Great Elder Yuan Jie
After the breakthrough, Bruce Lee stopped at the right time and did not continue to cultivate. Because he noticed that although the battle qi in his body was majestic, it seemed frivolous compared to the beginning. The feeling is like mercury and foam, one heavy, the other fluttering.
"Sure enough, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it. It seems that it will take some time to condense the actual combat spirit. Otherwise, put the cart before the horse, and regret it too late. ”
Bruce Lee secretly admonished.
He couldn't understand the truth of going too far. If it weren't for the appointment with the Nange Lord in advance, even if he had the opportunity, he would never be in such a hurry. Fortunately, the current battle qi cultivation is not deep, and it is still extremely malleable. As long as he plays steadily and steadily, he will be stable to the extreme, and there is still a chance to recover the decline.
After figuring out this, Bruce Lee was relieved. Since it took time for the foundation of the battle qi to be consolidated, he could use this time to further explore the mysteries of physical arts.
Bruce Lee, who was relaxed, put on his clothes and prepared to go down the mountain while thinking about the physical skills that were about to arrive. However, when he was about to leave, he had another idea.
The undisturbed Spirit Lake is as quiet as a picture scroll. Lingyun turned into water, blending into it from time to time, and it did not cause ripples.
Turning his gaze to the center of the Spirit Lake, the silence and depth caught his gaze. Bruce Lee was curious: "Freezing three feet is not a day's cold." Linghu Lake has been formed for hundreds of years, to say the least. I wonder what the bottom of the lake will look like? ”
Once his curiosity is pulled, ten cows can't pull it. The thumb wiped the tip of his nose, and he saw that he plunged into the Spirit Lake without the slightest hesitation.
However, in this process, he must shield himself from absorbing spiritual power, otherwise this thick spiritual liquid under the water will definitely burst his cyclone in an instant.
Swim straight to the bottom of the lake. Although the lake water is formed by the spiritual power of heaven and earth, water is water, and even if it does not hinder breathing, the pressure is real. As Bruce Lee descended, the rising pressure also followed, and far exceeded the ordinary water pressure.
The further he dived, the darker his vision became, until he reached a depth of 100 meters, and he could barely discern the environment with his eyes. Fortunately, Bruce Lee only needs to judge up and down according to the pressure. Under the pressure of crescendo, he resolutely continued to go deeper.
Finally, when the pressure around him was close to the limit of what he could bear, Bruce Lee suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a glimmer of light coming from the bottom of the dark lake.
"It's weird."
According to his judgment, the light can be seen at the bottom of such a dense lake, and it is getting clearer and clearer, and the distance should not be too far.
The mind moved. Bruce Lee, who was about 100 meters deep into the Spirit Lake, began to gradually turn dark red. When the last trace of irritable battle qi in his body merged into his muscles, he suddenly felt the pressure around him plummet. With the help of this force, Bruce Lee went straight to the bottom of the lake. The swaying point of light gradually became clear.
A minute later, when Bruce Lee, blessed by the battle spirit, was almost unbearable. The front was suddenly full of brilliance, and he only felt that his body was light, and the pressure and buoyancy around him were all dissipated. Gravitational returned, and the whole person fell straight down.
Tens of meters of free fall is nothing to Bruce Lee now. Deftly landed, he instinctively looked up, and was shocked to find that the 100 meters above his head was like a ceiling formed by a water wave, deep as ink, full of rhythm, strange and extraordinary.
After calming down, Bruce Lee looked around curiously. The walls are inlaid with many light sources the size of human heads, like irregular night pearls, setting off the world at the bottom of the lake as if it were day.
On the side of the lake bottom, there is a cave several meters square. Compared with this huge mountainside space, it looks much smaller and darker.
After tidying up his clothes, Bruce Lee was not worried about danger. First, this is the Pavilion of the Holy Spirit. Second, these lighting is clearly man-made, not untouched. According to his own brain supplement, this was probably the ultimate cultivation place developed by the Holy Spirit Pavilion.
This is not unfounded. After all, the entire Holy Spirit Peak, from the bottom up, is used for disciple cultivation. Coupled with the arrangement here, and the spiritual lake that has greatly benefited it. If you really want to talk about it, it makes sense.
Now that he has arrived, of course Bruce Lee wants to find out. In the empty belly of the mountain, the sound of cold footsteps echoed. After about half an hour, the light came back on.
"Huh! This is? ”
Following Bruce Lee's gaze, at the end of the passage was a large stone chamber. In the center, there is a round stone platform engraved with runes. And on the stone platform, a humanoid skeleton dressed in a robe caught his attention.
This robe is very familiar, and it is the same as the clothes of the pavilion masters. It's just printed on the chest, replaced with a striking "big" word.
Bruce Lee has always been bold. When he saw this skeleton sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, not only was he not afraid, but he strode forward and stopped in front of the stone platform. Looking at this fairly complete skeleton, you don't have to think about it to know that it must be one of the elders of the Holy Spirit Pavilion in the past.
Although Bruce Lee is arrogant, he also knows how to respect the elders and the young. Moreover, he has always had an inexplicable respect for such selfless ancestors.
Looking directly at the dry bones in front of him, another figure appeared in Bruce Lee's mind. It was an emaciated old man, but it influenced and changed his life.
Memories are always sad, let alone Bruce Lee, who was reincarnated. couldn't help but kneel down and solemnly kowtow to this dry bone three times. This worship is not only a tribute to the elders of the Holy Spirit Pavilion, but also a tribute to the distant past.
Look up after the salute.
Bruce Lee suddenly screamed like an electric shock, and crawled back several meters in a row. Because at this moment, he saw the skeleton that seemed to be going to fall apart at any moment, and was laughing at him.
