Chapter Seventy-Two: The Mysterious Old Man

Although I felt a little uneasy in my heart, I still followed Nangong Yun along the trail, and the end of the trail connected to the back mountain. The stone road www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" pavilion disappears, and what connects it is a gravel road through a dense forest. Standing in front of the dense forest, I felt faintly uneasy, as if there was some fierce beast in the forest, exuding a peerless ferocity.

Nangong Yun said solemnly: "There is a formation arranged in this forest, you follow my footsteps, and you don't have to worry about entering the formation by mistake." ”

"Are we going into the woods? Although I don't know the formation, I should be a very powerful formation in the woods in front of me. It should be protecting some kind of treasure, doesn't it matter if we rush in like this?" I asked, puzzled.

"Don't you understand the formation?" Nangong Yun was stunned for a moment, and then said mysteriously: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, our entry into this dense forest is a secret operation, and you will know if you come with me." ”

"This..."

I was speechless for a moment, and an inexplicable sense of fulfillment gradually emerged. To be honest, I still trust Nangong Yun quite a bit, but I still maintain a skeptical attitude about that time travel to February 27th. Now as long as Nangong Yun will not hand me the formation diagram of the "Tiangang Five Elements Thunder Array" before Qingming, then the mystery will be revealed.

In the dense forest, the evil qi blew, and after Nangong Yun took every step, I hurriedly followed. When I entered the formation, I had already felt the changes in the big array, and every step Nangong Yun took, the big array was running. It's just that his steps are weird, as if he has set a rhythm, and every time I step on it, there is no response, as soon as my feet leave the clearing, the large array behind him begins to change again, and if someone steps on it again, the large array will be activated.

Nangong Yun led me forward step by step, and in one of them, a burst of mist rose in the dense forest, and the pace of our progress accelerated by a point. Knowing that in the end, the fog completely obscured the vision, and he stepped on the air in the fog, and his heart was not good.

The surrounding scene has changed a little, I appeared in a clearing, Nangong Yun's figure has disappeared, and I am alone. I looked around vigilantly, and now I was caught in a big array, and I still didn't want to act rashly to avoid triggering other changes.

While I was waiting, a strange sound sounded in my ears, the sound was relatively low, and the music was undulating. I listened as I listened, and a wave of sorrow welled up in my heart. The tip of his nose was a little sour, and two lines of tears unconsciously flowed from his eyes, and the whole person fell into grief.

"Kid, you're here."

While I was grieving, the music in my ears stopped, and I heard the voice of an old man, and I looked around, and in the distance in front of me, a kind old man was slowly approaching. He had white hair and beard, wrinkles on his face like deep grooves, he was dressed in animal robes, a necklace of animal teeth around his neck, and he held a horned flute made of animal horns. The shape of the horn is strange, and an inexplicable charm flows above, could it be that the music just now was made by this beast horn flute.

"Child, you like this horn flute, if you like it, I'll give it to you."

As he spoke, the old man handed me the horned flute. Looking at the horned flute, a voice in my heart said, "Take it, take it." I touched the tears on my face, gritted my teeth and shook my head, and said, "Everything in this world has cause and effect, and I have no reason to bear this horn flute under my hand today, and when cause and effect come in the future." ”

The old man laughed and said, "The cause and effect of this horn flute has come, it is you, I have been waiting for you here for a long time." ”

The old man's laughter was familiar to me, and when he said that the cause and effect of the horned flute was me, I inexplicably reached out and touched the horned flute. The hand unconsciously took it from the old man's hand, and the sad feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Seeing that I took the beast horn flute, the old man touched his beard and said: "This is a prophecy that has been passed down for thousands of years, and this horn flute carries this and that prophecy. ”

"What is this, why will it be given to me." Listening to what the old man said, I suddenly woke up, pushed back the horn flute, and said.

