Volume 1 Demon Country Languo Chapter 7: Exchanging Life for Talent!
After reading the stele, Duoduo was shocked and couldn't help but sigh that Liu Zisang's blind cat had met a dead mouse, not only did he feel this way, but others would probably feel the same way here.
But then again, if Liu Zisang hadn't been looking for Lanqiao Town for three years like an idiot, no matter how great the opportunity was, it would never have fallen on him.
According to the inscription, the bronze gate only appears at the turn of twilight.
In other words, there may be some coincidence and a little luck here, but there is too little luck in it. Even if Liu Zisang doesn't find it today, if he keeps looking for it, he will find this place sooner or later.
Therefore, if you really want to calculate it carefully, I am afraid that it is not simply a matter of luck.
In the midst of many thoughts, Liu Zisang took a deep breath, tried to calm the turbulent mood in his heart, and when his little face gradually became calm, he stretched out a small hand and gently touched the stone tablet.
A cold and hard feeling came from the surface of the stele, and Liu Zisang calmed down and slowly injected demonic power.
After a few breaths, as more and more demonic power was injected, the stone tablet shone slightly, and a soft halo emanated, illuminating the two of them.
As if sensing the change of the stone monument, the light formed by the small hole in the ceiling of the cave suddenly expanded, from the area that originally covered the stone monument to illuminate the entire cave! Even Liu Zi-san and Duoduo are shrouded in it.
When he entered, the light was like evening sunshine, and the light was dim and cloudy.
Now it was as bright as day, as dazzling as the noonday sun, as warm as the noonday sun, and piercing the eyes. Ling Liu Zisang and Duoduo had to squint their eyes and reach out to block some of the light to relieve the pain.
Then a bizarre scene happened.
The sun shines on the surrounding water surface, the sparkling water ripples are reflected on the roof of the cave, with the small hole as the center, dense words suddenly emerge and spread all over the stone cave, and it seems to be some kind of exercise at a rough glance.
"What is this word?" Duoduo wondered, these words were extremely similar to bone inscriptions, but they were not bone inscriptions.
"I think I've seen this kind of word somewhere, it seems to be...... Ancient seals. Liu Zisang looked at the simple atmosphere on the top of the cave, and the dignified and majestic words, and inexplicably felt a little familiar and even cordial in his heart, and said softly.
He probably hadn't seen such a word, but for some reason, he could call out the name and understand it.
"Ancient seal?"
What is the word for ancient seal? Duoduo scratched his head, full of question marks, but since Liu Zisang could understand it, it was naturally a good thing. As for why he can understand it, he doesn't care.
At this time, a sentence gradually appeared on the stele.
"It is recorded here that I obtained the ancient exercises of the human race by chance, called 'Taixuan Sutra'! This method is useless to me, but it is quite miraculous, I leave it useless, it is a pity to abandon it, so I will give it to someone who is destined......"
"What, Terran exercises? Really, is there really a human race in the world? ”
Duoduo couldn't help but scream, his face was full of surprise, and Liu Zisang was also shocked, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.
The stele is too shocking, you must know that this is a great wilderness, except for the demon or the demon, although the people of the demon clan who have turned into human form are basically the same as people, but the demon is a demon, and a person is a human, after all, there is a difference.
Liu Zisang had heard that there were other creatures such as human races outside the Great Wilderness, but he had only heard of it, and had never seen it, so that it was doubtful whether it really existed.
Now, there is a technique from the human race that appears in front of the two of them, and it is a senior powerhouse of the fifth realm who said this, it seems that there really is a human race in the world, so the two of them can't believe it.
The stele flashed slightly, and a line of large characters appeared.
“…… The Taixuan Sutra has no offensive and defensive uses...... The only function of this sutra is to make an unqualified person become gifted, reshape his meridians, and even change his physique! If you want to compare, its effect is a hundred times better than washing tendons and cutting the marrow, which is comparable to being reborn and reborn! ”
"This technique is a technique against the sky, so it is not without a price, those who practice this technique need to burn their own longevity in exchange for qualifications, the higher the talent, the more longevity will be lost!"
