Chapter Twenty-Nine: I Have Been to That Place
The rainy day in Ningchuan is Chen Xian's love, because only in this kind of weather, this old city will feel so quiet, as if all the hustle and bustle has disappeared from this world, and the whole person will gradually calm down with this gray sky......
But at this moment, Chen Xian is a little tired of this calm, maybe he has experienced too much, or it may be that he has become accustomed to getting along with everyone in recent days, he has gradually become accustomed to living with everyone from liking to be alone......
It was quiet in the car.
It's also quiet on the road.
On this gray and rainy day, it was as if the world had fallen silent.
No matter how many people come and go on the street, they can't dispel Chen Xian's strange loneliness, just like no one in this world has anything to do with him, he is a stranger with a familiar face when he passes by, and he is just a stranger from a foreign land, even if he walks on the street with an umbrella like them, he will feel out of place.
Chen Xian hated this feeling, so he walked faster.
The old liar knew that Chen Xian was coming, so he prepared meals in the grocery store early, and finally brought a small bench to sit at the door of the store, like an empty nester, he seemed a little lonely, but he was not really so lonely, at least he looked at him smoking a cigarette and waiting for Chen Xian with Erlang's legs crossed It was still quite leisurely.
"Grandpa Ge!"
"Yo, here?"
Seeing the familiar figure walking towards him step by step, the old liar hurriedly got up with a cigarette in his mouth and greeted him with a smile.
"What about Xiao Muhe? Why are you here alone? ”
"They went out today for something and said they would come to see you in a few days."
Chen Xian walked to the door of the store and instinctively supported the old man who was walking towards him, although he knew that the old man in front of him was the legendary old man who was enough to be on an equal footing with the director of the secret guard, but ...... In Chen Xian's opinion, the identity of the old liar is very weak, and he is more of the liar grandfather who has played with him since he was a child.
Suddenly supported by Chen Xian, the old liar couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then showed a smile.
The old liar is a very strong person, anyone who is familiar with him knows this, if someone looks at him as an ordinary old man, he will think that you are scolding him, that is, Chen Xian is the only exception.......
"Let's eat hot pot today, you accompany grandpa to drink some."
"Huh...... Yes! ”
Chen Xian doesn't like to drink, he has been like this since he was a child, but the old liar, a drunkard, has been trying to let him drink with him for ten years, it is undeniable that Chen Xian is also more face-selling to him, as long as the old man opens his mouth, he will inevitably accompany him to drink three or five glasses, and the same is true today....... The old man of Yin City personally cooked a table of hot meals, and Chen Xian could see that except for a few small dishes he used to serve wine, the other dishes on the table were his favorite dishes.
Before talking about business, Chen Xian felt that he needed to have a good meal with the old liar.
At the dinner table, the old liar seemed to be in high spirits, as if he hadn't eaten a meal so happily for a long time, and had been chatting with Chen about Meishan's gossip while drinking wine all the time.
"You went to Meishan in another world?" The old liar took a sip of wine, as if he had expected all this to Chen Xian, and his face was full of a smile on his face that had succeeded in his plan, "Have you seen that pool?" ”
"See." Chen Xian nodded, and couldn't help the doubts in his heart and asked, "Ge Ye, did you already know that we would travel to that ghost place?" ”
The old liar snorted, beckoned to Chen Xian, and motioned for him to help him get the lighter on the counter.
After he lit his cigarette and took two puffs of pleasure, the old liar continued.
"Of course I do, because I've been to that place."
Chen Xian was not surprised to hear the old liar's words, because he had been pondering since he came back from Meishan...... There is the shadow of an old liar from beginning to end, could it be that he arranged all this?
The old man should know a lot more than he told himself.
"The blood of the ancient gods in the pool has been absorbed by me, and I seem to be stronger than before." Chen Xian looked at the old liar quietly, his eyes rolling on his face all the time.
"It's normal to get stronger." The old liar smiled and nodded, "If there was no ancient blood pool in that place, I wouldn't have arranged for you to go there." ”
The old liar didn't speak as secretive as before, perhaps because of the matter of Meishan Ancient Blood Pool, he was willing to confide in Chen Xian a lot more information at the moment.
"Does the Ancient Blood Pool have anything to do with me?" Chen Xian's expression when he asked was not serious, on the contrary, there was a kind of leisurely chatting and gossiping with the elders in the family, "I seem to be able to get stronger every time I enter the ancient blood pool, and I was ...... in the south of the city last time."
