Xu Bufan and the girl in red walked to the edge of the valley step by step along the road they came.

The girl in red has lost all her mana, and her physique has been suppressed like ordinary people, and along the way, she relied on Xu Bufan to drive away poisonous insects and beasts. Basically, most of the fierce beasts fled far away after seeing Xu Bufan, and only a few venomous snakes that did not have long eyes were frightened and ejected, and they were all slashed into several pieces by the fast-eyed young man wielding a stone knife.

Along the way, the two talked about everything, most of the time Xu Bufan told the girl in red about his experience of living in the valley, and the girl in red listened carefully and interjected a sentence from time to time. Xu Bufan has never said so many words in his life.

When the dense trees thinned and the scene outside the valley was revealed, the two men knew what was going to happen, and they stopped talking and hurried in silence.

"I'll send you here, go another fifty feet, and even if you leave the valley, your abilities can be used again. Xu Bufan suddenly stopped and said with a calm head.

The girl looked at him in surprise and said, "Why don't you accompany me for a while and see the world beyond the valley." ”

Xu Bufan shook his head and said in a resolute tone: "My mother said that I can't leave the valley until I become the most powerful person in the valley." When I kill the tiger, I'll get out of here. ”

There was a hint of murder in Xu Bufan's eyes.

The girl glanced at the boy in surprise, but did not ask. She nodded lightly, her little hand reached into the neckline, and under the stunned gaze of the young man, she took out an emerald green jade pendant from the neckline with a crimson face and handed it to Xu Bufan.

Xu Bufan took the jade pendant with a red face and carefully held it in the palm of his hand.

"This is my family's ancestral treasure, if one day, you leave here, go to Moyuntian to find me. Do you know?" the girl looked at the young man, her eyes clear and bright.

The boy nodded emphatically.

The girl smiled and said, "Mo Yuntian is far away from here, if you can't go, don't throw it away, it can at least bless your children and grandchildren with a safe life." ”

The boy looked at the girl with blazing eyes and promised, "I will go." ”

The girl in red sighed, waved her hand at Xu Bufan, and continued to walk forward, and the red figure quickly disappeared behind the tree trunk. The lifespan of a cultivator will be extended with the ascension of the realm, only the foundation building period will have a lifespan of three hundred years, and after the promotion to the enlightenment period, it will increase by two hundred years, and then up, after the fusion period, after entering the heartbeat period, the lifespan will be even longer, a thousand years long.

And the life span of mortals is mostly fifty or sixty years.

Perhaps, when the years pass, the boy has become a gray-bearded old man, and after seeing the jade pendant, he will remember a wonderful experience he had when he was young.

Xu Bufan kept standing in place, staring at the direction in which the girl left, motionless like a stake. Holding the jade pendant given by the girl tightly in his hand, the palm of his hand was hot.

Hey, this temperature is not right, why is it so hot?

Xu Bufan came back from his contemplation, spread his palm in surprise, and saw that the emerald jade pendant given by the girl was emitting a faint green light, and it was getting hotter and hotter.

The young man frowned, but he was unwilling to throw away the jade pendant, and endured the burning of the jade pendant like a stone.

Suddenly, the glowing jade pendant flew away from his palm, turned into a ball of light, and flew towards the valley.

Xu Bufan screamed strangely, and chased the jade pendant that flew away, fortunately, the speed of the jade pendant was not fast, Xu Bufan was agile, walking like flying in the jungle, and he could follow closely behind the jade pendant.

As if self-conscious, the jade pendant followed a peculiar route, turning left and right, and flew for an hour, from the north end of the valley to the south end. Although Xu Bufan had begun to gasp for breath and had a few blood marks on his face, the young man's eyes never left the jade pendant, and he unswervingly chased the jade pendant.

Smack!

The flying jade pendant suddenly lost its strength and fell to the ground.

Xu Bufan hurriedly quickened his pace, picked up the jade pendant, and held it tightly in the palm of his hand.

After holding it like this for a quarter of an hour, the jade pendant did not get hot anymore, nor did it break free from the palm, Xu Bufan carefully opened the palm of his hand, looked at the jade pendant carefully, and then held it in the palm of his hand again, while looking at the surrounding environment.

