"Who the hell are you, why do you know my name?!" Tao Xiaozhi grabbed the old man, obviously losing patience with this old man who pretended to be crazy and stupid.

The old man stared at him and shook his head constantly: "It's not like, it's not like it。。。。。。。 ”

Tao Xiaozhi said: "It's not like anything?"

A strange light flashed in the old man's eyes: "It's not like a person who can pull out the unicorn fire." ”

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Since you know who I am, why should we get straight to the point?"

The old man shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "Then you have to let go of me first。。。。。。 ”

Tao Xiaozhi let go of him.

The old man said, "I don't know why you were able to get that sword, but I think there is always a reason for it." ”

Tao Xiaozhi said: "If you want to inquire about its whereabouts, then you are wrong-"

The old man said: "Of course not, it has the right to choose who is its master, this is its right, and no one can change it." If it doesn't have an owner, it's equal to a scrap of metal. But if it chooses you, you can't give it up, because it chooses who it can trust and its future。。。。。。。 ”

Tao Xiaozhi gritted his teeth and said, "However, I have to hand it over。。。。。。。 ”

The old man said, "You can not hand it over, and they can not die-"

Tao Xiaozhi exclaimed: "Do you have any way?"

The old man smiled strangely, "Of course, I'm here for this. ”

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Are you here to help us?"

The old man said, "Of course, otherwise why would I let you stay and drink with me?"

Amu said angrily: "Don't listen to his nonsense, he's just a crazy old man." ”

The iron bucket said: "Look at the 'cup' he gave us, we know that this man is not a madman and is by no means a good thing!"

Yes, it's really hard to understand, maybe only a madman can understand it。。。。。。。。。

Tao Xiaozhi didn't care, and said to the old man: "You say-"

The old man said, "I'm not here to help you, but for the sake of Half-Immortal Island." ”

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Oh?"

The old man said, "Do you know why the Half-Immortal Queen has to get the Qilin Fire?"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Because the ghost master wants it too much, she also wants it." ”

The old man said: "The struggle between two women, this is a good explanation, but it is what they did when they were young, because they no longer like the same man, and they don't even have the slightest love in their hearts。。。。。。。! ”

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Then what is she for?"

The old man's face became solemn: "Because Demixian Island is now at a critical juncture of life and death!"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Do you mean this war?"

The old man said: "This is an external reason, but it is not the main reason - if the internal cause breaks out, the Half-Immortal Island will immediately become an isolated island and a waste island!"

In the war between Ghost Island and Demi-Immortal Island, as far as the current battle situation is concerned, the two armies can actually be said to be evenly matched, and it is unknown who will win and who will lose.

Tao Xiaozhi said: "What is the internal reason? Could it be that there are rebels?"

The old man's eyes were full of worry: "No. ”

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Why is that?"

There was silence for a while, and then a strange light flashed in the old man's eyes, and he smiled: "If you want to know, then you must promise me a condition-"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "What conditions?"

The old man said, "Drink this glass of wine too!"

Is he a madman? Not a madman, why would he do such a crazy thing?!

This time, Tao Xiaozhi was not surprised, nor did he mean to mock, but said lightly: "Why?"

The old man didn't look like he was joking: "I just want to make sure that you are someone I can trust." ”

It turned out that he had put out a few glasses of stinky wine just to test them! The stakes were very high, and the lives of everyone on Demixian Island were at stake, so of course this kind of thing could not be leaked out casually.

"I can't believe him, he's just an old madman, he just wants to trick us!"

Tao Xiaozhi didn't say a word, grabbed his boots, drank the wine in one gulp, and sighed deeply: "Good wine, good wine!"

"Okay, good, sure enough, there is the impulse of a young man and the courage of a person who does great things!" the old man clapped his palms and laughed, and then he smiled at the iron bucket and Amu, "If you don't want to hear it, you can skip the wine, and you can go now." ”

Tao Xiaozhi said: "You go, I will never blame you." ”

Amu patted his chest and said, "For the sake of my brother, I should also drink this wine!" As he spoke, he drank his glass of wine in one go.

The iron bucket had to pinch his nose and said with a wry smile: "I am not very good at drinking, but in order not to lose to this chimpanzee, I should also drink the wine!" Then, he made up his mind, mustered up his courage, and used his strength to eat, and finally drank the glass of wine!

Seeing the painful appearance of their drinking this wine may set a good example for those children who drink bitter potion in the future, and those who can bear even this nausea and pain are necessary for growth!

