All Chapters_Chapter 239: Fate
"You mean Chemazhi!"
Cher nodded with a smile and added, "It's not far ahead, and it seems that this is indeed its lair." ”
I was overjoyed that Cher could sense life fluctuations within a certain range, and as long as she saw a creature once, she would be able to distinguish it the next time it appeared within her sensing range. Since Cher said this, there must be nothing wrong with that.
Now that I know the whereabouts of Che Mazhi, it is even more difficult for me to wait in my heart, and I don't think about any immortals or anything like that, I just need to catch this Che Mazhi and bring it back to Qingcheng Mountain to Yaoyao, even if the goal is achieved, what do he do with other things.
At that moment, I took Xia Wu and ran in the direction pointed out by Xue'er. It's just that what makes me feel a little strange is that Xia Wu's expression on her face became more and more weird after seeing Cher, and after Xue'er returned to my body, she was more like she wanted to say something to me, but her mouth moved, and she finally held back. Although I looked at this scene with some doubts, I was full of excitement at the moment, and I didn't go to my heart, so I ran quickly with her in my arms.
Walking on the flat land, surrounded by lush forests and clear streams, the sound of insects and beasts is not heard in your ears, it is a lively scene.
After running for about a few minutes, I walked through a dense bamboo forest, looking at the scene in front of me in a daze.
More than ten meters away from me, there were several strange-looking creatures chattering together, some of them were in the shape of cows, some were in the shape of horses, and the one in the middle was a Shiba man more than half a meter tall, looking very strange. But no matter what they looked like, their skin was glowing with a faint purple light, and they had a Ganoderma lucidum-like umbrella on their heads.
"A lot of Che Mazhi!"
I muttered, I didn't expect that there are so many miracle medicine Che Mazhi who can live and die in the legends of the world, flesh and bones, although only one of them is a humanoid medium-grade Che Mazhi, and the others are all in the shape of low-grade six animals, but if it spreads, it will definitely attract countless people to watch, making the world crazy.
And the sudden appearance of Xia Wu and I was also shocked that these Che Mazhi screamed repeatedly, but what surprised me was that these guys did not run away immediately, but rushed to a wooden house behind them screaming like children.
It was only then that I realized that in front of me stood a small wooden house with a unique shape, located in the middle of a bamboo forest and a peach forest, and a babbling stream on the left.
The corners of my mouth twitched, and a sense of foreboding welled up in my heart. This place is the cave where the legendary immortals are located, and in it stands quietly a wooden house that has spanned many years, and even those frightened Che Ma Zhi gave up the soil and escaped, but poured into the house like frightened children, who the owner of this wooden house is, it is self-evident for a while.
"We ...... Want to go in? ”
Xia Wu saw that I was in a daze, pulled the corner of my clothes and asked.
I was taken aback by her, and the gloom in my heart dispelled a lot. In any case, instead of standing here, it is better to go into the wooden house and find out what is inside.
I gritted my teeth, took Xia Wu with me, and walked towards the wooden house.
From time to time, there are wisps of plant fragrance around, and I don't know what kind of flower it is, and this fragrance smells very comfortable in the nose.
The door to the hut was wide open, and there was no obstruction, and I stepped inside. As soon as I came in, I was shocked.
Although I had already prepared in my heart, when I looked at the figure sitting cross-legged on the futon in front of me, I still felt an irrepressible fear and panic in my heart.
On a round futon is sitting quietly an old man with white hair, this old man has a kind eyebrow and kind eyes, at a glance it gives people a sense of closeness, he is wearing a wide robe with big sleeves, although he is sitting cross-legged but still looks very dusty, there is no trace of mundane atmosphere.
I opened my eyes wide and saw that the few Chemazhi who had escaped were hiding behind the old man, sticking out their strange heads to look at me, and there was no longer the initial panic on their faces, as if there was this old man, no one in this world could hurt them.
"Meet the seniors, the juniors strayed into this place, there are many disturbances, and I ask the seniors to forgive their sins."
I hurriedly bowed to the old man, whether he was dead or alive, even if I was just acting like that, there was nothing wrong with that.
There was still silence in the room, there was no response, only the breathing of me and Xia Wu could be heard clearly, and I didn't feel any signs of life from the old man's body.
I feel a little creepy, could it be that this old man is also the same as Zhao Gongming in the stone room, a flesh shell left after feathering?
At this moment, Xue'er in my body finally moved, and after she appeared, her eyes looked at the old man on the futon motionlessly, and the expression on her face was not only shocked, but also indescribably puzzled.
"Cher, did you find anything? Did you feel the fluctuations of life in him? I hurriedly asked, but the old man did not answer my words, and I did not dare to come forward without permission.
Xue'er looked ahead in a daze, her mouth was like a dream, and she murmured, "I...... Seems to have seen him......"
