Once upon a time there was a sword-questioner

Chapter 284
This is a very ordinary tile house, Tang Ge, Long San and the crooked old man sat around an old table.

The villagers have been pushed back by the old man, but there are still a small group of people staying around the tile house intentionally or unintentionally, monitoring the movement here, and among them is the aggressive middle-aged man before.

The tiled house was deep and silent, although the old man's eyes were cloudy, there was always a sense of strangeness, although Long San was startled, he couldn't help looking into his eyes.

The dead wood crutch in the old man's hand lightly tapped the ground, looked at Tang Ge and asked, "Why do you say that the old man only has one day's life?"

Tang Ge said: "I have something to ask you. If you don't tell me, I will kill you. You won't even have a day of life."

Long San's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, thinking that the head teacher is the head teacher.

When the old man heard these words, his body visibly trembled, but he didn't panic. Instead, he stared at Tango quietly, with a faint light in the depths of his eyes.

"Who are you?" The old man asked unhurriedly.

Tang Ge decided to take the most primitive and effective method. No strategy would be better than direct force. He said: "You don't need to know."

The old man smiled helplessly and said: "You came to me for help and didn't reveal your identity and purpose. Why should I help you?"

"I can kill you, and then go to the man outside the door, he should be very willing to help us."

Tang Ge glanced outside the door, and met the eyes of the middle-aged man, who noticed his gaze and retreated in a panic.

Without turning his head, the old man said, "Although he is a bit irritable, he won't be threatened by you."

Tang Ge said: "That's because he is afraid of your deterrence. If you are gone, I'm afraid he won't be what he is now."

He could tell that middle-aged men were very afraid of old people, not only because of their seniority, but also because of their innate temperament.

Tang Ge saw fear in his eyes, and even a faint... killing intent.

The middle-aged man's intention to kill the old man has long been hidden in his heart. Originally, it is easy for a strong and strong man to kill a dying old man. For some reason, he has always been afraid, even fearful, of the old man.

The old man said without changing his expression: "Based on these words, I believe you, but the words of immortality are just nonsense."

Tang Ge said: "For you, this is indeed nonsense."

……

……

The word of longevity has been talked about by many people since ancient times. No one has seen a real immortal, but some people have lived for a long time.

In the world of martial arts, practitioners live longer than ordinary people. In their knowledge, there are two people with the longest life spans.

One is the Lord of Kunlun Mountain, and the other is the Qin Emperor who looked down on the world in the past.

The owner of the mountain climbed Kunlun Mountain thousands of years ago. No one knows how long he lived before he went up the mountain, but he has lived up to now.

According to research, Emperor Qin ruled the Great Qin Empire for a thousand years. Before he ascended the throne, no one knew what he was doing, and his identity was vague.

After the Seven Stars Catastrophe, the Great Qin Empire was destroyed, and the Kunlun Realm was in turmoil. The remaining martial arts forces fought for power and fought fiercely across the world, and the Kunlun Realm fell into long-term turmoil.

It wasn't until hundreds of years ago, when the Nian clan established the Great Zhou Empire, that the martial arts world was considered stable and stable, and then when the Empress ascended the throne, there was no major turmoil in the Kunlun world.

Everyone in the Northern Territory, from the Northern King to ordinary people, is enshrined in longevity. They worship the so-called gods and pray that one day they will be able to influence the gods and grant them the art of longevity.

But many years have passed, and they are still in the cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death.

The old man stared straight at Tang Ge and said, "Who are you?"

Tang Ge said: "I have already said, you don't need to know."

The old man lowered his gaze, feeling helpless. After a long time, he finally said, "What do you want to know?"

Tang Ge asked: "Why did the army enclose Cold Winter Lake?"

The old man hesitated for a while, then said: "It is rumored that a mysterious object was found at the bottom of the lake. The King of the North wants to keep it alone, so the people are not allowed to approach it."

Tang Ge said, "I know all of this, so there's no need to talk about it."

The old man obviously hesitated for a while, and slightly exerted force on the palm of his hand holding the dead wood cane. There was a hint of confusion between his brows, and he said, "Under the cold winter lake, there seems to be something that does not belong to this world."

"Something that doesn't belong in this world?"

Long San murmured in a low voice, so shocked that he couldn't get back to his senses for a while. He looked at Tang Ge, but found that he was as calm as usual, so calm that it made one's heart palpitate.

The first thing Tang Ge thought of was that this old man was really not simple, and he suddenly said: "You should have discovered the secret of the lake earlier than the army, right?"

"Ugh……"

The old man sighed and said: "When several young people in the village were playing by the lake, they noticed that the water turned pitch black for a while, so they dived in and discovered something strange at the bottom of the lake."

"With a radius of tens of feet away from the mysterious thing, there is a circle of light barriers, making it difficult to get close, so I can't see what it is."

"It was only later that Wang Ting also discovered this secret, and surrounded Lindong Lake."

Tang Ge asked: "How do you know that it is not something from this world?"

The old man's eyes sparkled and he said: "I have also gone to the lakeside to investigate. When the lake turns black, the fluctuations it emits are indeed not like those in the Kunlun Realm."

Ryuzo suddenly exclaimed: "Are you also a practitioner?"

"It used to be, but later, due to some reasons, the cultivation of the whole body was lost. The two old people have strong breaths, and they must be from the great sect."

The old man said calmly, there was a kind of indifference in the words of the world.

Tang Ge was still expressionless, but Long San opened his mouth slightly, looking at the old man with a look of surprise.

After a while, Tang Ge asked again: "Is there a way to avoid the army and sneak into Cold Winter Lake?"

The old man showed hesitation, glanced at the few people staying outside the door, and said: "There are strong people in the phaseless state in the army, so naturally we can't break through by force."

Even if Tang Ge and Long San's skills are not low, not to mention the Wuxiang Realm powerhouses in the army, those battle-tested kings' divisions can consume them to death by using crowd tactics.

Practitioners are not invincible unless they reach a certain level, such as the phaseless state, or even higher.

It is rumored that many years ago, during the heyday of the Great Qin Empire, the barbarian states rebelled, and the Emperor Qin sent his generals to crusade against the rebellious army, and the barbarian states also sent a strong man from the Wuxiang Realm to fight.

However, the divine general did not take action personally. Instead, he asked his tens of thousands of troops to surround the master of the phaseless realm, set up a battle formation, and consumed him to death on the battlefield.

So what the old man said is not unreasonable, even practitioners in the Formless Realm can be consumed to death, let alone them.

A person's strength can only be called invincible unless he is so strong that he has the power to defy the sky. Even if there are millions of people, blood will flow into rivers at the snap of his fingers.

The old man suddenly said: "But there is a team that patrols the area near Wanghu Village regularly. We can make use of it."

Tang Ge said: "It's us, not you."

The old man smiled wryly and said: "The old man has forgotten, I am only a mortal now, I am afraid that I will not be able to walk with you two."

Tang Ge asked, "When will that team come?"

The old man looked at the cold sky through the door and said: "Look at this time, there is almost an hour left."

Tang Ge looked at Long San and said, "Long San, get ready."

Long San said, "Yes, Uncle Master."

The old man looked at the two who seemed to have plans, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Tang Ge said: "Find me nine men, preferably tall and tall, with the strength to hold a knife and hold a spear."

The old man said: "Are you trying to..."

Tang Ge immediately said: "Steal the clouds and exchange the sun."
