Ye Chuan was a little curious and turned around to look at the old and the young carefully.
The little boy felt uneasy and even more shy, holding the old man's hand tightly. The old man was very calm, facing Ye Chuan's doubtful gaze calmly, with a kind smile on his face. The old and the young were all haggard and dusty, as if they had traveled thousands of miles across mountains and rivers.
"It took a lot of effort to get here, old man, why don't you go in?" Ye Chuan asked, secretly guessing the identities of the old and the young.
The little boy is still very young and has just embarked on the path of cultivation. He is probably only at the first level of a warrior. The old man was very old, so old that his age could no longer be discerned. He seemed to have lived for seven or eight hundred years, but his cultivation didn't look very good. He was at least a real person. Ye Chuan really couldn't figure out how the two of them got here. The Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, the Ghost King's chess game, the side palace facing the Heavenly Palace, and the overwhelming poisonous fog. Which of these places is not a dangerous area? How did the two of them, young and old, get here
"Young Master, didn't you go in too?" The old man smiled. There was no trace of hostility or murderous intent in him. His face was kind, just like an old man next door who had seen through the worldly affairs. He spoke weakly, as if he was very tired after coming here, and he seemed too old to be able to walk anymore.
Ye Chuan smiled and stood up, becoming more and more curious about the identities of the old and the young. All sect disciples and casual cultivators who break into the cave world are indifferent, vigilant and wary towards each other. It is rare for an old man to be like this, "Old man, are you waiting for someone?"
"Yes, I'm waiting for someone." The old man replied.
"who?"
Ye Chuan looked around, and in the deadly poisonous mist rolling up and down, there were paths leading into the distance, but everything that was coming had already arrived, and no one was seen coming. Judging from the time, Zhu Sijia and others who stayed outside should have gone away.
"Waiting for you." The old man replied.
"What? Wait for me?" Ye Chuan was surprised.
"Yes, just waiting for you."
The old man's voice was weak and weak, and he looked at Ye Chuan with a pair of dim eyes, "Master, can I ask you something?"
"Say." Ye Chuan neither agreed nor refused.
"Help me take Xiao Long'er to the Demon Dragon Palace at the end of this cave world." The old man got straight to the point without beating around the bush. He looked at Ye Chuan unblinkingly with prayer and expectation.
"Why are you looking for me?"
Ye Chuan paused and said: "The masters from all walks of life who have broken into the cave world are more numerous and powerful than me. For example, Tuoba Xiong, the master of the Xuanding Sect, and the elder of the Wudun Sect. Feng Ninja, there are many big shots, and there are many masters. Old man, I am just an ordinary person who can't protect myself, why don't I go to them?"
"Because you are different from others. Realm is one aspect. Morality and talent are more important. Besides, realm does not mean everything. Didn't the arrogant Murong family's Young Master Zhuifeng in the capital suffer a huge defeat at his hands?"
The old man spoke weakly, as if he was exhausted, but his speech was clear and his seemingly cloudy eyes were very bright. He had already gone to the Chaotian Palace and secretly noticed Ye Chuan's every move, so he came prepared.
"My moral character is not very good either. They all say that I am very bad and a bad person. There are so many people who wish I had died earlier." Ye Chuan smiled and did not agree to the old man's request.
The cave world is filled with murderous threats every step of the way, and it becomes more and more dangerous as you go to the back. There is no telling what kind of danger there is in the Demon Dragon Path. Ye Chuan doesn't even dare to bring Zhu Sijia and Fatty in because he can't guarantee their safety. If you bring a child who is only seven or eight years old, there is no guarantee.
"Usually, people who say they are bad people can't be any worse no matter how bad they are. People who say they are good people and give people the impression of high moral character are often scarier than the devil." The old man is really too old. , every word he said was full of philosophy of life, his eyes were always looking at Ye Chuan, "Young man, Xiao Long'er is very good, he never gets into trouble, he is the most well-behaved and obedient. Promise me, take Xiao Long'er with you and help us. Are you okay?"
"grandfather… "
The little boy cowered behind the old man, a little shy and uneasy, and seemed to feel something again. He hid behind the old man and secretly glanced at Ye Chuan, like a frightened and helpless little lamb, holding the old man's hand tightly.
Ye Chuan was silent. For a moment, he suddenly didn't know what to say.
It was impossible to take this little boy with him to explore the cave world. It would not guarantee his safety, and it would also harm himself. But looking at this helpless old man and young man, facing their sincere, expectant and helpless eyes, how can I refuse
The old man didn't speak, quietly waiting for Ye Chuan's reply.
After a long silence, Ye Chuan sighed, still unable to help, "Old man, I'm sorry, it's too dangerous in the cave world. If nothing else, this little boy will die if he gets even a trace of the poisonous mist around him. I'll fix it Due to limitations, I really can't take him with me. Even I myself will be in danger after stepping into the Demonic Dragon Path. If you two have no other choice, you can leave the cave world and go to the nearby Yunwu Sect to find a man named Zhu Sijia. If you are a woman, just say that I asked you to go, and she will make appropriate arrangements."
"We won't go anywhere else, only to the end of the cave world."
The old man rejected Ye Chuan's kindness, took a breath, and said: "Young man, you don't have to worry about the restrictions in the cave world. All the restrictions here will not harm Xiao Long'er. The deadly poisonous mist can't harm Xiao Long'er either. A hair on your head. We are not afraid of restrictions, we are afraid of people. Xiao Longer, stretch out your hand and let the young master see it."
"good."
The little boy nodded obediently and suddenly reached into the deadly poisonous mist. Ye Chuan's eyelids twitched, and it was too late to stop him. The next moment, he was stunned.
The deadly poisonous mist rolled up and down, and anything made of flesh and blood would turn into a puddle of blood as soon as it touched it. However, the little boy's hand was not damaged at all. The poisonous mist that can corrupt a real-world master into a skeleton of white bones in an instant has no effect on this little boy!
It turns out that’s the case. No wonder the old and the young have come here!
No, no, the old man said that all the restrictions in the cave world will not harm this little boy. What is going on and what does it mean
Ye Chuan came back to his senses, but quickly fell into new doubts. He had a vague feeling that the old man and the young man were very important and would play a key role in his journey to the cave world.
Ye Chuan stopped thinking about the pattern on the door frame. After studying it for a long time, he couldn't find any mystery. He turned to look at the old and the young carefully. The old one is simple, the young one is strange, even strange. If you look closely, you can see that this little boy's face is a little different from ordinary people. He has a plump sky, a protruding forehead, a big head, and a pair of eyes that are so clear that there is no trace of darkness or evil, just like a boy. A piece of pure white paper.
Ye Chuan became more and more fascinated as he watched, and became even more curious about the identity of this old man and young man.
