Chapter 298 The setting sun on the long river kills Taixu
Being familiar with the road, Xiao Jie sped towards the Monkey Valley and arrived at the entrance of the Monkey Valley in less than half an hour.
Looking at the familiar scenery around him, Xiao Jie took a deep breath, jumped off his horse, and walked toward the valley.
Xiao Jie did not use the Magic Spirit Orb to transform. When he left the Monkey Valley with the White Ape, he had already met the monkeys. Because of the White Ape's favorability, the monkeys here have now become friendly. unit.
Walking into the valley, everything around is still the same. You can still see many stone-throwing apes jumping around in the trees.
Xiao Jie walked all the way in and suddenly heard a greeting. When he turned around, he saw a little monkey blinking and looking at him curiously.
This little monkey Xiao Jie still has some memories. When he first entered the Monkey Valley, he was the one who led the way.
"Little monkey, do you still remember me?"
"Are you - a big hairless monkey?"
"Haha, my memory is pretty good. I'm here to see your king. Is your king here?"
"He is here in the valley. Go and see him quickly. The king doesn't look good these days. He looks very tired."
Are you tired... Xiao Jie knew clearly in his heart that this little monkey probably didn't understand what old age and death were.
"Take me there quickly."
"Follow me, this way." The little monkey ran and jumped to lead the way. Xiao Jie followed the little monkey and walked towards the valley, but the direction he went was not the stone platform where the white ape used to sit and drink tea. , but walked towards the water pool deep in the valley.
From a distance, I saw a white-haired old man sitting cross-legged under a big willow tree next to the pond.
Huh? What is going on? White Ape has become an old man?
I took a look at the name, and it was right.
Yuan Bai (Sword Saint): A level 47 outsider with 3700 health points.
It’s been a long time since I last saw you, and I’ve actually been promoted to a level.
He opened his backpack and took a look at the phantom spirit beads inside. He thought to himself that the phantom spirit beads were returned to him. How did Yuan Bai maintain his human appearance?
He looked at Yuan Bai sitting cross-legged by the pool with his eyes closed and concentrating. He still looked like an ape. His heart moved and he suddenly understood. It seemed that the white ape finally recognized that he was a human being. Li Baoer, who originally gave him the Phantom Pearl, was also half-human and half-mermaid, but because he recognized himself as a human, he eventually became a human.
This white ape seems to be the same, this kind of thing is really a bit magical, and it is absolutely unimaginable in reality.
However, in this world, it seems that human cognition can change some things that originally exist, turning falsehood into reality, and turning fiction into reality.
Probably the so-called power of faith...
Xiao Jie silently walked behind Yuan Bai and looked at his old friend. He looked extremely old, with withered skin and thin body. His large forehead robe was blowing in the wind, and he looked like a hermit.
Although the white ape was originally white-haired, he was full of energy and vitality. Now he was sitting cross-legged under the tree, sitting lonely in the autumn wind, but he had a feeling of desolation that his days were numbered.
Even the waist became rickety.
Xiao Jie felt a burst of emotion in his heart. He never expected that even the White Ape Sword Sage, the spiritual ape in the mountains, could not escape the shackles of birth, old age, sickness and death.
Regarding this method of cultivating immortals and practicing Qi, it is obvious why those Qi practitioners are so obsessed with cultivating immortals and practicing Taoism.
Yes, how many people can die peacefully?
"You're here..." Yuan Bai said suddenly, without looking back, in a calm tone that was quite indifferent to the world.
"I'm here, Brother Ape, are you okay now..."
"Haha, it's great, it's great. During this time, I traveled around the world, met many people, experienced many things, and enjoyed many food, wine, beauties, and beautiful things that I had never thought of before.
Although it was only a few short months, it was much happier than my whole life. Even when I realized the peerless sword skills, I was not so happy.
Now I finally understand the pursuit in my heart and the person I am thinking of, so I think I have achieved what I wanted.
Alas, life is short. I have wasted too many years in the river of forgetfulness. Now I understand that life has come to an end. This is my only regret.
But that's all, this life has been lived in vain, it is better than wasting time in the mountains and fields. I have experienced the prosperous stories of this world. ”
There was both relief and reluctance in the voice, and at the same time there was some aftertaste and nostalgia.
Xiao Jie was filled with emotion and didn't know how to comfort him for a moment.
This kind of emotion is also very unfamiliar to him. After all, he is only a young man under thirty, and all his friends are of this age. This kind of scene of saying goodbye to a dying friend really makes him feel a little difficult. The sadness of words.
He couldn't help but click on his backpack again, and an elixir was placed next to the Phantom Pearl.
【Life-prolonging elixir (elixir)
Use: Extend the life of an intelligent being by ten years.
