Chapter 138: A Dead Man (2)
Qiu Fang's expression froze, and he quietly looked around with empty eyes, but he still couldn't see the figure of the person who spoke out, so he had to pout and say helplessly, "How do seniors call themselves like this."
When the other party heard this, he chuckled coldly, and then, in the mirror image of the infinite loop of the bamboo house, he suddenly fell into a deep dead silence.
Seeing that the other party was silent, Qiu Fang didn't dare to open his mouth again, he couldn't detect the other party's breath at all, he only knew his voice, and it was difficult to distinguish his position. What's more, not only himself, but he even faintly felt that Ah Yu in his body was also observing the surroundings calmly, because she didn't know the depth of the other party at all.
Qiu Fang knew that although there would not be a burst of infinite oppression brought by the strongest people around him, since the other party could talk to him, he couldn't perceive where the other party was, which in itself was a kind of gap in strength.
Qiu Fang swallowed, he was still waiting, waiting for the other party to speak.
After a moment of silence, the man slowly spoke, "How many years has it been today?"
His tone was leisurely and long, as if he had just woken up from a big dream.
Qiu Fang's lips moved a few times: "Xia Li... Six hundred and ninety-six years."
Although he couldn't see the other party, Qiu Fang clearly felt that as his words fell, the other party's emotions sank for a while, and this kaleidoscopic mirror world trembled slightly, Qiu Fang couldn't help but raise his sword and point his sword vigilantly, ready to go.
And the little gluttonous snake in the palm of his left hand "hissed" a few times, twisting its small body as it spoke, as if it was not infected by Qiu Fang's heavy thoughts, but was very happy. Five
Seeing this, the other party actually laughed lowly, and did not mention his identity, but quipped, "The little snake has children."
Qiu Fang was stunned when he heard this, he thought that the other party was saying that the little gluttonous snake in his hand had a child, so he explained: "This is the little gluttonous snake born by the snake king, it has just been born and has no children."
The other party was also stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed loudly: "Hahaha, this little snake is not the other little snake, the little snake I am talking about is not a small thing in your hand."
Seeing that the other party's mood was a little happier, Qiu Fang also breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "Senior, apart from it, there are no other small..."
Speaking of this, Qiu Fang's words obviously paused, he seemed to suddenly think of something, his eyes lit up, and he replied, "Could it be that what the senior said... Snake King?"
"Oh?" The old man's voice was a little surprised, and then he said, "You call him Snake King?"
Qiu Fang frowned slightly, he didn't know the identity of the other party, but he was not stupid, between the lines, he could feel that the other party's background was extraordinary, or rather, his qualifications were extraordinary, so he said suspiciously: "Could it be a senior..."
The other party laughed again when he heard this, and said with a strange smile: "When I died, the snake king in your mouth was still the same size as it."
As soon as the other party's voice fell, a thin and slender figure came to Qiu Fang lightly, and the young man saw a strange figure suddenly appear in front of him, and involuntarily took a step back, his clear eyes were full of vigilance.
However, what made him strange was that the other party's figure had obviously fallen in front of him, but he couldn't detect the other party's breath at all, as if, as he said, this old man with his back was a dead man.
Qiu Fang wanted to open his mouth to ask who this white-haired old man was, but when the words were about to be spoken, he swallowed it again, he naturally couldn't figure out the details of the other party's strength, but he could guess that the old man in front of him was definitely not a first-order ordinary person, and perhaps, he was the only master in the world.
Since the old man appeared, there has been a shallow smile on his face, he looked at Qiu Fang and the little gluttonous snake in Qiu Fang's palm, and finally returned his gaze to Qiu Fang, and said calmly: "Unconsciously, I have been gone for more than two hundred years."
"More than two hundred years—" Akifang repeated in a suppressed voice, as if puzzled by this.
The old man saw the doubt flickering in his eyes, and immediately waved his hand and said, "According to the time you said, the old man will leave this world
It's been more than 200 years."
The old man laughed lowly, his laughter was a little desolate, and a little helpless, as if all this was an unbreakable fate, so that he could not do anything in his life.
Hearing the old man say this, Qiu Fang's heart suddenly sank, and his eyes wandered a little strangely.
Could it be that the reason why I can't detect the aura of this old-timer is because he is not a living person? But he is not a living man, so how can he appear in front of him?
Qiu Fang threw out a few questions in his heart, his face was quite surprised, and he hurriedly said, "Where did the old man go?"
Could it be that there are ghosts in the world?
The young man already had the answer in his heart, but he couldn't believe the answer, but after thinking about it, since he had already seen demons and demon beasts, what was so strange about encountering ghosts again, you must know that once upon a time, he didn't believe that there were demons in this world at all.
