Chapter 1011 Temple
Ye Tian looked at the man in front of him sharpening his knife, a little clanking, and his mind went blank for a moment.
"What's wrong?"
Mirage is now extremely concerned about Ye Tian's state, and seems to be frightened. The strangeness of this place may have wiped out what little courage he has left.
Ye Tian shook his head calmly, closed his eyes and felt the immortal essence in his body again, it was the same as before, without any looseness, frozen in the meridians.
"You latecomers, every time you enter this mist, you will startle the monsters hidden in it. If you are not prepared, you may not be able to go very far."
The short knife in the man's hand was dark, and the sound of grinding against the whetstone was a bit harsh.
"I haven't asked the names of seniors."
Ye Tian asked in a low voice.
"I was originally a passer-by in this world. You asked my name and what I did. If you called me a knife grinder, I have been walking in this ghostly place for a long time, and I only have this knife as my companion... "
The man seemed to have finally sharpened the knife in his hand, wiped it with his sleeve, and put the whetstone and his black short knife back with a backhand.
"Then... Senior Knife Grinder, you have been exploring in this mist for so many years, do you have any clues to leave here?"
Ye Tian inquired.
But the man in black who claimed to be the sharpener just glanced at him and said coldly.
"If I knew there were any clues to leave, I wouldn't talk nonsense with you here now. However, this place is full of dangers, and if you are not careful, you may die in Huangquan, and your cultivation level has improved a little compared to the outside world."
"Aside from this mist and that monster, is there nothing else here? How did seniors manage to spend years like a day?"
Ye Tian asked unwillingly, he didn't believe that the other party would have no clue at all after staying here for so many years.
"I have seen people other than those monsters come here for so many years, but I told you earlier that they have all become similar to those monsters, and among those people I have seen, your realm is The lowest and the strangest."
The knife grinder's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he looked at Ye Tian's dantian twice, but it seemed that because of the environment here, although he noticed something unusual about Ye Tian, he couldn't understand the root cause.
"The senior thinks, what chance do we have to get out?"
"Chance? You know that among so many people I've seen in my life, only that guy went out. One in ten thousand? That might be because I'm too confident in myself."
The knife sharpener laughed for a while, and then gradually restrained his smile.
"If I hadn't met you here today, I'm afraid it won't be long before I would become like those monsters."
"Although I don't know the grievances between Senior and Uncle Tu, Senior said that it was because he was stuck in this place and couldn't get out. The two of you must be related. Don't you know some clues about why he was able to leave?"
When the knife sharpener heard this, he glanced at Ye Tian, and then looked elsewhere, his eyes full of memories.
"That was a long, long time ago... That guy... came here with me to hunt for treasure, but later left alone. He was able to go out... It seems that he found a place..."
"Where?"
Ye Tian seemed to have smelled a hint of mystery to go out.
"A temple, a temple that appears once every ten thousand years."
said the sharpener.
"temple?"
"That's right, when I first heard him talk about it, I felt as strange as you did. I didn't expect there to be such a place as a temple in this ghost land, so I didn't believe him at all, thinking that he just lost time here. It's too long, I gradually lost my mind, and I was about to turn into those monsters, but I didn't expect..."
"I didn't expect to find that place later, and he left because of it, and you can only watch and continue to wander here?"
Ye Tian answered.
"It's almost the same, but he also deliberately concealed it from me. When he talked to me, he just mentioned a few words lightly. Later, I was one step away from the temple, but I was slow because I blocked a monster from chasing and killing for him. One step... the temple disappeared! So my hope was also shattered, until ten thousand years later, I saw it surface again, but that time..."
When Mo Dao Ren said this, he suddenly stopped talking and did not continue, but changed the topic.
"Now it seems that it has been almost 10,000 years since the last time the temple was opened..."
When Ye Tian heard this, his heart moved.
So, doesn't he have a chance to go out?
"I don't know where the temple is opened? How to leave?"
The knife sharpener just glanced at him lazily and repeated.
"If I knew, I wouldn't be talking nonsense with you here."
Ye Tian was silent and didn't make a sound anymore. The person in front of him suddenly appeared and saved his life. At least for now, there was no hostility.
But if it is said that the other party has been here for so many years and does not know any other clues, he absolutely does not believe it. In fact, they are just on guard against each other.
