dejected fairy

Chapter 497: Mountains and rivers have thousands of connections, ancient carvings and rotten wood

With a wave of his hand, Chen Yuan gathered the object in his body, and then made a seal with his hand. Seventy-two Qi talismans appeared. After completely sealing off the declining spirit, he raised his head and looked into the distance of the Changhong Road.

Beside him, Shi Zhaoyou clasped his hands together, lowered his head and said, "Since Master Xuan invites you, fellow Taoist disciples should go as soon as possible."

Lady Xuantian reminded and added: "Compared to us, that Xuanzun has a more serious temperament. Changing the assessment method on the spot like this may not happen with him. In addition, he focuses on Things in the starry sky often do not depend on human relationships, but on general trends. You have captured the realm of the void, shattered its soul, and involved the great realm of the void."

"What is the origin of this Xuanzun?"

Chen Yuan had not explored the identities of the monk and the veiled woman before, but judging from the identity and background of the old Taoist priest and scholar, they should both be false monks who had fallen in the past. In terms of personality, cultivation, and combat power, they were even Based on tranquility. Because of this, they were not polite at all when facing a group of self-sealed quiet immortals and demons. Even if they didn't mean it, they were actually condescending.

"But this Xuanzun, judging from the words of several people, his status is extraordinary. They even use the honorific title..."

Thinking like this, Chen Yuan's eyes fell on the old Taoist priest, because he noticed that when the Xuan Zun was mentioned, even the seductive scholar could not help but show a bit of fear, but the old Taoist priest looked as usual, as if Just like an acquaintance.

"That Xuanzun is not an ordinary person."

After hesitating for a moment, Shi Zhaoyou still replied: "Compared with us, he has gone further on the road of seeking and reaching the sky... Alas!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh. .

"Forget it, he doesn't care much about it anymore, so why should we mention it again?" The old Taoist priest came up and shook his head. He then said to Chen Yuan, "Xuanzun, I have the kindness to inherit the old Taoism." However, Xuanzun's temperament is really awkward, and he is a bit resigned to death. You should pay attention when you meet him. Fortunately, although he has a poisonous mouth, he still has a bad temper. My heart is soft, don’t worry about him wanting revenge.”

As he spoke, the old Taoist priest's face showed a hint of reminiscence, and then he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

When Chen Yuan heard this, he had a guess in his heart, so he asked again: "Is this senior Xuanzun also a person from the past?"

When the old Taoist priest heard this, he sighed, nodded and warned Chen Yuan earnestly: "So, you must also be careful not to be noticed by others before you have grown up. As far as you and humanity are concerned, It’s all a huge loss!”

"Thanks for the advice." Chen Yuan didn't waste any time. He had just obtained the object and was worried about it. At this time, after asking for a general outline and understanding the general outline, he didn't waste any time. After bowing his hands to several people and saying goodbye, he flew into the clouds. And go.

As soon as Chen Yuan left, the remaining immortals and demons, such as Gu Ke, Xia Fei and others, all woke up from their dreams. Looking around, they felt a sense of despair. In their opinion, after the ferocious Lord's troubles just now, the tyrannical Xuanyuan You and others still have some hope of fighting the level test again, but they and others can't gain anything even in the front level, let alone the level after that.

"When we came here, not only did we get nothing, but we were frightened and frightened. We were shocked by what we had seen and felt, but it was all in vain. It was simply..."

Everyone murmured secretly.

At this time, Shi Zhaoyou suddenly said: "Everyone, if you are interested in participating in the assessment, the Sa family and Xuannv will set up a Buddhist kingdom for you here, and enter it for the test. If you are not interested in this, just come here Explore the realm of inheritance on your own. After all, this is a realm refined by saints using various methods. There is a universe within it. Opportunities are not limited to this Changhong Road. How much you can get depends on you. "

Upon hearing this, Gu Ke and others, who were originally disheartened, became energetic for a moment, and then looked around again, and then they suddenly came to their senses!
"Yes, although it is a way of inheritance, it is actually a realm! It is a vast territory with snow-capped mountains, deserts, rivers, mountains, grasslands, ice fields, and oceans. How can there be no other layout?"

"This is the truth. Regardless of the chance of the cave, or the inheritance methods of several heroic spirits, there are only a few who can achieve the qualifications. Of course, we are not as good as Chen Jiejie and you, who have many famous inheritances, but we can still be regarded as How can a top-notch person in the human world not gain anything? It turns out that he is hidden in this realm!"

