When I saw the old man, I couldn't help but take a few steps back, and he saw my nervousness and said, "Don't be afraid, girl, I'm not a ghost or anything like that, I'm just an ordinary old man, and I've been living in this temple." ”

I asked, "Isn't this temple abandoned for a long time, and the environment is not good, why do you want to live here, old man, and it has just rained here, so it's not good for your health." ”

The old man obviously didn't care, he bent over and walked towards me, looking very old, stopped and said to me: "If I'm not mistaken, you came here for him, there was a young man just now, to be precise, a ghost came, I felt his breath from you, old man, I guessed right?"

After saying that, the old man looked at me, I nodded and said, "Yes, now I will return this bow and arrow, this looks very valuable, I don't know why the old man is willing to give him this thing, I heard that this is a very precious treasure, it can calm the ghost and let it scatter." ”

He took the bow and arrow, and I kept paying attention to his expression, but he didn't seem to show any pain, and then I thought I was thinking too much, if it belonged to the old man, how could there be pain, he bent over and placed the bow and arrow on the dusty table, and then turned to look at me.

This look made me a little flustered, but he suddenly smiled at me and said: "That young man was very nervous when he came, I can see that he is not different from those ghosts, his body contains a lot of energy but it has been sealed out temporarily, and the resentment on his body is very heavy, but his expression should not be like this." ”

I was a little stunned, and stood there stunned and asked, "Old man, I don't understand what you mean by this. ”

The old man smiled and looked at me and said: "His expression at that time was almost the same as you are now, but his identity is very different from yours, if I guessed correctly, his identity must be very noble, at least he should not be bothered by these trivial matters, and he doesn't even have to put on such a worried expression, which will only stop his way and become a stumbling block for him, just like he came to me today to ask for this weapon, I can't imagine that he can give so much, just to save an ordinary woman, it should be you." ”

After listening to these words, I nodded stunned, and I didn't know what to say for a while, so I could only raise my head and say to him in a groggy voice: "Old man, what is going on with him now, why has he never moved, and why does that bow and arrow have a tingling sensation when I hold it in my hand, please tell me." ”

Looking at my worried expression, the old man said to me: "At that time, he came here in a hurry, I knew that he came to get the bow and arrow, and with his strength, he could have fought with me to take away the bow and arrow, but he chose to exchange his own things for it, and made a fair deal with me, as for fairness, this is only my own proposal."

, in fact, very unfair to him. ”

It's not fair?

What did he do for me?

Now I'm anxious, just want to get an answer, but the old man has been deliberately selling off, as if he was very happy to see me anxious, in order to get the answer I still endured again and again, paused, maybe because I felt that it was too boring to tease me like this, so he said to me: "Okay, then I'll tell you now, what did he do for you, in fact, sometimes the truth you know is the most cruel, I guess you feel the same way after listening." ”

After listening to these words, I was stunned there for a long time and didn't come back to my senses, I have been falling into deep self-blame, I don't know how long I have to do this, it seems that every time I can't do anything, in the end it will hurt Wang Meng, forget about the past, why is he forced to be like this now, is it all because I am too selfish?

Just now the old man said to me: "He was very anxious when he came, I saw at a glance that his ability is not ordinary, the bow and arrow is what belongs to me, and I can't give it to ordinary people, since he is here, I have to put forward a condition that is favorable to me, although I live in this land temple, but in essence, I am dead now, and I do not belong to people, but you have a different physique and can see me at a glance, thinking that I am a human being, and others cannot see me." ”

It turns out that he is not human, no wonder I noticed that there were people here at the beginning, and I don't know how he suddenly appeared here, and the environment here is so bad, if people live here all the time, it is estimated that they will not live long and get sick, and this kind of weather can freeze to death.

He said: "I was a little monster in this land temple, I have lived for a long time, I have been staying here since I first started to build the temple, at first many people came here to pray for blessings, and then slowly fewer and fewer people, many people left, but I have been staying here, but I just can't let go of this temple in my heart, but I didn't expect that I would meet that young man today." ”

Since it's a monster, it's always a bit ambitious, and I can roughly guess what he wants Wang Meng to give.

