Chapter 186: The Man in Yellow

"The appearance of the rainbow phenomenon often indicates that someone has passed away. It seems that there should be a human ascetic hidden on this mountain. And tonight is his final day. The roar just now is his protest against the heavens when he was dying. .”

Xiaohuan said.

"How many years will be the deadline for human practitioners?" Chen Jing asked.

"I don't know much about human beings. Like us snakes, the first limit is 10 years. In these 10 years, if you can open up your intelligence, your lifespan can be increased to 200 years. After 200 years is the second limit. In the past, there was only death, and if you survived it, you would become a spirit like me. In 300 years, there will be a catastrophe of transforming spirits. By that time, if I'm still alive, I'll be qualified to transform into a dragon."

Chen Jing was quite disappointed when he heard that, "I never thought that you have survived two catastrophes."

"Yes, the lifespan of snakes is very short. If you can't open up your intelligence and absorb the essence from nature, then you can't live for too long. And after 200 years, there will be another pass, and our bodies will also die. Facing aging. To become a spiritual calamity is to live towards death, to give up the original body and give birth to a new body, so I can become bigger and smaller now."

Chen Jing only felt that it was not easy to practice such a heaven-defying path.

But Xiaohuan said again: "For human beings, for example, Brother Ajing, if you compare us to snakes, you should be regarded as a psychic. Therefore, your life span should be at least 160 years. Of course, this is not a fixed number. , sometimes depending on the individual's physique and fate, there will be a slight extension or shortening. But it is roughly this number. If you reach a small level of Qi refining, your life span should be increased by one Jiazi. If you are a master of Qi refining, your life span should be extended to around 240."

"240 years?" Chen Jing touched his chin, which reminded him of someone.

According to legend, in the Ming Dynasty, there was an old man named Zhang Sanfeng in Wudang Mountain who lived to be 218 years old. Born on the ninth day of April, 1247, and died in 1464 AD.

According to what Xiaohuan said, 240 years is not a fixed number, it will increase or decrease according to the individual's physique and destiny.

So that is to say, the old man Zhang Sanfeng was a cultivator who had mastered Qi refining back then?

"You human ascetics generally have a lot of good things on their bodies. After death, the things he used in his life will remain. This is also an opportunity, brother Ah Jing." Xiaohuan said suddenly.

Chen Jing nodded, he had thought of this a long time ago.

Since the senior on the mountain is dead, if there are any good things left behind, naturally he can't waste them.

"Go and see." Quietly climbed up the mountain.

When he was about to approach the top of the mountain, Chen Jing suddenly saw a certain location, a stone the size of a bird's egg, shining with a faint blue light in the dark night.

Under the moonlight, the blue light shining from that stone gradually gave birth to a rainbow, floating towards the sky.

It's like setting up a fairy bridge, and the Cowherd and Weaver Girl will meet on it.

Seeing this miraculous scene, Chen Jing's heart skipped a beat: "What is that?"

"Brother Ajing, that seems to be a spirit stone." Xiaohuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Spirit stone?"

"Well, I can feel the breath it emits. It is definitely a spirit stone. It is said that there is only a 1% chance of producing 1 gram of spirit stone out of every 10,000 catties of beautiful jade. God Why, this spirit stone is the size of a bird's egg, which is quite rare."

"So, I'm really lucky tonight." Chen Jing couldn't wait to go over.

However, Xiaohuan suddenly stretched out her tail to block him: "Brother Ah Jing, don't go over."

"why?"

"Someone."

"Someone?"

The mountain was very dark, because it was late at night, and even for a junior practitioner like Chen Jing, no matter how good his eyesight was, he could only see things within a radius of five meters.

Any further away, and it's pretty blurry.

But Xiaohuan is different, she is a snake, and the eyesight of snakes may not be very good. But it has very unique thermal imaging capabilities.

As long as organisms can emit heat, they can be "seen" by them.

"how many people?"

"There were three of them," she said.

"Three?" Chen Jing didn't take it too seriously when he heard that there were only three.

The main reason is that the spiritual line in his body is at its peak state tonight, so it is inevitable that it will be a little swollen.

'The mountain is so wide, if there are only three people, they can't stop me, right? What's more, there is Xiaohuan who can help. '

"Since the spirit stone is so precious and we have seen it, we can't just give it up like this?" Chen Jing said.

"Well, it's really rare. You human qi refiners, if you haven't successfully gathered spirits, you can use spirit stones to attract spirits. Even if you have successfully gathered spirits like you, Ah Jing, you can also It is used to nourish the spiritual thread in the body and make it longer. And... it is also good for me, and I can use it too." Xiaohuan's eyes were also very fiery.

"Then after we get it, we will divide?" Chen Jing suggested.

"Okay." Xiaohuan readily agreed: "It's just that those three people, according to the triangular position, didn't move at all, it seems that they have been waiting here for a long time."

"Whatever, I'll attract their attention, how about you find a chance to take the Lingshi away?" Chen Jing said.

"it is good."

"If we get separated later, we'll meet up at home. If you slip away in this barren mountain, no one should be able to stop you."

"Um."

Chen Jing first asked Xiaohuan to tell him the general location of the three ambushes, and after he had a good idea, he let Xiaohuan sneak into the darkness.

But when he was about to go forward, he saw a yellow object suddenly drilled out of a hole in the ground not far ahead.

Under the night, the shape of that thing is not very clear, a little blurry.

After it climbed out, it looked to the left and looked again, and finally transformed into a man in yellow clothes.

He walked furtively, but he didn't make a sound.

Chen Jing followed closely, and after only a few steps, the man looked back.

As soon as the man saw him, he suddenly lifted his own robe, releasing a puff of pungent smoke from behind.

Chen Jing didn't pay attention, and was dazzled by the smoke, and phantoms appeared in his eyes.

Among those illusions, he saw Song Yuchen with peach blossom cheeks, and then Lu Yanyan with an angry face.

I also saw the kind mother, the honest father...

This made him hold his breath quickly, and retreated more than ten meters.

After staying away from the smoke for a while, the phantom in front of him disappeared.

"I'm afraid this man is a yellow-skinned man?" Chen Jing said in surprise.
