Shrouding the sky and asking for immortals

Chapter 11 The Mysterious Old Man
"Who is this?" Wei Wei was shocked.

The old man's speed was extremely fast, but in the blink of an eye, he broke through the limitation of space and landed outside the barren ancient forbidden land.

"Dead... all dead..."

When Weiwei heard such words, her mood was ups and downs, like a stormy sea. She couldn't help thinking: "Who can do all this, and make such a powerful old man in front of me heartbroken. He can't protect his former relatives and friends?" friend?"

"Could it be the creatures in the ancient forbidden land?" Weiwei looked into the ancient forbidden land, and the old man looked there. Could it be that the old man has entered the forbidden ancient land?
Weiwei was startled by her own thoughts. Since ancient times, there are almost no monks who can walk out of the ancient forbidden land alive. Now, this old man is suspected to have walked out from somewhere alive. If this news spreads, it will shock the world!
The mysterious old man was very spoiled, with disheveled hair, unshaven beard, and tattered clothes, like a beggar, but Wei Wei did not dare to underestimate the old man, she was a little flustered now, the old man would not just trample her to death as a little ant!

Weiwei didn't move. Seeing the old man staring blankly at the ancient forbidden land, as if he didn't notice her, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Weiwei had a lot of thoughts in her mind, she hesitated for a moment, and shouted: "Old senior, old senior..."

The mysterious old man didn't respond, but was still staring at the ancient forbidden land in a daze.

Seeing this, Weiwei didn't call out to the old man anymore, it's better not to disturb the old man, lest she is really shot to death, and then there is no place to reason.

Weiwei calmed down and began to practice again. She visually judged that the old man had no malicious intentions. Moreover, if there was any, the old man would definitely be able to slap her to death. Even if she ran quickly, she would definitely not be able to escape the old man.

Weiwei calmed down and silently sensed the Dao patterns around her. She studied nature and wanted to find a magic method from it.

Although Weiwei has been practicing meditation, she has been observing the old man carefully.

After an unknown amount of time, the old man who had stood still finally moved.

He stepped out, and his figure appeared thousands of meters away. Weiwei saw his movements clearly this time.

It is a mysterious footwork, the old man seems to have only taken one step, but the Taoist method is like thousands of steps stepping out, and when they hit the ground, they merge into one step again.

Among them, Dao patterns are born and extinguished, and the number is endless. Wei Wei saw at a glance that the complicated Dao patterns almost burst her sea of ​​consciousness.

Weiwei's mind seemed to be about to explode. She stood there, feeling like she was about to faint when she moved. In desperation, she had to take a rough look at the Dao patterns, memorize some textures first, and then quickly cut them off.

But there were too many dao patterns. Seeing the old man walking farther and farther, Weiwei made a quick decision and cut off most of the dao patterns, leaving less than [-]% of the dao patterns in her sea of ​​consciousness.

Weiwei suddenly felt relieved, as if a big rock had been lifted from her mind. Without thinking too much, she quickly got up and chased after the old man.

The old man has a high level of cultivation, and his footwork is even more mysterious. Weiwei realized that she had met an expert, and this was her chance. She chased after him and tried to memorize the old man's footwork.

The old man simply didn't go far, he seemed to be recalling the past, and kept walking around the ancient forbidden area, Weiwei followed, and just these few times, she memorized some Dao patterns, and now, her feet are also Flashing streamer, the speed is extremely fast.

Weiwei probably imitated about [-] to [-] percent, and just when she wanted to continue learning, the old man burst out laughing, tears streaming down his old face, he cried and laughed, raised his head to the sky and roared, and finally rushed to the sky.

Weiwei stopped, this time she didn't catch up, the old man was too fast, he rushed directly to the sky, and disappeared in an instant.

Weiwei understood that the old man hadn't exerted all his strength before so that he could keep up with him. If he broke out with all his strength, he couldn't keep up with him at all, let alone learn footwork.

Although Weiwei feels pity, she knows how to be content, she just got it by chance, don't force it, the most important thing for her now is to study the law of the ancient forbidden land in front of her.

The appearance of the old man reminded her that the ancient forbidden land is not as harmless as it appears on the surface, it is like a sleeping "monster", usually do not see anything, once it wakes up, it will devour everything, Weiwei completely dispelled it The thought of going in.

