Chapter 742: The mysterious old man is called Hanako
Do you mean, the old man of the Divine Machine also knows about this gathering, and even more about the Holy Prince?" Hearing Gu Chenfeng's words, Ling Yu was stunned for a moment, then looked directly into Gu Chenfeng's eyes and asked softly. Ling Yu knew that Gu Chenfeng's master was one of the top Dao geniuses in Huaxia, and his words were absolutely credible.
"Yes, I left Fenglin Academy after the grand event of the five-year covenant ended. Because my master was catching up with an old friend in Ximo, I went to Ximo to visit him. I remember that the master said something to the Western Desert monk, he said that the Holy Emperor not only had a very high prestige in the Star Sea, but also attracted a group of forces in the Immortal Realm. And among the forces that are friendly with the Holy Emperor in the Immortal Realm, there is one force that is particularly attentive to the Holy Emperor. And ......" Speaking of this, Gu Chenfeng smiled mysteriously and whispered to Ling Yu: "And you also know that force, and it has a lot of origins. ”
Seeing Gu Chenfeng's mysterious expression, Ling Yu was slightly stunned. Although the Nine Heavens Ling family was Ling Yu's ancestor, Ling Yu had never crossed paths with them, and the only person Ling Yu knew who was considered a friend in the Immortal Realm was Ximen Xuanyu in the Soul Hiding Realm. Could it be that the Holy Emperor and the Soul Hidden Realm are good friends?
Seeing Ling Yu's puzzled expression, Gu Chenfeng smiled slightly and explained to Ling Yu: "That force can't be regarded as your friend, it should be said that it is your enemy. Because although most of their cultivators have ascended from Huaxia to the Immortal Realm, their elders are treacherous and hypocritical villains. ”
"You mean, Shang Qingyun of the Heavenly Hidden Realm?" Hearing this, Ling Yu finally guessed who the force Gu Chenfeng was talking about was. Ever since Shang Qingyun and Yuwen Longteng conspired to kill Ling Yu when they were in Fenglin Academy, Ling Yu and Shang Qingyun had completely drawn a clear line. And Shang Qingyun, an old fox, has a vicious mind, but he always pretends to be a good person. He is dull and delicate, and extremely difficult to deal with. After his trip to the world at the bottom of the well, Nangong Yu shocked Shang Qingyun and forced him to leave the Huaxia Continent. Unexpectedly, the Holy Emperor was still friends with Shang Qingyun and the Heavenly Hidden Realm.
"That's right, it's Shang Qingyun, the old fox. My master said that since the Holy Prince invited me to come to the party, if I really couldn't shirk it, I would come honestly. It's just that try not to have anything to do with the Holy Prince. Because although the Holy Prince looks like a humble gentleman on the surface, he has great plans. The reason why the old man mentioned Shang Qingyun was because thirty years ago, a large tomb suddenly flew from the ancestral land of the Heavenly Hidden Realm, and when the big tomb fell to the Heavenly Hidden Realm, it directly crushed the six elders of the Heavenly Hidden Realm who had cultivated to the heavens into a pulp. The Lord of the Heavenly Hidden Realm used all his secret techniques to get in touch with the creatures in the tomb. After that, this matter was regarded as a top secret by everyone in the Heavenly Hidden Realm. My master guessed that the creatures in that large tomb must have reached some kind of consensus with the Lord of the Heavenly Hidden Realm. And the Holy Emperor Monk Qingyun's friendship with the Heavenly Hidden Realm is likely to be related to that big tomb. ”
"Big Tomb?" Regarding Gu Chenfeng's explanation, Ling Yu had actually heard Nangong Yu say it a long time ago, and when Nangong Yu mentioned the big tomb, he also had a look of jealousy. It is because no one knows where the tomb came from or what creatures are buried in it, that it is terrifying.
"The Heavenly Hidden Realm is not a top-level force in the Immortal Realm, but because of that big tomb, everyone is unwilling to be an enemy of the Heavenly Hidden Realm. And the Holy Emperor contacted the Heavenly Hidden Realm this time, I think there must be some ulterior secret between them. Gu Chenfeng recalled his master's words and sighed.
