Being stared at by the old beggar, Wang Yan felt as though his whole body was being seen through. He just felt uncomfortable, but he had nothing to do with this situation, and it was even more difficult to avoid being questioned.
"Pin Dao Dian Qingzi is a Taoist who travels around the world. He passed by this place today, but he strayed into the temple without thinking about it, disturbing the old gentleman's dream. Pindao apologizes here, and I hope the old gentleman will not take offense. !"
Wang Yan said, and bowed to him again with a calm expression.
It is not easy to make judgments until the identity of the other party is unknown, but in the current situation, this person should be an existence that he cannot afford to offend, no matter where he is sacred, it is always good to be cautious.
"Hahaha! It's okay, the broken temple was originally an unowned place, and everyone can come in. The old man just passed by here by chance, and temporarily rested in the temple. The Taoist priest doesn't have to be so polite!"
The old beggar suddenly laughed twice and explained.
"Since we meet, it is fate. I have good wine here, and I am worried that no one will accompany me. The Taoist priest is here, why not drink a few cups together?"
He patted the gourd wrapped around the cane with a smile on his face.
"This... but it's not right! Pindao and the old gentleman are only meeting for the first time, disturbing the good dream of the old gentleman, it is already a sin, how dare to ask the old gentleman to buy a good wine? Don't bother, I'll have a chance to drink with the old gentleman someday."
Wang Yan did not agree to his invitation, and only wanted to get away.
First of all, the old beggar looked too mysterious, and he didn't know each other well. When they first met, they invited him to drink. Who knew what medicine was sold in the gourd, and he didn't care about these few sips of wine.
When I came here, I had business to do, not just drinking and talking with people. In addition, I had to guard against others, so I really shouldn't be careless.
Since you can't figure out the other party's ways, then there is no need to talk to him, or it is better to cause less trouble, and simply leave with an excuse.
"That's it! Since that's the case, the Dao Chief please do it!"
The old beggar didn't say much, just hugged the gourd, leaned on crutches, sighed softly, and walked towards the hall on a crutch.
"Alas! The fine wine! It's a pity to enjoy it!"
I don't know if he was talking to Wang Yan on purpose, or if he was talking to himself. After entering the hall, in the blink of an eye, the old beggar disappeared without a trace, and even Wang Yan didn't respond.
Wang Yan quickly walked to the door of the main hall and looked inside, but it was empty and there was nothing, and he couldn't help being shocked for a while.
"This old man is definitely very human!"
Wang Yan thought so in his heart, and his brows could not help frowning slightly.
In this old man, Wang Yan could not sense any strange aura. He was simply an ordinary person, but ordinary people would not disappear out of thin air, nor would he trip over him, and he had not noticed it at all.
If it is said that he is a monster, although it is not impossible, but he did not take action against himself, it can be seen that he should have no malicious intentions.
He can stumble upon him when he is highly vigilant, or even disappear out of thin air in front of him, but he can't react. Based on these two points alone, if he really wants to harm himself, then he has no resistance at all. , In the eyes of others, the Taoism of the immortals is completely unworthy of mention.
This unremarkable old beggar, his cultivation is much higher than him, but he doesn't know his identity and origin, let alone whether he is an enemy or a friend!
Wang Yan patrolled the temple for a week, but he never saw the figure of the old beggar and found no useful clues. In desperation, he had no choice but to give up, without hesitation, he turned and left immediately.
However, he had just stepped out of the door, and between his legs, a strong wind suddenly blew from his feet, with full strength, he brushed his Taoist robe up, Wang Yan lowered his head and glanced at it, only to see four words written on the ground in front of him. big print.
"Stop, go down the mountain!"
The strokes of these four large characters are rough, but full of charm, and they are very artistic, and at the same time, a high-spirited temperament permeates them.
Wang Yan was startled, turned his head abruptly, and looked into the ruined temple.
"Old gentleman, although I don't know who you are, and I don't think you are your opponent, but Pindao also has a word to tell me, I can't turn back before I achieve my goal, and I hope the old gentleman can forgive me."
Wang Yan bowed towards the broken temple, bowed his head, and strode forward.
Naturally, he didn't follow the old beggar's wishes to go down the mountain. He continued to follow the mountain road and headed for the deeper part of Jinli Mountain, and the further he went, the more strange things he encountered, which made him unable to stop.
Originally, he just wanted to search the entire mountain thoroughly to see if he could find anything. Even if he couldn't find what the White Lotus Sect was looking for, he could at least explore the terrain, and wait for the White Lotus Sect to enter the mountain to look for it. At times, it can also take the lead without being too passive.
But now, along the way, all kinds of strange things he encountered have changed his mind and strengthened the guess in his heart.
What the White Lotus Sect is looking for is very unusual, and it must be in the Jinli Mountain. If they are really allowed to get it, I am afraid the consequences will be disastrous.
"Ow..."
The cloud came from the dragon, the wind came from the tiger, and a gust of stench came towards him, accompanied by two tiger roars. In front of the road, from the bushes on the left and right sides, two big worms with hanging eyes and white foreheads jumped out immediately, looking at Wang Yan eagerly.
Sure enough, he encountered a beast blocking his way again.
In fact, in the previous journey, I have encountered this kind of thing no less than twice. The first time was five wolves, the second time was a colorful python, and now I encountered two fierce tigers. This is obviously not a coincidence.
His vitality is exuding, how powerful is the coercion, ordinary poisonous insects and beasts will not dare to approach him when they see him, and can only flee from afar.
But these wolves, giant pythons, and fierce tigers blocked his path one by one, even if he knew he was losing, he would still block him.
Wang Yan couldn't help but wonder, what was the reason for them to stop their progress even at the cost of their own lives
What are they maintaining? Who do you obey
Everything implied that in the depths of the mountain, there was a treasure hidden in the world. Although he didn't know what it was, so many beasts tried their best to stop him from approaching. This alone was enough. See, that thing is no trivial matter, making all things surrender.
These poisonous worms and beasts are good enough to scare mortals, but in his eyes, they seem a bit unsightly, and they can be destroyed at the touch of a finger, so there is no need to waste time on this, it is more important to find that thing.
The more obstacles in front of him, the more excited he is, because in this way he can accurately find the position. These poisonous beasts, the unintentional obstacles, on the contrary, guide him in the direction. It is a bit ridiculous to think about the future.
