Chapter Twenty-Four: The Mysterious Old Man

The purpose of Su Chen's group's training this time was a mountain range that was not too far from Xiyun City.

This mountain is called the Heixi Mountain Range, which covers a small area, and there are many low-level demon beasts living on the periphery, most of which are scattered, and few demon beasts will appear in groups, which is the first choice for new students of Longxi Academy to practice.

There is a small town not far from the mountain range, the name of this town is no longer exquisite, but now it is called Black Creek Town, because the low-level martial artists in the vicinity have been training in the mountains for many years, and over time, there are a few businessmen to operate here, and it has slowly developed to the scale of a town.

The town is very prosperous, but it lacks many essential daily necessities, and instead is a patchwork of pills and refining shops.

There are scattered stalls everywhere on the street, all of which are one-time consumables and the fur of demon beasts, and the stall owners do not shout, and they sit on the ground with fierce spirits, most of them are big men with tigers and bears, where they look like businessmen.

At this time, the eyes of these big men lingered on the four beautiful girls in front of them, these four girls were Long Ke and others, and the group of Kimura teenagers who followed behind were completely ignored by the group of sturdy "traders".

The four of Long Ke were stared at by those big men, but they didn't have a good seizure, and they stomped with small steps with a small face and walked all the way towards the place where they landed

"Let's go ahead and rest for the night, and we'll leave tomorrow morning." After Tang Xuecheng, the girl in red, left the sight of those annoying flies, she looked unusually lively, smiling at the teenagers, with a shallow dimple on her face, which was very good-looking.

looked at the girl in red who was already running in front of her, but the back became more and more familiar the more you looked at it.

"Do you think this girl seems to have seen her before?" said one of them, confused.

"You feel that way, too?"

"Little Tang girl?" the group called out in unison.

"Ah, what's the matter?" the girl turned her head, her big eyes scanning the group.

"Do you have any sisters?" Wang Man asked, rubbing his hands, that obscene appearance was really hard to describe.

Ye Guo hurriedly pushed him aside, "Miss Snow Orange, do you have a sister named Tang Yunxi?"

"Tang Yunxi?" the girl wondered.

The teenagers looked at each other, so they didn't know each other.

"Oh~ yes, yes, it's my sister, what's wrong, have you seen her?when? Did she mention me?" The girl Tang Xuecheng seemed to remember something, and suddenly a string of questions crackled and poured out, deliberately diverting the attention of the teenagers.

"We went to the training together a year ago, and she is a very kind-hearted girl. Su Chen said with a smile.

"Thank you", the girl smiled sweetly, and walked in front alone, looking preoccupied.

The group glanced at each other, and it seemed that the two sisters had a story......

The moon at night is like a jade plate sprinkled with cold brilliance, quietly hanging in the dark sky and stars.

It was late at night, and everyone was resting.

Not far from the town, there was a faint figure rushing towards the Black Creek Mountains in the moonlight.

The hazy moonlight sprinkled on the man's clothes, and the weak light could not illuminate the man's face, and he could barely recognize that the man was a man.

From the town to the entrance of the Heixi Mountain Range, the footsteps of an ordinary martial artist for an hour, this person only took dozens of breaths to arrive, stopped at this time, and stood calmly on the side, white clothes are better than snow, and the abundance is beautiful, it turned out to be Su Chen.

He didn't speak, but stood quietly beside a large tree, his eyes narrowing slightly, looking at the tree.

As his gaze slowly retracted, an old man appeared here out of thin air, also dressed in white, with a beard and a faint layer of mist on his body, faintly, there was a bit of an illusory feeling.

"Is there something wrong?" Su Chen spoke.

"How are you practicing?" the old man's voice was a little hollow, and he always had a very strange feeling.

"It's still in the second stage, did you spend a lot of effort to make a doppelganger projection just to ask this?" Su Chen pursed his lips, still looking faint.

"From the very beginning, I felt that your road would not work, since you insisted on doing so, okay! At your request, I sent you to Kimura, for more than ten years, you have not even entered the country at all, and your own road has not been straightened, and you dare to take Zhou Chongyan, Wang Manzi, the sons and nephews of these bastard old things?"

