Chapter 22: Green Ox and White Hair

"Where did the two of you come from?" Above the green cow, the old man closed his eyes lightly and asked Duan Wuyan slowly.

At this time, Chen Changtian's injuries seemed to have improved greatly. The fireflies released by the old man were endless, seeping into Chen Changtian's body little by little, and slowly floating out...... Every time the green light flashed, Chen Changtian's face would improve slightly.

Duan Wuyan saw that Chen Changtian's face gradually became bloody, and then he also put down a hanging heart, and while kneeling down to the old man and thanking him, he said, "The two of us are ordered by the old man of the Tianyu Mountain Quanqing Sect to go to the Western Regions to investigate the matter. ”

The old man breathed softly and said in a deep voice, "All Puritan...... Western regions...... Now that the two worlds are in harmony, water cannot be combined with fire, and fire cannot be defeated by water. Everything in the world has changed because of that event, and you two have a long way to go......"

Duan Wuyan sighed and said, "There is a long way to go, of course there is a long way to go! Not long after we set off, we encountered danger and almost lost our lives. ”

As he was speaking, Duan Wuyan glanced at Chen Changtian, only to see that Chen Changtian was no longer coughing up blood, and his breath had become extremely smooth.

The old man's lightly closed eyes rolled slightly, and then he said softly, "Your friend is not very human...... Well...... The cultivation is not shallow, how could he suddenly be injured like this?"

Duan Wuyan laughed at himself and said, "Alas, it's all my fault that I have to go out to find something to eat." As a result, I met a very powerful scholar halfway, and in order to save me, he became like this. ”

The old man couldn't help but wonder slightly: "Scholar?"

"Yes! Duan Wuyan's brows frowned, and he explained: "A scholar with a pen, with a casual drawing in the air, can turn the things he writes into living things. We're both enemies, but ......."

The old man frowned suddenly, and asked again, "Do you know who this scholar is?"

Duan Wuyan thought for a moment, and then responded: "He said that his name is 'Luo Shusheng', and it seems that his fate is Kun. ”

The old man suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a sudden sadness in his pair of clear yellow pupils.

The old man sighed and said, "This is cause and effect, cause and effect ......."

Duan Wuyan couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "You know each other?"

The old man laughed at himself and said, "Heh, is there more than just acquaintance? In the final analysis, his skills are taught by the old man." ”

Hearing this, Duan Wuyan was shocked for a moment, but in an instant, Duan Wuyan shook his head again and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible." ”

The old man slowly turned his gaze to Duan Wuyan, as if he was asking rhetorically.

Duan Wuyan said: "Luo Shusheng said that he has no sect, no sect, and no master. ”

"That's now," the old man sighed slightly, and said slowly, "He was once my only disciple. ”

Duan Wuyan's eyes widened slightly, as if he was puzzled.

The old man smiled bitterly twice and talked about the past.

"Back then, I didn't want to be polluted with the world, so I hid in the mountains and never asked about the world. But one day, a doll came to my retreat for some reason. At first, I just wanted to give him a few mouthfuls to eat, and when his family came looking for him, I would return the doll. But what I didn't expect was that after many years, no one came to look for it. ”

Duan Wuyan couldn't help but snickered: "You live in seclusion in this deserted mountain, it's strange that others can find you." ”

The old man continued: "Later, when the child grew up, I thought that I would let him go down the mountain when he had the ability. But what I didn't expect was that this kid would worship me as a teacher. I took a closer look at his attributes, and it turned out to be the same clan as me, all of whom belonged to the Kun family. Actually, I didn't mean to accept the apprentice at that time, but the old man has lived with this child for many years, and he also has a relationship. In the end, the old man accepted him as an apprentice. ”

"This kid is very talented, and he is very good at danqing. So later, the old man helped him create a paintbrush as a magic weapon. But what the old man didn't expect was that the child actually realized the supernatural powers from the painting and had the ability to summon painting beasts. I was happy to do that. But later, I had a dream. ”

Duan Wuyan suddenly wondered: "Dreaming, what's wrong with dreaming? Who doesn't dream? I dream every day." ”

The old man shook his head slowly and sighed, "It was not an ordinary dream, he saw the appearance of the ancient beast gluttony from the dream, and after waking up, he painted it with a paintbrush. The old man knew that what he painted was gluttony. Because it is not different from what is recorded in some ancient books. ”

"A few days later, my disciple dreamed of the other three beasts. Every time he saw the appearance of those monsters drawn by him, the old man's heart would tremble. Why did he dream of these things, and if he used these beasts to bring disaster to the world, what kind of catastrophe would the world suffer? So then I had to stop him from drawing these demons and monsters again. This is both to prevent him from going mad and to allow him to focus on his cultivation......"

"Alas, alas......," the old man sighed again, and continued, "but I stopped him, and the more he became obsessed with those terrible things, at last he had the idea of taking away my power. I fought him a few times, and I knew that he would definitely be no match for me, after all, he was my apprentice, but what I didn't expect was that he would attack me with the gluttony he had drawn. ”

"At first, I was amazed by the gluttony, but gradually, I realized that the gluttony was only on the surface, and its real power came from the painter himself. In terms of skill, the two of you may not be able to defeat him, but you are just shocked by the empty but terrifying form after seeing the gluttony. ”

Duan Wuyan clapped his hand and said, "That's the case! I knew that I shouldn't have hidden, and that gluttony was nothing powerful!"

