Chapter 20: The Strange Old Man
Weird old man
The dense fog on the top of the cliff was heavy, and the surrounding white expanse, the old man waved his hand, and the dense fog dispersed one after another, and then put down the starry sky, and the starry sky that had lost its restraint looked around.
The cliff is located on a high level, with an unobstructed view of the surrounding mountains, surrounded by cliffs, and a few geese flying over from time to time.
There are a few towering trees standing on the cliff, straight through the top of the clouds, many strange flowers and plants growing on the ground, the breeze blows, exudes bursts of fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.
"Boy, have you seen enough, have you seen enough, get me in" The old man's voice suddenly came.
At this time, the starry sky noticed that a hole appeared on the edge of the cliff, and the old man's voice came from the cave.
Starry Sky looked at the entrance of the cave, and then looked around, obviously there was no way but to enter the cave head-on.
The inside of the cave is completely different from the outside, it is a cave dug by man, with a large space and hard stone walls throughout.
There are strange flowers and plants growing on the stone wall, and there is a slight green light, illuminating the entire cave, and the sunlight at the entrance of the cave shines into the whole space is extraordinarily bright, and the strange flowers and plants exude a quiet taste, which makes people calm and relaxed, and the whole body is comfortable.
In the middle was a large stove, and on the side was a futon, on which the old man sat cross-legged. There were three or four smaller doors around the cave, each of which was tightly closed.
"I'll have time to see it in the future, now come and tell me what your name is, why did you come to Danyun Cliff?"
The old man looked at the starry sky and opened his mouth lightly, his tone was calm, and he didn't have the anger just now.
"The boy's name is Nightfall, and he was originally a hunter under the mountain, but because he lost his way and had no intention of breaking in, he hoped that his predecessors would forgive him."
Starry Sky looked at this strange old man and didn't tell the truth.
I thought to myself, this old man is very weird, and his methods are clever, listening to his tone, it seems that he is unwilling to let himself go, is it because he destroyed what he said. Could it be that he is the immortal that Grandpa Gu said in his mouth? This is too inconsequential, how can an immortal look like this?
"At such a young age, he is so cunning, and he wants to prevaricate in a few words, hum." After the old man finished speaking, he looked directly at the starry sky, and a fine light shot towards him.
Suddenly, Xingkong felt like a little girl without clothes, everything on his body was seen through by the old man, and he couldn't raise the slightest strength to resist. The starry sky was shocked, and beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down the river, looking nervous.
"Senior, I ......".
The old man interrupted the starry sky and withdrew his gaze at the same time.
"Yes, you have such a cultivation at a young age, you are worthy of being a star god, the deity is not wrong, you should have been instructed by someone to come to Danyun Cliff to find opportunities, even the name you just said is fake, tsk, good, good seedlings, hehe"
The old man stared at the starry sky, and said in a strange way, the starry sky was full of sluggishness and horror.
This strange old man seems to be able to see through everything, and he still calls himself a deity, who would call himself like this? Coupled with the old man's powerful means, the starry sky concluded that the old man in front of him should be the immortal that Grandpa Gu said.
"Well, since you don't want to say it, forget it, then let me ask you, what means did you use to break my Thousand Spirit Phantom Cloud Array just now, it should be the small wooden sword in your arms."
The old man didn't wait for the starry sky to speak, and waved his hand.
"Disease".
In an instant, the small wooden sword flew out of the arms of the starry sky, and in the blink of an eye, it was already in the hands of the old man.
Starry Sky looked at the old man, powerless to resist, and watched the old man take the wooden sword.
From the moment he saw the old man, the old man was strange everywhere, and what he said in his mouth was unheard of in the starry sky, and the old man was moody. Starry Sky looked at the old man quietly, his heart full of anger.
"Give it to me".
When the wooden sword reached the old man's hand, it shook violently, as if it wanted to struggle out.
The old man raised his right hand and shot out a green light, instantly wrapping the wooden sword, and the wooden sword that had been struggling for a moment returned to calm, and the old man looked at the wooden sword carefully.
"Give it back to me"
Starry Sky mustered up his courage and wanted to step forward to retrieve the wooden sword.
"Be quiet, don't bother me".
The old man pointed at the starry sky, and the starry sky was instantly restrained, unable to even make a sound, his eyes were wide open, emitting angry flames, staring at the old man in front of him.
"The Seven-Star Demon Sword, sure enough, is the Seven-Star Demon Sword, the catastrophe hundreds of thousands of years ago really exists, the Seven Stars gather, the world is in chaos...".
The strange old man seemed to be much older all of a sudden, and Nan Nan said in his mouth.
After a moment, the old man stared back at the starry sky, his eyes full of murderous intent.
Starry Sky immediately felt that he could speak, but his body was still unable to move, and he was about to speak.
"Tell me what is the purpose of your cultivation?".
The strange old man suddenly asked an inexplicable word, his tone became a little heavier, and the strength around him became stronger, as if he was ready to kill the starry sky at any time.
At this moment, the starry sky was in a panic, watching the old man's killing intent fully displayed, but there was nothing he could do.
After thinking for a moment, Starry Sky Mouth hurriedly spoke:
"I didn't think about any purpose, I just wanted to cultivate with the heart of a child, and one day, set foot at the peak of martial arts, and use my own strength to protect my clansmen.
At this moment, the starry sky was as flat as water, his face was full of perseverance, and the color of panic was gone, and a mighty righteousness manifested from the top of the starry sky.
"Everything is an ant, and it will eventually end up in a pile of loess, a wisp of white bones, birth, old age, sickness and death, it is a foregone conclusion. Even if you have practiced for thousands of years and stood on the top of the Nine Heavens, you will inevitably be lonely, and everyone around you will leave, leaving only sadness, what is the meaning of cultivation in what you do?"
The old man's words are mysterious and exciting.
"Everything is an ant, nothing more than a pile of loess, a way to practice, a thousand difficulties, fighting with people, fighting with the sky, in order to seek the Tao, sacrificing their family affection and loneliness to find a breakthrough, and eventually one person, why bother and mourn? Starry Sky Nannan Road.
At this moment, the starry sky was sluggish, his eyes were blank, and he looked very confused.
"Idiot, don't wake up yet, at a young age, why is there so much sentimentality."
Seeing that the starry sky was depressed, the old man shouted loudly. The starry sky woke up from the confusion in an instant, his face was pale, and he was afraid for a while. If it weren't for the old man's drinking, I am afraid that he would have lost his Dao heart, and there would be no possibility of a breakthrough in his life.
"Are you willing to worship me as a teacher and practice with me?"
After a long time, the old man withdrew his momentum, looked at the starry sky, and said seriously.
"Ah, apprentice?".
Starry Sky was startled by the old man's sudden question.