"The timing of the appearance of the temple is regular, but there is no sign of the place where it appears, but no matter how far or near it appears, you can clearly see it in the mist, it just shines in the dark of."
"A luminous body in the mist?"
"Well, of course, you and I are not the only ones who have eyes in this mist, so there will be many monsters who have been transformed from lost people here, just like the one you faced just now. , but all appearances have their own strengths, and they are also different due to different cultivation levels in life, the only thing in common for you is that they are all stronger than you."
The sharpener said.
Ye Tian had already made preparations in his heart, after all, he had said before that he was the first person to come here before he reached the realm of heaven.
"Then are we sitting here now waiting for the temple to appear?"
"of course not."
The knife sharpener got up and patted the dust off his body.
"I'll tell you another little secret. If you don't want to be lost, try not to stop yourself. That way you can at least slow down the speed of getting lost. If the fog here stays in the body for a long time, you will feel in a trance, and I , I have walked here for tens of thousands of years without stopping.”
After the knife sharpener finished speaking, he turned around and walked forward, walking at a leisurely pace.
Ye Tian followed silently.
After all, if it is as the other party said, there are still many monsters here just now. Now that my immortal essence is sealed, I may be able to save my life against one or two, but if there are too many monsters, I am afraid I can only wait to die.
The two walked aimlessly for a while, and Ye Tian was not as obsessed with the direction he had chosen as before.
"This person is a bit weird, be careful."
The mirage's voice suddenly appeared, some without beginning or end, and then suddenly fell silent.
Ye Tian tried to communicate with him, but there was no response.
Although he had some doubts in his heart, he still secretly kept an eye on the knife sharpener.
"There should be a monster that just appeared near here."
The knife grinder stopped suddenly and said, then turned around and stretched out his hand to signal Ye Tian, and he handed the blue lantern to himself.
The latter hesitated for a moment, but handed over the lamp in his hand.
The knife sharpener squatted down with a blue lamp in his hand, and used the light in his hand to illuminate the ground, revealing a mass of black marks, like the footprints of some kind of huge creature.
"Although your magic weapon is almost broken, it still has some effect on this fog."
After the knife grinder finished speaking, he returned the lamp in his hand to Ye Tian.
"I must have obtained these things earlier, hehe, it's so funny. Back then, I accompanied that guy to this ghostly place, but got nothing. Now, you, a junior with a low cultivation base, easily obtained such a treasure. ..."
The knife sharpener sneered, but Ye Tian remained silent.
"coming."
The former said suddenly.
Before Ye Tiandu could react, he suddenly heard a roar from around, and then saw a black shadow flashing in front of his eyes.
The knife 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's naked eyes could not catch.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian felt a wave of fighting. Although the immortal essence in his body could not function, his physical body was still very sensitive to this energy fluctuation.
So he rushed over with the Qing Jue Chongyun Sword in one hand and the green lantern in the other, but when the blue light in his hand dispelled the fog in front of him, what caught his eye was indeed the battle that had already been decided.
Ye Tian hadn't even been able to fully see the true face of that monster, he only saw pieces of broken corpses all over the place, no tentacles, red hair everywhere, but it was missing a head.
"I've killed 800 or 1000 monsters like this. You don't have to be too surprised at the so-called practice makes perfect."
The knife sharpener was a little slurred in his speech, and he seemed to be chewing something in his mouth, making a horrible creaking sound.
"Senior, what are you eating?"
Ye Tian had a bad premonition.
"I told you before that I have my own way to stay sane in the mist, and one of them is to use these monsters as supplements. Although they have completely lost themselves, there are still some things in their minds that belonged to them before they were alive. The memory of ... belongs to the memory of people."
The knife sharpener made a swallowing motion, and then waved his hand casually, burning all the broken corpses on the ground.
And Ye Tian didn't know why, but after hearing it, he just felt a little uncomfortable.
He opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly there was a burst of white light, which was a bit dazzling, Ye Tian quickly blocked it, but the knife sharpener did not change his face, looking at the white light rising into the sky in the distance, his eyes were solemn.
"What's this?"
When the white light slowly faded away, Ye Tian only felt dizzy for a while.
"This is the opportunity for us to leave this place. This time, we cannot miss it."
The knife sharpener murmured, the short knife in his hand seemed to flash cold for a moment.
Ye Tian also followed his gaze to look at the white light that soared into the sky in the distance, which was a bit majestic and sacred.
