The situation in the crack was much better than Xu Lei expected. After squeezing along the crack for a short distance, it became wider and wider. After walking for a while, Xu Lei was surprised to find that the back of the cliff turned out to be hollow. The entire mountain was empty and dark.
It has to make people feel unreasonable fear.
"Is there anyone?" Xu Lei said something that even a fool would not say. Of course, Xu Lei was not stupid enough to think that there would be people living in this mountain. Even if there were people, they could not be human beings.
The reason why Lei said such a stupid thing was just to embolden himself.
"Yes, it's here." An old and hoarse voice came out of the empty and dark space without warning. Xu Lei shivered in fright. He took out the hatchet from his waist and looked around cautiously, but this voice
It seems a little familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere.
"Young man, don't be afraid, it's me." The hoarse old voice sounded again, and Xu Lei realized that this voice was the voice of the strange old man he met by the lake yesterday.
"Grandpa, is that you?" Xu Lei asked politely, but his tone could not conceal his trembling. The title changed from "old man" yesterday to "respected grandpa" because Xu Lei was already sure that this strange old man was
It's definitely not a human being, otherwise it would be a big weird thing to appear in the belly of this mountain.
"It's me, don't be afraid. I won't harm you. If I wanted to harm you, I would have done it yesterday." The hoarse old voice echoed in the empty space, and it was unclear which direction it was coming from.
Xu Lei calmed down, fear and curiosity began to slowly fill his brain again, and the figure of the strange old man appeared in his mind. Thinking of this, Xu Lei's fear dissipated a little, because no matter what the other party would do
There is nothing you can do to harm yourself, and since there is nothing you can do, you might as well see what happens.
"Where are you?" Xu Lei asked bravely.
"You walk fifty steps straight in front of you, and then walk thirty steps to the right, and then you will see the entrance of a cave, and I am in the cave." The old man's voice said.
Xu Lei thought for a while and walked forty steps to the right. Under the weak firelight of Huo Zhezi, he saw the entrance of the cave the old man mentioned.
"I saw the entrance of the cave." Xu Lei looked at the hole within the cave with curiosity on his face, and his original fear was swept away.
"Why don't you play your cards according to common sense? Come in!" The old man's angry voice came from the cave.
Xu Lei held up the fire folder and groped his way into the cave, but was surprised to find that the four walls of this cave within a cave were dotted with fluorescent lights. Although it did not illuminate the space inside the cave, it was quite beautiful.
"Young man, look at my hole, how beautifully decorated it is..."
Before the old man finished speaking, the fluorescence around the cave wall suddenly disappeared, because the entire cave had been illuminated by fire. As soon as Xu Lei entered the door, he lit a prepared torch and inserted it aside.
The space is not very big, and a torch is enough to illuminate the inside.
"The decoration is nothing special?" Xu Lei looked around casually and found that there was nothing special except for a few black and green vines hanging on the dark and bare cave wall. When the torch was lit, Xu Lei could already see clearly
I saw an old man sitting cross-legged in the corner.
The corner of the old man's mouth twitched slightly, "I mean... uh, okay, let's not talk about it." The old man did not explain that he was asking about the night scene in the cave just now. Faced with this guy who repeatedly acted out of common sense,
He really didn't know what to say.
"Let's get down to business." The old man looked at Xu Lei, who looked curious and without any fear, gave up the idea of scaring this guy first, and said seriously: "In order to make our next dialogue concise and concise without being clichéd,
So before we start the conversation, let me answer a few questions you want to ask later. First of all, as you have guessed in your mind now, strictly speaking, I do not belong to human beings. Secondly, the earthquake just now was indeed not me.
It's just a coincidence. Again, it's about why I'm in this mountain. It's because I've been sealed here for thousands of years..."
"Then yesterday at the lake..."
"Shut up, don't interrupt, listen to me first. Where did I say it? Oh, I said it again. Fourth, what you saw yesterday was just my soul. After I was sealed here, every hundred years I
My Yuan Shen can only go out once, and the Yuan Shen has no fighting power, and can only go out for an hour, so what I have to do is find someone to talk to, and tell me a few principles that I have learned over the past thousands of years..."
At this point, the old man suddenly paused. Looking at the guy in front of him who was acting unreasonably, he remembered that the reason he thought was loud and unpredictable yesterday was disrupted by this guy's unreasonable tactics. He couldn't help but say something at the corner of his mouth.
It was a convulsion.
"Okay, I've finished what I want to say. Now it's your turn. Just say what you want to say." The old man said, and touched the sparse goatee on his chin with satisfaction. He was sure that he just said
After saying so much, this guy should have taken the initiative to get to the point, but he once again ignored one point. The thinking of the stupid young man in front of him cannot be understood according to ordinary people's thinking.
"Oh", Xu Lei opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. The old man he wanted to ask had already answered for him. After thinking for a while, he finally said: "There is nothing more to say.
