Volume 1, The Source of the Magic Chapter 27, The Strange Old Man
The old man had gray hair, his face was a little ruddy, he was wearing a brown cloth coat, his left hand was thin and marked, and he was holding a cane in his left hand, and his right sleeve was hanging weakly and empty.
"Thank you, old man!" Bing Mengchen turned over, flipped over the big net, and fell to the ground.
The old man looked at Bing Mengchen with a smile and said, "You just go deep into the wilderness like this, you are quite bold!"
"Huh?" Bing Mengchen was stunned for a moment, looked back, and found that he had flown over the demarcation net, and had to smile innocently for a while.
"But old man, why are you here?" Bing Mengchen suddenly reacted.
The old man turned around and pointed to a wooden house not far away, and said, "I'm a railman!"
"Ahh But the old man didn't care, and said with a smile.
"Didn't you become an adventurer before you were twelve years old?"
Bing Mengchen was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, how do you know my real age! β
The old man narrowed his eyes and said mysteriously, "It's a secret. β
"The hosts. Mo Xuehan picked up the small bones, stood beside the sound of Bing Mengchen, and looked at the old man vigilantly.
"What's wrong?" Bing Mengchen asked suspiciously.
Mo Xuehan said in a low voice: "This old man is very strong. β
"Yo, why didn't you see such a beautiful subhuman just now!" Although the old man squinted his eyes, he did not have the slightest old appearance, but was extremely energetic.
Hearing the old man say this, Mo Xuehan subconsciously hid behind Bing Mengchen.
"The subhuman cat-eared Mo. The old man looked at Mo Xuehan and said casually, "The women of the Mo clan have the constitution of the spirit congenital, and they can predict the future and sense their fate with the dead, even worse. β
"Hiss-" Hearing the old man say this, Mo Xuehan's whole body hair instantly stood up, and a touch of blood red appeared in the silver-white pupils.
"Don't be impulsive!" the old man smiled softly, and the wooden crutches gently clubbed the ground, making a metallic sound as crisp.
Dingββ
The blood red of Mo Xuehan's whole body faded, and his body collapsed like a detachment. Fortunately, even if he was picked up by Bing Mengchen.
"What's going on?" Bing Mengchen said suddenly, as if talking to himself, as if asking Mo Xuehan or the old man again.
"Who the hell are you?" Mo Xuehan looked at the old man with hostility. This may be the first time since Bing Mengchen met Mo Xuehan and was ignored by Mo Xuehan.
The old man shrugged his shoulders slightly and said self-deprecatingly: "A person who has lived too long!"
"Come, let's go into the house and talk!" said the old man abruptly, and walked towards the wooden house not far away.
Mo Xuehan looked at Bing Mengchen this time, as if asking for his consent. Bing Mengchen shrugged his shoulders and picked up the small bone full of resentment that had fallen to the ground again.
Inside the cabin, there was a simple wooden bed with a straw mat, and a small wooden table and a few small wooden benches were placed next to the bed.
The old man sat on the bed, while Mo Xuehan took two wooden stools, put one for Bing Mengchen, sat on one by himself, and gathered around the wooden table.
"Grandpa, can I put something on the table?" asked Bing Mengchen.
The old man nodded.
Then, Ice Mengchen put the scattered small bones on the table.
Looking at the scattered bones on the table, the old man's expression seemed to become extremely solemn in an instant, or not.
"What is this?" asked the old man with a smile.
"Old man, this is my demon, whose name is Little Bone. Bing Mengchen replied as he assembled the bone. This is Mo Xuehan speaking.
"Why do you know our family's secrets?"
The old man smiled and replied, "Didn't I say it? I've lived too long." β
"Huh?" Mo Xuehan was stunned.
"I had a relationship with your Grandmother Lie, and your family's ability was not a secret at that time. The old man seemed to be recalling something.
"Do you know grandma?" Mo Xuehan was startled and looked at the old man in disbelief.
"There was a one-sided relationship. The old man didn't know why he wanted to emphasize it.
"Well, I'll go get out, there's a leg bone missing. Bing Mengchen pointed to the small bone on the table that was obviously missing a leg bone. Then, he turned and walked out the door.
"Can you tell me about grandma?" After Bing Mengchen went out, Mo Xuehan asked the old man. The old man narrowed his eyes and said, "Of course you can, but I don't know much. But back then, your grandmother was as beautiful as you.
At that time, I was just going on a mission on the grassland, and when I met your Grandmother Lie, she was already a witch......"
After a while, Bing Mengchen finally found Xiao Gu's leg bone, and the old man's story was nearing the end.
Bing Mengchen entered the door and sat down on the stool, and then installed the missing leg bone on Xiao Gu. The little bones with big legs were obviously very excited, and kept running in the small wooden house. I accidentally tripped over the table leg and pounced on the old man.
Bing Mengchen was startled, but saw that the old man stretched out his left hand and flicked it gently, and the small bones floated in the air.
Then, a golden magic burst out of the old man's palm and injected it into Xiao Gu's body. Bing Mengchen was startled at first, but when he saw the small bones that seemed extremely comfortable, he found that the magic power of the old man was very similar to the magic of the small bones, but it didn't seem to be as thick as the small bones.
