Chapter 189 The Mysterious Old Man

Chapter 189 The mysterious old man

A heart-breaking song, where can I find a close friend in the world?

The deep and melodious sound of the piano makes people cry when hearing it.

But why did Baili Yuan's body become soft? Sitting on the river bank like an idiot with empty eyes?

It was already too late when Ye Xiaochuan couldn't feel the bad sound of the piano. He was about to stop the mysterious old man from continuing to play the piano, but his whole body seemed to be frozen by a mysterious force.

He was horrified, and he tried his best to say three words hoarsely: "Who are you?"

The old man still did not turn his head, but the sound of the piano suddenly became louder. The rapid sound made Ye Xiaochuan feel as if he was in a rough ocean, and huge waves hit his mind again and again.

But then, the slow and soft sound of the piano made him feel like a spring breeze again, looking at the cattle and sheep everywhere in the vast grassland.

Ye Xiaochuan didn't lose his mind. He knew that he was on the right track. This mysterious old man was definitely extraordinary. The sound of the piano alone can control people's minds!

"Young hero, your body is impure, come out."

After speaking, the sound of the piano became louder, and then a scene that surprised Ye Xiaochuan appeared in front of his eyes. He saw a young man in flowing white clothes separated from his body. The young man was handsome, elegant, and unrestrained, but he turned out to be someone who had been hiding all this time. Situ Feng's soul was forcefully pulled out of his body.

Then, he felt a sudden surge of sleepiness and soon lost consciousness.

The pier was still very lively, but it seemed as if no one saw this scene, nor the floating soul of the man in white.

The old man finally turned his head, he saw a withered old face, but his eyes were not cloudy, but clear and compelling.

Even though Situ Feng was just a wisp of soul, he was still very frightened at this moment.

He asked: "Who are you? Why are you aware of my existence?"

There was a smile on the corner of the old man's mouth, and he said: "I am just an idler in the mountains. Unexpectedly, more than six thousand years have passed, and Senior Sword God still has a ray of soul left in the world. It seems that this ray of soul of Senior has been there all these years. Is it hidden in the edgeless sword?"

Situ Feng was horrified!

When he was alive, he was also a master who controlled the world. He had few rivals at that time. He never expected that today, six thousand years later, there would be a cultivator with such profound experience in the world.

Just now, his soul was forcibly pulled out of Ye Xiaochuan's sea of ​​​​souls, without any resistance. He knew that this mysterious old man was afraid that his cultivation had reached the peak, reaching the state of perfection, perhaps compared to his peak during his lifetime. The times don’t show off too much.

He said: "I never expected that there would be a peerless person like you in this world. Even if I were at my peak, it would be very difficult for me to defeat you."

The mysterious old man smiled calmly and said: "Senior, I have overrated you. I am old and dying. My Taoism may have reached the highest level that humans can achieve, but my body is no longer good. The internal organs have begun to degenerate a hundred years ago, and all the functions of the body have also declined. "Well, if I really fight with life and death, the real power I can release is actually not high. I'm afraid I'm young. Hey, I'm old, I'm going to turn into stone."

Situ Feng knew that what this mysterious old man said was not a lie. Manpower will eventually be exhausted. Cultivators are also human beings. The longer they live, the more powerful they are.

In fact, it's just the opposite. Five hundred years is a limit for human beings. If most cultivators want to live to five hundred years old, they must reach the ninth level of the unity of heaven and man.

But once a human being reaches the age of five hundred, no matter how high his or her spiritual practice is, all functions of the body will weaken. Even if the body is full of spiritual power, only 50 to 60% of it can be activated.

Therefore, there has been a saying in the world of cultivation since ancient times that feathers turn into stone. When the true energy in a cultivator's body is too thick and huge, the true energy will solidify quickly when he dies, causing the entire body to turn into stone, even if thousands of years have passed. , this stone statue will not change.

In the era when Situ Feng lived, there were not many masters of cultivation who could turn feathers into stone. There were only a handful of them. He always thought that after six thousand years of ancient cultivators disappearing, cultivation in the world would decline drastically. It would take at least tens of thousands. It took him years to regain his strength, but he didn't expect to meet a master who could turn feathers into stone.

This shocked Situ Feng!

Because he practiced swordsmanship and did not rely on the strong true energy. Even if he died, he would not be able to turn into stone. What he couldn't do, the old man in front of him could actually do it!

He said dryly: "I never thought there would be an expert like you in the world. I wonder how many people with your level of cultivation are left in the world?"

The old man smiled and said: "There should be no more than five of them. They have lived for hundreds of years. Who knows if they are dead. Some time ago, I received a message from Yu Jizi. He said that Wufengjian might be born. I I came here to take a look. Unexpectedly, I not only met the master of Wufengjian's generation, but also met you, the master of the previous generation. Senior Sword God, you are a master of nature, a scholar of heaven and man, and a master of reincarnation. I am very surprised. Why should you keep a trace of your soul? You can’t reincarnate without one of the three souls, so why should you give up your last chance to reincarnate?”

Situ Feng showed a hint of tragedy and bitterness. How could he not know that it was impossible for an incomplete soul to be reincarnated, but he couldn't let it go after all.

He wanted to see if the legend about Wu Feng and Zhan Chen's fate for three lives and seven lifetimes was true.

He wanted to see if the next generation of owners of these two divine swords would have the same tragic ending as he and Su Qinglian.

He wanted to see if human power could defeat heaven.

As for why he only retained one soul and one soul instead of all three souls and seven souls, it was actually very simple, to avoid the thunder.

My complete soul is too powerful and will attract thunder from the sky anytime and anywhere, and the soul is the most afraid of thunder. The first spring thunder every spring will completely disappear countless ghosts in the world.

By retaining only one soul and one soul, it would be difficult for Tian Lei to detect him, and with the protection of the spirit-gathering array in Wufengjian, he could sleep for a long time until the next generation of Wufengjian master inherits this sword. .

This was his secret and the source of pain in his life. He was not prepared to tell anyone, including the gray-haired old man in front of him.

Seeing the pained look on Situ Feng's face, the mysterious old man sighed softly. It seemed that he had felt the pain from the depths of Situ Feng's heart. He seemed to have known in a short period of time that period that had long been forgotten by the world. A sad and beautiful story.

So he didn't continue to ask Situ Feng this question. This was the most hidden scar in Situ Feng's heart.
