Chapter 174: Strange Old Man
Just three years ago, after the loud bang in the Yin Wind Ridge, it didn't take long for Golden Leaf Village to be slaughtered by the Immortal Realm overnight.
As for the reason, it has to be shocking, it is actually Chu Yan, it is precisely because of his performance in the Yin Wind Ridge that he angered the Emperor of Heaven and harmed nearly a hundred innocent lives in Jinye Village.
At that time, there were a total of thirty people in the immortal realm, who followed Chu Yan into the Yin Wind Ridge, but except for Wutian, everyone else died inside, and the countless magic weapons had already turned into dust all over the ground.
When the Emperor of Heaven learned the news, he was furious and ordered the execution of all those who had anything to do with Chu Yan, and in this way, Jinye Village was implicated and the whole village was slaughtered.
Now more than three years have passed, and Jinye Village has become a huge cemetery, although it is the early spring, it is the season of recovery and vitality, but there is no life here, as if there is a strong resentment around, gusts of breeze blowing, like a ghost crying, chilling.
"Husband......
Seeing Chu Yan's pain and self-blame, Su You took his arm and said softly: "Don't be sad anymore, if you want to blame those bastards in the fairy world, they are simply not human, and they actually killed the villagers here." ”
Chu Yan didn't say anything, just looked at everything in front of him, and after a long time, his body bowed deeply, and two lines of tears slowly fell......
Leaving Jinye Village, the two walked on the country road, and slowly, they finally saw those simple and honest countrymen working hard in the fields.
But when these people saw Chu Yan and Su You, they all looked shocked, because the two of them were brightly dressed, and they knew at a glance that they were not ordinary people, and I am afraid that even if it was the entire Fallen Leaf Town, they would find one.
Towards noon, the two of them came to the town, which was much more lively in comparison, and the shops on the street were decent. The two of them found a tavern and walked in.
"Yo...... Two guest officers, please come inside. ”
The guy is very brisk, plus the two of them have an extraordinary bearing. worked even harder, for fear of offending them.
Business in the tavern was very good, and the first floor was already full, so the man led the two of them to the window position on the second floor.
The two sat opposite each other and ordered a few side dishes and a pot of wine. Seeing that Chu Yan was still sullen, Su You smiled, "Husband, you have lived here for four years, I don't know if there is anything fun?"
"Fun place?" Chu Yan smiled bitterly: "This is not comparable to a prosperous town like Yanhuang City, the common people have worked hard for a year, it would be good to be able to eat, when I was young, I often had no food, how could I have the leisure to go out to play." ”
"I see...... Su You nodded, as if a little disappointed. "Forget it, let's leave after dinner. ”
While chatting and drinking, coupled with the beauty of the country opposite, Chu Yan's mood slowly improved, but at this moment, the street suddenly became commotionous, and many people rushed to the street, not knowing what was going on.
See here. Su You and Chu Yan glanced at each other, and they both saw the curiosity in each other's eyes, so they dropped a gold coin and walked out of the tavern. Go straight to the street.
At this time, there were already a lot of people watching the excitement here, Chu Yan and Su You hid in the crowd, and saw an old man in rags and dirty face, holding a handful of rusts in his hand. The dull broken sword seemed to have a smug look on his face, giving people the feeling that it was a peerless divine weapon in his hand.
On the opposite side of the old man were several young men, each holding a weapon in his hand, staring at him, and brightly dressed, looking like the rich boy of the town.
"See, Lu Gongzi and they are here again, I don't know if they can win today?"
"No, it's the third day, but it's strange to say, the broken sword in the old man's hand, I don't know where it came from, it's so sharp, Lu Gongzi and they have damaged a lot of weapons in the past few days. ”
Listening to the whispers of the two people around them, Chu Yan and Su You frowned at the same time, and couldn't help but look at the broken sword in the old man's hand again, but with the experience and knowledge of the two of them, they couldn't see anything special at all, and it was estimated that even if they were lost on the side of the road, I am afraid that no one would pick it up.
"What, how many of you little ghosts are here again?" At this time, the old man opened his mouth and glanced at a few young people opposite, "Okay, it's okay anyway, did you bring the gold coins?"
"Stinky food, you are not so proud. The young man at the head was that Young Master Lu, and he pouted his lips disdainfully: "Today, Young Master Ben has brought the ancestral sword, and he will definitely be able to return triumphantly." ”
"Yes, yes, our Lu Gongzi's family has a deep heritage, and we will definitely win today. ”
"Isn't it, even the Chen family and the Dusk family in Yanhuang City are probably much inferior to our Lu Gongzi's family. ”
The young people around him were flattering, and their work was really good.
