Chapter 448: The Old Man

It has been a few months since the evacuation from Yuncheng, but the territory of this Bright God Kingdom is really vast. Without the use of a teleportation array, it would only take a few months to pass through a city.

In the camp of the Green Shirt Army, at this time, the Green Shirt Divine Monarch was lying on the press and looking at the map of the Bright Divine Kingdom: "It's been four months, and it's only taken to capture a city, how long will it take to kill the Bright God Temple! Damn! It's all that kid in the way, but why haven't I seen him?"

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard someone outside the tent say, "What are you thinking?"

When he looked up and saw that this person was the Qingya God King, he hurriedly saluted: "Knock on the God King!

Qingya God King: "It's nothing, just go to the front line to see how Wu'er is doing!

"This ......" When the Tsing Yi Shenjun heard the battle situation, he lowered his head unnaturally at this moment, and stood up: "This ...... Originally, he was supposed to hit the Temple of Light, but I don't know where to turn out of nowhere to turn out of a fifth-level kid in the Jun Soul Realm. That kid fought really well, and Erchen fought with him several times, but he only narrowly won. What's more, he knows how to delay, and every time he evacuates a certain distance, he will return to his horse and kill a shot, which brings great obstacles to the advance of our army, so he ......"

Qingya God King: "Well, I don't need to say it! I know! That kid is the son of the God Emperor back then, and he has been training in the Earth Realm for more than 20 years, and he can indeed lead troops to fight. So it's normal for you to have difficulty winning in the face of him, and the father doesn't blame you. Now that you are able to move forward by a slight advantage, it is worth encouraging. After all, your opponent this time is not comparable to the usual reckless horsemen, cherish it!"

The Qingyi Divine Monarch originally thought that the Qingya Divine King would blame him for leading the troops, but he didn't want his tone to have a little praise in his tone, but now he was also very happy in his heart. He nodded hurriedly: "Well, thank you to the God King, the ministers will do their best to lay down this country for the God King." ”

Qingya God King: "You are my most proud son, and it is natural for my father to take more care of you, how can I thank you? So be careful when fighting him, although he may not be as strong as you, his scheming will definitely be deeper than yours. ”

The Divine Monarch of Green Shirts: "Erchen understands that he must be careful in the future battle, and he will not let it succeed!"

In Yong'an City, Zhao Yulong was counting the number of people before going to the barracks. But he saw the Marshal of the Quartet quickly enter the barracks, and without waiting for the horses to stop, he turned over and dismounted and came to Zhao Yulong.

Zhao Yulong: "What's the matter, the four marshals, I remember that I asked you to transport civilians, are those civilians safe?"

Marshal of the Quartet: "The civilians are still unharmed, and they have all entered the Tianmen Pass." There shouldn't be any danger at the moment, but there are signs of enemy troops in several other cities before, and it seems that this time, they are not all coming from one direction of Yuncheng. The current situation is very unfavorable for us!"

Zhao Yulong: "Don't worry, all this is in my expectation, it's just that the troops are scattered to attack! But no matter where they come from, if they want to kill the Temple of Light in the end, they must pass through the Tianmen Pass, and then we will hold the Tianmen Pass and send a part of the army to attack from the rear, and then we can retreat from the enemy." ”

Marshal of the Quartet: "But Yajun, all our troops are here, where are the troops going around and sneaking attack?" What's more, even if there are soldiers, it can't be a big deal without a general, I'm afraid that this time ......"

Zhao Yulong: "A few marshals can rest assured, I can arrange these freely, and a few marshals only need to implement them according to my plan." By the way, the soldiers have rested enough in the past few days, so you can go down and inform them, evacuate Yong'an, and the whole army will pour into Tianmen Pass!"

Such an answer was inevitably a bit prevaricating, so the four marshals were also extremely apprehensive in their hearts. However, because they thought that Zhao Yulong had created a lot of miracles before, they could only choose to believe him at this time.

Boundary, after a few months of lounging. Jing Rui and Chen Ling had only passed through a country, and now they were nearly ten times more away from Namowen Mountain.

However, it seems that Chen Ling is not in a hurry, no matter what strange things she encounters along the way, she will always stop and watch. Sometimes he asked Jingrui to pay for her.

At first, Jingrui didn't mess around with Chenling because of her mission, but after a few months, seeing that nothing had happened, coupled with Chenling's request, she also accompanied her to play around.

Chenling: "Jingrui, look, that's so fun!

Jingrui: "Slow down, no one will rob you!"

Chen Ling: "Hurry up! Hurry up! What do you look like when you are slow? If you neglect this princess, when you return to the kingdom of God, I will let my father teach you a good lesson!"

Jing Rui: "Okay, okay! Isn't it just riding a lion?

...... Participate in the mall, which is a large mall pool in the territory. The castle was originally founded by a few merchants, but as the shops grew, so did the castle. Now it is a big city where tens of millions of people gather, and this city is also the longest place for Jingrui and Chenling to stay on the way.

