Volume 1 The Covenant of Life and Death Section 47 Tempering the Divine Soldier
Xiao Anyi used the trick of escaping at the critical moment when the flames overwhelmed him, and his body instantly escaped into the void, so in the eyes of outsiders, no living creature could survive at this temperature, and he didn't even emit a little bit of green smoke, and it turned into nothing.
There is only one stick of incense, and in the lava, he is also a dead end. Xiao Anyi was anxious, but he was calmer, wanting to seek a glimmer of life in a desperate situation.
He spotted the black hole in the gap, and fell into it decisively, surrounded by hot lava surging upwards, and he slowly sank into the black hole. It seems that the cave is surrounded by invisible qi, making it impossible for lava to get close.
The time of a stick of incense is not long, and the black hole seems to be endless, reaching the center of the earth. But Xiao Anyi didn't have time, and when the word trick failed, even if he didn't turn into ashes, he would be roasted into charcoal by the astonishing temperature.
There is always an end to the time of a stick of incense, and the trick of escaping is invalid, and Xiao Anyi's long hair instantly dries up and smells scorched. A wall of dirt suddenly appeared on the left side, and Xiao Anyi was not very happy, because no matter how deep his skill was, he couldn't penetrate the deep stratum in the air.
The hot and stinging sensation of his skin came, and Xiao Anyi knew that he was about to burn, and the fat of the human body would also spontaneously combust under this high temperature.
There was a loud bang from inside the wall, and a huge force broke through the hole in the shape of a human figure. There's actually a living creature inside the walls?! Xiao Anyi was hit by the cracked stone and fell to the lava surging into the sky.
That momentum turned into suction again, sucking Xiao Anyi into that black hole. The corridor in the cave is actually very long, and Xiao Anyi has been attracted to fly for a long time, and there is no end in sight. What kind of monster can survive underground and between lava? What kind of monster has such earth-shattering power that can instantly pierce through a mile-thick earthen wall? Xiao Anyi was secretly frightened, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse, whether the other party was kind or malicious, but at least temporarily exempted from the fate of being turned into charcoal.
The man stood naked, standing tall above the heavens and the earth, proud of all beings. That gaze is like looking at people with his nose and eyes, if it weren't for the fact that he was a fool, he was definitely a person who was so arrogant that he looked a little funny now.
It's actually a person! Xiao Anyi felt a little subverted of his imagination, even if there was a legendary mythical bird phoenix living underground, he was not so shocked by the fact that there was no one living there. Under this kind of Jedi, ordinary people can't even get close, how did he survive? How long did it survive?
The man had a handsome face, a white beard and hair, and his skin was bronze in the red lava. His eyes were cloudy, but his skin was firm, his muscles were beautiful, and he was even very energetic in some places. Based on these appearances, Xiao Anyi couldn't guess the age of this strange person at all, only knew that if this person dyed his beard black, he could still capture the hearts of a large number of young girls and young women in the rivers and lakes. This person's demonic charm is full of masculinity, and the feminine Gongwu is two completely different extremes.
"My name is Zhuge Hongyi, child, please introduce yourself." The man looked down at Xiao Anyi with his hands and said. He's not tall, but he just likes to stand on a slightly higher spot and look down on people. He believed that the people who were able to come here and still be alive must have heard of him, so he only said one name and did not introduce himself too much, he was so confident, or conceited.
Zhuge Hongyi? Isn't it more than 300 years old? Will anyone be able to live for more than 300 years, or in such extreme conditions? With Xiao Anyi's temperament, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and he was a little stunned, and forgot to answer Zhuge Hongyi's question.
Zhuge Hongyi was a little irritable, he didn't have shoes, he paced barefoot on the ground covered with rubble, and he didn't make a sound to urge Xiao Anyi, what Zhuge Hongyi said, never said it a second time.
"Junior Xiaoxiang disciple Xiao Anyi." Xiao Anyi saluted respectfully and said. Facing the senior masters who only existed in legends, he had to bow his head respectfully. The corner of his eye looked around, avoiding the greatness of his predecessors, and found that he was still in a road, but it seemed to have existed for a long time, and behind Zhuge Hongyi, there was no end in sight.
"Xiaoxiang faction?" Zhuge Hongyi pondered hard in his mind, and a face that he hated slowly emerged, and he snorted coldly, "Is Yi Chaoran still alive?" The only one who can handle the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect is him. ”
"Senior Yi is still fine, but he lives alone and returns to the Wild Goose Pagoda to escape the world, and he hasn't gone downstairs for nearly a hundred years." Xiao Anyi replied honestly. He felt that Zhuge Hongyi seemed to be kind, and he thought that anyone who had lived in this dark underground for so long would be a little nervous.
"Come with me!" Zhuge Hongyi turned around and left.
Xiao Anyi pressed all kinds of doubts in his heart, and obediently followed Zhuge Hongyi into the dark cave.
The road actually stretched for several miles, but it continued to extend downward, and I don't know how far away it was from the ground at the moment, and the thick and oppressive soil layer above his head made Xiao Anyi a little depressed.