"Grandpa, what are you doing here?" asked Bing Mengchen puzzled.
The old man smiled and said nothing, just continued to inject energy into the small bones. Gradually, the old man's face turned pale, which made Bing Mengchen jump.
"Grandpa, what the hell are you doing!" Bing Mengchen panicked, wanting to stop the old man, but when he found that he couldn't move. And Mo Xuehan on the side also looked at the old man with a complicated face, just now she remembered one thing, that is, her grandmother was used to be a saint more than 5,000 years ago, and her grandmother used taboos to survive. But how did the old man in front of him survive?
Suddenly, an unusual flush appeared on the old man's pale face, and then the old man spurted out a mouthful of golden blood. And some of the blood got on the bones, and then they were strangely absorbed by the bones.
The old man suddenly looked out the window, and then waved his hand casually, wiping the golden blood from the room.
"Grandpa?" Bing Mengchen couldn't understand what was going on, but the golden blood surprised Bing Mengchen very much.
The old man smiled reluctantly, then took out a blue egg the size of a watermelon out of nowhere and handed it to Bing Mengchen. Then he said, "Your parents have gone to another world, don't worry, and this is your sister." By the way, don't let your Emana overconsume it. β
Bing Mengchen took the egg in confusion and was about to ask something.
Then I saw that the old man was reacting with a wave of his left hand, and he was already holding the egg and Mo Xuehan Xiaogu in a forest next to a big road.
At this time, Bing Mengchen remembered that the old man said that he was the keeper of the tracks, but there didn't seem to be any rails in sight next to the wooden house. No, oneself but why didn't I feel wrong.
Bing Mengchen subconsciously looked at Mo Xuehan, but found that she was as confused as herself. Behind him, the bones of the small bones appear more smooth and white.
At this time, Bing Mengchen thought of the old man's last sentence and muttered, "Another world?"
Then, Bing Mengchen looked at the watermelon-sized light blue egg with a weird shell in his hand, and said suspiciously, "My sister?"
It's somewhere in the forest, and it's not somewhere in the forest.
In a small wooden room, the old man was sitting on the bed, and several men in white missionary clothes suddenly appeared in front of him. The man in charge was about to say something, but was stopped by the old man.
"Go to the Dark Mountain Range, the Demon Tide is coming soon, and it is estimated that it will be much more ferocious than in the past few years. I'm going to sleep for a while. β
"Yes!" replied reverently, before vanishing into thin air.
The old man slowly lay down on the bed, looked at the wooden roof, and said to himself, "Old dragon, old dragon, your grandson is really wonderful! But it's okay, otherwise, if the seal is lifted in a few years, it will be troublesome.
This time to strengthen the seal, it should be able to resist for hundreds of years! That guy's infiltration is getting more and more serious, but it is impossible for him to succeed without thousands of years.
I found it, the reincarnation of the Underworld, and I remember that he liked to raise the bar with you the most, but he was afraid of you.
Your daughter has gone outside with your son-in-law. Your son-in-law's potential is good, but he is too weak. But I have to say that your daughter is really amazing, and she has recovered almost half of her in just a few decades. It's really amazing just because of my crippled spirituality! Even I can't hide it......"
As he spoke, the old man suddenly paused and said, "How nice it would be if you were still alive? I feel that the Lord is about to return, and the Lord is about to take back his authority." It will definitely ...... then."
The voice was suddenly interrupted, and the old man fell asleep while talking.
As the old man fell asleep, the cabin mysteriously disappeared, seemingly disappearing along with the space. The space is strangely filled with vacancies, and it is impossible to guess that there was once a log cabin here.
On the other side, Bing Mengchen was holding the egg and heading in the direction of the Shura Guild, but he really couldn't figure out what the old man was doing.
However, what made Bing Mengchen happy was that Xiao Gu's energy had increased hundreds of times, but this also made Bing Mengchen very confused.
And Mo Xuehan quietly followed behind Bing Mengchen, also thinking about something.
The sun had been setting for a while, and Bing Mengchen had also returned to the Shura Guild, Ni Shiqing and the others had returned, but he found that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the union, and it seemed a little gloomy.
Could it be that the union's assessment was not successful? Bing Mengchen couldn't help but think.
"Eldest sister, why did you cancel the assessment, you were afraid of the demon tide this year and didn't make the assessment, aren't you afraid next year?" Ah Gang, who was carrying the giant sword, complained.
"Ah Gang, it's okay for you to say a few words!, the eldest sister is also for our good. Eldest sister, isn't he also worried about this?" the green-haired Ah Shan pushed Ah Gang.
"I understand the truth, but we adventurers can't be afraid! Do you see the way other people look at us? It's clear that we're cowards!"
Bing Mengchen looked at all this in a daze, a little confused. This is Aisha leaning over and looking at the egg in Bing Mengchen's hand and asking, "You want to eat this at night?"
"I can't eat it, it's my sister'......"
Bing Mengchen replied subconsciously.
