Chapter 8: The Old Man

"What's going on?!"

The sudden movement made Zhou Zhen startled.

Walking quickly out of the cave, the shaking continued, and looking at the sky, I saw the dark clouds in the sky carrying the air current, rushing behind the mountains.

"The "Wind God Fury" has been put away, and the "Eight Immortals Duel" has not moved, what can make such a big move?"

With questions, Zhou Zhen came to the top of the mountain.

At this point, the shaking began to weaken, and after a minute, it finally stopped, but the dark clouds in the sky still rushed frantically behind the mountain where Shuma stood. And behind the mountain, the source of this movement is another mountain.

The top of the mountain seemed to have generated a huge whirlpool of air currents, constantly forcibly attracting dark clouds and air currents into it, just like the "wind god fury", but there was no tornado now.

The mountains are not far from the boat, and the dark clouds are very strong.

The dark clouds kept colliding, and the sound of thunder kept coming, shaking the eardrums.

Thick dark clouds piled up halfway up the mountain, and thunder and lightning continued to bombard the mountain, which looked very strange at a glance.

The disciples of the sect who were cultivating in the back mountain also noticed the movement here.

"What's going on in that sky? How can there be such movement?"

"Zhou Shao seems to be cultivating there, nothing will happen, right?"

"Do you want to go and tell the elders?"

"No, maybe it's just some weather phenomenon, and if we have to tell the elders about such a trivial matter, we'll have to be scolded again. ”

"Yes, when the time comes, we are all fools who only know how to cultivate, so let's hurry up and cultivate. ”

......

Just as the disciples were talking, hundreds of white rays of light suddenly scattered from the top of the mountain, and then the white rays of light instantly began to rotate at high speed.

The white light swirled for a few breaths, then dispersed violently, and as the white light disappeared, the dark clouds and whirlpools of air currents on the mountain also disappeared. Suddenly, the back mountain changed back to its original state, as if nothing had happened.

"Gone? What's going on?"

"I've said it a long time ago, it's just some of the weather right now. ”

The disciples were obviously very unfamiliar with this phenomenon, and their minds were full of doubts, but they didn't have the heart to think about it, and in the blink of an eye, they began to cultivate again.

He had never seen this phenomenon before, but he would not have thought it was a weather phenomenon.

"Check it out!"

Driven by curiosity, Zhou Zhen rushed down the mountain and rushed to the unknown mountain.

Xiaohou Mountain is not far from the big mountain, and it only took more than ten minutes for the boat to reach the foot of the mountain.

The dark clouds of the mountain have dissipated, and now it is as quiet and harmonious as the small back mountain.

Zhou Zhen walked into the mountain, no longer rushing like before, but slowed down, for fear of breaking the tranquility here.

For him, no amount of curiosity can satisfy it in a destructive way.

Zhouzhen's behavior seemed to have been recognized by all things in the mountains, and the fluttering butterflies flew low beside him, and one of them stopped on his shoulder and flapped its beautiful little wings.

After walking so slowly, after about two quarters of an hour, I came to the halfway point of the mountain.

Walking on the mountain path, Zhou Zhen casually broke off a piece of grass, put it in his mouth and took it in his mouth.

Looking at the scenery of the mountains and forests, there are some birds chirping on the branches, and occasionally you can see deer shuttling between the mountains and forests.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Zhou Zhen's eyes focused on one place, just a hundred meters away, and a thatched house could be faintly seen.

Zhou Zhen trotted over. Outside the thatched house, clean as promised, the inside of the house is extremely quiet, a little out of place with the vibrant mountain forest, the breeze blows, through the slightest coolness.

"No one?"

Zhou Zhen whispered, gently pushed the door open with both hands, and walked quietly.

"Empty house!?"

The room was spotless and there was nothing in it.

Nothing but silence.

"It's strange, why is a house where no one lives so clean?"

Zhou Zhen was puzzled, and when he took a breath, he suddenly felt a chill behind him!

