What should I do if my junior brother becomes a bad old man?

Gu Xunzhi was a little surprised, he didn't know why Ren Xun suddenly asked him to go, but he still passed without saying anything.Obviously there was no danger in that cave, but it wasn't as empty as they thought.

Seems like there's still something worth seeing.

This made Gu Xunzhi curious and filled his heart with expectations.

He followed Ren Xun to the entrance of the cave, and saw a dark hole inside.He called out the spell lighting, and found that the cave was unexpectedly deep, with no end in sight.Gu Xunzhi turned his head and glanced at Ren Sha, who nodded:

"It's not that deep, but you can clearly see traces of people living there... let's go in."

Even if someone has explored it in advance, it seems that it takes a little courage to walk into the unknown dark cave.Gu Xunzhi took a deep breath, but he still didn't dare to take a step forward. While hesitating, Ren Xun took his hand:

"Let's go."

The strength from Ren Sha's hand was reassuring, and Gu Xunzhi suddenly no longer felt nervous, he nodded:

"it is good."

The two walked in hand in hand like this. There was nothing at the entrance of the cave, only the plants and moss that grew naturally in the crevices of the rocks, and there were some traces of the shad just passing by.From the outside, it's just an ordinary cave formed naturally, nothing special.But as long as you walk a few steps inside, you can see the smooth planes carved out by knives and axes on the walls of the cave.Gu Xunzhi walked over and touched the cave wall:

"This place was dug out artificially...not by the means of demons."

Ren Sha nodded:

"Yes, this is worth noting... But what I want you to see is not this, you go a little further."

Gu Xunzhi nodded, holding the ball of light condensed by magic in his hand and continued to move forward.The range that the light ball can illuminate is not too large. Gu Xunzhi vaguely saw strange scratches on the cave wall in front of him, which was covered with dust due to the age. He walked closer and found that it was carved by humans. handwriting.

"This is……"

He reached out to touch the handwriting, and the dust fell down.These handwritings were engraved on the stone wall. The people who carved them seemed to have no decent tools, and the marks left behind were not too deep, and many places were altered.Rather than saying that this is a message left by someone for future generations, it is more like a draft made because there is no pen and paper.

Gu Xunzhi turned to look at Ren Sha, who nodded.

He tried to decipher the handwriting, but the handwriting was blurry and difficult to decipher. Gu Xunzhi realized that this was not an easy task, so he turned around for the time being and went to observe other places.

Except for these handwritings, there are not too many artificial traces left in the cave, probably because of the long time interval, many traces that may have been lived by people have naturally disappeared.There is not even much magic energy here, and only by searching carefully can we find traces from places like stone crevices.

So he went back to the stone wall.

When he turned around to look at other places, Ren Xun had already used magic to clean up the entire stone wall, removed the dust, and added some color to the handwriting. Although it was still difficult to read, it was much better than before.Gu Xunzhi smiled:

"That's much better."

Ren Sha didn't seem very satisfied:

"The stone walls here have been treated in a similar way before, but this time it was done again, and the effect is not as good as I imagined."

Hearing what he said, Gu Xunzhi couldn't help but feel moved:

"So, the last person who wanted to read the text on it should be..."

The two had a tacit understanding, looked at each other, and immediately understood what they wanted to say.

"It should be." Ren Sha said, "I think the time is right."

Since Ren Sha said so, there is nothing wrong with it.Judging from this situation, perhaps when Bai Ruxie came here before, there were no demons here, but these words were left behind.If this is indeed the case, then in the text recorded here, there probably exists the secret of Bai Ruxie using devil energy to cultivate.

Thinking of this, and looking back at the stone wall, the feeling is completely different. Gu Xunzhi found his body trembling uncontrollably.

Demon energy is originally completely harmful to practitioners. Even a practitioner with considerable ability may lose consciousness completely after being contaminated with magic energy and become a walking corpse manipulated by desire.But although the demon has no self-awareness, it has amazing power.If there is a way for people to use magic energy to practice while retaining their self-awareness, I am afraid that many practitioners will find it difficult to refuse this temptation.

That approach may now be in front of him.

For a moment, Gu Xunzhi didn't know whether he should look at the text in front of him.

Ren Xiao called him in, probably because it was difficult for him to decipher these messy human characters.Gu Xunzhi felt that he had some experience in identifying handwriting, but he... really wanted to read it?

