The old man in the thatched hut was sipping tea in front of a new wooden table, and in front of him stood a tall man, who was smiling at the old man drinking tea.

The old man asked, "Don't you think you've gone too far?"

The tall man's smile was still there, as if he couldn't hear the reprimand in the old man's words: "I don't think, I'm just doing things according to the rules of the mountains." ”

The old man frowned, and said with emotion: "It's really right to call you a big fool, you don't use your brain, he is just a human being, although the potential of the body has developed a little, but compared with your clan, it is a world of difference." ”

The tall man muttered in a low voice: "Didn't you say that he belonged to the 'Xuan' clan, I just thought that he must have two brushes, so... Just"

After hearing this, the old man turned his head sharply and stared fiercely at the colorful parrot on the window, and as soon as the parrot and the old man's eyes intertwined, he immediately shrank his head in his wings, like a dozing old hen. Sighing helplessly, the old man asked, "How long will it take for the second fool to wake up?"

"Judging by the strength of his body, the day after tomorrow is about the same. The tall man smiled, and a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes, but it was only for a moment that he returned to normal.

"Hmph, that kid only has seven days to enter the mountain, except for the day he himself delayed, you have consumed two days in vain, now he really entered the treasure mountain and returned empty-handed. In the future, how do I deal with the people of the 'Xuan' clan, you have to take responsibility for this matter. The old man thought of something, and suddenly looked like a person in the market, looking for someone to take responsibility for this matter.

This is far from the old man in his impression, and the tall man also knows that this matter is not trivial, he gritted his teeth and said, "I will compensate him." ”

The old man turned his head, tilted one eye half-open to the man, and said, "Then it depends on whether you are willing or not, you have to think twice before making amends." ”

The old man had something to say, and the tall man understood. It must be a supreme treasure to make him a young master who is reluctant to give up, and if he doesn't take out something of this value, this old man will probably not agree. If his territory is fine, but in this mountain, the only thing he can get his hands on is that one thing. After pondering for a long time, the man resolutely spoke: "There is nothing to be reluctant to. ”

Now that the man has already made a statement, with his unique identity, the old man believes that the man will definitely do what he says. Waving his hand, the man slowly withdrew from the thatched house.

Early in the morning, Chen Rui got up and rubbed his shoulders, which were still very stiff, and he glanced around the room. The big fool had already gone out, and he shook his head in frustration, but he didn't expect that he would faint unconsciously after receiving an elbow from the big fool. This big fool's boxing technique is quite strange, like a low-degree soju, there is something at first taste, but afterwards the alcohol is strong, enough to make people top-heavy.

"You're awake, come with me, the big fool has something to look for you. The colorful parrot waited for a long time, and when it saw that Chen Rui had only woken up at this time, it didn't give him a chance to breathe, and immediately beckoned.

Chen Rui didn't say a word, and followed.

This time, I didn't go back and forth many times, and I only walked more than five miles to reach my destination.

In front of an emerald green rock, and in front of it, the great fool was already standing. Chen Rui looked at the back of the big fool and felt that the light seemed to be distorted by him, and he couldn't even tell the height.

The big fool is about one meter and eight meters tall, and the emerald rock is about one and a half meters by sight, but the taller big fool stands in front of the emerald rock, but it gives people a sense of insignificance. Not taller, not short, but small. Chen Rui rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was dazzled, but when he looked at it again, the mysterious feeling was still haunted in his heart and lingered.

As if to prove that his idea was wrong, Chen Rui walked quickly and walked to the emerald green rock, only to find that there was a word engraved on it. The rock is an ordinary rock, and the lettering is an unusual lettering. It is said to be unusual because the inscription is crooked, as if a three-year-old child had just held a pen and inscribed it, which is really a bit lame. The most shocking thing is that the engraving is still a "eat" word.

When Chen Rui was observing the emerald green rocks, the big fool glanced at Chen Rui by the way, intentionally or unintentionally, just a dragonfly flashing by the water.

"Do you know what this rock is?" asked the big fool softly, closing his eyes.

Chen Rui withdrew his gaze from the crooked words, he stared at the big fool and asked, "What is it?"

The big fool chuckled lightly and said: "There are ten thousand ways in the sky, and there are no rotten wood mortal stones, and this stone is the most useless mortal stone on the same level as rotten wood." ”

Chen Rui didn't understand why after hearing this, he just smiled.

The big fool stood up, stretched out a finger, and tapped it lightly on the corner of the emerald rock. Suddenly, the stone chips flew and turned into wisps of green smoke. When the big fool stopped, the green smoke turned back into a corner of the rock like a rewind.

Chen Rui smacked his tongue, he neither expected this rock to be so fragile, nor did he expect that the rock could be broken and reunited.

Without waiting for Chen Rui to come to his senses, the big fool said again: "Then do you know how the inscription on this stone came from?"

Chen Rui shook his head, and the big fool also shook his head, and he couldn't say that he was ugly.

