Chu An approached the cliff wall alertly and took a closer look. The entire wall was made of countless stone bricks of the same size of three to two feet. There were shallow dents faintly outlined in the gaps, and they were all uniform.
Chu An walked back and forth along the wall, trying to detect something strange, but everything was very different from what he thought. Xinxu's fear when she first stepped into the door was just her inner resistance to unfamiliar things. Thinking about it, she couldn't help but smile and said to herself: "It's not a big deal, it's just an abandoned temple that has been abandoned for a long time. I was so scared that I thought There really is some kind of evil spirit."
Walking slowly to the rightmost corner of the cliff wall, by chance, I saw a protruding sword hilt on the wall at the same height as myself, with the sword blade completely inserted into the wall. Chu An was troubled and asked himself: "Who in the deserted and ruined palace would come here to stick a broken sword on the wall?" He gnawed the nail of his thumb and stretched out his hand to pull out the sword and take a look. The moment he touched the hilt of the sword, he secretly thought to himself: "It can't be some harmful mechanism!" He immediately retracted his shameless right hand. He scratched his head and said to himself: "Such a big palace is empty, how can there be any mechanism that can harm people's lives?"
Seeing that the hilt of the sword was so out of place with the entire wall, I thought, "Hey, never mind, let's pull it out first." Unexpectedly, no matter how hard I held the hilt, I couldn't move the rusty broken sword at all. There was no choice but to use both hands, but there was still nothing he could do. Even after spending a long time, Chu An couldn't pull the sword out of the wall.
He had no choice but to let go, and then he cursed loudly: "What a piece of shit, why is it inserted so tightly?" After cursing for a while, the suffocation in my heart disappeared a little.
But as he kept staring at the hilt of the sword, Chu An felt an unknown anger rising again. His teeth itched and he slapped the hilt of the sword. But he didn't dare to think that with this unintentional slap, the hilt of the sword was actually slapped into the wall. In an instant, Chu An felt his feet shaking violently, and at the same time, a doorway the same size as an ordinary single door slowly opened where the sword hilt was inserted. After the shaking subsided, Chu An calmed down and peeked into the door.
However, it was pitch dark and Chu An didn't see anything. After having a mental struggle alone in his heart, Chu An decided to walk deeper along the opened stone door to find out what was going on. But he didn't have a torch to light up, so he had to call out the fire feathers to compare with the illuminated oil lamp, and at the same time he held the Heaven-defying Sword in his hand.
After only thirty or twenty steps in the narrow passage, they entered a cave. A two-meter-wide rock passage was winding next to a three- to five-meter-wide underground river, and the end of the trail was behind Chu An. The abandoned hall and the end of the underground river are the same. Chu An didn't think much, he just paused for a moment and then walked along the path in the cave to the other end.
Although the cave is sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, the road under Chu An's feet is relatively flat, and the journey is not that strenuous.
In just one stick of incense, Chu An walked through the cave and came to another strange place. After looking around, he felt that this place was so familiar but he didn't know where it was. When had he been here before?
After thinking about it for a few times, I said in my heart: "Why do I feel like I have been here before? Could it be..."
A familiar voice shouted: "Little thing, what are you doing here again?"
"Yes, at the bottom of Duanfeng Cliff." Chu An said to himself with certainty, and then raised his hands and said: "This junior found an abandoned hall in the Netherworld out of curiosity, and then... I had no intention of going here. It’s here! I hope seniors won’t be surprised.”
The old man appeared in front of Chu An out of thin air without any warning. Chu An quickly bowed his hands and said, "I have met the old senior."
The old man didn't hate Chu An at all, he even liked him somewhat. Looking at the handsome young man in front of him, the old man said happily: "What are you planning to do this time?"
Hearing the old man's question, Chu An hurriedly waved his hand and replied: "Junior, why don't you do it? Junior, why don't you do it? I just accidentally touched the mechanism on the wall of the hall, and then this cave appeared." He looked back while speaking. From the entrance of the cave when he came, he continued: "I was curious and walked all the way along the cave. I didn't want to end up at the bottom of Duanfeng Cliff and disturb my senior's rest. It's all because of my recklessness."
The old man stared straight at Chu An and said, "You came to me that time and you were not reckless? Humph! You even gave me a sore tooth."
When Chu An was about to speak, the old man said first: "Okay, stop quibbling, I don't want to hear you chattering right under my ears."
"oh."
The old man turned his back to Chu An and let out a long sigh, as if talking to himself or to Chu An, "I have been sleeping here for tens of thousands of years. It has been so long that I feel like I am It's just a body without a soul. If you, a little guy, hadn't barged in without thinking, I would have slept for another three to five thousand years! That's all, that's all. I shouldn't still be here in the first place. This is such a troublesome place!”
Hearing what the old man said, the curious cat in Chu An's heart couldn't hold it anymore, and asked in a low voice: "The old man can sleep for tens of thousands of years in one sleep, so how many more thousands of years can he live?"
When the old man heard what Chu An said, he burst into laughter and said later: "There are so many thousand years. I don't know how many years I have lived. Let me tell you, when I grew my beard, heaven and earth were not yet separated."
"Well, you are much older than the world?" Chu An was completely overturned by the old man in front of him.
The old man looked at Chu An sideways and said, "Do you know what heaven and earth are?"
"You can see the sky when you look up, but the earth is under your feet, right?" Chu An answered casually.
"Haha, you little thing, the poison has penetrated into your marrow."
Chu An was puzzled and asked: "What poison has penetrated into the marrow? Why can't I understand a word of what the senior said."
"It's been too long, and I don't remember very clearly. Which came first, heaven and earth or me!" The old man looked at Chu An and saw that he didn't answer, and then said: "Little thing, I see that the dragon clan is flowing in your body. Bloodline, do you know your life experience?"
"I know, my father's name is Honghuang, and I heard he's very powerful. My mother's name is Ji Ling, she's the Dragon Master." When he said this, Chu An let out a long sigh and continued, "There is a man named Yunjun. The old vicious woman, she didn’t want my parents to live a happy life, so she killed my parents.”
The old man looked a little ugly for a moment, but it was only for a few seconds. He sneered and said: "Even if you have witnessed many things with your own eyes, they may not be true, let alone hearsay." At the same time, he turned around to face Chu An, with a faint candle in the hole. looked at him.
Chu An didn't dare to answer the question anymore, so he could only humbly accept the instruction.
"Do you know who I am?" the old man asked.
"Junior, I really don't know the senior's surname." Chu An bowed his head with his hands in hand, not daring to let his eyes meet the old man's.
"Those so-called gods and demons call me Chuangshi,"
