Chapter 707 (2/2)
The old man explained, ”I was originally the elixir elder of canglu college. When I came to the college, I couldn't afford to pay the spiritual stone of my residence, so I built a thatched cottage on tiezhufeng. In order to avoid being disturbed in alchemy, I dug a cave in the mountainside. Later, after some hard cultivation, my realm improved step by step until I became the elixir elder. I occasionally came back to stay for a while and shut up in the cave Latent repair. ”
After listening to the other party's story, Zhang Yitian was surprised. He didn't expect that this person was so big. He was relieved of his confusion immediately.
But one yard to one yard. Although the old man deserves sympathy, he almost killed Zhang Yitian just now. Anyone would feel unhappy, and so would Zhang Yitian. Thinking of this, his face immediately pulled down and sternly asked, ”elder elixir, although your experience is worthy of sympathy, you manipulated the soul forging lotus into my sea without my consent, which almost killed me. How do you explain?”
The old man didn't think so. Instead, he said with a smile, ”you're cheap and good. I'm trapped in the soul forging lotus now. I just want to find a place to live. If you help me rebuild my real body, this soul forging lotus and all the items here should be a gift of thanks, how about it?”
Zhang Yitian has experienced many things. Zhang Yitian is no longer as ignorant as before and is easy to trust others. Moreover, he is not familiar with the elderly. Even acquaintances will betray. Zhang Yitian has not experienced such things, so he will not easily believe what the elderly said.
”You don't need a gift. Although the soul forging lotus is a good thing, it belongs to you, and I'm not blessed to accept it. After all, it's not so easy to reshape the real body. I don't have that ability. You can find reliable people to help, such as the Dean of canglu college. Since you used to be the dean of the book, the Dean must not forget the old love.” Zhang Yitian said, on the one hand, he was pushing away, On the other hand is the question of the elderly.
The two sides were strangers. The old man manipulated heilian into Zhang Yitian's sea of knowledge. This move itself is suspicious.
Secondly, the old man claims that he is the elixir elder of canglu college. He has a high status and deep seniority. He can't have half a friend, but he chose Zhang Yitian, a low-level and strange person, to seek help instead of his friend. It's very strange.
”Is the Dean so easy to see? Besides, the Dean likes to travel around. It's too difficult to find him.” the old man sighed.
Previously, Zhang Yitian heard that the whereabouts of the dean of canglu college were mysterious. Some people said that the Dean stayed in the ethereal peak for years to practice in isolation. Others said that the Dean liked to travel in the world of mortals, which was just right with the old man's statement. But in a word, it is extremely difficult for him to see the dean.
But Zhang Yitian did not shake his mind because of the old man's explanation, and his heart was still full of vigilance. He then added, ”then you must have friends! It's easy to do. Give me an address and I'll help you send the Black Lotus. It's also a snack for the elder.”
After hearing these words, the old man suddenly laughed three times, with a trace of banter in his laughter, and then asked, ”little doll, do you know what a friend is?”
On the question of friends, Zhang Yitian, a man of the earth, had long thought about it after experiencing a series of human changes, so he gave an answer without thinking, ”cats have cat ways, dogs have dog ways, and mutual affinity is a friend. It's so simple.”
The old man said in a deep tone: ”little doll, you should know that people want to change. If there is a conflict of interest, even if relatives betray, not to mention friends? The soul forging lotus is a sacred thing. If it falls into the hands of people with ulterior motives, I will die in an unnatural way. I don't even have the power to resist.”
The old man has a strong sense of crisis, but what he said is not unreasonable, just like what he said - people will become! The old man has been missing for so many years. Who knows if his original friends are still the same as before. Time has a subtle impact on a person. Maybe things have changed for a long time.
But Zhang Yitian's original intention is to refuse, so he can't analyze the problem from the perspective of the elderly. He retreated and begged for the second place and said, ”well, you can pick some people who used to have a good relationship. I'll help you test each other. If they don't change their mind, it's definitely a good thing for you.”
For the sake of this, the fool can see that Zhang Yitian really doesn't want to get involved in the old man's broken things, so he tried to get rid of it. He even thought of the strange idea of testing people's hearts. It can be seen how firm his inner thoughts are.
”Alas...” the old man sighed, ”it's too late. Just now the soul forging lotus entered your sea of knowledge and has been connected with you. If you forcibly peel it off, it will only hurt you. At least the realm will fall, and at worst it will die. Therefore, it's up to you to help me reshape my flesh.”
Zhang Yitian knew the changes in the sea. Now when the old man said so, his mood suddenly became gloomy.
”Why did you choose me? Am I a stranger worthy of your trust, even beyond your old friends?” Zhang Yitian didn't want to beat around the Bush and came straight to the point to shake off his doubts.
