Volume 1 In the World Chapter 8: The Strange Stone
Xiao He only felt that the scenery in front of him was beautiful and picturesque, and he was entranced for a moment. However, the crane seemed to have discovered his presence and became nervous for a moment.
Xiao He was afraid of frightening these extraordinary birds, so he tried to pile the eight-colored grains separately in an open space, and then watched from a distance. Seeing the familiar food, the crane relaxed a little and made sure that Xiao He was at a safe distance.
I sniffed the food cautiously, and then ate it cautiously.
The food that Xiao He piled up for the first time was not much, and the eight cranes finished it quickly. They all looked at Xiao He with their heads tilted.
However, Xiao He tried to take a few steps, and the crane took a few steps back. This time, after Xiao He piled up the food, he tried to stand at a safe distance and watched them carefully. The crane obviously still had some scruples, and flew away again and again.
I quit twice, but still tried cautiously and started eating bit by bit.
Xiao He squatted on the ground and looked at the cranes that were lowering their heads to eat. He felt a sense of satisfaction. He seemed to be willing to share the grains for them every day. These eight cranes are really special. Each one has its own choice.
A grain pile only eats a fixed color.
After observing for a long time, Xiao He discovered that these eight cranes with feathers as white as snow are really different. The size, shape, color, and length of the cinnabar on their heads are all different, just like humans, although they all have different feathers.
Their facial features and appearance were completely different. After going back and forth for several days, these cranes were no longer hostile to Xiao He, and they could already dance around Xiao He when eating.
Xiao He also gave each of these cranes names, and would say goodbye to them one by one when he left every day. These cranes could not speak, but they were understanding of people. Every time Xiao He called his name, they would chirp in response, although they did not know what was coming from Xiao He's mouth.
It means, but he can understand that it is his code name, just like a pet.
On this day, Xiao He once again said goodbye to these cranes one by one. He shouted: "Cuihua! Shufen! Laigui! Erga!"
Hearing the words, the cranes all chirped in response. Xiao He continued to shout: "Fat Ya, make the country strong and build an army. I am about to start a new trial arranged by the master. You take care of yourselves. I have left food for you."
, if you are hungry, just catch fish and eat it yourself, bye!"
After saying goodbye, Xiao He went back to look for the demon. As usual, the demon had a new explanation.
When Xiao He returned, the demon was indeed waiting for him.
Looking at the mad demon who was concentrating with his eyes closed, Xiao He asked: "Master, what are your plans for today?"
Hearing Xiao He speak, the madman opened his eyes and said, "Follow me."
Xiao He, who was familiar with the character of Epilepsy, had already been mentally prepared. He set up the Dragon Valley Sword and followed behind Epilepsy calmly. The two of them flew not far, one after the other, and arrived at the edge of the cold mountain and black forest. Xiao He followed
The crazy figure stepped off the flying sword and fell to the ground.
"This is it!" the demon said.
In front of the two of them, there was a huge Stonehenge. Each stone was nearly ten meters high and two meters wide. They were arranged very regularly in a concentric circle. The Stonehenge was dozens of meters in diameter and there was no greenery at all.
Yes, it is the loess all over the sky. If you look more carefully, you will find that this concentric circular stone formation has a main axis, arranged along the path of the sun rising to setting, giving it a very ancient and mysterious feeling.
Coming at you.
Xiao He was very shocked. Looking at the Stonehenge in front of him, he felt like he was in an ancient battlefield.
He asked: "Master, this Stonehenge must be very mysterious, right? Can you tell me the story of this Stonehenge back then?"
The epiphany paused, swallowed, and said, "I don't know either."
The demon said so calmly, but Xiao He had a dark look on his face.
"When I first came here, these Stonehenges were here." Madman spoke again.
"It seems to be man-made." Xiao He said to himself, then turned to the demon and asked: "Master, you brought me here because you must have wanted to teach me how to break the magic circle!"
The madman spoke again: "No?"
"Then what does Master mean?"
"You carve these huge rocks into a human being," said the demon.
"who?"
"I."
Looking at the expressionless Madman, Xiao He said with a grimace: "No, Master, can you change someone else? Or carve someone out randomly?"
"No!" Epileptic Demon categorically denied Xiao He, "I asked you to carve my appearance to train you to be able to use magic weapons with ease. If you can carve your own personal appearance, how difficult is it?"
After Epilepsy said this seriously, he turned around and left. When Epilepsy was far away, Xiao He whispered: "You are obviously narcissistic!"
Xiao He stood in the sky full of yellow sand, staring intently at the boulders in front of him. After previous training, he could pay attention to these boulders in detail. Such a huge stone, even an ordinary mountain stone, would be difficult to carve into a statue.
, not to mention that Xiao He had already felt that these boulders were extremely hard.
It is said that the toughest stone must be broken. If you use sword energy to attack such a huge stone, you will inevitably make neat cuts like a knife, axe, and chisel. If you want to carve it into a statue, the requirements for sword energy control will be very high.
Xiao He thought this, raised his hand and struck first with his sword. A sword energy carried the strong wind and flew towards the boulder. He only heard a sound and left an inch-deep sword mark on the surface of the boulder. This made Xiao He very surprised. He
He originally thought that he could break off a corner of the boulder with just one strike of his sword, but it seemed that the boulder was harder than he thought.
