Ye Dong and the others just shouted inside at the entrance of the cave, but they didn't dare to enter the cave rashly, they didn't know if the one inside was the right way or the demon way, or it was better to be cautious. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Senior! Can you see it? Zilong respectfully shouted inside again, but unfortunately there was still no response in the cave.

Ye Dong and the others glanced at each other, their hearts were full of uneasiness, and they also had a guess in their hearts: "Could it be that the great power inside has died?" ”

They didn't dare to enter the cave easily, although it seemed that the cave was not equipped with any protective arrays, so Ye Dong once again said his name in a deep voice of the Dantian, to see if the people in the cave were dead or alive.

His voice didn't sound loud, but it implied mana, and the penetrating power was extremely strong, even if he could hear it clearly outside of Lixu, as long as the people in the cave didn't die, he would definitely know that someone was visiting outside.

However, Ye Dong and the others waited for a while, but the person in the cave still did not react, and said it again, the same is true, just as they were about to step into the cave, suddenly the old man who seemed to be a dead corpse let out a hoarse sigh, his voice sounded extremely strange and awkward, and he said a little intermittently: "I didn't expect that there were still people on this island who came here, hehe!" Come in! I've just been in meditation, and I haven't heard your cries for a while. ”

Ye Dong and the others suddenly heard the sound, their faces suddenly changed greatly, and they instantly raised their mana power, and their bodies flashed in tacit understanding and had withdrawn from the cave a few meters away.

The hoarse laughter of the old man in the cave came out again, raised his head and opened his eyes, looked at Ye Dong and the others who looked panicked outside the cave and smiled: "You don't need to panic, I'm not a demon or a monster, I'm a cultivator like you." The difference is that I am already a wasted person, and it is only with the aura of this place that I can survive to this day. ”

Ye Dong and the others naturally did not trust each other, and quietly injected mana into the Bagua Yin-Yang Mirror to protect their bodies on their chests, and Guyue They also took out their weapons, ready to fight at any time, and looked at each other vigilantly.

After a while, Ye Dong asked in a deep voice: "Dare to ask what the seniors are called, how did they come to live on this isolated island?" ”

The old man's eyes were gray and pale, dull, like two cloudy glass balls, seeing that Ye Dong was still vigilant, he couldn't help but chuckle lightly, and said slowly: "This matter is a long story. The old man has been on this island, rarely spoke, almost forgot how to speak, and then found this eagle, I adopted it, to talk to it, after a long time, I didn't think it could actually listen to what I said, so I handed it to speak, its intelligence is very high, learned simple communication words. ”

After speaking, the mysterious old man's language smoothed out a lot, and then he took a breath, and his voice was weak: "My longevity is exhausted, so it is very difficult to open my throat and speak outside the cave, if you believe the old man's words, you can go into the cave to talk." ”

Ye Dong and the others couldn't help but have a sharp turn of thought in their hearts, looking at the old man's cheeks withered and fleshless, his eyes were dull, and he was clearly a sign of death, strictly speaking, from the physiognomy, he was already dead, maybe he used some earth-shattering spell, and he could only prolong his life by forcing himself to continue his life so far, and now it is estimated that his mana has really been exhausted, and it is impossible to pose any threat to his group.

The two eagles heard the old man speak, and they were all very happy waving their big wings and jumping continuously, and a gust of wind blew outside the cave, squeaking and screaming.

The mysterious old man smiled: "Ah Bai, Ah Hei, you go to other places to play first, I still have something to talk to these little friends." ”

The two black and white eagles saw that their masters were fine, they were simple-minded, and they naturally obeyed what the old man said, and then they screamed a few times and slowly left outside.

Ye Dong and his entourage saw the two eagles leaving excitedly, and their wings disappeared between the trees in an instant, and their hearts were also much calmer, seeing that the two big birds had such a humble attitude towards the mysterious old man, presumably the mysterious old man inside would not be a person who was easy to kill.

