Chapter 1: Black Stone
In the endless void, there are no stars, no life, only the vast night sky. And in such a vast nothingness, there are huge stones, and the stones stand in the void with fangs and claws, like a hideous monster.
And in this lonely and cold nothingness, a figure slowly stepped into the air, his face was old, but his eyes were blazing, with indescribable perseverance. When the old man falls in one step, it is a billions of scenes, but in such a lonely and cold vastness, it only seems to be a drop in the ocean.
At this moment, the old man seemed to sense something, and looked up at the vastness in the depths. The old man's face was overflowing with joy, and he immediately rushed forward.
I don't know how many years have passed, because I can't feel time in this nothingness. At this time, the old man came to the edge of a continent, which showed a blue-purple glow, and in this dark and cold vastness, it looked magnificent and beautiful.
In the circle of this world, there are also countless huge stones shaped like fierce beasts, and at this time, they seem to be alarmed by the arrival of the old man, and one of the huge stones trembles slightly. The boulder had an indescribable aura, as if it were alive, and there were ten bands of stones behind the boulder, as if dragging ten tails. And at that moment, one of the banded stones shook with a bang and smashed into the world below like a comet.
"Huh?" the old man seemed to be shocked by this magical scene, but he had seen it too many times along the way, and he didn't pay much attention to it. The old man froze and looked at the world below, his eyes showing a look of deduction.
"In this world, this realm will give birth to a Heaven Stepping Realm powerhouse who comprehends the six realms of reincarnation, and the next realm will give birth to a Heaven Realm powerhouse who comprehends the origin of the rules. In the endless expanse, I have already pursued three worlds, and I will definitely wait here!"
There were stars in the old man's eyes, as if countless worlds were being born and destroyed.
The birth of the stars, the disillusionment of the stars, the time is gloomy, and in the cold and dark expanse, ten eons have passed, but in the eternal darkness, there has never been a trace of waves.
"Our lives have come to an end......"
In the endless void, there are no stars, no life, only the vast night sky. And in such a vast nothingness, there are huge stones, and the stones stand in the void with fangs and claws, like a hideous monster.
One of the stones, strangely shaped, resembled a roaring beast, with nine tails trailing behind it...... It's just that these nine stone tails look extremely incongruous, and they always feel like something is missing. However, if you walk into this big rock, you will find that this is a small continent, there are sun, moon and stars, birds and insects, blue sky and clear water, red flowers and green trees, so full of vitality.
On this continent with only a radius of 10,000 feet, there are nine thatched huts in one of them, and the nine thatched huts stand around a huge dragon claw locust tree, and under this dragon claw locust tree that is hundreds of meters high, a stone table is set up, and the stone table traces are mottled, and it seems that it has experienced wind, rain, thunder and lightning in the long years.
There are nine tree stumps next to the stone table, and although they are said to be tree sacres, the rings on them have increased so far, and so far, there have been three circles, and the outline of the fourth circle is faintly visible.
At this moment, there are nine people sitting or standing at the stone table, these nine people are men and women, old and young, their costumes are gorgeous and rough, but the same thing is that their eyes can't hide the vicissitudes and sorrow.
A woman picked up the locust leaves from the stump, stroked the fourth ring of the annual ring that was about to appear, looked at the man who spoke before, and sighed: "Yes, one circle is a catastrophe, the fourth catastrophe is coming, and we will be reincarnated again." ”
A charming woman sat on a tree stump, holding her chin with her hands, and said in confusion: "It is said that we have transcended life and death, reincarnation, and destiny...... However, after each reincarnation, are we still us?"
No one answered, except for nine sighs.
Among the nine, the eldest said, "Xiuzhen...... What are we cultivating? Cultivating immortals...... Since we are already immortals, why can't we transcend everything?"
"Maybe there is no cultivation, but the path we take is to cultivate the truth. Someone said.
"Perhaps......," said the man who spoke first, "perhaps, we are on the wrong path!"
As soon as these words came out, the other eight people sat up from the stump in shock.
"You...... Why do you say that?" said the old man, not really trembling by speaking, but shocked by what the man said.
"I don't know, it's just ......"
"Just what?"
"If I reincarnate again, I won't cultivate the truth anymore!"
