"I didn't prepare enough today, so I'll come back another day. ”

Lin Chen and Hong Ba came out of the dry well, and did not see the old man guarding again, Hong Ba looked strange, looked around, and had a creepy feeling, and had not recovered from the horror of the well.

"I have the courage to rob, but I don't have the courage to go down the well. Seeing Hongba's appearance, Lin Chen smiled.

Hongba immediately smiled, and said with a sneering face: "Didn't you have eyes and didn't know Mount Tai at the beginning?" "He slandered in his heart, and I was unlucky to meet you.

"Do you know who the old man guarding here is?" Lin Chen didn't sense the old man's savings, he was surprised in his heart, and suddenly asked Hong Badao.

Hong Ba was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Lin Chen meant, but he still replied: "Old man Lin, he is a housekeeper, what's wrong? ”

Lin Chen said: "You just tell me directly about his identity and origin, and you don't have to worry about the rest." ”

Hong Ba hurriedly shut up, realizing that he had said the wrong thing, for fear of making Lin Chen unhappy, he hurriedly said that he didn't dare.

"Well, let me think about it, Old Man Lin is the older generation of the Lin family in the town, he is very senior, I forgot the name, I only remember that he has been guarding the old mansion of the Lin family all along. Humba thought at a rapid pace, digging out everything he had heard and remembered before.

Hong Ba also told Lin Chen that the building they were in was the old mansion of the Lin family, and the dry well was originally an old well in the old mansion of the Lin family, but it was later abandoned, and this place lasted for at least a few hundred years.

"Then he must be familiar with the dry well, right?"

Hongba nodded and said, "That's for sure, I don't know how many years I've been guarding." ”

"Then he doesn't stop others from going down the well? You said that there have been a lot of things going down the well. Lin Chen asked, his eyes flickering.

Hongba hesitated for a moment and said, "This, it seems that I haven't heard that I won't let you go down the well." It's a little strange to think about it now. ”

"If there is danger, the old man should stop it, why didn't he stop it, is there any secret. Lin Chen muttered to himself. He had a vague feeling that the secret of the dry well should be at the bottom of the well.

"Impossible, with the old man's small physique, he can't stop others from going down the well, maybe that's why he didn't stop it. Humba shook his head vigorously.

At the beginning, Lin Chen could see that the old man Lin had a good martial arts cultivation, at least a level 4 warrior level, and he might not be able to deal with a few ordinary people because of his age.

"Old man Lin seems to be in his nineties. Hongba remembered something, and immediately told Lin Chen, with a suspicious look on his face. I was also shocked in my heart.

"I'm almost 90 years old. Lin Chen was also a little surprised, because when he saw the old man Lin before, he felt that he was fifty or sixty years old, and he was even older than he thought.

"What, Old Man Lin has a problem?" Hongba rolled his eyes, very curious.

"I'm just asking, and it's not about the old man. Lin Chen didn't want to say more. But he had an idea in his heart that the old man must know some secrets of the bitter well.

"I've given you the task of preparing some food that doesn't go perishable. You can eat at least three days, serving two, the more the better, but not too much. I'm going to take it. Lin Chen ordered Hong Badao not to allow him to refuse.

"What for?" asked Humba subconsciously.

"It worked. I've marked you too, don't try to run away. Lin Chen glanced at him coldly, and Hong Ba was like falling into an ice cellar. Immediately dispelled all kinds of thoughts in his heart.

Hongba complained fiercely in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and he didn't dare to show it in the slightest. The painful experience of the past still lingers in his memory.

The previous encounter made him deeply know that Lin Chen was a martial artist with strong strength, and it was no easier to deal with ordinary people like them who had at most first-level strength.

If it was this alone, he wouldn't be so afraid, what made him so afraid was Lin Chen's strange methods, which seemed to be able to affect people's hearts and make people hallucinate, which was more terrifying than seeing a ghost. This was the real reason why he obediently listened to Lin Chen's orders.

His other three companions were even more unbearable than him, and they were already completely frightened of Lin Chen's strange methods, and they didn't dare to refuse anything.

But he didn't dare to refuse, otherwise he didn't dare to guarantee what would happen. He didn't want to die yet.

There are still warriors in Fangjia Town, walking along the way, Lin Chen found a few martial artists who are not weak, and they were a little surprised when they saw Lin Chen's eyes, but they didn't look at it much, they saw Lin Chen's identity as an outsider, and they all knew the curse of the town, and they didn't have the idea of being involved.

There were one or two people who could see that Lin Chen's martial arts strength was not bad, and their expressions were surprised and curious.

