Chapter 17: The Fall of the Heavenly Stone
Lei Luo pulled Dao Yuan and motioned for him to sit down and prepare. Dao Yuan glanced at Rou'er beside him, and saw that her expression was different, her face turned pale, and he hurriedly asked softly, "Rou'er, what's wrong?"
"I seem to remember something, but...... But it's vague and unreal. Rou'er looked at the tower in the distance with a pair of beautiful eyes and hard thinking: "This scene is a little familiar, it seems that I have seen it from somewhere, but why can't I remember it!." ”
Dao Yuan picked up her wrist to probe the pulse, frowned, and said: "Your mind is unstable, your qi and blood are churning, and the pulse is also very chaotic, and the injury that was about to heal has signs of attack! Quickly, quickly gather your mind, keep your mind empty, and don't think about anything anymore!"
Rou'er also knew that she was very inappropriate, so she took a deep breath and did as she was told. Inevitably, Dao Yuan was worried, and forced a happy face: "Don't worry, I don't want to." ”
"That's good, Rou'er, everything goes naturally, don't force it, since you can't think of it now, then let's talk about it later, it's still about the body. ”
"Well, Rou'er knows. ”
While the two were talking, a dull loud noise suddenly came from the top of the tower, like a dragon's roar, like a tiger's roar, majestic and upright, resounding throughout the city. Dao Yuan stared at it, only to see an extremely dazzling white light appear from the roof of the building, rushing into the sky like an optimus jade pillar, the entire square instantly brightened as day, and a burst of exclamation immediately sounded below.
Dao Yuan had never seen such a situation, and looked up in some surprise. Lei Luo whispered: "When this white light disappears, it is time for the power of the stars to land, this process lasts about two hours, don't be stunned, hurry up and prepare." ”
On the roof of the building, Hai Wuya and the others had already withdrawn their palms after the white light appeared, since the formation had been activated, it would operate on its own, and there was no need to continue to input spiritual power, they all stared at each other and slowly exhaled, recovering the little spiritual power left.
After the tea time, the white light suddenly disappeared, like a giant dragon submerged into the sea of stars above, and then, the sea of stars in the sky slowly brightened, and when the brightness reached an extreme, the power of the vast and incomparable stars fell at this moment, like a spiritual general convergence towards the top of the building, and when it was hundreds of meters away from the top of the building, it slowly spread out to the surroundings, falling all over the square.
It turned out that there were also many small formations carved on the ground around the square, and these formations were connected to the formations on the roof, and at this time, they also emitted a faint traction force, attracting the power of the stars all over the audience. It's just that the gravitational pull of these small formations is too small, and they can only attract the power of a few stars and fall on those who are in the outermost part of the world.
Dao Yuan clearly felt that the power of these stars was almost exactly the same as the power that he had drawn during his usual cultivation, but although the 'quantity' of the power of the stars was too large to count, in terms of 'quality', it didn't seem to be as high as his own quality.
With a flip of his wrist, the sword of life and death appeared instantly, and he gently tapped the blade of the sword, and the voice asked, "Do you know what's going on in front of you?"
The disdainful voice of the sword spirit came from his mind: "It's just the most ordinary star introduction, what's so strange, if you don't come to this place, it's better to go home and practice." ”
"Isn't it, such a big battle, so inferior to your magic eye?"
"Hey, if you want to say anything worthy of my sword spirit's praise, it's only those formations. However, these formations from the ancient period have been handed down to the present, and they have long lost their original style, and their power has been weakened by many times. ”
Dao Yuan smiled: "Listen to what you mean, it seems that you are an expert in this area?"
"The connoisseurs don't dare to say it, but if you talk about what is in front of you, hmph, how can they look at my sword spirit's back...... By the way, I don't think there's something wrong with this girl next to you. Sword Spirit changed his words and actually talked about Rou'er.
