Junior Disciple C

There was a "tick".

Water droplets dripped from the overhanging bamboo shoots on the roof of the cave, making small splashes in the puddles below.

And at the same time as the ticking sound, there was a slightly dull sound, like some heavy object falling to the ground.

Feng Ye found the cave entrance from the bottom of the sea, and he didn't completely walk through the bottom of the cave, he just walked to the center of the Lingshi Mine.

He didn't go deep into the surrounding places where there were few spirit stones and shadows where light was equally scarce.

Because of this, he never discovered that at the other end of the underwater cave, there is an extremely concealed passage leading directly to the ground on the top of the cave.

Right now, a pitch-black figure jumped down from the passage, a man covered in a black robe.

The man took two steps forward, and finally revealed his face under the faint spiritual light of the spirit stone, but it was a mask made of cold iron.

He looked around, and then walked towards the center of the Lingshi Mine familiarly.

Unlike Feng Ye, who just arrived and was groping forward in this unfamiliar environment, he didn't stop and had a clear goal.

Because he had been here before, a hundred years ago.

When Ling Yun came to the seabed cave a hundred years ago, he actually took this path, which is why he was able to avoid the guards of the monsters and get the tree seeds.

He accidentally discovered a dark and endless passage on land. Out of curiosity, he touched it all the way down, and finally touched this Lingshi mine located at a depth of 300 meters under the sea.

He was originally attracted by these densely packed spirit stones with excellent appearance, but when he saw the seed placed on the lotus platform, swallowing the spirit energy around him, he forgot all about spirit stones and spirit stones back.

This kind of seed is different from all the plants he has seen. The seed coat is a rare irregular yellow color, like a trap, and like snake skin.

"There is wood, its shape is like a cow, and it has skin. It looks like a yellow snake. Its leaves are like Luo Luo, but it is actually like Luan..." Ling Yun murmured a hundred years ago. records, and reached out to pick up this miraculous seed.

Every feature was right, the name of the seed was ready to be revealed, Ling Yun's expression became more and more joyful, almost crazy.

After he and his junior brother Ji Chengyue let go of their bold words, they have been searching for the law of reaching the sky, and searched all kinds of ancient books for this purpose, but those laws of reaching the sky are either absurd and bizarre, or they only exist in legends. inside.

But today, he suddenly realized that there was something in the legend.

This is the tree that reaches the sky - Jianmu.

Ling Yun held the Jianmu tree seed tightly in his palm, he was full of ecstasy, he only felt that he was only one step away from Tongtian, so he wanted to leave impatiently.

Unexpectedly, before he had gone far with the tree species, he was noticed by the monsters wandering around the cave. For this reason, he started a world-shattering battle with a group of monsters who were cultivated in the Nascent Soul Stage. , and beheaded two Nascent Soul monsters, Ling Yun, who was in the Dao stage, successfully left with the tree species.

The events of a hundred years ago flashed through Ling Yun's mind like a lantern, and he walked to the lotus platform with tree seeds again, it was empty.

"God." He called out to the void.

"Well, I saw it." The man with a deep and magnetic voice replied, his tone was slightly confused: "If there is a second tree species here, it will disturb the circulation of spiritual power, but the flow of spiritual energy here is very normal."

"Unless...there is no second Jianmu seed in the world." The man pondered, and came to the same conclusion as Feng Ye.

"God, what should we do?" Ling Yun asked.

The man was silent for a moment, and then decided: "Go to Ji Chengyue again, the fragments of the building wood must still be with him."

The man's tone was firm and determined.Because after removing all the impossibilities, the only possibility left is the only answer.

"Yes." Ling Yun replied, and while answering, he turned around and prepared to return along the original path.

However, just a few steps away, the man suddenly stopped: "Wait."

Ling Yun's footsteps stopped, and he didn't need a man to remind him. He also noticed something strange.

Ling Yun squatted down and looked at the rock wall beside him.Although this cave hidden 300 meters under the sea is not filled with sea water due to wind pressure, it still has a lot of moisture.

This resulted in dense moss growing on the cave's stone walls in addition to spirit stones.

But the stone wall beside him, which should have been completely covered with moss, was missing a small piece in a very abrupt way.

It's like someone accidentally touched it when passing by.

It was definitely not him, he came from the other side and never approached the stone wall at all.Well, there is only one possibility....

"Someone has been here." Ling Yun deduced looking at the traces of the missing moss.

He touched the stone wall again, feeling the remaining dampness on the stone wall, and added: "Not long after I left, there was less than half a stick of incense."

