Chapter 57: The Secret of Bluestone City
Qin Shaoyan and Qian Wanneng were Chen An's biggest dependence, but now the two of them fell into a state of excitement, and this was obviously because of the jar of wine called Miyan that the old man took out. Chen An touched his eyebrows, where Chen An's last hole card was hidden.
Thinking of this, Chen An felt a little guilty in his heart, he only cared about following the slave devouring to the black market, but he left behind everything Bai Lixi told him.
Chen An slapped his head with some annoyance, and the old man sitting opposite Chen An saw this, and then Chen An was a little angry, so he smiled and said, "Why is Xiaoyou so angry." Chen An came back to his senses when he heard this, looked at the smile on the face of the old man opposite, and the more he looked at it, the more he looked like that kind of villain's triumphant expression, and he wanted to punch him in the face.
"Didn't you ask knowingly. Chen An said angrily, but the voice could only be heard by himself.
The old man sat down, poured himself a glass of wine, picked up the wine jar again, and made a gesture to pour wine for Chen An. Chen An hurriedly waved his hand, but the old man saw that Chen An refused, but he didn't insist, he sat back on the chair, gently put the wine jar on the table, and said with a smile: "Do you think they are abnormal, it's because I have a problem with this wine." ”
"Your story is lame, how can they not see it, but they just believe it, if it is not your wine, is it their brain. Chen An was in a state of anger, and at the moment he had the courage of a newborn calf, and he was straightforward and fast-talking, and directly collided with the old man's words, but as soon as the words came out, he found that he was a little speechless. He hurriedly turned his head to look at Qin Shaoyan and Qian Wanneng, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the two standing together with their shoulders around each other talking, and they didn't hear what Chen An said just now.
"It's called Miscellaneous, you know why. The old man asked, pointing to the wine jar on the table. Chen An shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, but a look of nostalgia slowly appeared on the old man's face, and he continued: "In a volcano called Red Lotus in the Izumo Realm, there is a flame spirit called Red Lotus Heart Flame, which never stops when it encounters water and does not disperse when it encounters wind. But it also has no grass or trees, it is hidden in the deepest part of the red lotus fire, and it can only be possessed by people, mountain spirits who have obtained spirituality, and demons who have cultivated into adults, and then take them out. ”
Yiyi's face showed a look of confusion, and he said loudly: "Grandpa Zhao, why haven't I heard of it before, and the Izumo realm, you said that my hometown is the Izumo realm, but I don't have any impression at all." The old man looked at Yiyi, his eyes showed kindness, and said, "The Izumo Realm is indeed your hometown, and you will definitely go back there in the future." Speaking of this, the expression on the old man's face became serious, his eyes were firm, and he muttered, "There, there is someone waiting for you to go back." ”
"Someone waiting for me to go back, who are they, is it my parents, or is it my other family?" Yiyi asked with a glint in her eyes. The old man coughed lightly, not intending to answer Yiyi's words, but turned to Chen An and said, "Little friend, where did we just go." ”
Seeing that the old man was reluctant to speak, Yiyi was a little angry and a little helpless, so he had to suppress the restlessness in his heart, put his hands crossed on the table, his chin rested on his arm, his eyes stared at the table, and he had a lot of thoughts.
"I just talked about bringing the fire out. Chen An replied honestly, the mood of the old man in front of him was fickle, a little unpredictable, although he was not interested in the origin of this mysterious wine, but in order to understand the situation of Qin Shaoyan and Qian Wanneg, he had to listen to the old man patiently.
"Oh, yes, the Red Lotus Heart Flame can be carried by people and spirits. It is precisely because people and spirits have hearts that they have all kinds of emotions in the world, such as troubles, happiness, sorrows, and sorrows. These are the nutrients of the Red Lotus Heart, and with these nutrients, the Red Lotus Heart Inflammation can become stronger. And the uniqueness of this misty wine is precisely because it contains very little heart inflammation. The old man said.
"Then why isn't your wine called Xinyan wine, but Maze Yanjiu. Chen An asked, the old man laughed when he heard this, picked up the wine jar and poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all, his face was a little melancholy.
