C27 Longbo

It was still that short mountain. Gao Zhi had already been here for three days and three nights. Below the mountain, it was a scene of ruins with holes of varying sizes everywhere. Gao Zhi himself was battered and exhausted, like a wild child.

"How could it be wrong again?"

That day, he felt that he had clearly thought things through. How did it become useless in the end?

"Why not? Why is it wrong? What about his sister-in-law? "

Gao Zhi laid on the ground, his face filled with exhaustion and confusion.

"What the f * ck is his sister-in-law doing!"

Gao Zhi cried out, startling a few harmless birds into the sky.

"The method is definitely correct. I did the wrong thing."

Gao Zhi sat up once again, with a determined look in his eyes. He picked up a rock that was around the size of two fists, and at the same time picked up a dagger and cut it open. The cut surface was very flat, and he had some skill.

"Again!"

Gao Zhi encouraged himself, not willing to lose just like that. His right index finger and middle finger were intertwined as they left numerous marks on the stone. One of the traces of Dao energy did not immediately dissipate.

Very quickly, a formation was formed. Gao Zhi immediately closed the other half of the stone, but who would have known, before Gao Zhi could heave a sigh of relief, it instantly exploded again. Luckily Gao Zhi was experienced enough to use his Dao to protect himself in advance, otherwise he would be heavily injured.

"AHH!"

Gao Zhi was so angry that he kept stomping his feet.

"Child, what are you doing?"

A voice came out from nearby. Gao Zhi was startled, and immediately looked towards the direction of the voice, only to see an old man walking slowly towards him. Strangely, his hair was like ink, but his beard was white. Especially the beard on the corner of his mouth; it was slender like a dragon's whisker.

"Uncle, who are you?"

Gao Zhi quietly took a step back. His small face was filled with puzzlement, but there was a trace of wariness in his eyes.

"Me? "A rogue cultivator living in the Ancient History Forest."

The old man smiled. His aura was calm, giving people the feeling that he was very amiable.

"You live in the Forest of Ancient History?"

Gao Zhi blinked his eyes, and crooked his head: "That means you're not a member of the Heaven Gate?"

"Yes, the Gate of Heaven is not where I came from." Laughing, the elder said, "It seems you are the new disciple of the Heaven Gate?"

"Yeah." Gao Zhi nodded, "Why are you here?"

"It's too boring to be alone, so I came out to get some fresh air." The old man smiled and gave an excuse that was not really a reason. After all, this was the domain of the Gate of Heaven, and this place was even more famous, the 'Ancient History Plains' Forest.

However, Gao Zhi would naturally not think of all these. It was only his intuition telling him that this old man was not simple. This was because he could feel a sense of danger from the other party that wasn't any weaker than old man Tianyun's.

"Oh!"

Gao Zhi nodded, thought for a while, then grinned: "Then, goodbye old uncle."

With that, Gao Zhi turned and left, not stopping for even a second. On the other hand, the old man froze on the spot, not knowing how to react. Seeing that Gao Zhi was about to leave, the old man immediately shouted: "Little friend, why are you so anxious to leave? I see that you seem to be experimenting with other formations. It just so happens that this old man has done quite a bit of research on it. Why don't the two of us study it together? "

"Not interested."

Gao Zhi waved his hands, he really wanted to leave this place.

"What if I tell you that I know why you failed?" The old man's voice was not loud, but it resounded in Gao Zhi's ears like a thunderclap. It had to be said that this method was very effective. Gao Zhi had thought about it for several days but still failed to think it through, so naturally, he was unwilling to accept it.

"Actually, I'm very smart. Even if you didn't say anything, it wouldn't be long before I would have thought of it."

Gao Zhi scratched his head, and said somewhat unwillingly.

"That's only natural. This old man has actually been here for quite a while. Although I have done quite a bit of research into formations, I have never thought about your method." However, I know a bit more than you, so I can naturally think of a few things. "

The old man didn't put on any airs as he smiled and said.

"Mm, then that's good. I know what a smart person like me is thinking. Others definitely won't be able to think of it."

Gao Zhi laughed, very smug.

When Gao Zhi walked in front of him, the old man bent down and picked up a broken stone, and laughed: "Actually, you have already succeeded, but unfortunately, this stone was unable to bear that kind of power. "In addition, there are many tiny cracks in the stone that will allow you to pour your Dao power into it and scurry around randomly."

"Yes, yes, I should have thought of that."

Gao Zhi was ecstatic, he was so excited that he almost jumped up, and quickly urged: "Hurry and tell me, hurry and tell me."

The old man smiled and nodded, as if he did not feel that there was anything wrong with Gao Zhi's words, he continued to speak: "If you have an extraordinary object as a medium, such as a few rare materials for refining, you can draw an array on it and absorb Dao energy. When the time for battle comes, you can use it."

