Li Qing entered the seventh layer of the world, and when he raised his eyes, the surroundings were filled with mist, and he couldn't see the mountains and rivers.

Clearing the fog, he walked slowly forward, and after about half an hour, he came to a bamboo forest.

To Li Qing's surprise, there was a thatched hut hidden in the bamboo forest. This hut is not large, surrounded by a fence, forming a small courtyard, quiet and deep, it looks like a human dwelling, but it does not look like the architecture of the ancient gods.

Such a small thatched hut, with the body of a strong man of the ancient god clan, could not be lived in at all. Clearly, this is a human settlement.

I didn't expect to see such a room on the seventh floor. It was really unexpected.

Li Qing walked into the bamboo forest gently. When I got closer, I could see that there was an ancient tree in front of the thatched hut, and there were stone tables and chairs under the tree, and there were ...... on it There's an old man sitting!

This frightened Li Qing, there was actually a living person on the seventh floor? How is this possible? It is incredible to think about it.

It all seemed so eerie, and there was a fog all around, and everything was quiet and dreamlike. The old man sat under the tree, giving people a feeling of loneliness.

Li Qing was secretly vigilant in his heart, gently pushed open the garden gate, and walked inside.

"It's been tens of thousands of years, and someone has finally climbed to the seventh floor!" the old man's voice came, and he didn't look back, and was drinking under the tree.

"Who are you?" Li Qing looked at him vigilantly.

"Would you mind sitting down and having a drink with me?" the old man gestured.

Li Qing hesitated for a moment, and then sat down on the stone bench. looked at the old man head-on, and found that this person looked amiable, and there was a kind of vicissitudes in his eyes, as if he had gone through the ages.

"It's been tens of thousands of years, and I'm so lonely, and I feel happy to have someone to talk to me. The old man smiled faintly and raised his hand to drink the wine from the cup.

"Tens of thousands of years? impossible! Who are you?" Li Qing felt very puzzled. How can humans live for tens of thousands of years? unless it's a monster.

"Who am I, who am I?" the old man's eyes showed a faint reminiscence, "My name is Prince Shi Xuan, have you heard of it?"

"Prince Shi Xuan? Li Qing shook his head. Could it be that he is the prince of an ancient country?

"Hehe, I haven't heard of it, this is normal, after all, after so many years, the people who know me have long since died, and the world has forgotten me. The old man seemed to be laughing at himself, "What is the meaning of my existence? The people I know are dead, the people I love are also dead, all my relatives and friends are dead, and there is not even a single person in the world who knows me, what is the meaning of my existence?"

The words spoken by this old man had a negative artistic conception, and all thoughts were lost, but the expression on his face was strangely calm, as if all this was none of his business, but from the perspective of a third person.

"I want to ask you a question. The old man said suddenly.

"What's the problem?"

"If you get immortality, but all your relatives and friends die in the long years, and you become a loner, do you think such immortality is meaningful?"

"This question...... I'm afraid it's too far away for me to answer. Li Qing smiled bitterly. This old man is really weird, and I wonder if he is a normal person after all.

"That's it, that's it. The old man sighed, he didn't expect to get any answer from Li Qing, he just talked boringly to himself, "Let's get down to business, about my identity, you don't know Prince Shi Xuan." However, I have another identity, which you should probably have heard. ”

"Oh, what's that?"

"I'm the son of the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor!" the old man said lightly, but it seemed like a shock.

"What?" Li Qing's face changed greatly when he heard this, and his scalp was numb in shock, "This ...... How is this possible? Son of the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor, aren't you a demon beast? But you are clearly a human being!"

The old man in front of him looks so kind, he looks full of human wisdom, and he doesn't look like a demon beast no matter how he looks at it.

After asking this question, Li Qing suddenly reacted...... By the way, the demon beast has reached the demon saint level, and it can be transformed into a human form, but it needs to pay a great price.

Thinking of this, Li Qing couldn't help but have cold hairs standing on end all over his body, only demon beasts of the demon saint level could possibly transform into human form, wouldn't that mean ...... The old man in front of him is a demon saint?

In front of the Demon Saint, Li Qing is really too weak and can be pinched to death at will, doesn't that mean that he is in danger now?

