In the cold autumn wind, Chen Nan walked from one town to another. He was wandering aimlessly, and his lonely figure looked a little lonely. Although his body was upright, looking at the back, he always gave people a sense of wonder.
A sad feeling.
Throw away the magic sword, abandon the fierce halberd, and retire sadly. The years of glory will never come again, and have become a passing cloud. The strong men who dominate the world are now disabled.
Falling from the peak to the ice valley, Chen Nan did not go crazy or yell. Faced with all this, he remained silent and kept walking from one town to another, wandering forever.
The divine power in Chen Nan's body drained very quickly. In just half a month, he fell from the sixth level to the fifth level. At this rate... he was in a worrying situation!
He is obviously a young man in his prime, but his appearance already resembles that of a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a lot of white silk in his bun. Chen Nan no longer considers himself a cultivator now, he is working hard
He blended into the vast sea of people, but he didn't know what else to do in his limited years.
Snowflakes began to fall from the sky and the earth, and Chen Nan's thin clothes rustled with the cold wind. After entering the cold winter, he often coughed and often coughed up blood.
The seven souls of the ancient king were completely shattered and turned into a killing sword. It was a destructive force. Even the eight souls of the Chen family were severely damaged this time. After the eight souls left the body, it was a miracle that Chen Nan did not die on the spot.
Now, his body is indeed extremely weak. Although he is still upright, his steps are no longer as steady as before.
There are three big countries in the Eastern Continent, the Chu State in the west, the Moon Worshiping Kingdom in the north, and the Anping Kingdom in the south. The rest are small vassal states. Of course, the three big countries are not absolute hegemons, because in the far north, the Moon Worshiping Kingdom is within the borders of the Moon Worshiping Kingdom.
In addition, there are also a group of nomadic people living on that prairie.
Although there is no country and various tribes live scattered, this place is indeed a powerful nation. They often go south to invade countries such as Baiyue. In the eyes of the bloodthirsty nomadic strongmen, the people in the south are like the lambs they raise. Every season
They all have to go south to plunder.
In this winter, Chen Nan came to the Moon Worshiping Kingdom. Near the border, he saw displaced people, miserable scenes of families being destroyed, and the roaring backs of people on horseback who were burning, killing and looting. He suddenly felt
There are some things you can do in your final years.
He became a special border veteran. He already had a lot of white hair on his head, and there was blood when he coughed. It was impossible to be recruited as a border soldier, but when he broke a stone tablet with one punch, he was admitted as an exception.
Already.
Although at this time, Chen Nan had already dropped from the fifth level to the third level.
But holding the long sword that he had not seen for a long time, he felt that his blood flow was accelerating, and his lonely heart seemed to be glowing with a little vitality. After all, he is a cultivator. No matter how he deliberately forgets it, the fighting spirit in his bones is.
It cannot be completely eradicated.
From then on, a veteran appeared on the border, an immortal veteran! Although he was sick, he stood up tenaciously from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood every time.
Be at the forefront and retreat at the end.
Although his body was crippled and his energy and blood were weak, he could no longer shock the world. But in the baptism of life and death again and again, he seemed to have found the final destination of his life.
He can no longer fight with people like Hei Qi, but he must let the undying fighting spirit in his heart live on another battlefield!
No longer the center of attention, no longer the focus of attention, now he kills enemies silently.
Three years have passed, and this veteran, whose health is getting worse day by day, sees that he can no longer hold on for much longer.
No one knows that this "middle-aged man" with gray hair was once a man of great influence who dared to confront the unparalleled king. People will not know that he once dominated the world.
In the past three years, Chen Nan's energy and blood have been even more depleted. Although the devouring of death has slowed down, his divine power has now completely exhausted, and his combat power is no longer at the first level.
The veteran who was once able to defeat the enemy with his bare hands is now becoming slower and slower, and his health is getting worse day by day, but he still refuses to retreat from the battlefield. All the soldiers at the border are feeling astringent.
A general couldn't bear the veteran who had killed countless enemies and eventually died on the battlefield. He issued orders more than once to promote his military rank and keep him away from the battlefield, but the veteran refused every time.
"In his old age, a martyr is full of ambition!" That general had tears in his eyes.
The general doesn't know Chen Nan's past, but he knows that he must have an unspeakable past, and he knows something about his state of mind - dying in battle!
Yes, Chen Nan wants to leave his remaining life on the battlefield. He knows that it is impossible to fight Hei Qi again, but as a strong man who once shocked the world, dying in battle is his best destination. This is his last
wish!
However, in the end, he did not realize his wish to die in battle. His body became weaker day by day, and in the end, he was no different from ordinary people. When he saw the tearful soldiers following him and protecting him from the knife, Chen Nan
He sadly left the battlefield and stayed away from the border.
His hair was gray, his face was haggard, he looked like a forty-year-old man, and his body was decaying like an old man. The soldiers bid him farewell with tears in their eyes. Chen Nan left silently with a solitary knife, leaving behind a lonely and lonely figure.
Another three years have passed. Although the devouring of death has really slowed down, Chen Nan has really become very weak. Now his physique is far inferior to that of ordinary people. He has traveled all over the Eastern Continent.
, but I have never gone to several important places that I really want to visit.
It wasn't until the seventh year, when he had a premonition that his time was running out, that he decided to take a look.
He originally wanted to make the Cemetery of Gods and Demons his last stop. He was born here, and he died here. He couldn't die on the battlefield, so maybe returning to the place of origin would be a good destination.
