Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

Chapter 309 Stone statues, legends, sacrifices

Looking from a distance, it looks like a pale silver world, with a Taoist man in green sitting cross-legged among the ruins.

It is in sharp contrast to the dark and hazy misty world in the distance.

Standing in front of Luo Yan, Old Ancestor Chen stretched out his hand and took a ray of silver light rain, feeling a tingling sensation on his fingertips.

And there was also a sense of electric shock in his soul.

Although it is very weak, it can even be said to be inconspicuous.

But this is already amazing.

After all, he is a monk in the transformation stage, and the gap between the two is as vast as clouds and mud.

The smile on Old Ancestor Chen's face became even brighter, and he thought secretly with a kind of admiration.

"This little guy's understanding is really terrifying. Just tell him the principles of Yin Thunder, and in a very short period of time, he will understand the true meaning of thunder."

"The veteran is suddenly very curious about how far this little guy with such a terrifying gift of understanding can go in the future."

Old Ancestor Chen's eyes that had experienced the vicissitudes of life flickered slightly, as if he had thought of something.

Such a junior with astonishing understanding actually lacks a lot of common sense knowledge.

Just like the theory of the opposition of yin and yang, no one can understand it as long as the monks who have reached the level of Nascent Soul stage.

If there is a sect elder behind this young man in green to give guidance, it is impossible for him who can understand the true meaning of Yang's Thunder to not know the concept of the opposition of Yin and Yang.

The opposition of yin and yang never only refers to one aspect.

Many magical powers, and even all things in the world, can be described by this concept.

However, the appearance of this little guy was actually the first time he learned about it.

This is very telling.

Either this young man in green is not valued enough by the senior officials in that sect.

Either someone wants to deliberately hide his existence and prevent him from knowing more.

No matter which possibility it is, it shows that this junior in green is probably not taken too seriously by the elders of his sect.

Thinking of this, Old Ancestor Chen's eyes began to look playful.

"It seems that as a child, I am not valued enough in the sect."

"If one day, when you know about the so-called battle of geniuses, apart from personal strength, there is something else in it."

"What decision will you make at that time?"

Old Ancestor Chen's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, as if his thoughts had drifted to more than ten years later.

The more amazing the intelligence and talent shown by this junior in green, the more satisfied he was.

"perhaps."

"You might be the true successor of my Thunder Emperor Guan."

At this moment, a certain idea in Chen Laozu's mind became more and more obvious.

The eyes he looked at the young man in green gradually became kinder.

As far as Old Ancestor Chen is concerned, the people of that sect pay less attention to his Taoist boy.

The more likely it is that this little guy will inherit the Thunder Emperor's concept in the future.

As long as the young man in green's goal is to get a place in the upper world, he will definitely have conflicts with those people.

Thinking about this, Old Ancestor Chen suddenly felt a little looking forward to the battle for the upper realm quota in more than ten years.

When Luo Yan woke up from the performance, he happened to meet Old Ancestor Chen's kind eyes.

He hurriedly saluted:

"Disciple thanks the ancestor for teaching the Dharma."

Old Ancestor Chen stretched out his hand to support him and said with a kind smile:

"You don't need to be so polite. You are my Taoist boy. It's only right for the old man to give you some advice."

"It seems that you have realized something. From now on, you just need to practice diligently and try to figure it out."

"After you understand the true meaning of Yang Thunder, your subsequent practice will be much simpler."

Ancestor Chen made some comments on Luo Yan's previous acting, and then continued:

"Come with me!"

Old Ancestor Chen crossed the broken walls and ruins that could be seen everywhere, and walked forward slowly like an ordinary old man.

The sound of footsteps on gravel has a frosted texture.

Slightly harsh.

Luo Yan immediately and sensibly followed Chen Laozu, halfway up the body.

Not long after, they came to the tall stone statue.

Although the face of the stone statue is blurry, there is always a domineering aura permeating it, which is amazing.

But when I looked carefully, I saw nothing.

It seemed like an ordinary stone statue.

"Although this Chenyang Mirage Palace is in ruins everywhere, it seems that the ground is deserted and there is nothing."

