Chapter 137: The Old Man I've Never Met

Seeing the White Envoy being taken away, the Prison King seemed disappointed, and moved to the apse and sat down in front of a quaint table.

"Sit down, too. Now that the white envoy is done, it's time to talk about yours. The Prison King said.

Lin Chen looked at the table and stool, this table and stool were actually naturally formed by tree stumps, but there were only three stools in front of the table, which looked very strange, the prison king had already sat on one, and the other two seemed to have been prepared for them to come. As soon as it came, it was safe, and Lin Chen and Gu Lan also sat down.

Lin Chen nodded, his expression was very calm, and he said lightly: "I originally planned to go to this selfless prison to find out, but what I wanted was to smooth out a hurdle in my heart that I couldn't get over. I was relieved not long ago, but I didn't expect to be here now. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Chen laughed self-deprecatingly, and his eyes fell on the face of the prison king, who just looked at Lin Chen and smiled without saying a word, waiting for Lin Chen's next words.

"To be honest, disappointed. ”

"Oh, disappointed that we didn't find a way to resurrect some people?" said the Prison King.

"That's not it, you're just a false underworld here, and of course it's disappointing. Lin Chen said.

As soon as Lin Chen's words came out, Gu Lan was shocked, she didn't know why Lin Chen said this, in her opinion, this prison king's strength was all over the sky, how could it be fake.

"Hahahaha, it seems that Lin Chen's little friend still sees it. The Prison King said with a smile.

"Why don't you talk about you first, what do you have to do with Nanxian Mountain?" Lin Chen said.

"Nanxian Mountain. The Prison King sighed, as if trapped in a long memory.

After a long time, the Prison King spoke, "You can see it from those branches just now." ”

Lin Chen nodded and said, "Well, I didn't think about it that way at first, but if you reminded me, I immediately guessed it." ”

The Prison King sighed and said, "That's right, I used to live in Nanshan, or Nanxian Mountain. That big tree is the body I left behind when I attained the Great Perfection of the Attained One. ”

"Of course, according to human parlance, it can also be said that I am a dryad. The Prison King added.

Lin Chen was really stunned, but he knew that the big tree looked huge on the surface, but even at the foot of the mountain there was the root system of the tree, so how big did the tree have to be, and how many years had to grow. Moreover, the attainer of the Great Perfection of cultivation, this is also too terrifying.

The Prison King looked at Gu Lan and said, "With your current cultivation, you should understand the cultivation system. But you may not know that scholars, cultivators, and emissaries all have three stages: the first, the middle, and the latter, and the Great Enlightened One has a Dzogchen stage in addition to these three stages. ”

"Why is that?" asked Gulan, who had never told her about the cultivation system.

"Because it is too difficult to attain the position of Venerable Tongtho. After I broke through to the Great Perfection of the Attained One, I was never able to touch the threshold of the Venerable One. The Prison King sighed.

Lin Chen looked at the stunned Prison King and asked, "I don't understand, why are you telling us this. ”

"Do you know what laws I cultivate?" the Prison King did not answer Lin Chen, but asked his own question.

"Isn't it the law of wood?" Lin Chen said casually.

The Prison King shook his head, and a branch grew out of nowhere, and he handed over three cups of tea and placed them in front of the table where the three of them were sitting.

"I am originally a tree, and I am born to understand the laws of wood, but I do not understand the laws of wood deeply, and I may not be as good as this little friend of Gulan. The law I understand is the law of order. The Prison King said.

"The Law of Order?" said Guran thoughtfully, "the Law of Wood also contains this, but it is not specific to this one. ”

The King of Prison approvingly: "Yes, the trees are dense and thriving in spring and summer, and in autumn and winter, they are full of splendid clothes and sleep silently, which is the order of growth of trees, just as this ring contains." A ring is a year, a record of order. The Prison King stroked the rings on the table with his hand, as if he was catching up with his long-separated old friend.

"The husband is born in spring and long in summer, harvested in autumn and hidden in winter, this great scripture of the way of heaven. Everything in the world has its own way, and there is order. Lin Chen said.

