Chapter 120: The Former City Lord
When Su Yue saw the visitor, she was even more surprised.
Slowly coming out of the corner was actually the person who sold the Demon Yuan Fruit in the ghost market.
At that time, Su Yue only stared at the young master of the Mei Sect, and didn't pay much attention to the old man, but now when he looks at it, he can't bear to look at it directly.
The old man's face was extremely old, but he was extremely thin, so his face was full of wrinkled skin, and the layers of folds were piled together, revealing a kind of decadence.
Su Yue was already on guard, the green jade ruler and the soul suppression bead were tightly clasped in his hands, and he asked cautiously, "Who are you?" Why is it here? ”
The old man looked at the mural in front of him, and actually walked over slowly, stroking the lines on it, a trace of nostalgia and sadness appeared on his face, and he sighed, "Who am I?" It's just a man who should have died a long time ago. ”
Su Yue and Qingyang were slowly retreating as he approached, and they were even more puzzled when they heard it, and they both looked at the old man with wide eyes.
The old man turned his head, looked at Su Yue and the others carefully, and then looked at Su Yue and the two of them concentrating on guard, and couldn't help but smile, "Don't be afraid, you two don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, you can come here, it must be related to the temple, how can I hurt the person chosen by Lord Teng Snake?" ”
Su Yue frowned and said, "But you never said who you are." ”
The pain on the old man's face deepened, "I am the city lord in the mural. ”
Su Yue sighed, looked at the mural, and then looked at the old man in front of him, but he was never able to connect the city lord in the mural with a heroic posture, a long body, and a kingly style, and the old man in front of him with a thin hunchback and a deep wrinkled face.
Qingyang was more direct and asked unceremoniously, "Why are you old like this?" How old are you? ”
The old man also looked in the direction of Su Yue's sight, which was the mural when he inherited the position of city lord and his wedding, his eyes fell on the beautiful woman in the mural, and sighed leisurely, "I have lived for more than two thousand years." ”
Su Yue and Qingyang glanced at each other and said in unison, "More than two thousand years? How can it be? ”
This old man has no spiritual power on his body, he looks like a mortal, and he is blessed by heaven to live past a hundred years old, how can he be more than two thousand years old?
"Don't you believe me? Hehehehe, I can't believe it, I should have died a long time ago. The old man's voice was like laughing and crying, "But I don't dare to die, hehehehe." ”
What kind of face is that?
Full of remorse, deep sorrow and nostalgia in the extreme.
Su Yue and Qingyang were silent for a while.
The old man looked at them, "You must be wondering why I have survived so long. ”
His expression became even more painful, and he said loudly in a hoarse voice, "That's because I carry hundreds of lives on my body." Tears rolled down his cheeks and he hissed, "That's mine...... My people, those are the only few hundred people left in my Teng Snake tribe! ”
His cheeks twitched, and he whispered in pain, "But they all gave me life, and gave me this sinner." ”
Su Yue and Qingyang were moved, firstly, they heard for the first time that there was a secret method that could transfer their lifespan to others, and secondly, they were shocked by the pain emanating from the old man's body.
They had just learned what had happened from the mural, a prosperous city that had been multiplying for tens of thousands of years was destroyed at the hands of the city lord in front of them, and there was no one left in the clan except him, it was really miserable.
After a while, the old man calmed down his excitement and said lightly, "My Teng Snake City has gone through ten thousand years, although it has been bloodied by other tribes, there are still a lot of treasures left, do you two want it?" ”
Su Yue and Qingyang glanced at each other, and simply said in unison, "I don't want to." ”
The old man's eyes widened in surprise, as if he didn't believe his ears, "There are a lot of treasures in it that cultivators dream of. ”
Su Yue smiled, "Everyone wants a baby, but not everyone can want it, my grandfather taught me not to be too greedy." ”
Her Shenmu Cave Mansion is already magical enough.
Qingyang is even more simply, "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief." ”
The old man smiled bitterly, "You don't have to be so nervous. As I said a long time ago, you are the ones chosen by the Teng Snake Divine Beast, and I will not harm you. ”
Su Yue said curiously, "We are the people chosen by the Teng Snake Divine Beast?" How do you know? ”
The old man said, "Didn't you just walk out of the underground palace? ”
Su Yue was surprised, "Just because of this? But it's just a phantom array, and this kind of array can be solved by others. ”
The old man shook his head and said, "You're right, this dungeon is indeed the phantom array we set up in the past, just to stop people who trespass on the temple. It's not like no one has fallen in before, and they have also broken the underground palace array, but none of them have been sent here, but have been sent directly to the ground. ”
He paused and sighed, "After more than two thousand years, I have finally waited for someone who can enter the temple, will Lord Teng Snake finally forgive us?" ”
Su Yue heard it even more foggy, and hurriedly said, "Wait, why do you have to wait here for someone who can enter the temple?" What does this have to do with your Lord Teng Snake? ”
The old man turned to the last mural and said, "It all started after we hid in the temple. ”
"We knelt down in the temple and begged for the forgiveness of Lord Tengser, and finally we begged the oracle that if we could finally recover the eyes on the statue of Tengser, he would forgive us and return the divine power."
The people were overjoyed and went out to look for it. But by the time we found Tenglian, he had already gone into the wilderness, and the pair of eyes had lost their clues. ”
Su Yue looked at the old man's gritted teeth, and asked cautiously, "That Tenglian, but is it a traitor of your Teng Snake Tribe?" ”
The old man's face was even more hateful, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Exactly." If it weren't for this thief, how could my Teng Snake tribe be destroyed overnight? My beloved wife ......"
The old man paused and said abruptly, "It's too late to say anything now......
He was silent for a moment, and then continued, "Because the clansmen have lost that mysterious power, although they continue to try to find it, they are still nowhere to be found, and gradually, they ...... One by one, they died. ”
There were tears in the old man's eyes, "Seeing that our bodies are slowly aging, because they are afraid that no one will be able to complete the oracle of Lord Teng Snake in the end, the elders did a divination at the cost of burning their souls. ”
He looked at Su Yue and Qingyang, and said slowly, "It is written in the diction that after more than a thousand years, if there is a person from the future who can enter the temple, it is a person who is destined." This man should be able to recover the treasure of my Teng Snake tribe and rescue us. ”
"But," he began to look Su Yue and the others up and down again, "It's strange that there is only one person in the divination, but you can all enter the temple." ”
