Chapter 14: The Inheritance of the Shepherd
Fifty miles northwest of Fengyuan City, in the Ziyang Mountain, the big trees are towering, inaccessible, and occasionally there are one or two demon beasts.
Between the two steep peaks, there is a narrow passage, if you don't pay attention to it, you may think that it is just a bush with some low shrubs, but at this time, two swift figures appeared, parting these shrubs and walking deeply.
"According to the map, after this canyon passage, there is a slightly larger valley, and it is almost to the location of the Shepherd's treasure. ”
Yuan Chen whispered to Yan'er, Yan'er didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, and Yuan Chen accelerated the speed of travel.
The sunlight had been tightly blocked by the mountain peaks, and it turned as black as night.
Yuan Chen suddenly signaled to stop, and Yan'er also faintly felt that not far ahead, there was a burst of dangerous breath coming over.
"It seems that the road is not peaceful. Yuan Chen whispered. The two held their breath and crept forward cautiously.
Just about to walk out of this passage, near the exit, there was a pitch-black demon beast, several zhang in size, with a huge bear head, curled up with its body, and made a burst of snoring sounds.
"Raging Demon Bear!" Yuan Chen and Yan'er were shocked at the same time. Berserk Demon Bear, the third-level demon beast recorded in the book, is infinitely close to the liberation realm, at this time, this bandeau is measured by Yuan Chen, but it is also at the peak of the life and death realm. "Be careful, don't wake it up. The smoke wrapped Yuan Li and a voice came to Yuan Chen's ears. Yan'er is the peak stage of the realm of life and death, and Yuan Chen is the middle stage of the realm of creation, which is enough to fight with the rampaging demon bear in front of them, but the purpose of the two of them today is to explore the treasure of the shepherd.
The two silently flashed into their mouths, and the entrenched berserk demon bear, who didn't seem to be aware of it, continued to purr evenly.
When I came out of the passage, I felt a sudden feeling of enlightenment. A small valley with a warm sunshine, green grass, a few unknown birds flying by, the occasional two or three butterflies, a stream flowing around the edge of the valley, and countless herbs, growing in incredible numbers. The whole valley is like a legendary fairyland, and it exists like two worlds outside.
The valley is not big, and the two of them walked for only about three moments, and then they came to the end, surrounded by cliffs, and the sound of water could be heard, and a waterfall hung down from the top of the cliff.
"According to the map, there is a cave in this waterfall, so I'll explore it first. Yuan Chen's figure jumped in the direction of the waterfall.
Inside the waterfall, there must be a cave, a clear cave, hidden by the waterfall, if there is no map information, ordinary people will never be able to find it.
Yuan Chen stood at the entrance of the cave, his body moved, but the water curtain was opened, and he had already returned to Yan'er's side.
"There's a cave behind the waterfall, let's go and see it together. Yan'er nodded, and Yuan Chen's figure flashed, and he came to the entrance of the cave behind the waterfall.
Yan'er took out a luminite stone from his bag, and the light instantly sprinkled the entire cavern. The cave is not large, countless vines spread across the entire stone wall, and there is a small pool in the cave, in which stands dozens of stones, covered with moss, as if someone had paved it a long time ago. The two stepped on the stone in turn, and Yuan Li was full of his body, and he walked forward cautiously. After walking for about twenty zhang, he came to a flat stone platform.
There was nothing else on the stone platform, it was also overgrown with vines, and it looked like no one had been here for many years.
Yuan Chen and Yan'er were around, pushing aside the vines and searching.
Yuan Chen's happy voice suddenly reached Yan'er's ears:
"Actually, I found it!"
Yan'er looked at Yuan Chen's point, and on the stone wall, there was a stone that was different from other places, much smoother than other places, and there was a small groove on it, which was obviously man-made.
Yuan Chen and Yan'er tried various methods, but the stone did not move at all. Yuan Chen's heart moved, and he took out the jade piece he had bought in Linhe Town from his bag, and the jade piece was covered with ancient patterns, revealing a trace of aura. Yuan Chen put the jade piece towards the groove on the stone, and the size and thickness just matched.
After a "squeak" roar, a stone gate appeared on the mountain wall on the stone platform.
At this moment, a figure also appeared near the Berserk Demon Bear they had encountered earlier, with a smug smile on its face.
"I didn't expect this kid to really find ......" This person is the lean man in Fengyuan City who sold parchment to Yuan Chen.
The lean man was about to walk forward, but the blood-red eyes of the berserk demon bear suddenly opened, staring in the direction where he was, and with a roar, even the earth trembled.
"This ......" the thin man hesitated, "Okay, I'll wait here, I'm afraid you won't come out?"
The lean man held his breath, and his figure was gone.
