Chen Le took a closer look, only to find that it was an old man squatting in front of the brazier, burning paper money.

The old man was dressed in a plain cotton coat, he looked a little bloated, his white hair was pale, and his calloused hands that stretched out slightly in the cold wind were a little shivering from the cold wind, but he still threw the paper money into the brazier, and looked at the center of the pit with a reverent look.

Moreover, Chen Le found that this old man had seen it himself, it was the convenience store owner at the entrance of the village, and he had only bought salt, soy sauce and other things in his small convenience store not long ago.

Finding that someone was approaching, the old man turned his head to look at Chen Le, smiled at Chen Le and smiled, "Oh, it's you, those new college students are here today, and you haven't slept yet." ”

"Well, I heard that this round pit is also quite famous, so I came to take a look. ”

Chen Le said, looking at the brazier in front of the old man, "Are you here to worship your relatives?"

Saying this, a confused look flashed in the old man's eyes, and he sighed softly and said, "A stranger." ”

"Strangers?"

Chen Le didn't understand why he wanted to burn paper money for a stranger.

The old man did not answer, but continued to stretch out his trembling hand, and handed the paper money into the brazier, and the light of the fire reflected his slightly sad face.

Chen Le saw that the old man was a little struggling to stretch out his hand, so he also squatted down and said, "Old man, if you don't dislike it, I'll help you burn some." ”

The old man thought about it, glanced at Chen Le again, noticed the friendliness in Chen Le's eyes, and handed the paper money in his hand to Chen Ledao, "I'm old, it's useless, I think back then, I was the fastest man in our village, and now I can't even stretch my hands to burn paper." ”

Chen Le smiled and took the paper money, and then put the paper money into the brazier one by one.

The old man stood up tremblingly with a cane, maybe he had been squatting for too long, just stood up, and almost fell down again, it took a little effort to barely stabilize his body, just holding on to his crutches, standing aside, watching Chen Le throw the paper money into the brazier.

After pondering for a long time, he said quietly, "Young man, you came here to see the crater, but you may be disappointed, this is not a crater, this is a tomb, a ...... The cemetery where my benefactor is buried!"

"Cemetery?" Chen Le looked at the old man suspiciously.

The old man shook his head lightly and said, "You won't believe it." ”

Having said that, probably because some words had been held in his heart for too long, the old man still muttered, "Actually, I don't know what the other party's name is, why it's here, just one night a few decades ago, I saw a fire here from a distance, and I thought it was on fire here, so I ran here with the fastest foot in the village to take a look." ”

"In the forest, it is normal to have forest fires often, and if he doesn't care about it, he will extinguish it himself, but some small animals will suffer, so I will come over and want to help put out the fire. ”

"I kept running close to find out where the forest fire was, this was a bunch of people fighting, or more accurately, a bunch of people in black clothes were besieging a big man. ”

"I've never seen such powerful people in my life, can those really be considered human? really, it's terrible. ”

The old man shook his head again and again, a little fear flashed in his eyes, and he sighed again and again, "Those people are really too cruel, too cruel, a group of people are flashing around, flying around, and where they pass, there is not a single grass." ”

"I was so scared that I collapsed on the ground and forgot to run away. ”

When I reacted, a man in black suddenly jumped in front of me, and slapped me, and before the hand was close to me, I felt that my heart was bursting, and at this moment, it was the benefactor who suddenly flashed in front of me, blocking the palm, and letting the palm deviate behind me, and all the trees behind me were blown into the sky. ”

The old man said this, smirking self-deprecatingly, "It's funny, don't you think I'm telling a mythological story?" ”

Chen Le smiled and said, "No, I think you're telling the truth, old man. ”

This surprised the old man, but he looked at Chen Le twice and said with emotion, "The people in the village think I'm telling myths and stories." ”