"It's it." The old man was obviously lost in thought, and I saw that his brow was furrowed, as if he had some bad memories in mind. The old man sighed and said, "Alas! This is a Jiuli relic, the name is called the Requiem Flute, which is made of the horns taken by the patriarch of the Jiuli tribe, Chi You, from the head of the totem sacred cow. ”

"In ancient times, the rise of the Jiuyou tribe was just that there was a big war with the Jiuli tribe, and the people who died in the Jiuli tribe turned into black shadows and followed the people of the Jiuyou tribe. At that time, the patriarch of the Jiuli tribe, Chi You, found that something was wrong, so he asked the clan to worship the totem sacred cow, gave a horn on his head, and made this requiem flute. Its voice can evoke the deepest memories in people's hearts, with this requiem flute, the clansmen of the Jiuli tribe, basically not called the Yin Soul, wandered the world with the Jiuyou tribe. ”

"Jiuli tribe? Didn't that happen at the beginning of the Yanhuang Era? Then you are.... I asked, confused.

I looked at the old man and began to guess his identity. According to him, he must have been a very old being, at least since the Yanhuang period. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so clear about what happened to the Jiuli tribe, and he was wearing clothes made of animal skins. In ancient times, the textile industry should have been involved, and the materials of the clothes worn should also be inseparable from animal skins.

So according to my guess, this old man will not be a modern person, nor will it be ancient, only the existence of the Yanhuang period. It has been more than 5,000 years since the Yanhuang period, so isn't this old man... I was startled by my own speculation, and when I looked at the old man again, there was a hint of awe in my eyes.

The old man smiled: "Little doll, you don't have to be afraid of me, I just stay here with a wisp of obsession, as for my identity, I am a dead person, don't say anything." The prophecy about the Nine Shadows Tribe is rumored to end in this life. So I've been waiting for you here, and you can take this requiem flute. The hundred ghosts of the hidden capital can use this horned flute to cross, but the king of the hidden capital depends on your own efforts. ”

"Rely on me? But I'm just an ordinary person, how can I solve something that the heavenly immortals can't do. I said. Now I can't even defeat a single ghost that has been sealed in the Nine Shadows Tribe, so what do I talk about?

The old man touched my head and said, "Child, didn't a great sage ever say it in ancient times. "A wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and a fool must gain a thousand thoughts?" And you are the one who has been given the ability by God to be different from ordinary people, and there will be tasks for you to complete. ”

The old man's body walked into the distance, I wanted to catch up and ask for clarification, but found that my body could no longer move, the old man said as he walked.

"Heaven descends on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and gain what they cannot." Child, there is still a long road ahead of you, the prosperity has come, and there are some old things, it's time to disappear. ”

Call!

A gust of wind blew, carrying a scent, and my eyes lost their minds, and then things around me were blurred, and my hand seemed to be held by someone, but I couldn't turn my head to look at him.

......

I exhaled as I regained consciousness, and the scene around me turned into a valley, and the white mist in the dense forest behind me dissipated, and the dense forest reappeared, and a tall tower appeared in front of my eyes. And Nangong Yun was standing in front of the tower, he looked back at me suspiciously, and said suspiciously: "Lu Ren, what's wrong with you, why are you crying." ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I was just touched by the falling leaves, so I unconsciously left tears." I explained.

Nangong Yun led me on, he obviously didn't believe what I just said, but he didn't say much. I seemed to be walking behind him and looking a little absent-minded, what was that just now, who was that old man, and the requiem flute he gave me was not on me. But I did shed tears, was it just an illusion.

Yuan Daochang once said that when a person is too obsessed with one thing, there will be demons in his heart. The cultivator will emptiness all his thoughts in order to avoid the appearance of inner demons in his heart, and once the inner demons appear, it is easy to attract people into demons. I guess that the patriarch of the Nine Shadows tribe was obsessed with being too deep into the demons, so he became the first generation of evil ghosts.

I smiled, what do I want to do so much, just let it be. Recite the mantra in your heart and let yourself forget the thoughts that bothered me.
