Chapter 296

Before it could get close, Zhang Xiaohua raised his hand, and the small sword flew up with a whoosh. As if it had a mind of its own, it stabbed into the rapidly fading orange light.

The light dimmed at first, then brightened. It was so dazzling that Zhang Xiaohua closed his eyes slightly. His divine sense was also greatly shaken, and the small sword suddenly bounced back, almost escaping the control of his divine sense.

"Why is the restriction on this light screen not even afraid of the small sword? I remember that I used this small sword to break the restriction on the box in the Misty School's library."

Thinking about the box in the Misty School, Zhang Xiaohua had an indescribable feeling in his heart. Now that he thought about it, that box must have been a restriction on immortality. Presumably, Sect Leader Ou and the others from the Misty School had also tried to open it, and none of them had succeeded. Otherwise, it would not have been placed on the third floor of the library in such a perfect condition. He actually managed to use the small sword to break the restriction. He had to admit that his luck was really too good!

"Since the small sword could break the restriction on the box in the Misty School, it should have some effect on this restriction. Why is there no movement at all? Is my luck bad?

Isn't it just that my clothes are a little shabby? I'm not a sweeper. "

Zhang Xiaohua rubbed his chin and looked at the dimmed light screen thoughtfully. The small sword in front of him quietly floated in the air, motionless.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua's eyes lit up. The small sword immediately moved, but it did not rush towards the light screen. Instead, it suddenly returned to Zhang Xiaohua's left hand. As soon as the small sword returned to his left hand, Zhang Xiaohua immediately felt that it was connected to his blood vessels. Then, he raised his left hand, and it was a move of the Nameless Swordsmanship, directly stabbing towards the transparent light screen.

Following Zhang Xiaohua's sword move, a warm current spontaneously appeared in an unknown part of his left arm. It flowed along a certain meridian in his left arm and rushed towards the small sword. When the tip of the sword touched the invisible restriction, the warm current also flowed into the small sword. His ears did not hear any sound, but Zhang Xiaohua's divine sense seemed to have felt a slight "kacha" sound. The orange light on the restriction flashed again, and after a few rapid flashes, a crack appeared at the place where the small sword pierced. The crack quickly expanded, and soon revealed the original entrance of the cave. At the same time, a gust of hot air rushed towards him!

Zhang Xiaohua took two steps back and carefully looked at the cave behind the restriction.

This was a cave similar to the one Zhang Xiaohua lived in, but the entrance was much larger than his. Not only was there a hot air gushing out, but there was also a faint light shooting out.

Zhang Xiaohua frowned and did not dare to enter.

After waiting for a while, he cautiously shouted, "Is there anyone in the cave?

I'm Zhang Xiaohua. I'm sorry to take the liberty of visiting. Can you come out for a chat? "

After shouting a few times, there was no sound from inside. Zhang Xiaohua released his divine sense.

The cave was quite spacious. There was a stone bed, a stone chair, and a long stone table. There were restrictions on all sides of the cave, which isolated his divine sense. There was a lot of fluctuation of primordial qi in the cave. The most intense fluctuation was from a ball on the stone table. However, these were not enough to move Zhang Xiaohua. What surprised him the most was that on the stone bed, there was a skeleton in a long robe, which seemed to be sitting cross-legged.

Moreover, the stone walls of the cave were embedded with fist-sized Luminous Pearls!

Zhang Xiaohua was drooling over them!

Zhang Xiaohua resisted the urge to take the small sword and dig out the Luminous Pearls. He slowly walked into the mysterious cave. His eyes reluctantly moved away from the stone walls. When he saw the skeleton, his eyes lit up again. He quickly walked to the skeleton and bowed deeply, saying, "Senior, I'm Zhang Xiaohua. I'm sorry to intrude into the cave. Um … I'm sorry to disturb your meditation. I have a presumptuous request, but I don't know if you'll agree."

The skeleton did not say anything. Zhang Xiaohua continued, "You see, my clothes are already worn out. In a few days, it's inevitable that my clothes will be ruined. However, you don't need this robe anymore. If you don't have any objections, how about I borrow it to wear for a few days?

How about I return it to you on the day I leave the island?

What do you think?

I'll count to three. If you don't object, I'll take it that you agree.

One … two … "

"Oh, that's right. I wonder what material your robe is made of. It actually has energy waves. Can I take a look?"

As he said, he stretched his hand over and secretly touched the skeleton's sleeve. This movement was not important. The moment the sleeve moved slightly, the entire skeleton immediately collapsed onto the stone bed!

It turned into powder. Only the robe remained intact and curled up into a ball. It turned out that this skeleton had long turned into powder. It was only because there was no external force that it remained intact. Until Zhang Xiaohua quietly touched it, it immediately turned into dust.

This time, Zhang Xiaohua jumped back in shock. Looking at the situation, he muttered, "Sorry, sorry, Old Master. I didn't do it on purpose.

