The voice of the old man in black fell into Zhou Yuan's ears. It was undoubtedly like thunder, and it made his heart tremble. The old man in front of him could tell what had happened to him with just one glance.
The girl in green came behind the old man in black. She glanced at Zhou Yuan who was in shock. Tuntun on the side jumped up and wanted to throw herself into her arms, but at this time, the girl stretched out her arms in disgust.
I picked it up with my fingers and threw it into the water tank.
Tuntun looked extremely aggrieved when he was thrown into the water tank, but knowing that the girl had mysophobia, he had no choice but to obediently bathe himself. The scene was particularly funny.
However, Zhou Yuan was indifferent to this funny scene. He just looked at the mysterious old man in black in shock. After a while, the shock faded away and was replaced by some hope.
Since the old man in black in front of him can see the problem with his body at a glance, he must not be an ordinary person. Perhaps, the problem of his eight meridians not showing up can really be solved here.
Zhou Yuan took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement surging in his heart, clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Junior Zhou Yuan, I have met my senior."
The old man in black nodded and said, "As expected, he is from the Zhou family."
He glanced at Zhou Yuan who was about to stop talking but had blazing eyes. He seemed to know what he was thinking, and immediately said with a strange smile: "I know what you are thinking. Yes, I can help you solve the problem of the eight meridians that are not obvious."
The question is just, why should I help you?"
Zhou Yuan was startled, silent for a moment, and then he considered his words and said: "This junior doesn't know where this place is, nor who the senior is, but since the secret cave left by our ancestors of the Zhou family will lead to this place, I guess senior
He must have interacted with my ancestors of the Zhou family."
When the old man in black heard this, he didn't comment.
Zhou Yuan also completely regained his composure at this time. He stared at the old man in black and said slowly: "With the current state of this junior, there is nothing that can be done to impress the senior. However, I can see that the senior should be
Wait for me...?"
The moment the old man in black saw him, Zhou Yuan was able to determine with his keen intuition that there was a strange light flashing deep in the eyes of the old man in black.
The rocking recliner finally paused slightly at this moment. The old man in black narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Zhou Yuan with no apparent emotion or anger. He said: "Little baby, your tone is not small. What qualifications do you think you have to deserve me?"
Come and wait?"
Regarding the words of the old man in black, Zhou Yuan smiled and shook his head, saying: "I don't know the answer to this, maybe, senior knows a little bit about it?"
The old man in black stared at Zhou Yuan with his eyes full of vicissitudes of life. Although there was no terrifying aura, there was a sense of oppression that made the entire ancient forest seem to become quiet at this moment.
Outside the hut, a thin young man with a slight smile on his face looked directly at the old man in black, his eyes fearless, really like that of a newborn calf.
He believed that the secret message circulating within their Zhou family was untargeted. Since he was able to come here, there must be a reason, and he also believed in his own feeling.
That kind of oppression rolled like a thundercloud. After a long time, a helpless smile suddenly appeared on the expressionless old face of the old man in black. He lay on the chair and sighed: "It seems that he is really old.
Wow, you can't even scare a kid."
Behind the old man in black, the girl in green glanced at Zhou Yuan with her bright eyes, and said in a clear and calm voice: "He is pretending, but in fact he is scared to death."
"Well..."
The expression on Zhou Yuan's face was stagnant, and he immediately revealed an embarrassed smile, because at this time, his back was indeed wet with cold sweat. After all, no matter how calm he was, facing the only opportunity in front of him, he could not really
Completely calm.
"Senior..." He looked longingly at the old man in black.
"That's all." The old man in black also put away his expression, looked at Zhou Yuan, and said: "I can solve the problem of your eight meridians not showing up, but there is one condition."
"Conditions?" Zhou Yuan was startled, and then nodded seriously: "Senior, please tell me."
The old man in black sighed softly, turned his head and looked at the slim girl in green beside him, and said slowly: "I want you to take Yaoyao out of here and protect her."
"Yaoyao?" Zhou Yuan was stunned again and looked at the girl in green. Obviously, this should be her name. As expected, she is as delicate and delicate as her name suggests.
"Grandpa Black." The girl in green bit her red lips lightly, her delicate and delicate face showing some reluctance and resistance at this moment.
The old man in black patted the girl in green's jade hand gently and said warmly: "Yaoyao, Grandpa Hei will be away for a while because of something, so he can't stay with you anymore."
The girl named Yaoyao's crystal clear eyes dimmed. She glanced at Zhou Yuan and said softly: "Grandpa Hei, he is too weak."
Zhou Yuan had an embarrassed look on his face, but as he had not yet opened his veins, in the eyes of others, he was indeed powerless.
When the old man in black heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. He glanced at Zhou Yuan and said, "Although this little kid is weak now, it's hard to say about the future."
"Grandpa Hei, will I be able to see you again in the future?" Yaoyao whispered. As smart as she was, she couldn't sense that the behavior of the old man in black seemed to be asking for help. Obviously, he might be going there.
