Chapter 1: The Gift of the Black Shadow
In the dark cave, strange rocks are craggy, and moss grows messily on the stone walls.
The inside of the cave is extremely damp and uncomfortable.
At this time, a group of people tightly surrounded a teenager who fell to the ground and fell unconscious, with an anxious face.
"Jade Dragon, Jade Dragon ......"
There was a low voice of arousal, and the young man lying on the ground moved his fingers slightly, gradually waking up from his coma.
Xu Yulong tried to open his eyes, and what he saw was a sallow and emaciated face, his face full of worry.
"Jade Dragon, you're finally awake! That dog thing is so heavy, I thought it was ...... Thank you, thank you! ”
A woman with a thin yellow face, dirty body, and messy hair covered her face and cried in a low voice.
Behind her, a little girl of seven or eight years old timidly hugged her arms tightly, and her big eyes were full of fear.
She didn't dare to make too much noise, because if it was too loud, a mob would beat him violently.
Xu Yulong grinned, and suddenly touched the injury on his chest, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, but he still reluctantly smiled: "Don't worry, my body is bad, it's not a big deal to be beaten!" ”
"Humph! But it's Xiao God who beat you, you have always regarded him as your own brother, but I didn't expect him to be such a backbone! ”
An old man slammed the cane in his hand, his face was full of anger, and he said: "It is not a pity that such a person dies as a dog for the cult!" ”
Xu Yulong smiled bitterly, but didn't say anything.
Not long ago, the cult disciples who invaded the village took a fancy to this little girl and wanted to use it.
So he stepped forward and bit the cult disciple to the death.
Although he was young and physically strong, how could he be the opponent of a cult disciple who had set foot in cultivation?
He was knocked to the ground in three or two strokes, and several ribs were broken by kicking.
It happened that Xiao Tian came to deliver food to the villagers, and when he saw this scene, he flew up and kicked Xu Yulong, who was struggling to get up, to the ground, and cleaned him up very fiercely, and directly beat him until he fell unconscious and unconscious.
Then he bowed to the cult disciples with a sneer on his face, flattering and trying to survive.
Just before Xu Yulong fell unconscious, Xiao Tian suddenly leaned over and slapped him hard, and at the same time, he felt that Xiao Tian seemed to have stuffed something into his arms!
Xu Yulong hurriedly reached out and touched his arms, feeling a hard and cold object in his arms.
Before he could feel it carefully, the thing trembled slightly, cut his fingers, and then disappeared directly.
Xu Yulong suddenly felt the sky collapse for a while, and he passed out again, and the concerned calls of the villagers sounded in his ears.
I don't know how long it took, but the vertigo of weightlessness finally disappeared, and I saw the light again.
Xu Yulong looked around and was shocked to find that except for a straight path in front of him, which seemed to reach the sky, there was a thick fog all around.
After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and reached out to touch the mist, as if it had been cut by thousands of fine sword blades, and it instantly became bloody.
Xu Yulong was in pain, hurriedly withdrew his palm, looked at the fine wound on his finger, and fell into deep thought.
"Where is this? How did I suddenly end up in such a strange place? ”
Xu Yulong's mind flashed, his eyes lit up, and he muttered, "Is it because of the thing that Brother Xiao Tian stuffed into me?" ”
Xu Yulong's nose suddenly became sour, and he felt that the grievances in his heart had a place to vent.
"I knew that Brother Xiaotian would definitely not be a traitor, he must have a hard time! Otherwise, why sneak things into me? ”
After a long time, Xu Yulong cleaned up his mood and looked at the path in front of him.
The path is just made of very simple bluestone slabs, as if after a long time, wind and sun, eroded by the years, the surface of the small potholes are uneven.
At first glance, it has a sense of age, but it is still immortal!
The bluestone slabs are one step after another, densely packed, and there is no end in sight.
It is as if standing at the foot of a majestic mountain and looking at the path leading to the top of the mountain is very shocking.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Yulong raised his foot and stepped on the first bluestone slab.
The next second, he stumbled to the ground.
Because he felt a huge repulsion emanating from the bluestone slab, preventing his feet from falling!
What's going on?
"Dang!"
A grand bell rang, and a strong will invaded Xu Yulong's mind.
"If you want to climb the mountain, please reach the strongest in each realm!"
Xu Yulong's face was full of horror and found that on the originally clean bluestone road, a pitch-black figure was standing on every step at this time.
