Chapter 259
Lin Tianlu poured a cup of warm tea for himself and the old man, lightly said with a smile: "Old Mister has a gentle and simple temperament, so how can he be impolite? Please sit down. Old people with inconvenience in their legs and feet have to rest more, so as to avoid the recurrence of chronic illness and unbearable pain."
As soon as these words came out, the old man's face showed a bit of surprise.
But he couldn't help but shook his head and lost said with a smile: "The young man really is completely different from ordinary people.
My fierce face, the tourists who came through by accident must have been scared when they saw it. After two battles, I didn’t dare to stay too much at will. Even the self-proclaimed bandits and villains dare not come close at night, for fear that I would cramp them."
"If they can sit down and have a good conversation with Old Mister, they may be able to change this impression."
Lin Tianlu gave a chuckle, and said, "Old Mister has a fierce face, But in fact, I have words on my chest, and I am even more insightful in life. It is also due to fate to meet Old Mister in the mountains."
"Hey, how did the young man see it?" I have some literary talents?"
"Look at the cocoons worn out between the Old Mister finger bones and the manner of walking, and you will know that I must have been a scholar in the past."
Lin Tianlu speaks eloquently. Talking: "Although the surroundings of this Inn are dilapidated, if you look closely, you can find that everything is clean and tidy, and there are not many sloppy stains. There are also a lot of flowers and plants deliberately planted outside the door, which shows that Old Mister's temperament is still quite delicate."
As he said, the very vicious and strange old man in front of him is not a vicious weird person.
It is really just an old man living in seclusion among the mountains and forests.
"The young man is really good."
The old man couldn't help but praised: "I've been here for more than a decade, and this is the first time I have seen you such a handsome scholar.
p>
Wait a moment, I'll go to the kitchen to cut up some wine and side dishes for you. It just so happens that I still have a pot of sake to taste, let's sit down and talk slowly!"
With that said, he quickly walked back to the back kitchen with the help of the counter in the dark.
……
Not long after, this white-bearded old man walked back happily with a side dish and a hip flask.
He smiled and poured two cups of warm sake and sniffed it lightly. Only the old man’s kind and joyous expression appeared on the originally fierce face: "This winter can taste this sip Warm wine, I really feel comfortable all over."
Lin Tianlu glanced at these small dishes. Although they are simple, the ingredients are quite good in the mountains and wilds.
"Many thanks Old Mister for the hospitality."
"The young man gave the meal, what can I say about this side dish."
The old man smashed his mouth, recalling the warm smell of wine in his mouth, said curiously: "I just don't know what you want to know?"
"Why did Old Mister open such an Inn alone in this mountain and field? "
Lin Tianlu wondered: "Not to mention whether the business is booming, but there are almost no people in this area of several li, and it is very troublesome to want to live alone."
" Why do you ask--"
The old man grinned: "It's just because my children have died long ago, and my wife has passed away for many years, so I just settled here alone. There is nothing to do, I just want to be quiet. "
Lin Tianlu looked slightly startled, and quickly bowed his hands to apologize.
But the old man quickly smiled and waved his hand: "This matter is more than ten years ago, and I have already let go.
Although there are many troubles in normally, But it’s quite satisfying to open an Inn between the mountains and wilds, and occasionally help some lost travellers."
Lin Tianlu said with a serious face: "Old Mister can be so open-minded, and there are some who live in seclusion outside the world. This kind of heart is really worthy of admiration."
"You don't have to boast my old fogey so selfless and fearless."
But the old man took a sip of warm wine at this time. , Sighed with self-deprecation: "The reason why he moved out of Zhenxian County is because the old man was afraid of his heart and only wanted to live, so he escaped to this wilderness and ridge land, and lived for ten years."
"Fear...Is there any bully in the nearby local towns and counties, or are corrupt officials oppressing the local people?"
"If this is the case, I should have waived it in the first place?"
I went out of my life to visit relatives and friends, traveled across the mountains to Beijing to file a complaint, how could you live in seclusion here?"
The old man screamed and rubbed his thigh: "young man, you I can see why I walked crookedly, and now I still have such a wicked face?"
Lin Tianlu frowned suddenly: "Could it be that the death of the Old Mister family is the same as what happened to you? It came from..."
"Thirteen years ago, it was a huge fire."
The old man seemed to recall the long past, pondered then said: "At that time, the fire For days, it seemed that a small part of the county was caught in the fire, and countless people wailed and fled. At that time, I was also trapped in the fire sea. I watched the neighbours who used to laugh and swear struggling to escape, fainting from exhaustion, and finally being fired. Engulfed by the sea.
