The alleys are deep, the shadows of the trees are soothing, and the cool breeze blows from nowhere, playing a beautiful wind chime, tugging at the heartstrings of the young man in green shirts.

Chen Meng ran into this alley, not just to avoid Boss Jin's fist, his purpose in coming to Nancheng was to find someone in the alley.

A blind man, a fortune-teller old blind man.

The boy counted the items he had snatched from the two children, and found that the sachet was missing, but there was an extra token.

The token was ice blue all over, placed in the palm of the hand, like a piece of jade, it was very comfortable to touch, and a faint chill was revealed from the token, before the chill in Lin Ziyou's body did not merge with Xuanyuan, the feeling of Chen Meng holding her hand was very similar to the feeling of holding this token.

"Kind of a good thing. Chen Meng carefully looked at this token the size of half a palm, there were small pointed points on the left and right sides of the token, like the wings of an animal, but Chen Meng couldn't dream for a while.

Chen Meng put the token into the storage bracelet, took a deep breath, and walked leisurely towards the alley.

The cool breeze disappeared, and the wind chimes gradually became quieter.

"Young man, you're here. ”

The old man's voice came from the depths of the alley, and at the same time the melodious sound of the guzheng sounded.

Chen Meng turned a corner, looked straight ahead, and at the end of the alley, there was an old man with a fairy wind and bones.

There was a guzheng in front of the old man, and between the strings, the sound of the piano was melodious, which made the young man's heart calm like water.

At the end of the alley, there is an alley that is not better than Chenmeng's residence, the ancient tree is a small green ancient tree, the shade of the tree is sprinkled, the alley is quiet and desolate, quite a bit of artistic conception.

Chen Meng moved forward, came to the position of the old man a few steps away, and bowed.

The old man chuckled a few times and said, "Gongshen Gongzi, there is no need to be polite. ”

Chen Meng's body stiffened, and Shaoqing spoke softly, "Old man, I don't call Gongshen Gongzi." ”

"Ah, don't you call Situ Gongshen, then you are ......" The old man's heart was confused because he recognized the wrong person, and suddenly the sound of the piano became urgent and chaotic, breaking the silence in the alley, as if it had become like a downtown area.

The old man carefully recalled and recognized Chenmeng's voice, and after a long time, the sound of the piano changed back to melodious, "I remembered you, you are Chenyimeng." ”

"Uh, old man, my name is Chenmeng, and I don't have a word. Chen Meng smiled bitterly.

Half a month ago, when he first saw this old man, he was impressed by his clever calculations, so he gave the old man eight characters for his birthday, and begged him to calculate his past and where he lived in the past.

The old man asked Chen Meng to look for him in the alley half a month later, and he would give Chen Meng a satisfactory result, that is, today.

However, what happened just now made Chen Meng feel that today was the twin brother of the old man who was in charge that day.

"No, your name is Chen Yimeng. The old man shook his head, his palm gently stroked the zither, and the sound of the piano stopped slowly.

"On that day, I left you a drop of blood, a close-fitting sachet and a birthday eight characters, and at night I took advantage of the full moon night to calculate your life and the past, but I didn't expect to violate the will of heaven, and a catastrophe fell from the sky, severely damaging my soul and destroying my creation. The old man said lightly, and halfway through speaking, he picked up the purple sand teacup by the guzheng and took a sip.

"Your life experience is very unusual, since you have been greatly created, I am still the first time to calculate a person's life experience, violating the will of heaven, in the end I paid a heavy price, and only calculated that your real name is Chen Yimeng, the small brand in your sachet has been burned by fire, and the place where it is burned black is a word. ”

Chen Meng bit the corner of his mouth and listened to the old man silently.

"Then it doesn't matter if your body wants to. ”

The old man shook his head and said with a light smile: "I'm old, I don't live long, and I can't tell how many people I am, if the creation is destroyed, it will be destroyed, and my soul will be damaged, but it just makes my mind not agile, so that I can't recognize who the person coming to me is, let me go and have tea with the Lord of Hades earlier." ”

Hearing the last sentence, Chen Meng felt guilty, if he hadn't let the old man count his life experience, he would definitely be able to live longer, and with his talent, he would definitely be able to enjoy the glory and wealth in a very short time.

