Chapter 294 [The Past Disappears Like Smoke]
Mu Feng's face changed greatly, and he was quite shocked in his heart, he didn't expect this guy to turn his face when he said it, in the face of the billowing black smoke, even if Mu Fengdang reacted, Mu Feng's reaction ability after so many life-and-death battles was amazingly fast.
In this small space, the black smoke has covered the entire cave, and it is obviously unrealistic to use Taixu to escape at this moment, and at this moment, the right hand is stretched out from the sleeve robe, and the left hand is stretched forward, and the soul qi in the body gushes out in front of him, forming a soul qi shield.
With a handful of his right hand in the air, the bright golden light of the spirit rhino pierced the black smoke that had swept in, and the dazzling golden light instantly illuminated the cave, seeing that the black smoke was devouring his soul qi shield, Mu Feng frowned, and the spirit rhino swept over, tearing the thick black smoke in front of him.
"Spirit!!" Through the crack in the torn black smoke, Mu Feng saw that the face of the old man who was a few meters away from him changed greatly, and his eyes were full of shock, looking at the Spirit Rhino Golden Sword in his hand and exclaiming.
Hearing the surprised voice of the old man in the gradually healing black smoke, Mu Feng's heart also trembled, seeing that the black smoke had surrounded him, and the darkness was shrouded in an instant, Mu Feng was about to launch the Sanqing Sword Style to trigger the frequency of the Spirit Rhino Swing to solve the crisis in front of him, and the thick black smoke billowing around him gradually began to dissipate.
It was not so much dissipation as it was being sucked into the body by the old man in front of him, forming a huge black vortex in front of Mu Feng, and after a while, it disappeared completely, and the empty cave returned to its previous appearance, where there was still a little black smoke!
Seeing this, Mu Feng was even more puzzled, and after dispelling the soul qi shield in his hand that had become extremely thin after being swallowed by the black qi, he stood in front of the old man with a frown in his hand and stared at him.
"I ask you, how did the spirit rhino come about?" When the old man inhaled all the black smoke into his body, there was no change, he still looked like he was dying, and his eyes changed from empty and godless at the beginning to extremely sharp and direct looking at Mu Feng.
Mu Feng was shocked, and immediately took a small step back, this strange and terrifying old man in front of him could actually recognize the spirit rhino at a glance, which really surprised Mu Feng, from which it can be judged that he definitely came from before the Kaiyuan War, Mu Feng really didn't expect that the Kaiyuan War had been more than three hundred years ago, and there were still people who survived to this day, let alone in the holy land of Qingxuanzong.
"Answer me!" Just when Mu Feng was surprised, the old man in front of him suddenly became furious, and almost in the blink of an eye, he came to Mu Feng.
Before Mu Feng had time to react, he stretched out his dry and blackened hand and grabbed Mu Feng's arm, and the whole hand actually passed through the faint golden light curtain of the Lingxi and held Mu Feng's wrist like this.
Mu Feng was shocked, the sword qi emitted by Lingxi didn't pose the slightest threat to him, not only that, but the wrist he grabbed at this moment felt like he could easily crush his bones as long as he used a force, making him unable to move.
"Where the hell did the spirit rhino come from!!" The old man in front of him was already angry, almost crazy, and didn't give Mu Feng a chance to speak at all, and asked him angrily.
Seeing the old man in front of him so excited, Mu Feng complained bitterly in his heart, the severe pain in his wrist made him soon lose consciousness in his entire right hand, and the spirit rhino gradually dissipated, and finally became invisible.
"Former ~ senior ~ you have to give me a chance to speak~ right?" Mu Feng was sweating all over his body, and said with difficulty as he endured the sharp pain in his wrist.
And the old man seemed to realize Mu Feng's situation at this moment, and after snorting coldly, he shook off Mu Feng's wrist, and Mu Feng was directly pushed to the ground by the huge thrust.
Before Mu Feng could get up, the old man looked at him with angry eyes, "What's wrong with Mei Ji?" Where's Magi? ”
Mu Feng, who was struggling to stand up from the ground, heard the word Meiji, and immediately trembled, got up and looked at the old man with a shocked face, only to feel a little cold in his back and dry throat, and he was so surprised that he was a little speechless, could it be that the old man in front of him was the owner of the Lingxi?