"I want to as well, but I don't."

Gao Zhi's face was filled with disappointment. He felt that he was unable to complete such a great invention of his. It was simply a kind of sorrow.

"Speaking of which, it is quite a coincidence. This old man does have some."

"Haha …" The old man laughed softly, and as a wave of Dao power surged forth, a one-foot square piece of red jade appeared in his hand. This jade is called 'volcanic jade' and can be considered a pretty good material, maybe it can be used for your experiment. "

"For me?"

Gao Zhi's mouth creased into a frown, as he revealed a troubled expression.

"It's just a piece of volcanic jade. It's not a big deal, just take it." The old man chuckled, not caring in the least.

"Then I can't take it." Gao Zhi immediately shook his head in refusal, but his eyes unwillingly left the piece of volcanic jade, as he really wanted to test it out. It was a pity that old man Tianyun hadn't prepared these for him.

"Hmm? "Why is that?" The old man was stunned and confused. And there was still someone who didn't want anything? Not to mention a child.

"Elder sister said that we can't take other people's things lightly."

Gao Zhi let out a light sigh, and continued: "Since you've given me the thing, then I'll owe you a favor. Since I've owed you a favor, I'll naturally have to repay it in the future. Although it's not a problem, it's a shackle that binds one's soul. "

"What kind of logic is this?"

The old man smiled helplessly. This was the first time he heard such a theory, but his words did make sense.

"Since I've given it to you, I naturally don't want you to return it. You can just take it."

Then, the old man spoke again.

"No, I must listen to my sister's words." Gao Zhi's tone was firm. Although he wanted it very much, he was not moved.

"Then what do you want? You don't want to test it out? " The old man was once again helpless, as long as he changed the topic to Gao Zhi's Trial Formation.

"Got it."

Gao Zhi was suddenly overjoyed and immediately punched towards the old man's chest. The old man was startled. He narrowed his eyes and a cold light flashed through them. Then, they quickly disappeared with a smile still on his face.

"Pa!"

Gao Zhi lightly struck the old man, and at the same time, used his left hand to grab the volcanic jade in the old man's hand, and jumped back. Alright, this thing is now mine. "

"What kind of logic is this?"

The old man didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He felt that when he came out, he would be circled by this kid.

"Someone else gave me something. If I took it, it would be owing a favor."

Gao Zhi held tightly onto his' volcanic jade ', and said at the same time: "But if I stole the thing, it would naturally be mine, and I don't need to owe anyone anything."

"This …"

The elder widened his eyes. He had lived for so long, but this was the first time he heard such a thing. Those who didn't know would truly think that this was a child that came out of a bandit's nest.

"Then according to what you said, if you steal someone else's thing, they will also want to take it back. But wouldn't this lead to enmity between the two sides? "

The old man quickly regained his composure and spoke with a lecturing tone.

"No, no, uncle, your idea is wrong."

Gao Zhi shook his head, "I stole his things, that means he can't beat me. Since he can't beat me, he definitely won't come and take it back. What's more, the thing I snatched was naturally mine, so what right does he have to take it away? "

"How can something that you've snatched belong to you? Didn't you steal it? "

The old man was a bit confused.

"That's right, it's mine that I got." Gao Zhi nodded very seriously.

"Pah!"

The old man slapped his forehead. He felt as if his thoughts had entered a fork in the road. After thinking for a long time, he could only say, "Then if you don't feel it, is stealing someone else's things a bad thing?"

"I didn't notice. Since I'm going to steal someone else's things, then I must be missing something. Since I'm lacking and they have me, how can I have them if I don't rob them? "Uncle, why can't you understand such a simple question?"

Gao Zhi wrinkled his nose, showing his dissatisfaction.

"Then the people you robbed, they had to be divided, right? You wouldn't rob everyone, would you? "

The old man sighed. He suddenly felt that his brain was not working well enough.

"Of course, if you even rob the poor, wouldn't you become a bandit? I'm not that kind of person. "

Gao Zhi patted his chest, as if showing his kindness.

Hearing this, the corner of the old man's mouth twitched as he silently cursed, "You're not that kind of person, but your mind is much more powerful than bandits. This old man has been around for a long time, but has never seen someone with this kind of mind."

"I'm a good kid." Gao Zhi laughed narcissistically.

"Right, I still don't know your name." The old man could only change the topic, not wanting to continue. Otherwise, he might have gone out to grab some things.

"Xiao Zhi, the young one of Xiao Zhi, has lofty ambitions." Gao Zhi once again concealed his surname, directly saying his name, at the same time he asked: "What about you, old uncle? "How should I address you?"

"Call me Uncle Long."

The old man smiled and his eyes lit up.
