I asked several villages around Yuluo Mountain, but I didn't hear anyone say that they had seen any trace of gods in Yuluo Mountain. In this mountainous area, there are very few rumors about demons. There were occasional rumors of monsters eating people. Fang Yuan analyzed that they were just more powerful beasts, probably not even at the level of monsters. This suddenly made him a little confused.
No matter how thorough your retreat is, as long as you practice in this mountainous area, there will definitely be many traces left behind.
And the traces of these practitioners often turn into deeds of gods in the eyes of ordinary people.
Fang Yuan wanted to use this to determine whether the hermit master was in the mountain.
But this result made him a little disappointed, but he did not give up. He just felt that the whereabouts of the casual cultivator was really secretive. He stayed in this mountain village for a few more days and purchased some medicinal materials. He was given enough money and gradually became familiar with the villagers. When someone asked about his origin, he said that he was a medicinal material merchant from thousands of miles away and came to Wu. Chi Guo purchased medicinal materials.
As for Guan Ao, Fang Yuan didn't have to explain anything now, the villagers regarded him as Fang Yuan's bodyguard.
In fact, where Guan Ao stood, he was half as tall as others, and as dark as an iron tower, he was really intimidating.
Of course, he couldn't speak, and his power would be broken when he spoke.
Before he spoke, the dogs in the village did not dare to bark when they saw Guan Ao. After he spoke, the urchins dared to play with him.
"This kid looks a little crazy, doesn't he?"
The old patriarch of the village had interacted with Fang Yuan several times and became familiar with him, so he came over to talk.
"When I was crossing the Liusha River, I was robbed by a robber and was hit on the head. I haven't recovered yet!"
Fang Yuan casually explained to the old patriarch.
"Oh, it's not easy being an outsider. You didn't abandon him. You are a good shopkeeper!"
The old patriarch praised Fang Yuan.
At this time, Fang Yuan slightly changed his appearance with magic. He looked to be in his forties. In addition, he acted calmly and spoke impeccably. Therefore, people in the village could believe that he was a pharmacist who came to the mountains to purchase medicinal materials. Become suspicious.
If not, seeing his seventeen or eighteen-year-old face, one might think that someone's young master was lost.
"He has helped me save my life. Of course I can't abandon him. I have to look for opportunities to treat his injuries!"
Fang Yuan glanced at Guan Ao, who was squatting not far away and playing "wife jumping into the well" with a group of urchins, and whispered.
This is true!
The old patriarch was filled with admiration when he heard this, and suddenly seemed to remember, and said: "You asked before if there were any gods in this mountain, but you have never seen one, but I heard before that there is a god living in Guiwei Cliff, eighty miles away. The old miraculous doctor used to go down the mountain to treat the villagers. His medical skills were very good. He could cure all the difficult and miscellaneous diseases like Lao Han Leg. Moreover, the old miraculous doctor was also kind-hearted. When he met a poor family, he would often give the medicine in vain. The villagers Everyone thought of him well, and people from all over the country wanted to build a shrine for him, but the old miracle doctor didn't agree, so he didn't erect it. It's just that several years have passed, and I don't know if he still lives on that mountain. Got it!"
"Old miracle doctor?"
Fang Yuan's heart moved slightly, so he asked carefully and kept it in his heart.
That night, after settling in, Fang Yuan took up his flying magic weapon and rushed directly towards the Ghost Crying Cliff that the elders said was eighty miles away. This Ghost Crying Cliff was next to a waterfall. Hearing the sound of water and wind at night, it sounded like ghosts crying. , hence why it got such a strange name.
According to the old patriarch, the old miracle doctor had lived in a hut at Guiwai Cliff for many years.
Fang Yuan controlled the magic weapon, so it was no problem to travel more than seventy miles, and he arrived in less than half an hour.
He searched around the Guiwei Cliff, and sure enough he found the hut, but found that the hut was dilapidated, half of it collapsed, and no one had lived in it for an unknown period of time. Walking around the hut, there were even more signs. Under the ancient tree in the distance, I saw a lonely tombstone. It was new and shiny. It looked like it had been erected not long ago. There were some traces of worship such as the ashes of incense candles and other things around it.
The monument reads: The tomb of Dr. Sun, the benefactor of life!
After Fang Yuan saw it, he suddenly felt a little complicated and sighed softly.
I never expected that in Yuluo Mountain, I finally found someone who could barely match my name, but he was also dead
But, is this old miracle doctor the casual cultivator that Jiu Gu mentioned
With a thought in his heart, Fang Yuan walked behind the tombstone and swept a line of spiritual consciousness towards the grave.
After this sweep, I was slightly surprised to see that inside the tomb, there was only an empty thin coffin with a pair of brand-new shrouds. After thinking about it in my mind, I vaguely guessed the truth: this tomb should be It was the villagers who had treated the old miracle doctor who erected it for him. They must have known that the old miracle doctor had passed away but did not have his bones, so they erected a tomb.
