Chapter 3: The Shoal Dragon (Part I)
Spring, with which brings hope.
Vientiane returns to spring, and all living beings wake up.
The man under the statue first moved his fingers lightly twice, and then his eyelashes, perhaps because the ice field was still warm and cold, and the eyelashes were covered with dewdrops, shiny, very beautiful.
Then a pair of bright eyes opened, and the old man sitting next to the young man smiled slightly.
The high priest has been paying attention to Xu Changan, and he also knows that in the past two days, he will definitely wake up.
Xu Changan opened his eyes, only to see the somewhat decayed beam, with cobwebs on it, and a damp, rotten and ancient aura rushed towards him.
Xu Changan felt that he had a dream, he dreamed that he was drained of blood.
Then he saw the black-robed old man he had seen between life and death, and the old man didn't say anything, just asked him if he was tired.
In the dream, he saw the blue sky and white clouds he saw the previous time, streams, cattle and sheep, and even Wang Zihan beside him.
By the way, he also dreamed that he had fallen into the deep sea, and when he was about to drown, a large fish swam beside him and lifted him up from the depths.
His dreams were very mixed, but he didn't know why, when he saw the big fish in the dream, he suddenly felt his heart ache.
After that, he saw the black-robed old man again.
The old man told him to rest well, forget all his troubles, and just as he was about to be persuaded, the same green light appeared in the sky again, but it was much grander than the previous time, and this light directly suppressed the old man.
When Xu Changan wanted to look for the black-robed old man again, he found that there was no trace of him.
After that, when he opened his eyes, he saw the ancient and decaying beams, and he even wondered why this stone temple still had such beams similar to pavilions.
Xu Changan wanted to raise his hand, but found that he couldn't move.
Not only could he not do it manually, he couldn't move his whole body, he could only look at the beam.
"Running exercises, relaxing the muscles and invigorating the blood, if you lie down for too long, you will be like this. ”
Xu Changan couldn't see the owner of the voice, but he could also hear that it was an old man.
He didn't hesitate, and directly ran the exercises of the "Broken Sword Technique", but soon he felt that something was wrong, wherever this mana went, this "Broken Sword Technique" was like a sharp sword breaking through the mountain rocks, causing a shock. But this so-called mountain stone is his body.
Where could Xu Changan stand it, and suddenly several parts of his skin were bleeding.
Qi and blood surged, and the body felt as if it was about to be torn apart.
"As far as I know, your little white cat once gave you a set of exercises, right?"
Xu Changan heard the meaning of these words, and immediately stopped.
"In "Crossing Life", all the exercises have their own characteristics, and they are used because of their strength. You have a lot of unlearned knowledge now, but you swallow dates, and you can use whatever you want, so what's the point of learning so much?"
Xu Chang'an's heart sank, although this old voice was not loving, not even kind. But what he said was the truth, if he regarded people's cultivation as a chef's cooking, then the exercises he possessed were the top ingredients in the world, but not all the ingredients could be delicious when cooked together, and how to maintain the unique taste of each ingredient could be deep!
Everything boiled in a pot, and it was pig food.
To put it mildly, Xu Changan now has a bunch of top-level ingredients, and it turned out to be pig food.
He heard the old voice, thought about it, and then took up the life, and suddenly a golden light appeared on the surface of his body. Like the golden sunset of Chang'an shining on the body, it is warm. At the same time, his originally stiff and numb body
There was also a gradual reaction.
About half an hour or so, Xu Changan's "Crossing Life" turned around in his body, and he did it.
He looked at the old man, dressed in a black coat, with his head down, unable to see his face clearly.
It can be seen from the body shape that this old man should be very thin.
"Thank you seniors for your advice, I don't know where this is......?
Before he finished speaking, he saw a figure flash, and a person jumped over and hugged him tightly.
"You scared the fuck out of me, I thought you wouldn't wake up. ”
Xu Changan broke free of his embrace, and when he saw this person, he was also full of joy.
What a blessing it is to wake up and see your deceased.
Su Qing also breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw that the high priest was still by his side, he hurriedly let go of Xu Chang'an, and introduced to Xu Chang'an: "This is the temple, and this is the high priest." ”
Xu Changan also understood that it must have been this high priest who saved him.
He just remembered that he had been grabbed by a man with dark green hair, and then he took out a small gourd, sucking his blood.
He didn't know what happened after that.
The high priest nodded, and then said to Su Qing: "You must have a lot of things to talk about, Tuoba Qing, prepare a room for him, and you can talk slowly." ”
Hearing what the high priest said, Su Qing hurriedly took Xu Changan to the backyard, got him a little food, found a place, and told Xu Changan everything that happened after that.
When it was said that Old Man Shi Antian caused the Heavenly Tribulation and took away the two half-step Star Shaking Realm by himself, Xu Changan's face was full of sadness, and in the end he could only sigh and close his eyes.