"It seems that this town does have a relatively big secret, I don't need to uncover it, I just need to find the natural treasures that will help me. Although Lin Chen thought so, he wanted to find as many heavenly treasures as possible, but if he really couldn't find it, he wouldn't be discouraged, there was no reason why Blackwater Lake was so big that he couldn't find it.

It's just that the geographical environment of Heishui Lake is not very favorable to Lin Chen. He doesn't necessarily have to dive directly into the lake to find it, that is also dangerous for him, the underwater water beasts are undoubtedly more advantageous than him in the water, and it is more difficult for him to deal with the water beasts.

"If you can't help it, you'll have to really get into the water. ”

The three gangsters who followed Hongba, called Fang Er, Ma Liang, and Fang Cannon, were standing in front of Lin Chen tremblingly at this moment.

"Well, you're doing a good job, there's nothing to tell you for the time being, you three disperse. Lin Chen nodded.

The three of them went to the town to inquire about the situation according to his instructions, and the good news was that they really heard some legends about the treasures of heaven and earth, there were two clues in total, Lin Chen kept these two clues in mind and planned to check them.

The three of them were stunned, and this was the end? Some suspected that their ears had heard it wrong. They thought they would live like this in the future.

"You really let us go?" asked Fang Cannon with some consternation.

"Who said I let you go?" Lin Chen asked rhetorically.

"You're not letting us go. The three of them were even more shocked, and their faces were bloodless.

"I'll look for you again if there's something, but now it's nothing to do with you. Or do you think I can't find you?" Lin Chen looked at them with a calm expression.

The three of them suddenly felt that their lives were dark again. They didn't doubt Lin Chen's ability at all now.

Lin Chen waved his hand to let the three of them leave, and the three of them didn't dare to refuse even if they were suspicious, so they had to leave.

Lin Chen didn't care what they thought, what he wanted now was to go to the library in the town to check the history of the town, firstly for the dry well, and secondly to verify the two pieces of information obtained.

Outsiders have to pay to go into the library to check the materials. You need to pay 100 a day, and you can go in and out several times a day.

The librarian was a tall man with large glasses, and he could tell at a glance that Lin Chen was from out of town, because he had basically seen everyone in the town.

"How can I help you?"

"No, I'll do it myself. Lin Chen shook his head and refused.

The tall-eyed man shrugged, "Okay then." ”

The tall-eyed man looked at Lin Chen with curiosity, and found that Lin Chen had walked towards a history-like area.

"Do you want to look up the history of the town? The tall-eyed man whispered, as if he had expected it, and laughed quietly, no longer paying attention.

Lin Chen came to the historical area. His eyes swept over the books, he took them down, looked at the books, and received the information on the books into his mind like a scan.

Lin Chen's powerful soul power is even more powerful than he never forgets, and when he looks at the book, he doesn't need to understand it, he directly senses the knowledge information into his brain and turns it into his own knowledge.

Books also exude energy. Books themselves have only the energy of extremely weak materials, and the stronger energy is knowledge, which exudes unique thoughts, thoughts. Literacy, the power of knowledge. Depending on the knowledge, the energy is not used.

Of course, the average person will never be able to sense it.

In this world, only Lin Chen could sense this special power.

When others read it, they would only think that Lin Chen was looking for a certain book. I definitely wouldn't think that he was absorbing the knowledge inside, and the tall administrator also came to see it once, and seemed to be a little curious. After seeing what Lin Chen had done, he shook his head, a little unable to understand what he wanted to do.

The history of Fangjia Town can be traced back to 600 years ago, when it was only a small village, and then gradually developed into a town, and the other four towns are similar, all with a history of hundreds of years.

The reason why Fangjia Town is so called is because a large number of people in the town have the surname Fang, which was originally established by the expansion of Fangjia Village, so it is called Fangjia Town, and later absorbed many people from other places, so there are many surnames.

Among them, the Lin family was the first group to migrate to Fangjia Town, at that time there were three families, all of them were three big families, one of which was in the central district of the town, owned the old house, and later moved to other places, and only one old man guarded the old house.

There are many ancient ruins in Fangjia Town, which have existed since the original Fangjia Village, and it is also because of the existence of these ancient ruins.

Site 1 is a small river that has dried up, and now there is only one river channel, which goes around a few blocks. This doesn't seem to be a strange place, it's just an ordinary ancient river.

Site 2, is a ruined wall, is a pile of rocks, but only a few pieces are still intact next to the town entrance, other original many rock walls have been destroyed, I don't know where to go, some took out of the town, some were taken home as table stones.

There are strange murals on this site, which have become very blurred now, and there has been such a legend in the town, there was originally a powerful race living on Sanshui Island, which established a civilization, and later the civilization was destroyed, leaving a dilapidated ruins, and Fangjia Town has also become mysterious and weird in several other towns because of this ruin, and the people of other towns do not dare to provoke the people of Fangjia Town.