"Even if you want to go in, your strength should reach the level of this mysterious old man in order to have a little self-protection ability," Wei Wei thought of the old man's last soaring departure. That kind of terrifying might, even the legendary Lord of the Holy Land, would not be able to protect himself. But that's all!

Weiwei's heart ignited a momentum again, and she will reach such a state in the future, "The world is so big, I am free and unrestrained," such a belief arose in Weiwei's heart, and she devoted herself to practice again.

"Once or twice won't work, then a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times..." Weiwei looked at the space that exploded again. This time, she changed her mind and decided to study the power of space first, and then practice the secret realm outside the body. .

Time passed by slowly, and Weiwei was no longer obsessed with the reasons for the passing of life in the ancient and forbidden land. She stayed here for many days, and just when she was about to leave, a golden light flashed across, and the mysterious old man came again.

Weiwei's eyes widened, and she saw the old man pass by with a "swoosh", the speed was so fast, Weiwei thought he was going to rush into the ancient forbidden area, but fortunately, the old man stopped his footwork and landed steadily on the edge of the forbidden area.

This time the old man was not muttering anything. Although his eyes were cloudy, he was clearly thinking. He raised and lowered his steps several times, probably hesitating whether to go in or not.

Weiwei chased after him, and she was standing tens of meters behind the old man. She watched the old man's footsteps rise and fall, and her mood fluctuated accordingly.

Weiwei's eyes trembled, she saw the old man's footsteps about to step into the ancient forbidden land, without thinking, Weiwei rushed over by instinct, hugged the old man, and dragged him back.

Weiwei pulled the old man back, and then, Weiwei was stunned, "How could I do this? I actually grabbed the big brother," she looked at the old man cautiously in a disturbed mood.

The old man looked confused and didn't speak for a moment. He also looked at Weiwei, and the two stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

Weiwei was the first to withdraw her eyes, and after recovering, she whispered: "Senior, you can't go there!"

The old man didn't speak, he seemed to be still remembering the past, and his eyes drifted into the forbidden area again.

Weiwei quickly shouted, "Senior, senior..."

The old man turned his head to look at Weiwei and said, "Who are you?"

When Weiwei heard this question, she thought to herself, what should I say?If you make a mistake, you will not be beaten to death!She thought wildly in her mind, and finally hesitated: "Senior, don't you remember me?"

The old man thought for a moment and said, "Do I know you?"

Weiwei showed some footwork, and there was a golden light flashing under her feet, senior, don't you know this?
The old man looked at this and sighed: "I have forgotten everything, even my own name."

He is familiar with this footwork, and he guessed that the girl in front of him should be someone close to him, so he would teach it to her.

"What's your name?" asked the old man.

When Weiwei heard the old man say that he had forgotten everything, she thought about it, and said sadly: "Master, have you forgotten me? I am Weiwei!"

"I have never taken in an apprentice," the old man frowned, but he still remembered something.

Weiwei felt bad, and changed her words: "Grandpa, have you forgotten your granddaughter?"

"I have no offspring either," the old man affirmed.

Weiwei smiled greedily, and said: "Senior, I think you look similar to my grandfather, you should be my ancestor who has never met, and I should be a descendant of your family line, back then, the old ancestor rumored that he There is an older brother who went to cultivate immortality..."

"I'm an orphan," the old man said calmly, interrupting Vivi's train of thought.

Weiwei cried and mourned, thinking that you have forgotten everything, why do you still remember so many things, she can hardly make it up anymore.

"Who are you?" the old man asked again.

"Why are you preventing me from going in?"

"What's your purpose?"

After listening to these three questions, Weiwei took a step back and said seriously: "Brother, I am your half-brother and sister. You had a mental illness a year ago and you forgot too many things. I am the one who will help you cure it." Yes, now you have forgotten something, I guessed that you would come here, and I am here to wait for you."

"Brother, you can't go in, there's a big horror in there," Weiwei said seriously.

The old man's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't know if he believed Weiwei's words.

He lowered his head to think, and after a while, he said, "Let's go!"

The old man stepped on the golden light and went away in an instant.

Weiwei hurriedly followed, stepping on a small golden light, and followed closely behind the old man.

During this process, Weiwei memorized some dao patterns again. She felt that the footwork she was imitating now had already been successful three or four times by the old man.