When he talked about his father holding him and coming to this temple for help, Xu Changan's heart warmed, but when he thought that he was such a big person and had always needed to trouble his elders, he felt a little more guilty in his heart.
Xu Changan always felt that something was missing, so he hurriedly asked, "Didn't the kraken lineage appear?"
Su Qing knew that he couldn't hide from this, his face changed, and he finally told him about Wang Zihan's transformation into a big fish.
Xu Changan's reaction was different from Su Qing's imagination, he didn't expect a smile to appear on Xu Changan's face, full of warmth.
"Unexpectedly, that big fish is you. Xu Changan muttered to himself.
But in the next moment, his face changed, and his eyes became sharp.
"Xiangliu and the Scourge Clan, they must be destroyed!"
After that, Su Qing continued to talk to Xu Changan about some things, and even told about the Tuoba family, of course, the origin of Chiyan Mountain, and the iron-blooded thirteen horsemen who helped him find medicine naturally also said.
Their Tuoba family is actually the guardian of this immortality.
After hearing this, Xu Changan stood up and bowed deeply.
The brothers didn't say much thanks, but this bow was for the Tuoba family. Without them, I am afraid that I would not be able to wake up.
Then the two chatted for a while, and it was late at night.
Su Qing woke Xu Changan up a little tired, so he said goodbye and left, letting him rest well.
Xu Changan sat in the room, thinking of all the things that happened in the snowy mountain, and tears flowed down unconsciously.
Finally, he made up his mind, quietly pushed open the door, and headed towards the previous hall.
In the middle of the main hall, the lights flickered, and the high priest sat in the doorway, looking up at the sky, fiddling with the ancient-looking and mysterious woods.
"Senior High Priest, are you also proficient in this Heavenly Machine?"
The high priest seemed to know that Xu Changan would come, and he was not surprised at all by his arrival.
The high priest just shook his head and said, "Not proficient, this heavenly machine, only the Heavenly Machine Pavilion and the stargazing vein can see through it a little." The world is unpredictable, if everything is determined by God, then what is the point of all these struggles and efforts. Even existence has no meaning, and life has no meaning. ”
Xu Changan nodded.
"What is the meaning of a person's life if he is told at birth that he must be poor or rich in this life? A person's life is a struggle because of the result, and a nostalgia for this world because of the process. ”
The High Priest put away the few logs he had just fiddled with and patted the threshold beside him.
Xu Changan understood, so he sat side by side with the high priest.
"I saw you when you were born, and even the Bodhisattva talisman you wore before came out of my ruined temple. At the beginning, someone once said that you will fall into trouble and become a great demon, and take the big demon to occupy the land of our human race and slaughter our fellow human beings. ”
"Do you believe it?" Xu Changan suddenly asked.
The high priest didn't answer his question, just glanced at Xu Changan.
Xu Changan immediately understood, if the high priest believed all this, why should he save him.
"I believe in that prophecy, because this prophecy comes from the result of the joint deference of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion and the Emperor of the Stargazing Lineage. ”
Xu Changan was stunned.
"But I also believe that life can be changed, and luck can also be changed. At the beginning, they also said that Master Zeng could reach the realm of the three immortals, and he could not become holy when he cultivated, but he could make meritorious contributions and give the human race infinite strength. ”
The High Priest sighed.
But his life changed, he did not make meritorious deeds, and even later generations would scold him. ”
Xu Changan stood up, he naturally knew why, because of Zeng's indecision, because of his ambition, which led to the fall of the little master and the consequences of his capture.
He bowed to the high priest and said, "Please tell the high priest that the younger generation has never resented him." ”
The high priest didn't answer his words, he continued, "Are all the demon clans good?"
Xu Changan shook his head.
"Everyone is good and bad, let alone demons. ”
"Are all demons bad?" the High Priest asked, after all the demons.
Xu Changan shook his head, still maintaining the etiquette of bowing his hands.
The senior didn't speak, and he didn't dare to get up.
"All things prosper together, and the world runs freely, this is the way of heaven and the way of survival. The overpower of any one race will eventually lead to disaster for all races. Xu Changan lowered his head, bent down and added, when he said these words, he remembered the scene he saw when he accompanied Ji Qiuyang to Tianji Pavilion, as well as those questions and answers.
"Any strong man who has no opponent will be conceited, and conceit is the beginning of disaster. ”
Hearing that the high priest was speechless, Xu Changan continued.
"What then?" the High Priest asked after a moment of silence.
"One word. Xu Changan said, put down his hand, and wrote a word on the ground.
Seeing this, the high priest smiled.
"Okay, he didn't want to see you, and he was ashamed to see you, but I don't think you deserve to see him. But you, who have inherited his thoughts, I think you are qualified to meet him. The high priest stood up as he spoke, and walked into the main hall with Xu Changan.
They stepped on the altar where the idol was located, and saw an old man sitting peacefully behind the statue, as if he was asleep!
I asked for all kinds and came.
