The old man laughed and said, "It's still you, a young man, who knows how to be polite and respects me, an old man." ”

Xu Chen humbly replied: "The old man has won the award, and it is the obligation of the younger generation to respect the old and love the young." ”

While the two were talking, everyone followed closely, and quietly surrounded the old man who suddenly appeared under the hint of Mo Li.

When Mo Li was about to ask the old man's name again, he heard a bird cry from the mountain forest behind him, which was similar to the crow's call, which was very ugly and weird, making people think that it was a deadly sound from the mouth of the soul envoy.

This is really a strange thing, everyone has been trapped in Huaijiang Mountain for seven whole days, and they haven't even seen a living thing along the road, but now with the mysterious appearance of this old man, it seems that the dead and silent Huaijiang Mountain has also regained its due vitality.

It's just that this vitality gives people a terrifying feeling, like a dead person crawling out of a grave and coming with an endless evil aura.

Everyone couldn't help but look in that direction, and in the blink of an eye, a small bird flew up and landed on the old man's shoulder.

This is a very ordinary bird, a sparrow that can often be seen in the fields.

Mo Li suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he was making a little fuss, but when his eyes fell on this sparrow, his eyes tightened again.

Because he found that the sparrow's pointed beak was as red as blood, and there was a blood-like light in its eyes.

Xu Chen also noticed the strangeness of this sparrow, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "Old man, do you like to raise sparrows?"

"Young man, you're wrong, it's not a sparrow, this little guy's name is Qin Yuan. ”

It was a very bland sentence, but it was enough to make the expressions of those present change abruptly.

Qin Yuan, the legendary bird that lives in the Huaijiang Mountain, some people say that it is the messenger of Emperor Jun, responsible for bringing the news of the king of the gods to the gods, but some people say that it has become a ferocious monster after the fall of the gods, and has turned Huaijiang Mountain into its own lair, as long as it dares to enter the Huaijiang Mountain, all the creatures will be killed and eaten by it.

But at the moment, except for being a little different from the sparrow, this Qin Yuan has no signs of tyranny on his body. At this moment, it was standing on the old man's left shoulder, allowing him to caress it with his hand, and it was as well-behaved as the most docile pet in the world.

Xu Chen and the others had naturally heard the rumors about Qin Yuan, so everyone's eyes were staring at this Qin Yuan without blinking, as if it was the protagonist here, and this old man was just a foil to its scenery.

The old man suddenly asked: "As soon as you enter Huaijiang Mountain, you will not return the ten dead and alive, haven't you heard this sentence?"

"Nope. Xu Chen shook his head and said honestly: "But before I came, I heard that Huaijiang Mountain is very dangerous, and all the people who entered the mountain died. ”

"Huaijiangshan is indeed a very dangerous place, but rumors should not be fully believed. The old man laughed and said, "All dead, at least I'm alive!"

Xu Chen suddenly blushed and was speechless. Mo Li said coldly: "You are alive, so the other people who entered the mountain, why haven't any of them returned to the world?"

"Of course, they died in the Huaijiang Mountains. The old man said this without changing his face.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and Mo Li said sharply: "You killed it, right?"

"It's not. The old man shook his head and denied it repeatedly.

"Then how do you explain the reason why everyone else is dead, and you are the only one left to survive?" Of course, Mo Li didn't believe his nonsense.

"That's because I never went into Huaijiangshan, and everyone else did, so they died. ”

"Joke, we are now in the Huaijiang Mountain, and you actually said that you have never entered the mountain!"

"For you strangers or monsters from other places, you don't know the magic of Huaijiang Mountain at all, so I think I have arrived at Huaijiang Mountain. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised, and Xu Chen couldn't help but ask: "Old man, do you mean that this place we are now is not Huaijiangshan, and where is the real Huaijiangshan?"

"I can't say no, it's just ......" The old man's expression suddenly froze, as if he was trying to recall some memory fragments in his mind, and his eyes also lost concentration.

Seeing the old man's painful appearance, Xu Chen couldn't bear it again, and was about to step forward to beat him on the back, but Mo Li grabbed him.

I only heard Mo Li say coldly: "I think you are pretending to be pitiful, it seems that if you don't let you suffer a little, you won't tell us the truth." ”

As he spoke, he jerked out his right hand and grabbed the old man by the collar, trying to pull him off the ground and scare the other party.

But the next moment, Mo Li's face became very ugly. He never dreamed that the old man's body would sit upright on the stone under his grasp.

"Hugh is going to be rude to the old man!" the old man suddenly shouted, and suddenly stood up, his hands shaking and swinging.

Qin Yuan, who was resting on his shoulder, also opened his mouth and shouted extremely cooperatively, his voice was extremely harsh and ugly, and suddenly there was thunder in the sky, shaking the distant mountains and shaking.

The old man's hands seemed to have infinite magical power, and although the movement of the wave was slow, it instantly revealed a terrifying coercion, descending on Mo Li's body like a mountain.

"Not good!" Mo Li suddenly changed color, but before he could react, his body instantly took off and floated into the air.