"Bang!"

Just as Zhou Zhen turned around, the door suddenly closed by itself. After the door was closed, the originally spacious and bright room had become an endless dark space! Only this beam of dust and light shone above Zhou Zhen's head.

"What's going on? Why is the room gone? Where is this?"

The sudden change really startled Zhou Zhen and exclaimed.

After the startle, Zhou Zhen slowly eased up. Thinking about it: In this case, someone must be behind the control, and this person may not have the intention of killing him.

The one who can create such a dark space must be an unfathomable powerhouse, and if he wants to kill himself, he can't do such a hard job.

"I don't know who the predecessor is, can I show up. Zhou Zhen arched his hand, facing the darkness in front of him, and said respectfully.

Zhou Zhen's voice echoed in the darkness, and a moment later came a slightly old voice.

"Tell me your age, little one. ”

Zhou Zhen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then relieved: "The kid is thirteen this year." ”

The words fell, and the dark space fell silent again, and after a few breaths, looking ahead, an old figure who seemed to be there walked towards Zhou Zhen.

"Thirteen, hehe, it's the best age for cultivation. ”

Zhou Zhen looked at the old man who seemed to be nothing, and said, "I don't know where the old gentleman is, why did he attract the juniors?"

The old man stopped and looked at him with a smile: "The little guy can concentrate on it, but if he changes to another teenager, seeing that I am not a ghost or a ghost, I am afraid that I will be half dead." ”

As he spoke, the old man's face was a little helpless, and then he returned to kindness: "Don't worry who I am, I brought you here, but I took a fancy to you!"

"Ah, what does this mean, old man?" Zhou Zhen was a little puzzled, and said.

"Hey, little one, you probably don't know much about what's going on in your body, do you?"

"Inside me?" muttered Zhouzhen.

He naturally knew that there were two soul fusions in his body, and he had never mentioned this matter to anyone, and the old man in front of him made such a move to lure himself over obviously premeditated, and the meaning of his words was also very well understood about the situation in his body, could it be that he could still sense his own body through the mountain?

"Little guy, you want to become stronger, have you encountered a lot of difficulties while cultivating?" said the old man, Ying Ying.

Zhou Zhen thought for a moment: "Could it be that the old gentleman wants to ......?"

"I want to take you as an apprentice. ”

"Damn! really!" Zhou Zhen scolded in his heart, this old man, he tried his best to lure him over, but he was just to take him as an apprentice?

But think about it carefully, in the past year, I have encountered a lot of difficulties in cultivation, and the speed has been dragged down by various reasons, the seal of the meridians was like this at the beginning, and now this good palace-level alchemy "Eight Immortals" is also unpredictable, and I can't figure it out.

For example, the younger generation in Xicheng today, most of those who claim to be geniuses are some good mentors to guide them, and that Lin Ying is like this. On the other hand, he is a lonely cultivator.

"Uh...... Sir, I do need a teacher to give me some advice, but you've tried your best to lure me over, but it's a bit ......" Zhou Zhen deliberately said halfway through his words.

"Hehe, it's not too embarrassing to take the trouble to lure a young man with such a powerful soul power over as an apprentice. The old man laughed.

Zhou Zhen has a black line on his face, what does it mean that he is not too embarrassed?

"The old gentleman has been emphasizing how my body is, I wonder what the old gentleman thinks?"

The old man thought for a moment: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt to say it and listen to you." ”

The old man's voice fell, and Zhou Zhen also began to get serious.

"That's a long way to say, but it's ......."

"This continent, called the Illusory World Continent, was born tens of millions of years ago, and all kinds of creatures and races were born between heaven and earth, and human beings are one of them.

In addition to humans, there are other powerful beasts, such as demonic beasts and spirit beasts. Because beasts often feed on humans, there is a lot of conflict between beasts and humans, and after countless years of evolution, the conflict between beasts and humans has risen from food to race, and now it has reached the point of irreconcilability.