The young man looked at the scenery around him, and his brow gradually furrowed. It was a hollow at the southern end of the valley, and he had been there, but it was then, and there was no cave in front of him.

In front of Xu Bufan, a deep and wide cave opened like the mouth of a giant python. The jade pendant fell at the entrance of the cave, as if it was specially guiding him here.

Xu Bufan stood outside the cave, thought carefully for half an hour, and finally made a decision, took out the stone knife on his waist, raised his legs, and walked into the deep and dim cave.

The cave is long and winding, but the cave is huge, two meters high at its narrowest point, and at intervals, there is a glowing wall that acts as a light.

Xu Bufan walked in the cave for an hour, and he didn't reach the end of the cave, and he didn't encounter anything on the way. But the young man was not impatient, and the vigilance condensed between his eyebrows was not eliminated, and he continued to move forward without hurrying.

After another hour, a bright light appeared in front of him, and after Xu Bufan slowed down his steps and touched it, he found that the end of the cave was a cloud of golden light. When he touched the golden light, his eyes suddenly darkened, and when he regained his clarity again, he was already in a very large stone room.

This stone chamber is fifty zhang long and fifty zhang wide, and above it is a pitch-black void, which is very empty. Only a large golden pillar peeked down from the void and stuck in the very center of the stone chamber. The further down this golden pillar became, the smaller its diameter became, and when it connected to the end of the pitch-black void, it was a full zhang long in diameter, and when it reached the surface, it was no longer the thickness of a bucket. From it, a bright, soft golden light emitted from it, which was also the source of light for the entire stone chamber.

At the end of the golden pillar, a thin, unkempt prisoner was tightly tied. Eight golden chains extended from the golden pillar, piercing his lute bone and nailing him to the golden pillar.

The prisoner was thin, with thin limbs and long, unkempt hair, which hung down to the ground, obscuring his countenance. And he didn't die, after sensing Xu Bufan's existence, he raised his head slightly and hung down again.

Xu Bufan walked to the center of the stone room, stood in front of the golden pillar, looked at this person, and did not speak for a long time.

This person also remained as he was, silently.

Xu Bufan suddenly turned around, and after turning around along the edge of the stone chamber, he returned to the thin prisoner, and suddenly asked, "How long have you been here?"

The thin prisoner shook his head, as if he had fallen into a long memory, and only said after a while: "Ten thousand years." ”

His voice was bitter and heavy.

10,000 years!

If what this prisoner said is true, he is a cultivator with Mahayana strength, looking at the Yunmeng Continent, the only Mahayana ancestor has been seated three thousand years ago, according to the records, at that time, the Yunmeng Continent rained nine days and nine nights of light and rain in a row, many monks in the bottleneck period bathed in the light and rain and broke through, and there were ordinary people who had not cultivated the truth overnight to promote the foundation building realm, and a large number of heavenly treasures, rare beasts and spiritual pets also evolved and matured in a short period of time, creating a heyday that lasted for thousands of years.

Xu Bufan didn't know the real thing, and what he cared about was not that he had lived so long as a thin prisoner, but-

The boy walked up to the lean prisoner and swung his stone knife sharply, looking at the golden chains that extended from the golden pillars. The golden chains clanged, but they didn't move.

"What do you do?"

The thin prisoner looked up in surprise.

The boy told him the answer with his actions, raised the stone knife again, and slashed heavily at the golden chain, only to see a golden lightning bolt ejected from the golden chain, easily shattering the falling stone knife, and the force of the shock made the boy take a few steps back.

"Hahahaha, why do you want to save me?" the thin prisoner suddenly understood, and laughed in surprise, "Do you know why I'm trapped here, because I was—"

Xu Bufan rubbed his numb arm, threw away the stone knife in distress, took out a stone axe from behind him, aimed it at the golden chain, and said expressionlessly: "No matter what kind of crime you have committed, it is enough to be trapped here for 10,000 years." ”

When the boy finished saying this, time suddenly stood still for a moment.

