Lao Xiaokai has been holding on for too long.
Before he was imprisoned here, he was imprisoned in many places. He didn't know the names of those places. Anyway, every time he moved to a place, some people came to see him and tried various means to force him to speak. After arriving here, the frequency of looking for him gradually became less and less, but it became more and more difficult for him every day.
Under the monk's methods, he cannot die without eating or drinking, but he will feel hungry and thirsty. Forget about food. When drinking, a few drops of water would occasionally fall down, and he would catch them in the only stone bowl. But maybe in a few days, he won't need it anymore, because after being tortured by many soul-searching and other spells, it was already difficult for him to control his body. Soon he could only lie on the cold ground and listen. The never-ending cries of ghosts and howls of wolves, unable to survive or die.
"I've never heard of it, what is it?" Lao smiled and heard Li Chuan's answer.
Lao laughed and said: "When the Shenxia Temple was built, on the first sacrificial day, the Dragon King at the bottom of the Qinshui Pond saw the prosperity of the Shenxia Temple and was very dissatisfied. He thought the Shenxia was transformed by some kind of spirit. , so he controlled the water in Qinshuitan and flooded the Shenxia Temple, and all the people who participated in the sacrifice sank into the water."
"Then what?" Li Chuan asked.
Lao smiled and said: "Then a golden light suddenly fell from the sky. The people in the water caught the light and were taken to a small island. They all survived. Only then did the Dragon King know that the magic man was the ancient immortal Tiansu. The relationship between Shenxia and Tiansu has only become known to the world.”
Li Chuan listened and felt that this legend was as unspeakable as the previous legend of a filial son beheading his father to save his father.
Lao smiled and said: "Qinshuitan, you will know when you go to see it. It is a not big lake and there is no island in it."
Li Chuan knew that Lao Xiaokai had got to the point.
Then, Lao smiled and said: "Three hundred years ago, the ancestor of my sect was selling medicine in a market near Qinshuitan. One day, while he was guarding the stall, a bunch of people suddenly came. The man overturned his stall, and when Master saw something was wrong, he quickly ran away."
Hearing this, Li Chuan blurted out, "Your ancestor, did you defraud people of their money?"
Lao laughed and denied, "How is that possible? Are you still listening?"
"Listen, you continue." Li Chuan said immediately.
Lao smiled and continued: "My ancestor escaped and finally escaped from the market. Unexpectedly, they arranged for people to guard outside the market. He panicked and ran as fast as he could, and ended up at Qinshuitan. , jumped into the lake."
"My ancestor was good at swimming, but he didn't expect that he had already escaped into the lake. They were still chasing him, and they jumped into the lake one by one. He swam desperately in the water, and he was about to be chased. When he came up, he saw a golden light flashing deep in the lake."
"He remembered the legend of Shenxiamen, so he swam towards the depths of the water, and finally caught the golden light before he was caught up. When he woke up again, he arrived on an island." Lao said with a smile: "That's where the Shenxia Sect is."
"Then your ancestor got the inheritance of the hero?" Li Chuan asked.
"Don't worry, I will talk about it," Lao Xiaokai said according to his train of thought: "There are many stone statues on the island, in different poses. When the ancestor was recuperating on the island, he began to study these stone statues. Once he accidentally made the same posture as the stone statue, he felt a force filling his body. He could easily lift a boulder weighing ten thousand kilograms and jump more than a hundred feet high."
"French style?" Li Chuan asked.
"Yes, that's the French way."
"You also found out about my sect. It was originally a branch of the Spring Sect. It has a history of 1,600 years and had more than a hundred sects at its peak." Lao Xiaokai said with some pride in his tone: " The Patriarch brought them to the island and taught them the methods he summarized, and from then on the Shenxia Sect was established."
"According to the Patriarch, he once fought against a monk from Tianyu Sect, and that monk was no match for him."
"What happened next?" Li Chuan asked.
"Later, the ancestor died." Lao said with a smile.
"ah?"
"Other people who learned French also died one after another." Lao said with a smile.
"Then you still want to trick me into learning?" Li Chuan said.
"You didn't learn."
"Then..." Li Chuan realized that the topic had been brought up by him, and he said, "If we don't talk about this anymore, what happens next?"
Lao smiled and said: "Of the remaining people alive, some left, and some were unwilling to give in and wanted to find out the reason. Among the people who stayed, one person found the eyes of the stone statue on the day of the God's sacrifice. Something changed, and they were all looking in the same direction. He looked in that direction and found a shrine. After he got closer, he was teleported to a pavilion by the water, and there was also a shrine in the pavilion."
"That person passed the trial set by the Divine Hero and received part of the Divine Hero's inheritance. From then on, he can use the magic at will without being repulsed."
"Moreover, he can also hear the prayers of believers in the Temple of Gods in his dreams. After he solves the believers' troubles, the more power he gets through the method."
Lao smiled and licked his lower lips and said: "The inheritance of Shenxia should have six gates, because there are six shrines with different styles. But currently, there are only three gates passed down, the medicine gate, the utensil gate, and the food gate. .”
"I am the only one left in the Medicine Sect. There may be a few people in the Qi Sect. The Food Sect was cut off a hundred years ago." Lao said with a smile.
Li Chuan couldn't help but expressed his opinion again, saying, "It's better not to pass on the inheritance and continue to be a charlatan. Maybe there will be thousands of people."
"There's no turning back," Lao said with a smile, "Brother Li, what I'm going to say next is the biggest secret of the Shenxia Temple. You should listen carefully."
After hearing this, Li Chuan immediately sat upright and made a gesture of listening carefully.
Lao smiled and said: "I landed on the island when I was sixteen years old. Master, originally I wanted to land on the island when I was twenty years old. After my master passed away, what I thought about most was to land on the island as soon as possible. After I finish my studies, I will avenge my master. My master has been trying to persuade me for many years. When I was sixteen years old, I couldn’t bear it anymore. My master also left at that time, so I followed the book left by my master and arrested him. Arriving at Golden Light, we landed on the island.”
"I successfully found the shrine, arrived at the pavilion near the lake, participated in the trial, and inherited the Medicine Sect." Lao said with a smile: "I may have gone further than the people before me, but these None of it matters."
"The important thing is that I stayed in there for thirty-six days and nights. I counted them every day, and I counted them very clearly. After I went out, I appeared on a busy street. I was being lectured by an old man, saying that I At a young age, but not learning well, stealing things...I just realized that I was back to four years ago."
Lao smiled and said: "Everyone who receives the inheritance will go back to an earlier time, some three days, some a few months, and I was four years ago."
