Chapter 55: The Old Man of the Yue Family
In the bustling area of Demon Moon City, countless high-rise buildings are towering, the streets are vertical and horizontal, and the voices are boiling, as if every corner of Demon Moon City is overcrowded, and almost no place is deserted.
Under the leadership of the young man, the three of them entered an alley, although it was an alley, but the road was more than twenty or thirty meters wide, and it was not much more than the conventional road in the secular world, and there were still many stalls on both sides shouting and selling.
"How is Old Man Yue's health?" While walking slowly, Yang Yunxiao suddenly asked.
"You'll find out in a moment." At this time, the young man replied coldly, at this moment, his demeanor became very indifferent, and a cold light flashed in his eyes from time to time, compared to before, it was like a different person.
It's hard to imagine that not long ago, he was a cheerful boy who could speak well and was good at talking, but in the blink of an eye, he became a cold teenager full of gloomy atmosphere, and it would be difficult to accept it for a while.
Even Shentu Liming felt that this young man was very wrong, his right hand was always on the saber at his waist, and if something was wrong, he could protect himself as soon as possible.
However, Yang Yunxiao glanced at Shentu Liming, signaling that he didn't need to be so nervous, and Shentu Liming was relieved.
I don't know why, Shentu Liming saw an absolute self-confidence from Yang Yunxiao, that kind of temperament can give people a strong sense of security, and even let go of his hanging heart.
"That's right, what's your name?" Yang Yunxiao smiled faintly and didn't say anything, just asked the young man's name.
"There is no expiration date." The boy's tone was very cold, like an emotionless machine.
Hearing this name, Yang Yunxiao couldn't help but nodded, it seems that his previous guess was correct, today, the generation of the Yue family has passed to the "none" generation, for them, once they reach this generation, it means that they have ushered in a pole of decay.
And that's exactly the case, the Yue family who are still alive now can be counted with one pair of hands, to put it mildly, the Yue family is almost about to be wiped out.
Similar to the Tian family, the Yue family has been cursed since its birth, but the difference is that the curse of the Tian family comes from the will of the earth, and the curse of the Yue family originates from themselves.
This situation is not so much a curse as a reincarnation, because this decay is inevitable and irreversible, and as long as the Yue family is passed down according to the genealogical surname, it will definitely suffer this great decay.
However, if the Yue family does not inherit according to the genealogy and surname, then the newborns of each generation of the Yue family will die for no reason on the day of the full moon.
In this way, without the birth of fresh blood, the Yue family will still perish sooner or later.
After passing through this alley, Yue Wuji took Yang Yunxiao and Shentu Liming back and forth, turning around and turning around, and even Shentu Liming felt a little dizzy, as if he had fallen into a psychedelic array, making it impossible to distinguish between east and west, north and south.
Walking in all kinds of intersecting and remote alleys in such a complicated way, going around, even some natives of Demon Moon City may not be more familiar than Yue Wuji, but Yang Yunxiao has always looked strange, which makes Shentu Liming feel very strange.
"You've been to Demon Moon City before?" Shentu Liming couldn't help but ask Yang Yunxiao suspiciously.
"I've been here." Yang Yunxiao said with a smile.
Such an answer made Shen Tu Liming puzzled for a while, and he didn't expect that following Yang Yunxiao would actually encounter such a strange thing as the moon indefinite, not only that, but what Yang Yunxiao said was also misty and unpredictable.
In the end, Yue Wuji took the two of them into a very small alley, such a small alley in the Demon Moon City, just like a sewer in a big city, extremely hidden, not seeing the light of day, surrounded by dozens of meters of high walls, and ancient high-rise buildings everywhere, making this alley even more gloomy.
At the end of the alley, there is a dead end, in front of me is a pitch-black wall, the surroundings are so quiet that it is outrageous, a breeze blowing, it can't help but send chills down people's spines, such a place, not to mention a human figure, not even a ghost, if it is not for the moon to lead the way, let alone Yang Yunxiao and Shentu Liming, I am afraid that no one will find such a place in Demon Moon City.
When he walked to the end of the alley, at this time Shentu Liming found that there was a tiled house here, this tiled house was very dilapidated, and the door was covered by a rotten wooden door, and with a gust of wind blowing, the wooden door made a creaking sound, as if it could be blown down at any time.