Although this wine looks very disgusting, the feeling of drinking it is completely gone: first, alcohol is a disinfecting liquid, and the bacteria in the cup are "disinfected"; second, this wine is so fragrant, this aroma has completely covered the stench of boots, and the aroma is refreshing, and the wine is like bringing people into a fairyland, detached and pleasant, and people seem to be reborn! Therefore, this is actually a very good wine, and nausea is just a psychological effect. But, maybe even drunkards don't dare to drink the wine, they actually drank it!

Amu sighed and said, "I've really never drunk such a delicious wine, can I pour me another glass?"

The old man said, "You are not a half-immortal, so you can't drink too much." ”

Amu said unhappily: "You're too picky!"

The old man said: "This is not ordinary wine, it is called 'Half-Immortal Wine', it is a specialty of Half-Immortal Island, Half-Immortal can drink as much as you want, ordinary people drink a little bit is helpful to the body, but drinking too much not only hurts the body, but even the life is hurt!"

The iron bucket said: "It turns out that this is the famous 'half-immortal wine', I heard those skeletons say that this is the wine that the immortals drink!"

"We half-immortals have a very particular taste for drinking。。。。。。。。 The old man's smiling face immediately became gloomy, "But if the demon comes out, maybe we won't be able to drink such good wine again。。。。。。。。 "Everyone knows that this old Taoist priest is starting to tell stories.

After being silent for a while, the old man continued: "There is a mountain on Demixian Island, called Demixian Mountain, and there is an extinct volcano on the mountain, and there is a hole in the volcano, a bottomless big black hole。。。。。。。。 ”

Amu sighed and said, "The old-fashioned story。。。。。。。 Tao Xiaozhi motioned for him to be quiet.

The old man continued: "This cave is called the 'Immortal Demon Cave', and there is an ancient immortal devil sealed in it, called the Millennium Demon Monster。。。。。。 Speaking of millennium monsters, this is a story that dates back almost a thousand years。。。。。。。 At that time, our ancestors, the Demi-Immortals, were persecuted by the Giants, came from the distant Ice and Snow Land (which is now the world of the Giants) and were driven out, crossed the vast ice sea through a simple raft (the sea near the ice pole, most of the time of the year is frozen, and only in the summer is ice and snow), and then crossed the vast Black Sea at the cost of half of the death, and came to the Half-Immortal Island, where it has taken root ever since。。。。。。。。。。 It is said that at that time, there was a very demon on the half-immortal island, that is, the legendary thousand-year-old monster (at that time, it was called the 'demon monster', and it took almost hundreds of years of history to evolve into the current name), our ancestors called the 'fairy saint', he was the leader of our clan at that time, he had the most powerful 'immortal law' of our half-immortal clan, under his leadership, the half-immortal clan drove the demon monster into the fairy cave, and used ' The immortal talisman was sealed inside, so that the demon monster could never come out, and the history of the civilization of the half-immortals began to multiply from then on。。。。。。。。。 However, after thousands of years of changes, the millennium monster has not been completely suppressed, but the magic is getting stronger and stronger, in recent decades, the size of the earthquake that has occurred on the half-immortal island, has exceeded 100 times, and several earthquakes almost sank the fairy egg in the Black Sea - these earthquakes are not caused by volcanic eruptions, earth dragons (legendary dragons that can travel between the earth and cause earthquakes) or some other reason, but the millennium monster is doing tricks, he wants to break through the shackles of the 'fairy talisman', and he has to struggle out! The mana of the Immortal Saint's Immortal Fu back then can no longer suppress the power of the thousand-year-old demon! If this thousand-year-old demon comes out, I'm afraid this half-immortal island will no longer exist in the world! Moreover, the thousand-year-old demonic monster will cause chaos everywhere, and no one can stop it, and even the demon world will become a ruin at that time!"

Amu said disdainfully: "It seems to be the end of the world, since the Immortal Saint was able to suppress the thousand-year-old monster with the Immortal Talisman at that time, there must be someone with higher mana than him now, and he will definitely drive it back to the cave again." ”

The old man said: "Half-Immortal Island, now the highest immortal law is our queen, but her mana is a drop in the ocean compared to the immortal saint, she also tried to use her immortal talisman to seal this monster, but it is no different from a piece of waste paper! Even the half-immortal queen with boundless mana can't suppress this devil, just ask, who else in the world can do it?"

Although this sentence has a lot of exaggeration, it is not unreasonable: if it is a person of the devil's way, you can use the "magic talisman" to seal the demons and monsters, but the "fairy talisman" mana is obviously higher, because the "immortal talisman" is exactly the weapon that the demons and monsters are most afraid of, so that the highest mana of the immortal talisman in this world is none other than the half-immortal, of course, the gods of the other world that the half-immortal believes in are of course higher, but that is only legendary, no one will be stupid enough to pray for something unknown to save them. Therefore, even the immortal runes can't suppress the thousand-year-old monsters, so what else can suppress them?

