Chapter 1011: The Temple
Ye Tian looked at the person in front of him sharpening his knife, a little solemnly, and his mind was blank for a moment.
"What's wrong?"
Mirage is now extremely concerned about Ye Tian's state, like a frightened bird, and the strangeness of this place is afraid that it will wear out the little courage he has left.
Ye Tian shook his head silently, closed his eyes and felt the immortal yuan in his body again, but it was as before, it was not loosened, and it was solidified in the meridians.
"You latecomers, every time you enter this fog, you will alarm the monsters hidden inside, and if you are not prepared, I am afraid you will not be able to go far. ”
The short knife in the man's hand was black, and the sound of grinding against the whetstone was a little harsh.
"I haven't consulted my predecessors yet. ”
Ye Tian asked in a low voice.
"I'm a passer-by who comes and goes in this world, you ask me what I do, if you call me a knife sharpener, I don't know how long I have been in this ghost place, and only this knife is ...... to accompany me."
The man seemed to have finally sharpened the knife in his hand, wiped it with his sleeve, and with a backhand he took the whetstone and his short black knife.
"That'...... Senior Knife Sharpener, you have been exploring in this fog for so many years, do you have any clues to leave here?"
Ye Tian inquired.
But the man in black who claimed to be a knife sharpener just glanced at him and said coldly.
"If I had known any clues to leave, I wouldn't be talking nonsense with you right now. However, this place is full of dangers, and if you are not careful, you may die in Huangquan, but your cultivation is a little better than the outside world. ”
"Isn't there nothing else here except this fog and that monster?
Ye Tian asked unwillingly, he didn't believe that the other party would have no clues if he stayed here for so many years.
"I've been here for so many years, and I've naturally seen people other than those monsters, but as I told you before, they have all become the same kind of monsters, and among the people I've seen, your realm is the lowest but also the most peculiar. ”
The knife sharpener's eyes were suddenly dark, and he glanced at Ye Tian's dantian twice, but it seemed that because of the environment here, although he noticed that Ye Tian had something extraordinary, he couldn't understand the fundamentals.
"What do seniors think we have a chance of going out?"
"Chance? You know I've seen so many people in my life, and only that guy has gone out. One in 10,000? It could also be that you are too confident in yourself. ”
The knife sharpener laughed for a while, and then gradually retracted his smile.
"If I hadn't met you here today, I'm afraid it wouldn't be long before I would have become one of those monsters. ”
"Although I don't know what grievances the senior has with Tubo, but the senior said that it was because he was trapped in this place and couldn't get out, and the two of you must be related, so I don't know a little bit about why he was able to leave?"
Hearing this, the knife grinder glanced at Ye Tian, and then looked away, his eyes full of reminiscence.
"That's a long, long time ago...... That guy...... He came with me to hunt for treasure, but then left alone, and he was able to get out...... It seems to be because he found a place......"
"Where?"
Ye Tian seemed to smell a hint of mystery that he could go out.
"A temple, a temple that appears once in 10,000 years. ”
The sharpener said.
"Temple?"
"Yes, when I first heard him talk about it, I felt as strange as you, I didn't think that there was a temple in this ghost land, so I didn't believe him at all, thinking that it was just that he had been lost in this place for too long, and gradually lost his mind, and was about to become like those monsters, but I didn't expect ......"
"I didn't expect to find that place and he left because of it, and you can only watch and continue to wander around this place?"
Ye Tian answered.
"It's pretty much the same, but he also deliberately deceives me, and when he talks to me, he only makes a few light mentions, and then I am a step away from the temple, but I am a step slow to stop him from being chased by a monster...... The temple was gone, and my hopes were dashed, until 10,000 years later, when I saw it reappear, but that time ......."
When the grinder said this, he suddenly stopped silently and did not continue, but changed the subject.
"It seems like it's been almost 10,000 years since the last temple was opened......"
When Ye Tian heard this, his heart moved.
In this way, wouldn't I have a chance to go out?
"I don't know where the temple opened, how do I leave?"
And the sharpener just glanced at him lazily and repeated.
"If I knew, I wouldn't be talking nonsense to you here. ”
Ye Tian was silent, and he didn't say anything anymore, the person in front of him suddenly appeared and saved his life, at least for now, there was no hostility.
But if the other party has been here for so many years and doesn't know any other clues, he never believes it, but in fact, he is just wary of each other.