The old man deliberately waited for Weiwei so that she could keep up with him. Finally, the two stopped outside a small town.

As soon as she landed, Weiwei heard a group of children shouting: "Look, that crazy old man is here again, let's go home quickly."

A group of children were like frightened birds, and they ran away in a while.

Seeing this scene, Weiwei cautiously turned to the old man next to her. The elder brother she just met is quite famous, and so many people know him. Could it be that he brought me here to confirm the truth of what he said?
Thinking of this, Weiwei's complexion changed slightly.

The two walked among them, and there were not many people gathered on the street. In the end, the old man stopped in front of a butcher's shop.

Then, Weiwei ate a meal of stewed pork here. The butcher seemed to know the old man and didn't take their money.

During this period, the old man didn't speak a word, Weiwei chatted a few words from time to time, but the old man didn't respond.

"Help me treat it and see if it reminds me of something," the old man said.

Weiwei was in a daze. She suddenly realized that the words were addressed to herself. She couldn't help but feel that the head and the head were two big. Such a big guy, can she do it by herself?I blame myself for talking nonsense, it's all right now, the retribution will come soon!

Although Weiwei was complaining in her heart, she said with a smile on her face: "Brother, can you remember why you went to the ancient forbidden land?"

"Every time I go there, my heart feels very painful. There should be something very important to me," the old man said with a painful expression.

Just thinking about it makes the old man heartbroken.

"Dead, all dead," Weiwei recalled what the old man said before, could it be that his relatives and friends all died there, so he often visited him, and then he couldn't accept all this, so he went crazy, often unconscious clear.

Weiwei said solemnly: "Brother, are you sure you want to remember the past? Every time you can't bear to kill your own memory, just forget it now, why bother remembering it?"

"That's just a cowardly decision made by me. These pasts together constitute me, how can I forget?" the old man said painfully.

He held his forehead, as if he was about to remember something again.

Weiwei gave a soft drink, and a power to purify the soul was transmitted to relieve the old man's pain.

"Brother, don't try to think about it, let the younger sister help you," Weiwei quickly assumed her identity, her eyes glowed slightly, and she wanted to use the power of the fairy eyes.

A soft and illusory light emanates from Weiwei's body. She recites the scriptures as if a Bodhisattva is alive. This is the "Heart Sutra of Mingwo Dao", which can help people break through the shackles and gain a glimpse of their original mind.

"Cut off the old shackles of the past, and only now will I know who I am," this is the essence of this sutra.

Weiwei's power can't help the old man, the gap in realm between them is too big, Weiwei is just a guide, so that the old man can follow his inner choice.

The soft light enveloped the two of them, Weiwei kept chanting the scriptures, the expression of the old man kept changing, and finally returned to pain.

After an unknown amount of time, a voice sounded, "Dead...all dead..."

The old man repeated these words again, and then, crying and laughing, he rushed straight to the sky and disappeared in an instant.

Weiwei was knocked to the ground by the old man's blast. As soon as she stood up, she saw the old man disappear into the sky, and she couldn't catch up even if she wanted to.

Weiwei looked at the sky helplessly, and then she looked at the chaos in the store. She arranged the tables and chairs first, so she couldn't catch up anyway.

"Don't worry, he often does this," Butcher comforted Wei Wei, who seemed to be very innocent.

"No, I'm not worried about him at all, his cultivation level is much higher than mine," Weiwei said.

"That's true," the butcher recalled: "From what my grandfather's grandfather said, this old man has been here all the time. He must be a very strong man after living for so long."

When Weiwei heard this, she thought to herself that this humble shop is still a hundred-year-old shop. She asked curiously: "Brother, since you know him, why don't you ask him and let him take you to practice?"

"A monk has the happiness of a monk, and a mortal also has the joy of a mortal. For a mortal like me, living his short life well is a great joy," said the butcher with a smile.

"Brother is magnificent," Weiwei praised with a thumbs up.

"Would you like to eat more, maybe he will be back soon," asked the butcher.

"No, I have something else to do, so I'll go first," Weiwei said. She wanted to leave some silver taels, but suddenly found that she no longer had these mortal things. If she left some things that monks need, it would be unnecessary of.

Weiwei flew back to the ancient forbidden land again, but there was no old man here. She waited here for a while, always feeling as if she had forgotten something.
