Chapter 35: The Mysterious Old Man

"Little friend, how about you come in and have a cup of tea?"

The old and easy-going voice came again, this time Xiao Fan caught the source of the sound, turned to look at the old hut on the street on the left, hesitated for a moment and then pulled Lu Qingya, who was a little surprised, to walk over.

Lu Qingya didn't hear any sound, seeing that Xiao Fan's expression and behavior were a little abnormal, although she was surprised in her heart, she didn't say anything, just silently followed him to the old hut on the side of the street.

When he came to the door of the hut, Xiao Fan pushed open the half-covered door and walked in with Lu Qingya, and saw that there was a small door in the house, but there was no one.

"Little friend, come in and sit. ”

The old man's voice came into his ears again, and Xiao Fan pulled Lu Qingya through the small door and saw an old courtyard. In the center of the courtyard grew an old tree, with dense branches and leaves, spread out to cover half of the small courtyard.

Under the old tree, there was a white jade table, and an old man in linen was sitting at the table, looking at the two of them with a smile on his face. This old man looked very old, his gray hair looked a little messy, the wrinkles on his face were like knife cuts, and his eyes were a little cloudy, not at all like a person with profound cultivation.

"Senior!" Xiao Fan saluted and walked over slowly. He knew that this old man was definitely an ordinary person, he looked old and unbearable on the surface, and his eyes were cloudy, but his cultivation was definitely not low. After all, when the first time the sound was transmitted into the secret, Xiao Fan could not capture the source of the sound. Although he caught it the second time, he knew that it was the old man who deliberately let him find out.

"The seniors and juniors are bothered. ”

Xiao Fan and Lu Qingya sat down at the jade table, facing the old man.

"Xiaoyou is polite, today I occasionally feel abnormal fluctuations in Xiaoyou's body, and the old man knows that you and I are destined, so I invite you to enter one. The old man said, with an easy-going smile on his face.

Xiao Fan was about to speak, when he saw the old man's palm flip, and a plant with immortal energy flowing came out of his palm. At this moment, Xiao Fan and Lu Qingya were shocked together, and their eyes suddenly lit up, revealing a shocked color.

In the palm of the old man in Mai is a tea tree, the whole body is white, the rhizome is like mutton fat white jade, and the fairy energy circulating on the tea leaves is extremely pure, exuding an indescribable high and profound rhyme.

Seeing Xiao Fan and Lu Qingya looking at their palms in shock, the old man in Mai smiled faintly and said, "This is the Great Dao Immortal Tea Tree, which sprouted at the beginning of chaos, after endless years, and in the hands of several people, but by chance, it was obtained by old decay. ”

Listening to the words of the old man in Mai, Xiao Fan and Lu Qingya were even more shocked! Although they didn't know what effect this Dao Dao Immortal Tea Tree had, they could imagine that it was definitely an immortal-level treasure just from the time it sprouted at the beginning of Chaos!

However, Xiao Fan and Lu Qingya were puzzled again, how could such an immortal treasure, how could the old man in Mai appear in front of the two of them at will? After all, they only met the old man in Mai today, and they didn't even know their names.

"Senior, we met for the first time today, we don't know each other, you take out such treasures like this, aren't you afraid that the two of us will have bad intentions?" Xiao Fan said, he knew that the old man Mai must be very powerful, and he was not afraid that the two of them would have bad intentions, but he still deliberately asked each other.

Hearing this, the old man in Mai smiled faintly, stretched out his hand to pluck a few tea leaves from the Great Dao Immortal Tea Tree, and said, "You don't have that kind of thought, besides, even if this Great Dao Immortal Tea Tree-like person gets it, it will be useless." ”

Xiao Fan and Lu Qingya were stunned for a moment, looking at the old man in Mai suspiciously, not knowing why he said this. However, it is certain that the identity of the old man is definitely not ordinary, otherwise how could he keep this kind of immortal treasure, I am afraid that he would have been snatched away a long time ago.

In this northern wilderness city, the strong have entered the clouds, coming and going, for so many years, even the strongmen above the mythical realm are not a few. What kind of strength is needed to keep the Great Dao Immortal Tea Tree, it can be seen!

The old man in Mai put the tea leaves between his fingers, and the fairy tea tree in the palm of his hand disappeared, and a set of quaint bronze tea sets appeared. I saw him slowly place the bronze tea set on the white jade table, and then took out a jade bottle.

Xiao Fan and Lu Qingya quietly watched the movements of the old man in Mai, and when he pulled out the cap of the jade bottle and poured the liquid into the teapot, Xiao Fan and Lu Qingya's hearts suddenly shook, and they really suffered a huge impact.

"This immortal liquid is collected and refined by the old decay over the years, and today I have a fate with Xiaoyou, so I use it to make tea to entertain Xiaoyou. The old man in Mai said with a light smile, but Xiao Fan and Lu Qingya were so shocked that they couldn't even speak.

What is the immortal liquid? It is condensed and refined by immortal qi, a drop of immortal liquid does not know how much immortal qi needs to be refined to condense it, this is a top-level cultivation resource, not to mention the cultivators of the legendary realm, even the cultivators of the mythical realm will be red-eyed!

What is the identity of the old man Mai?

Xiao Fan and Lu Qingya looked at each other, and each saw the shock and incomprehension in each other's eyes. What shocked me was that these things that the old man Mai took out were all rare immortals. What is puzzling is that the two of them met him in Pingshui, why did he use Xianzhen to entertain him?

