Chapter 18: Gold
The moon and stars are scarce, and everything is silent.
Qi Tian shrank behind the stones, but he still felt cold, as if the wind here was everywhere, and it could bypass the grass and pass through the stones to hit people directly, like thousands of fine needles piercing the skin, painful and cold.
Qi Tian fell asleep in a daze, and in his dream it was snowing heavily, and he walked alone from the campus to his home, and then walked from home to a white snowfield.
When it was dawn, Qi Tian woke up, his whole body was sore, his limbs were stiff, and every time he moved, it took a lot of effort. By the time he stood up, he was already tired and sweating profusely.
When Qi Tian was about to continue to find his way out, an object on the ground flashed twice in the light of the sky, attracting all of Qi Tian's attention.
He fixed his eyes on the bronze skull that the rabbit knocked down yesterday, "It's a pity to lose it." β
Qi Tian took the bronze skull the size of a fingernail into his arms, pulled two handfuls of clean grass from the ground, and chewed and ate it like this, he needed water, he needed to replenish his strength, and it was much better to eat grass than to be hungry.
After wandering around this mountain for so long, Qi Tian probably knew that there must be a forbidden place that he couldn't see, if not, there must be a lot of snakes and insects in this kind of mountain and wild place, and now he has not seen any other living creatures except for a crazy rabbit.
If it weren't for this prohibition, there would have been a lot of wild beasts in the mountains, and it would have been possible for him to be buried in the belly of the beast, but again, there were no rats or birds here, so he had no source of food.
"Hey, you idiot, how do you eat grass? haha......"
Qi Tian shook the sound and swallowed the grass in his mouth, and looked towards the place where the sound came from, and at this glance he saw a gray fluttering bird like a sparrow standing on a branch in front of him.
This bird held its head high, the big eyes of mung beans looked at Qi Tian condescendingly, the coat color was messy, the body was small like a quail, but the feathers were dull, in short, it was very sloppy, very ugly, and even Qi Tian squinted, this bird also had a bulge on the chest of a grain of rice, which looked very weird.
"Hey, you idiot!How can you be so unreasonable? You Grandpa Jin and I are not standing here for you to observe, put away your thief's eyes for me!Hmph~" Jin Zi snorted coldly, and he didn't understand why he came to take this nerd back to Qingyun Sect, it was just a small ecstasy array, dealing with a few rabbits and a few snakes, and he actually trapped a big living person for a day.
"Yo he," Jin Zi looked at Qi Tian and quietly took two steps back, his upper body arched slightly, his legs bent, and his obvious offensive and defensive posture, "If you Grandpa Jin want to clean you up, I only need to flick my fingernails, no matter how many fancy shelves you put on, it's useless!"
"The Qingyun Sect monk sent you to take me back?" Qi Tianluo guessed this possibility after thinking about it, "Who sent you?"
"Hmph, the matter that the two little disciples in the foundation building period asked me for, Grandpa Jin, I have always been kind to others, so I naturally agreed. Jin Zi held his head high, but no one felt the sourness in this bird's heart, it has been in Qingyun Sect for nearly ten years, and it is just an errand-running, talking strange bird.
When it comes to sadness, it doesn't want to say more, "Come with me!"
Qi Tian watched the ugly bird fly away without saying a word, gritted his teeth, ran all the way, and followed the ugly bird.
After running for almost two hours, the ugly bird took Qi Tian to a clearing made of stone slabs, but it was not where the stone house halfway up the mountain that Qi Tian saw at the beginning.
"You wait here for a while, and someone will take you to the place where the outer disciples eat and live. The ugly bird scratched a fried gray feather on its wings, "If you want me to say that you idiot should hurry up and go back and forth, the path of cultivating immortals is not suitable for you." β
Qi Tian remembered that this was the third sentence he heard after coming to this world, "The path of cultivating immortals is not suitable for you", Jiang Lingyue said this, the dead real person said this, and now every bird says so?
The corners of Qi Tian's mouth tugged at a wicked smile, "Where are you going back and forth?" β
He took a deep breath and looked up at the sky, "How can I go back! I will never go back if I don't go down this road!"
"If you have a long way, you can let Big Mouth send it to you!After all, he is a real person of Yuanying, and his strength is very strong!" Jin Zi looked at Qi Tian's sad and angry expression, and there was also a faint trace of something in his heart that made it painful, that was the fact that it had always covered up with itself, and it was something that it had lived for so long and was still running away.
"My real name is Qi Tian, and I am Qi Tian of the Monkey King! I should indulge in wanton and lawlessness in my life, and I should stand up to the heavens and the earth and avoid ghosts and ghosts in death! What are the difficulties and dangers now!"
The long-pent-up emotions erupted in silence, no one knew what he had experienced, it was the helpless unwillingness of his friend's death, the loneliness of more than ten years of starry sky road, the guilt of his parents who were unserved, and the helplessness of chasing his dreams but frustration.
