"Crunch!"

The old door opened, and it was pitch black, except for a small candle in the depths that gave a dim yellow light, illuminating a rickety figure.

He was already drooping and old, with silver hair, and he looked like he was about to die, only his eyes were focused on a small piece of wood in his hand, and a lifelike figure slowly emerged.

Luo Xingchen stood aside and didn't speak, watching the wood carving take shape little by little, and finally ...... Became his own appearance.

"I didn't know what to carve before, but today I suddenly felt a blessing in my heart, and I started to do it for a while, what do you think?"

Gently blowing off the sawdust on the wood carving, the old man of the wood carving, that is, the withered wood, looked at Luo Xingchen and said.

"It's a lot clumsier than your previous work, and it seems to lack some polish. Luo Xingchen glanced at it and said very objectively.

"Yes!" Witherwood raised his head, glanced at Luo Xingchen meaningfully, and then said, "I also think he still owes some polishing." ”

Luo Xingchen was a little confused, and he didn't know where to open his mouth for a while, did he just say that he would risk his death to save Kong Yuan?

"Okay, don't mother-in-law, the last time you left, it was much more crisp than now. If you have something to say, old man, what I have now is time. Seeing Luo Xingchen's hesitation, Wither Wood stood up and said.

"Since that's the case, the junior will say it directly. After hesitating for a moment, Luo Xingchen still spoke: "I don't know what the relationship between my predecessors and Kong Yuan is?"

"Kong Yuan? Do you know him? It's just a general acquaintance, his ancestors have an old relationship with my ancestors, and I have some connections with him. The withered wood's tone was so calm that Luo Xingchen was afraid.

It's just a general acquaintance! Luo Xingchen's heart was cold, since this is the case, then why did he let him help?

On the side, the light in the withered wood's eyes flashed, smiled, and said: "Okay, let's talk about something quickly, I just teased you just now, I have a good relationship with him, since you have seen him, you know that he is already an immortal emperor." In fact, I helped him. ”

Luo Xingchen scolded secretly in his heart, this old man is really so unscored. But he also knew that he had been a little stupid just now. Kong Yuan had said that it was this old man who helped him break through the Immortal Emperor, if it was just a general acquaintance, who would do this?

"In that case, it's simple. Senior, please help Kong Yuan's senior!" Luo Xingchen arched his hand, bowed deeply and said.

"What's wrong with him, I remember that he was fine before I left, it stands to reason that they have his support in their clan now, and the old ancestor in their clan is here, there shouldn't be trouble, is it that he got into some trouble, it should be a romantic debt, well, it must be, this kid is really not as honest as he seems." Witherwood said to himself, not seeing the disgust on Xingchen's face at all.

"Senior, you listen to me......" Luo Xingchen hurriedly stopped him from continuing to make up for it, and then told him everything that happened in the Peacock Clan.

"Bang!"

A quarter of an hour later, an invisible coercion suddenly erupted in the cabin where Luo Xingchen was, causing the heavens and the earth to shake, and the whole world seemed to tremble, and the deep horror made Luo Xingchen's heart unconsciously feel fear, even the fear that he didn't feel when he was treated like that by the Nine Soul Demon Emperor!

"How strong is this old man, can't he be a god who stays in the fairy world?" Luo Xingchen shook his head, his eyes full of horror.

Fortunately, just now it was just a moment of emotional out-of-control, and the next moment the withered wood cleaned up his emotions and gathered all his breath, and the world returned to normal.

"Bold, really bold, this group of shameless reptiles, it is a pity of the whole immortal world that they failed to destroy their species back then, this time the old man must not let them go. The withered wood yelled, and the knife in his hand became aura little by little, so that Luo Xingchen couldn't even see the quality!

"So, senior, did you promise to help?" Luo Xingchen said in surprise.

Witherwood was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said, "What did you say, when did I say I was going to help them?"

Luo Xingchen was also stunned, and said, "But you ...... just now"

"I just said I wanted to eradicate that damn reptilian, I didn't say I wanted to help Kong Yuan?"

Luo Xingchen was even more confused.

"Is there any difference between the two?"

Witherwood shook his head and looked at him, like ...... Look at an idiot!