In fact, the previous sentence is from "Historical Records: Taishi Gong's Self-Introduction", and the reason why Lin Chen knows is not that Lin Chen has a wide range of knowledge, but because Lin Chen's mother likes to give Lin Chen some seasonal health knowledge, three-dog patches, traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, and massage. Every time I have to add a sentence, spring is born and summer is long, autumn is harvested and winter is hidden, and the ancestors are brought out, saying that it is said in the emperor's internal scriptures. Lin Chen took the trouble to check on the Internet for this reason, but he didn't find out why, but he remembered this sentence.

The prison king clapped his hands and said, "I didn't expect that Xiaoyou also has a good understanding of the law of order, which really doesn't match your age." ”

Speaking of this, the Prison King picked up the wooden cup, took a sip of tea, and continued: "That's right, everything in the world is disorderly. I can't remember how many years I've been on that mountain, the breeze in spring, the thunderstorm in summer, the sunny day in autumn, and the snow in winter. I've been struck by lightning before, but I've survived because I know that when the clouds clear, the sun will fall. And it all ended a hundred years ago. ”

Lin Chen's eyelids jumped, this prison king actually wanted to talk to him about the formation of the reverse sea, did he see something?

"You should know where that spear came from. The Prison King suddenly changed his tune.

Lin Chen was stunned, and said in his heart, this old guy really saw some of the origins between me and the law of water.

"Don't be surprised, I took a closer look when I was in the Land of Bathing Ghosts. The Prison King said.

Lin Chen was helpless, it turned out that the other party knew that he had mixed in early on, and it seemed that the person who saved him in the ghost bathing land at that time was the prison king.

Lin Chen continued: "You were the one who led me into the Endless Prison? I don't think I could be so coincidental to avoid all the ghosts in the Ghost Prison and enter the Ghost Prison inexplicably. ”

"Haha, I really can't hide it from you, that's right, I led you into the Endless Hell, the Dream Eater Ghost Tree that led you to the Endless Hell, just to let you be discovered by the White Envoy as soon as possible and realize his plan. It's just that I didn't expect you to break out of your dream so quickly. ”

Lin Chen and Gu Lan couldn't understand it, and Gu Lan asked, "You already know about our plan, so why don't you stop it?"

"I just want to see how far this white envoy can go, of course, if he can take the opportunity to break through and comprehend the secret of this Netherland to restrain the river, I don't mind helping him. Unfortunately, he ended up going astray. I was very curious about you two boys, so I stayed in the Prison of No Argument for a while, but I didn't expect that when I went to the Prison of No Regrets to find the White Messenger, he had already made an unforgivable mistake. It's a pity that the White Knife and the White Eagle, these cultivators are all people I finally found who have a certain understanding of the laws of life and death. The Prison King said.

"Then you may not know that the black dragon is also dead, and I killed it, probably when you went to find the white envoy. There is also Black Rock, who died at the hands of a group of ghosts. Lin Chen said that he didn't plan to hide it.

The Prison King nodded and said, "The Black Envoy has already told me, but what you said is not complete, Black Lotus is also dead, and it is in the hands of Black Rock." It's just that they may have been taken away by the white mist, as for what to do, let's check it when the matter here is over. ”

"Take out your spear and show it to me. The Prison King said.

Lin Chen reluctantly summoned the water god fury, handed it over, and his heart was full of twists and turns, and the prison king had not forgotten this matter.

"Sure enough, it's it, Xiaoyou got this spear from the well of Gujing Village. ”

Lin Chen's eyes widened, he looked at the Prison King with an incredulous expression, and said, "You, how do you know?"

"Haha...... Back then, I saw the water god Niangniang with my own eyes, and threw it down the foot of the mountain, how could I not know? But later, the heavens and the earth changed, the rivers flowed backwards, and when I broke out of the body, I didn't dare to touch it, I always felt that this was not the water god Niangniang who threw it down when she was angry, but deliberately left something behind, waiting for someone. Now that it's in your hands, maybe it's just waiting for you. ”

Lin Chen also kept thinking that all this was indeed too much of a coincidence. I went around all the way, and I didn't seem to be able to leave a main line, as if there was an invisible big hand, leading me here, but since this way, every step is my own choice, and I haven't seen anyone who can influence the direction of his progress.

Lin Chen fell into deep thought again.