"You~ You are the god of heaven who descended from the Kaiyuan War?" Thinking of this, Mu Fengdang's eyes widened and exclaimed.
"You know me?" Facing Mu Feng's surprise question, the old man's angry and excited expression was also stunned, and then his voice became much softer.
"The spirit rhino is invisible, and it is due to the spirit rhino, so the predecessors should not be the owner of the spirit rhino, right?" Seeing that the old man gradually calmed down, Mu Feng also exhaled in his heart, in order to prevent him from suddenly turning his face again, Mu Feng also took a few steps back and was ready to fight at any time.
The old man's expression was solemn and low, and after a while, he looked up at Mu Feng and said in a deep voice, "Since you know this, you must have seen Mei Ji!" ”
Mu Feng nodded lightly under his complicated gaze, "Yes, the spirit rhino was given by a girl named Mei Ji in a dungeon, and she also said that mortals who give the artifact will be injured by the artifact, and she also told me something about the spirit rhino." ”
"Where is she now?" Hearing this, the old man immediately became excited again, and quickly stepped forward, and when Mu Feng was about to resist, he instantly grabbed Mu Feng's hands with lightning speed, and the huge grip made Mu Feng break out in a cold sweat.
"She~ she's gone." Mu Feng forcibly endured the pain of his hands being grabbed by him as if his bones were about to crack, and replied with difficulty.
"What!" The old man's dark eyes widened, and his body seemed to have been drained of his soul in an instant, he let go of Mu Feng's hand and retreated again and again.
"It seems that the senior is the god that the predecessor of Meiji said." Seeing him like this, Mu Feng let out a sigh, rubbed his two arms that were scratched purple and painful, stepped in front of him and whispered.
"No~ It's absolutely impossible! How dare you lie to me! Just when Mu Feng was less than half a meter away from the old man who had lost his soul, the old man suddenly pounced on Mu Feng in a frenzy.
This time, his speed was obviously much slower than the previous two times, as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant, although he was already a dry corpse, he could still make Mu Feng clearly feel the difference between him at this moment and before.
Mu Feng was already ready to deal with the danger, and at that moment, he was too void to teleport out a few meters, and when the old man pounced and was about to attack Mu Feng again, Mu Feng looked at him with a solemn expression and said loudly, "The seniors know the Lingxi, they should know that what I said is true, let me bring you a word before the reincarnation!" ”
"You lied to me, you lied to me!" The old man didn't give Mu Feng a chance to explain at all, and stood in front of Mu Feng and spread out his two shriveled arms, releasing a large amount of black smoke from his arms, which instantly wrapped his whole person.
Seeing that this old man, who was sometimes angry and sometimes lonely, was about to attack him, Mu Feng flashed and hurriedly shouted at him, "Mei Ji is a nine-tailed fox, right?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Mu Feng also took a few steps back, but the space in the cave is really limited, if you venture out, you will encounter the siege of Zhuang Bufan and many other masters of Qingxuanzong, rather than this, it is better to face a person in the cave, and Mu Feng feels that the old man in front of him is the sweetheart who is still thinking about Mei Ji before she disappears, that is, the real owner of his own spirit.
Sure enough, just when the thick black smoke was about to come into contact with Mu Feng, and Mu Feng was about to conjure up the spirit rhino to fight again, the spreading black smoke actually stopped abruptly.
Under Mu Feng's worried and solemn gaze, the voice of the old man's vicissitudes of aging came from the black smoke, "You~ Have you really seen Mei Ji?" ”
Mu Feng breathed a sigh of relief again, smiled bitterly and shook his head gently, this surprise made him feel tired.
"The spirit rhino is the hand of the predecessor of the charm of the hand, if the predecessor is the master of the spirit rhino, you should know that the spirit rhino will not casually recognize people as the master, and the heart of the spirit rhino is also what she told me."
"What the hell is going on~ Why is this happening?" After a while, the black smoke gradually dissipated, and the old man with a scrawny body staggered out of the thin black smoke, looking at Mu Feng with empty eyes and muttering softly.
"The younger generation doesn't dare to lie, the senior believes in me, that's why she will hand over the spirit rhino to me, she has been waiting for an old man in the underground palace that has not seen the light of day for three hundred years, I think she is waiting for you, right?" Mu Feng stepped forward to the old man who seemed to be languishing at this moment, and let out a sigh and said solemnly.
