The white-robed old man's answer made Ji Tianxing frown slightly.

"You know me?"

The white-robed old man shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "Of course I don't know, today is the first time the old man has seen you."

However, half a month ago, the Great Dharma Protector greeted the old man and mentioned your name and deeds. ”

Ji Tianxing was puzzled, so he asked, "Dare to ask you?"

The white-robed old man stroked his beard and said with a kind face: "The old man's surname is Hong, his name is Chengtian, and he was ordered by the director of the god to guard the Haotian Tower.

Now that the old man is old, he has stepped down and stayed in this Heavenly Saint Palace to recuperate. ”

Hong Chengtian's tone was calm and indifferent, and his demeanor was quite free.

Just by his demeanor and appearance, you can see that he is open-minded and broad-minded.

But when Ji Tianxing heard his words, his face changed slightly, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Hong Chengtian, you are the last Great Protector, and now the Three Protectors of the Heavenly Saint Palace?"

Hong Chengtian also looked at him with some surprise, and said with a chuckle: "You kid, you actually know the old man's past? shouldn't Lin Daoyi tell you?"

Ji Tianxing shook his head and explained, "Divine Envoy Lin didn't mention your deeds, I saw it in the collection of books in the Divine Book Pavilion. ”

Previously, he was in the Shenshu Pavilion, and in order to quickly understand the situation in the Shenwu Continent, he had read more than 300,000 books.

Coincidentally, dozens of books mention Rhung.

A thousand years ago, Hong Chengtian was also a martial saint powerhouse in the world.

He was deeply respected by the Taihao Divine Lord and was appointed as the great protector of the Haotian Tower.

However, hundreds of years ago, Hong Seungtian mysteriously disappeared for ten years.

When he reappeared, he returned to Haotian Tower with a serious injury, dying, and almost died.

Although, he did not lose his life and survived.

But his strength could not be restored, and his strength realm continued to fall.

For decades after that, he lived in seclusion on Fengshen Mountain, never to be seen.

Decades later, the three protectors at that time broke through the Martial Saint Realm, were rewarded by the Taihao Divine Lord, and were named the Great Protectors of the Haotian Tower.

As a result, the identities of Hong Chengtian and the Three Protectors were reversed.

The former three protectors have become the current great protectors, in charge of the entire Fengshen Mountain.

And the great protector of the year, Hong Chengtian, has become the current three protectors, and has been living in seclusion in the Heavenly Saint Palace.

More than a month ago, Ji Tianxing saw these deeds in the book and paid special attention to them, so they still remember it vividly.

At this moment, Hong Chengtian was in front of him, and after a few careful glances, he saw the clue.

Although on the surface, Hong Chengtian is in good spirits and has a good complexion.

But in fact, his primordial spirit was missing, his breath was vague and weak, and he was obviously seriously injured in his body, which has not yet healed.

Even his strength realm has fallen from the Martial Saint Realm to the Tribulation Realm.

Ji Tianxing faintly felt that Hong Chengtian's strength realm might be comparable to that of the Second Protector, between the seventh and eighth levels of the Tribulation Realm.

At this time, Hong Chengtian looked at him with a kind face, and said with a smile: "You kid can be regarded as a legendary figure in Fengshen Mountain.

Two months ago, you offended the majesty of the Divine Lord and incurred the punishment of the Great Protector, and you were punished to sweep the floor in the Divine Book Pavilion.

Now it has attracted the oracle to come, and he has become the son of the oracle once in two hundred years, and lives in this heavenly holy palace.

Such a twisty and exciting experience is really wonderful!"

After that, Hong Chengtian stroked his beard, and a heartfelt smile bloomed on his old face.

Ji Tianxing could see that Hong Chengtian was open-minded, kind and kind, and he was impressed by him, so he admired him in his words.

So he stood up and bowed to Hong Chengtian, "I've seen the Three Protectors." ”

Hong Chengtian waved his hand and said with a smile: "You don't have to stick to red tape, and you don't need to call it the Three Protectors, just call the old man Hong Lao." ”

While speaking, he took the initiative to sit down cross-legged beside Ji Tianxing.

Ji Tianxing was not polite, he sat side by side with him, looked at the sky and the rising sun, and talked with interest.

"Elder Hong, why did you come to the altar today?

Hong Chengtian nodded and said with a light smile: "Yes, for so many years, the old man has come four times a year, and one of them must be baptized by divine light." ”

Ji Tianxing thought for a moment and asked, "I heard that the divine light descended from the Divine Kingdom is most useful to the martial artists of the Yuan God Realm and the Tribulation Realm, but it has little effect on the martial saint powerhouses.

You are baptized by the light of God every year, don't you...... Does it have anything to do with your injuries?"

Hong Chengtian glanced at him and said with a playful smile: "You kid, if you are really as rumored outside, you are really free and uninhibited, and you can do whatever you want."

If it was other disciples and disciples, even if they understood it in their hearts, they would not dare to ask it face to face.

It's good for you kid to ask this matter in front of the old man, isn't it intentional to expose the old man's shortcomings?"

Although he said so, there was no hint of blame in his expression and tone.

Ji Tianxing also showed a hint of a smile, and said in a calm tone: "Some people are humble and polite on the surface, but they are insidious and vicious and ghostly on the inside.

Unlike me, I don't need to disguise myself because I don't want anything.

The reason why I asked in person was also because I was concerned about Mr. Hong's injury. ”

Hong Chengtian looked at him, nodded with deep sympathy: "Well, you kid is young, but you have a lot of experience and a lot of understanding, and what you say is not bad at all."

The old man has been cultivating himself in the Tiansheng Palace for hundreds of years, and now he is also in a state of mind like water, returning to the basics.

From the former Martial Saint Realm, the fall to the current Tribulation Realm has also made the old man realize a lot of truths.

You are a little similar to the old man, you are tired of deceit and intrigue, and you would rather be straightforward with people than be false and wronged. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the sky with a calm face, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

The golden morning sun reflected his white robe and long hair, making him like a sage outside the world, an immortal in the clouds, and his temperament was ethereal.

He and Ji Tianxing saw each other like each other, and they fell in love, so they opened the conversation box and chatted.

"What happened back then is the old man's biggest secret, so naturally he can't mention it to anyone.

However, the old man's injuries were too serious to hurt the original spirit, and he still can't be healed.

Over the years, the old man had to be baptized by divine light every year to suppress the injury and prevent it from further deteriorating.

In addition, the old man is still concentrating on the study of the way of elixir and seeking a way to treat his injuries.

If it weren't for the help of the divine light, the old man's skills would have declined sharply.

After hundreds of years, I'm afraid the old man is not much better than you......"

After Ji Tianxing listened, he frowned and thought for a moment, then tried to ask, "Elder Hong, can you tell me about your Yuan Shen injury and what are the symptoms?"

Hong Chengtian glanced at him in some surprise, and said with a chuckle: "What's the matter?
