The old man stared at him for a long time, and finally asked: "Now that you have entered, have you ever seen what is engraved on the stone tablet on the far right?"
"Is the old man talking about the monument of the Thousand Era Sword God?" Xiao Fan asked.
When the old man heard this, he looked at Xiao Fan in silence for a long time.
"Um... shouldn't I go in? I'm here to apologize to you, junior." Xiao Fan apologized with his hand.
The old man: "That's all, it's your turn to go in. No one can stop you. If you can't get in, you can't get in either."
Xiao Fan was confused when he heard this. Why does it sound so confusing?
"You rest here tonight, and then hit the road tomorrow morning when it gets light." The old man said and got up and went to bed to rest.
Xiao Fan asked: "Old man, what do you mean by going on the road?"
The old man turned to look at him: "What? You kid, do you still want to stay with me all your life? I don't have enough food to support you, so get out of here tomorrow."
After saying that, he turned to bed and rested.
When Xiao Fan saw him like this, it was hard to ask any more questions.
He originally wanted to ask him where the nearest city was, but seeing that he seemed to be very impatient now, in order not to make him angry, he decided not to ask.
Xiao Fan sat by the fire for a while and then continued to lie down and rest.
Soon, he fell asleep again.
Just after he fell asleep, the old man who was sleeping with his back to him turned around.
He looked at Xiao Fan next to the fire, his eyes a little mysterious, no one knew what his eyes meant...
The next morning, a ray of sunlight shone in outside the window.
Xiao Fan sat up in a daze.
He saw that it was already dawn outside.
"Old man, it's dawn." He stretched and said.
However, the old man has disappeared.
He was a little strange, where did the old man go?
He turned around and looked around, then went outside and looked around, but he didn't see the old man.
He really couldn't understand why the old man was like a ghost, appearing and disappearing.
Then he returned to the room. He planned to wait here for a while, wait for the old man to come back, say goodbye to him, and ask about the location of the city before leaving.
But at this moment, he suddenly saw a drawing on the table over there.
"Huh?" Xiao Fan was a little surprised when he saw the drawing.
He stepped forward to the table, picked up the drawing and looked at it, and was startled: "Isn't this a map?"
He didn't expect that the old man actually left a map for him. It seemed that he was afraid that he would get lost and stay here.
He couldn't help laughing when he thought of this.
Then he brought the drawings, wrote a farewell letter of thanks to the old man, and prepared to leave.
Just as he was about to go out, he suddenly noticed the fire over there.
Looking at the fire in the brazier, Xiao Fan felt a little strange.
Speaking of which, it seems that the fire has not been extinguished since I came in yesterday, and I have never added firewood to it. How come it is still so strong after burning for so long?
He took a look and didn't think much about it. Maybe it was some kind of special wood.
Then he closed the door and left.
He followed the directions on the map and walked straight ahead along the road.
After walking for more than two hours, he finally left the snow-capped mountains and came to another avenue.
He looked back and noticed something strange.
He looked at both sides of the road, which were lined with green grass and lush woods, but over there it was covered with snow, and there was no green at all on either side.
"It's strange, are the differences so obvious?" Xiao Fan asked curiously.
He glanced at it twice, didn't bother to think about it anymore, turned around and left here.
Walking straight ahead along the green avenue, Xiao Fan suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind.
He looked back and saw a carriage speeding from behind.
Because he was a little tired from walking, he thought of waving to see if the other party would take him with him.
However, before he raised his hand and spoke, the carriage drove directly past.
Xiao Fan was a little speechless. He should give himself a chance anyway and leave directly...
He had no choice but to continue walking forward.
But at this moment, he suddenly saw a horse screaming from the carriage in front!
Immediately afterwards, the carriage flipped over instantly!
Xiao Fan was dumbfounded, what's going on?
He took a closer look and saw that the horse seemed to have tripped over something and fell to the ground.
At this time, he saw a very beautiful woman crawling out of the carriage.
Xiao Fan was shocked when he saw that woman.
Because that woman is so beautiful that it would not be an exaggeration to describe her as charming.
Xiao Fan couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Are all the women here so beautiful?"
At this time, the servant over there stepped forward and helped the woman up.
Xiao Fan saw this and wanted to go up to see the situation.
"Charge!" A burst of shouting suddenly came from the hillsides on both sides.
Xiao Fan looked around and saw seven or eight rough men holding swords and wearing turbans rushing down from the hillsides on both sides.
The servant over there saw them and rushed down and shouted: "There are bandits! Miss, run!"
But the young lady was already frightened, and her foot was injured just now, so she couldn't run away at all.
Soon, the group of bandits came down and surrounded them.
"Stop! If you don't want to die, hand over all the valuable things you have!" the one-eyed dragon in the lead said to several people.
The servant looked at them and said, "Do you know who we are? How dare you rob us? Aren't you afraid that the Lu family of Longcheng will come and destroy you?"
Xiao Fan was speechless when he heard this. Did the old guy think they didn't die quickly enough?
It was a time like this, and there was no bodyguard around him. Only by paying the money honestly could he save his life. If he didn't pay the money, it would be fine, but he still dared to threaten them. Isn't this asking for death?
Sure enough, when the one-eyed dragon heard what the old servant said, he sneered: "What about the Lu family in Dragon City? I'll change the place with just one vote. Even if I, the King of Heaven, come, don't even think of us!"
As he spoke, he looked at the servant with a murderous look in his eyes: "You actually dare to threaten us. It seems that you have had enough."
"you!"
Poof! Before the old servant could finish his words, the one-eyed dragon raised his knife and chopped off his head with a single blow.
"Uncle De!" The young lady cried out in fright when she saw him like this.
The one-eyed dragon turned to look at her: "I didn't notice it on the mountain just now. The little lady is so beautiful. How about coming back with me to be the wife of Yazhai?"
The woman looked at him with a frightened face, and limped back: "You...don't come over."
The one-eyed dragon walked up to her with a joking look on his face: "What can you do to me now that I'm here?"
