"Haha," the white-bearded old man smiled heartily, took back his hand on Gu Qing's shoulder, and said: "What junior, senior. My friend, I have lived here for I don't know how many years. People here call me Bai Lao.
If you are willing, little friend, just like everyone else, just call me Bai Lao."
"Others?" Gu Qing was surprised. He originally thought that the old man was the only one in this paradise, but then he realized that there were other human beings.
In this way, this place with no end in sight is probably already beyond the bottom of the entire wild mountain range.
However, he couldn't understand that if this was the case, wouldn't the entire wild mountain range be suspended in the air?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Old Bai, may I ask where this is? How do I leave?"
"Haha," Bai Lao smiled slightly and said, "I still can't let go of the past, and I can't even see through the path of cultivation. In this case, I will tell you."
As he spoke, he slowly turned around and walked towards the wooden house.
Gu Qing hurriedly followed, while listening to the old man's words, he said to himself: "It's so easy to give up everything in the past. The kindness of parents, the hatred of destruction, the grace of Yu'er's life, the love of Senior Sister Shuang'er,
The friendship of Big Brother Song. How can I forget all this, how can I give up. Maybe persistence will have an impact on my cultivation, but without persistence I will not have the courage to continue practicing."
While thinking about it, an old white voice came to my ears.
"I don't know how this place was formed, and the people who live here don't even know. We have been living here since we were young, and what we have seen over the years is nothing more than flowers blooming and falling. It is for this reason that we named this place Hua
between."
"The land among flowers seems to be boundless, but we, the people, understand that all this is just an illusion. This place cannot be boundless. However, we are unwilling to search for it, let alone leave."
"In the human world, all living beings envy immortals and want to cultivate and become immortals. But here we are, as carefree as immortals, and even better than immortals. Here, we have no disputes, all we have is happiness and living happily."
Speaking of this, Mr. Bai stopped. He stood in front of the house and looked up at the blue sky.
Said to be the sky, it is actually just a blue cover.
"Huajian is indeed a very beautiful name." Gu Qing murmured. This place deserves this name.
Close your eyes slightly and take a deep breath of the fragrant scent in the air.
He slowly opened his eyes and said, "Does Mr. Bai know the ancient world?"
Bai Lao was still looking at the blue sky, with a faint smile still on his red face.
A white robe was fluttering gently in the breeze, and the white beard on his chin was also moving gently at this time.
After Gu Qing asked, he stopped talking and waited quietly.
He knew that he had become the target of everyone in the ancient world. He was a hundred times safer here than outside.
More importantly, leaving here is probably more difficult than going to heaven.
In this case, it's better to stay here with peace of mind, figure everything out, and use the aura of this place to improve your cultivation.
After a long while, Bai Laocai said leisurely: "Although I don't know where it is in the ancient world, I can feel that there is some connection between this place and the flowers."
Bai Lao's words made Gu Qing slightly disappointed, but then he thought about it, it was normal for people here not to know about the outside world.
However, the doubts in my heart always need to be asked.
"Bai Lao can know the crack space and the monster dragon."
"Monster dragon," Bai Lao had no reaction at all about the cracked space. On the contrary, when he heard the word "monster dragon," his expression changed drastically.
However, it returned to its original state in an instant.
Seeing that Bai Lao seemed to know about the monster dragon, Gu Qing hurriedly told everything about the crack space in detail.
Listening to Gu Qing's narration, Bai Lao Shi'er was surprised, but Shi'er was frustrated.
When Gu Qing told the story, he naturally concealed the story of the golden ants.
"I finally escaped with the help of Jin Hu's Golden Wings technique and the flying sword." After saying that, he waited for Bai Lao's reaction.
At this time, Mr. Bai no longer had his original composure, his white robe was grinning, and the red light on his face was several times richer.
Looking at Gu Qing excitedly, he asked: "Monster dragon, it is indeed a monster dragon. I didn't expect him to be alive."
"Senior, do you know the monster dragon?" Gu Qing asked.
Bai Lao did not answer Gu Qing, but said to himself leisurely: "The monster dragon is a thousand-year-old spiritual python that came out from the intercourse with a cow in a thunderstorm. After it was born, it found the nearest cave to live in seclusion, and it took a hundred years to grow. It took five hundred years.
, can form the inner elixir. For more than a thousand years, the inner elixir will turn red in color. Whenever the moon shines, the demon dragon will come out of its cave to welcome the moon and swallow the inner elixir, absorbing the essence of the moon soul. After thousands of years, it can transform into another form."
During the years when Gu Qing was trapped in the cracked space, he thought about the origin of the monster dragon all the time and how powerful it was.
However, he never thought that the origin of this monster dragon would be so great.
For him, such monsters only exist in the ancient books he has read carefully.
It takes thousands of years, even tens of thousands of years, to reach the state of transformation.
What a powerful existence that was, he no longer dared to think about it.
He is a human being, a human being of flesh and blood. His lifespan is not more than a hundred years. Only after he embarked on the path of cultivating immortals did he see the hope of immortality.
