Chapter 438: Guardian of the Rock
Poison Dragon Ridge.
The cave of the poisonous old man is located in a canyon in late autumn.
The cave is surrounded by huge rocks, like a natural barrier, isolating the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
The air in the cave was filled with a faint aroma of herbs.
Inside the cave, there is a wide stone platform with intricate patterns carved on it, which is said to be a magic circle used by the old man to practice poison.
There are some ancient scrolls and books placed next to the stone platform, on which the experience and perception of the poisonous old man are densely written.
At this time, a young man was sitting cross-legged beside the stone platform, his posture was straight, his eyebrows were clear, and it was Li Shuilong.
He closed his eyes and stared, as if he was sensing something. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and as soon as his body moved, he began to practice the thirteen forms of the poisonous hand.
His movements were lightning fast, and every subtle movement revealed a slight chill. With a flick of his finger, a poisonous needle shot accurately into the walls around the cave, and the movement of his fingers was barely visible.
His body rolled and jumped in the air, like a gecko moving freely across the rock wall. His steps were light and powerful, as if he could step on the air with every step, and he walked on the wall as if he were walking on the ground.
Originally, the old man of the poisonous hand only passed on the first six styles of Li Shuilong's thirteen poisonous hands, and did not mention the exercises in the back.
More than half a year ago, the old man with the poisonous hand went to a distant immortal secret realm, and his temperament changed greatly after he returned. He not only taught Li Shuilong all the stunts of the thirteen styles of the poisonous hand, but also taught him the stunt of hiding needles in his palm.
This surprised Li Shuilong, but he was not much moved, because he intuitively felt that the old man with a poisonous hand must have obtained stronger means, so he couldn't look down on the "Thirteen Styles of Poisonous Hands" created by himself, so he passed it on to himself without reservation.
Suddenly, a female disciple stepped forward to report: "Senior brother, someone from outside the cave has come to visit, and he wants to see the master by name." ”
Li Shuilong slowly opened his eyes, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He said softly, "The master has left the cave. You tell them, please go and wait in the living room. ”
The female disciple bowed her head and said, "The disciple has already been informed, but the guest said that if you can't see the master, let the senior brother go over and talk to him." ”
Li Shuilong frowned slightly, and was even more puzzled: "Who is the guest?" ”
The female disciple replied, "It's Li Shuidao." ”
Hearing this name, a look of surprise instantly appeared on Li Shuilong's face. He hurriedly got up and said excitedly: "It turned out that the eldest brother was here, so I will go to greet him." ”
After that, Li Shuilong wiped the sweat on his body with a dry handkerchief, then put on a robe and strode towards the living room......
When the old man returned, he saw Li Shuidao and Lan Dazhi talking and laughing with his apprentice Li Shuilong.
"Fellow Poison Hand Daoist, we have taken out the treasure house of the sect that you have trusted." Lan Dazhi said with a smile.
A bright smile suddenly bloomed on the face of the old man, and his excitement was beyond words.
Lan Dazhi immediately got up and took out four treasures from the storage bag.
The mirror stone is like a bright moon hanging high, the ghostly jade shimmers with a mysterious green light, the purple mist crystal is like a dreamy purple mist, and the crushed stone is like a starry star.
"Thank you, Elder Lan." The old man's face was full of excitement.
"You don't need to thank me, if you want to thank you, thank Lord Shizu." Lan Dazhi pointed to Li Shuidao and said.
"Thank you, Great Elder, your great kindness and virtue are old and unforgettable." The old man hurriedly clenched his fists and said.
The people of their own clan call their own high-ranking monks the ancestors, and the foreigners call the high-ranking monks of their own sect the great elders.
"It's not for nothing that I'm helping you." Li Shuidao spoke indifferently and broke the silence.
The old man frowned slightly, and his voice was low: "The great elder has commanded that his subordinates will not give up." ”
Li Shuidao smiled lightly and spit out three words softly: "He Shiyong." ”
The old man's face changed, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He took a deep breath and tried to calm down the fluctuations in his heart: "Please ask the seniors to make this matter clear." ”
Li Shuidao turned around and his gaze fell on Lan Dazhi: "Let's go." ”
"Yes." Lan Dazhi hugged his fists.
The two drifted away.
When they left, only the old man with a complicated face was left, standing in deep thought.
Cold Moon Sword Mansion.
A huge banyan tree that is half withered and half honored.
Li Shuidao sat in the shade of a tree, and his aura was peaceful, as if he was one with heaven and earth.
At this moment, the illusion of desert rocks appeared around his figure, and with the flow of qi, this illusion gradually blurred, and finally disappeared into nothingness.
Li Shuidao quietly entered his virtual realm. In the void, he flew against the wind, through the clouds and mist, and the scenery in front of him was constantly changing.
The lotus leaf pond gradually unfolds in front of you, the blue waves rippling, full of greenery, like a fairyland.
The lotus leaf pond is about 100 acres in size, and in one corner of the pond, a huge toad sits here. This toad has a huge body, like a small mountain, exuding a fierce third-order demon beast aura. Its skin was as hard as a golden stone, and there were faint gold streaks circulating on it, exuding a brilliant light.
Li Shuidao caressed the skin of the toad, its texture was as hard as a golden stone, and it made a crisp sound when touched. He nodded with satisfaction: "Your strength is extraordinary, and you will be the most powerful guardian god in the Void Realm in the future, and I will give you the name 'Giant Rock Guardian'." I hope you can protect this world and make sure that it is not harmed in any way. ”
The Giant Rock Guardian was silent for a moment, as if it had comprehended this deep meaning, and it stared at Li Shuidao with those red and translucent eyes, nodding slightly.
Li Shuidao smiled slightly, he held the Chixia Slashing Sword tightly in one hand, and controlled the gold thread and silver pattern in the other. He commanded softly, "Open your mouth." ”
The Boulder obediently opened its wide jaw. Li Shuidao stepped forward, his sword-wielding hand flexibly carving complex formations in the giant mouth, and the other hand manipulating the gold and silver patterns to arrange the formation.
"The Heaven Devouring Formation needs to be guided by the demonic qi of the demon beast and operate the formation in order to exert its power." Li Shuidao explained while carving, "This formation can transform everything that is devoured into yin and yang qi, helping me strengthen my physical body. If my physical body is strong, the void will be more secure. ”
The Guardian of the Rock nodded in understanding, and despite the pain in its mouth, it understood that this was its duty to protect the world, and the source of its strength.
Li Shuidao continued to carefully depict every formation pattern, and did not let go of every detail.
The Guardian of the Rock endured the pain of being scratched by the magic sword of the flying sword, and it seemed to understand its duty, and it also craved power to become the most powerful guardian in the world.
With the completion of the last formation, the formations of the Heaven Devouring Formation were connected. A powerful aura emanated from the body of the Giant Rock Guardian, blending with the surrounding aura, and an extremely powerful, extremely restrained force, brewed in the body of the Giant Rock Guardian.
