Origin

Judging from the size of the stele and the location where it was erected, its function should be to mark rather than decorate. Since it is a mark, the four words on it should be the name of the island, or to be precise, the name of the building on the island.

No matter how you look at it, the name Xinyue Divine Palace is tacky. Xinyue is very tacky, and the Divine Palace is even more tacky. At least it has nothing new, or it lacks some foundation and depth.

But after thinking about it carefully, I found that this is not the case. Xinyue has nothing to do with women's pretentiousness and cosiness. Xinyue probably represents Xinyue Fox, one of the twenty-eight constellations. Xinyue Fox is under the command of Qinglong. One of the seven places in the East, if Xinyue really represents Xinyue Fox, then this is where Xinyue Fox lives. Xinyue Fox is an Eastern god, and the place where he lives is appropriately described as a shrine.

At this time, the woman in white had returned to the top of the cliff under the guidance of the monkey, and was walking from the top of the cliff to the mountainside, while the old man in black was still hiding and following behind.

Worried that he had lost him, Wu Zhongyuan left the stone monument and quietly followed him through the forest.

Although he knew that there was a Xinyue Fox among the stars, he did not know whether it was a boy or a girl, and the woman in white had no demonic aura on her body. Therefore, it could not be inferred that she was the Xinyue Fox, and the old man in black was directly excluded. Yes, his body is a bird, definitely not Xinyue Fox.

He was a little confused about the current situation. According to the old blind man, the old man in black lived on this island. Since he lived on this island, why did he still follow the woman in white secretly?

The situation of the woman in white is also a bit strange. Why doesn't she walk by herself, but needs a monkey to lead her? Could it be that he is blind? starter

Having this suspicion, he observed carefully and found that the woman in white was indeed stumbling when walking. She was probably blind.

Due to the bad angle, the woman's face and eyes could not be seen. After pondering, Wu Zhongyuan walked around to the left, trying to get in front of the woman in white.

At this moment, the old man in black turned around and waved his hand towards where he was.

Seeing this, Wu Zhongyuan stopped hurriedly. There was no one else on the island. The old man in black turned around and waved. Naturally, he waved to him, but he had been hiding under the forest. How did the old man in black see him?

The old man in black waved his hand, then turned back and continued to look at the monkey and the woman in white.

The monkey kept pulling the woman in white toward the mountainside. After walking a few dozen feet, the monkey began to look around. After walking a short distance, the monkey let go of the woman in white and ran to a peach forest not far away. He picked a peach and held it in both hands. Big bites.

At this moment, the old man in black came out of his hiding place and jumped towards the peach forest, "You incompetent beast, let's see if I don't beat you to death!"

When the monkey saw him appearing, he screamed in terror, dropped the peach and ran towards the woman in white, holding her hand and continuing down the mountain.

The old man in black sat down on the bluestone beside the road and sighed.

Wu Zhongyuan had been watching from a distance, and when he saw the old man in black's actions, he probably had something to worry about. This woman in white seemed to be unable to take care of herself. This monkey was trained by the old man in black to take care of her daily life. The reason why the old man in black was hiding in the dark before was In fact, he is observing whether the monkey will do well in his absence.

At this moment, the old man in black raised his head and looked at the area where he was, "Come out."

After hearing this man's words, Wu Zhongyuan left his hiding place and rushed towards the man in black.

The old man in black had been sitting on a stone by the roadside. When Wu Zhongyuan landed two feet away in front of him, he frowned and raised his head, looking him up and down.

While the old man in black was observing Wu Zhongyuan, Wu Zhongyuan was also observing him. The reason why he is called this person is because although this person is a strange person, his cultivation is extremely pure, and he is better than the wolf spirit Hu who tried to snatch the sword that day. Tong is a bit more pure, similar to the fat man Huang Sheng.ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

However, although this person has advanced cultivation, he is extremely old. His face is deeply wrinkled and covered with age spots. The skin on his hands is also old and saggy. His eyes are very cloudy, and his sparse hair is completely white. He is reluctantly pulled into a bun on the top of his head. .

"What's your name?" The voice of the old man in black was very calm. Calmness is different from gentleness. Calmness means no emotion.

"Wu Zhongyuan, may I ask your surname, please?" Wu Zhongyuan bowed his hands in greeting.

"It's okay not to say anything," the old man in black shook his head, "You are from the Bird Tribe, how come your surname is Wu?"

"How does the elder know that I am from the Bird Clan?" Wu Zhongyuan was puzzled.

"Can't people from the bird tribe wear green dragon armor?" the old man in black asked.

As soon as he said this, Wu Zhongyuan suddenly frowned. The Green Dragon Armor had been sealed for hundreds of years, but the old man in black recognized it at a glance.

"Why aren't you afraid of poison?" the old man in black asked again.

"It's a long story..."

"Don't say anything anymore," the old man in black interrupted Wu Zhongyuan, "What else do you have to say?"

Wu Zhongyuan looked sideways and tilted his head. The old man in black meant that he wanted him to reveal his last words.

