Chapter 189. 188. The old man living in seclusion by the river
"Am I in the underworld?"

Lian Xing woke up leisurely, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Chen Jiu with serious face and Xiao Zhao with worried face.

"Hey, you're dead too? Are you all dead?"

Chen Jiu rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, they're all dead, but you're unlucky. You got the animal path by lottery, and you'll probably become a cultivator in your next life."

"Is that so? It's pretty good."

A smile appeared on Lianxing's bloodless face.

"If I become a puppy, I won't be disgusted by my sister in the future, but what I want most is to become a flower, a tree, or a grass, so that I don't need my sister to support me, and I can bloom and sprout by myself, and I will live forever. In Yihua Palace."

Well, Chen Jiu is too lazy to hate a dying person.

To be honest, there is a high probability that Lian Xing's dream will come true.

Lying boards, buried in mountains and mountains, after a few years they become fertilizers, but don’t they turn into flowers, plants and trees.

"Brother Chen, there is smoke rising from the kitchen ahead, it looks like there is a family, let's go and stay overnight."

When the little shoemaker was collecting firewood, he found a house and ran back happily.

"Hey, the palace lord's sister is sick."

"Almost, she is dying, and she wants to be reborn as a pig in her next life."

He wasn't afraid that Lian Xing would be pissed off, because this girl fell asleep again at some point.

Chen Jiu hugged her across the waist.

"Walk."

It must be too late to return to Yihua Palace along the river, and Lian Xing's state probably only has more than a day to live.

Needless to say, if there is no way to save her in this day, then I can only prepare for her funeral.

Tang Naizi's tricks are really powerful, Chen Jiu is a little thankful that Xiao Zhao was not the one who got tricked.

The weather can change.

The sky was covered with dark clouds at some point, as if they were seeing Lian Xing off.

Chen Jiu and his party rushed to the house that the little shoemaker mentioned before the rain fell.

It's okay, the place is quite big, like a wild farmhouse.

However, there is a farmhouse popping up in the wilderness, which has the taste of a ghost movie.

"My fellow, borrow a place to shelter from the rain."

There was an old man in the room. After hearing the voice, he walked out slowly with a short black crutch.

"Come in, it's going to rain, this weather"

He stopped suddenly in the middle of his words, and looked at Chen Jiu with some hesitation.

Chen Jiu took out a piece of silver.

"A little heart, please trouble old man."

The old man didn't take the money, he didn't say a word, and the figure of the old man suddenly became taller.

Now anyone can see that this guy is definitely a hermit.

Chen Jiu didn't take back the hand holding the silver.

"This money, the old man has to take it!"

"Can't you accept it?"

"No charge!"

"Okay, the old man will accept it."

Hands as old as dead wood touched the ingot of silver, and the two of them handed and received money for a long time.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to accept this money."

"Why can't I accept it?"

"The old man lives well here and doesn't need money."

"Don't worry, old man, you will live a good life after receiving the money."

The conversation between these two people was like a riddle, which made the people behind Chen Jiu a little puzzled.

Chen Jiu also had no choice.

He didn't expect such a person to live in this hut. If he had known this, he definitely wouldn't have come here.

The old man's hand on crutches was sometimes tense and sometimes relaxed.

"The money has been collected, the two have nothing to do with each other?"

"Yes, the two have nothing to do with each other."

"it is good."

As if confirming that the pedestrians had no extra intentions, the old man didn't hesitate this time, took the money, turned around and led the people into the house.

The rain from the sky is also pouring down here, clattering, bringing a burst of coolness.

"The last rainy season in September."

The old man looked out of the house through the window.

That was the direction of the Minjiang River where Chen Jiu and the others came over just now.

"Young man, where are you going?"

Chen Jiu was also looking at the rain falling outside the house, and after hearing the old man's question, he gave a response.

"Back to the capital."

"It turned out to be returning to the capital."

The old man nodded.

"Walk by water?"

"Yes, let's go by water."

"Young man, I originally accepted your money. The old man and you should not owe each other, but it is best not to take the water these few days. The autumn flood is approaching, and the river is raging. It is common for boats to be destroyed. .”

When the little shoemaker heard it, he immediately agreed.

"Old man, you are right, our boat capsized."

"Oh, no wonder the girl is so unlucky."

The old man looked at Lian Xing, whose face was as pale as paper, and shook his head involuntarily.

"And a poor child."

Seeing him aiming at Lian Xing intentionally or unintentionally, Chen Jiu couldn't help but want to have a chat with him.

"Old man, can we talk?"

The old man on crutches shook his head quickly,
"That can't be done. The old man still wants to live a few more years. It's irrelevant to collect the money. Boy, don't push yourself."

This old man really has a solution?
Chen Jiu suddenly felt that the appearance of this invincible buddy in the village was just the right time.

He took out the only remaining Evil Emperor's blood.

"Can we talk now?"

The old man hesitated, he stared blankly at the pill in Chen Jiu's hand for a while, finally sighed, and sat next to Lian Xing.

After getting on the pulse, he shook his head.

"The old man didn't recruit."

Chen Jiu was a little disappointed.

But he still threw away the Evil Emperor's efforts.

"Send it to you."

The old man stretched out his hand and took the pill in his hand, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

"Actually, if the old man takes this medicine, he can only live a few more days. Giving it to the old man is really a waste."

"Would you like to pay me back?"

Chen Jiu was actually very curious why the other party lived in seclusion here. After all, he was supposed to be with his good friends in the original drama, but the old man probably wouldn't say it, and he didn't bother to ask.

It is estimated that it is a deviation caused by the magic world.

The old man stared at him blankly for a while, then chuckled lightly upon hearing this.

"You're interesting."

He wasn't talking about the medicine either.

It seems that everyone wants to live longer, even just for a while.

The old man probably took advantage of it, and he was a little embarrassed, so he took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Chen Jiu.

"Is this doll your little lover?"

"No."

Chen Jiu shook his head.

The old man spoke again.

"Important to you?"

Is it important?
It's really important.

Lian Xing went out with him, no matter what the reason was, if the second lord of the Yihua Palace died, he would never get the Ming Yu Gong in his life.

At the very least, Yaoyue definitely wouldn't make fun of him.

Chen Jiu felt helpless.

"It's very important."

Lying on the bed, Lian Xing's eyelids twitched inexplicably.

Chen Jiu and the old man sat quietly, thinking about each other.

a long time.

"The old man doesn't like to owe others. You take a cane and walk up the river for thirty miles, and then walk ten miles to the left. There is the intersection of the three rivers. There will be what you want inside."

The old man was silent for a while, then handed over his crutches, and took out another pair of parchment.

"The old man explained in advance, follow the route and don't get lost. Also, whether you can get the things alive depends on your own ability."

Chen Jiu took the cane and the parchment in a daze.

That's right, why didn't he expect that since the old man lived here, the nearby place must be the legendary place.

Here comes the question, is the level of Heaven and Human Realm really worthy of entering?