"actually not!"

"This is an excellent place for me as a practitioner of the Thunder Method."

Luo Yan followed Old Ancestor Chen's gaze and focused his attention on the stone statue.

But after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see anything unusual.

It seems like a stone sculpture that can be seen everywhere.

Ordinary and unremarkable.

"But if you want to come to this different space crack, even if ordinary people have the heart, they can't get in here."

"After all, it is a place that is involved in ancient rumors. If there were no god transformation overhauls like us to lead the way, even the Nascent Soul stage monks would never be able to find this space crack."

"The entire Chenyang Mirage Palace is very large, and the area shrouded in fog is very wide. No one can tell how big it is here."

"Deeper places, even an experienced person like me would not dare to break in easily."

"It just so happens that I discovered this place by chance while searching for an answer."

When Chen Laozu was telling Luo Yan about the weirdness of this different space.

It is also conveying a fact.

That is, regardless of his cultivation level, he has reached the top of this small world.

But there are still many places that are absolutely forbidden areas, and even monks in the transformation stage cannot break into them.

There are many secrets hidden in this world, and anything with mystery should never be underestimated.

"It is said that this place is connected to the underworld in the immortal world. The old Taoist people don't believe it."

"It wasn't until I met this stone statue that the old Taoist began to doubt the authenticity of the rumor for the first time."

"In short, borrowing this stone statue will be of great help to your Yin Thunder practice."

"We have to stay here for the rest of the time."

Old Ancestor Chen wants to use the special ability of this stone statue to train the young man in blue to a deeper level of Yin Thunder.

For a person who has reached his level of cultivation, his subsequent cultivation mainly involves dealing with the principles of the world.

That's why I was able to realize that the understanding of the little guy in front of me was valuable.

As long as this level of understanding remains unchanged, this little guy's future path of spiritual practice will be smoother than most people's.

Under Luo Yan's gaze, Old Ancestor Chen took out many black jade guides from the cracks in the void.

There are also many shadows of strange beasts inside.

Luo Yan's mind was slightly shaken, knowing that it contained the soul of a monster.

Except for the souls of those strange beasts, the other part of the souls in the Jade Gui actually belong to human monks.

Luo Yan knew this when he was in Yong'an City.

The soul of a living being is a consumable on many occasions.

are goods that can be considered equivalent to commodities.

At first glance, it seems cruel.

But for people in the cultivation world, this is a completely normal operation.

When you embark on such a path, it is normal to compete with heaven and people!

No one can complain.

"The souls of these creatures are the sacrifices that activate this stone statue. Only if you feed them temporarily, will they assimilate you." "Otherwise, it will be easy for your consciousness to enter the stone statue, but it will be difficult to get out."

Old Ancestor Chen briefly explained the reasons why souls should be used.

When he put all the dozen jade pieces in his hand into the stone statue.

At this time, the stone statue also began to have obvious changes, and a faint layer of black smoke appeared on the surface of the stone statue.

These black smokes have a dreamlike feeling, very hazy, but unreal.

Not long after, there were even bursts of weird laughter coming from the black smoke.

People unconsciously get lost in the laughter.

Patriarch Chen simply took action in time and activated a thick curtain of light to isolate the two of them.

Luo Yan was not affected by that weird laughter.

As the black mist spread more and more, the laughter began to disappear.

This time it became a speaking voice.

There seemed to be many unknown creatures whispering, like gods singing softly in the ears.

It makes people sink in unconsciously.

"We practitioners seize the blessings of the sun and moon, and enjoy the morning light of heaven and earth."

"So from a certain point of view, the higher our cultivation level as practitioners, the greater the gap between us and secular people."

"This gap not only refers to the level of cultivation, but also the origin of the soul."

"In a popular sense, a monk absorbs spiritual energy and swallows many precious medicines, and has long since unknowingly turned himself into a humanoid creature with 'spiritual energy'."

“Since it has a ‘spirit’, it can be reused.”

"This is the meaning of the appearance of these souls!"

Perhaps waiting for the stone statue to wake up completely and still having some free time, Old Ancestor Chen talked about the origin of the soul.

