slowly. Zheng Ergou immediately ran to her, "She is accumulating gas, and it is inconvenient to move." The younger generation will find it for her. ”
As he spoke, he smiled at He Yue, "Miss, offended...". Zheng Ergou's hand reached into her belly pocket. What he didn't expect was that when he touched it, there was nothing in it? He glanced at the eldest lady suspiciously, there was no other place to hold things in this outfit......
