Chapter III: Entrustment
The golden rune paper flew out of the hut, and with a bang, it exploded like firecrackers, blooming countless points of light, and falling from the sky like snowflakes.
The skeletons and ghosts, as well as the fish monster and the demon bird, were all stained with points of light.
The light seemed to be very corrosive, and the skeletons and ghosts only let out a few screams before falling to the ground, while the demon birds and fish monsters each screamed and fled, and fled without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Li Ling breathed a sigh of relief,
I only heard the old man say weakly: "Okay, you go to the island at dawn to look around, find the corpse of the fish monster and give it to me." ”
After speaking, he lay on the bed and fell asleep, but Li Ling couldn't sleep anymore, tossing and turning until the sky was bright, and as soon as he fell asleep in a daze, he was called up by the old man to find the fish demon.
Found a dying fish demon on the beach about a kilometer away from the thatched hut, this guy is more than two meters long, like a huge catfish, his body is covered with slime, seeing Li Ling can't help but struggle, a mouthful of blood can't help spurting out of his mouth.
Every time it struggled, there was a golden light blooming on its body, vaguely the spell drawn by the old man last night, suppressing this monster.
Li Ling stood beside him, and after confirming that the monster was not in danger, he stepped forward and grabbed the fish monster's cheeks and dragged him to the hut.
"Not even dead?"
The old man who saw the fish monster was a little surprised, and looked at the fish monster carefully: "It turned out to be a monster who opened the spiritual aperture, which is quite rare, and it is a pity to kill the Dan." ”
"What kind of monster with a spirit aura?" Li Ling asked curiously.
The old man patiently explained: "Ordinary monsters can only be spiritually intelligent and reborn if they have been cultivated for more than a hundred years, but some monsters are born with extraordinary talents, and their qualifications far exceed those of other similar kinds, and they can cultivate to the realm reached by other monsters in just a few decades,..."
"It turned out to be an elite monster. Li Ling was stunned.
The old man didn't know why, but he didn't pursue it, and said: "It's a pity that such a monster killed the Dan, it's better to make you a pet, maybe it will be a big help in the future." ”
"Pets?"
Li Ling was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly: "Okay." ”
Under the old man's instructions, Li Ling went to get some water, washed away the charm on the surface of the fish monster's body, and the old man drew a talisman again, let Li Ling drip a drop of blood on it, let the fish monster obey, and set a master-servant contract with the fish monster, and the old man handed over the control method to Li Ling, and asked him to put the fish monster into the sea.
In the following days, Li Ling began to practice the exercises taught by the old man, and under the guidance of the old man, he entered the country quickly, and in a hurry, half a year passed in a blink of an eye.
During this period, he naturally endured a lot of hardships, among which the pain was not for outsiders, but fortunately, he was finally able to persevere.
After the cultivation on this day, the old man called Li Ling to him, took out a token and codex, and said: "Today is the day of my military liberation, our fate has ended, and you will have to rely on your own cultivation in the future, this is the sect token and my half-life cultivation experience and some strange arts, which have been passed on to you together, you have to study it well." ”
Li Ling took it, silently, looked at the old man and did not speak.
"You are middle-class, strong-willed, I believe that I have not misjudged the wrong person, being able to accept you as an apprentice before the military is one of the few gratifying things in my life, and the burden of the sect's development in the future will be on you. The old man patted the young man on the shoulder, and his words changed: "Do you remember the few things I told you, tell me about them." ”
"If you can't forget it, you can rest assured. Li Ling glanced at the old man and said, "The first thing you asked me to do was to recognize you as a teacher and learn skills from you." ”
"The second thing is to promise to ask your name, I understand your good intentions, are you particularly bad outside? ”
The old man snorted, but did not refute, and seemed to acquiesce.