Then the benefactor grabbed me and said, "This is not the place where you should come, and his hand is so powerful that it is like catching a chicken, and he lifted me up and threw me out a hundred meters away, and what is even more amazing is that when I landed, there was no injury at all." ”

"But the benefactor was attacked from behind by a man who was impaled through the body by a sword because he had saved me, and there was a big man who held a stone the size of a house with both hands and smashed it on his head, and this was the last sight I saw. ”

When the old man said this, he sighed with embarrassment, "If it wasn't for saving me, if I hadn't come to see it at that time, maybe the ending would have been different." ”

"I don't know who he is, I don't know why he saved me, if I had been slapped at that time, I might have broken my bones, and I can't repay the grace of saving my life, and then, every year on this day, I will come here to worship him. ”

This worship is decades.

This also made Chen Le quite emotional, thinking to himself, that is chivalry, it is an ancestor, in order to save a stranger he never knows, an ordinary villager......

It's no wonder that Miss Night would let herself come here to see this ancestor.

Just from the residual qi here, you can feel that he must have been a great person before.

"I kept telling the people in the village, but no one believed me, they thought it was a fire pit hit by a meteorite. ”

The old man said with some excitement, "I, I just think, come here every year to pay respects, one is to thank the benefactor, and the other is also, if I can meet the benefactor's relatives, children, I also want to say thank you to him, and at the same time let the people in the village know that I am not lying, let alone seeing ghosts." ”

As he spoke, Chen Le had already seriously thrown the last piece of paper money into the brazier, then stood up, looked at the old man and said, "You don't know the other party's name, how can you tell if someone is the other party's child or relative?"

The old man slowly took out a relatively old piece of paper from his arms, and gently opened the white paper with his old and trembling hands, "This is the portrait of my benefactor, I have painted hundreds of them, this one is the most like, I think it is a relative, I will definitely be able to recognize it." ”

Chen Lejiao took a look and found that this was a sketch drawn with a black and white brush, which was indeed lifelike, and it could be clearly seen that this was a burly and powerful predecessor, with a pair of eagle-like eyes, a straight nose, broad lips, and a look between the eyebrows.

The old man asked, as usual, with some expectation, "Do you know him, or where have you seen his portrait or something?"

Chen Le shook his head and replied, "I don't know, I've never seen it." ”

"Really?"

The old man didn't know how many times he had asked, and he nodded habitually in frustration.

After Chen Le finished speaking, he felt a strange gaze, and looked at it, only to find that Yuan Bingyao didn't know when he had come to this vicinity, so he was standing dozens of meters away and looking at his side.

It may be that he found himself looking at her, and the other party immediately turned his head to the other side.

Naturally, the old man also found out, and chuckled, "It seems that your friend has come to you." ”

Chen Le smiled and said, "It's not looking for me, she should have come out to play by herself,...... But I still have to watch her a little bit to avoid anything happening. ”

"Well, there you go," the old man nodded.

"Do you need me to send you back?"

"No, it's only a few hundred meters, I'm used to it. ”

"Well, well. ”

After Chen Le finished speaking, he walked towards Yuan Bingyao, but, after taking a few steps, remembered, turned back to the old man and asked, "By the way, old man, although I don't know him, I can also help you inquire about his family, do you have any clues, what strange characteristics he has, or what other words he said at that time, they can be used as clues." ”

"Features?"

The old man frowned and thought about it, then shook his head, "At that time, I just looked at it twice,...... That's it, say it's not where I'm supposed to be, and I'm thrown out. ”

"That's right. ”

Chen Le smiled bitterly, "Then I'll go back and think about it." ”

It was only a few steps before I heard the old man suddenly shout, "By the way, I heard him yelling from a distance." ”

"Ah, what did you say?"

"Remember, what are you talking about, the land of the dragon soul cannot be defiled, the black codex, I want you to pay for your blood today! Let's go to hell together!"

These words made Chen Le's heart startled, and he blurted out and asked, "What, black...... Codex? Are you sure?"

“......”
