Ling tripod

"Boy, you finally woke up!"

Lingding's extremely tired voice sounded in Chu Yan's heart.

"Old Bai, what's wrong with you? I remember what happened in the end...?"

Chu Yan thought about it, but his head became a little painful.

"That day you entered the teleportation array, but the teleportation array was destroyed midway. I protected your body, allowing you to escape from the turbulent flow of the void. After that, you fell into the Bone Wasteland, and there were monsters peeping at your body. In order to protect your physical body, I ran out of energy and was unable to stop you. However, I didn't expect that the cold air was born in your blood, attracting countless ice fish to escort you, and then you drifted to this island and were captured by a little The girl and her grandfather were saved!"

Lingding said in a tired voice. In order to prevent Chu Yan's physical body from being destroyed, Lingding spent a lot of energy. Later, he overdrafted the living green flames to heal Chu Yan. At this time, he was extremely exhausted.

"How many days have passed?"

Chu Yan was in a daze. He didn't expect that he had experienced so much, and now he was living on an island above the sea of ​​bones. Thinking about his own survival, he subconsciously asked.

"You have been in a coma for a whole month, but the strange thing is that the vitality in your body no longer flows, and there is even a tendency to recover. I can't understand it, but I guess it has something to do with your purple demon bloodline, but the vitality can be restored How far it goes depends on your luck. Judging from the current situation, you only have one year to live at most! "

The heavy voice of Lingding sounded in Chu Yan's heart.

"One year? Is there any remedy?"

Chu Yan's mood calmed down a little. Originally, he could only live for a month at most, but now it has become a year, which is not too bad.

"I have never seen this kind of situation, but I guess there are two ways to go. First, you must practice from scratch. As your cultivation improves, it is possible to increase your longevity again. Second, look for spiritual objects with powerful life functions. , to extend my life, I am too tired and have to sleep for a few days to refine the power of the demon cultivator. When I regain my strength, I will discuss the law enforcement with you in detail! "

Lingding's words fell silent and there was no sound.

"Do we have to start all over again?"

Chu Yan murmured to himself, thinking back on the journey along the way, it was like a dream. He went from being a useless person with his spiritual roots destroyed. With the help of Lingding, his efforts and various opportunities, it took only nine years. He has reached the eighth level of the Golden Core stage, but today, nine years later, he has returned to the starting point again. All this is as if God played a joke on him.

"So what, where the Taoist heart is, nothing can stop me!"

At this moment, Chu Yan's heart was empty, his Tao heart was more stable, and his understanding of Tao was unprecedentedly clear.

Guard, at this moment, Chu Yan finally attributed his Taoist heart to one word, guard, protect everything that is important to him, this is where Chu Yan's Taoist heart lies.

Now that everything has just begun, how can you give up and start practicing again? This is not something that cannot be accepted by people like Chu Yan who are extremely determined in Taoism.

"Um?"

Feeling that her arms were a little slippery, she couldn't help but look over and saw a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old with her little face pressed against her arms. The saliva was dripping from her mouth. She looked at her forehead and saw that it was a little slippery. Messy hair.

Seeing the medicine bowl on the table next to the bed, and looking at the tired look on the little girl's face, Chu Yan couldn't help feeling a little distressed, and couldn't help but touch her head.

"Woo, I'm not full yet..."

Xiaoqing was dreaming about eating delicious food. She felt someone calling her and couldn't help but mumbled. She raised her head and rubbed her hazy sleepy eyes. Suddenly her big watery eyes widened even more, and she said excitedly with a look of surprise. : "Grandpa, you're awake!"

Grandpa?

Chu Yan touched the wrinkles on his face and couldn't help but laugh at himself: "Yes, grandpa is awake. What's your name, little girl? You must have saved me!"

"Hehe, my name is Xiaoqing!"

The little girl said with a smile.

"Xiaoqing..."

Chu Yan said to himself, feeling familiar, as if he had heard this name before.

"Xiao Qing is not that capable of saving you. It was Xiao Qing's grandfather who saved you. Grandpa, you don't know that you were frozen into a popsicle that day. Xiao Qing was so scared... By the way, Grandpa, you What’s your name?”

Xiaoqing smiled, her appearance as a little girl clearly revealed, and asked.

"Chu Yan!"

Chu Yan smiled faintly. With his appearance, it was indeed a bit difficult for others to call him Brother Chu. That's all, grandpa will be grandpa!

"Hehe, Xiaoqing will call you Grandpa Chu from now on. By the way, Grandpa Chu, how did you fall into the sea and turn into a popsicle?"

Xiao Qing smiled and asked with curiosity on his face.

"Hey... Grandpa can't remember it either!"

