Chapter 66: Seven Thousand Years
"Woo~"
"Whew!"
"Woohoo!"
"Okay, okay, we have a lot of puppies, anyway, a roe deer is so big, why not let him eat more, don't be angry, go to the city in two days, let him buy you more as compensation."
Wei Feng held the dog in his arms, stroking its smooth fur with one hand, while soothing it like a child.
Liu Cun pretended not to know anything, and ate the meat of the hind leg of the roasted roe deer by himself, no matter how the dog fried his hair, he didn't see it, and at his feet, there were two front leg bones of the roe deer.
Canggou and Wei Feng finished eating one hind leg, and saw that only the torso of the roe was left on the grill, and two of the four legs were killed by Liu Cun alone, and now they are still eating the third one, which made Canggou angry in an instant, and it has been as cute as a pug, and it has cursed.
The control of the heat from the long-term barbecue, coupled with the help of the spices bought in the county, made the roe deer roasted by Wei Feng particularly delicious.
A few days ago, Wei Feng caught two rabbits, Liu Cun one, he and Canggou shared one, although Liu Cun gnawed the rabbits every time, but he never mentioned that he didn't have enough to eat, let alone grab some more from Wei Feng and Canggou's mouths.
Today is different, he only estimated that the hind legs of a roe deer were about the amount of meat of a hare, so he no longer suppressed his appetite, and opened his belly to eat.
On the one hand, the amount of food that a cultivator eats is indeed much higher than that of ordinary people, and on the other hand, it shows that he has also detached himself from the pain of his master's death and no longer thinks about it.
It's just that he doesn't know how special the dog is, he doesn't know how much he values food, and he doesn't know that what the dog looks forward to most every day is breakfast, lunch and dinner.
And in Canggou's heart, even if Liu Cun eats half of it, he can leave the other half, after all, Canggou and Wei Feng have lived for so long, they are deeply influenced by Wei Feng, and the concept of pursuing fairness is very deep, so they will howl angrily.
Wei Feng noticed that although Liu Cun pretended not to know what was going on here, his white face couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, so he hurriedly went to appease Canggou.
Canggou is actually very easy to appease, Wei Feng tore off a large piece of roe deer meat and stuffed it in his mouth, and then promised to buy him delicious food in the future, and it was basically done.
After Liu Cheng finished gnawing on this hind leg, he hurriedly went to the river to wash his hands when he was full, and washed until the dog swallowed the rest of the meat, and then he walked back slowly.
Seeing him sit down, Wei Feng wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but suddenly saw that Liu Cun's face was a little stiff, no, not only his expression, but his body was also very stiff.
This kind of posture Wei Feng has seen, when they were still in Moshi Village, Zhang Lao Er and they saw the tiger was this stiff posture, which was the subconscious reaction of creatures when they saw something they feared.
Is there anything here that scares Liu Cun in particular? Although Wei Feng hadn't figured it out yet, it didn't affect his instant vigilance.
Before he could react, an old voice came from beside him: "Your clan is still as sensitive as ever......"
When?!
His magic mist rain has been on, and it can be determined that no one has ever approached, and when someone gets close, the rain has not given him any feedback.
Wei Feng swallowed his saliva with difficulty, slowly turned his head, and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
I saw a hand with withered skin like an old tree, caressing the little head of the dog, and the dog, which had never been touched by strangers, was lying motionless on the ground, silent, letting this hand caress it.
Looking up along that hand, the man's arm was hidden under a dusty robe, the style of the robe Wei Feng had never seen before, at least not the style of Yanzhou and Hezhou.
Above the robe revealed a face carved out by the years, under the dense wrinkles, only a dull twilight emanation emanated, seeing this face, I feel that this person is afraid that his life will not be long, it is a kind of old age that is about to die, except for decay or decay.
He was carrying a huge stone pillar behind his back, saying that it was a stone pillar but Wei Feng felt that it was a little similar, but only the old man knew what it was.
"You...... Who are you? Wei Feng asked stiffly, he couldn't help it, Liu Cun was still stiff and didn't dare to move, and he couldn't expect Canggou to speak, so he could only go on his own.
