Origin Chapter 434: Déjà Vu

Wu Zhongyuan knew that the old man in black was going to take him to see the woman in white. To say he was not nervous at all would be deceiving himself. Seeing the strong anticipation of Xinyuehu's true face, what the black-clothed old man said was amazing, but he wanted to see what kind of woman could make all women jealous and hated, and make all men like it.

The old man in black did not walk fast, and he kept his back to Wu Zhongyuan while walking.

"You keep your back to me, so you are not afraid that I will take the opportunity to escape?" Wu Zhongyuan asked with a smile.

"Your cultivation base is shallow, and you only rely on the blue dragon armor. Without the blue dragon armor, how can you escape?" said the old man in black.

Wu Zhongyuan couldn't understand what the old man in black said. His confidence really came from the blue dragon armor, but the problem now is that the blue dragon armor is always on him, and he can drive Yu and fly away at any time. Why is the old man in black? Will there be a saying of 'no blue dragon armor'?

Just as he was about to ask a question, the old man in black stopped, picked a purple fruit from a small green tree by the roadside, and threw it to Wu Zhongyuan, "This is a persimmon."

Wu Zhongyuan stretched out his hand to take it and took a closer look. He was very surprised and laughed, "Isn't this the mangosteen?"

"What did you say?" The black-clothed old man tilted his head to look at him.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer immediately, and looked at the fruit again. It was indeed a modern mangosteen. When squeezed hard, the pulp inside was very similar to mangosteen, but it was not a multi-petaled, but a complete white ball. . When I sniffed it, it was the smell of mangosteen, but I could be sure that it was not mangosteen, because the flesh of the fruit was extremely cold, and the flesh immediately frosted after crushing the shell.

"Why is this fruit so cold?" Wu Zhongyuan asked casually.

The old man in black turned around and walked, "Xinyue Island is an island of earth and fire. Except for the Lord, if the others do not take Hanyin persimmon, they will not be able to stay here for a long time."

Wu Zhongyuan was busy eating fruit, so he didn't ask any further questions. The taste of this thing was very similar to mangosteen, but it was cold in the mouth, like an ice lump in his mouth. After the modern mangosteen is known as a fruit, it has the effect of reducing fire, which is also in line with the characteristics of persimmon. Mangosteen is probably a variant of persimmon, but the effect is not as magical as persimmon.

The old man in black didn't seem to think that Wu Zhongyuan would dare to eat whatever he threw in the past, "Are you really safe from poison?"

"Neither, but I'm not afraid of most poisons." Wu Zhongyuan still had the frozen mouth fruit in his mouth, and his words were vague, "Why is it that after eating persimmons, you can turn things outside your body into illusions?"

It is his disease that he likes to find out the root cause, but the old man in black did not answer his question. Wu Zhongyuan can only carefully perceive the changes in his body, and try to find out the reason why Hua Persimmon can transform foreign objects together. Persimmons have no pits, and they melt very quickly after the entrance. When you breathe in, the cold air moves inside your lungs, and your limbs and bones feel cool.

"How long can this thing be stored?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"As long as the mysterious skin is not broken, it will not fail." The old man in black said casually.

"Can I pick a few?" Wu Zhongyuan asked carefully. After he finished speaking, he hurriedly added, "I don't want it for nothing, I'll exchange it for something."

The old man in black frowned, "Why do you think you can leave alive?"

Wu Zhongyuan did not answer the other party's conversation, but smiled, "Can I pick a few?"

The old man in black glanced at him, then turned around again.

Seeing that the other party didn't explicitly object, Wu Zhongyuan just took it as his acquiescence. He went to the tree and picked a few. He felt that it was not enough, so he took a few more. Since he had already taken it, he simply picked more. They are all, but I don’t have them in other places. I don’t know if I can come here in the future. Thinking of this, I caught more than a dozen more. Enough is enough, definitely enough, enough to eat as fruit.

Wu Zhongyuan packed the persimmon into the bag, and quickly followed the old man in black, "I have a question, people's lifespan is very short, those people you are looking for can't always take care of your master, unless you have a way prolong their life."

