Chapter 25: Turning a corner
Sha Xing was worried, but Wu Chen was not worried, because he couldn't feel the breath in You Lao's body at all, and it was obvious that You Lao was restricted in his mana.
Moreover, he is a person.
Instead of being disappointed, the two suddenly felt hopeless.
This old man, who has always been mysterious, doesn't want to recover his mana, and doesn't want to leave the dust road, what else can tempt him?
The two paused for a long time, and finally came to their senses, looked at each other and bowed in unison: "Farewell!"
You Lao has nothing to say, and the resolute back seems to say, don't send it!
Sha Xing and Wu Chen walked out of the courtyard together, and their footsteps were shiran.
At this moment, a sudden golden lightning bolt was felt from the sky, and then a thunderous rumbling sound seemed to split the heavens and the earth, and the thunder and lightning flashed, and the sky was as clean as washing.
The footsteps of the two in the courtyard paused slightly, Wu Chen looked up at the sky, and thought to himself, there was something strange on the dust road.
Even though it is already autumn, there are still many thunderstorms, and thunder and lightning are even more frequent.
This is quite different from the old island when I was younger, I guess I have been away from home for a long time, and the climate has changed?
And the five islands of dust are closer to the edge of the sea and sky, and the thunder and lightning are more intense than on the thirteen islands, as if they are split in front of you.
At this moment, Wu Chen and Sha Xing's mood is a little heavy, you should not be old, it is difficult to find a person with high mana on this dust road, and the plan to get out of the island is imminent, how to be good?
Stepping forward again, the two of them suddenly heard a voice behind them: "Slow!"
When the two of them heard the sound, they turned around, only to see You Lao, who was sitting on a bamboo futon, with his arms on the ground, and turned his whole body back in an instant.
Except for the exertion of his arms, he did not move, still sitting upright on the futon.
It's equivalent to lifting yourself up with both arms, turning around, and lowering it again.
Wu Chen was shocked to find that this senior You's body was a little broken......
His legs were exposed under his rolled robe, which was extremely asymmetrical. One leg was the length of a normal leg, and the other leg was as thick as his arm and shrunk into a ball.
Where is this still an excellent root bone for cultivation?
Just looking at the back, Wu Chen really made a mistake in judgment.
However, this old man You has long eyebrows, a serious demeanor, and a majestic eyebrow, and he really looks like a master hermit with a peerless education.
Wu Chen was surprised by the stump leg of his predecessor, and after coming back to his senses, he was worried that he would be disrespectful to look at him like this, so he hurriedly took his eyes off his leg and looked at his person with a little respect.
But Sha Xing was surprised earlier than Wu Chen.
He had seen You Lao before, and he was not surprised by this stump leg, what surprised him was that You Lao stared at Wu Chen as soon as he turned around, his eyes bloomed, and his expression was quite excited, and then he looked out for a long time, and he didn't know what evil he had fallen into.
Wu Chen also looked at the appearance of his predecessor, only to find that he had been staring at him, his expression was a little inexplicably excited, the wrinkles on his face were stretched with excitement, and the blood on his neck was spurting.
In the middle of the courtyard is a wooden pole with an iron cone for lightning channeling.
It was only because the thunder and lightning on the five islands of the dust were too strong and sometimes hurt people, so You Lao erected this high pole as a lightning rod.
However, the lightning bolt just struck, and You Lao clearly felt that the lightning struck a few feet from the ground, and suddenly turned into two, one of which slashed into the lightning rod.
The other one slashed into the body of the young man he had never met.
Although his mana is limited, You Lao is a person with superb mana, and although his true qi has been sealed for many years, he is still more sensitive than others.
Without turning around, he could sense the recovery of Sha Xing's mana, and he could also sense the power of thunder and lightning passing through Wu Chen's body.
The thunder and lightning were fierce, and with such a split, the young man's footsteps were still steady.
You Lao was curious, so he turned around.
But what he saw was a face that moved him.
This young man who has never met before is in his early twenties, with a handsome face, an extremely full forehead, a tall posture, a sparse demeanor, and a clear demeanor......
The most shocking thing is the unconcealable red hair between his thick black hair, like an old man.
If it weren't for his outward appearance, he still showed a fortitude that was not weak, and he seemed to have a killing atmosphere, and his face would probably be more similar.
You Lao was stunned for a long time before he eased his emotions, looked at Wu Chen's body deliberately, swept away the coldness that Fang Cai didn't want to ignore, and asked Wu Chen with Yan, "Who are you?"
"Junior, Thirteen Islands, No. 2 bait, Wu Chen. Wu Chen also retracted his reverie and bowed his hand.
You Lao snorted, as if in response.
How many of the names on this dusting road are true?