That's right, it's laughter, silent laughter.
This strange scene, even if his mind is as resolute as his, he can't help but feel cold to his bones. This kind of terrifying thing frightened Bruce Lee for the first time in his life.
But that's just the beginning. It seems to be because he laughs too much and has loose bones. The skeleton accidentally knocked his jaw off. Coincidentally, it happened to roll down in front of Bruce Lee.
Seeing this, he instinctively kicked away his jaw, which was still shaking, and said in a trembling voice: "You... Why... What the hell is it... What is it? ”
Not to mention Bruce Lee, even if you are the cabinet, the lord suddenly saw such a scene, I am afraid that he would be surprised.
With the crisp sound of "rattle", the dry bone palm picked up the jaw that was kicked back by Bruce Lee, and the skeleton man directly took it back to its original place, and said: "Gurgle... It's been a long time since I've seen a living person, so I'm so excited. "It's just that it sounds mechanical.
Although this scene is a little weird, it can be communicated. In addition to being frightened, Bruce Lee also regained a little composure, and said: "This is the main peak of the Holy Spirit Pavilion, aren't you the ancestors of the past dynasties?" Disciple Bruce Lee has no intention of offending, if you are disturbed, please forgive me! Bruce Lee stared at the skeleton and was ready to turn around and run away.
Under his shocked gaze, the skeleton stood up directly, emitting a series of sharp "creaks" in the empty stone chamber. Facing Bruce Lee, who was like a great enemy, the skeleton looked very leisurely, and walked towards him with words in his mouth.
But after a few steps, its skull fell down with a clatter and rolled to Bruce Lee.
"Young man, please help me pick it up."
The skull that fell to the ground spoke to Bruce Lee. Not far away, his body was also waving his fragile arm at him, as if it might be broken at any moment.
This back-and-forth behavior made Bruce Lee cry or laugh. Cautiously staring at the skull on the ground, he tentatively touched it and asked, "Skeleton senior, you... Okay? ”
"It's okay, it's okay. The old man's body is stiff..."
As soon as he finished speaking, his jaw loosened and fell again.
“...”
In this regard, Bruce Lee was also speechless for a while.
However, being troubled by it like this, the fear in my heart has subsided a lot. Carefully handed his head over and said, "Senior, are you really okay?" ”
The skeleton twisted its neck and raised its hand to Bruce Lee's eyebrows. The latter wanted to hide, but found that he could not move at all.
Just as he was about to forcibly mobilize his battle qi and try to break through the confinement, the skeleton man in front of him waved his bones. In an instant, Bruce Lee only felt that the world was spinning. When he came back to his senses, the skeleton in front of him had turned into a thin, kind-eyed old man. But the robe printed with the word "big" on his body indicates that there must be a connection between the two.
At the same time, Bruce Lee also regained his mobility. Looking at the flesh-and-blood old man in front of him, he couldn't help but ask, "You were the skeleton just now... No... Just a senior? ”
Nodding with satisfaction, the old man stroked his beard and said, "A new student, you can actually break into here, and the old man is also quite interested in you." The old man's name is Yuan Jie, you can also call me the Great Elder. What you saw before is not real, but it is just a mental manipulation initiated by the old man. ”
"Great Elder? Mind manipulation? ”
Bruce Lee wondered. What I saw and felt before was as real as I was, if it was really as Yuan Jie said, then this kind of mental manipulation method was too terrifying.
As if he knew his thoughts, Yuan Jie smiled and asked, "That's right, are you interested?" ”
"Of course, I ask the Great Elder for advice."
In the pursuit of martial arts, Bruce Lee never pretentious, and immediately said without thinking.
Seeing Bruce Lee so crisp and solemn, Yuan Jie couldn't help laughing: "You answered refreshingly, and you didn't ask the old man what kind of conditions he had?" ”
Bowing to Yuan Jie with a fist, Bruce Lee said solemnly: "If the Great Elder has an order, if the disciple can do it, he will never refuse." If it is really beyond my ability, I am willing to share what I have learned for exchange. ”
Hearing this, the Great Elder was stunned for a moment, and then asked with great interest, "Oh? You are a little doll, what can you teach the old man? It's not easy to talk about the old man and be taught. ”
From his words, it is not difficult to hear a trace of dissatisfaction. Indeed, with the identity and strength of the Great Elder, there are really not many people who can make him happily teachable.
However, Bruce Lee didn't care. He has a strong belief in his martial arts thoughts. Even if there are countless people in this world whose strength is above him, it is only a difference in rank. But Bruce Lee didn't think that these people could surpass them in the realm of martial arts.
Looking directly at the Great Elder, Bruce Lee firmly touched the tip of his nose and said, "As the saying goes, there must be my teacher in a threesome, and I will choose the good one to follow." I'm a little guy who can still have this realization. With your old realm, you must not be as knowledgeable as my back, right? ”
Bruce Lee's not-so-heavy sycophant made Yuan Jie stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Haha... Good boy, no one has dared to talk to the old man like this for a long time. Let's not teach you, you say that the old man is not enlightened. Teach you, and just accept your heart. Cunning tightly! That said, the tone was full of appreciation.
Hearing this, Bruce Lee just chuckled and clasped his fists and saluted, but did not interject.
Brushing his white beard, Yuan Jie continued: "I can come here at a young age, and I can be regarded as having a relationship with the old man. In this way, the old man will respond to your communication, and see what you are capable of. ”
"Thank you Great Elder for your success, Bruce Lee is grateful."
Hearing this, Bruce Lee also smiled happily.