"Tai Xuan's handwriting is naturally unpredictable!"

With everyone thinking this way, most of them stopped insisting and immediately used their own methods to disperse.

Even among the many self-proclaimed quiets, there are people who show hesitation, including the mortal demon queen. She originally skipped the first level, thinking of being one step ahead, but ended up trapped in the soul monument. , almost went crazy!
I never thought that as soon as the Chen Yuan Realm Master arrived, he would immediately blow up the Soul Monument after enlightenment! Afterwards, he even suppressed the incoming Taikoo man forcefully. He looked like a dangerous person at first sight!

The female demon asked herself that although she had some foundations, she was far behind compared to such peerless fierce men. If only such fierce men could carry the inheritance of heroic spirits this time, then perhaps she should not continue to waste time here.

Not to mention that these people were weighing the pros and cons in their minds, but on the other side, Chen Yuan was flying through the clouds and mist at an extremely fast speed, and soon he came to the edge of a lake and pressed down on the clouds.

This lake is huge, covering a vast area and stretching for thousands of miles. The lake is windless and waveless, calm and transparent. The light shining on the water is like falling on a mirror, glowing with bursts of brilliance.

Even though he didn't deliberately release his spiritual thoughts to explore, he still felt an unfathomable feeling from the lake. There seemed to be something unspeakable hidden in the deep water.

On the edge of the lake, a young man in white clothes was sitting casually, leaning against a tree, with a fishing rod in front of him and a wooden barrel beside him, with his chest and abdomen exposed, his expression unrestrained and casual.

He felt Chen Yuan's arrival, so he stretched out his hand to pull up the fishing rod, flicked it, and the fishing rod disappeared. Then he grabbed a handful of soil on the ground and stuffed it into his sleeve, then stood up and looked over.

"Dongxuanzi Chen Yuan, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

His tone was natural, as if he were chatting with an old friend.

Chen Yuan walked up to him and subconsciously took a look at the wooden barrel. When he saw that the water in it was clear and there was nothing in it, he knew it in his heart. of that object. This is a palm-sized wooden figure. It seems to have been sharpened with a knife and a cone. There are carving marks on it. Each one contains some kind of sword intention, sword essence, and spear feeling. It is as if it had been wandering into the ordinary world. , even if a successful monk obtains the golden elixir, as long as he devotes himself to understanding it, he may understand some kind of Tao-protecting tactic or even the incomplete true solution to life!

Of course, there is also a high probability that it will be corrupted by other people's thoughts of humanity and become possessed.

However, at Chen Yuan's level of cultivation, what he needs is naturally not the magic formula and sword intent contained in this wooden figure, but... the extremely subtle rune patterns engraved on it!

Each rune on it is as small as a needle tip. If you don't look carefully, you will only think it is a tiny black dot. But with Chen Yuan's eyesight, he can clearly distinguish that it is actually countless tiny black dots. Runes are spread out densely on the wooden figure!

The runes themselves do not seem to contain any power, they are just like decorations, but Chen Yuan does not think so, because the runes on them are very similar to the glowing runes that appear on the surface of his body when he uses his true form of heaven. !
Although there are differences in specific patterns and textures, the overall structure is exactly the same!
Because of this, he stopped at the critical moment and wanted to come over and find out.

"You seem to be very surprised." The young man Xuanzun looked at Chen Yuan and shook his head: "It would be better to say that your appearance before was what surprised me!"

When Chen Yuan heard this, he didn't go around in circles. He took the wooden figure and asked, "What is the origin of this thing? What does Mr. Xuanzun know?"

"Since I have revealed this thing, I want to tell you what I know." The young man Xuanzun said, and with a wave of his hand, a stone table and stone chair appeared beside the tree. He took advantage of the situation and sat down, pointing to the opposite side, "Sit down ”

Chen Yuan was naturally not polite and sat down immediately.

Xuanzun raised his hand, his broad sleeves brushed across the table, and there were drinks and fruits on the table. The aroma in the wine bottle was fragrant. After just one sniff, Chen Yuan noticed that his mind was clear and his thoughts were much faster. , I could still faintly hear words coming from the void, I knew it was not an ordinary person, I couldn't help but be more curious about the identity of Xuan Zun who could easily take out such a thing.

Xuan Zun did not keep him waiting for long. After pouring himself wine, he pointed at the wooden figure and said: "This thing is called the Ji Shen Doll. It has a long history. According to my elders, it was inherited from ancient times. I don't know if it came from Whose hands."

