Chapter 12: The Mysterious Old Man
Qin Tian, who had meditated in his room for an afternoon and an evening, saw that the sky was about to dawn, and the city was once again ushering in the busyness and congestion of a new day. He walked to the window and saw that the shops on both sides of the street were open, and the sound of bargaining began.
After Qin Tian left the room, he walked on the noisy streets and alleys, watched the children run over with a windmill, listened to their laughter, and started a new day's life. Recalling the vicious fight a few days ago, Qin Tiancai knew that his strength was still very poor. I couldn't help but sigh softly.
"What is there to worry about, live for yourself every day, eat and drink, you can be happy!" came a weak old man, who looked like a wanderer, with gray hair, squinting his eyes, and said sadly. He looked weather-beaten.
Qin Tian hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, "Old man, are you also a cultivator?"
The old man sighed slightly and said softly, "To be honest, I started cultivating since I was ten years old, and until now, it has been fifty years. ”
Qin Tian was amazed, and his eyes as he looked at the old man were full of awe and questions.
"Aren't you wondering, why do I look weak, I don't look like a cultivator, and I want to know what realm I am now, right?" the old man said lightly.
Qin Tian nodded and then responded: "Old man, I don't mean to despise you, I also know that cultivators have many tribulations in their lives, this may be the trick of fate! In fact, whether it is an ordinary person or a cultivator, isn't it all the same to be manipulated by fate? Everything is left to fate, not at all!"
When the old beggar heard this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Well said, what is the difference between the so-called ordinary people and cultivators! It's not that the weak eat the strong everywhere, bullies are rampant, and strength always comes first!" When he said this, his tone was full of faint sadness and slight anger.
Qin Tian seemed to hear the words, moved with compassion, and asked, "Could it be that the old gentleman was killed by a traitor?"
When the old man heard this, he was even more angry and said: "Yes, I was known as a peerless genius back then, because I obtained a secret book, became the strongest person at that time, and secretly established a sect hall, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it... I was already old, I don't want to ask the world anymore and want to go into hiding, I abdicated a month later and handed over the position of the hall master to my son, who would have thought, he couldn't wait, he rebelled with his private soldiers, and put poison into my tea, wanting to poison me, but unfortunately my old bones couldn't bear the poisonous hair, so I had to gather an arm to cut it off, leaving only some residual poison in the body, not fatal but causing injuries to occur once a month every year, and my demon temple made them hide. At this, the old man burst into tears.
Qin Tian didn't expect that this old gentleman would be so miserable, and he invariably felt a sense of pity. After Qin Tian stepped into the realm of cultivation, he also heard Yun You talk about similar plots, could it be that the two were the same person?
"I don't know what the old man said about the guy who killed that day, but Qi Xuan, the hall master of the Dark Palace, who is known as the ghost shadow, you are the peerless genius Qi Invincible. Qin Tian asked the old man.
The old man's expression changed, and he exclaimed: "Yes, yes, you have heard of the old man, who is the rebel!" Speaking of this, the old man looked angry and angry.
However, after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but look at Qin Tian suspiciously, and asked, "How did you know?"
Qin Tian responded: "When the kid first cultivated, someone talked to me about it. ”
The old man was shocked, looked at Qin Tian again, glanced back and forth a few times, circled around Qin Tian a few times, and said in surprise: "Your kid is cultivating the Demon God Technique?"
Qin Tian bowed his head and was silent.
"I didn't expect that I actually have a junior brother," the old man shouted. The townspeople came and went, but no one noticed what they were saying, and even if anyone saw it, he would have thought the old man was a madman.
Qin Tian still lowered his voice cautiously and vigilantly, "Old man, what do you mean by this?" Qin Tian was not surprised that the old man was a peerless genius, but what surprised him was that the old man also cultivated the Demon God Technique.
The old man said: "The Demon God Recipe is an ancient exercise, it was given to me by the master and his old man, he called himself the Shura Demon God, and my title is the Immortal Demon God, and the Demon God Recipe will pick its own master every time it appears, and if the Demon God Recipe is obtained by others, it will not be able to be cultivated, because the Demon God Recipe is spiritual." The teacher calculated that I would have a junior brother, that I would have a great disaster, and that my junior brother would help me solve it. ”
looked at Qin Tian with a stunned expression.
The old man gestured and said angrily: "It's a pity, the master died early, and he can't see you, otherwise he will have a good drink with you!"
Qin Tian said: "Old man, there is always a chance for revenge, since we are both cultivating the Demon God Technique, we have a fate, why don't we go to a restaurant and have a meal!"
"Great, old man, I just can't ask for it! But you are my junior brother, so I want to invite you to dinner!" said the old man with a look of shame.
"Naturally, I invited the old gentleman to dinner, you don't rely on the old to sell the old, even if you have money, you won't let it out. Qin Tian said on the side, and the two of them, while talking, walked into a narrow alley. ”
Qin Tian came here for the first time to eat, and he didn't know that there was such a restaurant here. Qin Tian had already reached the realm of the sixth order of quenching the body, and he would not feel hungry if he didn't eat for three days, and at this time, he didn't have to eat, but purely relied on cultivation to reach a stronger realm. Only the poisoned body of the old gentleman can produce hunger, and he has to rely on food to sustain his life.
The reason why Qin Tian wanted to invite the old man to dinner was also based on this reason. So, he just looked at the food on the table and drank two sips of wine from time to time, but did not swallow it, but let the old man enjoy it alone.
The old man had understood what he meant, and his hunger was unbearable, so he unceremoniously ignored his image and devoured it.
After eating, the old man burped three or four times in a row, and then said to Qin Tian: "Thank you, junior brother, for inviting me to this meal." Since the junior brother is so generous and gracious, then junior brother, please come with me to visit the Demon God Branch. ”
"Old man, it's not me who cultivates the Demon God Technique alone. What if I'm not your junior brother?"
"I know how to look at physiognomy. You must be my junior brother, the Demon God Recipe is only cultivated by you and me, after I pull you to the Demon God Branch, you have to familiarize yourself with the environment and people, because it can be a home for you in the future. I want you to take my place and be the next Demon God Hall Master, and I will also call you the Demon God of Destruction if I have your title in mind," the old man said angrily.
