Chapter 155 The Legacy of the Immortal

"So you want to rely on the inheritance left by Shangxian in this plane to avoid disasters? It's so naive." Qiutong laughed.

"Which immortal are you talking about?" Li Yu asked.

"Shangxian Lu Bin." Qiutong replied.

It is rumored that the immortal Lu Bin once painted the beautiful scenery of cranes among the clouds on the wall of the oldest building in the world, but the dead objects originally drawn with pen and ink were given life because of the aura of the immortal. When the audience is full of guests, you can see the cranes on the wall dancing gracefully in the painting.But cranes are not mortal things after all, so Lu Bin returned here after several years and flew away on a crane.

That's why the poet Cui Hao left behind the famous sentence of "The people in the past have gone by the yellow crane, and here is the most historic building in the world. The yellow crane will never return, and the white clouds will be empty for thousands of years."

"Then do you know Cui Hao?" Qiu Tong asked Li Yu again.

"I don't know?" Li Yu replied.

Qiutong sighed, and said: "It's really ignorant, let me tell you.

Cui Hao was a native of Bianzhou in ancient times and a poet in the Tang Dynasty.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty became a Jinshi in the 11th year of Kaiyuan, and he was an official to Taipusi Chancellor, and Tianbaozhong was Sixun Yuanwailang.

The most acclaimed one is his "The Building". It is said that Li Bai put down pens for it.

"Quan Tang Poetry" contains 42 poems.

He is upright in nature and quick in thinking, and his works are passionate, bold and magnificent, and he is the author of "Cui Hao Collection". "

"So that's how it is." Li Yu said that she had been taught.

And now, this ancient building welcomes its first guests after the end of the world.

Lu Xu placed Xu Tao under the huge plaque of "White Clouds and Yellow Cranes", and then got up to close the antique door firmly, and the nerves that had been tense all the time relaxed a little bit.He then took out the small flashlight from his shoulder bag and looked around - as a tourist attraction, there really wasn't anything that could be used as a weapon or something to rely on.

Xu Tao was lying on his side on the ground, with one hand tightly pressed on his heart all the time, but his breathing gradually became steady, unlike before, giving people the feeling of hovering on the edge of life and death.

Lu Xu squatted down with concern, and while helping the young man wipe off the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, he asked softly, "What should we do next?"

The pale young man had closed his eyes and endured the pain silently, but now he seemed to feel the light and opened his eyes suddenly. When he saw the small flashlight in Lu Xu's hand glowing, he couldn't help gasping, and immediately He cursed angrily: "You special pencil for the college entrance examination! Turn off the light quickly..." Before he could finish his sentence, he coughed again.

Although he felt that he was being scolded inexplicably, Lu Xu did not feel a trace of anger. Instead, he immediately turned off the flashlight very obediently. After only a few hours of acquaintance with this young man named Xu Tao, Lu Xu's heart was already against him. He developed a strange sense of trust.

The surroundings were plunged into darkness.

In the darkness, the boy stopped coughing quickly, and then murmured helplessly, "Why would I want to save an idiot like you? It's really self-inflicted."

In the darkness, Lu Xu leaned his back against the wall, sat on the ground weakly, looked at the place where Xu Tao lay down, and said softly: "But, thank you, otherwise I might be a pile of minced meat now. "

Xu Tao sighed, sat up in the dark, and said, "That's all, let's just assume that I deserve this fate."

"Fortunately, we have a good location now," the young man murmured, his eyes flickering. "Although this building with the longest history in the world is no longer the original building with the luck of immortals and the beauty of pregnant writers, it has been prosperous for decades, and has accumulated some popularity, and it is uniquely favored by green mountains and green lakes. , Ordinary monsters may not be able to approach here."

Lu Xu's eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, and he saw that Xu Tao's thin and straight silhouette had changed from the previous posture to sitting cross-legged, just like the posture in a mythological TV series when he was mastered.

This world is no longer the world you understood before—the words of the mysterious young man named Angel resurfaced in Lu Xu's ears again.

So where did the old world go?Where did the people living in that world go?
"I know you must have a lot of questions right now," Xu Tao said suddenly, "Then let me give you a thought. As long as you survive tonight, I will tell you everything I know."

Lu Xu was startled, and said: "Didn't you say that we have already taken advantage of the land? Isn't it that ordinary monsters can't get close to this place? How can we not survive tonight!" Before he finished speaking, Lu Xu stood up nervously , looking in a panic at the place in the depths of the darkness where the eyes can't reach, lest there will be something like mud jumping out again.

