At the bottom of the hillside is the official road, which is not wide dirt road.

Walk forward along the official road for more than half an hour, there will be two forks, and you can go straight to Qingyang City along the left fork road.

Xiao Yun and Lin Niu rushed down the hill and came to the official road.

"I almost forgot. Xiao Yun suddenly paused, patted his head and said, "I still have one more thing I forgot to take." ”

"What's that?"

Xiao Yun smiled mysteriously: "This thing is very important to me, you wait for me for a while." ”

"Hurry up, then. "Lin Niu doesn't know why.

"Rest assured. Xiao Yun said with a smile, "That master's apprenticeship is probably about to start, and I don't want to be late." ”

Just as Xiao Yun was about to turn around and run back to the hillside, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves and wheels rolling from behind.

"Be careful!"

Xiao Yun's mind was racing, and he grabbed Lin Niu and let the road go.

With a "snap", a whip shadow swept across the place where the two of them were standing just now, and slammed it on the ground, splashing a cloud of dust.

At the same time, with a "neighing" horse's cry, the carriage stopped on the official road.

Lin Niu reacted, his face turned pale. If Xiao Yun hadn't pulled himself in time, even if he hadn't been run over by the carriage, he would have been whipped.

This driver is so arrogant?!

"Two things that don't have long eyes!" The driver pulled the reins of the horse, glared at Xiao Yun and the others fiercely, said viciously, and turned his head to the carriage and smiled, "Young master, have you heard? ”

There was a sneer in the carriage, and only one person was heard: "There are many such wishful thinking, there is nothing to make a fuss about, hurry up and ask for directions." ”

"Yes. The driver answered, turned around, and asked arrogantly, "Boy, do you take this road to Qingyang City?"

After stopping from the carriage, Xiao Yun first glanced at the driver of the carriage, and then kept staring at the carriage coldly.

According to the memory of the book, the person in the carriage should be named Qian Ji, a child of a famous family in the nearby Xiaoguo City, although he is not yet 20 years old, he is already a drunkard, and he is famous in several surrounding towns, and is known as the first person in the nearby rising generation.

War wine contains alcohol power and drunkenness, and the drinker absorbs the alcohol power to improve his cultivation, but the drunkenness is completely harmful to the human body. Therefore, in addition to the continuous supply of war wine, the entry of the drinker mainly depends on his own physique. The stronger the innate physique is to resist drunkenness, the faster the cultivation will be. Qian Ji can break through to the drunkard realm before the age of twenty, and his talent can be described as quite good.

And Qian Ji went to Qingyang City, also to participate in the collection of apprentices by the masters.

And listening to Qian Ji's arrogant tone, he is also very confident that he can become a master's apprentice.

Xiao Yun was sneering in his heart, especially after hearing Qian Ji's insulting and disdainful voice: "There are many delusional things in the world, and you Qian Ji is one of them." ”

As for who will be selected this time, no one knows better than Xiao Yun.

At that moment, Xiao Yun pointed to the front of the official road and said calmly: "It's this way." However, there will be two forks in front, and you will be able to walk along the fork on the right until you reach Qingyang City. ”

Lin Niu looked at Xiao Yun with wide eyes.

"Count you as a kid. The driver glanced at Xiao Yun disdainfully, waved the horsewhip, "driven", and drove the carriage.

Dust billowed from behind the carriage and quickly moved away.

Xiao Yun and Lin Niu glanced at each other and laughed at the same time.

If this driver really follows the fork in the road pointed out by Xiao Yun, I'm afraid he won't be able to reach Qingyang City tomorrow.

"You wait here for me for a moment. Xiao Yun patted Lin Niu, turned around and ran towards the hillside.

The place he was going to was not on the hillside, but at the foot of the lake. In the book, there is something at the bottom of the lake that is extremely useful to him and is the key to the development of the plot in the future.

After a short time, Xiao Yun came to the lake.

This lake is very wide, with a radius of more than ten acres, and at this time the lake surface is rippling with microwaves, like a clear mirror.

"It's really sixteen again. Xiao Yun did not immediately jump into the lake, but squatted on the edge of the lake first, and looked at his much younger face.

In the past, Xiao Yun often dreamed of going back to his teens and living those carefree times again, when his dream came true, but he didn't know whether he was happy or sad in his heart.

After staying for a long time, Xiao Yun took off his clothes, put it on the grass in the distance, walked back to the lake, jumped violently, and got into the lake.

The water of the lake is very clear, and when you open your eyes, the scene in the lake is clear in a patch of turquoise.

Xiao Yun kept diving, but his eyes were always fixed on the bottom of the lake, and after diving five or six meters, he finally saw what he was looking for, and his heart was relieved: "Sure enough, it's here." ”

With the accelerated paddling of his hands and feet, Xiao Yun soon dived to the bottom of the lake and touched the cold surface of this thing.

This thing is a huge black ball.

It's huge.

The part that protrudes from the bottom of the lake is less than a tenth of the size of the ball, but the diameter is already more than 1,000 meters. Xiao Yun was attached to the surface of the ball, like a tiny aquatic weed attached to a boulder.