"Well, I see, thank you Brother Gu for the reminder. Ling Yu clenched his fists slightly at Gu Chenfeng and said with a smile. Although Ling Yu didn't know why the Holy Emperor held such a grand event, from his relationship with the Heavenly Hidden Realm, Ling Yu had no way to become friends with him. The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other.
"Brother Ling, I've been running all the way, I'm a little tired, wait for me to rest for one night, and tomorrow after finding our friends who don't know each other at the grand event, let's get drunk and rest again!" Gu Chenfeng smiled at Ling Yu and said softly. Crossing from the Western Desert to Mount Tai, Gu Chenfeng was indeed a little tired.
"Okay, then we'll see you tomorrow!" Ling Yu nodded, watching Gu Chenfeng leave. Although Ling Yu had only seen Gu Chenfeng, a Huaxia cultivator, through him, Ling Yu knew that many friends who had crossed paths in Fenglin Academy had been invited, and it seemed that the Holy Emperor had indeed done some investigation.
After sending Gu Chenfeng away, Ling Yu turned his head to look at the sky, it was almost midnight at this time. The busy pedestrians on the street have also returned to their resting places, the food stalls on the corner are being cleaned up, and it seems that they are about to close, and even the guys in the Donglai Pavilion have begun to sit at the tables and fall asleep. Although Donglai Pavilion is open day and night, there are still a few guests who come to eat and stay at night after all. And the guy who ordered food for Ling Yu before also wiped the table neatly with his hands and feet, although he was very diligent, Ling Yu still saw a trace of fatigue in his eyes. Thinking of this, Ling Yu wanted to get up and leave. But at this moment, a person who walked in from outside the Donglai Pavilion made Ling Yu have to stop moving.
It turned out that when Ling Yu was just about to leave, a ragged beggar suddenly walked in from outside the door. Donglai Pavilion is the most prosperous restaurant at the foot of Mount Tai, and there are two men standing at the door on weekdays to drive away beggars. It's not that the boss of Donglai Pavilion is ruthless, he does it for the good of those beggars. Because the people who received the Donglai Pavilion were all cultivators who came and went, they were irritable and had a strong sense of cultivation. If the beggars were allowed to enter the Donglai Pavilion, it would upset the cultivators, and it would also have an impact on the Donglai Pavilion. If you encounter a cultivator with a bad temper, then the beggar is in danger.
But because it was almost late at night, and the pedestrians on the road had dispersed, the guys were also a little slack, so the old beggar appeared at the door of the Donglai Pavilion. However, the guys in the Donglai Pavilion are also clever, they are cultivators, and when they see a stranger walking into the Donglai Pavilion, they will naturally pay attention to it as soon as possible. When he saw that the old beggar was just about to enter the Donglai Pavilion, the guy who had received Ling Yu before hurriedly walked to the old beggar's side, he stretched out his hand to help the old beggar, and said with a smile: "Old man, this is not the place where you should come, I'll pack some dry food for you, you go back." ”
This was an extremely ordinary trivial matter, and it was reasonable not to attract Ling Yu's attention, but when the guy walked up to the old beggar's side, Ling Yu found something very interesting. That guy's cultivation is not low, and he can be regarded as a master who can protect himself in the Chinese world, but with his skills, he didn't even touch the corners of the old beggar's clothes. To be precise, it was the old beggar who avoided all the fellow's movements. Although the old beggar is faltering, seemingly rootless and weak, he is such a remnant that seems to be only bullied by others, but it is like God's blessing, which is very magical.
Seeing this, Ling Yu couldn't help but feel a strong interest in his heart, and he sat back in his chair and looked at the old beggar with interest. The old beggar was dressed in a blue robe with dark blue and brown patches, and in some places it was too tattered to be repaired. His shirt was covered in dust and oil, and it looked like it hadn't been washed in years. The old beggar's hair hung down to his shoulders, and his face, body, and hands were covered with mud, which was not too unkempt to describe it. Oily hair covered the old beggar's face, making it impossible to see his true face. However, judging from his clumsy appearance, the old beggar was at least seventy years old. And what really surprised Ling Yu was that since the old beggar walked into the Donglai Pavilion, he had never shown any cultivation. And his movements are like flowing water, and they are natural.
