Xiao Xu gradually stabilized, shook his head, and said: "I don't want to practice at all, so how could I touch that technique? However, whenever I fall asleep, I always have strange dreams. I dream that I am a
Practitioners smoke clouds and mist every day and sit in meditation until they wake up the next day and feel energetic.
It was full of energy and seemed to have infinite power. At first I thought it was just an illusion. When I smashed a hundred kilogram boulder into pieces with one punch, I realized that it was true and I became a cultivator!" Xiao Xu revealed
Nostalgic expression.
"Then what happened next?" Youli touched Xiao Xu's head, with a look of care in her eyes, which was the glory of motherhood. "What happened next? I would have such a dream every night. I had never read that secret book before.
I opened it, and it was like a teacher who forced me to study. Every time after I fell asleep, he instilled a lot of knowledge about cultivation into me. I slowly accepted this method, and my body became more and more healthy.
The stronger I became, that’s when I realized that I might not be able to live such an ordinary and humble life in this life.”
He clenched his fists, as if telling his unwillingness to fate, and then said: "I have gained something, and that is self-confidence!" "One day, I stepped out of this broken door and saw the outside world.
, I met people of the same age as me and saw how extraordinary they were, which taught me a profound lesson. Only then did I realize that even if I could practice cultivation, I was still a frog in the well. I chose to go back to the ruined temple to continue.
practice
, I will never leave seclusion until I achieve my goal." "Finally one day, I succeeded, I achieved my own goal, and the first thing I did after I came out of seclusion was to give the person who defeated me a lesson.
, I let out a breath of bad breath in my heart, and I laughed, laughing very happily. It was the first time I tasted the feeling of pleasure and hatred, how subtle it was." "Tian
When Chi said this, he subconsciously waved his fist.
"But you still lost in the end." Lu Chen said.
"Yes, so what if I beat him? He is the son of a big shot. Although I defeated him, he still has a father who protects his shortcomings." A wry smile appeared on the young face.
"So the scars on your body were given by his father, who cut off all your martial arts meridians." Lu Chen said, he had already seen that Xiao Xu's scars were caused by someone picking off the meridians.
This method is extremely cruel to a young child. If Xiao Xu had not been determined to survive, he would have been disabled for life.
Xiao Xuxu had just started, and his martial arts meridians were the only way to start. After being forcibly cut off, he was already considered half a useless person. Living in Tianyuan Space, every day was like a year.
Xiao Xu laughed self-deprecatingly and nodded, but did not speak. He kept looking at his horrible wound.
"Do you hate him?" Lu Chen asked. "What if you hate me? Anyway, I am already a useless person. Even if I hate him, there is nothing he can do. If he doesn't kill me, he thinks he is showing kindness to me, haha!" Xiao Xu!
With a sneer, he said: "I no longer care about my own life. When he severed my hand tendons and hamstrings, I didn't say a word. I just said
I was thinking about why God gave me hope and then made me despair. Is my life so worthless and allowed to be manipulated in every way?" He knocked on his legs, changed his posture, and continued: "Why?
Others were bullied and helped, but even if I died and no one cared about me, and I refused to accept it, didn’t I have the right to live a normal life? Finally I figured it out, since God wants me to have a difficult life, then
I
It just doesn’t go as well as it should.”
"I worked hard to climb to the ruined temple and trained every day. Even though it was very hard, I persisted. It wasn't until the moment I stood up and walked again that I realized that I was going against my destiny!"
Lu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, every cultivator is trying to change his destiny against nature. Since you want to live a better life, you must pay a higher price than ordinary people."
"But my martial arts meridians were damaged and I will be unable to practice for the rest of my life. My secret books were also stolen. Isn't this fate?"
"Haha, everything may turn around, right?" Chase Lu said with a mysterious smile.
"What's the meaning?"
"What if I can repair your martial arts meridians?" Lu Chen said with a smile.
Repairing a mortal's martial arts meridians is not a difficult task for the alchemist Lu Chen. It is just a matter of effort. Whether he wants help or not depends only on his mood.
This child was very lucky and happened to catch up with Lu Chen when he was in a good mood.
"Can you repair my martial arts meridians?" Xiao Xu didn't believe it. He felt that Lu Chen was deceiving him.
Lu Chen nodded, with a confident smile on his face.
"It's impossible. The Enlightenment Meridian has been destroyed, and even Daluo Jinxian can't do anything." Xiao Xu said.
"How will you know if you don't try it? Have you ever heard of an alchemist?" Lu Chen asked.
"Alchemist?" Xiao Xu thought for a while and shook his head, saying, "I've never heard of it, what is it?"
"You can treat him as a profession, a profession with special skills. I won't tell you so much. If there is an alchemist here now, do you want to repair your martial arts meridians?" Lu Chen said.
"It's strange. Is there no alchemist in such a big and wealthy city?" Lu Chen thought about this question. Even the gatekeepers were at the level of ancestors and immortals. It really couldn't be justified without one or two alchemists.
Maybe Xiao Xu has never heard of it.
When Xiao Xu heard that he could repair his martial arts meridians and that this person was here, his eyes lit up and he said: "Is there an alchemist here?" He looked at the people around him, Cong Tianchi, Youli, Chihuo
The old demon and the old demon Che swept over one by one, and finally landed on Lu Chen, saying: "Could it be you?"