The old man in black did not answer.

"Since you have a way to prolong your life, why don't you use it yourself?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

The old man in black still doesn't answer.

Wu Zhongyuan was full of questions, but the old man in black didn't answer all his questions, and he couldn't do anything if he didn't answer, "I still think people are more reliable than monkeys, you can see that, as long as you lose Your control, it will be greedy for play and slack in errands."

"At least it won't hurt the Lord," said the old man in black.

"But it can't do errands." Wu Zhongyuan said.

The old man in black sighed.

The old man in black was taciturn. If Wu Zhongyuan didn't take the initiative to speak again, the atmosphere would freeze immediately. After a brief pondering, Wu Zhongyuan said again, "You don't seem to want to kill me."

The old man in black tilted his head to look at him, "Oh?"

Wu Zhongyuan smiled, "If you want to kill me, you won't wait until now, let alone take me to see your master."

"Go on," said the old man in black.

"You may be running out of time, people are unreliable, monkeys can't do well, and you have no time to continue picking, so you pinned your last hope on me, hoping for a miracle Appear." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"You are very smart," said the old man in black calmly, "but the smarter people tend to be less reliable."

"Why do you have such thoughts?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"The mind of a smart person is more complicated than that of a stupid person. The more complicated the mind, the greater the variables." The old man in black gave a wry smile, "Believe me, young man, I have lived more than five thousand years. Years, I know people's hearts better than you."

Wu Zhongyuan was both surprised and delighted when he heard the words. Five thousand years is a very scary concept. He never thought that the lifespan of humans or beasts could be so long. Since this person has lived for more than five thousand years, he must have Having experienced the six-path melee that year, he had been searching for clues about the other five-paths before, and wanted to know himself and the enemy, but he never expected to meet a living person who had personally experienced that war today.

While talking, the two came to the stone building on the mountainside. There must have been a large palace here before, and I don't know if it was destroyed by war or thousands of years of wind and rain. Most of the palace was in ruins, with only the ruins left, and there were only two houses left for people to live in. It was a semi-underground building, which should have been the basement of the palace back then.

The two stone houses are adjacent to each other. Each room is several hundred square meters and is very clean. There are living utensils such as beds, tables and chairs, all of which are made of stone. The two rooms are separated by screens to separate certain areas. The west room should be the residence of the old man in black, and the woman in white lives in the east room. When the two came, the woman in white was sitting at the stone table busy, and the monkey was squatting on the stone pier at the door.

Because the woman in white was facing the doors and windows, Wu Zhongyuan couldn't see her, but one thing he could be sure of was that the woman in white was not blind, because it was impossible for a blind man to tune the strings.

The old man in black walked into the room of the woman in white, and when Wu Zhongyuan stopped outside the door, he said, "Come in, she can't see you."

Wu Zhongyuan frowned in doubt, took a deep breath and stepped in.

"She's not blind." Wu Zhongyuan stood at the door and didn't go in. By this time, he became nervous again.

The old man in black did not answer the call, he walked over to the woman in white and stood still, waiting for Wu Zhongyuan to pass by.

To the arrival of the black-clothed old man, the white-clothed woman did not react at all, and continued to lower her head to tidy up the strings. In front of her was a seven-stringed guqin carved out of white jade. It will turn slightly, which also shows that her eyes are not blind.

"What happened to her?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"The Lord is injured." The black-clothed old man's tone was very calm.

"Hurt your soul?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Yuanshen." The old man in black corrected.

Wu Zhongyuan wanted to ask again, but the old man in black spoke first, "This is the residence of the Lord. It's disrespectful to stay for a long time. See it earlier and go out earlier."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded and walked over.

Although he was fully prepared in advance, Wu Zhongyuan was still stunned the moment his sight touched the face of the woman in white.

The woman in white is astonishingly beautiful.

But that wasn't the main reason for his shock. The reason for his shock was that this face was very familiar to him, as if he had seen it somewhere...
