Chapter 218 There is a fool in the mountain, who wants to be in the same situation
The only surviving ancestor of the Great Yan Dynasty's royal family, his surname was Yan and his name was Yu. He had average talent, average comprehension, and didn't like practicing. However, with the help of the Great Yan Dynasty's resources, he barely made it to the realm of refining emptiness.
After that, his cultivation progress remained stagnant.
now.
The old man, who was already very old and frail, was wearing a relatively clean blue shirt. He stood in the classroom of the private school. The seats below the hall were empty. Someone had committed a crime in the street today, and all the villagers had fled, including the children.
Yes.
The old scholar at the west entrance of Yanjia Village is the ancestor of the Yan family, Yan Yu.
He was hunched over and rotten from the inside out.
He looked at Li Changxiao who was coming with a sword in his hand, his deep eye sockets were filled with indifference, as if he had expected it.
Li Changxiao once picked up a Nine-Dragon Tripod in the river north of Yanjia Village.
There was a strange mark on the ear of the tripod. Later, after talking with the old scholar, I confirmed that the word was "Yan".
After that, he often went to this school and listened to his lectures. At first, he felt that this was a man of great knowledge, and it was a pity that the children in the class did not know the value of knowledge and wasted their time.
Later I felt that this was reasonable.
On the contrary, this old scholar is the dumbest person in the village.
Without the temptation of fame, wealth or status, you want to teach and impart great principles in this three-inch piece of yellow mud. If this is not stupidity, what is it?
In contrast.
The girls in Zhaozi Tower are much more aware of the current situation.
after that…
Li Changxiao felt a sense of despair and helplessness from this "stupidity".
The old scholar suddenly spoke:
"The Great Yan Dynasty has stood for more than 15,000 years. It has gone through many ups and downs, and has overcome many obstacles. But there is one thing that I still remember vividly.
"I remember a place that, for some reason, became barren and barren, with no grass growing. The people had no harvest for three years, and starving people were everywhere. When I was young, I didn't like to practice cultivation. I loved to look at the mountains and rivers and the myriad things in the world."
"I traveled here and was shocked to see this scene. People traded their children for food just to survive."
"It's very similar to today." The old scholar sighed, "Isn't there a famine now?"
Li Changxiao nodded. The old man standing in front of him was the founder of the "Eating Children to Survive" doctrine.
But the opponent had no intention of fighting. Li Changxiao could feel that he was already old. Perhaps that was why he had a lot to say.
Li Changxiao was very calm. He was now at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and had more than 2,700 Buddhist sounds on his body. If he used all of them, in this situation where spiritual energy was exhausted and there was no resonance between the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the realm gap was narrowing, even the Void Refining stage would be hindered a little.
And then just run away.
Therefore, he listened calmly without disturbing others.
The old scholar continued, "Later, the Great Yan Dynasty was destroyed, and the imperial aura of the Great Yan Dynasty was swallowed up, and those that could not be swallowed up were sealed in this place. The terrain here is special and there is no way in or out.
The surviving branch of my clan has lived here for a long time. We heard news from the outside world that the Lingtian Dynasty unified the whole continent and issued a general amnesty. We also heard news that a prince was banished 30,000 miles away. So, despite suffering an incurable injury, I sent Yan Qingtian and Yan Chengfeng out of here.
Purpose 1: To humiliate the demoted prince and take revenge on the Lingtian Dynasty. Although I know that this action will not hurt Li Shanhe at all and that the prince is just an insignificant little character, we are filled with anger and will not miss any opportunity for revenge.
Purpose 2: Send Yan Qingtian and Yan Chengfeng out of this place, hoping that they can emerge from their hiding place."
"But they disappointed me. They were geniuses, but only geniuses. One day... they returned to this mountain and brought back a message. A certain force outside promised that if my lineage could remove the mountain that besieged this place and connect to the outside world, they would help us restore our country."
Li Changxiao understood what was said. The twists and turns in this matter were beyond his reach.
The old scholar continued, "So, my lineage began a long journey of 'digging the mountain'. At that time, the spiritual energy had not yet dried up. Digging the mountain required digging the mountain roots and getting rid of mountain beasts. In addition, the mountains here are special and connected. If you want to force it, it is simply a fool's dream. Otherwise, I would not be trapped here."
"If you want to clear the mountain and make a road, you have to do it one shovel at a time with human power. I will raise my descendants and clear the mountain day by day."
"The reason why the road to the north entrance is relatively flat is because I once led my descendants to shovel the road all the way. When we reached Lianhe Mountain... the spiritual energy was exhausted."
"The great power that once promised me could not protect itself. There was no hope for us to restore our country. I was completely depressed, but the matter of clearing the mountain had become a knot in my heart. Even though the spiritual energy was exhausted at that time, by chance, I found a special path that could leave this place. Even if it was covered by the mountains, I could leave easily, and there was more than one way. But I dreamed of clearing away the mountains in the north and opening up a road."
"After being depressed for a while, I went crazy. Holding the Nine Dragon Cauldron, I blew up nearly a hundred mountains until my spiritual energy was lost and my old injuries relapsed..."
"I want to see the day when the North Road is paved, so I can't die. I start to lie dormant. I teach the younger generations in my clan, and let them work tirelessly to paved the mountain. I tell them that the outside world is very exciting."
"But these unfilial descendants have forgotten their original intentions, and are content with pleasure, wasting their time on clearing the mountains. They are no different from trash... It would be better to use such trash to prolong my life."
"So... I left this place through the secret path and attended the Ten Thousand Immortals Summit many times. The scenes of my travels when I was young appeared in my mind, and I invented this method... 'Eating Children to Live Longer'."
"My initial attempt... I succeeded. My body became younger. I laughed out loud and thought I was immortal. I took a hoe and went to shovel the mountain."
"My descendants will be endless, and I too will live forever."
"They are lazy and idle... But I am different. No matter how many mountains there are or how high they are, what does it matter if I am the only one there? One day, I will flatten them!"
"But I was wrong again."
"I can't live forever... I found that I couldn't give birth. I changed women again and again, but... no one could give birth to my offspring. Eating children can make me immortal... Only biological children can be useful, and I... fell into despair again."
"I watched myself getting older day by day, gradually unable to lift a hoe, and I was...completely hopeless. I knew that my death was approaching, but my wish was not fulfilled."
"I started teaching and educating people, and I walked the old path again. I hope that my descendants can pick up the hoe again and uproot the mountain that is blocking their way..."
"That is the shame that has trapped my Yan clan, and the hatred that has been branded into my blood."
"How sad! No matter how I teach them, they are just like wooden blocks, lazy and careless... Generation after generation, they are still like this..."
"waste!"
Speaking of which.
Yan Yu's expression began to twist.
He hated his own race, and that brought us back to square one.
He also hated his younger self, who was equally sloppy and lazy. A powerful cultivator could pluck stars with his hands and cover the sea with a flip of his palm, but he... couldn't even get through a mountain road. Even if it was inseparable from the long-term injury, it was ultimately because he was too weak and was forced to rely on elixirs and resources.
Yan Yu looked at Li Changxiao and suddenly said with a smile: "Next...it's your turn to taste me."
Say it.
His spiritual energy dissipated, and his body and soul were actually destroyed.
Yan Yu began to dissipate. When he was dying, he burst out with his power, but he did not attack Li Changxiao. Instead, he attracted the mountain to cover him, exposing Li Changxiao, the "slippery fish" who had entered through the small path, to the strange mountain terrain.
After this action, Yan Yu completely disappeared, and along with him, the secret path to leave this place also disappeared!
Yan Yu wanted to drag Li Changxiao into the same situation as him.