"I'm sorry old man, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't ......"

The old man waved his hand, not letting Chen Meng continue, and said with a smile: "You don't have to feel guilty, I have to thank you, throughout the ages, who can cause a catastrophe if you go to fortune telling?" Thousands of years, oh no, tens of thousands of years, I am also the first person!"

Chen Meng looked at the old man's appearance, and there was always a strange feeling in his heart, which was indescribable, but it was like something was blocked in his chest.

"Old man, you go out with me, you have given almost everything for me, and you should ...... for the rest of your life"

Before Chen Meng finished speaking, the old man shook his hand and interrupted him, saying: "I like this alley very much, quiet, peaceful, no noise, no fighting, I drink tea here every day, play small songs, very comfortable, I want to spend my little time here, I don't want to go anywhere else." ”

"Okay. Chen Meng didn't force the old man, and bowed to the old man, "Thank you for your great kindness, otherwise I would have lived in vain for more than ten years, and I wouldn't even know my real name." ”

"Xie doesn't have to, in the future, if you can, you will go to Nanzhou City in Guwu Wasteland, and go south to the wasteland of thirty miles, in a secret realm called Hades, and my creation was obtained in that secret realm. ”

The old man paused, looked at Chen Meng, and said, "Do you want to hear my story?"

"I want to hear about it. Chen Meng smiled and nodded.

"That year, I was too old, when I was young, I was a generation of demons, and at the age of twenty-eight, I broke through the Nine Void Realm, and I was the youngest Nine Void Realm powerhouse in the history of Heavenly Dao Qingzhou. It's a pity that creation makes people, when I broke through the second spiral of the Nine Void Realm, I was already thirty-five years old, and it took fifteen years to break through the third spiral......"

The old man muttered about his past, from the first day of his youth and frivolity, to the later crowd, his shrugged face was already unconsciously full of tears.

Chen Meng listened quietly on the side, it was the glory that belonged to the old man, and it was also the loneliness of the old man alone.

"I didn't take a wife, and my family didn't value me anymore at that time, it was dispensable for me, and I didn't care about it, so after cultivating for twenty years and not being able to break through the Three Spirals of the Nine Void Realms, I resolutely walked into the secret realm of the Netherworld, a dangerous place that no one had ever set foot on. There I was seriously injured, my eyes were blind at that time, and my whole body cultivation was also taken away by the ghosts and gods, and just when I was about to die, I somehow obtained the Heavenly Divination Technique, and I was also sent out of the secret realm at that time to be rescued by a little boy. ”

"That kid is very poor, I calculated where I had the money to pick up, he had the money to buy medicine for me, after the injury was healed, I did a lot of things with divination, and sent him to a sect called the Lonely Sword Sect, since then I have traveled to the mainland, often divination, all the way to Huancheng, that was three years ago, and now I am also one hundred and fifty years old. ”

The old man finally finished talking about his past, wiped away the remaining tears on his face, picked up the purple clay pot and poured a bowl of tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

"You are the only person who has listened to me tell me about my past for so many years, and there was a person who also heard a lot, but when I said that I got the Heavenly Divination, he actually asked me to tell where I could get rich, and I said that I was not divinerable, and he said that I was an old liar who cheated on sugar, and he didn't listen. The old man looked at Chen Meng and smiled with satisfaction.

Chen Meng smiled slightly and said, "I just like to listen to stories, by the way, old man, I have never heard of the ancient Wuyi Prefecture you mentioned, is it particularly far away from our Lin Wuyi Prefecture." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, as if he was thinking, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Maybe it's because of the injury of my soul, which caused me to lose a lot of memories, and I can't remember the names of those places I visited, but didn't I walk for eighty years to come to Lin Wuyizhou, there must be a long way there." ”

Chen Meng nodded.