A blood-red light in Qi Tian's eyes flashed like an illusion, he looked up at this Fang Tian, looking at the bright red sunset, "I myself have long chosen the road for myself that has no way out, I only know that I have to overcome obstacles, I have to keep moving forward, I can't relax, not even a point! This is my own choice, even if it is bloody, climb, I have to climb to the end!"
At this moment, there was a loud bang in the mountain, and a black cloud appeared out of thin air.
Jin Zi still looked at Qi Tian blankly, and then casually touched a small spot on its chest, full of loneliness, it was rare that it did not call himself "Grandpa Jin" and said, "It seems that there is a foundation building monk in the mountain who is about to break through to Jindan, I will take you to take a closer look, there will be a spiritual energy vortex generation in a while, for mortals like you who have not built a foundation, it is very beneficial for the spiritual energy to wash the body." β
Qi Tian hesitated for a moment and nodded firmly.
The gold flew to Qi Tian's close position, and then two small claws grabbed Qi Tian's neck, and he flew up at once!
Qi Tian was hung by his clothes and his feet left the ground, only to find that he was actually pulled up and flew by a quail-sized bird!"Sure enough, what kind of cultivation are you?"
Jin Zi didn't expect Qi Tian, a five or six-year-old child, to look at it without weight, and it was not light to pull it up, and he suddenly felt that it was just impulsive, "You Grandpa Jin and I have naturally cultivated, otherwise you have seen a bird that can pull you up and fly? As for cultivation! The cultivation methods of our spirit beasts are different from those of you humans, so naturally there is no way to say it." β
Qi Tianxin Dao can pull people up There are many birds, such as huge eagles and eagles, but I have never seen such a small but powerful one.
"But it's not easy for you, a kid, to be so determined to cultivate, and to set such a high goal. Jin Zi paused, "It's just that you are not destined to be able to achieve it, in this era, where is there still a great sage? The monk practice system and the like have entered the prosperous era, but the rules of the Great Dao are becoming more and more broken, and the broken void has become the highest and most demanding." How many great sages have there been since ancient times?"
"The Great Sage isβ"
"Since ancient times, the human race has begun to rise, and now there have been eight great emperors, and under the emperor is the great sage, these are all legendary existences, you can pick the stars and the moon, how can you understand?" Jin Zi pouted, almost biting its tongue.
As he was talking, Jin Zi let go of his claws and threw Qi Tian to the ground, "You just sit here for a while! β
Qi Tian stood up with a carp, and then looked at a man in a silver-white robe standing in the middle of an empty square thousands of kilometers away, holding a sword in his hand, constantly pinching against the thunder and lightning from the sky.
One after the other, each as finger-thick, the lightning bolts slashed straight at a three-colored bead the size of a quail egg above the monk's head.
On this side of the monk, three monks floated side by side, and from time to time they said something to the monk who had crossed the catastrophe.
"See, those three floating are the three Jin Dan elders of the sect, this is for the new elder to protect the Dharma! This Jin Dan is three-colored, and it is just an average level!"
"What do you need to prepare?" Qi Tian didn't know anything about cultivation, so he had to ask this bird at this time.
"Nerd, just hold your breath and feel the aura. Jin Zi also shook his claws excitedly, waiting to absorb a little more of the aura fed by this heaven and earth.
Suddenly, a lightning bolt the thickness of a baby's arm struck directly on the monk's golden pill, and the monk spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body was smashed directly into the stone slab!
"Okay, after withstanding this final blow, the Jin Dan has already become!" The three Jin Dan elders glanced at each other with a smile on their faces, "My Qingyun Sect has added another Jin Dan elder!
At this moment, in the shattered stone slab, the monk stood up with difficulty, the three-colored golden pill rose and fell above his head, and the dark clouds in the sky instantly emitted a purple-red light, and the rich aura filled the heavens and the earth!
"Hurry up, hurry up, it's coming!" Jin Zi reminded, it looked around, and there was no good position to squat, so it flew directly to Qi Tian's shoulder, grabbed the corner of Qi Tian's clothes, and closed the bird's eyes.
Qi Tian held his breath and concentrated, but he didn't know what the aura was, his eyes widened, and he felt a burst of vitality around him, like the breath of grass and trees budding after the spring rain.
He looked at the world in front of him, he saw the dark clouds dissipate and the purple-red light dissipated, but he just couldn't see the aura!
The real person of the past life once said that he used his eyes as the root of his spirit, and his eyes were the only place on his body where he could feel the aura, but why couldn't he see it!
Until the purple-red light completely dissipated, Qi Tian didn't feel anything except that he felt that he had regained some strength.
Qi Tian exhaled a breath of turbidity, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he looked at Jinzi, "Let's go!"
What no one noticed was that the moment Qi Tian closed his eyes, a trace of aura instantly penetrated his eyes and returned to the dantian! And the bronze skull on his body also disappeared because of this trace of aura aura.