"I heard that it was written by a cow man whose body had cultivated to the realm of creation with his little finger, and this word contained the 'Dao' of that cow man, and it was along this path that he finally became a supreme avenue. The big fool was not shocked, and said: "This cow man thinks that there are ten thousand ways in the world, but there is only one word." The big fish eat the small fish, the small fish eat the shrimp, and they are interlocking, and they have to be artificially made into themselves... In layman's terms, it is 'the law of the jungle'. ”

Chen Rui has heard the term "the law of the jungle" no less than ten times in the past month. Whether it is in daily life or on the path of cultivation, this sentence has always stood there, engraved in front of his eyes, engraved in his heart. Indeed, as the great fool said, the existence of any thing must rob the creation of others, and the creation of the seed germination when the person eats, and the water in the soil when the seed germinates. In short, it is impossible to be born in this world, and it is impossible to be celibate.

Although what the big fool said was reasonable, Chen Rui was still puzzled: "Does this have anything to do with cultivating the physique?"

The big fool was stunned when he heard this, he didn't know whether these two fools were really stupid or fake stupid, and then he took out a leaf of golden paper from his arms. "This is given to you as if I owe it to you. ”

Chen Rui stretched out his arm, thought about it, and confirmed that the big fool just now was talking about himself, not lending it to himself, and he retracted his hand again.

"You take it, it's what I owe you. The big fool especially accentuated the pronunciation of the word "owed" this time.

Chen Rui took the page suspiciously, looked left and right for a long time, and couldn't see any artistic conception.

"You will know the usefulness of this paper in the future, and it is useless to forcibly indoctrinate knowledge with your current cultivation, but it will mess up your Dao heart, which will be detrimental to your future ascent to the peak. Remember, take it one step at a time. The words of the big fool were full of temperament that did not match his appearance, Chen Rui thought for a while, the other party estimated that he was a certain master who had already achieved something, but he was suppressed by the laws of this mountain.

"Thank you very much. Chen Rui thanked him, the other party could guide him as an elder, and he must express his gratitude. Chen Rui's idea was right, if the cultivation of the big fool was outside, he could kill him Chen Rui dozens of times in an instant.

In the end, Chen Rui didn't know what the other party owed him, and when he asked again, the other party didn't answer.

After that, Chen Rui left this place and followed the colorful parrot to the old man.

"Master, that big fool keeps saying that he owes me something, and he also gave me a strange piece of gold paper, what's going on?" Chen Rui didn't hide it, he asked the old man directly.

"He took away your creation, and that is what he should compensate you for, and as for what creation he took and took you out of the mountain, you will know. The old man told the truth, but he concealed some truths for the time being.

Chen Rui wanted to ask something again, but was stopped by the old man. "You're running out of time here, so let's go outside and cultivate. I really don't know why the guy who recommended you here is so low in strength, and can only support your seven-day stay. If it weren't for that guy's limited strength and forcibly letting you come to this mountain, you wouldn't have been robbed of your creation by a big fool, all of this is fate..."

——————

The so-called cultivation is very simple, just breathing and walking. The colorful parrot told Chen Rui that there was a Dao Law in this place, and every breath he took would be trained by the Law, which was better than directly exercising his muscles. Chen Rui didn't know, just because he didn't have enough time, and the old man didn't bother to let him carry out those necessary body forging methods.

All said that the law is natural, if it is unnatural, what kind of strength will it be, Chen Rui's feeling at the moment is that unnatural. He was moving down a path less than thirty meters away, almost three steps forward and two steps back, and the distance of this step was almost impossible to remember. Chen Rui carefully lifted his foot, and then slowly fell, and wondered in his heart, "Is this step right, is it appropriate?" "In fact, there are no life-threatening tricks on the ground, just ordinary bricks and stones paved with small paths. But that kind of thought flashed out very unnaturally, and Chen Rui couldn't restrain it at all, so there was a scene where he could only take a step in half an hour.

He walked for an afternoon, and the whole person advanced two meters, and then wanted to continue to insist but was stopped by the colorful parrot. "Go with nature, don't force it, even if you barely take a few steps forward, and when you come here tomorrow, you still have to pick up where you are. "The rule in the mountains is that there are not many words, even if Chen Rui has the heart to argue, he has to swallow the words that come to his mouth.

At night, Chen Rui was already exhausted, and he even felt that the weight of his eyelids was like the teapot in the old man's hand, and he fell asleep on the bed before the moon came out.

In the thatched hut, the old man stayed with the big fool again.

"Yesterday I made you think twice, you are so anxious to hand over that heavy treasure to him, and in the future, your ancestors will not want to trouble my old man. The old man's words were thorough, and he didn't want to take the slightest responsibility in this matter.

The big fool shook his head on the surface, but in his heart he scolded this old man for being shameless, and he knew that there were only two things he brought here, and it was you who asked me to take out the corresponding amount of things at the beginning, and now he deliberately alludes to the fact that the things I gave are too heavy... The old guy is really as his father said, the sword kills without seeing blood, and before he can get out of the customs, the old guy will take the responsibility away.

"But you don't have to worry, if you give a second fool's thing, it's not another kind of creation for him. If you lose your horse, you will not know whether it is a blessing or not, and you will bear the way you choose. It's just that in the future, the two fools' 'well water' will become 'river water', and it is unknown whether he can not offend you and you. After the old man finished speaking, he raised the teapot and covered his face, and no one knew his true mood at the moment.