On the top of the tiled house, there is an old and broken wooden plaque, I don't know how many years have not been cleaned, it is covered with dust, hung with cobwebs, although the wooden plaque has been severely corroded, but you can still faintly see the word "month" written on the wooden plaque.
"It's... This is the Moon Family? "Shen Tu Liming couldn't help but feel a little creepy when he saw such a dark and dilapidated tiled house, and he always felt that there was something cold behind him, because it was so quiet here, so quiet that it was a little weird, which formed a great contrast with the lively Demon Moon City.
"It's still the same." Yang Yunxiao was relaxed, and did not feel that there was anything wrong, and even laughed a little happily.
Yue Wuji stepped forward, opened the tattered wooden door, and walked in directly, Yang Yunxiao also took three steps and quickly entered the tiled house.
In such an environment, where did Shentu Liming dare to fall behind, and hurriedly followed, even if his strength was very strong, but in this kind of place, it always gave people a terrifying spiritual impact.
In the tiled house, there was no light, no lighting, everything was very dark, and there was nothing in the room except a cupboard, a table, and two chairs.
On the wall at the other end of the room, there seemed to be a door-shaped outline, like a secret door, but it was not known where it led.
At the front of the cabinet, there sat an old man in a gray robe, he sat there, his eyes closed, motionless, no breath at all, the whole person was very thin, his skin was shriveled, like a dried corpse, if he didn't pay attention, anyone would be startled by him.
The old man's eye sockets were sunken in his sockets, his hair was messy, and he sat quietly in front of the cupboard, indistinguishable from a dead man.
"Ancestor, he's here." At this time, Yue Wuji walked in front of the old man, bowed slightly, and said respectfully.
After Yue Wuji finished speaking, he took the initiative to stand aside, his arms folded, not talking, and stood there like a fossil.
At this moment, Yang Yunxiao was not outside, he sat directly on the chair, put one hand on the table, and the whole person sat there.
Such a scene made Shentu Liming feel very weird, if it weren't for Yang Yunxiao's presence, he would even think that this was a place where ghosts lived.
"When-when-when-"
At this time, Yang Yunxiao gently tapped the table with his knuckles, the rhythm was gentle, and the charm was long, like a beautiful piece of music.
When Yang Yunxiao struck the twenty-eighth stroke, he suddenly stopped tapping, and at the same time, the old man slowly moved his body, and a sound of bones followed, and he didn't know how long the old man hadn't moved.
After a while, the old man slowly opened his eyes, and as soon as his eyes opened, he couldn't help but startle Shentu Liming, where are these human eyes! There is hardly much black in these eyes, white occupies most of it, and from time to time there is a green glow, like a demon, such a picture is too weird!
"Old man Yue, don't pretend to be dead, it's rare for me to come once." Yang Yun said leisurely.
"What's the matter—" At this time, the old man spoke, and his voice was like that of a ghost, low in tone and extremely long, like the mournful cry of a demon about to die in hell, such a terrible sound, such a strange appearance, making people feel that the old man was not a living person at all.
"I'm here to find the Key to Transgression, I want to borrow your Immortal Dao Piano, and in addition, I want an immortal tree." Yang Yun said leisurely.
The old man just glanced at Yang Yunxiao and said slowly, "What do you want to exchange?" ”
Hearing this, Yang Yunxiao shook his head and said, "I understand the rules, but it's all come to this point, so there's no need for this, right?" ”
At this moment, hearing Yang Yunxiao's words, the old man instantly raised his head, and looked at Yang Yunxiao's eyes with a very terrifying light, like a divine light that was enough to open the world, extremely sharp, and seemed to be able to cut through everything in time!
Under the impact of such a gaze, Shentu Liming was so shocked by this momentum that he retreated several steps before he could barely stand firm, his Taoism was already considered a strong person in the cultivation world, but under the gaze of this old man, he only felt that he was like an ant, and he couldn't even raise the heart to resist.
At this time, Shen Tu Liming couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and he realized that the old man in front of him was a strong man who was shocking to the world, and it was definitely not something he could easily guess.
This also made Shentu Liming even more curious about Yang Yunxiao, and it was hard for him to imagine how virtuous and capable a superior heavenly sage could actually sit on an equal footing with such a supreme powerhouse and talk indifferently.
"No—" At this time, the old man had already withdrawn his prestige, and resolutely expressed his attitude.
