"It's interesting to break the sword after breaking the sword again!" Ouyang Mu chuckled.
"Are you still digging? If you don't dig, go to bed!" Bai Ze choked him angrily.
"Dig, dig!" Ouyang Mu said hurriedly.
The spiritual stone was not buried deeply, so it was much easier for the two of them to dig it out. After working until dawn the next day, the two of them finally called it a day. Without even saying a word, they found a place and fell asleep.
After digging like this for two days and two nights, the two of them got nine spiritual stones in total. On the third day, the two again ate all the supplies they had prepared, slipped out of the cave, prepared to collect food, and came back to work hard.
"How many are left?" Ouyang Mu asked Bai Ze.
"Only three can be dug, and the rest are too deep." Bai Ze said.
"Twelve, six for each person, it's a good score." Ouyang Mu said.
Except for the two of them in the cave, the sky was dark.
It was only afternoon, but it seemed like night was approaching. The sky was filled with cumulonimbus clouds, thick and black, the valley was sultry, and heavy rain was coming.
"It's time to pick up some dry branches now, otherwise when it rains, the wood will get wet, and it will become smoke when burned, and it will choke to death." Ouyang Mu said.
So the two of them hurriedly took action, picking up tree branches, collecting wild fruits, and then ran to the knee-deep river in the valley to catch fish.
Halfway through catching the fish, there was a thunder in the sky and the whole valley trembled. Then the heavy rain poured down, and the big raindrops soaked the two of them instantly.
"It's raining heavily!" Ouyang Mu shouted.
The sky is full of rain, combining heaven and earth. It was dark all around, and suddenly, lightning flashed across the sky, as if a furious dragon appeared in the sky, and the entire valley was suddenly illuminated white!
"Crack!!"
Lightning intertwined, as if the world was annihilated. That's not all. Immediately afterwards, there was another thunder. With a bang, Bai Ze felt that the entire valley was shaken by the thunder, and rubble was rolling on the cliff.
"Let's go!" Bai Ze shouted, "Go back to the cave, the rain is too heavy and it's hard to catch fish!"
"Okay, let's go!" Ouyang Mu also shouted, otherwise, even if the two were not far apart, the violent sound of rain would prevent them from hearing each other.
There was a heavy rain, and in an instant, the waterfall on the cliff swelled, and the water was turbid. The water in the entire river at the bottom of the valley also quickly swelled, and the water flow was rapid.
The two of them walked quickly through the rain and ran towards the cave.
Suddenly I heard a loud roar, which sounded like thunder. Bai Ze took a closer look and saw a black shadow monster emerging from the water in the direction of the cold pool, bathing in the heavy rain. It seemed excited, seemed crazy, and roared.
The earth is shaking!
"Crack!" The dragon-snake-like lightning cracked through the air, headed straight towards the cold pool, struck the cliff, violently broke the waterfall, and sent rocks flying.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord!" Ouyang Mu's face turned pale with fright. With this blow, the Great Luo Immortal couldn't save him!
But the bull ghost was not afraid of rejoicing, and flopped more vigorously, mooed, and sank to the bottom of the pool. Then with a splash, it shot straight into the sky.
"Is this beast tired of living?!" Ouyang Mu was stunned.
Bai Ze was also startled, but something even more terrifying followed soon after. Three lightning bolts in succession, as if being pulled by a cow ghost, shot through the air and hit its figure rising into the sky almost at the same time!
"Boom!!" The thunder roared.
The entire valley was illuminated extremely brightly by lightning. Bai Ze was overwhelmed by this terrifying power of nature, but the cow ghost seemed to be enjoying it. His whole body was scorched black by the lightning, but he still screamed, fell into the cold pool, and soared into the sky again. Get up!
"Crack!"
The lightning that destroyed the world came again.
"Wuliang...Tianzun!" Ouyang Mu's tongue was straightened. He felt like the hair on his head stood on end just watching Niu Gui being slashed.
"Hurry up!" Bai Ze pushed Ouyang Mu and rushed towards the cave entrance in a panic.
"Moo!!" More than ten feet deep into the cave, Bai Ze could still hear the roar of the cow ghost, which was like thunder, shaking the sky.
Thunderstorms fell all night.
The two of them ate and drank, then stuck their butts out and worked hard. After digging into the middle of the night, the two of them were digging soil in a hole about half a person's height when they suddenly heard a long sigh: "Alas——"
"Damn it, Xiaobai, you can mine as long as you want. Why are you sighing? I'm scared!" Ouyang Mu cursed.
"Fart!" Bai Ze also cursed, "When did I sigh..."
"It's not you who sighs, is it a ghost?" Ouyang Mu rolled his eyes, "It's not me anyway..."
At this point, both of them suddenly fell silent.
Because they heard another sigh, right behind them.
"well……"
The torches crackled, and the entire cave was illuminated by the light reflected by the crystals. But at this time, no one thought that the scene in front of them was beautiful, but instead seemed weird everywhere.
"Mother... mother." Ouyang Mu's neck straightened, "Have you dug up the zombie ancestor?"
"Stop fucking kidding me." Bai Ze's teeth were chattering. "Look back and see what...is sighing behind you."
"Why the hell don't you look back?" Ouyang Mu was trembling.
At this moment, another sigh came from behind, "Oh, you are finally here."
"What the fuck!" Bai Ze's hair exploded and his tongue felt bitter.