The old man said: "Actually, I said that I want you to go to the Secret Realm of the Netherworld, not for anything else, but in fact, I want you to go inside to find great creation, and there is more than one Jedi like the one I have been to." I just said that my own past was obsessed, but I forgot to tell you about the magic of heavenly divination. ”

"How can I, an old man who has no power to restrain a chicken, be able to travel on the mainland for 80 years without being killed? There is no need for me to calculate for myself, three days before each danger comes, I will naturally know what will happen after three days, and no matter if he is a natural or man-made disaster, all of them will work, so every time I can avoid danger in advance, or escape. ”

"So powerful?" Chen Meng was a little surprised, so doesn't this mean that the person who has obtained the Heavenly Divination Technique, except for the natural old age death, no one can kill him?

"That's why I'm asking you to go to the Netherworld, the rest of the Jedi to take risks. The old man said lightly.

"Then why are you talking to me about this?" Chen Meng looked at the old man with some doubts, they had only met twice, and because of Chen Meng, the old man's heavenly divination technique had dissipated under the heavenly tribulation, and his soul had also been damaged, so the old man should be full of complaints about him.

"In the past 80 years of travel, I have seen a lot of things, and I have long looked down on life, money, and status, so in a sense, I want to thank you, because you let me step into the ghost gate in advance, I want to go there, but I can't bear the pain when I commit suicide. The old man said indifferently, looking at the small patch of blue sky and white clouds between the layers of branches.

"Because I want to thank you, I told you this, I hope it can help you in the future, since divining your life experience has caused a catastrophe, you must not be an ordinary person. ”

Chen Meng smiled, this smile was not like joy, nor was it sad, only a strange meaning that others couldn't say.

"Old man, do you have anything you want to eat, it's almost noon, it's time to eat. Chen Meng suddenly spoke.

The old man looked up directly above him, and although he was covered by lush foliage overhead, he could faintly see the scorching sun hanging overhead.

"It's time for lunch, but I prefer the delicious food I make to the delicious food in the restaurant. The old man stood up, pinched the purple clay pot and a small teacup, and said to Chen Meng: "You come with me, I will make a big meal for you to feast on." ”

Chen Meng looked at the old man with some concern, and said, "Old man, you can't see anything, I can't walk home in good condition, I don't think it's easy, and you can still make peerless delicacies?"

"Hahaha. The old man laughed and said, "Just wait." ”

There are many portals on the walls on both sides of the alley, but it seems that the people here are reluctant to open this door and walk in the alley.

Chen Meng followed the old man to a half-hidden door, and the old man stepped on a few small steps, pushed the door open and walked in.

The light in the room was dim and damp, and there were some water stains on the bamboo tables and chairs, so the old man put the purple clay pot and teacup on the table, picked up a towel hanging at the door, and wiped the water off the chair.

"Sit, I'll go cook, you wait a moment. ”

Chen Meng said yes, and watched the old man go to the side room, which should be the kitchen.

Chen Meng did not sit down, but took a good look at the decoration in the house, in this hall, in addition to the bamboo table and bamboo chairs, there is also a bamboo sleeping chair, the sleeping chair seems to be some years, not like the old man's own, he has only been in Huancheng for three years after all.

On the wall where the old man walked to the side room, there was a narrow landscape painting, one zhang long and half a zhang wide.

I don't know where this painting is, there are mountains and waters, mountains are countless steep and dangerous peaks that extend into the distance, the water is rushing to the sea, and countless big fish are churning in the river, there are birds and beasts, the birds are rolling in the clouds, the snow-white feathers and clouds are integrated into one, the beast is the tiger roaring in the mountain forest, rushing out from behind the lush trees, culling the elk of the spotted tiger.

There are apes crying in the mountains and forests, leading vines to fly in the air between the mountain walls, and some people rowing boats and playing flutes, and the flute sounds melodious, attracting countless birds to circle and stay......

"Good drawing. ”