The other eight people all looked at him in surprise, but he said, "If I am reincarnated, I will not become an immortal!"
The eldest man sighed, "Say what you say...... Are you serious?"
The man swept away the confusion, looked at the other eight people, looked at the fourth circle where the stump was about to appear, looked at the coming fourth tribulation, and shouted: "If I reincarnate, I will no longer cultivate the truth! If I reincarnate, I will not become an immortal!"
The man's smile was filled with endless confusion, but his eyes revealed a spark of hope. He pointed to the sky, and suddenly that vibrant picture disappeared, and when he looked up again, where was the sky, it was clear that it was still an endless dark nothingness!
This so-called heaven is actually just a magic conjure!
Cold and darkness coexist, only this continent rises and falls silently, like a giant beast sleeping, the nine people at the stone table have disappeared, only a vow, which is remembered in the fourth ring of the stump.
If I am reincarnated, I will no longer cultivate the truth!
If I reincarnate, I will not become an immortal!
The stars are born, the stars are disillusioned, but the vast darkness has not changed from eternity to the end of the world.
The early bird is eaten by the worm, and the early worm is eaten by the bird.
A small emerald bird was jumping from branch to branch, as if it had spotted some delicious bug. At that moment, a wooden feathered arrow swooped in...... The emerald bird looked sarcastic.
In the grass, a young man of about fifteen years old, dressed as a hunter, rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he had seen before. Birds, he has caught a lot, even those spiritual animals have also caught, but he has never shown a mocking look like this emerald bird...... Didn't it know that when the arrow fell, it would fall and die?
The thought in my mind was just fleeting, and just as the wooden arrow was about to shoot at the bird's body, a blue light curtain suddenly lit up, and the wooden arrow seemed to have been shot into the water.
The boy was frightened, but he hunted too much, angered the gods, and provoked the bird fairy. Before he could think about it, his body suddenly rose into the air and fell heavily to the ground.
A crisp but angry voice came from his head: "What an uninformed hunter, he can't even recognize the spirit bird, if he is killed by your arrow, the sky and the earth are big, and there is no place for you in the entire cultivation world!"
The young man jumped up when he heard the voice, and looked at the woman who was speaking, and this time he felt dizzy, like a ship adrift in the ocean, and could no longer distinguish between east and west.
The woman looked at the young man's demented expression, frowned, and said angrily: "I thought you were just an ignorant boy and didn't want to worry about you, but I didn't expect you to be so frivolous...... When are you going to see it?"
After the woman finished speaking, with a wave of her hand, the young man suddenly spun around again and crashed into a tree.
The boy was awakened by the severe pain and came back to his senses, but when he saw the woman's face, he felt that he had difficulty breathing. But when he noticed that the woman was about to wave her hand again, she hurriedly lowered her head and whispered: "This sister, I'm really sorry, I grew up in the mountains since I was a child, and I have never seen a woman as beautiful as my sister, so I lost my mind for a while, I hope my sister won't blame." “
The woman sneered, "What a cunning boy, how can you learn to be flamboyant since you grew up in the mountains?"
The boy was so stupid that he forgot to answer for a while, and when he came back to his senses, the world was spinning again.
The young man was startled, hurriedly got up, and looked at the woman with a fanatical look in his eyes: "Immortal!
After speaking, the young man muttered to himself: "It must be a fairy, only a fairy is so beautiful." ”
The woman was already at the sixth level of qi refining, so she naturally heard the young man's muttering clearly, and her face was a red glow. Suddenly, the woman screamed out, and it turned out that the young man actually hugged her feet, and she was about to be furious, but she heard the young man say, "Sister fairy, is it good for you to take me as an apprentice?" ”
When the woman heard that someone actually wanted to be her apprentice, she immediately felt funny, she was only at the sixth level of Qi refining, and she didn't even enter the threshold of cultivation.
Her curiosity suddenly rose and she asked, "Why do you want to cultivate the truth?"
The young man was stunned, scratched his head and asked, "What is Xiuzhen?"
The woman was also stunned, and said in a hurry: "Oops, this stumps me, it's ridiculous that I'm already a cultivator but I don't know what a cultivator is...... Cultivating the truth, cultivating the truth, what exactly is the cultivation of the truth?"
