Chapter 2202: Wishes
Not only that, but the people around him also turned into stone statues, unable to move. The time of the whole world seemed to have stopped.
"What's going on?" Li Hanxue was shocked and hurried to grab the stone bowl from the woodcutter.
At this time, Li Hanxue had already discovered that the wine he poured out was his own strength! If even a drop of that wine was spilled, Li Hanxue's strength would plummet.
"Old man, give me back the wine in the bowl!" Li Hanxue shouted.
The woodcutter smiled and said, "How can I take back the gift I gave you? Young man, I will accept the wine you gave me."
After that, the woodcutter actually raised the stone bowl and drank it all.
Li Hanxue was furious and reached out to grab the woodcutter, but the woodcutter's figure suddenly became erratic. The more Li Hanxue grabbed him, the farther he was from Li Hanxue.
"Old man, stop right there! Give me back the wine!" Li Hanxue yelled.
The woodcutter smiled and said, "If we are destined to meet again, I will give you a glass of wine next time we meet."
Li Hanxue chased after him madly, but he could not catch up with the woodcutter. The woodcutter's figure gradually blurred and finally disappeared in the depths of the dense forest.
Li Hanxue supported his knees with both hands, panting, "Who is this old man? He took away all my power without anyone noticing. Could he be the owner of the Tian Temple?"
Li Hanxue fell into a state of confusion. He was originally a peak dragon king, but now he has become an ordinary person. Now even if a warrior stands in front of him, he may not be able to defeat the other party, and he may even be killed by the other party.
This feeling of falling from the clouds to the mortal world is really uncomfortable. wavv
"Quan Tianjun said that as long as you get close to the range of the Tadetian Temple, this situation will occur. Today, it seems that what he said is true." Li Hanxue said in his heart, "Although my power has disappeared, it also means that the Tadetian Temple has appeared. My chance has come! As long as I find the Tadetian Temple, I can seize the opportunity to step on the sky and become the Tianjun."
Li Hanxue left the teahouse, and at this time, the time in the four directions of the world resumed. The big man looked around, his face full of confusion, "Where is that little brother? And where did that old dog thief go?"
After leaving the teahouse, Li Hanxue walked north to find the Tadetian Temple.
Li Hanxue did not dare to go too far, because if he stepped out of this area, he might have left the range of the Tadetian Temple. It would be impossible to come in and look for it again.
This journey was very difficult. There were many insects and beasts in the primeval forest. Li Hanxue was just an ordinary man now, with a mortal body. Even if he encountered a mysterious beast, he had to be extra careful, not to mention some powerful warriors and beasts.
Li Hanxue was under threat from all sides at any time and had to be very careful. If he was not careful, he would die directly, and even the gods could not save him.
Li Hanxue seemed to have returned to the days when he had lost all his cultivation and was worried.
However, Li Hanxue did not intend to give up. He was still looking for the Tatian Temple in this primeval forest, looking for the woodcutter who took away his power.
"If I am not mistaken, as long as I leave this area, I can immediately restore my strength, but at the same time, I may also lose the opportunity to see the Tatian Temple." Li Hanxue murmured, "Is this a test given to me by the owner of the Tatian Temple?"
In a blink of an eye, five months passed.
Li Hanxue shuttled through the primeval forest with extreme caution, trying to avoid all warriors and not participating in any fights.
But he still failed to find the Tatian Temple.
At noon that day, the sun was high, and Li Hanxue was walking on the forest path, thirsty, looking around, there was no water at all.
After advancing ten feet, he suddenly heard a sound of rushing water. Li Hanxue looked up and saw a waterfall rushing down the stone wall on the west side, but the water was blocked by a protruding brown stone in the middle of the stone wall.
Li Hanxue climbed up slowly along the stone wall on the west side. After a lot of effort, he finally climbed up the brown stone and drank the sweet spring water to his heart's content.
After quenching his thirst, Li Hanxue sat on the big stone, looking at the sky, and murmured: "I have been in this primeval forest for a whole year. There are still two years left. If I can't find the Tian Temple, I can only give up."
Li Hanxue stood up and prepared to go east, but when he turned around, he was startled to see an old man in gray squatting next to him, also drinking water.
And this old man in gray was the woodcutter who took away his power in the teahouse five months ago!
Li Hanxue smiled, "Senior, we meet again. You promised me before that you would return the cup of wine to me. You won't forget it, right?"
The woodcutter smiled and said, "Didn't I return it to you? These sweet springs are the wine I return to you."
Li Hanxue said, "That's not what I want. You took my power away. It's time to return it to me, right?"
The woodcutter smiled and said, "As long as you leave this forest, you can recover your power immediately. Why ask me for it?"
Li Hanxue said, "You know I'm here to find the Temple of Tatian. I will never leave this place without Tatian. If I'm not mistaken, you are the owner of the Temple of Tatian, right?"
The woodcutter said, "The Temple of Tatian has no owner. It is just a wish in people's hearts. Who in the world can control everyone's wishes?"
"I have been looking for you for five months, but I have never seen you. But today I met you unexpectedly. You came to me, so you must have some advice." Li Hanxue said.
"My friend, what do you think that is?" The woodcutter pointed to the blue sky in the east.
Li Hanxue looked in that direction and saw a small temple made of white stones, like a castle in the sky floating in the clouds.
Li Hanxue was surprised and asked, "Is that the Tatian Temple?"
The woodcutter said, "Yes, that is the Tatian Temple."
"What is hidden in that temple? Why is there a rumor in Dayu Tiangong that anyone who has seen this temple can step on the sky?" Li Hanxue asked.
The woodcutter said, "In fact, there is nothing in the Temple of Heaven. I said that the Temple of Heaven is just a wish in people's hearts. The stronger your wish, the easier it is to see the Temple of Heaven."
Li Hanxue said, "There are hundreds of thousands of warriors in this primeval forest. Their wishes are equally strong. Why can't they see the Temple of Heaven?"
The woodcutter smiled and said, "If a person has a truly strong wish, he will definitely work hard for it and try every possible way to achieve it, rather than waiting for it to happen. Even if there is no real Temple of Heaven, they will strive to move forward to step on the sky. And those people living in this forest are just a group of fools who dream of ascending to heaven in one step. Their wishes are not wishes at all, but just a hopeless fantasy. Naturally, they can't see the Temple of Heaven, and they will never see it in this lifetime."