Similarly, I looked at my two hard-for-life children and their families... they were overwhelmed by the collapsed houses and no one would survive."
"young Man, you may not believe it."
The old man lowered his turbid eyes: "At that time, I was so distraught that I just wanted to die together, but when I was looking up to the sky and wanting to scream in anger, the fire sea was full of smoke. The sky above the moving night...I saw two men walking on air."
"They sprinkled the Fire Dragon while waving their hands, like immortal coming to the world, making half of the towns and counties It was completely transformed into a fire sea, thousands of county residents were burned alive. And all these tragedies were insignificant in the eyes of the two'immortal' like ants that were trampled out."
"They still exist Exerting incomprehensible means, on the thick fog of covering the heavens, shielding the sun, a large array that can envelop the entire town emerges. The lines are so complicated that it makes people unimaginable. The depth makes people unable to hold the slightest thought of resistance, and the knees pressed down want to bend to the ground. "
"Even if I managed to survive this fire, I understand that this world may not be as simple as it used to be." Only this wounded leg and this withered and twisted face are left...Hey! Maybe it's really like the ugly expression I showed at the beginning. "
Lin Tianlu heard the great changes in the past, his face became more and more solemn.
Although the nearest Huangfeng County is close to the border of Western Horse County, it is far from Changling. The county is not too far away.
This monstrous fire that almost destroyed half of the towns and counties, even if ten years or so has passed, why has he never heard of any clues?
After all, when he first came to Changling County, in order to prove the existence of demons and monsters, he deliberately collected a lot of these homicide accidents, but there was nothing related to Huangfeng County.
One of these maybe
"Hey! The young man does not need to take seriously, the words I just said may just be the illusion of my old age and accidental sight.
However, after all these years, I dare not return to Huangfeng County for half a step, and I have simply lived here for a long time. "
The old man was mocking himself and pouring alcohol, but Lin Tianlu suddenly opened the mouth and said: "These sensational things Old Mister said, I am willing to believe. "
"en?"
The old man was surprised: "Really believe my old fogey's words? "
"Frankly, I have seen several very strange and unpredictable homicide mutations in the next few days, all of which are far beyond human ability. "
Lin Tianlu quickly said several changes in a simple way, and the old man's expression changed.
"Sure enough, all of this is true..."
"So, can Old Mister tell me the clues I still remember that day? "
"Ten years have passed, I have forgotten a lot. But you have any clues..."
The old man said with a gloomy face: "The old man was extremely mad at the time when his spouse and child were lost. In those years, he went through countless ancient books to find out and compare those big formations. Diagram The lines of the case, and some suspicious handwriting, indeed come to some conclusions. "
Lin Tianlu said, "Old Mister, please say." "
"Netherworld, thirty-six evil deities will want to shake the sky." "
"Dragon Vein moves, the Millennium Ancient Race plots to seize the universe." "
"And--"
The old man hesitated for a moment, and whispered hoarsely: "The seven peaks are aligned, borrowing the power of Heaven and Earth nine stars. The Secret Realm of the eight races of common people was opened at the blood sacrifice of 100,000 people. "
Chapter 285: The county town is secret, so you can turn it around.
Tone barely fell, and the old man stroked his beard and laughed:
"young man also Don't take too seriously, it's just that I was thinking about it for a while. What is the meaning of this and where it comes from? Even I don't remember clearly when this person is old. "
"I am satisfied that the elderly can accompany me to talk about these things in my heart." "
Lin Tianlu cupped the hands with a smile.
It’s just that his mind is constantly thinking.
After all, the Netherworld and Dragon Vein matters are obviously both It is not fabricated.
Now it seems that those demons have started to take action ten years ago, planning some extremely dangerous conspiracies in secret.
And
He glanced at the side of the old man’s thigh without a trace. Upon closer inspection, he could vaguely see a faintly dark aura, wrapped around his skeleton like a tarsal bone. He must have accidentally touched someone in the first place. Some filth exists.
Although it will not bring any obvious disability, the pain is obviously unbearable for ordinary people.
"However, I can remind you young man more. . "
The old man's tone became quite serious and low: "If you want to leave Western Horse County, it's best to bypass Huangfeng County. Although I have rarely been close to that county town in recent years, there are still some demons and ghosts in the city, and I'm far away from some and I've encountered some bad things. "
"I just saw that the accompanying two girls are both young and want to come to marry you soon." For the sake of wives and concubines, it is better to do more than to do less. "
"Many thanks, the elderly are concerned and urged." "
"You are too polite... It's rare to meet you such young, talented people, I can't help but Aluminum Flash Tong!
