Forty-two lonely old man
Chen Su further comprehended the secret of life and death, penetrated the dark void space, and incorporated it into the spiritual realm. The moment Chen Su broke through the barrier, a dilapidated and desolate ruin appeared in front of his eyes, this ruin was broken and ruined everywhere, many buildings even had only a stone wall left, and most of the pillars and beams had long been damaged.
Chen Su observed for a while, this place covers an extremely wide area, and it used to be a place that attracted people to linger, but after the prosperity, it fell into such a field.
When Chen Su was observing unconsciously, a lazy and old voice suddenly floated in the air, "What kind of amazing character is my Dao, not only solved my hypocrisy, but also took it away, I didn't expect it to be a slightly larger doll." ”
Chen Su raised his head, only to find that on a stone platform more than ten zhang away in front of him, at some point, there was an old man with a white beard and white hair and an old face. When he was observing just now, he had not yet noticed that there was a person there, so it seemed that the old man's speed was not ordinary.
Chen Suyi arched his hand, "The younger generation was deceived by others, and he had to fall here, if there is any offense, please forgive the seniors." With that, Chen Su bowed to the old man again.
The old man smiled and nodded, and gently stroked the white hair under his chin with his hand, "Smack, smack, with your cultivation, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, I really couldn't believe that you could break my Void Realm." ”
"The younger generation is just a fluke. ”
"Heh, then you are really lucky, I think that this void nightmare swallowed hundreds of people without knowing it, and there are only a bunch of skeletons left in the end, but you didn't even have three days, so you took him in. ”
Chen Su felt slightly unhappy in his heart, as the old man said, then the skeletons he saw behind the stone gate before were really left by living people? This old man not only took their lives, but also used their bones as puppets, it seems that he is not a good kind, and it is too incompatible with this kind appearance. Chen Su lowered his head and ignored the old man, who muttered to himself again, and seemed to find that something was wrong with Chen Su's emotions.
"What, do you think my old man is chattering?" the old man stood up from the stone platform and looked at the desolate scene around him, "I've only been alone for too long, and I finally met an outsider, so I inevitably have to say a few more words." ”
Speaking of staying alone for too long, Chen Su also seemed to feel empathy, yes, he seemed to have been alone for too long, since the dispute with Shen Tianwen happened, the people around him began to leave him in a hurry, his father, Aunt Rou, master, and even the eldest brother Ugo who he had met after arriving in this world, seemed to be slowly estranged from him, and Wu Bingyu hated him even more inexplicably, thinking that Teng Luo was an amiable elder, who knew that it was also full of all kinds of lies, and Mu Xian fell into an extremely dangerous situation not long ago because he wanted to protect him。
The more Chen Su thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and his fists creaked.
The old man looked at Chen Su, knowing that he must have been emotionally aroused by something, and quipped: "Doll, when I was your age, I didn't have as many worries as you. ”
Chen Su sighed, "How can people compare with each other?"
"Oh?" the old man sighed in amazement, it seemed that the young man in front of him had experienced a lot, "If you are willing to speak, my old man is willing to hear it, and maybe I can give you some ideas." ”
Chen Su smiled and shook his head, "Some things have passed, and I don't want to mention them again." ”
The old man nodded, "Okay, then you might as well tell me how you got here?"
Chen Su wanted to speak, but hesitated, looking at the old man's expression and posture when he spoke, he didn't look like a wicked person, but his method of wiping out hundreds of people was a little cruel. However, at the moment, he is unlikely to be his opponent, and Mu Xian is also unpredictable, annoying him, he can only be more disadvantaged, hesitated for a moment, Chen Su opened his mouth to explain: "Senior, my clan passed by here and was robbed by bandits, I came with a relative to the bandit to judge, he was not our opponent, so he used rhetoric to trick us into the tunnel, and then he didn't know what means he used, he escaped and ran alone, leaving us trapped in it. ”
The old man nodded, "Over the years, you are the third person to arrive here. As he spoke, he also seemed to fall into the memory, "I have been here for too long, I have even forgotten the years, many years ago, when the first person came here, he lived with me for several years, and I also gave him all his money, and then he said that he missed his family and wanted to go back to see, who knows if he will never return." Later, when the second person came, I had a heart, although I gave him some pills that could temporarily improve the inner yuan, but I did not pass on any exercises to him, and he also knew that I looked down on him, so after staying for a while, he begged me to let him go, and promised to find me someone who satisfied me, so I let him go. Who knew that after such a long time, it was you who came. ”
Chen Su seemed to feel that there was something in the old man's words, "Senior, although I came, I was deceived here, and I still have a lot of unfinished business. ”
The old man raised his hand and interrupted Chen Su's words, "Unfinished business, that's just your business, what does it have to do with my old man?"