The young man saw that the woman couldn't answer, so he whispered a fairy sister.
In the flash of light, the woman suddenly had a burst of inspiration, and blurted out: "Cultivating truth is cultivating immortals!"
The young man asked again, "What is Immortal Cultivation?"
The woman immediately replied: "To cultivate immortals is to seek a transcendence from everything, immortality, immortality, and reincarnation!"
The boy asked again, "Can you keep others from dying?"
The woman said, "Yes." ”
The young man was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Sister fairy, I am willing to cultivate the truth!"
The woman asked, "Are you afraid of death?" with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
The boy shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid that my grandfather will die." I have been an orphan since I was a child, it was my grandfather who picked me up, he named me and taught me a lot of things, and I want to repay him for being an old man. ”
The woman seemed to be moved by the young man, and said, "I see that you have wonderful bones and bright eyes, if you want to cultivate the truth, you will definitely have a bright future." ”
When the young man heard this, he immediately wanted to kowtow, but the woman helped him up and said, "I can't be your master, but I can take you to our Baiyun Sect, and there are still a few days when my sect recruits disciples, I can take you to try, if you can succeed, you will be my junior brother!"
The young man asked, "Is the White Cloud Sect built in the sky?"
"Pretty much...... The White Cloud Sect is far from here, and we must set off immediately. After speaking, the woman sighed, "If I can build a foundation, I will have enough spiritual power to fly with your sword." ”
As soon as the young man heard that he was going to leave immediately, he said with a bitter face: "Then what about my grandfather?"
The woman smiled and said, "When you become a cultivator, you can come back often to see it, I have a Qingshen Pill here, you can take it to your grandfather." ”
"Okay, Sister Fairy, wait a minute, I'll go and say goodbye to grandpa. ”
With that, the boy ran away like a gust of wind.
The woman smiled at the young man's back, and the emerald birds chirped non-stop.
The woman's face changed drastically, and she exclaimed, "I patronized and talked to this young man, but I actually forgot to take the treasure...... I don't know what spirit the psychic bird has found this time. ”
After saying that, the woman came to the tree with a vertical leap.
The woman's consciousness was released, and she immediately found a dark stone in a tree hollow, an ordinary stone that could no longer be ordinary.
The woman held the stone, and wondered, this stone is so ordinary, how can it be a spiritual object? She tried to input spiritual power, her divine sense penetrated, and even dripped blood to recognize the Lord, but the black stone never responded. The woman looked at the psychic bird suspiciously, and the psychic bird seemed to feel the woman's suspicion, flapping its wings and flapping the woman's cheek.
The woman said angrily: "You are a stingy ghost, I didn't say I doubted you, what are you angry about?"
The sunset is molten gold, and the purple glow is all over the sky.
The sun was setting and the sky was full of purple clouds, and an old man in his sixties picked up a month-old baby on a forest path.
The old man had no surname or name, and no children and grandchildren, so he adopted this abandoned baby and named it Luotian, because he was on the forest path, so his surname was Lin.
Lin Luotian pushed open the door, and his grandfather was already eating the breakfast he had made. Until the age of thirteen, his grandfather had been raising him, and at the age of fourteen, he learned to hunt, and every morning when he hunted, he would prepare breakfast first.
When the old man heard the sound of the door creaking open, he looked at Luotian in surprise, and said, "Tian'er, why did you come back so early today? ”
Lin Luotian was silent, hesitated for a long time, and his face was flushed. The old man was not in a hurry, he ate a mouthful of porridge and a mouthful of pickles, until the rice had bottomed out, and then he heard the four words intermittently.
"I want to fix it!"
The old man looked at Lin Luotian and asked, "Xiuzhen, what is Xiuzhen?"
Lin Luotian's eyes widened: "I don't know, Sister Fairy said that cultivating truth is cultivating immortals." ”
"Sister Fairy?"
"Well, I almost shot her bird when I met her in the woods. ”
The old man asked again, "Isn't that fairy sister very beautiful?" ”
Lin Luotian nodded.