Suddenly, a huge platform appeared, obviously where Zhuge Hongyi lived, the boiler stove, beds, tables and chairs were all made of earth, and in the depths of the earth, there was only the material of soil. If clay can make clothes, Zhuge seniors should not be hanging.
In the middle of the platform is where Zhuge Hongyi works, and the magical landscape makes Xiao Anyi admire again. On the left, a crimson flame flowed into the middle of the pool, and on the right, salty seawater flowed out, and it also pooled on a floating black sword in the pool, and the seawater instantly evaporated and turned into water vapor and smoke. It turns out that Zhuge Hongyi is so refining divine soldiers! Xiao Anyi said secretly, this Bingjian is actually still in the shape of a sword blank, but I don't know how many times Zhuge Hongyi has been tempered in the past three hundred years, if this sword is born, it will definitely be earth-shattering and the world will tremble.
If it weren't for obsession and love, who would be able to knock and bang boringly in this invisible underground for a hundred years.
"When the seawater evaporates and is collected, it's the fresh water I quote. My food is to suck the fish and shrimp from the sea, just like sucking you in. Zhuge Hongyi said. He felt that this Xiaoxiang disciple always looked like he had never seen the world and was not very smart, so he had to explain it to him.
"My predecessors were extraordinary people, and they did extraordinary things. The younger generation admired. Xiao Anyi said adoringly, "If you are a junior, you can endure the poor living conditions, but the boredom and loneliness are the torment of bone-loving, which cannot be beared." ”
"You think I want to?!" Zhuge Hongyi glared dryly and said, "I have tried countless times to find a way out of the Ascension to Heaven, but it is still in vain. If it weren't for this sword, Lao Tzu would have been killed by a headlong crash! ”
"Huh? Yes! Wouldn't you be able to get out of the next place?! Xiao Anyi smiled bitterly.
"You are luckier than Lao Tzu, your life is not that long." Zhuge Hongyi said lightly.
"The predecessors are indeed long-lived, and it is appalling." Xiao Anyi said.
"There's no way, a peerless genius like me, my cultivation skills are too profound, and I have slowed down aging." Zhuge Hongyi said proudly, his words turned again, and he sighed, "But people are not immortals after all, and immortals will be hidden, let alone mortals?" Lao Tzu is also about to run out of oil and the lamp will dry up, and he won't last long, but fortunately you arrived in time! ”
"The seniors are in good health, so don't worry too much." Xiao Anyi said, he was still thinking about the meaning of Zhuge Hongyi's words, what did he mean by coming in time? Will he be able to inherit his mantle after his death and continue to refine the divine soldiers?
To be honest, it would be false to be able to meet this kind of senior master, to say that it is not heartbeating, and that you don't want to get the chance of adventure. Picking out so little bit of people's fingers is enough to make themselves infinitely useful!
"Normally, Lao Tzu is dying, of course, you have to pass on some things, and a young man like you is the most suitable." Zhuge Hongyi said lightly, "The best choice is that I pass on all my hundreds of years of skills to you before I die, and you can have a long time. ”
Isn't it? Xiao Anyi said secretly.
"You're thinking too much!" Zhuge Hongyi said coldly, "The older people get, the more afraid of death they are, I have no relatives and no reason with you, why do I want to pass on my skills to you?!" Besides, I will die after the power is passed on to you, in order to live one more minute, one second, Lao Tzu will also do whatever it takes, how can I sacrifice myself in order to fulfill your little brat! ”
Xiao Anyi felt that what he said made sense, so he only smiled bitterly.
"I said that you are here because I have not succeeded in forging swords for so many years. It's because I didn't have the ability to sacrifice a single life. A wicked smile appeared on the corner of Zhuge Hongyi's mouth, and he said, "I myself am reluctant to sacrifice my life in the sea of fire, so I have to wait for you to complete this arduous task!" ”
Do you want to sacrifice your own sword? Xiao Anyi had actually guessed his intentions a little, so he wasn't too surprised, and nodded lightly.
"You agree?" Zhuge Hongyi was surprised.
"Can the juniors disagree?" Xiao Anyi asked with a smile.
"Of course not, how can you be the old man's opponent!" Zhuge Hongyi said with a glare.
"Isn't that, anyway, the lives of the juniors were saved by the seniors, so they should be returned to the seniors." Xiao Anyi said lightly.
"I just realized that you are a very interesting little friend, and I even want to change my original intention and teach you all my skills." Zhuge Hongyi sighed, "But the husband will do what he says, and what I said must be fulfilled." ”
He grabbed Xiao Anyi's back collar and lifted him up. Xiao Anyi clasped his hands so as not to resist, and watched Zhuge Hongyi's movements with great interest, as if he was still full of curiosity about the method of sacrifice.
Zhuge Hongyi secretly admired his courage, but he didn't mean to change his mind, so he threw Xiao Anyi into the flaming sword training pool.