This old man had long known that Ye Dong and they had gone to the island, maybe the cruise ship went here on its own, maybe it was his good show, if he really had any ideas, he used the Dao spell to activate the big array to sink their cruise ship into the sea, so he didn't have to wait so much for Ye Dong and their arrival. In addition, the old man seemed to be a person who was close to Shouyuan, his body was extremely weak, and his blood and qi were exhausted, so Ye Dong and the others relaxed a little, and slowly walked into the cave, first watching the situation in the cave.

Gu Yue clenched her fists and asked in a deep voice, "Senior, why do you live here?" Is there something unspeakable? Is there anything we can help with? ”

The mysterious old man smiled hoarsely, his voice was even more slight, but his breath was more steady: "Although the old man's mana is completely gone, his eyesight is still there, since your big ship broke into the range of my big array, I can feel that your group is not simple, most of them have not weak Dao power and mana, so I called your big ship over." ”

Ye Dong smiled: "Why did the seniors do this?" Could it be that our predecessors want to borrow our ship to leave here? ”

The mysterious old man shook his head, and he could clearly hear the clicking sound of his neck bones, as if rusty, strange and scary, only to see that he had the strength to say weakly: "No, in fact, the old man has been used to staying on the island, and I want to ask you for help when I brought you here, let me tell you the truth, I fell into this kind of field mostly because of the harm caused by the magic weapon." ”

He paused, sighed, and said, "Little friends, sit down and talk." I don't know what you call your words? ”

Ye Dong and the others were stunned for a moment, he had just said his name, but since the other party asked, he still said it again: "Junior Ye Dong." ”

"Junior Lonely Moon!" "Junior Zilong!" "Junior!"

The mysterious old man smiled: "This little friend has already said it, and I know your name, but the old man asked you for your words." The old man Chen Zhong, whose name is Mingyang, calls himself Mingyang Daoist, and is a person from Chang'an. ”

Ye Dong and the others came to their senses at this time, and Gu Yue couldn't help but smile: "The juniors don't know how long the seniors have been cultivating on the island, but now the people in the country only have names, and the characters are basically not taken." ”

Name name, it can be seen that in ancient times, the name and the word were equally important, and the people close to them were mostly referred to by the word, but now, it has become a name, and the name also refers to the name.

The mysterious old man's expression darkened, and he sighed and said: "Sure enough, the outside world has changed greatly in the past two or three hundred years, it seems that my old man has derailed from the world, and the big ship you are riding on is actually made of steel all over the body, and the size is extremely huge, I really can't imagine how steel can float on the water." It's weird! It has been almost 300 years since the old man came to this island, can you tell me about the current situation in the Central Plains? ”

Gu Yue couldn't help but gasp: "Predecessor has been on the island for three hundred years? I wonder how old my predecessor is now? ”

The mysterious old man smiled: "The old man should be about three hundred and fifty years now, and the old man can't remember the specific years, but I remember that the old man was born not long ago, and the Ming Dynasty perished, and my father gave me the word Yangming, just to think that I will always remember that I am a person from the Ming Dynasty." ”

Ye Dong and the others were really speechless, the longest-lived old man in the Guinness Book of World Records was only one hundred and twenty or thirty years old, if they knew that there was a person born in the Ming Dynasty on this island, what would their expression be.

Ye Dong's history is still passable, and the knowledge in the history books is still in his mind, and in their line of work, the historical knowledge cannot be left behind. The fall of the Ming Dynasty was in 1644 AD, even if this old man was born in 1644, he is still three hundred and fifty-seven years old, not to mention ordinary people, even if he is a Xuanmen Heavenly Master, Ye Dong They can hardly imagine that someone can live such a long time, it seems that the Yangming Dao people really did not deceive themselves.

