Chapter 141: Dreams?
At this moment, the door of the thatched house was opened, and out of it came an old man with a rickety figure.
The old man looked to be over seventy years old, and walked tremblingly, with a crooked cane in his hand.
The old man struggled to straighten up, looked up and squinted at the door, and perhaps because of a bad look, he took a few more steps forward.
"Who are you?"
Duan Feng looked at the frail old man in front of him, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, "How can there be such an old man living alone here in this barren mountains and mountains?"
"We are passers-by, lost, and want to ask for directions, and beg for a drink by the way. ”
"Passerby?"
The old man slowly moved to the door, looking up at the two of them.
"Oh, okay, come in. ”
The old man answered as he untied the rope to the door.
"Where are you from?"
The old man opened the firewood door with difficulty and led the two into the courtyard.
"We came from the land of the north and strayed into this place to ask for directions. ”
"The Northern Lands?" the old man frowned, "I heard that the Northern Lands are in chaos right now. ”
"Ahh ”
Duan Feng was a little surprised, he didn't expect that in this isolated Cangshan Mountain, this old man would actually know about the outside world.
"Dare to ask the old man, are you alone here?"
"Yes, the old man has lived here all his life. ”
"Do you have no children to live on?"
"Hehe, how can someone like me have children?" said the old man laughing to himself.
Duan Feng's face turned red, and he realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he changed the topic and said, "May I ask what kind of place this is, are there any other people around?"
"This is Yinming Mountain, as far as I know, my old man is alone here. ”
"Yin Ming Mountain!" Duan Feng shouted.
Liu Yuwei also looked at Duan Feng with wide eyes, Yin Ming Mountain was the place where the Dark Venerable Lord was suppressed, how could he get to Yin Ming Mountain?
"What's wrong? You've heard of Yin Ming Mountain?"
"N-no. Duan Feng denied, "I'm just a little curious, how can I call this name." ”
"Hey, who knows? For as long as I can remember, this place has been called Yinmingshan. ”
The old man walked into the hut as he spoke, and it was immediately darkened, and the two of them stood near the door.
The old man, with his rickety body, took out two gray-black pottery bowls from under a low table near the wall inside and placed them on the table in front of them.
Then he took out a clay pot from under the table, poured out two bowls of steaming hot water from it, and handed them to the two of them.
"Thank you, old man. ”
Duan Feng took the water and didn't drink it immediately, but took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms.
He uncorked the bottle and sniffed it, and a fishy stench came to his nose, and he resisted the stench, dripping a few drops of scarlet liquid mixed with seawater into the bowl.
The old man looked at Duan Feng's actions strangely, "Young man, are you sick?"
"Huh?"
The old man pointed to the small porcelain bottle in his hand, which seemed to be his medicine.
Duan Feng smiled, "Yes, yes." ”
Then he took the bowl and drank it down, and the warm water mixed with a fishy smell entered his stomach.
After a while, he only felt that his body was a little hot, and then he returned to normal, he didn't know if his spiritual method had returned, but in front of the old man, he didn't dare to try it easily.
"Thank you, old man. ”
"It doesn't matter. The old man looked at Duan Feng kindly.
"Dare to ask the old man, how to get out from here?"
"Where are you going?"
"Hmm-" Duan Feng looked back at Liu Yuwei, thought for a moment, and said, "Go to Crescent Bay." ”
"Crescent Bay?" the old man was a little surprised, "What are you doing in Crescent Bay?
"We know, but we have friends waiting for us there and we have to go back as soon as possible. ”
"Oh, is that so?" the old man nodded slightly, and then asked, "Don't blame the old man for being too talkative, I don't know what you are doing in the beast clan's territory?"
Duan Feng thought to himself, this old man is not in danger, even if there is, it doesn't matter, he doesn't know much about the information of Xihe Zhiding, if this old man is really a master of the world, he may be able to show the way for himself.
Besides, if this old man had malicious intentions towards them, he wouldn't have waited that long to do it.
Duan Feng began to wonder in his heart if this old man was the one who caused the waterspout, and even, this person was the Dark Venerable.
Now that he doesn't have any leverage, if this person is really the Dark Lord, he must know the purpose of his coming, and he has no possibility of escaping.
It's better to tell him the truth, maybe there will be unexpected gains.
"Don't hide it from the old man, we are for Xihe. ”
"The Ding of Xihe. The old man said thoughtfully, "That's an ancient artifact, I don't know what you're looking for Xihe Zhiding for?"
"I'm sure you've heard about what's happening in the human world. ”
"I've heard a little. The old man was not shy about it, which made Duan Feng even more convinced that this old man was not an ordinary person.
"We are looking for Xihe Zhiding to deal with the Demon Venerable. ”
"Dealing with the Demon Venerable?" a trace of doubt suddenly flashed in the old man's eyes.
"What's the problem?"
"Nope. The old man pretended to be calm and said, "It's just a little accident, I didn't expect that the catastrophe in the human world was caused by the Demon Venerable." ”
"Hmm. So, how do we get to Crescent Bay?"
