Chapter 190: The Mysterious Man
Nalan Yue was slightly surprised and asked, "See someone?"
Chen Jian said indifferently: "An old man, this person is mysterious, in fact, I don't know his true origin, but he promised me that when I am in a critical situation and don't know how to act, I can go to him." ”
Nalan Yue asked with interest: "A person as powerful as you, there is another person like this behind him, it seems that this person must be a hermit master, have you often asked him before?"
Chen Jianping shook his head and said, "No, I have never bothered him, for some reason, I can always feel a familiar breath in him, but I can't say why this feeling comes from." ”
Nalan Yue's face sank, and she whispered with a little self-reproach: "It seems that this situation is really too serious, so that you have nothing to do!"
Chen Jianping shook his head and said, "You don't have to blame yourself too much, I have a lot of ideas in my heart, but when it is complicated, I always can't figure it out, so I can't help but want to see that person." ”
Nalan Yue pursed her lips and asked, "How did you get acquainted with such a hermit master?"
Chen Jian said indifferently: "Two years ago, several gangs around Lingjiang merged and endangered a small village downstream, and this master lived in seclusion in this small village at that time. ”
Wu Datong asked while drinking on the side: "With such a powerful master, this small village has nothing to be afraid of, the gangs in the Lingjiang area are rumored to be rabble, relying on the large number of people!"
Chen Jianping nodded and said: "Actually, those sects are all going to this small village, it is said that there is a large gold mine under the village, and it looks like the small village is about to be turned into a grave, but this old man is unwilling to use force with others no matter what!"
Nalan Yue raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, "What is this, it doesn't make sense?"
Wu Datong smiled slightly and said: "I think this master is playing tricks, but in fact, he has no ability at all!"
Chen Jianping smiled and said calmly: "By no means, a person with strong martial arts and profound internal strength, no matter how much he hides it, he will always exude a special temperament on his body." ”
Speaking of this, Chen Jianping drank the liquor in the bowl in one gulp, and Nalan Yue and Wu Datong looked at Chen Jianping in a daze, waiting for him to continue.
Chen Jianping put down the wine bowl and said indifferently: "And the person whose internal strength is gradually like the transformation of the realm, there is a sense of returning to the basics between his gestures, and this old man gives me such a feeling, his skill is by no means below me, the people in the world have such cultivation, as far as I know, there is only Liu Yifeng of Xuanyumen!"
Wu Datong almost choked on a mouthful of food, twisted his neck and swallowed hard, and asked with a red face: "Is it more powerful than you? Isn't that a monster?"
Nalan Yue glanced at Wu Datong and hurriedly asked, "What happened then?"
Chen Jian said indifferently: "On that day, hundreds of people blocked the path into the village, holding torches, this old man swore to the sky that he would never make a move, he just quietly smashed his knees and sat in front of the village, blocking everyone's way with his own flesh and blood." ”
Wu Datong asked incredulously, "Can this work?"
Chen Jianping smiled faintly and said: "Of course it doesn't work, that group of robbers just spared him and began to kill people and set fires, but although this old man is strong in martial arts, he still stands there in a daze, giving people an indescribable feeling." ”
Nalan Yue asked leisurely: "Could it be that this old man is indifferent to watching the whole village die in front of him?"
Chen Jianping said in a low voice: "What will happen next, I naturally have no way of knowing, at that time I and the four envoys of Fushou and Ankang happened to be nearby, saw the firelight and heard the sound of shouting and killing, so I rescued this village, fortunately we arrived in time, although many people were injured, but fortunately, no one died!"
Nalan Yue asked, "If you hadn't acted in time, did you think this old man would have helped?"
Chen Jianping sighed and said, "I don't know, but this old man attaches great importance to his promise, hey! It's really sad and lamentable, a good master in the world, but his hands and feet are bound!"
Nalan Yue nodded and whispered: "People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves!"
Chen Jianping shook his head with a smile and said: "In short, he is very grateful to me, not so much that he is grateful to me for saving the next village, but rather that he is grateful to me for taking action in time, lest he break his oath, so he promised that if I have anything to decide, I can ask him." ”
After a short time, the three of them were full of wine and food, rode towards the southwest of Dongyao Mountain, rode for about an hour, arrived at a small valley, at this moment the dark clouds in the sky suddenly rose, just turned a few mountain roads, and it actually rained in the autumn.