Looking at the look of surprise on Ye Dong's face, the Yangming Dao people already knew what they were thinking, and explained: "This island is full of spiritual energy and good at health preservation, it is the ordinary beasts on the island, they all have a longer lifespan than the beasts in other places, and it is not strange for the old man to live longer." Once you leave the island, or even leave this cave, you will die within three days. ”

The mysterious old man sighed and said: "Now the old man's body is so bad that he can't even eat, and he relies on the spiritual energy spring water to support his life, but he is just a living dead, even if he has a thousand years of life?" ”

Ye Dong sighed in his heart, and probably told the Yangming Dao people about some things that happened in modern times, and the Yangming Dao people also sighed again and again, especially knowing that the Qing Dynasty had fallen, and even hazy tears appeared in his eyes.

After Ye Dong gave the old man a brief introduction to the situation outside, he finally couldn't help but ask, "How did the seniors come here?" How could it have been possible to cross the ocean by ship from the land of the Ming Dynasty three hundred years ago? ”

Yang Ming Daoren smiled and said, "Why not?" I think that Zheng He, who was in the Ming Dynasty, went to the Western Ocean several times, and the nautical chart of this island was still left by him. ”

Then he talked a little about his situation, and Ye Dong and the others knew the reason why he came to this island.

It turned out that the father and ancestors of Yangming Daoren were all officials of the Qin Tianjian of the Ming Dynasty, and his father was the supervisor of the Qin Tianjian, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, and some Ming Dynasty relics secretly planned to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, find his master, and calculate the location of the Qing Dynasty dragon vein, intending to cut off the Qing Dynasty dragon vein and restore the Ming Dynasty.

Although Yangming Daoren and his master found out the location of the dragon vein of the Qing Dynasty, they did not expect that when they were traitors and led people to cut off the dragon veins of the Qing Dynasty, they fell into the trap of the other party and were severely injured by the powerful Manchu warlock with the help of the dragon vein.

At this time, Yang Ming Daoist was already in his thirties, and he set out with his father to break the dragon vein of the Qing Dynasty, and it was impossible for him to escape the attack of the Manchu warlocks with his Taoism, but his master tried his best to protect him, so he escaped and left together.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty was very jealous of the Qin Tianjian pair of Yangming masters and apprentices, and sent countless good hands to chase and kill them, forcing the Yangming Dao people and others to flee overseas, take the nautical charts left by Zheng He, and drive a small imitation treasure ship reinforced by magic to go to sea, preparing to find the Sea Dragon Dao mentioned in the Navigation Chronicles, improve the mana Dao, and then kill back to the Central Plains.

Unfortunately, although they successfully came to the outside of Sea Dragon Island, the ship could not support it and sank in a thunderstorm, Yang Ming Dao and a few companions were lucky enough to drift to the island, but more people died in the vast sea, including his master Huo Zhen Dao Shou Yuan Xiang could not escape this catastrophe.

The Yangming Dao people took the surviving warlocks and drifted to the Sea Dragon Island. Fortunately, there were some things that had been prepared in advance to assist in cultivation, including a large wooden box of pine and cypress seeds. Yangming Dao people and others were very popular, and they looked for this steep mountain peak to arrange the magic circle, but the others were much older than Yangming Dao people, and they fought with Manchu warlocks and injured their vitality, and finally died one after another.

The disheartened Yangming Daoist has been cultivating on the island since then, and his determination to return to the Central Plains and destroy the Qing Dynasty has gradually been worn out.

Hearing this, Da Chun couldn't help asking, "Why did the seniors stay on the island with great power?" Since the predecessors had Zheng He's navigation charts, as long as they cut down the trees on the island, build a raft, and follow the current, they should be able to leave the island, why did they stay here? ”

Yang Ming Daoist nodded and forced a laugh: "You are right. My master had already calculated that this trip was not good, but this was the only opportunity to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, so he had to take a risk, so he had already left a way back, as for why I stayed here, it was because there was an artifact on this island! I want to get that artifact and continue the majesty of the Ming Dynasty! It's a pity that God's will makes people, but I am not human-like to be tortured by that artifact......"