At the feet of the black shadow, there is a strange scene that constantly rises and falls.
Broken soldiers and broken swords, mountains of corpses and a sea of blood!
Endless corpses crawled under the feet of each black shadow!
Xu Yulong swallowed his saliva with difficulty, thinking, "Could it be that mountaineering will also kill people?" If you want to climb the mountain, you have to challenge the dark shadow on each step? Are those creeping corpses at the feet of the black shadows the ones who have failed the challenge? ”
Why is this mountain so terrifying!
And there is only this path forward, and behind it is a mist with countless blades.
There is no turning back!
Xu Yulong was a little timid for a while, but when he thought of the villagers who were suffering in dire straits, his eyes instantly became firm.
"Every realm? Does it refer to the realm of cultivation? ”
Although he knew some things about cultivation, he didn't know how to do it!
Brother Xiaotian told him that if you want to practice, you must have a "method"!
The initial stage of cultivation is the "Three Refining Realms".
Refining skin and flesh, refining bones and blood, refining spirit!
The Three Refining Realm is not a simple way to strengthen the body, it can be easily achieved after breaking through the limits of physical energy.
It's like the first refining, after refining the skin and flesh, you can ignore the ordinary sword slash, which is very good.
Xu Yulong believed that as long as he obtained the cultivation method of the Three Refining Realm, he would definitely be able to practice it in the shortest possible time!
In this way, there will be self-protection power, and it will also give the villagers a little peace of mind.
But where to engage in the method of the Three Refining Realms?
Xu Yulong was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks.
Suddenly, Xu Yulong's eyes lit up, staring thoughtfully at the black shadow on the first step, and he laughed.
After a few false pats of the dust on his body, Xu Yulong slowly walked in front of the black shadow and said very seriously: "If I step into the Three Refining Realm, I will definitely be able to defeat you easily!" ”
Something unexpected happened.
The black shadow that stood there as if it had not changed for thousands of years actually twisted its neck slightly, looking down at the young man who was not afraid to look at him, and his hazy face seemed to evoke a hint of mockery.
"Just you? A guy who can't get started in the three refining realms? I crush you like an ant! ”
The sound is loud and deafening, as if it has come from an endless time and space.
Xu Yulong suppressed the shock in his heart, tried to keep the smile on his face unchanged, and chuckled: "Of course! As long as you give me this chance! ”
"Do you want to ask me for a way to practice? Wish for the moon! Opportunities are created by oneself, so why should they be given by others! ”
The black shadow was a little annoyed, and felt that such a ridiculous guy really didn't know what to do!
Xu Yulong was not intimidated, but smiled confidently and said loudly: "Of course, the opportunity was created by myself, otherwise, why am I standing in front of you and not others?" ”
The shadow fell silent, then laughed, "It's kind of interesting! In the past 10,000 years, I have defeated the challengers of the Three Refining Realm, and I have never been defeated! Today's whim, talking to you on a whim is also rewarding! ”
"That's it! I'll give you this chance! ”
"After a closer look, I found that I still have a little relationship with your ancestors! I will teach you the Three Refining Realm methods of your ancestors! ”
As he spoke, the black shadow stretched out his finger, and a golden light poured into Xu Yulong's spiritual platform.
Xu Yulong felt the three refining methods that unfolded in the spirit platform, and he was overwhelmed, and a trace of excitement flashed on his face.
"However, since I have given something, you should also repay it!"
Xu Yulong's face stiffened, and he stammered, "What...... What newspaper? ”
"Since you said that you can easily defeat me by stepping into the Three Refining Realm, then repay me for the taste of failure! For 10,000 years, I have never tasted the pain of failure, so let me repay it with this. ”
Xu Yulong touched the cold sweat on his forehead, and said cautiously: "What will happen if you fail?" I'm talking about what I failed......"
The black shadow stopped talking, and stomped lightly on the soles of his feet, which suddenly set off a bloody storm.
Xu Yulong shrank his neck and said to himself, "Come on, I know!" Isn't it just a death......"
"Seven days later, I will face you with the first refining!"
Xu Yulong waved his hand weakly: "I know, I know, seven days is enough time for me to help the villagers escape, and then I will defeat you!" ”
"Don't be ashamed!"
After that, the black shadow stomped his foot, and Xu Yulong felt that the world was spinning again......
"Your sister, it's over, isn't it? You're going to stomp your feet, right? When the time comes, when the master stomps his feet, he will also let you lie down! ”