"I'll count to three, two, and one, and turn around together." Ouyang Mu tightly grasped the long sword in his hand, "Damn it, the worst case scenario is death... I'm so scared!"
"Okay, okay!" Bai Ze stumbled and nodded.
"three."
"two……"
"one!"
After Ouyang Mu finished counting, the two of them jumped out of the pit at the same time, as if they were electrocuted, and looked back at the same time. That look almost scared Bai Ze out of his wits!
I saw a bald man sitting in the shadow not far away!
"Where did the bald man come from?" Ouyang Mu slipped his Adam's apple and was born with difficulty.
"Call the eminent monk, you bastard!" Bai Ze wanted to slap Ouyang Mu to death. This old monk appeared in the mine silently, and his cultivation level was probably as high as the sky. Ouyang Mu didn't know how to live or die, and dared to call him bald. If he got angry, he would be much more aggressive than that juvenile bull ghost!
It might kill someone!
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Ouyang Mu fired his bow from left to right and slapped himself repeatedly, "Senior monk, please show your respect. I know I'm wrong, I'm wrong!"
The old monk in the shadow was like an old pine, sitting there motionless, as if he didn't see Bai Ze and Ouyang Mu, and didn't hear Ouyang Mu's begging for mercy. He just looked straight in the direction of the entrance of the cave.
Bai Ze was thoughtful and turned back stiffly.
A black shadow came quietly, like a ghost. You could clearly see him walking, but it seemed like he was flying off the ground.
Bai Ze looked down and realized that the man had no legs and was indeed flying.
No, flying may not be accurate, I should say floating.
"I'm coming," the man said.
Ouyang Mu really saw a ghost. He had heard that the Sword Immortal could cut down the stars with one sword, and he had also heard that there were immortals overseas who could live forever, but he had never heard of anyone who had a way to use Piao.
"I feel like something is wrong." Bai Ze said suddenly, "Look at the dagger on that man's waist."
"Dagger?" Ouyang Mu looked at it and shouted immediately, "Isn't that sword the broken sword in your hand? What's going on?"
Bai Ze seemed to understand, "They should all be phantoms."
"Phantom?" Ouyang Mu asked.
"Thunder and lightning distorted the spiritual veins of this mountain, causing what happened on a thunderstorm night a hundred years ago to be 'recorded', and then reappeared on today's thunderstorm night." Bai Ze explained, "Before, I heard Xie Xuan follow I said this kind of thing, and he said something like this happened in the Taoist ancestral court. After the Taoist immortal ascended to the ancestral court, his disciples once said that they saw the Taoist immortal return to Kyushu in the ancestral court. And the day when the Taoist immortal appeared was also a night of thunder and rain! "
"So, this old bald man and the nose in this Taoist robe are the images of people who died a hundred years ago?" Ouyang Mu seemed to understand, but if it was what the old god said, it should be true.
The old man Xie Xuan is not an ordinary tall man. He is not Mu Qingling. To the Nine Provinces Sword Emperor, Xie Xuan's name is like thunder.
"Look!" Bai Ze's eyes shone, "Maybe, it's a rare opportunity!"
This old monk and Taoist look very extraordinary. It's just the phantom left behind a hundred years ago, which already gives people a faint mountain-like momentum!
"What do you want this time?" The old monk asked calmly while sitting cross-legged.
"It's a matter of life and death," said the old Taoist.
"In that case, why not engrave our respective unique skills in this cave?" the old monk said, "You and I are also arrogant in our own sects, and we have no successors. What do you think?"
"Do monks also have egos?" said the old Taoist.
"It's not obsession, it's the unfinished cause and effect." The old monk said, smiling calmly, "You and I follow the way of heaven. If we get the way but don't preach it, isn't it true that there is a cause but no effect?"
"That's right." The old Taoist nodded, "If you die and I live, I will preach for you. If I die and you live, you will preach for me."
After saying that, they both pointed their fingers at the same time and began to draw in the air.
"What did you write?" Ouyang Mu asked.
"It should be on the stone wall of this cave!" Bai Ze looked for traces. The light was dim, but he couldn't see clearly.
Ouyang Mu moved and moved directly to the direction pointed by the old Taoist. When he saw it, he immediately exclaimed: "There are indeed writings! However, this stone wall is mostly damaged."
Bai Ze also ran over, and suddenly saw the cave wall. The handwriting left by the two people with their energy a hundred years ago was mostly damaged, and it looked like it was caused by a fight.
"Okay." The old Taoist said, standing with his hands behind his hands, "It's just that there are nineteen great avenues, and everyone has his own gain. Although you and I preach, we can't explain all the great avenues in the world."
"Buddha's teachings are boundless." The old monk said, "In that case, it's better to ask for three moves. How many unique skills are left in this cave are the principles recognized by heaven."
"Very good!" The old man drew his sword loudly.
"Amitabha!" The old monk stood up, chanted the Buddha's name, and raised one hand, "My Buddha is compassionate."
"What the hell are these two old guys doing?" Ouyang Mu cursed, "Just preach, what else are they doing to Tiandao Nineteen?"
Bai Ze also felt a pity that most of the secret knowledge left by the two people on the stone wall had been destroyed, but it was a rare opportunity for masters to compete with each other. A look at it might be beneficial to his future practice!
So he didn't say much, and stared at the two afterimages in the cave with his eyes wide open.