And as Xue'er spoke, a faint sigh echoed through the wooden house.
Although it was only a gentle sigh, it was no less than a thunderbolt from the sky in my heart, because it was the old man who had been sitting cross-legged like a statue in front of me.
I looked forward tremblingly, and there was a pair of starry eyes looking at me quietly.
"I've been here once, and why I'm coming again."
The old man's voice was a little ethereal, like the kind of temperament on his body, detached from things.
Xia Wu next to him didn't know the legend of the Nine Old Caves, so he didn't react, just looked at us strangely. And I felt that both rows of teeth were trembling slightly, was the old man in front of me really alive? So who he is......
"Have I been here? This feeling is so familiar......" Cher was a little stunned, no longer the shrewd appearance she usually had in the day.
The old man glanced at me and Xue'er lightly, and didn't speak, but this appearance gave me great pressure. His not burly body is like a majestic mountain in my eyes, difficult to surpass.
"I ...... A lot of my memories are gone, can you tell me why? Cher whispered to the old man, as if she was begging him.
There was no sadness or joy on the old man's face, and he couldn't see any emotion.
I couldn't help but say, "Senior, do you know what kind of state Xue'er is in now? She doesn't seem to be a ghost, huh? Could it be that someone did something to her? ”
I don't know why I asked these words at this time, maybe it was because I had always been curious about Xue'er's identity, but I always felt that the old man in front of me could see through everything, and he must be clear about Xue'er's identity.
The white hair on the old man's head drooped, as if he had crossed countless years, he glanced at me, and said softly: "Heaven is impermanent, people have their own lives, what you should know, you will always know, what you shouldn't know, even if you give everything, you won't know." ”
I was stunned, what the old man said sounded very mysterious, but I always felt that he meant something.
Cher on the side is still stuck in that kind of appearance as if she is reminiscing, and I don't know if she can remember all the memories. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I hurriedly asked, "Senior, you just said that Xue'er has been here before, can you tell me about it?" ”
I looked at this old man with longing eyes, as long as he wanted, I could know the cause and effect of everything, even the secrets related to Xue'er and Chen Shengzhi.
But to my disappointment, the old man was silent for a long time before he said leisurely: "This is your life, and it is also her life, including all the people and everything you have seen. That's their life, too. ”
Life!
I was short of breath, my fate, these words are not the first time I have heard them, my grandfather has often said this to me since I was a child, and the phantom of Chen Shengzhi who appeared when he expelled Changyou also said this when he disappeared.
It seems that since I was born, everything has been calculated, and the path I have traveled has been arranged by my predecessors. My whole life has been the way that someone else has arranged for me.
At this moment, a strong rebellion welled up in my heart, and I blurted out: "Life! I am in charge of my life, and I don't need anyone to arrange it for me! My own way, I go my own! Even my parents, masters, my ancestors, and even this heaven and earth cannot control my fate! ”
The old man didn't seem to care at all about my excited performance, and still had that kind of calm and breezy expression.
He said faintly: "What you are saying now is not destined for you to say it, and your current thoughts are not destined to make you think like this, your words and deeds, every thought and action are all destined for you." ”
I was immediately swallowed by the old man's words, and I couldn't say a word for a long time, feeling that my whole head was not enough, and I was surrounded by this old man.
This guy doesn't get oil and salt!
I simply gave up arguing with this old man, and I would never be a match for these people. I opened my mouth to ask about the identity of this old man and the matter of Zhao Gongming outside.
But before I could speak, the old man said, "Don't speak, don't ask, when it's time to know, you will know." ”
I almost ran out of breath with a mouthful of blood, this old man was so angry that he could speak, and he seemed to know my inner thoughts, it was terrifying.
"You want Chemazhi."
At this moment, the old man opened his mouth lightly and said the purpose of my trip. And his words were not an inquiring question, but more like a statement that he had already known, and his tone was calm and calm.
I nodded and said, "Senior, I need to use Chemazhi to rescue a friend, I hope you can be gracious." ”
I restrained my thoughts and bowed respectfully. People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads!
"Yes, you're destined to get one." The old man's words were light and light.
And as his words came out, the surrounding Chemazhi immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the old man, and even the humanoid Chemazhi had tears on his face.
On the other hand, I was overjoyed that the old man had said that I was destined to get a Chemazhi, which was equivalent to agreeing to my request.
I hurriedly thanked me again and again, and my face was full of joy.
But before I could be happy for a moment, the old man spoke:
"By my rules, you need to go through a test."
I was stunned for a moment and blurted out, "Didn't you say that I was destined to get one?" Why do you still need to pass your test, and since you say that it is destined, then according to your theory, I will definitely be able to pass your test, this is completely a test that must be passed, is it interesting to do this? ”
The old man smiled faintly: "I have transcended the six ......"