Liu Zisang's pupils shrank suddenly, and his heart pounded: "Can you change the skills of your talent?" Is there such a miraculous practice in the world? ”
The little face couldn't help but show joy, these words were like a small pebble suddenly thrown into the lake of his calm heart, but it was no less than setting off a monstrous wave!
"It's just that the price is really high, but ...... If you can really exchange it for the qualification to defy the sky, what if you exchange your life? There is nothing else for the people of the demon clan, but they are long-lived! Liu Zisang groaned slightly, and after several changes in his little face, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
Liu Zisang hesitated to say his intention to Duoduo, and Duoduo jumped to his feet as expected, looking incredulous.
"You want to practice this exercise? Are you crazy, this is the Terran exercise, you are a demon, can you cultivate? Duoduo pointed to the stele and shouted.
Hearing this, Liu Zisang took a deep breath, and said with a little bitterness on his little face: "Duoduo, you know, why did I come out to look for opportunities......
"I was born with too low qualifications, and since I was born, they told me that I am not suitable for cultivation, and I can only be an ordinary person." A trace of pain flashed in Liu Zisan's eyes.
"You know, my cultivation has been at the low level of the Desolate Spirit Realm all these years, and I have barely made any progress. I stopped for too long, it was so long that it made people desperate, and it almost made me give up my cultivation......"
"Suddenly, one day, I heard that some magical places hide some adventures, and maybe they can change my qualifications...... So I began to search desperately, frantically, for the rumored adventure! I hope to change all of this and let me cultivate! ”
Duoduo was silent and silent for a long time.
Speaking of this, Liu Zisang chuckled: "Don't you think it's a bit ridiculous?" I also think it's ridiculous to pin my hopes on this kind of ethereal ...... There is little hope in sight, but I have no choice, no other way......"
Liu Zisang looked straight into Duoduo's eyes, and there was a sadness in his eyes that Duoduo had never seen before, which made people's hearts twist fiercely, like a knife.
Duoduo's whole body was shocked, looking at Liu Zisang's immature little face, and seeing something different on it for the first time.
He always thought that Liu Zisang was a happy child, and like other children, he thought that the bullshit opportunity to find Na Laoshzi was just a whim, hot-headed, and the momentum would be good as soon as it passed.
But I never thought about what this meant to Liu Zisan.
"This is my only hope! Now that hope is placed in front of me, how can you pretend not to see it! Even though...... It's fake, so what! Liu Zisang shouted hoarsely, but in just one sentence, it seemed to have exhausted the last trace of strength.
Duoduo was silent for a long time, and his heart couldn't be calm for a long time, it seemed that he acquiesced to Liu Zisang and didn't say anything to stop him.
"This says that you want to exchange Shou Yuan, even then you have to cultivate?" After a while, Duoduo still couldn't help but say.
Liu Zisang smiled and comforted: "Didn't you say that the people of our demon clan have always had a long life, don't worry, I won't die so easily." ”
"What's more...... I don't have anything to exchange, the only thing worth it is this life. ”
Leaving this sentence, Liu Zisang used his hand as a knife to make a cut in the palm of his hand, and a touch of red slowly flowed out and pressed it on the stone tablet.
The red blood seemed to have been absorbed by the stone stele, leaving no traces of blood, but instead bringing the entire cave to life, and the reflection of the water lines on the top of the cave was blazing, and the words were more condensed, flowing like substance.
Then sit down in front of the stele, learn the words written on the top of the cave, start pranayama meditation, and close your eyes to practice.
After Liu Zisang touched the stele, the entire cave had changed, and the surrounding water surface flashed with strange streamers, flowing slowly, and a secret door appeared in the water.
The water is a dark river and an outlet from a cave, and the outlet has been opened.
Duoduo looked at Liu Zisang's back and sighed lightly, turned around and jumped into the water, since he had made up his mind not to dissuade him anymore, Duoduo naturally would not stay here to disturb Liu Zisang.
