Chapter 239 The old man on the riverside meets the immortal
A vast river.
Qingyuan stood on the river, and the wet wind blew towards him.
This was originally located in Li County and Licheng.
But now, there is no prosperous city, only a big river, which originates from the depths of the mountains, destroying the original peaks and flooding all cities.
His eyebrows were furrowed tightly.
"What's going on?"
Qingyuan looked at the river in front of him and subconsciously stepped over. However, at this moment, he suddenly noticed something strange. He turned his head and saw an old man in the distance, holding an axe in his hand and wearing a rough clothes, cutting trees by the river.
This old man has an old face and is already old.
"Old sir."
The old man was holding up his axe and heard such a sound coming from his ears. Although it was clear and plain, he couldn't help but be shocked. He turned his head and saw a young man walking slowly not far away, saying with a smile: "The old man is really strong in cutting wood, and he doesn't know how old he lives?"
When the old man saw that the person who came was handsome and had outstanding temperament, he didn't look like a villain, he put down his guard slightly and replied, "The old man is eighty-three years old this year."
Kiyohara smiled and said, "The old man is really a long life."
"Longevity?" the old man shook his head and said, "If you don't have a good background, you will suffer. The longer you live, the longer you will suffer. I am about eighty years old this year, and I still have to go up the mountain to collect firewood and do not have to rest every day, otherwise my family will have to stop firewood for one day. If I can't work, then living to this day is useless, and living to the family can only add more rice and food every day. It should be noted that in this world, ordinary people cannot eat enough, and raising a useless person will drag down their family members in vain. Now, I go up the mountain to collect firewood, not to be strong, but to let a bite of rice he eats, which is not in vain."
Kiyohara didn't expect that this old man had so many thoughts.
I think this old man often has this kind of thought on weekdays.
"The old man has thought too much. If an old man is an old man, it is a treasure." Qingyuan laughed and said, "You have children and children, so that you can have descendants. Their lives are given by the old man. These descendants should respect you. Otherwise, how can you get the word "family"?"
The old man shook his head slightly, didn't reply, and asked instead: "You young man, are you an outsider?"
"The old man is keen." Qingyuan did not deny it, but said: "I traveled here in my early years. I lived in Li County for a while. Later, I left. This time I came back and deliberately visited on the spot. I didn't expect that how did this huge town turn into a river now?"
"I see……"
When the old man heard this, he sighed and said, "Li County was less than two years ago, and it was flooded by a flood. It is said that the flood had even broken through the mountains and destroyed the mountains and rushed in. No one in the entire Li City could escape. The city walls broke through, the houses collapsed, and then they were sunk to the bottom of the water."
The old man pointed to the front and said, "It should be at that location. I heard that the water is very deep, and occasionally there are people with good water properties, and I have seen the city at the bottom of the water. However, the river water is too fast, and most people who dive into the water cannot come back. Especially since this year, almost no one dares to go into the water. It is said that monsters have been born, and no one dares to come even on the edge of this river."
As he said that, the old man smiled a little and said, "But it is precisely because of this that the grass and trees are flourishing and no one is fighting for it. The old man lives long and is not afraid of death. He comes here to chop wood."
Kiyohara frowned slightly and said, "Da water?"
"Yes, big water." The old man shook his head and said, "After all, it's the power of heaven, not the power of manpower."
As he said that, the old man seemed to have a strange look. He looked at Yuan Qing and said, "You young man, don't you want to go and visit him?"
Kiyohara smiled and said, "I don't have these ideas."
"It's better not to mention whether the monster under the water is real, the flood alone will come strangely."
"How weird?"
"The mountains have been destroyed, isn't it strange?"
The old man showed some "young man, little knowledge" expression on his face and said, "It is rumored that this person from Li County violated the power of heaven, and was destroyed by the immortals in the sky, casting spells and floods."
Qingyuan's eyebrows condensed and his pupils shrank slightly.
The old man said this, but he was half-believing and half-doubted, but the principle of Qing Dynasty was to know it, and it might not be possible.
If a person who is truly a master of Taoism, it is not difficult to use Taoism, send out floods, and destroy Li County. However, those who truly have such ability will have extremely high Taoism. Now that immortals cannot enter the world, they are real people, and even ordinary people in the realm of real people cannot reach this level. I am afraid they will still be immortals in the world.
"When the immortals in the world are touching their whole body with one blow, they are watched by all parties, especially the Shouzhengdao Sect, they are extremely concerned. Logically speaking, it should not be the master who casts the spell. Besides, killing countless creatures, although this backlash power will not be fatal to people in the semi-immortal realm, it is not easy to feel."
Although it may be the cause of a big shot, Qingyuan felt that it was a flood between heaven and earth and nature. In this way, it might be more credible.
Qingyuan was silent there and thought for a long time.
The old man sighed: "A good Li County, it's ruined. Maybe there are some acquaintances of you, but it's time to be sad and change. People will die, and they are old and old, and they are... "
The old man took his axe and walked forward slowly, suddenly saying, "Young man, you'd better go back."
Kiyohara said: "Add more good intentions from the old man, I still want to look around."
The old man responded and then reminded: "I heard that there are monsters in the water. Although I have never seen them with my own eyes, it is often said that it is said that almost all the people who went into the water were eaten by monsters. You have to be careful."
Kiyohara nodded slightly, then bowed: "Tell me more old men, and I will pay more attention to me."
The old man nodded and walked forward, as if he was still hesitant about whether he should continue to persuade the young man to avoid things happening. But after thinking about it carefully, what he should say is already said, and it is useless to say more.
The old man shook his head and walked forward. After walking less than half a mile, he felt a little tired, so he sat down and put the firewood aside. Then he saw a thing on the firewood branch, which was a purse.
The old man showed surprise and opened his purse, and there was a lot of gold inside.
"What?"
The old man felt a little stunned. For wealthy families, perhaps a dish is dozens of taels, and a pot of fine wine is hundreds of taels of silver.
But like ordinary poor families like them, even a tael of silver can make this family have no worries of food and drink within ten days and a half months. Now there are ten taels of gold in the wallet, and in Shu Kingdom, it can be exchanged for hundreds of taels of silver. This is what he can't make even the firewood he has been working for decades.
"Can't it be that the young man's wallet was hooked by my firewood branches?"
"He didn't know how anxious he was to such a big sum of money."
The old man quickly put away his purse, carried firewood, and rushed to the riverside.
He was old and had just walked slowly and was still breathing. He ran this time and it was not long before he was sweating and sore all over his body.
But he still didn't stop, just ran forward.
Seeing the big river ahead, the sound of the river water rushing endlessly.
And that young man was on the riverside.
"Young Master stayed."
The old man shouted: "Your wallet..."
At this moment, his voice came to an abrupt end.
His eyes were dizzy and he didn't see clearly just now. At this moment, he finally saw the scene ahead clearly.
The young man was not on the riverside, but on the surface of the river.
The water flowed, passing by his feet, standing on the water, like walking on flat ground.
"You are kind to me, old man."
Kiyohara turned around slightly and smiled, "This is an external object, so I would like to thank the old man for his kindness just now."
As he said that, he turned around and walked slowly towards the other side of the river.
The river was surging, and he walked on the water.
The old man stood by the river, stayed for a while before whispering: "God?" (To be continued.)
