Chapter 5: The Mysterious Old Man!
Tick.
In the bright cave, drops of water drip down the steep rock wall, gradually filling a large tank below.
It is a man-made cave, about eight feet high, about three feet wide, and about five or six battles long.
Directly above the center of the cave, a ball the size of a bowl hangs, and there is a white liquid flowing inside, and it slowly flows, emitting bursts of soft light.
"Hmm..."
When Yuan Jing woke up, there was a dazzling white light in his eyes, he instinctively raised his hand to block it, and only after his eyes adjusted to the light did he slowly move away and began to look at the scene he was in.
"What is this?"
A simple cave, a man-sized sink, a stone wall full of weeds, and a smooth stone platform underneath.
After his gaze slowly swept over, Yuan Jing had some doubts in his heart, he only felt that an external qi suddenly appeared in his body before, and then the whole person was unconscious in an instant, how could he appear here now?
"Little baby, don't look at it, it's just a broken cave. ”
While Yuan Jing was pondering, an old voice suddenly sounded from the entrance of the cave.
Yuan Jing was startled, and hurriedly heard the sound and looked, only to see that at the entrance of the cave, a sixty-year-old man with a disheveled head, wearing a tattered Taoist robe, and sloppy up and down, was leaning against the stone wall at this time, looking at him with deep eyes.
The old man was grabbing a roasted beast leg in his right hand, and when he saw Yuan Jing's gaze, his face did not change, and he took a bite of it.
"Old man, are you...?"
Yuan Jing looked at the old man with a suspicious expression, this old man who suddenly appeared, and the strange place he was in now, made him have many doubts in his heart.
And the strange old man in front of him may be able to solve many doubts in his heart.
"Hey, me?"
The old man glanced at Yuan Jing, with a smile on his face, dragged his stumbling body, and slowly walked to a short distance next to Yuan Jing, leaned his back against the stone wall, and sat down.
"The old man is just a lonely old man living in seclusion in the mountains, and there is nothing to ask. ”
Facing the old man's deep gaze, Yuan Jing's heart was cold, and he only felt that all the thoughts in his heart seemed to have been seen through, and he couldn't stop it.
This feeling made De Yuanjing's heart instantly rise with infinite shock, he only remembered that even his grandfather, who was in charge of the Xuantian Domain back then, had never let him feel this way!
This eccentric old man is not easy!
Yuan Jing looked sideways at the old man who was eating the beast's leg alone not far away, and his brows furrowed tightly.
"Little baby, the old man is not a wicked person, don't stare at the old man so bluntly. ”
As if sensing Yuan Jing's gaze, the old man bit the beast's leg again and said without looking at it.
When Yuan Jing heard this, he looked startled, and obediently withdrew his gaze, then lowered his head and began to ponder.
Judging from the strange old man's answer just now, it was obvious that he didn't want to answer his question, so it was in vain for him to continue to ask.
And just now the old man said that he was living in seclusion in the mountains, which means that he is still in the Yanlin Mountain Range, and now he still has to recover from his injuries as soon as possible and then leave here.
After all, the coming-of-age ceremony is coming, and he doesn't want to waste too much time here... Wait a minute..
Injury?!
"Huh?"
Yuan Jing was shocked, stretched out his hands and slowly shook them in front of him, the abundant power that came from them shocked his heart, and his injuries were all recovered?!
"Little baby, you are also fateful, your cultivation is so low, and you didn't die if you fell down from such a high place. ”
At this moment, the old man also looked up at Yuan Jing and suddenly said, those deep eyes, staring at Yuan Jing's chest, with great interest.
"Your neck strap is not simple. ”
Gao Yuanjing was puzzled for a moment, and then hurriedly reached out and touched his chest, through the robe, a broken texture passed into his hand, which made Yuanjing's expression tighten, and he hurriedly took out the things on his chest.
"This..."