The old man said with relief: "You have been hunting for a long time, and you must have been contaminated with enchanting things...... You must know that the illusion is outside the heart. ”
Lin Luotian was just about to nod conditionally, and suddenly realized that what his grandfather said was strange, could he be saying that the fairy sister was a monster illusion? Grandpa used to tell the story of the fox fairy, could it be that grandpa suspected that the fairy sister was a fox fairy?
shook his head at the moment and said, "Grandpa, Sister Fairy is not a monster, she is an immortal!"
The old man was furious and said, "Nonsense, although you grew up in the mountains, I have also taught you many sage books, how can you say that there are immortals in this world?"
Lin Luotian felt aggrieved and justified: "Since there are no immortals, how can there be demons and monsters?"
This time it was the old man's turn to be speechless.
Lin Luotian said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, grandpa, I shouldn't have contradicted you." ”
The old man waved his hand and sighed: "Alas, people are old, and they think that when I was young, I was shocked to retreat from the army of 100,000 people...... You just said that cultivating truth is cultivating immortals, so what is cultivating immortals?"
Lin Luotian replied: "Cultivating immortals is to transcend everything, not to be born or die, and not to enter reincarnation." ”
The old man thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of scene is it?"
Lin Luotian didn't know how to answer, and the old man continued to ask: "If you don't die, what's the point of living like this?"
Lin Luotian muttered to himself: "Xiuzhen...... What is the real cultivation of immortals...... What's the use of cultivating to immortality?"
Through the doorway, the orange sun is drifting out of the sky little by little, and the sky is suddenly filled with colorful clouds, hazy and changing, and it is beautiful.
The old man suddenly said, "My time is short, you should go out and see the world, you can go." ”
Lin Luotian asked puzzledly, "Where are you going?"
The old man said, "Don't you want to cultivate the truth? ”
"However, I don't know why I want to cultivate the truth. ”
"It's because you don't know why you want to cultivate the truth, that's why you want to cultivate the truth. The old man continued, "What is Xiuzhen... What is Cultivating Immortals... What's the use of immortality...... Since you don't know any of this, you should cultivate the truth, cultivate the truth, and cultivate the truth, presumably it is to seek a truth, cultivate a clear and clear one. If you cultivate the truth, you will naturally understand, and you may not understand it now, but there will always be a day when you will understand. ”
When Lin Luotian returned, he saw the fairy sister playing with a dark stone. He stepped forward and asked, "Sister Fairy, what kind of stone is this?"
The woman gave him a blank look and said, "This is not a stone, this is a treasure." ”
Lin Luotian asked, "What baby?"
"I don't know. ”
Lin Luotian was puzzled: "I don't know, how do you know that it's a baby?"
The woman said angrily: "Just because I don't know, I know it's a baby." ”
Lin Luotian suddenly smiled and said: "Sister Fairy, your tongue twister is better than my grandfather, with you by my side, I feel that my grandfather is by my side." ”
The woman's face turned blue, and she said, "What kind of metaphor are you?" With no hands, Lin Luotian couldn't find the southeast and northwest again.
More than an hour later, Lin Luotian and Fairy Zizhen had come to the town. Lin Luotian used to go to the town with his grandfather to exchange some goods, but since he hunted alone, he went to the town alone.
The town is not small, but it is not big, but it is very lively.
Lin Luotian pointed to a vendor selling sugar gourds and said, "Sister Fairy, have you ever eaten rock sugar gourds? ”
Zi Zhen glanced at it and said, "I used to eat it, but now I don't eat anymore." ”
Lin Luotian was puzzled: "Don't eat?
Zi Zhen said: "Only cultivators who have reached the foundation building period can not eat, but it is not accurate to say that they do not eat, and the foundation building monks are directly supplemented by aura." ”
"Then now my sister doesn't need to eat to satisfy her hunger, is it possible that Sister Fairy is already an immortal in the foundation building period?"
Zi Zhen said: "I don't, I'm just in the late stage of Qi refining, and the reason why I don't eat is because I have already learned the Bigu method." ”
"Ass?"
Zi Zhen immediately turned around, his face was already flushed, and he said coldly: "Don't talk from now on, otherwise I won't pay attention to you all the way." ”
In order to block Lin Luotian's mouth, Zi Zhen turned over and took out a Bigu Pill and gave it to him, Lin Luotian sighed amazingly, with such a pill, he could not eat it for more than a month.
