Chapter 296: The Old Man

Ignoring the surprise on Elvis's face, Zintz walked briskly towards the thatched hut. The thatched hut is not big or high, and the thatched grass that is somewhat blackened is spread on the roof in a mess, showing its longevity. Occasionally, a thatch would fall in the breeze. In this empty meadow, it undoubtedly looks a little sad.

"Anyone?" said Zintz, tilting his head to look at the only tattered windowsill.

"Sister, don't go in. "Seeing that Zintz was about to push open the 'door', which was also made of thatch, Elvis hurriedly shouted.

Qingtz turned his head mischievously, grimaced, and then gently stretched out his 'jade' hand and slowly pushed open the 'door'. As the 'door' slowly pushed open, the whole thatched hut seemed to tremble gently, as if it might fall down at any moment.

Inside the thatched house, it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen. Since the windowsill is in tatters, there is very little light to get into. However, just as Zintz's raised right foot had not yet fallen into the house, he noticed a person slowly walking out of the house.

Qingci exclaimed, quickly retreated, and took a few steps back, only then did he pat his chest and look cautiously into the room.

Seeing Qingci's appearance, Elvis and Yang Yan hurriedly ran towards her, but saw an elderly man slowly walking out of the house. Although the old man's face has been baptized by the years, it still looks so dignified. Ice beard and snow sideburns, his back is slightly hunched, under the sun, his back is stretched long and long, he is not so comfortable walking, every step seems so careful, so steady.

The old man didn't speak after he came out, but slowly swept his cloudy gaze from the three of them, and in his gaze, he sometimes 'revealed' a little joy, and he looked very surprised inside. The coarse cloth shirt of black 'color' hung down heavily, and the dark 'colored' cane in his hand swayed gently.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry, we didn't mean to. Seeing that the old man's face looked a little serious, Qingci hurriedly said. Although she is a sword venerable, but in the face of this mysterious old man, she does not dare to act rashly, not to mention that her curiosity disturbs the rest of the other party, as a descendant of a big family, she naturally treats people with courtesy.

Although the three of them could hardly feel a trace of energy 'waves' from the old man's body, the person who stayed in this desert was probably an old monster again. And from that steady pace, you can perceive a faint noble temperament.

"You're going to the Ice Temple. As if he hadn't heard Qingtz's words, the old man looked at the three of them and asked softly. The hoarse voice came out softly, but the three of them were shocked.

"Yes Grandpa, why do you live here alone?" said Elvis politely, stepping forward, bowing respectfully.

"Isn't it good to live here?" said the old man with a faint smile. "Don't you think the scenery here is beautiful, and if it's not beautiful, why do you have to walk this mountain road?"

"It's very beautiful here, but I didn't expect my grandfather to be so old, but he is still old and strong, which really makes us juniors feel ashamed. Elvis said with a smile.

"Come here. The old man glanced at Elvis, then pointed at Yang Yan and said.

"Me?" Yang Yan asked softly, pointing his finger at his face.

The old man nodded with a smile and gently put his cane in front of him. His face was kind, as if his grandfather was looking forward to his grandson's return soon.

Yang Yan did not refuse, and hurriedly took a few steps forward and came to the old man's side. However, when approaching the position where the old man was on crutches, he suddenly felt a sudden lightness in his body, as if he had no strength under his feet at all. A trace of panic flashed quickly on his face, but when he saw the wrinkled smiling face of the old man, he quickly put away his nervousness.

The old man said "hehe" twice, and then 'inserted' the crutch on the ground, but he slowly stepped forward and had zero contact with Yang Yan.

Elvis and Zintz were puzzled, who was this old man who had never met, and why did he behave so closely when he saw Yang Yan?

But the old man slowly stretched out his hands, gently held Yang Yan's arm, and nodded from time to time. The hands slowly fell from Yang Yan's shoulders and slowly came to the palms. The old man gently turned Yang Yan's palm over, so that the palm was upward. Squinted his eyes, and immediately 'revealed' a trace of 'essence' in the flash, and a smile flashed.

Suddenly, Yang Yan only felt that the air around him suddenly became cooler, as if the cold air in a hot day made people feel so comfortable. What's even more peculiar is that there seems to be a piece of cold ice in the palm of his hand, although the faint cold air does not make him feel cold, but he can feel the cold air coming from the palm of his hand, or the energy.

Soon, Yang Yan's palm began to emit white light, like mist, ethereal, dancing with the wind. Seeing this moment, the Elvis brothers and sisters almost opened their mouths wide, isn't this the old man teaching Yang Yan his skills?