"Why do you think it's me?" Lu Chen asked with a smile.
"Because you give me a very mysterious feeling that no one else has." Xiao Xu had no special basis, just based on his feeling.
Xiao Xu suddenly frowned and said, "Then why are you helping me? I have no value to you."
He was not happy about the hope of repairing his martial arts meridians, but his first reaction was to ask why. This was the experience he had learned since he was growing up, and he knew that it was impossible for things to fall into the sky for no reason.
Lu Chen expressed his appreciation for Xiao Xu's vigilance. It is not easy to have such tact at such an age. "Don't worry, I just rely on my personal preference. If I am happy, I will help you. If I am unhappy, you will
Even if you die in front of me, I won't be moved." Lu Chen leaned on the table, looking very lazy, and said casually: "You are very lucky, you happened to bump into me when I was in a good mood.
.”
Although this is hurtful, it is true.
Xiao Xu knew that these people in front of him were all big shots, and he was just a useless person. What could he do for himself?
After thinking about it, Xiao Xu also looked away, bowed slightly to Lu Chen, and said: "I thank you for helping me, but I also want to ask, what kind of value can I provide you?"
Being alone for a long time, Xiao Xu's world is a world of transactions. If someone gives him a stick, he is willing to chop firewood for three days. Buddha gives him steamed buns. He offers incense and worships Buddha every day and whisks dust for Buddha statues.
"These are the ten spiritual stones from before." Lu Chen handed the immortal stone to Xiao Xu, but Xiao Xu did not accept it immediately. Xiao Xu said: "I haven't finished answering the two questions you asked me before. I still have this immortal stone."
It cannot be collected." Then he continued: "We all call the statue of the gods in the city the ancestral statue. I don't know its origin, but I know that it is a taboo here. Anyone who dares to disrespect him will, secondly,
Every day the city mysteriously disappears!”
"Is there still such a thing? Where did the person who made such arrogant remarks about the idol go? Did it never happen again?" asked the old demon Chihuo.
He said little here, but was very interested in this realization.
"I don't know about that." He stayed in the ruined temple on weekdays and rarely went out. Most of the things in the outside world he knew were only half-knowledge and he heard about them from other places.
"But I have never heard of anyone who made false claims about ancestor statues disappearing and then reappearing."
"So weird? Could it be man-made?" Che Laoyao said.
"No, because someone has seen how it disappeared!" Xiao Xu replied.
"Oh? How did that person disappear?" Tianchi asked.
"It's very mysterious. That person disappeared out of thin air in front of other people's eyes. There was no sound. It really seemed like he had disappeared from the world." There was a hint of panic in Xiao Xu's eyes.
Disappearing out of thin air! This is very weird. How can one person make another person disappear out of thin air under the eyes of others? This kind of thing makes people think about it and it is extremely scary.
"Is that statue really that weird?" Lu Chen thought to himself, but what Xiao Xu said didn't seem to be man-made.
"When was the statue built?" Lu Chen asked.
"I heard people say that there was already this statue before Fucheng existed." Xiao Xu replied: "No one dares to delve into this kind of thing. It is a taboo. I advise you not to pay attention to the statue.
." His expression was a little solemn.
"Well, we are new here and don't know much about this city. We want to ask more about this rich city and have no other thoughts." Lu Chen said.
Xiao Xu nodded. He began to have some affection for Lu Chen. Lu Chen and others were the only ones who were willing to listen to his past since he grew up.
"Why do you want immortal stones so much? Do you need to buy some immortal items?"
Immortal items are a general term, such as magic weapons, weapons, and magical herbs.
Lu Chen asked. It stands to reason that it would be useless for Xiao Xu, a mortal, to need so many fairy stones, unless he wanted to buy some secrets of techniques.
Xiao Xu nodded and said: "This is just one of them. In Fucheng, oh, no, as long as you are a native of Tianyuan Space, people with curses like me need fairy stones as sacrificial offerings once a year."
He pointed to his forehead.
Another curse!
This was not the first time Lu Chen heard this word. He asked, "Why do you call it a curse?" Lu Chen asked.
"Because the person who owns this thing cannot step out of the Tianyuan Space for the rest of his life, and he needs to turn in the Immortal Stone during the annual sacrifice."
"Sacrifice? Hand over the fairy stone?"
Xiao Xu came one by one.
It turns out that in the Tianyuan space, all people who are sealed and cursed need to be sacrificed once a year. Everyone must turn in the designated fairy stone. If the standard is not met, the city lord's palace will send someone to clean it up!
"Why sacrifice?" Tianchi asked.
"I don't know either." Xiao Xu shook his head. After all, he was just a mortal and the information he knew was limited.
"Is the fairy stone used to replenish the energy of this space?" This is just Lu Chen's guess. As we all know, the fairy stone is artificially made, the manufacturing process is cumbersome and requires a lot of energy, so the fairy stone itself is an energy body, rich in energy.
High-intensity energy, but most people do not have the ability to open it. Its production is cumbersome, and if you want to obtain the energy in it, a more cumbersome process is required.
