Chapter 13: Transactions with Gatekeepers
At first glance, the beam of light in the painting seems to be only one ray, but when you look closely, it seems to be divided into countless beams. Every strand is hazy and erratic, like fog and veil.
Looking closer, it seems that even the beam of light is gone, and there are only countless points of light left. Each point of light was a figure, changing rapidly in the dark background, faster and faster, and at the end, it suddenly turned into a dazzling light.
"That's it!"
Yang Ji woke up and made up his mind.
Just in front of the scripture painting of "Floating Light Body Method", Yang Ji stood still, his eyes looked at the beam of light in the scripture painting, and with a buzz, his spiritual power flew out, and he once again entered the same realm as "Outside the Body Incarnation Method".
Time passed slowly, Yang Ji's eyes were also dazed, and his soul seemed to have entered a scripture painting......
"Bell!—"
Suddenly, a loud bang rang in my ears, and the entire Tibetan scripture cave trembled, and the chaotic air flow surged wildly.
"It's not close!"
Yang Ji's heart suddenly collapsed.
The bell rang very suddenly, and there was no doubt that the time had come. It's a voice that reminds yourself to leave.
Yang Ji's body was motionless, and now what he saw in his eyes was no longer a beam of light, but countless faint rays of light, and in the light, there was a figure running quickly.
His figure zigzags back and forth, running under the vast sky, is the secret of the "Floating Light Body Method". But the figure is still a little bit off to be finished.
The result of a complete exercise and an incomplete exercise is completely different.
"I still need a little bit of time. ”
Yang Ji said secretly, his eyes intent.
"It's time, it's time to leave!-"
A majestic and cold voice sounded in the cave, it was the gatekeeper.
Yang Ji didn't move, as if he didn't realize it. That's it, it's just the last point......
"Whew!-"
The air flow is surging. A raging wind swept in from the deepest part of the cave. Yang Ji's robe, which was blown by huge power, hunted, and his long hair was flying.
Yang Ji didn't move, his eyes just looked at the beam of sunlight on the painting.
“...... Stepping on the ...... Walk away from the ...... It's done!"
Yang Ji's eyes suddenly lit up, and the last piece of work was also obtained. At this time-
"Boom!"
The heavens shook, the blood light of the Tibetan Scripture Cave flashed, and all the fires on the cave walls were extinguished. Yang Ji was suddenly pulled up by a huge suction. It swirled and flew out like a broken kite.
"Ahh
Yang Ji let out a low breath and was shocked:
"It's never natural. Who the hell is it, how can it be so strong?"
Yang Ji tried to drive the blood qi in his body, but compared to this huge suction, it was like a grasshopper shaking a tree.
Before Yang Ji could react, there was a bang, and his eyes suddenly opened up, and a vigorous white light came to his face, and he had already arrived outside the cave.
The suction suddenly disappeared. Yang Ji didn't have time to take a closer look, his body folded, slammed, his feet hit the ground, and he landed firmly on the ground.
The mountains in front of you are thousands of miles, undulating and undulating, and cheerful. However, what Yang Ji noticed was the "gatekeeper" who appeared in front of him at some point.
He looked calm. His eyes are deep, and there is no joy or anger in his eyes.
"It's him!!"
Yang Ji remembered the terrifying suction that he couldn't stop before. I was secretly surprised. The gatekeeper looked ordinary, if it weren't for the scene just now, Yang Ji didn't know that he actually had such a terrifying ability.
The cave is extremely long, and he is standing at the entrance of the cave, and from such a distance, he can actually suck himself up without any resistance.
"It's terrible! How could he have such strength? How can he be tied up here, guarding the scripture cave, and being an unknown gatekeeper?"
Yang Ji's eyes were uncertain.
Someone, you already overestimate him. He looked like a dog, but was actually a sleeping tiger or a lion. However, when he stood up. Wait to become a prehistoric beast that covers the sky and the sun, and you know what it's like.
Yang Ji is like this now.
"Senpai, I'm sorry. It was just the critical time for enlightenment, and it was only the last little bit left, so ......"
Yang Ji immediately straightened up and looked apologetic.
The gatekeeper didn't seem to hear it at all, he stepped past Yang Ji, inserted the key, and the stone door rumbled back to its original position.
Yang Ji was bored with himself, and he also knew that the gap between his strength and status and the other party was too big, so he shook his head and walked straight down the mountain.
"Little doll, how about we make a deal?"
A voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Gatekeeper?"
Yang Ji was stunned and stopped. Turning around, five or six steps behind him, the gatekeeper put his hands together slightly, and was silently looking at himself, with no expression on his face.
"Senpai, are you calling me?"
Yang Ji said with some uncertainty.
"Hey, little doll, did you think there was anyone else here?"
The gatekeeper said lightly, and those deep eyes looked deeply mysterious.
An indescribable strange feeling came to his heart, Yang Ji didn't know if the disciples in the sect who had entered the Hidden Scripture Cave had encountered this kind of thing before, but at least, it was the first time Yang Ji had encountered it.
"Senior, I don't understand what you mean?"
