He quietly returned to the sect, feeling confused.
Surrounded by green mountains, Xiang Zhihan knelt on the white jade-covered hall. In front of him was a stone statue of an old man.
The stone statue is about five feet tall, with a long beard and eyebrows, and a compassionate face. The stone statue is carved very finely, and you can even see every strand of his hair and beard, as well as the slightly bulging eyeballs and wrinkles on his face. It seems that it is not a stone statue, but a living person.
"Master." Xiang Zhihan said to the stone statue, "My disciple is confused, please ask Master for answers."
It's ridiculous to say that Xiang Zhihan is the undoubted number one person in the world of immortality today. Although his reputation is not well-known outside, even not as good as his promiscuous junior brother, in terms of strength, no one can match him.
But such a powerful person would actually call a stone statue "Master" and beg him to answer his questions. Could it be that stones can still speak?
The stone spoke.
"Zhihan, Tianji asked you to investigate, what do you think?"
Xiang Zhihan shook his head, "Disciple, I don't know. Master, I don't want to investigate anymore, and I don't want to care about the destined person. I'll go back to the sect and continue to practice, okay?"
"I will definitely be able to ascend to the upper world with my own efforts."
"Nonsense!" the stone statue said sternly, "Do you think we can't ascend to the upper world because we don't work hard enough?"
Xiang Zhihan froze on the spot. He looked around and saw that there were hundreds of stone statues of different sizes behind the stone statues. They were male or female, old or young.
"Zhihan, don't mess around. We have already walked the path you want to choose for you, so it won't work."
"That secret treasure was left behind by the great sages of the Qingyun Sect. It can be used to explore the secrets of heaven. Whatever it says must be true."
"Zhihan, you are not only the hope of our Qingyun Sect, but also the hope of the entire immortal world. It has been twelve hundred years, but no one from our lower world has ascended, and the only chance right now is with you."
Xiang Zhihan knelt straight on the ground, a bit of struggle flashed in his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Disciple, I understand."
"I know that you are devoted to the Tao and don't understand love." The stone statue said, "Did you come here this time and fall in love with that woman?"
Xiang Zhihan's eyes were confused and confused, "I...I feel like I haven't been myself lately."
"Hey." The stone statue gave a long sigh and replied, "Zhihan, if you want to explore love, you must fall in love first. Put down your shackles for the time being, and do it with your true heart, love."
Xiang Zhihan wanted to ask again, but the stone statue whispered, "Let's go, let's go."
Xiang Zhihan knelt in front of the stone statue for another moment, then stood up, straightened his robe, and walked out.
He lowered his eyes and thought, falling in love?
He seemed to understand what the master meant.
A romantic young man holding a folding fan came towards me. He smelled of alcohol and makeup, and asked with a smile, "Senior brother, is the method I taught you useful?"
He winked and asked, "That little lady must be in love with you, right?"
Xiang Zhihan thought of Jiang Buwan's disgusted expression and his words about whether he had a bug in his eye when he imitated him earlier.
He pinched his fingertips and replied, "Junior brother, those tricks of yours are not useful for all girls."
"Wanwan, she is very special."
The young man stared at Xiang Zhihan for a long time, and then laughed. He laughed so hard that his chest touched his back, and he slapped his fan. "You are miserable, you have fallen in love."
Xiang Zhihan:. . .
He was unhappy in his heart and wanted to turn around and leave. How could he be miserable when he fell in love?
The master asked him to enjoy this love with his heart. After removing the shackles, his heart felt sweet when he thought of Jiang Buwan.
This is obviously the happiest thing in the world, how could it be miserable?
At this time, Xiang Zhihan still didn't know that love was like arsenic wrapped in sugar. It was so sweet that it was wrapped in heartbreaking poison.
"Hey, hey, hey. Don't go." The young man stopped Xiang Zhihan and said, "Tell me about that little lady of yours. I'm really curious about what kind of person can take our senior brother from the Heart of Stone and Wood. Are you so obsessed?"
Xiang Zhihan didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but when he heard the other party asking Jiang Buwan, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth unconsciously, and he thought of chatting with him slowly.
Just as he was about to speak, a girl's voice suddenly sounded from the top of the mountain in the distance, "Lin Rufeng! Get out of here! How dare you hook up with another girl when you have me?! See if I don't take your skin off today!" !”
Lin Rufeng's expression changed and he said hurriedly, "Senior brother, don't say I've been here!"
After Lin Rufeng finished speaking, he turned around and hid in the hall behind him, disappearing without a trace.
The woman kneaded the secret with one hand, shrunk to an inch, and in an instant she was in front of Xiang Zhihan. She asked angrily, "Have you seen Lin Rufeng?"
Xiang Zhihan nodded honestly and did not hesitate to sell his junior brother. He pointed to the hall and replied, "It's inside."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Xiang."
After the woman finished speaking, she rushed into the hall again, but after searching for a long time, there was no trace of Lin Rufeng.
After a while, she came out alone again and shouted loudly, "Lin Rufeng, if you dare, never come out again."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, just as furious as when she came.
His junior brother dare not be ranked first in other abilities, but he is ranked second in the ability of escape. No one dares to be ranked first. As long as he wants to hide, no one can find him.
Not long after the woman left, Lin Rufeng came out again. When he saw Xiang Zhihan, he snorted coldly and said, "I know that senior brother is ruthless and ruthless. He sold my whereabouts in an instant. Fortunately, I have an escape technique." Be clever, otherwise she would have caught it.”
Xiang Zhihan: "This is because you can't help but love that girl. If you find someone you love, you should be loyal to her. How can you be erratic?"
Lin Rufeng waved her fan and replied, "What's wrong with me? I just want to give every girl a home."
Xiang Zhihan:. . .
He shouldn't have said another word to him just now.
He turned around and left, but was pulled back by Lin Rufeng, "Hey, senior brother, senior brother."
"You haven't told me about you and that girl yet."
Xiang Zhihan resisted the urge to kick him to death and replied, "You should focus on cultivation instead of these useless chores."
"Cultivation?" Lin Rufeng sneered, "Do you work hard to become a stone man?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly solidified. Lin Rufeng knew that he had said the wrong thing and said, "Brother, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."
Xiang Zhihan exhaled a breath and replied, "What are you apologizing for?"
He looked at the dense stone statues deep in the hall and said, "What you said is also true."
As Master said, no one has successfully ascended in twelve hundred years. At first, the monks thought it was their own problem, but later they discovered that it seemed that the heavenly laws of this world did not allow them to ascend.
But the monks fought with the sky and the earth, and no one backed down even if the road ahead was bleak. For the great road in their hearts, they overcame thunder tribulations and soared one after another.
But without exception, they all ended in failure.
Among the failed monks, there was a genius who developed a technique that could keep your soul immortal after ascension, but your body would turn into a stone statue.
As for the antidote? No.
Ascension is a situation where death is inevitable, but now there is a way to keep the soul immortal. Although it is a stone statue, it is better than having nothing left.
Perhaps one day, when the next monk ascends, he can help these monks who have turned into stone statues to be liberated. Help these failed monks and ask God why they are not allowed to ascend?
