Chapter 68: The Contest
Chang Butong turned around from time to time to urge us: "It's almost there, hold on." ”
When I looked up, there was a faint stone house in front of me, all made of mountain stones, and even the door was made of two large stone slabs, and only a sloping stone tablet stood in the center of the stone gate in front of the stone gate. When I walked in, there were three words engraved on it with a small seal, and I could probably recognize it as "Stone Temple".
It turned out to be a temple, which really surprised me. I saw that the height of the whole temple is also about two meters, into a half-moon shape, the second half is embedded in the mountain, if the stone tablet is higher, it is like a lonely tomb.
Unconsciously, I found that my body was stained with a lot of insects and ants, one by one lazily lying on my stomach, I dusted it with my hand, and fell a piece, struggling neither dead nor alive. Runko too, dusting hard like me, swearing in her mouth. But Chang Butong's body is clean, and I don't know what method is used.
At this time, I felt that there was something strange around me, in addition to the three of us, there was also a person in the stone door, a fierce aura that was completely different from the surrounding environment, and I couldn't tell whether it was friend or foe. Compared to my ability, Chang Butong must have noticed it before me, but he didn't show the slightest lack of composure, so I could only wait and see.
Chang Butong turned back to Runzi and said, "Runzi, come here...... See if you can straighten the stele. ”
"Okay!" As soon as the words fell, Runzi walked to the stele, grasped the angle, and pulled it with his hand, but the stele did not move at all.
I thought to myself, is the stele a mechanism for entering the temple, but with the power of Runzi, it will not be immovable, unless there is some way here that I have not mastered.
Chang Butong said again: "If you can't pull it, forget it, let the old man come!" ”
"Hmph, who said I couldn't pull it, it was just a test just now, look at it!" Then, Runzi spit two mouthfuls of saliva into the palm of his hand, knelt down on one knee, and the green tendons of his two arms burst out, like two iron snakes wrapped around the stone tablet, and drank vigorously, and the whole stone tablet was slowly pulled out of the soil by him, and the soil under the stone tablet gradually rose and piled up in a circle.
"Stop, stop, stop......" Chang Butong immediately stepped forward to stop him, and said: "Good boy, at a young age, you have such strength, it is indeed a material that can be made, and this time I didn't mistake you." ”
Runzi wiped the white sweat on her face, and said triumphantly: "How about it, what's so difficult about straightening the stele, if I can, I can pull it out." ”
"If you pull it all out, we really won't be able to get in." After speaking, Chang Butong touched the top of the stone stele, stretched out two fingers and pressed it at the same time, a small piece of inconspicuous concave stone was pressed, and the stone door slowly opened, and a bald man in short-sleeved linen pants walked out of the gloomy stone gate.
The strong man arched his fists with both hands and said to Chang Butong: "Mr. Chang, don't come to harm...... I've been waiting for a long time......"
"Haha, the old man knows it's you, come on, come on, I'll introduce you, this is the Long Yiming mentioned by the old man, the dragon senior."
Junko and I said in unison: "Dragon senior!" ”
Long Yiming's height is only about one hundred and sixty centimeters, but he is burly, with thick limbs, thin sea cucumber eyebrows and thin lips, and his face is full of oil, and he looks like he is in his early thirties.
Long Yiming pointed at me and said, "This is your apprentice?" ”
"Yes, Xiong Layue."
Long Yiming pointed at Runzi and asked, "Oh...... can be safe and sound, it is the material for your apprentice. So who is this? ”
Runzi took over with a smile: "I'm Du Run, my father is Du Feng, this time I'm mainly here to learn from the dragon seniors." ”
"The attitude is good, but it's not enough, you must know that the people who can come here are not ordinary people, I don't know what you can do?" Long Yiming asked proudly.
"I ...... I have great strength, and you see, I pulled up this stone tablet. Junko pointed to the stone tablet beside her.
"Hmph, what's this, it's not worth mentioning." Long Yiming pretended to ignore it and made a gesture to leave.
When Runzi saw that he was leaving, he stirred up the method: "You can do it, then you teach me!" ”
"Why should I teach you, I don't know you." Long Yiming put his hands behind his back and twisted his face to ignore it.
Chang Butong started a round: "Brother Long, this baby has some potential, and if it is cultivated in the future, it will still have something to do." ”
"Bang", before we could react, Long Yiming pressed the stele with one hand, and the stele obediently inserted into the soil, restoring its original position, very easily. He didn't care about our reaction, turned around and said, "Since Mr. Chang speaks, I will sell you face, as long as this kid can push me one step, I will take him as an apprentice." ”
Junko was surprised by his actions, and seemed to have underestimated the ability of the person in front of her, and then smiled again and asked, "What do you say?" ”
"Of course it counts, I, Long Yiming, have never lied in the past sixty years." Long Yiming cocked his thumb and pouted his lips.
As soon as these words came out, it took me a long time to react and asked, "Senior Long, you are so old, and you are really well maintained." ”
Long Yiming was obviously very happy that someone praised him like this, and said with a smile: "Haha, your kid's eyesight is good, or thanks to Jin Ling's Baoyan Pill, your master doesn't want to love face, and fools don't need it!" ”
"The old man doesn't have to make sense, there are too many sequelae of Baoyan Dan, I'm afraid that the gains outweigh the losses." Chang Butong explained.
"As long as you are reasonable, don't listen to him, I will let her pick it up for you in the future." Long Yiming touched his face, very satisfied with his smooth skin.
Runko's mind was not here, and she asked anxiously, "Can you start, I'm ready." ”
Chang Butong and I retreated to the side together, and Long Yiming was leisurely and said, "Come on!" ”
"Ah......h After a while, his two feet seemed to sink into the sand and plunge straight into the soil, which showed that Runko was so strong, but Long Yiming didn't take it seriously at all, squinting his eyes and smiling instead of smiling.
I've never seen Runzi use so much force, and I'm really afraid that he will hurt myself, so I whispered to Chang Butong: "Master, you help Runzi, I'm afraid he will be hurt." ”
Chang Butong looked at me, then at them, smiled, and replied, "Come on, you let Runzi hold on for another minute, whether you can survive depends on his ability." ”
"Okay," I immediately shouted to Junko, "Runko, hold on for another minute, you don't want to be looked down upon by him, come on!" ”
When Junko heard my words, she closed her eyes that were open like copper bells, raised her heels slightly, and squeezed out a little more strength, and the roots of her teeth grinded to a "gurgling" sound, and in a trance, I felt a heat on Runko's body. And Long Yiming's body gradually turned from straight to curved, his expression began to change, and the skin and flesh on his face trembled slightly.
