"Yes, Master."
Listen to the picture that Chen Yulou painted for it.
Bai Ze only felt that his emotions were agitated and it was difficult to explain clearly.
The moment the spiritual seed merged into flesh and blood, there was an inexplicable rumble in the depths of his mind, and countless clear or blurry images emerged like a horse watching a lantern.
In the fleeting light.
It clearly saw elk as big as mountains.
Standing on the top of the mountain, walking on the top of the clouds.
That was a scene it had never imagined. After all, it had known since birth that deer were born in the swamp, ate in the wild, and slept in the forest. How could there be mountains and clouds?
But the master's last words woke him up.
Atavism.
Perhaps, the hidden picture of its bloodline is what the ancestors of the elk family looked like.
However, after thousands of years, it has already lost its innate ability.
Listening to the master's wishes, if he practices Shi Qi, he may be able to reach that step one day.
How could Bai Ze not be so excited?
"Have you been on the island all these years?"
After seeing it, it was able to speak in just a short time, which was even more amazing than Yuan Hong at Pingshan.
However, it is expected if you think about it.
Monsters are distinguished by their bloodline.
The dragon is the leader of the scale insects, and the feathered insects are respected by the phoenix.
Therefore, Luofu could easily suppress the six-winged centipede by just awakening a trace of his ancestral blood. Not only was it restrained, all things were interdependent, but more importantly, it was because of blood suppression.
The ancestor of the elk is Si unlike, an ancient mythical beast.
Even though it is not as good as dragon, phoenix and unicorn, it is only half a step away.
Far from being comparable to mandrills and apes.
Chen Yulou suppressed his emotions and asked softly.
"Yes, our branch has been on Junshan Island for almost a hundred years."
Bai Ze nodded.
After planting the spiritual seed, many vague memories became clear little by little.
Viewed from memory.
Hundreds of years ago, there were still many elk living in the Dongting Daze area. However, due to wars, hunting, and the receding of the lake, the environment for them to survive became increasingly poor.
With no choice, this group of them had no choice but to swim across the lake and migrate to Junshan Island.
I thought this place was an out-of-this-world cave.
It was indeed a peaceful life.
But as the world became chaotic, people came and went on the island, and groups of water bandits fought and fought, they could only hide in Tibet, but even so, many elk were still hunted.
Over the past ten years.
The originally small group suffered heavy losses, so much so that due to constant death from old age and hunting, it was the only one left in the entire group.
Listening to Bai Ze talk about the past word by word.
Chen Yulou finally understood.
Why does it appear on the isolated Junshan Island?
"Then you have been on the island for many years, have you ever met someone like me?"
"What?"
Bai Ze tilted his head.
There was a trace of confusion and confusion in his eyes.
Obviously someone didn't understand what someone like him meant by this.
"A person who practices."
Chen Yulou gently highlighted a few words.
Hearing this, Bai Ze suddenly realized.
"Returning to the master, I probably haven't seen him... However, according to ancient legends, my ancestors should have met him. They formed a hut on the island to practice cultivation."
Boom——
Hear this.
Chen Yulou's calm eyes finally showed a trace of excitement.
He knew that as the eleventh blessed place in the world, how could it be unknown?
"Where is the cave?"
The hint of wind in the calm voice instantly made his inner thoughts rise from the water.
However, after all, Bai Ze had just gained consciousness and did not notice the strangeness in his words.
Just thought about it.
Then he named several places in succession.
"Wanghu Pavilion, Monkey Cave, Feisheng Pavilion and Xianglu Mountain."
"Okay."
Write these points down silently.
But just as he nodded, Chen Yulou seemed to notice something, and the corners of his eyes suddenly raised.
"Xianglu Mountain?"
"Yes."
"Just under the cliff to the south."
Bai Ze looked angrily into the distance.
Following its guidance, Chen Yulou turned around and looked in the direction of Tongxin Lake.
really.
He said that the spiritual energy of this place in Xianglu Mountain is so strong that it is impossible for no one to care about it.
"Take me to see you?"
Thinking together, Chen Yulou suddenly couldn't hold himself back.
A secluded practice cave.
Especially in Borderlands.
Just like visiting a tomb and fighting upside down, you might even get something unexpected.
"Yes, Master."
Seeing him speak, Bai Ze didn't hesitate.
He immediately led the way and walked through the ancient trees in the dense forest. His figure was as light as a feather, and his speed was even more amazing than before.
It itself was obviously aware of the changes.
A pair of eyes full of surprise.
This is the benefit of psychic enlightenment.
And human beings are worthy of being the leader of all things. Even if they are born as spiritual creatures and live in the blessed land of cave heaven, they can only swallow a little bit of the spiritual energy of the heavens by instinct.
