Chen Le walked closer and saw that it was an old man squatting in front of the brazier and burning paper money.

The old man was wearing a plain cotton coat and looked a little bloated, with white hair on his head. His calloused hands slightly stretched out in the cold wind were trembling a little by the cold wind, but he still threw paper money into the brazier, looking at the center of the deep pit with a pious look.

Moreover, Chen Le found that the old man had seen him, the owner of a convenience store at the entrance of the village. Not long ago, he bought salt, soy sauce and other things in his small convenience store.

When he noticed someone approaching, the old man turned his head to look at Chen Le, smiled at Chen Le and said, "Oh, it's you, the new college students are still not sleeping."

"Well, I heard that this round pit is quite famous, so I'll come and take a look."

Chen Le said, looking at the brazier in front of the old man, "Are you worshiping your loved ones?"

Speaking of this, a confused look flashed in the old man's eyes, and he sighed softly and said, "A stranger."

"stranger?"

Chen Le didn't understand why he wanted to burn paper money for a stranger.

The old man stopped answering, but continued to stretch out his trembling hands and handed the paper money into the brazier. The flames reflected his slightly sad face.

Seeing that the old man was struggling to reach out, Chen Le squatted down and said, "Old man, if you don't dislike me, I'll help you with some."

The old man thought about it and looked at Chen Le again. He noticed the friendliness in Chen Le's eyes, so he handed the paper money in his hand to Chen Le, "I'm old and useless. I was the fastest man in our village back then. Now I can't even reach out to burn paper."

Chen Le smiled and took the paper money, then put the paper money one by one in the brazier.

The old man stood up tremblingly with a crutch. He might have squatted for too long. He had just stood up and almost fell down again. It took a little effort to barely stabilize his body. He just stood aside with a crutch and watched Chen Le throw the paper money into the brazier.

After pondering for a long time, he said quietly, "Young man, you come here to see the crater. However, you may be disappointed. This is not a crater. This is a tomb, a cemetery that buried my benefactor!"

"Graveyard?" Chen Le looked at the old man in confusion.

The old man shook his head gently and said, "You won't believe it even if you say it."

That being said, maybe because some words have been held in my heart for too long, the old man murmured, "Actually, I don't know what the other party is called, why is it here? Just one night a few decades ago, I saw a fire here from afar, and thought it was a fire here, so I used the fastest journey in the village to run here to see it."

"It is normal for forest fires to frequently ignite in the forest. Generally, if you don't care, he will destroy them himself, but some small animals will suffer. I will come over and want to help put out the fire."

"I just ran close to it and found out that there was no forest fire here. This is a group of people fighting. More precisely, a group of people in black are besieging a big man."

"I have never seen such a powerful person in my life. Can those people really be considered human? It's really, it's so scary."

The old man said, shook his head repeatedly, a little fear flashed in his eyes, and sighed repeatedly, "Those people are really too cruel, too cruel. A group of people are flashing around and flying around, and no grass grows wherever they pass."

"I was so scared that I collapsed on the ground and even forgot to escape."

"When I realized that, a man in black suddenly rushed to me and slapped him with a palm. Before the hand was close to me, I felt my heart burst. At this moment, my benefactor suddenly flashed in front of me, blocking the palm, causing the palm to tilt behind me, and all the trees behind me were knocked to the sky."

The old man said this and smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's very funny, right? Do you think I'm telling a myth?"

Chen Le smiled and said, "No, I think you are telling the truth."

This surprised the old man. He looked at Chen Le for a few more times and sighed, "The villagers all think I'm telling myths."

"Then my benefactor grabbed me and said, this is not where you should come. His hand is powerful, just like catching a chicken, lifting me up and throwing it a hundred meters away. What's more amazing is that when I landed, I was not injured at all."

"But, my benefactor was attacked from behind by a man and stabbed his body with a sword. There was also a big man holding a stone as big as a house in his hands and smashing it to his head. This is the last sight I saw."

The old man said this and sighed with sigh, "If it weren't for saving me, if I hadn't come to see me at that time, maybe the ending would have been different."

"I don't know who he is, nor why he saved me. If I had been hit that slap at that time, I might have even broken my bones. I can't repay my life-saving grace. Then, I will come here to worship him every day."

This worship lasted for decades.

This also made Chen Leting sigh, thinking, that is the chivalrous, he is the ancestor, in order to save a stranger he had never known, an ordinary villager...

No wonder Miss Hayao asked herself to come here to see this ancestor.

Just from the remaining energy here, you can feel that he must have been an amazing person before.

"I have always said this to the villagers, but no one has ever believed it. They all thought it was a fire pit hit by a meteorite."

The old man said excitedly, "I just thought about coming here to pay my respects every year, one is to thank the benefactor, and the other is to meet the benefactor's relatives and children, I would also like to say thank you to him, and at the same time let the villagers know that I did not lie, let alone see a ghost."

While speaking, Chen Le had already seriously thrown the last piece of paper money into the brazier, then stood up and looked at the old man and said, "You don't know the other person's name. How do you judge whether someone is the other person's child or relative?"

The old man slowly took out an old piece of paper from his arms, and gently opened the white paper with his old and trembling hands. "This is the portrait of my benefactor. I have drawn hundreds of them. This one looks the most similar. I think it is a relative, and I will definitely recognize it."

When Chen Le looked up, he found that this was a sketch drawn with black and white brushes. It was indeed lifelike. It can be clearly seen that this was a burly and powerful senior with a pair of eagle-like eyes, straight nose bridge, wide lips, and the expression between his eyebrows. When he stood there, he was like a mountain that never fell, which was shocking.

The old man still asked with some expectations as usual, "Do you know him or have you seen his portrait?"

Chen Le shook his head and replied, "I don't know you, I've never seen you."

"Yeah?"

The old man didn't know how many times he asked, and he nodded in disappointment.

After Chen Le finished speaking, he felt a strange sight and looked at him. Then he realized that Yuan Bingyao had arrived nearby at some point, and was standing dozens of meters away looking at him.

Maybe he found himself looking at her, and the other party immediately turned his head to the other side.

The old man naturally noticed it and chuckled, "It seems that your friend is here to come to you."

Chen Le smiled and said, "It's not about looking for me, she should have come out to play by herself...but I still have to look at her a little to avoid something happening."

"Well, you go," the old man nodded.

"Do you need me to send you back?"

"No, it's only a few hundred meters, and I'm used to walking."

"Oh well."

After Chen Le finished speaking, he walked towards Yuan Bingyao, but after taking a few steps, he turned around and asked the old man, "By the way, old man, although I don't know him, I can also ask you about his family. Do you have any clues? What are the strange characteristics he has, or what other words he said at that time, can be used as clues."

"feature?"

The old man frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head, "I just glanced at it at that time,... I just said that this is not where I should come, and then I was thrown out."

"That's how it is."

Chen Le smiled bitterly and said, "Then I'll go back and think about it."

Just after taking a few steps, I heard the old man suddenly shouting, "By the way, I heard him yelling from afar."

"Ah, what did you say?"

"Remember, what is it said, the Land of Dragon Souls cannot be defiled, the Black Codex, today I will ask you to pay for your blood debts! Let's go to hell together!"

This made Chen Le shocked and blurted out and asked, "What, black... code? Are you sure?"