Then I'll go back first. You have a good rest here. Goodbye, oh, no, I'll see you when I have the chance." After Xu Lei finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.
"Hey, stop!" The old man had been completely defeated by the other party. He failed to realize that the guy in front of him was not only thinking jumpy, but also a fool. He had just explained his identity and could be sealed for thousands of years.
Will it be ordinary? No matter what, if ordinary people meet me, they have to find ways to get some benefits from themselves. When the time comes, I can trick the other person step by step to lift their seal. When the time comes, hehe...
"What?" Xu Lei turned his head.
"Didn't you hear what I just said that I am not a human being and have been sealed here for thousands of years?" The old man seemed a little angry. If it weren't for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to lift the seal, with his temper, this person in front of him would
Leng Tou Qing has been wiped out long ago. Before he was sealed, who would have dared to treat him like this? Even the old guys from the All Souls Holy Sect were not polite when they saw him.
"I heard you. Is there any problem?" Xu Lei was puzzled.
"I am a nine-star demon king. I was trapped in a trap thousands of years ago and was sealed here. Don't you want to say something to me?"
Xu Lei was stunned for a moment, "Oh, hello, Monster, I'm going back first." After saying that, Xu Lei was about to leave again.
The old man was completely speechless, and had no choice but to wave his hands and give up the original plan, and sighed: "As long as you do a trivial thing for me that is extremely simple and innocuous to you, I can grant you three wishes, as long as you ask for it
I will definitely do it.”
When the old man said this, he had tried his best to suppress his anger, because this opportunity was too difficult. After being sealed here, he finally waited until the first earthquake cracked the cliff, and the power of the seal was reduced by half.
, now as long as he can eat the three demon fruits in the cave and restore his original demon soul, he can break through the seal and escape to heaven.
Those three demon fruits were planted by him when he was sealed here thousands of years ago and used all his demon soul power at the last moment to prevent his demon soul from being scattered by those who sealed him.
, from the seeds to the growth of these three demon fruits, it has been growing for thousands of years until now, and finally reached maturity, but he found that in his panic, he had planted the demon fruits a little further away, and
His immobile body is always out of reach, and now a stunned young man just comes in. For him, it is a unique opportunity that will never be found, so even if the other party spits on him at this moment, he will suppress his anger.
Xu Lei thought for a while and felt that everything was a bit mysterious, and then asked doubtfully: "You said you are the Nine-Star Demon King, do you have any evidence?" Xu Lei was a little doubtful about the old man's identity. He just heard the old man's explanation
The reason why he wasn't too surprised by his identity was because he didn't believe it at all. After all, the Nine-Star Demon King only existed in stories to him.
The old man suddenly smiled strangely, and then his whole body suddenly twisted into a burst of solid black light, and a snake-shaped monster faintly appeared.
Xu Lei's mouth widened in shock, and now he was convinced that the person facing him was a nine-star demon king, because only demon beasts that have reached nine stars can transform into human form.
Seeing Xu Lei's surprised look, the old man who had regained his human form finally showed a proud and gratified smile. He secretly thought to himself that he should know where I am now. I was so scared. But what Xu Lei said next
He almost couldn't help but curse!
"Black-necked snake demon?" Xu Lei exclaimed.
"Fart!" the old man finally cursed, "What black-necked snake demon? Have you ever seen snakes that can cultivate to nine stars? I am a proud dragon, a nine-star demon dragon, but my skin is a little bit darker.
!”
"Then why are you so young?" Xu Lei asked doubtfully.
The old man said angrily: "Dragons can be big or small, and look at this broken place. If I don't make myself mini-cute, not to mention this hole, even the entire belly of the mountain won't be able to accommodate me.
Body!”
"Oh." Xu Lei nodded in understanding, "You just said you wanted to fulfill my three wishes?"
The old man was stunned, and his angry expression instantly turned into a charming and kind smile. He narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Yes, you are lucky to be my destined person. You know how lucky you are.
What an honor.”
Xu Lei felt that these three wishes sounded familiar to him. Then he vaguely remembered that before he came to this world, he lived on a blue planet called Earth. He seemed to have read similar stories in fairy tale books somewhere.
story.
Xu Lei shook his head vigorously, no longer thinking about these vague memories, and said, "Then what do you need me to do for you?"
The old man looked up and said, "Did you see it? There is a vine hanging above me, with three ordinary fruits on it. I can see and eat it here every day. It makes me feel so uncomfortable. These three fruits
I have seen ordinary fruits for thousands of years, and I really want to taste what they taste like. If you can help me pick those three ordinary fruits and let me eat them often, I will be able to satisfy you without eating any of them.
A wish.”
"Is it that simple?" Xu Lei followed the old man's gaze and saw a black-green vine hanging from the top of the cave. Three egg-sized fruits hung from the end of the vine. The color was so bright that it was almost eerie. Even Xu Lei looked at it.