Rou'er held her forehead with her hands, her body swayed lightly, and she looked very tired. Dao Yuan hurriedly supported her and said softly, "Rou'er, what's wrong with you, you're not feeling well?"
Rou'er beat her spirit: "I'm fine." ”
"Don't lie to me, you're clearly in trouble like this! I think, let's go home and rest." ”
"However, today is a rare day, how can you delay Brother Daoyuan to absorb the power of the stars because of Rou'er! I still insist, you don't have to pay attention to me. ”
Dao Yuan pretended to be displeased and said: "What can be as important as our Rou'er's body! Besides, we were here to see the excitement, and since we have seen it, we still linger." ”
"But the thunder fell on him......" Rou'er glanced at the thunder next to her in embarrassment, and her face was embarrassed.
"It's okay, let's go first, when the time comes, he will naturally go back, and I will leave Jin'er by his side, so that it will be fine." ”
Rou'er wanted to say more, but was helped out of the square by Dao Yuan, and the two walked back to their residence slowly.
On the other side, Hai Wuya, who had recovered for a while, looked up at the sky, frowned, and was silent in thought.
"Master of the Sea Courtyard, do you also feel that something is wrong?"
The three old men with quite high strength came to Hai Wuya's side and asked uncertainly.
Hai Wuya didn't look back, still looking at the shining sea of stars contemplatively: "Everyone, we have been presiding over this star introduction for more than 20 years, and the past situation must have been familiar to everyone for a long time, but today...... How do I feel that something is wrong!"
As soon as these words came out, the three old men looked stunned, looked at each other a few times, and affirmed the thoughts in their hearts even more.
An emaciated old man said, "I still have a wrong feeling, it turns out that the Lord of the Sea Courtyard is the same as me! Yes, today's star introduction is indeed different from previous years, and the power of this star seems to be ...... It seems a little too active, it's hard to ......"
Before the words fell, Hai Wuya suddenly got up, pointed to the sky and exclaimed, "Look, what is that?"
At an unknown height in the sky, a huge, dazzling light was falling rapidly, like a mountain, as fast as lightning. In just a moment, he had already come to the sky above Cloud City, and was heading towards the Star Tower, and the rumbling sound of the roar came into the ears of everyone below like a giant drum. Tens of thousands of people looked up at the same time, and they didn't know why for a while, and their faces were blank.
"The fall of the Heavenly Stone, could it be the fall of the Heavenly Stone, which is rare in a hundred years......" Hai Wuya's eyes widened, and he roared in a deep voice. Rao was based on his mental experience, and he couldn't help but lose his temper, and his voice trembled.
As soon as he said this, the eyes of several people next to him lit up and their hearts were overjoyed. An old man in black stared at the bright light above, and said excitedly: "It is recorded in the classics: Attracting the heavenly stones to fall and stepping into the clouds! If this is the case, it is really a fortunate thing for my generation...... It's just that I don't know what level of heavenly stone is being introduced this time. ”
Another old man in Mai took a deep breath, and it was difficult to hide the excitement in his eyes: "I don't know how many years Yunxiao City has not attracted Tianshi, today, it must be God bless me Yunxiao, it seems that the luck of those little guys is not bad......"
Hai Wuya glanced at the people around him, and said solemnly: "Every time the stone falls, it will cause a fierce robbery, it seems that this time, the city will be lively again." ”
The old man in black said: "The heavenly stone is in the world, and those who can live in it." Those who don't measure themselves want to get it, naturally they have to pay the price, this is self-inflicted, who is to blame!"
Hai Wuya glanced at the old man in black, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
At this time, some people in the crowd below also recognized this object and shouted: "Look, it's the Heavenly Stone! The legendary Heavenly Stone falls ......."
"Could it be that this is the Heavenly Stone that can wash the scriptures and cut the marrow and increase the supreme cultivation?!"
"Really, it's exactly the same as the legend, it's really a heavenly stone!"
"Haha...... Looks like you've come to the right place this time......"