The old man took a sip of the warm wine and smacked his lips: "It's better to talk about this short family thing, maybe I can give you some more suggestions to the young man. As for those gods and ghosts, I only have to Can I persuade you to avoid more."
Lin Tianlu lost said with a smile: "How about the old man telling me about the many things he has seen over the years? I drove the Inn in this wilderness, and I have also encountered many interesting things when I want to come. Something."
The old man couldn't help but sighed, his eyes were fascinated:
"Yes, there are indeed a lot..."
The lights are faint, cold wind The voice of conversation and emotion remains in the whistling Inn. As for the rise, the old man had never noticed his dry and painful right leg, and he did not know when he had gradually recovered completely.
……
The next morning.
After everyone bid farewell to the old man, the party soon set off again, and the carts and horses moved forward slowly.
While in the driving seat outside the carriage, Lin Tianlu stroked the soft hair of the moon white fox in his arms, and muttered in a deep voice: "For the time being, the so-called Thirty-Six Evil Venerable and the Thousand-Year Ancient Race. According to the old man, there was a terrible tragedy in Huangfeng County, and countless deaths and injuries were just to open a Secret Realm channel? ""It needs such a huge Divine Soul to be alive, and the scale of its ceremony is definitely different. Generally speaking, it may be more dangerous than the dark journey you and I experienced in Jianggai County."
Sitting on the side, Yang Chanzhen allowed the breeze to touch Qingsi, with a calm expression: "It's just me." I haven’t received any incidents related to Huangfeng County during the years. I thought it was not done by the people of Luo Xing, or by the many forces on the surface."
"Does Miss Yang know the Millennium Ancient Race? And what is the Secret Realm of the eight races..."
"The specific situation is not known for the time being, and it was unheard-of in the past. But the Secret Realm of the eight races may be related to ancient things."
>"I mentioned to Tianlu you that there were eight races thousands of years ago, but they gradually disappeared with the change of times." The cloud h in his arms suddenly opened the mouth and said: "That The so-called Secret Realm may be related to them."
Lin Tianlu brows slightly wrinkle: "The trouble is really a lot." The times have been eliminated, but now it seems... it will still bring a lot of troubles to future generations.
"Mr. Lin is going to see the situation in Huangfeng County?"
Yang Chanzhen's purple eyes moved slightly, looking far away from the official road, as the winter mist dissipated, he could vaguely See the outline of the town in Huangfeng County in the distance.
"Even if the fire happened seriously, it has been ten years ago. It's probably a costly project to find the roots. Those who committed crimes are even more impossible. They have been staying in Huangfeng for ten years. Let us trace it in the county. We might as well go to Wuchang Province first and then look back--"
Lin Tianlu was about to continue speaking, suddenly he whispered, and looked not far away from the forest.
Weird noises gradually resounded in the originally quiet woods, as if someone was screaming and screaming, but it was not very real.
"It seems that Huangfeng County is not peaceful."
After a while, I saw a silhouette rushing out of the bushes, dressed quite eagerly. Expensive and exquisite jackets and long skirts, it seems that the family conditions are very good.
It’s just that this Eldest Young Lady is now running away in a panic, with mud, sand, dust, and a little bit of blood on her face, as if she had just experienced an escape alive. The delicate and pretty face, which was originally quite correct, is now filled with horror. The face is deathly pale, and tears flow continuously from the corners of his eyes.
"Help, help...Run away!"
The cry for help that had just blurted out suddenly stopped, and the rich lady hurriedly turned around and shouted, "Quickly escape!"
Stay away!"
Lin Tianlu gently pulled the reins, let the carriage stop slowly, raised his head and looked at the sky: "The setting sun, these demons can indeed move freely outside."
"The demons wandering in the suburbs, most of them are not restricted by any etiquette and law, and naturally do as one pleases to ruin those passers-by."
Yang Chanzhen's voice is slightly ethereal and magnificent as jade His purple eyes looked forward flatly.
When the gloomy cold wind circulated and gathered, I saw a rickety disheveled hair man crawling out of the ground with a strange smile. The corners of his mouth and the fingers of both hands were still dripping with scarlet blood. Scary and terrifying.
"Want to escape? Neither she nor you guys can escape me..."
"Tell me, is there something wrong in Huangfeng County recently?"
"Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhqhhqhhqhhqjijijiqjijijijijijijijiu.com
When did the white-faced scholar who was sitting on the carriage appear next to him? !
"You, how could you—"
"Now is not the time to pretend to be stupid."
Lin Tianlu tone barely fell, his eyes dimmed Moving, as if he had already felt it, he flicked away the edge that had been secretly cut from the shadow behind him. With both hands, he took advantage of the trend and directly pinched the necks of the two demons at the front and back.