Yang Ji said calmly, with a very cautious attitude.
"Hey, don't worry. ”
The gatekeeper shook his head and smiled, "I just wanted to ask you if you want something that would improve your skills." For example, Genki Grass?"
"Buzz!"
Yang Ji felt a buzz in his heart, only to feel an electric current rushing from the top of his head to the soles of his feet in an instant.
"Genki grass", the legendary rootless grass.
When the grass and forests of the world are rooted in the earth, and the water and soil are used as nutrients, the "Yuanqi grass" is rooted in the void, floating in the sky, and feeding on the vast, formless, and ubiquitous vitality between heaven and earth.
For this reason, the "Vitality Grass" resides a large amount of Vitality Energy. However, for martial artists, its biggest effect is that according to the size of the fire, it can help martial artists get through the "big and small Zhoutian" in the body.
However, this kind of thing is extremely rare. Yang Ji also heard her say that someone had gotten this kind of thing when she was chatting with Lin Qingyan before.
Warriors take one step at a time. The practice was extremely difficult. Therefore, to advance by leaps and bounds and rapidly improve strength, we can only start from this aspect.
Yang Ji still only has the cultivation of the Martial Dao Quadruple Blood Furnace Realm, if he has the help of the "Yuan Qi Grass", he can save several years of penance and reach the sixth, seventh, and eightfold ...... of the Martial Dao earlier. Thus changing the fate of a lifetime.
In the Han Dynasty, youth means infinite possibilities!
What's more, if he has the Yuan Qi Grass, Yang Ji will be able to reach the Martial Dao Fivefold "Little Zhou Heavenly Realm" in advance, which will greatly increase the chances of winning in next year's martial arts examination.
"Senior, do you have vitality grass?"
Yang Ji's pupils contracted, and he lowered his voice.
He wasn't sure if the long-lived "gatekeeper" was joking or serious.
"Hey, hey. ”
The "gatekeeper" glanced at Yang Ji and said meaningfully: "Little doll." Whether there is or not, we will know when the time comes. ”
Yang Ji was silent. Everything that can improve one's strength is extremely precious, and things like "Yuan Qi Grass" are extremely rare, and I don't know how much more precious than things like "Essence Blood Pill".
What's more, the more you take this kind of thing, the less effective it will be. For martial artists above the Blood Furnace Realm, the effect is far less powerful.
However, the "Genki Grass" is different, and it is just as useful for the "Martial Sect". This is a high-grade martial arts treasure.
But. Yang Ji always felt that the "gatekeeper" was too weird.
Yang Ji and Zhao Hua and Lin Qingyan have also talked, and they have entered the "Tibetan Scripture Cave" more than once. But they never heard of them mentioning "gatekeepers".
"What do you want?"
Yang Ji took a deep breath and said.
The conditions provided by the gatekeeper made him unable to refuse at all, this was not just a "vitality grass", for Yang Ji, it was an opportunity to change his fate.
An eighteen-year-old "Wu Xiucai", whether in the sect or in the imperial court. can be greatly valued and have a greater future.
"Haha, that's a good question. I thought you'd back down, or ask me why?"
There was a real smile on the gatekeeper's face, which made his expression much softer:
"It's a deal. That's naturally the same, for the same. You want Vitality Grass? Yes, as long as you give me a few pieces of obsidian. ”
"Obsidian?"
Yang Ji frowned.
"Not bad. Obsidian is a rock in the underworld that, while not easy to find, is not too rare. When you get the obsidian, you can get the vitality grass from me. ”
The gatekeeper said in a deep voice.
"The Underworld?!"
Yang Ji was finally moved. Although he didn't know what the underworld was, he could tell it by listening to the name, it should be a kind of alien dimension.
Everything that involves another dimension is dangerous.
Yang Ji only thought that the "obsidian" that the gatekeeper wanted was some kind of precious material. As long as you take the time, you can always find it, but I didn't expect it to be a rock in the underworld.
"Senior, you think too highly of me. I do want Genki Grass, but I'm limited in my abilities. I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about obsidian. ”
After Yang Ji finished speaking, he walked down the mountain without hesitation.
"Yuanqi Grass" is indeed very tempting, but for things that can't be obtained at all, Yang Ji never thinks too much.
"Huh?"
The gatekeeper blinked his eyes and looked surprised. I have to say that Yang Ji's reaction was beyond his expectations. I didn't ask in detail, so I simply refused.
"Wait. Do you refuse like that without even asking?"
The gatekeeper shouted.
"Senior," Yang Ji smiled back, "What else is there to consider." Although I don't know where the underworld you are talking about. But with my current strength, it is obvious that I do not have the ability to travel to this kind of alien dimension. ”
"Hey, little doll. Don't say it too soon. I don't need you to take any risks in the underworld, and I don't need you to fight against any big monsters. Obsidian is everywhere in the underworld. You just have to find a piece and bring it back. There's no risk at all. I can't delay you much. It's no more difficult than if you bend down to pick a stone. ”
The gatekeeper laughed at this point:
"Moreover, you didn't ask me. How do you know that you can't call the underworld?" (To be continued......)
