The voice became clearer and clearer, and Xiao Yun finally saw the old man with Huafa coming over. I saw that behind the layers of thick ancient trees, an old man with a wrinkled face walked slowly towards Xiao Yun on crutches.

As for Xiao Yun's repeated shouts, the old man was completely like a deaf person, ignoring it, and he didn't even raise his eyes to look at Xiao Yun's small movements. Only the twenty-eight words he kept repeating became clearer as he got closer.

"Seniors. Forced by the information he had received from the man in the shadows, Xiao Yun didn't dare to greet the old man indiscriminately, he could only stand in place, greeting the old man over and over again, trying to attract the old man's attention.

"The old man bowed down to look at the height and shortness, and the day was purple. The old man walked straight to this side with one foot deep and one foot shallow, but he just ignored Xiao Yun who was anxious, "Don't ask for rain when you need it, and stand on the cloud platform with three legs." ”

The four sentences and seven words in the old man's mouth were in Xiao Yun's ears, and at first glance, there was a little bit of poetic meaning. However, when I read it carefully, I found that it was not the case at all. Let's not say whether the rhythm and grammar of the poem can be matched, just these 28 words, which are simply read to satisfy the rhyme, as for the meaning of the sentence, I don't know what the meaning is at all.

Xiao Yun didn't know how much time he had spent cultivating before, but he definitely felt that it would not be short, and in this way, he would not be able to waste any more time.

At this moment, an old man appeared, and he was not stupid enough to think that this old man was just a passerby. Since he had waited so long to be arranged by the person in the shadows, then it must be the key to passing the level! Xiao Yun thought so at this time in his heart.

Therefore, watching the old man walk slowly, his heart was more happy, but more apprehensive. Especially when the old man came straight to him and ignored him, his mind became even more irritable.

"Could it be that there is a mystery in these poems?" After pondering for a long time, the only information that the old man brought was these twenty-eight words, and Xiao Yun quickly guessed that perhaps there was a key way to pass the test hidden in these four sentences and seven words.

Thinking like this, he unconsciously followed the old man and recited the four nondescript "verses": "The old man bows down - look at the height and shortness, and the day is dark - purple gas." When there is need rain - do not ask for rain, stand on three feet - stand on the cloud platform. ”

Xiao Yun tried in vain to get some information from this literal meaning, but the truth was always unsatisfactory. These four lines of poetry do not make sense in the first place, let alone extract meaningful meaning from them and choose them for their own use?

The old man was on crutches and walked towards Xiao Yun unhurriedly. Xiao Yun was anxious in his heart, and the old man's slow pace seemed to him a kind of torture. But he didn't dare to act rashly, and finally waited for this so-called NPC to come, he didn't want to make a move and cause his previous efforts to be wasted, although he never knew what would happen when he took this first step.

Finally, the old man slowly came to Xiao Yun's arm's length in front of him.

Xiao Yun was overjoyed, and the "opening the clouds and seeing the bright moon" mentioned in the book was probably his state of mind at this time. With a deep sigh, he didn't plan to waste any more time, he was lucky, he walked his right arm, bent his right palm into a claw, and shot out like lightning to grab the old man's hand, he was ready to restrain the old man first, and then ask about the situation.

And unexpectedly, the old man didn't dodge or dodge, just like Xiao Yunren, he also turned a blind eye to Xiao Yun's grasping hand.

His heart sank slightly, although Xiao Yun expected that the situation would not be so simple, he still grabbed the old man's crutches without hesitation.

He knows that time cannot be delayed!

If what the previous person said is true, after this level, there are two more levels, and the second level requires three people to work together to clear the level. Then the time he's wasting here isn't just his time......

Boom!

Due to the great strength, Xiao Yun's hand on the old man's arm made a crisp sound, like the sound of a bone cracking. Then there was another "buzz", and a force erupted from the palms of the two of them, almost knocking Xiao Yun to the ground directly.

If Xiao Yun hadn't been prepared, he might have been blown out this time, and he had no choice but to take the "first step" that he had "guarded" for two days and two nights. When I think about it, it's like the first time I've been holding on for 18 years......

That force not only almost knocked down Xiao Yun, but also crashed into the rickety old man.

It's just that the old man didn't move at all, not affected by it in the slightest, and he didn't even stop for a moment to move forward.

"Seniors. Xiao Yun secretly said that it was dangerous, but fortunately, he grabbed the old man's arm and waited for the opportunity to call again, "Senior, the kid is deeply lost, and he still wants to give him some guidance." ”

But the old man still didn't seem to hear it, and walked forward without raising his head.

Xiao Yun felt that the hand he was holding on the old man's arm didn't feel anything, as if he was holding a piece of dead wood, and the old man's hand had neither the slightest pulse beating, nor the slightest sign of strength.

Where did that burst of energy come from?

"Senior!" Seeing that the old man was about to walk in front of him, Xiao Yun couldn't help but increase the strength in his hand, and his heart became more and more anxious. However, the reply he got was still only twenty-four words that didn't make sense, which made Xiao Yun want to slap the old man in front of him to death with one palm.

"Why are you so insistent on it? Even if you give a hint. Xiao Yun said this extremely quietly, he didn't say it to the old man, but after this sentence, the old man reacted.

The old man stopped.

It's just that he still hasn't looked up.

"Why are you so stubborn? Stay here for two days and two nights without moving. After a long time, the old man finally said his first words.

This made Xiao Yun suddenly grasp the life-saving straw: "I'm waiting for you, waiting for the answer." ”

"I'm not the answer. ”

But the answer is yours. Since the old man spoke, Xiao Yun was sure that he had already passed eighty percent of this level.

"Nope. The old man lowered his head and shook it, "The answer is already there. ”

After saying this, the old man continued to crutches, without even turning a corner, and went straight forward, even Xiao Yun didn't know when he broke free from the grip.

"The answer is already with me?" Xiao Yun was stunned on the spot, he repeated the old man's words over and over again, and finally dropped the words on the word "already". Could it be ...... Is the key really those 24 words? That's the only explanation for now.

"The old man bowed down to look at the tall and short ......" He repeated these four sentences and seven words, and suddenly looked up and saw the back of the rickety who was gradually moving away. Looking at the height, height, shortness, and looking at the past, the old man's rickety figure was very short, but his back was towering, like a camel's hump.

Xiao Yun's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have found something. He hurriedly read the next 21 words: Since the white air is purple and the purple air comes from the east, I don't know that the east is white, is this sentence the word "east"? When there is need rain, he does not ask for rain, and when there is "need" rain and does not ask for rain, isn't that the word "and"? Isn't the word "straight" when the three-legged stand on the cloud platform and stand on the three legs?

Twenty-eight words are connected: turn your back to the east and go straight! Does this mean "all the way to the west"?!
