Chapter 3: You can't return empty-handed after entering Baoshan
The old man smiled, nodded lightly and said, "Young man, if you want to go out, just worship me as your teacher!"
"Become a disciple?" Chen Yufan subconsciously took two steps back and said, "You old man can't go out by yourself, let alone me! Even if I study with you, I'm afraid I won't be able to go out. Even if I go out, I'm afraid my life will be different.
Why not go out? Hey!"
The old man smiled and said nothing, shook his head and said: "Boy, I don't know how many people in the world wanted to be my teacher back then, but I didn't expect that you are unwilling today. The reason why I don't go out is because the time and space here are static.
, once I go out, my old bones will probably turn into ashes. Unless I reach that state, I will naturally not go out."
"Time and space stand still?" Chen Yufan was stunned, as if he was speaking in a science fiction movie.
However, the old man nodded somewhat seriously.
The two sat on the floor and talked for who knows how long before Chen Yufan began to figure out some clues. The old man was indeed called Li Xiaoyao. Naturally, he was not the brother Xiaoyao, but a prince named Li in the Tang Dynasty, who was personally named Li Xiaoyao by the emperor.
King Xiaoyao, this prince had a military career and was especially passionate about martial arts.
I don’t know whether it was a coincidence or the fate of heaven. In his later years, he actually found the cave left by his predecessors, and it was in this Xiaoyao Cave. However, according to the old man’s analysis, this place was just the Guiguzi lineage during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
The place of residence, many academics, are complicated.
The old man was originally curious and went into seclusion here, but this retreat was extraordinary. It lasted for hundreds of years. Time passed by like a flash. In this cave, many academics were learned by the old man one by one, including formations.
, Therefore, the old man believed more and more in the existence of immortality, and sealed the hole with an invisible formation that condensed time.
"There is a breakthrough in this formation. Time cannot stop at any time. Quantitative changes will always lead to qualitative changes. Whenever the bright moon turns over the sky and the seven stars gather, time will move forward one grid. This grid is a seven-star continuum.
time, that is, hundreds of years!”
The old man continued: "Let's give a simple example! If you did not fall into this cave this night, but the day before yesterday, or the day before yesterday, then after you come out from here, time will freeze in the last seven stars.
In those days, that is, hundreds of years ago according to what you said. But this kind of thing cannot happen. Unless there are seven stars in a row, it is impossible to open this cave."
"Then how should I get out?" Chen Yufan finally asked the key point.
The old man smiled and clung to his beard and said: "It's very easy for you to go out. With my power, I can forcefully break the barrier of this formation and send you out. However, children, when you enter Baoshan, you can't return empty-handed. When you meet an expert, you can't miss it.
!”
Chen Yufan thought for a moment and said, "Then why don't you go out?"
The old man smiled and said: "If the old man goes out, he will be a pile of bones. Unless I build the Golden Elixir Avenue, I won't go out. But you don't have to be afraid, you are still young. I said that time is still, even if
You stay here for a hundred years, and as long as you don’t miss the next Seven Stars, no matter when you go out, it will be the time when you fall off the cliff, and there will be no problem!"
"Really?" Chen Yufan still said in disbelief.
"Of course it's true, can I still lie to you?" The old man started to brag and glare, but soon said: "Just stay with me as an old man. Anyway, the old man will not let you suffer!
"
Chen Yufan stayed in the cave with peace of mind. Although he still didn't believe what the old man said, but with a strong curiosity and a helplessness of not being able to get out, he finally stayed. The old man looked like a sponge.
Chen Yufan, who is constantly grasping for knowledge, seems to have seen himself in the past, and he likes it more and more. The books here are inherited from Guiguzi's insights in various fields, including six items: martial arts, formation, military, medicine, and skills.
predict.
Chen Yufan learned these things and forgot about going out. Looking at his understanding of martial arts, he finally began to understand why the old man said that as soon as he went out, he turned into bones. In martial arts, there was a threshold in ancient times to become an innate great master.
People can live longer than ordinary people, but they are still mortals. Only when they reach the threshold of the golden elixir of martial arts can they cross the limit of life and death.
I don’t know how many days have passed here. When Chen Yufan was thirsty, he drank the well water here. When he was hungry, he ate some of the best herbs here to replenish his life power. If there was anything he didn’t understand, Li Xiaoyao was naturally there.
Hard-core people are here to help him, so he progresses very, very quickly.
Finally one day, when the old man was playing chess with Chen Yufan, he smiled and said, "Yu Fan, don't you want to go out?"
Chen Yufan suddenly remembered something, rubbed his head in embarrassment and said: "I want to, but I don't know how to get out? Do you still want to ask the master for advice?"
"Manpower is always endless, so as long as you make up your mind, there is nothing you can't do. The old man can send you out, but the old man hopes that you can break through the barriers of this formation and go out on your own. One day in the middle of the mountain,
I don’t know how long it was, but it seems to have been a few years based on outside time!”
"Three years and five months!" Chen Yufan said clearly.
Li Xiaoyao nodded and said: "You remember it very clearly, but it's useless. When you go out, it's still the time when you fell off the cliff! You have studied very well here, and you have read almost all the books here in three years.
, you can also practice some things, such as alchemy, such as chess, tea ceremony, and even formations.
But to go out, just knowing these is not enough. The most important thing about the human body is force. That is the power that transcends nature and exceeds the limits of the human body. As long as force keeps up, you can go wherever you want, and no one can stop you.
Do you know why the old man didn't teach you martial arts in the past three years?"
Chen Yufan shook his head. He once tried to learn martial arts, but the words were too profound for modern people like him to understand. Not everyone can easily practice peerless martial arts just by falling off a cliff. He must have a guide to guide him.
