The first thousand two hundred and eighteenth chapters return to the real old man
Chapter 1,218 The old man returns to his true nature
"The Supreme Elder."
Meng Bo bowed respectfully.
"Meng Bo, please go down."
An old, but very calm voice came from the attic.
"yes."
Meng Bo didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he winked at Lin Mu and whispered, "Go in by yourself."
Then he slowly retreated.
Outside the bamboo gate, Lin Mu was even more confused, feeling that everything about this matter was weird.
"My little friend, why don't you come in and talk for a while?"
At this time, the old voice in the bamboo building said with a smile.
Lin Mu didn't hesitate after hearing this and walked towards the bamboo building.
He has sensed that there is a powerful and endless aura in the bamboo tower, which is more powerful than Li Tianqiao before.
If you want to deal with such a person like him, there is no need to go to such trouble, not to mention that he has not found any ill intentions on the other side.
The facilities inside the bamboo building are very simple, including a low table and two futons.
As soon as Lin Mu entered the attic, he had a strange feeling, as if he had entered another world.
Then, his eyes were fixed on the opposite side.
An old man sat on the futon opposite.
His head was all gray, his skin was wrinkled like pine bark, and his eyes were cloudy. This was an old man who seemed likely to die at any time.
This old man is undoubtedly the Supreme Elder of Guizhen Building, the master of Earth Element, Old Man Guizhen.
"sit."
The old man Guizhen had a child-like smile on his face.
Lin Mu showed respect on his face and sat down opposite him.
No matter who Old Man Guizhen was in the past, at least at this moment, what he showed was sincerity and kindness like a child.
"What do you call me, little friend?"
When Lin Mu sat down, old man Guizhen said with a smile.
"Niu Youlin."
Lin Mu Road.
Unexpectedly, old man Guizhen blinked after hearing this and shook his head slyly: "You can't fool me. Your name is not Niu Youlin, but Lin Mu."
Lin Mu was surprised: "Senior, why do you know?"
Old Man Guizhen flipped his wrist, and a purple jade sculpture suddenly appeared in his hand.
Seeing this jade carving, Lin Mu was even more shocked, because this jade carving was exactly the jade carving of his mother Shen Beijun.
"You should also have your mother's jade carving on you, right?"
Old Man Guizhen said, "I sensed you through this jade carving. When you first entered Yangling City, I already knew it, so I asked Meng Bo to pick you up."
"Why can't I sense you?"
Lin Mu took out his mother's jade carving that he had treasured. Only then did he sense that there was a mysterious connection with the jade carving in the old man's hand.
"Because your realm is not enough."
Old Man Guizhen smiled and said, "I have cultivated my realm a long time ago, and the world around my body is its own. With this jade sculpture next to me, it is like being in another world, and naturally you cannot sense it."
"Senior, I understand."
Lin Mu suddenly understood, and then said seriously to the old man Guizhen, "Senior, why is there a statue of my mother in your hand? Have you ever seen my mother?"
"There's no need to call me senior. My surname is Sun and my name is. If you don't think I'm relying on my elders, you can call me Sun Lao."
Old man Guizhen has a very kind attitude.
"Old Sun."
Lin Mu naturally would not refuse.
This old man who died reminded him of Old Man Xing, and he felt a sense of intimacy in his heart.
"Okay, good boy."
The old man Guizhen held his beard and then said, "Actually, my lifespan ran out eighteen years ago, but I met your mother and with her help, I am able to survive until now."
Eighteen years ago!
Lin Mu's heart tightened. Not long after he was born that year, it was also that year that the Qianzhu messenger came and forced his mother, Shen Beilu, away.
"It's just that at that time, your mother was also in doom and couldn't help much, so she left in a hurry."
The old man Guizhen recalled, "But before she left, she left this jade carving and said that it was a piece of jade and that the mother jade was on her son Lin Mu. Now that the mother jade is on you, then you are not Shen Yatou's. Who is the son?"
"Unfortunately, I don't have the same means as my mother."
Lin Mu glanced at Old Man Gui Zhen and knew that he had very little life left. Unfortunately, Shen Beijun could extend his life by eighteen years, but he did not have such means.
Perhaps giving the ginseng fruit to someone to eat will have a certain effect on extending life, but in Lin Mu's heart, the ginseng fruit is not only a fruit, but also a wise and living companion, no different from a human being.
He cannot kill one person in order to save another person.
But other than that, he had no other choice.
"There is no need to force anything."
The old man Guizhen looked calm, "I have lived for more than three thousand years, and I have seen all the prosperity of the world, its ebbs and flows, and I have no regrets. If there is anything I can't let go of, it is Guizhen Tower."
"Besides, I should have died eighteen years ago. It was your mother who extended my life for eighteen years and made more arrangements. Even after my death, the Guizhen Building will fall down, but at least it can still continue. "
"The younger generation has very little power. Without the protection of Guizhen Tower today, I'm afraid they are all doomed, and they are even less able to help Guizhen Tower."
Lin Mu said helplessly.
The road to martial arts is like flowing water.
Lingwu Star is the pond, Sin Star Territory is the lake, and the Martial God Continent is the sea.
He is a big fish in ponds and lakes, but in the sea, he is just a small fish that cannot make much waves.
"You don't need to help me. I'm meeting you today. Firstly, I want to meet the son of my old friend. Secondly, I want to repay Miss Shen's kindness back then. I can't repay her, so I can only repay it to you."
The old man Guizhen said with a smile.
"My mother must act out of her true heart, not asking for anything in return. The younger generation understands Mr. Sun's kindness."
Lin Mu would naturally not do anything to repay a favor, not to mention that the favor was not given by him, but by his mother Shen Beijun.
As a child, all you want is not to fall under the authority of your parents. How can you squander the kindness and authority of your parents?
"Child, don't be so serious. Relax and smile more. The world is so beautiful."
Old man Guizhen said very naughtily.
Lin Mu twitched the corner of his mouth. Many times, old people are just like children. This sentence is true.
"You have to walk the path of martial arts on your own, so I won't give you much help, let alone try to encourage you to improve your cultivation."
Old Man Guizhen continued to smile and said, "What I can give you is some insights and experiences on the martial arts path. Whether you can gain anything from it depends on your own understanding."
"Child, do you know how the word "Guizhen" in my Taoist title came from?"
"Please ask Mr. Sun for advice."
Lin Mu cupped his hands, thinking in his heart that you were asking questions knowingly. I just came to Martial God Continent, and it was my first time in Yangling City. How could I know how you got your Taoist name?
"Returning to one's true nature comes from a stone tablet."
The old man Guizhen said, "Originally, I was just an ordinary person who could not practice cultivation. It was not until I was eighty years old that I picked up an ancient stone tablet by chance. On the stone tablet, the word Guizhen was engraved."
"I saw that this stone tablet was quite impressive, so I took it home. Unexpectedly, my body became increasingly healthy and strong, and I also gained the ability to practice."