Chen Su was really afraid of something, but at this time, he had to grit his teeth and insist, "I also ask the seniors to guide me a way out, so that my relatives and I can leave." ”
"Hmph!" the old man glared and roared angrily: "In this case, only one of you and your relatives can leave, and the rest must die!"
Chen Su didn't speak, looking at the old man, he suddenly had a feeling of pity for him from the bottom of his heart, what kind of loneliness must have caused him to be the way he is now? In order to leave someone to accompany him, he even did not hesitate to kill someone. People always feel terrible to be killed, and perhaps for him, loneliness will be more terrible than anything else.
"Seniors. Chen Su whispered back.
"What, did you choose? Are you going to leave by yourself and let me kill the person who came with you?" The old man glanced at Chen Su, and suddenly there were some more complicated things in his eyes, and he seemed to have changed his mind a little when he made the decision to give up his companion so quickly.
Chen Su shook his head slowly, "If you don't mind, why don't you come with us?" When you are willing to come back here, I will accompany you back." “
"Go?" A simple word made the old man pause as if he had been struck by lightning, "If I could go, how could I wait until today?" The old man roared frantically, but the voice was still extremely old, "Answer me!" You answer me, Tianchong, you don't kill me, but let me suffer this loneliness that is more uncomfortable than death, why do you answer me!" The old man looked up to the sky and shouted, it was so heartbreaking, Chen Su was at a loss.
After a long time, the old man gradually calmed down, but his listless appearance made the already old Long Zhong's face even more desolate, "I can't go, I can't even die." “
The old man muttered alone, as if he was soothing himself, but listening to Chen Su's ears, it was so cruel, an old man who was so afraid of loneliness, not only could he not go, but he could not even die, what kind of threat could make people even beg for death? Or was there still concern in his heart? But what was he worried about? Looking at the old man's lonely back, Chen Su couldn't help it, and a tear flowed from the corner of his eye.
"Let's go. The old man stretched out his voice, as if he was suddenly touched by something, "While I haven't changed my mind, hurry up, your relatives are still trapped in the Bainian Corridor, take this, it can take you back to the entrance." The old man said, and threw Chen Su a jade piece the size of a tea bowl.
Chen Su stretched out his hand to take it, looked at the jade piece, but hesitated a little, go, he really wanted to go, but he couldn't bear to leave this poor old man alone, maybe in the future, he would have to spend it alone, if it was really as he said, to spend endless lonely years alone, not even death, then even hell, maybe it is no longer terrible.
"If I change my mind, you won't be able to leave!" the old man urged with his back to Chen Su.
Chen Su hesitated, but didn't take a step, as if he was enchanted, "Senior, can you tell me the reason why you can't leave?"
The old man didn't speak for a long time, and after a long time, he sighed, "Many years ago, there was a strong man who was proficient in divine cultivation, known as the Emperor Tianchong, when our two clans killed each other, lasted for several years, during which there were countless casualties, and the grudge also deepened, and then he and I met in this Hongchi ruins to fight, and the loser could not leave the ruins half a step for life, nor could he kill himself to seek death, and from then on, the people of the two clans could not seek revenge against each other. The losing side did not dare to cause trouble because of the greatly reduced strength, while the winning side was restrained and did not dare to violate the clan rules. In this way, the hatred between the two races can slowly subside. “
"And then?"
"Later?" recalled that time, the old man's expression became a little gloomy, "Later, as you can see, I fought with him for more than ten days, and finally I was trapped in the illusion of sinking by him, and I couldn't extricate myself. “
"Oh, so ......"
"Yes, I lost. The old man looked into the distance and said sadly, "So I have no choice but to keep my promise, and I can neither leave here nor kill myself." ”
"But how many years ago did this happen, have you ever seen that Tianchong Emperor after that? Do you know what happened after this?" Chen Su asked, this Tianchong Emperor, he seems to have heard Mu Xian talk about the celebrities of the past dynasties, it was the existence of two generations earlier than Mu Xian, so how many years did this old man spend thousands of years here?