Now that Jing Rui and Chen Ling have left the city for only a few days, the city seems to be sealed, and there is a dead silence. The corpses everywhere, and the blood that no one cleans up, became the only sight here.

Now, in the midst of the pile of corpses, there is a man walking slowly. This person was dressed in green armor, his face was cold, and there was a smell of blood all over his body. I saw him walking away, and he didn't forget to say, "Interesting, they've been here before, and they haven't been away for long...... Princess Chenling, it seems that you can't run!"

The night general, it was getting late. The sun rises and sets at the boundaries of the earth, although there is no night of singing and dancing day and night in the bustling towns. But once you leave those cities, the sky is still endlessly dark.

At this time, it was late at night, and Jing Rui and Chen Ling had already left the city for some time, when they saw a big river blocking the way.

Jingrui: "It's getting late, and it's the time when those wild beasts are infested. Although there are very few demon beasts or demonic beasts in your realm, if you encounter ordinary beasts, it is also indispensable. Why don't we find a place to stay and rest first, and then leave tomorrow?"

Chenling: "Okay! It just so happens that this princess and I are tired of playing today, and I want to have a good rest." Let's find a place to sleep!"

Jingrui: "I think the small fishing house by the river is good, we might as well go there and spend the night." ”

With that, Jing Rui picked up Chenling and walked towards a small fishing house by the river. It was a small house, with a pile of planks and thatch. Obviously, the owner is not a large family, and judging by the size of his fishing house, it should be only one or two people living in it.

It's a rudimentary environment, but it's late at night, and there's nowhere else to go. Therefore, Jing Rui still hugged Chenling and walked towards the fishing house.

Before coming to the fishing house, put the half-asleep Chenling on the steps. Jing Rui stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The person who came to open the door was an old man who looked to be 100 years old. The old man didn't have any spiritual power on his body, so he was obviously not a cultivator. But now, although he is older, he is still able-bodied, and he can walk neatly.

Now that he saw Jing Rui and Chen Ling appear outside the door, he didn't show a surprised look, but said with a smile on his face: "The two of you are here to stay overnight, right?"

Jingrui: "Exactly, but dare to ask your mother-in-law, how do you know?"

The old man did not answer him directly, but was turned around and walked towards the door: "Come in! It's so late, what else can anyone come to knock on the door but to stay overnight? It can't be a robbery! I'm a lonely old man, and I don't have much money on me, so you won't be interested." ”

The old man's words were a little vague, but Jing Rui could still hear that her starting point was kindness. So he walked in with Chenling in his arms: "Since that's the case, thank you mother-in-law for the reception!"

Old man: "Don't thank me, it's not interesting for me to live alone by the river all these years." It's a good thing to have someone here on weekdays, the two should be newly married! ”

After hearing this, Jing Rui hurriedly put down Chenling: "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to ......."

Old man: "It's all right! I've gotten used to it over the years. After all, over the years, some young couples have often come to the river to play, and they can't find a place to go when it's dark, so they come to me. I'm used to it, and I'm used to it!"

Jingrui: "But the two of us are indeed not husband and wife. ”

The old man: "Then you should be about to get married! You don't have to explain anything, I can see it in the eyes of the two of you." You know, I was also young back then, and I had someone by my side. But that's all in the past, and now there's only room for reminiscence!"

Jingrui: "I'm sorry! I shouldn't have mentioned this, it hurt you......"

Old man: "It's okay! Everyone has to face reality, this is a normal thing, we don't need to run away from it, just get used to it." Boy, cherish the girl next to you! You can see that she is a good girl, and she really loves you! So you can't let her down, and cherish every day with her. Don't wait until the day you lose to regret it, like I did!"

Jingrui: "Well, thank you, mother-in-law, I will love her well!"

Old man: "I believe in you, young man!" Well, it's getting dark, so you two can rest in the back room! I don't have anything to entertain you here, and the decoration is relatively simple, I hope you will forgive me!"

Jingrui: "It's okay, just have a place to sleep!" But it's so close to the river, aren't you worried that the water will flood this hut one day?"

Old man: "Don't be afraid! The water there can't come up, at most the water waves are noisy at night! But I'm used to it, and I don't think it's anything, go to bed early!"

With that, the old man walked towards the outhouse with a kerosene lamp. And Jing Rui was also about to fall asleep, but out of curiosity, Chenling actually asked: "Mother-in-law, you should have had a romantic youth, can you tell me why you and him are separated?"

This made Jing Rui have the urge to cover Chen Ling's mouth, if you want to say that Chen Ling is playful, forget it! Fortunately, nothing happened along the way, but this mouth is completely used to stir up trouble.

Fang Jingrui could hear from the old man's tone that she was very concerned about the past. Now that Chen Ling actually asks this kind of question, sometimes Jing Rui is wondering if she has gone through her brain to speak.

Therefore, Jingrui hurriedly stepped forward to cover her mouth and apologized to the old man: "I'm sorry......! Mother-in-law, don't care!"