The thin prisoner's body shook, as if he had received some kind of blow, and fell into a state of stupor. And the golden chain emitted a crisp and pleasant sound, and seemed to agree with this statement, only to see wisps of golden light spread out from the golden chain, all of which were submerged into the stone axe held by Xu Bufan.

When time resumed flowing again, the golden pillars and golden chains had become dim, but the stone axe in Xu Bufan's hand emitted a dazzling golden light, easily cutting off a chain.

Xu Bufan was also stunned when he cut off the golden iron chain with an axe, he took the axe in front of him and looked at it carefully, but saw that the rough stone axe was still rough and had turned into a golden axe.

After a brief moment of consternation, the boy swung his axe in succession, severing the remaining seven chains.

Xu Bufan cut off the chains that bound the thin prisoner, and the thin prisoner looked at the broken chains in a daze, and after a while, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, his laughter was full of grief and bitterness.

The thin prisoner laughed for a quarter of an hour before he slowly stopped and said softly: "Ten thousand years is enough, is that so? Everything in the past is over, is it so? Perhaps, all this has already ended, but I don't know it yet." ”

After he said this, he looked at Xu Bufan calmly, and then at the golden pillar above his head, as if asking two different people.

It's like asking yourself.

Xu Bufan frowned and looked at this person, he was quite puzzled in his heart, this person used a pendant to lure him over, didn't he just want him to help restore his freedom? He saved him, but he looked reluctant.

He looked at the golden axe in his hand again, and the surging power coming from the axe also puzzled him.

At this time, he noticed that the light in front of him was getting brighter and brighter, even obscuring the light from the golden axe's hair.

He looked up in surprise, only to see bursts of golden light suddenly emanating from the thin prisoner's body, especially behind him, giving birth to three bright circles of light on the back of the neck. Sitting peacefully in the golden light, the thin prisoner slowly recited a verse: "There is nothing, there is nothing." There is a law in the three worlds, but there is nothing to be done. ”

With these verses, the light of his body bloomed again, and a plump and majestic figure appeared, this figure was tall and powerful, with a golden crown on his head, wearing gold armor, and his eyes were as sharp as cold lightning.

After a while, this majestic figure suddenly turned into a big eagle eagle with eyes in all directions, chirped, and spread its wings to pounce on Xu Bufan.

Xu Bufan wanted to dodge, but it was too late, and he watched the golden eagle fly in front of him and sink into his chest.

All the light also dissipated in that instant.

When Xu Bufan came back to his senses, the thin prisoner on the golden pillar had disappeared, but a middle-aged monk with a bare head and a kind smile stood in front of him.

The middle-aged monk is seven points similar to the previous Jinjia people, but he is very kind-faced, his eyes are also very gentle, he looked at Xu Bufan with a smile, and said with one palm: "Thank you to the little benefactor, enlighten the poor monk." ”

Xu Bufan turned his head to look around, but he couldn't find the thin prisoner, nor did he see the golden armor, and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"

The middle-aged monk rolled his eyes, touched his head, seemed to have figured out the answer, and saluted seriously: "I am the Buddha." ”

Xu Bufan was not a cultivator, so he didn't know the true meaning of this sentence, so he pointed to the location where the thin prisoner was before, and asked, "What about him?"

"He, who used to be a delusional man, has let go of his obsession and returned to the dust because he was enlightened by a small benefactor. The middle-aged monk smiled slightly.

Xu Bufan thought for a while and said, "Just now, I also saw a golden armor person. ”

"Hehe, that man, used to be a great character too. The middle-aged monk didn't seem to intend to explain too much, and re-said, "In order to thank the little donor for his enlightenment, the little donor has a heart that is rare in the world, and he will have great achievements in the future." The poor monk is willing to do one thing for the little benefactor as a reward. No matter what the requirements are, the poor monk will do it for the little benefactor. ”

Xu Bufan originally had too many questions, but as soon as the monk said this, he immediately asked, "Can you do any request?"

The monk smiled slightly: "The monks don't speak. ”

"Can people be brought back from the dead?" Xu Bufan took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, and asked in a trembling voice.

Only then will people realize that he is just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child, with the innocence and dreams that a teenager should have.
