Wei Huo closed his eyes and stroked the divine nail carefully. Gradually, he felt an extremely powerful energy. At the same time, he felt the direction in which the energy was flowing. The huge energy came from the west and went to the east like a huge river. The divine nail seemed to have dug a hole on the side of the river, and the river water would flow out through the hole and nourish the earth. Wei Huo closed his eyes and stroked the divine nail carefully.
The effects of the Dragon Qi were extraordinary. If someone cultivated there, they would get twice the results with half the effort. However, it was useless against Wei Huo.
The Dragon Qi nourished everything and represented the power of life. Wei Huo walked the Dao of Nirvana, which represented the power of death. That was why the Dragon Qi was useless against Wei Huo.
However, the Dragon Qi was still very useful. Wei Huo planned to return after he successfully obtained the Ruyi Pagoda. It would definitely be useful to collect some Dragon Qi!
Wei Huo looked at the Divine Nail and indicated that he would come back again. When the time came, he would explore the depths of the rift valley and find out the source of the weird sound. However, it was time for him to go back now.
Wei Huo followed the chain and soon returned to the Dragon Lock Well. After entering the cave, he started pulling the chain down.
The chain kept being pulled down and blocked the hole. The water in the well finally stopped flowing up. Wei Huo moved the chain to the bottom of the well and blocked the hole before swimming up. Wei Huo's eyes widened as he looked at Wei Huo.
When Wei Huo swam out of the water, he saw the intact pagoda and the wet ground. Wei Huo walked out of the pagoda and realized that the sky had cleared up.
Wei Huo immediately understood that his pulling of the chain had caused the Dragon Qi to rush into the sky and form a Dragon Qi Rain. The rain nourished the ground and brought life to all living things.
Wei Huo returned to the temple. The ground was very wet, and there were puddles everywhere. The eaves of the temple kept dripping water, and loud shouts kept coming from the temple.
Wei Huo walked over and saw the old monk practicing his fist technique. However, this time, his fist technique was very unusual. It was fierce, tough, and murderous. The old monk's gaze was sharp, and every punch was filled with endless killing intent. It was as if he was not a respectable, peaceful, and benevolent monk, but a general with a murderous aura.
Wei Huo watched for a while before the system sent him a notification. "You've learned the Eight Extremes Fist (Incomplete)."
It was actually the Eight Extremities Fist. No wonder it was so ferocious. Moreover, looking at the old monk's appearance, he was already extremely familiar with this fist technique and had even condensed his own fist intent!
Wei Huo frowned when he saw a murderous aura surrounding the old monk's choice. It even formed a circle. He was very familiar with this scene. It was clearly a pseudo-imposing aura, a murderous aura!
Who was this old monk?
The old monk punched out and a murderous aura spread out, blowing the leaves of the Dragon Head Tree.
The old monk was already half a step away from the Epic stage.
After he finished a set of punches, he slowly stopped. At that moment, Wei Huo walked in. "Master, you don't seem right today!"
The old monk took a deep breath and said, "The world seems to have changed!"
Wei Huo asked, "Master, have you gone down the mountain?"
The old monk shook his head. "I didn't go down the mountain, but the well water gushed out and flowed down from a small mountain, drowning the earth. Such a huge thing happened, but no one went up the mountain to check. Something huge must have happened in the outside world!"
Wei Huo saw that the old monk had packed his luggage and asked, "Are you leaving, Master?"
The old monk nodded. "I want to go back to my hometown to take a look. I've been away from home for so long. It's time for me to go back!"
Wei Huo asked again, "Master, who are you?"
The old monk sighed, "You caused such a huge phenomenon in the Dragon Lock Well, and you actually came back alive. It seems like you're not an ordinary person, so I'll tell you the truth. Actually, I'm a wanted criminal!"
Wei Huo was not surprised. He had expected this. The old monk was covered in tattoos and had such a murderous aura when he was practicing. He must have been a gangster. The reason he had become a monk was probably to hide from his enemies or the police. The old monk looked into the distance.
The old monk looked into the distance. "I left home when I was very young. Back then, I traveled with a circus and learned martial arts. However, I had never fought with anyone. After seven or eight years, I earned some money and was prepared to return home. But my entire family was killed and the murderer was still on the loose. In a fit of rage, I killed seven people and nearly died myself. Later, I was saved and became the bodyguard of a big shot in the underworld. Five years later, the big shot was killed and I escaped. I came here and was saved by the old master in the temple. Then, I became a monk and have lived until today."
I was saved by the old master in the temple and became a monk until today. "The old monk's tone was calm. His story did not seem to have ups and downs. He had experienced the two most dangerous calamities in his life, but he had also been lucky enough to learn fist techniques. Several life-and-death battles had tempered his willpower, but there had been too many calamities. In the end, he could only escape. However, perhaps he was not fated to die.
He had been saved by the old monk of this temple and became a young monk. Time flew, and the old monk died.
The old monk smiled at Wei Huo and said, "To be honest, at first, I thought you were a young plainclothes policeman who had come to investigate me. However, I saw age and coldness in your eyes, as well as mountains of corpses and seas of blood. At that time, I guessed that the world might have really changed. It wasn't until you went to the Dragon Lock Well and caused such a huge commotion that the relevant departments came to investigate that I was convinced that the world had really changed!"
Wei Huo did not say anything. He knew that it was not that the old monk did not want to leave, but that he did not dare leave the mountain. He was wanted, and his enemies were chasing him everywhere. He had no choice!
The old monk sank into his memories. "I still remember the stone river I stepped on barefoot. I still remember the loach I caught in the mud pond. I still remember the ridge I dug to dig out crabs. Time flies, and my old friends have left. Time flies, my old friends have left, and there may be no one in this world who remembers me. But I still want to return to my roots, to see if the people I care about are still alive, to see if my enemies are dead. Only then can I let go of my regrets and set foot on the final path.
Wei Huo felt the old monk's will. He was about to step into the Epic stage, but he was not sure if he could succeed. That was why he wanted to return to his hometown and end his regrets. He wanted to cut off everything in the past. Only then could he embark on the final path.
In the end, the old monk, who had claimed that he would not move no matter how the outside world changed, left the mountain. He left the temple to Wei Huo alone.
However, Wei Huo left in the end, leaving the empty temple behind.