This is the name given by the person who integrated the heart flame into the wine, saying that there are too many troubles in the world, even if the supernatural powers cover the world, what can they do, and it is not that they have a heart that they can't solve. Instead of worrying about these troubles every day, it is better to forget all the things in your heart with wine, be an idiot, and get drunk in the world. ”
Listening to the old man's description, Chen An's mind appeared with a free and easy image of a peerless master who dominated the world and indulged in the world, and he couldn't help but yearn for it.
"I see, this senior is also a dashing person in comparison. A warm voice came, and Chen An followed the prestige, only to see that Qin Shaoyan had already sat on the chair at some point, his face was indifferent, and he did not have the same youthful ambition as before. And Qian Wanneng also sat quietly next to Qin Shaoyan, the expression on his face seemed to be reminiscing.
"Brother Qin, you're okay!" Chen An said in surprise, now Qin Shaoyan has returned to his usual appearance. Qin Shaoyan glanced at Chen An and said with a smile: "What can I do, but this wine is quite peculiar, it makes me feel like I was back when I was young, so proud and ambitious, full of blood, it's really good." ”
"But..."Qin Shaoyan's voice changed, he looked at the old man, and continued: "Old man, you still don't seem to have answered my question. The old man smiled, hugged his fists and said: "What I promised you, the old man will naturally not break his promise, but this matter is not trivial, and the old man will delay until now, to observe whether the three little friends are really people who can be trusted." ”
Qian Wanneng saw that the old man had tested the three of him many times, and couldn't help but be a little angry: "I said that you old man is so grinding and chirping, can you be refreshed, find us to help you, and test us again and again, what do you mean." ”
The old man also knew that what he was doing was not very authentic, and he was a little unreasonable, so he didn't dare to take the money Almighty, so he smiled and said: "The old man is really inappropriate in this matter, in order to apologize, the old man is willing to let the three of them choose one more piece of the treasure house, how about it." ”
Qian Wanneng's heart moved, but his face did not show anything, and he snorted coldly: "Hmph, count you as acquaintances." And Qin Shaoyan and Chen An gladly accepted it.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Qin Shaoyan: "Regarding the doubts of Xiaoyou just now, the old man will answer them one by one. When the three of them heard this, they all became interested, and their eyes looked at the old man in unison, and Yiyi also came back from his thoughts and looked up at the old man.
The old man coughed lightly twice, and said slowly: "The prophecy I said earlier is indeed true, although it sounds a little unbelievable, but it is all true. As for that incident, I don't know if the three little friends have heard of the beast tide. ”
Qin Shaoyan and Chen An shook their heads lightly, and Qian Wanneng paused when he saw the old man, looked at everyone, and couldn't help but be a little impatient, "You old man, can you stop selling Guanzi, I really don't want to listen to it if you don't say it." ”
The old man's face turned red, and he suddenly said urgently: "Don't don't, the old man doesn't sell the guanzi, that's it, that's it." After speaking, the old man coughed lightly twice, and continued: "That beast tide is something more terrifying than the black tide, among the beast tide, there are all demon beasts, if there are dozens or hundreds, it is not enough to be afraid, but if the number reaches thousands or hundreds, it is this ordinary city, and it is difficult to resist." In the event of a black tide, you can still dodge, and in the event of a beast tide, you really have to prepare for the destruction of the city and the death of people. ”
Qian Wanneng smiled and said: "I said that you are really dead-eyed, those demon beasts are going to come to attack the city, you can't just run, go to other cities." Or ask for support from other cities. ”
The old man sighed, his face was bitter, and he was embarrassed: "If he could run, the old man would have fled with the people of the city for his life." Do you know that the nearest city is also tens of thousands of miles away from each other, and along the way, not only the black tide that appears from time to time, but also the monster beast that suddenly appeared. Before the other cities, these people were almost dead. As for that support, alas, some people from outside the realm have recently appeared in the main city out of nowhere, turning the main city upside down, and Lord Heizun has already summoned the holy envoys sent to the various cities, how can there be anyone to support. ”
Hearing this, Chen An's hearts moved, and they turned their heads to look at each other a few times, thinking that those people outside the realm, could it be that Bai Lixi and others in the secret realm discovered the portal and forcibly called in.
