Chapter 576: The Secret of the Divine Stone
There is a line of words on the tombstone: "Empty tomb, those who are destined to live there-"
Wushuang blinked: "What do you mean?" Ask someone to live in the grave? Such an unfortunate thing, it depends on fate? ”
I scratched my head, "It's weird. ”
The two of us walked around the grave and found nothing special. Just as I was about to leave. Suddenly, I heard an old voice calling out, "Stay, two." ”
Wushuang and I looked back in confusion. I saw the turtle's head move.
He said slowly, "You two, you can come in with me." ”
I was a little surprised: "The two of us are destined?" ”
The turtle said, "I don't know if you are." However, I'm dying and can't wait for anyone else. ”
Wushuang tugged at me: "Let's go back quickly and call the others over." ”
I nodded: "That makes sense, let's go first." ”
However, the turtle said, "Come in quickly, you two, and there is no delay in this kind of thing." ”
I heard the turtle's tone not very good, and I felt a little unhappy, and I couldn't help but say, "If the two of us don't go in, what can you do?" Wushuang, let's go. ”
However, the two of us had just turned around. Suddenly, a huge suction force came from behind us.
The strength of the two of us is not weak, but in the face of this force, it is simply a game.
In desperation, we had to go to the grave.
The turtle's head slowly shrank in. A round hole in the top of the tomb appeared one man high. It looks like a door.
Wushuang and I walked in slowly.
Then I found a hunchbacked old man standing inside. This old man is exactly the same as the old ancestor we saw in the underworld.
Hunchback raised his face hard, looked at me and Wushuang, and said, "A few days ago, a monk came. I didn't let him in, and in the end, I really had no choice but to let you two go. Although you are young, you are fortunate to have good strength, and I hope you will not disappoint our trust. ”
I asked, "Who are you?" Are you an old ancestor? ”
The hunchback nodded: "Yes, I am the ancestor of the scum." ”
I said, "I saw you in the underworld, and you seem to be controlled by the Divine Stone. What is going on with you now? ”
The hunchback smiled slightly and said, "This little friend, are you doubting my authenticity?" ”
I smiled noncommittally.
Hunchback said: "Actually, in the underworld, it is one of my true bodies, and now I am just a remnant soul. Two days ago, there were some changes in the underworld, my true body couldn't hold on, and my remnant soul should also die. ”
I asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
The hunchback said, "Come with me." ”
Then he led me to a very spacious room. There are three people enshrined in this room. Looking at the appearance, they are the three puppets we see in the underworld.
The hunchback pointed at the three men and said, "They are the first three immortals. Pangu, Nuwa, Fuxi. As you know, I have a long life, so I know these three people. ”
I nodded and said, "All three of them have become puppets of the Divine Stone. ”
The hunchback nodded and sighed: "Yes, they all became puppets of the Divine Stone, and I only found out about it a long time later." I wanted to rescue them, but I didn't expect to end up trapping myself. ”
I listened to the meaning of the hunchback, and seemed to know the inside story very well, so I asked, "Do you know about the divine stone?" ”
Hunchback thought for a moment and said, "Originally, I didn't know. Tens of thousands of years ago, I was just an ordinary turtle, and although I cultivated hard, I was really far behind these three great gods. ”
"One day, these three gods suddenly disappeared en masse. I felt strange at the time, but I didn't have the ability to look for them at the time. It wasn't until thousands of years later that I finally achieved something. So it took hundreds of years to find them, and finally there were some eyebrows. It turned out that they were caught by the Divine Stone and made puppets. ”
I shook my head, "This seems a little different from the legend." It is said that Pangu opened the world and then died. The eyes turned into the sun and the moon, and the hair turned into the mountains and forests......"
Before I finished speaking, the hunchback looked at me with pity: "Young man, I think your strength is not bad, how can you believe these nonsense rumors?" ”
Being hunched back so forcefully whitened, I had to shut up.
The hunchback continued: "After I found the news of the Divine Stone, I have been trying to find it, and I have finally determined that this Divine Stone is at the bottom of a river. I was going straight into the water. But the devil sent God, and I kept an extra eye. I just thought, the three of Pangu are all immortals with the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and they can all be caught by the Divine Stone, so what am I? I'm afraid I'll have to leave a remnant soul behind, and if something happens, I'm still prepared. ”
I nodded, "So, you're leaving the remnant here?" ”
Hunchback nodded and said, "At that time, my Dao skills definitely didn't dare to say that they were the best in the world, at best, they could only be regarded as average. But our clan has a very long lifespan, and I have a lot of experience in controlling time, so this turtle shell has turned into two realms. And here, an empty tomb was built, and a wisp of my soul hid in this empty tomb. ”
"When I went underwater that day, I found that Nuwa was still awake. She wasn't completely controlled, and I found that her aura was weak, even on par with me. ”
I'm afraid that when I hear this, I can't help but be speechless: how strong Nuwa's original strength must be, and even if she is weak, she can be as powerful as this hunchback.
The hunchback continued: "I wanted to rescue Nuwa at that time. But Nuwa shook her head and told me that she couldn't go. Now he can only remain conscious, but his body has been completely controlled by the Divine Stone. ”
"I asked Nuwa what this sacred stone was. Nuwa said that this thing was the first time she had seen it. I don't know who sent the news that this stone has the power to destroy the world, and if it is not suppressed, sooner or later the world will be in chaos. So the three immortals found the stone together and wanted to destroy it. As a result, after a fight, it was found that this stone was indeed devastating, and the three of them were not opponents at all, but were caught by the other party. ”
"Nuwa said to me that the stone had caught the three of them and was eating. The Dao Technique on their bodies, as well as all the power, were sucked into the Divine Stone. When a few of them run out of gas, they may be abandoned. ”
I was shocked to hear the hunchback's words: "Where did this stone come from?" Why is it so scary? ”
The hunchback said, "Even Nuwa doesn't know where this stone came from. After saying these few words, I said that I would find all the immortals in the world and smash this stone. But Nuwa stopped me, and she told me to keep the secret and hide the news of the stone forever. If the stone had stayed at the bottom of the river, the world would have been safe. If a cultivator is not self-sufficient and wants to destroy it, he will instead provide it with new food. ”
When I heard this, I was a little puzzled: "Later, did you spread the news?" ”
The hunchback said, "Of course not. I wanted to leave, but I was discovered by the Divine Stone, so I became his puppet. However, although my strength cannot be compared with these three great immortals, fortunately, I have a wisp of remnant soul to stay awake. It is this remnant soul that sustains my true body, waking up every now and then. My remnant soul is hiding in this tomb, one day in this place, one year in the world, I use this method to prolong my life, hoping that one day, there will be a genius comparable to the three ancient immortals, and the four of us will be rescued. ”
"But two days ago, I found out that he was about to be killed. I could only wake up the true body with all my strength and save him, but this action made Shenshi notice, and this remnant soul of mine was hit hard, and it couldn't last long. Therefore, I called you two in, hoping that you can continue to help us keep this secret, and if there is a fate, find a genius, teach him Taoism, and let him stop the Divine Stone and stop making waves. ”