"Sometimes being immune to all poisons is not necessarily a good thing." The old man in black turned his head and looked at the mountainside. The monkey had pulled the woman in white and disappeared into the dilapidated building on the mountainside.

"The elder may have misunderstood. I have no ill intentions in coming here." Wu Zhongyuan said.

The old man in black didn't answer his words. He sighed and stood up, "Don't worry, I will return the Azure Dragon Armor to the Bird Clan."

"You want to kill me?" Wu Zhongyuan was on guard. The other person knew that he was wearing Qinglong Armor and still dared to say that, which meant that this person was sure to kill him even though he was wearing Qinglong Armor.

The old man in black nodded, "You saw something you shouldn't have seen. How could I let you go?"

Wu Zhongyuan stepped back and raised his hand, "Don't rush to do it. Tell me, what should I not see?"

"Don't take chances, you can't escape." The old man in black said.

"I won't run, but you have to explain clearly why you want to kill me?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"You saw my lord." The old man in black stepped forward.

Wu Zhongyuan wanted to continue to retreat, but after pondering, he gave up the idea. If he continued to retreat at this time, he would only make the old man in black take action immediately.

"I will not harm your master." Wu Zhongyuan said. Since the old man in black addresses the woman in white as his master, the relationship between the two is naturally master and servant.

"Maybe you are telling the truth, but I can't believe you," the old man in black continued to approach, "My time is approaching, and I cannot leave any trouble for the Lord."

"I have no grievances against you, so why did I hurt her?" Wu Zhongyuan said, "Did you train that monkey to take care of her on your behalf because your end was approaching?"

"You are very smart." The old man in black nodded and slowly raised his right hand while walking.

At this time, the old man in black was no more than three steps away from him, but Wu Zhongyuan still stood still, "Even if you want to kill me, you have to let me die."

"I don't want to kill you, but I have to kill you." The old man in black took another step forward.

Wu Zhongyuan still didn't hide.

"Why don't you try to escape?" the old man in black asked.

"Since you are sure to kill me, what's the point of running away?" Wu Zhongyuan said, "I just don't understand why you have to kill me? I won't hurt your master after you die, if you can give me what I want Something, I will protect her on your behalf."

"What do you want?" The old man in black lowered his hands and stepped back.

"Someone once saw you change your body shape," Wu Zhongyuan said. "When you transformed, you could change your personal weapons. Some people said that you were able to do this because you ate a strange fruit."

"Who told you?" the old man in black asked.

"I don't know what that man's name is." Wu Zhongyuan didn't lie. He indeed didn't know the old blind man's real name.

The old man in black did not continue to ask, but said calmly, "This kind of fruit is called persimmon, and it is not uncommon to grow here. If you use it for yourself, I'm afraid you won't be able to use it. If you want to give it to others, I will give it to others." You can take a few with you when you return the Azure Dragon Armor."

Wu Zhongyuan smiled and said, "I can't run away anyway, so don't rush to kill me. Let's have a few words first."

The old man in black thought for a while, then turned and walked towards the blue stone where he was sitting before, "I know you want to convince me, and I also hope you can convince me. Just give it a try."

"Is that woman in white Xinyue Fox?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"The more you know, the less likely I am to keep you alive." The old man in black said.

"I'm going to die anyway." Wu Zhongyuan said.

The old man in black did not answer Wu Zhongyuan's question, but returned to sit down next to the bluestone.

The old man in black did not deny it, which meant that he guessed correctly. Wu Zhongyuan then asked, "Why does she need someone to take care of her?"

The old man in black didn't answer.

Wu Zhongyuan asked again, "Is she injured?"

"You should convince me not to kill you, instead of forcing me to kill you." The old man in black said.

"How much longer do you have left?" Wu Zhongyuan changed the subject.

The old man in black lowered his eyebrows and shook his head, but did not answer.

Wu Zhongyuan asked again, "Why don't you believe that I can take care of her for you?"

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's that I don't believe in people." The old man in black said.

"How do you know we can't be trusted if you haven't tried it?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

The old man in black had been expressionless before, but after hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, he actually smiled, a bitter smile, "How do you know I haven't tried it?"

"Have you tried it?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"I've tried with no less than a hundred people, but no man is worth trusting," said the old man in black.

"People are different." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"It's the same," the old man in black said, "I started looking for someone to replace me a long time ago. As time goes by, everyone will slack off and change, or even blaspheme and offend. No one can stay consistent."

"Why didn't you choose a woman?" Wu Zhongyuan asked curiously.

"Because after a woman sees her master's true appearance, she will become jealous and hateful. The longer we stay together, the stronger the hatred will become, and eventually she will be tortured and hurt." The old man in black said.

"What will happen if a man sees her true face?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

"Love will lead to blasphemy," said the man in black. "Human love will breed blasphemy, without exception."

"It's unfair." Wu Zhongyuan shook his head.

"Do you think you will be an exception?" The man in black smiled bitterly.

"Yes." Wu Zhongyuan nodded.

The man in black glanced at Wu Zhongyuan, turned around and walked towards the mountainside.

Wu Zhongyuan was stunned for a moment, then recovered and followed him...
