Chapter 9: The Three Elders
Chapter 9: The Three Elders
A few hours later, on a barren mountain hundreds of miles away from the Tang family, Tang Xingchi and Tang Huaxi were talking leisurely, not far from the two, Tang Jinbiao was curled up on the ground like a lost dog at the moment, trembling up and down, although he couldn't see that there were no wounds on his body, but obviously he had suffered a lot of torture.
"Babble...... Babbling ......"
Tang Jinbiao kept humming in his mouth, but except for making a hoarse voice, he couldn't hear what he was saying at all, which was obviously the "credit" of Tang Huaxi and Tang Xingchi.
"Hmph, this kind of waste left in our Tang family is also a waste of resources, it is better to sell it directly to the Corpse Dao Sect and refine it into corpses for them, but seeing that his body is too weak, at most it can only be used as nourishment for those corpse kings. ”
Looking at Tang Jinbiao's painful appearance, Tang Xingchi said unmoved.
"Huh?"
After hearing Tang Xingchi say this, a trace of disgust flashed on Tang Huaxi's face, and he seemed to be displeased and said: "Xingchi don't say such things in the future, now there are only our brothers, naturally nothing, if it is heard by outsiders and reported to the elders, I am afraid that it will not be enough to ask for your little life, that corpse Dao Sect belongs to the evil sect, how can it be compared with our Tang family? Besides, although Tang Jinbiao is a waste now, the anger of his parents The three elders can fight for us, but don't forget, he also has an elder brother!"
"Don ...... Tang Dynasty...... Tang Reverse!"
After hearing Tang Huaxi's words, Tang Xingchi's body couldn't help but tremble, and he said Tang Shun's name with some fear.
"Well, it's good if you remember, if it weren't for Tang Re's early ascension, those geniuses on this Divine Wind Continent would be considered birds? Compared with Tang Reyi, those so-called geniuses are simply the gap between the flame of the candle and the light of the bright moon, and even those old monsters who have lived thousands of years old are nothing, in front of that person, their age is all living on a dog, hum!"
Tang Huaxi said with some pride on his face.
After all, that Tang Shun is also a member of their Tang family, although there are all kinds of infighting between these people, but in the face of the kind of people who are their peers, but their strength exceeds their own too much, there will be no jealousy in their hearts, but a kind of worship.
As the saying goes: if there is a person who is inferior to you, then you will look down on him, if a person is similar to you, then you will secretly compare with him, if a person is just a little more than you, then you will be jealous of him, but if there is a person who is too much more than you, then you will only worship him.
"But you say, did Tang Yi really succeed in the tribulation? At that time, the tribulation was so terrifying that I was directly stunned, and I didn't see anything at all. ”
After a while, Tang Xingchi's face returned to some normal, and he said with some doubts.
"I don't know, but I don't think it will be successful, after all, the power of the tribulation is too great, it is said that the Great Elder and some of the infant refining old monsters who watched from a distance could not withstand that kind of coercion, and all the people fainted, but afterwards the Great Elder's face didn't seem to look good, and he didn't mention it, I was afraid that Tang Shun would still fall, after all, he was only fifteen years old at the time, and his cultivation was only in the Dan period, if I didn't guess wrong, as long as that kind of Heavenly Tribulation was so good, the Great Elder would be more than auspicious in the face. Tang Huaxi said with some trepidation.
"That's right, even if the Great Elder faces that kind of Heavenly Tribulation, he can't resist at all!"
Just then, an old voice came from a distance.
"I've seen the three elders!"
"Meet the Third Elder!"
As soon as they heard the voice of the visitor, Tang Huaxi and Tang Xingchi were excited, and hurriedly saluted respectfully and said.
"Well, excuse me, you two little guys did a good job this time, you were able to bring this waste out, and you didn't alarm the parents of this waste, you did a good job, there are two Tsukidan in this bottle as a reward. ”
The old man was dressed in gray, he looked like he was only in his forties, and his face was majestic, if it weren't for his voice being too old, others would not believe that he had lived for hundreds of years.
The old man fell in front of the two of them like an immortal, and threw it casually, a green jade bottle was thrown into Tang Huaxi's hand, Tang Huaxi took the bottle with an excited face, and Tang Xingchi on the side was also trembling with excitement, and the two quickly knelt down and said: "Thank you to the three elders for the medicine, come and say that the grandson has successfully built the foundation, and he will be reciprocated by the spring." ”
"Well, okay, this foundation building pill is just able to improve the probability of building some foundation for you, not necessarily successful, mainly depends on yourself, only yourself is the foundation, we immortal cultivators are originally destined to the sky, although the pill is good, but the power of the pill belongs to the external force after all, which will only limit our own development. ”
The Third Elder nodded and said earnestly.
After all, although these two people are not his own grandchildren, the blood in their bones is that of an ancestor, and there is naturally a kind of love between elders and juniors.
If there is a powerful man by this old man's side, he will definitely be speechless in shock when he hears his words. Of course, maybe these words are just the three elders reading from the book, not his own understanding, just like a primary school student can recite all kinds of Tang poems and Song lyrics, but there are only a few who can understand the true meaning of it.
"Only one's own strength is fundamental!"
"The elixir is just an external force?"
Listening to the words of the three elders, Tang Huaxi and Tang Xingchi couldn't help but fall into contemplation, the two of them have been practicing spells all these years, and they have not gone through any body refining techniques, because in the consciousness of the two of them, this kind of thing is something that only those inferior people who are born humble and do not have any spiritual roots, but have to survive will do, and now after the three elders said this, the two of them left a question in their hearts.
