36. The past

The old man's words were like a thunderbolt, and suddenly slashed at Chen Feng's body.

In the past, he used to be a platinum tattoo level cultivator, but now he is a rickety old man in a farmhouse on the outskirts of Dragon City.

The gap between the front and back is so great that anyone who hears the old man's account will feel incredible.

At this time, Wang Qingshi walked out of the house, holding two cups of tea, and said with a smile, "What are you talking about?"

Chen Feng's face was stunned, he stared at the old man, trying to find out a little bit of the shadow of the platinum tattooed Yao powerhouse from him, but he didn't find it, no matter from any aspect. The old man seemed to have changed into a different person, there was no pulse energy in his body, his back was like a boiled shrimp, his face was full of folds, and he had to stop for a moment to say a long paragraph, which was a world away from a tattooed cultivator.

Chen Feng felt that his mouth was dry, he took the teacup and drank it all, and said to Wang Qingshi, "A platinum-tattooed powerhouse is standing in front of you. ”

Wang Qingshi thought that Chen Feng was teasing her again, so she gently hammered him and said, "It seems that it was a wrong choice not to give you medicine today, and it almost scared the old man." ”

The old man sat down on the rock, laughing, and his voice was quite hearty, and he said, "You should put the word "was" in front of it. ”

After the old man's explanation, Wang Qingshi's beautiful eyes instantly widened, she covered the cherry mouth with both hands, and looked at the old man's eyes full of doubts.

"Haha, that's what happened to me, and if I hadn't met you two, I wouldn't have brought it up again. The old man lit the dry tobacco again, and smoked it again.

Chen Feng was puzzled, and he asked, "Isn't there anyone who has ever borrowed a farmhouse before us?"

The old man explained, "There have been before, but it doesn't make me feel as strange as you, and it's because of you that I bring up the past again." ”

"Me?"

"Yes, it's you!" the old man paused, stared at Chen Feng tightly with a cloudy gaze, and said, "Yesterday you came to my farmhouse to borrow, did you suffer great physical trauma, the kind of serious injuries that are almost impossible to reach?"

Chen Feng felt very uncomfortable being stared at by the old man, as if he was being stared at by an old beast. He moved the stool, thought for a moment, and then said, "Yes, the junior came to the farmhouse yesterday to spend the night, and it was indeed because he was seriously injured, and he had to come to disturb the old man. ”

"Haha, what kind of bother, I've lived for so many years as an old man, and I haven't seen anything. The old man smiled and waved his hand.

Moreover, the old man began to confess, as if telling a story, telling Chen Feng and them what he experienced back then.

"A few decades ago, there were only nine major forces in Dragon City, and that Dragon City Mercenary Group was a neutral force that later settled in Dragon City, and I was a mercenary in the Dragon City Mercenary Group. ”

"At that time, in order to squeeze into Dragon City, the mercenary group did whatever it takes, and even fought with the five major families and the four major sects for a few days and nights, and finally succeeded in entering Dragon City, but the difficulties experienced by ordinary people are unimaginable. Regarding some interest issues, they have not been completely resolved until now, for example, the Lan family represented by the token on your waist has always been unable to get along with the mercenary group, which can be regarded as a feud. ”

After being reminded by the old man, Chen Feng realized that he had forgotten to take off the token he had hung on his waist when he went out of the city. So he immediately took off the token and stuffed it into his arms, and showed a look of displeasure to the old man.

The old man waved his hand and continued.

"It's okay, these are things of the past, and now I'm just a bad old man waiting to die on the outskirts of Dragon City. ”

Chen Feng answered, "Could it be that you were influenced by the years before you became what you are now?"

"Haha, this matter may have something to do with what you're going to do now!"

"It has something to do with what I'm about to do, why is it related to me again?" Chen Feng asked.

The old man took a few puffs of dry tobacco, looked at the green mountains in the distance, and said, "To be precise, you took the initiative to get involved in this matter, and even came all the way to Dragon City for this reason. ”

After being reminded by the old man like this, Chen Feng finally understood what the old man was referring to, and he chose to remain silent.

Chen Feng secretly said in his heart, if my predecessors became the same field because of this incident, then my trip was not extremely dangerous?

Wang Qingshi was simple-minded, she didn't understand what dumb riddles Chen Feng and the old man were playing, so she asked, "What are you talking about?"

The old man looked at Wang Qingshi's lovely face, smiled dotingly, and said, "Are you here for the ancient tomb of the Heaven Breaking Sword Emperor?"

"That's right, old man, are you because the ancient tomb has become like this, but hasn't the ancient tomb been found in recent months?" Wang Qingshi continued to ask.

The sunset almost completely set, the red glow on the horizon gradually converged, the sky slowly darkened, and Chen Feng and the three of them were still sitting in the courtyard, but they didn't know how many cups of tea they had changed.

The old man continued to answer the two questions.

"Back then, the Dragon City mercenary group entered Dragon City because of the ancient tomb of the Breaking Heaven Sword Emperor, because at that time, the ancient tomb of the Breaking Heaven Sword Emperor had already been born, but the news was blocked by several major forces in Dragon City. However, the power of our mercenary group is all over the entire Yuanyang realm, and if we want to get any news, how can it be blocked by the few major families in Dragon City!"

