Chapter 465 An Old Man By The Black River
As the sound of "咚咚咚" continued to sound, it became louder and closer... Xie Chen and the others also came to the location of the sound source.
After they came here, the three of Qiyin discovered that there were countless stone tablets here, all of which were engraved with dense strings of characters, and exuded wisps of Dao Rhyme.
But they can't read it, and they don't understand what the symbols on it mean.
And under one of the stone tablets, there stood an old man.
Holding a sledgehammer and a sharp awl, he was carving something on this huge stone tablet.
The three of Qi Yin were shocked.
I didn't expect that there were still people in such a place.
And there are so many talisman tablets. Could it be that... these talisman tablets were all carved by the old man in front of him alone?
The more the three of Qiyin thought about it, the more unbelievable they became.
Every time the old man hammered down, it seemed to hit their souls, making them feel concentrated, and even a tremor appeared in the bottom of their hearts.
Xie Chen gradually walked towards the old man...
He stood there without speaking, just glanced at the old man, and then looked at the talisman carved in front of him.
And the old man didn't seem to notice Xie Chen's arrival, he was still doing what he was doing.
After a while.
Xie Chen withdrew his gaze, and said to the old man, "It's been so long, don't you feel tired?"
Hearing Xie Chen's words, the old man was obviously stunned for a moment, the sledgehammer in his hand stopped, but soon continued to beat.
"I'm not tired, I'm used to it."
Xie Chen said: "Why don't you stop, it's okay to take a break once in a while."
The old man shook his head: "I can't stop, once I stop, I will probably forget it."
Hearing this, Xie Chen smiled lightly, and continued: "It's a good way, you engrave all your own memories, to prevent you from forgetting your true self."
"However, this is treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. If this continues, there will come a day when you will get lost here."
Hearing this, the sledgehammer in the old man's hand stopped in the air again.
On the other hand, Qi Yin, Patriarch Hongyun, and Zhang Dong looked dumbfounded, as if they were stupid.
They couldn't understand Xie Chen's conversation with the old man at all.
But there is one thing they seem to understand, that is, the words on the talisman tablets in front of them seem to be the old man's memory.
He engraved the memory of own to prevent himself from forgetting it one day.
But to engrave all the memories of own, what a huge amount of work, the three of them dare not imagine.
Then, the old man stopped, leaned against the talisman and sat down, sighing.
"There is no way to do this. He forced me to be like this, and I can't do anything to him."
"Now, I can only stay here, reluctantly giving birth."
Xie Chen smiled and said: "Then are you here to linger on? If so, then you might as well die early, maybe one day in the future, you will still have a chance to be born again."
"Hehehe..." The old man suddenly laughed, "You are right, this is a way, maybe one day, I will really walk on this path."
The old man sighed again and looked at Xie Chen.
"Where does Mr. come from?"
The old man couldn't see through Xie Chen's aura, but he had a feeling in his heart that the other party might be an existence even more powerful than himself.
Xie Chen smiled and said, "Same as you, but maybe a little taller than you."
Hearing this, the old man's eyes visibly trembled, as if he couldn't believe it.
He looked up at the list of alien beasts above the sky again, and it seemed to be clear.
"So that's the case, sir is really extraordinary."
"I prefer others to call me Palace Master."
The old man froze for a moment, then chuckled again: "Yes, Palace Master."
Xie Chen spoke again: "I can help you solve your problem."
"However, you have to join me. If there is a need, you have to help me do things in the future."
"this..."
The old man hesitated for a moment.
own problem, can Xie Chen really solve it? And let him join, this is really a bit...
"Is the Palace Master sure he can do it? You know, my problem is probably..."
Xie Chen interrupted him: "You just have to make a decision, and you don't need to think about the rest."
"You don't have to worry about being restrained. Usually, I don't need you to do anything. It's just that you have to respond when I need it."
"..."
The old man fell silent again.
Even if Xie Chen said so, he didn't agree to Xie Chen right now.
Seeing this, Xie Chen was not in a hurry.
"I'll give you a day to think about it. If you want, you can come to Temple of the Heavenly Dao to find me. With your ability, you should know where it is."
"However, you only have this one chance, don't wait until it's too late, so think about it carefully."
"..."
The old man remained silent and seemed to be in a tangle in his heart.
Xie Chen also ignored him, turned around and left, and said to Qi Yin and the others:
"Let's go, we should go back too."
The three of Qi Yin nodded, looked at the old man again, and then left here with Xie Chen.
Looking at Xie Chen's receding figure, the old man sighed again...
Left the Black River.
Qi Yin finally couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart, and asked Xie Chen: "Master, who is that old man, it seems that you know him very well?"
Zhang Dong and Patriarch Hongyun also showed curious expressions.
It seems that Xie Chen came out this time just for this old man.
"You've seen it too. I'm like you, and it's the first time I've seen him today." Xie Chen explained.
"However, I do know his identity. He is the Heavenly Dao of the Yousheng Continent."
Hearing this, Qi Yin and the three nodded.
It turns out that this old man is Heavenly Dao from Yousheng Continent, no wonder I can't understand the characters he carved on the stele, presumably they are also Heavenly Dao's characters.
"..."
Time seems to stop, The next moment.
"ah?!!!"
Qi Yin, Zhang Dong, and Patriarch Hongyun stopped in their tracks, opened their eyes and mouth wide, and immediately froze in place!
...
On the other side, Mingdu Ancestral Shore.
Countless ghosts lingered here, and the normal wandering ghosts suddenly became flustered and panicked.
In the depths of that ancestral bank, behind a gate of void, the owner of Mingdu ancestral bank opened his eyes.
"This is...!"
The master of Mingdu Ancestral Bank seemed to have noticed something, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Immediately, her eyes passed through the void gate and looked in one direction.
oh?
Xie Chen was surprised in his heart, and seemed to be aware of it.
He stopped in his tracks, and looked in one direction...