In the next few days, whenever the sky was slightly silent and the sky was about to darken, Liu Zisang had already come to the Honglan Bridge and jumped into the river with a plop.
"Zisang boy, what are you doing?"
On the shore, an old man surnamed Xu, who knew Liu Zisang, was walking on crutches, Liu Zisang had somehow often come to the bridge to hang around recently, and he always jumped into the river, and he couldn't help but be a little suspicious.
Seeing Liu Zisang jumping into the river again, he suddenly opened his cloudy old eyes and said loudly.
You must know that at this time, Liu Zisang has already returned to the tree valley to be busy eating.
"Catch fish."
Liu Zisang dropped this sentence, his body was as agile as a swimming fish, and he swam away after a while.
"What fish are you catching so late?" Old man Xu was puzzled, and just wanted to ask again, but he couldn't see the figure anymore, only a splash of water that gradually disappeared.
"This stinky boy doesn't respect the old at all! I didn't expect that the water was good, and this kung fu would be gone. ”
Old man Xu stomped on his crutches with some indignation, and had to turn around and leave.
In the underwater cave, Liu Zisang meditates cross-legged.
The Taixuan Sutra is obscure and esoteric, and it took Liu Zisang nearly a week to memorize it all.
But there are also gains, Liu Zisang can clearly feel some changes in his body.
When the demonic qi is operated according to the running route of the Taixuan Sutra, many of the originally blocked meridians slowly become unblocked, and after each week, the meridians of the whole body seem to have been baptized.
The speed of absorbing the aura of heaven and earth became faster, and the demonic power became more and more pure and strong.
Although the process is extremely slow, the changes are real.
As for the reduction of life expectancy mentioned by Taixuanjing, Liu Zisang doesn't feel much, maybe he is still young now, his life is very long, and he can't feel the subtle changes in each.
However, there is another thing, Liu Zisang is a little puzzled, the Taixuan Sutra is a human exercise, he is a demon, how can he practice it?
It has been rumored since ancient times that the demons have different paths, and the human race and the demon race have an essential difference, and they are completely different creatures, so the meridians and physique are completely different, and it is naturally impossible to practice each other's exercises and spells.
But Liu Zisang succeeded in practicing, which is really a strange thing. Fortunately, there are very few people who know about this, and it is just him and Duoduo, and no outsiders know about it, so it is not a big deal.
When Liu Zisang wrote down the last word on the last day, the words on the top of the cave turned into countless tiny points of light and gradually dissipated, and the stone tablet gradually returned to calm, leaving only the ordinary reflection of water patterns on the top of the cave.
It's time to leave.
Staring at the already dim stone stele, Liu Zisang's little face became extremely solemn, and then he knelt on his knees and kowtowed respectfully to the stone stele three times.
The cave became empty again, deserted, as if no one had ever come, the only difference was that there was an extra string of sugar gourds on the ancient stone tablet that had eaten two bites and were still delicate.
The days of one man and one ape have returned to normal life.
Every day I hunt and look for wild fruits, sleep until three poles in the morning, go to the town for a walk when I have nothing to do, or wander around, occasionally sell the prey I have hunted, buy some necessities of life and return to the tree valley.
It's all the same, but with a little bit of change.
Liu Zisang no longer has to look for any big opportunities in the town like headless flies every two or three days, and the people in the town say that Zisang has changed his sex and become normal.
Of course, there is one more thing that Liu Zisang must do every day, which is to cultivate the Taixuan Sutra.
Unexpectedly, the Taixuan Sutra is not as difficult to cultivate as imagined, on the contrary, this Sutra seems to be specially born for people who have no qualifications, and they can cultivate even if they have no qualifications.
The Taixuan Sutra is divided into three layers, and it took Liu Zisang two months to barely enter the first level, and then it will be difficult to enter an inch.
I can't cultivate to the second level anymore.
Despite this, Liu Zi-san was still very satisfied, and he clearly felt that his bottleneck had loosened for the first time, and there were signs of a breakthrough.
He was pleasantly surprised, and that was enough.
