The white-haired old man sat opposite Wan Peng, his face was very kind, and he looked at the two dishes in front of Wan Peng, and there seemed to be hunger in his eyes. Wan Peng also quickly noticed his eyes, and smiled slightly, "This is what I have already eaten, if the old man wants to eat, I will treat you." I think we are also destined, juniors invite elders, it is always due. ”

After that, Wan Peng called the shopkeeper, took a menu, and asked the old man to order it himself. The old man seemed to be very satisfied with looking through the recipe, but in fact, in the end, he only ordered a bowl of noodles and a plate of peanuts.

Wan Peng said, "I really didn't expect to see the old man in Jinyang City." ”

The white-haired old man said, "I can't think of it, but I can." I've been waiting for you in Jinyang City for a long time, and now that the time is almost right, I'll naturally come to you. ”

He temporarily put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at the old man, "You mean, you knew I would come here?"

The old man smiled and pointed to the chopsticks that Wan Peng put down, "Don't be so nervous. This is a restaurant, and if you don't hold chopsticks, you always feel weird, and you're going to quarrel. ”

Wan Peng also heard the reminder in the old man's words, and took the chopsticks in his hand again. That's right, this is a restaurant, and if two people throw their chopsticks aside and only talk, they will inevitably attract attention.

But soon, Wan Peng found that the chaotic sound in his ears was gone. He knew that it was the old man who had cut off the sound, whether it was from the people outside or from them. As a result, no matter what they say, they may not be heard from the outside.

Of course, you may be able to hear it from the outside, but what you hear is completely different from what they say. Since the old man has a method, he must have the ability to protect their conversation, so Wan Peng understands in his heart, but he doesn't ask much.

He took a closer look at the old man. His face was very kind, and there was no sign of his face hardening due to cultivation. However, he was able to use spiritual power and spiritual sense. All of a sudden, the old man's origin and intention became the content of great interest to Wan Peng.

The old man smiled slightly and looked at Wan Peng, "What, do you feel like I'm weird?"

"No, no. Wan Peng is actually a little nervous now, "It's not strange, it's just curious." ”

The old man smiled heartily, "Actually, I'm also curious about you. Although you have not been here for a long time, if you really list the things you have done, many people may think that you are a legend. In addition, a few days ago, the Xuanxiao army achieved a big reversal in the battle between Xuanxiao and Jinxiao, and now it has almost forced Jinxiao to a corner, and this time also happens to be the time when you are not in Jinxiao. ”

The old man glanced at Wan Peng meaningfully, "It seems that your ability is even more outstanding than I expected." ”

In other words, the old man doubted or had already affirmed the relationship between Wan Peng and the Xuanxiao War. Wan Peng did not refute the old man's statement. Things have come to this point, no matter what the origin of this old man is, why he waits for himself, he can't change the fact that Duan Xuehai is in his hands. And as long as Duan Xuehai is not handed over to Jinxiao for a day, he will still have the possibility of achieving his goals one day.

So, Wan Peng smiled slightly. "The old man is also very powerful, which can also be seen. ”

The old man still smiled heartily. Just at this time, the shopkeeper delivered the food he wanted, and he didn't say anything for the time being, and set them up very attentively. When Xiao Er left, he spoke, "People live for a long time, and they naturally know more things." Of course, there are many times when we gamble as well. It's just that sometimes the bet wins, and sometimes the bet loses. I bet you'll come to Jinyang City, and I won my bet. ”

Wan Peng didn't know what the old man meant, and asked, "Many things, I hope the seniors will make it clear." If you continue to say this, I'll be confused. ”

The old man smiled and threw a peanut into his mouth, "Do you want to see Duan Qing?"

Wan Peng's brows furrowed slightly. "How does the old man know?"

The old man said, "It's very simple, analyze all your actions. You've been paying close attention to the Secret of Fas. And then you heard the news of Xuanxiao's defeat, and immediately left Jinxiao, and then Xuanxiao won a big victory, but when the battle situation was not completely settled, you came back in a very hurry, you must have wanted to accomplish something. Synthesizing some of the information I got from special sources, including the troops who returned from the Xuanxiao expedition, it was said that the head of the Xuanxiao Lingyun Sect had betrayed and stole the secret slip. So after a comprehensive analysis, several conclusions were drawn. ”

The old man was now extremely organized, "First, you are from Xuanxiao, and you are looking for the secrets of your Lingyun Sect. ”

"Second, you don't know the whereabouts of the secret Jane right now, so the Xuanxiao War has become the top priority for you to deal with. ”

"Third, if you come back again, you still return to Jinyang City, but you can still eavesdrop on them here, which means that you didn't come in a hurry after getting the news of the secret Jane, it must be related to the military. And your idea is, to solve this war at its roots. ”

Wan Peng smiled and agreed with the old man's analysis. "The seniors are thoughtful enough. ”

The old man said, "Probably." In fact, from the first time I saw that you were an outsider, I knew that you were not ordinary. In this era, the passage between the nine heavens is not completely open, including between people who have received the inheritance of the gods, there are great restrictions on entering and exiting each sky. You can come and go so freely because you have something to do with someone who has been passed on. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly frowned, and then turned to Wan Peng. "Huh? This feels like ...... The passage between Xuanxiao and Xuanxiao opened. Moreover, there are inheritors moving. This...... Something to do with you?"