Xiao He once again closed his eyes tightly and calmed down. He sketched the appearance of a madman in his mind, from head to toe, wishing he could even sketch the beard in detail. After thinking about it for a moment, Xiao He's figure moved again. This time he exerted enough strength.
, spread out his body and slashed hundreds of swords at a huge boulder. After slashing the last sword, Xiao He did a sword sheathing pose, and somersaulted to land in the open space behind him. The movements were done in one go, very handsome.
When Xiao He looked back proudly, he was so frightened by his work that his mouth widened. There was no demon in front of him, but there was a ten-meter-tall gorilla standing in the wind, with protruding brows, a huge nose bridge, and extremely thick lips.
, the neck and shoulders that the sword energy passed over were straight and neat, not smooth. Xiao He smiled bitterly in his heart. If the madman knew that he was carved like this, he didn't know how to punish him.
After a wry smile, Xiao He used the Dragon Valley Sword again and slashed at the second boulder. This time, he paid more attention to the strength and angle of luck. After hundreds of attacks, he landed and saw the boulder in front of him and the gorilla next to him.
In comparison, he looks a bit humanoid, but he still looks like a strange old man, and he doesn't look like a lunatic.
In this way, three days passed, from sunrise to sunset. When Xiao He was tired, he meditated on the spot and rested. In three days and nights, he actually carved hundreds of statues of Bai Zun, each one more meticulous than the last, and each one more like a madman than the last.
By the third day, even his hair and eyes looked like a lunatic.
More than half of the stone formation with a radius of more than 70 meters has been consumed by Xiao He's carvings. Seeing that the epileptic demon has not yet arrived, Xiao He ignored his fatigue and got playful for a while. The Dragon Valley Sword rotated around him, and he himself was also on the stone formation.
They shuttled back and forth, and for a while, the Stonehenge was filled with light and light, and the sound of breaking through the air was endless. When Xiao He stopped, the remaining half of the giant stones in the Stonehenge had completely turned into a lunatic.
.
At this point, Xiao He sat on the shoulders of one of the epileptic statues and looked around with satisfaction.
"Boy, it's not bad!"
The voice of Epilepsy rang in his ears. Xiao He turned around and saw that it was indeed his master, Epilepsy, who was currently suspended in the air and looking at him coldly.
"Master, I have finished carving all the boulders, you can take a look!" Xiao He said.
The madman nodded slightly and said, "It's not bad!"
In fact, the epiphany did not say anything, but he was a little surprised in his heart. His original intention was to use Xiao He to carve the boulder to practice his ability to use sword energy. In just three days, he was able to practice to such a proficient level, which was already better than
His expected speed was much faster.
"Master, what should we train next?" Xiao He said.
Diaman didn't speak, and looked at each statue quietly. When he looked around at Xiao He's first work, his eyes suddenly stopped.
Xiao He quickly flew over, straddling the statue's head to block his facial features, and smirked at the madman.
The usually serious epiphany suddenly showed a sly smile, and Xiao He secretly said: No!
I saw the epileptic demon pinching his fingers and reciting a curse. In just a short breath, the barrier was formed. Xiao He wanted to fly out again, but there was no time. Just as he flew into the air, he heard a "bang!" sound. Xiao He just felt that he was pretending.
Standing on the iron wall, he fell to the ground before he could feel the severe pain all over his body.
However, before Xiao He could take a breath, there were a few "clicks" in his ears, and all the stone statues started to move together. The first stone statue to attack Xiao He was the gorilla he carved first.
Seeing the huge stone monkey in front of him, with its palms covering him like a sky and the sun, Xiao He felt angry and resentful in his heart. He waved the Dragon Valley Sword, and a sword energy pierced straight towards his palms. With a bang, the stone monkey's
A big hole was made in the palm of his hand by Xiao He. While it paused for two seconds, Xiao He kicked off his feet and flew up, dodging his attack.
However, just as he avoided a stone gorilla, three more old stone men came. Xiao He dodged left and right, and more and more stone statues came towards him. These giant stone statues had no pain and no thoughts. Their moves were simple in a duel.
It was punches and kicks, straight back and forth.
Xiao He knew that the really powerful ones in this formation must be those statues with shapes that are indistinguishable from those of lunatic demons. For no other reason than that his master is really narcissistic. At this moment, Xiao He just secretly complained in his heart. If he had known this, he was carving
At that time, I must have cut off half of these statues first. Now they are all tall and canopy the sky. It is a little more difficult to attack by myself.
Xiao He was thinking about this in his mind, but he did not dare to neglect his movements, fearing that if he was not careful, he would be slapped into pieces by the statues he had made. He wandered among the statues for a while, and the luck in his hands became faster and faster.
Xiao He's attack frequency increased, and with just a few continuous explosions, the strange-shaped statues on the periphery shattered one by one. The old stone men who were full of energy just now were now reduced to a pile of rubble.
However, just as Xiao He was about to take a breath, the insane statues in the center of Stonehenge slowly began to move.
