Chapter 319: Windfall
The sword blade was cold, with a piercing chill, and it was about to submerge into Ruan Ruan's body.
The sword body glowed with golden light, which was the effect caused by the infusion of gold-based true qi. Under Ruan Ruan's perception, this kind of attack did not pose any threat at all.
A strand of hair in his hair floated and brushed against the sword, and the long sword suddenly went off course.
The attacker felt a huge surge of power, and the long sword in his hand could not be held and fell to the ground.
"Why did you hurt my grandfather. The visitor shouted.
Ruan Ruan turned around, and a childish face appeared in front of him. A boy of twelve or thirteen years old was looking at him with a flushed face.
"How do you know I'm not saving him. Ruan said with a soft smile.
The young man looked at the unconscious old man on the ground, pounced on it and shook it vigorously, crying loudly: "Grandpa, you died so miserably." ”
Ruan Ruan was a little embarrassed, and let him toss a handful of snot and tears on the old man's body.
After a while, the old man woke up slowly.
"Help me up. The old man coughed twice and spoke.
The young man supported the old man with his thin body and slowly got up.
Ruan Ruan picked up the crutches and handed them over, the old man looked at him deeply, and followed the young man into the house.
"Come in and talk. The old man's voice, with a hint of hoarseness, came from inside the house.
Ruan Ruan walked in silently.
The hut was dimly lit, and a small pot of black liquid was boiling on the fire, which smelled of medicine.
"Zhuang'er, let's go out and play. The old man commanded.
The young man stood up and walked towards the door, glaring at Ruan Ruan as he passed by.
Ruan Ruan made a grimace at him, and the boy went out angrily.
"Taste the wine I brought. Ruan Ruan waved his hand, and two wine glasses appeared in front of him, which were filled with Aoki wine.
He picked up a cup and handed it to the old man, taking it himself and holding it between his fingers.
Aoki sake is a special brew of the Qingling clan, and it cannot be tasted outside at all.
The green and mellow green wood wine aroused the old man's interest, and he took a slight sip, and a fragrance of the forest wood entered his heart.
"Good wine. The old man couldn't help but raise his neck and drink it in one go, and his cloudy eyes were also a little bright.
Ruan Ruan poured the wine glass full and touched him lightly.
After three cups in a row, the old man's pale face was flushed with a trace of blood, and his spirit was also cheered up.
"When you inquire about the news of the immortal tomb, do you also want to go in and hunt for treasures? The old man said slowly.
He really couldn't see why this young man was in danger alone.
"Many people have entered the fairy tombs, but they are nowhere to be found, and I want to go and find their whereabouts. Ruan Ruan turned the wine glass in his hand, stared at the old man's eyes and said softly.
"The danger inside, unimaginable. I went there when I was younger, but I almost lost my life in it. The old man's voice was like a worn-out bellows, and it was extremely uncomfortable to listen to the human ear.
"What secrets exist in the immortal tomb. Ruan asked in a deep voice.
When it comes to the whereabouts of the old emperor, he must ask for the truth.
"When I was young, Xianque City was still prosperous. One day, I was fortunate to follow a group of Yuanying monks and enter the immortal tomb to hunt for treasures. The old man coughed a few times, and then said, "After we entered, it seemed that it could isolate people's spiritual sense, and even the Yuanying Cultivator was like an ordinary person, unable to drive the magic weapon. ”
"Everyone can only grope their way forward by feeling, and I walked at the end of the crowd, and I could only hear the people in front of me running as if they had found some treasure. The old man took a sip of his glass, his chest rising and falling.
Ruan Ruan listened to him quietly, for fear of disturbing his thoughts.
"I followed the crowd and saw a bright light appear in front of me, the light of a mountain of treasures. The crowd rushed over like crazy, and because my cultivation was too low, I could only look at it from afar and envy. ”
The old man's wrinkled face suddenly showed a look of fear.
"The people who touch the treasure lose control of their bodies before they have time to rejoice. It was as if those treasures had absorbed their souls and turned into shackles that controlled them. ”
The old man's face was distorted, and in the dim light, it looked even more hideous.
He was breathing heavily, his hands were on his throat, and his eyes were dead gray, as if he were haunted by evil spirits.
Ruan Ruan stretched out his fingers, and a ray of starlight sank into the old man's forehead. His star light has a purifying effect and calms the mind.