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Is there really nothing that can shock the thousand-year-old monster?"

The old man shook his head and said, "No。。。。。。 But—nothing can stop it, but legend has it that there is something that can kill it! This thing has not been born for a hundred years, but it is a thing to see demons and eliminate demons!"

Tao Xiaozhi exclaimed: "Could it be Qilin Fire?!"

The old man smiled weirdly: "Not bad. ”

Tao Xiaozhi said: "How do you know?"

The old man smiled bitterly, "You may not believe this—"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "You say-"

The old man said: "If you want to get rid of the monsters, you must first Qilin - this is what the gods of the heavens told the half-fairy queen in a dream." ”

Tao Xiaozhi didn't speak, only smiled bitterly: In a feudal and superstitious country, anything ridiculous can happen!

The old man said, "They all say that you don't believe it, you don't belong to this kind of belief。。。。。。。。 ”

Tao Xiaozhi shrugged his shoulders and said: "Okay, I don't care if this dream is true or not, whether the Qilin Fire can kill the demons or not, but how can you be sure that the 'Qilin' must be the Qilin Fire?"

The old man said: "Of course, the Half-Immortal Queen also dreamed of some other things: for several nights in a row, she dreamed of a sword with fire, and of course, a thousand-year-old monster。。。。。。。。。 Although she had never seen this sword or a thousand-year-old monster。。。。。。。。。 ”

Since this is the case, Tao Xiaozhi has nothing to say, only a wry smile.

The old man smiled: "Now you understand, why the Half-Immortal Queen must ask you to hand over the Qilin Fire." ”

Tao Xiaozhi nodded and said, "I understand, and I have promised to hand it over in a few days." ”

The old man gritted his teeth and said, "You can't hand it over!"

This made Tao Xiaozhi puzzled: "Why, don't you need it very much, it can save the Half-Immortal Island and the entire Demon Realm!"

The old man stared at him and said angrily: "Because you are Tao Xiaozhi!"

Tao Xiaozhi smiled bitterly: "I'm just an ordinary person, and it's an unusual sword!"

The old man said, "Because you can control it!"

This is a fact, Tao Xiaozhi has nothing to say.

There was a brief silence.

The old man said: "Even if the Half-Immortal Queen gets it, the Half-Immortal Island will still be destroyed, and the world will be in ruins, because it is impossible for her to pull out that sword, such an inherently evil sword!

Qilin Fire is not an ordinary sword, not an ordinary person can control it, only Evil Yang and Xiao Yiyou have conquered it, but maybe even Tao Xiaozhi himself doesn't understand why he can pull it out by magic, no one can think about it!

Tao Xiaozhi thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "I finally understand what you mean——"

The old man laughed: "You are not a very stupid person. ”

Tao Xiaozhi said: "You want me to take the Qilin Fire to kill the thousand-year-old demon!"

The old man is silent, which is equivalent to admitting it!

Tao Xiaozhi suddenly laughed, laughing so much that he didn't even know Amu and the iron bucket, and then he said, "I won't kill the thousand-year-old monster—"

The old man said, "Why?"

Tao Xiaozhi smiled bitterly: "I have bad news to tell you, I can't pull out the Qilin Fire anymore!"

The old man exclaimed, "Could it be that the previous legends are all fake?"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Maybe many people can confirm that this is true, but I can't control the Qilin Fire anymore - in fact, I have never conquered it, but it just wanted to come out to breathe at the time, and now it no longer buys my account! If it comes out, the first one may kill me!"

The old man didn't quite understand the meaning of these words, and then Amu and the iron bucket explained this, and briefly explained what had happened before.

The old man stroked his beard and sighed, "That's troublesome。。。。。。。。。 ”

Tao Xiaozhi said with a smile: "So, you asked me to kill the thousand-year-old monster and save the half-immortal island to save the world, it seems that you are looking for the wrong person。。。。。。。。 ”

The old man said, "But you still have to go, because you were able to draw that sword once, because you are the only hope now!"

Tao Xiaozhi smiled bitterly: "What if I don't go?

"If you don't go。。。。。。。。 The old man suddenly flew up his crutches, kicked Tao Xiaozhi over the edge of the guardrail at the top of the tower, and then locked his throat with his crutches, and said angrily, "I'll throw you down!"

The paper in Tao Xiaozhi's hand fell, falling with the wind, as light as life!