"It's me who is abrupt, I feel a little emotional when I see this little guy, I forgot to report my home, my name is Ji Chen, a person from Cangyang, oh, there is no Cangyang now." The old man's expression remains the same, and it is the kind of joy and sorrow unique to the elderly.
"My name is Wei Feng, this is my friend Liu Cun, and the one you are stroking is also my friend, called Canggou." Wei Feng said worriedly.
It can also be seen from Wei Feng's opening that he is already in a somewhat panicked state, only strangers in the previous life will introduce themselves to each other, and in the world of cultivators, not telling each other is already a malicious provocation.
However, Wei Feng also realized this after speaking, he took a deep breath, and quickly thought about the current situation in his mind, Liu Cun was still in a state of panic, indicating that the strength of this old man should be very strong, at least Liu Cun couldn't deal with it.
And Liu Cun can't deal with the enemy, he naturally can't help it, if the old man has malice, they are more than lucky today, but if there is no malice, is it difficult for the old man to come over in order to stroke the dog?
Wei Feng was ruthless in his heart, we Celestial Dynasty people only beat to death, not scared to death, even if they want to die here today, at least speak more neatly.
He took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile and asked, "Are you looking for us?" It's a misfortune if it's rubbing rice, just after eating, you see, the gnawed bones haven't been processed yet. He pointed to the ground.
The old man glanced at him and was about to speak, but Liu Cun on the other side seemed to have finally escaped from that state, he stood up and protected Wei Feng behind him, his somewhat trembling hands were not on the hilt of his sword from beginning to end.
Liu Cun faced the old man head-on, and said seriously: "You are here to kill me, I have only known him for a few days, and he is not even a friend, I hope you can let him go after you kill me, he is very smart and knows what to say and what not to say." ”
The old man didn't seem to have any emotion, and asked rhetorically, "Why should I kill you?" ”
Liu Cun had already tried to regain his composure, and said calmly: "Your surname is Ji, Ji is the surname of Emperor Jiang Guo, when I was a child, Master told me that the imperial family first rose in Cangyang, and you call yourself a Cangyang person. ”
"It seems that you have a vendetta against the royal family." The old man was noncommittal, but said.
Liu Cun said softly: "Master said that he knows the current saint very well, and after his death, the past will be written off, and Your Majesty will never embarrass me."
But Master also said that there is no guarantee that no other person will be stupid when they figure out the holy will, and they may come to me for trouble, but these people who are not sober are not too strong, so let me be careful. ”
"It sounds like your master is still a big man." The old man said lightly.
Liu Cun smiled bitterly: "But the master is wrong, you are very strong, maybe stronger than my master." There was helplessness in his words, and the half of what he didn't say was that a person like you is not sober.
"But I'm not here to kill you." The old man is still calm.
"Huh?" Liu Cun was slightly stunned, as if he couldn't react.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the old man said slowly: "When did I say that I came to kill you?" That's all your guess. ”
"Now in this world, there is no one worthy of me to kill, after seven thousand years, I should also rest and rest."
The old man spoke in no tone, and the bland narration seemed to be saying that he was tired after walking two miles in the morning, and he should sleep and rest at noon.
Seven thousand years?!
Liu Cun's pupils dilated suddenly, as if he had heard something incredible, and subconsciously blurted out: "Impossible!" ”
Maybe Wei Feng didn't react when he heard this time, because he didn't know the lifespan that a cultivator should have, and he only thought that a high-level cultivator was like a mythical immortal, immortal.
But Liu Cun did know clearly that before the Dragon Gate Realm, cultivators were no different from ordinary people, with a lifespan of one hundred and forty-nine years, and after crossing the Dragon Gate, the lifespan was five hundred years, and the marrow was cleansed, and the lifespan was seven hundred years.
That was when he was still young, and he asked Liu Yong curiously, is there really no way to break through the limit of a thousand years? Liu Yong touched his little head at that time and said that there are very few impossible things in the world, but if the difficulty is so high that ordinary people can't reach it, it will be considered impossible.
Under Xiao Yanagi Cun's repeated questioning, Liu Yongcai told him that it is said that the former immortal has a lifespan of 3,000 years, but no one knows how to achieve it, and he has never heard that there will be a higher record.
