Chapter 119: Gains and Losses

This is just the beginning of the test.

"So, I'm not going to stop here."

Bai Shuo muttered to himself, his trembling body took another step, and a shattered figure came from his body, which was a crack on the techniqueβ€”the power from the Demon Dao Book version of the "Buddha Says Lux Moving Mountains Sutra" was solidified in the body through the technique and scriptures. And at this moment, an extremely small crack appeared in the invisible technique in the body, as well as on the scriptures engraved on the skin.

Under the influence of the surrounding forces, the power of the three-star peak seemed so fragile.

Every time he took a step forward, in the midst of trembling, a crack appeared in the technique in Bai Shuo's body.

And at the same time as the technique collapsed, the resistance that Bai Shuo felt also dissipated slightly, and the resistance that purely repelled the alien power was not aimed at Bai Shuo itself.

It's like a madman who drinks dove wine to quench his thirst, and uses the shattering of the magic method to gain the strength to move forward, and the price of this sense of ease is the collapse of the magic in the body.

It can be expected that the further Bai Shuo goes, the more completely the techniques in his body will collapse, until finally, in addition to the most basic physical qualities, Vajra, immovable, and mighty divine powers...... All the methods obtained through the techniques of the Buddha Saying Lux Moving Mountains Sutra will all collapse.

If you want to get something, you have to give something first.

That breath told him: Prove your sincerity to me.

Bai Shuo's sweat-stained face chuckled, and instead of being troubled by the collapse of the technique, he took another step, and the inscription of the scriptures was slowly fading with unbearable pain on his sweaty skin.

The structure that made up the technique cracked in Bai Shuo's advance, and it continued to collapse, leaving only the remaining bit of essence after thousands of tempers to precipitate in his body.

Whether it was good or bad, Bai Shuo couldn't tell, but he believed in his choice, and he could feel that with the collapse of the technique, the most primordial power was finally revealed.

The technique is just a method of using strength, even if it is broken thousands of times, given Bai Shuo time, he can rebuild it, and now what he needs to prove is his potential and will.

Just like the severe pain caused by the collapse of the muscles and veins of a martial artist who are stored and torn apart and solidified in the body will make the mentally fragile person faint, go into shock, and even die of life and death.

Come into my door, and live or die without complaining.

If Bai Shuo wants to step through that door, he must endure the pain of a thousand cuts and take the risk of death.

Ten steps, 100 steps, 1000 steps......

As the technique collapsed, severe pain and weakness that had not been felt for a long time spread through Bai Shuo's body, and every muscle trembled.

Stepping on the white stone slab, Bai Shuo's feet left sweat-stained footprints.

The endless stone staircase path continued to torment his nerves, how much had he advanced? Almost there? Halfway? Or a third?

The will became more and more blurred, Bai Shuo staggered forward, until the end, his brain was already chaotic, the sound of heartbeat continued to ring in his ears like thunder, and his numb body was still moving forward under the control of the last will.

Until the stone steps have twisted an arc again.

The closed wooden door finally appeared in front of him.

At this time, only the most blurry colors remained in his eyes, reminding him of the scene after his blindness: a chaos of black and gray.

There was no time to pay attention to other places, Bai Shuo supported his body and did not lie on the ground, staggered down on the door, his trembling and spasmodic arms raised crookedly, and grabbed two or three times before grabbing the black knocker.

With the last of his strength, the copper ring and the door panel collided, and a small sound rang out.

Empty and muffled.

Then, there was no sound, as if it was a dead silence, as if abandoned by the whole world.

Bai Shuo bent over, sticky saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth, and he felt the dizziness in his brain almost make him die.

It was as if he was crazy, and he still had a smile on his face, and that crazy smile expanded, like the madness and determination of a desperate bet.

He raised his head, stirring his stinging guts, and roared hoarsely, making a twisted sound that could no longer control his pitch.

"My name is Bai Shuo!"