I saw that the old man just sighed and said, "Actually, it's nothing to say, but you may not necessarily believe it." Actually, when my mother-in-law was young, I did have a man I liked. We knew each other and fell in love, and in the end we walked together and gave birth to a daughter, who looks just as smart as you!"

As he spoke, the old man pointed at Chenling. A trace of tears flashed in his eyes, and he wanted to speak.

But Chen Ling didn't look at her face, and kept asking: "Then what happened later, mother-in-law, why did you separate?"

Old man: "Maybe my beginning with him was a mistake in itself! I am a Terran, and he is a Celestial. The lifespan of the human race is only a few hundred years, and even if it is cultivated to the highest power, it is only a thousand years old. And even if he doesn't cultivate, he has enough longevity for 10,000 years, not to mention how strong his strength is?

The old man paused for a moment before continuing: "But at that time, we didn't know these things, we just felt that as long as we could be together, the realm, longevity, and identity were not a problem. But then I realized I was wrong, over time. I'm getting older day by day, and he's still in his prime. ”

But he didn't care about anything, as if I hadn't grown old. But I can't stand it, he's still young. I can't let him live with an old man for the rest of his life, and I don't want him to watch me turn into a pile of bones at the most beautiful age. So one night I left him, the palace I knew, and went to the river, where I spent the rest of my life. Two hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye! I wonder if he is still okay? Maybe he is still so young! It's just that my life is coming to an end! Think of the promise I made with him when I got married, what a ridiculous thing!"

After the old man finished speaking, there was already tears on his face, and now he looked at Chen Ling and Jing Rui before he continued: "So, boy, if you really love this girl, you must become very strong. Only when you are strong enough to surpass the longevity of the human race, you will not make this girl next to you suffer because of birth, old age, sickness and death! Okay! It's getting dark, you should rest early!"

The old man blew out the kerosene lamp and walked out slowly, leaving only Jing Rui and Chen Ling, who were already in tears.

In the middle of the night, the sound of water in the river was still noisy. However, this did not affect Chenling's sleep, maybe it was because she was really tired from playing!

But Jing Rui was sitting on the edge of the bed and watching her quietly, and from time to time put the slipping quilt on her body.

It's not that he's not tired, it's just that he really can't sleep now. After hearing the old man's words, he also had a thousand thoughts in his heart. After all, he and Chenling are also a human race, a celestial existence.

Although the power of the bloodline in his body made him stronger than all the Celestials, it could not change the fact that he was a human race. And the most fatal wound of the human race is the lifespan, no matter which race has a lifespan of thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

Only the human race has only a hundred years, and many people will not live for a hundred years. And today's Jingrui, even if he is gifted and reaches the top strength of the entire Gods Continent, he will only have a lifespan of one or two thousand years because of the bloodline of the human race.

However, these two thousand years are insignificant in the Celestial Clan's nearly 10,000-year lifespan, although most of the Celestial Clans have never lived to 10,000 years due to some accidents. But they have this potential after all, but Jingrui doesn't.

As the old man said, maybe hundreds of years later, Jingrui is already old, or even dead, but Chenling is still in the passing years.

Although there is a reason for Feng Ling, no matter what Jingrui becomes, Chen Ling will love him. But Jingrui didn't want Chenling to suffer, especially for thousands of years after Jingrui's death, Chenling had to spend it alone, how painful it was.

Thinking of this, Jing Rui's heart also felt a deep sourness. He wanted to change that, but it was destiny that couldn't be changed.

Jingrui: "Maybe I should have sent her to a safe place and disappeared like this old man!" In that case, even if there is Feng Ling, she will forget about me after a long time! Or I should make her hate me! After all, it is better to hate me than to watch me die!"

As he spoke, Jing Rui once again touched Chen Ling's face who was sleeping with his hand. She was smiling at the moment, obviously a good dream.

Looking at this sweet smiling face, Jingrui's heart also softened. But soon, he became alert again, and shook Chen Ling awake: "Wake up!

At this time, Chen Ling had just woken up, and now she was still immersed in her sleep: "What's the matter?

Jingrui: "You sober up, there is no sugar gourd! Hurry up and get up, we have to leave here!"

Chenling: "Get out of here, but look out the window, it's still night! Why are you in such a hurry? Won't we say goodbye to the old woman?"

Jingrui: "Don't go anywhere! She's not a good person, it's dangerous here! Come with me!"

Before Chen Ling could react, Jing Rui jumped out of the window with her in her arms. Then, without looking back, he crossed the river and ran towards the hill ahead.

At this time, Chen Ling was still at a loss: "Jingrui, what the hell are you doing! I slept well just now, you want to take me out!"

Jing Rui: "That old man has a problem, I didn't sense any power in her body before. But when she spoke, she said that she had been here for more than 200 years! A person who had never cultivated would never live for a hundred years, and there was definitely something wrong with her!"

Chenling: "No, I think she's fine!"

Jing Rui: "You look at everyone like a good person! Don't forget the little girl before! It's just a stupid person like you who will be on the same time once and a second time!"