Still unable to transform into demons and gain enlightenment.
Living in the mountains in confusion.
There is almost no difference from the wild animals on the island.
Trusting your master is definitely the most correct thing you can do.
Jumping all the way out of the dense forest, Chen Yulou always followed behind him, his feet never touching the ground, like a land god. Bai Ze was even more amazed by this scene.
In my memory, those Taoist hermits practiced in the mountains.
No one can achieve such a step, no matter how powerful they are.
"Back."
"It's Bai Ze...and the shopkeeper."
By Tongxin Lake, the group of people were waiting anxiously.
Especially Uncle Nine, who walked around the lake several times and smoked almost a bag of tobacco while squatting by the lake.
I originally thought about holding it against the sky for half a quarter of an hour.
After all, the forest doesn't look very big.
But in the blink of an eye, more than half an hour had passed, and the young shopkeeper was still nowhere to be seen.
How could he not have random thoughts?
For a while he wondered if the white deer had lured him in deliberately, but it was actually a trap.
After a while, I wondered if there were water bandits hiding in the woods.
Although in the past six months, the entire Junshan Island has only been dug three feet into the ground, and even a bird cannot hide it, but I am not afraid of ten thousand, just in case it is not.
He even thought about miasma poison.
There are many venomous snakes on the island because of the deep forests and dense water vapor. If he is accidentally bitten, how can he, Lao Jiu, be able to bear such a big responsibility.
Just half an hour.
To him, it seemed like half a century was so far away.
He stayed where he was, anxious.
However, when the young shopkeeper left, he clearly told them not to follow.
Moreover, Kunlun, Guaizi and Miss Hong stopped him several times when he even mentioned searching for people in the mountains. In desperation, he could only put his thoughts away.
Good thing.
God bless.
The young shopkeeper is finally back.
If he didn't show up again, he was going to force his way in.
Even if he was scolded by the young shopkeeper afterwards, he would admit it.
He put away his copper pipe with a smile, tapped it on the bluestone beneath him a few times, and pinned it to his waist. Uncle Nine quickly came forward to greet him.
"Young shopkeeper, do you want to go back and have some food first?"
"No rush." Chen Yulou shook his head, "Bai Ze said that there is an ancient cave on the cliff ahead. Let's go and have a look."
"Predecessor Cave Mansion?"
Following the direction of his finger, Old Uncle Jiu couldn't help but be startled.
He asked himself that he knew Junshan Island well, how many rocks and trees in Xianglu Mountain were all treasures, but the cave the young shopkeeper mentioned...how come he had never seen it before? Haven't waited for a reply yet.
He suddenly thought of something again.
A pair of tiger eyes suddenly widened, looking at the white deer beside him in disbelief.
"It...what it said?"
This is a fucking joke, how can a deer talk all the way?
But unlike him, the people behind him understood instantly when they heard the words.
No wonder the trip took so long.
Too.
With the shopkeeper’s personality, how could he possibly miss a natural spiritual creature?
Especially Yuan Hong, a picture emerged subconsciously in his mind. It was the scene in Chenjiazhuang when the master refined the cross bones for himself and gained spiritual enlightenment.
I think the same is true for Bai Ze.
Thinking of this, it subconsciously looked at the white deer.
I just feel that it has undergone earth-shaking changes from when it was in the Dongting Temple.
It is majestic and full of energy.
Just standing there gives people a sense of heavenly beauty.
"You can tell by looking at the past."
Chen Yulou didn't explain much.
Old Uncle Jiu has been recuperating in the village these years and does not know that they have entered cultivation.
If he really saw Bai Lu open his mouth and pass by, he would probably be more frightened than surprised, and he wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.
To people in the market, everything in the world that does not conform to common sense is considered a monster.
A chicken does not carry six years and a dog does not carry eight years.
These are all rumors left by our ancestors.
A deer is a deer, even Potian is the same. If he really speaks, wouldn't he be a monster?
It was precisely because he knew this that Chen Yulou hinted at Bai Ze and just waved his hand with a smile.
The rest of the people have an indescribable tacit understanding.
No one said much.
"Can't delay eating.
Seeing that Old Uncle Jiu was still frowning, obviously in disbelief, Chen Yulou shook his head.
really.
Upon hearing this.
He was worried that the young shopkeeper would come all the way and not even be able to eat a hot meal, so he immediately agreed.
"Bai Ze, lead the way!"
A soft cry.
The white deer immediately jumped up, crossed the Tongxin Lake, and headed straight for the cliff in the distance.
Although he didn't believe that a deer could talk, Old Uncle Jiu couldn't help but marvel at how understanding she was.
It is said that cats, dogs and yellow-skinned foxes are spiritual beings.
I didn’t expect that a white deer could do this.
