The Emperor Crawling Out of the Grave

Chapter 1056: The price of eternal life

The old man picked up a tea bowl, filled it with decoction, and brought it to Xiao Chen.

Looking at Xiao Chen, the old man smiled kindly, "Little guy, drink it, your injury will soon heal."

Xiao Chen looked suspiciously at the nine-tailed monster next to him.

The nine-tailed demon fox nodded and talked about the ins and outs of the matter.

In fact, it was very simple. After the sun rose completely, the old man appeared and brought them back to this thatched hut, who were seriously injured and dying.

Xiao Chen took the tea bowl and blew it gently.

Liu Su Mingyue flapped her transparent wings, drooling at the bowl in Xiao Chen's hand.

Seeing Liu Su Mingyue's naive look, Xiao Chen's mood instantly improved.

"Come on?" Xiao Chen stretched the tea bowl to Liu Su Mingyue's mouth.

"Huh!" Liu Su Mingyue rubbed her red eyes, pouted, and twisted her head away.

Xiao Chen smiled and shook his head. This girl is probably mad at herself again.

Xiao Chen poured the black soup medicine in one gulp, and instantly felt relieved all over the body when he entered the soup medicine, and his whole body was a little fluttering.

"Thank you." Xiao Chen nodded softly to the old man.

"It's okay, it's all about the effort." The old man sighed and took the tea bowl in Xiao Chen's hand.

Looking at the old man's rickety back, Xiao Chen felt a little sad for no reason, "What is the name of the old man?"

The old man sat back on the bench, took out a dry pipe, and started smoking it.

The light blue smoke curled up, making the old man's face a little unreal.

The old man gently knocked his cigarette stick on the stool, and looked at the sunlight outside the house, and said with nostalgia: "Old man in the mountains, a long, long time ago, everyone called me that."

The master of the ancestor tree, this answer was unexpected, but it was reasonable.

Xiao Chen nodded and asked, "What the **** is going on in this world? Also, what do you mean by those two sentences?"

"Ashamed to say." The old man sighed again. "What the **** is going on in this world, the old man hasn't figured it out yet."

"As for those two sentences, haha..." The old man said with a sad smile.

"Is this the best place?" The old man's hand holding the cigarette rod suddenly burst into blue veins and his face was full of anger.

"This is indeed the best place. Every creature that comes here will have the right to immortality."

Immortality, a topic that will never be outdated by the practitioners, there are so many taboos and great horrors hidden here, but there really is immortality here.

"Then what does it mean that this is the worst place?" Nine-Tailed Monster Fox said with a puzzled face.

The old man's expression calmed down, and he gently shook his head and said, "You have experienced it yourself, you will lose everything except eternal life when you come here."

"Lose everything, and then I can only watch my body get old day by day, but the body is getting old and not dying."

"You will no longer be able to practice, you will become a mortal, you will feel lonely, lonely and hungry."

At this point, the old man's body trembled slightly.

"There is almost nothing to eat here. I can only endure endless hunger and loneliness. Immortality has given us a body that will not die. We never die from starvation. Suicide has become a luxury."

"Because even if you turn to ashes, you will be resurrected someday and endure the endless hunger and loneliness again."

The face of the nine-tailed demon fox was pale, this is where immortality is, this is simply a curse.

Watching my body get old day by day, my skin becomes full of wrinkles, my hair becomes thinner, my joints become stiff, my eyes become muddy, I endure hunger and loneliness.

What a horror it is to endure the endless destruction of the spiritual world by this world.

Xiao Chen nodded, "This is the price of eternal life."

The old man also nodded, "It's not worth it."

"Then how did you get through it?" Xiao Chen asked curiously.

The old man's mental state is good, and his body is not bad. Xiao Chen doesn't believe that a person can spend such endless lonely years with a mortal body without going crazy.

Xiao Chen is a very active person. If Xiao Chen stays at home for a few months without any entertainment and has to endure hunger, Xiao Chen feels that he will definitely become mentally ill, let alone spend endless years here. Up.

The old man pointed to the enlightened tea tree outside the door, with a smile on his face.

"It was the ancestor tree who helped me. Before going crazy, the old man went into the trunk of the ancestral tree and went to sleep, and occasionally woke up. The old man remembers that the last time I woke up, I met a young man who came here by mistake, old man Give the young man a bowl of tea."

Xiao Chen nodded, the Mo family ancestor's matter was right.

Xiao Chen suddenly felt that something was wrong again, and asked, "Since you know that this is hell, why do you still tell the young man the opening time of the destiny heaven?"

Previously, the Patriarch of the Mo family had told himself the specific time and place of the opening of the Kingdom of Destiny.

Since the news was left by the ancestors of the Mo family, it also meant that the news was probably told by the old man in front of him.

The old man shook his head: "The old man never told the young man."

"Then where did the Mo family ancestor's news come from?" Xiao Chen frowned.

The old man thought for a while and explained: "The conditions for the opening of the Destiny Kingdom are traceable. If you are proficient in mathematics and good at deduction, you have a great chance of capturing the opening time and place of the Destiny Kingdom."

Xiao Chen nodded, the reason made sense.

Then Xiao Chen looked outside, the sun was just right, and he rolled over and got out of bed, ready to go outside to bask in the sun.

The nine-tailed demon fox hurried up to support Xiao Chen, with a distressed expression on his face: "Don't go out."

Xiao Chen waved his hand: "It's okay, the old man's medicine is very useful."

The nine-tailed demon fox had no choice but to help Xiao Chen to come outside.

Sitting on a rock basking in the sun, Xiao Chen asked, "How can those people become that ghost?"

The people in Xiao Chen's mouth were nothing but the dark shadows he met last night.

After Xiao Chen solved the plan on the spot last night, he found that the dark shadows were actually human beings.

Yes, it is not a monster, but a living person.

The old man took a pot of brewed tea and sat beside Xiao Chen.

"Hey!" The old man sighed, poured a bowl of tea for Xiao Chen, and whispered softly: "It's crazy."

Xiao Chen gently smelled the fragrance of the tea, and shook his head: "No, it's not just as simple as being crazy."

The old man was stunned, a little at a loss: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Chen took a sip of the tea waterway gently: "They are evolving, they are evolving into another species."

"Evolution?" The old man was a little confused, he didn't quite understand what Xiao Chen meant.

Xiao Chen smiled, "This place is very interesting."