"Son, you're too young to know even the most basic rules. Do you know what an Immortal Emperor is? This is the strongest person in the Immortal Realm, equivalent to the master of the Immortal Realm, can such a character say anything and take action? Not to mention that he still meddles in the affairs of other Immortal Realms, that will cause huge trouble, so I can't meddle in their internal affairs, but I have an old grudge with the Great Desolate Snake Clan, and I want to take revenge, who can say anything?"

Luo Xingchen glanced at him angrily, and then said: "Isn't it just a layer of skin for yourself? I don't believe they dare to offend you." ”

"Hehe, of course there is, they beat me to a human form and ran back to complain to me, as a master, I naturally can't stand by coldly. Witherwood said.

"When did you have an apprentice??Where were you?How badly were you beaten?," Luo Xingchen said with his eyes lit up.

The witherwood looked at him without a single look.

"Hey!" Luo Xingchen was uneasy.

"Old man, the apprentice you are talking about, should you ......" Luo Xingchen said, pointing at himself in disbelief.

Wither nodded with a smile.

"Get out!" The next moment, Luo Xingchen couldn't help but roar out anymore.

"You are an old immortal, who is your apprentice, and besides, who you just said was beaten to a human form? Who is complaining to you, you tell me clearly. Luo Xingchen said with wide eyes like an angry lion.

However, Witherwood just smiled and said nothing, and then said, "Then let Kong Yuan and them die." ”

"I!@!#¥"

Luo Xingchen's eyes widened for a moment, and then he pointed at him with trembling all over his body and said: "You old immortal, don't want me to call you master, what did you teach me, you didn't do anything except make fun of me, you still want to be my master, go die." ”

Witherwood didn't care about him anymore, just picked up the teacup and took a sip, then shook his head and said, "Young man...... It's still too angry!"

Luo Xingchen continued to abuse.

Finally, half an hour later, Luo Xingchen's mouth was also dry, and the anger in his heart had almost subsided, and he finally sat down opposite him calmly.

"Hey, old man, I'll ask you one more thing. Luo Xingchen said.

"What's the matter?" The withered wood was still smiling.

"What do you have to do with this Nangong Village, I see that you are obviously reluctant to guard here, why do you want to stay here?" Luo Xingchen hesitated for a long time, and finally asked.

He knew that there must be some secret here, and he didn't want to ask because it was ...... He can stay here forever and guard them!

But he knew that he couldn't do this, it was unfair to the withered wood, and the sadness in his eyes from time to time made him feel as if he saw himself, and he couldn't help himself!

Witherwood gave him a deep look, and then said, "Someone once asked the same question as you, and then died!"

"Who?" Luo Xingchen raised his eyebrows and said.

"My wife!"

Luo Xingchen's eyes widened again, and he suddenly felt as if he shouldn't ask this question.

"How much do you know about this Nangong Village?" After a moment, Witherwood suddenly asked.

"It is supposed to be a village founded by the descendants of a sage, and it has been guarded here for generations, and it has been greatly meritorious, but it has been forgotten. Luo Xingchen said, feeling a little sorry for them.

"It's natural, these answers can be asked from the mouth of any person in Nangong Village, and I'm talking ...... Have you learned more about this village, the people in this village?" said Witherwood, shaking his head.

"People here?" Luo Xingchen shook his head: "Very simple, very kind, and friendly......

"It's not character. Innate factors!" Witherwood interrupted him impatiently.

Luo Xingchen smiled, and then said, "Cultivation is a thousand miles a day!"

In fact, he had already discovered this, and he had only deliberately teased him before, but he didn't know why. Nini, this girl has been practicing for less than ten years now, but now she is at the peak of the Heavenly Immortals, and she is only one step away from breaking through the Immortal King, and her speed is even comparable to her own, and this is still done without a suitable exercise for her, without the assistance of medicinal stones, and without the cultivation of immortal crystals, in terms of talent, she is much stronger than Luo Xingchen, such a person can already be regarded as a master of the next generation, and he is the strongest of the people, how could Nangong Village give birth to such a demon.