This is what Zheng Fangyuan considered. If the old miracle doctor was really the casual cultivator that Jiu Gu said, he would definitely not allow his bones to be buried in a mortal grave, and the place where he really lived would definitely not be allowed. Just that little hut!
Thinking like this, Fang Yuan stood up again, followed the direction of the surrounding spiritual veins, and figured out the most suitable cliff for building a cave. Then he walked around there for half an hour and finally found something. Stayed in front of an old tree...
Behind the ancient tree was a seemingly deserted hillside, full of thorns. It looked very normal, but Fang Yuan felt a faint power of the magic circle from around the ancient tree. He could guess It can be concluded that behind the ancient tree, it is definitely not as simple as what you see. If you can break through the surrounding magic circle, you might be able to find a hidden cave.
But after briefly examining the formation, Fang Yuan felt a little disappointed.
It looked like I was really late!
The casual cultivator, or the old miracle doctor as the villagers call him, may be really dead!
Because the magic formation protecting this square cave is not a defensive magic formation casually set up by cultivators, but a death formation. This formation is not opened and closed at will, but is specially used to guard the tomb. The square cave was firmly hidden inside, so that no outsiders would discover it, and no one would be allowed to break in casually. If it were to be forcibly broken, the cave would also be destroyed!
If you want to enter this cave, generally speaking, there is only one way, and that is chance!
Because even in the death formation, there will be a gate of life that can change at will, allowing people to enter the cave. In Dianjie, this gate of life has another name, called the "Gate of Chance". In other words, there is a chance. Only people can enter this place!
Maybe no matter how high a person's cultivation level is, he can't break this formation.
But maybe at some point, a cowherd boy fell down and rolled into the cave.
This method is often used by some casual cultivators who have exhausted their lifespan and want to leave their inheritance in the human world before they die.
This is asking God to find a successor for himself!
Fang Yuan was suddenly full of resentment towards the successor who would only appear after who knows how many years.
My luck is indeed not good enough.
Jiu Gu didn't lie to herself. There was indeed a loose cultivator here. She was right. This loose cultivator was about to expire. He probably wanted to find a successor. However, he came a step too late. The loose cultivator had already After he died, there was only one cave left!
Unfortunately, this cave can only be entered with God's permission!
Helpless, Fang Yuan stopped for a moment outside the formation, turned around, stepped on the magic weapon and left.
After returning to the village, on the second day, he brought medicinal materials and said goodbye to the villagers. Then he took Fang Yuan to the nearest town, bought some practical things, and then rushed back overnight, still returning. When they arrived in the mountain, they dug a cave near the cave and asked Guan Ao to cut down some trees and build a wooden house on the hillside.
First, he cleaned the cave that had emerged and set up a few restrictions. Then he called Guan Ao over and got some dried meat, steamed buns, water, etc., so that he could eat a full meal, while he just swallowed a few. A magical elixir that can help you regain your energy a little bit!
After doing this, he returned to the big tree again and secretly sensed the formation protecting the cave.
Most of the day passed like this.
Although the Qi machine of the large formation is not obvious, the formation technique is very clever. With Fang Yuan's ability to sense the power of heaven and earth, it took him most of a day to sense just one wisp, but Fang Yuan was very Being patient, he spent seven or eight days and finally got a little bit of results. Then he returned to the cave, took out a few calculations, and slowly started to make calculations.
Finally, the night passed, and he let out a long breath...
Putting away his calculations, he came to the front of the formation and sighed softly.
"Old senior, I needed guidance from an expert and came here to ask for your inheritance, but I didn't expect it to be a step too late. We are already separated forever!"
"You left a large array to protect the cave, and you must be waiting for someone destined to inherit your inheritance. However, I took the initiative to find you, but I couldn't get in. God actually played a joke on you, and even let you look at me. None, so he rejected me..."
“But this junior doesn’t want to give up just yet, it would be rude!”
He took a stick of incense, lit it with talisman fire, and then gently inserted it in front of the formation.
Looking at the smoke curling up, he whispered: "This junior plans to break this formation on his own, and I beg for your old inheritance. I hope you will forgive me!"
After saying that, he turned back to the cave and began to prepare to break the formation.
Fang Yuan's luck is indeed not good enough, but fortunately he does not live by luck!
What he believes in is his own ability!
Others might be disappointed when encountering something like this, but Fang Yuan did not change his mind so easily!
Now that the casual cultivator has passed away and the formation is guarding the gate, then I can break the formation by myself!
His attainments in formations are already very good, and Xiaozhufeng ranks first.
Perhaps Xiaozhufeng's No. 1 level was far from enough to break the death formation left by this casual cultivator.
But Fang Yuan is very confident and he learns things quickly!