"Ancient?" Chen Yuan was about to ask more questions, but was stopped by the other party waving his hand.

"I know what you want to ask, but don't be impatient, listen to me first." The young man Xuanzun said, and after drinking a glass of wine, he said: "Don't look at this object. It seems to have many knife marks on it, but it is actually very hard. , after my body was broken, I put my remaining soul in this thing, and I stayed in this world for more than five thousand years!"

Chen Yuan was surprised when he heard this: "Huh? Your Excellency, have you ever placed your soul on it?"

"Naturally, the people chosen by Taixuan Sage to inherit the inheritance are all deceased people who have mastered the method of false heaven before their death, or are about to understand a certain starry sky avenue. Naturally, I will not be an exception." Young Master Xuan said At this point, he shook his head and said, "Back then, after I used an alternative method to complete the realm of Dongxu, I had practiced for thousands of years and already wanted to know the Starry Sky Avenue and become the body of Taixuan Saint. However, I was plotted against others. When I was promoted through the tribulation, How can you be willing to die? So after the saint's body disintegrated, he placed his remaining soul on this wooden man and escaped from the Jie Clan's pursuit by stealing the sky for the sun, thinking that one day he could make a comeback..."

"..."

For some reason, when Chen Yuan heard this, he felt a particularly strong sense of immediacy, but he resisted the urge to interrupt and still listened.

The Xuanzun continued: "...I can't practice cultivation in this thing, so I thought of cultivating a false heavenly monk and let him perform the art of turning against heaven, so that he can rebuild his body and practice practice again. After all, My original status was very high, but my foundation was stained by the Tribulation Clan, and I was cursed by time. Even the False Heaven's method, which can't touch and restrain the way of heaven, can't reshape my body. It's a pity, even though I have cultivated it successively. The three False Heaven cultivators ultimately underestimated the Jie Clan's methods, and eventually their souls weakened and died. "

What he said was simple, but Chen Yuan heard the danger, twists and turns, and a bit outrageous. According to what the other party said, this Xuanzun's soul stayed in a wooden man for a long time, and he was carried by others as an old man. He trained several false monks, among whom Bi Shou might be one of them. Old Taoist priest, it seems that this person is really very senior.

More importantly, according to the other party's statement, this Xuanzun was clearly plotted against him when he was about to attain Taixuan, and he died as a result! If everything goes well, he may be one of the Taixuan Saints today. It is no wonder that the other people have such an attitude towards him.

But after talking for a long time...

"What is the origin of this wooden man? Especially the many runes on it."

The young Xuanzun did not beat around the bush this time and said directly: "I didn't care when I was alive, and there was no detailed explanation among the masters. I only said that this thing can protect the soul and can entrust the soul. I am devoted to cultivation and have no intention of exploring it. After the Tao body collapsed and the soul resided in it, in order to eliminate hidden dangers, many people were encouraged to explore it, and there was indeed some gain. "

After a pause, he looked at Chen Yuan: "This object should have been formed at the very beginning of the Humane Era, but its prototype was not in the Humane Era! It was at the beginning of the Humane Era, and the humane sages of our generation followed the carvings of an ancient corpse. It’s done!”

"Ancient corpse!?" Chen Yuan was shocked when he heard this, "I wonder what kind of ancient corpse it is?"

Then he thought about himself. After all, in essence, he is still a mysterious corpse? Could it be that the changes in the true body of Heavenly Dao are actually related to the death energy of the corpse?
As soon as he thought about it, he didn't think about it. Since the person involved was there, of course he asked directly.

"That ancient corpse involves many secrets of the starry sky. Even we cannot mention it out of thin air. Otherwise, even with the protection of Taixuan, time will be shattered and time will return to ruins, making it difficult to maintain this body." Young Master Xuan said, seeing Chen Yuan's expression changed, but he suddenly smiled: "However, I want to be related to your inheritance and that ancient corpse. As long as you can pass my test, there will be cause and effect, and you will naturally have a connection with that ancient corpse. If you can know where the ancient corpse is, you can also get a magic trick to go and investigate."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice: "The ancient corpse also has the method of following the sky, and it is even the source of practice of my sect. If you can understand it, you can still do it even without the blessing of Dongxu Realm. Not weaker than Tai Xuan!"

Seeing Chen Yuan's expression of contemplation, he asked, "How about it? Do you want to think about it?"

Chen Yuan raised his head and asked directly: "What is the content of your test?"