Luo Xingchen thought he had guessed the truth, but the withered wood still had a serious face, shook his head and said, "These are indeed their talents, and they are talents that everyone has, but do you know why?"

"Because they are descendants of gods, the power of the bloodline is abnormal, so they can cultivate faster. Luo Xingchen said.

"Even if it is the descendants of the gods, after so many generations of reproduction, the bloodline has long been dispersed, otherwise almost all the major forces in the immortal realm now have the bloodline of the god realm, why don't you see them above everyone?"

"This ......" Luo Xingchen was speechless, so he could only arch his hand and say: "Senior, let's be blunt, I can't guess." ”

"Hmph!" Witherwood snorted coldly, glanced at him proudly, and then said, "Because of this Nangong Village itself...... It's a big treasure!"

"Treasure?" Luo Xingchen's voice was slightly higher.

Witherwood squinted his eyes slightly and looked at him, and then said, "The underground of Nangong Village - there is the corpse of that god buried!"

"Boom!"

A thunderclap sounded, Luo Xingchen took two steps back, and then hurriedly shook his head and said, "Senior, don't be joking." ”

"I'm not kidding, the god is buried in this land, and he is nourishing his offspring with corpses to this day, and his divine power is integrated into this land, the trees that grow in this land, the water beneath this land, and all the living beings in this land. Because of this, the strength of the bloodline of the people of Nangong Village is still comparable to that of the first generation of Sons of God, and in terms of the progress of the Sons of Gods, their cultivation speed is really too slow. ”

After the withered wood finished speaking, Luo Xingchen was completely shocked, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Senior, you still haven't told me what this has to do with you?" After a long time, Luo Xingchen suddenly said this, as if he had forgotten everything just now.

Witherwood looked at him with a very strange look, and then said, "My ancestor used to be a follower of that man!"

"Followers, is it ......," Luo Xingchen said.

"You're right, the kind of follower who has made a vow to obey his master's orders for generations to come. And, even more ridiculously, I finally found out that my ancestors were not even followers, but only servants of that man......"

Witherwood didn't say much, but Luo Xingchen could feel the bitterness in his heart.

Not to mention how strong that man is, the fact that the servant who followed him is not commendable in itself, and it is probably engraved in his heart as a shame by the withered wood, no wonder he can feel his heartfelt sadness to this day.

"Your ancestors' followers made a vow to protect that person's descendants, and your ancestors swore that from now on, your family will be here for generations, enduring the torment in your heart to protect them?" Luo Xingchen said in a trembling voice.

"I don't know how my ancestors died, but I ...... must have been lying down with the unwillingness to fate and the hatred of the ancestors. Because of this oath, no matter how powerful our people are, we cannot become gods, we cannot break through that last step, we will be born here, we will die here, there will be no end, perhaps, when I die, everything will be over!" said the witherwood, his words full of despair, to this day, he is dying, but he has no descendants, he has the intention of death, and does not want to pass on this curse, this pain.

Luo Xingchen lowered his head, and then said, "Your wife...... You told her about it too?"

"Yes, she asked the same question as you did, and I answered her like that. Then she brought many people to kill me, to take the treasure of the earth, but I killed you! You should rejoice, if you showed the slightest greed, I would not hesitate to kill you. The withered wood's words made Luo Xingchen laugh.

"To tell you the truth, I don't care much about a god, I've been through a lot more than you think. Luo Xingchen said unceremoniously, because he knew that he would not have bad intentions, so he did not hide anything.

Witherwood narrowed his eyes slightly, then shook his head and said disdainfully: "How much of the world can you see as a hairy boy?"

Although he said this, he had to admit in his heart that Luo Xingchen was indeed very rebellious, his luck was amazing, and there were dragon qi shrouded around him, but he didn't know it yet, but people at the same level as himself must have seen it, and he wouldn't be shocked in his heart - this kid is simply the darling of the whole world!

In addition, he also saw a lot of broken dragon qi, as if it had been cut alive, which surprised him, even he could not grasp such things given by heaven and earth, he could take everything he had, including life, which was equivalent to taking away his "luck".

But this is only luck in a narrow sense, referring to what he has that is beneficial to anyone, but the real qi of heaven and earth is something that they can't take away no matter what.