Chu Yan said with a lonely look on his face. He lied. It wasn't that he didn't want to tell Xiao Qing about his own affairs. It was just that there were some things that it was better not to tell. Chu Yan was afraid of bringing trouble to this little girl. It would be a bit awkward to talk about his own affairs. It’s unbelievable, I’m afraid even this simple little girl might not believe it.

Xiao Qing was kind-hearted and persuaded with a smile: "Oh, grandpa, don't worry. It doesn't matter if you can't remember. Just treat this place as your home. Xiao Qing has a grandpa, and now there is another grandpa Chu. Xiao Qing is very happy." of!"

"Good girl!"

Chu Yan touched Xiaoqing's head again.

"Grandpa, cover yourself with the quilt and don't catch a cold. Xiaoqing will go get you something to eat!"

Xiaoqing smiled and stuffed Chu Yan's arm into the quilt, but saw a large puddle of saliva she had left on it. She quickly wiped it away, her face turned red like an apple, and she said in a voice like a mosquito's cry: "Xiao Qing Qing didn’t mean it, Xiaoqing went to get food for grandpa!”

Seeing Xiaoqing jumping and leaving happily, Chu Yan couldn't help but smile lightly. He was really lucky to meet such a kind-hearted little girl.

After Xiao Qing left, Chu Yan began to think deeply. He should plan his future today.

With things like this now, let alone going to Liangzhou, even walking would be a problem. Chu Yan thought and felt that his dantian was empty, and the five golden elixirs had long since disappeared.

"You don't have to rush to practice spiritual power. You need to recover your body first. Only when your energy and blood are strong can you practice faster."

Chu Yan made a plan. First, he must fully recover from his injuries and adjust his body to its best condition so that he can practice easily.

At this moment, an old voice with a bit of joy came in:

"Brother, you finally woke up!"

Chu Yan looked up and saw an old man wearing a coarse cloth shirt walking in. He had gray hair, a slightly stooped figure, and a smile on his wrinkled face.

Chu Yan also accepted this title. With his current appearance, the other party did not call him big brother, which was a great honor to him.

"Thank you so much for saving my life!"

Chu Yan walked out of the bed holding his painful body and knelt down towards him.

Throughout his life, Chu Yan knelt down on the sky, on the ground, on his parents and on his mentor, but the person in front of him took his own life. This kindness was more important than the mountains, and he deserved to kneel down.

"Brother, why is this happening? Please get up quickly, you are killing me like this!"

When the old man saw Chu Yan looking like this, he immediately supported Chu Yan and prevented him from kneeling down.

Sure enough, I still call myself ‘big brother’…

Chu Yan felt a little helpless, but the other party was definitely calling him that out of politeness. What could he say?

"Thank you for your kindness. My name is Chu Yan. I wonder what your brother's surname is?"

Chu Yan's eyes were filled with sincere gratitude. According to Ling Ding's estimation, if no one saved him, he would probably not survive three days, so he called the other person 'brother' with some difficulty.

"It turns out to be Brother Chu. The younger brother's surname is Gongyang, and his single name is Nan."

The old man smiled faintly, sighing secretly that the person he saved was a man who knew how to repay his kindness, and it was not in vain that he had spent so much effort.

"It turns out it's Brother Gongyang. With his current physical condition, I'm afraid I'm going to bother Brother Gongyang for a few more days!"

Chu Yan thought to himself that the compound surname Gongyang was generally a surname only found in some big families. Could it be that this old man was also a member of a big family?

"Brother Chu, you're too polite. Just treat this place as your own home and rest in peace. We are just brothers and grandson. It will be more lively if we have more brother Chu! Wait, brother, I will get you a fish!"

Gongyang Nan smiled and turned away with some curiosity about Chu Yan in his heart.

The folk customs here are so simple!

Chu Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although his spiritual power has been lost now, Chu Yan's spiritual thoughts are still there. It can be detected that this old man is a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi training. His words are all spoken from the sincerity, among which There wasn't even a hint of precaution. This feeling was something Chu Yan, who had been struggling in the world of immortality for more than ten years, rarely felt.

After a moment, Xiao Qing and Gong Yang Nan walked in together and placed a small table in the room. There were two green vegetables and a bowl of fish soup on the table, which was obviously for Chu Yan's meal.

Sensing the aroma of the three dishes that contained some spiritual power, Chu Yan couldn't help but work up his appetite.

"I almost forgot, brother, I have a pot of soju here!"

Gong Yangnan slapped his forehead and walked out. After a while, he walked in with a wine jar still covered with soil. It was obviously old wine that had been buried underground for many years.

"Brother Gongyang spent money!"

"Hey, Brother Chu is out, drink!"

Gong Yangnan poured wine into Chu Yan's cup, and Chu Yan naturally wouldn't shirk it. Xiao Qing was also very happy, and the three of them had a great time!
