Chapter XXXVIII
Seeing the meat ball plunged into the spiritual spring, Lan Yufeng shook his head, feeling that he was watching a farce.
"Kowtow to you three times, it's just to make the surroundings return to normal, and there is no enchantment, right?" Looking at the dead old man, Lan Yufeng was no longer able to complain, it seems that the truth still has to be dug by himself.
Looking around, it was empty, but the various grooves on the wall seemed to have a mystery, Lan Yufeng walked to one of the grooves at random, and this time it was really smooth, and it didn't take a few steps to arrive.
I saw that this groove was boxy, and it was dug very skillfully, and there was a quaint small wooden box inside, without a little dust, Lan Yufeng reached out and wanted to take it out to see what was inside, but he found that his hand couldn't reach in at all, as if an invisible door stopped him.
Lan Yufeng tried to get other grooved things again, but he encountered the same treatment, all of which were thousands of miles away according to him.
"Do you want to start with the first one?" Guessing like this, Lan Yufeng walked towards the first groove on the right hand of the cave entrance, which was the groove just now, making it impossible for him to get close, only a few steps away but it seemed to be thousands of miles away.
Passing by the fountain, the meat ball did not move at all, the pool was calm, where was there still a trace of it, Lan Yufeng didn't have the heart to think about it, and walked quickly, wanting to confirm his thoughts.
The first groove is very small, only a small box the size of a fist, Lan Yufeng reached out, and sure enough, there was no prohibition, and he took it directly in his hand, but when he took it, he found that there was no crack in this box, how could it be opened, Lan Yufeng thought about it, mobilized a little spiritual power, and tried to input it into the box, he was cautious, for fear that he would guess wrong, and if he didn't pay attention, he would ruin the box.
As soon as the spiritual power was injected a little, Lan Yufeng hurriedly stopped and observed nervously, but there was nothing unusual about the box in his hand.
"It's really not ordinary," Lan Yufeng saw this, and continued to inject spiritual power into the box, there was no other way to open the box at the moment, because it was completely integrated, then it could only be tried with spiritual power.
However, Lan Yufeng still practiced for too short a time, and his spiritual power was really limited, half of his spiritual power was injected, and the box in his hand still did not react at all, in desperation, he decided not to enter it anymore, thinking about whether there was any other way, but just when he wanted to retreat, he found that the spiritual power was no longer under his control, no matter how much he wanted to refuse to export the spiritual power, the spiritual power still poured into the box from its body.
Lan Yufeng was shocked, and even called for martial arts to come out to help in his heart, but he didn't get any response, when his spiritual power was almost exhausted, Lan Yufeng suddenly found that the box was constantly expanding, and he seemed to be shrinking, at this time, the box emitted a huge suction, and Lan Yufeng entered the box uncontrollably.
"Ding. The box had no support, and it fell to the ground all of a sudden, making a crisp sound, still the size of a fist.
"Where is this?" Lan Yufeng suddenly fell to the ground, looking around like a room, surrounded by a room full of books.
"The old man has been waiting for so long, how can he be so weak," At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind Lan Yufeng, Lan Yufeng quickly turned around, and saw an old man with long hair standing behind him, dressed like the old man outside, but with distinct facial features, he looked like a normal person.
"You're the ninth to come here, but you're the weakest, how can you be chosen?
"Please make it clear to the seniors, the kid came here by mistake, did you recognize the wrong person?" Lan Yufeng saw that this person was conscious, and it was not like he only knew how to talk to himself just now, so he asked.
"You can't be wrong, although you are very weak, but the breath on your body can't be fake," the old man shook his head, full of regret, but his tone was indeed categorical.
"Then may I ask senior, where is this place, are you the old man who talked to me just now?"
"I'm him, not him, you don't belong to this world, and the other eight people are not people from this world, but since you have been chosen by them, you must fight for your mission, I know that you may not understand it now, but one day you will understand, I won't tell you too early now, so as not to make you unable to bear the psychological pressure." ”
Lan Yufeng looked at him in surprise, but the other party seemed to know exactly what he was thinking, and said to himself without waiting for him to ask,
"You don't have to be surprised, I won't be bad for you, but I've been dead for a long, long time, this is my consciousness space, only by using the spiritual power in my door can I be awakened, every time I appear, I will be weaker by one point, and I have appeared nine times now, so I don't have time to explain to you, I hope it will be the last time, otherwise I will disappear forever." ”
Looking at Lan Yufeng, he continued.
"Outside me, I am in the period of madness, in the last moment I sealed my consciousness in this box of the world, waiting for your arrival, and he, only retain the most instinctive thoughts and abilities, but one thing he said is right, you need to complete your mission, if you can't complete it, you will stay with me forever. ”
Speaking of this, Lan Yufeng couldn't hold back any longer and interrupted him.
"What the hell is my mission, and if I can't do it, I'll never be able to get out?"
"No, you can go out at any time, you only need to sign a contract with me, and I will witness you continue to become stronger, only when you become stronger, it is possible to complete the mission. ”
Unexpectedly, the old man's answer was completely different from what he said when he was outside, at that time, he was very excited to say that the outside was a dirty world, an unclean world, and he was not allowed to go out again, but now he said that he could go out at any time, which one is true or false?
"What contract is signed, and how?"
"See the door of life and death outside, right? In fact, it is a space that can be moved, after signing a contract with me, you can take this space away, although the resources inside cannot be all used by you for the time being, but as your strength increases, it will slowly open to you, in disguise, you are the master of this space, but you can't fully control it for the time being. The old man's words were peaceful, without the slightest hint of demagogy, as if he was telling him a story.
"That's all?"
"Of course, you also need to give your all for your mission, and when you are required to carry out your mission, I will naturally tell you, and even if you don't want to carry out your mission, even if I don't force you, someone will naturally force you to do it, and since the moment you are chosen, you have no choice. I, and this space, exist to help you. The old man looked at him and said with a smile.
"I know that it is difficult for you to accept my words for a while, you can go back and digest it slowly, now you only need to realize one thing, if you refuse to sign the contract, then you will be trapped here forever, and if you sign the contract, you only need to do what you have to do when it is time to carry out the mission, there is only good and no harm for you. ”
"Then I don't have a choice, do I?" Lan Yufeng looked at the old man in front of him, and felt like he was trading with the devil, but he didn't have a choice, "Can you tell me, how did the eight people before me end?"
"They have been invincible in the world all their lives, although they have not completed their mission at the end of their lives, but they are proud of their lives!"