As for what the old man in Mai said about fate, Xiao Fan and Lu Qingya naturally didn't believe it. Judging from these furnishings, the old man in Mai should have lived here for many years, and there are so many people who have passed over the years, why do they have a relationship with the two of them?

The old man in Mai glanced at Xiao Fan and Lu Qingya, put the tea leaves into the teapot, and then stretched out his left hand and stuck it on the teapot, a flame intertwined with Dao marks appeared on the palm of the old and thin hand, and green smoke soon came out of the teapot, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

"Little friend, you two don't need to worry too much. As you think in your hearts, there is indeed a special reason why the old man invites you to drink tea. This fairy liquid and tea are so precious, how can ordinary people drink them. ”

"Senior, you ......"

Xiao Fan and Lu Qingya were shocked, they didn't expect that what they were thinking in their hearts was seen through by the old man in front of them, which made them feel a chill down their backs. In front of this old man, doesn't it mean that there are no secrets?

"The old man didn't mean to spy on you. The old man in Mai knew what Xiao Fan and Lu Qingya were thinking. When the words fell, wisps of avenue marks suddenly appeared in the muddy and godless old eyes, and at this moment, Xiao Fan was shocked, and a rapid trembling sound came from his body.

The sudden change made Xiao Fan and Lu Qingya startled at the same time! Almost without any hesitation, Lu Qingya stood directly in front of Xiao Fan, looked at the old man in Mai coldly, and said, "Senior, what are you going to do?"

"Buzz!"

......

The trembling sound in Xiao Fan's body was endless, and it became more and more urgent, Lu Qingya stopped in front of him, did not feel any fluctuations in the amount of strength, only saw the old man Mai boiling tea on the fire, and looked at the two of them with a smile in his eyes.

"Don't worry, little girl, old decay won't hurt your sweetheart. The old man in Mai said, and the marks in his eyes became clearer at this time.

Xiao Fan looked at the old man in Mai in horror, under his gaze, the earth-shattering nine swords in his body continued to tremble, rushing left and right, he couldn't suppress it at all, and he was about to rush out of his body.

"Senior, what do you mean by this? Could it be that the seniors coveted the nine bronze ancient swords in the juniors' bodies?" Xiao Fan gritted his teeth and said angrily while forcibly suppressing the nine ancient swords.

The old man in sackcloth shook his head, his thin right hand slowly stretched out, and in the sound of "whoosh", nine bright rays of light instantly rushed out of Xiao Fan's body, and all of them flew into the old man's hand, floating in his palm, trembling gently.

"Senior, could it be that you really want to take my ancient sword?"

Xiao Fan's face was a little cold, although deep down he felt that the old man in Mai was not that kind of person, but the facts were in front of him. The Nine Swords of the Heaven-shattering Supreme are the weapons left by the Heaven-Shattering Supreme, and even the soldiers of the Zun, once the gods in the soldiers are restored, these nine ancient swords will be infinitely powerful, slashing the heavens and the earth, and they can do anything!

"Xiaoyou is too worried, how can the old decay take away people's weapons. The old man in Mai shook his head, his gaze fell on the nine bronze ancient swords shrunken in his palm, and let out a long sigh, with an indescribable desolation in his voice: "I didn't expect the nine swords to become like this, and the gods were almost severely injured to the point of dying." ”

Xiao Fan was shocked, his heart was like being hit by a 10,000-pound giant hammer, and he blurted out: "Senior, have you ever seen the Nine Swords of the Heaven-shattering Heaven?"

"Yes, yes. The old man in Mai nodded, glanced up at Xiao Fan, and said, "The Nine Swords are too badly injured and need to be nourished by the Great Dao." If you can trust the old man, he will temporarily hand over the nine swords to the old man, and when you come out of the Eight Desolations Extreme Realm, the old man will return the nine swords to you, and the state of the gods in the sword should be greatly improved at that time. ”

Xiao Fan was slightly silent, then glanced at Lu Qingya, who was still blocking in front of him, pulled her to sit down, and said to the old man in Mai: "Naturally, it is trustworthy, and the juniors will temporarily hand over the nine swords to the seniors." ”

For Xiao Fan, deep down he still believes in this old man. Besides, if the old man really coveted the Nine Swords of the Heavens, he would not have any strength to resist. He felt that with the unfathomable strength of the old man, if he really wanted to seize the sword, he was afraid that he would not need to use his hands at all, and he could kill himself with just one thought.

At this moment, Lu Qingya looked at the old man in Mai with hostile eyes, in her opinion, even if the old man in Mai was telling the truth, he should not detain the nine ancient swords in his body without Xiao Fan's consent.

"Elegant, don't be rude to your predecessors. Xiao Fan said in a loud voice, gently squeezing her slender hand. When Lu Qingya heard this, the hostility in her eyes slowly dissipated.

By this time, the tea had already been boiled and was steaming hot. The old man in Mai filled three cups of tea with his own hands, and pushed two of them in front of Xiao Fan and Lu Qingya.

"Little friend, the tea has been cooked, please drink tea. ”

Looking at the tea brewed with immortal liquid in front of them, Xiao Fan and Lu Qingya reached out and picked up the teacup and sniffed it gently, it was fragrant and pleasant. However, what surprised them was that they couldn't feel a trace of Taoist rhyme and fairy energy.