The old man woke up like a dream, he looked at the young man in astonishment, and it took a long time to calm down from the state just now.
"This kind of trick you have used can alleviate the damage suffered by my primordial spirit. The old man said excitedly.
"Your Yuan Shen was eroded in the Immortal Tomb?" Ruan Ruan gradually had some guesses in his heart, but the specific situation needed to be further clarified.
The old man nodded, and under the bath of starlight, his primordial spirit gradually reacted, and he was no longer as lifeless as before.
"The people who entered the immortal tomb, under the control of those treasures, were like planting soul seals. Unable to struggle, they walked uncontrollably towards the depths of the cemetery, eventually disappearing. I ran desperately towards the exit, feeling a tearing pain from the original spirit. The old man's eyes showed a look of pain, and the lingering shadow still hung over his heart.
This unforgettable memory, which accompanied him for many years, no one believed what he said, only that he was a madman.
"Can devour the treasures of the primordial gods?" Ruan Ruan fell into deep thought.
The spirit is the mind of the monk, and once damaged, it means that the brain cannot work properly. It can be madness and dementia at worst, and death at worst.
The Yuanying Monk formed a Dao fetus in his mind, and his mind was far more powerful than that of the Jindan Monk.
It seems that the old man's realm is insufficient, but he saved one of his lives. However, that kind of invasion of the Yuan Shen still left him sequelae. As a result, his cultivation was completely lost, and his body was normal on the surface, but in fact, the Yuan Shen was injured, no different from ordinary mortals.
After those Yuanying monks were controlled, what kind of fate did they face, who left this immortal tomb, and what was the purpose of its existence.
"Those people have disappeared?" Ruan Ruan couldn't help but ask.
The old man's eyes were gloomy and he shook his head blankly.
"I saw these high-ranking monks like puppets, and I felt a deep despair in them, and my only thought was to escape. The light that came from those treasures was the chains of death. My consciousness was constantly blurred, but fortunately, the ancestral Divine Cultivation Tree saved me at a critical moment. It kept me awake at the last of my feet, and freed me from the erosion. ”
The old man took out a short wooden skewer as thin as a hair from his arms. Due to age, the above has lost its spirituality.
He looked at this wooden stick with emotion, and it was because of this thing that he picked up a life.
Ruan Ruan looked at it carefully, and always felt a little familiar.
As soon as he thought about it, a finger-thick branch appeared in his hand.
"It's not like that. ”
This branch is the branch of the Immortal Tree, the last time he refined the Realm Breaking Pill, he specially scavenged a lot from Zhu Zixin.
Compared with the old man's hand, it is not only a hundred times stronger in size and spirituality.
"Where did you get such a big Divine Cultivation Tree? The old man's eyes widened and he was excited. If it weren't for the fact that he was physically incapacitated now, he would almost have pounced and scrambled.
Ruan Ruan smiled slightly, the immortal tree has long been extinct in Zhongzhou, but he didn't expect to change its name here.
He only knew that it had the effect of improving longevity, but he didn't expect that there was also the beauty of warming the primordial spirit.
It is also a loss that Zhu Zixin picked this treasure and has been cultivating it in his body, otherwise this thing may be sealed in the dust of the years.
"When we meet, we are fated, and this thing will be given to you, and it should be used as compensation for you. Ruan said with a soft smile.
The old man ignored the fragility of his body and knelt down directly.
With tears in his cloudy eyes, he said loudly: "The grace of the adult's reinvention cannot be repaid below. ”
After suffering for half a lifetime, how can it not be exciting to see the hope of recovery.
The other party's cultivation is unfathomable, but it is unbelievable that he is so courteous to such a small low-level monk.
Ruan Ruan helped the old man up, and the information provided by the other party was very important to him.
He still has many branches of the immortal tree on his body, and he takes out a small piece and gives it away, which is harmless.
This visit was worth the trip, and the immortal tree was able to restore the original god, which helped him a lot in his actions, and also made him full of confidence in the trip to the immortal tomb.
Bidding farewell to the old man, he urged the Soul Suppression Star Tower, turned into a streamer, and flew in the direction of the immortal tomb.
Although the front is full of hardships and dangers, as long as the heart is vast, the light will never fade.