"I'm from Dongsheng Shenzhou!"

"I've come up! This is my sincerity! ”

There seemed to be a sigh in the void, and a moment later, Bai Shuo heard footsteps in the distance.

Lying on the door panel, Bai Shuo gasped and laughed silently.

The footsteps slowly entered, and as the door panel opened, Bai Shuo's body fell into the space behind the door, but it was supported by a palm.

The handsome young man in Taoist costume held a large bowl filled with water in his left hand, and with the other hand, he lifted Bai Shuo's body up and leaned against the wall. According to the instructions of the master, he took out a small bottle and poured all the dew in the bottle into Bai Shuo's throat.

It was as if the land that had dried up to the extreme had gained the dew that had been lost for a long time, and Bai Shuo's physical condition, which had been extremely bad, was pulled back again.

After putting away the vial in his hand, the young man put Bai Shuo's body on the ground, sat cross-legged on the other side, waiting for Bai Shuo to wake up, and always held the sea bowl full of water in his hand, and sometimes glanced at the bowl with some doubts, quietly waiting for Bai Shuo to wake up......

--

It's been a long dream, but there is no impression, it's like just closing your eyes and then opening them again, the pain in your body disappears without a trace, and the technique originally built in your body has no trace of existence.

With the beating of the heartbeat, the power lurking in the blood and muscles also rippled, far purer than before. It's like after tempering, all the castes have been removed, and only the most original life force is left, and his physical quality is still stuck at the three-star level, but Bai Shuo understands that the huge power that is enough to make him the best among the four-star stars has disappeared.

Having lost the means to use his strength, Bai Shuo sighed a little disappointed and opened his eyes.

"Are you awake?" The young man's voice came from beside him, and the young man, who had never been tired of it, looked at Bai Shuo's eyes, calm and calm.

"How long did I sleep?" Bai Shuo sat up from the ground, looked at the young man and asked, "What do you call it?" ”

"Two hours, and one hour later is dinner time." The young man said unhurriedly: "The name is not enough to worry about, I was ordered to wait here for you to wake up." ”

Bai Shuo twisted his neck a little uncomfortably and asked, "Then what?" ”

"I'll leave this to you." The young man in Taoist costume handed the sea bowl in his hand to Bai Shuo, and he was calm and stable, without any trembling, and not a drop of water splashed out of it.

"What is this?" Bai Shuo took the white porcelain bowl and looked at it, in the bowl of pure water, there was a small black creature swinging its slender tail and swimming.

"Tadpoles?"

"Yes, tadpoles." The boy nodded and said, "Come with me." ”

Immediately afterwards, Bai Shuo stepped into the gate with a bowl, and was greeted by a small pond, a pool of clear water against the rockery, lotus leaves swaying, gusts of wind blowing, wrapped in just the right amount of water vapor, refreshing people's hearts.

"This is it." The young man stood next to the pond: "Your intention, the master already knows, and orders me to give this to you." ”

"What do you mean?" Bai Shuo held the bowl in his hand, looked up at the pond with the sound of frogs, and had a vague premonition in his heart.

The master said that there were two hundred and sixteen frogs in the pond and one tadpole in the bowl. Until tomorrow before dawn, if you can help the tadpole in the bowl find a blood relative, then you can go to see him, and if you can't, go down the mountain as soon as possible. ”

After the young man finished saying this, he no longer paid attention to Bai Shuo, turned around and disappeared into Bai Shuo's eyes.

Only Bai Shuo was left stunned to look at the tadpoles swimming lightly in the bowl, and there were bursts of frog chirping in his ears, which made his heart sink to the bottom.

"Little tadpole looking for mother?" Bai Shuo looked at his reflection projected in the bowl, and laughed a little helplessly: "This is okay?" ”

――――――

Little tadpoles looking for their mothers, this, can have.

Tomorrow is on the shelves, I don't know what the results will be?
