Chapter 420: The Mysterious Old Man Han
If you want to say that the most lively place in the entire Sword Peak Empire, it is the Imperial City. Regardless of the season, day or night, the streets and alleys are always full of people walking around, and there are more than 10 million people in the imperial city, which shows how big this imperial capital is.
At this moment, a white-haired, long-bearded old man was sitting in the crowd and recited loudly: "It is said that five hundred years ago, the Divine Domain was originally a wasteland, and there were no human beings at that time, all of them were the world of meteoric beasts. If you want to say how fierce the meteorite beasts were at that time, this current divine beast is not enough to see at all, each has a thousand zhang in size, and the breath is enough to cause the earth to shake the mountain."
"Hiss......"
Everyone subconsciously gasped and hurriedly asked, "Then what?"
"Then, ah, this heaven and earth are occupied by meteoric beasts, and the gods who are far away from the divine domain are furious when they hear this, you say that when this god is angry, what fruit can the meteorite beasts eat? It's just that later, no one could have imagined that there were still some meteoric beasts that had escaped the top of the natural bottle and still survived......"
"After that, old man Han, half of the story is told, half of the chicken is broken, hurry up, don't grind!" someone in the crowd shouted.
The old man known as Old Man Han touched his long beard, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this is not a bit of silver, old man, I don't feel like it......"
Hearing this, everyone was not verbose, and with a flick of his hand, he threw a lot of silver over, and the corners of his mouth did not forget to urge: "Take it, hurry up, hurry up, my wife is still waiting for me to go back to eat duck meat!"
"That's it, Old Man Han, after receiving the money, the story can't be finished, let's see how we clean you up!"
“............”
Old man Han laughed loudly, and continued: "Those surviving meteorite beasts are far from being comparable to the current divine beasts, so at that time, they had a different name, called holy beasts. ”
"Holy Beast?"
"Yes, when the gods are gone, humanity will be born, but ...... The first human beings, that is, our ancestors, were all slaves of those holy beasts, and their strength and physical superiority were far inferior to them, so our ancestors experienced unprecedented pain and suffering in that short period of time. ”
"For the next few years, the world was ruled by holy beasts, and the humans of the divine domain were like walking lackeys, and any ordinary meteorite beast could be humiliated to die and live. This continued until the birth of the Patriarchal Spirit......"
"Who is the Ancestral Holy Spirit?" interrupted someone in the crowd.
"Don't worry, old man, I wasn't just going to talk to you. Old Man Han smiled and said, "The so-called Ancestor Holy Spirit is the cultivator who first appeared on the continent, there are eight of them, and all of them have reached the top of the bottle that cannot be reached by humans today, and have touched the realm of the legendary Emperor. ”
As soon as they heard this, many people became a little excited, and hurriedly shouted: "Old man Han, can you hurry up, how long do you have to talk about it intermittently, if you don't have enough money, just say it, can't you make up a few pieces of silver?"
When the words fell, a large handful of silver was thrown out again, and Old Man Han took it one by one, and he didn't forget to laugh and say, "You still know the old man me best." ”
"Talk quickly, don't talk nonsense, what happened later?"
Old man Han said slowly: "Later, the Ancestor Holy Spirit was born, and the Holy Beasts who had dominated the Divine Domain for many years finally felt the threat from the human race, and just like that, the 'Battle of the Two Saints' that made the entire continent miserable officially kicked off. ”
"The name of the two saints is one for the holy spirit and the other is the holy beast, their battle has caused the entire divine domain to shake for decades, this war has lasted for a long time, and in the process of being in a passive state is our ancestor Holy Spirit. ”
"Why?" the crowd was puzzled.
"Because there are eight Ancestral Holy Spirits, and there are nine Holy Beasts, there is already a gap in the number, not to mention that the extra Holy Beasts are the gods of beasts, which are enough to fight against our two Ancestral Holy Spirits with their own strength. ”
Speaking of this, Old Man Han suddenly smiled and said, "I know you want to ask what happened in the end, hehe, my waist hurts a little today, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”
"Damn, old man Han, if you don't take you to such a pit of money, Lao Tzu's baby has not been raised yet, so he came over to listen to your story, and you told me that this is the end?"
"That's right, Old Man Han, you're too boring, aren't you?"
"Old man Han, there's not enough silver, right?"
“..................”
In the face of everyone's grievances, the old man Han waved his hand and said: "Old man, I have never been the kind of person who has no bottom line, and today a story will be told here, let's come back another day, old man, I won't run, what's the hurry?"