Suddenly, countless pairs of eyes showed a greedy light, and they couldn't take their eyes off the dazzling light that was getting closer and closer.
Dao Yuan and Rou'er had already walked far away, but they still noticed the noise behind and the strangeness above, and turned around to look in wonder.
Rou'er blinked a pair of beautiful eyes and said strangely: "Brother Daoyuan, what is that?"
"Could it be...... Heavenly Stone Falling?" Dao Yuan was a little surprised.
"What is the Falling Stone?"
"I also just remembered that it was recorded in the book that the ancient powerful people created an incomparably mysterious formation, which could connect the energy between heaven and earth after being stimulated, so as to channel the power of the stars and purify themselves. If it is a coincidence, there will be a celestial stone containing the power of the supreme star to be drawn down, so it is called a celestial stone fall. I don't know how many years this kind of celestial stone has existed in the sea of stars, and the power of the stars contained in it is too much to count, and it is the most essential power, which is not comparable to the power of ordinary stars at all, and it has unimaginable benefits for the cultivation of martial artists below the Unified Realm, and it is definitely a rare good thing. ”
"But wouldn't that smash the people below?"
"I haven't heard of this, it should be because of the formation. ”
At this time, the voice of the sword spirit came from his head: "I'll give you a big gift, do you want to?"
Dao Yuan glanced at the rapidly falling light in the sky in the distance, and said, "What do you mean by ......?"
"That's right, it's that Heavenly Stone! Your current cultivation is too rubbish, having it will be of great benefit to your cultivation of divine skills, if you are lucky, maybe there will be surprises." ”
"But the heavenly stone is falling from above, as fast as a streamer, and far away from us, those people are probably staring at it, we want to get, this ...... I'm afraid it's not easy. Dao Yuan looked into the distance and said.
"You can not have confidence in yourself, but don't think of others as you do!" Sword Spirit said lightly, "I have my own way to lure it over." ”
According to the sword spirit's instructions, Dao Yuan raised the sword of life and death on his chest, and the tip of the sword was facing the falling heavenly stone, and he lost all the spiritual power that he had just cultivated. Immediately after, a faint brilliance appeared on the sword body, the brilliance was not dazzling, but it flashed with an incomparably mysterious light, and even Dao Yuan could clearly feel that a force of nothingness slowly rose from the sword body, and emanated straight towards the direction where the heavenly stone fell.
Seeing this, Rou'er on the side was stunned and forgot about her physical discomfort.
On the other side, the rapidly falling light could be as high as a hundred feet above the Star Tower, and suddenly there was a loud bang, and in the stunned eyes of everyone, it was divided into five streamers and scattered in all directions.
"Damn, what's going on! It's going to explode into five pieces!"
"yes, why do you still have a ...... with a turn?"
"Nima, isn't this playing with people!"
Seeing that Tianshi did not fall directly as imagined, the crowd immediately boiled, and even many people were already ready to snatch it, but unexpectedly, there was such an accident, and in the midst of the scolding, countless people launched light kung fu and chased after him.
On the roof of the building, the old man in Mai also opened his mouth wide in shock: "Brother Hai, this ...... I had never heard of such a situation. ”
Before Hai Wuya could answer, the old man in black shouted: "I'm still stunned, hurry up and chase is serious!" Before the words fell, his figure jumped down from the top of the building, and pounced to the east like a big black bird.
"Chase!"
The others didn't dare to slack off, and each jumped off the roof of the building, spreading his body and chasing after the other streamers. While Hai Wuya jumped out of the roof, he only had time to order: "Notify the city lord as soon as possible." ”
These masters are well-informed on weekdays, but in the face of this rare Tianshi Fall, they still can't bear it.
Not to mention that the speed of the stone was unusually fast, and the crowd behind couldn't catch up at all, and the five streamers were fleeting like a white horse passing through a gap, and in a moment they were blocked by various buildings, and they could no longer see a trace of light.