Lin Chen was very interested in this ruin, especially the legends it had, and thought it was quite interesting, maybe there was really a so-called powerful civilization.

Site 3 is a very old high-rise building, next to the library.

The tall building next to the library, Lin Chen had seen it before, it did have the atmosphere of ancient times, but in his opinion, it was just an old-fashioned building.

Fang Er and the third of them found two clues for Lin Chen, one of which is related to the rock group of the site, there was a legend that someone found a treasure in the rock group, the ruins were passed down, and the person who found it was a very famous family in Fangjia Town, that is, the famous mayor's family in Fangjia Town, Fang Ming's family.

Another clue is in a Taoist temple in the town, enshrined in a black round stone, the legend is very magical, the Taoist temple has a miraculous ability to heal the legend is to rely on the black stone, but it has always been a legend, no one can confirm the truth or falsehood, can not find any evidence. All the time. There are also people who try to steal the stone, but all of them die without exception, and there are many rumors that the stone will make people evil, and only people from Taoist temples can use it.

Lin Chen found from the library that the Taoist temple was established for a long time, with a history of three hundred years, and from the very beginning, there was a mysterious black round stone, and each master of the temple basically had a special ability, which was very powerful, so it has always been very prestigious in the town.

Lin Chen found that there were really a lot of secrets hidden in Fangjia Town. He had no intention of revealing these secrets. It's just that when it comes to the treasures of heaven and earth, he is a little concerned, and he plans to visit the mayor's house and the Taoist temple.

Of course, you have to think carefully about how to visit.

Lin Chen spent two hours in the library, in addition to checking history, he also went to look at books in other areas, compared with the island, there were a lot less, only some ordinary books, which were of little use to Lin Chen.

"Let's go to the Tao first. Lin Chen put his first stop on the Taoist temple.

The Taoist temple is in the town. It is in the southwest area of Fangjia Town, covering a small area, basically an ordinary family, which was originally relatively large. Gradually, it became a very ordinary Taoist temple.

There is now a rather old master in the Taoist temple, a few Taoist children, who seem to be a little green and yellow.

Lin Chen quietly entered the Taoist temple, and did not let the few Taoist children who were doing cleaning work outside find out.

"This friend. Uninvited doesn't seem to be a way of hospitality. ”

The voice of the old watchman came into his ears, which startled Lin Chen.

The old watchman unexpectedly discovered his whereabouts.

Lin Chen walked out. He asked in a deep voice, "How did you find me?" As he spoke, the power of his soul extended to the old master, and he found that this person's spiritual consciousness was stronger than that of ordinary people, although it was far inferior to him, but it also surpassed ordinary people, and this was the first time he had seen such a strong spiritual consciousness.

"I didn't expect Your Excellency to be so young. The old viewer was obviously taken aback, looking at Lin Chen's appearance, with a shocked look in his eyes.

"The old master heard that you have magical abilities, and it is really a little special. Lin Chen pondered in his heart how exactly he had discovered him.

"It's just a little trick. I just felt what seemed to be a stranger. The old viewer said in a deep voice.

"Can you feel my breath?" Lin Chen asked in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency's aura is so powerful that I can't sense it. ”

The words of the old master made Lin Chen a little surprised, being able to sense the breath of others means that he has a certain spiritual cultivation, such a person cannot be described as talented, there must be a special adventure.

Lin Chen knew very well the weirdness of this world, his extraordinary power was suppressed, because his soul was strong, and he used the power of his soul to change himself from the day he was born, so he had today's spiritual cultivation.

"The old master is really as powerful as rumored, so I must know the purpose of my visit this time. Lin Chen asked.

The old watcher said, "I can guess one or two." You're here to view the rocks, aren't you?"

"Viewing stones?"

"Guanshi is the name that has been handed down in our Taoist lineage. The old master said, his eyes kept staring at Lin Chen, and there was a strange smile on his face, "I don't know what Your Excellency wants." I originally thought it was just a little thief, but now I know it's wrong when I look at you. ”

"Oh, can you detect anything?" Lin Chen was curious.

The old observer said: "In my eyes, Your Excellency is like a sun, shining on the people around you. ”

"That's not a bad thing to say. Lin Chen nodded rarely.

The old master sighed, "Would you like to hear me tell me about the origin of my Taoist lineage?"

"Listen up. Lin Chen was not in a hurry, and found a place to sit down.

The old contemplation lord said quietly: "My Taoist view is a vein left by the gods, and the gods are a vein!"