Item introduction: The elixir refined by the immortals of Guyun Prefecture can extend the life of mortals. In ancient times, it was a treasure given to mortal heroes by Guyun Prefecture. With the collapse of Guyun Prefecture, the immortals retreated into hiding. From then on, such elixirs were rarely found. and the world. 】
Looking at the elixir in the bag, Xiao Jie hesitated for a moment.
Two voices emerged in my heart at the same time.
A voice said: "Your brother is almost dead and you haven't helped him yet. As long as you take this elixir, you can live for another thirty years."
Another voice said: "This is an elixir. Although it is difficult to sell, as long as it can be sold, it is not a problem to sell it for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
Give it to an NPC? You are so stupid. ”
The two voices kept fighting, and Xiao Jie couldn't make a decision for a while.
Reason told him that such a treasure cannot be wasted on an NPC. He has played so many games with touching plots in the past. In order to equip the treasures and experience different plots, even if it is a close friend or confidante in the plot, he should kill him. , cut it off if it needs to be cut, they are just virtual programs.
There are so many bad things that make spring sad and autumn sad.
But at this moment, Xiao Jie looked at the old Yuan Bai, knowing in his heart that the other party was just an NPC, but he still couldn't help but want to save him.
But in the end, reason prevailed.
It's just an NPC, it's all a program, just a program...
If this elixir is sold, how much equipment and treasures can it buy...
But Yuan Bai didn't know these drastic changes in his heart, and sighed: "I came to you because I want to see you one last time. Although my life is short, I have met many people, many monkeys." , but if you are worthy of the word confidant, you are the only one.
It would be no regret to see you before I die. ”
Xiao Jie said solemnly: "How do you know that you are going to die? Maybe you can live for a few more years?"
"Hi, although I am now a human being, I still retain some of the monkey's sensory abilities. I can already feel the subtle changes between life and death. In three to five days at most, my life will come to an end."
He stretched out his hand, looked at the old palm and sighed with emotion, and suddenly read a poem in his mouth: "The autumn wind is bleak and the winter cold is approaching, the frost and white hair on the temples turn into smoke and dust - I learned poetry from a scholar in Longhua Prefecture. In recent days, I was quite touched, so I made a few random songs. What do you think?”
Xiao Jie felt uneasy and said: "I wrote it out of feeling, but it is a good poem."
Yuan Bai continued: "I have learned a lot about this article, and I have not fallen behind in martial arts. Speaking of which, maybe I am about to die, but I have some epiphanies about the sword skills I learned in Wangliuchuan. The so-called relationship between life and death." There is great terror in time, and there is nothingness at the end of time. I didn't think so in the past, but now I finally understand.
I have figured out another move in addition to the Nine Styles of Disillusionment. You should keep an eye on it. If you can gain some insights and improve your sword skills, it will be my last gift to you. ”
As he spoke, he climbed up from the stone tremblingly, and casually held the Yanling knife beside him in his hand.
"This knife was the one you gave me as a gift. Keep an eye on it -" Yuan Bai suddenly raised the long knife as if he was in the abyss.
At that moment, Xiao Jie seemed to see the scene of Wangliuchuan, the long river of time reappearing out of thin air.
It seemed like a long time passed, and it seemed like it was just a moment, when Yuan Bai suddenly swung out his sword.
Li·Second Meaning——The setting sun on the long river cuts off Taixu.
The sword was swung very casually, as if it was just a random wave, but it seemed that all the strength of the sword was used. When the sword fell, the long river of time disappeared in an instant, and the surroundings suddenly became extremely silent.
Xiao Jie suddenly noticed with horror that the big willow tree instantly lost its color.
It turned into a tone like a black and white silhouette, extremely lonely and desolate, frozen under the autumn sun.
This picture only existed for a moment. The next second, the picture returned to normal, but the big tree was no longer the original big tree. The originally thick trunk became dry, and the original green leaves turned yellow. The leaves fell one after another, turning from green to yellow, from yellow to black, turning into smoke and dust, dissipating into the air.
In the blink of an eye, the big leafy willow tree turned into a bare dead tree. Then the dead tree became rotten and collapsed, as if it had been half weathered by endless years. It collapsed silently, and then turned into a tree. Piles of smoke.
This - oh my god, what kind of skill is this?
Xiao Jie was stunned when he saw it. In this game, trees also have certain degrees of durability. The durability of such a big willow tree must be in the thousands, but it was actually destroyed in seconds by a knife.
[System prompt: Sword Saint Yuan Bai teaches you the secret meaning ‘The sun sets over the long river and kills Taixu’. Your understanding is insufficient and your learning failed. 】
"How's it going? Do you understand?" Yuan Bai asked.
Xiao Jie was helpless, "Sorry, brother, I'm stupid and can't understand."
"Haha, it's not surprising. You don't have the same state of mind as me, and you have never eaten fairy fruit. After all, your understanding is a bit worse. Fortunately, I thought of this in advance, and I have written down the experience of this trick in a silk book. , you can keep it and comprehend it slowly in the future. If you have enough comprehension that day, you may be able to comprehend something.”