When Su You heard this, he immediately hid his face and smiled, as for Chu Yan, he also shook his head with a wry smile, and said in his heart that these stunned youths, if they were bumped into by Dusk Chen, they would have to shoot them to death.
"Why do you talk so much nonsense. The old man looked impatient, "Did you bring the gold coins?"
"Brought, brought......"
Each of these young men took out a bag of gold coins and threw them on the ground, seeing this, the old man immediately smiled, casually put the broken sword in his hand to the ground, and then went straight to the gold coin.
A stunned scene appeared, only to see that the rusty, dull sword body actually pierced through the hard stone slab and plunged into the ground, which made Chu Yan and Su You shocked again.
"Sure enough, it's a master......"
At this time, Yue Wuji's voice sounded in Chu Yan's ears, "Brother, have you noticed that there are a lot of runes engraved on the body of this sword?"
"Is there one?"
Chu Yan muttered, carefully looked at the half of the sword body exposed to the ground again, and looked at it for a long time through the dazzling sunlight before Chu Yan nodded, "It seems to be, but I can't see what shape it is." ”
"That's supposed to be the Vajra rune. ”
"Steel Rune...... What's that?"
Hearing Chu Yan ask, Yue Wuqian thought about it for a while before continuing to speak.
Runes are an ancient secret art, varied, strange, mysterious and powerful, and those who can master this secret art are called rune masters.
The rune master is divided into nine levels, and the means of the nine-grade great rune master, with the earth-shattering power of the rune alone, can be completely comparable to the powerhouse of the god realm, but this secret art has been lost for a long time, so the shadow of the rune master is almost invisible on the current Fighting Spirit Continent.
"It's like the diamond rune on this broken sword......"
After a pause, Yue Wujian continued: "This kind of rune can strengthen the hardness of this sword, if it is from the hand of a great rune master, even if it is a weapon made by Shen Yu, it is not easy to cut off this sword." ”
"What...... So powerful?" Chu Yan's heart sank, he didn't expect that the small rune would have such a domineering power.
"Yue'er, you know so much about runes, are you a rune master?"
"Brother, I'm not that good. Yue Wuqian couldn't help but laugh and said: "The rune master not only cultivates profoundly, but also needs unimaginable mental power for ordinary people, so that he can exert the power of runes, just like this old man, it is estimated that he should already be a master of the reincarnation realm, a five-grade rune master." ”
"It should be the Reincarnation Realm?" Chu Yan frowned, "Yue'er, what do you mean by this?"
He really couldn't understand that Yue Wuji, who had always been excellent in strength and strong in divine sense, had times when he couldn't figure it out.
"Brother, you don't know something, because the rune master's strong spiritual power itself has the effect of isolating people's divine consciousness, this is still the old man's inadvertent situation, if he deliberately wants to hide his cultivation, I'm afraid I can't see it. ”
In this way, Chu Yan was even more shocked, he didn't expect the strength of the rune master to be so strong, and at the same time, he had already made up his mind that this old man must be used for his own purposes.
Just as Chu Yan and Yue Wujian were talking, several young people led by Lu Gongzi pulled out their powerful weapons one after another, and then used all the strength of their bodies to drape them fiercely on the shabby sword body.
But without exception, as soon as the two came into contact, the weapons in the young man's hands immediately broke off without any delay.
The old man didn't even look at it, but counted the gold coins in his hand, and from time to time he would take out one, blow it, and then hurriedly put it to his ear.
Listening to the "buzzing" sound, the old man grinned, revealing his teeth that were yellower than gold coins, and there were some things he had eaten sticking to them, which was disgusting to look at.
"Stinky food, you fool. ”
Seeing that the ancestral treasure stolen from the house had been broken into two, the son surnamed Lu suddenly became angry, and grabbed the old man's collar, "Tell me quickly, did you use the demon method above to deceive us with so many gold coins?"
"This son, why are you talking like that?" the old man's eyes were full of surprise, "So many people are watching, what kind of demon method does the old man use?
"you, you stinky begging for food. ”
As he spoke, Lu Gongzi raised his leg and kicked it straight to the old man's small belly, only to see the old man stumbling and falling to the ground, leaning on his body, covering his stomach, wailing in pain, and his mouth was still vibrating.
"You ...... You don't admit that you lost, and you hurt people, eh...... It hurts me to death......"
Looking at the old man rolling on the ground with a headache, many people around him who were watching the excitement were full of sympathy and whispered one after another.
Seeing this, Chu Yan shook his head with a smile, because he had just seen clearly that at the critical moment, the old man dodged, and only the robe on his body was kicked.
But this old guy's acting skills really don't have to be said, if he hadn't seen through all this in advance, Chu Yan would have really been deceived like everyone else. (To be continued.) )