Everyone's faces also changed, becoming even more ugly than Mo Li, Mo Li, who had the cultivation of the Xuantian Realm, was swaying in the sky like duckweed in the angry sea at this moment, unable to stabilize his body at all, nor able to fall back to the ground safely.

"Lord Mo is like a powerless child in front of him!" a monster sailor who had followed them here exclaimed, his eyes full of fear.

"Old man, please let Brother Mo down, he has no ill will towards you, please forgive him for his reckless behavior!" Xu Chen hurriedly opened his mouth to beg, in fact, the shock in his heart was no less than that of anyone present.

"Whew!" as the old man let out a long breath of turbidity, his hand stopped moving, and then hung limply.

In an instant, the surrounding space seemed to be collapsing, and the strong wind blew in all directions, directly knocking away the Mo Li in the air like a thousand stormy waves.

Mo Li's head slammed into the ground, and with a "boom" sound, he smashed a big hole on the ground.

Bing Straw hurriedly went over to help him up, and saw Mo Li staring at the old man who suddenly burst out with terrifying strength in surprise, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

But only Mo Li was injured at the scene, although the others felt the strong pressure that burst out from the old man's waving hand, but they were safe and sound, and their bodies were not disturbed in the slightest.

At such a close distance, the old man only taught the stranger who offended him, but let everyone remain unharmed, and he controlled the power that burst out of himself so freely, how terrifying his strength was!

The crowd was shocked, and the old man stood there quietly watching them.

Although he didn't exude a powerful aura like just now, everyone strongly felt that the old man in front of him, who looked weak, was simply a god descending from the earth!

Yan Changsheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he cried out in a lost voice: "You, you are the heroic move to guard Huai Jiangshan!"

"Ying Zhao ......" suddenly heard this name, the old man was moved, and his expression changed from the majesty just now back to the decadent and old man that everyone saw before, as if the mysterious power in his body was sucked away in an instant.

"No, I'm not a hero, the lord is dead, and the gods are dead!" the old man cried loudly, like a child.

"If you're not a god, who are you?"

As a human being, he will never live to be tens of thousands of years old, but this old man has no demonic aura on his body, if he is not a god, what kind of strange existence can he be!

"I don't know, I don't know!" the old man roared, and his expression became a little crazy.

"What should we do now?" Yan Changsheng said in a low voice to Mo Li, who had just stood up.

Mo Li gasped and said in the same low voice: "If you want to know the secret of Huai Jiangshan, you can only open a gap from him, otherwise we may never be able to leave this ghost place." ”

"But he looks crazy, and he doesn't speak in the first and second words, how can we get useful information from him?"

"I suspect that this old guy is deliberately trying to confuse us and make us die here like the people who went up the hill before. ”

Neither of them dared to speak loudly, the hand that the old man had just revealed shook their hearts, and they were afraid that this private discussion would make the old man angry again when he heard it, and inflict even more terrible punishment on everyone.

While they were debating how to test the old man's depths, the old man's expression had regained his composure, and he sat down on the stone with his head in his hands, his head in his hands, and his mouth moaning like that of a wounded beast.

This scene was a bit terrifying, which made people look creepy, but no one sneaked away while the old man was in a trance.

Because they all know that even if they leave, they are still trapped in the mountains and cannot leave.

At this moment, most of them almost forgot the original intention of coming to Huaijiangshan, Lang Yuguo is no longer important to them, how to leave Huaijiangshan safely alive is the most important issue.

But if you want to get out of here safely, you have to count on the strange old man in front of you, so everyone stands dumbfounded, all waiting for the old man to come to his senses before making the next move.

At last the old man stopped moaning, and he said weakly, "Go, get out of here, or you will regret it." ”

Xu Chen sighed: "Old man, we have been trapped in the mountain for seven days, do you know the correct route to go down the mountain?"

As soon as he heard this, the old man's expression suddenly darkened, and he muttered: "Alas, I am really old and confused, I can't get out myself, and I actually persuade others to leave!"

"You can't get out either?" Everyone was taken aback, and Mo Li couldn't help but repeat the old words: "The predecessors said that the people who entered the mountain are dead, why can you survive?"

After suffering a loss, Mo Li's tone also became modest, and he was willing to anger this supreme powerhouse again.

"For my heart is as hard as stone. In Huaijiangshan, only people who do not have any desires can live. ”

Xu Chen looked ignorant, and asked again, "Old man, can you make your words clearer?"

"You don't know at all, the location you are in at this moment is the divine array set up by the ancient gods in order to protect Huaijiang Mountain from the intrusion of evil spirits, once you strayed into it, it will be difficult for you to get out!"

Everyone's frightened mouths couldn't close, and Xu Chen said in a lost voice: "You mean we are in the dead ground?"

"Yes, it's been nearly 10,000 years, I've tried countless methods, and I'm still stuck here, never able to get out. ”

"In that case, why haven't we seen a single body of the victim in the past seven days?" Mo Li was panicked, but still persistently raised his own question.