As he said this, he casually threw a silk scroll to Xiao Jie.
[System prompt: Sword Saint Yuan Bai presents you with the item [Sunset Collection].
【The Sunset Collection (The Sword Saint’s Legacy Notes)
Use: Perform a reading comprehension, it is possible to learn some special abilities (number of uses 3/3).
Requirements for use: 10 levels of Disillusionment Sword Technique and 30 levels of Comprehension.
Item introduction: A collection of poems left by the Sword Saint Yuan Bai. The poems in it record his perception of the impermanence of life and his fear of the passage of time. If you read it carefully, you may be able to learn something from it. 】
Xiao Jie felt relieved. Fortunately, if he had really missed this super powerful secret just now, he would have cried to death.
Now there are at least three more chances.
"Thank you, Brother Yuan." He was a little touched.
"Hahaha, you and I are brothers, what's the point of thanking each other? If you want to thank me, then you and I will get drunk today so that we can send me on my way."
Looking at Yuan Bai who looked free and easy, Xiao Jie finally made up his mind.
This brother must be saved.
It's not because of the skill book - anyway, I already have the stuff, so even if I don't give it to me, it won't affect my understanding.
Mainly because Yuan Bai called him brother, which really made him unbearable.
Being able to think about leaving something for yourself before death is definitely a real brother. Maybe the characters are fictional, but the feelings are definitely real.
If I keep worrying about things, others won't say anything about me, but I'm afraid I won't be able to pass my own level.
"You can avoid getting drunk. The days are long and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
"Oh, you still want to comfort me, why bother..."
Xiao Jie laughed: "Brother Yuan, have you misunderstood me? Am I the kind of person who talks in vain? Of course I have my reasons for saying that.
This time I went to Canglin Prefecture, killed many monsters, met many strange people, and even met an immortal by chance, and got an elixir. I originally planned to find someone to sell this elixir, but now that you can use it I'll give it to you to eat. ”
Saying that, right-click on the longevity pill and select Gift.
Yuan Bai looked surprised, "Is this?"
"The longevity pill can add ten years to your life after you take it. Although it can't make you immortal, it can still make you live ten more years. Brother Yuan, don't you think ten years is too short?"
Yuan Bai was inexplicably surprised, and his voice became trembling, "Ten years... ten years... not too short, not too short. I haven't lived for ten years since I was born. If I can live for another ten years, this life will be a real one." No regrets. Brother, do you really want to give this pill to me?”
"There is no need to talk more when we are brothers."
After hearing this, Yuan Bai stopped talking nonsense and swallowed the elixir in one gulp.
This elixir is indeed magical.
In an instant, his whole body became more upright, his back was no longer rickety, his complexion became rosy, and even his withered skin was rejuvenated.
"What an elixir, what a treasure, brother, you are really my brother. Hahahaha!"
Yuan Bai laughed loudly and was ecstatic. He still had a hint of hermit style. He was clearly still the same naughty monkey who was just jumping up and down on a tree.
Xiao Jie felt happy and heartbroken at the same time. When he thought about the little goal that left him, he felt an unspeakable regret.
Alas, forget it, when I become an immortal in the future, all money and money will not matter.
Besides, it's not easy to get rid of that crappy thing, and it can easily cause trouble. Now it can be considered that it has been put to its best use.
Xiao Jie could only comfort himself in this way.
"Since Brother Yuan is fine, I will take my leave."
"Why are you so anxious? It's been a long time since we last met, and we're encountering such a happy event. Why don't you stay here with me and have a good time for a few days."
Xiao Jie said in his heart that you are not a beauty, you are just a piece of cake.
"Forget it, I have more important things to do."
"That's right. There's nothing good to eat or drink in this damn place. It's just some wild fruit sour wine. Let's go. I'll go to Luoyang Town with you. We brothers will find the best restaurant and get drunk. One game.”
"Brother Yuan wants to come with me?"
"Why not? If you don't have my guidance, how can you practice that sword technique so easily? Now that I have nothing to do, I just want to give you some guidance. If you have any difficulties, I will try my best to help you."< br>
Xiao Jie's heart moved: "Brother Yuan said that, then I won't be polite to you. I really need your help with something. There is a very powerful opponent. Sooner or later, I will have to fight with him. When the time comes, brother I invite all the heroes, and you have to come and help me, brother.”
"Hahaha, that's natural. Whoever dares to mess with my brother, I am enough."
"I'm afraid that's not enough. That person is an old friend of the immortal in Wangliu River. They are both ancient cultivators. Although they have not become immortals, they still have the ability to become a saint."
Yuan Bai was surprised, "Ah, there is such a master? Then I am really not enough." As soon as he heard that it was related to the immortal, Yuan Bai immediately returned to normal.
"But don't be afraid. As long as he is not an immortal, I will make him suffer some hardships with my sword skills. With my brother here, I will not let him hurt you, brother."