"In fact, in ancient times, almost everyone was a double cultivation of body and law, and the combat power of the monks at that time was also terrifying, but it was not easy to talk about the double cultivation of body and law, in ancient times, the heaven and earth were full of spiritual energy, and there were countless treasures of heaven and earth. Even if countless talented people have devoted their lives to their efforts and passion, it is difficult to achieve anything just in Taoist cultivation, let alone spend more time refining the body? So you don't have to worry, you just need to practice your own exercises, after all, this is not the ancient era, although our Tang family has the resources and the ability to let the Tang family's disciples double cultivate, but this will only be a waste of resources, because this idea has been thought of by some handsome people countless years ago, and has been implemented, but the final result is all a bamboo basket for nothing. ”
After seeing the contemplative looks of the two, the three elders seemed to be worried that the two of them had gone astray, so they continued to explain, but there are some things, once they are subconsciously presented, no matter how you explain them, the effect will not be too obvious.
"Well, my grandson understands. ”
Tang Huaxi and Tang Xingchi nodded yes, but there were still some traces left in their hearts, maybe it was just an unintentional remark by the three elders, which led to the demonic obstacles in their hearts.
"Okay, now you go back, the old man has to deal with this waste himself, and you can't watch it. ”
After the third elder saw the appearance of the two of them, a hint of imperceptible sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he said with a straight face.
"Well, grandson understands!"
After Tang Huaxi and the others heard the three elders say this, they naturally didn't dare to stop, and they took their flying swords and broke through the air in the direction of the Tang family.
"Hey, hey!"
After seeing the two of them disappear into the sky, the third elder's face showed a smug smile, and then he rolled up his sleeves, rolled up Tang Jinbiao on the ground, and then turned into a ray of light, shooting in the opposite direction to Tang Huaxi, but his speed didn't know how many times faster than the two, just in the blink of an eye, he completely disappeared from sight.
The three elders galloped all the way with Tang Jinbiao, and after four or five hours, a large black and oppressive forest appeared in front of them, as if endless, in the blurred distance, you can vaguely see those mountains that don't know how high they are, those mountains look black below, and the halfway up the mountain is almost white, as for the top of the mountain, it can't be seen at all, it is completely covered by clouds.
"It's finally here!"
After seeing those mountains from a distance, the third elder did not continue to hurry, but looked at a lake below that was not too big, because the place where he was too high, the lake looked only the size of a palm, but as he landed, the lake became bigger and bigger, and when he was only a hundred meters away from the lake, he found that this lake actually had a radius of ten miles, and it was already considered a large lake.
"Open!"
When the third elder was about to enter the lake, he pointed his right index finger at the surface of the lake, and read it in his mouth, and then a whirlpool appeared directly on the surface of the water.
The third elder didn't think about it, bursts of white protective aura appeared on the surface of his body, and he grabbed Tang Jinbiao and fell inside, without making the slightest sound.
After the three elders entered the lake, the whirlpool slowly healed, and the originally rapidly shaking lake surface also returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
If someone was in the water at this moment, they would definitely find that the three elders were grabbing Tang Jinbiao and were rapidly falling towards the bottom of the lake, but the lake water seemed to come to life, and when they met the two of them, they would flow to the side.
After a while, the three elders fell to the bottom of the lake, and a stone beast appeared in front of him, this stone beast seemed to be a lion, but if you looked closely, it didn't seem to be, because the feet of this stone beast were like cow's hooves, and even had dense scales covering it.
Seeing the stone beast, the three elders' expressions that had been a little nervous were slightly relieved, and their right hands were raised again, and a white aura was directly injected into the stone beast, and then the stone beast emitted bursts of dazzling white light, which instantly engulfed the two of them, but the white light disappeared in the blink of an eye, but the same two disappeared as well.
It turned out that the three elders and Tang Jinbiao had already entered the interior of the stone beast, and the interior of this stone beast was like a huge palace, not as small as it seemed on the surface.
However, as soon as he entered here, the third elder's face became gloomy, he threw Tang Jinbiao to the ground, and said with a cold snort: "Hmph, don't play dead to the old man!"
"Ouch, it hurts my dad to death!"
was thrown like this, Tang Jinbiao, who had been pretending to be unconscious, couldn't help but hum. Immediately, he didn't care about anything, sat on the ground, and looked at the three elders.
"Do you know why I brought you here?"
After the third elder saw Tang Jinbiao's unscrupulous appearance, he frowned, looking a little displeased, but then he stretched out again and said lightly.
"Oh, what is Lao Tzu's life? It's so easy to cross over, not only is it not the genius of the son of the Shenma family, but it is also bad luck everywhere, I bought a bad watch last year!"
Tang Jinbiao was actually already afraid in his heart, because he believed that if the person in front of him had a killing intention against him, even if he could kill him with just one look, but the other party didn't do it, or the other party had any concerns, otherwise even a look from Tang Huaxi and Tang Xingchi could make him vomit blood, not to mention the three elders in front of him who he couldn't estimate at all.
But in the same way, he had scolded many times in his heart, but he said in his mouth: "Grandson doesn't know, I don't know what the purpose of the third elder is to bring his grandson here?"
"Hehe, do you really think I don't dare to kill you?"
After seeing the sly look in Tang Jinbiao's eyes, the third elder laughed angrily, and said with a change in his face.