However, even so, thousands of years or ten thousand years are beyond his imagination, unless it is just a soul, just the soul of life that keeps reincarnating. However, even the soul of life will be exhausted. At that time, the soul will fly away.
, it will end heaven and earth forever.
Thinking about this, I suddenly thought of the monks in the ancient world.
In this world, there are many monks who have been here for hundreds or thousands of years. Why is this?
He looked at Mr. Bai with confusion and wanted to ask.
"Alas," Mr. Bai suddenly sighed lowly, and the excitement on his face disappeared.
Lift it up slowly and gently stroke the white beard on your chin.
He said sternly: "It's a pity that everything was destroyed in that battle. The soul banner was damaged and the soul fairy fell. I originally thought that the demon dragon also fell. Now it seems that it was lucky to escape with its life, not only leaving its soul
, and even left some remnants of the body.”
"That's all right, that's all right. Finally, the Soul Immortal will not disappear forever. However, the demon dragon had a counterattack at the beginning. Now that the Soul Immortal has fallen, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to control."
Listening to Bai Lao's words, although Gu Qing was confused, the shock in his heart was getting bigger and bigger.
He could hear that this ancient world, that monster dragon, even Bai Lao in front of him, and the Soul Immortal in the latter's mouth. All of this seemed to involve an ancient secret, and it was more likely to be a bloody past event.
My admiration for Bai Lao is even deeper.
Faintly, he had an intuition that in this place among flowers, his ancient youth might change his destiny.
Thinking of this, he no longer asked about his previous doubts, but looked at Bai Lao quietly.
He believed that Mr. Bai would tell him later.
"Alas," Bai Lao sighed again, and the old voice came slowly, saying: "All the things in the past are just clouds. I didn't expect that a lot of my age would be pulled back. I can't look away, I can't look away. For many years, I have been
I thought I could be as casual as flowers blooming and falling. But I didn’t want to make my kids laugh today.”
After saying that, he reached out and took the petals floating in the wind.
Gu Qing smiled and sighed: "Yes, there are few people in the world who can truly let go of their obsessions."
Bai Lao smiled slightly, waved his hand and threw the petals into the void, and said: "I feel a little rude today when I heard the news about the monster dragon. Please don't blame me. Since you are here, you can practice here with peace of mind."
Cultivation is naturally something Gu Qing must do.
However, at this time, he wanted to know the way out from Bai Lao's mouth, to know about the Soul Immortal, to know how to deal with the monster dragon, and to know the ancient secret.
He took a step forward, approached Bai Lao, and wanted to speak.
Bai Lao waved his hand to stop Gu Qing's words and said: "Everything in the past is just clouds and smoke, and you don't know about it. As for leaving this place, don't think too much about it. I think I have been here for countless years, and I have thought about leaving countless times.
, but they have never been successful.”
Gu Qing swallowed the words that came to his lips alive. He looked at Bai Lao, clasped his fists and said, "In that case, please Bai Lao to point out a clear way."
Mr. Bai smiled slightly and said: "Minglu? Haha, come on, let's try the food I just cooked first."
When it comes to food, Gu Qing's stomach makes an unsatisfactory sound.
He smiled awkwardly, rubbed his belly sheepishly, and said, "I made Lao Bai laugh. It's been a long time since I've tasted fireworks in the world."
Bai Lao turned around slowly and walked into the room.
Gu Qing's footsteps were raised slightly, and he wanted to follow him in.
Suddenly, my eyes lit up with flowers.
When he saw what he saw clearly, he couldn't help but feel shocked.
I saw that where Bai Lao originally stood, at this moment, there was a wooden table.
The table was filled with several dishes of different colors, and two emerald green bamboos as long as arms were placed on both sides.
A light yellow gourd is parked in the center of the table. Its appearance is somewhat similar to the ancient storage ring inside the golden ant.
However, the former is much larger than the latter, and it does not have the gentle feeling of the latter.
Across the table, Mr. Bai was already sitting with a smile on his face.
"Little friend," Bai said, "come and try the old craftsmanship."
As he spoke, he reached out and took the gourd in his hand. With a tap, a cut appeared on the tip of the gourd.
The aroma of wine floats out from the gourd, making people feel refreshed when they smell it.
Faintly, even the essence and blood in the flesh and blood are ready to move.
Gu Qing secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and a gurgling sound came from his stomach.
He smiled awkwardly, recovered from the shock, and sat down opposite Bai Lao.
Bai Lao held the gourd in his right hand, and with a wave of his left hand, a refined wine glass as big as a fist, also made of emerald green bamboo, appeared out of thin air.
The gourd was tilted, and the wine came out lightly, filling the bamboo cup in an instant.
When the cup was placed in front of Gu Qing, the fragrance filled his nostrils and spread in the wind.
Take a deep breath and let the aroma flow into your nose.
The aroma enters the body and flows directly throughout the body.
At this moment, Gu Qing felt that the essence and blood in his flesh and blood became a little thicker.
I long for this wine even more.
Looking down, I saw that the wine in the bamboo cup was also emerald green, completely integrated with the cup body.
