Luo Kai walked to the front of the valley and jumped down. The valley was extremely deep, and he didn't reach the end even after five or six minutes. It was as if the whole process of falling was going back and forth in a fixed area, with no beginning and no end.
By now, he could already feel the frequency of the power of space. The principle of the Space Error Miasma was similar to a reflection in water, slightly deflected from the normal space. A silver light flickered between his eyebrows, correcting his position. Very quickly, he passed through the layers of fog, and a shocking scene appeared in front of him.
The bottom of the valley was wide and narrow at the top. Looking from the bottom, it gave people the feeling of looking up at a line of sky. It might be several thousand meters deep. On both sides of the valley were steep cliffs, and one couldn't see the end of it at a glance. On those cliffs, large patches of vine-like plants and moss grew, making people instantly go from a high altitude plateau to a tropical rainforest.
At the bottom of the valley, there was actually a verdant village. There were dozens of wooden houses in twos and threes, and many vegetables and grains were planted in the surroundings. A small stream quietly flowed through the middle of the village. Smoke rose from the chimneys, and the roads were crisscrossed.
An old man with a Big Beard and a lame leg stood in a small courtyard, staring at him with a face full of surprise.
Luo Kai's heart surged with excitement that he hadn't felt for a long time. He slowed down his falling speed, and landed lightly in the small courtyard. He said, "Big Beard!"
Hearing this familiar name, the surprise on the old man's face gradually disappeared, and he laughed in surprise, "Stinky brat, so it's you!"
He walked over and patted Luo Kai's shoulder heavily. He looked up and down and said, "Good brat, your ability is not inferior to this old brother!"
The old man's appearance in front of him didn't change at all. He still had that sloppy, drunken look, but his aura was like the clouds in the Ninth Heaven, changing and untraceable at the same time. That's right, he should have thought of it earlier. How could Big Beard be an ordinary person? He was the Wind Saint!
Luo Kai looked around. If he could find a place like this to steal half a day of leisure in today's world, then it would really be like an immortal's life. He said enviously, "Old brother, you really know how to find a place."
However, Big Beard spat out, "My ass Peach Garden. Drinking rice wine every day, your mouth is going to be bland."
The two of them laughed heartily at the same time as they sat down in the small courtyard. They briefly chatted about their experiences over the past two years.
Luo Kai didn't have anything to hide. He recounted his experience of studying in Shangjing until he was "killed" by the Evil God through space. As for his experience of nirvana rebirth, it was somewhat unimaginable. Even with his current realm, he still hadn't figured it out and didn't know how to explain it.
Big Beard's face turned gloomy as he sighed, "We brothers are in the same boat. Back then, I advised you to find a place to live an ordinary life because I was worried that you would attract their attention if you progressed too quickly."
Luo Kai's heart skipped a beat. Big Beard was already a human saint, but he had been living in hiding all this time. Could it be that he was also being hunted down by Evil God?
Big Beard waved his hand, and a strange force rose in the void, isolating the small courtyard they were in from space. He pondered for a while and said, "Xiao Kai, do you know what a God is?"
Luo Kai thought for a moment and replied, "I think it's a kind of existence that can avoid the reincarnation of heaven and earth and seize the fortune of heaven and earth."
Big Beard nodded, "You can say that. As the saying goes, mountains and rivers have spirits. When life evolves to the peak, they will sense these natural consciousnesses. Their bodies and consciousnesses will gradually merge with the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, and become the inheritors of the natural consciousnesses of the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas. That's how God is born."
Luo Kai frowned. There were several times when he had that kind of connection between heaven and man. Whether it was the stars, the universe, the mountains, rivers, or seas, they all seemed to have a consciousness. This kind of connection between heaven and man should be the first step on the path to becoming a God.
When all life evolves to the peak, there will be two paths. One is to return to all things and inherit the will of heaven and earth. The other is to leave this world and explore the endless universe.
Big Beard looked at him carefully and was more and more surprised. Luo Kai looked very ordinary on the surface, but inside, he was like a beautiful crystal statue. The energy of the three elements that overflowed and circulated around him. His baby-like eyes were like the Milky Way of the Ninth Heaven, flashing and flowing endlessly. He had underestimated him. If he had known, he would have taken him away!
"Big Beard, are you also being hunted by the Evil God?"
Big Beard came to his senses and said with melancholy, "Do you remember that I told you about the War Beasts?"
"I remember." Luo Kai was very puzzled. How did he talk about the War Beasts?
Big Beard's face showed a nostalgic expression and said, "Speaking of which, it was an ill-fated relationship. When I was young, I wandered the world and inadvertently saved a Water Serpent from the hands of a group of slave traders."
Luo Kai asked in astonishment, "Is it a Vicious Beast?"
"That's right, it was a young Vicious Beast. It became my War Beast. At that time, the world was pretty much the same as it is now. The human countries were fighting with each other endlessly. The Vicious Beasts were spying on me. My strength was getting higher and higher. The Water Serpent also advanced to the Perfect Body and had a new name, Rain Serpent."
"That Rain Serpent was your War Beast?" Luo Kai stood up in shock. "She" was actually a human's War Beast.
Big Beard smiled bitterly and said, "That's right. Later on, she surpassed me and became a Natural God who inherited the Will of Water. She was still brooding about the past and looked for trouble with me everywhere. I had no choice but to hide everywhere. It's a pity that there was no place for me in this world. This leg of mine was broken by her, so Xiao Kai, you must not raise any War Beasts."
Luo Kai looked at him with a strange expression. How could things be so simple?
Big Beard's face turned red from his gaze and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. That woman thought that I bullied her when she was my War Beast. She wanted to take my life!"
Luo Kai couldn't help but laugh. It was obvious that Big Beard and the Rain Serpent had an unusual past. Actually, when one's life had advanced to a certain level, one's race and other things would not be an obstacle.
Big Beard also laughed mischievously. He went back to his house and took out two wine cups. He poured some fragrant rice wine into them. Although it was an ill-fated relationship, being able to have this kind of fate with a God was also a matter of pride.
Luo Kai raised his cup and drank a mouthful. The wine's taste was soft, but it was actually very strong.
There were many people living in the small village. From time to time, the sound of children crying and dogs barking could be heard. If it wasn't for the dense fog in the surroundings, it would really be like a paradise.
… …
On top of the canyon, Ah Bin looked at the sleeping Brown Bear and the wooden Thirteen and said in a low voice, "Sister Wen Li, we should go."
Wen Li thought quickly and said, "Ah Bin, it's said that the Wind Saint is always elusive. Are you sure you can find him? Even if you find him, will he accept you as his disciple?"
Ah Bin puffed out his chest and was about to say "of course", but he thought of something and said dejectedly, "I don't know."
Wen Li chuckled and said, "There is an existence in front of us that is not weaker than a Saint. Why should we give up what is close at hand and seek what is far away?"
Ah Bin pointed at the canyon in astonishment and said, "You mean him?"
"Yes, this Mr. Wu is definitely not weaker than a Saint. You see, he has always been alone, so he definitely hasn't received any inheritance. If you can learn his amazing knife skills, you can go anywhere in the world in the future!"
Ah Bin recalled the scene last night and couldn't help but feel excited. Yes, if I can learn that thunderous knife skills, my only weakness will be gone!