"What do you want to do, tell me? If you try to tread on the road to heaven alone, and if you succeed, your fame will be passed down through the ages! If you fail, you will die and die! Okay, I have no objection, and it is up to you to live or die! But you have brought all these peerless teenagers to mess around with you? Is this your hope to be broken?"

The old man's voice gradually gained some popularity, and as he spoke more and more excitedly, his voice became more and more indistinct, as if the space around him became disordered with his agitated mood.

In the end, he simply said to Su Chen, "The corner of heaven they saw may not be a corner after being blinded, anyway, I will never agree, you come back immediately." ”

Su Chen's right palm was weakly grasped, slowly raised, and stopped in front of his chest, a thick white mist in his palm slowly condensed and escaped, he stared at the white mist in his palm, his eyes flashed a smile, and said lightly, "Why are you still like this." ”

The old man snorted, "You haven't made any progress in your cultivation for ten years, so how can I believe you again, and time won't wait for you to cultivate slowly?"

Su Chen played with the mist in his hand and said, "People in the world practice and practice, in the end, which one is not a million corpses in front of him, and the extinguishing of cultivation is also those meaningless disputes. In the past ten years, I have experienced every bit of growth in my body, and I feel that strength and cultivation do not seem to be so important. ”

The old man's eyes widened, "Senseless dispute......?

Su Chen still said to himself, "In the past ten years, I have fallen in love with reading, and there are many interesting things in this book, and I have learned many things that I couldn't understand and touch at all. Thinking about many truths that we have always assumed. ”

The old man snorted coldly, wanting to hear what Su Chen wanted to say.

"People in the world are respected by martial arts, and it is martial arts rather than people, no matter how majestic the strong and powerful, what people worship is the power they have, but the key to the problem lies in this power. ”

"As I browse more and more books, I can't help but think, how did this power come about? Who will be the first person to have power, or to teach it? Are we cultivating our own power or the power of others?"

The old man pointed with both hands, and a cold light passed through Su Chen's ears and temples, cutting off a piece of green silk.

"Tell me whose power it is. ”

Su Chen waved his hand, and the green silk that had been cut off and fell to the ground slowly floated up, and finally firmly connected to the position that had just been cut off by the old man, "You see, in fact, this power is not as strong as you think." ”

A glimmer of divine light suddenly flashed in the depths of the old man's wooden eyes, and then turned back to the color of the wooden one just now.

"Oh, it's the deity who came, and you're acting more and more unscrupulously. Su Chen caught the old man's expression, lightly broke it, completely ignoring the old man's shocked look, and said quietly.

"The power you cultivate by yourself is naturally your own, but where does it come from and where does it come from?"

"Hmph, from me, to me. ”

"No, it comes from heaven and earth and returns to heaven and earth, that is, in the end, we get nothing. Su Chen looked at the old man quietly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was so annoying in the old man's eyes.

"Where did you come from so many ideas, practicing well, that is, since you have cultivated that exercise, maybe you are destined to embark on that heavenly path, life and death are fate, I won't stop you, it's just that those talented children, who have been sealed since birth, are not for you to jump into the fire pit. ”

"They have found their own way, and now I can't change anything, besides, don't you think that the heavenly machine has been blinded, since they have been deceived, then this group of people is naturally irrelevant, young people jump a lot, there is nothing bad. The old man was so angry that he glared at him, but it wasn't over yet, and the next sentence was even more ......

"I haven't practiced yet. The smile on the corner of the young man's mouth became even stronger.

At this time, the old man finally lost his temper, and his aura around him was disordered, as if he was about to collapse into a void, "What! Then when I just asked you about your cultivation, what !! the second stage you said?"

"Don't get excited, I didn't lie to you, that's naturally my power. ”

The tumbling mist in the young man's hand became even thicker, and a trace of escaping breath gently drifted out, but it set off boundless waves in the heart of the mysterious old man.

In the night sky, the moon with the beautiful outline of the jade plate slowly sank, and the hazy moonlight surrounded the night dew, accompanied by the figure of the old man slowly disappearing, and a long sigh of the old man came from the sky.

"It's not going to end well if you do that...... That's it, you're doing it yourself. ”

"If you don't do it, how will you know the result? The young man's deep voice quietly disappeared into the night.
