Chapter 212 Cave Wolf
This sentence was not a question, but a simple and peaceful statement. I also knew that the Taoist monk did not want an answer at all, but was simply stating a fact.
The man above was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he said in a hoarse voice, “Hey, you’re breaking into your underground secret cave, what do you care?”
“I don’t care. It’s been two days. Where’s the food and water?” the Taoist boy asked.
At this point, I suddenly realized that I was very hungry and thirsty. I was actually waiting for Shitu to fall asleep, and two days had already passed? It seems that in the daze of approaching sleep, time has no concept at all.
“Hey, it’s okay, it’s okay.” The person in charge of communicating with me was actually very nice. He was very optimistic in the face of Dao Tongzi’s coldness and aggressiveness. As he spoke, another package was thrown down from above.
The Taoist monk seemed to have nothing more to say to him, so he picked up the package and sat back down.
The man was also embarrassed and had nothing to say… As if about to leave, Daotongzi suddenly stopped him: “You said that to get out of here, you don’t necessarily have to rely on your own strength? Sometimes it’s about fate, right?”
“Yes, that’s what I meant.” The man obviously paused again, probably not believing that the Taoist boy had guessed something.
However, I don’t know what the Taoist monk guessed. There was another awkward silence, and the Taoist monk also closed his eyes and seemed to be resting, while the person in charge of the contact seemed to have left.
My original will was in a dormant state, but at this time it could not be suppressed, and a little clarity came to me. For two days, how long has the master been waiting for me? In the process, how worried and sad was he? When I was just talking to that person, why didn’t I ask him to tell the master that I was fine?
He will tell him, right?
“Calm down.” At this time, the Taoist monk opened his eyes, and a strong will suppressed my slightly excited emotions.
Perhaps, he is not deliberately trying to devour and annihilate me… This suppression of my will only shows how different these two “I’s” are. Once they collide, it is two completely different ways of thinking and doing things, and each will become a burden to the other.
So, under this suppression, I became confused again, and I could only feel my every move, but I could not make any willful response. It was like a vegetable, whose brain could not give any command to the body.
But Daotongzi had opened the bundle. This time, the food was obviously much more plentiful. In addition to water and dried food, there was also a roasted chicken and a package of vegetables.
Dao Tongzi opened the package and carefully arranged the food. He slowly and carefully ate the food. At this time, I could feel his serious and treasured attitude. I also vaguely knew one of his quirks. During meals, he absolutely would not allow people who were not close and did not know him to watch or get close to him… because that was the only time when he was most relaxed.
Although he ate very carefully, Daotongzi ate these things at a fast pace. Soon he finished half of the food, packed it away, and took it with him.
I thought he would continue on after eating, but who knew that he would slowly enter a state of meditation. What a mysterious state this is, with no distracting thoughts, the mind completely empty, seemingly able to feel one’s own existence, seemingly not existing, completely disintegrated.
Many cultivators seek this state but cannot attain it… I never thought that Daotongzi could easily enter this realm.
In the absolute silence, I also continued to feel sleepy, and I felt my will growing weaker and weaker… I could only fall into memories to find my sense of existence. Those scenes of the past, whether happy or sad, always warmed me in this way… After all, they were traces of my own existence.
In this atmosphere, I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly the Taoist monk opened his eyes, casually straightened his clothes, and began to walk towards the two bronze gates… When he reached the fork in the main road, the Taoist monk suddenly closed his eyes.
I thought he was thinking about something. But in the end, his mind was blank, absolutely quiet, and absolutely blank.
I don’t understand why he would force his mind to be blank at this time. In fact, it is very difficult to do so. Since it is a dragon’s den and a tiger’s lair, and it is also on the third floor, isn’t it the same wherever you go?
However, at this time, Daotongzi suddenly began to choose which door to enter. His first instinct was to go to the door on the left, so he walked towards the door on the left without thinking about anything…
He pushed open the door without hesitation, and after a casual glance, he discovered that this door was different from the previous ones because there were some faint patterns on it. I don’t have a very specific understanding of whether these patterns are profound or superficial, but the Taoist boy stopped and looked at them for a long time because of this glance.
I sensed a slight surprise in his heart. As for the reason, I probably touched it because he couldn’t believe that such a pattern would appear in this place?
What kind of patterns? But the next moment, the Taoist boy was relieved, and the reason for his relief was also very strange. Since things that shouldn’t be here can appear, it’s not strange to have such patterns… And since it’s not your business, why must you always get to the bottom of things? Knowing is fate, and not knowing is also fate.
This mentality is really strange. With this calm mentality, Daotongzi resolutely pushed open the door and entered the third cave of our journey to the cave.
Here, the lighting is still dim, and it is still empty, looking like a cave with no existence… The only difference is that there are more traces of human activity here, and these traces of human activity are faintly discernible patterns.
Because of the previous mentality, the Taoist boy didn’t even look at these patterns, but went straight down with a calm heart.
Although I was in a semi-sleeping state, I could feel that the Taoist boy was walking in this cave without any defense or intention of using any magic. Even the copper coin sword he praised was hanging on his waist, swinging back and forth, and he had no intention of picking it up.
And throughout the entire process, Daotongzi didn’t even glance sideways, not even observing anything in the cave.
Perhaps he sensed my confusion, and his thoughts were slightly revealed to me… That is, we have excellent spiritual awareness, so why not use it when making a choice? His thoughts were about us, and naturally included me… It seems that before we are completely integrated, I will have to call myself “us” in my heart.
What a strange feeling! I couldn’t help but become a little more aware, and began to smile wryly… But at this time, I felt a awakening of power. At first it was very weak, as if it didn’t exist, but later… it became more and more powerful, gradually completely surpassing the Gui in terms of momentum!
As expected, the deeper I went, the more difficult the enemies became. I originally wanted to continue sleeping, but I couldn’t help but worry and became nervous.
I couldn’t understand why Tong Tong didn’t feel anything during this process… instead, he was unusually strong in suppressing my nervous and defensive mood. I thought to myself, what’s the point of these emotions? They don’t help anything.
Yes, it is useless to be nervous, but is it useless to be on guard?
At this moment, it was as if a burst of momentum suddenly exploded… Before I could react, a long howl suddenly echoed through the cave… It was a clear wolf howl, and then I saw a wolf slowly pacing from the bottom of the cave.
Before, I couldn’t tell whether it was a physical or spiritual being… because those pair of icy green eyes were too vivid.
But when the big wolf stopped, I could see clearly that it was indeed a spiritual being, and it was so lifelike that it could not be low in cultivation.
The Taoist monk was extremely calm, and after a moment of thought, he made a comment that was both vague and unconnected.
What kind of opportunity? What kind of lineage is not good? I have no idea what is going on here. I feel that there will be a wolf spirit in this cave, and the Taoist boy is actually a bit surprised, otherwise he wouldn’t have given such a comment… But what is the reason for the surprise?
I can’t see any hostility in the spirit of the wolf demon, because the wolf is gloomy, and although it is not as cunning as the fox, it should not be underestimated.
Because it is so casually standing there, it seems to have sealed off all the way forward… And although it is well suppressed, and there is no hostility, I still sensitively feel a hint of greed in it.
“Huh…” The Taoist suddenly smiled, and then he made a move that surprised me. He continued to walk toward the bottom of the cave without a care in the world, even in the face of such a secretive wolf demon.
