XXIII. Turnaround

The golden light of the big dream of life and death covered the stone statue in the state of madness, and the stone skin of the stone statue shrouded in golden light cracked and disintegrated inch by inch, looking at the strange scene, Chen Su intended to restrain the golden light, but was stopped by the stone statue with a trembling voice, and said that only this golden light could relieve it, Chen Su had no choice but to comply, and let the golden light envelop the stone statue.

The stone statue was bathed in golden light, slowly closed its eyes, and then sat down cross-legged, with its palms clasped in front of its chest, and unconsciously entered a quiet and peaceful state.

The stone statue was covered with a thick layer of stone skin, in the previous battle with Chen Su, although the stone skin was cut by Chen Su and made some traces, there was no substantial damage, but when the hard stone skin came into contact with the golden light, countless small cracks gradually appeared. With the passage of time, there are more and more fine lines, and they become thicker and thicker, and the most sluggy ones are all over the stone body, and at the head and shoulders of the stone statue, it is more like the early sun melting snow, and the stone skin has signs of slowly melting.

Chen Su looked at the stone statue that fell into calm in front of him, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to wait quietly, and this wait was more than half a month, until the originally hard stone statue was like a snowman basking in the sun, and his face and body became a little blurred. Chen Su's heart was very anxious, firstly, when he entered here, Wu Bingyu was still waiting outside, and he didn't know what the situation was outside for a long time, and secondly, he didn't know when he would be able to get out of here and see the light of day again, and he promised Wu Bingyu to find his father's clansmen, and now he was trapped here, wouldn't he be dishonest with others?

"Ah...... Oh...... Ahem...... "Three days later, the stone skin melted away, slowly revealing the old face among them.

"Roar ......" roared, waking up Chen Su in his cultivation state.

Chen Su opened his eyes, only to find that the original stone statue in front of him was gone, but an old man with gray hair was sitting cross-legged, the old man was extremely strong, with his upper body exposed, wearing a pair of gray trousers. Chen Su looked at it for a long time, and secretly thought in his heart, could it be that he was the patriarch of the Iron Desert Clan or some elder?

As if sensing Chen Su's gaze, the old man's eyelids trembled slightly, and finally opened slowly, staring ahead with torch-like eyes, but found that the person in front of him was so young, and seemed to be taken aback, but he came back to his senses in an instant, and quickly got up and knelt down to salute, "Thank God for saving my life!"

Chen Su looked at the old man's state, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him, "Senior, this is ...... It doesn't have to be like this, seniors, please get up, please get up quickly. Chen Su said, helping the old man up.

The old man stood up, his figure was half a head taller than Chen Su, and at this time he looked Chen Su up and down, "God, I don't know how you became what you are now?" As soon as the words came out, the old man felt that it was inappropriate, and hung his head, "It's too old to talk." ”

The old man's respectful appearance made Chen Su stunned, "Listen to the meaning of the senior's words, did you know me?"

The old man smiled when he heard this, "God is laughing, who in heaven and earth does not know your prestige? Not to mention that the book of heaven is here, even if the old man is clumsy, this treasure can still be recognized." The old man said, looking up at the secret of life and death suspended above his head, "This time, thanks to God's rescue, the old decay has been reborn. ”

Chen Su was confused by the old man's words, he didn't know what was going on with the Heavenly Lord and the Book of Heaven, but since the old man said so, he didn't argue anymore, it was better to listen to some news, "Senior, what kind of place is this? Do you know the whereabouts of several seniors of the Iron Desert Clan?"

"Iron Desert Clan?

"It's the Iron Desert Clan in Liusha City, I made a special trip to find a few seniors in the clan this time. ”

"Liusha City, Iron Desert Clan?" the old man frowned and shook his head, as if he didn't know anything about this.

"Senior, what kind of place is this?"

"God, it seems that you have forgotten, this is where the Kun Sect is located, when the six-angled demon snake took advantage of the sect master's retreat to enter the sect, causing countless casualties, our senior brothers and eighteen people joined forces and could not be defeated, and the sect master had to go out to face the battle, and desperately launched the Fulong Hall to suppress him here. When the old man said this, he was filled with grief and indignation, and his eyes were full of hatred.

Chen Su didn't know what the old man said, maybe there was a big war here back then.

The old man looked at Chen Su and continued, "We also thought about asking God for help back then, but that six-pointed demon snake was really powerful...... Ay. ”

Although Chen Su didn't understand, he had no choice but to nod his head in agreement, and let the old man recall the sad past scenes alone.

"The master exhausted his strength when he sealed the demon snake, and in order to complete the seal, our eighteen brothers had to protect the Dharma and seal the demon snake in Kun Mountain, but later, this demon snake somehow gradually had the ability to counterattack, and began to fight against the Fulong Palace, and even controlled our brothers with this special stone armor. ”

"Since the secret of life and death can dissolve the stone armor, I can try to save the others as well. Chen Su listened to the old man's words, and he also admired their righteousness of sacrificing himself to protect the Dharma.