There was a hint of a smile on Xu Tao's thin lips, and he said, "This time I understood very quickly, but you missed the key words in my words."

Lu Xu was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized it in a moment.Yes, the key word is "ordinary".

Then next, the enemies they face must be "very" people.

"You must have a solution, right?" At this moment, Lu Xu calmed down, looked at Xu Tao and asked, but his trembling voice really betrayed his inner timidity.

Xu Tao didn't answer right away, but fixed Lu Xu's eyes, put away the smile on the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Are you scared? About death, especially the kind of death that has never been thought of before."

Lu Xu replied: "Yes, I am very scared, and just thinking that I will be torn to death by those monsters with sharp teeth and claws, I will be too scared to walk. But, aren't you afraid? ? If you’re like me, an ordinary person who goes to work from [-] to [-] every day and has nothing special about you, wouldn’t you be afraid when you have no power to fight back against those monsters?”

Only then did Xu Tao put down the hand that was pressing on his heart, his gaze was like a torch, and he said: "Yes, I am also afraid, I am even more afraid of death than you. But what I am afraid of is not the fangs and The sharp claws, but the fear that when I face all this, I will lose the courage to face it and kill myself... That is the real death! Died completely from the inside of the soul!"

"What about you? Have you been smoothed by life? Or have you lost the courage to face danger in repeated setbacks?" The pale and frail young man looked directly into Lu Xu's eyes, as if only those eyes were shining through in the darkness. The dazzling light penetrated directly into the depths of Lu Xu's soul.

Lu Xu didn't dare to meet Xu Tao's eyes, turned his head away hastily, and didn't say a word.

Xu Tao laughed self-deprecatingly, and said, "Although I don't want to admit it, if we still want to see the sun tomorrow, we must rely on you." Then he pulled out the sword behind him and continued: "Can you see the sword spirit?"

Lu Xu turned his head back again, staring at the ancient Chinese-style long sword in the young man's hand, a hair-thin cyan light was circulating around the sword.

"The sword spirit you mentioned is that cyan light?" Lu Xu asked.

"You can really see it." Xu Tao pondered for a moment, then said: "Excalibur has a spirit, and this blue light is the result of the power of the sword spirit manifesting in our eyes, and it is also the only thing I can live to this day. Rely on."

At this point, Xu Tao's forehead was covered with a layer of cold sweat, and his cheeks gradually turned pale, as if he was enduring some kind of great pain.Lu Xu hurriedly bent down to protect him, fearing that the boy would collapse on the ground in an instant.

Xu Tao gritted his teeth, and said: "It's too late to explain more, you have to remember every word I say next, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise we will not survive tonight."

Lu Xu nodded vigorously, but saw the young man put the long sword in its sheath and stuffed it into his own hand.

"Sword spirits are noble in nature, difficult to get close to evil spirits, and they can ward off disasters and take refuge for those who wield the sword. But when I confronted Qiongqi, I overdrawn my mental strength, and the power of the sword spirit drawn out now can only protect the heart veins , there is absolutely no energy left to protect you and me." The boy paused when he said this, and listened to the voice in the wind, his expression changed drastically.

"Your flashlight has attracted a big trouble!" Xu Tao said, and then he sped up his speech, saying: "I will hand over my sword to you now, since you can see the sword spirit, then try to use it Come and awaken the power of the sword spirit with your will."

Lu Xu heard the urgency in Xu Tao's tone, and felt that his hand holding the sword was full of sweat, and said, "What should I do?"

"Without distracting thoughts, try to call the name of this sword in your heart. If I save the wrong person, the sword spirit will respond to you. At that time, you can pull the power of the sword spirit to set up a barrier for us, although it may It’s only a small part of the power of the sword spirit, but with the advantage of the location of the oldest building in the world, it’s not a problem to shelter us for one night, and we’ll be safe until dawn.”

"Hehe, is it safe at dawn? These people are too naive." Qiu Tong said with a sneer.

Regarding Qiutong's sneer, the two people in the building didn't notice at all, and just continued talking on their own.

At this time, upon hearing Xu Tao's words, Lu Xu immediately closed his eyes, trying to enter the "sedation" state just like Xu Tao did just now.At this moment, even he could feel a cold aura rushing towards them like a tide, not the piercing killing intent like Qiongqi or Mud Boy, but an extremely pure cold aura, if Being in the very center of that breath, it feels like being in the bottom of the ocean at [-] feet in an instant, without even a ray of light penetrating in.

"Call him, as if he is the only pearl that belongs to you in the deepest seabed. If you still have the courage to sink into the unknown seabed, call his name. His name is—Jiezi! "
