"The old man didn't want to pay attention to the grievances and grievances of Barren Mountain City, so he lived here in isolation, and it has been more than thirty years!" His eyes were embarrassed and confused, and the old man said with emotion on his face: "In the past thirty years, the old man has also met many elite disciples of various sects who have come here to experience, like you, who are young and humble, and vigorous and upward!" ”

"Hey, that old gentleman, you have met the disciples of those sects!" Hearing the old man talk about the martial arts sect of the Han Empire, Dusk was very curious and hurriedly asked.

"I want to think about it... It seems that there are young talents from the Xiaoyao School, and there are also Buddhist novices from Shaolin Temple, who have met the young chivalrous warriors of the Wuyue Sword Sect, and have also seen the elite agents of the Dragon Guardian Villa..." As he spoke, the old man in a trance smiled bitterly, rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "It's been too long, and some of them can't be remembered clearly!" ”

Xiaoyao faction, Shaolin Temple, Wuyue Sword faction, Dragon Guardian Villa, this information is a bit big!

"That old gentleman is really well-informed!" Frowning, he lay on the table in the middle of dusk, making the table creak, and asked, "Then what is their strength!" ”

"The old man hasn't touched with them, how can he know their strength!" Glancing at the young man, the old man said: "But to be able to come here to practice, I think the strength should be good!" ”

"It's too!" After a haha, Dusk suppressed the embarrassment and asked, "By the way, old man, why are you in this world, is it possible that you are too..."

Hearing the young man's words, the old man's face remained unchanged, he looked at the young man with a smile, and asked rhetorically: "If the old man said that he was thrown to this isolated death place by the law enforcers because the killing he committed was too heavy, do you believe it or not, young man!" ”

"Haha, I don't know if I should believe it or not!" Faced with the old man's rhetorical question, he shrugged his shoulders and replied ambiguously at dusk.

Dusk is a house, but he is not stupid, from the first step in this world, he has already raised twelve points of vigilance, in the barren mountains and mountains, when he encounters such an old man, if he wants to say only three or two sentences, he will trust him, Dusk is not so naïve and stupid.

"Actually..." It seems that what he said just now was a joke, the old man sighed, and explained with a little bitterness: "The old man has been living in this ghost place since he was born, and now he is about to enter the ground, and he has never seen the colorful world outside, what is it like!" ”

Feeling the kind of longing and yearning for the outside world coming from the old man, Dusk looked at the gray world outside and shrouded everything, nodded in agreement, he stayed here for less than a day, Dusk was tired of this abandoned land, not to mention that the old man had lived here for decades!

"In this world, people are born with sins, and from the first moment they come to this world, they will spend their lives in this barren land to wash away the sins committed in the outside world for their fathers and even grandparents!" As if thinking of the tragic past, a little bit of turbid tears gathered in the old man's eyes, and the old man continued: "If it is not for the law enforcers, no one is allowed to kill children under the age of ten, otherwise, I am afraid that no child born here can survive!" ”

"How can the sins of the elders be imposed on future generations, this is too ruthless!" sighed a few words, and in the face of this cruel world, Dusk said to the old man: "However, is there no way to get out of here!" ”

A glimmer of light flashed under the turbid tears, and the old man wiped his tears with his tattered cuffs, shook his head, and said, "No, except for you disciples who have come here to practice, other people who have been exiled because of their sins, or who were born in this land, will never be able to leave this place in their lifetime!" ”

"Is it impossible!" looked at the old man sympathetically, Dusk didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only watch silently and quietly.

This sea area is much more cruel than you think!

The young man didn't speak, and the room immediately quieted down, the old man was probably used to being sad, and before the young man could figure out how to comfort him, he recovered himself.

"The boy is smiling!" Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, looking at the young man with a sympathetic face, but he didn't know what to say, the old man pretended to smile easily, and said: "The old man is about to enter the ground, to be honest, he is used to this world, if he really lets me out, I'm afraid the old man may not be able to adapt to the outside world of flowers!" ”

"The old gentleman can think of it!" Dusk could only whisper a word of harmony.

"I can't think of any way, it's been all over the years!" Shaking his head again, the old man comforted himself.

While the two were talking, a ragged woman took a broken bowl, carefully placed it on the table, looked up at the young man, and before she could speak, she was frightened by the old man's cold drink and hurriedly withdrew from the house.

Seeing a bowl of water in the bowl that seemed to be scooped out of the boiling Yellow River, Dusk pursed his chapped lips, a trace of tangle flashed on his face, and he whispered: "If only there was wine!" ”

"Don't dislike it, young man, this world is like this, the environment is too bad, it's good to have saliva to drink!" Pushing the broken bowl in front of dusk, the old man explained: "If you want to drink clear water, on Barren Mountain Island, I'm afraid only the owner of the island and those very few people are qualified, let alone the legendary wine!" ”

"Oh, why, the old gentleman has drunk fine wine here, too!" Picking up the broken bowl, Dusk blew hard in the bowl, except for a few ripples, the water in the bowl was still so turbid.

"Yes, I think back then, the old man was also a figure with a head and a face on Barren Mountain Island, and by chance, he tasted a glass of wine!" As if recalling the taste of that glass of wine, the old man looked happy and intoxicated, and said: "If you can drink another glass in your lifetime, then the old man will die without regrets!" ”

"By the way, old man!" didn't care about the old man's feelings, and after casually responding to a sentence, he still seemed to dislike the water was too dirty, put it to his mouth at dusk and tangled it for a long time, sighed, put it on the table, and asked the old man: "There is no life in this world, how do you usually cultivate your internal strength!" ”

"How can there be a chance to cultivate internal strength!" The old man smiled bitterly: "Except for some powerful people who have pills that can gather qi, people like us can only cultivate external skills, not to mention, even if the great powers in the domain have pills, I'm afraid they are overstretched to restore internal strength, so let alone take them out for people to cultivate!" ”

"That's just as well!" Thinking of the environment of this world, Dusk nodded.

"Guy, do you still dislike this water!" Seeing that the young man looked left and right, but never drank half a drop of the water in the bowl, the old man said with a little disappointment.

"It's not that I dislike it, maybe I don't fit in for a while!" Dusk naturally didn't say that he really couldn't swallow this water, so he could only explain forcibly.

"Alright then!" Expressing his understanding of the young man's behavior, the old man did not force the young man, but said with a smile: "Young man, you are new to Deserted Mountain Island, it is better to stay for a light meal, and by the way, the old man will give you a brief introduction to the situation of Deserted Mountain Island!" ”

"This..." hesitated for a moment, but in the face of the enthusiastic old man, Dusk still agreed to the old man's invitation half-pushed.