The old man shook his head sadly and looked at the stone statues in the temple, "Why don't I want to save them, God has this heart, and they will be happy if they want to come, but at this time we can't save them." ”

"What's that for?" Chen Su asked puzzled.

"God doesn't know, although the demon snake controls our physical body, our spirit is still autonomous, and with us, it still can't get rid of the shackles of the Fulong Palace, and as long as we don't leave the scope of this Fulong Palace, we can't remove the stone armor that binds the physical body. ”

Chen Su followed the old man's gaze, and the stone statue was still bearing such a responsibility, "But, in this way, won't you save them?"

"Of course you have to save. Speaking of this, the old man seemed to hesitate, "Recently, the seal of the Fulong Hall has become weaker and weaker, maybe it won't be long before the demon snake will break through the seal, and by that time, all the senior brothers who can't get out of the Fulong Hall will completely become its puppets." So before that, you have to find a way to defeat the demon snake. The old man's gaze swept over Chen Su again, "Maybe only God can do this." ”

"Me?" Chen Su hesitated, but did not agree or refuse, "The junior's name is Chen Su, the senior may have recognized the wrong person, I am really not the God that the predecessor said." But to rescue a few seniors, as long as Chen Su is able to do it, I will definitely not shirk. ”

The old man smiled when he heard this, "Since God doesn't want to admit it, even if the old man doesn't force it, but I still hope that God can have this responsibility." There is one more thing, the old decay has to say, the six-pointed demon snake came here back then, maybe it has something to do with the Netherworld Emperor. ”

Netherworld Emperor is another name that Chen Su doesn't know, "Senior, what you said, the younger generation really doesn't know. ”

The old man nodded, "You'll understand one day." The old man said, shaking his body, and the bones of his whole body creaked, "After so many years, it feels comfortable to loosen your muscles and bones." ”

Chen Su smiled when he heard this, "It seems that the seniors are also open-minded people, and the juniors have something to ask for, and they ask the seniors to fulfill it." ”

"Oh, God is gracious to the old, even if he speaks. ”

"The younger generation came here to find a friend. I don't want to strayed into this place, and I am even more trapped here, and now that it has been a long time, my friend must be very anxious, and he asked his predecessors to show him a way out. Chen Su said and bowed to the old man.

"It turns out that for this matter, even if God doesn't say it, the old decay should send you out. But not right now. Looking at Chen Su, the old man looked apologetic, "God doesn't know, for a long time, the seal of this Fulong Hall has suppressed the vitality in our body to a minimum, and if you want to get out of the seal of this Fulong Palace, you must wait for my vitality to recover a little." ”

"Oh. Chen Su nodded, but his heart sank a lot, if he recovers for a year and a half, isn't it equivalent to being trapped here?" "So that's the case, how long will it take?"

The old man muttered, "It will take about ten days at the earliest." ”

"Ten days?" Chen Su muttered, this is nothing.

The old man seemed to see Chen Su's thoughts, "God, even if it is ten days, old decay will not let God's time be wasted. ”

Chen Su smiled slightly, "Seniors still call me Chen Su, I'm still a little uncomfortable with the title of God." ”

"This ......," the old man seemed a little embarrassed, "then I'll call you Childe." ”

"It's fine. Chen Su nodded disappreciatively.

"Childe, the old man has some words that rely on the old and sell the old, if you don't like it, just because I didn't say it. ”

"Senior, please speak. ”

"In the previous battle with Childe, I found that although you have a treasure, you have no rules. That sword is only a weapon in your hands, and while you may be able to defeat some of your opponents at the same level, it won't be able to use its true power yet. The old man looked at Chen Su's expression as he spoke. Regarding what the old man said, Chen Su naturally knew in his heart that although he had obtained the master's treasure, he had no one to guide him.

"What my predecessors said is right, I am the Mingshuang Sword that I got by chance, including the secret of life and death, so in fact, I am not the God you say. Then Chen Su, in view of what Ugo said some time ago, could not easily show his inside information from the outside world, so he told the old man about his situation, family feuds, fled to this point, apprenticeship days are short, although he got the treasure, but he has not received real guidance.

The old man nodded while listening, and he also knew that Chen Su was vague, so he didn't ask much, "If the son doesn't like it, the old man is willing to pass on some of the techniques of this sect to the son." Childe's cultivation of the secret of life and death is already an adventure, and if he obtains some more techniques, he will definitely have a bright future. ”

When Chen Su heard this, he hurriedly thanked him.

So in ten days, the old man passed on Chen Su's set of boxing skills and a set of swordsmanship.