The old man nodded and said, "That's right, he was driven down the mountain by me and never came back. I later commissioned some creatures to investigate his condition, but I didn't expect him to become a pleasure in taking over people. When I thought about it, I realized that it was even more terrifying. ”

Duan Wuyan frowned and asked, "What?"

"As long as a cultivator knows how to do it, he can take away anyone's cultivation, but few people know how to use other people's cultivation. Because gossip is different and mutually exclusive, it is difficult to turn it into one's own ability. But he, that is, today's scholar, is not. His brush can paint all things, and the beast is an individual with whom he is connected but still divisible. Therefore, Luo Shusheng does not need to use his skills for his own use, he only needs to inject the skills of others into his own painting beasts. In this way, even if the painting beast is injured, he will not be counterattacked. ”

Duan Wuyan couldn't help but exclaim: "Since he won't be counterattacked, wouldn't the painting beast also be controlled by him?"

The old man paused slightly, and said: "That's right, if one day, he draws the four fierce beasts and injects the power of others, then once the fierce beasts get out of control, the world that countless ancestors have saved with their lives today will also fall into catastrophe again." ”

When Duan Wuyan heard this, his heart immediately sank, and he blurted out: "Another big trouble......

The old man was slightly stunned, then turned his gaze to Chen Changtian again, and then said slowly: "It doesn't matter if it's a fake beast, but if a real beast is born, then the world will be a real catastrophe." ”

Duan Wuyan immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and said secretly in his heart: "Could it be that this old man knows about Chen Changtian?"

The old man squinted his eyes slightly, and saw that Duan Wuyan's face had changed. But the old man still didn't break it, but only said: "In this world, there is life and death, and if there is life in the world, then someone has to die." ”

Duan Wuyan's heart suddenly trembled, and he said in his heart: "Could it be that he wants me to kill Chen Changtian?"

"Brother Duan......" Suddenly, Chen Changtian coughed lightly and called out.

At this time, there was an indescribable smile on the old man's face, which seemed to be asking a question and answering.

Duan Wuyan looked into the old man's eyes, and his heart was full of turmoil. If Chen Changtian dies, it can solve a major crisis in the world, and the Duan family will not suffer the catastrophe of the world; but if Chen Changtian really dies, then Duan Wuyan is ashamed of Chen Changtian desperately saving each other and swearing to protect each other.

Chen Changtian was still weak at this time, and he still couldn't stand up, so he just asked softly, "What are you talking about...... What world, what life and death ......"

In an instant, Duan Wuyan suddenly closed his eyes, and blamed himself in his heart: "Duan Wuyan, Duan Wuyan! What kind of bullshit are you! When will the heavy responsibility of rescuing the common people fall on you? Chen Changtian will save you desperately! But you want to kill him? Duan Wuyan, you are really shameless!"

Duan Wuyan scolded himself fiercely in his heart, and he felt a lot better for a while.

Chen Chang struggled to prop himself up, half-sat on the ground, and hugged his fists to the old man and said, "Thank you seniors for saving your life." ”

The old man smiled slightly and said, "Your life was saved by this little brother, and it has nothing to do with the old man." ”

Duan Wuyan was shocked again, and wondered in his heart: "Could it be that I can't hide everything I think in my heart from this old man?

The old man sighed softly, then beckoned to the creatures around him, and then rode away slowly on the green ox.

The old man sat staggering on the green ox while smiling and chanting: "The heart is speechless, and the heart is speechless, and the heart is unintentional." ”

Duan Wuyan frowned, and bowed deeply to the old man's back.

The sun is setting, and a thousand birds are returning to the forest. A group of white deer spirit sheep, golden monkeys and jade horses surrounded the old man and walked towards the mountain.

"Brother Duan...... I'm so hungry......" Chen Changtian said to Duan Wuyan while lying on the ground.

When Duan Wuyan heard this, he immediately felt unbearable hunger in his stomach, and now that the dry food was spilled on the road, the gluttony sent by the scholar was also crushed by the gluttony he drawn.

Duan Wuyan couldn't help laughing at himself, he had known that he wouldn't have gone looking for something to eat, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many things.

Chen Changtian shouted softly twice: "Brother Duan, do we still have dry food?"

Duan Wuyan couldn't help but smile and said, "It's gone! It's long gone! I'll go find something to eat! See if I can beat two rabbits." ”

But as soon as the words fell, Duan Wuyan regretted what he had just said.

Duan Wuyan said in his heart: "That old man is also half a mountain god here, so I'd better eat vegetarian for two days first." ”

Immediately, Duan Wuyan smiled at Chen Changtian and said, "Wait, I'll go pick some mushrooms, you sit well, don't die here." ”

Chen Chang leaned his hand over his stomach and smiled slightly.

Duan Wuyan strode towards the forest, and after taking less than two steps, he heard a "grunt" sound from Chen Changtian's stomach behind him.