Yuan Chen and Yan'er didn't know what was happening outside the valley, they were still excited about the appearance of this stone gate, because they knew that they were getting closer and closer to this treasure.
Entering the stone gate, there are a lot of weapons, pill bottles, cheats and so on. On a flat stone platform in the center, there is a large coffin made of black crystal.
In the big coffin, a figure could be faintly seen lying quietly inside, Yuan Chen and Yan'er didn't move any items, but walked straight to the coffin, bowed deeply to the end, and said softly with a serious face:
"Presumably, the predecessors in the coffin are the shepherds, and the younger generations Yuan Chen, Yan'er, have a chance, and see you today. ”
At this time, in the coffin, there was a white light gathered, and in an instant it turned into countless dazzling lights, rising into the sky, and quickly condensed into a human shape in front of Yuan Chen and Yan'er, and an old man in a cyan brocade robe appeared, with white hair and kind eyes, wisps of long hair floating on his chest, and a fairy wind and bones, looking at the two with a smile.
"The younger generations, since they have come to my bed, since they are destined for me, and they have not touched the treasures, they will come to see them first, which shows that the character is not bad......"
At this point, the old man's sleeve flicked slightly, and after a burst of mechanical sound, there was no sound.
"The mechanism is to prevent those greedy people, you two are fine, these are redundant, and they have been broken by me. ”
Yuan Chen and Yan'er couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat in their palms, if they came in, they would be in a hurry to collect these treasures such as pills and weapons, I am afraid that they will definitely not be able to take them away.
"These two cheats, for the two of you."
The old man waved his hand lightly, and the two old yellowed books had already floated in front of Yuan Chen and Yan'er, and the two took them with both hands and thanked them again and again.
Yan'er got it very coincidentally, it was a set of "Ethereal Whip Method", but what Yuan Chen got was the legendary "Thunder Control Technique".
The old man said again:
"The Heavenly Realm, the Human Realm, and the Yellow Springs, these three worlds were originally peaceful, but I was afraid that a few old ghosts in Huangquan were ready to move...... But the rest, in my current state, is also powerless. ”
"Yuan Chen, Yan'er, you may fulfill your wish for the old man and keep the peace of the Three Realms?"
"We are willing!" replied Yuan Chen and Yan'er in unison.
"Then, everything here, you can use it, the old man is a remnant of knowledge, since someone is willing to fulfill my wish for me, I don't have to worry about it. ”
"The big bear at the entrance of the valley, but it's still there?"
"In ......"
Yuan Chen and Yan'er replied.
A black token was gently sent to Yuan Chen by the old man, and the antique font of "Muwang" was engraved on it.
"Take this token, he will know that you are my descendant, and he will listen to your orders, before you enter the valley, but you find out that he is in the realm of liberation? haha~"
The old man smiled heartily again.
Yuan Chen and Yan'er nodded hurriedly.
"Actually, that's his hidden strength, when my body fell, he was already in the realm of the Martial King, so many years have passed, I don't know if there is any improvement, maybe in the future, I can also help you wait. ”
Demon beasts already have a longer survival period than human beings, and the demon beasts of the Martial King Realm already belong to the seventh-level demon beasts, and the demon beasts of this level, in addition to being able to compete with a sect master with domineering ability, can already speak human language. Fortunately, they didn't force their hands when they entered, and Yuan Chen and Yan'er were secretly glad at this time.
The old man then swept his gaze to Yuan Chen and Yan'er,
"Yuanchen Xiaoyou, the Five Elements Bead in your body is a little interesting, and when you cultivate to the top, you will have a five-color brilliance, which will be of great help to your cultivation......"
Only then did Yuan Chen know that the golden bead in the dantian was called the Five Elements Bead.
"Miss Yan'er, that book of "Ethereal Whip Method" is very suitable for women's cultivation, and with the improvement of cultivation, it has a certain auxiliary effect on body method and speed. ”
Yan'er thanked again and again.
"You're welcome...... Then, after these trivial matters are explained, the old man's residual knowledge is afraid that it will disappear. I hope the two little friends can treat the big bear well, this time it's really going to sleep for a long time......"
With that, the old man smiled, and his figure slowly faded and disappeared without a trace.
Yuan Chen and Yan'er knelt down in front of the coffin again, and in the coffin, the faint old man in the blue brocade robe was already asleep, but it was lifelike. On the stone platform, there are deep runes drawn by fingers, and the bottom should be what the king of Mu said, a demon in the suppressed Huangquan.
At the same time, the berserk demon bear in the valley opened its eyes again, with the slightest fluctuation,
"My king, the inheritor, have you found it......?"
In a mountain villa in the Golden City, an old woman who seemed to be over eighty years old, closed her eyes, but suddenly shed two clear tears,
"You, after all, are immortals......"