I really didn't expect you to be so weak. "

"Aiya, Old Master, I haven't said 'three' yet. Tell me, should I still say it?"

After a while, Zhang Xiaohua bowed deeply again and said sincerely, "Old Master, I don't know where you came from or how you came to this deserted island. Of course, if there are no accidents, perhaps you will be my role model in a hundred years. There's a saying in my hometown, 'Rest in peace'. I don't have anything to show my filial piety to you, so I'll bury your body now. What do you think?"

Only then did he stop saying 'one, two, three'. He used the robe to carry the ashes that had already turned into dust and floated out of the cave. This canyon was originally made of rocks, so where could there be a place to dig a hole?

Thus, Zhang Xiaohua flew back to the side of the small lake and carefully looked around. He used a small sword to dig a small hole at the side of the lake and scattered the ashes in the robe into this small hole.

At this time, there was a soft "clang" sound. Something fell from the robe into the small hole. Zhang Xiaohua reached out and grabbed it. Looking at it carefully, it was a long metal object with a triangular shape. It looked like a command arrow. This command arrow was engraved with words and patterns that Zhang Xiaohua had never used before. A pressure similar to energy waves was faintly emitted from it.

Zhang Xiaohua looked left and right, but he couldn't understand the main point, so he casually put it into his clothes.

After shaking the ashes into the small pit, Zhang Xiaohua threw the robe to the side and personally used his hands to cover the small pit with soil, making it look like a small grave mound. Then, from the countless stones on the side, he picked a piece that looked pleasing to the eye and placed it in front of the small grave mound. He muttered to himself, "Old man, I don't know your name, and I don't know how to write this epitaph. Oh, right, didn't you leave something in the cave? It won't be too late to write it after I read it.

However, old man, in order to write your epitaph, I have to look through it. "

"Oh, also, Old Master, I'll take this robe with me. I don't think I need to return it to you. You must be much older than my grandmother. I'll kowtow to you a few times to show my filial piety for your juniors."

After saying that, he really knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times. Then, he got up and picked up the robe beside him.

The robe was black. When he held it in his hand, it was like fine cotton. Under the sunlight, there were traces of light reflection. It must be of excellent quality. Although it had been in the cave for many years and there was no dust, Zhang Xiaohua still carefully washed it in the lake.

However, he soon discovered that his efforts were futile. The black robe simply did not get wet at all. As long as he fished it out of the lake, the water droplets on the robe would immediately drip off, and the robe would not be soaked in the slightest.

Zhang Xiaohua was overjoyed. He threw away his tattered clothes and jumped into the lake. He didn't care if he could drink the lake water in the future. He happily washed and put on the robe.

He thought that the robe might not fit him because he was still young. However, when he put it on, although it didn't fit him perfectly, it didn't grow much.

Immediately, Zhang Xiaohua felt relieved. He was growing. It had been almost a year since he came to this deserted island. His body naturally grew a lot. Although his old clothes weren't tattered, they couldn't be worn anymore. He was still thinking about his previous height and didn't keep up with the times.

After putting on the black robe, Zhang Xiaohua walked back to the small grave and bowed deeply. Then, he floated away and flew to the canyon on the island.

The restriction on the cave was restored. Zhang Xiaohua followed the pattern and entered the cave, which was still hot.

Looking at the empty stone bed, Zhang Xiaohua sighed deeply. No matter who the skeleton was, what was the use of it if it didn't have the way to immortality?

Just a moment ago, it was still holding the stone bed. Now, it had become a pile of dust. No one would be able to recognise it.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaohua's heart skipped a beat. He had been stuck at the fourth layer of Qi Refining for a long time. Zhang Xiaohua didn't dare to be careless. He immediately stepped onto the bed and sat down cross-legged. He didn't even have time to take out the Crouching Ox Stone before he began to cultivate.

As soon as Zhang Xiaohua sat down, the zhenqi in his meridians that hadn't moved much for a long time seemed to hear a call and began to circulate wildly in his veins. Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly released his spiritual sense. There was actually a faint, continuous, and somewhat scorching aura in the cave, as well as countless strands of spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.

"The spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth seems to be different from the spiritual stones I've absorbed before. Forget it, I can't worry too much about it. I'll just absorb it first."

Zhang Xiaohua didn't have time to think. He hurriedly used the fourth layer of the Carefree Heart Sutra to absorb the spiritual Qi around him. He originally thought that he would be able to absorb all the spiritual Qi around him in a short period of time, but when he started to absorb it, he discovered that although the spiritual Qi was thin, it seemed to be endless. No matter how he absorbed it, it was the same.

As for the zhenqi in Zhang Xiaohua's meridians, after receiving the spiritual Qi that had never been absorbed before, it became even more active. It was constantly jumping, no, dancing, dancing as it circulated in his veins. After an unknown amount of time, the zhenqi in his meridians reached a limit. Very naturally, it rushed towards the fifth layer!
