Bai Yu told Ao Ruhen and expressed his thoughts. He only had one chance. If something went wrong, he would run away immediately. There was no need for them to wade through water if there was a danger of death.
Ao Ren nodded as he listened. He agreed with Bai Yu's idea. Although there was a lot of risk, if he really found some treasure and ran away, it would be worth it. It wouldn't be a waste for them to crawl around underground for more than two years. months time.
The two of them walked to the vague outline of the mapped passage. Bai Yu pressed the object in his hand hard, and an opening instantly appeared. The two of them rushed in without saying a word.
"I'm going! There are really blue skies and white clouds. This place is really weird." Ao Ren sighed as he looked at the scenery in front of him.
At this time, the two people looked around. They saw an open land just like Bai Yu said, and a winding river extending into a lake in the distance.
"Someone!"
Bai Yu stretched out his hand to stop Ao Han, who was about to move forward. There was no one before he came in, and there was no grass pavilion by the lake.
Looking from a distance, the man is sitting in a grass pavilion by the lake, fishing with a pole, wearing a straw hat and coarse linen clothes. The breeze is blowing the reeds and the man's hair and beard. It is definitely a lonely man there. fishing.
But how could they believe that he was an ordinary person? Ao Han, who was usually arrogant and spoiled, swallowed involuntarily, and Bai Yu's heart was already in his throat.
"Let's just come in and explore. Do we need to be so afraid? Besides, we haven't offended anyone." Ao Xian said in a low voice, feeling that there was nothing wrong with him, so why should he be afraid?
Listening to what Ao Hen said, it seems to make some sense. Even if they are at the immortal level, there is no need to kill them immediately, but do they need a reason to kill them?
"But we still have to have that fear. If we are shot to death for disrespecting our elders, wouldn't we die unjustly?"
He himself comes from a well-known family, and he has attached great importance to etiquette and respect since he was a child, and his family often reminded and taught him, so he naturally did not dare to neglect his respect for his elders, and he also did not lack it when he was in the family. Get scolded.
After chatting with each other for a while, the two decided to go over and check out the situation. Didn't they come in just to find out what was going on here?
When they first approached the pavilion on the edge of the lake, they saw the man swinging his rod to catch a fish. It was quite big, and they could hear the man's laughter of joy after harvesting.
"Junior pays homage to senior!" Bai Yu clasped his fists and said to the figure in courtesy.
"Sit down! I haven't seen anyone for many years. I'm glad you can come here." Chi Mu's old voice came. I could tell it was an old man's voice, but he still turned his back to them and continued to fish.
There is a table and four chairs in the pavilion. There is also a tea set on the table, and the tea is still steaming. It seems that they have already known that they are coming and have made tea in advance.
"Thank you, senior."
Bai Yu didn't hesitate and sat down immediately. Ao Han also sat down after seeing this, but they didn't dare to use their spiritual senses to see the man's face clearly, for fear of angering others and what might happen.
"What year and month is it today?" The man still had his back to them, asking because he had been here for too long and had forgotten the time.
"Nine Epoch nine hundred and eighty-seven years, there are still thirteen years left to enter the next round." Bai Yu replied.
The man thought for a while and looked up at the sky before sighing and saying: "The Nine Era...has it been nearly ten thousand years? Time flies so fast."
As the man sighed and talked to himself about ten thousand years, Bai Yu knew that this person was definitely not a simple person. He had never seen anyone who could live for ten thousand years in a true sense. Even in legends, he had never heard of anyone who could live for ten thousand years. load.
"How is the world going today?" the man continued to ask.
"The rich sect smells of wine and meat, there are frozen bones on the road, the poor sect is as humble as a slave, and the people have no right to speak." Bai Yu said what he saw when he came here. The monks here in the Western Border did not take the lives of mortals as human beings at all. .
Hearing this, the man just sighed, seeming to express the same helplessness.
"How's the battle going?"
The battle situation? He didn't know anything about the war. All he knew about was the appearance of the Black Armored Army and nothing else.
