Chapter 35: The Old Man

"Bang!", the rushing crow hit the spiritual consciousness released by Yun Yi, and the invisible spiritual consciousness instantly enveloped it, but the crow was very flexible, and immediately flew towards the top of Yun Yi's head, hidden in the clouds, and disappeared.

Yun Yi waited for a long time and didn't see the crow come again, so he had to climb up again, but his spiritual sense kept it out, always on the lookout for the crow that would appear at any point.

Sure enough, after a while, Yun Yi's spiritual sense sensed the figure of the crow again: "This is!" Her pupils contracted suddenly.

I saw that the crow that flew back was followed by a large flock of black birds, from small sparrows to large eagles, with a wide variety of species, countless, but the most were crows.

These birds don't have any aura on them, they are just ordinary animals, and even so, such a large flock coming towards the clouds can't help but make her scalp tingle.

She plunged the five fingers of one hand deep into the mountain wall, and freed up the other hand to pinch the trick again and again, a large flame rose out of thin air, burning towards the birds, but she could see some falling, but unfortunately there were too many of them, and these spells of Yun Yi alone were a drop in the bucket.

The most important thing is that she doesn't dare to make a big move at all, otherwise if she accidentally falls, she will really be powerless.

After releasing a few spells in a row, Yun Yi looked at the flock of birds that had not shrunk at all, gritted his teeth and released all his spiritual power to form a shield around him, and then climbed up regardless of it.

The flock of birds flew towards Yun Yi, and the front directly hit the cover, smashing the spiritual power shield for a while, and he also fell down, and some did not fall, so he used all his strength to desperately toss the shield, and the beak and wings were all used.

A little further back, it can't squeeze around Yun Yi at all, and can only be covered layer by layer.

From a distance, with Yun Yi as the center, dense birds formed a semicircle and hung on the mountain wall, slowly squirming upwards with the movement of Yun Yi, which only made people feel creepy.

Feeling that the spiritual power shield was being worn away little by little, the cold sweat on Yun Yi's head couldn't stop falling down one by one, and the speed of climbing the mountain became faster and faster.

It's just that this mountain is really high, and she is still far from the top of the mountain, so she can't get there for a while, not to mention, and she can't last long with the spiritual power shield of the Yunyi Open Light Period alone.

"Tuk tuk tuk", the sound of the bird's beak pecking on the shield is getting closer and closer, Yun Yi's brows are furrowing more and more, she took out two talismans from her arms, which she wore on her body before on the mountain just in case, but she didn't expect it to be used.

Ready to fall by himself, Yun Yi was waiting for the shield to break, but suddenly felt a light in his eyes and a light on his body.

She looked back in surprise, only to see an old man with white hair and white clothes standing not far behind her, and a few wisps of white clouds slowly floated past him, which made the old man standing in the air look like an old fairy.

It's just that the action of pouring wine into his mouth with a wine gourd in his hand broke this scene, and the rich aroma of wine floated in the air, and even Yun Yi could smell it, which showed that it was a good pot of wine.

Looking around, she saw that the birds were falling down the hill, and there was basically only a shadow left.

With a long sigh of relief, Yun Yi was just about to thank the old man who saved his life, but the originally frozen stream in the sea suddenly broke, and the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" broke through the ice, and a few big characters on the cover emitted a golden light.

The words he was about to say were swallowed back again, and Yun Yi stared at the old man in front of him silently.

The old man finally drank enough wine, and wiped his mouth boldly: "Little girl, I've been waiting for you for a long time, not for a while, wait until you climb to the top of the mountain!" As soon as the words fell, the person had disappeared in front of Yun Yi's eyes.

Without thinking about it, Yun Yi could only climb up, and when she finally climbed to the top of the mountain, she only felt that her hands and feet were weak, and she couldn't lift any strength, and the whole person lay on the ground, just gasping for air.

"Well, yes, it's not dark yet, and you've passed this trial. A face full of wrinkles appeared in front of Yun Yi's eyes, it was the old man who had just saved her.

He leaned over to talk to Yun Yi while drinking, and the wine that flowed out of the gourd spilled Yun Yi's face, and a few drops just flowed into her mouth.

Yun Yi, who was extremely tired, realized that when he drank alcohol, his mind was already spinning, and he fainted drunk.

When she woke up again, the sky was completely dark, and the stars were like gems, inlaid in the black jade of the sky, mysterious and distant, but shining with light that guided people's directions.

"You're too bad for drinking, so you'll have to practice well in the future. ”

Yun Yi followed the prestige, only to see that the old man was still holding the wine gourd and pouring wine into his mouth, and he didn't know if this gourd was cast by a spell, or if it had its own space inside, and the wine in it seemed to be inexhaustible, and he couldn't finish it.

"You...... Do you want to go back, or do you ...... Don't want to go back?" she hesitated, but still said the sentence out of her mouth, from this old man, Yun Yi could not feel the malice against herself.

"Go back?" the old man paused: "When I was forced to escape from home, I never thought I could go back. ”

He suddenly howled and cried: "Two hundred years! Two hundred years, the old man has been wandering in this world like a wandering spirit for two hundred years, not knowing what he wants to do, not knowing where he should go, I don't belong here at all, and it hates me. ”

He, she, Yun Yi looked at the old man with tears on his face suspiciously: "But you said to the empress when you were in Nanzhao Kingdomβ€”β€”"

"That's because your arrival was a thing of the past," the old man interrupted, "knowing the past, but not predicting the future." Tears poured out of his eyes, wetting the clothes on his chest.

"Pathetic, pathetic! There are only two words left in this life!" he seemed drunk, and lay down on the grass with tears in his eyes, repeating the word "pathetic" without stopping, and his voice gradually became inaudible until it was silent.

Yun Yi stared at him quietly for a while, then twisted his head back and looked at the starry sky above his head.

Perhaps, but not being able to return home is nothing compared to losing his life, as he must have thought when he escaped from home.

After lying on the ground for a while, Yun Yi turned over and sat up again: "Don't sleep, since you want to go back, why don't you get up quickly, if you don't get up, I'll leave!"

"Hey, you little girl!" The old man who was lying on the ground as if he was asleep got up with a bone: "I cry so sadly, not only do you not comfort me, but you want to leave?"

He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "Since this is the case, the old man will not go back, and he will be angry with you!"

"Okay, okay, whatever you want, come to me when you want to go back. Yun Yi walked up to the old man: "Anyway, you saved me once, as long as I am in the Linshan Sect for a day, there is a place where I need my help, you can just ask." ”

Leaving these words, Yun Yi turned around and walked down the mountain.

Only Sikong Xing looked at her distant back and sighed: "What a smart girl, it's a pity." ”

With that, he waved his sleeves and disappeared.

The top of the mountain, which was still a little popular, was quiet again.