Hearing Mu Feng's words, the old man's eyes changed suddenly, and just when Mu Feng thought that he was going to change his face again, he saw him "plop" and fell to the ground, and the old man cried horizontally, crying while crying "She is waiting for me, she is still waiting for me!" It's me who is sorry for her! ”
The sudden scene made Mu Feng a little overwhelmed, and the old man who was still fierce just now suddenly cried bitterly in front of him, so that Mu Feng didn't know what to say or do for a while, so he could only stand quietly in front of him and look at him.
"What did I do wrong, why did you treat me like this~~" The old man's heart-wrenching cry echoed in the narrow cave, which was heartbreaking, and also made Mu Feng feel pity for him at this moment, if the legend is true, then isn't he the god who was killed by Qingxuanzong?
No matter what the facts are, the mysterious and strange old man in front of him is destined to be a poor man.
"The predecessor is really the god of the Nether back then?" After pondering for a long time, Mu Feng exhaled deeply, and then looked at the old man who was kneeling on the ground in front of him and was crying hoarsely, and asked softly.
The old man groaned for a long time, and the residual red sunset outside the cave shone obliquely, reflecting on the old man's skinny body and looking particularly desolate, just when Mu Feng hesitated to continue to ask, the old man reached out and gently wiped away the tears on his face, and walked past Mu Feng with heavy steps.
Under Mu Feng's suspicious gaze, he re-stepped onto the bluestone slab and sat on it with a "flutter", as if he was sitting on the bluestone slab because of the simple and unpretentious bluestone slab under him, and the black patches on his body gradually faded a lot.
"It seems that Mei Ji has told you, hehe, yes, I am the god of the nether realm back then!"
Hearing the old man's low answer, Mu Feng trembled suddenly, although he was mentally prepared, but after really getting a positive answer, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
"Mei Ji's seniors did tell me something, after I got the Lingxi, she chose reincarnation, so the juniors don't know much about the things of the year." Mu Feng frowned slightly, and replied softly while standing in front of the old man.
The old man smiled slightly, and at this moment, there was such a faint smile of relief on his face full of wrinkles and vicissitudes of aging, which made Mu Feng a little uncomfortable.
"Sit down, people outside can't see you, since Mei Ji and Lingxi have chosen you, let's have a good talk." The old man smiled, stretched out his shriveled finger, pointed at the bluestone slab under him, and said calmly to them.
Mu Feng hesitated slightly, but nodded and walked to his side, flicked his robe and sat down, when his butt touched the bluestone slab, Mu Feng suddenly trembled and jumped up from above, looking at him with a look of surprise.
This bluestone slab looks no different from an ordinary slate, but when you touch it, you can feel a piercing cold even through the robe, this kind of cold is by no means comparable to ordinary ice, and it makes Mu Feng shiver with cold as soon as it touches it, which is really mysterious.
"Hehe, time has passed, I have long been a candle in the wind, if there is no bluestone, I am afraid that I will be reincarnated a hundred years ago." Seeing Mu Feng's stunned look, the old man smiled bitterly and glanced at the bluestone slab under him and said.
Mu Feng smiled slightly, and now sat cross-legged on the gravel in front of the old man, rather than doing the bluestone slab that felt that the whole person was going to be frozen into ice cubes at the first touch, Mu Feng was more willing to sit on these abrupt gravel.
"You said before that Magim has been reincarnated?" The old man asked him softly after Mu Feng sat down.
Mu Feng nodded, and replied sincerely, "Yes, it was about a year ago." ”
Time has passed in a hurry since he came out of the palace, and Mu Feng, who can be described as lingering every day, has no concept of time, and it should have been more than a year after a rough calculation.
"What did she say?" The old man pondered for a moment and then continued to ask towards Mu Feng.
Facing the old man's expectant eyes, Mu Feng seemed a little hesitant, Mei Ji was a woman he admired very much, and he didn't know what happened between the two of them, what was there about the dying old man in front of him worth her waiting for three hundred years without being reincarnated?
After being silent for a long time, Mu Feng still chose to tell the ins and outs of the whole thing under his enthusiastic gaze.
Facing the process of Mu Feng's narration, the expression on the old man's face gradually became complicated, and he seemed to be preoccupied.
"When she chose reincarnation, she said, if I can meet you one day, let me bring you a word."
