The man seemed a little surprised when he saw this and asked, "How did you know that?"
Ye Tianchen continued,
"We just entered the city and found that they were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and they couldn't speak. In order to find Elder Wu, we also went to his mansion, but there was no one there."
"And just as we were about to go out today, someone happened to come to us. I guess it was your spies at the city gate who informed you, so you sent someone to meet us."
The other party laughed, paused and asked again,
"Hahaha, how did you find the person I am looking for?"
Ye Tianchen looked ahead and replied imitating the other party's tone, "I know based on this formation."
Seeing that there was no follow-up, the other party looked very interested and continued to ask, "Why don't you continue?"
Ye Tianchen looked at the sky and then at the ground, with an unknown miserable look on his face, and sighed,
"We have been searching for Elder Wu for a whole day and a night without getting any water, but you didn't even show your face. Is this the way to treat guests on earth?"
As he spoke, he started to cry,
Nan Mingkong looked at Ye Tianchen, who had exaggerated acting skills, and held his forehead helplessly, about to explain,
But I saw a person suddenly coming in front of me. Before I could see his face clearly,
The two only felt a hand grabbing them and flying forward.
When we settled down again, there were no alleys or bends at all.
They looked in front of them and saw that they were just in front of an extremely run-down thatched hut.
Standing next to him was a white-haired old man, wearing a white robe. Although his face showed his age, he still looked majestic.
Nan Mingkong stared at the person in front of him, then raised his hands and asked,
"Could it be that you are Elder Wu?"
The other party did not answer Nan Mingkong, but asked Ye Tianchen with great interest.
"Tell me, you said I am Elder Wu. What proof do you have?"
After hearing this, Ye Tianchen felt quite proud, crossed his arms over his chest, and said with a smile,
"You set up a false trap in the city to make people think that the city is at the end of its rope, but you used the Bagua Array to turn things around. In fact, you have moved everyone in the city to a safe place, and this Bagua Array is the biggest loophole!"
The old man looked at the person in front of him and laughed, "I never thought there could be such a wise person! You said your name is Ye Tianchen?"
Although Ye Tianchen didn't know what he meant, he still nodded, "That's right."
The old man smiled, touched his beard, and asked, "Are you interested in becoming my apprentice and learning the Bagua formation from me?"
Hearing this, Ye Tianchen shook his head like he was pounding garlic.
He refused, "I have a master, and I can't become another master! Besides, what good is the Bagua Array? It's better to kill a few more bad guys for fun!"
Nan Mingkong was still a little confused,
Ask Xiang Ye Tianchen, "How did you deduce from the Bagua array that it was set up by Elder Wu?"
Ye Tianchen raised his eyebrows, paced back and forth, and proudly told the reason,
"Yes, the Bagua Array can be set up by anyone with a little bit of cultivation. But I just discovered that this Bagua Array is different from the legendary one. To be precise, it has been improved."
"The door to death in this Bagua array is not to die, but to live after death, which has great potential to turn things around. Even if people from outside come in, they will not dare to rush into the door of death, so they will only try their best to survive and die.
The vitality of the people behind the door has improved a lot."
Nan Mingkong suddenly realized it and exclaimed,
"So you have seen through it from the beginning, so you dare to move forward boldly, without fear of entering the door of death? No wonder! I heard that it is very laborious to understand the secrets of the Bagua array, and there are especially few people who have the ability to improve on the Bagua array.
, in such a deserted city, who else could it be but Elder Wu?"
The old man looked at the two of them, smiled and said,
"Ye Tianchen, Nan Mingkong. What a name! What a good appearance! What a resourcefulness! Yes, I am indeed Mr. Wu. I dare not claim to be an elder."
After hearing this, Nan Mingkong became even more respectful and said respectfully,
"Elder Wu, please forgive me for any offence! I heard that Elder Wu is not only extremely high in cultivation, but also has a broad mind, upholds justice, and is able to recognize and employ people, so that we can achieve harmony between the other world and the earth. I respect you as the elder.
Nothing is too much!”
Elder Wu stretched out his hand, shook it, and sighed,
"If you could know people and use them, you wouldn't have been in such a big disaster!"
Ye Tianchen stepped forward and asked doubtfully,
"As soon as we arrived here, we heard strange things happening one after another. What on earth happened?"
Nan Mingkong also had a troubled expression on his face and asked,
"Before we entered the city yesterday, we found an iron cage outside the city. We felt that the things inside were very familiar, like...like..."
Elder Wu said for him,
"It's like your spiritual beast from another world, right?"
Both of them nodded and were waiting for Elder Wu to answer questions. Elder Wu did not speak, but walked into the room and invited the two of them.
"Please come in and sit down first."
As he spoke, he led the two of them into the room. After sitting down, he added tea.
"You guys have been traveling so hard all the way. Let's have some tea first. It's a long story, so let's talk about it while we eat."
Seeing what the elders said, the two of them could only have some snacks first. Indeed, they had not eaten anything all night.
Although he has super powers, he can't resist hunger all the time, so he still has to eat.
"The current situation can be traced back to an old incident ten years ago. I had two apprentices, one named Le Zhengyao and the other named Cheng Bocheng. They were both extremely talented people and very smart.
But their personalities are very different. One is kind-hearted. Although he has developed good skills, he just wants to go back to the mountains and forests. The other is extremely talented and scheming, but has a somewhat paranoid personality.
Due to the special relationship between the other world and the earth, every hundred years we will have someone responsible for recommending people with both talent and moral character to succeed us, and hold a pink contest..."
Ye Tianchen was sitting sideways eating grapes. Hearing this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said,
"No way. Seeing as you are only a hundred years old and have a lot of cultivation, why do you need to choose a candidate so quickly?"
Nan Mingkong was very respectful. Hearing Ye Tianchen's rather impudent words, he immediately stood up and bowed,
"Elder Wu, my brother's words are unreasonable, please forgive me!"
After saying that, he didn't forget to go over and tug on Ye Tianchen's sleeves, asking him to sit more upright, and then returned to his seat and sat upright.
I have to say that although they are both brothers, they are very similar to those two people.
Elder Wu was thinking, stroking his long white buzzing beard, and sighed,
"Alas! My two apprentices used to love each other just like you. It's just that I don't know what happened between them that year, and they actually parted ways..."
Elder Wu was secretly sad, with a sad look on his brows.
He unconsciously picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip of the tea, then slowly put it down. It seemed that his body was a little unable to hold on, and he was slightly supporting the edge of the table with one hand, making it difficult to see that he was tired.
But Nan Mingkong noticed Elder Wu's fragility and comforted him,
"Elder, please relax, you don't have to blame yourself for what happened. This may be their fate. But I don't know what happened next? Where are the two of them now?"