This time, the man did not answer for a long time.

This voice has always been illusory, and he always talks to Ling Yun when he wants to. Ling Yun has no idea what the man is doing.

He didn't know whether the man was listening to him or not.

But this time, he clearly felt that the man was listening.

Because...Ling Yun stretched out his hand to touch his chest, the center is to the left, where the heart is.

His heartbeat was speeding up, not because of his own emotional ups and downs, but because of...

"God?" Ling Yun asked with some doubts.

"Go and find him!" The man's voice was hurried and almost out of control, no longer his usual contemptuous banter.

"The one who jumped into the sea first?" The man's words were vague, and he didn't know who to look for, but Ling Yun easily guessed it.

Because since he regained his heart, the heart has always been beating regularly without any abnormal ups and downs, and will not be moved by anything, such as joy, anger, sorrow, joy, and various emotions, the owner of the heart has never had it.

Therefore, the rhythm of the heart remains unchanged, and the rhythm has never been messed up.

But today, in just one day, this heart beat twice.

The reason for the confusion can only be because of the same person.

"Go find him for me!" The man urged impatiently.

Ling Yun didn't stay any longer, he didn't chase after the direction Feng Ye left to search, and within half a stick of incense, the other party had already gone to nowhere.

After all, the deep sea is not a habitat for human beings, and Ling Yun is not good at water. Looking for a person in the deep sea who has only met once, and is far away, and even his face is not clearly seen, is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

Therefore, Ling Yun is going to go back to the land directly. The land is more convenient for him to search, and the other party cannot stay in the deep sea for a long time, so he will definitely return to the shore.

He hurried all the way, hoping to reach the coast first and intercept the person who came up from the deep sea.

Not long after he reached the ground, he was about to rush towards the coast when he saw something strange in the sky.

The black clouds surged, and in a blink of an eye, all the sunlight was covered by thick black clouds, and the sky was dim.

Looking up at this scene, he felt his heart beating faster and faster, and he faintly detected a little bit of his master's emotions from the accelerated heartbeat.

Anticipation mixed with joy.

This was the first time that this man, who had always been indifferent to mortal affairs, showed such clear and explicit emotions.

Others just thought it was a sudden change of weather. The weather at the seaside was like the facial makeup of a Sichuan opera.

But Ling Yun knew it wasn't, it wasn't a black cloud at all, the black mist covering the sky was...

suffocating.

Such an evil spirit that covers the sky and the sun must be found on the battlefield where tens of thousands of souls have died.But at this moment, it suddenly appeared above a peaceful floating island.

This was brought on by someone.

Ling Yun thought to himself, and then, he saw the light piercing the sky.

Jian Guang.

Bitter and eye-catching sword light.

Cut through everything in its path, whether it's rock formations as thick as 300 meters deep or rough waves.

The mountains and seas were broken under the sword energy, shocking cracks appeared on the earth, and the earth shook.

The cut sea water turned into a [-]-meter-high water curtain, slapping the shore of the island, and the monsters with low cultivation level fled frantically on the floating island, desperately escaping from the place where the sword light appeared.

In the quake of the earthquake, the ancient trees collapsed and the rocks cracked. Only Ling Yun stood firmly on the spot.

He looked at the dazzling sword light lighting up his pupils, and murmured: "That's..."

At the same time, he was covering his heart, and his heartbeat became more and more violent, which was the rhythm of ecstasy.

A chuckle suddenly came from his ear. After his heartbeat couldn't go any faster, the rhythm of his heartbeat gradually stabilized, but it was still a little faster than usual.

The man's tone was more joyful than ever before, he looked at the place where the sword light disappeared, and sighed with a hint of nostalgia: "It's really you..."

Ling Yun didn't ask who it was, because he already guessed the answer.He only asked: "God, do we still have to go find him?"

"No need, now is not the time for us to meet again." The man sighed regretfully, and after the sigh, his mood became cheerful again: "After all, you will definitely come to me..."

"Feng Ye." He whispered the name softly, in an intimate tone like a whisper between lovers.

Unlike the man who was full of joy, Ling Yun raised his eyebrows lightly: "God, will he become our hindrance?"

"Hehe, hindrance?" The man laughed again, as if he had heard some funny joke, he shook his head and asked, "How could he be an obstruction?"

"Actually, my plan to lure him into the world is already half successful." The man's voice became lower and lower, and finally turned into an uncontrollable laughter, which slowly dissipated into the void.

Ling Yun took one last look at the place where the sword light disappeared, then turned his back and avoided it from a distance.

The time has not come.