"Boy, have you ever done anything that thunder can't kill you in the sky?"

Luo Xingchen's face suddenly turned dark, and he gritted his teeth and said, "No!"

"Yes, that's weird!" The withered wood looked "shouldn't be!", which made Luo Xingchen almost go away again.

But he still tried to control his emotions and said, "What's so strange, don't I look like a good person?"

Only then did the withered wood realize that what he had just said was too easy to cause misunderstanding, and then smiled awkwardly, knowing that the explanation was not clear now, so he simply shook his head and said: "That's it, you can't understand it now, and then come to me after you become the Immortal Emperor!"

Immortal Emperor! Luo Xingchen almost didn't fly over with a slap, who would remember such a trivial matter at that time!

"Okay, let's stop here, you told me before that Junqing Immortal Refining Array can refine the Peacock Clan in two months at most, it seems that I have to leave as soon as possible. Soon, the withered wood returned to its normal color and said to Luo Xingchen.

"Two months, that was last month. It's only a month now!" Luo Xingchen pouted.

"Then you'll have to hurry, I'm ...... I'll leave tomorrow!"

"Why tomorrow, can't you go now? You go to Kong Yuan's side sooner to rest assured, and if you go later, you won't hear of it?" Luo Xingchen said.

"It's easy for you to say, I'm leaving now, what should I do with this Nangong Village, what about the little guy outside?"

"Yes, Nangong Village is a problem, now that there are changes in this valley of death, there are so many cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods coming and going, without you in charge, I'm afraid there will really be some chaos!" Luo Xingchen lowered his head and thought deeply, and then suddenly raised his head: "Wait, what's the matter with the 'little guy outside' you just said?"

The withered wood sighed speechlessly, and then said, "Finally remembered, why don't you go out quickly, and your white and tender little apprentice will feed the dog later." ”

As soon as the withered wood's words fell, Luo Xingchen's eyes suddenly widened, and then disappeared into the room in an instant.

"Alas, this kid, don't you have a brain when you go out to grow knowledge during this time?" Witherwood shook his head, then picked up the teapot in his hand and drank it down.

"Well, since that's the case, it's okay to stand up before leaving, otherwise these people don't know who is the boss of this land!"

The next moment, the figure of the withered wood slowly disappeared.

At this time, Luo Xingchen had already come to the outside of the village, looking at everything outside the village, his brows suddenly furrowed.

I don't know when a group of people gathered here, each of them wearing thick black clothes, except for one face, all other parts are covered under the clothes, as if they are afraid of the warm sun, exuding a cold atmosphere, which makes people feel unpleasant.

And in this group of people, a little girl who looked to be eleven or twelve years old was constantly waving the long white whip in her hand, and in front of her, a demon dog with an almost transparent body kept attacking her, but was repelled by the long whip again and again.

"Haha, this girl is really capable, she can hold on for so long, I really underestimated her before. ”

"yes, such a lovely girl...... It's the best way to make a furnace. ”

"Vulgar, can't you pursue it a little? The whip in her hand is a treasure, a rare treasure that can hurt my ghost pet!"

............

The people around her kept pointing and pointing, and the little girl trembled, forcibly suppressing the fear in her heart, trying not to let tears fall from her eyes, and her hands were still waving.

"You bad people...... You bully me, wait a minute, my brother will definitely kill you all, you see, Nini won't cry, Nini will laugh and watch you die!" The little girl bit her lip, and both pigtails hung down.

"Yes, your brother, I wish he had killed me, but you can't see it......" said a man on the other side.

At the same time, the half-physical demon dog suddenly stopped, and the momentum of the Heavenly Immortal, which was only a celestial immortal just now, instantly increased to the Immortal King, and then slapped a palm towards the delicate body.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the earth cracked a few cracks, thick smoke filled the place, and the sound of cloth tearing came......

"Do you really want to see me that much? I'm here, and she'll see it...... Look how I let you die!"

A sword light cut a passage through the smoke, and then, a figure slowly walked out of the smoke, and on his shoulder, a little girl was smiling and grabbing his hair, her big bright eyes smiling very happily......