"However, back then, no one knew how to crack the ancient tomb of the Heaven Breaking Sword Emperor, so several major forces selected candidates to form a team of exploration teams, wanting to crack the ancient tomb of the Heaven Breaking Sword Emperor, but they didn't expect that this decision would cause a large number of tattooed cultivators to die in vain in the ancient tomb of the Heaven Breaking Sword Emperor. ”

Chen Feng grasped a key point, and he asked, "Senior, are you a member of that exploration team?"

"Hehe, if I were one of them, how could I sit here and tell you stories?" the old man smiled kindly.

So, Chen Feng kept silent, for fear that he would interrupt the old man's train of thought.

"What a heroic figure the Heaven Breaking Sword Emperor is, more than a thousand years ago, he was invincible in the realm of Yuan Yang, if it weren't for the way of the sword, with the emperor as his respect, he would definitely not be only called the Sword Emperor, even if it was the emperor of the whole world, no one dared to stand up and say half a word. But when he stormed the Heavenly Realm, he fell inexplicably, and left a tomb behind. ”

"Back then, some of our mercenary group came to Dragon City to compete for a place in order to get the relics in the ancient tomb of the Heaven Breaking Sword Emperor, although they fought for the right to compete for the Heaven Breaking Sword Emperor, but they paid a heavy price. ”

"The mercenary group has killed a large number of cultivators of the Golden Tattoo Yao and Platinum Tattoo Yao realms, and the nine major forces in Dragon City have become even more green because of that incident, the high strength has the platinum Wenyao level, and the weak ones are only the bronze level, for example, the disciples of the Divine Fist Sect you killed two days ago are only at the bronze level. ”

Chen Feng nodded silently, why Xiao Zhang only had the strength of the bronze tattoo level, but he could burst out with such a powerful power, this question was not really known until today.

The old man stopped and took a sip of tea, and said, "I didn't expect that in the past few decades, neither the mercenary group nor the nine major forces of Dragon City have dispelled the idea of opening the Ancient Tomb of the Heaven Breaking Sword Emperor, and even a few months ago, the old man of the Lan family finally found a way to crack it. ”

"But I'm sure he's only found a way to crack it, and if he really wants to enter the ancient tomb, there will definitely be many, many people who will die. ”

Chen Feng held his chin and nodded involuntarily.

However, Wang Qingshi found the original purpose of this story, she said, "Could it be that old man, you are telling us this, just so that we don't go to the ancient tomb?"

"Haha, of course my purpose is not here, telling you about the Ancient Tomb of the Heaven Breaking Sword Emperor is just an introduction, my real purpose is actually to know the reason why this little doll was so badly injured, but it was able to recover overnight. The old man laughed.

This smile made Chen Feng feel that he had been deceived, if it wasn't for Wang Qingshi's sudden question, he probably wouldn't have understood the old man's true intentions.

"Senior, I can't tell you about this matter. Chen Feng said solemnly.

The old man seemed to have expected Chen Feng to say this, and said with a smile, "I know what you mean, but I haven't finished my words yet." ”

"You must have an extremely strong pulse recovery technique, this is a personal secret, I naturally won't ask about it, but this is probably the biggest barrier for you to protect yourself after entering the ancient tomb, maybe a cultivator like you who has extremely strong life-saving means can get a chance in the ancient tomb of the Heaven Breaking Sword Emperor. ”

Chen Feng disagreed with the old man's statement, and said, "If you have the strength of the Platinum Tattoo Yao, you can't enter the Heaven Breaking Sword Emperor Ancient Tomb, why are you so sure that I can enter the Ancient Tomb and get the opportunity?"

"Because the realm of the cultivators is different, the abilities they possess are different. ”

"The Bronze Pattern Realm can only be regarded as entering the world of cultivation, and when you reach the Silver Realm, you can be called a demon hero, and you can have up to nine Patterns at the same time. However, when it comes to the Golden Tattoo Realm, cultivators begin to pay attention to themselves, and the powerful Golden Tattoo cultivators can be reborn with severed limbs, as long as their heads are not shattered and their hearts are not taken out, they can rely on their own strength to repair their wounded bodies. As for the platinum tattoo above, it can almost move mountains and reclaim the sea, and the means can reach the sky, but this is also the key to why I am sitting here and telling you a story!"

The old man said let's talk about it, he paused for a moment again, and continued, "Above the Platinum Tattoo Yao Realm, the strength is too strong, so no one will attach as much importance to themselves as the Golden Realm, thinking that as long as they don't get pierced through their hearts and heads, they can be reborn, but in the Heaven-Breaking Sword Emperor Tomb, all this has come to naught, it is full of sword light and sword shadows, and the sword qi like the cold ice of the extreme north is like a wolf and a tiger, casually stabbing the cultivator, it is enough to make it fall." ”

"Back then, I was stabbed by a sword qi, and I was able to survive by replacing my life with tattoos. ”
