Ancient Wu Xianzun

Chapter 3 Stone Carving
Flame Monkey opened the package, revealing the items inside. It was a palm-sized black stone sculpture, shaped like a lotus flower, in the darkness, there were occasional flashes of brilliance, which was magnificent.

Lei Hao's dark eyes were a little fiery.When looking at the lotus stone sculpture, his throat rolled slightly, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, obviously shocked by the small lotus stone sculpture in front of him.

Lei Hao didn't know what the object in Yanhou's hand was, but he could faintly sense that this lotus flower stone carving was absolutely extraordinary.

As if aware of Lei Hao's shock, Flame Monkey's sly eyes showed a hint of satisfaction, and immediately he took out the lotus stone carving seemingly casually, and threw it at Lei Hao seemingly casually.

Lei Hao quickly reached out to catch it, and with a look of reproach in his pitch-black eyes, he glanced at the smug Flame Monkey, then turned his gaze back to look at the stone sculpture in his hand.

As they got closer, Lei Hao finally saw clearly that the stone carving was octagonal, like eight lotus petals, and in the center of the petals gathered was a small cylinder like a futon.

On the eight-petaled lotus, strangely shaped runes were branded one after another, and bursts of warmth and coolness emanated from them.

"This thing is definitely not ordinary, but I don't know how to use it? Do you want to recognize the owner with a drop of blood?"

Lei Hao muttered to himself, he had seen from some classics that among the southern tribes, some strange monks cultivated weapons, and they would carry some treasures on their bodies, and if they needed to use them, the most important thing was to drop them. Blood, in order to control its use after it recognizes the master.

Lei Hao bit his index finger lightly, and Yin Hong's blood seeped out. He carefully dripped the blood on the stone carving, and then, with a look of expectation in his dark eyes, he stared closely at The stone carving, in order to have a little reaction.

To Lei Hao's disappointment, until half a stick of incense had passed, the dark lotus stone sculpture did not even show any abnormalities.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, he rubbed his somewhat swollen eyes. Obviously, the so-called recognition of the Lord with blood has failed.

"Could it be that this lotus stone carving is just exquisitely shaped, not a treasure?"

Lei Hao still didn't give up, and then, under the dull eyes of the Flame Monkey, he used all kinds of methods, even knelt down on the ground, chanting words in his mouth, hoping for a miracle to happen.

In a blink of an eye, an hour passed, Lei Hao sat weakly on the grass, holding the lotus stone sculpture in his hand, looking around, after a while, he finally shook his head with a wry smile.

"It's because I was too impatient. Those who are destined for treasures can get their subtleties, but I am in a hurry to go to the doctor. Perhaps, this lotus stone carving was originally a display object in a big family's mansion, and it was handed over by the Flaming Monkey. Fetched."

"call."

He opened his mouth and exhaled the turbid air that was pent up in his chest. Lei Hao flipped his palm over and grabbed the lotus stone sculpture, then handed it to the Flame Monkey sitting cross-legged beside him.

"Squeak..."

Flame Monkey rolled his eyes, took the stone sculpture, turned it left and right, pretending to be looking at it, the monkey's eyes occasionally glanced at Lei Hao next to him, showing annoyance, apparently also looking at Lei Hao facing the stone sculpture, this time There was no longer much excitement.

In the end, Yanhou squeaked helplessly, and threw the stone sculpture back to Lei Hao like throwing trash.

"Since you don't want it, I'll keep it."

Lei Hao casually held it in his hand, lightly touched the black bracelet on his wrist, and the stone carving disappeared strangely. Obviously, the bracelet was a treasure of storage.

"mother."

Stretching out his hand to touch the dark bracelet, Lei Hao's eyes showed a look of reminiscence. This bracelet was worn by Lei Hao's mother on his wrist when he was born, and it was the only one left by her mother. A Gift.

Lei Hao's eyes showed sadness, he couldn't even remember his mother's appearance, and every time he thought of his mother, he would stare at the bracelet in a daze.

"Ugh."

Gently shaking his head, Lei Hao lay down slowly, looking through the thick branches and leaves, the sky was blue at this time, a round of scorching sun was hanging, and white clouds were floating.

"Flame Monkey, if one day I leave Lei's house, will you go with me?"

Lei Hao measured his body and looked at the Flame Monkey. At this moment, the latter stretched out his paw and scratched his head. A trace of confusion flashed across the monkey's eyes. Then, he stretched out his long forelimb and patted Lei Hao's chest. , and patted his chest again, and then the two front paws embraced Lei Hao's arm, making a creaking sound.

Seeing the movement of the Yanhou who was watching, Lei Hao smiled knowingly. Although the Yanhou could not speak, his mind was not low. Lei Hao's words, or through his expression, or other reasons Can understand.

"Squeak."

Seeing Lei Hao's smile, Flame Monkey also grinned, as if it could only be happy if Lei Hao was happy here. Then, he stretched out his paws, rubbed his stomach lightly, and then pulled Lei Hao's body to sit up.

"I was still laughing at me just now, let's go, we haven't been there for a long time."

The Flaming Monkey grinned excitedly, showing its white teeth, jumping up and down on the ground, obviously it knew what Lei Hao said.

Lei Hao stood up, took a light breath, hid the sadness in his heart, and immediately walked towards a place of dense fog on the periphery of the flat ground. The Flaming Monkey jumped up and stood firmly on its hind legs On Lei Hao's shoulders, his claws gently grabbed Lei Hao's long hair, and his movements were smooth and smooth, without any panic and procrastination, which was obviously the case often.