"This junior doesn't know the situation of the war. I only know that the black-armored army, which has not appeared for a long time, has appeared in various places to recruit troops. It seems that they need to recruit more soldiers." Bai Yu could only answer truthfully, lying to such a person who can't see through the level. It was said to be disrespectful, as the other party could detect the fluctuations in the thoughts of a weak person like him.
And now the sensory jade on his body has not changed at all. He feels more and more that the strength of the old man fishing in front of him must be beyond his knowledge.
"The Black Armored Army has survived to this day. It seems that the past few thousand years have been relatively peaceful, but a new round is about to begin, and what is supposed to come will always come."
The man murmured to himself, caught another fish with his hand, put it into the fish basket, put away the fishing rod, picked up the fish basket and walked to the pavilion.
As for his own words, Bai Yu and the others didn't listen clearly, but it didn't sound like a good thing.
When Bai Yu and the two looked at the man, the face they saw was blurry, and they couldn't see through his appearance.
"It's a good harvest today. It's rare for a guest to come. You two will sit down at my place. You can have a few drinks and chat with me for a while."
The man said to Bai Yu and the others with a joyful smile. The fish in the fish basket in his hand jumped a few times. It seemed that he wanted them to decide. They seemed to have no right to refuse this drink, and they had no reason to refuse. .
They came in just to explore this place, and now they met someone who was true to his word, and they didn't dare to refuse him.
Bai Yu stood up and said, "That's disturbing senior."
The man was wearing a straw hat and leading the way. Seeing this, Bai Yu and the two could only follow. They were walking towards the mountain, which made Bai Yu feel uncomfortable.
"No one has been here for a long time. I haven't seen a stranger in probably thousands of years. You are the only ones who have come here in these thousands of years." The old man said as he walked.
"Senior, it's not surprising that I haven't seen anyone for tens of thousands of years. The vast desert outside is thousands of miles wide, and it is shrouded by the Time Purgatory Divine Formation. No one is willing to walk in." Bai Yu then said.
"Oh~, you actually know the Time Purgatory Formation. You are very knowledgeable at such a young age." The man said with a smile. He was a little surprised to see that Bai Yu knew this formation at his age.
"Senior, you deserve the award. This junior just has more experience. He doesn't know much about this formation and doesn't dare to speak nonsense."
"You just said that there is a desert area thousands of miles away outside. I remember that this place was not a desert before. It should be green forests and high slopes and hills. Has it changed so much in recent years?"
"It is indeed a desert, because no one who comes in from this place can get out. As a result, few people dare to enter the desert now, and those who come in are basically dead." Bai Yu said.
"Then what are you doing here? Aren't you afraid of death at such a young age?" The man chuckled and continued to ask.
"We were brought in by the storm caused by several giant beasts. We didn't come in on our own initiative." Bai Yu said with a bitter face. Whoever is full is willing to come in and wait to die.
At this time, they were walking and chatting and had reached the foot of the mountain, but the man did not stop. He continued to walk forward. Instead of walking towards the mountain, he walked around the mountain and came to the back of the mountain. After a while, he saw We arrived at a small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
The small courtyard is not big. It looks like there are only three huts and a semi-open outdoor kitchen, which looks like a tea stall selling tea in the mountains.
"The giant beast? It should be left over from the past, but it hasn't been completely eliminated. No wonder the formation outside is still running."
Back in the hut, the man put down the fish basket and motioned to Bai Yu and the two of them to sit down casually. He walked into the kitchen and took out a tea set and went to the empty table outside. The table was full of dust. He just I wiped it with my hands twice and put the tea set on the table.
"Senior, do you know the origin of that giant beast?" Bai Yu asked.
"The storm beasts are nothing to worry about, but they have allowed them to maintain the operation of the formation. It is estimated that many people have died in the formation over the years. It seems that they have left a scourge."
As he said that, the man had already brewed a pot of tea, and the aroma of tea was already wafting around. This was the first time Bai Yu had smelled such fragrant tea. As for the giant storm beast, they didn't know them either. They would check it out later if they had time.