But Yang Yan didn't know, but he always felt that his whole body was indescribably comfortable. And the old man also stood firmly on the ground. Although he was a little lower than Yang Yan, at this moment, it made people feel that Yang Yan was shorter.

The old man gently held Yang Yan's palm for only half a minute, and then slowly let go. Finally, he gently patted Yang Yan's 'legs', smiled, swept his snow-white beard, took a step back, grabbed his crutches, and had a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth. From time to time, he exclaimed. "Not bad......

"Grandpa, who are you?" The coolness suddenly disappeared, and Yang Yan quickly opened his somewhat hazy eyes as if he had just woken up from a dream, and said in surprise.

"Grandpa, aren't you too selfless? After all, you're so old......" Zintz hurriedly stepped forward and said. All those who cultivate sword qi know that the higher they go, the more difficult it is to cultivate, and to pass on their skills to others, it will take a lot of time to replenish them.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that I found that this child's body is a little messy, and I just helped him sort it out. The old man looked at Yang Yan without looking back, and said thoughtfully.

Hearing the old man say this, Yang Yan found that the sword qi in his body seemed to be running much more smoothly, one after another, without the slightest disorder. Yang Yan couldn't help but be shocked, it seems that the old man in front of him is not simple. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but look at the old man twice with excitement.

"By the way, you guys are going to the Ice and Snow Temple, do you know the hardships along the way?" said the old man, as if he had suddenly remembered something, looking at Zintz.

"The younger generation doesn't know, and I hope that grandpa will mention more. Elvis said quickly. He has been struggling with cultivation, but he doesn't care about things outside, so he has the brains to hunt down Yang Yan, the blood demon, at that time. When Frank found out when he returned home, he realized how childish his actions were.

"I guess you also know that every hundred years there will be a 'wave' and 'tide' of Warcraft. The old man said lightly. "Those demonic beasts came out of this forest of ten thousand beasts. The two empires, no matter who wants to go to the Ice and Snow Temple, must pass through this Ten Thousand Beast Forest and go through the test of the demonic beasts in it. ”

"Grandpa, isn't there any other way to go?" Yang Yan's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked.

"Nope. The old man shook his head and said. "There is only one path, and it passes through the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, although it does not pass through the center, but the danger in it is beyond the ordinary people can resist. Therefore, those who participate in the race for the first time will lose some of them on the way. ”

"This is the 'Yin' plot of the Ice and Snow Temple!" Yang Yan said in a deep voice. "Why do you want to drill this trap?"

"It's indeed a 'yin' scheme, but the more this happens, the more the two empires will not admit defeat, so every time there will be no fewer people participating in the competition than the last time. The old man said with a sneer. "In the sky above the Ten Thousand Beast Forest, there is a group of supreme-level demonic beasts, and the number is probably not less than twenty. They are extremely familiar with the aura of the air, and if they spot another creature approaching, they will destroy it as soon as possible, leaving no trace. ”

Yang Yan's heart trembled, if Yang Chengqiu hadn't passed through the air at the beginning, there must have been a demonic beast below. Thinking about it again, Song Yan said that he didn't find any trace of Yang Chengqiu's breath, could it be that it passed through the air? Yang Yan didn't dare to think about it anymore, and kept saying 'impossible' in his heart.

"Child, there are things that are not until the end, never give up. Seeing that Yang Yan's face was getting paler and paler, the old man said softly.

Elvis and Qingci also turned their heads suspiciously, looked at Yang Yan, and were about to speak, but heard the old man say again. "After all these years of observation, I found that the demonic beasts in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts have a hobby, that is, eating people!" Hearing the first half, the three of them couldn't help but see hope, but the last few words made the hearts of the three of them fall to a low point again.

"What's the matter, are you scared?" the old man said with a smile looking at the three of them looking a little lost. "As the saying goes, when the magic is high, the road is high. Since they are all murderous, they are not impossible. ”

"Is there any good way that Grandpa can't do?" Elvis quickly asked, his eyes lit up.

"What these demonic beasts are afraid of is a kind of breath, a kind of kingly spirit. The old man nodded, not denying it. "I'm not sure what that breath is, but I'm sure it has an effect, and I've inadvertently collected some. And you can meet me unintentionally, which also shows that we are destined, if you don't dislike it, you can go and try it. ”

As he spoke, the old man's hands were filled with two silver rings the size of bracelets. The circle is so thin that if you don't look closely, you can't find it at all. Elvis and Zintz took the silver ring excitedly, held it gently in their hands, and suddenly felt a trace of tyranny and coldness.
