Chapter 342: The Old Man

This is an old man who looks like he is in his sixties.

He faced Yinghuang Mountain and turned his back to Qin Xianyu.

He was dressed in a white-background blue-edged robe, and just looking at his back, he felt that he had the posture of a fairy wind.

Step by step, he walked slowly towards Yinghuang Mountain.

seemed to sense Qin Xianyu's arrival and turned around.

It was an old face, with a fairy style, looking indifferent and elegant, and there was a bit of kindness in his eyes. When he saw Qin Xianyu, he chuckled and said, "Young man, you are also here to seek opportunities in Yinghuang Mountain?"

Qin Xianyu felt carefully, and found that this person was actually the peak of the dragon and tiger, his heart was slightly cold, and he arched his hand: "The path is feathered, and there is something to do in the mountain." ”

The old man glanced at him a few times, suddenly shook his head, and sighed, "It's a pity. ”

Qin Xianyu asked, "Why did the senior say this?"

"Yinghuang Mountain has been in and out since ancient times, and most of us will venture into the mountain to find the hope of becoming immortals when we are people with a short lifespan, or some people with higher spirits will also go into the mountain to explore, but almost all of them can't get out. ”

The old man shook his head slightly, sighed and said: "The old man pities you that you are still young, you are already a dragon and tiger real person, you are really a genius, but you don't know the depth, and you have entered this mountain." If you don't know how to advance or retreat, you will be trapped in Yinghuang Mountain, lonely for life, or you will be killed and cut into ashes. With your talent, Shouyuan still has a lot of life, but how can it not be a pity to suffer like this?"

Qin Xianyu said with a smile: "Thank you seniors for your concern." ”

The old man waved his hand and said, "The old man has not been in the depths of Yinghuang Mountain for a long time, but he has more experience than you these days." Well, if you are a junior, come here. The old man will tell you about the patterns and traces observed over the years. Avoid getting out of the poor cuò. ”

Qin Xianyu's face showed joy. But there was a look of hesitation in his eyes.

Seeing this, the old man shook his head and smiled: "That's it, since you don't have such sincerity, the old man won't do this useless thing." Life is too short, how can I waste my time? You don't want to come, and the old man doesn't want to stop my own path because of you. ”

With that, he folded his hands behind his back and turned away.

Qin Xianyu had an anxious look on his face. hurriedly rushed forward and said, "Senior slow ......"

Before he took a step, Qin Xianyu's complexion immediately changed greatly.

The old man paused, did not turn around, but laughter came.

It was a very desolate laughter, with a little pleasure, a little madness.

"Senior ......"

Qin Xianyu seemed to be gritting his teeth.

The old man turned around slowly, and the color of the fairy wind and bones on his face disappeared, replaced by a fierce face, and the indifferent color became crazy. The kindness in his eyes was cold.

His face showed an endless look of meaning, and he smiled heartily.

"The old man was less than 100 years old when he was already a dragon and a tiger. There are two elders are the peak of the dragon and tiger, so between heaven and earth, there is not much danger, after a few years, I feel that there is no effect of experience in the world, and I learned that Yinghuang Mountain is strange, so I entered the mountain. ”

He smiled and said: "When I entered the mountain, it has been a hundred years since then, and I am imprisoned here, only walking within a radius of ten zhang, and there should always be someone to accompany me." ”

Qin Xianyu turned around and looked at it a few times, and said, "Ten zhang in a radius, all of them are where the formation is?"

The old man smiled and said: "Exactly, and this radius is ten zhang, if you can't fill it, there will be descendants again, and you will fall into it, just like you are now." ”

Only then did Qin Xianyu understand that the old man's pretending to walk made people mistakenly think that he was not trapped in the formation.

Like the previous ones, withering glory is forbidden in trees, some are forbidden in stones, and some people are trapped in square inches, which can be seen at a glance. And this old man can walk all around him, so he can confuse outsiders.

"Come to think of it, it's been thirty years since the last guy I kept secret. ”

The old man sighed and sighed, and said: "He saw that I walked freely, walking to the depths of Yinghuang Mountain, and I was still looking for opportunities when I was not in the formation, so he came to ask me for advice, and he couldn't get out after entering the formation." Later, he went crazy and did it to me, but after all these years, the old man has been cultivating for a long time, and he is already at the peak of the dragon and tiger, he can't fight me, but I don't kill him, keep him as a companion. It wasn't until later that he went crazy, but the old man always couldn't kill him as a companion, so he kept him, but unfortunately he committed suicide later, and even the old man couldn't rescue him, so he was alone for the past thirty years. ”

Qin Xianyu looked at the old man and said seriously: "He's crazy, in fact, you've already gone crazy." ”

The old man paused, was silent for a moment, and nodded: "You are right." ”

For cultivators, if the perception of a retreat is sufficient, it may be decades long.

But Yinghuang Mountain seems to be different here.

In addition, the mentality is also a great point.

Because of being trapped here, it is difficult for the state of mind to be clear, so it is difficult to settle down, and even if you are reluctant to cultivate, it will not last long. And a preconceived idea that you are forbidden rather than in retreat can have a huge impact on yourself.

For example, an ordinary person, who worked hard for a month, could get about one or two pieces of silver as hard-earned money. If he had a friend who needed help, he might give away all the silver he had saved to his friend and be generous.

If he had toiled for months for the sake of his friend, his mood would have been different.

After a few days, he would become irritable.

When things become more dirty, bitter, and tired, then he gradually feels distressed, regretful, and even unwilling.

In fact, it is the same as giving the reward for a few months of labor to a friend, but the order is different, there are preconceived ideas, different views, and different moods.

Of course, this is not the case for everyone, but it is for most people.

This old man is a dragon and tiger real person, in fact, his state of mind should not be bad, but he was not 100 years old before entering the mountain, he should be regarded as a relatively young real person, high-spirited, compared to the older generation of characters naturally not calm enough, plus trapped here, not a retreat, the nature of the two is different, will gradually become irritable.

Another point is that Yinghuang Mountain is the source of the search for opportunities, a dragon and tiger real people came here to find opportunities, in fact, the state of mind has long been not a calm state, and it is naturally more affected.

Qin Xianyu guessed that the real reason was because this Yinghuang Mountain itself was special and could affect people's minds. Even if the heart is like a water, it is upset first, and once it enters the battle, it is a big chaos.

If it's been chaotic for a long time, it's crazy.

"I'm crazy......"

The old man muttered a few words to himself, suddenly looked at Qin Xianyu, his eyes lit up slightly, and said, "You are not crazy yet." ”

Qin Xianyu said: "Being trapped here for tens or hundreds of years, I can't help but panic in my heart, it is difficult to settle down, I can barely cultivate, but in fact, it is not long. If this continues, over time, the state of mind will be different. If it takes a long time, I'm afraid I'll go crazy too. ”

"Don't be crazy. The old man shook his head busily, thought about it, and said, "Even if you are crazy, don't commit suicide." ”

Qin Xianyu sighed: "What a Yinghuang Mountain, even a dragon and tiger real person has become like this." It seems that the seniors want a partner to talk to you to relieve your boredom. ”

The old man nodded faintly.

Qin Xianyu took a few steps forward, sat on the ground, and whispered, "It's okay, I can't get out left and right, so I'll talk to you." ”

The old man felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, this little Taoist priest had already entered the formation, could it be that he could disappear out of thin air?

Thinking like this, the old man smiled and sat beside him.

Qin Xianyu asked lightly: "The predecessors have seen two monks in the past, and the one in front of the monk should be with a girl." ”

The old man nodded, "Yes." (To be continued......)