The light raindrops hit the blades of grass on both sides of the mountain road, and as soon as the drizzle fell, a smell of earth rushed to the face, and when the ground was about to be wet, a slight heat was raised, making this small valley appear more secluded.
After a few more steps, the horse could no longer walk, so the three of them tied the horse to a tree with a crooked neck, and walked inward, and in front of them was a small dense forest, and the branches and foliage of this dense forest were very dense, and the thin autumn rain was too small to pass through this dense layer of leaves.
After about a cup of tea, the three of them walked through the dense forest, and when they were near the edge, they gradually heard the sound of rain, Wu Datong turned his ear slightly, and whispered: "There is someone in front!"
Chen Jianping smiled slightly, the three of them walked out of the dense forest, the rain fell on their bodies again, only to see a small thatched hut built on a vacant land, a small vegetable garden behind the house, and one person was wearing a hat and holding a hoe, weeding in the vegetable garden.
I saw that the old man was tall and burly, slightly hunchbacked, his face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes were shining, although his whole body was dressed very ordinary, but there was a sense of unhurried calmness between his gestures, which made people feel that his heart was sinking and very stable.
The old man glanced up at Chen Jianping, and without saying anything superfluous, he asked directly, "How can you have time to come to me?"
Saying that, he waved his hand and motioned for a few people to sit under the eaves of the thatched hut, and Chen Jianping did not go around the bend, and concisely said a series of things that were voiced by Northern Xinjiang.
After hearing this, the old man looked up at Nalan Yue on the other side, and Nalan Yue only felt that she was looked at by the old man's profound eyes, and the whole person seemed to be seen through, and she felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart.
After a while, the old man looked at Wu Datong sideways, frowned slightly, and revealed a trace of the same expression on his face, as if to say: "Such a person should not be with you, how can he appear here?"
Then, the old man retracted his eyes and said lightly: "The Flying Candle Evil Beast is indeed terrifying, to be honest, the world is really facing an unprecedented catastrophe at this moment!"
When Wu Datong heard this, his eyes rolled, and he asked with a little desolation: "That...... So what's not to do?"
The old man sighed and said, "Naturally, there is a way, this Quartet Evil Beast is not the first time in hundreds of years that it has been born, if there is no way, wouldn't the world have already ended, can there still be us?"
Chen Jianping said: "But now that the Demon Suppression Array has been destroyed, this time I'm afraid it will be more than lucky!"
The old man smiled slightly and said, "You are a fledgling boy, do you think it is great to establish a small Yaoshan Sect? There are many more you don't know about the rivers and lakes! There are three magic circles in the world that can control this Flying Candle Evil Beast!"
Nalan Yue hurriedly said: "Yes, we know this, the Demon Suppression Array has been destroyed, and there is also a type to suppress the Panze Evil Beast, as for the third type, it has been lost for many years, and no one knows where it is!"
The old man smiled slightly, looked at Chen Jianping and Nalan Yue and said, "You don't know, this third-type magic array is called Tiangang Taiji Seal, and it is in the hands of today's martial arts giant, Xuanyumen Liu Yifeng!"
Chen Jianping and the three of them were shocked, and asked in unison: "What? Is this true?"
The old man smiled contemptuously and said: "This is natural, the older generation in the martial arts knows it, but for hundreds of years, the innocent beasts have been in chaos, and the world has slowly forgotten these and become terrible legends in the mouths of the small people in the market, so everyone feels that the third type has been lost!"
As he spoke, he looked at Chen Jianping with a smile and said, "Although you were once a disciple of Xuanyu Gate Ziyun Palace, there is really no way to know about this matter, I guess even your master Lu Zhengshan may not know, there should be few people in Xuanyu Gate who know about this Tiangang Taiji Seal!"
Chen Jianping pondered for a moment in horror and said, "Could it be that in the Xuanyu True Scripture, the third layer of internal strength, the Tiangang Xuanyu True Technique, is changed from this Tiangang Taiji Seal?"
The old man laughed and said: "Your understanding is not bad, it is true, the highest level of internal strength of the Xuanyu True Scripture is changed from this Taiji seal, and it is this Xuanyu True Recipe Internal Strength that has established the status of Xuanyu Gate in the martial arts today!"
When Wu Datong heard this, he was overjoyed, patted his thigh and said, "Great, you don't have to die now, there is Xuanyu Gate, we don't have to be afraid of the Flying Candle Evil Beast!"
The old man sneered and shook his head, and said stingingly: "This is not necessarily, there is a huge hidden danger in this!"