Even if he angered the old man because of this, and suffered a heavy blow from him, Mo Li would know the reason.

"As I said, they all died in Huaijiang Mountain, not here, and of course you don't see any bodies. ”

"In this way, we are now in the divine array, and we haven't seen the real Huaijiang Mountain?"

"It can't be said that your current location is also a part of Huaijiang Mountain, but you have only come to the surface of it, and the core of Shenshan Mountain, you don't even have a chance to feel it. ”

"Why are you talking to us about this, and what is the reason why the core of Huaijiangshan is worth going there?"

"The divine array set up by the gods contains the mysteries of the nine heavens and ten earths, and even the gods themselves who set up the array cannot know all the mysteries contained in the divine array after the array is completed. In order to avoid being trapped in the formation by mistake and not being able to leave safely, this god hid the method of breaking the formation in the core area of Huaijiang Mountain, if anyone can find it, the divine array will be wiped out in an instant, and the people trapped in the formation will naturally be able to escape. ”

Xu Chen was suddenly overjoyed, and he hurriedly said, "Old man, do you know the way to the core area of Huaijiang Mountain?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Li waved his hand to signal him not to be excited, but stared at the old man with his eyes like a torch, and said in a cold voice: "Since the seniors know this secret, why didn't you go to the core area of Huaijiang Mountain to find a way to break the formation and leave here for so many years?"

Xu Chen's face immediately turned red when he heard this, thinking that I am still too simple, Brother Mo is much more thoughtful than me, imagine a person who is trapped in the formation and knows the way to break the formation, but he is willing to stay here, isn't this abnormal?

If he doesn't have a ghost in his heart, it can only mean that others are lying to themselves.

The old man sighed: "Everyone who is trapped here has asked me the same thing, but in the end, they went to the core of the Divine Mountain to find a way to break the formation, and you will be no exception. ”

Mo Li sneered in his heart: "Senior is so sure, we will definitely listen to you?"

"What I just said is a prophecy of the gods that has been handed down from ancient times, and I can't confirm the truth or falsehood of it. But is there any other way for you to get out of here than to believe in it?"

Mo Li was dumbfounded, and a chill suddenly rose in his heart, this is really the most helpless thing in the world, even if he knows that there is a trap waiting for him to fall into, he has no choice.

The old man said, "It's not that I don't want to go out, but as soon as I go out, the world will be in chaos and cause immeasurable consequences, so I think twice and can only stay here." ”

Everyone was shocked, although the old man's words were very conceited, but with the trick he had just cleaned up, it was enough to make the cultivators of the world surrender in front of him, even the current God King and Demon Lord, or the Demon Emperor Qianyehua, were not sure to beat him.

He is so powerful and mysterious, if he is born with ambition, he can make the earth bleed like a river with a wave of his hand, and all living beings will die at his hands.

But Mo Li still didn't dare to fully believe his words, and asked again: "I didn't expect that my predecessors actually had such a bodhisattva heart, but I think that you have been trapped here for so long, and you are not at all interested in the secrets of Huai Jiangshan, which is too abnormal!"

"It's normal for you to be surprised, because I'm so different from you and all living beings in the world, so I can resist temptation. ”

"What's different about you, is it because your cultivation has reached the realm of invincibility in the world?"

"You guessed completely wrong, everyone in the world has the desire to survive, and I only want to die!"

Everyone was stunned, what the old man said in the first half of his sentence was right, but all living beings in the world, who would be willing to easily lose their lives, even if they were all hopeless, they would hesitate again and again before looking for death, before they dared to make this decision, but why did this old man say that he had the intention of begging for death, did he have a tragic and desolate life experience?

Xu Chen was shocked, and said without hesitation: "Old man, you must not have the idea of suicide, people live for a lifetime, there are always things to love, how can you easily find death?"

"Seeking death?" the old man laughed, and then said to everyone in a cold voice, "Do you think I think that kind of coward who has no courage?"

After speaking, he came to a sailor monster behind Xu Chen on crutches, pointed to the saber on his waist and said, "Little guy, lend me the knife in your hand." ”

The monster dared not to borrow it, and quickly pulled out a sharp long knife and handed it to him.

I saw that the old man smiled after taking the knife in his hand, and suddenly raised the long knife and slashed at his left hand!

"Old man, don't!" Xu Chen was taken aback, but the old man's action was so fast that it was indescribably fast, and no one could stop it, so he could only watch him slash at his left hand.

Before Xu Chen could feel his heartache, something strange happened in front of him, there was no blood flowing out of the old man's broken arm, but dozens of emerald and jade rattans grew, they were entangled with each other, and finally a new arm was generated!

"Is he playing a trick?" Just when Xu Chen was frightened, the old man smiled and said to him: "You try to punch me in the chest, just like you do with an enemy, don't retain any strength." ”

"The juniors don't dare!" Xu Chen waved his hand again and again, how could he do such an evil thing.

You must know that if you punch it with all your strength, let alone the frail old man in front of you, even a huge rock will be smashed on the spot and turned into a pile of broken sand.