"You monkey...hehe."

One person, one monkey, soon arrived at the dense fog. Lei Hao pondered for a moment, as if he was identifying the traces. Then, he raised his footsteps, took a step forward, and walked slowly forward, his figure fluctuating from left to right. , even amidst the chirping of the Flaming Monkey, it seemed to be a reminder.

"call."

Finally, Lei Hao stopped after taking 36 steps. He looked at the familiar hole in front of him, exhaled lightly, and then stepped in.

This is a valley surrounded by thick fog. It is shaped like a gourd and is almost surrounded by mountains. It is narrow and surrounded by mist, but even so, the light in the valley is still extremely sufficient.

The mist in the valley is dense, and the mountain on the left is as smooth as a mirror. The white light refracted through the light above illuminates the valley like daytime.

On the right side of the entrance, a silver-colored waterfall rushed down from the end of the line of sight above, and fell into a lake below.

The mountain wall in front is covered with brown vines, with finger-sized flowers swaying on it. Not far from it, there is a burst of fruity fragrance. Obviously, there should be some wild fruit trees there.

And this kind of scene, if there are some small animals with life, it is called a fairyland on earth, I am afraid it is not an exaggeration.

The Flame Monkey on the shoulders had already sprinted down, and within a few steps it reached the side of the vine in front. The two front paws deftly pushed the climbing vine away, revealing a hole the size of a millstone. The Flame Monkey moved Very quickly, the small body entered in a flash.

Lei Hao stretched out his arms, feeling the waves of comfort coming from his body, he couldn't help being shaken, only when he got here, could he no longer be as indifferent as he pretended to be.

"In the future, I will find my father and mother, come back here, and take the Flame Monkey to live here in seclusion. The family will be reunited, and there will be no more enmity among the clan, and no more intrigues. How wonderful it is."

There was a trace of longing in the dark eyes, but a bitterness appeared on the corner of Lei Hao's mouth.

Ever since he had memories, his world has no mother. He still remembers that when his father Lei Xiao was still in the family, the young Lei Hao often asked about the whereabouts of his mother. At that time, those who could answer Lei Hao, Only the father's eyes concealed a touch of pain.

And every time this happened, the young Lei Hao would gently hug Lei Xiao's arm and remain silent.

"Perhaps my father didn't disappear mysteriously, but went to find my mother. I don't know, but why... didn't take me with me. Could it be that the place where my father went to find my mother was dangerous, so he kept me here?"

A low voice like a whisper resounded in Lei Hao's heart.He shook his head, Lei Yao's hateful eyes suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

"Now the second uncle in the family is in full swing, and the second grandfather died suddenly before his father disappeared, and the second uncle Leibao was also brutally besieged. Although he was seriously injured, although his life was not harmed, his cultivation was completely destroyed. "

"This matter is quite strange. My father kept a low profile all his life. If it wasn't for the great changes in the family that year, I am afraid that he would not have turned out to be born. The second uncle's lineage pushed all of his misfortunes to his father, because the injury on his body was caused by Ben Lei. injured hand."

"And this Thunderbolt Hand is the only nine-rank martial art of the Lei family. However, over the years, only two people in the family have cultivated it to the level of great accomplishment. One is Uncle Lei Sheng, and the other is Father Lei Xiao."

"Uncle Leisheng is quite steady and friendly, and he is very popular in the family. After his father disappeared, most of the people in the clan looked at him coldly. The second uncle's lineage is even more oppressive, but the uncle is still the same as before. Take great care of yourself.”

Lei Hao shook his head, tried his best to get rid of all kinds of distracting thoughts, and looked at the hole behind the vines. At this time, Flame Monkey squeezed out of it and rushed over, holding a jar of wine and a package in his hand , apparently taken from this hole.

"The ice in this cave does not melt all year round, and the temperature inside is extremely low. Last time I only stayed in it for a stick of incense, my hands and feet were almost frozen from the cold. However, this has become a storage house for the Flame Monkey."

Looking at the various wild fruits and the big jar of wine that were displayed within a few breaths, Lei Hao couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

"You monkey, I don't know where you got all these things."

Lei Hao picked up a wild fruit, took a bite, it was slightly sour, but in the sourness, there was an indescribable sweetness, but this bite seemed to be able to produce body fluids and quench thirst.

"Squeak."

Flame Monkey seemed dissatisfied, picked up a wild fruit and threw it at Lei Hao, then pointed to the wine jar, then pointed to a stone bowl the size of a fist in front of him, and squeaked.

"If you fail to enter the top three in this competition, you will be expelled from the direct line, and then enter the family branch to manage the family's property. In this life, you will have no intersection with martial arts."

"And my wish is to find my father first, and then find my mother's whereabouts. All of these, in a world where the strong are respected, must be based on strength."

Looking at the Flame Monkey, Lei Hao murmured in a low voice, he slapped away the mud print on the wine jar, and under the proud gaze of the Flame Monkey, he spoke again slowly.

"If I can't enter the Leilin Bieyuan this time, then I will leave the Lei family, break away from the shackles of this clan, and seek my own way. Even if I die in a foreign land, it will be better than dying alone and depressed in this life."

Feeling enlightened, Lei Hao raised the stone bowl and drank the wine in one gulp. Feeling the momentary coldness passing through his throat, it turned into a hot current flowing in his chest in an instant, he chuckled lightly.

"Since that's the case, Flame Monkey, today you and I... get drunk."