The old man sat down with a sway, sighed, and said, "If my guess is right, you want to go to the Borderlands, right?"
"Exactly, I heard that the peak of Xihe is in the borderlands. ”
"Hehehe, the Borderlands are so big, do you know where the Xihe Peak is located?"
"This-" Duan Feng really didn't think about it, he only knew that Xihe Zhiding was in the Borderlands, but he didn't know the specific location.
"Hehe, I'm afraid you won't find the Xihe Ding when you reach the Borderlands, and even if you find it, you won't be able to take it. ”
When Duan Feng heard this, he was sure that the old man knew the details about Xihe Zhiding, so he hurriedly asked, "Please also ask the old man for guidance!"
The old man nodded slightly, and said, "It's rare that you can find here, and it can be regarded as the fate between us." ”
When Duan Feng heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart.
"If you want to say that this Xihe Ding, it is located on the Yuanxin Peak in the northwest of the Borderlands, but it is said that there is a Tengtian Dragon living on the Yuanxin Peak, and if you want to take the Xihe Ding, you must first kill this dragon. ”
"I don't know how to kill this dragon?"
"That's not easy, if you want to kill this Tengtian Dragon, you must use this Yunwu Ice Qi. ”
"Yunwu Ice Qi, what is Yunwu Ice Qi?"
"The so-called Yunwu Ice Qi is the coldest qi spewed out by the Xuan Turtle of the East China Sea. ”
"East China Sea Turtle?"
Duan Feng suddenly remembered that when they went to Hongyue Mountain to look for Zhao Muzhi, he had captured a Xuan Turtle.
"And it has to be the king of the turtles who lives in the abyss of the East China Sea. ”
"The King of the Turtles?"
"That's right, only the Yunwu Ice Qi spewed out by the King of the Xuan Turtle can restrain Tengtian Dragon's Five Flavors True Fire. ”
"Then how do you capture this turtle king?"
"I don't know about this, I think since you want it, there must be a way, as for what to do, it's up to you. ”
Duan Feng was already very grateful to the old man in his heart, so he didn't continue to ask.
After resting for a while, Duan Feng stood up and said, "Old man, we should go, I don't know how to get out of here?"
The old man followed Duan Feng and the two out of the courtyard, pointed to a mountain in the distance, and said, "You follow the path at your feet, and you can go out when you reach the end of the mountain." ”
"The end of the mountain?" Duan Feng thought to himself, what kind of guidance is this, and what is the end of the mountain?
"But you must walk along. ”
"Walking?"
The old man nodded affirmatively, and Duan Feng had no choice but to follow the old man's instructions and lead Liu Yuwei towards the direction of the mountain.
Leaving the courtyard, the two walked for about three or four hours before they came to the foot of the mountain.
But what made Duan Feng strange was that the sun here seemed to be on their right all the time, and the sky didn't change in the slightest.
Could it be that time stands still here? Duan Feng looked at the sky suspiciously, but everything around him was so real, there was no sign of illusion.
The two climbed along the rugged mountain road to the top of the mountain, and after climbing for about two hours, they came to the top of the mountain out of breath.
There was nothing above the top of the mountain, it was a huge platform, and from a distance, the whole top of the mountain looked like a platform that had been cut out by a knife.
"Where's the exit?" Liu Yuwei looked around, but there was nothing but bare stones.
Duan Feng looked around the top of the mountain, but he didn't see any other way, and suddenly a puff of smoke began to fill around them.
The fog grew larger and larger, gradually engulfing the two of them, and the two could only see each other closely together.
Duan Feng grabbed Liu Yuwei's hand tightly and stood in place, vigilantly listening to the movements around him.
"Woo-"
Suddenly, there was a gust of wind around them, not like the wind at the top of a mountain, but like it was blowing from a narrow hole.
Duan Feng held the Cold Ice Sword tightly with one hand and looked at Liu Yuwei beside him, with firmness in his eyes.
Gradually, the surrounding fog began to dissipate, the stone ground under his feet began to become slippery, and a cool breeze blew around, and Liu Yu couldn't help but shiver.
Suddenly, a strong cool breeze blew towards the two of them, and the surrounding fog disappeared with the wind blowing back.
"Ahh
Liu Yu screamed slightly, and then hugged Duan Feng tightly with both hands.
The two were standing on the edge of a cliff with slippery ice beneath their feet.
Duan Feng took two steps back with Liu Yu in his arms, and looked back again, there was a valley under their feet and a cliff on the opposite side.
"Such a familiar place. Duan Feng thought to himself, he looked back, retreated to a place more than ten feet away from the cliff, and re-examined the entire cliff.
It was the same "broken bridge" across the valley that they had encountered earlier, and they were standing at one end of the "broken bridge" just now.
They have returned to the iceberg!
Duan Feng and the others looked at the surrounding environment in surprise, the old man and Cangshan just now were like a dream, but they were so real.
Duan Feng left the "Broken Bridge" with Liu Yuwei and returned along the same road.