Qian Wanneng turned his head to the old man and asked, "Don't you have a city lord, you have a high top when something happens, what are you doing here?" The old man sneered, and said in a somewhat cold voice: "Hmph, what bullshit city lord, those people sent to monitor the lackey, he still wants us to die." If it weren't for the fear of retaliation, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to wait for the beast tide, and he would have already done it. ”
Qian Wanneng and Qin Shaoyan's hearts froze, and their feelings about this city became more mysterious and complicated. Qin Shaoyan didn't want to continue to understand this matter, he knew that there were some things that he knew as little as possible, so he asked, "In that case, how does the old gentleman want us to help you." ”
The old man was sitting with a serious expression, and he said sincerely: "I also ask the three holy beads to lend the black beads to the old man." The old man can use this black bead to open the big array in the clan and protect the lives of the people of Bluestone City. ”
Qin Shaoyan nodded, thinking that the old man's request was nothing, and at the same time he had some doubts about the old man's performance, so he said seemingly casually: "The old gentleman does not hesitate to use heavy treasures to promise to save the people in this city, the old man is really a loving person." ”
Yiyi came to her senses at this time, she raised her head and said: "That's not it, my Grandpa Zhao is highly respected, who among the people in this Qingshi City does not respect my Grandpa Zhao, you go to the street and ask someone casually, there is no one who does not say that my Grandpa Zhao is good." It was as if the person she was talking about was herself.
And the old man waved his hand again and again, and said abruptly: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, the old man is not a philanthropic person, the people of this bluestone city are all victims who have been implicated like the old man, if it weren't for some elders in the family outside, I'm afraid they would have been killed a long time ago." The old man did this, just to accumulate some good karma. Speaking of this, the old man looked at Yiyi deeply, his eyes full of expectations.
Seeing the old man's appearance, Yiyi immediately straightened his waist, his eyes showed determination, and said to the old man: "Grandpa Zhao, don't worry, I will work hard, I will become a respected person like you in the future." The old man shook his head and laughed when he heard this, stretched out his hand and touched Yiyi's head dotingly, and said, "Silly child." ”
Chen An looked at Yiyi's determined appearance, and inexplicably had a feeling that the girl in front of him, who looked younger than himself, although she was weak on the outside, but there was a perseverance in her bones that was different from ordinary people, and under the comparison between the two, there was a unique charm.
And Qin Shaoyan and Qian Wanneng were silent and chose to be silent, the old man seemed to be emotional, but behind every word he said, there seemed to be a great secret. The two are not timid people, but they are not ignorant of the heavens and the earth, they know that the world is sinister, and if they are not careful, they will be swept into a whirlpool that is difficult to get out of. So the two of them skimmed over the information in the old man's words and cautiously asked some doubts.
After a moment of conversation, the old man got up and led everyone down the pavilion to the place of the circle below.
"This is the teleportation circle in the clan, which can be transmitted to various cities, but it has not been used for a long time, and the old man is not sure whether the teleportation location is accurate. The old man handed each of them a crimson token.
said: "This is the teleportation token, the three of them can be activated with the spiritual power in their bodies, and they can be teleported to other cities, if they want to come back, activate this token in other teleportation arrays, and they will return here." ”
Chen An took the token, only to feel that the texture of the token was warm, and it was very silky and comfortable to hold in his hand. Qian Wanneng's eyes lit up, and he kept rubbing the token in his hand with his hand, and muttered, "What kind of material is this, I have never seen it." Qin Shaoyan played with it for a moment and put away the token.
The old man then walked to the four stone pillars, and pressed his hand on the eyes of the divine beast carved in relief on the stone pillars, and suddenly, the sounds of "pop" and "pop" came one after another, and all those stone boxes were opened.
"Everyone, please choose. The old man opened his hands and smiled like a rich man, while Yiyi on the side frowned a little sadly, as if he was distressed that these treasures were to be given to others.
