Lao Niu shook his head and said: "No, if this is Nian'er's own choice, then I will definitely respect everything and will never disturb him."
"But when those monsters appeared, they didn't give Nian'er any choice at all. Nian'er didn't even have time to say a few words to me, and was taken away like this."
Lin Fan understood in his heart, and then said: "Just stay in this inn and wait quietly in this place. No one will make things difficult for you here."
"As for Nian'er's matter, just wait for the news. Sword Ling, you and Yue Lingxiao go to the mountain to take a look. If you find anything, come back and tell us."
"good."
"yes."
Yue Lingxiao and Jian Ling immediately left the inn without any hesitation.
Lao Niu watched the two people fly away, feeling more hopeful in his heart.
He is an ordinary person after all. If there is an immortal willing to help him do these things, then Nian'er will definitely be able to come back safely.
After leaving the room, Shui Ruoqing frowned slightly and said, "Lin Fan, there is an aura of chess pieces in that direction."
Lin Fan smiled slightly and said: "Yes, not only does the direction of the mountain have the aura of chess pieces, but also this village. It seems that this Nian'er has some connection with the eternal chessboard."
If it hadn't been for this reason, Lin Fan wouldn't have gone to such great lengths.
Mountain.
A barrier was set up around a cave, and there was a teenage boy inside, who was exactly the Nian'er that Lao Niu was talking about.
I saw Nian'er holding a delicate box in his hand, constantly pouring some spiritual power into the box, while he looked pale and weak.
An old man walked to the entrance of the cave and said coldly: "Nian'er, don't forget your mission. You must open this box."
"Only in this way can we obtain such a treasure and allow our people to truly flourish. As for what happened to you in the mortal world, just forget about it all."
"That's just a big dream. No matter what price those people pay, they will never have anything to do with you again. You must always remember your identity!"
Hearing this, Nian'er frowned slightly and said timidly: "Where is that uncle?"
The old man said with anger: "What uncle! You were born to open this box. Don't say I didn't remind you. If this box cannot be opened, those people will have to pay the price."
"I can forgive them for your sake, or I can not embarrass them, but today this box must be opened."
"Otherwise, starting from tomorrow, I will capture a mortal every day and let this person suffer all kinds of torture in front of you. It's up to you to have fun!"
After saying this, the old man left this place temporarily.
Anyway, with this barrier, Nian'er can't escape.
Furthermore, Nian'er is very kind, and he is even more grateful to the uncle who brought him up. This has become his biggest weakness. The old man looked at Nian'er in front of him, recalling some things that happened to Nian'er's father during his lifetime, and felt even more angry.
But the top priority now is to get the legendary ancient treasure, and among the entire family, only Nian'er's spiritual power can do this.
The old man had a plan in mind. After Nian'er exhausted all his spiritual power and opened the box, he would no longer be of any use.
Although this place is remote, it is not difficult to find. Soon Yue Lingxiao and Jian Ling found their way outside the barrier.
Yue Lingxiao whispered: "Sword Spirit, you must be careful. I feel a very powerful force, which is somewhat similar to Lin Fan's. I don't know who this Nian'er is."
Sword Spirit said in a deep voice: "I don't know what that old cow is obsessed with. This Nian'er is a monster, and he was picked up by his tribe. How could he be in trouble?"
At this moment, Nian'er in the cave heard this and asked hurriedly: "Two heroes, are you helping Uncle Niu to find me?"
Hearing this, Yue Lingxiao saw Nian'er, and saw that this man had delicate features, which was completely different from Lao Niu's appearance. But if you say it's a monster, I'm afraid not many people will believe it.
Nian'er's eyes were full of kindness, with a hint of desolation, which showed that staying here was not what he wanted or expected at all.
Yue Lingxiao stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Are you Nian'er?"
Nian'er nodded and said, "Yes."
Yue Lingxiao looked at Nian'er and said, "That's not right. Lao Niu said that you were picked up by your own tribe. How could you be in such a mess?"
Thinking of this, Nian'er lowered her eyes and said in a choked voice: "It's true that I am a monster, but I don't want to be a monster at all. I just want to be an ordinary person."
"When I was young, I saw with my own eyes that my father paid a heavy price to protect this box. My father's only request for me was to live well."
"I met Uncle Niu when I was most confused. He took care of me like a father and told me many principles of life."
"Those ten years were the most comfortable I have ever lived. I originally thought that I would be this carefree for the rest of my life, but I never thought that my tribe would still find me."
"They brought me to this place. I didn't even have time to say goodbye to Uncle Niu, so I went to this place to guard this box and complete the mission that my father failed to complete."
"I wonder how Uncle Niu is doing now? Will he blame me for cheating on him?"
Nian'er was filled with guilt, and she didn't know how the people in the village would treat Lao Niu after he left.
A person who has been kind to others all his life will fall into a place of eternal destruction just because he took in a monster. This is not what Nian'er wants to see.
Nian'er is a monster. Although he looked childish when he met Lao Niu, he has still been in this world for hundreds of years.
It is precisely because of this that he has known about his identity for a long time, but he has not told the truth.
More than ten years was a long time, and it was so long that he almost forgot that he was a monster, but it was also a short time. Such a relaxing time passed so quickly, and Nian'er could never go back.
Just when Yue Lingxiao was hesitating, Sword Spirit said decisively: "Nian'er, listen, you'd better tell us this so-called mission, otherwise no one can save you!"
Nian'er smiled bitterly and said: "Since I came to this place, I have no intention of leaving, and the same is true for my father."
For a moment, Yue Lingxiao and Jian Ling didn't know what to do.