"It's best not to tell outsiders about this kind of thing." The old liar took a chopstick of braised pork and ate it slowly, although the tone of his voice was so relaxed, there was still a trace of solemnity in his eyes, "You will have a big deal when you say this. Cumbersome. ”
"I know." Chen Xian nodded and replied, "Except for what I saw with my own eyes at the scene...... Only you know out there. ”
"Did you see it with your own eyes?" The old liar glanced at Chen Xian and asked curiously, "What about so many people, aren't you afraid that they will betray you?" ”
Chen Xian thought about it and said, don't be afraid.
"You have a big heart, and if I ......," said the old liar jokingly, "something like this will definitely kill someone." ”
With that, the old liar raised his glass and slowly took a sip of the high liquor in the glass.
"I thought you kid couldn't hold back and wanted to ask me a bunch of questions, why did I end up asking you...... No sense of accomplishment at all! The old liar sighed.
"I want to ask you, but the question is..... I asked, would you like to say? Chen Xian asked tentatively.
The old liar thought seriously for a while, and then replied, "Of course the fuck won't say it!" ”
"That's it!" Chen Xian looked at him helplessly.
"Actually, I can't blame grandpa, I sold off...... The main thing is that I don't have the final say...... What's more, Chen Ba's old immortal told us before leaving......." The old liar sighed, and seemed to be helpless, "All in all, those things are not as simple as you think, listen to grandpa's advice, don't ask now, there will be a time when you will know in the future......"
"Okay, I won't ask, let's eat." Chen Xian smiled, and didn't press to ask anything.
Suddenly, the old liar turned his head sideways and looked to the side, it was the suitcase that Chen Xian used to hold the meat saw.
"Didn't you say there was something wrong with this knife? Take it out and I'll take a look at it for you! ”
"Okay."
At this moment, the suitcase containing the meat saw knife was still taken from the old liar, and it looked no different from an antique at first, but after a simple cleaning, Chen Xian unexpectedly found that this box was extremely practical, although the hardware inside did not know how many years old it was a real old cultural relic, but it was still very smooth to use, especially after cleaning, it was as bright as new and complete, and there was no trace left by the years.
The old liar took the meat saw from Chen Xian's hand and played with it familiarly, the look in his eyes became more and more curious, and he silently looked at the weapon in his hand that should have been extremely familiar but unexpectedly felt very unfamiliar.
"It's weird...... Obviously it doesn't look like it's changed...... But it seems to be more angry than before...... It hides a higher life force....... It's like a living blade......"
"When I came into contact with it, I received some strange messages." Chen Xian picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and said quietly, "It says it's called the Elegy of the Old Gods." ”
Hearing this strange name, the old liar also had a thoughtful expression.
"Elegy of the Old Gods......"
At this moment, Chen Xian's mobile phone suddenly rang.
took out his mobile phone and saw that it was a call from Lu Yisheng.
"Boss!!"
As soon as it was connected, the voice of Lu Yisheng who wanted to cry without tears came from the other side of the phone.
"Your younger brother has been drenched in soup!!"
Chen Xian pressed his eyebrows, and asked patiently, "When it's raining, go back and change your clothes...... What are you calling me for such a trivial matter!? If you're here for me to drive to pick you up, I promise you won't see the sun the next day. ”
“.......”
Lu Yisheng was silent for a few seconds, and said pitifully.
"You're not done yet, are you?"
"It's been less than two hours since I came over, and you're a fart!"
"Okay, okay, then I'll go back and change my clothes myself." Lu Yisheng sighed, and his words were even more aggrieved, "If it weren't for Li Lao Liu's idle eggs playing and kicking trees on the street, I wouldn't have been drenched like this...... Boss, you go back and help me get revenge! ”
"Kicking a tree on the street?! Are you two kindergarten bear kids?! Chen Xian was so angry that he couldn't speak clearly.
"Isn't that a joke...... I'll go back and change my clothes first! Li Lao Liu, he went out to shop first! When the time comes, let's gather directly in the snack street! ”
"I know, don't rush, I'll contact you later."
"I'm not afraid you'll forget...... Besides, I like to talk to you, Boss...... Why don't you go back with me...... It was raining heavily and there was no car to pick me up...... I'm lonely and lonely ......"
"Are you hanging?! If you don't hang up, I'll come and hang you!! ”
"Toot-toot-toot-"
