Chapter VI Requests
Hearing the cold request of the old ancestor, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then muttered in my heart.
Want to see the power of the Undead King? What do you think?
Is there any other way to do it than to fight?
"If you don't mind, come over and let's shake hands." The old ancestor smiled: "I just want to feel those powers, and I have no ill will towards you. ”
As soon as I heard him say this, I felt a little bit of a spectrum in my heart.
If this old giant wants to clean me up, there is no need to use such obscene means, and you can see by just looking at it that he is not that kind of person.
But look at what he asks...... When I heard him say that he wanted to shake hands, it suddenly occurred in my mind that the old-timers shook hands with the younger students, and then worked hard to educate the younger students to be human beings.......
There are many examples of this, and when I was a child, the old man did not clean me up like this.
But no matter how I look at it, the expression on the face of the ancestor is only sincere, and it can even be said to be an expression that borders on pleading.
He really wanted to feel the power of the Immortal King for once, and I could see that....... It doesn't seem to be malicious.
Thinking of this, I walked up to my ancestor and slowly raised my hand high.
Seeing my movements, the old ancestor also smiled, bent down and hooked his body, and gently held my right hand.
The moment I touched his palm, an indescribable sensation came from his palm, like a wave of physical heat, constantly instilling from his palm into my body.
It was also from this time that I was tightly glued to his palm, and even if I subconsciously wanted to withdraw my hand, I couldn't pull it out of his palm.
What I know for sure is that he didn't use any strength in his hands, and that feeling of not being able to get rid of it was not something else that he brought to me.
"This ...... It can't be ........"
The old ancestor looked at me with wide eyes and disbelief as if he had discovered something, and that kind of look was like a ghost, and there was a kind of panic.
"This is the power of the ancients....... No....... Purer than the power of the Ancients! ”
Speaking of this, the old ancestor's eyes turned red, not to kill people, but simply excited, and his voice was trembling.
Shen ...... Little Brother Shen!! Who the hell are you meeting with? Are there still ancients on that mountain?! ”
I looked at him silently, thought for a moment, and made sure that there was no need to hide it, and then nodded.
"Before the mountain collapsed, there was indeed an ancient man dormant in the palace on the top of the mountain, but its flame of life was about to be extinguished, and its body was constantly withering."
"It's not your average Ancient, is it?!" The old ancestor asked me busily.
I thought about it, mumbled, and said it wasn't.
"It is the most powerful ancient in the eons, and it is the only one who can annihilate death, so it has another name, the King of the Immortals......." I whispered, "Those old kings are lurking in the deep sky star sea, and it is also the protector of our future generations, and it is the watchdog of the deep sky star sea. ”
"Immortal King......." the old ancestor muttered, "I seem to have seen this name somewhere......."
"Is it in an ancient ruin?" I asked quietly.
The old ancestor didn't say a word, recalled carefully for a while, and nodded: "It seems to be." ”
"Since they are all their own people....... Then I won't hide these things from you......."
As I spoke, I took out a cigarette and lit it, and let my ancestor shake my hand with me, and I smoked leisurely and chatted with him.
Regarding what happened on the Trapped Heaven Mountain, I deleted and reduced most of it through the Spring and Autumn Period, and I just told him a general content, but about the Immortal King's willingness to give me an inheritance, I still focused on "describing" it.
The general idea is one sentence.
The Immortal King looks up to me, and my physical body is best suited to accept its power, so I am its heir.
"I see.......," the old ancestor muttered, then let go of his hand and looked at me with a complicated gaze: "You actually inherited its power.......
"It's just a little bit of luck." I laughed and said, "I don't know how I can be taken by the Immortal King, it's like a dream." ”
"If it were me, I would feel like a dream." The old ancestor sighed, shook his head as he spoke, his expression was both envious and jealous, as if he couldn't help but scold: "Lao Tzu also wants to have such a sweet dream!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the old ancestor sat up straight, leaned back in his chair, and looked at me from above.
I don't know what he's thinking, his eyes keep flickering.
"Do you know what I want to do most in my life?" The old ancestor asked coldly.
I shook my head and said I didn't know.
"I want to give them a safe and free place to live." The old ancestor smiled.
The "they" in his mouth should be other deformed people.
I have to say that this old-timer is quite admirable....... He wasn't related to the deformities....... But he treats those deformed people the same way he treats his own children and grandchildren!
"Isn't this place satisfying?" I couldn't help but ask.
"The scenery is nice and safe enough, but do you feel free?" The old ancestor asked me rhetorically.
I thought about it for a moment, but I didn't say anything.
"To put it bluntly, in fact, we are all human beings, but we are different in appearance or physical body, in the eyes of outsiders, we are monsters......." the old ancestor said, with a long sigh: "But we are still human after all, the most ordinary people." ”
"What do you want to say?" I asked tentatively.
"You should have heard the sixth child say that in the outside world, there are also a group of people like us, and they live near the city....... Of course, it can also be said to be in the sewer. The old ancestor sneered: "Their requirements are too low, they live underground like maggots and mice, is this the life that people should live?" ”
"So you want to ...... Going to the city? I cautiously said, "This can be a little dangerous...... It's not that I'm discriminating against you...... The main thing is that the popular perception still has a certain lethal ......."
As I spoke, I couldn't help frowning.
"If you easily set foot in the outside world...... That's ....... big thing."
"I know." The old ancestor smiled: "I have known and experienced all this for a long time, so my goal has not been achieved until now. ”
I raised my head, looked at the old ancestor with a helpless face, and asked him, "You told me so much, do you want me to help?" ”
"Yes." The old ancestor nodded: "But I'm not asking you to take them to the outside world, I want to ask you for something." ”
"You say."
The old ancestor did not speak, he was silent, looked at me without saying a word, and then raised his head to look at the surrounding woods.
"I'm running out of time."
When I heard these words come out of the mouth of the old ancestor, I couldn't help but be stunned for a while, because I didn't expect him to say this from beginning to end........
Time is running out?? Could it be .......
"You can't hold it anymore?" I asked with a frown.
"Even an existence like the Immortal King will be killed by time, let alone me?" The old ancestor smiled, his expression was very calm, and he didn't care about the impending death.
Anyone can see that this old man is really not afraid of death, there is no fear or panic in his eyes, only worry about those deformed people and the like.
Although I don't know much about them, I can guess just by guessing that the Ancestor should be the most powerful character in their group, and the biggest umbrella on their heads.
When he falls, these deformed people lose a big backer, and they are likely to be leaderless.......
"What do you want me to do for you?" I asked quietly.
"Take care of them." The old ancestor smiled: "If I leave, they will have no backing, and no one will help them solve any trouble in the future....... They are human beings, but they are not accepted by outsiders, so they will have more trouble than you think. ”
"That's it......." I muttered, looking at the old ancestor with some hesitation, it's not that I don't want to help with this, the main thing is that I am now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and it is difficult to protect myself, whether I can survive the old sect's turtle grandsons to death is a matter of two words.
The old ancestor seemed to know what I was worried about, and instead of forcing it, he laughed and comforted me.
No, to be exact, tempting me.
"If you promise me, then in the next ...... I can help you when you deal with those cultists. ”
As the old ancestor spoke, his fingers flicked a few times on the armrest, his eyes full of smiles.
"Dealing with living people, I am stronger than Lao Xiang."