Hearing this, the resentment in everyone's hearts eased a little, and they immediately shook their heads and said, "It's scattered, come back tomorrow, Old Man Han doesn't want to tell the story, so there is no place to listen to it." ”
After a while, the alley that was originally crowded with people quickly became empty, not to mention, the charm of this storyteller is really not small, and the people of the imperial city are just like this.
Suddenly, Old Man Han's eyes turned to the young man not far away, whose face was changing, and asked with a smile: "Young man, do you have something to ask the old man?"
Ye Xingchen nodded, walked slowly to his side, and said seriously, "What the senior said before is true?"
"Stories are just stories after all, and I don't believe the old man myself. Old man Han replied with a smile.
Ye Xingchen was a little surprised by this answer, because Haoyue clearly told him that this old man was definitely not a simple person, and what he said before was basically the same as what happened five hundred years ago, and it was not a story at all.
After a short silence, Ye Xingchen still nodded, clenched his fists and said, "Thank you, old man." ”
"Hehe, young man, the old man sees that you are a little faceless, you must not be from the Imperial City, right?"
Ye Xingchen was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly replied: "The old gentleman has good eyesight, and the junior is indeed not from the Imperial City." ”
"Then you're here to participate in the martial arts competition?" asked Old Man Han casually.
"Exactly. Night Star replied truthfully.
The old man Han nodded, glanced at him meaningfully, and suddenly smiled: "You have a treasure on you, and there is more than one." ”
Hearing this, Ye Xingchen's complexion suddenly changed, and he didn't say anything, just nodded his head slightly.
"Haha, but I'm not interested in your treasures, old man, those who are interested are the masters of the famous continent. ”
After that, before Ye Xingchen could react, the old man Han had disappeared, and even his breath was not left behind.
He was left alone with a shocked face on his face, repeating in his heart the last words he had left, what did they mean......
"Don't think about it, he probably already knows who you are. Haoyue's solemn voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"How is that possible?!"
You can know your identity just by one side, is there such a powerful person in this world?
"Nothing is impossible, and you think it is impossible only because your knowledge is too short. The old man was definitely not a simple person, and I was almost completely sure of what I was saying in the previous conversation. ”
It took a long time for Ye Xingchen to wake up from his shock, and at the same time, he kept secretly thinking in his heart where the old man surnamed Han was......
"Let's go back first, there are a lot of people around. ”
Haoyue's voice came from his mind again, and Ye Xingchen nodded hurriedly, although the imperial city was safe, it was full of the eyes of the major clans, and everyone's every move was almost under their control.
.......................................
Returning to the Taiping Inn again, Senior Brother Bald Niu quickly greeted him, laughed and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Senior Brother Night, two more drinks tonight?"
"Forget it. Ye Xingchen shook his head again and again, asking for his life, this is, if he says that he is good, he will not be drunk and will not return, and it is really uncomfortable to lie on the floor and sleep, it is simply a torture for him.
"Drink, there are not many opportunities to come to the Imperial City, I will call Senior Brother Tang and Senior Brother Long to come over tonight, I wish the four of us can stay until the end of the martial arts competition, what do you say?" Niu Long persuaded.
Seeing him say this, Ye Xingchen couldn't refuse, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll go to your room later, but let's say it first, this time the four of us try to drink less, tomorrow is the official start of the martial arts competition, and if you don't get up then, it will be over." ”
"Okay, okay, I'll go and tell Senior Brother Tang to go. ”
Seeing off Niu Long, Ye Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief, and returned to his room to lie down, the words left by the old man still echoing in his mind......
Who is he? This is undoubtedly the question that Night Star wants to know the most, no one can see through his identity at a glance, unless he is the hall master of the five great temples, but no matter how the old man looks at it, he can't be a person from the temple, so who is he?
At this moment, Haoyue in his mind suddenly said: "Maybe I said it wrong, he didn't directly see through your identity, but there is no doubt that he noticed something, such as me or the World Destroying Divine Flame." ”
"Hmm. Ye Xingchen nodded subconsciously, and said with a shocked face: "He said that I have a treasure on me, and there is more than one, could it be ...... Does he know it all?"
"Not necessarily, at most, he saw that you have a lot of treasures on you, and he didn't mention what those treasures were, but from the last sentence he left, it could be heard that it should be me and the World Destroyer Yan. ”
"What the hell is that old fellow, I don't believe in any fortune tellers, and he's just a storyteller. Night Star couldn't help but say.
Haoyue was silent for a moment, and said: "In short, you should pay more attention to this person, he is a friend inside the imperial city, and he is an enemy outside the imperial city." ”
Hearing this, Ye Xingchen also nodded, and a hint of different color flashed in his eyes......