Sure enough, it was the same as I imagined, he said: "I felt his energy at that time, you know that it is impossible for ordinary monsters to cultivate immortals for hundreds of years to have a qualitative leap, and it is impossible to become immortals, but people are different, this is to pay attention to talent, but he is different, his cultivation is already very deep, at least more than five hundred years, if I can absorb some of his cultivation, my ability will increase greatly, so that I can reduce many years of cultivation, and I can become an immortal earlier." ”

Although I am not familiar with this old man, I always feel that it is impossible for such a monster to become an immortal, but I have always suppressed these thoughts in my heart and not said it.

The real immortal should devote himself to cultivation, rather than coveting a small gain to absorb other people's cultivation, although this is also given by Wang Meng voluntarily

But I still don't think it should be, so my opinion of him is a little worse at this time.

He said to me: "So I asked this young man for a little cultivation, not much, just a little, and I also promised to lend him this peerless treasure, but this bow and arrow is for the master, I have been sealed here and can't get out, otherwise I will definitely go out to help him, and now his situation should be very serious, right?"

I quickly nodded and said, "Yes, he seems to have been staying where he is, and he can't speak, and I tried the bow and arrow once and shot an arrow, and I felt the pain in my heart, what is going on?"

As soon as he finished saying this, the old man looked at me in surprise, then grabbed my wrist and said, "What did you just say, you shot an arrow?"

Suddenly such a surprised look made me feel a little strange, I could only nod slowly and said: "Yes, I think Wang Meng was a little strange at that time, the bow and arrow was thrown on the ground, so I picked it up and tried it, and then walked outside and shot an arrow, I felt a pain in my body, but it didn't take long to get better, and then I came to look for you." ”

The old man looked at me in disbelief, repeating over and over again: "This is impossible, impossible!"

I felt very curious, so I bent down slightly and said, "What do you mean by what you just said, I knew that the bow and arrow were very strange, and there was such a pain, so I came to you, and didn't you explain to me at the beginning, there is a price to pay for using this bow and arrow, is this the price you are talking about?"

Now he still looked flustered, I stretched out my hand and pressed his shoulder and asked, "Calm down, now I can't waste time here all the time, I hope you can tell me what the hell is going on, what will happen after using the bow and arrow, will Wang Meng leave here?"

The old man looked at me with frightened eyes and said, "Who are you, it seems that this young man will help you for a reason, I have never seen anything with that bow and arrow until now, and now you are still standing here intact and talking to me, saying, who are you!"

The sudden serious tone startled me, I looked at the old man helplessly and said: "You look at me, I don't look like a strange person, I'm just an ordinary college student, now studying in XX school, Wang Meng is indeed a ghost, but I have a good relationship with him, he helped me, so I should also help him, now the explanation is clear enough, right?"

Under such a careful explanation, the old man still didn't want to believe me, so I had to sigh and take out the charm from my pocket and say to him: "I have another identity, that is, Maoshan Taoist, by the way, my name is Jiang Xin, my grandfather should be known, grandpa is the originator of this Maoshan Taoist." ”

Speaking of this, the old man looked at me and softened his tone and said, "I said how can there be nothing at all, it turns out to be a Taoist priest of Maoshan, so you can say it."

It's through, this bow and arrow has been handed down from before, as for who it came from, I really don't know, but there is a force on it that is related to the Taoist priest of Maoshan, it is for this reason that you are fine, that kind of pain is normal, you must know that ordinary people will definitely not be able to bear it and die if they use this bow and arrow. ”

Will it die?

I suddenly panicked and hurriedly said, "What about Wang Meng, is he also like this?"

The old man shook his head and said: "No, he is a ghost, so his body is much better than that of a human being, and he can bear more, but he is absolutely very uncomfortable now, and his whole body is as painful as a needle prick, but it is not impossible, I just have an antidote here, but I can't give it to you casually, it depends on what you can do for him." ”
