Chapter Twenty-Four: The Terrible Old Man
100,000 stars changed in front of Ye Chen, and the arrangement of the stars was intricate. But in Ye Chen's eyes, they seemed so orderly, and they were transformed into sub-pictures one after another, unfolding one by one in Ye Chen's eyes like a slide.
Each picture is not the same, as if God is painting, and as if each picture is real.
Seeing the old man so surprised, Ye Chen suddenly woke up, he seemed to have forgotten something most important.
Regarding the stars on the 100,000 mountains, Ye Chen did consult the old man, but he did not say that the stars he saw could form a picture. He always thought that the old man knew, but now, looking at the old man's surprised look, Ye Chen only now understood that the old man had always been unaware.
At the beginning, I wanted to ask the old man about this, but after thinking about it, the old man has lived here for I don't know how long, and he must know it. Since he didn't tell himself, it must have nothing to do with him, or he couldn't touch that realm yet.
But now, he found out that he was very wrong, the old man didn't know at all, he was so stupid, and he almost lost a clue. But it's okay now, and we got together in time.
Ye Chen figured everything out, combed through his thoughts, and told the old man completely.
When the old man heard this, his expression was serious, but his heart was not at peace for a long time. The old man's eyes were deep, his gaze was like a torch, looking directly at the night sky, and a king-like momentum flowed out of his body.
Just the slightest hint makes people feel like they want to kneel. The old man stared at it carefully for a while, and found that it still didn't work, he couldn't see any clues, no matter how he tried, it was useless, and he couldn't see the kind of picture that Ye Chen said.
In the end, the old man shook his head, Ye Chen didn't believe it, and stretched out his finger to let the old man look at the trajectory of his fingers, pointing down one by one. At this moment, the old man found that all this had changed, and he slowly got a first glimpse of what Ye Chen pointed out.
"The general trend!"
The old man was startled, these stars were covered by a powerful momentum, so that they could not be seen by outsiders. This kind of general trend is so powerful that it has been hidden from countless strong people. And after such a long time, it has not weakened at all, but has grown with the help of the power of heaven and earth.
The old man was shocked, if it was born fine, then it was still in the past. If it is artificial? Then how strong will that person be? Could it be an immortal? The old man suddenly thought of a legend that happened a long, long time ago, about these 100,000 mountains.
The old man didn't figure it out. Instead, he still looked at the arrangement of the stars that Ye Chen fingered at. It was a lonely ship in the middle of the ocean, and there were three people sitting on it. There is no expression, but looking at their posture seems to be very alarmed.
Ye Chen's speed was very fast, because he didn't know when the stars would change. Then he quickly pointed out a few, and everything became clear that it was a fishing boat that had gone out to sea to fish, and was trapped in the sea due to a tsunami.
No, it's not a tsunami, Ye Chen was surprised, what is that long, black, snake-like creature? The so-called tsunami was made by that guy, is it a dragon?
Living in the sea, it looks like a snake and can stir up the sea and form stormy waves. Ye Chen naturally came into contact with the dragon creature, a creature in ancient Chinese myths and legends, powerful and a symbol of the royal family.
"Could it be that it's really a dragon?" Ye Chen was surprised. If it's really a dragon, it's amazing. Ye Chen just had a small ripple in his heart, not to mention a dragon, even if it was an immortal standing in front of him, it was normal.
Because in this world, the unthinkable is still very rare? Moreover, this is just a picture, if it is strange, it is made of stars.
The old man's brows tightened, his eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the night sky tightly, more precisely, the picture made of stars that Ye Chen was referring to. The old man pondered, thinking of something. Suddenly retracted his eyes and looked into the distance, his eyes were deep and exuding a terrifying aura, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Ye Chen stared at the old man tightly, not daring to disturb the old man, because the atmosphere this time was extremely low. It was the first time Ye Chen had seen that the old man could be so serious, even more serious than three months ago. Ye Chen knew that all this was related to the stars arranged on the top of the 100,000 mountains, and the old man must know something, something that Ye Chen didn't know.
Suddenly, Ye Chen's eyes widened and he looked at the scene in front of him in shock.
The old man's dark, thin hand gently lifted the wooden stick in his hand and stepped forward... Then, the person suddenly disappeared in front of Ye Chen, just like those ghosts in a horror movie, and suddenly disappeared in front of people, without a trace to be found, not even a silhouette in sight. just disappeared in front of Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was excited, he knew that the old man was strong, but he didn't expect it to be so strong. Although I don't know what the strength of the old man is, but looking at the strength shown by the old man now, at least it is stronger than the current Ye Chen, I don't know how many times.
Powerful power has always been what men yearn for, and Ye Chen is no exception. I especially long for this powerful power, covering the sky with one hand, roaming the universe, who in the world can stop my power. Isn't that what all men crave?
"Huh!"
After thinking of his strength, Ye Chen smiled self-deprecatingly. Now he is still too weak, although he can fight those beasts and beasts alone, but Ye Chen knows that outside, under the broader sky, there are countless people like Ye Chen.
In the final analysis, he was just a little bit stronger than ordinary people, and in front of a true cultivator, he couldn't see enough.
Not to mention outside, among these 100,000 mountains, there are countless strange beasts that can kill him in an instant. Most of the food sources in Shicun are obtained by hunting, but they only wander around the periphery, and they dare not go deep at all.
On the first day, Xiaoman warned Ye Chen very seriously, don't go in, even if your life is in danger, you can only run to the periphery. Because if you run outside, maybe you still have a chance to live, if you run inside, then you will not have any possibility of living, unless you are a generation of power, but even if you are powerful, there is no guarantee that you will not be able to come out alive.
The horror of the 100,000 mountains does not only originate from the Buzhou Mountain. In the depths of the mountains and forests, where the trees are dense and the sunlight can't penetrate the sun, the lurkers are full of terrifying abyss relics, ancient fierce beasts, and even ancient relics. The horror is self-evident.
And as Ye Chen's strength slowly became stronger, and the evolution of his sixth sense accelerated, every time he looked at the 100,000 mountains, he would have a very uncomfortable feeling, that feeling of suffocation to an extremely dull one. The palpitations in his heart were revealed, and Ye Chen knew that this was his sixth sense in warning, symbolizing the 100,000 mountains, which were very dangerous inside.
Ye Chen looked at the direction that the old man was looking at just now, although he didn't know where the old man had gone, but looking at the old man's expression just now, it should be right here. I just don't know what he's going to do.
"Huh!"
Ye Chen smiled, he didn't care about it, he couldn't guess anything anyway. When the old man comes back, won't everything be clear when he asks?
"One hundred and fifty-one, one hundred and fifty-two."
Ye Chen looked down at Xiao Yue'er, she was still so cute, the little guy was counting the stars very seriously. Even if the old man came over just now, he didn't interrupt her, his eyes didn't leave the night sky, his little finger moved, and he was counting very seriously.
"One hundred and sixty-seven, one hundred and sixty-eight..."
“...”