Gu Xunzhi knew himself very well, and he knew that as a practitioner, he was not very outstanding.Although he fell into the later situation, partly because he left Bikong Mountain, but he also knew that even if he stayed on the mountain, he might not have any special achievements in the end.If it wasn't for the fact that Ren Xun found the treasures of heaven and earth for him, and he got Xiaoyu's inner alchemy, he wouldn't even have this second chance.And this time he started to work hard again... Even he himself didn't know what limit he could reach.

But the biggest difference between him at this time and before is that his desire for longevity has reached an unprecedented level.Every day he spends with Ren Sha, his nostalgic heart will become more and more.Gu Xunzhi found it unbearable to think that one day in the future he might die because he could not break through the realm and had to be separated from Ren Sha.

It doesn't matter now, if that day really comes, there is a way for him to easily pass through the hurdles that he must pass through on the way of cultivation... Gu Xunzhi felt that it would be too difficult for his future self to resist such a temptation.

If a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, Gu Xunzhi should probably turn around and leave.

But if he turned around and left, who could organize these words?Needless to say, Guichen Immortal, Gu Xunzhi knew that he would not do these troublesome jobs; not to mention Xiaoyu, she grew up in the mountains and forests and rarely interacted with people. Engraved these.Now there are only the four of them here, and Ren Xun probably took this into consideration, so he only called him in.

He turned his head to look at Ren Xun, Ren Xun never showed much expression, but this time he looked at him expectantly.This look shocked Gu Xunzhi's heart.

Thinking about it carefully, Ren Xiao had high expectations for him in a certain matter, this was almost the first time in his life.

There were very good reasons for not doing this, but Gu Xunzhi still made up his mind.Even if it's just for this look, he is willing to do his best.

He thought for a while, and said to Ren Sha:

"Xin Qing, come and help me."

Ren Zhen nodded, and Gu Xunzhi's work of identifying the handwriting on the stone wall began.

They borrowed pens and paper from the Guichen Immortal, and found a few papers for Ren Zhen to sit down and copy.Gu Xunzhi started from the end and proceeded to recognize the shape of each character.Although this is slower, there may be mistakes occasionally, and sometimes you have to reread the normal word order in order to adjust the whole sentence, but at least in this way, Gu Xunzhi will not leave a complete impression of the full text, so it is not so easy Tempted.

In any case, the work was going on faster than Gu Xunzhi's original imagination.After about half a day, they have sorted out all the words that can still be read clearly.Gu Xunzhi refused to go over to look at it, and asked Ren Sha from a long distance:

"How about it?"

"It's interesting." Ren Zhen said while reading, "No matter who wrote these things, I think he is quite talented. The method he came up with can suppress the influence of demonic energy to a minimum and maximize To play its role... It's just a pity, if this person has the opportunity to embark on the right path of cultivation, he will at least be an Earth Immortal now."

Gu Xunzhi grasped the key point keenly:

"So...the person who wrote these things was not a practitioner?"

Ren Sha shook her head:

"The words he used to write these things are not the idiomatic usage of a practitioner, but he figured it out by himself. If he was a practitioner, he would definitely be able to write more concisely, and there would be fewer steps in the middle of thinking. Let me guess, I will I feel that this is a mortal who has been poisoned by the devil's energy, and he fell here for some special reason. In order not to be eroded by the devil's energy, he tried his best to find a way, and finally found a way to use the devil's energy to cultivate by chance. "

"Isn't that very powerful? Shall we look for famous practitioners in the past few hundred years?"

Ren Sha shook her head again:

"Although this method is powerful, it has fatal flaws. You have also seen Bai Ruxie. The exercises used by Bai Ruxie are not exactly the same as those recorded here. They should have been modified by him. His original version can achieve The effect will only be worse than that of Bai Ruxie. If he absorbs the devil energy without restraint, he will probably die from the explosion of the devil energy in a short time. Even if he can keep suppressing the devil energy, his body will be destroyed. Erosion from devilish energy. I'm afraid the lifespan is shorter than that of ordinary people."

When Gu Xunzhi heard what Ren Sha said, he also sighed:

"That's a pity."

After Ren Sha finished speaking, she still couldn't help looking at her hand.

Gu Xunzhi was a little curious:

"What are you still looking at?"

Ren Xun folded the paper in his hand, only exposed the part he was looking at, and pointed it to Gu Xunzhi:

"I'm looking at this part. The content is different from other parts. It seems that when he was in a desperate situation, he thought he was going to die soon, so he wrote it down. Here is his name. This name seems...a bit familiar? I must be in Where have you seen it?"

Gu Xunzhi heard him say that it had nothing to do with cultivation, so he leaned over to watch it together.He was startled when he recognized the name written on the paper:

"This is--!"

The author has something to say: continue tomorrow.

The time may be a little later.
