Chapter 20 The sudden change of the situation

I quickly stood up, bowed deeply to this old man Hong, and said.

"The younger generation thinks that if you want to find something, you have to start with you..."

"Alas... Sit down, sit down."

The black-robed old man waved his hand, and suddenly an invisible force pushed me to the stool.

Before I could be amazed, the old man said.

"Anyway, my life is not long, so what's the point of telling you..."

After speaking, the old man fiddled with the tea set, and then spoke to me.

"Your grandfather should be Lin Changhe."

My face changed all of a sudden, and the old man in front of me, who only had a relationship with me, actually knew that I was in the name of my grandfather.

"Yes..."

I replied tremblingly.

At this moment, the white stick pinned to our waist suddenly began to shake violently, and even made my waist shake painful.

"Take it out"

The old man must have noticed the problem and said to me.

I took the stick in one hand and placed it on the table.

Before I could react, the old man grabbed my hand.

I was shocked, it was not this old man who wanted to kill me.

But I really overestimated my own ability, I couldn't move after the old man grabbed my wrist, but fortunately I caught the arm that I didn't break.

"Don't move"

The old man looked at the stick and said to me.

I thought about it, and it didn't look like this old man was trying to kill me, but if he wanted to kill me, he couldn't talk nonsense with me.

I simply didn't move, and quietly watched the old man what he wanted to do.

I saw that the old man used his other hand to conjure a black dagger out of thin air, and slid down my fingers.

I thought the old man was going to cut off my fingers, so I closed my eyes tightly and didn't dare to look at them again.

But the old man only cut my finger, and a drop of blood came from the wound and landed right on the stick.

I wanted to see what Qian Xiaozhen was doing, and when I turned my head, he had already closed his eyes, and when I called him, he didn't speak.

"I've blocked him, and I hope the next conversation is only for the two of us"

It turned out to be the case, and then I realized how naïve the idea of resisting just now was, and if I guessed correctly, this old man could crush me to death with his fingers.

Then the old man let go of his grip on me and looked down at the white stick.

I also followed the old man's gaze, and I don't know when, that drop of blood has completely penetrated into the stick, which is very magical.

"If I remember correctly, this knife is your grandfather's natal weapon"

Isn't my grandfather just a farmer, and he still knows such a powerful old man in black robes?

When I asked my question, the old man seemed a little hesitant, as if he was choosing whether to tell me or not.

With a deep sigh, the old man said.

"Your grandfather was a stormy figure in the rivers and lakes back then~"

Halfway through the words, the old man stopped talking, only said this sentence, and I was half dead in a hurry.

"Senior, tell me"

I stood up sincerely and bowed to the old man again.

This time the old man did not use that great force to push me back to the stool, but said with a little regret.

"Child, it's not that I don't tell you something, but you have to find the answer yourself..."

I didn't understand it, but the old man understood it very well

"And the stick?"

I sat down again and asked again

"It's not just a nice stick, it's a knife"

"I just woke him up with your blood, but it takes a moment to really use him"

"Then you will know the true meaning of this knife"

I reached out and touched the stick, but nothing changed except that it was getting colder.

"Senior, can you tell me about this village now?"

The old man seemed to have known that I would ask this, so he waved his hand with relief, and then looked at Qian Xiaozhen, as if he was deprived of oxygen, opened his eyes violently, and took a big breath of the air around him.

He also looked at me strangely, and then at the old man in front of him, as if he knew something.

"Listen, I'll just say it once"

I hurriedly helped Qian Xiaozhen and told him to listen attentively.

"You guessed it right, I'm a wizard of the Demon Realm, but 400 years ago, the Demon Realm was renewed and the internal reshuffle"

"The newly appointed demon lord relies on his powerful cultivation to oppress the people and cause chaos in the demon world"

Speaking of this, the old man sighed.

"I couldn't stand the violence of this demon lord, so I fled to this world"

"After the demon lord found out, he remembered the old love in the past, and did not kill me, but used the secret method of the demon world to ban me in this village forever, and I am a person in the demon world after all, I can only use most of my cultivation to seal the mouths of the villagers, so that they can't speak, and they can't reveal the secrets here."

"But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the secrets here have also reached the ears of the ghost king, so the ghost king asked his centurion to come and arrest me and go back to be their military."

After saying so many words in one breath, I felt that the old man's face was not good, and he coughed a few times.

After going through so much, I am no longer averse to new things, and it has become easier to accept them, so this time I also understood what the old man said.

"I said why is that man so strong, it turned out to be the centurion of the Ghost King..."

I muttered to myself.

Looking up at the old man again, his eyes were closed, and his hands were constantly pinching something.

After a while, he slowly opened his eyes, and then spat out a mouthful of muffled blood.

I felt like I was holding him up.

"Oh, I'm old..."

He waved his hand at me, meaning out of the way.

"Kid, I just got a trigram... Your ghost king may not be the real ghost king..."

I was stunned for a moment, Ghost King? The ghost king who controls us to make games? It's not really a ghost king yet.

The old man seemed to know what I was thinking, staggered to his feet, and said to me.

"Go with the flow"

I was a little uncomfortable to hear so many things that subverted my three views at once, and my brain hurt.

Since the appearance of the Ghost King, I have begun to come into contact with new things that ordinary people can't touch, aura, ghost world, demon world, ghost king...

There were also a series of amazing things happening around me that I didn't expect, and I really felt that I was just the tip of the iceberg of the whole world, and there were many things waiting for me to explore that I had never seen before.

I looked at the old man again, and he was looking out the window at the peaks, not knowing what he was thinking.

......

"Let's go, they're coming."

The old man suddenly came to say this, which made me a little confused

Who are they? Why are you here, could it be those villagers?

Thinking about it, the sky suddenly changed, the sun was still scorching just now, and now it was full of clouds, as if it was going to rain at any time.

But the old man still stood indifferently by the window, motionless.

I always felt that danger was coming, so I felt like I took back the stick on the table and stood up with Qian Xiaozhen.

Maybe that's the calm before the storm...