And the immortal, is the name of the era of cultivating immortals, tens of thousands of years have passed, and the immortal road does not exist, and future generations cannot reproduce it.
The old man said that he had survived for seven thousand years, and seven thousand years ago was still far from the era of Immortal Dao Dachang, how could he break through the life limit so much, but whenever he said that he had been more than a thousand years old, Liu Cun would not be so resolute in denial.
When the old man heard his resolute tone, he still didn't see any mood fluctuations, but said slowly: "Seeing the calamity beast come out, I'm afraid it's already 30,000 years in the Yuan calendar.
In the 22,731st year of the Yuan calendar, I was born in Cangyang, which had not yet changed its name, and I was the fourteenth among my brothers and sisters, that is, the fourteenth prince at that time.
At that time, I was young and vigorous, disdained to participate in the competition for the throne, and devoted myself to cultivation, and my talent was outstanding enough, with the support of my father, I was only nineteen years old and took half a step to the dragon gate, just like you are now. ”
He glanced at Liu Cun, and in one sentence he had already explained his current age and cultivation.
Liu Cun's eyes flashed with doubt, is this talent outstanding? Master doesn't mean that his talent is average, it all depends on Master's cultivation well, and his cultivation speed is barely eye-catching.
But he did not interrupt the old man's narration, and only listened quietly.
The old man continued: "It's a pity that my preparation at that time was not as adequate as you are now, and I was too arrogant, so I rashly attacked the dragon gate, and the result was an unexpected failure.
This defeat hit me very hard at that time, almost collapsed, and it was not necessarily a good thing that the path was too smooth, so I was decadent for many years, and when I came back to my senses.
My third brother, the third prince at that time, had succeeded to the throne, and he did not like me very much, or rather, my brothers did not like me very much, because I was young and vigorous and humiliated them all.
The third brother threw me out of Cangyang and into a poor countryside on the grounds that I had wasted too many cultivation resources, and since then I have become even more decadent.
It wasn't until that calamity that I regretted it for the rest of my life, but then it was too late for me to start practicing again. ”
Speaking of this, the old man paused for a long time, and a few ripples seemed to flash in his eyes.
"At that time, I was hopeless in life, and I decided to challenge Tianzhu Mountain before I died, and I challenged Tianzhu Mountain below the Longmen Realm, and I was almost dead.
I didn't know what kind of will was supporting me at that time, and I climbed up with all my strength until I finally lost consciousness.
When I woke up, I didn't know where I was, and I didn't know where I had strayed, but I accidentally saw a part of the truth of the world, only to realize how insignificant I was in this wave of history, and I jumped directly over the dragon gate in a trance.
Oh, that's the Dragon Gate, it's the real Dragon Gate, it's not the same as what you're practicing now. ”
The old man seems to be really old, and many times he always realizes that time has passed when he speaks, and he is in a hurry to add, but if he can't remember clearly, he can always add it in time.
"I suddenly didn't realize that my cultivation had broken through, and I immersed my mind in the record of history in that place, I don't know how long I lingered, and when I woke up like a dream again, I had already returned to the foot of Tianzhu Mountain.
Since then, my life seems to have returned to before the age of nineteen, breaking through the marrow washing, spirit, feathering, and cave mysteries all the way, and finally touching the threshold of Yandao at the age of 200.
In the following decades, there was no opportunity for me to really cross that threshold until the 23,000th year of the Yuan calendar, when disaster struck.
The disaster came so suddenly, so that everyone was a little scrambling, so that the most wrong way to deal with it was adopted in the early stage, and the disaster that could have been controlled became out of control.
At that time, in order to suppress this disaster, most of the powerful people in the world chose to sacrifice, and in order to save Jiang Guosheji, I went to Tianzhu Mountain again.
Fortunately, fate favored me again, no, I don't know whether it was favor or curse, I obtained a special sealing method, using myself as a guide to seal the disaster.
And I was also sealed.
For 7,000 years, I have been in a state of confusion for most of the time, and it is rare to have a time to be sober. ”
"Old man, I see you're very sober now." Wei Feng interjected curiously.
"yes, there will always be a time to return to the light, I don't have a few years left, so I need to find someone who can replace me." As he spoke, he quietly looked at Liu Cun, who was still immersed in the story.
