After being kicked out of a wealthy family, she became a fake daughter and shocked the world

"This……"

Lin Wu was surprised.

The old man pointed to the side and said with a smile: "There are steps to go down there. Girl, you have to walk steadily. If you fall down accidentally, you and I will both die."

Lin Wu was in a strange mood at the moment. He followed what he said and found the stone steps going down, which were obviously man-made.

And it's old.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but the old man was still very heavy, but Lin Wu actually felt a lot more relaxed, as if the previous weight was just an illusion.

She carefully walked down the steps, turned around at the end, and there was a small black and red door at the end.

From her perspective, she could see that behind the door, all the houses were half-embedded into the mountain. The exposed parts were uneven and the total was less than 70 square meters. The house exposed at the top was the largest, nearly 20 square meters. , what should be enshrined inside.

Soon after arriving at the door, the old man asked Lin Wu to let him down.

He groped from his wide sleeves, took out a copper key, and opened the door.

There is a small courtyard inside, clean and tidy.

"This is the courtyard where my old man lives. I don't know if the girl is satisfied with it." The old man said with a smile and walked inside.

Lin Wu just wanted to help him, but saw that although he was limping, he was not hindered from moving, so he retracted his hand.

She was too tired to reply to the old man's words. She went in and saw tables and chairs on the wall, and ran over to sit down to rest.

The old man didn't say anything and entered the room on the right by himself.

Lin Wu calmed down, got up and went over, intending to have a good chat with the old man.

Before he could get closer, the old man opened the door and came out first, and changed his clothes.

He was wearing red and yellow monk robes. He was quite thin and slightly stooped.

He was not wearing a felt hat, and his exposed head was bare, with nine ring marks on it.

Lin Wu stopped and looked at him intently.

The old man smiled slightly, clasped his hands and recited a verse to Lin Wu that she didn't understand, and then stretched out his hand to signal Lin Wu to continue sitting.

Lin Wu did as he was told.

The old man was still limping and walked meekly to the corner two meters away. There was a stove there with firewood piled next to it. He slowly lit the water.

Lin Wu thought about his words and said politely: "Master, is your foot okay?"

"It's been treated with medicine. It won't be a problem. Just take care of it." The old man said with a smile, "Thank you very much, miss, for sending me back. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's okay. It's not hard. Just tell me what you want to know." Lin Wu said modestly.

The old man smiled and shook his head, added some firewood to the stove, and then said: "A few years ago, a kind guest did come. He has a similar aura to you, girl, and he is probably from the same clan. If you want to know his whereabouts , you can go south, or wait a few more years, and you will eventually see it.”

Lin Wu was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that the other party seemed to be talking about the city lord.

She looked at the other party inquiringly, "So you are really an old servant of the former Seventh Ridge Lord of the Thirteen Ridges?"

The old man nodded calmly.

Lin Wu sighed and looked into his eyes.

The old man was confused: "Good man, why do you think so of me?"

"Are your eyes... not blind?" Lin Wu asked doubtfully.

The old man wondered: "Why would a good person ask this? Of course not. Although my old man is indeed an old man and his legs and feet are no longer usable, he is not blind."

Lin Wu thought to himself that Mo Chuan was indeed wrong.

"It's a casual question, don't worry about it." She cleared her throat and said, "But this junior is not here to find people of the same clan, but to go to the Thirteen Ridges."

The old man withdrew his gaze, his tone still gentle.

"Girl, your fate with the Thirteen Ridges has not come yet."

"But I must go."

"May all your wishes come true, girl."

The old man smiled and said, "Please forgive me for not being able to tell the girl."

Lin Wu frowned and said, "But you said before that you can do whatever I ask for."

The old man sighed: "It's not that I don't want to say it. The Thirteen Ridges have always been isolated from the world. Anyone who wants to find it must rely on fate or their own ideas to impress the Thirteen Ridges with practical actions. Otherwise, the Thirteen Ridges are not connected to the outside world."

"Furthermore, people in the Thirteen Ridges are prohibited from going to the outside world. If they must leave, they will be punished depending on the severity. They can only leave if they are still alive after the punishment. I was also punished at the beginning, and the Master of the Seven Ridges was kind enough to leave a way out for me. Let’s go. Even so, I can only live within the confines of the Thirteen Ridges.”