Although he didn't know if Wu Chen's name was true, Old You's surprise had eased at this moment, and he knew that this young man did not match the young age in his memory.
He then brushed his beard with his hand, glanced at the two people in the courtyard, and said with a smile: "You have finally figured out a way to get out of the island?"
Sha Xing knew that although this old man often meditated in the courtyard, he was not unfamiliar with the things on the dust road. What he is referring to is probably something that Sha Xing and others often plan secretly.
Both of them were a little dazed, not knowing how to answer this, but You Lao did not wait for their answer, but said again: "Tell me, how to get out?"
The two of them were overjoyed, so they said, no one would be unmoved by the dust.
"Don't get excited," You Laowu said to himself, "I'll listen first." ”
Wu Chen saw that Sha Xing secretly gave him a look, and understood what Sha Xing meant, so he replied: "Senior, in order to ensure that the plan is complete, I can't reveal all of it for the time being, let's talk about the first half of the plan first." ”
You Lao was a little black-faced, he put on an attitude of loving to say but not to speak, and stopped talking.
Wu Chen then took two steps closer, and roughly described the process of taking You Lao to recover his mana, and then going to obtain the spirit stone. But the half-moon mark hidden by the wake man behind is hidden, and the plan to go out of the island together on the day of the arrival of the Hetu Pavilion is hidden.
Wu Chen was still thinking about more strategies in his heart, for fear that You Lao would not be satisfied with the first half of the plan, and if he tried his best to ask about the second half of the plan, how should he deal with it, You Lao's eyes would shine again.
He thought about it for a moment and asked Wu Chen, "What is the spirit stone?"
This point of concern for You Lao is always unexpected, and Wu Chen can only patiently explain what effect the spirit stone has for ordinary people and cultivators......
"How did you know?" You Lao stared at Wu Chen's eyes and asked tightly.
"I'm sorry. Wu Chen said calmly.
Whether facing Sha Xing or You Lao, or someone more powerful in the future, this is Wu Chen's bottom line, he will not say it.
You Lao suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, as if he was smiling.
In addition to his appearance, this young man's attitude of neither humility nor arrogance also made him feel good.
Besides, what spirit stone did this young man find?
I haven't found a spirit stone on the dust road for many years, this kid is young, and he is a bait that he has never seen before, presumably he has just arrived, and he can know some secrets that I don't know?
Then he probably knows more secrets, You Lao thought to himself.
Since I have searched for so long and have not found what I am looking for, is it the will of Heaven to help me with the help of this young man?
"Okay!" You Lao said suddenly.
caused Wu Chen and Sha Xing to look at each other, and they didn't know what his good words meant.
"Old You, what do you mean?" Wu Chen asked.
"I've agreed to your first half of the plan, when will you go?"
Wu Chen and Sha Xing were overjoyed, although they didn't know why You Lao had such a big gap in attitudes, but it was a good thing that he agreed, and he didn't know about the overall plan, and the two of them still had hole cards in their hands.
"Then without further ado, please move around, and we will go and restore your mana first. Wu Chen bowed, and Sha Xing also respectfully made a request on the side.
"Once you have recovered your mana, you will go and get the spirit stone you said?" asked Old You.
The two of them bowed their heads.
"The spirit stone is on your thirteen islands, where is it exactly?" asked You Lao again.
When Wu Chen explained the previous plan to him, he only said that the spirit stone was on the Thirteen Islands, and did not say the specific location.
Wu Chen was helpless, and Sha Xing was also unhappy in his heart, thinking that this old man was just trying to trick them into telling them about the plan, and then wanted to swallow the spirit stone alone?
"It's not a secret, the spirit stone is in the thirteen islands of Linglong Mountain, but Linglong Mountain is intricate, in order not to delay time, I need to lead the way. Wu Chen suppressed the resentment in his heart, hinting at You Lao said.
You Lao secretly sneered, knowing how they guessed, and said, "You wait for me outside Linglong Mountain, and when I recover my mana in the southeast of the Thirteen Islands, I will go there to find you." ”
Hearing this, Wu Chen and Sha Xing were stunned again.
Does he know ......?
The two were still stunned, but they saw that You Lao on the futon had already gotten up, he still used his arms to stand up his crooked self, and then took the crutches leaning against the corner of the wall behind him, supported his broken left foot, and walked out of the courtyard with crutches as his feet.
Although the crutches are not as good as the legs and feet, Wu Chen did not see that You Lao's footsteps were a little slow, but walked vigorously, like a man in the prime of life.
"You Lao ......" Sha Xingmu passed by You Lao, and wanted to ask something, but he didn't ask.
"Go and wait for me outside Linglong Mountain, it's not enough for you to go with me. You Lao said in front, leaving the two of them with a back.