"What's impossible? I'm the only bloodline born to the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor and the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox!" The old man smiled faintly, "As for my appearance as a human being, it's also simple, it's from the demon beast's incarnation." ”

After receiving the old man's affirmative answer, Li Qing immediately became much more cautious. Regardless of whether what the other party said is true or not, you have to be careful, this is a demon beast.

"Looks like you're scared?" the old man laughed.

"It's a little. Li Qing replied. Hell if you're not afraid.

"You don't need to be afraid, I won't hurt you. I've lived in the human world for a long time, longer than you! I don't hate humans. The old man said.

Regardless of whether the old man hated humans or not, at least for now, there should be no malice, Li Qing couldn't help but ask, "Since you are the son of the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor, why are you being locked up here?"

"This brings me to another identity. The old man said, "My other identity is the father of this ancient god!"

The old man is also very talkative, and he has nothing to hide from these secrets, perhaps after so many years, he has been lonely for too long, and he has found someone to talk to.

Li Qing cried out in a lost voice: "You are the father of the ancient gods, isn't that the ancient god ......?"

Now he finally understood, he had always suspected that the ancient gods had something to do with the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor, but he didn't expect it to be the grandson of the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor. No wonder the ancient gods used the stone monkey as a totem!

"I know your doubts. The Old God is indeed my son, the grandson of the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor, but things are not so simple. To be precise, the Old Gods weren't exactly monsters. The old man shook his head.

"Oh, what do you say?"

The old man glanced at him and said, "It seems that you are very curious about these secrets. Why don't you do me a favor and I'll tell you these secrets?"

Li Qing said: "If I can do this, I can agree." ”

The old man said, "When my father died, he turned into a stone and flew away through the air, and no one in the world knew the whereabouts of this stone. But...... As his son, I can roughly sense the direction of the stone through the sense of blood. ”

"What do you mean......" Li Qing was taken aback.

"How about you go and help me find the stone and put it back under the ancient Bodhi tree in Tongtian Mountain?" said the old man.

"Impossible!" Li Qing said categorically.

"Are you afraid that this stone will give birth to a Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor again?" the old man sighed, "Well, I knew you wouldn't agree." So, go and find the stone, and then find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to bury it, and erect a tombstone with ...... written on it. The unfilial son Shi Xuan wept. ”

"What if you can't find it?"

"If you can't find it, forget it. ”

"I can promise that. Li Qing nodded, speaking of which, he was also very curious about the stone turned into by the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor, and he felt admiration for this Demon Emperor who was famous for all eternity. If you can find this stone, you might as well do him a favor.

"If you're willing to help, I'll tell you these secrets. The old man told Li Qing about the ancient secrets.

"Speaking of which, the cause of these things, in the final analysis, is just a love word! Do you know why I still maintain my human form now?"

"Why?" Li Qing was also puzzled. Since it is a demon beast, there is no need to maintain a human form all the time, which will make you uncomfortable, and your strength will also decrease.

"Alas, I haven't recovered my body since I took on human form. I've almost forgotten what I am. The old man said.

"There is such a thing!"

The old man said, "That year, I had just achieved the Demon Saint. After living in Demon Emperor Mountain for many years, I was tired of the lonely and boring days, so I couldn't resist the temptation of the human world, and disobeyed the persuasion of my parents, turned into a human form, and entered the human world. ”

Li Qing listened quietly.

The old man's eyes were deep, and he fell into memory: "You humans will never understand how much human civilization makes us monsters yearn for. Compared to the boring life of the monster, how wonderful the outside world is. I entered the human world and soon became obsessed with the boundless red dust. ”

"Soon after, I met a beautiful human woman, a woman who fascinated everyone, a woman who eclipsed the sun, moon and stars. She is like a fairy above the nine heavens, beautiful and dusty, as white and flawless as a bright moon. The first time I saw her, I fell in love with her. ”

"Since my mother is a nine-tailed sky fox, I have also inherited her beauty, and her appearance is incomparably outstanding. Coupled with my very different personality from humans, it is striking. After the two of us met, we were like magnets, attracted to each other and fell in love with each other deeply. ”

"Later, the two of us got married and had a son, and he ...... It's the old gods. ”

"The so-called ancient gods are the sons born of my union with a human woman. Now, you should understand, why the old god is not exactly a demon beast, right?"

"That's right!" Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief. After listening to the old man's story, his face was very calm.