After discovering the appearance of the object in his hand, Yuan Jing's heart suddenly flooded with an indescribable emotion.
I saw that in the palm of his hand, there was a golden jade pendant lying quietly, the size of an egg, and its surface was engraved with subtle esoteric lines, faintly forming a simple "god" character, making the whole jade pendant very majestic.
It's just that on the surface of the jade pendant now, there is a crack the size of a fingernail, which cracks straight down from the middle, destroying the majesty of the entire jade pendant.
After a moment of stunned expression, Yuan Jing slowly rubbed the cracks on the surface of the jade pendant, and sadness suddenly appeared on his thin face, his voice was hoarse, and he muttered in a low voice: "Mother, I'm sorry, Jing'er didn't protect you well." ”
This jade pendant is the only item left to him by his mother, he has been carrying it with him all these years, and even regards the jade pendant as his mother's doppelganger, in those countless nightmares awakened by nightmares, after being bullied by the clansmen, he will pour out his psychological grievances and anger to the jade pendant.
Now that the jade pendant is shattered, it is as if he has suddenly lost the most important thing in his heart, and the sadness is indescribable.
The old man not far away looked at this scene, without words, but in those eyes as deep as stars, there was a flash of fine light.
"Sir, can you tell me?"
Yuan Jing raised his head suddenly, his bright eyes staring at the old man intently, and his expression showed extreme seriousness.
He didn't say what to tell, but he knew that the old man in front of him must have understood what he was asking, and this old man must know the truth of everything!
He wanted to know why the most important jade pendant on his body suddenly shattered!
Hearing this, the old man looked stunned, and then immediately straightened up, his deep eyes were facing Yuan Jing's bright and clear eyes, and he didn't speak, just looked at Yuan Jing quietly.
He could tell the young man about it, but he just wanted to see how long the young man with low cultivation in front of him could hold out in front of him.
The old man's deep eyes seem to be able to see through everything in the world and go straight to the deepest part of people's hearts.
And Yuan Jing faced the old man's deep gaze, but he did not shy away from it, and also looked at the old man directly, with an extremely serious color in his eyes.
This jade pendant is too important to him, because it is the only item left to him by his mother, and he can not ask about many other doubts, but he must know about the jade pendant!
The two looked at each other for a while, and finally the old man shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "Alas, don't stare at the old man like this, the old man admits defeat." ”
He hadn't lost much in his life, whether it was cultivation or status! But in the clear eyes of the young man in front of him, he saw a kind of almost crazy attachment, and he knew that if he didn't tell the young man the truth about the matter, the current scene would definitely continue.
And this is not the result he wanted, so he can be regarded as losing.
When Yuan Jing heard this, he also looked away slightly, quietly waiting for the old man's answer.
"Do you know what this place is?"
The old man regained his expression, leaned his back against the wall again, glanced at Yuan Jing, and asked lazily.
Yuan Jing shook his head blankly, saying that he didn't know, he didn't even know how he appeared here, and how could he know what kind of place this was.
"Here... It's the end of the world. The old man paused, looked directly at Yuan Jing, and continued.
"Broken World?!"
The old man's words were like a bomb, and Yuan Jing's mind was blown into a mess, and he was actually under the end of the world?
Yuan Jing didn't expect that after he woke up from a coma, he would hear such an unimaginable place!
You must know that the end of the world is tens of thousands of meters high, and most people who enter the end of the world avoid it, lest one accidentally fall.
So how did he end up in such a place?
This is a huge question in Yuan Jing's mind at present.
Yuan Jing lowered his head and was silent, and after sorting out the chaotic thoughts in his head, he asked, "Old man, how did I get down?"
He believed that there was no need for the old man to lie to him, but he remembered that before he fell unconscious, he was still a short distance away from the end of the world, how could he suddenly appear below the end of the world? And the end of the world was so high, even if he fell, he would end up crippled if he didn't die!
Now that his body is intact, what is going on?
....