The flesh of beasts is extremely tough, and in order to fight against beasts, human beings use the refining of qi between heaven and earth for their own use, so that they gradually create alchemy and alchemy, and in this way, with the passage of time, qi refining cultivation has become the main tone of cultivation in the human world. ”

Zhou Zhen listened very carefully, but this has a lot to do with his body?

suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to listen carefully.

"Although Qi refining has become the main tone of cultivation, there is also the existence of some people with special abilities. ”

"Someone with special abilities?" Zhou Zhen obviously hadn't heard of it, and his face was full of doubts.

"Well, these people with special abilities, also known as people with special abilities, some of them are born and some are cultivated by chance, and their abilities are single, but their strength is generally incomparable.

Some of the people with special abilities have the physical strength and ability of Warcraft, some will obtain strange abilities, and some can be integrated with fire and water, but no matter what the ability, its strength is strong and terrifying, it is said that a hundred years ago, a strong human with the ability of Warcraft, after getting drunk, fought and destroyed an empire overnight. ”

You must know that there are usually more than a dozen subordinate dynasties in an empire, such as the Tianxi Dynasty where Zhou Zhen is located, which is a subordinate dynasty of the Moonlight Empire, and under the Moonlight Empire, there are more than a dozen subordinate dynasties like the Tianxi Dynasty.

The territory of a dynasty alone is already extremely vast, and its strength is also extremely powerful, and this supernatural powerhouse has destroyed an empire overnight!? It's appalling!

Zhou Zhen's eyes were already glazed, and he thought to himself, this wine really can't be drunk indiscriminately!

"The supernatural is too powerful, and it can even be said that it is invincible. The old man's face was not shocked, and he said lightly.

"Then if you meet a person with extraordinary abilities, won't you meet the god of death?" Zhou Zhen said in horror.

"That's not necessarily, although the ability person is strong, but the weakness is also somewhat obvious, for example, a person with the ability of "wood", the weakness is fire, the ability is "fire", and the weakness is water. ”

"And even if the ability is strong, his own meridians can't become stronger with the strength of his ability, so if a person without a special ability meets a person with an ability, he only needs to cultivate the power of the meridians to a certain level, and then he can compete with the person with the ability. ”

"What does the old gentleman mean is that he uses the power of the meridians to attack the supernatural person, but the meridians are all in the body, how to attack?" Zhou Zhen asked.

"It's not a big problem, you just need to cultivate more meridians at ordinary times, and when you cultivate to a certain level, the power of the meridians will be substantial, and when you fight, you can attach the power of the meridians to the outer body with a single thought. ”

Zhou Zhen listened carefully, today can be regarded as broadening his horizons, this illusory continent is really wonderful!

Thinking about it carefully, it's no wonder that Lin Ying is still insisting on cultivating the meridians, I'm afraid that his people have already understood, and this Lin Ying's mentor really has some way to go.

"That, old man, you said that the ability can be acquired the day after tomorrow, how can you obtain the Fa?" Zhou Zhen said with a deep meaning on his face.

When the old man heard this, he glanced at him, and obviously saw what Zhou Zhen was thinking: "The ability is generated by heaven and earth, and is born between heaven and earth in the form of fruit elixir, and is often born in the deep mountains, seabed, underground, and volcanoes. ”

"There are no side effects of this ability, but there are flaws, such as if you eat an ability born in the form of an apple, you can't eat an apple for the rest of your life. And if you consume the pill form, it depends on the specific pill effect, and if you consume the ability in the form of "Mighty Pill", then you can no longer consume Pill. ”

"Once you have an ability, you can't give it up unless you die. Also, a kind of ability can only be possessed by one person, and when the person dies, this ability will be reborn as a fruit or elixir. ”

"Oh, I see. Saying that, Zhou Zhen pretended not to care, but secretly said in his heart: You must find a ability to use it!