However, in the end, he made the Cemetery of Gods and Demons his first stop. Since he chose to die silently, let life and death remain a mystery forever, so as not to hurt his friends or let his children grieve. A visit to the Cemetery of Gods and Demons is enough, he has his own home.
Burial place.
At the second stop, he really wanted to go to Kunlun Xuanjie Baihua Valley, but he couldn't go! In the end, he could only sigh.
Unable to go to Baihua Valley, Chen Nan dragged his weak body to Yandang Mountain, where he had the most beautiful memories. It was in this mountain range that he met the innocent girl.
Looking at the strange cliffs, waterfalls and springs, he was silent. He lived in a nearby mountain village for two years, reminiscing about the past.
In the end, Chen Nan could only sigh and left Yandang Mountain. He felt ashamed of Yuxin and vowed to resurrect her. Although he tried again and again, he failed to change anything. Now he has no ability...
There are still many places he wants to visit, but now he no longer has that physical strength. His energy and blood have been depleted, and his body is extremely weak, making it difficult to travel long distances.
It wasn't until the tenth year that Chen Nan made it all the way to the capital of Chu State. Maybe he should go to the west to have a look. Although he knew that he would probably die on the road in a month or two, he could only keep walking.
.Only then can he feel at peace.
Even though the tortoise has a long life, there is still time for it to end. A soaring snake rides on the mist and eventually becomes ashes.
"Perhaps I will die before I leave the Chu Kingdom?" Chen Nan said to himself.
The autumn wind has passed, and heavy snowflakes have drifted between the sky and the earth. The whole land is covered with white, and it is another cold winter.
Chen Nan, dressed in ragged clothes and unkempt, was biting into the dry and cold steamed buns given by others in the freezing cold wind.
It is impossible to say that your heart is not bitter!
After all, he once roamed the world, and his power shook the three realms. In cross-border battles, the ancient kings who pursued him were as panicked as a bereaved dog.
However, he was not lost for long. Now, this crippled body is not the most pitiable. There are many, many people who are even more miserable than him.
He had been aloof before and had never experienced this kind of feeling. He finally had some insights.
Looking back, I saw scenes of joys and sorrows. Although I have regrets, life is like a dream. Who can sing happily all the way?
Under the bright moonlight, the earth was completely white.
Chen Nan walked on the snow outside the capital of Chu State, stepping on the thick snow, and walked slowly towards the small town twenty miles away. Passing by Chu Capital, facing such a snowy night, he recalled certain past events
.
Back then, on a night like this, he and an old friend watched the snow and the moon together in that small town.
Is Dragon Dance okay?
Chen Nan still remembered that on that snowy night, Long Wu cried weakly and confided to him all the past events with Qianlong. Now that his life was not long, he passed by his old place and wanted to take a look.
Ten years have passed, and Chen Nan has become a mediocre commoner. He no longer pays attention to the affairs of immortals and gods. He no longer knows how his old friend is doing today.
In the middle of the night, Chen Nan was exhausted and came to this small town. The place seemed not to have changed at all, and was almost the same as what he saw that day. This somewhat surprised Chen Nan.
The inn outside the town stood alone in the snow. Chen Nan was filled with emotion after arriving here. Ten years have passed! The scenery here is still the same, but the people are no longer what they used to be.
In the past, when his cultivation was not yet complete, he could easily fly to the roof with a single movement. Today, he could only sit silently on the snow, looking up at the bright moon.
"Longwu wishes you peace and happiness." Chen Nan looked at the bright moon in the sky and muttered to himself: "The next stop will be to the Western Continent..."
Silently, a beautiful figure appeared on the roof, just like the Guanghan Fairy descending to the mortal world. She gently sat on the ridge of the roof, looking at the bright moon, her eyes filled with moisture.
"Ten years...I've been waiting for you here for ten years, and I have never left even half a step." Although she did not look at Chen Nan and her words were very calm, there were clearly tears rolling down her eyes.
Chen Nan was very surprised. He didn't expect to meet Long Wu here. He had been waiting for him here for ten years!
"You came after all, and you didn't let me down."
"Miss, you mistakenly recognized the person." Chen Nan stood up with great effort. Although his words remained calm, his heart was very bitter. His hair was gray, and his weak body was a little rickety. He was simply an old man in his twilight years. He was sleeping in the snow.
Don't go back far.
"The appearance has been changed and aged, the divine power has disappeared without a trace, and the aura has completely changed. But, I know it must be you! From the moment you stepped into this town, I knew it was you.
!" Long Wu's eyes were moist, and he shouted loudly: "Why is this happening? What happened? Stop!"
"Miss, you got the wrong person!" Chen Nan staggered forward, but he was so weak that he fell down in the snow.
The dragon danced like a fairy from Guanghan. She cried silently, helped Chen Nan up, and said in a trembling voice: "Why is this happening?"
"Miss, you have recognized the wrong person!" Chen Nan wanted to withdraw his arm, but failed.
"Why? Why is this happening?!" Long Wu couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears: "For Xiao Chenxi, he used the Seven Heaven-defying Demon Swords to kill Tao Ran, the fifth-level peerless master, and dared to fight against thousands of armies.
Where has the man gone?! Where has the majestic man gone ten years ago, holding a Fangtian painted halberd, roaming the sky and the earth, and daring to fight the unparalleled king Heiqi? Where is your ambition and pride that once looked down upon the world?! Why don't you dare?
Facing a weak woman like me!"
Chen Nan was silent and turned around slowly. He also wanted to cry, but there were no tears anymore.
Long Wu cried loudly: "Chen Nan... I know something extremely painful must have happened to you, but you shouldn't run away! No matter what happens, no matter what you become, you will always be in my eyes.