"The temple appeared at a regular time, but without warning, but it was good that you could see it clearly in the fog wherever it appeared, and it glowed in the darkness. ”
"Luminaries in the mist?"
"Well, of course, it's not just you and me who have eyes in this fog, so there are a lot of monsters that can be attracted by the lost here, just like you just faced, but all kinds of appearances have their own strengths, and they are also different due to different cultivation before death, and the only thing in common for you is that they are all stronger than you. ”
The sharpener said.
Ye Tian had already prepared in his heart, after all, Mirage had said before that he was the first person to enter this place before he had reached the Heavenly Dao realm.
"Shall we just sit here and wait for the temple to appear?"
"Of course not. ”
The sharpener got up and patted the dust off his body.
"Let me tell you a little secret, if you don't want to be lost, try not to stop yourself, that can at least slow down the speed of loss, the fog here will stay in the body for a long time and you will have a trance, and I, I have been walking here for tens of thousands of years, and I don't stop. ”
After the knife sharpener finished speaking, he turned around and walked forward, not in a hurry.
Ye Tian followed silently.
After all, if it is as the other party said, there are still many monsters in this place, and he is sealed at the moment, and he may be able to save his life in the face of one or two, but if there are many of them, I am afraid he can only wait for death.
The two of them walked aimlessly for a while, and Ye Tian was not as obsessed with the direction he had chosen as before.
"This guy is a little weird, you be careful. ”
The mirage sound suddenly appeared, some without a head or an end, and then suddenly fell silent.
Ye Tian tried to communicate with him, but he was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no response.
Although he had some doubts in his heart, he still secretly gave the knife sharpener a heart.
"There should be monsters around here. ”
The knife grinder suddenly stopped and said, then turned around and stretched out his hand to Ye Tian, and he handed the green light to himself.
The latter hesitated, but handed over the lamp in his hand.
The sharpener crouched down with a green lantern in his hand, and used the light in his hand to illuminate the ground, revealing a black mark, like the footprints of some gigantic creature.
"Although your magic weapon is almost broken, it still has some effect on this fog. ”
After the knife sharpener finished speaking, he returned the lamp in his hand to Ye Tian.
"Presumably I got these things in front of me, hehe, it's really funny, I accompanied that guy to this ghost place for nine deaths, but I didn't get anything, but now I was easily obtained by a junior like you who cultivated to a low level......"
The knife grinder sneered, and Ye Tian was silent.
"It's coming. ”
The former said suddenly.
Before Ye Tiandu could react, he suddenly heard a roar around him, and then saw a black shadow flickering in front of him.
The sharpener made a move, and the black short knife appeared in his hand again, rushing towards the direction where the roar came from at a speed that Ye Tian couldn't catch with his naked eye.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian felt a fluctuation of the fight, although the immortal yuan in his body could not function, but the physical body was still very sensitive to this kind of energy fluctuation.
So he rushed over with the Qingjue Chongyun Sword in one hand and the green lantern in the other, but when the green light in his hand dispelled the fog in front of him, what came into view was indeed the battle situation that had already been divided.
Ye Tian hadn't even seen the true face of that monster, he only saw broken corpses on the ground, no tentacles, red hair everywhere, but a head was missing.
"I killed not a thousand but eight hundred monsters like this, and you don't have to be too surprised that practice makes perfect. ”
The sharpener was a little slurred, and his mouth seemed to chew something, making a creaking sound.
"The seniors are in ...... What to eat?"
Ye Tian had a bad premonition.
"I told you before that I have my own ways of keeping my sanity in the fog, and one of them is to make up for these monsters, although they have completely lost themselves, there are still some memories left in their minds, belonging to the ...... Human memory. ”
The sharpener made a swallowing motion, and with a wave of his hand, he burned all the broken pieces on the ground.
And Ye Tian didn't know why, he only felt a little uncomfortable after hearing it.
He opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly a burst of white light shone brightly, a little dazzling, Ye Tian hurriedly blocked it, but the knife sharpener did not change his face, looking at the white light that rose to the sky in the distance, his eyes were solemn.
"What is this?"
When the white light slowly faded, Ye Tian only felt dizzy.
"That's why we left this place, and this time, we can't miss it. ”
The sharpener muttered, the short knife in his hand seemed to flash with a flash of coldness.
Ye Tian also followed his gaze and looked at the white light that rose into the sky in the distance, which was somewhat magnificent and sacred.