He wanted to take this opportunity to tell the junior in front of him.

Practicing a spiritual path is very dangerous.

If you are not careful, you will die.

Moreover, once a monk dies, there is a clear difference between ashes returning to ashes and earth returning to earth as a mortal.

In the eyes of many evil cultivators, a monk's soul, blood, body, etc. are all valuable things.

It only needs simple processing, and it can be eaten or traded.

However, most of these things involving the soul and body require supporting techniques to absorb.

Not many people in the spiritual world take this path.

Most of them are magic monks.

Because the monk's soul contains many memories of his lifetime.

If others swallow it accidentally, they will inevitably be affected by those memories.

It can range from mental confusion to being confused all day long.

In severe cases, the person becomes obsessed and never wakes up again.

Therefore, directly devouring the souls of living beings is often accompanied by great risks.

"Stand up, sink your consciousness, and connect with Him in the stone statue."

"Remember, no matter what happens, don't forget the thunder method I taught you before!"

"That place is very special. You can only use the thunder of Yin."

Luo Yan naturally understood Old Ancestor Chen's patient explanation.

Things like souls may seem cruel, but in fact they have an inevitable meaning for their existence.

When he was in Yong'an City, Luo Yan had long been used to it, so just face it.

I won't take it too seriously.

He has never been the kind of person who is pedantic and inflexible.

When Luo Yan followed his ancestor's words and sank his consciousness into this stone statue.

Suddenly, wisps of light bloomed on the stone statue, which looked extremely magical.

The originally blurry face turned into what Luo Yan looked like at this time.

The vivid gestures send chills down the spine.

'Om! '

It was like raindrops falling into the lake, the foam bursting, and a crisp sound filled Luo Yan's ears.

His eyes suddenly turned dark.

The screen changed, waiting for him to wake up again.

At this time, Luo Yan discovered that he seemed to have followed the great power in the stone statue and came to a strange place.

He seemed to have become an invisible thing, and no one else could see him except himself.

"What is this place?"

"Why does it look exactly like a secular place?"

Luo Yan looked at this place carefully.

Ahead is a dock. The river is gentle and there are many boats parked there.

There is also a tall city wall made of dirt beside the river bank.

"Wow!"

A corpse that was soaked white and looked like a giant was washed to the dock by the river.

The corpse was dressed in a white brocade lining, with disheveled hair and face down, making it hard to see clearly.

Even if it is a boy or a girl, it is especially obvious.

Then he was bumped into an exquisitely carved boat, and someone immediately discovered him.

"Damn, it's really unlucky. Some dead guy bumped into the boat. It's really unlucky."

The people on the boat were cursing.

The moment he saw the corpse, the man in charge immediately covered his mouth in disgust.

Unlucky people who drown often appear in this river, so the people on the boat behave normally.

"Quick, quick, two of you, go and push this water ghost somewhere else. Don't dirty the eyes of the gentlemen on the boat."

A man in coarse linen clothes found some long wooden and bamboo poles and tried to push the body away.

But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't push it away, as if the body was directly embedded in the stern of the boat.

"Two losers, what are you doing standing around?"

"If it can't be pushed, just jump down and pick it up for me. Do you want me to go down and handle it myself?"

"What a waste. He doesn't even have this bit of vision."

The man in charge took out a piece of coarse cloth and covered his mouth, then retreated to the center of the boat.

For a moment, the shouting and cursing became even louder.

'thump! ’

Two figures jumped from the boat instantly, and then made a big splash.

There was no movement for a long time.

When the man in charge got impatient with waiting on the boat, he walked to the stern again, ready to give a few words of encouragement.

He cast his eyes on the water, his pupils trembled, and his Adam's apple subconsciously 'gurgled'.

His whole face turned pale in an instant, and the coarse cloth in his hand was blown by the wind and floated away without being noticed.

He muttered the words: "Ghosts, there are ghosts."

"There's a ghost in the water!"

The man in charge yelled, then rolled and crawled out of the boat.

At this time, at the stern of the painting boat, there were two more bodies floating on the water with their heads down.