The old man glanced at Qiu Fang deeply with empty eyes, and said lightly, "Where did you go when you said you died?"
"The juniors don't know." Qiu Fang lowered his head and pretended to be stupid, although he wanted to ask if people would go to hell if they died, but when he thought about it before, when he heard the scolding between his subordinates, he would also curse the other party to go to hell after death.
The old man floated gently towards the autumn boat, he was already shorter than the autumn boat, and his body was rickety, when he came to the autumn boat, he actually needed to raise his head to look at the autumn boat.
He looked at Qiu Fang like this for a while, his face was as calm as water, and he said softly, "Guess, is it hell?"
Hearing the word "hell", Qiu Fang couldn't help but raise his head, and that look seemed to say, "Senior, how do you know that I have these two words in mind?"
But Qiu Fang was embarrassed to say it after all, and just swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
When the old man saw this, he laughed out loud: "There is no hell, when a person dies, it is a handful of dry bones, and there is nothing left."
"That senior is now..." Qiu Fanghu asked suspiciously, since the other party said that if a person dies, there is nothing, then who is the person who is talking to him now?
The old man turned to look at Qiu Fang, he knew that Qiu Fang must have ten thousand doubts in his heart, but he didn't plan to answer them one by one, he just lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and then said, "If you are unwilling, you will know the remnant soul left behind, when you die."
The old man's words were quite scary, which made Qiu Fang frown, and without waiting for Qiu Fang to answer, he added, "Of course, you have to die unwillingly."
"Junior, I understand something." Qiu Fang guessed that the other party's so-called remnant soul refers to the resentment in his heart when he was dying and broke through the shackles of the Three Realms and Five Elements, and thus was born a period of consciousness that could not support it for too long.
And the old man's next sentence proved his guess.
"I can't stay long, I can't answer what you want to ask, but I still want to ask you a few more questions. If you don't hide it from me, I'll get my own reward." The old man said with some sorrow, it seemed that there was not much time left for him to leave this remnant soul.
"It's okay for the seniors to talk about it, but the younger generations know everything." Qiu Fang is not greedy for the so-called reward, but he just thinks that people are dying and his words are good, no, although the other party is dead, but this remnant soul is a proof of unwillingness, since it is just to ask a few questions, it is just a gesture for himself, why not fulfill the other party's dream, so that the other party can go without worry.
The old man looked at Qiu Fang's clear and bright eyes, and smiled indifferently, he had read countless people during his lifetime, and he only needed to glance at Qiu Fang's eyes to know if the other party was lying to himself.
"Do you know Feng Zhang..." The old man raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes were empty, and he said while thinking, but in the end, his voice became smaller and quieter, and after a while, he continued, "It's been so long that I have forgotten the name of the old Taoist leader."
"Who do you want to ask?" Qiu Fang asked, poking his head out.
"All I remember is him... What is his name Feng Zhang..."
Maybe he had been dead for so long that the old man couldn't remember the name of the deceased.
"The juniors don't know." Although old
He couldn't say his full name, but Qiu Fang knew that he didn't know this person just by hearing the first two words.
"No matter what, how can immortality be so easy to ask for, I've been dead for more than two hundred years, that old Taoist leader, I'm afraid there will be no ashes left." The old man smiled and waved his hand, and then diverted the topic, "The world, or the world of the king?"
"Yes, it's just that, according to the year, I'm afraid it's not the human monarch in the memory of my predecessors." Qiu Fang replied in a deep voice, above the temple, there is a mystery of his life experience, and there is blood flowing in his own family.
The old man looked at him strangely, as if he had seen something wrong, and guessed, "It seems that you have something to do with the temple."
The person who is about to die, no matter how much he knows, he can't spread it, Qiu Fang also said that he knows everything, so he naturally lowered his head silently and didn't speak, but his expression had already told the other party the answer.
The old man looked at Qiu Fang's eyes, and guessed Qiu Fang's thoughts, but just shook his head and laughed: "It seems that the world is chaotic, or ordinary chaos."
Qiu Fang raised his eyes and looked at the old man's expression, although it was a sigh, there was no sigh between the lines, it seems that he didn't care about what this world was like when he was alive.
"Old decay and Feng Zhang... Yes, Feng Zhangli, after seeking a lifetime of immortality, he still has to turn into a handful of loess in the end, which is really embarrassing." The old man finally remembered the name of the person he remembered, and his tone was much higher, but his eyes naturally showed a little sadness.
Qiu Fang could see that the old man's amazement was not sad or happy, it seemed to be resigned to fate, and it seemed to be a relief.