In that book, the author did not give the origin of this huge ball, and Xiao Yun also thought when he read it, this ball is so huge, and it is hidden deep at the bottom of the lake, most of it fell from the sky, and this lake may have been smashed out of this ball.

But of course, there is no way to prove this.

I don't know how many thousands of years this black ball has sunk to the bottom of the lake, the surface is full of mud and moss, Xiao Yun vigorously brushed a palm-sized area, and a deep print pattern like tree branches was immediately revealed on it.

The lines were staggered, and it seemed that the entire surface of the huge sphere was covered with such strange patterns.

After cleaning up the lines, Xiao Yun reached out and put his index finger to his mouth, bit it hard, and immediately pressed his index finger on the lines.

No response.

"Huh?" Xiao Yun was surprised and said secretly, "Is it because the amount of blood is not enough?"

At that moment, Xiao Yun gritted his teeth and rubbed his palm on the hard lines, and a piece of blood immediately gushed out from his palm.

And this time, without waiting for Xiao Yun to press his palm, he saw that the blood gushing out seemed to be attracted by some force, and it did not melt into the lake, but all the drops that were left were adsorbed on the lines, and at the same time began to disappear rapidly.

However, when I looked at it, the blood did not disappear, but turned into extremely fine lines of blood, spreading along the lines with great speed.

"It's done!" Xiao Yun was excited and nervous when he saw this, and stood still in the water waiting.

Blood kept gushing out of his hands, and it was adsorbed to the lines, but Xiao Yun didn't care, the blood flowed out naturally, not forcefully sucked out, and it didn't have any effect on him if it flowed more.

After another moment, the mutation became apparent.

The entire surface of the huge black sphere suddenly began to slowly show a slight purple color.

Seeing this, Xiao Yun's heart beat faster, and he hurriedly kicked with his feet, and quickly swam towards the edge of the bottom of the lake with both hands and feet, like a fish fleeing for his life, and then clung to a protruding rock.

In this moment, the purple on the surface of the sphere has become more and more intense, and through the mud and moss, the entire bottom of the lake is illuminated in a brilliant purple.

The scene was spectacular.

"It's time to start. Xiao Yun said secretly in his heart, his eyes staring at the bottom of the lake.

At this time, the purple at the bottom of the lake was already extremely intense, and after a pause, a layer of purple light suddenly erupted from the surface of the entire sphere. This light is like substance, instantly spewing away all the sediment and moss attached to the surface of the sphere, rippling in the lake.

The giant orb finally reveals its true face.

I saw that its whole body emitted a purple light, almost transparent, and it was covered with dense strange patterns, like a huge, carefully carved purple gem.

However, this only lasted for a short time, and immediately after, a loud "rumbling" sound began to be heard from the entire bottom of the lake.

The entire sphere began to shrink rapidly and visibly to the naked eye.

At this moment, the bottom of the lake was immediately transformed by a huge amount of water that began to pour into the underground void that the ball had shrunk to exulate. For a moment, the entire bottom of the lake seemed to be turned upside down, and endless sediment was raised, like an endless black smoke in the lake, and soon the entire lake water had become pitch black.

And in this pitch darkness, a purple light shot out of it, flew straight towards the place where Xiao Yun was, and suddenly burrowed into Xiao Yun's lower abdomen and disappeared.

Xiao Yun only felt that the purple light flashed in front of him, his lower abdomen was cold, and his heart was like a mirror, and he immediately let go of his hands holding the rocks and rushed towards the lake.

At this time, the surface of the lake is turbulent, the huge waves are several meters high, countless bubbles rise from the bottom of the lake, and the whole lake is like a pot of boiling water, and at the same time as this terrifying scene, the lake level continues to fall.

As soon as Xiao Yun got out of the lake, he immediately climbed up to the shore.

He had to climb because the lake had fallen by half a foot as the water poured in, and it was still falling.

Dragging a wet tree root, Xiao Yun finally climbed to the shore and immediately lay on his back on the grass, panting heavily. After his breath slowly stabilized, he stroked his lower abdomen and suddenly laughed softly.

The purple light was transformed by a huge ball, and at this time it became the size of a walnut, and it was quietly in Xiao Yun's lower abdomen.

However, after entering Xiao Yun's abdomen, the purple light on the ball immediately dissipated and turned into pitch black again, except that the surface was still covered with dense lines, there seemed to be nothing special.

But Xiao Yun knew that this black ball, which had become inconspicuous, had an incomparable absorption effect on the drunkenness that would make any drinker a big headache!

"I'll rely on it in the future. Xiao Yun smiled and slowly got up.

He glanced at the clothes on the grass and walked over. Fortunately, the clothes were placed far from the shore, and they were not splashed by the spilled lake, so he put them on slowly, tore off a corner of the clothes, and wrapped his right hand, which had stopped bleeding.

At this time, the lake surface has slowly calmed down, but the entire lake surface is still fluctuating violently, bubbles are constantly rising, and the entire lake level has dropped by more than a zhang high.