Compared to his pure surprise, the others were too surprised to hide their surprise.
Since Bai Lu has spoken, there must be nothing wrong.
The ancients practiced cave dwelling.
Maybe there are some secret magic left behind.
Following Bai Ze, everyone walked through the swamp and dense forest, and soon arrived at the foot of the cliff. The cliffs dozens of feet high were densely covered with hanging yellow vines.
There are also mosses and patches of ivy.
It was as if a curtain had been hung between the cliffs.
Old Uncle Jiu didn't dare to speak at this moment. He had been to this place before, but he had never searched so carefully. If there were any omissions, wouldn't he be able to explain it clearly?
Bai Ze didn't pay attention to what everyone behind him was thinking.
Looked around.
Finally, a direction was determined.
As soon as he jumped out, his figure actually passed through the vines and then disappeared.
“There really is a cave!”
Seeing this situation, everyone looked at each other, and then a flash of light burst out in their eyes.
The old foreigner is the fastest.
He immediately stepped forward and lifted up the dense vines.
The next moment.
A cave door appeared in everyone's sight.
About two meters.
There is also a rotten wooden door at the door.
It can be seen that it has been a few years.
The only remaining door wall was covered with moss and unknown fungi, and the ground was covered with weeds.
But no one cared about this.
He just raised his head and stared into the depths of the cave.
Through the skylight falling outside, you can vaguely see that the cave is quite large, and there seems to be tables, chairs, stone stoves and other utensils. In addition, the sound of gurgling water in the cave should be the earth's spiritual spring.
Different light celestial phenomenon, Liquan spiritual grass.
This is at least a first-class cave.
Seeing this, everyone was even more surprised.
The same was true for Chen Yulou. Even he didn't expect that the level of the cave hidden under the cliff in the dense forest was so high.
Taking a deep breath, without any hesitation, he stepped directly across the threshold and entered the cave.
The others did not hesitate and followed suit.
The old foreigner even took off his backpack, took out a lamp, and lit it with the fire sickle. The light dispersed the darkness, and the scene in the cave was completely revealed to everyone.
This cave is far larger than imagined.
From the outside to the inside, there are three caves, large and small, connected to each other.
It gets smaller as you go inward.
It's like a stone gourd lying on the cliff.
The Hulukou where they are currently located has stone tables and chairs, a fire pit and a stone stove, as well as stacked pots and porcelain bowls, and even a stone bed. It can be seen that it is a living place.
Go through the doorway.
There are dozens of holes, large and small, carved into the stone wall of the second level grotto.
There are ancient books, bamboo slips, strange stones and medicinal herbs among them.
Back against the stone wall.
There is also a wooden table.
Unfortunately, over the years, it has long since corroded and collapsed, leaving only two table corners, and items such as the brush washing and inkstone scattered on the floor.
And on the other side of the stone wall.
It is a stone gate.
The strange thing is that there are obvious marks of cutting and chiseling on the door opening. It must have been dug out by humans. Before entering, the sound of gurgling water can be heard in the ears.
The sound is ethereal.
It swayed along the cracks in the rocks and mountains, and it sounded indescribably ethereal and sweet.
Except.
There were strange lights flickering in the darkness deep inside the cave.
Seeing this situation, Chen Yulou immediately understood that it must have been the person who practiced here to get through. After all, he had lived here for a long time and could easily detect the sound of water deep in the stone wall.
The sweet spring at the foot of the mountain is a sign of a blessed land.
Even after hundreds of years, he could still imagine how pleasantly surprised the senior was when he penetrated the stone wall and saw the spiritual spring.
No hesitation.
Chen Yulou passed through the cave door and leaned forward to look.
But...
Just took a look.
His expression instantly froze.
"The shopkeeper?"
"Brother Chen, what is it?"
"Could it be that Mr. Chen..."
The people behind him were keenly aware of the strange look on his face and spoke one after another.
But Chen Yulou didn't say anything bluntly, he just stepped into it, making way for the people behind him, and when they followed in, he looked up by the light.
Only then did I see it.
It is also in a grotto the size of a study room.
Beside a clear spring.
There was a withered skeleton sitting there.
The colorful stone smoke and light shrouded his body, and the white bones were gleaming, reflecting a jade-like luster, flowing back and forth, making people look intimidating.
Even if a group of people is well-informed.
This is also the first time I have seen such a situation.
Only Chen Yulou came to his senses first, cupped his fists and bowed gently to the withered bones, and then sighed in a deep voice.
"The muscles and bones are like jade, generating their own brilliance."
"This senior has reached an extremely high level of cultivation."
"It's just a pity..."
"If you don't become an immortal, you will eventually be unable to withstand the erosion of time and can only be reduced to a skeleton." (End of this chapter)