"The third thing is to protect your descendants in the world and keep them safe. ”
"The fourth is that after cultivating successfully, defeat Hua Tianzun of White Camel Mountain, Xu Yao of Qingyunmen, and Li Gang of Lingxi Island. ”
"It's these hypocrites, hypocrisy, they unite with those so-called decency, chasing Lao Tzu to hide in Tibet all day long, on the bright side is to eliminate harm in the cultivation realm, in fact, they want to snatch the treasure in my hands, although the old man can't wait to see the moment when they are discredited, but when I think that my apprentices defeat them, it is also a great pleasure in life, this thing must be done, otherwise the old man will not be blind. ”
Li Ling said for a while: "You can't defeat them with your skills, and I can't do it, right?"
"I believe in you, you can do it. ”
The old man's words made Li Ling a little speechless, and said with a sad face: "As for the last two things, there are some strong people who are more difficult, let me chase the Qionghua Fairy of the Ethereal Pavilion and the Bai Ningbing of the Ice and Snow Peak, and then throw them off, I said old guy, do you have any deep hatred with these two women? You also said that these two women are geniuses that are rare in the cultivation world for a hundred years, and their strength is even more powerful than those before them, oh! I know, it must be because you failed to court, so I hold a grudge, let me make up for this regret for you, you are playing with me, I said you are too boring!"
The old man snorted again, but the old face was rarely red, and said angrily: "You promise, or not, anyway, you have made an oath, this thing must be done, the two women are the best in the world, there is such a good thing, you kid actually pushes three and four, I don't know what to do." ”
"You..."Li Ling couldn't help laughing, "Okay, for the sake of your dying, I don't have the same knowledge as you, I will try my best to do things when the time comes, but success or not can only depend on destiny." ”
"And the revitalization of your Shangqing Sect, uh, is the revitalization of our Shangqing Sect, I said old man, you just saved my life, and you can't call me to death?"
"I'm going to die, won't you lie to me and make me happy?"
"Okay, okay, old man, you can go with confidence, I will naturally carry forward our Shangqing Sect after I become invincible in the world in the future. ”
The old man didn't answer again, he slowly raised his head, squinted and looked into the distance, his eyes were far away, as if he was remembering something.
The next moment, the bearded hair turned gray at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his face was quickly covered with wrinkles, and in an instant, he seemed to be dozens of years old.
Li Ling leaned down, bowed to the old man, and respectfully called Master.
"You kid has finally taught me Master. The old man shook his head and smiled, and said in a low voice: "There is one more thing I forgot to explain to you, the technique I taught you is called "Nine Trapped Dragon Decision", which is the supreme cultivation technique of martial arts, don't look at you now You are only cultivating to the first level, but the vigor and blood are far beyond ordinary people, it is enough to deal with the monsters on this island, you must not use it until you have to do it outside, so as not to cause others to covet it." ”
"This exercise has a characteristic, that is, after cultivating to the second layer, the flow of qi and blood in the body will become very slow, such as adding a heavy shackle to the body, and in the unitary time, the sub-hour two hours of true qi retrograde, the practitioner is extremely painful, it is for the 'trapped dragon', only by cultivating to the ninth layer of the Great Perfection, can the trapped dragon get out of trouble, soar into the sky, if you give up cultivation in the middle, you will definitely explode and die within five days, remember that no matter how difficult you encounter, you must not give up..."
Li Ling was dumbfounded, isn't this Nima a pit father, he cultivates hard all day long, how can he enjoy life, if he can't cultivate the ninth layer of Na Laoshizi in his life, will he have to endure suffering every day.
"There is another thing, it is about your identity, the piece of jade on your chest is not a mortal thing, even I don't know it, remember not to show it in front of people, when you cultivate to the realm of Yuanying in the future, you may be able to figure out your true identity with it..."
Li Ling was curious, and took out the piece of jade on his chest to play with.
This is a piece of jade carved into a bird, wings ready to fly, lifelike, it looks like a phoenix.
......
He suddenly looked up at the old man, who had closed his eyes.