"It's a great blessing to be able to leave, so how can I reveal the secrets of the Thirteen Ridges. If you violate the rules, you will be punished by heaven, and I am also restricted from speaking out."

After hearing this, Lin Wu frowned even more.

In this case, she couldn't ask.

But Lin Wu was still a little unwilling to let go of such an opportunity.

She stepped back and tried the next best thing; "Then can you tell me about the Eleven Ridge Lord? For example, what price does it cost to borrow his natal magic weapon? If not, you can shake your head and tell me That’s it, no need to force it.”

Unexpectedly, the old man looked surprised after hearing this.

"Who are you asking? The Eleventh Ridge Master?"

Lin Wu nodded.

The old man said: "Since you know that the Lord of the Eleventh Ridge has a magical weapon of his own, don't you know that the Lord of the Eleventh Ridge has been sleeping for hundreds of years, and has never woken up, nor does he want to wake up. Even the Lord of the Four Ridges who brought him to the Thirteenth Ridge, There is no way to wake him up. He is also the most difficult to get along with among the thirteen ridge masters, and the one least likely to respond to outsiders' requests."

Lin Wu was stunned: "Why doesn't he want to wake up?"

The old man shook his head: "I don't know. I'm not very familiar with the Eleven Ridge Master."

Lin Wu asked: "Then why do you say that he is the least likely of the ridge masters to respond to requests from outsiders?"

The old man saw that Lin Wu's expression was a little more subtle, and he seemed to be a little worried, but he finally chose to tell her.

"Because the Eleven Ridge Master is ruthless and has no love."

"what?"

"His natal magic weapon is a three-life stone made from his heart."

The old man sighed, "The day the magic weapon was completed, he no longer had a heart. Moreover, he cut out his own heart with his own hands."

Lin Wu was surprised. He didn't expect that the Eleven Ridge Master's magical weapon came from this way.

The human heart can actually be made into a magic weapon? ?

The old man said: "Girl, if you really have a wish that must be fulfilled, it is better to ask other ridge masters. The eleven ridge masters are ruthless, he will not pity other living beings and will not wake up if they accept the request."

Lin Wu frowned, then why did Master want her to find the Eleventh Ridge Master? Moreover, she was obviously successful thirteen years ago, so what happened later. Could it be that she succeeded in finding other ridge masters?

She said: "Is there any other ridge master whose magic weapon can give birth to an independent and complete soul body that is not rejected by the law of heaven?"

"No." The old man looked at her in surprise, as if he didn't expect that she would want to ask for this, "Only the Eleven Ridge Master's Three Life Stones can do it."

Lin Wu had a headache.

Only the Master of the Eleventh Ridge could do it, so how on earth did she ask the Master of the Eleventh Ridge to agree?

At this time, the old man boiled the water, and he brought it over to get a bowl to pour water.

Lin Wu stood up and stretched out his hand, "Thank you, I'll do it."

The old man was about to say something when he glanced out of the corner of his eye and suddenly stopped.

"What's that on your hand?"

Lin Wu glanced at it and saw that the other party was referring to hair strings.

"Something my master gave me."

The old man looked a little strange: "Your master?"

Lin Wu nodded, and became more energetic when she thought about it. She couldn't see the Eleventh Ridge Master, but maybe her master could?

Lin Wu said: "My master's name is Mo Chuan. He wears a mask and has long white hair. Well... there are often bells, turquoise and other things hanging on his hair. He says they are magic weapons. He made my bracelet with his own hair. Yes. He is quite tall and his magic skills are particularly powerful."

Lin Wu originally wanted to describe Mo Chuan's appearance, but she had never seen it before, so she had to show the old man a spell that Mo Chuan taught her, thinking that the old man should be able to accurately recognize it from the source of the spell.

Who knew that the old man's face would become strange.

"I've only seen this technique on one person."

"But you said his name was Mo Chuan, and he wore a mask, and gave you his own hair to wear, and styled it like you said...?"