Wan Peng nodded. He didn't expect that this old man could feel the passage switch between the two skies so accurately. In this way, his cultivation and ability must also be extraordinary. After thinking about it for a while, Wan Peng said, "I'll ask a friend to help take care of Xuanxiao." I'm afraid that when I'm not there, Xuanxiao will fall. ”

The old man's eyes became meaningful, "I guessed right. You really have a relationship with the inheritor. ”

After talking for so long, Wan Peng never knew whether this old man was friend or foe. It seems that it is difficult to realize just trying to observe, Wan Peng simply said directly, "For such a long time, the seniors haven't said why they are waiting for the juniors here." I hope that the predecessors will make it clear. ”

The old man smiled, "This question is very simple. I want to protect you. ”

Wan Peng was stunned, "Protect me?"

The old man nodded and said, "That's right. Because you are not from Jinxiao, I have been paying attention to you and observing you since you appeared in front of me. After I was sure that you were not bad-hearted and that you were righteous, I decided that I should protect a good person like you. That's my job. ”

"Duty?" Wan Peng was stunned again. "What are the specific responsibilities of the seniors?"

The old man smiled a little embarrassedly, "Is this...... To put it simply, it is the duty of the god of light. ”

"The duty of the God of Light?" Wan Peng's mind was confused at first, and then he quickly reacted. Surprised, his chopsticks fell on the table again, "You, you mean, are you the one who received the inheritance of the God of Light?"

The old man nodded slightly. "That's right, that's me. You are also the first person in the sky to know my identity. ”

"But, then why do you want to protect me...... Wan Peng was still puzzled in his heart.

"For the true yang fire in your body. The God of Light looked a little helpless at this time, "But don't worry, I don't want to refuse to take it for myself. Actually, I need to use your True Yang Fire to accomplish one of my missions. Because you have the True Yang Fire in your body, I will only start to pay attention to you from the time you have been talking to me in Jinxiao. ”

Wan Peng didn't know why he was shaking his head, "But, what does this have to do with my True Yang Heavenly Fire?"

"So I say it starts with my duty. Do you have a friend of the gods who have been passed down and have you ever learned about the duties of the gods of light?"

Wan Peng shook his head, "I didn't understand." Actually, this is the first time I've heard of the idea that God's inheritance has a role. ”

The God of Light said, "It's not surprising. Not every god has a fixed role. There are several of these responsibilities that are clear, and that is the god of death, the god of light, and the god of memory. To put it simply, the Grim Reaper is a god who is responsible for balance, but what it is responsible for balancing is not the balance of power between people, but the balance between man and nature. Those who have received the Grim Reaper's inheritance have a duty of balance. If you don't fulfill your duties, when either side of man and nature causes an extreme imbalance between the two sides, and the laws of the universe are broken, the legacy of the Grim Reaper will automatically leave the inheritor and be inherited by the next inheritor. ”

"And the god of light is responsible for transformation. Specifically, it is the transformation of murderous energy. You've heard of murderous aura, right? But it's not the same kind of murderous aura that you have on your body when you fight. Murderous aura, also known as aura, is attached to a weapon when a person is killed. If the murderous aura gathers more and more and does not transform, then it will also affect the operation of the universe, and the inheritance of the God of Light will automatically leave. ”

"The god of memory is responsible for inheritance. Wan Peng answered at this time, "Responsible for the transmission and retention of key information." Of course, there may be some information that is not in the traditional sense. ”

The old man nodded in satisfaction, "That's right. You're right. The inheritance that the God of Memory is responsible for is actually to maintain the operation of the Memory Soul in the world. Why does a child learn a lot from not knowing anything? Memory spirit son is a kind of eternal thing, when a person dies, the memory spirit child he has is scattered into the world, waiting to be used by new people. But in this process, the god of memory has to be maintained. ”

Wan Peng didn't seem to understand this paragraph, but it reminded him of a story he had read, called "Memory Inheritor", which was similar to what was said above. The book actually received high reviews, but it didn't catch on. "But what does this have to do with my True Yang Heavenly Fire?"
