Chapter 15: The Mysterious Old Man
Yang Chen walked to the city gate and found that the city gate was hidden, so he pushed one side of the city gate with both hands and slowly exerted force!

The city gate was slowly pushed open, and what greeted Yang Chen's eyes was a bluestone paved road, which was about ten zhang wide, from Yang Chen's feet, all the way to the end of the line of sight!
Yang Chen walked into the city and just took a few steps forward along the bluestone road, when suddenly an old voice came from the side of the city gate behind him, which really startled Yang Chen!
"Little guy, don't you say hello to the old man, are you leaving?"
Yang Chen turned his head and saw that in a corner of the city gate, there was a chair, and on the chair sat a skinny old man, who was the person who spoke just now!
Yang Chen didn't expect that there were still others in the city of the Tianyuan World, because he didn't know the details of this old man, Yang Chen didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed slightly respectfully, explaining: "Old man, I didn't know you were here before, so it's a bit rude, please don't blame the old man!" ”
"Well," the old man nodded and smiled, the wrinkles on his face were layer by layer, looking a little terrifying, and he said with some satisfaction: "You little guy is quite polite, but the first to come to the city is not arrogant, not bad!" ”
"The old man praised it!" Yang Chen said humbly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This old man's temper is also weird, when Yang Chen was polite for the first time, he praised Yang Chen, and the second time he was modest, but he reprimanded him a little angrily: "You kid, yes, yes, no, you don't, if you say it, you admit it, if you say it wrong, you refute it, why are you doing these hypocritical things, are you tired!" ”
Yang Chen muttered in his heart, if he didn't know your details, he was afraid that he would cause trouble after offending you, you and I would be willing to talk to you like this!
However, Yang Chen had lived for hundreds of years in his previous life, and he had never met any kind of person, but for him, this old man's eccentric personality was not difficult to deal with!
Therefore, Yang Chen said with a slightly wry smile: "Old man, I first came here, I don't know much about this place, and I don't know the details of your background, so I am cautious, I don't want to get into trouble by saying the wrong thing, who knows that it will make you unhappy, but it is the boy's fault!" ”
Sure enough, after hearing Yang Chen's words, the old man not only did not get angry, but instead showed a smile of appreciation, nodded and said, "You little guy is also honest, for the sake of your little guy, if it is more pleasing to the eye, the old man will give you a little benefit!" ”
"Old man, what's the benefit?" Yang Chen's eyes lit up, he rubbed his hands involuntarily, his eyes swept over the old man, but he found that there was nothing else on the old man's body except for an ordinary piece of clothing, and he couldn't help but shift his gaze to the chair where the old man was sitting with some disappointment. I don't even see the slightest hint of it, but this chair is extraordinary! But if I take the old man's chair, what will he sit on? No matter, let's get the treasure first!
The old man naturally didn't know that Yang Chen had thought so much at this moment, but looking at Yang Chen's eyes sweeping around him, the old man also guessed some of Yang Chen's thoughts, and couldn't help but scold a little angrily and funny: "You little guy, look at what I'm doing, the benefits I want to give you are not on me!" ”
Yang Chen laughed dryly, his face was a little embarrassed, but thinking of the mysterious identity of this old man, the benefits given must be extraordinary, and he couldn't help it, and asked cheekily: "The old man, the benefits are not on you, on whom?" ”
"On you!" The old man looked at Yang Chen and said.
"On me? Why didn't I see it? Yang Chen couldn't help but look at it for a long time with his hands and feet in confusion, but he still didn't find any benefits.
The old man was immediately amused by Yang Chen's actions, laughed twice, and then asked, "Are you going to choose a house in this city?" ”
"That's right!" Yang Chen nodded, a little puzzled in his heart, what does the choice of a house have to do with the benefits?
"Then you say, who knows the city best? Who knows which house is better? Which house is worse? The old man asked.
"Naturally, you know the city best, but aren't all the houses the same? How can there be a good or bad thing? "Yang Chen has never entered the city of the Heavenly Rim World, and he naturally doesn't know anything here!
"Of course there is a difference!" The old man retorted, "For example, some houses are located in the center of the city, which is very close to the places of trial, and it is very convenient, while some houses are far away from the city center, and it takes some time to go back and forth!" Moreover, the closer to the center, the more lively it becomes, and it is much better to renovate your house into a shop in the future than on the periphery! That's just one point, there are a few other things that are different, but it takes experience! ”
When the old man said this, he deliberately stopped, hung Yang Chen's appetite, and then glanced at Yang Chen with some smugness, which could be regarded as punishment for Yang Chen's suspicion just now!
The old man's words made Yang Chen's eyes light up suddenly, indeed, not to mention the benefits that the old man did not say, just the first point, it is indeed a good idea, although Yang Chen does not plan to waste time on the shop, but he can rent it out, this can also get a fortune for nothing!
Just the first point, to find out such a big difference, for the difference that the old man didn't say later, Yang Chen's heart suddenly felt a little itchy!
Therefore, although he knew that the old man was deliberately hanging his appetite, Yang Chen couldn't help but ask, "Please also ask the old man for advice!" ”
The old man nodded with satisfaction, pointed to the first house on the right side of the road, and said: "You start counting from this house, and count until you count to the 1531st house, which is the number 10001 house, and that house is the best one among the 36,000 houses in the entire city, because that house is the closest to the trial place of the 'Sword Heart Palace', you can slightly sense a trace of sword intent in the 'Sword Heart Palace', and when you practice the sword, it can help you comprehend the mystery of kendo faster!" ”
"Moreover, because it happens to be at the intersection of the spiritual energy of the three major trials of the 'Star Palace', 'Trial Tower' and 'Illusion Lake', the spiritual energy around that house is also the strongest, and ...... There is a benefit to that house that other houses don't have, but I won't tell you about this benefit directly, it's up to you to have the opportunity to find it! ”
Although Yang Chen didn't know what the so-called places of trial such as 'Sword Heart Palace' and 'Star Palace' meant, he also knew that the house that the old man told him should really be the best one in the entire city, and he couldn't help but feel a little grateful to the old man in his heart, and bowed deeply to the old man: "Thank you for the old man's advice!" ”
"Well," the old man nodded, paused, and said, "Although that house can help you in cultivation to a certain extent, you must know that the help of external forces is limited after all, and the most important thing in cultivation is to rely on your own efforts, you must not sacrifice your roots!" ”
"Boy, remember the teachings of the old man!" Yang Chen knew that the old man was kind enough to remind him, so he couldn't help but salute again!
"That's it! All right! Go open your house, and don't get in the way of my old man's eyes! The old man suddenly waved his hand impatiently, and finally did not forget to remind: "Don't open the wrong house, because once you open the house, the house belongs to you, and you can't change it if you want to!" ”
After speaking, the old man no longer paid attention to Yang Chen, but reclined on the chair and closed his eyes!
Yang Chen saluted sincerely for the third time, and then turned around and left!
After a while, the old man opened his eyes, looked at Yang Chen's back that had gone away, and whispered with interest: "Nice little guy, I want to see where you can go in the end?" Also, I wonder if you can discover the secret of that house? ”
Then, the old man shook his head with some sighs and said to himself, "Alas...... Lived too long...... There's always less fun! ”
After saying this, the old man closed his eyes again and lay down on the chair, seemingly quite leisurely!