Lin Chen was taken aback, "Gods, heh, how can there be gods in this world." ”

The old man's eyes flickered, and his voice became louder, "Oh, you don't believe in gods? ”

Lin Chen laughed, "I only know that my life is the biggest, and the gods can't take it." ”

The old watcher also laughed: "It's really very human." ”

"What about the divine bloodline?, are you still the divine bloodline?" Lin Chen looked at the old Guan Lord, very interested.

The voice of the old contemplator came down again: "The Taoist temple worships the gods, so we can say that we can say that the gods are in the same vein, the body of the gods, beyond the human body, and no longer has the limit of longevity. ”

"Have you ever seen a god?" Lin Chen asked.

The old viewer shook his head, "I've never seen it." ”

"Then how can you be sure that your first line is the first line of gods, maybe it's just a legend. It's just an old rumor. Lin Chen said that he didn't believe that there were transcendent gods in this world who could be passed on, because the power must be suppressed.

But the old observer said, "Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean you don't believe it." Since Your Excellency is here to view the stone, then naturally guess that the stone has magical powers, of course, it is related to the gods, and any bad intentions for the stone will be cursed, and only my Taoist temple can be in charge. ”

"So what?"

The old contemplator said: "I advise Your Excellency not to pay attention to the stone without authorization, I am afraid that there will be unforeseen disasters." ”

"The old man said for a long time, but I actually made me give up? Unfortunately, since I have made up my mind, I will not change it casually. Lin Chen was unmoved.

"Your Excellency really wants to go your own way, even though I am old and frail. But it is still possible to protect the viewing stones. The old man's voice was low and cold.

Lin Chen smiled casually, "Old Viewer, you can try." ”

The old master's eyes suddenly brightened, and Lin Chen felt that a not weak spiritual power was emanating to attack him, but it was immediately blocked by his soul power, and the spiritual power that came from the attack was like a stone sinking into the sea.

"You!" the blow he was best at didn't work, and the old viewer couldn't help but be shocked.

"I can't imagine that you have figured out the method of using spiritual power to attack, it really can't be underestimated, if it's someone else. I'm afraid it's really going to be affected. Lin Chen said lightly.

"How could you not be affected?!" the old viewer still couldn't believe it.

"In your mouth, there are gods in the world, and what is impossible. If you can trust the gods, why can't you trust someone to stop your spiritual attack? ”

The old watcher took a deep breath. "I don't believe you'll be able to stop it a second time!"

Suddenly, a powerful spiritual force rose from the main body of the old contemplation, and at the same time, this spiritual power was linked with a certain place in the Taoist temple, drawing out a similar spiritual power. Strengthens the whole.

Lin Chen's powerful soul power could sense that in a certain room of the Taoist Temple, a black stone was exuding power at this moment, if it weren't for the old viewer who deliberately connected it. He couldn't sense it yet.

Now the old Guan master has a certain way to connect his spiritual power with the black stone, which happened to be captured by Lin Chen.

Although Lao Guan lectured on the great increase in spiritual power, for Lin Chen, it was still just a drop of water in the sea, which was equivalent to colliding with an egg against a stone, and Lin Chen's soul power was a stone.

"Ah!" the old watchman himself let out a scream and crouched down with his head in his hands.

After a long while, the old master came over panting, pointed at Lin Chen, and looked shocked: "You don't have anything to do at all!"

"Now you know the gap between me and you. Lin Chen said lightly, "Don't try to use other means to deal with me, don't provoke me, that's definitely not what you want to see." ”

"What do you want to do, why do you want to covet something in my small Taoist temple with such strength as Your Excellency. The old man's face suddenly turned pleading.

"I see that you, a Taoist Ding Buwang, are not bad in this remote town, there is not much danger, and it can be passed on safely. But be careful, not everyone is as good a talker as I am. Lin Chen said slowly.

The old watcher's face immediately changed, "Are you threatening me?"

"I'll just tell you the truth, why don't you tell me what's going on with your so-called divine lineage?" Lin Chen asked with a smile.

"If Your Excellency promises not to disturb the attention of my Taoist temple, I will tell you the truth. The old viewer said with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Lin Chen didn't respond to him, but just said, "Do you think you are qualified to negotiate with me, or you haven't recognized the current situation yet." Although I had planned to quietly take the strange stone, since you found it, it only means that things are not going to happen. At the end of the day, it's you who caused it. ”

Although the old master felt that what Lin Chen said was really crooked, he couldn't refute it at the moment, and in a way, it was indeed because he had become the current situation.

The old viewer had a bitter face, smiled bitterly in his heart, and couldn't refute: "You're right, I'm to blame for everything." Since I can remember, I have been told that it was passed down by the gods, and we want to pass it on. (To be continued......)
