Chapter 22: The Old Man
"What's going on? where is this?" Miscellaneous Mao looked around, his voice trembling a little, obviously a little scared.
Yang Jueyuan's face was not very good. There was no reply, because he didn't know either.
The four of them pressed the raised stone together, but the stone door did not open, but the ground under their feet collapsed.
The ground under the machine stone led to a different place, and he and Miscellaneous Fur fell into this small stone room, but they didn't know where the old fox and the wild dog had fallen.
"There should be an exit, otherwise how did we get in?" Yang Jueyuan groped for a while, but still didn't find anything, he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, and asked himself.
"We fell, but it's just a stone wall, and there's no exit at all!" Miscellaneous Mao scratched his head and recalled.
Looking up, the top stone wall is smooth and translucent, with a little water droplets hanging on it, and there is a sense of playfulness in the tranquility.
Yang Jueyuan's brows furrowed again, as if he felt that something was wrong, but it was fleeting and he couldn't hold it.
Stretched out his hand and rubbed the black mole on his eyebrows, and his consciousness slowly dispersed, one meter, two meters, three meters............ Gradually.
But until he reached the limit of his control, there was still no barrier, and his divine consciousness was empty, as if the stone walls around him did not exist at all, and he was in the void, without any sense, not even the miscellaneous hair around him.
Yang Jueyuan was a little flustered, and he didn't understand why the divine consciousness that existed like radar suddenly lost its effect, and the radar could fail, could it be that the divine consciousness was also broken?
"What is this?" Zamao's voice came, Yang Jueyuan looked back, and saw Zamao walking to the corner of the wall, stepping on a stone on the ground with his foot, the raised stone, a stone that was very similar to the dark red bulge on the stone wall next to the ninth gate above.
"Don't step on the ......" Yang Jueyuan was shocked, for fear that he would encounter any more organ prohibitions, so that the two of them would be completely abolished here.
There was a soft sound of "click......, and the miscellaneous hair stepped on the convex stone, and then looked at Yang Jueyuan apologetically.
Yang Jueyuan closed his eyes, thinking to himself, this stone room doesn't know how to get out, and now there is another layer of formation prohibition, I'm afraid it's really fierce.
"What's wrong?" waited for a while, but what I imagined didn't happen, but the voice of stray hair was heard.
Slowly opened his eyes, looking at the miscellaneous hair with an innocent expression, Yang Jueyuan had an urge to go up and beat him up.
was about to open his mouth to reprimand two sentences, but he heard a "click" sound again, but it was a little crisper than just now, and then "click...... Click...... The ...... sound grew more and more coherent and denser and louder, until it almost sounded in my ears.
Miscellaneous Mao jumped up this time and shouted, "It's not me, I didn't make it!" shouted as he ran to Yang Jueyuan's side, his eyes looking around.
Yang Jueyuan was also panicked, but before he could speak, an old voice sounded in his ears, "Welcome to you, my children......" The speed of speech was slow but straight to his heart.
As the sound sounded, the stone chamber that surrounded them also changed, the solid wall dissolved little by little, dissipated like the wind, and the dome slowly melted, revealing a piece of turquoise.
A forest, with towering ancient trees and lush foliage, lingers like a ribbon of water mist, making this place as beautiful as the Nine Heavens Immortal Forest.
Yang Jueyuan didn't have the heart to enjoy the beautiful scenery, but glanced at each other with Zamao, both showing surprised expressions, not knowing what was going on, how could he come to this jungle.
"I didn't expect that in the end it would be two little ones who had just enlightened their spirits. It was the old voice again, very soft, very slow, faintly coming from afar.
Yang Jueyuan and Zamao looked at the sound, only to see that in the depths of the dense forest and in the mist, a short figure gradually appeared.
An old man in a white robe, with a cane in his hand, came slowly.
Miscellaneous hair blinked his eyes, rarely without speaking, just looked at the old man silently, and raised his two thin eyebrows lightly.
Yang Jueyuan's tiger eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the old man who came in front of him, with a solemn face.
Although the divine sense cannot be explored, the approximate strength of a person or demon can also be judged by instinctive spiritual perception, but the old man in front of him does not have the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power, as if this person does not exist at all, and it is the first time he has encountered this situation after coming to this world for so long.
The old man didn't pay attention to their expressions, but said sadly: "Since it's you who came, it proves that my nine-tailed fox clan is really gone......"
Nine-tailed fox? Yang Jueyuan was stunned for a moment, glanced at the miscellaneous hair that was also stunned, and then looked at the mysterious old man in front of him with some doubts.
"In the first war, the clansmen were almost dead, and there were no more than a hundred left, and they were all little guys with low cultivation and ordinary qualifications, and now that it has been so long, I am afraid that they have been killed by those murderous heavenly soldiers long ago. ”
He sighed, and his expression was visibly lowered, as if he had been hit by something.
After pondering for a moment, the old man raised his eyes and looked at Yang Jueyuan and Zamao, a little, and nodded: "A hundred years of enlightenment, only one step away from the middle stage, although the qualifications are not too good, but they are enough."
After speaking, his body straightened up, and he said in a loud voice: "Are you two willing to worship me as a teacher, cultivate the supreme avenue, and achieve the honorable position?"
Edamame rolled his eyes, and did not answer immediately, but dared to ask softly, "Who are you?
Yang Jueyuan glanced at him and didn't say anything, because he also wanted to figure out the answer.
The old man smiled when he heard this, "It's the old man's heart, this is not the real world, but the old man's knowledge of the sea, and I am just a remnant soul that has not completely disappeared." ”
Yang Jueyuan was at a loss, thinking that this old man was the great demon of the Transformation Realm who forcibly performed the ancient forbidden technique and sealed the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan's treasure dungeon more than five hundred years ago, but he didn't expect that he not only sealed the dungeon but also left a remnant soul.
The old man's following words proved that his guess was right, and he only heard him say: "A long time ago, the heavenly court sent troops to suppress my fox clan, and our clan resisted to the death, but the strength was helpless, and finally he was unable to return to the sky. But the tribe died tragically, the tribe was wiped out, even if I had the power to do it, what could I do?
After a pause, the old man looked up at the dense leaves that covered his eyes, and said with a sad face: "I didn't run away, I want to live and die with my clansmen." But I didn't expect him to appear there, but the friendship of hundreds of years is really no match for the high-ranking official Houlu" sighed, paused again, turned his face to look at Yang Jueyuan and Zamao, the sadness on his face gradually turned into a trace of anger, "Seeing the clansmen fall one by one, their bodies are gradually cold, my heart is no longer warm, the clansmen are gone, and the clans are scattered, so what do I have to be nostalgic for? But even if they die, I will not let their plans succeed, don't you just want those things left over from the ancients? Okay, I just won't give it to you." So I cast the Ancient Forbidden Technique to seal this dungeon that had existed for 10,000 years, and of course, the price was very high, and that was - my life,"