Doing something extremely dangerous may even cost his life.
The old man in black didn't answer, but gently patted Yaoyao's little hand.
Then he turned his head, looked at Zhou Yuan, and said with a smile: "How is it?"
Zhou Yuan's immature face was solemn. He bowed respectfully to the old man in black and said slowly: "Although I don't have much power now, I can promise senior that if anyone wants to hurt Sister Yaoyao,
, then, what he wants to do is to step over my body first."
Although the young man's voice was a little immature, it had an undeniable quality that made people look at him.
When the old man in black heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on his old face.
"In that case..." The old man in black smiled, stared at Zhou Yuan, and said: "Then let's solve the problem of your eight meridians not showing up..."
Zhou Yuan's spirit suddenly perked up and he looked at the old man in black with burning eyes.
Seeing his expectant look, the old man in black suddenly had a strange smile on his lips, and then he suddenly waved his sleeves.
boom!
The earth shook, and a huge crack was torn directly from Zhou Yuan's feet, forming a dark abyss, which swallowed the horrified Zhou Yuan in one bite.
ah!
Zhou Yuan's body fell crazily, and screams came from his mouth. At the same time, a thick black liquid spread out from the darkness and wrapped around his hands and feet.
The black liquid eroded inch by inch, and severe pain followed. It seemed that the skin all over his body was being corroded.
What frightened Zhou Yuan the most was that the black liquid invaded along the pores of his body and was actually destroying the inside of his body, corroding all the flesh, blood, and meridians wherever the black liquid passed.
Severe pain and fear eroded Zhou Yuan's soul, and a thick aura of death filled the air.
He felt that if he allowed those black liquids to corrode, he would really die here.
Zhou Yuan struggled crazily. He activated the three Origin Patterns carved on his body without hesitation. However, just when the three Origin Patterns burst into light, black liquid surged in and the light was extinguished. The last three Origin Patterns were extinguished.
The source pattern was also eroded and erased by the black liquid...
Zhou Yuan's heart became completely cold as the three Origin Patterns were shattered.
The black liquid spread and finally covered Zhou Yuan's eyes. Severe pain surged in. It seemed that both eyes were corroded, and the whole world fell into darkness.
In the darkness, Zhou Yuan felt the severe pain coming from inside his body, and the black liquid was eroding away layer by layer.
The smell of death is getting stronger and stronger.
This is not an illusion. If he cannot stop the erosion of the black liquid, he will really die!
"I can't die here!"
"I want to restore my mother's longevity! I want to avenge my father! And my sacred dragon luck that was taken away from me!"
"I haven't completed any of this, how could I die here?!"
"I can't die!"
In the darkness, an angry and unwilling roar echoed in Zhou Yuan's heart. The roar contained a deep obsession and desire for survival.
And just when death was really approaching and the roar in Zhou Yuan's body kept echoing, suddenly, Zhou Yuan's mind seemed to drop suddenly. At this moment, he vaguely seemed to see, in the deepest part of the body, eight winding paths.
The faint light is faintly visible.
Eight rays of light are entrenched, like a crawling dragon.
"That's... practicing eight meridians?!"
Zhou Yuan looked at the eight rays of light, his heart was shocked, and he suddenly realized that they were the eight meridians of cultivation that had never been revealed in his body!
roar!
At this moment when real death was approaching, they seemed to be aware of the crisis, and immediately began to squirm slowly, like a hidden dragon, emitting some kind of low dragon roar.
Buzz!
At that moment, intense light suddenly erupted from the deepest part of Zhou Yuan's body. Wherever the light swept, the black liquid began to melt and dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a few breaths, all the darkness was gone.
Zhou Yuan's closed eyes suddenly opened at this moment, and bright light entered his eyes again. He fell down, his whole body seemed to be fished out of the water, and sweat dripped down his young face.
flow down.
"Hoo, ho."
Zhou Yuan was breathing heavily and looked around. At this time, he was still standing in front of the hut. Everything before was like an illusion.
"Was it fake just now?" Zhou Yuan was startled.
"What do you think?" came an old voice from the front, and the old man in black was looking at him with a faint smile.
Zhou Yuan's expression changed, because he could clearly feel how real the aura of death was before. He slowly raised his palm, but his pupils suddenly shrank.
Because he saw a faint black mark on his fingertips, disappearing quietly.
The black traces are exactly the same as the black liquid from before.
"Is it true?!" Zhou Yuan's mind was shaken, and he was finally sure that everything that happened just now was true, but the methods of the old man in black were too unbelievable.
"Feel your body." The old man in black said with a smile.
When Zhou Yuan heard this, his mind moved and he closed his eyes to sense himself. At this moment, his heartbeat suddenly vibrated like thunder, and disbelief began to appear on his young and pale face.
Because at this time, he could clearly feel that in his body, the eight meridians were like hidden dragons flying out of the abyss, winding and entrenching.
These eight meridians are the eight meridians at the beginning of spiritual practice!
Zhou Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes full of excitement. He stared closely at the old man in black, his voice trembling.
