Chapter 370 The Red-haired Old Monster, Living Next to Time

What caught my eye was a pair of shriveled hands, without flesh and blood, as if a thin layer of skin was attached to the bones.

He has a thin body, deep eye sockets, and a face full of wrinkles. His appearance is quite ordinary, but as long as he has a nose and eyes, he is still acceptable.

The biggest feature is his hair, which is blood-red, very thick, and flows down like a red cloak. It looks very strange and weird.

After the red-haired old man crawled out, he sat down on the ground with his back against the coffin and kept coughing. Every time he coughed, he coughed up mud and sand. Then he gasped for breath, with a look of kidney deficiency on his face.

Su Mu also looked at the red-haired old man with shock. What made him feel incredible was that the old man's cultivation was quite high!

It is also the Hedao realm above the Jidao, and it is the perfect Hedao realm!

However, the aura he displayed was so weak that it did not resemble the pressure that one should have when reaching the perfect state of Hedao. Instead, it resembled that of an old man who had overdrawn his body, whose old age was unknown, and who was more or less suffering from kidney deficiency.

"Who are you?"

Su Mu originally wanted to ask "What are you?", but it seemed impolite to ask like that.

After hearing this, the red-haired old man supported the coffin, stood up tremblingly, faced Su Mu, put his hands together, and bowed, saying: "Hello, senior."

"We know each other?" Hearing the other party's tone, it seemed as if he knew me.

"You may not know me, senior, but I have heard of your great name a long time ago. Now that I see you today, I find that you are younger than what I heard." The red-haired old man's voice was hoarse, as if it was squeezed out of sand.

Hearing this, Su Mu raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that he was somewhat famous?

The red-haired old man had heard of the legendary guardian of the River of Time a long time ago and had always been in awe of him, but he never expected that one day he would fall into his hands.

The question is, how could Huang, Ye Fan and others know this guardian and let him intervene?

According to rumors, doesn't this senior who guards the long river generally not interfere in the internal affairs of the heavens and myriad worlds?

"What are you doing lying in the coffin?" Su Mu asked the question in his mind.

Why would a living person lock himself in a coffin for no reason? Pretending to be dead?

"This... This is hard to say. Senior, you can understand that this is my hobby." The red-haired old man smiled awkwardly.

Hearing this, Su Mu was also stunned. There really are people with such bad tastes. It seems that the higher the cultivation level, the weirder the hobbies.

"You can lie in the coffin, there's nothing wrong with it."

"What do you mean by poisoning my waters?"

Su Mu went straight to the point and asked the key question.

Faced with the question, the red-haired old man was also startled, and then he stammered to explain: "I am really sorry for causing trouble to you, senior."

This question is asking why one should pollute the worlds where Slave Huang, Ye Fan and others are.

Sometimes, when facing a powerful being, the best way is not to quibble, but to admit your mistakes proactively.

Seeing that the other party was so sincere in admitting his mistakes, Su Mu did not pursue the matter too much. It might be a way of cultivation for the other party. Anyway, he was polluted and he purified himself, so he could earn a lot of favor points.

"Never mind, it's not a big deal."

Su Mu waved his hand, acting very calmly, not seeming to care at all.

Seeing this, the red-haired old man was also stunned.

Polluting and enslaving so many worlds is just a trivial matter in the eyes of this senior. It seems that the state of mind of this senior who guards the river is truly "pure", and he has reached a perfect state.

Even though I had made such a big fuss, in his eyes, it might just be a small fight.

This is the absolute gap in levels!

"Thank you for your understanding, senior." The red-haired old man clasped his fists.

"It's nothing. Go back to where you came from and don't stay on the river and cause trouble."

Su Mu waved his hand and prepared to leave, returning to his normal patrol and maintenance work.

"Senior, please stay." Seeing Su Mu was about to leave, the red-haired old man called out to him.

Su Mu turned around, looking confused.

"If you are not busy, could you please take up a little of your time and come to my house for a cup of tea?" the red-haired old man asked tentatively.

"No, I'm busy." Su Mu waved his hand to refuse.

"Senior, my home is nearby and we'll be there in a few minutes." Seeing Su Mu leaving, the red-haired old man immediately shouted.

"You live on the river too?" Hearing this, Su Mu suddenly became interested and asked.

Hearing this, the red-haired old man scratched the back of his head awkwardly, waved his hand and said, "Not really."

How could he have the right to live on the long river of time? He just had a small cave. If he encountered a catastrophe, he would hide in the small cave on the long river of time for a while.

In all the heavens and worlds, except for the senior who is guarding the river in front of him, no one can live permanently on the long river of time.

At most, you can stay here for a while to avoid some karmic disasters, and then leave the river immediately after your body reaches its limit, otherwise your life will be in danger.

At this moment, an evil and bold plan suddenly emerged in Su Mu's mind.

"Lead the way."

Su Mu nodded and agreed.

"Okay, senior, please move and follow me."

The red-haired old man waved his hand, picked up the black coffin on the ground, and then walked towards a small river in front.

In this way, Su Mu followed the red-haired old man and walked towards the water ahead.

As they walked, they came to a secluded body of water. The water was clean, unpolluted and peaceful.

In the middle of this body of water, there is a small floating island, and on the island is a simple wooden house.

The cabin is not big, only one story, and from the surface, it is just an ordinary cabin, with a square fence surrounding a small courtyard.

"Senior, my humble abode is small, I hope you won't despise me."

The red-haired old man led Su Mu to the small courtyard on the island.

This courtyard is not big, even a little shabby, and the cabins are made of some discarded wood.

Although there is a small courtyard, it is very simple, just surrounded by a fence.

"Not bad." Su Mu did not reject the other person's kindness.

……..

"You are too kind, senior. It is just a small place for me to stay."

The red-haired old man waved his hand.

…….

"Senior, I haven't been back for too long. I think this tea is hard to swallow."

The red-haired old man finished pouring the tea and said with a smile.

…

"Well enough."

Su Mu has tasted countless teas, and this tea is pretty good.

…

"Do you usually live here?"

Su Mu asked.

It's very strange because he has basically not seen any neighbors or residents around him over the years.

"I rarely come back, usually only for a period of time." The red-haired old man replied.

He would only come here when he encountered unavoidable disasters and karma.

……..

"What is this?"

Su Mu found something strange and asked.