Because he didn't stop the old beggar, the guy's face was more or less uncontrollable. His face was slightly red, and he secretly added a little strength, and grabbed at the old beggar's shoulders. Although he was a little annoyed in his heart, this fellow was still a little measured, and with the strength of his shot, he could not hurt the old beggar.
However, this time the result was the same as before, when his hands were about to touch the old beggar, the other party naturally leaned forward and avoided the hands of the fellow. And to outsiders, it seems that the old beggar doesn't know that someone behind him wants to do something to him, and everything seems very natural.
"Hmph!" The two misses made the guy completely annoyed, he let out a low roar, performed the exercises, moved his body freely, and floated towards the old beggar. At this time, the guy has already shown his strongest body, although it will not hurt the life of the old beggar, but it will definitely be impossible to avoid it as an ordinary person.
Looking at the guy who seemed to be a little annoyed and angry, Ling Yu shook his head lightly, and secretly said that this guy's heart was still not at home! However, Ling Yu didn't have the slightest intention of stopping him, because he also wanted to see what kind of state this mysterious old beggar's cultivation was in.
This time, the old beggar did not "run away" from the fellow's hands, or rather, he did not dodge at all, but allowed the fellow to clasp his shoulders. When the man's hands were clasped on the old beggar's collarbone, the man was suddenly stunned, and he came to his senses in an instant. A look of guilt appeared on his face, and he secretly scolded himself for being stupid. The lord of the Donglai Pavilion had made an oath that the men of the Donglai Pavilion could only persuade the beggars to leave, but they were not qualified to hurt them. Because these beggars are not easy, they are already hungry and poorly clothed, and if they are even cultivators who bully them again, it will be too inhumane.
The first generation of the Donglai Pavilion master is worthy of being a generation of benevolent people, and he knows that if everyone has a solid family, healthy parents, and filial piety, who wants to be a beggar? He knows better that every beggar has an unknown bitter past in his heart. Or he was hurt by love, or a loved one died, or he himself was physically disabled. Such people can live in the world and survive for a long time, which is already the greatest favor of God to them. The world treats them unfairly, so how can the guys in Donglai Pavilion bear to bully them? Therefore, when the guys caught the old beggar, they blamed themselves in their hearts.
However, this kind of thing is a mystery for the authorities, and the onlookers are clear. As a bystander, Ling Yu saw everything clearly. He knew that when the man's hands had just touched the old beggar, the old beggar's shoulders shrugged slightly, and it was that seemingly inconspicuous movement that removed all the strength of the man. And because the guy remembered the rules of the Donglai Pavilion, he didn't realize that he didn't cause harm to the old beggar. And when he came back to his senses from the guilt, the strength in his hand naturally loosened. Therefore, from beginning to end, he did not realize that the old beggar was a hidden master.
"Alas, young man, I haven't eaten for three days, I just want to come to the store to ask for some wine and meat, how can you be so ruthless? The old beggar turned his head to look at the man, and said in a distressing tone, trembling. After speaking, the old beggar covered his mouth with one hand, coughed in a low voice, and put the other hand behind his back, beating his crooked back, and was about to walk towards the door of the Donglai Pavilion.
Hearing the old beggar's words, the fellow's face turned red with shame, and his heart felt even more guilty. He had the heart to stop the old beggar, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say. The guy was also innocent, and he didn't see that the old beggar was strange, and he didn't think why the other party was able to dodge his palm.
And Ling Yu looked at the old beggar acting on the side, and became more and more curious in his heart. If the fellow had thought for a moment, he would have thought that the old beggar was no ordinary person. Moreover, ordinary beggars will only ask for porridge and steamed buns, who will beg for wine and meat with one mouth?
Thinking of this, Ling Yu stood up, he patted the man's shoulder, and said with a smile to the old beggar: "Old man, if you don't dislike it, I'll treat you to a meal!"
