Chapter 159: Emperor Tengu Qin
Having lost his last relative, Zhou Chen has lost too much enthusiasm for life, and his life is chaotic, barely surviving on a meager part-time salary. Until one day, because he was careless, he was deceived of his life savings, and finally suffered a big blow, had a car accident, and died on the same day in the hospital.
When he woke up again, he came to this place, not only became younger, but also met a somewhat eccentric old man, speaking of which, this old man surnamed Jiang was very good to him, not much worse than his grandfather, but a little not very good, that is, he always liked to force him to memorize some strange books.
The names are even more varied, what "Alchemy Three Hundred", "Formation Science Encyclopedia", "Medicinal Materials Hundred Solutions", etc., as well as the "Canglan Sutra" that is now being memorized, three hundred and sixty-eight sets, tens of thousands of volumes, and occasionally some other books, which also let Zhou Chen understand a lot of things about this magical world, about the culture of this world, it can be summed up in two words - martial arts.
Everything revolves around the service of martial arts, simply put, the stronger the strength and the higher the status, the greater the benefits that can be obtained, and the weak strength is like a humble ant, the slightest carelessness will be destroyed, there is no human rights at all, the weak eat the strong, the supremacy of martial arts, in this world is vividly embodied.
From the beginning of the apprehension, worry, to now Zhou Chen has completely indifferent, because the old man Jiang did not let him out at all, and there are not so many cruel battles described in the book, but he has lived a leisurely and happy life, that is, it has been three years except for the old man Jiang, there seems to be no one here, and the other is that except for this tower, he can't go anywhere, and his freedom is somewhat restricted, although the space in this tower is extremely vast and there is everything, but he is just a little embarrassed, and wants to go out and go around, but this tower doesn't know what it is made of, obviously the gate is there, but he just can't go through, and he goes farther and farther, which makes him angry!
"You little one, you're so disobedient. ”
The light in the study suddenly dimmed, and an old man in a black robe appeared ghostly without warning, shaking his head a little helplessly, these books recorded things that countless strong people on the mainland couldn't ask for, and others would have been very red-eyed for a long time, this stinky boy was good, he didn't care at all, but he was also clamoring to go out.
"Old man Jiang.."
"Uh, ha, that teacher, master, Grandpa Jiang~~" After being glared at by the old man Jiang, Zhou Chen suddenly became honest, in the past three years, he knew that this old guy was a very terrifying existence, and he could easily toss him to death.
Jiang Rang's eyes turned to this little guy who was not much old when he came, and had grown a lot taller in just three years, a gratifying light flashed in his old eyes, for so many years, he has always been alone, respected and admired by the world, since his relatives and friends gradually died, leaving him alone in this world, he has slowly become accustomed to loneliness, the world is afraid that he respects him, and no one can talk to him so casually and cordially for a long time, until three years ago, this little guy who suddenly appeared around the Star Saint Cave Heaven for some reason appeared, which added some temperature to this vicissitudes of life。
I don't know when, this old man has gradually regarded this cheap disciple as his own grandson-like existence, sometimes people's feelings are so peculiar, some people have been with them for thousands of years, and they are still like that, but some people, just a few years, can build a relationship of mutual dependence.
Thinking of this, Jiang Rang's eyes softened, remembering that when his grandson was still alive, he used to be coquettish in front of him like this, unwilling to work hard, sighed slightly, and heard Zhou Chen say: "Grandpa Jiang, when did you teach me the real martial arts practice, you didn't let me go anywhere every day, and you also let me read, it's too boring..."
"Study hard, and I'll teach you. Jiang Rang said with a smile, and this sentence suddenly made Zhou Chen roll his eyes, because this old guy had said this more than ten times.
Zhou Chen gritted his teeth and grabbed the old man's arm, shaking it desperately, as if he was angry and as if he was playing tricks on the elders: "Old guy, I want to go out!!! You also lock me up in this tower, I'm about to grow grass!!"
Jiang Rang was still smiling.
The grandfather and grandson laughed for a while, Jiang Rang finally reluctantly compromised, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a loud bang that shook the sky!
Zhou Chen's face turned pale, as if he had been greatly impacted, and Old Man Jiang rarely put away his usual smiling face at this moment, and a trace of seriousness climbed up the old cheeks.
"It's finally here. Old man Jiang muttered softly, the vibration had stopped at this moment, he slowly turned his head, returned to his smiling appearance, looked at Zhou Chen with a blank face, groaned slightly, and said, "Chen'er..."
Zhou Chen seemed to have a premonition of something, and looking at Old Man Jiang's smiling face, his face turned a little paler.
For some reason, an inexplicable sourness welled up in his heart, and Zhou Chen intuitively felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Old Man Jiang's state at the moment, and there was a huge shock just now, as if the whole world was trembling, afraid that something big was about to happen.
The last time I felt this way was in a class at university, when he suddenly felt trembling, and it didn't take long for the news that his grandfather had terminal cancer.
This time...
Zhou Chen's lips were pursed, his body trembled slightly, his teeth were strained, and a trace of blood was left along the corners of his mouth, and when he spoke again, the originally clear young man's voice had become as hoarse as an old man in the twilight: "Grandpa Jiang... Teacher..."
The feeling of ominousness is getting stronger.
Old man Jiang smiled kindly, and gently touched the head of the young man in front of him with his dry palm, as if he saw Zhou Chen's thoughts, and smiled easily: "It's okay, old friends have come to the door, old man, I have to meet them, but..."
He paused, then continued: "Before that, I have to send you away, don't worry, cry something... Old man, I'm strong, I'm definitely going to be fine, but you, if you leave my protection in the future, you must be cautious on the mainland... Old man, I don't want you to become stronger, just live well, as long as you live, grandpa will come to you sooner or later, live well!"
"I..." Zhou Chen choked up, people are not plants and trees, after getting along for so long, he gradually overlapped Jiang Rang with a kind figure in his memory.
But now, this person he regarded as dependent on seems to be leaving him again, as before...
He wanted to say that he was not leaving, he was going to stay.
However, when the words came to his mouth, he felt full of bitterness, now he knew a lot more about this world than when he first came, and he vaguely knew that Jiang Rang's strength had reached a level that he could not imagine, so how strong would the strength of the "old friend" in his mouth be? Zhou Chen knew that if he stayed, it would only distract Grandpa Jiang.
Zhou Chen took a deep breath, raised his hand to wipe his tears, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said to the smiling old man in front of him: "I listen to you, you must come to me, but I will not choose to be an ordinary person, I want to become stronger, so strong that my reputation spreads throughout the continent, when the time comes, you will solve the trouble, and after a little inquiry, you will be able to find me, you must come to me... Grandpa Jiang, grandpa... I don't want to lose my loved ones anymore..."
